[Drew Phillips]

You're not gonna finish it?

[Inya]

I don't. I literally don't know it. I've heard it 18 million times, and I don't know it all the way through.

[Drew Phillips]

But there has to be a word that for you, like, just being incapable of remembering, like, music sometimes. Like, why can you just like, why does it not register?

[Inya]

It's called having my mind. Like I was saying in a past episode, I'm not bound to earthly things. I'm more of a spiritual being. And music is one of those earthly pleasures that I don't partake in simply because it is hedonistic.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, it's like, where is my mind? Kind of vibe. Like, yeah, but you don't know. You're so stupid.

[Inya]

That should be. That should be the new intro to the podcast.

[Drew Phillips]

Where is my mind?

[Inya]

Where is my mind?

[Drew Phillips]

I feel like we could do a good cover of it if. If everything goes south. I'm just gonna join a cover band.

[Inya]

You and Josiah's cover band duetting Katy Perry. I don't fucking know.

[Drew Phillips]

It's good. We would cover Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber. Those alike.

[Inya]

What was the one yesterday?

[Drew Phillips]

It was an Ed Sheeran song.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah.

[Inya]

Ed She Banshee. That's crazy that we haven't spoken about once on this podcast, but yeah, Ed, She Banshee.

[Drew Phillips]

This coffee tastes like in doo doo.

[Inya]

Yeah. You were fumbling with your machines this morning.

[Drew Phillips]

I know. Nespresso is out to get me. Nespresso, I've realized or decided is a conglomerate. Scary brand. They only want you to use their products. It is terrifying.

[Inya]

Just like Apple.

[Drew Phillips]

Literally, like, no, Everything doesn't have to be an Apple kind of company. Although I love Apple. I am a consumer of Apple. Also. This is Emergency Intercom. We never said that it would be the first episode that we didn't say that. We just kept going.

[Inya]

Oh, my God. Welcome to this episode of Emergency Intercom.

[Drew Phillips]

Even though everyone fucking hates us now.

[Josiah]

I guess, like, I don't hate you guys.

[Inya]

Oh, my God.

[Drew Phillips]

Everyone I didn't say, oh, a bunch of nobodies hate us. You're every, like, important people.

[Josiah]

Totally. I get it.

[Inya]

Thank you. What were you. What were both of you saying to me this morning? I forgot. Like, I was, like, really insecure about something and I went to my room to grab something to cover it up.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, you fudgeing. You like comments? Oh, your hair looks good. Is that what you want to hear?

[Inya]

Yeah. Both Kai and Inya were like, oh, my God, your hair looks so good today. Take.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, you're serving mad scientist and serving frizz. No, I like your hair without hats.

[Inya]

Like, I hate my hair.

[Drew Phillips]

You should stop wearing all those hats.

[Josiah]

Your hair looks really good today.

[Inya]

Thank you.

[Josiah]

Like, when you took the hat off, it was kind of like in those 90s movies where, like, the girl take.

[Inya]

The glasses off and the ponytail down.

[Josiah]

Yeah, exactly.

[Inya]

Yeah. Or like the golden box opening in Pulp Fiction. I feel like it was like that for you guys. Like, it was just like, almost more like Medusa. Like. Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, yeah. Scary. We were scared. We were really scared. I was scared also. You like comments, which that is something to be insecure about if you ever get a liked comment from the pretty girl and cool boy. That was not me. That was old ass lying. An old person. He literally, he was like. He's like, what? It's like my way of being like, you did good.

[Inya]

And yeah, that is a normal way to hold a fucking phone.

[Drew Phillips]

People don't do this. Like, why is your wrist is permanently like this? You're like.

[Inya]

I know why.

[Drew Phillips]

And then on your iPad, I was watching you yesterday. I was watching you yesterday use your ipod on the floor, and you were literally, like, you were in a moment of panic and you were still like. Like, you. It's. It's not. I think it's out of, like, you don't want to have to put work into your wrists and hold them up. Which actually, maybe it's better for you because I'm pretty sure holding your wrist, like, straight.

[Inya]

And I am just an efficient person. And most people live their life with really gnarly built up tension in every place in their body. And I just let go of that. Like, I just don't hold.

[Drew Phillips]

You are tensions.

[Inya]

Yeah, I'm. Hello.

[Drew Phillips]

You are loose like that. But yeah, Drew's the old person who likes comments, which I guess maybe it's not an old person thing, because every like or comment on TikTok has like.

[Inya]

Maybe you're the old person for not liking comments. How about we talk about that? No, the thing is is I see a comment, I just spare my life.

[Drew Phillips]

I don't give it out like that.

[Inya]

I like the comments that I thought in my head where I was like, oh, that's funny and you're funny too and I'm funny and I'm gonna like give you props on that. Or I like the comments that I'm just like, damn. Like so many people are actually randomly so funny like once in a lifetime. And they like put all of their power into this comment and they just.

[Drew Phillips]

Tore like, I wonder if there's anybody on TikTok who they are a liker or commenter. Like that's their thing. They don't have videos. They don't like do anything other than like comment on videos.

[Josiah]

My friend does that.

[Drew Phillips]

Really?

[Josiah]

Yeah. And he like eats he beast. He doesn't post any kind of. He just does comments and gets like 16,000 likes on every single one.

[Drew Phillips]

I bet.

[Inya]

Like we should be comment influencers.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. Does that reflect on your account? Like you know when it says like the likes you have, do comment likes add into that? I'm like curious because imagine like low key TikTok should be low key. TikTok should add commenters to the creator fund if they surpass a certain amount of likes. Because like I guess comments are a big part of that app.

[Inya]

So that. And also on Twitter when someone has like an uber viral tweet that gets like 250,000 likes, all of these dildo brands, literally the rose brand reaches out to them and it'll be like them like praying for their grandma that just died and like posting like a slideshow of their grandma, like being goofy when she was alive. And then they have a pinned comment. The first comment back is them responding to their own tweet. And it's like, also I've been using this rose dildo recently. Like please buy it with this link. And it's like the rose company is.

[Drew Phillips]

Paying was like, we'll literally give you $100 if you just reply to probably.

[Inya]

25 if you respond to it. Because it'll get a bunch of like eyes. Cuz really, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, like all brands care about is eyes. Eyes, how many eyes you have with that.

[Drew Phillips]

They literally only care about eyes without a face.

[Inya]

Yeah, true, true, true, true, true. They will buy if, if you're getting 15 million monthly impressions. Whatever. I'm not getting into that.

[Drew Phillips]

Well, if I was dating somebody who had a rose or like a vibrator they held dear to them and they pissed me off. I'd put it in the microwave and blow up their house.

[Inya]

I'll boil it.

[Drew Phillips]

No, boil it. Would, like, clean it, but I guess, yeah, it would break the vibrator in it.

[Inya]

Internal.

[Drew Phillips]

Isn't it crazy that a vibrating, like, contraption is really just something actually, like, shaking?

[Inya]

It's just like a motor. Like, you remember those little motor bugs that you could buy as a kid that, like, look like toothbrush. Toothbrush heads. That's what's inside every vibrator and no one's talking about it.

[Drew Phillips]

Imagine if one day we run out of lithium batteries and then our vibrators have to be gas powered and you have to, like. You know, the way you start the Kim Kardashian.

[Inya]

The photos of Kim Kardashian as a picture.

[Drew Phillips]

You have to start a lawnmower. It's Kim Kardashian in her pilgrim dress starting up her vibrator.

[Inya]

Well, guys, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Really excited about that.

[Drew Phillips]

That was the best night of my life, watching.

[Inya]

I just love the Super Bowl.

[Drew Phillips]

I really do wish if I could change anything about last night, I would have changed it that we watched the halftime show in Nordstrom. I really wanted that for some reason.

[Inya]

Yeah. Because all the. Everyone was gathered around the three TVs. Like, it was really. It was honestly was so cute. And then I saw a video on someone that was on an airplane and.

[Drew Phillips]

A bunch of people were watching it.

[Inya]

Everyone had, like, Rihanna playing on the halftime show on the TVs on the airplane. And I was like, damn. Like, this is cute. Like, the super bowl is cute. I'm the first person to say the super bowl is cute. But, like, it's cute. Like, inhuman and very wholesome vibes.

[Drew Phillips]

It's like, it's like the World Cup.

[Inya]

Any big sports event is like, world Cup, World Cup.

[Drew Phillips]

Okay. But yeah, it's like that. It's exactly like that. It's like you singing that song, but it's just everybody finding one thing to finally agree on. But then there's a disagreement, and then people setting their cars on fire because they're mad that their team didn't win.

[Inya]

Dude, people set their cars on fire because their team won. Football fans are fucking batshit crazy. It's disgusting. I would never associate with a vile group like that.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, my God. You literally just said that. It was sweet and, like, cute. Like, what's wrong with you? I guess it's like the duality of man. You could just see both sides.

[Inya]

But I'm also schizophrenic. Been. Has been.

[Drew Phillips]

You are a. Has been low key.

[Inya]

Yeah, I'm in my flop arc.

[Drew Phillips]

You say that every three weeks. Like, every three weeks, you're like, I'm in my flop arc. And then when we're outside and. And one single person is like, oh, my God. I like, love the podcast. You're like, oh, my God, I'm back.

[Inya]

You're like, I'm back. That's what I needed. I needed that.

[Drew Phillips]

It's because you isolate for like a week straight and then you go outside and you get like immediate validation.

[Inya]

You're like, it's cuz I get sun. It's literally because I get vitamin D. Huh? Oh, my God. See? See what I deal with? I just can't even name a main staple vitamin. I don't know. Is it. Is it a vitamin? Yeah, Vitamin D. Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

I mean, it's called vitamin D. Does.

[Inya]

Your body make vitamins? Like, if you're getting vitamin D from the sun, how the are you getting vitamin D in your body?

[Josiah]

I think so. I think your body makes it when your skin hits the sun.

[Inya]

But.

[Drew Phillips]

But it needs, like, outside things to make it. It's like, oh. It's like how people can be, like, become iron deficient if they are lacking, like, certain meats in there.

[Inya]

Something is not adding up there. Something is not adding.

[Josiah]

I'm lacking a meat, A certain meat in my diet.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Josiah]

I just pointed at Drew's dick. For those that couldn't see.

[Inya]

For the listeners.

[Josiah]

Yeah. Sorry.

[Inya]

So I'm done vaping. I haven't vap.

[Drew Phillips]

No, you're not.

[Inya]

45 seconds.

[Drew Phillips]

Juror will never end. It will never end. And that's okay. Like, you'll just be the old man with a fruity tube in your mouth.

[Inya]

I freak. A fruity tube. Now you need to chill right now. Fruit right now.

[Drew Phillips]

Like a fruit flavored, like, puffing. Sucking too. You gotta suck it and it's fruity.

[Inya]

Oh. Oh, wow.

[Josiah]

Your ass.

[Inya]

This is crazy. No, this is crazy. I was only. I wasn't prepared for this. I don't know if they made it. I'm really scared actually right now.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, what if when you're old, they make ventilators taste like Diet Coke or Coke? Cherry Coke.

[Inya]

Wouldn't that be cherry vanilla Coke?

[Drew Phillips]

If you're oxygen, why don't they do that? Why don't they flavor your oxygen, at.

[Inya]

Least make you have fun with it? They tried. They had the flavor bars at the mall, the flavored oxygen bars at the mall that no one didn't they would literally put those tubes in your nose and around your ears like you were a terminally ill patient and you just sit in the mall sucking up like, grape flavored oxygen. And it was like, literally the craziest scam I've ever seen in my entire life. But no. Back to the vape conversation. My mom begged me, literally begged me to stop vaping for her birthday. So I have until June 14th. And I will. I will hold it down. I will hold it down.

[Drew Phillips]

This is like you getting a car. It's like the same main. It's like, I need a car. And then you just stay home for five days and then you're like, I really need to go here.

[Inya]

I always knew I was that guy that was like, oh, I'm going to do this. Like, I'm going to. I'm going to get that car. I'm going to go there, I'm going to do this, this, and then never do it. And then say it the next day and be like, yeah, I'm going to do that. I'm going to take care of it. But it did not hit me until Elisa, when I was like, I think I'm gonna get a car finally. And Elisa was like, you're not getting a fucking car. You've been saying that for four years.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, when I say it just comes off as too, like, sibling, like, being annoying. But someone like Elisa who, like, we see often, but not often enough, that.

[Inya]

Like, she hears how much you say just a contrarian.

[Drew Phillips]

You're just. Yeah, you are like, devil's advocate kind of guy.

[Inya]

Yeah, I'm like a walking hypothetical.

[Drew Phillips]

I'm a walking paradox.

[Inya]

I'm a walking paradox. Threesomes with a triceratops.

[Drew Phillips]

Damn. That's just a crazy, like, what?

[Inya]

But, yeah, I'm gonna stop vaping. And the reason why I want to stop vaping is because two nights ago I was laying in bed and my lungs hurt so bad and I was like, literally fearful for my life. I was like, what is going on?

[Drew Phillips]

This is also what happens to every three days when you have, like, buffalo wings at midnight. And then it's like.

[Inya]

And then I was laying there and I was like, oh, my God. I'm, like, really, like, congested. I was like. It was like, clearing my throat and I tasted like, the vape in my, like, phlegm.

[Drew Phillips]

So you tasted lychee mango iced tea?

[Inya]

Yeah, it was. It was crazy. And I was like, oh, something is seriously wrong. I'm getting pneumonia. And it's just all of the fucking oil collecting in my lungs. Because where does that shit go? Literally, where does it go? Like, I'm expelling the oil, but, like, some of that shit is coating my lungs and, like, my body is not getting rid of that shit fast enough. But.

[Drew Phillips]

Well, think about this. There's people who used to, like, manually operate oil rigs, and they didn't die people deaths. Oh, okay then, yeah, you're good.

[Inya]

Oil money is a real thing in Texas. It's really big. If you could get an oil job at an oil rig in Texas, you were like, loaded. You were rich. If you went out west, it was. It was like $152,000 a year.

[Drew Phillips]

You're fine. Except you're not getting paid to do that. You're paying.

[Inya]

And then if they found oil on the land you owned, they would put up an oil rig and you would clean up because they would have to pay you to set that shit up and have people coming in and out. And they would have to pay you for the oil because it's on your property. So it was crazy.

[Drew Phillips]

And you didn't get in on that. I thought you were like, an entrepreneur and like a business.

[Inya]

Oh, I did. The people don't know anything about me. Like, that's the thing. They don't know that I'm a mogul.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, that you. That you have oil money.

[Inya]

Yeah, that I'm a mogul.

[Drew Phillips]

People don't seem to realize that a mogul is in the room right now.

[Inya]

Is the mogul in the room with us?

[Drew Phillips]

Well, yeah. You won't get a car. You won't stop vaping, and I won't.

[Inya]

Stop sending unsolicited dick pics. I don't give a fuck. There's nothing you can do to make me stop. There's nothing you can.

[Drew Phillips]

No, I can file, like, charges and I guess they wouldn't take your iPhone.

[Inya]

That's not gonna stop me. No, I was thinking about unsolicited dick pics and like, don't get me wrong, that is vile behavior. Scary, vile, disgusting behavior. But also, like, it's kind of funny that, like, the dude is, like, doing that. Like.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, I will say that anytime. I've, like, gone through dms and that's sitting there. It is actually. It' comical because usually they say something with it and it's like, okay, so you are in the right state of mind that you can type out a sentence. So why is that picture there?

[Inya]

It's like, oh, my God, you're so beautiful. Dick pic with, like, the dripping emoji which is fucking nasty. We like go through India's DM sometimes and just like screenplay it will laugh at the dick pics. What's crazy is that I don't get sent dick pics. Dick pics. I don't get contributes and I don't get dick pics.

[Drew Phillips]

I've probably never gotten a dick pic.

[Inya]

I've gotten one on Twitter before.

[Drew Phillips]

Okay.

[Inya]

But I don't get them like, regularly, which is like.

[Drew Phillips]

You want them regularly.

[Inya]

No, I don't want a dick pic. Don't send me dick pics to my dms. Like.

[Drew Phillips]

In like two years it's gonna be brought back up. If we were gonna be like, remember when Drew Phillips was asking for dick pics? Like, what was that about? We are joking. Guys, guys, if you look, this is a comedy podcast.

[Inya]

If you read between the lines.

[Drew Phillips]

I knew you were going to do that.

[Inya]

Fuck you.

[Drew Phillips]

Well, should we talk about how I got attacked the other night?

[Inya]

Yeah, yeah, I think we should.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. It wasn't even that serious. It just actually, it was crazy. But this is just being a woman. I've decided that being a woman is literally just being attacked by random men, whether it's physically or verbally. Like when we were at the vintage thing, that man who like made that weird ass comment to me.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh. We were at this like vintage convention thing and a guy was talking to his friends, also dressed like the 1930s because it was an Americana, like, vintage thing.

[Inya]

Get a life. I mean, so you're.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, you're already leading a funny life. But the joke that came along with it, I was like, chill.

[Inya]

Calling someone's life funny, like leading a funny life is crazy.

[Drew Phillips]

Your abnormal life. But I was walking into this booth and one of the guys talking went like this and almost smacked the out of me. And I literally had to dodge it. I was like, oh, my God. And then he was like, oh, I'm sorry. And then actually, I don't even think he said, I'm sorry. He was like, oh, my God. Didn't sue you there. Like he said some 1930s hing a dinga durg and like that, like, m' lady didn't see you there.

[Inya]

If I was there, I wouldn't have let any of this happen. By the way.

[Drew Phillips]

How would you have stopped that?

[Inya]

I don't know. I would have found a way. I'm basically Ant Man.

[Drew Phillips]

I've never seen that movie, so I don't know what that means.

[Inya]

He can like make himself little and big and control ants.

[Drew Phillips]

Actually, he only controls to do with Being able to, like, stop him from almost hitting me.

[Inya]

Because ants are really strong, so they can tow trucks. I watched a video when I was a kid. Like, it was in, like, like kindergarten or first grade or something. And it was talking about how, like, ants, like, if they were the size of humans, they could, like, tow, like, a jet engine or something like that. A jet plane.

[Drew Phillips]

Okay.

[Inya]

My body weight percentage, actually, I need to look that up. Facts. Checking myself that I fact check myself. Okay.

[Drew Phillips]

Anyway, he almost hit me. And then his friends start, like, giggling. And then one of them go, what did we tell you about hitting women? And they all laughed.

[Inya]

So fucking dressed like that. Like, dressed like being a white man.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. I'm like, you, that's not a joke. Don't say that. And then they just ignored me for the rest of the time in the booth. And then I left very quickly because I got really scared. Like, I fake looked at the clothes, but then I left because I was like.

[Inya]

And then.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, literally that night. So this was in a day. That night I went to this event thing with some friends, and I got introduced to somebody.

[Inya]

This guy was also at the clothing convention, ironically enough.

[Drew Phillips]

Was he?

[Inya]

That's what you said.

[Drew Phillips]

No, no, no. He was at.

[Inya]

He was at the Rose bowl the next day.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, we saw him at Rose bowl the next day. He was in the same outfit. The guy who did what I'm about to say, not the guy who almost hit me, but that same night. So it's Saturday night, I go to an event, whatever. I'm introduced to this guy, and he's, like, already drunk, and they're serving drinks at this event, but he's, like, drunk. And then later on, I found out he, like, got there with his wife from, like, a date night they were having. So, like, I think they just got drunk and they're like, yeah, let's, like, go to that event. It's close, whatever. And I was, like, sitting there like this talking to my friends, and I was pretty cold. So I also feel like I just stand like this usually. Like, I'm always with, like, my arms crossed. It's just, like a comfortable thing. And I was cold, so I was just like, doing this. And then he looks at me. He's like, oh, first when he said hi to me, he grabbed me and was like, called me baby. And I was like, he, like, called me baby. And I was like, ill, dude. And I just, like, backed up again. Obviously, I didn't say anything. I was just like, thank you.

[Inya]

Like, you have to do protectors, literally.

[Drew Phillips]

Please leave me alone. And then he was like, oh, why the negative energy? This is. I like this. I like this negative energy. You have such a negative energy. I was like, oh, I'm just so.

[Inya]

Just.

[Drew Phillips]

I'm just cold. And he was, like, drunk and talking over me. So I basically, like, me talking was pointless. He was like, come here. And we were like, basically around this corner, and it was on the street at this event where. And around the corner, there was, like, a floodlight pointing down on the other side of the corner. And then he proceeds to grab me. My arms are still crossed. And he grabs my arms, grabs me by the arms and starts moving me, moving my body. And I'm just like, kind of, like, fumbling around because he's drunkenly moving me around. And. And I'm like, what the fuck? And my friend group is just watching, like, what the fuck is happening? And kind of following to see, like, what is this guy doing? And he grabbed me and, like, pushes me up against the wall where there's light on me. And, like, he pushed me too hard, and my head hit the wall, and I was just standing there like this still. And then he was like, I just want to get. Look at you. Like, like, uncle.

[Inya]

He smelled like beer.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. And I was just like. And then all my friends came, and they were like, okay. And they, like, kind of separated it, and, like, we're talking to him, and then one of my friends grabbed him and, like, kind of did the same thing, but, like, there wasn't really much you could do because it was like, this a public event, and this guy's just obviously, like, too drunk to function. But I almost cried and I wanted to. I almost had a. I almost had a pecking panic attack, and I was so freaked out. And then I ran inside and went and grabbed an alcoholic beverage to calm my nerves.

[Inya]

I literally did not. That was my.

[Drew Phillips]

I need a beer. I need a fucking beer.

[Inya]

I need a fucking beer. A long day of being a woman. I need a fucking beer.

[Drew Phillips]

I know. Just another day in the life. And then I saw him at the Rose bowl, and I was literally petrified. He was wearing the same thing, so I'm like, damn, nasty.

[Josiah]

I feel like that's the same strain of guy as the unsolicited dick pic.

[Inya]

Oh, yeah, 100%.

[Drew Phillips]

He fully gets drunk in his eyes. Funny.

[Inya]

100%.

[Drew Phillips]

Or maybe he does it sober, but yeah. And that was not a lot.

[Inya]

Well, while you were being attacked, I was at home alone, and our neighbors downstairs were having a party, and I didn't know this at the time. And I heard, like, like, screaming from my room. And they were on the opposite side of the house. And I heard, like, screaming and yelling and, like, celebrating and laughter and having fun. But from my room, it sounded like it was coming from, like, the streets, like, outside. And I was like, why is everybody outside screaming? Like, what are they running from? What is going on? And I started, like, literally freaking out. And never in my life have I been like, I'm afraid to die alone. But in this moment, I got so emotional because I was, like. I was literally convinced, like, the. Like, the aliens were here. Like, the apocalypse was happening. And, like, people were running from zombies or aliens, like, or some. And I. In this moment, I was like, oh, my God, I'm gonna die alone. And, like, my family's back in Texas. Like, Enya's out with her friends. Like, everyone is with their family or with their friends, and I am literally alone, and I'm gonna die alone. And I was, like, literally, like, tearing up at the thought. And I was literally, like, panicking about this. And then I walked into the house because I was like, what is going on? Where is this sound coming from? And I, like, walked. Are we good?

[Josiah]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

You know what it is? The sound of joy is just so alien to you.

[Inya]

Yeah, I'm just not a happy person. I'm scared of being happy. You don't want to see me when I'm happy.

[Drew Phillips]

Seriously?

[Inya]

Seriously. But I walked into the living room and heard them singing Happy Birthday, and.

[Drew Phillips]

I was like, oh, oh, oh.

[Inya]

So the aliens. The aliens aren't here after all. I had to recorrect my TikTok feed. This morning I woke up And I opened TikTok immediately because I am addicted to looking at a black screen on my phone, and I cannot control myself. I was. I was watching Tiktoks in bed, and all of them were like, the world is ending. Aliens are coming. We've shut down this nuclear red dawn. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, all this. The war is on our turf now. Like. And I was just like, no, I'm not dealing with this. I'm literally not dealing with this. So I just went, not interested, not interested, not interested, not interested.

[Drew Phillips]

I love a good not interested.

[Inya]

And I got my feed right back.

[Drew Phillips]

I use the. The out of that. If you come onto my timeline and you are singing, you are gone. Yeah, you are gone. Why are you singing?

[Inya]

Actually, that's interesting. I literally don't think I've ever gotten, like, someone just singing on my feed.

[Drew Phillips]

I've gotten people like.

[Inya]

Like a cover every now and then.

[Drew Phillips]

I think what it is, is Tik Tok is like, you like this song so much, and you like people so much. What if we made people sing the song and you saw it? Like, you saw that?

[Inya]

And then I'm like a ukulele cover of Ice Spice. There's a drone outside, y' all. They're watching us.

[Drew Phillips]

Welcome to Drew Psyop Corner.

[Inya]

That's what we need to talk about. Why India's gone because she won't let us talk about it.

[Josiah]

We're rolling.

[Inya]

There's a lot of psyops going on right now. Pay attention. Don't be fooled. They're putting UFOs in the sky because the debt ceiling. The UFOs, they're not real. I hope they're real. I wish they were real. I want them to be real so bad. And if they are real, I'll eat my words. But it's all psychological operations. Don't fall for it. Listen to this. Don't ask me why I cheated. Ask God why he brought me in your life to hurt you. Bae. Think my pupils dilated because I love her, but I really was just tweaking off the Molly. I really don't believe men should have a sweet tooth. That's for women and kids. Seeing a grown man leaving the gas station with a fistful of little cookies and candies and shaking and just shaking my damn head as I raise the gas nozzle back up to my lips. When we got a we, a part of me thought it would save my family. Eating food. Eating food from Starbucks. Be like, wow, that 3D printed sandwich was so good. The grainy eggs are delicious. AF count your benzos. Doesn't it look like there's less than you remember? Someone fucking stole your bars. Call everyone you know and scream at them until someone confesses. They stole your bars. They stole your Xanax.

[Drew Phillips]

All right, we're back. Sorry, I had to take a doo doo break. I think something I ate the past few days gave me diarrhea. Because I've had diarrhea for, like, three days. Yeah, Right. It doesn't.

[Inya]

No, it smells good.

[Drew Phillips]

It's. But why that face? You know what I was.

[Inya]

It's like when you're listening to a good song, you're like, nice.

[Drew Phillips]

You sniff your songs.

[Inya]

No, no. Like, when you're listening to a song you like. Mean mug. You're like, this is hard. That your fart was hard is what I'm saying.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, okay. Well, I wish it Was hard.

[Inya]

It was hard bodied.

[Drew Phillips]

What I was thinking in the bathroom is they need to stop giving out real roses at the Bachelor and give out the rose. The rose vibrator. Like, why has that not happened yet? You know, at the end when they're like, he's deciding or she's deciding, like, who she's gonna like, why don't they give out the vibrating rose?

[Inya]

Wow. That's actually really powerful.

[Drew Phillips]

Exactly. And has anybody given a girl like, 12 vibrators but, like, a flower, Like a bouquet. Like a rose bouquet. But it's just 12 of the vibrators.

[Inya]

I'm sure Kai' done that before.

[Josiah]

I've done that. Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

You can't afford a rose vibrator, though.

[Inya]

So it's like, okay. Likes, let alone.

[Josiah]

I took out a loan. I gotta. I got a cash.

[Drew Phillips]

You got a loan for your vibrators? Well, you literally would need. There's.

[Inya]

Think about this. So I always thought the reason why the plants in the bathroom thrived was because they were being watered by, like, the humidity from the shower. And it's from the doo doo flakes being fertilizer. Yeah. Yes.

[Drew Phillips]

I wonder. There needs to be science backing to that. I need to read that because, like, that would change my whole vibe. Because we are two people who like hanging out in the bathroom.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Maybe that's why we like it, though, because it's fertilizing us too.

[Inya]

I literally. It is so bad. I will spin. I will just sit in the bathroom doing nothing but sitting on my phone.

[Drew Phillips]

It's such a good space.

[Inya]

Yeah. Like, so small and nice and comfortable. The. The lighting in there.

[Drew Phillips]

The tiles. Yeah, the. The. The lelo. The lelo vibe.

[Inya]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And I also think, like, I don't know. I think it's like, the towels or something. Recently, it's just been hitting, like, really good.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. I think it's because we also have really nice towel sets in there, so it feels like a proper bathroom. Like, we have everything in there to make it a proper bathroom, except the fact that our door on our vanity. Because this house was made 100 years ago. The. The vanity, like, mirror literally just fell onto me. And we can insert that photo because I was doing my makeup and I went to open it, and it just fell.

[Inya]

It crumbled it literally. The metal hinges melted from, like, the air.

[Drew Phillips]

From the. The doo doo air.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

But yeah, also, like, the Bachelor is so weird. Like, shows like that are so weird. And honestly, you were bigger than me going on a show like that. I would be so Pissed to see somebody. I'm even slightly interested in going on dates with other girls. I would freak the out.

[Inya]

It's not real. None of it's.

[Drew Phillips]

No, they find love. They do, they do. And they get married for like two years.

[Inya]

I don't. I'm like, is. Is it. It has to be like a little real if like these couples are staying together for like a couple years. But isn't it like in their contract that if they break up, they don't get the money?

[Drew Phillips]

I actually don't know.

[Inya]

We need a. We need. We need to dig deep connoisseur of the show to talk about.

[Drew Phillips]

I feel like Josh would know.

[Inya]

Josh loves the bachelor Orion.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah.

[Inya]

But they refuse to be on our podcast.

[Drew Phillips]

Okay. Oh my God. I had work due today. Oh, also remember when I was like, I don't trust the batteries in cars. Well, this girl posted a tick tock that she felt that way about battery bikes. At least that's why I gathered she was talking about. Because she was like, oh, I like I kept telling my landlord that like she had a neighbor who was like a hoarder, which is also like a fire hazard. But they were like obsessed with bringing bikes into the house. But like electric bikes. And she kept saying electric chair.

[Inya]

And I Electric chair.

[Drew Phillips]

What is that like?

[Inya]

I'm just trying to get some. I gotta be real.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh my God. That's not the way you do it.

[Inya]

I thought that's like what you would like.

[Drew Phillips]

I can't believe. What was it?

[Inya]

It was like, I can't believe I'm doing this for some pussy.

[Drew Phillips]

It's like.

[Inya]

And I electric chair.

[Drew Phillips]

But she kept saying that like oh, she kept saying it was a fire hazard. All the neighbors were saying it's a fire hazard. And they would bring these bikes with batteries into it. And then a. A fire started in the apartment complex and the whole floor that that was on burn down. Because I think one of the batteries of the bike we can explode.

[Inya]

It freaking glittied on them.

[Drew Phillips]

So the Teslas are going to gritty all over our lives and explode.

[Inya]

The Tesla's are going to gritty all over us.

[Drew Phillips]

You know how to gritty?

[Inya]

Yeah, I know how to gritty.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh my God. No, I didn't say to. Oh my God.

[Josiah]

Okay, wait, let me find.

[Drew Phillips]

I mean there's.

[Inya]

It's not gonna get it good enough.

[Josiah]

Okay, go.

[Inya]

Whoa, wait. No. I had to get the rhythm.

[Josiah]

Nope, still going.

[Inya]

I'm being dead serious, dude. That was kind of good that last one.

[Drew Phillips]

You're just kind of Hopping around.

[Inya]

Like, I don't know what a gritty is. I genuinely don't know.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, I don't have the emote, so I don't see it often enough to know.

[Inya]

I need to watch a how to gritty YouTube tutorial.

[Drew Phillips]

Except I love the. The video. The two kids grittying and they're like, racing, you know, so cute in the backyard. Yeah, they're like girls.

[Inya]

Like, it's like a co ed party.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, it's super cute. All right, well.

[Josiah]

I looked up how to do the default dance.

[Inya]

Oh, yeah.

[Josiah]

And I just, like, I was, like, standing in my room doing it.

[Drew Phillips]

The, like the. The Fortnite. Josiah's really good at it.

[Josiah]

I spent, like, I don't know, 15 minutes trying to learn, and then I got an email from, like, my health insurance, and it was like, you have to go to the doctor. And I was just like, oh, I'm.

[Inya]

Like 28, like, and I'm default dancing in my bedroom.

[Josiah]

Close the browser.

[Inya]

That is upstairs neighbor activity.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, yeah, like, just stomping around. Like, some of us have to wake up in the morning, go to sleep.

[Inya]

Is that loud for y' all?

[Drew Phillips]

No, I think I have a louder one.

[Inya]

Yours is loud.

[Drew Phillips]

Somebody said that if you. Somebody said there was a tick tock of this girl being like. If you want to hear your, like, your voice, how it is. Because when you're hearing your voice, you're usually hearing it bounce off of things. If you want to hear it for real, go like this and you can hear exactly how you sound.

[Inya]

Hello. I am listening to my voice for real this time. Wait, no. How. How does this work? Do you cover your ears or do.

[Drew Phillips]

You know, you go like this? Or. Oh, I guess. I don't know. She went like this. And it's like, you're not hearing it bounce from here to here. You're hearing it like. Actually, I don't know how this works.

[Inya]

Bounce off the back because there's no.

[Drew Phillips]

Way you're covering it.

[Inya]

I think if you cover your ears and, like, plug it up your head.

[Drew Phillips]

Voice, that's not how you sound. There's no way of knowing how you sound because there's no way of knowing that you're real.

[Inya]

That's the thing, is we are simply the universe experiencing itself. If you think about it, what does that mean?

[Drew Phillips]

I saw somebody say that we need to, like, go off into the woods and take mushrooms and, like, shut the up. Because they were like. All they do is get, like, in, like, existential period.

[Inya]

We're just too existential yeah, no, it's too.

[Drew Phillips]

But that's always been how we were. There was just never long formats where you could question it. There was only us doing satirical bits on YouTube where we were acting like somebody and making fun of a trend or something. Because we are existential and we question why these things are trends and they're confusing and scary and, like, silly to us. And we make a joke of it when really we've been hiding behind jokes for our whole life. Because in reality, we are terrified of our own existence and what we're going to leave behind and if we're going to get to leave anything behind. And what does that even mean? Because I won't be here to see what those things I leave behind turn into. So it's not necessarily important. And I should just be enjoying my days moment by moment. But I'm so stuck up on what I think I need to do before my life ends. But how do you even know when your life ends? Because there is no knowing that.

[Inya]

That was so core.

[Drew Phillips]

You're so cor. Co.

[Inya]

I've been getting into Hope core recently.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, I've seen a lot of hope core.

[Inya]

I love Hope Core.

[Drew Phillips]

My way. What is her. All I can think is when Christian performed that whole song and it was so lit.

[Inya]

That was so fire. That's like Christian's Go to karaoke song. And then his show in la, he performed the entire thing and he was like, y' all have to sing along or it's not gonna work. Like, you'll all have to get down with this.

[Drew Phillips]

But most people, I don't think news the lyrics. It was like his 10 friends who have seen him perform it so much.

[Inya]

So now we know the lyrics from the. Yeah, we were in the vip.

[Drew Phillips]

We were in the banister. Yeah, we were in the blue banisters.

[Inya]

What is. What was Lana saying or Josiah saying? Lana was saying, my body is a map of la. But we truly are the universe experiencing itself.

[Drew Phillips]

I don't know necessarily what that means.

[Inya]

It's like we're made of stardust. And we are all the chemicals and gases, all created from the universe and its infinite expanses. And we're just that in one being. And we're using that energy to observe itself, to observe ourselves.

[Drew Phillips]

Do you think God would be mad that we're using his energy to do this?

[Inya]

To jerk off? No. As intended. Also, everything happens for a reason.

[Drew Phillips]

Well, I saw a Zool in the window the other day when we got home, and it literally freaked me out because I was looking at Her. I was like, dude, when we leave the house, she's still here. Like, when you leave the house, your pet is still at home, existing. They don't just disappear into thin air when you're out and you don't even. They don't cross your mind. They are still somewhere in your house, just sitting around, thinking nothing, just moving around. Just, like, need water, need food. Ooh, thing. I'm going to hunt that thing. Yeah, I'm going to play with that thing. This isn't real. I'm moving on.

[Inya]

Azul has been hanging out in my room a lot more recently because there is a female cat screaming in heat right outside my window all day, every day.

[Drew Phillips]

I keep thinking it's a real baby or something. And then I get up and look through all my windows because I swear there's going to be, like, an infant on the fucking road. Like it's a 1920s film and I'm going to take in a baby while it's raining and raise it as my own.

[Inya]

Yeah, but Azul, yeah, he's been, like, trying to get some snatch, bro.

[Drew Phillips]

No, Azul isn't like that. Azul wouldn't just, like, use somebody for their body. Azul wants to get to know somebody before, like, he has sex. That's like just the kind of cat my cat is.

[Inya]

Yeah, yeah, I'll give him that. I'll give him that.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, the thing is, is what if, like, he actually had to be in a room with another cat? He is the most useless cat ever.

[Inya]

He would suck balls.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. When I got my other cat, who's dead, by the way. I have a dead cat. Like, yeah, I had a cat for like a year and then it up fucked. Died.

[Inya]

Nine months, actually.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, like, not even a year.

[Inya]

But neglected her.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. Honestly, like, feeding two cats was too much work. Like, it was just so bad. Actually. She had cat Covid and died.

[Inya]

Literally. I. I cannot believe that happened. And it felt like you had her for so long. It felt like you had her for three years. But she was only around for such a short amount of time.

[Drew Phillips]

Felt like I had her for so long because I never had to take a cat to the vet and the doctor that much.

[Inya]

It was. It was a lot.

[Drew Phillips]

Like she needed so much attention because she was just. She was literally withering away. It was actually so devastating. It was really sad. But she was, like, actually the nicest cat ever. Oh, I found. I'm gonna insert this picture. I found a picture of you holding her out.

[Inya]

Like, oh, when she was.

[Drew Phillips]

When she was like, she was a really long cat, but we never got to see her get old because she died and perished. She literally perished.

[Inya]

Stop saying withered. In Paris, She. She.

[Drew Phillips]

Did she pair. She's in a box in my room right now.

[Inya]

She was such a sweet little girl that, like, we had beef. Me and her had beef. And I'll admit that I'm grown enough to admit that we had beef in our lifetime.

[Drew Phillips]

But you miss her now.

[Inya]

I do. I really do miss her presence. It was weird without her. But to clarify things, she was basically born with a neurological disorder.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, she was born with, like. No. So basically, she got an infection, and then she got cat, Covid, and only five. Like, it's normal for cats to get a Covid strain, but only 5 to, like. I think it's like 2 to 5% usually fucking die from it. But because she was untreated, she got, like, a viral infection, and, like, it killed her kidneys and her lungs, and then she couldn't grow hair anymore, so she just started losing her hair and she couldn't eat. And also, when she was a baby, she had an ear infection from being sick. So she walked with a tilt. So she would, like, jump around, but she.

[Inya]

With her little head.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, she would, like, walk with a tilt.

[Inya]

It's like Wiley from Coraline.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. If she walked too far, she would just almost start bending. Like, she would start going in a circle if you just, like, let her. Because she. And her. Her tail was, like, crushed when she was a baby. So her tail had a really bad bend in it, literally so up. And you know what's crazy is when I first went to get her, like, I literally. Do you remember how bad that was? I had so much anxiety. My gut feeling doesn't lie, but I'm so happy I got her because she was awesome. But when I went to get her, it was, like, during. It was during COVID and I was just like, dude, this is, like, the perfect time to get another cat, because I've been wanting a second cat, but I just, like, would travel so much laughing so much at birth because it's funny. I was like, oh, I just need another cat. Because now's the perfect time because I could get close. I'm going to be home for so long. Whatever. We, like, go out of the way to go. I drive an hour away to go get this cat. Then I have a panic attack because I'm so scared of COVID and I'm like, maybe this is, like, a rash decision. I shouldn't be getting another Cat, I'm not going to go. And then I was convinced to go back because it was like, dude, you want another cat? And I was like, that is true. I want this cat. It's so cute.

[Inya]

You've been talking about it for a.

[Drew Phillips]

While, and I'm, like, going to go get this cat. We drove back out and then we got there, and literally I got into the house she was being fostered at, and she was so paranoid, and, like, she was so freaked out by seeing another human. And when I got in the house, she, like, ran into a wall, hit it, and then backed up. Like, literally, like, went backwards really fast, hit the stairs, and then tried to run up the stairs. And it was wood stairs, so she slipped down the stairs, hit the floor, and then ran away into a corner. And the foster mom was like, like, oh, she does. She's a little scared. And I was like, literally standing in this stranger's house with, like, three masks on and gloves. And I was like, I should not be in here. Like, this is so bad. And then I just was too scared to be like, actually, no, I don't want that. So I took her and, like, she was dead silent on the hour and a half ride home. And I thought she was dead in the carrier in the backseat. And I was like, this is just my cat now. And she was just so weird. And then I put her in the room to, like, so that Azul could smell her through the door. And she just kept pissing in the bed, in the cat bed. She wouldn't piss in the litter box. And she was, like, old enough that she knew what a litter box was, and she, like, peed in it and then got under it. So she was covered in pee and, like, did. It was literally so crazy. But then she was a really good girl, and she would lay in my lap.

[Inya]

She was a lap cat. She was such a sweet little girl. And, yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

And then she died. And then she was normal for, like, three months and gaining weight. And then she started getting really skinny.

[Inya]

I was like, it turned so fast. It was crazy. It wasn't like it happened without warning. Like, it was so weird. Like, one day she was, like, good, and then the next day her head tilt got really bad. And then it was just downhill over, like, a month. And then eventually she had to get put down.

[Drew Phillips]

It was so sad. That was literally the worst experience ever. But I'm happy it happened while I was here.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Because I was. My biggest fear was like, dude, like, if I'm traveling and this happens, I'll be so pissed.

[Inya]

Like that would be the worst that we were with her when she was.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, yeah, she was in my bed. It was so sad. She pissed all over my bed.

[Inya]

No, I mean when she got put down. Yeah, that was crazy.

[Drew Phillips]

We had to talk to her. We had to hold her.

[Inya]

Even girl, even like beyond like, like her being a cat, like, dude, that was, that was really dark. That like me up for a little bit. Like seeing her get put down and just like literally the life like leaving her eyes. It was like so. Dude.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. Having to put like an animal down because they literally are just like passing away is so sad because it's like, well, I don't want this cat to suffer because, okay, this is my hot take. I think like when cats are like. I mean, her kidneys were literally failing. It was like, yeah, you could get a three thousand dollar surgery done on this three pound animal that won't eat and can't move and there's a chance it won't work, but. And she would have to take meds 18 times a day. Or you could put her down and like save her suffering. It's like, yeah, I'm gonna like.

[Inya]

Yeah. Because she was in so much pain.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, it was really sad. But she's like the cutest girl ever. She was literally the cutest cat ever. Like she was so. And she had like a little. Her teeth would like hang over her mouth. So she would have like a little tooth hanging out when she would be asleep. And she was like a fun cat. Azula is like so slay and cute, but Azul's annoying and like she doesn't like lay on you. You have to trick Azul into laying on you.

[Inya]

You have to open a can of food and put it like on your lap.

[Drew Phillips]

You have to literally grab her and she like is tense for like two minutes and then you have to pet her until she's like, okay, like I'm not gonna be killed by this person.

[Inya]

He turns as hard as a rock when you touch him. It's crazy. Azul, like if you touch his back, he literally like flexes every single muscle in his body, like in a way that I did not know is possible.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, that's a cat that's like terrified for its life at every waking moment. It is like perpetually terrified. Maybe we accidentally at one point left a shroom gummy around and his little ate a shroom gummy and she just knows about her. He's just sentient. And that's why that look in his eyes. Sometimes he Has a look in his eyes that I'm like, where are you, you.

[Inya]

What are you thinking?

[Drew Phillips]

What's in there? So I think he just knows that he's alive and that his time will come to an end very soon. He's an older cat now. Not an older cat. He's still a very. Like, in my head, he's a baby, but I freaked out the other day cuz I'm like, dude, Azul is like, almost six years old.

[Inya]

No, no.

[Drew Phillips]

Azul was born in the summer of 2018.

[Inya]

You got him when he was like four or five months. Six months.

[Drew Phillips]

Wait, he's. I guess. Yeah. At the end of this year, he'll be almost sick. Question mark. I'm confused.

[Inya]

Charlie is like, almost 10.

[Drew Phillips]

How long? I just need a cat to be like Azul to be in my life when I have a baby. But soon I'd be dead. Yeah, he's gonna be long gone. Oh, what am I supposed to do when she dies? That's so annoying. I think I'd get another cat immediately.

[Josiah]

Maybe you're pregnant right now. You never.

[Inya]

You never know.

[Drew Phillips]

Don't say that kind of to me. Don't wish evil upon me. What do you, like.

[Inya]

What did he call you now?

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, you think I look pregnant?

[Josiah]

No, I'm not saying that.

[Inya]

Wow.

[Josiah]

No, I'm not saying that. That's not what I was saying. That wasn't what I was saying. Well, but true. We're gonna, you know, that's.

[Inya]

We're gonna have a conversation about this after.

[Drew Phillips]

Funny how freely you feel to speak on a woman's.

[Inya]

No, leave it in, leave it in, leave it in.

[Josiah]

Yeah, I'm gonna cut it because you made it look like. No.

[Drew Phillips]

Wow.

[Josiah]

Are you. Are you gonna yell at me for that? What are you gonna do to me?

[Drew Phillips]

What the is that turning into?

[Inya]

I'm gonna spank you.

[Drew Phillips]

But, yeah, that got morbid. We just talked about my dead cat.

[Inya]

And I was cracking up the entire time, dude. It's like a defense mechanism, though. Like, when I, like, get. When I think about sad things, I literally cannot help it.

[Drew Phillips]

But it's too funny. Like, for some reason. It's literally like, like, like devastating things are, like, funny to me. Not because I find them funny, because it just, like, it literally just puts me in an existential spot where I'm like, why?

[Inya]

It's also why better to laugh?

[Drew Phillips]

Like, why laugh if.

[Inya]

Why cry when you can laugh? Like, because that, like, I laugh if you can cry. That was literally, like, one of the saddest things ever and like, I laughed my entire way through it and I actually feel euphoric now after talking about a dead animal. But no, genuinely though, like, I don't know. Oh my God. Like, just thinking about like my brother, like, all that, like, what. When it was all going down and.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, I know it's really insane. It's just such an out of body experience. It's like, whoa. I think especially as young people, it's super out of body because it's just like, you're like, well, I'm still a baby. Why is, why am I having to face such large motions of grief when my life is just beginning?

[Inya]

Like, it's also giving like my. The harshest reality, like the hardest part of grieving. And I remember like telling you this. The two, I was just in a really dark place. One, I was like, one, like, you truly are like all alone in this life. Like, no matter what way you spin it, like, you are yourself and that's it. And I don't think that's a bad thing. And then two, like, the hardest thing I was like grappling with was the fact that life just like kept going. Yeah, it just continued. Like, all of my brother's things were just like still in his house and he had like mail in the mailbox and like all this crazy and I was just like, like he still had mail coming to him. And I was just like, dude, what the. It was such a surreal and weird thing to grapple with. I just like, I still haven't. I've just chosen to. I chose to read Alan Watts and I was like, yep, I'm healed. I don't need to think about that.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, I like that. I remember that used to make me really angry also. Like, I was the kind of person that I didn't tell anybody when my mom died because that was like during my time in my life where I wasn't very open with anybody. So only like the person I was dating and like my family knew. And I was like just dead silent about it for like, literally. I was looking back. Actually. This reminds me of a TikTok I saw where it was like me explaining how I use my Finster from 2016 to 2019. I was like, I got married there, I got divorced there, I got got. I got to fights on that show. Like, it was like this woman, like talking like that. And I remember like two weeks later, maybe I was like, oh. Because people obviously just kept texting me like, nothing and like talking to me and getting upset that I wasn't saying Anything to them. And then I just made a random post on my footsteps. Like, by the way, my mom died. I don't want to talk about it. Like, done. I was like, you know, just shut up. Don't say anything to me. I don't want to talk about it with anybody. But that would make me really mad for a long time because I was like, this is so unfair. Everyone's life is just, like, continuing and moving on. My dad still has to go to work tomorrow. My mom still has to go to work tomorrow. Like, my stepmom has to go to work tomorrow. Like, people just. People are just continuing their life. Like, everything is just moving as if this devastating, huge thing didn't just happen to me. And then. Yeah, I agree with. Like, you're alone. Because as. But that. That's, like, a funny thing growing up to think about is, I remember that used to freak me out. Even with my siblings. I think about how different me and all my siblings are, and I'm just stunned because in my head, we had such similar experiences, but we really didn't. We were all living such separate lives, and, like, we were all our individual selves. And that was grieving, too. It was like all of us took different steps in grieving. Like, it's completely different. And then it's like, that almost makes it annoying because it's your fucking sibling. So already. Talking to your siblings sometimes can be actually the most frustrating thing in the world. But then when you're trying to have a deep conversation with them and it becomes a. Like, a competition. Like, I don't know how to describe it. Not that grieving is a competition, but.

[Inya]

Like, oh, for me.

[Drew Phillips]

Like, hats.

[Inya]

Oh, for me it is. Yeah. I'm the most sad.

[Drew Phillips]

But are you, though? Like, how could you prove it?

[Inya]

I'm the saddest in the room.

[Drew Phillips]

I'm the baddest in the room. What does he say?

[Inya]

Oh, what's the.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, the highest in the room?

[Inya]

The Alex G song. I've been thinking saying recently, when I.

[Drew Phillips]

Get sad, I get sad.

[Inya]

I get so mad Gonna marry you with the broken rib.

[Drew Phillips]

Keep going.

[Inya]

Cause I am T.R. and I am bad Sometimes I get mad in my room.

[Josiah]

That was awesome.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, we've been working on that.

[Inya]

That's like.

[Josiah]

You guys have been working on that.

[Inya]

Well, we're planning on going on a college.

[Josiah]

That was awesome.

[Inya]

We're planning on going on, like, a college tour.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah. And performing.

[Inya]

I'm performing that to inspire.

[Josiah]

Okay. But you guys have been working on that, and that's as good as it is right now. So I was like, it's good artistic.

[Drew Phillips]

It's funny. You know what's funny is, like, what's his job ever to talk?

[Inya]

It was. No, the thing is. The thing is.

[Drew Phillips]

The thing is.

[Inya]

The thing is art is subjective. Do you know that?

[Josiah]

Yeah, I know that.

[Drew Phillips]

Unless it's your art, then it's objectively bad.

[Josiah]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

Did that just rip or has that been ripped like that?

[Inya]

It's been hella ripped. This is, like, up.

[Drew Phillips]

Then it cost you $8 million in LA.

[Inya]

Sniff my arm.

[Drew Phillips]

That's what it looks like. It looks like you're doing, like, a chapless ass, but for your armpits.

[Inya]

It's kind of the. I've been on.

[Drew Phillips]

That's what you've been on?

[Inya]

Yeah, I've been ripping the armpits out of my shirts and sweaters.

[Drew Phillips]

Right, right.

[Inya]

Better circulation, better pheromone.

[Drew Phillips]

I know how to help circulate your blood if you need help doing that.

[Inya]

Me too. Fucking.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, my God.

[Inya]

Do not touch me.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh. He's saying. We were talking about the Beyonce concert and how we're like, okay, when we get our tickets, because we. I didn't get. We didn't get pre sale tickets. So now we're just staring at the prices and we're like, damn. Are we really just gonna have to, like. It's an experience.

[Inya]

I have. Like, we were talking about it last night and I was like, I have to be like, front row. Like, I simply.

[Drew Phillips]

There's no question about it.

[Inya]

I simply have to.

[Drew Phillips]

If you see 8 million ads for seatgeek, like, and share.

[Inya]

Yeah, no, I. I genuinely have to be like, front row. And I was talking about. And I was like, oh. Like, I need to, like, I need her to, like, bend down and reach out so we can touch her. And then I was like, no, no, I do not need to touch Beyonce. I really don't need to even be close to Beyonce. Like, it would ruin every. It would ruin. It would be like. It would be the same level of, like, life shifting as my brother died is if I touched Beyonce, like, it would be.

[Drew Phillips]

It would just be too confusing. It's like somebody who we've, like, watched and, like, like, not idolized because it's not like she, like, influenced our work, but she's literally, like, not a real figure. Like, she might as well be, like, one of the people on the quarter because I'm like, I know this is one of the most important people ever, but, like, they're not real to me. Does that make Sense, like, that's, like, how I feel about Beyonce is, like, in 100 years, she's gonna be, like, on some sort of, like, American, like, currency. And, like, older, like, young people are gonna be like, who is this? And then someone's gonna be like, that's like, that's.

[Inya]

We were also talking about. This is more.

[Drew Phillips]

That is a singer.

[Inya]

This is more in his thought. But, like, the new generation, like, the iPad babies, like, they're not gonna have a Beyonce. Like, the closest thing that we have to, like, the next Beyonce was. Who is.

[Drew Phillips]

Who was I saying? Doja Cat. Because Doja Cat goes, like, perform.

[Inya]

Who was the 1996 shirt music video?

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, Normani.

[Inya]

Normani is really.

[Drew Phillips]

I don't think Normani is, like, touring. Like, I. When I'm saying this, I mean, like, we have pop stars. Like, we have Dua Lip. Dua Lipa is huge. But, like, she's not, like, doing borderline backflips. I need somebody, like, falling from the sky and, like, flipping down and, like, a Lady Gaga. Like, Lady Gaga is, like, in that same vein where when you go to a Lady Gaga, like, concert, you're watching a performance. Like, she's, like, doing multiple outfit changes. She's, like, basically sliding across the floor.

[Inya]

Y.

[Drew Phillips]

But I just don't feel we.

[Josiah]

That Normani video is it for motivation, Motivation, motivation. That video is. I think I've watched the video, like, 15.

[Inya]

I just watched it for the first.

[Josiah]

So good.

[Inya]

Yeah. I was such a dancer. She's so fucking sick. We do this thing after anything, like, big happens, like, on tv, and, like, we're like, ooh, let's watch that performance. Like, we go down the rabbit hole, and it started with Rihanna, and then obviously, we had to. As one does, you go watch the Beyonce super bowl performance because it's crazy. And then you graduate from that to. You can either go down the left side and keep watching Beyonce and go to bay cheddar and then go to, like, just all of her performances fall.

[Drew Phillips]

Into the Me, Myself and I video. Actually, 8. We have seen every single. Every single piece of Beyonce.

[Inya]

Like, I remember and Lady Gaga and.

[Drew Phillips]

Lady Gaga in the old apartment. Remember how annoyed Josh got with us one time? Like, Josh, like, is so down to watch it. But one time, it was this big habit where we would, like, drink all the time. We would drink four locos and then sit in our living room and watch Beyonce music videos. At one time, Joshua, she was like, dude, not again.

[Inya]

And literally just, like, watching his room, he went. He stormed out.

[Drew Phillips]

He went to his room, which was a balcony so he had to hear it anyway.

[Inya]

It was very, very fair. But then we would like graduate into Telephone with Lady Gaga and they'd be like, oh, like, let's check out Judas. Like, like, because as one does.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah.

[Inya]

Or you can go down the other route and try to find the modern day pop star. Doja, Cat, Normani, Chloe and Haley. Chloe.

[Drew Phillips]

Chloe and Halle. Yeah, I can't say her name, actually.

[Inya]

I can't say her name. I don't know anymore. But yeah. And we just try to figure it out, but it just doesn't feel like the girls are giving or Michael Jackson.

[Drew Phillips]

There's not like a Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Beyonce. Like, for now, like, I, I can't. Unless I'm just. Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction.

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

I can think of artists that I really like and I think are huge and like beyond this life.

[Inya]

Like, like Tyler is a great performer.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, Tyler's an insane performer.

[Inya]

Crazy. Like he's, he understands.

[Drew Phillips]

But no backup dancers. But which I would not expect. It would be funny. Oh, no, wait, he used to. No, no. I'm thinking of his Grammy performance when he had all of. During Igor, when he had like all the like, like, like clones of him that could do a goddamn performance.

[Inya]

Or is that. Is that Josiah making sound?

[Josiah]

I can't hear anything.

[Drew Phillips]

I think it might have been Josiah, but that could put on a show. But I just like, like I am so, like, I love big theatrics. Like, I want, I want fire. I want like things moving. Like, I want like full.

[Inya]

I want my ape brain to be stimulated. Over stimulated. Like I, I want it to be like me scrolling on tick tock of stimulation. Like. Yeah.

[Drew Phillips]

I want to be so over stimulated that I forget I'm real. That's what I look for in a concert. But then I think like, I do like a good. Like some performers I've seen are just really good and they're not doing like crazy theatrics. Like Big Thief was really good and really good to watch. Dijon was. Puts on a really good show because of the like, the like renditions of songs that he does. All the clapping and instruments.

[Inya]

His homies wooing in the back.

[Drew Phillips]

But yeah, I just don't. I can't think of any huge superstar I don't know if I've seen. I think they get performers. Yeah. Performances. I haven't seen Meg perform enough. Meg can just dance her ass off too, which is just like really fun to watch. But I just want maybe it's a budget thing. Like maybe like if a lot of these artists had huge budgets, what would they do? Like, Ariana was a really good performer too, but I don't know if she's going to go on tour again. But she was like, but she's also not a dancer. We need dancers.

[Inya]

That's, that's what we're getting at at the end of the day is like, we need girls like dancing their asses off. Like it's just not what it used to be. And everybody goes to the concerts, iPhone, videos, myself included, get one.

[Drew Phillips]

Okay. Because I don't, I don't knock getting one to do videos. Do not record the whole performance. Like when, when it's just an endless.

[Inya]

Sea of phones because someone else is recording it and you can watch it on YouTube.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, you will watch any song you don't get one other person will get. Also, these artists usually do at least one show when the whole thing is recorded. Like, yeah, get a few pictures or videos for memory's sake. But you don't even look at them. I don't watch them past that moment. I just think about it and I'm like, that was fun. Every now and then I'll look at videos.

[Inya]

I did for the first time ever in my life, life do that. And I went back and watched the Playboi Cardi performance because I was like that. He is so goofy in like the best way possible. Opium signing Ice Spice.

[Drew Phillips]

I love her.

[Inya]

The Opium Munchers is what they're calling us.

[Drew Phillips]

Which is pretty insensitive. But, you know, I guess I'm an opium muncher now.

[Inya]

Yeah, me too. Me too.

[Drew Phillips]

Well, that was that. Thank you for listening to our rant about pop stars.

[Inya]

Yeah, yeah. Sitting from our home, going from dead parents and brothers and cats to Beyonce and pop stars.

[Drew Phillips]

But yeah, we need to see her. But oh, Drew made a funny joke where he was like, he's like, I actually think if she reached out to touch me, I would freak out and.

[Inya]

Like, like I would hit her hand.

[Drew Phillips]

Away, her hand away.

[Inya]

Because I'd be like, get the. Away from me.

[Drew Phillips]

It was too scary. She's like, nah, I'm not worthy.

[Inya]

I'm not worthy.

[Drew Phillips]

Lana Del Rey is so beautiful.

[Inya]

I've been true.

[Drew Phillips]

But yeah. Thank you guys so much for watching. Oh, media.

[Inya]

I always, always trying to skip it.

[Drew Phillips]

Forgetting.

[Inya]

Okay, I got la Tyler, jada wayta love la Tyler. This little 16 year old kid from Florida making like such sick music and it needs to be recognized more. I know there's people Listening that are like, he's already huge. Like I said about Young Lean, you live in a fucking echo chamber. Like, you live in a microcosm on the Internet. He's not big, but he will be.

[Drew Phillips]

Mark my words.

[Inya]

Mark my words. No surprises by Radiohead. Ooh, yeah, yeah. I'm a Radiohead fan. Yeah, Yeah. I don't give a fuck. And let's do. Oh, I'm. I'm forcing it. So I'm not giving you a third. You only get two today, but you can listen to any left Tyler song and love it. It's so goofy and good.

[Drew Phillips]

My media of the week is I realized I know every single Journey song ever.

[Inya]

Journey.

[Drew Phillips]

Journey.

[Inya]

Oh, did your parents listen to it a bunch?

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, my parents loved Journey, and I know every song and I actually love the song Separate Ways, Worlds Apart, and Wheel in the Sky. And Wheel in the sky was in a Sopranos episode, and it literally. I, like, freaked me out because I hadn't thought about Journey in so long. But I had an era when I was, like, 17, 18, where I was listening to Journey a lot, which was super random, but I think it was. I was, like, really missing my childhood, and I was so sad that I was, like. Like having to face all my, like, sadness and whatnot. And then. What does your soul look like? DJ Shadow waiting for you. Alex G. Mermaid Shade. And I'm still listening to I think of you little. That song.

[Inya]

It's S A D E. Sadie.

[Drew Phillips]

That's not how you say it, actually, so you must know nothing. All right, well, he's done. Ew. Ew. What was that?

[Inya]

Just nodded off.

[Drew Phillips]

All right, well, thank you guys so much for watching. Bye.

[Inya]

Should we add the Outro song to this episode just because.

[Drew Phillips]

Yeah, sure. It's not done yet, though, so should.

[Inya]

I play, like, just a little clip.

[Drew Phillips]

Of it if you would, like. Yeah, if you could find it fast enough. Like, you're literally taking forever. So it's, like, pretty anticlimactic, honestly. It's like, what are you doing on that phone?

[Inya]

Oh, my God, that's all you.

[Drew Phillips]

Why is Kai laughing so hard?

[Josiah]

I really like it. It sounds. It reminds me of Wii Sports.

[Drew Phillips]

Very chill vibes, very lobby of. Of chill video games.

[Josiah]

What's the one where they, like, upgraded it and it was like, Wii Sports Resort?

[Inya]

Yeah.

[Josiah]

Like, all the music was more lit and we. Sports Resort sounds like that.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh, fun fact. Did you know that that's been sitting on our iPhones for over a year?

[Josiah]

Yeah, that's awesome.

[Drew Phillips]

We just never did anything with it? I don't remember. Oh, game music is now considered like it can be nominated for Grammys now like game soundtracks can be Grammy.

[Inya]

Was someone nominated that changed it.

[Drew Phillips]

I think just the past year or two that's been a thing would have.

[Josiah]

Won backpack had actually won a Grammy really for producing for the five Nights at Freddy's Music.

[Inya]

Oh wow.

[Drew Phillips]

Oh my God. He's lying because look at his face.

[Inya]
