We want to take a moment to thank one of today's sponsors, Shopify. I love Shopify so much. Anything I have ever sold, I have used Shopify. I remember when I first found out about Shopify, it was a lifesaver. It's when I was first doing my zines and my chapters merch and I had no idea how I was going to navigate setting up a website and I got recommended Shopify and I was so scared because I was like, oh my God, I put this off till last minute. How am I going to navigate a full new website? But it was so completely easy to set up.

Drew
They stole all our. Y'all haven't even seen Drew. You haven't even seen Drew. They stole something from Drew. They stole Whoever took all our. Please bring back Drew.
India
I was going to make wigs out of it for cancer patients and they stole it from.
Drew
They took it like I don't.
India
Two years of growth.
Drew
Hold my hand. You like? Thank God they stole it because you look so much better. You used to look like I had to get that off my chest. I'm so sorry. Oh, I'm saying it's good they stole your hair cuz now you're sexy.
India
So you let me be ugly for two years?
Drew
Well, yeah, cuz now your hair looks healthy and you're mogging me.
India
I'm mogging all over. In your.
Drew
Like, the thing is, like, of I always think Drew is hot, but there is something so nice. Because there was a time, remember, when all the comments were like, drew is so sexy. Drew is so sexy. I'm right fucking here. It made me feel like when I was with my sister at school again. But recently I've been the sexy one. But now, like, I have to fight with you for comments. Okay, see, then you do something.
India
That part. Oh, well, y'all thought that it was just a little haircut. Y'all thought I chopped everything off, right?
Drew
So, babe, babe, go show them. I need that to see, like, what I'm staring at. Like, I can't believe this is what we do. Like, my parents literally, like, risk their lives to come to this country, and this is what I do with the life they gave me. Are you farting your little farting girl? True. You look so good. You're my little angel, baby. I love you, baby. That's how I'm gonna start talking to you. Oh, this is kind of a vibe.
India
Like, I don't know if I ever.
Drew
Want to sit on a chair ever again. Like, sitting on the floor is kind of fun.
India
Our set is in the car. Yeah. No, it's literally trapped in the car. As we transported it for something very extra special. Something super coming. Very. But we were just too lazy to bring it up the stairs. And we were thought, oh, you know, it might be fun to just sit on the floor of our nasty kitchen. I barely vacuumed. I mean, if you can see in the corner behind India, there is rotten watermelon juice. Because in you make watermelon watermelon juice.
Drew
It's a rotten creation. Smoothie before I realize that juices ferment. And then I learned from tick tock that you're supposed to use a little needle to pop the air so it has a explode all over you. And one time I was like, I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna clean the out of this fridge. And I juice in the back. And I was like, ill. This is going to stink. Thank God I didn't put my face near. I had my face like this because I thought it was going to sneak.
India
Oh, that literally would have given you brain eating amoebas.
Drew
It looked like the episode or not episode. You know what it looked like the scene with Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street. That's literally what that juice did to our kitchen. Like it shot up at the ceiling and went down this way and fell.
India
It literally coated our entire kitchen in rotten watermelon juice. Like, it was crazy. It was a bad vi. But, yeah, so there's that in the corner. It's a rotten pile that we missed that we just said, you know what? Keep it. But.
Drew
Well, it's. Because it's, like, classic. When you spill something, it's. I'm getting the big portions out and whatever is left. What doesn't kill me makes me fucking. Like, I'm not picking all. It's. I. Do you ever clean up broken glass and you get kind of lazy at the end, like, oh.
India
And I just, like.
Drew
I'm just like, if I step on that, like, it'll be.
India
It'll do good for me, honestly. I'll learn a lesson later just for future Drew to figure out. No. Like, when we were breaking that tv, there were shards of glass that broke all over the floor. No. What? No, no, no. About. Oh. And I sat there and picked every single one of them up because I was like, oh, what if aul, like, thinks this is a toy and plays with it? But there were these, like, microscopic, like, tiny little shards of, like, plexiglass or some that, like, I literally. I'm not kidding. I just cleaned up with the bottom of my feet. I was just like, I just pick these up and, like, rub them my skin like fiberglass.
Drew
Also, I feel like we need to clarify. That is not our fucking TV in that video. Josie got that TV from the Greer budget for, like, 40 bucks off of Facebook market because I saw someone being like, oh, my God, they really do just have money like that. I want to clarify. Yes, we are very privileged. I live an awesome life. We have had the same TV for six years.
India
I've been begging, begging to buy a new one.
Drew
I don't think getting a new TV. Like, all the TVs do the same shit, like, at a sound bar, so that the base is crazy. Because I will say we destroyed the speakers on our TV when we have friends over and we're trying to, like, set a vibe and put music on the tv literally sounds like. Like, it sounds like you're in a teenager's car. Like, in a teenager's Nissan when you.
India
Put the volume too much on vibrating the trunk.
Drew
But, yeah, I just want to clarify that. I just don't like you. Can't you kind of tell me on a new.
India
I love new TVs. If I could, I would buy a new TV every single year, because I.
Drew
Think It's a very man thing.
India
It truly is. It's like it's a very straight thing. They can. Of course I'm straight, but like it's, it's probably. Yeah.
Drew
This just goes to prove for all the deniers is like I love TV. You have all the Grinder elegance.
India
I love TVs and basketball.
Drew
I love the straight man lives on.
India
Yeah, I love TVs and basketball. I will not touch football because quite honestly that's the gayest sport there is. But we don't have to get into that. We've talked about that a hundred times.
Drew
Football is also just crazy because it's like all sports have danger to it, but like football and ufc, wrestling and shit. I am so sorry.
India
The way I felt after my concussion like for like five days after. I swear to God, if they're getting a concussion a night like no wonder all of them like kill their wives. I mean I'm sorry, that's like really dark sided to say. But like there's like I felt so crazy and out of it for like a week after that. And like literally like I had a constant headache. I just felt dazed and confused and like I just felt off. Like I felt like I was viewing life from. Like I felt dissociated. Like I was viewing life or depersonalized.
Drew
What is the. I mean I doubt football creates a space where there is like a lot of conversation around mental health, but I wonder what the.
India
Oh it's getting.
Drew
The rates of like depression and suicide.
India
Are Football players, it's, it's sky high.
Drew
Because I feel a lot of them also really addicted to gambling and all that other shit.
India
And I feel like all addicted to painkillers because the NFL like would supply all these players with painkillers. Like Tom Brady, I think or no, Aaron Rodgers like played of the best games of his life high on Percocet because he like broke his arm or some. And they were like, no, we need you. So they like put him back out there never.
Drew
I know get up there and do that one, two step with perk in her system.
India
But yeah, the, the depression rates post like their careers are really gnarly and all of them have like fucking dementia and CTE and like what, what drives me insane is I'm like there are so many like for these players to like not get cte. Like they invented this new thing with like a helmet cover and it looks fucking stupid, but like it stops people from getting a concussion every goddamn game. But they don't wear them because they look Dumb. And I'm like, okay, like, you either.
Drew
Look cool now football players already look fucking dumb like that in your mouth. And the helmet combo is kind of crazy. Like you're already looking like you're doing something that God never intended for you to be doing. So put the goddamn picture.
India
I would argue that football is exactly what God intended man to do. Like to beat each other up. Like, because I mean, we've been doing that shit for like millennia, like thousands and thousands of years.
Drew
Well, it's just like that Coliseums.
India
We would just kill each other. That's fucking crazy. We would kill each other for sport. And now I lay in bed with the anxiety of a person being hunted. Like it's crazy. Like it's epigenetic. It's like in my DNA to be anxious.
Drew
Wait, that reminds me of something I wrote down. Oh, that like, reminds me of earlier today. I was watching this person review pens that they like, and I was like, oh, stationery just does something to me. And I'm like, it literally feels like. It feels like how my brain feels when I see green. And it's like my body begging me to go back to the forest, to tradition. That's how I feel about like analog stationary items.
India
I'm like, like a good collection of like those Stedler highlighters. Like, oh yeah, like the pastel.
Drew
But then I. I don't use that.
India
I know. I buy it and then it just sits on my desk, very organized.
Drew
Like, I will say the pens I own right now, like, I've had pens for the first time run out of ink in the past year, which is crazy. It's like getting through to the copics.
India
The copic markers I bought 10 years ago are still, still kicking. Because I. I don't know, like, for those that don't know, I'm sure a lot of you do know. Copics are like the holy grail of marker. I'm pretty sure they'd be bendy throned recently by like ohuhu or whatever. Because it's like, it's literally just like a topic marker, but like a fraction of the cost. And we have them and like low key, like they are better than copics.
Drew
But anyways, that's the gag is copic was never that good.
India
It was never gagging the girl.
Drew
It was copic. And then what was the clay? Because me and Drew both grew up watching like stationary. Cremo.
India
No, Fimo. Fimo.
Drew
Oh, F I M O. Yeah, I thought you said primo.
India
But those copic markers I bought literally a Decade ago are still juicy as fuck. Because there is something in my brain that like literally will not let me use them because they cost so much. And that's like. That is like an actual problem in my day to day life. Like if I buy something expensive, I will literally just not open it for like a week at a time because I don't want to like fuck it up. Like it's crazy. I've gotten better about it recently though. But those copic markers will literally stay juicy as fuck because I don't use them at all.
Drew
Well, also like it. I. I feel like we both do that and it's because our parents raised us correctly and they taught us to.
India
They made us buy our.
Drew
Yeah, they made us either like work for our thing. You had to wait for it or it was like a luxury thing. Because I'm looking at these FIMO clays. I. To me a who got on YouTube and had female clays of every color.
India
Don't even pull with like the drawers with the drawers.
Drew
Dam you like, to me, that was. I didn't grow up watching the Kardashians and shit, but that is how I assume people felt about the Kardashians when they would watch and be like, damn, this is just wealth. That to me was wealth. And that is why we need to go back. We need to go back. No more Stanley Cups and stuff. No.
India
Also, didn't Stanley like donate to 2025 Project 2025. I'm not kidding. I think I saw actually, you know, I. This could be like crazy misinformation, but I was scrolling on TikTok and I saw a tick tock live of a girl writing down all of the names donated to a Project 2025. And they got to the S's and they wrote Stanley. And I was like, I mean it makes sense because Stanley was originally like a working man's brand. Like the OG Stanley Caller.
Drew
Like middle of America.
India
I don't know. That could be misinformation. So throw your Stanley's away, you freak bitches. Actually, I don't give a fudge. Keep them and drink them. Like, I mean we all have lead poisoning at this point.
Drew
Like, we're all bad.
India
We're all.
Drew
It is done. And I've been thinking about that recently and it's been pushing me to really new bounds of my brain's limits that I feel like this next year is my last year to live. Like, I'm literally.
India
Oh babe, me too.
Drew
Living like I'm being like hunted like you said. Like, but I'M not playing every day. I went from somebody, and this is going to sound so ridiculous. I went from somebody who. Waking up at 11. For me, that's a good day. I'm like, I just.
India
I just cooked.
Drew
I. I woke up today at 8:20, and I was like, God damn it. I wasted two hours. Goddamn it. I wasted two hours where I could have been working. Because next year, like, everything's going to end. Like, that is. I've been waking up every day not because I want to, but I have the anxiety of a woman who has, like, a red laser pointer in her, like, peeking through her windows every night.
India
Like, yeah, wait one second. I gotta grab something. Damn. Well, I can't shout out who did this. We'll put it on the screen. But someone on Tick Tock drew up a million pictures of me.
Drew
It looks so awesome. I was saying to Drew, like, it is so crazy how many of y'all are so talented and this is what it gets put towards. But honestly, it's amazing and it's perfect. Oh, you're kicking the cloud box. Make sure the speaker is fine. Well, I'm a bit fearful that Thanksgiving tradition, we are going to lose it with our generation.
India
Like, no, we're not.
Drew
Like, our generation is not getting married. We're not having kids. We can't get houses. Like, where's all the tradition? We don't have tradition anymore. We can't go.
India
This is the tradition.
Drew
Yeah, this is it. Because I was genuinely thinking. I was like, I don't go home for Thanksgiving anymore because we gave girls.
India
Too many rights, period.
Drew
And. And that's why. And that's why I'm saying next year is going to be amazing. And that's why I'm saying.
India
Yeah. Yeah.
Drew
Oh, my.
India
Oh, my God. It's not even, like, funny anymore.
Drew
Like, every time we joke about it, I'm like, right, Right.
India

Drew
Is going to fall off so all.
India
The already had a major. It's flopping. It's actively flopping right now. And you know how? I know why? Because Crumble cookie. Oh my God y'all. I have been craving, craving crumble cookie for literally months now. Like I've been wanting it so bad. And then every week they release the nastiest goddamn cookies I've ever seen. And I'm like, I will not be spending my money on that.
Drew
The holiday season brings out the nastiest baby bakers. Like the traditional.
India
I do not need to be eating black food dye. I'm sorry. Like stop putting it in the Halloween cookies. Like purple food dye tastes like dick and balls. Like it's so gross. Like you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Drew
Even like swear I want a cranberry butter milk biscuit cookie. Like to me that actually sounds good as that sounds disgusting. But I am like so anti pie and fruits being mingled with my sweets. Like I don't want. Ew. It literally. It's like discharge fucking cake.
India
Like I was gonna say that's how.
Drew
I know charge cake. It's literally just like a little gushy, a little wet.
India
Like that's how I know Thanksgiving is flopping because crumble. I went to go get some and they only have fucking pies. Like are you out of your goddamn mind? God forsaken mine. Like oh my God. And one of them literally does look like a poo poo platter. Like it literally looks like a diarrhea shit.
Drew
What's the one pie like butter pe that you can't get me with that. I just didn't grow up in a pie household. Like Miami, it wasn't like a pie place. I never heard of no were bringing pies out any holiday.
India
One of my dad's best friends shout out Ladell, she would make pecan pies from pecans. Cuz we lived in an area where pecan trees grew. So she would collect all of the pecans and then make a bunch of pies and give them out to all her friends and family. That shit. I actually need to hit her up because that was literally like my most favorite thing about this time of year.
Drew
I mean this time of year for me is like tamales. Like my. My like aunt aunt. How I was gonna say my tia, but that sounds so like Ashley Trevino of me to just like is that the.
India
Is that the pumpkin spice latte or.
Drew
That girl at the Ashley Trevino is this girl. Like it's gonna maybe gag a few people that I know who the this is. But I'm like, she's.
India
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Drew
Every time I say just a single Spanish word, that's who I feel like like me thinking I'm no. Like I'm not no sabo. And I'm never beating the no sabo.
India
Kid, I'm not beating the. No, but I. Oh, what was I gonna say? What was I gonna say, damn it.
Drew
About the pecan pies?
India
No, it was about a tick tock. Oh, y'all, there is that. I think the greatest video ever happened on the Internet recently. Like, it's truly like I watch it over and over again. Like, y'all know that picture of India in the backseat of the car at like one of the videos we made on Joshia's channel. When she's like. Like she looks up, y'all, I can even think about it and start crying laughing. That picture, I don't know how.
Drew
And I've tried to make that face for you a lot because you love that picture. But I can't do it.
India
It was just like, it makes me me cry laughing, even thinking about it when let alone seeing it. If it just pops up on my feed, I cry laughing at that picture. It is one of the greatest photos of Anya of all time.
Drew
That photo to you brings like the same amount of joy as like Wicked does to Trisha Paytas.
India
Yeah, exactly.
Drew
Like it's the equivalent for you.
India
Exactly. Or El Faba, the British girl. But anyways, the way they feel about.
Drew
Getting the role is how you feel about the picture. Me?
India
Exactly. But I. Oh my God, y'all, this video brings me the same amount of joy. It is this girl at like a traditional, like, Hawaiian luau. Like the white girl. Yes. And she's like vibing. She's living life. She meant no harm by it. And like, I think that's why it's so funny to me is because it is so pure and it's just like, purely, just like, it's just funny. Like it's just like, I don't know, like, it just freaks me out. We'll play it here. But her scream is like, in her look around for like, approval is like so good. And I don't know, I just like moments like that make me think everything's going to be okay. Like, moments of like, where we can all watch something and be like, oh, I don't. You shouldn't have done that. But it's like we can all laugh with it. I don't know.
Drew
I know what you mean. Because it is just like, like, like something about.
India
Like she was feeling herself.
Drew
Something about white women when they're experiencing culture, like they cannot believe it, dude.
India
Like, it really is like, like, just like asking, like, just like using the language.
Drew
It's like the same thing as like a woman with a one year Streak on Duolingo. Going to Mexico for the first time. Like, you're not gonna meet someone happier than that woman in that moment. Like, ordering for everybody at the table restaurant. It is so funny. I thought you were going to say the meme. The. Damn, I forgot.
India
Oh, that.
Drew
That's really good. None.
India
Nope.
Drew
None. One.
India
Nope.
Drew
There is none.
India
And ies. Damn, I forgot. Let me.
Drew
And it's really scary. And also there's something about, like, there's something unraveling with Internet culture right now. Like. Like, it's. It reminds me of when we were growing up in Vine. So, like, vine, when it started was this platform and there were people who were our age right now. So were there. There were people who were like 23 to 25 making content, like, whether it was like a king batch or like a Lele Pons, who probably aren't that much older than us, but that's where they land in age range from my head. And they were making that kind of content that was popular with other adults. We are seeing that with AI, if that makes sense. Like, AI is used so much by older people to make dead serious things of, like, this is what the earth is going to look like in 20 years and all this shit. But we're seeing the counterculture of that being like Stan culture, making funny memes with it and just abusing it in the dumbest ways. And it makes me miss being a teenager, a part of counterculture.
India
Because it's a lovely thing to be a teenager right now.
Drew
Yeah, it is. Like, it's always so nice.
India
It's so fun for me personally to be a part of that as a teenager.
Drew
Oh, I. Sorry, I forget your 18.
India
Damn, I forgot that. We'll insert that video to what Enya was referencing. Literally fucking iconic. Like, truly.
Drew
But it is really scary, like, what people can make. But then I think about the shit we were photoshopping.
India
Like, I, James Charles and White Face. We gave him a platform in a career. And I don't think I'll ever forget myself for that.
Drew
I don't think. I wonder.
India
I will say.
Drew
And he's like. He's like, damn them. Or if now he looks back at that and he's like, that's funny.
India
There's some tea there. But the greatest or no, no, I will say. I hate to say it, but I love his car review series. He like, reviews.
Drew
That's like the straight man and you coming out.
India
And he's good at it too. Like, he's good at it, unfortunately. And I have to give Flowers where flowers are due.
Drew
I just don't really care about things like that. But I also. Like, what do I really watch on my phone? I can't tell you. Actually, I can tell you because the other day, I had a phenomenon.
India
Wait, before we move on, can I say this AI thing while we're on topic? Oh, my God.
Drew
Hold on to that and sit with that.
India
What I was going to say regarding AI is I was on FaceTime with my parents, and my mom was just showing my dad's Instagram feed, and he was scrolling through it, and, like, there was this girl on his feed that popped up, like, three times. And I was like, dad, who the fuck is that and why are you watching that? And this was the video I saw. And I was like, dad, the fake girl. What is this? This is an entire account of a girl. AI girl with big knockers bouncing around and, like, it's all, AI not real. And it has. Has 8,000 followers. And my dad fully thought it was real. So there are other people that think that's fucking real, and it's probably an entire market. And what's that one girl that was with little Michaela. Little Michaela, like, she fell off after that photo with Epstein came out. Like, let's talk about that. Like, little Michaela with Epstein. Like, come on now. But she fell the fuck off after, like, AI came out. But, yeah, that literally just like.
Drew
Well, because the novelty of Lil Michaela got boring as fuck once everybody could 3D render, like, anything. Yeah, I'm trying this side part vibe, and I don't know if I like it. Y'all tell me what you think.
India
Like, you don't want their opinions. That's why I haven't asked a single question about my haircut. Because I know. I know what they're gonna say. But I would also hate, hate for my name to be Nina right now.
Drew
Nina. Just literally just vote somebody whose name Nina needs to run for, like, high school president or wherever the it is. Like, valid. Victor, Valedictorian, whatever the it is. We didn't do that at my school. I don't think we did that at my school, but maybe we did, and I just didn't know. But we didn't do any kind of.
India
I ran for class president and didn't win, and I made custom pencils that I gave out.
Drew
That's con.
India
Oh, yeah. And I ran, and I.
Drew
Because you wanted it too bad they knew.
India
Exactly, exactly.
Drew
You have to be kind of nonchalant. Like, I feel like only the kids who were kind of, like.
India
Like, I wanted so bad. And then that was a very pivotal moment in my life where I fiended for attention more and wanted even more what I couldn't have. And now it created.
Drew
You're. You're an empty pit. You're a void.
India
I'm a. I'm a void of a person.
Drew
But, yeah, your hole is kind of an empty void. Just like, you put so many things. Yeah, you've put so many things in there, it's just not full.
India
Yeah, I'm ran through.
Drew
Yeah.
India
Like, literally, the turds just slide out.
Drew
I mean, they quite literally don't.
India
Like, why we got to talk about that.
Drew
I guess you got. You. You did, like, reverse from being celibate too long. That's probably why you're more dissipated.
India
I broke celibacy.
Drew
You're disgusting. You, like, actually appall me. I don't know what we're gonna eat for Thanksgiving. By the time this comes out, Thanksgiving is going to be done. And, like, I really don't know what I'm gonna do. I think I'm just gonna, like, chew on my fingernails and get high.
India
I mean, fingernails do taste good. I will say. Fingernails and fingernail skin have been tasting, like, a lot better recently.
Drew
Oh, they've been too good. Because look at my nails. Yeah, I've been, like, been macking.
India
I fully, fully relapsed on the fingernail skin.
Drew
But nail biting is, like, one of the worst habits to start with. Like, not drug addiction.
India
Heroin. Heroin.
Drew
No, no, no. Not. None of that. Like, not drug addiction.
India
The gateway drug. Being addicted to alcohol.
Drew
Like, it literally is just like. Like, nail biting is the worst. Especially just as anxious people. Like, I would actually know. I guess there's quite literally worse. But we pick at our skin. That's what sucks is we're not. Because I'm not just biting the nails. My skin is getting bit up. I need my. I need my cuticles to look clean. And now my new obsession is the nail clippers, which I actually think I said in an episode already, but I've been really obsessed with, like, cuticle cutters. And that was the worst thing ever, because this is really gross to tell y'all, but my anxiety has been so peaking recently that I have this new obsession with using the cuticle cutters on my toes. And at least twice a month, I have an infected toe.
India
Just vote.
Drew
Just vote.
India
Literally, just vote.
Drew
Just vote.
India
No, I said. I don't think you heard me, but nail biting is the first gateway drug. They want to say, oh, weed, weed, weed, weed. Weed, weeds.
Drew
I love.
India
He is nail biting is a first gate way drug. But then you get to vaping or a pacifier maybe.
Drew
Yeah, they. They train us.
India
Your mother's nipple. That's why I cannot believe that y'all let.
Drew
This is very, like, natural. Like, the reason I gravitate towards this is there's something like the divine feminine lives here.
India
Yeah. No, literally.
Drew
And the te. My babe.
India
The divine feminine lives on the way. I cannot believe that y'all let me breastfeed until I was 24 and didn't say a word to me, like, coming out of it. I was, like, really sad that I, like, didn't have my mother's nipple to latch onto in anxious moments. Wait, looking back, I was 24. Most kids stop when they're like 12 months old, 14 months old.
Drew
I'm confused. I thought you were 17. Just cut. Just cut. Just vote.
India
Just literally just vote.
Drew
I was going to say something. I forgot.
India
Oh, I didn't even tell them because.
Drew
People think we lied about your concussion.
India
I was gonna say, yeah, I didn't even tell him about my concussion, but I literally got a concussion in the UK because I was, like, trying to FaceTime Luna and like, Luna, like, asked for me to go.
Drew
Fucking conniption. Yeah, we can't have kids. I knew exactly where your brain.
India
Yeah, I was, like, freaking the fuck out because my phone wasn't connecting because it was connected to the car that we were driving. And, like, you couldn't see me and she couldn't see me and she was asking for me and I was like, oh, my God. She's, like, not going to think to ask for me again because I'm not showing up there for her when she needs me most, when she's asking for me. So I was freaking the fuck out. And then, like, I did it, like, called her back, like, three more times and it still wasn't connecting. And I was outside of the car, so I was freaking the fuck out and having a meltdown. And then I was just like, walking through the threshold of our fucking wizard's thatch. Nasty fucking gross ass house. And the door frames are literally, like fucking two feet tall. And you have to duck under every single door frame. Well, I just didn't duck down far enough. And I was like, I was basically running at that point. And I ran straight into the doorframe. Fucking rigor mortis. Immediately, like, shaking and dropped everything out of my hand, phone included. And was like. I just was stunned. Like, I literally.
Drew
I know. It was like, I feel like I'M a good gauge for if there's danger. And in that moment, I genuinely started freaking out too, because he was holding his head and there was. We don't know if he hit his head on the. The wooden post of the door frame or. I think you hit your head. There's a huge lamp there. That's what I thought you hit your head on because there's this like, sharp metal lamp right there. I thought you hit your head on that and you were holding it and you were like muttering and not getting words out. And I was like, oh, my God, he just split his head open. And I started freaking out and I was like, trying to navigate going outside. And then I heard like, Luna and Steven on the phone. So I picked up the phone. I was like, hi. And I'm like trying to just be normal because I don't want Luna to associate Drew's phone calls with like, because Drew was like screaming and me and him were freaking out. And when I picked up the phone, she did look a little starter. So I was like, oh, my God. Hi, Luna. Luna doesn't give a about.
India
She don't play about any. She does not care.
Drew
Do.
India
Yeah, where's do? Where's do?
Drew
I will say our hair being similar was, I think, working on.
India
Oh, I didn't tell you. I called her after I got my haircut and she was terrified of me.
Drew
Oh, really?
India
She was horrified, but she like, warmed up after a second. But she did not care.
Drew
I was gonna say cuz I feel like when my hair is like curly and parted in the middle and I get on the ph with Luna, that's when she's the nicest to me if my hair is like pulled back or straight. Luna sees me and she's like, who is that? But yeah, I thought Drew was going to die.
India
I literally gave myself a concussion by walking into a doorframe. Really embarrassing.
Drew
And at first when you were saying concussion, because I grew up in such a lax household about health, I was like, okay, A concussion, like a concussion has never sounded like to me. I'm like, what, you hurt your head, Boo Who? And then I was looking into it because you were like, really dizzy. And I was looking into it on my phone and I was like, oh, my God, a concussion can kill somebody. And then I got really scared to leave Drew alone. And me and Josiah refused to leave Drew alone for the next like 12 hours.
India
Cuz I was going to die. I went to sleep and I could have died in my sleep. And who knows quantum immortality. I could have Died in my sleep.
Drew
You probably life. Do you like your new life?
India
Yeah, honestly, I feel a lot more at peace. The other Enya was a bro. She was so annoying. But this in is like.
Drew
I mean, I guess I could still take the compliment part of that.
India
Yeah. I mean, you're just, like, so, like. Oh, like.
Drew
Like, usually, yeah. But you know what I've been realizing is as we've grown older, I really have just shut the fuck up for the most part.
India
Like, that is not true.
Drew
Well, not with you, but I mean, in, like, social.
India
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Drew
Like, when we're out at, like, a work event or something, I'm just like.
India
Like, right, right. Well, I mean, you literally were laughing at that interpretive dancer.
Drew
Guys, okay, we need to talk about this. We need.
India
We really. We really need to address it.
Drew
Talk about it. Because I was like, y'all are pushing it. But this whole idea that I won't meet beat the mean girl allegations. Look around the room. A lot of people like me. Ho. I'm not actually mean. You might find I'm a pushover and people pleaser, and I'm too nice. Nice. And this whole front I put on for y'all is actually a defense mechanism because I'm tired of never being taken seriously. So when I get on camera in front of other people, I act a certain way, but really I'm a pushover. And most people might find that they could slap me across the face 18 times, and if they said sorry and they started crying, I would feel bad and I would erase the pain, and I would be nice to them. But this.
India
This interpretive dancer, like, she killed it. Let me get that out. She was good as great. It was. It was the. The setup for how it happened that was really just bizarre and jarring. So we were all sitting, minding our business, having a dinner, like, chatting up, like, whatever, whatever, whatever. And it was a vibe.
Drew
There was no announcement.
India
No announcement. Then out of the blue, Sade starts playing in the corners of the room.
Drew
Like, loud as fuck. Like, it goes from a normal volume of. I keep saying volume. Like, volume different. Because all I could think about is Josiah making fun of how. But the volume was very normal speaking level. We were all speaking over. I can't remember a single goddamn song that played before that moment.
India
And, like, so it blasts over the.
Drew
Speakers, and we're like, there is a woman in Somalia.
India
And it was just like. It was like, oh, okay. Like, switch up on the vibe. Cool. And then, like, out of the corner of my eyes, I see this girl in the middle of the room, just, like, what I thought, Taking, like, cunty ass.
Drew
Yeah. I thought she was getting her IG pics. I was like, purr, she's working.
India
Tear down.
Drew
Mind you, no one has made an announce. My dumbass is stuck in a conversation. Not stuck in a conversation. I was finally, like, it was a work event dinner. So when you're sat at these dinners, you're usually sat around a few strangers. And you have to get good at socializing. Just talking to new people. I'm not very good at that. It takes me a minute to ease into it, and I was finally easing into it, and I was talking to somebody, getting to know them. We're talking about, like, LA and Spain and, like, Miami, and we're just talking about. We're deep in conversation. At one point, me and him are the only ones still talking. Do you remember that? Because, like, Alex had to be like, something's happening, like, to, like, get everybody to stop talking. So I'm yelling, screaming, this girl's back here. And it looks like she's just getting her photos taken. So I'm like, damn, she's getting her pictures.
India
Y'All. She. We literally got flash mobbed with an interpretive solo dance. And, like, I'm sorry. Like, that is just inherently funny. Like, she. She. Again, she was so. She was so fluid. Her movements were amazing. She, like, bodied that song.
Drew
You couldn't pay me to learn how to do that because that's something you have to be born to do. Or you just, like, don't do it. Yeah, but it was just like, it went dead silent. Also, she's in this, like, gorgeous dress. And in any other situation, like, if I saw this for a music video, I'd be like, damn, this girl's so good. Like, this is amazing. There's just something. You can't put me. It's like, one time we went to our friend's concert and there was an opera singer for the first ten minutes. For the first ten minutes, I, like. Me and Drew could not stop laughing. And then. And then we got into it, and it turned into the business I've ever been.
India
There is a sincerity epidemic. And, like, I don't know why people being serious makes me laugh, but, like, it's. It's. It really is just a. It's a defense mechanism. Like you were saying earlier. Like. Like, it really was like, there was nothing funny about it, but it was just funny.
Drew
The guy right in front of us who I was talking to before had. He did have his phone in 0.5. And when she came sliding towards us, I was looking at his phone in that second. So I just see like the, like.
India
The doorknob in substance is what happened.
Drew
Literally, like her coming close to the camera and sliding towards this camera. And it just made me laugh. And I am so sorry. I had a feeling that was my biggest fear. The second all that stopped, I was like, oh my God. At one point during that, I laughed and there were people across filming and I knew. I just knew someone got on camera. I was like, without context, this is gonna seem like I'm just being a fucking cunt. But I am sorry. Y'all listen to the podcast. You know, I am the least serious person.
India
I don't know if the context makes it any better, honestly. Like, I mean, I don't know.
Drew

India
I don't know.
Drew
Like, maybe I am just a bitch because I'm the same person who. I can't go to Haunted Horror nights because the, like, theater kids are acting their ass off and they're like, the world.
India
Like, I'll never forget. We were at one of those Halloween haunted house, like, places where there's a bunch of Halloween haunted houses. Why do I keep saying that? But there was one. Yeah, Scare actors. And there was one behind a fence inside of a building, like, climbing up on and that. It was, like, the least scary thing I've ever seen in my life. Life. But I screamed in fear for her because I wanted her to feel good and, like, she was doing a good job.
Drew
Like, you have to remember, I am not somebody who I live. Like, I don't live a peaceful life. My life is overanalyzing everything. And I'm sitting in this restaurant. I'm like, this fucking overly upper echelon thing, which I'm so grateful to be a part of, but I can't help but look around and be like, oh, my God, this life is so funny. Like, this is what opulence is. Like, we always come back to this. We always come back to the same thing. And, like, the fact that opulence is having just, like, a single human come in and, like, dance for us. Like, it feels so barbaric. But, like, it's a gorgeous thing, but it's also the same thing. Like, when we saw the ins. The synchronized swimmers in person, that pushed me to a place that I never needed to be. There's just certain things that, like, my. My brain.
India
Shouldn't humans do that? Like, they're just funny. It's just. It's. It's not funny. Like, this is. This is the tea. It's like them doing it is, like, not. It's not funny like, it. But it's just the fact that, like, we're observing them doing it. That's funny. Like, that's what's funny to me is I'm just like, this regular guy watching people swim in water or, like, watching someone climb on a fence. In a scare house.
Drew
So to be clear, I literally grew up wanting to be a dancer. So you're talking to the main person who I. One thing I will always respect is a dancer, because bad dance is bad, but good dance. Like, she was such a good dancer. I don't know how the fuck she had the stamina to do all that because I would have fainted on the floor and everybody would have to call the fucking ambulance.
India
We really would have.
Drew
At one point, she genuinely. She literally was doing a handstand and was, like, twisting her legs for her dress to flow. And that had me memorized. I was like, oh, my God. She has the. She has crazy upper body strength. She could, like, walk around this room and knock all of us out in one swift punch. But just the sliding. The sliding, I think is. It's.
India
It was. It was the spins.
Drew
But I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
India
We'll move on. We'll move on. Okay. I have a note that says, I don't know what this is referencing, but receipts have been pissing me off lately. Actually, no, I do know what it's. I know. I know what it's referencing, bitch. Fuck. Receipts, actually, literally, receipts. If you give me a receipt, I'm going to freak out. Stop asking me. I know it's your job. Job, but stop asking me if I want a receipt. No, I don't want that receipt. Like, I literally don't. And then it's like, oh, well, like, you need them for taxes. Literally. No, I don't. Like, literally.
Drew
No outdated idea to me at this point, for the most part, like, I understand receipts in terms of, like, return and to keep track of what you've spent, but because so many things are, like, linked to accounts and emails, just. I always have my email linked to every store, whether it's like Sephora A, Whole Foods. Like, I have trust I will be knowing what I got.
India
I have one bank account, and I can go in and just keep track of my spending in there. Like, I really. I do not need this piece of paper covered in BPA hormones. Like, I don't.
Drew
I don't believe in the. I don't believe in the. The harassment against receipt inks. I think it's pushing it. We have much greater things to deal with. Leave the ink on receipts alone. No, that's like the bottom tier of what we got to get.
India
Okay, yeah, it's the bottom tier, but it's still like a thing that I think about when I'm touching receipts. I'm like, I don't want this. Like, why? Why is this in my hand? And then I think about the service workers that have to handle receipts all day long, and I just feel bad. I feel truly bad for them because it's like they have to touch this vile, toxic piece of paper. But anyways, receipts.
Drew
Well, imagine me, I have to touch this mic all the time.
India
Yeah. And it smells like your fucking vagina. I don't know why I said that. I really. I don't know why I said that. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Drew
Imagine those comments actually made me hella insecure about my oochie smell. I'm not kidding. The smell of my vagina does not cross my mind once. Like, ever.
India
It crosses mine at least six times a day when you're laying in my.
Drew
Bed, like, especially with the heated blanket on. It's like when you sit like nuggets under a hot light, a hot lamp at a fast food restaurant.
India
Yeah. It's like cooking tuna. Like, it's like salmon, raw salmon being fried in the air fryer. Oh, my God. Cooking fish in a microwave actually should be considered a war crime. And I'm not kidding. Like, it really should be fish in your house, period.
Drew
Remember when I was cooking salmon all the time? I had the house stinking. The house was like, humid with the scent. Like, it was really an ocean breeze.
India
It was really not okay. It was. It was not fucking okay. Well, there's one last thing that I need to get off my chest before we go. And I have had a pet spider in the corner of my kitchen, of our kitchen, for about six months now, seven months now. And he just lives in the open air. I let him do his thing. I let him make his web webs, which you might be like, drew, that's fucking crazy. Like, why would you do that? Well, I was gonna go and kill him one day or, like, take down his web. And then I looked closer and I saw about 50 fruit flies in his web. And then I thought to a moment about four months prior where I was like, oh, my God, it's fruit fly season. And I literally haven't seen a single fruit fly in our house. Yeah, this spider single handedly eradicated the entire fruit fly population in our kitchen all on his own. So I was like, you know what? Like, he's actually doing us a service. Like, I don't have to worry about these goddamn flies flying in my nose. And the spider gets to eat and he's minding his own business. He's not poisonous. Like, he's not gonna bite me. He's just. He literally stays in that corner.
Drew
If only society could take notes.
India
Exactly, exactly. Exactly. He just stays in that corner, collects his bugs, and just minds his own business. And, like, I mind my own business. And it was, like. It was a very, very symbiotic relationship. Like, I literally did not give a at all. Well, I started to grow, like, a love for him. Like, I really started to care for him. And, like, there it was points where I was spraying water onto his thing, because I was like, how is he drinking water? Where is he getting water from? Like, do spiders drink water? I was doing a bunch of research. So I put water droplets on his webs, and, like, y'all, his web grew huge. And, like, I was actually proud of him.
Drew
And I will say I let Drew have that, but it made the corner of our kitchen look batshit crazy. Every time I would clean, I would sit in this kitchen for, like, two hours, working my ass off cleaning. Look around, and I'm like, oh, my God, it's spotless in here. But then there's the biggest cobweb you've ever seen in your goddamn life in the corner. Because it wasn't making me keep Pinterest, like, inspo for the season webs. It was making nasty, dusty webs.
India
Yeah, his webs were buzzed, like. Yeah, it was soggy bottom webs. Like, it was not giving cute, but.
Drew
But I. I understood what it meant for Drew, so I let him live.
India
So he was just chilling in there for months and months and months and months and months. And then, like, we're supposed to do this, like, photo shoot in our house this week. And so I was like, oh, we should get, like, a professional cleaner to come in and clean the house and just, like, so it looks nice and so it's not scary and dusty and nasty. So before the cleaner came, I was like, oh, I need to put a note by the spider saying, don't kill him, because I really. I really did to kill him, y'all.
Drew
They decimated his ass.
India
Decimated him. Like, not a trace left. He's not there anymore. Like, literally, they got his ass.
Drew
This all could have been a dream. He never existed.
India
Like, and then they, like, moved a bunch of into the corner so he couldn't remake his web if he is alive. Like, they his ass up in a crazy way. And I'm not gonna lie. I actually cried. I literally shed a tear. Josiah watched me cry over my goddamn pet spider because, like, we did Grow like a relationship. Like we. I gave him meals, I gave him water. He was like a cat to me. Like I took care of him. Like he was like Maya Zul. And it's the exact same as if a Zul died. Like my spider.
Drew
You need a animal or something in your life, bro.
India
Yeah, I really do. But it was, it was, it was, it was a very dark time in my life. Especially while being concussed.
Drew
Like it's just too much to handle. Yeah, Well, I slept for 24 hours straight.
India
Oh yeah.
Drew
I don't know what happened Saturday.
India
She slept Saturday. Saturday is Sunday. What Saturdays for Saturday. Saturday.
Drew
What's his name?
India
I don't know.
Drew
Yo, Drew, what are Saturdays for?
India
Saturday?
Drew
No, Saturdays are for the Saturday.
India
Sunday.
Drew
No Saturdays.
India
We're gonna Saturday.
Drew
Yeah. I don't know why I slept 24 hours. But on Friday night, technically Saturday morning at around 2.30am, I went to bed and we were really jet lagged and we had a busy week. That's why we didn't have an episode last week. And I was so tired because we had like such long stupid ass like talking days. Like we just had to talk a bunch. So I was just so tired. I stayed up late so we could hang out with Josie before we leave for like work and stuff. And I go to sleep. I Woke up at 11 and I felt like about waking up at 11 on a Saturday, even though my plan was to spend the whole weekend just like lounging around and chilling. I Woke up at 11, I took my medication and I sat back in bed. I knocked the out. Woke up to Drew's haircut around like 4pm Said a few words to him about that. Knocked back out. Immediately I had full intentions on staying up. I just knocked back out.
India
And I thought we had a dinner later that night. So I ran to India's room and was like, bro, it is seven, you gotta wake up for dinner. And she woke up for about 10 minutes.
Drew
Yeah. And also, mind you, I was like, I think I just got kind of sick. Like I fully broke fever. Cuz when I woke up originally at 11, I had a crazy migraine. I felt nauseous. I had like sweat through all my pajamas and all my layers, but I was still really cold. It was so weird. And then Drew tried to wake me up again and he was like, I figured out that the dinner wasn't that night. And he was like, dude, you need to eat something. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to order something. Like I'm going to order soup. I Got on my phone, I don't remember knocking out, I just knocked back out. And then I woke up again at 11, 11:50pm and I was like, holy, what is happening? But I couldn't stay up because it was already late and you were already asleep because I went to the bathroom, I didn't hear anything and I was like, fuck. I guess I gotta just go back to bed because it's not like there's anything open. I don't have any food in the fridge. I'm just gonna go back to bed. I went back to bed and I Woke up at 4am and I was like, I need to at least sleep for two more hours. Slept for two more hours and woke up and just started my day at 6am and I was just like, I've never done that. I've literally never done that.
India
I mean, you were sick? Like.
Drew
Yeah, I fully broke fever and I was sweating and it felt nice. It kind of felt like again it was just going back to tradition. It felt like being like a 14 year old who was going to die of the plague. And there was something about that that my like DNA really yearned for and it felt really good.
India
I kind of love being sick, I'm not gonna lie. I love like having a cold. Like actually no, I hate colds because I have like up sinuses. So I'm clogged up for like three months after I get a cold. But like having like the flu or something is kind of like a vibe. Like, I don't know, there's something to it. Just like. I think it really just goes back to me wanting to be taken care of.
Drew
I was gonna say because the idea of it sounds good to be taken care of, but I grew up in a family that didn't take being sick serious. So I don't know what that feeling is like. And now I can't take care of people who are sick because I have, I just have where I don't take it serious from them and then I don't take it serious from myself.
India
I just have preconceived notions of like what it means to be taken care of. Like from like movies.
Drew
Yeah, I know. I'm like, I want somebody to come and put a wet rag on my head and tuck me.
India
Like if, if I was sick and there no one else in my family was sick, I would be eating spaghetti for dinner with everybody else. I wouldn't get a special little meal. No. They would be like, are you're either eating spaghetti or you're not eating?
Drew
Yeah, they'd be like, come sit up at the table.
India
And then projectile vomiting red spaghetti all over the counter. Has literally since that moment, I have not eaten spaghetti.
Drew
I love a good spaghetti, though. Well, no infantilization with this comment, but my dream is to get given a bath. But, like, you know what really triggered that, like, want for? It was in.
India
I can give you a bit. Let me give you a bat. Let me give you a bath. I'll give you a bath. Come on. I'll, like, rub everywhere. Everywhere. And I can give you touches me.
Drew
Maybe that's why I like taking baths with my, like, girlfriends who I love, because it feels like being like sisters. Like, to me, like, taking a bath with a sibling is, like, so cute. But what triggered that thought for me was in pen 15, when Maya's mom gives her a bath in that really nice bathroom. I love that bathroom in the mo. In the show. It's like a Japanese style bathroom, which is my dream bathroom. And she gives her a bath, and it's such a cute moment. And her and her mom are taking a bath. And I really want that, cuz I wish I had a mom. Mom. Okay, well, happy Thanksgiving, guys. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I hope you ate lots of food.
India
What is it gonna take for me to do something? Like, I. I will literally, for weeks be like, oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna go do this or I'm gonna do that, or I'm gonna start this painting, or I'm gonna finish this painting. I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and do it, and I'm just gonna fucking do it and get it done. Y'all, I have been talking about this goddamn painting, and every single night before I go to bed, I'm like, oh, I have some time tomorrow. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna go start painting, bitch. It has been three weeks to. It's almost been two months. It's almost been two whole months since I've picked up that paintbrush to paint. And every single night before I go to bed, I'm like, I'm gonna paint tomorrow. There is something seriously, seriously, seriously wrong with me, and I cannot do anything, and it pisses me the fuck off. Off. And if you have any goddamn advice for me other than Adderall, because I was on Adderall in high school for my ADD and it made me wallpaper, and I wanted to kill myself, and I wanted to jump out of the window in my bedroom. I don't know how y'all do it. It really, really, really turns off my brain in a way that's, like, not fun.
Drew
No. Adderall is the devil. Adderall will make me. If I'm driving my car when I'm coming down from Adderall, it will make me decide whether or not I'm gonna crash into a pool and in my life.
India
Yeah, it's.
Drew
And it's, like, really hard not to.
India
Yeah. All right, well, Drew, Psyop. You telling me a crab gooned this rag? Crab rangoon. Hashtag the underscore.
Drew
Salami meat tastes like nickels and quarters.
India
Yeah, it does. I can. And sometimes I feel like I'm eating like, a rubber bone.
Drew
Yeah, I really don't like. I like salami meat, but the taste it leaves in my mouth makes me feel like I just went outside and bit a cat.
India
Yeah. Bit a cat tendon.
Drew
Yeah.
India
Like I bit the leg, the Achilles tendon of a cat.
Drew
Exactly where I was thinking of biting the cat. Don't make me bite the cat.
India
Don't make me drink alone. Don't make me drink alone. Well, where are all my sops? There was one that. Oh, here we go. This is a tweet from Christopher at Molo Molok official. It's increasingly clear that Ellen DeGeneres was an envir. Or it is. It's. It's increasingly clear that Ellen DeGeneres was an environmentally significant apex predator in the media ecosystem. She'd have. Have already extracted or she'd have. No, I got it, I got it.
Drew
I got it.
India
I can do it. I can do it.
Drew
Try again.
India
It's increasingly clear that Ellen DeGeneres was an environmentally significant apex predator in the media ecosystem. She'd have extracted. Extracted all entertainment value from the hawk to a girl in a three minute segment and banished her back to anemone. Maintaining ecological balance. Oh, my God.
Drew
It is the realest tweet ever, though.
India
It is extremely, extremely, extremely real. And Ellen DeGeneres, you must die. Oh, my God, she must die.
Drew
Well, when Drew doesn't speak at my funeral, it is not because he is a psychopath. It is because he cannot be trusted to go up to a microphone with any written word to speak.
India
Yeah, it'll either have to come to from my heart or not happen at all. And like babe, nothing of significance comes from my heart. We are living in a sincerity epidemic, and I fear I am at the forefront of the issue. And I don't think I've been authentic or real with myself or y'all once in the last four years. Let alone my entire life. I don't know if I am a real person. I think I am a character and I think I'm lost in myself and I can't escape. But when I try to, my brain developed inside of this character. So I don't know if I am myself or if I am a character. I know you, artsy girl will have you watching a 24 films and reading.
Drew
So it'll have you do the bare minimum.
India
Yeah. Am I schizophrenic or is everyone kind of an op? Kind of an op. Congrats. This time next year, you'll be paying 10 cents less for milk. Also, your girlfriend is dead from sepsis and you've been drafted. Did. This is like. I think I've read this one before, but I have to do it again. I just called the Chinese place and said, I need 25,000 wings. They said 10 minutes.
Drew
That's good.
India
And then it's this emoji.
Drew
My curse of the week goes honestly, like, I haven't had a volatile week. Like, there's no one.
India
You've been pretty chill.
Drew
Yeah, there's no one. You guys are lucky this time. There's no one to curse. I can't think of anybody to curse. Yeah, I have a curse this week.
India
No, there's got to be someone out there that needs to be cursed. Like pop, culturally, like, I mean, it's been. We've been pretty chill, like, as a society, like recently.
Drew
Wicked has definitely tamed the minds.
India
Yeah. I want to see that goddamn movie so bad.
Drew
Oh, media popular. I honestly don't have media.
India
You're going to be popular. You're going to ride brightest horse in your simple sugar.
Drew
Hey. Love by the Del Phonics. Give me just a little more time. Chairman of the board. That's it.
India
I'm say Frosty Bjork till I die. The Beach Boys and Requiem for a Father. The dirty column. Oh. 30,100 million by Soulja Boy and Little B Ho Cakes. MF Doom. Yeah.
Drew
All right.
India
What? Did I watch any movies? I. I know. I watched like eight movies on the airplane. I watch. Watched the Notebook. Finally. Wow. Really? Wow. I thought y'all bitches were joking and exaggerating. But I fear I cried and I shed a few tears.
Drew
Yeah, I need to watch that movie. I haven't seen it since I was like 12.
India
But then I immediately forgot about it because something even more sad happened to me and. And you deleted every picture I've ever taken off.
Drew
He got it back. He got it back. I Deleted every picture.
India
It was $90 to get it back. It was.
Drew
Wait, Wasn't it actually $9?
India
Yeah. Because I had to download the software and they wouldn't let me do it for free.
Drew
I'm not paying you back.
India
But I could have gone to Sammy's camera, but I didn't find out until after I got them back. But fun fact, if you delete all the camera or photos off your SD card on accident, don't format it. Do not take any more pictures. Take it immediately out of your camera and set it on the desk. Don't rewrite any data on it. Then take that SD card. Oh, then take that SD card to your local camera shop or call them before and say, I need all the pictures put back on my SD card. Or you can go online and find a software that will do it for you. But you had to pay 80 bucks. But it worked. Some of the pictures are glitched and, like, lime green, but, like, for the most part, my favorite pictures were untouched.
Drew
Untouched.
India
Xo, let me polish your pearl.
Drew
What the hell? I saw. I saw the TV glow. That was a good one. I saw Girlfriends. It was really good. But it was kind of slow, but it was good. It was good nonetheless.
India
I saw this thing called gay porn.
Drew
What is that?
India
It's like when a man and another man do sex.
Drew
Is that real?
India
Yeah.
Drew
No. That has to be AI.
India
Bitches need to stop saying small world and just say, I him, too.
Drew
All right, bye.
