Well, okay, so if you're not watching and you're just listening, first of all, welcome to this episode. Second of all, we thought we were gonna do our big one. We came to Mexico City for like a fun thing and we were like, yes, it's gonna be such a vibe. We'll get a hotel with a nice.
A
View and we'll film the nice view. And we've been here for two days. We weren't able to record the first two days. And we were like, oh, we'll just get it at night. But we weren't able to record at night. So we're like, fuck it. We'll get it like an hour before we get on our flight and we'll just record it right this. It has not been this smoggy the entire time we've been here until we pull the goddamn camera.
B
Like we are doing it. At the perfect time where the sun just starts to directly shine. And we were like, let's just do it on the balcony, bitch. That balcony is a sauna.
A
It's so cool.
B
Should be illegal for it to training is so. Looks like we're gonna move so you guys can see us. But I just wanted to say I had a panic attack.
A
Oh, yeah, y'all in your, like, literally had a full blown conniption fit meltdown. Haven't seen her like that in a very, very long time. But tell them I got you through it.
B
I said, Drew came at the hotel we're staying at. You can't get to certain floors without a key. So Drew had to go up four flights of stairs. It was passing out on my bed while I was having a panic attack.
A
Only four flights of stairs. And I was like, oh, this is going to be easy. Like, I used, like, the stair machine before, bitch. By the time I got to India's bed and shoot, I mean, I'm not kidding. Like, she was literally. And I was like, breathe and you breathe. But meanwhile, in my head, I was like, oh, my fucking God. I literally could see my pulse in my eyes. Like, I could see my veins, and it was like, pulsing red, black and white. And I was like, if I have a fucking stroke in bed next to Enya while she's having a panic attack, and I take this moment from her because we need our moment.
B
Yeah, we need our moment.
A
And, like, I didn't want to take her shine away.
B
Yeah, I haven't had so long, so, like, I needed that. I needed that.
A
Really. You didn't need to cry.
B
I've been going through that too. I know before you got there, it was, like, visceral. It was like guttural, like you would have thought. I just found out my mom died again. Like, it was. It was a bit much. Like, I was pushing it also. Okay, we. We're going to move to the fucking bed.
A
Hold on.
B
Mind you, we have the. We have the podcast set up right now on cans. This is kind of cute, guys. We're all just chilling.
A
No, this is a cute vibe. It's a cute vibe. Am I in your head? Am I in your ears?
B
Okay, see, I'm putting this off screen, guys, seriously. Cut it, Cut it. Does the lighting look fine, though?
A
Yeah, I mean, the ju position, the duality between the last shot and this shot. This looks like it's cinema grade cinema skin rink. So, guys, we brought the wrong side skin.
B
Are you on my side? Who, bitch?
A
Who gives a. Literally actually who cares?
B
Well, I have some.
A
I am on your side, though.
B
Yeah. I feel like maybe. I don't know. I do have something to say, though, that's gonna really ruffle a lot of feathers. And actually, I'm gonna read it because I think I wrote it down the perfect way. And while I was writing it, I was like, if somebody saw this in my notes app, they would think I'm insane. I'm gonna say something so controversial right now. So, like, I am bracing for impact, but I really don't get the Paul Mezcal obsession. Like, yeah, I guess he's a cute guy, but he also just looks like a random white guy who would accidentally skip me at a cafe and then think about it the whole time in line. And then right before he's about to go up, and he would turn around and be like, oh, my God, did I skip you? I'm so sorry. You can go ahead and. I would just let him get his coffee because who the fuck cares? Get out of my face. You already skipped me.
A
I'm just now fucking realizing that Paul Mescal and Mike Pascal.
B
Who's Mike Pescal?
A
The other one. The Pascal.
B
Pedro Pascal.
A
Pedro Pascal. I just realized they're not fucking siblings. And they.
B
Cow or not.
A
I just realized they weren't s. It's.
B
Like, completely different name.
A
Isn't that Lizard in Spanish, Girl?
B
I don't think so. I don't know. You're asking the wrong person, if I'm being honest. Like, I know Spanish in the way that, like, I. I needed to survive.
A
Hold on, let me see. No, Pascal is a unit of pressure.
B
Okay.
A
Or Easter.
B
Easter, yeah. Oh, it means Spanish.
A
Like, I don't know. Whatever. I. But there's something there. Like, Lizard and Pascal. Like, I think it's like a. The name of an animated lizard character's name is Pascal.
B
I think so Maybe from, like, Rio or some.
A
No, it's from that movie with the. The girl with the long blonde hair. Rapunzel.
B
Oh, her man. Or her.
A
Her chameleon. I think his name Pascal.
B
Oh, it is. It is.
A
See, we got there. We fucking got there.
B
Being Lizard. It's a crazy combo.
A
No, but I literally fully agree. I do not get the obsession. He's just a normal guy.
B
Like, he's a good actor. Like, but I just. I don't know. I'm actually. I'm weirdly scared because, like, you bitches don't play about the people you find sexy, which I understand, because I feel like people have to fight for my right. To be sexy, too. So we all have to fight.
A
We all have a hunger.
B
We're all a part of this fight together. I feel that way, too. I feel that way, too. I feel that way, too. Dude, I really can't believe my brain this morning.
A
Yeah, it was. It was a sight. And never do that shit around me ever fucking again because, like, it was gross. You grossed me out.
B
Yeah, I'm sorry.
A
Like, when you were, boohoo, crying, having a panic attack, like, it was gross.
B
Yeah. I could feel it off of you because you, like, can't really. You couldn't hide your face. You kept looking at me, and you were like, yeah.
A
Like, literally, don't do that shit around me. You're supposed to be pretty.
B
Imagine one of us started crying. We, like, logie. I can't lie.
A
That's you.
B
I have been pushed there before.
A
That's literally you.
B
I really do have a problem.
A
Only about men. If a man cries in front of India, she's literally immediately like, I'm the. I'm an exception. Josiah is an exception. Like, we know this. We know.
B
But even y'all have your limits. Like, that's how crazy I am. Like, there have. You know. Damn. There have been times where Drew's going.
A
Through, and I'm like, girl, it is not that deep.
B
I'm like, bruh. And then I have a moment of clarity after. I'm like, I'm such a.
A
Like, also, y'all, the rat tail is still here, but it's a rattail.
B
Looks crazy right now.
A
I've been wearing it like this for the past four days because Inya fucking disappeared and wasn't there to goddamn braid my hair. And I don't know how to braid it. I know how to braid hair, but I can't braid my own hair. From the back. Hit it from the back.
B
Hey.
A
But I didn't.
B
I didn't have any dog. So, like, the way both of us.
A
Talk, dude, I didn't have any to braid it. So I'm just going to go up to the camera and show y'all, and, like, it looks. We see. We see, and we don't judge. We see and we don't judge.
B
We see and we listen.
A
Yeah, Literally. Okay.
B
It looks crazy.
A
Can you see it?
B
Yeah.
A
Yo.
B
Okay. You look so good. Oh, my God.
A
Yo, I walked through the airport like that, and I was like, if. If I'm ever gonna get randomly screened for anything in my life, like, randomly screened, it's gonna be for this tuft of hair. And I literally look like I'm carrying nuclear bombs through the fucking airport. Wasn't, by the way. But I didn't get tested. Yeah, not this time. But I didn't get tested. But when me and Josh were flying to Syracuse, I got randomly screened. I'm not kidding. They swabbed my entire body. Like, they put that fucking. Like it was like a plastic swab and they put it up my ass basically. Like, okay, yeah, I don't get that one.
B
Is it the one with the weird paper attached to it?
A
There was no paper on it. It was just like a wand that they, like, rubbed all over my body. And I was like, bitch, why would there be coke between my toes?
B
You are not slick.
A
Wait, that's kind of a, like a genius spot.
B
What?
A
Hiding drugs between your toes and your socks and your shoes.
B
I guess. But, like, how much could you really hide there? Like, what are you going to wear?
A
Four slots on either side?
B
Eight slots, but yeah, what could you fit in there? Like, I can't, like, fit like, weed or pills.
A
Eight pills, you could fit eight baggies.
B
Of that just doesn't seem worth it, like, to be smuggling that little. But I guess people smuggle drugs all the time for personal use. I always think of smuggling drugs. It's like, for resale.
A
That poor woman. I, like, watched this documentary and then I had the show India. But, like, there was this girl that kept getting, like, scammed. Like, she kept, like, falling in love online. And she was like a widow. And it was really, really sad vibes.
B
Like, I'm not laughing at her. I'm just laughing at, like, dude, I can't believe we've gotten here. Like, we've gotten to the point that people could just get online and, like, get scammed and over and over again and not learn.
A
It's so. It's really sad. And, like, she's very boomer mentality. I don't think she, like, knew that there were scams out there. She just thought she was falling in love over and over again. But, like, so the first part of this is she fell in some love with someone online and everybody in her life was like, do not send him money. Like, y'all can play, y'all can have fun, but do not send him fucking money. And what do you think she did? She sent him 250 fucking thousand dollars. $250,000.
B
Like, okay, we need to rewind because I hear too many stories about old ass people getting that much. How do you have that much money?
A
That's wealth hoarding, babe. Their houses cost like a Thousand dollars.
B
Because they bought them like fucking 1683.
A
Yeah, like, that's the wealth that is being hoarded.
B
You live in a house that's being passed down generationally. I seriously don't want to fucking look at you.
A
Yeah, but the. What was I gonna say? Oh, she sent $250,000 to this man. And then shortly after, I don't remember how, but she found out it was a scam. Well, then everybody in her life was like, oh, I'm so sorry. Like, that sucks so much balls. That sucks so many balls.
B
That sucks a huge load of balls.
A
Yeah. So then she falls in love again. She falls in love again, and everybody in her life love again and again. Literally. Charlie wrote that about this.
B
Everything is a scam.
A
But she fell in love again with this man. And it was very obviously a scam. But, like, everyone in her life was like, please just don't send them money, bro.
B
See, that's also the always. The fucked up shit is like, it's always the sexiest person you've ever seen. Like, and the person falling in love is super.
A
Just average.
B
Come on.
A
I mean, literally, if you think about it, like, everyone has made. Like, that's like the medium median, whatever.
B
I guess that is true. Like, I feel like most people because, and this is not to sound insecure or like wanting compliments, but I genuinely think I am. Like, I think I'm good looking, but I don't think I'm as hot as people think I am.
A
Yeah, no, you're definitely not. You're definitely not good looking, that's for damn sure. Like, thank you for coming to that conclusion.
B
I mean, it took a while. I wish you told me.
A
Yeah. Oh, I've tried. I've tried.
B
You've ignored it, but do you know what I mean? Like, I feel like I'm good looking, but people like, girl, it. My face is not that serious. I'm not eating that hard. Like, I think just because I'm funny. But I think it's like your personality adds to it. So I think that there are a lot of people who like, if you really look. If you really look at anyone too long, they look freaky as, like, they.
A
Just look like they look like aliens.
B
Yeah. Humans just shouldn't be alive. Like, I just look at them, I'm like, oh. He's like, my God, you're disgusting.
A
Nasty human.
B
Especially when I think about our insides. It really freaks me out.
A
Like, and how they're full of gas and they stink and they're full of poop. And they're warm and bloody.
B
Dude.
A
The warmth.
B
The warmth and stench of a human body. Like, the, like. Okay, also, like, let me. I've never smelled that. That's just my imagination. I keep seeing these funny as TikToks where it's like, somebody with OCD talking about how, like, they'll watch something crazy and someone's like, oh, my God, could you imagine that? I can't even imagine that. And then the person. That OCD is like, I can. I imagine it in, like, three seconds. I imagine every single part of it.
A
Like, literally, like, I don't have ocd, but I have, like. I have extreme paranoia is what I would describe it as. And last night, like, when I came home from our hotel, it was, like, probably 11pm and there was, like, a very strong police presence out front. And I was like, oh, whoa. Like, I wonder what went down? And then I realized, like, oh, they're here, like, guarding the hotel. And I was like, oh, that, like, absolutely horrifies me because, like, literally, why on earth would that be a thing? So I get to my room, and I'm just, like, laying in bed, and I'm starting to, like, spiral and freak out. And I'm like, wait, like, what if, like, someone, like, took over the hotel and, like, room by room, went into each room and, like, executed the people inside? And then I formulated a plan to get away, and I would go on the balcony and climb over to the other room where they just executed the people and lay in their bodies and their blood.
B
Like. You seriously thinking that I can't even get on you, though? Because I think that all the time.
A
Like, yeah, I was about to say.
B
I can't go out anywhere in the world without genuinely being convinced I'm being followed.
A
Like, no, literally, me. This morning, literally, I literally thought I.
B
Was thinking every waking moment. It is so weirdly narcissistic to, like, to be this paranoid because no one gives a fuck about us. Genuinely convinced. Like, yesterday in the Uber, my Uber just so happened to be following behind this other car that had their hazards on, and I was convinced that I had somehow ended up in, like, a Taken scenario.
A
I did the same thing. I did the same fucking thing. I was, like. I was scared to fall asleep in the car on the way to you because I was like, wait, if I fall asleep, like, they could literally just like, drive me off a cliff. Like, they could. They could just, like, take me home.
B
Oh, yeah. I will never sleep in an Uber. Do you know how many times I've been on the way to the airport. Like, fucking passing out or back home from the airport. Just, like, in the car in general. Also, my dad just made me paranoid because every time we were driving home, he would be like, make sure you look behind you to make sure the person behind you hasn't been following you for a long time. And if you feel like they've been behind you for a long time, you need to go a different way. So now I. I can't drive my car without thinking I'm being followed. I can't walk around. Like, I think I am being followed everywhere. Like, even though I feel like I accidentally follow people all the time, like.
A
In stores and shit, I mean, I literally follow people. Like, if I see, like, women, like, walking alone at night, like, what I'll do is I'll get behind them and I'll just, like, run at them full fucking speed, like, as fast as I can. Like, and, like, act like I'm gonna get them. Oh, no. It's like. It's like training. Like, I'm, like, literally, like, teaching them. Like. Like, what am I gonna do? Yeah, exactly.
B
Like, murderer boot camp.
A
Yes. I, like, chase them away, and then I find their homes, and I, like, camp out front and I tap on their windows.
B
Cubans are so funny. We literally made haunted house because we were like, oh, my God, imagine how fun it would feel to get chased by a murderer.
A
We made scary houses.
B
Like, we, like, the adrenaline we get from being scared is, like, kind of fun for us. We're like, wait, we should do that again. Yeah, I mean, we're also. We're so paranoid because we watched so many murder documentaries.
A
Yeah.
B
No, it's like, genuinely like, bitch, when I order postmates, I literally, like, I am fearful for my life.
A
You run up those damn stairs.
B
I literally run away from every postmate.
A
I didn't finish that story. So that's like. Yeah. So this woman, she falls in love a second time. Everyone is like, girl, like, are you actually fucking stupid? Like, literally, what are you doing? Like, this is obviously scam. And then she got selfies from this man, and it was very obviously a scam, but she believed it. And then this is where it gets fishy. The scammer was like, hey, like, I booked you flights to my country. Like, why don't you pull up and, like, we can hang out and, like, we'll go sightseeing, and you'll be here for two weeks. And it's all inclusive. I'll pay for anything. I'll buy you clothes if you don't have clothes. I'll buy you literally everything. And she was like, oh, wait, this sounds lit. And then everyone in her life was like, oh, wait, that sounds lit. Like, no scammer is going to spend $20,000 flying someone out.
B
Well, then, has she even FaceTimed?
A
No, they hadn't FaceTimed them. No. Literally, before I fly to.
B
Where was it?
A
I have no idea. I can't remember. Whoa. We're on camera for this one, y'all. Oh, we are so beautiful, too.
B
We want to take a break for today's sponsor, Quip. Good ass toothbrush. And a lot of y'all need a better toothbrush. I'm sorry. You should be splurging on your toothbrush. It is so important. We are freaks about our oral hygiene. It is the number one thing I think about on a daily basis before I leave the house. I refuse to not brush my teeth or use a floss.
A
And also, you are so neurotic.
B
Yeah, I don't play about my teeth hygiene. I literally can't leave the house without brushing my teeth because I'm always freaked out by it. And quip is the perfect toothbrush. Honestly, like, it genuinely is. It's electric. I've literally never had an electric. Yeah, the Quip360. Before that one, I never had an electric toothbrush, so I was always like, who cares? But, no, it has changed my whole vibe.
A
Also, my teeth were rotting out of my skull, y'all. They were falling out on the floor. And then I used the quip360, and my teeth grew back. The enamel you think gave you the teeth love. No, but in all seriousness, this thing is kind of goated it. Really? Yeah, it really is. Like, I. It sounds like I'm lying, but it's really, really sick.
B
I mean, upgrading your toothbrush really does change a lot. It's something you don't think about until you do it, and then you're like, damn, I can't believe I wasn't using this toothbrush. And that's how I feel about this one. And, yeah, a lot of y'all should tap in, because I don't want to name names, but the breath, the stinky breath, the breath on some of y'all.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay, you need to stop playing because that's literally my toothbrush. Like, Drew's, like, playing around with my toothbrush.
A
Oh, it was in my mouth.
B
You put it in your mouth? That's mine.
A
I thought this one was mine.
B

A
But anyways, the night before she gets on her flight, she gets her ticket. So she didn't know she was leaving until the night before she left. So she packs her bag, she dips, she lands in the other country and kind of goes awol like from her family. Like they don't hear from her, they don't see her. Like they're not talking to her for like about a week and they're like, cool. Like she literally flew out there, got murdered and like, is dead as dust. Like, what the hell? Well, she shows what the hell? She shows back up. And she's like, guys, this is amazing. Like literally everything's being paid for. I have a nice ass hotel. Like this is a fucking movie. And then her family's like, oh, have you met him yet? And she's like, no, red flag. I'm like, well then who are you hanging out with? Like, what are you doing? And she's like, oh, like his assistant driving me around.
B
No, literally, like I'd be like, you're.
A
You'Re literally too far gone.
B
Fuck out. Like get away.
A
So his assistants have been driving her around buying her everything. Well, she's about to leave and then the guy messages her and was like, hey, sorry I wasn't able to meet you there, but I'm flying to China. Do you want to come to China with me and I'll meet you there? And she was like, oh, hell, yes. And then everybody's like, damn. Like, this guy must be, like, loaded. Like, he's flying all around the world. Like, I think they claimed that he was, like, a doctor. Like, a doctor.
B
Was she being flown business class?
A
I don't know what she was being flown. But anyways, she gets to the airport with her luggage, and then right before she goes through security check at the airport, they hand her a suitcase full of, like, designer clothes. And she's like, what the fuck? Like, this is so lit. He wants me to be pretty for her or pretty for him when I get there. Like, oh, my God, this is, like, the greatest day of my life. Well, then she, like, FaceTimes her daughter and is like, look at all this designer clothes I'm getting. Like, they just gave it to me. And the daughter was like, please don't take that. Like, please don't take that. And then she was like, no, no, I'm gonna take it, and I'm gonna fly it home, and we get to, like, go through it together. And she was, like, thinking about her daughter, which is so fucking sweet. Well, she gets on the plane, she boards the plane. She lands in China, and then immediately she's, like, ripped away by the police. They put cocaine in every single button on every single garment. She got, like, literally every button.
B
The thing is. Is it that deep? Like, is it that necessary? Like, this coke. Like, the selling coke make you that much money?
A
And I'm, like, in. She. She's also in China, so, like, they don't fucking play about that shit. So she got locked away and, like, the highest security prison there like, literally with, like, real. Real criminals. And she had no idea she was a fucking drug smuggler the whole time. And it was all this big ruse, the first flight out, and all the hotel and all the shit that she got when she went to the first place was paid with her own fucking money that she sent the first scammer. So it was like, the same people scamming her twice. And then the people driving her around were the fucking scammers, and they just didn't. She didn't know. I'm like, bro, I would hate to be a boomer in, like, this era. Like, oh, my God. Like, bitch, no. Like, if I was, like, 30 years older, like, I would be rammed through with, like, it would be so over for me.
B
You're. You're like, bank account would be, like.
A
Constantly calling, like, hey, so you just sent $7,000?
B
Well, God will always put me in an Uber that Reeks of swamp ass and Chuck E. Cheese ball pit when he already knows I'm on.
A
The Chuck E. Cheese ball pit is crazy.
B
Like, do you know what I mean?
A
It's like dirty diaper and foot fungus.
B
So fucking nasty. Like, some cars, the view they're getting.
A
Of me right now is crazy.
B
Well, you look dead.
A
It look very, very not. Okay. But I. I can't relate why my Uber smells so good every time.
B
Actually.
A
I've literally never been in a stinky Uber. I've sat next to a stinky person on a plane.
B
But, no, I get the stinkiest fucking Ubers, and, like, yesterday gotten one, and it literally, I got in it. And then I realized I got out the wrong stop, so I went back to go, like, ask him if I could add a stop. And I think the second I left, he let out a huge fucking shitty bar and smell. Like, in the three seconds I was out of the car, he himself, like, back in the car, and I was like, bro. And also, God bless his soul, he helped me get my bag out of the car, but his whole ass cheeks were out. Like, it didn't look like he was wearing underwear.
A
I could never get in a fight, like, physically, because I would be so scared my ass was gonna. Like, my ass crack would be showing the whole time because, like, that shit is so humiliating to me when I see people fighting and they're showing while you're fighting.
B
Well, fighting as an adult is just crazy.
A
No, it's really cooked. But the tea is. Is, like, I've accidentally been, like, showing ass crack, like, recently. Yeah. Like, I don't know what it is. I don't know. I really don't know what it is, Drew. No, not right now. Not right now.
B
Okay.
A
But, like, I'll just catch myself. Like, when we were in New York, I was like, my ass crack is out.
B
You know what? Actually, I do. I had to stop wearing some of my other jeans because my ass crack would be out, and I don't like. And even in these pants, I was wearing a thong. The other day, I was sitting on the curb, and I felt, where is.
A
That thong that you were wearing the other day?
B
I already sold it. I was wearing it to sell it. Yeah, I mean, I sell it for a good price. It's, like, decent. It's, like, 25 bucks a pop, babe.
A
I could get you, like, 150. Should we start a business?
B
No, I think it's. It's more of a passion project.
A
You're not in it for the money.
B
I am in selling my underwear for the passion of it.
A
Yeah, it's like, it's not.
B
I don't want it to become my full time job. I'll lose my stamina. Oh, cool. My phone's broken.
A
Oh, right, right.
B
No, it's literally like I can't look at my notes.
A
I have to talk into it. I have to talk to a fart. Talk to it. Kai was on Talking Talk to it. Did you see that? Do you know what talking talk to is? It's literally like these people that talk about the podcast that Talk to a released and they talk about it very analytically and like you can barely tell they're joking, but it's like all a joke. And Kai went on and acted like he got scammed by the Talk to a coin.
B
That's. Wait, there's talk to a coin?
A
Yeah, there was a hock to. Oh, and you don't know about this, Anya? I wish Kai was here to explain it better. But basically talk to was convinced and she put out her own like cryptocurrency meme coin and it shot up. Like, I think it was like the highest it got was 5 million dollar valuation. And I think her and her team owned like 78% or 98% of the coin. Fucking rug pulled everybody. And now she's like. She was under fire for like three days because she was like, she just like her. I don't think it was her. I don't think it was Haley Welch. I think the people that convinced her to make the coin, they probably told.
B
Her that that's what people do. Yeah, that's what everyone does, which is what a lot of people do. But it's like not.
A
I feel like. I don't think she was. I don't think she was privy to it. I don't think she was like, that's like me just like giving her the benefit of the woman of the hoxtua girl. But she did do this. She did this like in interview on like Twitter with a bunch of people. Like that one Coffee Godzilla or whatever the fuck he and her were talking. And at the very end, her and Coffeezilla. Yeah, because Coffee Zilla is like making a video about it. But hock to, she has this one.
B
Audio, like, let me clear my fucking name before coffee.
A
No, she. She literally. I'm not kidding. This made me love her so much. Like, her reaction to like the spaces because she didn't speak at all until like basically the very end.
B
I interrupt you, Nick. Hello there. But anywho, I'm Going to go to bed and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
A
That's her voice. And I was like, bitch, is that AI? I was like, no, literally, that. They just.
B
That's how she talked.
A
And I was like, oh, my God. Like, she should be a voice actor for, like, a little boy.
B
She reminds me like a. Like, hey, guys. Like, it reminds me of, like, a. A character from, like, Smiling Friends who would, like, come out of the corner or something. Or, like, the boss. It sounds like the boss from Smiling Friends.
A
But yeah, she. She rug pulled. But what were we talking about right before that? It doesn't matter.
B
Scammers and you farting into your mic and giving yourself.
A
I gave my mouth pink ass.
B
Oh, cuz we were talking about how stinky Ubers I get in our. I think I just have bad luck with Ubers.
A
Something so, so, so special, near and dear to my heart happened, and we haven't gotten to talk about it yet. We both know what happened, but I don't think any of them really know. But we were in Grindr wrapped 2024, y'all. We were in Grindr wrapped 2024 as the fifth most liked and voted upon podcast on Grindr. Sorry, the church app gag.
B
Like, literally, like, wait, I think I texted you about. I was like, wait, why am I actually, like, so honest?
A
No, I was like, genuinely on.
B
Also, I was thinking about this yesterday because I've just been doing a bunch of random work, so I've been, like, in rooms, meeting new people. I was thinking about last night. I only give a fuck about gay people. Like, I literally, like, I will leave a space and be like, I love this person. I love this person. It's the only gay people in the room. Like, it literally, like, I love gay people.
A
I love gay people.
B
No, literally, the camera stopped. But no, there literally is just, like. There is a certain level of brain rot, and there's a specific kind of brain rot that gay people have. And it's like, just like, I'm speaking as an outsider.
A
Yeah, me too. Me too. Me too.
B
We're speaking as outside.
A
Yes.
B
But there is, like, just. If you land anywhere on the gay spectrum, whether it's, like, bisexual but leaning even more towards men or, like, vice versa, if you're a girl, like, blah, blah, blah, like, like, if you got a little pinch of gay in you, that means everything your iPhone shows you is gay. And that means that all of our brains are synced up. And that's literally.
A
It's a hive mind.
B
Yeah, it's literally just like, A hive mind.
A
It's.
B
It is like the, like, weird kid club in school. Like, all the kids I knew in school who I really had connections to were gay.
A
Like, literally every single people.
B
I'm sorry.
A
Literally also, like, every single gay person I know is the most creative person I've ever met. Like, that's like. And it's because, like, we had to fight for this shit, bitch. Or they had to fight for that shit. They had to fight for it. But I rewatched Paris is Burning. That is one of the greatest documentaries of all time. It is so harrowing. It's so just. Oh, rough. But it's so good. And it's like a real. If you haven't seen it, such good documentation, too.
B
Like, it's really incredible. Like, people who have it in their head to just document things that they can see. Like, they have such good hindsight on in the moment. Like, they know that years to come, that is going to be a historical moment, and they just decide to document it. That is so impressive to me, and it's so awesome. Also, I'm back to finding, like, random men attractive.
A
Like, who the fuck is this?
B
Like, not random men. When I say random men, I.
A
You mean the CEO killer.
B
The CEO killer in Timothy Shop. I'm like, maybe, like, men are fun. They're fun.
A
Literally, I'm not. It's like Twinkman that you're still obsessed with that are very feminine. But I literally am not kidding. Like, in the very beginning, I was like, I wasn't anti Timothee Chalamet, but I was like, I don't see the hype. Like, I really don't get it. But I didn't really do a deep dive into his lore and see all the videos of him and, like, see his interviews and shit. And, like, when you sent that video of him, like, a few days ago, I kind of like went down the rabbit hole a little bit and I was like, wait, he's like a nerdy little freakazoid. Like, he's so chill. He's a vibe. But that's my twin. Like, we go way back. Like, New York City. Like, we really ran shit for a while. And, like, we would go around like, Jimmy's our boy. Yeah. Literally. Like, the craziest thing is, is, like, these posts surfaced of him running around New York City to meet, like, these really obscure NBA players. Bitch. Little do y'all know, but I was a part of it. I was literally the one taking the picture. Yeah, I orchestrated the whole fucking thing because I was like, I know Timmy's going to be a star. Like, he had star qualities from when he was very young and everyone around him just knew that. So we, like, really propped him up and, like, he kind of owes a lot of his career to me.
B
I like laughing at the idea for some God forsaken reason this would ever cross his path. I'm so curious if he would be like, that's funny. Or if he'd be like, these people are fucking psychos.
A
They're psychos.
B
Nah, we fuck with you, bro. Like, let's chill, let's chill. That's about the biggest star on the planet. Like, yo, we fuck with you. Like, let's chill, let's chill.
A
Let's hang out, get to know each other and then like, pop you on the pod.
B
You fuck with us. Yeah, we're hella chill.
A
Oh, my God. Wait, I forgot to tell you. Speaking of New York City, I was like, running around. Me and Josh were filming something, something very special. And also, like, I know y'all saw like a bunch of clips and pictures of me in the big ass hat. Like, I was walking around fucking New York City, like, in that big hat for four days. And everyone was like, damn, he's like wearing this, like, unironically now. Like, he actually fucks with it. No, we were filming shit. And I didn't have any other way to fucking.
B
I mean, you can't carry that hat.
A
Yeah, it's too big.
B
It's not a hat you take out for filming. And then, like, you can't.
A
You.
B
You either have to take it home or you have to wear it.
A
Exactly. But like, the last day we were in New York, we were just getting some shots and like, we went to Walgreens to pick up your meds, actually. And we were standing, like, right outside the Walgreens, like, just like planning out, like, what we were going to do next. And it was getting dark and cold. And then this, like, random dude, like, around our age pulls up on and is like, hey, I'm on crack. And I had the big hat on. He was like, I smoked crack. And I was like, oh, shit, man, that's crazy. I was like, oh, what? And he was like, he saw my reaction. He was like, well, not crack. Like, I smoked like crack rocks. Like, it was like, basically cocaine. And like, he started explaining himself and I was like, oh. And he's like, I feel like God. Like, I think I'm God right now. And I had the big hat on. And I was like, bitch, I'm gonna troll a Little bit. And I was like, bitch, me too. I feel like God every single day. Like, what are you talking about? And he was like. He, like, zeroed in on me and he was like, wait, you feel like God? Are you God? And I was like. I was like, no, no, I'm just kidding, man. I'm not. And he's like, are you God? I think you're God. Like, I think you're God. Like, you're God, aren't you? You're God. You're God. You're God. And I was like, oh, my God, what did I do? And then, like, Josh had his big ass fucking camera, and I was just like, we gotta dip. So Josh starts, like, zipping up his bag, and we start walking away. And he's like, I'm gonna follow you, God. Like, I'm following you. And he started fucking following us. And then we started speed walking. Cause I was like. And then I whispered to Josh, and I was like, bitch, like this little fucking twerp, if he tries anything, I will beat the shit out of him. And it's the first time in my life, Anya, where I was like. Instead of. Like, I was in Fight or Flight. And instead of flighting, I was like, bitch, I'm gonna fucking brawl right now. Like, I will beat the shit out of this fucking.
B
Well, he's on fucking crack, so he's gonna kill you.
A
No, he was. He was really tiny, had, like, really slouch shoulders, bad posture. He looked, like, really put together. And I was like, like, what are you doing? But then me and Josh started theorizing. We think he might have seen the camera and he was doing a prank. And I think we got pranked. And I look like a in this prank because we, like, scurry away like little roads.
B
But was he, like, recording?
A
Well, I think I'm what we're thinking. He's had. He had like, a lav mic on. Like, a mic on. And someone was, like, recording, like, across the street or some. And it was like a prank. But if it wasn't, it was the most ominous thing in my life. But if it was a prank, bitch, I was gonna beat the out of you anyway, so don't try me. Like, if that video comes out. If that video comes out, just know I wasn't scared, right? I wasn't scared at all. And my voice is quivering and I'm tearing up, and I'm like, just, let's go, let's go.
B
You're like, let's go.
A
Zip up the background.
B
That's so funny. I don't. I haven't had any weird moments like that recently. But like in the hotel when I was alone, I was coming up to my room and I was convinced a man was following me. He was not following me. Like no one, no one has followed me.
A
No one gives a fuck.
B
No one's following me.
A
Right. No one gives a from having my.
B
Panic attack and crying that hard. I'm getting like a little sleepy. Like, you know when you like, sob and then you're just tired.

B
Well, what I have to say is actually, I have a few things to say. All right, Bye, guys.
A
Yeah, bye. Peace.
B
Okay, first of all, I am sorry that it was such a limited amount. We genuinely didn't expect people to want it, especially because it was a collab with, like, a higher end company and.
A
We didn't really have say.
B
Yeah, we had no say on the.
A
Prices, and we were like, on prices or on quantity.
B
Yeah, we didn't really have a say on anything. So we were like, oh. But because they were priced higher, we were not anticipating people to want it because we understand that, like, those are higher marked prices. Like, it's not cheap pieces. So we didn't really fight for more. And now I wish we did, but also, like, we'll do more things. And I am so grateful that you guys even liked it that much.
A
That, like, the reaction I was like, I know.
B
I'm like, I'm so shocked. Also, if you want to know where my mental health is at, I. The other night had a complete, like, freak out, but in a positive way, but in a really funny way that I was recording myself. And at the end of it, I caught myself. I was like, it sounds like I'm giving an assistant, like. Like a speech for winning the, like, my best life award. Like, I feel like I. I feel like I've stepped into the realm of living that, like, I got all my goals completed and now I'm just, like, getting the cherries on top and, like, the dream part of it. And I've been thinking so much about, like, the world we navigate in and having, like, this audience and kind of, like, navigating this almost parasocial thing where sometimes I don't. I don't like to be too open anymore because I think it makes us vulnerable. And, like, I don't want anybody to feel like I'm using that vulnerability to grab onto them. For Parasol, it's like my. My brain goes like, 1,000 miles an hour when I think about, like, how I want to talk to our audience. But I have been thinking about it, and I'm just like, dude, I am so grateful. And, like, yeah, that's it. Like, I don't know. I feel like we've, like, crossed into this territory, like, very suddenly, which. I don't know, maybe I'm just, like, opening my eyes for the first time in, like, the past three years. I've always known we've had, like, such an. An active audience who really liked us and cared about what we do, but I'm just like, damn, dude, you Guys, like, actually really fudge with us. And I fudge with you guys. And also, I was thinking, like, it is funny, me, I almost feel like with every relationship, I carry, like, too much of a parental status in it. Like, I know you very cautious about the way I maneuver it. So, like, the way I feel about our audience is, like, when parents know they're doing good for their kids, but they don't point it out because they want their kids to just think that's how life should be and, like, things are good or whatever. But I'm like, no, I am so thankful. And in way I feel like when. When parents are like, my child actually.
A
Taught me things like no litter.
B
That's how I feel about our audience, which is so funny. But yeah, I just wanted to say thank you because also, I saw a really nice tick tock the other day talking about me, which always shocks me. And also even saying this, I just, like, my OCD comes out and I'm genuinely terrified that now I'm saying thank you. My whole life is going to crumble and everything's going to fall away and, like, I'm going to lose everything I love and enjoy. But that would be okay, I guess. I don't know. I'll be here because I'll have my base. But I am so thankful. Like, I don't know. You guys are insane. And sometimes I just have, I think, bad imposter syndrome. And I'm like, I don't know why you guys like us so much, but I am so grateful for it. Like, every now and then I'm like, bro, I am not that chill. Like, I am not that cool. But I really appreciate it. Yeah, I've just been feeling very grateful, especially with, like, the opportunities, like, a heaven situation or just, like, all of the opportunities me and Drew have been getting recently.
A
Life changing.
B
Y'all were the only people who actually gave a and, like, believed in us. So with your belief, I now believe.
A
Yeah, exactly what Enya said. Look how vulnerable I can be. Like, I can reiterate what Inya said. Look what Enya said.
B
Okay, well, then there is not a Beta. Many words, but his presence alone says so much.
A
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
B
But last thing I'll say is Wicked changed my life. Like, I already said it last week. I think I don't even remember the last time we did an episode. I think I talked about seeing Wicked. I. I have been listening to that soundtrack a night wrong.
A
Your cooks.
B
Like, no one minds the Wicked. Like, I listen to it. That's my, like, Getting Ready album right now. Yeah, I listen to it for what.
A
The hell I. I wake up in.
B
The first thing I. I mean, I can. In goodness.
A
I can't even really hate because, like, that's no different from me listening to the Social Network soundtrack, like, on repeat. Social Network and Gone Girl soundtrack.
B
Well, it's. Because that's a little more sexy. It's like fun, like, cool ambient music. And mine is literally like, me spinning in the bathroom and like, painting. Like, I literally, like, I dance around to it.
A
Like, I listen my headphones.
B
I love it. It's so.
A
I love it and I really want.
B
To see it again.
A
Like, I know I need to see it badly. And my parents went and saw it and both of them cried. But I didn't know they had seen Wicked. I was supposed to see Wicked, but the one fucking play I backed out of with him.
B
I mean, kind of fun. Because I will say, like, I know a lot of people are always like, oh, I can't believe. No, like, they don't know what's gonna happen in Act 2. They haven't seen the musical. I kind of like that, though, because.
A
I like that and I already know what's gonna happen. It's so easy to, like, like, know what happened.
B
Yeah, it's easy to, like, guess and put the pieces together. But also, I haven't put any brain thought towards the storyline because I want to be gagged. Because the way I was gagged when.
A
I saw Speaking of Wicked.
B
Nessa.
A
Nessa. Nessa, Literally, the girl that plays Nessa follows me and Enya, which, like, I saw that I was gagged by it. But then pictures from her Instagram account showed up. Bitch, we had taken pictures together in like 20 fucking 14. Like, so sick. I feel like I met a celebrity so special. So special you met a celebrity before.
B
The celebrityism had dawned.
A
But Marissa shout out you. And she did comment on the picture of us because it kind of went. It, like, kind of went on tick tock. And people were like, talking about it. And she went to the pictures she posted from 2014 and she's like, God damn it, I'm gonna be on emergency intercom. And I was like, yo, you will.
B
Be like, probably the worst press for, like, anybody in, like, a major blockbuster right now. It's like, fuck, they're gonna talk about emergency intercom. Jesus Christ.
A
Goddamn it.
B
You're the goat.
A
You're the goat. For real to go.
B
Such a good movie. Like, literally just what a fucking movie. And I'm going to see it again.
A
Yeah, a hundred times.
B
That's my.
A
Also, I think it's the highest grossing musical movie adaptation of all time. Like Les Misrables or whatever the fuck.
B
I don't give it.
A
Yeah, that one. But then Mamma Mia. I think still has it beat, but by the end it'll beat it out, which is so gag worthy, but. All right, Drew Psy up corner A. I know y'all are cold in those sheen coats. She immersion my enter till I calm.
B
Classic.
A
That one ate.
B
That one's classic.
A
Oh, is that a classic?
B
I think you've said that one before.
A
Oh, bitch, I wrote it down. And I was like, whoa, I cooked. Who cooked here? Call me celibate the way I don't give a fuck. That was from Mia Yalls coochie. Yalls coochies don't look fat in those leggings. That's a ball of hair. It's from Gwendolyn. Those BBL caskets are going to look like guitar cases. That's from Michaela. And I think she made that one up because she sent it in. She typed it out. Yeah, but that's literally. That's good. Also. One last thing is I've been journaling a lot recently. Like, really, really journaling and keeping, like, a ledger of what I'm doing throughout the days and throughout my weeks and, like, what I got planned. First of all, life changing. Second of all, I was thinking how, like, iconic it's going to be to look back at these times and, like, to be able to go through my journal because I got a Louise Carmen. I know, like, whatever. Like, like not bragging, kind of am. Because they're so fucking sick. And I was at the store and I got the bill.
B
I mean, investing, like, it's such an investment thing, but investing in that has made me journal.
A
I know.
B
Literally, I make it a point to pull out my journal now because I'm.
A
Like, it comes with me everywhere.
B
This. There was too much money spent here. This must be used.
A
Yeah, it has to be used. But I was like, it also has made it so easy because I can just like, take out one of those journals and put another one in. And I was like, oh, it's going to be, like, so cool in 20 years to, like, go through and be able to look back at, like, exactly what I was doing on what day I was doing it and how I felt on those days. Yeah, like, all that shit. And I was like, whoa, I need.
B
To get better at journaling when I'm happy because all of my journal entries are just, like, me being fucking scary.
A
I think that's valuable. But also, I think it'll be annoying.
B
Because I'll be like, damn, ho. You don't have nothing good to say.
A
Like, dude, literally, I, like, was on the phone with my mom because I call her, like, basically every single day, or she calls me. And, like, she was like, we were just talking, and then, like, I don't know what it is about being on the phone with my mom, but, like, for something. For some reason, like, something clicks in my brain and I just, like, trauma dump, like, every single time I talk to her, which I know is very unhealthy and very unfair to her. And I'm actively working on it. I know. But, like, I've got. I was really good about it for, like, a whole year, and then the last, like, two weeks of my life have been, like, a living nightmare. Good, good shit. But just, like, a lot of shit.
B
Yeah. It's just overwhelming.
A
Yeah. Overwhelming. And so I was just like. Literally, what you did this morning, I did on the phone with my mom, like, four days in a row. And she was like, drew, can you shut the fuck up? Like, can actually. Actually. Shut up. Chill out. Like, the last four calls we've had have been completely negative. I need you to take a step fucking back, take a breath and tell me something good in your life. And I was like, damn. Like, I. Sometimes I just need to be yelled at by my mama.
B
Like, that's so sweet. I know. That's like me telling my therapist to make it a point that I have to say something good to her every time we talk. Cause I'm like, come on.
A
Come on, please. I forgot about that until. Yeah, you just said that. That's so funny. Okay, last thing is rfk. Count your fucking days. I'm not kidding. Count your fucking days, you old fucking bag. You're gonna die.
B
I think every episode for the past four episodes. You' doubt a threat to RFK junior.
A
Literally. Secret Service is going to pull up soon. I'm not actually fucking crazy, but, like, really count your fucking days. Because now they're talking about banning Red 40. They're talking about banning all my dies. They're talking, like, they're really, really getting down to, like, the nitty gritty of banning all this shit, which is like, I mean, maybe ultimately good. No, it's ultimately good. It's a net positive. But I'm like, it's just when I go to Europe. When I go to Europe and I have a European Coke, it is. Is the Saddest, Nastiest, like, fakest. Nastiest, grossest thing I've ever had in my goddamn life. And I come back to America. I know. I literally. I just want the high fructose corn syrup. I'm sorry. It's like drugs. I'm like, decriminalized drugs. Let people do what they want with their goddamn body. Decriminalize red 40 and decriminalize red 40. And that's really, like, the tip I'm on. Like, it's my body. I should be able to destroy it if I want to. I should be able to put in whatever die I want, but I know it's gonna be good.
B
