Oh, my God.

[Olivia]

Thank you guys so much for having me.

[Jordan Myrick]

That was truly a treat.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

We film in the same place, so we just had to literally sit here.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

And then it was beautiful.

[Jordan Myrick]

So nice. So convenient.

[Olivia]

So nice.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I think we all have, like, we're not the same. We are different, but I feel similar. Do you know what I mean?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like, I feel like we have, like, good common ground.

[Olivia]

Yeah. There's vibes in common.

[Kendall Landreth]

You mean as people or like podcasts?

[Jordan Myrick]

I guess both people.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, what do you think is, like the. Like, okay, you meet us. What do you think is like, the same about you guys and us?

[Syd]

I feel like you guys are our cousins. Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's how you feel?

[Olivia]

I feel that way because of the blood test that we did after the biological cousins. Yeah, I feel that way because the blood test.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Just like, it's like when we met you, we were like, yeah, of course.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Who do you think is the who? Because we always in. I know you guys are not married, but whenever we go out with couples, we're like, without fail, no matter who it is, no matter what the age is, there's always one person who's exactly like me. And one person.

[Olivia]

It's already very clear, I think.

[Kendall Landreth]

Hmm. I think it is very clear. But I don't wanna base it off one.

[Olivia]

I don't wanna base it.

[Syd]

I guess the thing we have to say is that you had mentioned that there was a farm game that you're obsessed with.

[Kendall Landreth]

Thank you for saying mentioned and making it sound casual, as if I wasn't like, you guys. Please.

[Syd]

Yeah. And then I fell into a deep hole, and now I'm very much so addicted to said farm game.

[Jordan Myrick]

And we both support you, and we both support you, and we are both mentally ill. Yeah.

[Olivia]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. There you go.

[Olivia]

So that's how it.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

How can.

[Kendall Landreth]

But it's. You guys can't be the mentally ill ones because I am paying and you're not. Far from it. I am paying to get more fake money on a fake farm.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. I guess we're mentally ill in a.

[Olivia]

Different way than you guys.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

And guys, hair color and Hair color.

[Kendall Landreth]

Is it natural? Yeah, I would put it to my hair.

[Syd]

Is it natural?

[Olivia]

Question. Is my hair natural?

[Kendall Landreth]

Please, Someone tells me.

[Jordan Myrick]

Can you guys see me? Yes or no? Am I wearing a wig?

[Syd]

Am I here?

[Jordan Myrick]

And your hair is natural?

[Olivia]

Yep.

[Jordan Myrick]

Me too.

[Kendall Landreth]

Really beautiful hair.

[Olivia]

Yeah, I know, right? My dad has like black hair and my mom has very dark brown hair. My brother has red hair. Who knew how the redheads really?

[Kendall Landreth]

Grandfather sneak into a family.

[Olivia]

Yeah. Yeah. He's a six foot tall redhead. It's like, what?

[Jordan Myrick]

I do not understand how recessive traits work.

[Olivia]

I love genetics.

[Kendall Landreth]

Really?

[Olivia]

Yeah. Because you just make a table.

[Syd]

Yeah, it's the boxes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I remember that from school, which it does feel interesting that we learned that in school. Right?

[Olivia]

I love.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

Love genetics. It's so. It's such a cool. It's just fun. It's like a video game. Maybe that's my video game. Making genetic charts of people who will never have kids. Trying to figure out what the probability of what their kid will look like.

[Jordan Myrick]

You need to do that for us.

[Olivia]

Yeah. Well, if I can get some information on your parents. Sure.

[Jordan Myrick]

Ask. What are the questions?

[Olivia]

Well, I'll just.

[Syd]

Any diseases?

[Jordan Myrick]

A bunch.

[Syd]

That's like, probably a big one.

[Olivia]

I'll just need like, you know, it depends on what you want to find out. Like if you want to find out eye color, it's like, well, what. What are your parents?

[Syd]

Yeah, it's crazy. Genetics are like such a crazy thing because it's e. Like, what eye color? Or it's like, how will you die?

[Olivia]

It's really kind of crazy.

[Syd]

Really insane.

[Olivia]

Because you have blue eyes, which is recessive.

[Kendall Landreth]

I have green.

[Olivia]

You have green eyes, which is recessive.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, but everyone says they're blue. And I always go, they're green. But now I'm starting to be like, well, if everyone's saying they're blue, maybe I'm incorrect.

[Olivia]

I'm far away.

[Syd]

They can also change with like what you're wearing.

[Jordan Myrick]

True.

[Syd]

Mine do that.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, wow. You have blue eyes.

[Syd]

Yeah, but kind of like sometimes they look fucking gray.

[Kendall Landreth]

Grayish blue.

[Syd]

They just like change depending on what I'm wearing. And today I'm wearing a shirt that says rich slut.

[Kendall Landreth]

And that could be blue.

[Jordan Myrick]

They have to be blue.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, I remember being in science class when I was in seventh grade, Ms. Sale's class. I was. It was the first. I cheated in that class.

[Syd]

Ms. Sale.

[Kendall Landreth]

Mrs. Sale.

[Jordan Myrick]

That class I cheated in.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, it was kind of my first big cheating moment. And then that kind of continued through until I Graduated.

[Olivia]

How did you cheat?

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, and that. That one was more of. It was a quiz. Looking back, I'm like, I really should have just, like, kept it to myself, right? But I. I was just so bad at school, and I would study so hard. And I'm not trying to make excuses, but it's like, people would show up for these tests, and no one would, like, have even looked at the textbook. And they'd all get 10 out of tens, and I would be getting zero out of tens, and I would have actually studied, which is very hard. So I look over and I was, like, cheating off the guy next to me. By the time I was a senior, I was. I was, like, stealing Scantrons and stuff. Wow. Bad, naughty stuff. And my grades were still very bad, which is the saddest part of it all.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, because I would.

[Kendall Landreth]

I remember I would try to cheat, but I would try to do it in a way that was like, I know what my teachers will believe. So I'm not gonna get an A on a test. I'm even gonna get a B plus. Like, we gotta do a C plus or B minus.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I had to cheat to do that, which is really sad. But I went up to Ms. Sil.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I was like, I cheated.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I was sobbing, and I was, like, so upset. And she was like, it's really fine. Just keep it. Just. You're not gonna do well in this class anyway. She's like, you're cheating and you're still.

[Jordan Myrick]

Getting a C minus. That's just fine. Keep it on.

[Kendall Landreth]

But in her class, she was teaching about jeans. And I remember her talking about eye color. And I, like, convinced myself in class that my dad was not my father. Like, I was literally like, okay. I got really quiet, and I was like, yep. So I don't know who my dad is. Cool.

[Syd]

In the middle of, like, a lesson and being like, wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, you know when you look back on your childhood, you go, well, who was that?

[Jordan Myrick]

Who was that man?

[Kendall Landreth]

Who was that man?

[Jordan Myrick]

Who's that man that was around?

[Kendall Landreth]

And I'm sure it's just a friend.

[Syd]

But you're like, wait, who was.

[Olivia]

I don't look. I've never seen this, but I have that. But I'm so curious.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, you know, you see a photo from. When you're three and there's just a person holding you, and you're like, who.

[Olivia]

Who is you?

[Syd]

Okay, yeah, I get that. I get that. Not like a man living in my.

[Kendall Landreth]

My house.

[Syd]

There's just this rotating door of men and you're like, who was that?

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, great.

[Jordan Myrick]

I. I did. I feel like I had a lot of. Where people would be like, that's your aunt. So? And so. And I'd be like, how are we related to them? And it would be like, we're not. I'm, like, not related to anyone. But everyone's my aunt and everyone's my uncle.

[Kendall Landreth]

And she worked with your mother. She had to live with us for a while, like.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I'm not related to any of them. And I'm like, I don't understand how they factor into our family.

[Syd]

Do you still know them? To this day, yes. Okay, great.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Syd]

Well, then that's beautiful.

[Jordan Myrick]

My family.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Um. But I always knew who my dad was. Sorry, Kendall.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, I knew who my dad was, but I remember sitting in class, I was very loud. I was very, like, you know, extroverted in school, and I just got really quiet, and everyone's like, are you okay? I was like, yeah, no, I'm totally fine. And I just remember the rest of the day being like, I don't know who my father is. And then I went home, and, like, I think I told my mom or I told my sister or someone, and they were like, no, you misunderstood. You don't understand how the science of it works. But I so quickly was like, my father's not my dad. And this is.

[Syd]

What was the thing that made you think that?

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't even remember how. He has bright. He had bright blue eyes.

[Syd]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Really blue eyes, so.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you have.

[Olivia]

It actually does make perfect sense that you would have.

[Syd]

Okay, so you really weren't doing well in this class.

[Jordan Myrick]

No. And I know part of Some might say.

[Kendall Landreth]

But do you ever kind of like, as a kid, you, like, hoped something was wrong? Like, okay, like, they. Oh, yeah, they do. They do the colorblind test. And you're like. You're like. Some part of you is like, I really hope I'm colorblind.

[Syd]

Okay. But you know what? That is? And it's. I think we see it in spades. And adults, we just, like, don't really know what to say about it. But it's like, when something's bad, people give you more attention than when something is good. So when you're a kid, you're like, God, I wish I broke my arm because everyone could sign my cast, and it's like, ew.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Or like, we'd go get the scoliosis test, and you're kind of like, bending over being like, is it going to be me? As if any Kid with scoliosis has ever been like, hot kid of the class. Scoliosis.

[Syd]

I can tell you the brace doesn't make you hot. Because I had one.

[Olivia]

No, but the.

[Syd]

When I was in fourth grade and I went to the eye doctor, I was like, um, I can't see. And then I got that. So Raven glasses. And it ruined my eyesight. And to this day, I have terrible eyes.

[Olivia]

Wait, I didn't even know that.

[Syd]

Yeah, but I literally faked it on the first test. Cause I was like, oh, I'm just so different. Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, that's like. There's an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras where this coach. This doesn't matter, but this coach of. Thank you so much. This coach of all these little princess girl pageant girls takes them to see the eye doctor pre pageant. You can tell one of those moments are just like, how do we make this a long episode? Take them to the.

[Olivia]

They all.

[Jordan Myrick]

We've 32 commercials and we have about six minutes of content.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes. And so she goes, and she was like, every single member of. It was. Cambry's Court was the name of her team. Every single member of Cambry's court has really bad eyes. And I remember watching it being like, they're all lying. Because I remember being that child being like pretending not to be able to see for attention. Very disturbing. But this one I kept to myself. The recessive gene. I was like, even this, Even if I want it to be for attention, I'm not even ready to share it yet.

[Syd]

But you shared it with your family when you got home.

[Kendall Landreth]

I came home and I told you.

[Olivia]

You traumatized yourself. You were that.

[Syd]

That concerned?

[Kendall Landreth]

I was concerned. Yeah. I was very concerned.

[Syd]

And they were like, this is founded in nothing.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. They said very, very. Maybe they should have. I don't know. Maybe if I found out later I was right, I'm gonna be really like, I'm gonna be really upset because a lot of my family aren't scientists either. I'll say.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

I'm so sorry.

[Jordan Myrick]

I do need to know. Okay, so if Kendall and I had a baby, biologically, if that was possible, what would the baby look like?

[Syd]

What color are your eyesy poos?

[Kendall Landreth]

Green.

[Syd]

Green. Oh, wait, you guys would have beautiful.

[Olivia]

What do your parents have green?

[Jordan Myrick]

My mom has brown eyes and my dad has blue eyes.

[Olivia]

Yeah. There's a huge chance that you guys would have a blue eyed or green eyed kid.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Hair.

[Olivia]

What color are your parents hair?

[Kendall Landreth]

Brown. And my dad had brown hair. It's hard because he had gray hair. For so long. And I'm like gray, but he's brown. Do you know when he started graying early and balding?

[Jordan Myrick]

Same. My dad didn't bald. My dad has so much hair. But my dad went fully white at like 25.

[Olivia]

Oh my gosh. My grandfather, who was the redhead.

[Jordan Myrick]

Really?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow.

[Jordan Myrick]

Brother.

[Olivia]

He's like 25, but totally redhead.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow.

[Olivia]

Totally.

[Syd]

Still, some people just have that gene too. You just get gray or like.

[Olivia]

It's kind of fun though, when someone gets gray that young. It's got like the, the Steve Martin moment. Yeah.

[Syd]

Anderson Cooper.

[Olivia]

Yeah. There's like a hotness to it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, tell us one more thing about what our child would be like.

[Olivia]

Your parents have both dark hair.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Olivia]

So yeah, there's a. I would say that there's a pretty good chance that you guys would have a dark haired, blue eyed baby.

[Syd]

Well, your baby's Megan Fox.

[Olivia]

Which would be Megan Fox.

[Syd]

Dark hair, blue eyes. That's Megan Fox.

[Olivia]

And then you guys could capitalize off of that. Of course.

[Kendall Landreth]

And we would.

[Olivia]

And make a lot of money off of your child's attractiveness.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely.

[Syd]

That's huge.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Momagers to baby Megan Fox.

[Kendall Landreth]

This is huge.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

Let my child be an actor. Like a child actor. I don't think. But I would put my baby in commercials.

[Olivia]

Oh, fun.

[Kendall Landreth]

You know what I mean? I'm like, my baby from 0 to 9 months would be working every day.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Olivia]

Because you're not even gonna remember that.

[Syd]

They're not even alive yet.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, they're not. They're there to make the money back. And then the second memory. I say no more. You will never. You'll Montessori school, you know, have no idea.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

You only hold rocks and wood and that's all.

[Syd]

And then when they're older, they go like that baby in that commercial kind of looks like me. And you go like, I don't know what you're talking about.

[Olivia]

Yeah. You gaslight them.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you, you say, and then you thousand dollars that you get still from.

[Olivia]

The commercial, send them away to an asylum. Because that was the plan all along.

[Kendall Landreth]

Exactly.

[Syd]

And then one day she'll be married to Machine Gun Kelly.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, God.

[Jordan Myrick]

And then divorce.

[Syd]

Are they divorced?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Huge. I have no idea.

[Jordan Myrick]

Literally. They broke up. Literally right before she had her baby.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right.

[Syd]

Oh, okay. I've been playing the farm game, so I don't know.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, we're farmers. Stuff like learning about them. Them. I've been so deeply uninterested. In them. But I feel like every time I open my phone, there's like, two alerts from the news that just come up on your phone where it's like, the US has bombed Iran and machine.

[Olivia]

Machine Gun Kelly has a music video and Megan Fox responded to it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Exactly like, those are the two alerts I'm always getting.

[Syd]

Yeah. That sucks.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

I don't know if I want so different.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't want either one of them.

[Kendall Landreth]

They can't be compared either. They're equally bad in different ways.

[Syd]

Yeah. Those are so different. Yeah, absolutely.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I hate both.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fair.

[Olivia]

That's beautiful.

[Jordan Myrick]

So today we're doing. Am I the assholes? Would y' all categorize yourself as an asshole in general?

[Syd]

Yeah, I think I look like one.

[Kendall Landreth]

I must say. Hard to disagree.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't know if I would agree on this. I think I agree.

[Syd]

What?

[Jordan Myrick]

I think I agree. You're very, very pretty.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, thank you.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you're kind of nonchalant in a way where if I hadn't interacted with you and gotten to experience how nice you are, I would probably assume you were kind of rude.

[Olivia]

I get this where people. People read her shyness as, like, intimidating.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sure.

[Olivia]

And she's just a sweet, shy girl.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

But just a sweet, shy girl.

[Syd]

I'm just playing my far game.

[Olivia]

She's just playing her farm game.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I have also.

[Syd]

Just playing her far game. I think what it is, is.

[Olivia]

Oh, yeah. She has a theory.

[Syd]

I have a lazy eyelid. And I think that when people talk to me, they say something to me, and they'll be like, oh, what do you think about this? And I'll turn to them and be like. And they're like, okay, so you're rude.

[Olivia]

Jesus Christ.

[Jordan Myrick]

So you think that they think that you're making a face at them?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Syd]

I use eye drops, so hopefully you can't notice as much right now.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I don't notice it at all.

[Syd]

I spend a lot.

[Olivia]

I still can't tell which one it is. And I've known her for 16 years.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I was just looking really hard.

[Syd]

It's the left one, but maybe right now it's bigger because I use the drops. Up neek.

[Olivia]

Up neek.

[Jordan Myrick]

What does the drop do?

[Olivia]

They open your eyes bigger and people sell them or buy them just for cosmic. Like, cosmetically to just be like, my eyes are more open. Which is crazy because it is a medical.

[Syd]

A Kaiser Permanente doctor said to me, like, you're gonna for sure need a blephar. A Bleph, Blepharophaloplasty.

[Jordan Myrick]

However you say that, they find a different name every time they say that, it upsets me.

[Olivia]

Yeah, it's like a stomach churning word.

[Syd]

Yeah. It sounds like the sound of an animal vomiting.

[Olivia]

Yeah. There's a vomit moment in the sound. Baked in.

[Syd]

But anyway. Yeah. I feel like people assume I'm an asshole, and I try not to be. I just think I'm a little introverted.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow. Complete different read on my end. Maybe because I'm introverted.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I also. I think sometimes people think I'm an asshole because I can't say, see anything. Like, my eyesight is so bad.

[Olivia]

Are you lying about that?

[Kendall Landreth]

Am I lying? Colorblind? No. I've, like, pushed against it for so. Well, first of all, it's gotten worse because I don't wear. I don't. I'm not responsible with it. So then I don't wear my glasses. I don't do my contacts. And then it gets worse over time also. And this does sound like it's for attention, but it's not. My pupils are in like the top 1% of size.

[Syd]

Good for you.

[Kendall Landreth]

Apparently not. Apparently. It's a medical.

[Syd]

Big old pupils. Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Big. And it's not table pupils.

[Jordan Myrick]

Exact. Her natural largest.

[Kendall Landreth]

So the sun just goes right into him. And so I just can't see. You have to be like a foot away from me to see you. And so I think a lot of people. I'm really not. If you're not a foot in front of me, I don't recognize you. I don't know who you are. So a lot of people will be like, oh, I walked by you and you just kind of looked at me and then walked away. And I'm like, I'm so sorry. Yeah. So that is also a medical problem that people are judging us for.

[Olivia]

I get it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think people think I'm an asshole. I think I come off more cold.

[Syd]

You're very warm online.

[Olivia]

Yeah. I just touched your leg the other time. It was like, my hand is pooping.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank you. No. Yeah. I think maybe I come off as more cold online than I do in real life.

[Syd]

I think, actually, I have a theory. Quickly.

[Kendall Landreth]

You have a lazy eyelid.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Give me the drop.

[Syd]

No, it's. It's because I. I feel like there is. If women have an expectation to be bubbly.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

And when you are not bubbly and you're just being like, oh, I'm just like having a normal conversation with you, people go like, oh, so you're literally a bitch. And it's like, no.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

So I think sometimes being a woman in comedy and being like, I'm just telling you, like a setup and a punchline. Or like, I'm just telling you, yeah.

[Olivia]

I'm being dry for a second. Or I'm just like, being normal sometimes performing.

[Syd]

Yeah. People will be like, that's cold. Because people do that to me too. And I think it's more just like, oh, I'm just like, tired.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Or just being like, normal.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Do you know what I mean?

[Olivia]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sometimes, like, you just want to be normal or you're just being like, oh, we have to be this place at 4. And people be like, that's a hate crime. And I'm like, what?

[Syd]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

So I think that's why sometimes people think I'm an. But I agree with you.

[Syd]

I think it's a societal problem.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Because I want women to be children.

[Jordan Myrick]

I will say too, I think that I've released myself from feeling the need to be bubbly since I came out. I think, I think it feels different.

[Syd]

I agree. I think the. I have have experience with men and women and I feel I am on a date with a man. I feel a need to be more like, cutesy. When I am on a date with a woman, I feel like I can be more myself right away. Whereas with a man, sometimes I feel like I have to work my way up to that. Unless they've seen my content before, in which case I feel like I'm like, oh, so you know what I'm saying?

[Olivia]

Yeah. It's like, if you've seen me fall down the stairs in drag and you're still on it like me, then you get like, you get it and nobody.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thinks you're an asshole.

[Olivia]

Oh, I think I'm an asshole all the time. I spiral after every social interaction. I go like, oh, my God, this thing you said probably just fucked this person over and made this person feel terrible. And I just like, analyze everything I do. And I think one of my biggest fears is being an asshole. But when you're a people pleaser, another word for people pleasing is lying. Right?

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Olivia]

So like, it's like that thing of like, oh, you're a people pleaser. Like, name five people you've pleased. And so I think there's probably, like, ways I've under communicated or, you know, done things that are like. And also some, when I was younger, like, I used to like with people a little bit more. Like, I. I would like, go on Tinder and like, you Know, I would talk to 60 year old men in the cadence and spelling that 6 year old men would talk to young girls. So I would like match with them and be like, hello, beautiful princess. My name is. And I am to here to like just like misspelled and like, I will spoil you. I am your king. I am a, I am a soft woman, simple woman. Just want beautiful man for my physical pleasures and to treat like a king. And I would send them like this, like, you know, with all the emojis and then they'd send me back something I. And it would just be. And I would just, it was just like my entertainment for myself. And that's probably a little bit assholey, but it wasn't anyone who was like, I don't know, I feel like I could suss out who was like sad to fuck with and who was like there to like be a pervert. And I was like kind of trying to do like, I don't know, vigilante Tinder shit.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's what I'm thinking. Kind of like a Batman of the album.

[Olivia]

Yeah. I used dating apps to convince I got banned from Tinder. I just, I would go on and I would be like, the point of this for me is to match with a bunch of people and convince them I'm in a cult and like use cult language until they block me. And that was when I was like 19, 20.

[Kendall Landreth]

I love that.

[Olivia]

But I, Because I was just like, that was to me, like my. And maybe that's. I don't know if that's neurodivergence. That's like, that's, that was just like, to me, I was like, duh, duh. Of course, of course. Like, you need it. It's supposed to be funny. And that's.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I love that. I, I envy that so much because I feel like me at 19 on dating apps, I was like, so are you like planning on having kids? Like, I was taking it so seriously.

[Olivia]

I couldn't take it seriously and I maybe should have taken it a seriously of like, there are people. You're like, this is a person, Olivia.

[Jordan Myrick]

My question is, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think that's good and I think that's powerful. But I am curious. Were you just meeting so many people, like in real life that you didn't need dating apps? So dating apps were just like a fun thing for you? Okay, so that's privilege.

[Kendall Landreth]

You're like, I, I.

[Olivia]

No, I just literally, like, I literally just was doing so much improv and I. But also I was like, dating. I was like dating people who knew me when I was in high school, and they were not.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

You know what I mean? So it wasn't. It was like. It was like I had a bad thing, a bad choice I was making in my real life. And then when I was single, I would make bad choices that didn't amount to anything on the Internet.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. And a fun thing that I just learned is that we all went to high school, like five Same.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Five minutes apart from each other.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, what?

[Syd]

You went to Wesley?

[Jordan Myrick]

I went to Westlake High School.

[Olivia]

Wait, what the.

[Jordan Myrick]

I lived there my junior year of high school.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was here for junior and senior year.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, but I was supposed to go to Agora.

[Syd]

Wait, what year did you graduate?

[Jordan Myrick]

Wait, 2011. I'm 32.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, great.

[Jordan Myrick]

So I'm like right around yalls age, so we would have been in the same grade. So I'm like, I gotta get on. When I.

[Olivia]

If it was Oak Park, I would be like. I would have like five people right now.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, okay.

[Olivia]

But. But did you do theater?

[Jordan Myrick]

I did, yeah.

[Syd]

Oh, my God.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Syd]

Wait, did you know people from Agora?

[Jordan Myrick]

Maybe.

[Syd]

Did you do any of the theater?

[Olivia]

Like, did you know Bailey, Sean or Alex? I'm trying to think of people.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wait, Alex?

[Olivia]

Alex was.

[Syd]

Alex?

[Olivia]

She was.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, no, I think I'm thinking Jake.

[Syd]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Jake.

[Kendall Landreth]

I know him.

[Olivia]

That's very.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know it's not the. I know it's not the. But I was like, wait, why does. Why does Alex sound so familiar?

[Olivia]

I'm like.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it's. Cause there's a bunch of people named. I think I'm thinking of. I went to high school with twins that were kind of in the theater program that were two guy twins and they thought they were really not conjoined. Separate.

[Kendall Landreth]

Did you have that at a court?

[Olivia]

No, but I just always ask.

[Kendall Landreth]

Incredible.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure, sure. Who? I don't remember their names, but I know their mom or stepmom was famous.

[Olivia]

Oh, my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

A famous actress.

[Olivia]

Wow. Oh, okay. Well, we got to look up. I'm gonna think west, like Westlake twins.

[Syd]

You didn't do any of the, like Canejo Valley, like, theater?

[Jordan Myrick]

Not really. I did, like Westlake High School.

[Olivia]

Did you do comedy sports?

[Jordan Myrick]

I did not do.

[Kendall Landreth]

I did comedy sports. Yes, I was. It was like the. I literally say, like. Because I didn't come out in high school and like all my sexual energy was at comedy sports.

[Olivia]

It was funny through comedy sports. That's how we Met. Yeah, I, I, it was very, very, very fun. And we, I mean truly like the funnest, like all of my, all of the people I love so much are like from that team in high school. And we all still like, it's crazy.

[Jordan Myrick]

I wish I did it. We didn't have it in my school in Florida and I did long form improv at a community theater, so I got really into that. But I was like, kind of, I don't know.

[Olivia]

I.

[Jordan Myrick]

Moving your junior year of high school is weird. Even though, like, I'm very extroverted and I was, I had moved a lot growing up. I was like, totally fine with it. But moving junior year of high school is like everyone's kind of already set. You know what I mean?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

So people liked me, but people were also kind of like, but I already have like my friend group or I already have my hobbies or whatever. And like all of these things kind of were like pre existing. I didn't even know if there was an option to like hop into clubs or anything.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I did take drama class, which I thought was so strange. You could only be in productions if you took it as a class. As like a class period. So I teach a School at 7 o' clock in the morning to take a drama class where we did nothing. One day. My drama teacher. Should I even say.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know.

[Olivia]

How inappropriate. Is it something bad?

[Jordan Myrick]

No. She told me about how she had an affair one time in her office.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh my God. Wait, with this Suzy?

[Jordan Myrick]

No, with another adult.

[Olivia]

Okay, that's fine. Oh, it's not fine for the spouse, but it's fine in terms of the context. It was, it's way more fine than what I was thinking.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's hotter than what I was thinking.

[Syd]

Yeah. We had two teachers at our school who had an affair too.

[Olivia]

Yeah. It went.

[Jordan Myrick]

And they were both married.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

And they both got divorces to be with each other. I don't think they ended up together.

[Olivia]

Was that the photo?

[Syd]

Maybe they were together for a little bit.

[Olivia]

There was like a. Yeah, there was like photos of a, A leaked photo.

[Syd]

No, not that.

[Olivia]

Oh, not that.

[Jordan Myrick]

Never mind.

[Olivia]

O, But I, I, our school had.

[Syd]

Like a ton of stuff happening.

[Olivia]

Yeah, we had some crazy stuff. We had a cow. Come onto the cow.

[Kendall Landreth]

Now, come on.

[Syd]

School. And it was just like on the.

[Kendall Landreth]

Football field in la.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Did you guys.

[Olivia]

Well, in Agora, which is like north of LA farm, like it's like where people pretend to be farmers.

[Kendall Landreth]

Got it.

[Olivia]

And yeah, there are, there are people.

[Syd]

There who Are like, rich people who.

[Olivia]

Go, like, I have horses and I have.

[Syd]

And then everyone else is just kind of, like, normal.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Because I feel. I felt like it was very normal, especially moving there from south Florida. I was like, wait, none of the kids in this class have died yet. What are you talking about? Like, compared to south Florida? I was like, like, where are you guys buying your whippets? Nowhere. What are you talking about? Like, it was so calm and, like, nice and pleasant.

[Olivia]

Like, our.

[Kendall Landreth]

Our.

[Olivia]

At least when. When we were at Agora, like, the. The GSA was like, the top club in campus. Like, it was like. And like, the popular kids were, like, people who just did ASB and liked to volunteer. Like, and were athletes. Like, it was so.

[Syd]

It was pretty jelly.

[Olivia]

There was not a lot of, like, you know, I don't know. There's not a lot of, like, classic, like, mean high school things. Obviously, like, all high school is always high school, but, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

God, the GSA club in my school was not that. It was so. It was like, three people who. You know, when there's. It's just like, there was no gay people at my school, but there were, like, three people where it was like, you just simply could not pretend, and you just could tell. They were like, I don't want to be out. I'm not proud, but what am I to do?

[Jordan Myrick]

I have a gay little voice. I can't.

[Syd]

What am I doing?

[Kendall Landreth]

No pride. But they're like, I'm in the gsa kind of. Because everyone. I don't want to be outside at lunch because people will throw things at me. So here I am.

[Jordan Myrick]

[Kendall Landreth]

Crazy.

[Jordan Myrick]

We went to elementary school together. Do you remember me?

[Syd]

Not like, whoa, you're an Internet personality.

[Jordan Myrick]

Mostly just the gay stuff.

[Olivia]

You're gay now. Starting now.

[Syd]

Oh, my God. So funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Okay, so I guess we'd say we're all kind of assholes a little bit, but we're also not assholes at all. And I think that's something important to remember.

[Syd]

That's kind of like humanity is like, everyone has the ability to be an asshole sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't make you an asshole forever.

[Olivia]

Yeah, I think that's a perfect. And being an asshole is a choice and it's a choice not to. And sometimes.

[Syd]

Sometimes when you have a really bad tummy ache.

[Jordan Myrick]

So true.

[Syd]

But then it goes away and then you're like, sorry, guys.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

But also what we all said is that people perceive us as an for something we can't help. And on the inside, we're not really an asshole. So I feel like we are the best at give advice because we're very, very kind.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, we're very simple. Somewhere, I'd say a lot of that. People are kind of shouting it from over there. Guys, we're recording a podcast. Stop Funny. Seriously, please. But we have these. Am I the assholes? People sent them in. As always, you can send in anything to this podcast. We have an email address. You can send it on Instagram. We ask weekly prompts. We post things on our Patreon. Go. Ask away. We have different topics. And you can also just send us a thing. Tell them about this.

[Syd]

You can send them. You can send them things for the set.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes. Look how sad this is.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow. Yes. As you might have noticed, our set is now bare. And that's because we want a peer pressure you to send us things to put up on the set P.O. box. You can find it on our YouTube, on our Instagrams, Tiktoks, whatever.

[Olivia]

That's fun.

[Jordan Myrick]

And send us anything as long as it's not upsetting. If it won't make me scared to go home at night, I want you to send it to us.

[Olivia]

No envelopes of bullets.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. No, please stop sending those. You can send mugs from your money. You can send a bunch of money. You could send. Someone sent us. Becca specifically sent us a Blu ray copy of But I'm a cheerleader. More of that kind of stuff. Hey, you want a picture of your wedding to you and your gay wife? Send it.

[Kendall Landreth]

Or straight wife.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's when your husband want to send us a frame photo. We'll put that up.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're continually desperate for people to know that we're not just a gay podcast, that our demographic can be anyone.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. And we do have many straight male listeners.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes, we do.

[Olivia]

Love that.

[Kendall Landreth]

Isn't that interesting?

[Olivia]

That is interesting. I mean, I think that that's. That's kind of fucking awesome. Like, the straight guys taking advice from you guys are the straight guys to date straight women.

[Jordan Myrick]

So true.

[Kendall Landreth]

Exactly.

[Syd]

That sounds great.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think this is how they have to learn, you know? And I think straight men are drawn. I think nice straight men are drawn to lesbians in a non sexual way in kind of a classic, you know, himbo.

[Olivia]

I love it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like, dynamic.

[Olivia]

It's beautiful.

[Syd]

It's beautiful.

[Olivia]

It's really beautiful.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love it. All right, let's do this first one.

[Olivia]

Let's get our assholes out.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's short but sweet. Am I the asshole for taking two different girls to a first date at the same restaurant two days apart?

[Olivia]

Huh? Is that it?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yep.

[Syd]

Oh. Oh. I guess my. My biggest things are.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Do you have weird dietary things? Because if you get really used to one restaurant or if you're like a person who's like, I just get nervous in social situations, so I like knowing like, oh, this is the menu. This is.

[Olivia]

Or if you're in a town with only one good restauran.

[Syd]

Yeah, those are things where I'm like, yeah, I get that. Otherwise, just take him to a different restaurant.

[Jordan Myrick]

Can I counter that with. Even if those things are true, I think you're right. If there's one restaurant, there's one restaurant. But even then, I'm still like, okay, for one, go to the restaurant. And for the other, like, go to the grocery store, pick stuff up, and then, like, do a picnic. Yeah. It just feels too weird to me. Like, too close together. And then to me, it feels like this thing where it's like, oh, you're the person that takes people to that restaurant. Which feels, like, boring to me. Even if you, like, have dietary restrictions, you can figure it out.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Get over them.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like, I promise. Well, I'm like, or do a picnic, Invite them over, make dinner. Like, just figure something out. Because I'm like, taking a bunch of different people to the same restaurant, to me, doesn't feel like different dates.

[Olivia]

It feels like, yeah, it feels like Auditioning. Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Plugging a new person into a situation where you have, like, the upper hand.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

You have dominance. I don't know. It feels weird to me.

[Olivia]

Also, I will say all the people at that restaurant are going to notice if you continue to do that. The whole staff is going to be like, this guy.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

It's the.

[Syd]

Two days apart is hard. Two days apart is hard. If it's like a few weeks apart and you're like, I just like this.

[Olivia]

Restaurant, I think that's fine. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're not an. But if you keep doing it, it might get weird.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think you are an asshole a little bit.

[Olivia]

I think you need more creativity. Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think you're a boring asshole, unfortunately. And I don't think you have to be that way forever. I think you can always change.

[Olivia]

Being a boring asshole is a choice.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, absolutely. But I'm like, I think that you just don't want to have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. So you want people to say, step into your comfort zone.

[Olivia]

It's not going to make a good relationship.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's not fair.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I do have sympathy because I will say, I love to be a regular. And what I'll tell you is I worked at a restaurant, and anytime someone was like, I'm a regular, I was like, no one cares. And also, we don't know who you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Are and we hate you.

[Kendall Landreth]

And also leave. I had no. But now, as I love it and I'm sure they're thinking the exact same thing. And there's one restaurant I go to that I do. I don't go on date dates anymore, but I do go on friend. I hang out with friends.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

Yeah, that's allowed.

[Kendall Landreth]

I sound like I've just been dropped on the planet.

[Olivia]

No, because friends.

[Kendall Landreth]

Is that what they call.

[Olivia]

Because it's like when you're going out on two dates in a row at the same restaurant, there is usually only one slot open, Right?

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

But when you're going with friends, if you're going to the same restaurant over and over again with a bunch of different friends, there's endless slots.

[Kendall Landreth]

But they could think the staff might think that's true, that these are dates.

[Olivia]

True.

[Kendall Landreth]

I have this confidence when I walk and I say, yep, it's me again. I'm sure you're not surprised to see me. It's me.

[Syd]

A girl with a new piece.

[Jordan Myrick]

Exactly.

[Kendall Landreth]

And it's crazy because I remember being at Server and being like, I would never do that. No one cares. You're regular. And I'm like, I know. I just. It's. I so quickly fell into that trap.

[Jordan Myrick]

I also think too though, like, don't you feel like you would just be comparing. Oh, yeah, well, she ordered eggplant parmesan and she ordered a panini or whatever. And then like, that means nothing.

[Olivia]

You're not building the date around the potential connection or things in common you might have with that person. You're going, I host a date and people audition at this date. Yes. And that is probably gonna yield worse results, in my opinion.

[Kendall Landreth]

Have either of you done speed dating?

[Olivia]

No, but I want to.

[Kendall Landreth]

I do too, but sorry, I can't do anymore.

[Olivia]

Yeah, it is like only an option. But I, I like, you know, just even. Even speed anything. Like I just run. Just. Just speed. I want to eat speed. No, but just the concept of like sitting down. Even if it was like speed, friendship, like interviews or whatever, like, it's just so funny to me.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, I also think it's like a sick part of me because I'm like. I think I specifically would be so good at it, which is so stupid and not a helpful skill. But I'm like, I'm great at the first 10 seconds of a conversation and then you fall off and then I'm like, I want to die. I don't know what to say. It's like, we can't. But I, for a minute and a half, can be just an absolute doll.

[Syd]

That is so funny because then the idea is that then you move on to more time. Yeah. So by then you're like. It's like a catfish by. You're like my nightmare.

[Kendall Landreth]

And then be like. I'd be like, no, sorry, sorry.

[Olivia]

You got.

[Kendall Landreth]

She's dead.

[Olivia]

She's just. You got minute and a half.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, so listen, you got your answer. You're not a hard, but you're a soft.

[Olivia]

Soft.

[Jordan Myrick]

Very soft.

[Syd]

Honestly, you might be kind of. Yeah, I just meant like as an. You want it to be soft, not hard. Cuz like hard sounds like it hurts.

[Olivia]

It's calcified.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, absolutely. We're going to be creating some kind of scale for this. So you'll have all these terms to kind of look back on. Am I the asshole for not wanting my fiance's mom to come live with me and my fiance after being kicked out of her daughter's place because of her husband, so.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, I see.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Okay, well.

[Kendall Landreth]

So, okay, yeah, this.

[Syd]

This might require a couple of round go around. I don't know what's going to.

[Jordan Myrick]

A little more info.

[Olivia]

I Clocked it already.

[Jordan Myrick]

Ready. My fiance's mom is a very kind, sweet person, but on the flip side, she is super manipulative. Likes to be involved in every facet of my. My fiance's life.

[Olivia]

That's not a kind, sweet person.

[Kendall Landreth]

Super nice.

[Olivia]

She's so nice. She's the worst.

[Jordan Myrick]

She gossips about everyone in her life.

[Syd]

Oh, boy.

[Jordan Myrick]

And because of this, I tried to keep her at arms.

[Olivia]

Yeah. So she got kicked out.

[Syd]

Out of other.

[Olivia]

Her daughters.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

I think because of her husband.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Olivia]

Because of the mom's husband.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, because of the daughter's husband. The daughter's husband was like, get your mom out of our house.

[Jordan Myrick]

So now she's trying to live with the new. The other child.

[Syd]

So this person is like. Is like, I'm in the same position as that person.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I don't want to be in that position. And does that make me an asshole?

[Kendall Landreth]

No.

[Olivia]

No, it really doesn't. I mean, it's a really hard situation you're in, but it doesn't make you an asshole. I just feel bad for you because that's tough.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

I feel like that's like kind of a normal, like, boundary to set of like, oh, I'm sorry. No one else lives with us.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, I mean, there's no one else lives.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sorry. Nobody else lives here. Just us.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

So crazy. It's just us.

[Kendall Landreth]

We can't do any more.

[Jordan Myrick]

Only tenants.

[Kendall Landreth]

I do think the. The partner is kind of an.

[Syd]

A little bit.

[Kendall Landreth]

Because I'm like, it shouldn't be you being like, I don't want you to live here. You, the daughter, or the.

[Olivia]

It is your job to protect your partner from the weirdest or most crazy parts of your family and the people on your side that you brought into their life. Like, that is your job.

[Syd]

I do. It's like, I understand if she was kicked out and had some horrible thing where she couldn't get a place on her own, then I understand a little.

[Olivia]

Bit more like a temporary, okay, wall. You're back on your feet. But it doesn't sound like that's.

[Syd]

It doesn't sound that way because that wasn't mentioned.

[Kendall Landreth]

And here's what I'll tell you. When someone moves in, they don't move about. If I've learned one thing in my life, two weeks turns into eight years very quick. Wow. That's all I'll say.

[Jordan Myrick]

Eight years.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's not about a specific person. To be clear.

[Syd]

It sounded like it was specific. Two weeks turns into eight years, and that's always what Happens.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's always what happens.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm just saying it can quickly turn, especially not with everyone but, you know, people in your life. But if you're already like, she's manipulative, I'm like, honey, she's not moving out.

[Olivia]

No.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, I think what's hard about that, to defend this mother in law a little bit is that it sounds like she is a nice person, but it's is maybe unintentionally toxic.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sounds like maybe she's a generation X.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. And I think she probably needs some help because these things that I'm reading of, like she gossips about everyone, she's manipulative. Like I think that is very much sometimes like of that generation where I think people can't help it, but it seems like she's well intentioned. I think first of all I'm like, can someone even live with you? I also think that's a huge difference because there are things where it's like, if all of a sudden my parents needed to live with us, we live in a very small two bedroom apartment. So that would be like a much bigger undertaking that I'm like, do you live in like a four bedroom house? You know, and I think you can also like gauge based off that. Like, what do you have? How rich are you? I think most of these can always be solved by being like, how rich are you?

[Kendall Landreth]

Send us a photo of your mother and your yearly income and we'll be.

[Syd]

Able to answer this question.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I do think that's hard, I think because I also think it's like different, like manipulative as like if I was like my friend, she's 20 and she's super manipulative, I would be like, oh, that person is like bad news. But I think there's like a certain age where it's like, yeah, they're all just kind of naturally manipulative because that's the only way they know how to move through life.

[Olivia]

The question is like, how much are they going to do it to you while they're living with you? Because it's like if she's just gossiping about her friends or your friends or people at the grocery store and she's being manipulative in ways that are like kind of annoying but ultimately not super harmful, that's one thing. But if like her, like if the reason she got asked to leave was because she was like interfering or being manipulative or gossipy in their marriage, then that's, that's which is always a possibility. But I don't know because I didn't get those details.

[Jordan Myrick]

You got to ask. Yeah, I think that makes so much sense. Just clarifying, like, and then making a plan.

[Olivia]

I'm like, it's always good to make a plan. Make a list.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, make a list. Be like, okay, yes, your mom can come stay here, but for this long. And if, like, here's my checklist of things that simply cannot happen. And if those things start to happen, then your mom has to go and maybe even sit down and have a conversation with the mom. Make your partner sit down and have a conversation.

[Olivia]

Your partner needs to step it up, dude.

[Syd]

Or can you guys just be like, why don't we help you get an apartment? Like, we'll help you look for apartment and, like, find one that would be great for you.

[Kendall Landreth]

And then what if she just for like a mock discussion of what I think would happen is like, she goes, no, I guess you don't want to live.

[Olivia]

Oh, I guess I'm a terrible mother.

[Syd]

Yeah. And it's like, no, I don't.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I think there's a positive twist. You can also be like, well, you might enjoy having your own space.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Yeah, totally. Maybe it's just like, well, you know, we're adults and we don't want to live with our mom.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Like, love you. Yeah, you live in your own place.

[Olivia]

Or you could let her move in and start shitting on the walls. O do something so bad that she moves out on purpose.

[Syd]

That's something.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

The manipulated becomes the manipulated tour.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. This is essentially the plot of that movie with Brandy. Did you guys see this? The front room.

[Syd]

Oh, my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's one couple years ago, and it's starring Brandi, who we all know.

[Syd]

Love Brandy.

[Jordan Myrick]

She is pregnant and her white husband's mom moves in with them and acts like a true demon. Oh, no. And just goes off the rails. It's horrible.

[Syd]

Monster life in law.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. But not funny.

[Syd]

Got it.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, scary.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, there are part.

[Kendall Landreth]

There are funny parts because she's.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's not trying to be funny, though.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, it's like a very serious plot. But she is so insane. Like, she's this really old woman. So, like, when it is a scary moment, she is like.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I find it.

[Kendall Landreth]

I thought it was kind of funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Love Brandy. Love Brandy. Cinderella, one of my favorite movies.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, yeah. Apparently they just reprise their role in some other Disney project. Her and the prince from that movie.

[Syd]

Oh, my God. That's incredible news.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's another one of those news article that I received Just that the war, they're like, Israel cannot be stopped. And also, it really don't either.

[Olivia]

And Justin Bieber is crashing out, truly.

[Kendall Landreth]

Because I feel like I receive, whenever I receive that news alert, I go, oh, boy, what is it? This is gonna be. I mean, unfortunately, like, this is a bomb.

[Olivia]

Something. This is gonna be something awful.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. And I remember like one of the alerts I've received was like, Joe Biden's dropped out of the race, like, things like that. And then every so often I'll get one that. That's like, the packers lost 16 to 40. I'm like, who cares?

[Jordan Myrick]

They're all either Krispy Kreme has a new donut or there is a man at your door with a gun and he's going to shoot you right now.

[Syd]

Or occasionally the like, four ways to not feel as hungry when you're sleepy.

[Olivia]

Like, what are you talking about?

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm always running into that problem. I'm always so hungry when I'm sleepy, it's hard to know what to do. So I'm going to say you're not an asshole at all. No, not at all.

[Kendall Landreth]

You're in a tough situation.

[Jordan Myrick]

And hey, you know what I'm going to say? I don't even think your mother in law is an asshole. I think that she's probably doing her best. If I had to guess, I think this has a lot of potential for your partner to be an.

[Olivia]

Yeah. I think boundaries need to be set and hopefully everyone's good.

[Syd]

Yeah, I. Yeah, it sounds like just big, big old hard vibes. Like everything.

[Olivia]

I'm just always. Big old hard vibes. Vibes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, which would we categorize this one as? Callous?

[Jordan Myrick]

Soft. No, soft.

[Olivia]

Soft.

[Jordan Myrick]

Supple.

[Olivia]

Not even an O's. Not an at all.

[Jordan Myrick]

Taint. I think.

[Syd]

Taint. Yeah, just taint.

[Jordan Myrick]

Great, right?

[Syd]

Just taint.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't know.

[Olivia]

No, honestly. Honestly, the partner is a little bit of a pussy.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, yeah.

[Olivia]

Right next to the taint.

[Kendall Landreth]

I know. Right next to the taint. But not doing anything.

[Syd]

Yeah, yeah. It's the cat's no butthole cut. Remember the cats maybe had a butthole cut and a. No butthole cut.

[Jordan Myrick]

What's the cats movie?

[Olivia]

Movie musical.

[Jordan Myrick]

Cats the musical.

[Kendall Landreth]

Which one released again? Which one released the butthole. So they had one where the cats had butt holes.

[Syd]

Buttholes.

[Kendall Landreth]

And then they were like, that's horrible.

[Olivia]

Sorry.

[Syd]

Let's read it.

[Olivia]

And Jason Derulo's dick was also in.

[Syd]

He had a package. And they were like, actually, let's get Rid of that. And then he posted on Instagram being like, guys, I need you to know I have a giant package and it was edited out and I'm so pissed. Yeah, he was mad and people were like, okay, okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Why did I miss this? What happened?

[Syd]

It was huge.

[Kendall Landreth]

It was years ago.

[Syd]

It was huge, Castle, specifically, in my.

[Olivia]

World, my life, it was massive.

[Syd]

I was getting notifications of that every day.

[Jordan Myrick]

I. Yeah. Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

That was big.

[Jordan Myrick]

God, it hurts to be on the Internet so much and then hear something that you know nothing about that you feel like you should have done something about. It feels hurtful. It feels like a friend left you out of something.

[Olivia]

You're uninvited to something.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, but that friend was the Internet and it hates you. Am I the. We have been primarily long distance friends for three years, with periods of time where we were texting slash facetiming every day, day. Though we originally met on Grindr, the connection was non sexual and platonic from the start and was also based around some shared spiritual practices slash paranormal experiences. Oh. They are a professional psychic medium. And I am someone who has had experiences with energies slash entities. Slash. Etc. A third mystery, one that I feel less inclined to define, let alone make a career about. Out. Out of those connections. Oh. At times in our friendship, I felt that they were condescending at my perceived lack of connection to these experiences of the paranormal.

[Olivia]

Oh, my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

And this came across as if they were trying to teach me something. We definitely shared emotional depth and I genuinely felt kinship with them. Though their own insecurities often acted as a barrier to intimacy. See, they would say things like, one day you'll leave me. And express frustration slash pessimism about their other friends to me sometimes.

[Syd]

Did we get off the go?

[Jordan Myrick]

I listen to this woman.

[Kendall Landreth]

I know her.

[Jordan Myrick]

Listen. Sometimes that pessimism was straight up talking, which always gives me the. So it seems like this person doesn't want to be friends with this.

[Kendall Landreth]

Can I tell you, I literally know this. I was friends with a woman. Woman just like this.

[Olivia]

This is.

[Syd]

Can I guess where she lived? North Hollywood.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, no, I'm sorry. I should have just said yes. Yes, she was Hollywood.

[Syd]

Okay, well, no, no, we don't live in North Hollywood.

[Jordan Myrick]

Come on.

[Syd]

I find that so many witchy women live in North Hollywood.

[Kendall Landreth]

Here's what I'll say about mediums is I think mediums are the colorblind of personalities. Where it's like, I do think there are medium mediums, but I think most of them aren't. And they are. It's like poor mediums who are real. Because most people who identify as mediums are attention seeking liars and are insane.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, well, this is what I'll say.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sorry, are you a medium?

[Jordan Myrick]

No, this is not into a ball. Yeah.

[Olivia]

So we have a tendency.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, so we have a medium. If someone is a medium, it's not a 23 year old white woman from Michigan who now lives in, in Santa Monica. Like, sorry. I believe that there are people who can commune with other spirits, other worlds, whatever. Like, I'm not like, I wouldn't say I'm sure of it. I'm just like, I don't know enough about what's out there. I'm very open. I'm like, listen, I have no clue.

[Kendall Landreth]

But her name's not Mackenzie.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. I would bet my life on the fact that like that woman that's able to speak to the other side is not wearing a large sun hat and she does not have blonde highlights. Like, I'm telling you, if it's like an old woman who lives in New Orleans in an 8,000 year old house, you're like, how is she not dead yet? Her skin looks like it's peeling off her face or it's like a four year old there. I think there's no in between. Well, because I heard no in between.

[Kendall Landreth]

Have you seen the news story? The girl, she's four.

[Olivia]

Wait, the news story?

[Jordan Myrick]

You've heard the news story?

[Syd]

Only news story I saw was about the butthole.

[Kendall Landreth]

She was 4 years old. This was years ago.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't remember her name.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't remember where she lived.

[Olivia]

I love it.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I. She was three or four. She told. I honestly don't even remember the age. She was young, very young. She tells her mom, she goes, take me back to. She says the name. I'm sorry, I don't remember details. She says the name of a place far off place. Her mom's like, I don't even know what that is. She assumes she just made this up. Just take me back. Take me back to this place. I fell off this. I don't remember any of the details, but she explained her death. And then the mom research. There's a woman who died in this very specific town in Ireland and she described it. That child is a psych.

[Olivia]

Here's what I will say.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

There is a show on Discovery plus called There is a ghost inside my child. And every episode is that.

[Syd]

Every episode is like a kid being like, I jumped from the tower in 9 11.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

And the mom's like, how do you know what 911 is?

[Kendall Landreth]

It's wide.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

So I believe that. But I had a friend. I honestly, I'm scared she'll come for me. But I. You know what? I'm freeing myself today.

[Syd]

Oh, good for you.

[Kendall Landreth]

Thank you.

[Jordan Myrick]

This is good inspiration for the person asking the question.

[Kendall Landreth]

Exactly.

[Jordan Myrick]

Free yourself from your idiot friend who thinks they're a medium.

[Olivia]

Yeah, no, literally.

[Kendall Landreth]

So she.

[Syd]

But this person also thinks they have a connection with the.

[Olivia]

But I think condescending about it. You're not being condescending about it.

[Jordan Myrick]

The person writing in, I think, is A, being nice, and I think B, the way that they phrase it is very much like. I feel like I've.

[Olivia]

I've had experiences and I.

[Jordan Myrick]

Whatever. Versus being like, I'm a professional medium.

[Olivia]

For a job, telling you that your experiences are invalid. That's so.

[Kendall Landreth]

Because also, like, the number one thing a manipulative person would do is be like, I know you. I see you.

[Olivia]

I see you better than you see.

[Kendall Landreth]

You, better than you see you, and better than anyone sees you. And I connect you, and I make you feel really special. And I can. I can see inside of.

[Jordan Myrick]

And this is what that girl did to you.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes. Well. And I was very young.

[Olivia]

Oh, no.

[Kendall Landreth]

She was very young, too, wasn't I?

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, she was.

[Olivia]

Melvin, I can see inside your body. And she was. And I was very young.

[Syd]

And what hap. What's. How do you need to free yourself?

[Kendall Landreth]

What'd you say?

[Syd]

How do you need to free yourself from yourself?

[Olivia]

Thank you so much.

[Kendall Landreth]

Thank you so much.

[Jordan Myrick]

I need to get on my farm.

[Kendall Landreth]

Is what I really need to do.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I can't do that because I'm trying to be professional.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, but it was just this kind of, like, condescending. I know everyone better than they know themselves. Whenever someone's talking, there's kind of this look of like, yeah, I know what's really going on when I'm like, no, you don't.

[Olivia]

That's so ill.

[Kendall Landreth]

Remember one time, like, we would just be having conversations. Oh, my God. I remember one time we were like. We got a news alert. And we were like, oh, my God, Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away.

[Syd]

Oh, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

And she goes, yeah, I know. I passed him over. I said, I actually, no, stop not laugh in your face. And then I did laugh. And then she felt very disrespected, which. Okay, I don't really know the experience of passing someone over, but that is so funny.

[Olivia]

Oh, my God. There's literally no world. She did that. There's a 0% chance she passed him over no world.

[Kendall Landreth]

And then it was like. And I don't want to get too specific, cuz maybe this woman has healed and she has moved on. I. I don't know. But she got a tarot deck. And this was what reminds me of this. She wanted to do the tarot readings. And when I tell you she was just tarot reading her friends and telling them things she wanted to tell them but wouldn't tell them. Oh my God, your boyfriend is a cheating bastard and you need to quit your job because I feel like you're taking time away from your friends. Friends next.

[Jordan Myrick]

And it's like the spiritual version of getting drunk. You know, you're like, I can say what I actually want to say.

[Kendall Landreth]

Also, these are always. And I'll say it, I'll say, I'll say the B word. Yeah, okay. They always were Marilyn Monroe in their past life. That's what.

[Jordan Myrick]

How are you going to say all Marilyn Monroe?

[Kendall Landreth]

And I was what, a downskeeper. I was a shoemaker.

[Olivia]

Wait, why are they all Marilyn Monroe? What?

[Jordan Myrick]

Have you never thought Marilyn Monroe? Medium? Literally all of them were like, I was Cleopatra. Cleopatra.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was Marilyn Monroe.

[Jordan Myrick]

Monroe. I was living Elvis. It's like this shows how many people were Elvis. It does not make sense. But literally every single time. And I'd heard people say that on like TV shows and stuff. And I was kind of like, okay, maybe this is fake for tv. But then I did an improv show where the monologist was a medium. And the first thing she says to us is, well, yes, in a past life, I was Marilyn Monroe. I was Elvis. I was Cleopatra, jfk, Jackie, Ken, we're.

[Syd]

Both Marilyn and JFK at the same time. You were just body swapping. You were like, happy birthday.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely. And that. It's always the same people. You never meet a medium who's like, in a past life, I was a monkey at the Cincinnati Zoo. You know what I mean? Like, you never meet someone who's like, oh, I was, I don't know, like, like just like, yeah, just a random person.

[Kendall Landreth]

Like this. I always go. And I swear, this sounds crazy. I've seen this happen so many times. They're like, well, who are you in a past life? Because of course, if someone, Even if I don't believe them, if someone tells me I'm a medium, I won't talk.

[Jordan Myrick]

To them for five hours.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm like, I have 900 questions. Even if it's honestly bullying at a certain point. I have 800. No, I'm just, yeah, I'M just asking. And I'm always like, who are you? And they're very like, you know, I don't really. I don't want to say.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't like to talk about that.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't like to talk about that.

[Jordan Myrick]

I like to try to keep things present.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. And then it's finally, there's Marilyn Monroe. And I swear to God, I've seen this happen.

[Olivia]

Like, oh, my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

Truly, truly.

[Kendall Landreth]

The funniest thing to me that is so crazy. So anyways, I do. I really do believe in mediums and people speaking to I. So I. And that's all to say, I'm not judging this person who thinks they're a medium or is a medium, believes they're medium. I just think some people use it like anything. I mean, right. That's like, therapists are great. But also it's a job that draws in people who are. And all these different. Being an actor, it's like, oh, there's great people, but it draws in a bad person.

[Syd]

If you're gonna be bad, you're gonna be bad in whatever the thing you choose.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, exactly.

[Syd]

And that's just like, what it is.

[Olivia]

And sometimes that's mediuming.

[Jordan Myrick]

So true.

[Syd]

What do you guys think you were in a past life?

[Jordan Myrick]

I had that same question. Question. Yeah. If you had to be like a famous person in the past or just.

[Kendall Landreth]

Anyone, like, who do you truly think?

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, something I'll say that's strange.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

That I feel like other people might have some insight into this question. But I've never had deja vu.

[Syd]

Really?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Some people will be like, oh, I had deja vu at XYZ things. So that might make me feel like, oh, when I've had deja vu, it's been in these scenarios or in these settings. So maybe in a past life. I. Interesting XYZ thing. I have never experienced deja vu. When people talk about it. I can't even really comprehend what they're expressing.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

So I don't know. So. And I've had people tell me, like, oh, that means you're on your first. Oh life. You didn't have lives. You're brand new. Which I'm like, where does that happen? Like, why? When do they just decide to make a new pop out a new baby?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

You know, is it like, based on, like, population percentages or something?

[Kendall Landreth]

And who are they?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, they come from. It's all just very strange to me. But I. If I had to guess in a past life, I was maybe like, I mean, the first thing that comes to mind for me is like a otter.

[Olivia]

Oh, I love that.

[Kendall Landreth]

Together, the two of us, maybe.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, you think you and me. I could see that.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know.

[Syd]

That's kind of sweet.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Syd]

You think you were together in a past life?

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Jordan Myrick]

I mean, I do feel like I've known you forever.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. But I don't know if we. We. You know what? I feel like you. You connect more with modern day.

[Jordan Myrick]

Day.

[Kendall Landreth]

This makes me. This makes me sound like I'm being like I'm.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's a medium. Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm Marilyn Monroe.

[Olivia]

And I'm more. Marilyn Monroe's.

[Jordan Myrick]

Only saying this because of your farming app. You think that you're so connected to the past.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I love candles.

[Jordan Myrick]

I like candles too.

[Kendall Landreth]

I think it's kind of different. You're kind of more of a Kindle person. I'm kind of like a physical copy person.

[Jordan Myrick]

So you think I was no. 1 in a past life?

[Kendall Landreth]

I think I could see this being.

[Jordan Myrick]

Your first life or someone really ahead of my time. I was like. I was like, I don't know, Albert Einstein.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I was think of one other scientist. You're Marilyn Monroe. I'm electricity. Who's that?

[Syd]

Jimin Franklin Kite man.

[Jordan Myrick]

Who's. Isn't there someone else? That was Alexander Graham Bell or something. He invented the phone. Fine. Alexander Graham Bell.

[Kendall Landreth]

Did you say Matt Phone?

[Olivia]

Ring, ring?

[Syd]

Yeah, Matt Phone. Invented the phone.

[Kendall Landreth]

Matt Phone.

[Olivia]

Invented the phone last year.

[Kendall Landreth]

Matt Phone.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wait, I think it was Matt Phone. We're Matt Chair, Matt Table, and we all live together. Yeah. Okay. What about you two?

[Olivia]

Oh, my God. Do you have an idea?

[Syd]

When you said the deja vu thing and you were like, that's a sign of a past life, I was thinking, okay, when do I get deja vu? And it's usually just when things are really, like, stupid. Like, I'll order a sandwich and be like, I feel like I've done that before.

[Olivia]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe so stupid in a past life.

[Syd]

But, like, it's like something really mundane. Like in a past life, I, like, worked at the DMV or something so mundane. Because all of my, like, deja vu things are so unimportant.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

And then my other thought was, I think I might have been. Been like a deep sea creature. Oh, I love that because every time I watch Planet Earth and I see one of those weird. I'm like, oh, you are me and I am you.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love that.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

I'm just like, yeah, we both light up.

[Jordan Myrick]

Do you like the ocean?

[Syd]

I'm scared of it a little bit.

[Olivia]

But I do cuz you died there.

[Syd]

And I might be because I died like deep, deep down there.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Syd]

And so maybe I'm afraid or maybe I'm afraid of the top of the sea. Cuz I'm like what the is this? I'm used to the deep deep sea.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely, that makes sense.

[Olivia]

I feel like I'm on some level I'm a little girl in a farming village like in like or like a medieval village. And I'm like get, I get like.

[Syd]

So you died when you were little?

[Olivia]

Ah, maybe Like I, I feel like I get. I don't know. I'm making this up right now just based on vibe. Like I feel like I had a basket of shit I gave out to people or something.

[Syd]

You were little Red Riding Hood.

[Olivia]

Maybe I was a little Red Riding Hood. And I also feel like there's a world where I was prey in the past life.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like some kind of antelope or something.

[Olivia]

Any kind of prey.

[Jordan Myrick]

I feel have a very youthful energy.

[Olivia]

Nice.

[Jordan Myrick]

And so I think dying young feels.

[Olivia]

I might have died young rather like.

[Jordan Myrick]

Maybe an animal or a human.

[Olivia]

Yeah, yeah. And. And prey often dies young.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow. Okay. Tell us who you were in a past life in the comments.

[Syd]

All the comments are Marilyn.

[Olivia]

Marilyn. It's Marilyn Monroe and JFK at the same time.

[Jordan Myrick]

I also couldn't think of a single person I was like, who was I? Anna Nicole Smith? Julia Child? I couldn't think of one single person who died before I was born.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

It might be why so many people say Marilyn Monroe. Cuz they're just trying to think of.

[Olivia]

Anyone who would love to say that you are someone who's still alive in a past life.

[Syd]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Olivia]

Like I was Barack Obama in a past life.

[Syd]

And it's like what does that even mean?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. But you know there's someone out there preaching that.

[Syd]

Of course.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think you have to stop being friends with this person. Yeah, this person is annoying. That's what I take.

[Olivia]

Yeah, they're gonna, they're gonna make you your life worse.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. And take the spirituality out of it. This person's just annoying. Insert sports, insert swimming.

[Olivia]

You can find other people who like spirituality and don't use it against you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, absolutely. This person seems condescending and annoying and negative. Negative. So just stop being friends with them. Especially if it's long distance.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Cut easy them off. Just like unfriend. Them on Instagram and there's no problems.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. Do we have time for one more cue?

[Jordan Myrick]

I think so.

[Syd]

Even.

[Kendall Landreth]

And one more even.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, let's just do the question. No answer.

[Jordan Myrick]

Am I the. Because my ex recently reached out to say she needed a friend, I blocked the number after telling her. I know this comes off as very cold and rude, but I don't think it's good or appropriate. Appropriate for me to be someone for you to lean on. Of course I care if you are safe and I hope you're doing well, but it's not good. I have blocked her number many times over the years and she eventually contacts me with a different number. I've had so much trauma with her post breakup, and she was very inappropriate to my now husband. When we first started dating, she discredited my queerness, showed up at my place begging me to come back with her, and was touchy with me when she ran into me at a bar. I think it's reasonable that my husband doesn't care for her and was uncomfortable when I tried to maintain a friendship with her. I started blocking her numbers and she acted as if it was a shock to her when I didn't invite her to our wedding. To me, it seemed like she'll never be able to maintain an appropriate friendship with me. While I know that her family life is very difficult and she's been through a lot of trauma. Mama. I don't think it's appropriate for her and I to be friends in the way that she wants me to be.

[Syd]

I think you and I both know that you are not the.

[Kendall Landreth]

You're fishing.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're fishing for a compliment.

[Syd]

I think we know that you are not the. And this seems like a really harmful situation for you.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think something to remember that other people's trauma is not your prison.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you can feel so you like that. That's beautiful. I literally thought of that just now.

[Olivia]

Oh, my go.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow.

[Olivia]

Tattoo that. Really Tits.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. I just thought it was good for them.

[Syd]

I did not realize that you just came up with that.

[Jordan Myrick]

I've never heard anyone say that. And if someone did, then I'm sorry, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone say.

[Olivia]

No, they've never.

[Syd]

They've never said it.

[Olivia]

No. No one said that.

[Kendall Landreth]

What's like, the rules for coming up with, like, a saying? Like, if you come up with people.

[Olivia]

Go, oh, and then you have to loudly claim it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Somebody says, tattoo that across my tits.

[Kendall Landreth]

But could you trademark and then be like, rich forever?

[Olivia]

I don't know.

[Syd]

I don't know if you can make money off of a phrase, but if.

[Kendall Landreth]

Someone puts it on a shirt, you.

[Syd]

Can make money off.

[Jordan Myrick]

Didn't Paris Hilton trademark? That's hot.

[Olivia]

Or she just tried, but she's rich enough to trademark.

[Jordan Myrick]

She tried to. Or she did.

[Olivia]

I don't think she was successful.

[Syd]

Okay, but, like.

[Olivia]

But you could make shirts that say that and get rich that way. But you probably.

[Syd]

But I don't know if people would walk around with shirts that say, don't forget that someone else's trauma is not your prison.

[Olivia]

Some people might. Some people might.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, girl.

[Kendall Landreth]

Especially if it's bangs.

[Jordan Myrick]

Would.

[Olivia]

Maybe it's in a fun font. Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Come on.

[Olivia]

I was picturing.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right.

[Syd]

I think they, like, if it's like a word art thing with.

[Olivia]

If it was flames. Yeah. Yeah.

[Syd]

That's funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

100.

[Olivia]

We got, like, a thing. Like a fake cartoon horse.

[Kendall Landreth]

She does have it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Who?

[Kendall Landreth]

She does own the.

[Olivia]

Oh, she owns it. Well.

[Syd]

And is she making money off of that? Is there any way to know?

[Jordan Myrick]

Can you call her?

[Syd]

Can we call her?

[Jordan Myrick]

Do you know her? Paris? Hey. Can you come in here?

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, like, I'm sure. Well, no. Eleanor Roosevelt is.

[Jordan Myrick]

What? Are you going to pass life?

[Olivia]

Yeah, actually.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I was. And you were her, actually. Okay. But I could see that, actually. And I found out Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt was what? What?

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall literally just learned about Eleanor Roosevelt yesterday. No, I did not. Yes, you did.

[Kendall Landreth]

I did not. I know who she is. I know about her daughter got a.

[Jordan Myrick]

Lobotomy Pride event at the Getty. Eleanor Roosevelt didn't get a lobotomy.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, I said her daughter got. Wait, no, that was a Kennedy.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Wait, you thought she got a lobotomy and then you were like. You were her.

[Olivia]

She's literally. That's for you. We. Oh, my God. That's so you.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, but we were at the Getty Pride event, and Kendall, like, came over. I sprinted, and. We're not other friends who are lesbians. And was like, oh, my God, you guys won't believe this. And we were like, what? And she was like, allegedly, they think that Eleanor Roosevelt was a lesbian. And we were like, yeah, literally everyone knows that. Like, my nana knows that. Every single person alive knows that. Sorry, I didn't know that.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I was going to say, did you know that?

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Did you know?

[Syd]

Yes.

[Olivia]

I did not.

[Syd]

Lincoln was gay.

[Olivia]

Oh, I.

[Kendall Landreth]

How do you know that? They just.

[Jordan Myrick]

Documentary outfit.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Syd]

That's like, just, like, a common thing.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

Is like, he had, like, a gay relationship with.

[Olivia]

And Nancy Reagan was the throat goat of the, what, 90s?

[Kendall Landreth]

What does that mean?

[Olivia]

She. She's apparently famous for giving amazing head. I didn't make it up.

[Kendall Landreth]

Maybe I was dancing at B.E.

[Olivia]

Yeah, that is on the Internet, and it is not something I.

[Syd]

He needs you.

[Kendall Landreth]

I really think they need to make a biopic because wasn't there some under. I wish I knew more information about it.

[Olivia]

You know what I want desperately? I want a fucking retelling of the Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe story where they're secretly in love.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, but wasn't there, like, with those two? Wasn't there, like, an underground lesbian ring of, like, Audrey Hepburn?

[Jordan Myrick]

No, Katherine Hepburn. And not with the two of them.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, but I'm like, they could have been a part of it. I'm just saying that's the same time period. Weird, right? A little bit, Yeah. A little.

[Olivia]

We should do. We should do a fancy bracket.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, like sports brackets.

[Olivia]

Yeah, sports brackets. Who would be your top four lesbians in the underground thing?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, you'll have to pick top three draft lesbians for our fantasy team.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, wait, what does that mean? What does that mean?

[Jordan Myrick]

I said what? I said.

[Syd]

No, thank you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Positive. You can out them now.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, and is it old school?

[Jordan Myrick]

Like an old Anyone?

[Kendall Landreth]

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, so you go first. Kendall, you go next. Pick one.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, my God.

[Syd]

Maybe like one or two.

[Olivia]

It's a good.

[Jordan Myrick]

She had a blonde, like, little, like, faux hawk.

[Syd]

Okay, well, if we're going Top Chef, I'm gonna put Kristen Kish in mine.

[Jordan Myrick]

You can't jump the line.

[Kendall Landreth]

This isn't.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm. This isn't.

[Kendall Landreth]

What is it called? Uno.

[Olivia]

This isn't Uno.

[Syd]

[Jordan Myrick]

You could use strategy right now.

[Kendall Landreth]

What? I was gonna. No, I can't remember the name.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, my God.

[Kendall Landreth]

Who was the girl who won a loan? No, she didn't. She didn't win, but she eliminated herself from a loan. Was she Elizabeth Lesbian?

[Jordan Myrick]

No.

[Kendall Landreth]

I would put her in mind.

[Syd]

An outer, though.

[Kendall Landreth]

She what?

[Jordan Myrick]

Pick one lesbian.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay. Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. Oh, okay. I'm gonna go. Holland Taylor from Riford.

[Olivia]

Oh, are we going again? A second round.

[Kendall Landreth]

Three and three.

[Olivia]

Oh my God. Can I have taken Notaro?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

Great.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's a great one. I'm.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay. I'm going to go Eleanor Roosevelt.

[Jordan Myrick]

Great.

[Olivia]

Nice.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, final round.

[Syd]

I want to do someone like really historical and fun but I can't think of anyone who is like an old, old, old lesbian. Old, old, old lesbian.

[Olivia]

Maybe just an old old, old lesbian.

[Syd]

Like is there like a really famous cave woman?

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, they're like oh, oh, oh. Well, I can't say because you didn't take it.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's not your turn.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, no, I'll let you take it. Well, you don't have to.

[Jordan Myrick]

You have to wait.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, I know mine. I know mine.

[Syd]

Okay, let me think, let me think. Okay, I'll do, let's do Cynthia Rivo.

[Jordan Myrick]

Good one, good one. Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Syd]

She's in the shocked.

[Olivia]

No, Gabby, Gabby, Windy.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fun Queen Latifah.

[Syd]

Queen Latifah's a lesbian?

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Wake up.

[Syd]

Wait, wait, how did I wake up?

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, wait, really?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wait, how did I know that?

[Olivia]

Yeah, always like 247 like every single.

[Kendall Landreth]

Day since the hairspray when she was in hairspray.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, no way earlier than that. That was not that long ago.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh wait, she was always gay.

[Syd]

Oh my God. I had no, no idea.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, let me see if there's any.

[Jordan Myrick]

Information on when she came out.

[Syd]

Also apparently Jennifer Kulage.

[Jordan Myrick]

Really? Yeah, she said it in that person's tik tok. Yeah, that's apparently she's never said explicitly I'm a lesbian. But she has a long term father and they have a son and like you know.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right.

[Syd]

That's amazing.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I love.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm sorry we've said this before but like that generation of women really, cuz you know, now everyone's like I'm queer, I'm queer. Which is awesome, which is so great. But there is this generation of women and that's like have I had sex with a woman? 100%. Have I dated a woman for years? 10 years. Yeah, it was incredible. Am I gay?

[Jordan Myrick]

No.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, not gay. I just fucking can be in love with women. And I'm like, I. That is a real ally.

[Syd]

I think it really depends on your parents perspective on things. Is the way that you decide how open you are about things is My theory, but I could be wrong.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, Kendall, you got one more.

[Kendall Landreth]

Can I say two?

[Jordan Myrick]

No. Please. Why?

[Kendall Landreth]

Because I remembered two, and I want to remove one of mine. Who's my last person? I didn't care about them that much.

[Jordan Myrick]

Eleanor Roosevelt. I'm taking.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm taking Holland Taylor off.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's crazy.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm taking Eleanor Rose. I just want to name two.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fine.

[Kendall Landreth]

Niecy Nash.

[Syd]

Oh, yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Cuz I can't pick. I should pick Necy Nash.

[Kendall Landreth]

Necy Nash. And I gotta pick Amelia Earhart.

[Syd]

Oh, Amelia Earhart was the lesbian.

[Jordan Myrick]

Look up a picture of her. Yeah, allegedly.

[Kendall Landreth]

Honey.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

I didn't have to come out. She was in the GSA club at my high school.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Kendall Landreth]

She just looked gay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fans, do your work. Write these down in the audience and then decide who would win.

[Olivia]

Yeah, that's beautiful.

[Jordan Myrick]

So write it down in the comments. Okay. Wow, we really did it. And then one last thing. You're just gonna say yes or no. Is this person an.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Am I the. For dumping a girl because she revealed she did not know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg was? Are. Is that person an. That did the.

[Kendall Landreth]

I need to know how long they were dating.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, there's no more information. Yes or no? Are they an the person they were dating did not know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg was. The only context we. We have is that this was in 2020 and RBG had just died.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, they're not an.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, I think so.

[Jordan Myrick]

You think they're an asshole A little bit.

[Syd]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, no, no.

[Olivia]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. That they. No, no, no. They're not an. Because they. I think it. I think they're valid a little bit.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Olivia]

Okay.

[Syd]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

You want to ask who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is? Yeah.

[Olivia]

The only caveat I'll have is, like, if everyone is like a pre teen involved, then I think we're. It's fine. Or if in the middle of nowhere, like, if we're off the grid. Sure. But I don't think that was the context.

[Syd]

I don't think they're an asshole, but I think it's like, definitely could have been like, just a conversation.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

They didn't have to do it, but I don't think they're an asshole for doing it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm going to go asshole.

[Olivia]

Great.

[Jordan Myrick]

To me, this is. Reading is the type of person that's like, you don't know what this is. Come on.

[Kendall Landreth]

But it's such a hard line because it's like most stuff I would be like, yeah, you're an asshole. Because I'm like, people are knowing stuff. I'm like, who cares? Like, they don't know that thing. Who cares? That feels like crazy. Like, that feels like there are a couple things I'd be like if someone was like, what's Covid? I would be like, what?

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Syd]

2020, though.

[Jordan Myrick]

This was in 2020.

[Kendall Landreth]

Her movie just came out.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. But I'm like, I don't know. To me, it just feels like someone being like, RBG is like, the most incredible, perfect person that's ever existed, which.

[Syd]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Didn't come to light. That's not true. It's kind of giving. Mother Teresa.

[Syd]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Remember we found out Mother Teresa was bad.

[Syd]

Yeah. And I do think that, like, maybe for them, that was, like, a sign of something larger or, like, that could.

[Olivia]

Have been a signal.

[Syd]

Yeah. That was, like, a, you know, one thing, but there were more things.

[Olivia]

You're not tapped in. I could understand. Yeah. Breaking up with someone because you're like, oh, I'm very politically aware, and you don't seem to care at all about that. And, like, that's an important thing for me. Totally get that. But, yeah, if it was truly only that, that's a little harsh. But at the same time. Time, maybe you guys aren't supposed to be together.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think that's true. I think you can break up with anyone for any reason whatsoever, and if you want to break up, you should break up because you're not making the other person happy by staying together.

[Olivia]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

But at the same time, I do think this reads as behavior a little bit. I'm sorry.

[Olivia]

Absolutely perfect.

[Syd]

20, 20 heightened emotions. Maybe you were just, like, really on one with your, like, justice.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Olivia]

You're having a justice moment.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, absolutely. All right, well, we've really sorted out a lot here today.

[Olivia]

We've sorted out a lot of.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, thank God. We had so many that needed sorting, and we sorted all of them. Everyone already knows where to find you because everyone already loves you. But in case this is the first time they've ever, like, left their house and listened to anything, where can they find you?
