Main Themes & Key Discussion Points

• Origin Story: The guests recount how their friendship blossomed, from pregame social media meet-ups and tequila shots to a legendary spontaneous Cancun trip together.
  • Blessed recalls the “test” of live-streaming at a party:
    “She was live…I was just drunk as…‘You’re live? Shot?’…She gave me buzz ball, I took it, didn’t say no… Oh, I f*** with you!” (Blessed & Karen, [06:24])
• Organic Connections: The group underscores the value of authentic, unplanned bonding, especially in contrast to typical influencer alliances.
• Outfit Synchrony: The way they unintentionally match clothes reflects “soulmate” friendship status (Karen, [08:04]).

2. Growing Up Latino, Internet Fame, and Staying Humble ([13:00–19:00])

• Realness over Clout: The panel shares why they never judge people by followers or social status; authenticity is what matters.

• Machismo vs. Modern Masculinity: The hosts model vulnerability and warmth, debunking macho posturing.

3. Podcasting Benefits & Unexpected Growth ([15:27–18:45])

• Personal Development: Eddie, who self-declares being “not a big talker” and socially anxious, notes podcasting as genuine self-improvement:
  • “Doing the podcast has actually helped out a lot…helped me talk better to people.” (Eddie, [16:38])
• Chemistry & Comfort: The La Platica crew praises Cruda Corner’s chemistry, predicting big things for their future:
  “Your guys’ chemistry is amazing. When you hit 218 episodes, it’s gonna be crazy!” (Josh, [18:00])
• The Importance of FOMO: The teams’ constant “FOMO” keeps their content fresh, since they’re always seeking new stories.

4. Life Goals and Creative Aspirations ([19:27–22:00])

• Branching Out: Blessed shares ambitions to start a regular “show” (e.g., cooking series with guests).
• Trendwatching: Diving into why watching people eat (mukbangs) is so addictive—“big mouth and slurping is the secret!” (Josh, [21:42])

5. Halloween Festivities, Bartender Ernie, & Bad Sex Superstitions ([24:34–28:00])

• Signature Cocktails: Ernie crafts spooky drinks (“Scary Spooky Skinny Margarita” and more), inspiring a deep debate about what makes a cocktail “skinny,” and why it’s controversial to order one at the bar.
  • “If you’re going out of your way to get a skinny margarita, just take a shot!” (Karen, [28:48])
• Sex & Superstitions: Toasting etiquette leads to the infamous “seven years of bad sex” warning for not making eye contact during a ‘cheers’.

6. Food Debates, In-N-Out Secrets, & Pickiness ([41:15–47:00])

• Korean BBQ Orders: Rapid-fire round for favorite proteins and hot takes on octopus.

  • “It’s just not visually appetizing…not something I would pick.” (Blessed, [41:49])
• Secret In-N-Out Menu Hacks: Laugh-out-loud moment where Josh describes eating “the ass of the burger first”:
  • “I pull the panties off…flip it over and eat that…it’s all moist, all the juices…” (Josh, [44:14])

7. Spicy Conversations: Mexico, Hangovers, and Hot Sauce Mount Rushmore ([49:43–55:15])

9. Relationships, Love & Single Life ([89:03–93:59])

• Blessed’s Approach to Dating: Not actively seeking love but open to it if it comes. He doesn’t want to have to “check in” with someone constantly.
  • “Once I do settle, I want to settle for the right person.” (Blessed, [90:56])

10. Media Nostalgia & Family Traditions ([78:39–81:42])

[Eddie]

Yeah, has been. It hasn't been two years yet. Sure.

[Blessed]

Well, whatever. Back to the podcast. The day that you. They were filming. I remember I got a call from our friend Brian and he's like, bro, Karen, Eddy want me to pick them up, but I really can't right now, so please do me the favor, go to Joey's right now and pick them up, cuz they're driving and they can. And they can't drive anymore, so go pick them up. And I was like, okay. I get there, they're like, what the are you guys doing here? I was like trying to pick you up.

[Jess]

This guy. Yeah, that was super fun.

[Josh Laber]

I feel like you guys were like, meant to be, like friends.

[Jess]

How did that happen? First of all, we can't forget that we actually have a bartender who's very similar, familiar with LA Corner.

[Blessed]

Yes, we got to give it up for her.

[Jess]

But the best drinks in the world is Ernie. The one and only.

[Karen]

He put elbow grease in them drinks.

[Blessed]

Yeah, people love Ernie.

[Jess]

But yes, back to the story. How did that even end up happening? Like the friendship, like who introduced who? Who gave the alley oop?

[Josh Laber]

I feel like this is through like social media that you guys had met.

[Eddie]

Yes. And no. We went to a. A friend of ours club hosting and he was there. And that's how kind of we, we started talking a little bit.

[Blessed]

Yeah, I got introduced through our friend Brian and then he was like, yo, this is Karen and Eddie. And then I remember one of my first interactions was I went to like, it was like a little pregame and Karen was live on her phone at the middle of the pregame. And I remember I was just Drunk as. And also I was like, oh, you're live. She gas. It was up. I was like, yo, what's up? Let's take a shot.

[Karen]

Yeah. And I had a big buzz bun. I was like, oh, take a buzz ball. And then I gave him some. He took it right away. He didn't say no. So I was like, oh, I with you?

[Blessed]

Yeah. Did you say like you were testing?

[Karen]

I was testing the waters because I was like if you would have said no or like he wouldn't want to be on my life. I'd been like, all right, I see who you are.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What really kindled the relationship was a drunk night though. We. We drunk planned a Cancun trip.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

And him and Dez were the only ones to go. Dez ended up leaving after 2 days cuz she had to go. And he ended up staying with us extending for almost a whole week.

[Blessed]

What?

[Josh Laber]

How long did you guys stay out there?

[Eddie]

Like six days.

[Josh Laber]

Damn.

[Eddie]

And it was supposed to be a two day trip.

[Karen]

Oh my God, six days.

[Josh Laber]

So much fun.

[Karen]

Just, we're just having fun. Like we all got like. We all went to the club, went to Coco Bongo like twice. We kept going to the streets. We ended up getting couple massage and he got his own.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

I wasn't annoying.

[Josh Laber]

He said that ass. Huh?

[Blessed]

No, but when he said it was a drunk night, it really was a drunk night. Cuz it was from one day to another. I remember we drunkly booked the trip and I remember me and De walked out and we're like, like what did we just do? Like we didn't even know them like that. Like we want to go on a whole ass trip to Mexico with them. But we and ended up establishing a really great friendship.

[Eddie]

That was one of the best trips ever too.

[Jess]

So much fun feeling when you actually can have an organic relationship just like that immediately. That's really cool.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Karen]

Yeah. I remember going to the airport. I was still shy and hey.

[Eddie]

Yeah, me too. And on top of that I was trying to vlog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's kind of awkward when you're vlogging with people you've never filmed with before.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And but nice. Everything was just so natural.

[Karen]

But we started drinking right away so like it went from like, hey.

[Jess]

It'S like you guys already knew each other for a while. Yeah.

[Karen]

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

[Eddie]

Hand and I was doing like, the one arm.

[Karen]

[Eddie]

[Jess]

[Eddie]

It was really funny though.

[Karen]

The photos were crazy.

[Jess]

You guys just went with the flow. Yeah, it was.

[Karen]

And then he was like, oh, give him a kiss. And then what were you saying?

[Blessed]

I was like. I was like, no, we don't like public affection.

[Karen]

But he was so into it. They even did like the Titanic pose where like, Eddie was holding Blessed like this in the water and I'm just in the back laughing my ass off. And everybody in the, like, resort is just like. Cuz they had a whole, like, hour shoe. Like, I'm not even lying to you.

[Blessed]

Yeah, well, like, I was enjoying it. He was enjoying us.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he was having a time of his life.

[Jess]

He, like, look back, they're like, naked in the sand.

[Blessed]

We like, car their names on the sand.

[Karen]

They had hella funny pictures. I wish we could get those.

[Eddie]

Ah, yeah. I wish you would have collected them, bro. That would have been hilar. Hilarious.

[Josh Laber]

That's so funny. I saw the podcast that you guys just did with Smutty Not Fart. Smutting that. Fart.

[Jess]

No, that's. That's good.

[Josh Laber]

That's a good name.

[Blessed]

Money not far Money.

[Eddie]

Not fart is crazy.

[Blessed]

I wasn't even close.

[Josh Laber]

Funny. Not. No. Pretty, pretty, not smart. That's what it is. I think they should change their name.

[Jess]

Honestly, I think they just did. I think they did.

[Josh Laber]

And I saw you were talking about how Louis thought you were shy.

[Karen]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Laber]

I could not even imagine you as like a shy person.

[Karen]

It's because, like, I mean, if you want. Did you watch the whole thing?

[Josh Laber]

Yes.

[Karen]

No.

[Josh Laber]

He's like, I did. I did, and I thought I was kind of juicy.

[Karen]

It was just because, like, people were weird sometimes. And, like, how. He literally said, I tested the water with him when he was on the live. Because I really wanted to think about it. I was like, oh, like, you, me or no? Like, yeah, because, you know, I never see anybody for their numbers. Like, you can. Somebody can walk in. They have like 10 million on Instagram. I'm not there. Like, hey, like, what's up? Like, you know, I feel like I see everybody for themselves. Like, I really care if you have following on Instagram, YouTube or the. You are. Right. But some people do. And when I was barely coming up, mind you, there was times where I felt like I had more followers or actually proven scientifically factual. I did have more followers than certain people, but then those people would still act like they Beyonce. And so that's why. So when I had those interactions, I became a little shy because I didn't want people to think that I was there. Like, fangirling.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, yeah. Because she had met Louie and Louis, thought she was really shy. And then she kind of had a story about, like, she went up to somebody that she kind of, like, thought was cool. Like, right on some. I love what you do.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

And they, like, try to act like. They try to like Eddie.

[Blessed]

Didn't you think I was like that at first, before you even got to know me?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I was a little scared of me. When I first met Blessed, I was.

[Jess]

Scared he was, you know who he was already, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jess]

You already followed each other on Instagram?

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no. It was our first time meeting, but I was scared he was gonna give me that reaction, like, little bro, me, you know, like this bro.

[Josh Laber]

You guys have, like. And I mean disrespect, because I was the same way, too. You guys were so normal for, like, such a long period of time of your.

[Blessed]

Right.

[Josh Laber]

So I think, like, you. You guys. The way you guys. You guys viewed creators, you guys, like, admire creators. So when you guys finally made it and we're talking to creators, you expected that kind of energy from them, but they. You kind of realize how people are.

[Karen]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

So you guys weren't afraid to come up to people because you were like, fans, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Laber]

I've had that experience too. Like, I didn't start making videos. I was like 22, 23. So when I would go up to people, I had that I've had that experience so many times, especially when I was, like, up and coming. People are weird, man. People are weird.

[Karen]

Hello, weird. I'm like, but I bet you want to throw these hands right now. What's up?

[Jess]

Yeah, I was scared to say that. I always say that. Like, what she just said. Like, I bet she won't throw these hands right now because it's like the same thing. Like, people become brave, and you always think, like, you know any. Like, I'll kick your ass right now. You know what I mean? Like, people never really think about that. People.

[Josh Laber]

Have you ever just watched somebody in the face for just being an.

[Jess]

I would like to sometimes, yeah.

[Josh Laber]

But I don't.

[Jess]

Mama. Mama taught me well, you know, I'm not going to do that. But, yeah, it's so crazy how, like, people will act up and you're like, you know, I can kick your ass right now. Right?

[Blessed]

Like a taekwondo class in Hawaii. Tokyo, Japan.

[Jess]

Yeah. I am a karate master now, and I box. So, yeah, you up.

[Eddie]

I thought it was very comforting when I met Blessed, and I thought I was gonna get that reaction off of him because he's, you know, he's a. He's a big figure on social media. When I met him, he was a real cool dude.

[Jess]

So that's. I got the same thing, too. Honest.

[Josh Laber]

It doesn't cost anything to be nice. I don't understand why people are so just weird about being kind of.

[Jess]

I can't stand bro.

[Karen]

At the end of the day, we're all regular, regular people. We all come from different backgrounds. Like, bro, I don't give a. Yet 100 million followers on Instagram.

[Josh Laber]

About 200 million.

[Jess]

Yeah. I can't stand that. So it's just. It costs nothing to be nice.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Jess]

So how many episodes are you guys down now?

[Blessed]

18. We just filmed our 18th episode.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Karen]

And today we're doing 19.

[Jess]

You guys are filming out already? If you guys don't already know, especially talking to people who watch the Platica. I'm sure you guys already follow them, but they post every Sunday. We'll put their description down here as well. They are hilarious and have great camaraderie, just like Josh and myself. And I want to know, like, what's something that you didn't think that you were gonna love so much about podcasting?

[Karen]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Blessed]

It's a good question.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

I love getting questions asked. Like, I never think about answering one thing. I love about podcasts. I just think the space overall and just, like, the type of content it is compared to, like, our normal vlogs that we already post as it is, I think, like, the environment, it's just so different, and, like, we were so blessed to go into it, and people welcomed us with open arms, and I feel like it just made it a lot more easier for us to do. Me, personally speaking, what do you guys have to say about that one?

[Eddie]

Well, I don't think I could beat that answer. That was a great answer.

[Blessed]

I had that memorized in my brain.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I was scared. Starting a podcast. I'm not a. Off camera. I'm not a big talker. I'm like, I have social anxiety.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I feel like this is.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. To this day. Well, I feel like doing the podcast is actually helped out a lot. Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I'm able to, like, I feel like it's helped me talk better to people.

[Jess]

Yeah, I said that before. Yeah, it does.

[Blessed]

Well, I feel like we. Because I feel like we got really good with trying to interview people, because with that first one was Adam, and obviously we love Adam, and it's, you know, it's easy to talk to him, but it's also. It gets to the point where, like, you got to know how to, like, keep the conversation going.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Jess]

It's a great. It's a great exercise to do regardless. Right. Like, let's try to keep a conversation for, like, two hours. Yeah.

[Blessed]

Right.

[Jess]

But, yeah, you do become a better talker. What about you, Karen?

[Karen]

I just like the fact that it looks good in my portfolio.

[Jess]

It does. It looks really Good.

[Karen]

I'm a YouTuber and a podcast put me on noticia. Like, you know, like, it just looks good. And then, like, he said, like, it's a new space. I feel like when I do a YouTube video, I'm like, it's on the moment. Like, what are we doing right now? We're doing this, this, this. But when we do the podcast, I'm like, I did this, and I felt like this, and I wanted to do this, and I got to experience this. Like, it's more like you can elaborate. Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Take your time.

[Karen]

And you get to interview people.

[Jess]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessed]

And I think we all just, like, already, like, just yap within each other. So, like, it's cool that, like, now we have a platform to do it on.

[Eddie]

Now we can do it in front of a camera.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Those are like, my favorite moments with you guys. And I've told you guys this before. Just when you guys are starting the podcast, you could just tell it's, like, genuine Conversation because you guys are friends and it's just like, it's just, it's really good. Your guys's chemistry is amazing. And I feel like you guys have grown as podcasters just in like 19 episodes. It's gonna be crazy when you guys get to 218. Is that where we're at?

[Blessed]

That's so crazy.

[Eddie]

218 episodes.

[Blessed]

I can't even like imagine us going that far down because I already put.

[Eddie]

My two week notice. I almost quit last month.

[Karen]

Jess, can I have PTO please? Tired of these.

[Jess]

Well, I feel like you guys can do it. I feel like if anyone can do it, it's you guys. You guys have like, like Josh said, such good chemistry. And you can see when you guys watch your guys's videos that you guys enjoy doing it.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Jess]

You know, it's easy to be like, oh, there's a lot of people. And you know that, that they'll film like, like eight episodes and then take a break. Yeah, yeah. And then come back to, you know, maybe a month or two, which is fine.

[Blessed]

But at the end of the day, it's also because we have an amazing team that you guys can make it.

[Jess]

So easy for us to do it as well.

[Karen]

And because us, we've all three of us in this damn sea, we all have fomo. So we always constantly have things to talk about.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Karen]

When's the last time you stay home more than three days?

[Josh Laber]

Oh, that's a crazy question.

[Eddie]

It's been a long time.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh my God, it has been a long time. Been celebrating your birthday for the past five days.

[Jess]

That's right.

[Blessed]

I know you guys, the whole team was singing Happy Birthday to me upstairs and Karen's like.

[Jess]

How many wishes have you. Have you. Have you sold?

[Blessed]

Such a funny question. Cuz literally upstairs, I was like, no, I already wish.

[Jess]

You don't say the same wish.

[Josh Laber]

I say different. Woods, you got to double down on the wish, bro.

[Blessed]

No, I did.

[Josh Laber]

Okay.

[Blessed]

I do like three wishes into one. So, like the ones I want to happen the most, and I repeat, you know.

[Jess]

Yeah, yeah. What's something for yourself as an individual that you want to accomplish? Like this year or the, the year coming up or just now not your.

[Josh Laber]

Wish, cuz then it won't come true.

[Jess]

Yeah, no, yeah, no, but something like, you know, like, you know, like I'm. I'm this amount of age and this is what I want for myself.

[Blessed]

It can be anything I wanna. Oh, that's a good one. I was talking to them. I want to start like My own, like, type of like, show. Like when I say show in a way of like, like a series, like a series on my channel, for example, like a cooking where I like bring guests on and like, I do something with them.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, that's cool.

[Blessed]

Like something I could do consistently on my channel. I think that's one of the biggest things I want to work towards this upcoming year.

[Jess]

I like that.

[Josh Laber]

Like developing a series.

[Blessed]

Exactly.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. Almost like a podcast, but just very like.

[Blessed]

Exactly. But not a podcast.

[Josh Laber]

But not a podcast.

[Blessed]

I want to make you feel like a YouTuber.

[Jess]

Yeah, that's fine. Cooking fast.

[Blessed]

Yeah, I love cooking. We cook all the time.

[Eddie]

People love cooking content. We're surprised.

[Karen]

Remember we went the biggest, fattest concha ever.

[Eddie]

Yeah, bro. We made a big ass concha.

[Jess]

Yeah. During co, my wife and myself, she started doing like cooking videos and we would just jump on that and people loved it and we never brought it back.

[Eddie]

No, but I love it too.

[Karen]

Like, have you ever been on Tik Tok and y' all see like the sora from like from Mexico, like in Hero Amano and I'm like, damn, so good. I will do anything to have breakfast with y'. All.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Even like mukbangs. I love watching.

[Eddie]

I love watching people eat.

[Josh Laber]

Weird too. It's weird.

[Eddie]

I'll be in bed in the middle of the night.

[Blessed]

Why do you think that, bro?

[Josh Laber]

You know what it is, is the way people eat. I think like people who have like big mouths, like, I don't know what it is. Like if they have a big mouth. The way they take bites and they slurp like the whatever and the sh.

[Eddie]

Just dripping down their face gets me going. I'm get you all.

[Jess]

Yeah, me too. Me too.

[Karen]

Is because some people could eat really good, like, right, like juicy. Like, Like I could have a bag of chips and you can have your bag of chips, but it's the way you eat them that makes me want to crave your chips instead of mine. Even though we have the same chips.

[Josh Laber]

Okay, now that I said about the whole big mouth thing. Watch the people that you like, watch eating and see like their mouth is big because they take like big, like voluptuous bites.

[Blessed]

Voluntary. I like that word.

[Josh Laber]

Slurp. It's a big mouth and slurping. That's the secret to being a successful mukbanger.

[Karen]

Hey, but those videos kind of get on my nerves at night though, because it'd be when I'm hungry as fuck, be there like watching videos and then I'm like, I want to Snack Now.

[Jess]

You know what's crazy? All that AI video. Now, have you seen those AI videos where, like, they're cutting a diamond or something like that? It's like a 3D illustration where, like, animation and it's like the sound of if you actually could cut a diamond or like, they cut glass or they'll cut some sort of material that you never have thought to be able to cut. Yeah, you haven't seen that, bro.

[Josh Laber]

It's cool. It's really.

[Jess]

I can't.

[Karen]

That.

[Jess]

Where do you guys think AI is gonna be in the next year or two?

[Karen]

That's just scary.

[Eddie]

That is scary.

[Jess]

Like, with all the influencers that are being created with AI and stuff, and they have hella followers and.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, this is it. But you gotta play it, Jess, because, like, the audio, like, makes.

[Jess]

Like, he's cutting a ruby diamond with a knife, which is impossible.

[Blessed]

Hey.

[Eddie]

Hold on. That just sounded kind of wet. Am I tripping? Why is it so wet like that?

[Blessed]

It's like, give me a. Yeah, me too.

[Josh Laber]

Like the tingles, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Karen]

That means you guys, like asmr.

[Jess]

Well, does something to our. To our brain, because we've never seen that image before in our life. This is the first time you ever seen a diamond get cut like that? Yeah. So it gives us.

[Karen]

I've never thought about it like that.

[Jess]

It gives us a weird. It's almost like when you're a baby and this is the first time you see something, you're like, oh, cool. Cool. Oh, right.

[Josh Laber]

Like an infatuation.

[Jess]

Oh, Happy Meal. Right?

[Josh Laber]

It's new.

[Jess]

Yeah, it's new to you. That's new to me. That's why people love those videos, because it's new to us. We've never seen that before.

[Eddie]

That makes sense.

[Karen]

Have you guys ever used, like, ASMR to go to sleep?

[Jess]

Yeah, Yeah. I like the barber ones.

[Josh Laber]

That's what I'll do.

[Karen]

What?

[Josh Laber]

I'll listen to podcasts, like, to help me go to sleep, because my mind, I just can't stop.

[Karen]

I listen to, like, sexy Ready, say, like, really?

[Jess]

No, I. I listen to ASMRs, but, like, when they go to, like, those barbershops in China or the barber shops in. In Turkey where they do massages.

[Blessed]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess]

They'll get your ear.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, I know. That feels kind of good.

[Jess]

Oh, you'd be so into it, bro. There is also ASMRs, where if you wear actual headphones, you can hear it on one side and then they'll hear.

[Blessed]

The audio is.

[Jess]

What is it called?

[Blessed]

8D audio.

[Jess]

Yeah. Yeah, it's like dimensional audio. Like, the person will go this way. How are you?

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess]

And you can hear it. It's weird. It makes up the hairs of on your back.

[Josh Laber]

Wow. I like it. Guys. So quick little switch over to Ernie real quick. Liquid Courage has prepared for us some cocktails that we're about to dive into right now. And I believe he has a spooky, skinny margarita for us. I don't know who requests them, but I'm excited.

[Jess]

What on top?

[Blessed]

It looks like an eyeball.

[Jess]

Yeah, they're like eyeballs.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Karen loves lychee.

[Josh Laber]

Ernie, do you want to describe what we are going to be ingesting?

[Jess]

Oh, that'd be awesome.

[Eddie]

Dude, just think.

[Josh Laber]

Can you give us a little breakdown?

[Ernie]

All right, guys, so this is the first spooky cocktail of the day. It's gonna be a scary, spooky, skinny mark. Tequila, lime agave. And then you have some lychee and blueberries and some grenadine.

[Josh Laber]

Dude, you are. You're good.

[Jess]

He's good.

[Blessed]

And I was good.

[Jess]

Dude, when you're drinking grenadine, that's like some fancy dude.

[Blessed]

Cheers, you guys.

[Jess]

Cheers, you guys.

[Josh Laber]

I was so excited. Oh, my gosh.

[Jess]

Cheers, you guys.

[Eddie]

Cheers, guys. No, it's weird, bro. I'm not gonna touch your glass.

[Jess]

Oh, there's a blueberry inside the lychee.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Karen]

I love lychee.

[Josh Laber]

That's like a.

[Jess]

If you know where the lychee comes from, right?

[Karen]

Don't tell me. I could grow style fast.

[Blessed]

Is it a testicle?

[Jess]

Stop. It's not a testicle.

[Karen]

But it wasn't fruit.

[Jess]

It's very. It's a fruit, but it's a. It's a certain fruit that.

[Eddie]

That has testicles.

[Jess]

That has the testicle.

[Josh Laber]

What?

[Jess]

Really?

[Josh Laber]

This is a testicle.

[Blessed]

That's what I. I could see that.

[Josh Laber]

This is not no testicle. It's just a fruit, dude.

[Jess]

God. Really good drink, Ernie.

[Karen]

That. That's lychee right there. It looks cute.

[Josh Laber]

Ernie, Isn't it not true? Is it true or if you cheer somebody, you don't clink. You clink. You don't look each other in the eye. Seven years bad sex as an experienced professional bartender. Bad sex.

[Jess]

What's considered bad sex, guys?

[Blessed]

When you can't bust.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Is that the number one thing? Okay. Okay, that's it.

[Josh Laber]

She can't get hard for seven years. Should have looked him in the eye, man.

[Eddie]

I'm stand by that. When you can't finish.

[Jess]

When you can't finish.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Okay.

[Eddie]

It's Frustrating.

[Josh Laber]

Maybe somebody you're just like, not really vibing with, like, the chemistry.

[Jess]

I would say that. I would say that.

[Josh Laber]

You know what I mean?

[Jess]

Yeah, but. Yeah, but then that will feel weird, right?

[Josh Laber]

What?

[Jess]

Having sex with somebody that doesn't feel like they want to have sex with you. That's really rap. Like, that's horrible sex, right?

[Josh Laber]

Wait, Ernie, why does. Why is this a skinny mark? What makes it a skinny mark?

[Ernie]

So that's controversial. Skinny mark can be no sweetener.

[Jess]

Okay.

[Ernie]

But it could also just be. You use agave over like a simple syrup or processed cane sugar. Yeah, it's organic.

[Josh Laber]

It doesn't make it any like, less manly, asking for a friend. Like, definitely not skinny.

[Ernie]

Definitely not definitely.

[Blessed]

But like going to the bar and be like, can I get a skinny bar?

[Jess]

I told you.

[Josh Laber]

Thank you.

[Blessed]

Yeah. My guy, bro. That's him.

[Josh Laber]

What?

[Jess]

He goes to the bar and he asks for a skinny margarita. What are your thoughts on that, Karen?

[Josh Laber]

Me or him?

[Karen]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

I don't know, bro.

[Karen]

I can see Karen.

[Jess]

Imagine Eddie already how he is B, right, muscular, tatted up.

[Josh Laber]

Why are your eyes closed like a man?

[Jess]

Right? I'm a hot dog.

[Eddie]

Keep going, Keep going.

[Jess]

Imagine at the bar, can I get a skinny margarita? Skin.

[Josh Laber]

Can I get a skin tea, Mark? Yeah.

[Jess]

Like, what are your thoughts on that?

[Karen]

That has of steak. Like, what is a skinny martini that has no sugar?

[Jess]

Skinny margarita, basically something that had. Doesn't have. To me, a skinny margarita is something that's below 100 calories.

[Karen]

That just makes me feel like you think you're better than me.

[Jess]

Right? Right.

[Karen]

Yeah. Skinny margarita. Like, what?

[Josh Laber]

They just don't use, like, syrups and like, sugar and it's like a diet less of it.

[Blessed]

Wait, so you actually go to the.

[Karen]

Drinking is already still bad or like.

[Jess]

The margarita mix doesn't have that much sugar. It's like the a A diet.

[Josh Laber]

And he just explained it.

[Karen]

Here's my thoughts on that. Here's my thought on that.

[Jess]

If you're going out of your way.

[Karen]

Hold on. If you're going out of your way to get a skinny margarita, just take a shot. If you don't want the sugars. Yeah, it's still gonna taste.

[Josh Laber]

Are you enjoying. Are you enjoying this?

[Karen]

Yes.

[Josh Laber]

This is a skinny mark.

[Karen]

Well, I don't like it that much, actually. It's really good. I like it.

[Jess]

No, this is amazing.

[Blessed]

Well, you guys, what's the difference between Coke Zero and.

[Jess]

Yeah, and.

[Josh Laber]

And diet.

[Jess]

Diet. Diet Coke has sodium. Coke Zero has nothing.

[Josh Laber]

That's not true. Zero has sodium, bro. That's not what it doesn't say.

[Jess]

It's completely zero.

[Josh Laber]

I'm on the chart. They use an artificial sweetener, so one of them uses aspartame and the other one uses sucralose. One is supposed to mimic more of the actual authentic Coca Cola, and the other Diet Coke is just meant. It's just its own thing. But Coke Zero was meant to emulate actual Coca Cola with sugar.

[Blessed]

Wow.

[Josh Laber]

Jess, can you read this out loud, please?

[Karen]

You sound like Chad. GBT I with that.

[Josh Laber]

Coke Zero was formulated to taste more like the original Coca Cola. What I said, while Diet Coke has a lighter, different flavor profile, so what's healthier? Sure, they're both the same. Okay.

[Jess]

They're both the same. Just preferences.

[Josh Laber]

They sweeten it like the sweeteners that they use.

[Jess]

I personally enjoy a Diet Coke.

[Blessed]

I like, like, Coke Zero.

[Eddie]

I like Coke Zero.

[Karen]

I like Coke Zero, too.

[Jess]

Yeah. But I drink so much of it that.

[Josh Laber]

You want to switch it up.

[Jess]

I like Diet Coke now. Better.

[Josh Laber]

They just came out with a Diet Coke. Lime. Have you seen that?

[Karen]

I just started putting lime in my Coca Cola and it's actually good.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I haven't tried it.

[Blessed]

We were in Mexico on, like, a brand trip, like, a year ago, and you guys know who Jake Weber is?

[Eddie]

I was gonna bring that up right now.

[Jess]

Jake Weber?

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Isn't that the telescope at the.

[Blessed]

No. You know.

[Karen]

No, he's a YouTuber.

[Jess]

Oh.

[Blessed]

You know, Tari Yummy is.

[Josh Laber]

Kind of creator.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

They're always together.

[Blessed]

Yeah, they were there as well. And we were at the bar and we just casually. Eddie and I casually hear him ask the bartender, hey, can I get a Coke with some sliced jalapenos inside of it?

[Eddie]

What?

[Karen]

And a tahin rim.

[Eddie]

He had a tahit rim.

[Jess]

And I think he threw that tahin.

[Eddie]

In the Coke as well, bro.

[Josh Laber]

That's actually. That sounds kind of good.

[Eddie]

He ordered two.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Did you guys ask him, like, is it good?

[Eddie]

I didn't. I was like, I've never seen that before. Said it's really good. He down both of them.

[Blessed]

Yeah, he explained it, too.

[Eddie]

He had two.

[Blessed]

Yeah, he explained it as in, like, he likes to just experiment with the. With the bartenders and just ask for new stuff. I'm like, I guess that was like, his drink of the choice right now.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Karen]

Wow.

[Jess]

It looks fire. Karen's like, wait, that's not cool. No. No one cares. Kind of want to take a shot?

[Blessed]

Here's a.

[Josh Laber]

See, we were just talking about this. It takes one, two shots. Two shots. Gets Me going, one shot. I can stop.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Two shots. You can't stop.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I. I'm the same way, bro. Man. How many shots are we in right now? Three.

[Jess]

That's why the first shot always has to be the biggest.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Jess]

Because that. Oh, that. That equals to, like, basically two. So you're already at that two. So you don't have to wait for the two to start that roller coaster of a night.

[Karen]

I like the science behind that one, Tim and Thunders.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Instead of taking one little ass shot.

[Josh Laber]

Skinny Mark. Told you it hits.

[Blessed]

Damn. You already smacked that.

[Karen]

I was about to eat the cup.

[Josh Laber]

I know. I know what I'm doing.

[Jess]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Laber]

Is this. I feel like it's a little lighter.

[Karen]

But you know why I'm hating on you is because I'm not a drink girl. I know. I mean, I'm all a pirate. Like, you know, it's because when I go to the bar, I don't like nothing sugary, so I'm like.

[Josh Laber]

So you don't enjoy drinking, like the.

[Jess]

No, we're not saying skinny margaritas are nasty. We're saying you shouldn't order one. We respect the skinny Mark.

[Josh Laber]

Honestly, that's fair.

[Jess]

It's. You shouldn't order one.

[Josh Laber]

That's fair.

[Jess]

You're giving.

[Karen]

When you order that. When I picture that, it's like a girl that's like. Like, all I had to eat this week was, like, one cucumber.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, And I'm already full. I don't say it out loud.

[Jess]

I have my madness.

[Josh Laber]

One of these, like, the Liam, like, skin.

[Jess]

Karen, can I get a skinny margarita? Should we do the buffalo wings, too? Like what?

[Josh Laber]

Skinny buffalo.

[Jess]

Should we do the loaded nachos?

[Blessed]

Like bros, bro.

[Jess]

The thing is, he orders skinny margarita at Buffalo Wild Wings.

[Eddie]

Who does that, bro?

[Jess]

You know what?

[Eddie]

You put me on tequila sodas.

[Karen]

Nastiest I've ever had in my life.

[Josh Laber]

That hits right there, bro.

[Jess]

So you've never had one before?

[Eddie]

Nah, that was actually my first time.

[Blessed]

Wait, can we talk about that night?

[Josh Laber]

Yes. What night was it?

[Blessed]

The Dodger game night where the podcast was even brought up as a. An idea.

[Josh Laber]

Holy.

[Eddie]

It was, man. Robert, I love you, but you, bro.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You got me so drunk with those old fashions.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. Because we started old fashioned favorite drink.

[Blessed]

But then we started ordering tequila sodas to our seats. Doubles. Yes.

[Josh Laber]

So the whole tequila soda thing for me is like, I've been. I'm on my skinny girl kick always. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to cut calories. Whenever I can, I respect calories.

[Jess]

Wherever I can, I respect that.

[Josh Laber]

Okay.

[Karen]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

So tequila sodas, zero calories besides the tequila, which has probably like 98 calories. I don't know, give or take. You can look that up, Jess. It's probably on point. So that's how I started doing that, because it's just like, easy to drink. It gets the job done. And I just. Sometimes I just don't want to rip a shot. So that's kind of what, like, started that for me. But then you got to do some limes. But occasionally I get over it. So the. The skinny mark, it's just more limey. That's all it is. It's a tequila soda with more lime time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that makes sense. That was my first time trying to old fashioned with tequila too. Yeah, we drink like three of them back to back.

[Blessed]

Yeah, you guys, this was.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, we took you guys to the Dodger game, bro.

[Blessed]

But this came into conversation because we had just. Well, you guys didn't go, wait, who's there?

[Jess]

Who was there?

[Blessed]

It was just.

[Eddie]

It was Robert and. Which is us four.

[Blessed]

Yeah. Wow. But it came to play because I just came back from Coachella with you guys, and then obviously we got super close on there.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

We're like, hey, bro, let's hang out again. And then Robert's like, let's go with Dodger games. I got so Josh too, too. And I was like, hey, can I bring my boy Eddie? He's like, hell yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. And then we ended up going to the Dodger game, and then we went to, like, that speakeasy.

[Josh Laber]

Yes. There's a speakeasy at the Dodger stadium. If you know. You know. Yeah, I think it's kind of like public information. I don't think.

[Blessed]

No.

[Jess]

Is it considered a speakeasy? I don't think it is.

[Josh Laber]

It is.

[Jess]

Anybody can go in.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. But you have to whisper when you're in there.

[Blessed]

You have to speak easy.

[Jess]

Okay, so now it's speak easy. Yeah.

[Blessed]

Is that what they call it? Speakeasy?

[Jess]

Yeah. Speak easy, bro.

[Josh Laber]

During the time of.

[Jess]

During prohibition.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. Like, you could. People, bars, alcohol was like, illegal, so they had to start these, like, a little process.

[Blessed]

That's why I said the concept of it being, like, hidden.

[Jess]

Yeah. Like, hey, yo, chill. Like, I got alcohol. It's kind of a cool story.

[Blessed]

It's a cool story.

[Jess]

Like, it was right after the. The. The. The Pirates of the Caribbean days.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, no, after Pirates of the Caribbean too.

[Jess]

Yeah, after that. So like, back in the Day like when guys saw Dress the same and it was like that kind of time.

[Karen]

I wish I was a pirate one day.

[Josh Laber]

That's what you would go back to if you would go back to like, oh, yeah.

[Blessed]

Can we tell them how our dream is to go to a bar where they play sad music and it's like Captain Hood playing the piano.

[Karen]

Have you guys watched Shrek?

[Josh Laber]

Yes.

[Karen]

When who. Who goes in there? The dad. He's trying to like drug Fiona to make him fall in with all status. So he goes to the bar and it's the ugly stepsister cleaning the cup.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Karen]

What is that?

[Blessed]

Captain Hook.

[Karen]

Captain Hook's out playing the piano and singing, like with him voice.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Is this a concept you were coming up with or is this a real thing?

[Karen]

No, it's a real thing.

[Eddie]

It's in the movie.

[Josh Laber]

No, but like outside of the movie.

[Karen]

That's like my dream. Like, I just want to go to a bar where it's like all dark and like everybody's sad and there's like a pirate.

[Josh Laber]

It's like a dive bar, almost kind of like.

[Jess]

Like a piano bar.

[Karen]

I want to get to the front and then they're like, I don't even have to ask. And be like, you want a shot? A double. Yes. And then be like, what happened? I'm like, he broke up with me.

[Josh Laber]

You got.

[Jess]

And then you walk out and it's like the double sliding doors like that.

[Karen]

And my horse is waiting for me outside.

[Josh Laber]

That's what I want name Lucky.

[Jess]

It's the. The little. What's that thing where they collects the.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. Tumbleweed.

My birthday this Friday, dude, happy birthday, by the way.

[Blessed]

Thank you, bro. Appreciate it.

[Jess]

Happy birthday, by the way.

[Blessed]

And thank you.

[Josh Laber]

And you look great for 24, man.

[Blessed]

Do I?

[Jess]

Yeah, yeah, that's when I was older.

[Josh Laber]

When I met you, bro, I had no idea.

[Jess]

Your aura. Not the way you look.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, yeah. Not the way you look at all. I thought you were at least, like, not that much.

[Blessed]

25.

[Josh Laber]

24? Yeah, 25.

[Jess]

You look 24 away.

[Josh Laber]

But, like, looking at you. Yeah, you look like 23. 23.

[Blessed]

Thank you, bro. But anyways, back to the clubhouse scene. I was a vampire. And that day prior, I had bought a cape from Amazon. A vampire cape.

[Josh Laber]

Cape.

[Blessed]

And tell me why. I opened the cape. And I have, like a. I smell like a. It's a stench. And I'm like, okay, it's not that bad. Maybe it's just, like, the packaging. But once I started sweating inside the club that smelled like. What'd you call me?

[Karen]

Vanessa came up to me and he was like, hey, do I smell? I give it a little. I didn't even get that close. Yeah, I was like, damn, you smell like a mojara right now.

[Blessed]

So then I took the cave off. I already sweat like, yeah, damage is done.

[Josh Laber]

The.

[Blessed]

I was wearing a satin shirt under. The whole stench was all over the shirt. Someone over here taking pictures with people smelling, like, straight.

[Eddie]

The statue was all over the section. Yeah.

[Blessed]

But then, like, I feel like nobody would have, like, been like, oh, blessed is gonna be the one that smell, you know?

[Josh Laber]

So, yeah, I always made sure I.

[Blessed]

Had someone next to me so then they could be like, oh, you know it was them.

[Jess]

Yeah, there's no way the birthday boy smells.

[Blessed]

Yeah, there's no way.

[Jess]

But now they all know that it was you.

[Blessed]

Yeah, but now they know it's me, you guys. But not intentionally. Like, I showered and everything.

[Jess]

Like, do you sweat easily?

[Blessed]

Yeah, from my back.

[Jess]

I do.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That was your karma, though.

[Blessed]

My karma for what?

[Eddie]

For making fun of me at the gym that whole day.

[Blessed]

Oh, this smell like the Korean market one Time at the gym, the tik tok shop.

[Eddie]

I had bought a sauna shirt. Have you guys seen the shirts? I like tight shirts. I bought it, I took it out, the packaging.

[Blessed]

I didn't smell anything.

[Josh Laber]

To sweat. Like, you were trying to, like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I was just trying to.

[Blessed]

He layered that shit with, like, three more pieces of clothing on top of it.

[Eddie]

I had a sonic suit, a shirt, and a crew neck.

[Blessed]

Neck.

[Eddie]

So we're hitting chest or some. And when I started sweating, I was like, hey, bro, does it smell fishy to you? And I smell myself. I'm like, oh, it's me. And never let it go.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

I was making fun of him the rest of the day.

[Karen]

Now he's my life. A fried mojara at the club.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, I did. It was bad, bro.

[Jess]

Yeah, I know it's bad.

[Josh Laber]

That was stuck in your head.

[Jess]

All it was, bro.

[Blessed]

But thankfully, like, I was vlogging it, and I was like. I was like, I stink like Pascal right now, but it's okay because I'm still outside. Yeah, I see my whole perfume on.

[Karen]

Him when he's, like, sprayed me.

[Jess]

Dang, that's the worst, bro.

[Josh Laber]

I sweat all the time. So when Robert, like, goes to with us to, like, events and stuff like that, he always tells me to bring two shirts, and I always bring, like, a little. I try to bring, like, a little.

[Blessed]

Oh, you're a back sweater, too.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, bro.

[Blessed]

Oh, me, too bad.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, this is. Yeah, you got to be prepared, baby.

[Blessed]

But, like, I don't switch on my.

[Jess]

Face like that, though.

[Josh Laber]

No, me neither.

[Blessed]

Thanks.

[Josh Laber]

No, my face is good. It's Gucci.

[Eddie]

No, I feel like the older I'm getting, the more I sweat.

[Jess]

Salute. Cheers. Happy birthday. Bless us.

[Blessed]

Thank you, brother.

[Josh Laber]

Dude, seven years bad sex. What did we just talk about?

[Eddie]

Oh, sorry.

[Blessed]

Did we make eye contact?

[Josh Laber]

We did it.

[Jess]

Cheers.

[Josh Laber]

Shouldn't it be the opposite? Like, if you actually complete the mission? Seven years great sex. I don't make the rules, man. Cheers.

[Jess]

What is your favorite protein dish? Like when you go to a Korean barbecue and you order like.

[Karen]

Yeah, your protein dish, spicy garlic brisket.

[Jess]

Oh, where'd you get that? I haven't seen that on the menu.

[Karen]

I like that one. The spicy one, too.

[Jess]

Yeah. I like brisket.

[Josh Laber]

Spicy garlic brisket.

[Karen]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

Short rib.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Jess]

It's goaded.

[Karen]

And I like the raw octopus. All Ursula cooking right there. I like that one.

[Jess]

Damn.

[Blessed]

I don't like octopus.

[Jess]

No, no.

[Blessed]

Unlike squid or octopus.

[Jess]

No, it's not something I would pick.

[Blessed]

It's just, like, cute, you know? How they say, like, you eat through your eyes. Like it's just not visually appetizing. Yeah. Like you see.

[Jess]

But you don't consider yourself a picky eater, do you?

[Blessed]

I do, actually.

[Karen]

He's very picky.

[Eddie]

Super picky eater.

[Karen]

Super, super picky.

[Jess]

Are you. Do you like tomatoes?

[Blessed]

So I do. I do like tomatoes.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, thank you.

[Blessed]

But not from in and out on my burger.

[Jess]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Laber]

Because they're stringy, bro.

[Blessed]

You bite into it and you just like.

[Jess]

Yeah, the tomato is streaky, streamy. A tomato stringy?

[Blessed]

Yeah, it's like the. The outer.

[Eddie]

What's up?

[Jess]

The crust?

[Josh Laber]

Like the. Yeah, yeah, like the peel.

[Blessed]

The peel of the tomato when you bite it from the burger. Like, doesn't.

[Josh Laber]

You don't.

[Blessed]

It's hard to bite.

[Karen]

Just bite it.

[Jess]

Good.

[Karen]

Take off your.

[Jess]

Yeah. How are you biting it? You slurping that?

[Karen]

Veneers. Take them all. Bite it.

[Jess]

Right.

[Blessed]

I wouldn't know.

[Karen]

Everyone's go to in and out order. Go.

[Jess]

Mine's very simple. It's just a double. Double. I. I think now that I'm a little older, I don't get grilled onions anymore. I just get the raw onions. They're very fresh to me. Really animal style with pepperoncinis.

[Blessed]

My shit's complicated as especially because recently I've been trying to eat healthier.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Blessed]

So my healthy in and out order is can I get a 4x2 protein style, no salt, no spread, mustard and ketchup instead. No tomato, whole grilled and raw onions.

[Jess]

How the does that look like?

[Blessed]

And that's it?

[Karen]

Yeah, it looks like a salad. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That shit's fire, though.

[Josh Laber]

That is. It's a good, like, lean meal too.

[Karen]

I get. Nobody asked, but I'm gonna say I get a number two.

[Jess]

Okay. That's a regular cheeseburger.

[Karen]

No, no, no, no. I get a number two. Mustard, fried tomato wrapped, not protein style. Tomato wrapped with pickles and just regular fry on the side.

[Jess]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Mine is simple like yours, bro, but I get raw in grilled onion.

[Jess]

Yeah, I like that too.

[Eddie]

I get a mustard fried really good.

[Blessed]

That's just so good. But then your breath be.

[Jess]

Yeah, After.

[Karen]

Oh, yeah. I only get raw onion. I don'.

[Ernie]

What about you?

[Josh Laber]

Three by two, chopped chilies, whole grill, raw onion, animal style, fries. And then I do a flying Dutchman onion wrapped.

[Jess]

O.

[Eddie]

Damn.

[Josh Laber]

But I'm not. I'm not. I don't really eat a lot.

[Jess]

Tell them about the rap about how you eat the burger's ass first. Tell them.

[Eddie]

Wait, what?

[Josh Laber]

That's an in N out. Trade secret, bro.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jess]

It's.

[Josh Laber]

It's.

[Jess]

It's actually really good.

[Josh Laber]

Watch.

[Jess]

Check this out. Okay.

[Josh Laber]

I eat the ass of the burger first. What's the ass? Yeah, the bottom part of the wrap.

[Jess]

So I've taken a wrap out, I.

[Josh Laber]

Pull the panties off of the little brown thing. I flip that over, and then I eat that.

[Blessed]

What's the satisfaction behind that?

[Josh Laber]

It's all moist. It's all juices of the in and out.

[Jess]

Like, that's so true.

[Blessed]

Because you buy your burger and that shit's drippy.

[Jess]

Yeah. So he turns that around and he eats the first.

[Blessed]

I take the panties off and then.

[Josh Laber]

I flip it over.

[Karen]

Over.

[Jess]

Are you taking the panties off completely or do you.

[Josh Laber]

There's two panties. There's the pants and then there's the panties.

[Jess]

But are you sucking on the panties after?

[Josh Laber]

Don't need to do all that.

[Blessed]

Have you ever.

[Jess]

There's cheese there. There's cheese there.

[Eddie]

There's cheese.

[Blessed]

Have you ever accidentally bit the panties?

[Josh Laber]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess]

Oh, yeah. You have to eat it. Yeah. Is there another type of food that you don't eat that will consider you a picky eater? Cuz you like tomatoes?

[Josh Laber]

I'm going to.

[Blessed]

It was like seafood, honestly.

[Jess]

Got it.

[Blessed]

Cuz I wasn't a big fan of it growing up at all.

[Jess]

So do you eat water chilies?

[Blessed]

What the is water chilies?

[Jess]

I watch chiles.

[Blessed]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I like water chilies.

[Jess]

Okay, you're good.

[Blessed]

But I just like.

[Jess]

God, you're talking about, like, I've never heard of raw.

[Josh Laber]

Like, more raw.

[Blessed]

Yeah, more raw. It was. It was. Until I went to Japan and I.

[Josh Laber]

Was like, all right, bro.

[Blessed]

I cannot be a right now. Like, I just got to like, just do it. Because a lot of their food is raw or like undercooked, even like steak or something. You know, they give it to you basically alive. Like that's just breathing when they give it to you.

[Karen]

I like that. Yeah.

[Jess]

Yeah. So but what about like, like a scallops or oysters?

[Blessed]

I don't like scallops.

[Jess]

I'll tell you what. I went to Japan on my anniversary last year, and there's a place called Tsukiji Market, the biggest fish market in the world. I went there and I said, let me try one of your oysters. Pinchio still on this big for that, I think had Ojo's on that. And I was like, damn, this shit's huge. And over there. Pause. And over there, they don't have like Tabasco, Sally. It's just raw. And I was like, it. I'm right next to my wife. I don't want to be a about it. Right? I. I swallowed it. I couldn't do it. It was this big.

[Josh Laber]

Spit it out.

[Jess]

It was the closest thing I ever got close to having a pee pee in my mouth. It tasted like that. It felt like a silky burger. That's crazy.

[Karen]

Take your shot, though. Right there. It's waiting for you. It's getting hot.

[Eddie]

God damn.

[Jess]

No, like, it was like. It's weird to compare, but like, maybe like, I don't know, dolphins or something big, bro. The ocean was this big way.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, that's disgusting.

[Jess]

Like that. And I had to turn around because I didn't want to be disrespectful to homeboy that gave it to me. Yeah, but food, no mamas, no Tabasco, no nothing. Just like that.

[Josh Laber]

That's like kind of like nothing.

[Jess]

Not that way. Just. It tastes like mad. Yeah.

[Blessed]

When we went to Japan, we were having like. They were big, though.

[Jess]

The oyster here, the oysters are this easy. I love oysters. Yeah, over there like that. We can feel the Venice dog. See if I can make Karen laugh. That's cool, right? I'm considered funny.

[Josh Laber]

That's crazy.

[Jess]

Am I considered funny? Because, bro, I saw a tick tock and it went viral and it said, you guys don't understand, but people who are funny, you have to really realize that they're super intelligent. Because to be that witty and funny and quick with it. You're a genius. I consider myself a genius.

[Karen]

I'm glad because I've had an oyster before where it's like passed down and I brought it back up and then passes.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Karen]

So I couldn't imagine.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, I know.

[Jess]

That was bad.

[Josh Laber]

I had to do big oysters, bro. I can. I can spot them.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Karen]

Wait, have you guys. Wait, I forgot what I was gonna say. Oh, yeah. Have you guys had a oyster shot?

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Those are good.

[Josh Laber]

Those are good.

[Blessed]

I had one in Oregon.

[Jess]

Those. I like oyster shots.

[Karen]

When we went where we went.

[Jess]

I understand. Because it's with alcohol. Yeah. No, they're good. In Mexico, they have them a lot. But pincho stone is this little. It fits in a shot glass tacos. The oyster I had. I'll try to get a video of it and show you guys. It was this big, bro. You would need a galon de leche to do a shot with that.

[Blessed]

You're not supposed to chew on them. I guess they expand more the more.

[Jess]

You chew on them.

[Josh Laber]

Swallow that.

[Blessed]

Yeah, apparently, allegedly.

[Josh Laber]

There's no way, bro.

[Blessed]

How'd you fit that?

[Jess]

You know what?

[Eddie]

You. You had to double hand it, nuna.

[Jess]

But it was this big, bro. Like that, and I couldn't fit it in my mouth. Pause again.

[Josh Laber]

Damn. Look at Ernie right now putting that. Bro.

[Karen]

I didn't know we're doing hookah. You know what I'm craving right now?

[Jess]

What?

[Karen]

I'm craving somebody in Rosarito to pick me up and turn me around in circles. And me. You know what I'm talking about?

[Jess]

That's so crazy. You know what I'm saying right now? I want them to get my head and just twist me around and pour shots in my mouth.

[Karen]

I'm craving that.

[Jess]

Imagine. I never heard that before. Someone craving that.

[Blessed]

Hey, wifey, I was saying let's talk about how we were having withdrawals in Japan.

[Karen]

Oh, yeah?

[Josh Laber]

What do you mean?

[Jess]

With draws. That's a thing. You know that, right?

[Josh Laber]

No, go, go.

[Eddie]

You got it.

[Karen]

When we went to Japan, Well, I was a little prepared. You weren't prepared at all.

[Blessed]

I wasn't, but I was.

[Karen]

But you were kind of surviving off of me. So when we went to Japan, like, mind you, I love Korean food, Japanese food, Chinese food. I love it all. Like, I always said that, like, that's my favorite food before.

[Jess]

Or.

[Karen]

No, I like Mexican food. I love Mexico, but it's like, it's up there.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, Chinese food is good.

[Karen]

So when I was going to Japan, I was like, I'm ready. Like, this is. This is where I'm about to come back to. Like, I'm gonna come back fast because I love all that, right? But I was like, you know what? Like, I don't know too much because I've never been to Japan. So I was like, I'm gonna take tapatio and, like, limon packages and stuff like that. But that's all I took when we were there. We were there for how long?

[Jess]

How long?

[Blessed]

Like, eight days.

[Eddie]

Like n. I was like, six days. Nah. Was it more than a week? It was like six days.

[Karen]

All right, whatever. We're there for six days. By day two, we were like. My coochie said she, I want some hot Cheetos or something.

[Blessed]

Red 40s band out there.

[Josh Laber]

They don't do any kind of spicy.

[Eddie]

No, even their chips are healthy as.

[Karen]

They're like crab cake chips. What is that?

[Josh Laber]

The sushi is good, right?

[Karen]

No, sushi is fire. But I needed the. I wanted, like, a chile to more. Or Tapatio.

[Josh Laber]

None of that.

[Karen]

Nothing.

[Eddie]

Nothing.

[Josh Laber]

No, nothing. No, they don't have, like, sriracha and.

[Karen]

Then they had a sopa maruchan. Right. But it was called something different. But it looked exactly like a somaluchan. When I. When we bought it and it came to us making it, it tasted so, like, it needed chicken bouillon. It needed chicken bouillon, and it needed, like, the way I eat it, so I couldn't really enjoy. It was good, but, like, I was having withdrawals.

[Josh Laber]

Did you guys go to, like, the 7 11s, obviously, and do, like.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

Are those good? Like, the little, like, egg sandwiches? Yeah.

[Blessed]

No, they're fire.

[Jess]

They're fire.

[Karen]

They're fire. But the. With were. Were real.

[Blessed]

It was just, like, such a different. Like, just your appetite.

[Karen]

When we were in Japan, we were. We were going out, too, so we're drinking and stuff. So, you know when you. When you drink, you want, like, jack in the box. You want, like, something, like, saltier, like chips, chamoy, tahin. When we were out there, there was nothing.

[Josh Laber]

You guys eat spicy food, a spice with, like, every single. To the point that, like, when you don't. I always make a comment like, wow, I eat that with no chile. Like, I. I know that I did. Didn't. Like, it's, like, it stands out to me.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Karen]

No, I had to. I had to eat everything with chile.

[Eddie]

They actually had a fire ramen spot. It's called ichiran. And I think that's why we ate it so much, because that was the spiciest meal that we were eating.

[Josh Laber]

They do have spice, but it's like a paste. Like a.

[Blessed]

It's a paste. Exactly.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Karen]

Has spice level.

[Jess]

They don't have your. It's not, like, Mexican spice. Well, yeah, you can find it, though.

[Josh Laber]

But if you go to Korea, I heard they're, like, huge into spice.

[Blessed]

I want to go to Korea.

[Jess]

Oh, my God. They're way bigger into spice.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, that's. That's all their.

[Josh Laber]

I had a friend who worked at El Pescador and he memorized. He wrote down their recipe and he kept it in his wallet and he worked it when he was like, 16. So he would always, like, pull that out. We would ask him, like, yo, make us a Michelada. And he had, like, the perfect recipe for a michelada. Yeah.

[Karen]

[Jess]

Oh, yeah. So we were fortunate.

[Josh Laber]

Story.

[Jess]

Yeah. You we didn't tell before. I. I say this story. This is not who I am. This is not my character. But we were fortunate enough to have Adam Ray. Okay. On our podcast. By the way. That's. That's the username Adam Ray.

[Blessed]

Love Adam.

[Jess]

Because I feel like a lot of people mispronounce his username. Or maybe that's Adam Roque.

[Josh Laber]

Huh?

[Jess]

Adam Roque.

[Josh Laber]

Roque.

[Jess]

No, no, that's.

[Eddie]

Nah, it's Adam.

[Jess]

[Josh Laber]

Okay.

[Jess]

So we were fortunate enough to have them and you guys were the second. Karen, Nettie, were the second podcast that I ever felt super lit. The Adam Ray. Okay. Was the first for me. That was the one I got the most littest I've ever been on on a podcast.

[Karen]

Can I like intervene and just say that Adam is our friend and I can strongly agree why you feel like you got drunk with him.

[Josh Laber]

And you know what it is? He's so comforting. Like, you just feel like. Like I'm home.

[Karen]

I'm good. He's comforting and he love to drink. He's the only other person that can top my drink level.

[Eddie]

He'll offer me a shot. I'm like 10 shots deep. And I'm like, okay, let's do shout out.

[Jess]

Shout out to Adam. So we drank and we drank meal.

[Josh Laber]

Well, that was the second bottle we drank.

[Blessed]

Voluntarily. Like, what?

[Jess]

Why did it come.

[Josh Laber]

To us and we didn't have another bottle?

[Jess]

Yeah, I think we drank tequila first.

[Josh Laber]

Yes. F. We drank tequila first and then we wanted to keep drinking. And we're like, we have another bottle, but it's mescal. And he's like, I'm down. Let's run it.

[Jess]

Yeah. And he was down and he was a great time. We had a great conversation. I mean, if you guys remember, in that little shoe box, it was me. A big ass couch. And then you had a chair like that on the side. So Adam sat next to.

[Blessed]

So it wasn't in the studio?

[Jess]

No, I was in the shoebox. The one where Kare. And so we got trash and we had a great episode. Everything was good. I felt okay until we ended the podcast. And then normally we would. Back then, there's a restaurant in Woolen Hills called Joey's.

[Karen]

Yeah, that's what you guys were supposed to take.

[Jess]

Yeah, we didn't even make it.

[Eddie]

That was your guys neighbor. No.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Jess]

So we would always kind of like, you know, that was like, with me and Josh kind of were like in a. A honeymoon phase because we were like filming barely together there. So we'd always celebrate on every episode, literally. I don't know why we stopped doing that. Really. I don't know how we stopped doing that. So we'd always go to Joey. So, like. Yeah, because we'd get to Joey's and like, it's straight red carpet. Like, they would bring a red carpet for us and everything was free and it was just a great time. Oh, did you guys just get finished filming? Yeah, how'd you know? Oh, because you guys always come over here.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Jess]

All right.

[Blessed]

All right.

[Jess]

Anyways, so I'm like, all right, I'll see you guys at Joey. So I uber to Joey's and then I wake up the next morning.

[Blessed]

What happened, bro?

[Jess]

Josh calls me and he goes, bro, are you okay? And I'm like, I don't know. I. I don't remember anything what happened. And I'm embarrassed to say, but I. I didn't cause any harm or anything like that, but I guess I was just acting like a Nino Perido around the little plaza.

[Josh Laber]

Can I take over? Cuz this is where I was fully engaged.

[Jess]

Please don't make me look that bad.

[Josh Laber]

No, no. So after we left the. The podcast, we ubered it went to Joey's. Not that far down the street.

[Jess]

Right.

[Josh Laber]

This fool sitting next to me. And he keeps telling us, like, yo, I got to pee. I got to go to the bathroom so bad, right? So we're like, dude, we're literally almost there. Like, just give us, like, a moment. This fool just, like, jumps out of the car. Car. As we're, like, at a stoplight, runs out of the car. The guy, like, pulls over. He's like, is he good? And I'm like, yeah, he's totally good. We pull into the Joey's, and se is nowhere to be found, okay? And I'm literally, I'm just gonna wait right here until he comes back because he knows we're going to Joey's. For everybody listening, he. It was like a stoplight. It was safe and sound. He was fine. I'm waiting for, like, 30, 40 minutes, bro. I'm just waiting there. Nothing to hear from him. And then I'm calling him, right? I have his cell phone in my pocket.

[Jess]

For whatever reason, I have this phone.

[Josh Laber]

So now I'm kind of freaking out because I'm like, holy. I don't know what this means, man. Is I finally, I'm like, you know what? I'm going to ask a security guard to see if they see him. So I go up to the first security guard I see, and I'm like, hey, have you, have you seen this man? I describe him, right? Tall, dark, handsome, looks like my Luma from Wish. And he's. I know exactly what you're talking about. So he goes, he was here. He was just kind of, like, running around. And I think he's in the other parking lot across the way. Like, another, like, like another, like, area. I get over, I, I run a key. The guy's like, you know what? I'll escort you. Because I, I, I think he got held up by, by, like, the cops. And I'm like, what the. So we cross over, and there's, like, a little pumpkin patch area going on. Like, they're doing a whole pumpkin pass thing. And there's, like, four cop cars. The lights are on everything. And Sebas is smashed against the cop car, arrested.

[Jess]

Peace up style.

[Josh Laber]

And I'm scared because I'm like, what just happened? The cop comes up to me. Do you know this man? Absolutely. Is my best friend. We just finished recording the pod. He's like, is he, is he okay? Is he intoxicated? I was like, I don't believe so. I think he just had a couple, like, one, maybe two. Because years totally show, bro.

[Blessed]

But you guys finish the whole.

[Josh Laber]

And then he goes, okay, okay, well, everything's fine. He's kind of being a little disruptive. And he also said that he had a gun on him. I'm like, a gun? And I'm like, no, he didn't. I knew the cops was bullshitting me, bro. I feel like it was all a lie because I was like, I promise you, this man does not have a gun. We literally just finished recording a podcast down the street. There's no gun on him. As soon as I said that, they checked him real quick, and then they just let him go. And then they just swerved off like they were gone. And I was like, bro, what the happened? He's like, I have no idea. He could not even, like, have a hold a conversation with me. He's like, I don't know what happened, but there's a McDonald's right there. Can we go? So we went to McDonald's.

[Jess]

Yeah, bro. I was on the hood like that.

[Blessed]

So, Joey, you didn't go to Jo.

[Josh Laber]

We didn't even make it to Jo. And poor Adam is calling me, trying to figure out what's going on. And I'm like, adam, like, not today. Not today, baby girl.

[Jess]

And I think you told me you got like, okay, huh? Yeah, Adam Ray, we are not okay. And I think he told me he got a flat tire or something, right? Something happened to his car or something.

[Josh Laber]

He had a flat tire. Go help them out with their flat tire, bro. I had a nice.

[Jess]

After that, I was like, yeah, every time I drink mezcal, I have to, like, take it easy. It was very traumatizing.

[Eddie]

Damn, bro. That sounds like a good ass time, though.

[Jess]

It was. It was. If you think about it, it was.

[Josh Laber]

One of those things where, like, a lot escalated but nothing really happened. It was just a whole lot of, like, chaos for.

[Jess]

I'm just glad that Josh was there.

[Josh Laber]

The drink good.

[Eddie]

At first we didn't know. No, no, no. At first we didn't know until we found.

Found out.

[Karen]

But like after he told us, like, oh, it's my grandma's account, I was like, damn, I owe you like, oh, your grandma, like a thousand.

[Blessed]

But then my grandma, like, she doesn't tell me because she loves me.

[Josh Laber]

She saw it.

[Blessed]

Yeah, she sees it, but she's just.

My grandma scared to be, like, not scared, but like, yeah, like, like embarrassed.

In a way to be like, oh, like, mijo, like, you bought my account so she thinks it's me doing it the whole time. So she doesn't want to call me. Like, hey, can you send me like 20 bucks?

[Karen]

Yes, I have. Okay. So he logged into my tv, right? And somehow my TV and my actual Amazon account linked. So I'm able to look at the transactions because, like, I be like looking at stuff for like, you know, for videos and stuff. And one time I was like looking at the transactions and I was like, didn't we. I was like, babe, I was like, you rent this movie and it seems like it expired. And then you rented it again two days later and expired. And then you rented it for the third time and you actually bought the movie. Movie. And I was like, why you. He.

And then I'm like, because he fell asleep.

Because you know how when you ran on Amazon, they give you like three days. They give you three days. But I guess like he was missing the period so he ended up buying it. And I'm like, babe, this is.

[Eddie]

I didn't know I bought it the.

Decade. Yeah.

[Blessed]

You're 11 years older than me.

[Karen]

I love that I got to experience the blockbuster era. Yes, I did.

[Jess]

When me and this were 11 already speaking English, you barely popped out.

[Blessed]

That's crazy, huh? Like, you were already, like, going into middle school.

[Josh Laber]

I was already.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

Wow. We started, like, girls, and you started, like.

[Jess]

And you were very, like, f. I don't even know anything.

[Blessed]

Yeah, but I knew, like, I was going to be here one day, though.

[Karen]

My dad, somebody at his job, they would sell, like, a bootlegged movie. Movies. So.

[Blessed]

My. My real dad did that for a business.

[Karen]

Really?

[Blessed]

Yeah. I just found that out a couple years ago.

[Karen]

Every Friday, my dad would come home with a new movie to watch. He wouldn't know because my parents don't really speak English like that. Now they do, but back then they didn't. So he'd be like, look me how? Like, the guy said, this is like, the best movie right now. Like, let's watch it, and we'll watch it and, like, it'll be like, the newest movies ever. Like Spider Man. Yeah. It would be like, Incredibles, whatever is, like, on theater, but then you play.

[Blessed]

And it's someone recording.

[Karen]

No, no, no. I don't know how this guy. I don't know how this guy would do it, but it was like, the exact, like, movie that we needed to watch. Perfect. Movie. And I would be so grateful.

[Jess]

Like, that's called Sick Plug.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Karen]

My dad would bring a movie every Friday for a long time until that guy got caught and arrested and he got put in jail.

[Blessed]

Free him.

[Jess]

Free.

[Blessed]

Free him, bro.

[Jess]

I'm not saying.

[Karen]

But for a long time he would bring movies home and we would always watch.

[Jess]

Isn't that so kind of. It's like a really cute. Like now you think about it like, that was your dad's thing for you guys.

[Josh Laber]

I mean, he knew that to like.

[Jess]

Make you happy, you know.

[Karen]

It got to a point where my parents thought I was autistic. Autistic for a little bit because my dad brought me a movie home, which was incredible. Was the first movie that ever came out. I love that movie too. Like the Max, that great movie. I watched it like three times a day for like months. And my parents were like, why do you keep watching this movie? Like, what's going on? And know like, when you're autistic, that's like a thing that you want to watch. You like the same thing over and over. So they thought I was autistic for a little bit. But I just love the Incredibles movie. Like, that was sick as. Like, I love that.

[Jess]

I love that.

[Blessed]

What's your guys favorite Disney movie? Favorite Disney or Pixar? Disney and Pixar. The same thing.

[Karen]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Laber]

We can put them in the same.

[Karen]

Same boat Pixar is supposed to be for.

[Jess]

Like, I think we could put them.

[Karen]

In the same boat of older group. So it's like from like 10 to like 15. And then Disney is from like new born to like the other age.

[Blessed]

All right, so favorite Disney movie.

[Josh Laber]

I'm going to go. I'm going. I'm going go.

[Blessed]

Aladdin.

[Josh Laber]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Jess]

That's a great movie. Yeah, a great movie. Great storyline and plot.

[Josh Laber]

Exactly.

[Blessed]

You know what's also up there for me?

[Karen]

Coco.

[Josh Laber]

Coco's fire.

[Jess]

Coco's up week.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, up is up there for me. No pun intended.

[Eddie]

Growing up, I used to love Tarzan.

[Josh Laber]

Tarzan was great, bro.

[Jess]

I love Tarzan.

[Karen]

A Turk. You guys know Turk? The. The monkey.

[Jess]

The monkey, yeah.

[Blessed]

Oh, from Tarzan.

[Jess]

Mine's fast in the first.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Great movie.

[Eddie]

Disney. That is Disney. Disney, Universal.

[Jess]

It's not universal. I would say Ratatouille as well.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, yeah, Ratatouille is a good movie.

[Blessed]

Or Nemo is up there for me too.

[Jess]

Nemo's up there. I still like Ratatouille.

[Eddie]

Nemo's a good one.

[Josh Laber]

Incredibles is really good.

[Karen]

I used to love it. I. I don't like it that much anymore now. But it used to be my. That you know what I think it was? It was. I just like pictured my family being like the Incredibles and like me being part of it and like, you know, I just loved it so much. But now I. With Shrek. Shrek one, Shrek two, Shrek. That is my all time favorite movie of the world.

[Eddie]

You know Shrek isn't Disney though.

[Josh Laber]

I know it's not.

[Blessed]

Isn't that like a story? Like the, the. The creator of Shrek was like.

[Jess]

He left. He left Pixar, son.

[Blessed]

So Shrek is actually a parody of what Disney is.

[Josh Laber]

Stuff like that.

[Eddie]

Like he clowns on Disney a lot in the movies.

[Blessed]

So that's, that's why you see like throw a little mer into the ocean because he's. It's basically like a, like a pun.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

Like Disney. Basically.

[Karen]

The reason why I love Shrek so much is, is because I feel like cuz he like mocks them, but I feel like he's more realistic. Like when you go to like Pixar, it's more like, oh, you're going to find your man, you going to fall in love. But like Shrek is like, nah, that's.

[Blessed]

That threw.

[Karen]

She threw the Little Mermaid in the ocean out with them the same like you. What the. You being on top of a man for?

[Josh Laber]

Also Eddie Murphy as Donkey is. He's so funny.

[Blessed]

Oh yes. But in the sp.

[Karen]

Come on.

[Blessed]

Donkey in the Spanish version was el.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, he's so funny too.

[Blessed]

And Heno is who?

[Karen]

Donkey.

[Josh Laber]

Donkey, bro. He was also talking about how he like converted the jokes to be more like related to like the Latino culture. Culture.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

He changed the jokes as he was like, this joke doesn't make sense. Like nobody's gonna get it. Like we gotta do it like this, like hit more.

[Karen]

And that's why I feel like that's like my top tier favorite movie of my whole life. Because when I was little that's what we would watch with my family because my parents didn't speak English. So like that's what we would watch.

[Eddie]

Shrek in Spanish is a lot funnier too.

[Jess]

Yeah. Honestly, can I tell you what movie that we forgot? That's goated?

[Josh Laber]

Which one?

[Jess]

Cars.

[Karen]

Oh, I do like cars.

[Josh Laber]

Cars is good.

[Jess]

Cars is good. But then you know what I like better?

[Karen]

The ride. Ride.

[Josh Laber]

[Karen]

No, every time I go, I always. $20.

[Blessed]

Yeah. Like, the lightning pass is never available without ride.

[Karen]

Hey, Disney takes my money, bro.

[Blessed]

We're season pass holders.

[Josh Laber]

My favorite thing to do is get faded at Disney, and I go on a single ride.

[Jess]

Well, your favorite thing is to get faded in general.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. And I go on a single ride.

[Karen]

You do? Yeah, I do.

[Josh Laber]

Watch your voice get so deep when you say that.

[Jess]

Yeah. Comes back to my death.

[Eddie]

When he talks to a girl on the phone. That's just.

[Jess]

So can we expose him a little bit?

[Karen]

Are we recording?

[Jess]

Yeah. Does he talk to a lot of girls? Like, does he.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's actually like very low key about it. But when he.

[Josh Laber]

But he does.

[Eddie]

No, yeah, he does. But like, he doesn't like doing it around us.

[Jess]

Got it. Okay.

[Blessed]

He's really private.

[Karen]

He's never for sure never done it around me.

[Josh Laber]

Really? No, no.

[Eddie]

But I've heard him on the way from the gym. The way he, he picked up the phone call was so funny, bro.

[Jess]

How was it? Bro?

[Eddie]

Girl calls him, hey, yo, what's good?

[Blessed]

Nah, before I answer, we ran to, hey, bro, should I answer? Like, this girl, like, wants to kick you right now. Like, shot.

[Jess]

Just do it. Answer.

[Blessed]

I was like, okay, I'll do it. And then what?

[Eddie]

Hey, what's good? Hey, what are you doing tonight? I'm chilling at the crib. You trying to pull up or what?

[Jess]

No way. You talking like that in the background. I'm like, e, bro, Bab, you're dropping.

[Karen]

Your soda on you.

[Eddie]

Oh, sorry. Like, can I bring my pajamas? Yeah, bring them, bring them, bring. Hangs up he's like, she's going to come tonight. She's going to come. And then Karen called me right after, After I was like, hey bro, watch this.

[Blessed]

You called me cuz I was like, girl.

[Jess]

So cute.

[Karen]

Wait, I can't see nothing.

[Jess]

Is, is this, is this something right now that like Bless is looking for love right now or just trying to like fool around?

[Eddie]

Hella dropping.

[Blessed]

I'm, I'm not looking for it, but I'm not opposed to it. If it comes to me, it comes to me. But I'm at the phase in life where I'm like, I'm happy with just living the life I'm living right now, you know?

[Josh Laber]

Like, people can't do that, you know?

[Blessed]

No, they can't.

[Josh Laber]

A lot of people can't live in solitude.

[Blessed]

And I've been in situation where I even had like a talking stage and I've had like a taste of it where it's like I don't feel like I want to update somebody every other hour to be like, what I'm doing and like how I'm living. Like I just like living my life with not having to explain anything to nobody.

[Karen]

Somebody every other hour is crazy.

[Jess]

I know.

[Blessed]

So that's why I have saying.

[Josh Laber]

You're saying like I have to check in.

[Blessed]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like I just, I tell Bless all the time if he ever gets into a relationship, he'll, he'll go in my. On us.

[Josh Laber]

I feel like you've established such like a certain routine for your life. You just need somebody who fits in that puzzle perfectly.

[Blessed]

I think I just been single for way too long to just settle for less, you know? Like I just, once I do settle, I want to settle for the right person. So. Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

How long you been single?

[Blessed]

Like five years.

[Josh Laber]

What's the longest relationship you've been in?

[Blessed]

Two years.

[Josh Laber]

So you know how to be in a relationship for.

[Blessed]

No, I do for sure. But then I got cheated on, so it just kind of like that's your.

[Jess]

Last one that you haven't dived into another one.

[Blessed]

I've had like a couple talking stages where like I was borderline D them, but when it came down to like actually asking her not to be my girlfriend, it never happened.

[Josh Laber]

Is there a little bit of a, like, fear of you, like getting to.

[Blessed]

No, it is. I, I have a friend, I have a best friend who's actually a therapist and I talked to her about it and she tells me like, yeah, it's just you kind of projecting and you, like, not wanting to commit because you're scared of commitment from what happened to you in your past life. Like, no. Yeah, you're probably right. But I'm still in denial. Like, no, it's okay. Like, oh, when the white person comes.

[Karen]

I just feel like he hangs out with us a lot.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Karen]

So when he gets in a relationship, me and Eddie are going to for sure feel it. But I'm very like, me personally, I love. Like, if when he gets a girl, I'mma love that girl, whoever it is. Like, I'm. As long as she love me, I'm going love her back.

[Blessed]

But the biggest thing in my life is my.

[Karen]

He's going to get so distant with us, which is.

[Blessed]

Okay, bro, stop manifesting that energy.

[Jess]

This is the beginning.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you are, bro. You are.

[Josh Laber]

There's anything wrong with that?

[Karen]

There's nothing wrong with that.

[Josh Laber]

It's just kind of like that's just true.

[Blessed]

If it's that way because I don't want you guys to think I'm not.

[Jess]

Going to be your friend anymore.

[Karen]

No, of course not. I just feel like every relationship, when you get like in a relationship, you.

[Josh Laber]

Go through the honeymoon stage, pour into the relationship for.

[Blessed]

No, for sure. I mean, obviously.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Karen]

So me and Eddie are going to feel it. I just know we are.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah. 100%.

[Eddie]

I'm not ready for it, bro. Please.

[Josh Laber]

Part of you guys that's happy about it.

[Karen]

It's not for sure. Like, whenever he finds whoever that. Be happy for him.

[Blessed]

My future wife to love my friends, you know, because my friend. My friends are such a big part of my life.

[Josh Laber]

Are you in this, like, mode of like, your next girl is your wife?

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Whoa.

[Blessed]

For sure.

[Josh Laber]

That's a lot of pressure.

[Karen]

Oh, I can't wait to be a best man.

[Blessed]

So that's why I'm just like, I don't care right now, you know, I.

[Jess]

Don'T like what's something that really attracts you that from, you know, when you want eye. Right now, when you meet somebody, like, what's something that really. Like, what do you. What do you look for in a woman?

[Eddie]

Woman?

[Blessed]

Well, obviously I don't want to. This is a hot take. But I don't want to meet the future love of my life at a club, you know? Like, I.

[Karen]

Why not?

[Eddie]

Yeah. What's wrong with that, bro?

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, honestly, why not?

[Jess]

Did you get me at a club?

[Karen]

No, no. But I'm a civil woman, so I feel like I love to party, so.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah, but you party with your man.

[Karen]

Okay, but hold on. Let me tell you something. I feel like if I wasn't with my man, I'll still be outside. Right. But I know that I'm not just going to dance on every person that I think. Think that, like. No, I feel like if I was single and I was at the club, I'm gonna go party it up with my friends because I've gone on solo trips without Eddie. With my friends, obviously. I know that I'm dating my man. Well, not dating. That's my husband. But I feel like even then I. I would be civil. Like, I'm not gonna be just throwing it back on everybody because just.

[Blessed]

Well, would you agree that, like, it's rare to find a woman in a club that has that same mindset that you have going in?

[Josh Laber]

I think that's a fair.

[Karen]

It's rare. Rare. But it's not impossible.

[Blessed]

No, it's not impossible. Okay. Let me. Let me. What I said, you have to remember. Hard to find that.

[Karen]

You have to remember that when you're young.

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Karen]

Everybody wants to have fun. So you can get the future doctor that's at the club throwing ass back right now.

[Blessed]

Because you know what my dream is, though?

[Karen]

She's just talking. She's just trying to have a day off.

[Blessed]

Yeah.

[Josh Laber]

What's your perfect. Meet cute.

[Jess]

You.

[Blessed]

I want to be, like, on a trip to, like, Spain or something and just meet a random woman. Like, I.

[Jess]

At. At the club. Not even know at the club.

[Blessed]

Like, going to dinner, like, walking the street. Like, you know, like, we just. We bump shoulders or something and like, I'm like, oh, hey, you need papers? Yeah, I got you. You like what? You don't think that's romantic?

[Jess]

I think it's romantic. Nothing wrong with that.

[Blessed]

Obviously. I wouldn't say that. I'm joking.

[Josh Laber]

Like a. Yeah, like, obviously, like, natural conversations.

[Blessed]

So, like, I'm going on a solo trip. This other girl's also on a solo trip. Oh, like, what made you want to go here?

[Jess]

And then, you know, we connect.

[Blessed]

Like, that would be so romantic.

[Josh Laber]

Romantic.

[Karen]

I've heard of cruise love stories. People meet each other on a cruise and then they, like, separate, and then they're, like, posting each other on YouTube. On YouTube. What the tick tock talking about? I met the love of my life, so someone helped me find her.

[Eddie]

Aren't there cruises specifically to meet people for real?

[Josh Laber]

Yeah.

[Blessed]

Wait, which one? Send me the link.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess]

But I know what you mean. You want to go on a solo trip and you want to meet Somebody.

[Blessed]

Who'S there, like, just as adventurous as me. Like, yeah, you're on a solo trip too. Like, let's do this together, you know.

[Jess]

And then you guys kiss that, like a couple more days.

[Josh Laber]

Are you also cool, like, being single for like another like four to five years?

[Blessed]

Nah, I don't think, like, I give myself like two more years max.

[Jess]

Really?

[Karen]

What are three red flags for you?

[Blessed]

I just think it's just a lot about how you treat people. Like, just meeting them, like, out, like, firsthand, you know. I think I'm just trying to think the red flags and they all connect with the same thing. Like I said a waiter. Or how you treat your family, like how you treat your mom.

[Jess]

I feel like that's number. I think that's like number one.

[Josh Laber]

That says a lot.

[Blessed]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[Josh Laber]

Years ago, bro, I started dating this girl. No, this is way, way before I was. Ten years ago, dude. I went out with this girl. We went on a couple dates. We went on one time and she got like a little, like, lit and her mom was calling her dude. I've never seen anybody disrespect their mom. The way I heard her, like, talking to her mom. I've never been more like, oh, my God.

[Jess]

Well, you never tucked her after that, right?

[Josh Laber]

Dude, I never even thought of her until this moment. Yeah, like, that's crazy.

[Jess]

Yeah, it. It speaks volumes.

[Josh Laber]

The audacity.

[Jess]

[Karen]

But he's the same way. He talks to his mom every day too.

[Jess]

I love talking to my mom.

[Eddie]

[Josh Laber]

Do you have like, long conversations with her? It's more like check ins. Like everything's.

[Karen]

It's like long.

[Eddie]

It's short.

[Josh Laber]

Long.

[Karen]

No, there's times where, like, he's getting ready and not one word is being said. But he's on the phone with his mom.

[Josh Laber]

He's just listening.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm just listening to my mom a lot. And I'll be like, oh, yeah, it's crazy. But I'm still interested in what she's saying. I'm still here, mom. I'm still here. Keep talking, keep talking. I'm just getting ready.

[Blessed]

Wow.

[Josh Laber]

And she's telling you about her dad.

[Blessed]

I'm the same way. I think a lot of it roots from it. Me just growing up with My mom being a single mom, you know, I'm just like, that's where I find comfort and.

[Karen]

[Blessed]

Oh no, no.

[Josh Laber]

How did what feel?

[Jess]

Like coming into earth or.

No. Did you coming out like in a different way than people usually come out.

[Jess]

Like out the head. People come out of their stretchy or.

[Josh Laber]

They come out their legs first.

[Blessed]

Head first.

[Eddie]

It's head first.

[Karen]

It's head first. If you do legs, it's more likely have a.

[Blessed]

Usually I would see like a hair coming out.

[Josh Laber]

Oh, C section.

[Karen]

You're a C section.

[Josh Laber]

I was £13. I was born like they couldn't.

You were natural.

[Blessed]

I was natural?

[Jess]

Yeah.

You're the oldest.

[Jess]

Yeah, I'm the oldest. She said I was the hardest one to come out.

[Josh Laber]

Endure that too. That too.
