Okay, perv. Like, what? I'm officially the biggest influencer head. There was one influencer who had a bigger head than me that wore wigs, and I always, like, took solace in that. I was like, finally, someone else has a bigger head. Everything I find about James Charles is a little bit against my will. On Tick Tock with fyp, he was, like, mad.
Tana Mongeau
He was like, why won't they name it after Rachel?
Trisha Paytas
Star.
Tana Mongeau
I love that we're comfy.
Trisha Paytas
We're comfy. And we're back.
Tana Mongeau
We're back. Hello and welcome.
Trisha Paytas
Not love, not Loveline. We promise we will not yap.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Not talk about meeting Adam Sandler.
Tana Mongeau
I'm wearing him for this episode instead of talking about him. Do your ever just, like, stick to your. Yeah, like, my. They're stuck to my stomach right now.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, interesting. Because you're so, like, young and proportional.
Tana Mongeau
They're going to touch my ankles sooner rather than later.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Mine are definitely flopping to the waist.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I've been getting gray hairs lately. Like, all of it.
Trisha Paytas
My God, that's so crazy. That's what we're saying. I'm like, are you Gen Z because you feel Millennial?
Tana Mongeau
Millennial? I swear I am Gen Z, but I, like, really resonate with the not, like, the awful parts of Millennial, but, like, I'm like, I don't know. There's Gen Z that's really, like, up to date and, like, cool and, like, young with it and, like, I've just lived 85 lives. Like, I don't feel that way because you're Probably.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You're probably on, like, the older end of a Gen Z maybe because you've been around the millennial youtubers like we were talking about, and so, like, you.
Tana Mongeau
Feel millennial, but I feel so Paige is always saying, like, tanner, I don't care what it says. Like, you're a Gen Z on paper, but, like, you're a. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Which is gonna be a place to be. A little bit of both.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I think I'm the opposite. I think I'm a little Gen Z and a little Gen Alpha. I'm a little bit. I'm going down on a generation. Like, I feel like I could be there, too.
Tana Mongeau
No. Yeah. I mean, I feel like. Yeah, we're kind of a combination of all of it. It's all the lives we've lived together, you know? Yeah. We're just not. What's the new one?
Trisha Paytas
Gen X, Gen Alpha. As the new one, Gen X was above us, above me.
Tana Mongeau
I thought Gen Alpha was, like, my daughter's Gen Alpha. Oh, period. Malibu. Him in that era, too. I love Malibu. She was just crying to see me. And we still have to film one more episode before I can see her.
Trisha Paytas
But she's ok. Yeah. I was like, just make sure, like, she can say bye because she woke up from her nap, she had her Princess Belle dress. And the first thing, she's like, I want to see Tana.
Tana Mongeau
I want to see Tana. I swear, if I spend too much time around Malibu Barbie, I'm, like, going home to Makoba. Like, pregnant now, pregnant tomorrow. Like, because she's just, like, the best kid, you know?
Trisha Paytas
She's so sweet. She was like. But like, we always say. I keep saying this, but she, like, genuinely, like, loves you. And I've never seen, like, a. She, like, loves people, but, like, she, like, loves you.
Tana Mongeau
I love her so much.
Trisha Paytas
Gravitates to you. Always has some.
Tana Mongeau
And I just love showing her things. Like whenever I show her, like, my nails or something.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, she loves. I know. You gotta, like, show her the nail. I don't think she fully saw that much.
Tana Mongeau
I know. I love.
Trisha Paytas
She loves it. We always just out with, like, saying we love Malibu.
Tana Mongeau
We do, though. Like, she's a big part of everything, you know? Like, she is. And, like, one day she's gonna be hosting this podcast.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. I hope she. She loves doing makeup. I'm like, I really hope she turns into. Be a makeup artist so I have someone on backup, you know, in case my makeup artist retires one day.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. You should start Teaching her now, like, this is cream.
Trisha Paytas
I think she knows. I think she knows, period.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, she is, like, so smart, too, which is cool.
Trisha Paytas
We love. That's the podcast we love Malibu podcast.
Tana Mongeau
Do you think that people. What do you think of nature versus Nurt? Do you think some people are just, like, genuinely dumb? And it doesn't matter how much people try to dumb. Like, you know how, like, sometimes people have kids and, like, their kid is, like, dumb, but, like, they're trying to.
Trisha Paytas
Make their kids for sure, I think, right? Yes. I mean, yes, like, because that is true. Like, if you have a really smart parents, I mean, in general, you're probably going to be intellectual as well. And, like, dumb is so, like, subjective, but.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Well, am I even saying no?
Trisha Paytas
But I know what you mean.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I don't even know if I know what I mean. But you ever just meet a person, like a grown person, and you're like.
Trisha Paytas
Wow, this person, like, that might be right. I don't know.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.
Trisha Paytas
I know what you mean. Because I do lack. Sometimes I lack common sense, which might be more of how I was brought up. Because I was brought up in a really small town. Yeah. Because I was. You know what I mean? Like, I was brought up in such a small town then. I, like, didn't, like, explore, obviously, live in LA and stuff now. But even in la, I, like, be in a bubble. I kept myself in a bubble. I never went out. So I think I lack social awareness and all that stuff. But I think that's nurture because Malibu is so outgoing. And I was like, oh, maybe just it is in my nature to be like that, but, like, somewhere along the lines, I, like, shut myself out. So I, like, don't have human interaction. I don't know how to interact with humans, as opposed to Malbo's very good interacting with humans. And I was like, well, that must be.
Tana Mongeau
That's funny because I don't feel like you. I feel like you do have insanely incredible, like, social awareness and ability to, like, really read people's emotions even. I was just telling you, like, I always leave here feeling higher and better about myself than when I walked in through the door. And, like, that's a very special thing to give, to be able to speak life into other people and, like, know what they need to hear.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I feel like you always know what someone needs to hear and you're gassing them up.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. I love that. Well, I hope so. I don't see enough people, so I don't know. I literally just see you guys. So I'm always like, I don't know what is what. But okay, as I'm.
Tana Mongeau
As I'm getting older, the pillow I'm. I'm cuddling with.
Trisha Paytas
My pillow's crazy. I saw that. I was like, ah, what is that?
Tana Mongeau
She's so hot. She's so silly.
Trisha Paytas
I hated myself in this photo.
Tana Mongeau
But I love you in this photo.
Trisha Paytas
The eyes are like non existent. Like, where are my eyeballs? Just dark patches. I look like Coraline's other mom.
Tana Mongeau
Oh my. Not the other mother. No. I love this. I love this so much. Tarte sent me pillows of everyone I love for my birthday and I brought this over. But Trisha doesn't like this photo of herself, so I think it scared her.
Trisha Paytas
I was so scared. And you brought like out of the bag and I was like, what? You're literally like, ah, love that. Tarte sent that though, as part of like your inner circle. Like this is your inner circle.
Tana Mongeau
They literally sent me you, Paige Ashley Amari and which if I was on a desserted island with you, Paige, Ashley, Amari and Moa, I'd be pretty stoked.
Trisha Paytas
I like deserted. No one else is there.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Private island vibes. Okay.
Tana Mongeau
I'm starting to realize as I'm getting older that you like just. You slay with the way that you are though. Like the bubble. Don't. My piece. It's nice.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you kind of have to sometimes.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's good.
Trisha Paytas
I don't think I'll pop my bubble.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Dead.
Trisha Paytas
Well, we have crumble cookies. I don't think you get these cookies anymore. Should we try one?
Tana Mongeau
Should we try a bite of a.
Trisha Paytas
How's your tummy though? You. You've been saying you had the bubbles a lot, so I don't like eff it up too much more. I am a bite of the moonbe.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, let's. We're going to try Benson Boone's Moon. Benson Boone's Moonbeam ice cream crumble cookie. What the mad lib is that?
Trisha Paytas
Moonbeam ice cream. Do you know the next line?
Tana Mongeau
Taking off your blue jeans. Did I make that up? No, it's right.
Trisha Paytas
Taking off your blue jeans. Oh my God. Okay, perv. Like what?
Tana Mongeau
I love Benson Boone and I love his music, but I do not like that song.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I think that's a general consensus.
Tana Mongeau
Right? It's not good.
Trisha Paytas
What's his popular song? I forget.
Tana Mongeau
Don't see. I love that song.
Trisha Paytas
That sounds like the other Person you told me you love. That sounds like the one.
Tana Mongeau
Everyone sounds the same when I sing it. That's the problem.
Trisha Paytas
That sounds like the one. You said he had shots and had to quit.
Tana Mongeau
Lewis Capaldi. But he's back. He just. He just performed at. That's it. I can't remember what it's called, so. Glastonbury.
Trisha Paytas
Ah. What's Glastonbury?
Tana Mongeau
It's like Coachella, but across the pond.
Trisha Paytas
Why are you not there performing? I would love to see you at Glastonbury.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. I would love to see me at Glastonbury. Olivia Rodrigo performed. She did really good.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it's like really big people.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's huge. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Where is it?
Tana Mongeau
It's in the uk. I don't know. Where?
Trisha Paytas
No one knows.
Tana Mongeau
London. I really don't like the way this.
Trisha Paytas
It's cold. I don't like a cold crumble cookie.
Tana Mongeau
I love a cold cookie.
Trisha Paytas
The other ones are warm. This one's cold. But first of all, those other ones are giant. When did crumble become ginormous?
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Like, I feel like they've gotten bigger.
Trisha Paytas
That's why America's like, why are we fat? I don't know. Because we have like 5, 000 calories in one chocolate chip cookie. I love it, though. No.
Tana Mongeau
Have you ever seen people show all of the things that you can eat to equate to one crumble?
Trisha Paytas
Yes, but like, eggs, bacon, avocado, toast, fruit.
Tana Mongeau
Like, yeah, it's insane. But we love a crumble cookie. Cheers.
Trisha Paytas
Cheers. Okay. Like a cold one.
Tana Mongeau
Benson Boone in his back clip chips. I. I'm not gonna lie. If I wasn't on camera, I would not eat this. I don't like the way it looks. I don't like the colorway.
Trisha Paytas
Eat it just because you're on camera. But okay.
Tana Mongeau
I know, but like, I do.
Trisha Paytas
It was a weird. It's a weird choice, but okay. Oh, the chocolate cookie is good. The frosting is weird. Wait, that frosting tastes like.
Tana Mongeau
It tastes like something so familiar.
Trisha Paytas
Like spoiled milk.
Tana Mongeau
Okay. Right. No, but like something. Something childhoody, like. Like almost like a childhood ice cream or like a moonbeam, actually. So I don't know. I actually kind of like it.
Trisha Paytas
I don't.
Tana Mongeau
It does look like Benson Boone himself nutted all over it, but could be worse. People.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Tana Mongeau
I like it. I don't know why. I don't know how I like the marketing.
Trisha Paytas
Like, when Kylie fees came out with crumble got all of them was so obsessed. Like, I love a. A gimmick a theme.
Tana Mongeau
Me too. I love a gimmick.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
I'm a sucker for a good gimmick.
Trisha Paytas
Nothing about that as Benson Boom. But we're all like, let's have the Benson boom Cookie.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
What?
Tana Mongeau
Benson Boon Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumble Cookie. I'm naming my first kid that Benson Boone Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumble Cookie Mojo.
Trisha Paytas
That's a good, that's a good name. I do love that. Remember when James Charles wanted Starbucks to name the pink drink after him?
Tana Mongeau
That's so funny that you say that because I was like, randomly thinking about that 48 hours ago. Like, I'm not even joking, Trisha. Like, I was actually thinking about that 48 hours ago.
Trisha Paytas
Everything I find about James Charles is a little bit against my will. On Tick Tock with fyp, he was like, mad.
Tana Mongeau
He was like, why won't they name it after racing star? Like, do you remember that?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. And we're like, okay. But like, I didn't know that was his thing. I always just knew the pink drink, like, before James Charles. And I was like, I just had.
Tana Mongeau
An out of body moment because. Is that, like, what I, I am like, wanting Chili's to work with me.
Trisha Paytas
I think wanting to work with a brand is so different. Like the me with Domino's too.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Them to call it, like the Tana Dipper.
Trisha Paytas
That'd be iconic, though. I think wanting to work with a brand logical to be like, you sold pink drinks because of me. Like, if you were to tell Chili's people only like your triple Dippers because of me, like, that's crazy, huh? Maybe not. Maybe, you know, people are influenced by you. But to say it is wild to say it out loud. It's like, even if you believe that in your dulu mine, like, saying it is crazy.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, that is. I like, remember that so well. I could like, paint those videos where he was like, Starbucks. Like, he was like, whoa, that was a time I did.
Trisha Paytas
I have blocked him on everything, and yet I see this and that specific pink drink thing comes up and it must have been 10 years ago.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
He's another one that feels millennial. But he's probably like your age.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Why do I want to say he's younger than me by like a year?
Trisha Paytas
Right. I think up his age, he's like 26.
Tana Mongeau
So funny because it's like even thinking about a time without James Charles as an influencer doesn't feel real. But like, I did.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I remember it well. I remember life before James Charles. Look, I, I, he Recently has come in my sphere in the past couple years. I really wasn't that aware of him, but I remember it very well. Like, to me, I can't be like, James Charles is, like, the influencer, because I'm like, I. He. To me, he's like a newbie. Like, he's like fourth generation.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know. Yeah. It is very interesting, though, the way that he has, like, an insane die hard fan base. Like, even, like, he just put out, like, a new, like, rainbow palette, and.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, no, he put out the Morphe palette. James version. That's very Jaclyn Hill. I think she put out her Morphe palette, but, like, Jaclyn Hill version didn't.
Tana Mongeau
Like, let me not. Actually. I don't even want to, like, piss off Morphe, so I'll just shut up.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, Morphe.
Tana Mongeau
They're done.
Trisha Paytas
They're bankrupt. You can't piss them off. They've already canceled themselves. Right. No shame to bankruptcy, by the way. Like, go bankrupt.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Whatever you need to do for your business happens.
Tana Mongeau
I'm gonna say that Benson Boone, like, might have. I. I feel like he made that cookie himself. So I just want to say, like, Benson, you really did not. You really moonbeamed that ice cream.
Trisha Paytas
Like, did not make that cookie. He does not eat. He does not eat a crumble cookie. You can just tell in his little jumpsuit that he's not eating crumble cookies.
Tana Mongeau
I know. Literally, at all. He's probably literally never. But, like, that cookie is so good. Benson, seriously, good job.
Trisha Paytas
The Kardashians just had, like, a whole line of crumble cookies. And I mean, no one is eating this. I think Chris's was something so good. I'm like, there's no way she's eating, like, a yellow cake with just, like, chocolate frosting on it. It was delicious, but also, like, they're not eating them.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Oh, my God. I did. I ordered that too. I forgot. I love crumble.
Trisha Paytas
I like crumble, too. That lineup was, you know.
Tana Mongeau
You know, I like the pink frosting one the most, but last time I ordered it, it tasted just like Clorox wipes, so I've been a little turned off.
Trisha Paytas
Maybe it was. Maybe they wiped down the counters. Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
I love crumble.
Tana Mongeau
Should we. Should we speak to some of the girlies? I just want to say that there's something so beautiful about shooting a not Loveline, like, in comfy clothes. Like, I almost feel like my advice is better. When I'm not worried about, like, my coming out.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Take that for the patreon. My debate. Patreon.com loveline. We have new episodes every Friday. And then call this number here if you want to ask questions for the main or for the Patreon. Feel free to specify this to.
Tana Mongeau
Like, nothing. Like, I was just doing this.
Trisha Paytas
He could extend the phone number over that way. Yeah, across your way. I love it.
Tana Mongeau
Call us. And yeah, we've been having a great time over on the Patreon, but I'm really excited for this episode. I think that now that I'm able to man spread and sit like this, I'm just gonna get another advice.
Trisha Paytas
It's free.
Tana Mongeau
Call me, beat me if you want to reach me.
C
Hi, Trish. Hi, Tana. I just need some advice. I have a question. I don't know if this is, like, me setting a boundary or not. I've been dating my boyfriend for about three years now, and today he called me and said that he was invited to one of his co workers parties. The thing is, I don't know any of these people and I just. It's out in Long beach and we live like an hour and a half away. He said he won't be back till the morning, like late in the morning. And I just want to know. I said he can't go. Am I being controlling? Insecure? I just feel like this is a boundary for myself, and I just want to know what you guys thought. Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Tana Mongeau
Wow.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, maybe, like, maybe she has just reason to worry about this, but it's like, do you want to be in a relationship where you worry about someone being gone overnight?
Tana Mongeau
Yes. That's what's hard is, like, I would need a little more context. And honestly, like, at the end of the day, boundaries are boundaries. Your boundaries could be like, I hate the color Purple and I never want to see it again. And if you really stand on that, you know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like, wait, really? Like, like a reasonable boundary?
Tana Mongeau
Not at all. But I'm saying, like, if people, like, have their boundary that, like, they absolutely do not want to surpass, then, like, fun. Fortunately, the person that they're with might have to, like, succumb to those boundaries. You know what I mean? Like, because it's your boundary, right?
Trisha Paytas
Like, but what I feel like, McCall, is like, never again can you do one YouTube video. Never posting on YouTube ever. Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Then I would say, like, I don't. I don't slay with that boundary. And you have to find someone else who Respect it.
Trisha Paytas
But also, like, you don't abide by it.
Tana Mongeau
Exactly. Like, I think sometimes in relationships people have to, like, choose, like, compromising towards boundaries, even if they don't agree with them. But you also don't want to, like, push your man away to a point that, like, you know what I mean? Like, he's maybe fantasizing about a life with a little less control. Like, if there's really no reasoning here.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I don't. I am always gonna say I don't think a woman ever is, like, doing something for absolutely no reason. Like, maybe you went through something with someone else or with him that made you insecure in this way. Maybe there's someone he works with that you don't fully trust. Maybe like, he drinks and acts a certain way so, like, you are not there to like, you know, which is.
Trisha Paytas
Like, yeah, once again, it's just like, oh. But then it's just like something. Yeah, it's like, I don't know. That's like a boundary. I don't think, like, if most like you can. You can never go away for a night without me. I'd be like, yeah, I feel so suffocated by it. And even though I want to be with him 24 7, I'd be like, but why? If I gave, like, no reason, if I was like, cheated on one time when I was on tour or something, I'd be like, okay, yeah, I understand, but.
Tana Mongeau
Exactly. That's what I think it is. Where I would need to know more reasonings behind your boundaries or if it has nothing to do with him. I think you should communicate those traumas and try to work through them. Because if there really is nothing to do with him and you don't think he's going to do anything bad, I think it's good to almost let him go. I think I had to get like that with Mokoa in a lot of ways where like, the hats came out. I know I had to take it off. I'm gonna put on my knee. I feel like even, like there will be days in Hawaii where Mokoa genuinely is doing something with no cell phone service. Right?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And like, I used to be the type of person who would like, freak out and then he'd go do that and I would freak the out and then he'd come back and I would even notice myself being a little more passive or questioning. And then over time, I had to be like, wow, this is my own trauma that I'm putting on to him. And I'm not going to set a boundary with him where, like, he can't go do that thing with no service.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I trust now because I've, like, been and seen that. That's true. Like, you know, and, like, because then.
Trisha Paytas
It becomes more controlling and not a boundary. You're just trying to control a situation.
Tana Mongeau
Yes, that's so true. You have to, like, really sit with yourself and be like, is this a boundary for a valid reason?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And I want to put this on him and I stand on it.
Trisha Paytas
And a boundary for yourself is a different boundary. Someone else. You shouldn't, like, put a boundary on someone else. Be like, my boundary is you can't go anywhere.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
It's like, the boundary could be on yourself. Be like, you know, I don't know, it feels a little, like, weird.
Tana Mongeau
I agree. And like, maybe you're going with him. Or maybe, like, maybe you also want to go to Long beach and hang in the hotel.
Trisha Paytas
Who wants to go to Long Beach? Nobody's trying to go down there. I mean, look, there's nothing going on down there. I mean, maybe, you know, Laugh Factory, is that still open? But I don't know if there's anything happening. Isn't there like a Grand Prix down there or something, too?
Tana Mongeau
I'm just like, maybe you have to go with him so that he can still go. Like, don't rob him of the experience. Maybe. I don't know, like, or let him go. And, like, maybe you have a glass of wine or you smoke some. You not to go to substances, but, like, turn your phone off, watch a movie. Like. Like, even if it eats you alive. I think exposure therapy sometimes is good. If there really is, like, no reasoning.
Trisha Paytas
Put a little airpod on him.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Like, oh, yeah, air tag. Air tag. An issue. But I don't know, sometimes. Yeah. When things stress me out, I'll go the exact opposite with Makoa, where I'm like, oh, my God. Like, yeah, I don't want him to go to this because I have trust issues and trauma from the past. I'm gonna tell him to go and I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna work through that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that sometimes I have to do the exact opposite thing and, like, face the fear. And then he comes back and he had a great time and we're happier than ever and he missed me and I'm like, hell, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Like, you know, the air, probably.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, yeah. So I don't know. I would really. I would think on this one, I would Explore your thoughts and why you're having that. And be careful. Just being like this is a boundary. You hit the nail on the head.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Versus control. I guess she just kind of controlling.
Trisha Paytas
It feels a little controlling. But again, there could be reason.
Tana Mongeau
But yeah, call us back and keep us posted. But I think that if he didn't do anything wrong to you, then you should let him go.

I do love a yard house. I haven't seen one in, like, so long.
Tana Mongeau
I love a Bavarian pretzel.
Trisha Paytas
They're hard to find.
Tana Mongeau
And when they're like, big one big is your torso.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love a big pretzel.
Tana Mongeau
I love When a pretzel is the size of my torso, sometimes you just.
Trisha Paytas
Go to, like, bar. There's like a bar here. It's like a brewery. And they have, like, these big. They're really, really good.
Tana Mongeau

Tana Mongeau
In the same way. I am, like, the same way.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah, you have the Bucky's everywhere.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. I love that beaver. I love that Goddamn.
Trisha Paytas
I didn't get into the Bucky's. I need to get into it. I don't think I physically went to one, so I couldn't experience.
Tana Mongeau
The other day in Hawaii, I had, like, the strongest craving for a Buc ee's pulled pork sandwich. And I was just like, I'm so far from the South.
Trisha Paytas
Time to go to the south again.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I would love to. I love the South South.
Trisha Paytas
Me too.
Tana Mongeau
Not some of the people in it, but I do love the South. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Who's in the south that you don't like?
Tana Mongeau
I don't know. It's just the south is very maga.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, oh, oh. Got it. I got it. Yeah. It can be scary down there.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Stay safe.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Oh, my God, I wish you were watching Love Island.
Trisha Paytas
Why is there.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know. I just thought about. You're not watching Love Island. I'm literally. Oh, my God. I'm done. It's consuming me. Next caller.
Trisha Paytas
I know. I hate that when people are not into something I'm into because I'm like, I just to want talk about it so bad with someone, but I also.
Tana Mongeau
Would do anything for those, like, 25 hours of my life back.
Trisha Paytas
Really? No, I feel like you. You needed it. It's like a decompressor for you.
Tana Mongeau
It is, honestly.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that's true.
Tana Mongeau
Every day. Decompressor. Yeah, Every single day. There was a day in Hawaii where the UV was, like, prime. Uv. Sun's out, waves are beautiful. And I sat Inside and watched Love island and afterwards I like wanted to punch myself in the face.
Trisha Paytas
But normalized. That's how we were on our honeymoon. We went to Maldives and we literally stayed inside like every day. I had like anxiety because I was like pregnant. I was scared the waves were gonna like cause something cuz I was like five weeks pregnant. So I thought oh my God, the waves are gonna crash against my baby.
Tana Mongeau
Something crazy new fear unlocked swimming while pregnant.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Cuz you google it and it's like the waves can hurt the baby. So I was like so scared. So like we just like we were in this like really bougie hotel, like the underwater one. And we just like sat. We even go underwater cuz I had anxiety about that. So we just sat on the top floor and just like closed all the windows and just. I was also scared of pirates because it's also in the middle of the ocean, that room. So you just like go to this long deck and I was scared like pirates. So we like locked all the doors and windows and just sat inside and watch like and Tick Tock all day on the Maldives.
Tana Mongeau
Kind of love that, you know what I mean? Sometimes you're just not feeling something.
Trisha Paytas
That's what I'm saying. And I feel like you should like normalize just like being on vacation and sometimes you just want to be in a tropical location watching Tick Tock. You know what I mean?
Tana Mongeau
Like honestly it's like not. We have Love island at home. You know that was me.
Trisha Paytas
If that's what relaxes you.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, yeah. You know what, you're right.
Trisha Paytas
You went outside. I saw you see a lot of sunsets.
Tana Mongeau
I was super outside. Honestly, I was, I was. You're right, you're right. And it's. It was that I had to watch Hoda's Crash out.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Okay. Who needs something?
Trisha Paytas
Who needs help? Us.
C
Hi. Trisha and Tana. I should say first, I love both of you. I went to both of your shows, they were amazing. But I'm calling you guys to get advice on my on again off again boyfriend of like 2 years. I love him so much. But the reason that we keep being like off and then on is because he struggles with addiction.
Tana Mongeau
I take back my.
Trisha Paytas
Ugh.
C
Specifically ketamine. And it's just changed the way that I trust him and the way that like we can like our day to day relationship is so affected by it. And I guess I'm asking for advice because I don't know how to trust him and I don't know how to help him. If I'm supposed to be helping him or if I shouldn't even be with him. But yeah, just let me know if you guys have any advice for that. Love you again. Bye.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, I love you so much. I love her so much. And this makes me very sad.
Trisha Paytas
Oh. Being in love with, like, an active addict is the worst. It's the worst because it's heartbreaking. Addicts are, like, the most meaning, well people ever. But when you're in active addiction, like, you have no control over what you're saying, lying about. And it's like, they're never, in my experience, they're never like, malice, like, they're never, like, evil people. They're actually, like, really sweet people that are just, like, have a really bad sickness. When an active addiction, you just can't trust them because it's just like, they don't have control over what they're doing or saying.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's so sad. Jelly Roll always says that. Like, I've never seen an addict that doesn't light up the room sober. And I really think it's, like, a beautiful thing to say because it's so true. I've actually, like, lost a lot of people I love in my life. Not, like, lost them by passing, but lost our relationship specifically to ketamine addiction. And it's really hard. It's like a really gnarly, like, oh, my God. I've seen, like, just all of the things it does when it gets. Gets bad. It affects people's, like, organs and so many things, and it's so, so hard to watch. And I've dated people in active addiction, you know, and like, we've talked about that. And, like, it's. It's hard because you're so close to the person, so you feel responsible. And I think that you wake up one day eventually and you realize, like, even though I'm close to this person, I am not responsible. And unfortunately, you can't take it personally. Because I think that a lot of times when you're, like, with someone who's an active addiction and you love them, you will. At least I would find myself being like, why doesn't this person love me enough to stop this? And then after then being on the flip side of the coin and being an addict, I think that it was like, wow, like, sometimes it. It's not that they don't love you. They might love you with everything they have in them, but, like, that it's a demon. And the demons can win sometimes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
You know, and like, oh, my God. Honest, Advice is like, unfortunately, I think it's important to do everything that you can do, like, give them resources and reach out to people around them and all those things. But once you've done those things, sometimes you might have to walk away for your mental health, as hard as it is. It's so sad.
Trisha Paytas
It's so sad. I know. I wish more people talked about, like, being in love with addicts. Cause we've seen like, influencers, like, touch on like, being married to an addict and then having to leave and like, like, and it's like, ah. I just wish it was like a more open conversation so people could. Because I don't fully understand. I never like, fully, like, was in love with an addict. I like, dated them and like, kind of gotten scared and like left or whatever. But it's like to be in love with someone and just try.
Tana Mongeau
He.
Trisha Paytas
Like you said you want to help them. You don't want to just like, walk away from someone who's sick.
Tana Mongeau
And it'll consume you and it'll kill you. Like it inside. Like, it really will, you know? And like, I still think it's like. Like, that's a really long, hard trauma that you carry. I still, like, think about people and it's like, oh, my God. Yeah, I wish I could do more. I wish I could still help them. Or like, I wish I could. Even now, like, as healed as I am in life, I still think about those people and whether they're still in those addictions or whatever. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, it's just like. It's a very hard one. But I look back at times that I stayed with addicts for a very long time trying to save them. And there's a part of me that for me, I wish I left sooner because it's like just so painful.
Trisha Paytas
Well, like you said, it's demons. And like, you cannot fight a demon. Like us as humans are not fighting demons. You know what I mean? So if you're an addict that like, lives is like miraculous. Like, it's amazing. And yeah, like, as much as you can try and fight them, you just absolutely. Some people are lucky and make it through and some people don't. And no matter how much love you have for someone, it's like I can't even imagine.
Tana Mongeau
And it just. It sucks the life out of you.
Trisha Paytas
They hide it. They hide a lot of it.
Tana Mongeau
And that the on again, off again makes perfect sense because that's what it is. You like, get fed up or they do something too far but then like, oh my God, it's. It sucks because a lot of it too is like mourning a person who's still alive. You know what I mean? Like, mourning this side of this person that you fell for that now is like slowly you're watching like, die and fade away this side of them. And like the fear and anxiety of them taking it too far. And like, oh my God, I feel like I lived in that for so long, being like, what if, Like, I would stay. Because it's like, what if this person dies? And then I hate myself forever because I left and then they died. You know what I mean? But like, looking back, it's like you can't.
Trisha Paytas
And then people judge you for that too. I remember there was an influencer who was an addict and he like, passed away. And then everyone was like, she did like a post, like, remembering him and people were like, pissed at her. Well, you left him. You did this. And that's what I'm saying. I wish it was like a more open conversation, but like, a lot of people can't have it because of judgment, but like trying to love someone and just like, it just. You just can't. Like you said, sometimes you love yourself too, to like, be like, I can't also be brought down in this. And.
Tana Mongeau
And it's.
Trisha Paytas
There's.
Tana Mongeau
There's almost a. A piece. As hard, as dark as this is to say for you, there's a self piece with knowing, like, you can't really help him any more than you already have. Like, I think when it comes to addiction, like, people have to hit their own rock bottoms on their own time to get sober, unfortunately. You know what I mean? Like, whether that is you breaking up with them or whether. Whether that's years down the line, they just finally don't want to do it anymore. Like, you can't. And then it's even scary territory if you, like, force someone to get sober for you, but like, they weren't ready on their own time and then they relapse and then you're back going behind your back, like, just doing.
Trisha Paytas
And that's a different betrayal. You're like, well, Jesus, like, I wear past this. So.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. And it's like, they don't. That is not who he is. And I know it's so hard because it's like, this isn't you. But yeah, I think that if you get to a point where you feel like you've exhausted your options. Yeah, I guess I just, I'm saying it's okay to walk away from that. You know, because, like, your happiness, like, you're not the one in this act of addiction, and you're not a toxic.
Trisha Paytas
Spiral, and you're not, you know, a demon slayer. Like, you know, you're only a human. You can only do so much from.
Tana Mongeau
Where you're at, and you deserve happiness. You know what I mean? And that's what it is as well. You can only live for someone else's. You can only live for someone else to live for so long, you know, before it literally kills you and sucks the life out of you. So I just want to say I'm here for you, and I've been there. And, yeah, it's okay to walk away from that situation because you can't handle it anymore. And people oftentimes do eventually hit their own rock bottom and get help, and then you guys could end up walking off into the sunset. And that's the goal. And I'm hoping and praying that.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah, people, sobriety, like, success stories are, like, so inspiring. Especially, like, ones with Academy. Like, that's so. Such an intense drug. And it's like. Like, when you can get through that, I think it's.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's possible. It is 100 possible. Like, absolutely. And, yeah, I mean, it definitely happens. Even Trevi, like, she's my best friend in the whole wide world, and she really struggled with that with ketamine specifically. And now she is, like, the most beautiful, blossomed, sober version of herself. And I missed her for years. Like, I. You know, it got to that point where I had to, like. Like, I tried everything, and she had to do things on her own terms, and we weren't close for, like, a year and a half, two years. Then we came back together, and we're stronger than ever. You know what I mean? And it's like. And she's such an inspiration.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Thriving.
Trisha Paytas
I love seeing stories like that.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. And it's like, oh, my God, every day I'm inspired by her because of that. So don't think it's not possible. But also, don't. Don't kill yourself trying, you know? We love you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I hope it works out for both.
Tana Mongeau
And you got this. And, yes, what's meant to be will be for the both of you. And, yeah, we love you. That's sad.
Trisha Paytas
Nice.
Tana Mongeau
I hate to do this to you. This is gonna be the saddest call of the day.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, no. It's like a sad episode. Are you sure? He said it's the saddest call of the day. I thought that was the saddest call today.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That one wasn't. There's one that's sadder. Oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
Well, listen, I mean, we are so lucky to be finally in happy places of our lives, you know, so.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's just. I know it's hard when, like, people are going through sadness, and I'm just like. I don't.
Tana Mongeau
I know. I know. It really is.
Trisha Paytas
It is, like, it's hard to tell someone, like, there's. There's hope, there's light, because.
Tana Mongeau
But we are two, like, very living examples.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Of, like, rock bottoms to, like, that.
Trisha Paytas
Darkness is a scary place.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Yeah. But, like, making it out of it, you know?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. And, yeah, like, thank God, because there's, like, a better life.
Tana Mongeau
And I am, as much as, like, we joke about this show just being, like, yap and leopard print and, like, crumble cookies and, like, all of the things. It also is really cool that we have this community and, like, that Trisha and I can sit here after all of the things we've so publicly been through and, like, say that life does get better and to hold on, you know?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.

Tana Mongeau
All right, Devin, give us this call.
C
Hi, Trisha. Hi, Tana. I'm currently sitting in my car waiting to pick up my boyfriend. We had a fight earlier this morning about him literally not having a phone. Dude, he dropped his phone in the water and yesterday at work and then we went to go get him a new one off of offer up. Keep in mind, he has no money, so I had to pay for it. He just got this job and he's been, like, living in my house with my grandpa rent free. And the only reason why he's there is because of me. And it's just like we've been having such a rocky relationship and I'm just so confused because it's just like.
Tana Mongeau
I.
C
Love him, but I'm like at the crossing point where I just can't handle it no more, where I just can't handle, like, him being, like, mentally abusive and always yelling and getting angry and taking it out on me or like little that it was just like, I don't know how to end things with him because if I do, then he's just going to end up homeless. And I just. I don't have the heart for that. I just need Advice. I don't know what to do. It's just, I'm like my breaking point.
Tana Mongeau
We love you. That is like, oh, I feel for her so hard. I feel for her, like, oh my God. So deeply. I'm like, devin, you were right. It's the saddest call of the day.
Trisha Paytas
And like never being in that exact situation is so hard to say, like, to give advice. I don't know. Obviously she knows. Obviously this guy is. If he's mentally abusive and all this like, awful.
Tana Mongeau
The way the call started off, I was like, listen, people make it out of rock bottom together. And sometimes like not having that money or feeling like you're just like, like in rock bottom with someone, it can cause tension and then you guys fight and then it's still like, no. Fight for the relationship. Fight for you guys, like, make it out like, I'm not. Some of these factors, you know what I mean? I. People and couples prevail from. But I think that if you are doing everything for someone to stay afloat and they are emotionally abusing you, that situation is not okay. And I think you should get out of it. And yeah, I know what that feels like. When it's like someone, this person's relying on me, so I'm gonna stay and tolerate this because they're relying on me and I'm a good person and I don't have the heart to put them out on the street. But you have to be aware that like your heart may not match his or like his trauma. It might not. He might have a good heart, but like if he's not treating you right, you have to go. And like that's. It's just like so hard because it's like he's an adult and if he has to go figure his life out and be out on the street or whatever, those are the consequences of his actions. He had a situation that was helping him, which was being with you. But if he's not like valuing that, you're not captain save up at the expense of your own mental health and well being. And it's going to be hard for a couple weeks, but this also might be exactly what he needs.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, right. You can't just like let him get away with this behavior and then also like house him. Yeah, it's like, no, we're doing you a huge favor. At least you do is be respectful like the 100. But also the fact that he's doing the most by being like, also just like abusive and stuff is like, you're right. You're absolutely right. Like, I feel like that just crosses the line. Like, it sucks and it, like, probably hurts her more than him to be like 100. But you, like, have to.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. And then it's almost like people in his position then become expectant and then you're like mommy to him. But then you're also like. Like, he's. Like, he doesn't value it and he doesn't respect it and he's being abusive to you. And like, yeah, I think he's a grown man and it's sounding like with the way that he is treating you that maybe being pushed out into the world on his own is exactly what he needs. And I think you need to stand on business and just imagine, like, with how big your heart clearly is. And this person will also make you feel like. I'm. I just can gather that if she's gonna kick him out, he's gonna, like, sob story it up. You're really gonna do this to me and yada, yada.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, I am for that. Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
You did X, Y and Z to me, and I am absolutely kicking you.
Trisha Paytas
Is he living with the uncle, Whoever is, he's living with, like, as your support, as your, like, backup, because you might, like, crumble and, like, get scared and, like, stand down. I guess the second part of her question was like, how, like, how do I. How do I leave? It's like, it's such a. Or how do I get rid of this situation?
Tana Mongeau
Like, how do you, like, because someone anchoring you down. I think you stand on business. On business.
Trisha Paytas
But, like, do you just, like, take their stuff out of their house? Like, I don't know the proper, like, protocol for this thing. Like, if he's living there, like, what do you do hard?
Tana Mongeau
Like, I do think that maybe you reach out to resources for proper protocol. I think, like, my advice to you is in this situation, I would, I would have that final straw of that one last thing. Maybe you give him an ultimatum if you really love him and you say if you do anything, X, Y and Z one more time, your stuff is going to be on the street and I will call the police. I. I'm not going to lie. I would skip the ultimatum and I would just say that now. I would say your stuff is going to be on the street and I will call the police and it's going to be the hardest two weeks ever, it's going to feel like. But then you will be out on the other side and he's going to learn things he needs to learn and Then you're not going to have to carry this burden. Like, I'm just imagining how heavy she feels right now with this anchor weighing her to the bottom of the ocean.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, she's like, crying and she's, like, waiting to pick him up. You know, you're already there, girl. You know, this is like your body is rejecting everything that's happening right now.
Tana Mongeau
Huh. And I think that you wouldn't make this call if you weren't aware. And I think a lot of times in situations, we feel like we're not strong enough to do it. But you are. You are strong enough to do it. To anyone out there listening right now, if you feel like you are not strong enough to do it, it, you are. And like, the you in 30 days is gonna be like, oh, that ate. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I ate. I wish I did it sooner. And now I'm out of this toxic cycle and I'm healing and I have maybe 50 more bucks to go buy a cute face mask with.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, it's. It's so one thing if you're taking care of somebody who's respectful and grateful and you guys make it out of the trenches together.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
But, like, how the are you gonna have nowhere to sleep and be emotionally abusive to me? You only get one.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And even at that, you don't get one. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, yeah, his only. And like, you have to look at it as like he's mentally ill too. You know, maybe he doesn't mean that and he has a good heart, but he's got to get thrown out into the real world.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. These are consequences.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. There are consequences of his actions. You don't. You don't just get a roof over your head with the payment as love, and then you're not showing the love, you know? Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Even if it was like my own child and they're being like, abusive to. To me or someone in my family, like, you're out. Like, you just. Yes, it's like the worst feeling. But, like.
Tana Mongeau
But sometimes that is the only way. Because I'm sure that if you love and care about him, you want him to get his together and grow into a better person. It's the only way is like that harsh truth and diva. I think you know what you got to do and you are strong enough to do it truly. And you're going to be like, yes. You're going to feel so much lighter. I like so much lighter, baby. And there's so many men out There that will then end up repaying you. Like, you are so caring, you know, like, imagine all I want now is for her to, like, get taken care of and see the other side of it. And it's so there happen. It's so. Well, and I'm just proud of you for taking the first step to even calling us.
Trisha Paytas
That's true. You got awareness. A lot of people call in. No, I think they just need that, like a reassurance, you know, I think.
Tana Mongeau
This is you right now. You're the Take Care Bear and soon you're going to be the Funshine Bear Bear. I love that and I love you.
Trisha Paytas
That was a great analogy for our.
Tana Mongeau
Little Care Bear, you know? Yeah, she's the take Care Bear. And she deserves, like, she deserves some cheer bear, you know?
Trisha Paytas
I love a cheer bear.
Tana Mongeau
We love you. And you got this. I'm serious. Kick that grown man to the curb, say sink or swim, and he will probably swim and everything will be fine. It's not like you're putting a baby on the street. Word to Gabbie, Hannah, there's babies on the street. What?
Trisha Paytas
What?
Tana Mongeau
Remember when she said that about what.
Trisha Paytas
What babies?
Tana Mongeau
You'd have to ask Abby. I don't know what were on the. But there were babies on the street.
Trisha Paytas
I know so much. Gabby, Hannah, Lauren. I never heard that.
Tana Mongeau
She goes, I cannot sleep. There are babies on the street. But yeah, you're not.
Trisha Paytas
She ate with that. Cuz that is kind of probably true. Like just like homeless babies.
Tana Mongeau
Yes, exactly. And like, he is not a baby on the street. He's a grown man on the street and like, hit consequences of his own actions. He shouldn't have treated you like. And I think you should stand on business. And I love you.
Trisha Paytas
I forgot about that era. Remember that guy broke into her house. House. Like, invited him in. But also like, he like, was being weird.
Tana Mongeau
That was like, oh, my God. And she was like on live. And it was crazy.
Trisha Paytas
It was real. That's so odd when you think about that era.
Tana Mongeau
I 100 think that was real.
Trisha Paytas
What do you mean? She's like, let him in to use the bathroom.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. That was so strange. I like, want to watch that live in the car again. But she's like slaying now.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, she. She's fine.
Tana Mongeau
She's a bar instructor or something.
Trisha Paytas
Love.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. And like, love that for her.
Trisha Paytas
I think about it from time to.
Tana Mongeau
Time and honestly, like, most iconic quote ever. There's babies on the street and she can't sleep.
Trisha Paytas
That's like kind of like woke.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. But yeah, Buddha, you got this. Call us back when you do and we'll get you to find a man who's going to take care of you tenfold. The universe will be repaying you. When you're being emotionally abused, like your whole idea of self, your whole addiction to those highs and lows of the toxicity, you're like, like walking on eggshells. It's the worst. And.
Trisha Paytas
And you kind of don't think about it. Cuz you don't think of abuse as like mental. He's not hitting me.
Tana Mongeau
Well, yeah. And am I crazy? And. Oh, he's really nice sometimes. And it makes up for it. Wrong. Bye. There's someone out there who will never spike your nervous system ever. To everyone listening right now. There's someone out there who will never spike your nervous system ever. In your friends and your relationships. Everything I'm so passionate about, I really am. I'm so passionate about that. Like, there is someone for you who will make you feel safe and seen and calm and yeah, we all deserve it.
Trisha Paytas
And if you're someone who spikes other people's nervous systems, you know, you can.
Tana Mongeau
Look in the mirror, get help.
Trisha Paytas
Because it can help. I was someone who probably was a little tumultuous back in the day, so.
Tana Mongeau
Me too.
Trisha Paytas
You know, get some help. Calm yourself.
Tana Mongeau
That's so true. That is actually so valid. Like, yeah, I think we've both also been that person and yeah, you don't have to be that person forever.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Like I always thought this is just me. I'm just uncontrollable. That's my mental illness. But like you can like get help for it so you don't have to like destroy other people's lives.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. 100. What would you say the biggest thing is that helped you.
Trisha Paytas
Truly at the beginning? Therapy. I still do it like once a week, but it's almost like my life is good. I don't need it. But at the beginning. And you should keep going even when life is good. I've been trying to do it more frequently because I'm like, no, things are good. I should do a check in. When I was at my rock bottom, I was going like five days a week. 2019. May 2019. I was going like five days a week because I like, could not control myself. I like, we were talking about this earlier, like looking at comments and being obsessed with like what the Internet said about me. It was something I could not break and it was making me spiral so much. And I would go to this therapist and I would, like, pay him every morning to be like, let's not look at your phone today. Let's go for a walk after this. Like, me go for a walk after talk. Let's call a friend. I'd call, like, Shane. This was the middle drum again. And he's like, watching James Charles crash out. And I was like, can I just be around you? Because I was, like, so scared to be, like, by myself. So he was, like, every day just telling me, like, things to do besides looking at my phone.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And, like, it's, like, weird sometimes you need to hear from just, like, a complete stranger because, like, everyone in my life could tell me what was wrong. Like, stop looking at comments. Stop doing this. And it was like, just, like, this random guy in West Hollywood that I was like, he was a therapist, but, yeah, I need to message him. I really need to thank him. I only went to him for, like, a month, but he really changed my life.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, wait, that's really sweet.
Trisha Paytas
And I was going, like, five days a week, and I was, like, sobbing. I'm like, I can't control myself. Like, my life.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. He probably, like, sees you on Broadway thriving, and he's like, hell, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I know. I recommended my sister to him, like, three years ago, and she's like, I loved him. I love him. I need to, like, reach out to him.
Tana Mongeau
Wait, yeah, I might need his card.
Trisha Paytas
He's so good. And, like, his Instagram is so, like, friendly. And he's always just about, like, I love him. He's just.
Tana Mongeau
I honest. I want his contact. That's everything.
Trisha Paytas
I'm keeping. Like, well, I won't say what I typed in, but I was a gay therapist in, like, West Hollywood, and I was like, yeah, he came up.
Tana Mongeau
So that's so. I need a gay therapist. Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
So he was so good. Like, just so affirmative. Just so, like, validating everything. Like, I'm like, I know I sound crazy. I know it's this. And he was just, like, super validating. And I was like, I loved him. And it really was. He gave me, like, four simple steps. He's like, you need to get proper sleep. You need to get out and socialize, eat a balanced diet and get some, like, activity. It's, like, very simple things that you probably should do every day. But it, like, stuck with me as.
Tana Mongeau
I was saying this the other day, that for so long, I was in such a dark hole that I was so genuinely convinced that all of those, like, I would look at all of those advices as, like, Stupid. You know what I mean? I'd be like, a walk's not going to help me. A shower is not going to help me. Like, you know what I mean? Like, going and touching grass and sitting in nature is not going to help me. I'm so up in the head. And then when you start slowly implementing those things with consistency, you will see a difference. And I wish I just, like, gave up on my stubbornness towards those things.
Trisha Paytas
Crazy.
Tana Mongeau
And my ADHD paralysis. I wish I pushed myself to do those things more. Like, take that walk. Take a walk.
Trisha Paytas
That saved me in postpartum last year. So, like, I haven't walked lately, but I haven't been depressed. But, like, I know postpartum, I do feel like, oh, my God, my whole world's changed. I'm no longer myself. And when I go for those walks, oh, my God, it changed my life. Last, like, last postpartum, I was just like. I didn't feel like unaliving myself. I was like. And it was just going out for a walk. It's so crazy. And maybe walks are not for everyone. I love journaling. Like, whatever. It is something that you think is so stupid. Like, a lot of people think journaling, like, try it. Maybe it's not for you, but physical. Some physical activity or something is great.
Tana Mongeau
And like, oh, my God, I'm turning into the Hawaii. Because, like, nature, like, go stare at some trees and sit there and notice little. A little animal on the tree. Sit there and I'll watch Moa. Just. Just sit and pick shapes out of the clouds. And I used to be like, what? And then I started doing it with them, and I was like, oh, period. Like, you know, it's like I saw someone say on TikTok the other day, which is funny because it's exactly. What we're saying is to put the phone down. But they were like, take a walk until your day is interesting. And, like, at my lowest, seriously, like, stupid. That would just, like, stupid, you know, like, would help me so much.
Trisha Paytas
It's not stupid, because being on your phone. I love being on my phone. I'm on my phone all the time. But, like, being on it 24 7, especially if you feel like you're spiraling in any sense. Obviously, I was getting a lot of hate on the Internet. But even if you're not getting the hate, if you're comparing your life, you're seeing someone being so happy and in love and, like, having babies or whatever, like, comparison is kind of like the root of all evil, too. So it's like, you got to be really mentally well. And even me mentally well. I need to, like, watch myself to not be on the phone too much. Because you do. We were talking about this too. I was talking about something how I felt like the whole world. I just was like, I had so much anxiety. I had to put my phone down. And both of you were just like, didn't even know that was happening.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And it was like. But it was so amazing. My chest. And I was like, the whole world, it's my. Everything I worked for is ruined. You're like, literally had no idea that was happening.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. It's like, there's just like such a whole wide world out there.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
That's happening and still moving and like, even just sometimes really sitting with your thoughts and like, clearing them, you know, sit outside and just think about all of the things until you clear them, you know, Nothing.
Trisha Paytas
Like when you can really be in a state of like, nothing's in your head. I try to do that before bed. I try and just, like, clear my mind. Like, no thought thoughts, you know, if that means, like, being present, counting your breaths, like looking at a Birds flying. Like, counting birds. Like, whatever it is. Like having zero thoughts is actually like the ultimate state of, like, nirvana almost. It's just like, wow. It's in and out. Sounds like spiritual whatever.
Tana Mongeau
But no, it's so true. I have been also trying to, like, do that. Just focus on something stupid before I go to sleep instead of ruminating. I saw someone say that for adhd to help sleep without, like, ruminating your thoughts. To think of a letter in the Alphabet and then just think of every word that you can possibly think of with that letter.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And I've been doing that every night and not kidding, it's actually been changing my life. Like, instead of sitting up and thinking about, like, how I'm gonna die tomorrow because of XYZ or like, you know what I mean? Like, things I can't control.
Trisha Paytas
Worrying about what the Internet says about you.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Friends say about you. I was like, so worried about that. I'm just like.
Tana Mongeau
And it is just about practicing these, like, small things to eventually, like, come to a healthier mindset. On WhatsApp, no one can see or hear your personal messages. Whether it's a voice call message or sending a password to WhatsApp, it's all just this. So whether you're sharing the streaming password in the family chat or trading those late night voice messages that could basically become a podcast, your personal messages stay between you, your friends and Your family, no one else, not even us. WhatsApp message privately with everyone.

How do we get there? What is that question? I love it though.
Tana Mongeau
It's like a 20 minute answer.
Trisha Paytas
We got like, so deep in this last episode. I'm like, wow, there's so much to be discussed.
Tana Mongeau
I'm telling you, it's the comfy clothes. I'm not thinking about sequins in my.
Trisha Paytas
That's true. Comfy clothes. We ate. I just like, wow.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I feel great. I got a fun one, though. Okay, we have a fun one.
C
Hi. Trisha and Tana. Both of you are so beautiful and amazing. So my question is. Well, first of all, let me give some backstory. I used to work at the Box as a bottle server. I feel like Tana has definitely been there. I don't know about Trish, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Yeah, it was a wild place. I feel like it was definitely the Illuminati. Let me know if you agree. Love you guys. Guys, bye.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Just a quick side note, I got an email and it was like the Illuminati was the, like, from the Illuminati.
Tana Mongeau
Did you open it?
Trisha Paytas
No. No. I guess it probably was like, so stupid. Like, I don't think Illuminati is like emailing people on their Hotmail account.
Tana Mongeau
I wonder if they are like, hello.
Trisha Paytas
We are the Illuminati. Like, I just saw the first thing and I was like, I don't think this is real.
Tana Mongeau
But also, if you got asked to join the Illuminati, would you?
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I'm scared. They're like, listening. I don't want to say, like, no, no. I probably wouldn't, but I just avoid it. It. Yeah, it's like ghost for me. I don't believe in them, so they don't approach me.
Tana Mongeau
I kind of agree. I don't know if I fully believe in the Illuminati, but I guess we'll never know. But don't.
Trisha Paytas
Sometimes I don't. I don't find. If you want to join it, that's you I'm scared of everything. You know what I mean?
Tana Mongeau
So, yeah, I don't know. I'm sorry, but no, that was real. That was real, what you just said.
Trisha Paytas
The box.
Tana Mongeau
You've been.
Trisha Paytas
You were, like, gagged about it.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. The box is a. I would call it a sex club. Some people say it's more of, like, a performance art. There's one in New York and there's one in London. I don't know if there's any more.
Trisha Paytas
Is there intercourse involved?
Tana Mongeau
Allegedly. At some. Right. That's not what they. Like. It's no phones, and it's really, like, no phones. Like, you go in and you cannot use your phone. Like, there are people everywhere to make sure you can't. And they have these shows on stage and they're like. They're not hot. They're crazy. It's very much like, shock factor Final Boss. Like, I don't even want to, like, tell you some of the things I've seen.
Trisha Paytas
Like, gross.
Tana Mongeau
Really? Like, yeah, like, very shock factor gross.
Trisha Paytas
Like, why do people like it?
Tana Mongeau
We were just at the Box in London, and this girl took this, like, flag out of her vagina, and it was just going for, like, miles, and it, like, wrapped all the way around the club, and it was, like, all in her. Like, it's. Yeah, it's like, craziness and, like.
Trisha Paytas
And is it, like a. Okay, is it a kink or is it, like.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I think it's like. Well, in New York, it's very much normalized as, like, a seriously popular nightclub, and people just love to go. Like, I'm sure there are people where it's a kink, but I would say the majority, like, just want to go and get drunk and, like, see some crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Okay.
Tana Mongeau
But it's so cool. There was, like, one year where.
Trisha Paytas

Tana Mongeau
We lost one of our, like, best friends at the box. And you never want your friend to get lost at the box because you're like, where are they? What's going on? Wait.
Trisha Paytas
But I thought it was just like one stage. It's like a performance, but it's like a big club.
Tana Mongeau
It's a big nightclub, but other stuff happening around.
Trisha Paytas
Why are you scared if your friend gets lost?
Tana Mongeau
Because a lot of the, like, workers and performance people are there and they're roaming around. Like, it is kind of a darker environment. Like, it's not like light and happy. Like, I don't know, you just like, Just like. Especially like if your friends, like, really drunk, it's like, who did they leave with? Or like, you know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like people out of the club or.
Tana Mongeau
Just the people there could have, like, take it. I don't know, whatever. But we ended up finding her, like, backstage with like all the workers. And like, it was like, Like, I don't know. I don't want to get banned from the box. I don't want to say too much, actually, because I do like it.
Trisha Paytas
Secret club. I've never heard of this.
Tana Mongeau
It's like, oh, my God. I mean, you could go. Like, anyone can go to, like, people wait in line for hours to go.
Trisha Paytas
Like, sounds like I won't come out. I feel like that sounds so scary.
Tana Mongeau
It is like, very intense and scary. But I think it's cool. Like, some of the things I've seen on stage. Like, I like the shock factor of it. I've always wanted to work there. So, like, she had my work there.
Trisha Paytas
She's like getting paid to be there.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Like, you get to see it every night. Like, Mako and I were just. We were just at the one in London and we were like dying laughing because, like, there'd be the security guy just like sitting there, straight face while this girl is like squirting out of. Yeah. I've seen people on. People on stage at the Box. God, there was like one show I saw where it was like a bunch of little people into condoms and then like shoving it back up inside themselves. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. I don't even know what to say.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's like wild. It's really wild. But like, I've always, like, thought it's so cool, the environment. I think they should have like a reality show. Not even about the show, but like the work environment. Because it is like a performance art. They all are like, they props and they have songs and then people sing like it.
Trisha Paytas
I'm like, speechless. I actually don't. It's like. Doesn't even feel like, real.
Tana Mongeau
I love the box. I don't know. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
That's wild. Everything you just said and then just like. I love the box.
Tana Mongeau
I know. I know. It's just so crazy. Like there was this lady singing last time we were there, there. And her voice, like, she genuinely sounded like Whitney Houston. Like, she was so talented singing. Oh, and she. But she was singing. Jimmy, sorry, you're gonna have to bleep some of these words. But, like, most beautiful tonality singing Eating over and over again. She was, like, going, eating, but it was, like, beautifully sung. And you did it at my birthday dinner.
Trisha Paytas
But she wasn't doing any of that. She's just singing it.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, like, but she was walking around singing it while, like, people were just doing on stage. Like, I don't know. I just think it's like, what a weird. And they bring people up onto the stage, like, from the. The crowd at the club.
Trisha Paytas
And I'd rather open that Illuminati email.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, yeah. No, it's not for everyone.
Trisha Paytas
That just sounds wild. I don't know what to even say. It sounds fake. It doesn't sound real. Even.
Tana Mongeau
Like, Makoa was really scared. My bodyguard Ray, he was really scared. Like, it was like, bring security.
Trisha Paytas
And that's pretty good.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I had to bring him shout.
Trisha Paytas
Out to all the security at the venues because. Because it's like our shows or something when they do it on security and they're just like, what the. Probably like, I don't. What I love, though.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I always think about that, like, some security guard thought they were going in for a regular concert, and then they see Trisha Paytas live Tanamojo.
Trisha Paytas
They're just like. Their ears are like this.
Tana Mongeau
No, but, like, because it is so much lore. You know what I mean? Like, I can't imagine watching the show with zero education on the lore. Well, either one of us, you know, like, that's nuts.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, no, for sure. When you, like, don't. Yeah, that's why I don't love when, like, anybody's like, oh, they want to come to your show. Like, if it's like a celebrity or something. And I'm like, I don't know. I love my show. I'm not about to, like, invite Ben Platt, who, like, sings beautifully at the Greek, to come to my show. Just being like, what is happening?
Tana Mongeau
I feel the same way. Or when people that you love, like, want to bring their partners, like, their wholesome partners. Like, oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You're just like, I don't know if that's the show. Luckily, the night I was in la, Beyonce was also in la. So so many, like, people that, like, I. Maybe they were like, I want to see your show. They were at Beyonce and I was like, thank God.
Tana Mongeau
Oh yeah, the executives too. Like, oh my God. Hunter is dating Brittany Snow and she came to our New York show and I was Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

Tana Mongeau
Mortified.
Trisha Paytas
I cannot.
Tana Mongeau
I was mortified. I, like gave her a 30 minute preemptive apology before and then a 30 minute apology after. Like, I was like, I'm so, like, I'm so sorry you had to see that. I love you. You're perfect.
Trisha Paytas
Get it? And I like art. Like, love my show. Love. It's like so much fun. But like, yeah, if you're not in the lore, like, you're like, what?
Tana Mongeau
Oh my God. I just said she's like a perfect angel on earth. And I was like, I'm so sorry.
Trisha Paytas
The talented ones that are like mainstream talent, you're just like, I. What am I doing? I always thought I was like a really. A pretty good singer. I'm like, I'm pretty good. I could have been Ursula and like Little Mermaid and then I sang with Lizzo and I was like, oh, my God, this is like an actual life singer. I'm like, I definitely can't sing, but in my head I'm like, I should be getting the Lizzo rose. And then I see her. I was like, absolutely not. Like, this is the reason. She is like, a goddess and.
Tana Mongeau
But like, at the same time, like, your lore and the way you're so mesmerizing and entertaining on stage and all of those things is, like, unmatched. So together. It is just as good of a show.
Trisha Paytas

Torturous. Yeah. Honestly, I don't know. Yeah.

Butt. And I was sitting there and I was like, how empowering. And then, like, everyone else I was with, like, didn't have that takeaway, and I was like, damn it.
Trisha Paytas
But that's kind of beautiful too. Like, different interpretations you thought was empowering.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I just. And it was like, I don't know. I just think that stuff is so cool because it really almost does feel like a really, really up, like, Cirque du Soleil show. Okay. Cuz there are people doing, like, body contortionism and, like, different things and like, especially the clubs being in New York and London, those are both very free places to express art and creativity. And, like, it is a form of, like, creative expression and art to be so sexually freeing.
Trisha Paytas
And, like, I love that idea of almost like, destigmatizing the sexualness of genitals or something, you know? Like, I like that.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Like, that's what it feels like.
Trisha Paytas
I think you lost me on, like, poop and stuff.
Tana Mongeau

Trisha Paytas
Like, there are clubs that you go to have sex with people. Yes.
Tana Mongeau
I don't. Yeah, I feel like that's not the presentation of the Box. But I'm saying, like, I do feel like the Box is for the girls and the gays. It's not like. Like, a lot of the talent is queer, which is really cool.
Trisha Paytas
Love. Okay. Like, we support.
Tana Mongeau
You know what I mean? Like, even just like, there were these two gay guys who were just doing like, they were in, like, the sexiest, like, lingerie and they were doing, like, the craziest contortionism, like, crawling up each other and, like, bending. And like, even McCall was like, Damn. Like, it takes muscle. It's so impressive to do that.
