36, Monica, three six mafia.
Host/Producer
With the utmost peace and love. I've always thought Jenna's usual hair gives Lord Farqua.
Kalila
Yeah, now I can't unsee her.
Guest or occasional speaker
I don't even have anything to say because it's like, listen, you're not wrong, but it sucks and it's sad, and you can't say that with the utmost peace and love. If it was with the utmost peace and love, you wouldn't have said it.
Kalila
Hi, slugs. I'm on tour, and I am about to be in Seattle, Olympia, Washington, Denver, Colorado, and I'll be in nyc, Philly, and Boston. All of those are coming up in October, November. You can get tickets at the link below. Pretty littlebaby tour.com. slugs, we just recorded a Patreon. All of us. Jules, Jenna, and Coco and I. And if you want to check it out, you could go to the Patreon. We actually covered a lot of, like, dating. Jules has some dating stuff going on.
Esther
If you want to find out Jules's secret crush. Oh, sign up for our Patreon. Help her in her dilemma.
Kalila
With this boy, I had to face humiliation also, and I handled it. You can check out the Patreon and shout out to our golden slug, Brandon, my mom is here and my grandma's sister is here, so don't be crazy.
Jenna
Well, okay. You should have not invited me then.
Esther
Jenna's already crashing out. Explain why you're crashing out again.
Kalila
Again.
Jenna
Again. Well, don't mind if I do. Well, one, because my breakfast sandwich fell on the car of the floor of my car. Ooh, you're upset that I woke up an hour early to make.
Kalila
Oh, that's so horrible.
Jenna
Early to make it. I pan toasted my bread, egg sandwich, AVO mash, everything, chicken, sausage, and it slid onto the floor of my car. You wouldn't eat it like that on the carpet. It went back and forth, back and forth with my water bottle over it. You would eat it. No, you wouldn't.
Kalila
No, but you would. I think I wouldn't, but.
Jenna
And then I'm also very angry because I'm always the only one who dresses up out of everyone. You're laughing because you know it's true. You know it's true. And then today, the one day that it's easy to just wear black. All witches wear black. Esther's like, you're not dressing up, Jenna. You didn't dress up today.
Esther
Do you even own any black? Is my question.
Jenna
No, I don't.
Esther
I don't think you do. I don't it's just pastel, right?
Jenna
Mm.
Kalila
How is that even possible for auditions?
Jenna
I don't wear black. I have an audition closet, but it's just like, blue. Blue clothes and jeans.
Kalila
I bet you would look good in black.
Jenna
No, I don't.
Kalila
Why don't you have it?
Jenna
Because it doesn't make me happy when I look down at it.
Esther
That's a really good way to live, though. It's like, you should wear colors that only make you happy.
Jenna
Like, when I look down, I like to be like, ooh, yay.
Kalila
I remember when I was little, someone asked what my favorite color was, and I said black. And they're like, well, that's not really a color. And it was sad.
Jenna
This is very telling.
Kalila
Is it?
Jenna
When I was younger, I used to tell people my favorite color was rainbow and metallic silver. And I would get the same response.
Kalila
We both have, like, dramatic answers to get attention.
Jenna
And everyone's like, what happened to green?
Esther
Green?
Jenna
I did like blue for a very long time.
Kalila
What's your guys favorite color? Green.
Esther
Yeah, green.
Jenna
Oh.
Esther
It's not the color that looks best on me, but it's the color that elicits joy.
Jenna
And she likes particularly like a. Like that bright green.
Esther
I love all greens.
Kalila
I do love green. Gre.
Jenna
I love that, like, bright green. Yeah.
Kalila
Like when you mix different shades of greens. What's your favorite color?
Jules
Like brown.
Esther
Brown. That's a very jewels answer for some reason. Yeah, brown is nice. Like tan. I wish they tan like chocolate. Like what? Brown. Brown.
Jenna
I'm talking about dick colors, Jules.
Jules
I like dick brown.
Kalila
I like chic brown.
Jules
I like any brown shit.
Jenna
Brown.
Esther
All browns. Okay, cool.
Jenna
Oh, wait, we're not supposed to be.
Kalila
Yeah, my grandma's sister is here.
Esther
Welcome to our Witch Spooky season episode. And today we are witches.
Kalila
Yeah, only today. Not every time. Like all the comments.
Jenna
Well, I'm a witch every day. That's why I dressed as me.
Kalila
You've said it 400 times to the point where it's just letting me know.
Jenna
Again, it never had value.
Kalila
It's losing meaning.
Esther
Forgive me if I undo this corset in the next two minutes because I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Kalila
Well, that's the point of the corset. It's to slowly kill you.
Esther
Oh, that is true. Does it really reshape your ribs over time?
Kalila
I don't know. But if it does, I think that's really sickening.
Esther
I think so too. Especially those really tight fajas.
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
Girls wear. And immediately after. I mean, no Judgment to, like, anyone who wants to, like, snap back immediately after having a baby. But those really, really tight fajas that, like, just shove everything inside. Like, that can't be good for the pelvic floor. Right.
Kalila
Why have judgment for that? I have judgment against that also because.
Jenna
I feel like the people who created it years ago were just men. I don't think it was women being like, I want my waist to be this small. It was men being like, I need your waist to be this small. Small.
Kalila
I don't know if I agree with that.
Esther
I think I'm seeing it more from, like, a medical standpoint. Like, I can't imagine it being good for your pelvic floor to crunch everything immediately and push everything down.
Kalila
But intestines moving around would be my first fear.
Esther
Exactly.
Kalila
Like, because that's actually trendy. Like, waist trainers are, like, on Instagram being sold, and I'm not buying it.
Esther
I mean, it's that scene from Titanic. Yeah, Right. Where she just gets getting pulled in more and more by the mom.
Jenna
Also, oxygen. It would make me so anxious if I couldn't, like, expand fully.
Kalila
You can let that belly out. Yeah. Yeah, same girl.
Esther
Are we going to jump right into topics? Because, like, I'm sure.
Jenna
I guess because I'm asleep.
Kalila
Yeah. What's wrong with you? Because you didn't have your breakfast.
Jenna
Yeah, I didn't have my breakfast.
Kalila
That is horrible.
Jules
Do you always have, like, a big breakfast?
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
Jules just stopped eating, you guys. What's going on with her?
Jules
That's not true.
Esther
She's like a sick dog.
Jenna
You never really ate, like, or you went through phases where you're like, oh, I had Matcha.
Esther
And then she binges. So she binges in secrets, and then she just swings back the other way.
Kalila
The age for that.
Esther
Yeah. Don't let it last. I think it's normal. Like, give it maybe another eight more months, and you gotta start eating again. Okay.
Jenna
Yeah.
Kalila
What are you trying to, like, starve? And then you get too hungry and you eat too much?
Jules
I don't have appetite, so I'm just, like, depression. And then when I'm hungry, I like, binge, binge, binge, and it's so bad.
Kalila
One thing I would say is that when the pendulum is all the way over here of starving, it's always going to swing back over here to needing to overeat. So if there's any way you could eat a little bit even though you're not hungry, then you won't binge later.
Jenna
It's just binging always leads to restriction, and restriction always leads to binging, and it will never, ever stop. I did that in college for a while because, yeah, I know. All I did was. It was like, my first time experiencing eating while being stressed or, like, eating because I was stressed. And I would be in the library, just, like, living at the cafe and realizing that living off of, like, muffins and just shit trash food was bad. And so then I started getting to the mentality of, like, I can't eat that because that's bad for me. And then it just leads to, no.
Kalila
There are no bad food.
Jenna
I eat whatever I want.
Esther
Your mom is. There are.
Kalila
My mom has ruined my confidence this week. She told me that I have a rash on my face. I need to see a dermatologist. Like, I'm, like, depressed from two days with her. She told me when we're going through my jeans, she's laughing and shaking my jeans. Yeah. She's like. I'm like, okay, save these. She's like, do you really think you're ever going to be this skinny again? How dare you?
Jenna
Why? She's like, yeah.
Kalila
And people think she's so innocent. We also. I have a viral video, the spoons.
Esther
You know, that I. I got to show you a TikTok I made about the spoons.
Kalila
What do you mean?
Esther
But it's, like, ebb related because it's viral. I was like, I'm gonna jump on the spoons trend.
Kalila
We told my dad that it had a million, 2 million views on TikTok. And he's like, why would anyone watch that? Our people are so lonely out there.
Esther
Meanwhile, he's getting absolutely r. I know.
Kalila
The comments are attacking him. They're, like, literally blaming him for all oppression. It's so bad. They're like, this is why I would never marry a man.
Esther
This is a cautionary tale. It's wild.
Kalila
And I want to defend him and be like, guys, he's 82. But that's such a full lie for me because he was like this forever. Like, right. Like, even when he was 42, he's always been. But I also partially blame my mom because she makes people, you know, useless. She renders them useless.
Jenna
I want her to come over to my house and render me useless.
Kalila
You would never be capable of that because you're like her. You don't sit still. And you do. Dude, do you sit still?
Jules
Jules, I love.
Jenna
Yeah. Look at her. She's not even alive right now.
Esther
She's of my ilk. Like, she's of my blood in this way. We are like natural bedrotters.
Kalila
Why are we like that? And Jenna and my mom and my grandma's sister who's also here, they never sit. They just work, work, work.
Esther
It's more like just your. Your constitution. Like, you're what you're born with. Like, some people are naturally energetic. They need less sleep.
Jenna
I'm not energetic, and I need more. More sleep, but I still need to.
Kalila
Go take a nap and come back.
Jenna
Yeah, but I still be standing up. If I'm in my house, I'm. There's always something to clean, something to fold, something to fix. Like, last night, I was FaceTiming with R at, like, midnight. He's like, okay, you said at 10:30 you needed to go to bed, so let's get in bed. I get in bed, I start fixing my lamp. He's like, are you handy womaning right now? What are you doing? Go to bed. I'm like, oh, but my lamp has this thing that I need to fix on it. It's like, I.
Esther
What is the feeling you have in your body if you sit still?
Jenna
Well, I also do like to sit still. It's just when I'm in my home, it doesn't happen because I feel like there are always things to do. Yeah. So. But if I, like, go to Alyssa's house, I will sit. Or Esther's house, I, like, sit on the couch. Except at Esther's house, there are things to do is she gives me orders.
Esther
Well, then that's why she can't just sit around.
Kalila
She's giving me a list. She literally. She, like. She's chomping at the bit when she walks in. Remember that one time I said you weren't allowed to come upstairs until you took the vacuum? Until I took it?
Jenna
You mean until I fixed it.
Kalila
Oh, you have to fix the vacuum.
Jenna
You needed me to fix it. She's like, my vacuum doesn't work. It's showing this code that there's something happening.
Kalila
You can't come in the house. And I didn't.
Jenna
I fixed it. I did get a bit excited.
Kalila
She's literally like a little kid. She's so excited about to do a scavenger hunt. She's so happy.
Jenna
I do like to also sit. And not, like, if I go to Alyssa's house, I sit on her couch and I just. Oh, good.
Esther
So you do know how to chill out. See, my mom can't even do that. My mom can't. My mom either sit and relax. Like, even on a plane where you.
Jenna
Have to be seat.
Esther
And, like, you cannot get up, you know, because of the fastened seatbelt sign. You see her, like, internally moving. Like, you can just see her, like, like fidgeting or trying to do something or licking her lips excessively, because she cannot just sit still.
Jenna
My mom is like that too. And I'm like, mom, did you ever. And maybe I get it from her. But then over time, I think I learned to relax. But I've asked my mom, like, do you ever, like, stop talking or stop doing things?
Kalila
And she's like, do you ever stop talking?
Jenna
Or, like, just stop talking.
Kalila
Women love to be out doing, which is anything.
Jenna
Like, stop talking, stop thinking, stop folding. Stop doing what? And she's like, no, I don't like to. And I'm like, well, but why? We don't have time for this. Okay, so she's like your mom and that she cannot sit still.
Esther
Well, she cannot confront the feeling or the thoughts that are in her head, in her body when there's silence.
Kalila
I think I just flew with my mom and I was like. She was like, okay, well, your bag isn't fully under the seat and your seat needs to be coming now. I'm like, I feel like I was flying with a flight attendant. I'm like, you don't work here. You can't tell me what to do. But my. My question for, like, you actually and for the audience is, are you a do it now or do it later?
Esther
I'm a do it, like, barely on time. Like, I am not. I am a full blown procrastinator.
Kalila
Yeah, I'm a do it later.
Esther
I'm a later, later, later. Last minute, girl.
Kalila
What are you guys.
Jenna
That is why I'm doing all of the things, because I'm doing them all so that I don't have thing that I'm putting off. Like, there'll be something that I have to do that's like, this is due tomorrow. I am folding, fixing.
Kalila
Oh, you do everything. That's true.
Jenna
I'm doing everything that's giving me this, like, little burst of dopamine so that I don't have to do the thing for some reason that would take me 10 minutes.
Esther
Yeah, your mental gymnastics with yourself.
Jenna
I get so much dopamine from, like, vacuuming for the 15th time or folding laundry and then putting it away or fixing my lamp or.
Esther
She's the one that's most interesting to me because she will absolutely side eye. You, like, the most cutting side eye. If you leave a dish in the sink or let's say you wash dishes and there's Some, like, water splatter around. And you don't wipe the whole counter down. She will, like, attack you.
Kalila
Meanwhile.
Esther
Meanwhile. Meanwhile, you enter her room, her bedroom, where she sleeps. And there's piles of crusty plates, no food. Clothes that are unfolded.
Jules
Yeah.
Esther
And it's, like, crazy because she's like. Like she's been yelling. She doesn't. Every single day where she's like, you're not doing this right. You're not doing this right. But in her own private space. She wants to rot in hell.
Kalila
That's not crusty plates.
Jenna
Yeah.
Jules
And I have, like, coffee drinks or matcha that are just like. There's, like, molds already. And I just leave it.
Jenna
You're Bobby.
Esther
But the outside is like. She cleans up everything perfectly.
Jules
So I think I just care more about what people see. But then, if it's just my own space.
Jenna
If you.
Jules
If you've seen my car, it's like. Like the way Titu. Bobby left. I've never cleaned it.
Esther
It's the same. It hasn't leveled up since the last.
Jenna
Time I cleaned it. It hasn't been clean.
Jules
It was, like, shit, too.
Jenna
But wait, so that makes sense. Because if it's your own space, it doesn't really bother you.
Jules
I don't care.
Kalila
Yeah, that does not make sense. Don't try to make sense of that.
Jenna
It does. Because she cares. Like, what other people think. Or if there's, like, a common area that they' to be like, oh, you didn't clean this, or you're not doing a good job. Yeah. Yeah.
Jules
But then if it's just my own thing, I. Yeah, that's true.
Kalila
I don't understand.
Esther
I have a topic I'd like to bring up. Not to toot my own horn, but I really think I started the Lana Del Rey marriage trend.
Kalila
Explain.
Jenna
Damn. I don't know anything. Please tell me.
Esther
So, Lana Del Rey. You know Lana Del Rey?
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
Okay. Ethereal goddess. Just, you know, queen of sad. Our queen. Yeah. Queen of sad. One day, just out of nowhere, married an alligator wrestler wrangler from Louisiana.
Kalila
Like a tour boat. A swamp tour guide.
Esther
Yeah. Swamp tour guide.
Jenna
That's hot.
Esther
Thank you. Thank you. Is a guy. When you're with someone, are they universally hot to you or are they geographically hot?
Kalila
Explain.
Esther
Okay. So I once dated this guy. I met him when I was in a different land. And over there I fell in love with everything. Everything about him. He was so powerful. It was his domain. I looked at him like the way he dove, the way he drove his truck. Everything I was like, God, the way.
Jenna
He dove, the way he drove everything right, everything. The way he shucked.
Esther
And I thought that I was in love. I was like, this is the man of my dreams. But then I took him out of his place of power and in brought him into my world. And I lost all attraction almost immediately.
Kalila
That is so real. Like, when you see a man out of his element, it is frightening.
Jenna
Unless you see a man out of his element and he still got it. Oh, and he's still him. Then I'm like, oh, you're for me.
Esther
Exactly. So I wanted to ask you. So Aloha is from Hawaii. He's a diver, He's a hunter. He's all of these things. But when I. When he came over here, he became even hotter because I'm like, oh, he just is great with everything and everyone. He's a better human than me. He's hot. He's universally hot to me.
Jenna
You see Aloha anywhere, and you're like, he's my man.
Kalila
And you're like, give me a piggyback ride, right?
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
Like, I feel like he's my man all over the world.
Jenna
Like, he's my leader.
Esther
He's my leader.
Jenna
He's my king. He's my queen.
Kalila
Exactly, Butcher. He's my butcher, my baker.
Jenna
I just need him in our community.
Kalila
Living Butcher and Lola Baker.
Esther
I wanted to basically, basically remind Lana Del Rey, because we know she watches the show.
Jenna
Oh, no.
Esther
This is a guy you were really attracted to in the swamp a couple times a year. You need to go back there and remind yourself why this guy is so badass. He's connected to nature. He knows what the fuck he's doing out there. He's like a man of the man out there. But if she pulls him too much into Paris Fashion Week and into her world and he's just like, who the fuck are these people? I hope he's universally hot to her. Not just geographically.
Kalila
He's universally hot to me.
Esther
He's hot because he's so hot.
Kalila
The way he's standing there at Paris Fashion Week, you could tell he's, like, ready to fight a gator, you know? Like, he brought that energy to. He sure did.
Jenna
He's. He's looking for a gator right now, you guys.
Esther
He's not.
Jenna
He's got dip in his mouth or something.
Esther
He is so hot. I can't even get over it.
Kalila
He's not standing there pretending like he's some model. He's like, I will. I'm here to protect her. From Gators.
Esther
But also, he probably looks at every single A list person. And he was like, who's that?
Kalila
Yeah, you give a.
Esther
And here's the final touch to why he's so attracted to sunglasses over the head.
Jenna
Where did she meet him?
Esther
It's such a country ass.
Jenna
So country.
Esther
It's so hot.
Jenna
So country.
Kalila
She met him, like, I think on a boat tour in Louisiana, I think.
Jenna
Oh, yeah, that's what you said.
Kalila
That's what legend says. Legend has it.
Esther
I hope they last forever. I am obsessed with this couple. I get it. I get it. And, you know, people on. On Tick Tock are like, this fries my brain. I'm like, no, this brings me immense joy. Like, this is so hot.
Kalila
What she's. I love. It's, like, subversive. Like, she's always doing something, you know, different and unusual with her platform. Like, she's bringing the gator guy. She's wearing a dress she bought at Ross for 13.99 on a red carpet.
Jenna
That's right.
Kalila
She's messing with things a little bit.
Jenna
I love that. Yeah, I didn't know any of that. And I. I love her now.
Kalila
She doesn't play by the rules of.
Jenna
Hollywood, but when you watch Gator man.
Esther
Well, for instance, r. It's like you love him universally everywhere. But is there a part of you that's like, you have to watch him in the field, on the field, play soccer, do this to be like, oh, my God, he's. I remember why.
Jenna
No, because I met him in high school.
Esther
Oh, okay.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
That's interesting. But he was. He was playing soccer then. But I've seen him in many iterations of him at this point that it's like. I mean, I think he needs to be doing what he loves to be doing and be around soccer for him to feel good. But I've seen him in so many different areas with different groups of friends, different countries, that I'm just like, you're universally hot to me.
Esther
Yeah. I saw this one time with my friend. Do you remember the guy she brought to one of our fight nights?
Jules
We.
Esther
That was wearing, like, Old Navy flare jeans.
Kalila
Wait, hold on.
Esther
Okay, so he was a very successful guy. He was, like, a CEO of some, like, robotics company. Like, really, like, highly successful. And I think she met him in that setting. And. But he was not necessarily, you know, like, standardly, like, handsome. And she was like, hey, you mind if I bring so and so to the family fight night? It's like, ufc. Gilbert's there, Jenna's there. Like, we're all just, you know, and she. That's when she realized, like, situationally, geographically hot, because she fell in love with him in his place of power, which was at the robotics company when he was at his big desk. And then he stepped out from behind the desk in his old navy flared jeans and into family fight night. And she was like, I can never have sex with this man. So, like, you really have to be real with yourself. Like, where are they hot? When are they hot? If they're hot all the time to you, that's your man.
Kalila
That is such a good test that I feel like doesn't get discussed enough. Like, for me, it's so weird whenever I've seen Dave in his element, because, like, at home, he's, like, 14 times a day, he's like, are you mad at me? Am I in trouble? Yeah.
Esther
What did I do?
Kalila
That's true. And then I see him at work, and he's, like, mean to everybody, and he's like. I'm like, whoa.
Jenna
I'm like, what?
Kalila
It's so crazy whenever I see that. I'm like, oh, my God. It's so. He is so confident at work. I don't.
Esther
It's, like, crushing his soul. I never tried to crush the poor man's soul.
Kalila
He asked me, like, am I in trouble? And I'm like, I, like, literally will yell at him. I'm like, you're not in trouble. Like, stop asking.
Guest or occasional speaker
Okay, but she'll also do this when.
Jenna
He'S like, are you mad at me? She'll go, no.
Kalila
But I'm not. He wants to be in trouble.
Jenna
It's true. And I will say that. That Dave has always been hot to me because I've always seen his, like, power.
Kalila
Yeah. It's like, he is mean.
Jenna
He will.
Kalila
He does not put up with any of my. No, I thought he would. Like, he is. He tricked me. Like, I thought he was going to be a pushover, and he's so not.
Jenna
He is the opposite of a pushover. Like, he will tell you he's not.
Esther
A people pleaser, too. I saw this with my very own eyes when my stepdad, Roger, was like, do you ever just want to break from your kids? And Dave's like, no, that's my daughter. And I was like, you tell him, Dave. Because, you know Roger, bless his heart, but, you know, he says some, like, misogynistic things. It's like, you know, just that generation, right? He's, like, almost 80.
Jenna
He did. And he was like. He looked at him like, why would you even Say that. What? And then he's like, come here.
Esther
See what Roger was trying to do was trying to bro down.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
He was trying to bro down and be like, don't you ever just want to a break from the women, the kids, you know, that, that, that kind of vibe. And Dave's like, no, Dave is so bad.
Kalila
Yeah, he. Dave is particularly like not play well with older Jewish men because he's so mean to my dad. Did I even tell you guys they had like a huge. There was like a huge drama between Dave and my dad.
Esther
Really?
Kalila
Months. Yeah.
Jenna
Tell me, how do I now know this?
Kalila
Oh my God. Basically we were at my parents house and you know, my dad like has access to my like accounts because he does, like my financial accounts because he does. Like some day to day, like he'll move money from my savings to my checking to help me pay my friend.
Esther
That's so embarrassing because Roger does the same for me.
Guest or occasional speaker
He does.
Esther
Yeah.
Guest or occasional speaker
That's the thing, Dave.
Kalila
Everyone needs to understand if you know an 80 year old Jewish man, that's what you.
Guest or occasional speaker
That's your CPA.
Kalila
You're literally keeping them alive longer. This is what they want to do.
Esther
Messages I get on a daily, like, send me the code fidelity.
Guest or occasional speaker
Wait, my mom. Yeah, I just realized that's my mom for me.
Jenna
So yesterday she's like, credit karma. Should have sent you a code. Your credit score went down.
Kalila
It's tricky because my dad does have a history of gambling. Dave made some comment like, oh, well, maybe we should change the passwords like so that my dad. And then it was like quiet for a second, like, your dad was there in person? Yeah. I mean, you thought I was gonna blow over. Then my dad's like, change the passwords. He's like, well, that's.
Esther
He.
Kalila
He just like got really upset and offended. What was said? I wasn't paying attention. Oh. But then like, it was weird. And so then like for a few months, like I noticed that whenever I would talk to my dad, he would like make a comment like against Dave. Then finally I'm like, dave, you have to apologize to my dad. And he did. And then like it was fine, but my.
Jenna
Apologize for what? Just saying that maybe you should change the passwords.
Kalila
Yeah. Like Dave was like basically saying like, my dad shouldn't have access to my money. Well, dad felt like that Dave thought that he was going to steal.
Jenna
Yeah, I get that. That would be super offensive.
Kalila
Yeah. No, what Dave said was really offensive because he's nasty to old Jewish men.
Esther
But sometimes they need to Be nasty. Too true. Like sometimes Roger, this is what he said to me. And by the way, Roger is one of those, like, he was a draft dodger in the best way. Like he, he was an activist against the Vietnam War. He is a history teacher. He's very liberal. He is very all about just the good things, right? But once in a while he'll say, you know, this is why older men go for younger women. It's the hair. That's what he says.
Jules
And then ethical.
Esther
I crashed out and I crashed out over this comment. Were you there?
Jules
Yeah, Christmas.
Esther
I thought, oh my God. I crashed out hard. Oh, it's the hair. It's just, you know, when your hormones are gone, your hair gets crispy and you just gotta chop it all off and all of you and all these women walking around crash the. Okay, but this is. Bless his heart, it's just his era. It's not his heart, it's his era.
Jenna
He was his hera.
Esther
And then he was like, that's why I don't. I would never allow your mom to cut her hair.
Jules
Yeah.
Esther
And I was like, allow? No, she needs your permission. I'm like, roger, she can do whatever the fuck she wants with her hair.
Jenna
I would have shaved her head right.
Esther
Then because my mom was like, hey, I really want to get like a bob cut because she looks great with short hair. And Roger's like, absolutely not merit us. You'll be so basically telling she's going to be ugly. And so then we like, we had like a head on collision. It was like, he's like, if you don't believe me, he gets kitchen scissors. He's like, cut your hair right now.
Kalila
Oh.
Esther
He's like, if you don't believe what I say, if you don't think long hair is dirty. He's like, if you don't agree with what I'm saying, he's like, cut your hair right now. And he gets me kitchen scissors. And I was about to cut my hair right there before my mom was like, no, no.
Jenna
But also it's up to you if you want to or don't want to cut your hair.
Esther
Yeah, but it's, it, but it's the type of nasty they say. And then the next day he's like, hi, sweetie, how you doing? Because he has a memory of a.
Jenna
Goldfish and because to him it wasn't like a, a, a big deal. He was just like stating what he's been taught his whole life.
Esther
But I just crashed out. I had the big reaction.
Jenna
I'd be like, Cut your dick off, then. If it doesn't matter, cut it off.
Jules
Even when I first came here, he. Oh, he told me, like, he was just saying, like, oh, I really thought you were. That's stupid.
Esther
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Jules
From the Philippines. Yeah.
Esther
What?
Jules
Yeah, he thought I couldn't read.
Kalila
He could.
Jules
He thought I couldn't do anything.
Esther
By the way, Jules is, like, a straight A student from, like, all throughout college and all throughout high school, but basically, he was. He would talk to her like this. Do you have homework today? How can I help you?
Jenna
And knowing Jules, she's just like, yeah.
Jules
No, he's like a helicopter parent. And I lived with him and Mata, so it was just a lot. And I would just be always like, no, like, I don't need any help.
Esther
I'm fine.
Jules
I'm fine.
Jenna
No, I don't need any help.
Esther
Remember when you first came here from. From America and, like, you couldn't do anything yourself? They would, like, wash through your dishes for you. They would make you eat breakfast.
Jules
Like, Matas would cook me breakfast and do her laundry.
Kalila
But she was a kid, right?
Esther
No, she was 6, 15 years old.
Kalila
That's a kid.
Jules
No, because in the Philippines, I did everything.
Esther
Yeah, but they wanted to baby the shit out of her. And so I was just like, all right, enough. You're gonna come live with me where I won't do anything, and you're gonna do everything for me.
Jenna
And then you missed it a little, right?
Esther
Because then it turned into, can you call the vet's office for me? Can you do this?
Kalila
Can you do that?
Esther
So she became, like, my personal assistant.
Jenna
What a dream that is.
Kalila
What's weird, I don't know what you do with teens. Like, basically, when. If you have a kid and they're at that age where they can do for themselves, do they do it for themselves, or do you still do it? Because this is a big thing.
Jenna
They do it for themselves.
Kalila
Yeah, but see, this is the thing with my sister where she's, like, always, like, so tired, has no time. She's like, I have to do all the dishes, whatever. And I'm like, your kids? I literally have heard them say to me, we could do it. She complains about it, but, like, their kids are like, we know how to do all that. And then I tell my sister that, and she's like, yeah, but they're kids, so I should be doing it for them.
Esther
I kind of understand that, though, because I think you spent so much of their early, like, formative years, like, like, absolute devotion, right? You have to do everything for them. And you get into that programming in your head. It's hard to do everything for them in their early years and then just, like, abruptly stop. I don't think. I think that has to. You have to wean from that slowly because you're, like, programmed to be like, I have to do everything for my kid. Because they don't know how to do it yet. They're six years old. They're seven years old. Maybe that doesn't leave your body. I'm not sure.
Jenna
And then imagine you have ways that you do things that you like. Things done that you've been doing for them their whole lives. I'm not being. People don't think they're being particular. They're just like, this is the most efficient way to do the thing, so let's do it that way. And then the kids don't do it that way.
Kalila
This is why I'm afraid of doing dishes.
Esther
Oh, my God. We've circled back to her incompetence.
Kalila
Because when I was younger, if I tried to do anything in the kitchen, I would get yelled at. I would get in trouble. So for me, the safest way to live is to just not do anything.
Jenna
You know what, Marmar? I'm with you. Because she's getting yelled at. Cause you. You're trying to help her do it correctly, efficiently.
Kalila
She's not trying to help me do it right.
Jenna
She said, why would she yell at you?
Kalila
She's. Because I did it wrong. And she.
Jenna
Exactly. So she wants you to do it right.
Kalila
No, she's not teaching me. She's not saying this.
Jules
But I do. I do feel like some people just don't know how to clean dishes. And I feel like that's you. So I guess it's fine that you get.
Esther
Yeah, because she would rather you leave it all in the sink. That's her. Because she'll get mad if she. This is what she does to me or her mom or anyone in the house. She won't say, atikalai, you've done this wrong. She'll make it so that she's with an eye shot and she's in the kitchen. She goes to the dish rack, the drying rack. She does this, and she makes it. She knows I'm watching. And then she'll rewash it. And I'm like, oh, she's trying to.
Jenna
Let you know you could, but did.
Kalila
You guys ever go to someone else's house when you were younger and you're like, these dishes are not clean. And it like, Traumatized you.
Jenna
I didn't care when I was younger. I care a lot now. I look at. Whenever I go to your house, I look at the cups every single time.
Kalila
Because the dishwasher doesn't do it.
Jenna
Yeah.
Jules
The detergent you're using.
Jenna
No, no, no.
Kalila
That's what she says. Is that because I'm using like a clean alternative detergent?
Esther
It could be. Actually, I think you're right. Because lately when we've been using the clean stuff for the baby, it just doesn't wash it.
Kalila
I know.
Jenna
I want to be in denial about this.
Kalila
Why? Oh, because you don't want to use.
Jenna
Because I don't. Because I'll never use it.
Esther
You're never going to use Cascade?
Jenna
No, it's whenever I people's homes and they have and I take a sip of water, the whole thing smells and tastes like Cascade.
Esther
Can I tell you, Jenna had a crash out in my house cuz we have from our water and she was like, I don't feel well. I drank a little bit of your water and like, I'm like having like palpitation.
Kalila
You were like, it's not Filipino water just because of them. Wait, this did happen.
Esther
Alkaline water, but it was like from those, like delivery service and acrylic containers.
Jenna
I was flipping out those days because I was having back to back heart episodes.
Kalila
What was wrong with your water?
Jenna
Nothing was wrong with her.
Esther
She's like, have you ever felt this way when you drink your water?
Kalila
I was like, no, I would shoot you.
Jenna
I said, I was like, it was either your water or something that I ate, like in my bag, which is like, most likely something I ate in my bag. And she's like, nope, it's the same water we give the baby. So it's not that I go, okay.
Esther
It's so funny. You don't look like a witch. You look like Captain Hook or some kind of like, pioneer.
Kalila
You don't look good. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. October 10th is World Mental Health Day. And this year we're saying thank you, therapists.
Esther
I think that what I get most out of therapy is I don't always connect the dots. It's such a relief when someone can do that for you. It's very validating. It makes me feel less alone. It makes me feel seen, understood, and it also makes me feel like I can tackle that feeling better.
Kalila
Help therapists are quality. They work according to a strict code of conduct and are fully licensed in the US and BetterHelp does the initial matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals. I have to say, that can be one of the most intimidating parts of getting a therapist is, like, how?
Esther
Who?
Kalila
What? And so the fact that they have this questionnaire and they can guide you is a huge asset of better help.
Esther
And this World Mental Health Day, we're celebrating the therapists who've helped millions of people take a step forward. If you're ready to find the right therapist for better help can help you start that journey. Our listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.comtrashtuesday that's BetterHelp hlp.comtrash Tuesday.
Host/Producer
We've got some witches brew for you guys today. We decided to do, like, a potion break instead of a banana break.
Kalila
What is. It's so funny guy's voice, like, just the most, like, monotone guy.
Host/Producer
Apologize.
Kalila
No, for, like, the girly shit we have. You. Witches brew.
Host/Producer
There's matcha in there.
Jenna
He's like, yeah. So we got your witches brew here today because we decided to do that instead of a banana break.
Kalila
Yeah, bitches.
Jenna
Wait, this is the oat, right? Has it taste good? It's good.
Esther
Oh, you know I can't have matcha.
Jules
I'll take it.
Jenna
Jules is gonna drink everyone's.
Esther
What else is new?
Kalila
What else is new? I love saying that to Dave, like, in the morning. So what's new? He's like, like, yeah, you do that to me, too.
Jenna
We'll be hanging out for seven hours. She goes, so, what's new? It's like, bitch. What? Nothing's new. I've been sitting here rubbing your feet, massaging, making you pancakes, fixing your vacuum cleaner. You know what's new and you know what's old.
Esther
But there could be developments throughout the day.
Kalila
Yeah. Especially with you. Maybe you drink some bad water.
Jenna
It wasn't actually bad, but I'll be at your house the amount of times a day Esther texts me. Sup?
Kalila
Yo. Yes.
Jenna
What's going on, little.
Jules
Are you, like, a clingy friend?
Kalila
Yeah. Are you?
Jenna
No.
Kalila
No, you're not.
Jenna
I wouldn't. I don't see you as clingy, though. Although I guess you are.
Kalila
I am, but I can handle any kind of. You know.
Jenna
Yeah. That's the thing. Like, I'm never worried about hurting her feelings or saying the wrong thing. Like, she can be clingy, and I can uncling her and be like, get away. And she'll be like, okay, somebody's angry.
Kalila
I'm in trouble. Yeah. I like when you yell at me.
Esther
Do you share your location with Jennifer and everyone.
Jenna
Just me and Dave.
Esther
But whoever wants it. You're not like, precious about it.
Kalila
No. If anyone, Jenna has it. She won't give me hers, though. Yeah, why not?
Jenna
No, because of this reason.
Esther
Yeah.
Jenna
There was a time when I shared my location with you, like 10 years ago. I was like, sure, who cares? But the way that Esther checks it and wonders and is like mapping to me or asking, oh, I see you're here. What do. It's like, no, you lost it.
Esther
You lost your privilege.
Jenna
And you know what? It's not that there's even anything wrong with that.
Esther
There is. Please don't say there isn't.
Jenna
It's more so weird that I worry that I'm gonna have to like that it's gonna be more stressful for me, that I'm gonna have to answer a question about something, that I'm gonna have to tell her where I am. What? I'm getting pictures of what I ordered. Yeah, that's weird.
Esther
But then also I see that you're not the only one who's like this, because very recently I came across a person and a friend who I didn't know was like this. But she excessively tracks people in her life for no reason. Remember Jules?
Jenna
Maybe it's fun to her.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
Where she was literally reciting to us where this other friend of ours was.
Kalila
That sounds so funny.
Esther
She's downstairs in the parking lot. Oh, my God. She's downstairs in the parking lot.
Kalila
Okay.
Esther
She's in her car in a parking lot. Like, leave her the fuck alone. And why is she over here at this dim sum place? And we were.
Jules
Jules and I were like, oh, I was getting annoyed.
Jenna
Yeah, see, that's the thing with me, you know, I say too much. I would have just been like, why the fuck do you care? Let's move on.
Kalila
Do you share with anyone?
Esther
My sister and Jules. And that's it.
Kalila
What about Aloha?
Esther
Oh, we haven't gotten there. You know, we're very.
Kalila
You're not that close yet.
Esther
We're not that close. We have a baby. But you guys never go out Sarata, so. Well, I know that's not his choice. That's not my. I feel bad. I refuse to believe that parenting is anything but. But a tandem job. Solo parenting, not it for me. I don't think that parenting, even for a day, even for two hours, is a one person job. I think it should be two people there at all times for emotional support or whatever else it requires. When I'm at Work and Aloha's like, oh, cool. Like, I'll be alone with the baby. Nope. I require that my mom or Jules or somebody is there. If it's just Jules, I'll have my mom join her. It's a two person job.
Kalila
Why is that?
Esther
I. I don't. I just feel like it is. There needs to be a witness. Because, for example, especially this young, if they can't fend for themselves and someone has croaks or has a heart attack, there has to be a witness there to figure out to take care of the baby. Right. Like, and I think about this all the time. It's like, my mom, of course she can take care of the baby by herself.
Kalila
Frog. Is he croaking too often? Yes.
Jenna
Such a loser.
Guest or occasional speaker
Oh, my God.
Esther
Did you guys don't think about this or no. No.
Jenna
I will say that when I'm watching other people's kids. Ever since I started having, like, more prominent health issues, I do worry. What if I pass out? Because that's like, my fear.
Esther
Yeah.
Jenna
What if I pass out and the baby is just here on their own and so sometimes they'll be fine. Yeah.
Esther
Esther is like, you're much better than me. Because even when the early years of, like, just the newborn trenches or the early years, the early months of the newborn trenches, I couldn't breastfeed alone. I couldn't change a diaper alone. I needed someone there to witness. I was afraid. I have this, like, fear that I'm, like, doing something wrong, that I need correction, that I. Someone can like, maybe, you know, help me be better. And I just think that Aloha and I. He is my prisoner. He left for Seattle for some. For a doctor's appointment for. For literally less than 48 hours. And when I tell you after his appointment, I was like, take the first flight home. Like, you're not allowed to have a coffee anywhere. Like, you have to fly home. Like, this is a two person job.
Jenna
If there are no. Why are you leaving me alive?
Kalila
But were you ever alone or did you have.
Esther
I'm rarely alone. That's just not a life I want to live.
Jenna
That's not the life she wanted to live before she had a kid. So with kids, she's not living. She needs. Needs double the amount of people that she needed.
Esther
Tandem parenting. We are side by side, I would say.
Kalila
For all my fears, I've never been afraid of midday croaking, like, of anyone who my croaking.
Jenna
I feel like you're unlocking this new fear where I'm like, oh, man, people are gonna have a midday.
Kalila
My croaking. I will have more. I will. No.
Esther
Well, most people croak early morning, so you're safe there. Yeah.
Jenna
Why are you saying that?
Kalila
Why am I.
Jenna
Don't tell me that.
Kalila
Midday.
Jenna
Safe.
Esther
Yeah. So usually people croak from cardiac, like, implications anywhere between, like, 5:30am to like, 7:00am and it's because. Don't tell me that your arteries are tend to be a little bit less. Like, there's less movement. You're just waking up for your day, and then there's sudden movement. So most heart attacks actually happen.
Jenna
So I shouldn't do sudden movement in the morning?
Kalila
Oh, my God. What are you doing?
Esther
For you. You're not gonna early croak. I'm talking about, like, you know, people who have, like, comorbidities and cardiac problems.
Jenna
Well, I don't not have cardiac problems.
Kalila
Look, this is the witches episode. There's gotta be some spookiness.
Esther
Okay?
Jenna
No one's gonna croak. No one's gonna croak. Midday, mid morning.
Esther
Mid drive is one of my biggest ones.
Kalila
Mid drive.
Esther
That's why I need someone in the car. Like, no person is allowed to drive my baby by themselves. There has to be maybe a person who's gonna grab the wheel in case driver croaks.
Jenna
Esther would let her baby drive.
Guest or occasional speaker
Like, are you kidding?
Esther
Waymo.
Guest or occasional speaker
You fucking would. Well, she's all right. Most people are fine.
Kalila
She's all right.
Esther
I do realize this is everything to do with postpartum anxiety. And I will, you know, rise from. From this.
Kalila
You will rise from that.
Esther
I will actually feel the death.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
You know, Esther loves to have two people around as the judge when it's not her doing the work. So, like, when you. When you're the one doing something, whether it's like. Like cleaning her baby's diaper for her, or like, a couple days ago, I was over there making these pancakes that she wanted me to make, but I had never made them before. And then she told me how to make them, and she's like, okay, I'm gonna go lay back down. She did not. She stood there in the kitchen with me, this close to me, this close. And I'm like, bro, can you give me some space? And she's like, oh. And it's not even like she was there to help me, because she could have been like, oh. So now that usually I look at.
Kalila
Her face, I wanted to see.
Esther
You are a tiger mom. You're a tiger mom in, like, in disguise.
Jenna
I think Cause it's not helicopter. Where she was managing. Cause Esther doesn't know how to manage anything. She was just, like, wanted to look and, like, ooh.
Kalila
I wanted to see how you were making the pancakes.
Jenna
It was making it worse. And then I made her leave the kitchen, close the door, and locked her out from the kitchen. She did lock me out because it was bad. I was like, I can't make these without you.
Esther
And then under pressure.
Jenna
No. And then I was flipping them, and I was burning them. And as soon as she left. Perfect Pancake cakes.
Esther
Yeah. I mean, I feel that I wouldn't want.
Jenna
What's that face?
Kalila
I instructed you how to make them. You. So I'm the chef and you're the cook. I needed to watch you. I honestly wanted to see how you did it, because I usually do it bad.
Jenna
I did do them better than you normally do.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
I made her get different spatulas because she was using to flip pancakes. You know, the long, stainless steel, hard, thin.
Kalila
A brownie.
Jenna
Brownie for a piece of cake. That's what she was using to flip her pancakes.
Kalila
Nobody cares. Let's move on.
Esther
I feel like that's not a bad choice, though.
Jenna
That's why your pancakes were never coming out, because it was this small.
Kalila
Kalila is on my side.
Jenna
She's not.
Esther
I'm not. It never was. Crazy. You're crazy. I called you a tiger mom.
Kalila
Only over Jenna, though. Not over Ace.
Host/Producer
We have a little trick or treat game for you guys. We have some sluggies. They've submitted some comments and questions. Some are treats. They're, like, nice. Nice in nature, and some are tricks, and they're, like, a little bit vulnerable, maybe snarky a little bit. They're from the YouTube comment section on our videos. Yeah.
Kalila
Lord, thank God. I got a treat.
Host/Producer
You got a treat.
Kalila
Jenna gets only tricks.
Jenna
Yeah. I only want tricks.
Host/Producer
First treat comment for Esther is. You ladies are incredible. Hearing the emotions and tears and the real talk means so much to me. I needed to hear this perspective and to do some personal searching as well. Thank you.
Kalila
That's so nice. But that does feel like it's more.
Esther
For Kalila because I feel like I've been the crier.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
Lately, I've been crying a lot.
Kalila
I'm so bad at. It's. I don't know.
Esther
You're bad at crying.
Jenna
Finish your sentence.
Kalila
It's really hard for me to get real and vulnerable. Like on the podcast. Like. Like, even every time I have been. It's like I have, like, a mask on where I'm like, so this crazy thing happened. And, like, I'm like, I still think.
Jenna
That you're real and honest and genuine. I think there's a difference between that and maybe what you're talking about is like, just being vulnerable.
Esther
Yeah. And I think that it really just has to do. Like, I really. It's been like an issue since I was young. I. I cry really easy. Like, I'm. Do you, Jules?
Jules
Oh, my God.
Kalila
Oh, maybe it's the Lexapro.
Esther
Oh, my sister did say that she has a hard time crying on Lexapro.
Kalila
Yeah, I do too.
Jenna
But I can make you cry.
Kalila
But, like, just to be like. Because truly this is the first time a recording since like a major tragedy happened. Of course I'm laughing. We had a major tragedy in my family. Like, four days ago, my niece and nephew's father passed away, like, in the way that is complicated. Where he lost his mental health battle. And like, it's just been so hard and like, I don't know where Is my mom crying?
Jenna
Yeah.
Kalila
Okay. She's crying for me. But yeah, it's like, that's the way I talk about it is I'm like laughing and I'm not really present in the feelings of it because I just. There's like cameras and lights and I. I don't know. It's really weird. I'm. There's something wrong.
Jenna
No, I think it makes full sense. It's hard with all of this to be present and to be able to like, sit with what you're feeling. It's distracting.
Kalila
Like, maybe I'm like in an escape mode here or something. But yeah, it's like this horrible tragedy. Like now, like these two teenagers who I love more than anything, like. Like, how do I deal with. I have no concept of what it's like to be a teenager and your parent took their own life. I can't. That's a concept. That is so. I don't know, it's just. And I feel so bad for these children. Obviously, I feel bad for, you know, he was my brother in law, at least at a time. My sister and him had divorced, you know, about 10 years ago, but he was still a great father to them and he was a good person. He just was struggling with mental health issues. And what makes it even more complicated is like, I don't know if you guys feel this, but when people sort of like, you've heard people say, like, they threaten it, you know, like, I'm gonna take my own life. And I. I've always in My experience felt like those are the people where. Where they're just, like, playing with you and fucking manipulating you. He had threatened it, and I just had not taken that seriously. And, you know, not that it's whatever. Wasn't my position to step in and do anything, but I'm just so. It's almost like I'm more blindsided or something in a way. Like the fact that he was, like, threatening it, which sounds really stupid and weird.
Esther
No, it makes sense. I think that. Yeah. It's so layered and complicated. You're not wrong. Like, it is an emotionally abusive thing to tell someone if you don't do this. I'm gonna take my own life. Because that's. I've done. I've been in relationships where someone has threatened that. Right.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
And you're like, I still. I cannot be in this. Yeah. And it's. It feels horrible in that moment because you think you're responsible for this person's, like, well, being. Right.
Jenna
But also, like you said, it feels in those moments like they're saying it to threaten it versus as a truth.
Esther
Yeah.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
So now it's like you said, really blindsiding you. And like, wait, this could be a thing where if someone says that, they actually could mean it.
Kalila
And then it also makes me feel like. And I know this sounds really dark, but I'm just like, this is. Suicide is not preventable. I'm like, it just feels like if someone is gonna do it, like, you're don't. Like, good luck. Like, there's no prevention. And I know that's. I shouldn't say that. That's irresponsible to say, but it is just how I feel like after having a couple of these now, like, especially this year. And then the other thing that comes up for me is like, you know, when I was in my postpartum, like, hardcore self hatred, anxiety, through the roof. And like, I went back on my Lexapro and that medication adjustment, it really did nearly cost me my life. Like, I was never going to do that. But it got me so low where I was like, oh, my God. I see. It's when you feel like you're in a burning building and, like, the only way is to jump out. Like, there's no choice. And I just. Having that experience and, like, feeling that little bit of, like, what it must feel like when you make that decision. I just feel so scared and sad and, I don't know, just kind of monologuing. I'm sure my mom is crying hard. I'm sorry. Mom.
Esther
I'm sorry.
Kalila
My mom has been having a really hard time. Obviously she cries a lot, but we make fun of her that she likes to cry. Sorry.
Jenna
Love you, Mar. Mar.
Kalila
Anyways, so that's my treat. Trick or treat.
Jenna
That's all for today. Thank you so much for being.
Esther
That really does suck and I'm so sorry.
Kalila
Yeah, thank you. Thanks for letting me share it in, like, my own way.
Jenna
This feels awkward for me to just. Jenna needs a trick.
Esther
Trick.
Host/Producer
This was related to the Ian episode. The chaos of it. Someone said, oh, man, this is trash.
Jenna
Duh. Did you not read the title?
Host/Producer
I think it might be kind of a compliment maybe as well.
Jenna
Oh, thank you. I mean, anytime someone says that I'm trash, I just think it's. I've been calling myself trash for like 20 years. I like it. I think it's cute.
Esther
She beat you to it.
Jenna
Which. Which Ian episode?
Esther
Last episode.
Host/Producer
One that just came out with the bobbing for oranges.
Esther
I think it did.
Jenna
Oh, yeah, we were. We were fucking nasty.
Esther
I thought it was really wholesome. I thought quite the opposite.
Jenna
Yeah, the amount of water and stuff that was going everywhere felt like nasty.
Esther
I got sick from that orange water, by the way.
Jenna
Oh, no, see, sometimes it's the water.
Esther
You were like, I'm not going in there. I'm gonna get sick. I got sick from it. So there you go. That's the trash.
Jenna
Like, what else? Okay, well, try again next time. Yeah, yeah.
Esther
Treat.
Jenna
Damn if everyone gets a treat except for me.
Host/Producer
Last family episode. You're on, Jwes. Someone commented, I always feel like I'm hanging out with my best girlfriends when I'm watching you guys. Love that vibe.
Esther
Oh, cute.
Jules
That's nice.
Jenna
Sweet.
Esther
She doesn't know how to take compliments.
Jenna
I will say that every single Trash Tuesday fan that I have met is genuinely the kindest, nicest human ever. I was doing a bank atm.
Esther
Can you just roll the tapes real quick? The way you just stared right at her nipples just now.
Host/Producer
Well, they're showing.
Esther
While she was talking about how great our fans are.
Kalila
They're showing.
Jenna
What do you mean, the showing?
Esther
Rewind on her eyes. Like searing holes through Jenna's tits.
Jenna
What do you mean they're showing?
Kalila
They're showing.
Guest or occasional speaker
What do you mean?
Esther
What?
Kalila
I mean you're wearing a tight, light colored top with no bra. They're showing.
Jules
It's nice.
Kalila
There's nothing wrong with it. Kalilah's the one making it something bad.
Jenna
You can't see them.
Esther
Esther, let me know if I'm the one Making it something bad. Please rewind.
Guest or occasional speaker
Esther's the one making a thing bad.
Jenna
Please blur that.
Esther
No, I can't.
Jenna
And then zoom in on Esther's eyes. Anyway.
Kalila
Oh, my God.
Jenna
Can you focus? My face is up here. I'm speaking up here. She can't look at me because she can't handle it. So I was doing a bank withdrawal at an ATM at this bank.
Kalila
Obviously, she's, like, nervous because her crush is here.
Jenna
Your mom.
Guest or occasional speaker
And so I thought that someone was.
Jenna
Like, approaching me, and I got, like. I got, like, a little. Because she approached me in, like, a. A standoffish type of way without saying anything, and I just go like, oh, that one doesn't work. You can use this one. She goes, are you Jenna? I'm thinking, like, does she just see my bank statement? She's like, I'm such a fan of Trash Tuesday. You guys, honestly are the best. And I'm Filipina, and I just want to say that I love you guys so much, and it makes me feel like I'm at home and, like, I'm hanging out with my friends. And then she was like, thank you, and then left and went back into the bank.
Kalila
That's sweet.
Jenna
So, so sweet. Like, two times a week, I feel like I encounter someone who just wants to say how grateful that they are for this podcast and then just like, let me be on my way.
Esther
That's so sweet.
Kalila
Oh, I forgot there was a girl at my Portland show that wants to date you. Pretty. Yeah.
Jules
Do you have her info?
Kalila
I can find her. TikTok.
Jules
Send it to me.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
All right.
Kalila
I promise. I would tell you I chose Trish.
Jenna
Thank God.
Esther
God, it's getting a little too sweet.
Host/Producer
Not to piss off Kalila, but I think shoulder length hair really suits Jules.
Jules
No, it doesn't.
Kalila
We didn't try shoulder.
Jenna
No, no, no. It's got to be above the shoulder or below the shoulder.
Jules
Shoulder length is above and shoulder.
Esther
No.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
You're sabotaging my sweet niece. How dare you?
Jules
No, we've tried. I always just have, like, a mental breakdown, and I just want to cut my hair, and every time I do it, it's just. Was a bad decision.
Jenna
Well, what if you do even shorter?
Esther
She's gone very short. She's gone to here, right?
Jenna
Yeah.
Jules
Helped me cut it, like, straight because it was just.
Esther
Yeah, because she just went blindly in the dark and just took scissors like this.
Jenna
I'll cut your hair. I'll do a good job. Do you think I could? I would love to use your hair to do, like, hair plugs.
Jules
I can give you some.
Kalila
Is that how hair plugs work?
Jenna
They take, like, from the back of your hair? Why do you.
Esther
Why would you do it?
Jenna
What? Because I'm so thin up here now.
Esther
Oh, I thought you meant you were gonna do it to Jules.
Jenna
No, no, I want to take some of her hair and put it.
Kalila
You do not need it.
Esther
I think you need your own hair so that you don't reject because you could possibly reject hers.
Jenna
Damn.
Esther
We'll go to Turkey. I'll go with you.
Kalila
Are you gonna get it too?
Esther
This is gonna sound really obnoxious, and I don't mean to flex. I didn't think this could happen, but since I removed all silicones and petrochemicals from, like, my hair care, my everyday. My hair came back with a fury. And when I was pregnant, I had so much hair. And even with postpartum hair loss loss, I still have a lot of hair. And I am shocked.
Jenna
That's amazing.
Esther
I never thought that because I was like, oh, I'm just getting older. My hair is thinning, and it's just gonna be this way. And it turns out, like, silicone was blocking any nourishment from really, like, entering my roots and evolution club. Ev. I've been using it for years. And I'm saying this not as, like, a marketing thing for my own.
Jenna
No, because you were paranoid about your hair.
Esther
Me up and I look back now at my hair before my hair now, and I'm like, oh, like, this is it. This was the missing thing. I was putting nasty shit in my hair.
Jenna
Go to eboceanclub.com if you also want your hair back.
Kalila
Wait, I want to get unnecessary hair transplants, but where you don't need it. Like, no, like, instead of getting, like, extensions or like, yeah, maybe just get the surgeries.
Esther
But you have incredible hair.
Kalila
Yeah, but I could do better.
Jenna
Like, my hair used to be so thick that I. I had those shears that were like that that I would thin my hair on my own up until I was, like, 29. And then my hair up here for my hormones just started thinning, thinning, thinning, thinning.
Jules
You can do it on your eyebrows, right?
Esther
Yeah, I think Chrissy Teigen did on her eyebrows. But then it doesn't grow as eyebrow hair. It grows as if you get it from your pubes. You will get pubes up here, and you have to keep cutting your eyebrows.
Kalila
Ew.
Esther
Damn.
Jenna
Wait, that's like our friend who got the. The. That, like, skin graft from her pubic.
Esther
Nobody believes me when I tell that story.
Jenna
And now she grows like cubes on her hand. This one little area in her hand.
Esther
Thank you for confirming that it's real.
Kalila
You should get one on your chin.
Jenna
So I can have little goatee. I probably already.
Kalila
That would fit your personality.
Jenna
Thank you. I think a mustache, like, a really good mustache that would look so good on you. Like, yo, what's up?
Esther
I'm Juan. I don't need help with that.
Jenna
I have a mustache, but not like a grown grown one. Where I could like.
Kalila
It would look so right on you to have a mustache.
Jenna
I would look hot.
Esther
Can you pull up cantin floss here, Jenna, what do you think? Look at canteen floss. Just a little side right here. Like right here.
Jenna
I'm into it.
Kalila
That would go so well.
Jenna
It's like the opposite of Hitler, so I like it.
Esther
She said that would go well with your nipples.
Jenna
She said, thank you, Esther. Take your pick.
Kalila
I'm going to just pick trick.
Esther
Everyone picks trick.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
I pick one treat, maybe. No.
Jules
No.
Kalila
Okay.
Esther
No, thanks.
Host/Producer
Someone said, I'm gonna be a hater and say, esther, that Prada bag is ugly. If you have money for Prada, get a cute one.
Kalila
I don't understand this. I. I disagree.
Jenna
What's your Prada bag?
Kalila
This bag is a classic mom bag. I'm gonna have this for the rest of my days. It goes. Let me tell you something. Gen Z, you got.
Esther
I was.
Kalila
I was your age once, and I fired up guys. She's fire mini bag, right? And then, guess what? You're out. You're about. It slides down or you're having to hold it. I get it looks cute. I know it's a vibe. It's a moment, but that's it.
Jenna
It's only good for a moment.
Esther
That's functional.
Kalila
You're gonna want function. You're gonna want hands free. Okay, you know what? And this is classy.
Esther
This is.
Kalila
I bought it at the airport in Rome. Okay. You can't fight me.
Esther
And also, it's a perfect. It's kind of like city mouse like you. You can fit diaper, some wipes, everything you need for your baby.
Kalila
I know it's not in style to wear crossbody, but that will come back.
Jenna
At some point between I hate purses. And when they said that you had a Prada bag, I was like, ew. And then I realized it's that one. That one is a. Yes. It looks like a Kipling bag. It's amazing.
Kalila
And I have the mini Prada bag, but it's too annoying to use any.
Jenna
Bag that you have to hold like this or like this is, is, is a no.
Kalila
Jules, you've been quiet over there. What do you think?
Jules
I'm still getting used to the cross body.
Kalila
I, I. You don't like. I can't. Yeah, the Gen Z's don't like it.
Jenna
I guess it still hold it like this.
Jules
Yeah, I don't mind it.
Kalila
In my teen years, we did that too with the coach bags. And I just, it's then my shoulders like this, and it hurts.
Jenna
And also if it's a little handle. No, like, what are you doing there? Are you having Cute.
Esther
That's what I imagine is the little handle. It's just not functional.
Jenna
Oh, no, I'm talking about like, like a big.
Esther
Oh, that one's fine. Yeah.
Kalila
I just know that you guys feel that way, and I don't feel that way, Okay? I want my hands free. I want to be out in the world. I, I don't. You know what if I'm walking and I want to eat a slice of pizza while I'm walking and it has.
Jenna
A zipper, like, that's a bag versus, like, a little purse where it's, like.
Kalila
When you defend it, it makes me feel like it's not good.
Jenna
I mean, I don't like it, and I would never get it for myself. But I'm trying to have your back, witch.
Kalila
I just think you can't go wrong with a little black bag.
Jenna
I mean, I don't like it, and I would never have it for myself again. Okay, good.
Kalila
But it's a shame. It would look good on you.
Esther
Tricked for Jenna.
Jenna
I guess I'll get another trick everyone's getting.
Kalila
It's an all tricks round.
Jenna
Three, six, Monica, three six Mafia.
Host/Producer
With the utmost peace and love. I've always thought Jenna's usual hair gives. Lord Farqua.
Kalila
Hold the picture. Yeah, now I can't unsee it.
Guest or occasional speaker
I don't even have anything to say because it's like, listen, you're not wrong, but it sucks and it's sad, and you can't say that with the utmost peace and love. If it was with the utmost peace and love, you wouldn't have said it.
Kalila
And you know what?
Guest or occasional speaker
With the least utmost peace and love.
Jenna
I just want to tell you you're not wrong. Where am I looking? You're not wrong. Okay, okay. But I was just talking about how I wanted a hair transplant because I'm lacking in hair up here and have hair over here because of my hormones. And that is why I look like Lord McFar Kuhar.
Kalila
It's like, really?
Jenna
That sucks.
Kalila
Doesn't he wear a hat like that? That sucks.
Jenna
But that's okay that you think that because it's true.
Kalila
Taking it like a champ.
Jules
I'll do a trick.
Jenna
Yeah, I'll cry when I leave.
Host/Producer
Believe this one is actually a question. If you could pick one person, who would you hex? If you could?
Jenna
And hex, Come on, girl. There's. Yeah, it's very easy.
Esther
She's gonna go with Zoe Kravitz because she's dating Harry Styles.
Jules
No, I was gonna go to 30.
Esther
All right, decent choice.
Jules
The ex president in the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte.
Esther
Yeah, a lot of like very unjust killings.
Jenna
That's a great choice of his own. People people consider him hexed.
Jules
Or Zoe Kravitz.
Jenna
Zoe Kravitz is dating Harry Styles.
Esther
I know. He likes older women.
Jules
I don't understand.
Jenna
Oh my God, Kravitz is like so young.
Jules
No, but Harry's 29.
Esther
He's only 29. He's already lost all his hair.
Jules
Yeah, he's bald, but it's okay.
Esther
He got an fue in Turkey.
Jenna
Wait, wasn't Zoe Kravitz just dating Channing?
Esther
Yeah, yeah, now she's with Harry.
Jules
I know, I'm so sad. But at least he's like dating brown girls, you know?
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
Give me my dagger.
Host/Producer
He's always crack me up because everyone misspells your name. Since when? Kila is mom. Explain it to me.
Esther
Since when? Oh, I spelled it K, O, L. Kila is mine. Yeah, I'm not going to explain to.
Jenna
This ding dong since when? It's like, just watch. Since when you spell her name right. Right. Someone explain to me, please.
Kalila
Well, when a man and a woman.
Esther
Yeah, Esther, can you explain how babies.
Kalila
Are made when they're in love?
Jenna
Is this how you're gonna explain it to Ace?
Kalila
They're only gonna do what my parents did and let the teachers explain it.
Jenna
When they're in love.
Kalila
They didn't explain anything to me.
Host/Producer
This one might be a little backhanded. You know I like about this pod is that you have four women. Not one of them is ever all dolled up. No glam girls, no makeup, just natural beauty. It's rather refreshing. I can't think of another pod before women. Barefaced beauty.
Kalila
I literally am.
Guest or occasional speaker
You know what, that's funny. I'm backhanded as.
Kalila
Oh my God, I'm wearing all my best makeup right now.
Esther
Me too.
Guest or occasional speaker
I literally was in here. I feel like, this is a fucking powder.
Esther
Are you kidding me?
Guest or occasional speaker
I tried. It gets for us.
Esther
This isn't bare faced, baby.
Kalila
I try so hard. No, but we're b. We dress like shit and we don't do, like, glam.
Jenna
We're not having someone do our makeup. We're not, like, really doing it up. We're doing, like, natural day makeup.
Esther
That is true. But this is. I mean, let's be real. Like, there was effort involved for me every day, and it doesn't seem like it.
Kalila
You do have makeup on today every time.
Esther
No, I mean, not a lot, but I do put a blush and I do put a little bit of eyeliner. I don't have a lip color today day.
Jenna
Neither do I. I don't think lip.
Kalila
Color looks good on anyone.
Jenna
Okay.
Esther
I swear.
Jenna
That's sweet.
Esther
Anyone? Anyone? Just like, you just want to be pale and crusty.
Kalila
It's not pale. It's the color of your lips. That's what.
Esther
But look at the color of my natural color of my lips. They're looking at pale.
Jenna
No, you have very good color. Mine is two toned. I have a different color.
Jules
Oh, yours is too dark.
Esther
No, it's not. No. Are you kidding me? You should give in to the haters.
Jenna
You're so stupid. Jewelry. If you want to do a hex on Duterte. If you want to do a hex on him, do a fucking hex on yourself, okay? Because you're being racist toward yourself right now.
Kalila
I'm just saying it's dark.
Jenna
You said. No, you do, because you said mine is too dark.
Esther
I have a bone to pick with people on the Internet as it pertains to my lips, by the way. Like, Bobby did this thing on tiger belly where I showed up to one of the episodes. He's like, why are your lips so big? And ever since, since then, people are like, you're so grotesquely blown up. All the fillers you get on your lips. I always had big lips, though.
Jenna
And your cheeks are just naturally like, I'm so sorry.
Esther
And this is like a constant thing I'm getting because Bobby said your lips are so big. So now they believe that I've gotten. When do I have the time with a half paralyzed face?
Jenna
You couldn't get a new baby paralyzed face.
Esther
So you guys, for thinking I'm doing anything to my my face, I would if I could, but not right now.
Jenna
What if I could, but I can't, so I won't. Someone also the same person who wrote to you?
Esther
Oh, yeah, he did say the same to you about your lips.
Jenna
Same thing about my lips and my face. And then I'm getting a bunch of stuff done. And really, I would just like to say thank you. You know, I love when people think maybe someday.
Kalila
All right.
Esther
Grotesque. My lips are not grotesque.
Kalila
From the grotesque girls of your dreams. We thank you for this, for being here, for our witchiness, and we love you guys. And we'll see you next week with a brand new episode. And now we're going to the Patreon.
Episode: "Hexed by RUDY JULES"
Date: October 14, 2025
This episode of Trash Tuesday delivers a classic witches’ coven vibe for spooky season, as hosts Esther Povitsky and Khalyla Kuhn are joined by their inner circle—Jenna, Jules, and various family members in attendance. With topics dancing from color preferences and personal quirks to deep explorations of motherhood, vulnerability, and mental health, the group offers raw personal anecdotes, blunt opinions, and plenty of signature self-deprecating humor.
A special segment revisits "Lana Del Rey marriage trends," the dynamics of being universally vs. geographically attracted to romantic partners, and a lively trick-or-treat commentary round sourced from their YouTube audience. Underneath the laughter and chaos, they deeply address recent personal tragedy, issues of boundaries, and what it means to support one another—making for an episode that zigzags between playful banter and poignant vulnerability.
The hosts and guests banter about personal color preferences and how it influences their wardrobes or moods.
"Because it doesn’t make me happy when I look down at it." (02:50 – Jenna)
Discussion transitions to clothing choices for auditions, self-expression, and how personal psychology is reflected in style.
"I can’t imagine it being good for your pelvic floor to crunch everything immediately and push everything down." (05:23 – Esther)
"Binging always leads to restriction, and restriction always leads to binging, and it will never, ever stop." (07:06 – Jenna)
"There are no bad food." (07:43 – Kalila)
"I think I just care more about what people see. But then, if it’s just my own space ... I don’t care." (14:24 – Jules)
"When you see a man out of his element, it is frightening." (16:23 – Kalila)
"We had a major tragedy in my family ... my niece and nephew’s father passed away ... he lost his mental health battle." (45:00 – Kalila)
"We’re not having someone do our makeup. We’re not really doing it up. We're doing natural day makeup." (62:40 – Jenna)
On ‘Geographically Hot’ Partners:
“I once dated this guy...I took him out of his place of power... I lost all attraction almost immediately.”
(16:06 – Esther)
On Family Critique & Social Media:
“My mom has ruined my confidence this week. She told me that I have a rash on my face, I need to see a dermatologist.”
(07:50 – Kalila)
On Tragic Loss:
“This is the first time recording since a major tragedy happened... my niece and nephew’s father passed away... he lost his mental health battle.”
(45:00 – Kalila)
On Accepting Herself:
“Anytime someone says I’m trash, I’ve been calling myself trash for like 20 years. I like it. I think it’s cute.”
(44:41 – Jenna)
On Boundaries and Oversharing Locations:
“The way that Esther checks it and wonders and is mapping to me or asking, ‘Oh, I see you’re here. What do...’ No, you lost it.”
(36:06 – Jenna)
The episode stays loyal to Trash Tuesday’s blend of irreverence, dark humor, and heartfelt honesty. Much time is spent roasting each other's quirks and aesthetics, delivering vulnerable confessions, and picking apart societal norms and family dynamics. The group’s chemistry is evident as they dart between belly laughs and tearful admissions—showing that even in “trash,” there’s space for tenderness.
This installment will especially resonate with listeners who relate to messy family ties, complex romantic attractions, postpartum anxiety, and the ever-present struggle to both survive and laugh at the absurdities of womanhood today.
For those who missed the episode: Expect warmth, chaos, solidarity—and no shortage of hexes, hair talk, and honest tears, all served with a wink.
