EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode centers on Galentine’s Day shenanigans, beauty standards and self-acceptance, playful (yet serious) debates about the audio vs. video podcast experience, life advice, and the importance of community and kindness. As always, Syd and TP’s conversation flows unpredictably, unexpectedly veering from salon horror stories to reflections on government corruption—all in their uniquely hilarious, real talk style.

---

1. Galentine’s Day: Nails, Sushi, and Friendship

(Starts ~00:23, returns at 10:29, 33:30, and 34:07)

• Self-Care & Beauty Standards

  • Syd and TP detail their girls’ self-care day—involving hot pink nails, eyebrow waxing, and a spirited conversation about being pressured for extra salon services.
  • Quote (on being offered a lip wax unsolicited):
    A: “If you're not ready to get your lip wax or you're not a lip waxer, that question does like break you down in a sense.” [02:22]
  • The pair challenge archaic beauty standards, extolling confidence—“I'm just going to sit here in front of you today being confident in my little blonde mustache.” [03:38]
  • Empathy is extended to all women, including trans women.
    B: “This is to all my women out there. I'm including trans women. I know that upsets so many of you, but if that feel they are, why are you so bothered? Anyway, it's for you.” [05:39]

• Simulation Theory… and Protein

  • Joking that life is a simulation (timing of crowds at the salon), they hilariously pivot into a protein shake ad.
  • The manicures lead to a celebratory sushi outing, where TP marvels at Syd’s picky eating and slow but steady culinary growth.

• Friendship Dynamics & Food Adventures

  • TP describes the challenge and reward of encouraging Syd to expand her foodie palate, advising listeners to go slow when trying to influence friends.
  • Quote:
    A: “Sydney's the type of person that you can't go 1 to 10. You have to go from, like, 1 to 3, 4 if you're super confident in it. But you certainly can't skip more than, like, three steps at a time.” [18:43]

---

2. Mini Golf, Competition, and Playful Envy

(Putt Putt Segment ~23:31 - 28:13)

• Kia Nurse organizes an elaborate mini golf night; Syd and TP discuss competitiveness within their group, with nods to biracial athletic supremacy ("How the Kias win? Just too competitive... they're tapping into all elements of all races" [25:39]).
• Syd reflects on a moment of jealousy after being “robbed” of a hole in one, stressing emotional intelligence and not letting envy ruin friendships.
  • Quote:
    B: “Envy or jealousy, those are not things that you're, like, incapable of feeling. Even if you're a good person, you can feel jealous in a moment. ...It's how you move after that that will make me label you a complete utter weirdo.” [27:48]
  • They lampoon the tendency to hold petty grudges and stress the importance of self-awareness.

---

3. The Great Audio vs. Video Listener Debate

(Recurring theme: 22:18, 55:41–62:46)

• Syd and TP rib "Audio" listeners, accusing them—in jest—of missing out on a “second dimension” (the visual jokes and faces).

  • Quote:
    A: “Your best self will be watching us on video... when y'all don't do that, I'm like, here they go again, cutting corners. Slacking. Silly audio. But I know I'm hard on y'all, but it's tough love.” [22:39]

• Multiple DMs are read defending audio-only fans:

  • Darius: “Please accept this DM as a move to stop the hate on the audio listeners... However, this doesn't make me a second class babysitter. #stopaudioListenerhate” [60:59]
  • Ashley J: “Put some respect on the audio listeners’ name! ...Keep me in my happy pants on my runs. Thank you for all the laughs.” [62:01]

• The hosts promise to keep the running joke alive, but express genuine appreciation for listeners in all formats.

---

4. Galentine’s Wine Tasting & Music Bingo

(33:30, 34:07–36:45)

• The episode recaps a lively Galentine's wine tasting event:
  • Syd notes it was her first formal tasting; TP appreciates when wine actually tastes sweet.
  • They reminisce about “song bingo”—a playlist-based bingo game with 90s/2000s R&B and love songs, leading to personal music revelations.
  • Reflections on how music and scent can trigger intense nostalgia and emotion.
    • Syd relates a moving story: catching a scent that evoked her late grandmother, “Mama Marion,” while driving—not in the inherited Town Car, but in her own vehicle. This segues into a brief meditation on spirits and the mysteries of memory.
      • Quote:
        A: “If we believe in WiFi, like, raise your hand if you touched it. Not me. Like, if you can believe in WiFi, then you can believe that there’s other elements.” [39:28]

---

5. Celebrating Women’s Sports

(41:16–42:58)

• Featuring a “Together Women Win” segment in partnership with FP Movement, Syd and TP discuss the importance of representation and support in women’s sports.
• Notable Quotes:
  • A: “Now little girls, when they're asked, like, hey, who's your favorite player? You don't have to name a male player. You can name someone who looks like you.” [41:48]
  • B: “The visibility has gone a long way so far. ...when our athletes are winning and what they fight for... that's a win for everybody.” [42:11]

---

6. Culture, Government, and Distraction

(42:58–53:22)

• The conversation abruptly shifts to recent news: Cardi B’s Twitter beef with Homeland Security, government corruption, and the lingering shadow of the Epstein files.

  • TP and Syd roast government agencies for weird social media behavior and dereliction of real duties.
  • Quote:
    A: “Homeland, I'd like to direct your attention to the Epstein files, because we need to turn those files into trials. Like, I'm sick of talking about it.” [45:11]
  • They discuss the distractions and despair of modern society—people being too overwhelmed or numbed by material comforts and digital life to take meaningful action against injustice.

• On moral courage and community:

  • Quote:
    B: “If everybody gets on the same page of what is moral and what you should not be okay with, then there would not be the ability for these people to run amok the way that they do.” [52:04]
  • A: “You don't have to be anybody else. ...Stay true to who you are, and that will center you, that will draw you to your purpose faster, and that will help you not be blindsided...” [53:22]

---

7. Listeners’ Impact: Down in the DMs

(55:41–62:46)

• Syd and TP read heartfelt DMs, including an emotional message from Hendricks, a live show attendee whose wife—introduced to the WNBA and Syd & TP through their show—passed away recently.

  • Quote:
    B (reading): “Your podcast is one of the few things that brings a smile to my face as of late. ...And to get to unexpectedly share that embarrassing meat growth story was like getting to bring my wife along with me.” [56:53]
  • Both hosts are visibly moved, emphasizing the power of small kindnesses, community, and opening your heart to connection.

• They also read funny DMs from audio listeners, continuing the episode’s running joke and engagement with their fan base.

---

8. Closing Thoughts & Takeaways

• The episode winds down with the signature message:
  • A: “As always, remember to throw kindness around like confetti. We love y'all. See y'all next week.” [63:22]

---

[A]

Oh wait, did you guys notice?

[B]

Oh, what? What a girl.

[A]

Yeah. Hot pink is a choice. I made that choice though.

[B]

I got hearts on mine.

[A]

That's zoom in post. Oh, I'm a zoom in so.

[B]

Oh, one of my things came. No. Yeah,

[A]

no,

[B]

you can't be that passionate about my nail. You can't.

[A]

Also it comes out as a complete shock. I have no idea your nail was even remotely use this on the pod. Have to use this. But I'm zooming in on your nails.

[B]

Oh, you're going to be like getting this angle while watching from this other angle.

[A]

Yeah. This is crazy. We're about to blow our viewers minds right now.

[B]

Sorry, audio me blow your mind.

[A]

That was so cute. I got it.

[B]

Yeah. So we had a girls day or what? Oh wait, should we go to the theme song?

[A]

Yeah, cuz we don't want to get too far into it before we bring out Tierra on.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yes, yes, yes we say what we want and yeah we say what we feel Sitting tmp of the mix and they be keeping it real on brand, off topic, out of pocket anything you need they got it why don't you shout? We know they gonna block up when it's game time and you know I'm gonna block it. We cover everything like whoa, who harder than us? And yeah we looking down on haters cause they smaller than us and yeah my flow is so damn sick I be coughing it up. You said that we gone flat. Well then I'm calling your blood.

[B]

All right. Yeah. So big bros, huge week.

[A]

So much to talk to you guys about. Can't wait to talk like a little girl. Like we can continue. Girls, catch up.

[B]

Valentine's got our nails done. Obviously we were showing those off. Yeah, we also. Oh, you got your eyebrows waxed.

[A]

I got my eyebrows waxed and he did ask me if I did want to get my lip done and I declined as I do every time.

[B]

No, no, no, for sure. How does it feel when they, when they insist on asking, how does it

[A]

feel for you guys? Like, because I know we all get asked that whether you get your lip wax or not. If you're not ready to get your lip wax or you're not a lip waxer, that question, right, does like break you down in a sense. That's like you don't know if you should be confident in the way that your image, you're presenting to the world. This lady above you said it was a man.

[B]

Even I should. But like, if I didn't tell you when I sat down in the chair and you knew you were doing my eyebrows, threaten them if I didn't say mustache. You must not need to do that.

[A]

There's no more add ons.

[B]

There's no more add ons. If I walk out of there and I forgot to get my mustache, that's on me.

[A]

That's on me.

[B]

But you asking me twice, too rude. And now I gotta leave a review, which I believe.

[A]

Don't ask me that.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I didn't just forget about my lip. The same way that my eyebrows are on my face, my lips are also on my face. And I can. I'll know going into if my lip needs to be waxed, which I'm 33 1/4 of the way into life. And I have not needed that yet. And by needed that, I mean I simply just don't want it. I have, like, very light.

[B]

So you just changed the meaning of need.

[A]

I mean, maybe I do need it. I don't know. But beauty's in the eye of the beholder. And I'm just going to sit here in front of you today being confident in my little blonde mustache.

[B]

I know that's right. Mine is not blonde. Mine is black. I'll get a little mustard. Look like I'm starting, like I'm taking tea.

[A]

You start sprouting a little bit, like, wow, good for you.

[B]

Oh, what do you mean, oh?

[A]

My bad. That's like asking somebody, like, congratulating them. Yeah. On their baby.

[B]

Oh, congratulating on the baby. That's.

[A]

Yeah. They're like, what? I'm child? I'm without child. Yeah. So again, just a little mix up at the right.

[B]

A little mix up. But I also want to get into that because women, if you want a little mustache, people shouldn't have to feel pressured by the lady standing above them or people just out and about. Like, if you want that little mustache or this something that just grows back, you know, like darker for you or just like thicker hair, you should be able to sport that. We got to start rejecting some beauty standards. That might not be everybody's. It's not necessarily.

[A]

Everybody can do it.

[B]

It's not mine either. But people shouldn't be stared at for it. We grow hair. What about it? What of it?

[A]

A bearded lady used to be like a thing. Like people used to go to the circus. I'm like, now bringing it. This is why it's an insult. Yeah, because you used to have to go to the circus to see bearded women, which was so crazy. Very crazy. I'm just like, let them walk on earth. Like, it's fine. But also, like, if I do want to have a little mustache, like, I

[B]

have a hair right here. I needed to tweeze.

[A]

No, I have, like, constant hairs that, like, pop up on me. Let's do a time lapse on this. I want to see how long it takes to get these scissors.

[B]

Women.

[A]

This is for you, audio. Sorry, this isn't for you, Audio.

[B]

Never for y'. All. You know, I'm on your ass constantly. If you're not getting this moment with video, that's on you.

[A]

We do love.

[B]

This is to all my women out there. I'm including trans women. I know that upsets so many of you, but if that feel they are, why are you so bothered? Anyway, it's for you.

[A]

I think that is also a part of aging. Whenever you. That one seemed deep.

[B]

You saw the little tug at the.

[A]

At the surface when the one, the poor, like, almost pops out with it. You're like, dang, that was.

[B]

It pulled on my epidermis.

[A]

It did not want to leave you.

[B]

No, it didn't.

[A]

But all right. Save that for later. Make a wish. Like, it's an eyelash, yo. She plucked a chin hair and then tried to blow it like it was a wish.

[B]

I gotta get this wish off, man. I got stuff I've been need to wish also.

[A]

All right, so next time you pluck your. Your mole hairs, your chin hairs, just like those unwanted hairs, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you guys have them, too. Whether that's chest hair, like upper neck, upper, like, upper nape neck hair. That seems like a really tough hair to have. Also behind the top of the shoulder hair seems tough. Like, I don't know if there's a way to, like, really spice that up and make that sexy.

[B]

Just braided braid. I haven't seen nobody really try to cornrow it yet. Do something different with it on the table. It's going to be there. Get you a little twist in. Like, you know, just roll it along. Get some gel, Roll it along.

[A]

Hey, fellas, if you're looking for some originality in 2026, braided chest hair has not been done yet. I have yet to see it. Also send a picture if you do do that. I would like to see it.

[B]

Yeah, we'll rate that as well. Nice where were we even?

[A]

We were talking about girls day. I don't know how we got to that.

[B]

Oh, yeah, we're talking about you getting your eyebrows.

[A]

I will say that the chair that I was in, I was, like, super comfortable. I forgot that I was waiting for 12 minutes before they not trying to

[B]

add that in there. Yeah.

[A]

Like, it wasn't a quick thing. Like, I got my nails done. They were like, you said you wanted your eyebrows. I was like, yeah. I went in there. I was laying on this, like, lazy boy chair. I was like, whoa, how relaxing. Then, you know, he did ask me like, hey, just your eyebrows, or you want that lip done, too? And I'm like, yeah, no, leave the lip. It's just gonna be the brows today. But it was about 12 minutes before he came back into the room.

[B]

They had more people coming. They got busier.

[A]

They got real busy, you know?

[B]

You know, people will say sometimes, like, this is all a simulation. And other people, it's like whenever you go into a place and it's empty, and then you. You know when you're leaving, you're like, wait, good thing we got here when we did. So many people just showed up. We got to start testing that in different places.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

To see.

[A]

So that was our first.

[B]

That was our first test. And so far, this is a simulation.

[A]

Scary. Hey, Sid, you know what brings me joy? Having my protein ready and available in the form of premier protein drinks. They are ready to go. Absolutely excellent. And the taste, top tier. And I've had a lot of protein shakes in my life.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, Sid, I know you've been in the situations where you've just been in the hustle and bustle, and your whole day just becomes one big blur. Before you know it, you realize you didn't eat breakfast, you need lunch, you're just going.

[B]

That's so many days for me.

[A]

That's every day for me. Besides Sundays, I do take time to watch the saints. Other than that, I'm on the go constantly. When I'm walking my dogs, nothing easier than to grab a protein drink from Premier Protein. I'm walking, drinking, walking my dogs. But it's so easy and convenient. And you don't have to. You don't have to remember, you can just pack your thing in the morning and it's there all day. And you'll thank yourself later in the day for having that ready and available for you.

[B]

Yeah, for mine, I'm just always, like, going from thing to thing. Like, I'm going from rehab to maybe, like, a conversation with Our sports psychologist to another meeting. To something else. And then like you said, a couple hours later, I'm like, oh, I haven't eaten. Especially after a workout, which is the worst. But having these shakes with me, having premier protein shakes with me, chocolate specifically, has been a huge difference. Because with 30 grams of protein and tons of delicious flavors, premier protein isn't just for those who get after fitness. It's for those who get after life. Tp and you already knew that.

[A]

But, Sid, there's no better way to get 30 grams of protein in a single drink. 30 grams of protein is equivalent to eating five large eggs.

[B]

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, thank you for that tidbit.

[A]

Anyway, moving forward with. With girls day, we then took our brand new, freshly done manicures.

[B]

Yeah, we did.

[A]

To sushi.

[B]

Yeah, we did.

[A]

It was a really great time. It was in this like, cute little, like, shopping center that had, like, all these different things. A little thrift shop in there. Yeah, on Broadway. Really cool little outdoor place.

[B]

Broadway. The. The McDonald's monopoly used to piss me off. When you're waiting for Broadway and Park Place, you remember that I would never be able to get both of them.

[A]

Both of them. They overproduce one and they under produce the other.

[B]

Yeah. There's no way I've been here. We've been here so many times for breakfast that I know for certain. I should have got one peeling off the sausage biscuit or the hash browns. The cut, like the drink. I'm not getting this any day.

[A]

Did you participate the last time he came out?

[B]

No, this was like years ago.

[A]

Okay. It did come back around. So maybe next year. I don't know. Because they were like, I swear, it's not a scam this time.

[B]

This time is crazy.

[A]

Yeah. They were like, no, there's gonna be real winners. I don't know. You could actively, I guess, like, keep up with it on the app. Yeah, but whatever.

[B]

What were you saying, though?

[A]

No, just about sushi.

[B]

Yeah, I was on.

[A]

So I do like to, you know, have a little backstory before we get into the sushi discussion. Because my friend sit here and I'm going to give her. This is Sid. Everyone say, hey, Sid. Hey, Sid.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

Hey. So Sid used to be a very picky eater. When I first discovered who Sid was, I was like, oh, no. This is about to be a major problem in our friendship because I'm very adventurous with food.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And Sydney's not. That's just quite simply put, like, you're just not. And not only Are you not? You stick to what you love, which I do appreciate about you.

[B]

Yeah. I love what I make or what my mom makes for my sister.

[A]

And if you go to the restaurant, you'll, like, go back to that one menu item. One menu item 100 out of 100 times.

[B]

I hear we cook better than a lot of restaurants.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

So I want my own food. That's why I'm not really able to eat food out in public. It got. It's got to be, like, a really nice place because for the most part, they're just serving us like, it tastes like microwave dinners sometimes, or, like, frozen. They just thaw something out and put it in the oven and gave it to us. This isn't like. These restaurants are not cooking with love. You're not feeling hated my food?

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah. No. No.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yes. When's the last time you went to a restaurant you were just like, oh, my God. Or do you more frequently feel like.

[A]

No, I get that from home cook. Yeah. I get that more so from home cooked meals.

[B]

Yeah. So that's why I just am really picky outside the home.

[A]

Actually, what irritates me is if I make a really good meal, I'd be like, I would have paid. And, like, the range does. The range does have a, like, a variety.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

To it. Sometimes I'll eat something, I'll be like, man, I would have paid, like, 28 bucks for this. At a restaurant, if it's like, a really good salmon dish, I mean, I'm like, I could see this going, like, not only for, like, going rate, but, like, I could upcharge this a little bit.

[B]

I'm willing to do some things. Yeah.

[A]

Like, I'm just, like, sad I didn't save that for my menu. Whenever, like, the sitting TV restaurant comes out. Stay tuned, y'. All. Also let us know what you would want to see on that menu.

[B]

Just start making businesses like that. All right, I'm thinking about. Stay tuned, y'. All. We think about having the CNTP hospital, so just tell us what you would like in there or, like, what you don't necessarily like.

[A]

You can't just right next to our CP car wash. Like, we're just, hey,

[B]

look, this is the compound. This is how we get our Coke.

[A]

Anyway, back to sushi. So Sid doesn't, like, venture out. Sid ordered a sushi roll.

[B]

We needed. We need the social handles to be the coat or, like, the official cult.

[A]

Colt and Company, like, make it like Tiffany Co. But Colton Company. We're, like, trying to make it cute. There's no way. I would never join. I would never join cold period. But, like, if that cult was like that, not only are you making a cult, but you took a beat off of Tiffany and Company. I definitely don't know if I can trust you at all. I don't know what y' all are promising me in there, but every cult

[B]

begins to see they just ripping off everybody's shit. They being us

[A]

anyway. That's in the future.

[B]

Yeah, but either the cult or the official culture, because I just don't want nobody else to be able to say they did it first. So we now know.

[A]

No, there's been a ton of Colts,

[B]

but they didn't name it the cult. What's their Instagram handle? You know what I'm saying? What's their social handles?

[A]

How do we get in touch with them?

[B]

They don't. I'm saying I'm gonna look up the code later. I'm gonna do. Now. You can keep going.

[A]

All right. Yeah. No, so I was just saying that, like, Sydney, she doesn't venture out. And so we went to happy hour. We hit happy hour, which is good for Sid to be able to try things. I order raw sushi. Yeah, I do. I have exquisite taste and I do love raw fish. With that being said, Sydney does not, but she did order a roll, and I was really impressed that she ate the roll, because when the roll came out, she was like, wait, there's shrimp ingrained in this? No, you said embedded in this.

[B]

Because I thought it was going to be like a. I didn't seem to do the, like, big shrimp on top or some shit, or like, part of it on top.

[A]

I'll just be like, you got to cook. You got a. You got a tempura shrimp roll. So that little fried shrimp was. Yes. Embedded within the rest of your roll.

[B]

I didn't know official quote is a thing already. I think they're a band or something.

[A]

Sorry. That happened. Back to the drawing board.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So she avoided the tail.

[B]

Yeah. Mine was cooked.

[A]

Mine was not. No, and you didn't.

[B]

I did avoid the tail. It was like a tail coming out each side.

[A]

I'm like, pinch the tail. You have to take the tail off.

[B]

Take it off one of my size, because that's weird looking to me.

[A]

But then it could be a fake shrimp.

[B]

You know what? I'd rather that than seeing a two tailed shrimp.

[A]

You were just saying about how restaurants don't give you real food, but you're also. There was radioactive shrimp, like, within 2025, like, right. Months ago. Hey, in 2025, we have radioactive shrimp.

[B]

Yep, you're right.

[A]

But, you know, we're on the other side of that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I did eat it, and

[B]

then I tried yours.

[A]

You didn't try mine.

[B]

Huh? What'd you say?

[A]

You didn't try mine.

[B]

I could have sworn I tried yours.

[A]

No, you tried my drink.

[B]

I did try your drink, but I had better. Your food.

[A]

I thought you did. What'd you think about it?

[B]

Wait, what was in it again?

[A]

Mine was, like, raw, spicy salmon. There was, like, maybe tuna on top.

[B]

Cause didn't Marty try it?

[A]

Yeah, but Marty also ordered raw fish herself.

[B]

Yeah, I tried one of y', alls, if not both.

[A]

Okay, and what did you think?

[B]

Wait, did yours have, like, cream cheese or. One of yalls had or some sort of something that made it like, that kind of texture in there?

[A]

Maybe there was, like, spicy mayo or something on it.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I don't know why I said cream cheese. I think I heard one of y' all say it.

[A]

No, One of the rules didn't have cream cheese.

[B]

Okay. I have to be in a certain mood, too, to be adventurous with food, to be adventurous with a lot. I gotta just be feeling like I'm just doing stuff this day.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I'm just living. This could be it. And I'm just gonna try new stuff.

[A]

And I love when you're in that mentality, because we've, like, been able to, you know, graduate to a lot of things with that mentality. You've tried pho. You love pho. You were on ramen before. Okay. Yeah. You knew ramen. But you also had chai lattes.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Yeah, those were good. You had dumplings. Those were good.

[B]

Yup.

[A]

Babysitters, if you want to hear about Sydney trying something, also, don't push it too much. Like, I'm gonna give y' all this advice when y' all write in on this. Sydney's the type of person that you can't go 1 to 10. You have to go from, like, 1 to 3, 4 if you're super confident in it. But you certainly can't skip more than, like, three steps at a time. And also, you don't want to lose her trust, so you have to, like, say some good things, and you're more likely to see her try a little bit more. That's just the way that I go about it. But, yeah, write in to see what you want. Said to try your approach to me. Yeah. The other night when you asked me, like, hey, how is this green tea mint? I didn't want to tell you. Like. Yeah, it was good. I don't. I like them. They're cool. Like, I don't love them. I wouldn't, like, lose my life for them, but they're good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And when you were like, hey, do you think I would like this? I'm not gonna say yeah, because I think there was a 30% chance that you would like it. So I was like, they're cool. Yeah, but you tried it anyway, and what'd you do? You spit it out. So what was I able to do in that moment? Give you an honest review for you. Like, I. Yeah, not even your. This is gonna be a side tangent, so actually, I'm gonna say that part next.

[B]

Okay. There's no rush. You could do it whenever you want to. Like, you could do the side tangent now or later. It's. We have free will.

[A]

So a. I was able to. This is number two. I was able to maintain your trust.

[B]

Where are we eight? Are we two A. Or. Or.

[A]

No, no, I. I skipped the tangent one because I'm moving on to the second point so I can go back to the tangent because I have something more to say about that. We're on. Sue, point number two is that I maintain trust with you by not giving you a dishonest review.

[B]

You did do that.

[A]

And then back to my point. A 1.1.1. When you give a gift that you want me to have, but I don't necessarily want it, I think that's a bad gift.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

If you. If there's been breadcrumbs of, like, being like, oh, like, man, I really like the color of blue. I'm like, man, I could really use a hoodie. Then I pop up with a blue hoodie.

[B]

It's.

[A]

Cause I listen to you, and I gave you a gift that you said there were elements of you liking. And I'm like, yeah, I know this can be a great gift, because she's been mentioning these things.

[B]

Listener.

[A]

So whenever you say. Whenever you're tasting foods and I'm, like, listening to what you like and what you don't like about it, I'm gauging how hard I need to push you next time, because I feel like your growth and your palette has grown so much since you collected on me. You're building a data. I'm AI. I am AI, and I'm building a database on you.

[B]

Well, you're. You're ruining black communities. Oh, no, no. Oh, which isn't funny. And we will actually Talk about that.

[A]

We do have to talk about that. Okay, so we're still at sushi, but let's get sushi.

[B]

All right. Yeah, let's go downstairs.

[A]

We had to skip sushi to move forward.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

With. Well, the big part of the night.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we were actually getting yelled at by Kia Nurse because we were, like, running late. And by late. Like, maybe ten minutes late.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

It wasn't.

[B]

But wait, before that, we went downstairs. Oh, yeah. We went to. We saw a cool little, like, thrift. Like, vintage thrift store.

[A]

It was very cool. You got a bomb.

[B]

Yeah, I got a cool, like, leather bomber.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The girl working there, she was like, what? Oh, she said, I knew y' all were gonna come in here soon.

[A]

She did pretty good.

[B]

She talked about thrifting and stuff. So I think she was like, okay, well, y' all are in Nashville.

[A]

Oh, speaking of thrifting.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Sid got me this for Christmas on our live pod last time, so.

[B]

Audio. She's wearing the shirt that I got her.

[A]

You love them. You love them so much.

[B]

I love y', all, Audio. I don't know why I act like this. I just. I miss y'.

[A]

All. She just wants more from you guys.

[B]

I do want more.

[A]

But you're not in a position to give more.

[B]

But they gotta be. They gotta get there. Because I know they're capable. I think that's why I'm so hurt by them and how they move. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

You're limiting yourself, Audio.

[B]

They are.

[A]

There's a whole second dimension to this that you could be tapping into.

[B]

There's so much more out there for y'. All. But y'. All. Y' all treat this so. Y' all treat this so regular, and it's not. You should be trying to be your best self. Your best self will be watching us on video. You know what I mean? And so when y' all don't do that, I'm like, here they go again. Like, cutting corners.

[A]

Silly audio.

[B]

Slacking. Silly audio. But I know I'm hard on y', all, but it's tough love. It's called tough love. Stop complaining about it.

[A]

Yeah, no, totally. I think they understand. I think they get it.

[B]

Do they?

[A]

I don't think they want to hear it, but I do think they get it. Or at least get where you're coming from. Maybe I don't want to speak for them, actually. So.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So after the thrift shop. Yeah, that's where we were getting in trouble by Kia. Yeah.

[B]

Nurse. And we were going to play put, put, put, put. Yeah.

[A]

So Kia nurse. So also so graciously set up the whole experience and kept adding members to the party. We'll pay you back, Kia. Don't sue us.

[B]

But you know what? I. When people act like they don't remember that they owe you money, like you remember that there was an exchange of currency that you did not have before asking me for said currency. Yeah. Once said currency has been spent and said currency asker for has now seen the person who loans that currency. Conversation should happen. You can't avoid somebody because you don't have their money yet.

[A]

Like, have you been avoiding Kia?

[B]

Not at all. But I'm just saying right now we're admitting that we owe her money. We're going to go give her the money. Genuinely just forgot. But for people who really borrow from people. No.

[A]

I'm going to make her wait till she says something like, imagine being that kind of person. There's a lot of those kind of people out there. That's not even funny.

[B]

But I'm going to imagine I said

[A]

that was a joke, but I'm like, that's how people actually go about it.

[B]

So she paid for it.

[A]

We went to. I'd pay. Actually. They don't sponsor us. I'm not going to say it, but we did go there. We had a really good time. If you haven't been, it's like putt, putt, but like also with kind of like a technological spin on it.

[B]

Yeah. They'll have like trivia screens, Pac man or like Bridges. You got to go over. It's just like different games that you're playing.

[A]

Connect Four and you can't cheat.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because the ball has like a sensor in it and you can tell how many taps it's had. So it like, it counts everything, actually. So if you have a cheating friend, that's a place for you guys to bring them because they can no longer cheat. It's monitored by Big Brother. And for all of you guys who don't know who Big Brother is, it's somebody that's on the outside that's watching what you're doing. In this sense, it is just a tracker. They might have cameras in there. I'm not sure.

[B]

But it was really fun.

[A]

Best time. I'm also terrible.

[B]

How did the Kias won, right?

[A]

Yeah. How the Kias win?

[B]

Just too competitive.

[A]

Honestly. It's probably because they're biracial. They're tapping into all elements of all races and they were able, like, putt, putt, of all things to Be good at.

[B]

Like, why are you.

[A]

I'm like, do y' all practice?

[B]

Why are y' all getting hole in ones? It's not even that serious, y'. All.

[A]

Kia Nurse, to be clear. And I don't know what Kia Stokes was doing because I was forced to be the guinea pig in game two because no one didn't. No one wanted to go first.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So my game took a hit. I came in second to last place, mainly because I just was poorly going about it. But also it is a benefit if you get to watch the person in front of you go.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And also the game kind of cheated me one time. You remember the big brother I was talking about? It wasn't actually tracking, you know, the drum one where it's supposed to hit every drum before you did it? I actually did it, but I can get points for it.

[B]

Oh. So are you feeling like you're holding, like, secret animosity toward me?

[A]

Have you been feeling a little bit in the moment? I did not celebrate for you. You were on that platform twerking, and I was.

[B]

Let's unpack, though.

[A]

I was underneath, like, looking up at you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

On your pedestal, celebrating your hole in one. And I'm like, that hole in one was robbed of. Of me. I didn't get to have my moment, so I was sitting there a bitter.

[B]

But you came up out of that, though. You didn't let. You didn't stay bitter.

[A]

No, I didn't stay bitter because I looked up and I was still at the bottom of the scoreboard. I think if I would have been closer to the top of the scoreboard, I would. Would have been more competitive.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Never a Karen, though. I wouldn't have brought it to that. But definitely more competitive. I would have asked management to look at the footage to make sure that I got my hole in one. But I wasn't going to do anything extra demanding.

[B]

Footage.

[A]

Hey, there's footage on whole 7. Cuz it was actually crazy, but I

[B]

would think you were a lunatic.

[A]

Sometimes things have to be said, and I didn't want to ruin the vibe. It was a really good grill.

[B]

Would have done it.

[A]

Hey. So not all heroes wear capes. Now knowing. Now knowing what I was sitting with there, do you, like, respect me for the way that I. Yeah, you handled it?

[B]

Well, yeah. Because the thing is, this is a lesson for all of you. Envy or jealousy, those are not things that you're, like, incapable of feeling. Even if you're a good person, you can feel jealous in a moment. You can feel jealousy in A moment. You can feel envy in a moment.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

It's how you move after that that will make me label you a complete nutter. Weirdo. I can feel rage. We can. We can experience so many emotions. That's where this is supposed to come into play. That's where this should come into play. A lot of you all are not just dense, not bright people. You're also not emotionally intelligent. You don't know how to deal with your feelings. And so you let a moment at Putt Putt start making you secretly, like, envious of a friend. And you carry that on. You're like, you know, they starting to pick up on little jealous moments, but it's like, surely not, my friend.

[A]

I'm, like, not holding the door for you anymore when you're right behind me. I'm doing little things. I don't like your Instagram posts anymore. Like, who cares? You're double tapping a screen. I like scrolling. I scroll past it, like, really quick. Like, didn't even see it. I'm hoping my algorithm, like, forgets it.

[B]

I'm like, but I'm always first on your story. And so I'll see that you liked a story.

[A]

No, I didn't.

[B]

None of those. But don't let jealousy make you weird, bitch.

[A]

I don't think you could have said it any better than that, Sid.

[B]

I don't think I could have either. Where were we?

[A]

Paying Kia back. Oh, no, we were talking about me not getting the hole in one that you got.

[B]

You are funny. No, you are.

[A]

No, I'm dead ass either way, y' all pay your friends back. And also, don't be jealous of them. That's what we were trying to get at. That was a very long tangent that we do apologize for. It is. I'm not apologizing for, oh, yeah, one half of us. Dude, I don't know if I ever, like, talked about this, but I am a forgetful person. Like, I know I've talked about my wallet quite a few times, but it doesn't just end there. It really just begins there. There's just so many times where it goes on and on about my passwords, forgetting passwords, forgetting where I put my car keys, all these different things, and where my car keys probably won't be able to be helped too much. Passwords is another thing, especially when it comes to my finances. All on Rocket Money's interface. It's so easily accessed and it's so readable. Everything is consolidated in one simple app. My checkings, my savings, my loans, my investments. All into a single dashboard to be able to give me the peace of mind that I need without having to reset every single password every time I'm trying to check these accounts. And really, it saved me a lot of heartache and frustration, but also a lot of time when everything's just in one place. It really makes it easy for you to see what you're working with. And, man, I couldn't be more grateful for that. If I asked you how many subscriptions you were paying for, would you be able to actually tell me how many and what they were? I certainly couldn't be able to tell you how many I was paying for. And most recently, I guess I got on the phone with customer service trying to, like, sort out my charges. And that's the last thing that I'm trying to do, if I'm being completely honest with you, because I get stirred to death. And so what could help me in these moments where you're like, hey, I want to not talk to customer service, but have my problem answered? Rocket Money has been the answer, and it's the answer every time. Because instead of me getting on the phone dealing with charges that I'm not personally making in real time just because I've, you know, had life happen and things just come onto your plate and you start to forget about what you planned on canceling a month, month after you signed up, or if you got a magazine just so you get the free something else. Whatever your situation was, don't let it ruin your life, and don't let customer service call you a he when you're not. So Rocket Money is definitely the app for you. You can cancel unwanted subscriptions. They'll even notify you and ask you, hey, do you think, do you know that this is a subscription you're paying for? They just let you know. So it's really bulletproof when it comes to making sure that you're on top of what you're spending your money on and making sure that you're able to spend your money in the right places and not on useless subscriptions that you forgot about months ago. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can help grow your savings. Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster. [e-mail] that's RocketMoney.comUnsupervised Again, in the final time. RocketMoney.comUnsupervised I'm not gonna tell you again, it's RocketMoney.comUnsupervisor. you got it. Galentine's day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we did special shout out to Au for always doing like these cute nuances constantly. Like if it's free coffee day, if they're bringing lattes to the gym, if they're making a Galentine's thing, there's a murder mystery dinner coming up. Like, there's so many experiences here that they do shout out to Ang, Shay, Jessica, Amanda, Mikel, everybody that's making this super fun shout to you guys. But we had this really awesome Galentine's wine tasting event.

[B]

Well, last night.

[A]

Last night, yeah. And it was such a time. And there's a few things that need to be discussed about it. First of all, before we get into it, have you ever been to a wine tasting before?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And what was your initial experience like?

[B]

It wasn't a vineyard, but it was a wine tasting that went like a couple different places were involved. Like a couple different restaurants were involved. So it was like hopping to the other. To different places. But cool. It was cool. Like, I'm not a big drinker, as you know, so I mostly just like when stuff is sweet, like, yeah, that is your one request, you know, like, I just want.

[A]

You want to taste good.

[B]

Yeah. I don't like it being dry. I don't like going like this and shit. Trying to get saliva. Like, why is this robbing me of saliva?

[A]

I'm good on this drink, but it was really good. I've never done a wine tasting before, but that experience was like really fun. And we wrapped up the Galentine's day night with a really special version of Bingo.

[B]

Yeah, we did.

[A]

It was song bingo. You guys guessed it. And what song bingo that you guys just guessed. Let me explain it to you. They gave all of us a different bingo card with just different songs.

[B]

It was 90s r b in 90s and 2000s r b mix number one

[A]

that also had a spring go of like Jason Derulo in it and Drake.

[B]

I was like, yeah, this is not R B.

[A]

Now what we pictured but still fit the mold. But everybody had a different card. And like they never told you the name of the song. You had to know the name of the song by title and by artists, which I realize I know a lot of songs but I don't know the name of them or who sings them necessarily. The second round was just love songs by all different artists. My peers were leaning on me heavy for this one. I did not come through for them.

[B]

Mostly white artists on this one. The R B was like all like black songs. Yeah, like black artists. So people started Shazam. Using Shazam.

[A]

Yeah. We had on their phone necessary cheaters. Like the game never would have ended. We just weren't getting a lot of the second. But I did again. No more songs in that group than

[B]

I thought I knew. Yeah, I knew more.

[A]

Not by name. Certainly not by name. I did download a few songs.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

From last night. It was a good little refresher. Whenever somebody has a good playlist that you remember that you forgot this song.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's really nice to have that and put that in your library. You're gonna like wear it out for the next couple weeks and then you'll probably put it again back in the forgetful chamber that you had it in before.

[B]

But that feeling is just crazy of hearing an old song after like Dec. A decade.

[A]

A decade.

[B]

It's nuts. I love music. Music and, and like smells for that reason are so powerful like this. It's just so interesting to me. I want to look up like, why is that? Like, why does that happen like that? What does it stick. Stick in our mind the way that

[A]

it does that There's.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

I don't know a lot about it, but there's like studies that show that ascent can bring back memory.

[B]

Right. Music too.

[A]

Music as well.

[B]

For people with like dementia, Alzheimer's, whatever.

[A]

It's really crazy. Cuz a couple years ago my grandma passed away when I was a freshman in. In college. Mama Marion. And like my Mama Marion had this like really distinct smell. It wasn't like a perfumey smell, it was just like a. Her smell.

[B]

Yeah. And

[A]

whenever she passed, like I. She willed me her car. Like I drove around a Lincoln Town Car in college. Shout out to Mama Mary for that. I was whipping around, I called her Mama and everything. I was like, yeah, whipping mama around. It was, it was fun. She was great. But I always drove that car to and from lsu. Like when I would go home and I would go back to school, like it was always in that car. And a couple years ago I went back on campus and I got a whiff of like my grandma randomly like driving down the interstate again. She hasn't been here for years. I wasn't in that car. Like there was nothing that was about her that was with me at that point.

[B]

Oh, you weren't in the Town Car?

[A]

No, I was in my. And my. My everyday driver.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I got a whiff of like just driving on. Just like the part of the interstate that has, like, trees on both sides, you know, like one of those. So there was nothing telling. There was no, like, refinery. There was nothing that was, like, nothing to my eye that would give a scent.

[B]

Explain exactly why her smell was there.

[A]

Exactly. And it was with me. And I. Like, it brought me straight back to her. And I wasn't thinking about her. Like, it wasn't like that smell made me think about her. And it's just crazy how much it does draw. Like, I'm sure everybody has their own.

[B]

I mean, like, do you believe in spirits, though?

[A]

I do.

[B]

I do, too.

[A]

I believe that there's.

[B]

She was just with you for whatever reason. For sure. Maybe you needed that at that moment. But I don't see what's so hard. Like, I guess I don't see why people don't believe in spirits. I'm like, with everything that we can't explain here on Earth and then think about. There are other planets. So, like, there's a lot we don't know. So the thought of a spirit existing, if we can, like, fly planes, I'm, like, gonna believe anything if I just.

[A]

If we believe in WI fi, like, raise your hand if you touched it. Not me. Like, if you can believe in WI fi, then you can believe that there's other elements.

[B]

There's a lot that we don't understand. We complain about WI fi. It's so funny, like, what we complain about as people, as though we understand even a little bit of the intricacies it takes for that thing to even exist. We're like, why didn't the fucking WI fi working? And we're, like, pissed.

[A]

But it's like, you're, like, looking at this small box, like, yelling at it, or you're, like. You're looking into the air. Like you don't even know where to talk to when you're speaking to WI fi. You're just, like, searching for, like, your. Your focus point. Like, you're just mad.

[B]

Rtp. Give me that same drum roll, baby.

[A]

Pow.

[B]

This is a very special off the Bench brought to you by FP Movement from unsupervised with SID ntp.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Check you out.

[A]

No, look at you.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[A]

Look at you. No, really, let's stop. Look at you. No, literally, no. No, look at you. No, I want you to look at me now.

[B]

I'm looking.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Tell you what I see.

[A]

Tell me what you see.

[B]

I see a beautiful girl in a blue hoodie. It's bringing the blue out her eyes for Me, I love her. I love her, love her.

[A]

Wow, Sid, thank you for that.

[B]

You're welcome.

[A]

Like, I feel like I am winning. Like, together women win, but also I'm winning just by wearing this. Like, the comfort, the style, the collaboration, like, beautiful all around. And also the variety of color. Me. And the blue. Getting a little eye pop action. Yeah. And the white, what is it?

[B]

Cream? I think not quite green, but it's not white.

[A]

It's like eggshell, but it's thick.

[B]

And it looks great on you.

[A]

Are you hitting on me? So this collab is celebrating, like, the future of women's sports. And what I would like to see out of the future of women's sports is a place for, like, little girls to be able to look up to people that look like them and be successful in their sport. When I was a kid, you know, we didn't have women's sports on tv. Like, even when I was adult, we didn't have women's sports on tv.

[B]

Even when I was in the league,

[A]

in the league, I was, like, struggling to try to not be blacked out on league pass for this. But now little girls, when they're asked, like, hey, who's your favorite player? You don't have to name a male player. You can name someone who looks like you and who you can fill their shoes one day. And that's what I guess excites me most about the future of women's sports.

[B]

I think for me, when I think about together, women win. I think about just, like, big moments in women's basketball or women's sports in general, where you're starting to have, like, way more women in the crowds you're seeing way more women talk about sports online with more women having podcasts, like, or just hosting shows. I think the. The visibility has gone a long way so far. Like, there's still so much room to grow. But the fact that you got more women supporting one another and understanding that, you know, when our athletes are winning and what they fight for and what they're, you know, competing for, like, that's a win for everybody.

[A]

Yeah, I love that. A lot of great moving forward in the women's game, and I can't wait to see where it goes.

[B]

For sure. The government is just wild right now, period. I don't know if you saw Cardi B. At her concert. She, like, jokingly, so the post says Cardi B. Jokingly threatens to jump ice at her concert. Homeland Security tweeted back, as long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

She said, if we talking about drugs, let's talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to R pe them. Why y' all don't want to talk about the Epstein files? So wild.

[A]

The fact that this is on the Internet for.

[B]

They're consistently wild. My president tweets outrageously. You got Homeland Security beefing with celebrities.

[A]

So I'm like, homeland, you guys will not take on serious threats. But Cardi B joking about jumping you is actually insane for you guys to seriously take it to Twitter.

[B]

Y' all have to have more to do.

[A]

And also, is that. Is that, like, the legal correspondence? Like, is that how it's supposed to work? Like, okay, threat. Let's hit Twitter, and let's see. And you know what? Let's take it a step further. Let's tweet at the person. I love the way that they're handling stuff. It seems really bulletproof there. That's crazy. Okay, so also, Cardi B. You guys are worried about Cardi B.

[B]

Just a citizen. Rapper.

[A]

Rapper.

[B]

She was a stripper.

[A]

Funny.

[B]

She was turned in her life. She's now a MA. I'm just like, yeah, you would imagine that she was doing some partying in her life. So it would not have ever shocked me to find out Cardi B was, like, smoking weed. Oh, no. What? I never saw that.

[A]

No way.

[B]

I hope not. So as long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, I'm just like, okay, it's. It's remarkable that this is the. The top.

[A]

Okay, so drugging and robbing people are both incorrect. So we're now both agreeing that it is wrong to drug people and rob people. Okay. With that being said, Homeland, I'd like to direct your attention to the Epstein files, because we need to turn those files into trials. Like, I'm sick of talking about it.

[B]

It's actually scary when you think about it, because what level do we have to get to for these to finally be released? But, like, it's so sick what. What people are collectively witnessing. But, you know, this has got to be part of their plan to just slowly be showing and letting you hear about disgusting and horrific things that people that run the government that are elite. And I don't. Why the fuck are they called elites anyway? You're not. You're not.

[A]

You're not elite.

[B]

Elite. And, like, I would put you in

[A]

a small category of, like, weirdos. Y' all are elite. Elite weirdos.

[B]

So I don't understand how that's like what we're dealing with, the fact that they are even letting average people see this and the media is pushing it out, like something very weird is going on. And it feels like this is a lot of, like, distraction from something and not. It feels like it is, but at the same time it makes people feel paralyzed because there's not anything that you can do about it. They're basically just taunting you. Like, yeah, this is what is going on. What now and what about it?

[A]

Because I'm like, if somebody, if I had a child that was in school and that teacher, if a teacher of my child was in the Epstein files, oh, that teacher would be done, gone. Like, there would be so many things written up about this teacher and how this teacher needs to be removed.

[B]

Right?

[A]

It's not even funny now. Let's take that second grade class and let's make it America or the world even.

[B]

Right?

[A]

And nobody's taking any steps to be like, hey, these people should not be in charge of anything because of their actions.

[B]

Yeah, they gotta.

[A]

They gotta go.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know.

[A]

I think, but they're like, hey, no, we're still collecting all the evidence. There's over a thousand women.

[B]

I mean, if there were ever a time to actually try to overthrow government, it would be this one. Not what happened prior when they tried to do it, because what was your justification? But now would actually be the time.

[A]

But I'm not going to do it.

[B]

It's. It's some scary shit, though.

[A]

It is scary.

[B]

Some scary shit. But you know what? Y', all with all that said there. What? You got something?

[A]

No, I just want to say, like, shout out to Cardi V. Cardi B For pushing back. Because like, sometimes, a lot of times they think that they're untouchable in a lot of ways because they are untouchable in a lot of ways. When you protect yourselves from within. Yeah, but the fact that, you know, Cardi's using her platform to like people because it's so uncalled for and it's so out the blue.

[B]

That's why you, you saw a lot of people were leaving at whatever agency. A lot of like, actors, celebrities, they were. They were leaving because something. But somebody was in. We could bleep that if it's not right, but apparently somebody was in the Epstein files. And so people are like, yeah, I'm not gonna work for this agency. I don't align with what y' all align with. Please. Yeah, understand.

[A]

But there's also like a second level to that where people Are like, torn. They're like, I've been with this agent that's under this agency, completely unrelated, has nothing to do with anything in the files. They're like. So I'm being forced to either, like, go against my morals and stick with this agency, or I have to like, ask my agent to leave this agency when this is all this person knows as well. And everybody's life is being uprooted. Uprooted instead of one person. Yeah, actually just stepping down, that actually did all these really messed up things.

[B]

But this is how these forms of power are effective and how they work, though they keep people fearful of what they have, which is also the problem with capitalism that we can't see. Americans in general, both of us included, we can't fully see just how fucked we are because we have so many distractions. Yeah, I'm scrolling on social media, I'm watching a show on, on streaming, I'm hanging out with my friends. In reality, this shit is a mess and nobody should really be subscribing to anything that we're supposed to do anymore. It doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

[A]

But the fact, the fact that people are openly admitting to being too busy to like, check on, like, what laws apply to them and not. I'm like, these, this is your life. You can't put politics and laws aside because at the end of the day, what, when it comes down to it, it'll affect you. You are affected by what's going on in these policies and these legislations and everything being made right now. So you can't ignore it. So the fact that all these distractions are available and also there's more to be found. There's a new trend every day, all the time.

[B]

But, but because of that, because of people's desire to keep their jobs and to, to reach, you know, financial, like, success, like, to reach a point of having financial success. Most people are going to stay within the comfortable confines of their homes. The only way that people will really start to band together is if we lose all of these nice things that we have around us. We're way too materialistic to ever revoke that. And that is what, that's what the government knows. And it feels like crazy to live in this kind of world because you feel like there's no way that this is real life. There's no way that this is real life. But because of our desire to be comfortable and do all these things, I assure you, if we lost all of this stuff, people would be acting way different.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

If a lot of us just became homeless in the next week or two.

[A]

Also, if you just take away social media to see what a stranger has, like 2 trillion miles away from you, like, who cares what they have, right? Keeping up with the Joneses, if all that subsides, imagine, like, what the world would look like. We would look much different. I think you would start building on the things that we used to tap into when we were kids that felt so good and also felt so second nature until it wasn't. And also that transition happened so quickly that you don't even stop to think, like, hey, like, I used to hang out with the kids in my neighborhood. Hey, I used to be able to go out and do this. Now everything is like, so predicated and, and, and, and having enough money to, like, do something. Yeah. And like, what you have and like, who you're with, leisure, everything is expensive.

[B]

But, but we got on this. I was just trying to say, like, I understand the pool that people experience, like, because people have families that you're trying to take care of. So losing all of your income because you leave this place. I get it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But people in general, like, if everybody gets on the same page, that of one, what is moral and what you should not be okay with, then there would not be the ability for these people to run amok the way that they do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They wouldn't be able to do it because enough people would be able to just say, like, actually, no, like, I'm not fucking with this. Like, this does not go. I don't stand for what you stand for. But that's hard for people to do. It's really hard for people to do. But for me, I'm glad that we have this platform because I'm like, I don't care about being rich. That's not. Like, that was never a life goal of mine. So principally, I'm going to stand on shit. And like, all of this shit that's going on is weird. People who aren't saying that it's weird, but they're super vocal about other stuff. You're weird and you already clock it from certain people. But people got to look inward and realize what it is that you're saying. You accept.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And for some people, they're cool with it because a lot of people do not have humanity within them. So, like, I'm not trying to get through to them. I would never try to get through to them. But other people that do have a heart, but you're letting other things pull you. Yeah, you gotta. If you were to die tomorrow. Are you comfortable with how you moved?

[A]

Yeah. Your recentering will come at some point. Hopefully. Hopefully. Nothing like bad has to happen for you to have this realization. Like, hopefully you can just learn through other people's mistakes and other people's losses. But I think the reality does come true, come through eventually. Because if that is who you are in your. At your core, you don't. You're never fulfilled because there's something always missing. And that something might just be being a good neighbor, being a nice person, doing a little bit more, because if you're not being fulfilled, because I don't think anybody truly is fulfilled by things and money, and I think that it maybe fill some voids. I think money does allow comfort, and things allow comfort, but I think you're always gonna be searching for something. Now, what your true passion in life and what you need to be trying to obtain is, like, who you are. You don't have to be anybody else. You don't have to wear this. You don't have to look like that. Just stay true to who you are, and that will center you, that will draw you to your purpose faster, and that will help you not be blindsided. Ignore the world that's going around you. But also, you can start to spore your goodness around you, and it starts with just one person. And if you're lucky enough to be around multiple people that have that mentality, even better. It's really easy to conquer when you have fellowship and when you have people around you that support that. And, you know, I know everyone that's listening here, everyone that's reached out to us or told us in person, people that just stop us and say, like, hey, like, thank you guys for, you know, spreading joy and for what you guys do. Thank you for all these things, but also, like, thank y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Y' all wouldn't be here if y' all didn't want to receive it. Y' all didn't have to show up. We're not paying you guys. We've, like, reiterated that so many times. This is a free gig. Love you, though, but we love you. And, like, also, like, you guys do your part to pour into the world as well.

[B]

And.

[A]

And I think that's a very special thing that, you know, we want to build. We want to build a community of joy. Right now. It's virtually. But whenever we see you guys in person, whenever you guys reach out to us, like, it's really appreciated. And we also appreciate what you're pouring into the world as well. And hopefully what you take from here is something that will resonate with you.

[B]

No, it means a lot when we hear stuff from y'. All. I mean, which really I'm. I'm going to read this one from. From the other day.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We're gonna take it to down in the DMs, though.

[A]

I think this is a good time. It goes down in the dm. It go down. It go down in the dm. It go down. It go down

[C]

unsupervised.

[B]

Okay. So obviously we did the live show last week, and after one of our. Our, like, in person DMs, the game we played. So one of our babysitters, one of Yalls fellow babysitters, Hendrix, shared a message with us after the show. Mind you, Hendrix told us about themselves. Yeah.

[A]

On.

[B]

On the first date. Yeah. And talked about that. That date, though, later became her wife.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And Hendrix DM'd us the next day. Or like later that night after the pod said, hey, Hendrix here. I don't usually do this. And yes, I did ask Hendrix if I could share this. I'm not just sharing it.

[A]

Hendrix, we appreciate you.

[B]

We appreciate you. Yeah.

[A]

That's why we're here talking about this.

[B]

We said, hey, Hendrix here. I don't usually do the DM thing, but really wanted to thank you guys for such a fun night. You guys have been a part of mine and my wife's relationship since the early stages. The sitting TP show was how I introduced her to the W. And anytime we would get in little fights, she joked that she was leaving to go find her new wife, Sid. Lol. Anytime she was upset, a clip of you two would cheer up. My wife passed in April and didn't get to become a babysitter, but would have loved the POD and would have lost her mind to be here tonight. Your podcast is one of the few things that brings a smile to my face as of late. And for tonight to have played out where I could be there in person really was such a blessing. And then to get to unexpectedly share that embarrassing meat growth story was like getting to bring my wife along with me. So I just wanted to say thanks for the love, kind love, fun, kindness, and positivity you bring into all of our lives. And we read that that night and I had to stop from getting emotional tonight because you're crying now. But we both cried the night that we read it because it literally takes so little in this life to be nice, like to be kind, to make people feel seen. And so we. We hope that we have listeners that are constantly feeling like that's the main thing to do when I get up in the morning, like, let me talk to a stranger. Let me make somebody's. Let me try to make somebody's day a little better if I'm unable to. Because you don't always have it. I hope I have an interaction with somebody that feels uplifting to me or feels like a sign to me, but that only happens when we're in community. You know, we can't always be everywhere with our headphones on. We can't always have a disposition of, like, nobody talk to me. It's like we're here to fellowship with one another, to commune, to find people who you feel like are spreading love and trying to do their best in this life, but you're not gonna experience that if you just don't open up your heart to do so. And so we have a small platform that we hope to do stuff with, but, like, y' all do, too. Y' all do, too. And hopefully you're taking that to heart.

[A]

Absolutely. And I. I just can't thank Hendricks enough for, like, sharing this peace with us because, you know, we encounter a lot of, like, really awesome people every single day, and very rarely do we get to, you know, understand the story behind, you know, the person and, you know, the fact that you, Hendricks, were able to, you know, feel like your wife was with you in that moment. Like, we also felt her, and we, like, you know, are invested in. To your relationship and to your, you know, your grieving and your, you know, your love that you put into this world. Because meeting you, I had no idea that this was your story. And I think that another thing that I took from this is, like, the way that you showed up was so. It was so uplifting and so powerful that I never knew that this was your not only struggle, but, like, your recent struggle as well, and know. Thank you again for sharing with us. And, you know, we took a lot from your story personally.

[B]

Thanks, Hendricks. Appreciate you. Okay, we're going to get to a little funnier one. Let's do another.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And we'll do it quickly.

[A]

So I know this is a. A touchy subject for Sid, but we've gotten a few people writing in, you know, trying to try to defend the audio listeners, because, again, we do love you guys audio, but you do miss out on jokes sometimes based off the fact that there is another dimension that we're. That you're missing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we had a few people that wrote in. Darius, thanks so much for writing in he said, hey, Sid and cp, I'm an avid listener of the pod and I love it. With that being said, please accept this DM as a move to stop the hate on the audio listeners. Most of the time when I tune into the pod, I'm working and unable to watch, so I'm forced to use audio only. However, this doesn't make me a second class babysitter. Hashtag stopaudio. Listener hate. Darius, we do hear you. We hear you.

[B]

But I got to be me.

[A]

Sid will always be herself. And so, Sid, I feel like you should take the next one.

[B]

Yeah, I did this at the camera, Darius. I shrugged. But you won't see that obviously, so, yeah, yeah, next one. Ashley J. Dear Sidd and tv, I've been watching. I've been listening to y' all for a while now, and I had to write in to stand up for all the audio listeners. I'm about tired of y' all going in on us like we're second class citizens. Some of us have long commutes and can't. Some of us have long commutes and can't watch the video. I'm personally training for my first half marathon, so once again, can I watch while I'm trying to get these miles in? Okay, Love that for you. Keep.

[A]

Yeah, have marathon. You go, girl.

[B]

Enough is enough. Put some respect on the audio listeners. Name y' all here, and if y' all don't want the smoke, y' all better chill. Sincerely, a longtime listener, first time writer. P.S. i love the show, y'. All. Keep it real and keep me in my happy pants on my runs. Thank you for all the laughs. PSS As I wrote this, I heard y' all voices reading this laughing emoji. Thank you.

[A]

Thank you, Ashley.

[B]

Thanks for writing in.

[A]

So Ashley and Darius and everybody else that maybe has similar complaints, we hear you guys, but that doesn't mean we're gonna let up. We have to keep this as a running joke. Just like, considered an inside joke at this point because we love y' all dearly. But we will, you know, get on you guys for missing a part of the joke.

[B]

But I love y'. All. No doubt about it. Well, tp, I mean, this was a. Y', all. We had a totally different plan when we started, but, like, we just go with the vibe of how we're feeling, so it's a good episode. I like. I like today.

[A]

Next week we will have a special guest.

[B]

Oh, yeah, we will.

[A]

But we're not gonna tell you who. You have to wait till next week.

[B]

All right? Y' all already know what it is. If y' all want us in your business, you want us to give you advice, want to share a moment of kindness that happened throughout your week. Week. DM us at unsupervised CP and as

[A]

[B]

We love y'. All. See y' all next week. Unsupervised. Unsupervised.
