Episode Overview

In this episode of "Unsupervised," Syd Colson and Theresa Plaisance (TP), best friends and former WNBA teammates, bring their signature off-the-cuff humor and wild tangents to topics ranging from the camaraderie of women's pro basketball to bizarre hypotheticals, minor league baseball mascots, and the often-overlooked parallels between WNBA players and strippers. With their usual blend of candid banter, heartfelt observations, and hilarious analogies, they deliver an episode that's as insightful as it is unpredictable. Listener questions and life advice round out an hour filled with laughter, friendship, feminism, and a dash of internet conspiracy.

[Sid]

Boop.

[TP]

Hey, Sid.

[Sid]

Hello, Theresa.

[TP]

Hey, babysitters.

[Sid]

Hello, babysitters.

[TP]

How's everybody doing today?

[Sid]

You talking to me or.

[TP]

Oh, no, just everybody.

[Sid]

Caleb's.

[TP]

I want everyone to answer amongst yourselves, like, how are you? You're in the car.

[Sid]

Yup.

[TP]

You can give a little response. We're gonna leave you a little window right now.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Hey, Sid. I'm great. I actually wanted to bring up something really fast.

[Sid]

Bring it up.

[TP]

You got me this really cool sweatshirt, and I'm finally wearing it.

[Sid]

It looks good.

[TP]

It looks so good.

[Sid]

I'm not gonna lie. Every. Okay, so this was supposed to get here before we even got to Nashville. So when they. When it was delayed over and over. Cause of something in their factory or whatever. Something with their embroidery. I don't remember the reason, but it was late, so it ruined the plan for it to be here for you to wear here. And as the days kept going on, I'm like. I'm looking at you. Get ready for the games. I'm like, are you gonna wear what I got you? You know when you're wondering if somebody liked your gift enough? Cause they haven't worn it.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

So good job wearing it.

[TP]

No, it's just like. It's white. I don't wanna wear it to, like, just any environment. A basketball game does seem a little bit more dangerous for staining purposes.

[Sid]

People hugging you and getting makeup on it.

[TP]

Yeah, this seems safer.

[Sid]

Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

[TP]

But I will be wearing it again. I just. Like, you always want the first time to be the best time. Yeah, you only get to. You know what they say? No, you only wear a T shirt once for the first time. Once or whatever

[Sid]

to the theme song. Unsupervised. Unsupervised. Unsupervised.

[Guest or Performer]

Yeah, we say what we want and yeah, we say what we feel. Sitting TMP in a mix and they be keeping it real. On brand, off topic, out of place, pocket, Anything you need, they got it. Why don't you shop? You know they gonna block up when it's game time and you know I'm gonna block them? And we cover everything like ho. 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 bluff.

[Sid]

Oh, we finally think we learned the words because we were struggling for a minute.

[TP]

We were.

[Sid]

We were about what she was saying, so. Yeah, we know. We told y' all a long time ago. We were Gonna go word for word, but we'll have to hit up T.

[TP]

We're not T because we're not that talented to speak that quickly. I don't know if you've ever heard our cadence, but it's certain.

[Sid]

Yeah. When she said what on brand, off topic, out of pocket. Anything you need, they got it. We don't know that next line. Word for word. It sounds like what I thought it sounded like is why shoot a shot when you know they gonna block it? But we don't know for sure. So if y' all feel like y' all know, let us know.

[TP]

We're open minded.

[Sid]

We'll hear from you before Tierra. But TP AU's over.

[TP]

I know.

[Sid]

We're done being roommates.

[TP]

So sad. How was your roommate this season?

[Sid]

How were you?

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Why are you speaking to yourself as a whole?

[TP]

I just like, I wanted to see if you noticed that I was asking about your experience.

[Sid]

Yeah, I brought it up. It was amazing, you know, I love it. It's like, what do we call it, like extended. It's like summer camp when we're here. So it was fun. Like obviously Marty was in there with Pyre too. You're in there with yams. So it was a whole family affair. It's just fun. Like you don't do stuff like that as an adult. And this is like what I love about sports and why probably we've stuck, we've stayed in it for so long. Cause we're just. I'm a people person, you're a people person. We just, we like environments that we're in usually more than the actual thing that we're doing. Like we just like kicking it with people. And when you're an adult, you get into the real world. You got a real job, real responsibilities, you might have a family, kids, whatever. You're not usually just having sleepovers with your friends for 30 days in a row. Plus.

[TP]

Certainly not platonic ones. Certainly not platonic ones. But I will say that I would 1000% agree with you. And also for all you guys out there, I would highly recommend platonic sleepovers. It's so fun. We stayed up way later than I've ever stayed up consecutively. Also never leaving the house like we just did, you know, normal 30 year old things like played board games with our 30 year old friends and made 1500 piece puzzles with our 30 year old friends.

[Sid]

And we made jello. Made jello several times out of nostalgia.

[TP]

We watched a lot of show, of

[Sid]

course, watched a ton of shows, game shows.

[TP]

Yeah. Some of which we are disappointed in. Some of which were fine. Learned some things from a few of them.

[Sid]

Learned some things. It was just a good time.

[TP]

Really good time.

[Sid]

Good time. So we coming to an end. Like, it was really fun. Shout out to Odyssey.

[TP]

Shout out to Odyssey.

[Sid]

He's a champion of au.

[TP]

Yeah, she was.

[Sid]

So she gets a nice bonus to take back home with her. But just the environment in general, it was just a good time. Like, the basketball was good. We got to do these. These new things that we probably didn't see ourselves doing anytime soon. Like, I wasn't expecting to go try my hand at broadcasting again, you know, And I really enjoyed the color commentating. You got to be on court doing in game hosting.

[TP]

I did. It was interesting. Never hosted like that before. And it was definitely a learning curve. Getting thrown out there with, like, no experience or really no, like, time to study on how to become a mc. But it was really fun to, you know, pick up some things from those around me, just, like, learn and find who I was within mc. And it ended up being a lot of fun.

[Sid]

So many people said you were doing a great job. And I would tell you that just for you to, you know, stay encouraged. Cause it's a lot to. Just when you gotta go pump up a crowd and make your energy, make them respond. Like, some people don't give you shit at games. I honestly can't stand those times.

[TP]

And then there's crickets.

[Sid]

It's like, you see this person is doing their best at their job, and you're not gonna give them shit.

[TP]

You. It's crazy.

[Sid]

It's weird to me.

[TP]

But those same fans boo.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

I'm like, okay, we need to work on what we're focused on here. Because as a fan, I just believe fans should always be positive about your team. If you're a fan, then you're being positive about your team. Like, do we have complaints about our team? Yeah. But at the end of the day, you need to probably keep those within you, because let's just, like, put into regular people terms. Sid, if you're typically, like. If you're typically funny and then one day you show up and your jokes are just trash, I'm not gonna sit here and berate you for having an off day.

[Sid]

Yeah. Yeah.

[TP]

Like, I know that if you made it to this level of comedy, you're typically funny. I'm not gonna be like, hey, you don't deserve to be on the court anymore. You should leave forever. We don't want to see you. No. So why would you boo the team that you're trying to help win if someone was, like, being negative and, like, hey, you suck. Do you think, like, I'm now gonna do better because you told me that I sucked? I don't get the logic of booing.

[Sid]

It's like, leisure. You're coming for this, like, leisurely event, so just, like, enjoy it.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Why are you bringing, like, so much.

[TP]

Nagging you to be there. You're actually paying to get in. If you want your experience to be negative. Okay. I guess you paid for it. Right?

[Sid]

Right. But it's just. It's just odd. Hey, just something to think about. Fans. What else? With Sandra? No, no, that was part of it. I mean, like, it was the basketball being good, being fun, the in game hosting the broadcasting. But. Oh. One of our friends, one of our members of the women's shelter, retired. Shout out to Coya.

[TP]

Sequoia Holmes.

[Sid]

Sequoia Holmes. That's our girl.

[TP]

She plays in retirement.

[Sid]

19 years. Professionally. We played together in San Antonio back in the day, and her speech was just emotional. And I know we were both getting emotional listening to her. A. You did a good job of recognizing her. And she got to just speak on what playing for this long meant, and it's gotta be just. You know, it's a. It can be a scary feeling to not know what's next when you've poured so much into this one thing, and that's. Most athletes experience when they're done, because you just. You never tried anything else, whether it was you didn't feel like you had the opportunity or you were just scared that the money wouldn't be there if you stopped playing for stints of time or the jobs. The jobs wouldn't be there if you took a break. So you're just constantly on the go, like, go, go, go overseas. W. Or just overseas and break at home. But her speech was. It was just really, really good. And I'm glad she got to feel celebrated by. By the fans at AU and by the rest of us.

[TP]

Yeah, it was a really good moment. And, you know, always been a big Sequoia fan, like, when she was in San Antonio back in the day.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

And y' all were, like, respectfully the

[Sid]

worst team in the league. Yeah.

[TP]

Sequoia was always one of my favorites to, like, watch.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

I wasn't playing very much then, and I'm like, she.

[Sid]

She can score it. She can let it score it.

[TP]

So crafty.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

She had that thing on a string, and she was so quick with her handles. Like, yeah, Sequoia is. They don't make a lot of Sequoias. Certainly not anymore. But Sequoia was really, really fun to watch. And thank you for everything that you've done for the league, for the game, for the women's game alone, and also what you're doing with our youth. You're being really impactful in Vegas. And, you know, Sekora is the type of person that can make just a huge difference the way that she delivers things. And just, like, her experience alone and how she can speak on that is impactful. And so anybody that you know is listening, that is being coached by Sequoia or that knows Sequoia, like, listen.

[Sid]

Did you say listen, Jinx, you owe

[TP]

me a what you do? Soda.

[Sid]

Imagine you pull out cocaine right now. And I just do a lot on this table. Like, what?

[TP]

Like, whoa, I'm not that kind of white.

[Sid]

Yeah. But, hey, cancel. Don't do cold guys. But I was about to say, this stuff is all just really fleeting. And so it was nice to see it come to, like, a culmination and somebody that we know and see them be surrounded by love and feel good about it and coy. You're gonna be good. Whatever's next, you're good. God got you. You're a good person. It's all gonna work out the way it's supposed to. And I was gonna say, you know, like, our friends, like, we love talking about our friends. Like, y' all heard on the last episode, like, with Keon, and then we had our friends, you know, sitting and watching. But I'm like, I want to see. I want to see people, like, not get away. You don't have to totally get away from celebrities being on, but, like, celebrity praise and worship. Like, I like us having our friends on. And our friends are cool, but. But to some, they may not be. They're not the status that's, like, worth tuning into. But if you think that we're cool and we're funny and we're all these things, please understand we're not hanging out with people who aren't.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

So just. Cause they're not. They don't got maybe the following everybody, or they don't. You don't see what it is. I feel like that messes people up in their real life, too. Like, people don't even know how to pick probably friend groups anymore. Cause you're just like, meeting somebody and you're like, oh, what's your IG? And then you see they have 782 followers and you're like, absolutely not.

[TP]

Would never be your friend.

[Sid]

When that could probably be the best friend for you or the best example on how to be a friend for you. But like, get away from celebrity worship. You've seen in the news, hopefully what some people do behind the scenes. Just cause people are super talented or gifted at something doesn't mean that they're good people. So I love that we bring our friends on. I want us to bring more friends on. And people don't have to be famous and so known. Like, no, like that.

[TP]

It's actually more refreshing that they're. That they're not. But the thing is, like, get to know the people that you're hanging out with. Make sure that you're having conversations, real conversations. Like, we live. We just talk about what kind of shows we like, our favorite, whatever this. Get to know somebody. Bring up some hypotheticals, see how people would react. And speaking of, we had a really interesting hypothetical earlier today.

[Sid]

Yeah, we did. TB was taking clothes out of the dryer. And they were mine because I had

[TP]

clothes in the wash that needed to go in the dryer.

[Sid]

Right, right. So she grabbed my clothes and was like, oh, shit, your undies smell good. Undies smell good.

[TP]

And I said, oh, I meant taste good. And I said, speaking of, what if you walked into your room, to my closet in particular, into your closet, and I was just standing there, you didn't actually see me do it, but it was just like obvious you did everything but see me do it. I was just quickly bringing your underwear from my face, like down my side. I was like, nothing. You didn't actually see it though, but you saw the movement that my arm did and you saw what was in my hand. So you can only assume what I was doing with that. What do you do in that moment?

[Sid]

I'm immediately disgusted by you. Like, I'm so confused.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

What's the name of the thing? Is it pica?

[TP]

Oh, pica. When you just eat stuff.

[Sid]

An abnormal desire to eat substances such as chalk or ashes. Not normally eaten, which I would put

[TP]

underwear in that category.

[Sid]

Yeah, Asses. But I would. I would like be making a face for one. Like, I'd probably walk in and be like, so caught off guard, that one. That you're in my room in my closet.

[TP]

What if I was like, no, it was a joke. But like, my face like, no.

[Sid]

And then you like have it in your mouth too. There's like a, like threads hanging from here. Um, it's not my. It's not my kind of joke. So I think immediately I'm rethinking a business relationship. I'm rethinking. I'm thinking about whether or not I'm telling people what I saw. Because I think it would be harmful for me to not. For me to not inform people who are also close to you.

[TP]

Yeah, to me. Oh, so you're putting a warning out on me, like, hey, yeah, I don't know if you guys experienced this with tp, but she was nibbling on my underwear everywhere.

[Sid]

I think I'm telling. I'm like, dming, Scotty, I'm finding a way to reach out to your mom and dad. Cause you're going home soon. I'm like, y' all gotta know what's on the way.

[TP]

Hey, have y' all ever seen, like, random nibble marks on any.

[Sid]

You, like, blaming chip and yams? And I'm like.

[TP]

I'm like, yeah, this has been happening for years.

[Sid]

What would you do?

[TP]

I would immediately, like, just dismiss you. I would act like I didn't see it. And I would let you.

[Sid]

For what?

[TP]

No, no, no. Hear me out. I let you finish your story. I would, like, act like I didn't see it. I would let the situation die down to nothing. I would let maybe an hour or so go by. We've talked about other things. I made you think that I didn't notice. I would then later over dinner ask you what the fuck were you doing? And I want to see me catch you off guard with it. It's called patience.

[Sid]

F that I gotta call people our right in the moment. Some things. Yeah, I feel you. Like, oh, wait, but you being in my closet, I don't even know how I pretend I didn't see that. Cause the way that that room is set up, you gotta go into the room, hook a right hook another right to go into the bathroom, which then has the closet deep within it. So for you to be in there, I can't act like I didn't see you. Like, you have to.

[TP]

Also, how do I get out of there? There's only one way in and one way out. Like, there's no way for me to get out of there without you questioning, like, hey, what are you doing snooping around the room? Meanwhile, one time, I walked my dog. I come back sitting body and the dog pyre. Like, everybody was in the room. I walked my dog. I come back, and nobody's pyre's not barking. Sid and Mahdi are like, randomly just not in the room anymore.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

I'm like, oh, open my door. Comfortably in my bed. Everyone. The whole family.

[Sid]

Yeah, that would be funny.

[TP]

It was funny because I was so shocked.

[Sid]

No, that was what we wanted.

[TP]

Y' all were quiet. You've never been that quiet for that long.

[Sid]

I was like holding Fire's mouth cuz he was starting to bark, you know. You know how they both get to barking when the door makes a noise? And so I'm holding his mouth, he's like, don't do that.

[TP]

Actually, it's not worth the jokes for you to suffocate the Frenchie.

[Sid]

And he's a Frenchie. You know, they have trouble breathing. So I'm like, nose and mouth.

[TP]

I'm like, goodness. We wanted obviously to get Sequoia something for her retirement. We, you know, went to the store and we did a normal thing. We looked for a retirement card. And, you know, this is. I've never, like, really experienced doing this before, so it's my first time. And man, perfect timing because you were right there with me. We're in there and we're shopping for this card, and we're just trying to find the best option for Sequoia. Someone who's retiring their current and temporary career, as all athletes do, and you retire from one. And for some, if you have been in any sport that men have played in, pretty much professionally, you would be able to retire probably for good. And there's these special circumstances where, you know, women's basketball players, they. They have to retire to then start a different career. And all the retirement cards were like, I hope your life is so wonderful and you get to travel the world and, like, enjoy doing nothing. And then we were like, oh, that's not.

[Sid]

It was like a checklist. It was like, enjoy kicking your feet up. Waking up. Wake up.

[TP]

Yawn. Yeah, go nap. Yeah, eat some snacks.

[Sid]

It was just like a repeat.

[TP]

And I'm like, oh, that doesn't seem right either. Shut that one. The next one was like, similar. Live out the rest of your day as well. We're like, she's in her 30s, not good. Like, let's pivot from that one. So what we're trying to say right now, Hallmark, is that there's no cards for people retiring to move on to a different career.

[Sid]

Yeah, yeah, we need a WNBA retirement card.

[TP]

Yeah, we need a W retirement collab.

[Sid]

Ooh, we'll start it.

[TP]

Yeah, we will.

[Sid]

Or we'll just start a women's basketball one. Period.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Cause even if they were overseas, like, it's like, hey, congrats on everything thus far. 20 years professionally to the Game you love. But good luck tomorrow as you start your new job at wherever the fuck is you need to work.

[TP]

There's no way you're going to survive off of what you made long. But thank you for pioneering and doing everything that you have to get to women. Women's basketball, to where it is today.

[Sid]

Yeah. Yeah.

[TP]

I'm sure the next generation will greatly appreciate it, but for you.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Hey, Another great thing is that we were all pretty much mandated to get our degree before you could go to the W, so we have our education to fall back on, which shout out to the ladies of the W having that education.

[Sid]

Yeah. Women's athletes in general, though.

[TP]

Women athletes in general. Just women in general.

[Sid]

Making sure that you. Yeah, yeah. Making sure you have a. A backup plan. Speaking of women's basketball players, man, not

[TP]

only are they changing the world, Right. They are literally saving lives. Yeah. So over the weekend, there was. Or maybe last week.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

There was a sinkhole in Omaha, Nebraska. And who comes to the rescue? Not first responders. Not anybody seemingly, to the naked eye, licensed or trained in this matter. Two Omaha women's basketball players pulled up, risk their lives, crossing that lane to get to the side to pull this man out of the sinkhole. You just jumped right into action and, you know, really responded very quickly. Like, it's honestly so impressive that these ladies. Sorry if we're butchering your name here, but, Olivia, you want to go for it?

[Sid]

Yeah. I was about to say we could just say it a couple different ways and sure, we'll be right. Borsudski.

[TP]

Borsudski.

[Sid]

Borsudsky. I feel like that's pretty cool. I think that Olivia Borsutski are one of those that we said. And then Ezra Kurban. Kirban. Kirban.

[TP]

Kirban.

[Sid]

So it's got to be one of them. But those were the two players shout

[TP]

out to you guys, because that was incredible.

[Sid]

That was really cool. And the fact that, you know, just them seeing it, like, the. The awareness, the court vision, for real, really, if one of them's not getting playing time, like the coach, you gotta at least see. Look, they're like, hey, they're surveying a whole scene. No, you gotta get them some burn the next game. Because they saw what's happening. They're pulling up after people. They, like, pull around or they cut.

[TP]

They're on the outside of the lane going in the opposite direction. They pull around untouched. Yeah, yeah, they saw it. Like how Ambulance perfectly pulled that off. Yeah, they pulled off that maneuver. Cross three lanes to get over to the side, perpendicular to where they were.

[Sid]

When there were people who pull. Who. Who. Put it in reverse. Put it in reverse, Terry. They backed up when they saw the sinkhole, which, naturally, if you're in a car, behind the cars that go in, you're gonna. You're gonna back up. But just the awareness and to be so young and jump into action was really cool. That's the kind of stuff that, like, me and Mari, like, if we see anything crazy happening, we're just like, okay, Angela Bassett's about to come out. Cause this is 911. If you're seeing stuff like that, like, Paris Angela Bassett.

[TP]

No, but for real, though, we do love 911 in the way that she grabbed that man and literally, like, hoisted him. He was coming out the sinkhole.

[Sid]

She, like, throws him up and spins him on her finger. She just starts doing basketball. I'm like, how is she scribbling him?

[TP]

But really awesome job.

[Sid]

That was crazy. That was really crazy. Yeah. Shout out to them.

[TP]

Sinkholes are just terrifying to me. They're like my.

[Sid]

Say no to sinkholes. Vote no on sinkholes.

[TP]

Like, you know, everyone had a childhood fear of, like, quicksand. Like, no one's ever seen quicksand. But, like, if they were like, hey, what don't you want to touch? You were like, hot lava. Definitely not hot lava. Definitely not quicksand. You were just, like, naming off fears of yours. You're like. You would never see hot lava or quicksand. Probably not until your adult years, I think. Certainly not in New Orleans, Louisiana.

[Sid]

I'm gonna say. Y' all don't. Y' all don't have quicksand. I think in, like, one of the Carolinas, there's quicksand. Yeah. Like, I don't know if we have stuff, but what is it you're supposed to do with quicksand? You're not supposed to fight it.

[TP]

Yeah. You're not supposed to fight it.

[Sid]

Yeah. There's just. There are just too many things to. Too many things to remember to stay alive.

[TP]

No, it's okay. You're doing so good, though. Look at you. I was just trying to help you.

[Sid]

Speaking of. Look at me. What if this wasn't me right now sitting in front of you?

[TP]

I'll be terrified of you.

[Sid]

Because I was cloned?

[TP]

Because it's not you.

[Sid]

Because I was cloned. Yeah. You think you would be able to tell?

[TP]

Yeah, I would certainly be able to

[Sid]

tell if you were cloned, but how would you know?

[TP]

There's, like, small micro movements that your face makes. There's certain things that, like, I know you would certainly say if you're missing those moments where you're not saying something that I'm like, she would have had an outburst here. I'm like, looking at you. Like, are you good?

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

There'd be just certain things that, like, I would pick up on your body language. If it wasn't matching, I would be looking at you. Hella crazy. What's your experience with cloning? Like, are you looking into it? Like, what?

[Sid]

No, no, no, no. People were just talking about Jim Carrey, like, possibly being cloned. You saw him at like, what was it? The Cesar Awards. Cesar Awards in Paris. And people were questioning if that was really him. He said he looked so different. Like, either he had a lot of work done or that's simply not him. The eyes aren't the same, all these things. Fans speculated that his eye color looked lighter when he was signing autographs with his right hand. People were like, he's left handed, though. And there was an old clip of him on David Letterman where he admitted he had used decoys to avoid paparazzi in the past. But I'm like, oh. And people also started saying, like, it was AI a celebrity makeup artist and a drag queen.

[TP]

Did somebody claim it?

[Sid]

Didn't say it.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

A celebrity makeup artist who's also. Who's a drag queen. They're known for their elaborate transformations of celebs. And they posted on Instagram claiming that they impersonated Carrie. I don't buy it. Because what if everybody's in on it? Just like, covering up like, no, no, that was me. Yeah, but what if somebody paid you to say that that was you?

[TP]

Right. Cause you would seem like a likely candidate to do it.

[Sid]

Cause if they are cloning people, which they said is in the files.

[TP]

Yeah, they said Britney Spears isn't.

[Sid]

Right.

[TP]

Actually. Brittany and files.

[Sid]

Yeah. What'd you say that they said, like, her teeth or something?

[TP]

Yeah, something about, like, your teeth. Like, when you age, your. Your nose ever stops changing, your ears never stop changing.

[Sid]

Can you go like this with your nose? Make your nostrils bigger? Not as much faster?

[TP]

No, no, I can't do it fast.

[Sid]

Can you make your ears go up? Oh, you could do that one. I can't do that one as much anymore.

[TP]

I have to move my eyebrows when I do a little bit.

[Sid]

Is this one moving?

[TP]

Yeah, that one is moving. Can you do the eyebrow thing? One eyebrow up like the Rock? Can you do the other one?

[Sid]

I need to work on it like this. People who can express so much with their face.

[TP]

Yeah, okay. You know all the cool first grade party tricks. Hey, for audio. This sucks.

[Sid]

Oh, can you do an iflip? I've never done it, but I'm willing to try it right now with you. What? Where they flip their.

[TP]

Oh my God. No.

[Sid]

Is it out? Is it out a little? It feels out.

[TP]

It sure it is. You're not even pointing towards me. You knew that. All for nothing because you weren't even pointing at me.

[Sid]

I'm so scared right now, but I'm willing to do it for the babysitters. It's like they didn't ask.

[TP]

No, they're not. Nobody's asking. Literally we're all sitting here puzzled.

[Sid]

Audio, audio.

[TP]

Not you. Trying to get audio on your side now. You're so toxic. It's so weird.

[Sid]

Britney Spears come in singing Toxic. We're like, that's not you. You're not her. There was a kid who would do that. He ate his boogers. Like I would catch him eating his boogers. I'm just like, I wanna know where he is in life. Cause that's not a thing that you just do as a kid and you move on from. You're doing some different weird shit. You've escalated.

[TP]

Yeah. It's like what is the. What's the 33 year old version of flipping your eyelids and picking your boogers? You're doing that.

[Sid]

Yo. What is it? Tell us, matter of fact, if you used to flip your ey. Tell us where you are now in

[TP]

life and what's your new thing? What do you want to now? We're dying to know.

[Sid]

But yeah, like, what do you think about the clone situation? You've seen a couple of them. Like you think that first of all,

[TP]

I'm like, this is my thing. The last time I saw or thought about Jim Carrey was in the Grinch. Never once thought about him being cloned. You showed me the video. I'm completely caught off guard. I didn't know cloning was a thing. There's only like a few animals that we know that have been cloned. I think. What, Dolly the sheep or something? That was the first shout out to Dolly for being the first. I don't think she lasted very long. Oh, but she was a clone on a technicality. Actually, this might be untrue. Her. Tom Brady no. Didn't clone his dog. He is genetically cloning his dog though.

[Sid]

Oh, I do.

[TP]

Which is different. I remember hearing that and I would totally do that.

[Sid]

I think that there's so much stuff that we're. As we see what's going on in the world, we're not going to be privy to some information, like, we're not in that text bracket to know if cloning is a real thing that started or if they're just going to keep speculating that it can happen with humans in the future. Like, we. We don't know. Like, y' all aren't going to tell us. They're not sending, you know, mail to people to.

[TP]

I'm sure there was, like, WI Fi way before they told us. Like, they were just using it amongst themselves.

[Sid]

For sure.

[TP]

It was about to leak. They're like, shit, we got to launch this for the world. And then, bam, the rest of us have WI Fi. But also keep in mind, none of us would have ever been able to regulate or check if they had WI fi. We didn't have WI fi capable devices. So really, they could have been WI fi and all the way around us until they told us. We don't know. So it'd be really. I don't know. If you can believe in WI fi.

[Sid]

Yeah. Then you can believe in cloning.

[TP]

Why not?

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

But also, why would you. Why would you clone Jim Carrey? Like, what's. Like, what do you get out of cloning Jim Carrey and sending him to the.

[Sid]

What awards you get for whatever. Whoever his fans are. I can make him say things that are in line with what we believe and see if I can slowly sway them to my side.

[TP]

Okay.

[Sid]

I mean, that's one angle.

[TP]

That's an angle. That's certainly an angle.

[Sid]

You could also.

[TP]

Could you imagine if somebody, like, cloned Donald Trump and he was like, gay rights for all. I don't want to waste my money on cloning that.

[Sid]

Wait, gay rights for all.

[TP]

Oh, oh, I don't know.

[Sid]

Civil rights for gays.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

No, I like gay rights for all.

[TP]

Yeah, we should. Everyone should be gay. Any way you want to spin that.

[Sid]

If.

[TP]

If Trump's saying that, we know he typically wouldn't be saying that. So you would be like, oh, damn, I think he's cloned.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

I don't think that's Orange is cloned for sure. Or another theory.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

What if Jim Carrey is being funny?

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Because he is a comedian. He puts on a mask by himself, starts his rumor by himself just to see what the reaction.

[Sid]

100.

[TP]

Certainly it shouldn't. Like, it would matter. I guess it would get some reaction. His face was looking a little thick, respectfully.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

And thicken like a icing way. Not thick. And like a thick way. Like not two seas. Like thick icing.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Like he looked painted on almost, right. Or like a wax figurine. Like I should say.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

So who's to say it isn't him underneath there? Because the voice was similar to me. But also there's a lot of people that can impersonate other people's voices without any issues at all.

[Sid]

Okay, I like that. There was also people said that. So man on the Moon is the name of the film. They said Jim Carrey is. He becomes Andy Kaufman. Like he's Andy Kaufman who was this performance artist. Like he didn't like comedy in the way that it was known. He was like, I'm not a comic. I've never told a joke was one of his quotes. He's like an anti comedian. He essentially would blur the lines between what's art and what's life. So I feel like if Jim Carrey played someone in a movie who was like that in real life, I think that he's a fan of performance. I mean, you could tell by his work he's a fan of performance art. I would say. So, yeah, this could totally be just me acting out something to see what people's reactions will be.

[TP]

He is a more theatrical comedian too. Like a lot of people are like funny with their voices and small mannerisms. He was always like really out there and exaggerated in his movements as well. So yeah, this is just like maybe an exaggerated version of like just him older as well. Like, I'm sure you're not moving the same like you did in Ace Ventura and things like that. But yeah, I mean, I also.

[Sid]

I'mma preface this with saying I don't know shit about Jim Carrey's off screen life.

[TP]

Same.

[Sid]

I like Jim Carrey as an actor, so don't come telling me about something that he did. Like, how could you like him? And he did this. Y' all. People don't know every single thing, single thing there is to know about artists or celebrities that they like. I feel like it's to the point where, like, when we take pictures with people, like with celebs, like, you gotta be like, just in case it ever resurfaces. I'm like suspicious of them. I'm like, so you can never say why were you in this picture with them? It looked like, no, I don't know shit about that person. I just. They asked for a picture or whatever the case was. But back to Jim. I don't know anything about his off screen life. He's hilarious. Like, I Love his movies. I love his sort of his brand of humor.

[TP]

I can see that for you.

[Sid]

I feel like he has a lot of, like, depth to him. I feel like he was, like, the way Robin Williams was.

[TP]

Okay.

[Sid]

Like, there was somebody who said this. Niecy Nash. I was listening to this interview of hers. Like, this was some years ago when I was just starting to take acting classes, and she was, like, talking about why she loved comedy, and she's like, you know, great comedians can make you cry, but a great dramatic actor is not gonna typically make you laugh. And I'm like, yeah, I really find that to be true. Like, people look at some brands of humor are just, like, easy and, like, boring to me. It's like, yeah, I'll laugh at it. That was just vulgar. Cool.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

You know, a good fart joke. Cool.

[TP]

Got it.

[Sid]

You know, But I like when people are like. It's layers to it. I feel like he's one of those layered actors that I really respect, but I'm like, yeah. With knowing that he played a role like this in a movie, I'm like, we got first. We should watch it. I've never seen it.

[TP]

I've never seen it.

[Sid]

You never seen it? I've never heard of it. Yeah, I hadn't either, until I saw people talking about him liking Andy Kaufman. But that's just another theory that this could be performance art. But, yeah, y', all, we have no real answer to this. Obviously. Yeah, they didn't tell us.

[TP]

You can also put what you think. Like, I would like to see some theories. Like, I didn't know much about this at all.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

So, yeah, speaking of tv, we've been watching a lot of, like, random tv, and we stumbled upon the show called the Floor. It's definitely a women's shelter fave. We like watching it and actively participating. Like, if there's a conversation coming on and the countdown starts counting down, there's silence in the room, and people just start blurting out answers as they pop up. Anyway, there was a category about baseball teams, like, professional baseball teams, and a lot of them were, you know, the majors that we're all familiar with. Like, the Yankees logo popped up, and, like, the Cubs and, like, the Astros, and then they started getting into some of these minor league teams, and it reminded me that we had this team in New Orleans called the Nola Baby Cakes, and we had this, like, scary as shit mascot. It was like, this baby, this King Cake baby. But if that baby in Chucky, like, had a baby, it would be this baby. Without hair. It was terrifying. It made me want to go down the rabbit hole of, you know, naming some of my newfound favorite. Because I just looked this up the other day. Minor league baseball teams. And Sid made me hold this for so long because I couldn't read them out loud in real time when I really wanted to rip them off. So here I am. Okay, for starters, we have the rubber ducks. We have the tourists.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

We have the Shuckers. We have the rumble ponies. We have the hot rods.

[Sid]

Why are these names, the Lookouts so different from pro?

[TP]

Because you have to think, like, they

[Sid]

got to bring the fun.

[TP]

You run out. Yeah. The Wood Ducks.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

The Chihuahuas. The Sea Wolves.

[Sid]

Not just the dog breed.

[TP]

The Aqua Socks. Like the Red Sox and the White Sox were taken. Yeah, we're going to go aqua. The Woodpeckers.

[Sid]

Oh, okay. Woodpeckers are cool.

[TP]

That is hilarious, actually, for a men's baseball team. The Hammerheads. The Blue Claws. The Jumbo Shrimp. The Crawdads. The strippers.

[Sid]

Yes.

[TP]

But there we go. A fish is their mascot, so.

[Sid]

Oh, maybe she's. She's not washing up, but. No,

[TP]

that's insane.

[Sid]

Yo, one time. Hey,

[TP]

hey. Just keep this between us. What are you about to say, though?

[Sid]

I want to say my first strip club experience. What a waste.

[TP]

Oh, really?

[Sid]

Yeah. I was in Minnesota.

[TP]

Oh, nice.

[Sid]

So the second one was Atlanta. So I'm here. I'm all about supporting women.

[TP]

Me, too.

[Sid]

I go to strip clubs just to cheer them on, make sure life's good. One time.

[TP]

I never knew you to go to a strip club, so I'm actually learning something right now.

[Sid]

Wait. Pure entertainment. I love art. What can I say?

[TP]

It is really cool.

[Sid]

It is.

[TP]

They're so strong.

[Sid]

They're insane.

[TP]

You try to hold yourself like a flag on a flagpole. You can't.

[Sid]

No, truly. So when I went, the girl was. She was dancing. She was dancing on me. I didn't ask for her. She just stopped. I'm like, lady, fine, If we must. So she's dancing. I lean over. It's loud in there. Obviously, I lean over. No, I lean over, but it's like she's bent over and dances. So for me to lean over, I'm like. I said, you from around here?

[TP]

No way. So you had to, like, say that through her whole torso, her head. It wasn't on top of her hips. It was in front of her person this way.

[Sid]

I was like, yo, you. I was like, you from here. She was weak. She stopped being.

[TP]

And also, there's like, club music going on. Like, it's loud. That's gotta be one of the most uncomfortable positions.

[Sid]

No, I hope that she still just, like, thinks about that because we both share such a deep. That I feel like. I don't know. I feel like I don't even know if I'm me right now or if we. Destiny swapped. That laugh brought us so close together that I'm now her. I'm still stripping somewhere.

[TP]

Stripping is another thing that you retire from that we need to make cards for. Cause that's like, probably WNBA players and strippers have, I guess, a lot in common when it comes to the.

[Sid]

Yeah. Fighting for ones. Just step of the way. Just a little bit more shout out. Cba.

[TP]

Anyway, strippers was one. Here we go. Sea Dogs.

[Sid]

Well, yeah. Keep that between us.

[TP]

No, I don't think. I'm not gonna say anything. It's safe here. The Emperors, the Red Sox, the Lake Bees, the Rail Riders.

[Sid]

I don't know what they. What they mean by that.

[TP]

The Space Cowboys.

[Sid]

Skateboarders. Space Cowboys. Okay.

[TP]

The Smokies, the Mud Hens, the Drillers.

[Sid]

So how many more, by chance I do want to ask, because if we were at home, I would have walked off to start.

[TP]

No, I'm almost. I'm almost happier that we were forced into this situation. So I. You're getting held accountable with the camera. And we'll be able to edit most of those out because some of them weren't really worth sharing. But the fact that you had to sit through all of them made me feel good. So what was your favorite?

[Sid]

Shivers. That's hilarious that they would even have that, even if it has another meaning. It's like, yeah, we just. We can't go with that one, though. Hope you understand.

[TP]

One of the things that we did in the women's shelter throughout AU was watching this show called Traitors. It's not a secret. It's a very popular show. Have loved it.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Oh, we need to pause to stop and say this is a spoiler alert. This season of Traitors was probably one of the most frustrating things as a viewer, but also, I couldn't imagine being an editor or producer on this to be like, okay, how are we going to make this interesting? Because these people are not getting it. Like, the only reason the Traitors got out is because they started, like, ratting on each other.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

The faithfuls weren't figuring it out.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Remotely.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

And it was the most, like, painstaking thing to watch. And the crazy thing is, is you had to wait a week in between each episode to then watch another painstaking episode of People Not Figure this Out.

[Sid]

It was so crazy. We were talking about so many people. You were like, well, I mean, you can't confess to murder if you didn't. Portia, like, said she murder, but it literally was a mistake. What is it?

[TP]

It was straight up a mistake.

[Sid]

You can't have three errors of confessing. People are gonna vote you out.

[TP]

Like, last night, I was hanging out in the tarot in the what? The kitchen. You're like, no, I think she just said tarot. And she was like, yeah. When we murdered. Wait, you murdered somebody? She was, like, as faithful as we all killed somebody at the round table. She was being so genuine, though. Like, just a misspeak. But, yeah, definitely got her out. I was hoping to see her on there longer.

[Sid]

I know, because she's so funny.

[TP]

She is hilarious. But honestly forgot about that part because I was just so disappointed in just anyone. The love island grew. I wasn't a huge.

[Sid]

Like, the last six. The last six, seven. I was just like, this is nuts.

[TP]

I love Tara and Johnny, though.

[Sid]

The Olympics, they do scooters I didn't like. That was actually so annoying to watch. Huh.

[TP]

Why didn't you like them?

[Sid]

They ended up voting at the end. Remember Natalie? It wasn't for Rob. It wasn't to vote for Rob, I don't think. Or maybe it was at that point, but Natalie has said Natalie was the Indian one that was, like, strong, and she was talking about her strength and wanting to come across as, like, knowledgeable, powerful, all of this. And so she carries herself a certain way and talks about stuff a certain way, and it can be perceived as whatever sometimes maybe, like, she would be a traitor. So she was talking to Tara and thought getting her on the same page and that she would speak up. They got to the roundtable, she totally switched up on her. Because, remember, Natalie was just staring at her at the. At the table after that. And so we were like, what?

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

So then when it became Tara's turn and she's trying to convince Mara to, like, look at Rob and to look at Eric, she's like, now not. She's not seeing that they did the same thing that you were doing. Like, yeah, now you feel convinced that it's them. That's what somebody was trying to tell you two weeks ago.

[TP]

But the whole cast was kind of irritating me.

[Sid]

Oh, my gosh.

[TP]

With, like, all the Easter eggs that people that were getting murdered were, like, leaving Jam Jam. On her way out. He was like, it's Lisa. It's Lisa. It's Lisa.

[Sid]

It's Lisa.

[TP]

And you're like, okay, he's gotta know something. Then they have to, like, kill two people before they find out. Yeah, it was Lisa. Also. Lisa was voting for Rob at that point. So was.

[Sid]

Let me see.

[TP]

Candace.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Candace voted for Rob out of the blue for no reason. Two times in a row. She ended up being a traitor. Another traitor. And Lisa also said Rob was the traitor.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

And no one's listening. No one's paying attention to these clues. A lot of people in editing, I know this was, like, behind the scenes, like, conversation. So many people were like, hey, should we look into this? And nobody actually did.

[Sid]

Nobody.

[TP]

I'm like, that is such a. Like, that's something that I would definitely look into. If somebody is a traitor and they're salty that they're out, like, as a trader, you're not trying to get out the game. As a faithful. You don't think that you're on the block because you're certainly not a traitor. But the traders are, like, salty when they get put out the game, especially when somebody that knows their identity votes for them. So why wouldn't you listen to that person? Why wouldn't you then pay attention to the people that that person voted for? I'm going down the list. Like, who have they voted for in the past?

[Sid]

Yeah. That's why I'm like, okay, this has to just be set up to piss the audience off, because what kind of buffoonery is going on? And at the end, just to be like, if I'm Maura and I'm talking to Rob, Eric said my name at the table. So now I'm wondering, why did you say my. Like, you've been very, very buddy, buddy in my face. It is a game at the end of the day, too, which people forgot on that show. But, like, all right, if we got our little group and we're going after them, why are you telling such and such people in that group that you think I did it? That's weird. It seems like you're trying to get the heat off of you. That's how a logical person should think. So then she goes to Rob, and Rob is telling her, look, we just gotta get out Johnny and Tara, and then we can get Eric out. Or, like, let's get Tara out, and then we can get Eric. Cause at this point, Johnny, why do

[TP]

you think the order matters? Why do you think the order matters?

[Sid]

Which is why a thinking person would have been like, look, well, if we Both agree that it's Eric. Cause he acted like he agreed. If we both agree it's Eric, and we're gonna get Eric. Let's get him second. Cause I'm really not sure about Tara, but we both agree on Eric, but her just being obsessed with his looks or something. Probably there was something going on. I was like, girl, get this girl up on my face. She hadn't made a smart decision yet. Talking about, I want my mom to be proud. She's not. How can she be?

[TP]

It was so hard to watch.

[Sid]

What are you giving her to work with?

[TP]

It was really so hard to watch.

[Sid]

If that was your. If that was your ch. Kid, what are you saying? I'm like, no, no.

[TP]

Oh, my God. I was just sitting there so, like, I couldn't even watch it. I knew it was gonna happen.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

I just. I started going, like, folding my laundry and stuff because I just. I needed to just hear it. I didn't want to watch it. I want to see look on her face, because I'm like, you're about to be stumped, and you were crazy for whatever reason.

[Sid]

She's like, well, all of them, when they're like, I just can't believe they lied to me. Hey, baby. This entire series that's been going for multiple seasons is called Traitors, and so there will, in fact, be some lying and deception going on. You can't be this hurt by, like,

[TP]

if you were in that person's shoes, what would you do to try to win the game?

[Sid]

Would you go tell your friend, hey, like, I'm actually really starting to, like, vibe with you. Like, you're really cool. Like, I want us to hang out past this.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

So I just got to tell you, like, I am one of the truth.

[TP]

There'd be some weird stuff, though, like, if you faked something. Like, if you were like, hey, I'm trying to take care of this person. Like, I. Like, if you opened up to me about something deep. No. Also, like, made it seem like you weren't somebody because of something that you're going through. And it was, like, something that I'm actually emotionally invested into. I think that is messed up. Like, there are certain lies that you can tell within the game, and there's certain lies that you can't say.

[Sid]

That's where Eric said he's like, I guess we just draw our line in the sand at a different point.

[TP]

Fair. And I think that, you know, you see a lot of people go on the show. The first season of Traders is excellent. Really good.

[Sid]

But but are we going on the show to find friends and find love? Why is honesty a thing? Like you're going on there to act and to lie.

[TP]

That's love is one.

[Sid]

So I'm going to tell the best lie I can. I'm sorry if it gets you emotional. I'm trying to win. I. I actually do need this money for something. It's not your business what I need it for, but I need it for something.

[TP]

Or I just wanted like, I want to win the game. I'm competitive. It doesn't matter if there's money on the line, like I'm trying to win.

[Sid]

It's just not personal.

[TP]

If there was no dollars on the line, like, I would still lie to you if I were a trader. Yeah, but it's like, how bad is the lie?

[Sid]

Yeah, but I'm just saying for some of them, you, you're playing the game.

[TP]

If my dog just died and I'm like so upset about my dog being dead now. And you were like, you know, I just went through that last week too. And we're like crying over this and you end up lying about that. I'm looking at you crazy. I'm like, it was that serious for you to make up a whole lie about your fake life?

[Sid]

And I'm laughing, I'm laughing at you with my $250,000 check. I'm like, I was wild for that. I'm gonna be honest. I was wild. But you knew I had to lie on the show.

[TP]

You knew that, but you went out of your way to do that.

[Sid]

No, I didn't go out of my way. It was the perfect opportunity. Your dog, he died. Someone did too.

[TP]

That's actually crazy. Cuz I could never like, I would, I would go on that show and do what I had to do, but certainly not that.

[Sid]

No, you're saying Scama said same after fighting for this.

[TP]

And I said Scamanda.

[Sid]

Stupid.

[TP]

Anyway, so yeah, anyway, I just need to go on traders myself. I just need to go and like, maybe I'll have a different perspective if I go on and see what it's like.

[Sid]

You think people will vote us all fast though?

[TP]

Yeah, I do, unfortunately.

[Sid]

Let's just wanna be a trader.

[TP]

Okay.

[Sid]

No, we can't do a joint win. You do it and then I'll see how it goes.

[TP]

Okay.

[Sid]

I think you would do well. I think either one of us. People will vote us off though, because I think if you're.

[TP]

No, I think I could like play a lot stupider than you. You're in people's faces. I could, like, lay low in the background and be like, wait, what?

[Sid]

You don't think I can lay low? I lay low. I don't talk to some people.

[TP]

No, I know, but I think that you'd be, like, really charismatic. You are charismatic. So I think that you being authentic, I think it would be very hard for you to not be authentic. And so there would be bits and pieces where you would have an outburst because you can't help yourself, and they're gonna be, like, suspicious.

[Sid]

I'm like, all of y' all are dumb.

[TP]

I swear I'm not a traitor. Yeah, of course a trader would say that. But I think that you. I think we would do well in the show if played properly. Also depending on who our cast was.

[Sid]

Yeah, Just regular people. I think the auditions now are for people who are not celebrities. Like, just regular people.

[TP]

Yeah. I need to go.

[Sid]

You're meeting people you don't know, and I've never seen. Ooh, you ought to do it.

[TP]

All right, I'm convinced.

[Sid]

That was easy. Can I have 20 of your earnings?

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Oh, damn. I should ask for 30. My gut. That's why y'. All. Go with your gut. Go with your gut. I was initially gonna say 30. I said, hey, that's a lot to ask for. Y' all just became friends two years ago. Like, three years ago. Four. It's 26. All right. Y' all became friends, but, like, 34 years ago. Mm. So just ask for 20. She said, yeah, though, as y' all heard. And Now I'm down 10%.

[TP]

I know you just. Guys, this is really.

[Sid]

I'm up 20, but I'm down 10 mentally, man, because I'm a miss that, too.

[TP]

This is a lesson, though.

[Sid]

What?

[TP]

Just be prepared for your yeses. You never know when that yes is going to come, everybody. So if you're waiting around for that yes instead of seeking it out, you just never know when you're going to get it. So in this case, Sid. Yes. You can only have 20.

[Sid]

Damn, that's deep.

[TP]

I'm not going to be bargained up.

[Sid]

That's deep. That's so deep.

[TP]

Because at the end of the day, you did lie to me and said that you also were struggling over the death of your dog. So that's crazy.

[Sid]

Yeah, I miss him. Whatever. All right, you know what time it is?

[TP]

It goes down in the dm. It go down. It go down in the dm.

[Sid]

So we got a DM from Amber. Like, she lives in a cold place, I think, because it's A M B U R R. No. That's right, girl. So Amber said, okay. Just wanted to say that I love you both and love the pod. I admit I'm an audio listener, not a computer.

[TP]

Not people fearful to, like, admit that they listen audio I love, but that's

[Sid]

because I have to do so much driving for work. But y' all have been constantly cackling on my drives for my down in the DMs message. I'm getting top surgery soon. Yippee.

[TP]

Congratulations. Congratulations.

[Sid]

Congrats. And my chest is what you might say is very well endowed, so it's gonna be real noticeable after surgery. I've shared with the people that I want to, but would love to get some SID and TP responses that I can use post surgery if people are giving weird looks or asking questions. And to use with all the constant. The constantly question asking teenagers that I work with, you have.

[TP]

I think there's, like, just an obvious joke here. I think that a quick way you can just go about this is you can just say that you had to get something off your chest. And. That is what I would say.

[Sid]

I love that. I think. I don't know. Every time you're dealing with people, if it's men, women, anybody, like, you know how women with big. With big tits will be like, eyes up here, like, telling you to look at them. Just always do that. Make it seem like they're just, like, voluptuous by your. Just, hey, eyes up here. Nasty, like that kind of vibe and keep it pushing, you know?

[TP]

Or quite simply, be like, if somebody asks you a question, be like, well, what do you think?

[Sid]

If you notice they were like that before and they're not like that now.

[TP]

If Amber had two tits and you subtracted two tits, how many tits do you now have?

[Sid]

Exactly. Or just say, like, we're your inspiration. So you wanted to match our cup size. There are a lot of different angles that you could take if you wanted to be in the itty bitty titty committee. That's all good. Or you could just tell people to mind their motherfucking business. That's the one I like to do.

[TP]

Yeah. Because we're really happy for you. This is a huge. I have a friend that had top surgery, and they were expressing, you know, the steps and what it took for them to come to this place.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

And it took a lot, A lot of back and forth, but ultimately they felt like this is what they needed to do.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[TP]

Also, it's. I learned this. It's very okay to, like, grieve something even though you don't want it. So, like, letting go of sports bras was hard and things like that.

[Sid]

Well, you don't even think about.

[TP]

You don't think about that. Like, you could also not want it and miss it.

[Sid]

Yeah, yeah.

[TP]

Like, for an athlete, so. Or they kept their sports bras for a little bit, and so they were. They were ready to part ways with them. So there's a lot that goes into it. And, you know, Amber, congratulations on, you know, coming to this decision. It's very cool. And, you know, whatever it takes for you to be happy in your body, we're thrilled for you. And I hope that, you know, I hope that you don't have to deal with anybody questioning you or giving you a hard time because, you know, you should be celebrated. And, you know, your friends here on unsupervised are very happy for you.

[Sid]

Yeah, I wonder. And I wonder what Amber teaches. Like, I wonder the kid. The kids that. That they work with, like, what would they be saying?

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

You know, but I feel like with teenagers, like, there's a moment to educate there probably. You know, it may be in a. Probably in a light way, but whatever you might see fit, depending on your connection with those kids. But just to, you know, a moment to teach people acceptance. Cause obviously, you're now in a body that you felt like you should have been in. And I can't imagine, like, feeling like that. I mean, I used to dress way more feminine. Sometimes I look in the mirror now, I'm like, you are really a dyke.

[TP]

They dyking.

[Sid]

I'm like, you know, I never saw

[TP]

any two red bones kissing in the backseat.

[Sid]

I'm like, I didn't really see it get in like this for me, but that was me figuring out what I felt more comfortable with. And so for somebody to internally feel like there's someone else, I can't imagine what that. What it feels like to endure that. So I think there's an opportunity there to talk to the teenagers that you work with, and it don't have to be super deep. I'm sure you can find out a way to say it that's fitting for y'. All. It's relatable for you, for yalls relationship to just. Yeah. Teach them acceptance and that, you know, people are different, but ultimately still the same. Let us know how it goes, though.

[TP]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Please, Please.

[TP]

Right back in.

[Sid]

Right back.

[TP]

Amber, best of luck with your recovery. I hope it's complete and quick.

[Sid]

Yeah. Go, Amber.

[TP]

Go, Amber.

[Sid]

[TP]
