01:23:37 Share

Hello guys, welcome back to another episode. I'm Taylor. I'm Sam. So excited to do this kind of part two to last week. Not that I really needed a part two considering it was two hours long, but we just have so much to say all the time. So yeah, we're going to answer your questions. I know. And this is like a topic I really enjoy talking about. Really enjoy. So I don't mind going into another episode talking about birth control. Yeah, I really enjoy it too because as a woman, your entire life is either on your period or about to get your period. Yeah. Yeah.

That that's literally like the only way you live. So I feel like I should talk about it forever. Yep. Me too. So let's get we're going to get to this beginning stuff quick so we can start talking to you guys, even though our quick is like.

still long. Yeah. Can you tell me one thing about you? Yeah. One thing about me is I absolutely hate Uber Eats. Oh. Yeah. Not the slander. No I know usually it's a positive one thing about me but this week it's not because I just feel like every time I get Uber Eats there's always something that goes wrong. I kind of

feel that it's overrated and it makes me feel so fucking lazy only time i ever think it's okay to get uber eats is obviously if you're drunk and you cannot get in your car and go get it but if you're not like just get in your fucking car go get your food because you're gonna end up being 10 times happier if you just go pick it up yourself i will say food wise quality of food always gonna hit better when you get it yourself yes but i like i like when uber eats is a treat like people really uber eats like as their main source of eating yeah and i like it as like a

a tree like a like a something where you just kind of like know you're kind of being like well that's how it usually always is for me but every single time i do it it just doesn't it no i went so i got caught this past weekend and i spent 30 like knowing i'm dead sober whatever i'm just wanted uber eats it because i'm being lazy 30 they forgot like my add-ons

and I ended up paying like all this money for this fucking bowl that was like the size of like my hand. I was like, and I was still hungry after. I will say what I've heard is that if you can, like they're, they're good at giving you refunds. Like, no, they did. I, because I realized after I ate it, I was like, fuck, I added, like I added an extra, like,

on coffee you can get protein but then if you want the vegetables and it's literally four dollars and 50 cents to add on like another protein source but i got the vegetables not the extra protein and i was like fuck i just realized i didn't even get that so i was like you know what refund fuck this yeah i will say like i would say there's like a good like real 50 50 for uber eats if sometimes i'm like like ordering in this food like my favorite restaurant and the other time i'm like

nothing about this was made right no this tastes right it's cold i'm just never gonna do it again i'm gonna get in my car yeah it's it's definitely a risky game that you take when you Uber Eats food um my one thing about me is like a little bit more serious um oh god um i wasn't gonna like talk about this on here yet

And I'm not going to talk about it a lot because that's just like not the episode for it. We're getting real serious real quick in this episode. I just have to like I can't talk about my entire life on here and leave out the like most important thing going on in my life when I'm talking about every other fucking detail. So my one thing about me is that I am single now and I don't have a boyfriend anymore.

Dude, the amount of jaws that are probably dropping right now listening to this. And like there's no like big tea like to tell y'all nothing that I'm like. Like I said, this could be like this is just like not the episode to get into it. But I just like have to make that known because I can't keep a secret from the pod. Like I can't explain everything in my life and leave out the biggest thing. Yeah. That happened. So can I add on to that? One thing about you is that your breakups are never like.

Like, crazy fucking story things. And I feel like... Yeah, like, it's just... It's not that deep. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely, like, been a little bit brutal, I must say. Like, it fucking sucks. But, like, you just gotta keep on keeping on. But, yeah. That just... Just to give some background on me as I talk. And, like I said, I'm not gonna, like, get into it. But, yeah. Yeah. And he's listening to this right now, I bet. Oh, 1,000%. So... Oh, well. Like I said, no, like...

bad blood know our feelings it just like is what it is and it sucks yeah we don't need you to be sad right now so we're gonna keep going um favorites of the week my favorite of the week is my sephora haul of all the things that i got oh my god mine is also gonna be makeup shut up okay so mine is the patrick ta eyeshadow palette fucking amazing i'm not good at eyeshadow at all but i really think the quality of your eyeshadow makes a huge difference on like if you can actually do a good job with it because i just have like basic ass

eyeshadow and I feel like the quality of this product just blends so well and it makes me feel like I'm doing a better job at my eyeshadow. And it has a cream palette inside the eyeshadow thing for eyeliner. So it's like a two-for-one special. I was so happy about it. My favorite that I got is the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer. This is by far the best concealer I've ever used for my girlies with like, you guys know I don't have perfect skin, so...

I feel like my rec is decently valuable because like my skin is not perfect and it actually looks fucking incredible and blends like so good and covers things. I used it when I did my Halloween makeup. My Halloween makeup like was probably the best makeup I've ever done in my life and my base routine like it actually looked so well even though my skin wasn't looking that perfect and that concealer like really, really did it for me. I almost didn't get it because I didn't want to like

spend a lot of money on it because sometimes I struggle with buying base things that like look good on people on TikTok because their skin is fucking perfect and I'm like I'm really gonna buy that and like not think it like ate the same but this does does eat the same I will say I'm kind of tempted to go back and get the foundation that goes with it because I like the concealer so much and I feel like when you use the products that go together it's like yeah they work really well together because they're meant to go together but it fucking works

I can't even explain. It's great. Yeah, I feel like I go through these phases of just wanting to buy a shit ton of makeup and then not thinking I need any for a while. And recently, like, when we went, I was like, I just want to buy a lot of makeup right now. That's why I can't go in Sephora. Yeah. Going in Sephora, like, really doesn't to me. I got, what, four things? Yeah, four things. It was a splurge moment, but it's okay. We'll get through it. Whatever.

Anyways, pop culture. Yeah, I have one thing that I saw that I thought was really interesting. I wrote it down.

Oh, so there was this thing that happened on TikTok that then I saw on... It was, like, on the news, but, like, I saw it all on TikTok. Like, this girl made a TikTok crying about how... How are you supposed to have time for anything? Like, her job is a two-hour commute away. She has to commute two hours. That's the only job that she could find. And she's, like, working till death. And she was, like, crying. She's, like, I just don't get it. Like, how am I supposed to, like, live? She's, like, stressed. And it was on the news. And this guy was, like, this generation, so soft. Like...

Just work. Like, making fun of her. Just, like, making fun of this young girl. And everyone on TikTok was kind of, like, defending this girl, being like, all these old-ass people...

not even that old they're probably 40 but just like any went a little bit above us they're like you worked and then at like 25 like you literally had kids and like bought a house yeah they're working like like this girl is working like a fucking animal and probably can't even pay rent anywhere yeah you know they're like yeah it was easy for you to work that much you could buy a house

people can't even pay fucking rent and I felt so bad for this girl because she's like literally having a mental breakdown and then she was on the news and they're like this fucking idiot girl like in her job and I just thought it was so nice that the internet like came to her defense yeah you never really see that anymore you never see that anymore but I think as like a younger generation when the older people are trying to like be like

these people in their TikTok. Like, they were all like, shut the fuck up. Like, this girl literally, like, she's working all day, can't afford anything. And then everyone's like saying how like the minimum wage is like $15. And I'm like, that's so crazy because in Florida, it's still seven something. Dude, I can't even imagine doing a two hour commute every day. Because it's the only job that she could, like, she couldn't get another job. That's like insanity. No, I felt so bad for her. Like, I really felt so bad for her. It was like really...

It was really bad. I know. I know. Really bad. Fuck. And I just like news people can fuck all the way off. Yeah. I just thought it was so rude. My one thing that I wrote down for the hot gossip was Skims is like popping the fuck off right now, dude. I was just doing. But for two reasons. Yes. The men's line. That's what. First and foremost. Yes. Dude. Nick Boza. Oh my God.

I'm so glad you brought that up. Tell me how I was looking at that the whole morning and honestly all week and didn't even think of that as podcast topic. That men skims ad. Stop. She knows what she's doing, dude. She knows what the fuck she's doing. To make a product for men that is so catered

to both like no yeah like it's a great men's product like I if I had a boyfriend I'd buy him no that's what I'm saying dude it's so convincing for a girl to buy because I'm like fuck now I need to buy that for my boyfriend no those ads were something else and she's the official underwear partner of the NBA yeah in WNBA it's insane what a fucking queen and then girl boss town made a video on it yeah and she was saying how they just capitalize on the joke so much because it's such a thing like

They all like date the NBA players and people like give them shit for it. They're fucking taking over, bro. Oh, you want to make fun of me for dating like professional athletes? I sponsor the entire NBA now. Yeah. Damn. Insane. No, I'm obsessed. I'm upset. Men's skims is probably the best thing that's happened in this lifetime. Oh, never seen a better product launch.

Just the campaign itself. It's just like, why don't we get the hottest athletes, put them in our underwear that girls are obsessed with. Skin tight, naked, oiled up. Right when they're trying to get their boyfriend a Christmas gift. Oh my God. Why don't we do that? Oh yeah. Duh.

It was great. And then also the fucking the bra now to the nipple bra. Nipple bra. OK, here's my the nipple bra was right before the men's. Yes, it was a they're not fucking stupid. The nipple bra was like, oh, my God, look what Skims did. The real thing was this. Yeah, this was the real thing. The NBA know that this was the real thing. The nipple bra got everyone talking. I love the nipple bra, though. I don't.

It's I don't, but I love what I love the hustle and I love the, I love what she made. I would never buy that. I've seen so many, they're really pushing the ads and campaigns for that on my TikTok specifically. And I've seen so many girls doing try ons of that bra. And when they tried on,

It looks like they're not even wearing a bra. It just looks like they're regular boobs with nipples and it looks so good. Like there's no seams or anything sticking out. Like it looks so seamless. And I'm like, I know I have a boob job now. I don't need that. But if I didn't have a boob job and I was still an A cup, I would 100% buy that. Maybe I'll have to see. You should. So that it looks like you're just like naturally boobed.

biggest yes no that's literally what it looks like because they'll be wearing obviously their fuck the fucking campaigns are the bra and then also a skim shirt like you can probably do with any shirt but they wear the bra they put the shirt on and then it looks like there's no bra underneath and it just looks like you have like a d cup

I think this whole thing has made me with skims being in the news. I own one skims thing and then I have like a skims dupe shirt. Dude, the skims? No, the skims dupe shirt I have is my favorite shirt. I just think and the skims dresses I have. I have a million skims dupes and I'm obsessed. The dupe dresses I have 20 million out of 10. Love them. But I think what this campaign and her being in the news so much has made me realize is that I need more skims. I'm obsessed with skims and I think I need more.

every single skims item this world has ever seen. If it's skims, I need it. All of it. The most recent campaign where she was wearing the nipple bra, she was wearing like a

long legging set with a long sleeve set and it just looked like she was just this hourglass. I was like, I need that set. I need, I will throw away every single piece of loungewear that I own and get only skims. I've only ever gone skims for last Christmas and I'm like, mom, just do it again. Get me the skims. That's all I want for Christmas. It's all I want. I have one pair of white boxers and a bralette that I think I lost in like the move. Yeah. I don't know where that is.

this whole brand like i'm just obsessed with skims but i will say a hundred percent the nipple bra before the men's and the nba thing was so on purpose yeah so on purpose like it just made it a month of skims and i'm obsessed did you see any celebrity halloween costumes that you liked oh shit no but i loved the amount of people that were copying justin and hayley's photo yes people did it really really good that was insane people the effort with that oh my god yeah um

I loved Kourtney Kardashian. What was she? Kim Kardashian at a Met Gala, which is iconic because... Do you think half their fight is fake? Dude, no. Uh...

I think it's drawn out. But she was Kim. And it's like if they actually hate each other, she wouldn't be Kim for Halloween. Yeah. But then it's such a... I got married in Italy. Are you saying you copied me by getting married in Italy? Yeah. And then she dressed up as Kim. Like that's... They're dragging it out for sure. So funny. So funny. I thought Alex Earl looked so cute in her little Madonna outfit. Yeah, that was so cute. Because that was like unexpected though. Yeah. You know, like random. Random as fuck. Which is good. So many people dressed as Alex Earl that she would like repost, which I thought was funny.

Okay, can I say something about that though? With any celebrity or just influencer, when people are them for Halloween and they're just wearing like regular ass clothes and the only way to tell what you are is by posting like a side-by-side post,

I don't really like those costumes. Yeah, but I will say the people that were Alex Earl were like, like, you could tell that they were Alex Earl Braxton because they were wearing like, one person did them on a red carpet, like at the ESPYs and really wore their outfits perfectly. And I was like, oh my God, Alex Earl Braxton, that's so funny. And then one girl I saw did, you know, the TikTok where she says, I look like a mom picking her kids up from school. Like that outfit, head to toe. Yeah. And then like the,

Like, a lot of people for Alex Earl to me were very, very clear that they were trying to be Alex Earl because they were, like, the cut Dolphins jersey. Like, it was... Yeah. Stuff like that I get, but there was... It's very much like you didn't have a costume, so you wore a Dolphins jersey and said you were Alex Earl. The reason I say this is, like, okay, I'm allowed to have a fucking opinion, so if you're going to get offended by this, like, I'm not sorry. But people were dressing up as, like, Brianna Chicken Fry. Oh, yeah.

But you can't fucking tell that that's Brianna and Chicken Fry unless you put the side-by-side photo next to each other. Yeah, no, I will...

so i i definitely have mixed feelings about that because sometimes i'm like that's a reach yeah reach but like if i was at a party i'd be like what are you like i don't have to ask what you are but then sometimes there's i've seen people do like where i didn't know because i it's a reference i don't know maybe like before my time yeah or like just something very specific and they do the side by side on instagram and i'm like bro cute but i'm like i i don't know what that is because it's

It's not like my something I would ever know. But fucking cute idea. Yeah. So I'm like a fan in the sense that

It has to be done right. I was going to say, you have to pop the fuck off with it. You have to pop the fuck off. I think you have to be, like, exact. Exact. Like, if they're kind of wearing, like, a black outfit, you can't just wear, like, another black outfit. I know. No. No. Like, wear... Exact outfit. You have to pop off. And it has to be a photo of that influencer or celebrity that, like, blew up. Yeah, it looks good. And is very, like...

i've seen that before like someone did even the paparazzi team bryce on god yeah video tana yeah it's like okay with the gloves and the thing perfect you get it immediately if i saw the girl walking down the street i knew exactly what she was and she readed the video or perfect you know another one that i saw was the fucking crazy plane lady oh that motherfucker's not real and i'm like okay like that's funny we all know what that is yeah you have to do it good you just have to um

eat it up yeah you have to fully eat it up and do it so well no i definitely agree on that but some of them some of them were just i was like fuck do you just put that together this morning yeah that's a lot of what it is it's like okay i'm gonna put this together this morning i saw i forgot who it was they were influencers but i forget who who did mean girls but the scene of mean girls where regina george and katie are in a fight

And I didn't realize things you don't realize are so iconic until you see it. Their outfits were on point. But Regina George is just wearing a long sleeve black T-shirt. And like they're not wearing anything crazy, but they were wearing the outfits perfectly and like reenacted the scene perfectly. I was like, slide big slide. I also think this year, because I said this about two weeks ago, that I really hope this Halloween there's not a divide on TikTok of the girls making fun of the girls for being weird.

Like hot, sexy. And then the ones that are being big clowned outfits, making fun of the girls for being like, pick me girls. I didn't see much of that. I didn't see it either. I saw a lot of literally don't do that. Yeah. Because last year was big because there was a bunch of influencers that were throwing shade at each other.

I can't remember who those creators were in this very moment, but I remember there was a lot of back and forth between big-ass content creators on TikTok, and I was like, ooh, the girls are fighting. Yeah, I'll always be a slut, or...

Halloween costumes are on Instagram. Kind of slayed the house for real. We looked so good, which we'll get to. But yeah, I think Celebrity Halloween is fun to look at. What I thought was funny is that there was not a lot of Barbies because no one wanted to be Barbie. No, thank fucking God. I thought there was going to be a Barbie overload. Yeah. I think there... Yeah. I don't know what I was going to say. I feel like I saw the amount of Barbies I see every other year because Barbie has always been...

a costume that people do. Yeah. Like, that's not that crazy. I think Barbie just had its moment during the movie. People were dressing up as Barbie to go to the fucking movie theater and, like, they got it out of their system. And everyone thought everyone was gonna do it. Yeah. So it's like, you can't be Barbie. Everyone's gonna be Barbie. Yeah. There wasn't really a costume that I saw a lot of, to be honest.

were too much of I think obviously Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey with couples I saw that a little too much because that's something that was easy yeah if your boyfriend's a Chiefs fan yeah just throw on a fucking jersey the same I saw the Hailey Bieber and Justin thing a lot yeah which I was kind of like okay expected but it's cute yeah solo ones I didn't really so much I hadn't seen another marshmallow yet

have not this is one of the first years on my feed i haven't seen a dallas cowboy cheerleader yeah last year it was big dallas cowboy cheerleader is such a basic ass outfit and i'm just saying i did not see it on tiktok once and i'm like did i pick the one year that we did the universe decide we're not doing this costume anymore because did i just pick a good year like i did not see any of it and you know like you'd be served content of

I'm searching Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. I'm looking all that stuff up, so I'm expecting it to be served to me. And I'm not seeing it. Someone's probably listening like, bitch, I dressed up as that. But I didn't see it, so I picked a good year. I would really assume, given the percent of people that listen to this, that there was at least a few people. There has to be a few. I'm just shocked I didn't see any. I don't follow anyone that was that. And I was expecting to be one of five million that I saw on my feed. And I was like,

Where did everyone go? I had the idea of being Marshmallow because of last Halloween. So if you see something so unique this Halloween that you're like, fuck, that was so good and you didn't see a lot of people doing it, write it down in your phone notes and keep a list in your phone notes for next year. That's literally what I did. I wrote it down in my phone notes last year. And look at

365 days later, I'm fucking Marshmello. So just keep your eye out because I know Halloween can be really stressful when it comes up and it's like, damn, I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing. So stressful. I advise everyone to kind of just observe everything that you saw and then write a little list of things for next year. Just keep it. Good tip. But that's about it for my pop culture shit. Same. Like I said, the news is...

a little crazy right now yeah there's not a lot to discuss um we can jump drain to friday i think um because i didn't even have fucking kickball i'll just go cancel yeah and friday i didn't do anything yeah

So, well, so my Friday was my fucking Uber Eats night. I knew because it was Halloween weekend. Downtown was going to be crazy. Shit was going to be going on. I just did not want to go out. I want to stay far away from that scene because I'm trying to do once a week and I'm doing a really good job at it. So I decided, you know what? I'm going to go over to the boyfriend's house, watch scary movies. I am not a fan of scary movies whatsoever. You will. I don't even remember the last time I've watched a horror movie or even like finished a full one.

It's not my genre of movies to watch. I like reality. I like kind of thrillers of like... You like action movies. Yeah, like true story ones, though. Not like fake-ass shit where people's fucking heads are getting chopped off and shit. No. Like real shit, if it's a military-based movie, that type of stuff. You know what I'm saying? You like action movies. I'll be in my room and I'm here like...

gunshots galore and screaming. I'm like, what the fuck is this bitch watching? Meanwhile, my fucking head is like under the blanket. I'm like, no, I can't like, I hate blood. I literally can't watch it. So I like look away during any, any scene that has like blood or murders or anything. But anyways, so I was like, you know what? My boyfriend has given me so much shit for the amount of movies that I'm unable to watch because that's his type of stuff that he likes to watch. And I love reality TV and just stuff like that. So he's like, please for me, just like try,

try it once. I'm like, fine, fuck it. But I was like, we have to start the movie when the sun is still up because if we start when the sun's down, I'm not fucking watching it. So we ordered our Uber Eats. My Uber Eats came. I got my kava. I got my

He told me to wait for him, but then his Uber Eats got stuck in a traffic slash car accident. So it took another like hour and a half to even get to the place. So I was like, I'm eating mine. I don't care. Sorry, not sorry, but I'm going to get hangry and you don't want to see hangry Sam. And then we started the movie and I literally lasted maybe 20 minutes into that scary movie. It was The Nun on HBO Max. Have you seen that movie? I don't watch horror.

okay so no dude and i think it's crazy to anyone listening to this right now if you could sit down by yourself and watch horror movies by yourself like there's something wrong yeah like are you well i think the same way with people that are like obsessed with halloween and not just in a like i want to dress like a slut and go to a party people that love halloween like favorite holiday

it's time and place it's time and place for that type of stuff like back in massachusetts going to salem like up to like the witchcrafts and like all that stuff like i like that but i don't need to be getting scared left and right like no i don't need that but you know everyone has their own little weird fetish if that's like a weird fetish of yours is horror movies then go be it but not me no i cannot i don't mind the thought of

let's put a horror movie on and we're all going to kind of sit here and be terrified and like half watch it. And it's kind of a joke. I don't mind that. Like let's do a Halloween night and kind of funny afterward. I must watch like something exciting, something so dumb.

Like a kid show. Like iCarly. Like I need to watch something so just... Yeah, that's my fear. Mindless happy. I have to watch that after. Like immediately after, you better put on... Like I'm not even... SpongeBob. Like something so happy and childlike to make my mind stop thinking about it. That was my fear. I was like, I'm not going to be able to fall asleep tonight if I keep watching this. Oh my God. The drive. Driving after. Yeah, dude. And that's what I did too. Well, to be fair, I only watched like fucking 20 minutes of it. And then we threw on Below Deck.

he was like he's like really sam i was like come on like this is good he's like there's literally no fucking storyline to this i'm like but that's like but what if the bow sinks yeah so i always will leave his place around like 9 9 30 and it hit that time and i was like time to go home because i knew i had like

I had to get like a whole new fucking comfort for my bed and I knew it was there. And I was like, nothing worse than coming home late night and your bed's not made. So I was like, I need to go home. I need to make my bed. So I did that. And then I just went to fucking bed because the next morning was my run. Yeah. I did a whole lot of nothing on Friday. I'm single now. You read a book though. I read a book. I'm still not done. I made so much progress, but the book is so long. I'm in the final stretch today or tomorrow. Longest book ever. I'm reading Fourth Wing.

It's too fucking long and all I gotta say is I'm done taking book recommendations when I know I'm not gonna like a book. I don't dislike the book but it's too fucking long. Like it's too fucking long and this whole time like nothing has happened. I'm getting through it fast because it's easy to read. Like I'm getting through it faster than I thought but

It's so long. Ridiculous. 500 pages too much. I can't take it seriously. It's like about dragons. So I'm like, I think it's supposed to be really serious. I think I'm supposed to be like on the edge of my seat. This is not doing it for you. It's like kind of funny. Like, and I don't know if it's supposed to be at all humorous, but the dragons like talk to them.

And the dragon to me is like so sarcastic and like funny. Like the, like I posted, I was like, the dragon is like so girly pop. Like he's so sarcastic. I'm like, he just, is it supposed to be funny? Let me know. Is that like, I literally think it's funny. And I think it's supposed to be dead ass serious.

I don't know. You talk about books literally like. Yeah, it just doesn't make sense to me. It's like watching it. It's like, but this one's just about dragons and I don't like that fantasy shit. But everyone was like, I didn't like it either. And I like this one. And I'm just done with that. When you're like, I don't like it. And someone's like, no, you will like it.

No, I won't. Like, no, I won't. I won't. And I'm done taking people's recommendations. Dude, yeah. I feel that on the recommendations thing. I had on TikTok the other day, asked a bunch of people to write their number one running song. A lot of people were opening songs and I was like, really? Like, you run to this? Yeah.

I'm like, I'm done taking recs. I'm just going to go through Apple Playlist by myself and find my own playlist that I want to make. And then when I'm like, I don't like this book, people are like, read this four-part fantasy series. You'll like it. What? No. What?

why would I read four of those books no no so I had to post on my story don't tell me to read this book and then I got dms like oh sorry because like they didn't tap through yet and their last dm was you need to read this book and they're like oh my bad I'm like I'm not fucking reading it yeah no and I also that book is so popular not a follower literally that book is so popular that people recommend I don't live under a rock I've seen people read it it's like probably one of the most popular books of the year I'm like

I'm not living under the rock. I've seen it. I'm not reading it. So I'm just done taking recommendations if I know I'm not going to like it. Yeah. But yeah, I literally like stayed in and just read and was a crazy cat lady on Friday. Yes. I went to bed so early that night because I knew I was running. I had 7 a.m. solid core on Saturday. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, you were up and at them. Up and at them. I think you were back right before I left. Yeah. I think I was back before you woke up.

Yeah, well, I usually lay in my bed for a while. My class literally ended at 7.50. Like, I was...

I was up and fucking Adam. Let me tell you, I felt fucking great. Yeah, so my bedroom, guys, is above the garage. I always hear the garage go up when you're leaving. I'm like, oh, she's leaving. But then I pass by. I, like, fall back asleep because it kind of, like, scares me at first. I'm like, oh, my God. Someone's breaking into the house. And then you're like, oh, it's 7. Oh, I was like, oh, okay. It's the morning time. She's going somewhere. So, yeah, she did her software class in the morning, and then I did my run. And, y'all, like, running is so fucking mental, but I, like, love it toward the end. And...

I just know give it two three more weeks. I'm gonna be a fucking pro I was out running my boyfriend and he's gonna hate me for calling him out right now But what we have been doing is we're gonna add each week a quarter mile to the beginning of our run because we're doing a total of three miles But we want to eventually be able to run the full three miles without stopping So the week number one we did a mile and a half and then this week we did a mile and 0.75 and

um and the next week it's gonna be two solid miles before we stop and dude I was fucking I was running on cloud night like I was wearing my hokas too and those hokas I feel like I'm running on clouds when I'm running and he made me stop like three sorry I'm not gonna say three that's dramatic two times because he's gonna be listening to this right now like Jim what the fuck you're calling me out like

No, he made me stop to go to the bathroom and then like a quarter mile later made me stop to so he could tie his shoe. I'm like get your shit together. But it was it was great. I ended up so we did the first part then we walked and then I knew there was a Starbucks on the way back on the run back and it worked out perfectly where we finished the three miles right at the Starbucks. So I got my coffee. I went to the Starbucks and

When you like immediately stop running and then like you go inside, you know how like you're inside and then you go somewhere dark and it just caused like I was so lightheaded in there. I was like, these people are going to think I'm fucking batshit crazy for like coming right in here from a run to like get Starbucks. But I was like, I've never run so fast.

at the end of a run knowing where i was running to it was great you can definitely run three miles without stopping oh 100 it's so fucking mental dude like the first and you know it doesn't help is like i like to wear my apple watch because obviously i want to know how far i'm running but then you have to check like when you keep checking it i i just gotta get out of the habit of looking of looking because then i'm like oh my god it's only been a quarter mile so what i see

when I see the runner girlies doing on TikTok, even though I know we're not doing recommendations anymore. Yeah. But I see the runner girlies doing on TikTok because shout out Shelby Sacco, what I saw her doing because she was like, I can't run. And then the next day she was like, I ran a half marathon. Yeah, that was nuts. I was like, what crack cocaine did you take? Tell us. Yeah. Everyone always says like all the runner girlies I follow say you have to just go time, not distance. Like,

like tell yourself you're gonna run for 30 minutes and just run for 30 minutes and like whether you take breaks and like go for 30 minutes and like don't even look at like set a timer for 30 minutes and just go yeah but the thing is when you're just going or at least for me i don't know how other people are doing it maybe they already have their set loop but i don't have a set loop so it's like yeah you gotta have a loop i don't know where the like how far i've gone before i need to turn back around to my car because i don't want to run like

Without looking like five miles one way. Then you need a loop. Then I'm like, fuck, I have to run five miles back. You need a loop. Yeah. You definitely need to get a loop then. But yeah, that's what I see people doing is time. Like you got it like that. It's time, not distance time. Yeah. So, I mean, I...

I used to run like anywhere from like five to ten miles a day playing field hockey or lacrosse. So like I'm used to long distance. I'm used to that type of stuff. But I'm used to it in the sense of running with a purpose. Like when I'm playing sports and running, I don't realize I'm running. Whereas when I'm running. No, running back and forth on a field and running long strides is definitely different. Because my mind is so occupied during a sport.

That I don't even realize I'm running. Whereas when I'm just on a trail, oh my God, the mind games, it's insane. That's why I like running with my boyfriend because like I talk his ear off and he probably fucking hates it. That's what I could run if I could run with someone. Yeah. I can't run by myself. I literally talk his ear off and I'm like, he definitely hates me for talking. I'm like, sometimes I just need to like learn to not talk because I don't think he doesn't really like to talk while running. And I'm like, I'm trying to think in high school we'd run for dance on the track.

Bro, track star. I'd always be like top like three finishers because I'm just competitive. Like I'm not going to be a little fucking loser. No, but she wouldn't. We would go look at this is honestly a medieval torture. So we go out not even nearly in comfortable running clothes. We're in dance clothes. Okay, like not good running clothes and it's like go for the whole class period go.

I will tell you when to stop. But it's so what? So we're literally just running on the track circles. But it's so easy when someone's telling you to do it. No, it's easy because like I said, I'm not going to be the one to fucking lose. I was like high up on my dance team like and people would start walking right away. And I'd be like, you guys are literally fucking losers. Like I kind of that meant on a team when it's like, look, we're all doing it.

Like, if one person on the team is doing it, you have to do it. Like, I'm doing 100%. You can't be fucking half-slacking. And I was that kind of person on my team. Oh, I would get so – me too. I would get so fucking pissed. No, I'd make people cry on DanSick. I would yell at people. Dude, ugh. So, I was so fucking competitive. But I'm trying to – and that was before Apple Watch. Big Apple Watch days. So, I was like, how much did I run? Because low-key, we were out there for, like, close to an hour just running.

running circles on nonstop. I have no idea how much I ran. No clue. Did you ever have to do Indian sprints? All the time. No, I loved those. I loved them if everyone was doing good at it because, oh yeah, when people go really slow at the front of the line. Oh my God, yeah. Like you have

I know. Yeah. Wait, you're so right. Like they would be great if everyone, if it was like clones of myself. Yeah. You know, having to like all in the same piece. Oh my God. Yeah. We do. Yeah. All the time.

Damn, I miss sports. It's going to make me so sad. All the time. Anyway, so yeah, I used to be a track star in high school. Yeah. But I couldn't tell you how long I ran. Yeah, but so I did like a total of, in total of everything I did with the walking and running, we did like five miles, which felt fucking amazing. So next week we're going to do two miles. Woohoo.

Then I came home, had some breakfast, and then Taylor and I were off to Sephora. She's like, do you need to go to Sephora? I'm like, do I need to? No. I literally never need to. We justify everything, too. Because I was like, oh, Taylor, we've been getting a lot of makeup PR lately. I just haven't bought makeup in a while. I need X, Y, Z. And then I ended up buying four things. I needed setting powder, too. So I will say I do need setting powder.

So I was like, I do need that. And I needed a powder puff. Needed that. I didn't need the concealer. Best concealer I've ever bought. So worth it. Yeah. And then I bought a red lipstick because I was unaware if my costume was going to fit. And worst case scenario, I was going to have to wear all black and fake blood makeup. So I bought a red lipstick in case I had to be a vampire last minute or some shit. Yeah.

I had a red lipstick, but I wish I knew that because I would have said just use mine, but... I'll use it. I have a red lip line. Like, it'll... Like, is it red red? It's, like, a little darker than bright red. I have... I have a bright red liner, though. When I went to MAC, I love getting my lipstick and lip liners from MAC. I love their lip liners and stuff, but...

my birthday gift this past summer was this bright red lipstick and I was like I am never gonna wear this yeah um so it was a good Sephora trip no it was I got the Patrick Ta eyeshadow palette I got setting spray and I got two different setting powders because I wanted to try out the Huda Beauty pink

Setting powder. And bro, I don't know why I have been waiting so long to try it. Like the pink, it, I usually get the translucent, like clear one, but the pink one, like, cause I don't wear concealer. So I don't really. It's crazy that you don't wear concealer, but you wear powder. So.

It like brightens my eyes. It's the weirdest thing. Like I never saw anyone really do it, but I was like, you know what? I'm going to try this one day. Cause it's clear powder. Like if it was colored powder, but it's clear. It's yeah. It's an interesting thing you do. Yeah, no, I know. So, and I also love the matte look. Like if I can't just put setting powder on one part of my face and then like, like my under eyes not look like extremely matte. So I was like, do my whole face. So anyways, yeah.

I got the pink one, Cherry Blossom, and I am obsessed with it. I am going to have to get the bigger one. I got the two smaller, not sample, but like travel size ones. So, yeah. Yeah, we had our little Sephora trip and it was kind of just gearing up for the night. A day of gearing up for the night because we had quite a night ahead of us. Yeah. And one thing that I or both of us do is we'll get like...

We think we're getting ready really early, but then it ends up being appropriate time. Because I was like, oh, I'm going to get ready at 3. I know it's super early to get ready at 3, but then it worked out perfectly where we only needed to wait 30 minutes before we left. Well, what I did, to be fair, if I did my normal getting ready, I would have been ready in 20 minutes. I can do my makeup and hair. Oh, me too. So fast.

But I was like, okay, I have time and it worked out because I loved how I looked. And there's nothing better than leaving the house really, really loving how you look. Your makeup is sitting right. There's nothing better. I took so long doing my makeup. I'm telling you,

concentrated on my skin, took like a long time getting my eyebrows like in the shape I wanted them, blended out my eyeshadow for such a long time, like put a color, like really sat there and blended it and didn't just like do one color and my crease like really took such a long time, really tried to get my eyeliner even took, I took a really long time. And for me, that was still only like 30 minutes. I know some people can do their makeup for like two hours, but, or maybe it was like 40. I don't know, but I really sat there and tried to

really take my time. Yeah, because I also was like eating food and getting ready. Like I would take a break and then like go make food, then go back. Like I was doing a bunch of other things. Yeah. So yeah. And when I got ready for like two hours, I curled my hair and like took time and did like smaller sections, like really went in there and tried to take my time. So I don't know how y'all do makeup for two hours. I would love to be able to do that, honestly, because I like doing my makeup. I would need to do like my brush strokes like super...

So slowly. Yeah. I just wish I could though because doing your makeup is fun. It is so fun. I wish I could sit there and do it for a long time. I'm done. Oh, I love it.

So, whatever. But took our time, got ready. Also have to put like the TikTok time factored in. Yeah. In there because you got to make a TikTok or two. I made the freaking Trader Joe's frozen cheese croissants. Oh, I'm in like a croissant era right now. I'm just constantly craving them ever since I got the one at Starbucks when I was traveling. Yeah.

I just... They're so good. They are so good. Have you had the Starbucks one yet? No. You gotta try it. Okay. I'll put it on my list. It's so good. Because you've been getting Starbucks food, I feel like, lately. The weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Yeah. Because... Because on Saturday... What have you been getting at Starbucks, though? The...

Gouda turkey one. Okay. The egg white and the turkey. Because I went to early solid core. I didn't eat breakfast because I rolled my ass out of bed and went. Didn't have a coffee or anything. And then I wanted a coffee. Can't have coffee on an empty stomach. Yeah. So I have to get food. Yeah. And then on the weekends, like...

I'm just going to get fucking Starbucks. I know. It makes me happy. So I'm going to fucking do it. And the sandwich is high protein. It's not even like high calorie. Yeah. That too. And guess what? Fucking points. So guess what? Yeah. On Saturday, my sandwich was free. How about that? Yeah. So on weekends, if I want to wake up and get a breakfast sandwich and a coffee, I'm going to fucking do it. Yeah. And no one can stop me.

And so next time I go to Starbucks and get food, I'm going to, I want to try the apple croissant. They have an apple muffin shaped croissant. Oh dude. Yeah. Anyways. So the cheese one from Trader Joe's so fucking good. And then recently when I went to the grocery store yesterday, I got the chocolate one to try. Cannot wait to try it. It's gonna be like my next dessert coming up. Um, but yeah, so we had a night ahead of us and we had two different house parties slash pregames to go to. Our first was at our girlfriend's house. Um,

A smaller group of us went to our girlfriends for a pregame. It was someone's birthday, so they had, like, a cake. They had a bunch of, like, Halloween shots and drinks and snacks. Hung out there for about, like, an hour, maybe. Maybe. It felt, like, longer. I know. But we really weren't there that long. And then we...

headed on over to um the actual party which what our friends that was hosting the party was also at the pregame and he just drove over real quick because we got to that pregame at seven yes i was gonna say it was 6 30 7 like it was early 6 30 so our one friend like went over to the pregame because he said that he was gonna go and all this stuff and he was just being a good friend to show face and go because our friend had just moved into her apartment so it was kind of like a housewarming party per se too and it was this girl's birthday who didn't

No one knew. No one in the room had ever met, but every single thing was for her birthday. So, I mean, just like a little odd because not a single person there knew her. Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, no one knew her. Like, where were her friends? I don't know. Maybe they came after. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, we were met early. I don't know. Well, no, because then they came to the party after. So true.

I don't know. So we hopped in our friend's car to go back over to his house. And we're fucking driving in the car. And I'm hammered at this point. Like, those Halloween drinks that they made, they put them in the... What are those nurse things called? They're little blood bags. So they put drinks in blood bags. They're nurses, so they took this stuff straight up from the hospital. Yeah. So I'm drinking these things. And I'm one deep. And I'm like, why is this making me so drunk? And I go, you guys had a heavy ass pour on these drinks. And they're like, yeah, we know. I'm like, fuck. So...

I'm in the car heading over to the party and I realized we're heading north and our friend lives southwest. So I'm like, where the fuck are we going? He goes, oh, like we just got to go up north real quick and pick up a table. So we were in the car for like 45 minutes, 45 minutes. And the drive is so annoyed. The drive is like 15 minutes max to get from A to B. I was so annoyed.

I was like, I'm drunk. I don't want to lose my buzz. Like, what's going on? I love to say, like, I will blame myself for your drunkness because you already had a blood bag. Yeah, and you gave it to me. I had half of my blood bag and I just didn't like it. So I was like, do you want this? And I was like, no.

That was a mistake on me. Yeah. But I gave it to you. Yeah. So we ended up getting the party and there was no one there yet. We were like the first ones there because keep in mind, we ended up getting there at like 8 p.m. No. So we're in the car. We're like, oh, my God, like we're missing the whole party. We've been in the car for so long. Party's over. Like we're literally missing the entire party. Dude, time is not real. Missing the entire party. Like, holy fuck. Like, I already want to go home. We're like, it's 8 p.m.

It's really going to be okay. We show up to the party. There's no music playing yet. It's empty. I was literally in the car like, bro, fuck. Ruined my whole party. Not even going to... The drinks are going to be gone. I'm like... It was straight up eight. Drinks weren't even out yet. I'm like, oh, I'm dramatic. But they decorated to the fucking nines. Yeah. Well, give the girls credit, though. It was Haley. Our girlfriends were the ones that decorated. The boys just...

gave Haley the money and Haley went to the store and decorated the whole place. Well, it was very good and it was a true house party. We have not been to a house party, not a pregame, not a party at a house that like a more so company is throwing. Yeah, it was put together like a house party rager like a cat

Yeah. A full bar. Like there was a bartender behind the bar. Like I have not been to a house party like that where it's all just people, you know, we need to do it again soon, bro. That was so fun. So much better than the bars. Yeah. So much better than bars. Bathrooms are like easily accessible.

Like, our friends said, like, you could take your shoes off because you're just in someone's house. Yeah. Especially Halloween. You're all kind of in a costume. Did you take your shoes off? No. Okay. I was going to say, ew. I probably would have stepped in, like, beer or something. No. I was wearing comfy shoes. But, like, there's people, like, they were wearing slippers. Yeah. Like, people were... It was just...

It was just fucking fun. It was just nice. You could go lay on a bed if you wanted to. You can't lay on a bed in a bar. I know. And so I was for Halloween Marshmallow and there was a whole DJ booth set to the fucking... Perfect. DJ keyboard, everything. Massive speakers, everything.

And I was like, I just need at least like five to ten minutes at this DJ booth. So like when we first got there before anyone got there, I was just like standing behind the DJ booth, like having a time. Dude, and I don't even know. But like by the time me doing that to whenever it was, the place got packed. It got packed. Within seconds. So fast. We were, I think, in the garage.

doing fucking kegs yeah they were like we need to do kegsians i was like oh my god like this is what we're doing like this is what the way the party's going people were just upset like everyone had to do it like our one of our friends was literally just like i want to do it again i want to do it again i want to do it again and i was like okay like if that's what we're doing and then people would come into the garage we're like oh

look it look do you want to do it you just got here you have to do it they're like oh okay like so gross though everyone mouth on that one thing like dude yeah and you know what we probably all got covid i loved doing the keg stand a lot of fun but the one thing i don't like about it is like you have no control of when it's over because you have people holding your legs and then you also have the person with the thing in your mouth so it's like i'm chugging i'm chugging i'm chugging and i don't want to be a pussy and stop so i'm like okay i just gotta keep chugging and then just hope that at some point they're gonna let go of the little

nozzle thing and let me down because I don't know. So the first time I went around doing it, I did a great job. And then the second time I was really, really drunk and I can't do pushups yet. Cause my fucking boobs, like,

still can't really use my chest muscles and I just fucking face planted right into the keg stand yeah it was this whole video on my snapchat that I posted of me falling and then everyone giving me a tutorial on how to do it I'm like guys I know what I'm doing I just like my boobs are fake and I can't do it like I can't push my body up

So it was a little bit of a struggle. I didn't go to college, really, as we know. So like that, when I walked into the garage when we first got there, it was giving frat. There was a keg. There was kind of a couch with a sheet on it and a folding table. So frat-like. And I was like, you guys don't understand how kind of fun this is for me because...

A frat party in a room like this is something I've never done before. And just thank you for giving me the experience of semi being at a frat party. So it was giving very much frat. I was like, I've never done a keg stand. Everyone was like, how? I didn't go to college. So it's just, you know, gave me that frat energy that I was missing my whole life. I was like, I kind of love this frat party moment. I just felt like if I was in a college basement at Halloween, this is what I would be doing. So...

It felt good. Yeah, and I'm not going to lie. The entire night was quite a blur for me. I could definitely see that in you. I somehow, like, it's not a blur for me at all, which I'm shocked because I feel like I was drinking a lot, but it was Thursday. Yeah, I had a mix of so much different alcohol, beer, mixed drinks, like literally you name it. But that's kind of when like the night just went for a turn of events, I feel like. Which I didn't realize until the next morning, but we'll get into that.

Yeah. I think you should get right into it now. Yeah, right into it. So 11.45 rolls around and I end up leaving, which Taylor came up to me and was like, are you guys leaving? Don't leave. And I'm like, okay, I'm...

I didn't realize I was leaving, but my boyfriend... This girl told me to stay, and then as soon as I walked away, walked out the front door. Yeah, so my boyfriend, I think, is, like, the king of the Irish goodbye. I love the Irish goodbye. I'm great at it. But, like, when he wants to go, we're going. And I'm like, okay, ha!

That's a costume that you guys should be for Halloween. Like, find a way to make that. Yeah, like, find a way to make it, like, a concept costume. Everyone fucking will always... There will always be, like, at least one or two people the next morning that will text me, like, you fucking bitch, you Irish goodbye. I'm like... Anyways, so...

I ended up deciding to leave and my boyfriend lives down the street from this house party and we were like, you know what? He was like, oh, let's Uber. I'm like, Uber? You want to fucking Uber down the street? Which he lives in a very not so nice neighborhood.

Area of Austin it's Riverside there's a lot of homelessness and people on drugs fucking roaming the street just screaming and it's not the safest so we're like you know what it's literally a street away let's just walk and we walked and got home next thing I know we're making some frozen food and I go to bed.

Which this entire time I am asleep. Shit is going down and I did not even realize it. I wake up the next morning with the worst anxiety because I had like in total like seven missed calls. A bunch from my girlfriends and then a bunch of missed calls from my boyfriend's roommate's girlfriends. And she had left me a bunch of texts being like shit's going down and then blank.

the street name, which is the street name of where our boyfriends live. And then I had another side of texts from my girlfriends being like,

Are you awake? Like, call me when you're awake. Like, I hope you see this. Like, we need to talk. Like, shit went down. And I'm like, at the time, I didn't realize there was, like, two different things that went down. I thought it was just, like, one big fucking fight happened at the party around 2 in the morning, which I ended up finding out that that was not the case. My girlfriends had a different situation that went down, and they ended up calling me and explaining everything. And we got that all situation solved.

That situation all situated. But then we realized that, like, something happened on the road of my boyfriend's house. And we didn't know if it involved, like, a gun or, like... Because they were like, shit went down. Are you safe? Yeah, are you safe? Like, and we're like, safe? Like, well, I just... I woke up. Like, what do you mean safe? And...

So it turns out which we woke up at like eight in the morning went to the grocery store got Starbucks like our morning is like half over at this point it's 10 in the morning and my boy boyfriend's roommate finally wakes up and was like hey guys like you're not going to believe what the fuck happened and I never had like a one on one conversation like never saw them in person so I'm just going based off of what I was told.

Over the conversation that they had over the phone of my boyfriend, his roommate. And I guess about two hours later, we walked home at around midnight. Two hours later, they also walked home from the party over back to boyfriend's place. And when they were walking, they realized there was this man with a hoodie covering his face following them home.

And they didn't realize that they fully were being followed home until they got in the house and they saw the man through the window just staring at the house from the fence. And the fence to the front of the house is not very far. Like you can see plainly through the fucking windows if the blinds are open, like what's going on in the house.

So they end up calling the cops and the cops come to the house. The cops are at the house for like an hour guarding the house, guarding the front of the house to make sure this man doesn't come back. And before the cops even got there, I guess the boyfriend, the roommate, so the other boyfriend went outside and had a golf club in his hand and was like screaming at the guy saying,

Saying like get the fuck off the property like get the fuck out of here and this entire time we are asleep and my boyfriend's bedroom is the front of the house so like my head is literally right next to the window and if there's cops there I imagine the cop lights are on and all this like I don't understand how we didn't wake up and it's honestly kind of concerning I'm like obviously the alcohol put me in a deep sleep but I'm like.

Concerned that I slept through this and the anxiety the next morning hearing the story unfold was so concerning I was like, I can't believe I slept through this entire thing cops came in the house. They Whatever and i'm like I slept through this entire thing, which is so concerning And I guess they didn't sleep there because the girl the other girlfriend felt so unsafe So they went to the girlfriend's house. They ubered and they ended up

Calling us after this entire thing went down when they were leaving because they saw the man when they were in the Uber going to the other house walking just roaming the streets. So they were calling us and they didn't know where our locations were. They didn't even know we were home the entire time. Which is batshit insane. I know. No one.

tried to see where you were because if there was someone and a scene going on in our house and you were sleeping in your room, I would 100% know where you were. Yeah, not even know but also check. Like, peep the door open, look in the, like, look in the room to see if we're there. Like, what the fuck? Like, I know we're all drunk and, like, that's maybe not

first thing on your mind but i mean for me that would be first thing on my mind first thing on my mind is like oh my god where are they are they in the room i'm gonna peep the door open to see if they're in the room and if they are i'm gonna wake them up and just like let them know what the fuck's going on the cops definitely asked if anyone else was home i mean i would fucking hope so because i feel like just police protocol there's something going on at a house you ask is there anyone else home because let's say one of you decides to get up and like walk outside the cops might be like

ready to like yeah that is you like the cops need to like know who's home so that way let's say like your boyfriend goes out a back door or something they're not like literally pulling out their weapons because they think some guys in the backyard like they need to know who's home so i was just like

Kind of fucking pissed about that. Like, why didn't they open the... Like, it takes two seconds. Open the fucking bedroom door to see if we're laying there sleeping. Our lady would have knocked him in like, Sam. Because, like, especially if they were leaving too. Like, they didn't even end up staying the night. We were at the same party, by the way. Yeah. So, it's like, they knew you weren't at the party. Yeah. Like, the only places we would be would be my house or their house. And it's like, do the, like... You live down the street. You're probably there. Like, come on. So...

That was a little bit irritating, them not seeing if we were home, safety reasons. And with that, now I'm kind of paranoid to sleep at his house just because shit like that happens a lot in that area of the town. People just roaming the streets late at night on drugs. Unsafe fucking vibes in that area of town. It's...

scary and I just don't really want to be sleeping at my boyfriend's for a while just it it's scary um and it just worries me that I slept through it and I feel like now I'm so in my head that like if I were to sleep at his house I'd be like I can't I can't let myself sleep through that like what if this happens again what if there's a man just like in the front yard and I slept through it like

So just like the mental clarity, like I just don't want to sleep for a while because of how fucking anxious it made me the next morning. Like I was you. You saw me like I don't think you realize how anxious I was. Like I was really anxiety the next day was also really bad. So like I was like trying to eat breakfast and I'm like my fucking thing. You are. Dude, he was pissing me off. And my hands were like shaking, trying to scoop up my like.

food I was like I need and I was like I'm just gonna go take a shower real quick I'm gonna get away and I went to take a shower and like it really wasn't making anything better but I was like oh my god like the anxiety needs to go away right now yeah um so our morning was a little anxiety filled um my not because of anything of that for me I didn't involve any of that it was just like normal anxiety uh breakup anxiety whatever um I had a very chill day got a facial I watched a movie um and cleaned one like I just

chilled yeah um one thing single you know i could have said at the beginning of this episode is one thing about me is when i drink i wake up fucking early yeah i wake up early so like by 10 a.m we had meal prepped we went to starbucks we went to trader joe's i had my breakfast like i just done it all by 10 in the morning and then we ended up doing some appetizers we

We did nacho plates at my place. And then after we had nachos and stuff for lunch, we went over to his place and I watched football with a bunch of his guy friends and basically came home and was being wholesome. I watched a movie, which I never do, but it was nice to just like, I literally laid in bed and watched a movie and I was like, this is good vibes. It is.

It was just because also the weather was kind of shitty. It was rainy. It's so cold. We literally went from high 80s this past week to dropping down to the 40s. And then same thing is going to happen again. It's in the 40s right now. It's going to go back up to the 80s. But weather like that just causes me to want to just hunker down, not do much, stay in

stay inside and eat some romanticize it whatever yeah you know it's like romantic like enjoy it like enjoy the cozy vibes yeah and there's nothing better too than kind of just sitting on a couch with a bunch of your friends like that's what I was doing sitting on a bunch on the couch with a bunch of my friends watching well I wasn't really watching football I was like scrolling on my phone and they were giving me so much shit they're like well more my boyfriend was giving me shit like what's your screen time Sam I'm like leave me alone don't call me out like that time yeah literally what's your fucking TV time on Sundays

Exactly. I just don't get the difference of sitting watching TV or sitting on your phone. Exactly, dude. Like, and like, and I'm also engaged in the conversations too. It's not like I'm half-assing conversations with everyone. Like I was literally sitting there talking it up. Yeah. Who cares? Yeah.

He was giving me so much. And he went to go look at my screen time and I have a new phone and it's an average of two hours. And I was like, I've only had this phone for a week. So I was like, the screen time average was not real yet. I was like, yeah. So, um, but without further ado, let's get into our episode. Yeah. Kind of. Kind of.

We asked you guys on our Instagram, one thing about us, make sure you're following it if you're not because this is where we do all the Q&As. Things about birth control, hormones, periods, literally anything girl-related. So let's get right into it. How to discuss contraception with a short-term partner slash one-night stand. And I'm going to say right now, you have to just be straight up. Like there's no working around something like that.

It's important to communicate with your partner that one night stand, especially like you don't want to feel guilty not expressing something like that to somebody because God forbid something does fucking happen and you never even expressed that to that individual. Then they would have been like, well, fuck, I would have worn a condom. I don't care. Yeah.

If you can't have mature conversations with who you are sleeping with, like if you're like, oh, I can't tell him he's going to be pissed. That's not someone you should be sleeping with. If you can't simply ask him to wear a condom because if he was a decent man, he should bring one and want to wear one regardless if it's someone you're casually sleeping with. So.

so one you should also feel comfortable doing it or else maybe you shouldn't be having casual sex if that's not something you're comfortable with so something to note there in terms of who you should be sleeping with but guys don't care and like i said if they do care that is literally not someone you want to be sleeping with that is nothing on you it's not embarrassing to be like i need you to wear a condom on birth control or not if you don't want to tell them you're on birth control like

You don't have to say I'm not on birth control, but you have to say that they need to wear a condom. Like, you don't... If it's a random person, you don't want to go into your history. I would tell them if, like, maybe you used to when you were on birth control, maybe being like, hey, I'm not anymore. There's a little update for you. But, I mean, like, I had no... Like, to me, it was like, I'm not on birth control. You literally, like...

this is what's going on three spam calls yeah and i also want to say too a mature man will ask hey should i wear a condom hey like what are you comfortable with do you want me to do this xyz so for the most part in my experience like i've had people ask that and like that's a normal thing for a man to ask like they should be asking that 100 so they want you you should want a man to want you to feel comfortable 100 so

Um, did you experience low libido after getting off the pill? If so, how did you fix it? No. Um...

The thing with like libido, I feel like it's a whole lifestyle thing. It's not necessarily just the pill. I know everyone's experiences are different. So like, again, when we talk about these things, talking from experience, when I had low libido, it was from under eating, over exercising. Like I was in a long term relationship during this time, too. And I literally remember when I was going through the breakup with my boyfriend, like he literally told all his guy friends like,

My quote-for-quote vagina was broken and sex sucked like all this stuff and like I know my sex drive was just not there during that time of my life and yes, I was on birth control, but my lifestyle was way different than what it is now. I was always stressed out. I underate, over-exercise, like nothing was properly done. Whereas now, lifestyle is great, eating properly, exercising properly, controlling my stress and anxiety and everything.

libido is high so yeah i mean i don't have any issues in that like like department but i don't have like a high sex drive either like i'm but i think that's like my own other things that are totally separate like that's my own other shit please share forms of non-hormonal birth control you use now tracking your cycle um now that we're a year off which at the very beginning when i was not on like

Huge on the condoms. Like, oh, it's also a boyfriend thing. Like, yeah, boyfriend thing, too. But if it's a random person, like I'm not relying on that. Yeah. So condoms were huge. But now that I'm more in tune with my body and I can literally feel my body shifting from cycle or face to face, like I know when I'm ovulating, like I can just feel it. So I'm like, hey, either I'm not having sex or.

These next two days, three days, whatever. Or, hey, like, put a condom on. And then...

Yeah, that's like really it for me. Yeah, and then... Obviously the pull-out game. Yeah, yeah. I think people here track your cycle and think that any other day you could just... No. Let it rip. No, like pull-out game no matter what. No. And then in terms of like other non-hormonal, you can get like a copper IUD if you wanted. If you wanted like non-hormonal birth control, you can get a copper IUD if you wanted to go that route.

Do you think dairy causes your PMS slash bloating to be more? No, honestly. Dairy messes with your hormones, so you might not be wrong, but I've never noticed that. Yeah, I was going to say, like, I've been, if anything, eating more dairy, drinking more dairy, and...

I feel great. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Dairy might make my skin worse. I've kind of like last period, I broke out a lot and I've been like eating more dairy than ever. So I don't know. Like dairy does impact your hormones and like impacts acne. So if you're talking in your PMS symptoms, if you're also saying if maybe acne falls in that for you, it might because dairy is like very linked to acne. And then if you think you're more bloated, like

You could just be sensitive to dairy. Like, maybe you just have, like, lactose intolerance. Like, I don't know. Like, that's so person-to-person. Yeah. This is an interesting one. And someone goes, how do I tell my boyfriend I want to get off birth control? Just say it. I know. And I'm like, guys, it makes me so sad to see, like, so many people in here, like, scared to communicate these types of things. Because one, ladies, it's your fucking body. You have every say. Do not let your man dictate whether or not their opinion matters.

On like you need to stay on birth control. Like no it's your body your choice. You decide what you want to do. And they should be supportive with that. On whatever you want to do. And make you feel safe. Based on your decision. The relationship I was in when I was getting off. It was like a little bit of a rough topic. Not like totally awful. But it was like I'd rather you not do that. And I was like.

I don't care. Yeah. Like, I was like, if you want birth control so bad, like, get a vasectomy. I'm not saying. Yeah. And it's like, obviously men just need to be educated too on these types of things because they're not educated. They don't understand it. They think birth control literally does nothing to our bodies that it's, if anything, safety with, I mean, obviously it fucking is because that's why girls go on it. But it's like,

At the end of the day, there are so many pros and cons on both ends. So it's like you just need to educate them why you're choosing to do what you want to do. But just tell them. Like there's no reason on any conversation with any man to work your way around these types of conversations. Yeah, you got to like for it to be like a real fight or an issue, like just like red flag, like not something you should be in in that moment then because that's just straight up a red flag for you to be like, I don't want to take this medication. And they're like,

No, you have to. How do you control your mood swings before you start your period? Your girl is struggling. I struggle too. I struggle like a bitch. My mood fluctuates crazy town. Like I feel a little bit wild right now, which is something I just got to like work through. But I don't know. Like I don't know the direct answer.

um, for me, it's been a lot of like kind of working with my moods, like, yeah, like preparing yourself and knowing what's coming. So that way I don't get so upset with myself or like, oh, like, why do I feel this way? And like kind of frustrated just knowing what's

yeah other than being like oh my god like why am i upset like why am i this if i go into my like week before my period knowing like it's gonna be a slower week i'm gonna be a little bit like more down probably gonna get less things done not in a way like setting myself up for that so i still like try to do my best but just in a way like not gonna be hard on yourself yeah like i don't need to be like oh my god like like stressing like just kind of like this will pass i'm

Give it a few days. You'll be okay. Yeah. And one thing that I've noticed too with this is being in a relationship, it's kind of like a teamwork type thing.

Where I need to inform my boyfriend, hey, like, warning you. I'm going to say this warning once. Comprehend it. But, like, the next few days, even a week, maybe even fucking two weeks, I'm going to be on edge about a lot of little stupid things. And it's not necessarily you. My hormones are whack. I am going to be pissy. And I think for me, not necessarily more alone time, but, like, less...

Like, I just need to be, like, alone a little bit more. Yeah. Because I get easy, like, sometimes I get really irritated with him, like, easily when I'm with him for too long. I'm like, piss me off. Whereas, like, in a normal time when I'm not, like, in my luteal phase and maybe my follicular phase, like, what he's doing pissing me off, if I was in my other phase, it probably wouldn't piss me off. I'm just...

Fucking going through it. So... It's more of, like, a teamwork thing. Like, I need to, like, work on... Hey. Like...

It's not really you. It's just I'm emotional for no reason. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Like when you have a boyfriend, you definitely got to express it. Explain so that way you don't seem like batshit crazy. And having things, you know, that boost your mood. Like I was really anxious on Sunday. So I went for a walk and cleaned the kitchen and it's like, OK, boom, kind of fixed. Kind of knowing what what will help fix it for you. How do you know if your hormones are imbalanced? Yeah.

I think, well, how do you know? No, you go to a doctor and you get blood work. Yeah. That's the real way of knowing. Like I'd say for me right now, I don't think my hormones are super balanced if I had to guess. Yeah. Because like my hormonal acne is crazy town. I kind of feel, like I said, week to week, I feel like a different motherfucking human. Like I would guess that my hormones aren't super balanced, but the only real way to know is probably

By getting blood work done. Yeah. And like your cycle obviously too should be anywhere from 20 to 35 days. And right now like the last, I don't know what the fuck is going on, but like for the first like three to four months, like these last three to four periods I've gone, it's been anywhere from like 28 to 35 days. And now the last two have been like 35 to 40 days. My cycle has been on the dot 30 days for the last three months. Like on the dot, we'll get it on the 22nd or 23rd.

Um, so like things like that are good. Like there's the clear indications are like, you're feeling really weak. You're not getting your period. Your hair is really brittle. You're like, those are the clear energy, low energy, like zero libido. That's like your hormones are whack. Yeah. That's like point blank period. Something is not right. And then like where we are, um, not to just like speak for you, but like we're kind of similar, like where we are is kind of like, there's things that could be better. Yeah.

but we're definitely it's a slow process yeah it's not gonna happen overnight it's like there's things that can be better but we're not we're not great like we're not perfect and i would say i feel like there's people that i see i'm like okay i feel like there are people that have it together but then it's hard as women to know what is unbalanced and what is just like the shit that you live with unless so you got to get blood work to know the real answer yes so i mean obviously to like

If you have high concerns, like just go to the doctor and the mental clarity on that too helps a lot. Cause like, at least for me, like I was holding off my pap smear. We talked about this like what a month ago and stuff like that. Like,

I get super anxious and worked up about it, which can cause other things to like... If I'm stressed about that, then my period is going to be late. Just don't overstress yourself about these things. Just get ahead of the game and just maybe go to the doctors, get blood work done, and it will clear your mind. Any tips on how to feel when you ovulate? I mean, there's really no tips. It's great when I'm ovulating. Yeah, like...

But like how to feel it. Oh, how to feel it. Yeah, how to feel it. Oh, no. Like there's no tips. No, there is no tips. Things to look out for. More discharge. Discharge is crazy. That's like something to look out for. I get some PMS type symptoms, not like mood wise, but more physical. I get a little crampy. Yeah.

But yeah, it's your own things that you noticed. And if you want to track your cycle with your temperature, so that way when something tells you, hey, you're ovulating, you can keep track of how you feel in that moment. So you can kind of put two and two together. That could be helpful. Yeah. Now, there are a lot of questions about the arm implant.

And guys, we can't... I'm sorry. Like questions about what? Just like questions about it, like side effects. Oh, I've never had that. No, I know. Like I just want to put it out there. Like the only birth control form that I've ever had is the pill.

And they've all been hormonal. So I can't give anyone advice on those things. And the arm implant is hormonal. So if you are like, I want to get off the pill, I'm going to get an arm implant. The arm implant is hormonal. Some IUDs are hormonal. Not all of them. But like that is still hormonal.

What have y'all heard about the pill and weight gain? My guy said it was false, but I don't know. So the pill doesn't make you gain weight. What it can do is increase your appetite, which can make you gain weight. But the pill itself is not going to make you gain weight. And it might not always increase your appetite. It just can. So it's not that you take the pill, you start putting on weight. You just might take the pill and have an increased appetite.

When you were depressed or were you depressed when you came off or did you feel more free? Honestly, like I don't know. It's fucking libido or what? Or libido? Placebo. Placebo. Fuck. Oh my God. I'm like in another world right now. But like, yes, I felt more free. I felt so free. We got off on Saturday because we were like or like that Friday that week. And then we had a Sunday. I forgot exactly what we did. And I just kept saying this is the best day of my life. It's crazy.

that i like i don't remember that i don't so we were going on a boat that day we took all those girl pictures oh yeah first video i made saying i'm getting off birth control that was like the first day i didn't take it we had like that weekend we had a sunday i forgot what we did because it was so long ago by now i was like this is the best fucking day of my life like i was like the world is amazing i felt great yeah so i feel like yeah life was just going great i don't know if it was just like

the timing of it or what but like right around that time that fall like we had a a really good time like mental clarity i just felt great um so yeah other one was does anyone else get super nauseous during your period throughout the night girl i've never related so fucking hard to this question in my life but yes i don't know what it is but it's only one night

during my period and it's always a different night whether it's like the first night of my period the night before I get my period but I get so nauseous I literally think I have like food poisoning or have like the flu I it causes me to stay up all night and I'm getting like the chills stomach in like indigestion I just I

I feel so sick. It's horrible. And I don't know what to do about it. But it only happens once a night. It's not like a continuous thing. But yes.

I feel you on that. I do not feel you on that. I'm really sorry. No, it fucking sucks. And like the one time it did happen last month, I was at sleepover at my boyfriend's house and I was up all night and we had to wake up at like five in the morning to catch a flight. And then I was still nauseous on the plane. And I was like, this has to be the worst airplane ride I have been on in a very long time. It was horrible. Um,

Do you still use your aura ring for your period tracking? No, because I learned that I just can know when I'm ovulating and I can feel it. So that I stopped using it because I forget to charge it. But yeah, I just can feel it now. So I'm going to try to do one more.

What to do about acne around chin, jaw, neck after stopping birth control? I've never had acne before. Okay. I'm glad you brought that up because I was going to say I wanted to answer about skin because people were asking about... There's only like two questions about it. One girl sent a DM. She was like, sorry, it's too long. But so this is another hard thing for me because I got off birth control and also in the year I got off birth control, I started routinely seeing an esthetician. So...

you know, a little hard to make that clear distinction of what's working and what's not. I will say my cycle being so regular now and actually having a cycle, I break out a lot before my period. I do nothing out of this world like crazy bad, but I do break out right before my period. You should go see someone and have a consistent routine. If you can't go see someone and there's no one in your area,

shameless plug I just worked with with Curology and I was very excited about that because if I can get y'all professional help when you like as easy as access to you as possible that's fucking great getting a routine and really sticking to it getting facials like putting the effort into your skin to see results because it's fucking hard out here but there's no like clear difference I saw like I wish I went off birth control and then like did nothing else and just let you know what was just birth control but

I did a lot of different things for my skin in that time. That's hard for me to give a direct answer. I don't get a lot of active pimples very often anymore. I think those are less, but I have just like different concerns. But it's really hard to say with all the other different things I've done since then. Yeah, I feel like the one takeaway you can definitely take from this episode with anything related to like hormones, acne, anything is like you need to

change a lot of things in your lifestyle and your routine. You can't just blame necessarily just the pill on anything. Our lives have changed so much over the last year of being off birth control. So just take that into consideration. And all in all, like mentally is really like the things that we can say we feel way better on. It's just

the world is a little clearer and it's nice to think with your real own brain. Yeah. And not fake synthetic things. I'm coming off my SSRIs. Like now I'm tapering off them. So I'm like really, I'm so excited to have my brain like back to my fucking self and be like so just naturally myself. So I'll keep you guys updated on that. But

so yeah it's gonna be nice to just be like fucking clear-headed yeah dude i'm excited for you i'm excited too it's it's been crazy like seeing personal growth with you two over the last like one of no it is true like even like i like i don't want to be like also me too but like it's serious like over like since me and you live together at the very beginning it's crazy we're both different people different insane different year to year like

Literally like so much fucking changes and it's really cool too to see all the people that do listen to this podcast that will send us dms being like hey I've been here since day one and it's just amazing to see like i've not only grown with you guys but watching you guys grow is really cool So I hope a lot of you guys have been here since like day one and if you're not You're going to continue to see us grow like it's constantly learning. Yeah, and the constantly growing is truly like we do a whole episode just kind of like

on this kind of topics i can talk about this for a while because i'm starting therapy um nothing's wrong but just putting it out there nothing's wrong i'm fine my parents are gonna be like what's wrong nothing but that's why i'm starting therapy because it's like why wait to be in the trenches when i could maybe just like handle it now yeah get ahead of not get there because it's so cool when you're like oh my god life is changing so much but then sometimes i'm like holy fuck life is changing so much and it like it's like stressful it's like

Just like thinking like, oh my God, the COVID was only three years ago. Like, I don't know. Like just life is changing so much so fast. And it like sometimes I'm like, oh my God, I can't like I can't keep up. No. So yeah, I'm studying therapy to be mental health, personal growth. I know. And we all remember I did therapy at the beginning of the year. I think I did like three or four sessions every other week or something.

And like, I think that's all I really needed. Like, because you would in phases, you don't have to do it forever. Because I realized when I was like going to therapy, I was like, damn, like I'm talking about things that I've never talked about before. And it just made me realize like, okay, Sam, like talk about those things to other people and you'll feel so much better. I just realized I have a lot of trauma. Yeah. Which is half the reason why my last relationship ended. I just have a lot of fucking things. Yeah.

If you just hear me on here being like wise and just so like at peace. Yeah. Okay. Well, see ya. I know. Bye, guys. We're done now. I need fucking lunch. Me too. I'm hungry. Hey, guys. It's Brooke. And Danielle from Gals on the Go podcast. It's very minimal change, but basically what I did- Wait, can we talk about the TikTok? Because I saw you deleted it and I need to bring it up.
