One Thing About Trash Men, Santa-Con, and Guilt Free Holidays
01:23:53 Share

Hello guys, welcome back to another episode. I'm Taylor. I'm Sam. We are both about to leave for home for the holidays. Yeah, almost like two weeks. I think I'm gone for what? I'm gone for 10 days. Yeah, me too. We leave for the same amount of time. Yeah. You come back a little bit earlier than me, but... Yeah, I land at midnight that... And I land in the morning. Yeah. So, but yeah, it's gonna be a really good, exciting trip. Can't wait to recap that with you guys, but I think for this week we're just literally gonna ramble about...

And this past weekend, because a lot happened. And it's funny because I posted on my Snapchat story, like just everything that was going on the whole weekend. And the amount of people that were like, I cannot wait for this week's podcast episode. Like, I feel like I was there. But then when I listen to the podcast, like I feel like I'm even more there. There's so much that didn't get posted. I know. Thank God. And thank God for that. Literally. Almost to the point where I'm like, how much is even going to get said on here?

Oh, I'm going to make sure luck gets said. It was a day. Yeah, it was a day. Yeah. But anyways, we got to get there. Lickety split. Let's go fast. Can you tell me one thing about you? Yeah. One thing about me is that my liquid courage to speak is really fucking bad. Felt that. Dude, I don't even know if you were there for it because it was during the bar crawl, obviously, guys. And we were heading over to Wiggle Room, which what bar was that? Last one? Second to last one? Second to last. And guys, the bar crawl was...

like eight bars and nearly nearly almost a drink at every bar but that one girl that we talked about episodes ago that pushed that boy onto Taylor and was just not being a very nice girls girl me and her were walking into the bar together and she locked eyes with me and I'm like fuck this is my opportunity to say something so I look at her and I go you know I hate you right you didn't tell me this I know

what'd she say and she goes no why i go i'll just be honest right now like you just never gave me and my friends any time of day like i tried many times to have just conversations with you and be friendly with you and you just never reciprocated it back and she goes oh my god like no i'm so sorry like and like obviously there's other things that she's done that

We have reason to not like her. That involved, like, boys and our friends. But, yeah. And then I just look at her again. And I go, we stepped off on a bad foot. Maybe you can make up for it. And then I just walked away. And in that very moment, after that happened, I was like, fuck, Sam. Like, you literally would have never have said that. Because you don't care enough. But because you were drunk, you just...

I didn't know what to say. We were the only two walking into the bar together. And I just said that. Yeah. I mean, what else would you say? And then my boyfriend was behind us and he was like, oh my God, like you and your new bestie. I go, oh, that's not what just happened. Um, that's hilarious. I know. That's so funny. So glad you did that. Um, my one thing about me is that I'm actually terrified to start dating because I just realized that all men are disgusting, trash, garbage. Yeah. What's your word on dating? Um,

What? Like, what do you mean by dating? Just going on dates, having fun, or finding a boyfriend? Like, developing any sort of connection with a man. Yeah. Like, just something we realized this weekend is that they... They suck. They do suck. Like, bad. Like...

Every single man besides my boyfriend. Yet. No, I'm kidding. Yeah. There has been issues with. And I'm like, how do y'all slip up so easily? This weekend was a lot of realizing like how many fuck ups these do. Like it was just like shitty dude after shitty dude. I know. And I was like, fuck, man. Like this is wild. You can't do it. But yeah. Yeah.

Um, favorites. My favorite is bows and like the trend of like putting a bow in your hair and putting a bow on everything, putting a bow on your decorations, putting a bow, everything. Like I love nothing more that the trend going around is just like girly girl vibes. Like it makes me so happy that,

putting a bow on everything is the fucking style i only have one piece of ribbon that i've used to put a bow in my hair and i need more i need more i got compliments on it at the bar crawl from boys which is so weird like you know when there's a girl trend yeah and like sometimes boys are like what there was like i want to say two or three people that were like i like the bow in your hair and i'm like boys like a bow in their hair like that's like that's crazy i'm like so just know like

The boys are kind of into it, I guess. Damn. Because I got compliments on it. I want my boyfriend to be just like wrapped around my finger. Maybe I can put a bow in my hair. Maybe you do. I can't picture you with a bow in your hair. No, you're kidding. But go for it. But yeah, I love it. I love them and I need a million more.

My favorite of the week is the Aperol Spritz from Trader Joe's. I knew that was going to be my favorite of the week. I knew it. Dude, okay. Obviously, like you guys know, I love making my own cocktails. But guys, if you're going to a pregame or if you're going to a party or you're just going somewhere and you don't want to bring all the necessities to make a cocktail, go to Trader Joe's and get the ready-to-drink Aperol Spritz. They come in little packs.

bottles like little shit yes little champagne bottles and they're coming to three pack i want to say they were like eight dollars or something which is not bad for three and each drink is eight percent alcohol so yeah it's like basically i mean it is an aperol spritz in a bottle is so good and i can't fucking stand i'm gonna rant for a second i can't stand you guys when you will literally swipe up on something that i post saying is it good question mark i'm sorry but i'm gonna respond back and be like

No, it's not good. I'm posting it because it literally tastes like shit and I want you to go get it. So just be aware that when I post something, like, yes, I like it. Don't ask me if it's good because it obviously is. Preach. No, I'm sorry. It pisses me off. Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. I'm in a fucking feral mood today. And if you were posting it because it's bad, you would have been like, guys, this sucks. This sucks. Yeah. Like, and I'm pretty sure, like, I tagged, like, oh my God, everyone, like, something would go along the lines and then tag Trader Joe's. I'm like, obviously it's good. Mm-hmm.

Same with my food that I got last night. I posted food and someone was like, oh my God, like, did you like this? You went to Loro? I'm so jealous. Yeah, I know. It was really fucking good. So good. Anyways, hot gossip. I have so much gossip. Yeah. So I have none. Lots of things on TikTok that are actually, I might really only have two, but I'm very passionate about them. Have you seen the guy, Cody, giving his wedding vows? No. Okay. Yeah.

It's kind of a there's there was two other guys. There was one other guy that did it. I think a while ago, but the newest guys fucking this is like a famous guy or is he just blowing up? So the then the photographer put these people on blast. I don't know why they post this because you're literally humiliating this girl. They posted this clip. It's like going viral. They're normal people. She gives her vows, whatever. It's like his turn. And he says, I promise to slap that ass every chance I get. That's all he said for his wedding vows in front of all these people. And the priest is literally like,

like everyone's like oh man like why would you say like this is disgusting and the priest is like is that it like anything else and he's like nope like i didn't write anything and it's just like ha ha ha i would leave i would literally like stop and be like fuck off and like the like the people in the background like come on cody like people are like and i'm like i would be livid and it's like there was one other guy that i forget what he said but he said something like

Like we'll have sex all the time. And that's just like all he said. And it's like, ew. Like, are you discussing like it's your wedding? Also, don't they like discuss that together? Like all the no, not like the bride and groom. Like, doesn't he discuss it with his like his guys? Like, oh, this is like what I wrote. Like, do you think they were like, don't fucking say that? Or no, I don't know how that groomsman culture works. But all I know is that is fucking awful.

Like, if someone did that to me at my wedding, where, like, you, like, pour your heart out and say something, like, really, like, nice and emotional, and they just say, I promise to slap that ass every chance I get. In front of, like, your parents. Yeah. And, like, your entire family. Oh, no. Speaking of weddings, it's so weird to think that, like, everyone in my grade back home are getting married.

It's so funny because I was actually talking about this yesterday with my friends because I was just on the way home. I was telling like one of my friends just how like I'm really getting married and I'm like, I've always wanted to get married, like, like get engaged at like 25.

And I'm like, but then I look at my friends who are 25 and if they got engaged, I'd be like, what the fuck? Yeah. You know what I mean? Like no one in our friend group here is getting married. But if I were to be home surrounded by everyone in my age, they're all getting married. But it's like not that weird. They're like almost 26. I know. My sister got married at 25. Maybe it's just like the. Like my sister was 25 when she got married.

If you stay, I feel like, in your city where you grew up, you're more likely to get married sooner. But if you leave after college, it takes you a little longer. Yeah, so I was talking to my friend about... Because she's 32. So it was like, you know, the advice of like a 30-year-old. And I was like just saying how like I've always like wanted that because that's kind of like what my sister did. Like she just had like the traditional path of like boyfriend married kids and like is thriving. Yeah.

And she was saying how now, like, it's harder because, like, we have so many options. And, like, we think maybe, like, in the future, divorce rates will go down because people were just kind of marrying, like, one person. Like, early. And, like, they weren't seeing, like, testing the waters between so many people. And now, like, people date so much. Like...

you like meet so many people which is also a problem though because then you're always in the back of your head and be like there's something better yeah but like or you like you you know what you want more like you know i don't know with the fucking men that we've been dealing with this past weekend i don't know if the divorce rates are gonna go down i have hope but i just don't believe it i will never in my life get divorced i will never fucking let that happen i don't

I was getting cheated on or oh 1000% or like but just like for for no reason like what yeah when it's like we fell out of love sorry I'm in it now yeah like you're not gonna find fucking something better like stick it out I think people do like get divorced and are like happy there's like the few people that get divorced and like if they had kids and like their families are still so blended like Alex Earl yeah like her mom and her son like everyone hangs out and like honestly like props like that's

That's beautiful. Yeah. That you can all like be. Listen, I'm one jealous ass bitch. If you think for one second, my ex-husband, who I was with for years and had kids with, like that deep of a bond is going to bring another girl to my house. No. Also, I just wouldn't want to be surrounded by like my ex like that. No, it's not for me. But I commend them. Ex-fiance or ex-husband. I commend them and it's beautiful and it's honestly impressive. It won't be me. No. No. Anyways, my other gossip just broke news right now.

It's actually the most hilarious thing ever. So a member of like the Senate, like a government worker. Okay. Filmed. So a government worker and we guess another government worker because it takes two people to do this, but like only one person's in it. Porn? Like porn, like in like the Senate, like room, like on a desk, like in, I don't know the legal terms for what these rooms are called, but like, like posted or something.

And it's like a gay couple. It's like two dudes. What the fuck? Bro. Crazy. Were they like asking to get fired? I'm not understanding. I guess. I don't really know. Can you get fired? Yeah, they got fired. This is the same term as fired though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got fired. He was straight up like getting like railed at like on a desk in like the Senate. Damn, did you watch the video? No, no, no, no. I only...

I did. You're giving some details. No. So the only thing, I don't know if the video is anywhere. I've only heard about it on TikTok. So I hear people describing like just like what happened. And then I just, there's a picture of just like his back and that's it. Oh God. I just think it's kind of hilarious. It's actually crazy though. The amount of like without it being filmed, that shit like that probably goes on on a daily basis. Yeah.

I thought it was. Hey, after this like meeting we have, like let's just go pop over there real quick. Listen, I don't really understand why or how or like with the purpose or like if it was posted by accident or if it was posted on purpose or what. But all I got to say is it's kind of fucking hilarious.

The only thing with the Dave and Savannah update is that Savannah finally moved out, which I'm happy for her. Oh, speaking of couples that break up on the Internet. And then it's like the other thing I've been seeing, I think Vanderpump Rules just came out. And it's like Ariana and Tom still live together. The people from that fake cheating thing. And he just wants to buy her out of the house.

But it's like she doesn't want to because she like also owns a house and like a house goes up and like she doesn't want to just like leave the house and he gets like more value out of the house when he sells it or whatever. Yeah. So it's like this whole thing. And I think he should get the fuck out. Yeah. I don't think she should buy him out. He should take the L. Yeah. He should take the L. Take the L and leave. The fuck?

like take maybe i should start watching that should i just join in i should start watching it too we could watch the new season yeah maybe we come back we can watch the new season yeah because like i feel like we dude i'm also in love island right now this is the first season that you've never watched i feel like at least with me since we've lived together yeah i haven't love island australia which i'm pissed because remember that one time we watched love island australia together and they didn't do a custom war yeah oh that was

that was one of the biggest disappointments and i think they're about to do that again because i'm pretty far in and they're already like kind of sneaking like hints of like it not happening and i'm like if this doesn't happen love island casa amor is the best part of love island it's

It's kind of like the only part of Love Island that makes it like drama. Good. Yeah. Unless there's like some really big thing that happens like the USA one like that one was sick because they literally had like a plot twist of a girl coming in and end up being bi and then like twisting and like like that shit was sick. But then this season it's like there's no drama like turn it up a bit. Put Casa more in. There was nothing worse than watching Love Island and everyone's just like happy in their couples. Yeah. Okay then why...

I don't care about your lovey-dovey relationship. I don't care. I want to see some drama. But it is good. I also loved the Love Island games. If anyone watched that, the Love Island games ended like...

a week and a half ago, two weeks ago, but that was good. The only thing I will say is that they just needed to do the little ending bit of like the finale with the jury because they were fucking bullying people. I need to catch up and watch that. I get DMs all the time like, go on Love Island. Dude, I fucking love Callum.

like i want callum to be just like on every single love island related tv show or he needs to come back like love island australia is on right now bring him back in bring him back the pot like if you're not gonna do casa more bring callum back in he's just he's just he's the casa amor you just bring him in yeah literally yeah i need to like start watching more reality tv because dancing with the stars finished and that's upsetting yeah are you how many books are in are you right now

I'm about to finish 48. So I'm going to go home and read two. Because I was going to say, you're going to have a lot of time to watch reality TV shows. But no, you need to read your books. I have to read two more and we're going to be okay. Yeah. We're going to be a-okay when I read my two books at home. When I go home, too, I'm filming with my family a really good survivor casting tape. There you go. I texted my family. I was like, when we go home, can we like...

Go balls to the walls and like film a really good audition video for me. They're like hell Yeah, so I just want to say if toward the summer I disappear for a little bit It's because i'm going on fucking survivor. Is it different every like season? What like is it different every time of year?

What do you mean? Like, when they pull cast and they film. Oh, I don't... I think they take... They cast people, like, all the time. Because I've heard people say that they literally got a call and said, do you want to get on a plane and go tomorrow? And, like, she... Like, they were like, tomorrow you'll go. And she did. But I think they always film in, like, May. Okay. Yeah, because it's, like, obviously with Love Island, like...

It's common sense. Summer. Yeah. Or like, I guess Two Out to Handle is like different. It's always kind of random. I think they do Survivor in like May, but I just want to go on it so bad. Yeah. It's my dream. Yeah. You're going to have to show me when you can do it. Oh, yeah. Are you able to post stuff like that on TikTok? What? Like your casting tape? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You should post it there too. Yeah. I can post it on TikTok. I can do whatever I want with it, but I follow one of the casting directors on Instagram.

And like she posted for the last season, like introducing the cast and like posted a picture and I commented. I'm like me. I'm like, just get me on the fucking show, bitch. I think her name is Lisa. Like, listen, Lisa. Everyone now is going to your fucking followers that want to be on it. Finding Lisa. Good. Find Lisa and say, have you ever seen this girl? She'd be so good on the show. Anyways, that's all I got to say.

Because I wish I can get on here and say there was more New York influencer updates because we all know I'm invested. No, they fucking... They went from like 100 to 0 real quick on that one. Yeah, and I take it personally. Yeah, me too. And I take it personally. I'm like, how can you just leave us in the dust like that? Yeah. Anyways, let's talk about... The weekend. The weekend of all weekends. I started off my weekend by going and get some coffee and going on a walk, but then...

Fucking the weather was so bad. I was so mad about that.

Because the restaurant we were going to on Friday night for one of our friend's birthdays is outside. And I was going to show up like a little bit early because I had to get balloons for a friend. And I was going to like take photos out on the balcony and whatnot. But it's fucking pouring. So I'm pissed about it. We went to the Quince at the Lake House on Lake Austin. It's gorgeous. Gorge. I don't even know what vibe to say because for the Austin, Texas people, if you've never been, it's literally the ABBA version but on the lake. Okay.

I think it is so Florida. I walked into that restaurant and I was like, this is a Keys restaurant. It's giving Keys. It's giving Florida. It was very, very cute. And I definitely want to go back and maybe go. The only thing that sucks is the sunset's at 530, but I'm like, I would love to go during sunset and just watch the sunset there, but we'd have to go at 430. Yeah, it was a really nice restaurant. Maybe in the spring or

Whenever the sun starts to set a little bit later. It's already... Going back a little bit? It's already like... I think the other day was the last day of it getting shorter. Okay. And now it's only going to get longer. Yeah. Maybe in the new year. Even though January and February are the coolest months here. So not for a while, but I will be going back. It was gorgeous. Yeah. It was really, really nice. It was really, really nice.

Had some good drinks. Dude, there was like, how many of us? 10 or 12 of us? Oh, there was only nine? I think so. Yeah, because we had a table of 12 and the guy was like, our waiter was like, are you filling these chairs? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who's coming. What's the matter to you? Yeah. But we, it was just all the girls and then my boyfriend and his best friend. So it was just funny because I was like,

Very curious to see how he was going to do just like all the girls like shit talking, like talking about boys and just like the two of them on the back corner. Like, but they did pretty well. Pretty impressed. It was a very fun dinner. It was a very fun dinner. And...

The one thing I will say is the service fucking sucks like by the time you guys are all done eating I haven't even taken my first bite of food and then You guys really get in the checks and i'm like still mouthing down I was like fuck this always happens to me like when I was a little kid And I had to go get dinner with my family. I was always the last one to get my food I don't know why and my parents would always make fun of me for it because I was always the last one to just get my food Oh, it's like a luck thing. I don't know I know but

you and i both got a caesar salad right yeah it was so fucking good the caesar salad it was very good and then our friend was like can we get a bottle of champagne and i'm like damn girl yeah dude i don't even fucking get any i was like what the fuck is this okay we're going bottle of champagne like slay yeah well how much was that 120 are you fucking kidding i would have brought a bottle of champagne bring your own booze

That's insane. And it didn't even feed all of us. Well, I said that. I was like, we're going to... It's not going to feed... Like, we can't all drink one bottle of champagne unless we do, like, baby, baby glasses. Sorry, I'm yawning. It's good vibes. She should have done, like, a bottle of fucking Casamigos or something. That would have been, like, 500. I know. Never mind. Never mind.

but um yeah it was a little fun i i love like girls nights like that even though my boyfriend was sitting right next to me it was a really fun dinner and like even the ride after because we went to a pre-game after which i guess to us was just a party because we didn't go anywhere after so it wasn't really a pre to anything it was our last stop like even the car ride was so fun like we were we were blasting it was literally but a five minute ride though keep that in mind

And we took forever to get there. You did? I feel like we got there after you. You get on that one road and then you're just downtown. But we went to the liquor store and then we, um, like had to find parking. Oh yeah. We parked in the garage. So it was really easy for us. Um, but we were like blasting Kelly Clarkson and like Pitch Perfect music. It was, we were blasting Pitch Perfect cause we met this guy at the restaurant who our friend. Oh dude, we need to talk about this. This guy walked past our friend. They literally, um,

made love with their eyes yeah and we were like you just fell in love with that man like you guys literally just fell in love but he goes back to a table there's three boys two girls and i'm like i don't think they're dating i don't think i don't think any of them are dating i was like i think they're cousins we're just like making up we're like they're home for the holidays brother sister cousins they're going to dinner like we were like just making up scenarios we're like they're not together and we're like you need to go get him like you can't just fall in love like that when he walks by and like

never see him again let's love your life yeah so it's like oh my god what we do we tell the waiters we're like give them this note and they're like no he's like that's he has a girlfriend no he didn't even say that he goes that's my friend from my my home country he said he's not single yeah he was like he's my friend from my my home country yeah we're like what the fuck i'm like that's a little bit ironic what so um

We're like, you know what? Fuck it. Take matters into our own hands. So one of our friends is like, fuck it, I'll do it. And literally gives him a note, like, come to our pregame with our friend's number who fell in love with him. And turns out he was single and he wasn't there with a girlfriend, but his name was Benji. Yeah. Moral of the story, his name was Benji. So it immediately made me think of Pitch Perfect because in Pitch Perfect, his name is Benji. So then we were singing Pitch Perfect in the car. And that's how we got to Pitch Perfect. Oh, did you notice how uncomfortable I was with that, though? The note writing? Yeah.

So my boyfriend's sitting next to me on one side and then Haley is sitting next to me on the other. And Haley is the one that wanted the note. And he was like, Sam, like, will you write this for me? I'm like, dude, like my boyfriend's right next to me. Like, yeah, but it's for her. I know. But like I, he didn't hear the conversation. So all of a sudden he just turns and we'll see me writing a note. Are you single? Like, so I look at him and go, this is impressive.

me like that's funny it's really but it was a very funny thing to do at the restaurant and i hope we made their night a little bit funnier well no did you hear that he texted her yeah they kind of like they should have wrote down her instagram

because he didn't know there's a group of 10 girls he didn't know which girl he was talking to and he was like oh are you the one that gave me the note and then she responded back and was like no haha different girl and he just never answered yeah because he's confused but i hope at least we made their night like they went home and laughed about it yeah i sure hope more interesting that's funny i've never like in my single life i never did anything like that never done that yeah maybe i will soon yeah probably not maybe if i'm wasted yeah

Then we went to the pregame and guys I knew going into the night I was not drinking because we were bar crawling the next day. So I was just going for the vibes because it's my friend's birthday. I want to make her happy. We're going to do cake and another happy birthday celebration. And then like all of our friends were going to be there like I couldn't not go. So we went and it took a fucking while because it was actually two of our friends birthday in the same night. So it just took a really long time for everyone to actually get there. We didn't end up sitting happy birthday until like

9 30 um and then we dipped like right after and went home but i'm so happy i went home because i'm just going into the new year like i've already told talked about this with like a few of my other girlfriends like i'm over going out twice a weekend a lot period and i'm

I'm gonna do dry January besides when we go to Fredericksburg because when we go to Fredericksburg, I have to drink. But it's gonna be casual as fuck. Casual. Like, we're not going out to the bars. Like, by the time nighttime comes around, we're gonna be sitting in the... Like, we're gonna be day drinking, if anything. No, it's gonna be so casual. I'm trying to go out less, like, in general, which is, um... But then when the summer comes around, like, I'm gonna be going fucking ham. Balls to the walls. Just give me a few months, okay? I need a break, okay? This has been a long year. I think the only going out, like...

I'll go on, like, first dates. Yeah. And, like... I don't know. Like, I don't want to be, like, in the bars. Well, we... So, I was... I like a bar... Like, yesterday... Saturday was so fun. I need that one every, like, three months. Or once every two months. Like, because it was so fun. I don't need to do it again for a little while. See, the thing is, like, I felt fine the next day. Oh, me too. Well, I had a little bit of anxiety. We'll get to why. Yeah. But I just felt fine because it was day drinking. I felt fine, too. But, um... No, but the reason I bring this up is because...

honestly like at dinner i had so much fucking fun that like i would look forward to doing that twice in a weekend i will get to my sunday but my sunday was like the best night like i had so much fun yeah well like i'm saying like if i want to drink like my my drink atmosphere like i would prefer going out to dinner and then like going home but making the dinner reservation at like

So that way when you're done, it's like almost 10. It's like, okay, I can go home now. Or if you don't want the vibes to just end. Hey, everyone come over. Or everyone come over. Like, I have two bottles of wine. Yeah. We'll just vibe. Yeah. Like, perfect. Yeah.

Yep. Especially... Well, even too, if we move out at the end of our lease and say you live downtown, even though one of our friends does live downtown, a lot of the restaurants are downtown. It would just be so much easier because we could be like, okay, let's go back to this person's place because it's downtown. Yeah, we should have sleepovers when we live separately. We should have sleepovers. Yeah, well... Because it's like we wouldn't invite people back to our place after dinner because we live so far up north that it's like, no, don't come back here. Yeah. I wouldn't offer it. Yeah. But...

I 100% get you. So we had a very chill night to prep for the day of all fucking days. We had like a Santa con. And if you're like, oh, this was like an Austin thing. It was just an us thing. Yeah, I know. It wasn't like a citywide affair. There was a lot of people doing Christmas themed bar crawls because like it's the weekend before the holidays. So like an ugly sweater in sight wasn't like uncommon. But this was not a citywide thing. This was literally us being...

I don't know. Just insane. Yeah. The boys did it the year before, but they only did boys only when they did it.

And they were like, okay, we want to do it this year, but we actually want the whole friend group to do it. We want it to be fucking... There was like 50 of us. Yeah. No, dude, probably way more than that. We would walk into an empty bar and fill it. Yes. And literally fill the bar. The bartender's eyes would glow up because we just looked like dollar signs when we would walk in. The bars were empty because it was two and kind of cold. Yeah. So empty. We walk in and these bartenders go from having no service to...

We had to wait for drinks. Our group was so big that we went to a bar and had to wait for drinks. We would fill up an empty bar. Yeah. It was crazy. And I think they were like, holy shit, money. But also like it was like one bartender and she was probably like, oh, fuck. Yeah, I know. I was not prepared. But we show up to these bars, Santa costumed. OK. And when I just realized Halloween, this whatever, something about being in a costume, like

The vibes are so... Everyone's so jolly. Everyone's so... No one's taking themselves serious. It's all like... It's all just a good time. Everyone's in a good... Something about being in a costume, like you're gonna get drunker. Like I feel like when you go out in a costume. Yeah.

It's going to be a day. Like, you're wearing a fucking costume. The thing is, too, with all the boys, they all had the same costume on. Oh, I was like, who are you? So when I was trying to find my boyfriend, I was like, like tapping random men on the back. Like, oh, you're not my boyfriend. You're not my boyfriend. Whereas like the girls at least like had different outfits. Like some of us weren't even wearing hats. So I could like see in the crowd. But every boy had a Santa hat on and like glasses. I was like, oh, I'm never going to find my boyfriend. People would come up to me like, hey. And I'd be like, hey.

Who are you? I'm like, what? And I'm like, oh, okay. I'm like, sorry, you're all wearing the same fucking outfit. Yeah. I'm lost. Like, I have no idea who's who. But it was a very fun, like, oh, I just love going out in a costume. Me too. It's a theme every weekend. So fun. So fucking fun. It's a giving themed party. We should do it for St. Patrick's Day and all be leprechauns. Yeah. That would be so fun. It was like Wurstfest. Like, Wurstfest was so fun. Like, love wearing a costume. I loved it. So fun. Um...

Of course, got it all on Amazon. So we're at these bars. I didn't drink at the first bar because I was like, let me ease into this first one. I should have probably not drank at the first one. Dude, I was going to do the same, but the fucking minimum at that bar was $10. And they were fucking... That's when... Remember when I looked at you and I was like...

You probably didn't understand what I was saying. You said your first drink was like $8. Yeah, so I go, hey, can I get a ranch water with tahini on the rim? And he goes, yeah, what else? I'm like, what do you mean? I was like, that's it. He's like, no, you have to get something else. It's a $10 minimum. I'm like, well, how much is that drink? He's like, $8. And I'm thinking in my head, can you just charge me for something different? I don't want to get two drinks right now. I just started. It's 2 p.m. And I was like...

Can I have a tequila shot? So I get a tequila shot and then I'm just pouring half of it into the cup and then taking a shot of the other one. And then we ended up realizing that one of the bars that we had to go to next was closed. So we had to stay at that bar even longer because every bar was a 30 minute block. And we realized we're like, okay, we have to stay at this bar for another 30 minutes. And I wasn't getting another drink, but I was like,

Okay, well now I have to, but also at the same time, I don't want to because it's a $10 minimum. And then I went to go order my drink with the expectations of it being a $10 minimum. And he goes, do you want to close it? I'm like, yeah.

And then he charged me like $12 for the drink that time. And I was like, bro, like you told me like 10 minutes ago it was a $10 covered or minimum. Like you just made me get a fucking tequila shot at 2 p.m. for no reason. I was sober the first bar. Like again, should have honestly stayed sober the first like three. But, you know, I was like this bar will be good. I'm not going to drink. And I was just kind of vibing and like.

okay i'm like wait what do i how do i want to like go let's go bar to bar to bar yeah well at this bar i like started talking to this guy well he kind of which one the first one yeah you were talking to him there okay but like i was sober so it's a little awkward yeah but like i started talking to this guy like so he was just like only knew one of my friends but the guy that he knew didn't even come

So he didn't really know anyone. I was like, how do you... Like, who do you, like, know? And he's like, nobody. And I was like, oh, okay. That's so ballsy of him. Well, he knew... He knew probably, like, friends of friends, like, knew of people, probably wasn't close with any of them. And then more people came that he, like, kind of knew of. But, I mean, he vibed. Nice. I'm going to try to pull up the itinerary because I can't really remember the direct order of all the bars we went in. We went to Key Bar. Yeah, no. So we went from...

WTF to Parlor Yard. No, we went to Key Bar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Key Bar, Key Bar. And I liked being there, but also at the same time, it was just another one of those bars that it was literally empty. We were the only ones there. But we were so many people that like... It felt like a full bar. Yeah. We got there at 3 p.m., you guys. Yeah. I finally like started drinking and like the good vibes hit me quick. Yeah. Good vibes were flowing. And that's one of those bars where...

in the middle of the night it gets packed so they have a lot of like random little benches kind of like picnic table vibes of like when we talk about latchkey that you can stand on top of it so on the outside we were all just kind of like standing on top of those things like dancing around and just having a good time we were there for 30 minutes so it flew by but then when we went to rustic tap that's when i felt like oh fuck like that was the good vibe yeah but so in the midst of these two bars the guy that i started talking to like

Kind of like wasn't around.

He like kind of dipped again. Yeah. Well, Rustic Tap was like packed when we got in there. So I didn't see him at all at that bar. So just keep in mind that I'm like semi keep talking to this dude. Yeah. Rustic Tap is also one of those bars that has TVs everywhere. So if you want to go watch football, that's where you go. So when we showed up there, everyone's sitting down. It's casual. People are watching football and we just come in fucking storm a brewing. 50 drunk Santas. Yeah. Pile in. And then there's a turf area and there's a bunch of people playing like cornhole.

in the back and whatever so we just grabbed a bunch of tables like near the stage where like the cornhole is and we're just kind of hanging out there for a while and that's when a lot of people start to show up a lot like timmy and all them started showing up like there was a bunch of other groups that started to show up and i was like fuck yeah like vibes are really fucking the vibes are going except sam was bullying me at rustic town oh yeah that was oh my god that was so fun that wasn't even my idea it was like wasn't even that funny because i didn't so she's like i got us tequila shots and that's like on like

That's like not something you would do. No, but it was, okay. So it was, it was my boyfriend's idea, but he, he had to cover it up. Cause we, we needed obviously drinks too. Cause we just walked in there and he was like, okay, I'll get the drinks. You get the shots.

So he got you like a regular drink, right? Yeah. Yeah. So he got all of us ranch waters and then he goes, okay, I'm going to go distract her. I'm going to take the drinks over to like where we're going to be or wherever. And like you followed him. And then like I stayed at the bar and I got this tequila shots and I told the bartender, I go, I'm trying to fuck with someone. Can you please give me a water shot? And then two tequila. Oh wait, you guys took tequila? Yeah. Oh, I had no idea. So I,

She's like, I got tequila shots. I'm like, for me? Because I don't like that. She's like, random. I'm like, why me? Like, okay, whatever. We just run a mission to get you drunk. And then I was like, and you're like, I'm going to pour half of mine in my drink. And I always do that because I can't take a shot. So I dump the water in my fucking drink. And then I go to take it and I swallow it. And for a second, I was like, was that the best tequila I've ever had? And then I was like, that was water. Like, that was literally water.

Like instantly I was like that was water. I was like that was water or overnight I became a fucking shot champ. Like I'm like that was literally water. I think I was the only thing that bothered me. I was like I just poured water in my drink. I literally just poured water in my drink for no reason. Dude I think I should have done it when you were a little bit more drunk. I was like sober by that. I know that's what I'm saying. Like if I did it when you were more drunk you would have either like thought it was tequila or faked it and been like oh yeah like shot yeah.

I don't know. I was just like, that was water. Yeah. And then I, she's like putting the Snapchat filter on me. Well, on everyone. But, um, I literally opened my Snapchat. She has a video of me in the woods. The words say, what an idiot. And first of all, I don't know if you thought that I didn't know the filter was on it. The filter was on filter on everyone. Like, of course I knew the filter was on it. And like, literally it's like her being like pranked you so good. And then you tap and you're like, what an idiot. I'm like, what the fuck did I do to you? Yeah.

she fell for it she drank tequila okay like i was like i mean like being harassed it was very like funny sitting there but again this man that was like talking to me is kind of like nowhere to be found and i was like okay lame yeah he was really nowhere to be found and then we went to um parlor and yard and that's where things kind of like chilled out for a little bit this was like our break

Yeah, I got food. Yeah, I was gonna say, you got food? I sat on that fucking couch for probably the entire time we were there. I got food. I was chilling, sitting down, and then the man reappeared. Reappeared. He took a quick break. He took a quick break. Because he's like, yeah, never mind. I'll save it.

Well, I can like tell them what was going on. Yeah. Yeah. So like this guy was flirting with me like crazy and then a girl shows up and they're kind of like talking a lot the whole time. So I asked my friend that knows him. I'm like, that is girlfriend because, you know, I'm not trying to make an enemy at the bar. And she's like, no, no, it's not his girlfriend. And I'm like, OK, nice. And then when I'm sitting there eating my pizza, they kiss and I'm like.

that's really interesting i mean not that i mean doesn't owe me anything i don't know this man but i'm like weird but then he comes he's like buying me drinks buying me drinks like the whole time i paid for i think like one drink the whole day like buying me drinks the whole time like talking to me the whole time but i'm like you just like kiss this girl like what is going on so i was just mad confused but i was just trying to mind my business yeah no um

I don't even think I stood up from the fucking chairs that entire time. I got one drink. Oh, so my roommate's or my roommate, my boyfriend, my boyfriend's roommate bought me a drink for some random reason. And then like the entire time at the bar crawl, I'm trying to like make up for it by buying him a drink. But every single time I think I have the opportunity of like, oh, I'll finally buy it for him.

He he's like ahead of me and getting a drink. I'm like dude like bro I'm supposed to be buying you a drink here. Like what's going on? He bought me a drink too. Yeah and so I got one drink there and then just sat on the couch the entire time. I was on my boyfriend's lap the entire time and I so one of our girlfriends was sitting across from us and then took photos of us and then the next day like sent them to me and there's just photos of me just being like a drunk like mess just sitting on his lap like and she's like oh my god these are so cute. I'm like

Girl, I look disgusting. I look like a mess. You were very like sit on my boyfriend's lap, lovey-dovey. Oh, I was all over him. I don't know what was in the tequila. Oh, no. I don't know what was in the tequila Saturday, but I was... You were literally like, I love you. Yeah, no, I was. Yeah, I was like... Well, the whole week... Okay, to be fair, I only saw him once last week. So when I saw him like on the weekend, I was like...

Yeah, I could tell. I literally missed you so much. He's like, what's wrong with you? I was like, I just miss you. I can tell. I devoured my pizza. So good. So fire. And then we went to Wiggle Room. Oh, right. What? No. Wait. We went to Umbar.

We went to Unbar. Oh, Unbar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we go to Unbar, which is always dead. No one's ever there. It's just not ever good vibes when we're in there. If you're a group of girls ever walking into that bar, there's always creepy men in there that just want to fucking hit on you and make weird comments because there's like a sex toy vending machine in there. And it's just like, it doesn't give good vibes when you walk in there. And...

every time it's like someone will make a weird fucking comment but the entire bar is like a circus yeah so we go there again I'm getting free drinks from this dude and here he kind of like ditches the other girl and he's like really talking to me like a lot so I'm like okay like confused like confused I'm like but whatever he's all like like ask me out like ask me all these things I'm like is this not your girlfriend like I'm so confused but again I'm just getting my free drinks and really living my best life

Yeah. I just kept getting drinks handed to me. There's a massive elephant and a slide there. So, like, a bunch of the boys are trying to jump onto the massive elephant. Like, the bouncers are yelling at them, kicking them out. Like, that's why we left. They got kicked out? Some of them got kicked out, yeah. So, that's why we had to leave and go to the next bar. But then there was a slide and everyone's going down the slide, having a good time. I couldn't go down the slide because I was wearing a dress that literally my cooch... Like, I was...

would show everyone everything if i went down that slide so i couldn't go down it i think i went down it maybe once but other than that and then we took photos there again empty bar and it was time to go because people got kicked out so then we went to little woody's after oh yeah yeah yeah but also when i said how men are trash we also had an instance where this guy that like

has a has hooked up with one of our friends was trying to like ask me out and i was like you're disgusting so then we were like fuck him so we walk into this bar he's already in there i guess we're kind of behind we walk in like arm and arm like running in and he looked at us like being friendly like oh shit like i fucked up like he looked at us like uh-oh like he was dead ass like

Because we like came in together and he was like, oh shit. And then again, I'm at the bar with this dude who's buying me drinks, but also with this girl. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. And speaking of just trash men, we've also been having this other issue with.

If you guys can remember, like, this was a while ago. But I was truly convinced that one of my guy friends has this ex that I thought was fucking batshit crazy. And the ex would swipe up on my shit. Because we're mutuals on Instagram because we both do, like, social media for work. And she lives here, too. And she swiped up and was like, oh, my God, that's my ex. When I, like, posted a picture with him. And, like, he just convinced me that she was the crazy one. And whatever. Whatever.

Fast forward to this past weekend. This fucking man is like now talking to one of our friends and we find out he has another fucking low-key girlfriend on the side. So he's like dating two girls at once. I'm like, so you're the problem. You're the fucking problem. And I'm pissed that I ever like even thought for a second that your ex was crazy because you're crazy. You're crazy. And it's sad because it's like obviously in my mind, he's like kind of my friend. So I'm going to like take his side, like take his word for it. But no, after seeing your actions with women, you're

you're the crazy one. Your ex is not the crazy one. That's so hard when you have guy friends and they fuck up with girls. Yeah. Like, well, now you're putting me in a weird situation because like, now I know this about you that you like are kind of shitty to girls, but it's like, we're just friends. And like now, like now you just ruin fucking everything. Yeah. Because now it's like,

I feel even weird being friendly to you because I'm like, you're an asshole. Yeah. It's just so I hate like men doing that, especially when you get close with like I had these guy friends that would we were so close that they thought they could like talk to us about girls. But sometimes we guys talk about girls are disgusting. Even the best of guys. They talk about girls kind of disgusting. And we'd have to be like, can you not say this around us? Like, I don't want to fucking hear your crap.

So the whole time, literally from the second we got to the first bar to the end of the night, we were just shit-talking men and how crappy they were. Yeah, it was crappy men. It was just like left and right. There was just an issue going on. Yeah, because not only were those two guys, like I said, causing trouble, and then it's like, like I said, the guy that was talking to me but also had a girl. It was just like, what's going on? Like, what's going on with the men? No, it was horrible. Literally horrible. And then that is when we finally went to Wiggle Room.

Wiggle Room was a chaotic time. Dude, Wiggle Room, I felt like I was in a dungeon in like this dark place and I had no idea where the fuck I was. You were sitting on the couch with your boyfriend just like... The entire time. And I knew I was going to Irish Goodbye at some point like at that bar. I was like, there's no way I'm going upstairs to Cat's Pajamas. You did. I went up there.

You had to have because your boyfriend was like asking me about stuff that happened. I did go up there. When did I Irish goodbye? I don't know. I didn't. I told you that. I told you that. I didn't know that you left. Holy fuck. I didn't know that you left. I was up there. I didn't get a drink up there though. Because I remember I have a photo with Hayley and Nikki on the stage. Holy fuck, dude. I must have blacked for a quick minute.

Me too. I'm at Wiggle Room and this guy, like I'm at my waist end because I keep getting drunker. So I keep getting more like, what the fuck? Like with this, like buying me drinks, flirting with me and then being with this girl. I'm like, what do I do? So I tell some other ones of our girlfriends. Oh my God, they're so invested. They're like freaking out. Like I'm in the bathroom talking about it and literally they're storming in like, what's going on? Like the tea was piping hot. It was like everyone needed to know what was going on because I'm like, what the fuck, bro? It got to the point that I asked the girl.

I was like, are you, like, are you together? I'm like, because I know he's going to say no. But what are you, are you together? Like, from your mouth. Yeah. No, no, no, no. And I'm like, okay. Just wanted to get that confirmation out of your mouth that this isn't, like, your boyfriend. Like, I don't know. I'm like, good. Glad I got that out of your mouth. They, like, kiss again. I'm talking to my friend. I go, they just kissed again. And I literally...

five centimeters away from my head is the girl and we like make eye contact after i said they just kissed again i was like oh shit she literally just heard me say that she was right there they like take a selfie on his phone and she kind of like has her like tits out in the selfie what the fuck is going on literally what's going on and i think like like he i think at that moment katel is kind of just like over it like i was like i'm like over this crap and then he like ditched her

Dude, the thing is, like, public PDA in a bar at 5 p.m.? What is going on? It's 5 p.m. I was like, bro, like, I mean, I was getting my free drinks again, so I was okay with it. But, like, he could tell I was, like, over it. Like, I was over it. Like, I was like, I'm done, like, putting up with your crap. Like, I'm not doing this anymore. And somehow between that bar and the next bar, he literally ditched her. Yeah. So I won.

She wasn't around for much longer into the night, no, right? No, neither were you. Well, yeah. Well, she was. So we go to Kat's and our other friend buys me a drink. And I was telling Sam how I just love when, even though this other guy's like not anyone, like he was just being nice. It was your boyfriend's roommate. He was just being nice because I was like, oh, pina coladas, whatever. But like, this guy doesn't know. So just like, oh, thanks. Like another guy bought me a drink. Like, teehee. Like, I'm just so...

So wanted. Look at all these guys flirting with me even though this guy wasn't trying to date me. But he doesn't know that. So I'm just getting my free drink. It's like, hold on a second. I got to go over here with this guy that's getting me a drink. So I got this pina colada. That did me over the edge. That was for sure. Those pina coladas are a little gasoline. That was for sure a bad move. But we were literally, for a little bit, I was kind of running around cats. But for most of cats, we were just sitting talking at the bar. He said he ditched this girl.

We're just sitting talking at the bar the whole time. She was nowhere to be found. But I guess she was still there because we're sitting talking the whole time. You leave at some point. I don't know when. And then we go to Buford's. I'm like running around Buford's. Again, like no one's in there. So I'm just kind of like running around, blah, blah, blah. I mean, this guy like making out in Buford's. Slay. Which making out in Buford's is something I've done with, I think, every single man I've ever spoken to in this city. It's literally same. It's a...

It's my favorite thing to do. Yeah. So that's all I wanted to do. I was like, I just want to make out in a bar. Like, what's a girl got to do to make out in a bar? And I know that she was there because he said that he got some angry text messages from her because I guess she saw. But I wasn't there for long. Yeah. I dipped, obviously, at Kat's, which...

I do remember, like, Haley has eyes on me like a fucking hawk. Because she never wants me to Irish fry her, whether it's Lashley, wherever the fuck we are. Even if I say I'm going to the bathroom, she looks at me and goes, you better not be fucking leaving. And I'm like, bruh, chill. Like, I'm just going to the bathroom. And you are leaving. Yeah. But this time around, like, Saturday, I'm like, okay, like, I'm leaving. And she's fucking grabbing my hand like, don't go, don't go. I'm like, Haley, I'm going. And you're not stopping me. And we left. And we...

Wanted to try that new burger place, the Wagyu Burger Place that has been trending all over TikTok. So they have two locations, one on east, one on rainy. So we were like, let's go to the rainy one and then see how rainy it is and maybe have another drink before we actually go home. We get over to the burger place and it's one of those places where when they...

officially run out of food is when they close like they're not gonna stay open so they ran out of food they were closed and we were told that we're like fuck and the burger or the food trucks on rainy street are just not good so we're like all right looks like we have to like go to like an actual sit-down restaurant so me and my boyfriend literally in santa claus outfits no one on rainy street is dressed up for christmas so me and him stick out like a sore thumb like in christmas outfits

And we go over to this restaurant and he's kind of like freaking out about it a little bit. He's like, everyone's going to think we're like this like cheesy couple that's just wearing Santa costumes, like going on a date. Like we can't be doing this. We can't be here. And I'm like, I'm like, it's literally not that deep. No one probably thought that. They know you were somewhere else. Yeah, we were obviously just somewhere else. Like we look like we're drunk. Like we've had a day and we just got dinner at Anthem. I love that place. Yeah, so good. And I got...

We got an appetizer and an entree and then it was just time to go home and I was literally in home in bed by 9 30 Amazing. I didn't get home that late. I got home 10 like I did not get home early at all. Um And my night was crazy. Yeah, it just feels so good when you get home after a full day of drinking like that And you're in bed at 9 30. You are not hung over the next morning. Yeah, I like I felt fine. I woke up

I just didn't get a lot of sleep. I didn't do anything bad though, guys. That was good. Yeah, what do you do? What happened? So apparently, I'm like, I had like fuzzy spots. But like at first, I didn't think I went to Buford's and then I totally remembered going to Buford's, going to the back and seeing Haley and some friends sitting and then like I stood on a table because I like asked him, I was like, wait, we went to Buford's? He's like, yeah, you're really dancing on a table. I was like, there we go. It's all coming back to me. I was like, got it. I was like, I do remember dancing on the table at Buford's. That's all you got to say. Dancing on a table.

He's a big elevated surfaces girl. I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Isn't every other girl? Like if you're dumb. So we come back. I don't know. He said that I just took his phone and Uber and put my address in it to go home. And I was like, valid. I was trying to dip. Um, so I get home. I did not do anything though with said boy. We just went to sleep. I caused chaos and broke two cups and,

being drunk idiot. Um, but I go to sleep. I wake up at four in the morning. I wake up at four in the morning with this fucking dude at my house. Oh my God. I, I sprint. I sprint out of bed to go to the bathroom because I'm like, bitch, get your shit together. I literally bolt. Can I go, I go pee. I go like, take my makeup off. I like brush my teeth. Like it's like four in the morning and I come back. He's like, are you good? It was like, and I was like,

did you say you either really had to pee or you're like having a panic attack i was like both it's like definitely a little bit of both but i'm good now then we were like up so we're like chit-chatting about the night at like five in the morning and neither of us are like going to bed but like i said we didn't do anything uh-huh we're just like didn't do anything because i mean i know it's the bare minimum but i'm like i know i was drunk and like appreciate him for not doing anything fucking stupid like we literally just went to bed

um and we literally talked for like so long because we were just awake like you know when you wake up and it's like oh fuck i was like when i was like five in the morning and we're awake but i was like we'll go back to sleep and we actually got along really well he was really cool and then he left in the morning and i like was fake sleeping because i like didn't want to like um i always talk so i was just like that and then like i like could hear the front door and i was like oh yes i was so happy like when i could hear that he was trying to get up it was probably close to 8 a.m i was like

I was like, thank God. Because I did not want to like have someone in my fucking house. Yeah. You know what I mean? I was like, thank fucking God. Yeah. So that was like amazing that he fucking left. But it was kind of wild. Right away at like one of the first bars, you were like, hook up with me. I did say that? Yeah. And I was like...

I was like, maybe. You're like noted. Okay. I was like trying. Okay. I think his girlfriend's here. Fuck. But it was fun. It was, um, you know, haven't done that in a while. Yeah. So it was fun. That is fun. But I, we were talking about it. So my boyfriend and I obviously, we slept at his house. And then in that morning I had to come home, take a shower or whatever. And then I,

I'm taking a shower and he's like fucking with you and looking over your shoulder while you're eating your fucking bagel and just being annoying. But then he comes into my room and he's like...

Remember you would make me try to stay in the morning and just giving me shit because when we and him first started talking... He would always leave in the morning. He would leave so fucking early. And I'm like, this man wants nothing to do with me other than just hook up and go home. And I would do anything to get this man to stay. And he will not give me shit because... Or will not start giving me shit about this one time when we were in the beginning stages of just hooking up and...

And he's lit. I'm, my eyes are opening up and he's halfway out my bedroom door. And I look at him and I go, where are you going? He goes, oh,

the gym and go no stay like i want to make you breakfast and he won't stop giving me shit about it being like oh my god you were so desperate for me like you were literally like begging to make breakfast you were but i mean i was but like stop giving me shit about it now he's dating you so like you can't i know so clearly it worked i was see yeah i was obviously i was like please get out um and i think honestly it was really fun to hang out with a dude and like not sleep with them yeah like and just like

Have a little fun. And now, he said he'll take me to dinner. Yeah, I'm happy that you didn't sleep with him. Not that I thought you would, but... I mean, I'm happy I didn't too because I was drunk. Yeah, also, like, there's no better feeling than just, like, bringing a guy home and not hooking up with him and then him, like... He's probably, like, a little bit discouraged. He's probably like, fuck. Also, from, like, a...

Obviously like my breakup still recent like I'm not ready for that. Yeah, like I'm I'm not ready for that That was even a little bit much for me either not but guys are the other way around like if they get over a breakup They're like yeah, no like that that would have been too much for me Like I like wouldn't want to do that. I'm like not ready for that Like like even like it was a little bit much for me I was like, okay I don't know if I was like ready to do that but fuck it. It was fine and like he was cool. So it's like whatever This is the step in the right direction to never ever texting your ex ever again after a night out

Period. Step in the right direction. Checking the boxes off one by one. Bail's fun. Yeah. Said to take me to dinner. I literally all of Sunday ate out the entire fucking day. I like literally like rotted and then I had girls from my dance studio.

um they were just like let's do a little like christmas like get together thing it was literally like six of us um and i've never hung out with them outside of dance like they hang out a lot um and then so kindly they like invited me to come and i was like yeah we all come we when i tell you everyone brought so much fucking food like so much food i was like jesus fucking christ like we were like oh yeah we're gonna eat like all of it no we didn't there was just

so much food like ridiculous but it was so good um we literally just ate like a fuck ton of food some people brought alcohol but thank god how many people were there six oh yeah and there was like a she was like i'll keep it as a mocktail and like she just like brought the alcohol i was like yeah i'll not be drinking i was like i had a fucking day yesterday so no alcohol for me and then it was funny because like i don't know them that well so it's just kind of like yeah i went out last night and then as the night got better i like was like

Told them the whole story of what happened, but it's so fun. Like it was such a wholesome girls night. And I'm like, I love wholesome girls nights. Like we just played games and like talked. And it's so fun playing card games with girls. You don't know that well or people. Cause it was like, um, we played, I think it's called for the girls. It's like different cards where you like have like dares, like most likely to, or something. We ended up kind of only doing the most likely to, um,

and it's funny because we don't know each other that well so like when you get it and it's like oh shit like wait who like yeah it's just funny when you don't know like everything about someone so like that was really funny like with it's like fun to get to know people through card games i love a good card game like so that was really fun i made monkey bread it was so good and like everyone chefed it up it was crazy but it was it was fun i was there forever i got home at like 11 30 which i wasn't expecting to be there so late but i don't know just like

ran late i guess but yeah and like all different ages too but like that's just what happens people it doesn't matter once you hit like i don't know like 22 yeah but because like 21 is like oh my god you're 21 but then like what yeah yeah but it was very very wholesome and then we did like white elephant but just with socks and i almost forgot to get fucking socks literally the whole point was that we were just gonna like literally do white elephant with socks that was like honestly the whole point it was three o'clock i'm leaving at 4 30.

Um, my friend was picking me up because like we're like neighbors and literally it's three o'clock and I was like the fucking socks. This is the whole point. So I had to take my ass to fucking. Well, I went, we live kind of close to a boutique. I'm like, they have to have socks, cute socks. No socks. Not a single pair. I'm like, so I go to target and I ended up getting like really good ones. Do you get toe socks? No, I got slipper socks. Did anyone bring toe socks? Oh, I got slipper socks for like, um, and they were like,

They were fire, but it was really fun. It was very wholesome. Learned a lot. Like, it's so funny just like learning random things about people and like what people are interested in or do. Like, I don't know. It's just funny. It is funny. Especially like I said, I think it's so funny when girls get together and all of a sudden like the only thing people talk about is like sex. Yeah. It's like, why is that what we're talking about? Yeah. It's just kind of like the default. Like girls just love to sit around and talk about sex. Yep. Like, and I'm like, why the fuck are we talking? Like, it's just so weird how it's just like,

Just like slowly escalates to like, okay, now we're literally just talking about sex. Yeah. And, but it's funny to just like get to know people. Meanwhile, I'm at my fucking boyfriend's house watching football all day. And you know how we've talked to mad crap on his fucking happy trail a lot. And I told him that we were, do you shave it? No, we do. We got in conversation of his happy trail and he threatens me and he goes, don't make me pull out some lint from it and like give it to you.

I'm not even kidding, Taylor. He literally put his finger in his belly button and pulled out like a small little ball of lint out of his belly button. And then he started wrestling me and trying to like shove it in my face. It was fucking disgusting. I feel like that shouldn't have been on the podcast.

It's so gross. It's so fucking gross. Ew. I know. And that's his fault. Like, no offense to him. Like, I'm like putting his fucking life out there right now. But don't be coming at me and attacking me with your lint from your belly button. It was disgusting. That is disgusting. I literally wanted to. He stays doing gross shit to you. He does do gross shit to me. Oh, I can't wait for him to come home next week and my dad just like rip him to shreds.

He's never met my dad. And your brothers. No, he met my brothers. Oh, right. But were you like dating, dating? No. But like when I remember we were at Lucky Duck when my brothers all first met them and he sat right across from my brothers. And I was like, oh, awkward. I'm getting up and going to the other side of the table. Awkward. That's the boy I'm hooking up with. So I'm going to the other side. You guys, you three can fucking shout it up. Yeah. Very, very funny. I'm excited for that. I'm excited for that stuff. And that was basically...

I'm excited to go home though tomorrow because I'm not a long ass day. I'm getting up at like 430 and going to the Bruins game that night. I'm not gonna be home until like one o'clock. My flight's at five in the morning. Kill me. But it's fine. Land at nine. I have the whole day. I don't know what I'm doing when I. Oh, dude, I'm gonna have a fucking cannoli tomorrow. I'm gonna go watch the Bruins. Like I'm gonna have like the best fucking day tomorrow. I don't know what exactly I'm doing when I'm home. I'm gonna. So basically when I go home.

My whole family is going to be home, which rarely happens. Like we've had all of my siblings home, but then like my sister doesn't maybe bring all of her kids. Like it's, it's, we've never had every single person home staying in my house. So my sister and her husband and her three kids are coming. And then my,

like my brother and his girlfriend and my grandma and like my uncle and my other sister and her kids. So like all four of the my nieces and nephews will be at my house. So my house is going to be very chaotic. It'd be your hell. It would be my hell 1000%. Well, I'm so excited. There's going to be nothing better on the history of planet Earth. I can't wait to be home with my nieces and nephews. It's going to be a lot of like

chilling doing like some kids stuff like we're going to go see like christmas lights you know yeah i was saying yesterday i was like i really wish going home meant i wasn't really gonna drink because i just don't want to but i don't think that's going to be the case for me

My family is a very big like drinking family and then on top of that all of my friends are still home. So I just feel like I'm going to be drinking quite a bit. If I drink it's just going to be like on Christmas we like want to make fun cocktails. Yeah. But like I don't go out when I'm home because I don't really have my best friend is home but she's going to be gone most of the week. So I have to try to see if I can see her but she's going on a cruise. Oh sick. Yeah. She's Jewish so she doesn't celebrate Christmas. So. Oh yeah. She's.

Yeah, that's what I don't know if like a lot of people really I was asking my boyfriend like what his holiday traditions are on Christmas Eve. And he said he doesn't really do much. See, my family is the opposite. So Christmas Eve is like our day. So it's at my house. And we have a lot of like friends and family that are Jewish. So we'll just have everyone over our house. And it turned into a party like rager party because like, well, anyone that doesn't celebrate Christmas will come to our house.

So it's basically just more friends than it is family at my house. And everyone is just getting plastered. People stay at my house until like nearly midnight. So in Miami, it's common for Christmas Eve to be the bigger thing because it's a very Hispanic thing to do a big Christmas Eve. Like that's very traditional. But we've never done a big Christmas Eve because we don't have like a massive family. But we're going to do cute stuff. We're going to just do a charcuterie board night for dinner and like make cocktails and...

Hang out with the children. But then it's like my mom's birthday is that week too. Lots of like random things. Yeah. I was, I don't have a car when I go home too. So I'm like really struggling on what the freak I'm going to do during the day. Hopefully that I can like organize it correctly where I like at least organize

Certain parts of the day can get a car so I can go to the gym or Go meet a friend for lunch or just get out of the house because I will literally go stir crazy I'm gonna try to be more productive when i'm home when i'm home. I do literally nothing and in a way it's like really nice because I just feel like i'm so relaxed like i'm just home and Like people cook for me and i'm just chilling but i'm gonna try to work out my sister like is Like on her workout grind. So I told her i'm like can we like work out together and like make sure we work out

Like go to workout classes or like even if we work out in the backyard like do something Because i'm trying not to be so fucking lazy when I go home not anything too crazy because i'm It's christmas and I don't care but I need to like do something so I don't

like go insane and I feel decent but I have a car I have my 2007 Pontiac from high school to whip around yeah I um which I guess we can kind of like just start to kind of talk about real quick with um everyone listening because I feel like the holidays are always something where it's a little bit tricky where you feel the guilt of not staying on routine but also want to enjoy it or maybe just don't have necessarily the best relationship with

food quite yet which taylor and i are fortunate enough where over the last few years we have definitely built that and now this is gonna be i would say last year i definitely was like that but this year it's like way different yeah it gets better every year it gets better every single year and if you're someone that's struggling with that just know that like it takes a year like it's going to take a while you can't better your relationship with food or exercise or anything overnight but i

every single year of going home is gotten quite better like last year I was a little bit in the head space of like beating myself up a little bit of like not working out while home but honestly this week when I go home if I don't if I can work out at least three times this week I'll be happy yeah if I can work out like I'd say like three times or maybe like four and like I said maybe nothing crazy like I'll even count going on like a long walk as a workout yeah me too and I think the way I try to think about it

Which like over thanksgiving, I feel like I didn't do this i'm gonna try to do it now Don't think anything bad you have to take out like don't like take out food or like take out drinks or Dessert or whatever like just like try to add in things that make you feel good Like try to add in a walk try to add in like drinking enough water like packing your vitamins like add in things that make you feel better because the reason i'm like, okay I want to work out because thanksgiving I did nothing over thanksgiving break and it's like then I don't feel great and I don't

make the most out of my day because i kind of sit around lazy and i'm like i don't want to sit around lazy all day i want to like make the most out of my time home yeah and if i wake up and like do a workout with my sister then i'll be like up and going and like i feel my best definitely when i just i'll get more done like because then i was just kind of like chilling sitting around to like 11 yeah and it's like well you just like wasted i know all day like there's a coffee shop kind of near my house and i kept being like i want to walk there um and go get coffee and i never did it and it's like

Why didn't you do it? Like, just because I go home and I get, like, really lazy. And it's like, but that's, like, fun. And, like, you could have walked there and got coffee and, like, do things that are going to make you feel better. Yeah. Like, literally just go do it. And then it's, like, that's kind of stuff, like, I'd rather do fun stuff. Like, I'm not going to make myself go lift. But, like, if I want to go walk and get coffee with my sister, like, that's fun. Yeah. My thing is also is I don't really want to spend a lot of money on a gym membership. Hell no. No.

You're fortunate where it's gonna be so fucking warm where you're going, but I'm going home and it's gonna be like 30 degrees. And in my head, I'm like, oh, maybe I'll just go on a run. Maybe I'll go on a walk. No. Literally no. I will freeze my ass off. I'm not used to that weather anymore. But I'm gonna try to. Like, I told myself I'm bringing my running shoes home with me to at least get out twice while I'm home and go on a run because I want to obviously continue running. But I live in the suburbs of...

in massachusetts like i don't live near the city where i can use class pass and just go to a bunch of workout classes so i'm just gonna try to do a lot of yeah outdoor things and i think even with your family like when i'm like oh i can work out like with my sister then it makes like a bonding thing with my sister yes like nothing that's like a punishment it's like yeah we can hang out like you want to go to a workout class and it's like that's something fun i get to do with my sister not like oh fuck i like

have to go yeah it's like now it's like an activity yeah i remember last year when i went home and i would go to the gym with my brothers we wouldn't work out together just because like you know they want to hit chest and i wanted to do something else like legs or whatever and just being with my brothers at the gym and going to the gym together taking pre-workout together like i loved that whereas two years ago three years ago like i would be going to the gym after a night out like

Because I wanted to punish myself for the night out that I had because I was on break It was a holiday. I extra indulged in food or whatnot and was forcing myself to go to the gym So ladies if you're listening to this and you're going to the holidays And you have the mindset of i'm going to go to the gym The next morning because of all the extra food and everything that I ate the next day Or the day before and you need to burn it off like don't Go into the gym with that mindset

Like take the break if you need it. That's one thing like that I feel like helped me when I had that really bad relationship with food is if I was going to the gym punishing myself, being self-aware of that's what I was doing when I was going to the gym is I was going to punish myself and then taking a step back from the gym and not going. Yeah. So another thing is like the Apple Watch. That was one thing that really... Oh, don't even bring it home. That's what I'm saying. Don't even bring your Apple Watch home. Don't set yourself up for failure knowing that if those numbers...

dictate your happiness on that watch just take it off and i know like it's really fucking hard taking that thing off like you feel so attached to it like it owes you something but just don't bring it don't wear it let it die like taylor didn't you let yours die or something i haven't charged mine yeah like a year i'm not even kidding i want to actually start charging it again because um i kind of miss it like for certain things like but i haven't used it in so long yeah and i keep forgetting to put it on i'm like oh maybe i'll like

Like, track this walk. And I'm like, but you literally haven't worn your Apple Watch in forever. And it's, like, freeing. It is freeing. It's freeing to not be counting every single thing you fucking do. And I feel like we are definitely two walking examples, if you need it, of, like, you can have fun, you can let loose, and your progress isn't going to just...

fucking plummet. You're able to just keep moving, moving on. And I'm so happy that we've been able to like build that relationship with food and whatnot. And with food, like I know we talked a lot about exercise. When I go home, I eat literally anything I want. Me too. Like you're telling me like, my like grandma's cooking me dinner. Like I don't get that here. Yeah. Like every time I'm eating it and I'm eating all of it, something I'm trying to be better at. Again, like you want to feel good. You don't want to be home feeling like trash. You're trying to enjoy it. So like as long as you're good about like

Like before I used to be like, this is the only time I'm going to eat bad. So I'm going to eat like everything I possibly can because I'm going to be good after this where it's like, just eat what you want. You don't have to get absurdly full and put every single like dessert in your mouth because you're never going to have it. It's in January. You're never having a dessert. You're going to eat all the dessert right now. It's like you can literally just have like a bite or two and.

Fucking forget about it. Yeah. Or where it's like, oh, it's Christmas and I'll just eat it all today and like rest of the time I'm home. I'll be good. Yeah. It's like, why not just have a little bit every day while you're there? No, that's one thing this year that.

intuitive eating when it comes to just mindfully eating and stopping when you're full like I there is nothing in this world I hate more than the feeling of being uncomfortably full to the point where like oh my god like I can't move and that's one thing I know where my body kind of like

I go over that line so i'll just stop eating like I don't need to be eating everything in front of me because I know like I'm gonna get uncomfortably full to the point where like oh, I wish I didn't do that I feel like half the time i'm home for holidays, too We do like a big brunch and like a dinner and then it's like I only really eat twice but at home i'm eating like three times But it's like I just if i'm hungry i'll eat and if i'm not I won't yeah, like if we have a big brunch and like dinner and like that's what it was for the day like

It's fine. Yeah. That's what like it doesn't need to be the same routine. I'm on here. I'm in a whole different place. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah. Especially us. We're going home for like 10 days. I don't know how some how long some of you guys are going home for. Maybe some of you guys are only going home for less than that. Maybe like five days. Yeah.

even a five-day weekend of being off 10 days whatever it is like you're not gonna lose any progress whatsoever and with drinking too intuitive about your drinking like if we do brunch my family will do mimosas i've been like not having a mimosa in the morning like maybe i will i'm not saying like 100 won't maybe i will but like i won't because like i know alcohol like if i drink and then stop drinking like i'm kind of gonna feel tired and like shit and like i get drunk up probably the fastest in my family and if i haven't eaten breakfast yet sorry i'm not drinking mimosas like yeah i'm about to be

blackout on this couch off champagne because i haven't eaten breakfast yet like so it's just like little things like that where it's like i don't have to drink just because i'm home and everyone's drinking mimosas yeah like uncommon maybe opinion but i just like when i'm with my family don't feel the need to drink i i get the need to drink when it's like i said me and my sisters want to make like cocktails so like that of like let's make a cocktail and like drink them and we're gonna like it's like a thing but i'm not just gonna like grab a

I'm not going to grab a beer just to drink it. I only like drinking if it's like, oh, we made something cool. On Thanksgiving, I made a cocktail. I don't know. I'm not just going to drink a seltzer. Gross. I'm not going to do that. Yeah. Because I kind of like that. Now that I like wine, I'll probably do that with dinner. Have a glass of wine. But it's like...

For instance, my brothers on Christmas and Christmas Eve are going to literally drink from the second they wake up till they go to bed. Fuck that. And it's like, I'm not going to do that. And I know there are some people out there that like do that. They'll just drink with their family like all day. And I just like, I don't, I'm a social drinker. Not like a, I just want to drink to drink. Like I want to drink because I'm social and I am out doing something. Yeah. And it's like, I want to drink to like enjoy a drink with like my mom, my sister. But it's like, maybe I'll have two.

yeah i'm trying to get drunk in my house and be like drunk with my grandma no i mean exactly like i don't feel the need to be drunk with grand i don't need to be like wasted no i'm happy we're on the same page with that like that's just like not it has its moments though like it definitely has its moments like sometimes like vibes are high maybe like sometimes vibes are high and maybe i will but i would say 98 of the time it's just sometimes like if we're all not happening well like

I really it's it's case by case and it's being intuitive like sometimes we're by the pool my dad's like gonna make margaritas and it's like okay fun yeah it's like but even then I probably only have two and I'm referring to like being home like if I'm on a vacation with my family that's a different story but if vacation drinks don't count yeah like if I'm just home in my in the comfort of my own home and we're all just family dinner Sunday dinner whatever like my brothers they'll get hammered I just

I don't need to do that. I think it's also because if I was getting drunk and I was like, oh, it's like wearing off or like whatever, it's like I would just go to sleep. And also my brothers, when they get drunk, they're just stupid boys that do stupid drunk boy things. And that's just not my form of drunk fun. So when it's just the three of us and we're getting drunk, sometimes they just do stupid stuff. And I'm like, I just don't prefer to do your stupid drunk fun. I'd rather just maybe go to bed. Yeah. A hundred percent. It's.

It's just like a balance of enjoying everything and not going balls to the walls that like you're literally gonna make yourself feel like garbage. We have one day where you feel like garbage like who cares? Yeah, like just lean into it and not a little like how many other days of the year 365 days you're I saw someone actually talk about this on tick tock. They said they give themselves out of the entire year of

300 days of being sober and then 65 of those days they'll enjoy like

an alcoholic beverage which if you think about that most people the average person does do that like they'll maybe just have like one glass or they'll have like one day on the weekend where they drink and it's like if you think about it 300 days out of this year and 65 of them is when i drink that's nothing i also saw this tiktok saying if you take one week sober out of every month uh-huh then that's three months of not drinking yeah

So it's really not that deep. No. Like it's... The year is a long year and it's not going to affect you like that. You never look back on a holiday and be like, damn. Like... I went too hard. That extra drink at Christmas. Like that extra drink at Christmas and that like piece of cake really, really fucked me. Yeah. I regret it bad. Like... Fuck. Shouldn't have had that extra piece of care cake. And...

Another note, don't fucking weigh yourself or look at yourself in the mirror. It's fucking Christmas. You're probably going to be puffy. You're probably going to be a little puffy. Wear comfy clothes. Wear comfy clothes. It's going to go away, but let me tell you, after Christmas brunch, I know I'm a...

probably look a little puffy and in the morning it'll go away. But it's like after I eat, I don't need to go fucking look at myself in the mirror. You know, it's like it's going to go away.

Bye. V, do you think we give too much advice on this podcast? Girl, this is a podcast. Advice does hit way harder when you cuss with it. Yeah. And we do plenty of that. This show, it ain't for kids. Definitely not for the kids, but we do talk a lot about family. I mean, it comes with the territory and with a show called Baby Mama's No Drama. I just wonder if people get the gist of the ad we just did. You mean like the massive billboard in Times Square? That one.

Well, yeah, that one, but also this one, right? I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Kale Lowry. And I'm V Rivera. And we're the hosts of Baby Mama's No Drama Podcast. The Webby Award winning Baby Mama's No Drama Podcast. Two baby mamas chatting it up about life, bedroom talk, family, and whatever drama we are trying to get out of the way. All while being just a little bit explicit. A lot explicit. Yeah.

So listen to us, the Baby Mamas No Drama Podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts.
