No Yeah, I had a pretty productive week last week in terms of like during the days um, I ran so many errands was doing so many like daily vlogs and like

This week it just slapped me in the face. I'm like, what the fuck? I have no energy at all. We switched. That was me last week. It was toward the end of the week and then going into the weekend and then now the beginning of this week. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, the beginning of my week last week was truly awful and horrible. And I truly can't even function as a human being the week before my period.

Or, like, kind of, like, a week and a half before. I don't know. I don't even know if mine's period related. I just genuinely think it's the weekend. Because, like, I just got off my period. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Mine was definitely period related. I'm, like, pretty sure. My psychiatrist told me a while ago that I have PMDD, which is, like, just really, really, really, really, really bad PMS. And I kind of just, like, blew it off. But it's, like, a real thing. And...

I think they were indeed right. And it just like smacks me in the face and I can't function. And I made a TikTok about it being like, guys, how do you combat this? Is this just how I have to live for the rest of my life? Like the week before my period, do I just have to just suck it up and just be fucking miserable? There needs to be a way to fix this. This can't be how I live. I can't have one week out of the month for the rest of my life be like this. And all the comments were like,

You got to lean into it and relax. I'm like, no, I can't. So still on the verge of figuring that out. And then this week is my like productive week. Yeah. Switched. I'm just hoping within like, I feel like I'm in a place right now with like my period and like balancing on my hormones that like my hormones are finally like, like catching up to me, but like not in the best way possible. Like I'm not balanced out whatsoever. Like I can just feel my body like,

trying to figure it out. But hopefully in like maybe three or four months, like I'm like a great human, like so like vibey with my body and like understanding everything, but not right now. So, but we had a pretty productive weekend, kind of like started our weekend. I mean, Thursday, what did we do Thursday? I always, by the way, someone made a comment in my Q&A. It was like, why are you always on your phone? I have my photo album up like during the catch up to remind me of things that happened during the week because I

your girl takes a lot of photos and videos during the week so it helps me a lot know like i got a comment about that they were like why every time you're talking is sam like on your phone not listening to you yeah well also another thing to keep in mind is we talk about like most of the things yeah like she probably already heard me like everything she says i'm like i've already heard this but my photos it helps me a lot with knowing what happens because it's got time stamps and shit but yeah i went to the pool or i was tanning like

Thursday and Friday. So like I feel like I have a great base color right now, which I love because I feel like I like lacked it for about like two weeks here because it was raining literally every single day. And then on Friday, we started our adventures, per usual. Started our adventures. Literally, we had such a just an adventure. Yeah, which like I'm the worst at like, oh, I'm going to go for casual drinks and

And then it never stays casual. But I really, this past weekend, went in tension with that. But then when you were like, oh, let's stay out. Let's put the cars back. And I'm like, oh my god. We're going out. You guys were going so...

I had like we were gonna have like casual drinks. I wasn't gonna have more than like one drink. I was just like we started up Mattel Ranchos and we got Cokes. Yeah. Yeah. Like I was gonna drive like I was like driving us like I really wasn't going to drink. And then I was like, we're literally staying out. Like I knew that that was the vibe. So I was like, fuck it.

And like my boyfriend had driven two in a separate car. So I was like, fuck it. We're going to go get our cars, drive them home, Uber back. Because responsibility, one thing, I was actually thinking about talking about this on the podcast since we did that. One thing, if y'all are like, yeah, you know what? Like we're inspiring you to like live life a little more, have fun on the weekends. Be fucking responsible and have safe times.

Ways of getting home be fucking responsible. Yeah, don't drink and drive. It's literally so stupid call an uber Have someone be designated driver. Don't do any of that stupid dumb shit So literally drove our cars home and I was so efficient with it. I literally I thought you weren't coming back I was like, she's not fucking coming back. You're not gonna come. I was like, no, I literally am I

I had GPS on so that it told me like how many minutes I was away from the house and the Uber said six minutes away. So when my GPS said six minutes away, I called the Uber and as soon as I pulled into the house, the Uber was already there. So I just got out of one car and another car and came right back. Yeah. Well, in my head, it kind of took a while because like I was like already... It took like 30 minutes but...

Within the 30 minutes, so much happened that we were at Lucky Duck and then we left. And then my sneaky link showed up and I was like, what the fuck? What are you doing here? Didn't think you were coming. And then we went to Lashkey and then I'm on Lashkey tables and I'm like, where's my friend? Yeah, but it wasn't that long. No, yeah. But then I checked your location and saw you were coming back. I was like, no fucking way. She's actually coming back. Yeah. But the thing is with the casual drinks thing is like, I...

Like, if I'm having a good time, like, why go home? You know what I mean? Like, I'm not going to regret staying out if I'm having a good time. I'll regret drinking more. Yeah, but in the same sense, it's like, but I had so much fun, so, like, I don't really care. But, like, if I didn't have a good time, then I'd be like, okay, whatever. But, like, it's never been like that, at least for me. Like, it's never been like, oh, I didn't have fun. Like, I wish I didn't go out. Yeah. So...

Yeah. And Taylor vlogs that day too. So you can check out her YouTube. I did vlog that day. I've been trying to vlog more on YouTube. Yeah. So like our guy friends are like so like they're just always want to have a good time. Professional fun havers. Professional fun havers. And they just love buying shots and like chugging their beers and like just like... It sounds horrible like explaining that. But like they just... I love being around them. So...

We got the four of us a shot and that's when I knew I'm like, I didn't take it. You didn't take it? I lucky duck? Yeah. No, that was before I took my car home. Who took it then? You and Joe. I thought there was four. No. Oh, fuck.

Well, anyways. Oh, wait. No, no, no. And my boyfriend, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's three. I didn't take it because I still had to take my car. Yeah. And it was fucking fireball. And I was like, I don't want to do that shit. Like, ew, gross. But then I did it anyway. And the one thing about Lucky Duck is it is happy hour. And I did not realize this because last week I explained to you guys. I was like, oh, my God. Like, the bartenders are flirting with me, like giving me two drinks for eight bucks. I was like, oh, my God.

No, it's happy hour until 8 p.m. And when I asked that this past weekend when we were there, I was like, what's the deal? Like, why are they drinks so cheap? They're like, it's happy hour until 8 for like a few of the cocktails. It was like espresso martinis, that martini thing that you liked. What is it? It's a mule. Okay, the mule. It's pink. And then some type of like other drink. And I was like, no way. I've got a dirty martini on... No, was that Friday? Saturday. Saturday. Yeah, but I get dirty martinis there sometimes and those like...

those put me on my ass but they're so good yeah so taylor brings her car back and i'm out with everyone else and we're transitioning from lucky duck to latchkey which is literally like a block down the road so as we're leaving i already am in the mindset that sneaky link's not even going out tonight because he had like this other party thing with his roommate that he had to go to and so i'm like whatever like full rage tonight like i'm gonna find me a man we're

we're walking out and he's just standing there like at the entrance like coming in and he's like hammered and I'm like what are you doing here it's like that party was lame I wanted to come through I'm like oh you wanted to come through because I was here he goes he made like a joke I was like oh because me and all my friends he goes actually they're my friends too and I'm like no they ain't

And then I just knew, I'm like, from that moment on, I was like, damn. In for a long night. Because I told myself I was going to play hard to get, and it just didn't work. It did not work. Never does. Two things that never work. Casual drinks and playing hard to get. Yeah, it's so fucking bad. And they directly influence one another. Yeah. Because if there was a graph of how hard it is to play hard to get versus how many drinks you are in. Yeah.

They're directly correlated. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. Sober. Oh, my God. Both nights at Lashkey, so many people were there. Yeah. Like Friday, there were so... So we usually go to the table in the back corner, but we were on the table that was like... Oh, wait, no, that was Saturday. Yeah, look, when we go out twice a day, it's blended into a vlog. I know, they do blend. But okay, so on Friday, we were actually in the back corner. We were 100% because then there was a bunch of other people that were like over near the stage. Yeah.

Yeah, this is all like, yeah, well, you don't really remember the stage part. Because I was like, oh, me and Haley went to the stage. When we go out twice, I simply cannot tell you what was when and what day. It's way too much for my brain. Yeah, I guess. I guess. I can't. But I didn't, we didn't stay out super late that night, did we? No. Like 1130? Yeah.

Because I remember laying in bed at Sneaky Links, looking at my phone, like, after we had already, like, hooked up. The Panthers game was on Friday, right? Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like one of the last things I did was, like, take a shot after the Panthers won. And it's like, there's no way the game finished at, like, midnight. No. That wasn't that late. No. Yeah, because I remember, because I was going to text you at, like, 1230 saying, like, I'm staying there.

And I didn't text you, but like, I just remember last time I looked at my phone after I had hooked up with him was at 1230. Yeah, as you guys can tell, I obviously didn't win the player to get. Oh, I left at midnight. Oh, you did? And you were still there. Fuck, okay. Damn. At 12 exactly. I texted, oh no, that was Saturday. Oh no, Saturday 12, so Friday, you know? Damn. Because 12 a.m.,

You know, it's going to say Saturday, 12 a.m. But I wonder if I looked at my phone before we hooked up. I said Uber here, now or never, because Sam didn't want to go home with him. So I was like... Yeah, I know. She texted me and she goes, now or never, come. I didn't see your text, though. Because that's the one thing about that place. This is the text. Midnight. Uber here, now or never. 8.50 a.m. Ha ha ha, I fucked up. Yeah, no, I woke up the next morning and I just looked at him and go, fuck. Fuck.

Damn it. But we ended up like hanging out for a good amount that morning. And then I was like so nervous because I knew guys going into this weekend, I needed to like just like talk to him on a serious note. But I didn't want to do it while I was like still like hanging out at his house because like then that would have been like awkward. So like now I'll take you home. Yes. Yeah. Now I'll take you home. So I was like, you know what? We'll have to talk on the car ride home because the car ride home is like 15 minutes. And like we went to go get Starbucks and stuff. And so I was like, fuck yeah. Like we're going to do that.

So we get in the car, we're listening to music for a second. I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Like, how do I do this? And I just like turned on the music. I'm like, can I like ask you a serious question? And that's when we kind of like just talked on a serious note there for a minute. And I hate to say this, but like Sneaky Link is like only going to be a Sneaky Link. And like, that's nothing more. And it's sad to say, but like it's for good reasons. Like,

I don't want to, like, drop all of his fucking shit out there. But, like, it is for good reasons that he doesn't want to. But, like, obviously I'm sad about it because, like, I have so much fun. So I... Knowing me, I need to, like, move on from the situation and, like, maybe start to go on dates with other people. It just sucks because I've been telling Taylor, I'm like, like, I don't want to, like, sleep around with other people. Like, that's not something I like to do. Like...

good sex is good sex like fuck sleeping around with random people and so i like get out of the car and i'm like so and he was like so like does that mean like we're done like doing this i'm like yeah like sorry sucks sucks to suck like it's over with and then um later that day we all went out again and we day drank that day yeah i mean we got there at like five

Yeah, but, like, we left the house at, like, what, 3, 3.30? Because we went to go to dinner. Yeah, we got dinner and then went and we got, like, a drink at dinner because we went to the Fire Food and Marg's. Yeah. Veracruz best. So good. Best. So fucking good. So we grabbed some grub and then went out to...

To Karamucho. Yeah. To start. Which if you're an OG, OG. But the service there that day was just so bad. It ruined it for me. It like really did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were like really on one. Like really had a vibe going. Yeah. And then the service just...

Normally, getting a drink is so easy. It took literally... There was going to be four of us. We're like, oh, we'll sit at a table so we don't have to stand around. We'll sit because we were waiting for Ailey to come. It just made sense to sit. And we figured we'd still get a drink in two seconds. Drinks come out at restaurants so fast. It took 20 minutes to get a fucking drink. Yeah. And then poor waitress. There was such a big... Misunderstanding.

language barrier going on it was just it was very complicated and it took forever to get drinks and then hayley came and we're like don't like go into the bar and get a drink she got a drink within two immediately walked in run it out we're like okay we fucked up there so like it really was uh

Just killing the vibe. Yeah, I didn't even get the drink I wanted either. I was like, fuck this. Yeah, the drinks were gross. They were gross. I was like, fuck. Yeah, like it was just like... I'm never going there again and like sitting at a table. I'm only doing it at the bar. Killed the vibe. Killed the vibe 100%. But... We just knew though, like we were meeting all of our friends on Rainy Street. So we were like, I need to get out of here. I kept like waving over. I'm like, can I please get the check? Like, please, please, please. Because it was like stressing me out because we had been there for like so long but accomplished nothing. Nothing.

But finally, we were able to go to Rainy Street and meet up with all of our friends at Umbar, which Umbar, sitting in the front is so chill. There's like a front and a back. Sitting in the front is like chilling in a yard with your friends doing nothing. And then the back is like the rager of a lifetime. It's very stressful back there. Yeah.

Like, okay, imagine like a zoo as a bar. It's a circus. Yeah, it's a circus. So like there's like big fake giraffes, big fake elephants. There's a slide. There's like a stage. So the back is like crazy. Like you've definitely seen it on our Snapchat stories because I post it every time I'm there. Yeah, the back is crazy. Like sometimes I hate that bar and sometimes I like it. It really depends on my mood. Yeah, the vibe. That day I was kind of like this is not the bar I want to be at because it's like –

it's so overwhelming back there it's only good though if we're all back there like if we're all back there and all trying to be no but not even because that one time we met up with the boys like over like saint patrick's day weekend yeah it's just that we would have that table now it's just like crazy back there like it's like very stressful back there it's a lot it's very crowded like walking to the bar is very crowded it's very crowded back there

but we were just hanging out there having a having a good old time sam hard launched my boyfriend on her snapchat story yeah dude it's so like we're just like so comfortable with him that it's like i forget that like the public doesn't know he exists yeah so i'm like oh ha like like come on getting this bigger like guys group picture like i just like i don't know i'm not i posted him on my snapchat story too yeah but the thing is like it wasn't

like in in what you posted were like next to each other so it's like oh you're that's like your boyfriend and some people already know who he is so they're like yeah like a boyfriend but if you usually don't and it's just a picture of the dudes and he's in it like yeah you're not gonna know you don't people don't know that aren't so invested that that's my boyfriend that could be anyone yeah exactly so um yeah i posted on my story too and everyone i know i think i'm gonna i think i'm gonna start like posting like sneaky link in my shit now because like

Like, it doesn't matter. Like, there was, like, certain things that I didn't post this past weekend, and I just saved it in, like, my archives because, like, I was like, oh, he's in it. But now I'm, like, I just, like, don't even care. Exactly. I don't care. Like, and, like...

Yeah, I don't know. So, anyways. I'm only not... I'll hard launch on Instagram soon if I have a good enough pick. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully this weekend. I know we said that last weekend, but this time we mean it. Yeah, this time we mean it. Like, you need to start wherever we start with that intention. Yeah. So, whenever we were at Rainy Street and...

Me and Haley, like, we do this thing, like, Taylor, you and I do this too, but, like, it just so happened that, like, when we were there, we do this thing, Haley and I were, like, we'll get a drink, like,

together and like one of us will pay for it but then we also like want to take a shot so then i'm like okay like we'll just get a drink and then like next time we go up to the bar like i'll get a shot and then like we just like trade off like drink shot drink shot like buying whatever and so we got drinks and then i went back up to the bar to get shots and freaking like two of our friends come over and they're like oh you're getting shots i'm like oh fuck i'm

Like, you guys, like, I'm just, like, in such a good mood. And I'm like, yeah. Like, you want one? So I bought five shots for, like, all of them. Because one of them, I'm like, I haven't seen you in a week. The other one had his girl with him. I'm like, shots for everyone. For everyone. Fuck it. It's like when you're in school and you take out gum. Yeah. Oh, you have gum I want. Yeah. And you're like, oh, fuck. Yeah.

So I'm like, okay, full send, whatever. So I'm getting everyone a shot. And then from that moment on, we were just having so much fun. Like the drunk started to hit and I was like kind of avoiding stealing like for a little bit. Cause I'm just like, I just like kind of like,

broke up with you like i'm faking jokes like i broke up with him like i broke up with him yeah that's just hard and he made like the comment to taylor what did he say he was like i'm in the dog house but i'm sure you already heard about that yeah i was like yeah i literally fucking hate you

So, um, we were all just hanging out, but I like told him even to like in the car, he was like, he's like, are things gonna be awkward? I go, no, I'm like the least awkward person ever. Like nothing really embarrasses me and nothing makes me feel awkward. So I like told him, I'm like, I'm not awkward. And I know he's really awkward with certain things. So I was like, I was like, I know you're going to be awkward. So like, I just like,

Had to go up to him and talk to him because like I could tell he felt awkward. So I was like, okay, fine. Like I'll go up and say like say something to him and like fuck around with him and make jokes with him. And then that's when like the ice kind of broke and I was like, okay, he's good now. Like nothing's weird. And we were just having a good time and we decided around what?

Five? Six? I don't even know. Five? Maybe? It was like... Oh, yeah. Time stamps. Duh. Yeah, duh. We have videos. This is why I have my phone out. We have videos. But everyone... My boyfriend's friends were on East and they were like, it's too early to go to East. And he was like, shit. It's...

That was at 745. Yes, it was early. No, but that's later than I thought. I was saying five we went over. Oh, no, no, no. We got there at like six. So at 745, guys, there's like these little go-kart things. Yeah, they're like three-row golf carts. But they're closed, too. They're like closed off-light cars with doors. And one of our friends was like, oh, I'll call an Uber. But there was one of those across the street. And like taking something that's not a normal car...

It's so much more fun. So much more fun. Even though it's basically the same thing, it's just so much better to take... It's just more fun. Like, why would we go in a car when we can take the golf cart? Yeah. There's no reason. All the windows are down, the wind in your face. Oh, my God. 12 out of 10. So we're like, cancel the fucking Uber. We're getting in the golf cart.

And he was like, it's going to be like five bucks a person. Sold. Yeah. Give it to me. Done. So yeah, it was like 30 bucks. And it was like, well, it's going to be 30 bucks for an Uber anyway. Yeah. Let's ride. So we got in this little golf cart. I'm like literally being like a puppy. I have like my head out the window and then my glasses fell out of the car. Which it's funny because...

As they fell out, she looked at me with my sunglasses and I turn around and I don't see them anywhere on the road. Yeah, no, they definitely did because you lost them. But I was like, I turn around and we're like on the highway. I'm like, I don't see those things anywhere. Yeah, like the golf cart, like on the highway. Like, yeah. Okay. We were zooming. It was just like one little quick exit. One quick. It wasn't even anything crazy. But I did lose my sunglasses and rest in peace. But that's why you buy Amazon sunglasses for ten dollars.

Yeah. And in the car too. So it's just funny because like me and Sneaky Link were sitting in the back and then Taylor was sitting on her boyfriend and then Haley was in one seat and then our other guy friend was in the front seat. And like, I don't know, the vibes of that thing were just so funny because it's like we were all just like hammered. Like Haley's hanging out the window taking photos. Like Sneaky Link has his glasses like all crooked and shit. And like your head's out the window. My head's out the window. Yeah. And then like I'm just like out being like

Yeah. And then we went to... We went straight to Lasky, which I was kind of upset about, but that's because your boyfriend had friends at Lasky. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I went to Lucky Duck. I know, because...

Because everyone told you that I was there. When I wasn't, I was sitting on the couch. So my boyfriend's friends were at Latchkey. So we were like, let's just go there. His friends are there. I'm constantly dragging him to where my friends are. I could do him a solid and go to where his friends are. And then they went to Lucky Duck. And I was like, perfect. Because Sam wanted to go to Lucky Duck. Go to Lucky Duck. And then I couldn't see you. So I go to Sam's fucking sneaky link and our friend. I'm like, where's Sam and Haley? And he goes, Lucky Duck. And I'm like, perfect. I'm going there. So...

I mean, well, it's whenever I go in and like I get a drink and I walk in the back. I'm like, she's not here. But there was a good amount of people there. So I was really like scanning every picnic table because it was just two of you. Yeah. Like I was like, what? I was like, they're literally not fucking. Yeah. And I got a dirty martini and those take a little bit to finish. So it wasn't like I could just like.

chug it and go and leave. I was like, what the fuck? I was like, I literally was told that you were in here. Yeah. Which is so annoying too, because I, two seconds, I think after you left, I go up to you and I go, where's Taylor? He goes, lucky duck.

I'm like, oh, why? I literally, like, I was begging her to go there. Like, what the fuck? He goes, I don't know. I told her you were there. I go, I'm right here. And then that's when you were gone for, like, a while. So then that's when me and Sneaky Link sat down on the couch. Because there's a couch in the very entrance of, like, Latchkey. It's, like, the only couch there. Everything else is picnic tables and people standing. And me and him just got into, like, the deepest fucking conversation of, like, all time. Which is, like...

The conversation we had that morning, it was like the complete opposite of that conversation. Like talking about like, again, like I'm not going to dump like my entire life story with this man onto the podcast. But like, let's just say like things with him are so fucking confusing. But I'm like, whatever, like whatever.

conversation happened one of our friends walks over and was like oh fuck are you guys in a deep convo i go yeah get the fuck out of here right now like let us have this conversation and then that's when you guys walked back in and then the conversation ended because i was like okay whatever like this conversation has to end now and i was just like going in with the intent of like all right i'm still gonna like play it where i'm not gonna give him any attention because i'm

I need to do myself a solid and, like, not do that. And I had the best game of all time that night. Insane. Yeah, every time I looked, same as just the new group of dudes. One thing I knew... He's like, period, queen. Yeah, our guy friends, one thing that they say that they absolutely love when girls go up to them is just, like, a compliment. Like, it could be about fucking anything. Like, guys love compliments. Like, they love it.

And so I was like, you know what? I was going up to every guy complimenting them, even if I like wasn't 100% honest. Like this one guy had like a little like stash thing, like a little like, I love your mustache. Yeah. So I walked in and I'm like, oh my God, like I love your mustache. And he like touches it and goes, oh, thanks. Like, hell yeah. And then that's when like I got into the conversation. I was like, so what's your name?

And we exchanged names. I was like, are you from here? And if they said they're not from here, I fucking skirt skirt. I go, get out of here. We're not talking to visitors. I want a man, not like a, just a one night stand, you know? So I got about, I think four numbers. One of them I didn't save. I ended up saving all of them other than one because the guy, I kept saying to everyone, I'm like, put your name in and then text yourself.

And this one guy didn't. And I'm like, all right, well, what the fuck? Not happening with that one. But then I found this one group in the middle of the picnic tables. And they were probably in their late 20s, mid-20s.

early 30s and I thought they were a bachelor group because they just like looked like that it was a there was like 10 guys all like massive like gym bro looking guys and I'm like oh this is definitely a bachelor group so I'm gonna go up to them and I go what's up guys like you guys a bachelor group like let me take a guess and then they all like laughed at us they're like no but we keep getting that tonight and I'm like it just looks like you have no girls around and they're like we're actually from here I'm like oh my god you're from here and they're like yeah we live on like like Lake Travis I'm like you guys live on Lake Travis like sick and

And so I hung out with those guys most of the night. If you haven't been on Snapchat, it was the guys that were, like, so tall. Every single one of them was above, like, 6'2". And I was drooling all over the place. And meanwhile, like, Sneaky Link's watching all of this go down. And Hailey's joining in on it. It was just good vibes. Good vibes. Great vibes. Claiming my dominance over Sneaky Link. As you should. But...

I was dancing after I bought a drink, which the mango juice drinks at Lashkey are either a spicy ranch water or just a regular margarita. And I literally am dancing there. And one of the guys that I went up to, his friend knocked the drink out of my hand. And I was like, what the fuck? And so then he was like, okay, we'll go up to the bar and I'll get you a drink. I'm sorry about my friend. We go up to the bar. He gets a drink.

gets me my drink and like this man is literally like six four like like around me like holding on to me like over the like his head is over my head like at the bar and like we're like this and then that's when like um sneaky lincoln one of our guy friends comes over and i'm like i was like this is so awkward but i was like i don't even care i'm getting too drunk to even care at this point but from that moment on all the way until like

midnight i think i don't like it all just blended in so many people were showing up yeah everything is a

big old like water boy mike was there water boy crew like the whole entire water boy team was there the water boy team was all of our friends ended up showing up like i got texts so i woke up that next morning because i had no service so none of my texts would send and none of my texts i could receive and i woke up the next morning with i think like seven texts of people being like are you out last year you out last year we saw ken and chandler yes literally we saw so many people and i was just like

What the fuck like why don't I have service there because I would I like I like i'm such a like a Talkative person when i'm out like wandering all over the place And if I knew half the people that texted me were there I would have probably like tried to find them and like go up to them And there was this one like one girl that I had been messaging back and forth with all day And I felt bad because like I was I told her I was going in but I couldn't my text couldn't send so I took sneaky links phone and I texted her off of his phone and I was like I was like, um Um

Gabby. Yeah. Sometimes I feel bad name dropping. But yeah, so but then I so I texted her on my phone. I'm like, just so you know, I'm like the middle of the middle picnic table, like on the top, like you'll see me. And then she found me and then climbs up. And then that she was there. Yeah. And that's when there was like, I think like eight of us girls on that. Was I still there? You were on the table, I think, with us. That's when we were taking the photos. Remember? And all the boys were on the bottom.

And then she came up and I'm like, we're literally all going to fall off. I thought we were going to fall off that table. I was wearing that pink floral top. You know what it also is? That was so many days ago at this point. You know what I mean? Yeah. But yeah, anyway, so we were on the table and I thought I was going to freaking fall off. And...

And as I'm up there, I noticed Waterboy Mike is like two people. My guy friends are at my feet. And then right behind my guy friends is Waterboy Mike. So I scream to him. I go, Waterboy Mike, do you have any Waterboy? And he pulls like six fucking sticks of Waterboy out of his pocket and just hands them to me. And I'm like, no.

nice like love this yeah if you guys don't know what water boy is it's like an electrolyte thing so i like take it and i just rip it open and pour it into my drink and then you pose sober queen i know i don't i just think i'm invincible like i don't know what it is you are i know i guess kind of and you are invincible yeah i'm so invincible and you know what the thing is with me with going out is like it gets to a certain extent with like random guys like

like once it gets like to 11 30 like midnight i don't want to talk to a random guy anymore because i don't want them thinking i'm like leaving with them so like i'll talk to you all the way up until like 11 30 midnight but like past that i'm not talking to you because i don't want you to think like i'm gonna get an uber with you and go home because i'm not doing that so i like kind of like ditched the guy i was with and like you i could just see him from the distance like kind of like staring at me i'm like fuck like i feel bad

But I was like, I'm just not doing that. Like, I don't want to. Like, I'm happy I got your number. Now, like, tomorrow you can text me. We can go get, like, drinks, like, later in the week, whatever. And, but then I look at my sneaky link, like, right in front of me. I'm like, and that's when Taylor was like, saying, like, let's get out of here. And I go, no, no, no, no. And you were like, don't be mad at me. I'm going to go with him. I go, don't be mad. I was like, but I'm just going to sleep over. That's it. That's it. I'm not having sex with him. Which I didn't.

I went straight to bed. I did it at night. So that night, I get back. I was like, I'm going to blue ball him. I was like, I'm going to blue ball the shit out of him. So we get back, and we're hanging out for a while. And I was like, I'm just going to fall asleep. So I lay down, and I just get nice and comfy in his bed. And I just put my hands together on my head, and I just lay there. And I'm laying there, and he's like Blair music, going crazy, like spinning around in his shirt, just dancing around.

And he's like screaming. He's like, Sam, like wake up. Like let's rage. Let's rage. And I'm like, no, I'm going to bed. I'm like laying there. He's like, and he starts like shaking my head and like shaking my body. Like, come on, like wake up, wake up. Like we're having so much fun. I'm like, no. And I fall asleep and I'm sure he was awake for a while because I woke up the next morning and there was like

There was like food on like the nightstand and like... I was just like he was definitely up like eating like food in bed next to me. That's so funny. Like I'm like asleep and he's just eating food in bed next to me. That's so funny. I know. And then the next morning... Yeah, then...

You know. I rotted all day on Sunday. Yeah. The next morning stayed with him for like a little bit. But then we went to Stabby's again. Yeah. I rotted all day. Brought my boyfriend to Trader Joe's for the first time. Changed his life. Yeah. And like literally rotted on the couch. I don't think I've ever been that hungover in my entire life.

I was hungover on Saturday. I don't even know if it was like a hangover. I think it was just lack of sleep. No, because on Saturday, I got Dutch Bros and Nervous Charlie's, which is like this bagel place. And I was very unwell in the car. Yeah. I mean, I think for me, which is I didn't sleep at my house both nights. Not sleeping at your house sucks. Both nights. Like horrible. Like I could get the same amount of sleep if I'm home or if I'm not home.

But it just doesn't... Doesn't hit. Doesn't hit if I'm not home. I told my boyfriend, I was like, maybe this weekend if we go out, I'll sleep at your place. You should. You also need to get shit to leave at his place. I know. But I'm just like, brother, I'm coming here. All my shit is here.

Yeah, you're going to leave me and this weekend me and my brothers at my place? Fuck. I'm going to have to be dealing with their fucking shit. Yeah, I'm going to be dealing with their shit like on Saturday night. See, but then in the morning I'll be like, let's go home. Like I want to be back at my house. Yeah. Yeah, especially like, I don't know. I feel like waking up, but I mean, I had fucking fun, so I can't complain about the hangover that I had from Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. It was very fun. Like it was a great day.

it was a great time like living life having a good time no no complaints yeah so that was our weekend pretty fun pretty productive we had a game night this week with all our other friends which we have not had in a very long time yes it was really nice i know i feel like a lot of you guys were probably like what has been happening to game nights what has been happening to like that other friend group

love them all but it's just like we've all been like traveling on different time like timelines it's hard when everyone is like grown adults to always be together it's not like when you had friends in like high school where like you're all on the same schedule you do the same thing you live you live the same life everyone literally is at school the same time like or even in college when like everyone's social life like revolves around the same things it's like it's so hard to get everyone yeah and like a lot of our friends have been like like specifically with our like menops friends is it's

They've also been like, like getting new jobs. Like it's just like, it has not been like hard. It's hard to be. And realistically, it feels like a long time. It's literally been like a month. Yeah.

And it's crazy because I was like, when we were all hanging out last night, I'm like, I missed you guys so much. Like, we just like such wholesome like times with them. Yeah. It's nice to have like those friends that are just like. We can play games. Yeah. Yeah. Our ride or die. A play date. So we're going to be getting back on our game nights once a week. I'm pretty excited about that because I just need like.

I know Taylor has a boyfriend, so, like, you probably don't feel the same, but, like, I just need, like, social encounter during the week. Yeah, and... But you do get that. Yeah. Like, because, like, he'll sleep over during the week. Like, I just need, like, at least one night out of the week. That's why, like, the last, like... Yeah, sleepovers during the week, I regret it every time. Yeah, but, like, that's why, like, the last month or so, I've been going, like, dating so much, like, during the week, just because, like, I need, like, a recharge of, like...

Social like other people, you know what i'm saying? Yeah, right now my social battery's so low that when we do so much during the week I'm, like i'm kind of like I could go without. Yeah I don't know. I'm, just like I need to like see people it makes me like happy and forget about like work during the week. Yeah Yeah, for sure. Um, that has been nice doing that a lot of wholesome things during the week and I need to like also

just stops paying so much money yeah it's just summer's so hard we've been getting invited on a lot of boats and i'm like i'm kind of like rejecting a lot of the boats but i don't want to go like i need to calm down i'm not like buying a lot of things yeah no you know what i mean i don't like go shopping i don't last time i went shopping you know what i mean yeah i'm not not really out here it's just like i do have like a lot of clothes but it's just been hard because like a lot of the clothes like they just don't

I'm like trying to get used to my boobs, you know? Like I put clothes on, I'm like, oh, this just doesn't fit like the same as like this other shirt does with my boobs. So it's like, I'm still trying to get used to it. Yeah, I'm trying not to really go shopping and like, because I know there's just so much going on here in Texas in the summer that I would just rather like,

Spend money on like, yeah, doing things, doing things like I'd rather go out to dinner than like go shopping. Mm hmm. Yeah. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. If you listen to our last Girl Talk Q&A, which by the way, you should. It was a great episode.

Well, that was our weekend. Lots of fun. Lots of fun. But it is time to get into our overrated, underrated topics. Yeah, yeah. I'm really excited about this. I know. Me too. We haven't done something like this in kind of a while, I feel. Yeah, last time we did it, we had you guys send in the topic. But, like, I'm sorry. We just picked them ourselves. Yeah. We picked them ourselves with things we think are underrated and overrated. And just remember...

But overrated and underrated doesn't mean something's necessarily really, really bad or the best thing ever. It's just like, it's just kind of, it could use a little less, like it could be taken down. I know. Also don't be soft. Like don't be soft. It's like the fact that we have to give this disclaimer. Like, yeah, no, but I like the disclaimer because I think some people use the word overrated.

And, like, assume that automatically means, like, it's terrible and we hate it. Yeah, worthless. Like, but didn't you say that was overrated? Like, okay, it could be, like, overrated as in, like, it's not God-level best thing in the entire universe. I never said it was awful. I just said we can calm down. Yeah. So I feel like then it's just like, but you said it was overrated. It's like, yeah, because it doesn't need to be hyped up every single day of your life. Yeah. But it...

So, yeah. Do we want to do like every other one or do we want to do all underrated and then all overrated? I think all overrated, all underrated. Yeah, let's do it. So let's start overrated because in our list it's first. So might as well. Overrated. The first thing we have written down is expensive gym clothes. Y'all, $100 on leggings and filling your entire wardrobe with expensive gym clothes is

Is not necessary. You don't need to be doing it. You don't need such expensive gym clothes in your closet. It's just there's so many other ways. Like dupes are real. Amazon is real. Buying things when they're on crazy sale. It's not a flex. Poshmark. I used to get all my shit when I was like in college at TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx, huge. Like you don't need expensive gym clothes to...

Work out. Yeah, and don't need $100 leggings. You don't need $80 bras if you don't and I know you're probably thinking like Sam Taylor you guys wear expensive shit Yeah, we get gifted it like we're fortunate enough where we do get a lot of PR but like if I wasn't like and Couldn't quote like influencer. I fucking hate that word But like if I wasn't I probably would just be getting everything on Amazon I probably be getting on everything on Amazon and only really get like which actually 50% of my wardrobe is paid for Yeah, I'm saying yeah, but like if I

like it only if there were certain pieces that i like yeah really was like oh i really like i think it's more important now that we're not so like gym rats like we have a well-rounded like lifestyle i would rather have a well-versed closet than only gym clothes because my closet used to be only gym clothes and i would like struggle when i would go out to like

Have a nice outfit like it took almost a year and a half to actually build up my closet right of like regular clothes Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I was putting all my money towards gym. Yeah, like it doesn't it doesn't need all your money like really just like be more a little like more picky and choosy with like what maybe from a certain brand you really want and What you can afford to? Yeah, exactly. Um

Next one is Taylor was a little bit iffy on this one, but I wanted to put this down just because, you know, I'm I personally just like never really found like a obviously there's a benefit in it, but like

Now that I know how to do it, deadlifts I think is overrated. Obviously, Taylor has made the address. Say what you said to me last time. I just think you could make this call for any single exercise. Yeah, I guess. But what she did say was that it's obviously important and safe to know how to deadlift. I think having a strong foundation to pick something heavy off the ground properly and building that strength in your body...

is good but i just think that you can make this call for any strength any exercise that you're training for the sole purpose of strength really has no other purpose than being strong at exactly and i think that's where like at least for me like i thought like i had to do the big three in order to like aesthetically look great too and like that's just like not not the case you don't need to do anything yeah

You can do whatever the fuck you want. You can do anything, anything you want. So I just think that for me specifically, deadlifts are overrated and I have not done deadlifts in probably over a year. I would say if you're putting deadlifts for the purpose of growing your legs, you're way better off swapping them for like an RDL. Yeah. And like another variation of a deadlift then. Yeah.

like picking something off the ground heavily um especially if you like already know how um unless your goal is strength then do you but anyways next this is like the most overrated thing in all of fitness industry ever in the history of all time 12 330 which if you don't know what that is if you live under a rock it's 12 incline three speed 30 minutes the reason this is overrated is because there's nothing special about these numbers

you it's just walking is good low intensity cardio is good you can do 12 3 30 for or you can do 12 3 15 it's still good you can do 12 3 15 you can do 7 3.5 45 you can do literally anything on the treadmill you want and it's just like one 12 3 30 is like kind of hard everyone's like it's an easy way to walk it's like

That's difficult to do. It's not a walk in the... It's hard. Have to be able to hold on to the treadmill. And defeat half the purpose. So you're not doing anything. But it's just... You can do any form of low-intensity cardio...

And get the same result. Everyone's like, 12, 3, 30, like gave me abs. You're losing weight. Yeah. You can. No, there's nothing that drives me more insane than people saying that. People are saying 12, 3, 30, like tone my butt. Walking on an incline does not give you an ass. I don't care. I literally don't care. And then it's like people might be like, but my legs got more toned.

Or like they, you can see like they're like, they look a little bit stronger. Yeah. Cause if you were sitting on your butt doing nothing, you've never exercised a day in your life and now you're walking uphill every single day. Yeah. That'll put a little bit of muscle in your legs because you were like doing zero and now you're,

That's like a little bit of resistance. You're walking uphill. You're probably gonna get nice calves. Yeah, but like that's not building Muscle, if you lift you're not gonna get like extra gains because you do 12 330 you would lose weight. Yeah, exactly It's just like so bizarre That like I would rather go on a hot girl walk and get some fresh air then you can do anything you want you can run walk incline walk

Mix up incline walking with running, sprint. It's just fucking cardio. You can do stairs. Yeah. Do whatever cardio you want. Like 12, 330 is not a special amount of numbers. You can do anything you want. The next on the overrated list is going to be hustle culture. The all or nothing slash waking up at 5 a.m. culture. Yeah. Hustle culture is so fucking weird. Productivity is all cool. But the people that like...

Praise themselves for being, like, better than everyone else. Yeah, they're, like, content creators full-time, and they wake up at 5 a.m. to go lift. Why? Yeah, like... Why? Like, that's just very interesting. I mean, if... And to say that you're doing... Like, to, like, pride yourself in that. Yeah. It's just, like, a weird, like, weird flex, but okay. Like, why do you do that? Like, sleep is good for you. You can sleep. Like, I am, like, the... Like, an example of that. Like...

last year when I lived in my little studio apartment by myself, like literally like waking up at six in the morning to go on like almost a two mile walk and then like have breakfast, go to the gym. And like, but I'm like, I had the whole day to like not do that. Like I didn't need to be like hustling like a crazy mother, like doing that on like a Sunday. Yeah. Like, like chill Sam, like take some rest, like breathe, like,

No wonder I was always bloated and shit. It's because my body was so stressed out. Yeah. Like, hustle culture is so insane. Like, take fucking time off. You don't need to wake up at 6 a.m. on vacation to, like, go for a run. Like, just relax. It's not cute. It's not relatable either. It's like, because everyone that's like that is, like, content creators, like, entrepreneurs. And it's like, people have, like, real things they need to get done. Yeah.

And you're just like making yourself busy like kind of for no reason. Yeah. I know. It's like not relatable and it's weird. And just like even too with the all over hustle culture of like for no reason like tracking macros, restricting yourself from restaurants. Going to the gym for four hours. Going to the gym for four hours when there's like really no point to that. Like flexing that you were in the gym for four hours is like okay weird. Yeah. Like I don't know.

Like that's such a weird flex that you were in the gym the entire day. Good for you. Next one I think that is super overrated is like self-help and motivational books. That's what I used to think I had to read. And they're quite literally stupid. Like I don't know. They're so dumb.

There's good things in them, but I think you could hear them on a podcast. I think you could read them on one short little Pinterest quote. I don't think 400 pages of telling you to be a better person

is like necessary and that's such a hustle culture person thing to do is read a self-help book like you don't need to fucking read them like when everyone does 75 hard you have to read every day people read those books you can read other books i just think that they're overrated and um yeah i have no say on this one because i don't read books so yeah i wouldn't know i just think you don't need to sit and read a book to like get motivated that you're like you're

like a person who's like worth something and i just don't think the books are that good i think it's feels very like almost like i feel like i could write one yeah yeah i don't know i feel like they're just kind of stupid yeah next one on the overrated list is gonna be a fuck ton of caffeine i was gonna say a fuck ton of pre-workout and just like really bad shit for you but honestly too like people go way too overly aggressive on like the caffeine even with just coffee is like

I hear way too many people that are like, I've had like six coffees today. I'm like, holy shit. Like,

Why? Like, what the fuck? Yeah, because we have days where we have, like, two coffees and we're like, today was a lot. Yeah, like, oh my god, I had two coffees today. And, like, we know if we ever have a lot of caffeine, like, we're very self-aware and we're like, that wasn't good. That was too much. Like, we know. And some people are so just like, oh, I probably have, like, 500 milligrams a day. And, like, they're just cool with it. And it's like, you need to not do that. Not even, like, let's just say there was no, um...

Fuck like a heart problem. Like let's say it was fine for you. Like let's say it's fine. Don't you just want your natural body to be functioning a little bit more functional? Yeah. Like today I did my workout with I drink half a coffee and then went to the gym. Yeah. And some people like like I think I'm caffeine dependent. And then I realized like, OK, I did my workout with only half a cup of coffee. Some people genuinely can't function without caffeine.

any coffee or any caffeine and i just feel like you should make your body a little bit more like able to run yeah just fucking food and water and being a human being it's just like not cute to be like i've had three celsius today oh my god my like

heart would explode i would be i would have a panic attack i'm honestly honestly i'm saying this out of jealousy because if i had that much caffeine i'd have panic attacks like how do y'all not have panic attacks i know it doesn't make sense i would straight up be like shaking in the corner crying yeah anyways treat your body better guys please and just like if you just be conscious yeah like get eight hours of sleep try that um then next on the list is protein powder

Guys, I love protein powder. Don't get me wrong, but some of y'all are fucking shoving that shit into like chicken sandwiches. Like, I don't even know. Like, I see people putting it into weird things. Some of y'all are putting it into everything and then pretending that it's dessert. Yeah. Protein powder is protein powder. And some protein powder is good for a protein powder. Yeah. It's not good in comparison to...

to a cake yeah it's it's good for a protein powder because it tastes like protein powder and calling things dessert when it's protein powder and xanthan gum and ice is not real making protein ice cream 10 times a day and you're ninja creamy is disgusting and you can't tell me for one second that your xanthan gum concoction is ice cream

Just because it looks like ice cream. No, I think it's okay to be having protein butter like once a day. But like people really exceed it when they're doing like three to four times a day. So like...

If like I personally like to do it in my cream of rice every morning now if you personally want to do it in like Ice cream and you think an ice cream once a day sure go for it but if you're also having like cream of rice in the morning and then later in the day doing like protein ice cream and then also having like a Protein bar and then also maybe having like protein chips like hold on a second like also are your shits? Okay, if you're gonna do protein ice cream

You need to... I think the way it should be marketed and posted is like, look at this cool, convenient way to get in protein, not look at this ice cream replacement. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. The same thing with something like cauliflower rice. The cauliflower rice is like a convenient way to get vegetables in, not a rice replacement. Yeah. Like...

Don't be out here trying to be like, I made cookies out of protein powder and they taste exactly like the real thing. Bullshit. And you know it. And don't.

come on here saying that crap yeah exactly i am a full stand for this because when i used to do this my shits were not on schedule yeah like i know you have stinky farts and like protein farts 100 and all that xanthan gum when people put in their smoothies like that's not good for your fucking stomach no no especially because one serving is like literally like i think it's like one teaspoon but people will throw in a whole like tablespoon of that yeah no it's not good for your stomach and like i don't

I don't know. Like, when people make those giant... And it's so much volume. Yeah. I'm like, how much fucking sand I'm going to be putting... Oh, my God. I can... It's, like, making me nauseous. Like, it's just, like, stop pretending that it's delicious. Yeah. We've gone too far. And with bars. Like, if you've approached... Like, there's other snacks. Cottage cheese. Try it out. I told Sam on the overrated list we should put cottage cheese and she said I would get attacked and cancelled by the cottage cheese community. No, you would get cancelled.

This next one, overrated Apple watches. I have not worn an Apple watch in almost a year because my cat ate my charger and I have just not charged it since. And my life has been totally the same. You just don't need to track everything on a watch for it to count and be worth it.

You don't need to constantly be closing your rings. Like, some people post, like, there's TikToks of people that are like, I went the whole year and closed my rings every single day. Holy fuck. You never had a rest day? Holy fuck. And not even that, I think you need to, like, disconnect from your technology a little bit. Yeah. Like, you had that shit moving every single day. Like, don't you want to have, like, maybe a day or at least a few hours where there's not...

a piece of technology like attached like my thought process is like when we went to cabo i didn't bring my watch with me like you're telling me that person like brought their watch like on a vacation and like like it's closing their ring yeah it's just a little bit insane yeah it's a little bit insane the closing your ring thing having like a phone attached to your wrist when we're already attached to our phone so much i'm not an anti-phone person but i think at some point it's good to not be

literally connected at every single moment in your entire life like you can not have every notification on your wrist it's it's a bit much speaking of that my fucking watch is not connected to my phone which is like really annoying um because that's why i do wear it when we go out but it's not connected but anyways connected because when i got my new phone because i got this new phone like a few months ago correct it do it today yeah but like i don't care that much you know like i like i wear my watch but like

I don't really care that much. I'm going on walks now, so I want to connect my phone. I need to charge my watch again. I want to wear it on walks. It says on the top of this, iPhone not connected. I also want to wear it to time my workouts again because sometimes I'm like, how the fuck, how long have I been in here? But it's overrated as something that people need, that you rely on every single day of your life. Let's ease. It's very weird that people close things. Yeah, today I didn't even start my workout. What?

Like usually when I get to the gym if it's like oh we got to the gym at 11 I can like time-wise like clock it that way um, but for the most part like 50 of the workouts like i'm not even like starting a ring on it after my dance class yesterday I was just like curious on like if anyone wore a watch and how many like calories it said they burned because it's like a cardio class and I just want to like make sure people like I die in there because i'm teaching so i'm talking and moving the whole time and I want to make sure everyone else is like

getting in a good so like everyone was leaving i was like by any chance do any of you wear an apple watch in here only one person was like yeah i was like oh i was like did you like start a workout and he was like yeah and i was like wow i like that only one of you did that like only one i was like cool way to be um way to have a healthy relationship with exercise guys yeah

all right moving on to underrated yeah let's get positive underrated uh number one on the list the f word podcast so underrated yeah like come on now like share that shit around rate us five stars y'all it's so underrated rate us five stars it takes two seconds press the five star button five star post this episode on your story tag us like get one friend to listen if everyone got one friend to listen we would double our audience literally

Get one friend to listen Sibling, co-worker, your mom Your grandma, your friend Your roommate, your boyfriend Yeah

if l if everyone got one person we would double our audience like hello we're so underrated wait five stars you can do this one because this one's yours yeah so true um electrolytes are so underrated one for like weekend activities like they work like a water boy like like an element i have like two or three on the weekends like a water drop electrolyte we have quite a few brands in our um

Thing we have a code for water drop electrolytes. It's f-word. Um, they're like little cubes. Uh Water boy, we should have an f-word code. I well I have one code. It's just sam taylor. Yeah, just sam taylor um Electrolytes are so key if you're like drinking on the weekend like i'm i'm not even kidding they work I literally felt like shit this weekend. I didn't drink them like hello like you did that to yourself. Um

And then I also drink them after my workouts during the week because they just have like minerals in them and I work out outside and I sweat and I go to dance and I sweat and I'm going on walks in the sun and it really drains you and being dehydrated can happen like easier than you think even if you're drinking a lot of water. So I like to get in like all my minerals and I'll drink like

my electrolytes after my workouts like during the day and i think electrolytes like they make me feel so good and so hydrated and so like replenished i feel so good when i drink them yeah and i think more people should be getting in their minerals and their electrolytes yeah that's like the one like not like supplement because it's like not really a supplement like i feel like yeah like i feel like it's a supplement yeah but like

I don't know. Like, there's, like, obviously, like, BCAs and all that shit. But, like, I don't... Like, if I were to get one thing and it came, like, in a tub... Like, if there was, like, electrolyte tubs... Which there are. Yeah, like, I would get it. Like, anything else I just think is overrated. I feel like we should come out with, like, a tub hangover recovery. Yeah. Yeah, we should. Because, like, one thing about us...

It's like we love to be healthy and we love to get drunk. Exactly. Put some creatine in there. I think like or like an alcohol brand. Yeah. 100%. Like if we had an alcohol brand that was like low-cal tequila sodas or like... Espresso martini. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, no, like, we'd fuck up an alcohol brand for real. Yeah. Next one is going to be your microgreens, baby. I think microgreens are so underrated. I buy a tub of microgreens from Trader Joe's, and I finish the entire tub by the end of the week. And I feel like the epitome of health. Like, everyone should be doing this because it's, like, the easiest way to...

to like sneak in greens you just throw them on anything and it goes along with anything like i haven't had like any meal where i have put it on something and i've been like oh this should not be on it like put it on your tacos put it on like a rice bowl put it on your sandwich put it on they're good on a sandwich yeah like put it on anything anything like savory not sweet don't put it on sweet shit don't put it on your like oatmeal yeah please don't do that don't do that you can put zucchini in your oatmeal that's how you can get your greens in there but micro greens 100%

Buy it, put it on everything, and you're going to feel so fucking healthy. Yeah, I forgot to buy microgreens this week, but it's an easy way to get greens, and they also make your food look pretty. Exactly. 100%. Garnish it perfectly. It's a twofer, but it's super easy, especially if you don't like vegetables and you're like, I cannot eat a plate of broccoli. Which one? Grow up. But let's say that's you. If you can't eat broccoli, you're like, ew, no.

Broccoli sprouts. I am a broccoli hater. Okay, well, you eat vegetables. I eat vegetables, but I don't like broccoli. No.

unless it's from planta yeah that type of that's different that's like fucking like fried and like that's different yeah this is fucking good you could you could do any vegetable with that sauce and that seasoning and i'd like it literally put a piece of shit with that sauce and that seasoning i would and i would love it yeah like macro could literally shit in a bowl and you could deep fry it and put that sauce on it hold on that's a reach that's a reach i don't know i'm thinking about that that sounds fucking nasty

Uh, next underrated is nutritional yeast full of so many vitamins. Tastes like Parmesan cheese and has five grams of protein per tablespoon. So if you use two tablespoons of that throughout your day, that's 10 grams of protein. Bro, I throw that shit in everything. I put it in my Caesar salads. I put it in sauces. I put it on everything. At least once a day. I'm going to look up. There's a lot of, um, nutrients in there too. Besides the protein. Yeah.

And it's just like so good for you. Like that's literally why it's called nutritional. Like it's so nutrient dense. And like 10 grams of protein, like are we kidding? Yeah. That's like such a good amount for like a seasoning. It has...

600% your vitamin b12 for the day which if you're a vegan or don't eat meat you're deficient in vitamin b12 usually so as all of that has all your vitamin b6 b3 b2 and b1 b vitamins are just like important and it has uh folate which is like b9 and five grams of protein so oh five grams protein for two tablespoons sorry so four tablespoons would give you 10 grams

Yeah. But yeah, nutritional use is goaded. It literally is just like kind of like salty. It's a if you're vegan, it's like a parmesan cheese alternative. Yeah, it's really fucking good. It's good. And then next is going to be your Amazon gym clothes. I know we talked about this in like the on like over. I'm sorry, overrated stuff. But like, no, seriously, like underrated, like for the people that don't really understand that, like Amazon is like a really good place to get like really cheap clothes for

their workout clothes are top tier like the strappy sports bras the dupes all of it like i wear for the most part like 80 amazon clothes uh also just like their normal clothes are good too yeah i bought i did buy a bunch of stuff haven't gotten it yet i'm excited to see but i bought a bunch of tops because like especially with going out tops like

half the time like i am like so annoying that i don't like to repeat outfits like i'll repeat shirts but i like to like wear them with different pants like and i know i can but like i just i don't know why i like just get in i get worried about it um so like when you're buying cheaper things and like i know like the fast fashion police like don't come for me but like no yeah i'm

You win some, you lose some on that scenario. You can't be perfect on everything and come for the companies, not me. Yeah, exactly. Not my problem. Come for the big corporations. Yeah. Next is going to be planks.

I love planks now. The reason I used to hate abs is because my abs were so weak. You hate things when you're not good at them. My core was weak as shit. I went to solid core classes and I really built up my core strength because I got surgery. Realistically, when I got surgery, the only things I could really do was leg days and core. I couldn't do anything upper body. You haven't been to a workout class in a long time. I haven't. I lowered my class pass thing and I just haven't gone because it's like

When I got out of surgery, like, they were difficult because I was injured. But now if I go to them, they're, like, easy. So I'm, like, I'd rather just, like, go to the gym. Yeah. So it's definitely good for, like, active rest. But, like, honestly, even too, the weather's been so nice. So I'd rather just go on a walk. Yeah. I just randomly thought about how you haven't been. No. So I just think planks are super underrated. Like, people be out here posting, like, their ab circuits of doing, like, all this crazy shit. Like...

No, you can get like the same results if you just do a plank and it goes the same with like your workouts and abs like stick to the basics and it gets the job done. Like my core has never been as strong as it has been as it is now. And obviously, so I played a little bit of role, but like my my planks like I do planks three times a week now. And if I really wanted to, I could probably hold like a three minute four minute plank. Start putting weight in your back. I know I could. I should. You should. You should.

I really should, actually. That's such a valid point. I do planks when I teach dance. Speaking of teaching dance, our next underrated is sports as cardio. Cardio can be done in so many different ways, and you don't need to run to do cardio. I teach dance once a week, and it's like a hip-hop cardio class. We get a workout in there. Like, how I said, I asked someone, like, I was, like, just curious, like, do you start a workout on your watch? How many calories did you burn? He was, like, 430. And I'm, like, holy fuck, like...

Why, like, go for a run? Because I bet none of those people in that class, if you were like, go run for an hour, no fucking shot they'd do it. Yeah. No chance in hell. And for a fat loss purpose, if that's your goal, we're talking calories in, calories out. So if running for an hour makes you want to die...

You could go do something fun. Beach volleyball. Well, not beach, but sand volleyball...

Tennis, pickleball, kickball. Yeah, like there's so many things to do that are just so much more fun. Like people, like dance class is so fun and it doesn't even feel like work out. There's music on. It's a good time. We're just hanging out. We're vibing. And boom, you burn the same amount of calories as the person that just ran three miles. Yeah.

And I'm excited because I was, I used to be super into tennis like a few months ago before my surgery. And I kind of like stopped doing it. And our friends that were over the other night, they still go every week. I just haven't been going. And I'm like, you know what? Starting this week, like I'm going to join you again. And I'm going to start going to tennis because Taylor goes to dance and I got nothing to do during the week. Cause I'm like,

whatever but i'm gonna pick up tennis again yeah i'm i'm not gonna lie like i've been overdoing it like i'm going to dance tonight and when i dance twice in a week my body's like fuck you bitch but it's just so fun that i want to go so bad and then i cry when i am so sore but it's such good cardio like

Like my walks outside these days, but you literally could not catch me doing another form of cardio. This is just way more fun There's so many things that you can do outside

Next up is going to be an underrated so random I know but it is so underrated like it's so fucking good when I made it the other day I was like oh and I got so pissed at myself when I went to the grocery store that I couldn't that I forgot to buy the supplies for it and as a snack mango with chamoy and tahini on there oh my god it chefs cuz it's so good like Taylor made it the other day when we were like sitting there hungover on Saturday morning and

And I had some And I'm like Oh my god This shit is so good Like Way to spice up Like your fruit Like it's so good Underrated seasoning fruit Yeah seasoning fruit Like

You can get sugar-free chamoy on Amazon. I bought like two massive jugs of it, which I... You will never buy it again. I didn't mean to. You're going to have it for the rest of your life. I didn't read the label saying that it was like a two-for-one massive special. One thing about us, we buy things without looking at the quantity or size. Yeah. So now we have all this chamoy and I'm like, I'm going to lather all of my fruit in it. It's so good. It's good. If you need a good refreshing snack, get yourself some mango chamoy and tea. So good. So good. So good.

Next underrated kind of ties in with the overrated hustle culture. But rest days and rest weekends. Take the fucking weekends off. You don't need to.

Be grinding all the time. Enjoy your rest days. I know some people work out on the weekends because if you work a 9-5 job, it makes it easier to go on the weekends because you don't have work, which makes perfect sense. But taking the time off, whatever your designated time off days are, enjoy them. Take them. Two rest days a week works great for me. I don't think I could work out anymore. When I first started, I could

I was bouncing back quick. I could probably work out seven days a week. I was in the gym like every single day. My body can't do it anymore. Yeah. Because I like just work out harder than I used to. I lift heavier. It's just not going to happen. And quite frankly, I don't want to. Yeah. Even if I could, I don't want to rest. I'm even less than that. I'm four days a week. Like I'm obviously still struggling to like

Be able to hit upper body So maybe like down the road when I can again hit upper body three days out of the week I will but right now I just can't hit upper body three days a week like it ain't happening I can barely get through two of them. So I'm only going to the gym four days a week and then the other two I'm walking Doing a hot girl walk for like three to five miles so don't Think it's a bad idea to take like two to three rest days out of the week like do you girl? And guys listening

I know we have a small guy audience. But yeah, rest days are definitely underrated. Yeah, rest days are literally as good for you as...

Training days. Also not like not even just like the physical aspect good for you but also like the mental aspect good for you. Like it gives me such like mental clarity and like makes me like appreciate the gym way more than like what it was like when I used to like go to the gym six to seven days out of the week it was more because like I was like in a sense like punishing myself for the things that I was doing outside of the gym like I was like I have to go to the gym six to seven days out of the week. But then once I started to like

go back and start having more rest days, it made me appreciate slash, like, work harder, like, for the days that I am in the gym and, like, appreciate the workout. Because it's like, I would rather now go to the gym knowing I'm going to have a good workout than, like, be... Go for no reason. Yeah, exactly. I would always have a day of the week where I went and fucked around and didn't do anything. And it's like, I would rather just, like, not have gone. Yeah. Like... And put my energy to work. That was a waste of my time, you know? Literally, yeah. So...

Next up on the list is good mornings. I've been loving good mornings. I had to throw an exercise on there Taylor has an exercise too, which she'll say next but good mornings. I do them literally every single like glute hamstring day They feel so fucking good and every single time I do them i'm sore like I love them I do them on the v-squat machine, but you can do it on anything You can do it with barbell on your back. You can do it on a smith machine like you name it, but

I love good mornings. Yeah, they're totally underrated. They're good. They're good exercise They're not really in my split these days unless I want to like switch it up there. Yeah, they're they're they're a good one um next uh, I have this word it has pull-ups every day, but i'm really gonna kind of switch it up and just say like calisthenics in general like body weight things I kind of think it's

I know a lot of people make this joke, like, when you've been lifting for a while but, like, can't do a pull-up or, like, when you've been lifting for a while and, like, they ask how many push-ups you can do. I think you should be able to do a push-up. I think you should be able to do, like – pull-ups are hard. I'm not saying pull-ups are easy. But, like, I think being able to do body – like, body weight basic exercises correctly –

And like get even if I'm not saying like I just worked up to 10 pull-ups and I was fucking hard I did a set of pull-ups every single day and like it was fucking hard it took work But even then getting like one or two pull-ups. I think you should be able to do well think about it this way like what if someone's trying to kidnap you and steal you and you have to like climb up something or you need to like

use your body weight you should be like physically safety wise like shit like that is like good to have in your back pocket you should just be physically in shape and i just know it's a funny joke like i've even i think posted the tiktok before like when you ask so many pull-ups you can do and it's like funny but it's like

Well, like why can't you do a pull-up? Yeah, like maybe try yeah, maybe learn and it's like yeah It's hard. And yeah, you don't have to you don't have to do anything But like don't be a pussy bitch learn figure it like try Try to do it try to get the strength to where you can do it because I do pull-ups every day after my well Not every day because not only my rest days, but every single time I go to the gym I do one set of pull-ups and on my back day i'll do More sets, but i'll do one set of pull-ups every single day and I feel like

very strong and very physically in shape knowing that push-ups and pull-ups and dips are things i can complete like what was it i was on a boat when i went on the boat with my boyfriend when it was like his friend's party and i went on that boat i came out of the water and just like pushed myself up and it's like yeah this is why i'm physically in shape because i like

Just got up out of the water exactly didn't need a ladder and hopped right up and it sounds stupid But going to the gym and being strong for the purpose of like only being strong in the gym is like kind of fucking dumb Like you should be able to do shit Yeah, I have one more that I didn't put on the list, but I thought of when we were podcasting Sure, and i'm gonna add that in there real quick. Yeah, and it is seed cycling and

Like I'm like so I've been so for like the wellness girl aspect of just like life and things and like putting like microgreens into shit like having nutritional ease and just having like more whole foods but also like seed cycling I feel like has helped me out tremendously like with balancing out my hormones I've done it since January 1st and ever since then like.

The last few months, like, my hormones have definitely balanced out more than what they were. And, like, I've gotten my period, which is great. But also with, like, the benefits of the seeds, too. Like, seeds are so good for you. I'm not going to go into, like, heavy detail because, one, I'm not, like, certified on this shit, like, at all. Right. But I will give you guys a website to, like, look in on if you guys want to know more information on seed cycling because this is where I learned all of my, like, shit.

shit and it's called nourished by nutrition and you can type in so just type in nourished by nutrition seed cycling for hormone balance and you can read the entire article of like seed cycling what it is like the benefits of each seed and I just think like even if it's not doing anything like some people will say like oh seed cycling is just like a what's the word I'm looking for placebo yeah placebo even if it is

for like your hormones and balancing your hormones seeds are still good for you so like i'm still like i'm still being a healthy fucking queen okay so that's my last one i think that's underrated and i put my seeds onto my oats every single morning do you have anything else no i'm looking at the website right now oh you are yeah but that is it that was a ranty ranty episode i think that was like an hour and 20 minutes we've been fucking talking yeah

My mouth is tired. I'm done for the rest of the day. I will be mute. Thank you. No, literally. That's the thing, guys. When we podcast, the days we podcast, all the rest of my content is just mute everywhere else because I'm like, I have to voiceover. I don't want to fucking talk. I have to voiceover a TikTok.

So, but I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. I'm going to post a graphic later in the week on the podcast Instagram of overrated versus underrated things. And you guys better go into the comments and add like your opinion on like overrated or underrated things that we maybe missed during this podcast.
