It's the fall edition, guys. Look at the set. Isn't it really cute? You're like, wow, it's so beautiful. Set design and production by Andrew Phillips and Enya Yumanzar. Oh, the episode literally just started and our runner...

Okay. Bring it in. Give me my fucking coffee, bitch. Bring it in. Give me my fucking chicks. It's caramel brulee. Caramel brulee? Wait, what did he think it was? He just said the word creme brulee.

The creme brulee. We should just get him creme brulee. The creme brulee. For context, our beautiful friends, Josie and Elsie, were like, we're going to go on a Starbucks run and we'll get you something. Oh, my God. You want to show how strong you are? How strong the big boy is? Damn, motherfucker. You? Oh.

You just writing in Elsie's notes, creme brulee. And her ass went up there. It was like, look at the creme brulee. And they were like, what the fuck? But...

Set design by me, Andrew Phillips, and Anya Yemanzor. The up-and-coming set designers. If you need us for your music videos, let us know. I will design a music video. But we did it. We did a Patreon-exclusive episode. Yep. Setting this up. Talking our shit. Talking naughty shit that we should have put on there. Dude, I wish. It's so funny. Yeah. It's also just funny, like...

being on the podcast and being like oh if only you guys knew like if only you guys knew how fun it was over there like it's so good over there yeah but i just i had like a good quip moment which i don't you know you're not you're not allowed to hear it until you fucking go over there is what she's trying to get to i i can't i can't repeat it but yeah that was all fun and games and then um yeah thank you to everybody who subscribed can i say what i was gonna say i was gonna say

this is not funny. I was literally like, that was all funny games. And then my grandpa passed away. My grandpa passed away. My grandpa died a long time ago and I met him. Actually, I had a chance to meet him once in Honduras, but he was the grandpa on my dad's side that abandoned my dad. And at the age of five,

five years old. I was a ride or die. They were like, oh, Abuelo's here. Abuelo, you want to meet him? I stayed in that bed, jumping like a little monkey, monkey jumping on a bed. And I looked at my grandma and said, nope, I don't want to meet no fucking traitor. And then he died. And yeah, I just... Karma's a bitch. Yeah. He died of like old age. Karma. That's karma. Yeah, my grandpa died. He's dead. He passed away.

A few days ago. Really sad. But, you know, I'm thugging it out for you guys. I'm pushing through. We're saying this because Drew deserves ample attention and love. Yeah, I don't think I get the attention I deserve for this. Especially from my friends who don't do good things for me and just ignore me and are mean to me and make fun of me. You're literally assuming a lot right now. Or you're saying a lot for the public. I do a lot. Maybe I used to do more and I got tired of not getting it back.

um but yeah that's the update of the week there's not much else new york was fucking awesome new york was the best i think people think we actually moved there because there are people who didn't watch the episode and didn't like actually i saw comments on tiktok we're like did they move to new york and all the comments were like yes they did like no we fucking didn't like we're liars we're liars why are you believing us like why do you believe us we're liars we lie it's fun um fuck new york i fucking hate you i'm kidding um

What are we going to talk about today? Oh! How we got to the internet. How did we show up? How did you show up? I don't know if I know that. Okay, so my presence on the internet started, I want to say like 2013 when like, and I bet no one's fucking heard of it, but GIF boom was a thing and...

My sister got really popular on gift boom and Parker Kitt Hill was really popular on gift boom. And I was fucking obsessed with everything Parker did. Like literally like Stan, like, like stalker Stan shit. I think we've talked briefly about this, but one time, like, um, he was at this mall in Texas that we both like went to, I had to drive like fucking two hours to it, but it was whatever. And he was there and I had seen him. I saw him, um,

in Gap and I like followed him in there and then he fucking disappeared in Gap and I was like what the fuck like where did he go like I was gonna go ask him for a picture but I was like freaking the fuck out and then he I DM'd him and he didn't respond for like I think like probably two years when like we finally like met each other in DC and he was like yeah I was like there I applied for the job and I didn't fucking get it and I'm glad I didn't get it

That's awesome. And yeah, so it started on gift boom. I posted a couple of gifts on there. Wait, also like I'm thinking of you like being a gap. I mean, like literally where the fuck did he go? He literally fucking vanished. He like actually went to the back to go do an interview. No, I swear to God, I thought he was hiding from me. I thought he was hiding from me because I like yelled his name and he like his neck broke and then he like ran away.

But like, I was like, oh my God, he's hiding from me. He's in between the racks like a little kid when you would like hide in between clothing racks. No, exactly. And then, yeah, so gift boom, posted a couple on there and I was like, fuck that. Like Madeline's reigning supreme on that. And then, yeah, like I slowly migrated and I just posted a fucking vine that like my first vine went viral and the rest is history. And then you now.

was on you know on you know yeah I was I was live streaming a lot on you know and I was actually one of their first like partnered people who were like paid on you now which like was fucking crazy for me at the time I was like holy shit this is like like I had never seen that much money in my life um and it was fucked up because the they fucked up the splits for like the first six months and they were giving me 90 percent of everything um so I was like

raking in cash. Like, like as a ripe 16 year old, like you could not fucking believe. No, literally like deposits of like 12 grand a month, like the most insane shit. And it wasn't like I was like uber famous or anything. Like it was literally just like 300 viewers and they fucked up and they were just overpaying me for like six months. And I had still to this day, like very rarely see money like that.

like that. Dude, yeah, that's insane. It was actually absurd. And then my mom embezzled it all and stole it from me. Literally me, every single birthday, every single birthday, I'm like, you fucking cheapskate. You're evil and you're conniving. Did your parents ever steal from you? Every single birthday I had, they kept the money that I got as a gift. And they'd be like, no, no, no, I'm saving it for you. Yeah, fucking right, bitch. No, that's the same shit my fucking mom. Oh, what, you need to feed me with that money? Bitch, give me that shit. I need to set...

Set it. Set the record straight. Your mom is not. She embezzled from me, but she paid me back before. Like, she just paid me back eventually. She was just like, you know, like. I mean, she did, like, literally, like, caretake you. So technically she didn't embezzle anything. But, you know, yeah. Exactly.

She's literally like. It was because I was too young to have my own bank account in PayPal. So I just like had them deposit it into that PayPal. And your mom was like, girl, I'm going to the store. I'm going to the store. No, she had like an Hermes bag the next day. A Birkin? A Birkin. A little Birkin. She didn't actually. Why is someone buying me a Birkin? I'll buy you a Birkin. Thanks, babe. All right.

wait, that just reminded me also, like I literally, one of our most annoying traits is we go into a store and look at something that's really expensive. And I look at you, I'm like, Drew, can you buy this for me? And he's like, well, how much is it? And I'm like, oh, it's $800. He's like, oh, it's only 800. I could get you like four if you want. And like, we do it really loud. I'll get you four or five of those exact pieces. Like if you want. Um,

And the employees, I don't think like that because it's really annoying because like their ears perk up because they think we're meaning it. And then she's literally like, yeah, if you want 10 of them, I can do that for you. Oh, it's only $300. I can get 20 if you want. No, the fucked up thing is it was a Miu Miu jacket. And it was like four grand. And I was like, yeah, let me get four of those. It was like the puffer jacket that they just did. Yeah. Like, oh.

I just love clothes. I love clothes so much. It's fucked up. It's like it will be the bane of your existence. It is. It is my... I saw this TikTok and it literally is. It's my feminine urge to gather. Like I just like... I like need to collect and gather. Gather nuts and berries. Yeah, but my nuts and berries are like Miu Miu. Vintage Miu Miu shoes. Your feminine... Oh, what was the... What's the joke? It's like... The feminine... Women... Women...

Like go through kleptomania phases because it's the feminine urge to gather. It's so fucking fun to steal. Like, okay, if it's so bad, why is it fun? Exactly. Why does it make me feel good? Yeah. Why is it literally the most fun I can have? Yeah.

Stealing is the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off. That's a Panic at the Disco song. That's a true song. Really? Yeah, and those are the lyrics. Today, you exhibited your absolute lack of hearing words. Dude, I don't... Even when you were singing the part of that song you were singing, I can't explain how shocked I was. I don't know what it is. I literally just cannot understand musicians. It does not register with my brain. Like, I try to understand the words, and I can hear maybe two or three. And while we were in the car, I don't know if you heard me go silent. I was literally like...

trying with all my might to hear what the fuck people are saying ever in music. Like, it does not make sense to me. That is so crazy. I don't understand how anybody can hear lyrics. I'm literally the complete opposite. Like, I can enjoy the song and immediately I'm like writing fucking genius. Like, I have like a genius catalog in the back of my brain where I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah. Party till I die. Da, da, da, da, da. Da, da, da, da, da.

with my hands up high i don't know i don't know that whole one um but yeah so my way to the internet was so like or my way to my like in for becoming an influencer how i did it and how it happened was i was like

I always get jealous because I didn't have access to the internet the way y'all did when y'all were super young. Like, you and Orion, like, have such a, like... Dude, so unsupervised. Like, yeah, unsupervised. Dude, nice face. And, like, just, like, yeah, like, a whole documentation of your youth. And, like, that is, like, just shit I don't have. Mm-hmm.

But I was like in like sixth, seventh grade, really obsessed with like two vloggers. The CTFXC, which is actually like where I got the name Radio is Dead. And I like borderline stole it. Like, oh, my God, they did TV is dead. Yeah. And I was like, oh, my God, that's literally like radio is dead. Those motherfuckers are still vlogging to this day. I'm pretty sure. Which they shouldn't be. But, you know.

Literally, he had like 2,000 days in a row. No, the day I go from like y'all watching my shit, like tell me to stop. No, I'm begging you. Let me know. When you stop, when you find yourself not interacting with my IG posts anymore and you come back to my page and I've turned my likes off, you need to comment. You need to be brave and you need to comment and say, girl, give it up. Give it up. I'm sorry if you're hiding your likes. Let it go. Let it go. My thing is,

I'm going through each. I'm going through those fucking likes and counting them by hand. I have done it. On you. I cannot say. But out of curiosity, I did it. And I was like, maybe I would turn up my likes also. Because it was quick.

It wasn't like I sat there for like five minutes. Damn. Damn. Damn. That is so mean because like obviously everyone's destined to flop. No, I was just in my flop era for the last year and a half. Yeah, I go through constant flop eras. But my thing is you have to take pride in your flop. Yeah. Don't run away from the flop because it only hits harder. Exactly. Like you need to put on your best fucking dress. Just relish in the flop. And you need to go out there. Yeah. And.

and slay in your flop try something new in your flop era yeah but but not too new like don't be crazy don't be like some of y'all be revamping like you're gonna like a old spit and shine is gonna get those like legs back yeah no i'm uh yeah i just like me like shaming influencers but i don't fucking care like yeah give it all clip this clip this in a year

In a year when we're sitting here like Haggerty, we haven't even gotten a studio yet. We're still in this apartment. But yeah, embrace the flop. Yeah, I just believe in embracing the flop. Don't turn off those likes and don't bullshit me like, no, it's just unhealthy to see it. No, you're like embarrassing for what? Like this is literally an app where we're posting pictures of ourselves. Also, like people are like, no, this is so embarrassing because I'm not getting enough likes anymore. Because it's like you get fed as an influencer, the delusion that like if you go from getting like,

say like 150k likes on photos to dropping to 90k you're like oh my god i mean nothing like i fucking suck 90 000 people interacting with a fucking thing you posted on the internet is still insane and it's nothing to be ashamed of girl like embrace the flop like if i saw your numbers that low if i could see your numbers i would give it a like

But now that I don't know what number is your, I'm like, how can I, how can I contribute to this flop? I can't. Sorry if I'm being quiet. I'm just like thinking about my dead grandpa. Yeah.

But yeah, I've had many flop eras. I go through flops. Everyone has a good flop. No, yeah. I was literally in my flop era last year. But it was kind of intentional. I was like, I'm just going to take a step back, really reanalyze who I am. I was kind of getting lost in it. And also, I was dealing with a dead brother. Which is like you've been dragging that out forever. Yeah.

It's been two years. Give it up, motherfucker. Well, now I have a dead grandpa. Gumpy. They're playing squid game in heaven. Your grandpa and my mom are playing squid game in heaven. They're playing squirt game. Let me stop. That's not funny. That's not funny. I've had a really fucked up era where anything will make me laugh. Literally anything will make me laugh because I've just like, I've given up.

Guys, I have no more will. The fucked up thing is this isn't the only loss I've had this month. What was? Oh, are you going to confess that right now? I'm not confessing shit. You're confessing shit. I'm not confessing anything. I leave to Texas to go to my brother's wedding. I go to my brother's wedding. It was beautiful. It was like a great time. I'm thinking of the video of your nephews.

Stuck in the fucking... And he's thinking, like, it was beautiful. No, it was genuinely a beautiful wedding. And I come home, and I'm so excited to hang out with Goji. I think you can see where this is going. You have to say, like, reiterate who Goji is, because... Goji's my praying mantis. She was in an episode. She was in an episode. She was our first guest. And I come home, and she's a little slow, and...

just doesn't feel right but i'm like you know what okay which is like kind of not true because literally the day and a half before you got back when i sent you that video of her literally fucking scramming for her life when i went to go water her so but she was she was dehydrated and dying of thirst she was like thank god for water thank god for water i get home she's a little slow something doesn't feel right and you know i'm like oh she's probably just like

excited to see me she wants to get out of her cage I take her out of her cage we play for a little bit and I'm like I'm gonna feed her so I go and I feed her her flies and I spray her with her water and she tweaks out she's loving life and I'm like oh okay she's fine she's fine and then not four fucking hours later Josh comes into my room

And I was like, oh, like, is your bug still, is your bug dead yet? And I was like. Great. Okay. Also to paint the picture, I had just walked into Drew's room and was like laying on his bed. Yeah. And Josh came in and like closed the door and it was going to be like a proper little like moment where we all hang out. We just catch up. I just got so scared that like.

I'm also I'm trying to find the video of that moment because I got like my reaction on film and it's so fucked up. But I got scared for some reason that my phone was like there. I thought there was like a mirror behind me and I was scrolling through my photos and I literally was like, oh, my God. First of all, as if this shit is live. Y'all would have seen my big fucking kahunga boobs. That's not what it was. And yeah, so I I Josh walks in the room and he's like, is your bug dead yet? Jokingly, like it's it's a funny joke.

I'm like, no, look, I go and pick up the container and I, I like see her just like on her fucking back, like on the dirt. And there's like dirt coating the walls. And I'm like, I'm like, what the fuck? It's like, she's just fucking, is she dead? And like, I shake it a little bit and she's not fucking moving. And I like start freaking the fuck out because like,

Although it was literally just a fucking bug, like, I fell in love with her. Like, it literally... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It broke my heart. You fell in what? Yeah, she, like... Made you horny. Ate me out. Like, she, like, played with my butthole. I put her on my butthole and it tickled. Big fucking whoop. Like, that's not weird. It's not even bestiality. It's a fucking bug. Like, you're making it weird. Okay. Whatever. She... She literally died in, like, four fucking hours. And I don't know what went wrong with...

You fucking poisoned her. No, that's what I think. I like sprayed her. I asked, I was like, what's in the bottle? Like, is there like hairspray in the bottle? And I was like, I sprayed it with vinegar. But no, and I like freak out. I'm like, oh my God. Video, insert video now. What happened? Yeah, this is it. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, it's like dead, dead. Let me see. Like, it's like...

I'm so used to it. It's like in the throes of like decomposing.

How did you not realize that? I was like the one who put you in the water. Because it was alive this morning. I literally just fed, look her, she has bugs. I would not put a fucking bugs in her cage. She was alive this morning and I fed her water and I sprayed her and she was fucking alive. Is that water in that spray bottle or is that vinegar? No, it's water. I haven't even, I haven't done anything to that water. I'm literally going to fucking kill myself. What in the world? I'm so sorry. That's not funny.

literally it was just because i thought i just pointed that out to you and like you forgot to feed it for like a full time i didn't know it was alive this morning yeah i said it when you told me to feed it and he was feeding it it was alive this morning that means it was alive dude that's yeah and when you came back i remember i before you came back i looked at it she's been alive moving around this morning yes because i like sprayed her and when she's when i spray her she freaks the fuck out

Yeah. Just not, not pretty. Not, not a pretty, like. Can I just play the sound even though it just played because it's literally so funny. Like this is fucked up. See, this is why I'm like, I keep having moments like this where I shouldn't laugh, but I crack the fuck up. No, and you laughed in my fucking face and I was like, girl, I just lost my pet. I was like, that's like if I laughed in your face, if like a Zool passed away. It's not the same. It's not the same. But it is. It is. Okay.

Okay, what made it so funny was Josh literally asking, is that bug dead? And he was doing it like, ha ha, you dumb little bug. Yeah, let me see. And Josh, the thing is, is love that bug. They got along. They played.

I'm sure a lot of y'all have noticed we don't have many ads anymore. And you're probably thinking, wow, oh my God, I feel so bad for them. They deserve ads. But we're doing our job. You're not doing your job. You need to fucking subscribe and engage with me or I will never do my job again. I like, I can't believe I miss reading ads. I like, I miss the taste.

And Josh was like, Josh heard Anya laughing and was like, dude, that's not chill. Like, that's too soon. I was tearing up. I was literally like borderline crying and it hurt my feelings a little bit. Like, and I know you knew it hurt my feelings a little bit. Yeah, I know. Cause then I started being nice and I was like, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. But like, for some reason that was the funniest shit to ever happen. Like, you don't know. It's like you holding this fucking, like what is supposed to hold soup at a restaurant with a dead bug in it. And,

Like, you had something else in your hand and you were like, you were frozen but also moving. I think what happened is, I like to say India killed it, so I don't, like, I can't blame myself. I didn't kill that. And I don't think it was my fault either. I don't think it was anybody's fault. I genuinely think, like, it was either it just got too cold in the house. That's what I was thinking happened. And they, like, die when it gets cold. Or...

It was just old age and that people lied to us and said, oh yeah, they'll live for seven months. But like, I don't think that's true. I think like they just die very easily. And what makes me believe that even more is another praying mantis that I know that I got at the same time passed away like two days later. So. Yeah. Um, which was also very fucking funny to hear. Yeah. Cause, uh,

I don't want to tell someone else's story, but they were both, like, hiding it from each other out of, like, shame and embarrassment. And literally the same thing happened to both of them. Yeah. But I think it just got too cold in the house because also the week you were gone in Texas was, like, some of the coldest nights we had had in a long time. Like, it's not even as cold at night right now. It was literally getting, like, every single night, it was, like...

50 to like 55 degrees no matter what and then in the house it was genuinely murderously cold damn um like i couldn't i couldn't walk around the house without my uggs on damn um so yeah i think the cold killed your bug i should have fucking squished it while it was alive imagine imagine one day you made me so angry i just grabbed it and i went i would have

I would freak the fuck out. I'm not kidding. I would literally freak out. I wouldn't talk to you for at least a week. Like, genuinely, I would punish you. I slapped a friend so hard in the fucking head on the head the other day because I just had the, like, instinctual urge and they, like, would not talk to me. That makes it sound like I go around hitting people, but literally, like, and it was so, it was like, there was no way I could do that.

There was two moments this past week where I'm like... You do go around hitting people. You literally just hit people. You don't hit me. I'm like the... I don't... No one hits me. Everybody hits each other like playfully. Because you're a fucking baby and you'll like take it to heart. Like everyone else could like playfully do things to each other. But you like... You're still in like little kid brain mode where I don't think you...

like that. No, I don't like it. And you got it too much from your brothers. Yeah, I think it has to do with that and I like fully go into like defensive mode and I start beating the person's ass that hits me and I'm like, I get like a little too angry. Yeah, you get like too mad about it. But...

I like don't know what it is. Like if I if I love someone, I hit them. No, I'm kidding. No, but like, you know, like the urge to like squeeze and like grab people like I think that's what I do. It's like when you see a cute animal, you want to squish until its eyes pop out and the brains pour out through the eye sockets.

Me with your bug. But I had two months this week where my brain has just been turning off and I do things and then I'm like, oh, I just did that. And I thought about doing it and I did it without thinking about doing it. One of them was slapping my friend in the back of the head because they were just sitting there and I looked at them and I thought about doing it and before I knew it, I literally... You let the intrusive thought win. If you're watching, you see this. It was the most childish shit ever. I literally...

like swung my arm and I went and like I didn't like put a lot of force into it but I just used my body to pivot my hand and then the other thing I did was um I don't know how to describe this one you have been letting your intrusive thoughts I screamed really fucking loud the other day um at people at people they deserved it they deserved they fully deserved it because they were being very rude and weird and

And I screamed at them. And it scared the fuck out of them. And I, but I didn't like, I didn't scream like, fuck you. I literally just like, with context, I don't want to like give the whole context, but they were being fucking awful. Not awful, but they were not being nice. So yeah, I just turned and I gave like a very murderous scream. And I had thought about doing it like for a brief second and then didn't think about it twice. And then when I had my chance without thinking, I turned and I was just like, fuck.

Like, the most... I can't do it because it will literally, like... It will hurt. It'll hurt. The dogs will start barking. Good murderous scream. Yeah, you have a good scream. I have a good cream, too. Are you scream cream team? I never even said how I got on the internet. Like, we went so far away from that. It's actually unbelievable. Let's reel it back in 20 minutes later. I want someone to, like, knock out how many topics we just ran through from doing that. So...

I was obsessed with CTFXC and the Shaytard family. How did they get away with that for so long? Like, how did they get away with that?

I guess it was just a different time. It was a different time. Also, his like... His whole scandal. His scandal is the craziest shit ever. You know what? It made the scandal worse because aren't they like Mormon? I don't know what they are. I think they are. Yeah, they were like Mormon. So it like made it even worse because it was like, oh, I thought you were pure or whatever the fuck like that's supposed to mean. But...

yeah but like not that shocking because men like i'm gonna look him up and see what he looks like now he's hella chilling no i'm kidding i haven't looked them up i mean they made millions i know they were well my instagram's fucking broken my instagram's been fucking broken all fucking day i'm the only person with a broken instagram right now which is like the most fucked up thing but what's annoying is by the time this episode goes live that won't be true so what's the point of saying it let's see i feel like he hasn't posted in a long time

I'll look it up while you... It takes a special kind of swagger. That's the beginning of one. He's literally just living a life. They look the same. I mean, the kids are like old as shit now. One of their kids is turning 18. Absolutely fucking not. Their oldest is turning 18. Is it the boy or the girl? Yes. Let me see him. The boy is the oldest, right? Yeah. And he plays fucking football. 18. Dude, holy shit. He's a grown ass kid. That is so scary.

Isn't it scary other people are growing and living lives and figuring things out? He looks just like his dad, too. Okay, so yeah, I was obsessed with them. I wanted that family so bad. I was like, they're so happy. But I'm glad to know that they were miserable. I don't think they're miserable. But you know, it's like we were just watching...

that ace family unedited like clip and i was talking i was like you know what it is this isn't the worst clip of a family ever but when you like filter out the like bad parts and the like real parts of a family um and you like clean it up so nicely anytime you're like doing showing real human things it's like fucking scary and you look crazy even if it's not that bad anyways um

So yeah, I was like obsessed with them. So that was like kind of all I watched on YouTube, which is very, I guess not odd. I was gonna be like, that's odd behavior for like a seventh grader. But that's exactly what a fucking seventh grader should be doing. Yeah, watching vloggers. It made no sense because I would like come home from being in a fistfight in middle school and like go home and watch the Shade Darts. Watch white people. Yeah, watch white families and be like, I want this so bad. Mommy, I'm tired.

I'm tired. I want to be white. That's not funny. Yeah. I was like obsessed with them. It is awesome being white. One of the... True. I do like coming from my white family. Yeah.

We have porridge a lot. A lot of porridge is eaten in my house. Porridge and casserole. Porridge, casserole, and hot dogs. If we're feeling naughty. Girl, I love a good hot dog. I will say, I'll fuck a hot dog. I love a good hot dog. I'll slurp a hot dog right now. A good AMC movie theater hot dog. Put it in. No, those fucking... Put it in me. Those little cartas of people selling hot dogs at games and shit when they're grilling the onions and shit. Oh!

That is one of the best. Okay. Tell the motherfucking story. God damn it. So that's all I would watch on YouTube. And then one day there was this video trending. Kai, you're like, you were just looking at me for like such an. I know. I caught it. I caught it too. He's like staring at me. He fell in love for a second. I swear to God, I caught it. I saw it and I was like, oh my God, is he falling in love right now? So I was, I was like,

Obsessed with watching them. And then one of the trending videos on YouTube one day. So yeah, I think I was in like seventh grade still.

Was an animation of a One Direction video. And if you're a directioner, you know what I'm talking about. I don't remember who did it, but it was like making like poking fun at like One Direction and like because it was a fan who made it. So there was all these inside jokes that I didn't understand. And I was like, what is this? Like, I've literally never seen some shit like this. Who the fuck are these people? Like, I want to know. And then there was one song that was like, I'm gonna say it.

it's like that song was in it and I was like what is this song like what like I was so curious and then at the end of the video I'm pretty sure the guy shouted out his like Twitter and they were talking about Twitter and like shit a lot and I was like what is that like what is what are all these things so then I found all

all of them on Twitter. I went through a deep dive. I became so hyper fixated. I watched like all of the One Direction funny moments. So actually so cute. Like I was like so like I couldn't believe it. I was like what the fuck is this? How have I never heard of this? Makes a lot of sense because I grew up in like fucking Opa-locka, North Miami. Like no one at my school or like anyone I knew cared about One Direction. You are so annoying because you opened that so quietly. Can I get some? I'm so fucking crazy.

Whoa, damn. It's in your mustache. I was saving that for later. Do you have any red ones? Yeah, but we'll get it later. So, me being like... I was like, it felt like the biggest thing in the world. And I was like, how have I not heard about this? But granted, also, the internet was so small back then compared to now. And nobody in my area used the internet. So, it made sense that we didn't know who the fuck One Direction was. It wasn't like playing on the radio. Which is also another crazy thing. I was thinking about it the other day. And I did not...

You didn't listen to albums as a kid because there was no streaming services. I still don't. But do you get what I'm saying? Like, I think the regular person really doesn't listen to album that much.

I feel like they just listened to, like, whatever's on the radio. But you didn't... Even if you really liked a song, you didn't have access to really listening to it unless you had the CD. Yeah. Until YouTube. And even then, it's like... It's not like we had iPhones at a young age where we could, like... I say that... Watch it all the time and listen to it all the time. I say that, like, I didn't start listening to music, like, two years ago. Yeah, I'm thinking about me as, like... I, like, have always loved music, but I didn't have access to it. So there's, like...

A lot of musicians I really like, but I'm like, damn, I've never heard this whole album because like when it was out, I didn't have access to like a record store or anything and like whatever, whatever. Dude, oh my God. It's like actually impossible for me to get through this right now.

basically i like went on a deep dive found out everything i was like oh my god i'm gonna make a fan account like i want to be a part of this like i want to like i'm gonna like learn as much as i can as fast as possible like learn all their birthdays like okay yeah i can remember five people's birthdays like all this shit and like got so invested in it and started a twitter account sorry i have a hair in my mouth like why do you say that like that like

Anyways, yeah, I started a Twitter account. Joined the funny side of Twitter because at that point I was already annoying and thought I was funny. I've always been the funniest girl in the room. It's actually really hard sometimes to do that. You are the funny girl. But yeah, I joined Twitter and that's how I joined Twitter. And then when Vine came out,

I don't know why I, like, decided to join it, too. Because I was, like... I was, like, oh, being funny, like, on video? Like, that sounds, like, interesting. So then I joined it there. And, of course, I started out making One Direction Vines. Because, like, I was a part of, like, the One Direction fandom. I actually got a reply from Niall. And that was literally the best day of my life. It was on, like...

When is Justin Bieber's birthday? I think it was on Justin Bieber's birthday. I think March 1st. Yeah, so... Or 2nd. No, March 3rd. Or is it May? No, it's like a day before mine or two days before mine. Okay, yeah, I remember. Or no, maybe it's March 5th. No, that's... No, that's my dad's birthday. Yeah. When is Justin Bieber's birthday? Justin Bieber's birthday.

let's do a series faster march 1st i knew it fuck you okay so it was on march 1st i remember i printed it out and i was so happy i don't even remember what the fuck i said oh i think he had like a broken foot or something and i was like um is jumping around on stage hard or like are you still jumping around and he was like always jumping like i don't care like some shit like that and i i like couldn't believe it because of course being a part of a fandom like

the one number one goal at the top of the list is to get recognized by your favorite and i literally did because now was my favorite got recognized i always get scared about talking about my origins on the internet because um i've been on the internet too long and i've been a child who like had access to like basically a microphone um that i shouldn't have had so maybe don't go looking up some things were said maybe don't go looking up how you know who i was

because I'm me now and I'm good and I'm strong and I'm sexy and I got these big tits now. Yeah. And I did not have those when I was a child. And I play with those big knockers. But yeah. And then that that's history. I like started making normal vines and then like kind of exited the One Direction sphere and like was like really into the 1975 and like Drake for a while. Those are like weird things. I was I was I

I had my stand moment. The paintings on your wall. Oh, yeah. I was infamous for my wall of all the... Because I've always been a music junkie. I'm just like, this is my thing. I had an eight tracks that my followers used to follow before I had Spotify. And then my SoundCloud likes were a thing. But yeah.

That's that, and now I'm here, and I've always been very sad and not had a will to live, and that was something that my followers really enjoyed and connected to me on, and it has not gone away. It is still here, and it's hard. We've garnered a depressed audience, and we love you guys. We love you. But yeah, and...

That's how I got on the internet and that's how I'm here. And I'm not going fucking anywhere. Fuck you. We're not in sync today. We're not in sync? No, because I put my hand out and you didn't instinctually grab it. You kind of just looked at it. Babe, we have to do a little bit of like breathing exercises or something together to link back up. I know.

Yeah, that was like hard for me actually. We need our Neuralinks. I want Neuralinks so fucking bad. I don't know what the fuck that means. You always talk about it and I don't know what the fuck that means. It's Elon Musk's like cyborg bullshit that you put into your brain and you become like a smart person.

Like, he put it in a monkey and it, like, it's fed, like, slurpy or, like, smoothie, like, banana smoothie. And, like, he becomes a genius from this, like, device and he's able to, like, play video games and it's really fucking crazy. I don't know if I would categorize that as becoming a genius. Like, you're literally, like, he becomes a fucking genius.

He can play Mario Party. No, he speaks. I bet he can't play Mario Party because no one is good at Mario Party. Girl, I'm good at Mario Party. I'm going to punch you in the fucking head. And you don't want to have that conversation. You don't want to have that conversation. You're not good at other games, though. Girl, I am good as shit at other games. Good as shit? Fuck you. Okay, well, I think we should bounce off of our internet origin stories and go to...

The plagues of the internet. What I think are deemed plagues that should be absolutely fucking eradicated and I'm tired of seeing and it's just my cunty like bitter takes and...

You may not agree. It's just us being like assholes and being like, I am different. Exactly. At the end of the day, I am the fucking loser. Um, and I, I will be in the corner making fun of everybody else having fun and I will love doing that. Cause you're a fucking loser in my world, Bibs. Yeah. Think about that. Thank you. I actually, I'm a popular loner. Um, okay. So I think one of the plagues right now that I've been talking about a lot and it's kind of whatever, um,

I haven't been touching it that much. The Tate skull paint. Yeah. I think that's a current thing that needs to just not happen. I think we need to, as a society, just let that rest. I think it had its moment, and now I think we just need to just let it die. Give it the fuck up. There are just certain...

I just become bitter with like Halloween and I think it's because of myself. Like I posted about this on the Patreon. I was like, I don't know what about Halloween like just rubs me the wrong way. Like,

If you're not going to go for it, don't go for it. And I think that like also comes with age. Like this past year, I didn't do shit because I was like last year I was trying my best to figure some shit out. I think we kind of slayed with Perfect Blue a little bit, but it was very last minute. And then we did Fairy, which is like, okay, yeah, tried and true. Like it works. Like I did that or not Fairy. I did like Angel. But like I am tired of these last minute costumes where like,

You're claiming to be some very like random ass character in a movie and like you built the costume out of your closet and like the colors aren't the same but you're like you get the idea you get the picture if you have to post a reference photo of your costume for me to understand what the fuck you are you are stay home you are literally adding me like like you are literally coming for me and my existence I support it I support the creativity and the cuteness I'm like you go you do you like

You run that shit. Like, you're happy. You're having a good time. You feel great. The skull paint has got to go. That I will not allow. The thing is, like, okay, I don't fuck with the skull paint. And every time I see it, I'm like, I've seen this so many fucking times. I don't care. But the one thing you have to give it to the girls is that shit takes time. They do that. Yeah, they go in. That is true. That is true. That is three hours of work. Yeah, that is.

staring at a photo of fucking taint long dutch or whatever the fuck his name taint long dutch taint long bottom and staring at his face for hours and figuring it out but some of you bitches look fucked up some of you bitches look like like you fell like in dust because it's like not serving but and i love i love everybody i'm i'm i fucking don't i'm a loving person and i

I love everybody. I talk shit. I'm a piece of shit. I fucking hate you. And I hate myself. There. At least we're all in the same boat. I think... I mean, the notes I have taken down are shit that just like... I guess, no, it does make sense. Because they were plagues. Like the Drake clapping gif. Like that... Hotline bling. What?

That ran its fucking course and I'm over it. The hotline bling gif. Yep. When he's like dancing. Fuck. You know what's one that's like recent and I felt victim to? But I'd like to think that I like did it before it became a plague.

Every bitch moves out of their fucking home for the first time and gets an apartment or like everybody designs their room for the first time and they have to get those fake vine plants. They have to. They know. They like have to. It's not a room set up until you have like one of like these. I was about to say we have them here. We have them now. Like it's different because it's like interior design mode activated. Like...

I'm putting three vine plants on this wall. I was so jealous of your vine plants. I know. They're not your vine plants. They're your vine plastic. I was so jealous. I was like, damn, I want that. And over time, I started to fucking hate it. Rightfully so. That is a plague to the world. Also, the TikTok lights.

okay you know what it is so personally i am a fan i've always been a fan of like mood lighting mood lighting like that's always been a serve i was very privileged in this one way that from a very young age i don't know why but we had access to hue lights for a long time like i've had them in my life since i was like 13 if you go back on my ig i was always fucking serving with the colored lights like if you go to 2014 i have my blue lights i have my purple lights

I have my flashlight. That's 1975, babes. Yeah, I know, but it's weird that I had that because I'm like, we didn't have money. What lights were those? Oh, but my dad worked for a really rich family, so we got those things. The water speakers. Do you remember those motherfuckers from Vine? No. The water speakers? Are you kidding me? I would have to see one. I would have to see it to believe it. But yeah, I'm a fan of mood lighting. Oh, sorry. I opened my phone and my grandpa's obituary was there. Sorry. I need a moment. That's not funny. Um...

Yeah, why are you laughing? Because it's fucking funny. But I've always been a fan of mood lighting. But you know what it is with the TikTok ones? It's like one, you're going to peel the paint off that wall. Like those things are like industrial or they actually start for some reason. Like your room is humid because you're gross and you're like 15 and you don't know how to take care of yourself. And it's like already like sagging off the wall. And then like I hate the...

weren't a Vine thing, were they? Yes, they were. I never saw them. This was like the original LED lights. Not for me. Oh my God. Maybe I'm literally fucking batshit crazy and delusional. But yeah, I'm a fan of the... But like the...

I don't know. It just doesn't give. Like, the room itself looks good because it's lit nice, but don't you let me see the corner of that fucking wall. Don't let me see the walls to ceiling. If I see the strip, I'm going to freak the fuck out. Yeah, like, that is gross. My siblings had those, though. They were like, they fell victim. I loved my disco lights that I had when I was a teenager. I got sent one. Yeah, I saw that. I was like, they're still doing this? I know. Try. Do you remember Justin Bieber tour merch?

Dude, yes. Like that nightmare. No, I've said before, that was literally the beginning of fast fashion. Like they like couldn't believe it. That was insane. Um, and the dead rose emoji and roses in general. Oh, roses, roses got ran the fuck through in 2016. Every bitch here, the two and I've said this in front of people and they're like, I have this and I'm like, look at you looking dumb as fuck except Christian. Cause I love Christian because he fell victim to this. Um,

The bee. The bee tattoo of 2017. Thank you, Tyler, the creator. You literally ruined multiple lives with that one because like these bitches could not believe the outdoors. They couldn't believe that there were flowers and bees out there. They were like, I... You know, before you brought it up, I never knew. Like, they like...

Actually, now that you mention it, these are important. So everyone, every fucking nerd walked out of 2017 with like a sunflower like tattoo or a bee emoji, which is the Tylerfication of the world. But 2016, every bitch walked out of 2016 with some sort of rose tattoo. Dead rose emoji. Dead rose emoji, rose tattoo. I'm looking up dead rose emoji tattoo. Rose clothing.

2016 was like if you were like one of the like nerds of the internet, like you were like in a pastel face. No, that's 2015. 2015 was the year.

No, I can't. I actually can't. Like, no, imagine having a dead rose emoji. That's the worst part is it's based off an emoji. Need that. I'm literally ironically going to get one now. I'm going to get a B with landing on a dead rose. Oh, and it's a commentary on like...

climate change. The way you just said commentary, it's not like you said a common Terry, like commentary on climate change. Um, but yeah, what's a tattoo that like walked out of 2018? I can't think. Um,

I think everybody learned their lesson. Yeah. I think we were very close in 2019 to getting cow print tattoos. I think we were very, very close. Not us. The cow print shit, I could never get one. The cow print shit, I was not. I could not rock with it. I was like, y'all are taking this shit too fucking far. Like y'all are taking it too fucking far. Just because Doja was serving in her video did not mean that it's your turn.

Sure. Next time I'm talking and you decide to talk over me and try to speak while I'm speaking, I'm going to go over there and slap the fuck out of you. You're getting spanked. Yeah, you're getting a big spanking on your butt and I'm pulling those pants down. Do you want me to spank you? Also, one more thing. One more thing that I can't do. Okay, go.

Is the Impractical Jokers. That might be blasphemy. What is that? There's like a cult following of the Impractical Jokers online. And like I may be unleashing the beast right now. No, you know the Impractical Jokers. Like the trio that does like they prank each other.

No, I don't know what it is. They have like the craziest TV show. It may be all ironic, but I literally cannot get behind it for the life of me. And it's okay if you don't get it. That's cool. Stay that way. You don't want to see it. I literally, yeah, I don't know what that is. I used to fucking love the Impractical Jokers, I will say. And it might be a nostalgia thing, but... Oh, Prank vs. Prank was another thing that I was obsessed with during CTFXC era. Oh. Also, I think my LASIK eye surgery is fucking up. Like it's just not working anymore? Yeah, I think I'm like low-key going blind. Okay.

My vision's getting blurry. No, that's because you don't wash your eyes and face when you wake up. And there's boogers fucking accumulating and blocking your vision. And then, yeah, like I stare at my screen. I've been staring at my screen a lot recently, so it could be that. Also, before we get into the questions for the end of this video, which are from our beautiful patrons. Slay! Slay, patrons. And then we'll get into media. Don't think we forgot, because I could never fucking forget. One last thing is...

I haven't really seen it, but I don't want it to start. Don't be fucking mean to Kai. We can be mean to Kai because we have intimate, nice, soft, sexual sex with him. And also, his name is K-Y. K-Y. It's not K-I-E. K-Y Jelly. K-A-E. K-I-E. K-Y Jelly. You can call him Lube. Call him Lube in the comments. Lubert.

Okay. Lubiana. Give us those questions, girl. Okay. Christian says, what's the hardest lesson you've learned in adulthood? Okay. Whoa. Girl. Whoa. Okay. I'm going to repeat it just in case. Could you hear it? Just repeat it. Christian says or asks, what's the hardest lesson you've learned in adulthood? That you are truly alone in this life. Like you can have your people, you can have your family, but at the end of the day,

You're alone. Well, don't... That's, like, really fucking sad. And you're gonna die alone. I've always known that, personally. I've always felt that. But... I just found that out when my brother died. And now I'm reliving it because my grandpa just died. And honestly, like, when my bug died, like, that was really traumatic. Damn, I'm being... I'm surrounded by death recently. Like, you motherfuckers better watch out. Are you threatening us? I'm not threatening y'all. I'm just saying...

One eye open when I'm sleeping. No, one eye. You know how you would always say like bad things come in threes? Yeah. Oh my God. Wait. Bad things. Okay. I've always said bad things come in threes. My brother died. I had my heartbreak. And then what else? What was the other one?

Oh, I don't know. No, there was one before that. It was like my brother died. The IRS is after you. Oh, the other thing is something I can't talk about. I cannot talk about that. Well, my hardest lesson was probably, I don't know. I feel like God was very nice to me. I got all my hard, awful lessons of life very young. Well, it's one of those. Also, addiction is easy.

That's all I'll say on that. Not easy to deal with, but it comes easily. It comes. It can happen. So be careful, motherfuckers. This makes me sound like... I hate this because it makes me sound so like...

I'm just such an empathetic queen and it's hard for me to be selfish or something. But the hardest lesson I had to learn was it is better to be selfish than always be the nice person in the situation. And that's probably like... That took me the longest to learn in my adulthood. And it wasn't until very recently that I do it. And I still have issues with it because... That ties back to literally you're alone. Yeah. It's only you versus the world. I think

I don't know if I would be like, oh, like there are obviously moments where life is difficult because you can express like pain and anguish to someone you love or someone you're close to as deeply as you want, but they will never understand it from your side. Like a big realization I had was I was like, what's so insane is your siblings grow up with you. And I was very close in age with all my siblings, like my like older siblings, um,

And we like saw each other day in, day out. We saw each other kind of go through everything. But even within that, there was a lot we didn't know about what each other were feeling. And like, I have no idea what it's like to be them. And they have no idea what it's like to be me, even though we literally grew up side by side.

So that kind of goes into that like idea of being alone is like you can express all you want, but no one will truly understand other than yourself. And that is like the saddest part of life is because that even goes with like when you love someone so deeply, like they will literally never understand how much you love them or vice versa. And then when death is around the corner for both of you, it's coming. Girl, don't say that because I actually have a theory that like during the holidays is that's when bad things happen to me.

Because that's what always happened. You better be protecting me because something could happen to me. Something could always happen to everybody. And that's like the scariest part. And that's why you have to say you can't hold grudges. I know I've said this before, but Kylie Jenner said it's the year of realizing things. Do you remember that? Yeah. And she was right. Every year I realize. No, it's the life of realizing things. That's the thing. Real life is realized. Wow. Yeah.

That was fucking awful. Let's do a couple more. Yeah. Okay. Lindsay Gutierrez, I think I pronounced that perfectly. If you woke up as the other for a day, how would you spend it? Okay. I'll take it. I would go the fuck outside. I'd take it. Okay. Lindsay said, if you woke up as the other, how would you spend the day? Well, I would wake up in the morning.

and I would grab my big fucking tits. I would just massage them. - Yeah. - And then I'd play with my little vagina. And then I would take my ass to the fucking doctor and get my lumpy ass boobs looked at.

Okay, I don't have lumpy boobs. For those of you out there who look at me and you would like to touch my soft, supple pillow boobs, they feel good. There is like, it feels like a gumball dropped into one of my boobs. Yeah. Okay, that's not chill at all. Not a gumball. That's not fucking normal. It's like not that big. I was you for a day. I would literally wake up and make plans with someone and go and spend the day outside and like running around.

And I would go buy a bunch of clothes. No. Would you also clean my sheets and my. No, because that's your fucking job. Actually, I would use your money to hire someone to do it so that I wouldn't have to actually do the labor. But so you would go hang out with someone. That's it. You wouldn't like. I don't want to. I don't want to see your. You already go days without showering. I would not even piss. I'd piss myself all day.

um next fucking question they're so dumb jenna williams asks favorite episode of the podcast so far jenna asks our favorite episode of the podcast so far and oh i have to look at it i have to look at the cover to know because there is an episode that i thought was like so funny it's like one of my favorite and i i remember posting that about it but i think it was i think for me episode three your mom your mama oh mine also might be episode three

I like the Halloween episode. I like episode three. The flea episode is a really good one. Yeah, you're asking us to name our favorite episode when literally all of them are my favorite episode. I was going to say. I like sexy, not smart. Oh, Drew Stinks. Drew Stinks is probably my favorite.

Like, when I was literally outed as, like, a gross man. Oh, yeah. That is, like, one of the best ones. And also, where toxic and going away is really funny. Oh. I think all of them are funny. Like, I'm fucking conceited. Literally, I love myself. Like, I love myself. Although, I will say, the worst part about doing this is having to, like, hear myself after and, like, listen through it before posting it. It's, like, the worst thing ever. You know what's fucked up is that, like, I...

dread listening to the episodes before we post them i'm like fuck that i don't want to do that like i'm so annoyed yeah but then i start listening and i literally get 30 seconds in and i get lost and i'm like wait i can listen to this fucking forever like i love hearing them speak who are they someone needs to sign them someone needs to um someone needs to like date me and like buy me a lot of stuff

You would be the fucking worst. Dude, I would be terrible in a relationship. I saw someone comment. They were like, I think Drew's afraid of love or like isn't capable of love. And I was like, no, real shit. We are literally complete opposites. I just want to be held. I think at the end of the day, like everybody wants that a little bit. I think at the end of the day, I see...

as literally I want a partner for a long time and if you commit to it, you need to be here for a very fucking long time and don't fucking play with me because I'll smack the shit out of you. You're pissing me off. Yeah, we're the complete opposite because I'm literally like... I could be single for the rest of my life. No, I literally like... When I'm dating someone, I'm like...

I don't understand how people are, like, dating someone. They're like, I'll be here for a little while. I, like, buckle the fuck down. And especially if it's good, I'm like, I'll be here for fucking ever. I don't care. I genuinely have no interest in dating other people. Like, I'm not someone who enjoys dating. I don't like all that shit. I like having a partner who I commit to. I'm very, like, old school, like...

In terms of like my dating life. One day we will end up together. And we'll be like, why did we waste so much time? What's so annoying is we would be such an awful couple. It would be so bad. You would piss me the fuck off. You would piss me the fuck off. It would be so bad. I'm an awesome girlfriend. Yeah. I'm just kidding. I was like, stop. But yeah. I'm just playing. I literally am. I used to think I was the worst girlfriend ever. But I'm like, wait. I'm like awesome today. I'm just evil. That's it.

I have my own little evil ways. But I feel like if I met the right person, like, I would be nice. Does that make sense? I mean, yeah. I've seen you there. Yeah.

I've seen you wanting to step into that once in our life. And I'll never do it again. The walls are built. The walls are back up. The walls are back up. The walls are back up. And you're not getting in. No one's getting in. I'd be getting hurt a million times and I'm like, I'm still open and I want a relationship. I want it. I kind of do like want that chaos again.

It's just fun to have a crush. Okay. Also, it is fun to be hurt. It is so fun to be butthurt and heartbroken. It is literally so fun. Like nothing, nothing is more fun than being heartbroken as fuck and like driving around listening to sad music and being like, just so like full of fucking sadness. And it's like,

It's literally so fucking human to me. It's like almost comical how bad it hurts. And like, I just catch myself like laughing. I'm like, really? Like, why does this hurt so bad? Like, I miss the drama of like walking in somewhere and falling to my knees. Like... No!

to be i can't drive i can't drive i need to be that hurt again where i'm walking in the room and collapsing like that was the thing is i'll never be that hurt again because i'm like that was girl we were literally concerned for you we were like she's gonna off herself everyone's

always thinks that like I'm not okay I would like never say never but like of course I'm somebody who struggles from like suicidal tendencies catch me fucking you'll catch me dead for some other reason before you catch me dead for someone I dated that is embarrassing and I don't want to give you that much credit because my life already sucks with or without you and it's not going to get much better with you I'll always be sad yep all right

That was it. But be happy. Be happy, though. Yeah, be happy. Is there any more questions? Is there, like, one that has a bunch of likes on Patreon? No, because they're all fighting to the death for attention, and they don't want to like each other's comments. Give us one more. Just one more. Let's see...

Vanessa, what supplements does Drew take? Oh my fucking god. No, we're not doing that. That one sucks. No, it doesn't suck, but I could literally just mansplain them for an hour. No one wants to hear that. Literally no one wants to hear that. What time are we at? We're at an hour. Okay. We should just keep going, see how far we can take it. The problem is that the Patreon app is really fucked and starts glitching when I scroll down too far, so I wrote down some, and I only have a couple left.

Jazz wise says favorite moment you've had in New York. Favorite moment in New York was riding the bikes. That was really cute. I loved riding bikes on the streets. I haven't ever done that. And then also running into someone in the subway listening to Emergency Intercom. That was so sick. Damn, you are hogging that. You just yelled at me over a fucking cheese thing. It's bite, bite, pass. Why do you not know about it?

I did that the other day with one of those, like, sandwich, uh, with a sandwich, and it was like, it was like clockwork. It was like two little robots going at it. Um. Matt, uh, uh, uh. My favorite moment from that trip? Mm-hmm. Probably us at the bar with Matt and Dom. Oh, yeah. Oh, also the fucking club with Kai was literally so fun. Oh, yeah, that was so fun. Dude, that was so fun. Yeah, that was literally the most fun I've had in, like, a while. Um.

I'm like, anytime we get to have alcohol, like, can I think of something? I'm going to start taking teaspoon of vodka before every podcast. No. You said that the other day and they literally were like, don't do that. I said that to you and Kai and y'all were like, no. Kai was like, yeah, I support that fully. Yeah. And then you were like, don't fucking do that. Absolutely. I would never do that. I just liked the whole thing was fun. I just liked running around with you because I felt like.

Felt like home. It felt like you coming into, like, a world that I had been living in, and I was like, oh, my God, like, Drew's here, and, like, I'm watching him, like, interact with, like, all these people I know, and it was, like, fun. I did conquer my social anxiety. Oh, my God. I did not realize how bad my social anxiety was until that trip to New York. I cannot talk to people. I can't even, like, think about, like...

Before New York, my biggest concern with the trip was like, I'm going to meet so many fucking new people and I'm so scared. I know. When you said that, I was like, oh my God, your shit is bad because why are you thinking about that ahead of time? I don't know. And that is so weird. People with anxiety. You know what? Shout out to people with anxiety. Yeah. Yeah. I feel bad for them. I feel bad for them. Shout out to people with social anxiety. Yeah. Yeah. I feel bad for them. Yeah. I can't think of a specific moment I loved when we were eating at Kenka.

Oh yeah, that was our spot. We ate there a bunch. Yeah, I literally, like, probably the night, yeah, at the club with Kai was, like, the best night. It was, like, so fucking fun. Is there one more, Kai? Let's see. Dick in Soup asks thoughts on Blade.

Oh, my God. Okay, now. Yes. Let me mansplain Blade real quick for you guys. I love Sad Boys SBE. I love Blade. I love Echo 2K. I love Young Lean. I actually was just listening to Jonathan Lean Doerr. And that can take us into the media of the week. What's your media of the week? His side project, Jonathan Lean Doerr, is more of a rock band.

type deal he's got going on. It's really, really interesting actually. And his album Stranger with the song Agony is really good. And Yellow Man is an amazing song. Then Blade has the new album The Fool is really good. I think that's a really strong project, but I will always, always,

have a spot in my heart for Peroxide by Echo 2K. That's just like probably top tier song. Don't even get me started about Thai boy digital. Like who else? Who else is there? Come on. Okay. Media, media of the week. Halcyon and On and On by Orbital.

Beautiful, beautiful song. Belfast by Orbital. Come on. Come on, Orbital stans. Hey, are there any Orbital stans out there? Let me hear you make some noise. I felt like I've talked maybe a total of seven seconds this entire podcast, unless I'm just completely non-existent. No, you're doing exactly what you did in the Patreon episode, where for some reason at the end you start ramping up. And I got Gimme Head by DJ Clint. That's a great song.

And then Deep Forest by Deep Forest. Yup, yup. And that song was recommended to me by a buddy on Instagram. I wish, but yeah. And in my book, I've been reading Android Dream of Electronic Sheep. It's a sci-fi that in it, what's it called? It was like the predecessor to Blade Runner.

What's that called? It inspired Blade Runner, the movies. And it's really fucking good. I've never been much of a sci-fi reader. And after I read the first 35 pages of that, I went and bought a bunch of sci-fi books because I was like, I'm missing out on quintessential sci-fi. I was like, I need to hear some... Yeah, I need to read some sci-fi, man. You know what's funny? I'm always like, I don't fuck with...

Sci-fi, but as a kid, I was such a nerd-ass motherfucker. But as an adult, I can't really get into sci-fi. But I'm talking about dystopian, utopian, future sci-fi. I don't want to read The Lord of the Rings or bullshit like that. I don't consider that sci-fi. Absolutely not. That is like freak shit.

I did watch All the Lord of the Rings. I was forced to watch All the Lord of the Rings. I'm kind of serving that one elf. You know exactly which one I'm talking about. The guy who like Orlando Bloom. You know what I'm talking about. Girl, what are you saying? Do you know what I'm talking about? I have no idea what you're talking about. Kai, you want to come over here and sit on my lap? So bad. Okay. My media of the week is You Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack by Viper. That song is so good. It literally... Oh, you came around. What do you mean I came around? I knew about Viper in fucking high school, girl. Because of Cyrus.

Shout out Cyrus. Okay. No, literally Cyrus. Actually, Cyrus is one of the first people who like was showing me like what was considered really cutty back then. But I feel like everyone kind of knows about Viper. But Dante brought that song up again because it literally reminds me of hanging out with Dante and Cyrus and being like,

The losers who thought we were like too cool for anything in high school. Out of Space by the Prodigy. The Dress by Dijon. Talk Down by Dijon. I've listened to that song so many times today, like maybe like seven times. And then Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. So fucking good. And I am going to start The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. If you were wondering where my head's at.

I'm thinking about trying to read Infinite Jest again. Me and Josh are going to try to book club it. I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy that book. I don't think I'll ever get through it. And I want to so bad, but I think it's just too...

over my head I can't I can't I can't Josh is a fucking bookworm he reads the shit out of books like he finishes a book like in three days it's like insane like I mean like big books like I'm sure he's gonna finish Infinite Jest in like a week and a half I'm really bad with um finishing books like I start them and then I start a new one and then I start a new one and then I have like fucking five unfinished ones oh um fuck I was gonna say something I literally forgot like yeah I forgot doesn't matter though
