Shownotes Transcript

Hello guys, welcome back to another episode. I'm Taylor. I'm Sam. We are virtual, so before you guys come at us for audio sucking, just get over it. I don't know. Yeah, like, this does not happen very often, okay? So... And we would just rather put out an episode because in case you didn't know, we have literally never skipped a week. That's our biggest flex. And it's not starting now, so if that means we literally just come on here and say hi to, like,

over Zoom in two different states and we have to make it work, then we have to make it work because...

we're literally not skipping a week and that's just what it is i know and i'm gonna throw taylor under the bus real quick but right before we were gonna leave guys she literally was like i don't know like i've just heard so many of the pockets i've been listening to this week that like they're not doing this week i'm like taylor we've literally never missed we literally say that all the time on the podcast and they would come at us i'm just saying like the only reason like we don't miss is because of like the pride and the ego thing because like

realistically it's like we shouldn't podcast this week like it was just christmas yesterday like we're literally like different schedules different plans like every other podcast on the face of the earth is like taking a week off but like it's a pride thing but yeah it's a pride thing like it's it's an ego thing it's kind of like the same thing like i said a few weeks ago if i've never vaped same same pride thing thing yeah 100 i have a few things i can't name them off the top of my head but i have a few things like that oh that was like literally why i got straight a's in school

Yeah. And I feel like coming up, also the book thing is going to be a pride thing for you. 100%. But I don't know if I'm going to do another book goal. No? I mean, you've done it once. There's no point to do it again. Just because it's... I feel like I would still read a lot of books and...

I, it makes me finish books that I don't want to finish because I'm like, oh, but I'm halfway through and I have to finish because I can be like counted as a book. But like, I hate the book and I'm like, I don't want to finish reading books just to finish them. But anyways, that brings me to my one thing about me was just going to be an update on my reading goal. I'm 20% through my 50th book and I literally have like a week to read it. So I'm like, not even stressed. Y'all like, I did it. Like, I'm going to finish this book like one of these days and I did it.

There you go. Yeah, wait. There's 31 days in December, right? Not 30, yeah. So we have like five days. I didn't really write anything down just because I feel like everything I want to say is literally... Like one thing about me is something that I'm going to say about... Something. This week. Yeah, I know. But my one thing about me is I literally hate traveling. I hate it. I thought for the longest time I love traveling. I love doing it. The whole process, no. And I don't know if it's because...

I'm traveling with Mac this time around and I missed my flight. But...

It's miserable, and I don't like it. And everyone's not ripping me apart, but just saying I'm a Karen for not letting people pet Mac at the airport. But I'm like, guys, I don't think you understand how stressful it is to travel with an animal. I already get stressed out as is because I like being on time. Like, I'm so A1 with a lot of things, and traveling obviously is one of those. And traveling with a dog. I'm literally in the airport with a coffee in one hand, purse in one, backpack on, his leash in one hand, his carrier in another, my suitcase being pushed. I'm like...

I'm fucking stressed, okay? Also, Mac is the type of dog, like, if he gets pet, like, he's going to get, like, really excited and, like, want to stay with you. Like, it's going to be, like, he's not just going to, like, forget about it and keep walking. He's going to want to, like, stay and get pet and, like, have a whole day. And the airport during the holidays is so busy, so I'm weaving in and out of people. Imagine people, like, stopping me and being like, can I pet your dog? I'm like, no. Do you want my dog to get trampled on in this massive, like, airport? No, I don't.

But the only time I really didn't say no to anyone petting Mac was if I was sitting down at the gate and I was already chill. But if I'm literally going through security or I'm barefoot standing at security and someone comes up to me and is like, can I pet your dog? I'm like, no, you can't. Yeah. You should get him a little do not pet harness. I know I really should. When I'm traveling, I really should. Yeah. Or another thing too is like,

When I go to the grocery store, sometimes I bring him with me because there's a grocery store in our neighborhood. So if I'm on a walk and I need to run into the grocery store, I bring him with me. And if I go into the grocery store, my hands are full again and people will stop me. And I'm like, I'm just trying to get in and out of here. People like I get he's freaking cute and all, but I don't know. You don't need to pet him. Yeah, I see how that could be very frustrating. I don't think you're a Karen.

I mean, I don't care because I literally said back to one of the comments, I was like, that's exactly what I'm trying to do is be a Karen. Like, I'm well aware that it's going to upset you. What? I cannot believe you missed your flight. Dude, I know. I was so, I literally got to the airport probably an hour after you. And I'm not even kidding. I've never seen the line for like the check-in so long in my life. I walked directly up to the TSA agent. There was no one there. I had to ask the guy. I was like,

is this checkpoint open? Because there was no one there. He's like, yeah. I was like, okay. And literally, it was so, my gate, my flight was the only gate with people on it. Yeah. I mean, I obviously wouldn't have missed my flight if it wasn't for Mac. But because I was traveling with Mac, I had to stop and go to the check-in counter. And I'm in the check-in counter for 45 minutes and it's not moving, not budging once. And I'm like,

Finally, at that point, I'm like, I'm going to miss my flight. Like, I bet... I had, like, a good... I had, like, two-and-a-half-hour chunk before, but then 45 minutes went by, and I hadn't moved, and I was like, I need to say something. And then I started to realize every single person around me also had a 7 a.m. flight, and we were all missing our flight. So I'm like, okay, if I'm going to miss it, like, I can't make a big deal out of it and, like, beg someone because everyone else is in the same situation as I am. And the reason the line was taking so long is because everyone was missing their flight. So when they got up to the front desk...

Instead of just checking their bag and being easy breezy right at the check-in, they were at the counter for so long because they had to reschedule a new flight. So even when I was like 15, 20 people back in line and I still could have made my flight,

People were up at the counter rescheduling their flight. So it was just this whole mess. And I was literally like, it sucked too because I knew I was going to miss my flight. But I was like, I can't leave. I have to get up to that counter and reschedule my flight or else I'm going to have to pay for a rescheduled flight. In order to get like a free refund on your flight, if you missed it, you have to be at the airport to reschedule it.

Damn, that's so unfortunate. Yeah. And I wasn't, like, I thought I was going to cry and all, but I really didn't. I shed a few tears real quick when I called my boyfriend because I was like, I just need to let this out. But I was expecting it to be worse, but just because I knew everyone else around me also missed their flight, I was like, okay, it's not that big of a deal. It's not our game. Yeah.

I know. Don't get me started, dude. Okay. Do you have a favorite this week? Do you have something positive that you've been really liking? I know. I don't know. Actually, this fucking coffee I've been drinking. I obviously love my espresso coffees, but I've been having cold brews a lot. So Mary Lou's. I fucking love Mary Lou's. I wish Mary Lou's was down in Texas. But peppermint mocha specifically coffee is my favorite this week. Mm.

Mine is a makeup product, which is funny because I actually did a concealer a few weeks ago, but I have another concealer that I really like. So you guys are going to get a new one. The Say Beauty Hydra Beam Brightening Concealer. It says under eye concealer, but I use it like on my acne and stuff because it's non-pore clogging. And I literally just put it on my face and like buff it out with a brush and it just like covers everything and everything.

I'm a big fan. I used to not like it. I don't know why. I just kind of, like, told myself I didn't like it. But it's really good, and it's, like, fine for acne. So I've been really liking that. It's, like, what I wear every day when I'm here. I think I need to start wearing concealer again solely for the reason because I have no color on my face. And I need to, like, add in more, like, color to my face. I need to do my makeup after this because I'm going to the gym, and the gym in Miami is, like, I need to put on a little bit of makeup. Yeah. But I think I'm going to start using contour...

concealer again cool i'm like so pale and i was using self-tanner on my face and it looks so blotchy i just i just shaved my face that's why i was late to the i'm not late to this but like because we didn't really have a time but i was like shaving my face like 20 minutes before this i was like get this peach fuzz off my face that's so funny i um i did shave my face once when i was here i brought my razor i just like shaved my body too because again going to the gym i like need to look decent because i don't know who like i'm gonna see at the gym

And it's like a whole fucking, just a scene. Like if I leave the house to go anywhere, I feel so on edge.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I just did an Orange Theory class and I was like, I'm going to bump into a bunch of people from high school and I really just don't want this to happen because the Orange Theory is literally in my hometown. Luckily, the class I took did not know a single person. Yeah, we have like, there's a little bit of, I feel like, gossip on the internet to discuss. Dude, yes. So the thing is like your video popped off about it too. I know it was, it didn't pop up for like the first two days.

And I have a video like that too. I have a video like that right now. I'm making it. I'm like literally just making a cocktail in the kitchen and like the first day, literally like 10 K views. And then all of a sudden it has like 200 K and I'm like, wait, what? Like all of a sudden, like it has views, but the video we're talking about, you did this Simone Biles thing, which I should have filmed it at dinner. Cause I asked my family at dinner, but I didn't film it, but everyone is,

fucking losing their minds because Simone Biles' husband is, like, a dickwad. Dickwad. We already have seen it. And it's just crazy. Part of me, though, I do feel bad. Like, I can't imagine, like, being, like, at home in your marriage and the whole internet's like, get a divorce. Like, that must suck really bad. Yeah. I mean, the divorce part is definitely, like, that's taking it too far, in my opinion. But I do agree with the whole internet saying that he is...

Like, downplaying the whole thing. And, like, men like him just don't deserve women like her. Like, she's insane. Like, an insane athlete in the fact that he's covering up that, like, he was the catch. Like, yeah, you're in the NFL, but...

What the fuck? Like, you're a nobody. Like, you're a woman. Literally, hype up your... There's hundreds of people in the NFL. Like, only one person is, like, the most, like... She's, like, the most or one of the most, like, decorated Olympians. Like, there's not hundreds of people that do that, but, like, you literally stay your ass on the sideline. I only knew her husband was in the NFL because recently...

Because I feel like everything is talking about who's dating NFL players. I don't know if she's big right now. Taylor and Travis, Alex and Braxton. People dating NFL players is a big topic. So only recently I knew she was dating an NFL player because I've seen pics. But I didn't know who he was. So if you were to ask me who she married to, I'd be like, she's definitely with someone in the NFL.

But that was the extent of my knowledge. And I would have said a team with the color green because I feel like in the pictures they were wearing green. And that's all I could say.

Yeah, so for anyone that, like, didn't see the interview, Simone Biles' husband, still don't know his fucking name, did an interview with a bunch of guys, and basically someone asked, how did you guys meet? And he said he had no idea who she was because he was in college, and he didn't have cable, couldn't watch TV, which is, like, utter bullshit. Because back in the day, not even back in the day, what was this, like, less than 10 years ago? Yeah.

everyone had fucking twitter or instagram or everything like you can't sit here and say you didn't know who she was because social media was still a big thing when she was in the olympics so and i saw another tiktok someone pulled up his old tweets of him tweeting about the olympics yeah but about gabby not about um simone but either way like if you know gabby obviously you know simone but even if he was like i didn't know who she was like honestly like whatever like

Like, not required to know everything about everything. Like, if all he said was, I didn't know who she was, like, and then gassed her up, like, okay, whatever. Weird you didn't know who she was, but, like... Especially if that's his type.

You know what I'm saying? Like, you're married to her now. That's your type. It's just embarrassing for your husband. It's the same energy as when I talked about last week, the guy's vows that are, like, being so stupid. Like, it's so embarrassing for your husband to publicly just humiliate you. This isn't really for me, like, at all, but I did, like, the ins and outs trend right now on TikTok, and one of the things I put in there was out is men making fun of other men because, like,

the male that has a girlfriend is treating her like an angel. I'm done with men that will shit on other men for treating a girl like an angel or like with respect or higher ground because that's the same energy. It's like he's at that interview getting asked and the interview people are literally laughing about it. It's like, why is it so normal nowadays? Or it's always been like that where men are,

treat a woman like an angel and then their friends just make fun of them for it like oh you're such a pussy like what the fuck like you're literally whipped like all this shit i'm over it i hope that um isaac rochelle like isaac rochelle on on the internet seems like the greatest dude but like obviously it's just the internet i don't know the man and i think he's the greatest dude no one's ever said anything bad but i just want to say if the day ever comes that there's like

I was like, Rochelle is the worst. Like, if that, like, comes to air, I'm going to be so fucking upset because he's, like, the only one I'll have in this life. No, I literally, if anything ever happens to that man, I will be so upset. Like, if they get divorced and Allison is like, Isaac is the worst. Like, I'm done. Like, I give up. Yeah. Because, like, he's just so, like, they're so cute and, like, they're a little bit obsessed. Like, I just want to be them. Have you ever dealt with, in your past relationships, of...

Your boyfriend's friends being douchebags about your relationship? Not really, because my first boyfriend didn't really have a lot of... I was going to say, I don't think no one had friend city. And then in high school, almost like everyone was...

in a relationship. So I feel like it wasn't that weird because it was like everyone, like our friend groups were just like dating so it wasn't weird.

yeah my my like last ex it was like if he spent any time with me it was like what the fuck like you're obsessed with like just shitting on him like whatever but obviously with palmer like him and all his friends are so respectful and that's like i feel like that would be such a red flag in my relationship if his friends were like douchebags which all relationships too at your grown age like literally kind of makes sense if you're like

early college or like in high school to be like bro like what but like like 25 years old like that's the energy though that simone's husband is giving and he's like grown-ass man i think like if someone is just like bringing up that your wife is a amazing person and you're like

But what about me? Like, shut up. No one said anything about you. Why would you say that? Like, you have a whole interview about you. Why are you? The one question about your girlfriend. Why are you? And I don't get people that want to date someone and not be like, this is why they're the best ever. Like, don't you want everyone to know that like your girlfriend is like,

beautiful and the best and like awesome and talented and successful like why do you want people to think you're married to someone like beneath you because I've never been the person a lot of this happens a lot of times in celebrities um or at least um when people talk about celebrity relationships about how like they might be jealous like if one's more successful like you know if two celebrities are dating and one of them is ultimately more successful it's like

people get jealous and I think it might a lot of the time be the guy being more jealous because the guy wants to be like in charge like or like more he wants to be like the alpha yeah but I've never in my head thought of the fact that I'd be jealous if the person I was dating was more successful than me like all I want is the person that I'm dating to be like the most successful person ever like if we were both actors and they were getting like more jobs than me who fucking cares it's your husband

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, why are you competing with your husband? Yeah, like, and I think... Or your wife. Some people get, like, jealous in their relationships, and I just could never be, like, jealous that, like, my husband was, like, more successful than me because, duh, that's, like, what I want. Like, low-key, I'd be like, oh, you just got a raise? You just got a whatever? I'm like, that's more for me. Yeah, let's go. Like, you're telling me you got a job and I didn't, and I get to stay home and, like, you're doing it?

Yay. I've just never understood that, like, the jealousy thing. But I guess it might be more of a man thing because they just want to be so important and it's, like, newsflash, like, literally not that important. Yeah, right. And if that's such a big deal to them, then don't date that person because you're obviously too insecure. And date a normie. You've got to date a normie. You've got to go find a girl at a random place and date her. Get off Raya and get on fucking Tinder and find a normal girl. Yeah, and that's crazy. That's how they met, Raya. I know.

Razi, I've never heard of a love story from Raya before.

I know. This is actually, like, another thing that I wrote down because I saw this on TikTok. And it kind of goes with this because we're just talking about men. Shit-talking men. I've noticed this a lot with people that I follow on Instagram. But do you ever get uncomfortable when you see a guy friend of yours liking other girls' Instagram photos on Instagram? Or even your Instagram posts? Like, if I'm scrolling on my Instagram posts and I see a guy...

That's my friend that has a girlfriend, likes my Instagram posts. I'm like, what the fuck? Yes, which is why girls tell their boyfriends not to like other girls' pictures because girls... Oh, they don't notice it. Girls know. Like, if I am posting pictures and your boyfriend's liking them, that's weird. Like, I can't... Listen, I can't believe you brought this up. I get so mad. Like, one of my biggest things...

in a relationship is when a guy doesn't understand. I almost sent my ex-boyfriend a TikTok yesterday because it was so like, I wasn't going to be like, do you see? Like, I'm not fucking crazy. Like, do you see? This is relatable content. Like, but basically the fact that girls know how to communicate with girls and like men don't get it. Men don't get how girls communicate. And the TikTok basically said something like, oh, I wonder if I reposted it because I want to

It was written very well and I don't want to like mess up what it said because I was like, duh, like that is so real. Oh no, I didn't. Shit. Should have sent it to him or I would have. Oh, you didn't send it to him? No, I almost did. And then I didn't. But basically it said something along the lines of like,

how it was a guy talking to the other guy. It was like, bro, like when she says something about a girl, like being mean or like giving her an attitude, something like trust her, like girls like communicate with each other in a different way that you might not see. And just because a girl wasn't directly to her face being like, you stupid bitch, like doesn't mean she wasn't being mean to like girls. No, or not even being mean, but like wants you or like doesn't respect you like girls. No. And like get a vibe from girls and we know, and we're not,

We're not dumb. Like we know how girls think we know how girls communicate. So like when you're doing shit like that, like for other girls, like we just know like they're talking shit behind the scenes. And like, if you see them in real life, like then it's like, you can tell by girls like body language, like, like the incident we had with the girl.

This past weekend? No, not this past weekend. At our friend's birthday pregame, a girl came up and, like, mentioned your boyfriend in just a weird way. Oh, yeah. That was fucking weird. Can we talk about that for a minute? And she didn't say anything wrong. Like, you know, and maybe if a man saw, like, she didn't say anything wrong. Yeah, let's do a story time on that. Yeah, okay. So this girl... What would you think... I'm actually...

It doesn't even really need backstory. If a girl came up to you in this crowded room of people and just like all giggly walked up to you and asked where your boyfriend is like, oh my God, like, where's your boyfriend? Like, that's so weird. Well, okay. This wasn't the first time though, because we were at dinner. I bumped into her at dinner, literally like two hours before.

before the pregame because she was at a birthday dinner and I was with my boyfriend at dinner and I bumped into her when I was going to the bathroom and I was like, oh my God, I'll see you later at the pregame. She's like, oh my God, are you with Nick? And I'm like, yeah. And I pointed at him over there and I pointed and I go, he's over there. And then I left the dinner because his family was in town and I went over to the party that she was going to. And then when we got to the party again, she comes up to me and goes, where is he? I was like,

what the fuck is this energy like we're not friends like weird energy weird energy weird weird weird and it's just like girls know and like there's girl communication like

And there's a new girl scene that perfectly like they have it in there. Like the girls are like, oh, she's such a bitch. And they're like, and the guy's like, what'd she say? And like, they just said what she said, but it like wasn't anything super mean. But the girls are like, no way she said that. And the guys like, don't get it. They're like, wait, what? But they're like, it's girl stuff. Like you wouldn't understand. I'm like, yeah, like girls have their own language and feelings. And if you are liking some girls Instagram pictures, that makes us look bad.

like idiots. And the sad part is, is no one goes right after the dude. They're just going to be like, she's so stupid. Yeah. He's so stupid. Oh my God. Liking my pictures. Not like, Oh, her boyfriend's an asshole. It's like, she's so dumb. Yeah. That's like, so the one guy friend that we were talking about last week on here, that,

is literally seeing, like, two girls at once, is also all over on my fucking Instagram liking other girls' Instagram. Like, I can be scrolling on my feed, and if it's a picture of a girl, he's liked it. I'm like, this is just so twisted. No, it's, like, actually disgusting. I can, like, that's one thing I won't put up with. Yeah. Like, liking girls' pictures, no.

No, yeah, I mean, I don't care as long as it's like not a bikini photo or like a thirst trap type photo or solo type photo. But if it's like any of our friends, I don't obviously give a fuck. It's like group photos or like photo dumps. I don't give a fuck. But if it's like I said, anything solo or naked.

um, that's a problem. I think- And he's listening to this right now, so take fucking notes. I think if it's not, like, one of our good- like, your good friend, like, someone you see frequently, like, if it's not a good friend of yours, like, not like, oh, I know her, and it's, like, someone from high school, like, one time. Like, someone you see, and it's, like, not- and it's, like, a group photo or something very wholesome. They graduated. It's their mom's birthday, you know? Something-

Something freaking wholesome, like your friend is like, Merry Christmas, throw a like. But like your friend is just like in a dress and heels, post a picture. You don't need to like it. Which, speaking of social media, I saw this thing and it's called the grocery store rule. Have you heard of it? Yeah, except I related to the comments that it would not work on me because I would, my list would be like this big. Yeah, so, well, yeah, yeah.

I guess, yeah. Well, for some people, this will work. For me, this would work. If you were in a grocery store getting your groceries and you bumped into somebody, if you weren't to say hi to them, why are you following them on social media? And if you were to say hi to them at the grocery store, then, yeah, follow them on social media. So...

starting on the new year, I'm literally going through my following lists. And if I see someone on my list and I'm not going to say hi to them at the grocery store if I saw them, I'm unfollowing them. My rule used to be if I haven't talked to you within the last 365 days, I'm unfollowing you. But then that's just like not fair because there's some people that I'm like, I justify that for. But I think the grocery store rule I really like. I don't follow like a ton of people that I know like

in real life like I don't have like 100 like the only people that's different I'm saying like people that you grew up around or have met I don't follow anyone like yeah like social media like influencers content creators like I follow a bunch of those people but that's because I enjoy their content and like their content but if I were to see them in public and I don't know them I'd still try to go up them like oh my god I I know you I follow your content like I like you yeah I just only follow like

besides social media content creators, I only follow people. I don't follow that many people that are real people that I know. I don't follow because this is like... I mute a lot of people, which is a problem. I have people muted, but I don't follow people from high school on Instagram. I don't follow people from my hometown on Instagram because when I started my fitness page, I didn't have any of those people followed.

Yeah. So going into the new year, I'm going to do the grocery store rule. I like that rule, especially like for people that aren't like influencers and they're mainly following like 2000 people that are followers from like when they made Instagram in elementary school till now. I need my boyfriend to do it. He follows like 2000 people.

Yeah. I'm like, why are you following that many people? You know, one of our girlfriends actually did it when we were driving back from Dallas. We were just like, we had this conversation and I was like, yeah, I don't follow that many people. And she literally followed like 2000 people and throughout the entire car ride, she was just following so many people. I'm like, see, isn't it like so refreshing? She's like scrolling. She's like, I don't even know if I've ever met half these people. I'm like, exactly. Like,

It feels good just refreshing a new start to the year. Like, might as well fucking do it. Yeah, you just don't need to keep up with a million other people's lives. Yeah. Hey, guys. As you know, as you can tell from us rambling on in our podcast, we're on the go and need satisfying snacks that can give us a good source of protein. And, of course, we need the protein to keep those gains going. And if you're on the lookout for a snack that satisfies those cravings and gets that protein in, let me introduce you to Wonderful Pistachios.

I mean, you probably already had them because they're so good. And if you haven't, you're missing out. Their little green wonder packs a serious protein punch and they taste amazing. So get this. Every one ounce serving of wonderful pistachios, you get a whopping six grams of protein, which covers over 10% of your daily value. Talk about a protein at Powerhouse. These pistachios are hands down the MVPs of the nut world when it comes to protein content. They truly raise the bar.

But they're not just about protein. The incredible combination of fiber, protein, and unsaturated fat may help keep you full longer. It's like having a snack that's got your back throughout the day. And they have so many flavors and sizes. You can get the big packs to share or they have small packs

Visit wonderfulpistachios.com to learn more. And I even did it because I have another Instagram that's like my one that I grew up using. And it's all the high school people, college people. And I went back onto that too. And I've seen people post stuff

um and I'm like wait who is that so I just unfollow yeah I don't follow like anyone from my hometown which is like it's something not that I regret not really having friends from here anymore like sometimes I wish I did but at the same time it's like I don't like being around people that don't make me feel good about myself so it's like why but like part of me still kind of wishes that's me with college more though

Like, my college. But that was also because I was, like, down bad in college. Because when I went to therapy in college and uncovered that, like, all of my major trust problems and, like, why I literally, like, don't, like, trust anyone or like to get close to people is because of how people fucking treated me in high school. Like, I was like, okay, I don't want to be around these people. And, like, it is what it is. And, like, so much...

um, just, like, shit talk, which I know that's what high school is, but, like, you know when you have close friends, and they're, like, so-and-so said this about you, and then you're, like, wait, why did they feel comfortable telling you that? Yeah. Like, like, why'd they tell you that? Like, we're best friends. Like, why would they tell you that? I can't even imagine doing stuff like that at this age. Yeah, we're young, so, like, I don't know, but whatever. Yeah. I have literally one friend from my hometown, and it's, like, that's fine.

Yeah, none of my friends. Which we can get into our weekend recap if you want to start to get into that. Do you have any other hot gossip? Yeah, I don't really have any other hot gossip because, I don't know, it's just Christmas. Holly jolly. Yeah. So I was obviously supposed to get back on Tuesday, but...

And I did not, they didn't have another flight for me to go one, like, direct flight with Mac. I cannot do a layover with him. That would be miserable. He would probably shit his pants in the fucking carrier. So I didn't have a flight until Thursday. So I was just home chilling. Honestly, it was nice. I got a shit ton of work done and didn't get home till Thursday. I got home on Tuesday morning. My flight was at 5, which I think all of my holiday flights, I'm always going to do the 5 a.m. Because, like I said, the airport was...

empty so I'm like I'm gonna suck it up and do the 5 a.m flight because the flight was so easy I flew through the most gorgeous sunrise literally ever like I was just flying through pink clouds like the clouds it was beautiful like I was literally sitting there like beautiful and I think the lady next to me on the flight was really nervous about the flight and

because we were taking off and she was um sitting there like with her hands on her chest like and her eyes closed like breathing like in and out and like i think she knew the guy next to her if not they were just like strangers that love to um make small talk with people but i think they knew each other um but literally i wanted so badly to have her like are you okay like are you good because it was such a smooth easy flight and like taking off she was like really really nervous and i was like look been there girl but like i'm like are you okay like

Like, look, it's so pretty. Like, yeah. But yeah, she seemed really nervous. My flight was so easy. And then I got back. I've gone to the gym. I'm going to the gym today. Gone to the gym twice. Didn't at home workout with my sister. And then one day went for a walk. So I've done really like three workouts since I've been here. Pretty good. Not bad. I refuse to give my home gym any type of money or like.

like anything. I just can't stand the people that work there slash the people that are there. So I was like, I'm not going to the gym there. There I, the gym in my, um, like my hometown gym, it is so good. Like I have never been to a gym with better equipment. It's massive. It has all the equipment under the fucking sun. It's ridiculous how much equipment like this gym has. The only thing about the gym is nothing is in the right spot and they don't really have wipes. Like they have random containers of Clorox wipes. Like

in random places around the gym, but there's not, like, wipes on the walls. She has to, like, go searching for, like, a container of Clorox wipes. So sometimes I just say, fuck it, because I'm not going on a fucking scavenger hunt for a Clorox wipe. Yeah, and, like, by the time you were to find a Clorox wipe, someone probably took the machine. Literally, like, um, so it is a mess and nothing's in the right spot, but that's Miami and, like, we can't complain. But they have really, really fucking good equipment. And, like,

I did not see anyone bad that I know so far. I'm going at a different time today than I've been going. And I feel like maybe in the afternoon I might see people because it's like break and they're not going to go like at like 9 a.m. If it's break, they're not going to wake up and go. But I did see like Steffi Cohen. And like I saw her and we were talking for a little bit. She was like, let me know if you ever want to get in a workout. Like I'm around. I'm like, okay.

a workout with you like I haven't been fucking lifting you want to get in a workout I'm like I'm gonna be like I can't do that I'm like yeah yeah yeah I'll text you I'm like I'm I could not work out with you like you're over here dead lifting like 300 pounds for reps on like your off season like I haven't touched a barbell in months ma'am yeah I'm like that would be pathetic but I was like yeah sure

One of these days, one of these days I'll hit you up. But I haven't seen anyone I know, but get this. So I've been doing anything interesting. I'm just hanging out with my family and the children. We go get food for Christmas Eve and I have a gut feeling because we go to Aldi. Aldi, by the way, amazing grocery store. And we're right next to a restaurant that my ex-boyfriend used to always go to. So I'm like, I'm like, I have a

I have an inkling. I was like, I have a gut feeling. I was like, God damn it. Like, I realize they're in the same shopping center. Whenever we walk out, walking right in front of us is his little brother. And I was like...

But like, I don't think he saw me. And then at the same time I asked my mom, do you know who that is? My sister turned around and was like, they look really, really alike. Like they walk the same. They like, they look very similar. So my sister was like, was that, she thought it was my ex-boyfriend. I was like, no, it was his little brother. And then he literally parked in my ex-boyfriend's car, like was driving his car, like one car over from us. But like, I don't think he saw me, but I really hope he did. And like, talked about me. I hope he was like, do you know who I saw in the parking lot? But I don't think he saw me.

Yeah. But I was literally I had a gut feeling. I was like, bro, I was like, I'm gonna see them like something. I was 100 percent like the shopping centers close to their house. I was like, 100 percent. I'm going to see them. And what do you fucking know? I was like, I knew it. Yeah. What are the fucking odds? So that was just funny. That's the closest encounter with someone from like that. I didn't want to see that. I saw.

Yeah, I was so tired on Thursday when I got back that I literally just laid on the couch with my brothers and watch TV and whatever all of Thursday and all of Friday. Like I literally did not move. The only downfall now about coming home is that I live like 30 minutes south of the city. All of my friends live in the city now. Like no one lives at their family homes anymore. So when I come home, like if I want to go hang out with my friends, I need to get all the way into the city.

And it's just a lot. And I was just like, you know what? All the way until after the holidays, I'll just hang out with my family and then

The next few days moving forward, I'm going to go hang out with all my friends in the city because it's just like I really didn't want to drink, honestly, like Thursday or Friday because I knew I was going to be drinking during the holidays. So that for me would have meant I would have been drinking every single day for a week. And I don't want to do that because my boyfriend comes into town tonight and

So, like, we're going to be drinking at dinner and then, like, we're going into Boston for three days. I'm going to be drinking every day in Boston. Like, I needed to chill. So I have been laying fucking low. I've been doing nothing. And I'm okay with it. My small town, like, I love that my parents still live here. But honestly, like, I've been just doing a lot of reflecting this week of...

I just don't feel the need to stay in my like childhood home when I come home. If I come home for the holidays, I think I'm going to do like a whole week in the city, like Airbnb for a week and just stay in the city. Cause like I'm going kind of crazy during the days of like not really being able to do much. And there's not much in my city in terms of like workout wise and like food wise. So like if I can stay in the city and use class pass and like do a bunch of workout classes and then like also be able to hang out with my friends, then,

That would be great. So next year, if I come home, I'm going to just stay in the city and not my family home. That would be it would be really fun if I was like in downtown right now. Same thing. Like the workout classes are there. Like the nice restaurants are there. Even not even nice restaurants, but like the cool smoothie places and the coffee shops like those are all.

downtown which would be like really fun to be staying downtown but my whole family is staying in this house it's definitely very chaotic because there's a lot of children and it's very loud

And the only thing for me staying here too is I'm very unmotivated to do anything. Oh, I don't do anything when I come home. And I don't like it. Like, you know how I am. I like doing things 24 fucking 7. My ADHD is out of control. But for some odd reason, I just can't get myself to do anything. And it drives me insane in my fucking brain. I'm like, ah, I can't do anything when I'm home either. And I told my parents, my body reverts. I revert to like my high school self because it's like, I just feel like I'm

like that age living here. Like I just, like I come home and I'm like in that like version of myself. Like, I don't know. I just feel like a kid. Like I feel like a kid with like no responsibility. But when I was first here, I did have work and I was pretty busy with work. So I did have to like work from home, which made me feel a little bit less

productive because I got in on Tuesday and like Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I had work so yeah I couldn't be like totally being a piece of crap because I definitely had a lot of work to do um in the days I went to the gym I was like literally thank god um and I mean like yesterday I was lazy but it was Christmas so like what can you do but like I definitely don't do a lot when I'm home either and I wish I did more I went to dinner with my friend like my hometown friend

And then she's on a cruise. And I think when she comes back, we're going to hang out again and like go into the city. She was like, if you want, we can go like to Brickell and do something. And I'm like, yeah, like I want to do that because I love Miami and like going out there to like those places. And then she said she got invited on a boat. And she's like, I have no idea who any of the people are that are going on this boat if you want to come. She was like, show me the group chat. It's like her and her boyfriend and like a million numbers that she doesn't have. And I was like, where is it? Like when? With who? She was like, I literally have no idea. And I was like,

Okay, great. I was like, maybe. I was like, depending on the day, let me know how I'd go on a boat. I'm going to the beach tomorrow. Thank God. Thank God. I tried running fucking outside one day and it feels like 25 degrees. I was like, oh, this is miserable. I don't know how people do it. That is miserable. It was cold when I first got here and now it's back to being kind of hot as shit. Like when I worked with my sister in the backyard, it was hot as hell.

It was so hot. And it's been, like, kind of rainy and kind of gross. Did you get anything good for Christmas? Yeah. So, I got the shark styler. Yes, my fave. Which I knew I was going to get because I literally ordered it. Like, my mom was like, what do you want? And I ordered it off her phone. So, I, like, knew I was going to get that. And then I kept opening other presents. I was like, literally, why do I have other things? Like, I didn't. Like, I just kept getting handed presents. And I was like, what the fuck? Started opening presents at 7 in the morning because children. Yeah.

Yeah, I was at 10am. It was a very early morning. And then my grandma, so cute. Like this is honestly like my favorite thing I got because it's just like, I'm obsessed. She got me this customized blanket that has like a girl that like looks like me and it says so many books, so little time and then it has my name on it and it's like a girl reading. Yeah.

You have to only ever read your book in that blanket. It's so cute. Like, and it's so soft. I was like, oh my God. That is so cute. It's like so cute. I was like, oh my God, I'm obsessed. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. And then my mom like got us these little like watercolor paintings to hang up in our house that like one's the state of Florida and one's the state of Massachusetts.

Finally, wall art. And she was... Yeah, good thing we move out in like five months. I know. I'm like, that's great. And then what else did I get? Oh, a travel jewelry organizer. 10 out of 10. Needed that. Needed that desperately. There's... Oh, a Skims shirt. Love Skims. I got my mom Skims pajamas for Christmas. Nice. Yeah. I went to the...

skims pop up in austin because i i obviously was traveling home on tuesday and i was gonna do my shopping for my family like when i got back into massachusetts but because i had lost three days i was like fuck now i need to do it here in austin so i ran over to the um skim shop and got my mom some skims pajamas um but what i got for christmas um

I got a jewelry box. And I got three pieces of jewelry from Gorgana, Georgiana. I got two bracelets. One gold, one silver one. And then this...

gold and diamond necklace from... Is it Gorgona or Georgiana? I don't fucking know. I always say Georgiana. Yeah, whatever it is. And then I got a tote bag from Amazon. It's in my storefront. I just sent it to my mom. I was like, give me this one. I like this one. Because I needed a wintertime coffee shop bag. So I got that little tote bag. And then...

My grandmother got me a Crock-Pot, which got shipped to the house, and I'm so excited to use that. I'm going to make a nice Crock-Pot meal when I get home. And then that was it because my family's taking us to Disney for Easter. Oh, my God. Yeah, I'm crashing. Is Disney and Universal the same thing? No. Okay, never mind. We're going to Universal. Okay, I'm crashing. I am going the last weekend of March to...

I cannot remember the last time I've gone to Universal. I think I was when I was, like, seven years old. If you were going to Disney, I need to go to Disney. I'm, like, itching for a Disney trip, but that's, like, literally I want a boyfriend so I can go to Disney with him. Yeah, well, so I'm, every year, because my mom's a teacher, so she gets, like, April school vacation off. So every year, my family will go down to Florida in April and

To visit my grandmother who lives down there. And so I'm literally going to Disney. And then a week and a half later, going back over to Florida to go to my grandmother's for another week. So I'm going to be getting my tan on around like March, April time. I'm so excited. But we got to schedule a like actual girls vacation in February, I think. Again, because we went, no, we went, no, yeah, we went end of February. End of February 1st.

Yeah. I have clinics first week of March. All my family's coming to Austin. Oh, sick. The girls, like my mom, my grandma, my sisters. Lovely. Yeah, but they're staying in an Airbnb. We're going to try to get an Airbnb in our neighborhood. Oh, fun. That way it's, like, close. Love that. But yeah, I haven't really done much anything other than that.

I got fucking hammered on Christmas Eve. I know. I commented on the way that your Snapchat story was. And it was like, add me on Snapchat, bitches. I commented. I was like, someone's litty. I was like, is the gritty coming out? The gritty did not come out. But no, my dad. So my family bought me red wine because they know I like red wine. But I mean, we always keep

red wine in the house anyway but they specifically asked me like which one i liked and i was like honestly i really don't care so they bought like a few different bottles and then my dad was like i dare you to finish that because i started drinking at like two and i was like well i'm not gonna finish it i know i'm not gonna finish it i don't want to finish it because then i'm gonna be disappointed in myself over the fact that i was able to finish a whole bottle of wine by myself so a whole bottle of wine by yourself is not that much yeah i guess i don't know i've never got this but um

I was also mixing in, like, shots in an espresso martini. And one of... So, like I said last episode, when we have Christmas Eve at my house, it's my family, but it's also friends of my family that don't celebrate Christmas because they just need, like, a place to come to. So they come to my house. So there's, like, fucking 50 people coming in and out of my house all day. So one of our family friends brought these pudding jello shots. And they were literally...

Well, not Jell-O shots, but think of a Jell-O shot, but as pudding. And you get these little spoons and you scoop out the pudding and they're strong. They were really strong. And I want to remake them so badly, but I'm not gonna be able to do it probably till next year for the holidays because we're obviously doing dry January. So it's like, oh, actually I could do it for New Year's Eve. You could do it for New Year's Eve. I could do it for New Year's Eve. Fuck. Maybe I will. But they were so good. There was a Kahlua one. There was a peppermint one, an eggnog one.

and a sugar cookie one and they were amazing but I got so like so drunk that I by the time dinner came around I was like fuck Sam you need to sober up like stop drinking all this wine so I stopped drinking and went to bed pretty early and then did not drink on Christmas I made a sangria that was so good delish made that Christmas Eve and Christmas there's still some left but I haven't been getting like I've had like two drinks I went to dinner on Saturday I had like two drinks at dinner

that were kind of strong, but like, we're off kind of fast. And then like at Christmas Eve, just like two drinks. Like I was never drunk or anything. Yeah. I'm just nervous about the whole casual drinking thing and my, well, we're doing it by January. So maybe this doesn't really matter, but I'm just thinking to myself, I never want my tolerance of alcohol to go up. I like being a lightweight. And if I keep doing these like casual drinks every other night, my tolerance is going to go up and it's going to become more expensive to get a little buzz. Yeah.

Literally. I don't want that to happen. Yeah, no, never. I don't know. It's been a very definitely chill drinking weekend, which was like the bright side of not having a bunch of friends in Miami. Because I mean, I'm in Miami. If I wanted to, I could do crazy things like every day. I changed my hinge location to here just to see what would happen. I woke up to 41 likes.

like I changed it at night I woke up I had 41 likes and not to mention the night when I changed it I got like maybe 15 or something and then I like basically x'd all of them woke up I had 41 likes two of them were people that went to my high school because that's kind of I kind of wanted to see I was like oh if I get this I was like I wonder who I'm gonna see on here like I wonder whatever yeah come across anyone I know but two people were people that went to my high school and I'm like I wonder because they didn't write anything I'm like do they do

like, recognize that I went to high school with them, because one of them was older than me, one of them was a senior when I was a freshman, so, like, I was like, bro, literally not this fucking dude, and, like, there's another guy that I just recognized his face, I was like, you went to my high school, so weird, um, I'll change it back, but I just thought it was so funny that, like, literally I woke up with 41 fucking likes, I was like, damn, people here are thirsty,

Yeah, that's ballsy of you to go on there. I remember last year I deactivated my hinge because I was nervous. I didn't really understand how hinge works. I was nervous that it was automatically going to change because I was also in Boston now. So I deactivated my couch. I was like, I don't want people to know that I'm on hinge back in my hometown. Yeah, I didn't really care about that aspect. My curiosity of being nosy to see other people beat out my embarrassment. Yeah. Yeah.

Makes sense. And, like, at the end of the day, like, I have, like, Instagram followers. I can be like, that wasn't me. Someone used my pictures. That's so crazy. Someone's catfishing me. Fuck. Someone's literally pretending to be me. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. So crazy. But I have just been trying to occupy myself because the holidays after recent breakups suck so bad. But it's fine because I'm, like...

I have people that are, like, low-key, like, texting random people. I'm like, why are you texting me so much? But I matched with this guy on Hinge. I've never come across a better texter in my life. Like, someone that just, like, random questions and, like, things to say all the time. And I'm like, so interesting to speak to. That's good. And then, of course, the guy from last week's episode that we talked about. But get this. So, like, he's, like, texting me, whatever. I find, because obviously I'm nosy, right? So I'm going to, like...

Look for everything. Learn more about you. I'm going to, like, look for you on every single platform there possibly is. So, like, he was recently in, like, a three-year relationship, too, right? I get it. Like, whatever. And, like, but, like, I look him up on TikTok and his ex-girlfriend's TikTok comes up and, like, she makes so many videos about, like, her breakup and, like, about him. And it's just, like, so funny getting the insight of a girl doing, like, a get ready with me, like, talking about, like, her breakup and, like, all this shit when it's, like... Wait, am I thinking of the right person? From Santa Claus.

How did you fucking find her TikTok? Because I looked up his name and it literally came up because she would tag him in videos. Oh, oh. And she has like 40k on TikTok. So she came up and she's making all these videos about her breakup and it's so weird. It's just so weird, but it's like so much insight into who it is as a person. So she said in her last one that it was like

that thanksgiving was three months so like february no no what so november thanksgiving was their three-month breakup march oh um so like august september september oh yeah so it's just so interesting do you want to get hold up what is your plans with this man

Okay, good. Nothing more than that, right? No, I don't want to date anyone. Good, because he probably doesn't want that either. Yeah, duh. Yeah. But it's just so interesting, like, which probably people could, like, I have the same shit for people to watch. Like, you can get so much insight on a person if their ex-girlfriend is making all these videos about them.

Literally. Oh my god, I have like so much insight on your last relationship. She's making like get ready with me after get ready with me. I can just like see what's up. I'm like, oh, you guys hung out last weekend. She'll literally be like get ready with me to like hang out. Like she'll like she just talks about it like how we do. So was the girl at the bar the ex? No, no, no, no. But the ex was at the pregame. It's giving very much me. It's giving very much. Yeah, it is. Like you guys would be besties.

That's what I'm saying. Wait, Taylor! This is your end to a new friend! This is literally what you wanted! You literally said you were matching on people on Hinge to get to know their friends. Dude, I've been talking to your ex-boyfriend and like... Dude, this is literally, this is exactly what you said you wanted. I've been talking to your ex-boyfriend. He slept over at my house. Do you want to hang out? I think we would get along just well. Fuck him. He didn't do anything wrong. I mean, he kind of did.

you barely i didn't know him but like this is so funny like or i just like randomly like meet her don't even tell her and then i'm just like you know i know who you are dude yeah dude you know you should get just for shits and giggles because i did this once is bumble bff i well i got bumble just to look at bumble like i was just like what are these other dating apps even like look like you're sick bored so like up oh my god worst

Like, it's so bad. Like, the app itself. The flow of it? Yeah, it's just, like, bad. I don't think I've ever done Bumble. And then you can just, like, easily switch to, like, the BFF version. Like, you can just, like... Oh, then, yeah, I guess I have. And I was like, this is so weird. But... You know who I'm excited about Bumble BFFs? Who? Oh, yes! Yes, yes! Our besties, Crazy X! Yeah. Two of our besties, Crazy X. Yeah. Yeah.

And I was going to hang out with her. Thank God I never did. You didn't. She would have been trying to go for my boyfriend. He might have killed you. Yeah, literally. I've actually murdered you. Literally. I think I need to also formally apologize to our friend who has two girlfriends, his ex that also does social media here in Austin.

I need to formally apologize to her. I need to DM her and be like, I just want you to know I apologize. She's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I just, I built up this narrative about you. Wait, you didn't realize that he's bad? I realize he's the bad person, not you.

He put this narrative in my head. But can I give up? I don't think, yes, obviously he's a worse person because like he's a cheater. But I think that just because like he's a bad person and a cheater doesn't mean that she can't be crazy. That's so valid. I think like they can both exist. Yeah. Oh, I do remember this girl. I think I talked to her for a hot minute. Like the day before, the week before SantaCon. Yeah.

they like hung out like there's so much drama and she always posted what i have so much insight into their relationship and he doesn't know that like i can i got it all yeah damn it's out in the open i wonder if he knows that she like posts all that stuff he has to because they still like follow each other and like i and the reason i know for sure it's easy to find is like she's all over his instagram still does he follow her tiktok

Oh, that's a good question. I don't even know if you can see that. Some people keep that private. I keep that private. I feel like he doesn't keep it private. Let me check. I wish you could keep Instagram following lists private. Some people do. You can keep Instagram private. Oh, I guess you can keep your followers private because sometimes it says only so-and-so can see their entire following. His following is open. So I wish I could have... Because I didn't follow my boyfriend for the longest time.

Because I was like paranoid as fuck. Paranoid about what? That they were going to find it? Yeah. When I was trying to keep him on the DL. Wait, what's... I'm trying to see if he follows her. Okay. I didn't know her name. Let's find it. No, he does not follow her on TikTok. Dude. No, people don't think we're crazy. Should I just send him a link to the video?

yeah that's so bad you ever ask me to do something crazy obviously i'm gonna say yeah but i just no i can't because it's my little secret that i have like i have everything and then like so not only is it all the breakup stuff but it's you know you should videos of them being like happy in their relationship like i know everything about this person dude you know you should do is next time just start the conversation of tiktok with him

And then just be like, oh, like, do my videos ever pop up on your free page? And then just like kind of like inch into the conversation. Well, we already talked about social media because he like he's like, I want to post more. Yeah, well, just. Yeah, but that's good. But that's what I need. I need people I don't want to date.

When a boy says he needs to post more on social media, I'm like, no, that's literally for the girls. Stop doing that. If I could give you one piece of advice in your entire life, it's to post less. It's actually de-account your account. How about that? Yeah. Social media is for girls only. Even, it's just nasty. It's, like, gross. But anyways, so, like, social media is an easy topic. So, like, yeah, maybe I'll just, like... Yeah, just be like, did my videos ever pop up on your FYP? Did anybody else's, you know? Yeah.

Dude, we're fucking crazy. Or, but here's the thing. His ex-girlfriend is all over his Instagram. So the fact that I, like, would go to her Instagram is not abnormal. Like, it's all over his feed. So if I'm like, your ex-girlfriend clearly does TikTok, I can see it. Like, it's in every single... She's tagged in every single picture on your feed. Literally. Like, it's not a secret. It's not like I dig TARD. We're literally talking about somebody else's whole entire relationship. Yeah.

on our podcast yeah but it's involving me i know but i'm just like i want to ask curiosity questions i'm like no i should probably keep that to myself because that's their own that's their own personal life it is oh my god we have so many mutuals too like content creators in austin really yo macko what are you doing come here but listen i also by the way if anyone's i don't

I mean nothing like ill of this girl. Like I just don't, I don't know who she is at all. She's pretty. She is pretty and she makes actually really good TikToks. Like she's very good. Damn. Send her on your PR list. Oh my god. Wait. Not me trying to sponsor her for my job. Oh my god, I'd have to go on like Google Meets with her and like talk to her. Dude, that's your end.

Imagine, dude, if someone were to do that to me. We opened a Google Meet to talk about my work and she's like, are you going on dates with my ex-boyfriend? I'm like, who are you talking about? That's such a small world. Crazy. I'm like, no, but I would love to work with you on this campaign. Yeah.

Oh my god, wait, that's actually so... She does make really good TikToks, though. Like, you gotta give credit where credit's due. I can't wait to be in Boston in two days. My boyfriend comes in today or tonight. I have to pick him up. And he finally meets my dad, which is crazy. So crazy. I'm so excited to hear how that goes. But, um...

When we're in Boston in the city, I cannot wait to make so many TikToks. I told him, I was like, I hate to break it to you, but we're going to start doing a couple of TikToks and you're going to like it. And if you don't like it, then that's your own problem. I'm going to have to block you. You're going to have to block me? Yeah, I'm going to have to block you. Like, I'm so down. You know the one where they like bash into you in the streets? Yeah, I'll block you. And it's like baking out. I want to do that one so bad. So I was like, we're doing it. I'll do it.

The thing is, I know for a fact he's just gonna actually body me. Like, he's gonna actually body me and push me to the fucking ground. He's gonna really, like, humble you to the floor. He's gonna be like, he's so abusive. I'm like, y'all, like, chill the fuck out, okay? No, he's gonna, like, body slam you into the ground. Oh, guys, I also just want to make it clear, yesterday was Christmas. Didn't text my ex-boyfriend Merry Christmas and he didn't text me. Good. It took a lot of strength.

My last little thing I want to say is it's really crazy to see the people that maybe didn't necessarily grow up with brothers or just...

Like, in general, because I'm posting Mac and, like, my brothers are, like, horseplaying with Mac and, like, giving him shit and, like, picking him up, smacking him, like, throwing pillows at him. Like, horseplay type shit. And people in my Snapchat are like, oh, my God, this is so sad. This is so mean. You're abusing him. And I'm like, y'all, it's literally horseplay and he fucking loves it. Like...

It just goes to show you either don't own a dog or you don't have brothers. It's either or. And I'm like, dogs, like, obviously some dogs don't like fucking horseplay. They get fucking anxious about it. But like, he loves it. He loves like barking at you and like getting crazy and running around. Like, he likes it. It just, it drives me nuts. I'm like, y'all.

It's horseplay. I promise you I'm the best mom in the world and Mac loves me and loves all my family members, but he'll be okay. He will be okay. And Mac does in fact love being absolutely tackled. Yeah, he loves being tackled and being a fucking crazy man. Being a crazy man. Being home makes me want to get another dog so bad. I like, I'm like, I'm surrounded by three. Got one. Got one.

Yeah, I know, but I'm surrounded by three dogs right now and I love it. Like, I'll be sitting on the couch and I have, like, all three dogs on top of me, like, I love it. But I need to wait until I get a house for the backyard. Yeah, I mean, or just get one. No. I approve. Dude, imagine walking two dogs. That's a lot. It is a lot, but you can do it. No, I need a backyard dog. Just let the dog on the treadmill.

Yeah. No, I tried doing that with Mac. He hated it. He's like, what the fuck is this? He, like, almost fell off because he stopped walking. That's funny. That's very funny. Alright, well, that's about it from me. I got some shit I gotta get done before I head back into the city to pick up my boyfriend. That's about it for me, too. I'm gonna go to the gym. We'll see if I see anyone I know. Hopefully I don't. I'm, like, so shocked that I don't see people I know, honestly. Like, I'm very, very shocked because, like,

So many people go there, but I don't know if they just get lazy over the holidays or what. When I'm here, they don't fucking go. Yeah, I would say laziness. Oh my god, most annoying thing happened to me. Last thing. I'm adjusting a leg extension, but it's a leg extension I haven't used, so I'm kind of just messing with the levers because I don't know what adjusts what because I was just unfamiliar with the machine. So I literally sit on the machine. I may be looking at the machine for 10 fucking seconds and I lift a lever that's not moving it and this guy comes and fixes it for me.

Like, just, like, immediately come. Out of nowhere? Yes! Like, I, like, out of nowhere. Like, I literally got to the machine, like, ten seconds ago. I'm literally just looking at it because I haven't used this, like, extension before. Like, I've been to a fucking gym. I just need a second to see, like, what we do. That's annoying. But, like, I'm not Einstein. Like, I don't know how to use everything. Mansplaining. Like, just walked over and, like, fixed it. And I was like...

Like, didn't even say it. Just walked over and fixed it. And I was like, like, I literally would have done that. Like, I just needed, like, five seconds to look at this machine because I've never used it. Like, I would have done that. I'm not dumb. It was just so weird and, like, invasive. I was like, why are you, like, I don't know. I was like, yeah. Oh, wait. Also, one last thing for me, too. I wanted to explain, or not explain, but get my review on Orange Theory because I went today. Oh, yeah. Did you like it? I've been once. No, I hated it.

I don't like the rower. I didn't like it because I don't know if it was just the instructor or just the overall layout of the classes, but there's way too much time just sitting around. And I was trying so fucking hard to get my heart rate up and I couldn't.

Like, I don't know if it was just the exercises we were doing or what, but I literally, for the life of me, could not get my heart rate up. And I was like, bro, like, this is just too easy for me. Like, I need to do berries where I'm fucking sprinting, like, going out of control. Like, I don't know. Especially the dumbbell part. It was so easy. I was like, bro, I'm not even breaking a sweat with this. When I went, it was...

There definitely wasn't downtime, but I didn't think it was really. I had way too much downtime. It was more when I started working out. So maybe like I'd have to take it at this stage and like see what I thought. But like we I started on the treadmill and I kind of like ran the whole time. And then it was like rower and like it was a row, a few whatever meters it was and then get up and do like something else. And then the weights were kind of like like there was I don't think there was rest period. You just like keep going.

Yeah, she was, like, kind of telling us all what to do, especially during the waits, because there's no timer for anything. So it's just, like, you're listening to her, kind of similar to Barry's, but she's explaining everything to do to three different groups. So, like, as she's going through explaining, like, I'm also waiting for her to come back around and explain to us. So I'm, like, sitting there. I'm like, can you just tell me what to do so I can start doing it? But three groups is too many. Yeah. Because two Barry's is chaotic. Yeah. Yeah.

And then also, I don't know if it was just because I'm in the suburbs at an Orange Theory, but it was just a lot of old people. And I don't know. I like a younger crowd. Yeah, Orange Theory is definitely a mom. Yeah. Mom. It was like a mom and daughter environment. And then a few, like, dads. Yeah.

yeah a lot of moms that like die hard orange theory i don't know it just the the type of people that are in the classes really makes or break the environment inside the room whether it's like high energy low energy like slacking like it really makes or break for me and i don't know i'm gonna stick to my berries yeah i'm happy i tried yeah that's good that you went

Yep, it was free. Good that you went. My last update is that I'm on my period and I have the worst cramps of all time, like 24-7. Same. I was on Christmas. Oh my god, my lower back hurts so bad. My cramps hurt so bad. So then, one, I came into my room to lay in a ball and close my eyes because I was like, oh my god, I'm in so much fucking pain that I ended up taking a two-hour nap on Christmas because I was in so much pain. But my whole family took a nap, so I didn't miss anything. But I was in so much fucking pain with my fucking cramps.

Yeah, I was so down bad. I woke up in the middle of the night at like four in the morning to the worst cramps of my entire life. And I was like, you know what? I have my period because I hadn't got my period yet. So I was like, it's my period. So I ran over to the bathroom, got my period at four in the morning. Cramps were so bad that I had to take like this really, really heavy migraine pill.

medicine and it helped so much with my cramps because like the Advil was not working I was like I need something really fucking strong right now because they are so bad I cannot even get out of bed yeah they were so bad on Christmas and I was like this is just not the Christmas spirit like why do I feel so bad and I was just such in like a this is so unfair like type mood I was like this sucks

My boobs also were like double the size. Me too! Dude, it was insane. Like obviously I have fake tits. So like, I'm like, I'm like, my boobs are already big. And then I'm like getting out of the shower, looking at my boobs. I was like, it looks like I got fucking surgery. And I was like, I was in the shower. I was in the shower. Like, I was like, why is my boob so big? No, like a massive. I was like,

And I kind of liked it. I was like, fuck, should I have gone bigger on my fucking surgery? Damn it. Like, no. My skin is breaking out like crazy. My cramps are so bad. My boobs are huge. Like, this just is... I'm fucking sick of it. Dude, I texted my boyfriend. I was like, dude, my boobs are massive right now. I wish you could see. Like, I literally wish you could see because... No, like, Taylor, I'm not even... Like, so my...

If you visualize, like, my boobs are big, but, like, when they were bigger, it made my waist look so small. Because, like, my boobs, like, it makes my hourglass, like, so much more the bigger my boobs are. But, like, dude, like, when I saw my boobs that big, I was like, this is insane. Like, do I need to go back and get surgery again? Because they are so big. I just love tits.

Yeah, well, I'm excited to go out with my date. Part of me so badly is like, I should go on a hinge date while I'm here. But then I'm like, I like this one guy. The only person I like for my image, literally because he was a Major League Baseball player and I'm literally just a cloud chaser. Like I'm just a cloud chaser. He wasn't even that cute, but he's just like in the MLB. So I was like, I'll give that a like. Just to see.

But I'm like, wait, that'd be so fun to just, like, go on, like, a date. But, like, I just can't do that. Like, I can't leave my house and be like, I'm going on a date. I say do it for the storyline. That's what I... I want to do it for the storyline, too. Do it. We'll see. Maybe... It's been a little bit since I checked. There might be another 50 likes with these thirsty Miami people. Yeah.
