it was beautiful stunning absolutely stunning welcome to another episode of see you next
tuesday where we read the results from last week's episode of but am i wrong and uh share
those results with you we discuss we he we ha we laugh we jump we swim and play we don't swim
we got two not strong swimmers here hey yo we will not be lifeguarding your child's birthday
party no no no not so much but we would have fun though oh we would love to attend yeah
children love us we love children oh yes don't expect us to if somebody falls and like needs cpr
i can do that oh i cannot yeah i think of me as more of the unpaid disney princess you do have
long limbs though so like if somebody's like a little too far you can just snatch them up
and i mean you can't expect no you to swim to save them no no and i also i'm incredibly clumsy
so i do see danger and try and prevent it from happening uh but sometimes i have a hard time
with the words and i just go oh i did that to my mom yesterday when i was trying to be like hey can
you can you move and i like excuse me i was trying to get around and i just went ah and he looked at
me and i was like i forgot the words he goes do you mean to move and i was like yes that's that
i did that a little bit too and he said damn i forgot about the um like history month video
hey here every month is black history month it's fine we'll make it still i i i'm a we need to we
need to make a playlist a private we save all the ones to make yeah because there are so many
funny ones and then there's also a lot of people like recommending our podcast so i think we need
to make response videos so that people can get our vibe so thank you to all the people that have
been recommending our podcast and other other people that are like i need a new podcast there
was one video where numerous people recommended us oh my god thanks everyone that makes me so
happy and i also love that there i will always see an influx of them when um an influencer who
people like didn't know was conservative like gets outed and they're like well what am i gonna listen
to now and everybody's like i know two bitches who you will have zero doubts about you might
think that they're a little too bold and embrace their views like yeah there you go there we go
our listenership did go up 18 from this time last month so thank you guys thank you we're not doing
any promo on our own so it has no and we did have a meeting where they said by the way can you start
doing that again and we said for sure for sure for sure for sure yeah yeah yeah yeah once i get
my cortisol levels to check it it's over for you and also because we talked about doing like promo
stuff on our actual real cameras so it'll be high quality but my battery's stuck in mine and megan's
supposed to help get it out i am but i think it might be easier for me just to go to sammy's
yep sammy's there's another there's a place in arkansas that's also a camera place and it's just
somebody's name in the same manner and i couldn't remember which one was here they they they love a
name like that yes it's where you get everything and i'm like okay but they all have different
names i know the other one's bedford's oh that sounds chicer than sam it does but it's not
they're the same store they look the exact same oh love it love it love it love it um so
once you get your cortisol levels in check and i get this battery out this camera it might need
a new spring so it might need to be uh repaired but also that might mean i just need to get a new
camera uh-huh then we'll be in business yeah so you guys sit tight shit's happening i'm gonna pee
in a jug and we're gonna figure this shit out remind me to show you what it looks like i think
i already know what it looks like i was gonna i'm gonna do a what's in my bag of like what i have to
do because mott's today was like are you gonna do it today because what's that the way that i have
to refrigerate it or put it on ice and i said you should get just like a cooler i'm getting a bucket
with ice yeah like i'm i'm not putting that in my fucking fridge yeah and uh but so she was saying
she was like you know it can be room temperature for she was like i don't want it like i prefer if
you just like kept it cold like didn't let it get warm by any means but she was like but uh
and it's odd because it's warm coming out your body i know that i was like don't you want it to
be at its natural state but no because the science of this is fucking crazy because also what the
fuck do you mean that you're like we want to test your cortisol levels throughout the day
why am i peeing into one big thing aren't they all gonna mix up together oh true i'm so fucking
confused by that and i'm like okay um but uh macho's like are you gonna record at melissa's
tomorrow and i was like no and he's like oh i was wondering if you were gonna do it there and i was
like you thought i was gonna bring my little my little piss seat that i have to put on top of the
toilet that has a funnel that goes into this you thought i was gonna bring that to my friend with
contamination ocds home and then you put it in my refrigerator i was like there's no shot i don't
even want to do that to my own home you think i'm gonna subject her home to that that's insane
like no fucking way but i also he hasn't seen the entire mechanism yet so i think he'd be singing a
different tune um but uh i can't do it until i think i was able to make like a because she was
like she was like i would really recommend getting an appointment to drop them off like to drop it
off the sample um and not just do like a standby because she's like i don't know that you really
want to be sitting in the waiting room with a jar if you're like a handle of your pee
and so i can't do it until i think either monday or tuesday is the day i do it and then i drop it
on off was it howard hughes that would piss in jars i don't know but if that's la culture then
i'm at home baby yeah he used to have like urine bottles by the way that is a mental illness um
and i know that because my home before i was born it used to be a group home and the person who had
the room that i had when i was like a teenage or pre-teen teenager um he is an artist i don't know
if he's with us currently and then he designs movie posters and he also um would piss in jars
and bottles and then my dad would like go up in there and it was just like all that and he told
that like after i moved in and i was like cool oh it was because he had ocd and yeah i was like
it's not paranoid yeah it's like a specific one there's like a sub it's it's kind of like um
with a mania of like a religious obsession or whatever like there's some i don't know what it
is but there's like a it is like a it's a diagnostic criteria like it's a thing that
people do when they're going through something um but uh his were clear mine is orange and mine's
got a it's got a big opening so you put your big urethra right up there the way that it just
occurred to me that i'm like what are the instructions that they give for people with
penises because i'm gonna tell you right now straight men are just gonna want to they're
gonna want to plunge that clunge they're gonna say i see a hole i must stick my dick in there
and piss in there damn that'd be so much more fucking convenient i know do you know you lost
your i lost my girl my shiwi yeah they have two different names i couldn't remember which one you
had i think i've had i think i had the go girl was my second one i think the first one which
i forgot we even used on beauty break was the shiwi nice that would make it so much fucking
easier also because melissa it's for my first pee of the day it can't be my first pee i have to like
pee a little yeah you gotta get a little bit out because that's that that pee is is strong
but i feel like don't you like pee throughout the night no oh i'm a i pee about three or four
times a night if it's a good a good day if i don't pee at all at night i don't know what i like
if i have to physically get up to pee in the middle like i will be i'm mad because it takes
me so fucking long to fall asleep yeah that would ruin it um if i keep my eyes closed so what i did
was i got um motion lights in my bathroom and so it it still stays low but enough where i can see
through um and then i just i kind of just like close my eyes and then try to go back but um it's
gotten better i used to like just be up but now i can just sleep but i do pee all my life i've had
to pee a lot when i go to sleep i pee a ton before i go to bed and i pee so much i still do i pee
before i go to sleep i just my bladder just doesn't hold a lot just tiny bladder
yeah that's that's a tough one yeah um but i'm i don't know like when i'm peeing in a jar
you like piss a little and then you stick that under there the way that i have an entire seat
that goes on top of my toilet seat and i go so i just i i do a little shimmy and then i stand up
and i slipped that under me i know it is because my grandmother had no was that the first thing
that crossed my mind i said i have seen this and i have seen this at a home when we were cleaning
out my grandmother dad this is not fun but anyway this isn't piss talk this is see next go piss girl
all right so now that piss talk is over with why don't we get into
what we're actually here for and that is reading the results from the last episode of what am i
wrong it is episode 133 i love how many people are now like participating because we're putting
them out a lot closer see their fucking messages yep and we're putting it out closer to the one
the episodes airing too and i think people are also really loving your graphic design skills
yeah yeah and um the person that is always complaining about them didn't complain this
week even though i put a little dedication to them within one of the graphics and i don't
even know if they got it but she does look special it's their icon on monopoly go
oh my god it was for them shout out
um but i got a lot of people saying that they loved it so um i'm never stopping never stop
never stopping too many too many i don't know what's right there i was confused because i
opened our instagram and it's like this is not the kind of reels we usually have on our instagram
where are cooking like you scroll down and then we've got oh yeah i just saw a beautiful
rainbow rice crispy one yes like back to i don't want yeah that's not i don't want people we have
food this is all the content we have there's no faces no there it's food and home home decor
okay don't show me a face no i just see hands that's the most i'll take
so first megan this picture genius thank you so much we're artists yes we are and i i think that
we really have found the calling you should have seen me though that like the faces that i make
when i know i have to google something that like i i know what i want but i need to be very careful
with how i pick my words for the examples they're going to show me do you do it on incognito no
incognito will give you way freakier results i know immediately incognito doesn't have any of
the parental controls i don't have parental controls turned on but i you know i have some
that that form of google has a little bit of decorum it's not going to just show me
finger blasting in the live in the flesh yes so i did have to search up
i said sexual hand gestures because i didn't want to just search shocker and that was smart though
yeah and then because i was like i don't technically want like i want something that's
implying and i literally almost did taylor swift's gay hand gesture two fingers because
in her concert she has this one thing where she like literally does a two-finger thing and
of course the the parts of the internet and the reddits i i exist on we were we had a field day
and i was like i need a name for that and then i just looked up sexual hand gestures and i finally
found one great melissa thinks the spa should only be a place of relaxation two percent said
i was wrong 98 said i was not wrong also i do want to say the fingering wrong ethnicity
beggars can't be fucking choosers do you know how hard it was for me to find a photo
like this that didn't have shutterstock by the way shutterstock who's buying those images from you
right probably um
when uh lena dunham had her website where she was trying to be
zoe de chanel's website zoe de chanel had a website yeah like a blog
huh i think that's whose it was it's one of those hello good giggles oh that's not
i thought it was no yeah it is it is
yeah i thought reese witherspoon bought that hello giggles was is zoe's nationals she still
owns that uh it was acquired by time oh my god damn i didn't know that girl was making money
like that holy shit whoa yeah i love when people keep it quiet like that too
damn
and then
30 million dollars
I forgot what Lena Dunham's was
but she was trying to do the same one
and that would have been somebody
that would have
needed that
oh my god she went to
Oberlin this makes so much sense
yep she had a
podcast that was
the same name too so maybe
looking at the podcast maybe
but i think it all got taken down that's where alicia keys wrote her essay about not wearing
makeup i was listening to her podcast and then like a writing one after that and um this guy
i was sitting next to on the plane saw that i was listening to it and he's like oh i like that
podcast too and then we had a little thing and then i forgot about him and um then i went to
this uh athletic club that it was more like country club athletic club that i was a member
of for a while and he was there and i was he took he taught swim lessons there too
and i had signed up for swim lessons i had signed up for swim lessons and i had got his phone number
because i was supposed to like call him to like finalize stuff and i had the number saved in my
phone and i was like who the hell is this that's why you started saving with emojis as well
plain guy i had no like i literally did not remember him at all and then i went to the
swim lesson and i still couldn't place it shut the fuck up and i was like i like we know each
other somehow and then he told okay he knew i was gonna say this man knew the whole time
no he knew imagine being one of the lucky ones who gets to have that like plain meeting a guy
moment and then quite literally not even recognizing that man later like no that is
so fucking funny it was so flying out of la literally i was flying from arkansas to la
why was he in arkansas he's from there too my god this is your twin
well maybe he took the nutrients in the womb and he was swimming around more you were stuck in the
you were just floating wow that's crazy i know like out of all the people in the world i end up
there and when i try to and that's why i still can't swim because then i was like
i can't embarrass myself in front of this man too by the way i can't have any man teach me how to
swim i don't want any man to teach me how to swim let alone a man that i've had a flirtationship
and he was it was more than a flirtationship and he was very tall no and he's his whole most of his
body's out of the water i don't like that and then i'm there just treading water no that's a
power imbalance if i've ever heard you could drown me still so nice and then he had it yeah i do
think in general people who teach adult swim lessons like have a compassion that i don't have
yeah and he taught the kids lessons too so like he was like wait where is he going back up he had
a girlfriend at that time it's like he made that very clear i was like i don't even remember you
so okay and who are you oops i'm sorry you slept with this man you forgot about it yep i am a
I was very
Foddy in my early
Years of being here
That is you're the exact
Opposite of Tanisha like this dick was
Not memorable yeah it was good
But it was just like I was busy
Diamond bucket yeah
I'm addicted to that I think that's
A humbling experience that I'll mention Av
Wow I love that
I forgot about that
Thank you for sharing that story you're welcome
that was really good that was fantastic oh but we still haven't read the results from this one nope
sure haven't someone said honestly this feels like a string of people who lack self-awareness
so many people just live in their own little world and don't realize that things are not
curated for them i don't understand how out of all places people wouldn't realize that if they're
coming here to a spa for relaxation than maybe other people are too well they weren't really
coming for relaxation they were coming and sometimes that relaxes people yeah i do like a good
stroke and sleep it's a chemical yeah you have that high and then knocked out yeah i but don't
think it's the time and place and you did it at my birthday dinner time and place time and place
and this person continues to say at this point i'm advocating for spas who have private rooms
for almost everything if i'm at a spa and i don't want to see anybody unless it's someone that i
came with or someone i'm receiving a service from and that's how the one in arkansas was it had
all the exact same things but one-on-one until i got to the massage so you got to that one-on-one
yeah that is unfortunate because in theory it is better except when that one person that you're
stuck with is bad and then it's like well now i'm here so i would 100 go back there but like
get another person but i did leave a bad review so i don't know i'd probably have to sign up on
her different name she's an alias sunglasses hello i also don't want this man yeah fair
someone else said melissa what happened to you is insane these people need to be on a watch list
that probably entice them more because they like to be watched they do someone else said i agree
if you want a group activity go to a bathhouse instead yeah they literally could have gone down
the street to the we spot that one is you can talk and chatter it smells like little boys but
you can i think they would enjoy that like yeah someone else said i'm not gonna lie i would have
snitched on these motherfuckers i hold no allegiance to strangers who so obviously
annoyingly disrupt my peace in a place that is supposed to be peaceful depending on my mood i
might have straight been like the fuck are y'all doing in the sauna i'm like i said i'm not a
snitch i'm i'm just so deeply judgmental with my face yeah and i can't hide my facial expression
either and that's the part that i i hope people understand that there was no way that they thought
melissa was like this is fine yeah it's despite the obvious what the fuck are you doing on your
face they said this is what we're doing which is i i don't know i think in theory like oh yeah i
would have told somebody but at that point i would be like i'm sorry my dis my looks of disapproval
aren't enough like i don't think any anyone's gonna be able to stop you by the time i because
like where the people are is in the reception area by the time i would have gotten dressed
and gone back out they would have been done anyway yeah um someone else said woo girls should
also use their powers to be boo girls or at least look ma'ams so we did not consent to your
exhibition that's poetry i love that that is unfortunately by the time the woo girls got there
these sex people were mostly gone but i i love you got to be a woo girl and a boo girl because
like you it's you're at the drag bar offer a bachelorette party screaming and then i expect
you at planned parenthood absolutely trolling and screaming at the moms for liberty like i love that
another person said melissa you should have told someone while you were there this is insane
they probably would have kicked out all those couples and giving you coupons
oh you would have gotten by say say that word again i said coupons i didn't like it i usually
say coupons i was gonna say your pennsylvania just came on out i felt it and then you had to
point it out i did well hey you can't get it past me i i know the pennsylvania accent well girl
then another person said the way this story traumatized me i always thought saunas were
nasty because one of my friends was sexually harassing one and this just proves my point
you'll but happy belated birthday melissa thank you someone else said if you have to have a party
bachelorette loud hangout in a spa you rent the whole place and too bad if you can't afford it
then it's not happening it's not that hard it could be a nice thing for everyone involved if
you make sure everyone in the place is actually involved it's like having a party in a library
or a concert in a silent resort good point that is really good point and also like la is not hurting
for like sexual exhibitionist activities or orgy like there there's a booming community of that
yeah and there are places you can literally go for that uh-huh and places that you can avoid
if you don't want to be there also said if that is a possibility of course if they offer that
service i mean yeah i mean there are other places they could have gone and they would have offered
that yep someone else said this is such a problem at nordic spas too my friend and i have to
strategically pick which day of the week to go that we aren't in saunas and hot tubs hot tubs
with couples up on each other it's so foul what wait i need to know about more nordic spas me too
it's looking like those are big in canada there's one i know there's one here in la yeah uh i sent
you where um marlon wayans was getting spanked at one it wasn't really spanked but he was getting
hit with the herbal things yep well lots of cold pools i don't i do do the ice room when i'm in
between hot stuff but i'm not really into the cold pool unfortunately i can't do either stream
i physically really in the moment hot is no good for me long term i cold is not good for me i do
pick cold because i can't feel what i'm going through i can feel what i'm going through in the
hot yeah someone else said i had a very similar experience i went to walk into the steam room
and there was a couple rubbing each other with salt scrubs and moaning why are you bringing
salt scrubs into the the sauna oh my god what made it worse was the spa literally had signs
everywhere asking the patrons to not bring sexual energy into the spa please keep your sexual energy
out wait i can't believe as of now that is three people who've had personal experience of something
similar happening this is this is too this is too much yep another person said my immediate reaction
to this scenario was what in the fan fiction fan fiction is happening wow someone else said this
graphic at me kathleen all right you're up megan says mama let's research one percent said i was
wrong 99 said i was not wrong literally the first thing that i do when i see drama news or anything
happening that i'm interested in is go and look up to see what the truth is i'm not sure how this
is a lost art i literally google definitions of words before i text them to my best friends i
don't understand how people will comment on things they literally know nothing about with full
confidence yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes i really do love that graphic i made first every
time i swipe by and i see just a screenshot of it as i'm looking for other ones i'm like
it's beautiful what an art what an art then we have writer number one are they wrong for blasting
their music in their car 38 said the writer is wrong 62 said the writer is not wrong someone
said i always think your listeners are like alg people what does that mean all caps alg who wrote
it i'm like algebra all people are i don't know okay well this person says i always think your
listeners are like alg we don't know what that means so we're just going to yeah go with it i
don't know i trust you yeah i trust you alg people and we usually have a long string of not wrongs
then bam someone comes along who's clearly wrong yep uh-huh whatever alg means uh-huh here's the
girl if you told me to jump off a bridge i would do it i wouldn't but in this instance also you
allowed me to send you some of my gross things so you've saved megan and then you sent me some
more too we're both like what is this weird oh yeah by the way everyone so melissa has this habit
of sending me the foulest things that come across her her fucking it's always instagram reels so and
then she's like why do you never answer my dms i go because peppered between the actual things
you're sending me that are valid and like we should go do this this weekend this would be so
fun it is like literally people getting fucking railed no caption but she just sends it to me
because she's like if i saw someone else i had to and then i on my tiktok i get these fucking fanfic
acting out little shorts and i usually will like save them and send them to mods because like
he finds them hilarious one time i literally watched on those 10 minutes long being like
what is like this is crazy this is so insane and one was so crazy from the first five seconds i
sent to melissa and she responds goes oh my god ew why would you send this to me i'm like
are you kidding me after all of this i can't even send you one i feel like the video i sent you
though that you didn't comment on deserves a comment oh which one is it it's the one right
above the last thing we said i'm scared it's not a scary one it's someone i love and then who they're
married to oh no i like this yeah well how was i supposed to know when i saw the cover art see when
i saw the cover art i said she's not gonna click on it so then i was like i'll bring it up the next
time yeah because it looks like there's gonna be sex by the way did you watch the trailer probably
it might have still been yeah but as long as i have to see it i don't care what y'all do in your
own homes don't just do in front of me this is uh simone biles and mr simone biles um trading clothes
and dancing and he's got on he must have the tiniest waist in the world i i was like this
man got thighs yeah he got she also does but um he's gotta have yeah but men in general don't
usually have yeah he's like yeah like thighs like that i'm impressed do you see the trailer for uh
g20 i'm fucking in and i didn't i didn't send you this video hold on no i'm not gonna i'm not
gonna i'm not gonna make it so you visibly watch it but i could have sent you this and i didn't
three tips to get your butthole ready for eating number one
this is what she sends me
but like and then i'll accidentally click on and i go whoa whoa whoa and then here i'll play the
beginning i'll play just the audio of what i sent her that she was like oh my god this is horrible
are you fucking kidding me after all the things i send you the man secretly kisses his mother
every day no like incest is where i draw the line think about everybody there is a video
the incest is where i draw the line she goes too far and i literally showed me a video of like a
robot railing a fucking dough ball okay there was an incest well hey i actually don't know
the genetic makeup of an alien they might have some yeast in them
you got that dog in you they got that yeast in them they're yeasty boys oh gosh
um what was i even doing oh i was still reading comments sorry um
someone else said as someone who had her windows rolled down with music blasting because the sun
came out on monday and i finally felt alive i definitely understand that there's a time and a
place i always turn my music down when i'm waiting in drive-thrus or when i park at my apartment
complex as long as you're not breaking any rules and being an asshole just be an asshole then
you're not wrong oh being an asshole to be an asshole yeah someone else said i've never gotten
mad at anybody who does this because so many people do it i just thought it was normal so i
don't think they're wrong someone else said i agree with melissa here if you're doing it to
purposely agitate people then i'm out my commute home is my time to decompress from the day and
there's a difference between someone enjoying their own music and other people being able to
hear it and someone blasting their music for the purpose of interrupting others i love to see a
girl enjoying her time in her own world but i'm not down for being a nuisance like that i'll get
overstimulated if there are too many sounds happening at once and then another person i
don't know why you have a special uh instagram background that's spider-man one i noticed
because i was like did i put that did let's put that or did you put that because
something about melissa and i we both love spider-man so like we do i don't know you
haven't seen this one this is miles spider-man no i know but i i love spider-man as a franchise
mm-hmm um another person said i think it depends where she drives if it's in a busy center live
your life but if it's on a quiet road i like to throw eggs from my window at the writer
if they're cheaper oh i thought they said that's like what they do as a pastime i was like damn
rich oh you're like i'm not eating this shit i'm throwing it so much money i got
someone else said writer is wrong because they seem to be doing it less for their own enjoyment
and more just for the reaction of others the reaction i'd argue the reaction of others is
their enjoyment but that also pisses me off that they're doing it just to agitate others
another person said only voting wrong because girl you're going to destroy your ears also i
don't want my podcast time interrupted by someone else's noise yeah if you're interrupting us
with your noise jail yeah another person said this one did make me face reality a bit because i do
this and always think it's fun and a good time never thought i might be a nuisance i do it too
and i still think i'm fun in a good time do i mean like i think like if you're confident in
your music taste and like the vibe of your city you're fine yeah but also like if anyone ever
visibly was like giving me shit and like well i would have to judge them to be like why are they
giving me me shit like is it if it's like there's like a mom walking with like a stroller then i
would be like oh let me roll the windows up but like if it's that one man who lives in los angeles
who has the trump flag i'm turning it up um this reminds me of retta the actress slash comedian she
told this story about how she had her windows were up but she had her music blaring and like
bobbing her head and like singing loud and then she saw the people next to her were like giving
her a look so then she rolled down the windows and she's like singing opera at the top and she
can sing she's classic she's trained in opera she's a trained operatic singer and then they're
like okay like if you're gonna judge i'll give you if you want to judge the show i'll give you
a show motherfucker yes people pay for that shit um another person said i found this rude
like i didn't ask to listen to your music but if someone's even if it's like not my like personal
taste in music that like i would turn on but if like someone's playing something that i'm like
objectively like this is this is the music you should be blasting if you're blasting
taylor swift all too well no it windows down blasting music when the sun is up and people
are around isn't it not time for the sad girl cry it out that's shower music you can do that
with your windows rolled down at night when no one's around right i have to tell you because
when i had a convertible when i first moved to la at night driving down sunset with the
with the top down music blasting you can listen to you can listen to coldplay you can listen to
whatever the fuck you want i love driving down hollywood boulevard after the tourists have gone
to sleep like that just that area coming through there it's so relaxing there's people give shit
that like yes we should have public transportation and it's like yes there's a lot of cars here but
like i can't stress once you understand the vibe of being a car city like people we you literally
people literally just go on drives like you drive down pc you do all of that stuff and so like
people have their convertibles and they're like blasting them and it's night it's just like
there's a vibe to it yeah i love that another person said i agree with melissa that she's wrong
if she's doing it to be a nuisance just sounds annoying and why do you like irritating people
well here's an update this is the update i'm the writer okay so i don't know that i'm annoying
anyone i'm just self-conscious slash anxious i saw someone roll up their window once but i couldn't
tell if it was because of me or nasty city smells i'm sorry for being a nuisance in melissa's eyes
but these people don't know how to stay out of an intersection in traffic so i a little think
they deserve it it would be amazing if someone would jam out with me because it makes me happy
to see others jam out but i doubt it will ever happen i don't have a driveway to do this in
and it's just isn't the same most importantly megan you are so close with that photo i drive
a white ford escape stop okay now tell me what you're listening to we do know she said sabrina
carpenter oh yeah that man noah khan uh i do think that it is your civil duty to not
blast the noah khan song that's about suicide i think that's not a windows down blasting song
so they don't think they're necessarily irritating people they're just i do want to understand the
dichotomy of like i'm anxious and i think i'm being annoying and then still doing that thing
i like low-key love that energy of being like i feel like i'm pissing like i might piss people
off well oh well i'll see it anyway exposure therapy
your turn commercial
ice cold water and it's not even the water that would be in this bottle no but water in those
kinds of bottles it like so it changes though it does that's why i've kept it no i i i will
never fault you for like there is just something about about the good it's a good rate like the
the mount the spout like the opening of it and then how it keeps the temperature of the water
and then every vessel for water gives its own little zesty flavor it does that's why i could
never get fucking behind canned water because again much like chicken i can't do box water
like my brain doesn't compute what's happening i expect it to taste like school milk it's squishy
the water tastes squishy isn't that jayden smith's company squishy no box water yeah
shut up if it's jayden smith's company he started at nine and a half years old
box water jayden smith i mean he was not no his is just water but it's also in a box
so i was gonna say box water has been around since i was in high school so he was in
elementary do you think that he would have started something that's what i just said i said because
he was an entrepreneur from a young age actual school he went to the school of will and jada
yeah the school of life then we've written number two are they wrong for calling their lab mate
sexist two percent of the writer is wrong and 98 of the writer is not wrong as someone who works
in college athletics they oh that is unfortunately very male dominated i'm all for calling this out
i have often been the one tasked with scheduling events organizing the paperwork etc it has gotten
a lot better for me over the last two years since getting a new boss i will often just not say
anything and wait for my male co-worker to speak up on admin duty so it isn't always just the one
female in the office then you have to trust the men to do that i'm just saying just clean up your
own shit and bounce i think the boss is wrong in this scenario if she sees others not pulling
their weight it's her responsibility to make sure to call them out office housework quote unquote
as i always as i call it always defaults to women and it's so infuriating the organizing event
planning meeting agendas notes communication etc always gets picked up by women when i took over
our party planning committee the first thing i did was disband it if they want a happy hour
they can organize it themselves oh i love that energy too says i'll actually take that
responsibility and the end smart smart smart stop doing work for other people call out your boss to
their boss and continue normalizing intolerance of this bullshit behavior nothing will change
unless we change it writer is so not wrong i also work in a quote-unquote male field with a bunch of
engineers and physicists maybe it is because my job is different i was hired as the language and
communications person but they treat me with a lot of respect and ask me all their english questions
and that's how it should be one time my boss wanted to hire a new person for our team and he
was a sexist asshole towards me you know asking me to get him coffee in his job interview as the
only one in the room and my boss immediately crossed him off his list and said he would never
hire someone who treats me or any woman like that i'm not going to praise him for that because it's
basic human decency or at least it should be but i just remember feeling such gratitude in that
moment because a team member like that would have made my job hell that reminds me um and i'm gonna
name drop so hard right now good i was in a production thing and somebody and um somebody
asked me to get an actor some tea and the actor was patrick stewart and he looked at me and he
was like i can make my own tea good and it takes people standing up like that i i wish people could
were able to take a step back and view it's like it's secretary culture like that aspect of like
when women were allowed to have jobs they weren't getting paid they were doing the same household
tasks at workplace for their husband at their job and then when it was like women can they can they
can pay taxes and stuff now too then it just became those admin duties defaulting on to women
because people still wrongly think it's oh it's just your it's biology like that's just how it
works and i'm like i can know someone else said this quite literally is why i changed my major
in college from physics to comms which makes sense i physics to biology there are a lot more
people that looked like me in biology to set me so heated i wrote a rant that was too long to
fit in a dm i'm a phd student at a lab in a top 20 program with mostly people from other cultures
as well and the most sexist thing that they've done is insist that men do heavy lifting we don't
have a lab manager so adamant stuff either gets taken care of by senior members or the lab of the
or split evenly amongst everyone she needs to start documenting every time they do something
sexist slash refuse to clean etc and bring it to her boss or the department and explain how this
is affecting her research if they don't do anything about it i would just stop cleaning
up after them even if it impacted my work grr that's it i forgot about this i can't who is wrong
this is about the hansville police department 97 said the pd is wrong three percent said pd is not
wrong so what i haven't read them i'm sorry but that woman doesn't look a day under geriatric
as someone with a druggy mom she looks even worse than my mom hey once you know somebody who has
participated in a specific set of substances you can see it on the face people always want to talk
about coke nose i think that that's not the one i'm familiar with but they're the other ones and
there are some key facial features oh god that one got me um another person said haven't even
finished listening to the episode yet but i'm just gonna assume they're wrong because
they're police fuck them you gotta listen if you haven't yet because it's a fun little game
it's it's also alarming and then someone else said girl and then the emoji with the hand over
the mouth mr sweaty bangs looks so much worse than what i was picturing in my head while listening to
the episode yeah i can't stress enough that you might want to blow up those pictures like
look even closer because it is a small image that i was able to share
the peaceiness with these bangs i he has three bangs like it is it is so sweaty
uh um someone else as someone from alabama was while seeing my fave podcast covering this
unfortunately wasn't surprising no you know what are they called hucks hunt hansville i was like
Huntsville, they've got little sibling syndrome with Huntsville.
They said, we can't be the best.
We can certainly be the worst.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Then we have my nomination for wrong of the week, the Protector app.
97% said Protector is wrong. 3% said Protector is not wrong.
i will say this started showing up my tiktok feed of people being like oh my god i feel like this is
like actually like affordable and a steal like hiring one of these guys for a girl's night and
i was like where you guys that should be alarming like where are you going where you think you need
an armed driver they have never been to los angeles in their life so they're gonna make the
trip and then they're gonna i i'm gonna say something crazy maybe if i genuinely thought
a city was so unsafe that i could not go somewhere without someone with a gun i'm not fucking i'm not
going i'm not going to a fucking club like what do you mean i'm just and even people being like
damn like they really made it as affordable for these girlies and i go no that that's a why do
you what i think we know at this point to not get veneers on groupon why are you getting a discount
security guard who got kicked out of every other fucking academy and it's like oh kicked out of
they're like oh former lapd and i go do you do you know how bad you have to be to get kicked out
of lapd like do you understand but how bad you have to be you could just go to murrieta pd you
could go to riverside you could go to ranch you could go you and no you gotta you gotta get on
this app by the way i did include the image they do they had a whole fucking photo shoot and video
shoot with these men where they did a share horowitz from clueless and they had them
wear different outfits so you can see the options of what look they can show up in oh my god and
their tactical what do they call it tactical formal tactical cocktail tactical gear whatever
it is like cargo pants and an oversized um polo and i go so you're just not big enough to be a
security guard you're not big enough to be a bouncer that's all i'm getting
so yeah 97 they're wrong three percent so they're not
and let's see i just i i will never get over the fact that it's like the same people who are like
it's not safe to take an uber or lyft and i go yeah you know what i want my uber driver to have
a gun with a fucking gun like somebody else brought that up that's so that doesn't that
makes me feel so much work i want to be alone i never want to be in a car alone with a man
i really don't want to be in a car alone with a man who is armed who has been kicked out of
i like now that on lyft you can choose yes only and i do feel like some of the people who haven't
seen talking about this i'm like you're giving me the vibe like i think we are peers i think
you would also pick a woman driver i will only take a man if he's got a gun no i'm so sorry
the logic is out the fucking window i think some of these people are actually paid to say no i i
was gonna i i do not think that these people are a in la and b actually participating have not been
in it i've actually i've never even seen anyone being like hey i hired him day in my life with
my protector bodyguard like i haven't seen any of that i've just seen like discourse from people
from other cities talking about it and i was like i feel like it's an unpaid ad and i don't think
you're ever gonna do this because there is zero fucking logic behind it i think some of them are
paid they're just not disclosing that's right yeah well because also like it feels like a shift in
like marketing um by by the app because and the app like all of like the promo videos and stuff
are done like as a response to like united healthcare workers so like to me it would make
the most sense of being like okay these are for people who are traveling and they're like like
they're coming to la for a conference and they're nervous or whatever which by the way
if i was talking to boss about this he goes if you are worth any like if there's any security
risk on you that like you already have this like yes and you certainly would not be hiring as a gig
worker on a one-off like no if you need security you have security pretty much all the time or at
least regularly scheduled for specific events that you know you need security for exactly and it's
not going to be again somebody that got kicked out it's going to be an actual security and it's
also going to be a team of people team of people okay someone said this is so scary and insane why
do they think this is a good idea they don't they really marketed initially to people like fragile
not even current ceos future ceos who are like i'm gonna start a healthcare insurance company
one day and like people my life is gonna be on the line and it's to those people and then they
realize it's actually not enough of those people so let's start marketing towards women
so i said wrong wrong wrong what's worse than a male uber driver a male uber driver with a gun
yep we we so what else said if i want protection at a discount i'm looking for the this is so
fucking true if i want protection and discount i'm looking for the nearest stud mask lesbian
with a crowbar not a man i have to pay for and address that is legitimately times of crisis
i'm like where are the lesbians i don't want them i don't want this man someone said i'm
still thinking about the way that megan gentle parented gavin i'm assuming gavin newsom
when did i do that i don't know but also somebody put on our
uh spotify they said gavin gavin you look like you oh it was one of the the drivers because i
was like by the way i've definitely gentle parented gavin newsom about like we can get
through this but it was one of the drivers yes so oh he was the one with the pretty face
this person said gavin gavin you look like you could do so much more with your life making your
delivery and this line was impeccable yeah no because i said he's he's he's got a marketable
face like i think he would could go from extra to feature to extra to speaking rope quite quickly
i think most of them could they are seem to be valuing valuing the uh the the archetypes and
aesthetics i'm not saying these men are attractive but i'm saying they got that that they have the
central casting look and i'm just saying how about you hop on over to central casting instead
also i do know for a fact most of them probably are like instead of working at john and penny's
and being an actor they're just gonna work on protector and be an actor yeah someone else said
i just love being instantly on the same page as y'all because as soon as megan said the name my
first thought was that beyonce used to sue and then megan said the exact same thing not even a
split second later yes exactly as someone who was born and raised in the valley there are parts of
la county i have never been to you might as well hire a private driver without firearms that makes
way more sense to me especially when it comes to parking in downtown la forget stranger danger have
you tried figuring out the time and day you could legally park in some streets on la you will
literally you'll often find yourself deciphering hieroglyphics from five stack signs that basically
tell you no you cannot park here go park at the place that charges you 50 plus per hour parking
enforcement officers will ticket you faster than any bullet just get an uber girl it is not worth
paying extra for protection that is so true that is so true i was literally somewhere earlier this
week and i pulled into a parking spot and i was like one this seems like it's too good to be true
so i don't think it's actually true but the sign seemed right like it seemed like i should park
there but i was like you know what i'm gonna go i'm just gonna drive a little bit more and see
if i can find something else that's more clear because yes these signs don't make any fucking
sense i can't stress to you guys enough that like you can't even read the signs from your car
because there are so many you have to get out of your car so you get an accurate angle you have to
step back to see all of them and i will forever be grateful for this man in encino where i was
looking for parking one time trying to go to the pharmacy and i was looking for parking and then i
finally found it and then he came out of his house and said honey so sorry you can't park there the
signs are really fucking confusing and i said oh no okay and he goes you can park over here and
then walks in his bathrobe and slippers walks and stands where i can park so no one else can park
fair and i was like thank you sir like so kind because you know you know that and i'm sure he
looked it was like oh god no she's gonna get a ticket so fast because it is you can call lapd
for an actual emergency they won't get there for so long a meter made and the meter mates like
they're even confused sometimes because there is an app i used i used it all the time when i first
lived here but now i'm like i'm not even taking the risk but there's an app where you can contest
your your parking tickets and so on the pch there is a stretch where you can actually park in
between but like if you're outside you can't park and i was in the in between and i had i came back
to my car and i had a ticket and so i took a picture and then contested it and it got taken
off but like why should i have to pay money for somebody to take a ticket off that shouldn't i
shouldn't have gotten in the first place one time mods got um a ticket and they their clock was
wrong so it was like a full hour before they it was like daylight savings and their clock didn't
change and it was like they had wrote in the notes like an hour over but the printed time
was the correct time and i was like yeah we gotta gotta do a quick little double check for that
right but la if you need security you're already famous enough where you don't need to use this app
i'm waiting for them to start like marketing to um horny book talk readers of being like
what if i fall in love with my protector i think someone else said something um someone said and
megan is so right to sue them beyonce yes if only they had named it after a taylor swift song because
i do think we are the only entity that taylor swift has not sued for a shared name we we no
we existed first for her song but i also like to think that she says i like what they're doing over
there and i'd like to see it so i will not put an end to that all right well that's the end of the
episode you're like i wish that you guys would put the words that i've typed in your mouth
and we'd say of course you can do that too but you just have to participate by writing in
when we have megan you caught up now dude i thought you said you were tired and i was like
okay we're one in the same boat that that is a fully rested sentence if you're watching on
on spotify you can see megan visibly working what i said out in her brain yeah
if you'd like to participate then you can write in when we do the votes also make sure you listen
to the episode but i take it if you don't listen to the episode you're also not listening right
now so maybe we should put a warning up next vote but you can uh vote and then share your
thoughts we love reading them when you've actually listened to the episode and they
make sense in the context of what we posted and we talk a lot so we really need the context
and if i write in asking for context and then you get an attitude with me
then that just proves more that you didn't listen to the episode and then you tell me and then
lie again listen on monday for but am i wrong which came out yesterday listen before you do
the votes tomorrow um and then listen to uh don't blame me on thursday fisting friday on friday and
then back for but am i wrong on monday and here for see you next tuesday obviously on tuesday
and we will see you next tuesday this is a sister sign production hosted by me
megan ranks and me melissa d montz plus diamond imprint productions
