stop consuming the stuff that's sad and bleak and dark well if it was if it was like when we
were growing up where you could actually pre-9-11 where you could just uh oops sorry i'm not that
old um you could just turn on the news and watch it for an hour like at 6 p.m and then turn it off
And there was actual just one time increment and it became 24 hours.
And it's like,
it's just never not coming flowing into you.
Yeah.
You know,
it's,
it's,
it's,
I feel like bad news is seeping out of my pores at this point.
Yeah.
It's hard to maintain any sort of boundaries with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's,
it's hard.
Your phone is telling you what's happening.
Your,
your feed is telling you what's happening.
Your mom is calling you to tell you what's happening.
Yeah.
It's like,
Hey,
Hey,
Hey,
Hey,
Hey,
leave that at the door.
at the dough.
Your mother called you
to tell you something bad?
Mom is always calling me
to tell me about something bad.
My mother, like...
Mothers love giving bad news.
But when I was a kid,
my mom...
Yeah.
Moms, you gotta stop.
You gotta hit us with something good,
then bad.
They get really excited
to, like, relay.
They're like,
oh, you know this person?
You know who I bumped into
at the grocery store?
No.
I don't.
Nar.
My aunt came to pick something up yesterday.
Oh, dropped something off
at my house yesterday.
And she's like,
you know I'm praying for you.
And I was like,
yeah and she was like she was looking at me and she just was like you're gonna make me cry and I
was like I didn't even do anything wait what happened why is she praying you hear what I'm
saying nothing nothing she's always just praying for people yeah that is a wide that is a wide
spectrum that could go any way she's praying for you because you're just like doing so well or
praying for you because she's deathly worried praying for me so that I find a man oh my god
and have some baby yeah I am you stop it you're gonna make me cry I was like I'm happy yeah
My skin is shining.
I'm not the hell out of here.
My skin is good.
Like, what's the problem?
She's like, oh.
And she just kind of stood there in my kitchen and looked at me with, like, tears in her eyes.
And I was like, this lady got to stop.
She got to stop coming to the house.
And your kitchen has really good lighting.
So I'm sure it was bouncing off the reflection.
And the sun was bouncing off her.
And you could really see the tears.
Her luminosity.
Yeah, her eyes were like, you know, like cartoon character, like anime, wet eyes.
I said, hey, I think your car is getting towed.
You got to get back to the car, babe.
Hey, can you take getting somebody or having somebody to have a man on your...
Can you take it off the prayer list?
That's not a real...
I've got so many people praying for me in that arena back home as well.
She invited me to church this weekend.
I said, hey, I ain't going to be able to make it.
It's not even like 10th on my priority list.
Thank you.
I'm busy.
I'm happy.
I'm fulfilled.
It's 11th.
Yeah.
It is number 11.
So if you have a job and you're sexy.
Yeah, because if you're praying for somebody to get a man or have a man,
I feel like you're just praying for them to have more problems.
I love you.
No, she don't see it that way.
My mom never asks me anything about children or grandbabies.
Never.
Never in my entire life has my mom ever been like,
when are you going to get a man?
Never.
Yeah, okay.
My aunt, every time I see her,
when you need to get married so you can have a baby.
Yeah.
First of all, the order has been, that's not even the PEMDAS no more.
it's not always the best option to get married and have a baby it's like sometimes you might
just want to get the baby are but wait or get married no baby can we just really be honest
nobody is really selling it properly like the pr for marriage and babies i say that all this bad
news i agree and it's just like everything's flipped unless a man really improves your life
it doesn't make any sense to marry any sense we like the reason it is we had to do it before
because we couldn't own property.
We didn't have credit cards.
Know your history.
Couldn't do anything.
That's what we were forced to.
We couldn't own credit cards.
Yes.
Now I have a credit card.
It's not doing nothing for my credit.
I was like,
Marie.
Yeah,
well,
you do.
You might need.
Well,
let's see what my credit score is.
You think I should get married to a man
for my credit score to go up?
no,
no,
no.
I'm just saying.
It's been going up.
It's been going up.
Well,
if we are going to make a pros and cons problem,
we will put that in the pro.
That is one.
Yeah.
I mean,
at least,
you know put you as a what what am i uh dependent no oh bitch
i'm an authorized user of my girlfriend's oh you are yes that is so chic if you think that's what
my aunt should be crying about yeah i'm not an authorized user i always see girls on tiktok
talking about how they're like getting a man or getting their partner to add them to their credit
partner I've never met someone in real life I am I am one married that's incredible and no one has
prayed that for me and it has happened but you know what somebody might have prayed somebody
might have prayed that's incredible thank you I feel like whenever somebody's making a prayer for
somebody they always say it out loud they they never just they're not just praying from behind
the scenes they gotta let you know I'm praying for you I'm praying for you know I pray for you
I do, I do secret prayers where I don't tell anyone.
Yeah.
Well, now it's out.
Yeah.
Marie, hold on, Blair.
Yeah.
What did you pray?
Hey, you said you don't like to hear it.
So I ain't gonna tell you what it is.
You said don't tell you.
Okay, wait, wait.
We didn't, we didn't bring you in, but obviously you're, you're in the mix already.
Oh yeah, sorry.
Blair, Saki's in the building.
Hi guys.
And you were from, back in the day, Unofficial Expert.
That was so much fun.
Do you remember what you were the expert in?
I think you guys made me a tomboy.
Yes, you were.
We made you a tomboy.
I think you are a tomboy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but of course.
We're looking at the look right now.
And it's very consistent with what you did, you know, when it first came on the pot.
Oh, you think?
Okay, yeah.
You had a trucker hat on, actually.
Yeah, I do.
I stay with the hats.
I like the hats.
And especially since I just got a botched perm, it's even more on the up.
What's a botched perm, sis?
Actually, you know what?
I can't even say that it was a botched perm.
the perm itself wasn't botched it's just that I was high every night on TikTok watching these
girls get these new healthy perms and what I and what I failed to realize until post-perm
was that these women had like long healthy shiny thick Korean hair and so they ended up their loose
perms ended up looking like your hair right now and I was like that would look so that would really
elevate my skateboard hair to looking glamorous you know what I mean and so I went in asking them
like with that goal failing to realize i already have like curly surf hair and i walked out after
telling them i'd like it to look less skateboard full lords of dog town heath ledger never more
skateboard in my life i i need a visual we need to insert a photo you want to take your head off
no i don't want that actually that was that was anti-black to ask me to take your head off
yeah this is basically it like look at that texture like i have to it's like made my hair
dry now where it wasn't dry before but your hair is already wavy so i know it was all a mistake
i really like this is what i was going for and it turns yes get you a flat iron um i can hook you
up with mark i mean she she gonna have to order it for you she might have some in the back well
like a perm would have never crossed my mind until i saw these women they're like oh it's this new
type of perm where it's these loose curls like that and it looked so elegant and i was like
that would really up my game and i walked out looking like i just got fried in a motherfucking
crimper you know it wasn't as good in the 80s yes yes it's not the 80s are back but the perm itself
i don't think was a botch like i think it turned out how it was whatever but i just didn't know
what you were asking for yes exactly um precisely i would like to see you with some extensions some
clip-ins i would love extensions but i know my hair is so fine it would ruin them my hair also
it's all about maintenance and i was no offense yes i'm i don't think you're doing yeah you were
you're a shake and go kind of girl guys not all at once damn i see you getting up you just here's
the thing i i look i won't i won't pretend that you're not right about the air dry okay i love
the air dry but the thing that i really put all my heart and soul into is skincare and dollars
and it looks amazing and that is my thank you that is my autistic special interest autistic i'm on
there reference i am on there studying for years and once i figure out how to edit a tiktok video
maybe marie you can do a tutorial with me one day i'm going to become the world's first foremost
skincare influencer with like a funny flair because these bitches make so much money and i
can do it and be funny but they do have funny flair there's girls that are slathering on
serums and doing their steps and they're also talking about so this is what happened when my
boyfriend cheated on me with my sister like they're doing that totally and then some are like
just actual estheticians and i followed them all for many years so at this point i have just as
much knowledge accrued and i could you might as well get the certificate yeah i know the skincare
but what'd you call it autistic what special interest special interest yeah okay is it
something that they fixate on or yes where it's like i where you spend like i spend all my time
researching skincare like every procedure every thing like it's it's my main passion and then i
buy and then i you know what's even more fucked up i got a handyman to install a hair tool like
organizer in my bathroom with all these unused hair tools that i also bought after my five
milligram night gummy five milligram night gummy a little melatonin no thc yeah i was like yeah
yeah but a night i just call it a night gummy yeah it is a sleep gummy ultimately you take it
at night yeah now blair i just want to be honest with everybody who's tuning in right now you hit
us with some very lukewarm mess via text but you're really coming with it right now no i knew
I needed to
get your opinion first
I was misunderstanding
really sort of
I was like trust me
I know you as a friend
we know you got this
when you hit us with the
mess loud cars
I said girl we might have to scratch a whole episode
hold on
let's have a conversation
hold on
let's start the episode properly
Yeah, we did.
We just got right into it.
And do our mess.
Mess, yes.
Do you have a mess that you want to share with the people?
Yes, I do, baby.
I do got some mess.
Now, let me tell y'all.
Now, I'm elevated in my life with, you know, all things.
All things elevated.
You know, I want, I no longer want to be a silver medallion.
I want to be a gold Delta member medallion or whatever.
And I'm working on that.
I'm already there.
I just have to do a couple more flights and I'm there.
I was there last year.
I just got there.
You're gold?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're doing it.
You travel a lot.
Not all of us can be Marie, okay,
and be in the front of the plane.
She's platinum.
I'm platinum, and I'm just trying to get to Diamond.
But Diamond, you got to spend like $28,000 in a year.
Marie, you got that.
Come on.
I do.
Where am I going that I'm spending that much money on a flight?
We need to be doing more trips, friend.
Come on.
Let's think about it.
No.
$28,000.
Babe, not $2,800.
A fun trip.
$28,000.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
You're right, Marie.
No, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to maintain platinum this year.
I'm sorry I put that on you.
Okay, so anyway.
So, you know.
You got it.
To the moon and back.
I'm sorry.
That's a good friend that will also hype you up.
I am.
I do.
I'm one of the biggest hype men over here.
But one of the perks of being platinum is I get bumped up to first class a lot now.
Right.
So, I'm paying for the regular seat.
Yeah.
And then letting them.
Oh, that's genius.
So, I'm actually spending less money.
So, that's why.
You're right.
So, traveling a lot.
But I'm, you know, doing dates for my black Barbie story is going great.
Yes.
But when when it comes to picking seats, I'm just like, whatever is cheapest.
But hopefully it's not the middle.
But for some reason, I let Delta pick my seat, whatever was available.
And it's been middle going there, coming back.
Did not know that was a thing.
Right.
And sometimes you could get bumped up and it'd be a middle seat.
It's like, how could you bump me up to comfort plus when it's the middle seat?
There is no comfort in middle.
I that's happened to me before and I literally was like you cannot upgrade someone from a
side seat to a middle seat I think they need to just take middle seats out I made them change
me back I was like not gonna take that yeah you was like I'd rather be in the back with a window
seat than up closer but in the middle because it just doesn't feel I see too much so I have to be
on the aisle yes I agree so uh I'm I'm in the middle seat I'm freaking out I'm freaking out
because I usually I get on a plane and I could just sleep I could I could not sleep in this
middle seat was so uncomfortable yeah so you know when you're up you're going to be scrolling i'm
scrolling scrolling scrolling and you know you're in a good flow state of algo and you're getting
all the fun stuff that's funny i'm laughing i'm cracking up or whatever but this here's my mess
the video is not the mess that's not the best oh my that is a part of the mess but it's not
the full mess that is a mess to me the video starts out there's a little greyhound dog
and it's a puppy and you're like oh my god so cute and now there's um a baby involved because
the family has a baby and the dog is playing with the baby and i'm like oh my god it's okay

but if that's gonna happen
then you need to set me up in the beginning of the video
Yeah, but then you wouldn't have watched to the end.
They know what they're doing.
You don't read the comments while the video's playing?
No, no, no, because I was so invested.
I was so invested.
I'm going to send you the video, Marie.
I already know you're not going to cry.
But maybe Becca.
I'd cry probably before it even gets to death.
I'd cry if a small gust of wind goes by.
You'd be like, that plastic bag.
Yeah, I see something so cute and sweet and just innocent, it'll make me sob.
I don't have enough tears for this, Marie.
when do you cry do you cry
once a year on my birthday
um
you know I think I Sydney

time we did a solo episode in this room sitting in that
same chair and you know
she had my eyes looking like my aunt's eyes as
well so right oh that's pretty
good you made her oh good job
said well now she's laughing at me
I gotta laugh this is
she doesn't know what to do
you cried in the middle seat for the dog
and now you crying again in the middle seat
I actually have PTSD
this is a better middle seat though
yes you know you're not stuck
if you need to go to the bathroom
just pee right there pee in the seat
hey Marie what's your mess
speaking of pee so
um you know I'm getting
this work done in my home
my landlord
whoo raggedy
they all are
raggedy raggedy raggedy
have you met one that wasn't
No, we have not met one. I've never met a landlord that I was like, mommy.
Anyway, so they're patching up holes. They're about to paint, whatever.
They get to my house yesterday and it's supposed to just be a little patch job in my bedroom.
I leave. I go to drop off some checks at the bank. I come in my whole kitchen covered in plastic.
they got you know tarp down on the ground my flowers got plastic on i said wow wow what's
happening here they're like oh well we we patching that up in the corner we might as well just patch
up the whole ceiling what no but whatever i bring home i'm getting ready to go to dinner with sydney
and some people so i i grab all my clothes that i can reach and i go into my bathroom to get dressed
right i'm getting dressed in my bathroom and you know i go to use the bathroom
and you know you run water
so people can't hear what you're doing in the bathroom
I flush
all of the water starts coming up
I'm in my bathroom like
oh my god
that is one of the worst
feelings there are
the impending trying to stop
disaster of the toilet
I'm like
but you know when you can't
don't even try
when it gets to the top you're done
it goes all the way to the top
and it's so fast
it's so fast
you have like such a small
it's like slow fast though
yes
because you're watching it go up
and you're like
oh there's no way it's gonna
it goes all the way up
right
stops
mind you I have a bidet
so the bidet is now in the toilet water
and now
oh no you gotta throw the bidet away
no you can clean a bidet sis
okay
the same way your bidet clean your booty
you can clean a bidet
okay
that's what the Clorox is for
right
anyway
it goes all the way up
I'm holding my breath
it starts to come down
I'm like, whoo, phew.
Yes.
But I know these men are outside.
They hear me go, whoo.
I would have done the same thing.
The relief of a toilet almost and then not.
Listen, I sounded like Ric Flair in there.
I'm screaming.
So the water goes down, but everything that was in the toilet, still in the toilet.
I'm like, oh, I'm going to flush it again.
No, Marie.
no you don't
I don't know
I don't know
I would not
I would not
I'm like
I'm like
I have to leave
I can't leave
what if one of them
comes in to use the bathroom
when I'm
you use the drain
like I always have
Drano
underneath
just in case
I don't have Drano
I thought that was
for the scene
no I use it for the
toilets too
okay
they have stuff for the
yeah
they have it for the
Alexa put Drano
on the grocery list yeah anyway um i come back hours later everything's the water is gone but
everything's still in there ew i'm like in there marie you know thoughts and prayers
little fiber there's some fiber in there
Ew, ew, ew, ew.
Anyway, my toilet still today, 24 hours later, is not flushing all the way.
And how did this happen?
Do you think it was something that they did?
Or is it always like that?
I don't know.
Or was it the construction?
They're not doing construction.
They're literally just patching up the walls and the ceiling.
I know, but you made it sound like all of a sudden it turned into a lot of construction.
I'm blaming them because maybe they flushed a paintbrush or something.
Yeah, I'm blaming them too.
I mean, they're the variable, right?
It was working before they got there.
Listen, I woke up this morning.
I needed to use the bathroom.
I had to go to the gym.
Marie.
To use the gym bathroom.
I'm not adding fiber upon fibers upon fibers.
Oh, my God.
You had it.
I just popped into the gym.
Literally, I checked in at the front desk.
I used the bathroom.
Came right back 10 minutes later.
They're like, oh, that was a fast workout.
I'm like, yeah.
All I have time for.
I promise you I'm skinny.
Yeah.
it's about consistency
not duration
anyway
that's partially why I was late today
because I had to go to the gym to poop
right
wow you've been through a lot
I mean
now no one can ever come to my house
mind you I had a plumber
a plunger
I had a plunger
for the whole six years I've been in this apartment
never used it once
got rid of it last month
because I was like,
this is ugly.
You need a plunger.
I never had a plunger.
I never had a plunger
in my bathroom
until Rosebud was staying with me
and flushed like a million tampons
down like seven-year-old pipes.
First of all,
you know you're not supposed
to flush tampons.
I honestly, to her credit,
only found that out
a few years ago.
Every public bathroom
that you go into
has a sign that says
don't flush that shit here.
I know.
I thought they were just being
like overbearing.
I'm always flushing.
You flush your tampons down the toilet?
I did my whole life, but like no one, I literally, it wasn't like I was just doing whatever the
fuck I want.
I had never heard that before.
I do it.
I stopped wearing tampons though a while ago.
You free bleed?
You use the cup?
I use the undies.
Oh, Thinx?
I just started trying them.
How do the undies work?
It's really cool because it is basically like you're free bleeding.
But wait, I thought Thinx was under, I thought they had a class.
Oh, there's like a million brands.
I just got some on Amazon.
I don't know.
there's a class but i do feel like the tramps are a lot better without tampons and also it's
like my whole life growing up in southern california is like you it's bikinis year round
and so so many tampons and you know it was like just forced tampon hood this is mess
forced tampon hood yeah no it's crazy how do you wash the the free bleed period panties well before
i purchased them i actually did look that up i was like do you have to wash them separate or can
you wash them with your regular loads you know that feels wrong and they said just give them a
rinse before you throw them in with the load but i have to be honest with you guys and i'm not afraid
to be candid um i haven't washed them yet this is my first run through okay wait hold on you've been
using them and not washing them no no i put them in a little bag and i'm gonna uh like just for a
few days like a little trash bag and then i'll wash them okay but you're not
okay this is when you take them off before you get in the shower you can't just rinse them real
quick yeah oh no you can yeah i'm saying yeah you're not doing i'm saying at rosemary's house
i don't want to rinse my blood in her fucking nice sink yes i just have a little trash bag
honestly i might even throw them away at this point i might because i'm not at my home to wash
them you know okay i would jump in the shower with them honestly yeah you're crazy no no because
you just put a little soap in it yeah yeah i think that's fine i'm not saying you know the other night
at um karaoke night with um at a sober night where i was the only drunk person oh you weren't the
only drunk person and um kiana no who else who else was drunk oh i'll tell you oh okay it's private
yeah um but i but i was so excited because like my period sometimes fucks me up and i couldn't
tell stop telling everyone how much i love the period underwear oh you didn't tell me that i'm
glad you didn't because i'm gonna stop you there stop you right there i don't want to hear that
you you weren't even sitting down long enough for me to tell you about that you were you were
ass in the air you were leaving it all on the floor it was amazing sydney at karaoke ass in
to air hair on the ground i it was such a fun new york night though like me and rose but i've been
on a high since then even though i was podcasting all day yesterday and woke up with like a hangover
from hell since i rarely ever drink yeah girl you were drinking martinis at karaoke no i had
one martini and i only had two sips because it was nasty and then i was just drinking very watered
down apparel yeah karaoke martini don't sound like it's karaoke martini i had a sip of that
And I was like, this was not what I was expecting.
Karaoke Martini sounds like the title of the episode.
Karaoke Martini.
Yes, very cute.
Okay, Blair, let's really get into it.
You gave us so much already.
I know.
We already got deep into the vaginal blood.
Yes, we did.
Vaginal blood.
But let's pivot.
Let's change our perspective.
Okay.
What are you here for?
What's your mess?
Well, I mean, as we did run through an entire lexicon,
it was sort of like pick it.
You know in Clueless when she has that remote control closet,
we were just like scrolling through the catalog.
That's the dream closet.
Yeah, I love that.
That would be so much fun.
Um, but I think we decided on, uh, the UTI in Miami story where I was dating at the time,
a long distance boyfriend, very in love.
And we were meeting, he was flying from California and I had just moved to New York.
I'd maybe lived in New York, maybe a month.
And we were flying to Miami to meet each other for his mom's 50th birthday party, where he
was going to have like a ton, like 50 of his relatives that I was going to be meeting.
and we were like pretty serious you know wait how long were y'all dating how long we were dating
at that point probably a year or something maybe a year maybe a little longer i don't know um but
of course like i'm wanting to make a good impression and um his mom's colombian so they
like they were all coming they all speak spanish and i you know i was i'm like this little white
girl walking in i'm like 180 whatever you're like hola yeah you're like
actually i've been taking spanish since kindergarten lived in spain for a while so
i understand that this comes into the story actually okay great i do understand a lot of
spanish but i'm like i got out of practice of speaking it because i get too shy like it comes
I feel like it comes off Karen-y.
Well, you speaking just regular,
that's already a voice.
I know.
So, I couldn't imagine you speaking Spanish.
Yeah.
With that voice.
Bring it back, Blair.
Bring it back.
So, Heigl and, you know,
like, since we never see each other
because we're long distance,
we are absolutely banging in the two-bedroom
Miami high-rise, you know?
Who else is staying in the two-bedroom?
Just his mother,
who is, like, a lovely, lovely woman.
right just his mother and um she she's really cool like with all that uh like she'd always be
like why don't you show your body more you know for you yeah or like why don't why don't you guys
like she's like you don't do PDA I was like I don't know I was just trying to be respectful
you know she's like why are you not bouncing on that thing in front of me and she's like do you
like my son or not that's kind of sort of a little bit but she's so sweet anyways all of a sudden it
comes on um you know the beach and i don't know there might have been sand stuck in there from
that like beautiful water it was incredible tropical first time to miami and he goes down
he doesn't have his phone and he goes to the beach with his brother and i was gonna like
meet him down or something all of a sudden this uti comes on like a like just knives like machetes
you know because sometimes there's a low-key uti but sometimes if you get the wrong one the wrong
flavor oh yeah there's different flavors of UTIs like a severe one it could really hurt you um like
they say that there can be some that can be more painful than childbirth I've never had a child I
I find that hard to believe I do too but this was so painful and it happened so fast it was not like
a slow developing it was like it went zero to a hundred where I was in so much pain and this was
pre-uber this was pre-uber so you had to hail a cab I had to ask her because I obviously I would
have just asked him to call me a cab but he was gone and didn't have his phone right his phone's
in the room with me so I had to go like oh my gosh I am so sorry about this this is so embarrassing
and you know I came from like a very sheltered very like manners forward family and I was like
I'm this is humiliating but I think I have to go to urgent care and like now did you did you say
she speaks english and this woman mine too this woman to this day like is a goddamn saint like i
adored her but she's like okay we'll take you like takes me down in the car and i'm like i am at this
point losing my vision and like i'm in so much pain like i can't even pay attention to anything
i can't help this and i i'm not i'm like barely conscious yeah and i'm like okay the urgent care
and then all of a sudden we pull up we pull up to the emergency room and i was like oh oh no no no
like i and she's like i don't know where an urgent care is so i just took her to the hospital i was
like oh god i was like i don't want to walk people are like bleeding out and od and you're like
coming in just no opening for my vagina i was like oh god i gotta tell them like when they're
asking me what's wrong i have to tell them i just have a uti there's like gunshot wounds and i was
like this is so embarrassing yeah in every front asking her not being able to take myself not being
able to ask him to take me then showing up at the hospital realizing what's happening that i'm at
the emergency room and i have no choice about it yeah i have to go through with it then i'm like
getting admitted she's waiting for me i'm like you don't have to wait like he you have him come
pick me up please please don't have to there's a huge wait i'm like definitely you don't have
to wait for me i'm in there what else is she doing i don't know she might as well wait for
you it's her birthday week yeah oh i guess you're right there's family in town i was like just drop
my ass i'll figure it out yeah i'd want to deal with this alone you know i'm like i can't stop
telling her how embarrassing this is she's a girl's girl what are you talking about no she's
She incredible
But all of a sudden I'm in there
We're waiting and it's taking forever
Of course of course it can't when I go
In there for this thing can't be quick
Nope all of a sudden
You know like my boyfriend at the time
Walks in and
Three cars full of
Relatives
That I have never met
Pull up
To the waiting room
So now I have
An entourage
i know i'm familiar i have half the waiting room is like relatives that i'm meeting for the first
time for my sex injury oh and i'm like young too like i wasn't you know what a columbian they
were like come on now they know what the kids do a little coca leaf in there
they were all so nice they were all so nice and just trying to be supportive but it was like
It truly felt like one of those movies where, like, one thing bad after another.
It was like a Meet the Fockers thing.
Like, I'm this demon, you know, person coming into the family.
And they're all in the waiting room.
So, see.
Then, like, for whatever reason, he reminded me of this, like, not too far back.
Like, we had this, like, wild nurse with, like, pink hair who was like, you know, you have to wipe front to back, right?
You're not.
Did you wipe back to front?
I'm like, who wipes back to front?
I don't know anybody.
Babies do that.
nobody is doing that i was like that's not even logical and she's like we have to ask
you know some people they don't you know it's a it's a important question how about it's like
how about i'm somebody's going to pound town on me and and i didn't and i didn't pee right away
that's what happened yeah well i could not believe that she thought i was ended up in the er because
i was accidentally scooping shit into my pussy and that's what made the entire party come to
the goddamn emergency room well your pussy is popping I'll tell you that much if the whole
fiesta fiesta then she asked my boyfriend and I don't think this would happen now maybe it would
but I don't think this would happen now like we've moved on as it progresses as a society
but she asked him directly like did you do anal and I was like no well no did you do anal and
then go back to the v nobody is doing that nobody does the piece no no i've to this day never done
anal um but mateo told me once when i was like first met him he's like never let a guy trick you
into doing anal you girls don't have prostates you don't need to be doing anal wait
wait so he's saying that we don't need to do anal because it's not it doesn't feel good yeah like
because like men have a prostate there so there's an actual like or a sexual stimulant a purpose for
it you know like doing anal for men there is a prostate like it hits that well i don't i don't
think that's fair because i've done it and it felt good well no not to say that you can't like it but
that's what he said to me and he's like you know i think there can be like psychological value
i think the funny thing here that we're skipping we're getting on a tangent
Mateo met you and was like
don't let these boys trick you
he thought he was going to get tricked
no I would never get tricked
I seem easily trickable but I'm less trickable than you think
I love to say no to men
it's like one of my true passions
but anyways
so then she's asking him directly
like if he's
and I was like excuse me
in English she's asking
this is the nurse at the pink hair
at the hospital
I thought the mom asked the mom
I was like, damn, mom is real comfortable.
No, I'm sure there were many.
They all knew what it was from.
And I did hear like one of his cousins who didn't know that I could understand Spanish
ask if my boobs were fake, which I took as a compliment.
That is a huge compliment.
Yeah.
What was the response?
Who was she asking?
Another cousin, another girl cousin.
They were like all like hot chicks, you know.
Welcome to the family.
Yeah.
Yeah, so, like, hours later after I get, like, hardcore medicine, go back.
I mean, now, that was my first time meeting them in a hospital gown for a UTI at the hospital.
Put your ass out.
I have to go back.
This was, the party hadn't even happened yet.
Yo, Claire.
Then we have to go to the party.
I'm still, like, really hardcore, like, not well.
I get on antibiotics, so obviously I can't have a drink.
And then they think I'm, like, a fucking dud, you know what I mean?
Like, at the party, like, I'm definitely still injured, like, trying to meet them, trying to save the weekend.
It was, like, it was just the worst thing to ever happen.
Oh, I was so embarrassed.
I'm going to have to step back and y'all have y'all good time.
I'm going to be in the room.
I can't.
Yeah.
No, there was a lot of prayer happening.
That is the time people need to pray for you.
I was like, please no UTI.
Please no hospital.
Oh, no, please no one finding out about this.
Oh, please no one witnessing this.
Prayers for Blair.
Yeah, prayers for Blair.
Now, did you guys have sex the rest of the weekend?
No, you can't.
No, I was in so much pain.
That shit was so painful.
That was the worst one I've ever had.
Marie, you never had a UTI before?
I've had a UTI before.
Was it not painful?
No.
I didn't even know I had a UTI.
Yeah, then I went like 10 years after without getting one after that.
God was like, you had enough for there, you know?
I kind of have a, not a similar story, but I understand about going to the, to the hospital, whatever, with a certain person.
It's like, I just feel more comfortable with a friend or going by myself.
A hundred percent.
I like, for high school graduation, I went out with my friends.
We used to drink it.
We doing, we getting wild.
I don't go back home because I was hooking up with a guy that I was hooking up with when I was in high school.
Yeah.
His name was Cadell.
He's, he's passed away now.
Oh, rest in peace Cadell.
Yeah.
but I ended up
not going home
for like two days
I'm sorry
what
you didn't even
shed a tear for Cadell
you barely even said
Cadell's name
but you cried
for the greyhound
I know
for 10 minutes
I know
I know
I know
thank you for that
Marie you really
I just
I just
I was like
Cadell what
he was inside you
you don't even know that
to her credit
she's gay now though
so it's like
she's never been a dog
dog
dog
They're so valuable, though.
To the gay community?
To all community.
Brie, hey, you're an empath for fucking eggs and chickens.
I'm an empath for greyhounds, okay?
Eggs and chickens?
It's a whole thing.
It's a whole thing, yeah.
Brie!
It's an ongoing thing.
The eggs that you buy determine how they taste.
Yeah, and what kind of life the mother lives.
So, ultimately, it's about taste for you, not empathy for the wife.
Well, you know, the ones that are in K-Tree.
Empathy, empathy really got mixed up in there somehow.
Yeah, because you can taste the sadness in the eggs, man.
All right, okay, okay.
Sad eggs, it happens.
Anyway, go ahead, sis.
But yeah, so this weekend, we couldn't have sex because I had got my period.
Yeah.
So, but we did like fool around and by fool around, you know, whatever.
and so i had i had a tampon in for the day too long yeah i i didn't take the tampon out in a
in a timely manner and so the next day i'm swollen i have a fever i look crazy i go home my mom is
already pissed at me because i hadn't been home in two days but she's like what's wrong with you
you look like a damn chipmunk and i was like well hello to you too ramona and she's like no no
something something is wrong and then she feels me she's like you you look really thick and so
I said yeah I'm not really feeling that well and so she's like my brother was there he's like well
I'll take you I'll take you to the hospital and so we go into the ER and they're like taking my
temperature and stuff and they're like is anything weird I was like oh I did have a tampon in for a
while and they're like okay let's get it out I said no no I already took it out she was already
gloved up like well we'll just take it out and I was like okay you think I came in here with a
stuffed tampon like no I I have heard of that happening to people that literally happened to
me last year yeah well last year I don't remember that story and you have to get it like extracted
well I didn't know it was in there right oh I didn't know it was in there I'm freaking out
about what's going on the gynecologist oh wow you guys are really talking about period underwear huh
oh hey hey who the hoes here you you were us
watch your mouth said it was nasty watch your mouth i said it's nasty to not wash them when
you take them off okay okay okay you know what else is nasty keeping the tampon in too long
basically i had toxic shock syndrome and so when everybody would talk about it i'd be like well i
am a survivor wait i was just gonna say because they they had me paralyzed with fear like they
warned us about this incessantly and i had never heard of someone getting it so you actually got
it and how long did it take like were you just sick for a day or did it last or like what i was
i was sick for like a couple days but my brother was there and it was just embarrassing to be like
oh he's like you didn't take your tampon tampon out haven't you had a period for a while he was
just dragging me,
roasting me the whole time.
And I was like,
I was like,
stay out of women's business.
They are so simple.
They would never be able
to keep up with all the
moving parts
we have to deal with.
100%.
They would constantly
get toxic shock.
Yeah, they would live
in toxic shock.
They would all be dead.
They are toxic shock.
They are toxic shock syndrome.
You guys hear that?
Toxic shock syndrome.
The men.
They barely change
their sheets or their socks.
Underwear.
And you're telling me
you're going to change
your tampon?
Yeah.
You're going to change
your tampon.
Ew.
Get the fuck out of here.
Disgusting.
Yeah.
Yo, but I'm at the gynecologist and I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what's wrong.
She's asking me about what my last cycle was.
I was like, like a week ago.
But how, what was your feel?
You were feeling like you had a stomach ache?
No, I, my body didn't feel funny.
It just, it didn't, it didn't smell right.
Oh, something was wrong.
I just was like, I would get like a whiff and be like, whoa, what's happening down here?
I said, is this, is this a UTI?
Is this a yeast infection?
Like, what's up?
go on his canals what's happening
go on his canals
am I in New Jersey
what's up
anyway so what happened was
so anyway she's like you know you still have a tampon up there
I said what no I don't
wait why did she say so casually
I forgot it was up there and I had put another one in
right
and after my period I did
I had had sex
tampon was just
tampon was here
it was in my neck
that he must have thought that shit was so tight he must have been like whoa no it's crowded bitch
it's not tight it's crowded it was packed up crowded packed up in there marie yeah anyway
they're like you know did you talk to him did you tell him after what happened well i spoke to him
before it happened and then i spoke to him after because i was like i think i might be dying like
He didn't smell anything?
You know, some people just want to be there.
Yo.
That's how long.
They just have to breathe.
They just have to breathe.
They should not tell you that.
That is the way it is.
Yeah.
He was happy to be there, see?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, did he have long COVID?
You didn't smell nothing?
I could smell it.
Okay.
I could smell, like, and it wasn't like I'm sitting here in these jeans and it's like,
I would just, like, randomly catch.
It would just be an errand to whiff.
yeah I would just catch a whiff
every once in a while
and I'd be like
that sit down air
that sit down air
is fierce bitch
sit down air
sit down air
you know when you
sit down and you might have
like some thin pants
and then you get that
whoosh
I know
I've had that
I've had the sit down air
not be proper
because I had
BV or something
yes
that well no
not the BV
it's the trick
trick
the parasite that I had
oh
yeah I had a
yeah it was
I'm not my proudest moment
but that is also
from a man
yeah
No, it's all from a man.
Listen, we're all good now.
You said I got light-colored pants on.
They're both done.
But I'm wearing light pants because I'm good.
I still...
They pulled it out.
I'm still on the bleeding, so...
I know, but the thing is that it's really hard taking care of yourself.
It's hard being a woman.
And, like, looking as if it's normal when you're just full on, you know, like, you still have things you have to show up to and your outfits and all sorts of things.
It's crazy.
Yeah, and then you still have to be nice to people.
it's like hey i'm literally bleeding out of one hole and i still have to smile because everybody's
upset when i don't smile i know and you gotta vimmo people in a timely matter fuck you and i'm
tired yeah and i'm hungry but like don't want to eat my iron is low my sugar is low oh god
you want to shop no no okay you're just saying okay
Blair so you do um you do live alone so that's another mess of yours living alone is pretty hard
it's great I don't know like I've lived now I'm I've lived alone so long I can't imagine it any
other way unless I had like a big house if I were to introduce a man um into the scenario you gotta
be in the west wing yeah there has to be wings I feel and my mom always says that real estate
saves marriages but um i live alone and you know i love it like i love my apartment it's so cute
it's so comfortable it's so calming it's so clean i love it one drawback as i did bring up to you
um you know california my beautiful state that i love um a lot of earthquakes there
and not nothing new it's nothing no and i've been when my new york gals come to california and they
get very worried and i totally understand like anytime rosebud um sees one on like mine or
something she calls me are you okay i'm like but she's shaking you know and i'm like no how often
is there an earthquake all the time i've been and it's like i grew up with them so it's like
totally normal the way that there's some does this disaster you guys are used to i don't know
what it is uh late subway late train ill yeah um not ill and then um not for me i swear if you get
out of the habit stuff to get back on it really is you're not wrong and i'll tell you what they
got way more expensive than they did i was like holy shit i gotta make more money to come this
down fully um but last year there was like a particularly big one and i forget like what the
earthquake protocol is now i'm sure it's changed since they made us do the drills growing up we
had to do them in school you gotta be in between a doorway i think yeah i guess stand in a doorway
but if you're on if you're on like a second uh not on the first floor like what's the
move i don't know why i'm asking you guys like i'm telling you i've lived through them all my
life like they're no big deal we should be asking you so a particularly big one one so big that like
one of my um uh art pieces came off the wall and i was in the shower so i'm full naked and i was
like damn this one seems bigger than usual and no matter how many times you go through it it's
still not a body are you slipping and sliding in the shower well you know that i have extreme
athletic prowess so i was able to not slip that time i don't want to get cocky tempt the universe
yes and um so i was pretty stable um ass naked and i was like whoa this is going on for like a
while and then i'm it's going on so long that i'm having the thought if this is if this turns into
some real shit someone's gonna find my naked body or i'm or even worse or maybe not worse i'm gonna
have to run down the stairs naked like no i do i do and and now that we're talking this through
i will think to grab it but you will not believe this later on like i don't know five six months
later another earthquake happened and i was in the shower again twice twice in the shower and i
was like this must be like foreshadowing of how i'm gonna go you know because i was like okay
we're doing it like i'm riding i'm riding this you know like i'm just fucking shaking my shit
shaking my shit that sound like a good title um but i'm not gonna say because i got shit in it
but whatever yeah well whatever and i was like i guess like you know i work out it wouldn't be the
worst if i have to run out and see my neighbor's ass naked to save life that's what i was gonna
to say i was like your body your body's t-blade thank you i see a little little little body
pictures you put post on the instagram yeah you're ripped yeah and you got good what is this
quads quads quads yeah born with those suckers um born with those guys those those things i'm real
stable and uh yeah but but i had that thought i was like oh god and then you're like it's like
that one episode i don't know if you ever think about this i don't really think about like bad
it up to me like in that way at least um but like what that one episode where carrie uh throws out
her back in the bathroom in the shower no it's miranda she gets so pissed that she asked carrie
come and he sends i think aiden she said aiden um but i was like oh god like yeah luckily i guess
it's more you get worried when you're old right now it's awesome i mean i don't want to bust my
in the shower that that feels like a old person injury that's what i'm saying yeah but i didn't
fall but i survived two naked earthquakes i have every time i've been in california many times i've
never felt an earthquake you haven't that's good two earthquakes i felt in new york both times oh
oh yeah you guys had one like in the past year that was pretty big right yeah it shook my whole
building i thought a truck hit my building my building is old and i love it it's so cute but
is old and like the walls are so thin like i can hear my fucking neighbor sneeze um yeah it's bad
they know a lot about me um but but like i when it felt like i'm like is this gonna crumble that's
what it feels like a hundred percent i said the building must not be up to code it's about to fall
down yo y'all don't even know it's an earthquake i was like what y'all don't even know i was in one
of the biggest earthquakes in um in oakland california in like the bay area yeah the bit
that big big one where it messed up the golden gate bridge like you weren't there for that i was
in there it was so that was scary it like broke down like uh the like overpasses yes and the
streets yeah i was at home with my aunt uncles and yeah you do have to be in the middle of the um
the doorway but we had one of those things that has all the glass inside of it that came down
the chandelier no no we did not have a chandelier wait glass thing like it's a like a case like a
cabinet yeah that it's not a credenza yeah but i know what you mean yeah but it has like all the
china like big china whatever so that broke all those all the things there's um all of our plates
and everything that was in those cabinets those came out like it was truly the scariest thing
and they were older they were much older and i was like right and that makes i was like if they
get hit with something yeah they're dead they're dead but we managed to lay low and my cousin
was in labor she was in labor when that's why the earth was shaking the baby was the
that has to be so scary being a pregnant to go into labor because like the streets are
fucked up and now all the emergency is going to everything the bridge is swaying yeah no i remember
that the 1994 oh god i hate now everyone knows how old we are yeah the 1994 northridge earthquake
um which was like i don't know an hour and a half from where i grew up but we felt it so strongly
i remember my dad scary running up the stairs picking me up and running me down and watching
the light fixtures swing so hard.
Come on, Blanche.
Family got a chandelier at the house.
Yeah, you put that on me.
I was like, no, baby, you had a chandelier.
Because poor people's lights don't swing.
They just, it's a nipple in the ceiling.
Yeah, I want...
You know what I mean?
You know what?
Now that you say that,
thank you for giving me another thing to aspire to.
Like, I need a chandelier.
Yeah.
But also, we had,
you know when you're supposed to put like,
what is it, over the light bulbs?
What do you call that?
The glass thing?
yeah where you said the little dish thing yeah the dish yeah we didn't have that
it was naked the light bulbs were naked and they broke they also broke so then what happened how
what was like the cleanup process it was long it was long everybody had to you know basically all
that stuff is broken that stuff is gone and the streets they had to come and clean the streets
because it had
basically
uneven the streets
oh my god
it was so
that's what I'm saying
how did she get to the hospital
I want to see the photo
no she was already in
the hospital
she was giving birth
yeah
so it was like
whenever anybody talks about
an earthquake
I was like
y'all don't even know
oh yeah
you went through
you were in the real one
that was the scariest
I should
we are literally
going to go inside
of the concrete
that's like one of the worst
ones like ever
ever
highest damage
on the Richter scale
pictures of it
this is northridge no that was the san francisco one oh scary scary scary yeah so you know what
blair that's the thing that they try to tell um women you don't want to die alone you don't want
to be alone like it's so scary like i don't know who's gonna be there that's actually my problem
you can have part of my mess and i know you understand it well is like i have built a life
that i genuinely love so much and i'm so fulfilled by the i'm so as we all are so fucking busy one
we're traveling constantly right i'm also like i have low stamina compared to my peers um low
stamina in terms of what like tiredness oh you know like i need like after the road and stuff
like i need a couple days of just like rest to recover yeah like i need more recovery whatever
anyways and then like i am very i put a lot of my heart and soul into my friendships you know
i have a lot of like deep fulfilling nourishing relationships i love my work and i'm so i love
my family i like whenever i'm not working with my friends i'm with my family and so it's like
i have a full life that i'm happy with like i don't and i don't like enjoy going out dating
what i love to like be in love and be with like someone i adored yes but i hate the process and
like when i was when i was in my 20s it was like i always had a boyfriend because i was like
naturally out yeah in my my regular life had me out and it was just so easy to meet people
and it was just like a seamless experience now it's like for me to go meet someone i have it's
like an unnatural experience you gotta leave your house or it's just like i have to go on an app
or i have to like answer a dm or you gotta work on your perm it's like it's yeah
i've been doing lots of beauty treatments because you know like i've been in such deep grief
that i've been trying all sorts of stuff to make myself feel better for fun i will say the russian
manicure is incredible what is the russian manicure it's like it's basically what sucks
about it is that you have to sit for so long it's basically a way more in-depth uh manicure
that lasts way longer and is like way higher quality manicure and it's without water you
don't use water yeah no water yeah they spend so much time it's it's very meticulous extremely
your hands are no these are nice thanks i don't feel that way i'm like i'm just like touching oh
thank you i really appreciate that it's baby baby this is this is work this is work for me but yeah
no this is very nice i don't feel that way i'm i'm surprised you think that no these these are
really very yeah i gotta stop looking at them if you have like long thick shiny hair then i think
that loose uh curl perm would work out for you i just had a vision for myself that nobody let me
know wasn't going to be able to be executed for my type of hair you said that you have a lot of
friends that you put into why didn't they you didn't run that by them i didn't run it by anyone
i don't run things by people really i feel like that's there's like maybe three different types
of people in the world right yeah one that's sydney they run through everything with everybody
yeah don't to get up please for research for research purposes sydney does run everything
fire everybody. And then there's people
who just do, and then
they don't run it by nobody, and your
friends are looking at you later like, well, why didn't you?
Yeah, I mean, but that was like a rare anomaly.
I was like, I already have curly hair, you know.
And it's, you know, it's not like
some tragic thing. At least I didn't get bangs.
You know, and Farrah. Hey!
You said you didn't get tragic bangs.
No, bangs look good on some people.
They didn't look good on me. I had wanted them my whole life,
and it's like when you don't have something.
I feel like I remember you with bangs. You look good with bangs.
Oh, thanks. Farrah literally took me to the
forest um to do mushrooms to tell me that i need to grow out my bangs and at the and at the time i
was so like i was so hurt but then i was like oh no that's every last bit she's the only one who
told me you know she had to get you high yeah and take you in the woods nah bitch that's that no
that's grounds for hey i think i need a break i need to take some space from you that was really
fun it was the first time we did mushrooms it was cool i'm having a good ass trip and then you
to hold my hand and you're like so yeah no i the bang that's it that's it it hurt you know i'm hurt
yeah but i feel like looking back i was like i think she was right the shrooms open you up and
maybe her eyes were like whoa yeah you know what bangs are a no for you yeah maybe the bangs fucked
up her high and that's why she had to tell you that i probably you know when i look back they
fuck up my high so you know i don't know i farrah you're a good friend girl farrah farrah brooke we
love you down we love you Sarah listen listen listen I get it I have lived alone for a minute
I don't imagine I can't see a world where I live with a man and I'm happy with him
being there in a one bedroom with me so a one bedroom he don't have to live across the street
a one bedroom is just not that's crazy it's barely big enough for me no I can barely fit
all my clothes me and all my if I got a two bedroom I want the other bedroom to be my closet
100%
facts
100%
so Blair I'm glad
you really came thick
with the mess
oh yeah
you got it
no I have endless mess
you bought some mess
out of us actually
you did
I love that
stuff that I never
thought that I would share
I'm so thrilled
like Marie hold my hand
do you know
oh can I tell you
something really fast too
you're being transparent
because we all
started together
we did
and it was so
much fun
and like
you guys
and I tell this to everyone
because
when I came here
from Orange County
and I was so sheltered
and like one of the we were your first black friends you were not
you were not my first black that's not true because she had a black boyfriend
i had okay she had i also played sports at ucla i had a lot of black friends my bad um no but
i was gonna say my what i was gonna say is i when i my idea of what comedy was back then and like
where we were it was like you know free me to all that i had this idea that i had to have my whole
body covered up and it's like internalized misogyny from like a republican place that i
wasn't aware of obviously that i had to like have my whole body covered up to have like men listen
to my words on stage and then i met you guys and like we all became friends and it was so much fun
and you guys like look because i love to dress up and i love clothes but not i still don't like to
have people look at my body on stage but when i saw you guys and you guys changed it all for like
all the younger generations too because all the younger like kids now it all came from you too
they showing titties no but you guys came in with like you were like it is for us also not only are
we gonna be so funny and so talented but for us this is also our runway and we don't care if it's
ugly disgusting male
I'm in a basement
gout faces
we're gonna make it hot
yeah
and I always thought
it was so cool
thank you Blair
they are acknowledging
what we've done
to the comedy community
here in New York City
I fully say this
because you know
how people will be like
oh yeah
John Early and Caperlay
like they
they launch a whole like
alt classes
and it's 100% true
like a lot of people
are derivatives of them
but
all the
comedy
not dressing like shit
I 100%
feel that you two were the first and that it all stemmed from you two 100 i believe it too
because when i when i started doing stand-up i remember thinking like i would see what people
were wearing and it was like what the fuck are you doing you gotta look like you don't give a
damn for people to think you're funny but my logic was always i remember you saying this right even
if you don't think i'm funny you gonna think i look great yeah i said i'm not i'm never gonna
bomb and look like shit and i was like i will bomb and look like shit um no but i remember you
guys saying that all the time and i and i love it you might not laugh but you're gonna be like
yeah yeah and sometimes it the set didn't go that well and people still come up to me like
so what's your instagram i want to follow you i want to see what what else you're up to and it's
like yeah because sometimes sets don't go go well but presentation i know presentation yeah i love
that yeah yeah so thank you like when you people when you think about where we are now with stand
up like people buy tickets to see us they it's different they get a babysitter they yeah but you
guys were doing this that's a hundred percent different in basements that is like they're
coming to an actual like paid i'm talking about when we were young like we were doing these shitty
ass shows and you guys came in fully dressed it was incredible it's still a night out for these
people you know what i mean like but it was incredible because you guys are the first to do
it and now the girls are dressed yeah they were like yeah you you can't wear shorts on stage
no who can't wear shorts on stage yeah I will once in a while wear shorts I'll do it in LA
because there's some rooms in the sometimes where the air conditioner won't work in the summer
yeah and you just can't breathe yeah listen we're doing it we provided maybe bleep that out
So I don't get my spots.
Let's read a message and then mosey on out of here.
Hi, Marie and Sydney.
I've been looking for some advice recently and realize you both may just be the best to give it.
I'm a 33 year old woman who has never been in a serious relationship before.
That's OK, girl. You're fine. You're not missing a day.
You're really not.
Yeah, I came out as a lesbian in high school and really and really stuck with that identity through my teens and 20s.
And although never got into anything serious, as I'm getting a little older, I'm finding myself attracted to men.
Oh, no, sorry. My bad.
and wanting to go on some dates to see what happens.
20-year-old me would be in disbelief.
Here's my problem.
I've never had sex with a man.
And ooh, that's a gold star lesbian,
just in case y'all didn't know.
Never having sex with a man.
And haven't fooled around with one in over a decade.
And it was only drunken antics in the past.
I now feel super insecure about my inexperience
and can't stop thinking about any man
in his 30s or 40s
will find all of this weird and a turnoff.
that's that's not true girl that is simply actually gonna love it sis yes yeah like and
like marie said they're just happy to be there they wouldn't even probably know also because
a lot of them aren't super aware um unless you told them and also stop worrying about what they
like we're here for what you like okay well hold on one second let me finish it let me round it out
one additional thing to consider is that i definitely need to be emotionally connected
with someone to have any desire to do
anything sexual. I agree, sister.
That's 100% me. Will I find a man
that will have the patience for all of this?
How do I even begin to address
this with him? Should I have sex
with someone I'm not into just to get
the nerves out? Probably not,
but I'm considering it.
Maria, that is not
what I'm thinking. Yes, no.
Right. I appreciate
any thoughts you may have. I've tried
to talk about this with some of my friends and they just
don't get it. Thanks, Em.
your friends need to be nicer
maybe her friends are all lesbians
and they're looking at her like why would you want to do that
they're like really worried
I'm the same way
like I can
I don't have casual hookups
like I'm only attracted to someone if I'm
emotionally attracted to them
is that a sapio sex
yes but I try to do a joke about this
because I'm just like well yeah
like shouldn't you generally like the
person you're having sex with
going inside you
yeah um but i think but that's not true ask a lot of married women and married men they be like i
don't even know if i like this person but i guess i gotta go inside listen i had a little i had a
situation ship that i was having great sex with i didn't like him that's different though is it
yeah because it's like that tension of like like not like adds to like the sexual fire
unconsciously okay he kind of knew i didn't like him so he tried his to work harder yeah they all
fucking do that no they don't they don't all try their best they really don't a lot they come there
like for themselves yeah sometimes they come in there like it's a job they've been at for like
three years and they're just like yeah i'm clocking in and clocking out so it's not anything about
that but i just mean if they think that you're not a hundred percent about them that's when they feel
inspired to leave it all on the floor yeah you know and so i think that like enables that's what
i think keeps situationships going for so long is because it's like that uncertainty like if you're
in the very secure thing of course like it's natural for things to get boring you know without
that like friction that built-in friction but this girl like i would say well first you're
gonna have to date and honey look i i have i have just as much resistance as you yeah but if you
have to be attracted to them i would say if you're gonna do it for the first time and you have so
much so many nerves about it make sure it's with a really nice person that hopefully cares about
you at least as a friend like deeply so that they're going to be like make it a nice experience
for you and be like aware of your how emotionally charged it seems to be there's on to something
yeah maybe have sex with a male friend a male friend that you're like he's always been here
no matter what and he claims that he's just a friend but i don't know the way he's like giving
me his jacket one time he don't want to be just my friend so maybe try there yeah somebody's like
invested in your in your well-being yeah even if it's like not romantic i agree with that if you
if you needed to get it done i'm saying i don't know i'm not mad at that yeah what about you marie
what do you think i agree i think she should hook up with a male friend because the apps are going
to disappoint you they are and if you need to be emotionally invested in a man before you speak
with them. Sis.
Them apps are not going to help you. The stock is down
right now.
The Dow, the dick Dow
is down 5,000
points. You know what I mean?
So, yeah, if you're saying
that you want to, she just wants to have sex with a man.
That's it. Yeah, and I will
tell you as a lesbian who was going
on dates with men and telling them
I was a lesbian, they don't care.
They don't care at all. No, they like the challenge.
Yeah, they literally don't care. And there was
one guy that was like, you're not really a lesbian.
and I was like you'll see that's the most that is the most male ego thing you'll see and that man
was texting me up the wazoo I wouldn't I would not respond he's like I was like man come on now I'm
I'm good I'm a lesbian I'll thank you so much for whatever you did but I'm all set and he was like
but I miss you I was like no you don't you don't know I I hooked up with you once what are you
talking about do you feel that you're a full lesbian now like after that a full lesbian like
after you were going on dates with guys as a lesbian yeah is that what you're saying
i see what you're trying to repeat it to me and i know what i said no no i'm asked i'm not trying
to she said you really you gay gay yeah i mean like did that experience you're like oh i'm not
100 not attracted to men yeah it made me realize that i'm like whatever that was the like going
back into is because it was like i've done it before so it wasn't going to be that hard
but leaving leaving it I was like that was not for me because I had so much real clear yeah there
was so much like anxiety and shame in it it was just like this is dumb like I don't even feel
good this doesn't make me feel good after work you know yeah it's kind of like drugs and alcohol
yeah no that's that's sad that's like what men are no it is it's like god they're like poison
it was not it was not the move all men are not poisoned they're not
i always say this this is what's hard and especially once you get older and like you have
you know done self-reflection and inner work and stuff it's like what i would need for a man to add
to my life is like they have to be absolutely incredible you know and that's a small like i
look at relationships and there's like 10 to 15 maybe 20 percent of like relationships of people
that I observe where I'm like oh yeah that looks nice like they look like they really like each
other I could I would like that it's like a very small number it's not like I'm out here being like
wow I wish I had that to a lot of people a lot of people I see I'm like I do not envy that at all
I mean every time I'm on TikTok I'm seeing what the people are doing I'm like
it's nothing that y'all are doing is drawing me you know what i mean no i think it's like if you
don't if your life isn't that exciting or whatever it inherently puts more focus on that
need for a relationship or want and that's why it's so hard for people to understand when you're
not dying to not be single because we fulfill baby we can be fulfilled the whole the whole is
open but i'm fulfilled yeah well not open no you're in love yeah i'm in love but i i was just
the hole is open yeah my back is closed my legs i would love to be in love in a way where it seems
to be older generations where they just like accidentally met someone at the train station
and they were like the love of their life and they were like they were really nice and they
wanted to and they're a really good person but they're also like wanted to fuck them and i was
like this is another reason why i feel like this summer is gonna be a good summer because we're
gonna be more outside yeah yeah and i'm also trying to i'm ordering less from amazon i'm
ordering less stuff online i'm going out to get it because i feel like maybe i'll meet somebody
on the bus so maybe i'll change your perspective i think you should i know i need to my mom always
wants me to dress up for the airport she's like you're in the delta lounge i'm like yeah you in
the delta lounge put something cute on i know but i'm like 6 a.m is a little tough the lounge is
kind of letting everybody in there now and it's packed
so don't go crazy
she's not wrong about it being
packed it's packed it is packed
but it's packed full of opportunity
it's packed full of people who might see you
in your linen pants
it's just somebody who got a
card they got enough credit their credit score
is over the it's 720 for the
we want my credit
score I'm gonna say I'm gonna share it I'm gonna be vulnerable
with y'all today
six
17 and it's on the rise and that's it coming up we're changing the perspective it was lower than
that it was six it was yeah it was in the box i put everything on auto pay because it's like
the little shit that like will fuck you i can't do that i can't do auto pay because i used to pay
my rent with auto pay no and they charged me rent twice in one month oh no well no and i just
happened to check my balance that
day. Don't trust the system.
Okay? So that's why I won't do
auto pay. It's on my terms.
I don't pay my bills until I get that final
termination notice. Okay? They'd be like,
turn it off. I'd be like, let me just pay it real quick.
I love that.
I'd be like, okay.
Blair,
we love you down. I'm so glad you were able to
see the evolution of what we've been
doing. This is such a treat for me. I just
adore you guys. I get so happy to see you both.
It's so much fun.

What a messy and fulfilling
episode. Yeah. We appreciate you.
I'm fulfilled.
I'm fulfilled.
Friendship fulfills you.
What did we learn today? Take your tampon out.
Take your tampon out.
You gotta take your tampon out. And know where the urgent care is.
Plungers for sure
I'm not getting a new plunger
I gotta move
Yeah and if we can go back in time
And invent the Uber app
That would be great
That would be helpful
I think take your tampon out is so
Imperative
Oh earthquake go under the doorway
Not in the shower not in front of a glass case
No you need to be in the doorway
In the doorway
But now when the building falls I don't feel like the doorways are still standing
how was like that meme with the math yeah I was like I never thought about that but what I do
think about is I love that you guys are on our youtubes make sure you're following subscribing
all of that keep sending us messages and it's up to y'all to let us to make sure that we grow so
keep reposting keep engaging let everybody know that they're missing out on truly the best podcast
out here. Go ahead and share this episode with one person.
Actually, ten people. Ten people?
Yeah, that would be great. Share it with your
friend who got the tampon stuck. Yes.
There's that one girl in that group.
Share it with your friend you feel like would help
you take it out. Ooh.
That's a good, I love friendship. That's actually less people.
That's less people. There's two types of girls.
The girl that's getting their tampon stuck, and then
there's a girl that is a
friend that's going to pull it out. Yeah.
And we have that here. Yeah.
I would get, I'd have to get a
hazmat mask, but I would, if I was
needed, like, look, I wouldn't love it.
I'm not trying to get that dirty ass stance on, but I
would do it 100%. It's crazy.
I'll never forget that moment. I don't
know if there's anybody I would do that for.
I love you down, girl. I don't know if I'll do that.
I'm just glad no one's asked me.
Okay, you guys have a good, messy
day. Bye.
