things that will make my butt look good your butt looks good no no no no see it's
There's a difference between having, like, pants that make your butt look good.
But then a bathing suit, there's only a little bit of fabric on it ass.
So, I'm looking at stuff that's, like, things that I can really thirst trap.
I'm thirst trapping in 2019.
Like, Brazilian cut thong.
Like, a string, almost.
But I need the fabric to, like, lift shit up and then rearrange the labia.
Like, I need stuff to push things.
That sounds like you're going to get a full coverage suit, sis.
a string is not gonna support the butt listen I just want to do as much as I can to be on this
earth on this earth to be Beth and I feel like I don't utilize my body enough you know I have it
why not like I don't have any pitch I don't have any nudes in my in my phone no that's a lie friend
I don't maybe maybe this is a new phone because I feel like you know used to have nudes in your
like four years ago
I barely post my body
or take pictures
and I'm just like
what the fuck
does it look like
I just took a picture
of my vagina the other day
just be like
is it okay

what
you gotta take a picture
of your vagina
to send to somebody
no
or just so you could
zoom in and see
what's happening down there
you gotta look at your body
well you know
sex in the city says
you gotta use like
a hand mirror
and like look at it
nah sis
I was using my
pixelated six
sis you had to put it
on portrait mode
you gotta put your pussy
on portrait mode
Yeah, I don't have that.
I don't have that.
I was just looking at it because I haven't, like, looked at it in a minute.
Like, I know it's there.
You got any gray hairs down there?
Asking, you know, because.
Man.

yeah like a sazerac a sidecar yeah that's exactly that's what my vagina will be drinking a dirty ass
martini yeah i see oh and then um and then one more thing it's um i've been writing like little
notes to myself just to remind myself like you're amazing or you know you were thinking that bad
thought that's a bad thought that's not real where are you writing these these notes i'm like on
paper yeah but like in like do you have a book that's like dedicated to this so you can look
through it no no no wherever i am if i'm like home if i'm like if i have like a little napkin
or something i'm just trying to remind myself that my thoughts are not real sis i love this
except for like when you out and you're doing it on a napkin people might could think you crazy
that's fine i want i want people to think this is what i think you should do you should get a you
should get a gratitude jar you should get a jar like a pretty jar from like the dollar store near
me has like really nice ones and then you just like put little strips of paper and write a thing
whatever you're whatever you're reminding yourself write these notes and then drop them in the jar
girl that's real pinterest real blogger on instagram yes i've had this jar for three years
and there are three pieces of paper in it but i'm just saying so you can see it yeah like and if
you're feeling away at any time just pick one up read it throw it back in the jar or throw it away
yeah that way like because i'm asking where you're writing like where you're keeping these because
you're writing them but like when you feel a way and writing it doesn't make you feel better you
should be able to like look back at what you wrote to yourself yeah i'm just afraid that i'm gonna
open the jar and i'm gonna read this stuff and i'm like damn i was thinking that or oh girl what's
going on but it's supposed to be positive stuff that i thought you were writing on these no i am

the same bed with somebody really friend or partner with the fan on or the ac running or you
just like a cracked window or something let me tell you teacher of memory went to dc and we had
to share an air mattress and when I tell
you the dread that was on Marie's face
like I gotta fucking
sleep with this bitch and I was all over
the place. Well because Sydney seems like
somebody like I feel like if you look
at us you would feel like I sleep in like a
little ball and you know Sydney sleeps
wild. Wild and this is the air mattress
mind you. And then didn't you pop
the air mattress? I popped the air mattress
I was taking all the cover. Marie was like
oh we not doing this for two more nights
Sharing an air mattress is fucked
Listen an air mattress is so
Solo is problematic.
You're just like, it's just me and this bag of wind.
Listen, Rachel, I feel like me and you will be fine in a bed, you know?
So if I come visit you in LA.
Y'all would suffocate each other if you slept in the same bed.
Literally, you would both die.
Smother each other.
We'll die together, you know, with our Peabody Award.
Like that old couple on the Titanic.
You guys are just, okay.
That is beautiful.
We're the band.
We go down.
What are you going to be playing?
We go down to the ship.
I'll be violin.
i'm the bass i'm the bass big ass thing a cello
marie's been on a boat for an hour i'm somebody who picked up someone else's kid and is like
she's all i have i'm the dude that's like elbowing women in the face like but i'm younger than them
so mitra you were you're like an expert of bad luck now how did this start how did this happen
like i think first one was um a lot in high school i injure myself a lot like not a lot of bad stuff
it's usually my fault so like um what for example um i'm a soccer player i played like from five
till now and
bend it like Beckham
and I
I usually play
like forward or mid and that's like who's
shooting on goal and I one time
was getting like throttled by this chick
she kept like
that's not gay throttled?
I was getting pounded out by this chick
what number
was her jersey?
number nine
throttled by this chick that just kept pounding you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, pounding, pounding, and I got really upset, and I took the angriest
shot on goal that I'd ever taken.
It bounced off the goal post, hit me in the face, and when I came to, I was blind in one
eye.
Wait, you were Rachel's in one eye.
She gave me money.
You were Stevie Wonder.
Yeah, that song's actually about me.
Wait, you hit the ball so hard that it bounced off the post, hit you in the face.
It didn't hit the girl that you were mad at in the face.
Me in the face.
you were blind in one eye
blind in one eye when I came to
for two weeks
it was so scary
and so when I came to one of the
parents on the sidelines like came
over and he was like I'm a doctor I'm a doctor
I told him I was like I was crying
I was like I can't see out of one of my eyes
and he's like okay well it's either
gonna be an inflamed iris or a detached
retina so if you have a
detached retina my eye just like
twitched when you said that and he was like
if it's a detached retina it's gonna be like
this forever and so i'm just like hysterical why would he tell you that right i know whole time
he's just a dentist yeah he's like it might be a um let me look look at my google detached
retainer so you're sobbing you can only see out of one eye yeah and then it was like a lot of
testing and all that kind of stuff and it ended up being an inflamed iris but for like years one
of my pupils was way bigger than the other oh my god so people were like are you high a little bit
a little bit what did the eye look like to other people it looked pretty much the same except for
my my like uh my pupil was so you had one black eye yeah it really it was like you couldn't really
see like the other parts of it i was just the iris so you could not see anything no and then
gradually it came back and then it was like a finger sort of blocking the bottom half of my eye
and when you crack your phone screen
and you can't really see the camera
it's just like that
so when you were going out
did you go out while you had that one eye
not working because you'd be out in the club
and you're like well
I was in high school
but yeah I was pretty much just
staying home in the dark
it was like very sensitive
because I would go out I would just use it to my benefit
oh I can't really see out of one eye
your death perception must have been trash
were you walking into walls and stuff
I'm sure I just remember being so
scared the whole time oh terrified
I'm scared now here I would lean into it
I would just want all the sympathy
I mean I would really love
if you guys could take me out you know because I'm like
partially blind I'd be like sis we're
in third period right now we'll text you
after class
I'm like can you just do the test for me
because I can't really see
you should I mean you can it's something
no one can prove it you can do it
you can do it now
now if
I'm asking both of you guys
if you guys were blind
in an eye
for like life
would you do an eye patch
or like a swoop bang
okay
would it be eye patch
or a little swoop
over the eye
would you need it
like if you're
if you're blind
I don't know
I feel like I gotta do
something dramatic
I feel like I would do
an eye patch
I would definitely do patch
I would not do bang
because I got curly hair
that looks fucked
with bangs
I don't like it
I don't like hair
I feel like Sydney
would do a swoop bang
nah I would just wear
color contacts
you know
what
I'll just wear color contacts.
Should draw more attention to the lazy eye, to the mad eye.
I would just get blue contacts.
I'd be like, you know what?
Oh, my God.
You know, you got to be different.
Just a sapphire eye.
Amethyst, amethyst.
Just purple.
Yeah, purple.
I'd get me some purple color contacts.
Man, that was a big thing in my high school.
Oh, me too.
People loved those purple contacts.
I had them.
Oh, my brother had a pair.
I had them.
And we cried we were laughing at him so hard.
We were like, you black ass.
you think he thought
he was Elizabeth Taylor
or whatever
there were so many girls
in my house
who were like
no these are just my eyes
this is just the way
that I look
well I had them
and I got them from
the beauty supply store
so they were bootleg
and they turned my eyes
like bloodshot red
so I had purple eyelids
no
no purple eyes
and then everything around
it was pink
and they were like
you look like a lab rat
what's going on
you look crazy
well you were
you were
they were testing the product
oh yeah
i thought you're gonna see you got them from canal street that's crazy i think my brother
might have got his on canal street i don't know how red his eyes got but we laughed he got like a
a bunch of colors he got like gray he got hay and we were like this is terrible why not you gotta
you gotta try it don't knock it till you try it uh so you got your vision back got vision back
Then the next one was I was getting – I was making cookies when I was in high school.
High school was rough for you, huh?
Were you blind while you were making these cookies?
I was not, which will – I wish I was because – okay.
So I was getting – I was holding the cookie sheet, trying to get the cookies off, and they were a little bit burnt.
And I had a metal spatula, and I jammed the metal – like the spatula got stuck.
I jammed it into my finger.
Your other hand.
Yeah. On the other hand. So like blunt force trauma. And it I got cut open and I I didn't really like it happened. It was so hard and so like fast, so fast that I didn't really feel anything.
So you got blood on the cookies. I got blood on the cookies. Just not all. So I was eating the cookies and my mom my mom came into the living room and she was like, what's going on?
I was like bleeding profusely into a towel.
But these cookies is cute.
I was like, no, it's no big deal.
It's fine.
I like cut myself on the spatula, whatever.
It's fine.
And I was like gushing blood.
And my mom was like, we have to go to the hospital.
And I was like, I don't know.
I don't know.
It's fine.
So I like got her to take me to Wendy's on the way to the hospital.
And then we got there.
By the time we got there, I was in like agonizing pain.
Turned out I'd like cut it like all the way to the bone.
I needed six stitches.
I still have the scar.
Oh, my God.
it's okay but what kind of cookies were you making yeah was it chocolate chip or oatmeal
chocolate chip okay yeah i mean that's worth it that's worth it if you did oatmeal for all that
oatmeal raisin what is your life also do you remember what you got from wendy's on the way
i remember i got a mcflurry and fries and dipped in the mcflurry worth it yes yes worth it oh yeah
a frosty yeah um i've been thinking about mcflurries a lot recently do they still make
they still do an extra oreo i've been really wanting one but i can't do dairy really
right now none of us can we're not really supposed to be having dairy we're not and i
yeah i'm trying to just i'm trying to actually listen to my body and not uh
force dairy into it oh you get that that's that la mentality right now
it's because i keep fucking like shitting my pants
okay so this is another one um one time so there's two of them sis that's too many times
that's too many times
I know
I had no idea
so I was walking out of
the first time was when I was walking out
of my boyfriend at the time his place
it was like
New Year's Eve
2016
so the anniversary is upon us
and I'm walking out of the place
and then like a block away from his
apartment I shit my pants
and it's like freezing outside
Wait, hold on.
Were you on drugs?
No.
Did you have a cheese pizza?
Like, what's up?
I really don't remember what led to it.
I just remember being like, this had never happened to me before.
And I was like, I don't know.
Oh, this is what happened.
You needed to poop real bad.
You didn't want to poop at his house because you're like, oh, he gonna know I took a dump in here.
Let me run home.
And then, you know, the closer you get to your house, the more you feel it.
It must have been like right around the corner from your house.
I was half an hour walk away from my house.
why would you be walking you get a cab boo you said it was cold it was cold on new year's eve
i was in a skirt and tights we were like tragic tragic it was fucked so but you know what that's
the best thing to do if you have tight because it's tight you know it just it's in there it's
slowly sliding down your sliding sliding sliding so i was like okay well i can't go back up there
well hold on what kind of stool was it
was it hard or was it
it was soft
girl you need to get some more vegetables in your life
I mean I've made some
significant changes since this happened
it really put a lot of stuff into perspective
because the moment that happened I was like oh
mortality is upon me
I cannot control my body
everything is deteriorating I'm not in control
or or
I don't know I might be getting into your business too much
but if you had did like anal that
week you know the rectum is not
that strong. It's a little
loose. Sadly Jess Diet had not been
ass bucked that week.
Nobody was throttling that anus
nobody was pounding that butt.
So what do you do?
I feel like I'm not getting in an Uber
I'm gonna sit in this poop.
It's New Year's Eve you can't get a cat.
And I was like I gotta go home and I gotta like get ready
for New Year's so I
This is like during the day
I was leaving
My boyfriend's place
You took
You pooped your pants
When the sun was up
The sun was up
This was during the day
This was during the day
This is a nightmare
It is a nightmare
And so I
I'm like

way of course i mean this happened you know three years ago just know that yeah well know that i'm
i'm i'm past it yeah it made you stronger because it happened again yeah it did happen again

the stomach just not yeah it was so it was so dark i mean but great news was dark no no the
emotionally dark it was emotionally dark to be in that space okay so you had on some athletic
shorts what i think though is i think like small joggers with like the like the high cut like on
the side and like they have like those sewn in white briefs yes it was a small jogger with a
built-in underwear friend my friend like and they were tight too and i never um i never go commando
like this is like the maybe the first time you need to start traveling with an extra set of
well now i now i know but yeah but would the panties make a difference like you would have
shit on everything no i feel like the shorts no i need like a full costume change it's a built-in
draw like panty but they're loose they're loose they're right they're not meant to be worn alone
but right yeah so so okay first of all what were you looking for i was looking for um like fun
bachelorette party hope it was worth dick straws yeah okay great got it yeah and you're looking
through and you had no warning or you just like you were like oh i feel a little funny i i like
wasn't feeling great but i was just like i think i'm just tired i'm traveling and like there had
been a wedding and then back to back there was going to be that and a bachelorette party so
what are you in when this happened i was uh i was looking at lays like hawaiian lays i remember
standing by them because i just was like i was like wow like party city smells so bad and i was
like oh my oh you didn't even realize that it says you gotta get your butt tightened yeah it's
fucked you gotta do buck eagles it's not okay what happens to me i'm not in control um wait what
happened you pooped yourself and then what happened you walked home like squish squish squish i went
into the single stall bathroom at the party city locked myself in and washed my shorts in the sink
and then they have like a little dryer you were like
ma'am ma'am ma'am i was in there for a full like at least 20 minutes oh yeah absolutely
ma'am hello are you okay if you're not buying anything you have to leave yeah
what and i did finish the transaction because i was like i got i'm not going to come back
so i like you can return to the scene imagine you like crime no imagine you buy stuff because
you're just like i just shit in on myself and in the bathroom so i have to buy something
Also, okay, so this is, because for the visual listeners, so you're washing your doo-doo shorts in the sink.
Are you having to smush some of the poop down?
Because I feel like some of it is stained.
That is not sanitary, friends.
I know.
But what else?
What else?
What would you do?
You left poop all in that sink.
You're a poo-poo expert.
It's fucked.
Do not.
That's what you are.
Diarrhea expert.
Do not.
I would never want to have sex
because I'd be afraid
that something was going to come up.
That my butt was just going to open up.
Bloop, bloop, bloop.
Yeah.
I think I've got my life
a little more figured out now.
Okay.
It is dark.
Moving forward.
Okay, just before,
every time you leave your house,
just maybe in a little Ziploc bag,
throw some clean drawers in it,
just in case.
Yeah.
You need backup.
Okay, I have another.
This is much more recent.
I got a migraine for the first time
I've never had a migraine before
they're terrible and I didn't know
what was happening
I really don't even get headaches very often
but it was all the stuff
the next day I was like oh I think that's
what that was
I was sensitive to light, I was really nauseous
that sounds like a concussion sis
no
and then
I was going to see
my friend's family took me to see that
Harry Potter Broadway play
they like had an extra ticket was it good
it was so nice it was like
it was it was great you're not gonna
drag it okay oh yeah she said nice because
when women call men nice that means
they're ugly yeah they're like well they tried
right no you're like you're like oh when your
friends are like is he cute and you're like he's he's really
nice he's alive yeah
he's so nice that means
he's ugly yeah I I loved it because
like for a couple reasons I had
just had like a really like major
lost that week and it was very nice to go see something very like familiar and just spend the
day doing that and like a new story within like a childhood okay thing that a thing that was
important to me so you were just happy to be there also you didn't pay so that's a two i did not pay
and like the production value is like crazy like it's just it's like it's just a huge spectacle
it was really it was is that show still on broadway oh okay i've never seen any of that
It was really fun.
Do your friends have extra tickets?
I don't know.
Like two tickets.
Two more tickets.
Loose tickets.
I'll make a call.
Loose like your butt.
I'm on my way to see Harry Potter
and I'm in Times Square
and I take a lift
because I was feeling sick and I knew that I was going to
throw up. I was like, I just know that this
is going to happen. I need to find
a bathroom i feel so fucking sick um i'm running around times square
why did you just throw up out it's times square it's dirty well everybody's always throwing up
right you'll see uh so the only trash cans i can find are like the mail slot ones you have to like
pull open and it's like a little a little bucket so i'm not gonna throw up there um then i go into
like the europa cafe there's a million person line i was like i need to and then i just ran out and
was like oh my god so i i'm like you know what i'm actually just gonna get in line for the show
and i'll just throw up when i get in there i think i'm feeling okay you think you can wait that long
i was like i sort of felt like i felt the the panic go down a little bit and i was like okay
let's like seize this moment just get inside the place and we already know you don't really have
control of your body like that well i mean so you know how the story ends so i go see my friend and
six of her family members give her a hug she's like how are you doing i was like i'm really good
i'm gonna throw up and then i threw up on the street in front of her whole family and 150 people
in line for harry potter and then you just were like she's pregnant you know no then you're just
like wiping your face i was like some water yeah i was like and then we went for a walk and i was
like i'm really scared i don't think they're gonna let me in and then there are two entrances
like different parts of the street so we just got in line at the other entrance honestly i feel like
that in new york city people are always throwing up it's totally fine it's nothing new nobody like
there's nowhere to go
why would you not just throw up
like plan to throw up in the street
is what I'm saying like I didn't want to
between two buildings cause she's a classy
woman yeah she shits in her pants
but she doesn't throw up okay
she's not that violated not in public
not like that okay she was raised
better than that I'm so
scarred I was like I can't
I'm trying to save myself from
those situations I
feel like I've only ever
thrown up sober in public
i think i was gonna say once but i think it was twice now weren't you hung over wait didn't you
throw up in the train station i threw up i had and you because i feel it you feel when you're
about you're like oh no i'm about to throw up you you you had to get off the train because like
smells and i was hung over and i was on my period that's what that's what it was so like smells and
colors and people talking was pissing me do you have a bad period i mean i did that day yeah uh
and i jumped off the train and i threw up in the garbage and then i was like oh the train is still
here I can get back on but the the moment that I was thinking about was I think I was going to an
audition or something and I wasn't hungover and I wasn't sick I just felt funny and I was in I was
on the like in Greenwich Village or something like that and just it was like a little construction
area I threw up kept it moving and it was like a bunch of dudes like working across the street
that were just like watching me walk away and somebody was like that's nasty and I was like
your nest
I'm pregnant
yeah that's what happened
I threw up in a cab during the day
and the guy was so nice
because he thought like oh you're just pregnant
like it's fine
you threw up in the cab or you threw up hanging out the window
no in the cab I wasn't in an Uber it was a yellow cab
but he was like
oh you know what just take care of yourself
get something to eat I know you and the baby
are going through a lot
he's like I know you're probably a single mom
I picked you up from Harlem
so I know you're doing bad
wait have you ever
threw up and pooped at the same time
that happened to me
food poisoning
oh I haven't had food poisoning
knock on wood
you've had everything else
don't even try to act like you're better than me
no no no I'm surprised
I have not had food poisoning
what's the next story
um i got i got all the the main ones uh oh oh yeah i shit only blood at work one time whoa
that's not that's not doo-doo that's you're just dying dude yeah yeah this was when i was at
full frontal uh full frontal samantha b that show yeah okay and i it was like the my it was the
first it was we were it was the first day of work it was the first day of work we were going to it
was like this crazy few weeks because we were filming an episode that was like taking we were
filming it on a bus and then the next week we're going to the republican national convention and
the following week we're going to the democratic national that would make me poop blood too so i
was like the most stressed i'd ever been in my life and i was like are like a person had just
left the show and so there was just like a lot of like extra work to do and picking up that slack
and so everyone was just freaking the fuck out and it was all new stuff and then i went to the
bathroom and i was like i looked down it was just blood and i was like sure wasn't beats if you had
beats that day okay okay because we i've been there oh so many times where you're like am i
oh no i have beats yeah it was beats will turn your p even like a little bit reddish yeah just
definitely blood okay so that morning you had done anal yes so that morning um oh yes i forgot
oh you forgot the astroglide huh quite dry whoopsie daisy that happens to all of us um
yeah so you've had a hard time with the butt but i feel like there is some positives like
you've written for a lot of shows yeah you poop but you're employed yeah yeah my body is
completely disintegrating from the inside out well i mean if something is happening have you
gone to the doctor to figure out like after you pooped blood did you i did finally go to like a
just a primary care doctor after that i'm really like i'm really bad about like maintenance sis
me too
all of us
you gotta listen to your body
yeah
that was enough for me
to be like
I should have like
a primary care physician
you got insurance
you have insurance
it's SAG right
yeah I'm WGA
so I'm on that insurance
okay word
writers guild of where
America
yeah
so you should definitely
be checking out that bud
every other month
yeah
so things are better now
things are okay
but it was just
it was just stress
they were like
if this keeps happening
you need to go to the hospital
but I think this is stress
I didn't know that was a
I didn't know that was
side effect of stress i'm stressed i should be pooping blood regularly fine yeah my butt is
perfect what do you what do you do for your sleep because i i have really terrible terrible sleep
and like habits not really sleep habits but if if i'm anxious i cannot i've been sleeping like
four hours a night for the past few weeks because i'm about to move and i'm just so worried about
that like what do you do to let me tell you what i've been trying this is well because when i was
a kid it would take me forever to fall asleep now i can't stay asleep yeah so i'd like listen to
music i have you done like asmr like i tried that melatonin is good i really i don't take anything
because i don't want to have to like depend on well i'm i'm i'm really scared of pills i don't
like melatonin is melatonin i do you just drops i like melatonin because i would never do like a
sleeping pill just because i know that like i'm a really obsessive like addicted person so i
same so how does them it's just that you get this at the drugstore yeah you can just get it at like
yeah you can just get it at a drugstore like a whole foods or whatever and you just take these
drops and it you take one or two you can do drops you can do pills i do the pills just because i
that's just what i buy and um it's just it just like helps you it helps me at least like get
through a night and i don't do it like every night but i if i'm like i've i've had like three days in
a row where i just cannot fucking stay asleep i take one and you gotta sleep it's so important
i mean what the thing that i've been doing is i'll smoke some indica before i brush my teeth
and then just hope that like it makes me fall asleep cbd helped me a little bit too i still
prefer melatonin but because i don't like i don't like to smoke i i'm not i'm not like a big weed
person but i like doing cbd because it just like i like i like stuff that like guides you to sleep
without making you do it it just like relaxes relaxes you a little bit yeah um yeah because
i'm trying like i what i what i also been doing is like i'll get in the bed with my laptop and
like watch something until i fall asleep but i don't want to i don't like i'm trying to have
like a laptop free phone free because that that's that's like that contributes to bad sleep too
the the screens well i'm not i won't watch i'll put it on and i'll listen yeah like last night
i was watching blue planet uh on netflix oh and you you know what you know what helped me too
is like having um having something in your room that like hums all night like i have a
i have like a humidifier in my room and that fire that and it's like yeah like the humidifier
doesn't hum but the fan does yeah that's good having having just like or people people really
love i don't have this but people love like white noise machines and stuff just to have like just
So I'm in the bed and it's like.
There's an app for that, too.
Like, they'll have, like, rainforest sounds.
Oh, yeah.
I've matched it to get to it.
There's, like, stuff like that on Spotify.
Like, sleep sounds.
I was listening to the rainforest yesterday, but the birds were too loud.
That I can't do.
Like, they were like.
And you're like, oh, this monkey got to go.
I mean, I don't know.
But I do like the sound of the rain.
And when I lived in L.A., I missed the rain.
Yeah.
because like I'm
because it's nice
every day
yeah
so you're like
I gotta go outside
again
yeah I'm from
I'm from Ohio
so I'm like very used
to like
seasons
constantly changing weather
yeah
so that'll be
an adjustment
yeah
but you know
February
winter in LA
you're gonna be
happy
happy
happy
absolutely
you're gonna be happy
like we gonna be
walking through the snow
and you're gonna be like
look at me in my tank top
but like the thing
about stress
is like it doesn't matter
about the weather
like if you just stress it's just gonna happen so like yeah and you are in a lot of writers rooms
so i'm sure that is stressful as well yeah i mean i realized that like i well i realized first of
all that i like i mean all this stuff i told you about definitely led to it but like working in a
at a desk all day is so bad for your body and just knowing that like oh i like when i was like i was
at a job last summer
that I couldn't sit
for more than 10 minutes
at a time
because my back hurt so bad.
What job was it?
It was a...
They wasn't paying you
enough.
You were stressed
because you're like,
I deserve more.
Well, it's just like
watching the news
all the time
was part of it.
But also just sitting
hunched over all day
is so fucking bad
for your body.
Staring at the screen
is not good for your eyes.
It's not.
So just like
taking the initiative
to be like,
okay, my body
is breaking down.
I'm 25.
I'm in agony
all the time yeah that's not good yeah and just being like oh if i go to the gym and um do like
any amount of work at all and have like core strength i will not be in pain all the time
yeah did you think i should get a standing desk or one of those like ball things that people sit
on to like force them to sit straight i did get one of those chairs and then i was like well i'm
still like weak and in pain i could just work out and not eat like shit vegetables huh okay let's
talk about the diet broccolini do you eat out a lot it sounds like you really like wendy's
and mcflurry's i'm really not a fast food person here just because it's not convenient yeah like
if i'm if i'm still gonna be like walking to get somewhere you might as well walk to somewhere good
eat something that doesn't make me feel bad yeah um i'm not like a big like foodie person i really
so what like and on a on a regular day what would you like would you get up and have breakfast at
your house um yeah i mean it depends like if i am um when i am like working on something i
like it it's hard for me to think about anything else um you seem very on the go you know like
you're like you'll be like let me grab a go-gurt yeah i'm really like food is not a priority for
me your body is literally starving and bleeding out the butt food should be a priority i i am
like really trying to be better about it but
I it's more just like something
that I have to do and not something that I
enjoy and I'm trying to. Yeah you gotta eat
sis. Do you drink water? Like
can we talk about. I'm a water
I do drink water. Your skin looks
great. You're not dry. I'm very
hydrated which is good. Hair looks healthy
I went to DevaCurl for the first
time. Now what's this? DevaCurl
is like this place it's like DevaShawn
they're like just for curly
hair and I've never
I guess I've just never had a good haircut
before okay um and this woman like goes they like go curl by curl and it's just for curly hair and
how much did that haircut cost nine thousand dollars it varies like on their website it was
like from 85 to like 175 or something not terrible especially if you're not really getting haircuts
like that you gotta treat yourself it was so nice and so worth it because it like changed the
texture and like volume of my hair like you gotta go to people who know what they're doing yeah and
And I never do.
Mitra is a very messy bun type individual.
She's like, I'm just going to throw it up.
You know, I'm just riding and whatnot.
No biggie.
I'm just going to toss it.
Maybe throw a scrunchie.
Like a real scrunchie.
I saw a scrunchie yesterday.
A thick white scrunchie yesterday.
I said, sis, what are we doing?
I'm a scrunchie girl because I have big curly hair, but it's also really fine.
So it's like the little elastics don't hold it, but I need something.
You got a scrunchie in right now?
Let me see.
I got a little one right now.
Mitra is the type to put a pencil in her hair
I'm talking about like
you might have a protractor on the side
like the ones that people wore in the 90s
like on Full House those are the
thick white
that is my go to
scrunched fabric somebody stopped me on the
train once and they gave me a card and they were like
it was for a curly
hair salon and they were like we specialize in
curl like cutting and
washing and I was like well this is a wig sir so
but I took the card I was like oh wow thank you
you i was like i'm not paying 200 for a haircut but how often do you get your haircut i'm asking
both of y'all i don't go very often i go like i mean i'm really lazy about it so i think we're
technically supposed to go somebody said like every three or four months yeah so i probably do
like i probably get my haircut like twice a year um not very often you're very cash you know you
just like we'll get there sydney how often do you get your hair trimmed or cut what why i don't know
I'm not good at taking care of my hair.
I'm usually throwing hats with hair on it.
So I'm not really into it.
But the hair is like part of the hat.
I'm not really into maintaining.
But whenever I do get my hair, it's like, oh, wow, I still have hair on top of my head.
I shouldn't.
I don't take care of it.
It looks good.
Every time you post like the blowouts and stuff on Instagram, I'm like, wow, look how
thick and healthy.
I know.
But like, we got to take care of ourselves and our bodies.
We deserve it.
I mean, when we get 50, it's going to show that we did not put in the time.
I'm really trying.
You are.
I see it.
This year has been the year that I've been trying, just like going to the gym, eating
better, but also just like, yeah, like I'm like, oh, I want to like spend money on stuff
that makes me feel nice.
Yeah.
I feel like we're at that age now where we deserve like and we're working.
We're all working hard.
Like we deserve like, oh, I saw this.
I like it.
I'm buying it for myself.
And there's like such a sense of shame about that.
Like my dad is an immigrant and like everything excessive.
I was just about to say, are you a daughter of immigrants?
Because that's what they make us feel like.
So like going to therapy was a big deal for me.
Like I've been going to therapy this year and that is like,
I called my family and was like,
I decided I was going to be really open about going to therapy
because we're not a mental health family.
And like anything like that is, it's like, oh wow,
like you're really like liberal elite, huh?
So I'm really American right now.
i would never tell my family if i was going to therapy well and it was like everyone was like
why what what happened yeah it's like well like nothing like happened happened yeah they're like
did somebody touch you on the train and you're like no actually you just never touched me as a
child that's what happened so and that has been like a huge conversation but really anything it's
like oh i'm getting a nice like a nice pair of pants why am i not getting like the cheapest
version of this it's like oh yeah i wanted a conversation on the phone last uh yesterday
listen full price for anything is absurd to me at this moment but i was like you know what i
love the pants look great they make me feel good your butt looks my butt looks like beautiful yeah
why not spend the 39 that i could have gotten for 12 if i switched to tech whatever you know like i
deserve to pay full price sometimes and so we all deserve something if you want to get a broker and
And look at lofts when you're not going to get them.
Why not?
It makes you happy.
I don't have the money.
Do it.
But it does make me happy.
Also, I don't have a TV.
And, you know, HGTV is on Hulu.
But I want to see these places in person.
It makes me happy.
Yeah.
And I'm not spending any money.
Yeah.
I'm just showing up.
Like, oh, wow.
Actually, Sydney, if you're busy next week and you want to come look at some lofts with me,
we could go.
We could be a couple.
I don't mind.
we can make it like a scene
I mean remember you hit me up
the other day and you were like let's do something not
comedy related let's go look at some
lofts sis I'm down actually
we're gonna have an unofficial expert meet up
and it's just gonna be us and a bunch
of listeners looking at lofts
we're a polyamorous
family
and the 19 of us
I love it
it's so good
but you're gonna be in LA so does that mean you're gonna be
like eating healthier and you're gonna be hiking and stuff i do find myself like more inclined to
make healthy choices out there just because i physically feel like you have to and also the
sun is shining and you feel like the vitamin d is good for you yeah and there's just such a culture
of it here i i definitely drink more here and like take worse care of myself i'm way more inclined to
be like a workaholic here than there i feel like in new york we are real people and but we don't
take care of ourselves
and I feel like in LA
people are really surfaced
but they're healthy
so it's like
so I want to figure out
what the
happy medium is
where are you going to live
while you're in LA
Echo Park
okay
that's like
that's a cool little area
but I feel like
if you were closer to the beach
like Venice
or something like that
it might be
you might even be like
a little tiny bit healthier
because you're like
they're going to see
my collarbones today
okay
are you going to be wearing
turtlenecks in LA
I think I'll still
dress like shit people in la can't dress literally every time i went out there it was like
super casual it was like just this is a meeting everybody looks the same and everybody looks
like shit and it's like it's very yeah it's there's no like personality no it's a lot of
pox on shirts it is this i mean everybody who i do i see who i'm following on in la are like
dress well yes that's for the gram but in in real life the people in la do not know how to
It feels very like, yeah, catalog.
Yeah, it doesn't look good to me at all.
Like Delia's catalog.
People are dressed like Delia's?
Wow.
Throwback right there.
It's rough.
We're better than that, guys.
I was thinking of Wet Seal.
When I said catalog, I was like, Wet Seal, the only thing that has a catalog.
Don't you do that now.
Wet Seal was a staple for me.
I feel like Delia's was, I mean, I got the catalog, but I don't think I ever owned it.
Delia's is coming back, right?
What?
No.
Why?
For who?
Okay, I don't know who told me that.
Are you going to shoot for Delia's?
What's going on?
I feel like.
Did I just make that?
Maybe.
I just made it up.
You lied to the listeners.
Well, everybody heard it here first.
Delia's is coming back.
So what's what's next for you since you hopefully are only going to have good luck in 2019?
I'm I am still waiting to hear back about jobs and stuff.
But oh, you're not moving to L.A. for a job.
Like with a job.
She is.
but you're like
you're like
you don't want to speak
too quickly
same
same same same
there's no paperwork
so I don't
I don't believe anything
until contracts have been signed
okay see this
I can't sleep sis
I mean
me too
okay
just like
do I even have a job
no y'all do
don't worry
every day at 6 o'clock
in the morning
yeah yeah yeah
it's fine
and then you're like
I'm gonna go to the gym
and you're like
it's too dark
outside at 6am
yeah
still
yeah
the sun comes up
at like 8 in New York
and then goes down
at 2pm
yes
and we have light
for it's like is this alaska are we living in alaska is it always like this why am i so much
more aware of it this year right because the sun sets in the winter here now at literally 4 30 in
the afternoon and then the sun doesn't come up until 7 30 i feel so stupid because i'm like
i truly i'm like this can't be how it always was right born and raised here and still like is this
is this my first winter i feel that way i'm like wait where have y'all been underneath a rock i'm
like this happens all the time you remember it being like the sunset yesterday it was literally
358 and i was like it's so dark but you know what as a depressed person it don't matter if the sun
is up or the fucking is down i'm like it always feels like eight o'clock nine o'clock for me
so i don't care so what are you gonna do what are you gonna do for this year uh well i got my
health care so uh getting that therapy and you know if they could throw some meds in there some
dole off i'll take that as well you know whatever will lift my spirits give it to me manifest it if
you want to crush it up if you want to put it in a juicy juice box i'm here for it okay um yeah so
that's that's mainly what i'm going to be working on uh the mental health yeah mental health but um
i wanted to ask like what do you have um any advice for people who are having like bad luck
like shit just keeps happening literally shit keeps happening yes to them and it's like how
do you maintain how do you like keep your spirits up and how do you like make fun like what you're
doing sis you went to party city and you probably waited online in them soggy ass shorts after you
pooped i did uh so money have a you know have a good attitude about it laugh at yourself it is
fully disgusto and you gotta just lean into that also practical steps to prevent it from happening
again yeah you should be writing this like you should be this is like a cartoon or a tv show
like you should be writing this as a show i think i truly feel like this year i took responsibility
for all the bad stuff that was happening with my body and i do feel a million times better and i
was like for a while i was like well i mean i can't i can't possibly change anything about my
life i am the way that i am and then it was like oh i guess going to therapy and going to the gym
and not eating like shit all the time actually does help weird yeah wendy's it's not good for
the ass girl it's not no also you gotta do butt kegels yeah yeah also butt kegels we're calling
them beagles yeah and then the stuff the bad luck was like spread out but like have you ever had a
situation where it's like back to back to back where you just like damn i can't catch a fucking
break i feel like that happens like once a month where there's like you know three days where i'm
just like wow everything is so so bad yeah and they say bad things happen in threes and i don't
know if how true that is but sometimes you sometimes you'll be looking you'll be like oh
wow, something bad happened.
So two more bad things.
And it'll be like you swipe your MetroCard
and you like smash into the thing.
It doesn't go through.
And you're like, well, that was the second Beth.
And it's like, it's not that bad.
It's not that serious.
I mean, you'd be pooping your pants.
That's pretty bad.
That's pretty bad.
But I feel like also just like letting myself feel bad
instead of being like, I have to get out of this.
It's like, no, I can feel sad for like an hour
and then get over it.
Are you superstitious?
I'm not.
oh okay yeah same i feel like it also is like the energy that you put out there if you're thinking
like bad stuff is always going to happen to you then it's going to come your way so like i had
like lost my wallet and then some shit had fell through and then i was having issues with like
the person that i was dating and i was just like oh my god everything bad just keeps happening and
it just more shit was piling in yeah i also also feel like i was inviting this bad shit to happen
well and it's also like on the other hand just like not beating yourself up like letting yourself
experience the bad emotion i feel like there's such a culture of like no no don't feel bad just
feel good instead and it's like let yourself feel the bad emotion but also like not being so hard
on yourself i mean sometimes you wanna wallow in it you wanna sit in that like bunk like oh my god
everything sucks yeah and then like you wake up the next day and you're like all right well let
me call a friend or go see a movie yeah i i feel like allowing myself to like sit home and just
like lay down and not do anything and feel bad and like watch the things i need to watch and eat
the stuff i need to eat to just like feel okay and then the next day you're like well maybe not
eat the stuff that you be yeah right yeah i mean maybe not eat what you eat but i mean yes you know
sometimes sitting it and i think that that's something that we feel weird or bad about but
like we should sitting at home by myself sometimes is my favorite thing to do yeah i don't want to
talk to nobody i've been putting my phone on do not disturb and leaving it on that and that like
that for me is like the best part about having a phone in 2019 it's just being like i don't want
to talk to nobody yeah and like yeah like being like oh yeah it doesn't matter if i respond to
this email at 8 p.m or if i wait till like 8 a.m the next day right it's like me it's gonna either
way they're not at work so i mean i i wait like weeks like google will like nudge me and be like
Did you want to respond?
And you'd be like, oh, okay.
That nudge thing is like a disease.
I hate that.
All right.
I guess I'll do it.
