No, I have. We have. I like, I see you cackle on your, on your TikTok and I'm like, oh, we were meant to laugh together.

Like, we were meant to make fun of people together. Like, destined. Destined. I have to. I found you, I want to say, pretty early on in like my TikTok journey was so. random because I was such a voyeur in the beginning. I was just like watching. I didn't make any content at all. So I found you

pretty early on. I was like, ooh, I love him. He's so funny. I love him. I think I was one of your first viral ones where you were just like eating someone alive. I was like, you know what? I like her. She's right. Let me follow. I love that. We both share

vested interest and hate for men. Yeah. Well, I am a man. There you go. But a gay So I don't know if it's 50%. It's exception, honestly. Yeah, there's an exception to the rule. I'll take it. Always.

Straight men, they're always on thin ice with me. From the beginning. There's like some that I like, okay. Yeah, I always think you're all guilty until proven innocent. That's what I think. With men? Yeah. I see that.

Straight men specifically. Yeah. I feel like the alpha male is your, like, opponent. My nemesis. Your nemesis. Yeah. I always like categorize them a little bit differently. Like I have, you have like,

the gym bros, then you have like film finance bros. Yeah. And then you have like, the, the bros who like sit on the fence, they're like, well, I get it, but like, who play both sides, they're in different buckets. I kick everyone over

every time though. Yeah, I see that for you. Yeah. I'm like, I try to think of them as like, I never interact with you. Like, when I like, I was thinking about my life, I was like, I don't interact with straight men ever. Lucky you. Not a purpose. You're against my will sometimes No but I have I have girlfriends

And I have gay friends And then I have a few straight men I interact with But not like regularly I was out of my brother He doesn't count That's the only one That's so funny I think too like with my

My boyfriend He like he run We obviously share friend circles Yeah So he's like a lot of times He's like the only straight male That other people interact with too that are like my friends.

It's just him. I know, I want to meet him. He's so sweet. He is. He's great. Yeah. He's a very good listener. Oh, really?

Yeah. Wait, what's your sign? I'm a Virgo. Period. But I'm Leo leaning. Like, I always say, I'm like right on the... Are you on the cusp? No, but I...

Wait, what's your birthday? I'm August 29th. So I'm in August, August, Virgo. I love that. What are you? I'm a Virgo. You are a Virgo? Yeah.

I'm a September Virgo. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've talked a lot of shit on Virgo, man. I will say, however, Virgo straight men. Yeah, there's a difference. There is a difference.

There is a huge difference. You can sense it. Like, I, okay, I don't like Gemini women sometimes. Something about them really sketched. I've just had a few, I've just had a few bad experiences. I see. But then Gemini men, I feel like I get along with really well. Also, I'm a Gemini rising, so it's like self-hate.

Girls, that's okay, it's fine. Yeah, that's so funny. I get along with, I think the people I get along with, the most are, like, Libra's Tauruses. I love a Libra. Me too. My man's a Libra. Oh, my God. Is he, like, kind of an airhead sometimes? Yeah, he's like a himbo.

Oh, my God, I love that. Sometimes, yeah. All my Libra friends are, like, so aloof. That's his whole vibe. I'm like, you're living in a mystery. I'm here for it. Yeah, like, my boyfriend, he has a really bad habit of leaving things on top of the car and then taking off. I don't know why.

I like that. So one time he put his phone on top of the car and we had no idea. It was up there for a while. It had to have been because we have like location sharing. Yeah. So like we saw how far it got. And then I think we hit a bump.

We're on the freeway, bitch. It was still on the car. And then it flew off. So then it kept telling us it was on the freeway when we couldn't find it. Oh my God. And he was like, I think I might have left it on the car. And I was like, dude. So we like, we, I don't know why we thought we could find it on the freeway.

We tried like driving by the spot a million times to see it. We couldn't. And then when he got a new phone the same day. But when he got it, he goes, I hope I can keep my phone number. I go, babe, that's not. That's not how it works. You've had the same phone number since you were like nine, so you're okay. Yeah.

I was like, oh, no, I started laughing. I'm like, you'll have the same phone number, I promise. That's really funny. He was like, I've had it for 10 years. I know, and you've had many different phones. It doesn't matter if it got destroyed on the freeway. I feel it's crazy to lose your phone, though, these days because it's like so important to you. It's like a child.

Oh, girl. He was. Distraught. He's also, though. like with Libra's I feel like too they're very like they're unaffected by stress of any kind

they're very like about everything and I envy it I wish I had that I know they're very well I stress about everything they're very chill I feel like Virgo's are meant to be stressed out that's when you're at your peak yeah I was like I'll be on the edge like on the edge and I'm like this is I'm at peace though

like I don't know like something about it me too but no one time I got my phone stolen in Miami You should have seen me I was like I literally had I was screaming No I put it I was like dancing I was at the gay bar

And that's where they rob you Because you're drunk I know why Because you're drunk Like an easy target And I remember I like put it in my back pocket And it was like to It was like

And then I was like let me check It was gone Girl And I looked around I was like possessed Like I was like Where is it? I was yelling at my friends

We were like We didn't take it It was so bad That would be Yeah. That's me. That's me when I lose anything because in my head, everything has a very specific place. So like if there's something my man and I share and he goes, where is it? I go, if it's not in the place, you had it last. That's how I know for a fact you had it last. Because sometimes we'll be like, well, I think you had it last. I go, no, no, no. Drew didn't have it last. Because if she did, it would be in this place and it's not here. So clearly that was you. And I'm right every single time. That's also a Virgo thing.

Yeah. They know it all. I'm pretty, I'm wrong often but I just don't, I don't admit it, you know You and me both, babe Yeah, I delude myself I gaslight others into believing I'm right Can we talk about delusion?

Let's get into deletion. That's the way to live, I think. I live in a state Like delusion.com is where I'm at. Period. I just love it. I love it.

It says location tagged delusion. Yeah. I wish I, my next Instagram post you guys watch out. No, but I like, I feel like delusion is the best way to live because who is living in reality? Like no one actually lives in reality. And what is reality? Who is to say what reality is? I could determine what reality is.

Yeah, you. I was telling, I was talking about that on my podcast with my sister because we did an episode on like dating. And we were talking, we talked about ghosting, like whether or not you like being ghosted or prefer to ghost or whatever. And a lot of times people are like, I think ghosting is so immature. Like you should just, you know, be honest, blah, blah, blah. And I think sometimes people lie a little bit. I like you, man, you lie a lot. Like, do you really want to hear someone tell you? I'm not attracted to you. That's why I don't want to talk to you.

Or would you rather them ghosts and then make up your own story? No, yeah. Delusion. Yeah, I prefer that part. Me too. I don't want to hear like, oh, you stink and I didn't like your jokes. I don't want to hear that. Let me live in peace.

I don't need that information. No. We could just never talk again. I'm okay with that. Then I tell myself, what if you died? Who knows? RIP. Amen.

You know what? Kisses to the sky, babe. Do you ghost ever? Have you ghosted? Yeah, I have. I feel like... In the past, yeah. I'm not a big ghoster, but I'm like, oops.

I forgot. I'm not a huge ghoster, but I think at the same time, I think to myself, like, I don't owe you anything. I don't even know you. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's almost like sitting next to someone on the train. Like, do I have to tell you when I get off?

No. It's none of your business. Like, we sat next to each other. We made small talk, and then here's my stop. See ya. I don't need to explain to you why I got off the train. Yeah. It's the same thing.

I feel like after a certain level, it's like, okay, now it makes sense to, like, let you know. Exactly. But that's, like, when you're dating. I'm talking purely, like, talking stage. Like, I'm not talking, like, going out and having, like, a full-on relationship with someone and, like, seeing them countless times and then disappearing off the face of the earth. When you talked about bad dates, like, have you ever been out of a bed date? Oh, my God. I thought of one.

You tell me yours. Okay, so, like, I think my, like, a lot of my dates go well because I feel the air. Like, I feel, like, there's not dead space. You are me and I am you. I could talk to a fucking sandwich, bitch. I have. I couldn't make conversation for so many people at once. I'm like asking questions like, oh wow, we have so much in common.

Like, he didn't say a word. Like, I'm talking to myself. Truly. But like, I don't know. So I feel like my bad dates have been like less because in my head like, oh, we talk to the whole time. But it's really just me talking. Yeah. But at one time I went on a date with this guy.

and we like kissed at the park and he was like I can't be here I'll never forget Was it just too much bad kisser? He was a bad kisser And then like he was like That was the most amazing kiss I've ever had my life And I was like are you?

You're all I was like I was a peck Like In this life? Are you short? I was like Am I that good? You know what I saw

I saw TikTok about this literally this morning But it was Because this isn't this wasn't a date, but I kissed this one guy once that we went out to like, we met at a bar but we knew each other, we went to school, like college together and he kissed me and it was awful, to say the

least, but I saw a TikTok today that said like sometimes like straight men kiss with way too much tongue and it's because they're like, they watch porn and they think, you know what I'm saying? It's like they have this hypersexualized vision of what it should be, what it should be,

what it should feel like, like, what women like. And like this girl was talking about it because she kissed a girl who's who was ended up being strange she was like well what the her boyfriend was there watching and it was the worst kiss ever and I think it's because of how he kisses her yeah she thinks that's how you know what I'm saying and I that's how I felt that night like I was I tasted everything he ate that day because it was disgusting it was so bad that I was like oh my god like I felt like I was being attacked I just feel like sometimes people don't have like you just the chemistry isn't there yeah I agree I'm like you're just not a good kisser you're like

No, that was purely a skill thing. I was like, you know what? Put in the reps, you'll get better. Just not with me. Yeah. Practice with somebody else. I don't know. A bad date I went on was my sister was there.

It was a double day. It was unfortunate for both of us. But we went on, it was for prom. So like, okay, this is a really long story. But long story short, are my prom day and her prom day, my junior and senior year of high school or her senior year. they were not from our city. They were from another state. They drove over and went to prom with us.

Why? I don't know. We just, we needed dates. They wanted to come. Fine. They came and to break the ice, we went to like an amusement park to like get to know each other a little bit better. Wait, before prom?

Yeah. Like the day of prom? It was like a couple days before. Oh, okay. Yeah. So it was like on like Thursday or Friday. And the prom was on Saturday. Okay.

Something like that. And so we went. and they were so, well, first of all, the one that was with me was a huge misogynist, and I could smell it from the moment he got there. Like, he had said something, like, when you met me in person, he was like, oh, I'm so glad you're not wearing heels because then you'd be taller than me. And he said something homophobically. He's like, that's gay.

And I was like, I'm sorry? Yeah. And I was like, what? And then it's like, I don't know, it's 2011, so you don't think about it. You're like, well, that was rude, but I don't know what to do. Yeah. Also, when you're young, like, I don't, I don't. I really honestly straight relationships perplex me.

I'm so sorry. They're so bad. I'm like, what do women and men have in common? Literally nothing, girl. I feel like guys, I think you've said this before too. Like, guys want a girl that will just like fit into their life and they don't have to change or do anything for them. Yeah. They're just like an addition to their life.

Yeah, it's like a relationship of convenience. Yeah. It is of like love and passion. Yeah. And I think I've just never like thought of relationships that way. So it's so hard to like conceptualize. And so, but I think that like that might have been how relationships worked in the past. And so that's where it all comes from.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. It's like it's literally like convenience on both ends. Like she needs a bank account and he needs a wife. Yeah. There you go. And that just seems so crazy to me. I don't know.

It's crazy. Well, when I went with this guy, like we went to not Sparry Farm or something. And when we were driving like they don't talk. And like my sister's shy. So then I. I can't stand the silence, so I have to fill it. Girl, I was talking for four people. I was like, yeah, what'd you do?

What'd you do yesterday? Oh, that's cool. That's cool. What about this? Like, I'm like, I'm like doing an interview. Like Barbara Walters, bitch. I'm like, where are you? What's I'm like, what are you?

What are you? What are you? And then at one point, he goes, you don't have to talk. We enjoy the silence. And it was rude. And he said that and I go, well, I don't like the silence. So if I have to talk to myself, then I will. And then it was awkward.

And that's on me. I just like going to take it. My like that's sometimes I'm with my boyfriend and I realize I've been talking for 10 minutes. He has a set of things. And then I look at him and he's like, he's like, he's like, I feel like he's slumped over that. I'm like, oh yeah, I burned him out. Like he hit his limit with me. Like I needed.

And then I'm like, I'm just sitting there in my thoughts like, what was I even saying? Dude, oh my God, sometimes my boyfriend, like I was just telling my mom this the other day. I'll talk and I'll start with like I wanted to tell him something I saw. on Instagram. Yeah. And I'll end up talking about like the Japanese Imperial Army. How did I get there? I literally was like, wait.

And I'll go, I'll literally go on this crazy journey. It'll take me 30 minutes. He'll listen to the entire thing. And then at the end, he goes, what were you telling me originally? Like something about Instagram? I go, oh, right. Yeah. Like, that's how I talk to all the time.

I'm the worst. Like, because he doesn't have TikTok. I'm like, mine didn't either forever. I'm trying to describe TikTok to him. And I'm like, well, then there was another one. And then I'm like, let me just show. you and then I go I'm a school I'm like this one's so I'm like and then he's like just show me the video like please and like I'm the same way where I'm like I just lose my train of thought and he's like you need

to figure out I know sometimes or sometimes I'll start a sentence I'm like you know what I was thinking the other day and then he'll be like what and I just don't finish the sentence because I started doing something else and then he goes what were you thinking and I go what yeah I start gaslighting him I'm like I wasn't even talking like he goes you just said something and you didn't finish the sentence. Sometimes I'll be talking and he goes, if you don't finish that sense, I'm going to kill myself. Because I literally talk about 72 things. Yeah. And then I'd never finish the original thought. And like, I was like, I started sleep talking. And I would wake my boyfriend and I was like, you were saying something of sleep. And I was like, I can't even shut up when I'm asleep.

Like can you even be quiet. You just have so many thoughts, girl, we got to get them off. Do you have crazy dreams? Yeah, I have like the crazy dreams. I have very vivid dreams. Like, they're very real. I was like, where did that come from? What did that? What did that? that mean? Like, why was I driving it? Like, there was no reason I was crashing a blimp. Like, do you know what I mean? Yeah, he doesn't remember dreams ever. Yeah, and he doesn't, my boyfriend doesn't really either. Sometimes I think that he just like spawned one day because I'll tell him, do you remember this? Like, do you remember this show when we were, because he's only a year older than me. We're the same age. Like, yeah. He goes, I've never heard of that in my life. I'm like,

you've never heard of this. I'll give you a perfect example. I was trying to explain. This meme I saw on Twitter that was like Most of you think you were like Cassie or Maddie from Euphoria When all of you bitches were Coconut Head From Nets Declassified He didn't know who Coconut Head was? He didn't even hear of that show I was like you know Coconut Head?

He goes, are you just saying words to me? Are you like, I'm like, no, it's like a character. He goes, from what? I go Nedsdy classified school survival guy And he goes, you're just making things up. Like he literally was like, what is that? That's really crazy. I had to look it up, bitch.

He's never, he's never even heard of that. That's wild. Was that one Nick? I had a friend and she was only allowed to watch one hour of TV like a day and so she would watch Zach and Cody and she's like I don't get any of the SpongeBob references like I've never watched SpongeBob that's a sad luck but at least she knows what it is yeah that's really crazy but he has watched SpongeBob so that's why I'm like you were on Nicolette like what are you doing that's why I said sometimes I think he just skipped a bunch

of steps like he just like he closed his eyes when he was nine and woke up and he was 28 like I just like sometimes I think that that's really like big that was such a good show and I said I was like big I was such a good show I know. That's what I was saying. Like you've never heard. I feel like Nick back then was so, like all the kids shows were so good. Yeah. Unbeatable. Oh my God. Hannah Montana. Were you like, you're a little bit older than me, right? Oh, I don't know. I'm 20. I'm 26. I'm 27. Oh, you're 27. Yeah, a little bit. Girl, you're trying to make me. Sally off 30. You're 45. Older than me, right? Why are you born? 72? Yeah, I'm 27. I'm 27. I just turned. 27. Okay, so were you like, were you in the Hannah Montana era? Were you like above it? Do you know what I mean? No, I was in it. I was a little bit older. Yeah. I was in it. I was in it. I loved Hannah Montana. I remember when it premiered and I was supposed to go on a Boy Scout trip. And like I was like, I don't want to go on the trip. Hannah Montana's coming out. And I'll never forget. Like I'll never forget. I was so dramatic. My dad's like get in the car. It was like, it's playing right now. Like, you're all. And the, fuck the Boy Scouts. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I was like. I learned how to do not. I made a fire once.

I don't know. Were you in Girl Scouts? No, I did Girl Scouts one year. We tried. I remember we went to the intro meeting and it was chaos in there. Like all the kids were just running. It was almost like the Girl Scouts that I was like where I was at, it was almost like it was just a babysitting program. So they would just like drop off all the kids.

And my mom saw it. And she was like, nah. We just left. We just went to the end. intro meeting and it wasn't we weren't featuring it so we left my sister was in the girl scouts and one time she had to make she had to sew a renaissance gown so she go to the renaissance fair and that was her breaking point she said i remember she put that dress on i quit and she started crying and i was like this is the funniest day of my life she was in that renaissance like shitty homemade renaissance gown

i'm like girl take that all girl she had to go to the renaissance fairos across the board But the cookies are so good They are fire It's hard to be I like the ones They look like a donut And they have coconut on them Oh

They don't forget the name They used to be called Samoa's But now they're called Something else Those are my favorite Those ones are fire Yeah Speaking of Renaissance kind of

When I was in like fifth grade We did this Project called the Wax Museum For like the end of the year For like Parenteatier Night or whatever Yeah Where Or open house

I forget what it's called when everyone comes to school at night. And we had to do this project and you had to pick a historical figure that you admire. Oh. And you had to do a lot of research on them and you had to write a little

like monologue of theirs. Like a biography. I think I read, was it like the museum or you had to like dress up as them or no? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So you had to dress up as them and then like pose and then someone would come and like press your button and then you'd have to reset your mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I'm so I'm so glad

because sometimes when I tell people that they're like, that's not real. I'm like, I'm telling you. I did it in fifth grade, but like everyone picked like, I don't know, people picked like Rosa Parks or like Thomas Edison or whatever. Who were you? Girl, I picked King George III, which is the worst king in English monarch history.

He was horrible. Oh, my God. And it's someone you admire. I don't know why I pick. I have like a weird thing with British Royals. I'm like obsessed with them. I just think they're so fascinating because it's like white people business and I like to be in it. You know what I'm saying?

but I remember my teacher called my mom and was like I just I don't know why maybe maybe we try something out my mom was like I mean if it's not offensive like just let her express herself

I don't know what to tell you my mom was like let her do it and so I did it and I talked about how awful I was and I was a terrible king and I ruled for a long time I think I picked Abraham Lincoln I kind of stand by that choice that's a good one

But I remember how the cotton balls on my head. Did they do the wig? You had to make a wig. Yeah, I did. I made a wig out of cotton balls. I looked like trash, right? There was a picture of it somewhere. I'm like, oh, God.

My mom made me my whole costume. Like, I had to dress like a man, obviously. Me gender bending at 10 years old. I was the only girl who was a man on top of that. Why? I don't know. I was also 5'4 when I was 10, so I'm sure that was horrifying to see. That's really crazy.

I was like a young man. And so I remember we did it. did a day where we had to like if you wanted to recite it in front of all the classes you could yeah and if you did an accent you got extra points and not even for the points just to be the center of attention I did it yeah I did it first and I did it with the accent that's pretty accurate that's probably like someone in in their classes like traumatized from that experience and they're like this one time this girl they're in therapy right now this girl from my class freak she was six three and she had the worst pretty accent I remember yeah literally literally literally literally

really girl that's really menacing I feel like when we're little kids we have no idea like what we're doing I was so gay I was so gay there's like a video of me at my birthday party and my dad's hang up by pinata Latino and he um and he's

like do you like the pinata and I was like yeah and I'm like that little slur like that oh my god that's when I came out to my mom I'm sobbing my dad's and like my mom was like looking like my dad and my dad's like looking at it

and I was like I'm gay and they're like yeah they're like yeah here's the Kleenex I was like they knew I waited so long oh sorry I was like where's the reaction girl hello yeah something I don't know I was like I just needed to be dramatic you know like I just needed

in that moment I needed the drama but like for me yeah I was I was such a like I was so up front about my emotions and like I was so confrontational from a very very young age so like when people are like she just does that for likes and attention if you've known me at all like I've always in fact I was worse when I was younger because I had like no fear yeah but like when I was I think in like sixth grade like this kid like grabbed my sister's ass and it made her cry and when I saw that I said

who was it and so I walked up I'm small at this point I hadn't hit my growth spurt yet so I was tiny I walked up behind him. He had a backpack on. Girl, I had two hands shoved him to the ground. Like, I shoved this one. And then I started, I jumped on top of him and started, like, trying to hit him. But they pulled me off of him. And then I was like, I'll kill you.

I'll literally kill you. That? Slay. No. So then I went home. I agree. And then I told my mom said, tell me what happens. I told her.

And then she told me she was, she told me she was proud of me. And then she said, my advice to you is don't tell people you're going to kill them. That's a threat. Yeah. You could go to jail for that. Just if you're hitting them, whatever. You know what I mean? I'll fix it after that.

But like, just don't tell them. I'm like noted. I did that when I was in sixth grade. So how old are you in sixth grade? Like 11? 11. 10. Yeah. There you go.

Yeah. See, like, I'm not confrontational at all. I was like, I'm not doing. Really? Not even Virgo and Gemini Rising. Yeah. What's your moon? Pisces.

Oh. Emotional. Yeah. I'm a cancer moon. Yeah. Oh, okay. You're crazy. Yeah.

Oh, my God. It all adds up. And I'm a Sagittarius Rising. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It adds up, doesn't it? It does add up. They got stacked.

Like, it makes sense. But no, I was like, I was even in football. Yeah, I remember that. I was, yeah, I was football. What position did you play in football? I was the center. And so that's... Girl, what are you doing being a center?

I was the center. Well, okay, well, when I was younger, I was a little, like, shorter and, like, wider. Okay. So, like, they were like, okay, he'll be harder to push down. That's why I said you're so small, like, being a center. I'm petite. No, like, I actually, I was, like, when everyone started getting really big, like, the, like, linemen started getting really big.

I was like, oh, that didn't happen to me. I, um, but no, I was a center. And I, I think arguably the gayest position you can be. Because you, they put their hand right there. Up your booty. Like on, there's a pad. Yeah. But they, they put it right.

And you have to hike the ball. I was like, that's gay. Like, that's the gayest position you could be. Right. Hands all up in there. It was like, it was meant to be. be that I was gay because like hands up in there they're breathing down your neck

this is too much it was a gay awakening for me or something I was also really bad at football like really I was like okay I didn't know any of the plays we do quizzes I was like which one's the ball like I have no clue I was just playing to play I was just there for a good time not a long time

yeah did you play sports yes girl I'm someone I played all the sports that's like in my bloodline what was your favorite thing I think Well, I grew up playing soccer Oh, me too Which is so shocking when people hear that Because I'd be the

I'm the biggest soccer player you've ever seen in your life Because I was huge when I was younger too But I played that most of my life And then I loved volleyball Volleyball volleyball was my favorite sport I threw Discus and Shopwood In high school

I did that I was awful I was so bad That was the one sport I didn't care about at all So I just did it to get a letter Because I made varsity Yeah And then I was just dick around the whole time

Because my sister was on the team Billy was on the team with us my boyfriend Oh, okay We were all on varsity together So I literally did it to letter And so I wouldn't have to run Because that was like Oh my god, that's so funny

Track you have to run I'm like that hell no I'm not running So I did like shampoo and discus And like some I was so awful I would foul every single time I never Is that one of you spin The discis where you spin

And you toss the little disc They had that at your school That you had like Where you're in the sport Every time I did it I threw it into the net. And then my coach would be like, and I just work off. Yeah.

And I was like. And then I'd go sit down and buy snacks and eat. Yeah. No. I was like, I did not. I tried out for soccer once. I did make it. And I was like, that's it.

My life's over. I was like really dramatic about it. And I like honestly didn't even try at tryouts. I was like. And then you're wondering why you just make it. Why did I make it? And everyone's so good. I'm like,

what happened to me? I don't know. I did like, I did travel. soccer, travel ball, like with soccer from the age of seven, I started playing at a very like stupidly high level.

Yeah, I played a club soccer for a little bit and it was really fun. I don't know if I was like the best. Like, I'm not gonna be, I'm not gonna sit here and lie. I did, I won a few games. I got a few goals, but I'm not gonna say you're like. I was midfielder.

Oh, period, bitch. I was so much running. I girl, when my family would come watch me because the concept of me playing soccer was so foreign because a lot of someone girls do not play soccer they play like volleyball basketball softball those are like the main ones so when my family would come watch me they'd be like that's a lot of running because it's like on average you don't touch the ball for like an hour like you're just running in circles i know it's like tap and pass if that yeah yeah i played that for a long long time played soccer for a long time i like

miss feeling super athletic like i would be running i if you put me in a star game now i'd be out of breath in 10 minutes. Oh, girl, you and me both. Yeah. You and me both, bitch. I would never last now. I, like, used to play indoor soccer with my friends, too. I started an indoor team in high school called Los Tegrees.

Why? Why? I don't know why. And I was like, I'm Latina. Like, I need to, like, make it a Spanish. I don't know why. Anyways, I, like, literally was so bad. Like, I just, like, I don't know why.

Did it for funzies? Yeah. I miss, like, believing in myself despite. how obviously like bad I was at things you know what I mean like that was like the fun bring back that feeling

yeah delusion delusion at its finest I like that thing I was like you should be as delusional as Jennifer Lopez because that's aspire period

I think about that a lot I'm like I wonder what she thinks like what she tells herself people are saying that's so crazy I loved I'd have to pack it in at this point if I were her but like whatever

she's just like doing shit now Like, I don't know. Like, she just does shit. Like, I kind of... Do what she got to do, I guess. Okay, I loved her in Selena, the movie. But now everyone kind of makes fun of her all the time. And I can't help but laugh because it's just, like, kind of...

It's kind of funny. I get white people are mad at her, so... I like, I don't know. I can't even... My favorite video is her at the award. She's like, man, they're Latino. And like... I was like...

And then there's a clip of her, of Taylor Swift after that being like, she speaks Spanish. And I think it's so funny It's just like so funny Girl Yeah There's not enough Representation of someone People are like

Yeah you're like the biggest one In the rock Yeah in the rock Just the two of us And we met Oh you met him? Yeah I interviewed him Oh my God

At the Black Adam premiere Oh that's so amazing He seems really nice He was very nice I can't believe it's trajectory From like the WWE up to like Up to now girl I know

He's so he's very Very, very nice. And he was so, like, such a dad. He's got such dad energy, which I vibe with. I think that's nice. Have you seen his, like, cheat days on Instagram? Girl, I'm all up in, I love, love following people that post things that are so far left of my own life. Yeah.

I'm obsessed with some people like that. Like, there are some people I follow from, like, before my platform and everything. And I can never unfollow them because I'm like, I just need to see what you're up to. I started following like Love Island people just because I'm like you live in a different world than me. And like I really like it's like the opposite of who I am. It's like same. So it's your rock. That's yeah, essentially.

He's so like cheat meal. And it's literally like the craziest thing you've ever seen in your life. Yeah, like homemade banana French toasts peanut butter. And it's like this big. Yeah. I don't know how he does it. But he's so jacked. I go to the gym once and I'm like, I kind of look like that.

Like I get to snotch room. You know, I kind of give people a chance. Maybe I'll stop going for a while. Oh, my God, we're so off topic. Oh, wait, let's go back to what we were going to talk about. We were on topic for a minute. Being in love with a man. That's our topic for today.

We never, did anyone even say it? No. I was going to say, but then we kept talking, which I love. But anyways, that's our topic for today. Like, being in love with a man. Like, why it's so hard relationships dating all of that, which we did cover. Because we're both in love with men. Yes.

Two separate men. What's the hardest part for you? I would say because I'm in like a heterosexual relationship, I would say the hardest part for our relationship in particular was like communication. Yeah. That was the hardest part like, you know, communicating in ways that works for both of us. Because like I'm a very like let's talk about it now kind of person and then squash it. He's like I need time to think about it. And then when you need time, that makes me think you don't love me anymore.

So like you need to like show me that you love me by talking to me. And that's like unhealthy to see it. that way. So that was the hardest part, I think. Yeah, I think communication, like, in relationships in general is the biggest factor for whether, for whether, like, it's going well or not. I agree. And, like, I thought it was so funny that there was a topic today was, was, like, being in love with a man. And yesterday, me and my, I got the email about the topic, and me and my boyfriend were in the middle of a fight. And I was like, I don't know if I can do it. I don't know. We'll see by tomorrow. But I'm also, like, I don't want to say anything.

that I don't mean and I'm going to regret. Same. Like I just don't want to blurt out anything or say something stupid. Like I'm like, I really do want to get it out in a way that he'll understand. And I know I'm saying it how I really feel. And so I will take like a little bit of time to collect myself. But when I'm not talking, when I get quiet, he's like, what the hell is going on? Like, like, I mean, it's just like, he's like, are you okay?

And I'm like, I think I just like, I think so quickly. Yeah. that I'm like, he's told me before. He's like, you just think so fast and you talk so fast and then I can't keep up and I just don't know what to say because I'm like, what do you mean you don't know what to say? Because I've already calculated all the things I want to say. And so I'm learning now that time is good, space is good. Like not talking for a little is okay.

It all depends. Like I've talked about with people who have asked me about like how to sustain relationships, especially with men as women who are femmes who love men, I would say like, I was telling them, arguing is healthy, fighting isn't. Yeah.

Fighting is not productive. It's mean, it's pointed. Arguing is like you trying to communicate an emotion or a feeling to your partner and you feel like they're not listening or validating you. So I was saying like that, it all ties together with communication. But like when we would fight,

it was normally about that like trying to communicate. Yeah. And I think that like, you're right, arguing is okay. I think I've never even been in like a screaming match with anyone. Yeah. Like, if you start yelling at me, I'm not going to be there. Like, I'm just not going to deal with that. You leave, yeah.

Yeah, I just, I'm like, I'm not going to yell at you. It's not that serious. Like, I can't even imagine myself, like, screaming at someone like that. But I just think, like, I fight. I don't think I've ever, me and my boyfriend have always worked through stuff in a way that, like, we end the fight or like the argument. in like a healthy place. Same.

I've never been a relationship like that. Really? Or like, you know, I've only been in three relationships. Yeah. This is like the most serious one. Have you been in more than... None as serious as this. Yeah.

Yeah. Same. You're just like me. Yeah. It's like it's, I wouldn't count. I wouldn't even count anything before, to be honest. Yeah. This is like my first real, real, real serious relationship is what I would say. Yeah.

Same with me. One thing I can't imagine is like living with someone else. Like living and dating. Really? Like, not yet. I just moved into my own apartment. That's true. Did you share rooms a lot growing up?

Since you have siblings? No, we never shared. Okay, that's good. Well, actually, when I was, like, really little, up until I was, like, five. Like, we were in a smaller house, so I shared a room with my, I think, my brother, and then we moved to an apartment, and then we moved to a house. Got it. And I think when we moved into the house, which I grew up in, like, we got our own rooms. Oh, that's nice.

Yeah. Well, actually, so my grandma was supposed to move in with us, and she passed away. Oh, no. Then we all got our own rooms. so, but it's okay. I don't want to say like, well, that's not it. What are you supposed to say to that? It was like an unnecessary detail.

I just want to be like, okay. Okay, yeah. Moving on. I just didn't know how to be like, well, that's nice, like, because it's not nice. No, it's not. I mean, that's cool that you have your own room. I think I need my, I'm like realizing now more than ever, like personal space, something I really need.

Like, time to recharge, like, by myself. with no one else in my house. I'm like, this is real nice. I feel that. Yeah. I think that's fair. I live with my boyfriend now. We've lived together for a while.

We live together in a house now. We used to live in like with his parents before, like during the pandemic. We lived like with his family. And we had our own, obviously our own room together. Yeah. But we live in our own house now, which is nice. I think it's like it's, it is very different though when you spend the night at each other's houses versus living together. Because like some people are like, oh, why don't we just move in?

I'm like, it's very different. It seems like. Yeah, like it's very different from spending the night. Like when you're always there versus you live there, those are two very different things. Yeah. So it's like it's definitely a test, like a test for your relationship. So I was like, I don't think I'll be ready for a while. And I don't think he will either.

Even though we like, I think. How long have you guys been together? A year and like, like so we met in March of like 2021, door 2020. Okay. I think. Oh, no, no. No, no. That's wrong.

2021, 2021. So it's been like almost two years of like knowing each other, like really closer. But we didn't start dating until I was on my birthday. And I was like, I was crying. I was like, I want you to be my boyfriend? And he was like, okay. A love story. How did he ask you to be his girlfriend?

Yeah. I'm like, I don't know. No, we, we, uh. How did you guys meet? Like, well, you met in school and then how did you guys re-meet? Well, it's a long story, but I'll keep it short. Basically. He had blown me off.

Like, we were friends, so we would get, like, lunch. Like, like, colleagues, like, grown men. We'd be like, let's meet for our annual lunch. When I would come home from school, because I went to school in Hawaii. So when I would come home, we would, like, get lunch occasionally, and we'd catch up, and then we'd be, like, deuses, see you next year. And then he blew me off, like, three times in a row because, like, of random ancillary outside factors. I'd be, like, each time he canceled, it would be a little bit closer.

So like the first time it was like a couple days I was like oh that's fine The next time it was the day of I was like okay And then the next time it was literally an hour passed And I was like we're done Like and then the final straw for me was like He had gone to Hawaii

He said he wanted to get dinner blah blah blah And then he just never showed up And he was supposed to bring somebody else Like a few other people Yeah And then he told me what happened after the fact But I was so over it at that point I was like we're not even that close

I literally told him we're not even really friends. So like if you never hit me up again, that's fine. Like I was like, never talk to me again. I never want to hang out with you again. And we didn't talk for like two years. And then when I graduated from college, he started like kind of hitting me up a little bit. Like he would comment on my pictures and I was like, I would because I was so petty. And I would see it, I would just delete them.

Because it was so mad still. The drama. And he would text me and be like, did you delete my comment? And I just wouldn't answer. Oh my God. So petty girl. And then he kept hitting me up like, hey, when you get home, we should hang out. And I was like, no, hell, no, I'm not doing that.

And then he hit me up like three or four, five times, like fifth time. He gave me up again. He's like, I know you're really mad at me. Like, please give me a chance to make it up to you. I'm really sorry about what happened. And I'll explain everything. And then I was with my mom. And I was like, should I hang out with this guy?

What should I do? And my mom was like, I mean, go see you. If he still sucks, then at least you get a free meal. I was like, true. That is true. True. True. You're so real for that.

And then we went. and jokes on me, I fell in love, so there you go. Yeah. That's why he says, like, if I didn't keep hitting her up, like, we never would have dated, which is true. Yeah. He chased me, period. That's how it should be, right?

Yeah, that's how it happened. That's cute. And it was radio silence. Like, that's why I always say enemies to lovers. Oh, yeah. That is really crazy. That's the arc. I love that you held onto the garage for years.

Years, girl, years. That's one of those things that, like, I always say about Samoa and people, like, one thing about a Samoa person, I'm going to hold a grudge. To death, bitch, till death. Like, have you ever seen Hobbs and Shaw? No. The way I'm, like, doing the marketing for that movie,

and it doesn't have it. He's the rocks in it, so I've seen it. But it's like, there's a part where he goes to Samoa to go see his family. And, like, he, like, betrayed his brother or whatever. And he's like, the fate of the world's at stake. Like, that's the part of the movie. And then the, he's like, everyone will die. And then his brother goes, good.

I'll let everyone die before I help you. And I said, nice to see yourself represented in film. That's literally me That's so funny That's such a Samwin trait Like a grudge girl They never forget I'm like I'm easy

I like let things go Which is crazy Because typically I am like that Like once it's done it's done That's how I typically handle conflict But I think that was the universe's way Of telling me that he was gonna be in my life forever Which is why I could not let it go

Do you feel like it was like meant to be Yeah I mean like yeah This is the first I feel like it's meant to be with my boyfriend. We like ran into each other. Mm-hmm. And then, or like, we met through mutual friends.

And then I really liked, he had these shoes I really like. They're like these Martine Rose, like, Nike collab. They look like bubble gum. Oh, love. And they're really cute. Anyways, I was like, I love your shoes. And he's like, and then I saw him. And I was like, oh, that's like a pretty boy.

Like, I was like, he's so handsome. Yeah. And so we were walking to the party together. And like, the whole group was ahead of us. We were like talking and walking. And then I remember we got to like the, rooftop party and we like split ways. I got hammered. I got hammered.

And I was like going. I was like hanging out by the edge and he's like, you should not be over there. He like pulled me away. And I was like, he saved my life. Romance. That's so funny. You say that. I got absolutely shitfaced on the first three dates with him. Oh, really? Because I was nervous because

he had been my friend for so long that I was like, this isn't date. Yeah. You know what I mean? I know what you mean? It's like, what is it called like a social lubricant. Yeah, it was like a courage thing. Yeah. Which I didn't typically need, but I was just so like, this is not a date. And it was funny because when I saw him again for the first time in like two years, he never really used social media at all. I had no idea what he looked like other than like what I knew he looked like. Yeah. And when I saw him, he had grown his hair out and I love long hair. Like I,

long hair on men. I think that's the Polynesian in me. Yeah. But that's like my favorite on men. so when I saw him I was like Damn it When I said I was like god damn And when I saw him even my dad My dad literally when my dad saw him My dad hadn't seen him in like eight years Yeah

My dad goes he looks good to me That's so funny Don't tell me that I know when I'm still being mad When dad say stuff I'm like Oh my God you mean it Like you're real You're so real for that

Yeah my mom would support me through anything She'd be like Same She'd be like I think she'd be a little honest But she would be My mom would always tell me if I was being insane. Like, even sometimes with like fights,

if I have a fight with my boyfriend now and I like, I'm venting to her, she'll tell me like, that was kind of on you. Yeah. I'm like, damn, you think? She goes, yeah, that was you. I was like, I was like, I know. Who's sign are you on?

I'm trying to spend the story. I was like, but no. And she's like, she's like, no. Yeah, yeah. But then. See, this is the part I didn't tell you. Meanwhile, he was doing this. He wasn't doing this.

He wasn't doing that. shit. I was like making stuff like. She's like all of a sudden, huh? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Okay. So anyways, being in love. Yeah, being in love. Being in love with a man. Do you believe in soulmates? I like, I don't know if I like think it's a thing. I think that some, a lot of people are really compatible. Yeah. And like, like, people are meant to be in your life in a way. Yeah. Like, I didn't text my boyfriend back. Or like, when we met, I didn't text. I was so hung over the next day. I like just forgot to text him. And then two days went by and I was like, it's too late. Yeah. And then he literally eight people showed up to my best friend's apartment. And, like, he was one of them. And I was like, Rubin, like, the odds of him being there were so slim. It was like the most random thing in the world. Yeah.

And then I was like, I kind of felt like, oh, it was like, I was meant to see him again. And it was like two weekends back to back. And I'd just never seen him before, never like anything. And I just felt like, now that looking back, I'm like, oh, it's meant to be. But I don't know if I believe in like a soul mate. Yeah, I believe in soulmates like both romantically and platonically. I believe that. I also think too that there's like I think like sometimes people are afraid to say that they believe in soulmates.

Yeah. Because either there's a great risk to like losing them or never finding them. So I think that sometimes people don't want to say that they believe in it for fear that it could be real. You know what I mean? It's almost like I don't want to confirm it because if I do then it becomes real and what if? You know what I mean? The what if's like E alive a little bit. But like when I started dating my boyfriend, I tried to get a job in Hawaii because I graduated from school.

And typically speaking, I should have. Like logistically, statistically, I should have gotten a job. The pool is so much smaller there. And I had so many connections. Yeah. And I could not get hired. Like nobody would hire me. And I felt so like frustrated with it because I was like, if I move back home, I have to go move back in with my parents.

I feel like I'm going to start over. Like I was being an adult for four and a half years. like this sucks and then I like no now like I literally moved back home and then like a couple weeks later I hung out with him for the first time so that was literally the universe like pushing me to go back home because I had to meet him so I know I feel like I get pointed towards people and like certain people are meant to be in my life same and I think my boyfriend is meant to be in my life but I think the part about a soulmate for me that I I don't know if it's like how I perceive a soulmate but it's like you complete each other yeah and I think I'm the part about a soulmate for me that I I don't know if it's like how I

complete each other. Yeah. And I don't know if I think that like I need anyone to complete me. I feel you. I feel also to be in a healthy relationship. You just have to love yourself first. More than anyone could ever love you. Yeah.

You have to just. And I think it took me a really long time to get there. And so. To give credit to someone else. Yeah. Like them completing it. I see it as like an infinity stone. Yeah.

It's one of the ones you collect. You know what I'm saying? It's not the only one. Yeah. But it's one of them where you're like, that's mine. Yeah. And then you add it to your little gauntlet of all the other things you want to achieve in life.

The ring. That was your right. That's my literal way. That's cute. Do you and your boyfriend like the same content? Like the same exact kind of TV shows and movies and stuff like that? Yeah. Yeah.

We're pretty aligned, honestly. There are some things that he, like, when it comes to TV, there's like, I think one show that he's watched without me. And it's like, I think it's the boys. The boys? Is that the name of it? Yeah. The boys? I don't know.

But he said it's good, but he watched it without me. And even though I don't think I would ever watch it, I was still like, why would you do that? Why would you watch that without me? Even though I wasn't heartbroken about the show itself. But other than that, we're pretty aligned, honestly, on what we like. Me and my boyfriend, we're pretty aligned, but he, sometimes I'm like, I don't know what you're on. He also, he studied Mandarin in college. Oh, cool.

And he lived in China. And he, like, I think he has, he really, really likes Asian culture because he lived. there and he was like he went to Taiwan for a summer like he's just been and so he's all about k-pop and i just i'm so sorry i just can't i like k-pop i don't come from me i was gonna say don't come for me i was gonna say whatever you say if it's negative i'm not sorry to no but i'm afraid of them like he he loves luna luna was like oh cool was his top artist i'm pretty sure or one of them in like his spotify rap yeah and uh i i i'm just i like luna but not to hit that level, you know?

He's up there. I'm like, wow. I think that's cute. I don't, we when it comes to music, we're pretty aligned too, I would say. I think, like, there are some things that I'll show him or he'll show me, but it's always in the same vein of, like, stuff that we really like mutually.

I just haven't seen it, but there's a lot, like, for me, like, I love Broadway. I love show tunes. Like, he does not like that, not even a little. And he tries. He does try, but he does not. Although I will say. I did take him and like my whole family. We went and saw six on Broadway in New York. Six, like the number six. Yeah. Girl, so good. Oh my God. If anyone wants to see Broadway, I highly

recommend that show. But I've been listening to that album at the gym lately. Oh, really? Yeah. But he really liked that one. Whereas typically he doesn't love them, but he'll, he like, like, one time he took me to a Broadway show because I love Broadway. But it was Hello Dolly. So it's a very old one. And it's, he didn't love it, but he took me because he knows I love Broadway, but six he loved highly recommend. Oh, okay. Very good. I, you know the movie musical Chicago? Yeah, girl.

That, I think that turned me gay. I think, like, I don't really love Broadway. I'm not like a Broadway gay. Really? I love Broadway, but I'm not like all about it. I feel you. Yeah, you know, like we're probably the same level. Yeah, it's fun to go. I like that. And you know enough. Yeah, yeah. You're not like super, super

in tune. But that, that movie changed my life. I remember I had a DVD player in my room. I had three movies and one of them was Dreamgirls, Beyonce. And then the other one was Chicago. Love. And Queen Latif in Chicago changed my life. She had this little like blonde bob or blonde like pixie cut and her giant boobs and she had like fan. I was like I'm slay. I want to be you like.

You're like I want to be her. No, yeah. That one is so good. I don't know why. I just like love that movie. I love that. I think one of the first ones I watched like through and through and I memorized like the lines, the lyrics, everything was legally blonde, the musical. Oh my God. Yeah. Such a great one. I would look it up on YouTube and I would like so I could watch it. Yeah, I wanted to, my friend and I would enter the lottery every day trying to get free tickets. We never won. I went and saw Moulin Rouge. Ooh, fun. I've never seen that one. It's really, they use like modern songs in it and

The cast was really good. I love that. But Broadway, I wish I spent more time. Learning it. It's expensive to go to. It is. It's pricey. But that's probably one of the only, like, that I can think of, like, musical things that he's like, no, thank you.

With movies. Recently, I, like, showed him all the, like, high school musical movies. Oh, my God. Camp Rock, Hannah Montana. He was under a rock. Oh, yeah, girl, he's never seen any of that. No, he never even heard of it. My next thing to conquer is Twilight.

I'm going to make him watch those ones. Those are so good. They're so good. They're so terrible. You have lots of Jacob content. Oh, my God. I should have brought my wig. I love those movies because they're so...

Terrible. They're terrible in a good way. Yeah. I remember... I went to the... Don't judge me. I went to the premiere with my friend and we saw the one where she opens her eyes and they're like red because she's a vampire now.

Like the actual premiere or like the midnight? Midnight premiere. Like, sorry. I'm not a... the premiere premiere. Don't be, don't judge you. Girl, I saw, this is not a joke. I saw every single one of those movies at midnight.

Really? It became a thing. I like had to do it. I did it for the first one. I was like, now I have to do it for all the rest of them. Yeah. I did it for everyone. I'll never forget the audience screaming.

Like, screaming. Like, it was the most magical moment of their life. Yeah, and the movie, looking at it now as like an adult, it's really fucked up. The story. Yeah. It's very twisted and awful if you think about it. But we choose not to. We just watch it.

enjoy. Yeah, I like, I like the movies. The storyline itself. Were you team Edward? No, girl, I was team Jacob. You have to be. I was always down for the brown, to be honest. Yeah, he's Caucasian. I know. I know that now, but at the time, I was like, I choose brown because like, I'm brown. Yeah, also he was just hotter. He was just arguably. It is what it is. But when he got the hot bod, keep the long hair.

Yeah, that's your vibe. Get a better wig, but keep the long hair. The wig was good. It was good in the sense that it was camp. Like, it was like, it was like. The wing was bumped. So, hi, girl. Mega mind.

You know how, like, in the first Harry Potter, Voldemort had, he was on the back of that Professor Quill said. Literally. That's how looks. And he had that middle part and the beachy wave. I was like, oh, he kind of. It's camp. It was camp.

Talk about serving cunt. I literally. He was serving cunt in that wig. He was. I know he was behind the scene. never behind the ear because you could see the lace you know what I'm saying well he had the like he put these two pieces behind the ear

and then this was like over and I was like that doesn't make any sense but you're serving you're serving though I don't know I like I do like long hair on a guy I love long hair that's the Polyshin in me

you say your boyfriend like really maintained right like he really go he was in the shower for two hours yeah he loves he has like a huge well to credit myself I put him on the hair care routine we got the turby twist we got a scalp scrub we have an oil

they're diffusing I actually his hair's actually pretty wavy it's not so curly mine's more curly than his like my natural hair texture but yeah his hair is pretty wavy

it's very long now too so yeah it suits him like I think so if you look at him he looks like he looks good and long hair he always says it's in a bun

Yeah, it's always in a bun Because he gets hot It looks good I know girl because when he first He has an undercut too So when he put it up He has it like faded on the bottom Yeah

Which also looks really good And I was a really big fan of that look So the first day we ever went on He had the long hair already And I was like all right Yeah And then when he put his hair up Because he got hot

I was like alright When I saw the undercut I was like girl That's nice I'll see in six years Because that's how long we've been dating I try to grow my hair out and like this shit pisses me on.

I don't know. I can tell your boyfriend has thick hair. Yeah. And I was like, I was in New York sweating my ass off. Oh, girl, it's so bad. But the thing is, you can get it. I could get it in a bun and then it looked like shit.

It's like a bump it. I was like, what the hell is going on back there? And I was really going for it. And then I was like, I have to give up. Really? I like this hairstyle. I think it suits you. Thanks.

It's very cute. And it's giving you the length that you, I think you want. You see that movement? You see that movement? I know we literally share my boyfriend and I are hair's, my hair's longer than his and thicker than his, obviously, because it's always been long. Yeah.

But like his hair's getting up there. It's pretty long now. You just got a trim recently. Yeah. And he's just really hot. Like he just is. Like, let's just call it what it is. He just say it.

I'll just say it out loud. I just have to let you know. It is what it is. You know what I mean? I'm not going to fight you on that, honestly. Yeah. Okay, can I say something crazy? Has anyone ever told you he looks like Mac from?

Always Sunny. Always sunny? Yes, and I'm happy to hear that because otherwise it's Jason Momoa, which is not true. To an extent. He gives Jason Moe like baby vibes. Like he doesn't look like him. No, not at all. But the vibes are there.

Yeah, it's the hair and brown. And then he wore like that cool on the carpet he was wearing. like a traditional Yeah, that's how somewhat outfit, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so I was like, okay, the vibes are there. Yeah.

He doesn't like, he doesn't like look like him. No, he doesn't. But he does look like, Mac from, it's always sunny and it feels like. Yeah, I was looking and I was like, oh my God. He gets that a lot. Him with a beard and like long hair. And it's like the like, I always say it like,

he's like, okay when I'm like, it's a very chrome magnon forehead. Like it's very low. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not like it's a bold forehead and like the almond eyes. He has hooded eyes. Oh, yeah. And they're very almond shaped.

So, like, that's like, I think that's, like, the only characteristic that is somewhat similar to Jason MoMA, but that's it. The first carpet I ever went to, Jason Momoa walked after me on the carpet. That's cool. So he was right next to me the whole time, which, first of all, talk about going, like, on before Beyonce at a talent show. The way that every photographer was like, bitch, get out of my way. Yeah. Move, idiot. Like, because I was, like, I'm like, I'm supposed to be here, too.

That? He was supposed to walk earlier. I was thinking. He seems like a giant. He's honestly not that tall. Really? I mean, to me, because I'm tall. You're tall too.

You're pretty tall. Yeah, 6'5. Easily? Yeah. No, he's, okay. Well, he's probably like the same hat as my boyfriend. My boyfriend's 6'4. So he's like 6.4.

6.4, my best friend, Dom, is like 6.4. And he drives a little ass corolla. His knees are up here and he's flooring the gas. I'm like, bitch, get a bigger. car. My boyfriend used to drive a mini cooper. Really? Girl.

You look like Mr. Incredible. You know what I mean? Like shoulders up on the ceiling, bitch. Like traps touching the ceiling. No. Yeah. The way that people would be like, I saw your big ass boyfriend driving around because he's in that mini Cooper.

Yeah. And I love the way that you talk about. Like, guys will be like, say the meanest shit to you. And then they go onto his page and like, damn bro, you're hot. But yeah, they're like, I know you're so. You're honestly kind of sexy, but I hate your trappage girlfriend. Like that's so Weird

Weird Weirdo I will say They just don't have it in them To like disrespect him Yeah They just don't have it in them Also if they saw him in real life

He'd What, kill them Like beat the shit on them Like You said it not me I don't know I also do want to say I've never seen a girl

That wasn't like Too good for a man In a relationship Have ever noticed that Yeah Like everyone Absolutely Either they're like

prettier or smarter Or funnier Or like something's up You know what I mean Yeah Yeah But maybe that's just me, like, perceiving, like, my feelings. You're right.

You're right. A lot of the time, you're right. Yeah. Absolutely. I feel like it never works. I don't know. The other way. Yeah.

It doesn't. And that's the crazy part is, like, sometimes men will be like, well, clearly he's there for the clout and the money. I'm like, okay, I've known him since I was 14. Yeah. What's your excuse there? It's, people don't. I don't know.

I was like, we were dating before I got big on TikTok. My favorite. of yours right now is you literally just like finding a comment and then showing a picture of them and it's funny and that's it and it's just funny i'm like because they're you know why because they're ugly yeah that's why it's funny and it's okay if we say it because if you're awful i'm going to tell you you're ugly oh my god because nine times out of ten it's true and they're going to come for me they're going to come from me they can't tell you anything you're not ugly that's true that's my point like no one can tell you anything because you're not oh my god when's the first i i still remember one

looked in the mirror and I was like, I'm pretty. Is that crazy to say? No, not at all. I'm always like, wait. Not even a little bit. Something's happening here. That's how I was when I was little. If you asked my mom, which sounds so fake and not real, but it's true.

I want to see the pictures to you and you're crazy. Like, you were talking about it on another episode. Like, you're like in leggings with like, I was. Oh, my fits. My shaking up fits. I want to see. My sony with a chance fits, girl. All the layers.

Oh my God, the layers. You were like an onion. Like you were just like a. stacking it on. Yeah. All the jewelry. Yeah. I like, my mom wouldn't let me be emo.

I would take her to Hot Topic. Please. Please, like get me a studded belt. No. You're getting a buzz cut when you get home. And she'd go, I remember. I was like, and I kind of, I'm grateful for it. Yeah.

I just, I wish I could have had like a soup bang. Oh, girl. Did you? Yeah. Hell yeah. I was emo and goth. I was like an emo. I won't say emo.

Five four. fifth grade. Yeah. Swooping. A grown man with choppy layers, girl. The way that I literally was, I was like that in sixth grade. And then I did a hard left and I was obsessed with the Jonas Brothers for the next like three or four years.

That makes sense. My mom supported all my endeavors. She took me to my very first concert, which was the black parade for my chemical girl. Oh my God. That's my very first concert ever. What a great concert. When I was 10. Yeah.

So she took me to that and then we said, oh, I just kidding. I like the Jonas Brothers now. And my mom was like, okay. Which one? Joe. I was a Nick girl. I was a Joe. So was my sister.

And now you're both gay. You're so right for saying that. You're so real. Remember when he was in Camp Rock and they were like, that's what they had the. Flat ironing. Flat iron. Dead hair. Skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny jeans.

Hair fried, mama. What was it with them in vests? I don't know. I'm putting my hands up. The vibes were chaotic. Okay. This was one of two episodes I have where we didn't even get to the videos. But there was no need.
