taylor swift the world's favorite little 35 year old white girl's new album is out
and for the first time in the history of this podcast
i will be revealing my honest thoughts on taylor swift
so starting off really strong this is how her album should have sounded
okay life of a showgirl the title of the album we're starting off strong today we're going right
into the life of a show girl. We're going right into Taylor Swift, uh, talk because you guys,
I have a, I'm not going to say my opinion yet, but I am a changed woman. You might be surprised
to hear that. Um, but yeah, the, the life of a show girl, the album title, I think right off
the bat, we can admit the marketing, the album title does not match the product. Okay. I think
we were all a little bit like, what the fuck with these songs? Like we were waiting for that jazz,
that brass, that flapper girl, feathery energy, you know, and we got what a lot of people are
saying are, what do they call them? Like discarded tracks or like bonus tracks or forgotten tracks
from previous albums like the album was kind of like a blur of songs that kind of all sound
the same in a way like people are disappointed with the sound because of the way it was marketed
with her and the jewels and the flapper girl outfits and the show girl the show girl outfits
right like I think everyone was like this is gonna be a bop like this is gonna be a banger
album like oh my god it's gonna be awesome big bold amazing like ready for Broadway like I don't
know I don't really um okay here's the truth
by the way I'm bloated um my face has never looked more fat um I drank two
DIY electrolyte packets before bed last night for no, I forgot. The thing is, is they taste so good
that I was, I was like, I want another one, you know? And then that's literally like a tablespoon
of salt in my system. Um, anyways, so I'm feeling bloated. I'm feeling tired. I'm feeling fat. Um,
it's fall it's October 8th. It's nine 17 AM. Didn't hit the gym. Didn't hit the sauna to
sweat this out also I'm not really into the sauna right now because part of my fall we'll get to
Taylor Swift part of my fall um like routine my fall girly routine is um self-tanner and I'm just
like I'm just I literally said out loud to Corey I was like I refuse to be pale and pasty this fall
like I yeah so I'm self-tanning I'm not in the sauna so I'm holding on to the water and um it's
a lot I didn't work out so I'm drinking let's get to the drinks we'll get to Taylor Swift you guys
slept like shit we're still co-sleeping with Louie um this is me just getting into the groove
of podcasting by the way I'm not gonna do 50 takes I'm just gonna own that intro about Taylor Swift
We'll get back to it, okay? I'll keep riffing on my opinions and how I'm a changed woman after listening to this album and for another reason about Taylor Swift or related to Taylor Swift.
so but let me get in the groove we're drinking um the slate protein ultra protein high protein
milkshake chocolate flavored 42 grams of protein these are the shit and honestly it's so crazy I
used to be like anti-dairy and now I'm just like eating dairy on top of like I'm having
cottage cheese for breakfast I'm having
did I just do that tongue thing I hate when I do that okay we're not gonna
care um I do this like it reminds me of like a lizard catching a fly or something on a
on a plant like the way I loop my tongue around a straw on this podcast when I drink
like you've I I'm insecure about it and I've talked about it before but like I think I just
of that yeah I mean I'm eating like whole milk cottage oh my god whole milk cottage cheese for
breakfast protein shakes that are straight up filtered milk this is ultra filtered milk so I
guess that's better for your system I don't have I'm not lacto I don't have a lactose issue and
then it's like cheese throughout the day sometimes I have like a little cheese and cracker situation
I'm just eating wait what other dairy am I eating creamer I just had this chobani creamer in my
pumpkin spice Trader Joe's cold brew coffee I immediately drank at 5 a.m. upon waking up because
I'm like it's 5 a.m. I'm gonna podcast early this is the earliest I think I've started the show
in a minute it's 9 20 yeah it's 9 a.m. that's crazy usually I'm doing this at like 11 30 and
I'm pissed because what happens at 12 30 nap time I'm still doing that anyways so yeah had the
i'm drinking the chobani creamer the cheese the cottage cheese the what other i'm having what
other dairy uh varieties are there i'm like what else is dairy yogurt oh my god i've been doing
like greek yogurt um and i put like protein powder in it like whey plus the protein or plus
plus the dairy from the so yeah lots of dairy on board in my life right now um feeling bloated
still i it's probably from the dairy i don't really know it's probably from all the electrolytes
um you guys know that like I was I am in okay my entire personal brand of 2025 has been like
I'm skinny I'm on a GLP-1 I've never felt this snatched I love my GLP-1 medication I'm pro
taking it even if it's for vanity reasons like there's more it's it's more than just a weight
loss drug like there's so many benefits that go beyond weight loss like I've been sleeping better
it's keeping my blood sugar levels down which is like good because like that's what
causes diseases and shit like I don't know like when you're storing fat and your whole your you
have like spikes in your insulin it's like bad for your it's oxidative stress it's so like I'm
just and what other benefits have I noticed like just self-confidence like losing a few pounds
like just makes you feel better so like anyways that's my that's been my entire brand so I'm
feeling very insecure today being on camera and you're probably like what the fuck like your arms
look so jacked like you're I'm showing arms today by the way you're not bloated at all but like I'm
feeling insecure about my face being fat I feel like you guys Taylor Swift on what interview was
that she got she got something done okay we all can agree like she's getting some work done she's
35 you know she's no longer 16 so like physically now emotionally spiritually I think she's still
there and we can all um probably agree on that based on the lyrics of this life of a showgirl
album but anyways I'm feeling puffy like she did on that one interview and god bless her I mean
you know we're all trying to do our best but um anyways that's kind of the state of
the union right now the state of my how I'm feeling physically um yeah I'm just I'm not
working out as much and I'm not necessarily eating healthier. Um, but I'm still on the
GLP one, but I'm like, I might up my dose this fall. I don't know. We're going to figure
it out. So back, we'll, we'll get back to Taylor Swift. Um, cause I have some thoughts
obviously, and we're going to get into that, but this is what we're going to do today.
Okay. Let's just start off strong with my, we're going to do, okay. We're going to do
like, there is a reason why I work out in the morning. Okay. And it's literally for my cognitive
function. Okay. I should have worked out before I recorded today. Okay. I'm going to do my screen
time. I'm going to do my, uh, let's do my aura ring stats. Okay. Cause I slept like shit. We're
co-sleeping with our bulldog, Louie. We continue to do this every single night, even though we
sleep like shit and we wake up five times a night. Um, it's affecting everything. That's probably
why I'm that this happened last episode. I was like, Oh, I slept like shit. And, uh, it's cause
we were sleeping with our bulldog, but it's like worth it. Cause it's so, he's such a cute little
cuddly teddy bear and like okay not bad 79 uh my readiness score is 79 I'm just kind of used to
having like good to average scores if that makes sense like I used to get like solid 95s like if
you're an aura ring girly like you know what I'm talking about if you're not part of the aura ring
community this is going to be confusing but like you basically get you get a sleep score out of 100
every day and then you get a readiness a readiness score if you've had a whoop strap before it's kind
of like that but solid seven hours and 10 minutes of sleep wait a minute this is all like in the
blue so I'm doing this on the podcast for fun like just for fun to like feel connected to you
I can't do this episode I'm gonna re-record it
trying to build a parasol social relationship and by sharing intimate information about my health
okay feeling fat feeling bloated uh telling you that telling you I slept like shit checking my
statistics you know what we're gonna go into my screen time next because that nothing will make
you feel more connected to me right now than me telling you how much time I'm actually on my phone
and I'm going to turn it on the, I'm going to show the camera and go to YouTube or Spotify to watch.
Um, so I'm not lying, right? Daily average. It's 15% down from last week, five hours and 38 minutes
showing the camera again, go to YouTube or Spotify to watch you guys. My favorite podcast,
the toast with Claudia and Jackie. Hi, I'm a toaster. Hi. I listen every day. Um,
they just became or they just uh their podcast just became available on video on Spotify video
and I'm like that made me feel so good about myself because like when they rolled that out
and I feel like a lot of podcasts that are big like don't I don't know how you
because because I just got offered to do it by Spotify they were like hey we're rolling out this
video for Spotify, um, for our, for our podcasters. And like, I don't know, maybe they just like
grouped some of the, you know, the smaller ones with the bigger ones. And they're like, Hey,
you guys can be on video on Spotify. But I guess for them, it was a big deal or they were making
it sound like a big deal that they got on Spotify video. And I was like, I've been on Spotify video
for a long time. So like they're my inspo, um, numbers wise, chart topping wise, just all over,

okay we did this sleep sleep score we did the screen time we talked about my health we we teased
Taylor Swift um we're gonna go week high week low fall fact of the day niche fall fact of the day
actually and this is regarding um this was taylor swift inspired taylor swift wood uh lyrics her new
song wood lyric inspired um because she was making dick joke after her entire album is like
penis this penis that dick dick dick cock cock balls redwood trees hard cock knock on wood
fuck me open my thighs fuck me harder I'm being fucked properly now I have I'm I'm getting nine
inches 200 how many centimeters 23 centimeters every night up I'm I can take it you know like
I'm getting fucked um I should be doing this more okay fuck fuck fuck penis cock balls
it's like, I'm an a**hole now with my husband, my fiance, Travis Kelsey, f**k yeah, f**k these
small men that I've been improperly being f**ked by these past years, I'm getting d**ked down right
now, and so, like, with that in mind, the fact of the day was inspired by Taylor Swift's lyrical
ensemble of dick imagery. Um, and, and from the life of a show girl during the short days of
autumn, the testicles of a male Siberian hamster can swell up to 17 times their normal size.
Do not Google images of this. It will traumatize you. There's your fact of the day.
Thank you. I'm getting into it now. We're getting into it.
Okay. So week high and week low. Let's start low. Okay. Let's start low because
it's so disgusting what I experienced this week. And I don't, I'm like thinking about it and I can
smell it again my week low was cooking pudding okay cutting open the bag of my ribeye and my
New York strip that I eat the ribeye Corey eats the New York strip slicing the back open of
the two steaks for dinner putting avocado oil in my cast iron skillet slicing open the you guys
probably know where this is going the packages and noticing that one of them was a very deep
purple color and I'm like well this is organic grass-fed so it's like this was Sprouts brand
steak by the way so I'm like oh like based on all the years of listening to Joe Rogan like the
darker the meat the more nutrients more nutrient dense elk meat elk elk elk dark dark dark good
good good health health health iron iron vitamins vitamins superfood steak steak steak carnivore
diet carnivore diet I only eat steak I only eat okay so I'm like thinking positively about the
dark meat and how purple this particular steak was and so the other one was kind of it was more
of a normal shade of steak red okay and um it's giving like fall red right like you're like my
previous fall nail color I'm rocking like baby pink right now but um didn't think anything of it
I get that avocado oil super super hot like I always do when I cook steak you gotta get that
nice seal going with avocado oil and the cast iron and then the steak meat right so the steak
meet the fucking yeah so I take the steak and I put it in the oil with my tongs and immediately
no immediately no immediately dead animal roadkill rotten flesh ed gein uh gutting
women up hanging them like the scent of what his home who's watching monsters who's watching the
story of Ed Gein like that kind of vibe like the stench of the the organs just permeating his home
from the bodies he butchered up and what so the scent of the so basically I
took the package out of the garbage now one thing about my kitchen that I love one of the best
things you know I might just do an entire podcast episode on like what to look for when you're
buying a home and like the the things that are super that like until you are actually living
in the home like you don't realize how great these features are or like you know I have I have
pre-home buying thoughts like what what you should look for but then once you're like in the home
things that are so functional and like smart to have and like things that make life so much easier
anyways my garbage can is right next to my sink and right next to my oven so it pulls out like a
drawer and it's just like chop chop chop if I'm like chopping vegetables I just chop chop chop
and then I can like sweep it in the garbage all like the the onion uh wrappings or the the rice
paper that goes around the whatever the fucking onion layering shit is like I you know I can like
throw that in the garbage right away it's like you can just like scrape stuff in there and so
I pulled out let me get to the steak the roadkill scent permeating the kitchen
pulled out the the package and I just gave it a little sniff test
I haven't smelled that smell
when's the last time I smelled that smell
that was from that was like a childhood memory just possums on the side of the road or dead
chickens getting hit by cars and just laying on the road for a few hours you know that scent of
death um I feel like I've smelled it more recently than that though yeah it's a very specific smell
so basically I took the package I sniffed it like an idiot smelled like shit I'm like oh yeah yeah
this something's off but I got this steak from Sprouts like a week before so I was like oh it's
good it's not expired nope it was two weeks expired somehow or a week so like the date I
bought the steak it was pretty much expired and it wasn't on sale it wasn't labeled with that like
oh butcher bonus discount or whatever like 25% off today like expires tomorrow like it wasn't
one of those situations so I was like pissed I was like fuck you know it was like a nice steak and
I hate throwing stuff away and wasting and I was just pissed about that too
and anyways I threw out the steak and then I immediately put it in our dumpster
you know our garbage in it and I was like the house smells like shit and it took so long to
get that scent out of the home this is my week low so steak rotten steak is my week low um
yeah no amount of candles no amount of hypochlorous acid spray which by the way
if you're not on the hypochlorous acid train because of skin by kristin from tiktok
get on it okay i'm telling you like all of these branch basic brands these clean sprays these
i don't know seventh generation you can get it like target like the clean marketed clean
disinfecting products out there all suck okay they're they're they're fine they're fine but
like you hypochlorous acid and honestly rubbing alcohol if you're following skin by kristin you
you know like you understand what i'm saying hits different it actually makes your house smell
like like fresh clean like scentless like and there's like a little chlorine scent to the
hypochlorous acid that is so satisfying if it smells like i'm trying to think like the smell
It's like, kind of like when you walk into like a YMCA and you can like smell the swimming pool, but it's like, it's like a clean vibe. Like that's how my house smells with the hypochlorous acid. So like, but no amount of that was masking their rotten steak scent. I was using my Palo Santo wood and I was like whipping that around. And yeah, so that was my week low.
I mean along the lines of rotten meat I got a pap smear that wasn't really a week that that was I
was gonna say maybe a week high because I'm alive I'm a woman I'm going to the doctor I'm getting
my shit checked out like I by the way they say like oh if you get a positive like if you're good
you get a pap smear and you it comes out good like you don't need to go for another five years I'm
like fuck I'll go twice a year like I am such a more is more bitch with my women's health
stuff and I go every single year it's like literally every single October that's what
I'm doing my appointments and um was it a week low or a week high I'll say it's a week high you
know those cold tongs those cold clamps going up there uh you know that's a sensation I don't get
all the time I'm not used to I'm used to like something warmer inside of me and um yeah it was
giving uh Ed Gein only being able to get aroused by cold bodies and how he had dunk his what was
her name Adeline in a nice bucket to you guys I am this is a this is a mental exercise this
podcasting thing I do it's a brain game it's like a it's like a fun activity so now I'm having fun
I'm getting into the weeds here. Ed Gein, the butcher of Plainsville, Wisconsin. There's a
Netflix series. If you're, if you're not familiar out right now, it's, um, a Ryan Murphy. Is that
his name? Uh, show he's made the Dahmer series. He's made the monsters with the Menendez brothers
series. And now he's got this Ed Gein one. I had no idea who Ed Gein was, but basically there's a
scene where he um wants to bang his uh Jezebel Jezebel the fucking mom kept saying she's a
Jezebel she's a Jezebel and you're going to hell if you get with the Jezebels and like anyways it
was his cute chick that was also into like dark like death and gore shit like he was so that's
how they like clicked and um she felt seen and heard and understood by him because he was like
into it too but like into it so much so that like he wanted well he you know he killed people and
like did awful things to them but he could not get aroused or like into like into it unless she was
like literally cold like he's used to fucking dead bodies or the cold that are cold and so
he made this poor little girl because his girl girlfriend like getting an ice bath you know so
um the the the cold tongs at the gynecologist uh that sensation was a week high the cold tongs
clamping me down there and uh it was it was you know they always get weird the thing about the
gynecologist they always get a little weird like the appointment's going well you're just like
going over like your current health stuff your woman stuff whatever and then it's time to do
the pap smear and they're like kind of getting like a little quick with how they're talking and
everything's very like matter of fact and we're you know I'm touching you now or like I'm like
here are my fingers like she's like fingers are here I'm okay is this okay like do you it's all
very you know medical and very matter-of-fact robotic but there was something weird like we
were totally like hitting off being girls you know like talking about my giant like just talking
about everything and then like she does it and then when she was done it was so like she felt
awkward and I'm like what did you see down there like what were you like why are you feeling
awkward now like I'm because I'm just not that way I'm very like I'm not you know they make you
like put the gown on which is fine but then they're like you cover your legs with this
this like really shitty paper it's like low quality um paper it's like this giant napkin
and you lay on your lap while you put your feet in the stirrups, I'm like, I don't fucking need
that, I don't fucking care, like, I kind of want to see what you're doing, you know, like, I don't,
I only do this once a year, it's kind of fun, anyways, she was getting real, like, hot and
heavy after or something, I was like, it's all good, like, she just, their disposition, like,
kind of, for me, at least, like, changes, and I'm like, what do they witness when they go down
there that they're, like, taken back by, like, maybe it's just, like, making them flustered,
and I mean she was like blush I'm kidding but like she's been doing it for like over 20 years
I'm like why are you being awkward like I'm not being awkward you know like why you're the doctor
like why are why do I feel like you were being awkward at the end of this it was very like quick
she like ended it and it was just like okay and she like left the room she's kind of like yeah
so that was my week high I guess um week high week low we did it rotten meat pap smear
honestly the ed gein documentary was kind of a week low because
i just don't think that's good for our brains to be seeing that kind of gore and like i didn't
need to see these preserved vulvas in a shoebox okay on my 4k 80 inch however fucking big we have
the biggest tv you can buy tv um it's so funny when we install the tv or when we
nevermind. Um, it's just so funny. I hope like Corey, Corey will be adamant about something.
Not like, like he'll be like, no, like there's no way that would fit that. There's no way we can
get helmet. How big is it? 80 inches. Is that, that sounds wrong. 80 inch TV, 80 inch TV.
is that what it is it's huge yeah I'm pretty sure it's 80 but he was adamant like there's
no way this is gonna fit on that wall and I am I was just like without measuring I'm like
because his parents have one it's identical to ours and I'm like there's I can totally picture
there's here and it would fit anyways it fit and there's room to spare so hi I'm a construction
worker hi I'm a I'm a I don't know oh how we're doing um so yeah that Ed Gein documentary fucked
me up trying to think dude this actor Charlie Hunnam Hunnam right Charlie Hunnam now I didn't
watch what was his show that everyone's like oh my god he was so hot um Sons of Anarchy right
so I was like okay who's this Charlie Hunnam guy okay then I was like seeing him in clips of Sons
of Anarchy I was like okay I get it but then I was like okay so he's like supposedly like this
hot guy which I'll agree to he's a very good looking man and then it's like he's cast as Ed
Gein and that because now I know like as I'm watching the first episode I'm like who's this
actor playing Ed Gein so I looked him up and I'm like he's the hot guy from Sons of Anarchy
and then I'm watching him act in this Monsters documentary and you know he's like hi mother
okay mother I'll be I'll be a good boy and I won't fuck the Jezebel because I don't want to
go to hell you're right mother I'll go read my bible like I'm watching him act I'm like okay this
is interesting now I understand the lore and like why he used that voice because this the whole thing
was him you know becoming his mother basically and so that was like a feminine voice he chose to use
when he was acting out this role but anyways I'm like watching him and I'm like there are some
scenes where I'm like you're it's like he was like too hot you know for it in a way like I'm like
you're so fucking weird and this voice is so fucking weird and then you're like really fucking
handsome and I'm like you know what I mean like your brain like can't calculate that but he
honestly the acting was so good where there are a lot of times where I like didn't notice it
like I was like he was Ed Gein you know like he I was just like wow you know and all of all of
these monsters documentaries the Dahmer actor I forget his name was incredible the Menendez
brothers the two actors that were the Menendez oh my god incredible and like now this like the
acting in it in all of these shows are like fucking they're amazing so anyways shout out
um what other shows are we watching I'm not really isn't there like a new love is blind
out like there's always like a reality shit happening that I don't know about because I'm
not a reality girl and you know what who's watching Candace like who's glued to this
Candace investigative journalism reporting she's doing about Charlie Kirk's assassination like
it's like I haven't missed an episode I mean it she is my Risa Tisa right now okay it's uh
candace candace owens is my risa tisa it's it's no longer who the fuck did i marry in 2025 it's
who the fuck killed charlie kirk okay and i am just taken back by her commitment to this
investigation and how much she's on it you know and i feel like you guys regardless of what you
think about candace owens and now i have my opinions right i have my and and things have
and flow with me with her and they, but now they're, they're not ebbing and flowing. I'm
pretty like, fuck yeah, Candace. And I'm on the Candace train and I don't know why I got off of
it. I think I like heard some shit and I was like, you know, um, honestly, probably related
to Israel. And then I like to switch teams. You know what I'm saying? So, um, but she makes every
fucking point she makes is such a good fucking point and the thing about what she's doing with
this Charlie Kirk investigation is like if you had a friend a family member if you had someone
who was assassinated and shot in the fucking neck in broad daylight in the same way Charlie Kirk was
she is basically doing exactly what you would logically do in that situation and she's asking
all of the logical questions that you would be asking if that was your brother or your uncle or
your dad or your you know what I mean like your best friend so if she's getting any flack about
this it's like put yourself in her shoes like this is actually so fucking smart and logical
and amazing that she's not just like and and the thing is is that history the reason why
she's being skeptical and asking these questions that are like what the some people might be like
why aren't you just like listening to what the feds are saying and like why aren't you based on
American history okay like she has every reason not to believe what she's being told and what
the public is being told and what the media is saying okay so um it's actually very intelligent
and very smart to be doing what she's doing and the way she's doing it because you have to and
And in this day and age, like you have to think outside of the box and go into every possible detail, even though it might sound wacky.
I mean, some of the points she's bringing up are like, whoa, like where the fuck does this come from?
And then it makes sense.
And you're like, oh, you know.
And so, yeah, I'm glued to Candace Owens right now.
It's such a mind fuck still what happened.
And I even said this.
And my last episode was literally about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and my theory about the phones and our empathy and our lack of empathy because phones are completely desensitizing us from like our own humanity and feeling it for other people that we disagree with.
and like, um, is that the right way of saying our own human? You know what I mean? Like we,
I did an entire episode on it. Go listen to the last episode. Um, but I said when things like
this happen and we'll get to Taylor Swift, by the way, we'll get to my opinion on Taylor Swift in a
second. Sorry. Um, shit. I really did that. Didn't I? I like went way off of that, but that's what
happens. Um, but I always say that it sucks when stuff like this happens and thank God for candid
because the next week it's something else like the next week it was Jimmy Kimmel getting you know
taken off air temporarily you know we thought it was going to be for good but like no he came back
right and then the next week it's something else the next week it's something else and I just hate
that about the news cycle and how we just like forget things but like the Charlie Kirk assassination
like that that was fucking huge and that was a that's a huge it symbolizes so much more than
like just him getting shot you know and him being assassinated like it's there's something about it
that is it's it's bigger than that and I think that's what everyone's like I think that's what
we all realized when it happened um it seems darker than than that or can't be any darker
than him being killed, but like something else is up, you know? And that's kind of the way it
always has fucking been. So it's like, as much as Candace is doing this investigation, as much
as the world's like pushing back and asking the questions and staying on the case. And it's like,
I just whoever the big guys are whoever the big dogs pulling the strings of the world are like
I just don't think you can ever you're never gonna like
you know rise up and destroy that like you know take them down like I feel like no matter what
As much truth as you seek and find out and as much information that, you know, you come up with or factual information you come up with it shows that they're evil and corrupt and all that.
It's like it doesn't fucking matter.
It's just going to keep happening.
And that's the sad fact about life.
So it's like just keep it moving, but like don't.
But like we've got to have people fighting the good fight.
it's like such a hard thing to realize about life but anyways I don't want to spiral so we're not
going to um I have a few fun reddit things after I talk about Taylor Swift you guys want to do
scary stories spooky season I have scary reddit stories one is literally like um murder is legal
in my small town should I go kill someone so we might do that let me take a look here if I have
anything else um oh yeah did he got four years don't care I mean yes I care but like
I never really covered that honestly and what do I have to say I just
he'll be he'll be out and like on podcasts and just like back to normal I feel like and
another thing, another unfortunate fact about life. Like we're not going to tear down the big
guys and the big dogs ruling the world. Like that's just not going to happen. Like that's
not how things work. Unfortunately, like it's just not our, that's not how the simulation was
set up or whatever. Like, that's just not how things go. Like, can it be improved a little
bit? Sure. Yeah, maybe. Um, but then people just, if you like expose it and try to like
fight the fight like you'll just get killed so like they're they're always gonna have a leg up
on all the little people and I don't know it's just um what was I saying about oh yeah and then
like when shit like the ditty situation happens especially if it's a man you'll just watch them
like do their time and then come and like be bigger and better than ever on the other side
of uh prison so which you know people are making jokes about he'll be like doing the baby oil
baby oil baby oil parties again the freak offs again like nothing nothing's gonna change and
um this is work okay oh my god it's prime week it's prime week prime day prime it's the seventh
and eighth right haven't bought anything don't need anything every now and then I'm like oh I
wonder if there's a good deal so I'll like look and I'm like no I'm good I don't need it um I have
been busting through a lot of products recently just trying new things out and really enjoying
the beauty world again like or I've always enjoyed it but like the makeup and skincare world and um
I just did an empties video you can go watch it on my TikTok okay um I use my products like that's
the thing it's so satisfying when you like finish a product and you're like fuck yeah like I actually
like yeah like I'm I'm not I'm not a wasteful bitch like I'm actually using the things that
I'm being sent a lot of this stuff is gifted or like things that I buy and then I repurchase them
so I even shared like which things I repurchase to go go to my TikTok if you want to watch my
like beauty guru videos. Um, so back to Taylor or was I going to do these Reddit horror stories?
No. Um, is there any other pop culture news? I don't really, I don't really care. Um,
let's talk about Taylor Swift and then we'll do a couple of Reddit scary stories. And then I like
this question here about your instincts. Um, because I love like, I just think it's amazing
how sometimes our gut feelings are, uh, what's the quote or gut feelings are golden angels or
like golden messengers or like gut feelings are, there's a quote, you, you probably know the quote.
Um, but anyways, people are chiming in about like listening to their gut feeling and realizing
later what they avoided by getting out of a situation they could have like died or like
this horrible thing could happen you know I just think that's like a fun little podcast segment
um we're just you guys I might start podcasting three like I'm actually so what's today Wednesday
I need to be doing this more like it's getting bad like it's getting really like clunky so
um I want to make history and that's what this is and I can't if I'm only doing it once a week
and i'm clunky at it you know what i mean so so back to taylor swift
again this is how it should have sounded
okay like moulin rouge like like big like flapper girl like
like band brass, like trumpets and saxophone type energy, you know, like, can you imagine this is
the thing about life of a showgirl? Um, and I'm going to reveal, like, I'm just talking about it
very like neutrally. Like I'm not putting my, you're not going to really know what I think
about Taylor Swift until the end. Okay. So you have to stay tuned for that. Um, and I've really
do teasers, but that kind of felt good to give you guys a teaser. I never do that. Um, but the
thing about life of a showgirl that would have been so sick okay it would have been so sick if
she legitimately blended that moulin rouge that's the only like broadway like fucking showgirl thing
I can think of right now that those brassy sounds that jazzy sound that showgirl sound with her own
Taylor Swift vibe I guess like that could have been so cool to have an entire album with that
it's kind of like when Bieber just came out with swag it was like this is a new sound and it's very
unique it's like or for him it's like a more unique sound I think Taylor Swift could have
really I mean just don't title it life of a showgirl title it like
I was gonna say something rude but like
something about this album is is very like it feels forced and like she's just trying to make
money or something off of the I don't know like someone some so many people have these theories
and stuff and it's like it just feels very like off like I don't know like again I think it's
just the marketing versus the product like you didn't execute that properly and so I think that's
why people are confused and then when you listen to the songs yeah they all kind of blend together
and sound very similar and like the same note and just the same nothing stands out there's like a
few lines that really like you're like oh she's seeking this is like a bop like this is like a
little like this line like this one line like I ain't got knock on wood in it or like Elizabeth
Taylor I like that song a little bit I will admit to that okay I'm still not telling you my opinion
on Taylor Swift yet. Um, but there's some lines where you're like, okay, like I can, maybe this
will get stuck on my head, but the rep, I, by the way, again, not explaining my Taylor Swift fandom
level right now, but like, I did listen to this top to bottom. I blew my back out at the gym or
I blew my back out. And the next day at the gym, when I was doing my rehab stuff for it, I was like
trying to listen to something not crazy, not my, you know, fucking trap music. Okay. So I put on
the entire Taylor Swift album because I'll explain why um well I wanted something that was
everyone's talking about it I actually listened to the album top to bottom so I feel qualified
to talk about it now on my show because sometimes I talk about things where I'm like talking out of
my ass because I never really like read the full article or did the deep research right like I
always talk about that so like with this Taylor Swift new album I listened the whole fucking thing
okay but um anyways um yeah I just feel like back to the the vibe like it could have been
so like pop jazzy in the coolest way and I feel like she's got all of the resources and the
ability to do that but this is kind of like a this album feels like um like it what it was just kind
of like a it's not memorable like it's not memorable you know what I mean like it's
anyways this is Taylor Swift so I just I'm just a little bit like huh like
is this by the way this might be AI I don't know I did not do my due diligence here but like
she seems pissed and weirdly angry the rule of show business is if it's the first week of my
album release and you are saying either my name or my album title you're helping um and art i have
a lot of respect for people's subjective opinions on art i'm not the art gleece it's like everybody
is allowed to feel exactly how they want and what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror
oftentimes an album is a really really wild way to look at yourself right what you're going through
in your life is going to affect whether you relate to the music that I'm putting out at any given
moment and what I often love seeing my fans say is I used to be someone who didn't like relate to
reputation and now that I've been through some other things in my life that's my favorite album
or I used to be a like fearless girly now I'm obsessed with evermore like and we're doing this
thing for keeps like i have such an eye on legacy when i'm making my music i know what i made i know
i adore it and i know that like on the theme of what the show girl is all of this is part of it
the rule of show business is all of this is part of it okay well um you're helping us in reference
to capitalism and making money off of your anytime you mention it mention what did she say the rule
of show business is like basically all press is good press if you're saying my name in the first
week it's helping meaning it's making me money so um yeah she is the queen of capitalism the queen of
like suckering your fans into buying so much fucking shit like how many album covers did she
or um what are they called vinyls did she release of this album like 15 different versions there's
there's some like target thing where they were they all from like released at target and then
like if you put them all together it like makes the heirs to our stage so like in terms of yeah
she's very commercial like we've been saying this right and it really popped off when she got with
Travis and was showing up to all of these Chiefs games and like what are we on year three season
three of her being a a wag at the Chiefs games like is this our third year of it yeah I think
it's our 30 year now they're engaged and but that's when it really and then the heiress tour
right it was just like Taylor Swift in our face every single day for like two years right and
then now it's like okay they're engaged she was kind of gone a little bit springtime it's like
quiet and then boom engagement album drop you know press tour so you know it's like we're back and
so uh basically this is my takeaway from the album
and I think it's everyone's takeaway it's like this bitch is 35 why are you talking like you're
having sex for the first time
I felt like such a whore listening to the life of a showgirl
realizing that i i just love loosely saying the word whore i said it on my last episode by the
way like it's kind of it's just it's kind of it's so crass but like listening to her
yeah make these sexual references
in these songs i'm like
you know this is the thing and this is what a lot of this is the breakdown too it's like
she's placate or she's yes she's 35 yes she's engaged yes she's a grown-ass woman
but the brand of Taylor Swift is still like she's 16 in high school and the references are all to
high school and like when she was and like a younger and they're all a younger
uh woman's like life experience and vibe but we can all relate to it because we used to also be
in high school and be young and you know we used to be longing for things we couldn't get and we
were always on the outside and we always you know so we a lot of people like we all can relate to
that we always we all have a story of like crushes and first loves and dating boys and all that so
like the fact she's like 35 and still doing that is because like that's her brand that's Taylor
Swift like that's what she's always done but she hasn't really matured it's like it hasn't
especially with the sexual references in this like the cringe like new heights what was the
redwood tree new heights like alluding to like Travis Kelsey's boner like it's like
it's like very immature right like I think that's what people are saying it's like
that's the consensus it's like so immature and it's like I've always thought I'm like she's been
cringe right she's always been courage but I feel like her diehard fans are like diehard Swifties
now I'm basically admitting that I'm not a diehard Swifty so okay teaser spoiler spoiler alert I'm not
a diehard Swifty that's probably obvious but now I feel like they're waking up to like how she's
always been that way and like or they're waking up to that fact um especially with this album I'm
trying to think let me go down the song list um we've got the fate of ophelia okay i'll be your
father figure is that the one where she's like i'm not a badass and this isn't savage it's like
what you know it's just it's very like huh um and then the one about she like starts a song
saying like everything's about memes and she's talking about like online comments and like it's
very internet speak and it's like this isn't taylor like you know what i mean like taylor
swift is very like lyrically she's a genius lyrically and she writes very um
um, beautifully. I'm so I'm fucking, I, you know, can I do this episode anymore? Am I going to come
up with the right, um, depict the right words here as I'm talking about Taylor Swift being
a lyrical genius. I mean, the song that came to mind after I listened to the life of a showgirl
where i'm like this was this song like is so fucking beautiful and nothing on the life of
a showgirl comes close to i bet you're down in the city what's the song it's um so yeah i'm not
i'm i'm not enough of a swifty to know the words or the lyrics like off the top of my head um
it's i almost do right yeah gorgeous song i bet this time um
and i just want to tell you i'm first time singing on my podcast and i just want to tell you
it takes everything in me not to call you and i wish i could run
and every time you know that every time I almost do I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
because each time like it's such a beautiful song like what's the part where she's like you're
looking out in the city I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window looking out who's like
tuned out. Like, I'm so sorry. I am not, I wish Corey can sing. Okay. Corey has the, he has like
a Frank Sinatra fucking voice. He's such a sleeper. You would never know it about, about him,
but I wish we could do it and sing. And I wish that I had the pipes, you know, to measure up
because it's, I am God awful. And I remember being in church as a kid, standing next to my mom,
belting the church songs, being like, you're so off pitch. You can't fucking sing. And she would
admit to that too like she can't but like I am her now like I can't fucking sing I bet you're
sitting in your chair by the window like some of her songs are so beautiful and I think here you
know I'll just do it now fuck it this is my Taylor Swift official opinion
it only took us four hours to get to this point of the episode okay
i
i ebb and flow that's annoying i should take a stand i
I like some of her music
that's kind of it okay I get down to cruel summer or whatever like it's blue shape of your life
or I don't I never know any of the lyrics I just know the vibes of the songs I get down to so like
there's probably 10 songs I get down to okay I love some of her songs love it feels like the
perfect night no that's not the song um should I just go down my like top Taylor Swift songs I'm
sure they're like your your favorites too I almost do okay um I don't even know the the names of
this I'd have to hear them honestly to know if I like to remember like okay Cruel Summer that
shit's got how many uh oh all of her top Spotify ones are her new album so you can't see how many
downloads but like Cruel Summer um
Bad Blood wait I forgot and now I got Bad Blood see I didn't like Wildest Dreams is pretty see
there's a lot of so basically I like her music that's where I'm at I don't I am like in terms of
her as a person as a as like a celebrity as a pop star I am like neutral and different don't really
nothing like registers in my brain like positively or negatively she just is in my mind like she is
a pop star she is so fucking famous and she is amazing and look what she has done with her fans
over the years and how cool and that's so awesome like dads and daughters are bonding over Taylor
Swift music and going to her concerts like I can acknowledge the greatness I totally see it right
like I but nothing registers in my brain like I'm like I like some of her songs but I'm also in the
camp of like she's kind of just average like she's kind of just like an but that's like her brand
right so you're like well that's her brand and so like she can like lean into being like a kind of
an average white girl you know like an average basic white girl who's dorky and cringe and
because that's who she is and like she doesn't need to be anything else right like I can
but like I don't I can't be like she sucks and I hate her because I don't I don't think she sucks
and I don't hate her so like I'm not a I'm not a full hater this is what I'm a hater of to be
honest when it comes to Taylor Swift I'm it okay and I have so many friends that are gonna hate
this right now so please if you're a friend of mine and you're a Swifty just I love you but like
hear me out also and like maybe just stop listening at this point the thing is the thing
that I just maybe it's it's not I don't have hatred towards Taylor Swift I and I don't even
the word the word isn't hate I cannot understand at all in any way the way grown women worship
Taylor Swift and do these like costume parties of her albums and the different eras and like
go to the movie theater to like watch like and then like go to like four era shows and like
no they know like all of these little easter egg details and and all the lore
and and they fought they like I mean I see people repost Taylor Swift people grown ass women women
all white girls by the way honestly it's like always the white girls but like
I don't know maybe do I I wish I had more black friends honest to god like I'm like
dude, I need to fucking hook it up with my, yeah, so, so funny, like, my, like, some of my favorite
friends from the past were not white girls, and I just, like, yeah, I don't know, anyways, I,
because, I don't know, something, they're so, like, fucking, they're actually funny, like,
black people are actually funny, like, they actually are, and I, I, I appreciate that,
And they also like, aren't like when you hang out with like black girls, like they're just
like, they're so comfortable.
Like there's all of them, all of the ones I've ever, like all of my coworkers, friends
like at school, like they were all just like so confident too.
And I always admired that in them.
They weren't like insecure, like meek little, like brittle white girls like Taylor Swift.
They're like fucking Rihanna.
Like there's different vibes.
Okay.
Black people, white people have different vibes.
We can all admit it.
It's not like, this is not a racist thing.
Like not, it's not across the board. Okay. There's stereotypes and I am alluding to those,
but like, there is something about a boss bitch black woman who's like confident that I look up
and funny and like honest and no bullshit that I appreciate as a white woman. Okay. So I'm
admitting to that. Like I crave that. And I, anyways, the white girls I follow who repost
Taylor Swift videos, it's like, they're reposting, like, it's like so fangirl and so like
an obsessive where I'm like I just don't know what happens in the brain where you get
that enamored by Taylor Swift and I almost think it's groupthink it's like when you
it's almost like her people like the PR machine behind her and it's like propaganda dude like
it's like fuck it like it's it's like people's minds become like altered because of
it's like you hear Taylor Swift obsession and then you become obsessed with Taylor Swift or
Taylor's what you know what I'm saying so that's the thing I don't I don't hate Taylor Swift I just
don't understand that like I just and I think it bothers me because I'm like
it's not cute to be
in my opinion fucking cares live your life honestly like shake your asses I'm Taylor
Swift with your girlfriends and your heirs to her outfits and there's nothing I don't I don't
even hate that like go to the concerts like it's a it's fucking amazing look at how many
people it brings together and how many friendships happen over Taylor Swift and how many cool like
I'm holding space for that
okay I'm holding
it's not a blank space it's a full
space I'm holding a lot of space for that
okay what other puns
can I come up with to tailor stuff I'm hitting
a wall I don't have any caffeine on board and the only thing we
have left here is a spindrift a lemon
spindrift that was fucking $8 at Trader Joe's
now these are now I think in
2020 these were $5.99 now they're $7.99
so cool shout out
inflation
this is the first time I left Trader Joe's
oh my god
two times now I've gone to Trader Joe's and the cashier's like, this is the most I've ever
charged someone or like rang someone up for one time. It was over $900. And one time it was
because I was buying alcohol for a party and it was like, that's just what, that's what made it
expensive. So that's one thing, but it was still a lot. Um, and then like 25 packs of ground beef
for dog food that I was making. And that was expensive, I guess too. So, and some like
steaks. Cause you know, I'm always cooking and like, what did I start the episode off with?
Oh no. The fucking rotten meat. Yeah. Just always cooking steak. I just love steak. I could eat
steak every day. I could. And this last time, this is literally last week, $600 at Trader Joe's.
Okay. And it's just Corey and I, excuse me. I don't even spend that much at Costco sometimes.
I'm like what in the fuck is going on and I'm not like I am blessed and I am admitting this to like
go to Trader Joe's and to like get what I need and leave right like I'm not like calculating every
price as I'm buying stuff and that is a privilege I know that's a beautiful place to be in life
but like this was the first time in a minute where I'm like I think I need to start considering the
prices of this shit and I'm at fucking Trader Joe's and I've never had to do that so yeah I
don't know what's going on but yeah these these spin drifts I want it right now it's they're so
good to like ration these like the next time I see Corey drink two of these in a day I'm gonna have
to I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to uh I'm gonna have to discipline him what do you guys
think our dynamic is by the way what's our marriage or what's our couple's dynamic
I'm a dumb top have you guys seen this fucking video oh my god oh my god dude this is a good
palate cleanser and then we're gonna get back to Taylor Swift because I was talking my shit but I
feel like that's like a common idea and thought about her fans I need lip gloss the whole like
being a grown woman and obsessed to the point of like crying over when she gets engaged and like
it's like strange to me I don't know
maybe it's because I'm too damaged to understand it I always say that whenever people are really
like over or not it's not overly positive but just free to feel
this is sad this is fucking sad whenever I see my fellow women especially because I feel like
women are more expressive with their emotions seem like they're free
in how or or when they seem like they are they get it out when they
seem free and how they allow themselves to feel if that makes sense like they're not repressing
any emotions they're just they see Taylor Swift doing something beautiful and amazing and wonderful
and they just like yeah oh my god I'm gonna cry like queen like yes oh my god like they're not
they're not feeling any other type of way other than just like love adoration like joy feeling
and they're just like their body is so like unabused like they're not abused they're not
scathed and beaten down by life and they're not damaged to the point where like they are
a you know a like a an initial hater on that or like uh no I'm not even a hater towards it's like
you're just you've you've like a block where you're not you can't just be joyful because
your default setting is like skeptic or like you're like a curmudgeon about everything
you know what I mean so dude okay this video is such a good palate cleanser
Corey sent this to me I need to I might have to scroll back in her dms because I don't know
oh man I'm gonna I'm gonna get to it okay we're gonna get to it it's this interview on a on the
street like you see these interviews where god we send so many Instagram videos so this might take a
with her. So let me find, did I not send it to her? This is so annoying. This is so annoying.
Okay. Um, maybe if I just type in, I'm a dom top on my, have you guys seen this video?
I'm a dom top. Oh yeah. She's how we talk. This is so fucking good. I'm sorry. I can't.

pleasure thank you you're awesome i'm a dom top i just love that fucking it's just so aggressive
I'm an aggressive dom top oh my god okay palette cleanser it's kind of a yeah
see my podcast it's uh it's a clusterfuck and that's why I love
podcasting because I can say that and it's it's uh it makes oh my god
I just wrote a blurb for my show and I it literally starts out with the Jacqueline Monroe
show is defined by contrast okay here we are talking about Taylor Swift and how white girls
are getting wet from watching her uh uh in her double-lined tights or whatever they the
the fucking tights and the little glitter outfit her grinding on a chair at the heiress tour like
like grown women adult women crying and coming in their pants to taylor swift and then which is
like super light and and you know airy and you know and then we're talking about
uh, you know, this, this, this bisexual, what did he say? I'm gay and bisexual.
And he's talking about railing people in the ass and being a dumb top. So,
um, okay. So yeah, that's my, that's where I'm at with Taylor Swift. Love her songs, love her,
um like honestly like I think I can get down to a lot of her songs but in terms of like
being obsessed with her oh my god like I don't have I don't I'm so neutral and different like
whatever um but I acknowledge the the genius I acknowledge the the talent and but at the same
time I'm like it is kind of average like her range like her vocal vocal range isn't anything crazy
to me it's not like like her writing is amazing her ability to write about things that make people
feel things and relate you know things that they can relate to especially being a woman in this
world like that's incredible like um whatever she's doing is working you know what I mean so
I can't hate on that but this was a great breakdown this is a 10 minute video and I don't give a fuck
because this was the best breakdown I have watched on and I think she's got a little list by the way
so it's it's it might be a little difficult to I'm kidding uh I wish I had a lisp sometimes
sometimes I think I have a slight lisp um so just try to tune that out it shouldn't take it
so it doesn't take away from what she's saying because this is an an excellent breakdown
Taylor Swift's new album is many things unfortunately good is not one of them I knew
the album wasn't going to be good as soon as the title was revealed, but the promo pics made me
curious, so I have listened to the album in full. And now having listened to it, the album's problem
is glaringly obvious. The problem is Taylor Swift is aging out of being a white girl. Before you
scroll, let me cook. When Taylor was a teenager, she wanted to be a pop star, so her parents decided
to take the country route. Keep in mind, this is the 2000s. Pop music was highly sexual, it was
sleazy, and then you had things like bling rap. It's not a place for a little white girl. Country
music on the other hand loves a little white girl and she's blonde they'll eat her up so her family
moved from pennsylvania to tennessee to launch her country career that's why for the first several
years of her career she faked a southern accent she was trying to fit in seem authentic once the
pop landscape started to change the late 2000s and early 2010s that's when she started to transition
to making pop music and now to talk about white girls white girls don't have sex they don't know
what that is white girls are they're cute they're adorable they're like dolls they're precious they
have to be protected. Do you remember a couple months ago whenever parents would bring their
kids to Sabrina Carpenter shows and then act aghast because Sabrina Carpenter who is a highly
sexual artist was referencing sex on stage? Of course they were because how could a short cute
little white girl who is also blonde, a blonde cute little white girl, how could she possibly
know what sex is? It's the assumption. A woman having sexual freedom and willingly engaging in
sex is highly associated with blackness. You can see this most clearly when it comes to things like
disney nickelodeon star i'm seeing this a lot by the way and i know i just talked about black people
i was like going off but like there's this there there's a lot of takes on the life of a showgirl
and i'm hearing and i and i'm trying to understand it better but like they're referencing
like the or they're juxtaposing like being a black girl and blackness with being a white girl
in that experience and how they're different and i just think it's interesting that this is being
brought up a lot and honest to god it's a valid fucking point especially when she starts talking
about i think she talks about miley cyrus and ariana grande in this so there's miley cyrus
she was hannah montana all american girl and what does she do whenever she wanted to shed the disney
image and say hey i'm not just a little girl anymore she really says can't be tamed in bangers
ariana grande another cute little white girl what does she do whenever she wants to shed the
childhood image she releases dangerous woman in sweetener they would do things like hang out with
rappers they would incorporate black music styles into their own music so that way whenever they'd
be sexual it's like oh i'm i'm not just a little white girl anymore and over time they would drift
away from that because that wasn't who they authentically were they were just using that as
a way to escape the chains of being a white girl taylor swift has never had to do that and why
would she she makes being a white girl so fucking profitable and the thing about taylor swift is
that being a white girl is not just profitable for her it's her entire brand because she's just
like so awkward and when she dances on stage she's like bad because she's like awkward and
she loves like cats and baking and like hanging out with her fans and she would likely continue
with this forever except for one small problem taylor swift is 35 years old and it's not like
she's showing signs of aging or anything but the brand of being a white girl is very much being a
white girl what happens in a few years whenever she's 40 what happens whenever she starts to get
wrinkles through middle age it's not cute anymore to be awkward so she's aging out of being a white
girl but she doesn't have a brand or really even a sense of self outside of being a white girl
also low-key this is the entire key to her relationship with Travis Kelsey which is not
going to go well but that's a story for another day t this girl's she's on it so so she's aging
out of being a white girl white girls don't have sex um they're pure little perfect little angels
and they're all like taylor says awkward and she's naive and innocent and it's like okay but
now she's 35 she's engaged she's growing up but she's still acting like a little white girl but
she can't really so it's not translating anymore basically I feel like what this girl is saying is
like Taylor Swift needed to pull like a Miley but I feel like she did wasn't that one it wasn't one
of her albums like super like not raunchy and her but she her like aesthetic changed let me see on
her album list here wasn't it like was it reputation like what album was she like like
you know she plays with her um with her or she switches up her her aesthetic or whatever her vibe
yeah I'm looking here you have there's so many albums I can't keep track and there's like all
these I don't understand Taylor's version is that one she had to re-record because of the masters
with like the whole Scooter Braun thing and then now she like owns her own shit finally I think
that's what it is um yeah so like like folklore okay I feel like okay you've got Speak Now,
Fearless and Taylor Swift those are all very OG like how you think of her holding a guitar with
her blonde curls the OG Taylor Swift vibe switches it up a little bit with red the hair is a little
straighter okay the 1989 what was like the oh yeah shake it off shake it off okay that's when the
vibe changed for me and I was like and like same with bad blood now we got bad blood but then it
was like well this jam's beautiful song on the same album so like the sound was getting more
poppy then and then she comes out with reputation are you ready for it oh yeah yeah okay this is
when she lost me are you ready for it it's like um trying to think if I know any of these songs
I don't know any of the reputation songs which makes sense because she lost me with the ready
for it song I just end game with futures on that song so was reputation now I'm looking at this
album cover and it's it's it's like she's trying to be hard it's like she's trying to be
there's no bangs this is not
it's it's odd the the there's like a choker
the t-shirts off the shoulder it's it's looking like
everything it's so confused it's so confusing to me it's like um so I think reputation was like
when Miley Cyrus came out with bangers right that was like the goal of that or it was just
like a different it was like a switch up like a bad bitch switch up I mean like that's what this
girl's alluding to I'll let she there's like three minutes left in the video but it's kind
of like Taylor Swift needed to legitimately channel like it's kind of fucking crazy and
this is what they're saying about like how white women like uh they like tap into black culture
and like the vibes of black culture they hang out with rappers like what Miley was doing with
with you know when she started getting all slutty and shit and grinding at the fucking VMAs on her
dad or what what was that was she not on her dad what was it a stripper pole or something I was
like holy shit which now is like crazy how tame that is compared to like what um the way the
performances are now but um it's like as if Taylor Swift like she never broke that innocent white
girl thing and I feel like the way you do that is you go black like literally like that's what
these a lot of these takes on her album and just like Taylor Swift in general are are all saying
it's and which is crazy that it's a that black girls are that sex and being sexual and slutty
and all of that is is totally like embraced and like thought about or or associated with
black girls but not white girls even though I mean who whores will be whore I'm like who's the
like what if we had to have a a a fucking freak off between the white girl oh my god I'm so I'm
so, when did I get so crass and out of line? And is this misogynistic? I feel, is this
internalized misogyny? Um, I'm just kind of being matter of fact about it, but like,
I guess in pop music or in, uh, Hollywood pop music in, um,
culture like the stereotypes of white women versus black women are different especially
when it comes to sex and I and I I'm trying to think is that legit or is that just what people
are saying like I'm thinking of my own experience because I feel like the white girls are fucking
too and it's like totally like now it's so normalized and like it's not like a there isn't
like a hard line there um but I think this clean uh like pure innocent white girl trope is kind of
like that doesn't exist the same way for black girls but does it I feel like it's all the shit's
kind of like made up in a way you see it more I guess with white girls so Taylor if she only if
if only she but that's not who she is and that's the thing you got to commend her for like she's
always stayed true to that awkward white girl thing so like her being edgy I guess with reputation
was that her edgy album then you've got lover folklore I mean okay for me it's like lover was
what cruel summer gorgeous song gorgeous song I think I even talked about that song on my last
episode I think that's the only song I know on lover and then okay then you've got like okay
this is when I was just checked out folklore evermore it's like you know horse girl braid
down the back with the fucking flannel in the woods it's very like poet um just the name like
cardigan is a song you know what I mean this doesn't resonate with me it's it seems a little
it's just not it's just never again I think I'm too damaged to feel the vibes of like
wearing a cardigan even though I love falling bundling up and being a basic bitch white girl
with like a pumpkin spice latte and and like yeah just like fuzzy socks like as much as I
that's me something about like reading a book or like holding a book wearing a cardigan
and it's like the drinking of the tea and hanging out with your cats and you knitted the cardigan
that like lifestyle I can't relate to and I feel like that is Taylor Swift that's the difference
I'm like consumer like fucking so is Taylor Swift though
you know there are always there there were always the girls in school that were more like
quirky like that they actually they like I wore the cardigan but they knitted their own cardigan
Like I read three chapters of the book. They read three books in one day. They, I was getting the Frappuccino from Starbucks at the mall. They were brewing tea in their kitchen, um, with their cats on the way to school, like, or whatever.
like there's just like a different vibe going on there um but we're all girls we all want the same
things we all want dick so Taylor Swift really hit that on the head with this album uh Life of a
Showgirl it's all about getting dick down that's what the whole like all of these albums it albums
it's like what is it about what is the what is the point of life like what are we all doing here
everyone's just trying to fucking be fucked you know whenever I deep think about that again we're
so crass I don't know why I don't know is this what happens when you don't work out in the morning
before your podcast and your brain is just mush I don't know am I just am I horny right now like
what the fuck is going on I'm so like tacky and disgusting and annoying like I'm sorry but um
sometimes when I overthink about that I'm like
sex is so disgusting dicks are so ugly and disgusting but like we all like like women
like love dick and that's a thing like this girl also said it oh my god she also said it another
tiktok and we'll go back to this girl I need to remember I'm at 305 okay this girl also said it
I love this girl's videos about dude.
Am I literally doing an entire podcast about Taylor Swift?
This is crazy shit.
And it's like, I'm saying that like, I guess I'm being, I'm shocked by it because yeah,
I've never been like a, I'm not a hater, but I've never been like a fan to the point where
I would podcast about her or say anything about her ever for any reason.
If anything, I'd be like annoyed.
She's on the Jumbotron at the chiefs games all the time now.
And it's like, like, it's so, she's like too much in her face.
that's pretty much all i've ever really said about taylor swift is like she's it's like too
much exposure but this girl said it 2025 the richest most successful women in the world are
dropping albums about being subs for men and i am living for it you know why because real feminism
is about doing whatever the fuck you want and if you want to wake up one morning and say i'm
ophelia rescue me even though you don't need rescuing that's your right here's a song called
wood about my fiance's dick yeah i know i wrote folklore i don't give a shit in fact i'm sick of
all these like long albums that have to be works of art tortured poets department babe i'm here for
this put an ikea chair together and i get wet we're having fun again girls and
i always laugh at this because i'm like dude
the whole doesn't she say in one of the songs on this album that she like
bought girl boss too close to the sun
I always laugh at this type of commentary about like you know in 2025 like Sabrina Carpenter is
just basically like I like dick and she's this little white girl and now Taylor Swift's like
I like dick and she's also well she's tall and she's not like she's a little white girl she's
35 but she's still a little white girl at heart like you get the point and it's like why
do you guys remember like the fucking 4b movement I mean that's still probably a thing I know and
what was that in South Korea that's where it originated from and for like their their reason
for it was like legitimate our reason for it was like it's trendy to hate men and to like not
associate with men and de-center men and but it's like at the end of the day we all like dig so like
why are we trying to hide it it's like just own it you want to be rescued by a man even though
you don't need to be rescued yes you're a girl boss yes you can support yourself and take care
of yourself and all of that but you can also like not want to always be that you know and I think
that's what like she said Taylor Swift with this album is basically saying it's like
also it's like what is she saying in this album like I can't I'm like I'm like trying to figure
out like what is this album saying because it's not giving a life of a show girl it's not we've
just got to remove that from our brains. Like it's not, that's just not what it it's about. Um,
so yeah, I just laugh at that because I'm like,
it's whenever, this is the thing, whenever, especially women, cause I'm like, men never
try to convince themselves of something that they're not. But why do, why do women do that?
or, or did I say that? I didn't complete that. Is it, it's why, why is it that women,
it's because we're always having to prove ourselves. Right. And we're always have,
we're always having to, yeah. And in a, in a world where we are, you know,
i mean yeah we're at we're discriminated against we're at a disadvantage we're oppressed we're
for centuries at all that so it's like we've always felt this need to prove ourselves
but men i mean what i'm saying is why do women always have to
do this mental gymnastic shit and
try to prove to themselves and to the world that there's something
other than what they are or their
that what they want or what they want how they want to live or who they want to be
isn't who they innately are and especially biologically are you know what I mean and
that's a whole like girl boss movement okay we all I do think there's just like this pushback
now and there's this like realization women are waking up and they're like what the fuck was that
why the fuck did we want to like go to work that bad and like be in a man's world and live
like a man and be like a man that much like it sucks like it fucking sucks to be
you know to like want babies and to like have this innate desire to like be a mother and like
once you do that you're like fuck like and I know a lot of women do it and they're totally happy
doing it and everything but a lot of women are like being a working mom is bullshit you know like
why the fuck did we ever want this like it shouldn't be this way and um amazing we have
the option progress I can acknowledge that um I'm not saying it's all bad but I think
women are like burnout of the girl bossing at this moment in time and they're just like I just
want to like be rescued I just want to like have a basketball hoop and I want what is what is her
song about I just want people to like leave us the fuck alone me and Travis I just want them to
leave us the fuck alone I want to have your babies they're gonna look like you they're gonna run
around the block with their friends in our in our suburban neighborhood with our basketball hoop
and um I just want to I just want to I just want your redwood redwood uh I just want to be
digmatized by your redwood dick and I just want that and your love to open my thighs because your
dick isn't the thing that opens my thighs it's the love I have for you that opens my thighs that
your love is what does that so that's honest you know and it's like refreshing that like women are
being honest about their true desires and wants that have been suppressed because they've girl
boss too close to the sun I does she say that in her I think she says that in one of her songs which
which is kind of like girl boss is like cringe like why would you say girl boss
i feel like she used a lot a little too much internet speak and
like the word memes you know she used that word which is like
a lot of people are like that's so not taylor stuff to use the like memes as a lyric um
surprise she didn't use like keyboard keyboard warriors or like i don't know um
what else do i have about taylor swift we got to finish this girl's video three minutes and
five seconds in taylor swift okay in 2025 okay wow three minutes
here we go
come on tiktok it's loading it's not cute anymore to be awkward so she's aging out of being a white
girl but she doesn't have a brand or really even a sense of self outside of being a white girl
also low-key this is the entire key to her relationship with travis kelsey which is not
going to go well but that's a story for another day and keep in mind the world has been moving on
an artist like sabrina carpenter could not exist 10 years ago there was nowhere in the pop landscape
for her for like a little a cute little white girl who's that sexual it just it didn't exist
and then on top of that things have been rapidly changing politically so people want different
things from women now and the life of a showgirl is a testament to taylor's inability to rise to
the occasion like on the song wish list oh everybody wants bright lights and designer
things and they want like a fat ass but but me then we get to the chorus but but me i i just
want to have all of your kids i want to have all of your kids and then i want to live in a house
and i want the driveway to have a basketball hoop in it for for our kids and taylor's personal
struggle between her being her own woman and her being a cute little white girl is really embodied
by the song wood it's called wood because it's in reference to travis kelsey's penis
that dick balls but the song isn't sexual at all because the song isn't about sex it's about a
woman justifying the fact that she has sex the song starts with her picking petals off of a
daisy oh he loves me he loves me not taylor portrays herself as being super insecure until
travis kelsey digmatizes her and opens up her eyes and keep in mind white girls cannot be sexual
beings it's not that she has sexual feelings it's that a man came along and unlocked it in her
the curse was lifted you see you guys it's not about sex at all it's about love his love was
the key that opened my thighs i i don't have sexual feelings i'm just a little white girl
because this album is supposed to be her embodying her sexual energy thus life of a showgirl but
taylor either feels unable or isn't willing or whatever it is you want it to be taylor doesn't
actually embody it she doesn't explore it because the the embodiment of her sexual energy would come
at the expense of the brand of taylor swift it's just it's seemingly not compatible or at least
she thinks or her team thinks that it's not compatible so she has to be her own fully
embodied grown woman in order to keep up with the times but she also has to be like a cute little
white girl in order to keep up with the brand of taylor swift and in trying to do both she
successfully does nothing i would be really curious to know if the album was even her idea
especially since so many of the songs sounds like rejected tracks off of some of her old albums
also how are you gonna have an album called life of a showgirl and yet not a single fucking song
on the album has a brass section showgirl music is big band it's blaring horns it's a hell of a
lot of fun and it just it just did not exist on this album not to mention none of the songs
actually have anything to do with being a showgirl and really not even the song the life of a showgirl
like she could have just used the word follies once and i would have been satisfied but discussing
why the music isn't good sonically is not really the purpose of this video if you have any questions
or you disagree with me, please let me know.
Okay.
Spot on.
It's so funny.
People in the comments are being like,
me the entire time,
even though I don't listen to Taylor Swift
and it's just like SpongeBob glued to his TV.
People are like, I'm just here to be nosy.
I've never listened to a Taylor Swift song.
They're like scared.
Me, a black man that has no clue
what's going on in the Taylor Swift fandom.
People are just sat for this.
She...
um, yeah, I feel like she nailed it.
Beyonce dropped lemonade when she was the same age lemonade. I think that's when she,
that was like Beyonce's flop album, I guess. I don't, I don't, I don't remember that. I think
I heard about it was a flop, but like, I didn't, I don't have any, did I just get a knock on my
door or was that my microphone? Shit. That scares me. I'm alone. The dogs are with Corey at work
today scary times I rely on their barks to know when the bad guys are here um also people are
like oh it's because she's happy and she's in a happy healthy relationship like that's why she
really has nothing to say and so she'll probably like this is probably this is probably what will
happen is chiefs will finish their season they'll get married maybe they'll have kids right away
maybe not I don't really know what the situation maybe they'll break up fucking who knows maybe
they won't make it till the end of the chief season or the NFL the football season um in a
while um so like the timeline might be like she goes and lives some life gets married kids whatever
and then like comes back and just crushes another album this won't be her last isn't this number 12
and like her whole thing is like the number 13 so yeah it was not good it was not good
uh, a couple of catchy little bops, like a little, you know, on the way to the gym the other day,
I had, uh, I had Elizabeth Taylor stuck in my head a little bit, but
I mean, just the album cover alone. It's like,
Like, okay, the same way people are saying, like, you know how like Kim Kardashian always dresses in superhero suits and like, or she has this aesthetic that's very Kim Kardashian and very Balenciaga-esque and like very like tight suits and like those boots that like, like pants that,
and boots that are sewn together but it's like the boot and the pant are one
uh thing you know what I mean like the whole suit like there's no there's like a zipper in the back
it's like a it's like a she's wearing like onesies but the footies of the onesie are like boots with
like stilettos okay and she's wearing like these futuristic glasses you get the like she has like
a very but but so many people are like she needs to like switch that up right like she needs to
switch that up and I'm like with Taylor Swift it's like the bangs maybe get rid of the bangs
I'm feeling this way for myself by the way I'm like I've had the same I had a blonde era a little
blonde midlife mid-20s crisis era of bleach blonde during the pandemic okay we all know that
but recently I've been like I kind of want to switch it up like I don't know if it's a chop
I don't know if it's a different color I don't know if it's bangs I don't know I just feel like
I've been doing the same thing for this the same way for so long which works for me you know I'm
I like my long dark hair but with Taylor Swift I'm like
I don't know like she just needs a sweet job it'd be so sick if she like
just for the fans just to like get something different I don't know I feel I feel like she's
been one note for so long and it's like every artist like it's good to do a rebrand you know
it's good to like and you know who does a good job of that I will say is Bieber. Justin Bieber he's
always had that like fuckboy swag vibe or whatever like like if you think of Justin Bieber the
different hair over the years the different types of clothes he wore like even now just how he
dresses and stuff and how he his like buzz cut he does and over time he's gotten more and more
tattoos and um trying to think with taylor stuff it's like always the bangs and the red lip and
the blonde hair and i don't know it's kind of like you know what i mean maybe that would help
she could have done oh my god what if she life of a showgirl could have been such a i just it
just wasn't it it just wasn't what I think I'm too hung up on the name of the album because I'm
trying to think of the type of she could have done like a sick rebrand like maybe just temporarily
until they get married and then she could go back to like her old like how she usually looks but
like it'd be so cool she came out with this like completely new thing that's I feel like what was
missing um she got a new face though something's different on the face which god bless you know
women are just trying to like keep it snatched forever and everyone's getting a facelift now
I don't think she did I think she just got a little nip tuck a little work a little maybe a
little too much filler I would say something's a little too maybe she had too many electrolyte
packets like me the day before that interview and she's swollen because you know that's what
happens to me but um oh i like this this guy is like if you hate taylor swift's lyrics just
pretend they were written by mf doom i was your father figure we drank that brown liquor you made
a deal with this devil turns out my dick's bigger you want to fight you found it i got the place
surrounded you'll be sleeping with fishes before you know that you're drowning whose portraits on
a man nice I was your father figure we drank that brown liquor you made a deal with this devil
turns out my dick's bigger oh yeah she said that referencing her dick in this song
um I don't know why do we care about people that we don't know why do we care about celebrity so
much why do we do all this deep dive and bullshit it's like I don't know it's part of life like
being a human and then like seeing other humans that are super famous do things and they make art
and then you get to experience their art and listen to their art or watch their art or whatever
it is whatever type of art they do and you get to analyze it and think about it and and you know at
the end of the day they're just a human being but it's crazy how much money she's fucking making it
you know, yeah. Do I have any other notes? Any other thoughts? Should we get into these
Reddit stories? I'll just read a couple. I don't want to, like, do too much of this.
Wait, no, that's not it. Scary stories from Reddit.

The question is, when did your instincts scream, leave now, and what did you later find out that you avoided?
So here we go.
When I was 13, my aunt took me to the beach.
It was a little later in the day and pretty empty, just me and her.
Not too far out, I found a sandbar.
the water went from knee deep to suddenly not being able to touch the ground but I went out
further and found a second sandbar where I could touch the ground again. I kept diving under the
water to try to feel around for sand dollars but I noticed a faint buzzing that started
getting louder and louder. There were no boats or anything and I could only hear when my head
was under the water but it sounded like something was big was next to me and super close it was
starting to weird me out so I looked back at my aunt who was standing next to two other people
frantically waving at me and screaming but I couldn't hear what they were saying
I just do right then and there don't splash don't panic and move slow I basically tried
the pace of just walking back even when my feet couldn't touch the ground the buzzing I was
hearing turned out to be sharks circling me two joggers noticed the fins and told my aunt and
they weren't dolphins and that that they weren't dolphins and that they were getting closer to me
my aunt was pissed was pissed I took so long getting out but I told her I felt like it would
have been an awful idea to start kicking and splashing and something was telling me to go
as slow as possible. That's crazy. Because when she was describing the buzzing sound underwater,
I was thinking she was like by a dam or something. I'm like, my brain was like,
is she going to get chopped up in like a, like, I don't know if something's underwater that like
chops things up. I don't know if this, where was she at? A lake? No, no. She was at the ocean.
of course they're sharks um yeah my brain was not thinking sharks that's a good one
um okay a little less dark than most comments here but I but I thought I'd share and I want
to think do I have a oh shit I'm glad I listened to my instincts and left when I did moment
I feel like I do let me think about it as I'm reading these
actually I can't think I can't multitask but like we'll try well I'll try to like remember something
I went to the zoo with some friends and my girlfriend there was this huge bird cage I
forgot the word where you could sorry there was this huge bird cage I forgot the word where you
could walk in and see all the little colorful birds is that an atrium it's like a bird atrium
thing as we were walking we noticed a dispenser where you could buy some seeds and sugary water
to feed the birds so we did all fun and games until my gut told me we had to leave I took my
girlfriend's hand and we made our exit and two minutes later so did my friends who were covered
in bird shit okay that wasn't that crazy I want like scary shit um
My mom had something like this.
It was back in 2003 when I was 12, my sister 10.
My mom and dad were planning a date night,
and they were going to have us kids stay with our grandma and great-grandma for the night.
My mom said she changed her mind last minute, and instead they rescheduled and we all stayed home.
My grandma's house burned down that night,
killing my great-grandma and severely injuring my grandma and one of our uncles.
had my sister and I been there we would have likely been in the same room with
great grandma or with our great grandma or grandma and both of us would have died
yeah that's sad he's not like this is like that's you know those videos like there's this one in
particular where like it's crazy this guy almost gets like hit by a bus or like a gate I forget
what it was but right before he gets he gets out of the or this guy like just it was almost like
divine or like this was like a ghost or something like grabs him and just like moves him slightly
so he doesn't die I don't know if you guys have seen that video but like those are
like imagine how many oh shit I know we all have probably if we could see the surveillance on our
life and like the things we avoided. I'm sure we've all been in those situations like a few
times without realizing it. Um, sad news on Yosemite, um, or in Yosemite about the climber
that fell off El Capitan. I don't know if you guys saw that. I just remembered kind of along
the lines of this topic of listening to your instincts this poor guy um they were live streaming
these climbers ascending to the top of El Capitan which is we just went to Yosemite and this this
uh this cliff this rock this mountain what it's a mountain what is it a rock face it's like the
biggest wall in the world like rock climbing climbing wall in the world and it's taller than
Burj Khalifa it's huge and it's crazy like when you see people up there climbing they're like
ants and you're just like how are like how you know like how but anyways someone was live streaming
the climbers summiting and getting to the top and while they were live streaming
this poor kid was rappelling to get his bag that got stuck and he went off the end of his rope
there wasn't a stopper or a knot or anything to save him and as he's rappelling down unfortunately
I saw the video, he like runs out of rope and just goes and just falls. And you could see it
like the last second I'm trying to like grab onto his bag or something. And, um, so yeah, really
sad. I mean, just like not thinking, I guess, where you're like, Oh, I'm frustrated. My bag
got stuck. I'm going to go get it. And then not thinking about your, I don't know, like freak
stuff happens like that with climbing but um yeah really really sad um I was taking the southbound
red in Chicago during winter time isn't like oh my god what the fuck's going on in Chicago I should
have covered that is it Chicago yeah they're like sending the national garden or something or like
there's so many the cops are basically like giving up or I don't really it's just awful and stupid
and sad and I'm not trying to be negative but like I don't know if you guys feel this too but like
this country is like legitimately it feels like turning to shit
like it's like a slow decay but it's like happening I just I don't know how else to say it like
I mean I love my community I love where I live here but I feel like I'm in a bubble compared
to some other places in the country where I'm like it's getting bad out there maybe it's all
but then they're like it's propaganda like that like let me see the Chicago like let me just type
in Chicago crime
Chicago crime
crackdown National Guard
troops arrive
amid tensions
Chicago crime
boy found shot to death
on south side
police say blah blah
sad
crime in Chicago
what you need to know
Two weeks after deploying military troops and federal law enforcement agents to Washington, D.C.,
President Trump said he like, oh, okay, I don't really fucking care, but it's just sad.
Looking at recent data, Chicago's overall crime rate in June was 444 incidents per 100,000 residents.
i don't know basically i heard something that was like national guards going to chicago
trump said something about like it'll be good practice and then for like our military
and then also like it's a good day when only five people die
or something because it's like usually like 40 people a day or some crazy number so
how bad is crime in chicago
let me look up images I just want to get like a vibe here
it's like why now what's going on like what changed or it's always been bad but like how
why is it this bad did something happen what's going like you know I don't really back to uh
reddit okay um I was taking the southbound red in Chicago during winter time a few years ago
And three people wearing balaclava, I think this is like a weapon or something.
Are these like brass knuckles? Balaclavas? Balaclavas? Baklava?
Baklava.
Entered my car, which was already pretty full.
So this is the red, it must be a subway.
Two were standing in front of one exit and the other guy was standing in front of the other.
I saw them scan people in the car in my peripheral vision then the guy standing alone looked over at
the other two and gave them the okay nod I felt like something was about to go down so I got off
the next stop and walked the rest of the way home fortunately was not stopped by one of those guys
when I passed them probably because there are other people in the car about 10 minutes later
I got a ping from the citizen app saying something along the lines of robbery shooting at the next
station i passed the next station on the walk back and saw tons of cop cars along with an ambulance
packed parked at the entrance
that's sad yeah i really want to think like she's on the episode this is getting kind of long
it always is but i feel like a time when i was like oh i just got i just avoided that
like a safety thing
you know like I feel like if I had something it'd be like really vivid in my mind and I'd be like
oh my god I remember when trying to think of animals because I grew up around a lot of farm
animals and stuff like did I almost like get charged by something or kicked or bucked off or
bitten or I feel like I do have a lot of sketchy situation stories but nothing where I'm like
because I did this or I made this decision during the sketchy situation I like
survived or whatever you know it hasn't been like that I know of but that crazy um
yeah like what comes to mind
I've gotten like hurt a lot
you know just stuff happening
or you like fall or
trying to think like
because you know like
I feel like I have
okay this is annoying
I can't think of something right now
I have to pee
sorry tmi
should i read like gossip on reddit like what's the gossip right now you know like
what's happening in the influencer world like who's getting what's the drama
there was some like birkenbag drama i saw i really i don't really care
um, with like Danielle Bernstein.
I used to follow her back in the day. I don't really know. She's still doing the fashion stuff.
I don't know. I don't care. Um,
Birkin bag drama. You know what I mean? Like all of this is like, who fucking cares? What do I care
about right now I care about and honestly this was the highlight of my week I'll just tell you
um today podcasting highlighted my week was a little rough I can admit um I always say that
and I think that's why I need to start podcasting at least two days a week I think I'm gonna I'm
gonna do this again on Friday I just need to do it more I feel well behind the scenes I'm in this
phase of growth with the show that I've never been in, which is fun and exciting and cool.
But like, um, it's, uh, it's like my, uh, what do I call it?
My, oh my God, you guys, I'm falling apart.
It's like my home, my home base or my home.
What am I saying?
my, like, I always fall back on my podcast whenever, like with everything.
It's like, um, it's always here.
It's never going away.
Like, even if I like don't post this week or not, like whatever, like if I don't post
in a week, it's like, it's always going to be here.
Like you can always guarantee that I will be podcasting.
Like, or you can, I can, I can guarantee that like is so, but with that being said,
like, I just feel like I'm in this phase of like needing, needing to do it more.
And, um, I know I like took a couple months off. I was, that was a strategy thing for again,
like behind the scenes stuff, but that's like annoying. Cause I can't tell you, but then now
I'm like, okay, I don't need to worry about that shit anymore that I was working on. So now I can
like go and do it more. But then, yeah, when I, when I don't show up every week or like multiple
times a week like I used to it just feels like I don't know guys my the highlight of my week was
yeah this podcast and honestly grocery shopping making beauty videos decorating for fall buying
pumpkins going oh my god we went to the pumpkin patch I'm looking at my camera roll
doing all the fall things pumpkin patch what else um
oh my gosh working on our backyard so we have we're we're landscaping the shit out of our
backyard right now like we keep buying plants like every weekend we're going to the nursery
and buying plants and um yeah my my highlight or just like my life right now is very wholesome and
beautiful and lovely and I'm enjoying and this year I am enjoying or this year I will be embracing
fall and winter and the cold season and the dark season and the dark times. Like I think this,
this last year in San Diego was the first year where I admitted to myself that San Diego,
San Diego gets cold. We do have a winter stop. Like I had to tell myself, like, you cannot
fight this anymore. It's not always sunny in San Diego. It's not always warm in San Diego. It's
not always 75 and sunny like it does get really cold to the point where you're like I need a coat
I need a puffy coat I need a rain jacket I need to like bundle up and wear layers and I can't just
like wear a tank top and shorts every day so this year I'm like I got a new by the way I just
like cleaned out my closet again like I keep doing that but I got some new jackets that are warm
that I'm gonna wear all fall and winter and I have been I've been buying sweaters okay I've
and getting some like fall warm things and you know I'm like actually like I'm feeling the vibes
this year and I'm not like fighting it I always feel the fall vibes and like the the holiday like
warm and fuzzy feelings with like Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas but this year I'm
this year I'm I feel like I'm gonna enjoy it more because I know what's coming and I'm not gonna
fight the cold. Cause I hate being cold. That that's the thing. I hate being cold so much
that. So I moved to San Diego. Like I'm like, I need to be in the sunshine. Like that's how much
I hate the cold. Um, but yeah, now I'm prepared mentally and physically with my warm clothing.
And it's like, God, we're blessed to live here though. It's a, it's a mild winter compared to
some other places speaking of chicago like so much more mild than the midwest and the northeast and
um do we have anything else
i don't know i just i'm gonna podcast on friday come hell or high water i'm doing it
we gotta i need to do this more i feel out of sorts when i'm not doing it more regularly and
oh I had a scary thing happen speaking of health every now and then like a lymph node on my neck
will swell up and I'm like what the fuck is this this one scared me so much to the point where I
was like I was at the store this is when I bought my leather jacket I was like in the dressing room
and I like felt my neck and I started like getting instant anxiety like oh my god what is this lump
you know it's officially like gone and down I'm pretty sure it was a lymph node but it was bigger
than usual and it was like it felt like it was literally like on my jugular vein like blocking
like I thought it was part of my vein and it was like a clogged thing you know I was like what the
hell and then of course I took a million pictures and sent it to chat gbt and it was like relax
bitch it's probably just a swollen lymph node people your age like yeah you should be worried
you should be checking for those things but like it's you know not the chat gbt is always right but
um anything else on my camera roll here
did i tell you guys we went to a music festival have we talked since then we went to the cross
fest here um it's funny how like I'll just tell you like marital drama it's not even drama
at all but like it's so funny how we get a Corey and I get along about most things like pretty
much everything right it's so funny when we've been picking out picking out these plants for
our backyard we kind of butt heads and it's so funny how we butt heads because
he okay this is what I realized about Corey and I and the difference in how we think
he is it's just it's funny because like we both have the same vision for the backyard
but in terms of like how it gets done and how it happens or it's different we have a
we don't have the same vision or like the way we get it done is different or the way we think we
should get it done is different right in our minds so he and this is so like guy brain versus girl
brain I think or my brain especially just Jacqueline he is so like action oriented solution
direction oriented, um, ABC, like, let's just get it done. Like go, go, go just dig the whole
plant, the plant. Okay. He's like very much, um, like that's how his brain works, which is amazing.
So I never have to worry if shit's going to get done because it's done yesterday. Okay. He's very
quick at getting shit done. And anyways, I'm like, and the thing is, is like, we're both thinking
10 steps ahead okay no what here's how I think okay so I'm also like okay let's get shit done
but I'm like what did I say I said it so perfectly to him because I was painting the picture after I
was like wait this is how we are when we get into it when we are dealing with the plants I'm like
I'm I can't or I also what did I say I said I'm thinking he thinks fast I said I think slow
oh my god I'm falling apart I said it so perfectly he thinks it's like um
in boxing or whatever it's like slow means fast fast means slow it's like a it's like a
like a phrase you've probably heard but I'm like I'm thinking of
I'm more slow in studying methodical right and the reason why is because he's thinking of the
this is what it is it's like when we were dealing with the plants we were buying the plants and it
was like okay we got to plant the plants he's thinking about the next step right of like okay
we got to get this backyard done so we need to plant the plants we got to put the plant in the
ground right and I'm like I'm also like I want the plants in the ground I want our backyard to be
beautifully landscaped but the reason why I'm not fast about it is because I'm thinking of
10 steps ahead and then I'm working backwards trying to like mitigate as many like like
challenges and hang-ups with planting the plants right away as possible because if we plant them
right away what if this comes up and what if this comes up down the line I want to make sure we
avoid that so I'm thinking ahead that far because if we have to like I don't want to get into the
weeds about specifics but like location of the plants and like if they grow are we gonna have
our legs scratched when we walk down the stairs from this plant if we put it there should we put
it here and like I'm calculating all this I'm very I'm like so methodical and slow about it in my
mind and he's like we just gotta put the plants in the ground I'm like but anyways it's funny I
said it so perfectly I wish I could repeat it I said I'm just always I'm always thinking of
like risk management or crisis aversion or like how I can yeah which we balance each other out
so perfectly in that way because shit gets done because the way he thinks and then shit will get
done like the right way the right way okay or like the more like methodical thought out way
because of me does that make sense um because he's like ripped the band-aid off let's just
fucking do it and we'll figure it out like I'm like no no I don't want to have to dig up plants
because we put them in the wrong spot like I want to think about this but um it's kind of like when
you buy fish though I will say we planted like 60 plants on in our backyard there we have more
there's still fucking plants and pots we have to plant but um it's kind of like when you buy fish
it's really sad when you buy like 20 fish for a fish tank three of them die you know and like
overnight and you're like fuck you know you lost three there's like three bushes that just I don't
think are gonna make it they got transplant shock when you transplant the plants into the new soil
but anywho um I'm getting dry mouth that probably means it's time to end the podcast
just for funsies what's on the breaking news right now did i miss anything as i was podcasting did
anything come through um arson suspect generated chat gbt image of burning city
before starting deadly palisades fire authorities say that's wild
i don't know disney pairs aggressive discounts with small price increases
parks here's why yeah like there's no one going to disneyland anymore
um the numbers are down there oh it's fucking playoffs for
baseball
Travis Kelsey
sort of shares thoughts about
the song Wood
Taylor Swift's tribute to his manhood
I mean just this
headline
like
it's so not
like this is so uncool
like it's so uncool
like not that she's ever been like a
this whole the it's just the dick thing it's like the the
the cringe sexual references of this album it's like
and and the internet language that she used it's like for her
and that's why people are like these are all the reject songs that didn't make it
on the other albums or whatever but like it's just so not
like when you're writing an album it's like you knew this was going to be a headline you
knew this what people are going to be talking about about referencing Travis Kelsey's tank
and like the fact that because of course they'll that that is oh the song's about
knocking on wood and whatever the fuck she said or like I think or no she was on an interview I
think with Fallon and she was like it started from a really innocent place this song and then here we
ended up here I mean it's kind of tongue-in-cheek and funny and like okay but I don't know if she
cares about being like cool and like not cringe I guess I don't know she said new heights in the
song like referring to like um Travis goes it's a great song Travis Kelsey said which
which clear which oh my god and the episode it's a great song Travis Kelsey said which clearly
wasn't enough for Jason Kelsey who followed up by asking do you feel cocky about the song would
no any song that you know she references me in travis kelsey began to say before jason cut them
that's not just any song jason kelsey said this is a very specific you
travis kelsey pretended to be clueless i love that girl so what do you mean he said
he's okay i'm sorry but travis kelsey's personality type though like i get why they
work you know what I mean like I do see I don't know if I could handle his he's like
hold on I almost just want to like let me just type in Travis Kelsey because it reminds me of
okay yeah handsome tall you know tall dark and handsome football player cool like quote unquote
like hot guy type. Okay. But maybe it's just because of the way he is on his podcast. I don't
know, like the interview sometimes. I feel like he's a little immature. I don't know how to explain
it. There's like different brands, different levels to dork. You know what I mean? Like
there's like a different and they're like a it's a spectrum right like dork is a spectrum but like
it's all about finding someone who because dorky is a good it's okay to be to have that dorky side
but it can't be like annoying dork and I feel like for me Travis Kelsey is like annoying dork
he thinks dad jokes are funny type of shit type shit I don't know what I'm saying
Cory's the first man I've ever known that's like actually funny like actually fun like
it's not even a it's not even subjective like it's just there's
yeah
in his parents he gets his good
his good timing from his parents he gets his
from both of his parents are the same way
it's like all we do when we hang out is just like
laugh and joke and it's
just like fun but I think like
some people are like dad joke funny
I feel like that's how Travis Kelsey is in anyways
I need to like look at more interviews
I kind of forget but like from what I've seen I'm like
it's just
kind of dorky
Um, I always take note at what people laugh their ass off at. Like when people laugh their ass off
at something, like they think it's like a, it's like the funniest joke ever. And you're just
completely blank, like stare, like that wasn't funny at all. And I feel like that's got like,
like guy to guy humor to like guys, like this type of shit, like Corey would be like, so-and-so
sent me this it's so funny and I'll watch it I'm like no reaction like that wasn't funny but yet
Corey is the funniest person I know but like the things he thinks are funny are not funny to me
it's just how guys are it's like they're stupid boy not brain pea brain immature boy brain
all right oh so he was born in 1989 too wait when's Taylor Swift's birthday so he's October wait
He just had his birthday, October 5th, 1989, Taylor Swift birthday.
December 13th. Oh, so that's why she, so she likes 13.
I wonder if that's why I like the number seven. It's cause I'm seven, seven. So that probably,
that makes sense um yeah cool we did an entire episode talking about Taylor Swift
