and we're back again not with that intro i'm doing my radio voice i decided to commandeer the
intro i can't deal with that you did that in bed the other day and i almost broke up with you hi
guys we are back information with the skinny, him and her podcast, we've got Michael, Jordan, and me, Lauren here.
Boone is on Michael's lap, Pixie's under Michael's foot, and we've got a lot of interesting topics to discuss today.
But first, let's talk about our weekend.
Well, we did a whole lot of nothing, so I don't know how interesting that's going to be lauren took me to become a
human pin cushion you love it you love it yeah i go and i get acupuncture now from a guy named
taylor ironically and um yeah i don't know how i feel about it okay he loves it and he will think
it's his idea in two weeks after his next appointment he
will go out to dinner with friends and tell them all about his new discovery called acupuncture
that he discovered and why that person should try it because he discovered it and it's his discovery
and by the way did you hear about his discovery i don't think i get the same like reaction that
you and jordan get i know you both do it jordan does it. Jordan goes to Taylor. I love it and by the way his name is Taylor Taylor
which is awesome. That's amazing. I never trust a person with two first names. Your new name is
Michael Michael. He has two first same names or Dick Dick when you're acting like an asshole.
Yeah Taylor Taylor has two names a first name and a last name Taylor Taylor and he's at Fix and Hillcrest and he is
literally amazing he gives me acupuncture and it's the most relaxing thing and I'm deathly afraid of
needles like to the point where I faint so it's really weird that I can even do it I recommended
it to Jordan thoughts what do you think Fix is like the greatest thing you ever recommended to
me I must say I might just only be your friend because you recommended that to me.
I have now done cryotherapy.
Not too big of a fan.
Let's talk about cryotherapy for a minute.
Let's do a little detour.
I got tricked into going.
I thought we were going for like a coffee or something.
See, what you should do, girls, is you should manipulate your boyfriend into going somewhere.
So here's how you do it.
You say that you have an appointment, but you say it last minute, like right before the appointment is,
and you have to go to this appointment and you need them to drive you right away.
So they drive you and then you manipulate them into coming into the place with you. This is
cryotherapy. And then you put them on the spot in front of the owner and say that they should try it
and they should be open to new ideas. Meanwhile meanwhile while the owner's selling them on it you
snapchat the whole thing and then you make them get into a freezing cold cryotherapy tank and you
watch their dick shrivel off basically there was no there was no watching of dick shrivels
i basically got put into a position where if i didn't do it i was just gonna look like the
biggest bitch in the world so i was like fine you know what you know what? I'll do it. I'll get in the, I'll get in the cryotherapy. So I'm in there and
they put me in these big shoes that are like five times over the size. They get me in a robe that
somebody had left behind somewhere. And I'm in there, I'm in this booth and it's fucking freezing.
Taylor, you would hate, Taylor would die. Taylor would just be dead. He can't even go below 72.
If you went in this cryo, how cold is it good?
I think it gets to 42 degrees for three minutes, and you're naked, and your nipples literally freeze off, but it's amazing because when you get out, you get, like, these endorphins,
like, kind of after you, like, had an orgasm, you get, like, endorphins through your whole
body, and it's amazing.
I mean, I don't want to, like, deter anybody, but I didn't have an orgasm, okay?
I'm not saying you have an orgasm. Well, I don't. I didn anybody, but I didn't have an orgasm. I'm not saying you have an orgasm.
Well, I didn't feel like I was having an orgasm.
Your penis is too shriveled up for you to be having anything.
I was inspecting it.
I had my opera glasses out.
I felt like a woman when I got out.
I was freezing.
I feel like the blood all pooled in my body.
I mean, I'm not saying anything bad about it.
I'm just saying I'm not in a huge rush to run back into the old cryo chamber.
So to continue the wellness theme, we brought it to acupuncture and cupping.
And he's done it before, and he's going to lie to you guys and say he doesn't like it.
No, I like the feeling after.
You know, this time I got it done in my hand.
I've had problems in my hand for a long time, especially in my knuckles.
And it was intense on the hand. I don't know. The back for a long time, especially in my knuckles. Um, and it was
intense on the hand. I don't know. Like the back is no problem. The neck is no problem, but the
hand is intense. It was aching for a solid 15 hours. Yeah. But you fall asleep like a baby in
our bed, like literally curled up like a baby because it literally puts you to sleep. And it
was great because I wanted to watch Real Housewives and I didn't have to hear you complain about it.
And you slept through the night, no waking up, and you love it.
Yeah.
No, I don't know if I love it.
I like, I'm open to it.
I like it.
I would do it again, but I'm not, like, once again, people,
I think everything is moderation.
Everyone that gets so obsessed with something, just slow it down.
You know, try this, try that.
Would I do cryotherapy again?
I don't think so.
Would I do acupuncture? Probably. Cupping? Maybe. You'd get cupped again. down you know try this try that would i do cryotherapy again i don't think so um would i do
acupuncture probably cupping maybe you'd get cupped again yeah maybe i like the slide cupping
i like the slide cupping too yeah it's like explain what that is it's basically like well
cupping is where they put the cup on you and it just suctions in one place this they like put the
suction cup on you and drag it around it's like a reverse massage taylor taylor told me that he won't do that on guys because they're such pussies so he just does it
on did you cry no i was like whatever taylor taylor let's get going no you weren't um let's
talk about the time you did cupping before a beautiful skin shoot oh that was funny i don't
want to get into that's a story no you can't you have to be like i won't get into the brand but
anyways we show up and lauren had had to do something for beautiful skin.
And the whole campaign was about beautiful skin, beautiful, beautiful, clear skin.
And she showed up with her whole back and cupping marks.
Okay, can I defend myself here?
First of all, cupping marks usually take two weeks to disappear.
And I literally forgot that I had cupping marks on me because I'm not like one of those
people that like stands in the mirror every day and inspects myself naked like I've never seen you do that but I guess you do
do that because you would have noticed you had cupping marks on you I I'm not one of those people
that like stares at myself in the mirror and says oh like look what's over here and I don't have
time to do that so I showed up at the shoot and I forgot that I had cupping marks on my back. But don't worry, we were reminded very quickly
by about 75 people. And the makeup team was rushed to the shoot. So yeah, that was our
weekend. A lot of cupping, a lot of acupuncture, a lot of relaxation, and then we got a lot
of work done yesterday and worked out. So it was pretty mellow, uncoachella um yeah so let's get into the show we have four
questions today and um jordan go for it okay savon vardy asks i have been experiencing some rude
comments due to the or to the point where it is borderline harassment. I would love to know how you guys handle situations like this. Lauren? I have had so many rude comments and so many rude things said to me
and at this point I have to say I'm unaffected by it. It maybe affected me five years ago when
I first started and now it doesn't even faze me. yes and I think it's one of those things where
you have to just kind of grow with it like just let time pass and you start to just develop a
thicker skin that's so cliche but the more it happens to you the more kind of unaffected you
get um I think that if you are getting comments and they are bothering you, you should focus your
energy towards something else. And you're really about energy, so don't you think? I completely
agree with what you're saying. I think it's unfortunate that people are so intense like that,
that they want to say something negative. What I would say is that you just need to remember that
whatever's being said is not about you, it's about the person saying it. And so I have a completely different approach than most people to something like this. I actually feel
bad or not bad, but I feel sorry for the person that is saying the negative things because I feel
like there's something wrong or something going on with them. I mean, for me, I actually have a
different approach than most people. I feel like if someone's talking about me, I get pumped on that.
I know that sounds crazy. It's like, like oh yeah like you could be saying the worst
shit about me ever but i would prefer that as opposed to people not talking about me and not
making me feel like i'm relevant like i'm just so bored with it if the call if somebody's talking
about you i had a buddy a long time ago i said if they're hating on you you're doing something
right i mean that's very jay-z of you it's true. But you're right. You're right. I just think
that it's, who has time? Like who has time? I mean, do you know what I mean? Who has time to
go on the internet, write a negative comment? It takes so much energy to do that. For me, it's like,
and I just delete it. Yeah. So what's the, what's the point? And if people think that, that they're,
that they're getting to you after five years or 10 years or three years of doing something, it's just,
it's going to the trash like the other ones. It's just, it's negative. If it's something though,
that's valid, that I can address, I will address it. For instance, if it's a longtime reader and
they're like, I didn't like this post you did. And here's why. And here's what I think you should have done. I will absolutely address it. I'm fine with that. I'm
open to, um, constructive criticism. What I'm not open to is negative bullshit. Yeah. Um, my whole
thing, I don't let things like this bother me. It was funny because Lauren was looking at me
strange a few mornings ago and she was like, you know, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I thought it was something I did.
And she says, you know, I've been nervous to tell you
because these comments came in.
And I said, like, I think she thought I was going to be really upset about it.
And I was fired up.
I was like, yes.
I was like, I made it.
Like, people are talking about me.
Like, I'm out there.
Like, people are saying things.
Yeah, Michael has been in the background, like the Wizard of Oz, for the last four years. And now he's coming out and putting himself out there. Like people are saying things like, yeah, Michael's Michael's put him up, like have, have been in the background, like the wizard of Oz for the last four years. And now
he's coming out and putting himself out there. And with that is going to come negative comments.
I mean, it's just the nature of the beast and with social media nowadays, people are worried
about putting themselves out there because they're worried about the negative repercussions,
but the positivity that you get outweighs that negativity so much
that it's entirely worth it yeah i mean i get sometimes people will comment mean things to
snapchat to me and i just i really like it doesn't bother me at all and i know people say that that
shit doesn't bother them but really like i don't think there's anything in the world that anyone
can say to me that would bother me like there's just not like you could
i just don't i'm very confident person like and i think that that to answer your question what
you channel that confidence is you need to channel that confidence you need to channel that like
really it's not about you or what you're doing it's about them if somebody has the time or the
energy to take out of their day and write a mean comment to you you got to really be thinking like
who's sitting on the other side of that comment and what's going so wrong in their life that they need to take a time out of
their day to write mean shit. On that note, since we're kind of on the subject, not only do I get
some negative comments on Snapchat, I get tons of positive, but I also get a lot of dick pics. As
you guys know, I talk about it a lot. Lately, I've been getting a lot of dick pics with a piercing.
Ew!
Yeah, they send me their dick pierced,
and that's kind of another negative thing that I just block. So when I get anything that I don't like, I just block it.
You know, I've gotten some dick pics, too.
No, you haven't.
I really have.
Have you gotten some pierced ones?
This was like a full barb-off.
I haven't gotten any pierced ones.
This was like a belly button ring.
You haven't made it, so you got the pierced ones. This was like a belly button ring. You haven't made it
until you got the pierced ones.
I guess I haven't made it.
It's called the Prince Charles.
It's called the Prince Charles.
The Prince Charles.
Is it really called the Prince Charles?
I'm not sure.
Taylor would know.
Out.
Taylor, do you have a Prince Charles?
No, I just,
I'm pretty sure.
I'm checking.
Okay, thanks for Googling that.
You're on it.
But anyways, yeah,
I have a guy that loves to send me
his cock pierced,
and it's really disgusting,
but it's really funny.
Well, right when you think you made it, you realize you haven't.
So, yeah, along with negative comments, you're going to get gross pictures.
So it comes with the, oh, thank you, Taylor, for that visual.
We'll put it on Instagram.
Oh, dude, that is pretty gnarly.
I'm literally hiding my eyes.
Okay, next question.
Moving on.
Lori Dex asks, what are your thoughts on man grooming?
My boyfriend has a pretty interesting take on it.
Help!
With an exclamation point.
Two exclamation points.
So we're just continuing the penis theme.
It was a perfect segue.
Yeah, that's a great segue.
Taylor really segued it with that visual.
Man grooming.
Honey, do you want to go first since you're the man that's doing the grooming?
No, listen. I don't groom too much. I just don't like a mess down there. Man grooming. Honey, do you want to go first since you're the man that's doing the grooming?
No, listen.
I don't groom too much.
I just don't like a mess down there.
I don't need to come out looking like a 1972 Afro. I want to have a clean landscape.
Jordan, cover your ears.
I'm literally scared.
I definitely don't want to go the 12-year-old boy route,
but I'd like it a little bit clean down there just so that I can get around.
Michael Bostic, always providing value and content.
Yes.
Man grooming.
Okay, first of all, like, don't go crazy.
No one wants, like, a completely shaven canvas with, like, a huge cucumber popping out.
That's way too gnarly.
Just go.
Or worse, a small cucumber popping out that's way too gnarly just go or worse a small cucumber or baby
carrot taylor why are you giggling in the corner oh taylor's girl makes him go completely bald no
he doesn't yes he goes he's like guys the conversation has shifted this is very um we're
going down a taboo route so taylor you're you're a bald eagle yes i am unfortunately
unfortunately more or less um so yeah i guess taylor can provide some insight on that i can't
i don't like a bald eagle no offense tay it's like going to get a haircut every week it just
it gets time consuming yeah that sounds like it would get time consuming just like i don't have
time to look at myself naked in the mirror every day.
I don't know how you can, like, groom down there every day.
That's a lot of dedication.
I go in with the clippers.
Just clean it up.
Yeah, we know you go in with the clippers.
It's left over in the toilet for me to look at.
Flush that.
Jordan, what's your opinion?
I don't have an opinion.
I am just over here, awkward.
My palms are sweating because of this conversation. Should we talk to your mom?
Yeah. This, awkward. My palms are sweating because of this conversation.
Yeah, this is awkward.
There's nothing like talking about shaving down there. Mommy, if you're listening, thank you for the clippers for Christmas.
There's nothing more awkward than talking about this subject
next to your brother and sister-in-law.
Great.
We love to keep it awkward here at the speaking office.
So what's your opinion, Lloyd?
My opinion is not too much, not too little.
In between, let's keep it chic. We got stuff to do. We don't have time to bear it all every day. awkward here at the so what's your opinion my opinion is not too much not too little in between
let's keep it chic we got stuff to do we don't have time to bear it all every day sorry taylor
um and just don't go overboard in any arena for instance i'm going to compare this to eyebrows
really quickly and then we can move along from the penis subject so when i look at a guy that
has overly plucked eyebrows i can't like I just can't with that um it looks
like he spent too much time in the mirror and too much time on himself and it to be honest it looks
a little narcissistic so the same as goes for like a penis area like let's not get too narcissistic
about our wieners sorry Taylor again um so Jordan's laughing so with with the guy's eyebrows
like just not too much not too little just maybe
a little between the unibrow and you're good let's keep the theme going lucky for you I got some real
bushy caterpillars no you don't we learned how to brush up and I waxed in between your eyebrows
all right moving on next question okay thank god next question Jessica S asks I'm about to graduate college.
I don't have a job, and I don't know what the hell I want to do.
I feel like a loser.
Do you have any tips for me?
Aw.
Well, boo-hoo, Jessica.
You and every other college kid.
I know that's an aggressive answer.
You guys were probably not looking for that one.
But let me just be honest.
Like, that's what everyone that's getting out of college or getting out of school has to deal with. You felt like that?
Yeah, I felt like that.
Everyone has to deal with it.
How did you feel? Tell the audience that that was real boohoo for you. Like tell
them how you were. Okay. So I, when I was in school and everything I studied in school was
in the real estate market and it was perfect timing in 2008 when everything in the real estate
market was absolutely crashing and going into the fucking shit pit. So, um, yeah, I was definitely
freaked out. I got out of school and and I and I pursued some stuff in real
estate and got my ass kicked and then guess what I had no clue what I was going to do and I was
making no money and I was living at home at my parents house again after being an independent
man or so-called independent man for the last four years in school and so yeah I think like
this is a normal thing like you're going to get out of school you're probably you're going to
struggle a little bit like you're not supposed to get out of school and make thousands and thousands of dollars
and millions and millions of dollars right out the way.
You're going to have to put in some time and some work.
And yeah, you're going to have to stumble around for a little while.
Like, that's just how it is.
I mean, this is not a unique situation.
Every single person in the entire world gets out of college and feels incredibly undefined.
That's okay. In fact,
it's actually kind of good for your soul to feel undefined for a little because then it gives you
a clear direction, I think. I was actually in school and I felt undefined. School was never
it for me. I didn't get it. I didn't jive with it. So when I got out of school, I still felt
undefined and it was an
awful feeling. So I can totally relate to what you're going through. I would just say that,
again, create like a place, like a journal or a poster board or whatever it is, where you can
just start jotting down ideas that define you. And whether that's health or wellness or, you know,
doing someone's hair or just anything. Just start writing things
down that you love that do define you that don't have to do with just school. I think it's really
fleeting to put such a pressure on going to school and thinking that that's going to set the tone for
your entire life. And depending on that, it's like putting all your eggs in the college basket.
Don't do that. There's a lot of ways you can make money that have actually nothing to do with college.
And also don't just let work and college define you.
There's other things that you can be defined by.
No, and let me just say this.
You're talking or listening to two people that have been in the exact same situation
and the circumstances have changed a little bit since then.
So I don't want you to take my oh, boo-hoo answer
and it's like, wow, this guy's being mean and he doesn't understand.
We've both been there.
We've both had no clue what we were going to do.
We've had no idea.
I was cocktailing.
You were working with your uncle.
I was working on a construction site making no money.
I had no idea what I wanted to do for a business.
It's part of it.
It's part of the growth.
And I think that people just need's it's part of it it's part of it and i think that that it that
people just need to live that part of it and it's don't put so much pressure on yourself either
you're 21 go have fun else i would say is you don't need to like just because you're in school
doesn't mean you can't be working towards a career or career or even working like there's a lot of
students i see that because they're in school they they say, well, school is my job.
There's so many hours in the day.
You can go get a part-time job.
You can go do some internships.
You can go interview.
What I would suggest if you're in college and you're confused about what you want to do is go and find five to ten CEOs or CFOs of companies that you admire and set up a time where you can interview them and just and just
email as many as you can people you admire and i in all sorts of different fields and after you've
done that process and after you've met with those different people in those different fields
you probably have a better idea of the direction you want to go but be proactive about it i have
to be honest i agree with everything you're saying and i'm just going to take it a little
bit further and people might not want to hear this answer. I think the whole I'm in school so I can't get a job
is so boring. I think that you should absolutely be doing things to propel yourself in other areas
other than just school while you're in school. I think you should be interning or getting out
there and contacting companies or starting to plan what
your life is. I see so many 18-year-olds right now on the internet doing YouTube channels and
fucking killing it. I mean, just because you're a certain age doesn't mean you have to be grouped
into that box of doing the college thing and just, you know, being in a sorority and partying.
To be honest, I was in a sorority for 10 minutes. I didn't like
being bossed around and I didn't understand the point of paying $800 a semester to be in a sorority.
That's me. That's what worked for me is to not be in a sorority. You might be different. I'm
telling you what worked for me. So instead of being in a sorority, I focused on building my
blog. And as I've said before, it took a year to build that.
So I channeled my energy in a different way.
I think that just because you're in school, you shouldn't just use that as, oh, I can't do anything because I'm in school.
Explore what you love.
I don't care if it's even taking yoga classes or getting a teacher training license for a peer bar or, you know, like apprenticing under someone that cuts hair
because you're interested in hair, whatever it is, don't let college be an excuse for you not to do
something that is working towards your dreams. Yeah. And I think to put to feed into that,
it's kind of like going to high school and then getting out and being like, oh shit, what do I do
now? Right. But you're not expected to do anything right out of high school. You're expected to go to college. So the reason people get scared
out of college is because they go to college, they do their classes, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then all of a sudden, like Lauren said, you get out of school and you're like, oh wait,
there's nothing else set up for me. It's not, this is, there's like no, there's not another
move. And so you have to kind of go figure it out. So while you're in college, like Lauren said,
there's no reason why you can't be interning or working a little or figuring out something.
And how boring is the expectations?
Yeah, but if you're out of school, then...
Even if you're like in high school, I don't understand why that's an excuse to just be in high school.
In fact, if everyone's doing something and everyone's just focusing on high school, why not do something different?
I'm all about if everyone's going right, let's go left.
So if everyone's just focused on school and college, how can you do something that's different?
You want to find that white space, right?
So this is like a more deeper question.
And honestly, we gave an interview today, me and Lauren, and we were asked, or Lauren and I,
and we were asked a question like they say, what are your three tips?
And my three tips are really simple. It's patience, consistency, and authenticity. When I say
patience, I mean, have the patience to wait for something to come. It's going to happen. Life's a
long time. Consistently, meaning consistently work on something towards forward progression
every single day. It doesn't need to be a huge thing. You just need to constantly be moving forward.
And authenticity means doing something that's authentic to yourself.
And if you do those three things and you have enough patience, you'll be fine.
And just because you're in high school or college or elementary school or whatever the fuck you're in,
doesn't mean you can't be working towards something that's bigger than what you're expected to do.
I think everyone at this table has changed what they're doing like three or four times. Jordan, even Jordan and Taylor.
For sure. No, Taylor's kept it bare the entire time. Yeah, I think that. And I'll probably change
it again, right? No, Jordan, speak on that. You've changed it up. You've changed it here and there.
Yeah, I think that the biggest thing is that you're always thinking about what you want
and what you're passionate about and what you want to do with your life,
and you're always working on yourself professionally and personally.
So if you don't know what you want to do, figure it out.
I have a hard time with these questions because I really just don't feel sorry for anybody that hasn't put in the time.
Well, maybe she has put in the time.
No, it's impossible for you to have put in the time if you're getting out of college.
There's just no way.
I haven't even put in the time yet.
It's been 11 years for me to work, and I'm not there yet.
When I say putting in the time, I mean really putting in the time and not expecting to be a multimillionaire or an overnight success straight out of college. Really like it's just you got to put in the time guys. That's it.
All right. Next question. Okay. Lexi B asks, what do you do after a breakup? I'm low key
obsessed with my ex. What do you do to everyone else is going right remember you go left so in my opinion and
Michael correct me if I'm wrong a lot of girls get a little cuckoo after a breakup when they're
invested in a guy and he suddenly decides to clip it.
Would you say?
Yeah, but I would not just say girls.
I think guys do the same thing.
Maybe girls.
Oh, yeah, guys too.
Sorry, excuse me, guys too.
Maybe girls sometimes can do things on the crazier side.
I know I haven't had the smoothest of experiences in the past,
but my advice would be to touch on Lauren's is to disappear.
Disappear like a ghost in the wind.
Get the hell out of there.
Make him or her wonder what the fuck happened and where this person went.
Here's what you don't do.
You don't pretend like you left your sweater at his house when you didn't just to see him.
I've heard that one so many times. You, if you share a dog, you don't try to dress up and take 600 hours on your
makeup and drop the dog like you casually just rolled out of bed. You don't stalk him at the
movies when he's on a date with his new girlfriend and you certainly do not break into his email.
Those are a couple of the ones I've heard in my opinion you go radio fucking silent
you go left when everyone's going right and you do your own thing and focus on your own trajectory
and in my opinion males are attracted to that yes or no michael boston yeah and in my past
experiences whenever i've had my uh dogs picked up by someone else or my internet broken into
or my tires slashed or have you really
had almost been hit by a car or no that was me when you were rude had someone show up at a date
or any of the number of things i always thought to myself hmm wouldn't it be nice if this just
didn't happen well i've never been psycho do you no you haven't but we've never broken up
so um that never had an opportunity i bet you'd be pretty fucking psycho if we broke up no i really wouldn't i've moved to new york and be like later no i know
because i'm moving to new york no no i'm you literally i claimed that city if we break up i
go to new york you go somewhere else i'm really sorry that you think that but i've literally told
you a hundred times that i'm moving to new york you guys heard it here i got dibs on new york
i'll go to paris with credit card. That's probably okay.
No, but really.
I think that you guys should just make sure that you are not in any way giving off a desperate smell.
And when I mean a desperate smell, I mean nothing that makes it seem like you're sitting around pining for the guy.
Go off.
Do your own thing.
Focus on your job. Focus on your friends. makes it seem like you're sitting around pining for the guy, go off, do your own thing, focus on
your job, focus on your friends, focus on working out and getting the best ass you can ever get.
And, and if the guy doesn't come back, then he's not worth it. And to me, I don't want to be with
anyone that doesn't want to be with me. Like I've never wanted to be with someone that's not
like dying to be with me. Like what a waste of time. Um, so I just think,
I just think that you just should do your own thing and not fixate on the breakup. No. And I
would just play it this way. Um, imagine the roles reverse and you broke up with someone and you were
just turned off. You were done. You were finished. Like, And I'm just playing devil's advocate here. You're finished. And you break up with the person.
And they start to become completely ballistic psychopath, stalking you, following you around.
Stop describing my ex.
Begging for you to come back.
Just kidding.
You're going to be turned off.
So just imagine if the roles were reversed.
And please do not make the mistake of trying to convince them that they love you and
miss you if they can't figure that out on their own then they're never going to figure it out
and you're not going to convince them yeah i think that a huge part of attraction comes from a
challenge and comes from independence i think it's very attractive to men and women and i think the
second that you show that card of desperation it's like you're playing poker and you're showing your card.
Just keep on your own trajectory and don't worry about what they're doing
and you'd be surprised what happens.
And if nothing does happen, then they're not the one for you
and you say, next.
Yeah, and men and women, I've said it once and I'll say it again,
please do not act like hungry beavers because
what is up with you in that word? I just picture like a beaver with his teeth out, like chomping
through wood. And that's how I imagined somebody that's like really like, have you ever acted
like a hungry beaver? No, I will never do it. If me and you broke up, I would, you and I,
I would be out. Like you'd be like, people would be like, where the fuck did that guy go? He's gone.
Like he's gone. You never hear it. You would be dead. No, you'd be like, people would be like, where the fuck did that guy go? He's gone. Like, he's gone.
You'd never hear it.
You would be dead.
No.
And listen, guys, girls, if you need to get a cry out, especially men, men, men, please,
for Christ's sakes, if you need to get a cry out, and I have a lot of friends.
What's a cry out?
A cry.
I mean, like, if you need to, if you're down, you need to get a cry, listen, there's men.
Have you had a cry out?
No, listen, even if I did, this is my point.
Even if I did.
Okay.
Men, there's nothing wrong with having a cry.
You know?
As a matter of fact, your friends will understand that you're going to have a cry.
But for God's sakes, don't do it in front of us.
Okay?
Go lock yourself in the closet.
So when Taylor breaks up, he has to...
No, listen.
I'm going to be like, Taylor, I know Taylor's very upset.
We're all going to know.
We're going to expect that he's going to have a cry.
He's going to have snot coming out of his nose. He's going to buy going to have a cry. He's going to have snot coming out of his nose.
To buy himself in his car alone.
He's going to have snot coming out of his nose. He's going to be in the closet crying.
And you know what? Then I expect him to show up to work the next day, stone cold face,
work like nothing's going on.
So you're telling people not to have any emotions.
No, listen. I'm telling them to have their emotions. But men, and this is for men, not
so much for you women. I'm not going to miss it.
I wouldn't hit that.
There is nothing worse than talking to one of your guy friends when he's sniveling and crying
and snot is coming out of his nose about how he just broke up with a girl
when you know damn well in three or four months he's going to be with another girl.
Because guess what?
All the rest of us guys, we have to remember back to when you had snot and tears
crawling out of your nose. Is this like guy code? Yeah. So just guys, listen, if you're going to be
emotional, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm all for it. Just, just do it on your own time.
Guys, don't call Michael when you're having a cry out. And I'm talking like, listen, if you have
like a serious tragedy, but don't, don't call me because you and suzy broke up after three months like who cares you know who gives a shit all right all right well that is the questions right well that is

And for my guy friends who have cried and blown snot in my face over breakups,

Bye.
