Starting point is 00:00:00 Solving your problems with the famous person on the couch. Is there a buddy shook? Jake Shane. Hi, Pussies, and welcome back to Theripus and the final Therapus episode of 2024. I guess Therapus has only ever aired in 2024. So I guess this is, I guess that doesn't really make my first statement different at all. But it is the 50th episode. We did 50 sessions of therapists in 2024.
Starting point is 00:00:43 This year literally changed my life. I thought my life, after 2023, I thought my life would never get better. And I thought, like, I had hit my stride. And it was only down from there. And then this podcast and you pussies, like, really changed my entire life. You changed my year. You changed my perspective on work. You changed my perspective on comedy.
Starting point is 00:01:08 on literally everything. So I just, I owe it all to you guys. I love you guys so much. Thank you for watching every session, every week, being in the chat with me, all your feedback. I just everything. Thank you for the support. Thank you for everything. I started 2024, a fucking stoner.
Starting point is 00:01:28 And I'm ending on the longest break I've had from weed probably since I've become one, a stoner. What day am I on now? I'll tell you right now. Okay, so I am on 14 days on December 13th. That was day 14. 14 on December 13th. Hold on. 15, 16, 17, 18.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Oh my good. Today is my, well, I guess no one just said it. Today is my 20th day without weed. I am so much more alert. I am, I can, it's very, it's much easier for me to wake up in the morning. I'm remembering things. My workouts are easier. I'm happier.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I'm less anxious. I'm still anxious, but I'm far less anxious than I was. But the devil is tempting me. Because for those who don't know, my favorite strand of weed is this brand called candescence. It was like, it was just like I would call it like boozy weed. Like it like was packaged all nice and stuff. They had like different types of like weed packaging or weed like they would have a strand called create. So I would smoke that every time I wanted to like be creative.
Starting point is 00:02:35 a strand called calm, a strand called cruise, which I would smoke whenever I was hung over. It was just, it was my favorite brand of weed and they went out of business. And they just recently went back into business. And like the face time I got from my friend, the camera was flipped on it. My jaw, you guys, hit the fucking floor. Like I, I'm really trying to hold out for like at least the rest of the month. I'm really, really trying.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I miss it so much. much though, but like I really don't miss how like shitty I felt sometimes. I just felt very like lazy and I don't know. But I, I miss it. As Taylor Swift says, you don't.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Oh, wait. Come on. I can do it with a broken heart. I can do it with a broken heart. Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it. Like she does say I can do it with a broken heart, but that has nothing.
Starting point is 00:03:35 nothing to do with my weed journey. But I appreciate the effort, No one. That was really sweet. Thank you. God, what happened this year? See, that's what I'm saying. Had I not smoked as much as I did, I'd remember more. I released Puss and Poems.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I finished season one of Therapus. I finished my first nationwide tour. Wow, I did a lot of shit this year. I don't really have any other updates for you guys. I'm watching this show on Netflix called can you fact check me? It's called La Palma or Las Palmas. It's the number...
Starting point is 00:04:11 La Palma. So I was right the first time. Cool. It's La Palma. And like what I like about La Palma, it's in like, is that it's a Norwegian show, but it's in like a bunch of different languages. It's in Norwegian. It's in Spanish.
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's in English. Like, it's dope. Like I love shows like that. There was this show called 1899, which is by the creators of Dark, which if you know, you fucking know is my favorite show of all time. And I hated that. I hated that. It also reminds, which is similar to the show 1899,
Starting point is 00:04:43 which if you know, is by the producers and creators of Dark, which is my favorite show of all time. And 1899 also had like multiple languages in the same show, which was super cool. So we just keep both of those in. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Cool. I thought it would be lovely to end 24 on our first best friend episode of the season. But Jules is back. My best friend, my girl. We had so much fun shooting this episode. We laughed so hard. We decided we'd like bring in our list of our like favorite moments of 2024.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So that's what we did. And I think you guys were really going to like it. We obviously talked a lot about Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Wicked, all of it. Yeah. So happy Junday. Happy final Junday of 2024. And enjoy the episode. I'll see you guys in 2025.
Starting point is 00:05:41 you pussies. Hi, Pussies. Welcome back to Theraput and happy, happy Junday and happy end of 2024. Today we have one of the most special guests. You know her. You love her. I love her. But Jules.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Hey, it's been a while. I was just talking about this with Nolan, but it's almost. been a year since our first episode came out. I know. When did we, do we have the date of when we filmed that first episode? January 4th, right? No, we fit. We fit, that's when it came out, but we filmed it.
Starting point is 00:06:22 December 5th, 2020. Okay, we're not that far off. We're not that far off. It's the 11th. It is the 11th. So it's really been a year since you started all this, Jake. I feel like my life has changed. Totally.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Right? I mean, I would hope so. Like, I think so. Right? Yeah. You know, Jake started introducing himself when people, when people like, say like, oh, like, what do you do? And Jake, Jake will be like, oh, I'm a podcaster.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's really sweet. Oh. I've noticed it. Yeah, I have done that recently. Well, you are. You're a P. I am. I am.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah. Well, the reason, well, we wanted to do something different today. For the year end, we wanted to do our year end list. And so it's not very organized, but we are just doing like. Our favorites of the year. But as I was thinking of mine, I kept thinking to myself, like, we're going to have the same for all of them. We can kind of go as we go. We can think of more and like off the top of our head.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Nolan, will you, what? Oh, I'm just. Yeah, like, why are you guys talking about it? I just got excited because I have a favorites of 2024 list. Oh. Oh, Nolan, that's awesome. Are you guys talking about like movies and music and stuff? Everything, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Out of curiosity, what else do you think we would be talking about? Out of curiosity. What's the best laugh we've had together this year? We've had some good ones. Can I be honest this year has been a little dark. Yeah. I had like some twists and turns this year. Wait, I don't.
Starting point is 00:07:44 It went up for a bit. It was super low for a bit. Right. It also feel like it went really fast. Very fast. How are you not fucking freezing in shorts right now? I don't know. The other day.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That house was so cold. And Peyton was like, Jesus Christ. Like, Brett and Jake may as well just move to fucking Ant Ardica if they want to be that cold all the time. He said, I'm uncomfortable. It's. We do. We want to be cold. Speaking of pain, my stomach hurt so bad this morning. It set my day off to a horrible start. I woke up with a serious stomach problem. Really? Yeah, like, I was tossing and turning in my sleep. I thought it was a dream. And I woke up and my stomach was like in nuts. I've had the worst dreams lately. Really? Like gnarly. Have you had bad dreams lately? Ew, my nails are disgusting. And I got prescribed this other sleep medication called Trosidone. Yeah, I stopped taking that one really quickly. Why? It like made me. Do you have some on you?
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, I have in my bathroom. Okay, well, what's up with it? Why did you start taking it? Like, first of all, I looked it up after I had my bad experience. And, like, people were, like, sleep paralysis 101. What? Like, everyone gets sleep paralysis from it and, like, really weird dreams. I woke up with a headache that could have, like...
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh, my God, is this what you took the other night? Yes. My head, I took it because I was having a bad night. I was like, God help me. I got to go to bed. I actually was wondering how you were going to go to bed. Yeah. I was in bad.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I was in bad. I was like, hmm. But then, like, I obviously was like, she'll figure it out. And you did. Yeah. I woke up with the work. They haven't, her and Peyton haven't left the couch in two days. I haven't left the house all week.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I, like, have probably gotten no more than 300 steps the entire week. Like, I have a permanent imprint on the couch this week. I would like to. My boss is out of town, so I've been working from home and, like, I have not gotten up once. I would like to go out for dinner tonight. Okay. I'm honestly down for that. But, like, where?
Starting point is 00:09:36 There are no more restaurant. in L.A. We should leave the house. We could see what kind of soup Toscona is offering today. It's never good. Okay. What do we figure out? I would like Toscana. Okay. Quick 180 there. But I maybe would want like a cheese plate. Sounds delicious. Right? Like some like Parmesan.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Should we go to Pache? I would love to go to Pache. Let's go to Pachey. And Peyton's never been. It's amazing. I would, I haven't been since I went with you. I will say I went that the other night and I felt very sick because I got salmon. Oh, see, I was going to say salmon sounds so good. No, it was amazing, but I also got pasta. Right. So maybe we go split.
Starting point is 00:10:14 No, no, no, I can't. You can't combine. I can't do that again. It made me feel very ill. No, I don't want potcha. What? Take your shoes off. No, I don't have socks on.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Jan Perthor got me socks that said you are perfect on them. Yep. Yep. Okay, so should we go for our end of year stuff? What do you want to do first? Okay, so why don't we start with favorite movie? Okay, I actually was going to say let's start with favorite movie. I know what you're going to say.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Mine is not going to be that. I hate to be basic. No, it's not basic. Like, I can't, I was wrapping my head around, like, trying to think of something else that, like, would just be, like, a little more different and, like, of the time. But my favorite movie was wicked. Like, I can't, I can't separate myself from the art. Yeah. I loved Wicked, too.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I would say my other favorite movie of the year. You know what? Let me go to my letterbox really quickly. Okay. Does it have to be released this year? Yeah. It could be like your favorite thing you saw my favorite movie I watched this year. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Okay. And yours was wicked. Mine was, I mean, yeah. Okay. Mine was. Okay. Hold on. This couch is way more comfy.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Right. So that's good for your guests because that blue couch was. That blue couch was despicable. Horrible. I mean, I tried to put on a front, but. No, it was so bad. Okay, I think my favorite movie I saw this year. Like, who got that blue couch, honestly?
Starting point is 00:11:37 It was me. Um, oh, you know what? Blink twice. Oh yeah, you liked that. My favorite movie was Blink Twice just because, like, for me, it's like, I love a twist. Right. I love a twist. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:52 The twist. You like, like, really disturbing stuff, too. Yeah, wait. Someone told me, though, that, like, I find, because I'm a Scorpio, I find comfort in the negativity. Okay. Yeah, you're pretty negative. I just didn't know. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Well, I just didn't know where Blink Twice was going. And I thought that was cool. I don't know what else. I only watched the end with you. It was super twisted. It was fucked up. And like I wouldn't want to watch that again, but it was my favorite movie that I saw this year.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Right. Right. And like Wicked was also incredible. I'll tell you why I loved Wicked so much. Mm-hmm. Not only has Ariana Grande like shaped my year in so many ways. She shaped my year as well. To watch her like take that role on.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Like for her to have the ability to be Ariana Grande and then she's on the screen and you're like, that's not Ariana Grande is like, so powerful. Yeah, she's very good at that. No, like, it was just, like, she committed herself to the role, like, so beautifully. Yeah, she really did. It's, like, imagine, you can't see Taylor Swift anywhere. Like, she could be in a role and be, like, that's not Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:12:50 You know what I mean? Like, Ariana Grande is the same, like, she's so recognizable as who she is in real life. But the fact that, like, by, like, 30 minutes into the movie, like, I wasn't saying, like, oh, that's Ariana Grande. I was saying, that's Glinda. Yeah. Like, that's pretty, like, crazy. No, she did a really good job with the role.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Yeah. She crushed it. Yeah. She's incredible. She doesn't get nominated. for an Oscar. Like, I'll be really excited. I think she will because she's currently getting nominated for the Golden Globes and the
Starting point is 00:13:11 Critics' Choice Awards. And usually, like, the Oscars kind of follow a similar pattern. Right. But I also... But will she be nominated as supporting? Yeah. Cynthia's Maine and she's supporting. They both deserve to win.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Oh, Cynthia was incredible. I mean... Shall we stop that? When me and Jake watched that movie together, like, when she was in the sky... Oh, maybe that was my favorite movie I saw this year. Like, we looked at each other like this. Like, because that movie, like, yeah, maybe that was... We were so gagged, like...
Starting point is 00:13:37 Also, like, for us to sit through something that long and be that gagged is insane. And, like, we also, like, had a long day. Like, we had a long day. Yeah. A long weekend. Yeah, Wicked was... It's the movie of the year. I feel like I'm only saying Bling twice to be different.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah. Favorite surprise song. Of the year. Mine was the mashup. I feel sick even saying this. I know you're going to say the last. The mashup of you're losing me and... Oh, never mind.
Starting point is 00:14:03 And how did it end? Okay. Are you fucking? kidding me. Yeah, that's awesome. That was ridiculous of her. Like, I felt like super upset. Like, those two bridges are like two of the most emotional bridges ever.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Like, I was sick. Okay, my favorite was daylight and this is me trying. Yeah, that's very you. Because she said, this is me trying to let it go. Ugh. But also my favorite surprise song of the year. And tell me if this wasn't this year. One, two, three, Evermore.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Wasn't this year. I mean, she did it again, but it didn't hit the same. Was it in 20, 23 that she did it? Yeah. Holy fuck. Like, holy fuck. That I have full body chills. The fact that I wasn't there for Evermore's a surprise song,
Starting point is 00:14:41 like the entire stadium was silent. The thing about me and Evermore is like I have rode for that album like. Forever since day one. And like no one else did. Like you showed me Marjorie. Like you were like, let's sit down and listen to Marjorie. Like really, let's listen to it in 2020. Evermore has always been my favorite Taylor Swift album upon release.
Starting point is 00:14:57 You know they say that Evermore is the Capricorn of all of her albums. That's interesting. Why do they say that? I don't know. That's just like what people say. Who? Who says that? I saw it somewhere.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Okay. I saw a TikTok that was like, here's every Taylor Swift album as a astrological sign and mine was Evermore. So just thought it was like relevant. No, that's relevant. Yours was obviously reputation. I love reputation.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But nothing beats Evermore in my mind. I just think the way she tells stories on Evermore are like really beautiful. And I also really relate to the song Cowboy Like Me. because sometimes like we all have moments where we feel like crooks in our own life. And like you always have that one person where like you'll meet and you're like, oh, you're just as much of a crook as I am. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Folklore to me felt like as a little less complex than Evermore. No, it's more straightforward. It's a little more straightforward. She's just saying it how it is. Which is beautiful in its own way. Which is so beautiful. Folklore is incredible. Evermore is like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Evermore I was able. It's the twisted sister. I was also able to make Evermore myself, like make it accustomed to my life a little more. I'm trying to think what my favorite time is. Because like Betty and the love triangle, that's about love. Right. So I can't really make that about I've never like been in love in that way. But like, champagne problems.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Like, okay, mental health. Like, goal. Like I can relate a lot of songs on Evermore to a lot of different things. And like Evermore just fuels a little more. I don't know what my. Oh, I love Evermore. Oh my God. I honestly want to listen to it all night tonight.
Starting point is 00:16:34 It's like my favorite album of hers. Yeah. I think my favorite off of Evermore is Evermore. You know what? Yeah. My favorite off of Evermore is Tis the damn season. Yeah. Which is crazy because upon...
Starting point is 00:16:46 You can't relate to that. I can't relate to that, but I just, I think she draws a really pretty picture. Yeah, I totally agree. I think she draws a really pretty picture. You can, like, smell it. You smell the town and the church and the car. And, like, you just like, I also, I did live in the suburbs for like six years of my life. So, like, I somewhat...
Starting point is 00:17:02 And like, I did. I don't. Six years? Yeah. And like I don't... I didn't think I knew that. And like it's like that feeling of like going home in high school and from high school from in college to like high school. It doesn't even need to like necessarily be about like there being someone else.
Starting point is 00:17:18 It's just like the feeling of like going back to all the old. Yeah. Agreed. I actually agree with you. And like her when she says like I won't ask you to stay if you won't ask me to wait. Like let's just like call it even. Same. I love her so much.
Starting point is 00:17:29 What's your Taylor lyric of the year? Okay. Funny. Funny. Funny you should ask. I have two. Okay. One I know you'll agree with me on.
Starting point is 00:17:36 The other I know you will disagree with me on. Okay. I'm going to start on the one that I know you'll agree with me on. Down bad. Okay. Did you really, the, who has a mind to think like this? You know what I mean? Like, did you really beam me up in a cloud of spark?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Beem me up in a cloud of sparkling dust just to do experiments on, told me I was the chosen one. Yeah. Like, the feeling that she's comparing, like, love to like extraterrestrial abduction. No, you know I feel the same way. It's insanity. Do I like relate to it all that much? No, but like I'm going to appreciate the art.
Starting point is 00:18:14 This lyric, every time this lyric came on, I screamed it. I'll tell you something about my good name. It's mine alone to disgrace. I don't cater to all those vipers dressed in empath's clothing. Yeah. Because I needed to hear that. Yes. I needed to hear that.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I needed to. That song is a work of art. Arguably, not arguably, that is my favorite song. She's off TTPD. That is my favorite song. Yeah. But Daddy I Love Him is my, it's one of the greatest songs she's ever released. It's so unapologetic.
Starting point is 00:18:44 She's never addressed. She's never broken the fourth wall. I think it's so powerful that she said that because I think a lot of the time, like a lot of these people are like, they're putting her partner down, but they don't realize that they are putting her down. By putting her. I'm like, it almost feels somewhat a little. like misogynistic for like it just feels like it's like why are you babying her like she can
Starting point is 00:19:10 make her own decisions like she wants to make her own decisions let her make her own decisions and i think her saying like i will tell you something about my name it is mine to disgrace not yours yes i can do whatever the fuck i want wow yeah i can do whatever the fuck i want because i am taylor swift yeah i will do and you are going to listen to me regardless because i put narcotics into all of my songs um okay okay Okay, what's next? Well, speaking of Taylor, what is your Taylor's song of the year? Um, I mean, I guess, like, by statistic, it would be so long London, but I don't claim that as my Taylor's song of the year.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Mine is, but Daddy, I love him. That is my favorite Taylor's Soff song of the year. I'm really trying to think what mine is. Like, that is the one I listen to the most. I will also say I love Fortnite. Yeah, Fortnite's good. It never, like, hit me the way it hit you, though. It's just the outro really does things to me.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Um, I don't know that mine's, like, necessarily, like, from T, T, It doesn't have to be. I listened to Maroon so much this year. Yeah, Midnights. Midnights already feels like a time capsule to me, which is sad. Midnights is my favorite Taylor's Life album, I think. Really? I think it's no skips.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. I really do. I don't know. It just, like, it's so special to me. It came out of really exciting time. Yeah. Well, my song of the year, I'll say. I'm not going to say we can't be friends.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Oh. Because that's yours. Okay. It's ours, but like, that's yours for right now, okay? I just like, that's my song of the year. Right. Because every once in a blue moon, there comes a song. And it always happens when I'm in a hotel room.
Starting point is 00:20:42 So the last time this happened to me was happier than ever when we were in Miami. So true. And I was in New York for Alice's birthday. We were in New York. And Eternal Sunshine came out. And I had gone on a date that night. I think we had gone out that night for Alice's birthday. And I went on a date.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I took shrooms. And I just went home and I was like crying or something. And I put on Eternal Sunshine. and I was like playing around with it. And then we can't be friends came on and I was like, hold on. Like I need everybody to listen to this song because I understand that like what just happened in here has been changed. Yeah. So like let me just pause for a second.
Starting point is 00:21:17 My album of the year is absolutely positively eternal sunshine. Yeah, me too. Like without a doubt. Me too. My song of the year is probably something from Eternal Sunshine. But for the sake of being a little different, honorable mention to Gracie Abrams. She like really shaped my year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:34 She really shaped my ear. You really listened to the fuck out of her. I was on my Gracie, my Gracie train this year. Like, specifically let it happen. It's like about a toxic relationship and she's like talking about how like, I don't know, it really moved me. Also, I was so shocked when this wasn't my number one song of 2024, messier by Tate McCray. That's like my favorite song of all time.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Of all time. Of all time. Like, I listen to it every day. Oh, seeing that live was awesome. Yeah. But the thing about seeing music in L.A. is like you're always, like, embarrassed to scream. Yeah, everyone's so judgmental.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's not fun. It's not. Well, your song of the year is, well, is it not imperfect for you? Yeah, it is. It is my song of the year. That's my favorite song off of Eternal Sunshine. I think it is. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Okay, when Ari goes on tour, the blood bath for tickets will, it will be, because like, she's not doing as many dates as Taylor does do it. So the blood bath. I want to be on stage. I want to be on stage sitting in her lap. I want to be held by her in a baby. I want to stroke her ponytail. I hope she brings that pony back.
Starting point is 00:22:44 She will. She does. She did it at the mat gala. Yeah, she did have her pony. She looked so good wearing Gloeva. I'm obsessed with her. Fun fact about us is that we actually saw Ariana Grande in person once. We were shopping for Halloween costumes.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Gagged. And she said something to us. Yeah, she said. I said, I said, I'm so fucking hungry. You said girl, same. Yeah. Yeah, she did. Oh my God, she did.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah. And I was like, she had her pony. She had her pony at her thigh highs. Yeah, that was like her real Ariana era. That was thank you next. Yeah. What was your show? My show of the year, Hacks.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Mm-hmm. Hax was my show of the year. So good. That show affected me the most, I would say. Yeah. And, like, changed my life. Yeah, you were really. In, like, ways.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Like, that show, like, change. For my show of the year, like, it has to change parts of my personality. And like, arguably, TV is as important, if not more important to you than music. Yeah. Like movies, not as much. TV is, like, very important to you. I become very entrenched in their world.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yes. I would say... I can't separate myself from things. Neither can I. I would say my show of the year last year was undeniably girls. Yes, thousand percent. Undeniable. There's no question.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Do we want to tell everyone once again why you started watching? Because of you. Well, I watched it when I was a kid, but Julia reminded me to rewatch it. But I hacks like... And that is the Hannah to My Marnie. Yes, unfortunately. But also fortunately. What was I going to say?
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah, Hax was my show of the year. If you haven't seen it, you must watch it. I just, I love it. I think it's really fucking funny. I don't know. I loved it. And I got to binge it because I hadn't seen it. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And so I got to watch all three seasons. Right. And the end of the third season was amazing. And then it also won best comedy at the Emmys. So like a show that I rooted for one and it like felt nice. So like that was my show of the year. Right. You felt very like attached to it.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Yeah. It felt personal. It felt personal. Yeah. What was your show of the year? I don't think it came out this year, but I watched it this year. Daisy Jones and the 6th. That was your show of the year.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Oh, my God, was I clinical for that show? You were. Did John show you that show? Uh-huh. Yeah. I've never cried like that in my life. What point did you cry? The last episode, I was in a puddle of tears.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I was hyperventilating, like, hyperventilating. I couldn't breathe, couldn't form words. What part where she passed? When she, it's like the tape and like the daughter's like filming all of them and that was like the whole thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. And like, you remember back to the beginning when they were like, for, however many years, like they've refused to talk about what happened until now. And then you realize it's like the...
Starting point is 00:25:07 You realize it's the what? It's the daughter, like, doing it as a project to, like, honor her mom. I have full body chills off of the heels on my face. Well, did you see that Suki brought Camilla on stage? Yes. Also, Stevie Nix talked about how much she loved the show and how she's, like, begging them to do a season two. What would happen in season two?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Maybe it's, like, the two of them, like, reconnecting. Forgot about that. on the door, right? Yes, yes. Also, just, like, overall, like, what a cast. Yeah, what a fucking cast. Riley was incredible. Yeah, Suki Waterhouse, obsessed.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Camilla, Maroon. Marone. Who looks like that? Yeah, she's dropped out of gorgeous. I've never seen someone that looks like that. She's dropped out gorgeous. Yeah, just everything about that show was really, like, it felt like super special to me. Also, the music.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Why was it so good? Yeah, honeycomb. That was the best song. And they refused to play it. Like, that was the best song. Yeah, like, just the story was really great. I don't, I'm not like the big, like I know like the Fleetwood Mac hits. I'm not like a fan.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Is that like loosely based off Fleetwood Mac or like pretty closely tied to it? I'd say somewhere in between. Yeah. Like closer than not. My meal of the year. Oh, let's do meal of the year. I love that. I think yours is probably going to be the same as mine.
Starting point is 00:26:21 One time we went to Matsuisa. Yeah. Was that this year? Yeah. And we nails an order down that changed the trajectory of our lives. And no one saved it. Did anyone save it? I have it.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Oh, okay. And you asked me every time and I send it to you. every time. That was the best meal of my life. I like want that. Tonight? Sounds so good. We're on an udon kick.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah, I love udon. Every time I, I don't mean to sound like, me, but like every time I travel internationally, like I wouldn't say
Starting point is 00:26:48 I have the world's greatest meals. Yeah, I think that's just because we're like annoying Americans and like we prefer things here. And like salt. Yeah. And like preserved. Everything's so much more unhealthy here.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Like that's why we like it. Yeah. Like everything's fresher there. Okay. Something we haven't spoken about, which just feels. disturbing and I'm going to say it as my honorable mention of the year Brat because what a fun time to be named Julia.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, that worked for you. What a fun time to have a basic name and feel special? Also, like, I remember Brat came out and it came out when I was in New York. Mm-hmm. So it just worked. No, like Brat is New York. Brat's not L.A., sorry. Brat's New York.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Brat's not L.A. No. No one has fun here. No one has fun here. It's not a fun city. Like the same. details of like Hollywood parties Like that doesn't happen anymore
Starting point is 00:27:35 Or we're not invited And it's probably the latter But at the same time Like those like don't I don't know It's not fun also we are just miserable people So we don't have fun period Ever?
Starting point is 00:27:48 Like everyone? We have fun in New York Yeah I have a blast in New York It's time to be bicostal I 100% agree I will say our most fun friend is Cassidy Yes
Starting point is 00:27:59 Because she is outrageous So like One weird. That's my video of the year. The video. She's scaring her in Indianapolis. And she screams in bed when you're holding to sit. Wait, my video of the year is when I'm in bed with her.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And she goes fruit punch. Fruit punch. She is just, oh my God. There's no one more funny. She's my everything. I miss her so much. Oh, my God. She's coming to Miami.
Starting point is 00:28:28 We're going to Miami for New Year's. Oh, yeah. That's going to be a disaster. Buckle up. Seriously. I would say Oh you know what By the time this comes out
Starting point is 00:28:37 We'll probably be there Yeah Do you have any resolutions Yeah I'd like to continue Not Smoken Yeah I feel like it's doing good things for you No one's shaking his head aggressively Why do you think so?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Wait what Your demeanor is a lot Calmer Oh really? Yeah I actually agree You've almost been less angry Well maybe I guess
Starting point is 00:29:02 I guess it's only, and people say, like, I'm, like, glowing more and, like, I look thinner. I think you look great. Yeah, like, I might as well just stick with it. I had a lot of fun on tour with you. I had so much fun on tour with you. I loved tour. Matt kept telling everyone, thank God for doing it. Yeah, because it would have been bad.
Starting point is 00:29:18 It would have been bad. What was your highlight of Brat Summer? Like, your favorite part? Weekend of Brat Summer, because I obviously have mine. Okay. My weekend that I was like, this is my Brat Summer. was when I went to Vegas and then flew to the Hamptons and then flew back. I was going to say our weekend in Vegas was so much fucking fun.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Like that was my. Also, I don't know why, but like I prefer driving to Vegas over flying every single time. I hate flying. I hate flying. Like I would rather spend the extra hours in a car than at an airport, right? Like it's what's more fun than a road trip? But then we went to this rest stop that was seriously like that could have been like a cruel and unusual punishment for me specifically. I've never been in such a disgusting place in my life. Like, I was scared to step foot.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Why did you hate that rest stop so much? The pictures of Peyton. Wait, I've got to find these. Hold on. Why did you hate that restop so much? Anyways, you didn't ask me what my resolutions were. Oh. And my resolution is to have better posture because I look like a fucking hunchback at all times. Oh, I almost just brought it back to myself again. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:25 No, that's fine. That's a good resolution. I guess mine is no weed. Yours is better posture. Can I show this? She looks so tan. I miss summer. Oh, you look so tan.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Did you get a spray tan? No, it was just summer. Oh, I miss summer. We need to go back. That was what, Vegas was awesome. Vegas was so much fun. Vegas was so fun. And then the Hamptons was fun.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I didn't go to there. But we should. Here's you and Peyton in Vegas. I see. Pink kept saying the chicken salad ruined her life. Talk about top ten. Talk about, oh, worst. Worst meal.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I would say that. Yeah, that was the worst meal. That was the worst meal I've ever had. Some shivers out my spine. In my entire life. The chicken looked like a marshmallow. Well, we were at this restaurant and we were like, we ordered a chicken salad and we thought it would be like a grilled chicken salad.
Starting point is 00:31:23 No. Like chicken salad came to our food. Worse. Worse. Worse. Worse. Sign up of a meal. is when you don't get to order, the food's just brought out.
Starting point is 00:31:33 So, like, you've no control over the situation. Yeah. Like, oh, we were at a sushi restaurant, like chicken salad. Like, we thought, oh, like, you know, like, an ice salad. Mm-hmm. Chicken salad that was as white as that envelope. It was so bad. It was so.
Starting point is 00:31:45 It was so. I feel sick. I feel sick. I feel sick. I feel so sick. It ruined my life. I feel so sick. Our friend group has, like, really, like, weird things with chicken.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And, like, that's- I don't, actually. That chicken solidified my worst nightmare. Yeah. And I ate it. Yeah. Because, like, one thing about me is I'll eat it. Like, the one thing about me is I will eat it. That food was so bad.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Okay, so that was one of my worst posts. I'm trying to think of, like, another really bad meal we had. I feel, like, so hungry that, like, my insides have, like, bubbles in it from the poppy. I think another really... Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I think... See, these are times where I really wish I was high.
Starting point is 00:32:19 But, like, I... That's not right that I'm so happy. I'm not high right now because I could, like, eat my own hand right now. I'm so hungry. I wish we could go to Chili's tonight. It sounds really good. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:32:33 I already know what my... These fucking cookies, we're about to have them. Oh, my God. I'm so fucking pumped for these. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Brett's mom makes these crazy cookies every year for Christmas. And they are the greatest thing in the entire world.
Starting point is 00:32:53 You can, Mandy, you have to try one. Oh, I would say another... Sorry, we're really jumping around. But I would say another New Year's resolution. I have is to be better at responding to text. I really lost that touch this year, and I used to be really good at it. I really lost it.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And you want to know why? It's because I became addicted to checking my social media. So I would miss text and miss calls, and my phone was always on Do Not To Sturb, and I think I need to take it off. You need to take your phone off, do not to start. It's like I'm not the president. You need, it's literally the, like, having to,
Starting point is 00:33:23 and also it's like offensive, like put my calls through. Right, because I do put some calls through. Also, like, I'm not pinned in Jake's phone. It's really weird. No, it's weird. Like, I honestly think about unpinning you all the time, like, just to, like, spit you, but it's like, I talk to you more than I talk to most. So, like, why would I not have you pinned?
Starting point is 00:33:40 I need to start pinning, my friends. No, you have all pins filled and not one of them is me. I know. I need to unpin and repend. Put my calls through. Do you know how annoying it is every time I have to call you to call you twice? I know, and then sometimes I'll be off. Do not just start, but they won't know that.
Starting point is 00:33:55 So they'll just call me twice anyway. And I'm like, damn, like, it's really like that. It's really like that. It's really like that. really like that. Take us off. Put us through. I know, but we talk so much. What else did we do this year? We became friends with Will.
Starting point is 00:34:08 That was the best thing that happened to me in 2020. Seriously. Will is the best thing that I think happened to me as well. We just got to play this in the camera. Like, I know everyone's already seen it. What, is it at him? I've watched it so many times. That's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:34:28 You can just do it from the, just put it in the mic and then just show it. thought it looked so cool. He literally looked like he was getting shocked with the electric thing. He is so funny to me. He's the funniest person ever like besides you. He really is. He's also like he like he has a really good heart. Also like we get the super angry at him for like having a lot of friends. But I think he's a projection because we have no friends. Well we just get angry because I always say a friend to all as a friend to none. We have to teach Jake that one time. Yeah and I learned It's true, Nolan. A friend to all is a friend to none.
Starting point is 00:35:11 You're, how old are you? You can't be loyal to everyone. You'll learn it one day. A friend to all is a goddamn friend to none. Like, Jake used to be friends with everyone. I mean, but say, like, a friend to all is a friend to none. Is there anything you're looking forward to in 2025? Um, no.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Nothing? Like, I don't know, what are you looking for? I'm really looking forward to Miami. I'm looking forward to my ski trip. Never been skiing before. Oh, yeah. I'm really, I'm excited to go back to New York. I would like to go skiing this year.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Should we do that? Well, it depends how much I enjoy it. Yeah. I'd love to do that. I feel like it'd be really fun. I'm sure, yeah. I feel like we should do like weekend getaway somewhere. I want to plan like a nice little vacation in summer.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I don't like look forward to things. I do. It's actually all I do. All I do is look forward to things. And if I don't have something to look forward to, like we're not having fun. Yeah My birthday is what's like I think my birthday is gonna be so fun
Starting point is 00:36:12 So fun You better have a good attitude Wait I am gonna have a great attitude Yeah I was like telling everyone I was doing dry January And then I was like oh my god I can't do dry January Dry January
Starting point is 00:36:20 Triggers me so much Seriously don't even bring it up in front of me That is my birth month And it's so offensive Why do you try to be dry in January Because it's the new year Yeah but that's when I was born Okay like it's so frustrating to me
Starting point is 00:36:34 You're just triggered Because in college They had rush over her birthday and her birthday sucked every year. Every year. But then it was really fun after we graduated. And then it was like just okay this past year. I didn't really do anything.
Starting point is 00:36:44 What did you do? We just like, it was chill birthday. We didn't really do anything. Your greatest birthday was post-grad first year. But this year it's my 25th on a Friday. Like God's setting me up. Kennedy was gone the second time around. Yeah, Ken's coming back.
Starting point is 00:36:56 The whole week. She's coming for a whole week. Kennedy leaving ruined our lives. Yeah, ruined. Like, you know how I keep saying like we don't really have that many friends? It's because we lost one. We lost one. Kennedy leaving like really ruined our lives.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Um, I'd like to be more, um, I'd have, I'd like to have a bigger presence in New York in 2025. Me too. Um, I feel my roots pulling me back that way. Um, not permanently, but more frequently. No, I, I, I really, I was talking about it on. Like, I'd like to even, like, have an apartment there. I'm, like, be back and forth. Yeah, I agree. Like, I don't want to leave here, but, like, I'd like to, like, be there more. Right. I miss New York a lot. I just, like, have fun in New York.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And, like, also. It's not fun. Like, everything closes and it's like... Also, Cassidy's there. She's too good. Um, what else? I'm trying to think of like fun memories the two of us had. She is like too fucking good.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Have you ever met Cass? Yeah, death, of course. She is the one at my, um, after party for my New York show that pulled me in a corner in her cat suit. Started telling me. What was she talking to me about? I didn't remember. And then she woke up and was like, yep.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Like she's just too Cassidy Cassidy is too good She's too good What was our fight Like we got in a bunch of fights this year Oh yeah What was our biggest fight What was your favorite fight
Starting point is 00:38:16 Like that we could like laugh about the most after Okay I'm thinking I really I have mine Okay tell yours Because like things are just leaving my mind right now What about the one where we were at Susi at the world
Starting point is 00:38:28 Oh talk about worst meals ever That place And remember you mean Peyton and someone else went um when do why did we get in a fight because i thought you were texting Peyton about something oh yeah you're you're crazy i know you're so crazy you know what i have another resolution for 2024 i need to stop ghosting men that i speak to it's weird like all you want is boyfriend i know but then i i think i have attachment or avoidant at i don't know what it is i'm avoidant but like it it like it like i really just stop i'm a huge avoidant i stop talking yeah and it's like that's that's that you were very
Starting point is 00:39:03 similar that way. I need someone that's going to enter my life and like force themselves in there. Right. Like you need someone that's going to pull you. Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean that rudely. No, but it's true. Hey, Jake, these two girls in one of my classes keep talking to, hey Jake, these two girls in one of my classes keep talking to each other about me and my friend in Spanish. But my friend knows Spanish. So she can tell roughly what they're saying. What should I do? Should we tell them that we can hear them or just ignore it? That would happen to us. I would ignore it. And like... I don't know which side we would be. I don't know if we would be the ones talking shit or getting...
Starting point is 00:39:42 Or overhearing the shit talking. But we definitely wouldn't be shit talking in Spanish. We don't know Spanish. No, I don't speak another language. Actually, neither do you. I don't. That's why I'm saying. Well, you did take French.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Yeah, for so long. Julia took French. For so long. I can speak a word. I took Spanish. Why does that happen? And I feel like it's common. Why are they failing us?
Starting point is 00:40:03 So if, if, um, they... I would confront, obviously. You would confront? Yeah, I would have the friend who's, like, vaguely speaking Spanish, like, butt into the conversation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, gagged.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Like, you gagged them, I think. That's how I would do it. If you were to do it, that's how I would do it. If not, continue to hear what they say. Yeah, because, like, if it's not, like, so horrible yet, like, wait until it gets there. Mm-hmm. And then, like, like, go for peak embarrassment. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like, peak making them uncomfortable with, like, oh, no, I know, like, you're shitting on me. Agreed. Agreed. I'm really upset that I've been ghosting people lately and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a new year. So should I text? Maybe, why don't you text some people back right now? Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Okay. I'm going to take this time to text people back that I haven't responded to. Right. Okay, I could help you if you need. Just let me know. I'm going to keep all this in. I'm all for you having a boyfriend. Spice.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I mean, wow would our lives be shoken up. I haven't had sex in so long. I haven't had sex in so fucking long. And I don't know what to do about it. Do you like think about it often? Girl, I think about it from the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed. So we should do something about it. Who the fuck am I going to find?
Starting point is 00:41:30 It needs to be someone that you don't mind like listening to. I love listening to people. Baby. Wait, sorry. Let's not head into the new year lying. Okay, like I. You don't like listening to other people. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:41:48 You are a narcissist. Yeah. Damn. Like, I don't know why we're like talking like, this is news to us. It's okay. Right. I don't love it. Yeah, you like to talk about yourself.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And I love gossip. Love. That's actually like what our friendship is built on. The foundation of our friendship is gossip. Speaking of which, my birthday's coming up, everyone. Reminder because if I don't get birthday texts, I'm going to be super upset. Birthday texts are my personal favorite part of my birthday. I know, and you know what?
Starting point is 00:42:21 They're out. They're out. Because if you don't know it's someone's birthday, you're not texting them. We're too old. And as much as I want to believe that everyone knows, it's my birthday. Also, you know what else is out? Birthday stories. Well, that's why people don't know it's your birthday anymore.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Yeah. Don't get any ideas. No, I know. Grid. Yeah, great. Me. I will grid you. Hi, I need help.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I have the worst luck with friendships. I don't know why I attract the most wild crazy people and then proceed to become best friends with them as they step all over me. You seem to have the best of friends and I'm jealous. Please, how can I stop this? Well, the first part is looking inward. I feel that so strongly. And, like, I know that it's not what you want to hear. But, like, if there's a pattern going on in your life.
Starting point is 00:43:03 It takes two to tango. Yes. I prescribe. God, I don't know. Maybe the, like, maybe the movie Mean Girls. and like fucking watch Katie Heron because like the girls around her suck But then like she also has shit to figure out
Starting point is 00:43:16 I don't watch that movie Oh our little secret Yeah Was it good? I mean but yes Okay Lindsay's just great Yeah I loved it I just love Lindsay Bowhan
Starting point is 00:43:26 She said I would say like Goal for 2025 dream guest on this podcast Is Lindsay Lohan And Ariana And Ariana Dream Lindsay Lohan on this podcast would Well first of all
Starting point is 00:43:37 I go to Lindsay Second of all like I just have so many questions for Lindsay. Like I have so many questions. Why do I just know you guys would be best friends? We would be. We would be. Lindsay, Lindsay is... Lindsay's our type of girl.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Do I not talk about Lindsay Lohan? Have I not always... All the time. She's my Roman Empire. We actually talk about Lindsay Lohan like so much. She's my Roman Empire. Like I speak about Lindsay Lohan and I have spoken about Lindsay Lohan. Forever. Forever.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Forever. Forever. I've rooted for Lindsay Lohan. Forever. Forever. I broke my vagina by going down in a hundred foot water slide and the person in front of me didn't move so at full speed her foot rammed into my vagina at full speed
Starting point is 00:44:17 with full force. That is. Seriously the best thing. That's the best tell me. That's the best tell me what's wrong ever. I have a question. Yeah. So when someone would kick me in the balls,
Starting point is 00:44:29 like it hurts, like it's the number one thing in the entire world that hurts. When someone kicks you in... I've never been kicked in the vagina. Okay, right. But like, does that hurt as equally as much or a little less? I know. So like if.
Starting point is 00:44:42 But I can imagine a 100 foot water slide and a foot going into my vagina would hurt. That definitely wouldn't feel pleasant. Oh, my God. My vagina because I went down a 100 foot water slide. Do you? That would like happen to Payton. That would happen to pay in. And she'd be like, wait, it's so fine.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I don't know what to prescribe for that. Like serious medical help. Yeah. attention. Like go to the hospital. I mean, I'm assuming you did because you found out you broke your vagina. You know what my favorite trend is right now on TikTok? Is the like a prayer trend where they tell. Yes. Oh my God. The olive oil story changed us as a society. Can I read you the one I heard today about I said it to, um, I sent it to Alex because it included Alex. Did you see this? Okay, can I read this to you guys? It was spring break 2020 right before the pandemic. I'm on an island called B. Meenie off. Sorry if I pronounced that. wrong. Bimony. Oh, Bimony? Yeah. Off the coast of Miami. I am drunk. I am free. Suddenly, a group of men motion to us, me and my friend, to join them on their golf cart. We fly across the island. It is magical.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I begin kissing who is ever next to me. I do not know this person, nor do I care. This is the life. This is the dream. I am unstoppable. Suddenly, we take a rather drastic turn. The golf cart flips over. Everyone manages to wiggle out. Where's Lela? My best friend asks. I am not there. I'm beneath the golf cart. Trap. They live. the golf cart off of me. I am not there. My collarbone is broken along with a list of other injuries. A pack of wild dogs approaches and pulls in my hair and tries to bite me. There is no hospital on the island.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Only a clinic. I am rushed there by a group who escapes the pack of dogs. A doctor walks in. He is maybe 20 years old. He is wearing Jordans. This is really good. He wraps a bed sheet around me and tells me to wait for the nurse. I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I am slipping in and out of consciousness. The room is full of people I know. The nurse enters. When she sees my eyes closing, she reaches over and twist my nipple to keep me from fainting. Everyone sees my... I am covered in blood and she continues twisting my nipple to keep me away. They have no medicine. I am given to...
Starting point is 00:47:23 I am given to Advil. She continues. to twist my nipple and I fight with all my might to stay awake. Oh my God. I am told I will need to be airlifted off the island to Miami. My best friend is with me. To get to the charter plane, we have to take a boat. I'm hunched over with blood all over me.
Starting point is 00:47:41 This is insane. And a bed sheet holding my collarbone together. When we arrived to the charter plane, I see a group of kids hanging out in the waiting area. One of them is Alex Earl. They ask if I'm okay. Tell them, no. I hit Alex Earle's friends dab pen. I sit in the corner with my friend and watch Alex Earl and her friends, literally as I am covered in
Starting point is 00:48:07 blood. My best friend and I board the charter plane. The pilot has to help me since I cannot climb as he is buckling my seatbelt. He elbows me in the face. Oh my God, Layla is not okay. When we reach the Miami airport, people are concerned. They think we are escaping a third world country. Random families in the airport approach us offering us cash and advill.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Cash and adville. My best friend carries our belongings since I am useless. I am cranky and a bitch. She doesn't complain. When we land in Baltimore, I exclaimed to the family, take me, I exclaim to my family, take me to the hospital. They tell me it's not safe due to the pandemic and that the doctor said my collarbone is most likely fractured and will heal in time. I spent three days in bed with only two advent. every six hours without a vape.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I know. I know something is so is terribly wrong. I know something is terribly wrong. I knew this was more than a fracture. Finally, I am taken to the hospital. They perform emergency surgery. They prescribe me oxy cotton. I spent the rest of the pandemic addicted to oxy cotton.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And Alex comments. Alex comments. Wait, why do I remember this? She never misses. She never misses them grabbing twisting her nipple. Everyone sees my name. Nipples. Keep her awake is actually, like, I'm trying to find another one that really made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Like, though, that trend has really saved my ear for me. Ready? Listen. Listen. I'm listening. This is my personal favorite. I buy sour skittles. Have you seen this one?
Starting point is 00:49:54 No. I buy sour skittles for my return flight from Barcelona. It's a big family size bag. It doesn't close, so I fold the top over and put them in my backpack. I go through the airport, I go through airport security. I have to unzip my backpack to remove my life. laptops. I go through the x-ray that attempt to grab my belongings from the bins as fast as possible. There's a long line. I have too much stuff. I attempt to bear hug all my stuff. Backpack still
Starting point is 00:50:19 unzipped. I hear clacking as my family size begins to spill out onto the airport floor. Hundreds of skittles bounce and scatter spanning the 20-foot radius around me. They are everywhere. Everyone is looking at me. I can't even communicate to apologize because I don't speak Spanish. A TSA agent looks sent me and the wreckage I have caused and says, Adios, Eminem. I have no hands because I am bare hugging my belongings. There is no way to recover. Every step sends more Skittles cascading onto the floor
Starting point is 00:50:54 and bouncing in all directions. I set my stuff down and look at the TSA agents defeated. There are Skittles everywhere, blocking the path under the machines. I didn't know Skittles could travel such a large radius. It's a slipping hazard. I have held up airport security. I don't have a broom. How can I help?
Starting point is 00:51:09 I'm paralyzed. The TSA agents speak to each other in Spanish and just wave to me to keep going. There's nothing I can do to help. I sit down and skittled. This sounds like my worst nightmare. I skit down in skittal covered shame. My sweatshirt filled with skittles. The TSA agents don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:51:23 They don't have a skittal protocol. The TSA agents just start kicking the skittles under the machine. That x-ray your luggage so that they don't block the path. Five TSA agents all kicking my skittles under the machines. I walk away glad that I had looked cute that day so they felt pity on me and didn't just put me on the no-fly list. Now I have no skittles for my flight. Will I buy more? could I. I deserve to suffer. I flee and sit down to charge my phone and decompress. I pull out a
Starting point is 00:51:49 plug converter and plug it in. An explosion of the clerk occurs. Sparks fly everywhere. Because of the skittled dust. The whole charging section doesn't work anymore. I blew the fuse. Again, I flee into the night. I question myself worth. I pity my mother for spending nine months creating such a creature destined to antagonize and cause destruction. I look to God for salvation. Forgiveness. He doesn't answer. He frowns upon me. When I was eight, I went on a family road trip with my mom, my grandma, and my grandpa. I had to pee really bad, so we stopped off at a gas station. When I was peeing, I felt a sharp pain in my butt. Turns out it was a bee underneath the toilet seat, and it had stung me in the ass crack. I ran out yelling and screaming to anyone that would listen.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I ran up to my mom, and she laughed at me and told me there was nothing she could do about it except put ice in it. She went to the gas station to get snacks and made me wait outside. I was sitting on the curb outside the gas station when I started feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. My throat was closing up. Choking, I went to my grandma and told her, I said I couldn't breathe. She said I was being overdramatic and it was fine. It wasn't fine. I was having a severe allergic reaction to the bee sting in my ass crack. I had no knowledge of this bee allergy prior.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Then I collapsed onto the floor. My mom ran out and called an ambulance. Literally on the verge of death, I was rushed to the hospital. When we got there, I had to sit in the ER waiting room since there was no space, choking, dying, fading in and out of consciousness. From this stupid beasting. It always gets me. Fating in and out of consciousness always gets me. Says this bee sting in my but hole.
Starting point is 00:53:11 My mom had stayed with me in the ambulance and left me. my grandma and grandpa had trapped to the hospital. My mom then got a call. My grandma and grandpa had gotten into a car crash on the way there. They swerved off the road and hit a tree. They were severely injured, and the paramedics were already on the scene. From this news, I started panicking and projectile vomiting
Starting point is 00:53:32 onto everyone in the ER next to me, all over the chairs, all over the floor. My mom left me there to go to the crash by myself, eight years old, sobbing, vomiting, just had an allergic reaction, and people were disgusted covered in my vomit. The nurse is worst night of my life. I now hate bees and have a hatred of bees.
Starting point is 00:53:49 My grandma and grandpa recovered only for my grandma to die two weeks after that by slipping and falling down the stairs. I hate my life. So I guess that's my favorite trend of 2024. Yeah, but that's like really recent. So like really think about it. Is that really your favorite? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Okay. Maybe the Apple dance as well. Yeah, that one was very. It's just easy. Everyone could do it. Yeah. It was like, I love a tron that's easy. Nothing was wrong with Brat Summer.
Starting point is 00:54:20 It cured a lot. I was great. I had a great. I felt great. It looked great. Ratsmer like healed us as a society, I want to say. Well, yeah, we were looking. We were looking for it.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Yeah. We needed it. What did we learn in 2024? In 2024 where I learned how lucky I am that I'm surrounded by people who genuinely make me laugh so much. Right. Because life is, is not. as fun without laughter.
Starting point is 00:54:47 And I think that our friends, particularly you and I, find, like, our way out of a lot of things by laughing. A hundred and ten percent. Like most things, we find our way out of by laughing. Some people don't resonate. But we do. And I've found myself in situations where I laugh and they don't, and it's, like, a bit awkward.
Starting point is 00:55:08 But I'm really lucky that, like, for the most part, like, everyone I surround myself with likes to laugh with me. And I feel really lucky. That's amazing. I have learned, number one, that I don't listen. Number two, well, I always knew. You didn't learn that this year. Number two, I've learned that I've, like, I can't enjoy life.
Starting point is 00:55:28 I've learned that I'm addicted to social media and addicted to my phone. You know what we say to Jake? And keep this in. What? We tell him, Jake would rather be in a cold, bare room with nothing but a strong air conditioning. And a couch and Wi-Fi and a fully charged phone, then be on like a beautiful, luxurious vacation, surrounded by all those he loves.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Nope, he'd rather be alone in the room that's cold with Wi-Fi and a phone charger. And it made me think. Like, I'm addicted to my phone and social media and I need to. So I need to be more present. That's what I learned in 2024. I need to be present. I need to enjoy my life. So that's what you learned, but you didn't act on.
Starting point is 00:56:09 A hundred percent. I think what I learned and acted on was that, I learned and acted on... Weed isn't good for me. Yeah. It's not good for me. I'm really proud of you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:21 We could still have fun every once in a while. I don't know if I can. I honestly really don't like weed. It never hits for me. Oh, it hits for me in ways that I can't even begin to describe. Like, I get so paranoid ever since that one time. I started getting very paranoid. That's when I realized I needed to stop.
Starting point is 00:56:39 It was before I put out Pussin Poems. And I didn't want to put it out anymore because I was saying, smoking so much and like second-guesting myself. I want to make a Junday song. I would love to. Yeah. If I ever get back in the studio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I would love to get back in the studio. Yeah. That those creative juices. Yeah. What else did you learn? Oh, I learned that I need to drink more water. Oh my God, I don't drink water. I don't drink water.
Starting point is 00:57:01 We don't drink water. Why don't we drink water? I don't know. This is all I've drinking today. I don't think I've drank water today. That's like a third. I'm seriously like my lunch today was so good. You would have died.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Really? Spicy grain-free McNuggets. I don't like McDonald's. Sorry, I don't like fast food. That's the most pick-me thing about me. I don't like pizza to eat their own. Yours is worse. Yours is worse.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yours is worse. Yours is worse. How do you not like McDonald's or any type of fast food? Because, ew, what is the meat? Ew. It doesn't matter. That's the beauty of McDonald's. Who's on my side?
Starting point is 00:57:33 Pizza or fast food. Do you not like fast food, Nolan? I fucking hate fast food. But I did order McDonald's at like 2 a.m. Last night. What were you having a fun night? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:57:43 You were just hungry. It was the first time I've ever ordered McDonald's that. What did you get? Tell me what you got. I got a Big Mac because I've never tried a Big Mac. How good? It was honestly pretty good. I wanted for dinner.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I was expecting it to not be great. But everything else was. What the fuck are we getting for dinner? Yeah, I hope that like somehow in 2025 we can like not have this issue every fucking day. What the fuck are we getting for dinner? I think like I would like soup. I want pasta. I want a big bowl of pasta.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Okay. Do you want to make it or get it? They want to make pastina. That was your idea. I know, but I would be down for it. Okay. Pastina is like somewhere between like soup and pasta. Pastina.
