Hey everyone, welcome back to the almost living
podcast. This is episode 8 And let's just let's
just jump into it I'm doing pretty good. I worked
this morning at 6 I took a lift to work Sometimes
that's just a part of the self -care routine
Sometimes that extra 20 minutes really means
everything Yeah, lifted to work and Had my air
pod case and I was I opened it up to pop something
in and you know, maybe listen to a podcast or
something and It was empty. I left my air pods
at my apartment all day and I was like, oh Lovely,
but it was fine. It was pretty chill. Um It's
also like cold in New York again, which is very
annoying It was like literally gorgeous a few
days ago like perfect spring day like You know
70 degrees sunny warm, but not hot like just
beautiful and Now it's cold again, and I also
think it's like low -key hailing I was outside
and it looked like rain and then I literally
got hit by a piece of ice so Don't know what
the fuck's going on, but I was fooled. I was
fooled by the fake spring I was like, oh my god,
we made it like we're over the hump and We're
definitely over winter, but we're in the weird
in between where it's like Yeah, it's just it's
just kind of a fucking mess but um Yeah, I want
to start off by talking about capitalism Which
you know, if you know me, you know, I just love
me some fucking capitalism Yeah, I mean I I talked
in the last episode about my new Work schedule
as of December where I have two jobs and I'm
working At 6 a .m. Four days a week and then
I'm usually working. I Basically have one day
off most most weeks today. I actually have two
days off, which is so exciting but yeah I've
I've been burnt out for a while I am so tired
and it is it's just so crazy like just like the
normalization of of living this way um because
I I already have ADHD as I've talked about many
many times I have issues with motivation I have
issues with like executive function and like
doing things But especially when you're living
under capitalism and you're working working two
jobs It's really hard and I try not to beat myself
up when I don't Utilize my very limited free
time to do things that are quote -unquote productive
And I literally so like I have this pair of jeans
that There I've had for like At least three years
maybe like four three four years They're just
these awesome like baggy Very I guess you could
say very it gives like early 2000s, you know,
like just huge ass jeans, but like fitted like
they're kind of They're they're not low -waisted,
but the waist is It fits me, but it hangs off
just a little bit so If I'm wearing like Usually
you can kind of see my underwear. I don't know
why I'm like going into the Fucking details of
these jeans. They're just really comfortable.
I love them. They're super cute and I I have
I have a pair of skinny jeans that I have gotten
that I've been able to work with but for the
most part I don't really like a skinny jean or
I just don't like any It doesn't have to be skinny
any gene where I can't move and I'm not like
if I can't like bend my leg It makes me feel
claustrophobic So that's why I love these jeans
because it feels like wearing sweatpants like
they're so giant and comfortable So I wear them
a lot. I've worn them a lot over the years and
a few months ago I noticed that a hole started
to form in the crotch and at first it was just
like little hole I was like oh okay I took note
of it and I was like damn like that sucks like
these are my favorite jeans and the hole just
started to get bigger and bigger and bigger and
bigger and I knew in my head and I don't know
how to sew or I didn't know how to sew and I
was like I just need to like you know sit down
one of these days and just like sew these sew
this whole clothes and you know watch a video
or whatever the fuck and figure out how to do
this and y 'all don't understand how daunting
this task seemed to me like i was just like oh
my god like i just don't have the time or the
energy to like fucking sit down and do this shit
like i don't um and so the hole just continued
to grow and grow and grow and then it became
like two holes and it was just like something
where i was constantly like and also like at
my job at my coffee job We have to wear pants,
you know, I can't wear like sweatpants or anything
else and I don't own a lot of pairs of pants
So i'm rotating out like my four fucking pants
that I like find comfortable and whatever to
wear like every single week, so i'm wearing the
jeans that have the hole in them and It's just
getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger
um anyways, I say all about to say I finally
patched the hole up like week ago On one of like
I was working that morning and I think I I took
the jeans and my little sewing kit that I had
bought and I put it in my tote with me so that
after work I went to the library and I made that
my task And I did it and it took like not long
at all like 15 minutes and I was like oh okay
so this this task that i've been putting off
for months has genuinely taken no time like what
but that is i mean one that's ADHD ADD but that's
also just like i feel like it's honestly Like
that's just that's what capitalism is It's like
I I have not had the time or the energy to do
this like very basic simple task and it's the
problem has been getting worse and worse and
worse because it's just like every day I go to
work and then I get off and it's like I'm so
tired that I don't want to even do anything for
my own joy or my own comfort or whatever and
It's wild but the hole is closed. I'm very proud
of myself and I'm happy that I also like Like
yeah, it literally was not hard at all. So I'm
like, okay I can sew things I can close things
up but something else that I have put off for
months and I'm finally like able to confront
because it's just gotten to a point where I can't
ignore any longer is So with my work schedule,
whatever I am on my feet so much. I'm on my feet
all day and so I'm constantly wearing shoes and
This is like This is something I've never truly
actually sat down and thought about and like
done any research about until now, but like Shoes
are not made for your feet like the average shoe
It's not even when you look at shoes when you
look at heels when you look at anything it's
like an Equal, you know, it's circular But it's
like What am I trying to say? It's um, it's like
a centered Like The shoes are not shaped how
feet are shaped. That's what I'm trying to say.
I don't know why I'm having trouble. Um Shoes
are not shaped like feet like most people your
feet You know people have different toes, but
for the most part like It's a slant. You know
your big toe is high. It's higher than your pinky
toe And it you know from your big toe to your
pinky toe it it's going down That's not how shoes
are shaped shoes are just like it's it's like
even it's all It's it's a cosmetic like it shoes
are made to look fashionable like which you know
understand like you want to have Cute shoes if
you have to wear shoes every day but like Literally
majority of the shoes are not fucking actually
like that I know I know what that's obvious,
but I do it's actually not because people don't
really talk about it. No one really mentions
it and Like converse I used to I still have the
pair but I haven't worn them because I literally
wore the shoes So much that the souls have started
to protrude and so i stopped wearing them because
i was like i'm scared of like being out in public
in these like the bottom of my shoe literally
just falling off um but like i love i used to
love converse like i like the way they look once
you break them in they're just you know a nice
looking shoe but they're so first of all they're
so narrow but they're it's like that i think
is a perfect example of just like how you're
we're cramming Our shoe we're carrying our feet
where our toes are like supposed to spread out
Y 'all I don't know. I I'm not trying to ramble
about this for 20 minutes But I watched a video
on it last night because basically, okay I'm
sorry. This is all over the place. I say all
that to say I Since I've started working so much.
I have been I have developed foot pain and ankle
pain and I have like this corn on one of my toes
okay we're getting we're getting real i don't
care i have a corn on one of my toes basically
it's it's just essentially like when there's
a bunch of pressure and a bunch of friction calluses
will start to form and calluses are normal we
all have calluses to a certain degree on our
hands on our feet whatever but when a callus
you keep experiencing that same friction that
a corn will develop and a corn is basically just
a callus but when you put pressure on it it starts
to hurt and it's like a sharp pain. So I have
that on one of my feet and it's literally to
the point where like when I get up in the morning
and I put my shoes on and I immediately feel
that pressure like my feet already hurt like
it's not even just like oh it's a walking around
like no my feet hurt so I have known for a few
months now that I'm like I have to get new shoes
like because my shoes that I have are literally
from high school you know like I just I get shoes
new sometimes but it's not something that I'm
doing often like shoes are expensive and it's
also like it's a whole event to get new shoes
and I buy new shoes online sometimes too but
like I feel like with shoes you really have to
try them on know how they feel so that's why
it's just something I never want to fucking do
like I don't want to go to like a DSW and spend
five hours walking around in shoes but Do I do
actually have to do that because I've been putting
this off again because of capitalism and because
of the fact that I'm so tired That I don't want
to dedicate my only free time to like doing a
chore So I've just been putting it off. But y
'all it's really getting ridiculous. My feet
hurt so bad and it's to the point now where I
have ankle pain and It's like the front of my
foot. It's my shins. It's all of it and um it's
getting really scary and i've been like trying
to google like shoes with wide toe boxes because
that's really what it is is i was like i was
like okay i'm experiencing this pressure on my
toe so like i must have wide feet and so i've
been looking at shoes for wide feet but that's
the thing is i don't have wide feet my feet are
pretty narrow it's just the toes like my feet
aren't literally normal it's just the fact that
shoes not made to fit feet like they're you it's
normal to squeeze your toes together and have
your toes be squeezed together all day and I
watched a whole YouTube video of this guy talking
about like recommending different shoe brands
talking about what makes a shoe healthy for you
and Yeah, I mean it's just crazy like he explained
very briefly but like your your toes like your
feet like that's a pretty important part of your
body it That's you're balancing your whole body
on that so your feet need to be strong and they
need to be healthy and your toes Do as well because
they're supposed to splay and allow like, you
know If you're going on your tippy toes or anything
like that. It was it was so It was eye -opening.
I'm not even fucking gonna lie to you like and
I just it's something that I need to do now because
I like I'm It's gonna get to a point where I
have to go to like a doctor or something and
I don't want to have to do that So he's just
like damn trying to find shoes with with wide
toe boxes and it sucks because so many shoes
are really cute, but I just I Know like it's
actually When I get home and I get to take my
shoes off like it is like wow like feeling my
toes being able to Just be normal and not be
Crunched into a shoe is really nice. But yeah,
I don't know that's that's been Something I have
been Tapped into recently. I just ordered a new
pair of shoes and they're like low -key like
barefoot shoes The shoes that are like really
flat and they have a wide toe box and that's
the thing is So many shoes that are good for
your feet are really ugly, but I don't even care
anymore because, like, I have to get rid of these
shoes that are causing me pain. Anyways, we're
done with the feet talk. I'm sorry if that was
extremely uninteresting, but to me, it's very
important. So, yeah. Y 'all, like, look into
the shoes that you're wearing, truly, especially
if you experience any discomfort throughout the
day, like that. It should not be normal, but
for me it has been normal for the past few months
because I just have not had the time. Um... Yes.
Yes. And I, the other day I got off work and
I went to go to this place to get these shoes
that I saw online that came up. Um, when I, I
searched like shoes, like yes, shoes with white
toe boxes and it's also fucked up because Half
of the like all of the shoes that I saw that
came up It was you know when you see the shopping
thing like it was just it was it said sponsored
products So I'm like are these even like is this
what I'm actually looking for or is this just
what Google is trying to? Sell to me like I don't
know. But anyways, I went to the store in person
to try on the shoes and it was in Soho it was
called like G you I think I had never heard of
the store The shoes were cute. It was like these
ballet sneakers, but I I had to get the fuck
out of there just out of the area I Hate I hate
Soho it is disgusting All of the rich people
and that's the thing too with it warming up It's
like cool and it's also not cool that once it
warms up then everyone is out Because I don't
want to see rich people. I don't. I don't. And
that's one thing that really fucking sucks about
New York. There's so many people here with money
and it just makes me feel so not even poor. It
just reminds me that like this is my life and
I unfortunately have to work and all of us have
to work. But like So many people I'm just like
what do y 'all do? It's just people walking around
with like fucking 10 shopping bags from like
all these bougie ass places Like what do y 'all
do for work? I'm like walking crossing an intersection
in this girl in a Convertible who looks to be
about 17 years old is like driving through and
I'm like, oh my god like I really Just can't
I can't do it. I hate it. It's such a soulless
place to be Yeah, that's all I have to say about
so ho I Like work pretty close to there so it's
it's you know I'm never like going out of my
way to go there, but From walking through or
there's you know somewhere near there. I need
to go. It's just like oh, hey Hey, lol Um Let's
talk about some pop culture, I guess I Guess
we can do that. I guess I want to talk about
dochi because Dochi said something on threads
that pissed everybody off and I am currently
Finding it should have been more prepared. Sorry
Dochi said on threads People act like it's a
crime to dislike cats when they genuinely aren't
friendly animals, they don't want to be domestic
Just leave them alone. Like it's not organic.
I'm sorry be for real It's so rare that cats
are immediately lovey without years of pain and
work put in y 'all be scratched and beat the
fuck up by your own animals I can't So she said
that on threads Everyone got pissed off, you
know, obviously the cat people and I just want
to give my two cents because I Grew up with a
dog in my house who like I begged my parents
for legitimately two years straight for a dog
like and When I say that I genuinely mean every
single day. Can I have a dog? Can I have a dog
camera dog? Writing letters Putting you know
writing can I have a dog on little pieces of
paper tying it to a balloon like throwing it
into my parents room like making presentations
like I'm not I I begged okay, cuz I love dogs
or I Even before I had I'd ever really had one
I knew that I loved dogs just from my interactions
and I to this day love dogs I'm definitely a
dog person So I had a dog growing up My first
experience living with cats was in college. Both
of my best friends had a cat and we all lived
in a house together. And so that was my first
time living with them. And since then, I've honestly
lived with so many cats. I feel like every roommate
that I have had has had a cat. Um, cause I mean,
hey, cats are popular. I think amongst, I feel
like amongst Gen Z, like, I don't know. I feel
like Because I think it's just like they're super
easy In the sense that like yeah, you don't have
to walk them. They're like pretty independent
whatever So I Before I ever had lived with a
cat I definitely was a person where I was like
I don't like cats I've lived with them now and
I think cats are cool They can be cool and obviously
every animal every cat is different Know some
cats that are evil and I know some cats that
are really really sweet the cats that I live
with right now is super clingy and touchy She's
like literally the kindest cat I've ever met.
It's kind of crazy um but I Definitely don't
think what dochi said was wrong I'm not gonna
lie because that is I do hold that opinion and
like This mate. I don't know. I feel like you
Feathers are gonna be ruffled, but I Don't I
don't like that about cats that you know I of
course respect it like that is how I am we're
like You know you have to like build that trust
in order for me to you know, whatever give affection
That's most people but cats are like that where
you have to you know build that trust up and
Work towards it for them to like you cool respect
it awesome great i don't like that in a pet because
i think if i am going to you know go adopt an
animal and bring them into my house and have
them not be paying any rent paying for any groceries
paying for anything um i think that you me i
want unconditional love from an animal and that's
what I love about dogs is you really don't have
to do anything they will most likely be nice
to you um so I find that annoying about cats
I think you know I don't want to have to like
do a bunch of work to make an animal like me
and The end where she's like people be scratched
up and beat the fuck up by their own animals
is also a true statement like every fucking person
I know who has a cat constantly has scratches
up and down their arm and tears and fucking bruises
and all types of shit from and and like my best
friend in college like yeah, her arms would be
tore up and It was just like, you know, yes TV's
just I like no No, I can't do that cuz I my um
my best friend my like one of my roommates in
college She had a cat and I would play with her
cat and the cat would be cool and then all of
a sudden the cat would unleash its fucking knives
of claws and it's sharp ass teeth and start like
bite like no, I'm not doing that and yeah i feel
like that's pretty normal sort of normalized
to for cats to just like switch up like that
i don't like it i don't like it and that's not
my thing um so yeah i don't think doji was wrong
i think she's entitled to have her own fucking
opinion i don't understand why everyone is like
up in arms especially because cat people talk
shit about dogs all the time and are like dogs
are so gross and they're so needy and they're
this and they're that it's like We're all entitled
to have our opinions. Um, but anyways, let me
move on. I've been talking about this for like
four fucking minutes. Um, what else? Chapel Rowan.
This is something small, but I just, she's funny.
I feel like if I were famous, I would be like
Chapel Rowan. Like there's this video going around
of her right now. Um, she's like outside of something
somewhere trying to get somewhere and paparazzi
are, you know, being paparazzi and being annoying
and then she's recording them and being like,
yeah, so like these are the people that aren't
listening to my requests and are disrespecting
my boundaries and blah blah blah blah blah. And
I don't know, like I think it's real and I honestly
I've had some like, Chaperone has annoyed me
in the past because like her Take on Her takes
with boundaries and all of that is very real
but I do remember there was a point where she
was like complaining about You know just like
being famous and you know how it's Hard and how
it's you know frustrating not having your privacy
and not having this not having that and you know
complaining a lot and like Don't know I feel
I Have different feelings about it like I totally
Part of me is like, okay, I understand it's annoying
but if you don't want to be famous if you don't
want to deal with that then delete your Instagram,
you know, delete your social media and go away
for a few months and and people will forget about
you and You know, it's not that you I don't know
like you can do music and you can do your own
shit But you're famous now that is what it is
if you don't want to be famous anymore than like
I said delete your social media Create an alias
and maybe do your music under that I don't know
how it really works Like once you're already
famous like trying to rid yourself of that fame
but you can't have your cake and eat it too like
you can't have all of the benefits of being rich
and famous you know like not having to live under
fucking i mean you live under capitalism but
not having to like actually experience the weight
of capitalism and like going to a fucking job
that you hate and not having a life that you
want to live like if you're gonna be famous You're
gonna be rich then you need to deal with being
rich and famous if you don't want to do that
Then you don't have to So that is how I feel
sometimes but I also do like I you know, I've
had my thoughts I think everyone has about like
what would it be like to be famous, but I truly
don't think I could fucking handle that I think
I would get extremely agitated very quickly and
I would be overstimulated because Mitch I'm already
overstimulated leaving my apartment and you know
having to deal with a random man like Catcalling
me and saying some crazy shit to me that already
takes so much energy out for me to have to like
rebuttal and be like fuck you Stop talking to
me. So I can't imagine being a celebrity and
having You know every time you leave the house
people not only bothering you but like knowing
who you are harassing you trying to take pictures
whatever that sounds terrible, but again if you
Don't know I don't know because it's like Yeah,
I mean you can't be a celebrity and not deal
with that so I Don't know but I do think Celebrity
culture stand culture all of that is Unnecessary
it's getting out of hand and That brings me to
the next thing that I wanted to talk about which
was Rihanna and A few days ago, this woman shot
at Rihanna's house, shot at the outside of her
house. And, you know, that happened. And they
found this woman's Facebook and her social media
and she has had, she's made so many posts and...
and talked about Rihanna in a way that's like
very strange like there's a video of her where
she was like yeah Rihanna like I know you want
to be me and you're you have this giant forehead
and God is punishing you like genuinely genuinely
very insane like I she like there's some psychosis
or something happening here but that situation
and so many other things, I just feel like celebrity
culture, stan culture, it's got to stop because
that is so scary and we have created this environment
where people feel like they know people who are
famous or people who are on the internet and
yeah, it's like It's really it's just not it
isn't okay. It's not and but I also don't know
how if celebrities are a thing and the Concept
of famous people is something that exists. I
don't know how we're how I Don't know how that
can exist without there being you know, so many
negative consequences You can't be known by so
many people and not experience the negatives
of that And I don't know I just I think it's
fucking crazy and stupid like who cares these
people are like normal people they just have
a ton of money like that's the only thing that's
special or different about them though they have
money and then you know some of them have talent
that's it like that's all it's not it's not that
deep and it is just really scary and disturbing
because like you know Selena she was murdered
by someone who was a supposed like super fan
and you know that that's something that happens
like it is so scary just the way that people
foster these relationships with people that they
don't fucking know um so yeah I being a celebrity
sounds horrible um just like everything about
it like I my dream I say this all the time and
I'm like being funny, but I'm also not like I
also am dead serious. I just want to be a micro
influencer like a niche micro influencer on like
literally Instagram like I just want to be one
of those bitches who's like a quote -unquote
model, but like I don't want to actually have
to Do I don't want to have to do any? Like I
just want to take pictures I just want to post
pictures of myself on Instagram And have that
be my job Like that's it and I don't like I don't
think that's too much to ask for like I just
want to Post pictures on Instagram and have that
be my job and like people do that like people
do that I don't want to have to actually disclose
personal things about myself I say on my podcast,
but Yeah, I just want to be like a Little tiny
influencer where it's like I can you know live
a normal life No one really knows who the fuck
I am. I can go out be normal cool but I just
have clout and so I get shit for free and I get
to do like fun modeling shoots and get like PR
like I don't know that is literally my my dream
I just want to do that or Or like travel influencer
also would be cool any influencer really even
though I Think influencers can be annoying as
fuck Yeah, that would be cool I don't know guys,
I don't know What else Do I want to talk about
I guess we can talk about like media and stuff
I saw that there's this new show on Netflix That
is a dating show where basically it's basically
Love No, it's not below his blind at all It's
it's basically just literally dating show where
they don't know the ages of each other then like
the only clip I saw was these this woman and
this man and She was beautiful. She was gorge
and she was like, do you know how old I am? And
he was like no and she was like I think she said
she was 56 and she did not she looked like I
would have thought like maybe 30 or early 30s
She said she was 56 And then he was like, he's
like, okay. He's like, you know how old I am
She was like no and then it was like a long long
pause like build up and then it just cut that
was like the little teaser I saw but yeah, I
guess it's this new show coming out. I think
that's really stupid like Okay, cool. I get it
But I don't understand like that doesn't really
after Couple times. I don't under I don't see
how that could be that entertaining or interesting
To just see people date and then they just do
an age reveal like genuinely who gives a fuck
I Don't know the state of Netflix the state of
like Netflix dating shows. Oh my god. Wait, this
is what we should talk about Netflix dating shows
bad trash and let's talk about love is blind
because i saw this clip that literally or i watched
a whole youtube video about it actually hashtag
weed brain um saw a saw this clip okay so love
is blind hello like hello love is blind love
is blind is a show where they get a bunch of
people together and they're dating and they're
in pods they cannot see each other Hence the
name and it's an experiment where they're trying
to figure out if love is blind Obviously, it's
not Obviously, it's not and so many people have
made jokes about it and there are memes about
how like the people on love is blind or will
try to Figure out what the person that they're
talking to looks like by asking questions where
they'll be like Yeah, so would you say like?
Would you say um You know if you're at like a
you know family reunion And you guys are having
a bunch of food like what kind of food would
you are you guys preparing? You know for like
your dinner or whatever like you know trying
to find out like what race they are or like Do
you would you say that you're? active Do you
like to work out like you know? What you know
like it's just I'm not giving good examples,
but like trying to do, trying to ask like roundabout
questions to get an idea of what they look like.
I have only seen I think one season of Love is
Blind and the season that I saw was the one where
it went pretty viral. It was, there was the woman
on there who said that she gets told that she
looks like Megan Fox. It was this whole thing.
Oh my god. It was so oh my god I'm like I'm getting
flashbacks like cringe flashbacks cuz she's in
these these pods, right? They're in the pods.
They're talking and I don't know if he asked
or if she just brought it up. Maybe he did ask
maybe he did ask it That's also funny. Like they'll
be like, yeah, so, you know When people say you
look like a celebrity like who would they say,
you know, who do you usually get like it's just
so whatever So either he asked I don't fucking
remember but she was talking about she was a
flight attendant and she was talking about What
she usually hears when people say that she looks
like a celebrity and she was like, yeah, like
I always get um What's her name? Machine gun
Kelly's wife And then the guy that she was talking
to I think his name is Jimmy I don't know why
I remember his name Jimmy was like, he's like
looking, looking down, looking kind of confused,
and then he's like, oh wait, Megan Fox? He like,
he gets this smile on his face where he's like,
he's like machine gun Kelly's wife, like who?
And then he's like, wait, Megan Fox? And she's
like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's also like, bitch,
you knew what you were doing. You knew what you
were doing. Say Megan Fox. Like, you know her
fucking name. Don't say Machine Gun Kelly's wife.
Megan Fox has been famous and been more famous
for longer than Machine Gun Kelly. Like, no one
cares about him. But she knew what she was doing.
She wanted him to figure it out. But he was like,
he was like, Megan Fox? And she was like, yeah,
like. she's like i don't know i think it's just
like um we both have dark hair and light eyes
but of course he hears that and he is getting
so excited because megan fox like sex symbol
um beautiful woman who by the way i think has
a bbl now it's kind of disappointing but anyways
um yeah he like and i mean you can't blame him
like Also, I mean that's just the the whole crux
of the show like People tell you they give you
bits of information and then you're imagining
you're you're forming this person in your brain
because that's what the fuck the only thing that
you can do like you know, and so anyways, they
meet and I don't think anything was actually
ever said where he was like Or did he? I'm sorry,
y 'all. It's been a while since I saw this season.
But anyways, the point I'm trying to make by
telling that whole fucking story is that she
does not look like Megan Fox. And so I think
she was kind of wrong for saying that. And I
mean, yeah, she definitely was just the dark
hair and the light eyes, but that doesn't mean
that you look like someone. Just means you guys
have the same hair and eye color. But... Yeah,
it's a problematic show because people come on
and they're like, you know, I want to find love
and I don't want to but unfortunately attraction
is important it is and that's not like That's
not That's not a bad thing Attraction is not
everything but it is important and so having
a whole whole dating show where people aren't
seeing each other and then you're getting them
together like it's obviously not like It is going
to end in them breaking up in them divorcing
whatever the fuck anyways fast forward to the
most recent season i have not watched it but
i saw this clip on tiktok and then i watched
a youtube video um where someone was like just
talking about this guy but he was basically This
guy and this girl they have now moved out of
the pods because basically you're in the pods
You will talk to everyone and then you'll find
you're like top people and then out of those
top people the You'll come to a consensus. I
guess whatever and Then the guy I guess picks
whoever he wants to propose to and then they
get Get have a proposal and then they're engaged
and then I think they are put together to like
live together in like houses apartments, whatever
um, and then it's like a I guess It's a real
engagement and then they're just seeing you know,
if it's going to end in a marriage I think I
think I don't know. It's been like I said years
since I saw that season um, but this guy is with
his partner that he chose um and he's talking
to her and he's like he's basically like they're
sat down on the couch and he's just like yeah
I don't know like I guess I just don't know how
to say this but you know in the real world like
outside of the pods like I'm usually into someone
who's like who I don't know who fucking like
who goes to fucking like Pilates every day And
she's like, okay. Yeah, I guess like, what do
you mean by that? And he's like, it's even worse
that he can't just outright say it and be like,
I just want someone who's skinny or I just want
someone who is thinner. Like it would be honestly.
More respectable if he just said that but he's
like tiptoeing around and he keeps bringing up
the fucking Pilates and being like I don't know.
I just like I just I just want someone who does
fucking Pilates every it's like Okay, but what
do you mean by that? Also, she could do Pilates
every day You don't know that like anyone can
do Pilates every day like that doesn't equal
a certain body type, but of course in Like, you
know, in the fat phobic society that we live
in, you assume that someone who is working out
every day is doing so to be skinny or whatever.
Or you assume that someone who's doing Pilates
every day would be skinny. But it's so, it was
such a weird way to say that, to be like... Just
want some I don't know who fucking does Pilates
like I just want someone who fucking does blood
I'm gonna put that on my my hinge profile like
that's it like every prompt like I just want
someone who does Pilates like sorry Sorry but
Yeah He's like yeah, I just want someone does
fucking Pilates and and He was like he was like
I just want someone does fucking Pilates And
also take a shot every time I say Pilates So
I just want someone who does fucking Pilates
and just has a you know, a different And she
was like what like a different body type and
he was like Yeah, I guess I don't know. It's
like why are you being so like? Don't pussyfoot
around what you need to say just say it. That's
what you mean. Yes, you want someone who has
a different body type like if you're going to
be an asshole be that don't don't half ass it
like i don't know it was it was crazy but she
was like she was like that yeah i mean she was
like that hurts like obviously she's like wow
like that's really hurtful um she's like i don't
i don't know why you would say like yeah you
want me to like you want someone who goes to
fucking goes to Pilates like and She but you
know, she was getting offended obviously as anyone
would when their partner is like, hey I'm not
attracted to you because you're a whale and you
need to get in the fucking gym But then he was
like Reacting to her being upset about it and
he was like, that's not even what I meant Like
I didn't even mean it that way What did you mean
exactly? like what? but then the the gag is that
because i watched this like video where the person
who actually had seen the season was breaking
it down and she was very upfront like in the
pods about how she's not someone who is super
active or you know wants to like work out and
it's not even like like she hadn't she looks
she's an average woman she has an average body
type i would say like you know she's not necessarily
Not not necessarily like an athletic body type
where she's like super toned and muscly But she's
not overweight by any means like she is just
a normal human being But she was like, yeah,
I mean I like never gave you that impression
that I you know, I'm super active or I like to
do that and Yeah, it was just super fucked up
and then he basically they had that conversation
and then he was like I'm gonna go after the girl
I actually want who was another girl who was
in the pods who was engaged to another man because
you know, that's the whole thing is they get
engaged so he Goes and talks to her and then
also that was a whole nother thing Like he was
talking to her and he was being so gross and
he was like drunk I don't even know they were
at some event I guess but he was just drunk and
like Being so gross and being like, yeah, like,
you know whoever I didn't want to like, you know
want to like have sex with them like whatever
it's like, oh Okay, like it'll like okay. Yeah,
that makes sense. But it'll like you're drunk.
Um Yeah, I I Love I love reality TV. I I like
I've talked about that and every now and then
I can tap into Dating show but they're always
just like it's not to find love. It's for entertainment
So I completely like I watch it I get entertained
by it. I just never understand people who go
on it and You know are like wanting to find any
sort of like actual love it's like why do you
think you're gonna go on a fucking show where
you're blind dating and you're gonna come out
on the other end with husband or a wife and then
like have kids and be married and be happy like
that Doesn't make sense It doesn't make sense.
I don't know if y 'all remember this show from
Like a couple years ago Was called it was called
it was the ultimatum but they had a queer ultimatum
and it was so fucking messy and I oh my god I
remember watching this in college with my BFFs
and it was like fucking wild but basically Couples
couples who exist in the world go on to the show
because I guess like don't know i don't remember
necessarily i don't think that it was because
they were having issues per se but a lot of them
were just like or maybe it was it literally was
just a show where couples would come on and they
would switch partners and try that out for a
few weeks um or like whatever the time was and
then at the end they would choose if they wanted
to stay with their partner or go with a new partner
And it was so messy for obvious reasons because
I mean the whole premise of the show is fucking
messy But then it was also lesbian. So it's like,
you know, this shit is gonna be a train wreck
But it was just like And low -key was it polyamorous
like I'm trying to remember cuz I feel like there
were I Don't know. It was crazy. It was it was
like a really interesting time Yeah, I remember
just seeing that it's also like if I'm in a fucking
relationship and my partner God forbid is like
let's go on this dating show where we get to
Date other people like I think genuinely a lot
of the couples were like we just want to like,
you know an experience like spicings up bitch
Okay, you want an experience? You're my partner
and you want an experience you want to you want
to go on a dating show and date someone else?
I'll give you an experience. Oh I'll give you
experience. You'll you'll never forget Like what
are you talking about? That is so creepy like
okay, you want to go on the oh, no. Well, let's
just end it here. How about you just go on the
show like what? And then also the gag is like
you have There are a couple couples on there
who would like they switch and they do the things
and they go on the dates and you know They mingle
they're all mingling and then the like someone
would be getting jealous. We're just like hey
so real But why are you on the show? Like, why?
Why? Why would you do that? Why would you do
that? All this talk about reality TV and dating
shows has me kind of wanting to start one. Or
maybe I'll watch This Love is Blind. But then
I don't want to get pissed off. I don't know.
We'll see. All right. Well, I think I've been
talking for long enough. Hope this was interesting.
I hope you had fun. I had fun Yeah, thank you
everyone for listening. I will see you guys next
week. Bye
