🎙️New Year, Same Chaotic Twins (AUDIO ONLY)🎙️

🎆 New year. Same chaos. No false promises.

Some of you are optimistic.
 Some of you are exhausted.
 Some of you are already spiraling — welcome, you’re safe here.

This week on Twin Tangents, Anthony and Nalee ring in 2026 the only way they know how: by roasting 2025, questioning society, and immediately proving that resolutions are mostly fictional. This New Year’s episode is part reflection, part rant, part games — and entirely unhinged.

👉 Audio listeners: if you’re listening on your phone and want to see the faces, reactions, silent judgment, and visible regret that cannot be heard — head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode.

We’re talking:
 🗑️ Good f*cking riddance → dumping 2025 habits, trends, and behaviors that should not be coming with us
 🎯 Treasure or Trash → TikTok chaos, comfort shows, voice notes, cold exposure, celeb boundaries, and why common sense feels extinct
 🗣️ Rant energy unlocked → society, stupidity, merging lanes, Tide Pods, paparazzi etiquette, and why warning labels might be optional at this point
 📝 Resolution Roast → Real, Ridiculous, Impossible goals that immediately collapse under scrutiny
 🔮 Ping-pong pr

⚠️ Twin Tangents: Because Therapy Was Booked ⚠️
 Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unhinged (just a bit).

Hosted by Nalee & Anthony—this is your safe, spicy space to spiral. Expect adult content, hot takes, and high-functioning chaos.

And yes, we call our listeners H.O.E.S.
 (Hilarious. Over it. Emotionally unstable. Spicy.)
 It’s not an insult. It’s a hoe-mmunity.

What if we did choose chaos… but thoughtfully?

Nalee’s Hypothetical Hotline delivers advice that’s 70% emotionally intelligent, 20% petty, and 10% “please don’t actually do this.” Send in your hypotheticals that are absolutely not hypotheticals, and we’ll help you navigate your main-character energy with just enough restraint.

Growth. With seasoning.

This isn’t therapy. This isn’t mediation. This is Twin Tangents Court.

Where group chat screenshots become evidence, red flags are entered into the record, and absolutely no one leaves unjudged. From dating disasters to roommate crimes to petty indictments, we bring the gavel down with dramatic precision.

New cases drop every other Friday at 8 AM Central. Bring your receipts. Prepare for sentencing.

A playful, no-nonsense reminder from Anthony and Nalee to hit that follow button, leave a review, and share the pod with your favorite chaotic friend. Set over a snappy, upbeat jingle, this mid-roll blends humor and honesty to encourage listener support—because subscribing helps fuel the tangents, rants, and revelations you didn’t know you needed.

Just when you thought the chaos was over—Anthony and Nalee invite you to keep the tangents going. With a soft outro vibe and one last wink to the listener, this post-roll points you toward the Twin Tangents website and socials for more unfiltered content. Because if you’re still here, you clearly get it… and we love that for you.

Transcript

Cold Open & Welcome To Twin Tangents

SPEAKER_00 0:33

Quick explain. When we say hold, we mean it with nothing but love. It's our commonly dearness to each other, our group cat, and now all of you. If you buy with us, you're one of our hosts. And we mean that in the most affectionate, chaotic, supportive way. No offense ever. Full on friendship energy. So welcome to the whole family.

ANTHONY 1:19

Hello. Hi, Miss Nolly.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

Hello, Mr. Anthony.

ANTHONY 1:24

Hello, listeners.

SPEAKER_03 1:26

Hey, listeners. Well, happy new year. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Or as you like to call it, another 365 days of chaos we didn't ask for. And yes, you're staring at our faces again.

ANTHONY 1:48

Some of you are thrilled. Some of you are horrified. And some are like, why am I even fucking watching this? All valid. But either way, welcome to Twin Tangents.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

Hey. This episode is where we roast the past year, predict disasters for the next, and fully reveal how terrible our life choices are.

ANTHONY 2:16

And now you're stuck with it. This is Twin Tangents. May your champagne be bubbly and your patience be very, very thin.

New Year Vibes And Episode Gameplan

SPEAKER_03 2:28

Alright, so our first segment is good fucking riddance. Leaving things behind and roasting the past year.

ANTHONY 2:38

Before we dream about 2026, let's talk about what we're dumping from 2025.

SPEAKER_03 2:45

Everything. Everything, everything, everything.

ANTHONY 2:48

Anything and everything.

SPEAKER_03 2:51

Yes. Starting with our bad decisions and then like everybody else's. So this is gonna be like a quick game. It's called Treasure or Trash. And pretty much each host, they name something from 2025, whether it's a have it, a trend, a celebrity moment, a personal fail. And then the other person decides whether it's a trash it forever or a secretly treasure it. And we'll go from there.

ANTHONY 3:24

So I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but I just want to preface for our listeners. Because it is New Year's, you know, with the holidays, it's just so stressful and so at the end of the day. I'm sure you could tell, like our Christmas episode was more. I mean, you got to see our lovely faces, but it was more fun and games, and that's what today's episode is gonna be. To once all of the holidays are over and done with, we will make sure that we're getting back into the nitty-gritty of more conversational topics. But it's gonna be a lot of fun and games.

Show Schedule Updates And Video Plans

SPEAKER_03 3:59

So yes. And just to kind of piggyback on what Anthony says as a reminder, this upcoming year, we are gonna be recording every, or we're gonna be releasing every other week for our main episodes. And then in between the opposite weeks, we're gonna try to release more Nolly's hypothetical hotline and the twin tangents court. So just to kind of give you guys a heads up. No, it's not that we're getting tired of you guys or anything. It's just we're trying to kind of mix things up. Again, we are still kind of in the beginning of our podcast phase. Yeah, our journey. So our podcast era. Yes, yes. Like our cop, my handy dandy cup says, Yeah. If you could see it, I can't see anything, so I'm just gonna assume that you could see it. I can see it.

ANTHONY 4:55

The listeners can see it, the viewers can see it.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

Yes, but then again, yes, we are just trying to figure out our kinks out, or maybe I said yeah, so but you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 5:10

You know what I mean.

ANTHONY 5:11

Stumbling over her words. Yeah, we're just we really want to take the time to put out more quality content. And until we work out the kinks of, you know, getting this visual aspect of it for you, our microphones perfected, our schedules permitting, we're kind of just slowing things down a little bit because it really was a lot of you know working up to the deadline and pressure and pressure and getting it done. So now just by doing this, we're just gonna allow for a little bit more time for us to find our our own individual us time, develop a rhythm, figure out, work out all the kinks. But and I think that I'm speaking for Nolly when I say this. Y'all can best believe once the kinks are worked out and we have that rhythm solid to a T.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

Yeah.

ANTHONY 6:14

Unfortunately, you goddamn hoes are gonna most likely be stuck with our faces on a weekly basis again.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

Yeah, I would I would definitely say that. I don't know, you guys let us know. Do you guys like the visuals? I mean, this is like our second like visual thing, but do you guys like seeing our faces? You know, you you guys, what do you guys prefer? The audio. Obviously, you know, we are trying the video versions of it so that we have a little bit more content for you guys. Yes, I've been lagging on the social media aspect of it. I say full accountability for that, but no, we're just trying things out.

ANTHONY 6:55

That was 2025, boo. That's in the past, that was a shitty year. Life was lifing. This is 2026, it's all gonna be new. We're gonna be up, we're gonna be up on everything.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

You're right, you're right.

ANTHONY 7:07

But you asked a very valid question. If you guys enjoy seeing our faces, we definitely will continue to pursue this avenue.

SPEAKER_04 7:17

Yeah.

ANTHONY 7:17

But if you feel that you're opening your TikTok account or your Facebook account or going to YouTube and you see us and you're like, whoa, it's like a fucking episode of wrong turn. I'm sorry. We we can stop at the visual then.

Snow, Studio Fails, And Visual Chaos

SPEAKER_03 7:33

But well, actually, I mean, it is what it is. We're staying with our chests, we're showing you guys, you know, our chests too. But yeah, it it is what it is. I think overall, like we've said time and time again, just re like communicate with us, y'all. Like it's just us. What are you so scared of?

ANTHONY 7:56

Yeah, scared. I don't bite hard.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't bite that hard. I mean, I don't know that. I'm just I'm just saying. Richard, can you chime in here?

ANTHONY 8:10

You should have stopped while you was ahead because you already gave now I'm having visuals in my head.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

But my own personal disclaimer for this episode is I'm gonna be looking down again a lot because I have my setup on the side here. So I'm not just like randomly seizuring up or twitching up or whatever. There's a purpose to my madness. But yeah.

ANTHONY 8:36

There's always there's always a method to Nolly's madness. And I would also like to let our viewers know, our listeners know. We did really want to surprise you and do our first episode in person together.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

Yeah.

ANTHONY 8:51

Um, but the universe had other plans for us today.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

Mother Nature said, Hell to the fuck now. I'm gonna give you guys eight inches of snow instead of eight inches of something else. She decided to give us snow instead.

ANTHONY 9:06

So Nolly's very thirsty for eight inches of something.

Game One: Treasure Or Trash

SPEAKER_03 9:10

Okay. That's for a different podcast. Not this one.

ANTHONY 10:09

No, trust me, that's for this podcast. It's just a matter of when we get to that episode.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

Anyways, well, back to our program here.

NALEE 10:19

Our game.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

Yes, our game here. So is it gonna be a trash it or a treasure it? So my first question is where TikTok trends you once tried or you've seen. What is what is an example that you have?

TikTok Trends: Pranks, Ceilings, And Chaos

ANTHONY 10:39

So I don't think that I've tried many TikTok trends, but the one that I have seen, and I know the whole purpose of this game is that I'm supposed to say it, and you're gonna say whether or not you're gonna trash it or treasure it. But I'm just gonna throw this out there right now. One TikTok trend that drives me nuts, and I'm gonna fucking trash it, is that one where these stupid kids will like go to Home Depot or go to Walmart, okay, and they'll like go in an aisle where somebody else is in the aisle, and let's say they're looking at the cookies or the chips, and stup it's always a it's always a stupid kid. The kid goes down the aisle and he has two trash bins or storage container tote bins, and he puts one over the stranger's head and then puts one over his head, and then they, you know, take them off simultaneously, and they look around like, oh, who did that? Oh, some kid came down the aisle and just and that dress drives me nuts because like if I know you, it's one thing that you're playing a prank on me. But if I'm a stranger and I'm literally out doing my grocery shopping, yeah. You're fucking up with my time now, bro. I'm gonna have a problem with it. And if I find out that it's your ass, which after seeing this TikTok trend, I know it's probably your ass. I'm gonna go all Medea on your ass.

SPEAKER_03 12:09

Okay. I have yet to see those, but I will send you some because they drive me nuts. Every single time I see them, I'm like, I don't need that added to my algorithm.

ANTHONY 12:18

I'm gonna fuck up your algorithm, bitch.

SPEAKER_03 12:20

Rude as fuck. Okay, well, now we're just making up our own games, but um, which is what it is. But a trend that I that I kind of like treasure, I guess, whatever, is are those pod podcasts. Are those TikToks where like they put the camera and they tape it to the ceiling and they're just kind of like bopping and partying and then yeah, that's it. But that's it, yeah.

NALEE 12:53

That's it.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

That's it. But it looks really fun. I have not. I really, really wanted to try that, like maybe on my birthday, or maybe I'll try it today on New Year's, or I don't know. But but anyways, yeah, I would want to try that. It seems like fun.

ANTHONY 13:12

So seems like too much work.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

No, it's you're just taping it to the ceiling and then recording and then adding a song. Is it that much work?

ANTHONY 13:23

I think so. I I for me, it's just a lot of work to have to like curate all of this stuff to make it perfect.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

It don't gotta be perfect. It's fine. The messier the better.

ANTHONY 13:35

Okay, you say that, but then you're gonna do it, and then you're gonna play it back and you're gonna watch it, and you're gonna say, oh no, I can do better. Or oh no, I can't do it from this angle, and you're gonna redo it.

SPEAKER_03 13:47

Actually, you're right. Yeah, that would be me. I'd be like, wait, guys, let's do it again. Let's do like two more.

ANTHONY 13:53

But listen, I'm always right. People need to realize this. Anthony, on the ballots, 2020, what's the next election? 2028. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 14:04

Bye. Well, if you do go if you do go for president or if you whatever that word is, if you run for election is run for election, your girl will be your vice, your VP. Okay? Got it. I may not always be right, but I'm always the right vibe.

unknown 14:26

Okay.

ANTHONY 14:26

I'm always right. That's a hell I'll die on.

SPEAKER_03 14:31

I think we've had multiple recordings where you've said, oh wait, actually. Actually, I'm not right. So I'd be I'd watch, I'd watch herself.

ANTHONY 14:42

Okay. Um she's just uh throwing me under the bus right now.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

Do you have a topic? We're just gonna skip right over that.

ANTHONY 14:51

Yeah, we're gonna gloss over that. Okay. Um, so I did come up with a couple topics for this that I wanted to bring up.

SPEAKER_04 14:57

Okay.

ANTHONY 14:57

So the first note is voice note communication.

SPEAKER_04 15:01

Okay.

ANTHONY 15:02

I don't know if you use this, but I have found I don't normally I won't do voice memos unless the situation really requires it. But voice to text I have found to be a godsend because I've gotten to the point where I'm like, I'm so fucking sick and tired of like texting.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

Okay.

ANTHONY 15:25

That's what I'm saying. So that's something you treasure.

SPEAKER_03 15:27

That's something you treasure.

ANTHONY 15:29

I treasure that. I have a newfound appreciation and a newfound love for voice to text and like sending random nonsense to people.

SPEAKER_03 15:40

I would agree with the voice note. Like I know Kiki always sends me voice notes, and I'm just like, bitch, why can't you just because the thing is, I guess, I don't know, I lied. I have a love and hate relationship with this because it's like when they send me a voice note, sometimes I can't listen to it. And then it's like I would prefer them just texting it out. But I do appreciate those, like, like let's say when my sister messages me and she leaves like a three-minute voice note of tea, then that's when you're like, Sheskis, this is what I was waiting for, you know?

ANTHONY 16:15

Okay. I agree with that, but I'm gonna draw the line because if somebody is sending me a voice note for tea, I don't want a voice note for tea. Call me. This needs to be a live in-person conversation.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

I guess.

ANTHONY 16:28

But what if like I want I want the instantaneous reaction?

SPEAKER_03 16:33

Well, then you could respond with your reaction. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 16:39

Yeah, but it's different.

SPEAKER_03 16:41

I guess. Well, regardless, usually it's like they give me tea, and then once I listen to it, I'm like, oh shit, and then I give them a call anyways. So it doesn't matter. But I do like those little voice notes. I don't know. I appreciate it and I don't. I don't know.

ANTHONY 16:58

Do you like to talk on the phone?

SPEAKER_03 17:00

Yeah. I could talk on the phone for hours. Like I think me and Kikis have talked on the phone for hours. I talked to my sisters for hours. Yeah. I I could talk for a long time too. We all know that.

ANTHONY 17:16

Anytime my phone rings, I dread when my phone rings and it's somebody that I should answer the call for.

SPEAKER_03 17:27

Okay, I'm gonna tell you this and I'm never gonna ever repeat it. But sometimes I tell you to give me a call just because I want to get on your nerves.

NALEE 17:38

But I appreciate that you always pick up on my call. That's it.

ANTHONY 17:47

I'm giving you my Mariah Carey look of judgment.

SPEAKER_03 17:51

Well, it's a good thing I can't see you now, is it?

ANTHONY 17:54

Yeah, for your sake it is. Watch this later and playback.

SPEAKER_03 17:59

Yeah, probably. I'd be like, ooh, this bitch. Okay, what's your next topic?

ANTHONY 18:06

Re-watching comfort TV shows.

NALEE 18:09

Oh, treasure.

Comfort TV Wars: Belly, Conrad, And Crying

ANTHONY 18:12

Treasure it. Oh my god. Let me tell you, the last like week I have been falling asleep rewatching The Summer I Turn Pretty.

SPEAKER_03 18:23

How do you re-watch the summer I turned pretty? What do you mean?

NALEE 18:27

I hit play.

SPEAKER_03 18:28

Well, no, no, no, no. What I mean is there are five stupid. There are fine lines between shows that you can re-watch and like their comfort shows compared to shows where you just watch it one time, you're like, okay, I'm done and over with. Like for me, it's the summer I turn pretty. I can maybe watch that maybe once, twice. That's it. But like Friends, Superstore, some of you office. You know what I mean? Like, those are shows. Or shit's creep. Yeah, exactly. So those shows I could understand as like re rewatching because I think there's like a mix of comedy and like you know, like the families familiarity, whatever it's called, of like just putting it white noise. But the summer I turn pretty is just kind of like I kind of have to concentrate on that. You know what I mean? So I feel like I can't I can't re-watch the summer I turn pretty.

ANTHONY 19:27

Oh my god. I that breaks my heart. I don't even know how to describe it. I just I love the summer I turn pretty, and I love that it's I love the character growth and development through the seasons, and I just unpopular opinion. Don't say it, bitch. Don't do it. Don't do not do it.

SPEAKER_03 19:53

I'ma do it. I'ma stay with my chest. Unpopular opinion, Belly kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. Oh no. Like she be so dumb sometimes. Like, for example, the episode where they were smoking weed and she was drinking, and she was like, no, no, it's what's his face? See, I don't even remember his name. It's not Jeremiah, but the brother. Oh, it's Conrad. It's always been me and Conrad. And then I'm just like, you dumb bitch. Like, you're getting married. Like, what are you doing?

ANTHONY 20:27

But that's in the earlier season.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

Was it? No, this has been they were getting married. This is the night of the bachelorette. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Oh, that's right. Okay, and they smell queen. Yes. If you guys have not seen The Summer I Turn Pretty, sorry, we forgot to do a spoiler alert.

ANTHONY 20:47

If you haven't seen The Summer I Turn Pretty, I'm sorry that your life is that unfortunate.

SPEAKER_03 20:51

But wow. Wow. Okay. But, anyways, yeah, it's this scene where it's the Bachelorette party, and then Taylor, Tay Tay, takes her into the bathroom and she's like freaking out. And I'm just like, is this dumb bitch for real? Like, are you talking about that?

ANTHONY 21:08

That was when she was on the dance floor and she started having all the flashbacks to Conrad, and they were playing We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande.

SPEAKER_03 21:16

Yes, exactly. But yeah, I'm just like for stupid kids being stupid kids.

ANTHONY 21:25

For me, I would probably say for me, I would say that the summer I turned pretty is probably the ultimate like love story of this decade as far as shows and movies are concerned. Decade as in like what's the time frame? 2020 to 2030. So far, The Summer I Turn Pretty is like the greatest love story of that of those these 10 years.

SPEAKER_03 21:51

Okay, I will admit the part where he goes to Paris made me cry a little bit.

ANTHONY 22:01

Girl, I don't even want to talk about crime because I I I'm sick of eating pickles and I'm sick of crying. I I'm pretty sure I'm like I'm pregnant at this point. Like I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 22:15

Okay, fine. Let's talk about your next topic.

ANTHONY 22:20

Okay. My next topic is. I don't know if you've seen these in your algorithm on TikTok, but cold exposure trend trends like ice baths or cold showers or going out there like in snow, jumping in snow in your underwear.

NALEE 22:39

For me. I kind of like it.

SPEAKER_06 22:45

Oh god.

NALEE 22:46

Do you know how good cold baths are for you though? Like ice baths, like do you know how good they are for you?

ANTHONY 22:56

They're not realistic. I don't understand how people do that. I judge people who do that.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

The one that I will say that I oh go ahead.

ANTHONY 23:05

No, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

The one that I will say that kind of gets on my nerves is the one where I don't know if she's like a Swedish or or a German lady, but she jumps into this like square like lake area, and then she comes up with like these big ice sculptures or whatever, and then she's like eating them or like biting into them. I don't know if you've seen that one, but for to me, that one I'm just kind of yeah, for me, I'm just kind of like okay. Okay, yeah. But sorry, go go go ahead and say what you were gonna say.

ANTHONY 23:43

No, I don't remember what I was gonna say.

NALEE 23:45

Yeah, see, I know.

ANTHONY 23:48

Oh, okay. I was here's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say, I've tried like doing like I love hot showers. I can't. If my water would stay hot all day, I would stay in a shower, a hot shower all fucking day. Just like sit there, steam, you know, whatever. But I have tried like ending my showers with like turning it to the cold. Okay. Because they say that it's really good for you to like end your shower with like the cold. I can't do it. Like 15 seconds, and I'm like, I almost feel like I can't breathe. I'm like, well, I like gasp for air.

SPEAKER_03 24:32

I'm kind of like that too, where like every time I take I get out of the shower, like I do like maybe 10, 15 seconds of like really cold water. But I like spin in a circle. Do you do that or do you just stand in one place? Don't judge me.

ANTHONY 24:47

You have a thing with spinning, clearly. This takes us back to your story with your mom. Oh, the dancing in the rain.

SPEAKER_03 24:57

Yeah. No, because it's cold and I have to move my body. That's why I like, and the shower's coming down, so I have to kind of like equal it out. Like I have to turn to the front and then turn to the back and kind of like eagle it out. You know what I mean? You don't know.

ANTHONY 25:12

I mean that makes sense, but I don't know. It's it's a no for me. I'm trashing that. I'm leaving that in 2025.

New Year Memories And First I Love You

SPEAKER_03 25:20

Okay. Well Do you have anything? I have more, but do you have any other I uh I have maybe one more. I didn't really come up with a lot of sample ideas, but I see that you had really a really good list, so I just kind of left it up to you.

NALEE 25:37

Oh, hey.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

What about chaotic New Year's Eve memories?

NALEE 25:43

Treasure it. Okay. I love.

ANTHONY 25:49

I love love. No, I'm just I love love. I love I love memories. And you know, when I was looking at this, our plan for today's episode and like things that we were gonna discuss.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

Yeah.

ANTHONY 26:04

And I saw that this was one thing that you were interested in, and it made me like reflect on like past New Year's. Now, granted, I'm old and I can no longer stay up until midnight.

NALEE 26:20

Okay. I realized that the first time I said I love you was on New Year's. Oh, I love that. I love love.

ANTHONY 26:41

I love love. I love love.

NALEE 26:44

Is this to Richard? Yeah. Oh, do you remember what year it was? It was I can I can literally tell you the exact story.

ANTHONY 27:00

So it was 2009, and I was we were out for a New Year's Eve party, and I was outside smoking, and I heard the countdown starting.

unknown 27:14

Okay.

ANTHONY 27:15

And it was almost like it was almost like a rom-com movie where we were like fighting to get to each other, to find each other through the bar.

SPEAKER_03 27:24

Hold on, is this in New York or is this in Eau Claire?

ANTHONY 27:28

In Eau Claire, obviously. I've never been to New York.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

Oh, okay. I just wanted to make sure because I'm imagining New Year's in New York.

ANTHONY 27:36

But it's like, what's that movie, New Year's Day or whatever?

SPEAKER_03 27:41

I don't know. It's just reminding me of how I met your mother.

ANTHONY 27:45

No, it's not like that. Okay. But so rushing, pushing through the crowd in the bar to like meet, met, met together at midnight, shared a kiss. That was the first time that we said I love you.

NALEE 28:04

I love that.

ANTHONY 28:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:08

Oh, that's so sweet.

ANTHONY 28:12

I I bet you that fucker don't even remember.

SPEAKER_03 28:15

I love that. Well, yeah, because he's old. So give him a break.

ANTHONY 28:19

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 28:20

You barely almost remember that, too, so it's okay.

ANTHONY 28:24

No, I do remember that. I still remember the first time we met. I can tell you exactly what he was wearing.

SPEAKER_03 28:29

Okay, what was he wearing?

ANTHONY 28:31

Jeans, black dress shoes, and a button down, and he was drinking a vodka sour.

SPEAKER_03 28:37

What's a vodka sour?

ANTHONY 28:40

Vodka with sour. What is a vodka sour? Or maybe it was a vodka seven.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

What's a sour? Like, is that lemon lime?

ANTHONY 28:52

Sour, yeah. It's like a lemon lime, like I think it's lemon lime, or I know it's lemon at least.

SPEAKER_02 28:58

Okay.

ANTHONY 28:59

It's like the stuff that they mix in with like margaritas.

SPEAKER_02 29:02

I don't fucking know.

ANTHONY 29:04

Yeah. No, it was probably a vodka seven. It's probably a vodka seven now that I think.

SPEAKER_03 29:10

What's a vodka seven?

NALEE 29:11

Like seven up? Yeah. Oh god. I love that. Back to I love that.

SPEAKER_03 29:27

Okay. For me, I treasure it too. I love I mean, I don't I don't think I've done anything crazy on New Year's Eve before, but I think just just spending time with family and friends. Yeah, I I love memories too. So I definitely treasure that.

ANTHONY 29:49

What's so okay, so you don't think you've ever done anything crazy on New Year's?

SPEAKER_02 29:54

I don't think so.

ANTHONY 29:56

I've probably gotten like we know the craziest thing I've done on New Year's.

SPEAKER_03 30:01

Oh. Cocayana? Cocayina?

ANTHONY 30:04

Cocaina?

SPEAKER_03 30:05

Cocaina? Oh. It's only it's only a couple more hours.

ANTHONY 30:14

It has been over six years. So I'm I'm proud of you, Boo. I have no thank you.

SPEAKER_03 30:22

I'm proud of you.

ANTHONY 30:23

No addiction here.

SPEAKER_03 30:24

No addiction here.

ANTHONY 30:26

Oh my god.

Rant Podcasts, Driving Etiquette, And Soapboxes

SPEAKER_03 30:27

You know what's you know what's funny? Okay, I saw this. I didn't see it. Hannah, B sister sent it to me. And it's a video where a girl goes, you know what? I forgot what she said in the beginning, but she's like, at least I'm not addicted to Coke. We could be out here addicted to Coke, but we ain't. We addicted to Coke. So that's just kind of what that reminded me of. But it's kind of true. It's kind of true. At least we're not addicted to Coke.

ANTHONY 30:57

So I mean, if you're addicted to Coke, that's like probably the least of your worries. Let's be honest.

NALEE 31:07

Are you serious?

SPEAKER_02 31:09

It could be heroin. I guess. It could be myth.

ANTHONY 31:13

Like it could always be worse. I did just see a video of Paris Jackson.

unknown 31:18

Oh.

ANTHONY 31:19

And she was showing Michael Jackson's daughter.

SPEAKER_03 31:23

Okay.

ANTHONY 31:24

Yeah. And she showed, she flashed her like a flashlight or like her camera flashlight up her nose. She has a perforated septum.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Oh no.

ANTHONY 31:37

So like that wall between your nostrils, like it goes straight through. And it's from doing cocaine. Coke.

SPEAKER_03 31:46

Yeah, we learned that in high school. Do enough coke, you make room for, I don't know, whatever. That's nasty.

ANTHONY 31:55

You don't even have to get your septum pierced. Just do enough coke and you can save on the piercing.

SPEAKER_03 31:59

You could just tuck it underneath. God damn. That's bro. God damn. Oh, it's enough of me. Okay, what are your other topics? That was my only other topic that I wanted to talk about.

ANTHONY 32:14

Oh God, you're really gonna leave this entire segment up to me, aren't you?

SPEAKER_03 32:17

Well, duh, I did Christmas. Might as well give you a little bit.

ANTHONY 32:22

That's true. Give me a little bit of work.

NALEE 32:24

Mm-hmm. Okay, so rant podcasts that are thriving.

ANTHONY 32:34

So I I feel like I've mentioned this on the pad on the podcast before. Okay. My absolute all-time favorite podcast that I would listen to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if I could, is the I've had it podcast with Angie Sullivan. Yeah, no, sorry, not Twin Tangents. The I've had it podcast with Angie Sullivan and Jennifer Welsh.

SPEAKER_03 33:00

Shout out. Yeah.

ANTHONY 33:01

Shout out to them. If like that is my goal. I if they ever need, ladies, if you ever need a third co-host on your podcast, wow, you just ditch me just like that.

SPEAKER_03 33:16

Rude.

ANTHONY 33:17

Uh uh. I'm not ditching you. I'll do both. I would do both. But to be on their podcast would be like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

I love that. I feel like you guys would be so fun, though.

ANTHONY 33:31

I feel like we would be so fun. Yeah. And you know me. I always have something that I've fucking had it with. Every single day I could.

NALEE 33:41

We all know.

ANTHONY 33:42

My blood is boiling just thinking about it. It's not even a soapbox. It's just like common sense bullshit. Like so, viewers, listeners, like we said at the beginning of this, we attempted to record in our studio. So I was over at Nolly's earlier.

SPEAKER_04 34:05

Yeah.

ANTHONY 34:06

It didn't work. We had technical difficulties.

SPEAKER_03 34:08

It did break the snow and the camera died. So that's that's on the universe.

ANTHONY 34:17

That's on God.

SPEAKER_03 34:18

That's on God. Yeah.

ANTHONY 34:20

But going over to your house, like I was getting on to 53. Okay. The bypass. Like this is just a prime example. Like I'm getting on, and the whole point of an on-ramp is that you speed up to meet the traffic on the highway so that you can safely merge. Yep. Right? Yep. So I'm speeding, I'm getting up to speed. I look over to my left, and this car is keeping maintaining speed with me. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? You want me to slow down so that I can get on. Meanwhile, in the left lane, there's no fucking vehicles. Drivers, beware. When there's an on-ramp and there is nothing in your left lane, you should move over to the left lane to let the car in the on-ramp lane merge. He didn't fucking merge. I had to slow down to get behind his slow Tennessee fucking ass. So yeah, there's always something I've had it with.

SPEAKER_04 35:31

Yeah.

ANTHONY 35:33

Again, common sense things. Like you move over to the left to let oncoming traffic merge.

SPEAKER_03 35:39

Yeah.

ANTHONY 35:39

I think I should not be getting worked up about this.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

No, I get it. I get it. But the thing I will say though, you have to at least give them a little bit of grace because it's snowing. And when it snows, even at the time.

ANTHONY 35:51

It was not snowing at the time, Nolly. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 35:54

You weren't. It was when you were coming here.

ANTHONY 35:56

This is when I was going to your house. It was a green.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Okay. Sorry. That was my fault. I didn't listen to that. Yeah, that's your bad. Yeah, that's my bad. That's my being.

Tide Pods, Darwin Awards, And Society Rants

ANTHONY 36:06

There is rhyme and reason to my I've had it, miss.

SPEAKER_03 36:11

Okay. Okay. Well, yeah, I agree with you then. If there was no snow and you have oncoming traffic, traffic, ongoing traffic coming on, move your bitch ass over to the left. To the left, to the left. Okay. Yes.

ANTHONY 36:28

Like I would have understood more if there were cars in the left lane. But back to my main topic. So, like rant podcasts. Like I I love those podcasts that are ranting. Okay. They're bitching about real life things. It's not scripted. It's like it's high honesty.

SPEAKER_04 36:47

Yeah.

ANTHONY 36:48

Like I love that for those podcasts. And if anybody out there listening or watching knows a podcast like that, send them my way.

NALEE 37:00

Put us on. Yeah, put us on.

ANTHONY 37:02

Put us on. Thank you.

NALEE 37:03

Yes. Okay. Oh, go ahead.

ANTHONY 37:08

No, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 37:09

Oh, I was just gonna say, I don't really listen to rant podcasts, so I don't know. I listen to, y'all already know, true prime podcasts and stuff like that.

ANTHONY 37:18

So true prime.

SPEAKER_03 37:19

Yeah. But for me, I don't know if I would like rant if I would like rant podcasts, in my honest opinion. Because I feel like. Uh-oh. Unpopular opinion. I feel like that just makes me more angry. Like, I don't like feeling angry when I'm already angry. And then it just fuels your anger. You know what I mean? That's how I feel like my podcast group feels like.

ANTHONY 37:50

I don't feel like it fuels my anger. I feel like it's a really good outlet for me to get that out there. And it's a really good opportunity for me to like meet people in the middle and be like, there are other people that recognize that this is a problem.

SPEAKER_03 38:05

Okay. I guess, okay, okay. I will give you that. That I actually understand that. Yeah. I it kind of validates your feelings.

ANTHONY 38:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 38:17

Okay. Okay.

ANTHONY 38:18

Because I like have you ever had that thing where you're like, you want to bitch about something, and you're like, I'm literally probably the only person in the universe right now that's bitching about this thing that's so stupid and so, you know, unimportant. And then when you find other people are bitching about the same thing, you're like, I'm not alone.

SPEAKER_04 38:43

Yeah. No, I beg you, knowledge, for the New York 2020 script.

unknown 38:48

Okay.

ANTHONY 38:49

Listen to the I've had it podcast. It's like one or two episodes.

SPEAKER_03 38:52

Like Okay. I think I I've listened to the first one where they're talking about what were they talking about? They were talking about the that cream thing, right?

NALEE 39:03

That cream.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

I think I think you've talked to me about it too, where they called in and they're like, hey, like, how do how am I supposed to like put on this cream when it's just like there's only one way to do it? Like, why are you calling to ask and how to put it on a cream? If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure like the first episode, because you had listened to it and then you told me to listen to it, and then I did listen to it. And I'm like, okay, I could see why, like, I could see why. It just proves that like people are actually really fucking stupid. Sorry, guys. But or you could find out like how stupid people actually are. But to each their own, to each their own.

ANTHONY 39:47

No, not to each their own. There's a limit to that phrase because I truly honestly feel that we are at a point in society where let's take the fucking warning labels off of everything and let society work its way out. Because if some dumb fucker is dumb enough to eat a Tide Pod, you deserve to be six feet under. I said it with my chest.

SPEAKER_03 40:10

No, I agree to the Tide Pod for sure. Um I can't. I can't. I can't.

ANTHONY 40:18

It's like the demise of society. We're at a point where we are at the demise of society and things just need to sort themselves out. We shouldn't have to be telling people, oh, you shouldn't be eating that. Oh, you shouldn't be drinking. Oh, you shouldn't be sticking that fork in that light socket. You want to stick that fork in that light socket. Honey, you go right ahead. You you enjoy it. You go into the light. You do you do, you do, you boo. You go into that light.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

Yeah.

ANTHONY 40:53

You tell your great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents I said hello.

SPEAKER_02 40:57

I can't.

ANTHONY 40:57

They will be happy to.

SPEAKER_03 40:59

Oh my God. Tell my grandma I say hi. Oh my god.

ANTHONY 41:04

Tell my grandma I said I.

SPEAKER_03 41:06

I'm such a bitch. But you know what?

ANTHONY 41:09

You're not a bitch, but that's what I'm saying. That's the whole point of these rant podcasts. It's like, if you're that stupid, I'm not gonna handhold you to live your life. Like, come on, bro.

Paparazzi Boundaries And Millie Bobby Brown

SPEAKER_03 41:24

Yeah, people. Do such stupid things again. We've said this before, but at this point, you do your boo. If you want to put some metal shit in a microwave to see if it blows up, you do your boo. If your house is on fire, you do your boo.

NALEE 41:42

Like that's it. But yeah.

ANTHONY 41:47

It's actually kind of sad when you think about it, but no, it's really sad.

SPEAKER_03 41:51

Like our society is like slowly. Or actually, it's like pretty rapidly going down, which is Yeah. Pretty sad. But again, you do you boo. So all right, what's your next topic?

ANTHONY 42:07

I am biting my I am biting my tongue so hard right now because I have the most perfect comparison to say.

SPEAKER_03 42:16

Okay, do it. Do it real quick. Get out of your system.

ANTHONY 42:19

I'm gonna say it was my face.

SPEAKER_03 42:21

Okay. Wow. Canceled.

ANTHONY 42:32

Cancelled. Congratulations. If that's what turned you off, you should be more mad at the fact where we're at in society.

SPEAKER_03 42:40

Yeah. We should do that as an episode, like of just shit that we want to rant about. Maybe future episode. I mean, that's every episode.

ANTHONY 42:51

That would be my dream episode. Just me on my soapbox telling people how it is.

SPEAKER_04 42:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:58

We definitely we're either gonna lose like all of our listeners, half of our listeners, but again, we are here to say if you don't like us, you can change the channel. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions. And if you don't agree that society is getting stupider, I'm sorry. You could cancel us. We weren't anything, anyways. I mean, it's not that we're not anything, anyways.

ANTHONY 43:25

We're slowly getting there, but the thing is, is that like we're slowly becoming the most stupidest.

SPEAKER_03 43:31

Yeah.

ANTHONY 43:33

Most stupidest. The most stupidest.

SPEAKER_03 43:36

Yeah, but back to what we're saying is that like, I don't know. Society, we could do better. Stop eating Tide Pods, stop procreating, stop opening your legs if, you know, if you put a fucking forth in the microwave. Oh, is that even a thing?

unknown 44:00

Sorry.

ANTHONY 44:01

It used to be. That was the thing after the Tide Pod challenge. People were like snorting condoms to pull it out of their mouth.

NALEE 44:09

Why? Girl, exactly. Exactly. Why?

SPEAKER_02 44:17

Why?

SPEAKER_03 44:19

Okay, I did not, I can't see you again. So when you hit the table, I thought that you like fell out of your chair.

ANTHONY 44:28

I'm like, oh no, I'm so frustrated with the fact that society is so fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_03 44:35

Yeah.

ANTHONY 44:36

Not everybody is stupid.

SPEAKER_03 44:37

This is now the rant podcast, guys. We are not doing anything about New Year's Eve related stuff or New Year's related stuff. This is now a rant podcast.

ANTHONY 44:48

A rant podcast of all the stupid shit that happened in 2025 because people could not possibly have an ounce of intelligence.

SPEAKER_03 44:58

I okay.

ANTHONY 44:59

Well, let's move on from this.

SPEAKER_03 45:00

Yeah.

ANTHONY 45:00

We'll move on to my last one, and then we can move on to our next segment because we're 45 minutes in.

SPEAKER_03 45:07

We will for sure do your dream episode. Okay, how about that? I'll give you that.

ANTHONY 45:12

Yes, please.

SPEAKER_03 45:13

Okay.

Segment Two: Resolutions Roast Game

ANTHONY 45:14

Yeah. Audience, Nolly is in charge of this the episodes this year, so we have to make sure that that gets worked in. Yes. Okay, my last thing that I want to touch base on that for this game is celebs setting strict interview boundaries. And what I mean by this, for example, I saw a interview. Well, not an interview, but like I saw Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things on the red carpet the other day.

SPEAKER_04 45:42

Okay.

ANTHONY 45:43

And she was posing and she was doing her thing, and one of the paparazzi's yelled at her, smile.

SPEAKER_04 45:50

Yeah.

ANTHONY 45:51

And she got all pissed off and she was like, you smile.

SPEAKER_04 45:54

Yeah.

ANTHONY 45:56

I was living for it. Good for her. Don't fucking tell a woman or anybody to smile to begin with.

SPEAKER_04 46:03

Okay, well, that's what I'm saying.

ANTHONY 46:04

You're lucky that you're even you even have the opportunity to be there covering the red carpet.

SPEAKER_03 46:10

Yeah. I'm if I would be honest, I did not think that you would have like been okay with that. I thought you were gonna say something about like damn, like chill. But I'm glad that you said it the way you said it. I'm glad that you like decide that you're agreeing with. Yes, I agree. Just because your job is to be a paparazzi and you know it's social media and stuff doesn't mean that whoever you're talking to has to abide to what you want. You know, like what if she was having a fucking bad day? What if one of the people that she loved just passed away and she wasn't feeling like smiling? Like, why are you demanding people to do whatever you want them to do just because that's your job, you know?

Anthony’s Real, Ridiculous, Impossible

ANTHONY 46:57

If even like all of that aside, like whether or not she was having a bad day, whether or not somebody, you know, her grandma just passed away, or you know, whatever, yeah, regardless, your your job is to get a picture.

SPEAKER_04 47:12

Yeah.

ANTHONY 47:13

Her job is to be on that red carpet and provide the opportunity for you to get a good picture. If you, as a paparazzi, cannot get a good photograph without tapping her how to pose or what to do, that's on you. Yeah, she's out there doing her job. And I think that more celebrities need to do that as far as when the paparazzi is there to photograph you, your job is your job as the celebrity is to just be there. Their job is to capture what they want to capture. Again, it's not curated. You're there to take the shot to get the picture. That's on you as a paparazzi. That's your job. If you wanted to be a photographer and tell people how to pose, go fucking get a job at Sears. Or JC Penny. Or JC Penny, yeah.

NALEE 48:13

Yeah. Okay. Well, are we?

ANTHONY 48:17

That's what I have.

SPEAKER_03 48:18

Okay. Well, yeah. I I am in agreement to that. I would say again, you bring up a very good point. A pro a paparazzi job is to take pictures, and if you can't capture it correctly, you know, it's you need to find a different job.

NALEE 48:39

Like, yeah. That's on you. That's on you, boo.

SPEAKER_03 48:45

All right. Well, now that we've dumped the garbage, let's aim slightly higher for 2026.

ANTHONY 48:51

Or can we at least look like we're trying to aim slightly higher?

SPEAKER_03 48:58

All right. Our second segment is about resolution roast, making fun of resolutions while setting up playful goats. Again, we're gonna talk about resolutions, but of course with maximum sass.

ANTHONY 49:13

Because if we can't fail spectacularly, what the fuck is the point?

NALEE 49:21

Anthony?

ANTHONY 49:28

You want me to introduce this game?

SPEAKER_02 49:30

Yeah, you can introduce this game. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 49:32

It's so weird that I can't see what I'm looking at because I can't even concentrate on where the camera's at because I can't see you. So it feels so weird. And I'm sorry if my face looks weird and I'm looking wherever. It's because it's weird.

ANTHONY 49:48

Honey, your face looks beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 49:50

Thank you. No, I'm just trying to see. Thank you. But no, I'm just I'm just laughing because I want to see your reaction so bad, but I can't. So that's why I'm kind of like waiting for you.

ANTHONY 50:05

But you're gonna have to see it and play back.

SPEAKER_03 50:07

Yeah, I'm gonna have to. Okay, but yes, you could introduce this game. Saw you, boo.

ANTHONY 50:13

All right, so our next game, it's gonna be really short and sweet for segment two. We're gonna play a game called the Real, Ridiculous, and Impossible. Each of us are gonna give three New Year's resolutions for 2026. One realistic, one a little bit ridiculous, and one totally impossible. And the other is gonna guess which is which, and then we're gonna roast each other.

NALEE 50:38

Oh wow.

ANTHONY 50:39

So Okay. Yeah. Nolly, would you like me to go first?

NALEE 50:44

Yeah, you go first.

ANTHONY 50:47

Okay. So I will give you my resolutions in no particular order.

NALEE 50:55

Okay.

ANTHONY 50:57

So the first one is I plan to not spiral after a single mildly bad interaction and not overthink the context of any conversation that I've had.

SPEAKER_04 51:12

Okay.

ANTHONY 51:13

The second is I'm gonna keep my phone screen time under two hours and turn off all unnecessary notifications.

NALEE 51:22

Okay.

ANTHONY 51:24

And the last one is I'm gonna say no without explaining myself.

SPEAKER_03 51:31

Okay.

Nally’s Goals And Mutual Roasting

ANTHONY 51:33

So now I want you to identify which of those three resolutions are my realistic resolution, my ridiculous resolution, my totally impossible resolution, and then feel free to roast me to fill filth.

SPEAKER_03 51:49

All right, to filth. Okay. Well, I would say your realistic one would be keeping your phone screen time under two hours and turning off all unnecessary notifications. Is that correct? Or do you want me to say it all first? Oh, okay, I already got it wrong.

ANTHONY 52:09

Say all three of them. Yeah. Say all three of them.

SPEAKER_03 52:12

Okay, well, at this point, I already got the realistic wrong. So the ridiculous one would be saying no without explaining yourself. And then the totally impossible would be not spiraling after one mildly bad interaction and not overthink context of conversations. So clearly you got one wrong already. Or maybe two. But okay, you could tell me which is which. Did I? Fuck.

ANTHONY 52:40

So my re my realistic resolution is that I'm gonna say no without explaining myself.

SPEAKER_03 52:45

Oh, okay. I'm not judging you here.

ANTHONY 52:49

I feel like. And if you are, that's fine. It is what it is.

SPEAKER_03 52:54

I'm not, I'm not. Okay.

ANTHONY 52:56

But I feel like the last like month or two, I've really gotten in the habit of being like, no.

SPEAKER_04 53:03

Okay. So no is your new favorite.

ANTHONY 53:06

That's it, right? Like Elizabeth, like, like Elizabeth Olson says, no is a complete sentence.

NALEE 53:12

Yes, I love that.

ANTHONY 53:15

Yeah. So that's my realistic goal. My ridiculous resolution is that I'm gonna keep my phone screen time under two hours and turn off all unnecessary notifications.

SPEAKER_03 53:29

Mm. Okay. I kind of think that could be a realistic goal. Yeah, I kind of feel like you that could be.

ANTHONY 53:35

I feel like that would be realistic.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

Yeah.

ANTHONY 53:39

Yeah. So I definitely need to go through my settings on my phone, and I'm in a I get so many notifications from so many different things, and like apps that I don't even use, I should probably delete.

SPEAKER_04 53:50

Yeah.

ANTHONY 53:51

And then my totally impossible resolution is not spiral after one mildly bad interaction and not overthink the context of conversations. Because you know me, I'm an overthinker, and I can't just like turn my brain off.

NALEE 54:07

So technically, I did get one right. I did get one right. I got the last one right.

SPEAKER_03 54:15

Okay, I think I did get one of them right. The totally impossible. I did say that not spiraling after one mildly bad interaction. Or did I get it wrong? I don't even know what it is.

ANTHONY 54:26

You did say that, yes.

SPEAKER_03 54:27

I did, right?

ANTHONY 54:29

No, I think you got that right.

SPEAKER_03 54:30

Yeah, I did.

NALEE 54:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 54:33

See, I know you better than I know myself. Well, the reason why I yeah, the reason why I said that's totally impossible was because, bitch, you just you just wanted to do you said your dream episode or your dream podcast would be to rant. And obviously you have an opinion about everything. So you obviously are not gonna not spiral.

ANTHONY 54:57

No doesn't.

SPEAKER_03 54:59

But I kind of like the the your your realistic resolution though for yourself is saying no without explaining yourself because like you said, no is a complete sentence. I have no roasts here because I know that you the classy hoe. And I know that you're very you're a person with really you do things with intention. So I don't think I have anything to roast here. But I feel like you might roast me about my ghost.

ANTHONY 55:33

Let me brace myself.

Rapid-Fire Predictions Ping-Pong

NALEE 55:35

Yes, okay. So yeah. Okay. I'm gonna think about it for two seconds really quick.

SPEAKER_03 55:46

I came up with it, but I completely forgot about it.

ANTHONY 55:50

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

SPEAKER_03 55:53

Yeah, it is. Actually, you are right. Okay.

ANTHONY 55:56

I know. I know.

SPEAKER_03 55:58

So one goal and I'm not saying it in any particular order, like you said, just so that you know to Yeah, you know that it's not like in order. So I want to save money.

NALEE 56:16

I want to go to the gym four times a week.

SPEAKER_03 56:24

And I want to travel at least three times a year.

ANTHONY 56:31

Three times a year?

SPEAKER_03 56:33

Yeah.

ANTHONY 56:34

Damn, what your job got you on salary now or what? Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 56:39

Credit card, baby.

ANTHONY 56:41

Credit card, baby. Oh god. Well, that kind of negates your first one that you said.

NALEE 56:48

I don't know. Okay, I am probably gonna roast you, you're right. Okay. Yeah, I know, I know. Shocker.

ANTHONY 57:00

Okay, so I think that you're I think you're traveling, vacationing three times a year is your ridiculous resolution.

NALEE 57:15

Okay. I think that you're thinking. I think you're saving money this year.

ANTHONY 57:35

And I say this with love because I know you. I think that that's I think that that's your totally impossible resolution.

NALEE 57:43

Wow, okay.

ANTHONY 57:45

And I think you're going to the gym four times a week is your realistic resolution.

NALEE 57:52

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 57:54

You don't know me at all.

SPEAKER_02 57:57

What?

SPEAKER_03 57:58

Okay, well, you did get the realistic one, right? Yes, I tried, I want to at least go to the gym at least four times a year. Four times a year.

ANTHONY 58:07

Four times a year. Yeah, me too, bitch. I will go to the gym four times a year every year for the rest of my life.

SPEAKER_03 58:14

I meant four times a week. Holy shit. Yes, but you got the other two flipped around. So my ridiculous resolution would be to save money. But I think overall they all are pretty, they are my overall goal. Like I do want to eventually do all three, but clearly it's not gonna happen in one year. Or maybe it can, because look what happened to 2025. Everything can come bling down. So I don't fucking know. But realistically would be going to the gym four times a week. Ridiculous would be saving money. And then three, which is totally impossible, is taking three trips a year. Yeah, mama ain't all that salary. I ain't about to rack up no credit card bills. But if we win the lottery, I can make it happen. So go on and roast me.

ANTHONY 59:10

Okay, so I'm gonna roast you. I do think that you going to the gym four times a week is realistic, only because it seems like you've been doing a really good job with going to the gym.

SPEAKER_03 59:21

Thank you. Yeah, I have actually.

ANTHONY 59:25

Well, even like since we started this podcast, you you've been going to the gym and like being consistent.

NALEE 59:32

Yeah.

ANTHONY 59:36

I don't know that your whole traveling three times a year is that too far-fetched because I don't know how to do it.

SPEAKER_03 59:50

I think I did that last year, actually.

ANTHONY 59:52

Yeah, I don't well, I don't know how you do it, but it seems like if you're if you're determined and you're like, I'm going to New York next weekend.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:02

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:00:03

Which you're going to New York next weekend. I don't know how much you do it. But I'm not sure.

NALEE 1:00:07

Catching in flights, baby. Not feelings. And I think realistically you can save if you put enough pressure on yourself and enough diligence and perseverance to do that.

ANTHONY 1:00:27

I think that that's completely feasible. And one thing that I wanted to correct you on, so I'm not going to roast you too bad. One thing I wanted to correct you on was I think you meant when we win the lottery. Not if we win the lottery, but when we win the lottery.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:47

Okay, well, I will say Yeah, you are right. Okay. When we win the lottery, it will be possible.

ANTHONY 1:00:59

Period.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:00

Okay, I kind of like that game. That was kind of a cute game.

ANTHONY 1:01:02

That was a cute game.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:03

It's kinda like it's kind of like two truths and a lie, but it's Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:01:08

We're lying about what we hope to achieve in twenty twenty six.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:14

I said it's like, but it's not exactly the same. No, you're but okay. I kind of like that your resolutions for you though. I thank you, I

ANTHONY 1:01:25

I like your concept of traveling, which by the way, I sent you that cruise. I've already planned and booked a cruise for 2028.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:36

Done.

ANTHONY 1:01:37

I want you in on it.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:39

I'll let you know, Boo. I could be busy.

ANTHONY 1:01:43

In 2028, you got plans already?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:46

Yeah, I could be busy.

ANTHONY 1:01:48

You just don't want to travel with me. Why are you so scared of that?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:51

I do want to travel with you. It's just, it's really hard right now, you know? I gotta save. I gotta get my resolutions lined up. 2028 is two years away. It is two years away. Hold on, hold on. Can you just can you just think about what you just said? 2028 is only two years away. Is that not fucking crazy?

ANTHONY 1:02:16

I mean, that is crazy, but it's also crazy that it's like it's 2026. I can't. I blinked and 2025 was over.

Side Tangents: Ratchet, Baths, And Chaos

SPEAKER_03 1:02:27

Nah, bitch. I was tumbling down the stairs in 2025. Slow motion. So it's I can't believe it's 2026, you guys. That is crazy. I can't believe it.

ANTHONY 1:02:43

It is crazy. It's crazy to think about. Yeah. But yeah. Anyway, if 2026 is anything like this, we're doomed. But I hope not.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:59

But it'd be highly entertaining.

ANTHONY 1:03:01

So it's well, anything with us is highly entertaining.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:05

Period. All right. Well, it's time for another game. Time for rapid fire predictions, fast answers, and just letting the faces do the talking. So this is ping-pong future predictions. Again, just quick fire laughs, a little bit of chaos. Y'all know what we gone zoo. Okay. So again, I'm just gonna preface it again. We're just gonna ask a question and we're gonna get a quick answer. So Anthony, we're gonna kind of do like back and forth things. So he asks a question, I'll answer, and then he'll ask, and then I'll ask a question, and then he'll answer. Does that sound okay?

ANTHONY 1:03:47

Sounds good to me.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:48

Okay, first question. Who will break the first? Oops, I fucked up already. Who will break a resolution first?

ANTHONY 1:03:55

Me.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:56

Yeah, I was gonna say you.

ANTHONY 1:03:58

Wow, thanks. That's okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:00

We like rule breakers.

ANTHONY 1:04:02

I don't have any follow-through. When I give bad thoughts, high hopes and high plans. And then when push comes to shove, I'm like, fuck this. Like, oh, I'm gonna eat healthier. And then I'm like, oh, culverse sounds really fucking good.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:15

Culver's actually sounds really good, like right now. I know.

ANTHONY 1:04:20

I know.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:21

Looks like I'm gonna be taking a winter snowstorm mission.

ANTHONY 1:04:26

Oh god. Oh god. Nolly, that's you.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:30

Yeah, that's me.

ANTHONY 1:04:32

Okay, my turn. Who will claim they're protecting their peace while absolutely not doing that?

NALEE 1:04:43

You me? Yeah, I would say you.

ANTHONY 1:04:48

Yeah, probably. You're probably right. God, I'm just being I'm proven to be a whole failure all around, aren't I?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:55

You are not. You could do that in 2028. That's okay.

NALEE 1:05:01

Two years from now.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:03

Two whole years. Okay. Who binge watches the weirdest series? Or who will binge watch the weirdest series?

ANTHONY 1:05:12

Nolly.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:13

Yeah, probably me. I do watch weird shit. This is totally side tangent, but have you seen Ratchet?

NALEE 1:05:22

Yeah, it was Sarah Paulson.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:23

Sarah Paulson? Yeah. I just saw it this, I just like binged it this past weekend. And funny thought that just came up to my head. You said that you like taking like really hot baths. It just reminded me the scene where the guy was put in that like steaming tub.

ANTHONY 1:05:39

In that tub?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:40

Yeah. Yes.

ANTHONY 1:05:43

Yeah. I would love that.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:46

I bet you would.

ANTHONY 1:05:47

Give me a hot bath, steaming, boil me. Cook me like a chicken. Like.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:54

Let me walk you up.

ANTHONY 1:05:57

I don't know about that. I'd rather be boiled.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:01

You'd rather be boiled?

ANTHONY 1:06:03

I'd rather be boiled.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:04

Ew, that's so nasty. Well, like the makeup effects of his body and stuff was pretty realistic. It looked pretty interesting.

ANTHONY 1:06:12

That show was actually pretty good, but I didn't like the ending. Ryan Murphy, he's done. I'm sorry. Hollywood, can we please stop?

New Year Time Capsule: Leave And Predict

NALEE 1:06:26

Okay, what's your next question? Okay, my next question. Where do I want to go with this?

ANTHONY 1:06:40

Who will swear they're done with the chaos and then choose chaos anyway?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:47

Me.

ANTHONY 1:06:48

You think so?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:49

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:06:50

Oh, I don't know about that. I feel like we're both in the we we both will.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:55

You think so?

ANTHONY 1:06:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:59

Yeah, okay, yeah. I agree. We'd be like, yeah, we're not doing that again. Two seconds later. Hey, guess what? Guess what I need. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:09

Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I think that's both of us. I mean, well, duh, I am the chaos. What is it?

ANTHONY 1:07:19

Chaos Queen?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:20

Yeah, I'm like, no, uh, chaos coordinator. So, yeah. Okay. My next question is. This is kind of funny. Who will start a journal in January and forget it exists by February?

ANTHONY 1:07:37

May.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:38

Yeah, I was gonna say you. You and your calendar.

ANTHONY 1:07:42

I've literally tried that every single year for like the last decade. And like, I will get like two weeks in, and then I'm like, I can't do this anymore.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:51

You know the thing about journals and stuff? Like, if you end up becoming like a serial killer, you could so easily get locked up because they could read through all your journals and be like, oh yeah, this is where you went wrong, or this is where things went wrong, and it'll be evidence they could use against you.

ANTHONY 1:08:08

That took a dark ass turn.

NALEE 1:09:09

Well, it's me. You guys thought it's me. It's me. It's just Mario or Mario. But yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:18

Okay. That's all I have to say about that. That did go really dark, though.

ANTHONY 1:09:23

That did get really dark. I don't know where the whole serial killer thing came from, this true crime podcast, but I don't know.

NALEE 1:09:32

But you're not okay.

ANTHONY 1:09:34

Who will say I'm being intentional this year with zero follow-through?

NALEE 1:09:39

Probably me. What do you think?

ANTHONY 1:09:45

I agree with you on that.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:47

Yeah. I would really like for 2026 to be intentional, but at this point, I hope 2025 doesn't rub into 2026.

ANTHONY 1:09:58

Oh god, please, no. Don't. It's not going to. 2026 is gonna be our year.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:04

You're right.

ANTHONY 1:10:04

But I feel like I'm always like trying to be intentional.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:09

Yeah, I could see that. I could see.

ANTHONY 1:10:11

Like I said, I feel like you're pretty intentional. Yeah. There's always a rhyme and a reason to, you know, things that I do or things that I say. For the most part, Richard might say otherwise.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:28

Well, it's probably because of Richard. That's why you're doing something else.

NALEE 1:10:33

That's why I'm doing something else? Yeah. I won't tell him you said that. I still love you, Richard. Or it's a heart.

ANTHONY 1:10:47

I know.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:49

Oh. Wait, I have another one. Just kidding. That was so lame. That was so lame.

NALEE 1:10:56

Lame.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:58

Yeah, okay. Anyways. I feel so cringy of myself. That was so cringy.

ANTHONY 1:11:05

I feel cringy of you.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:08

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:09

Okay. Okay. Who will declare something is not their vibe after one inconvenience?

ANTHONY 1:11:18

Me.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:19

Yep, I was gonna say you. That's gotten you written all over it.

ANTHONY 1:11:23

Yep. Yep. This is an inconvenience to my life, so it's not working for me. It's a no for me.

NALEE 1:11:30

Yep.

ANTHONY 1:11:31

Yeah.

NALEE 1:11:32

I could totally see that.

unknown 1:11:36

Okay.

NALEE 1:11:37

What's your last one?

ANTHONY 1:11:39

My last one is who will convince themselves they've had personal growth without any evidence.

NALEE 1:11:48

You. Really? No?

SPEAKER_02 1:11:54

Bitch, I feel personally attacked.

ANTHONY 1:11:58

I feel like that's both of us. I feel like that would be both that would apply to both of us.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:02

Actually, I like. No, I don't think that'll be any of us. No, I feel like, well, if this year had taught us anything, we've had so much growth. And we have evidence to back us up. And who's to say 2026 isn't the year where we continue to grow? Where we continue to get abundance, where we continue to win the lottery for the once of our lifetime. You know, like who's to say 2026 isn't the year?

ANTHONY 1:12:34

2026 is going to be our year. This is where we're going to flourish.

Amazon Habits, Judgment Detox, And Grace

SPEAKER_03 1:12:37

Exactly. So yeah, I'm going to manifest that that's not us. I'm going to manifest that we're just going to continue growing and thriving.

ANTHONY 1:12:45

And I'm just going to throw shaded eyes to all those who are doubting us.

NALEE 1:12:55

Who's doubting us?

ANTHONY 1:12:58

I'm not going to mention any names, but I'm going to say somebody's in here peeling carrots right now. Oh. You can't see me, but I'm looking.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:06

It's Duffy, isn't it?

ANTHONY 1:13:07

It's Duffy, that little fucker.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:09

He's peeling carrots.

ANTHONY 1:13:12

Peeling carrots and saying y'all, y'all gonna fail. Well, you see, when I fail, you ain't gonna be getting no food. Enjoy those table scraps, boy.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:21

He don't he ain't gonna be enjoying it once I walk him up. So it's a shit.

ANTHONY 1:13:27

I'll help you walk him up.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:29

By the way. Yeah. By the way, if you don't understand by us saying walk, I don't mean like literally walking the dog. We're talking about W-O-K. Like, you know, the walk.

ANTHONY 1:13:40

By we, she means her. I'm disagreeing with it.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:43

Not uh, you may have that. I'm not about getting canceled for this.

ANTHONY 1:13:47

I'm not getting canceled because you're talking about wanting to eat my dog.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:50

No, I did not start that. Anthony did. First of all, he asked if I know what dog tastes like because I'm Asian. Yep, we're gonna bring this up now. We're gonna leave this or lead on the body.

ANTHONY 1:14:04

I did not.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:06

You are laughing so hard because you know it's true. Anyways, he had said, had asked me, we're gonna, we're gonna clear out this issue right now.

ANTHONY 1:14:17

From 2029, 2019.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:20

From the moment he met me. I know he was thinking that he just didn't want to say it. But he had asked me if I have ever tried dog, and I said, what do I look like? A fucking like, I don't know, a dog eater. And clearly it's because you know, I'm I'm Asian. This isn't a race thing, clearly, but we are canceled.

ANTHONY 1:14:41

We are officially done. You are mind sealed and delivered our death warrant.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:45

Hey, you know what? If Tommy Lee. If Tom Lee could go on a show, which their podcast is great at, by the way. I forgot what their podcast is called. Who?

ANTHONY 1:14:56

Tommy Lee?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:56

Yeah.

NALEE 1:14:57

Like Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee? No. Tommy Lee, the comedian.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:05

He's oh my god, not Tom Lee. Bobby Lee. Sorry, that's my phone. You know what I mean? Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:15:13

Bitch can't even get a fucking name right. Oh my god. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:19

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, so if Bobby Lee can can go on his podcast with what's his name? I think Andrew Senno. Their podcast is called Bad Friends. Oh my God. Love, love, love, love, love that podcast. But this could be a shout out to them too. But, anyways, yeah, like I love their podcast, but there's an episode where they're talking about eating dogs. And this is totally side tangent. But Tom, I can't even talk right now. Andrew goes, have you ever tasted dog? And then Bobby Lee goes, No. And then he goes, Have you ever tasted dogs? And then he goes, Yeah, they're pretty good. It's just repressed. But but I'm saying if they can do it and not be canceled, we're fine. Anyways, the joke was.

ANTHONY 1:16:14

Oh my fucking God.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:15

The joke was, or I I thought it was a joke, but Anthony had asked me if I have ever tasted dog, and I said no. And he's like, well, you know, I thought like Asian people eat dogs. And I'm like, well, not everybody eats dogs. And so then he came up with this joke that every time I see Duffy, like, am I hungry? Or does he look, is he juicy enough for me to cook or whatever? And so then we came up with this joke. He came up with this joke saying that, oh yeah, you're gonna walk Duffy up. And I didn't understand it because I thought he meant like walk, like W-A-L-K, like walking the dog. But what he meant was like walking the dog like in a pan and eating cancel.

ANTHONY 1:17:00

My y'all.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:02

Canceled! But um yeah.

ANTHONY 1:17:04

Canceled.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:05

Y'all thought I was y'all thought I was.

ANTHONY 1:17:07

I just want to say now I kind of use that as a threat to Duffy when he's annoying me. I'm like, Nolly's gonna walk you.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:13

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:17:13

So if we get excited because he thinks he me, he thinks I mean W-A-L-K.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:19

Yeah. So, see? I'm not the evil one here. Oh my god.

NALEE 1:17:25

I'm the mastermind.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:27

Yeah. But anyway, now that I have what is it? Now that I have laundered Anthony's dirty laundry. Is it laundered? What's that phrase? Did I say it right? Cleared out Anthony's dirty laundry.

ANTHONY 1:17:51

Now that we're, I'm gonna start getting hate mail from all of the Asian community listeners we have.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:57

No, you guys, it's okay. He's fine. He's he's tried dog too, so that's why he has Duffy for backup when he gets really.

ANTHONY 1:18:07

I've been with a dog or two, so yeah. See? Yes, technically I have tried dog.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:12

See, Anthony is Anthony's Hung. He's Hmong, you guys. It's okay. He's art agent.

ANTHONY 1:18:19

Nolly, vouch for me. I'm you said I'm an honorary Hmong.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:22

Yes, he could eat spicy food.

ANTHONY 1:18:25

So uh Although that pasta you gave me, it was though it was really good. After I ate it, my stomach was fucked.

Cooking At Home, Convenience, And Planning

SPEAKER_03 1:18:34

I told you, I told you. This is a put you on to like if you guys have never tried Red Kitchen in Minnesota, they have the best and the spiciest chili oil. And I had cooked some like bacon pasta and I put it the chili oil in the pasta. So that's what we're referring to. But yeah, if Anthony could eat that chili oil, because I even even I like it's really spicy for me. He is an honorary mom. So let's not send him any hate meal, meal, any hate meal.

ANTHONY 1:19:43

It was so good, but I'm just gonna say, like I said, it fucked up my stomach. And okay, I'm I'm going full in here. I've already told you all my shit stories.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:54

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:19:56

I was on the toilet, and I don't think my stomach knew whether to cramp, spasm, or force exit of that pasta. But I was like, I didn't, I was churning. I was like sitting there. I was like stewy and family guys walking back and forth on the toilet.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:20

You were like white chicks in the bathroom. We're like, oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

ANTHONY 1:20:29

Yeah. I didn't have balls, so I'm glad you liked it.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:33

Yeah, it's really spicy. Like that chili oil, it does the same thing to me. It's a good thing I didn't put like real milk because I use like the lactate milk, but oh that it would have yeah. We're just gonna leave it at that. Yeah, we'll just all right.

ANTHONY 1:20:55

Well, I'm just gonna say that that said everything about you and a lot about me.

NALEE 1:21:00

And yes. Did you want to continue? Was that it?

ANTHONY 1:21:09

Yeah, that was none of it was very flattering. Um let's let's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:14

We're next segment, please. Okay, well, now that we've gotten all that shit out of the way, uh segment four is New Year's time capsule. It's kind of a mix of reflection, prediction, roasts, and visual chaos. Um, except instead of burying it, we're roasting it again and predicting disasters.

ANTHONY 1:21:44

Basically, we're gonna be recording our future shame for maximum entertainment.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:50

Welcome, 2026. Okay.

ANTHONY 1:21:54

Welcome, 2026. Nally, you want to let our listeners know how this works?

SPEAKER_03 1:21:59

Sure. So, what we're gonna do is both me and Anthony, we're gonna say something from 2025 that we're leaving behind. It could be a habit, a trend, or personal fails that we have many of. Then we're gonna predict what will happen in 2026 that is related to that either chaotic, ridiculous, or over-the-top opinions that we have on it. And then the other host, they will roast a prediction and maybe even add a worse scenario. So Go on. So for example, I'm gonna leave behind my Amazon shopping addiction.

NALEE 1:22:45

Bullshit. Actually, I've been really, really good. So have you though?

SPEAKER_03 1:22:55

Fuck you. Um, I have. Yeah. I think the the last time I ordered anything, because I think I told you, but I just bought an iPad for myself. That's the first thing I've bought in like Yeah, that's the first thing that I bought in like months.

ANTHONY 1:23:10

So really?

SPEAKER_03 1:23:11

Yeah. See, I think it's a good thing.

ANTHONY 1:23:14

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is that the first thing that you've bought in months that was like a high cost item? No. Or literally the first thing you've bought for yourself in months.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:24

Yeah, literally the first thing I bought in months. The last thing I bought was probably, let me pull up my Amazon right now, just so that I can rub it in your face. Okay. Oh shit the last thing.

ANTHONY 1:23:35

Petty as fuck.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:36

Yeah. Hello, Nolly Bitch Her. Yeah, the last thing I bought was in, it says here, July.

NALEE 1:23:47

What? From Amazon? Yeah. July 18th, it says here. Okay. I clearly have some issues then.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:58

Oh, laterally. But we'll talk about that in another episode. Okay, what about you? What are you leaving behind?

ANTHONY 1:24:06

Oh, what am I gonna leave behind in 2025?

NALEE 1:24:10

Wait, I also forgot. Do you have a prediction that is related to I have a prediction that you are going to.

ANTHONY 1:24:25

I mean, if you seriously haven't bought anything from Amazon since July, I think that if anything, your shopping is gonna be a little bit more responsible, tamed, and I think you're gonna succeed at that. If that's if that honestly is the case. Just because I know everything that you're going through and all of the changes that we're dealing with for 2026, I think that you're going to be prior, your priorities are gonna shift for 2026.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:01

You sound just like my tarot card reading app. Which is a good thing.

ANTHONY 1:25:08

Which is a good thing. Anthony's always right.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:11

Bye.

ANTHONY 1:25:12

Everything I'm saying to you aligns with what the universe is saying to you.

Presence Over Hustle In 2026

SPEAKER_03 1:25:16

Wow. Contradiction for that little like comment of you being right is that this year I'm gonna prove you right more than you're gonna prove me right.

ANTHONY 1:25:27

I think it's more important for you to prove yourself right than to prove me right.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:31

No, I want to prove you right. Because I know I know what my potential is. So I would I would rather prove you right. Thank you.

NALEE 1:25:42

You're welcome. Okay, what is your video? What is yours? What am I gonna leave behind in 2025?

ANTHONY 1:25:58

You're really gonna roast me on this because I'm gonna say this, and I'm not even fully sure that I will be able to leave this behind. Okay. But I'm really going to work on leaving behind my habit of porn?

NALEE 1:26:21

Yes. Or corn? Just kidding. Uh-huh. No, porn. Wait, are you for real? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:30

I can't tell if you're lying or not.

ANTHONY 1:26:33

I'm totally fucking lying. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:37

Stupid. I was like, wait, whoa. We're talking about this right now? Right now, are you?

ANTHONY 1:26:42

Oh my god, it's all day, every day. I'm like, I'm I'm rubbing one out right now.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:46

I cannot leave, leave it be. Okay. It must be real fucking floor.

ANTHONY 1:26:55

Okay. You gotta do what you gotta do. I got spit.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:59

Yeah. That's so gross. You have Richard for leaving. Why are you doing it yourself? The hello.

ANTHONY 1:27:09

Well played.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:10

Okay, sorry. Let's go back to reality.

ANTHONY 1:27:13

No, I think I'm gonna work really hard to leave behind, and I think I've had this conversation with you before on the pod, I'm gonna work hard to leave behind my habit of automatically judging people. But there is a caveat because there always has to be a caveat with me. My caveat is if you or if somebody is giving me the green light for them to be judged, it is fair fucking game.

NALEE 1:27:54

It is fair game.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:58

But that comes to say, why do you need my permission in order for you to give them a roast? Why don't you just not give them a roast?

NALEE 1:28:08

But some people deserve a roast. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:13

Well, I call I feel like you'll be able to do that. The only thing is knowing me, because I am an instigator, I'm gonna want you to roast everything and everyone.

ANTHONY 1:28:30

You are an instigator, you are a potster.

Year Of The Snake To Year Of The Horse

SPEAKER_03 1:28:34

So, but but I don't know. We don't have that much drama in our life. I feel like we don't have. I feel like because I am an instigator and I like to eat popcorn and watch drama unfold. I feel like I'd probably give you permission to roast anybody and everybody. Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:28:57

And I don't think that I'll have a problem roasting people when they have it coming. But I think that I'm gonna work really diligently and really hard to not roast or judge people unnecessarily.

NALEE 1:29:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:13

Well, my prediction to that then is I think you'll be able to do that. I think I think with everything that we've gone through, like, or you've gone through, I think maybe you'll be able to kind of feel a little bit more at ease and not put yourself in predicaments where you need to necessarily worry about people, if you know what I mean.

ANTHONY 1:29:39

I hope so.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:40

Or feel the same.

ANTHONY 1:29:41

I would like to be able to do that.

NALEE 1:29:43

Yeah, that's my prediction. So I'm hoping that you could get there. We're gonna do that. 2026. Okay.

ANTHONY 1:29:52

This is our year.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:53

Yes, this is our year. Okay, so we'll have one more prediction for each of us, and then we'll go on to the next segment here. So uh I am leaving behind trying not to eat out so much.

NALEE 1:30:11

Why? My resolution to save money. I'd rather just cook stuff at all. You know?

ANTHONY 1:30:25

That's fair. I could teach you how to do that, because you know I do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:29

Yeah, you do cook really good. The only thing is it's not that I don't like what you cook. It's just because I'm Hmong, I like traditional Hmong food. You know what I mean? So I need to learn to cook more like traditional Hung Foods.

NALEE 1:30:49

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:30:51

Okay, that's a hundred fair. I'm not like I'm not even 100% fair. I'm not even gonna take like offense to you saying that, well, it's not that I don't like what you cook.

NALEE 1:31:03

That's a good one. I I I think that you are not gonna have any problem with that, with the exception of you.

ANTHONY 1:31:21

I feel like you're a person who's really big on convenience. And it can be to have to Yeah. Like I feel like when you're hungry, like you're hungry, and it you're gonna be like, it's just so much easier if I just go down to Pad Thai, her tie orchid, pick up my food.

NALEE 1:31:46

Yeah. That's interesting you say that.

ANTHONY 1:31:51

Versus being like, okay, I'm gonna prep this meat. Because what? Can you see me now? I can see that beautiful face.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:02

Thank you. You're so naive.

ANTHONY 1:32:05

I know. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:07

Okay. You're welcome. You're welcome.

NALEE 1:32:10

Okay, so where were we at? Do you remember what we're doing?

ANTHONY 1:32:16

I don't even remember at this point.

NALEE 1:32:18

Okay. But we were talking about saving money.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:23

Yeah, we were talking about prediction about me being able to save money, right?

NALEE 1:32:37

Yes. Okay. No. Yes. Okay. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:48

That was nuts this.

ANTHONY 1:32:50

No, we weren't. We were talking about you cooking meals at home.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:54

Ah, that's right. Sorry. Yeah, well, I uh I have been trying to get into the habit of cooking at home. So and meal prepping is what we were talking about. But yeah. I'm hoping to save more money but not eating out all the time. And you were talking about how I like convenience, right?

Bucket List Or Bust: Travel And Health

ANTHONY 1:33:17

Yeah, I think it's I think ye, and I I mean this with the utmost respect, but I think because I'm like this from time to time as well. And I used to be more like this prior to making my meals at home. But I think in today's society, we're just so wrapped up in what is convenient for us. And let's be honest, it's not convenient to, you know, wake up early, work an eight, nine-hour shift, 10-hour shift, come home, have to prep the meat, prep the veggies, prep our meal, get it cooking, and then make a full-on meal for ourselves where it's just so much easier to be like DoorDash, Thai orchid, orange chicken. It'll be here in 35, 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:11

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:34:12

You know.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:14

Okay. Well, I do believe that I think some nights are easier and more convenient, but I'm really hoping that I get into the habit of cooking at home more so that I don't have to always eat out. But yes, you are correct. I am a person of convenience. So yeah.

ANTHONY 1:34:33

And I think a lot of people are. So you're not alone. My advice to you.

NALEE 1:34:40

Oh, we're getting advice now.

ANTHONY 1:34:42

I'm gonna give you advice. Okay. My advice would be don't go into it saying, I'm gonna make dinner seven nights a week. Like, start small. Be like, I'm gonna start out for the first month. I'm gonna make two meals from scratch a week.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:00

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:35:00

And then after that first month, increase it to three meals a week. And then like work your way up to five. And then I've told you, for me, I literally have a you have like a little calendar on your life. I have a little calendar magnet on my refrigerator that's Monday through Friday, Monday through Sunday.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:23

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:35:23

And I every Thursday I'll plan what I'm gonna eat every single day. And then that helps me with like grocery shopping. And then I stick to what's on that calendar unless it's you know just been a really shitty day. Like there were all those, those days in 2025 where it was like I drive up to Rochester or drive up to Bloomer, and I was in the hospital, and then I'd get home at like 7:30, 8 o'clock at night. And I'm like, I don't want to fucking cook now.

NALEE 1:35:57

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:35:58

So those were the only times that it was like, okay, now I need I'm going to Papa Murphy's and I'm gonna get myself a fucking pizza.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:07

Yeah. You know what's funny? I've never had a Papa Murphy's pizza before.

ANTHONY 1:36:12

Shut the front door.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:16

No, I I will not. Yeah, I've never had a Papa Murphy's pizza before.

ANTHONY 1:36:21

We're doing it. We're having a Papa Murphy's date.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:24

Oh, that's cute. Deal.

ANTHONY 1:36:25

Their pizzas are so good.

Dream Big: Switzerland And Goal Weight

NALEE 1:36:27

What's the difference between Papa Murphy's and all the other places? You know, that's I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:36:35

I don't even know how to like I for me, it just like doesn't even compare because it's like it's made fresh. I mean, I guess the difference is is like you get the raw pizza and you bring the raw pizza home and you have to bake it in your oven. So you bake it yourself.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:51

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:36:53

Versus Pizza Hut baking it and delivering you a hot baked pizza. And then by the time it gets to your house, it's probably not as hot as if it were just out of the oven.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:03

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:37:04

Oh, girl, now I'm thinking about Papa Murphy's.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:07

I know. I'm hungry.

ANTHONY 1:37:08

I'm getting all for clamped. Lord Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:14

Okay. Well, let's move on to your last leaving behind.

ANTHONY 1:37:22

My last leaving behind. I am going to leave behind. I don't have a lot to leave behind in 2025, but no, I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding. I think I'm gonna try and work on leaving behind my Excuse me.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:46

I'm not yawning because I'm bored. Oh, I'm sorry, listeners.

ANTHONY 1:37:50

Apparently I'm boring to Nolly over.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:52

You're not! You're not. It's just I'd had a long morning, that's all. Sorry, go ahead.

NALEE 1:38:01

I think I'm gonna work on leaving behind my how do I want to say this? My laziness.

ANTHONY 1:38:29

I feel like there's a lot of moments that I'm just like I should go out and okay, this is gonna be a really gross story. Apparently, I just love talking about poop. So yesterday I finally went out in my backyard and scavenged the backyard to like clean up all the dog poop, okay, which I had been off. And I was like, God, there's so much out here. But I was like, There's so much out here. I'm gonna work, I'm gonna work on like not putting things off like that. Like some things I just need to get off my ass and I just need to do. But like my reason, my reasoning in 2025 was, you know, I get up early, everything that's going on, and then I have to work. And honestly, I mean, we work together, you know how it is.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:18

Like, yeah.

ANTHONY 1:39:20

The time I clock out, I'm fucking drained. I don't want to have to worry about going to pick up dog poop or going to shovel snow, or like I just wanna I want my I want my me time back.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:34

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:39:35

But so I think that that's that's one thing I'm gonna leave behind in 2025. And I'm gonna try and focus more on like, I know I there's things that I don't want to do, but I have to do them.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:46

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:39:46

And putting it off until the next week or next day, I can't keep doing that.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:53

Okay. So I don't, I personally don't think that you're lazy. I definitely understand that there are times where obviously you can't like do everything all at once. But I hope you know. I'm not roasting you, but I hope you know. I don't think you're a lazy person. I feel like you keep yourself pretty busy. So, and you have a lot on your plate right now. Again, we've we've talked about this. That like I think you yeah, I feel like my prediction for you is actually give yourself a little grace and take a moment to chill. Like, even if you feel like you're lazy, I feel like you should at least chill.

ANTHONY 1:40:39

Just relax thanks. Just relax. You just hit it on the head. That's what I'm gonna leave behind in 2025. And I'm in 2026, I'm gonna try to be more present.

NALEE 1:40:50

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:40:51

I'm gonna relax. I'm gonna take more time for myself, and I'm gonna be more present in the moments versus being in a moment and being like, oh God, I really I gotta go grocery shopping, I gotta do laundry, I gotta go clean up the dog poop, I gotta go do this, I gotta, I gotta do that, I gotta get all these things done. I'm just gonna shut my mind off, be present, and focus.

NALEE 1:41:13

Period. You're welcome.

ANTHONY 1:41:15

Period.

NALEE 1:41:16

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:41:17

Thank you. You just, it was like illuminating for me.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:21

Wow. I feel like you're being sarcastic. No, I'm really honestly. So you're probably not.

NALEE 1:41:30

I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:31

Okay. Well, I would love for you to manifest that it's gonna happen. I feel like this is totally like a sidestep thing or a side tangent, but yeah, I don't know. I feel like 2026 could be our year. So just gonna keep saying that.

ANTHONY 1:41:48

I feel like it is gonna be our year.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:50

Yeah.

unknown 1:41:52

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:41:53

I think I sent you a TikTok the other day. I came across one and it was like good things that were gonna be happening for certain zodiac signs in 2026. And like, I think our two signs were on the list of yeah. It's this is gonna be our year.

Closing Toasts, Gratitude, And Intentions

SPEAKER_03 1:42:11

Yeah, it's kind of funny you say that because I've been like I've I've gone past my life coaching era. I think I'm still kind of in it, but I'm coming to the end of it. However, I've been really into like astrology and like zodiacs and stuff. And this is gonna be complete side tangent before we go before we move on to the next segment. But apparently 2025 has been pretty bad for a lot of people. It is the year of the snake. It's the year that it's teaching, it taught us how to shed what no longer fits. It's a season of clarity, quiet clarity, one that asks us to slow down, listen honestly. And recognize where we are living out of habit instead of truth. And the lessons wasn't about rushing change. It's about understanding why it's necessary. And the snake reminds us that growth often happens invisibly and that letting go is not an ending, but a preparation for what comes next. Now, 2026 is the year of the horse. It brings momentum, courage, and forward momentum. Um, I meant to say movement, but I said momentum twice.

unknown 1:43:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:35

Hold on. Let me.

ANTHONY 1:43:36

No, I am excited for that. I agree with that. Momentum, and we're going to we're going to make 2026 our bitch.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:44

We are. Yeah. We're the sniped the truth. The horse asks us to act on or trust our instincts, choose freedom over familiarity, and move boldly towards what feels aligned. 2026 is going to be a year embodied with expansion where clarity turns into action and confidence grows through passion, and the shedding is now done. So now we run.

ANTHONY 1:44:36

Yeah, right? That's gonna be your new side hustle.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:39

It is. Watch me. Okay, but go on. Sorry.

ANTHONY 1:44:45

Okay. Well, I was just gonna move us into our next segment.

unknown 1:44:48

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:44:49

Bucket list or bust.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:51

Alright.

NALEE 1:44:51

Let's dream big or laugh at each other while trying.

ANTHONY 1:44:58

Nothing says New Year's like absurd aspirations. Another game. We're gonna talk about dream big or die laughing. Each of us is gonna share one to two goals for 2026. And the other one is going to react. Either die laughing, mocking, or dream big full of excitement. Wow. Nolly, would you like to go first?

NALEE 1:45:26

I would like for you to go first. I don't know why it took me so long to say that, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:36

You go first. What is some of yours?

ANTHONY 1:45:38

Yeah, that took you a long time. Okay, so my bucket list items for 2026 is I want to travel somewhere that I haven't been in the United States. I really miss this. I talk about this quite often, but like years ago, I went and met up with friends in New Orleans. Okay. And it was my first time in New Orleans, and we just spent the weekend there. And it was just a quick, quick weekend getaway with friends. And I thought that that was such a fun experience. So I would love to just randomly pick someplace in the United States and just be like, we're going for a weekend.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:25

Oh, I like that. So that's mine. Okay, well, dream big, baby, because we are gonna take this trip. Side quote side question. Side question. Where would you wanna go if let's say right now we won the lottery manifesting it out there, and they say, and we're like, okay, you know what? First thing we want to do with this money is we're gonna take a trip.

NALEE 1:46:53

Where would you wanna go?

ANTHONY 1:46:58

Right now, I think the one place that I really want to go is South Carolina. South Carolina are the outer ranks area.

NALEE 1:47:06

For what?

ANTHONY 1:47:07

Yeah.

NALEE 1:47:08

For what?

ANTHONY 1:47:10

Just some of the like houses and the like the houses in the historic like district and everything there looks so beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:20

I feel like they're South Carolina's kind of haunted. But that's just because that's how my brain thinks.

ANTHONY 1:47:27

Okay. I don't see a problem with that. I'll go there.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:30

Okay. South Carolina, I have not heard anybody wanting to just travel there. Interesting. Okay.

ANTHONY 1:47:39

Really? I'll send you. I'll send you TikToks that made me want to go there.

NALEE 1:47:44

Okay. Deal. Okay. What about you? Your turn. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:51

So mine would be I like these questions, but my brain's a little too slit. I have to think about it a little bit. Okay.

NALEE 1:48:05

I want to travel internationally this year in 2026. I want to take an international trip. I want to go to Switzerland. Oh girl. Oh, she got that Monty. Okay. Yeah, we get the lottery, baby.

ANTHONY 1:48:26

Switzerland. Yeah, I that would be nice. Switzerland looks amazing.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:31

ANTHONY 1:48:41

I say dream big.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:42

Thanks, Boo. I'm gonna make it happen. Okay, so now it's your last one.

ANTHONY 1:48:47

So I wanna travel to South Carolina and then I want to. I wanna reach my goal weight. I'm already working towards it, and I'm already down 40 pounds, so I'm feeling optimistic that I'll reach it.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:07

Okay, I love that. That is a very good dream big. Yeah, I definitely think you're gonna get it. Dream big, boo. I love that. Okay.

NALEE 1:49:20

ANTHONY 1:49:28

Judgment free zone.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:30

I don't know.

NALEE 1:49:31

If I say this, you might take that back.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:36

Should I say it or should I not say it?

NALEE 1:49:39

Say it.

ANTHONY 1:49:39

Say it with your chest.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:41

Okay. I'm gonna get these tatas done.

NALEE 1:50:28

Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:30

Y'all know me. I love I love our quotes, but I'm nervous. This has kind of been a running theme for this episode unintentionally. And I'm going to say pun intended, but it's not really a quote, but it's just kind of like I guess a reflection or a forward movement. And Anthony, say it with me. I release it with. I don't know it. You're going to say it with me because I'm going to say it right now. I'm going to say it right now.
