🎙️The Day Social Media Disappears (And We Panic) (AUDIO ONLY)🎙️

📴 The Day Social Media Disappears (And We Panic)

Imagine waking up tomorrow…
 and every app is just gone.

No Instagram.
 No TikTok.
 No Snapchat.
 No scrolling.
 No lurking.
 No “just one more video.”

Just… silence.

This week on Twin Tangents, Anthony and Nalee spiral (respectfully) over what would actually happen if social media disappeared overnight — and whether we’d be free… or completely unwell.

Because are we connected…
 or just chronically online?

We’re talking:

📱 Social media addiction → the habits, the dependence, and the “I’ll just check one thing” lie
 🌎 If it all disappeared → influencers, careers, businesses… and who survives the digital collapse
 😂 Memes as a love language → what happens when we lose our primary form of communication
 🗣️ Face-to-face conversations → connection or confrontation? and why tone hits different in real life
 👀 Offline identity crisis → who are you when you’re not posting, performing, or perceived?
 💬 Text vs. real life → misunderstanding tone, avoiding hard conversations, and hiding behind a screen
 😳 Asking real questions → why vulnerability feels harder in person than online
 🦠 Post-COVID habits → how isolation reshaped our social skills, routines, and comfort zones
 🔒 Privacy vs. exposure → oversharing, boundaries, and what we’ve normalized online
 🌀 Mental reset or meltdown? → would losing social media heal us… or send us spiraling
 💌 Fan mail moment → suspicious friends, trusting your gut, and setting boundaries that actually stick

This episode is funny, slightly alarming, and a little too real — unpacking how deeply social media is woven into our identities, relationships, and everyday lives.

Because it’s not just an app…
 it’s how we connect, cope, avoid, and exist.

Quick disclaimer: This episode contains digital dependency, mild identity crises, and the uncomfortable realization that we might not know how to function offline.

It’s chaotic, reflective, and just self-aware enough to admit… we’re all a little addicted.

🎙️ Motto of the week:
 If social media disappeared tomorrow…
 would you feel free… or lost?

Transcript

Cold Open And The Big Question

NALEE 0:16

I thought that was you.

ANTHONY 0:18

No, I thought that was you.

NALEE 0:19

No, it's not me. Anyways, welcome back to Twin Tangents, the podcast where the tangents are free and the existential crises are mandatory.

ANTHONY 0:32

Today we're asking the question nobody wants to ask. What would happen if social media disappeared tomorrow?

NALEE 0:39

It's gone. Poof. Like that. Like followers are gone, which we have none. Well, we have like 18. And that 3 a.m. do scroll. Yeah, history. Kapoot.

ANTHONY 0:50

Can you imagine? Like we would actually have to talk to people.

NALEE 0:55

I don't know. I I we can barely talk, and we're not even in front of each other. So I can't even imagine like talking to people. I don't fucking know.

ANTHONY 1:07

Yeah, I it's it's something that it's an art that we've lost.

NALEE 1:14

Yeah. Well, anyways, buckle the fuck up because we're diving into chaos, offline apocalypse.

ANTHONY 1:23

First things first, our first segment, the panic button. How would society react? How would we react? Imagine the immediate meltdown we would have.

NALEE 1:33

Phones open, blank screens, screaming internally.

ANTHONY 1:37

Let's break down the way that humanity would descend into chaos. I wanted to talk about the instant withdrawal symptoms. Nolly, I feel like you would have immediately

Withdrawal Panic And Influencer Fallout

ANTHONY 1:54

your phone in hand, nothing happens, nothing works. Would you die? But did you die?

NALEE 2:01

I think I die a little. Like it'd be sad for like people who I have like I'm in contact with that that don't live like close. I'd be like, how am I gonna contact them now? Like, bye, you know, like bye. But well, how do you contact them now? Through text.

ANTHONY 2:23

But we would still have text, right? Aren't we just talking about like social media going down?

NALEE 2:27

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. I'm in a whole nother world. You know what? Fuck that. Nah, I'd be fine. It's like people who are actually let's let's take that back. Sorry. People who actually are important and like are deserving of my time, they got my phone number. Yeah. Regardless. Because people who know me, I'm very like cautious about like giving my phone number out. So if you are if you are in the know what?

ANTHONY 2:59

Yeah, we know you'd be writing your phone number and bathroom stalls. You're like calling me for a good time.

NALEE 3:04

Hell no. I don't just like give my number, like my personal phone number. I don't even anybody ringing it up unless I feel confident that like, you know, you won't blow my phone up. But maybe my social media, I'll give you like, I don't know, my snap or like whatever. But when it comes to like my actual phone phone, I don't just give it to anybody. So if social media was to just like disappear, I don't think I would be sad. I mean, like, I think if I had like a big following, then okay, I'd be like, damn, my audience is gone. I got nobody else to entertain. But at the same time, I'd be like, eh, it's whatever. Like it is what it is. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 3:41

That part in our society, all these social media influencers, they would probably kill themselves.

NALEE 3:46

Yeah, they'd probably starve a lot because they get paid to, you know. So we good. We Gucci. Y'all keep doing your nine or five and your own businesses. Don't like rely on fucking social media.

ANTHONY 4:00

That sounds so bad to say, but these pe but they're social me the social media influencers, like that is their job. Yeah.

NALEE 4:06

I don't know.

ANTHONY 4:06

And it's sad because it's like those people are not what are they what would they do? Let's be honest. Like a lot of them, like, they don't necessarily have the skills to well, I shouldn't say that.

NALEE 4:20

I know they could do like, you know, like they have those like sign dancers out tonight, and a lot of people they do like the TikTok dances. They could do that. That's a good job.

ANTHONY 4:28

And they could dance while they're Taco Tuesday.

NALEE 4:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

ANTHONY 4:31

They stand out there dressed as a taco.

NALEE 4:33

Yeah, and they just do their like TikTok dance along with a spine. The spine. The sign, yeah. So I mean, you could work it into it, you know, but it's very niche, I guess.

ANTHONY 4:44

It would be very niche.

NALEE 4:45

Yeah. I don't know.

ANTHONY 4:46

That's and it sounds it it sounds harsh when I said they would probably kill themselves, but honestly, like I don't legitimately mean that, but I don't feel like they would know what to do with themselves.

NALEE 4:58

I don't know. I feel like there'd be another way. Like they'd find another way to like expose themselves or something like that.

ANTHONY 5:04

Which would be fine. I'm all for it. Go ahead and do do what you gotta do, I guess.

NALEE 5:09

Yeah. I don't know. I feel like I'd be fine though, because we've already talked about me trying to like stay off of social media. I think I'd be fine. I mean, excluding my daily selfies that I've been doing recently, excluding that, but yeah, I think I'd be fine. It's not that big a deal. It's just social media.

ANTHONY 5:27

You'd still be able to take your selfies. You just couldn't post it anywhere.

NALEE 5:31

Yeah, I just couldn't post it. I'd just send it to people, be like, hey, I thought you'd miss me, thought you made my miss my face. Here you go. Happy day, happy hump day.

ANTHONY 5:39

Good old days when we I kind of like that though.

NALEE 5:42

I kind of wish that social media wasn't such a big thing. I think the only thing that I do like about it is that like you get in touch with people like that isn't in your everyday life. You know what I mean? Like you could touch the world one click at a time instead of physically at a time.

ANTHONY 5:57

But couldn't you still touch people just through text?

NALEE 6:03

I guess we can.

ANTHONY 6:04

But rubbing your boob right now?

NALEE 6:06

No, I'm touching my hair. Why would I rub my boob? I don't know. It looked like you were just like. Oh no, yeah. I was just rubbing my boob for the for the show of it. No, I was touching my hair.

ANTHONY 6:18

Rub your nipple? Like your nipple?

NALEE 6:21

Ew. No, you need it. You guys need to pay me for that for me to do that. I ain't gonna do that here. I didn't already give you enough entertainment. I ain't gonna do that too and get it done for free. Hello. But you know what I realized? I'm so loud. Even in the mic, I'm so loud. I just want to apologize, side tangent, for people who listen to the audio. My voice is so like blaring. I'm so sorry.

ANTHONY 6:43

You've said that before. I don't think that you're too loud. Plus, we like I'm really loud.

NALEE 6:48

Like when I listen to our audio.

ANTHONY 6:50

You adjust our audio.

NALEE 6:51

I don't know. I feel like I'm super loud. I feel like I'm constantly yelling in the mic. But yeah.

ANTHONY 6:58

I don't think you are for what it's worth.

NALEE 7:00

Okay, thank you. I think just ca it's just because you like me. Like as a friend, like you're nice to me.

ANTHONY 7:07

Do you think that's why?

NALEE 7:09

No, you think I'm stupid. No, you're not stupid. Just kidding. Okay. But anyways, what was your other topic? Or did you have anything more you wanted to add to that?

ANTHONY 7:18

Well, I would just my like for me, I think I would definitely go through withdrawals just because it's one of those social media is one of those mind-numbing, like wormholes that you can go down or rabbit holes. You just log into TikTok and you just swipe, double tap, swipe, double tap. Yeah, I'm gonna go. So I think that I would have that immediately, like if this were to happen immediately, I would have that like I'm gonna say it would probably take me a week. No, not even a week transition before I'm not like constantly like reaching for my phone or like where's my phone?

NALEE 7:50

Yeah, I get it. I mean But I think Yeah.

ANTHONY 7:54

Oh, I was just gonna say, I definitely think that I could do it and I would be okay with social media going away.

NALEE 7:59

I think we could do it too. Yeah. I kind of miss those days though. I feel like we if we go back to it, I feel like everything would be less panicky. Because people panic a lot with like social media and stuff, you know?

ANTHONY 8:13

Because people don't well, people don't like to wait.

NALEE 8:15

Yeah.

ANTHONY 8:16

I guess That's a big that's a big part of it. Because everything is well, I think everybody's part of that group, regardless of whether or not they're on social media. People don't like to wait for things that they want.

NALEE 8:29

Yeah.

ANTHONY 8:29

But I don't know.

NALEE 8:30

I don't know. I feel like social media fucked us up as a soci as a society, but it is what it is. At this point, we're all gonna die anyways, so it's okay.

ANTHONY 8:39

Do you think that it's all social media?

NALEE 8:41

I would say specific social media is that I would say sp like I would say a majority of it is because like like influencers and stuff like that, I would say. Um, or like, yeah, just kind of I don't know, just kind of like I feel like just kind of everything. Everything just kind of is like how I am today, where I'm just kind of like, eh. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. My brain is so fried today.

ANTHONY 9:12

I was just literally thinking that. I was like, you're not very you don't have a lot of energy today. I don't care. Did you have a long day?

NALEE 9:19

Yeah, I told you my schedule that I had I literally had like two hours of sleep, maybe three. So my brain is just it's fried. She ain't energetic today. She doesn't drink coffee or energy drinks, so she's kind of floating in midair today.

ANTHONY 9:36

It kind of surprises me that you don't drink energy drinks, to be honest.

NALEE 9:39

You think so? Yeah. But the thing is, the reason why I don't drink it is because I'd be bouncing off the walls right now. I'd be like, yo, like what's up? Like, what we doing now? You know, like I'd be shaking. And that's a bad thing? Yeah, because I don't like feeling like that. Yeah, like I don't like feeling shaky because if I feel shaky, I go into like this anxiety-inducing like feeling, you know?

ANTHONY 10:01

Spaz out, freak out.

NALEE 10:03

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Man, I used to be so today. Well, yeah, I'm I'm on my bed because I have, you know, I'm in like a new place now, and it's a mess out there. So yeah, I'm on my bed. This is like this is setting up for like an OnlyFans thing. Anyways, yeah.

ANTHONY 10:23

Push the camera back.

NALEE 10:25

Ew. Look at you. Well, I have my blanket here. Uh. But yeah.

ANTHONY 10:35

No, take the blanket off.

NALEE 10:37

Ew, what are we doing? What's your next topic? I feel so uncomfortable right now. Ooh yeah. This took a fucking turn. Um what's your next topic? Let's go to your next topic right now.

ANTHONY 10:50

Okay, my next topic was I want to know like what apps on your phone that you're addicted to.

NALEE 10:58

Oh. Okay.

ANTHONY 11:00

Because you're saying that you wouldn't have a problem. So I'm just interested to know what like what apps you currently use the most. I was telling you that we weren't supposed to have this life because it's 2026. All this shit was supposed to be left in 2025.

NALEE 11:14

Yeah.

ANTHONY 11:16

Also, tell Polly I said hi.

NALEE 11:18

Okay. Yeah, I'll tell her.

ANTHONY 11:20

Well, I was just asking you,

App Addictions And Meme Survival

ANTHONY 11:22

I'm interested to know what apps you're addicted to currently that if social media were to go away tomorrow, like, would you be affected by those apps not by not having access to those apps?

NALEE 11:37

Well, I think we've discussed in like our previous episode that your girl's single now.

ANTHONY 11:45

So I think like I'm on snap and you're gonna miss getting dick down, you miss a probably.

NALEE 11:52

So probably like snap and like hinge. I'm on I am on hinge. And then that's pretty much it.

ANTHONY 11:59

You're gonna have to tell those guys that they're gonna have to take a Polaroid picture of their dick and like courier pigeon it to you.

NALEE 12:05

This is like super side tangent, but never mind. I'm not gonna even talk about it. We're gonna talk about it whenever. Yeah.

ANTHONY 12:12

Now you have to. Or is it not pod appropriate?

NALEE 12:16

There's nothing that is not pod appropriate. Come on, it's you and me.

ANTHONY 12:20

Then what are we? And our 18 listeners.

NALEE 12:23

Yeah, but I was talking to this discredit them. Like, there's these guys that I've been talking to, but I don't really talk to them. Like they randomly add me on like Snap or whatever. And so there's this guy, like he always sends me like a morning dick pic, and I'm just like, oh, okay, whatever. But then I'm like, you know, I want to see your other face. Like, I want to see what you actually look like. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 12:45

Your other face. I want to see your other face.

NALEE 12:49

Yeah. And so I'm like, I gotta make sure that the face matches the dick. You know what I mean? And so then he was like laughing, and then he sent me like a photo, and I'm just like, okay, it blocked. But yeah.

ANTHONY 12:59

Was he ugly?

NALEE 13:00

He wasn't ugly, but he's just he just wasn't my type.

ANTHONY 13:04

And you blocked him?

NALEE 13:05

Yeah. Why would I waste my time? Like, my thing is if you're sending dick pics to me, somebody you don't even know, think of all the other girls you're sending dick pics to. You know what I mean? And to me, that's a no. Like, I'm I'm good. We still classy out here.

ANTHONY 13:19

But okay, we're gonna have to revisit this conversation because go, yeah. But I have so many questions I could ask about that.

NALEE 13:28

Anyways, those are the only two. I'm actually not that much on Instagram and Facebook. I do share like random things because of the podcast, obviously. I share stuff, but yeah, and then maybe TikTok, but I need to like up my game on TikTok because Yan always trying to do like the t the tort the tarot card stuff, and then I just stopped because of moving and stuff. So I really need to pick that back up. I don't know. I have this itch right here, but anyways, yeah, I was getting irritated.

ANTHONY 13:56

It's all those crabs.

NALEE 13:57

You dumbass ho. Hell nah. Hell nah. Uh-uh.

ANTHONY 14:03

Skibies.

NALEE 14:04

No, it's my hair. It's like sticking out, so it's like scratching your hair, bitch. Anyways, what's your other topic? Well, what about you?

ANTHONY 14:14

Are you drunk?

NALEE 14:16

I'm slow today. What about you? What about you? What's your what about you? What are some of your apps that you use a lot? I don't TikTok for sure. You've been sending me like 80 videos.

ANTHONY 14:25

Bitch, that's like you on Facebook.

NALEE 14:27

Yeah, that's true.

ANTHONY 14:28

We're two Ps in a goddamn pod. Yeah, no, it would be it would be a TikTok and it would be. I don't know if I'm on Facebook or Instagram more.

NALEE 14:39

Sorry. I feel like you're more on Instagram than you are on TikTok.

ANTHONY 14:41

Or did I say TikTok? I meant Facebook.

NALEE 14:44

Did I say Facebook? No, no, no. Yeah, you said it was me. You are on I'm just gonna move this really quick. You are on Instagram more than you are on Facebook, I would say.

ANTHONY 14:53

Yeah, I think so too. I think I've kind of shifted to Instagram more.

NALEE 14:58

Yeah, I agree. Because I'm only saying that because I get more videos from you on Instagram than on anything else. Or actually on TikTok. Really?

ANTHONY 15:06

On TikTok, probably.

NALEE 15:07

Yeah, I get TikTok more and then Instagram would be second. So Yeah.

ANTHONY 15:11

Yeah. So it would be Instagram and TikTok. I would definitely be up Shutz Creek. Well, I shouldn't say Shits Creek, but if if social media went down tomorrow, it would be hard for me to disconnect from those. But it would be positive to disconnect from those.

NALEE 15:26

Yeah, I agree. I agree.

ANTHONY 15:28

Yeah. What about you?

NALEE 15:29

What about me?

ANTHONY 15:30

Like, what did you have to talk about in this segment? I was like, we already talked about me.

NALEE 15:36

Yeah. You want to hear about it again? I'm just kidding.

ANTHONY 15:38

Yeah, could we?

NALEE 15:39

Yeah. That's not interesting. Anyways, my thing would be meme memes vanish. I don't know how I would live without memes at this point. Like, it is my sole purpose to share any and every meme that I relate to. So like I I don't know what I would do. Like, literally, that's the only thing I use my social media for. If you guys know me, that's all I post all day is memes and stupid ass shit. And yeah, I would be very sad if like social media disappeared and that like that was gone. Because it's kind of insane how relatable memes are to like your everyday life and like how simple like memes are and they could like relate to you so hard, you're just like, dude, that's me. Like, you know, I don't know. But I do that's probably the my my biggest thing if social media disappears the memes.

ANTHONY 16:31

Do you feel like memes like in that respect as how you're explaining it, do you feel like memes like bring people together? I wouldn't think there's a positivity or a positive light from that comes from them.

NALEE 16:43

I didn't say that they bring people together necessarily, but they allow people to relate to each other. Like oh yeah, that's a better way of putting it. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I felt that, you know, or like, oh yeah, I can relate to that, but that's like it. But it's like it's so good, you know? Like, it's like it's so good. I can't explain it. I'm explaining it. I'm so lame. I can't explain it, but yeah, I don't know. Memes are life. Like I have this memes are life.

ANTHONY 17:10

I do love a good meme.

NALEE 17:11

Yeah, I have this coworker, like she's an older gal, but she always sends the funniest memes, and I'm just like, where do you find all of these? Like, she's she's super nice, she's super sweet. Like, you would never expect her to like send you like super out of pocket memes, but then like when she sends it, it's hilarious. Like every time she sends it, I'm like, girl, I know I could count on you for a good meme, but yeah, that's it.

ANTHONY 17:37

Do I know this person?

NALEE 17:38

No, I don't think you do.

ANTHONY 17:40

Oh.

NALEE 17:41

Yeah. It's not Courtney, but she's a little bit more. Well, I would hope not.

ANTHONY 17:44

Didn't you say she was older?

NALEE 17:45

Yeah.

ANTHONY 17:46

Courtney's not old. Courtney's young.

NALEE 17:48

She's young. She's living her best life.

ANTHONY 17:50

She is living her best life, little bitch.

NALEE 17:53

Bitch? Okay. Oh, go ahead.

ANTHONY 17:55

Yeah, I think it would suck if So we're only are you talking about like memes themselves going away, or are you talking about like the ability to share the memes?

NALEE 18:05

Yeah, the ability to share the meme, like with other people.

ANTHONY 18:09

Yeah, because it wouldn't be able to reach the masses, but you could still send out a group text with the meme.

NALEE 18:14

Yeah, that's true, but I'm not really a group text kind of girl. Like, why would I randomly send you a meme to like 10 people and they're just gonna be like, meh. When I could share it on my feed and whoever sees it, they're like, ha, like can react to it. Yeah, yeah. To me, I know how go ahead.

ANTHONY 18:32

No, go ahead. Go ahead.

NALEE 18:33

I was gonna say to me, I know my real fans or people who like actually like get along with me are people who constantly like my shit because they could relate to it. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 18:42

Yeah. And that that's kind of what I was gonna say too, with like when you're sharing it on social media, it allows people who can relate to it or who find it funny to react to it.

NALEE 18:55

Yeah.

ANTHONY 18:56

And most of other people who don't relate to it or don't enjoy it just keep scrolling.

NALEE 19:02

Mm-hmm. We would be so sad without memes.

ANTHONY 19:05

If we had no memes.

NALEE 19:06

Yeah, we'd be so sad without it.

ANTHONY 19:08

I do understand what you're saying as far as like relating to memes.

NALEE 19:11

Yeah.

ANTHONY 19:12

They're so smart.

NALEE 19:13

They're so smart. Like, who would have thought of that? You know what I mean? I don't know. Man, I sound so fucking slow today. I'm so sorry. I sound like I'm high. I feel high, but I haven't done anything. No. Do you want to be high? I wish I was high. I wish I was high, but like I feel high without the high, which is the shittiest feeling ever. Because I just feel slow. Yeah. Sorry. It's an off day for me, guys. I don't have that very often, but today is an off day for me.

ANTHONY 19:41

No need to apologize.

NALEE 19:43

Well, this is awkward. This is awkward.

ANTHONY 19:47

Crickets. Crickets.

NALEE 19:51

Okay.

ANTHONY 19:52

Memes. Memes. We were talking. I was gonna say, I love me a good gif. Oh gif or whatever you want to call it.

NALEE 19:58

I think it's a gif.

ANTHONY 19:59

Gif.

NALEE 20:00

Yeah. Or I just call it gif.

ANTHONY 20:02

G if.

NALEE 20:03

Yeah, you sounded out. Gif. Nobody could nobody can say it correctly, so it's a gif. That water looks really refreshing. Oh, sorry. My my aim. Wow. It reminds me, for some reason, like when I was taking my brother to work, he was just like, dude, like you have a weird laugh now. And I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, you have a different laugh. And I'm like, people just come up with different laughs. I don't know. Like, I've been laughing like this. What? Yeah. And I'm just like, I'm confused. But when I listen to it, I'm like, yeah, I actually don't really laugh like that. But now I do. I can't imitate the laugh now.

ANTHONY 20:40

I'm so confused. What is he like on the podcast?

NALEE 20:43

Yeah, because I was listening to our the new episode that's gonna be releasing this the week prior to today. Yeah, tomorrow. I would I had this, I can't fucking you guys, this episode's done. Thank you so much for tuning in.

ANTHONY 21:00

Should we try this again on a different day?

NALEE 21:02

No, no, no, we're good, we're good. But uh but he was telling, I was listening to it, and then we were like the first, it was like the first five minutes. And then I had like this weird laugh, I guess, and he was like, yo, like I've never heard you laugh like that before. Like, that's a new laugh. And then I'm just like, I never even realized that that I could be I I could have new laughs. Like, what? I don't know exactly. I'm like, what? I'm confused.

ANTHONY 21:27

I guess I've never realized because the way you laugh, you laugh the same as you do in person.

NALEE 21:32

I know. That's what I'm saying. I'm literally the same person as I am on text, on phone, on everything. So I don't know.

ANTHONY 21:40

Yeah.

NALEE 21:40

Yeah, I don't know.

ANTHONY 21:41

I I'm gonna have to go back and listen because I'm gonna Yeah, it's like within the first brother's talking about.

NALEE 21:47

Yeah, it's within the first five minutes. I don't know. I ain't gonna try to imitate it because I don't even remember what the laugh was, but I was just like, Oh, okay. Interesting.

ANTHONY 21:55

Episode eight?

NALEE 21:56

Yeah. The new one that you just posted or uploaded online today. Yeah.

ANTHONY 22:00

Uh yeah. Okay. I'll have to go and listen to it.

NALEE 22:02

Okay, I have a story really quick.

ANTHONY 22:05

Okay.

NALEE 22:05

Okay, I got super wasted this past weekend with my sister-in-law and like my family. Like it's the first time. I'm gonna share this with the pod because I think you guys would enjoy the story. But like it it was Easter, so obviously we're recording pre whatever. But we had Easter this weekend and I it was like my first time hanging out with my siblings. Most of my siblings. Uh my oldest brother wasn't there. But anyways, we're hanging out, and then I wasn't planning on like getting shit faced, but I got super fucking drunk. And then I came home and I woke up the next morning. I had bruises on both my knees, and I have like a big ass bruise right here, like on my shoulder. And I was just like, what the fuck did I do? Like, I don't remember anything. Like, I think I blacked out.

ANTHONY 22:52

Blacked out?

NALEE 22:53

I blacked out. No, I blacked out. Like, it's also because I think we mixed liquor because we were drinking 1800. I didn't drink that much, but I think I've become lightweight because I haven't drank in a long time. So you guys might think that five shots isn't is a lot, but five shots is nothing compared to what I used to drink. I I'm not I'm you know, I'm not saying I'm an alcoholic, but I'm just saying like five shots wasn't bad, I guess. Like it wasn't like it wouldn't it's not that it wouldn't make me drunk, but it would like kick in a little slower back then. I think because I was like a little bit chubby or whatever. But then like I think I drank like five shots and then I had casually drank iced teas, two iced teas.

ANTHONY 23:39

And so then like the twisted teas?

NALEE 23:41

Twisted teas, yes. Two twisted teas. Yeah, and so then we were playing uh sequence, and then like I was doing fine at first. I'm like, oh, like this was like what? I think this is three shots in, and then I had finished one twisted tea. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm fine. Like I'm starting to feel the buzz and we're chilling, we're cool. And so I finished the the second twisted tee, and then I had two more shots, and I'm like, oh yeah, like I'm good. And then all of a sudden I blacked out. And then I just remember like moments throughout the day, throughout the night where I'm pretty sure my dumbass was rolling on the floor. I think I I think the reason why it hurt my shoulder was because according to my sister, I had leaned onto the couch, like I was on the I was in the front where the cushions were at, and then I leaned onto the couch and I just fucking flipped over. I think I landed on my shoulder first, and so then I think that's why I have like a big ass bruise right here. And then apparently I was like kneeling every fucking year. And that's why I have bruises on my knees. I have no clue, girl. No clue. I wasn't doing anything dirty. I'm I was just I don't know what I was doing, but yeah. And so then I got shifted easier. And then my sister had my sister-in-law had sent me, like on Monday, she had said, Hey, did you make it to work? Because I didn't. And I was like, Yeah, I'm working right now. Like I'm super tired, but I'm working right now. And then she had sent us a video, she had sent my siblings and us a video of me like stumbling out of her house her house, and all you could hear me say is, Okay, I'm getting ready to run at the very end of the video. And that's when you know the bitch is blacked out because she's rolling on the floor and she's ready to run.

ANTHONY 25:21

Was Polly there?

NALEE 25:23

Polly was there. She was driving us home, but was Linda there? Linda was not there. They had left early.

ANTHONY 25:29

Okay.

NALEE 25:29

But all they said was, yeah, you were fucking, you were, you were a mess. Like you were really drunk. And I'm pretty sure I spilled some alcohol on my brother's carpet, but I was just like, I'm sorry, I'm drunk. And normally I'm really good with karaoke, but I fucking sucked. Like I was singing and laughing at the same time because of how much I sucked.

ANTHONY 25:48

I need to talk to your siblings because I need other hand accounts because I feel like you're holding back some details. Viewers, you saw that she was dear in the headlights at Connor.

NALEE 26:05

I don't know if it's appropriate. Okay, mute it.

ANTHONY 26:08

This is like the light version.

NALEE 26:10

I'm gonna share it with you, but you could mute it if you want to. I don't know. I don't really care. It's whatever. But I'm pretty sure the reason why my knees were like bruised up was because apparently somehow during the day or during that time, I had like pulled my pants down and showed my sister-in-law my butt, and they were like, Oh my god, your butt is so white and tender. And I was like, Oh yeah, you like my butt. And I was like showing it to them, and I low-key was like being a stupid hoe. Yeah, and that's why my knees were bruised, so yeah. But we go mute all of that because I don't think it was appropriate.

ANTHONY 26:50

I'm just gonna leave my reaction that I'm just yeah, I but please, please mute it.

NALEE 26:56

I just wanted to share that news with you, but it was fun. I haven't gotten drunk like that in a long time.

ANTHONY 27:02

So good for I was just gonna say, good for you. You deserve it. Yeah, YOLO.

NALEE 27:07

Yeah, you only loved ones. I mean, I did some other stuff too, but I'm I'm not gonna talk about that. But you're holding back. I am, I'm supposed to. It's not information that y'all need to know. But yeah, that was it. It was really fun, but yeah, it was fun while it lasted. So that's probably why too. Because I'm like super sore still from this past weekend. Okay. Yeah. Anyways, what was our topic again?

ANTHONY 27:33

I well, we were talking about if social media went down and how you would miss memes.

unknown 27:40

Yeah.

ANTHONY 27:41

And how much you like memes.

unknown 27:42

Yeah.

ANTHONY 27:43

And then you were gonna go into your other topic, unless you had something else that you wanted to add to that.

NALEE 27:48

No, I don't have anything else about the memes. My other topic was about FOMO, which is fear of missing out explosions. So like everybody would be missing everything. I think my younger self, this may would this may would have girl by this would have had affected her because I think when I was younger, I obviously had like FOMO. Like when my friends do stuff, I would want to be included in stuff. But now I'm just kind of like, I don't really care what anybody does. Like, so what if you went to Disneyland and whatever, you know?

FOMO Relief And Mental Health Reset

NALEE 28:22

But as of right now, I don't think I would really care about that. But back then probably.

ANTHONY 28:26

Yeah, I agree with that. And that kind of goes into one of our conversations that we had before. Remember how I had said, like, like, even if you like, I want to be invited and I want to be included. And even if you know that I'm gonna say no, like still ask me, like, what does that hurt?

NALEE 28:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

ANTHONY 28:43

Like without social media, imagine how much you could do things without. Like, you could go to Valley Fair with all your friends and your sisters, and like I would never know. And like I wouldn't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Yeah.

NALEE 28:57

Yeah. And you wouldn't have to complain about people taking family photos in the pumpkin patch because you wouldn't see it.

ANTHONY 29:03

Holly, fucking Louya.

NALEE 29:08

Holly, fucking Louia.

ANTHONY 29:10

No, sure.

NALEE 29:11

Fucking dead.

ANTHONY 29:14

I it's a no for me, dog.

NALEE 29:16

That reaction was beautiful. That was hilarious. I was literally trying to holler inside. I couldn't holler outside, but I was hollering on the inside. What does that mean? Like laughing. Like I was hollering, like, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That was the most. That was a weird laugh.

ANTHONY 29:34

You don't laugh like that.

NALEE 29:35

I don't. That was goddamn, my energy's so low today, guys. I don't know. That's I feel like I'm dreaming.

ANTHONY 29:43

You need more energy. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.

NALEE 29:47

Who wakes up like that? What the fuck was that?

ANTHONY 29:49

I do.

NALEE 29:52

That's how you wake up?

ANTHONY 29:53

Yeah, I wake up every morning and I go, it's gonna be a good morning.

NALEE 29:57

I can't even do that. What the fuck is that? Is that how you do it? Yeah. Bitch, I'm done. You're doing some magic trick over there. Put some magic in me, because I need to fucking like wake the fuck up.

ANTHONY 30:09

How do you do that that one trick? I don't know how to do it. I can't look stupid. Yeah, that one. Yeah.

NALEE 30:19

I know to do the I know to do two magic tricks.

ANTHONY 30:23

Isn't there one where you like you can make it look like your finger?

NALEE 30:27

You make it look like that. You make it look do like that.

ANTHONY 30:30

You make it you make it do like they have.

NALEE 30:32

Yeah. Okay. Do you have anything else to add?

ANTHONY 30:36

So FOMO explosion. I feel like this would be a good like mental health, like this would s improve mental health, not having social media. I think it's such a detriment to mental health. And I I'm guilty as guilty as charged. But yeah, I think without social media and that fear of missing out and without having to see it's almost like it's information overload when you're on scrolling on social media.

NALEE 31:04

Yeah, I would agree. I think it it would be a really good mental check for everybody.

ANTHONY 31:10

Mm-hmm.

NALEE 31:11

Yeah.

ANTHONY 31:11

Yeah.

NALEE 31:12

For sure.

ANTHONY 31:12

Okay, well, but yeah, I have nothing else to add for FOMO.

NALEE 31:16

Okay, I'm gonna go on to our next segment, which is life actually happening online. Panic mode is over. What now?

ANTHONY 31:24

Did you mean offline?

NALEE 31:25

Fuck. What did I say?

ANTHONY 31:26

Online.

NALEE 31:27

Day two.

ANTHONY 31:28

We're trying to not be online, huh?

NALEE 31:30

Day two. Life actually happening offline. Panic mogen is over. What now?

ANTHONY 31:35

We're forced to actually live.

NALEE 31:38

By live, I mean see sunlight, touch grass, and maybe talk to human beings. We could try Anthony's grounding thing now.

Offline Life And Grounding Gone Weird

ANTHONY 31:47

Yeah, try grounding. Go out there. It's I mean, it's terri it honestly, because of how long we've had social media, like it's terrifying to think of not having it. But isn't it also kind of exciting? I mean, think about when we didn't have social media and it was starting to become a thing. You know, again, like we said the other day, it's like a revolving door. It's like a it's a cycle thing. It's also exciting to it was also exciting when social media was happening and when it was becoming a thing. Like I remember being on MySpace and like how exciting it was and like when they would make those like little changes, and it was like, oh, you could choose your top 10 friends to put on your MySpace page.

NALEE 32:32

Like I totally forgot about that.

ANTHONY 32:34

It's like yeah, it's exciting. And as far as the grounding goes, I mean, speaking with social media, have you seen these things on probably not? It's probably just my fucking algorithm, but like on TikTok, how they're selling like grounding mats.

NALEE 32:49

What the fuck?

ANTHONY 32:50

I don't know how they work. I I understand the purpose of them. That's what I'm wondering. I'm like, why are you gonna spend money to buy a mat that you have to like plug in and turn on?

NALEE 33:03

You know what you should do? I have the best. Yeah. You should sell your backyard for grounding, like sessions for grounding in your backyard. Because you know how like how nice your grass is. Ooh.

ANTHONY 33:17

A lot of people have nice grass. Just go into your own yard. Nobody's gonna pay it. Well, I'm somebody probably will pay me, but I don't want to make random people stopping in my yard.

NALEE 33:26

You wake up in the middle of the night, there's a naked man in the back, and he's like, I'm grounding. What you gonna do then? Pew pew, motherfucker.

ANTHONY 33:34

I would shit myself if I woke up and like looked outside and somebody was standing in my backyard.

NALEE 33:40

What if you woke up and I was just standing there in the middle of the night?

ANTHONY 33:45

In my backyard or in my room?

NALEE 33:47

No, in your backyard. What would you do?

ANTHONY 33:50

I would shit myself. I would be like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

NALEE 33:52

What if I was in your room and I was like sitting like this at the end of your bed and I was just smiling?

ANTHONY 33:56

Like the fucking little creepy ass kid from the grudge?

NALEE 33:59

Yeah. Bitsubishi, Toyota, Hyundai. What would you do?

ANTHONY 34:06

I just had this conversation with my uncle yesterday because I had made a comment. I was like, I'm gonna wake you up in the middle of the night and I'm just gonna be like looking over your face. His response was probably the exact same response that I would say to you if you were to do that to me. You better move fast because I'm gonna, I'm gonna knock the shit out of you. Especially if you're on the edge of my bed, I'm gonna kick your ass off.

NALEE 34:26

Dang, I would too.

ANTHONY 34:27

You wake bitch, you wake somebody up out of a cold sleep and you're just perched on the fucking corner of their bed staring at them? Best believe it, I'm kicking hard, motherfucker.

NALEE 34:36

You know why? I would I would hope that you do that, because it definitely wouldn't be me. It wouldn't be me. It'd be something else. It'd be the uncle that died in your house. Oh my god, what if you woke up and you actually saw him just standing there like hovering over you? Like Bentneck Lady from Haunting of Hill House. And he was just like, you know, like what would you do?

ANTHONY 34:58

If it was like a creepy apparition, I would be I would shit myself.

NALEE 35:03

I feel like you wouldn't. I feel like you'd think that you'd shit yourself, but you'd be like, what the fuck? Get the fuck out of here.

ANTHONY 35:08

If it was creepy, well, I mean, I would definitely be like, get the fuck out of here, what the hell are you doing?

NALEE 35:12

Yeah.

ANTHONY 35:12

But if it was like a good ghostly apparition, I don't think that I would be scared.

NALEE 35:17

Bitch, a good ghostly apparition? Who the fuck says that? Uh-uh.

ANTHONY 35:21

Yeah, like what if it was just like, what if it was my grandma's ghost passing through? Oh, got it. I woke up and like I don't know. As much as like that kind of presence, you know what I mean?

NALEE 35:33

Yeah, like it's not like malicious or it's not like malevolent or whatever it's called.

ANTHONY 35:39

Yeah.

NALEE 35:40

I don't know. For me, regardless if if you're a ghost or whatever, if I see you and even if you're nice, I don't want to see you. Like, leave me be. Like, just make me blind. Make me blind.

ANTHONY 35:51

Yeah, I mean, don't don't make me blind, please.

NALEE 35:54

I'm already blind, so I agree with you.

ANTHONY 35:58

Like, I don't want to see it, but if I'm going to, like, make it a good one.

NALEE 36:04

Make it a good one.

ANTHONY 36:05

Make it a good one. Don't give me no bent neck lady, bitch, who's gonna get in my face and just go.

NALEE 36:11

Oh my god, that was so fucking scary. You bitch.

ANTHONY 36:20

You're gonna have memories about that tonight.

NALEE 36:22

No, I didn't realize what you were doing until I saw the fucking screen. I'm like, what the fuck? That was stupid.

ANTHONY 36:28

If my camera wasn't so far away, I'd really get up there and just be like.

NALEE 36:32

No, that was scary. I didn't. But I forgot what I said. I'm too flabbergasted by whatever the fuck just happened here.

ANTHONY 36:42

How did we even get here? Because we were talking about grounding.

NALEE 36:45

Oh yeah. I remember.

ANTHONY 36:47

We haven't even gotten to into any of our topics for this segment.

NALEE 36:50

Because we've been we've been tending so much. But I was gonna say, before we go back to what we're talking about, I was gonna say, what if what if your grandma came back and she was naked? What would you do then?

ANTHONY 37:04

Well, I don't think that she would be.

NALEE 37:07

You never know.

ANTHONY 37:08

I like to think that, like, if anybody from the afterlife presents themselves to somebody who's alive, that they're not going to do it naked.

NALEE 37:19

But what if it like, let's scratch your grandma. What if it was like some sexy dude or some sexy girl? You'd be like, Where's my bottle lotion? Where's my bottle of lotion?

ANTHONY 37:28

Regardless of it, like who it is, I just I I like to think that they're gonna be clothed.

NALEE 37:34

I'm not I'm just Merv the Perv. It's fine.

ANTHONY 37:36

You're Merv the Perv. Have you been seeing that video going around about the the guy who gets fucked by a ghost?

NALEE 37:45

No, but send it to me. Sounds interesting.

ANTHONY 37:48

Okay. I'll have to I'll have to find it and send it to you, but it's it's literally like one of those like Is it like the scary movie guy getting fucked by a ghost?

NALEE 37:56

Is it like that? Have you seen on the paranormal activity one where he like his we've talked about the blankets?

ANTHONY 38:02

It's almost off. Yeah, it's exactly like that. It's a guy in bed and like the blanket goes off and the guy gets pulled and his legs go up.

NALEE 38:10

I bet you he sets his ass up every night. He'd be like, I'm a part of my booty.

ANTHONY 38:15

I mean, it's clearly AI generated, but Damn.

NALEE 38:18

Yeah, you should send it to me. That'd be funny. I want to look at it.

ANTHONY 38:21

Why do I I love how you're like that?

NALEE 38:25

Yeah.

ANTHONY 38:27

We'll post that on our socials.

NALEE 38:28

Yeah, let's do that. We want everybody to watch Guy Getting Fucked by a Ghost with us.

ANTHONY 38:34

Yeah.

NALEE 38:35

You're welcome. Free porn.

ANTHONY 38:37

Here's the punchline. You never see him coming.

NALEE 38:40

Hey. Issa dumb. That's a good one. Issa dumb. That's a good one.

ANTHONY 38:47

Oh, dumb. It's like the invisible man.

NALEE 38:50

Yes. Did you just come up with that?

ANTHONY 38:52

I feel like I heard it somewhere and I just applied it to this situation.

NALEE 38:55

You could have just said, yeah, you did. It would have made you a thousand times cooler.

ANTHONY 38:58

Yeah, with my luck, one of our 18 listeners is the person who created it or her who first said it, and then they're gonna message in and be like, You fucking liar.

NALEE 39:08

Pen pending, pen pending.

ANTHONY 39:11

And then I'll say, you a little bitch.

NALEE 39:15

Virginia. I'm just kidding. We love Virginia.

ANTHONY 39:17

Virginia.

NALEE 39:18

That's our new favorite state. All right. What were we gonna talk about? Anyways.

ANTHONY 39:22

I'll talk about what we're doing. Well, I was gonna ask, what topics did you have? Yeah.

NALEE 39:25

Yeah, I just have one. Face-to-face conversations. Like, imagine the awkward magic of talking in real life now compared to just fucking like talking, you know, through tech through social media and stuff. Actually, I feel like talking to people in general, it would be awkward, but I feel like it'd be really fun just because I'm like in that stage right now where like people actually I know they do like fast dating or whatever it's called. Minute dating, whatever they speed dating. Minute dating, basically.

ANTHONY 39:56

Minute dating.

NALEE 39:58

But I feel like that would be more normalized. And I feel like it'd be fun. You know what I mean? I don't know. But I feel like for me personally, oh go ahead.

ANTHONY 40:07

No, go ahead.

NALEE 40:08

I was just gonna say for me personally, I don't mind this face-to-face conversation though, because I am a face-to-face person.

ANTHONY 40:15

But I'm oh really? But you're a missionary girl.

NALEE 40:22

Stupid. I like to see what your mama made you to be. The man that you were made to be. But no, I'm seeing that like for me, I get context wrong a lot when like it's messaging and stuff like that. Like I could be like, oh, why is he yelling at me? Or oh, maybe he's pissed off. Compared to if I was just to hear your tone and how you talk, I think it's easier to fill out vibes and energy like face to face and just through text. You know what I mean? Because for me,

Face To Face Dating Without Screens

NALEE 40:50

for me, I I think I've heard it before where like I sound exactly like how I do through text or whatever, but not a lot of people do. Like they would they sound like excited and blah blah blah when they're texting, but when in real life and you meet them, they're just like like you know what I mean? Ugh, yeah. Yeah. So I just feel like that wouldn't be a really big issue for me if it's like obviously dating stuff, but like in general, like if I was to go to the gas station and Patricia wanted to have like a full ass conversation with me, I wouldn't know how to talk myself out of that conversation. I'd be the dumb bitch who would listen to her talk for like two hours and be like, my car has been on for the past two hours, I gotta go, peace out, you know?

ANTHONY 41:33

Okay, first of all, there's nothing worse than that like forced small talk conversation with anybody, especially like random strangers like Patricia at the fucking gas station. Like, you want a box of ho-ho's, go go fucking get a box of ho-ho's. I don't I ain't got time for that shit. I think that face-to-face conversations in this sense, specifically for your situation with like dating, I think would be really ideal and beneficial for all all parties involved.

NALEE 42:08

Yeah.

ANTHONY 42:09

And I think that you're right. It and I feel like most people, you know, would agree with this that we, you know, we every a lot of people work remote. And one of the biggest, like we do, one of the biggest drawbacks is that we're not we communicate with like teams or Zoom messages or Slack messages or whatever. You can't get the right tone. So, like you said, is this person yelling at me? Are they mad? Are they annoyed? Like, yeah, is this meant to come off as bitchy? Because what I send to you, and this is kind of like why I apologized to you earlier. I'm like, and I'm like, I wasn't trying to come off bitchy, is like how you read, how you receive and read the message internally is not always how the original sender intends it.

NALEE 42:58

Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep.

ANTHONY 43:01

So there is a lot lost with it, and so I think that it would be nice to go back to those face-to-face conversations. And especially like during certain situations or certain moments.

NALEE 43:14

Excuse me.

ANTHONY 43:15

Like I was just thinking the other day, like we we I had mentioned before in a previous episode, you know, you go out to eat and it's like prom and you see these high schoolers that are they're out at a group, they're a group at a table, and they're all just like sitting there on their phones, like nobody's talking to each other. And I was thinking just the other day about how I would miss like having those conversations like at the dinner table, or it would be nice.

NALEE 43:41

Yeah, it would be nice. I think that's I'm just gonna bring it back to me again. I don't know if you want did you wanna did you were you gonna say anything else to that?

ANTHONY 43:48

No.

NALEE 43:49

Sorry.

ANTHONY 43:50

Uh oh well, I mean I can add on later if I come up with anything, but okay.

NALEE 43:54

But I was gonna say, like, again, I'm talking about like dating because obviously that's whatever the fuck is happening in my Reality, but like for me, that's also one of my biggest fears, too, though. Like, I it would be nice obviously to have that, but at the same time, because I've been out of it for such a long time, like, what do you talk about now? Like, you know, like what are you talking about now? Like, how I don't want to ask you what your favorite color is, like, I want to jump right into it and be like, okay, are you going to therapy? Are you getting help? You know, like, you know, I want to ask like serious questions, but it's just like, when do those cues come in? Like, how how do I know what to say? I don't know what to ask. You know what I mean? And I feel like that's where the awkward part would be like, okay, I want to ask you this and I want to be honest, but I don't want you to think that I'm some fucking psycho or whatever. You know what I mean? But then again, I don't know. Like when I think about it, if you're scared to answer those type of questions, like that's already a red flag for me. So I don't know. I don't know it, guys.

ANTHONY 44:55

Okay, so in all fairness, but though that's like again, one of the biggest drawbacks with like social media is we've lost the ability as humans to be able to connect without, you know, a third-party app that we're using. But it in reality, if you're having a real conversation with somebody, what what changes? What's the difference? Why can't you ask those questions? Why can't you have that conversation that you would otherwise have via Snapchat with that random guy who sends you dick pics every morning? Like if he's standing in front of you, preferably with clothes on, like what's to stop you from asking those questions that you would normally ask on Snapchat?

NALEE 45:37

I don't know. Because the thing is, like when you are when you're behind a screen, you could say whatever the fuck you want, do whatever the fuck you want. But when you're face to face, like you don't have that luxury. You actually have to either one, be like genuine, or two, like be like fake. I don't know. But you know what I mean? Like it's different when when you're behind a screen. Cause I'm I'm gonna be honest, like for me, I talk a lot of shit. I ask a lot of questions, but when we're face to face, I'm just like he he he. Like, I'm shy. Like, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. Like, you know?

ANTHONY 46:09

Okay. So I feel like this should have been a different episode.

NALEE 46:13

We could we could do another episode too, but for you, we should have one on the date.

ANTHONY 46:18

We'll just do a whole dating episode just for you, and we'll walk through everything.

NALEE 46:24

I don't know. We'll see. We'll see.

ANTHONY 46:26

But I are let me ask you this. So are you more concerned with asking the wrong o questi the wrong question and offending them or crossing a line that they're gonna be turned off by you? And you're more so concerned about the potential fear of like in-person rejection versus hey, if he ghosts me on Snapchat or blocks me on Snapchat, no biggie.

NALEE 46:51

I don't think it's any of that. I think it's just like the fact that I'm meeting somebody new that I completely don't know about. And obviously, from what I've gone through, I like have trust issues. So the way I said that was so weird. But I have trust issues, and so that like to me, anything they say or anything they're going to say, I'm like, you're lying. You know what I mean? So maybe I'm I need to like, you know, I don't know. I need to work at myself. I don't fucking know. But that's my thing is that like for me, face-to-face interaction allows me to remove that insecurity of like, oh, maybe they're lying or maybe they're not. Because you can kind of tell when somebody's lying when they're face to face. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 47:34

Or unless they're really, really good liar, like you could kind of So wait, are you saying that it's easier for you to ask questions in person than it is on social media?

NALEE 47:43

I don't know what I'm saying. I was getting confused because No, I feel like I'm kind of I'm I'm literally the same. I will still ask you stupid questions in your face and be like, what the fuck is this? But what I'm saying is when you are behind a screen, it's easier for you to be nonchalant about it and just like spitfire questions compared to like when you're face to face, I'd still ask the same questions, but at the same time, it's kind of like, okay, is this question appropriate at this time? Or I want to ask you a question, you know what I mean?

ANTHONY 48:20

So give me an example of a question that you would be concerned isn't an appropri isn't appropriate. I don't have any So that's where I'm struggling. I'm trying to understand, like, because if you're on a date with somebody Would you want to ask those questions?

NALEE 48:33

I don't know. I'm no to this. You're not sure. Like what questions though?

ANTHONY 48:36

That's what I'm asking.

NALEE 48:37

Like I feel like I feel like back then mental health would have been a big thing, but now everybody's just kind of into it, you know what I mean? And it's been more like normalized. But I feel like at the same time, it's still a very big like taboo thing to ask that. Oh, like are you going to therapy for something and why are you going to therapy? You know what I mean? Because for me, so like go ahead. Good, go ahead.

ANTHONY 49:01

No, that th that's so are you specifically asking about like or are you specifically referring to questions surrounding mental health?

NALEE 49:08

Yes and no, but in this example, sure, let's go with that. Like asking like their mental health and why they're going for why they're going to therapy for that.

ANTHONY 49:20

Okay. So I'm just gonna offer my two pair of pennies here.

NALEE 49:24

Okay.

ANTHONY 49:24

Specifically regarding mental health and asking somebody about that.

NALEE 49:28

Okay.

ANTHONY 49:29

I think if you're not if you're on your first couple of few dates, okay, you sh it shouldn't be at asked.

NALEE 49:39

You don't think so?

ANTHONY 49:40

No.

NALEE 49:40

Okay.

ANTHONY 49:41

Because that's a really personal thing. What if somebody's going to mental health because their mom used to like pimp them out to be molested for money? I mean, that's a real thing.

NALEE 49:53

I'm not smiling because of the situation. I'm just, I just want to preface, I'm smiling because of reminding of you saying that I pimped out my brother. That's the only relation of this smile, okay? It's nothing in relation to the situation.

ANTHONY 50:07

Your brother's probably getting therapy because you pimped him. No, I'm just kidding. But no, like that that's why I'm saying, like, it could be a really personal thing that they might not feel comfortable sharing with you, especially somebody that they're they've gone on one, two, three dates with. Now, I think if you've been consistently going on dates with somebody, once it becomes official and you guys are exclusive, yeah, then maybe that's time to start tiptoeing into that territory. But like when it comes to mental health, yes, there there's been so many advances in breaking down the stigma aro surrounding it, but there is still that layer of it that you have to respect.

NALEE 50:51

Yeah.

ANTHONY 50:52

It is that person's own individual journey. It's none of your business. It's no different than, you know, we work in the healthcare field. Like, yeah, it's PHI.

NALEE 51:01

Like, I guess that's true. I didn't think of it like that. Like, I don't know. I'm out here fucking asking them like the first 10 questions, like, are you going to therapy? You know?

ANTHONY 51:09

And Yeah, I definitely would not on a first date.

NALEE 51:12

I don't know. As far as I've I'm concerned, the people that I've talked to has been really open about it. So I haven't had anybody who said, the fuck. Like, I'm not gonna tell you my issues, but at the same time, I don't know. It's also that thing of like, are you lying to me? Are you being like honest about it? You know, I don't know.

ANTHONY 51:29

Yeah.

NALEE 51:30

But yeah.

ANTHONY 51:31

And I mean, if it's something that you're really interested in with people that you're dating, yeah, there's nothing to say, like, there's nothing to stop you from being like, you know, if they ask, like, oh, how your day was going and you had a therapy appointment that day, bringing it up and discussing your therapy and your own circumstances and allowing them, like if you're inviting them into that conversation, that's opening the door. And you can kind of feel it out. Whereas maybe they'll be like, Oh, yeah, my therapist last week told me the same damn thing. And then now you have a connection that you can openly discuss or have that conversation.

NALEE 52:11

Does that make me obnoxious then? I feel like I'm like asking, like, I don't know, too many questions then. But I will preface though, like normally before I ask people questions, I would be like, Hey, like I ask a lot of questions because I'm a very curious person. Like, you can answer whatever you feel comfortable, and whatever you don't, it's cool. Like, just say, Oh, I'm not gonna answer that, and I'm fine. So I start off with that first, and then I'd start asking them questions. But at the same time, honestly, yes, this should be a whole uh an another episode on its own. You're right. We may do that, but yeah.

ANTHONY 52:45

I don't think that there's anything wrong with doing it if you preface with that, but I also again, again, my pair of pennies, my personal opinion, you need to lightly tread lightly and like read the room.

NALEE 52:57

Yeah.

ANTHONY 52:57

I guess.

NALEE 52:59

I can't do that. I'm not good at reading the room. You and I both know that.

ANTHONY 53:04

Yeah, you do need a little work on that.

NALEE 53:05

Yeah, I don't know.

ANTHONY 53:07

Um I was but I wouldn't I also date one, I wouldn't come out swinging with being like, so are you in therapy? What's your issues? What's your diagnosis? Like, not on date one, boo. Maybe how about how about on date one you start with, where are you from? Like, what do you do for fun? Like, do you have a big family? What are your hobbies? Like getting to know them versus especially if you know this is really not on topic at all.

NALEE 53:37

It's not.

ANTHONY 53:39

Especially with like you, you had mentioned like you're starting to get into the dating scene. You're not looking for anything serious. If you're not looking for anything serious, their mental health problems should be the the le like the furthest thing from you.

NALEE 53:54

Like that's so true.

ANTHONY 53:56

Do they want kids? Do they want a house in the country? You're not looking for anything serious. What the fuck does it matter if they want kids?

NALEE 54:02

What if I am serious?

ANTHONY 54:04

What if? I don't know. And if you are, then that's fine. That changes the circumstances and then that that changes the questions that you should be involving and incorporating in your dating life.

NALEE 54:16

Are you my therapist today?

ANTHONY 54:18

I feel like it. I'll send you an invoice, don't worry.

NALEE 54:21

Okay. Are you my L S D M D A therapist today?

ANTHONY 54:26

L S D M S C M S W B L P D.

NALEE 54:32

Yes. B B C D B D E. Okay. Send me an invoice. I'll pay you.

ANTHONY 54:39

No, but that's all just that's that's all just my opinion. Obviously, people are gonna have different views on it, and you do whatever works for you, but Damn, it just got real fucking bright in here. Lucky. It's cloudy as fuck here.

NALEE 54:51

That's what you get, bitch. Okay, let's go. I wish I had hair.

ANTHONY 55:00

I would just put hair up and be like, what?

NALEE 55:02

Let's stay on topic. We haven't even talked about the other one. Sorry. Back on to tr our track, or oh my god, back, you know what?

ANTHONY 55:09

Back on track?

NALEE 55:10

Back on track. Let's get back on track. Okay, what is your your topic? That was the only one that I had.

ANTHONY 55:16

Okay. So again, we're talking about life actually happening offline. Granted, it wasn't social media related. I'm just gonna start with like the whole 2020 like COVID like global pandemic thing.

NALEE 55:30

I miss COVID.

ANTHONY 55:31

Thank you. I miss COVID. I learned so many things. Not the disease, but like that was a hard pass for me.

NALEE 55:39

The lifestyle of COVID. I fucking miss that.

ANTHONY 55:42

Yeah. The world slowed down. We really like it.

NALEE 55:46

We was really looking up for people.

ANTHONY 55:48

Yeah, it really was. And now we're just like slap it in the face.

NALEE 55:53

Yeah.

ANTHONY 55:54

But like rediscovering old hobbies, like if we didn't have social media, here's your perfect opportunity to learn things. Like learn some crafts, learn a language, go outside, pick up. Like I picked up gardening. I built those bird houses that I built.

NALEE 56:08

You got busy.

ANTHONY 56:08

Again, granted, it wasn't social media, but like that was gone. But like this it this would be the opportunity, not having social media. Like, do all the things that you wouldn't otherwise normally do because you'd be inside scrolling on TikTok or scrolling on Facebook.

NALEE 56:24

Yeah.

ANTHONY 56:24

Go outside, go for a walk, go grounding, touch some grass, like fucking throw up an easel in your backyard and paint the sky for crying out loud. Like, you used to paint. Do you still paint? Have you painted?

NALEE 56:38

Not right now. Literally, I have so much shit that I don't even want to do anything. Any art crafts hobby. I almost don't even want clothes anymore. I just want to throw it all away. You know, like, but no, I haven't painted in a long time. I think the last thing that I painted was for my sister's birthday. I didn't even get to finish it because of all the shit that happened.

ANTHONY 56:58

You didn't finish it?

NALEE 56:59

No, I didn't. It was it was really pretty, but I threw it away because yeah. Just threw it away. I just threw it away. But yeah, I do miss pinting painting. Painting. I haven't done that in a while. Um I actually high right now? What the fuck is going on? What is painting? What's painting? Is that a thing?

ANTHONY 57:18

You tell me. You said it.

NALEE 57:19

Oh, I'm in painting. Paint.

ANTHONY 57:23

Ain't sounded out.

NALEE 57:25

Paint painting. Yeah, but yeah, I haven't done that in a while. I kind of even nails, like I haven't done nails in a while too.

ANTHONY 57:34

So Yeah, you haven't posted anything for a long time.

NALEE 57:37

I mean, I have nail stuff, like nail content. I just haven't posted because

COVID Reset And Hobbies Over Scrolling

NALEE 57:42

your girl be exhausted. Like, I just did my nails. These are regular, like red bottom, black on top nails, but I didn't even post it because I'm just like, I ain't got time. Like, yeah. I think I got the lazy ghost in me. I don't know what's going on here.

ANTHONY 58:01

I th yeah. I don't know. I think it's just that time of the year. We're in that transitional phase for us.

NALEE 58:08

Yeah, it's an off day for me for sure. Sorry guys.

ANTHONY 58:11

Yeah.

NALEE 58:12

But what what else are we gonna talk about?

ANTHONY 58:15

Let's get back to your dating life. No, I'm just kidding.

NALEE 58:18

We could in another episode. Maybe I'll share some some fun stuff that's happened. But yeah.

ANTHONY 58:25

Yeah, I th I think that that would be a really good episode, just in general, for for anybody.

NALEE 58:30

Okay.

ANTHONY 58:32

But no, I think if social media went away, I think that that's just I would like to think that think of it as like a reset option, like the reset button for society. And you know, and like with anything, there's gonna be multiple stages. The first stage is gonna be the immediate immediate panic, like, oh no, what do we do? How is my life gonna go on?

NALEE 58:52

Yeah.

ANTHONY 58:53

And then we just learn to we're humans, we adapt, we learn to maneuver with what we have in front of us and what we have, you know, at our fingertips.

NALEE 59:03

Yeah, for sure. Like, and I think that's what we're talking about, is COVID was definitely a reset for all of us too, I feel like. For a moment in time.

ANTHONY 59:11

For a moment in time. For a moment in time, yes, it was. It was really nice, it was really good. The world slowed down. I I'm starting, like I re- I I saw this thing the other day that said, I'm pretty sure we all died in 2020. Oh, yeah. Now we're like this is hell.

NALEE 59:35

Yeah.

ANTHONY 59:35

Like everything that's going on in the world, it's like whoever didn't die is definitely in hell.

NALEE 59:42

And you and I, yeah, baby.

ANTHONY 59:44

I think we're in hell.

NALEE 59:45

We're definitely in hell.

ANTHONY 59:47

Yeah.

NALEE 59:48

Yeah. Whoever died, those bitches got lucky. That's all I gotta say.

ANTHONY 59:53

Yeah, it's it's sad to say, but like it's it's rough out here in the streets.

NALEE 1:00:00

Yeah, I was gonna say it's rough in these streets. Damn.

ANTHONY 1:00:03

Yeah, exactly. But yeah, so that's all that I had for that segment was you know, rediscover old hobbies, go outside, enjoy some grass. Some grass, enjoy the birds. You know, I know you and you make fun of me and Courtney for watching. Okay, you know what?

NALEE 1:00:21

I will have to say in this, I'm not gonna say this again, it's not gonna be repeated. I have enjoyed your bird photos. They're really cute. There. I said it. I'm becoming old. There I like it. That's it.

ANTHONY 1:00:33

Now I want you to get your ass outside, get yourself a pair of binoculars, go watch your own damn birds. Send us to be a big one.

NALEE 1:00:39

You gotta tell me to stock the birds? I don't think so. I stock something else.

ANTHONY 1:00:43

Just wait. I'll have to find the picture that I have of the two birds fucking.

NALEE 1:00:46

Okay, so what were we talking about again before my thing rudely dyed on us?

ANTHONY 1:00:51

Getting outside.

NALEE 1:00:51

Oh yeah, getting outside COVID. Yeah, I I do enjoy your bird photos. But I was gonna say, imagine if I got binoculars for birds, but I didn't actually use it for birds and I used it for something else.

ANTHONY 1:01:03

Oh my god. I'm gonna find you on the news one night and I'm gonna get a call in the middle of the night that you need bail money.

NALEE 1:01:11

What would he be for? What did I do?

ANTHONY 1:01:13

Peeping Tom. Is that what you're talking about doing with binoculars?

NALEE 1:01:16

No.

ANTHONY 1:01:16

Oh, whoa, per you. What were you talking about?

NALEE 1:01:20

Whoa. Just kidding, that's exactly what we're talking about.

ANTHONY 1:01:22

What was I supposed to think? He said, What if I bought binoculars and I used it for something other than bird watching?

NALEE 1:01:28

That's exactly what I was talking about. I am a peeping tom. If I had the opportunity, I would peep.

ANTHONY 1:01:34

I can't.

NALEE 1:01:34

Who wouldn't peep at a penis or a boob or a butt? Y'all bitches are telling me that if you had the opportunity to look at somebody who is naked, you wouldn't look at it. I would not. I would.

ANTHONY 1:01:49

They're in the privacy of their own home. You would use binoculars to peek into their windows.

NALEE 1:01:53

I'm just kidding, I'm not. This could be used for criminal offense. I am just kidding. I am a child of God. I would never do that. I would never do that.

ANTHONY 1:02:03

You're not a child of God.

NALEE 1:02:04

I too am a child of God. The Lord has blessed me with his strength to use thy binoculars to see thy neighbor.

ANTHONY 1:02:13

This bitch. If I wanted to see naked people, I would just go to a nude beach.

NALEE 1:02:18

If I wanted to see naked people, I would just watch porn. That's technically a pain because you're peeping it through your phone. But it's too fine.

ANTHONY 1:02:25

Except they want you to look.

NALEE 1:02:26

I guess that's true.

ANTHONY 1:02:27

I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if I should put this out there.

NALEE 1:02:31

Put it out there. Stay with your chest. I might raise no bitch. Stay with your chest.

ANTHONY 1:02:36

Sometimes I will like change in my bedroom with like the curtains open.

NALEE 1:02:42

Okay. Where's this going? To see if people are looking at you?

ANTHONY 1:02:49

Yeah, I specifically do it to see if they're looking at me. I stand in front of the window and I go.

NALEE 1:02:52

Wait, are you serious?

ANTHONY 1:02:54

No.

NALEE 1:02:54

I can't tell if you're lying anymore. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I would worry.

unknown 1:03:01

Go out.

ANTHONY 1:03:02

How can you not tell?

NALEE 1:03:03

I was just kidding. Go on.

ANTHONY 1:03:06

There was that year that you would come over and like you would always come to the back door.

NALEE 1:03:14

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:03:15

Do you remember that? You would like walk through along the side of the house. Yeah. And you're like going to the backyard.

NALEE 1:03:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

ANTHONY 1:03:21

And so there were there's always like a fear that I'm like, what if I'm like I'm happen to be changing right as you like walk by my window.

NALEE 1:03:30

So you were afraid of me specifically?

ANTHONY 1:03:32

Well, no, just anybody, but like you're the only person that would like walk past my window. Or there were there were a couple times where I would like get out of the shower and I would like change in my room or get dressed in my room or towel dry in my room. And like there was one day that I remember the the I don't know, the city hall people or whatever, they came over to like check the water meter or some shit like that.

NALEE 1:03:57

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:03:57

And so they like walked right past my window, and it was like, I was like, okay, hey, how you doing?

NALEE 1:04:03

How you doing?

ANTHONY 1:04:05

How you doing? Yeah.

NALEE 1:04:06

You're like, look at me, look at me, touch the whole wear, wink, wang, wang.

ANTHONY 1:04:11

Rush to like close the curtain.

NALEE 1:04:13

Yeah. But I think I've done that before.

ANTHONY 1:04:16

How did we even get here?

NALEE 1:04:17

I have no clue.

ANTHONY 1:04:18

We went from bird watching to dirty pee pee tomming.

NALEE 1:04:23

Yeah. How do we get anywhere? How do we get anything anywhere? With this whole thing.

ANTHONY 1:04:28

This is gonna be a epis a spiraled episode for sure.

NALEE 1:04:32

Yeah. How do we get anything anywhere? Literally.

ANTHONY 1:04:34

Good luck following us, Feth.

NALEE 1:04:41

But yeah, I think I have that fear too. I think I have that fear too. Like sometimes when I like like you know, sometimes like when I used to live in an apartment and then now I live in an apartment again, but sometimes I forget that I have the blinds open and I forget that people could still see through the window. Like up, you know? And so then like sometimes I'd be changing it, I'd literally be like right in front of the fucking window, and I'd be like buck ass naked, and then I'd be like, what am I doing? Yep. I'm in front of a window. Like move your ass over there, you know what I mean? So I get it. I've done it.

ANTHONY 1:05:15

I I am at some point, it's on my list. Have you seen that there's like a film that you can buy to put on your windows?

NALEE 1:05:26

Oh, okay.

ANTHONY 1:05:26

And it makes it so like people can't look in, but you can look out.

NALEE 1:05:30

I think there is, but I don't know if it actually works. Does it work?

ANTHONY 1:05:34

I don't know. I think that I'm gonna it's on my list. I'm gonna buy some at some point.

NALEE 1:05:38

And I'm gonna Oh, I know that I had that at my old house. You know how like I don't know if you've gone to my bathroom before, but the previous owner had put that on our window, but I don't know if yeah, I don't know if it actually works. And then Yeah, I don't know. But that's cool. Good to know.

ANTHONY 1:05:55

I would love that.

NALEE 1:05:56

Yeah, if it works, let me know. I should probably buy some for mine too.

ANTHONY 1:05:59

Yeah. I will.

NALEE 1:06:00

Do we even want to still talk about social media anymore at this point? What's going on?

ANTHONY 1:06:05

At this point, we're really not talking much about it. As I was just about to tangent off and change the subject again.

NALEE 1:06:12

Go, go.

ANTHONY 1:06:13

Would you ever go to a nude beach?

NALEE 1:06:14

I would totally go to a nude beach.

ANTHONY 1:06:16

Would you?

NALEE 1:06:17

I would. I wouldn't be nude, but I go to the nude beach to go see new people.

ANTHONY 1:06:21

Well, that's what I meant. Like, would you go and be nude?

NALEE 1:06:24

I feel like after my tits are done and I do my like surgery, yeah, hell yeah. I'd be running in the fucking breeze. I'd be like, look at me.

ANTHONY 1:06:32

Well she's gonna be like Baywatch, Pam Anderson who?

NALEE 1:06:37

Yes. Exactly. I don't know. I feel like I could see you at a nude beach, though. I'm not gonna lie. I feel like you would go to a nude beach. I feel like you would.

ANTHONY 1:06:45

I feel like I would, but I feel like I I'm like you. Like I wouldn't be nude, at least not right away.

NALEE 1:06:50

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:06:51

I'd be like Or like a nudist resort.

NALEE 1:06:54

Yeah. There's a nudist resort?

ANTHONY 1:06:56

Yeah.

NALEE 1:06:57

What the fuck? Are you serious?

ANTHONY 1:06:59

Yeah.

NALEE 1:07:00

That's crazy. They've had them for like how do people not fuck? How do people just not fuck?

ANTHONY 1:07:05

Who's to say that they don't fuck?

NALEE 1:07:07

That's insane.

ANTHONY 1:07:08

See, and if you watch Gold Okay, this goes to show how old nudist resorts are.

NALEE 1:07:12

I am flat ready.

ANTHONY 1:07:13

There's an episode, there's an episode of the Golden Girls where they go stay at a nudist resort.

NALEE 1:07:20

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:07:20

So that's how long they've been around. It's nothing new.

NALEE 1:07:24

That is crazy. Yeah. I feel like I would, I feel like now that I'm single, I would definitely go to a nudist resort for sure. I'd be like, bend and snap and see who comes and bend and snap me, you know?

ANTHONY 1:07:37

You want to see who comes?

NALEE 1:07:38

Yep. Definitely.

ANTHONY 1:07:39

You're never gonna see it coming.

NALEE 1:07:41

Yes. Stupid.

ANTHONY 1:07:46

The only okay, the what I feel, in my humble opinion, I think is the a downfall from like a nudist resort or nudist colony or nude beach. And maybe this reflects more on me, but like how I you get horny, you're fine walking down the beach. You're fine walking around the nudist colony or nudist campground or whatever.

NALEE 1:08:09

Oh, you're gonna have a big boner in your pants.

ANTHONY 1:08:13

I guess I can't imagine just like walking down the beach with a fucking boner. Just like Yeah. You know what, you know what I mean?

NALEE 1:08:21

You gotta be holding your thing with you as you go. You're gonna be like, oh shit.

ANTHONY 1:08:27

Like I didn't need a s I didn't need a scarf today.

NALEE 1:08:31

You got yourself a popsicle stick.

ANTHONY 1:08:36

But like, but seriously though, like I wonder I wonder if that happens.

NALEE 1:08:41

I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, and first of all, you seeing that it's not a problem for women. You know, we get moist down there. Hello? Thighs rub, it hurts. Hello. So technically technically you can't see, but we could be in pain.

ANTHONY 1:08:57

That's okay. So we're comparing you being in pain walking down the beach to somebody walking down to a guy walking down the beach with a heart on.

NALEE 1:09:04

I am I am. You know what? Okay, more power to you if your dig is hard. I'm

Nude Beach Logic And Human Awkwardness

NALEE 1:09:09

just saying. What if somebody runs up to you and just accidentally opens their mouth and lands on it? See? There's a positive to that. There's a positive to that.

ANTHONY 1:09:17

You're married. Like what if they're married?

NALEE 1:09:20

Then if I was his wife. Who would do that?

ANTHONY 1:09:22

Who would do that? If you were walking on a beach, a nudist beach, and a guy was walking down there with a hard on, I can't even say in his pants, because it's a nude beach, and you were like, oh my god, he's so hot. Oh my god, that dick is so hot. Would you just go and drop to your knees in front of him and start slobbing on it?

NALEE 1:09:37

Can't can't confirm nor deny this. I have to see it, do it. Oh. I'll have to see it. I'll have to see it and be like, hmm, what would I do in this situation?

ANTHONY 1:09:47

Have to inspect it?

NALEE 1:09:49

Yeah, I probably wouldn't suck it. We're not gonna go here. Next.

ANTHONY 1:09:52

Oh my god. All right. Anyways.

NALEE 1:09:56

Anyways.

ANTHONY 1:09:57

Is there anything else you would like to add for what?

NALEE 1:09:59

No, no, no, that's it. That's it. But I think you had something that you wanted to touch on before we ended this episode. So go on. That's it.

ANTHONY 1:10:05

We still have another segment.

NALEE 1:10:06

Oh.

ANTHONY 1:10:07

That was only segment two, hoe? Okay. Alright. So did you have anything else to add to segment two? Any of those?

NALEE 1:10:17

I do not. That is it for me. What about you?

ANTHONY 1:10:20

I do not. Now that we're done talking about nude camps, let's move on to segment three.

unknown 1:10:28

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:10:29

We kind of touch base on this, but would we survive or just adapt? Hobbies can be rediscovered. You can meet new neighbors. But now what?

NALEE 1:10:38

Could humanity actually survive offline or are we doomed? And I'm just saying, if we're doomed, we are some dumbass bitches. That's all I gotta say. But go on.

ANTHONY 1:10:48

Yes. No, that's ex- I completely agree with you. If we honestly, if social media were to end and peep anybody who's out there that is like, oh, the world's over. I can no longer live. Alright, well, find a cliff and jump.

NALEE 1:11:05

Literally. Find a cliff and jump. Bitch, let me just push you. Shut the fuck up and let me just push you. Let me let me help you help yourself. Let me just push you.

ANTHONY 1:11:15

Let me help you. Come here. Let me help you.

NALEE 1:11:17

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:11:18

Anthony has a few words for you. But seriously though, like, let's talk about the adaptation of this and the chaos that's gonna come with it. What did you have for our final segment?

NALEE 1:11:31

For me, I just had one topic that I wanted to talk about is adapting work life. Like I I feel like for me, because you know, we work remote, and I probably shouldn't say this on this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. But like, you know, working remote, I think it's easier for you to I don't know, check your social media. You don't have to put it away. You have the luxury of having your phone right there. And sometimes, like when you want to buy time or you want to like, I don't know, quickly check your social media or whatever, and now you don't have it. Like now I'm gonna end up actually having to finish my Sudoku book. You know what I mean? Instead of like checking out.

ANTHONY 1:12:12

Oh, I thought you I thought you were gonna say now you're gonna have to end up actually having to focus on work.

NALEE 1:12:17

Oh, wow. I focus on work very well, sir.

ANTHONY 1:12:21

No, not that you don't focus on work. I just I wasn't expecting a Sudoku book book to come out.

NALEE 1:12:26

No, no, no. Mm-hmm.

ANTHONY 1:12:28

You used to love doing Sudoku books.

NALEE 1:12:29

I mean, I love doing Sudoku books. I have like four on my desk dam. I haven't even touched it because now, like, again, we have social media. It that keeps me busy. You know what I mean? And it's so easy, like you said, to just doom scroll to kind of keep things going. Or like, you know, when we work at home and I finish on my chores and I got nothing to do and I don't want to nap. Like, what am I gonna do then? Just stare myself in the mirror, probably. But at the same time, it's just like it would be sad if there was no social media. I will say that. But bitch, if you're telling me that I would die without social media, I deserve to die.

ANTHONY 1:13:02

That part. You said the quiet part out loud, yes. You would easily adapt though, right? Yeah, I probably like it would just be a short transition phase. For sure, yeah. Oh, Jesus.

NALEE 1:13:14

Yeah. Honestly, I'm just I'm gonna be honest now. Who la da knowing who I am now, if there was no social media, I'd honestly be off the grid. You by you probably wouldn't even know what the fuck I'm doing. I'd

Work Life Without Apps And Flip Phones

NALEE 1:13:26

be like gone. Because even through text, I barely text people. I barely check in. I'm really bad at that. Like I'm really bad at checking in and I'm like trying to improve on that. Same. But yeah, if there was no social media and I really don't actually need to touch my phone, I don't think that like people would think that I'm alive. Yeah, that's it.

ANTHONY 1:13:47

Yeah, I think if you ever stopped responding to my text messages, I would you know, same thing, like you said this uh a couple episodes ago that you would like show up at my door. I would probably do the same. I'd I would welfare check, like something's not right. Yeah.

NALEE 1:14:05

But yeah, yeah, I would definitely adapt. But yeah. But think about like LinkedIn or like, you know, all those other apps that they use. I hate LinkedIn. Do you? Yeah, I hate it. I mean, I don't really know how to touch it, but Courtney helped me get my life together on LinkedIn. But oh, did she? Kind of, yeah. She was just like, hey, like you need to get it together. And so I'm like, okay, fine, I'll look at it and fix it up.

ANTHONY 1:14:29

No, I'm gonna have to go and look at it tonight.

NALEE 1:14:31

Yeah. But yeah, I mean that's that's pretty much all I had to say was just like things like LinkedIn or I don't know, Indeed, or stuff like that. Like, you know how like they do commercials on Facebook or Instagram and stuff like that. Like, imagine how little like traffic they'd get for people who actually just wants to sign up for work and stuff like that. You know what I mean? So I think it'll affect them for sure. But as far as like me personally when I'm working, I don't think it's obviously it's gonna be like, ugh, what do I do now? Man, that's such a fucking first world problem. But still, like, you know, like you would just find an alternative. You just adapt and finally finish the fucking Sudoku book or like whatever crossword puzzle you were doing. You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 1:15:16

Yeah.

NALEE 1:15:16

Yeah. What about you?

ANTHONY 1:15:21

I think I misunderstood the assignment. I didn't realize that we were talking specifically about like career social networking at bat.

NALEE 1:15:32

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:15:33

Yeah.

NALEE 1:15:33

Yeah. It's okay, I forgive you. I'm not the only one drawing today.

ANTHONY 1:15:37

No, no. It's been a day. It's been a day, Johnny. Adapting, work life. I don't know what else that I have to add to that other than I think the adapting is gonna be a short transition. And I agree with you that if anybody's not able to adapt, like find a cliff, find a bridge.

NALEE 1:15:58

Like I'll provide a list of cliffs and mountains that you can climb off.

ANTHONY 1:16:03

Yeah. It's it's unfortunate to say, but it it's that's the society and the world that we live in now is that we're so used to instantaneous gratification and social media. And I think Okay, let me ask you this. What are your thoughts on this? I think that one way to meet in the middle that would be a really good medium, middle point for everything in not necessarily getting rid of social media, but limiting social media from a standpoint of right now, if you want to check Facebook, what do you do?

NALEE 1:16:38

Click on the app, scroll.

ANTHONY 1:16:40

On your phone, right? Yeah. Why don't let's go back to flip phones? Like, let's go back to you want to check your Facebook, you have to be at home on a desktop computer or laptop computer, and you have to go to the website and you have to actually log in and do that.

NALEE 1:16:56

But then cheaters wouldn't be able to cheat anymore like that.

ANTHONY 1:16:58

Oh, shucks. What would happen in the world? It would be a better place. Sounds like a fucking them problem. But like this. Okay. So here's my question to you. Okay. Is it that social media is truly detrimental to society, or is it the fact that social media is easily accessible in the palm of our hand whenever we want it?

NALEE 1:17:20

I think it's both. Yeah. Both. Yeah, because you still have Yeah, because you're still like regardless, you still have access to it. Like whether it's on your phone, it's on your computer, you go to the library.

ANTHONY 1:17:32

It's still I'm saying from a I'm saying from a standpoint of, so let's say a 17-year-old in high school, right? They don't have a cell phone anymore. You take away their cell phone, they're they can't check Facebook in school. Like I remember the days like going to school before I had a cell phone or when I had a flip phone and I didn't have internet on my phone, I didn't have apps on my phone. I'd go to school. Oh, did you get my message I sent you? I emailed you last night. No, I didn't get it. I had to wait all fucking day. I get done with school. I rush home and log on to the computer before dinner. And like, maybe oh, look, there's the email. You know what I mean? Like they have to wait. It's not instant.

NALEE 1:18:18

Maybe there should be an age limit to phones or like type of phones. You know what I mean? Like, I'm just saying that, like, for example, like what?

ANTHONY 1:18:26

You know how I feel about kids. I have opinions on that. But nobody needs a cell phone under the age of 15. And that's being a good thing.

NALEE 1:18:33

But I'm just I'm just saying that, like, and if they if the parents is their excuse is that like I need access to my kid to know where they're at, buy a fucking ear tag. Buy a fucking, I don't know, something to like track them. Like, you know, like you don't need to know where they're at, but or you don't need to talk to them, but just I don't know, put a thing on them, stuff it up their ass or something. I don't fucking know. Well, like even okay.

ANTHONY 1:19:00

So or the the argument, well, what if they, you know, their bus breaks down and they're gonna be late and they need to get a hold of me. Okay, they're you I'm sure they still exist, but they do you remember the Frogger phone?

NALEE 1:19:12

Pagers?

ANTHONY 1:19:12

No, it was a phone. I don't know. I think it still exists. It's it's a cell phone for kids. It has a 911 button and a call home button. That's all. Oh, that's all there's no screen, you can't download apps. It's just a phone with like two or three buttons. Call home, call 911. Like, bring that shit back. Like, bring back a flip phone. Like, I would love give me my old BlackBerry back.

NALEE 1:19:38

Yeah. And I feel like that would solve like little kids' iPad, like iPad iPad kids. You know, like they have the actual that's them, like they're iPad kids. I think that would help with that situation. You know, like you've seen kids who can't fucking go a day without iPads and shit. You know what I mean? I feel like that would help. But you know what? I don't know. More power to you guys. It's your kids. Do what you want. I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:20:02

But But don't come crying when they're 33, living in your basement, playing video games in the dark.

NALEE 1:20:09

Being a fucking loser.

ANTHONY 1:20:11

Okay, I see the correlation and where you were going at that, not what I was going for or what I meant by that.

NALEE 1:20:16

But I mean what? It's it's not that it's not that they become a loser. I'm just saying that like Sometimes they do. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. But I'm just saying that like it'll help you manage your you know what? I'm not your mom. If you want a cliff, I'll give a I'll give you a list. If you can't live without social media, I can't help you. I'm so sorry. Sorry for your loss if that's the case. I don't fucking know.

ANTHONY 1:20:41

You do you boo.

NALEE 1:20:42

You do you boo. That's all I'm gonna say.

ANTHONY 1:20:44

You do you boo.

NALEE 1:20:45

Yeah. Make sure I'm on your life insurance, though. That's all I gotta say.

ANTHONY 1:20:49

I agree with that. And I think that without social media, we'd just we'd really have a good mental like health reset. I mean, think about it. No more comparing, no more constantly logging in to be like, oh, where did Nolly go today? What did Nolly eat for dinner today?

NALEE 1:21:08

Or like I think that it would just be This reminds me of so I don't know who it was. He's like supposed to be like a famous guy because he was like on the Jimmy Fallon show or whatever. And they were talking about him not having social media, right? And he said, Yeah, well, I don't have social media because social media ruined everything for me. Like, what if I wanted to go to Mount Rushmore and I wanted to go experience it, but now everybody's taking videos of it, everybody's taking photos of it, and then when I go, I don't have that excitement anymore because I've already seen it on my phone or on social media. Like it takes the enjoyment and the excitement out of going out there and trying to go see it compared to if he just doesn't have social media and he goes, he gets that firsthand experience, not from Sally Sue or Polly Pocket over here.

ANTHONY 1:21:58

Oh, that's that's true. Excuse me. That's true, and that's a really good valid point. The only thing that I'm gonna argue on that one though is like regardless of seeing pictures, and I'm thinking of Mount Rushmore for your example, regardless of seeing pictures, being there is going to be a thousand percent different.

NALEE 1:22:16

Yeah, that's true, but it's still kind of you know what I mean?

ANTHONY 1:22:18

Like that whole m yeah. But I I completely agree with I can see how social media has ruined the excitement of Yeah, I'm yeah, that was I was yeah, I don't know what the fuck I'm saying.

NALEE 1:22:33

But anyways, that's my yeah, yeah. That's my topic. What was your topic?

ANTHONY 1:22:39

Um well mine, I just I feel like I just tangented off on it. It was just, you know, the mental health reset. And I think that having known after we go through the phase of freaking out, oh my god, we don't have social media, and then we go through the phase of learning to adapt to live life without social media, I think it's just gonna be a mental health reset for everybody. It's almost like getting back to basics.

NALEE 1:23:03

Yeah. Which some of us fucking need that shit.

ANTHONY 1:23:08

I I a thousand percent agree with that. And also on that note, you had made the comment about, you know, maybe we need an age limit on phones. Maybe we need an age limit on certain social media platforms.

NALEE 1:23:24

Maybe. But then you can't do that because people could just lie about their fucking ages when they sign up for the fucking account.

ANTHONY 1:23:30

Yeah, I thought about this. That there are ways that they can this is gonna sound really bad, but there are ways that like the government Yeah. Yeah, make it so you want to sign up for this platform. There could be a database or a system that has like your driver's license number or your passport number or something that confirms who you are and your date of birth.

NALEE 1:23:55

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:23:56

You know, I mean, we I don't know who did it, who invented it, whoever invented that fucking blue check mark on social media so that people can be verified. Okay, well, make it so that you can be verified as an adult.

NALEE 1:24:13

Like I don't under it's one of those things where it's like that again. I want to see it again.

ANTHONY 1:24:17

Verified.

NALEE 1:24:22

But it's one of those things where in my mind Yeah it's this is movie phone.

ANTHONY 1:24:29

Verified.

NALEE 1:24:31

But it's one of those things in my mind where like glasses are fogging up because it's so funny.

ANTHONY 1:24:36

I get why there are questions or why people are saying, well, we can't do this or this. But I also don't get why can't you do it? You did this, which is completely sit like you did the whole verified check mark, which theoretically is would be the exact same thing. So why can't you do it? What's stopping you from what's stopping somebody, government organization or something, from implementing this? Why is it that six-year-olds are getting on Facebook or TikTok and making TikTok videos?

NALEE 1:25:05

I was gonna suggest the having a time, like a time limit, like, oh, from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., it's available. But I just thought about it, it'll probably crash. So I don't think that's like doable. I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:25:21

Would it though?

NALEE 1:25:22

I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:25:22

I mean, we don't know until we try, right?

NALEE 1:25:24

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:25:24

But that was with time limit things, like when you were a kid, like let me rephrase this. I remember when I was a kid, like having a computer, like it was in the family room. It was con monitored, it was controlled by parents, like well, maybe not so much in my household, but that was another thing. But we just don't have some of that same stuff anymore. And it's it's scary how easy it is for and how knowledgeable they are for like a five-year-old to literally like I give my phone to a five-year-old, they could probably fucking create their own account for Instagram or log into their account that they already have on my phone. And it's like, bro, you're five. Like seriously?

NALEE 1:26:08

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:26:09

And then the last thing that I'm gonna say on this, and this is really gonna date me and age me here. When I signed up for Facebook back in the day, you had to be a college student.

NALEE 1:26:20

Did you?

ANTHONY 1:26:21

Or let me rephrase that. You had to be a student. You had to have a.edu email address.

NALEE 1:26:26

Oh, oh my God, that is so right. Oh my God, that is so true. Holy shit, I forgot about that. Yo, this is deja vu right now. But yeah. Oh my God, I for totally forgot about that.

ANTHONY 1:26:38

And then they opened it up, and now look what happens. Now we live in a society where uh fucking Vashal in India has 1800 accounts on Facebook with fake different profiles that are being bot automated and generating bot bullshit in my news feed. Like, this is why society is going downhill because social media has just opened up. Any Tom Dick and Harry can push any sort of propaganda out there. And it's sad.

NALEE 1:27:12

Oh my god, I totally forgot about that. I remember like I still think about that. Yeah, that's in mind blown. I totally forgot about that. Yeah. Okay, well, yeah, I mean, I don't have anything else to add to that. The only other thing is again, I've said it throughout this episode. If you feel like you can't live without social media, maybe you shouldn't live. I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:27:37

But yeah, find that cliff, find that bridge.

NALEE 1:27:40

I'll I'll send you a list.

ANTHONY 1:27:42

But catch some air.

NALEE 1:27:44

Yes. Hug some air.

ANTHONY 1:27:47

Hug some air.

NALEE 1:27:48

Hug some air. Yeah. Yeah, that that's all I gotta say. I think, yes, I think social media has helped a lot of people get jobs because. You know, have a lifestyle around it. But regardless of all that, like it's not that big a deal. You know, like it ain't that it ain't that serious, you know, but I guess I can't say because I'm not an influencer and I don't make big bank, I don't make a lot of money. So I guess I can't say that it's not everything. But as a nine to five hoe, yeah, it it hasn't really made an impact on me. I can live without it. I've lived without it before. You can too. You can too.

ANTHONY 1:28:32

I agree with you. I and it's funny that this was today's episode because I was just thinking about this the other night. I've been going back and forth with like deleting Facebook or removing Facebook. I think maybe I should just remove it from like my cell phone. Yeah, I agree. You don't need it. You don't need to live without it, or you don't need to live with it. And if you can't live and if you can't live without it, go hug a bridge. Go hug some air.

NALEE 1:28:57

Hug the air. Hug the ear in mid-air.

ANTHONY 1:29:00

Hug the air in mid-air.

NALEE 1:29:02

Yeah. All right, but I think we have something exciting, right? Coming up in a little bit here. Exciting.

ANTHONY 1:29:08

I think it's exciting. You can let me know what you Sorry.

NALEE 1:29:11

The sunlight is hitting me at a weird fucking angle because you look beautiful.

ANTHONY 1:29:16

You look golden.

NALEE 1:29:18

Thank you. I'll be your golden hour. Okay.

ANTHONY 1:29:21

I have a comment, but I'm not gonna say it. Okay.

NALEE 1:29:23

What? Say it. We got say it.

ANTHONY 1:29:25

No, I'm not no, nope.

NALEE 1:29:27

Is it inappropriate?

ANTHONY 1:29:29

Yeah. Yeah. What is it? I'll text to you. It's fine. Okay.

NALEE 1:29:32

They want to hear it. Let them hear it.

ANTHONY 1:29:34

No, it's just it's an inside joke. It's an inside joke.

NALEE 1:29:37

Okay, so they wouldn't get it. Okay, go on. You guys wouldn't get it. Sorry. You're not. You can't you're not a kid. Sorry. You can't sit with us.

ANTHONY 1:29:44

Sorry, 18 listeners. Maybe if you uh liked, commented, subscribed, and shared more, and you help us increase from 18 to let's make a goal by the end of the year. We want to be at 50 followers.

NALEE 1:29:58

Well, we're at 47. So that's gonna happen. Let's do a bigger number. Let's do 75.

ANTHONY 1:30:02

I thought we were at 18.

NALEE 1:30:04

No, we are we're 47.

ANTHONY 1:30:07

Or are we okay? Let's do a bigger number.

ANTHONY 1:31:03

So So I will read it and we will discuss. And again, there's no name with this, so our listeners are going to be.

NALEE 1:31:12

Is this like a question or is this like a hey, I'm sharing it with you guys, kind of a fan mail?

ANTHONY 1:31:16

There is a question in it.

NALEE 1:31:18

Okay. All right. So I'm just again.

unknown 1:31:21

Yes.

NALEE 1:31:21

Oh, go ahead. I was just gonna say again, a disclaimer. If it's when fan mail comes in and you guys are asking us a question, we meant we mean no offense. Whatever we say is our own opinion. We are entitled to our own opinion. And yeah, so just a disclaimer out there.

ANTHONY 1:31:38

And you should know by now that we're gonna be blunt, opinionated, yeah, and honest. And I hope that's why y'all keep coming back for more.

NALEE 1:31:46

And the 18 of you guys in Virginia.

ANTHONY 1:31:49

Like we well, we've said before. If you don't like what you're listening to, if you don't like it, change the channel. I'm just gonna say it. I'm just gonna say it. It's it is no offense, so don't take offense.

NALEE 1:32:05

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:32:06

You came to us. You brought your question to us, so you want our answer, so you're either gonna like it and listen to it, or you're not gonna like it, and you'll come back the next week and listen to a new episode. Yeah.

NALEE 1:32:20

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:32:20

Okay, so this fan is anonymous. Okay. We're going to call them Clovis.

NALEE 1:32:30

I'm gonna remember that name. Clovis, okay.

ANTHONY 1:32:32

Clovis. So I'm just gonna read here, and you're gonna have to bear with me because I don't know if it has something to do with how they sent it in or how they typed it in, or if maybe, and no offense if this is person is listening, maybe this was bot generated. But there are some weird symbols in the message, so I have to decipher through those. I'm assuming that it they they were meant to be apostrophes, but we'll figure it out.

NALEE 1:32:58

Okay.

ANTHONY 1:32:58

Okay. So Clovis says, I hope this doesn't come off so high school and overly dramatic, but I could use some advice. See? Again, right there. Clovis is asking for it.

NALEE 1:33:10

You asked Clovis.

ANTHONY 1:33:11

You asked. I need to know if I'm overthinking things. There's a new girl in my friend group, and she's really great, smart, and emotionally balanced. She loves the she loves the things that I love. We have a similar sense of humor. She could easily be my new bestie. Lately, I've noticed that whenever my boyfriend and I have minor arguments, she tends to side with him. Whether it's about him parking over the parking lot line, she'll say, Oh, it's not that bad. It feels like she's always in agreement

Fan Mail: Friend Siding With Boyfriend

ANTHONY 1:33:46

with his perspective. I get that playing devil's advocate, this bitch is trying to, she's just trying to come from me. I get that playing devil's advocate can be helpful for someone to reflect on their behavior. But I don't think I'm reacting inappropriately, especially when most of the time I'm just, especially when most of the time I just neg my boyfriend. It's his and mine's sense of humor. We play and mess with each other, and she ruins it by butting in and saying, Well, I agree with him. No matter the scenario. An exaggerated example would be if I say I like chocolate and he says he doesn't, she'll say, Oh, I hate chocolate too. Is she trying to get close to my boyfriend? Is it just a matter of her personality? Is she a pick me? Or could there be a deeper issue? By the way, she's married. Just to clarify, negging to us means we exaggerate what bothers us about the other person, but we know we still love each other. Like I would say, oh my god, I hate when you do this, but I secretly think it's cute, and he knows I think it's cute, and we poke fun at each other. That's the that's the end of it. What are what are your thoughts on this? On the friend. Do you think that she's trying to get close to her Clovis' boyfriend? Do you think it's just her personality?

NALEE 1:35:21

Alright, Clovis. I'm gonna give it to you straight. This bitch is trying to fuck your man. That's all I'm gonna say. First of all, hold on. Let me connect.

ANTHONY 1:35:32

Do you think she's trying to fuck her man? She's married.

NALEE 1:35:35

Okay, like that's ever stopped anybody. True. What the fuck? I'm a little triggered, but I'm just saying that, like, Clovis, baby girl. Here, mama's gonna tell you. Mama's gonna teach you. When it comes to your friend, mind you, a married friend, and they're trying to agree with everything that your man is saying and they're not agreeing with you, girl, that's the biggest red flag. Like, that's the biggest red flag to me. Like, if your spider scents aren't fucking tangling from inside and out, and you aren't growing your own fucking legs at the back of you from the way that she's acting, I don't know what's going on. And the thing too is being me, like I being a former married person or whatever, right? If if I was to hang out with m like my my friends, my friend and her boyfriend or whatever, right? And if I do see that, oh, maybe whatever he's saying is correct, yeah, I would agree, but not with everything. Like, there's no way I agree with everything that he does. Cause I'm gonna defend my girl. I'm gonna defend her, and I'm gonna be like, hold up, hold up. You may be right, but you gotta hear my girl out. You know, like it's it's kind of that kind of I don't know how to say it, but that fluidity or whatever. But I feel like in this situation, like she's trying to get at your man, girl. Like through and through. What's the saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, girl. This is a pure example of that.

ANTHONY 1:37:00

And I thought you were gonna say once a hoe, always a hoe.

NALEE 1:37:03

That too. Through and through. But still. No, I think it's I think if if you cause the thing is, here's the thing. Here's the thing. If you feel it, it is what it is. If you, if if your friend was still agreeing with your man and you didn't feel like, oh, you know what? They're just they're just bros. Like they, they just like, they're just getting along and shit, and they're just trying to like get along or whatever, you won't feel that. But if you feel that tension, an ounce of like something's going on or something's fishy, if you get that girl, that's your intuition telling you that this is snakey, that she a snake, and she's a pick me girl and she's coming for your man, no matter if she's married or not. Girl, I'm telling you right now, sorry my face is itchy. If they want your man, they're gonna do whatever the fuck they want. Like, all I'm saying is protect your foundation before you protect other people. Of course, holes before bros, but in this situation, I don't think she's I don't think she's one of your hoe. I think she's a snake trying to get at your man. And again, like if she's agreeing with everything that he's saying and you obviously feel that, they're girl, nah. No. If you leave them alone together, I guarantee you shit's gonna happen and your friendship's probably gonna break up, you're probably gonna break up with your boyfriend, and that bitch is gonna be divorced and he she's gonna be with your man. That's all I'm saying. However, I will go ahead.

ANTHONY 1:38:20

No, go ahead.

NALEE 1:38:21

Oh, I was gonna say, however, if she is trying to like get with your man and your man isn't entertaining it either, then I think you should be fine. But if your man is entertaining that as well, where he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, see, she agrees with me, boo, blah, then girl, you got two things coming for you. Yo man and this bitch. And I again, I I'm not saying that she's not, I'm not saying that she is a bitch. I'm just saying that like look at you backpedaling. I'm just saying that you gotta watch out. Like, again, you gotta watch out. That's all I'm saying. Like, just hearing the whole scenario, like, my intuition is telling me, yeah, the whole the whole bag wants the whole bag your man. That's all I'm saying. That's my opinion. That's how Nollie sees it. Anthony, what about you?

ANTHONY 1:39:06

I agree with you with respect to if she is agreeing, if she's siding with him every single time, 100% of the time. She ain't your she ain't a girl's girl. She ain't your friend.

NALEE 1:39:21

Yes, that's exactly.

ANTHONY 1:39:23

She's trying to suck your man's dick. There's no way. Holly, have I 100% of the time sided with you when you were married?

NALEE 1:39:30

I don't know. Being a girl's girl, like, that's one of the biggest things. Like, he she cannot agree on everything that he's saying.

ANTHONY 1:39:39

Oh, yeah, that and I had asked you, how many times in the time that I've known you, did I did I always agree with you? Was it a hundred percent of the time?

NALEE 1:39:52

No, but there were times where you did agree with me. Yeah, I call bitch a bitch.

ANTHONY 1:39:56

Oh yeah, there were times, but there were also times where I was like, Nolly, no, B is right, right?

NALEE 1:40:01

Yeah, yeah.

ANTHONY 1:40:03

So the fact that she's a hundred percent of the time siding with him, she wants to suck his dick.

NALEE 1:40:09

Yeah, she wants to dick, girl.

ANTHONY 1:40:11

That's and bottom line. Bottom line, and I say trust your intuition, trust your gut on that. Like if you're feeling something is off, like just the fact that you're even like questioning, like, yeah, that's lean into it. Trust your gut. And question. I hope Clovis is listening because I want them to write in if they are. I want them to write back in and I want them to answer my question. I maybe I'm reading too much into this, but so I'm reading this, so it's so it's a new girl in your friend group. Why is she always hanging out with you and your boyfriend? Where her husband at?

NALEE 1:40:53

Exactly.

ANTHONY 1:40:54

Where he why ain't he around? Why isn't she hanging out with him?

NALEE 1:40:57

Granted, granted, I'm gonna say I think I'm just gonna defend this bitch girl for two seconds. Like, if her man doesn't come around, that's what it it's it is what it is. It's fine. But again, like why does she want to hang around you when you're with your man though? Like, why can't it just be you and her? You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 1:41:15

Yeah, that's the second part of the question I was gonna bring up, too.

NALEE 1:41:17

Sorry.

ANTHONY 1:41:18

No, you're fine. That's I wanna know where where her husband at? Why aren't you and her hanging out? Why is it you, her, and your boyfriend?

NALEE 1:41:27

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It sounds really fishy. Again, I'm gonna like piggyback on what Anthony said. Girl, if it smells fishy, it's fishy. That's all it is. And again, trust your intuition if it's telling you that, like, oh, this is kind of weird. And if you had to write this to us, that's ready your intuition telling you that this bitch wants to bag your man. She wants to teabag him, girl. Do you want her to teabag your man or do you not want her to teabag your man? That's the real question. And again, if your man is entertaining this, then he's got to go. Because clearly he he got something else going on.

ANTHONY 1:42:03

But if he's I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't go that far because it does feel good to get extra attention from people. Yeah. So you can't you can't wholeheartedly blame him, especially when, from the sounds of the story, it does sound like it's like innocent play, where I'll be the first to admit it, I'm a guy. Guys are dumb. Like, we don't always pick up on shit.

NALEE 1:42:25

Guys are fucking dumb.

ANTHONY 1:42:26

So for all from his standpoint, all he knows is she's just being really nice. But the minute she starts like, the minute she starts like and putting her hand on his knee or on his shoulder.

NALEE 1:42:36

Clovis' man. Jamse. And if he if it ain't clocking for him at that point, then and he continues to entertain it, then Clovis needs to start like, bitch, you need to put your foot down, you need to let your man know what's But I was also gonna say, you should maybe not like directly bring it up to him, but casually be like, hey, like, do you feel comfortable with my friends around? Like, do you feel like she's a little too much? Or do you feel like it's the dynamic is weird? Like, and see what he says. Now, if he's like, Yeah, she's fucking weird, like I don't know why she does that, okay. That's your that's your go. That's your indicator. She gas to go. But if he's like, oh no, like I didn't even see it like that, then that's when you kind of back the fuck up and you evaluate your friendship with this girl. All I'm gonna say is there's a lot go ahead.

ANTHONY 1:43:24

I'm agreeing with you.

NALEE 1:43:24

Oh yeah, and I was just gonna say, there are plenty of girls out there that you will get along with, but you can tell that the energy is genuine. You could tell that they're they're supposed to be in your life. But when you start questioning, especially and I'm talking, I'm coming from a girl's standpoint, when you feel it, girl, you'll know. Like you'll know that, oh yeah, these are my bitches, they're my hoes, they're gonna be my friends through and through. We're gonna be, you know, what is it? What do I always say? We're ride or dies, you know. But if you already feel an inkling, because that's the most sub that's like the touchest subject when it comes to friendship, is you don't fuck with each other's mans. And you guys know how I feel about this. Your friends should never ever have anything to do with your man, because that clearly is a betrayal, they're not your friend. And again, if you're already feeling that inkly, girl, listen to it. Like that's your intuition telling you that it's that it's stank. It's stank, and you gotta get rid of the stank.

ANTHONY 1:44:24

And I just want to throw out there, you had made the comment that, like, if Clovis somehow incorporates or has the conversation with her boyfriend and he's like, she's whack, she's weird. That's not necessarily saying like you need to end your friendship with this girl because you're saying that you have so much in common. You know, she you really feel like you'd be really good friends. You don't need to end your friendship, but maybe that's the point that you need to take a step back and be like, hey, you and I are gonna go out to dinner. You and I are gonna go to a movie. Boundary. Create a boundary. You ain't gonna you ain't gonna be hanging around her your man. Like, yeah.

NALEE 1:44:57

And you don't gotta tell her that. You don't gotta be like, oh, well, we're not hanging out with my man's anymore. Just be like, hey, you know what? He's not gonna be around. It's just me and you. Or whenever she's like, what about your man? Yeah, exactly. Just be like, no, it's just gonna be me. And that also will be your cue of like, is she does she actually want to hang out with me or does she want to hang out with my man?

ANTHONY 1:45:16

I was just gonna say it. If she starts being like, well, why aren't why why isn't he coming along? Why isn't he gonna be there? Bitch, what the hell does it matter? You want my friendship or you want his dick? Because right now it sounded like you want his dick.

NALEE 1:45:29

Yes. And if you want advice on how to cut, girl, we got you. Come even closer. We got you.

ANTHONY 1:45:36

Even closer. Like, comment, subscribe, send us another fan mail. We get to you.

NALEE 1:45:41

Yeah, we got you, girl. We got you.

ANTHONY 1:45:43

We got you.

NALEE 1:45:45

But okay, so overall, last comments on this, last advice on this. What is your advice?

ANTHONY 1:45:52

My advice is to, like you said, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, follow your gut, read the signs, read the room. Like, is she wanting to hang out with you or is she wanting to hang out with your boyfriend? Like you can see it. And I think one thing that is important to note that I didn't really pick up in this fan mail or this scenario, like, how is she doing it? Because there's the difference between playing devil's advocate seriously. Cause I'm a professional at that. And there's a difference in just agreeing with your boyfriend. Like, that's not necessarily playing devil's advocate. That's just being a big agreeing to just Yeah.

unknown 1:46:30

Yeah.

NALEE 1:46:30

You're disagreeing just to agree or whatever the fuck.

ANTHONY 1:46:32

Yeah.

NALEE 1:46:33

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:46:34

So yeah, that's that's mine. What's your final?

NALEE 1:46:38

My final is give her the benefit of the doubt that she's not trying to get on your man's dick. But again, I think what I would firstly do is talk to your boyfriend, fill him out, see what the situation is there, see how he feels about it. And then if one, if he says, yeah, she's weird, yes, you don't necessarily have to cut it off, but create a boundary for sure. If he's like, no, like I don't feel weird, I think it's fine, then that's for you again to draw that boundary and determine if you want to deal with this for the rest of your friendship, honestly. Because that's that's what it is. If you are willing to settle to be like in the middle, and if this man is somebody you see yourself being with for a long term, and this is a girl you see yourself being friends with and for a long term, just prepare it to continuously be in this state of unash like unawareness. Cause I don't know about Anthony. I think he's more friendly than I am, but I don't fuck with people like that. Like if I feel any in any instance of like betrayal or being suspicious or like you're being a snake, I don't I don't fuck with that. I cut it out immediately because why would I waste my time having to get emotionally invested in somebody who's who I know is already suspicious to me. Yeah. So and honestly, energy does not energy is never wrong. So, you know, like feed into that, feel into that, I don't know. But all I gotta say is I don't think this girl is really your friend from the way that we see it, you know. Obviously from what you've shared with us, I don't feel like that's what friends do. Cause I would never do that to my friends. Like I have had friends when I'm when I was married and I had friends like, for example, like me and Anzi and Brennan, right? Ansie and Brennan, they were a girlfriend and boyfriend. They just recently got married in last September. But like, we're really cool. Like I see him as my bro, and like we would agree on stuff, and then sometimes I'd be like, girl, chill. But then at the same time, I'm like, but hold up, my girl has a point too. Like, I will always be in agreement with my girl first, and then I would be, or I would be like, hey, give her a chance to kind of explain herself, and then I would be like, Yeah, but I do agree with you, and that's it. Like, it doesn't have to be anything beyond that. You know what I mean? And so if it's that kind of energy, then maybe it's not a big deal, and maybe yeah, you are overthinking it. But if it's like every time, like what you're saying, then girl, she's gotta go.

ANTHONY 1:49:06

Yeah, if it's a hundred percent of the time, bottom line, that's fishy as fuck.

NALEE 1:49:10

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:49:10

How are you my friend, but you're not gonna agree with me at all? Ever.

NALEE 1:49:14

Or how are you not gonna stick up for me? Like, you could say, like, oh, you know what, I think you're wrong. I do agree with him, but girl, it's okay. Your point is valid. Like, reassure you. You know what I mean? Yeah. But at the same time, I just have one last thing to add. For me, like, I am a very blunt person. I am like, I don't like being confrontational, but I am for a purpose. Reason being, again, is that I don't fuck with people that I feel that are suspicious and are gonna waste my time and my energy because my energy and my pieces it's expensive. Like this pussy pricey. She got things to do, you know. She got things like my energy is precious to me because I don't just hand it out to everybody. That being said, let's do it. That being said. You made me lose my train of thought. What the fuck did I do? You s you smirked at me. That's what you did. I saw you. But I I'm just saying. You wanna know why? Hold on. I will back to what I was saying because I just remembered it. Your energy is important, your time is important, and investing it in somebody who you already are doubting is not worth it. Because in the long run, you're gonna continuously have that doubt in your head. You're gonna continuously look for cues to prove to you that, oh, they're not uh they're they're exactly who you you say they are, they're exactly who you think they are. On the flip side, where you could just be like, okay, you know what? I don't, I'm not really feeling this. That's it. You know what I mean? But you do it what you wanna do. You do your boo. Again, I think my bottom line is just I don't think she's your friend, but have a conversation with her. Oh, sorry, that's where I was going. See, scattered minded. But what I was saying was if you really feel like this is weird, have a talk with her. Go to the source and be like, hey, like, do you have a thing for my man? Or, you know, like what's going on? Like, I, you know, tell her and be like, you know, I feel a little uncomfortable when you're always agreeing with my my my boyfriend. Like, what is that about? Can you kind of explain that to me? And just again, go to the source and be like, hey, what's up? And put her on check. Let her explain her actions instead of assuming all of this, go to her and see what she says. You know what I mean? And I feel like when it comes to a person who's really your friend who's a girl's girl, they will do everything in their power to show to you that hey, that wasn't even it. Like, I was just trying to like be chill compared to a girl. Like, if they get pissed, yes, I think they might get upset that, oh, like I don't I didn't think that you would ever think that I'm like that. But at the same time, they would be like, hey, you know what? I I I see that. Like they keep they take accountability for what they did and they reassure you that hey, that's that's not what it was. And that's that's how I would approach it.

ANTHONY 1:51:58

So And maybe even like I don't know if I would necessarily agree with approaching it, like just call point blank calling her out, with especially without any like hardproof evidence or supporting. Like right now, all she has to go off of is the gut feeling, right? And things that she's seeing and how she feels. Well, so maybe even just like maybe even play it off like jokingly, like, why are you always agreeing with him?

NALEE 1:52:25

Or like, Gary, do you got a thing for my man? Like, what's going on? You know what I mean?

ANTHONY 1:52:29

Yeah, like make it a joke and see how she reacts to it.

NALEE 1:52:32

Yeah. But what I'm saying is I would go straight to the source, regardless. Like, I wouldn't. That's usually, I don't know. I mean, I have evidence that I have friends for a long time. I have long-term friends, and that's just who I am. I go straight to the source. If I feel weird, if I feel uncomfortable, I'm gonna go to her and be like, hey, like, again, you can make a joke out of it, but I'm more of a serious person when it comes to my man. Like, I'm not gonna joke about it. Cause I'm fucking him.

ANTHONY 1:52:59

Just like just to clarify, when I said joke about it, I meant like I didn't mean literally joke about it, but play it off as a joke so that you're not just coming in like putting them on pointing fingers and like throwing accusations around.

NALEE 1:53:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but of course, like don't be like, I know you I know you have a thing from a man. No, don't do that. Just be like, like what Anthony said, or like what I said, just kind of jokingly say, girl, you got a thing from my man, what's going on? And then start the conversation there if you could if the vibe is there where you know you feel like you could talk to them neutrally. But again, it always is best to go to the source and then go from there. But I would ask your boyfriend first, see how he feels, and then go to her and ask her about it. I don't know. Sorry, our advice is all over the place. You take it with what you will.

ANTHONY 1:53:46

Yeah, I hope that you're able to take something from this.

NALEE 1:53:49

Yeah. And other than the yeah.

ANTHONY 1:53:51

The last thing that I'm gonna say is just tell you the reason that I was smirking, because I have to do this.

NALEE 1:53:57

Okay, fine. What were you smoking? Smirking.

ANTHONY 1:54:00

Do you had said something about your energy is expensive.

NALEE 1:54:07

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:54:08

And I was like, are you quoting Taylor Swift right now?

NALEE 1:54:12

Why does she say that?

ANTHONY 1:54:13

She just went viral recently because she was on a show, I think, and and she was doing an interview, and she was quoted as saying, you should think of your energy as this, as if it's expensive, as if it's a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it.

NALEE 1:54:28

Oh, I didn't that I just made up on my own. I didn't know that.

ANTHONY 1:54:32

I thought that you were quoting Taylor Swift, so I was like, No, I actually I'm so proud of you. You should have took credit for it. I'm just kidding.

NALEE 1:54:40

But no, I just said that on my own.

ANTHONY 1:54:42

Your energy is a very you hit it right on the head. It's a very good quote, and it's it's a good way to think.

NALEE 1:54:49

Bitch, that's my quote. She said it differently. I said that energy is expensive. She said it whatever she said. This is me. Pan pending.

ANTHONY 1:54:56

Think of your energy as a successor.

NALEE 1:54:59

But, anyways, your energy is expensive. Your time is expensive, your peace is expensive. So, girl. Value. You know what yeah, you know what to do. Honestly, at the end of the day, I feel like when people ask for advice, they already know what they need to do, but they're just looking for validation. And I'm validating the fact that you need to put this bitch on check. That's awesome.

ANTHONY 1:55:19

100% because I will openly admit to that. I will ask for advice, opinions, and it's like, I'm just looking for validation. I've already it's like when I asked you about that, or when we were discussing that thing in November, and you were and uh, you know, you know, like this.

NALEE 1:55:37

You've probably already made up your mind.

ANTHONY 1:55:39

You already you already made up your mind. You already knew what you were gonna do. It did I could have himself could have stood in front of the movie.

NALEE 1:55:48

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:55:49

Yeah. Yeah.

NALEE 1:55:50

So you know what to do. You know what to do. You know how you feel about it. We are validating the fact that yes, you need to talk about the situation because that's too suspicious.

ANTHONY 1:56:00

Yeah, I agree.

NALEE 1:56:02

Look at us. We're getting asked for advice. Therapizing. I love this, Lorez.

ANTHONY 1:56:09

As she sh Yeah. Welcome to our OnlyFans, everyone, as she's shimming her tatas.

NALEE 1:56:15

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:56:17

Yeah. Come back, let us know what happens. We're interested in the world.

NALEE 1:56:22

I want to know what happens. Yeah, we are invested.

ANTHONY 1:56:24

Yeah.

NALEE 1:56:25

What was her name? Clementine? Clovis.

ANTHONY 1:56:28

NALEE 1:56:29

Clovis. Return. Clementine.

ANTHONY 1:56:32

I like Clementine better.

NALEE 1:56:33

Clementine's cute.

ANTHONY 1:56:34

Yeah.

NALEE 1:56:35

But yeah, let us know what happens. We would love to hear back from you.

ANTHONY 1:56:39

Yeah.

NALEE 1:56:39

We could let us know if we were wrong. Let us know if she actually was a good person. I don't know.

ANTHONY 1:56:44

But anybody else, if you guys We probably just blew up a whole fucking friendship and relationship.

NALEE 1:56:49

You know what? We said what we said. This is our opinion. This is twin tangents. We said what we said.

ANTHONY 1:56:55

Look at the bright side. Social media still exists. Then you can just jump on hinge.

NALEE 1:56:59

Exactly. Bitch.

ANTHONY 1:57:01

But it wasn't a bad thing. I was just trying to tie back into our episode.

NALEE 1:57:06

Trying to circle it back. I get it.

ANTHONY 1:57:08

Yeah.

NALEE 1:57:09

But yeah, if you guys have any other stuff, anybody out there, any other like people, listener who wants our advice, our unsolicitous, unsolicited, oh my god.

ANTHONY 1:57:20

Oh my god.

NALEE 1:57:20

Unsolicited.

unknown 1:57:21

Oh no. Oh no.

ANTHONY 1:57:23

Unless unsolicited.

NALEE 1:57:25

Un solicited. Did I say right? Unsolicited? Yep. Yeah. Unsolicited advice from our MDA L S D degree. Yeah. Write us a fan mail and we discuss it and we'll see if me and Anthony are in agreement to it or if we are disagree, we disagree on it. And yeah, it was I like this fan mail. That was fun. Yeah. Thank you for writing in.

ANTHONY 1:57:47

Yeah, this was a good one too. I loved reading that one.

NALEE 1:57:49

And no, it was not high school at all, girl. It was not.

ANTHONY 1:57:52

So not high school.

NALEE 1:57:55

Yeah.

ANTHONY 1:57:55

I think what your friend is doing is high school by agreeing with your boyfriend 100%.

NALEE 1:57:59

I think what your friend is being is being a hoe, but Yeah, she she a hoe for show. Yeah. But, anyways, what do we learn if social media vanish tomorrow or some bitch is trying to get to your man?

ANTHONY 1:58:12

We panic, cry, and maybe try to breathe after we throat punch that bitch.

NALEE 1:58:19

Anyways, some would thrive after we throat punch that bitch or others others would star in a horror movie called No Wi-Fi.

ANTHONY 1:58:30

Offline mess.

NALEE 1:58:35

Yep.

ANTHONY 1:58:36

Offline life is messy, chaotic, and maybe kind of amazing. And for those people who are starring in their own horror story called No Wi-Fi, find a fucking bridge.

NALEE 1:58:47

Hug some air in mid-air. But anyways.

ANTHONY 1:58:50

Splat.

NALEE 1:58:51

Yeah, so maybe instead of doom scrolling tonight, talk to a human, talk to your man, talk to a bird, talk to us, write us the fan mail. Because we understand that. Yeah, we understand. It's terrifying. We know.

ANTHONY 1:59:05

Or at least go look out a window for five seconds and ground yourself.

NALEE 1:59:10

Yes. Anyways, thanks for surviving this chaotic ass fuck episode with us.

ANTHONY 1:59:15

And this was a chaotic tangent.

NALEE 1:59:17

Yeah, it was. And listening to us tangent on about like a whole bunch of shit.

ANTHONY 1:59:22

But but as you could tell, we're obviously still unhinged, still chaotic, and still twin tangents.

NALEE 1:59:29

Bye. Bye.
