Tell me if you want me if I'm all there. I will be your friend. It also starts like a weird like 70s, 80s. It's false gaudy. It's false gaudy. I feel like you're single-handedly going to like boost her stream. Please. Please. Listen to Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen. Part three comes out in October.

But here I come, I'ma hijack you. hijack you I love you ah making the most of the night ah okay next your type so I can't talk about this song um without seriously like you know what Brett like this is your song you think because this is mine okay and we have very similar tastes yeah we do I can't talk about this song like without being dramatic like and I understand I've spoken about every track with being dramatic.

32:41Yeah. I don't know how to like tell you about this song. Okay. So she's saying, I'm not the type of girl for you. I'm not going. Oh, she's saying like, I have a crush on this guy. Okay. But I'm not his type, but I don't want to be your fucking friend. Like, I don't want to be your friend. I want to fuck you. Okay. And I'm not your type. So do I just kill myself or what? Carly Rae Jepsen is our modern day Robin. Totally. You think? I know so. I know so. And people are going to be like, he's wrong. I don't care. No, I think you're right. I'm right. I think you're right. That's my declaration. Yeah.

33:32Yeah. Your type is dancing on my own. Damn, really? So your type is my favorite song. Like when she dropped it live, I literally like moaned. Like I was like, oh my God, I knew every word. Like, I'm not the type of girl for you, but I'm not. And I'm not going to pretend that I'm the type of girl you call more than a friend. Yeah, I break all the rules for you. Break my heart and say, come on, start again. I'm not the type of girl you call more than a friend. What? I'll make time for you. Time for you. Ooh. I'll make time for you. Okay, next. That was really good. Thanks. Let's get lost. Okay. I like this one.

34:22I like it. I liked it last night. Okay. It's good. It's just like, you know, there is no filler on this. It's just not for me. Okay. But I know it's objectively really good. Okay. Is this too much for you? No, I'm honestly really enjoying this. I'm really enjoying this. Okay, LA hallucinations. That's what you think I'll like. So I didn't appreciate the song in full until last night. Dreams are, top, deep, ropes up, rock, rain. Can't stop, so you get enough. There's a Blake Black hole in my, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I say stop, like. Yes. She shouts out BuzzFeed, like millennial queen.

34:58Like, she's literally like. BuzzFeed Buzzers and TMZ Crows. Shut up. And she's like, save me from these LA hallucinations. Damn. And Max saves you from yours. So fucking true. He does. Oh my God, it's the best song ever. When it was, I was literally like. Okay, I want to listen to this album. She's like, you're like, oh. Okay, next, Manny, I'll let you take this one away. Warm Blood, literally best song ever made. It's amazing. It starts. It literally starts like that in an amazing way. Okay. The guy standing in front of us turned around and screamed, this is my favorite. And I said, this is my favorite.

35:34And then we clutched hands. I'm telling you, like, before you die, see Carly Rae Jepsen live. Emotion part three comes out in October. Do not be behind on the train. Do not make stupid decisions. I don't know how to explain it. Did she even do Call Me Maybe last night? No. Good. She doesn't have to. Oh, wait. No, no, no. She did. She did. She did. Sorry. She did. It's because that was when I was getting merch. But no one came to see Call Me Maybe. You're like, oh, the Call Me Maybe girl? Put some motherfucking respect on her name. That's what you're doing right now. Don't cut a bit of this. You're educating.

36:15If you get bored, log off. Actually, don't. But I, like, I, like. Carly Rae. My girl. Your girl. And by the way, not even that this is the point, but she looked fucking amazing last night. Love. Like, she still had the bangs. Yes. Of course. But she debuted a new hair color. Blonde or what? Like, reddish. No, so Carly Rae is like, that's Manny's religion. Yeah. Like, I didn't know she debuted a new hair color. Wow. And you know who else I recently got you into, Brett? Audrey Hoppert? Well, that could - Don't even talk to me about her. I love her. No, like Manny? I love her. Manny, we congratulate you.

36:59Manny, I've been listening to the album. It's all I've been listening to. And I know you've been - Literally, I'm sorry. Rivals emotion. It's close. It is close. Are you serious? They're different, okay? They're different. Audrey Hobart's is more - I relate more to Audrey Hobart's. Like, on a relating level, like, I relate it. Once I relate to it. Because sometimes I, like, listen to songs and I don't, like, listen to the lyrics. You know what I mean? So I'm, like, not really, like - I'm just, like, singing. No, yeah. Once you told me, like, the meaning of Sex and the City, I was like oh like I get why I like it.

37:30Why you relate to it. I think that. So Sex and the City is about going to a bar. You said it yourself. Not hooking up with someone and going in a new burlo. You fucking said it yourself. And once you said it I was like oh. No yes. I don't even watch Sex and the City and that song. Like I like in the car you know. Thirst Trap is probably my favorite or Drive. I'm taking Thirst Trap in the middle of the city. The difference, and I will let it be known right now, between Audrey Hobart and Carly Rae Jepsen, Audrey Hobart is not underrated. Everyone is like, can universally agree it is incredible. Yeah.

38:07When emotion came out, no one knew. I didn't know. I didn't know. Right. I didn't know. I had to be taught. Yeah. Okay? Who introduced you? I follow a lot of music critics. Yeah. On like, I like the Swiftologist, Will Talks Music. Yeah. Like, I follow a bunch of. But it was in college. Yeah. And one of them popped up on my TikTok. Okay. And they were like, where have you been? And I was like, wait, what are they talking about? Because, like, if you're telling me that there's some universally acclaimed pop album that I don't know about, like, I'm first in line. Yeah. I'm cutting people in line.

38:42I will say, like, you've been an early adapter of a lot of pop girls. Charlie XCX, too. Okay. So, thank you. I technically was not early to Charlie. I actually technically was late. But you were early for all of our friends. For everyone else. Yeah. You were early for everyone. Because I came to her for Crash. Which was technically like, oh, you're hopping on. So before Brat, she had Crash. And I really hopped on the Charlie train during Crash. Yeah. And everyone was like, oh, you're hopping on during Crash. Like, you're not a real angel. Who was saying that? Charlie XCX fans. They're like, you, like, you weren't here.

39:20And they were right. I wasn't. But now I can say I was there for all the people that hopped on during Brat. Sweating. But you know who recently I put you on to? Megan Roney? Yes. Yes. And how much do you love her? I am addicted to her. I mean, she's performing to 15 ,000 people screaming her lyrics, but I foresee her having like a before he cheats moment. I think so too. I mean, so many of her songs are so good. Like Indifferent is so good. It's banger after motherfucking banger. Yeah. Hair Salon, whatever. The hair salon one. I mean, amazing. And so I saw her at WeFest, this music festival in Minnesota.

39:59And it was awesome. And it felt so great to, like, actually know some songs. Because then John Party went on and I was like, I don't know any of these songs. Exactly. He only has one, like, banger, head over boots. And I was too drunk to even enjoy it. Head over boots? Yeah. I'm head over boots for you're the one I want. Head over boots? Oh, because, like, head over heels? Head over heels. clever

40:27I'll give that one to you party John what's his name? John Barty I'm sure he's great disclaimer I'm sure he's great okay should we take a break for a second like maybe get some cool air like dap our faces yeah and when we get back I'll tell you about my skincare routine

40:47we are back yeah and as promised I am gonna deliver my skincare routine. Okay. And I have one recently. I've never had one before. Really? Yeah. Tell. It's the Rode Pineapple Face Wash. Oh yeah, you're addicted. I really want to try it. I have some. I'll try it. I have very sensitive skin. So every time I try, I'm not, this isn't an ad. So I just, I promised you my skincare routine. Yeah. And I've also bought the glazing milk because I saw some men try it on TikTok and they were glowing. You're a Rode stan. I'm a Rode motherfucking stand yeah it's great it's great products that's my skincare routine also i've recently started using aftershave how's that it feels like when you take a mint it's like cold it's really cold yeah max uses it and it smells really good it smells good yeah that's what everyone's saying they love the smell of aftershave so i love the smell of aftershave max aftershave right yeah um so i'm a little hungover from that carly ray talk but i will say we played her LA Hallucinations.

41:46It was really good. Yeah. You need to listen to it in the car. But I also like want to listen to like that, like the album now. Like I want to. Run to my back. Yeah. It's just like each song is so good. It's sometimes hard to appreciate them individually all at the same time. You have to come to each song in your own over time. Okay. Does that make sense? Like, do you know what I mean? That's kind of like folklore and Evermore. Clock it. Yeah. That's why people, when Taylor put out TTPD, each song is objectively amazing. Yeah. I don't care what you have to say. And each song is objectively amazing.

42:21It was so much music at once that it gave people the opportunity to be like, this is bad. Do you know what I mean? But it's not, actually. The TTPD hate pissed me off. Right. It was a tough day. Do you remember when you had your moment with Down Bad? Yeah. And we played it like five fucking times back to back in the car. Because you come to the song when it needs you. Yeah. You come to the song when it needs you. I really agree. The second you clonk it, you're like, oh. Yep. One more time? Yep. One more time? Yep. One more time? Yep. And it happened to me with Daddy I Love, But Daddy I Love Him, which to this day, top five.

43:04Actually, you know what? Let's have a little fun. I'm going to give you my top five. I used to do top three. Let's go top five. Okay. Because I can give it to you. Okay. number one the archer like yes she's not moving yes she's sat she's your number one she sat yeah number two daylight yeah strong I just I can smell the subway I can like I remember the time of my life everyone was still social distancing on the subway like yeah I was my first time back in New York from the pandemic I could like it just means so much to me yeah number two daylight number three but daddy I love him. Are you serious?

43:42Brett. I mean the song's amazing. I mean like Yeah. I don't know how to talk about it. Like that song to me is so important. It's so cinematic. It's also the first time Taylor's clapped back at critics but Taylor's never been like some of you bitches are crazy. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? and gone but daddy I love him she's like stop yeah I love him I don't care I don't care yeah number four call it what you want obviously if you know me you fucking know number five test the damn season no 1989 your top five I love 1989 I thought that's your favorite it is as a whole album I understand but these singles are my favorite songs okay they are my favorite songs and you can come here and you can tell me I'm wrong, I don't really give a fuck.

44:39Yeah. That is my opinion. Yeah. And those are my top five. Okay. I'm trying to think. Yeah, I love 1989, but there's, do you remember my out of the woods phase? Yes, of course. Every motherfucking day. Play it, play it, play it, play it. Yeah. It was like the first time I was ever introduced to a bridge or something. I don't really know what happened. You know what? I remember so vividly of our Taylor Drives in college is when we rediscovered this is why we can't have nice things. And we were driving down Hoover. It was just us two. It was just us two. We were driving down Hoover going back to New Mansion and we were like, this is why we can't have nice things.

45:21Dark. Let out. Because you break them. I have to take them away. This is why we can't have nice things. Huh? Next. Oh, didn't you hear it? All the things you wanted to say. This is why we can't have. Nice things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you know when I really fell in love with that song? What? She closed out the rap tour with it. Yeah. Oh, you know what we didn't do? And people have honestly been asking me when I did Sirius XM interviews. They were like, how are you going to celebrate album release day? We actually celebrate it every time. Usually Julia's here. She's not. Yeah. Maybe she'll fly out.

46:05Yeah, maybe. But we have a set plan every time. Brett, do you want to tell them how we do it? Yeah, so, well, which one should we start with, Red? Okay, so I actually, I was, no, I was, I was not present, okay? Jake missed our fearless Taylor's version. Listen. I regret it every day. I went to Brett's room and I said, are you fucking serious? And she said, I'm not talking to you. I was mad. Yeah. And then. We laugh about it now. And then I said, I was in the serious accent thing. I was like, okay, so we'll do a Taylor workout class. And then I said, holy fuck. No, we won't. You have the marathon the following week.

46:50But for Red, release night because it's 9 p.m. Pacific, which is just like the biggest blessing of living in L.A. Ever. Like if you should move to L.A. for one reason, it's that. It's that. We don't have to stay up until midnight. But we did Shibuya for dinner. I think we should do Shibuya again. I think we should too. But we watch Miss Americana right before it drops. Oh, yeah. I would say we should put on the Aeros tour during the day. Yeah. We'll have the Aeros tour on all day. And then we filmed our reaction to All Too Ultimate version. Now we set up the camera for the whole thing. Yeah. And, no, let's like start out how we're going to do it.

47:24We're going to wake up. We're going to wake up. And we're going to go get our coffee from our favorite coffee place of the month. That is what we are going to do. We also take the day off. Yeah. Yeah. It's a holy day. Yeah. You have Sunday. We have that. Yeah. Like. Yeah. It's a very holy day for us. We'll wake up. Whoa. We've been talking about this for quite some time. We wake up. Yeah. We. We're going to go get coffee. And we start listening to old stuff. Taylor all day. Back in the Taylor's version days. We would listen to the old albums to mourn. Yeah. And we'd be like goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

47:59If we're done. Yeah. Because unlike some of you. we only listen to Taylor's versions when we were told. I would get upset if someone played a non-Taylor's version. Yeah, and then someone once accused me of doing a non-Taylor's version, and I said, do you know me at all? Wait, one time I was tagged in a girl who did Taylor's Song of the Day, and it wasn't Taylor's version. I didn't notice, so I deleted it once I noticed. Can I say, hi, I would have done the same thing. Yeah, thank you. But we'll get coffee, we'll come home, we'll sit, probably have phone time for about three hours. Yeah, we'll need to do a lot to pass the time.

48:32We'll do a pre-ranking, obviously. Pre-ranking, of course. And we'll post that for sure. And then it'll get closer to nine and we'll be like hyperventilating. We'll probably take a nap to pass the time. Yeah. We'll go get dinner at Shibuya. Probably we'll have to leave here at four. Yeah, it's traffic to the valley at that time. It's just diabolical. We'll go to Shibuya at five and then we'll get home. And then we'll put on maybe like a prep tour. No, I don't know if right before the new album drops, I want to listen to old music. Yeah, we can take it back. That's when we do Miss Americana. Yeah.

49:03Okay. Yeah. And then it's album time. And you want to know what I think is so special about the Taylor album releases? It's obviously the night of, but what's honestly even more special is the next fucking morning. Brett, I said that yesterday. I said that yesterday. When you wake up and you're like, oh. I have a full new album. To listen to. Yeah. I have a whole new album. I have 12 new tracks. And something so special happened to me the day after Tortured Poets came out. I was on a fucking walk. I was in my air of stuff. And girls stopped me. They were like, you listening? And I was like, no, I'm fucking listening.

49:38Oh, see, that's community. And it's like, community. That's community. When I was on FaceTime with Brett and Julia and we were waiting for the announcement for the life of a showgirl, this girl came running up to me and was like, wait, you too? And I was like, bitch, me too. Yeah. And like, it's community. It really is. It's going to be really special. And it's really, I mean, it's far away, but it's also right around the corner. I think it's going to get here sooner than we think. Girl, time makes you bolder. Yeah. That didn't make sense. Time makes you what? Time moves fast. Time moves fast as we get older, which is the scary thing.

50:20So, yeah. Should we get into the Tommy What's Wrongs? Yeah. Whoa. I like feel like I'm in a haze. The only thing is I didn't do my top five. Do you think people are going to be like, oh, I want to hear Brett's top five? Yeah. And you know what? That's on me. That's okay. We got carried away. Give it to them. Okay. Well, so here's the thing. Can I go on a little bit of a tangent? Please. Number one used to be Cruel Summer. Number one isn't Cruel Summer anymore? Let me talk about it. It was Cruel Summer before the Cruel Summer Renaissance. and I am so happy that the song got the recognition it deserved because it is such an incredible song but like it was number one when it was like like if you know you know and like it still is but now it's like almost like too too basic to be my number one you know what I mean I get it but it means so much to me right Cruel Summer so like I'm wondering if I can like like put it with all too well to Minivertion.

51:20That's in your top five. I mean, I understand that's in your top five. No, no. All Too Well 10 Minivertion. I feel like it's its own entity with Swifties. A hundred percent. I feel like that's like an understood thing. It's like our top five doesn't include All Too Well 10 Minivertion. It's not fair. Because it's not fair. No other song is 10 minutes. It's its own entity. And it's like, everyone loves it if you're a true Swiftie, but it's like its own entity. So it's not taking a spot in the top five. Right. So what is your top five? Okay. So like, I don't know whether or not to put Cruel Summer.

51:49Just don't. You put it in a different entity. Okay, I put it in. So. But just know that it's number one. Okay, so try to show it as number one. I'm just going to do it. I mean, it's obviously your number one. Cruel Summer. But again, before the Cruel Summer hype. For number two, I'm going to go Delicate. Really? Just because, yes, because I've always really loved it. And it's really special to me and Max. Cute. and um he really liked it and like it like we both listened to it a lot in the beginning stages of our relationship and then it was in his spotify rap top five it was his number four song which made me like literally meld yeah yeah all the time he listens to delicate all the time on his own oh i'll kill myself and exile he likes exile he only likes a few like really like a lot he loves he's like loves that i love taylor but the ones he listens to on his own are delicate don't blame me exile the one um I love the one whatever I think that's it um but anyway okay so delicate three fuck this is so hard I know like it's like I feel like I'm gonna forget things and like um but like low-key for three I think August you love August come on love August yeah You've always loved dogs.

53:11I've always. I'm just trying to get comfortable. No, that's okay. You knew your thing. Keep going. And then number four. I think I'm sick. I think you're sick too. And like, don't get me sick. I know. That's why I'm like. Yeah. You hear it. I hear it. For number four. Style. Totally. I fucking love style. I can't. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. I can't get enough of it. And then for number five. fuck yeah it's hard it's just it's so goddamn hard let me like try to guess your number five yeah do you want to try to guess it because maybe it's something i'm not even fucking thinking about it feels sacrilegious to not put anything from midnights bro but it also feels sacrilegious not put anything from tortured poets

54:02shit do i move style no style needs to stay because i love the pop King of my heart? No, that's not. No. No. I think. Don't just do it to diversify the albums. I'm not. But I'm really thinking. And like, you know what? It might be Down Bad. Really? No, I don't know. Down Bad was really high up there in my Spotify wrapped. And I like realized how much I love the song. Daylight? You love Daylight. Honestly, yeah, daylight. You love daylight. Daylight. Okay. Yeah, okay. Tell me what's wrongs. Yeah. I found a secret Twitter account my boyfriend has for watching spicy content. Should I be upset? We've been together for almost five years, and he made it in January.

54:51I want to bring it up, but I found it by snooping on his phone. Oh, so you, like, can't. When he was asleep, so he will definitely be upset about that. Okay, can I just say, I have only learned in the recent weeks that that stuff exists on Twitter. You didn't know about Twitter porn? No, I didn't know about Twitter porn. See, if you found out by Snoopy, like, it's like, I don't know. It's like, it depends. And, like, you can't know. But, like, I feel like for some guys, like, some porn is, like, normal. Like, watching porn is normal. I don't really. Like, I don't think it's something to be upset about.

55:22Unless he's, like, thinking about, like, watching it all the time. Well, maybe it's because I'm gay. But, like, gay guys watch porn all the time. I feel like a lot of men in general watch porn all the time. I actually think it's, like, slightly an issue. It's an addiction. Yeah. but that's a topic for another time but like i don't know like i obviously like it's just you can't be like i just knew you know what you should do it's just like maybe this is toxic to me but like have him on twitter and then be like like oh what's your other account oh like be like wait can i show you this tweet yeah be like i need to find this account accidentally tap something and then be like what's this Yeah, because you can go through different accounts.

56:04Oh, that's genius, Brett. Thanks. Thanks. Wait, that's genius. And then he can't yell at you for snooping. I mean, I don't have a second Twitter, but I'm pretty sure it's probably just like Instagram and that like there's like a tap and like it switches. So that's what I would do, honestly. Sorry to be shady, but you got to do what you got to do. Yeah. We prescribe vigilante shit. That part. I went out with all my friends to Vegas for my 25th birthday. long story short I blacked out and my friends informed me that I lost all my money like even some of my savings and low key made out slash dance with a male stripper at a club okay well that part sounds fun I'm not single I am not wealthy how do I recover well did you lose the money yes I thought you just said her friends told her like is it for sure gone so she needs to check on that and then um secondly about the male stripper yeah I would feel good about that I think But the first part, like, you know, like, there has been times where I, in college, lost all of my money.

57:08Yeah. And, like, I just had to, like, take a few weeks off. Yeah. And earn it back. And you would. And earn it back. Yeah. Had a fun time. Which done is done. You would, like, be like, I'm not going to get coffee out, like, every day or whatever. Which is, like, my mom will be like, that's not, like, that's bullshit. Or maybe you never didn't get coffee out. Would you, like, what, not get dinner? I wouldn't, like, I would make my friends pay for me. Yeah. I would make my friends pay for me. I would do it. Yeah. So just make your friends pay for you for a few weeks. And be like, and by the way, I'm not paying you back.

57:38Yeah. I also think the second part of that was that she's not single and she made out with the stripper. So she was like cheating on her boyfriend. She's not single. Oh. That's why I'm like. Oh. Oh, okay. So I would address that differently. I'm so sorry. I'm such a bad listener. Yeah. So you're going to have to let your boyfriend know. Yeah, you should let him know. Or girlfriend, but you have to let them know. But it's like, are we sure your friends are telling the truth? I'd be paranoid. I would never lie to someone about that. Yeah, but what if her friends are bad friends?

58:14It's giving like, you were so bad. I hate when people say that. I know. So I'm like. Even if I was, I get it. Yeah. Okay, I understand. Yeah. You were so bad. you were so bad last night. No, like it's giving me PTSD to USC. That is the most threatening sentence in human history. Yeah. Matt, Rogers, and Bowen Yang, if you're listening to this and you still have the, they have a category in the Las Coltresas Awards for most threatening sentence. That. You need to add that. Yeah. You were bad last night. Yeah. Yeah. But I would maybe, I mean, I don't know. Tell your boyfriend. Yeah. Call your girlfriend.

58:56Do you like that song? We're one and the same. My roommate came home absolutely. Oh, and also, obviously, you know what I'm going to prescribe. One, two, three. Wait. Huh? Wait. We're going to prescribe waking up in Vegas. Oh, duh. My roommate by Katy Perry. My roommate came home absolutely obliterated one night at 6 a.m. in the morning. My girlfriend woke me up to the sound of liquid streaming. She made me go check it out. And when I got to my door, there was a huge puddle. I opened my eyes and my roommate was standing there, eyes closed, fully nude and pissing on my door. He might sleepwalk or something, but how TF do I handle this situation?

59:34Look, so while your experience might sound unique, I've actually heard of this happening before. Yeah, me too. And some people just do that when they're drunk and you might gotta whip out the old, you were bad last night. So true. So fucking true. And like, clean up my door. Yeah, clean up my fucking door. Yeah. And thank God that pee is sterile. Yeah. Yeah. Like, some people's kinks is peeing in each other's mouth. Is pee sterile? Yeah, like, infamously. Really? Yeah. That's why people can, like, golden shower. Ew. Ew. One of my friends can queef on command, and it used to be funny, but now she won't stop doing it.

1:00:15I'm not even going to read the rest of this, because if my friend could queef on command, I would let them do it whenever they wanted. Next. Good for her. That's a fucking talent, I will say. I'm happy that she can queef on command. I think I might have. But, like, what does the rest say? Because I am curious. Like, she'll just randomly queef mid-convo, and it's starting to piss me off. How do I tell her to knock it off without sounding like a hater? Well, you're a hater. That is so funny. That is funny. I think I might have a God complex. I'm very independent, work for myself, and make enough money to live, and I'm in my early 20s.

1:00:54My friend group is all people still in college, so they have their bills paid for respectfully. However, there's a huge disconnect between us and my pride makes me scoff at criticism and boosts my ego to the point where I'm getting uncomfortable with it. How do I remedy this and come back down to earth? Wow, you are so self-aware. Yeah, I think, yeah. You are very self-aware, and that's the first step. Yeah. So you're just too lazy to take step number two. What's step number two? Implementing what you've realized. Right. Because you've realized it. Yeah. So implement it. Right. I'm talking to myself too, so I'm not just being harsh on you.

1:01:31Yeah. But also, like, if you've got your bills paid, you're independent, you're 20. Why do I not think – Good for you. Yeah. Why do I, like, not think – like, have a God complex. Like, you should be proud of yourself. Agreed. Right? I agree. Yeah. Sorry, not to be, like, toxic, but, like – No, I agree. You don't need to rub it in your friends' faces, but it's, like, if you think it about yourself, like – Who cares? Who cares? I would prescribe Independent Women Part 2 by Destiny's Child. Okay. I signed a lease with my best friend to move across the country together after college. While we were packing and she was already in the other state, my just broken up with ex-boyfriend who I dumped because of distance told me that they had hooked up numerous times while we were together.

1:02:09He just wanted me to know before living with her for full context. Now I hate them both. This happened a week ago when I literally signed a 12-month lease. What the fuck? First of all, you need to watch Tell Me Lies naturally because this happens. Immediately. Yeah. But like not in the same sense, but in a similar one. I don't. Can you break a lease? Can you break a lease? Like, no, but like I think that's that would warrant being like, fuck you to your friend, like find a roommate. And I will put up ads too for the room, but like I'm not living here. Yeah. Agreed. I'm a 25 year old grown ass woman and my mom is still babying me.

1:02:49Same, but my dad. It was sweet at first, especially since we're close and have a good relationship. But now it's egregious and to the point where I'm worried about her satisfaction in her own life. What controversial pointers do you have for me to bring this up to her without hurting her feelings?

1:03:07Controversially, what's the harm? If it makes her happy. I feel like it depends what she's doing. What's she doing? Yeah. Like if she just calls you a lot, like she's your mom. Yeah. Like it's okay if it makes her happy. Like, and respectfully at this point, I feel like she's at the age. Like, if my kid came to me and was like, how are you feeling in your own life? I'd be like, excuse me. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. And it's like, my dad babies me a lot too. And it's like, you just need to not baby yourself. And you need to like, I don't know if it makes her happy. Who cares? Yeah.

1:03:38It's a fine line of parents. Because like, I, I like, I understand maybe it's annoying, but it's like something crazy about growing up and becoming an adult is like realizing like your parents are just human too. and they're just grown up children and they're just grown up children and so like maybe it's just like that maybe that makes her happy and like if she's like like if she's overstepping like then you can discuss boundaries in terms of like that but like if she's just like calling a lot or like wanting to treat you to stuff like just let her yeah let her if she's like paying for your stuff pay for your own stuff be like hey mom i'm gonna pay for my own stuff i feel like i I can.

1:04:14Yeah. Like, oh, I'm so proud of you. Yeah. I'm throwing my own 30th birthday party, and as silly as it sounds, I want a theme. I don't think that sounds silly at all. My friends tell me it's stupid to have a theme at 30. Your friends suck. Much less throw my own party. I hate your friends. But fuck them. L-M-A-O. Agreed. So nothing's really wrong, but help me come up with a theme, please. I like horses, yoga, sex in the city, your podcast, thanks, et cetera. Obviously do a sex in the city theme. Sex in the city. Look, I don't watch sex in the city, but I recently found out that they're in their 30s for that show.

1:04:43Yeah. That seems correct. Yeah. Do sex in the city. I think do sex in the city. Have Cosmos. Have Cosmos. Dress up. And if your friends won't, they hate fun. Yeah. They hate fun. That's something that like Max's friends, they love a theme. Great. And like I love that they love a theme. Hold on to your inner child. Yeah. Hold on to the memories. They will hold on to you. Yeah. I needed a second. Yeah. One of my friends, one of my friends has the worst time management ever. She stayed with me recently and every single event we were late because of her. Peyton, I hate being late. I love this girl to bits and we joke together about how bad at timekeeping she is.

1:05:23And I always give her reminders on the day to help her stay in time. But she is still late and it started and it has started to piss me off recently. What can I do? Every friend of yours is, I've said it, is going to have a fatal flaw. A fatal flaw, yeah. It's just your friend. Just like don't go with her to things if it's going to piss you off. You know what? The only thing you can do is, I'll meet you there. Yep. I'll meet you there. That's what Brett does. Brett wants to leave places early all of the time. Yep. And we used to bicker about it, but now she's like, hey, I'm just going to drive separately and like, I'm like, I'm going to leave early.

1:05:52And I'll leave when I want. Yeah. Done. Next question. Yeah. It's a fatal flaw. It's not worth ruining a friendship over. Yeah. Honestly. And I think that's it. Okay. Brett, what did we learn today? But more importantly, what did you learn at 24? Ooh. Okay. Well, what did I learn today? Carly Rae. Yeah. Obviously. I'm going to go listen. Yeah. You have to. I actually will. Just the standard. Do the standard for yourself at first. She has a lot of like deluxe. She has the B-sides and she's doing the C-sides in October, as I said. And then in terms of what I learned at 24, I think I did, well, to backtrack to 23, I did a lot of growth internally and on myself in 23.

1:06:33And then I think that really allowed me to flourish in 24. You had a great 24. I think I had a great 24. and um I think that I just I'm really proud of myself for like the position I've put myself in with friends with work with like my relationship like I'm just really happy with my life which I think is I'm very grateful because like a few years ago like I was down in the dumps let me just tell you that it was not good it was not good and so I just I'm excited for this year and I think that it's also like I really want to like reassure people that like it gets better post-grad so much better and like now I don't miss college at all I don't miss college at all here's the thing I miss I miss aspects of college like oh like a game day would be so fun but like I don't miss college neither do I and like honestly I love my new room so much and I would have never had that room in college exactly we would have never had this house in college we would have never done what we're doing in college and i yeah yeah so yeah yeah well brett i love you so much i love you so much birthday thank you we are gonna have the best weekend ever yay say a little bye pussies bye pussies love you
