Legitimate compassion space, moment of silence, thoughts, prayers, everything for Teddy Mellencamp. For like, it's just I haven't heard of anyone having brain surgery, Like I don't. I've met her, I think once in person. That is serious shit, And like it's probably bringing her closer to her husband who she's split up with. She has children, it's so scary, Like her anxiety for her kids is probably bigger than

her anxiety for herself. You know, Like my biggest fear in life is not being here for my daughter because I'm the only one she has, and so in being healthier and not drinking and just the way that I'm living, it really is like a lot of it is because of just my daughter. And so I don't even just

grace more than thot. I mean, like thoughts, great, prayers, you know, great, but like grace, And you know what, there's been so much shit thrown around in that despicable tox success pool that she left, and I know that she's kind of wanted to go back to. She probably has a lot of perspective on what matters, and so does everybody else, people just trashing each other, and then something like this happens, which is like in life. In life, people trashing each other and then all of a sudden

something bad happens and everybody forgets that. So why don't we just like fast forward into if the worst happened? Would we want to be operating like this with whoever this person is? And that's like a good sort of barometer for us in general, like is it worth it? Is it worth it? My ix on social media went viral talking about X with guys like people were making

me cry. People were talking about velcrow wallets that a man sat crisscross apple sauce and they broke up with them, like people were chiming in with I was like, I once I wanted to break up with someone because they ate overnight oats. Okay, that's what I said, and I meant it, and I mean it now. GI a seed pudding, Okay, you have a vagina. Not that there's anything wrong with a man having a vagina. I'm just saying I don't want a man in my relationships that has a vagina.

So when you ordered chia seed pudding, it doesn't work for me. I can eat chiasted pudding every day, I can overnight oats. I can put oats in a fucking sleeping bag and have a slumber party with them. I can live with oats, cuddle them, and wake up in the morning with them. You're not allowed to have overnight oats. You're not even allowed to have daytime oats and allowed to have quick cooking oats. Oats are off. Men don't eat oatmeal that date me. I don't know why. I

just it's an ick. So I thought I was crazy and after people like, you're fucking crazy. Well, no, guess not because women were. Like I broke up with a man because he skipped once. Not like he was skipping, he was walking, but like in one second he skipped, wore birkenstocks over crisscross apple sauce. Goodbye, velcrow wallet peace out, says yummy tummy belly or delightful. Goodbye, run it up the flagpole park that impactful bye. Going out with my buddies.

I'm going what are you fucking twenty one? Going out your buddies? Okay, are you playing darts in a bar? Is it nickel beer night? Go have your fucking buddies. You could keep going, go out your buddies and never come back because a grown man should not be saying I'm going out with my buddies. Okay, So we were crying at all the icks, I mean they were endless,

the ickx were and he sung in the car. I'm like wow, And I could sing Celine Dion and somewhere over the rainbow at the top of my fucking lungs, I could sing let it Go from by Elsa. It doesn't matter. You are not a let to sing a goddamn lick in the car with me. Okay, shut the fuck up. Don't smack your food, don't breathe, don't sit close to me, don't order your own fucking duplicate entree of mine, because that's goodbye. We're broken up, we're done.

We can be married for twenty five years with kids and you order the same entree as me, or have a velcrow wallet by People despise when men have fish in their pictures, but that's more of a dating profile. Ick. I don't know. Beer Cozy's and those glasses that are on the back of your fucking hat with the like foam connectors. What are you doing? What exactly are you doing? You in like a perpetual state of fishing. Absolutely not

those are icks. I mean, a man can't say mommy, I can tell you that right now, you'd be living with your mommy real soon. Let's talk about lab grown diamonds. Speaking of things I don't want, lab grown diamonds are things that I do want. Why they are actual diamonds. They're actual diamonds. It's like a vegetable grown outside or inside in like inside, like it's still a vegetable, Like

it's grown in a controlled environment. A lab grown diamond is not naturally occurring in the middle of like you know, another country, like a piece of coal that was condensed and heated to be a diamond or whatever happens. But like it's an actual diamond, and the prices are a fraction. And so now I'm really confused because a lot of my natural diamonds more unrelatable content I'm scared to wear.

I'm gonna put a turtleleg over my head. The earring's gonna come out, Like I want the freedom of the lab grown earrings, like I don't. I don't want the stress I'm selling. I've sold all those bags, you know, I sold like fifty bags, and because of this luxury revolution where I just think it's so stupid and overpriced. I've kept some, but now I'm about to move into jewelry. So i just sent a pair of earrings and I'm gonna take a hit on them, a pair of diamond

big earrings that I just to hurt my ears. You have to. I get worried I'm gonna lose them if I'm traveling and they're not on my body. I worry that they're in my purse, like it's just like having an extra two children. I want to lean out. All this stuff is making me crazy. But lab grown diamonds are taking over, and girls who have real who have natural diamonds are freaking out because there are other girls in their friend group that have much bigger diamonds and

they're actual diamonds. They have certificates, they have much bigger diamond rings. And now the girls who have the natural diamonds are all annoyed because they're like, wait, I have a natural diamond that's you know, costs so much more. I don't think in hears to come, it's going to be worth so much more. That's the problem. So people will say there's always going to there are always there's always gonna be the market for naturally occurring diamonds as

an investment, et cetera. I don't know. I'm just telling you that diamond business is tay and a hit. So have watches like the luxury space is feels like it's in the upside down. I don't know for a fact, but it feels like it is. Brennan and I experienced a passive aggressive woman at the supermarket that we can't stop talking about because it happens in many different places, and I just want to talk about the way to enrage someone. It's the same thing as like ignore by text.

We were in a store and there was a man that was being checked out at the supermarket and she was checking him out and we were standing right behind him, and we said to the to the checkout person who wasn't talking to him, where it do you know where the blah blah blahs, I forget where were looking? There was something we were looking pretzels, I think it was, And so she ignored us, and we thought, there's no way, there's no way she doesn't hear us because we're talking

like a full volume. And then the guy checked out and she was standing there and I think like she had been annoyed that we had been talking to her wash she was checking him out, and we asked the question again, excuse me, and then like it was like hostile, like you could tell she was doing it on purpose, and we were just like, excuse me to you. And it was crazy because it happens in many different places.

And I know people are frustrated and they're frustrated with their jobs, but like sometimes you ever noticed that a bartender or someone just doesn't want to respond to you. It could be it's always someone in like the service business, and we've gotten into a situation where the customer is always wrong, like with cancelation and the way things go now, the customer's always wrong and not allowed to complain. I'll

let to say anything. It's always the customer's wrong. But I will tell you there is nothing more frustrating than when you catch someone who's pass ag and you can you know the moment that you realize that they're definitely fucking with you on purpose, but they're in the power position because the customers always wrong. In twenty twenty five, and you're just like and we kept and Brim is like I'm gonna Brim was like I'm gonna go louder

and louder. We're like, do you know what? Like it was greaty see the woman just we talked about it the whole vacation. She just never wanted to respond to us, never wanted to respond to us. Oh my god, text responding? How much does text suck? How much has text been overused as a means of communication for everything? People are expressing their feelings, people are really going through it, and it becomes like addictive, like let me say this, let

me say something else, let me get this in. I didn't get my full thought, and it is really just the death of human interaction. Text is the worst, and you can't resist. I mean, there are people that I've gone out with that like I've gone out with, been out with, been together with that we've really never spoken on the phone. You could be with someone, you could be in a relationship and never speak to someone on

the phone. I'm at the point where I think FaceTime is critical, especially if you want to talk about something like text is just the devil. And if someone doesn't respond when you text, it's hostile. It's not necessarily intentionally hostile, but let's put it this way. If you see that someone responds to people they work with in a meaningful, timely fashion, or their children or their parents, and they don't respond to you in a meaningful fashion, then something's wrong.

There's something intentional, there's something blocked. There's something passive aggressive, there's something hostile, there's something subconscious. People have to respond
