  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's best music is Magic, 94.9.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: And welcome to a new episode of Scotty and Abby Unfiltered.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to throw this at you really quick, Abby,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: because I haven't asked all morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know. Check it out. Do
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: you notice my new hairstyle this morning?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Come on!
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You gotta tell me this looks different. Like, I'm really
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: starting to slick it back. I'm trying to get that whole.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You're getting somewhere.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: It's such an improvement.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's hard because you have headphones on. Did you get
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it cut?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: No.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: No, this is literally just me putting a little product and, like,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: slicking it back. It's a little crappy now that it's.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Been a couple hours. Okay, yeah, I mean, it looks
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: better than it usually does, but, I mean, that's not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: really saying much. If you guys can't see Scotty, Scotty's been... Also,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: side note.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Scott.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Okay. Hang on.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: My ADHD is kicking in. I'm going to Italy so
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I can't focus. So Scott wants to grow out his
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: hair like the guys on the lightning. Correct.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get that flow.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: What triggered this sudden grow out phase? Because you've been
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: doing the high and tight fade for forever. Like I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was looking back at old photos and videos just from
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: When I first moved here back in February, I'm like,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: oh my God, Scott looks so different. I'm like, oh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it's the hair. So what triggered this? Are you going
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: through something?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's a new evolution of me, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: there is a couple moments. So the first moment, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this is, it doesn't need to be intimate. It doesn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: need to be like that. But there was a moment.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: This is the Unfiltered Podcast, so I want to know
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what position you are in.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So my girl from Brianda, when we first started dating,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I remember like I had my hair a little longer
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: than normal. And she like put her hand behind my head.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: And she's like, she made a comment like, oh, I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: like that. Like, you know, I could run my fingers
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: through your hair.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And you Pavlov-dogged it? Literally.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, wait a second. My brain, I kid
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you not, was like, ding. She likes to, you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: be able to grab like the back of my head.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know a girl that doesn't like to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that was the first little C that said, wait
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a second, what am I doing? Always getting it so short.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And I was already starting to do it a little
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: bit longer because. I started putting photos on ChatGPT and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: chat would be like, yo, to improve your looks, you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: should might, you know, don't do it so high and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: tight and maybe let a little bit more length.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: So I was like, wait a second, there might be
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: something there. And then it was the show off campus.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Watching the show off campus and seeing those dudes with
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that flow and our discussions about like, why do you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: guys cut their hair so short when they have hair
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to grow?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Why don't they grow it out? And I was like.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You know what? That's a good point. I'm going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: commit to this. And it doesn't hurt.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: My very last reason, it's definitely not the ultimate one,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: but it definitely saves money.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Because now I'm not buying haircuts. And it's not horrible,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Like $ 40 every month. Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I've saved... How many months are we in?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: $ 2.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I've probably saved like $ 300 by not getting my hair cut.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And that's more money you can spend on your lady.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly. So those are the seeds.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You are getting somewhere. And I did see that a guy...
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: popped up on my tiktok page he has long hair
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: kind of like that too and he gets semi perms
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so i didn't realize this was a thing that guys
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: even knew about because i didn't know this was a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: thing i don't know any of these when i think
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of women getting perms i think of like women in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: their 60s sitting at the beauty parlor all curly all
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: curly and they get the helmet head but i guess
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you can get a semi permanent or yeah a semi
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: perm and it just gives your hair some wave and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: texture and He looked good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I would definitely do that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You should for sure look into that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: A reason why I didn't do it for years is
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't think my hair would grow like that. When
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I grew hair out in middle school, nobody told me
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: how to style it or do anything with it. It
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just came down like a helmet. So it was just long.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I looked like Justin Bieber. That was the look back then.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: But in my head, I was like, well, that's how
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it would always grow if I grew it out. Until
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I saw off campus and how those guys do it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Because everyone on.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: TikTok, there's so many guys that are like, You got
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to ask your salon person for the Italian scissors and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: all that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, but that's for your hairstyle. That's not
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: going to work for me. Wrong.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: As I'm learning now, even if I just do a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: little product and I throw my hair back, wait a second,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: we might be getting somewhere.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So now it's a new evolution.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You do have a little bit of texture. I'm seeing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: some of it come through. You're not giving Lego head. No.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Although last time I went out of town, you went
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: full Lego. I don't know. Where was I? What was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the last time? Was I in Nantucket?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You were in Nantucket. I'll shoot the video.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I was on island and someone texted me. They said,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Scotty's hair?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They texted you that?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my friend texted me. She's like, what's going on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: with Scotty? And so I went to the Instagram. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was like, what is going on with Scotty? And then
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you posted this video and I was like, good Lord.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: This guy's gone completely.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gone for one day and he looks like a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: full blockhead. Oh.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, so here's what's going to happen.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So when you're in Italy, I'm going to come up
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: here with sweatpants on, a t-shirt, and just like no care.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Probably a hat on.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You're dressing up for me?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: What?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I put a little bit more effort
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: because I'm seeing you. I don't want to come in
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: here like a slob.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: As opposed to me who comes in looking like a slob?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, like in my hair, the whole thing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I don't do the whole like makeup and shebang.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: But the next week, I'm going to come in here
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: looking raggedy. And I'm so excited.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm going to have the show kind of just ready,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to walk in and just be able
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to hang out.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It's a vacation for you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It's not a vacation, but kind of a vacation.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Vacation for me, vacation for you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Exactly. You know, mi casa es su casa.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It's an excuse, because then, like, if the ratings are bad,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, well, Abby was in Italy that week.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: What was I supposed to do?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: What do you want me to do? Like, I'm just
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: holding this by tape and glue sticks.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You want her to not go to Italy?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she deserves a trip.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I do deserve a trip.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So that's what I did differently.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I did this when I went home to Vero, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: we went out to dinner with my dad and Brianda.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And I just tried something. I just threw my hair
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: back and I was like, wait a second. I think
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: it's finally at that length where it'll stay.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Kind of. A lot of product.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You're getting there. I feel like you need to cut. Like,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's too long over your ears.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm scared to get a cut, though, because it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: like you work on this length for so long.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You're like, gosh, do I just commit a little bit longer?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And then when I get a cut, it's like fully shaped.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Well, just like over over the years, maybe. But I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: felt I just got my haircut yesterday. And this is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the longest my hair has been in years. I don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: know if I was just asking for too many layers
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but I feel like every time I've gotten
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: my haircut the last couple of years from many people,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's not like just one hairstylist. My hair just kind
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of stays at the same length.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: It's sort of like.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Past the shoulders, like long, but not like long. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: then I sat in front of the mirror at my
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: new stylist yesterday and I said, my hair is like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: crazy long. And she goes, I know. And I said,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: so don't you dare fuck it up.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But I got nervous for the first time in years.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I got nervous. I was like, is this true? Is there's,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I've worked so hard on this length now. Do I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: need to stop getting haircuts?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: That's literally how I feel.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I've worked so hard and I've been so
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: committed to not cut, not trim. Even I've gone through
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the ugly phase. Like I'm finally coming out of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ugly duckling phase where I'm like, Okay. It's starting to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: look like maybe it could do the thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You're getting there. But you should go to the stylist
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that I sent you because she likes doing men's cuts.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I will definitely reach out to her because I'm curious
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: if she could. I'll send her.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll just sit with her and ask, is this
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: an appropriate time to do a little chop chop?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Not a big one.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Just a trim over the ears, I think, would be.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with over the ears? It's kind of cool.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It feels crazy with headphones on.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Take your headphones off because.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Let me see.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Turn to the right. Yeah, I don't think it's supposed
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to cover your ears like that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought that was like the cool thing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I see a lot of guys like trim up by
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: their ears and like they have a little bit of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a shave.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And then it kind of goes over.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: No, no. The guys have to stop doing the fade.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And some people can pull off a fade. That's not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: saying all, hashtag all men need to not have a fade.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes it depends on your hair texture, all the things.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But if you can grow out your hair long, most
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: women would rather see you with a lot of hair.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, that's why I was just in a whole
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: discussion with our big, big boss here in the building.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And we're talking about, like, balding and stuff. And we're
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: talking about me growing up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Jason? Scary Jason?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And he was like, oh, so you're committing to it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, well, I got it. I'm like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long I'm going to have it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And he's like, let me see your forehead.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And I showed him my forehead. He's like, you're fine.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You know, when I was your age, I was receding already.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It could happen at any time. I'm turning 30 this year.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And so this could be the decade where it's like,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it starts shooting back.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can go to Turkey. I'll tell you
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: right here on this. I will. Like, 100%, I will
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: go and do that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm so.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: pretty much.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: What i've noticed is every dude celebrity has done it
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they don't talk about it i wish they did because
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that would make it a lot easier for us normal
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: dudes to be like it's cool to go to turkey
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: but pretty much all of them have and i said
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it here on the podcast before but a good example
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: is like look at og photos of tom brady and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: look at him now.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh he looks great he looks so good you got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the buckle fat removal yeah that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Okay well the chin implant those chins look crazy but
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: his hair looks completely different it looks so good where
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: i'm like damn, that man, I wish he would just
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be open about like, what was his process? Who did
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: he go to? Because so many women now on the internet,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they're like open about all the different touch-ups they have.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that makes it easier as another woman
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to be like, oh, that's cool.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Like I don't feel so taboo going to get it done.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Cause it's also overwhelming. Cause you see a celebrity that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: looks really good and you're like, I'll do whatever it
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: takes to like, what do I, how much do I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have to pay to look like that? And it's usually
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: some kind of crazy laser and you got to get
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it done four times a year. But like, that's what
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I mean is Women are committed to the bit. And
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: so if a dude could just have good hair, that's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: just one thing you gotta do. One and done, baby,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and you're cruising.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: It is crazy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Like, we do, like, when we get ready to go
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: out to dinner, I do, honestly, not the bare minimum.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I think I do a level up than most dudes.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But I'm done in like 10 minutes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You shower, you take a shit, put on your clothes,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: put on some cologne, and there you are.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there on the couch.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And you're sitting on the couch ready to go, whereas
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it takes forever for women.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It'd be funny to see Tom Brady do like a,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: get ready with me while I tell you all the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: procedures I've done.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I wish he did.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Like, I wish he was like, okay, here's how I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: do my hair. Here's what I put on my face.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Because I know that man's not going out raw face.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: No. I don't even know if that's a term, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to call it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about the term raw face.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: That's kind of you going out just naked face, just raw.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure he's putting something on. I'm sure he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: putting on like a tinted moisturizer like I have that
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: could be considered makeup.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: An SPF. Oh, yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He's putting on all the products to really glow and shine,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: especially on TV, of course. But that would make so
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: many other dudes be like, I could level up for
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: my lady. I could look a lot better if I
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: just comb my hair before I go out.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And it's just so easy for guys to be attractive.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Like my mom texted me today. We were talking about
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: this during the show. My mom said, yeah, your dad
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: gave up carbs and he lost 30 pounds.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: It's nuts how our bodies work like that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It's insane. I'm like, do you know how hard it
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is for women to lose 5 pounds?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it isn't fair. Like, the way our bodies react
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: differently to things. Like, I could cut out one meal
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and I'll be like.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, your snatch is like... That's why
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I think... I think that's why women and a lot
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of my single friends have been in this kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: exasperated feeling when it comes to men. It's just... It's so...
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: easy for you guys to be the beauty standard for
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: men and so many men are not and i don't
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: even necessarily mean the beauty standard but like your character
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: as well like it's so easy for a good guy
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to become a really high quality guy that most women
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: want to date but most men.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Aren't trying oh my god no yeah it's actually rare
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to see a guy that's trying like if you go
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: out like if you went out tonight i was just
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: looking at a singles event at like lower deck in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: tampa This weekend. If you go out, you'll see 90%
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of the dudes are just showing up.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: T-shirt, maybe some pants on. They're good. The 10% are
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: going to look fantastic.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And they're going to have all the women surrounding them.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And the 90% of guys are going to go, well,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they're only going up to the top 10% of guys.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: None of us are getting hit on. It's because they
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: look like what women want guys to look like.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That was literally the beginning of this year.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait to show the photos side by side of,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: October 18th of 2025 versus this October 18th.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That was my birthday.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And to see how I look different. Because I looked
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: at my photo from last year and I'm like, God dang.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: thought in the moment I was hot shit but then
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I learned about putting an effort and like what I
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: could do to my skin and how I could cut
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: my hair differently and it's nuts the difference even just
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like growing out a little bit of facial hair like
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: for me that worked and it sounds dumb but that
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: was all help with like AI I literally was just
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: like AI What do I do?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: How can I look different?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You know how frustrating it is, though? Because I've done this, too.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I've put my photo in. I'm like, what do I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: need to do? I've already gotten the nose job, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I get protect. And when AI has, like, no tips
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: for you, they're like, well, seems like you've done all
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that you can do.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You've hit the end of the road. You've hit the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: end of the.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Road, girl.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Good luck. And so I'm like, what?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: No!
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I want to look, how do I, if I already
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: look great, I want to look even better.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: The endless cycle of it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start injecting my own plasma into my
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: skin next.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I think that's where it's hard.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Like, for guys, like, I think the only thing that really, like,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the standard goes crazy is like the body. Like a
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: lot of guys, like there's a different look for the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: aesthetic of like muscles and fitness and athleticism. But women,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's crazy how like there are people in the internet
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that I'm like, you're not even real.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Like what?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Well, sometimes they're not. Sometimes it is AI.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they're not asking AI what they should do. They
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just ask AI to do the editing.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Just actually create them.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And then they're putting that image online, which has to
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: be so hard because you're like, guys, most of them
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: have rocks as brains. So they're seeing that and then
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: they're seeing me and I'm like, okay, well, if you're
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: going to compare me to that, that's not fair.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: We're not on the same plane for you.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I told you about that, our mutual friend, that I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: asked him what his type was because he was talking
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: about this girl and then he showed me a photo
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the girl and I was like, ooh.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: You're like, what the hell?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It was just, and this isn't me knocking on her,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: but he was like, oh, she's the epitome of my
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: type and it was just like, Hella filler. Hella filter.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Just like all the things. And I'm not saying there's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: anything wrong with that. Women, it's tough out here. I'm
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: really not trying to criticize her. I was like, oh
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: my God, if this is what you think women just
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: look like, or this is what you're after, we're so fucked.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Because listen, I'm all about getting anything that makes you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: feel good about yourself. Why do we always end up
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: talking about our appearances on here, by the way?
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: It's like every fourth episode.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Every fourth episode.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: We come back to it. We're very conscious about it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Very conscious about it. I think we're just really fucking vain.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think it's just moving the needle
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: a little bit further every time. Yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: What was I saying? I'm all for a cosmetic procedure,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: but I get cosmetic procedures because I want to look
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And there's sometimes things that I look at that I go,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think my face developed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: In the right way. Oh, yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Have you gotten on Marpie TikTok?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, hell no.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You know what Marpy is? I think it started with
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the guy who looks maxing, Clavicular. Who, by the way,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he was just in Tampa. If you don't know who Clavicular...
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I can't talk today.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Clavicular.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: He's like a 20-year-old dude. He does this thing called
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: live streaming. I think it's Gen Z's form of reality TV.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: These guys will just go out and they'll live stream
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: their lives and just go to clubs or whatever and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: people like to watch it. And he... is big on
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: this thing called looks maxing where you can, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you've got to change your bone structure or whatever, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it all has to do with like palatal expansion. It
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: changes the way your jaw fits and it changes the way.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And so it's fascinating. If you go on TikTok and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: type in Mark B expansion, people's faces literally change based
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: off of how their teeth formed.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So they like literally change the size of their jaw.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So they get this appliance and it's called either a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Marpy or a Maspy and it expands your palate and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it affects your jaw. Then some people get double jaw
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: surgery and it's crazy. It just changes the way your
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: face looks.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this, but, um,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: There's literally options for everyone though.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Like it's, if you want to change this, tuck in this,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: there are so many things you could do.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: But again, I think that's why we talk about it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: It's like, It's your option.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I think back in the day it was so easy
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to just rag on people for it, but you're literally
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: not hurting anyone.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Just yourself.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Because it is painful.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: It has to be a little painful. But I feel
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: like as long as, and this is why I like
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: when people are transparent about it, as long as you're
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: not making people believe that something is aesthetically possible without
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it being aesthetically possible without the procedure, then I think
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: it's fine.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: There's guys all the time, and this is just the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: guy world of like, oh no, I'm completely natural.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: You could get this way natural. And you look at
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: them and you're like, Okay, most guys might not know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Like, you are roided up. There ain't no way.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: You don't get that aesthetic without a little bit of juice.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Just be honest about it so guys aren't.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Literally killing themselves to try to look like that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: All of this to say is, and we can close
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: out our vanity segment again. We have to do it
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: twice a week. That's true. We got to check off
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the box.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It's a hair check. That's what I was doing. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: was just doing a hair check.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It is comforting to know that the thing I learned
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: as an adult is really attractive people are trying to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: be attractive. Yes. I recently saw an interview with an
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: influencer called Paige Lorenz. Her name is Paige Paul now.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And she's really objectively beautiful. And the interviewer asked her
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: about how does it feel to have the thing that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: all women want, and that's to be objectively beautiful to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a wide audience. I'm not saying everyone thinks she's beautiful,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but she has an objective kind of beauty. And she goes,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it takes a lot of effort. It takes, like, a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that you see is sometimes just effort.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It's outfit planning. Maybe it is, like, the upkeep of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Botox or whatever. And I also remember in college... I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: was a part of Florida Greek Ambassadors, so it was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: all the different councils. So it was Panhellenic, it was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Divine Nine, it was IFC, the fraternities, and we'd
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: get together like once a month. And there was a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: guy in a fraternity called Pike, and Pike at the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: time was like the hot athlete fraternity. And the hot
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: guy in our group stood up and was talking about,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even really know what the question was, but
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I will never forget him saying, Because he's just one
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of those people that is kind of naturally attractive. Yes, yes.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So you don't really think about them being sentient about it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You're just like, oh, that's a hot guy. He's always
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: been hot. And he doesn't really think much about it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: He just happens to be hot. He goes, the way
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you look is the quickest way you can get respect
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: from people. And I was like, that's so crazy to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: me hearing a man in a quote unquote top tier
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: fraternity who is objectively attractive like vocalize it. Yes. Because
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: men never talk about it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: It's something that we don't talk a lot. But also
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: now it's starting to be acknowledged a lot more from men.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Where it's like, guys, you can step it up. It
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: is a huge difference maker. But you got to, like
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: you said at the end of the day, it is effort.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: A lot of effort. And that's why, you know what?
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: This next week, I'm not putting in any effort. I'm
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: just showing up.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I will be putting in a lot of effort because
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to Italy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: So let's talk about it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Because before you go on this trip, this will be
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: fun for the podcast fam. Because this is like shooting
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: forward in the future.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I know. So I'm posting this. I'm going to schedule this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: God willing, stream guys post it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it's going to get up somehow. It's going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: get up somehow. We'll find a way.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to post this on Wednesday. So I will
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: be mostly done with my Italy trip by the time
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you hear this.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: How long is the trip? When do you get back?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So I get back on Friday night.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Well, when you're before you go, though, are you talking about. OK,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: because there's like a.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: There's a prospect. Is that fair to say?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're talking about my date that I'm going on tonight?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Because this is not like a future one.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: We don't have to.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: No, we can talk about it. So I am going
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on a date tonight. So this is Thursday. So you're
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: listening to this. I'm assuming I'm going to post it
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. So a week ago, I went on it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming I'm going on the date. Match with him
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: on Hinge. He seems fine. He's just a, I don't know.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: He's just a dude. And we've been like casually texting.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Is this dude with a really good job or no? No.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Not that guy?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: You'll know because I'll be really excited. I'm going to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: hype that up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: This is a good guy. I don't know. He went
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to U Tampa. So I just kind of get like...
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: D-bag vibes from you, Tampa.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I do, too, but they're not all like that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Like, whenever somebody says that, I'm like, oh, but there's
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of really nice people from you, Tampa.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He looks like, you know, the where
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: am I hug guys? He kind of looks like one
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of those dudes. Oh, my God.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: But he's cute.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: He has a good, he's a basic job. He's my age.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: He lives in my neighborhood. Like, you know. He says,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we'll get along if you like sports, football, and hockey.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I like to watch both of those things.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: He golfs. You know what's so weird? In my old age,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: My old age. I'm 29.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I really like the idea of whoever I'm with liking
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to golf or at least being willing to play golf
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with my dad and my brother because golf is such
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a big part of their life.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: That's true. Your dad literally went on an entire golf
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: trip recently.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: He really did. And so it's not a requirement, but
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: if someone says that they like to golf, I go, ooh,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that's great.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That's a check in the right direction because at least
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that's the way they can bond. Like to have somebody
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: that can match up well with your family is huge
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: because when it doesn't, you feel it. It literally impacts everything.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Like I've been with people that don't even get along
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: with like my friends. And then you have to decide
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: what friend groups you're hanging out with. And you're like, oh, God,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that sucks.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: The friend thing, honestly, to me is more important because
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you should be dating someone you consider your closest friend.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: And so if your closest friend doesn't gel with the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: rest of your crew, there's something amiss.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: There's something amiss.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Family's a little bit different. They should at least be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: able to cooperate within the dynamic. But if you're not
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: super close with, I mean, unless you're like diehard with
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: your family and those are your best friends, that's a
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: whole other story. But anyway, yeah, there's some things that
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: What are the green flags that you have for him
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: so far? So you said golf, you like sports.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: He's fit. Nice. He's tall. These are all shallow things.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He has a good job. That's the thing. With a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: dating app, you just have to find someone on paper
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that you're like, okay, let me see what's going on.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: It's like seeing a house on Zillow. You know what
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I mean? He's in the right neighborhood. He's the right size.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: He looks like the kind of house I'd want to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: live in.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Go to an open house.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You know, his listing says that he does the things
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that I like to do. He works out. He likes
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to watch the sports that I like to watch. He
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: likes to drink margaritas. He plays golf.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: So.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Theoretically this could work.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Out this yeah this actually sounds a lot really good
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: what in your head right now is then going like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: is there any not i'm not gonna say red flags
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: yellow flags like.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Ding ding he he likes to text but he hasn't
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: been hounding me which is nice so green flag is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: he's texting me but he's not hounding me um.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: So he's continuously having points.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Of Yeah, points of contact. So it's good. So I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: appreciate him not hounding me because until I meet you,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I don't really care. You know what I mean?
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just get right to it so we just know.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're just a house in the neighborhood at
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: this point. I haven't done the open house yet. I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: haven't checked out like the carpets. Is there like a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: weird smell happening?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: No, that's true. There could always be a weird smell.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And also, I've been talking a lot about getting off
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the apps again because the reason I got off them
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: in the first place is I realized... I had been
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: on them too long and I think I just need
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to get off them. But also, I think dating apps
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: attract a specific type of guy that if they do
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: have all the right things on paper, like I mentioned,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: there's a reason why they don't have a girlfriend. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it's either because they just like to have a lot
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of girls in their phone or they're very introverted. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: both of those things I'm not into.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Damn it. That sucks, though, because where else are people?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Again, like it's just I find the whole fascinating world
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: of dating interesting.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Where else are people meeting? Like, is it like run
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: clubs or bars? Like, it's such a gamble. I don't know.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Mutual friends, maybe. I mean, I don't think it's impossible,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: but I do think it does suck.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I feel like.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody's meeting on Hinge. And so if you're not on Hinge,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: what are you doing?
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like missing an opportunity.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: But I feel very strongly that I'm not going to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: meet my person on a dating app. So I'm like,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: why am I entertaining? Why am I wasting my time?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Why am I wasting my Thursday before I go to
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Italy on some man who lives in the neighborhood?
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I love that, though.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Like, OK, for this date, like at least. I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a green flag. He set up the date, correct? He
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: did set up the date.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I will say he's been very like with it with
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the date. That's awesome. He recommended... Okay, I'll say where
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: we're going. We're going to Forbici. Forbici is kind of
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that classic... kind of, not rowdy, but it's a very
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: lively Italian spot.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's very lively.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's a big happy hour spot. So when he said, hey,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: let's go to Forbici at 7, I said, that's so great,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: but I don't think we're going to get a seat.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I was literally there last week on Thursday, and it
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: was poppin'. Oh, yeah, it's going to be poppin'. So
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I said, you might want to reconsider, and he goes,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I know a guy. So I was like, all right, well.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: That's so crazy. In my head, I was like, this
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: is such a good move for him.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Watch him.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He's the owner of Forbici. Yeah, you're like, I don't know.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He literally works at... Okay.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: He works at Forbici. I'm like, he's got such a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: good job.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: He's a busboy. Yeah, there you go.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: He's actually bringing you your drinks. He's going to work
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and go on the date at the same time.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great sign, though. Like, for somebody
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: to not only set the plans, but also then he
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: reassured you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: And he said, wait, wait, wait.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: You got a little bit of this. I got you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Like, that's what.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I wish more guys did it because it took me
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a long time to learn it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. So anyway, he texted me during
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the show and he said, see you at seven tonight?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Question mark.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes. That's where we are. And so I said,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: question mark.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Well, because I mean, yeah, because I think a lot
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of guys really love to have. Here's the thing. I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: think a lot of girls like to have constant contact
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and they like to have a lot of reassurance and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: they want to have a lot of conversations. That's not me.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I want to meet you. If we like each other,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: then we'll gab and I'll be excited to text you.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, he texted me. But I don't
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: know you. You're a house on Zillow. You're a house
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: on Zillow. I don't know if I'm going to like
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this house. So I don't want to have all these
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: conversations that are going to waste my time and create
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a false sense of intimacy. And then by the time
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I meet this person, it's like, oh, absolutely not. So
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit confused, like, hey, we're
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: not really texting. What's going on? You know? So anyway,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I wanted to text back. Hell yeah, brother.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Because I'm of the mind of just say what you're thinking.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And that's what I would say to a friend. I'd
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: be like, hell yeah, brother. Yeah.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I think, you know, I love when somebody
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: can be fully themselves. Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And I think you save that for like after the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: first initial meeting so they could get a sense of
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: who you are.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So what do I say? What do I say to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a guy that says see you tonight?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I would see you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: See you tonight. Question mark.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Sounds great.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. See you then.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to say, yep, yep. See you then.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Hmm. I don't know if I like, yep, yep.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I say, though. That's how I talk. Yep, yep.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: See you then.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I would say something that shows you're a little more
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: enthusiastic about it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm not.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: But you should be. We got to go into it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Let's go in all in on this date.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I'll say, yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, yes, exclamation point. See you then.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Perfect. There you go. That shows a little bit more
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of like, oh, no, I'm looking forward to this. Like,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I would say, looking forward to it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Because I'm not. You should be, though.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do this shit.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: This is going to be good.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: This is how you find love.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: You got to go on these first weird initial dates.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get a boyfriend before I go
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to Italy. No, no, no.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: There's no way it turns into a boyfriend before. But
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: at least this way, who knows? Now I'm so leaned in,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I'm actually annoyed that you're going to Italy tomorrow. Because
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: now I'm going to be sitting here thinking... I wonder
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: how the date went.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Cliffhanger. I know.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: This is a hell of a cliffhanger.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I could call in, like, if
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: there's an actually good update. I could be like, hey,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: we went out. Now we're getting married. We're eloping in Italy.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: We're going to Lake Cameron.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: We're eloping immediately. I think it's going to go really well.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a great conversation.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I don't, you know, as much as I love that
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Sparks fly. Oh, wait.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Should we see if he's on? One of those websites.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Oh God.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Let's see what the tea is.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: No, let's see if he's just a good guy on
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the first date. You know, everyone has a, I'm going
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to try. I'm really trying to be on this guy's team.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Cause he sounds like he has a lot of green flags.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I would say go in tonight, open heart, open mind.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: And then when we do the next podcast, when you're
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: back from Italy, we'll get the full scoop.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Hang on. Now I'm really committed to seeing if he's okay. No,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I don't see him posted.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: No, he's a good dude. What did you get his
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Instagram yet?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, he actually posted his Instagram on, um, His profile. Okay.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So he's a whore. There we go.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: No, no, wait, no.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's private. Oh, no, he's not. Yeah, I
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: found him.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you could see what kind of activities he likes
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: He kind of has like your haircut to where it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in like a weird place. Like, you know what I mean?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Like he needs to grow it out more. Like he
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: needs to commit to the bit.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe him and I are on the same page.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's a big fan of this podcast and he's
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: decided as long as I decided to grow out my hair,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: he's going to do it too.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe we're just internet friends from a long way.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I wonder if I know him. I always love these things.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to go really well. I have
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: a good feeling about it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Come on. We have to go into it with the
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: right mindset.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'd rather date the hot guy who went to the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Two Ivies.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: That guy could be a douche.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All right? But he's not. He's friends with my friend.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: That could also be a douche. I don't know. We
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: don't know. Actually, he's a fan of the podcast. So, no,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: you're not a douche. Go into it. Open mind. Open heart.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And if it sucks, you get a free drink. Hopefully.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: As other ones have went. What are you looking forward
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: to most on the Italy trip before we go?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to get some good photos for my Instagram.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. I wanted to make a comment about that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Your new profile pic.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Looking good.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Look at you. I have not changed it in a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: minute because when you have a verified profile, they, like,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: make it a hassle and a half. Like, you have
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to post. You have to send them your passport. It's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a whole thing. And so I've just been keeping my
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Bert show one because I like that photo.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: It is good.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And it's very straightforward. It looks like me. It's to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the point. But I'm like, I've really changed a lot
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: since that photo. I got a nose job. I lost
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: 30 pounds. My hair is a little bit of a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: different color. I mean, I don't look wildly different, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I do look different.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: And I always find it very weird when people have
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: profile photos from like years and years ago.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Mine definitely doesn't look like the current version of me.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's still like an old headshot.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Let me see.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Let's see if it actually still stays up. Because since then,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I've grown out my hair.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Like, here we are.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you identify with this new hair identity?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I think this is going to be the version of
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: me for a while. I was actually, this is such
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a weird thought, but in my head I was like, man,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have long hair at my wedding?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: That's cool. I don't know when the hell that is.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: That's a crazy thought.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: No, it is.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Are you getting married?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: No, and there's nothing every, like, no, no, no. There's
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: nothing on the books, but I did think about that
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: probably an hour ago.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I was like in the bathroom looking at myself.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, huh, I didn't think I would have
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: long hair at my wedding, but I don't see me
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: cutting it in the next, I went all this distance
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: to cut it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Why don't you, we just took headshots at the station.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Why don't you use one of those headshots? I will.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I'll use a new one because this one still has
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: me as short hair. It's a good photo.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: It's clear.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: That's what they say on Instagram to have a clear photo,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: but I'll put a new one up.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Mine's not very clear. I'm wondering if I made a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: bad decision now.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: No, yours is good because you're a lady.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of photo. So my new profile
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: pic is the kind of photo that I envision my
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: children when I die of a tragic illness.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: This is the one they'll put up.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's the kind of photo that they're
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: going to show.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Lies to rest, mom.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Because I look just so like, it's kind of like
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: dreamy and I'm like turned. I'm like. Hey, here I
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: am in my house dress at my random Airbnb in Austin, Texas.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: It gives a little bit of, like, mysterious. Like, who
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: am I?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm big in my soft smile era.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: You are big in the soft smile era. Mm-hmm. Which
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: is good, though.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: The soft smile's good, like your last couple photos are.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a great photo. It also, I
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: think it's better than your last photo.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: What was wrong with my last photo?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Nothing at all.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But I think as we've talked about it, like, you
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and I have evolved.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Like, that's the goal.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Is right like hair color is a little different uh-huh
• 29:41
