• 0:30
  Speaker 2: decisions is around my period.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You mean something ovular?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, just like Cause you get way more testosterone in
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: your body when you're about to, that's why we get
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: so angry. Cause we're closer to you guys. Um, when
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we're about to get our periods, we're the closest to guys.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: So then.
• 0:44

  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I don't want to like, we can
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: fact check.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: No, bring it up. So, so you get more testosterone
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: right out of there because why is it? Cause you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have to hatch an egg kind of deal or like, is, is,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: does the body need more power or need more? That's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: not a good way to say it. Somebody's going to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: get upset no matter what I say here, but.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: About power?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Or just like, you know, what do they need more
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: testosterone for, do you feel like?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea. I feel like
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: it was just your body punishing you for not having
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a baby. That's what a period is. That's what the— it' s
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: like now you get to be a man for a week.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But then if you— And what branch of Christianity says that?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Are you religious? You're
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a little religious, yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I believe in God, you know.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And I— Yeah, and I like Jesus, dude. So that's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: where I'm at. But no, I have faith for sure.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And you're part-time religious?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I grew up really religious. I grew up really Catholic.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You did? But then, you know, in high school, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't know. I don't know if I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: believe in this. And then now I'm like kind of
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: into crystals and stuff.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But I'm spiritual, I guess.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But you can't spell crystal without... Cree, like me.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Oh. No? Christ.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Christ.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Christ.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. I was thinking also Christ, Christina is close.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So you, yeah, no matter what I was thinking about myself.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Um, what was I even asking about? Oh no,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: but tell me more about the, um, the ovular, like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the energy, the ovular energy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And how it led to the bangs kind of. Oh, okay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I just, um, you know, I was,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I think I always have these, um, things in subconscious,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: like in the back of my mind, these things that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: bug me, but I'm able to ignore it for most
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of the month. And then when I'm about to get
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my period, they all kind of come to light and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: they really aggravate me, you know? And then I'd get
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like more insecure and stuff. And then I just, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what? I will get bangs. Why not?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Because you get that testosterone and that confidence to just
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: go for things, you know?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Okay. So some of it feels like a confidence that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: comes in.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Kind of like when you're angry, I feel like you don't,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You don't have time to overthink things if you're feeling
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: angry about something. That's what's nice about feeling angry sometimes
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is that you're not overthinking.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That's a great point, actually. Angry usually kind of leads
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to some sort of action.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yes. And not always good. Most of the time, not good.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But you're not overthinking when you're doing it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Like, oh, look at these definitive people
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: who are making a bad choice.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I don't get really that angry, though.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think they look nice. I think they
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: look great. Those are bangs, huh?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I like yours, too.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, thanks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we're kind of matching.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're kind of the same. Yeah. We're like two
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: different versions of Britney, kind of.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Britney, bitch.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm tired. Well, every girl always wants to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be toxic, Britney. I'm okay. I'm okay with being dancing
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the foyer with the knife Britney or whatever, like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: one of the newer ones.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Like the New Testament.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: A new generation Britney. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: This is you?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm this one, yeah. I'm Halloween Britney.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I bet she got those bangs, too. It was a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: period decision.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I'm Michael Myers Britney. This is Michael Jackson Myers Britney
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: right here. This bitch is legit. And you think those dogs,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: how do they feel? Take me through this, Christina.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: How do I think the three dogs staring at her?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Do you think those are employees, the dogs? Are they
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: emotional support dogs, do you think, or recreational ones?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. One of them had cornrows, I think,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: along its back. Can you tell me again about, so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: can you bring that up about if a woman is
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: going through ovulation, do they have, is there more testosterone
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in the bloodstream at that time?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's like around their period, not ovulation.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yes. Yes, on average, women's testosterone rises around the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: time of ovulation. Oh, I guess it is ovulation. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: then stays somewhat higher through the luteal phase.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's when you get your period and stuff.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. But it is not highest during the actual period.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Huh. Huh. Yeah, it's usually the week before that I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: find is the most productive. Then I start to mellow
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: out again once I start bleeding.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So that pre-period, that pre-drip kind of.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Is that a crazy term to use?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Pre-drip? Yeah, I feel like that makes sense.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Because I don't want to be unprofessional or whatever.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Under the Tuscan Sun?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: No, is that like a euphemism for a period or whatever?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's a movie, but... The whole movie,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: she's trying to open a faucet and it doesn't work.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And then at the end, it just flows and she's happy.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what it's like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, like Mad Max or whatever. When they finally get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the water.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's actually when it's like, ah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's uphill from here now. It's kind of like we
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: go through a movie every month.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. Can you let me know how much testosterone, Trevin?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Like what is the actual increase? That's so cool. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Probably varies from person to person, the amount. Like, if
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you're lightweight about testosterone, then you just get fucked up
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: on it. Just one shot, that's all it takes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But you don't start, like, I'm trying to think, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't just start, like, buying a Corvette or whatever, do you? Like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what do you, let me see, the mids. No. In
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: healthy women, the mid-cycle rise in testosterone is small in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: absolute terms, roughly 10 to 30% higher. Wow. So take
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: me on, is this crazy to even ask you about?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. You're from Stockton, right? Okay. I just want
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to get a little bit about your life and then
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we'll go and we'll come back and forth. So take
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: me through like, how do you know if you're getting
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: your period? Are you just like, cause is it almost
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: like you get deja vu, like you're walking and then
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you feel like, is it feel like getting deja vu
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: kind of?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It feels like I'm start, I get obsessive anyway. I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: kind of an obsessive person, but then when I'm about
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to get my period, I get really obsessive. Like almost,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I can't get out of my thought loops, whereas I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: can snap myself out. But then when I'm on my period,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it makes me fixate on certain things or certain things
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I thought I resolved. Then it brings it up again.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And then I just get real like obsessive. I don't
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: know how, but that it's different for everybody. I'm already obsessive.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So I think it enhances it, you know? What was
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the question?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: How did, oh shit. The question was like, say I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get a period, right? Say I'm walking around town or whatever.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get a period or whatever, how do
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get it? Like, do I, like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: do you start to feel like your leg, like, does
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it feel like your legs sweat, or do you feel like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so you said you start to feel a little, um,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: more fixated on stuff, and you can notice it?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it's super different than.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's crazy, bro.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get, like, two weeks where I'm, like, pretty happy, like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: feeling good, and then two weeks of just steady decline
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and obsessive, and then You know, like, do you always
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: see how people perceive you the same way? Is it
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: pretty constant for you?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. So, like, do I always think, like, yes,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I think I do. Yes, I think I do. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: think I always kind of think people sort of perceive
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: me the same way. I don't know what it is.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't specified it, but I do believe that, yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Like, for me, I feel like sometimes— people perceive me
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: better and then when I'm on about to get my
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: period I'm like everybody hates me it kind of gets
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: like more darker like it's just kind of like real
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: life but with like a cloud you know like a
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: mean dark cloud that's just like and you have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: like think no this isn't it's kind of like being
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: on drugs but a really bad one you know like
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and it's a bad trip for two weeks but it's
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like it's not super intense I don't know I don't
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: know how to describe it it's just.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: No, it's cool. It's the most I ever even talked
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: about it with somebody. And it's interesting because it's just
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: crazy to think that like, maybe that's why women are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: so resilient and tough, you know, because they have to like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? They got like an interior thing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: That's good. They got like a, they're going through like
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a mood. They're going through like a, I don't even
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: call it like, it's almost like going through the four
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: seasons in their body and in their like, That's so true.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: In their mind and heart and everything, they're going through
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: all that. So they're like, they're constantly sort of having
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to monitor and see what's going on with themselves and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: kind of come back anew kind of.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Except it's kind of like summer and winter is what
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like. It's like summer and then winter just
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: hits you just out of nowhere.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: We had a neighbor lady and something had happened to her.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what happened to her. She fell
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: out of a boat or something. And it didn't, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it was going too fast. And she– so after that,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: something was kind of unwell with her, with her brain, right?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She had a brain issue, an overall brain issue. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: whenever she would get her period, she would put like
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: hand warmers or something on.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And she would stand out in their yard down the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: street from us and she would always sing like Def
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Leppard or she would sing like Lock Up the Wolves.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's like an old song, but it's kind of crazy
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that she would– that she was basically going through a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: menstrual cycle and she would sing Lock Up the Wolves.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So you think that's what made her do it? Did
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: it help her feel better?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I think it probably did.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It was some sort of coping mechanism.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: She would stand out on the porch in the yard
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and kind of vibrate a little bit, and she would
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: sing a couple of different songs, and one of them
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was Lock Up the Wolves. Dear God.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: How does that go?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Bring up the lyrics to it. Okay.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It was like a metal song?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That makes sense.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Bring up that Lock of the Wolves, Rodney James. That's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Dio right there. In the house of the holy to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the middle of the mystic sea, at the cradle of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the world, there's a black cat screaming and it's not
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: even midnight. No. At the cradle of the world, they're
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: screaming for sanctuary. They're screaming at you. Lock up the wolves.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Lock up the wolves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does that seem
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like a period? Totally. Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Except you want the wolves to Get out of you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Get away, wolves.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Get out.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of these demons, you know. Enough wolves, enough.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Get out of my cat, you know, speaking of cats. Meow,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: because it hurts too.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, dang. Yeah, I got to think. I sometimes got
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to remember that. Is it crazy if you approach a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: woman and ask her where she's at in that sort
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of cycle pattern? Do women feel like they don't? I'm sorry.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Some of this stuff feels like I'm just like.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Because I'm a girl, you're asking me about periods. Is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: that what you feel like?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just feel like it seems kind of cheesy,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and I don't mean to do it like that. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: just don't ever get to talk about it, and somehow
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we ended up talking about it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: It's okay. I wouldn't overthink it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: See, it's like this is what I would be like
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: if I was about to get my period. I would
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: get in my head about, oh, my God. I would
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: still be thinking about the mullet comment earlier.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And I wouldn't be able to be present.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I think my whole life I've been about to get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: my period probably.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Well, you're a guy, so yeah, exactly.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Dude, think about it. If you're a guy, you never
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: even get to have your period. You just have to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: do all the other shit the whole time.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: You're on your period the whole time if you're a guy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, you are?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like us on our periods is closest to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a guy, just baseline.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Well, what if a guy hugs you while you're on your,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: like when you're writing that baseline? Is that like almost
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: like a gay moment, I wonder? Maybe.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why it's like. You know, if you're straight,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you're just like, no.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Get away from me, buddy.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you only kind of want to be around, like,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you, actually, I don't really want
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to be around anyone when around my period time.
