1:11
Speaker 1: by now you have hopefully seen a flyer announcements circulating
1:16
Speaker 1: on Instagram four season four with some new visuals. Absolutely
1:19
Speaker 1: so to recap season three we were from revenge never
1:26
Speaker 1: sounded so sweet and this year season four, new season,
1:31
Speaker 1: new theme. We are us wanted for crimes against the
1:38
Speaker 1: patriarchy and we're just continuing along with the idea of
1:42
Speaker 1: seeking revenge against machismo and the patriarchy, and now we
1:46
Speaker 1: are probably on the run for our crimes and they're
1:50
Speaker 1: not going to catch us because they can't keep up.
1:52
Speaker 1: And that's where we're at. Yeah, you can't keep a
1:55
Speaker 1: bad bitch down, basically, you can't. You cannot kill a
1:58
Speaker 1: bad bitch. No, no, no, indestructible. Yes. And then when
2:03
Speaker 1: thinking about our visuals and our concept we were looking
2:06
Speaker 1: back at the Roaring twenties, right, so if you look
2:09
Speaker 1: at our hair and the flyer, definitely like inspired by
2:13
Speaker 1: the Roaring twenties and thinking about how we are literally
2:15
Speaker 1: in now so kind of like an old meats new
2:20
Speaker 1: futuristic at the same time, Yes, like everything all at once,
2:24
Speaker 1: but make it futuristic and sort of like a neo
2:27
Speaker 1: noir feel. We had the pink suspenders. Um, we sort
2:33
Speaker 1: of like business bitch vibes, like a hard film mafiosa vibes.
2:39
Speaker 1: That's the feeling. So we want to shout out Chapin
2:43
Speaker 1: Michelle our visuals team for helping us out as far
2:47

3:21

3:35
Speaker 1: all these different elements. It's a good leap. It's a

Speaker 1: were into that week, stuff that we're feeling, events there
8:36
Speaker 1: were planning. It will definitely be a behind the scenes
8:38
Speaker 1: exclusive as to what look At That is doing that,
8:41
Speaker 1: what you won't necessarily find on the Instagram just yet.
8:44
Speaker 1: So it'll be a good sneak peek and a good
8:46
Speaker 1: way to keep up with us and what's to come.
8:48
Speaker 1: So I'm going to put that in our show notes
8:51
Speaker 1: so you can subscribe and we hope to see you
8:54
Speaker 1: there on the newsletter. That's going to be like a
8:56
Speaker 1: fun new edition. Yeah. We're like acting on lots of
9:01
Speaker 1: ideas that we've had. We're putting them into motion now,
9:05
Speaker 1: which is exciting. It is exciting, and like Mama mentioned,
9:08
Speaker 1: like it's good to not just live on one social
9:10
Speaker 1: media platform. A newsletter is a good way for us
9:14
Speaker 1: to have direct communication with our listeners because we're sending
9:17
Speaker 1: you info, we know that you'll see it. In the
9:20
Speaker 1: same like the Patreon, we can build community with you
9:23
Speaker 1: in ways that we can to via Instagram. Especially all
9:26
Speaker 1: last year we talked about shadow banning and all of that,
9:28
Speaker 1: so this will be a new way to keep up
9:31
Speaker 1: with us. Absolutely, the shadow ban is real. Um, we
9:37
Speaker 1: don't trust any of these social media platforms. They don't
9:41
Speaker 1: belong to us, we don't own them, we don't have
9:43
Speaker 1: a whole lot of control over how they work. So
9:45
Speaker 1: you know, we got to go to other places. Um. Yeah,
9:48
Speaker 1: And I've been saying about like brujas especially, get their
9:53
Speaker 1: accounts taken down, get their comment section blocked so they
9:56
Speaker 1: can post, but they literally can write captions and no
9:58
Speaker 1: one can comment. It's just a whole mess. It's weird,
10:02
Speaker 1: and it's just very interesting who is getting censored and
10:06
Speaker 1: we know who it is. You know, a lot of
10:12
Speaker 1: hate speech is also happening via social media, but then
10:16
Speaker 1: that never seems to get taken down. So it's very
10:19
Speaker 1: interesting to see what's playing how it's playing out, and
10:23
Speaker 1: all the memes that, like, all the memes that point
10:27
Speaker 1: out how how much of an extraterrestrial life form, like
10:32
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg looks like it's not helping, right, he like
10:36
Speaker 1: is morphing into something like non human and that's what
10:41
Speaker 1: happens when you do evil things. We should have a
10:43
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory episode. I agree, because you know, like that
10:48
Speaker 1: like belief of like the reptilian you know, have you
10:52
Speaker 1: ever dived into that? Okay, so that's scary. Yeah. So basically,
10:57
Speaker 1: so my friend was telling me because she came into
10:59
Speaker 1: contact with these people that were of the belief that
11:02
Speaker 1: like reptilian people exist. So if you look at people
11:05
Speaker 1: in power, they look like reptilian. So like one good
11:08
Speaker 1: example is like Trump literally looks like a toad. I'm screw. Yeah.
11:12
Speaker 1: So there's like all these different examples of people in
11:14
Speaker 1: history and how they have very reptilian like features. Yeah,
11:19
Speaker 1: so that's like all that he does. So that's like
11:25
Speaker 1: all I can really say about it right now because
11:28
Speaker 1: that's like the bare minimum that I know about it.
11:31
Speaker 1: So it's reptilian belief, right, But I think that we
11:34
Speaker 1: should we should do an episodehere we dive into conspiracy theories.
11:37
Speaker 1: I agree completely. Um. I think that Mark Zuckerberg, the
11:44
Speaker 1: sameness of his haircut over the years also disturbs me,
11:48
Speaker 1: like to a degree that's hard for me to What
11:51
Speaker 1: kind of reptilian would he be? Oh my god, he
11:54
Speaker 1: would be a reptilian. I don't know enough about reptiles
11:57
Speaker 1: to place him. Hold on, let me think so if
12:00
Speaker 1: up as a toad and Zuckerberg has those kind of
12:03
Speaker 1: like his eyes are dead set and beauty at the
12:08
Speaker 1: same time confusing, and he needs eye drops. He looks
12:13
Speaker 1: that his eyes look itchy. Some type of a lizard,
12:17
Speaker 1: some type of a lizard. YouTube video called Mark Zuckerberg
12:21
Speaker 1: is a lizard. Oh god, the whole meme community that
12:26
Speaker 1: doesn't think Mark Zuckerberg wait for it is human. There
12:34
Speaker 1: you go. We're not the only ones. Other people have
12:36
Speaker 1: made this observation stress. Other people have noticed. Ikay, I
12:46
Speaker 1: closed it. Thank you. He can't hurt us. Well anyway, Well,
12:52
Speaker 1: I think the downfall of Instagram is when it got
12:54
Speaker 1: sold to Facebook, because I had its glory days. I
12:59
Speaker 1: like this. That's how one of the ways that you
13:01
Speaker 1: and I met. You and I met aside from Twitter.
13:03
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a way that a lot of
13:05
Speaker 1: us met, a lot of us have built community, folks
13:07
Speaker 1: have organized via Instagram, and now it's just like shadowing
13:13
Speaker 1: no caption. There was a day, there was a time
13:16
Speaker 1: of very heavy posting on our parts and just spending
13:21
Speaker 1: lots and lots and lots of time on I just
13:27
Speaker 1: my day was very much about Instagram totally, which like
13:32
Speaker 1: saying that out loud and like thinking about that is
13:34
Speaker 1: so funny, but it's true, Like that's what we were.
13:37
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we were also working or whatever. Yeah,
13:40
Speaker 1: we were on Instagram. We're on Instagram. Yeah. But also
13:44
Speaker 1: it was thanks to our micro followings on i G.
13:47
Speaker 1: It's that we were able to fund all those funnel
13:49
Speaker 1: those followers into the podcast. I mean, don't get me wrong,
13:52
Speaker 1: I'm still on Instagram. I still spend plenty of time
13:55
Speaker 1: on there. It just doesn't feel the same. It's not
13:58
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, do you all agree, listeners? Let us
14:02
Speaker 1: know is that how you feel? Do you feel the same? Also,
14:04
Speaker 1: if you know about the reptilians, please comment, because I'm
14:07
Speaker 1: sure that you all know about it. Tell us about
14:09
Speaker 1: more reptilians that you have seen or in history. Okay,
14:14
Speaker 1: So my friend was hanging out with this couple and
14:17
Speaker 1: it goes without saying that they were white. Okay, let's
14:20
Speaker 1: start there. So she was hanging out with these people
14:23
Speaker 1: that believe in the Reptilians, and they also believe that
14:25
Speaker 1: they could move things with their mind. So she was
14:27
Speaker 1: hanging out with them for like a minute, and then
14:29
Speaker 1: she said she started she called and she started telling
14:31
Speaker 1: me about these people. And I was like, I'm going
14:33
Speaker 1: to stop you right there. They're trying to get you
14:35
Speaker 1: to join a cult. I'm telling you right now, they're
14:38
Speaker 1: trying to get you to join a cult. So then
14:41
Speaker 1: she tells me that she like hangs out with them,
14:43
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, there's like a meeting, like
14:45
Speaker 1: a bunch of people are coming over, and I was like, girl,
14:47
Speaker 1: you need to go, Like, you need to get out
14:49
Speaker 1: of there first. I know first. So eventually she was like, Okay,
14:53
Speaker 1: things got really weird. I'm no longer hanging out with them,
14:56
Speaker 1: but yeah, that that was my first exposure to the
14:58
Speaker 1: Reptilian conspira rac theory. They're really out there, are recruiting people. Yes,
15:03
Speaker 1: there are people that like firmly believe this I'm scared.
15:07
Speaker 1: I hope we haven't like invoked their their spirit. They like,
15:12
Speaker 1: this is true, Well it's out there. Fuck it all right, Well,
15:19
Speaker 1: if we disappear, you know what happened. You know what
15:21
Speaker 1: happened in the repilions. The other conspiracy theory that I
15:25
Speaker 1: like is about like Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer
15:30
Speaker 1: and him looking like he could be the Zodiac if
15:34
Speaker 1: you know, if it came out that he was a
15:35
Speaker 1: serial killer, I would believe it. I wouldn't be shocked
15:38
Speaker 1: speaking of serial killer, speaking of conspiracy theories. Okay, so
15:42
Speaker 1: we were watching, we were pre recording. We were talking
15:46
Speaker 1: about the Aaron Hernandez documentary, the series, the docuseries. We
15:50
Speaker 1: both watched it separately. We didn't tell each other. We
15:53
Speaker 1: didn't where do we begin? What do you think? Where
15:57
Speaker 1: do we start? Okay, well I saw this For those
16:00
Speaker 1: who maybe don't know who Aaron Hernandez is or who
16:03
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, who was who was Aaron Hernandez? Aaron
16:06
Speaker 1: Hernandez was a I forget his position, but he was
16:10
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He was to the tight end of
16:14
Speaker 1: the Patriots right, and so he was this really like
16:18
Speaker 1: young twenty four year old Puerto Rican from Connecticut and
16:24
Speaker 1: he was drafted into the Patriots. So he's like at
16:27
Speaker 1: the height of his career and signed for forty million dollars. Yes,
16:32
Speaker 1: lived in a mansion, had like the dream life, right,
16:35
Speaker 1: like he had made it. He like accomplished his goals,
16:38
Speaker 1: basically won the Super Bowl for the Patriots. Basically, Yes,
16:42
Speaker 1: like a darling of the NFL and of the United States.
16:47
Speaker 1: I didn't know this that we were watching it, and
16:48
Speaker 1: I was like, I like pointed out to my to
16:51
Speaker 1: my man, like, oh, like while people were really like
16:54
Speaker 1: rollying for him, and and he was like, yeah, he's
16:56
Speaker 1: a he was a fucking Patriot, And like I didn't
16:59
Speaker 1: understand stand, like because you know, I'm not really a
17:04
Speaker 1: sports person, but like people are really committed to their
17:06
Speaker 1: sports team. So yeah. Anyway, Um, so he was tried
17:12
Speaker 1: for and convicted for murder, and at the same time
17:18
Speaker 1: while they were investigating that case that he was also
17:22
Speaker 1: um a suspect in another murder that that predated his
17:27
Speaker 1: Patriot Super Bowl winner Bowen right before he had even
17:31
Speaker 1: been drafted, before he had been signed. Yes, so when
17:35
Speaker 1: he was a college student. Yes, So there was there's
17:39
Speaker 1: a lot of theories there's a lot of Yeah, there's
17:42
Speaker 1: a lot of theories going around right now, especially on
17:44
Speaker 1: Twitter and so and what's interesting, you know to I
17:48
Speaker 1: think to me about all of this is so, you know,
17:51
Speaker 1: he was a lot of things. There's so many layers,
17:56
Speaker 1: there's so much to say and unpack, and so many questions.
18:00
Speaker 1: Interesting that he was such like a national hero and
18:03
Speaker 1: that he was of Puerto Rican descent in the NFL,
18:07
Speaker 1: that's not really like a narrative we hear all the time.
18:10
Speaker 1: There was that particular attention on him, and then he
18:14
Speaker 1: was a superstar at such a young age, and and
18:18
Speaker 1: also like the survivor of child abuse, of childhood sexual abuse,
18:22
Speaker 1: and which his brother spoke about DJ hernandez Um on
18:27
Speaker 1: the in the docuseries. And then there was a lot
18:31
Speaker 1: of focus on these different speculations and conversations about his sexuality.
18:37
Speaker 1: And we were like sort of talking about how they
18:41
Speaker 1: used so many different words and labels to talk about
18:43
Speaker 1: and describe him. So some people throughout the docuseries he
18:48
Speaker 1: was gay, he was closeted, he was bisexual, and just
18:51
Speaker 1: the like jumping back and forth between all these words.
18:54
Speaker 1: It was interesting and odd, you know, And this was
18:59
Speaker 1: talked about like the folks in the docuseries had a
19:03
Speaker 1: balance of perspectives and said, you know what, no matter
19:06
Speaker 1: what it was that he was going through, he still
19:09
Speaker 1: made choices and he killed people, and accountability like matters,
19:13
Speaker 1: you know, And it goes along the saying, Okay, there's
19:18
Speaker 1: just such a genre of film and entertainment of let's
19:23
Speaker 1: hyper focus on men who have murdered people and abused
19:28
Speaker 1: people and think about all angles and all sides of
19:32
Speaker 1: their lives and contemplate their humanity and sympathize over them
19:37
Speaker 1: and with them. But there are dead people like in
19:40
Speaker 1: their way. When we first started watching it, because I
19:43
Speaker 1: watched it with my man, with my partner, and um,
19:47
Speaker 1: just the opening like montage of like all these different
19:50
Speaker 1: photos of him, I thought, when I said aloud to him,
19:53
Speaker 1: like how difficult is this for the families that he murdered,
19:58
Speaker 1: Like you know, the are seeing the way that we're
20:01
Speaker 1: humanizing this murderer, and I think, I don't know, Like
20:04
Speaker 1: there I understand the importance of nuance and having that
20:08
Speaker 1: conversation about his life and like everything that led up
20:11
Speaker 1: to you know, these different murders at the same time,
20:14
Speaker 1: exactly like you said, we're also humanizing someone that killed
20:18
Speaker 1: multiple people. Yeah, it's wild. And all of his victims
20:22
Speaker 1: were black men, you know, and what's that like, what
20:26
Speaker 1: what is that about? And whatever rage you have? Why
20:29
Speaker 1: are you direct Why was he directing it at black
20:32
Speaker 1: men specifically? Like, and that's a piece that wasn't I
20:34
Speaker 1: don't think remember hearing that being touched on or discussed
20:38
Speaker 1: in the docuseries. And then we had talked about how
20:41
Speaker 1: there was very small mentioned towards the end of just
20:45
Speaker 1: the physical and mental damage that happens to you when
20:49
Speaker 1: you're a football player, when you're like receiving all these
20:51
Speaker 1: blows to your body and your head for years and
20:55
Speaker 1: years on end while you're training and playing. That that
21:00
Speaker 1: the like the specialists, the brain specialists that UM examined
21:05
Speaker 1: his brain post mortem said that it was like the
21:08
Speaker 1: worst case of CTE in a person, in such a
21:10
Speaker 1: young person that they had ever seen. Like his brain
21:13
Speaker 1: was like like atrophied, Like it was very advanced. And
21:17
Speaker 1: I mean, again, so many different factors UM. And it
21:23
Speaker 1: also it says so much too about this continued conversation
21:26
Speaker 1: about the NFL and players being expendable and those players
21:30
Speaker 1: are their bodies are wrecked, like completely, they retire, So yeah,
21:35
Speaker 1: you know, and just people are expendable to the NFL,
21:39
Speaker 1: the domestic violence victims that they overlook and ignore so
21:43
Speaker 1: that you know, abusers can continue play and play. You know,
21:48
Speaker 1: their players literally suffering prolonged and constant brain damage. And
21:53
Speaker 1: and the NFL is considered a nonprofit, so then thinking
21:56
Speaker 1: of all the tax write offs that they must receive
21:59
Speaker 1: because they're suffied as a non are they they are?
22:02
Speaker 1: That is effing crazy. Yeah, that's too much. I can't
22:06
Speaker 1: even like. And I remember because my dad is a
22:10
Speaker 1: big football fan and when we all lived together, like
22:15
Speaker 1: Sunday night football and then Monday night football were like
22:18
Speaker 1: a big deal. And so you know, Dad's got the
22:22
Speaker 1: TV on Sunday nights and then on Monday nights and
22:25
Speaker 1: we're a Raiders family. Um, but Aaron harnd Is was
22:29
Speaker 1: a huge name, and he was a huge deal. So
22:32
Speaker 1: when the although I myself don't really watch football, when
22:35
Speaker 1: the docuseries came out, I was like hesitant. I was like,
22:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to. That's how I
22:40
Speaker 1: thought about it too, Yeah, but I was curious. But same,
22:44
Speaker 1: that's how they get you. I had no one I
22:46
Speaker 1: have no investment in football or the Patriots. I mean
22:50
Speaker 1: the owner is a known Trump supporter, same as Tom Brady,
22:53
Speaker 1: So like, I have no interest in watching anything related.
22:57
Speaker 1: But it's a Netflix DOCUSERI reason when Neflix has great advertising,
23:01
Speaker 1: the timeline is on fire and everybody and everyone's talking
23:04
Speaker 1: about well I want to know too, Well, let me
23:07
Speaker 1: find out, you know, oh my god. But yeah, I know,
23:10
Speaker 1: like it's totally unacceptable, like his actions and his behavior.
23:14
Speaker 1: It's a huge conversation about professional football and the way
23:18
Speaker 1: that players are treated, I mean, the way that victims
23:21
Speaker 1: are treated when a celebrity causes harm to the public,
23:25
Speaker 1: you know, and getting like kind of second hand treatment.
23:28
Speaker 1: And then even in the docuseries, it's the same dynamic. Dynamic. Yeah,
23:32
Speaker 1: And I was really put off by the way they
23:34
Speaker 1: showed um Lloyd's body multiple times during the Netflix docuseries,
23:40
Speaker 1: like in court, they like his mother was looking at
23:43
Speaker 1: photos of her dead son's boss was horrible, you know,
23:47
Speaker 1: in the morgue, and I like that really was off
23:49
Speaker 1: putting to me, And I thought, like, this is just
23:51
Speaker 1: for effect and not because we actually needed to see it, right,
23:54
Speaker 1: I didn't need to see his mother looking at her,
23:57
Speaker 1: you know, she didn't need to see that. That was
24:01
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, um, it's really interesting sort of
24:05
Speaker 1: the way that they laid out the narrative of his
24:07
Speaker 1: life and the speculations around his sexuality and the focus
24:11
Speaker 1: on it, and it was it was a lot of speculation.
24:13
Speaker 1: It was a lot of it was investigators and and
24:16
Speaker 1: and people commentators, like people making comments but who weren't
24:20
Speaker 1: close to him. And I saw, you know, we were
24:23
Speaker 1: looking at a Twitter thread, right, um, and somebody had questioned,
24:28
Speaker 1: like that quarterback from high school, like when was the
24:32
Speaker 1: last time that they had seen each other spoken? And
24:35
Speaker 1: why was he such a primary source on him? I thought,
24:39
Speaker 1: I thought that was strange too, because it's also one
24:42
Speaker 1: of those things of like, are you outing someone that
24:45
Speaker 1: was never out and I don't know, a very big
24:50
Speaker 1: speculation on their sexuality, and then the person isn't here
24:53
Speaker 1: to say, yes, that happened, no, that didn't happen. Yeah,
24:57
Speaker 1: So then he committed suicide supposedly after he was acquitted.
25:01
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot you know, when people,
25:03
Speaker 1: when people die in prison, especially the Epsteins of the world,
25:08
Speaker 1: the Aaron hernandez Is of the world, like who's motivated
25:13
Speaker 1: to keep them alive or to see them dead. And
25:16
Speaker 1: so it's hard to believe and to trust what you
25:19
Speaker 1: hear coming out of a prison. It's just really hard
25:23
Speaker 1: to really know the truth. Um. And then the speculating
25:27
Speaker 1: about his sexuality, not to say that he wasn't queer,
25:30
Speaker 1: but the amount of time that they spent on it
25:34
Speaker 1: and speaking to non like people who weren't in his
25:38
Speaker 1: life was just very weird. There was a weird fascination
25:43
Speaker 1: about it. I agree with you. I wish they would
25:45
Speaker 1: have spent more time on the trauma that his body
25:48
Speaker 1: experienced as a professional athlete, you know, because like there
25:54
Speaker 1: are like real implications that of your of all the
25:58
Speaker 1: damage to your brain and like what that actually does
26:01
Speaker 1: to your decision making. Not in a way to like
26:04
Speaker 1: not hold them accountable, but as someone that works with
26:06
Speaker 1: folks with developmental disabilities, we actually have clients that were
26:10
Speaker 1: in a car accident and then now all of a
26:12
Speaker 1: sudden have this developmental disability right have to be an
26:14
Speaker 1: assisted living you know. So it's like, I don't know,
26:17
Speaker 1: there's it would have been it would have been worth
26:19
Speaker 1: spending time on, but it wasn't. Yeah, So you know,
26:23
Speaker 1: the question of things like sympathy and empathy come up
26:27
Speaker 1: and are hard to wrestle with, and um, I try
26:32
Speaker 1: not even to necessarily go there or think about things
26:35
Speaker 1: like sympathy in these cases because it's there's there's a
26:39
Speaker 1: very real tragedy in like people were killed and that's
26:44
Speaker 1: just a fact of of that, and we don't want
26:49
Speaker 1: to avoid or overlook that reality. But I think that
26:53
Speaker 1: is the point of these types of docuseries or documentaries,
26:56
Speaker 1: not just There and Hernandez one, but you know, even
26:59
Speaker 1: like Ted Bundy, Ted Bundy was that that was a
27:03
Speaker 1: Netflix original too, right, it was like a Ted Bundy series,
27:07
Speaker 1: and like all the folks on Twitter that we're like,
27:11
Speaker 1: oh Ted Bundy was so fine or whatever that I
27:13
Speaker 1: never understood. I don't under she was a serial killer.
27:17
Speaker 1: Er No, but it's like we have this weird fascination
27:20
Speaker 1: with men that are serial killers. It's true individuals. Okay. Also,
27:26
Speaker 1: can I just say, like, if we are going to
27:28
Speaker 1: talk about attractive serial killers, it's not Ted Bundy. It's
27:32
Speaker 1: not Ted Bundy. I mean, like you know, like, of
27:34
Speaker 1: course like not to glamorize, but if we're going to
27:36
Speaker 1: talk about like hotties, no, one ever ever mentions Richard Ramirez.
27:41
Speaker 1: Knew you were going to say an amazing bone structure,
27:44
Speaker 1: was a monster, got married in prison, he had hell
27:48
Speaker 1: of women writing to him, showing up for his court dates,
27:51
Speaker 1: sitting in the audience, like, listen, if he wasn't a
27:54
Speaker 1: serial killer, I would sit here and say, Richard Ramires
27:57
Speaker 1: is a baddie, like with perfect bone structure. But you
28:00
Speaker 1: know he was a monster and terrorised the youth side. Like,
28:03
Speaker 1: let's not forget that. But I'm just saying, if we're
28:05
Speaker 1: engaging in that conversation and I call bullshit, it's not sucking,
28:10
Speaker 1: Ted Bundy, I called bullshit. This is whild I met
28:13
Speaker 1: this out. This took I meant every word I said.
28:18
Speaker 1: Do not edit this out? Alright, So moving on, speaking
28:21
Speaker 1: of um, new year, same hose, how's your year treating
28:27
Speaker 1: me so far? This has been a long January. Okay,
28:31
Speaker 1: I feel already ever ending? Yeah, um, but no, I
28:36
Speaker 1: feel like refreshed. I feel ready lots of changes coming.
28:42
Speaker 1: I feel good about it. I feel like we've been
28:45
Speaker 1: talking so much about all the things that we're planning
28:47
Speaker 1: in like we're also seeing it come to life already.
28:50
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, we are reaping. We're reaping the
28:54
Speaker 1: benefits already. We have been sewing a lot of seeds.
28:58
Speaker 1: And even just in the past like seventy two hours,
29:02
Speaker 1: so many things have just come towards into the inbox.
29:06
Speaker 1: Is a treasure trove right now, keep it coming, keep
29:11
Speaker 1: it up. Like even like last night late I get
29:15
Speaker 1: a text from the ASA. Um what with the screenshot
29:20
Speaker 1: containing details I will not share, but it was very exciting,
29:26
Speaker 1: you know. It was more more announcements to come, like
29:32
Speaker 1: a lot more. But anyway, this is a good time
29:34
Speaker 1: to share that we will be at U C. Davis
29:38
Speaker 1: February eight and we will be doing a platica about sexuality,
29:42
Speaker 1: sex education, pleasure consent. See. Yes, there will be a
29:48
Speaker 1: sex toy raffle if Davis or in the surrounding area.
29:51
Speaker 1: Definitely come through. More details to come. Um, yes, that's
29:56
Speaker 1: going to be great. Oh. I just remembered something that
29:59
Speaker 1: I wanted to air today. We had a little birthday
30:03
Speaker 1: party for my grandpa. Happy birthday. Um, he's been stressed
30:08
Speaker 1: recently because of everything going on in Puerto Rico and
30:10
Speaker 1: like all of his sisters you know, live on the island,
30:13
Speaker 1: and very weird. All these earthquakes like not normal for
30:19
Speaker 1: the region, so people people are freaking out obviously, and
30:22
Speaker 1: Pierre has just been through a lot with the hurricanes
30:24
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So anyway, so we had a
30:25
Speaker 1: birthday party for him today, and last year, in towards
30:29
Speaker 1: the end of the year, he said that I was
30:31
Speaker 1: at this morning, he said, I was a chingana nice.
30:36
Speaker 1: I like that shift and like this is a good sign.
30:40
Speaker 1: Is looking Maybe you were in a better mood. Maybe
30:43
Speaker 1: you've been in a better mood. I have been in
30:44
Speaker 1: a better mood. I was. I was that year. It
30:49
Speaker 1: was a little bit kick my ass. I'm not going
30:56
Speaker 1: to share exactly what I went through at the end
31:00
Speaker 1: of the year because I'm going to save that story
31:03
Speaker 1: for something else because it's really fucking funny. But just
31:06
Speaker 1: know that I was like down for the count, like
31:10
Speaker 1: I was done. Like I stayed home for New Year's
31:14
Speaker 1: tried to keep me there, but I survived. I made
31:17
Speaker 1: it to the other side. I'm here, bitch, intact one
31:22
Speaker 1: piece that it was crazy. Oh but I downloaded Hinge
31:29
Speaker 1: and back on the apps. Did you delete it yet? Okay? Look,
31:32
Speaker 1: I asked my i G community on my story if
31:36
Speaker 1: I should delete hinge. One hundred percent of people that
31:39
Speaker 1: responded said yes, bitch, delete that ship or not an app.
31:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what I need. Not an app. You
31:46
Speaker 1: need to meet someone at the dog park. I need
31:49
Speaker 1: a dog dad to help me co parent baba. You
31:52
Speaker 1: know what I was realizing. I'm tired of being responsible
31:55
Speaker 1: for like my own survival, like my own life force,
31:59
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I want to outsource
32:02
Speaker 1: my survival to someone else, like I need a partner
32:04
Speaker 1: to It's really nice having that, Yes, you know what
32:07
Speaker 1: I mean, like saying, keeping myself alive is so much work,
32:11
Speaker 1: so much work. Um. Fernando often asked me like, well,
32:15
Speaker 1: I thought you were a strong, independent woman, and I
32:18
Speaker 1: always respond, no, I am not. I need you to
32:19
Speaker 1: take care of me exactly, because that's his way of
32:23
Speaker 1: like trying to be like, you can do this, go
32:26
Speaker 1: do that, do this, and no, I don't want to
32:29
Speaker 1: take care of me exactly. Stomps foot. Yeah. And then
32:35
Speaker 1: we also had the conversation of how I'm actually a brat. Yeah,
32:39
Speaker 1: that's true, that's true, and feed her. She gets angry.
32:43
Speaker 1: I get really angry. And I didn't know this until
32:45
Speaker 1: we started working. Oh my god, I didn't know this
32:49
Speaker 1: about myself. I like see it coming. And if we're
32:51
Speaker 1: like working with people, I'm like, oh my god, oh
32:53
Speaker 1: my god, I'm god. And I like run and I
32:56
Speaker 1: like get food for her, and then I like to
32:58
Speaker 1: bring her an offering. I'm like, please don't hurt that anyway.
33:08
Speaker 1: I get really tired and I need snacks. I need
33:10
Speaker 1: constant snacks. This happened to me at work this past
33:13
Speaker 1: week where I didn't pack enough snacks and I'm not
33:15
Speaker 1: really cranky. So then that same day, I went to
33:18
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's and I bought a bunch of stuff and
33:20
Speaker 1: I made my own trail mix that's so cute. It
33:22
Speaker 1: was delicious. So I packed myself that all week. So
33:25
Speaker 1: I needed to have multiple snacks about the day. So
33:27
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be more on top of that so
33:29
Speaker 1: that I'm not cranky and I'm not out buying. I
33:33
Speaker 1: spend so much money on food. I spend so much
33:37
Speaker 1: money on food. It's so much easier to just pack
33:40
Speaker 1: the snacks and the lunches. Pack the snacks. Yeah girl, um,
33:44
Speaker 1: if there's any Snacks sponsors that want to place an
33:48
Speaker 1: ad here, yeah, okay, specifically, I'm going to put out
33:51
Speaker 1: a request, you know, like the adult lunchables, the like
33:56
Speaker 1: the portable charcooterie. Basically that's what I anybody out there,
34:01
Speaker 1: that's the sponsorship we want. Those are the snacks we're
34:03
Speaker 1: looking for. Those really get you through, They really do,
34:08
Speaker 1: they really really do. I'm gonna like wish, make a
34:10
Speaker 1: wish on that. Let's hope that it comes true. Let's pray. Alright, y'all,
34:19
Speaker 1: So we are going to get started with our last
34:21
Speaker 1: segment of the day of this episode. Ye look as
34:25
Speaker 1: my favorite segment, the best segment. Let's see what y'all
34:30
Speaker 1: want to know about. Look as here we go. Okay,
34:33
Speaker 1: so this first question is how do you allow yourself
34:37
Speaker 1: to leave a job that isn't fulfilling, fulfilling, feeling that guilt,
34:43
Speaker 1: leave a job that isn't fulfilling, feeling that guilt. Well, Um,
34:50
Speaker 1: the second I get an offer from a job where
34:52
Speaker 1: they're offering me more money, I'm going to take it
34:55
Speaker 1: and not feel bad about it. Because we live in
34:57
Speaker 1: a capitalist society and we have to exchange our labor
35:02
Speaker 1: for money to eat and have housing. I cannot feel guilty.
35:08
Speaker 1: I can't feel guilty. Yeah, and also because your employer
35:11
Speaker 1: will replace you easily, immediately. Immediately, they will replace you.
35:17
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't feel guilty if you are in a
35:22
Speaker 1: position to leave without having another job lined up, meaning
35:26
Speaker 1: you have enough savings, you have you know, housing is secure,
35:31
Speaker 1: all those different things like that's an option for you.
35:33
Speaker 1: I would definitely explore that. If it's not, then I
35:36
Speaker 1: would start applying to new jobs. And also, I think
35:40
Speaker 1: it's important to be it's okay to be picky about
35:43
Speaker 1: the jobs that we applied to and even the jobs
35:45
Speaker 1: we accept. I know, the very first job that I
35:47
Speaker 1: applied to out of college, it seemed amazing, um, and
35:51
Speaker 1: it was also my first job off for ever, and
35:53
Speaker 1: I thought, well, how can I not accept this right?
35:56
Speaker 1: Even though the pay was decent, it was okay, it
35:59
Speaker 1: was isn't great, um, but it was my first job offer.
36:02
Speaker 1: And I could have waited and kept going and looking
36:05
Speaker 1: and applying. But there's like so many things that play
36:08
Speaker 1: like if you've come from a working class background, if
36:10
Speaker 1: you're an immigrant, if you're all these different you know,
36:12
Speaker 1: there's these different things, so many things, so many layers,
36:15
Speaker 1: which kind of just makes you accept these jobs and
36:18
Speaker 1: maybe aren't good for you in the long run. I mean,
36:20
Speaker 1: if you're able to, I'm like, do what you gotta
36:23
Speaker 1: do to survive and to achieve as much happiness as
36:27
Speaker 1: you can. Like, if you can maximize income and happiness
36:30
Speaker 1: at the same time, do it, do it, you know
36:32
Speaker 1: what I mean. But if you've got to kind of
36:34
Speaker 1: hustle and get out of a bad environment in order
36:37
Speaker 1: to maximize your happiness, sometimes you have to like sacrifice
36:41
Speaker 1: some one area right to increase your happiness and overall productivity.
36:47
Speaker 1: Sometimes in other areas, if you hate your job, you're
36:50
Speaker 1: not necessarily actually like working, you know. Like you could
36:54
Speaker 1: be at a job and just hate it and not
36:56
Speaker 1: do shit. Yep, that's a thing, you know. Or you
37:00
Speaker 1: could be at a job where they're just completely overworking you,
37:04
Speaker 1: you know. And so even for health reasons, it's always
37:08
Speaker 1: okay to choose your health over a stressful or unhealthy
37:12
Speaker 1: work environment. I agree, I mean always. I feel guilty
37:15
Speaker 1: taking a sick day. I feel guilty taking time off,
37:18
Speaker 1: Like I really that makes me feel guilty. But I
37:21
Speaker 1: like try to remind myself, like this is literally a
37:24
Speaker 1: lotted to me. I get sick days, I get paid vacation.
37:28
Speaker 1: Not everyone does, right, So I should use it. I
37:31
Speaker 1: need to use it. It's here. If I don't use it,
37:35
Speaker 1: nobody else is going to use it. It's gonna not rollovers.
37:39
Speaker 1: It's not. It's what's the point. I saw a tweet
37:43
Speaker 1: ones Oh my god, I hate that we reference Twitter
37:45
Speaker 1: so much, but it's a thing we are um to
37:50
Speaker 1: put things in perspective. This tweet was like, literally, if
37:53
Speaker 1: you were to die the next day, your employer is
37:57
Speaker 1: like posting your job to be filled. They do not
38:02
Speaker 1: give a ship. The individual human people that you call
38:05
Speaker 1: coworkers you might form relationships with, but the job, the company,
38:11
Speaker 1: the organization, the infrastructure, the machine does not care. The
38:16
Speaker 1: machine is feeling and needs to keep churning out product,
38:21
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So you know, yeah, we're also in
38:27
Speaker 1: like the position of we want to quit our jobs
38:29
Speaker 1: to do this whole time in the mindset, in the mindset,
38:34
Speaker 1: in mind that that's our energy, right yeah, and that
38:37
Speaker 1: we're not saying go quit your job, you know, not
38:40
Speaker 1: site us and say that, because watch we have there
38:46
Speaker 1: are a lot of creatives who like jump into the
38:49
Speaker 1: abyss and quit their jobs without necessarily having a plan.
38:54
Speaker 1: That's a way to do it. Some people do that.
38:57
Speaker 1: We have not done that. We still work full time
38:59
Speaker 1: and do all of this, you know what I mean,
39:01
Speaker 1: because we cannot be without income. We can't just we don't.
39:07
Speaker 1: We we don't have safety nets like that. There's nobody
39:10
Speaker 1: paying our bills for us. We we don't have like
39:14
Speaker 1: inheritance behind us. We don't have like, um, what's it
39:20
Speaker 1: called generational wealth, so you know, like our parents don't
39:25
Speaker 1: support us. So we have been working like triple time,
39:31
Speaker 1: and we're only going to quit our jobs when we
39:33
Speaker 1: are in a position to financially. So we would never
39:37
Speaker 1: we never encourage people, Oh yeah, just quit your job,
39:39
Speaker 1: follow your dream, no bitch, make sure you can pay
39:41
Speaker 1: your bills and you can eat literally, yeah, you know, yeah,
39:45
Speaker 1: they sit and see it's hot. Because we're also of
39:47
Speaker 1: the generation where like as millennials, it is said statistically
39:52
Speaker 1: that like the majority of us only have a thousand
39:55
Speaker 1: dollars in our savings account. And that's like even if
39:58
Speaker 1: you have a savings account, because so many of us
40:00
Speaker 1: can't even do not put money away right we have,
40:03
Speaker 1: We literally spend it all on bills, student loan, debt, healthcare, rent,
40:08
Speaker 1: like all these different things, gas, especially if you live here,
40:12
Speaker 1: so it is advised that you do have six months
40:16
Speaker 1: worth of living expensive in your savings, and who and
40:20
Speaker 1: who has that? I don't know who has that. I
40:22
Speaker 1: know anybody that has that. It's also crazy because I
40:24
Speaker 1: was explaining this to my partner because he doesn't have
40:27
Speaker 1: student loans. He didn't qualify for student loans for any
40:30
Speaker 1: different reasons. So even if I were to get a raise,
40:33
Speaker 1: Let's say I was to get a ten percent increase
40:35
Speaker 1: in my salary, I would then have to report that
40:39
Speaker 1: to my federal loans and private loans, and then my
40:43
Speaker 1: payment will increase. So even if I making more money,
40:47
Speaker 1: more of it is going to get allotted to my
40:48
Speaker 1: student loans. So I still can't put anything into my savings.
40:52
Speaker 1: It's a fucking mess. And then what's crazy to me
40:55
Speaker 1: is sometimes having the loans and paying on them is
40:59
Speaker 1: what boost our credit. I know that's the case for me,
41:02
Speaker 1: that I've been paying on these loans monthly for years
41:06
Speaker 1: and it actually is a benefit to my credit. And
41:09
Speaker 1: then hearing about people once they pay off their loans
41:11
Speaker 1: now their credit is negatively affected because now they're no
41:14
Speaker 1: longer making those monthly high payments. You know what I mean?
41:20
Speaker 1: How do you offset that. I don't know. We need
41:24
Speaker 1: an accountant. That's the other thing we needed ant, A
41:29
Speaker 1: good one, A good one. You know how to handle
41:35
Speaker 1: whatever it is that we do it. If you know
41:37
Speaker 1: how to handle this. We have W two and we
41:40
Speaker 1: have we do so it's like a mess. It's it's
41:45
Speaker 1: it's it's all over the place. So we need a
41:47
Speaker 1: little help if you know an accountant out there, not
41:50
Speaker 1: W two. We have W nine's and we have all
41:53
Speaker 1: those thing of it. So hit us up. Come through. Anyways,
41:57
Speaker 1: next as we went in, we went off on a tangent.
42:03
Speaker 1: You can really tell we feel ways about employment. My god. Yeah, anyway,
42:11
Speaker 1: this question with an eating disorder, what do you think
42:15
Speaker 1: is the best way to deal with food as a Latina?
42:18
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I appreciate when these questions come up.
42:22
Speaker 1: They do come up a lot for us, um, which
42:24
Speaker 1: is valid because it's something we all deal with. But
42:26
Speaker 1: I don't I feel like I give a different answer
42:30
Speaker 1: each time each time this question comes up. I don't
42:33
Speaker 1: remember what my position is on this. Okay, well you
42:36
Speaker 1: think about it. I'm going to answer. Go for it, Okay,
42:39
Speaker 1: for it. So I have been thinking a lot about
42:41
Speaker 1: intuitive eating and I have been trying to practice that.
42:43
Speaker 1: So just letting your body tell you what it is
42:46
Speaker 1: that you want and giving it that. And for me
42:49
Speaker 1: that's helped because I have been like on a consistent
42:52
Speaker 1: gym routine for the past three months. But I'm so
42:56
Speaker 1: then I'm in diet culture and I'm in gym culture,
42:58
Speaker 1: and then it becomes it can become are toxic if
43:00
Speaker 1: you're recovering from an eating disorder. So I'm very cognizant
43:03
Speaker 1: of not getting into any like boot camps like um
43:08
Speaker 1: what are they called um like fitness like six week
43:11
Speaker 1: challenges type of thing, finish challenge challenges because they're all
43:15
Speaker 1: about calorie counting and they offer you quote nutrition. But
43:19
Speaker 1: it's really just it's not good if you've had an
43:22
Speaker 1: eating disorder because it just will spiral into an eating
43:28
Speaker 1: disorder once again. It's just hyper controlled eating is a
43:32
Speaker 1: stepping stone, it really is. It's it's it's its own
43:36
Speaker 1: type of orthorexia. And even thinking about the fact that
43:40
Speaker 1: those fitness things are framed as challenges and kind of
43:46
Speaker 1: making people compete against their own bodies and metabolism, it's
43:51
Speaker 1: very weird, like who really is winning? But any and
43:54
Speaker 1: as we know, those things are like not sustainable, and
43:57
Speaker 1: rapid weight loss is not something that you can keep
44:00
Speaker 1: up with. You will gain the weight back if that's
44:03
Speaker 1: if you're losing weight as a result of those things,
44:05
Speaker 1: and it's just not organic, you know what I mean,
44:09
Speaker 1: it's very forced. Um, I don't think I know the
44:13
Speaker 1: best way to deal with food as a Latina in general, like,
44:18
Speaker 1: even if you don't necessarily have a history of eating disorders, Like,
44:22
Speaker 1: I think it's a constant battle because there's such a
44:25
Speaker 1: deeply entrenched cultural like norm of commenting on people's bodies,
44:30
Speaker 1: and especially women's bodies and weight and dress and and
44:35
Speaker 1: presentation and the way we walk and the way we
44:37
Speaker 1: sit and the way we do our makeup, Like, there
44:39
Speaker 1: is constant commentary. So for me personally, especially because I
44:45
Speaker 1: live with a lot of older people, and you know,
44:48
Speaker 1: it's very hard to like change people's perspectives and minds
44:54
Speaker 1: and ways of communicating. I don't try and do so much.
44:59
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I tried doing like educating and
45:02
Speaker 1: boundary setting and that worked for a little bit, but
45:05
Speaker 1: you know, they're very set in their ways and they
45:08
Speaker 1: forget they're so old. My poor grandparents, you know, and
45:11
Speaker 1: my parents too in their own way. So I just
45:14
Speaker 1: kind of like, I'm desensitized to things. I just let
45:17
Speaker 1: things roll off me. They really don't comment on my
45:20
Speaker 1: body anymore, but they what they do a lot of
45:23
Speaker 1: is like, oh, don't worry like this, this won't make
45:25
Speaker 1: you fat. There's a lot of that stuff. There's a
45:28
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff for like, oh, like if I
45:31
Speaker 1: don't want a secondthea, it's like, oh, she's watching her figure.
45:36
Speaker 1: There's always that sort of commentary. And so it's not
45:39
Speaker 1: like direct and intentionally like malicious, but it's still there.
45:45
Speaker 1: And so in the past I might have said like, well,
45:47
Speaker 1: maybe I want to gain weight, but now I just
45:49
Speaker 1: I don't even need to say anything, you know what
45:52
Speaker 1: I mean. Well, maybe that's my goal. Maybe I do
45:54
Speaker 1: want to gain weight, Maybe I will, you know what
45:56
Speaker 1: I mean. Now, I'm just like, what can one even
46:00
Speaker 1: I'm tired, what can one even say? It doesn't matter? Um, Well,
46:03
Speaker 1: I wanted to plug this uh Latina that I follow
46:07
Speaker 1: on Instagram that's a nutritionist and she talks a lot
46:10
Speaker 1: about recovery eating to sort of recovery and intuitive eating.
46:14
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to shout her out because I'm
46:16
Speaker 1: following her, and she can definitely you can learn more
46:20
Speaker 1: about this subject because she is able to talk about it.
46:24
Speaker 1: So your dot Latina dot nutritionist and she's a dominicana
46:28
Speaker 1: and she has like really cool graphics that she makes,
46:32
Speaker 1: and especially during the holidays, she was like posting a
46:35
Speaker 1: lot about like it's okay to eat, you know, for
46:39
Speaker 1: the holidays, Like it's okay, you know, So like all
46:41
Speaker 1: those different things of normalizing eating because it is normal
46:45
Speaker 1: and it's weird because it's like we make tons of
46:50
Speaker 1: food and then at family gatherings there's tons of food, right,
46:55
Speaker 1: but then we can't but then I did, I'm like
46:57
Speaker 1: not supposed to eat it or I can't eat it
46:59
Speaker 1: without some sideways commentary. It's very frustrating, but I'm like,
47:05
Speaker 1: this is our culture and I am but one bitty bitch,
47:09
Speaker 1: and I can't change the entire thing. I can only
47:12
Speaker 1: control my little spear, you know, Yes, I agree, and
47:18
Speaker 1: just control my language when I'm talking about food, you know,
47:22
Speaker 1: and try and lead by example. You know. I'm just
47:26
Speaker 1: tired over it's been so many years. It's st a lot.
47:31
Speaker 1: Yeah right now I'm like trying to I'm ok making
47:35
Speaker 1: it okay and normalizing it to myself that I don't
47:37
Speaker 1: have to go to the gym every day because I
47:39
Speaker 1: used to be like when Mole and I started recording,
47:41
Speaker 1: I had a trainer, Like I was very hyper like active,
47:46
Speaker 1: had a trainer, um and all of that. So okay
47:50
Speaker 1: that I don't go to the gym five days a
47:52
Speaker 1: week and really go to days two days. There really
47:54
Speaker 1: is one day or not at all that week, and
47:56
Speaker 1: it's fine. So just like normalizing your just jans and
48:00
Speaker 1: like letting yourself know is okay. Yeah, that helps absolutely
48:04
Speaker 1: at Thank you for that question. Last question, this is
48:10
Speaker 1: a spicy one, and our listeners are constantly trying to
48:13
Speaker 1: get us to fight each other on air. Don't think
48:17
Speaker 1: we don't notice. What read the question? These instigators, what
48:24
Speaker 1: is your favorite and least favorite thing about each other?
