Let’s make America fun again.
Let’s make America fun again.
Hi, I’m Annie.
And I’m Elle, and welcome to our trash parade.
Hey, how are you?
0:22
I’m.
Good.
How you doing?
I’m.
Doing OK?
Just chilling here.
Sun just went down in Texas, so it’s a nice fall night.
Yeah.
So we have Venus moving into Scorpio today.
0:38
Annie, how’s it making you feel?
Dark, slightly angry, but like in a very hot way.
Look, I have my skulls but cheetah print SKS It’s Scorpio time I.
0:59
Love it?
If, like your Venus and Scorpio Mojo right now were like a person, who would it be?
Maybe like Lady Gaga Born This Way era.
Maybe like a government hooker or something like.
1:16
That because I love it.
Bloody Mary maybe?
Yes, that’s a good song.
I miss Weird Gaga.
I wish she would come back and visit us for a while, but I guess we’re stuck with a Star is Born Gaga probably permanently now.
1:40
Well, you know, she’s got that Joker movie coming out soon, so she’s going to be pretty dark for that, I would imagine.
Yeah, I hope she’s really good in that dude.
How many fucking remakes of those movies are we going to have?
I feel like it’s not been enough time like I feel.
2:00
Like there’s Joker is like, it’s like a part, a Part 2.
It’s still the Joaquin Phoenix guy.
She’s.
What’s that?
I don’t.
I don’t know.
I don’t know any of these things.
2:16
She’s the blonde chick from Suicide Squad.
She’s Harley Quinn.
Yeah, yeah.
But we already had.
So we had Heath Ledger Joker, and that was like the most or one of the more recent, like, franchise reboots.
2:34
And then we had Joaquin Phoenix Joker and then we had, oh, what’s his name, Jerry Letto Joker.
And those are just like the recent ones.
And that doesn’t include like Jack Nicholson Joker from like the Tim Burton movies back in the day.
2:52
So I feel like we’re seeing, I feel like there’s been so many Batmans and so many Jokers and like now we’ve had like multiple Harley Quinn’s.
I don’t know what’s going on.
It’s, it’s a lot.
3:07
I mean, I feel like the the reboots of everything are happening a lot faster now.
Like ’cause then we had that like Ben Affleck Batman, which was like adjacent to the other Batman, like not the same thing.
But we also had Robert Pattinson as Batman and then Christian Bale, and those were all different franchises.
3:30
So I don’t understand how there’s like that many franchises making the same.
I don’t know.
I don’t get it but.
Yeah, when it comes to any of the comic book shit, I don’t get it.
I do not give a fuck.
I don’t like those movies.
3:46
The only ones that I enjoy are Guardians of the Galaxy, cause like space is fun, It’s my thing.
But the rest of those movies, I don’t have time for that shit.
I like the Batman movies only because I feel like Batman doesn’t have special powers.
4:10
He’s just like like more just a centric 1 percenter that like thinks he can do whatever he wants.
So it’s like more believable you can suspend that.
I feel like the plot is a lot more emotional usually and dark, and I like the villains and all the Batman movies I did.
4:32
Enjoy Batman.
I mean, the Tim Burton with Michael Keaton was so good.
Christian Bale, I did see.
I think there’s three of them.
I saw two of them for sure.
The one with Heath Ledger is like, amazing.
4:49
It was so good.
I’ve never seen the Robert Patterson.
Patterson.
I don’t even know.
Is that his name?
I don’t know.
He looks dirty.
The Dirty Vampire kid.
I never.
I never saw Ben Affleck as Batman either.
5:07
I don’t.
Know the Robert Pattinson one was decent.
I still think it was too soon and like I refuse to entertain the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman.
He will always be the the guy that works at the Casual Male to me and that is like who he is.
5:25
He is the character from Ball Rats.
I feel like he probably wasn’t even acting when he was in that role.
He just like gives me the creeps.
But I like those.
And I like the Thor movies.
I don’t like the rest of that franchise, but I like the Thor movies because they were funny.
5:44
Like they were funny action movies I like.
I don’t understand the other ones.
I can’t suspend my I never read the comics.
I can’t suspend my disbelief for like, an emotional experience.
6:00
I’m just like, this is ridiculous.
This guy is shooting webs out of his arms and William Dafoe is like riding a surfboard in the sky for no reason, right?
Yeah, I and I fell asleep for Wonder Woman.
6:16
Those were not good.
I was very disappointed because when I was a kid, Wonder Woman was my jam.
Lynda Carter.
I thought she was so beautiful.
I, like, wanted to be her when I was a kid.
Me.
Too.
6:31
I loved Wonder Woman.
Like, yeah, I never saw those movies, but I heard they were bad, so I didn’t watch.
They’re.
Very bad.
Very, very bad.
What was like, so bad about them?
6:46
Were they just cheesy or?
Well, the second one I I don’t even think I got halfway through before I fell asleep like Rudy’s parents were here.
I just couldn’t the the acting, like the girl who is like Wonder Woman is not a good actress.
7:06
Like, she’s very flat on her delivery and like, I just don’t believe that she would be Wonder Woman.
I don’t know.
And she’s not doing cool shit.
And like, there’s all, like, there’s the Chris Pine character, so like, she does, you know, in the end it’s about love or whatever, like, stop.
7:30
Why can’t a girl just like, kick some ass?
Because she’s from this other, like place where women kick ass and she’s here to do a job, to kick ass and like, she doesn’t have to be in love with some man.
There’s always got to be like love attached.
7:49
Sometimes people just want to go on an adventure and like kick ass like let’s.
Be happy with.
That.
Someone used to remake The Bionic Woman.
Do you remember that?
No.
That was like a a show back in the day.
8:06
And like every time she would go bionic you would hear this like, sound effect that was like and like she’d be running really fast because she had like superpowers or something.
Let’s like remake that and then maybe she can just kick some ass.
8:22
That would be cool.
I want chicks that can kick some ass.
I want some kill bill shit.
Bring it back.
Yeah, that’s what we need.
Yeah, we need some Kill Bill shit.
I still want a Pussy Wagon.
One of these days I’ll have one, I think.
I mean, it will be a cooler.
8:39
It won’t be a truck, but it will be something called the Pussy Wagon.
Love it.
All right.
Well, now that we’re like embracing our Venus in Scorpio, we’re feeling a little dark and a little sexy.
Let’s talk about something like dark and unsexy.
8:59
And I think, sorry to jump into it out of nowhere, but it’s just been on my mind this week.
Like some of the conversation that we’re having about global stuff and the cultures that are in conversation right now.
9:21
Susan Sarandon, who I love, said some really shitty shit.
You guys can Google it yourselves, but she, like, really went over the line this week and it upset me.
And I normally don’t care, ’cause like celebrities talk about a bunch of dumb shit all the time and stuff that they think they know things about and they don’t or whatever.
9:45
And it’s not really like my jam to follow all that, but I felt like, like her comment about how Jews are now just experiencing what Muslims have, the adversity Muslims have been living in in this country for the first time since this whole conflict escalated in in Gaza.
10:09
That was like really ignorant.
Like it was a really ignorant comment.
And I think what pissed me off the most about it was that this is something I see like in all of it’s like part of American culture and I could even say possibly part of like, global culture.
10:29
It’s like you take two marginalized groups and like, you pit them against each other because everybody is so worried about, like, scoring points with the right people or being on the right side of the conflict.
And people lose sight of the fact that we’re an ocean away from a really horrible, horrible fucking conflict where a lot of people are dying and we need to.
10:58
I don’t hear the valuing of life in anybody’s voice when they’re making ignorant comments like that.
Obviously we could sit here and list 1,000,000 reasons why I believe, and I think it’s like very obvious that Jewish people have faced a lot of fucking problems here and everywhere else around the world.
11:19
And the same goes for Muslims, especially post 911.
They’re different stories, but there is still pain there on both sides.
And, like, it bothers me that people are worried about like, who’s the most?
11:38
I don’t know.
It’s just like somebody whose culture or being targeted, like, for some bigotry or being targeted by bigots and like being forced to deal with violence as a result of like, a lot of the, like attacks that people have been making on Muslims and Jews in the United States since this conflict amped up in October.
12:02
Like, I think it’s stupid to argue about who’s having it worse.
Like, you know, I don’t.
I’m talking about here in America, like we don’t need to be arguing about, like, whether or not Jews are more persecuted than Muslims or vice versa.
12:20
I think what we are losing sight of the fact that what is important is that, like, the persecution is happening, the hate crimes are happening and this exists.
Like it is a fucking problem.
And if we’re sitting here arguing about whether or not, like, the Jews are more wrong than the Muslims, or vice versa, or any other stupid shit that I’ve been hearing in discourse lately, like, you’re losing sight of the fact that, like, people are not their fucking governments, #1.
12:51
They are not their governments.
They are people.
Nobody here deserves in America or anywhere else to be targeted by their skin color, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and like have hate crimes and discrimination enacted upon them.
13:08
Like we are all more similar than we realize.
If everybody has a different story, everybody has a different background.
But the fact of the matter is, is that we’re playing into somebody else’s hands by, you know, being like, oh, we don’t like this group of people.
13:31
We don’t like this group of people.
Like the truth is, both of them are marginalized.
And the more we bicker about all of this, the less like, the less we’re in touch with the humanity and the people that are involved in all these conflicts here and abroad.
13:48
The loss of life, the violence, the way that it’s affecting everybody’s lives.
And if we’re distracted by that and having like arguments at rallies about how Jewish people are just now understanding what it feels like to be targeted, which is anti-Semitic as fuck.
14:06
Or I’m sure there’s other shitty shit that people have said about Muslims in a like, very similar vein.
We’re not paying attention to what’s actually happening and the people that are actually, like, fucking our lives up.
And this goes for anybody.
14:24
Like there are tons of marginalized groups in the country, There’s tons of people that, like, get shit on by everybody else.
And the people that are causing our problems are billionaires.
They’re billionaires that want us to be angry at other people and blame other people for our conflict, for foreign policy, for our economy.
14:51
And the more we sit here and bicker with each other about like who’s a shitty person or who deserves to be like Shat On or like whatever kind of like dumb discourse we are having.
15:07
We are not united in the fact that there are people that are fucking us up.
They want us distracted.
They want us arguing with people.
And that’s just like what makes me angry.
And they always will pit 2 marginalized groups against each other.
And I think they do that on purpose.
15:25
I feel like you can see a lot of that with like, you know, poor people.
Like there’s a lot of discourse about how like the Latinos are not going to are going to like come and take your jobs and they’re fucking up our economy and our border security.
15:43
It’s like, well, guess what, poor people, these billionaires took all of your money.
The people in power are enabling them all.
It’s not Latinos coming for your jobs.
They want you to be angry at that person so that you can’t unite with everybody and like, actually stop this shit.
16:00
And I feel like you also have problems.
Like, you know, look at, like some of the discourse that’s going on in the trans community, in the gay community.
Like, I feel like there’s friction there too.
And like, I feel like it goes on and on and on and on.
16:18
And like, you could name any group of people, and there’s always, like, a demographic of people that are lining up to say that’s the problem, that’s the problem.
And the more that we’re like this, the less likely we are to, like, be able to do something that’s good for all of us.
16:35
And I just want people to realize that this is not about, like, how many followers like you or dislike you or agree with what you have to say.
And whether or not you’re going to make, like, the best statement ever on the horrible things that are happening, whether it’s in Ukraine or Russia or or Ukraine or Russia or Gaza or anywhere else in the world.
17:00
Like, take a moment and think about how many people are fucking dying right now.
And put yourself in the shoes of anybody that was involved in any side of that conflict, whether they were part of the attacks by Hamas or they’re part of the attacks in or the offensive in Gaza.
17:21
Like, I think we have, this is insane.
But they’re estimating 15,200 people, but we don’t really know, have died in Gaza.
And that is, we don’t know if that’s, you know, people in the military or how many of those people are just civilians.
17:42
We don’t know about that, ’cause we don’t have good information.
And Israel is disputing those numbers.
Still a huge number, just to give you like a little bit of a like another number to kind of put that in perspective, like since we’ve been at war in Ukraine and this is only civilian casualties, we’re looking at about 10,000 people.
18:03
So we’re looking at like a year and a half, two years versus two months.
Like that’s a lot of dead people.
And, like, feel like if we took a moment to, like, put ourselves in the shoes of the people we think are the problem.
18:19
But I’m not talking about the government’s.
I’m not talking about the people that are, like, actually launching these attacks.
And I’m not talking about, like, the government’s.
But you’re talking about your neighbor that may have lost somebody in Israel or your neighbor that may have lost families in Palestine.
18:39
Put yourself in those shoes.
Do we really need to have a pissing match right now about who has it harder?
This conflict sucks for everybody.
It needs to stop.
And if I think we have more of those conversations, realize how much how similar we are.
18:55
We all feel pain the same way and like just people just stop doing stupid shit, please, and stop saying stupid shit that’s like hurtful to other people.
Like everybody is hurting right now and like it’s a time to show up from one another.
It’s not a time to like, get clicks and fucking virtue signal how awesome you are.
19:16
Like, please just take a moment to like, recognize the gravity of the situation.
It’s not just a media cycle.
People are dying.
Sorry.
That’s all I have to say.
That’s my Venus in Scorpio.
I feel very passionately.
I.
19:32
Think about some dark shit.
Like there, there’s been a real lack of compassion towards other humans for a while and I think part of that comes from the constant news constantly cycling through social media.
19:58
So we’re always seeing bombings.
We’re always seeing this stuff going on and it becomes almost not real and.
You know what you’re saying is 100% right.
This is real.
These people are real who are suffering.
20:17
Putting the politics aside, because there’s a lot that goes into this conflict.
We should be uniting for peace and uniting for a goal for peace, not this constant.
20:47
You know your side is wrong.
My side is right.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m very tired of people saying, you know, this is colonialism, this is this, this is that.
21:04
This is so complicated.
And if you are getting your information from TikTok videos, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
If you’re getting your information just from the little clips you’re watching on the news, you probably don’t know what you’re talking about.
This is very complicated and that this is not a new problem.
21:24
This has been going on for years and you know we there was almost an agreement at one time with Yasser Arafat.
We were very close to the two state solution and you know it last minute it failed.
21:45
And that is because this is such a complicated issue and I wish people would just like really recognize that we don’t know everything, like we don’t know all the details.
We don’t live in this region.
22:02
Like this region has a whole lot of very different cultures, different ways of doing things.
I mean, they still have kings and parts of the Middle East, you know, and this is more complicated than just Israel and Palestine, you know, we know that Iran is involved.
22:28
So like, when it comes to the politics, don’t be an asshole.
People are losing their lives and we should all be asking for a path to peace.
And like, I’m think that a lot of us are on that page and I think that you’re totally right, that like we need the compassion, we need to show compassion towards others.
22:57
And it’s not about Muslim and Jewish, you know.
So in this country it is about Latino, black, sometimes Chinese people are going through shit when China stuff Revs up.
23:13
In America, we have everything in this country.
We have every type of person here.
A lot of countries don’t have that.
And we’re very lucky in America that we get to interact with people from different cultures because it gives us an opportunity to actually learn about the person.
23:30
And if you took the time to learn about your neighbor, you would have your eyes opened and see where they’re coming from and not hold on to your opinions so tightly.
Like, it’s OK to open your mind and it’s OK to listen to other opinions and find out why somebody is coming from the place that they’re coming from.
24:06
I think that something really important too is that, like, I don’t think that listening is being complicit.
Right.
Listening is one of the most important things you could do for any any relationship building.
24:27
You have to listen like you don’t have a choice.
Yeah, I well, I think too.
It’s like, I feel like it’s like I’ve known people have like some really, like, wild fucking views.
24:43
And sometimes like, I want to know why, like, they think that way.
And I don’t agree with them.
But that doesn’t mean that like, I’m agreeing to them by, like listening to what they’re saying and what they have to say.
Because, like, I want to understand, like, where this is coming from, you know?
25:03
And I want to understand, like, the feelings that are there.
Like, it helps put things in context for me, ’cause I feel like at the end of the day, like, we are all driven by fear.
It’s in our DNA, like our DNA.
25:21
That’s why we dream.
It’s why we like, you know, like are afraid of snakes.
It’s a why.
Like, you know, the human body is wired to like, react to fear.
25:37
And that’s just part of the human experience.
And I think what makes us better than animals is the fact that like we also have the frontal lobe and we also have other higher processing areas of our brain that can allow us to learn about things and then not be afraid of them anymore.
25:57
And I think that that’s important to realize.
And like, if you don’t listen to people and you don’t want to hear about their experience, like you’re not learning anything about them, about how the world works.
26:15
Because the world is just comprised of, like, lots of us, you know, and there are larger systems in power.
And if you don’t understand, like how each little bit works and how each little bit feels, it’s like you’re never going to get anywhere understanding life or the world or anything.
26:39
It’s like people don’t make sense if you don’t understand how cells work, right?
So like, the world doesn’t make sense if you don’t understand how a person works.
And I just, it makes me sad that we’re just like seeing all this death and it’s like an everyday thing now.
26:57
And it’s become such an abstract concept.
It’s an abstract concept to talk about what’s going on all over the world.
It’s not like being dealt with the gravity of the fact that there’s like people really dying, you know, let’s be fucking respectful of one another, you know?
27:17
That’s it.
And I think that what people are not realizing is lots of things can be true at the same time.
There’s not just one right, one wrong.
27:34
That’s not how life works.
There’s so many complicated issues when it comes to Israel and Palestine, and both sides have a lot of things that have happened to them that have led them to this point, good and bad.
27:57
And they both exist at the same time.
And we need to really start opening up the our thinking and to understanding that most of the time nothing is all good and nothing is all bad, That there’s a lot of truths that can come out of many different sides.
28:23
And humans are complex because we’re emotional, are emotionally complex, and some people, you slight them just a bit and they’re going to fucking freak out.
Some people, you can just keep giving it to them and they’re going to laugh it off.
28:41
Everybody’s different and the only way to know what kind of person you’re talking to is if you talk to them and engage in dialogue and conversation.
And there’s a lot of people that I don’t like, that I have had full conversations with day after day, and I can get along.
29:03
Still, it doesn’t, you know, they’re not my friend.
I wouldn’t hang out with them like outside of work, but I can get along to get along.
And like, I feel like we’ve lost that.
And I think a lot of that has to do with our media and our news.
29:30
You know, you and I were talking about Fox News before we started recording.
And you know, Fox News has an agenda.
And I I mean, I think that like CNNMSNBC also have an agenda, but certain types of people are gravitating towards certain outlets.
29:56
And I feel like all of these people who consider themselves journalists need to start taking responsibility for what they’re actually reporting.
Your opinion is not fact.
Tell me what is happening so I can educate myself and know why something is happening.
30:21
Not just like they’re bad and you shouldn’t support them.
That’s like not how the world works.
You know, if you told me I don’t like this chick over here, ’cause she’s an asshole and I’m going to, you know, I’ll say why and you’ll be like, I don’t know.
30:38
She just is.
It’s my responsibility to, you know, If I have to talk to this person, it’s my responsibility to be open minded.
Maybe that person’s an asshole for you, but they’re not for me, you know?
So I think that, like, that open dialogue and listening is very important.
31:01
And I think when it comes to like the news, we need to bring back journalistic standards and we need, we need like real journalists to, like tell us what is going on.
31:22
Because like, we’re just not getting the information and people are just getting sound bites.
And that is causing a lot of opinions that are uneducated and it’s not fair for anybody you know.
31:46
I I mean, I think there are definitely still great journalists out there.
I don’t really consider like any of the, I know technically they’re journalists, but I don’t consider reporters to really be like journalists.
32:06
You know what I mean?
Like, Chris Cuomo wasn’t like hitting the road and like interviewing people for shit that like because he just wanted to report on a story that happened.
Like he’s given his topics and he goes and report, you know, interviews people that like pertain to whatever he’s talk, you know, talking about.
32:30
And I think that’s a lot different than a lot of people that do like the hard work of investigative reporting.
But I also think like we are seeing like a huge attack on the news just generally because like the local news is all getting like farmed out by larger corporations.
32:52
So they like don’t have money.
A lot of these things are getting like replaced by AI and you know, you don’t have a local news anymore.
It’s, you know, in the quality.
If you you have the local news, the quality is like really, really bad.
33:11
I think that’s a problem.
It also keeps people disconnected from their community.
But I see, like I especially have heard a lot of journalists talk about that degradation and I feel like the news channels, those are so difficult for me to watch because I feel like, yes, I can, we can.
33:36
Look at statistics.
If you want and like, see who has, like who reports the truth the more.
And it’s going to probably land exactly where you thought it would.
But I also feel like, yes, the reporting news, but it’s not news, it’s fucking entertainment.
33:54
Like, I feel like the amount of news that you’re going to see on any kind of news network is so like, slim.
It’s mostly editorial content and I feel like that it’s entertainment that’s not the news.
34:11
You know, It’s like people have the right to say whatever they’re going to say.
But like don’t tell me that when somebody came on, gave a 5 minute speech and a little sound bite to address something or confirm information.
How can you turn that into a four hour piece of like, news and you’re covering it for four hours.
34:34
And it’s like we have to sit here and listen to like all these other people give their opinion on like what really happened.
What you know, the, you know, this that.
And the other thing.
When in the end of the day, like it’s all manufactured to give you some kind of emotional response and a sense of urgency.
34:50
Like, you have to tune in because you need to know what’s going on.
When that piece of information could have been given in a very like, factual way.
It could have been discussed briefly and then we move on to the next piece.
But these people need ratings.
They’re on 24 hours a day, so they have to always be talking about something.
35:09
And it’s all about making money.
And like, the more that you can whip people into an emotional state when they’re responding to the news, the more likely they are to turn TuneIn.
And I don’t think that people should be, you know, engaging with that type of media without being aware of what it’s like doing to you, ’cause I don’t think a lot of us realize it is doing something to us.
35:36
And I will sit there and start feeling like a certain kind of way sometimes when I’m watching news and I’m just like, oh, this is like a really gross feeling.
Yeah.
And that it’s that gross feeling like that you keep going back for because you feel like you need to know what’s happening.
35:55
And I’m not advocating for like ignorance of like current events.
I’m just saying like, we need to be more mindful of like, are we ingesting information or are we making somebody money?
That isn’t basically the question I think we should be asking ourselves.
36:14
And I want to add that it’s not just news channels.
It’s what you’re reading.
You need to look at how things are set up.
We There’s an article that I shared with Michelle and the way they set up the article had the person’s name comma a drug addict comma and then went into the story.
36:44
Something like that is going to cloud the perception of the reader, and it might get picked up in a 32nd video on TikTok or on Insta.
And you’re going to hear just this little bit that is not giving you the full story.
37:02
And everything has a bias and you have to recognize when you’re reading the set up and like how they’re telling you the story because in the end they’re telling stories or you know, I mean there are like, like Michelle said, they’re a wonderful journalist.
37:23
Sub Stack has some amazing people on there.
But, and the day-to-day, we’re all getting our bullshit from Insta and from Tiktok and from whatever platform you’re using at whatever.
And we’re getting micro stories and that is making people super opinionated really fast without having any of the information.
37:50
I agree, and I want to get a little conspiratorial.
Here is my little Scorpio action going on.
Please.
I.
Love conspiracies.
Yes, I feel like we could look at a graph of, like, the, like, decline of the liberal arts and compare it to a graph of, like, how heated people’s political opinions are and they might have some correlations.
38:25
That’s just my conspiracy, ’cause I feel like, you know, everybody wants to shit on the liberal arts and like people are underfunding those departments or just trying to get rid of them.
I think it’s really important.
38:43
I’m not saying everyone should have a liberal arts degree, but like you should take, you should have as part of your, you know, K through 12 curriculum and at least like a little bit of what you’re doing in college, like some liberal arts.
39:01
Learn some critical thinking, right?
Learn language, read stories, and have somebody explain those devices to you.
Because as soon as you start, that’s what gets the brain going, that’s what gets you intelligent.
The difference between reading information and synthesizing information.
39:20
And I feel like people hate liberal arts so much, at least on the right, because it does create critical thinkers.
And we’re not.
We need to have that.
We need people to understand the language.
39:36
Like, you can tell when you’re being manipulated.
I think, like most people do.
But like some of that stuff I just, like, will pick up just from having like, you know, learn to engage like that.
And I’m just like, Oh my God, what the fuck are these people saying?
39:53
Like, we need to see.
We need the critical thinkers, you know?
Everybody is capable of being a critical thinker, like.
And I feel like that’s part of the reason why we’re like, not funding these departments is ’cause we, they’re people are easy to control when they don’t think for themselves or they don’t like or they take things for granted, you know, question everything.
40:18
I think, I mean that was done on purpose.
No Child Left Behind act change the way that we educate people and remember when we were kids, remember they had save the music because they were getting rid of the arts.
40:35
And like, I think people don’t realize how important the arts are.
One, it makes you use different parts of your brain.
Whether you’re playing an instrument or you’re painting or you know you’re, you’re learning a new skill.
40:56
That is something that is not math or science, but those skills help you with math and.
Exactly.
And you know, when it comes to critical thinking that No Child Left Behind at changed how we score school, so everything’s based off of a test, when we’re just testing and it’s a multiple choice, you’re no longer getting problem solving.
41:29
I mean, people nowadays get mad over the wording of a math problem because they find that, you know, it’s like too liberal.
And that’s wild to me.
But obviously it’s so we can control people.
41:46
We need soldiers and we need menial workers and you’re not going to get those things if you have an educated public.
And if you can turn those soldiers and menial workers against each other or against other people so that we, you know, aren’t angry at what’s actually happening, that’s all the better for people who are trying to make as much money as humanly possible while they’re on this planet.
42:20
Like we I just want to say, Annie, you and I, we need to visit an entire I want to do a Gilded Age episode.
Let’s put a pin in this because this could veer off into like a whole nother four or five hours.
42:39
But I think we need to do a deep dive here.
But I’m just going to say it, I’ve said it again, This is a second Gilded Age that we’re living in.
It’s.
Fucking things are fucking ugly now.
The Gilded Age, right?
What beautiful architecture.
42:56
I know.
Loathing.
Oh my God.
And we’re all wearing garbage bags by Balenciaga.
Balenciaga.
I hate.
That so much but before the whole like them taking pictures of kids in really fucking strange ways.
43:21
I hate it, Balenciaga.
Their clothes are disgusting and the way that they laugh at people, they mock poor people and I just.
I don’t understand how people can support them.
This is not the Balenciaga of like years and years ago that were like creating beautiful clothing.
43:43
Like they sell literal garbage bags.
What?
The fuck?
I feel like the garbage bags were like just a they were like a little bit of a a moose boosh before we got the PS.
44:06
David is just tons.
Which was the towel skirt.
That was what they were warming us up for.
The towel skirt.
The skirt that looks like a towel that you’re wearing is literally just a towel.
And it was like $6000 or something like that.
44:28
And it was saying like 100% cotton towel.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh my God.
Valenciaga will have like 2 looks that I like out of like every season.
44:48
Like I liked those handbags that they did where the sleeve was like part of the bag that was really cool and they always have like one or two looks.
But I love like an apocalyptic look.
But for the most part I don’t like anything that they do.
45:07
They, I don’t understand.
Disgusting.
I I doesn’t drive me to the point of disgust.
45:22
I just think it’s absurd.
But I could understand why people would be disgusted with Balenciaga.
They’re not.
They are definitely not in league with some of the other creators that are of their caliber.
I will say it.
45:41
If I see something that I’m completely disgusted by when I’m looking through fashion things, I’m like, I bet that’s Balenciaga and I’m 100% even if it’s regular clothes, I’m like, oh God no.
46:05
Oh, I don’t think Cristobal would be happy to see what has happened to his label.
But no, no.
Do you have a designer you really do like?
I mean, I love some Dolce and Gabbana.
46:25
I think they.
And I love Versace, of course.
I mean, I’m Italian through and through, and I love Italian designers.
They know how to dress women.
I love the curves, I love the lace.
And you know, like to me, Versace can be a little bit gaudy, but that’s exactly what Southern Italian is like, is gaudy and it is gold and it is shiny and I like, respect it and I really enjoy that.
47:01
And Dulce is just sexy to me.
I just love dulce.
I love Dulce.
They did.
Oh my God, this was like 5 or 10 years ago.
This like a really beautiful spring collection and everything had like gold, like different gold embellishments on it.
47:22
And it was so like, it was so reminiscent of like relics in a church, like in a Catholic Church and like rosaries.
But it was like very like, you know, I loved it.
I remember, I wish I could remember what year that collection was, but I loved all their looks.
47:40
I love Dolce, I think.
Who’s your favorite?
If you could like buy anything or have it made for you, like who would you go to 1st?
Wow, Alexander McQueen.
47:58
Oh fuck yeah.
I wanna give though the new director a couple years though, to see if there’s they’re gonna live up to my expectations.
Cause like, Sarah Burton did a great job.
She worked with me for so long, she was like his, you know, #1 and now that she’s left, there’s like, really, it makes me feel like there’s really nothing left of Alexander McQueen.
48:21
So I really hope that whoever I forget who took over it, I hope that they, like, keep him alive in spirit there.
But yeah, I would definitely like I would go with Alexander McQueen or Valentino.
Oh yeah, yeah.
48:40
I just love that Alexander McQueen.
I mean, you know, he has like the awesome skills from working on Savile Rose, so he was an excellent tailor and like fine tailoring is part of their brand.
And then he worked in Italia in Italy.
48:56
I forget the the gentleman’s name, but he worked with another fashion house down in Italy and learned a lot of other things there.
Learning picked up a lot of the stuff that you’re talking about with like kind of like the Italian look and the embellishment and that kind of thing.
49:15
And he also did like a bunch of fetish work, which ’cause he was learning from another designer from he should I forget where I’ll like link to this information, ’cause I’m like really flubbing the specific details, but you see it like I’ll come into this like a beautiful, like synthesis of idea.
49:37
And I love that.
Like every collection is a concept and they’re all dark.
It’s dark and like sometimes apocalyptic and but it always like references, history and like the couture.
Like just the amount of time that it takes to like put together the embellishments on those gowns.
50:00
Like everything is assembled.
Yes.
Oh my God, with love.
His last collection that he did, that was his posthumous collection.
Oh my God, it is my fucking favorite.
50:17
I think you would love it too.
You’ve probably seen it.
But it’s got like those throwbacks.
I think it was called like that was it was some reference like virgins, Saints and angels.
I don’t remember what they called it, but it was I.
Think.
We saw.
That the museum, right?
50:35
Yeah, that whole collection was so beautiful and so ethereal.
And it’s like, I love every garment they’ve ever made.
I would love to be dressed head to toe and McQueen like for the rest of my life, like he’s hands down my favorite.
50:53
But I will settle for Valentino.
Love it.
Yeah, well, I think it’s good to have something a little bit positive to talk about.
51:08
A little joy fashion.
Oh my God.
I love dude.
I’m sorry, but call me whatever you like.
Call me vain Call me like indulgent.
But I fucking love looking good.
51:25
I love clothes.
I love feeling like I’m.
I’m a whole mood like and I love being in a whole mood and like dressing to express that mood.
I just, it’s all about that for me.
And I love like all the girly shit.
51:42
Like I love it.
I love it.
I love makeup.
I love like a fucking good look, man.
Like just makes me feel so glamorous and like.
Some perfume like.
Yeah, Oh yeah.
52:01
What is your go to scent?
Well, OK, my bottle’s almost out, but I’ve been using this Versace perfume.
It’s like, I don’t know what.
52:16
I don’t know which one it is, ’cause there’s like 4 different ones.
I don’t know if it’s the noir, it just is.
I mean, it’s a little heavy, a little sweet though, and like, it just like takes over.
52:37
Yeah, like.
Very sweet, like slow kind of way.
It reminds me of like just the vibe of New Orleans.
It’s just it kind of slowly takes over and I’m, I’m really into it right now, but I’m almost out of it, so.
52:56
Oh no, it sucks when you run out of like your favorite shit.
This smell sounds like What’s the name of it again?
I got a look.
I’ll send you a picture.
I don’t remember which one it was, ’cause there was like different ones I was trying, and this one was like my favorite one.
53:12
What do you wear?
I have a lot of fragrance and I changed them up like depending on my mood and then depending on my season.
So like in the summer I’ll wear more like citrus and floral and like bright like herbal sense.
53:30
And then in the winter I like to go with like a little bit of Musk and powder and like spice type of thing.
So I just like kind of what I’m wearing to reflect my mood.
But like my go to scent like in the summer is not a perfume by Juliette has a gun.
53:51
So I wear that one a lot.
I really, really love that scent and it’s like a one note scent.
It, I don’t know how to describe it.
It’s like really fresh.
It’s like a really fresh scent.
So I wear that one a lot and then I also wear, I wear this scent called Phyllis Sokos by Diptique.
54:17
And that one is inspired by the scent of a wet fig orchard.
So it smells like ripe figs that are still on the vine and you get like the dirt and the grass coming through and it just makes me like transport to another place.
54:38
It just it feels very like sensual but also like bright and clean and fresh.
And then in the winter, I like to wear volutees, which is also bi diptique.
And that one is like it’s got tobacco and powder and like cinnamon and fresh herbs.
55:04
It’s supposed to smell like a tobacco or it’s supposed to smell like spice chips coming into poured and it’s supposed to smell like the make up that the women were wearing.
And they’re always like smoking and like all that.
I wear that a lot in the winter time.
55:21
That’s like a beautiful scent.
I love it.
I just.
I love.
Fragrance Love winter because you can throw on that heavier and it’s, it’s feels luxurious to be like because yeah, the summertime you got to go like light, you know a citrusy, a little vanilla.
55:49
And yeah, totally.
I don’t know.
I just, I love fragrance.
I have so many different fragrances and I love them all like just like to mix them up and like be in a different mood every day.
It’s like the small.
56:05
Things in life.
It’s all about this Venus and Scorpio, man like.
Yeah.
Fragrances and sensual shit.
Yeah, totally.
I feel like it’s a very, like, primal sensuality and also like the joy of like creativity in something dark, you know what I mean?
56:30
Like, it’s just that’s definitely a Venus in Scorpio vibe, for sure.
I love it.
I feel like.
I feel like January is going to be a lot better for everybody.
I really do.
56:46
I feel like we’re going to finally have all the planets direct, which will be really nice.
So I’m into that.
We’ve had like so many heavy transits.
I feel like we’re going to get a little bit of a break in January.
57:04
It’ll be nice.
So that’ll be nice.
I feel like this year has been a lot.
It’s just like hasn’t really LED up since 2020.
No, it hasn’t.
I mean, there’s a lot going on though.
57:19
I mean, the United States is just finishing up its Pluto return, so that’s a lot.
We also had like all those aspects of the outer planets and the Pando all happening at the same time.
So and like anytime you have like Pluto or Saturn or Neptune up to some shit.
57:42
Like the those planets take forever to wrap it up.
Like it takes them forever to move through a sign and they both move slow.
So when like these planets are like squaring each other, they just keep hitting the same aspects over and over again.
57:59
And it’s like, I don’t know, I feel like we’re going to be shedding some of that grossness a little bit.
But I feel like, yeah, it’s been garbage since 2020, like it has been garbage since 2020.
And I don’t care if you think I’m crazy, but the astrology lines up with all of the garbage that we’re having, so.
58:19
Yeah, it’s gonna be going for for a while.
Really.
It’s a lot.
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, It’s just felt like energetically very happy everywhere.
58:37
And I’m not into that.
We need some, like brevity, not brevity.
Levity.
We need some levity in our lives.
Let’s make America fun again.
Let’s make America fun again.
Oh my God, that.
Yes, we should.
58:55
Be a fun country.
It should be a good time, yeah.
Come on, people.
Don’t throw America parties because we’re not fun, you know that.
Was like the one thing we could do really well with.
Harvey.
59:11
Oh my God, so.
Oh, I have a friend of mine.
She brought her partner over because they were both living.
Well, he is from Yorkshire.
She’s American.
But they were both living in England for a while, and he came and stayed with us.
59:30
And we, like, asked him, like, what he wanted to do, ’cause this is his first time in America.
And like, we’re in Chicago, right?
So we’re like, what do you want to do while you’re here?
Like, is there anything you want to try, anything you want to do?
And he was like, I want to shoot guns, I want to drive a pickup truck, and I want to eat a double Down.
59:51
Yeah.
So, like, we took him to the gun range and he got to, like, shoot a gun.
He drove a pickup truck and we fucking ate double downs.
And we had him wash it down with moonshine one of our friends made in their closet.
1:00:09
I was like, this is not what we do every day.
But I’m glad you had your quintessential American experience.
I’m glad we can make it happen for you.
If anybody is planning on visiting America and wants to do some, like, quintessentially American things, I’m more than happy to be your tour guide.
1:00:35
Lay it on me.
We can.
I can take you to chicken shit Bingo.
I know a place for that.
We can we can figure out a way to get you to drive some trucks.
I mean, I don’t know.
There’s lots of quintessentially American things that I don’t do on a daily basis, but I’m happy to do with you because I think it would be fun to watch somebody from England experience this for the first time.
1:00:59
So.
Yeah.
So your friends, your relatives, send them my way.
I’ll show them.
I’ll show them around town.
I mean, she’s in the most American state ever.
Texas.
Dude, can Texas really be considered like American?
1:01:19
Because they’re always talking about how there’s so much better than America.
There’s people are always like, well, there’s America and then there’s Texas.
So I’m like, is it America as fuck?
Because you guys seem to not want to be America as fuck.
1:01:36
You’re like Texas as fuck.
So is this the most American place you’d think it would be?
We have enough flags.
I don’t know.
My brain needs to process that for a minute.
It’s kind of like a contradiction, but.
According to Rudy, Dallas is America’s team, right their football team.
1:02:00
I don’t think that’s really accurate, but I think people from Texas like to think it is.
Bless your heart.
Oh my God, dude.
1:02:16
I don’t if I had if.
Anybody had told?
Me like 15 years ago.
Fuck even 10 years ago.
Guess what, girl?
You’re going to be married, living in fucking Texas.
You’re going to be scooping poop on a ranch on your weekends and like flies will become part of your life.
1:02:39
Like, in an intimate way, I would be like, fuck, no dude, I’m never leaving Chicago or I’m never leaving the city here I am, here I am.
I think God sent me here to just bedazzle this place.
1:02:56
I think we just.
I mean, Texas likes rhinestones.
Maybe I’m just here to, like, start gluing some rhinestones to everything here.
Maybe some?
Googly.
Eyes jazz a place up a bit.
I love it.
That sounds wonderful.
1:03:14
I was in Florida over the weekend and I’m just going to say it.
I really like Florida.
What?
I don’t like driving in Florida.
1:03:29
I love to visit Florida, though, and when I was a kid, I love to visit Florida.
It’s so fucking weird there.
It’s such a weird vibe and I like to go in and out of it.
1:03:53
It’s like the perfect weekend place.
Like what is weird about it?
I mean, so the people have their own look, you know, I mean, it’s a state that’s all coastline and it’s warm.
1:04:11
I mean, by my dad’s it was 85°.
Wow the.
Whole weekend I was there and like we went to the beach to walk and there are shit ton of people on the beach and you know you got a lot of like Hulk Hogan wand.
1:04:30
Oh, wow.
Really.
I mean, these people still worship the sun like they’re living in a different mindset than the rest of us, and I love it.
I love also the Cubans everywhere, and I did not get to eat any Cuban food or have any of my Cuban coffee.
1:04:58
I told my dad, if I’m going to be making frequent visits, I need Corda ditos every time I come here.
So he was like, well, you could take my car and go get them.
I was like, great because that is the plan next time I come here, even though he has his own espresso machine, so I indulged in the espresso at his house.
1:05:21
Next time I go at least at least one Corda Dito, because they’re so good, Maybe some sandwiches, I don’t know.
There’s this wonderful, like, pastry place I found the last time I was there, and they just have so much stuff.
1:05:37
I want to go in there and just like try every everything.
I love how green it is.
It’s like the jungle where my dad is.
It’s a newer development there.
There’s just so many trees and it’s swampy but different kind of swamp because we’re colder here.
1:05:59
It just feels wild.
I don’t know, it’s like just a the Southern Frontier or something.
I don’t know.
It’s a wild place.
And I love that their Walmart was like the worst Walmart I’ve ever seen.
It was so trashy, like people at Walmart.
1:06:17
I was like, yeah, yes, this is what I want when I come to Florida.
Everything.
You can tell that place is run by DeSantis.
I love it.
Oh my God, I love Florida.
1:06:40
Could you?
Could you see yourself living there?
I I mean, I would not choose to live there.
But if I had to I can make it work.
1:06:55
It would be fine.
It’s I would choose Florida over Texas because Vern, Texas is not weird.
I know what I’m getting into when I go to Texas, Florida, but like, I don’t know anything could happen in Florida and I like that.
1:07:20
Texas I think is very weird.
It’s not like Florida level weird, but like when we went to that the The Chainsaw Massacre price that was fucking weird and.
1:07:39
That’s Texas.
Weird.
You might get murdered.
So I don’t know.
Should we tell this story some people?
Know.
Yeah.
OK.
So you’re in Austin.
1:07:55
That Austin is where we start.
And we go somewhere, I don’t know, maybe an hour away.
There’s less and less houses as we go.
We’ll put it like that.
So we’re going away from the city.
The BBQ is on the agenda.
1:08:13
So I’m very excited.
I’m like, this is going to be so Texas.
And it was, it was everything that I had.
So there’s this movie called Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and in the movie there’s like a gas station.
1:08:34
I don’t remember what happened, but we went to that gas station because that is where the BBQ is.
So we’re outside and there’s a truck and there’s chainsaws and there’s this woman and a man.
1:08:57
I can’t tell you what age they were.
They could have been anywhere from 30 to 60.
They were from Louisiana.
Not the part that I’m from somewhere in the Bayou or so.
1:09:19
I don’t know.
I don’t know what part of Louisiana they’re from with their accent is thick.
Anyways, they’re talking about the movie and like, they talk about it and like, I’m getting the impression that like they work here.
Like this is probably like they’re maybe this is their business, possibly, I don’t know.
1:09:41
There’s nobody else here.
It’s just us and these people and they’re going, I don’t know about these chainsaws.
One of them was in the movie or in one of the movies.
They are fanatical and we realize at some point these people don’t work here and.
1:10:05
Like just the energize.
I’m sorry because I’m really loving this right now.
We’re ate a bunch of edibles in the car on the way to this place.
So we haven’t.
No, we’re high as.
1:10:21
Fuck.
Yeah, anyways.
So these people don’t work here.
They did tell us the food’s really good, so you know, this is weird.
1:10:38
OK?
We just learned a lot about this Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie from these people from Louisiana who are visiting, and they have like 6 chainsaws in the back of their truck.
Awesome.
All right, so we go inside.
1:10:59
Inside, it’s all like horror movie stuff.
It’s kind of cool.
They’re like action figures, masks.
I don’t like.
I don’t even know.
There’s so much stuff in there.
1:11:16
And like, I’m like, where’s the food?
Like, we came here for this food.
I don’t understand what is happening.
There’s where who works here?
There’s nobody here, just weirdos outside with chainsaws.
I had a life-size like statue of Michael Myers or Jason, one of them I so it’s very confusing.
1:11:40
Then somewhere along the way I find out there’s like cabins in the back.
You can also stay here.
It’s not just a place to eat and buy horror movie shit.
You can stay here overnight, and that is what Louisiana Chainsaw Massacre people we’re doing outside.
1:12:03
They’re staying here overnight.
We got the food, We sit down.
A big fucking Texas man brings us the food and he puts the food down and he doesn’t just leave.
1:12:20
He talks about the hot sauce.
And Scott about this.
He’s like, it’s very hot and we’re not going to call an ambulance if you can’t handle it.
At first it was funny, but it went on for a really long time where it actually felt threatening and I don’t know, I was.
1:12:45
Very confused.
Well, do you remember him saying that if we don’t like him, then he’s fine putting us on the smoker back there?
It was weird, yeah.
1:13:05
And then like so.
We had only been introduced to, like the mother, father and son people from Louisiana.
And they had said that they stay there once a year.
This is like their family vacation.
1:13:21
Yeah, so when we were.
Talking to them.
The guy’s like, I got all these, I got all these replica chainsaws.
This is from the movie #3.
And then he’s like, Billy Bob, come over here and show them.
1:13:37
Show them how you can put together a chainsaw and take it apart in less than a minute.
So like this kid comes out, this is how we meet the kid and he’s like yay tall and he’s like dismantling all these fucking chainsaws.
And he’s like take.
1:13:57
Pictures with them.
Yes, the guy was like, take this chainsaw.
Take a picture.
Do you want to take a picture?
I know you want to take a picture.
And I just kept thinking because this guy went off on, like all of the specs of the chainsaws were so fucking long that I was like, I don’t want to touch that chainsaw.
1:14:18
What if I drop it?
I’m high as fuck.
This guy’s going to, like, kill me.
Like, he very much so had energy that like, he could probably like, snap really quick.
And he’s like shoving all these chainsaws at us.
I was like, this is so much right now.
1:14:38
And then what you mentioned about the cabins, we did not know how many fucking people he had with him.
So there were like four of his little mini cabin things, like those tiny houses.
There were like 12 of them, There were like 12 of them.
1:14:57
And they all started coming out of these like little little pods in the back while we’re trying to eat our barbecue and we’re getting stared at by some guy that looks like bull from night court.
And we’re like how many of them are there?
1:15:12
Like they just kind of came out like I it didn’t feel real.
It felt like we were tripping our balls off.
But Derek was with us and he was sober and he said all this stuff really happened.
Yeah, it was.
1:15:32
I mean, the game was good.
Yeah, you know.
It was.
Smoky as.
Fuck.
But all text is BBQ as smoky as fuck.
But I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it too.
And that hot.
House was not hot.
A hot house wasn’t even hot, dude.
1:15:50
I was like, is this like hot compared to what?
Ketchup.
I mean, it had a Tang to it.
I mean, it could definitely taste.
It was hotter than the other stuff, but I was like expecting it to be like hot, like I’m gonna die.
1:16:05
And I was like this is just stood there for like 10 minutes.
Explaining how hot it was.
That’s crazy.
So now that you say.
Considering what you’ve experienced in Tejas that Florida is weirder than Texas, I kind of want to go now, I.
1:16:30
Feel like a Florida adventure is in our future?
That’ll be so fun.
I’m going to get to know.
Florida, a little bit more.
And I told my dad every time I come out for a visit, there’s going to be one day where we go somewhere that we’ve never been so we can explore the state some.
1:16:55
So yeah, should be fun.
That’s very exciting.
I now never.
Felt like this before, but now I feel like I need to visit Florida.
Kind of.
You should work for like their tourism board.
Oh my God.
1:17:11
Like I I.
Think I could do like a year in Florida.
I think I could handle that.
I mean, it was really nice to be in the 85° weather.
And you know, my dad’s not that far from the ocean so well, we drove down to Naples, which was beautiful.
1:17:36
That’s like.
Mega rich over there.
I guess there was.
Beautiful houses with really, really nice landscaping.
Gorgeous flowers everywhere.
So that was nice, you know?
And you know, my dad’s by Fort Myers, so I want to say he’s like 1/2 hour from the beach maybe, but it’s a nice spot, you know?
1:18:02
My dad’s got a vibe.
I like it.
It’s nice to be.
He just like remodeled everything, like he redid his bathroom and stuff.
So it’s nice to be in some brand new shit.
So yeah, I live in this old ass city and all these old ass apartments, so it was nice to be in something new, dude.
1:18:22
I don’t know.
Why but like everything?
You’re saying is making me want a fresh orange?
Some Florida orange?
Yeah, doesn’t that sound like a nice?
Fresh orange, like just picked from the tree.
1:18:41
Yeah, I think I’m going to go to the store, buy some.
Oranges.
Getting fancy buying produce.
Well, girl, I’m glad we were.
Able to end on some like.
Positive stuff, despite the heavier content we were discussing today.
1:19:00
So I guess like movies like to end on like what we either want to like work on like.
Focus on this.
Week or something that’s bringing us like, joy and yeah, you know.
I got to spend this last weekend with my dad.
1:19:20
I got to see an aunt and uncle very.
I just said hello, but I hadn’t seen them in a long time.
They came from Sicily so when they arrived I needed to go to my plane so it was really nice to say hi to them and and next week I get to see my.
1:19:39
Sister.
And my mom, so spending time with my family, I get to see my nieces.
So I’m really, really excited.
I’m really happy that I I am able to spend time with my family and just be all in the love.
1:20:02
What about you?
That’s really awesome.
I’m so happy.
You got to have that experience, Your energy feels like lighter and I’m I’m glad you enjoyed your time.
So cool for me I.
1:20:18
Think this is going to.
Sound really silly, but, like, I’m embracing failure this week, which is like kind of a big thing for me about it.
Yeah.
So.
I have like a four.
Point O GPA when I graduated and I’ve always gotten like perfect grades and this, that and the other thing like I have a problem with this.
1:20:43
So I already have a fucking undergrad degree and I’m, you know, learning how to make jewelry right now and I’m taking a really challenging class and it’s like casting and I’m just, I have missed a lot of these classes.
1:21:00
Some because I wasn’t feeling.
Good once you know some because I travelled whatever like and then I’m also like struggling with the course material.
It’s like new materials for me to be working in, like wax and being very delicate.
I’m totally failing this fucking.
1:21:16
Class.
I’m failing this class and I was like in class the other day and I was like things are starting to click now.
Like everything in the class is starting to finally click now.
Where like I was having a hard time and it’s happening like 2 days before the end of the semester and I was working on a ring that IA new ring that I should that I need to cast.
1:21:43
And I was just finishing up the design and I was like wow, this was so fun.
I was like this was so.
Fun.
I was like.
I actually felt like, really satisfied that I made like a nice piece of jewelry and that like, I was able to take it from beginning to end and like whatever.
1:22:03
And I was like, this was fun and I felt like I learned a lot in this class.
Even though I’m gonna fucking fail it, I’m like, that’s fine that I’m failing this class.
Like, I don’t regret taking it.
And I’m OK with having an F, you know?
Like, I still got something out of it.
1:22:19
And that made me really happy to be like, no, Like, I’m doing this on my own terms.
Like somebody else’s evaluation doesn’t mean anything to me.
Like, I don’t have any consequences from getting an F in this class, So it’s not like I’m going to be barred from a job in the future.
1:22:37
So it feels very free and feels super free.
And I like that awesome dude.
That’s really awesome.
Because first of.
All high, Virgo Rising.
Perfection and not failing.
1:22:58
What?
So that’s super.
Exciting.
That you’re embracing that and like that.
I think that is important for a lot of people to hear.
Like failure doesn’t mean failure.
1:23:15
There’s a lot of times where things don’t work out, but we get a lot of insight, skill, information from that experience.
And that’s like really healthy to see the positive from the experience, not the overall outcome.
1:23:35
I think that’s great, dude.
Thanks.
Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but I was just like I.
Had a fucking great time doing this.
I don’t care.
And then I feel like other people.
Maybe let yourself fail sometime.
1:23:50
See how the ride is.
It’s OK, yeah.
I guess that’s my what’s.
Giving me joy and little weekly insights, but yeah, I love that.
1:24:07
Well.
On that note, we’ll wrap things up.
I hope everybody has a good holiday and I hope everybody has a moment to enjoy their.
1:24:28
Time and do.
Something that they love and take time to feel good and just have a wonderful little holiday break.
Yeah, everybody have an.
Amazing week and.
