apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:06

No,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:06

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09

September, I think.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12

September. I suddenly just forgot every single month. Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:18

November, December, January. are in January is 2025. It is days after the Trump inauguration.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:25

Yeah. Very scary time. We're, yeah,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:33

Um,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:34

yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:42

stuff. We got like a new logo,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:44

Some new rebranding

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:46

some, a little bit of rebranding.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:47

chatted. I think we're going to take it a little bit of a new direction, but like before getting into all that stuff, like just, uh, let's do like a little recap of our lives, the past four months you moved.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:00

I moved. I am in Charleston now

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:03

Mhm.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:04

and it is snowing outside,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:06

It's snowing in Charlotte too, but like barely.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:09

And it's like funny because we're like to get to the downtown, like we take bridges, like we're not downtown, downtown. And like all the bridges are closed.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:20

they really?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:21

like if I wanted to get downtown, I couldn't even try,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:24

stranded.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:25

but it's fine. Um, love Charleston.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:31

Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:32

be my home, I think.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:34

I don't, I don't, that makes me sad.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:37

Right. It's not that far

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:38

I know, but I want you to move to Charlotte. Uh, I want you to live here forever. I know, but my job is so, so, like, in Charlotte now.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:49

Yeah, we can find you a job here. You can work at the Kiowa resort on the most beautiful piece of land. Yeah,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 2:59

I could do that.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:00

yeah, I'm in Charleston now.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:02

Yeah, Abby's in Charleston. What else?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:04

Was making a list of things of like what I said like what's been going on because I did my homework for this and

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:11

wow, shade.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:14

No, I didn't do that. I told you this but for the people that don't know This is like probably a month ago. I was hit by a car

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:21

She was hit by a car! Forever! And

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:23

hit by a

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:24

Yeah, I got a phone call and it was like, Oh my God, you're never going to guess what just happened to me. And I was like, what? I was, what was I? Oh, you were, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember what I was doing. Do you?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:36

No

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:36

I don't either. But I was like, what?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:39

to tell you this real quick.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:41

And she was like, yeah. And I didn't drop any of my Starbucks. You were like holding on to like two copies. And then you were like, and I'm literally on my way to therapy. And I'm like, what the fuck?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 3:53

I was being a good wife and I was like, you know what? It's Friday. I'm going to, or it was like a Thursday and I was like, I'm going to go get us coffees at like our new coffee shop down the street. And Jose wanted like a croissant. So I had like my coffee, his coffee and like, uh, like they gave me like a box for this croissant. So I was kind of like, know, fumbling these things

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:12

Mm.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:13

and I was just in the parking lot. Like was just walking in the car, literally backed up right into me. And I didn't even realize it was happening. Like, it was just one of those surreal moments where you're like, someone's about to run me over. Like if I don't move

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:27

Oh my God.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:29

this car and like my reaction. Was like, oh my god,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:34

my

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:35

it wasn't even

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:35

God.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:36

god. It was like, oh my god I was like

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:38

You were disgusted.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:39

I was

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:40

Like how dare them?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:41

but no I didn't spill a drop of coffee

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:44

That's so great.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 4:45

kind of like he stopped and turned around and realized and I just kind of gave him like a nasty look and Then I walked kept walking and I turned around and looked at him in the driver's seat and you could tell he was like Frazzled about it And so I'm, of course, like, God, like, now I'm, like, guilty. I'm like, I shouldn't have been behind his car. And then I look at him, and I just kind of give him another look. And he was like, Are, are you okay? And I was like, Yeah. And I like turned around and I just kept walking.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:14

Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:15

Like, you bitch, you just ran me over.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:18

insane.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:18

I like got in the car. And you know when things happen, like your adrenaline spikes and then you're by yourself and you're like, okay, don't cry about it.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:24

Did you cry?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:25

I like was like, don't cry about it. Don't cry. And

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:28

you cry?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:29

you're okay. I teared up

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:31

Did it scare you?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:32

adrenaline. Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:34

Oh my God.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:35

a slow hit. Like he was pretty fast about it.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:37

He was quick with it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:39

get home and I like close the door, put the coffees on the counter and Jose's like, I'm like, babe. And he's like, yeah. And he like comes out of the office. I'm like, you're not going to believe what happened to me. I'm okay. But like the guy hitting the car, Jose was so pissed.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:52

I can't believe you didn't call him. I would have called him the moment I got in the car.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:56

I didn't get injured. Like if I had gone injured, I would have,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 5:59

It's so funny. Cause like you're the second person I've met who's gone hit by car. And I mean like that could have been so much worse, but, um, my, I, I won't like. Say names if like people want to keep their privacy, but like my, uh, friend's boyfriend got hit by a car and he like broke his back. He has like a broken spine because of it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:23

I was, I was lucky. Like it was just like in a parking lot. So it wasn't like anything,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:27

That's so funny.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:28

to go back and get like the security cameras and find him and like sue him and all of this. And I was

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:32

Oh my God.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:33

like,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:33

drama.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:34

much effort. And then, yeah, like I had like, minutes until I was going into my therapy on Zoom like, I was like, well, I'm gonna go to therapy

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:43

Well, at least you had something to talk about that day.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:46

even think I told her to be honest with you.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 6:48

Really? Just too much other shit. So you got hit by a car. I also got hit by a car, but I was. Luckily still in my vehicle. Yeah, so I just got my car fixed. So that all happened What else has gone on you and mom and jose came for thanksgiving?

26.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:25

You did

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:27

You say that like a question. You

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:29

Did you? Um, my restaurant is closed, so I am, like,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:35

Forever.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:36

No, not forever, oh my god, I would die. My restaurant is closed, we're doing like a renovation, like a little facelift.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:43

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 7:44

needed so i'm like super super excited for it to reopen but and I have been pretty busy But my whole schedule has just been like completely backwards Because i'm like going in and doing kind of like some hotel stuff and then like pre planning for our reopen So i'm like working like kind of like a nine to five. I cannot do this I cannot do it

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:06

used to

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:08

Well, i'm so used to like I'm very fortunate because it's not even that like I have a late job. Like I do have a late job, but it allows me to have like, like, I still am able to get up early, spend time with the dogs, have like a nice quiet morning, which I feel like is super important and then go to the gym and then still have that hour or two to get home, have lunch, get ready for work. And then I'm, I'm gone for the night.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:36

Yeah. You're

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:38

Like people, like doing nine to five, like, no wonder the world is depressed. I think I've done it for two weeks and I'm like, I'm literally, I hate everything.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:49

Yeah, you definitely have to carve out time to just be yourself

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 8:53

Oh my God. It's horrible. Oh, I just, I just this week I've like been like, okay, I can't do this anymore. So I've told all of my colleagues, like, listen, I will be here at noon every day. I'm not doing nine o'clock anymore. This is insane. I have to like get up. I have to do my morning. I have to go to the gym or I'm going to go crazy.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:14

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:15

So I've kind of just like set.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:16

um, aren't you like a morning work outer? Like you don't like to work out at

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:20

No, I don't like to work out at night, but I don't like to work out. I'm like a midday trainer. So like I'm, I love it. I love like a noon, but I've been doing 10. So I've been getting to the gym by 10.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:37

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:38

Which is fine. But I can't do any earlier than that.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 9:43

That's like, Jose and I talk about it cause you know, we both kind of work from home, him especially, and he's kind of voiced how. feels like sometimes he gets up, walks across the hall to the office and stays in the office until ready then dinner's ready and then sometimes he even has to keep working or like he just plays PS5 or something and he's like, I'm tired. Like, I just feel like I do nothing.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 10:06

well it's like I go, I would like, like last week when I was going in at 9, I'd wake up, and take care of the dogs, get ready for work, go into work, and then I'm working all day, and that first week of, that first week that I was in the office, instead of at the restaurant, like I had so much, so much to do. So it was like a super busy week. So I was working like from like nine going into like, you know, six, seven, even eight, some nights. And I'm like driving home. It's dark and there's nothing else that you can't do anything after that. And I'm just like, what the fuck? I can't do this. This is insane.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 10:45

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 10:45

people do that every fucking day.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 10:47

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 10:48

There's traffic. There's so many people out. I'm like, what is going on? Yeah, it was horrible. I hated it. I hated it. But. All good. I restructured, I restructured some things.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:03

you adapt.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:04

You know, what's crazy. I don't know why I just thought of this.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:07

What?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:08

I've literally had this song stuck in my head for like three days. It's like, um, what the fuck is this song, dude? It's been stuck in my head nonstop. And now in the moment I cannot fucking sing it. It's like, I think it's like called 2 a. m. And it's like, um. Da na na na na, da na na na na, uh, can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:39

is that song? Did you know that song's about abortions? Yeah. I'm gonna look up the lyrics.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 11:53

Yikes. Yikes.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:24

I don't know where I heard that. Maybe cause like all the shit going on with women right now. Um, like they have any right at all to criticize. Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason. That's a good one. We should bring back this song.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:36

Yeah. What else has been going on with you?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:41

That's crazy. Nothing. I just got back from Chicago. Megan moved. Megan left me.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:48

You went and saw Chicago's Bean.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:51

I saw the bean. Twice.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:54

Oh, you went twice?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 12:55

Yeah, we went back twice, rode the train. Train was awesome. I think like I literally in the airport going home, I looked at Bailey and I was like, dude, as I'm kind of getting older and kind of becoming more secure in my, in my thoughts and my beliefs in myself, I looked at her and I was like, I don't like to travel and I don't think I really have ever liked to travel. And I think I'm comfortable saying that out loud. No,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:20

I

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:20

just don't enjoy traveling. Like. Yeah. Okay, cool. Like I get like, I have one life and like, I'm not going to see the world. Like, like there's so much of the world to see. And like, that's a great opera. Like there's opportunities to go see it, but like also like traveling is so stressful for me. I don't like to be away from my home. I have like, my comfort is in my home. I'm like a home body

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:48

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:49

and I don't want to be away from my dogs. I like, it's. I have anxiety.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:54

though now.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:56

What do you mean?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 13:57

Like, I feel like, prior to 9 11, traveling was so, like, easy and forthcoming and, like, so many things. Like, like I I talk to Jose all the time about traveling, and he, of course, wants to travel the world. And I'm like, yeah, but like, the only things I would probably go see are like the seven wonders of the world. But like, the one in Egypt, it's like, really dangerous now to even take the trek to go see the, the

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 14:25

Well, like I think I can like appreciate like I was on the tiki taki last night R. I. P for eight hours. So happy she's back. Um,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 14:35

We need to talk about that. But yes,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 14:37

Okay, I was like got in this rabbit hole of like the egyptian pyramids and I think like it wasn't even in a rabbit hole of egyptian pyramids, but it was kind of in a rabbit hole of like These putting these things together and then like making like in comparison to, to like help you realize how old things are.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 14:56

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 14:57

And like the pyramid thing of the pyramids of it all really trips my brain out.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 15:02

Yeah, no, I definitely believe there was like another civilization that got wiped out before

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 15:06

No fucking duh. But like, there's so, there's so old, like

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 15:15

to, would like consider wanting to travel to. I

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 15:19

But like I think I but let me say this this is my point like I don't think seeing them with my own eyes Do I think that would be an incredible life changing? Experience, of course, I'm not ignorant to that Yeah That would be amazing to see and if I could like teleport or like winnow over there then I fucking would but like I think I don't think seeing them with my eyes and maybe I'm wrong. I could be completely completely wrong would make me Not You I don't want to use the word appreciate because I do think I would appreciate them like a little bit more, but I just don't think that's my journey. I think I'm good. Like I like, I'm like, wow, they're old as fuck. Like that's crazy. And I'm like, I'm good on that. You know,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 16:00

Yeah. That's like mom has a friend who's traveled the world. She traveled the world with her ex husband when they were younger. And so every time I like, we ended up talking about traveling and just where she's gone. And she tells me all these stories and I'm like, I couldn't, I don't feel like, I feel like we

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 21:41

Oh, I love them. I don't care if they're, I don't care if it's like a little baby cow. I love them. One time I was, Oh my God, this is my favorite thing. I think mom's ever sent me. I was getting my hair done. I was getting my hair done. And like all of my friends know about mom. Like we call her buck wild Becky and my friend group. Cause she just can be like a little cray cray. And we love her to death. So I'm my friend Alex, who does my hair. I was getting my hair done and she like knows about my mom, whatever. About my mom, about mom. And, um, I was getting my hair done and mom sends me something on Instagram. And it was weird because we had just been talking about mom. Like she was asking, like, um, I don't know. She was asking about mom and it might've been like around the hurricanes. Um, and I was like, Oh my God, that's so funny. My mom just sent me this on Instagram and I pulled it up and I'm like, what the fuck it was. Video and all she, every time she sends me something like this, she just goes like, you're welcome. Like a little winky and it's like AI, like shirtless men.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:48

Oh

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:48

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:52

Oh, she didn't send me

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:53

No, she sent me this.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:54

sent me a topless

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 22:55

it. I love it. It was like a Santa. So it was like AI men and they were just like super hot, super buff, but they were all wearing like a Santa uniform. And it was like, they were like walking like down like a snowy street and like me and Alex were just dying. And I'm like, yeah, I'm obsessed. This is perfect. I love it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:15

some stuff and I'll be like, I'll show it to Jose and I'll be like, does she think this is real?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:20

Yes.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:20

and she's like, no, I know it's AI. And I'm like, are you saying that because I just told you that or do you really think it's not AI? No, she's

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:28

I love it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:29

whole scam thing was funny because I was like exhausted. It was like 9 30, 10 o'clock at night was panicking and then I didn't call her in the morning because I was like, she's going to call the bank. So I'll talk to her later tonight. Whatever. It's not a big deal. She would have called me if something had happened. She calls me at like 12 31 and was like, so you're just not going to call me. He said, I was planning on calling you tonight. I was going to give it some time. And she was like, well, I talked to the bank.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 23:59

So you're just not gonna call me?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:02

I said, what did the bank say? And he said exactly what I had told her. I

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:06

Sometimes I wonder where my, like,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:08

happened.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:08

Sometimes I wonder where, like, my inherent, like, sass and attitude comes from and then I have a conversation with mom and I'm like, oh.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:15

It's her. It's funny.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:18

So you're just not gonna call me?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:21

mom,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:22

She's so funny. Okay, cool. Um, yeah, anyways. What'd you want to talk about?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:31

I also started a sourdough starter.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:34

Bro. Did you hear that?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:39

Yeah, what was that?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:44

It has to be the dog I'm I'm in my third bedroom and my door is closed, but it literally just sounded like someone knocked on my door. Didn't it? No,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:55

would have barked.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 24:57

I think it was drax because they're in the bedroom right here

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:00

Yeah, it's probably his tail or

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:01

Oh my god that literally just like I just like

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:04

me.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:05

My heart just came out of my body and floated above me I was like levitating

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:10

So, it's funny you say this because when we moved in, They had told us that like an older woman had lived in this apartment. So of course my mind's like, oh, good lord. Like she probably died. Like that's why she probably left, right? we get all of her mail, and her name's Sandy. And so like, I'm like, fuck, if Sandy starts haunting this shit, I'm out.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:32

You better call me. I'll be there in a second. I think I have a ghost here.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:35

I get her mail and I just like do like return to sender. So like I'm putting good vibes out. Like, I'm not throwing your mail. Jose's like, just throw it away. And I'm like, no. if she's watching us?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:46

Yeah, just like continue, just like pretend like she's alive.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:49

Yeah, I think she's alive.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:50

Yeah, for sure.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:51

no, I made a sourdough starter and I named her Louisa.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:55

That's beautiful.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:56

Yeah, so I'm attempting to do that.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 25:59

That's beautiful. I love that for you.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 26:02

So stupid.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 36:56

What would you admit if like you had to do, if you were doing that?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:03

I don't know. I take 40 selfies and pick one. Like,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:06

I'm

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:06

don't know. That's what I try. I really try to kind of be authentic.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:12

trying to think what I would say.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:14

I don't post, I mean, I don't post anything on TikTok. I really only post stuff on Instagram.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:21

I know, but even like for Instagram, I don't really post much either. I don't know.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:27

I'm censored on Instagram.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:30

Why?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:30

about that lately. I feel like I could be speaking out a lot more.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:34

You know what, you've got a lot to say and I think the world should hear about it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:37

Yeah, I agree.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:38

You're one of the most intelligent humans I've ever, ever been graced to know. And I think you should use your voice more. You're not stupid. You have

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:48

fear that I don't know what I'm talking about and then I say something people are like you're fucking stupid.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:53

imposter syndrome because you are very smart.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:56

Yeah, and I saw a video

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 37:58

But like, not only are you smart, let me, let me just stop you. Not only are you smart, but like you're educated and you, you back up what you say. Like you ha, you like know what you say. Like for me, I don't think before I talk sometimes and it's my biggest flaw. Like I just spew shit, but that's also why I don't argue. That's a lie. I argue often, but that's also why I don't like to talk. Like stand on things as hardly as like you could. Cause like, I'm just like, whatever, bruh. I don't know. Like I said something to, to, um, Brian the other day in the office and he was like, where'd you hear that? And I was like, take talk. And he was like, get out of my face.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:34

I don't know if

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:34

And I'm like, respect.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:36

I don't know if you remember this, but for some reason this memory sticks in my head a lot. One time we were watching TV, you and I, and a commercial came on for, um, motion sensor soap dispensers for the house, like for your, your kitchen sink.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:50

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:51

you being like, that's so cool. That's so smart. And I was like, that is the stupidest gimmick ever.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 38:57

That is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:00

this? You

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:01

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:02

why? And I was like, because their argument is so you don't get germs from touching the top of the soap bottle to push it down and get soap out. I was like, but getting dirty to get soap to clean your hands.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:16

Okay, let me stop you there. I don't remember this and I'm not, I'm not claiming this conversation because like It is honestly insane. I would never

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:28

We were like 12.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:30

that makes more sense because that's insane now don't how dare you aesthetically I would never have a motion censored soap dispenser in my house Oh god

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:44

like, I am smart.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:46

I'm just a fucking idiot. Oh my god, that's a great point.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:50

No,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:51

hear myself saying that now.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:52

was built off that argument.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:55

Yeah, and guess what?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:56

know. You're smarter than a lot of people in this country.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 39:58

I fucking am, I know that for a fact. But, take that into consideration. I bet they made so much money off that soap dispenser. There's still those soap dispensers.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 40:07

I still see them

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 40:08

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 49:53

manicures that don't include cuticle cutting.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 49:56

That's a great one.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 49:58

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:01

that mine don't do cuticle care either.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:04

Horrible.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:05

I know. And like, manicures are like, expensive. 30 bucks?!

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:14

Jose paid for it. It was probably 50.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:18

I'm like looking at my nails now. I like my nails though. And they're all natural.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:22

I didn't do anything. I

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:23

nails are

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:27

and you could probably see my cuticles from there.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:29

can.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:30

And like, if you don't do the cuticles and you get gelled, then the gel starts lifting

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:34

It just lifts.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:35

already.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:36

Well, that's why like I was going to a nail that's why i've always just gone to a nail tech because they do it so well

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:41

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:42

Yeah, well you can't blame them then, you know

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:55

Okay, so that is my out for 2025.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 50:58

Yeah, I don't stand with you on all of them for sure but but yeah, I get it I definitely get it

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:05

Okay,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:06

Okay. What are some in, I can't think of anything that I'd be like out, boot out, maybe like,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:12

Toxic men.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:14

I mean, men are always out for me. Um, that's a lie. Unfortunately, sex for the next four years out.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:23

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:24

Don't touch me

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:25

I don't know, Jose made the worst

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:29

Republicans are out of the office. I am not letting a penis enter me.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:34

I was having

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:35

That's probably also a lie, but I'm going to do my best.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:38

the other day and Jose was like, are you okay? And I was like, gosh, don't feel it. Great. And I was like, it's just like period stuff. And was like, well, I can stop that. And I kind of like looked at him. He was like, I was like, I got a baby in you. And I said, You better fucking take that back.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:54

Ew, that's a threat.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 51:59

He knows it. That's why he says it.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:01

Oh my God.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:02

okay, have fun

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:03

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:06

time.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:07

Good. You should.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:08

stock up on birth control.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:11

People need to threaten divorce more, you know, like if you're not threatening divorce in your marriage, like. You guys are probably on the brink of divorce if you're not like

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:20

we don't believe in divorce. And I'm like, tell to Jose all the time, I will leave you if it's not

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:25

No, I mean not even that like I mean like if you're not joking about divorce Like at least like once a week, then you're probably about to get divorced. Like it's like funny

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:33

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:34

Okay

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:35

Yeah. Jose will joke around sometimes and be like, did he say the other day? He said something the other day and was like, he was going to buy, go buy something that was like stupid, super expensive and yeah, have fun while you sign your divorce

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:47

Yes

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:47

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:48

those papers bitch

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:51

love them. Okay. What's in what's going on? What's in this year?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:55

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:57

Dude

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:58

through a lot of my

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 52:59

Me too

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:00

like a high qual like quantity of books.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:03

just to like hit a number.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:04

But this series that I've been reading, like I've really taken it's been like a few months in this series and I'm like really enjoying it.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:10

I agree. I told, I told Mel the same thing. I was like, and like, even like with this podcast, like, that's why I kind of want to go like, not a different direction. Cause I, our core is still like books and pop culture and things like that. And I want to keep it there, but like, I cannot run through a book a week anymore. Like, because I don't want to like push myself to do it so much, especially when my outside life has grown. Tremendously and like needs my attention more and more throughout the last six months and will continue to grow I don't want to lose Why I started reading By trying to rush through things, you know what I mean?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:51

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:52

So I totally feel that

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:53

to enjoy it again.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:54

Yeah

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 53:55

it's not like I've stopped enjoying it, just, I don't know. My next one is calling people out on their bullshit.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:01

Dude I do like

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:03

to what we were saying.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:04

All the time

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:05

of mine this year, I usually just keep my mouth shut. Um,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:12

think, I don't necessarily believe this, but, my, one of my colleagues thinks that, like, we should just be able to open, open hand slap people, like, once a day.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:28

well,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:28

if you say something fucking dumb, you're gonna get open hand slapped. And, like, that should be legal sometimes, cause people,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:35

I don't know if I believe in that. That's violence.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:38

that's violence. Well, sometimes bitches need to be slapped across the face. Open hand. What?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 54:47

are like, men can't hit me when they hit men. Like, if a man hits you, I mean, if you hit a man, he has full permission to hit you back. Full permission. Yeah, maybe

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:00

Dude, that's controversial. You're hitting some contra. I have hit men. I'm not going to lie to you. And I would be appalled if they hit me back

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:10

Get your

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:10

as a woman. I'm so sorry. No, I get to hit you and you do not get to touch me back. That's just because it's a man and they're disgusting. As a man, I'm allowed to hit you.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:23

argument.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:25

I know.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:26

If a bitch came up on Jose and started beating the shit out of him, I would want him to protect himself.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:31

I could see Jose squaring up with a bitch.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:34

yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:35

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:36

like, just don't start it. Okay,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:43

I just want to say that.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:45

okay, um, well not unwarranted.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:50

I don't know, I've hit a man in my day, multiple times.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:53

Yeah, and you probably should have gone hit back.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:56

Well, I did once, so how do you feel about that?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 55:59

okay, next. I said reading books from small authors. I'm tired of this like, there's such a big author, you have to read their next book. Like let's start finding people that actually have talent. Well that sounded mean, but

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:14

Yeah, no, I don't agree with that. I mean, like, if I find, like, an author who is, like, Sarah J. Maas, like, sure, she's controversial, love her writing, I will read anything she writes.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:25

No sure, but like I feel like there are people out there that say they're like huge readers and stuff, but it's like you just read mainstream stuff. Like actually try to venture out and find people that are a little more,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:36

That's why I like going to, like, going to, like, when you shop at places other than, like, Barnes Noble, and, like, Books of Millions and stuff, you can find more of those things.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:44

Yeah, Barnyard Noble's been doing a little bit better of a job, but yeah, definitely.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:49

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:50

Um, where was I? I said slowing down in life experiences.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:56

Boring. Next.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 56:58

I want to start painting more.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:00

You wanna paint? You used to paint.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:02

into painting. And then I said mocktails. I'm tired of drinking.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:06

Good bitch. I've tired of drinking too.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:08

And then sharing appetizers for dinner.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:11

How many, I'm, I think I'm like 16 months sober. Yeah. Let's check my, my api api. There's just like really no, at least for me,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:24

But like, if you find a good mock Like, people make good mocktails. Or can make a good mocktail.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:29

Yeah, I mean, there's, I mean, there's a lot of options. But for me, right, one year, three months, and 20 days. I don't know how many months that is. 12?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:41

15 in

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:42

Yeah. Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:45

Huh.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 57:47

Yeah, I think alcohol is like, but I, the thing is, it's so weird. It's like a, a love hate for me, because like, my career is kind of like, So involved in alcohol and my income is dependent on alcohol, which is so strange if you think about it. But so I do love and appreciate, and I do like, I, I have seen the horrors of what alcohol can do to somebody. And I have personally been affected by that. So like it's very much like a double edged sword for me.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:20

Do y'all offer mocktails?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:21

Oh yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:23

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:23

yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:24

idea. Okay, um. I said sharing appetizers for dinner. like my new favorite thing. It's like, we'll just go to a bar

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:32

Have you never done that?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:34

We used to not, now

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:35

No?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:36

it more.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:37

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:38

nails,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:39

Yeah, I got rid of my acrylics last year. I think natural

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:45

money on our beauty stuff? I think it's stupid,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:47

is kind of trendy.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:50

but not even like gel,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:52

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:58

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 58:59

Yeah, like in the wild, picking berries. I think I'm good. What? I

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 59:03

file them and do your cuticles, but why do we need to, Oh, I thought my headphones died. They're probably going to die soon. It's okay.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 59:14

Okay. You scared the shit out of me. That's Eww. Gnar. Clayar. Gnar.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 59:28

My next one is using my cell phone only for necessity and not in awkward situations. It's okay.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 59:34

Oh my god, you put me in an awkward situation. I love that shit. I'll put my phone away.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 59:39

Okay.

Like, I was like, look, there was this drunk guy on the train Who, Abby, I'm not fucking kidding Was so drunk And like, he like went to go in like the bathroom on the train that we're like sitting in front of. And he just went rawr, the bathroom door open. Like I live for moments like that.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:00:14

Yeah, no, I wouldn't be on my phone on the train. But that's for safety reasons.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:00:18

Oh, I'm just trying to like, Oh. And then this girl was on the phone on the train and like sometimes like on the train, like there's certain trains that like, you are not allowed to be on your phone. Like they're like quiet trains. This one was not, it was on the weekend. So like, it was like kind of like a free for all. And this young girl answers the phone. And. I can, and it's quiet as fuck cause like it's nine 30 at night. We're all going home from being in the city. And like, um, she answers the phone and I, you can tell it's like, it's turning into an hostile, like conversation. And she's like, I didn't touch it. I didn't touch your, I think like she was talking about like something in the bathroom from what I gathered.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:00

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:01

I don't know if it was her mother or, or something, but I Was missing something in her bathroom. I don't know if it was like her fucking like Laura Mercier, uh, eye patches. I don't know if it was like her zit cream. I don't know what it was. Her snail mucin. I don't know what it was, but she was pissed about it being used. Right.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:19

Mm

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:20

And she was like, it wasn't me. Why is it always my fault? I didn't touch it. Why was it always my fault? And she just goes on and on and it's getting like increasingly, increasingly more aggravated. And I literally almost was like, girl. Like I am on your side, like it is not always your fault, but I am telling you right now, like, this is not the time or the place, like, you got to handle this at home, like, we got to, we got to put this away, but like, I totally get it. It shouldn't always be your fault. Like, you're so right. Like I am standing with you, but like, no, we got to put the phone down,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:51

Yeah. But shut the fuck up.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:01:53

but like, I could tell, like, in their conversation, they were getting nowhere. Like, this is not somebody that you argue with. I honestly wanted to be like, who are you talking to? If this is your mother, then you need to like, Leave her if this is a partner you absolutely need to get the fuck out because this is a person that is never going to um, like level with you

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:02:09

But aside from

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:03:30

There's like a really nice bathroom in the city that I like to go to. Um, And like I'm walking on the street, like, Oh, this is where the good bathroom is. We know where all the good bathrooms are, but there's a really good bathroom and they have a job, like when I tell you like a giant candle, like a gallon size candle, and there's only two bathrooms in this restaurant, like it's like a single stall, gender neutral bathrooms. Right. So you like walk in and it's like you've entered like this new world And like it's like green glass tiles on the floor to ceiling gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous They've got it's warm in there. Like I swear to god the other day I was in there There's a full size mirror on the back of the door I'm, like when I was in there the other day I was like I could literally Lay on the floor and like nap. I felt like I was like back in utero So warm And they have these gallon size candles in there that smell like I look at the thing and it's like a candle that like I would never have in my home I would never have it in my own home It was just like it's like a very florally like jasmine scent so

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:34

Jasmine.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:35

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:37

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:38

I'm more of like a woodsy woodsy tonka vanilla leather Cedar scent sometimes this was very floral but like very like It's almost like like a scent that like kind of like burns your nose up here a little bit

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:54

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:04:54

I'm like, bitch, y'all are like, your flows are on, I need like you shove there, shove it, shoving like three supers up there at once. Like we were going through tampons. It was like, I can't do this, but it does count. And if you are a good person and you do not steal things when you were not on your menstrual, then it it's worth it. Like the other day I went to have like a pre drink. Pre drink meaning like I had a non alcoholic wine, which was delicious. They have my favorite non alcoholic wine in the city So we went there before I had a date the other night Just to like chit chat with my girls And I like went in the bathroom to freshen up before I go to my date and they have like floss They've got mints.

Anyways, if you want to see nipples come to my house because they're all over my wall But it's a um picture of this lady. It's like a drawing actually if you look closely at it It's like a drawing and it's like very dark and she's in like this medieval room And she's like naked and like hanging off the bed And then like her bed is like super dark and there's like a demon in the darkness Like you just see like his glowing eyes and then like his demon hand like around like her leg I loved it so much

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:08:22

Our style is very different.

But like, I want, I'm trying to thrift all my frames. Like I don't want to just buy like, you know, like cookie cutter frames. So as I find frames, then I'm putting those, I'm putting things on, up on the wall.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:08:44

You need to come here. There's some good thrift stores here.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:08:47

Ugh. I guess.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:08:51

Driving.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:08:53

Good!

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:07

I canceled it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:08

bought you one yesterday and

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:09

No, I will literally go to the fucking Target down the street. But like, it's just the pre the principle. I pre ordered Onyx Storm last month to make sure that it would get to my doorstep on the 21st. And I never got like an updated order, so I was like, okay. From Amazon! Which, I've done pre orders through Amazon before and they've been fine.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:30

I have two.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:31

I don't know what happened. I don't know, like, I have no I don't fucking know.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:35

know, I think they I, I think they struggle with her releases. Cause like, last release with, with the Iron Flame and then with the, like, special edition of First Wing, they had, like, some issues.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:46

just say first wing? You just said first wing. Mm

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:53

like, Iron Flame, remember, had all the printing

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:56

hmm.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:09:57

and then Fourth Wing, it was just, like, the quality was horrible. And, um, of the special edition. And then this book, people were saying, like, the same thing, like, they're not getting it. Or, like, the Target edition had pictures on the inside.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:14

Okay.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:15

Did you see that?

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:16

No?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:17

They have like fan art on the inside throughout the book. Well, people were like on TikTok being like, this is stolen fan art. Like

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:24

Oh! I love fan art.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:26

they show the original portrait. And it's like, yeah, they literally just took the character out and put a character that looks like Violet in it.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:32

I love fan art though.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:35

It's not that nice of fan art either. Like I've seen so much better. And Jose was talking to me about it earlier. And I was like, they literally had such a cool opportunity to like give a small business or a small art artist, like, a chance exposure and like really blow it up and do something cool and like they didn't even do that.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:10:53

Yeah, I've kind of like always felt like her, uh, Releases, like, at least with Iron Flame and this, felt, like, feel like a little rushed.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:04

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:05

But, I don't know. I mean, I fucking like it all the same. And I'm excited.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:12

ounce of books that are cheaply made.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:14

I'm super excited to read it, and I cancelled my order because when I reached out to Amazon Today about it, they was like, Oh yeah, your estimated shipping date is March 6th. I'm sorry? March 6th?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:29

Yeah, that's crazy.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:31

Absolutely not. I'm gonna go to the fucking store down the street and buy it tomorrow.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:36

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:37

Because I am, so like right now I have like, I had way more pages from, on Kingdom of Ash than I thought I did so I stopped it. But I've got like 15 pages left of Kingdom of Ash. And I just can't even explain to you like that'll have to be another day.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:53

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:11:54

even explain to you, like, the love I have for that entire series. It's unbelievable.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:00

left of this series I'm reading

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:02

You really like that one too, huh?

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:04

love this

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:05

Yeah, I told Mel about that series.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:07

Ashes. That series is amazing. I just bought her a new book. She just wrote a new book and I just bought it. I'll read that at some point.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:14

Um,

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:15

a signed edition.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:12:16

Ooh, wow, she's so special. Wow. That's crazy. Anyways, so I'm gonna finish Kingdom of Ash and then it'll be like, A bittersweet moment, cause like I'm very sad, cause I was thinking about it earlier when I was reading it, like when I started Throne of Glass last year, The progression, and this isn't because of the book, but the progression of my personal life, I feel like I've like carried this series with me throughout some like big moments within the last year. Um, And with that, like I mean, you know, with reading you carry like a lot of, you learn a lot through reading fiction, which I don't think people realize, but like a lot, you learn like a lot of perspective on life and a lot of lessons and a lot of things that stay with you

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:12

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:13

your own life. And with Throne of Glass, it's been one of the biggest series that I've carried with me on in like my personal life. And I'm sad that it's ending. Gonna end. And then like, when I look at it, like on a parallel, like the progression of the characters in her, in this whole series and like the, the progression of their life through the series, it's like, it's crazy. I don't know. I love it so much.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:43

I don't know. Like I, I think that's kind of, Not for all authors, but for a lot, that's kind of just like the hope is that you relate to characters and you take them with you wherever you go and

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:55

Yeah.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:55

you think about them even after you're done.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:13:58

Oh my God. I'll never stop thinking about these books ever. And I mean, like Feeling emotionally attached to these characters. I mean, you read Akatar, Sarah J Maas does that so well.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:14:10

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:14:10

these characters, she goes so much deeper with them. And I, personally, I have never felt more attached to a character than I did Nesta in Akatar. And that I don't think will ever change. She's like my soul sister. But these characters, you just love so much. And like it's I don't know it's so good. I want you to read it

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:14:35

to read them. That's like when I went and picked up my Onyx Storm copy, I went to like a local bookstore that I knew they were having copies um, Got there like was like one of the first people to get there because I would definitely wanted mine and I was like, I came to snag like one of these, but like, I'm going to look around and she was like, okay. And she was like, I was looking at the fantasy section and came over and she's like, I know you've been here before. I'm sorry. Like our fantasy sections really picked over and she was like, especially like this area. And it was like Sarah J. Mass's area. I was like, Oh, no worries. No worries. Like I've, I've read ACOTAR or whatever. And she was like, someone came in the other day and literally bought like the whole shelf, like the whole, both series. And she was like, I, I guess they were like preparing for the snow storm. And she was like, they were, she was like, I don't know. That's really fast to read them all. And I was like, yeah, like that, especially her series. You

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:25

Dude you gotta

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:25

them

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:26

want to live in them. You got to take your time

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:28

Like it, cause it's not even just like you want to enjoy them for so long, but it's also because like puts in things that if you read too quickly on them, like you,

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:36

You won't catch it

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:37

you just won't make the connections later on.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:40

And like I just want to

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:41

that's what I thought.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:42

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:45

that's what like i'm i'm so sad like that kingdom of ashes ending because i'm like, uh, I just want to like absorb every little

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:52

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:53

of this book

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:15:54

why I've been reading this last book in this series. I'm reading really slowly too. Cause I'm like, I just don't really want it to end.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:16:00

I've read Kingdom of Ass so slowly and like I could have rushed through it, but like I've only read it. I've been reading two other books with it because like I've only read it when I felt like I could actually like really focus on it.

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:16:14

Yeah.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:16:15

So like I didn't read it when I was on vacation. I picked up, um, the second Cruelty and See when I was in Chicago. I read that, um, which is so fucking good too, but and then I was like reading like another kind of like, Fun one on my Kindle, but

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:16:30

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:16:52

supposed to be five books, and this is the third book, so It definitely is, like, the climax of the whole series. Or at least it should be.

squadcaster-8b4b_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:17:02

Mm hmm. I'm glad that we're reading it like in real time Like, I don't know, I was, I saw like on TikTok, somebody was talking about, like, she was reading Throne of Glass as they were being released. Like, we are now with like the Iron Flame and Onyx Storm and stuff being released. And like, it's like, kind of like, um, there's pros and cons to both. Cause like, I'm glad that I could read through Throne of Glass, like, in my, at my own pace whenever I wanted to. You know? And not have to wait for each book, but like also like I'm glad we're going through it all

apm_2_01-22-2025_191456: 1:17:38
