Who you're listening to?

Mess?

Hey, wow, I'm hmmmm.

So it starts, how you doing good?

I don't know what.

I think I got the fall flu?

What is that a thing?

Hold on?

Now?

Might have just made that up?

Yeah?

Is it?

Is it the flu?

Or is it you was party like a rock star?

Party like a rock star?

Yeah, shrapped in two thousand and six.

Yeah, no, it's uh.

You know, before I went to that party, there was a little tickle in my throat, so I might have got everybody else sick.

Marie, Now that's mess, But no, what's message.

I was supposed to see my friend's newborn.

Baby and I was like, I'm little congested and.

She was like, don't come.

And I was like, oh the baby.

I thought you say he got your shots.

She was like, please, don't come.

If you feel sick, if you think you might be sick, if you're exposed to somebody who looks don't come.

And I was like, she, I guess I'll go back to bed.

Well, I think that's the mess of the people who are sick and then they come outside.

I gotta go to work.

I got I gotta go to the I gotta get that latte.

It's like coffee does not pair well with congestion.

I mean, I've never been like, I'm sick, I gotta go to work.

I've never once said I gotta go to work.

Even when I am feeling fully healthy, I'm not like I should go to work.

I've never Unfortunately, that don't pair well with my life.

Well, I mean, after a long awaited uh what was it?

What was we We've been waiting courtship, We've been waiting, We've.

Been we've been scheduling, and we finally got this person in the damn building.

Wow, so we just got to bring her in.

Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

I mean the show that she's in just got renewed.

Okay, over compensating, Uh, give it up for Mary Beth Barone Hi married with broad It's.

An honor to finally be here.

Oh, kicking the table with my boots.

It was a long road to get here.

I won't lie.

It was many schedulings and reschedulings.

A lot were my fault, and I apologize, but it's just good to be here now.

In the space.

You know what, Marie.

I like that accountability that is never messed, being accountable.

Being accountable and there's so little of it in this world.

Talk about it.

I just feel like no one is held accountable.

It really it grinds my yours because I think people are so scared of confrontation that they and it doesn't always have to be confrontational, but I guess holding someone accountable is inherently like a little bit of conflict.

So I think people just don't do it, and then no one gets held accountable.

And that just I'm a justice Warrior.

So is that?

So?

Is that Justice Warriors?

That's what it has to be.

The title of the episode?

Is that?

What it says on your LinkedIn?

On my LinkedIn, Yeah, we'll put that on your tombstone.

Is what's this warrior?

Well?

I'm the youngest of six kids, and so fairness is really important to me.

But I felt like one of my siblings was getting something that I didn't get.

Then that wasn't fair, Like we couldn't watch TV on school nights.

Yeah, however my brothers could watch sports and play video games.

So I said, that's not fair.

I should be able to watch Lizzie McGuire then during the week.

That's sports to me.

But you get to watch Lizzie McGuire.

There were a few deals that got made, like I do this, I get to watch TV, but not consistently.

So I just felt like that was really unfair.

And now as I've grown to see the injustices of the world, I mean, it's really hard because when you're little, you think, like, you know, bad stuff's only happening to you, And then you learn empathy and you see the world outside yourself and there's a lot worse things happening right now than people not being able to watch Lizzie McGuire.

Yeah, but if you revolve around a world that just is you in it, you're like, it's only happening to me.

Why Lord just put it?

I do wrong?

So your favorite sentence growing up was probably that's fair.

I am.

I think internally I internalize this a lot, but I am the same way, like I hate when people cut the line.

I hate when people kind of don't follow the rules.

I and and what we're learning now is that following the rules really gets you nowhere.

And if you don't follow the rules, nothing bad happens to you.

That's so crazy that city doesn't like when people cut I feel like you have been with me multiple times where I've been like, I'm not waiting on this line, and I've cut, And so you be right now with you if say, for instance, we doing something, if you're if I'm in charge, I'll be like, well, I guess we just got to wait on light, and you'll be like, no, we not.

And so when you're in charge, we cut in the line.

But if it's if it's me, if it's me, I'm gonna be like, well, they told they said we got to do this.

You're always finding a way to go.

I love the law.

Yeah, you love a loophole, but like, yeah, like you said, following the rules, we're learning very clearly and loudly in twenty twenty five, it doesn't matter if you follow them to find a way to to avoid them.

Yeah, what they want and at every level.

And lately I've been flying a lot, so I've been seeing people obviously the classic getting up to board before your group is called, and I just want to say, we're all going to get on that plane.

You don't have to stand up, you don't have to shoot out of your chair the minute they preboard.

People veterans and people who need extra time.

Are you a veteran or do you need extra time my bag?

You can, you can sit down.

That's what's really about.

What's your what's on average?

What group are you in when you bore a flight.

It depends.

But I try to travel lights so I don't have to worry about the bag.

I understand the gate checking is hell.

I don't wish that upon anyone, but if you if you try to board early.

Actually, what I really enjoy, unfortunately, is when people are held accountable at the airport.

So I think if you go up with a board in group eight when they're calling group two.

I've only seen this a couple times, where the flight attendant will say, we actually haven't called your group yet.

A lot of times I think they want to avoid the conflicts, so they're like, just get on.

Who cares.

But yeah, that's something that I've seen, and I think, okay, that's a little bit of justice.

Well, if you're in group eight and you're trying to get on with two, that that's blasphemous.

But if they want two and I'm in three.

That's different.

That's different.

Of course, that's different.

It's people trying to you know, leapfrog.

And that's just a small example.

I guess the jerrymanderin in Texas and now Missouri would be a bigger example.

They're not supposed to do that right now.

You're not supposed to redraw the maps in the middle of a decade or something.

I don't want to know any of this.

Everything I know about it is against my will and I have to now be enraged about that.

And I can't actually, I can't even get into it.

We mad about maps.

Yeah, it's really sad and scary.

Now hold on, now, now, hold on you.

So you want people to like follow the law, follow the rules, right, but say, for instance, I don't know Marie puts On like you, you make a show, You make a show, and now people have to audition for it.

Right, I'm the bestie?

Am I auditioning?

Or am I I'm getting the roll?

Well let's talk to America.

So different, that's so different.

Because you're on a show with your bestie.

And I had to audition four times.

She had to audition four times.

Sydney audition.

I don't think that's that's not the rule.

Like, there's no rules in this business.

I feel read a.

Home my hand like this.

You got an audition four times?

Name her sister in Christ.

They're not hard fast rules with the industry, so I think that's where it's like, you know, there's like things that people do and there's like ways that it works, but then there's always people who don't go through those routes all.

Written for you.

It was, but you still had to.

Well it was complicated because you know, it's like a big streamer and they want to just make sure.

I'd never really done an acting role before, and I think the character was also a little bit hard to like get a sense of on the page, so they just wanted to see me do it a bunch of times, and so eventually I got the call a week before we started filming.

Oh yeah, it was cool to do to get that.

It was really hard to not know for like months and be in the writer's room and be like, I obviously left this character and I care so much about her and the show, and so yeah, it was tough.

But I guess it was just testing my fortitude, my resilience ultimately, and I don't It's like I go back and forth between being really resilient and then not being at all.

So that's just one of my complexities.

I don't know, I feel like I'm really resilient in some ways, and then in certain things, like interpersonal things, I'm not and I just really affected by stuff.

Example, no, you plead that, you plead the.

I'm pleading the fifth and I'm sipping Wow.

Okay, Sydney, we didn't even talk about our mess this week.

What was your mess?

Okay, let's let's get into the let's get into the mess of it all.

I'm sorry.

I also just googled resilience and.

You said it.

Yeah, but I said it.

But that's like one of the.

Words that you say, but you really know, you know, like aptitude, like I don't really you know what I mean?

Oh God, the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness, that's what resilience means.

You think I'm mad?

I agree.

I think everyone.

I see you squinting your eyesis.

What's going on?

You don't think I'm resilient.

I think that you're a very sensitive person and you got a lot of anxiety and you be stressed out about every and anything.

Okay, no, no, fake?

Can you repeat the descripture the scripture?

Yes, from the Bible of Websters.

Uh.

The capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness.

Yeah, I think you're resilient, Marie is everything that we've been together fourteen years, so much has happened to me.

Have I bounced back fast?

I have, no, no, no, no no, I'm not gonna say you bounced back fast.

But you do bounce back.

You do.

Marybeth MBB, I don't.

I hate when you guys fight.

I me and Mary Beth are literally like the devil and the Angel Sydney.

Very resilient.

But I guess that's just been my experience being your friend is that you are, but you're cutting the clothes for different.

I think you are like I would have said, you are, yes, and you're resilient.

I mean, you moved to LA and you survived.

Ooo, that's resilient.

And I bounced back.

I came back here.

I was aving the way, boots on the ground, running the strip, ripping and running.

It was almost like LA had never happened.

But to be fair, living in LA and suffering, then coming back to New York, of course you're gonna want to put the boots on.

The ground and hit the ground running.

It's stuff to do here, Your people are here.

You just you were happier as soon as you got here.

So you know, I'm gonna put a pin in that.

And you know what, Thank you, Sidney, we will put Resilient on your tombstone.

Sydney Resilient, Washington and me Justice Warrior.

Yes, we'll get to my tombstone later.

But what was your mess?

My mess is I really have an issue with just not like believing in what I have in my closet.

I really don't close.

Yeah close, I really every time I look at it, I'm like, I ain't shitting here.

Where is a match?

Let me set the shit on fire?

Because there's nothing.

There's nothing in the closet.

And so what I do is I rip and run and wait till the last minute day of every time to look for something to wear.

I did that for the US Open, I did.

I did find something.

Aritzia helped me down.

I forgot the girl who got me my little outfit.

But you did that, girl, You did that because usually Aritzia, the girls will look at you up and down and like, nah, she don't need no help, like or I don't want to help her, Like she's not gonna spind like she's here just looking.

Meanwhile, it's like I'm coming in here disheveled.

I'm in sweats, I'm gonna hat.

I need an outfit quickly, quickly.

But I also feel like that's who's at Aritzia.

It's young girls, probably in a Lulu lemon or al like.

It's not any So.

Yesterday I had a you know, a play that I was going to and it needed to be colorful, and all my good looks are just black, like the ones that I thought I do not think of.

That we don't agree.

Are literally wearing a great look now and.

You're always wearing color.

I feel like.

Sydney does love me turtleneck, but but not this season.

That's not yet.

We're not it's not time for that.

Maybe I need to see my eye, see myself through the eyes of my friends, because if.

We could all do more of that, I think the world would be a better place.

Any who.

I went to every single store yesterday looking for something.

I ended up buying something and came home.

I was like, am I bridesmaid?

What is this?

Why did I pick this?

It's so foolish.

Satin is hard.

I'm going to let everybody know there is a thin line with a satin dress that's long, that's like ooh sexy, you know Harry Bradshaw to oh here it comes the bride.

Well, it's a.

Slip dress paradigm.

There's a slip dress and then there's a bridesmaids dress and there it's just a very thin line between the two.

But it makes a world of difference.

It does, and I'm glad.

I'm assuming you chose to not wear it.

No, no, no, I did not wear it.

And I just went in my closet.

Yes, it looked like somebody came in maybe ransacked everything and then left with nothing.

But I went through all my stuff and I found something at the last minute, and I was like, okay, I need to really just look at my stuff first and then go shopping.

I feel like a slip dresser is I mean yeah, I feel like a slip dress is short and a bridesmaid dress is long.

It was a long I have long slip dresses.

But you're tall.

It's true.

I'm tall.

That's what they's what they tell me.

You are.

Yeah, I told you I've ate.

Yeah, oh wow, giant, long, huge.

I don't know why I'm a gigantic woman.

I don't know why you don't play basketball?

Whoa, I would say, the skill skill, skill level isn't there.

Yeah, I don't know if I think the only ball that I can see you with is a tennis.

Ball to throw from my dog.

I was gonna say to yes, I can hit the court, like.

You know, I'm decent, but I'm not can hit the cord.

I'm not great.

I like the outfits.

That's really mainly why I would be there.

Yeah, I played tennis growing up.

I just wasn't ever great at it.

I was like, Okay, tennis is hard.

It's really hard.

Getting the ball over the net from all the way back there is hard.

Also you have to like follow through with your hitting, and I was just not good at that.

I wanted to just like think, you know, just hold the racket up in and then it goes out or whatever.

Doing that in challengers.

Yeah, Marie, what's your mess?

So you know I'm indecisive?

Yes, you know.

I ordered a table from Anthropology.

It got delivered.

The original size of the table that I have now forty eight inches.

That's the diameter.

I got a bigger table from Anthropology, fifty four inches.

I was like, it's too big.

It was not that much bigger, but it felt huge.

And I don't know where I'm going to live next year, and it feels like my landlord is trying to kick me out slowly.

So I'm like looking at apartments and I'm like, this fifty four inch table won't fit anywhere that I'm looking.

So I had I returned it.

They came and picked it up.

I got the white glove service and then I had I said, bring the gloves back, take the table back.

Yeah, I ordered another table.

I was like, okay, maybe round is not what I need.

I need an oval, something thin, but like a little bit longer.

This new table sixty three inches?

Why why did you do that?

It got delivered.

It's so big.

That's that's almost longer than the one you had previously.

But also like I have two modes.

I'm because I'm so indecisive.

I'll have like I'm doing research for days, weeks, months, and I never pulled the trigger, or I just say I'm buying this.

I don't want to measure, I don't want to think about it.

I'm just gonna buy it.

Maybe I ordered it, I forgot I ordered it.

It got delivered two days ago, and it's so and it came in two boxes.

Marie, you didn't even hit the group chat to let us know to help you.

To help to help me pick another table.

Yeah, listen, the table came luckily.

My brother happened to be at my apartment.

He helped me carry it up the stairs.

And now I need somebody to help me carry it back down because I am returning this table.

I didn't know.

You're indecisive.

That's news.

You don't know, Marie.

I'm I'm peak libra, babe.

I can't make a decision or I just make a decision that I don't think about it.

That's okay.

Yeah, two modes, like you said, interesting.

But sixty three into crazy now, that's so.

How did it get through?

How did it get through your your door on its side?

And now it's literally taken up like that wall of like it's.

Blocking my stove, my sink.

I can't get to the track.

It's like massive, so it's leaning up against my stove and you know about a guest stove, so sometimes it makes the clicking noise.

That's bad.

I know.

But I moved it today before I left the house because I was like, I don't want to come back here, and that's leak.

So the idea of returning, ordering and returning two tables actually makes me feel sick because that is like so much effort, and I'm really sorry that you have to.

Say so much effort.

But when I was looking for a couch, I did the same thing.

I ordered a couch, I canceled the order, I got a couch delivered.

I didn't like it.

When I left the store after I paid for the couch, I was like, wait, I don't think I want this one, and it got delivered.

And then.

If I did a yeah, I can't even better than me, Marie.

I can't think about it.

I will stressing me out.

I will take something.

I'm not returning it.

It's just gonna be this ugly ass thing, this big ass table, whatever, it's gonna stay there.

It's gonna stay there.

It's gonna ruin every time I walk into the space.

I'm like, I hate this, but I am not returning.

I just won't.

I've been charged for so many things that I'm like, I'm not returning to this.

It's just gonna be here.

Then I try to return as much as I can my apartment is too small.

I have these things in my home.

Yeah, specifically a sixty three inch table.

I know that's given, Okay, you and a loft girl.

It's it's fully given, Thanksgiving, dinner, Giving, giving, the last supper.

It's so.

What's next for you in the table?

I think I gotta get the other apology table back.

Marie, the fifty four inch.

No, not the fifty four inch.

I think I can do the fifty four inch, but I don't know, I really don't know.

I have to get rid of this table that I have.

It's like this old wobbly I Kia table that I've had for six years that I got on Facebook Marketplace for thirty dollars.

That's what it is.

I'm like, I'm gonna have to go somewhere and pick something up.

I think Obins Street co op has loved Dobbin Street.

I got a really good autumn in there, and so that would be my suggestion, my unsolicited advice.

That's where I got one of my couches that I return.

Bring a tape measure and maybe maybe you need to go with her because you're eight my neighborhood.

Yeah, a type person.

We're not gonna let you leave with a table that doesn't fit right and no assembly required because it's all stuff from the olden day that was well made and isn't like hu stir and grew stuff in.

Yeah.

Mary is a good person to go to do locations, though.

We gotta go to all yeah, all me and the green Point one.

Okay, we like the green Point one.

It's cute, it's big.

Yeah, yeah, So you can get other options.

Just you could just get a few tables and see and then you have all the tables at your place.

And I returned all the tables that don't work.

Yeah.

Anyway, my landlord is serious with me because I also ordered a rug that's too big that's been in the hallway for the last week.

It's also getting returned.

Maybe don't order anything more for this apartment.

Yes, yeah, but I think because if you are moving, just like but.

I don't know when I'm moving.

She hasn't My lease is up the beginning of October.

She hasn't said anything.

She can't do that.

Well, she needs to give me ninety days.

Yeah, she legally can't do that.

Since you're gonna be in your apartment for at least ninety more days.

This is actually stressing me out.

So this is mess.

This is my messagement.

Marie, you're you're mess.

I have photo of the table and the legs taking up too much space in my apartment.

It will be in the dome.

Leave it for the dog.

Maribeth, you're in here?

What's your mess?

Well, we had thrown out some options of mess, so I didn't which one do you want to do?

Well?

I thought, I'm the guests.

Okay, let's talk about neighbors.

But we can we can also do smell a little.

Well, I want to do smell, but that maybe can be a mini mess at the end if we have.

If we apply mini MANI mess.

I like that.

Wait, so yeah, let's I mean we could hit both.

Yes, what's the messiest thing on your heart right now?

Or neighbors.

We'll talk about neighbors because I I believe that everyone should live the lifestyle that they want.

Everybody.

I believe that people who are pure of heart should be able to live the lifestyle that they want.

My neighbors, I feel I actually feel like my building is an experiment just to see when I'll snap because the things that my neighbors put me through are so inhumane and any like, any person in their right mind would just be completely baffled by what they witness in my building on a day to day basis.

So I just think I'm there are so many things I love about my building.

My neighbors are not one of them.

Let's talk about them, is it?

First of all?

Which neighbors upstairs?

Downstairs?

Left?

Right?

Okay?

So since the day I moved into my apartment, there's been a cigarette smell in my apartment.

Oh and I've emailed dozens of times.

And I don't want to be a Karen type.

That's so not my vibe.

I'm like all in aar I know, I know, but I didn't want to be like, Oh, then where's the manager whatever.

I've been emailing for years I've lived there.

The smell doesn't go away.

You're not allowed to smoke in the building.

You're not even allowed to smoke near the building, which they change the rules because you used to be able to smoke inside quote unquote as long as the smell didn't leak into other people's spaces, which obviously they do.

So I've requested in mediation the person won't do it.

I've asked if I could speak to them directly.

The person won't do it.

I've asked if they can be evicted, and they said, well, it's impossible to evict people in New York.

So it's just like, we have these rules in our building.

Again, following the rules, yes, but if you break the rules, nothing bad happens to you.

And it drives me insane.

So my apartment, I have so many candles to try to mask the smell.

I turn the fan on with the micro At this point, I'm sort of desensitized to it.

But every once in a while someone will come to my place for the first time and they'll go, why does smell so much like cigarettes, which is like such a valid question.

So that's the first thing.

The second thing is someone on my floor and I passed their apartment every time I come and go, has decided that the hallway is their mudroom.

They have four bikes.

Oh no, wait, they have shoes scooters.

And now what actually pisses me off the most because I the logic here they have booked a little bookshelf now for their shoes, So that actually means that actually piss me off more because if you're going to go to the links of putting furniture out there, then you literally think it's part of your apartment.

Yeah it's not.

It's a common sace bookshelf for the shoes.

How many people live in that apartment that they have four bikes?

I don't know.

Four bikes is kids kids bikes?

Kids bikes.

The crazy thing is that I know your building has has like a bike rode.

They do have a bike bike, but people don't want to pay for it.

Oh.

I think it's like, you know, fifty bucks a month or something.

I don't even know because I've never asked.

Because I don't ride a bike because I value my life.

I'm glad people ride bikes.

I'm so I don't have to.

I think we have too many cars.

I take the subway, and that's just my truth.

You're coming in hot take I take the bus.

I walk in the subway.

That's me.

So that's just that's two examples.

Of course, there's the famous example of someone bringing their infant baby into the hot tub while I was in there.

Whoa wait, hold on, your building got a hot sup.

Yes, it's nice building, it's cute, but then there's infants in the hot tub and I'm thinking, well, that is not safe, like baby soup, baby soup, baby soup.

So that's another one.

Then, of course, when I moved in, I also saw my neighbor masturbating with the blinds up.

Whoa, So that's a separate thing.

But then there's been some new things that have happened recently.

Wait, what did it look like?

Yeah, I talk about it my special It's like it was.

It was a very interesting situation.

And I caught him doing it multiple times?

Was it during a day or at night?

Both?

Ah, come on today from home during the day?

Then I you've never masturbated during the.

Day underneath my covers, underneath the cover or up.

The blinds down?

Come on?

No, I don't have blinds, but even at night I'm underneath the covers.

You don't get hot?

No, what do you mean when you masturbate, don't you temperature rise?

He does, but I'm always cold.

So I'm like, who finally.

Finally regulated.

Masturbation?

That's the title.

No, he don't.

So then I got back from a trip the other week and there was food outside of one of my neighbors places, like a bag from Jack suy FRIEDA I leave the next day, it's still there.

I leave.

The next day, it's still there.

I'm thinking, how many days have my neighbors been walking by this bag of food and no one thought to throw it down the garbage choot?

So then I, of course finally did it.

Person's obviously not there.

So it's just like my neighbors are completely insane and they're trying to kill me.

So then the other night, this is this is the last thing I'll say about my neighbors until we get into it going.

I'm sure there's a I walk by my neighbor's place, and first of all, this guy just moved in, and the girl that lives in between me and him had to talk to him because we could hear everything he was saying in his apartment.

We could hear the FIFA, we could hear the basketball he was watching.

We could hear single work call, like with perfect clarity, like as clear as these mics are right now.

So loud, He's so loud.

So then I walk by and this is the sound I'm hearing coming from inside.

Can you hear that?

It's so loud?

I think he opened a portal to hell in there.

I'm just gonna play it one more time.

And this is just through my phone, so it was much louder in person.

Gus, maybe gale force winds in the apartment.

Maybe he doesn't have a lot of furniture in there, because it sounds kind of empty.

But so how our windows only open like two inches, so there's no way that's coming from a window.

So I'm thinking either he busted through the window and he got sucked out, or he's doing spells in there.

He's doing spells and one went wrong.

Hey, Emily.

From Etsy, Emily from Etsy.

So that's my truth, and there's, you know, many more instances of people being weird.

But the food outside the door for.

Me, your day is giving And I don't know how long it was there.

They were at a hotel.

I don't know how long it was there, but it was a unopened bag of food.

So someone ordered food to be delivered and they weren't even home.

That's what that was.

It was an unopened, seamless delivery.

Or it could he they might have went to the wrong floor and so the person was like, where's my food?

Yeah, and that's happened to me too, but probably no I know who lives there, and it was it was addressed to the person that lives there.

Oh, so you looked you did you did the murder?

She wrote, Well, I'm thinking like, what's happening?

And but how many days did people walk by that and not do anything?

Well?

I think the problem.

The problem is when you're in these buildings like that, there's no more community.

Nobody can there's no accountability.

Oh there's more sorry, luggage carts.

We have luggage carts in the lobby.

The whole thing with the luggage carts, it's a social contract.

You bring it upstairs with your luggage.

When you've unloaded your luggage, you have to bring it back down so someone else can use it.

People leave it in the well so that the next person that goes down we'll have to bring it down with them.

Yo, Mary Beth, you live in a luxurious building.

It's very apartments the size of a postage stamp.

But yes, no, it's a little bit bigger than that.

It's pretty small.

It's a studio.

I pay for the amenities, not like my actual living space.

So then that's what bothers me about when the public spaces are not being treated with care and respect.

Also, it's like we have a trash room.

We have a trash room.

And one time, actually this happened more than once, someone from an apartment on my floor was just putting a box of loose garbage outside the garbage room.

So I did eventually take photos and it had their apartment on it.

It had the unit, no Sydney, not a box with like cereal boxes in it, paper towels.

Girl, girl, were you going through something?

I just moved there and I was like, there were so many boxes that were coming in, and the boxes of boxes, boxes, boxxes, a box.

They're fine, no, But then I was putting my garbage the boxes and I didn't break down.

You know what, I'll allow it.

I'll allow it for just that one.

That one had a garbage room.

I said, I don't because that's not what it's for.

You said, oh my god, I could just leave my garbage.

But you know what the guy who comes in, you know, uh, the cleaning guy, he I gave.

I gave him.

I give him money every time.

That's good.

Yeah, so I.

Tip him for loose garbage, yes, because I'm like, this is this is nasty.

I'm sorry, sir, here you go.

And he like, that's a different scenario because I know the people that are leaving loose garbage in my building are not paying the people that.

Come going rate to tip for trash.

Yeah, because I didn't know about that.

That's really nice.

Vere's hefty.

I mean at the time, I was like, you know what, you're dealing with the nastiness of me.

That's what the thing is is, like, what's the problem is that the people in your building are spending so much money that that they were like, well, I'm paying this money, then I'm gonna treat it like, yeah, this is what it is.

Somebody's gonna take care of that.

I don't give a fuck about this.

Somebody else take it down.

What's up?

That's what it is.

But I don't live.

I don't do that because I'm courteous.

Let's talk about the hot tub.

What floor is that on?

I don't want to say, yeah, I don't want to be too obvious about my building.

Okay, you have a hot tub, you walk in what?

But what bathing suits set the scene?

What you wear in a one piece?

Sometimes I will wear a one piece up there just because I don't need to show everything to my neighbors.

But I was on the roof the other day, tanning and I went to pee inside by the pool and there was a such a hot guy in there.

He was wearing a diving mask for some reason to like swim laps, and I like, you know, snorkel and diving mask, but like goes over your nose.

So that's scary, I know.

But I like, maybe I should ask him.

Yeah, well he hadn't put it on yet, but I was like, maybe I should ask him to put sunscreen on my back.

But then I just decided I actually can't deal with that.

I just I'm so.

I'm like, business is closed, shut down, I'm done for it.

I heard that here, folks, if you have a pool slash hot tub in your building, you should ask the hot person, the female whatever.

On your back.

I disagree.

Listen, you guys have to not ship where you eat.

That specifically, you should not this person.

You're probably gonna run into it, and just in case y'all do hook up or whatever.

So now I got it.

My home is a is a haven.

It's a peace save space.

But mine's already not peaceful for me.

So I'm like, what's more, what's one more thing?

What's worse?

Something that you know your neighbors are being frivolous and inconsiderate, or they're being inconsiderate frivolous, and they've been inside you.

Oh, in the trash room, inside you too.

I mean, if the building is big, you know, you know what they say about big buildings, right, I don't know what they say about big buildings.

Never been in one of the hose Marie.

A big buildings than a small you know what I'm saying.

Well, I hope that guy's well wherever he is.

That's all I think about him from time to time because I've never seen him in the building otherwise, like.

He might have been staying with a friend, that's true.

And last, the pool, I don't know.

He doesn't have a pool, so he's like, I might as well do some laugh he said, hey, let me bring the mask out.

Yeah, back, the brushstroke is the best stroke.

He said, butterfly freestyle, whatever you need baby.

Yeah.

And maybe he was actually like putting on He was probably flexing for the people who actually.

Live in that's kid, he's putting a fort in.

Yes, I usually wear a one piece up to the hot tub.

If it's like I'm not going up there to tan or whatever which is now it's standing seasons kind of over.

So that's my vibe up there.

I just want to know.

So you get in the hot tub, the baby's already there, or.

They show up.

The baby was doing a swim lesson in the hot time.

No, in the pool, there was two There were two kids, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, and this is happen multiple times.

There was an infant that was in one of those floaty circle things that was just vibing out, and then there was a toddler that was getting a swim lesson and the mom brought the baby in the floaty in the hot tub.

The floaty's not even built for that.

Temperature, nor is the baby.

They're not supposed they don't.

Babies can't really regulate their temperature that well.

That's why it's like you don't want to put too many blankets on them and stuff.

So to have a baby in the hot tub is like so dangerous.

And then there is a sign, like there's a sign now and everything because I get a tell on her something.

Well, can I tell you, I've been through so much I don't want to watch a baby die in front of me.

What does the sign say no children under five years old are allowed in the spa?

And that's what they should have had anyway.

But also this is why I wouldn't want a pool or hot tub in my building, because I don't want no damn kids there.

If it's my pool, if it's my hot tub, why are you bringing kids here?

We supposed to be having a good time.

Imagine me relaxing, having my hair up, feeling good, Cucumbers over my eyes.

Mommy, mommy, mommy?

Who is that?

Who's doing something to the kids?

Mean?

Is that you under the covers?

I'm actually quite I'm actually quite quiet underneath the drum, not making much noise.

When you're home alone and you got your good covers on, you're quiet.

Yeah, I've been through.

A lot, lol, lol, Mary Mary Ben, I think that somebody see if it was a co op, I think people will come together and be a little bit more on.

Yeah, they would be on top of it.

You can't you can't know that there's no governing body.

It's just like, yeah, the management company will send an email being like hey, just reminder you're not supposed to put stuff in the halls, or hey, a reminder that like you have to bring the luggage cards back downstairs.

But that doesn't mean people will do it.

Because they're not putting names to it.

And that's that's what I hate about these mass emails they did.

They did this at my job time.

They were like blah blah blah blah blah about things with customers.

And they were like, yeah, and ladies, you know after nine pm, you gotta have a hill on.

No no flats, no crocs that look like ballet slippers.

No, no crocks.

They kept like the person kept atings.

We all knew who multiple people, We all knew who you were and the person.

But this is a good example of not wanting conflict.

Why don't you just go talk to the person instead of sending an email to everyone saying don't wear crocs.

But they but I think it was because somebody else have put on a flat, because somebody else saw somebody else wear a flat.

But then the girl in an email was like.

Why don't you just say tell me this because we all started busting out laughing when we got the email.

They're like, oh, we know you talk about blah blah blah.

Where's crocks in New York City at nighttime.

I mean you hardly see them in the day because it was dark.

And it was one of those crocs that are shaped like a shoe, but it was.

A ship like a shop that might than a regular crock because it's a croc that don't know who.

We said, you're going to wear a croc, just own it.

Lean into the ugliness of the croc.

The upsetting thing is that at the at the at the bar, we would have like a little station of where the like when you need to change your you need to change a bookcase.

It was it was just like a little area where you could slip these flats on, just in case you've been on your feet for like five six hours.

So this person specifically put those rock type shoes in front, and then somebody was like, oh, their crocs ill.

I think that's what happened.

They saw that they were crocs that were like absolutely not it could have been a clined but when they saw the crocs, they.

Said, you're too comfortable here.

Yeah, that's a home that's a home shoe.

That's a shoe for like running down and let the up.

It's a shoe to take your dog out to pee and then take them off right away.

Anytime I step out of my house in my crocs, I'm like, I hope I don't see nobody that I know.

Listen, y'all do a six hour shift in five inch heels and then you come back.

You did that, and you did it effortlessly, and I've never seen you to this day in a crack.

I was also on cocaine and about nine shots of Patron and and and you know a.

Passion fruit margarita.

Listen.

Yeah, you heard it here first, folks, Cocaine is better than crocks.

I see what I'm getting from this conversation.

You agree.

Yeah, I've done a lot of coke.

I've never won Crocs.

I've done a little rocks.

That is a SoundBite, thank you.

There's just certain things I won't do, and.

I wros and I would love a partnership with Crocs.

So you guys say what you want, But.

Crocs Sydney, you don't even wear cra wear them now?

Lo Well, I mean I.

Do like the Gucci cracks they had the those.

But even that, like that's for the house or for a plane, you know, that's if you have tsa p check.

You can wear those.

Yeah, agreed, so do you even talk to your neighbors?

I feel like y'all don't have I.

Have a good rapport with the girl that lives right next to me.

She and I can like bond over the guy being kind of kooky.

You know her name?

No?

I mean I think that's new.

We have a rapport.

We don't know names.

Crazy.

Also, this is my thing.

If I see you every day, we talk every day.

It's too late now for me to ask you what your name is?

Yeah?

Why not?

And also y'all not knows y'all don't look at the mail, y'a don't look at the Amazon.

Package because we have a package room and I have a great you know who?

I love.

My favorite people in the building are the doormen and the people that work in the package room because they're just like fun vibes, like they're fun.

And I think about people being mean to them, and it makes my blood boil because I'm sure they deal with like such cunts every single day asking where's my package?

Could you guys use my package?

That makes me sick to my stomach to think about.

But they're they're just like the best, and so actually, what pisses me off about people being disrespectful and not courteous is like you're actually just making more work for them, and like, I want to be a good tenant because then it makes everybody's life an experience like more positive.

I keep my mess in my place.

Home is where the messes, and some people.

Could really take note.

I just feel like we've we've gone so far from being up our own asses that we are not, you know, we don't have a peripheral view of the people that we live with.

And these are people that hey, maybe somebody might rob me and I need to talk to my neighbor, like hey, or the person down the hall, Hey, have you seen anything?

Do you know what you And if you're not cool with them, they're like, am I really gonna come out and help you?

Not available?

Thanks for bringing that up.

Somebody got robbed?

Well, oh well, are you ready?

That is there sitting there.

We went to a party in honor of our good friend Devin Walker quitting his job, and it was in Bedstide, and it was at this really cute bar that I had never been to before, and we were outside on the back patio and we were just shooting the shit, you know, talking about enemies lovers, friends, and you do as one does when you're around a bunch of your peers comedians in a lot of ways.

And so all of a sudden we hear from the building next door.

There's also a back patio, but one of the apartments on the second or third floor, we heard screaming.

Two women screaming at each other.

Well, we didn't know it was two women.

First, I had my suspicions, and so we had the gay ear, I had the gay ear, the queer ear, and so we heard them yelling, and then one of them was like, don't fucking touch me, and the other one was like, the lights went off and they went back on, and they went off, and the blinds went down so we couldn't see anymore.

And there was just clearly an altercation happening.

So my instinct is to just like sort of stay out of it because I don't know their business.

Every other comedian we're with runs out the front door.

No, no, no, I started, I started the brigade.

Do you certainly I didn't know if you wanted to take ownership, definitely take.

Ownership with it, because it was like, if if I hear women going back and forth, those are my people.

I'm like, what were you arguing about?

You know?

So I go, I go to the front.

So you recognized them that it was two women.

Yeah, it became it was.

If it was a man, I would have told the men.

It sounds like there's you know, violence, there's a Chris Brown incident happening upstairs and whatever is happening with this wine.

Put the wine down, and we need to go.

For Put the wine down, the wind the wine, go outside, and you rang the bell.

I did ring the bell.

So here's the thing for me.

Here's a brown Stone.

No, it's like a you know, maybe five floors.

You ring the bell the unit we saw it might be rang I rang the wrong bell.

So there.

Well, I was not even in the right building.

I rang the bell on the But it's.

Hard to know what to do in those situations because I've heard an altercation once before in an apartment and I didn't want to call the cops because then you have guns involved, yes, whereas if it's just hand to hand combat, for example.

Guns Marribeth, where were you you was in YouTube?

The cops.

I'm saying if I had, if the cops came, So I don't know what to do.

I don't know what the best thing to do is.

And if anyone listening knows what the.

Best thing to do.

If you hear a physical altercation happening, what do you do Because I don't want I don't want the cops to show up and bring guns and if it's like that's just going to get a lot worse.

So in this instance, someone walked outside and then they left, well they.

The thing is is that three people came, so I wasn't alone.

Then we see one of the girls come down and you know, I don't I don't want to be mean, but.

It was it was it was just short.

It was a short queen king and.

It was it was giving they them.

Yet but it wasn't.

It was definitely this is one of those uppercase ls that I already.

She looked like k one who's very hot but very short.

So yeah, she was giving four eleven vibes and she was she looked red like she was upset.

Yeah, so I was like, oh, maybe they were just like going back.

You know, when you.

Marie, I don't think you've ever had this situation with a lover, because you date men, but you've you never had like a not a tussle, but kind of like a shake them a little bit, like let's why would you you know what's going on?

Stop?

So you think the four eleven got shook, I don't know.

I couldn't tell if they were the sugar, the shakey, the shake the shaker or the shaker.

Well they left, they left right.

So when they left and walked down the block, I go into the building.

Oh my god, I go into Sydney.

You've never seen this.

It's this here.

I don't have the but you know what.

Usually when you watch a horror movie, the white lady is like, is anybody in there?

Sydney?

That's true.

I did.

I said, hello, are you okay?

I did?

I asked?

I asked you went inside and did that.

But then I see all these things at the at the staircase in the staircase, so I was like, oh, maybe this woman is leaving.

Maybe it's a breakup.

And they were arguing because maybe the one girl who probably lives there is like, don't leave.

Don't eat, like we're supposed to figure this out.

But the person who walked out might have might have caught homegirl cheating.

I was like that all.

This is storytellers.

I am a storyteller, and that's what I'm thinking in my and I was like, let me get in the middle of this, because I would be like, hey, I am gay.

I understand girl, what y'all are going through.

Here's my badge, here's here's my lesbian badge.

Didn't and I understand when you're having a you know, altercation, when there's a move out.

I don't get it.

What do you mean?

I don't I am gay, I am gay.

I am gay.

I felt as a by person.

I did not have the authority to enter the building.

I don't have a bad I don't have a badge.

They don't give badges if you're by right, badge hold and I'm glad that it's an omni card.

I'm glad that you're very aware of that.

You know, I'm not getting involved.

We did when everybody came out, we did need a white woman.

We did.

We actually needed you there just in case.

I was just there.

Did come did I Did you knock him out?

Yes?

I hit a non binary for eleven person.

You did knock come out?

I got right there in the bag.

Oh, I thought you said, did you knock him out?

No?

I did come out, you did?

Yeah, I did?

And then someone ran into someone they knew I was eating fries.

Oh okay, Sydney.

So I'm in these people's.

House, yes, saying that's the building.

I am a gay?

How can I help?

And did anybody respond to you?

No?

But then when you were then we're standing outside and we see four eleven is coming back and we're like, all right, well.

I guess they're coming back.

That she was she had like a blanket and like sheets, and I was like, well, maybe they maybe they made up.

I don't Maybe I didn't know about that part.

I did.

I saw that, And then we walked in and then we sat down outside and we didn't hear anymore and the lights stayed off, and I was like, I guess they're fine, but somebody could have been dead in it.

But yeah, blankets in the sheets was to wrap the body up, yo.

But you know what I was looking to see on my news break, if there was any alerts, Yeah, if they if any lesbians done.

If there was any what would you call a lesbian killing.

Another lesbian homicide?

Something side yeah, side or something.

It's a it's a w women k W k.

W obviously, we hope everyone seeing they.

Are obviously we're not.

We're knot.

It was just a very neighborly incident to happen.

If I hear people yelling I'm coming outside, I'll move the curtain, I'll pick my head out the window.

Marie, you knows you don't hop my Yeah, but I'm not going into somebody else's building to be like, y'all good because.

Your part, that's not your part.

You know you what happened there was there was a woman.

Hold on, I'm superman.

That's on my chest.

That's on my chest.

So there was this woman screaming I'm talking about yeah in my building, yelling downstairs right on the floor underneath us.

Duane and me are listening, and we're like, oh my god, what's going on.

He put his shoes on and went downstairs.

He said, wait a minute.

He's like, I'm not gonna hear a woman screaming like that, yeah, and make sure they're okay.

He goes down, He listens to the to the door.

He's like, oh, she's on the phone.

She was yelling at us, so she's safe.

So that's annoying.

But so it's like, also, if your neighbor yelling just you know, you might be scaring people just if you be aware, be aware how loud was she yelling the floor top of her lung.

But also we have to understand, do you know what's mess the construction of the buildings of New York City walls?

The floors are thin thin.

Their landlords, of course they're cutting for every.

Everything is thin.

So I could literally be on FaceTime talking about, oh, you know, I think I got some new gray hairs on my koochie.

I know that everybody in the building, everybody in the hallway has heard that.

So when they see you, they'd be like, hey, Grandma, yeah, yeah, grape, you on face time talking about I only knows what my name.

I retract that statement because you know the answers.

To you about that, and you're like, I don't have that problem loud, And I'm like, all right, well.

Just me just so other people in my building know that I don't have that problem.

Well, yeah, because you don't want them to think that you have that problem.

Are are?

So that's what you know.

Brazilian wax is for rip it all off.

Yeah, not without a trace.

I need to get that without a trace.

Yeah, that's the name of my documentary.

Why does it sound like you disappeared?

Well, because she went into a building in bedside to break up a lesbian fight.

I was gonna say, because I was going to get a wax and then you.

Know, without a trace is like an unsolved case.

Just a little joke.

Well yeah, well the.

Documentaries you watch about quite women being murdered and you didn't know that it went over my head.

Okay, you know what's not going over my head?

Smells.

Let's talk about that.

You wanted to get into the any mass.

So here's my big thing lately.

When you're in your thirties.

Maybe I don't know, people start trying less or something, but I'm noticing people smell really bad breath and bo oh sometimes both.

But I also think people are in way too much perfume.

Oh, and it gives me a headache.

You're not being found.

The smell is like like too much of a fragrance is also.

Up and I just don't like I think odor.

It can be so overwhelming.

Also, when I was on vacation, someone was wearing the same colon as my ex and it made me really upset.

I feel like for me, the smells that bother me more than anything is when I get it an Uber and I feel like that there's a rise in that funky ass.

What is that smell?

Because it's not bo, it's not like Ferts and BeO.

It's a mix and spit because they're on the phone.

Roll the windows down and turn AC off.

No no, no, no, get out the car, take a lap bite, hit the lap you first of all, one thing what you need to do is take a shower before you get in the car.

You'll be like, oh, I took a shower last night.

No no, no, no, you sweat, you cough, You rolled around the shower.

Take a shower, Take a shower, then get in the car.

Right If if you are an Uber driver and listening to this, if somebody gets in in immediately, it's that roll the window down, you Stankye.

They have actually created an entirely new smell, because it's not something I ever smell, not in an Uber.

Baby.

I don't know if they're just farting in there so much.

It's a mix of international farts.

It's international farts, it's sweat, it's it's God knows.

The people getting in and out of the cars probably smelled you.

It's good they're eating.

Let me tell you what happened to me.

Air freshener, Oh my god, on top of all of that.

Hold on, I love the black eyes.

I like the black eyes.

Air freshener.

That's always the tree.

I don't want.

Airfresher on top a bad smell, because then that's just actually like burning all the nose like that.

I have chemical funk.

It's chemical funk.

Let me tell you what this man did to me the other day.

He's on the phone, very loud.

He didn't even ask me, oh is it okay?

I didn't know he's on the phone.

He's on FaceTime.

Okay, now, so that's great.

So you're on FaceTime, you're loud, you're talking, and you're driving, and you're driving.

So I'm I'm I'm annoyed.

I'm annoyed, But I say, you know what, I'm gonna let him rock.

He's talking, talking, talking, talking, fart.

You can hear the fart.

The person on the FaceTime is quiet.

I'm quiet, he's quiet, We're all quiet at the same time.

He waits fifteen seconds and then keeps talking.

No, no, no, no, we we gotta discuss this now, sir?

What please?

What?

Can you please tell us what the fart sounded like?

Was it like a word or was it like it was a It wasn't wet, but it was like her it was like a trumpet.

It was like a trumpet.

And it's like, so, you know, our the person on the FaceTime heard you.

But the person on the FaceTime didn't say anything.

So everybody just stopped.

So we all just everything stopped in time.

And then this man waited and then kept talking like nothing happened, and I said, okay, I'm like okay, and then he kept talking.

He didn't he didn't address it.

And do you know I gave him a one star.

I give him one star.

I would have been in the backseat like did you're just far?

No?

I would have been in the FaceTime with him.

I put in the notes in the review, I said, flatulence, loud.

No apology, come a loud flatulence, and then in caps loud loud.

And then I wrote scariod, no apology, exclamation.

You know what hey?

I wrote about that.

I had a good laugh.

I wrote all about this because I was like, what do I do?

Embarrassing for everybody involved?

I mean it's more irritating.

I feel like uber drivers in general have been doing a lot.

Bring back that.

Little shower curtain from him, because I need the sheet.

I need the clear sheet.

The partition.

Yeah, put up the partition, please, the.

Partition that did nothing, but I need it.

Listen, I have respect for you.

Know you're in the car.

It's a lot, it's your space.

I understand.

I'm happy I'm being driven.

Yes, thank you for picking me up in your office.

But crack a window.

Crack a window.

We've all been and even as early as last week.

I'm in a smelly ass car.

I mean, I get in, it's cold.

I'm like, it's so, I'm rolling the window down anyway, but I'm smelling smells that I don't want to smell.

I'm about to you know what I mean.

Like, you don't want me to leave the ac on I'm like, no, we need to get some air in here.

He was like, oh, it hadn't even occurred.

To him, right.

He had start carrying like a little travel baby wipes and be like, sure, you're gonna need this.

You tap it underneath your arm.

You need to reapply.

Well, Amina carries you know that little poopery hooper.

She does, she sprays the.

Car down with Does that smell good?

It smells better than better than Yeah?

Yeah, but I think I can argue with that.

But also I think we're at the time twenty five.

We gotta be honest with our friends and like people.

In a person immediately like what my breath stinks and it's like, well no, because if you have some gum, your your.

I think bo is the wrong word.

I feel like like pheromones, like the way they smell.

Naturally is there.

But I don't.

I'm not here for anybody's bo, whether I like you or not.

No, this is a This is a tough one though.

The breath.

The breath thing is like because if you're talking all night, all day, right, you might not be aware that the thing is people are dehydrated, and that is a number one telltale sign of stank ass breath.

If you're feeling very dry and you needed some water, your breath is probably hottest.

But also, y'all gotta go to the dentist.

It might be a dead tube.

I know.

I mean, I can't even learn floss.

They're not brushing, They're not they're not flashing, and they're not brushing.

You're not brushing at your big age.

I will admit that I had gum disease.

It happens.

It happens to the.

Hottest people and the sweetest people, and it can happen to you.

Well not you, you a great equalizer it is.

But you know, I will say the pandemic was rough.

So you know, I'm drinking Red Bull, I'm drinking Coca Cola, and then I'm staying up till six o'clock in the morning, and then I'm falling asleep and I didn't brush my teeth.

So this is many months of doing that.

But I don't even when you had your gum disease.

This guy was I was trying to break up with this.

Man once and his breath was bad, and all I could think was I cannot get out of here fast.

Now.

Did his breast smell all the time?

No, But like I guess, towards the end, it was getting kind of bad and I was like, it's nothing, hatter.

It made it easier for me to break up with him.

He's He's like, no, it's bagging.

He's bagging me to not do it.

And all I was like, it was so bad.

Anyway.

I hope he got the helps that he needs, but we didn't.

A straight guy, he probably didn't.

He probably didn't.

I will say the.

Hygiene Olympics, that's also mess because sometimes I think we we overdo it with the like.

You gotta be taking a shower three times a day.

You gotta time.

Yeah, Like some people are doing too much with the you're not clean.

Yeah, I agree with legs, like obviously wash your leg Yeah, but this clean person aesthetic you could you could be very clean on the outside but dirty on the inside.

Yeah, Well just do what works for you.

Well no, no, no, some people are doing what they think we're No.

But I'm saying, figure it out so it doesn't affect others.

Yeah, but if you're like a sweaty man, I'm speaking to the men specifically here, Like you work out, maybe you go play soccer in the park, you're playing basketball with your friend, like you are funky.

Yes, like shower properly and hit to Maybe some people need aluminum.

I don't know, and they do, and that's okay.

With a little cancer under your arms, like it just to make it smell not gross.

Just to stop inflicting it on others.

You know, I'm just what I would say anyway, and that's just that's just how I feel.

Should we read a message?

We should and then wrap this little thing up.

Yeah, Mary Bell, thank you for all that you brought to the tea today.

We love when.

Girl pops, I'm really guy that I'm here.

Yeah, no, it's working out, it is.

And thank you for telling them about my You know, I feel like I'm a good.

Heroic action bray for you.

That's because if anything would have happened to me, what would have been the headline says, what is something happened to you?

Yeah?

Me in this situation with trying to.

Protect heroic comedian and personality, say hot gay lesbian, good Christian gay, Hey gone bad.

Lovers, quarrel Gone to soon?

Tea Hot Late Bitch Gone too Soon is also a good title because what wait, hotly bitch might be your memoir?

Oh yeah, you were the latest today of all, that's all, and that's okay.

To be fair, I had to step over seven tables in a rug to get out of my house.

Yeah, you had to do an obstacle.

Course, you had to do American ninja warrior.

Wow, we're going to read a message from our mesties and we would love your take on this, and then we move one.

Is it mess that I'm looking forward to moving because it's closer to my husband's family.

He's military, so we don't really have a choice on moving.

He has two brothers who live about three hours away from where we live.

My husband is somehow the most mature out of all his brothers.

I find his brother's annoying, and I honestly don't care to live close to them.

Obviously, my husband is excited to live by them, and I'm happy for him, but I'm annoyed Why I find them annoying.

One of his brothers is getting a divorce, and it drains me to hear my husband talk about it.

The other one when we visit, he came home from work and got out of his vehicle, was already drinking.

Oh, his parents live in the middle of nowhere and don't really care about him, so they won't really.

Be visiting us.

Hey, he'll be close to his family and I'll be sixteen hours from mine.

Wait, can you read the first line again.

I'm sorry I read it wrong.

It isn't messed that I'm not okay at all, so opposite of what I.

Was, literally the opposite of what I sent.

As I was reading it, I was like, why was she be excited?

I don't think I think it sounds so fair and not mess I feel bad and that sounds not so fun to me.

No.

No, that's the thing is to said about marriage.

It's like, you got a compromise, you gotta come.

But when the compromise is so leaning towards this is literally just going.

To work out for you.

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

That's why I.

Feel like we should not be living near anybody's parents, because why should you get to be down the block from your family?

And then I'm nowhere near my Now I don't have family.

So that's why, you know, I did move to LA for a little bit because.

I was like, well what I have I don't have?

I mean, I got Marie and Carolina and Amina but in the cats.

But I said, they'll be fine, they have families.

They don't need me.

And then I realized I said, actually I need them.

They are my family, so chosen family.

I will not be the next situation, well, the situation, I mean, I don't know, I'm not moving.

I'm I'm in New York.

I need to be with my family.

I would hate to not get to choose where I live.

That would military.

Yeah, yet another reason I won't be joining the military.

Okay, there's a long list of reasons.

But yeah, that's a shame.

Also, if you feel like there's gonna be a bad influence on your partner, that's really bad.

That's not that's not a good situation.

So I would say, maybe just communicate it.

She doesn't really have a choice where they go because he's in the military, so right, they're gonna go.

Well, I know, but you guys just need to talk about it, yeah, and express your concerns and hopefully he'll hear you boundaries and you know understanding it's going to be hard for you.

I mean popping out the vehicle already drinking.

Hey, your brother's as.

Whenever they want, and yeah, no, they can't be trauma dumping because then I got to hear about that.

And if you want to hear about it, that's fine, but I don't.

Yeah, so you got to keep that, put it in a journal, put in a group chat.

I'm not the one.

Yeah, you gotta have a conversation with him before that move happened.

But she's already annoyed hearing about the divorce.

Yeah, so that's maybe I'm only.

Gonna want to vent about that divorce as much as he can.

Mm yeack, Mary, thank you for coming here and thank you for having me and airing it out.

I'm just good to talk about it.

Yeah, cut it off my chest.

Tell people where they can follow you and what you got going on.

Follow me at Mary Beth Barone on Instagram and TikTok, and then I have some shows coming up in New York I'm doing.

I don't know if the well, just go to my website and you'll see where I'm performing because that's where I keep it all updated.

Hey, yay, thank you.

I don't think you're going to move anytime soon.

No, yeah, you're just stay there with it.

It remains to be seen.

I guess we'll see.

I have I'm trying to manifest something, but I don't know how long it's gonna take.

Yeah, manifestation feels like you got to be real patient for that.

Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's not on your timeline.

But also you got to have good vibes and you really just got to put out you know is coming.

It's coming.

I'm working towards it, and then, you know, put it in the back, put it in the back of your mind, and then it'll pop up whenever you least expect.

I would like for you to take this advice that you're saying as well.

I do.

I would like for you to take this advice as well.

Everything that you worried.

About, you know, and you're resilient, and you're resilient.

It's coming.

That's not shay Justice Warrior.

Why am I on child?

Why am I on child?

She's seeing Justice Warrior as a slur.

I gotta go, all right, goodbye.
