Speaker 1

And we're officially back.

What's up, Jenny, warn't you and Morocco orre's that tan ad dog?

Speaker 2

Okay, Well, it's like their winter there.

Okay, it's just like he's not.

I'm like summer year round there.

Speaker 1

First of all.

Also, I do think that my skin does not tan like it used to after being here, but people will always do that.

When I come back from beat vacation, like you were just in Hawaiian, I'm like f off, so I thought I would be that annoying person to you.

Speaker 3

No, I mean I was mostly in like city cities.

They do have a lot of coastal towns that people go to visit and stuff.

But even on the coastal side of things, like the sun wasn't that hot, it wasn't like booming town.

Speaker 1

Sweaty in your pictures.

Speaker 3

There was only a couple times where I got sweaty, just because when I tell you, I'm very good at directions, but these cities are so confusing.

I don't even know how to describe them.

I've never been in cities like that before.

So I would have a reservation or something somewhere, and I'd be like busting ass to get there, and I would get lost, and so then I'd sweat a little bit in my attempt to get somewhere on time.

But luckily in Morocco, they kind of are like island time people where they're very relaxed and chill.

Speaker 2

And if you're late, it is what it is.

Speaker 3

They're late, like the markets open at like maybe ten am, depends on what they're feeling.

Speaker 1

Right day, you know, kind of vibe.

Speaker 2

So no, I stayed mostly not too sweaty.

Speaker 3

There was one video, so if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen this video I posted where I was like on the back of some random person's moped.

So right before that video, I recorded myself being like, man, I'm like so pumped be in this city.

There's like hills and I'm getting to work out in and I feel like I've been eating a lot and not getting much of a workout in.

Speaker 2

But holy shit, am I sweating right now?

Speaker 3

And then I find out I'm going the wrong way like two seconds literally like seconds later, the sky rolls up.

He was the manager of the place I was staying.

He's like, Jenny, you're going the wrong way whatever, and then I hop on the back of that and it was so nice because the wind was blowing my pits and I was getting that like breeze and I was like, oh, thank god, because I was like, I love vacation where I'm not profusely sweaty me too.

I mean, islands are great, but there's a part of me that eventually I'm like, I'm fucking overbeing so.

Speaker 1

Hot A grade A grade everymore.

So that's why I like my sister like loves living in Florida.

I'm like, I couldn't live there.

No, I could visit either, for sure, but I yeah, okay, so I have tons of Morocco questions.

Okay, we literally usually debrief before the podcast.

Speaker 2

We haven't about Morocco, so we haven't.

Speaker 1

Okay, so let's start from the first.

A lot like their initial concern was you were just afraid to travel by yourself, Yes, safety, various reasons like that.

So how was that portion?

Speaker 4

So?

Speaker 3

Yes, I was nervous, more so about the fact that everywhere that I was kind of reading about things, it was kind of advised to not go to Morocco solo as a female.

And it was not saying that you couldn't.

You just had to take extra precautions and stuff.

And now I've traveled alone in my van in the Midwest, but I've never gone to a different country.

Yeah, that speaks a different language, Like that's so different.

So after literally the first day, I felt perfectly fine.

Okay, And I will say that, don't believe everything you read online.

Moroccan people are very friendly.

Yes, there is an extreme amount of harassment from the vendors because they're just trying to get you to buy things.

Speaker 1

Liking it to a ton of mal Kiosk workers.

Speaker 3

Exactly, it's like every two seconds someone's trying to talk to you.

And I got extra harassment, I would say, for the sense that I was a solo woman.

Yeah, but it was never in a way that made me feel unsafe.

It was in a way that that's their culture, Like that's literally their job to like holler at you and try to get you to come shop or whatever, and they just want to talk and stuff.

So literally I had said on this podcast and too fallin that I will make sure that I only stay out when it's light out, and I do this and this and that, and second day and I was going to dinner at like six.

I stayed out till like ten pm that night, because I wanted to see this belly dancing show, so genuinely, I felt very safe.

I did bring a taser with me just in case, So like a couple nights when I was walking by myself and everything, I kind of closed off.

I did hold that in my hand, just because I would do that literally anywhere.

Speaker 1

And you stayed and you but you stayed mostly on pretty popular area and things like that.

Yeah, yeah, very much.

Speaker 3

So I stayed in the areas that like, basically where tourists are going.

So it's not like I was going to the outskirts of the city that nobody really would venture to as a tourist.

Yeah, but I mean, in full honesty, yes, I felt safe.

However, I'm not going to deny the fact that I did have a full blown panic attack the first day.

So basically what had happened is I travel.

I had a pretty stressful start to my travel because something weird was going on, saying I had to have this other credit card associated with my sky Miles account and I didn't have that, and they were like, hey, well you have twenty five minutes to figure it out, and then we can't get your luggage on the plane, and you can't go, and I was like, well, what the fu And the guy wasn't really helping me, So.

Speaker 2

That gets figured out.

Speaker 3

But that was literally like thirty minutes of stress to start the entire long travel day.

Then I travel It's a REDDA flight to Morocco from Atlanta.

I slept for maybe twenty minutes, and I had a whole row to myself, Like I laid across the seas and I just could not sleep.

Speaker 2

So I'm exhausted.

Speaker 3

But I get there, hit the ground running, like just start doing a million things, and I can feel my body starting to crash.

So I get back to my read which is like their version of hotels there, and it's like five PM and I'm kind of just chilling and I lay down and it's like seven and I fall asleep for like twenty minutes and then I wake up and I started feeling really anxious, like super anxious, and I could tell it was leading to worse, and I stood up and I started having a panic attack.

And I don't know, I know what caused it to an extent, it was the fact that Marrakesh is a crazy city.

It is bustling, it is people everywhere, it's confusing, and I'm in a foreign country, so I know that I was like overwhelmed right off the bat.

I was so fucking tired because I had barely slept for like twenty four hours.

I was starting my period.

Got it the next day, and I knew I was about to start it.

And then I get I don't know what it's called, but I've learned more about it recently.

I think it's like PMDD, where it's like pre menstrul disorder something where you get higher anxiety and like or like depression or something.

And I definitely know that I get that.

And so all of these things I think compiled on top of the extreme lack of sleep, and I started panicking.

And when that happens sometimes I can't call myself and I had to like get up and pace, and I was like, what am I going to do?

And in my head like this is how anxiety works, Like I'm in fight or flight mode, Like I feel like I'm dying, and I'm like I want to go home and I'm so far away from home right now.

And so I sat there and I'm.

Speaker 2

Like what do I do?

What do I do?

Speaker 3

I was like just walk, just walk around, just breathe, and eventually I went up to the rooftop and I got some like fresh and it went away, and I was good, but I was stressing out because I feel like the last time I started having a panic attack like that, it lasted a very long time, and so I just I don't know.

I once again hate anxiety for the fact that I'm a logical human who needs to understand exactly what just happened.

And I couldn't understand why that was happening because I was so excited all day, like I was having a really good time.

But then I literally slept for not twelve ten hours that night, and then I woke up.

I felt like a new person, and then the rest of the trip was fine.

But that first night I really started a panic and my sister had messaged me really early and I was like, are you alive?

Like it's a seven hour difference, So I think she was concerned because I hadn't like posted anything in a while, and so her and one other person, the guy I'm seeing, are the only people I told that I kind of freaked out a little bit, and I was like, well, don't tell mom, So hi Mom, if you're listening, yeah, I had a little bit of a panic attack, but I'm good.

But I told my sister, I'm don't tell mom this.

I don't want her to like freak out whatever.

So, yes, it was a very good trip minus the panic attack.

And even with the panic attack, I'm still happy.

Speaker 2

That I went.

Speaker 3

And I would advise anyone who considers solo traveling to be something you maybe want to do but you're scared to try it at least, like maybe try it once.

Speaker 2

If it's not for you, it's not for you.

Speaker 1

Two more questions, What was the food, Like, did you like it?

Speaker 3

I'm gonna be honest, it's good, but it's good for a day, yep, And I was pretty ready to get home for that.

That was the only minus the panic attack.

The only other part I didn't love was I just felt like I was so sick of the food and also like there's not a lot of healthy options there and I just wanted to go to like a market and get stuff, but like they advise you not to eat the fruit because unless it has appeal, So like I was like trying to find bananas and stuff like that, which I was able to find, but that was about it.

Like I didn't eat a vegetable for like a.

Speaker 2

Week pretty much.

So that that I did love.

Speaker 3

And just like the part that I did get like a little lonely was eating alone, yeah, constantly.

That was like the only part because I'm not usually a person if I'm eating a meal with someone, I'm not on my phone, you know, like meals, I usually don't sit on my phone at all.

But then like I felt like there was nothing else for me to do but look at my phone at those moments, and so I got kind of bored with eating by myself.

So that was the only part.

I mean, I met a few different people.

I had a lunch where these two women got sat next to me.

I was a mom and daughter, and they asked me one question then we ended up talking.

They both like lived in Texas for a while.

Mom lives in Miami now, daughter lives in London, and we ended up talking pretty much the whole meal then, So that was nice.

It was like I kind of ate with them, sort of had a meal with them.

And then I met just like a couple of random like people who worked in the markets.

I would have conversations with them about life, Like Moroccan people just love to talk about their culture, and one guy who I bought a leather bag from, he told me how Morocco really is like super safe, And then he was talking about how this one American girl had come and she was saying how the city she lives in America is not very safe, like she's felt so much better in Morocco than she does in the city that she lived in.

And I was trying to figure out what city it was, but he couldn't remember, but yeah, it was.

It was really fun.

Like I said, would you recommend going.

Speaker 1

For a week or would you say stop in for a few days and then go do with some other stuff.

Speaker 3

I would recommend going for longer than a week if you plan on doing the amount of things I did, because I did way too much in seven days.

I also would have loved to go to like the Sahara Desert and done like that, or go to the one of the coastal towns, but I just couldn't because the thing with Morocco is if you want to see all the things that are kind of worth seeing, you have to be willing to like hop on trains, buses, cars, taxis whatever like pretty often.

And I was getting really drained from doing all of that, so I would say, yes, it's worth it, because every city is different.

I went to four different cities and they were all so different and so interesting to see.

I mean, they all would have markets and stuff like that, but it's like the northern part has like a Spanish vibe to it, and then like the imperial cities have the palaces and like the history of sultans and stuff like that, and then like the Blue city I went to was just like in the mountains, and so I feel like there's so many different things you can see that it's hard to be like only go for a few days.

Yeah, only spend a couple days in each city.

But I would like go to even more cities and go out to the desert still and do that.

Speaker 1

Okay, yeah, well that's awesome.

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Let me tell you the one thing.

Now, I did say this on the morning show, so sorry if you listen to the Morning Show and this and hear repetitive stories.

Speaker 2

But I can't remember if I told you this.

Speaker 3

How I started stressing out when I had to take one plane from like the north part of the country back to Marrakesh.

I tell you it, Okay, So I that whole fucking day was crazy because it started with they have an app called in Drive.

An in drive is technically not legal, but that's like their version of Uber, and it's not legal yet because of like all this regulation and taxi drivers are like, you're taking our business.

Speaker 2

Whatever.

Speaker 3

So I set up an in drive driver to take me to the airport.

The next day at twelve thirty, I get a text from him at eleven and eleven am and he goes, hey, Jenny, a few of my friends have been pulled over today and they got their license taken away for thirty days.

Like I'm sorry, but like I can't take you to Tetuan.

I would advise you not doing a drive, like taking a drive with an inn drive driver, like the police are out looking for them today.

Speaker 2

Oh wow okay, and I go, okay, great.

Speaker 3

Luckily I hadn't booked my flight because of the fear of that happening, so I hadn't booked the flight yet, so I wasn't in like panic modent.

I'm like, I got some time, I'll figure it out.

So I get on a bus.

I was able to find a bus, which I originally would have done anyways, but it's said that the bus was full that I needed for the time I needed, but there ended up being a spot, so I get a bus.

I get to that city where the airport is.

No nobody really speaks English there and I hadn't experience that yet.

Most people spoke at least good enough English to be able to communicate, and the city it was.

Any taxi person that pulled over was like not picking me up and taking me to the airport, and I'm like, well fuck.

Finally I get down, I redownload in Drive and I was like, I'll just like get an in drive driver then yeah, and then as soon as I download it, it says there's suspicious activity on your account blah blah blah blah, and then I shut it off.

And I think after that was when I googled is in drive legal and it said it's not, and I was like, well, fuck yeah, so I delete it.

Finally get a taxi to the airport.

I'm there like three and a half early, three and a half hours early for my flight, and I'm like waiting to check in.

They finally let me check in and then I go through the little tiny TSA area.

I get through that and then there's like passport control.

The passport control guy goes Marrakesh, You're going to Marrakesh and I go yeah, and he kept asking me and I go yeah.

And then he hands my passport to another guy who's like, you're going to Marrakesh, and I was like, how many fucking times do I have to say it, Yeah, I'm going to Marrakesh.

And then he hands my passport to another person who has like police on his like vest, and I'm like, well, this is stressing me out.

And I'm like, what what is happening?

And then like they're all looking and they're speaking in whatever language they're speaking in, and I can't understand anything.

Most of them couldn't understand English.

And so then eventually this guy's like, come with me, and I was like, oh my god, it's happening.

I'm getting detained in Morocco because I fucking downloaded intro.

Speaker 2

Oh no, and I'm panicking.

Speaker 3

And what it comes down to a very long story longer is I was just there too early and they didn't want to let me through to the part where you can just sit and wait for a plane because there was another plane to Amsterdam that still hadn't boarded, so they were like this airport's too small.

We're not letting you through to like the seating area.

Okay, so wait out here.

But at first the guy goes wait here for four and I go for four minutes, like what is that?

So I'm like sitting there waiting for like ten minutes, like if someone's going to take me away?

Now, like am I in trouble?

And finally I went up to some woman who I knew spoke a little bit of English that worked there, and she's like, yeah, they probably just didn't let you through because like it's such a small airport and I'm like, okay, well, y'all are stressing me the fuck out, passing my passport around, asking me a.

Speaker 2

Million questions as so, are you going to a Marrakesh?

Speaker 3

Are you going to Marrakesh, and then taking me out of that area and like escorting me out like I don't know what to think at that point.

Speaker 2

Yeah, So yes, I was.

Speaker 3

A little like I was stressed, but I was pretty proud of how I handled it in the sense of like internally, because five years ago I would have been having another panic attack.

Yeah, And I was like fine, there was a little bit of anxiety, but I was like, it's okay, you really.

Speaker 2

Didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 3

Sure, you downloaded an illegal app and you probably should enough.

But I literally thought I was getting like pulled aside because I had downloaded in drive.

Speaker 1

And your mind goes to crazy place.

Yes it does.

Speaker 3

Yeah, when you're like across the world, no one's near you, no one's speaking English, it's like, well fuck yep.

But anyways, I'm trying to think, because I did write down like a bunch of stories, if they're anything in particular, I did message talent that.

Unfortunately the morning before the ten hour flight back to atlantacause I thought the food was gonna rip you up before and throughout the trip.

Speaker 2

It didn't.

Speaker 3

It didn't until that morning.

I was looking through just the souvenir shops and the airport and I feel a rumble and I go, oh no, And I had to jet into the bathroom.

And I spent like three different turns in the bathroom leading up to having to board that plane, and I'm like, is this how this ten hour flight is going to go?

Speaker 2

I am so miserable right now?

Speaker 1

Are you fine?

On the plane?

Speaker 2

I was fine.

I didn't have any problems it eventually went away.

Speaker 3

I think I got whatever out of my system like at the airport, but it was, yeah, I was I was getting like hot in the face thinking about having to be on the air plane and needing to like maybe shit my brains out.

Speaker 2

Yeah, like I just I don't even know so.

Speaker 1

Well, the photos were beautiful, looked like a very very fun, beautiful time.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1

It was great.

Speaker 3

And I'm telling y'all, tripods are the new Instagram boyfriends.

Okay, forget your Instagram boyfriend or Grandpa's that or partner.

Just get a fucking trypod and one that has a clicker so you can just like snap a million photos.

Because one guy did come up to me in the Blue City and was like, hey, can I take your picture here?

Because I was like taking photos of like a pretty famous spot.

He's like, I've been waiting for someone like with a yellow dress and he's a professional photographer.

And I said sure, perfect.

I was like, let me follow you on Instagram then, and so he sends me the photos hideous, awful, awful lighting, awful angles, awful, features of my face were like in focus, and I was like, what the how did my tripod that I just hit the clicker a million times, take better pictures than you with your fucking like three thousand dollars camera.

Yeah, and you have like forty thousand followers on Instagram.

Like no, And so he tried to I feel like this sounds so snobby and influencery.

Speaker 2

But he tried to collab with me on the post he.

Speaker 3

Did of me, and I was like, absolutely cannot and I'm sorry, thanks for taking the photos.

I liked his post, but I am not collabbing on this film.

Speaker 1

Yeah that's funny.

I've had that before.

Yeah, someone with a fancy camera take the worst photos.

I'm like, all right, yeah, I'm like.

Speaker 2

I was so pumped.

Speaker 3

I was like, oh, I'm gonna get some great photos, like professional photos that he just wanted for his own portfolio.

And they were yeah, not great.

So well, what did I miss while I was gone?

What have you been up to?

Speaker 2

What if I did you miss me?

Speaker 1

That's all I thought about.

Speaker 3

I know, I figured you got to see my face all over Instagram, but you didn't get to see it in person.

Speaker 1

I know it's hard for me.

No, I I did a lot.

I feel like I'm I've been constantly scheduling booking things.

Yeah, this is the time of the year where I'll be like with what we do.

We get invited to a lot of previews of holiday things, so I've had to be like yes, no, yes, no, maybe kind of thing.

So my schedule is full, Like I don't think there's a single thing else I could add to it at this point, and which is a good problem to have.

But I so I've been doing a lot of that, like ordering Christmas cards.

I've threatened everyone in my life that they have tell me what they want before Block Friday because I'm buying all their stuff on Block Friday to save money.

And we ordered our Christmas cards.

That's all set.

So I got those, got delivered today and I'm gonna stamp those bitches get them out.

Just trying to get things checked off the list.

And yeah, and I'm excited for a short week, which is like really nice.

We like this weekend.

Dylan turns eighteen on Thanksgiving, which is crazy, so we're doing like a nice steak dinner for him Saturday.

We're gonna go we like every year we go to that Miracle at Big Rockets out near Taylor's Falls.

I really love that one.

It's my favorite, like kind of like walk through light things.

Speaker 2

I'll never be to that one.

Speaker 1

They all be honest, I do partnerships with them.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but you love it.

Speaker 1

I love it because I would.

I would have said no after your one if I didn't love it.

And I was trying to think, oh, I saw that movie Eternity, so I've seen now.

I saw Wicked for good.

I thought it was fine.

Speaker 2

I've been so that's making me sad because I kind of thought i'd go see it over.

Speaker 1

You should still see it.

Speaker 3

I definitely am gonna still see it, but I'm like, do I wait because I'm not really a movie theater person, and wait till I can just watch it at home?

Speaker 1

Or do I need to see that the Wicked movies you wouldn't want to see in the theater.

But I think, you know, it's been so so, so so long since I've seen the musical.

I didn't remember that, like the majority of the best songs are in the first half of the play, and I thought there was a lot of like they went through a lot.

Yeah, and even though it was two hours, it's like, I don't know, I part one.

I prefer some people prefer part two, but definitely.

I feel like Part one got better reviews maybe, but I saw Eternity with Tina that one might be the best or probably the second best movie I saw this year.

I think the best movie I've seen this year as Sinners.

So I would say this is so different.

It's like a romantic comedy kind of and the just is Elizabeth Olsen's character.

She dies and she has to decide who she spends eternity with, her husband she was married to for like two years but he died in the war, or the husband she spent like sixty seven years with and they had kids together because she never got like the full life experience.

What the first husband.

Speaker 2

I have seen the trailer this.

Speaker 1

And so it was so good.

I haven't had a unique seen a unique plot for a movie.

Yeah, it was so funny and I cried.

I thought it was so good.

So anyway that one comes out, I think like the twenty sixth or something, So I would recommend it.

Other thing.

Last time we talked, I was super into the Lily Allen album.

Now I'm obsessed with the Hayley Williams album from Paramore.

She went independent.

She like job this new album.

I skip a handful of songs, but there are like six or seven just great songs on it kind of meet for me.

It's like the first three, the last three, and then there's like one kind of in the middle that's like what I keep finding myself going to but really really into that, And yeah, that's kind of what I've been doing, just been like I listened to The Housemaid because I wanted to like listen to that book before I saw the movie.

So I when I see that movie when it comes out, which I think comes out in December, which is exciting.

Speaker 3

I So this is a really random thing from my trip.

So one of the reads I stayed at, the guy who like set me up in my room.

He shows me around the read, gives me the tour, and then he like shows me the room and stuff, and up in like the corner there is the book The Housemaid Funny and he points at it and he goes, have you read this?

Speaker 2

And I was like, no, but I've heard it's really good.

He goes, yeah, that's my book.

I love it.

And I was like, you just.

Speaker 3

Like randomly put it into one of the rooms that people like there's nothing else in this d Like this was like kind of the lamest read I stayed at throughout the trip of the four I stayed at and he's like, oh, and then he started talking about it, and I wanted him to stop because I didn't want him to spoil anything for me, and I already I knew that I would forget what he said anyways, and so I have forgot most of what he said, and I don't think any of it was really necessarily a spoiler, but I kind of wanted to be like, please stop talking, because I did want to read this someday and I don't want you to spoil it, or I want to.

Speaker 2

See the movie.

Speaker 1

It was.

I kind of predicted the main twist, I guess, but I was like, I don't know how this is going to end.

Yeah, So I liked it.

I'm excited to see it.

But we did get an email like, literally, I meant to rate it on the last podcast, so I'm going to do it.

Speaker 2

Oh was it timely?

Speaker 4

No?

Speaker 1

Okay, So she said, I listened from the first episode of your podcast and then I went and binged from like day one, and she said she is getting lots of loos from each episode.

So she said, I got to the episodes last night about adopting Frank.

I had already heard the newer, very descriptive Cane I'm Self Pleasure episode.

Now hearing when you adopted him describing him as super sweet and cuddly is so fucking funny to me.

I'm thinking, Kay, Fallon, you're in for it with this freak.

I just imagine you're sick.

Well, he maintains shameless eye conduct and continues anyway, so happy I picked up the pod.

I was two lame for Radio Binger Morning Show podcast Daily and Minnesota Goodbye Listener.

But my schedule changed and I fell off the morning show plus the Minnesota Goodbye a little before you left.

Seriously, I missed you two together the most.

Have a great weekend.

I don't know how this email ended up so long.

Forgive me father.

Speaker 3

Oh gosh, it was not It wasn't at all.

I was like, I feel like that was actually quite to the point.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and then let's see I'm trying to go through.

Oh I wrote down just or I had screenshotted something from Instagram, you know, like you'll see those things, and I thought it was just like, oh, I want to read that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, okay, is it an inspirational, Yeah kind of.

I'm gonna tell by the way your voice just changed a little bit that it was going to be like, I don't know.

Speaker 1

If it's inspirational or eye opening.

Okay, So she said this girl posted, It just was like, I don't know.

Maybe she's the local, maybe she's not.

My grandma told me about this thing, and it's been living rent free in my mind.

In five years, most of the people you see every day will be strangers again.

The colleague you laugh with at lunch, the neighbor you chat to on the stairs, the gem buddy you spot between sets gone, not in a tragic way, just faded out of your orbit.

That's how life works.

People flow in, they flow out.

And here's the kicker.

You can't control who stays.

Sometimes even the people you think are forever become five year strangers.

When I first realized this, it's stung.

I thought about all the energy I've poured into trying to make everyone like me, all the times I said yes to things I didn't want to do, all the times I shrink myself to fit into someone else's version of me, only for them to disappear from my life anyway.

And then it hit me.

If so many people are only here for a chapter, why am I living my whole story for them?

This is your reminder You're allowed to invest your energy where it matters to you.

You're allowed to outgrow people.

You're allowed to build a life that feels good to you, even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else, because in five years they might be strangers again, but you will still be here.

And you actually said something to me.

I won't get into the details of It had nothing to do with like relationships in a way, but you were talking about about something.

It was like honestly, like an event or something.

You're like, I was gonna say yes to this and then decided not to because I've your Jenny's really bad about like putting everyone before herself basically, and you were like and I finally was just like no, I'm like, I want to do this for me or whatever.

And I was like, hell yeah.

So I read that, and I was like that made me think of you, and like just all the times you've said yes to things you didn't want to do and just shrink yourself to fit.

And so anyway, and I think a lot of people listening will probably feel that as well.

Yeah, and it's like those people that you are shifting who you are or saying yes to doing going to an event or some shit you don't want to do very well, likely will be strangers to you in five years.

So like I know, like you can't just always put yourself first, yeah, but you should be primarily putting yourself first.

Speaker 3

So I yes, it is something I have learned a lot of in the last handful of months because I don't know, I just you know, lots of things obviously have changed for me.

But like I also, I am like I feel like I have caused so much stress on myself to please other people, and like, I don't know, it's like there's so many things I pinpointed over the last probably year or so of why I have anxiety, Like there are reasons that are like chemical imbalances, but there's also reasons that are self induced.

And I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I stress myself out so much thinking I'm going to disappoint someone and I don't want to do that, and so then I say yes to things and Fallin messaged me while I was in Morocco asking me to go to something and I literally go ask someone else.

Speaker 2

I'm not signing up for anything right now.

Speaker 3

I am drained from this trip currently, and I don't think I want to do much like I want.

Speaker 2

It to be a free space for me to do whatever I want when I get back.

Speaker 3

So and I didn't feel bad about it because I knew you'd understand.

But like someone else that maybe would have asked me, I probably maybe would have felt bad, you know, But with you, I feel like you fully understood where I was coming from.

Speaker 1

And yeah, I know.

I'm like, it's this is the time of year you have to start saying no because it's the busiest time of year and you have a million things to commit to.

And so anyway, I saw that and I liked it, and I was like, I'm gonna share that.

I just saved like a little video on Instagram.

Speaker 3

I liked the video I sent you of the God what now I'm gonna say it wrong, but like the fucks one.

Yeah, because like Fallin's bit is to like flip me off or whatever.

So a lot of times we'll send each other reels where like someone's doing something weird and you don't know how it's gonna end, it's like them flipping you off.

Yeah, and this guy was like doing like a samurai sword.

Fuck.

He's like, do this fuck and then he'd like samurai sword his fingers down till he has this middle finger up.

And I just thought it was so funny.

And I'm like, Fallon should do a video like this.

I know, it's not like I feel like it's more of an inside joke than like if you were to post it on social media that people would necessarily understand to be a TikTok post probably, But yes, Coln also sent me a very nice reel, which normally we don't send each other nice reels.

It's usually like joking me me kind of things.

But you sent me a nice one about like what was it like you missed me or something.

It wasn't you missed me, but it's like when you miss a person that's like, yeah, you're bestie or something.

Speaker 4

And I was like, oh, you missed me someone else for you, Well, welcome back, Happy to have you have you back on the podcast he is doing for Thanksgiving.

Well, come over to our Thanksgiving at least for dinner.

I just I feel like I have to go home because I do have some little presence for the fam, which I was kind of gilted into.

I'll tell you about that later.

God, but it was my mom's birthday yesterday, so.

Speaker 1

It would be related.

Cindy.

Speaker 3

It would be nice to see her, and I did get her something specifically, that I wanted to get her because I was in Morocco and I wanted to give it to her for her birthday.

So I feel like I really do want to go home.

However, I just I just want to lay in my bed.

I want to be one with my bed.

I want to have a heating pad on my crooked neck that's been fucked up for like three weeks from sexual intercourse.

Speaker 1

You're gonna share that part.

Speaker 2

I don't really care anymore.
