Unknown Speaker 4:56
So I'm up though. We think I'm safe. We up but I
Unknown Speaker 5:00
We'll say the one thing I do when the week has been crazy is gone my notes app, right ladies
Unknown Speaker 5:09
it's sacred to woman like it's our Bible. I don't know a man who like goes on the notes more than a female. Absolutely not female.
Unknown Speaker 5:19
Can I leave? Okay, sorry you came out dude. I used to say that as a joke but now it's like Loki integrated
Unknown Speaker 5:29
females are acting weird
Unknown Speaker 5:34
so we have a lot of stuff on our notes that we thought it'd be funny to share a lot of it's actually kind of really depressing. No, but I got some things that will like be a buffer let's start off with this is in my notes app. A whole note nothing else in it. Ginger walks like her name is Kevin.
Unknown Speaker 5:51
Dude
Unknown Speaker 5:54
read a scooter like does not help.
Unknown Speaker 5:58
So
Unknown Speaker 6:00
it was like our senior trip to Disneyland last year. And we were all just sitting at the table and it was so late we
Unknown Speaker 6:09
got up to go do something and we were all sitting there. We're so tired and ginger or Gianna just goes ginger looks like her name is Kevin.
Unknown Speaker 6:18
So tired, but I never love so. I literally I was talking to a girl once and she's like, are you okay? And I was like yeah, what's like what's wrong? She's like, Why do you like walk?
Unknown Speaker 6:30
What do you need? I was literally because I do like a little
Unknown Speaker 6:35
little jig is a jolly guy. Does everything like okay, like
Unknown Speaker 6:40
it's okay. She was She love that girl shout out kiss me again. All right. Oh, Lord, are you
Unknown Speaker 6:48
good.
Unknown Speaker 6:50
Cut that out. That's funny. My my notes app is like literally just like a bunch of random stuff. Mostly really sad ones. But one time I wrote in my Okay, a little backstory. I'm like, okay, so I dated a man once upon a time, and he broke up with me and I wrote in my notes app. My toxic trait is that when men dumped me I assume they're asexual and to this day, I swear by this day, I swear my ex boyfriend is in the closet sorry if I just
Unknown Speaker 7:21
sorry if I outed you. Maybe you saved to
Unknown Speaker 7:27
ginger or Eliana? I think like genuinely I would be in a state of just like complete misery if I was a man sexual like gay awakening. That would like that would show my self esteem. I was like I was the one that made you realize you like my age? Okay, because he made me realize I don't like
Unknown Speaker 7:45
it was mutual. Mutual. Yeah, we see something. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 7:51
And like when I saw him
Unknown Speaker 7:54
the other day he's like his legs are so
Unknown Speaker 8:00
his legs are so tiny. This is a walk in the wind gets too hard he's gonna fall
Unknown Speaker 8:07
for him yeah
Unknown Speaker 8:11
alright, what do you guys got Maddie you want to go shoot my notes app it's really boring all I internalized

Unknown Speaker 8:31
No one's home
Unknown Speaker 8:34

Unknown Speaker 8:41
What else do I got?
Unknown Speaker 8:44
A good one
Unknown Speaker 8:50
let me pull it up. So think about my notes app is like I used to use it as a journal but recently I have it right in a notepad like a normal person
Unknown Speaker 9:01
no I used to Yeah, well I like I use a journal now like to physically write it down. He says half and a half orange chicken teriyaki.
Unknown Speaker 9:09
The order
Unknown Speaker 9:12
below couldn't remember your own candle Are you gonna write it down
Unknown Speaker 9:18
another good one. Express
Unknown Speaker 9:23
i Oh, this is this is a good one my Christmas list. So just let me preface before I admit this to like preface because it's a little embarrassing probably one of the most embarrassing things about me I'm
Unknown Speaker 9:42
a little natural selection.
Unknown Speaker 9:47
even know this. Like someone that would be
Unknown Speaker 9:52
the thing is we'll go out to eat and shoot like say we'll get ice cream or something and be like, Okay, did you make your order and she was like, I want peanut butter.
Unknown Speaker 10:00
Ice Cream drizzled all over it really
Unknown Speaker 10:04
highly wouldn't when you found out a whole year later that I'm lactose intolerant after all of our ice cream like why the hell did you go to all these? Because it's gonna go to like a single time I go to cold stone with them and then after I'd be like no
Unknown Speaker 10:25
I just wanted to hang out with my friend
Unknown Speaker 10:30
Tomika for that Chai yeah
Unknown Speaker 10:35
oh my god the other the other day for Ashley's birthday. I forgot to get milk in my my coffee too. And Maddie had to drink it. Oh, devastating. It's it's a challenge dude. It's my disease. myself. I'm training my body not to like I don't think you could do that.
Unknown Speaker 10:53
I definitely it's not like a deadly reaction. Blow up.
Unknown Speaker 10:58
I just take a little Benadryl
Unknown Speaker 11:02
girl on Tik Tok that ate like a little piece of carrot for like a whole year
Unknown Speaker 11:10
that's fake Christmas list for last year it says Christmas list. Peanut butter. And then the second one is nut butter.
Unknown Speaker 11:19
Peanut
Unknown Speaker 11:25
and Kevin
Unknown Speaker 11:27
All right, that's given with the peanut allergy
Unknown Speaker 11:31
have one it's titled bits I'm committed to
Unknown Speaker 11:36
one part of it so like imagine this a song as playing any song and I will say Oh, did you know that? I did this I did vocals on this by the way
Unknown Speaker 11:47
did you actually know I ghost wrote for this
Unknown Speaker 11:52
so stupid to or like the ad libs in the back. That's me by the way.
Unknown Speaker 11:56
The stupid Alan and no one buys voicemails. Sorry I missed your call.
Unknown Speaker 12:02
Me I could do it and then another one. And he's like so say like someone's like, oh, like I have a really bad headache. Or my leg hurts. I'll be like, Oh, that's my bad.
Unknown Speaker 12:13
Oh, that's on me. Sorry. That hasn't Nuendo sorry. Oh, another good note was It was literally so was my axe when we broke up the first time. Okay. It was literally like, three days after my birthday just saying but two days after my birthday. I guess we were on FaceTime or something. Instead of saying grapefruit she said great for
Unknown Speaker 12:37
my notes that blah blah blah said remember instead of grapefruit? Yeah, and help me get over Do you remember your inside joke with her? Dude, I can't even like so.
Unknown Speaker 12:48
You guys just did not find you to explain it. No, I need to explain it. You guys did not like us this week. I still Oh, but this is like at the beginning of her friendship with this person. And gingers like so like she was like me and blah blah blahs. Inside joke is a vegan soy Zaza pie. It's like nearly a
Unknown Speaker 13:06
friend that was like trending at the time and ginger you're inside joke is like a popular meme right now.
Unknown Speaker 13:12
It was like not even a funny one. I was so like doubly in love like so definitely in love so much. That's like stuff I would like let her get away with so now everyone's ginger. How do you want your vegan soy sauce
Unknown Speaker 13:28
shout out to her though. Shout out
Unknown Speaker 13:32
it is a Canon event
Unknown Speaker 13:37
three days get over it right now. It hasn't even been 72 hours I think like no one like I was like because I would see take talked about like the first like woman heartbreak you have. Oh, that was like Oh, whatever. I've been through that. This is nothing like devastating literally nightmare nightmare.
Unknown Speaker 13:58
Prison prison wake up. That's exactly how it is. And that's why the Notes app has saved me but I like like it's only the beginning. Yeah, it really is only the beginning. Lord.
Unknown Speaker 14:10
Literally none of mine are funny. I have a whole notes like, like graph like with like different columns and stuff dedicated to my sushi order at my favorite sushi restaurant. Yeah, with all the good ones and the spicy ones and yeah, I'm like, not funny. And then I have like, everyone's like Dutch order in here.
Unknown Speaker 14:31
To Ileana is the most like, like, what's the word? Like thoughtful, like thoughtful person, like genuinely like you would like do something no one else has ever done just like something so minut and I'm like, Oh my God. She just like cares about stop so she literally like it's so. Oh, I love it. I do that. I do have like a lot of orders in my notes. I also okay, this is what I mainly use my notes for. I use it to draft
Unknown Speaker 15:00
texts. So like, I'll write into my notes and then copy and paste it, just because I don't know why I'm afraid, I think I'm afraid to actually send them. So I draft all the texts in my notes app. And then I copy and paste it and send it Do you have like a deathly fear of like misspelling a word, like when I misspell a word I've literally want to not be on. Literally I do. But that's, like probably dyslexic.
Unknown Speaker 15:25
It happens a lot.
Unknown Speaker 15:30
To be doing that, it's like so embarrassing to
Unknown Speaker 15:34
sound like I'm saying the right thing. Am I getting to the point?
Unknown Speaker 15:39
Literally, you know, I'm gonna say something crazy. I don't know if you guys agree. But I think I would let people go through my text before I let them go through my notes app. Really, I think my notes app has because I used to, like I journal with it sometimes. And like, I also write songs in it. And I just like kit, like, I think I would rather let sort of read all my texts I've ever set. And then I could not let them read my notes. Yeah, but nobody could ever read my text. Like I think I'd go to jail really for your for my tags residues. Yeah, I think it depends. But like, I lock a lot of the notes up so I don't want people to see so I think I'd be okay with people going through.
Unknown Speaker 16:20
Yeah, I have like my main diary one locked like from my first entry was from like, 2018 But everything else is like little segments and like things that just pop up and see the majority of what I use my notes at for is if I'm like literally like lying in bed and I don't want to get my journal out. I'll do like a quick little like couple sentence thing. And then I'll just let it be. But like most of the times when I actually take time to journal I'll like write it down physically in my journals. What's another one? Yeah, I mostly journaling more than using my notes app. Yeah, I love journaling. I like collecting journals
Unknown Speaker 16:56
No
Unknown Speaker 16:58
wait, no, I'm not even kidding. I think I do you guys are crazy. It's really bad if I lost my phone in my life, or like any of my passwords or anything if I did
Unknown Speaker 17:09
I'm scared one day like the Google things gonna work would automatically remembers your password and I'm gonna just
Unknown Speaker 17:15
go down
Unknown Speaker 17:19
I'm scared one day Google's gonna the firewall is gonna burn
Unknown Speaker 17:25
this whole podcast has made me realize I'm not like funny like, you guys
Unknown Speaker 17:33
know because like my notes app as
Unknown Speaker 17:37
well. So you guys, you guys, you guys should have your own. I have a couple more. I have a couple more like silly ones. But then I get like into the real stuff. During like the summer. I like first time I ever dyed my hair was blonde. I think the bleach got to like my head. Like, I went through like this crazy phase where I was just like texting so many people and I'm not proud of it. It was like kind of a lot. But I have this one notes called June slash July dogs. Every person I talked to me writing them me writing things that they said. And then I have
Unknown Speaker 18:14
to I have to say, Yeah, I want to know, okay, well, all of them, like 17
Unknown Speaker 18:20
but like only ones that I like actually like counted was like 10
Unknown Speaker 18:26
But I haven't honorable mentions, which is
Unknown Speaker 18:30
I have a friend and she has like I don't know if it's like a physical book or like on her notes, but it's called the Death Note and it's every every person she's been with and their side.
Unknown Speaker 18:42
It's like, that's actually need to make one for like the apartment and like but like not even like not like that. Have you seen? Have you seen those tiktoks of like meeting the girls when we get drafted?
Unknown Speaker 18:55
Like
Unknown Speaker 18:57
winning. I don't give an F word.
Unknown Speaker 19:01
No, we're not. We have a bazooka in our chest.
Unknown Speaker 19:06
We're, we're in the trenches. We got trench foot like we're down.
Unknown Speaker 19:11
We're in the trenches. 1000 Yard Stare. Oh my gosh.
Unknown Speaker 19:17
I'm literally I don't really have like that many more funny ones. The rest. Okay, let's get into the sad ones. Okay, um, I have this one titled, it's just like question mark. I always label like, what's the date and the exact time because whenever I see the time, I'm like, Oh, I was going through it. It's like 130 in the morning. Oh my god. I'm not gonna read the whole thing. It's so
Unknown Speaker 19:39
customer room. I see you. It's literally just labeled question mark. And I said, there's a person living in my head.
Unknown Speaker 19:48
I'm not gonna get into the rest of it because it's like sad.
Unknown Speaker 19:52
I mean, like, Was that supposed to be part of the
Unknown Speaker 19:57
rest of it, but I thought the first opening line that's good
Unknown Speaker 20:00
Did
Unknown Speaker 20:03
you get the idea? Really let it let it go? What do you what do you
Unknown Speaker 20:08
say let it reveal the beat?
Unknown Speaker 20:10
No
Unknown Speaker 20:14
I haven't really
Unknown Speaker 20:17
I haven't noticed I haven't noticed dedicated to like, all of okay, this is weird, but like all of my loss like trinkets, like, in my life and like, like by this I mean like, like I have like this, like things that I still think about from when I was like seven years old, I lost like a purple bracelet that my friend brought me from Hawaii. And I still think about it all the time. And I lost this like shirt that I bought when I went to Paris and like I have that in my list and like a cab that my friend brought me from New York and like a pin that my friend in Cuba gave me like it's like all my last trinkets and it makes me really sad because like they're gone forever. That's like a really smart thing to write about. But I think if I had a Notes app reminded me of all the things I lost, I would lose it like because I hold like value in little items so much. Yeah. Like the world in such a pretty way. Like you know, like it's like so sweet. There's something like so like, like, you're just like off like you just love like so much he just
Unknown Speaker 21:14
genuine soul. You stop guys. I'm gonna cry. You're not allergic. Do you guys have anything? Oh, I have a lot like me. I'm saying a lot of because I have so many notes. I was really excited for this episode. I'll be honest, I think there's just a lot I can't read. Yeah, but I do. What I do is I write letters or texts that I will never send. I have one I have one. It has no title. Like it's just going through. It just says I'm dreading the day it ceases to be teenage angst and it's just a angst. And like that just I don't know, like, when did I even write that? It was afterward? April 25. Yeah, I was just like really like thinking because it was like a couple of months after I turned 18. And I was just like, oh my god, this is like, I'm ending like that time where it's teenage anything like, so scared to turn 18 Because I loved being 17 Like that was like I think that's like prime 17 was the greatest year ever to have this one.
Unknown Speaker 22:14
And I don't know if it's worded well, it said this was like, I don't know what I was going through that made me like this. But I said, Did my mom ever get over the thoughts of envy that she inevitably feels for other woman? Because I think I was feeling like really envious or like really just something about, like other because you know, like, it's such a female thing to be like jealous of other people coming from most like, like, purest intentions. You're just jealous of other people. And I was like, I wonder if my mom still feels that way. Like the like the youthful like jealousy, you know? Yeah. Wow. That's like, yeah, that's like, deep to think about. Yeah, I was like, just my mom still feel like a teenager. Sometimes. I had a list about nut butter.
Unknown Speaker 22:54
I will say I think like mine. Well.
Unknown Speaker 23:01
Basically, wait, maybe I should just mention, I haven't fully set it. Guys. I'll dial like dive into it another week. But I'm going through the craziest worst heartbreak of my life.
Unknown Speaker 23:13
So that's why I might seem a little bit crazy nuts and sad. Crazy. But
Unknown Speaker 23:23
literally, I like all my notes is just like, I don't know. It's about like letting someone go. It's so crazy. Like, I think my notes app is my mind
Unknown Speaker 23:40
No, I wasn't even trying to make a point. It's just so crazy. Because like, I'm reading it to myself, because I can't say it on the podcast. But I'm reading into myself. And I'm like, dang, she really thought that yeah, I will say like some of the things that I've like, because a lot of them are locked. But I see like the little like, Intro whatever I wrote. And I'm like, like I get like a feeling of like a big pit of despair when I see it. I'm like, I'm not gonna open that Pandora's box of emotion.
Unknown Speaker 24:06
on record, the most pretentious, like pretentious list that I have on my notes app is a list of like words that I think like sound funny, or I want to incorporate into my vocabulary. Like that's like the most Capricorn thing I could possibly know. And it's like, it's like mirth. I don't know what that means. Hurry. I don't even know what that is. Or like funny words, marzipan. Relic.
Unknown Speaker 24:32
banal. banal jowls.
Unknown Speaker 24:36
aren't words
Unknown Speaker 24:38
are words, guys? Gosh. And, gosh, no, like it's spelled
Unknown Speaker 24:45
ch e like the gauche go. No, I think it's go Okay, stop. word there is a word like, that's a word. And then there's one word I can't even pronounce it. It's Oh EDIPAL Oh, dear Paul, stop. I'm just like
Unknown Speaker 25:00
So
Unknown Speaker 25:02
there's a common word I can't say and it starts it's about like from the cow I can't milk milk you can see milk
Unknown Speaker 25:12

Unknown Speaker 25:20
I really truly kiss him out
