So I think it was a lover's tiff, to say the least, where person on fire smashed in the car as like a fuck you, lit it on fire, and then was like, you made me do this. Because the boyfriend kept yelling over him, baby, why did you do this? I told you not to do this. What have you done? Oh.

Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
The neighbors were like, we have no idea who these people are. I think they just pulled up. Then we got back in the car, cried a lot, gathered ourselves and went to the concert. A lot of adrenaline.

It was very healing. You have to laugh at the absurdity of here's a guy with his dick out on my Saturday night.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
The thing that kept coming to my mind was like, we've got to cover him, like the decency of it. But meanwhile, he's got third degree burns. That is not his priority.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I did put it in the submission because I thought you might be curious. He had legitimately the largest dick I've ever seen.

Of course. I feel so grateful to be able to talk to you guys right now. Three quick little shout outs. Is that OK? Yes, of course. Jess and Alexa are two of my good friends who are also huge armcherries and every week talking about what the episode was, what our takeaways are. So shout out, Jess, Alexa. I love you guys.

The other one, Dax, specifically for you, I just wanted to say thank you because my family has been touched by addiction a lot and it's not always in our the media as much or in people's forefront of their minds about recovery and the life after. I think it's really important to show how much after recovery you still have to keep working at it. And it's a lifelong battle.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
It's not just you recover and then you're good.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
Yeah, exactly. My cousin is fully recovered and now runs a recovery clinic. So it's been really amazing to see his journey and see yours as well. And then for me personally, I actually went through an eating disorder recovery a couple years ago. And during mealtime, every time is obviously a struggle. So I would put you guys on and have a moment to laugh or cry or learn something.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
And I got through it bite by bite with you. So thank you so much for that. Thank you.

I think it's so important because I think everyone has some type of warped relationship with food. And it's not something that I am embarrassed about at all. I think it's so important to talk about. So again, I just really feel grateful to you guys for helping me on that journey.

I have a first responder story that takes place here in LA. And the reason I moved out here is because my boyfriend and I were doing long distance between LA and New York for three years. He will feature heavily in this story. This story takes place August of 2024. I am not a trained first responder. My boyfriend is not a first responder.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
We stumbled into becoming first responders for an emergency. I'm not an adrenaline junkie in the way that I want to step in. I shut down.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
Absolutely not. So last summer, my cousin, who is a musician, was having a choir concert with his group downtown, and my boyfriend and I decided to go. I work sometimes from downtown LA, so I'm familiar with downtown proper, but not all of the neighborhoods. So this was somewhere that I'd never visited before.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
We are driving around looking for parking, and you guys know how horrific parking in LA can be. This is more of a residential area, though. We can't find anything. We're turning down all these side streets. We finally are on a side street that looks promising. So we're going kind of slowly along to try to see whether there's any spots. I'm driving. My boyfriend's in the passenger seat.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

There's a nice silver BMW. And its front window and back windows are smashed in. And there's little licks of flame on the front hood.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
And then notice there's two men near the car on the side of the road. One standing, shouting over the other one who is now rolling on the ground. And I'm clocking. Clothes are on the ground. Fire is now on the lawn. Oh, no. And I don't know at this point if this is a hate crime, if there's an attack. This is happening within like 0.5 seconds. We notice, okay, this man is on fire.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
My boyfriend, who was an emergency responder in college, but still goes back into full hero mode. I shut down. So he gets out of the car. He's like, call 911. I'm going to go assess the situation. The man who was standing over is kind of standing to the side. There's gasoline. And the man who was rolling on the ground has now stood up. Two things I clock immediately. He is fully naked.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
And covered basically in third degree burns. Oh. Oh my God.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
There's still little embers on the lawn. I now get a hold of the police. I'm trying to tell them where I am because I'm not familiar with the neighborhood. I look over. The man, who is fully nude, is now stumbling to my car, trying to get into the back seat to have me take him to the hospital.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

No unhoused, no clue on drugs. Okay. The guy is trying to get into my car. I'm like, hey, thank you so much, please. Thank you.

I'm still on the phone. They now cross the street. His person follows him. My person follows him. They're now all going around the corner and down the street. So they're out of sight. The paramedics finally come. At this point, the lawn is still going. The fire has now completely engulfed the car. Oh, the entire hood has melted off. It's a huge fire. All of the neighbors now are coming out.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
We realized they were watching and filming from the inside, but no one did anything, which I was really angry about at first because I was like, how are you watching someone in an emergency, but also I recognize my privilege in that when I call the police, I feel safe. Not everyone feels that and everyone has their own reactions. So I think that's important to say.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I am now watching the police try to get this car under control, try to get the neighbors to give some context and calling my boyfriend because I have no idea where he is.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: First Responder
Why did he leave? I've got a choir show. It turns out this entire time while I'm calling him, he's on the phone with the police. My boyfriend is now trying to have him stay in one place. He keeps running because he, in his state of mind, is saying, I just need to get to the hospital, not realizing we brought the hospital to you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Not a ghost story. When I was graduating college, I wanted to do something fun summer after. And my professor reached out and was like, I'm going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro over the summer. And I was like, oh, seems like a great opportunity. Something I would never do. Honestly, I love a shower at night, love to sleep in my bed, like not a camping girl.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
But for some reason, I was like, this is great. This is exactly what I need. I'd taken some classes with her. She was great. And she was like, I'm taking students from my last institution. We get there and she was like, oh, one more thing. After we hike the next day, I really like to go and get a massage. I was like, oh, that's awesome. I can get on board with a massage.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
We climbed the mountain. Honestly, the climb itself wasn't awful.

Seven days up, two days down. So nine in total. Yuck. No wonder you get a massage after.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

No, you're in a tent. I don't know why I wanted to do this. I would never do it again. I mean, I had a great experience.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
The whole nine yards. When we were at camp, they would set up these little tent porta potties. But if you had to go on the hikes during the day, you just had to find like a rock.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
You wipe with the rock? I brought toilet paper. Good for you. There's no way. But a lot of people really struggled with altitude. And so their stomachs were super messed up and they were just having to find rocks and stuff. And the higher you get, the less rocks.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
there are so less things to really hide behind and it was really more of just like a distance thing whenever you had to go i'm not doing this so that was interesting but the hike itself was great but the whole time i was really looking forward to the massage like at night when i was cold in my tent i was like this is gonna be worth it i'm gonna get this massage at the end yeah
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Or like when my shoulders or my feet were hurting, I was like massage at the end. So we finish and the next day I wake up and I was like, today is the day. They didn't have one big place for everyone to go. So they dropped us off around Tanzania to get these massages in pairs of two. And so I get dropped off in the strip mall with the girl that I shared a tent with.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
It looks spa-like on the inside. They did tell me not to expect a massage like I would get here, which I was like, that's fair. I am here for the experience. I do enjoy traveling. Whatever is going on there, I'm good for. So I get into the room. and I wait for the lady to leave, and she doesn't. And I was like, okay, cool. And she just starts undressing me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Oh, wow. This is interesting, but again, going with it. And I turn around, and she's like, get on the table, face down, and it's just a table.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was wearing leggings, so I wasn't wearing anything under the leggings. I was expecting some coverage, so there was just nothing there. Just on a table. Oh. Also, yeah, not comfy. So cold. Oh, okay. Oh my God. I'm laying face down and I'm kind of taking in the room as she's getting things ready. And I'm looking at the walls because the lights didn't turn off either. It's like bright lights.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
There was no real relaxing, no like music playing. Surgery room. And I'm noticing oil all over the walls.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
As I'm thinking, this is so weird. I hear like splurt and then all over my back, there's oil.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
whatever you're thinking triple it and that's probably how much and so i'm lying on my stomach and she's massaging my back and i'm trying to like really enjoy it i'm kind of relaxing by the time we're done with being on my stomach and she's like flip over i flip over and i'm alarmed at how naked i am the lights are all on and we make eye contact and she looks at my boobs and she goes how old are you
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was like 22 and she was like, little girl, I don't have big boobs.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Yeah, she grabbed them. She said very flat chested. Oh my. I'm trying to recover from that. And she's like massaging my shoulders. She finds her way back to my boobs and just continues there for like 10 or 15 minutes. She likes that part. Maybe she thinks she'll make them bigger.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I was just kind of going with it. I was like, this is going to be funny when I meet up with my friend that I share this tent with. And I was like, we're going to laugh about this because I bet she's getting the same treatment. This is how it is here. And I was like, this is really uncomfortable for me. personally, but we're not going to say anything. I don't want to offend this nice lady.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
So, I mean, she's like playing with my nipples, the whole nine yards. She kept making eye contact with me every time I opened my eyes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
It became a lot. And so she continues to move down my body. And I realize she's going down there. Finally said something. I was like, we're going to get her. And she was pretty good. I felt bad. She's like, well, where would you like to spend this extra time? I was like, I guess my feet really hurt. I was like, I'm going to get anything out of this.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
My feet were hurting that whole nine days on that mountain. So I'm going to need a little extra love there.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I think she was going for happy ending.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
At the time, that was where my mind was. I was just so confused. It went from, I'm just going to let this slide on my boobs. So like, this is a really weird situation. It went from this is cultural to now it's not. Yeah, this is an erotic massage. Fuck. So he finishes up on my feet. She did a great job down there.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
We're wrapping things up and she's like, would you like to go to the shower with me? And I was like, although my body is covered in all of this oil, I'm good. We're done. So I go to try to dress and she again wants to dress me. The leggings and the oil, it was the longest.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
No, but she didn't know about this place.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
I thought the boot part was normal. Honestly, I was just like, this is so weird. We're going to laugh about this. I was just really trying to make this a funny situation, I guess. I don't know. I didn't want to think about it too hard. She finally dresses me. I used to wear like all these friendship bracelets. She's trying to get those back on.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
And I finally said, let me just put them in my pocket. So we get done and I'm in the lobby and I pay. I meet up with my friend and I was like, wow, that was like a really weird massage. And she's like, what are you talking about? I was like, did they touch you? And she was like, touch me? Yeah, it was a massage. I was like, did they play with your boobs? She was like, no. Oh, no.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Wait, she's like, I think that lady was trying to give you a happy ending massage. And I was like, oh, that was the first time that it clicked.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Wild Card VII
Especially because they gave me the warning. I was just like, oh, this is just what they do. Because everything else besides not having like a blanket or anything was a very regular massage. A lot of extra oil, but just a regular massage. Right.

But what was very cool was they were not stick skinny waifs the way we were taught we had to be to be successful dancers back then. They're strong and gorgeous and their strength was really inspiring. And so after the hot tubbing, I was like, well, maybe... I don't want to fall back into diet culture, even though it is very seductive.
Nobody's Listening, Right?

So maybe it's also part of keeping the magic alive for everyone. Yeah.

I don't really want to get into restricting and all of this stuff. But what I think might be great for me and a mindset shift and something I've never really pursued is seriously building strength, lifting weights.

165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And eating more protein and doing the whole thing.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, it was better when you were like doing stuff about it. But lately I have noticed and I swear to God, it's not an aesthetic thing. I think you were very sexy. And, you know, when what you saw, I genuinely in the hot tub was admiring you.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
This is more because I know what, like, this kind of old man posture where your head's forward. And, of course, it's like that. You're at your computer all day. Like, this is how you operate. Basically, I know from my back stuff, it's like top down. It's going to fuck up your knees. It's going to fuck up your back. And it's just... Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Nobody's Listening, Right?

I'm working on me. I am working on me. A couple things I want to do. One is I want to... I've been feeling a little like, I'm going to be real real. I've been feeling, I guess it's depression, but I'm like taking my depression medication, but I'm feeling a little like not wanting to do anything. Yeah. Not wanting, you know, when I see my friends, it's really fun and it's great.

165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
When I go to Pilates, it's great. But, like, just lacking motivation in general. Yeah. Lacking all creative motivation, actually, until very recently. Now I actually just got a spark back, which is very exciting. But I want to, like, learn new things. And one of the things that I am going to do, you know we have a chip on our bathtub, right?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I'm going to take it upon myself and watch YouTube videos.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And it might lead to me reno-ing our bathroom. But I need something to be excited about.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
What I want is to take a class that's closer by that's a weekly class where that's my time, kind of. And I have someone telling me what the fuck to do because oil painting is kind of complicated. Got it. It's also very messy. We don't really have a place for an easel. I just want it to be something that I do in a class, which is fine.
Nobody's Listening, Right?

Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And you know it's working. And truly, no joke, my skin, when I put this on at night, I wake up feeling more moisturized. It gives me a little pep in my stomach.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
The data is in. This stuff works. It's amazing. I'm not surprised. It was founded by an all-women team of scientists with PhDs in skin regeneration, stem cell biology, and bioinformatics. Now, if that doesn't scream they know their stuff, I don't know what does. So on top of their incredible skincare products, they now have a new product which is OS1 Hair.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And if anyone else out there like me is maybe experiencing some hair loss and wants some fuller, thicker, more luxurious hair, I highly recommend you check this out. It's OS1 Hair. And it's a daily scalp serum that tackles the same zombie cells that their skin products do, where it basically, there are these little jerk cells, okay, who are taking their buzz kills at the party.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And this peptide gets rid of them. So the party can keep on going. Another thing I love about this company is everything is backed up. You can go on their website and find all of the studies they've done. Find the science that is backing it all up, which I love because there's so much confusing stuff out there.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And neither of us use them because we're home 24 hours a day and we're trying to be smarter financially. And it was literally painful every month paying our leases, knowing that neither of them were getting used whatsoever. And we looked into me turning in my lease a year early and it was like going to be many, many, many thousands of dollars. Yeah, it was like eight grand or something.
Nobody's Listening, Right?

Yeah. If so, it is a cult. I was pulled into it in my early 20s. I did all their programs and finally stopped going when they asked me to sign a contract that my soul would live. What? Hang on. At a Jupiter tree. Juniper. Juniper. Sorry, forgive me. A juniper tree at their compound in Arizona after I pass the classes. I knew it was a cult, but it took this weird contract for me to finally run.

This dumb bitch, I slapped her and then I fucked her and kicked her out of the car.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Wow, very cool. But I haven't... Thank you for telling us that. You let curse words live in your car? By the way, the other day when we were shopping... I think I texted you this.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
We were, I forget where we were. I guess we were in.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I'm so annoyed. We were in Uniqlo, I think, and I said something about, like, I need to get a T-shirt.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And Otis goes, that's a buttload of t-shirts. And I said, did you just say buttload? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, oh, you know, I was smiling because it was funny to me, but I was like, you might not want to throw around buttload, bud.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And I hope he... He has such a fine-tuned sense of humor.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yes, his timing is impeccable. Okay, we're in spring break.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I know it doesn't. But, you know, we have some big plans for summer that we're trying to... Mm-hmm.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats

Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Think about now. Okay. Now that we're parents and it was probably at these ages.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Like, all right, kids, we're going to pack up the minivan and drive for two days straight.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, of course. You were the kid. I loved it, too. But-
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, what made it road trip culture for you? I mean, we did – I would oftentimes ride down with the Cotezas with, like, Kendall. Or we'd kind of car hop as we went. So that was really fun, like, being in the car with your friends. And we were in the, like, backseat of a minivan and had –
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Crafts that we were doing and doing games out the window of license plates and doing the alphabet and make-believe stuff. No tablets, obviously, no phones. So it was just playing Paul Abdul and eating tons of junk food. Yeah.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And I said, oh my God, that is the place. Holy shit. And then she said, seriously, run. They are evil. Do not go back. They tell you it's Tai Chi, but it's all bullshit. It's some weird exercise of their own invention. Which I did think it was weird. Remember how I talked about how I had her move her hands off of her son's private area?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, even that I also have to say as a parent, I'm like, so you drive for two days. You're listening to, you know, kids. I have to go to the bathroom. Can I have some da-da-da? Then we get to the hotel. It's like, let's go to the arcade. I mean, it just sounds not fun.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Oh, I'd be into that. Okay. Yeah. It's a, it's an eight hour drive.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
So that would be fun. Did you ever get in trouble on spring break?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, I think that you went... I went to like... We would go to Destin. Destin is our destiny. And it would be a lot of families from St. Louis. This is when I was like 13, 14. But yeah, we'd go out on the beach and like drink and smoke and...
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yeah. So in Destin, when I think I was 14 and there were like, you know, you ran into your friend on the beach. That's where I ran into like a friend of a friend was there with my friend Catherine, who I had met for the first time during this trip. And Catherine came to my mom's Oscar party that she had every year. Usually it fell on spring break. And my mom was talking to her.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I was like, I've never come across that. And I mean, it's not like I've done real deep Tai Chi dives.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
She had moved to St. Louis from Tupelo, Mississippi at the same year we had moved from San Francisco. And it turns out her mom was one of my mom's best friends in high school in Florida. And they bought a house that, like, my parents had looked at in St. Louis. So we're in Destin. This random little girl comes to my mom's party with my other friend.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And it turns out—and then my mom—I mean, I could cry. My mom and Brenda, her mom— rekindled their best friendship and remained best friends until my mom died.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Destiny and Dustin. And like they would go on trips together my senior year when my dad wasn't living there because he was commuting. And my mom was kind of like on a cruise. She was gone a lot that year while Brenda was with her. They would travel a lot and had a grand old time and loved each other very much. And Catherine and I became really close until kind of
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
We went to different high schools and kind of just went our separate ways. But I have so much love in my heart for her, and that was very magical. And also, my mom found a six-pack of Zima in my closet. And I definitely threw some other kids under the bus. And was like, oh, they wanted me. I didn't even know what it was. They wanted me to hang on to it to take it down to the beach later. Nice.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
But you mostly just see people standing up and kind of moving really slowly and stuff. And I thought that was weird.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yes. And then I also got fingered for the first time on the sandy beaches of Destin, which I would not recommend getting fingered where there's sand. Right.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, luckily, I mean, the sand in Destin, it's a double-edged sword because it's fine. It's that fine, white, beautiful sand.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, it is to, like, lay on, but it's hard to get out of places. I mean, it's... And it was so awkward, like so, God, all the fumbling first sexual experiences. Ugh.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I'm so excited to chat with you for an hour as though no one's listening.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I wanted a man who knew what he was doing.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, I'm not. B. Yeah. How have I never heard about B. I don't know.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
He was a year or two years older than me.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, of course he is. We were all like, he was probably 15. I mean, we were just babies.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I'm not going to say any more things about any of this.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yes, yes. He's a great guy, you know, really nice.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
This is weird to me. It kind of breaks my heart a little bit that you kept in touch with some other f***ing piece of s***. Nobody's listening, right? Hi, Andy.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Stop it. Wait, what were you saying before? I feel like I had something. I also got the sickest I have been from food poisoning or stomach in dust. Not during that experience, but in dustin.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I might have also had, like, sun poisoning.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
But my mom was so good at taking care of me when I was sick. But I remember we had this condo, and it had, like, spiral metal stairs up to kind of a loft area, which is where I was sleeping. And luckily, there was a bathroom up there. But that was the only time in my life where it was, like, both ends were going. Yeah. And I needed accommodations to deal with that.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I'll do that. I'll do that. I think I found some that are like at a park. Which is more my speed anyway. But this is really interesting because today at Pilates, I got a butt pat from my favorite teacher. And I was so happy. This is not your first butt pat. Is this your second butt pat? No, no, this is my second. The first one, I didn't know how to feel about it.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, just like a wastebasket, basically.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
You were so sick you went to the hospital.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Oh, God, you poor little thing. Yeah, I think a ham sandwich from a truck stop is a 50-50 chance that you're going to the hospital.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Processed ham is generally considered more dangerous than mayonnaise from a health perspective.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Oh, wait, this is just for your body. Yeah, yeah.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Processed ham is generally considered more dangerous than mayo in terms of food poisoning risk. Processed ham, what if we're changing, I mean, your whole family, you should alert them. It wasn't the mayo. Processed ham can be a source of harmful bacteria like listeria.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
While commercially produced mayo is acidified, which helps prevent bacterial growth.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Wait, you mean at a deli where they're slicing it?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Once you open that ham hock, the plastic, you got the timer starts and you have seven days.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
You probably want the ones that are more full.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
But now all I know is it's a badge of honor. And I love this teacher. And to get the butt pat feels great.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, it's, I think a meat that has like bits of olive in it.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Do you not like them? Like, I thought you were maybe coming around to them recently.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
By the way, you asked if I ever went on a real spring break. I mean, first of all, my entire sophomore year of college was spring break because I went to UC Santa Barbara.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Partying nonstop. My parents, you know, were dropping like flies. One dead, the other dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But so I was in this weird thing because my parents' house was in Pasadena. So I was like going back and forth between Pasadena and Santa Barbara. When my mom was sick, I was in Pasadena more going back. And then I'd go back to Santa Barbara and like do ecstasy and party. Yeah, yeah.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I feel like we're kind of free-balling today.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And I was going to class and stuff. Did you do a Cancun Cozumel type thing? Went to Cabo.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
My sophomore. I guess that was my sophomore year. I don't know. Oh, maybe it was my junior year, which was my last year of college. Because guess who I met there? In Cabo San Lucas, probably at like Senior Frogs or Senior whoever party.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
um the young man from baton rouge oh right yeah you constantly yeah you say because that's where we met and hooked up he had never seen a thong before he was like blown away that i was wearing a thong and then you're just rocking a thong on the beach No, no, no. Like when we were... Oh, like thong underwear. Yes. Got it. And then we made plans for him to come.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Now, this guy, I have to say, endured me going like, oh, my mom had just died. And I was still very much in the like, my mom just died phase of things. I'm sure I told him that in Cabo. And then... Kept in contact with me somehow going, oh, by the way, my dad also just died. Still was planning to come out and visit me. I mean, I guess that thong really made an impression. He wanted to be.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
With some little bitches who can't handle it.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And he came out and he's the one driving home from the airport. He said, Lizzie, you're the best female driver I've ever seen. Amen.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Oh, I was dating someone new. I was dating a guy I didn't even really like that much. But at the time, I thought I did. And he was moving in with me. And I was like, don't come because I'm with someone. We're dating seriously. He still came. And he still thought we would maybe hook up.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, you're doing Pilates. It's on a reformer.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
But were you in a relationship? This is confusing to me because when you left for Idaho, you left St. Louis, was when I had the biggest crush on you. We signed each other's yearbooks like you're frosty soulmate. I was so into you.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I know you weren't into me like that back then.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And I had, so it's on this machine. My foot is in a strap that's connected to the other side of the machine. And you're doing like the leg up. So it's a butt burner. It's a butt burner. And she was kind of straightening my hips because what you want to do is lean to the side that you're working, which feels unnatural.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I don't know. This is weird to me that we're 21 years in to this.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
You left Idaho, I thought, outside of your guy friends, you were like, you know, all done, like finished. Mm-hmm. It kind of breaks my heart a little bit that you kept in touch with some other fucking piece of shit bitch.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And your mom was like, sure, she can come visit. Did she stay with you?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And she came to visit you? I think so. Okay. Who?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Are you serious? Yeah. St. Louis. She's a financial advisor. Really?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
saying it's a man but it might just be all financial advisors are referred to as he him in st louis okay are any of these women no she no did you and her hook up i think we like made out you did yeah you didn't have a girlfriend
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And you want to straighten your hips out. And she was helping guide them.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
While I'm doing the back and forth, back and forth.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And then, sure enough, at the end, it's like when she's moving on, she gave my butt a little do-do.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
That is not true, but I want to circle back to that. First of all, is anyone listening?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
What do you want? Some sort of crazy spank?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yes. Bye-bye. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
There was a good job in it. I promise you. How dare you?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Really cool. I mean, she's a cool chick. She's like young and hip and she always has cool nails.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, I was so happy. Anyway, that happened.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
It's just interesting how vibes are everything. And that's my new life motto. Okay, question. Vibes are everything because at the Tai Chi place, now granted it was my kid. Yeah.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, but it is interesting. Like, this woman laid her hands on me in a way that maybe some would deem inappropriate.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, no, no. And she knows, like, I've been going to her class for years. You know, we have a rapport.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Please. I think of all the asses there, mine is the least... Worthy of staring, but she like, you know, she knows me. She got she gets a sense of my personality. But in the Tai Chi place, let's take the the kid part out of it. She also had her hands on me long before she laid hands. I had bad vibes.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
And so I was already like, my defenses were up and I was like, I'm uncomfortable. And like going through the mental gymnastics of like, at what point do I say something? Like, you know, how do I get out of doing all of that stuff? Whereas this case, it was just like, yes, I shook today in class.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I do think it was afterwards. It's not like she did the good job, Pat.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Is he like very blatantly gay? no ambiguous no you not for you no and i think not yeah no and i'm sure that sort of thing happens all the time but the holding the hips he could probably a male teacher could do that to you if done the right way right yeah i think male teachers need to know what the boundaries are pretty clearly like there might be some you know you see in like
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
White Lotus-y situations where all the women are wanting that from the hot young male yoga teacher.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
We went hot tubbing. We just like got in the hot tub.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Okay, I think I'm wrong. But when someone says we went hot tubbing, I imagine there are multiple hot tubs.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yeah, I guess I've never thought about it. But speaking of, most hot tubs are gross. I won't get into a public... And your sister's is vile.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
No, hers is incredible. And I know they keep it right and tight, but like my friend got a full body rash once. Do you remember this when we were living in New York?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
She went away and like it stayed with her and they couldn't figure out what was going on. And it was from the hot tub.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
I mean, I think you can get a staph infection from hot tubs.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
It's the staphylococcus bacteria that gets into your bloodstream and creates a horrific infection.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
It's also like how, you know, they like things hot.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Oh, this is my worst nightmare, by the way. You know, I've put on a few pounds recently. Have you noticed?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
That's because you see me every day, probably.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Nothing crazy, but I'm 5'4", so a few pounds feels different. My clothes feel different. And this is the first time I put on a swimsuit in a while.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, that's probably why. I mean, I think women do take a lot longer to look at themselves. And I have to say, like a day at Disney, no one's looking their best. You better get those pictures early. And I don't know, the only days I've had at Disney, if I were to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, it would tank my mood.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
To the degree that I was like not even wanting to get out and sit out even though I was baking. When we were done tubbing, my face was like a tomato red. Like I think I overheated. Oh, that was it. Yeah, you were making... And it's because I... I felt insecure to like sit out, which is so stupid. I'm with my family. Like no one cares.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
But it was more just me not feeling good in my skin, which I, it bums me out. Am I ever going to just like love myself? And I don't think so.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, I don't know. You've known me for 21 years. I think there have been pockets of time where I've either really done the work and I'm feeling comfortable in my skin. But by and large, it's been a frustrating process.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
It's always changing. You know, after kids, it changes. Now perimenopause or whatever, getting older, going through back surgery, all this stuff changes a lot. And I want to just accept it and love it. But it's very hard for me.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Yes. Oh, my gosh. But you are bravely facing a wall of mirrors.
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, speaking of, this is interesting, because was it before this or after?
Nobody's Listening, Right?
165 - Body Issues And Butt Pats
Well, I hope that what I just shared with you, that I was basically willing to boil myself cooked because of the insecurities of my body. My sister, while we were there, showed me some dancers, and it was very cool because basically it was watching these routines of these dancers and being like, dancers are so much better than when we were competitively dancing.

The Charlie Kirk Show
Ask Charlie Anything 214: Picking Campus Visits? Vegas Shooting Truth? 2025's Most Crucial Election?
I'm all right. Actually, I'm very upset because long story short, my father died in a nursing home during COVID in April of 2020. And When it first happened, we assumed that like everyone else, oh, a nurse had gotten COVID and it spread throughout. We didn't find out until months later that Andrew Cuomo literally and deliberately put COVID positive patients into nursing homes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Ask Charlie Anything 214: Picking Campus Visits? Vegas Shooting Truth? 2025's Most Crucial Election?
And I want people to understand every single person with a family member in a nursing home got a phone call on March 9th saying we are shutting down the nursing homes for their safety and you cannot come see your family. So they locked me out. Because I may or may not have COVID. And then 15 days later, they deliberately put COVID positive patients in the nursing homes.

He was told, if you do this, thousands of people will die. How is this man still politically viable and running for the mayor of New York City?
The Charlie Kirk Show
Ask Charlie Anything 214: Picking Campus Visits? Vegas Shooting Truth? 2025's Most Crucial Election?
And so they got him out on me, too, instead of the mass murder, because Murphy is Governor Murphy and Governor Wolf in Pennsylvania, both did the exact same thing he did. But if they got Cuomo out on it, they would have had to taken out the other governors on this. So did Whitmer up in Michigan. So like four governors did this.

How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
So some quick context. I have a daughter who is nine, and then I have a son who's 11. And my husband loves our kids in the best way that he knows how, but he lacks the tools to know how to really connect with them kind of on a deep level. And since fathers are the examples for their daughters of how a woman should be treated...
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I want to address an issue now so that she won't settle in the future for less than she deserves. So my question is, how can I help my husband and my daughter build a better, more trusting, stronger relationship?
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I was just going to say there's definitely like an urgency in my heart to address this now because she's halfway to adulthood. So I'm sensing that urgency now.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I guess there is just not a lot of connection or intentional interaction with them. And I say them, this question is about my daughter, but it kind of applies to both of them.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Yep, that or he goes to the garage and, you know, does his thing in the garage for a while. It's just, yeah, it's like there's no, there's not really any intentional interaction. And then, like, you know, he, if he comes home from work and they're not in the room that he's in, you know, he doesn't, like, go seek them out. He doesn't go find them.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I mean, it may be two or three hours that they're home. or that he's home, I'm sorry, before he has any interaction with them. Like there's just not a ton of intentionality there. Now when they do interact, you know, it's for the most part, it's good. It's, it's normal, but you can just, it's pleasant. Most of the time it's pleasant. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I don't. I mean, I don't think so. Maybe. I don't. Maybe. No, I mean, okay, so... this is my perspective and I realized that there's two sides to this story, but he has a lot, I can tell. And I know for a fact, he has a lot of internal struggles with his own like self-worth and, you know, depression. He, he hasn't been diagnosed with anything, but it's pretty obvious.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Um, he's very like moody and irritable most of the time, or at least, you know, at least half the time. And so I guess I've, I've, assumed that the disappearing is like his way of coping. You know what I mean? Like he doesn't have to interact. He doesn't have to interact. Then he can't be asked questions or can't be burdened with anything. That's sort of how I have interpreted what's happening.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I don't know how to properly answer that. Just vomit.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Oh, boy. I would say there's definitely a lack of emotional security. I just... Yeah, I kind of, he seems like a ticking time bomb. Not that an explosion would be anything like, you know, he's not abusive or anything like that, but his moods are very unsettling to me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Yeah. Yeah. Kind of. Yeah. His is not, he doesn't scream, but he is very, um, like very harsh, very critical in his tone. And it's, he, he treats, I gotta back that up a little bit. The way, the way that he speaks to me and the way that I see him speak to our kids makes me feel very much like a burden or an inconvenience. Um, he's just very quick to be irritable, very quick to be, um,
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Not judgmental, but just, I don't know, just very like irritated. Very, yeah, but dismissive in a way that's like, oh, you know, like I, he was, yeah.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
I know. And I have worried that that's been part of my thing.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Yeah. Yeah. I think I would agree.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
He did, yeah. Yeah, pretty bad.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Right. Right. And I can, that's what I'm sensing.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Right. Yeah. Yeah. I totally agree with that.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
Yeah. Okay. So I guess then my question would be, so I have in the past, and it's been a long time because he was so dismissive of it, but I have in the past said, based off of your childhood, you have a lot of things you need to tackle, you need to address. And And he does not think that he has a problem. He does not see the issue.
The Dr. John Delony Show
How Do I Tell My Wife to Get off Her Phone?
So do you have any thoughts or suggestions then on how I can bring it up to him again in a way that maybe he'll understand?

Sarah. Hi, how are you doing today?
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Okay, so my question is, I went straight to culinary school from high school back in 2003. Thank you. My mom took out a loan for me because I was 17. Okay. The original loan was $30,000. We agreed to split it 50-50. Soon as I graduated, I was giving her... Money every month. I was staying with her because I didn't have the money, but I was giving her money every month.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
I eventually realized that she was not paying on the student loan at all. When I found out, she apologized and she said that she would start paying. I continued to give her money every month. As you can imagine, I wasn't making very much money at that time. And I then again discovered she was not applying any of that money towards the student loan.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Yeah. So I'm not sure exactly because I wasn't counting, but I do know that I gave her, when we talked, I gave her at least $5,000.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
I was giving her cash. I was giving her $200 every month towards that.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Every month towards that. Well, I was making minimum wage. I was working. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Is your name on the loan or your mom's name? Yeah.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Only my mom. It's a parent plus loan. So the reason why I know now all this information is because recently she came to me and she brought up this loan because after a while I just stopped giving her money. How long has it been? So, 2003. Oh, girl. Wow. Okay. So, recently, she brought up this loan, and she asked me for a lump sum of money. She asked me for about $20,000.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
I'm like, I don't have that kind of money. I can't give you that. And we didn't agree. I've been giving you money, blah, blah. Long story short, I looked into the loan. She owes over $70,000 on it.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
It's $70,000 and some change. And now she's making me feel like... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The Ramsey Show

OK, so directly to the if I if I give it directly to the place, will they now want my information?

The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Hi, Jade and John. My question is, does it make sense to accept a gift of $1 million from my in-laws to purchase a house? And I can dive into some more context.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
My husband and I are in our late 20s. Our income is $194,000 per year. We have no debt. And we would like to start a family in a couple of years. I would anticipate our income dropping down to $120,000 if I reduced my hours to take care of a baby. If the gift didn't exist, we would just keep renting and saving for five more years while my husband finishes a PhD.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
And then we would move somewhere more affordable because we really don't ever anticipate being able to buy a house in Santa Cruz, California. However, yeah, my in-laws offered to give us this $1 million as a gift specifically to buy a house here in Santa Cruz. And that money is coming from my husband's deceased grandmother's trust.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
I guess I'm just concerned that a $1 million house in our financial context is just a little out of proportion. And it really would be nearly 100% of our net worth. Even though it's just a normal house, like a three bedroom, nothing too crazy. It's just that it's Santa Cruz.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
It is theirs, and it would be a gift.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
To be honest, I'm not sure the full amount, but I think it's less than a fifth.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
I am intimidated. Just imagining our net worth increase. like ballooning and exploding like that overnight filled me with some anxiety. Um, I would just want to take care of that money very well. And can I ask, can I ask you where that anxiety comes from?
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
Maybe. Maybe a little bit of the feeling is ill-gotten gain somehow.
The Ramsey Show
The Hardest Decisions Are Often About Money & Relationships
He I think he's also a little bit anxious about being able to maintain and take care of a one million dollar house on on our income.
The Ramsey Show

Okay. I'm feeling better about it already.

Childhood came from a family of divorced parents. Thrust it very quickly into a different setting with my stepfather. Money was always tight growing up. Just not having enough money. Didn't have much, did you? No, no, no. Very strict upbringing. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

Uh, me personally, I have about $24,000 in total debt, uh, about 2,500 in credit cards, 7,000 is in purchase finances, uh, four to 5,000 in student loan. And then the rest is personal loans.

They went through a firm. A firm? Yes. Oh, that's like buy now, pay later. It's one of those buy now, pay later. Yes, correct. Like Karna and stuff like that. Can you sell those? Probably more than likely so. That ain't my world.
