Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It doesn't even need to necessarily be about there being someone else. It's just the feeling of going back to all the old. The feeling of something you left behind. Yeah, agreed.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. Funny. Funny. You should ask. I have two.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
One. I know you'll agree with me on the other. I know you will disagree with me on.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'm going to start on the one that I know you'll agree with me on down bad.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Did you really? The, the, Who has a mind to think like this? You know what I mean? Like, did you really beam me up in a cloud of spark? Beam me up in a cloud of sparkling dust just to do experiments on? Told me I was the chosen one.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, the feeling that she's comparing, like, love to, like, extraterrestrial abduction. No, you know I feel the same way. It's insanity. Do I, like, relate to it all that much? No. No, but, like, I'm going to appreciate the art.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I needed to hear that. That song is a work of art.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
She's never broken the fourth wall.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Um, I mean, I guess, like, by statistic, it would be So Long London, but I don't claim that as my Taylor Swift song of the year.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'm really trying to think what mine is.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, Fortnite's good. It never, like, hit me the way it hit you, though.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Um, I don't know that mine's, like, necessarily, like, from TTP.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I listened to Maroon so much this year.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Midnight's is my favorite Taylor Swift album, I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I really do. I don't know. It just like is so special to me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Well, my song of the year, I'll say. I'm not going to say We Can't Be Friends. Oh. Because that's yours.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
That is mine. It's ours, but, like, that's yours for right now, okay?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. So like let me just pause for a second. My album of the year is absolutely positively Eternal Sunshine.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
My song of the year is probably something from Maternal Sunshine, but for the sake of being a little different, honorable mention to Gracie Abrams. She, like, really shaped my year.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
She really shaped my year. You really listened the fuck out of her. I was on my Gracie train this year. Like, specifically, Let It Happen. It's, like, about a toxic relationship, and she's, like, talking about how, like, I don't know. It really moved me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
um also i was so shocked when this wasn't my number one song of 2024 messier by tate mccray that's like my favorite song of all time of all time of all time like i listen to it every day oh seeing that live was awesome yeah but the thing about seeing music in la is like you're always like embarrassed to yeah everyone's so judgmental it's not i just want to sing my heart out well your song of the year isn't well is it not imperfect for you
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I want to be held by her in a baby beaver.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I hope she brings that pony back.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, she did have her pony. She looked so good wearing Loewe.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We were shopping for Halloween costumes. Gagged.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Yeah, she did. Oh, my God, she did. Yeah. And I was like... She had her pony.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, that was, like, her real Ariana era.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Arguably, TV is as important, if not more important to you than music.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like movies, not as much. TV is like very important to you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I can't separate myself from things.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Do you want to tell everyone once again why you started watching?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Mm-hmm. But I, Hacks like. And that is the Hannah to my Marnie.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Right. You felt very attached to it. Yeah. It felt personal.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't think it came out this year, but I watched it this year. Daisy Jones and the Six.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Oh my God, was I clinical for that show.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I've never cried like that in my life.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
The last episode, I was in a puddle of tears. I was hyperventilating, like hyperventilating. I couldn't breathe, couldn't form words.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, when she, it's like the tape and like the daughter's like filming all of them and that was like the whole thing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And like, you remember back to the beginning when they're like, for however many years, like they've refused to talk about what happened until now and then you realize it's like the... You realize it's the what? The daughter, like, doing it as a project to, like, honor her mom. I have full body chills. I have chills on my face.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also, Stevie Nicks talked about how much she loved the show and how she's, like, begging them to do a season two.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Maybe it's, like, the two of them, like, reconnecting. Forgot about that. When she knocks on the door, right?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also, just, like, overall, like, what a cast.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, Suki Waterhouse. Obsessed. Camilla. Maroon. Maroon. Who looks like that? Seriously. I've never seen someone that looks like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Just everything about that show was really like it felt like super special to me. Also the music. Why was it so good?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like just the story was really great. I don't, I'm not like the big, like I know like the Fleetwood Mac hits. I'm not like a fan.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'd say somewhere in between. Yeah. Like closer than not. My meal of the year.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I think yours is probably going to be the same as mine. One time we went to Matsuhisa.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It was the best meal of my life. And we nailed an order down that changed the trajectory of our lives.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And you ask me every time and I send it to you every time.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. I think that's just because we're like annoying Americans and like we prefer things here.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. And like preservatives. Everything's so much more unhealthy here. Like that's why we like it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. Something we haven't spoken about, which just feels disturbing. And I'm going to say it as my honorable mention of the year. Brat. Because what a fun time to be named Julia.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
What a fun time to have a basic name and feel special.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
No, like, Brat is New York. Brat's not LA. Sorry.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, the tales of, like, Hollywood parties, like, that doesn't happen. Anymore. Or we're not invited.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It's not fun. Also, we are just miserable people, so we don't have fun, period.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yes. Because she is outrageous as a human. That's my video of the year. The video of her scaring her in Indianapolis. And she screams in bed when you're holding her.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
There's no one more funny. She's my everything.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
By the time this comes out, we'll probably be there.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, I feel like it's doing good things for you. No one's shaking his head aggressively.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I actually agree. You've almost been less angry.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I had a lot of fun on tour with you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Matt kept telling everyone, thank God for Joy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I was going to say our weekend in Vegas was so much fucking fun.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also, I don't know why, but like I prefer driving to Vegas over flying every single time.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I hate flying. Like I would rather spend the extra hours in a car than at an airport. Right. Like it's what's more fun than a road trip. But then we went to this rest stop. That was seriously like that could have been like a cruel and unusual punishment for me specifically. I've never been in such a disgusting place in my life. Like I was scared to set foot.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
The pictures of Peyton. Wait, I gotta find these. Hold on.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Anyways, you didn't ask me what my resolutions were. Oh. And my resolution is to have better posture because I look like a fucking hunchback at all times.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I didn't go to there. Here's you and Peyton in Vegas.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Peyton kept saying the chicken salad ruined her life. Talk about top 10.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, that was the worst meal I've ever had in my life. That was the worst meal I've ever had in my entire life. The chicken looked like a marshmallow.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Worst, worst, worst sign of a meal is when you don't get to order. The food's just brought out. So you have no control over the situation. Yeah. Oh, we were at a sushi restaurant like chicken salad. We thought, oh, like, you know, like a nice salad. Chicken salad that was as white as that envelope.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Seriously, I feel sick. I feel sick. I feel sick. I feel so sick. It ruined my life. I feel so sick. Our friend group has like really like weird things with chicken and like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
That chicken solidified my worst nightmare.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I feel, like, so hungry that, like, my insides have, like, bubbles in it from the poppy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'm so happy I'm not high right now because I could, like, eat my own hand right now. I'm so hungry.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You need to take your phone off do not disturb.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You need, it's literally the, like, having to, and also it's, like, offensive. Like, put my calls through.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also, like, I'm not pinned in Jake's phone. It's really weird. No, it's weird. Like, I honestly think about unpinning you all the time, like, just to, like, spite you. But it's like I talk to you more than I talk to most. So, like, why would I not have you pinned?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
No, you have all pins filled and not one of them is me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Put my calls through. Do you know how annoying it is every time I have to call you to call you twice?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
What else did we do this year?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
That was the best thing that happened to me in 2024. Seriously.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We just got to play this in the camera. Like, I know everyone's already seen it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You know, he thought it looked so cool. He literally looked like he was getting shocked with the electric thing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
He's the funniest person ever, like, besides you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also, like, we get super angry at him for, like, having a lot of friends. And I think it's a projection because we have no friends.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We had to teach Jake that one time.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It's true, Nolan. A friend to all is a friend to none.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You can't be loyal to everyone.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Jake used to be friends with everyone. A friend to all is a friend to none.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't know. What are you looking for? I'm really looking forward to Miami.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I would like to go skiing this year. Should we do that?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'd love to do that. I feel like it'd be really fun.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I feel like we should do a weekend getaway somewhere.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't look forward to things.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. My birthday is what's like, I think my birthday is going to be so fun.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You better have a good attitude.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Dry January triggers me so much. Seriously, don't even bring it up in front of me. That is my birth month and it's so offensive. Why do you try to be dry in January?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, but that's when I was born. Okay, like, it's so frustrating to me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Every year. But then it was really fun after we graduated. And then it was, like, just okay this past year. I didn't really do anything extravagant.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We just, like, it was chill birthday. We didn't really do anything.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
But this year, it's my 25th on a Friday. Like, God's setting me up.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, Ken's coming back. The whole week. She's coming for a whole week.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, ruined. Like, you know how I keep saying, like, we don't really have that many friends. It's because we lost one.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'd like to be more, I'd have, I'd like to have a bigger presence in New York in 2025. Me too. Um, I feel my roots pulling me back that way. Um, not permanently, but more frequently.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, I'd like to even like have an apartment there and like be back and forth.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, I don't want to leave here, but like, I'd like to like be there more.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And like, LA's just like not fun. Like everything closes and it's like.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
She's too good. What else? I'm trying to think of like fun memories the two of us had.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Have you ever met Cass? Yeah, duh, of course.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Oh, yeah. What was our biggest fight?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. I'm thinking. I really.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. Tell yours. Because, like, things are just leaving my mind right now.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Oh, yeah. You're crazy. I know. You're so crazy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It's weird. Like, all you want is a boyfriend.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Right, like you need someone that's going to pull you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Sorry, I didn't mean that rudely.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't know which side we would be. I don't know if we would be the ones talking shit or overhearing the shit talking.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
No, I don't speak another language. Actually, neither do you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
For so long. I can't speak a word.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Why does that happen? And I feel like it's common. Why are they failing us?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. I would have the friend who's like vaguely speaking Spanish like butt into the conversation.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Like gagged. Like you gagged them. I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
If not, continue to hear what they say.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Maybe, why don't you text some people back right now?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Right. Okay. I could help you if you need. Just let me know.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'm all for you having a boyfriend.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I mean, wow, would our lives be shooken up.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Do you like think about it often?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
So we should do something about it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
It needs to be someone that you don't mind like listening to.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Let's not head into the new year lying.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like I. You don't like listening to other people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, I don't know why we're like talking like this is news to us. It's okay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. You like to talk about yourself.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Love. That's actually what our friendship is built on. The foundation of our friendship is gossip. Speaking of which, my birthday is coming up, everyone. Reminder, because if I don't get birthday texts, I'm going to be super upset.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I know, and you know what? They're out. Birthday texts are out.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Because we're too old. If you don't know it's someone's birthday, you're not texting them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And as much as I want to believe that everyone knows it's my birthday, not everyone knows.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Well, that's why people don't know it's your birthday anymore. Yeah. Don't get any ideas.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I feel that so strongly. And, like, I know that it's not what you want to hear. But, like, if there's a pattern going on in your life...
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Was it good? I mean, but yes.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Lindsay Lohan on this podcast would...
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Why do I just know you guys would be best friends?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We actually talk about Lindsay Lohan so much.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
That is seriously the best thing. That's the best tell me what's wrong ever. I have a question. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I've never been kicked in the vagina.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
But I can imagine a 100-foot water slide and a foot going into my vagina would hurt. That definitely wouldn't feel pleasant.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
My vagina, because I went down a 100-foot water slide. That would, like, happen to Peyton. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And she'd be like, wait, it's so fine.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like go to the hospital. I mean, I'm assuming you did because you found out you broke your vagina.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
The olive oil story changed our society.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
This sounds like my worst nightmare.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
When I was eight, I went on a family road trip with my mom, my grandma, and my grandpa. I had to pee really bad, so we stopped off at a gas station. When I was peeing, I felt a sharp pain in my butt. Turns out it was a bee underneath the toilet seat and it had stung me in the ass crack. I ran out yelling and screaming to anyone that would listen.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I ran up to my mom and she laughed at me and told me there was nothing she could do about it except put ice in it. She went to the gas station to get snacks and made me wait outside. I was sitting on the curb outside the gas station when I started feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. My throat was closing up. Choking, I went to my grandma and told her. I said I couldn't breathe.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
She said I was being overdramatic and it was fine. It wasn't fine. I was having a severe allergic reaction to the bee sting in my ass crack. I had no knowledge of this bee allergy prior. Then I collapsed onto the floor and my mom ran out and called an ambulance. Literally on the verge of death, I was rushed to the hospital.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
When we got there, I had to sit in the ER waiting room since there was no space. Choking, dying, fading in and out of consciousness from this stupid bee sting.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Since this bee sting in my butthole. My mom had stayed with me in the ambulance and left my grandma and grandpa to the hospital. My mom then got a call. I started panicking and projectile vomiting onto everyone in the ER next to me, all over the chairs, all over the floor. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
My mom left me there to go to the crash by myself, eight years old, sobbing, vomiting, just had an allergic reaction and people were disgusted, covered in my vomit. The nurses, worst night of my life. I now hate bees and have a hatred of bees. My grandma and grandpa recovered only for my grandma to die two weeks after that by slipping and falling down the stairs. I hate my life.

Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
In 2024, where I learned how lucky I am that I'm surrounded by people who genuinely make me laugh so much. Right. Because life is not as fun without laughter. It's miserable. And I think that our friends, particularly you and I, find our way out of a lot of things by laughing. Right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, most things. We find our way out of by laughing. Some people don't resonate.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And I've found myself in situations where I laugh and they don't, and it's, like, a bit awkward. But I'm really lucky that, like, for the most part, like, everyone I surround myself with likes to laugh with me. And I feel really lucky.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You know what we say to Jake? And keep this in.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We tell him, Jake would rather be in a cold, bare room with nothing but a strong air conditioning and a couch.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And Wi-Fi. And a fully charged phone. Than be on like a beautiful, luxurious vacation. Surrounded by all those he loves. Nope, he'd rather be alone in the room that's cold with Wi-Fi and a phone charger.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We could still have fun every once in a while.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I honestly really don't like weed. It never hits for me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Because ew, what is the meat? Ew.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Who's on my side, pizza or fast food?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
What, were you having a fun night? No. The opposite.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, I hope that like somehow in 2025 we can like not have this issue every fucking day.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Okay. Do you want to make it or get it?
Therapuss with Jake Shane

Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
The other day, the house was so cold, and Peyton was like, Jesus Christ, like, Brett and Jake may as well just move to fucking Antarctica if they want to be that cold all the time. We do. He said, I'm uncomfortable.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I woke up with a serious stomach problem. Really? Yeah, like, I was tossing and turning in my sleep. I thought it was a dream. And I woke up and my stomach was like in knots.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
And I got prescribed this other sleep medication called Trosodone. Yeah, I stopped taking that one really quickly.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah, I have them in my bathroom.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, first of all, I looked it up after I had my bad experience. And, like, people were like, sleep paralysis 101.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, everyone gets sleep paralysis from it and, like, really weird dreams. I woke up with a headache that could have, like.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yes. My head, I took it because I was having a bad night. I was like, God help me. I got to go to bed.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. I woke up with the worst.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I haven't left the house all week. I, like, have probably gotten no more than 300 steps the entire week. Like, I have a permanent imprint on the couch this week. I would like to. My boss is out of town, so I've been working from home. And, like, I have not gotten up once.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. I'm honestly down for that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
We could see what kind of soup Toscana is offering today.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay. I would like Toscana. Okay. Quick 180 there.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I haven't been since I went with you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Oh, see, I was going to say salmon sounds so good.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
No, I don't have socks on. Jan Perther got me socks that said, you are perfect on them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yap. Okay, so should we go for our end of year stuff?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Okay, so why don't we start with favorite movie?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like, I can't... I was wrapping my head around, like, trying to think of something else that, like, would just be, like, a little more different and, like... Of the time, but my favorite movie was Wicked. Like I can't, I can't separate myself from the art.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Right. It could be like your favorite thing you saw.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
This couch is way more comfy. Right. So that's good for your guests because that blue couch was... That blue couch was despicable. Horrible. I mean, I tried to put it on the front, but... No, it was so bad.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You like like really disturbing stuff too.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I only watched the end with you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'll tell you why I loved Wicked so much. Not only has Ariana Grande, like, shaped my year in so many ways.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
To watch her, like, take that role on, like, for her to have the ability to be Ariana Grande and then she's on the screen and you're like, that's not Ariana Grande, is, like, so powerful. Yeah, she's very good at that. You know what I mean? No, like, it was just, like, she committed herself to the role, like, so beautifully.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You can't see Taylor Swift anywhere. She could be in a role and be like, that's not Taylor Swift. You know what I mean? Ariana Grande is the same. She's so recognizable as who she is in real life. The fact that by 30 minutes into the movie, I wasn't saying, oh, that's Ariana Grande. I was saying, that's Glinda. That's pretty crazy. No, she did a really good job with the role.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
She's incredible. She doesn't get nominated for an Oscar. I'll be really upset.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Right. But I also... But will she be nominated as supporting? Supporting. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I mean... Should we stop that? When me and Jake watched that movie together, like, when she was in the sky... Oh, maybe that was my favorite movie I saw this year. Seriously, like, we looked at each other like this.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Also like for us to sit through something that long and be that gagged is insane.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. Favorite surprise song.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Mine was the mashup. I feel sick even saying this. I know you're going to say the mashup of you're losing me and, um, and how did it end? Okay. Are you fucking kidding me?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
That was ridiculous of her. Like I felt like super upset. Like those two bridges are like two of the most emotional bridges ever. Like I was sick.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Evermore. Wasn't this year. I mean, she did it again, but it didn't hit the same.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Like you showed me Marjorie. Like you were like, let's sit down and listen to Marjorie. Like really, let's listen to it in 2020.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
You know, they say that Evermore is the Capricorn of all of her albums.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't know. That's just like what people say.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I don't know. I saw it somewhere.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I saw a TikTok that was like, Here's every Taylor Swift album as a astrological sign, and mine was Evermore, so just thought it was relevant.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yours was obviously Reputation.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
No, it's more straightforward. It's a little more straightforward. She's just saying it how it is. Which is beautiful in its own way.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
But Evermore is like... Evermore, I was able... It's the twisted sister.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
I'm trying to think what my favorite song of Evermore is.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 50: 2024 Favorites with Julia Mervis
Yeah. I think my favorite off of Evermore is Evermore.
