792.551 - 814.675 Unknown

And I'm like, the neighbors know your name? What's going on? So he goes and answers the door, whatever, whatever. I hear some voices. I'm like, what's going on? So long story short, he has a kid. It was his baby mother at the door, and she was dropping the kid off. And I think she suspected that somebody was over here. That's why she did that. I don't know, but...

815.313 - 828.646 Unknown

He left the kid in the living room, put on his show, I guess. And I was just like, what's going on? Like, you know, this would be okay if I was previously having a child, but I was not. And he just felt like, oh, he was like, oh, I just put on his show. Like, he's good. Like, we can keep going, you know.

829.186 - 843.16 Unknown

So basically he wanted to continue hooking up while Mook Mook was in the living room watching Cocomelon. Like, I'm not doing that, love. I'm not doing it. So he was banished and never spoke to him again. Like, that was crazy.

Okay, and I will say as a girl who is, you know, dating cis het men like that, I do care about that part.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about dating experiences in college?

1880.171 - 1891.365 Maya Umemoto Gorman

Write this down for advice. I would say send me the movie ticket. Next time, ask for the movie ticket and next time ask what you're seeing. Don't let them surprise you with that bullshit.

0

1891.385 - 1910.828 Dom Roberts

But that's what's really crazy is like why do we have to do that? Like why would I presume... It's the jungle out there. Like, even if it was like your, I'm genuinely like flabbergasted because I'm like, even if it was your friend, like imagine if I literally was like, Hey guys, come over for dinner. And y'all got there and I had ingredients late. How nice. Can y'all make some shit?

0

1911.449 - 1934.638 Dom Roberts

Are you fucking kidding me? And that must've, y'all must've, y'all must've been smoking that donkey Kong or something because I can only choose to believe that he hit that loud and like got confused and Like, he, like, hit the bong and was like, are you making the chicken or what? Why the fuck are you high as shit making fried chicken?

0

1934.658 - 1950.278 Dom Roberts

I can only assume he accidentally got one of them key fucking pre-rolls, like, had the wax on that shit and hit the blunt so many times that he literally was like, wait, we're at your house, right? And you're making the chicken. Because outside of that, there's genuinely no logical explanation.

0

1950.298 - 1977.092 Maya Umemoto Gorman

First off, if you're high. right let's let's let's put on the let's put on the the filter of being high okay you're the filter of being high i can't even hear fucking nothing bitch i can barely put some shit in the microwave so how the fuck am i going to actually it's just like absurd like it's like so you fried chicken like no thigh girl

1978.287 - 1979.109 Dom Roberts

You have to make that a skit. That is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my whole entire life. He had you fried chicken. Like he had a bean bag in front of him. And honestly, girl, shout out that you knew, A, how to make fried chicken.

1992.301 - 2001.738 Dom Roberts

Yeah, because mama, I would have been like, baby, I guess we ain't eating. No, and like. We are, I don't know how to make fried chicken. Why would you think that I can make fried chicken? Quit.

2001.758 - 2014.116 Maya Umemoto Gorman

2255.695 - 2271.819 Dom Roberts

Hey guys, we want to take a break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, Rocket Money. Rocket Money made it way too easy to see where my money was sneaking away. And for me, it was subscriptions. As y'all know, I didn't realize how many random little monthly charges I had stacking up. Rocket Money flagged them, helped me cancel the ones I wasn't using.

0

2271.899 - 2285.179 Dom Roberts

And suddenly I'm not wasting money on stuff I forgot I even signed up for. I also love that it builds a custom budget for you based on your actual spending. And it takes the guesswork and stress out of trying to organize everything yourself. It just feels like you have way more control over your money.

0

2285.159 - 2304.086 Maya Umemoto Gorman

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills so you can grow your savings. One thing I love about Rocket Money is that it automatically categorizes your transactions across all your accounts, and you can customize categories and tags so you actually understand your spending habits.

0

2304.427 - 2307.471 Maya Umemoto Gorman

It makes it easier to spot patterns and stay organized.

2307.451 - 2324.24 Dom Roberts

You can also set budgets and saving goals, and Rocket Money gives you personalized insights and regular reports so you know exactly where you stand. Plus, you get real-time alerts for large purchases, upcoming bills, refunds, and low balances, which makes staying on top of your finances feel way less stressful.

2333.32 - 2351.835 Maya Umemoto Gorman

Hey guys, we want to take a break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, AG1. Motivation comes and goes, but habits, habits show up even when you don't feel like it. AG1 is the easiest habit that you can start now to support consistency even when motivation isn't perfect, especially in February when January motivation dips and winter routines need a reset.

2351.815 - 2369.338 Dom Roberts

Most supplements overcomplicate things with tons of pills and confusing timing. It's an impossible schedule to maintain long-term. AG1 simplifies your nutrition, multivitamin, pre and probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants all in one scoop. And it's an easy daily reset that brings foundational nutrition no matter what your schedule throws at you.

Chapter 8: What closing thoughts do the hosts have about relationships and dating?

2657.573 - 2677.236 Maya Umemoto Gorman

Real. And I was like, oh, yeah, like, I'm nervous. Like, no. And she was, like, hiding in the corner with the camera. Like, not she didn't record him, obviously. But, like, recording me on the date was there the whole time. And, like, dead ass. Then we had, like, a post-game interview. Love. And he was obviously fucking chopped, screwed, and, like...

0

2678.853 - 2687.25 Maya Umemoto Gorman

But I'm just like, damn, I was like, so like the way I would never in a trillion. That's like some Molly. I don't know that girl's name.

0

2687.27 - 2691.518 Dom Roberts

Oh, my God. Yeah. What do you think about the girls? You'd be like going on dates and they come back and they say everything on TikTok.

0

2692.621 - 2711.782 Maya Umemoto Gorman

For real. I mean, here's the thing, though. This is the shit that gets me. It's like that the Lulu shit where like. I feel like the dating content and stuff is like, you know, it's really, I feel like, you know, when you're single, it's like encouraging sometimes to like see people's like journey and stuff.

0

2711.802 - 2726.374 Maya Umemoto Gorman

But I think like when some people like unload the clip in such a way where like, oh, what's her fucking name? Molly something. I don't know. I was watching her shit for a second. I was a hate watcher. Then I was kind of like a watcher watcher. And now I just am like, whatever.

2726.895 - 2748.244 Maya Umemoto Gorman

But she's like the Lululemon for real in the sense where she'll be like, okay, well, so he said this and like he did this and like, I don't know. So like, maybe I think that like, and I'm just like focused on how I feel like the dating content that resonates with me the most is when people are like on the date, these things happen, but this is how I left feeling. You know what I mean?

2748.264 - 2769.564 Maya Umemoto Gorman

Because I'm like, when you're like analyzing what they did, I don't feel, I'm just like, it's a little too like meta. Especially when you're still actively dating them. Like, I don't know. My friend Kenzie did like a dating series where she talked about like, she did like, she was doing like 10 dates in like 30 days or something like that.

2769.584 - 2787.043 Maya Umemoto Gorman

And like, she ended up meeting her like, girl, they about to lock it down. Nasty with a Gucci outfit. But like, I feel like she was more so focused on like, it just wasn't a good fit for me because X, Y, Z, or like it was this, but it was this. And like, actually I'm seeing this person again because you know what I mean? Like I, I, I actually, I don't mind it. I actually really enjoy it.

2787.063 - 2789.606 Maya Umemoto Gorman

And I usually do watch every video that comes across.
