In the last episode, we discussed how sometimes I can be a little bit of a hater.
Okay? And I say a little bit of a hater because unlike most haters, I don't seem like a hater.
I don't spread hatred. I don't put people down. In fact, I tend to do the complete opposite.
I'm very supportive and kind and non-judgmental and loving.
To the naked eye, I'm a bundle of love.
But in private, I can be a little bit of a hater, okay?
And I've always sort of been that way.
Like, I've always found, weirdly, a sense of joy in novelty in hating on things.
I've always sort of loved gossip. There's
just something about me that enjoys hatred. It kind of reminds me of my relationship to
nicotine. For whatever reason, I just like nicotine. Some people I know couldn't care
less about it. They smoke a vape, smoke a cigarette, whatever,
and they just never get hooked, and they just never like it,
and nicotine never works for them,
and they just never get addicted,
and it just never happens.
I'm the opposite.
For whatever reason, I've always loved it, okay?
Does it ultimately impact me negatively?
Yes, because having nicotine in my system
makes me anxious and paranoid,
and it makes me dissociate.
It has a bunch of negative effects.
But in the short term, I love it.
I absolutely love it.
The way that it releases chemicals in my brain,
I just absolutely love it.
And I'm prone to being addicted to it.
I feel the same way about being a hater.
Like there's just something about me that enjoys it.
And again, like it could be much worse, right?
There are people who are haters,
chronic haters who spread hate
and who have a negative impact on the world.
And I really don't think that I am that.
I think I'm really good at controlling it
and keeping it contained.
My hater only really comes out within the privacy
of my own mind and my closest friends and family.
I keep it really close to the chest.
So me being a hater isn't like a worldly problem, okay?
I'm not hurting people.
I mean, maybe occasionally something gets out.
Like, I don't know, but like for the most part,
it's really just something that impacts me.
I am the one who is ultimately being harmed by this.
In the moment, it feels fun.
I love, you know, listening to a new album that just came out, right?
Like a musical artist drops an album.
I love listening to it and fucking hating on it.
There's something fun about that.
Again, in private, but there's something fun about it.
I love when someone slightly wrongs me
and they just become my fucking enemy in private.
This person is just now my enemy.
There's something about that that I find fun.
However, it's fully against my morals and values.
Being a hater is fully against my morals and values.
I do not think it's okay.
I know it's bad.
It just happens to be something that I am particularly prone to, which means I have to pay extra attention to the side of my brain
that can quickly fall into a hater sort of rhythm.
Because I feel like our true colors and our weaknesses come out in challenging times. Right? And so for me,
when everything is good in my life, it's easy for me to not be a hater. I don't really have
to check in on it. I'm just not a hater. But when some challenges arise, sometimes I start
to become a little bit of a hater again.
I'm constantly keeping this side of myself in check, right?
And recently I discovered that I had fallen back
into my hater mentality.
I just have slowly but surely gotten back to a point
where I just seem to hate everything.
And for me, being a hater doesn't necessarily mean hating
on people all the time, right? I mean, there's definitely certain people that end up getting caught up in my phase
of hatred, but it's like everything.
It's not just big things or specific people.
It's everything.
I just become a hater.
I see everything through a hateful lens,
significant and insignificant.
So I had an idea, an idea to help retrain my brain,
hopefully.
Is it gonna work?
I don't know.
But here's my idea.
Maybe I could find some value
in doing a little exercise every once in a while.
A little exercise that consists of finding things that I hate unfairly, unnecessarily,
irrationally, and then finding something nice to say about that thing in an attempt to sort
of help to retrain my thought patterns.
Is it going to work?
Maybe, maybe not, but I thought it'd be a fun activity. helped to retrain my thought patterns. Is it gonna work?
Maybe, maybe not, but I thought it'd be a fun activity.
Now, listen, I feel like this activity only really works
or makes sense when trying to find the positive
in something that truly does not deserve to be hated.
Because there are certain things
that actually deserve to be hated, right?
Like violence, injustice, hypocrisy.
You know what I mean?
Like there are things that do deserve to be hated.
I'm not going to try to find the positive in those things today.
I think it's valid and rational to hate those things.
I'm talking about like the things that I hate that like, it's a waste of my
energy to hate these things.
I don't know.
This might be pointless.
Okay. I will see. We'll see at the end of this if it had a positive impact on my brain or not.
And if it had a positive impact, then you can steal this exercise and do it when you're being
a hater. Okay. Let's begin. This episode is brought to you by Uber One. Going back to life

I hate purses that are too small to fit your phone. I see one of these at a store or being carried
by a beautiful, beautiful person,
and I feel my skin start to get a little bit hot.
I really struggle to not be overwhelmed
by how ridiculous the concept of a mini little purse is.
It drives me nuts.
Okay, the whole point of a bag is that you bring it with you to carry your stuff.
Now, it's the 21st century baby, and you know what we all have all the time?
Cell phones. If you're carrying a little bag that can't even fit your phone, what the fuck is it there
for?
And I'm seeing these designer brands come out with these teeny tiny little mini bags
and it doesn't even hold a phone.
What the fuck is going on. Now, I don't want to see any of you go back and find a photo of
me carrying a super mini bag, okay? Because if I've ever carried a super mini bag, it
was against my will, okay? I was going to an event with a brand and they were like,
hey, can you carry this bag? I was like, is there one that's bigger? And the answer was no.
That is the only time.
I can't even remember if I've ever carried like a little mini bag that doesn't hold.
I know I have.
I know I have because it was a huge trend and it's still a huge trend.
And so I've definitely to an event or something had to carry a really mini bag because that's what product the brand
wanted me to be holding when photos were being taken. There are sometimes moments when this
type of stuff happens. I can guarantee that every single time I've ever had to carry a
super mini bag, I've also had another bag that was actually holding my stuff and it was being held, you
know, off camera or whatever.
I just think it's ridiculous, okay?
And it's a huge pet peeve of mine and it drives me crazy.
And I would go as far as to say that I hate mini purses.
Hate.
But now that I've let that out, let's try to find something nice to say.
For one, I do love mini things.
I actually do.
You know, whenever I see a little video on YouTube Shorts, although I'm trying not to
watch YouTube Shorts as much anymore, but when I see a little video on YouTube Shorts
of one of those mini kitchen cooking videos, if you don't know what I'm talking about, someone has this little mini kitchen, okay?
That they like light little candles
underneath the like little stove
and they have like little water tanks or something.
Like I don't even know how it all works,
but they have all these mini little things
that power this mini little kitchen
and they cook little meals in this little kitchen
with their big fingers are in there, cooking in this mini little kitchen and I cook little meals in this little kitchen with their big fingers are
in there cooking in this mini little kitchen and I'm obsessed. I love that. Okay. When
I was a kid, my favorite toy was any sort of mini doll, Polly Pocket, mini doll houses
with mini little beds and mini little closets with mini little clothes and mini little pillows. I love mini, okay? I am one of those people who finds joy in a
mini thing. I think things that are mini are cuter than things that are normal size. In
fact, I was at this little trendy gift shop in Eagle Rock, a very trendy shopping area in Los Angeles. And I
made my way into the kids section and I stumbled across this little brand that makes these
little like matchboxes, cigar boxes, little functional boxes filled with little mini mice in little outfits.
And I bought two of them.
Okay.
I bought this little cigar box that has like a little mini bed inside with two
little mini mice in pajamas.
I bought this other little box that has, um, open it, and then there's a little tiny mouse
that has a little tiny surfboard, okay?
And you can strap its little feet into the surfboard
and lean it against the box and it sort of stands up.
I bought that for my dad.
I don't even know if he's gonna want it,
but I bought it for him because he's a surfer.
Is he even gonna like that?
I don't know, but I thought it was too cute.
I had to buy it because it's mini and it's so cute.
Okay, I love mini things and a mini purse is technically a mini thing.
So in that way, I actually do think it's cute.
Okay, function aside, I think mini bags are kind of cute. Another thing that I think is kind of nice about the mini bag
is that it can be a bit humorous. It can be sort of a conversation starter. When you're
carrying this tiny little mini bag, it is a bit ridiculous. Everyone knows that you
can't put anything in there. And so there's actually something sort of camp about that.
Like, I'm literally carrying this little bag around and nothing fits in it. I can't put anything in there. And so there's actually something sort of camp about that. Like, I'm literally carrying this little bag around
and nothing fits in it.
I can, at max, fit like a vape and a lipstick in there.
There's something kind of funny about that,
which I think could be sort of
a beautiful conversation starter.
I actually fuck with that.
I love humor and fashion.
And last but not least, maybe there are some nights
when you don't want to bring your phone
and you just want to bring a little lipstick
and a little vape.
And that's when you bring the mini bag out.
You know, maybe there is a function for some people.
For me, I never feel safe leaving the house
without my phone.
But if you do, and that's how you disconnect sometimes,
and bringing the mini bag forces you to leave the phone
at home and disconnect.
You know what, that's beautiful.
I hope that there's someone out there where that happens.
I really hope so.
Oh, you know, also I think it could be kind of fun
to clip a mini bag onto a larger bag.
That could kind of look cool or be kind of funny.
In fact, I've actually sort of done that.
I'm now remembering an event that I went to where they were like, hey, can you bring this
tiny little mini bag?
And I was like, yes, but only if I can bring the exact same bag in a larger size as well.
So I'm holding both at once.
And they were like, sure.
And I thought it was like, I don't know, silly.
Okay, so see, there's something positive about a mini little bag.
Let's move on to mushrooms.
I despise mushrooms, okay, for two main reasons.
Number one, the texture.
Bouncy, chewy, gummy, light, weird, what the fuck?
Mushrooms in my mouth, it's wrong, it feels wrong.
If there's something about how like light and bouncy it is,
it's just, it's so unnerving to me.
So that's number one.
Number two, I hate the way a mushroom looks.
Flip that thing over, see those little lines,
those little fibers underneath the top of the mushroom?
Disgusting. There's something about that texture,
just the way it looks. Disgusting.
I think that I'm particularly hateful towards mushrooms because I grew up a vegetarian and
at every single restaurant, it feels like the vegetarian option contains mushrooms.
And it makes sense really because mushrooms are
sort of a meaty kind of vegetable.
You know, they have like an umami sort of flavor.
They're less vegetal, more umami,
which is more reminiscent of say meat, right?
They're hearty in some ways.
I don't even really know,
because I've never eaten them,
but I've heard that they're sort of heartier.
And you know, restaurants love to just grill up
a portobello mushroom and put it in between two buns
and call it a veggie burger.
I mean, you know, restaurants just love to do that.
And so I guess maybe for me,
the hatred stems from just like a pure dislike,
combined with constantly having it be my main option.
Less so now, I feel like when I was growing up,
mushroom was sort of the main meat alternative,
but food technology has advanced
to things far more palatable.
There are a lot of fake meats on the market these days.
And so restaurants aren't really relying
as much on mushrooms.
But like in the early 2000s,
there was mushrooms everywhere.
It was like, get out of my face.
But now I have to say something nice about them.
Well, for starters, I will say that mushrooms
are really cute, okay?
If I'm like walking through the forest, which happens
sometimes and I see a mushroom, I'm delighted. Like when I'm looking at a mushroom from the
top and I can't see the creepy fibers that are underneath, mushrooms are super cute.
And they also remind me of being a child and being obsessed with fairies, who of course live in the forest and live under mushrooms.
I don't know, I see a mushroom and I think,
maybe there's a little fairy living in that mushroom.
And that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
So in that way, I love mushrooms.
Actually, I even have some outdoor decor
that are mushrooms. I have these sort of stone
mushrooms in my backyard and I love them. I think that they're precious. And when it comes to
mushrooms being a food, I actually kind of love the way mushrooms smell. Like, if I'm walking past
a restaurant that's cooking mushrooms or a house that's cooking mushrooms,
I know that smell and it's delightful.
It is a delightful smell.
Honestly, I think the smell of cooking mushrooms
is one of my favorite, like savory smells.
It's kind of unbelievable.
So you know what?
Maybe mushrooms aren't so bad after all,
but I am not going to eat them ever.
Okay, moving on.
I hate neon colors.
I just hate them.
I think that they're hideous.
There's not much to say about it, right?
I just don't like neon colors.
I think that 99 out of 100 times neon colors are hideous
and I don't wanna look at them.
Clothes, cars, like plants.
Like I'm never gonna choose an item that's neon.
I'm always going to choose the non-neon option, okay?
If I'm buying clothes, I'm almost never gonna buy
something that's neon, probably never.
I have nothing in my closet right now that's neon.
If I'm picking
out the color for a car, let's say I wanted to get something weird, right? Like let's
say I was going to go get my car wrapped, full LA style, like get a wrap. I'm never
going to choose a neon color. Okay. If I'm landscaping my garden, I'm never going to choose flowers that bloom neon. I hate neon. However, there is one occasion when
I think neon colors are unmatched, and that is in highlighter pens. Can you imagine if highlighter
pens weren't neon? It would just be wrong. It wouldn't highlight. It wouldn't serve a purpose. When
it comes to highlighting things on a page, there is nothing better for that than a neon
color. I feel like my slight affection for neon colors in this application, okay, in
pen form on paper, my affection for the highlighter pen comes from when I was in high school.
And sometimes for tests, we'd be able to make a little note card that had like, I don't
know, let's say it was a math test. We were allowed to write down like formulas or notes
that would help us on the test, but they had to fit on a tiny little note card. So you
only had that space. And I would spend literally hours and hours and hours
writing teeny tiny little notes
so that I could fit every single note
that I made the entire semester
onto that little tiny note card.
And in order to clarify when a note started and ended
or whatever, in order to help make the little note card
more readable, of course, I had to use a highlighter pen.
And it absolutely made the little study card
10 times more readable and effective.
And I don't know, I loved having highlighters at school.
I would go through them very quickly.
I loved them.
So maybe I don't hate neon colors after all.
Next.
I have a tendency to hate people who have rejected me.
And I know.
That's normal.
Being rejected doesn't feel good.
And I think it stings the most not because this person is no longer going to be in our lives anymore
because they've rejected us, but because them rejecting us proves our suspicion about ourselves
that we suck.
And that sucks.
Do you know what I mean?
Like that's, I think, what the worst part about rejection is.
And so if you're in a place in your life
where you kind of hate yourself,
and then someone rejects you and confirms that suspicion,
it's hard not to hate that person
because that's a very negative experience.
And so when I'm at a low point and I'm in hater mode,
I really hate people who reject me.
But you know what?
There are some beautiful things
that come from being rejected.
Number one, sometimes someone rejecting you
removes someone from your life
that wasn't really supposed to be in your life anyway.
You don't want people in your life
who don't wanna be in your life.
So if someone rejects you and then exits your life, they kind of did you a favor in a way.
And now you can focus your energy on finding people who do want to be in your life.
And that's a positive thing.
I also think sometimes rejection can force you to analyze yourself, your shortcomings,
and ultimately grow as a result.
I think that's beautiful.
I think that's beautiful.
And you know, in retrospect,
when I look at all the times I've been rejected
in one way or another, I have no sort of regrets.
Not that it was up to me.
Usually we regret our own choices,
but in a way you can sort of regret being rejected
because you can regret maybe what you did to get rejected
or you can regret not working harder
to prevent getting rejected.
I don't feel that at all.
There is not one instance in my life
where I've been rejected and it hasn't ended up
being exactly what was supposed to happen.
It always sort of seems meant to be, at least in my experience.
Maybe I'm lucky, but yeah.
So I don't need to hate those who have rejected me.
Even though it was a bit maybe of a hit to the ego, I think it all is actually ultimately
positive in the end.
Next, I hate loud persistent noises.
When I'm cooking in the kitchen and I have to turn the fan on because whatever I'm cooking
is like creating a lot of smoke or whatever, probably because I'm burning it, probably
because I'm not that good of a cook.
I'm not that bad, but I'm not that good either. The sound of the kitchen fan being on, wow.
Wow, I fucking hate that.
When you're on the airplane and it's super loud on the airplane,
it's like making that rumbling sound.
Loud persistent noises, I absolutely hate.
But you know what?
When I reflect on all of the times that I have to hear loud persistent
noises, it's always worth it.
With the kitchen fan, I enjoy cooking.
I really love cooking.
And I don't like smoking up my kitchen and breathing in all the cooking fumes.
And once I'm done cooking, I can turn it off.
It's kind of loud and chaotic for a bit while it's on.
But then when it's time to eat, it's off and the food is delicious and everything is good.
And I ultimately was happy to have cooked myself a meal.
Okay, when I'm on the airplane, it's loud, it's persistent, but it's a privilege and
a joy to travel.
And I'm always grateful to do that.
Which actually leads me to the next thing I hate,
which is flying on planes.
I totally developed a fear of flying
and it has truly caused me to form a hatred for air travel.
I hate everything about the experience.
I'm so scared.
Every little bit of turbulence,
every little sound that the plane makes, everything causes
me immense anxiety and I just fucking hate the experience.
I hate the loud, you know, the loud noises.
I hate, ugh, I just, there's not really anything I like about it.
I don't like watching movies.
So like, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, well, I love flying on a plane because
it's the time when I get to catch up on movies.
I hate movies.
There's nothing about it that I like.
The food sucks.
There's nothing about it that I like.
Even if I was a billionaire, okay, and I could afford to fly on a private jet, I would hate
that too.
I really hate that too. I
Really hate flying on planes, but also it is a privilege and a joy to travel I do absolutely love traveling. I'm kind of not in a phase right now where I'm enjoying traveling
I haven't traveled in a few months
For a while there. I was traveling on like a monthly basis, constantly on a plane.
I needed a break psychologically because of my fear of flying and my hatred of flying.
But also just, I don't know, like it's hard on the body. And so I just kind of decided
to take the last few months off of traveling. And I'm absolutely loving it. But traveling
is ultimately an incredible thing. And I'm grateful to be able to do it.
I just mentioned that I hate movies.
So let's discuss that next.
I have always had a really hard time sitting down and watching a movie.
I think mainly because there's a lot of risk in it for me.
Okay?
There's a risk of turning it on and absolutely hating it, but then feeling like,
maybe it'll get better, I should stick it out till the end. And there's a risk that it never gets
better. And I just wasted two hours of my life. So there's a risk that I might be wasting my time.
I also like don't love sitting down and watching something.
Like I'd so much rather during my waking hours
do something active.
Like I'd rather go on a walk, you know?
And I already sit a lot in my day-to-day life.
I work sitting.
I don't wanna sit anymore.
So seeing a movie is not appealing to me in that way.
I also kind of feel afraid of the movie theater for some reason.
There's something about it that really frightens me.
I feel like I'm in this room with a bunch of strangers.
It's dark. It feels dangerous to me.
And I know that that's irrational, but that's another thing I sort of hate about movies,
or at least the movie theater specifically.
And just in general, I've always preferred nonfiction.
I love documentaries. I love YouTube.
I love real stuff. That's just always what I've been drawn to.
I just kind of hate movies to be honest.
But the funny thing about it is that I don't actually hate movies.
I just tend to hate the idea of sitting down for a movie
for a few hours.
Like I dread it, I don't want to do it.
If I get invited to go see a movie with somebody,
I'm like, oh my God, I need to come up with an excuse.
But then when I actually allow myself to experience it,
I always like it, but I hate the idea of it.
The idea of it to me is like my nightmare.
But it always ends up being great
and I end up seeing movies that I really like.
And even if I see a movie that I hate,
there's actually joy in that as well.
Like there's something fun about it.
In fact, it's fun because I get to hate on it.
And we all know that that's something I like to do.
I don't know, I always end up actually liking the movie.
Like I always end up liking the experience.
Okay, moving on, I hate thong underwear.
I absolutely hate a thong and I wore them for years.
So don't tell me like, Emma,
well you just never got used to it.
Like you get used to it.
I got used to it, okay?
I wore a thong for many years and I got sick of it because it's truly uncomfortable.
And it's also kind of disgusting.
Like, I don't need something up my asshole.
I'm good on that, like in all capacities.
I don't ever need something up my ass like that, ever.
It's just not my style, okay?
I hate the sensation.
But also I find that thongs are super,
they do have a tendency to really just ride up
and get lodged in there in a way that to me,
it's just like, it's so uncomfortable
and I feel like it's not healthy for your holes
to be suffocated by a thong,
whereas other underwears that are maybe a bit,
they're not like a thong, so they don't really,
they don't as easily get sucked up into your holes.
Those feel healthier for the holes.
I'm the queen of a seamless little boy short underwear,
because again, I don't wear thongs anymore. I refuse. Majority
of the reason why we wear a thong is because, you know, I mean, I guess maybe some of us
wear it because it's like hot and we're like feeling ourselves. But I think a lot of times
it's because there's no underwear lines, right? I just got to a point where I was like, this
is so uncomfortable. I can't do it anymore. I don't even care. I need to figure out something else.
What's the alternative?
This can't be the only underwear lineless option.
You know what?
It kind of is.
It kind of is.
And that is what I will say about a thong.
It absolutely serves a purpose.
You know, if you don't want underwear lines at all,
if you want it to be smooth, smooth, smooth on the butt,
you got to wear a thong.
It's the only option.
I have probably the best pair of seamless underwear on the market.
I think I've tried so many.
And even then, sometimes it'll get a little bit bunchy and you'll see the underwear lines.
You know, like it's just, it is what it is.
And that's the risk that I take.
But I have to put some respect on the thong.
It's either a thong or no underwear.
That's as close as you're going to get.
And I've done both for multiple years at a time.
Yes, I've done thong and commando.
Okay.
And I've actually brought that up in another episode recently, the fact that I was a commando
gal for a while.
And I'm just wondering why I keep bringing it up.
No one really needs to know that, but I was.
And the truth is, is that, you know,
pants and dresses and skirts and all this,
it's so nice when you're wearing a thong.
But my god, it's too uncomfortable for me,
and I'm never wearing them again.
Moving on, I hate blush.
I really don't like blush.
I just, when it comes to makeup, it's one of those things that I just never really liked,
but more recently, I've grown to dislike it more
because it's super trendy.
I feel like it's been a huge makeup trend
over the last few years to wear a fuck ton of blush.
Now, let me be clear.
I am not saying I hate blush on other people.
I don't give a fuck what makeup
other people do. Like it really, that I don't hate. I don't hate it on other people, but I hate it on
me. Hate it on me. But I guess that's the positive thing about it is that I don't hate it on other
people. In fact, I think it can look quite beautiful on other people. But as it's becoming more popular, I'm more aware of how much I don't like it on myself because every
time I see it on somebody else, I'm like, oof, I couldn't, I couldn't and I wouldn't.
And so, you know, I'm just more aware of it. But yeah, you know what? It looks incredible
on some people. And that's like awesome. This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats.

I mentioned this earlier, but we're
finally coming around to it.
I absolutely hate delays, changes in plan, minor inconveniences that get in the way of
getting something done.
I absolutely hate these things.
To me, I love efficiency.
I love writing down a schedule for the day and just getting every single thing done.
I hate wasted time.
There's nothing I hate more than wasted time.
I'm so anal about time optimization that it's definitely toxic.
It's definitely a flaw. But that leads me to hate minor inconveniences, delays,
changes of plans. These things get in the way of my time optimization. They prevent
productivity. All these things that I'm sort of obsessed with in a toxic way. And to me, these things can be catastrophic.
I have a tendency to, when I'm in a hateful mood,
run into some sort of delay, change of plans,
minor inconvenience, et cetera, and just fucking lose it.
That is often the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.
If I were to try to find the silver lining, number one, these things are never that big
of a deal.
Okay?
I tend to overreact about them.
The nature of these things, they're frustrating maybe.
They're, again, inconvenient, sure, but they're not a catastrophe.
Also sometimes, not to get spiritual, but sometimes these types of things happen to change our course and it ends up
being meant to be, you know,
sometimes we're just not meant to complete a task when we wanted to.
Sometimes we're not meant to go to dinner with our friends that night.
We're meant to do something else.
Sometimes your tire will go flat because for some reason
you weren't supposed to leave for the road trip
you were gonna go on that day.
Like sometimes this stuff just happens for a reason.
And I think when we welcome minor inconveniences,
delays, changes in plans, we're able to find
that silver lining, we're able to be like,
oh, you know what?
Maybe this wasn't meant to be today.
And I'm actually pretty good about that
when I'm in a good state of mind,
but when I'm in a hater state of mind,
this type of shit really fucking sends me.
It sends me.
But you know what?
It can be a beautiful thing.
And it can just be meant to be.
Moving on, I hate room temperature water,
which sounds so fucking bratty.
Like, I only like water with ice, but can I be honest?
I really, really don't like the taste
of room temperature water.
It makes me nauseous.
And I really, really love a crisp ice cold water.
And I really, really don't like drinking water without ice in it.
To me, it's gross and to me, I hate it.
And one of my pet peeves is when I'm at a restaurant and they don't bring me ice with
my water.
And again, I know I sound like a brat.
I sound like a total fucking brat, but that's just how I feel.
But you know what?
I will say, if you need to get water down the gullet fast,
if you need to drink water fast,
if you're dehydrated and you just want it,
well, if you're dehydrated, you shouldn't drink water fast.
I've done that before and like almost thrown up.
But if you want to chug water for some reason,
room temperature water, you can guzzle.
Ice water, you have to sip. You do. And it sometimes hurts the teeth. It, you can guzzle. Ice water, you have to sip.
You do.
And it sometimes hurts the teeth.
It's hard to guzzle.
I mean, it's delicious.
In fact, it's like making me crave it.
I have my Stanley cup over here.
Let me just have a little sip of my water.
Oh, it's absolutely ice cold.
I'm actually drinking some sparkling water with some apple cider vinegar in it.
It's so sour today. I really put a lot of vinegar in there. I feel like my teeth are
just like corroding from every sip that I drink because of how much vinegar is in there.
But I couldn't chug that if I tried. I mean, the vinegar and the carbonation doesn't help
either, but it's so cold. You can really just chug room temperature water. And for that
reason, I actually think that it's quite beautiful.
Okay, next.
I'm not trying to be petty here.
I'm not trying to pick a fight.
I'm not a big fan of Starbucks.
Okay, I'm not gonna say I hate Starbucks.
Okay, that's a little bit extreme.
Cause I don't think I hate Starbucks.
I did in the past,
but I think more recently I've tried to change my mindset
and I don't hate Starbucks anymore, but I don more recently I've tried to change my mindset and I don't hate Starbucks
anymore, but I don't love it, right?
And I'm somebody who's really into coffee, so understandably so I'm critical of these
massive coffee chains because I'm like, this is a product that I really love.
I guess I'm just extra judgmental.
Listen, here's why perhaps I dislike Starbucks,
okay? I think the plain coffee, right? Like getting like a classic latte with almond
milk or getting like a classic matcha, you know, they're simple drinks, they're classic
espresso drinks that don't have a bunch of syrup and don't have a bunch of sugar and
don't have a bunch of whipped cream and don't have a bunch of cookie crumble
shavings.
It's not great.
It's not super high quality.
Do I blame them?
Not necessarily.
They're in mass.
They're massive.
When things are that large, when you scale your business to that size, understandably,
the quality is just not going to be as good. You know what else I don't like about Starbucks? I don't like the decor, the
aesthetic. I really, I don't love it. I feel like Starbucks used to have sort of a charming,
like kind of hipster-y, cutesy sort of aesthetic, and it feels very corporate and very like
kind of beige to me. I don't know, like I get it, okay, I get it.
Starbucks, don't, I'm about to say something,
I'm about to find something nice to say about you.
So don't like, don't hurt me, okay, or my coffee company.
Luckily for you guys, Starbucks,
my coffee company is not a threat to you.
Okay, I'm not on your coattails,
so y'all don't need to worry about me.
All right?
We have one cafe.
We're in grocery stores,
but we're not impeding on your shelf space.
So we're good.
But you know what I fucking love about Starbucks?
A few things, actually.
I came up with a few things.
Number one, the fucking egg white bites.
I absolutely love and adore the fucking egg white bites. I absolutely love and adore the Starbucks egg white bites.
Okay, egg white, red pepper, yum.
I've tried to make them at home,
could never even get close, okay?
Wanna know why?
Because Starbucks does it right.
And no one will ever compete.
Whoever developed that recipe,
I hope that they're fucking retired
and living in the Bahamas now, okay?
They should never work another day in their life.
People who create good things should then retire
and live their life in peace, okay?
So I really hope whoever developed the recipe
for the Starbucks Egg White Bites,
I really hope that you're relaxing,
and I hope that you're living in a house in the Bahamas,
and I hope that you don't have internet, and I hope that you're disconnected in a house in the Bahamas and I hope that
you don't have internet and I hope that you're disconnected and I hope that every day is
a fucking joy for you because my God, you deserve it because you have done a public
service.
Every time I'm in the middle of nowhere, which happens more than you'd expect, I'm on a road
trip, I'm traveling, I'm at the airport. I'm, you know, whatever.
I'm in the middle of like Los Angeles
and I'm not familiar with the area and I have no,
there's always a Starbucks and there's always egg white bites.
I know that whenever I'm hungry,
I can find a fucking Starbucks
and get the goddamn egg white bites and be full
and have protein.
I love the egg white bites
and I love that I can get them
whenever I want, they're always there.
I get two orders, so that means four egg bites in total,
and I get three sriracha packets,
and I eat my little egg whites with my little sriracha,
and it's just good, it's just good.
When it comes to fast food in a pinch,
that's what I'm gonna get.
It feels healthy
enough. I don't feel like shit after I eat it. It's just, it's great. Thank you, Starbucks.
If you need help redesigning all of your cafes, just call me. Like I know that I also have a coffee
company, but for the love of God, you know, I love this stuff. So give me a call. My rate is very expensive though. I'm just kidding.
Okay, moving on.
I absolutely hate sitting in an appointment
for a long time.
There are so many different types of treatments
that are popular these days.
Hair, nails, eyelashes, eyebrows,
waxing, laser, infinite appointments.
And there's nothing I hate more than an appointment
that is like four hours long.
And let me tell you,
I find myself sitting in some long appointments, okay?
Mainly for me personally, my hair and my nails.
Those are the two things that I love having done so much
that I'm willing to sit through a really long appointment,
but there's nothing I fucking hate more.
Sitting in a long appointment, for some reason I always get gas.
In a long appointment, I'm sitting still and my stomach always ends up hurting after hour
three.
My stomach's just killing me.
I need to fart.
Can't because I'm stuck sitting and also there's people around.
My tailbone and back
always hurt during a long appointment. My legs are asleep. I get up. I'm like wobbling
around. I always start to feel sick after sitting in a long appointment for a long time.
It's just horrible. Whenever I go to get my hair bleached, it takes so long and it's just
exhausting. It's so exhausting and I absolutely hate it.
And same thing with getting nails done.
Like I actually think it's fun to get like complex,
you know, nails done.
There's obviously like standard nail designs,
like just getting like a classic nail done with like,
you know, a simple color,
or you can do something more complex.
You can get nail art, you could get like unique shapes,
you could get, you know know your nail beds cleaned really well and that sometimes adds like an hour
or two. Like there's a lot of different things that you can add to your nail appointment
that will add time. I would love to do those things. Like I'd love to like you know maybe
get a more sort of complex sort of manicure in some way. I'm not like the biggest nail
art girl. I prefer more maybe subtle nail art,
but like a little bit of it is kind of fun
and I think can be timeless and cool and versatile,
but it just takes too long.
And I don't want to sit at the nail salon,
you know, once a month for like four hours
getting my nails done, like I can't handle it.
But the result, the result is so rewarding.
Like in the case for me,
I absolutely love having my nails done.
I absolutely love having fun hair that I enjoy styling.
And a lot of times that requires a long hair appointment.
Like again, right now my hair is bleached blonde
and very short.
I have to go in once a month to get it re-bleached,
to get it cut short again.
It's a very high-maintenance hairstyle,
but sometimes that's sort of the sacrifice you have to make.
You know, a little bit of torture,
sitting in a chair for fucking four or five hours
for the sake of self-expression,
for the sake of, you know, self-care.
And for the rest of the month,
when my hair and nails are done, I feel a little bit
more beautiful. I feel a little bit more cool. I have a little bit more fun styling clothes because
my hair and my nails match the outfit. You know what? In that way, it is worth it. And maybe I'll
start getting more complex nails done, but I don't know, maybe not.
Okay, moving on, I hate the talking stage
of romantic relationships.
You know, the phase when you're overthinking
every single little thing that you say to the person,
you're nervous every time you hang out with them,
you're not really showing your full personality
because you're too scared and you don't even know how
and they're not showing
their full personality and it's a little bit tense and it's a little bit uncomfortable.
You don't really know how to read the other person so you're constantly worried that maybe
you did something wrong or that they don't like you anymore.
You don't know if they're taking it seriously.
You don't know if they want this to be something that lasts long or short and it's just a mess. The talking stage.
I fucking no. I absolutely hate it. It's miserable for me. I really don't like like some people love
it. Like really find it exciting and fun and exhilarating and whatever, you know, like the physical chemistry
is more explosive because it's new and exciting.
I personally don't like it.
There's nothing worse than when you've been talking
to somebody a little bit and you've not had any like physical,
you've not been sort of romantic with them yet.
And you're like, oh my God, now there's all this buildup,
like when's it gonna happen?
And then you like start to get in your head
and you're really nervous about it.
And then it happens and it's either really good
and you click really well or it's like,
ooh, that was actually not as great as I wanted it to be.
And the whole thing is so high stress
and you can't get anything done in your life
because you're focusing on this person.
It's all consuming.
I hate it.
I do always sort of look back at it fondly.
In the moment, I despise it, but when I look back, it's always one of the most beautiful
romantic times of a relationship.
When I look back at all of my exes, every single one, the beginning was the most special.
And then it got progressively less special.
I don't know, like when it comes to remembering my exes,
the fondest memory I have with every single one
is the beginning stage when it was new and it was exciting.
And I think the goal, at least for me,
is to eventually be with somebody where the fondest memories
go beyond that beginning stage that is sort of magical.
But also, well, but horrible.
It's actually horrible in the moment, but it is sort of magical.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know.
Yeah, that's my goal.
My goal is to have good memories with somebody that happen after that phase.
I don't want the sweet memories to end, but that is the positive silver lining of that
uncomfortable time is that for whatever reason, it's a fond memory, even though in the moment
it's so stressful, it's so overwhelming, it's so all-consuming's exhausting, but it is kind of a sweet memory.
Warning.
I've got this condition where I don't feel pain.
You're a superhero.
If this is how intense Nova King sounds, imagine how it looks.
Samor?
Yeah, big time.
Nova King.
Pulling theaters March 14th.
Next, I just absolutely hate itchy wool sweaters.
I cannot stand the feeling of itchy clothing.
I mean, I guess I could just say itchy clothing in general, but especially itchy wool sweaters.
The feeling of itchy wool, it's actually shocking to me that they even make clothing that's
itchy anymore.
It makes sense to me that, I don't know,
a hundred years ago there wasn't as many options
and like clothes were just itchy.
You know, that was just sort of the way it was.
Have we not evolved past that point?
Okay, I have wool sweaters that are not itchy.
I know it's possible.
In fact, I'm wearing a beanie right now as I'm recording this
because it's a little chilly in my house. So I'm wearing a little be right now as I'm recording this, because it's a little
chilly in my house.
So I'm wearing a little beanie because it feels kind of warm and good.
But I've been wearing the beanie for a few hours and it's getting so itchy on my head
and I want to take it off, but my hair is going to look terrible and I don't want to.
But my head is just...
I'm itching.
Oh my God, my head is itchy. I'm itching.
Oh my God, my head is itchy.
Ow.
Oh my God, my head is absolutely itchy.
Yeah, I hate the itch, but I will say though,
I don't know why this is.
Itchy sweaters are always the cutest.
Itchy beanies are always the cutest.
Like, you know, the chunkiest, cutest, most like luxurious looking knit is always the
itchiest.
I don't know why it is.
I can't tell you how many times I've been shopping in store and just like looking around,
looking around, looking around and I see a beautiful sweater.
I'm like, wow, that is the most beautiful sweater I've ever seen.
It has like this incredible texture. It has little things poking out of it, like little
pieces of fabric. Like it just is so beautiful. Everything about it, texture, color, blah,
blah, blah. It looks luxurious. It looks, you know, high quality. I walk up, too itchy,
too itchy. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a scarf and I'm like, oh my goodness,
this scarf. I mean, this is just an incredible scarf. It's how many times I've seen a scarf and I'm like, oh my goodness, this scarf!
I mean, this is just an incredible scarf.
It's the most incredible I've ever seen.
The bright color, the dynamic texture.
Let me try that thing on, try it on too itchy.
Can't do it.
I feel like my sweater collection would be so top notch
if I wasn't as uncomfortable in an itchy sweater.
Now it's one thing to have a physical aversion
to something, I hate how itchy wool sweaters feel.
I think a lot of people probably do.
That's fair, right?
That's a fair, rational thing to not like.
But I think for me it's sort of irrational.
I hate itchy sweaters and I think for me, it's sort of irrational. I hate itchy sweaters.
And I think what makes me hate itchy wool sweaters is the fact that every single time
I see a sweater that I really like, I go up and I touch it and there's a 99% chance that
it's going to be itchy and unwearable.
And that's just such a shame to me and makes me wonder, how have we not figured out a way
to eliminate the itch permanently? Why are we still selling clothing that's just such a shame to me and makes me wonder like, how have we not figured out a way to eliminate the itch permanently?
Why are we still selling clothing that's itchy?
I hate that.
That is something that I hate.
It makes me angry.
But again, you know what?
They are beautiful garments.
And the silver lining is that other people wear them
who don't mind the itch and I can enjoy it on them.
I'll enjoy them on other people.
Moving on, I hate when people aren't self-sufficient.
Like, what's a good example?
Like, let's say your friend's car breaks down
and they call you and they're like,
hey dude, like my car broke down, like what do I do?
It's like, I don't know, Google it. Like you don't need to call me and ask me what to do
Like you can Google it or like let's say, you know, you're really good at something like or really into something like let's say
Like let's say I'm really into skincare, right?
And then one of my friends is like, oh my god, like I've been really wanting to get into skincare
What products do you use and you're like, oh, yeah, I've been really wanting to get into skincare. What products do you use?
And you're like, oh yeah, fuck yeah.
Let me send you all these products.
So you send all the links and then they're like,
oh, well, how do I use them?
And then you explain.
And then a week later they're like,
oh, wait, I've been thinking about this product
and they send a photo of it and they're like,
do you know anything about this one?
And you're like, no.
And then they're like,
oh, well, can you let me know if it's any good?
Okay, at that point,
you need to just start doing your own research.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Like there's certain people who they're just,
their personalities, they just don't do things on their own.
They don't, like I am very sparing about
when I ask people for advice or for help.
I wait until it's kind of an emergency or like this person,
I've Googled it, I've tried to use my resources,
I really just need help from a person.
And then I go and I get help.
But there's certain people that just want everyone else
to help them through the world.
And that is something that I hate.
Because you know, I try to be sparing and intentional
about how I use other people's time
and I would hope that people would do the same for me
and so when they are not self-sufficient
and just start, like realize, oh this person
knows how to figure shit out,
like I'm just going to start going to this person.
And it's like, no, I'm self-sufficient
because I just know how to fucking google something
Or like I'll watch a tutorial. I'll figure something out
You know and I'm not even the most self-sufficient person like there are people in my life who are way more self-sufficient than me
but like I'm self-sufficient enough and
Self-aware enough where like I don't abuse it and there's just certain people who do and that's something that really bothers me. However,
number one, these people aren't bad people. Okay, so let's be loving Emma. Let's be loving. These people aren't bad people.
Okay, they're not trying to be inconsiderate. They're not evil just for whatever reason. They're not self-sufficient. Okay?
Everyone has flaws. I have shortcomings and so I should be accepting of others
because this is not the worst possible trait that that someone could have. This
isn't that harmful, you know what I mean? So that's sort of you know maybe
something nice to say. What else? You know helping people feels good. Maybe another silver lining is that people
who are not self-sufficient need help and helping people feels good. Maybe? I don't
know.
Okay, next. I really hate loud cars. I hate when people drive through the street and they
just absolutely with their car and it happens all the time in Los Angeles and it's often so loud and startling
that I will jump and I fucking hate it.
Okay, I just think it's obnoxious,
I think it's unnecessary and I don't get it.
But you know what?
I'd like to believe that when the car makes the loud sound
like that, it does make the driver of the car happy.
If, you know what, I'm gonna choose to believe
that it brings the driver so much joy
that their day is made every time they...
Rarrow!
With the car really loud.
If it brings somebody else joy,
then I'll try to find joy in that myself, okay?
Yeah, maybe moving forward,
when I hear that sound, I can say,
you know what, the person driving that car is having fun. Yeah, that feels nice. I think that's something nice. That's nice.
Moving on, I hate high heels. I do think that there's something wrong with the anatomy of
my foot. Like I think my arch is too high on my foot. I physically can't wear high heels
without being unable to walk within an hour. blisters, back pain, foot pain.
So listen, do I kind of hate high heels for a rational reason?
Yes, but I even see other people wearing them and I'm like, oh my God, why are you wearing
those?
It's so uncomfortable.
Take those off.
What are we doing?
You're out to dinner.
Take them off.
Why are you doing? You're out to dinner. Take them off. Why are you hurting yourself?
Like, I like hate them.
Because I've experienced so much pain from them
that now I just hate them every time I see them.
Whereas with blush, right?
Like I see blush on other people and I'm like, you do you.
But I see high heels on other people and I'm like,
why are we doing this?
What if we all collectively took them off?
They're so uncomfortable.
They also are kind of chuggy,
but I kind of think a high heel is a little bit chuggy.
Like a fucking stiletto, to me it's a little chuggy.
It feels kind of like, I don't know,
there's something about it that's a little chuggy to me.
Like a little kitten heel, cute.
I don't know, like a full on heel,
there's something about it
It just makes me cringe a little bit like from an aesthetic standpoint
I don't think it really looks that it like the shoe itself is kind of it's hard to style it in a way that is
To me not chuggy. Have I done it?
Absolutely, but you want to know why I've done it
Because the one high heel silver lining that I can think of is that sometimes it's just what an outfit needs
to make the leg look good.
A high heel can really change the entire silhouette
of an entire outfit.
So it does serve a purpose sometimes,
but I do ultimately hate them.
And my stylist, Jared, knows every time he puts me
in a high heel that I'm going to complain about it.
Every single like little red carpet event I go to, the heel gets a little bit shorter
because he's like, I just can't hear Emma complain anymore.
Okay, let's move on.
Okay, this is going to be controversial and I just can't wait for somebody to cancel
me for this or something.
But I have a hard time.
See, I'm being so gentle and like, and like
media trained. I have a really hard time with when certain people copy me. Now I
don't care about being copied for the most part, you know, especially because
I'm on the internet and if like somebody sees something that I do and is like, oh
I want to do that and you know they're, you know, a consumer of my content. I'm on the internet and if somebody sees something that I do and is like, oh, I want to do that and they're a consumer of my content, I'm like, that's great. Copy me
all you want. But there are certain times when I hate when people copy me. I'm going
to be honest. Okay? I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying that this is morally fair,
but I'm just being honest that this is something that I hate. I hate when perhaps a peer copies me.
I can have a really hard time with that.
I also have a hard time with when a friend copies me a lot.
It's one thing.
Listen, I copy my friends.
When you're around somebody enough, you just start to absorb their personality traits.
It's inevitable.
But there's a difference between that and intentional copying to a point where it's like,
oh my God, I don't have anything of my own anymore.
There's nothing that's just mine left
because I'm being copied so much.
And I know it sounds petty and rude and whatever,
but I've always kind of had a hard time with it. And I think it's because I feel like it's
detracting from me. Like if I do something that feels like a personal expression of myself,
and then someone else who's sort of close to me or is maybe even a peer, who's maybe like in the
same sort of space as me, career-wise or whatever, like copies me directly.
I'm like, come on, man.
Like, let's all, we can all kind of do something similar,
but like, let's all kind of do our own thing
because to me, I feel like threatens my feeling
of individuality and which again, is that like,
is that wrong?
Maybe, but it's something that I've always hated.
It's always really bothered me and made me angry and I've always hated it. And I think too, there's part of me that's
like, oh my God, if somebody gets praise for something that they like directly ripped from
me, that kind of bums me out. But then that's also, it's like, Emma, you don't need any
more praise. You fucking like narcissistic freak. Like chill out. Listen, I'm not saying
it's right. I'm just saying it's the way it is
I I don't like being copied by certain people there are certain people that trigger me when they copy me, okay?
However, this is actually really a sweet thing and I should be a bit more graceful
Okay
Number one. It's the highest form of flattery when somebody copies you highest form of flattery. They must love it
Right. It's a compliment. It doesn't feel like a compliment because I sort of feel like oh my god, I've been ripped off
But it ultimately is a compliment
But also the truth is no one can really fully copy anyone else
Unless you like fully like let's say you are an artist
and you painted a painting and then somebody
literally screenshots it and starts selling prints of it,
like that's different.
But copying in the way that I'm saying,
like making a podcast episode with this exact same title
and basically making the exact same episode,
but you know, maybe there's a few differences,
but it's pretty much exactly the same.
That person's rendition is always gonna be
a little bit different, okay?
Let's say I start wearing a lot of black and white stripes,
and then one of my friends starts wearing
a lot of black and white stripes,
and then I get a new car,
and then they get the exact same car,
and then I start saying a certain phrase, and then my friend starts saying the certain phrase, and then it get the exact same car. And then I start saying a certain like phrase
and then my friends start saying the certain phrase and then and it starts to build up.
Yeah, they're technically, you know, kind of copying me in a way. But also the beauty
of us as individual people is that even when we copy each other, we never fully can copy
each other because we're all unique.
You know what I'm saying?
So there kind of is no such thing.
There actually is no threat there.
But you can feel sort of threatened in a way by that or frustrated or ripped off, but it's
actually not.
And you know what?
That's sort of beautiful.
So next, I hate being spoken to when I'm in a quiet mood.
Like some days I just wanna go to hot yoga,
go to the grocery store and not talk to anybody.
And sometimes people talk to me and I really, really hate it.
And I feel kinda bad because I'm like,
Emma, you're evil, you know?
Why don't you want, like, come on, be a human being.
Get yourself in the mood. But human being get yourself in the mood
But when I'm not in the mood to talk and people talk to me, it's really I really hate it
I absolutely hate it because there just are sometimes when I don't have the energy and I don't I don't I just don't have it
In me, but you want to know what it's actually a beautiful thing anytime a stranger talks to you
Why because number one for whatever reason,
you felt inviting to them.
And that is such a wonderful compliment.
Also, community and connection with other human beings
is so important.
Honestly, probably the most important
when one is feeling like a hater.
So perhaps sweet conversation could change
a hater's perspective.
I think there's something kind of beautiful about that.
Next, I hate oversleeping.
It really ruins my day, okay?
Like if I oversleep, the rest of the day for me is ruined.
I'm out of whack, I'm not motivated, I feel like there's not enough time in the rest of the day for me is ruined. I'm out of whack, I'm not motivated,
I feel like there's not enough time
in the rest of the day to get anything done.
When I'm in a hateful place,
oversleeping will literally ruin my day immediately.
Waking up, it's 9.30 a.m., I've overslept,
my day is ruined.
Now I hate my life for the rest of the day.
But you know what the truth is, number one,
you can always turn around a late start.
Oversleeping is not the end.
It's not the end of the day.
The day is not ruined.
That is not true.
So that's one positive thing.
Another positive thing is that sometimes
your body just needs it, you're exhausted,
and you're actually gonna be more productive
for the rest of the day because you overslept
and you're well rested.
And I guess, last but not least, there's always tomorrow.
Wake up early tomorrow, you know?
This is just one day, try again tomorrow.
And last but not least, I hate when people are overly nice.
It really fucking pisses me off.
Like I have a really hard time with people who are almost like
Sickly sweet, you know like positive to a point where it's like, oh my god. Are you even like
Being a real are you even a real human being like do you even mean any of this?
Like how is this even possible? Like is it even possible to be this positive?
Seems a little bit too good to be true to me.
To me, somebody who's like really positive, overly nice
is lying, is faking, is hiding something.
But you wanna know what?
These types of people are harmless.
And they're actually, their impact on the world
is probably very positive.
These are not harmful people.
These are not the people to hate. But for
whatever reason, I'm more bothered by people who are overly positive, overly nice, because
there's just something about it that to me feels sinister and I just hate it. But it's
not fair because they're not doing anything wrong. And they're probably happier than I
am. Maybe not. Okay, I'm done. That was me trying to say
something nice about things that I hate. I do not feel like this activity changed my life.
I can't even say that this activity changed my perspective. Okay, so am I going to recommend
this exercise to you? No. Actually, you know what? It was kind of a positive exercise.
I think it would actually be fun
to do this with someone else.
Like maybe if you are gonna do this,
do this with one of your hater friends if you're a hater.
It's fun because you get to sort of vent about what you hate,
which is really kind of cathartic for us haters.
But then you counteract it with something positive. And I don't know, we'll
see in the following days whether or not this exercise sort of got me into the routine of
finding the positive in things that I dislike. I actually think that there's a chance that
it might. Can I guarantee it? No, I can't. But I hope it does.
That would be great.
So maybe give it a try.
If you don't, that's fine.
That's all for today's episode.
You know what?
It was one of the stupidest ones I've ever made.
Actually, Emma, stop.
I'm trying to stop you.
See?
That was hateful.
That was hateful.
That was me hating on myself.
Okay?
No, it was not one of the stupidest ones I've ever made.
Perhaps it was experimental. You know, I've ever made. Perhaps it was experimental.
You know, I've never made an episode like this before.
I came up with my own exercise to help with, you know, one of my issues.
So it was experimental, but it was not stupid.
Okay?
Experimenting is good.
Anyway, I need to make myself like a little matcha or something.
I'm getting the afternoon sleepies.
It's 1.30 p.m.
I'm feeling afternoon sleepies and I need a little matcha.
Okay?
I think that'd be good for me.
So I'm going to go make that.
