Ep 280: Romanticizing
[00:00:00]
SARAH: Hey, what's up? Hello. Welcome to Sounds Fake But Okay, a podcast where an aroace girl, I'm Sarah, that's me
KAYLA: And a bi-demisexual girl, that's me Kayla
SARAH: Talk about all things to do with love, relationships, sexuality, and pretty much anything else we just don't understand
KAYLA: On today's episode, Romanticizing
BOTH: Sounds Fake But Okay
[Intro Music]
SARAH: Welcome back to the pod
KAYLA: Hi.
SARAH: Hi
KAYLA: My favorite part of the podcast is when after we do the intro and then we sit and have like a little one-minute conversation about something else before…
SARAH: Well, because you used to m’lady, but…
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Once we got rid of that horrid tradition
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: It's just a void that we need to fill.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Housekeeping?
KAYLA: Um, do we have any?
SARAH: I did… I did some pickups today for our super-secret thing
KAYLA: Yeah, definitely a secret. No one guessed it immediately. Oh
SARAH: Nobody guessed it and my mouth was a little too wet.
KAYLA: Yeah. Expected
SARAH: But I only had one sentence in the credits. So, listen
KAYLA: Should we just say it?
SARAH: No, we’re waiting until we have an actual confirmed…
KAYLA: Date?
SARAH: Date
KAYLA: I guess because we can't trust the date that's out there because I don't actually know if it's true and the person we could ask is on vacation
SARAH: Always is
KAYLA: Like a classic British person. They're literally… they're literally always on vacation and like I love that for them but when do you get anything done
SARAH: When I didn't have the phone number of the person I needed the phone number of today I was like, I'm so glad that these two people who are based in LA are going through someone in the UK. Game of telephone.
KAYLA: It's the whole thing it is so silly.
SARAH: I was like…
KAYLA: It is so silly
SARAH: I was like, oh god, is he even still at work? And then I got the bounce back that he was actually out of office.
KAYLA: Yeah, we deal with like… We deal with so many… a shocking amount of like British people because of this podcast that like I… Like I have the like one of my widgets on my home screen is like international clocks and I have here, LA and London because those are what… it's not even for my fucking day job. It's for this that I'm like I have to…
SARAH: Just for your night job
KAYLA: It’s for my night job. I have to know the international times
SARAH: Amazing. All right. Well, um Kayla what are we talking about this week this week?
KAYLA: Well, last week I asked for episodes idea suggestion on Instagram and we proceeded to use none of those ideas, but this week…
SARAH: Slay
KAYLA: We will be using one of those ideas.
SARAH: Mm-hmm
KAYLA: I guess I don't want to say the person's name that suggested it because I don't know if they would want that
SARAH: Right. I guess the suggestions aren't public.
KAYLA: They're not and I don't want to like blow up anybody's spot but something… To whoever did it. I love you. I also love how many people were just like am I the asshole now do it? I need it, do a reddit episode. Like I'm glad that you guys enjoy it as much as we do
SARAH: I have so many… I have multiple episodes worth saved in my phone.
KAYLA: Yeah, so don't worry. We just feel like we need to spread them out. So we're not…
SARAH: Maybe… Maybe not next week, but the following week we can do
KAYLA: Perhaps, as a treat
SARAH: As a Thanksgiving treat
KAYLA: True. You can all be thankful for us but anyway, oh I found the person… but now I feel like because I saw their username, they would probably be okay being blown up.
SARAH: Who is it?
KAYLA: The username is One anxious ace, one.anxious.ace. I feel like they're probably out, you know
SARAH: Yeah, I would guess
KAYLA: I would guess that they're probably…
SARAH: At least online, which is where we are right now
KAYLA: Right. So, I like I feel okay saying it. I feel like I'm not…
SARAH: Can we just get to it?
KAYLA: It's the one anxious ace. Their idea was things to romanticize instead of romance.
SARAH: Mm-hmm
KAYLA: Which yes, but also it's what we're going to do. But then I was like, oh, maybe we should like before we just like do our classic listing of silly things we should like talk about romanticizing a bit, you know to like be serious for a second
SARAH: Well, I wrote in my voluptuous notes…
KAYLA: Voluptuous
SARAH: That we should love to define it
KAYLA: Right. I do think we should do that. So, let's do that really quick
SARAH: So according to the Lord's Google, yes has gotten it from
KAYLA: Oxford languages
SARAH: Yes. To romanticize is to deal with or describe in an idealized or unrealistic fashion. To make something seem better or more appealing than it really is. The example is the tendency to romanticize non-industrial society.
KAYLA: Jesus heavy hitting example there
SARAH: So, it's actually nothing to do with romance
KAYLA: No, right like I was… When I was looking at my first Google like why do we romanticize things? Because I was just trying to cast a wide net and I also like doing the why questions because that's when like the Psychology articles pop up and we get some really silly shit going on.
SARAH: Mm-hmm
KAYLA: But what I ended up finding it's two different things. One was people's concern and asking for help about how to stop romanticizing relationships, particularly relationships that weren't fully formed yet. They're like I just met this person and I've only known them for a day but like I've already planned our entire life together
SARAH: Right. I have… I was just looking at other definitions Merriam Webster says to treat as idealized or heroic but they also have a… so that's the transitive verb form where you have to have it, I had to look up with transitive…
KAYLA: I love this grammar…
SARAH: It doesn't have… it doesn't have a direct… Transitive has a direct object.
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: But there's an in transitive verb which is to hold romantic ideas or to present details, incidents, or people in a romantic way. Am I a little confused about how that doesn't have a direct object? Yes
KAYLA: Yeah, that doesn't… I feel like that means the exact same thing
SARAH: But it means it in a romance way rather than an idealized way.
KAYLA: Romance way
SARAH: So, like there's two different versions…
KAYLA: I guess I still I feel like there's an object.
SARAH: Yeah, there's… I do too.
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: I also… look for someone who is like a writer who's like as strict about grammar not being dumb as I am you would think I would know these things
KAYLA: No, but you missed that day in school
SARAH: I didn't know what a noun was until I started learning German.
KAYLA: I know. I know
SARAH: Capital N noun because…
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Nouns in German are capitalized
KAYLA: Did you… like you missed that day in school, right? Like…
SARAH: I have no idea
KAYLA: Wasn’t that the problem?
SARAH: I don't… sure, maybe, why was it only one day?
KAYLA: I know people that that happened to that they like missed a day or two in school and they like missed the days where you like learned what a noun and a verb, that happened to people
SARAH: It could be that I learned and just forgot
KAYLA: That's what I did with sex ed, so
SARAH: Great.
KAYLA: Well, so anyway, that was the one part of romanticizing that I found online. The other half was the like romanticizing your life movement which according to the New York Times gained popularity during the pandemic. Which I suppose makes sense or just like when people are like, I'm romanticizing my Diet Coke and so they like pour it in a fancy glass and like put a little wine in it
SARAH: Girl, damn it. Thesaurus.com offers as a synonym sentimentalize which I think is a very good like it's…
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: It's rose-colored glassesing
KAYLA: Yes, that was the other… that was the third thing I forgot was that people talking about like how do I stop romanticizing the past? It was another like big thing
SARAH: Because you only remember the good stuff rose-colored glasses blah blah blah blah and then you're like, oh it was so much better than it was when like in reality the past was also bad
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: Everything is bad
KAYLA: Who'd have thought? I do think like romanticizing romance though, like people really just do that…
SARAH: Oh, that's not their… That's clearly like the basis of the word even if in a romantic way is not the way we most often use it these days
KAYLA: Right. I think just like especially because of the way like movies and TV and books and stuff portray romance it makes it seem a lot like better and easier than it is like I was reading through some old transcripts the other day like the ones we were when we were talking about The Bachelor like the TV show and you were talking about how because of The Bachelor there were so many difficult conversations that couples have that you didn't realize were happening
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: Because they don't…
SARAH: They just didn't consider
KAYLA: Right because… and well they don't show that in movies and TV like the movie always ends when the couple gets together and then you never have to sit there with them figuring out the logistics of like where they're going to live and…
SARAH: Right
KAYLA: Whose house they're going to for Christmas…
SARAH: Right and even like the arguing about fundamental stuff
KAYLA: Right
SARAH: You do… you get that in fanfiction, but you know what you don't get in fanfiction? the fucking like… what was the first example you gave? Ever… I forgot already but it was like…
KAYLA: Just serious conversations? Where we going to live?
SARAH: Yeah, like in concert like not that obviously is consequential but like the stuff that like doesn't make for a good dramatic arc.
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: Just disagree.
KAYLA: Yeah, which makes it a lot… and then yeah, and people like romanticize it, they think romance is all like fun giggle time all the time when it's like actually
[00:10:00]
SARAH: Actually, stop giggling right now
KAYLA: Actually, sometimes it's not very giggle, you know
SARAH: Sometimes you got to just giggle. Alright, so that's… so that's what… that is what romanticization is at its core.
KAYLA: Yup
SARAH: And so, when people talk about romanticizing stuff as we mentioned like you can romanticize romantic relationships, but it's a little redundant and I feel like the romanticization of romantic relationships is already baked in
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: In that people like they're like, oh like I just need a romantic partner and like it everything will be better or like I can't wait until I have a romantic partner because blah blah, but instead of doing… Applying to that bullshit. We're going to talk about other things that you can romanticize that you wouldn't traditionally think about
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: So, I wrote some things down.
KAYLA: I didn’t
SARAH: I assumed you didn't
KAYLA: Yeah. Here we are.
SARAH: All right, my first one, I will begin romanticize your platonic relationships. They're important too and the romanticization of romantic relationships is basically about like being like oh this is really important so make your platonic relationships important
KAYLA: Wasn't it in Loveless the novel that one of the friends does like a huge gesture that like is like a romance one …
SARAH: A big platonic, a platonic gesture. Yeah.
KAYLA: Yeah, it's like something with like a boat and a sign or…
SARAH: Yeah, there's a boat involved
KAYLA: Yeah, like it feels like something that would happen in a rom-com, but it was between two friends like that's what… yeah, big platonic gestures, romance
SARAH: What else should we be romanticizing?
KAYLA: Sorry. I was so swept up in your example and talking about your example that I forgot to think
SARAH: You were listening to me? How dare you?
KAYLA: I know. I forgot that I should…
SARAH: The point of this type of episode is to not listen to each other at all and just be thinking
KAYLA: I know. I know
SARAH: Do you want me to do my next one?
KAYLA: Yeah, I need more examples.
SARAH: I think we should romanticize smelly markers. Like, you know those like scented markers from when you were…
KAYLA: I feel like those are already definitely romanticized personally
SARAH: I think we need to romanticize them not just looking at them in the past, we need to romanticize them in the present day.
KAYLA: Okay, so bring them back you mean?
SARAH: Yes
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: And we need to like carry them around in our backpacks in our pockets
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: And love them and cherish them. I also think we should romanticize sniffing sharpies. That was not on my list
KAYLA: Okay, but you have to be careful because one time I was doing a school project where I was like making a big like poster art thing
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: And I was… it was all in sharpie and so I was using a jumbo sharpie and I was like real up close to it because doing the art or whatever and I did not feel good.
SARAH: I… sniffing sharpies within reason in moderation
KAYLA: Carefully. Yeah. I think we should romanticize picking up garbage because…
SARAH: So true
KAYLA: Because it's like… it is gross but I think it could become like a manic pixie dream girl situation where you're like, oh my god she's so cool. Like walking around just like holding this like disgusting garbage she found on the street
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: She cares about the earth
SARAH: She cares about the environment.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: She cares about waste management
KAYLA: Mm-hmm.
SARAH: Yeah, that's good. I think, you know you hear people all the time talking about romanticizing their childhood and like anyone can like, you know romanticize their favorite food from the when they were a child but how about we romanticize your favorite food from when you're an adult right now? If it's the same as you were a child, you're consistent and I appreciate that just be like damn, wow I really fucking love this mac and cheese. I'm going to think about this mac and cheese more often than would be expected
KAYLA: Hmm
SARAH: This is my Roman Empire.
KAYLA: Yeah, okay. Um, I'm having a tough one today
SARAH: Mm-hmm. I think we should romanticize grass because this often leads to touching grass which is always good
KAYLA: Interesting. Okay
SARAH: Unless the grass is like poison or something, but that's not a usual thing
KAYLA: Yeah, I think we should romanticize not speaking. I think we should romanticize just staying silent. I think currently what's romanticized is people that like have a lot of opinions and are like, oh I'm going to like read my poetry to you and like here's all of my ideas and I don't care
SARAH: No offense to anyone who writes poetry, but like you really need people's consent
KAYLA: You cannot just be like… it's like when you know, like when a guy whips out a guitar whatever you just like we have to be in the proper setting to be reading aloud
SARAH: I have some friends who write poetry and it's lovely and wonderful but they don't force you to read it without consent and that's because they respect you
KAYLA: Yeah. So, I think we should just really romanticize like instead of being like, oh my god, that person never talks they're so shy like what's wrong with them? I think we should be like they're so cool and mysterious I have no idea what's going on over there
SARAH: Exactly.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: You know to that end something I had written down. I'm just going to jump ahead a bit I think we should romanticize active listening.
KAYLA: Mm-hmm
SARAH: Just you know be like, oh my God, like they're such a good active listener. Like everyone wants to be like them. They never speak and they listen so well
KAYLA: Never speak. It's a little scary, but I'm into it
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: I think we should romanticize being stinky
SARAH: Okay
KAYLA: Because… Listen the earth is dying. Okay, and we're using too many resources such as water
SARAH: Right. So, this is about saving the earth. This is about environmentalism?
KAYLA: Yeah, not about my disdain for showering which everyone should be doing less
SARAH: Mm-hmm.
KAYLA: So, I think instead of it being like oh my gosh that person smells they look kind of dirty like they're not very cleanly. Ooh, I have the Ick, we should be like, oh my God…
SARAH: They love the earth
KAYLA: Actually, they’re like crunchy granola. They love the earth. They're one with Mother Nature
SARAH: Mm-hmm.
KAYLA: They're their true selves
SARAH: Like that's the goddess Gaya slash Gaia.
KAYLA: Yeah, this is… This is what we were… how humans were supposed to be so dirty and stinky
SARAH: Yeah, do you think cave people were taking showers? No…
KAYLA: God did not…
SARAH: They didn’t fucking have showers
KAYLA: God didn't invent deodorant. Okay? We did and he hates that.
SARAH: Yeah. He fucking hates all the shit we invented.
KAYLA: That's why the French don't wear deodorant to be closer to God
SARAH: God hates the polio vaccine. God hates everything humanity has created
KAYLA: Okay, but the polio vaccine was an accident or is that penicillin?
SARAH: An accident?
KAYLA: Which one was an accident?
SARAH: Polio, I believe polio was on purpose because it was the University of Michigan
KAYLA: Oh, I think it was penicillin that was an accident, right? Weren't they trying to do something else?
SARAH: I don't know. I've never had penicillin because I may or may not be allergic to it
KAYLA: Penicillin accident
SARAH: If it wasn't created as an accident, you could get some very interesting responses
KAYLA: It was an accident.
SARAH: It was an accident?
KAYLA: He was just doing something… He returned from a holiday to find mold growing and then he was like mm, if we ate this mold we wouldn't be sick anymore
SARAH: Dude early humans were fucking crazy and that's not even that early. That's like somewhat recently but like…
KAYLA: The 1920s, that's crazy.
SARAH: Just like the shit that people would do, they would be like, oh, actually
KAYLA: It was mm, mm
SARAH: Mm, delicious
KAYLA: And so, see if we were a little dirtier and we were like Alexander Fleming and we were willing to eat a little mold and be a little fucking gross maybe we would have solved everything by now.
SARAH: We could also die from the mold but it's a risk we have to be willing to take
KAYLA: Hush. We need less of us anyway, okay? It’s too many humans on the earth.
SARAH: Um, I think related to Mr. Fleming. Was he a doctor? Was he just a …
KAYLA: Yes, he was a doctor.
SARAH: Okay, dr. Fleming. Dr. Mr. Fleming. Mr. Dr. Fleming. I think we should romanticize molecular biology, not for me, but for like someone else
KAYLA: Not for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
SARAH: Like it's not my romanticized…
KAYLA: Is there… do you have a reason or?
SARAH: I mean, I think it's probably pretty important.
KAYLA: Okay. Sure.
SARAH: What next?
KAYLA: Yours are all just so bad like I've truly had to sit here and think about why we should romanticize all of the things you're offering like I’m really not taking…
SARAH: I’ve skipped over some of the ones that make more sense
KAYLA: I'm really like… I'm not taking your word on any of this, I'm really sitting here and thinking about whether I too think we should romanticize these things
SARAH: I could see it in your eyes when I said grass, but…
KAYLA: Yeah, I was…
SARAH: When I went to the explanation, you were on board
KAYLA: Yeah, I got it, but at first, I was like this is nothing
SARAH: Actually, actually I want to know that we actually especially in places that are facing drought such as Southern California we should actually not be romanticizing grass because they… a lot of water?
KAYLA: Well, you should be romanticizing not showering.
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: Because then you can get the grass back
SARAH: Um, I think maybe in Southern California instead of saying touch grass. We should start saying touch a succulent
KAYLA: Hmm, or touch the dregs of water in the LA River
[00:20:00]
SARAH: Touch a palm… Touch the concrete wall of the LA River
KAYLA: Every time we drove over it she was like, there's the river and it wasn't wet. It was just…
SARAH: It’s just concrete walls
KAYLA: It's just an empty hole. It’s crazy
SARAH: I love America.
KAYLA: Um, I think we should romanticize taking our medication
SARAH: That's on my list too
KAYLA: I think that sometimes people are like, oh I actually think I'm going to romanticize being mentally ill because it's like oh, I'm edgy and mentally ill but actually that's nothing and bad and instead we should romanticize take your meds by saying “oh meal prep” every time we…
SARAH: Meal prep
KAYLA: Put our weekly meds in our little container
SARAH: I don't have a little container, but I still call it meal prepping
KAYLA: I know. I have a little container, but currently…
SARAH: I have so many pills every day that it…
KAYLA: I know. Currently I am running out of meds because I missed when I was supposed to pick them up from CVS
SARAH: Oh no, how mentally ill of you?
KAYLA: And they said we don't… and literally it's two blocks away and I just couldn't do it. And I kept ignoring their texts so then I had to type in the CVS website and say please give me some more and they're processing my order and I didn't… I'll be honest, take my meds for a couple days because I was like I'm trying to space them out just in case things get crazy but then I had two nights of crazy dreams and I said I have to get back on these meds. This is getting crazy
SARAH: Yeah, I was going to say bestie remember when you thought you had ADHD and then you… they said you didn't have ADHD and then you were talking to the person and you were like, well, why is this happening? And then they discovered that you weren't taking your meds consistently and they were like, well, maybe
KAYLA: This is true. However, I'd also like to point out that my therapist still thinks I should have gotten a diagnosis, so
SARAH: That's valid, but you also should take your meds
KAYLA: But… anyway
SARAH: If I don't take my meds I get very anxious about it, which is ironic if I skip the anxiety ones
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: None of my meds are filled at the same time anymore. It's so annoying
KAYLA: The problem is I've just like convinced myself that like it's okay, and it's… in my head. I'm like oh, they have such a long half-life and I've taken it for ten years, so there's got to be enough built up in my system. There's not. That's not it. It's literally nothing, if that's how it worked I wouldn't be here, anyway
SARAH: It was like me when I discovered I should start taking my Adderall on weekends because it works.
KAYLA: Yeah, that was crazy
SARAH: Anyway, I think we should romanticize your relationship with your pet, have a little picnic together like have a tea party in you're prettiest dresses, I don't care if you have a dog and a guana, a horse a fish a giant panda that the Chinese government is insisting you return to them because the loan period is over make it work for you
KAYLA: I saw a really funny TikTok about how the pandas are going to get back to China and the Chinese zookeepers they're going to start talking to them in Chinese and they're going to be like, huh?
SARAH: The fuck is this
KAYLA: Because they don't… they've weren't born there
SARAH: I think some of them might speak Spanish actually
KAYLA: A lot of times… I… well, at least with like service dogs I know that they train them in different languages so that they don't get all fucked up
SARAH: I think a lot of times they do it in German. I just meant like if they're from the San Diego Zoo.
KAYLA: Oh, perhaps they know Spanish.
SARAH: They might know Spanish
KAYLA: Perhaps
SARAH: They have giant pandas in the San Diego Zoo? They must, it's a big zoo.
KAYLA: I mean San Diego Zoo is like an iconic zoo
SARAH: It's like the zoo
KAYLA: Yeah, they must have at least one panda.
SARAH: I feel like you're not supposed to have just one
KAYLA: Yeah, don't get sad. I'm sad. We're losing the pandas
SARAH: I like how it was like a diplomatic like you get these pandas for 50 years and then we'll take them back
KAYLA: Well, and then they couldn't extend it
SARAH: You will… you will breed them and we will…
KAYLA: But they… they could have extended it and then they were like, no, we’re mad at America, which I’m like…
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: We do suck but like… the pandas didn’t do anything
SARAH: The pandas?
KAYLA: For you to rehome them.
SARAH: I mean generally I think zoos are bad.
KAYLA: Yes, but not all zoos some zoos are like rehabilitation centers
SARAH: Hashtag not all zoos. Those who are like rehabilitation and like whatever and like this animal cannot be released back into the wild, I'm totally cool with that.
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: But the ones where it's like, hey…
KAYLA: No, I don't like a zoo for a zoo sake
SARAH: Want to see a captive monkey that's perfectly fine and…
KAYLA: Right
SARAH: Want to see a captive polar bear. We're in San Diego. It's hot
KAYLA: No, it's true. There can't just be a zoo for a zoo sake the animals have to be there for a reason
SARAH: Like I remember when the Detroit Zoo got rid of their elephants because it was too cold for them and they just like weren't doing well. My sister was really upset because she really liked elephants as a child and then the Detroit Zoo got rid of the elephants which was the right thing to do? But…
KAYLA: They didn't consult Emily
SARAH: Really heartbreaking for my sister as a child. Anyway, that was mine, it's your turn.
KAYLA: Oh, um. Well, I just don't think we shouldn't romanticize zoos, but that's not what we're doing.
SARAH: Yeah, we're doing things we should romanticize
KAYLA: We’re doing things we should
SARAH: We should romanticize the opposite of zoos, which is jails for people. We should not romanticize that at all, or fucking… what's it called? What's the system called? That's really bad?
KAYLA: Prison
SARAH: Prison industrial complex, very bad. We should not be… Whoa, shutdown. What are you doing? Yeah, you were doing some shit on your desk and as a result I was just saying shit and my brain shut down.
KAYLA: Yeah, sorry. I think we should romanticize
SARAH: I think we should romanticize on one hand central AC but on the other hand also fireplaces.
KAYLA: Literally the thing I was going to say was fire and then I was like that's nothing
SARAH: Well, if it's one man's nothing is another man's word vomit
KAYLA: I feel like central AC is already very romanticized at least by me who desperately wants it in my room
SARAH: In the Lord's America yeah in Europe though or like in a lot of other countries they're convinced that AC makes you sick
KAYLA: How would it do that? It's just the air
SARAH: It doesn't. It does not but there is some evidence that if it's better circulated they might be circulating germs more like if it's if it's circulated but not well ventilated they might be circulating more germs which might explain why some people might get sick more often, but like there's not really actually any AC that makes you sick
KAYLA: But couldn't that be the same if you just don't have a well circulated home?
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: You don't have AC, that's… couldn't it just be the same
SARAH: Or if you use a fucking fan in a poorly circulated home. Yes.
KAYLA: Wait. Yeah that's… You're just blowing your germs around
SARAH: Listen, I don't know what the Europeans are on, they are against this shit, but this is America, rah what the fuck is a kilometer?
KAYLA: Oh my God
SARAH: Um, I think we should romanticize having a harmless little arch nemesis
KAYLA: I agree, I have so many…
SARAH: Kayla did not question that, she was on board immediately
KAYLA: I have so many nemeses in my life and they really… some of them are really just what keeps me going
SARAH: It has got to be… it has got to be like harmless. It can't be like someone who like killed your brother.
KAYLA: Oh
SARAH: You don't have a brother or is this oh did you…
KAYLA: Imagine if I kept my dead brother from you this whole time? That would be crazy
SARAH: That'd be wild. I would have to reconsider our entire relationship
KAYLA: Everything. Okay, what… where's the line where it's like becomes not harmless that like what's the worst they can do that's still harmless, I'm trying to figure out if my nemeses are harmless or not.
SARAH: I don't know
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: I think if you have a nemesis who like did something that was really bad I'm not saying to not have a nemesis not have that nemesis. I'm just saying you shouldn't romanticize having that nemesis
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: I think we should I think we should only be romanticizing like the silly less consequential ones like this guy always fucking cuts in line in front of me at the coffee shop, I hate him
KAYLA: I have news and that news is that I romanticize every nemesis I have
SARAH: Mm-hmm
KAYLA: Big or small
SARAH: You do you bestie
KAYLA: Thanks. Probably not good, but… They're also like proven to always be bad people though. I just want to put this out there. Every nemesis I've had…
SARAH: I believe you
KAYLA: Has been certified proven by higher powers to be bad people
SARAH: Which higher powers?
KAYLA: HR
SARAH: I don't know that I trust HR
KAYLA: But you have to because there's legal recourse for firing someone
SARAH: I'm sorry. I've never worked at a company with real HR
KAYLA: That's fair, but they can't just fire anyone like there's a very specific process they have to go through.
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: So
SARAH: You know, at first when you said HR like I thought you meant like metaphorical HR
KAYLA: No
SARAH: Like I thought you meant like God was HR. Incredible
KAYLA: Previous places I've worked at they fired people
SARAH: That's why I was like well, how do you know HR is right? because I was thinking HR was God but no, but HR is HR
[00:30:00]
KAYLA: Because I was there, so
SARAH: I just don't think it's healthy to be… I think… I think it becomes dangerous when you're romanticizing having a nemesis.
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: Like I think that's a real problem
KAYLA: Yes, you shouldn't have a goal to have a nemesis. you shouldn't be like who is going to be my nemesis.
SARAH: Like you don't want a fucking nemesis, do you?
KAYLA: Well
SARAH: Okay
KAYLA: You're speaking to the wrong lady, I’m so sorry
SARAH: I think we should romanticize wearing fancy gloves and hats, not for me, maybe I'll wear gloves
KAYLA: Once again, not for her
SARAH: I don't want to have gloves
KAYLA: An interesting thing about wearing gloves is that I recently learned from a true crime podcast, it's a great way of way to steal watches, you just slip up your glove
SARAH: Mm
KAYLA: So
SARAH: Okay.
KAYLA: I think we should romanticize taking pictures which I think is maybe already very romanticized however, I think we should do it more because sometimes I think back and I'm like, oh I should have done more pictures
SARAH: Mm-hmm.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: I take pictures of the randomest shit
KAYLA: Yeah, like me
SARAH: Yeah. My entire fucking October Photo dump this month was just full of Kayla.
KAYLA: I mean I was there for like a week
SARAH: I think we should romanticize calling it rouge instead of blush.
KAYLA: No
SARAH: Okay, I think we should romanticize gumption
KAYLA: No
SARAH: Okay, I think we should romanticize fruit snacks. I had three packs of them before this
KAYLA: This I will allow, what are your thoughts on Scooby snacks
SARAH: Like Scooby-Doo fruit snacks?
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: They're the fucking best ones, the blue ones, ooh. Yes
KAYLA: Someone came to our house for Halloween and he was dressed as shaggy so he had Scooby snacks means giving them out and I didn't manage to get any
SARAH: What's the fucking point?
KAYLA: I don't, I know… I'm… yeah, I could have had a blue one and I fucking missed out. Oh, so sad
SARAH: The blue ones are the only ones that are opaque
KAYLA: I know
SARAH: Opaque means you can't see through it, right?
KAYLA: Yes.
SARAH: I always fuck it up
KAYLA: I've come up with the best one.
SARAH: Okay
KAYLA: We have to be romanticizing grocery store sushi. Listen…
SARAH: You had me until sushi.
KAYLA: I… you don't like sushi. So, this isn't for you. However, listen, I hear what you're saying. Kayla, it's gross Kayla, it's not fresh fish. I don't care, okay?
SARAH: I'm not here for fresh fish.
KAYLA: I'm not, it's $10 for like three times the amount of sushi you would get for ten dollars at a sushi restaurant and…
SARAH: Because it's not fresh
KAYLA: Sure, I guess and it's two steps away from my house because I live next to the grocery store and it just makes you when you have real sushi that is fresh, it makes you even more like oh my gosh this is so good because you remember what real sushi is like, so it makes you grateful
SARAH: Because it’s shit?
KAYLA: It's not shit. It's like average and then you get to go have like fresh sushi from a fancy restaurant that's really expensive as a treat and you get to be like, oh what a nice treat I'm so thankful but also when I have nothing to eat for lunch I can just go spend ten bucks and be full and happy because it's yummy.
SARAH: I think, like genuinely we should romanticize doing errands because otherwise
KAYLA: You're not going to do them
SARAH: I'm not going to do them.
KAYLA: Yeah, maybe we had romanticized errands…
SARAH: I need to get in my head that like oh my god
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Like, you know how like when you first become, “become an adult” like you go to college and you're like, oh my god I'm going to the grocery store to go grocery shopping, like that needs to continue
KAYLA: Yeah, if errands are romanticized I probably would have picked up my meds on time because I would have been like look at me walking and really I have…
SARAH: Two birds one stone
KAYLA: I have no excuse not to because I live in a walkable city.
SARAH: I fucking don’t
KAYLA: So, I should romanticize everything, I should be able to be like remember when I grew up in a farm town that sucked and there was nothing to do and now I can just walk two blocks to CVS. This is amazing, but I don't
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: No excuse
SARAH: I wish I lived in a walkable city
KAYLA: Um, I'm over here.
SARAH: I can walk to…
KAYLA: Come through
SARAH: The gas station
KAYLA: In the superior tunnel
SARAH: I can walk to the post office
KAYLA: You can
SARAH: But often I don't want to because it's hot
KAYLA: Yeah, you should move
SARAH: I can walk to the Ballot drop box. It's by the library that's usually closed
KAYLA: Hmm
SARAH: I can walk to the library, that doesn't mean it'll be open.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: I've never actually been inside
KAYLA: We have… there's two libraries, like the same library different branches like equidistant from my house like so close to each other. I don't know what they were thinking
SARAH: We have three of the same Mexican restaurant and when me and Kayla went to that Mexican restaurant we had us… because they we were all exactly equidistant from all three of them so we were like which one should we fucking go to?
KAYLA: And Sarah picked the one with the best parking and then they had a 12-foot skeleton inside and it was wild
SARAH: It had eyes that moved
KAYLA: It was crazy
SARAH: Anyway
KAYLA: And they had two more skeletons, it was so wild.
SARAH: I think we should romanticize the time before the Catholic Church changed cup to chalice nothing else about the Catholic Church should be romanticized, but just that, just cup versus chalice and also with you and with your spirit, eat my ass.
KAYLA: Oh
SARAH: You know
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: I have thoughts
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: About the changes made to the Catholic Church when I was in like middle school
KAYLA: No, we were older than that
SARAH: We were in high school?
KAYLA: Yeah, I think so.
SARAH: Okay.
KAYLA: I don’t know. I think that… I think that we should romanticize a little nap because it has recently come to my attention That a lot of adults don't nap as much as I do
SARAH: Napping is so good…
KAYLA: Which is strange.
SARAH: It's crazy because Hank Green had cancer he was napping and apparently like before that he never napped
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: And I was like you're missing out girl.
KAYLA: I recently was talking to someone and he like very just like bluntly to an entire room was like do you guys ever pull an all-dayer? Like where you don't nap and he was so serious. Like it was such a crazy thing to him that that was a regular occurrence that people all-dayers like he was so serious
SARAH: Oh man, an all-dayer, remarkable
KAYLA: But I think… I just meet so many adults that are like, oh I never nap. It's not for me and I'm like there's entire countries that they shut down the country.
SARAH: Yes, that time
KAYLA: And I told that to one of my friends and she said oh that sounds like a great time to steal things
SARAH: What is this? The purge
KAYLA: She loves to do a steal
SARAH: Jesus Christ
KAYLA: Not from a store from like her friends she always steals something when she comes to our house
SARAH: What? Just to feel something?
KAYLA: Yeah for… yeah for the thrill of it. Yeah
SARAH: Okay Um, I think we should romanticize Steve from Blues Clues not Joe because I don't know him I think there's has been another guy. There's been another guy.
KAYLA: Yes. There's three I think
SARAH: Yeah, but Steve, I think we should romanticize
KAYLA: Who loves that guy?
SARAH: I think we should romanticize regular vaccinations
KAYLA: Mm-hmm.
SARAH: I think we should romanticize the OG YouTube video muffins.
KAYLA: Oh, man. That's a good one. I feel like we got really close to romanticizing vaccines like when everyone got their Covid vaccines and like their first booster everyone was like boasting…
SARAH: Ouchie, ouchie
KAYLA: And was like oh my gosh, look. But then they kind of dropped off like I feel like, you know what I have seen recently though?
SARAH: Mm-hmm
KAYLA: You know what's being… what is actively being romanticized and we should continue is donating blood. There's been a couple like collaborations with the Red Cross and like some random brand like there was a Snoopy one where if you went and donated blood you got this like really cute Snoopy t-shirt and the amount of people I saw that were like I'm going to give blood for the first time because I have to have this shirt.
SARAH: Yeah, I should try and give blood again and see if they let me
KAYLA: I've never… I tried in high school and I couldn't but I haven't tried since so I really should try
SARAH: I'm one for four, baby.
KAYLA: Dean has the good blood so they're always calling him and being like can I have some? I don't know what blood type I am. I don't know
SARAH: I'm O-pos, that was one of the main reasons I gave blood for the first time was because I wanted to know what type of blood I had.
KAYLA: I wonder if it's in my chart. Hold on. Oh boy.
SARAH: I… see, the four times I attempted to give blood before it was when I was breaking from home. So, it was a lot easier.
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Just like fucking leave. Do it.
KAYLA: I remember in college we used to do like our school and our rival school would do like a blood battle which like which school can give the most blood, I never did
SARAH: Yeah, and I never gave blood because I was very possessive over my own blood but we've moved past that, we're very brave.
KAYLA: How did I find what blood type I am? health reports? Health summary
SARAH: Girl, I don’t know what you’re doing…
KAYLA: I think we should romanticize... Oh, no, I just had it
SARAH: In Korea your blood type is seen as a personality indicator…
KAYLA: Sensory processing difficulty, oh is that in my chart?
SARAH: Live, we go through Chart, her fucking medical chart to find out what she didn't know about
[00:40:00]
KAYLA: Who said that? I mean, I definitely said that, I definitely told them that and it's true. But hey
SARAH: Have you seen that TikTok where this guy like saw his chart for the first time and he was like, “excuse me, why did the doctor put me at high risk for homosexual activity?”
KAYLA: Not the high risk
SARAH: Okay. Well, people did say that like a lot of times they'll do that if you are at higher risk for like getting HIV
KAYLA: Yeah
SARAH: Like they will flag that but the way it went… the way it was raised
KAYLA: I mean, I need a pap smear, gross, I hate those
SARAH: Can we move on?
KAYLA: No, I have to find…
SARAH: I’m O-positive
KAYLA: But I got my blood taken last time I was there. So, like it has to be in here somewhere
SARAH: Well, if you give blood, the Red Cross will tell you what you have. Um, I think we should romanticize the last time your preferred sports team was good, it they've never been good be optimistic, romanticize the future if you don't like sports, okay
KAYLA: The Lions are like being good kind of, can you believe that?
SARAH: Easy. I think we should romanticize those little ice cream cups with a wooden stick for a spoon…
KAYLA: No
SARAH: Because God knows they need the help because they always taste a little like wood
KAYLA: They're bad, like the ice cream is okay, but you… this…
SARAH: But it tastes like wood?
KAYLA: Because they only taste wood, it's terrible
SARAH: Um, I think we should romanticize the time before you were forced to be aware of the uses of Ben Shapiro if um, you didn't know until now, I'm so sorry
KAYLA: I think we should romanticize Home Depot because…
SARAH: They're homophobic.
KAYLA: I know
SARAH: It sucks
KAYLA: But maybe…
SARAH: We got a great song for them
KAYLA: Because if we don't romanticize them enough, maybe we can fix them because… and here's the thing, is that they used to do hot dogs
SARAH: Yeah
KAYLA: And so, you would go with your dad…
SARAH: And they got those buckets
KAYLA: I…
SARAH: You know what my dad would do? He would take us into the toilet seat aisle and he would make them talk and me and my sister found that so fucking funny
KAYLA: So stupid. My dad would just go or whatever and I'd be like fine I'll go too and then I got to get a hot dog and a bag of chips and it's literally the best tasting hot dog I’ve ever had
SARAH: Really smooth floors, really good floors.
KAYLA: Yeah, Costco floors too, it feels good in there, smells good in there
SARAH: Good floors
KAYLA: Yeah, but I can't do Costco because of my sensory processing issues. I can't do Costco
SARAH: My sister would always wear her heelys to Costco. Um…
KAYLA: Nice
SARAH: Like I think we should romanticize the time that Lauren Boebert got kicked out of Beetlejuice the musical for vaping, talking loudly and doing hand stuff
KAYLA: That was the video?
SARAH: It was September
KAYLA: That video is bananas like…
SARAH: Lauren Boebert is a current representative in the United States House of Representatives. She represents Colorado…
KAYLA: A grown woman
SARAH: I think we should romanticize the time earlier today when I had for some reason thought it was Marjorie Taylor Green who had done that, which I think would have been a little funnier
KAYLA: Hmm, I don't know who… do I know who that is?
SARAH: I think we should romanticize the time when Kayla didn't know who Marjorie Taylor Green was because the… it's uh, what a better time, this piece of shit
KAYLA: I mean, maybe I do
SARAH: MTG, she's blonde.
KAYLA: They're all blonde.
SARAH: She does CrossFit
KAYLA: Okay, everyone that does CrossFit is blonde that doesn't help
SARAH: I think we should romanticize the time when you were a child and you literally didn't know what politics was yet
KAYLA: Yeah, that was cool
SARAH: I think we should romanticize Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
KAYLA: Huh?
SARAH: Okay, so there are these stickers
KAYLA: Mm-hmm
SARAH: And on them, they say, Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg. Which means? It's nice here, but have you ever been to Baden-Württemberg? Which is a… which is a state in Germany. It's where I lived when I was there. Um, and it's unclear if this was like an actual serious ad campaign or if it was… it was a meme from the jump but um, they would give away those stickers for free and then people would try and stick them in the wildest places they could so you'd be in like Malta and you'd see a sticker that says Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
KAYLA: That’s wild
SARAH: And there's like an Instagram dedicated to like all the most obscure places like…
KAYLA: Do you think there's one in Antarctica?
SARAH: At the fucking top of a bridge? Uh, where would they yeah...
KAYLA: Yeah, like in the labs, there's this guy I follow…
SARAH: At first, I was like, on the ice?
KAYLA: No. There's this guy I follow on TikTok that like works and lives at like the lab and you know people live there for like months or years, whatever and it's crazy.
SARAH: Yeah. Um, so I think we should romanticize that and I think we should romanticize the oxford comma, I think we should romanticize the word diphthong and finally, I think we should romanticize your college loans or any other debt you have solely so that maybe they don't seem so scary
KAYLA: Mm-hmm. I think romanticizing scary things unless they're like scary dangerous things.
SARAH: Yeah Well, I would say…
KAYLA: Because they should scary.
SARAH: I would say that predatory loans are dangerous, but
KAYLA: Yeah, I guess. Okay, don't romanticize them before you get them, don't be like, oh my God. I wish I had a loan, only romanticize after it happens
SARAH: Exactly
KAYLA: Till you get copable
SARAH: Copable
KAYLA: Yep. I'm sleepy, it's midnight
SARAH: What's our poll for this week? I'm done
KAYLA: Thank God, um, what should we romanticize?
SARAH: What should we romanticize? I think a follow-up question, Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
KAYLA: I don't know how to spell that.
SARAH: I'll send it to you.
KAYLA: Are you… Nope
SARAH: Have you considered…
KAYLA: What are our… what are our options?
SARAH: Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
KAYLA: No, next, next
SARAH: Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg, Lauren Boubert doing hand stuff in Beetle Juice
KAYLA: I'm not writing that
SARAH: Um. Your relationship with your pet, shutting the fuck up, cleaning up litter…
KAYLA: We never said that
SARAH: What was the one about garbage?
KAYLA: Just picking up litter
SARAH: Yeah, that's what I just said
KAYLA: You know when you said that, I was thinking of cat litter and I was like, we never talked about cleaning the cat litter
SARAH: There's nothing in your brain, right?
KAYLA: That's so wild. I just… I heard… that’s so crazy that they're the same word, I'm so tired dog.
SARAH: And finally, gumption
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: Oh, I thought you were going to say no that
KAYLA: I'm tired. I just want to be done. You could say anything except for your German shit
SARAH: The oxford comma
KAYLA: It's over. I wrote them down.
SARAH: Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
KAYLA: No
SARAH: Kayla, what's your beef and your juice this week?
KAYLA: My beef is that I’ve just been very busy, like I feel like for the past two weeks I just keep having things go on and I… but I like to just sit on my couch and do nothing, but I haven't really gotten the opportunity to do that
SARAH: Unfortunately
KAYLA: Which is stinky, my juice is I was supposed to have some plans next week but then they were canceled and there's nothing I love more than canceled plans and it's giving me like two to three days of my life back
SARAH: Wow, so that's a big canceled plan
KAYLA: So, huge, huge, so that's a juice. My other juice is this shirt that Sarah got me. I posted it on my Instagram today Thursday if you didn't see it, it's um…
SARAH: It's Wednesday.
KAYLA: Well for me, it's Thursday
SARAH: But you posted it on Wednesday.
KAYLA: I just looked at the top of my computer. And it said Thursday. How would you describe this? It's like one of those like 90s shirts where like there's a or like 80s where there's a bunch of Pictures and texts.
SARAH: I want you guys to just look up, thatsmydawg, D-a-w-g.
KAYLA: Yeah, on Instagram
SARAH: And that is who makes them
KAYLA: Yeah, um, so it's basically just pictures of my cats with some large word art and I just… Dean came upstairs today and dropped a package on my desk while I was working and I said I didn't order this but at this point like sometimes I get random packages from work that I’m not expecting, sometimes I get… so, it truly could be from anyone. So, I was like, what is this and I opened it and I said, oh my God
SARAH: I was very good and brave and didn't give any indication that it was coming
KAYLA: You didn't that was… because the last random thing you gave me you told me that you got me something.
SARAH: I ordered it before you were in LA.
KAYLA: Oh my gosh, you kept it a secret for so long.
SARAH: I know, I'm so brave.
KAYLA: You're very brave. So, I'm going to die in this shirt now and I’m never going to take it off and everyone is very jealous of it, so.
SARAH: Stinky babies
KAYLA: Stinky babies.
SARAH: I would definitely recommend buying shit from his company though. My guy Diego was so nice
KAYLA: I love that
SARAH: I was… the original design. I was like, hey, actually, can you switch this thing? He was like, yeah, bro. He was like, I love these pictures. They're so funny
KAYLA: Do you think that they would do pictures that aren't pets at all?
SARAH: You could ask
KAYLA: Do you think I could just do pictures of myself?
SARAH: I mean I think you have to ask now
KAYLA: Because here's the thing, is I've seen shirts like this before on TikTok but people make them on Etsy and I've seen girls will just do like funny or hot pictures of them and then their name on it and they'll give it to their boyfriends
SARAH: Well, it's like a band musical artist shirt.
KAYLA: Yes
SARAH: Like it's like that vibe
KAYLA: Yeah. So, I've seen it before where people make them with just pictures of themselves and then they give it to someone they're like you have to wear my face now. So, I’m like but I want this company to do it because they did such a good job so could I just send them pictures of me?
[00:50:00]
SARAH: Ask
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: My beef is my back. I think I fucked it up.
KAYLA: I'm shocked.
SARAH: I'm not going to elaborate because it will trigger me.
KAYLA: Okay
SARAH: My juice is that um, so my cousin who is not my cousin, he's my dad's cousin's child um who a couple years ago she dressed up as a pine cone for Halloween, this is a child
KAYLA: She is my everything
SARAH: I'm a child
KAYLA: I’m her biggest fan
SARAH: This year for Halloween, she dressed up as her own father
KAYLA: Didn't she also have a snake themed birthday party?
SARAH: She had a snake themed third birthday party.
KAYLA: I am this child's biggest fan
SARAH: Um, but this year she dressed up as her father and then of course they were wearing matching outfits, her father is bald. So, she had a bald cap
KAYLA: Oh. I didn't realize that, I saw the picture, I didn't realize she had a bald cap
SARAH: Oh there's, I… I… uh, there was another picture that I didn't see at first because my sister did a bad job
KAYLA: Wow
SARAH: Sending us the important information. I'll send it to you. I didn't realize at first either that she had a bald cap, but…
KAYLA: It’s so funny
SARAH: So good. Anyway, yeah, that's my beef and my juice
KAYLA: Good
SARAH: Imagine I have to go to a fucking sports medicine doctor
KAYLA: What are you saying right now? Oh, for your back, oaky. That’d be funny, that’d be really funny
SARAH: I actually do have the name of one in LA from my old one, so
KAYLA: Good
SARAH: But hey, I'm off my parents’ fucking insurance. Anyway, you can tell us about your beef, your juice…
KAYLA: Oh, she’s bald
SARAH: Yeah. My sister went for Halloween one time as a Charlie Brown, she wore a bald cap.
KAYLA: That's good.
SARAH: I was Snoopy. Okay. You can tell us about your beef, your juice, your local child and the strange thing they dressed up as for Halloween on our social media @soundsfakepod. Rosie, the dog was a ghost that she didn't like it, Sadie, was an old lady
KAYLA: That was very funny, I didn’t see that. One of my friends was passing out Candy yesterday, which was Halloween for us and he said that on two different occasions they would ask the kid like who are you as in their costume…
SARAH: Yeah, what’s their costume
KAYLA: And the kids would just go, they would go, I'm grace, oh wait, I'm… they were just like, oh who am? I'm Sally, like ma'am, not your name, idiot, kids are so stupid
SARAH: Did you see that video of that kid trick-or-treating that would just go into people's houses?
KAYLA: I saw that today, she like tripped through the door. They opened the door and they're like, hi she just walks in and then trips and falls on her face.
SARAH: Yeah, and then the parents were like, whoa, wait, what are you doing?
