Vereena has got to be one of thee most beautiful humans I have ever seen. Stunning. Her bone structure shouldn’t even be real. It’s so visually pleasing. Like so symmetrical. Damn.
Hey Esther, I’ve gone through this recently and this is what helped me. A friend I spoke to recently said this: “Your mom just doesn’t want to feel alone in her misery. She wants to have people around her that hate your dad the same amount that she does.” What my friend said made me realize that my mom wasn’t being fair with my siblings and I. She suddenly wants to change the image that we have of our dad, when she spent years protecting that same image. And although I can acknowledge all the bad things my dad did to my mom mentally over the years when she tells us about them, I don’t think that I should carry the burden of those negative emotions as well. I do let my dad know whenever I get the chance that he has messed up and that what he did was not okay. So without trying to be disrespectful to my mom, I came to the conclusion that it was my mom who decided to hide her true emotions and discontent with her marriage for so many years. Everyone makes their own choices and people have to take accountability for what comes from it. I just think your mom is feeling very lonely. Make sure you guys check on her and remind her how loved she is. But she should know that all of this negative energy and contradicting statements are hurting you guys. Please take care of yourself and voice your thoughts with the people you trust when you get the chance. Mental health is so important and needs to be addressed more often. I hope this helped by giving you someone else’s response to a similar situation. Take care🤍
Similar thing with my parents and their divorce recently. My mom was even dragging our neighbors into it. I never thought about it the way your friend articulated it. Which is why I eventually confronted my father about it and learned that BOTH of them messed up but chose to protect my image of my mother.
Fire ep, really nice interactions with the guest, who is so well-spoken. Glad to see the cast carrying even though Wootak is yet to come back. Really great to see everyone giving question alerts instead of cutting ppl off or talking over others ❤
Hearing Esther’s story about finding about her parents struggles remind me of my parent’s divorce alot. The flip side is that my mom made it known while I still lived with them lol AND let the neighbors, family members and friends know. Until I finally left the house and graduated college, I talked to my Dad about it because while not being a good husband, I could never say he was a bad father. So I listened to his side of the story and it unlocked an old memory of an argument they had that provided evidence to the dirt he had on my mom. He only prevented it from coming out to protect my image of my mother. Also have to respect my mom for at least admitting that she did wrong too. At the end of the day not only marriage is tough but being the child in the middle of a bad one is especially.
I liked the part where they talked abt helping homeless people, but I think Jeremy need to think a little bit more about how he talks about it, people may be there for the “freebies” but addiction is a disease, as a 18 year old recently recovered addict there is way more into it, I was privileged to have the resources like therapy to get better specially in a country like mine (Brasil). Sometimes you just don’t want to get better because you don’t want to live anymore, but everybody desserves the chance to get better.
damn esther that’s literally the same thing for my siblings n I it started when we were young af they were never married but always “co parented” my moms a different story tho like she’s valid for having the emotions she does ofc but venting to my siblings n I about her experience or pov isn’t W energy so actually hella people who knew my dad in the area we lived knew of him & would talk shit about my dad like they would ask me “whose ur parents?” & then when i said my dads name they’d be like “oh ur -blanks- kid?… ur dad did this that & the other- hope u don’t turn out like him” because we’re from the navajo reservation in Az so EVERYONE gossips like it’s embarrassing 💀 but anywho i hate that those dumbies don’t even think about their impact with the words they say leave on individuals especially young ass kids who love their parents like it’s straight up trauma & that hella fucks up their relationship with our dad like in all honesty yes he fucked up but that’s not towards me or my siblings it’s towards other people so it’s not like our place to judge him or see him as his mistakes i agree with Eddie because it is up to the parents to be mature enough to know how messed up it is to mess with their kids mindsets towards their parents
Timing on Marriage and all that couldn’t be more perfect. Currently going through a 6 yr relationship, and I have been reflecting. Going over what I did wrong, and what she did wrong.
Nobody: Me: *Viet at **14:45* clip it! As a survivor of DV I agree and it was so eloquently said. The reality of it is our parents/abusers fucked us up and left us to deal with the wounds and the scars, never taking any accountability for their actions. Considering that “forgiveness” becomes so complex but acceptance and understanding is as close as many of us will get
Viet’s dad and grandparents loved during the war. Agent Orange alone was such an atrocious thing for that country and everyone in it. Living in times of that? I’m not justifying shit but man, I can’t say I’d know who I’d be living in that…
helen keller wasnt born deaf and blind( she got scarlet fever i think) so it makes sense that she was able to understand language and attach labels to things since she did experience them at some point. idk about her flying that plan tho
man this podcast really doesn’t hit the same without Wootak istg i miss him so much, i hope he feels better eventually to reunite with the cast. #Pray4Woo
After shorty said boundaries the first time I took it upon myself to take a shot every time I heard tht word it is currently 8:30 am & im fuked up 🥴lol send help
The Spartans did have homosexual sex but it was not 'gay' as we understand it now. There wasn't romantic involvement at least socially and it was about physical domination or initiaions. I'm sure some of them were attracted to men but mostly it was not about sexuality but about power. Our understanding of homosexual sex from a place of romantic and emotional satisfaction is very modern like the last 300 years or so. Also completely changed my mind on plastic surgery after I started watching Korean drama. Good plastic surgery can make a 9/10 look like a divine being across different gender.
Bro. The tattooed one is like me. Like, i stayed throwing myself in the deep end (15ft) and struggling back to shallow (4ft). 3rd grade and set on swimming.
idk who tf hating on Esther lol, she got the perfect funny/serious ratio. Like she pops funny jokes but she can quickly get back to a serious tone when its a sensitive subject. Also not everyone can get ✨girl✨ humour, too bad for them, they missing out🤷♀
Dude next to vareena is being annoying. Be mature and hold in your laugh while she talks. If it happened once okay, but again?! The thing is the jokes aren’t even funny
I love the pod and the vibes of their friendship but am I the only one that’s wondering how did they become popular like who are they? Are they popular or famous in Asia then moved to the US or are they like the Asian Bobbi Althoff
I used to drink hot sauce out the bottle too. My grandparents told me I would always climb the counter when I was like 4 to get into the cabinet, and I'd drink straight Texas Pete like it was soda 😅
54:58 why did he say I am one of those people ?? 55:07 Did veit and Vereena date before and he cheated on her?? I am so confused can someone please explain?
Can you guys restock Nectar, please? ): I live in Oklahoma and I want to order it. But every time I check, it's sold out online... ): Don't want to have to drive far away to get some. Closest Total Wine is like 4 hours away.. ):
Yes, the Middle East is not a continent or a country is just a more specific region for a group of people which does happen to be part of Africa and Asia
Check out miss shirley if vereena or y’all are interested in someone who I personally think is doing more for the homeless community than soft white underbelly
once a week, sometimes because jeremy and wootak are company owners, ( jeremy the owner of Nectar hard seltzer, asian flavors and no after taste) ( Wootak the owner of bonsai, For hangover etc..) they would upload late but that rarely happens.
58:02 JEREMY’s biggest L. YOU are the boring and dense one lad. That’s the issue. J Cole is literally one of the greatest artists of all time and legendary. If you don’t understand his music, then you must really be 50. But even many 40-50+ year olds also love J Cole. No excuse for Jeremiah
It's crazy cuz she was out here making videos preaching girls to do this and that in their romantic lives when she never had a good relationship to begin with lmfao
