What's

0:04

that my emotional hormonal monsters?

0:08

God, isn't such to be? I I'm princess

0:10

wings. That's right.

0:12

And I'm touching bedding. And you

0:14

are listening to Meggie

0:16

potcaster one. Stop

0:18

shop. for fanning conversations, health

0:21

culture analysis, media, and all

0:23

the things we love. Each week, we're

0:25

gonna skim a surface of what's popular in geek

0:27

culture than deep dive into the lore of

0:29

a Netflix world bigger than our own.

0:31

Today, we're go

0:34

with some changes with

0:37

the season six of big mouth. Yeah.

0:40

so hype

0:42

because somehow I

0:44

just have not seen this show until

0:46

now and for It's like you're fine.

0:48

Just go right into the season. It's okay.

0:51

I'll catch you up. We're good. So I just

0:53

watched this season raw and let me

0:55

tell you it was great.

0:57

I loved it. It was amazing.

1:00

I can't wait to talk more about it. But before

1:02

we get into that, Princess, what has

1:04

got you geeked this week.

1:10

Alright, Sarlings. This is

1:12

Princess Weeks. You're getting little peek

1:14

behind the wizards curtain right now. So

1:16

my beloved tessa is

1:19

out right now and busy. So

1:21

I'm gonna have to rant at you for little

1:23

bit about what's got me get but it's okay.

1:25

Test is fine. I miss her more than you

1:27

do. I promise. But

1:30

yeah, so I'm gonna talk about what's got the geek

1:32

let's get into it. So

1:35

the first thing that's gotten me geek

1:37

this week is that I was able to see

1:39

my beloved cohost test and

1:41

editing in a live performance

1:43

of spies are forever,

1:45

which just got me super geeked

1:47

because I was like, look at my good

1:49

friends being a theater kid. It was

1:52

wonderful and fun. I

1:55

also got to go to magic thirty

1:57

this weekend. I was already in Vegas

1:59

because my friend Lindsey Ellis, her

2:02

second book came out in paper back.

2:04

and I got invited to go so I got to

2:06

just be around a lot of amazing cosplayers, a

2:09

lot of amazing sets, plays,

2:11

some commander very badly

2:13

with people. So that was

2:15

great. And then I got to rewatch

2:17

in my home with popcorn at my

2:19

own pace, Guillermo del Toro's cognitive

2:21

curiosities again. and it

2:23

was so fun to watch it

2:25

with my partner because they kept jumping

2:28

and being scared of things, especially

2:30

the lot episode. So it

2:32

was really fun to be able to

2:34

share that and the autopsy with

2:37

people. And then my

2:39

partner is not as pop culture savvy,

2:41

so she doesn't really know who Ben is.

2:44

So when Ben Barnes appears in the episode,

2:46

she just kind of like, Oh, wow. That guy is

2:48

cute. And I was like, babe, you don't

2:50

even know the half of it. You don't

2:52

even die. Alright.

2:55

And now time for Tess and I

2:57

to discuss the changes that

2:59

we are going through with

3:01

mouth.

3:02

Alright.

3:05

So we're back and let's

3:07

discuss big mouth but first, for

3:10

our our never's and ever's

3:11

who may have never seen big

3:14

mouth. It is an animated, coming

3:16

of a sitcom, created by Andrew

3:18

Goldberg,

3:18

Nick Kroll, Mark Levin

3:20

and Jennifer Flakett. It

3:23

all about these very young

3:25

teens going through changes

3:28

like puberty and it is

3:30

known for both

3:31

being very relevant

3:34

and topical and very good about

3:37

not shaming people while talking

3:39

about sex and and everything, but

3:41

also being probably the most vulgar

3:43

thing you could ever watch

3:45

with characters that look like

3:47

terrifying rugrats. Oh,

3:49

that's gross. Yeah. Exactly.

3:51

And it's -- Oh, yes. -- and it's like both

3:53

there are times where it's like I cringe

3:56

with just how realistic

3:58

and how true that they bring these emotions

4:00

to life. And then I also cringe

4:02

with how, oh my god. That was the grossest thing

4:04

I've ever seen in my entire life.

4:06

I can't turn away. So that's a big

4:09

mouth. And you got a lot of that in the sixties.

4:11

Oh, yeah. I was like, has it

4:13

always been like well, it has

4:15

always been like

4:17

this. And

4:20

Oh, man. I'm telling you now that

4:22

I've watched it. Now I wanna go back and

4:24

rewatch the other five seasons because

4:27

this was kind of one of the

4:29

most perfect shows for me because

4:31

listen, I

4:32

need some shows that I

4:34

can play in the background because

4:36

I work a lot. I have a lot of things that

4:38

I need to do. So sometimes, or

4:41

when I'm making dinner, when things are happening, and I

4:43

don't wanna listen to a podcast because

4:45

usually I listen to podcasts. But if I want something

4:47

on TV, It can't have

4:49

a heavy plot. It needs to be

4:51

like light and funny and be about

4:53

the characters and be just like put into this

4:55

situation. Put it in This

4:57

is the perfect perfect

4:59

show for that. And it's

5:01

one of those shows where it's all about the

5:03

characters. It's all about each episode

5:05

by episode. You don't have to like,

5:08

I got to just watch this in the six

5:10

season and I was fine. You know, I may have

5:12

missed a couple of jokes or something, but it's

5:14

not not something that I need

5:16

to fully give my undivided

5:18

attention where so many of these fantasy

5:20

shows or so many shows that I'm

5:22

watching these days. It's like I just have to

5:24

sit down and give it my whole ass

5:26

brain. And, bitch, I

5:28

need to relax sometimes, I need to

5:30

just enjoy it. I just need to have it

5:32

on and laugh, and this is perfect.

5:35

No. It was funny because I wrote Tessa

5:37

up like a little shoot about who's who. I

5:39

didn't have to look up anything because I was

5:41

just like, oh, yeah. This character is the

5:43

horny one. They did I thought, like, did

5:45

a very good job because you did.

5:47

But what tell me about some of your first impressions

5:50

about the show having just seen this

5:52

six season. And any particular

5:54

moments that stuck out for your ear, like, oh

5:56

my god. They did that. Because I feel

5:58

like that is that's

5:59

part of the big mouth experience. It's being

6:02

like, wow, they really did that shit. I mean,

6:04

the first thing that I just

6:06

died of laughter and loved and

6:08

it kept happening over and over were the

6:10

musical numbers. Oh, yeah. Oh

6:12

my god. because I wasn't expecting

6:14

it because again I'd never seen this. So when

6:16

they just went into a full last musical

6:18

number and it was so funny and ridiculous

6:21

and like and not just

6:23

like a little part. It was a full song.

6:25

I'm like, bless. God bless.

6:27

I love this because That's

6:29

hard. That is hard to do. That's

6:31

hard to record. So it's like

6:33

that when people do that, I

6:35

respect them. And if they do it

6:37

well, like this does, Hell yeah.

6:39

When you're gay, every

6:42

day is a nonstop Jabbering.

6:46

but you've got style and flare. You're

6:48

loved everywhere.

6:52

Ten out of ten. So that was one of the

6:55

things that I was very impressed by.

6:57

Another thing that was

6:59

just so disgusting but so

7:01

funny were just these hormone

7:03

monsters. I was like, at first I'm like, what

7:05

is this? Like, I didn't know what it was.

7:08

It took me, like, an episode, like, until

7:10

the end of the episode to be, like, oh,

7:13

I see because I was like, is this an alien? Like,

7:16

I don't know what this is.

7:17

Did someone say vagina? Oh,

7:19

no. No.

7:21

Fuck yeah. No.

7:23

way. You are not real. You're just some

7:26

hormone monster my brain

7:28

created. If I'm not real, then

7:30

how come I'm sending blood to you sweet penis

7:32

right now?

7:33

But nope. It was a hormones

7:35

which is hilarious and I

7:38

it's just such a good idea. Mhmm. It's

7:40

such a good idea. And so

7:43

Like you said, it's so vulgar. It's

7:45

so It just goes there. It

7:47

does. We're I mean,

7:49

sometimes, you think back and you're

7:51

like, damn, I didn't even like have

7:53

this conversation with my parents or I had

7:55

to just kinda like figure this

7:57

out.

7:57

Absolutely.

7:59

Like, for an easy episode

8:02

with the where Jesse gets a

8:04

used infection. Uh-huh. And then for

8:06

China shame episode, I would like never

8:08

I'm, like, literally will never change.

8:11

Like, that episode was just, like, one

8:12

of the most perfect, like, whenever

8:15

Jessie talks to her vagina, you

8:16

know that you're in for, like, some, like,

8:19

horrific moments of, like, that's a

8:21

vagina with a mouth and eyes, but

8:23

then also, like, what I wish that my vagina

8:25

and I can talk to each other like this. Right.

8:28

Exactly. Like, I want hormone

8:30

monsters. Like, I want, like, you know,

8:32

it'd be great if my body could talk to me. So

8:34

I could be like, hello? What's happening?

8:37

Yeah. It was just it was it was fun

8:39

getting to see that because I

8:41

just thought about it. Like, yeah. Getting your first use

8:43

in fact too, especially you have no idea what Oh

8:45

my god. It's terrifying. And there is

8:47

nothing more painful than you need to

8:49

itch your own vagina. Like, yeah. It's

8:51

like it's shameful. It's it's thing. And also

8:53

just normalizing idea that everyone's period

8:55

blood looks differently. Like, I

8:57

feel like I'm I'm better for it. And then I

8:59

also loved

9:00

the storyline

9:03

of Missy and her

9:05

new love interest who

9:07

is asexual which I thought

9:09

was so fun because I am someone who

9:11

also has an asexual partner. So it

9:13

was great hearing that done. And

9:15

then having his aunt to be like, yeah, I'm

9:17

very wealthy. I'm very rich. I

9:19

love a lot of people, but I have the best credit

9:21

score of everybody in this house. And I'm like,

9:23

that's right. I love it. It was

9:25

so good. Yeah.

9:25

It was very

9:28

excellent. And there was

9:30

the freaky Friday -- Oh,

9:32

yeah. -- harder at the end.

9:34

I'm like, this is ridiculous. This is hilarious.

9:36

Like, freaking nape resilient.

9:39

Yes. I looked this up because I was like,

9:41

why is nape resilient in here? And

9:43

apparently, it's like a joke that has been

9:45

happening on the show or something. Oh, yeah. So, like,

9:47

this thing is, like, a super nerd who is

9:49

obsessed with

9:50

Nathan Philly in which is plus.

9:52

Yeah. And so, like, we are all. So

9:54

every time she, like, masturbates or does anything, she does

9:56

it thinking about the turn,

9:58

Nathan Filipe.

9:59

She's like doing stuff. You are so

10:02

beautiful, Missy. May

10:03

I kiss

10:04

you with my mouth? Of course.

10:07

Nathan Fillion. And

10:10

so, like, and he's into it.

10:12

I mean, it's a great it's great for

10:14

the brand. Just being like, yeah, I am the

10:16

most desirable. So it's It

10:18

is fun seeing that happen. Yeah.

10:21

And I was just thinking, like, watching

10:23

this, they have to have

10:25

some fucking funny ass writers

10:28

on this show because this is

10:30

funny. Like, this is something where

10:32

you're not just like throwing

10:34

out gross jokes. Like, these jokes

10:36

are good. Yeah. I think with this season,

10:38

especially the storyline between Andrew

10:40

and his parents, it was like, oh,

10:42

wow. Like, he's actually, like, his father and his

10:44

mom, actually trying to, like, like, thought that was cute. Of

10:46

course, they got, of course, in in big mouth fashion. It's

10:48

a moment where you think, oh my god, he's gonna have to have sex with

10:50

his own mother. Yeah. And his father's body.

10:52

And you're like, But then

10:54

it stopped. Yeah. Thank

10:56

you, God. God bless.

10:58

Thank you. I was like, oh my god. I don't know if

11:00

I can handle this. I'm like, come on.

11:02

Like, Game of Thrones is enough. No more. No

11:05

more. Right. I know. We we and we only

11:07

left that slide because of Matt

11:09

Smith. Exactly.

11:11

That's really that's always my But, yeah, that

11:13

was a really fun story line. I just felt like

11:15

everyone really got to do something really fun. And

11:17

then -- Yeah. -- the list

11:19

episode So I

11:21

had no idea what that was. I

11:23

was like, what is this list? And so I typed

11:25

it in. And apparently, it's a whole thing, but

11:27

I think that, you know, we're both too old

11:29

for it. because, like, our producer

11:31

was amazing. Oh, the

11:33

test? Yeah. The test. And,

11:35

like, the our producer was, like, oh, we did that. And we're

11:37

both like, I have no idea.

11:40

Yeah. The rice purity test.

11:42

I had never heard of that in my

11:44

life. Me too. Me too. I

11:46

was like, what is this? And then I took I

11:48

was taking the test. and I sent it to you as

11:50

the episode was playing. And I'm just like, oh, this

11:52

really is this is real.

11:54

So do we wanna tell each other what?

11:56

We gotta sense? Yes. because I

11:58

took so, yeah, princess

12:00

texting me.

12:01

This quiz, and

12:03

I'm like, oh, fun because, you know, I

12:05

I love a good I love a good quiz.

12:08

It's the I don't know. The Virgo,

12:10

Hogwarts house, girl, and I'm like,

12:12

oh, a crazy elevator. Everything is Pottermore.

12:14

Right. I'm like, let's do it. This

12:16

was the most ridiculous thing I've

12:18

ever taken. I was dying at

12:20

some of these questions. I was and

12:22

also So I was like, do I is

12:24

this right? Did I just answer this

12:26

wrong? I'm like, I don't know. Absolutely. So

12:28

for context of the RISE purity test is like a

12:30

hundred questions asking you about like

12:33

various things, ranging from, like,

12:35

things that are illegal and weird.

12:37

And that's, like, have you committed a

12:39

crime yet? Have you taken hard drugs?

12:41

Have you taken marijuana? Have you taken

12:43

hard drugs? And then, like, definitely

12:45

things like, I ever looking

12:47

at it. at my score and being like,

12:49

what's wrong with me? Then I'm like, no,

12:51

Princess. You're thirty and you

12:53

live in New York. Like, so

12:55

true. My score ended

12:57

up being a thirty three,

12:59

which I feel like was which

13:01

is like, this is what they said. This is why I felt

13:04

shame. It said, This range of

13:06

scores is reserved for the super

13:08

hardcore people, like the people

13:10

who have been in orogies

13:12

or in jail. What?

13:15

Example, you probably used a

13:17

hard drug before or had sex in

13:19

public or had anal sex,

13:21

etcetera. moral limit is never

13:23

a problem for elrod life. Now first

13:25

of all, I think it is scary. It's

13:27

not

13:27

fucking

13:28

thing. It's I look I was like,

13:30

yes, I hired a drug before, or had this for

13:32

a public, or had 806 It's

13:34

twenty twenty two. Everybody has 806

13:37

now. So I don't even know why they were trying to

13:39

be like, It's one of these three things.

13:41

I'm like, Princess,

13:43

not everybody. We

13:45

live in Los Angeles and

13:47

New York, so we have probably had

13:50

some experiences that some

13:52

people have not had, which I

13:54

respect, and it's fine, but I just felt like they're

13:56

like, you've done hard drugs. I'm like, no,

13:58

I've never had anything stronger

13:59

than we. I just and I've

14:02

never been to jail. I've never been

14:04

arrested. I just you know, but I am black, so

14:06

I've spoken to the police. So it was just

14:08

kind of a thing where I'm like, you know what?

14:10

Yeah. I'm a thirty three because

14:12

I have lived. Goddamn it.

14:14

hey, I don't think you should be ashamed of

14:17

being a thirty three, and I think that

14:19

their whatever it is description

14:21

is bullshit. It's That's stupid.

14:24

Listen. I think that's fine.

14:26

I I got a thirty

14:28

five. So I don't even know.

14:30

Look at you. Hey. That's

14:33

the theater kids score. Yeah. The theater kids

14:35

score is thirty five. So if anyone

14:37

is listening and you're a

14:39

theater kid, you're scores thirty five.

14:41

But the description is also very

14:43

funny. It's like, you are a little

14:45

special. Yes. People

14:47

who receive scores that fall into this

14:50

range are probably a huge fan of

14:52

cult movies. You

14:55

are always looking for thrills in life,

14:57

which might sometimes even get you

14:59

into trouble. I'm like,

15:01

but look at my description, compare

15:03

it to yours. I was like, oh,

15:05

like, you are just you just like to watch, you know,

15:07

breakfast at Tiffany's. Even though it's got

15:09

problematic stuff in it with me, it's like, well, you must have

15:11

been into hardcore bondage, and it's

15:13

like, what what if I was? Goddamn

15:15

it. But we're not, like, you're

15:17

a thirty three. I'm a thirty five. That's not

15:19

that far off. But they were, like, they were,

15:21

like, it's kind of, like, how? Like, there's a difference

15:24

between, like, a sixty nine a, and a seventy is,

15:26

like, about, like, it's a

15:28

very it's not that big of a difference,

15:30

but it matters to your parents. It's

15:32

like an exponent. It's like,

15:34

listen. This

15:37

is the cut off. It's like, listen,

15:39

honey. You need to get out of

15:41

here for a year and go

15:43

bang some people. Laquissa, I

15:45

break up with your boyfriend because I'm bored.

15:47

Why are you doing some crimes? There are

15:49

so many crime questions. I was like, what

15:51

is this? it was all very specific. It was, like, have you

15:53

been or have you been handcuffed? No. And I was,

15:55

like, buy the police.

15:57

Right. No.

15:59

I thought the same.

16:02

I was

16:02

like, wow. I like those are

16:05

certain questions where I'm like, well, I don't

16:07

know maybe. And then it's

16:09

like, And then it shows, like, how

16:11

many set people said yes or no. And then, like,

16:13

everybody says no. And I said, yes. And I'm like,

16:15

oh, wow. I know I felt for some of

16:17

them because I I said checkups for anal and

16:19

they were like, well, that's very rare. I'm

16:21

like, I didn't think sat cannot be

16:23

true. I was like they're lying.

16:25

They're lying. stolen

16:27

valor. I don't listen. Stolen the beer.

16:29

loophole loophole was a big one in

16:31

Pennsylvania. So I mean,

16:33

no. That's I think I think

16:35

someone said it in the in the show. It's

16:37

like, we I we only had animal sex the

16:39

Catholic way. And I've just Yeah. They're

16:41

like, that's exactly right. Correct.

16:44

That's that's what I'm saying. It's

16:46

lying. I feel like because also we came

16:48

of sexual maturity in

16:50

the ox, where, like, the butt

16:52

Six Sigma was just going away and it

16:54

was like, oh, yeah, girls. We're not doing butt stuff.

16:57

It's like, I didn't even breathe it. True.

16:59

And it's like, if you want to do what they feel

17:01

comfortable with, there is no real such

17:03

thing as actual purity, but

17:05

it was just funny about how,

17:08

like, Oh, yeah. I first, I was like, I figured very

17:10

personally, but I was like, you know what? Who

17:12

cares? I'm grown. Now

17:14

I need Joe to take this quiz.

17:16

jealous listening to this remind me and to listen to

17:18

you. I'll text you. I'll be like, don't forget to give jokes.

17:21

Oh my god. I need to know. This

17:23

is too funny. He'll be, like, twenty five. Just sit at

17:25

my line. It's, like, you are a sinner.

17:27

You're going to hell. He's, like,

17:30

dope. He's, like, well, what are you gonna

17:32

do? Yeah. But, yeah, that was

17:34

hilarious. Didn't know that existed? Now I

17:36

do. Yeah. The fact that

17:38

Jay got, like, a twenty two. I or,

17:40

like, whatever. I was, like, oh,

17:42

that's it. Jay is a character that

17:44

I struggled

17:44

with for a long time because let's

17:45

just stay because I love that he's

17:48

by. I love that he's, like, chaotic by

17:50

sensual, but then he was really out of here, like, fucking Turkey's

17:52

and pillows. And I would just say to hear,

17:54

like, my brother in Christ, like, jeez.

17:57

But then he finally sexually matured

17:59

beyond

17:59

sleeping with pillows. this relationship with Matthew, and I'm

18:02

like, look at this growth for you.

18:04

So do you like them together? I

18:06

it's

18:07

so before he was dating, Matthew,

18:09

he was dating Lola, and they were

18:11

like -- Oh my god. -- also chaotic,

18:13

and I did love them. I feel like they

18:15

would have been a very cute the ruffle.

18:18

But by the end of this season, they really

18:20

sold me kind of on Matthew and Jay, and

18:22

I'm like, this is kind of cute. I love it.

18:24

He's like, I want my barbaric

18:27

boyfriend to be the absolute

18:29

worst. I'm bringing

18:29

up with him. I'm like, that's beautiful.

18:32

they were cute at the end, but it was one

18:35

of those things where I loved his

18:37

character. I thought it was, like, he

18:39

was so ridiculous and so

18:41

out there. And I loved that he was just like, you know, and

18:43

he's like, yeah, I've had sex with everything. You're the horniest

18:46

one. And his character

18:48

and John Mollie any

18:50

character were my favorite character. Yeah. Oh my

18:52

god. Yeah. They were because they were the most

18:54

ridiculous. They were the ones that were

18:56

doing, you know, the most out there had the

18:58

craziest lines, the craziest set ups, the

19:00

crazy situations. Because,

19:02

like, Nick Kroll's character Yeah. He's

19:04

like the every man character, but he's like --

19:06

Right. -- he's so weird to me, but like his

19:08

really? I really loved his

19:10

parents. I love

19:10

his parents. I was like I was

19:12

like,

19:12

oh, god. Is this tessa? Joe

19:14

Best parents. I

19:15

really like it. Just her

19:18

essence, I

19:19

was just like, Diana. I was like, oh god.

19:21

No. I love the

19:24

parents. All the parents stuff was so

19:26

funny. Like, a good time with it.

19:28

Which I appreciate too because a lot of

19:30

times also in these

19:32

shows, in these animated shows,

19:34

they'll, like, just focus on, like, they kids

19:36

or on the main cast and then the side

19:38

like characters, they don't care about so

19:40

much. This, like, reminded me of South

19:42

Park in that way because, like,

19:44

to me, like freaking, you know, the parents

19:46

are some of the funniest parts

19:48

of South Park. So it's like, I feel like with this

19:51

as well, Like, the parents of the funniest. I have,

19:53

like, some of the funniest jokes. This the funniest

19:55

just sort of, like, interactions. Mhmm.

19:59

so good. It was really

20:01

funny. I loved, like,

20:03

the part when Missy finally talks to her

20:05

mom, Chelsea Paretti, about her period, and she's

20:07

like, my mother slapped me across the

20:09

face. God bless herself. She was a terrible

20:11

person.

20:11

I just look.

20:14

Good. They're all so

20:16

good. Mhmm. They're all so

20:18

good. Like, not only are they just funny,

20:20

but like, good at voice acting too.

20:23

It's the best. They're good at voice acting.

20:25

They're good at, like, explaining,

20:27

like, gender stuff and and sexuality

20:29

without seeming preachy but very much like

20:31

-- Hey. -- they know how to balance that, like,

20:34

education plus the, like,

20:36

vulgarity of the sales market

20:38

feels like, a

20:39

great through light of all the, like, sex comedies

20:41

that we've grown up with that were, like, animated.

20:43

It feels like this is, like, the

20:45

apex of all of

20:46

those. But, like, actually,

20:48

cares. Like,

20:48

I think, like, sounds like it's so defined

20:50

by cynicism. Right. Whereas

20:53

big mouth is really in my

20:55

mind find by this desire for

20:57

connection. That's why, like, the it's always,

21:00

like, shame versus, like, friendship

21:02

or, like, you know. Oh, it's sweet.

21:04

This shows, like, it has definitely

21:06

like a even though it has this

21:08

hard, like, outside of being, like,

21:11

So Boulder. Yeah.

21:13

Yeah. It's so Boulder. It has such

21:15

a sweet and it's like the the heart of

21:17

it is so pure and so

21:19

nice. And that that's it's that's why I

21:21

really liked it was because you

21:23

really do fall in love with these characters

21:26

and you're just like, oh,

21:28

they're just They're just growing

21:30

up. It's hard. I hate

21:32

you. Like, as someone who has been

21:34

watching it, it was really fun

21:36

to watch Jesse,

21:38

to watch her character go

21:40

from someone who was so like, when she got through

21:42

puberty, her whole thing, like, fighting with my mom. Me and my

21:44

mom were enemies to, like, not

21:47

just connecting with her stepmom,

21:49

her younger stepmom,

21:51

but also learning to

21:53

see her mom as a person. And it was like

21:55

I feel like they finally got,

21:58

like, if there was a season of kitchen development, it

21:59

was for this. Like,

22:01

Mhmm.

22:02

Everyone kind of grew a little

22:04

bit except, you know, Andrew. But

22:06

then his parents got together, so it was fine. But

22:08

it was fun seeing those little changes

22:11

and, like, again, the show manages

22:13

to, like, make you root for the

22:15

connection between everyone even when they're

22:17

on their worst. So -- I'm sure.

22:19

-- so I just

22:20

I I really enjoyed watching it this season.

22:22

It was it was a very good season of

22:24

of Big Bow. How did

22:25

it compare to the other seasons? I've

22:28

I'm I think that last

22:30

season was a little bit, like, up and

22:32

down. I think that every season

22:34

has, like, episode, like, that was a lot.

22:36

And that's where I'm like, there was one episode,

22:39

like, it was some period and it was

22:41

just like, if I think about it, I wanna get.

22:43

Like, that's how intense it

22:45

Oh, no. It was It was Can't

22:47

wait to watch it. You you'll know. You'll

22:49

know what it is. Oh, no. I'll text you. You'll

22:51

be like, get it this part. I'll be

22:53

like, Yep. But III definitely

22:55

feel like this was the strong

22:58

stronger than last season, but I

23:00

still love it. I think that, like, this

23:02

and season

23:03

two and three are still my

23:05

favorites. Like, those are some of my favorite ones. So

23:08

Nice.

23:08

because I was gonna say this was so

23:10

solid. Like, the whole season was very well

23:12

done. There weren't any episodes that

23:14

were big like boars. because

23:16

sometimes when it comes to these

23:18

types of shows because you're not following

23:20

a plot. Sometimes they're like, let's try this.

23:23

Let's do this. Let's do that. And sometimes

23:25

if you do too much of that, you

23:27

get lost or you just like

23:29

but this I think because of what

23:31

you said, because you are,

23:34

like, there with the characters rooting

23:36

for their relationship. It feels real in

23:38

that way. It kinda grounds -- Mhmm.

23:40

-- it grounds it a little bit. Yeah. it

23:42

grounds everything and it really just kind of, like, allows

23:44

you to, like, follow through

23:46

and just go go with it

23:48

because there are so many times where

23:50

it's so hard. to, like, just kind of go

23:52

with something.

23:53

But this one

23:55

real this season, I think, was a

23:56

really good one for you to come in too. So I was really

23:58

excited to talk to you

23:59

about it. And now and now we have

24:02

to figure out which department you're

24:04

gonna be a part of. Oh

24:06

my gosh. Alright.

24:09

So what are the departments? Okay.

24:12

So there are a lot of different departments,

24:14

but the big characters are that there are

24:16

hormone monsters. which

24:18

are the ones that ate through puberty.

24:20

Right. Yes. There are the

24:22

Shane Wizards, which are

24:24

the ones that shamey for all different kinds

24:26

of things. Oh, god. You will

24:28

love because that character appears in, I

24:31

think, season two, and

24:33

it's Remus Lupin.

24:35

It's David Tools. Yes. So he plays

24:37

a bisexual shame monster.

24:41

So you're gonna love it. It's gonna

24:43

be great. the way

24:45

that this man is just

24:47

hopping into my life, lately.

24:49

And in my fan fictions,

24:52

So bless you, sir. God bless. And he's biotechnical so

24:54

we could finally have the Remus. Oh my

24:56

god. Serious. Right? We wanted. Exactly.

24:59

There is the depression and kitty

25:01

which Oh god. represents depression

25:03

and she makes people feel sad and un

25:05

motivated to work. There is

25:07

the anxiety, the sketo,

25:10

which will come and basically just tell you all your

25:12

worst fears in your ear.

25:16

Well, it's just the basics. And

25:19

then finally, you have the ambition

25:21

gremlin, which is Oh, no. No.

25:23

No. That's that only shows up in in one

25:25

thing. Where did the love bugs, which you saw

25:27

in this season? They're the ones that,

25:29

like, wanna make you fall in love and

25:31

build connections. So it's

25:34

between being a hormone monster, a

25:36

shame wizard, a

25:38

depression kitty, an

25:40

anxiety mosquito, or a

25:42

love bug.

25:43

Okay. This is a

25:45

lot of

25:45

information. I know I was so sorry.

25:47

No. I I got it. I got it. I got

25:50

it. But it's one of those things where I

25:52

definitely think that some of these

25:54

things live inside me because

25:56

I because I'm like thinking about it.

25:58

And I was like, oh, yeah. I definitely have anxiety, mosquito.

26:00

And, oh, yeah. I definitely have depression,

26:02

you know, whatever wizard shame

26:05

wizard. I have the shame wizard is there. the

26:07

same wizard at, like because I am very mean to

26:09

myself. Yeah. But but

26:11

would I be a same wizard? Absolutely

26:13

not. I'm like the opposite. I'm I

26:15

love, like, rooting I'm the hype

26:17

woman of like my friend group always. Like, I'm always

26:19

my favorite thing is like

26:22

seeing people that I love, like,

26:24

do well because I just I don't know what

26:26

it is. It's something where when

26:28

they're happy it makes be happy and then I

26:30

feel like it breeds more happiness and,

26:33

like, when good things happen, more good things happen. So it's like if you

26:35

I feel like it's an energy thing. If you ride the

26:37

the good energy, then more good things happen to

26:39

you rather than, like, the other way. Like,

26:42

if you try to, like, if you're

26:44

jealous, like, that's why I, like, I never get

26:46

jealous, never do that. So I I

26:48

can't I don't think I could give

26:50

someone negativity I think

26:52

that happens to me personally, but I don't

26:54

think I could do that as a monster. I think it'd be

26:56

horrible at it. I'd be like, sorry.

26:59

It's too nice. Yes.

27:00

Biggest flaw. So I

27:03

think I would either

27:05

be a love bug

27:07

or hormone monster. You're a hormone

27:10

monster. I'm

27:11

I think I

27:13

am a hormone monster because, listen, I

27:15

talk about, like, Sex. Listen,

27:18

you're thirty five. We get it.

27:20

You've not as

27:22

not as much as me me in

27:24

our thirty threes, but you are. Thirty

27:27

five? I'm not thirty five yet. No. I'm

27:29

not your score, not your age.

27:31

Oh, I was like, I'm thirty five. I was

27:33

like, I guess I could be. Girl, you know

27:35

you still look twenty two. So let's I

27:37

I get my age all the time. I

27:39

have no idea how old I am. It's

27:41

embarrassing. My mom used to, like, forget her age

27:43

and I used to be, like, how could you do that?

27:45

I have to, like, count the years.

27:47

It's embarrassing. And we lost years to COVID. No.

27:49

I'm in, like, your your security score

27:51

was thirty five and mine was thirty six,

27:53

like, We're in that we're in that we like to enjoy ourselves

27:56

sections. Also, I love making

27:58

jokes about that kind of I I would be

28:00

a hormone month Sure. Actually,

28:03

it's obvious. Yes. Hormo

28:05

monster it is. Let's do it. And you

28:07

know what? I I love that for you.

28:09

I definitely think that I would be

28:12

a love bug. Oh. I

28:14

love the idea. Like, I

28:16

love I love love. And while, like,

28:18

it's I think there's a part of me that's very

28:20

hormone monstery, but I do love seeing

28:22

romance bloom. I love

28:24

like seeing people make connections

28:26

and meet their soul mate and be

28:28

happy. Like, I really love that

28:30

that bullshit. Like, I just love

28:32

love that.

28:33

Oh, I

28:35

love that. That's so

28:38

sweet.

28:38

You're just a little love bug trying

28:40

to help people fall in love.

28:43

Yeah. I just I especially if you're

28:45

gonna be the hormone monster this way, you'd be like, I

28:47

love it. are, like, you know, was that

28:49

show where it's, like, the odd couple. It's

28:51

just, like, she's a horror bod monster,

28:53

and she's a love bodied together.

28:57

wear me. Yeah.

28:59

Exactly. Exactly. You know what? I

29:01

think

29:01

it works. So nailed

29:04

it. Yes.

29:09

Let's see.

29:09

I need to do one more thing.

29:11

My one more thing

29:13

is

29:15

if you

29:17

take the

29:19

purity test and you get a

29:22

score, and it shames you

29:24

and your answer and the

29:26

answer. Do not take

29:28

that the wrong way. Everyone

29:30

should be able to be as

29:32

kinky as they want if

29:34

you're not doing anything illegal. Yeah.

29:37

Like, I don't because they mentioned the

29:39

crime stuff, and it's like, they don't do crimes, guys.

29:41

Like, you know, BK don't do

29:43

actual crimes. But, like, not

29:45

do crimes that harm other

29:48

true. Yes.

29:49

Like, don't hurt me. Like, you know what I mean? Just

29:51

like But other than that, y'all,

29:53

you

29:53

can be as kinky as you want.

29:55

Read that vampag. like, do that

29:57

stuff that bakes if it makes you feel happy, if it

29:59

makes you feel good, do it.

30:01

It's your

30:02

life. It's your

30:05

body. It's whatever you

30:07

wanna do. And I hate when people shame

30:09

people because I'm like, who cares? It's

30:11

not you? It's not like you're being

30:13

forced to do it. no. Like, stop. I

30:15

hate what people police other people for anything. And

30:17

then if it's like things that

30:19

they love, like, if it's

30:21

you know, ships or kinks or whatever.

30:24

I'm like, get out of here. Right.

30:26

You're not involved. Exactly. And

30:28

they're not part of this. And they're such thing

30:30

as purity. Like, you know, you can you can be as

30:33

kinky as you want and be a fucking

30:35

angel, and you can be someone

30:37
