| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody and welcome to another episode of For You from Eve. |
| 0:15.8 | We have a guest episode that I am so excited for today. |
| 0:18.6 | We have Eli, who is a writer, a creator, and a voice that you did not realize that you needed in your 20s ever since I've been following her on social media. I have not skipped past a video, all hilarious, all relatable. And we're also going to be talking about her new book today. Does anyone else feel this way? Which just honestly pinpoint what it's like having a quarter life crisis and just figuring out life in your |
| 0:38.3 | 20s. So Eli, give us a little introduction, who you are, what you do, where you're from, all that good stuff. Well, thanks so much for having me. I'm so glad to hear that we're fellow Jersey girls. Oh, yeah. I'm always most comfortable with people from Jersey. Me too. I was thinking that my way here. Because it is very much so one of those things where it's like if you tell someone you're from Jersey, they're either gonna have a reaction like, oh, my dad's cousin is from there. Like everybody always knows someone from there or is like severely icked by it. Right. And or they're from there. Right. And that's like obviously the best case scenario. But like having to defend Jersey is like a lifelong thing. Like if you're born in New Jersey, you're born with this like thing of I have to defend this state with everything in me for the rest of my life. It's always nice to meet someone and be like, I don't have to do that with you. Yeah. You know that New Jersey. And until people are in it or live it, they don't understand it. They don't understand it or live, like, hate New Jersey. New Yorkers are trained to hate New Jersey, and it's kind of like, I don't understand |
| 1:29.4 | this one-sided beef, we love you. |
| 1:31.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:31.3 | Like, we love, like, maybe not Long Island, but, sorry, Long Island, but we love, like, upstate, we love this city, we love Brooklyn. Like we're very like MetLife Stadium is like, you know, we share it with you. |

I know that you're in like the city now, but I feel like that's the only place I could go depending on like my lifestyle. I am home a lot. I'll say that. Like my parents are in Jersey, my brother's in Jersey. |

| 2:00.3 | So I'm, I feel like I'm always like, let me get back to Jersey. |
