So what's really hard for me this summer is that I'm cutting dairy out of my life. I'm doing

like an elimination diet. It's disgusting and embarrassing to talk about, but it means that I can't

have ice cream. And that has been the source of so much pain for me over the past couple weeks.

What I have to remind you of, Maya, is that we live in a neighborhood where it is

impossible to find good ice cream. And so it's really like you're okay. I don't know if we've

talked about this before, Bahana and I have a game where we test to see if we can find vanilla

ice cream in our area. And on only one occasion have we been able to find it.

Our area is like very bustling. There's tons of stores. There's a ton of ice cream shops.

But all of them are these fucking artisanal ice cream stores that sell the most vile, disgusting

flavors that should be outlawed. Salt and pepper flavored. Like cheese flavor. Like get the fuck out of here. Earl gray tapioca or something. Yeah. And like I'm here for an Earl gray, but stop, stop combining things. Separate the flavors, please. And the thing is, is humble yourself. Just to be clear, like, I don't eat vanilla ice cream. I'm not a vanilla ice cream girl. I just want like a classic, give me chocolate chip give me like well yeah it's more of a cookies and cream it's a pursuit for just the basic flavors right like I'm my go to chocolate chip cookie dough there's one place that sells it luckily it's a vegan place but it just doesn't hit the same no it really doesn't I'm sorry it's a little cardboardy in opinion. Han and I have been down bad recently. So the thing that we do with each other is that one of us, whoever's down bad, the other person will go want to go get a treat and then we'll buy each other a treat somewhere nearby, but we've been doing that like once or twice a week for the past like several weeks. And like kind of changing up yesterday,

we were both down bad. So we were like, let's both go get a treat and buy it for ourselves.

Is this a beautiful portrait of two pathetic women for you guys? It's actually so sad. I think

it's summertime sadness. I got those summer times, summer times. How often am I down bad on this

podcast? Probably so often. I know. You guys must think we're like... Two sad brads. Yeah. And like,

well, we are. Are you wrong? My yes, cat is with us in the room. She's not a sad broad. She's so pleased

today. No, she's so cute. She looks like Olivia Wild. Guys, how many times have we said that on the podcast? It's become, it's come to the point where I don't know what I've said on this podcast at all. And especially with the minisodes, talking just like free form, researchless every week is one dangerous and two. I don't know what I've said. I don't know what I've repeated. I also tell you every thought that pops into my head. So I don't know where my thoughts have been.

Is it on mic? Is it off Mike? Who knows? Yeah. So that's where we're at right now.

That's our update. Maybe by the time you guys are listening, we'll actually both be having

an incredible time. We'll be thriving.

We'll be like, ooh, summer.

And we said this to the patrons, but I'll say it here for you general public.

To the person who said you don't like our intros because they throw you off course.
