What's up everybody? Welcome to skate date.
Shove:Good morning, assuming it's the morning,
Rebel:I think it's probably about noon. If I'm on top of my game, house, how's it how's it going? This is your favorite podcast with your favorite podcasters
Shove:the podcasts that you hate to love and love.
Rebel:I've never really related with being a podcaster. So instead, I'll just say that I am rebel.
Shove:And I'm just a girl world in love with a girl that makes her do a podcast,
Rebel:aka shove.
Shove:Hi, my name shove,
Rebel:and together we are shovel.
Shove:Can you dig it?
Rebel:I can. But also you know who else can? Whoever made that theme song? That's definitely not for us. But we definitely stole it and used it for real this last week.
Shove:I don't think it's a theme song. I think it's like it was a song like on a children's
Rebel:Chavo Chavo, Chavo, Chavo Chavo, something like that.
Shove:It was about little kids that are shoveling through snow. I found it and put it on a reel because I am a master at finding the perfect sailing
Rebel:is such a master and finding the good songs for the real. So
Shove:one commented, well, I had a couple people commented. And they said they're like, I love your content. Because I can always guarantee you the songs like they're always like to have the music. And I'm like, that means a lot because I when I was little I wanted to be a DJ.
Rebel:That is so cute. I wanted to be a talk show host does that surprise anyone?
Shove:No. Hence why here like podcast?
Rebel:Yes. I also really is it's like I'm really accomplishing a dream here, which is why I'm so dedicated.
Shove:Well, I wanted to be like a DJ, like how they used to be like, now I feel like DJs mainstream DJs anyways, it's like, they all have to play the same five songs, like the hits, you know, and I feel like it used to be all about like, alright, like, I have this amazing mood, I'm gonna play these songs like what, and then I'm gonna take these requests, and that was like you went on a vibe. And that's what I would want to do.
Rebel:Yeah, I definitely feel like you do that when you create Spotify playlists. Like if you haven't listened to shove Spotify playlists, you should do that. Because yeah, she's amazing at curating.
Shove:Yeah, the February when I share it on Instagram so that people can listen to it. I need to listen to it or listen to it. Like,
Rebel:it's so cute. I love the February one. Okay, so this last week, sorry that we skipped a week. But we went to Arizona. Yeah, we went to Arizona on a totally random trip, which was like random but not random. Also, because we went there to go to the Tucson gem show. Mm hmm. It was so
Shove:fun. And then we went to the Moxie. Monday, Sunday.
Rebel:Yeah, it was a wildly packed weekend. And we had absolutely zero time to record a podcast. So that is why we were not here last week. But if you haven't yet, check out the podcast that we filmed two weeks ago that was about our broken brains like medication and also about street skating. Yeah. So um, speaking of, let's take a look at our comments of the week. Why don't we start with mine? My comment choice of the week was it was by Ariana Hawkins. And they said, I love you guys. Keep it up. I don't know if you ever listened back to your first podcast. But you two have definitely sounded happier since talking about mental health, your mental health. It seems to be working all the things you were doing. And it's so enjoyable to hear anyway, if you ever come to Dallas,
Shove:Dallas up guy. Yeah. And let the Fugu Yeah, so
Rebel:I really liked that comment. And the reason why I wanted to bring it up is because I just felt like, oh, it's cool. I think one of the cool things about having a podcast that I definitely didn't even expect was people being able to see our progress, like firsthand. Like, I definitely wasn't expecting to go on an extensive mental health journey over the past couple years. And that's just something that's happened. And it's cool for someone to have been able to like listen to an earlier episode and hear us talk and then listen to like recent episodes and hear us talk and compare those two. And that made me feel encouraged like, okay, cool. Yeah, like it's not just all in my head, which lots of things are.
Shove:Yeah, we don't watch ourselves.
Rebel:We don't watch ourselves. I listen and watch probably like a Read a lot that first week, right? So like I listened to edit it, and then I listen to it to make sure that I didn't put the unedited version. You don't like go way back, but I never go back farther than the most recent week. So it's really fascinating to hear someone talk about, like our old episodes, so I thought that was really that's really cool. Yeah. Do you feel like, like, it would be so weird to listen to
Shove:our old episodes? Yeah, watch party, and
Rebel:I definitely would not want to watch them. Anyways, and then the comment that you had, did you want me to read it? Because it's really small. My phone?
Shove:Sure read it. Okay. So
Rebel:this is the comment that shove chose to talk about, and it's by CAMI brown. It's either kami or Kami, but I think it's called me. And they said, Oh, yes, my husband and I have an agreement that we both cannot stress or be depressed at the same time. It's worked for 15 years so far.
Shove:I have questions. We have questions that we want, oh, many questions. That's really just one. How the hell? Can you agree on that? Like, I would totally agree on that.
Rebel:I would love to agree, I think great agreement,
Shove:your secret yours and your partner's secret? Because, um, I could promise that and say, Hey, only one of us can be tripping out of time. But like, you can't control that sometimes you just both are a little like, life at the same time. And imagine if I was just like, hey, I was depressed for years, I'm stressed. First, you need to chill. And then when I'm better tag, it's here. And you can feel it. You want to feel?
Rebel:Yeah, I will say though, I will say that I do understand on some level, because there are definitely times where you've been having like a super hard time. And I'm also having a hard time, but I just kind of like keep it to myself for a little bit. And I wait for the moment when you're having like a little better of a time. And then I'm like, by the way, I've been having a very hard time. But
Shove:I don't want you to do that. Because maybe we could wrap ourselves up into a blanket into an emotional burrito together.
Rebel:Yeah, I guess I didn't think about it that way. I just thought like, I don't want to be a burden. When you're like, already struggling so hard.
Shove:No, but I think when you're happy, it makes me even worse. Like now I'm like, Oh, I'm even a bigger burden. And then if you were like Merck to I'd be like, okay, cool. She's life sucks, too.
Rebel:Yeah, that's so funny. I literally never thought of it. I always just thought like, I need to be like, chaotic, neutral. Misery loves company as much as possible. Yeah. But I don't want us to end up in like some crazy deep hole because we definitely could if we were both like encouraging each other to be
Shove:I always encouraging each other to be that way. It's more like allowing, yeah, like, hey, let's take a depression nap together.
Rebel:Yeah, I see that actually. Yeah, I just Yeah, I guess that's an interesting way to think about it. I guess this comment is really good. Because I definitely have seen it that way. Like as, oh, I need to make sure that like, I'm kind of like, oh, like the I don't. I guess I'm always concerned that I'm going to need something when you're like, I have nothing to give. And then if I say like I need something and then you have nothing to give, then then it would make you feel worse. is I guess my way of
Shove:No, me for no reason you're saying that because you subconsciously remember I literally told her one time. I said, I am so sorry. I literally have nothing to give you right now. Like I understand you but I do not have the wherewithal and I said that to you once was emotionally and once was when we both had COVID and he was mentally and emotionally and once physically I just like I literally not right now. And I felt like shit both times. But I had to acknowledge it. Like, as much as I want to. I literally cannot. And then like both times you just like I know. It's just like, but it was great that you told me. I just didn't want you to think that I was like, Oh, whatever. That sucks. Mine's more important. It was just like, Oh my God, I wish I could help you but I can't.
Rebel:Yeah, yeah, I know. I think it's good to talk about it. But it is like hard. I think it's hard on both sides because it's hard being vulnerable. I don't know why it's really hard for me. No, it's not even just you like just in general. I have a really hard time being vulnerable with what I need, like, emotionally specifically, or like, just being open with that. Like I feel like for some reason, it's easier for me when something is offered to me to just take it as opposed to saying like, hey, but like I really need you know, XYZ whatever it is. So Yeah, it's hard for me to be vulnerable about that kind of stuff.
Shove:Yeah. So thank you for that comment. And I hope like I made us like talk about things. And that's awesome. And I think it's really the level two because we just a little stressed out and yeah, it's like, Yo, like my stress. I'm doing this and we'll worry about your stress later. Yeah, that's probably what you're talking about, like, I don't know, I don't know your life. But I appreciate it. And I'm so glad that you commented that because it opened my eyes to something and I hope we opened your eyes to something. Yeah, super, super jealous.
Rebel:So today, we're gonna talk about Valentine's Day. And we're also going to talk about skitching Yeah, it's a fun combo of things today. And also like things that are happening in our lives right now. Tomorrow, aka two days ago, is my first day back of in school teaching like in person in school teaching. And I in like, two years, and I am I have the most like a first day of school jitters right now, even though I've already messed the students. Like they're all dope. But like, I am so scared for some reason. I feel like I don't know how to teach anymore, even though I clearly do because I've been teaching this whole time but like, I feel like I don't know how to in person teach. So I guess, going to laugh at you. I don't know that. That's that's not even when I'm nervous about I think I'm just nervous about getting in the classroom and just being like, super awkward. And just being like, I have nothing to talk to you. Oh,
Shove:babies always been awkward. It's okay. Yeah, but
Rebel:like, I don't know. It's just like weird. I feel weird, but it's okay. It's fine. But like, I feel super weird. So I guess I'll update you on that next week. Because I don't know. Oh, anyways, so should we jump right into the real world?
Shove:Mm hmm.
Rebel:I was trying to open a candy during that break segment. And it was just like being it's okay.
Shove:They heard it last time.
Rebel:I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna bet on something. So I'm Welcome to the real world. The real world is where we're going to talk about Valentine's Day. One, we've got to two opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to Valentine's Day shove thinks Valentine's Day is a joke. Rebel thinks Valentine's Day is the best day of the year.
Shove:Understand no point.
Rebel:Okay. The point is to celebrate love. And love is amazing. Rebel loves love. I love love. I think love is so spectacular and incredible and so fun. And it it's like romantic and cute. And I even Okay, call me crazy, but I even like anti Valentine's Day celebrations. Because technically it routed out a Valentine's day like I think anti Valentine's Day celebrations like people who are like Fuck love. I hate it. I'm gonna like, you know, pop heart shaped balloons and like throw you know darts at that also sounds like that sounds super fun to me too. I think that sounds so fun like in that. What's that one movie? Oh, Valentine's Day, that movie Valentine's Day where she has. Who is it? Jennifer Garner has like an anti Valentine's Day party at that restaurant. I love that. So fun. So I love that. I think that like gallon times is so fun. I love hearts as a motif in general. I love pink and red. I love romance. I love sentimental things. I love love notes. I love date nights. I love stupid flashmob proposals. I love it all. Huh. The other day I saw a plane fly overhead and it said Jill, will you marry me? And I was like, if that was me, I would say no, but also still a very cute uptick in my day. Huh? So that's that's how I feel about Valentine's Day and I get it that like probably the roots of Valentine's Day sucks. But you know what the roots of literally almost every single holiday sucks. So you can't make the argument that Valentine's Day sucks because whatever the like the route of the holiday sucks because that's true about so many freakin holidays. So
Shove:yeah. Also Lupercalia
Rebel:I don't know what that means, but I'm sure they know What I
Shove:mean is a holiday that's like Valentine's Day.
Rebel:I'm in. Sounds good.
Shove:It's like the slutty version of Valentine's Day,
Rebel:which I would argue makes Valentine's Day better than I even thought it was going into this podcast. So I don't know how you're trying to convince me that it's not good because that just totally made it like it enhanced my argument.
Shove:Um, for me, like, I don't know, maybe it's because I have such a disdain for love at the same time, like I have experienced too much of the dark side of love, and I know how far and treacherous it can lead you down a path that it has become a bitter thing for me. But then I rewind and I hated Valentine's Day, even in high school, like most of my life, I don't know what happened. I just I'm like, anti Valentine's Day and not to the point where I'm gonna have an anti Valentine's Day party. I'm just like, This holiday is like a waste of time. Like this holiday is like Cinco de Mayo. Don't celebrate that either. I don't even get tacos.
Rebel:Because isn't Cinco de Mayo like an Americanized version of like a Mexican holiday? That's not even at that same period of time.
Shove:Yeah, it's fake. Just like Valentine's Day.
Rebel:But like, is it? If you think about it, though, isn't everything fake? Like, isn't Christmas fake? Isn't Thanksgiving fake? Like, aren't all of these days fake?
Shove:Well, Thanksgiving is like real but after put anything about where it comes from? Halloween is stemmed off of a pagan holiday. Valentine's Day, it's like, I don't know. Like, I get it. Like it's based on love. And it's like, everything is hiked up and you eat chocolates. And I don't know,
Rebel:you know what? I think you're jaded. Because you love chocolate. That's the problem. You love chocolate every day. Yeah, you love chocolate. You love being treated super well,
Shove:which you do all the time? Why do I need a Valentine's Day for it?
Rebel:Because Valentine's Day is for people like me, who don't get all the cute sentimental shit from their partners all the time? Uh huh. Because even though you do it randomly, because you hate love so much, you don't do it as much as I would like. And so there has to be a holiday for people like me. And I'm going to argue for all the head rows out there for all the hetero women. No offense to guys. And there are many guys that I'm sure actually do, like romantic shit for their partners. But for the most part, what I've heard, rumor has it I guess, I correct me if I'm wrong, but like, it seems like guys don't naturally do romantic shit for their partners. So I feel like Valentine's Day is there for the people who like are romantics and sentimental at heart, but like their partners aren't so they need a day to look forward to to be like, I'm gonna get fucking flowers today. They're gonna write me a cute ass. No, and there might they might not like it, but I'm gonna save that fucking No, cuz I love that shit. That's what I think it's about.
Shove:So the compromise we have is that we will celebrate Valentine's Day. But not on Valentine's Day.
Rebel:Yeah, I even told shove. I literally told shove that I will never utter a sentiment about Valentine's Day again. If every month she picks out a day and just does something hella romantic for me. Like, I'll just be like Valentine's Day. What's that? I don't need it.
Shove:Anyway, even though tomorrow was Valentine's Day, Rob will taking me out on Wednesday and Wednesday, hopefully the day that this airs. And then I'm taking her out the following Tuesday. I'm
Rebel:so excited. And it's going to be so fun as totally surprised. I don't know what we're doing. But I have to get my life together to get a cute outfit so that I can be super cute. I literally love dates. And I love doing fun cute romantic shirtless shove. And she's, she's lying to you. And she said she doesn't like it. And she's I'm also lying to you when I say she doesn't do romantic stuff, cuz she does do it for me. It's just not like over the top like Valentine's Day ask, you know, you mean? Like, she does cute shit all the time. Like she tells me I'm pretty and she like, gets me things that I really want and like food and like stuff like that. And she does it all the time for me. So it's not like she doesn't do that shit. It's just that like, I really want her to be super sappy sometimes, you know, and you can't really demand that from someone who's not a sap like that on Valentine's Day. So basically, that's what I'm saying. It's like drip that sweetness off. You like maple syrup. It's just not
Shove:my personality I really I can't leave She'll buy like, I didn't know. So she's
Rebel:like you are, but like,
Shove:I'm not.
Rebel:It's like you are but you don't you won't say it.
Shove:Hmm. I don't know. I don't know if anyone's gonna believe that. But bam. I love you. I love that you're my son.
Rebel:Yeah, I'm definitely more of a set for shove than she is for me. But I would argue that even though she's not a simp I don't think she can live without me there.
Shove:I definitely can't live without you.
Rebel:Yes. See? That's all that matters. Yeah, so that is Valentine's Day. I don't know if we really need to say anything else. Oh, we're going to the super fun show. It's the Terran Tina show. It's like a burlesque
Shove:we're not gonna talk about it. We'll talk about it next time.
Rebel:Yeah, we're not gonna talk about it. But it's gonna be really fun and I'm excited.
Shove:him already guess what it's gonna be by the name. Yeah. All right. I want to jump to the next section.
Rebel:Sure. But before that, I just want to tell you that and say Is that what you're gonna say? So beautiful and I love you very much any Happy Valentine's thing? Thank you. Okay next Welcome to the we'll world why did you like that? Why did you say it like because I was trying to be like one of those like, really? Like, like guys who have the deep voices
Shove:I am so confused and this is why I'm not a simple favor. I love
Rebel:you. That is so the opposite of true that those things are the exact reason why you do love me so you can't even lie about you're so freakin I know. That's why you love me. You can't say that's the reason why you're not innocent for me. People
Shove:listen to half the audience is like oh rebel. She's so funny enough. The audience is like, Jesus Christ. I will calm down. I stick around for shove though she bounces.
Rebel:It might be more of like a 7030 like 70 Shove 30 Rebel, but that's okay, because those 30 are hardcore. And I love you.
Shove:I know I'm boring. They're definitely here for the car crash.
Rebel:Speaking of car crashes, but not crashing just cars or other vehicles. What is sketching? Sketching is when you as a person on wheels, whether that be roller skating, or skateboarding or anything else, I guess that you have wheels on your feet for and you're holding on to something that is someone else moving faster than you're moving. So you can sketch off of a bike like you can hold on to the back of the bike. You could sketch off a motorcycle, you could sketch off an electric bike, you know, Java car,
Shove:it's a plan where it's hitching is like you hitch that trailer. But you're scheming so sketchy.
Rebel:Oh, man. I actually never knew that. That's where that word came from. I was like, Is that really where that word came from? That was so funny. I did not know that that Oh, so much says shading and hedging. That makes so much she was typing
Shove:something she's like, it's it's corrected, and I was like, it's not a real word.
Rebel:I get it now. Wow. We all learned something. Escape date? Yeah, so sketchings pretty cool. How many times have you sketched?
Shove:Oh, no, even like five
Rebel:times? I probably didn't like three times. Maybe four.
Shove:I almost died. Get you love her. Sam. Yeah,
Rebel:that's when you got staff at Mike. All that kind of stuff. And that was terrifying.
Shove:Yeah, it was on a literal like vispa type of bike because of the potholes. Very scary. That's when I learned one at nighttime. But specifically at nighttime, on a road you've never skated on before.
Rebel:Okay, we gotta say sketching is very dangerous and probably illegal. I don't know.
Shove:Oh, it's definitely Okay. Definitely. go skating the street. So Oh, yes, definitely. Yeah.
Rebel:So it's not legal. So we're not telling you to do it, but and it's not safe. We do. It's very fun. You go very fast. And you can go up hills with much more ease than having to skate up the hill yourself, which is very nice. And it's you just like get the feeling of wind on your face and it feels really
Shove:good. When I was in Miami. I got the sketch off of the back of a party bus. And there was like a mariachi band playing like No, they weren't mariachi, but it was like a band and they were playing this right Cuban music actually, and He was playing and we had like the trumpet and everything going, and we're like, Yeah, but then it was going on his list. We're like, Yeah, but this is still good. But it was epic because of the music. And it was so fun. And everyone was like Laci and like crazy, like, Oh my God, what's happening? And it was super fun. But um, yeah, sketchiness fun. I definitely am one of those people that will only sketch if like I asked for years, because I feel like if I do just grab on to a movie with cool that they're gonna see me and be like, a cue and go fast or something. So that's my fear. So I there's two types. There's some people that will just grab something and sketch off the bat. And then there's people that will like ask first,
Rebel:yeah, it's a wild. That's a wild thing. I've never sketch without asking. Although Actually, no, I sketched off a trolley at the wave of it. But they were really slow. So it was not really exciting. It was horrible. I ended up letting go and just get him. Yeah. But yeah, so they do have to go a little faster for it to be enjoyable. But we Skitch for a video that we made this past week with moxie. I didn't sketch but rebel did. Oh, yeah, I forgot. I sketched off her dad's Harley. It was pretty amazing. I also got to ride his Harley for the first time and it was so cool. I had such a good time. I felt so so badass. Yeah, it was awesome. And yeah, I just really loved sketching
Shove:super weird. Like I didn't sketch when the classic car when the Bel Air there was an awesome car came and everyone he was like cool with everyone skating with him. But for me sketching downhill felt weird, which is why I totally understand why like Michelle Stroh and spicy IV, like, laid down like Michelle did it first or they kind of like laid down on the hood and had their feet on the ground. Sketchy him and I was like, That would only work going back like downhill.
Rebel:Yeah, I didn't know like, I like grabbed onto it for a little while. And I was like, I already have so much speed. So I don't need you like pulling it. So I more like moved to the side and started dancing next to it. Because I was like, What do I do in this situation? Yeah,
Shove:I felt like I couldn't get I couldn't find the right speed of the car. I was like, trying to carve slow behind it. I was like, this is taking too long. And then I was like, whoa, I'm going too fast. And I was like trying to say next to it. And I was like, I just want to go fast like Ricky borrow, like Ricky Bobby. Bobby, shaken bake baby.
Rebel:Yeah, I mean, yeah. So sketching is super fun, super dangerous. Definitely do it if you get a chance. But like, don't do it. But like, do it you didn't mean
Shove:you sketchy, you like to be in the back of the car on the side.
Rebel:So for cars, I like to be on the side because I like to be able to grab, I feel like on the back of the car. A lot of times there isn't actually something to grab on to. Like it's more like a weird grasping kind of a thing. And I really like to have a good grip.
Shove:Yeah, it's like either the bumper or the, or the
Rebel:trunk handle. The trunk handle is one of those that isn't going to open. I'm totally cool with that. And I actually like the back a lot. Because aside, I'm always like low key concerned that my feet are gonna go under the wheel. Oh,
Shove:hell no. See, I want to be able to see what's coming in. So like, I don't like the back. I've always felt safest grabbing that little divider of like the backseat window in the front seat window like holding on to that, because then I can see what's coming. I know if I need to let go if I need to jump last minute. And when you're in the back, you can't really see that.
Rebel:Yeah, and I do what I was talking about something to grab on to. I love that section. Because I think that that's the best most sturdy place to hold on to. And then what I really liked and I didn't know that I like this because I had never sketched with multiple people until this last weekend. But I was in the back of like a line of people. And I really, really liked holding on with one hand and then like swinging back and forth like I was a big tail on the end of it. And like putting my legs out and that I even like side SIR for a little bit. And I was like, oh my god, this is so cool, because I saw Michelle doing it because Michelle was sketching on the other off the electric motorcycle. And they were doing all these cool tricks and I was like wait a second. I bet I can do that. So I was like hey, how you do that? She was like oh, you know you do this this and this and I just felt like oh my gosh, so I like leaned down a lot and then had my side wheels just out and it was just like going off of the side wheels and like all your weight was on one and it's honestly not as scary as you think it's going to be like doing tricks and stuff
Shove:that also if you're starting doing this like definitely gear up because There are so many things that go wrong, so many. So many things, especially like you're going faster than you would in your skates naturally, once you're going downhill. I would say if you're not good with flying down a hill, that speed you should not should not be sketchy. And you should also have someone you really trust the first time, that's only going to go like five miles power. Yeah. Even if they are going kind of slow, be ready. Because if they don't know to, like, slow down to stop, and they just put on the brake, you're gonna, like, hurt yourself or jerk. And you need to be able to like, be repaired and let go and keep rolling.
Rebel:Yeah. And also, like when you're sketching, you're usually in the middle of traffic. So like, be aware of that, because that's also very dangerous. And like, if you shoot out like you could literally get hit by a car. Yeah, in an instant.
Shove:Shoot me on it sketched off of Shane's motor. And all the way back to each Locksley HQ. And we drove there, and they got there before us.
Rebel:Yeah, it was really quick. But like, Yeah, I think it's, it's really, really fun. It's definitely dangerous. I would recommend for the first time because I think that my first time was that one time you took me up Juniper Barrow Hill. And I felt like that was a really solid choice for a first time skitching to go up hill to go up the hill. And the reason why that was is because if you had stopped or if you had gone too fast, and I had to let go, like the combined forces of like the speed going forward, but also the hill would keep me in the same spot like it would manipulate the speed quite a bit. So it wouldn't be overwhelming. And I felt like that was like a solid choice for me. And also Junipero Hill is very smooth. And so it was like, I knew I wasn't gonna run into a pothole or something like that, which is the danger that this one has experienced is running into potholes.
Shove:Yeah, that sucked really hard. Oh. Let's see, we sketch in front of our house on Valentine's Day. And that
Rebel:was on Valentine's Day. I remember driving and just being like, I'm so scared to drive. And have you sketch off of this car right now.
Shove:Yeah, that was fun. Because we didn't like or like it's smooth, straight. Let's just do it. And that was fun.
Rebel:Yeah. What inspired that? Why did we randomly decide to do that?
Shove:I don't know. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was right before the pandemic.
Rebel:Oh, yeah. It was it was good times. But yeah, shove was like, I really want to sketch and I was like, okay, just like, get out. And I already had my skates on. And you were like, I just want to like sketch home. And I was like, okay, yeah, we
Shove:turned the corner. And I was like, I just want to skate. And you're like, oh, sketches like, Yeah, I think yeah, how fast we go like 20.
Rebel:Yeah, like, 1520. Yeah, we started pretty slow. But then we went faster. But yeah, so it's, it's really fun. And that is my opinion on sketching. I really like it.
Shove:How do you feel about when you're the driver and you have people sketching off your car,
Rebel:I feel very scared, usually. Because you're
Shove:way more scared when you're the driver than when you're the skater sketchy? And definitely,
Rebel:because I feel like if something goes wrong, and you're driving and someone sketching, it's like, people's lives are in your hands. But if you're sketching, and someone else is driving, it's like, I know, I can control my own body and what happens to me, and like, I have safety plans, like I have exit plans for whatever's happening. And so I feel much safer being the person who's sketching that being the person who's draw a
Shove:fact that you can tell yourself that as a skater should be like, Oh, as a skater, I know that they'll be okay.
Rebel:No, because I don't know that everyone who's sketches off my car has this. I don't know, their experience. I don't know. There's their comfort level. I don't know. You know, I mean, like, I think that there's skaters that I'm like, I trust you, I know that you're going to be okay. But that I don't feel that way about many skaters. Like I don't have as extensive experience. Like if you were to sketch off my car, or if like Michelle estrogen was a sketch off my car, I'd be like, Yeah, cool. I have extensive experience with you both. Or if Kiana was to sketch off my car be like, yeah, sure, whatever. Like I know that even if worst case scenario, like some sort of accident happen in front, like, if all hell broke loose, y'all would be fine, because you would just like go off to the side stop really quick and like be fine. But like, I don't know, a lot of skaters like that. So I think that I would just be nervous.
Shove:Yeah, I remember thinking like, I wish I would, uh, there were some people I wanted to involve in that shoot. But I was just like, This is dangerous. Like I had to only pull the people that I knew could handle it. because like I was like, I'm not gonna be responsible for that. And it's like, not the time to like teach someone when it's like no motorbikes and motorcycles. And then like, hillbrow mean, and then lots of cars. Like, there were too many variables. And like, even as a skater like, you don't want to just throw a new skater into that, or a skater that's even a veteran skater, but doesn't do that style. Like that risky, kind of, like stunt skating. Yeah, that's when it's just like, you don't want to throw someone into that. So at first, I was like, oh, no, I feel bad. I should have included, like the other people that were local. But I was like, at the same time, like, I just, I just knew, like, it wouldn't have been right.
Rebel:Yeah. And I think so I think going back to like the actual act of sketching, I think that there's something that is more difficult about it than the then some parts that you maybe don't expect. And that is that the dismount, like finishing sketching, it kind of is all over the place, right? Like, you never know how finishing sketching is going to end up. Yeah, and a lot of times it ends up with like you being shot out in a certain direction. And you never know what that direction is gonna be like, it might be forward, it might be to the side, you know, like, you might not be able to stop super quick, like something that happened with us is because we were like so it was shoves dad on the Harley and then it was IV, Kiana and me. And so like key IV was holding on to the bike. Kiana was holding on to IV and then I was holding on to Kiana and so when the bike stops, and we're going at a pretty safe speed. But like I couldn't stop right away, like I couldn't even turn around to stop. Because like, if the space it would have taken even the small the small space that would have taken the turnaround toe stop, I would have run into Kiana who would have run into IV who would have been run into the bike, which then would like put your dad in danger and like just in a weird situation. So I every time was getting shot out around the bike. And every time we were stopping at like an intersection. So I was getting shot out into an intersection. So I had to know like, I need to be able to stop like a foot in front of that stop sign. And if I can't, then I'm officially not safe. Like, definitely not. So knowing that like, Okay, you got to have an exit strategy for the ending point of it is, I think also something to consider when we're talking about sketching.
Shove:Yeah, definitely. I don't know, for me, it's like fun. Because even if I'm driving, I'm like, Yeah. And I definitely get this little devil on my shoulder. And it's like, drive faster.
Rebel:Yeah, and I definitely get that. That's all that's like, please go faster.
Shove:Go slowly. And I'm always like communicating like, are you good? Like, I like to have all my windows down. I don't play the music cloud. So and I'm like, be like, are you good? You want to go faster? Like I asked first. And then I go a little bit and it's like, a tiny bit at a time when I know I need to stop. But it's like I slow down very casual, like early on. So it's not like that. It's it's like, very, like precious cargo. But I definitely love when I go faster.
Rebel:Yeah, cuz if they stopped super fast, not even like super fast, like not slamming on the brakes, just like a regular stop and a car. There's like a big chance that like, here's the back windshield. And here's you and you just like her run into it. Like a big chance. Because if it's a fast stop, you have to somehow like get around the car. Yeah. And stop as opposed to just like, you know, like, you're not going to t stop. Yeah, like
Shove:I don't know, I really love sketching because I love the adrenaline of it. It's so fun. Yeah, it's just like, it's it's risky. It's like getting on a roller coaster like the fear of death. Except a roller coaster is more safe.
Rebel:Yes, definitely. Yeah, I really like it. I think it's a good thing to like, know about and a fun thing to talk about. And I'm so stoked that we were able to do it this past. Did
Shove:we talk about street skating? Last episode? Yeah. So we're just talking about like the risky types escaping apparently.
Rebel:I think we're in a kind of a moment for that. I think we're just kind of into that right now.
Shove:Yeah. Like, I'm a casual street skater uninstall dangerous. So and part of being an even like, I don't do you consider sketching aggressive skating, or is it just still like concrete surfing?
Rebel:I think that's like beginner aggressive skating. Yeah, because I don't think that concrete people who consider themselves concrete surfers, I don't think would necessarily feel comfortable with sketching necessarily. I think it's like one of those fence teetering ones, like you would have to be an advanced concrete surfer in order to sketch
Shove:cuz I guess I'm not even a concrete surfer. I'm an asphalt surfer.
Rebel:Yeah, no, I definitely think that you're beginner Street. I would term you as beginner street. When you say concrete surfer I'm like,
Shove:well, because like I don't like since I'm not doing like tricks and stuff. I just like, I can navigate the streets more, and I use the sidewalks. He will not catch me on the sidewalk, unless there's like a cop watching me. Or like the streets really jacked off. I feel safer in the street all the time. But you also
Rebel:come up with random trick ideas. So I feel like you're just like one step away from doing those tricks. Because I feel like your mindset is very strange.
Shove:I had rebel do a cool thing today.
Rebel:Yeah, it was fun. I just I like went down this little like side of the street workout thing. And then I jumped off.
Shove:Yeah, she jumped over some woodchips and landed on the path. Yeah. Yeah,
Rebel:it's pretty cool.
Shove:I have the eye for things that I know can be done. It's just I also have the fear. And I know like, I feel like if I didn't have that much fear, I probably could attempt and man these things. But I have that voice is like, Bitch, no. So I tell other people that I know have the not only have the ability, but have the like, hold my beer mentality. I have them do it. Because it's like, I'm like that skateable and I know that can go to that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then they do it. And I'm like, anyway,
Rebel:all I'm saying is that we're instigators, and don't invite us around unless you want.
Shove:But you insulate with like some off the wall shit that I'm like, that's not even possible. No. Or
Rebel:you want to know why? Because I'm around too many really good skaters. So I just come up with the most off the wall shit. And I'm like, Dude, I know you can do this. Like, like, you can for sure do this. It's sometimes they can do it. And it's amazing. And other times they're like, I could do something similar to it. And then they do other cool shit. And I'm like, see? But yeah.
Shove:Oh my gosh. So yeah, always sketching. Do it if you're ready, but don't say that we made you do it.
Rebel:Yeah, because we officially on the record are telling you not to sketch. wink, nudge nudge wink wink. Okay. All right, let's move on over to our Trick of the Week Okay, so what is the Trick of the Week, babe?
Shove:It's a new sexual lock that we talked about each week. This week is Cincinnati bow tie. What is it? You
Rebel:know, that's so great
Shove:to ski. The week something we saw that were like, holy macaroni.
Rebel:Holy macaroni, that's a trick. It might even be the trick of this whole week. So today's trick comes
Shove:from shove found it Josh underscore bat smoke.
Rebel:Yeah. And there's a website on this called bat smoke gaint.com. I don't know. But it's really dope
Shove:into like entertainment. So smoke entertainment. Oh,
Rebel:okay. So why don't you describe what's going on in this video. Alright, so
Shove:this video is three amazing black men, two are laying on the ground. One stands opposite of them. And then like gets down low and like grabs their legs and then like leans back slowly and they balance each other out as other two guys like their chest lift up and they're just like teeter tottering. It's insane. Like, I don't understand the core strength the leg day workouts he made
Rebel:I think that's actually I think it's a guy and a girl on the ground. It
Shove:is a girl yeah.
Rebel:Oh my god, it's so wild. But they like end up being kind of like a tabletop position. Yeah,
Shove:it's some kind of weird physics, but I know like, also, if you're being lifted up that way, you got to have that core right to hold straight.
Rebel:Yeah, you have to hold straight or else you're that's insane. It's insane. That's like military training. That is some shit you would see on Tik Tok for
Shove:sure that's some shit that I would be like, drink a little too much and be like, let's try it and I would definitely be the guy that's like lifting both people up and then I would definitely smack my head on the concrete and be like, that was a fail.
Rebel:Yeah, definitely. Send this to me and Michelle this last week and we were like I
Shove:was like, this is some dumb shit. I 100% think I could chew and fail miserably.
Rebel:I think that this real deserves so many more views than it has, like, Yeah, this is out of control. How does this only have 4000 views like what?
Shove:I don't know, but since I opened my phone to see check of the week, which we'll jump right back into. I saw Lizzo and today is a roll Sunday and her Super Bowl outfit. Oh my god. So must go look, whenever you're listening to this. We like Super Bowl.
Rebel:Yes. Let me just I'll just live amazing. I want that. So living has literal footballs on her boobs.
Shove:But anyways, um, yeah, I feel like when it comes to trigger week first I was like, oh, what Park Saturday. See? And then I was like, Wait damn stuff. There's so many things you can do on your skates. That's a cool trick. So like, I want to make sure it's not all just like Park stuff.
Rebel:Yeah, let me tell you that the close runner up for the Trick of the Week came from Jason skates. And it is this new spin he's been working on and it is out of control. I feel like babe, I need to show you. So I don't know if you've seen it yet. But it is this spin. Oh, yeah. Why is that madness. It's like him spinning on his toes on one foot with the other foot behind him out of control. Anyway, so that's my runner up Trick of the Week. Also Jason your trick, and I love you. Oh my gosh. Um, yeah. So that's a trick of the week. I hope you enjoyed that segment. Okay, let's move on.
Shove:Time to talk about our obsession.
Rebel:This is my favorite segment. Not gonna lie. I love this segment.
Shove:I have been obsessed. And I'm very sad because I finished it yesterday with euphoria. Want WAMP? Emily? I know I'm no Emily. We didn't have HBO. So we thought and then we figured out that I have access via one of our friends. So I was like, Oh, now there's like 500 Different HBOs I don't think it's that one and then rebel RousHer. She's like we have because I was literally was like, I am hearing so much about you for you. And I think like I'm gonna relate to it so much that I am going to pay for each age because getting that extreme. So like, started watching it and like, man, man finished season two.
Rebel:I'm obsessed. This is also something that I wanted to be as my obsession, but then I was like, shoves gonna pick this. So it's okay. So I still get to talk about it. But oh my god, it is so real. It is so well done like that. I think this TV show is really well done. I think it portrays the reality of drugs and sex and real life issues really well.
Shove:Assumptions to say, Okay, one, I think I kept hearing people talking about that I follow like, how it's glamourizing and drugs and everything. And I would ask those people if they've actually watched a show, because no, it makes you it's really honest about how fucked up drugs to make your life. I think the only time that glamorize was like when Joel's was at that party in the city, and like, you know, it was just like, oh, everything was wonderful. And like how sex Ana and whatever, like Mali, even what happened on Mali, like with two of the characters, like very, was just like, oh, that's embarrassing. You know, I mean, like, it was never like, a fully like good choices were made or anything. So I think it's like, yeah, like when it comes to drugs, the way I stand is like, there are drugs that can ruin your life, there are drugs that you if you don't have an addiction problem. You can partake care in there. And like, I don't know, like the show just really like shows you like the grit and how bad it can be. There were also a lot of people that I think watch a show and think, Oh, this is so unrealistic. But these are not things that would happen to high school kids. Now I'd like to say sorry, I'm like choking on my water. I would like to say that some of the most absurd things that are in the show have happened to me while I was in high school and some like right after high school like late teens, early 20s that are absolutely insane. Like what? Like I have gotten drunk from an elementary could be four. So the whole ASHRAE thing is not not that far fetched. Unfortunately, I didn't grow up in Compton for a huge chunk of my life. And due to the poverty and then the lot, you know, systemic racism and just like the ad parenting, some of these kids ended up being raised by drug addicts and drug dealers and ended up selling it young age. I remember like, after high school, taking my ex boyfriend, and taking my boyfriend at the time to go to a punk show in Compton. And we went to pick up my friend and her husband first. And then we picked up our other friend and her little brother, who was that that kid sold us drugs. And he like, said, rolling up a plant. And my boyfriend was like, what's happening? And I was just, like, Just be quiet, and we get out. And he's like, that kid just rolled a plant with a hole. And I was like, yeah. Like, it's just like, weird if your reality is so different, like, it's just really like these stories, a lot of times as far fetched as they might seem, a lot of times we're someone's reality, like, we're rooted in truth. And like, nah, this kid didn't have these tattoos, but had that same kind of personality was very, very similar to like character.
Rebel:Yeah, really, I think what's gotten me the most is just like the, I don't know, I the way that they just like, I think a lot of movies and TV shows make it seem like recovery is a lot easier than it is. I think that a lot of movies and TV shows show people like going to rehab, and then maybe relapsing like once, and then they just like, figure their shit out. But I think that euphoria does a really good job of showing the reality of a lot of people who end up with drug addictions, and how like, it's a lot of deceit. Like it's a lot of manipulation. It's a lot of like, continuing to go back, because it's not easy to get clean. And it's not easy to like, I don't know, be surrounded by all the people that you are surrounded by when you were addicted, and like really deep into I don't know, I just feel like it's yeah, it's real,
Shove:the depiction of what it's like to be bipolar and have anxiety with Roo. That's what I know, like, for me, like drugs really helped a lot for me, because like, is, I didn't know as anxiety at the time. And I didn't know that there was like, all these things. I was feeling that I couldn't identify at the time as well. But I knew when I had drugs that I felt like every day, I was powerful, and everything was amazing. And like, I could do whatever I wanted and talk to anyone make friends. Like even though I was like, looking like TEV I just kept doing it and kept doing it because I felt like it made me sane, which definitely was not, but it gave me like all those fillings that I couldn't fill naturally. It like kept me going. And that's why when I did come down, like I was so tired, not just physically tired, but like I did fall into like, even harder depression because like, I did use up all that natural serotonin. So like a lot of that in that show, though, was like when people would tell me that might be triggering, like to someone that was a former drug at it. And like it was like for a while it didn't feel that way. But there were little things throughout the show where I was like, I relate to that I relate to that. And I relate to that or like that. That's what it's like, but like, I can only imagine like opiates, like luckily that wasn't around or like a big thing when I was in high school when I became a drug addict because I think if I would have been on opiates it probably would have been like all over that's a whole nother ballgame.
Rebel:Yeah, definitely scary. Yeah. Anything else to say about you for you
Shove:know, jump to your obsession. I feel like I could do a whole freakin segment.
Rebel:Also the makeup is amazing. And I want to do all my makeup like that. Okay, so my obsession is it's another tick tock her. Okay, so this tick tock Her name is Savannah moss, and her tech talks are all about exceptional customer service. And when I say exceptional customer service, I mean like the weirdest freaking shit. She makes these like dream sequence kind of things and like, like it just doesn't make any sense. She has a lot of like milk and like I don't know how to describe it, except that it's so weird. You literally feel like you're watching a dream. It's It's so bizarre it feels like you're in a trip or something strange. And you're just like, in a loop and you're just there and you just keep scrolling and I swear to God, I spent like an hour just like going through all of her posts because I was just so let me just let me just play one for you find a good one. Okay, let me see. Here's one that just this one is her most popular one.
Shove:Excuse me. Can I have all your money? Sure.
Rebel:Can I get anything else for you? The milk she's missing the cup. She just turned the milk upside down she just jumped in like a 360 and fell over your money. Oh, by the way, the person gave the her all their money out. It is so weird. It's like what's happening is
Shove:always there in a Starbucks uniform, or McDonald's manager. She's worked at both places. And as you
Rebel:know, it's just so fast.
Shove:Like the editing skills and the whole plan is like very elaborate,
Rebel:so elaborate, like she'll like lean over and fall and then they'll just be like, close. They're like, it's just like, what happened? Yeah,
Shove:it's definitely like being in like your dreams. Like it's insane. It's so creative.
Rebel:I love it. I don't know how to say I've had this as a dream before without actually having this as a dream before, but I've definitely had this as a dream before. And also, I feel like this is also the experience that I had when I was on shrooms that one time. Like I feel like everything like see if she hasn't done drugs. I I feel like she shouldn't because I feel like she would just go to some crazy elaborate places. More she should because who knows what her tiktoks would look like after that. Anyways, I don't know. We're not encouraging drugs on this episode. It's just it is a lot of drug talk. I feel like maybe I should put a heads up at the beginning of this episode. We do kind of talk about drugs a lot. But anyways, this whole idea of like exceptional customer service and like, like, oh, like it's like the upside down for customer service.
Shove:Yeah, you just need a watch. It's like, you just
Rebel:gotta watch it. I don't know you just gotta watch it and then come back and tell me what you pay because like out of control. I just don't even know. I don't know how to describe it except
Shove:your watch that oh, it's like get high watches laugh and you watch euphoria and be like I will never do drugs again.
Rebel:Okay, the only way I can describe euphoria in like another another media form is like watching Requiem for a Dream as I hear pronounce it. Yeah, never my favorite movie. Yeah, it's so good. But it's also one of those ones that are like oh, man drugs. Fuck
Shove:you up, dude. Yeah,
Rebel:they do. Anyway,
Shove:it is no hope for you again. Oh,
Rebel:so don't do drugs and come back next week because we have more skate date for you then. We do. Yeah, we have more skate day. Just keeps on going. It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's skate date.
Shove:We love y'all. We love you so much. Happy not happy Valentine's Day. Happy
Rebel:Valentine's Day. We love you so much and go on another day with us later. Okay.
