Thank you for joining us. We are IBS. Ingrid. Brandon. And Samantha. So, you know, today we're just talking about our 2024 resolutions. So I don't know, what do y'all got? The hesitations. Now, honestly, like I've been seeing these videos and it's like, why are we still doing resolutions in 2024? Facts. And I feel like everyone always has the same one. Lose weight. Lose weight. Get fit. Get out of the gym. Literally, eat healthy. Exactly. And who's completing them? I need to find that person who's actually completing the 2024 resolutions. Facts. No, one resolution, like one thing I actually want to do is read more books. Like, I have this whole collection of books. I've read maybe two of them. So that's one thing I really want to do. I agree. I want to start doing that because I feel like I've always lacked, like even like through elementary school, I never liked to read. And I'm like, I feel like I need to start getting into that because I'm going into my 20s and I don't know, like I want to do something that is like productive or like that can help me, you know, with my school. Because we're just like learning more things outside of what like I'm learning in school. Girls at 20s as if we're getting old. You're gonna be so surreal. You know what they say? That they're the new 20s. So it's like a simple 20 years. Wow, I've never heard anyone say that. Let's be honest. Who in their 20s is actually affording kids in this economy? Who can actually afford to buy a house? Literally. Insane. For me, I'd be just getting more busy. I wanna do more. Like I was telling my parents, I was like, I don't want to be done with the car. So I might get a new job, second job. Ooh, we love that for you. But he doesn't like to be in debt. Nope. He doesn't like it. Capitalism at its best. Very good. Literally. That's one of them. Mm, what's the other one? Ooh, for me, it's actually sticking to a skincare routine. Yeah. I love that. I would say being more organized and like having like, or like, I'm just lazy. And I like, what I'm supposed, or like having like a schedule, like, oh, like in the morning, like I have to make my bed. Like the first thing I do, I have to make my bed. Like regardless if I'm like too cold or like anything, like I have to like make my bed, get up, like brush my teeth, like put water on my face. Cause I mean, I don't have like, I guess the skin routine or whatever. And then like keep my poop, yeah. Keep my room clean and just be productive. Cause I feel like last year I was so like lazy or I had like no motivation to like do anything. Cause I was like, oh, I'll just like do it tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow. Do it tomorrow. That's what I mean right now. Oh my God. Yeah. Like stick to a better like schedule. It's the fact that we said 2024 resolutions. What is that? But yeah, here we are. Talking about what we're leaving in 2023. Let's talk about that. You know what we should leave in 2023? Like completely skinny jeans. I'm gonna say men. Okay. Obviously men, obviously. A hundred percent. Like men. What is that? Skinny jeans. Who was wearing skinny jeans in 2023? 2024? I know what, sorry, excuse me. Early 2023. I feel that was a personal attack, to be honest. Oh, it's just wrong. Men. I think men should wear men. I think, I don't know if they still wear skinny jeans. Oh my God. You know what, let's just leave men in 2023. Let's just leave it at that. Go away, sorry about skinny jeans. What's another one I'll go? You have to leave, don't worry about it. Stanley Cups. What did you pick? Stanley Cups. Oh, Stanley Cups. I spent way too much money on Stanley Cups. I spent way too much money on Stanley Cups to be moving them in 2023. I'm sorry. It will make a bigger, no, actually, I feel like Stanley Cups like became a lot more famous during the holidays. Like, did y'all see the video of people running to get the Valentine's? Yeah. Bruh, I was really concerned for real. Like, I like a good Stanley Cup, but not that bad. Not that bad. But where people woke up and were waiting outside the store. People like buy a whole bunch to like resell them? Or like, why? I heard that they were reselling for over $200. Yeah, and that's when I was like, I wish I was that person waiting outside the store. That's like triple, quadruple the price of Stanley Cups. And the fact that people actually like buy them off the resellers is insane. It's even more crazier. Yeah. It's the fact that you have $200 to spend on a Stanley Cup. That's concerning. That is. Wasn't it first Hydro Flask and then like, what's this called, Jerome? Uh-huh. And then like, different colors. And then it moved on to Yeti Cups. Oh, yeah. And then from Yeti to Stanley's, no? I never jumped up the Yeti trend. I went from Hydro Flask to Stanley. You know what we should leave in 2023? What? Overthinking, procrastinating, and last minute changes, people. Time management, bro. Like- Time management. Like, people need to actually show up on time. I agree. I have. This year, really great. No one's pulling back. I'm sorry. This girl is taking it as a personal attack. I'm trying. It seems like you're deflecting something. I'm sorry, what are you trying to say? I'm trying. I'm really trying. Now, in all seriousness, you know what's one thing, like, which I'm probably not gonna do in all seriousness, I'm probably not gonna do it. I saw one thing to do, like, this year, and I saw this on a movie, and I was like, that's cringe, but looky. And I was like, do one thing that scares you, like, every month. Oh my God. Like, challenge yourself, you know what I mean? Yeah. But, like, that's such a good one. Because it can be anything. You kidding? Our generation calling to complain about food. It'd be scary. Like, it seems like our generation has, like, or, like, anxieties, like, all of that, that literally, I even, like, talking to someone or complaining about something, like, oh, it's something, like, like, I remember me and Brendan, we went to Krispy Kreme, and one of the donuts looked like someone had, like, poked it, or, like, taken a bite of it. And then Brendan, it was like, should we complain? And we're like, should we? I don't know. And then we're like, no, no. And then waiting for, what was it, our drink or something? Yeah, we were waiting for our drink. And it was the elf ones, the elf donuts. Yeah. Yeah, why are they so expensive? For real? They have the hole, because it's where they had piped them to fill it in. Mm-hmm. It just was like, okay, why'd you pipe it, like, so much on top? You could've done it in the bottom. All right. Yeah, and we were like, should we complain? And we were like, no. Right. No. I was gonna be like, can I? I was like, yeah, you can go. No. Yeah, no. See, there was this, like, post I saw, and it was like, our generation will go out and protest, but they would never call if they got their order wrong. Literally. Literally. Just saying that, you know, we don't want to be Karen. Or we're low-key afraid of becoming a Karen. Literally. Or just, like, confronting someone, like, about it, and being like, oh, like, you did this wrong. And then, like, them telling you, like, oh, actually? Like, no, we didn't. Like, maybe they're trying their best. Maybe they're having a bad day, you know? I don't want to remember that. Literally. And yeah, stop procrastinating, because this semester is gonna go way too much homework to do. It's scary. I'm scared for myself. I'm scared for myself. I'm scared for you, too. But I was writing my, like, ins and outs of the new year, and, like, those were my outs. My ins were, like, reading more books, spending more me time, healthy eating, sticking to schedule. So far, they're not working, but, you know, we'll get there, eventually, at some point. Literally. Yeah, like, I, you know, it's like, you have to start, like, literally the first week of, like, January, or, like, your resolutions have to be, like, right when the year starts. Like, why can't you start in February? Or why can't you start in the middle of January? Like, why is it always, oh, you have to start at the beginning of the year. Exactly. Like, we said we were going to the gym, but my thing is, I didn't go to the gym, because, you know, everybody's going to the gym at the beginning of the year. It's still before. So I'm like, you know what? I'll start later on in the year. Because that's embarrassing, because everybody knows it's peck, because everybody started their new year resolution. All right. And it slowly dies down. And I don't want to be judged. I have way too much anxiety for that. We'll see when we start. We'll see when we start. At this point, next, I was like, when was it this weekend? I was like, I'll start Sunday. I was like, you know what? I'll start Monday. It's Tuesday already. Literally. I was thinking, I was like, I'll start when school starts. So then I have like the routine, like I'll go to classes. And then, or like before my class, I'll go to the gym. You know, like having that schedule. I mean, we're still on break, so. Exactly. See, another reason why not to start today. Yeah. Ingrid, what do you have to tell us? What do you got for us today? It's fine. I don't know. I haven't like really thought about it, CDH. I think it was mostly just like, just paying off my car. I think that was like my main priority. That's it. Oh, for the gym though. I was thinking about that. I was like, I wanna go to the gym. But like, I wanna go to the one next to me because everyone from high school and my work goes there. And I'm like, ooh. I'd rather drive 20, 30 minutes to go to the gym than to just be up there. But I'm like, nevermind everyone else that's in that gym. Everyone. I'm like, ugh. Oh my God, are we gonna sign up to Equinox? The what? Yeah, Equinox. But there's a- There is, that's the question. It is a, let's see what the membership is for Equinox. It's a fitness club. It's a gym. Do they have a pool? Of course, Equinox. Okay. I've never heard of that. They have one in Orange. Oh, maybe we should not be saying locations. But they don't have one till Newport Beach. Newport Beach? By the way, this is not sponsored by Equinox. Equinox, if you wanna sponsor us, we'd be more than happy to. Transformation video. Yes, we'll do a whole transformation video. At this point, any gym, hit us up. LA Fitness. LA Fitness. Newport Health. Yeah, yeah, but they have like- I'm trying to find options. No, no, no, go for it. I was like, I'm trying to find like something like near school so I can be like morning class there and then dance class on Wednesdays. Gym first and then dance class? We have to have a schedule planned in. We need to lose weight. Like something like near school but it's not like- Yeah, well then first of all, it's LA Fitness on the Kaleidoscope. Oh yeah, that's true. It's okay. Anything so we can go to the gym? No, that isn't. No, because I think that's the only one you're in. Well, okay. Let's set our goals for 2024. Let's do that. What do we ask for? Not sponsored, in 2024. Okay. I want to be more motivated. So she said let's cure depression. Literally. Yeah. I want to be motivated. I want to just have a set like schedule and like not doing other things or being lazy and being like, oh, I'll just do it tomorrow. I'll just do it tomorrow. I'll just do it tomorrow. Yeah, no procrastinating. And that's pretty much it. Realistic things that I hope I accomplish. Cause I mean, I guess losing weight too, but kind of pushing it. Not the kind of pushing it. No, I mean, so like that goes under like scheduling and having like a set like schedule. Like I want to incorporate like the gym or like some type of like fitness. Because I mean, like besides like losing weight and stuff, like also for like my health. Cause like I literally go up the stairs. I'm like out of breath, which is like, that is not okay. No, I can't judge. Can't judge. So, yeah. We should start going on runs. Oh no, you want to go on a hike? Cause it was freezing. Our home never gets cold. Oh, girls, no excuses. That was a hoe, we left that in 2023. Remember, our body count resets. I lost my membership. I am a new and renowned virgin. I love that hoe. I love that. What are my goals? I don't know. Ingrid, do you want to go? I'm trying to think about it. I'm thinking about it and then I'm like, what are my goals? Like building, like Samantha said, like doing a schedule cause I feel this semester for like all over the place. Like work was not set. I was like working around on a day. Oh, it was like, cause like the semester we had, I was like set like three, four hours at school, just in the library, just like going through homework and everything. And I feel, I like really put less time to it. And then now I'm like all over the place. I'll just stay there until like what? Five, six, and then check out right away. I want to stay like office hours. I'm like, ooh. Okay, did y'all ever go to office hours? I have never gone. Me neither. I would. We love a star student. We love that. And then like the professor, I was like, oh, we didn't buy the phone. Is it off? Office hours? No, I can't buy the professor. We're good children. It's like, whatever, I mean, you go, ask questions. It's like a whole hour. They're just like tutoring you. They're just like explaining to you. Cause like no one goes. And they're like. That's embarrassing. But like my chem professor, he was really chill. He was like, I'm just saying, I was like. That's good. But. There's probably one thing I should do more this semester. Actually, attend the hours. No, but for my goals, I think I pretty much said it already. Read more. Focus on me. Stick to a schedule. Get some exercise done. Yeah. At least one day. It'll be an accomplishment. Once a week? It's not a day. A week? You're pushing it now. No, I said once a week. Oh, I said once a year. Oh. Oh. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, obviously. No, I want to do it more often. I want to actually start exercising. I just, I'm picturing myself as an exercising, a gym bro. That is very good for the abs. Exactly. All for the abs. Skinny legend. Hourglass. A BVL. Don't think too bad. I'm thinking about it. And then I'm like. I want a BVL. This girl's been wanting a BVL forever. Give me something. I want to make a dessert. Do you serve or do you serve? That's the real question. That's the new Shakespeare of, what was, what was? No, maybe we're getting. To know or what to know. No. What is it? Forget about that. It's giving. I'm losing my mind. It's giving Dory not remembering. No comment. Not the side eye. Oh, and obviously, you know, like actually release podcast episodes. You know. That would be nice. This is not an anti-sex drive. We will. We will. Yeah. I think that's pretty much good for today. Thank you everybody for joining us. I hope you didn't absolutely go to sleep. It's giving. They're going to use this as white noise to fall asleep. I know. Keep an eye out for other episodes releasing very soon. We are IBS. Indra. Brandon. And Samantha. Keep an eye out and thank you for joining us. Bye. Bye. Bye. My last three brain cells.
