thank you for talking about complicated family dynamics during the holidays. growing up it was always me, my mom, and my (abusive) dad during the holidays sitting in silence and tension. but this year he died. so my mom and I went to our home country for christmas to see extended family and it was the happiest (or only happy) christmas I’ve ever had. I always wanted that large, joyful holiday family gatherings as a child and felt resentment towards people who had it, and now I’ve gotten to try it and am already so excited for the next one. i feel like shouting it from the rooftops but it’s a weird thing to explain to anyone, so I appreciate the space for it to be discussed openly
So happy for you. I hope no one ever tries to invalidate the joy and freedom you feel without your dad’s abuse. I remember my first therapist asked me, “What would you do if your dad just… disappeared? Nothing bad necessarily, he just… no longer existed. What would that feel like?” And that was like Pandora’s box. I feel your relief through your writing. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not surprised. Some linguistic research showed that cows have regional accents. I remember a TH-camr testing if humans could identify the cow from their region and funny enough I could recognize the American one. The rest sounded somewhat off lol
Heard this only by word of mouth so don’t quote me - I heard the curvature of their tails has something to do with it too? Like cats with extra curly tails have heavier accents
Animal behaviorist here! Animals absolutely have accents! A common example is Black-Capped chickadees. Most NA chickadees call with the "hey sweetie" call that's 2-3 syllables, but the same species in the Pacific NW has a 3-4 syllable call on the same pitch.
Is it a common thing for boy dogs to act like that with other boy dogs? Bc I swear almost every normie male dog owner I know has told me their dog is gay lol
As an only child of a single mother I relate to Jordan. I remember crying asking my mom why we couldn’t be like other families. It’s a very hard thing for a child to understand.
@ more of the reason I was so unhappy with our situation was the fact that my dad had passed when I was young, I was still coping with. We also moved around a lot and to different cities.
I had a very different family set up but I remember the same thing, many nights crying wishing i could have a mother who comforted me or acted "nuturing" like how I thought moms were supposed to be. She was being horribly abused by our dad--I understand now that we all were--and we were all just doing our best to love each other. Now I'm 21 and our relationship is ridiculously good, I love my mom and I know she loves me and we hang out all the time!
wow i can't believe y'all are having a merch sale at the capitol on the 6th for my birthday and no other reason because nothing ever has ever also happened on january 6th amirite boys haha let's GO
I appreciate the discussion about complicated families. I often feel ostracized because I have a different than average relationship with my family, which always comes up around the holidays for me too
jarvis talking about how his little nephew sort of 'looking up' to him when he was able to talk about anime stuff with him was so real, I have cousins that age and when i can connect with them in ways like that about stuff im also passionate about its one of the best feelings ever like, there's this little human who was born after my interest in these things began and now i can talk about sea creatures or anime or art with them its mind blowing
My cousin was murdered and his case is cold. My aunt and I both took a hard turn to listening to true crime pods after his death, and I think some of it has to do, at least for me, with not feeling alone in experiencing something truly random and traumatizing. I got really into the true crime community online because I thought people understood me. Turns out, it's pretty traumatizing to have total strangers bringing up the most grievous thing you've ever experienced and talking about it like it's a middle school riddle. I was super plugged in online for about a year, and then it was just too much. Even when nobody's talking about my cousin, it's hard not to extend what they say about similar crimes/victims to him. People have gotten so desensitized too. My cousin was shot. But when I say he was killed, people in the true crime community expect and anticipate some horrible story or something, as if what happened to my cousin isn't "juicy" enough unless he was kidnapped or tortured or something. Idk how to describe it, but when you've grieved a cold case, it is damn insulting to me for a random stranger to dig into my cousin's case and grill me as if they're gonna solve it in 20 minutes after a dry martini and a quick snack. It's like his whole life gets reduced to the worst most grievous memory I have, and then that memory is treated like a game of low stakes checkers or a fun little riddle. I still consume true crime media but I'm really picky about it. True Crime Cruise is soooooo irreverent and tone deaf. Imagine the worst thing youve ever experienced and then people go on a fucking cruise themed around your trauma like it's a damn game! If anyone genuinely wants cold cases solved, why not put these hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this cruise to organizations that actually support victims of crimes and fight to solve cold cases.
I wanted to thank you guys for making this podcast, it’s been the closest thing to hanging out with very funny older cousins. Y’all make me laugh a lot in a way not other podcasts do.
History often repeats itself. There were often distant family members of a murdered families in the 1800s who charged $20 per person to “tour the murder house”. The true crime cruise is very reminiscent of that to me
I think I needed to hear this at this very moment…. My mom kicked me out of the house in September and my older sister kicked me out of her house in the beginning of December. I’ve never had a holiday season alone so this time has tremendously hard and I’ve been struggling. But it is really nice to see someone that has experienced this time of year with complicated feelings .
Thanks for bringing up complicated family dynamics. I relate a lot to the feeling of “I don’t know how to do this” around most of my family. It doesn’t feel easy or relaxing even though our time is special and I love them.
That whole discussion of having an unusual family or little family during the holidays was actually very nice to hear. I barely have any family (my dad went no contact with everyone on his idea except his siblings, their kids, and his mom bc the rest of them are terrible to a criminal degree and I've gone no contact with my whole mom's side, including my mom) and I'm not 18 yet so Friendsgiving wasn't really possible to arrange. Hearing everyone having big feasts and getting a bagillion gifts was kind of tough and it's nice to know I'm not alone
As someone whose friend was murdered, the only true crime I can stand is Sinisterhood. The co hosts consist of a lawyer and a woman who worked with DV victims so their goal is always to have a call to action if the victim's family needs pressure put on cops etc and they've directly interviewed stalking organizations for resources. Their cryptid and paranormal episodes are more lighthearted and hilarious.
Mike higher productions has a few podcasts that center around the victims and their families and they recently started a foundation to help fund searches and help families with gene tests and so on. My favorite podcast of theirs is lights out, it’s very respecting of the victim while also putting heat on cops/law enforcement for how they drop the ball in so many cases.
So glad for this vid today because 1) I'm staying overnight somewhere unfamiliar and 2) I have fallen asleep to the Boyz before so I know I can put them on if I need help sleeping Thanks Jason and Johnson ❤
from someone who works in a veterinary er… some gp vets absolutely don’t practice good medicine and fully investigate the problem and it infuriates me. like if someone told one of our doctors their dog couldn’t lift their head the first thing we’d do is x-rays…. not just jump to euthanasia🤦
Thank you so much for saying this, I was looking for someone else reacting like this. As a long time vet assistant, then vet tech, now in vet school…. Conversations like this always drive me nuts and make me so sad. Sadly true that GP vets are often shockingly incompetent (also worked in ER for 5 years). I still hate hearing people talking about vet med who have no idea what they’re talking about.
to be fair, from what anastasia said it sounds like the vet DID suggest x-rays/other testing, which the clients initially declined for financial reasons, and then the vet suggested euthanasia as the alternative option (as opposed to doing nothing for a clearly sick/suffering animal, or ig supportive care?) and then after seeking out advice from the pet psychic they decided to go ahead and invest in the testing (which confirmed what the pet psychic said, you go pet psychic) and treatment. *from someone has also worked in vetmed!
Seriously every one of your episodes recently has been healing something deep inside me. Dad’s partners, complicated families, christmas expectations, guilt, ugh all of it. Thank you.
Loved the discussion about complicated family situations, boyz! I completely relate to having felt that resentment towards people who had strong, stable familial relationships. Spent most of my teen years in a state of "Why me?" Of course, I overcame that and I'm now always happy for people with more positive (or just less complicated) situations than my own. I also avoid talking about it in any kind of detail, because it is seen as a failure in some way or people will look at me with pity. It's so validating to hear you talk about how difficult the holidays can be with dysfunctional/estranged families, so thank you for that! ❤️
The failure or pity thing really hits. I never grow comfortable with the look of shock and horror on some people’s faces when I tell them the othering that has happened to me in my family.
@rizzbusiness I feel that! Even hearing people speak about "how long it's been" since they've seen some of their relatives and then it actually only being six weeks or so makes that feeling hit again, because it's been so many years for me and it's a reminder that that's not "normal" or whatever. I hope you are doing okay, and that it helps even in some small way to know that there is a community of people who do understand what it's like. 💕
Echoing a lot of folks here, I got a lot of comfort from hearing about y'alls complicated feelings around family and the holidays. Thanks as always Boyz, and sending love to everyone else dealing with Family Stuff during the holidays and year-round.
also this is def one of my fave episodes, heartfelt and silly just the way i like it. thank u for being vulnerable w each other + a bunch of internet strangers :)
11:07 bonus of wearing an N95 for covid is you also breathe in a lot less of the material in cig smoke (and less pollen and pollutants for you hayfever and asthma sufferers!)
Just like many commenters, I know it’s not uncommon to have a non tradition family dynamic but it does bring me comfort hearing both your experiences. As someone who feels like they sometimes have to explain their family choices to others, I really relate to that feeling at times, of an envy towards what others have. But what I’ve learned to find joy in is the fact that I’m an adult and I get to choose my own traditions and people I surround myself with. Much love
42:16 *”I NEED UPPIES, DUMBASS!!”* is the best Jordan line ever, I’m weak 🤣 56:59 Jarvis’s smile fucking EVAPORATED oh my godddd 💀 1:16:13 Jupiter also has rings, they’re just not nearly as visible as Saturn’s, so there’s no losing there, Jordan. (Neptune and Uranus also have rings. All our gas giants have them. Saturn just has the most defined and notable ones 👌🏻)
I definitely feel you guys when it comes to family and the holidays. When I wasn’t on speaking terms with my parents, it was anxiety inducing as hell. The Covid years knocked a little bit of sense into them though. It’s also wild realizing we’re the adults now and part of the “responsibility” (I guess) of maintaining relationships with birth or chosen family is on us. It’s so strange lmao
1:02:35 Yes, actually! I don’t know for certain about domestic dogs, but there was a study that proved European wolves howls were demonstrably different from the howls of North American wolves!
I got a seasonal light finally and it’s been a huge game changer for me. I fully relate to the distant family relationships, not loving holidays and seasonal depression- it’s so common I think even people who are close with fam and love Christmas relate to a certain extent.
The family portion had me feeling seen. You're certainly not alone in any of that. Thank you for bringing it up despite your anxiety around the topic bc a lot of us feel the same. ❤
As someone who smoked cigarettes from the age of 13-23 and hasn't touched one for about 4 years now, its such a wild concept to me that people are still out there killing themselves with how anti-tobacco society has become. Nobody pressuring them to look cool or commercials saying it feels good. Just raw dogging addiction.
As someone who's quitting nicotine it's hard. Im embarrassed to be the person to hit the vape, or take a break outside. It's not always easy, though that's no excuse. As I said, I am quitting but some of us get really caught up in the addiction, the stress relief etc. We all deal with struggles in our own way. The anti tobacco views of the world have definitely helped but yeah a lot of us aren't happy or willingly rawdogging addiction, we're stuck and desperately trying to get out
@@FleegyMcSkiddz my apologies, I think there was a misunderstanding. I wasn't trying to comment on people in the process of quitting. Believe me, I know that feeling. I meant people STARTING the addiction in this day and age. It just seems like there isn't any reason other than I guess boredom to smoke tobacco. Especially with weed becoming the "cool new legal" thing.
It breaks my heart. Every new generation had a lower number of smokers than the generation before them, and then vapes became commonplace and Gen Z picked up the mantle that the silent Gen dropped when they got lung cancer 😭
This was the first year for me that Christmas was actually nice. Growing up, our household always had really bad money problems that got worse around the holidays (and winter was also hard because we were farmers) and my dad also had a horrible temper. So we had to walk on eggshells around him or he would start berating everyone over nothing. And my mom is a hoarder, so the stress of her house was really bad in the winter when we had to be cooped up inside. We also always had to go to my extremely fundamentally religious grandparents house, which everyone hated. And one year my dad was having a really bad affair and the weird lies and fighting were even worse. This year, i have my own apartment, and i invited my family over. Im a cook, so i made the whole christmas dinner, and money was less tight with my parents and there was no fighting. My sister and her wife came down and stayed with me, and we didnt go to my grandparents house for the first year in my life. (Especially since they dont know my sister is married, especially to a trans woman) It was the first year of my life that on Christmas we had no arguments, a clean house, real gifts, good food, no fear or dread of extended family, and everyone left happy. It felt bizarre.
My dad’s gf hates both of his kids but treats her kid like a perfect angel. Her son is 27, no job, and lives at home, so my dad has to pay all the rent. Kicker? She doesn’t even live there. Once he moved in, she made him take over the bills so she could stay in a cabin. I had to move in for about 6 months after I lost my job and she’d tell my dad I need to move out every day even though I was cooking and cleaning for everyone. My dad. Had a heart attack after 2 months of me being there, most likely for all the stress she caused. I really don’t understand why he chooses to stay with her
the holidays always stress me out so much. I always cry on Christmas :/. it’s hard when you don’t have mmm emotionally mature parents. The constant thought of “why can’t I have a normal family”
So I’ve been on a number of cruises (not a cruise lover just keep ending up on them with family) and one of the activities we did was a 2 part lecture about the titanic, on the bloody cruise. Great lectures but a weird context for them 😂
24:21 I feel the same way as someone who, genuinely, struggles to even say I “love” one of my brothers. Like he just isn’t a good person, there’s no way around it. And he’s hurt me significantly, but I can’t say he’s added anything to my life either. I mean at best we were cool, but that’s it. I can’t rely on him, he’s homophobic (I’m a big ol lesbian), he isn’t a considerate person, and he doesn’t really try for anyone. Not even our parents. So yeah. I get non traditional familial relations. You’re not alone Jarvis, no need to be embarrassed!
it was really nice hearing you guys talk about family and the holidays. i also have a somewhat untraditional family structure and siblings that are far apart in age and it makes the holidays feel weird. was really validating to hear your experiences, thank you ❤️
Fun fact, there are different "accents" per breeds as well as animals that grow up in different regions or situational environments! Its harder for us to notice though because we dont take in account things like "universal language". Like how a person can yell at us, we may not know what theyre saying from their words, but we can still tell that theyre mad and can figure out what theyre talking about with context clues.
This comment is mostly for Anastasia because of the story she told but I would really recommend the memoir What My Bones Know. It's heavy but ultimately healing.
as someone also with an unconventional family situation i also struggle with not being resentful of my own situation / of people who have what i never got. i’ve made what i have work, but holiday seasons and times when other people have a large, close family around them always get to me a little.
I relate so hard to Jordan’s relationship with his dad and Jarvis with his siblings. Thanks for talking about it and normalizing it for people who haven’t experienced the same
It’s comforting to know that Christmas was maybe a little weird for everyone this year. I lost someone really close to me this year and my family was just in an odd state. I saw less family than normal and the holiday wasn’t very Christmasy. As much as I wish everyone could’ve had a good Christmas, I’m still comforted to know it was weird for a lot of people.
My worst New Years Eve, the "party" was in a cabin with no cable, wifi, or CELL SERVICE. The only clock with a second hand was my near dead cell phone. Of the 4 people in attendance, 2 of us made it to midnight. I declined kissing the only concious human, opting for the stinkiest hug Ive ever experienced.
@alanarama you're not wrong, that cabin was one of the sketchiest places I've ever been. There was a guy who liked to take drugs then wander around the woods with a pig mask and a fire axe at night. It's almost too creepy to be believed.
Thank you for talking about your family situations around the holidays. It's always been difficult for me, but hearing that other people have this shared experience of not having the "ideal" family experience makes me feel a little less alone since all of my friends have family traditions they participate in during this time of the year.
ok but that thing about women hating their boyfriends' children is so true!! My bio dad's girlfriend hated me so much that SHE put up rules and a set time for how long I could stay when I was visiting my dad. and the man was just ao spineless he didn't do anything about it at all. when I got older and visits became less frequent we would often just meet and spend time at my grandma's instead, since she was living close to me and had a relatively big house (definitely bigger than his apartment) Looking back on this now when the woman can actually hold a conversation with me now is just so weird.
I know this may not comfort you at all but you should know that there are more untraditional family arrangements than there are traditional in the world, and we all experience this same sadness during the holidays - the biggest seasonal indicator that you’re not in a poster family.
Loved your discussion about family dynamics and holidays. As someone who's very distant from his family and doesn't have tghe best relations with them, it feels nice to see other people talking about the many feelings associated with them, and how you can feel left out with all the family time talk during this time period
My parents split when I was 11 and my sibling was 9. We lived in a northern remote location in Canada and my mom took us about a 6 hour drive away. They obviously did NOT like each other and they used my sibling and I as in between to schedule kid swaps. Saw my for a week 2 times a year. He always had to make the longer drive... even as we moved further and further away. I'm so glad I had my sibling to go through that with.
BTW Jarvis, my family is very similar to what you describe and have been that way my whole life, even as we grew up under the same roof. my brother and i never fought but were also like… coworker level of closeness. We are only now active in each other’s life every day because we live together. During the time where we lived 90 minutes apart, I talked to him here and there and hardly saw him in person. You have to be so busy to survive these days, I would hope no one judges another for not having ample time to spend with their family.
thank you for talking about those complicated family situations so openly. i've been struggling really badly with my own family situation because of a death on my mom's side that i have been no contact with for two and a half years. having to process not only that but also re-living the reasons i went no contact in the first place has been really rough, and it's easy to feel like i'm bad or wrong for my relationship with all of that. hearing you both talk so openly about your situations with family was a much needed reminder that this stuff just happens, i'm not alone in family struggles and having mixed feelings about it all doesn't make me bad. thank you guys❤
As most have said, i appreciate the talk about family dynamics and communication. My immediate family is actually very traditional, but we have the same sort of communication you talk about here. We all live in different parts of the country so we don't get together often. I love my brothers and would absolutely be there for them if something happened, but I only really talk with them a few times a year. My sister and i are really close, but we often go weeks without texting. It's definitely something I feel kinda weird telling people sometimes cause they seem to think something has to be horribly wrong if you aren't in constant communication.
IVDD is super common in Frenchies. Rate of recovery without surgical correction is not very good, and it can recur. Hard to surgically correct and diagnose without hospitalization, MRI, as well as X-ray, images read by radiologist, then consult with neurologist and surgical specialist. You're looking at $10-12k at some places in SoCal before a surgeon starts working on the spine.
Thank you so much for saying this, I was looking for someone else reacting like this. As a long time vet assistant, then vet tech, now in vet school…. Conversations like this always drive me nuts and make me so sad
I knew I related to Anastasia. I feel so much of her story and relate so much. Love doesn't need definitions, holidays are about appreciating the people you love, that's it. Make your own families and traditions!
Again this podcast is my company when I’m going through a moment that idk how I feel, and even when the guys are talking about something, that is not even slightly related to, I feel so validated ❤
This year me and my closest friends got to spend the New Year (we don't celebrate Christmas in my country) together, and it was great. We're all young adults from different family dynamics, and among us the words "spending the holidays with relatives" usually causes "awww, I'm sorry" response, ahah. But I think friends are family, too, and sometimes they are more of a family than your blood relatives.
Thank you so much for talking about families during the holidays, this is something I struggle with this a lot (especially since most ppl in my life do have a good relationship w theirs) and it’s so comforting to see this video and to read the comments…it helps a lot. I’m currently struggling with the envious feelings, I’m happy to hear these emotions don’t last forever (also having to talking w ppl that don’t understand this is so awkward…like bro no I didn’t get any gifts, yes I was alone and ppl make it so awkward after that🥲)
Also! I’ve discovered (thanks to therapy) that I can take my complicated family in whatever doses I feel like. So I get to see them on holidays when I feel festive and they’re on their best behavior 😂
I completely understand how Jarvis feels about his family interactions. I have a big family and don't really talk to my cousins, most uncles, or even my Grandma. I love them to bits but, like Jarvis said, we all just have our own stuff going on. I didn't even tell them all Happy New Year and would never be able to get them all Christmas gifts. Sometimes I think that I should reach out more or that I'll regret not being closer to them but idk.. we're not built like that
ouch, they really did talk about feelings and other things also. this all resonates HEAVILY with me as a transmasc person in a toxic household. i've quite literally never felt at home in me body or physically in a home. the only place I have felt at home is with me gf and in her home around her family.
I think yall nailed the divorce feeling. I'm 19 and out of the house for college but the end of last year brought news of my parents splitting after being together my whole life. It might not influence me a whole lot but as the oldest I've been tryna be the best possible older brother for my siblings (15 and 13) who ACTUALLY feel the split as my dad takes my brother and my mom takes my sister. It's not something I grieve alot and I get its for the best but damn been stressing for my brother and sister
I'm glad to hear you guys talk about complicated family relationships around the holidays. I also feel like I'm just starting to connect with my family as an adult (growing up was very tumultuous for me so I missed out on a lot).
I appreciate the talk you had about family and the holidays, it can be very complicated for a lot of people, i went through foster care, both my parents died, my guardian was abusive, my younger sister passed a few years ago, it’s a lot of negative emotions but i do hope one day they turn positive ❤
Thank you for speaking on the difficulties surrounding family and the holidays. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. It feels so lonely experiencing these feelings ❤
I really appreciate the acknowledgement of complicated family stuff. I have 2 younger estranged siblings and it can be so complicated even just answering questions like "do you have siblings?" And no one really gets it when I call myself an only child twice removed
This christmas was I think possibly my first ever christmas where there was no drama or people yelling, and then I took a nap and got woken up cause my moms heart stopped and I had to resuscitate her.
The stuff about the holidays and complicated family situations was so cathartic to hear about. I have a rough history with Christmas and this year was particularly rough for similar reasons to what they touched on, it’s cliche but it’s so validating to hear those feelings shared
The talk about the complicated family unit really meant a lot to me. I get it Jarvis, I have problems trying to discuss some aspects of my family with others due to thinking of it as a failure. I have a brother that is ten years younger than me and we don't talk as much as I would like. I love him, but it is hard when you don't live together and things are so complex.
shoutout to “the staying in sf during the holidays” lifestyle. ever since i started college i’ve spent most holidays/breaks in sf and i also get asked to pet sit 😭❤️ thanks for the very specific representation lol
1:18:56 I’ve never been on one because I’m not particularly wealthy, but I think themed cruises are cool! I wish there were more themed luxury vacation options, like themed weekends at resorts and such. Yeah, true crime is a minefield of distasteful or downright disrespectful pitfalls so this is a weird example… But cruises do themes often and to be able to vacation with activities themed around your own interests & with people who share them is a super awesome concept. Basically, this is just one of many themed cruises & this one interest happens to be kinda distasteful.

See you guys at the Capital! I'm bringing my American flag for Jordan to sign in solidarity with his citizenship!
I'm so excited to get in there. No matter what, we will get IN THERE!! 😂😂
Omg sad boyz meet up on Jan 6th??? I hope Canadians are allowed to show up cuz Im so Proud of these Boys!!!!
don't forget your buffalo horns 😂
Jordan’s Jan. 6th merch sale bit is never not going to be funny. I love it every time 😭
I love that it's canon now every episode, Jordan will make a Jan. 6th reference and it's funny every single time 😂
thank you for talking about complicated family dynamics during the holidays. growing up it was always me, my mom, and my (abusive) dad during the holidays sitting in silence and tension.
but this year he died.
so my mom and I went to our home country for christmas to see extended family and it was the happiest (or only happy) christmas I’ve ever had. I always wanted that large, joyful holiday family gatherings as a child and felt resentment towards people who had it, and now I’ve gotten to try it and am already so excited for the next one. i feel like shouting it from the rooftops but it’s a weird thing to explain to anyone, so I appreciate the space for it to be discussed openly
Seriously so happy for you. Hope this new family journey continues to bring much love and joy to your life and your family's life ❤
You deserve all the happy Christmas. Happy you and your mother are free now. May 2025 be the beggining of a lifetime of happiness for you. ❤
So happy for you. I hope no one ever tries to invalidate the joy and freedom you feel without your dad’s abuse. I remember my first therapist asked me, “What would you do if your dad just… disappeared? Nothing bad necessarily, he just… no longer existed. What would that feel like?” And that was like Pandora’s box. I feel your relief through your writing. Thank you for sharing.
That’s beautiful to hear 🎉
This is really sweet. I'm so happy for you guys
cats literally do have accents based on where they live, and part of it is that cats imitate human speech to a degree with their meows.
I'm not surprised.
Some linguistic research showed that cows have regional accents. I remember a TH-camr testing if humans could identify the cow from their region and funny enough I could recognize the American one. The rest sounded somewhat off lol
My cats have Scottish accents then hahaha
Heard this only by word of mouth so don’t quote me - I heard the curvature of their tails has something to do with it too? Like cats with extra curly tails have heavier accents
Animal behaviorist here! Animals absolutely have accents! A common example is Black-Capped chickadees. Most NA chickadees call with the "hey sweetie" call that's 2-3 syllables, but the same species in the Pacific NW has a 3-4 syllable call on the same pitch.
Is it a common thing for boy dogs to act like that with other boy dogs? Bc I swear almost every normie male dog owner I know has told me their dog is gay lol
great episode boys! I listened to it at 120x speed but I think I understood some of it
Great idea!
i love this community lolll
Only plebs listen that slow. My brain processes at 180x just fine
I'm watching at 0.25x speed so I REAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY absorb it.
@@Bou_Diran Amateur. I listen to the podcast paused so I can truly understand what they mean.
As an only child of a single mother I relate to Jordan. I remember crying asking my mom why we couldn’t be like other families. It’s a very hard thing for a child to understand.
I hear a lot of people say this yet I feel like I never had that. I was kind of content that it was just me, my ma and the dog
@ more of the reason I was so unhappy with our situation was the fact that my dad had passed when I was young, I was still coping with. We also moved around a lot and to different cities.
I had a very different family set up but I remember the same thing, many nights crying wishing i could have a mother who comforted me or acted "nuturing" like how I thought moms were supposed to be. She was being horribly abused by our dad--I understand now that we all were--and we were all just doing our best to love each other. Now I'm 21 and our relationship is ridiculously good, I love my mom and I know she loves me and we hang out all the time!
wow i can't believe y'all are having a merch sale at the capitol on the 6th for my birthday and no other reason because nothing ever has ever also happened on january 6th amirite boys haha let's GO
it’s actually bc I’m starting a new job on the 6th & they’re proud of me! nothing else happened! (also happy early birthday!)
This is a common misconception, it’s actually because I’m getting a haircut on the 6th!
@@midwest_elf oh that makes so much sense duh (thank you, and congrats on your new job!!)
@@AnnaRenee you gotta have a fresh cut to go with your newly acquired merch! it’s perfect timing
I love how true to the intro this show is, they talk about feelings, and then ill be damned some other things also
they didnt say which one is jarvis and which one is jordan
An easy way to tell is: Jordan says wa-uh, while Jarvis says water. Except occasions where they BOTH say wa-uh. Then they become one.
They actually fused recently
Jordan and Jarvis are the ones behind the camera

im so confused 😫
I appreciate the discussion about complicated families. I often feel ostracized because I have a different than average relationship with my family, which always comes up around the holidays for me too
jarvis talking about how his little nephew sort of 'looking up' to him when he was able to talk about anime stuff with him was so real, I have cousins that age and when i can connect with them in ways like that about stuff im also passionate about its one of the best feelings ever
like, there's this little human who was born after my interest in these things began and now i can talk about sea creatures or anime or art with them its mind blowing
my nephew realizing I've seen the shows he likes is always so fun
of course a true crime fan would want to set up an environment where there's maximum true crime potential
if you live long enough, you become the true crime!
My cousin was murdered and his case is cold. My aunt and I both took a hard turn to listening to true crime pods after his death, and I think some of it has to do, at least for me, with not feeling alone in experiencing something truly random and traumatizing. I got really into the true crime community online because I thought people understood me. Turns out, it's pretty traumatizing to have total strangers bringing up the most grievous thing you've ever experienced and talking about it like it's a middle school riddle. I was super plugged in online for about a year, and then it was just too much. Even when nobody's talking about my cousin, it's hard not to extend what they say about similar crimes/victims to him. People have gotten so desensitized too. My cousin was shot. But when I say he was killed, people in the true crime community expect and anticipate some horrible story or something, as if what happened to my cousin isn't "juicy" enough unless he was kidnapped or tortured or something. Idk how to describe it, but when you've grieved a cold case, it is damn insulting to me for a random stranger to dig into my cousin's case and grill me as if they're gonna solve it in 20 minutes after a dry martini and a quick snack. It's like his whole life gets reduced to the worst most grievous memory I have, and then that memory is treated like a game of low stakes checkers or a fun little riddle. I still consume true crime media but I'm really picky about it. True Crime Cruise is soooooo irreverent and tone deaf. Imagine the worst thing youve ever experienced and then people go on a fucking cruise themed around your trauma like it's a damn game! If anyone genuinely wants cold cases solved, why not put these hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this cruise to organizations that actually support victims of crimes and fight to solve cold cases.
I wanted to thank you guys for making this podcast, it’s been the closest thing to hanging out with very funny older cousins. Y’all make me laugh a lot in a way not other podcasts do.
so sad there’s not 2,025 boys for this ep :(
You can't prove they're not invisible
History often repeats itself. There were often distant family members of a murdered families in the 1800s who charged $20 per person to “tour the murder house”. The true crime cruise is very reminiscent of that to me
I think I needed to hear this at this very moment…. My mom kicked me out of the house in September and my older sister kicked me out of her house in the beginning of December. I’ve never had a holiday season alone so this time has tremendously hard and I’ve been struggling. But it is really nice to see someone that has experienced this time of year with complicated feelings .
why did they kick you out? is there some gofundme we can donate to?
Thanks for bringing up complicated family dynamics. I relate a lot to the feeling of “I don’t know how to do this” around most of my family. It doesn’t feel easy or relaxing even though our time is special and I love them.
That whole discussion of having an unusual family or little family during the holidays was actually very nice to hear. I barely have any family (my dad went no contact with everyone on his idea except his siblings, their kids, and his mom bc the rest of them are terrible to a criminal degree and I've gone no contact with my whole mom's side, including my mom) and I'm not 18 yet so Friendsgiving wasn't really possible to arrange. Hearing everyone having big feasts and getting a bagillion gifts was kind of tough and it's nice to know I'm not alone
My family’s the same but reversed parent wise,, you’re not alone in that feeling🤍 take care🫶
As someone whose friend was murdered, the only true crime I can stand is Sinisterhood.
The co hosts consist of a lawyer and a woman who worked with DV victims so their goal is always to have a call to action if the victim's family needs pressure put on cops etc and they've directly interviewed stalking organizations for resources.
Their cryptid and paranormal episodes are more lighthearted and hilarious.
Mike higher productions has a few podcasts that center around the victims and their families and they recently started a foundation to help fund searches and help families with gene tests and so on. My favorite podcast of theirs is lights out, it’s very respecting of the victim while also putting heat on cops/law enforcement for how they drop the ball in so many cases.
So glad for this vid today because 1) I'm staying overnight somewhere unfamiliar and 2) I have fallen asleep to the Boyz before so I know I can put them on if I need help sleeping
Thanks Jason and Johnson ❤
from someone who works in a veterinary er… some gp vets absolutely don’t practice good medicine and fully investigate the problem and it infuriates me. like if someone told one of our doctors their dog couldn’t lift their head the first thing we’d do is x-rays…. not just jump to euthanasia🤦
Thank you so much for saying this, I was looking for someone else reacting like this. As a long time vet assistant, then vet tech, now in vet school…. Conversations like this always drive me nuts and make me so sad. Sadly true that GP vets are often shockingly incompetent (also worked in ER for 5 years). I still hate hearing people talking about vet med who have no idea what they’re talking about.
to be fair, from what anastasia said it sounds like the vet DID suggest x-rays/other testing, which the clients initially declined for financial reasons, and then the vet suggested euthanasia as the alternative option (as opposed to doing nothing for a clearly sick/suffering animal, or ig supportive care?) and then after seeking out advice from the pet psychic they decided to go ahead and invest in the testing (which confirmed what the pet psychic said, you go pet psychic) and treatment. *from someone has also worked in vetmed!
Seriously every one of your episodes recently has been healing something deep inside me. Dad’s partners, complicated families, christmas expectations, guilt, ugh all of it. Thank you.
Loved the discussion about complicated family situations, boyz! I completely relate to having felt that resentment towards people who had strong, stable familial relationships. Spent most of my teen years in a state of "Why me?" Of course, I overcame that and I'm now always happy for people with more positive (or just less complicated) situations than my own. I also avoid talking about it in any kind of detail, because it is seen as a failure in some way or people will look at me with pity. It's so validating to hear you talk about how difficult the holidays can be with dysfunctional/estranged families, so thank you for that! ❤️
The failure or pity thing really hits. I never grow comfortable with the look of shock and horror on some people’s faces when I tell them the othering that has happened to me in my family.
@rizzbusiness I feel that! Even hearing people speak about "how long it's been" since they've seen some of their relatives and then it actually only being six weeks or so makes that feeling hit again, because it's been so many years for me and it's a reminder that that's not "normal" or whatever. I hope you are doing okay, and that it helps even in some small way to know that there is a community of people who do understand what it's like. 💕
Aren’t cruises, like, inherently a true crime cruise? If it’s not murder, it’s usually a lack of enforcement of regulations.
I need a podcast on all the towels stolen on cruises
@@Azarxii true petty crime, an untapped market
Echoing a lot of folks here, I got a lot of comfort from hearing about y'alls complicated feelings around family and the holidays. Thanks as always Boyz, and sending love to everyone else dealing with Family Stuff during the holidays and year-round.
jarvis ur sweater is EATINGGGG
also this is def one of my fave episodes, heartfelt and silly just the way i like it. thank u for being vulnerable w each other + a bunch of internet strangers :)
Jarvis, buddy, that sweater is absolutely money!!!!!
11:07 bonus of wearing an N95 for covid is you also breathe in a lot less of the material in cig smoke (and less pollen and pollutants for you hayfever and asthma sufferers!)
Thank you so much for sharing your insights on complicated family dynamics and feelings around being together. I relate to so much 💜
HAPPY NEW YEARS SAD BOYZ AND GIRLZ AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN!! 🎉🎉
Just like many commenters, I know it’s not uncommon to have a non tradition family dynamic but it does bring me comfort hearing both your experiences. As someone who feels like they sometimes have to explain their family choices to others, I really relate to that feeling at times, of an envy towards what others have. But what I’ve learned to find joy in is the fact that I’m an adult and I get to choose my own traditions and people I surround myself with. Much love
I was so glad when my parents got divorced. It was a super nasty divorce but they were HORRIBLE together!
42:16 *”I NEED UPPIES, DUMBASS!!”* is the best Jordan line ever, I’m weak 🤣
56:59 Jarvis’s smile fucking EVAPORATED oh my godddd 💀
1:16:13 Jupiter also has rings, they’re just not nearly as visible as Saturn’s, so there’s no losing there, Jordan. (Neptune and Uranus also have rings. All our gas giants have them. Saturn just has the most defined and notable ones 👌🏻)
I definitely feel you guys when it comes to family and the holidays. When I wasn’t on speaking terms with my parents, it was anxiety inducing as hell. The Covid years knocked a little bit of sense into them though. It’s also wild realizing we’re the adults now and part of the “responsibility” (I guess) of maintaining relationships with birth or chosen family is on us. It’s so strange lmao
I'm obsessed with Jarvis's sweater. It's amazing.
A murder mystery themed cruise seems fun. But a true crime cruise is just tacky.
Right? Like give me a ms marple experience and I'll have fun but ... Real life terrible things that happened to people?
1:02:35 Yes, actually! I don’t know for certain about domestic dogs, but there was a study that proved European wolves howls were demonstrably different from the howls of North American wolves!
i love jarvis' sweater so much. those colours are so cute.
I got a seasonal light finally and it’s been a huge game changer for me. I fully relate to the distant family relationships, not loving holidays and seasonal depression- it’s so common I think even people who are close with fam and love Christmas relate to a certain extent.
The family portion had me feeling seen. You're certainly not alone in any of that. Thank you for bringing it up despite your anxiety around the topic bc a lot of us feel the same. ❤
As someone who smoked cigarettes from the age of 13-23 and hasn't touched one for about 4 years now, its such a wild concept to me that people are still out there killing themselves with how anti-tobacco society has become. Nobody pressuring them to look cool or commercials saying it feels good. Just raw dogging addiction.
I won't speak for everyone but for me school bathrooms alone progress addiction, some environments just foster/encourage smoking
In my experience it's one of the addictions that is widely considered acceptable to do at work. Smoke breaks, vape sharing etc
As someone who's quitting nicotine it's hard. Im embarrassed to be the person to hit the vape, or take a break outside. It's not always easy, though that's no excuse. As I said, I am quitting but some of us get really caught up in the addiction, the stress relief etc. We all deal with struggles in our own way. The anti tobacco views of the world have definitely helped but yeah a lot of us aren't happy or willingly rawdogging addiction, we're stuck and desperately trying to get out
@@FleegyMcSkiddz my apologies, I think there was a misunderstanding. I wasn't trying to comment on people in the process of quitting. Believe me, I know that feeling. I meant people STARTING the addiction in this day and age. It just seems like there isn't any reason other than I guess boredom to smoke tobacco. Especially with weed becoming the "cool new legal" thing.
It breaks my heart. Every new generation had a lower number of smokers than the generation before them, and then vapes became commonplace and Gen Z picked up the mantle that the silent Gen dropped when they got lung cancer 😭
This was the first year for me that Christmas was actually nice.
Growing up, our household always had really bad money problems that got worse around the holidays (and winter was also hard because we were farmers) and my dad also had a horrible temper. So we had to walk on eggshells around him or he would start berating everyone over nothing. And my mom is a hoarder, so the stress of her house was really bad in the winter when we had to be cooped up inside. We also always had to go to my extremely fundamentally religious grandparents house, which everyone hated. And one year my dad was having a really bad affair and the weird lies and fighting were even worse.
This year, i have my own apartment, and i invited my family over. Im a cook, so i made the whole christmas dinner, and money was less tight with my parents and there was no fighting. My sister and her wife came down and stayed with me, and we didnt go to my grandparents house for the first year in my life. (Especially since they dont know my sister is married, especially to a trans woman)
It was the first year of my life that on Christmas we had no arguments, a clean house, real gifts, good food, no fear or dread of extended family, and everyone left happy. It felt bizarre.
My dad’s gf hates both of his kids but treats her kid like a perfect angel. Her son is 27, no job, and lives at home, so my dad has to pay all the rent. Kicker? She doesn’t even live there. Once he moved in, she made him take over the bills so she could stay in a cabin.
I had to move in for about 6 months after I lost my job and she’d tell my dad I need to move out every day even though I was cooking and cleaning for everyone. My dad. Had a heart attack after 2 months of me being there, most likely for all the stress she caused. I really don’t understand why he chooses to stay with her
6:25 tbh the switch STILL has this problem sometimes if there isn’t a dock where you’re taking it LMAO
the holidays always stress me out so much. I always cry on Christmas :/. it’s hard when you don’t have mmm emotionally mature parents. The constant thought of “why can’t I have a normal family”
I feel ya there
i am a pet psychic too. my hedgehog is planning my execution.
So I’ve been on a number of cruises (not a cruise lover just keep ending up on them with family) and one of the activities we did was a 2 part lecture about the titanic, on the bloody cruise. Great lectures but a weird context for them 😂
24:21 I feel the same way as someone who, genuinely, struggles to even say I “love” one of my brothers. Like he just isn’t a good person, there’s no way around it. And he’s hurt me significantly, but I can’t say he’s added anything to my life either. I mean at best we were cool, but that’s it. I can’t rely on him, he’s homophobic (I’m a big ol lesbian), he isn’t a considerate person, and he doesn’t really try for anyone. Not even our parents. So yeah. I get non traditional familial relations. You’re not alone Jarvis, no need to be embarrassed!
it was really nice hearing you guys talk about family and the holidays. i also have a somewhat untraditional family structure and siblings that are far apart in age and it makes the holidays feel weird. was really validating to hear your experiences, thank you ❤️
1:02:55 they do have different bark accents! based on area.
Yes! I was gonns comment this, there's been studies of wolves and they have distinct regional "accents"
Fun fact, there are different "accents" per breeds as well as animals that grow up in different regions or situational environments! Its harder for us to notice though because we dont take in account things like "universal language". Like how a person can yell at us, we may not know what theyre saying from their words, but we can still tell that theyre mad and can figure out what theyre talking about with context clues.
This comment is mostly for Anastasia because of the story she told but I would really recommend the memoir What My Bones Know. It's heavy but ultimately healing.
as someone also with an unconventional family situation i also struggle with not being resentful of my own situation / of people who have what i never got. i’ve made what i have work, but holiday seasons and times when other people have a large, close family around them always get to me a little.
I relate so hard to Jordan’s relationship with his dad and Jarvis with his siblings. Thanks for talking about it and normalizing it for people who haven’t experienced the same
It’s comforting to know that Christmas was maybe a little weird for everyone this year. I lost someone really close to me this year and my family was just in an odd state. I saw less family than normal and the holiday wasn’t very Christmasy. As much as I wish everyone could’ve had a good Christmas, I’m still comforted to know it was weird for a lot of people.
My worst New Years Eve, the "party" was in a cabin with no cable, wifi, or CELL SERVICE. The only clock with a second hand was my near dead cell phone. Of the 4 people in attendance, 2 of us made it to midnight. I declined kissing the only concious human, opting for the stinkiest hug Ive ever experienced.
That sounds like the start to a classic horror
@alanarama you're not wrong, that cabin was one of the sketchiest places I've ever been. There was a guy who liked to take drugs then wander around the woods with a pig mask and a fire axe at night. It's almost too creepy to be believed.
The murder mystery cruise... REALLY sounds like it'll lead to the plot of a Danganronpa or Zero Escape game.
Thank you for talking about your family situations around the holidays. It's always been difficult for me, but hearing that other people have this shared experience of not having the "ideal" family experience makes me feel a little less alone since all of my friends have family traditions they participate in during this time of the year.
ok but that thing about women hating their boyfriends' children is so true!! My bio dad's girlfriend hated me so much that SHE put up rules and a set time for how long I could stay when I was visiting my dad. and the man was just ao spineless he didn't do anything about it at all. when I got older and visits became less frequent we would often just meet and spend time at my grandma's instead, since she was living close to me and had a relatively big house (definitely bigger than his apartment)
Looking back on this now when the woman can actually hold a conversation with me now is just so weird.
I know this may not comfort you at all but you should know that there are more untraditional family arrangements than there are traditional in the world, and we all experience this same sadness during the holidays - the biggest seasonal indicator that you’re not in a poster family.
Loved your discussion about family dynamics and holidays. As someone who's very distant from his family and doesn't have tghe best relations with them, it feels nice to see other people talking about the many feelings associated with them, and how you can feel left out with all the family time talk during this time period
My parents split when I was 11 and my sibling was 9. We lived in a northern remote location in Canada and my mom took us about a 6 hour drive away. They obviously did NOT like each other and they used my sibling and I as in between to schedule kid swaps. Saw my for a week 2 times a year. He always had to make the longer drive... even as we moved further and further away. I'm so glad I had my sibling to go through that with.
BTW Jarvis, my family is very similar to what you describe and have been that way my whole life, even as we grew up under the same roof. my brother and i never fought but were also like… coworker level of closeness. We are only now active in each other’s life every day because we live together. During the time where we lived 90 minutes apart, I talked to him here and there and hardly saw him in person. You have to be so busy to survive these days, I would hope no one judges another for not having ample time to spend with their family.
thank you for talking about those complicated family situations so openly. i've been struggling really badly with my own family situation because of a death on my mom's side that i have been no contact with for two and a half years. having to process not only that but also re-living the reasons i went no contact in the first place has been really rough, and it's easy to feel like i'm bad or wrong for my relationship with all of that. hearing you both talk so openly about your situations with family was a much needed reminder that this stuff just happens, i'm not alone in family struggles and having mixed feelings about it all doesn't make me bad. thank you guys❤
As most have said, i appreciate the talk about family dynamics and communication. My immediate family is actually very traditional, but we have the same sort of communication you talk about here. We all live in different parts of the country so we don't get together often. I love my brothers and would absolutely be there for them if something happened, but I only really talk with them a few times a year. My sister and i are really close, but we often go weeks without texting. It's definitely something I feel kinda weird telling people sometimes cause they seem to think something has to be horribly wrong if you aren't in constant communication.
IVDD is super common in Frenchies. Rate of recovery without surgical correction is not very good, and it can recur. Hard to surgically correct and diagnose without hospitalization, MRI, as well as X-ray, images read by radiologist, then consult with neurologist and surgical specialist. You're looking at $10-12k at some places in SoCal before a surgeon starts working on the spine.
Thank you so much for saying this, I was looking for someone else reacting like this. As a long time vet assistant, then vet tech, now in vet school…. Conversations like this always drive me nuts and make me so sad
10:00 the trauma is real I had a peanut allergy as a kid. I tested out of it and I now give my dogs peanut butter and I have flashbacks every time 😂😂😂
I knew I related to Anastasia. I feel so much of her story and relate so much. Love doesn't need definitions, holidays are about appreciating the people you love, that's it. Make your own families and traditions!
Again this podcast is my company when I’m going through a moment that idk how I feel, and even when the guys are talking about something, that is not even slightly related to, I feel so validated ❤
This year me and my closest friends got to spend the New Year (we don't celebrate Christmas in my country) together, and it was great. We're all young adults from different family dynamics, and among us the words "spending the holidays with relatives" usually causes "awww, I'm sorry" response, ahah. But I think friends are family, too, and sometimes they are more of a family than your blood relatives.
Thank you so much for talking about families during the holidays, this is something I struggle with this a lot (especially since most ppl in my life do have a good relationship w theirs) and it’s so comforting to see this video and to read the comments…it helps a lot. I’m currently struggling with the envious feelings, I’m happy to hear these emotions don’t last forever (also having to talking w ppl that don’t understand this is so awkward…like bro no I didn’t get any gifts, yes I was alone and ppl make it so awkward after that🥲)
Also! I’ve discovered (thanks to therapy) that I can take my complicated family in whatever doses I feel like. So I get to see them on holidays when I feel festive and they’re on their best behavior 😂
I completely understand how Jarvis feels about his family interactions. I have a big family and don't really talk to my cousins, most uncles, or even my Grandma. I love them to bits but, like Jarvis said, we all just have our own stuff going on. I didn't even tell them all Happy New Year and would never be able to get them all Christmas gifts. Sometimes I think that I should reach out more or that I'll regret not being closer to them but idk.. we're not built like that
ouch, they really did talk about feelings and other things also. this all resonates HEAVILY with me as a transmasc person in a toxic household. i've quite literally never felt at home in me body or physically in a home. the only place I have felt at home is with me gf and in her home around her family.
Jarvis’ sweater goes hard
8:08 Jordan mentioned fireworks and I immediately thought of the news omg
I think yall nailed the divorce feeling. I'm 19 and out of the house for college but the end of last year brought news of my parents splitting after being together my whole life. It might not influence me a whole lot but as the oldest I've been tryna be the best possible older brother for my siblings (15 and 13) who ACTUALLY feel the split as my dad takes my brother and my mom takes my sister. It's not something I grieve alot and I get its for the best but damn been stressing for my brother and sister
I'm glad to hear you guys talk about complicated family relationships around the holidays. I also feel like I'm just starting to connect with my family as an adult (growing up was very tumultuous for me so I missed out on a lot).
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME, IT MAKES BEING HAPPY A LITTLE SWEETER
I appreciate the talk you had about family and the holidays, it can be very complicated for a lot of people, i went through foster care, both my parents died, my guardian was abusive, my younger sister passed a few years ago, it’s a lot of negative emotions but i do hope one day they turn positive ❤
true crime cruise, if it was a cruise in a netflix show, seems like it'd be a killer's perfect cover in a season finale

are we sure the true crime cruise isn’t just the setting for the next knives out movie
Man I'm such a rap nerd that when I heard Exhibit C, I immediately thought of Jay Electronica 😂 The beat started playing in my head since
Thank you for speaking on the difficulties surrounding family and the holidays. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. It feels so lonely experiencing these feelings ❤
I really appreciate the acknowledgement of complicated family stuff. I have 2 younger estranged siblings and it can be so complicated even just answering questions like "do you have siblings?" And no one really gets it when I call myself an only child twice removed
This christmas was I think possibly my first ever christmas where there was no drama or people yelling, and then I took a nap and got woken up cause my moms heart stopped and I had to resuscitate her.
Sitting here doing my art school homework and laundry (target audience)
The stuff about the holidays and complicated family situations was so cathartic to hear about. I have a rough history with Christmas and this year was particularly rough for similar reasons to what they touched on, it’s cliche but it’s so validating to hear those feelings shared
The talk about the complicated family unit really meant a lot to me. I get it Jarvis, I have problems trying to discuss some aspects of my family with others due to thinking of it as a failure. I have a brother that is ten years younger than me and we don't talk as much as I would like. I love him, but it is hard when you don't live together and things are so complex.
when an episode of the boyz drops so i suddenly get the motivation to do everything ive been putting off. wishing the boyz the best in 2025

1:18:56 I’ve never been on one because I’m not particularly wealthy, but I think themed cruises are cool! I wish there were more themed luxury vacation options, like themed weekends at resorts and such.
Yeah, true crime is a minefield of distasteful or downright disrespectful pitfalls so this is a weird example… But cruises do themes often and to be able to vacation with activities themed around your own interests & with people who share them is a super awesome concept.
Basically, this is just one of many themed cruises & this one interest happens to be kinda distasteful.
great episode boyz! talking about the complicated family dynamics and sense of home was meaningful to hear
Wow this was my fav sad boyz ever. Maybe it’s just the time I watched but it really hit. Thanks guys.
This video was posted on my birthday! Happy new years to everyone!!🫶🫶
