Oh for sure. Especially when we now know what kind of inhumane conditions, often involving child labor, are used for gem mining. It's like they were bragging that a nine year old in an underprivileged country got it just for them! 🙄
Indie musician and tennis player are such HGTV jobs. They’re looking for a house that’s both by the beach and inside a tennis court and have a budget of 6 million.
@SunnyGoesIn1D I have no idea. I saw the pictures of them running and being arrested but the captions could have been edited. I don't have Twitter so I'm not gonna check the source
Little detail: tanzanite is not diamond and is a relatively cheaper stone. A 10 thousand dollar tanzanite would not fit in your hand. It would probably be person sized.
Maybe they came straight from a Quarry and dropped off a giant cube of it to make one small piece of jewelry? It would make the jewelry store losing it pretty impressive.
When it’s raw, no, but once it’s cut people jack up the price a lot. Especially for a high quality piece. Not everyone knows when they’re being ripped off lol
Depending on the quality and rarity of the stone. I am not a jeweler but I know that rarer stones with speficific formations in their center can be incredibly expensive. Hers is not tho
And then to say it was such a "beautiful" heart warming thing to see that people did exactly what she manipulated them into doing. Love how she almost considered maybe feeling a tiny bit bad until her fiance said "nah babe they brought mass social media harassment on themselves 😘" These people make me physically ill.
If that girl's case against the jeweler had any legitimacy she could get a lawyer and sue. There is no world where having your followers harass a business is the most appropriate move.
Makes sense that a couple who got thru life so easily (being in self-advocating contract jobs that require more networking than skill) think that emotional mobs are cheaper than one really calm guy
yeah, if they were actually very poor it might be hard to get a lawyer on board, but for a $10,000 settlement you could get one. That's what getting hit by a car is usually worth, and lawyers do that all day.
Not gonna lie, as an actual "small artist" there is no way they don't come from money, that studio she is in is professional. Also if you're dropping 10k to see a shaman to cleanse your spirit of a past life death, I have no sympathy.
1:40:39 "i think that people don't wanna acknowledge privilege when they aren't happy with their position in life, because if they're so privileged then why don't they have exactly everything that they want" 💯💯💯 literally so well said
holy shit the way she said i'm just a little musician and he's just a little tennis player was so disgusting imo. the whole thing reeks of trust fund babies not getting their way on something and using their clout to bully people.
Loved your nuanced discussion on privilege, Jarvis' story about going to his therapist and downplaying a struggle because he wants to acknowledge his privileges really hit me as someone who has done the EXACT same thing. I think it's very easy to end up beating yourself up for having a tough time when you're in a relatively comfortable position, which a) doesn't help you, and b) doesn't help anyone else. Feeling guilty for your privilege isn't the purpose of acknowledging your privilege, the goal should be learning your blindspots so you can stand in solidarity with others.
Yes, and feeling guilty about your privileges is exactly what leads so many people to downplay or deny them! There’s no shame in having enough, because everyone should have enough. And there’s no special nobility in suffering, despite what the 1% would like us to believe. It’s always good to reduce suffering in the world, whether it’s your own or others’. Plus, if we have more than just enough then we have the delightful privilege of being able to give to others more easily!
If someone is drowning in the ocean, and someone is drowning in a puddle, they’re still both drowning and need help. I’m a very privileged person in various ways and it’s easy to dismiss my own struggles when I compare my situation to others, but I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety regardless of whether I’ve technically got things better than many others do. Dismissing my own struggles doesn’t help others in any way.
Did you know that it is very hard to get an uncut piece of tanzanite out of Tanzania legally? So every single thing about the "stolen" gem feels dubious.
Hi!! Just wanted to say we really appreciated that you donated for victims of sexual assault. This kind of transparency is really nice to see, keep doing what you're doing kings!!
Otters are also one of my favorite animals! Fun fact: Did you know they have specific favorite rocks? They keep them under their arms and use that same one to open shellfish and clams!
💍 Jewelry Maker here! 💍 Just to shed some insight about stone cutting.. it requires proper wet saws, grinding/polishing wheels, and proper ventilation. It is also a complete separate set of skills and craft than jewelry making. It takes some people decades to master just one of those skillsets! Yes, some people overlap in both fields, but many people don't have the space, equipment, or time (and money) to do both. I hope that helps shed some light on the jeweler situation!
makes a lot of sense and i was thinking the same thing (even as a non jeweler) but i fully agree that if this whole thing is real they should’ve told them they can’t cut it there and have them sign off on some paperwork for it to be shipped. the whole thing is outrageous to me though based solely on the supposed price of the tanzanite… definitely don’t think any jeweler who was handed a $10,000 piece of raw tanzanite for a ring would mail it without insurance
On a really serious note, I saw this very wonderful interview on tik tok with a survivor of the bombing of Japan. She described losing almost everyone around her as a very young girl and just unimaginable horrors, she said she will never forget the smell of burning flesh. Having that on my mind the stuff that girl said from g4 was so disturbing and just...inhumane idk. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has like a basic respect for others its really disheartening...
My grandparents were from hiroshima and nagasaki. One of my grandmothers earliest memories was being taken by her mother around town with a bucket to try and find any parts or remnants of her father to bury, because his commute was in the hit zone. In the end, they buried nothing. Maybe i should stop being surprised, but it still amazes me that people are comfortable making such "jokes". It was barely even a joke, just a random insulting comment played for laughs. But the amount of times people will use it as some kind of "gotcha" or comeback or "joke" against Japan is crazy. Celebrating or making light of others' losses and suffering is nothing short of inhumane.
That late 90 to even early 2010s were so weirdly cruel that it gives me whiplash looking back. Like 2012 all my favorite TH-camrs were still making SA jokes. And I was okay with it because I still just had to be okay with it, or I watched no TH-camrs 👍
It’s so abstracted from the presenter’s own experience, just something from the tv or wherever, that she probably doesn’t even process it like she’s joking about a real thing, especially since she’s just reading a script someone wrote for her, and the writer is just writing something for someone else to read. It’s all too abstracted in their minds. It is inhumane because the writer and the presenter probably didn’t even think about them as real people rather than as abstracted ideas. I think the way the internet has connected us, so that you can hear directly from survivors recounting their stories and you can potentially interact with those people through the internet too as if meeting them “in the real world”, has helped many to develop more empathy. Yet at the same time consuming media over the internet can still also be used to make people’s experiences and pain feel more like abstracted concepts, easy to dismiss on some level as not feeling “real”. It’s sad how cruel people can still be but at least there’s been progress.
nowadays I see whenever a Japanese person speaks out about anything people rush to remind everyone that Japan as a state was an empire, did horrendous stuff during WW2, and has present day systemic issues with racism and sexism (tbh which country doesn't?). Which often times serves as an argument to shut that individual person down.
One thing a lot of people should take away from this regarding jewelry is that its value is 100 percent arbitrary beyond the scrap value of it. If you pay 2500 for a ring, decent odds its made with like 300 worth of gold and a 50 dollar diamond. You're paying for the ability to say you paid that much for someone, basically. Anyone trying to sell jewelry will be familiar with this. (This excludes verifiable, unique antiques but that isnt most jewelry even if it is very old)
@@whatcolorjunebug it's extremely hard to resell jewelry because tastes vary a lot and styles change rapidly. A custom piece especially will have no resale value as is because it will most likely just sit in a display spot unsold forever whereas there is always a hungry market for gold bullion. Thankfully(?) this does mean gold is infinitely recyclable so it never goes to waste and just changes forms over and over, but it definitely hurts unaware people when they are desperate, bring in a family heirloom they were told was purchased for thousands only to be offered nothing beyond its scrap value. There might be exceptions for some niche stuff like vintage Tiffany that has a verified history but it's not common.
The expertise that goes into designing it also does have value, even if it might not be resale value. It's not most of the price discrepancy, but it's there, even if many people don't think it's that important. See, businesses who don't hire graphic or interior designers, for example. Design only stands out to the eye when it's bad, but it's always there.
It’s very telling the way she calls on her audience to come to her defense with absolutely no qualms/shame??? I would be so embarrassed to ask for anything from people who are supporting me let alone ask them to harass a business over a personal issue
52:48 Jewelry guy here, it's extremely common and normal for jewelers to ship items across the country to other jewelers who have more training in a specific skill like stonecutting. Some people's whole careers are just setting the stones. Edit:they addressed the insurance issue👍
I've been falling down a SMOSH rabbit hole recently and I can't even describe how shocked and happy I was to be jump scared by a Jarvis cameo... where he wore a ranch costume💀
1:53:58 one thing I like about how my mom brought me up: every time we saw an emergency vehicle while driving or heard sirens at home, we’d pause what we were doing and pray for whoever those vehicles were going to help. Pray for their safety, their peace, their families, etc. it was a short 10-20 second thing. I’m not religious anymore but I think it’s important to pause when we hear sirens and really take in the knowledge that those sounds mean people around us are having their lives torn apart by something… The couple’s flippant attitude surrounding the devastation in Hawaii reminded me of that
“I’m just a little indie musician, he’s just a little tennis player” is CRAZY to say about beef you have with a jewelry company that lost your heirloom ring worth (according to you) 15k and your “straight from the mines” tanzanite worth 10k. How much more financially and socially privileged do you need to be to stand up against Big Jewelry?
loved the bit where you talk about how warped of views rich people have. met a girl recently who was seemingly unaware that it’s abnormal to have a dedicated bench at the city zoo
can't talk about mascots without mentioning Jaxson Deville, who jumps off the top of the stadium at each Jacksonville Jaguars home game and also strips off the whole costume except the head, revealing a jaguar print speedo
While that tiktoker didn’t ask people to “go to battle” for her, she made it known that she appreciates people going after the company. Which is very icky 😬 “Legally i have to add” also implies that if not for legal ramification she wouldn’t care, also talking about how it’s suspicious that they deleted the false google reviews lol like of course they did. Or google did. Because why keep reviews from people who have never used your service?
1:31 I paused the episode, googled chiitan, said out loud "that's an otter" came back to the episode for the reveal and then yelled "got it" so loud my cat jumped. #winning
The game 'Genji' is less based on a period of Japanese history, and more based on an old Japanese epic called 'Tale of the Heike'. Think a Japanese 'Illiad', a fictional story about an epic war and the religion and philosophy surrounding it. Like the Illiad it's based on an actual historical war, but the work of literature overshadows actual history.
Yeah, it's literally where the classic 'giant enemy crab, attack the weak point for massive damage' meme comes from, which only became so popular because of the tonal whiplash of PR saying the game was 'based on Japanese history'.
If I had a dollar for every single time Jordan mentions Kuala Lumpur on Sad Boyz, I'd have 5 dollars... Which isn't much but when converted to MYR I will get approximately RM 21.70
I feel like the general attitude towards bees changed a lot after the rise of the bee movie so while I’m not a fan of Jerry Seinfeld, I do think it’s time to recruit him for the making of a follow up: wasp movie.
The disgusting horrific parasitism they do is extremely important to the environment. Caterpillars are cute and all and you don't want them to be eaten alive... until they start eating your cabbage. Mosquitoes are a garbage animal, they pollinate too but they're really bad at it, lot of local pollinators where I live have gone extinct to malaria.
Okay to be clear, whatever youre imagining that Maui house costing to rent, its more. Housing is inflated like crazy for places in Hawaii bc of all the rich white people. Its great her mom is helping people in Lahaina, IF she is. This woman already lies/obscures all the info she can. Like is her mom still doing red cross there? Or is that just how they started to move. Additionally, they still have the money to rent that shit... you dont get that money volunteering for the red cross. Theyre still fucking loaded, at least familial wealth wise
THIS!! You’re so right, thank you!!! Her story about the house on Maui was so suspicious to me. Any American around her age online today should have *at least once* heard SOMETHING about Hawai’i, about how the people of Hawai’i don’t want tourists coming, about how tourism fucking destroys places like that, and about the disgusting land theft and development done by non-natives (Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg, the fucking military) that is destroying the environment and driving Hawaiians out of their homes and often into homelessness due to skyrocketing prices and just too many fkn people buying ~vacation homes~ n moving there bc “it’s so magicallll”. The LOUD public outcry of Hawaiians pleading for people to not travel there after the fires in & around Lahaina, Maui (and in general) was, in my opinion, unavoidable if you read a single thing on social media about it. If she hasn’t learned a thing about any of that, then her hippie, align-my-chakras, fun-loving, ooo peace and magic and spiritual connection to the Kingdom of Hawai’i where I’ve been told not to go -persona is exclusively an aesthetics and vibes-based personality. Absolutely no self awareness of her privilege and her notable, undeniable wealth and security in life. There’s no way your chakras can stay aligned when you’re that out of touch with the world and your impact on it. Yucky. I have a yucky feeling about it all.
Riiiight, and her mom supposedly works as a translator? Hawaiian is a classified as a critically endangered language due to forced assimilation, with only 2000 native speakers left (for context, only .1% of those living in Hawaii in 2001 could speak Hawaiian). And her mom, a white person, supposedly fluently speaks Hawaiian? If her mom grew up on the island or had lived there for years, she would’ve said that, not led with the whole renting/Red Cross thing. All very suspicious to me, definitely feels like a deflection of guilt
In the first ring gate video, girliepop says she's sharing the story with tiktok, "hoping that you guys can do your magic." She followed this statement with, "spread the word," giving her plausible deniability, but she knew what she was saying when she said it, she knew she was mobilizing a mob. There is no way she did not know.
14:05 feeling it too, Jarvis. Thanks sad boyz for talking about your feelings I'm super isolated, in a bad chapter and dealing with emotional and physical health problems. Feels supportive to come to this space 💜 I hope it gets better soon
1:05:32 I’m really hoping they didn’t end up keeping that rabbit, first time rabbit owners are not good for strays, and the way the boyfriend is holding the rabbit is super unsafe, and can break its spine in some cases
Bruh, these jewelers have been in business for almost 100 years and depositor insurance exists and I'm sure they have it to be a legit chain jeweler franchise, so this whole alleged "theft/loss" situation is ridiculous.
i feel like insurance isn't going to just toss out a guess on a stolen item and the guy never put down even a hint of the value onto the paperwork, that's why do do assessments beforehand of your house with fire insurance so you don't turn around and say "oh yeah i happened to have a billion dollar art piece in there and now it's dust, gimmie gimmie"
They did offer to pay the couple for the value of the ring, which wasn’t mentioned in this video really. Not in the full detail. So regardless of what kind of insurance they did or didn’t have, they were going to pay the customer for the loss. The couple just refused to accept the amount it was worth because they believed it should be worth much more due to the gem coming from the $10,000 shaman experience and the sentimental value of the heirloom.
Hi boyz! Want to commend you for everything you’ve done and advocated for recently (Cody Ko, Palestine, etc.). Just know you never should feel pressured to advocate for stuff if you don’t feel comfortable! It’s important to do research and form a full opinion before you speak. I think y’all do that and it makes me proud to be a part of y’all’s community. Basically, keep doing ya thing and keep up the transparency!!
1:15:50 I've listened to enough Oh No Ross and Carrie that I can absolutely believe some shaman guy somewhere absolutely up-sold a moderately valuable crystal for a ridiculous price to a couple people too deep into the alternative spiritualism lifestyle to think about that being a bad idea.
about twitter- pretty much all of brazil (to my knowledge) has actually moved over to bluesky. I decided to follow them and man it feels a lot more sane over there… really brings into perspective how bad twt has gotten 💀
I'm a charity worker, and for rich people it's good business to get involved in charity due to tax reasons. So their parents may be genuinely helping, but also it can just be a thing to do because they're rich
17:26 that’s the piece I’ve been forgetting! I haven’t been bodydoubling at all recently. That ADHD talk was sooo helpful with so many things I’ve been struggling with lately.
I'm Japanese and I have a bad news about Chiitan. The talent agency that Chiitan belongs to, Kleeblatt inc., is known for producing an idol group named Kamen Joshi. The members were treated very poorly by the company: extremely low wages that forced the members to sleep in an office, and outing one of the member's sexuality and making jokes about it. I don't blame anyone for supporting Chiitan since this is probably a lesser known fact, but just wanted to let people be aware. Especially since Chiitan recently gained popularity for being a trans ally, I honestly don't know how genuine that is, considering the company's history.
@@annaSHRRR Trust me, I really wanted people to enjoy Chiitan, I wanted to enjoy Chiitan. I actually cried tears of joy because Chiitan is one of the very few big figures in Japan that expressed their support to trans people. But afterwards I was informed about the agency, and I think knowing this part of the story is important because there is a possibility that Chiitan's allyship to transgender people is only for pinkwashing. I won't judge if you still decide to like or support Chiitan. After all, the company could have just changed for the better.
The next step would be to see if they make up for their misgivings. Chiitan being allowed to express trans positivity is a step in a direction I can say we only hope gets better. Of course they now have too many eyes to be terrible people again, don't you think?
I'm into crystals and stuff so I was also trying to picture how big this tanzanite was to be worth 10k; I'm baffled that her followers (who assumedly are into that stuff too) didn't question it
And a husband who is definitely pulling the wool over her fiance for having weird financial decisions. There's no way he found a clean domesticated bunny in the woods that he could catch and held it all the way home without it gnawing your arm off getting away.
so ummmm everything was closed on maui bc there was a literal HURRICANE on the island one of the reasons that the fires spread to much was because of the wind from the hurricane. soooooo them saying aw suck everything is closed now we can get engaged while the whole island was suffering is not that great!
I really love how you guys check in with eachother, it’s so sweet and Jordan’s analogies make me so happy, it shows how much you care and I don’t know but it brings so much perspective and it makes me happy. um meep ugh I don’t know (Edit: what the freek this makes no sense but I love this podcast sm)
Moral licensing never makes anything okay. One can donate their entire fortune (billions) to all the good charities. That doesn't make it okay to pay workers less than a living wage, or own multiple homes.
I'm sorry for being a nerd but I have a pet wasp and wasps also pollinate and are extremely important for the environment and parasitoid wasps help keep pests in check and there are TONS of wasp species that can't sting
There are some communal wasps outside my house, have been for the whole season, and they're very polite. They don't even come to look at us, they give us plenty of space even when I'm out there gardening. And we had a horrible earwig infestation that was eating all my plants and ending up All Over My House, but the wasps ate them :)
Thank you, I have a little swarm of paper wasps right outside my apartment. They never did anything to me, never bothered me. They're peaceful garden helpers.
youre so cool i saw the preview for this comment and had to tear UP the comments seeking cool wasp facts. what is ur wasps name and how many friends vs foes do they have
The funniest thing about this is that putting that tanzanite into that setting would make the ring worth even less. They are so concerned about this "heirloom" and were basically destroying it.
Thank you for making Magic another episode on patreon!!!! Always excited for a new episode. Kinda bummed when it's just magic and nba. I don't mind it here and there though because I know it's your passions.
Is this woman. Joking. Why all the details about the shamans. This. Has to be a joke right? "Straight from the mines" I want this to be a joke Edit: hmm. I think all these people are awful. I care not for a single person involved here.
That's my read of the situation as well. I hate having knowledge of these people inflicted on me. Not by this podcast, but by the relentless churning Hot Take machine of the Internet. Like this isn't even a silly little fun drama, it's just people who I would rather not know about spreading their business around for what.
1:30:17 i had a family ring resized and was so nervous about something happening to it, i called everyday and went to a local jeweler who i could actually trust. Never would i ever would have put it in the mail!
21:40 Wow, you have unlocked some deeeeeepppp memories with this footage. When you mentioned the channel, I could not recall, but the names and the footage took me right back. I do remember this.
I really relate to Jarvis. Sometimes you just feel more sad than other days and its like 10x worse if you're not sleeping enough. It's nice to hear he is working towards things he wants despite the drawbacks, I relate to that, the only comfort is taking each day at a time and try to work in our self-talk. But yeah, routine is so important for some of us with funny-wired brains and I also struggle when my routine gets thrown off and just can't pull myself to do anything at all. I have hope we'll be ok, it just sucks in the meantime ngl.
fed ex threw my package with s computer in it on my porch and broke it, i had it insured and filled my claim and multiple complaints and when i finally emailed them they pointed me in the direction of a 404 error page and said that was the new insurance program. she's never getting paid for that ring no matter how much its worth
appreciate & agree with jordan's comment on poc and white trans people. it is so so important that racial liberation and queer liberation needs to happen together metaphorically
I think both of you guys are brilliant. There are so many things Jarvis and Jordan say that make me go “dude, that’s so profound and articulate”. One of the things I remember was Jarvis saying “let fruit be fruit” when talking about gamergate reactions.
re the g4 stuff - iirc, for whatever reason in the ps3 era, games journalism was weirdly anti japanese games and they’d go out of their way to talk shit on it. meanwhile some really fucking solid japanese games came out around that time so jokes on them i guess
Yeah actually I've heard Japanese game devs talk about this racism- like the use of "jrpgs" being used to shit talk them and make them seem inherently foreign and different to American rpgs... which are never referred to as arpgs
9:49 “this is like if Oscar hosted the academy awards” Jordan once again saying something that had me laughing crying on the floor, going completely unoticed, is utter comedic bliss, and one of the many reasons i keep falling in love with the show more and more each episode 😭
I'm just waiting for the sequel where the engagement ring couple come back with a story-time about their baby who was somehow swapped at birth. They have a gut feeling and know, so they go to another (free!!) shaman to help find their baby - who tells them that with the power of a magical amulet (sold for the low-low price of $50,000), the internet will have the answer they seek. They finally find their child in a TikTok stitch and they instantly recognize them because they have the harshest, blondest center part you've ever seen 👱
Refreshed TH-cam to see where I left off in the podcast playlist and saw this was uploaded a minute ago! Love your content and the message y'all spread. Thanks for all you do! Edit: So funny that MGS got brought up because I just started a new playthrough this week. Speaking on the amount of cutscenes, the opening prologue in the hospital is 45 minutes long if you do not skip cutscenes. I planned to skip through all of them but if I started to watch them, they would just pull me in and I'd forget to skip. I think that the cutscenes can bog down the gameplay but they are also so damn good.
After seeing what her fiance is like I understand why it cost $10k to cleanse one of his chakras. I don't know anything about chakras but I think he's got at least another $100k of work to do. The shamans better stock up on gems
Nevet watched your guy's podcast before and just wanna say I really like the 'how's it going' segment. Just you two being vunerable is such a nice thing to see in a way. I relate to some of the things you said and it makes me feel a little less alone in it
I'm from Brazil, and Elon is a child who thinks the world is his backyard and have to follow his rules. It isn't and he lost way more than we did. You guys should see the real reason X was banned in Brazil!
'How's it going' segment resonated with me, esp around 18 min. I had to work from home during covid, but it was a monotonous, miserable over the phone sales job. I had a hard time staying motivated because of all my comfort items, games, etc. were so close by, but I also struggled to completely relax because I could always see work waiting in the other room. Not being able to separate work and play, or leisure and focus, really destroyed my mental health for a while. I had to take work somewhere else before I could feel truly rested again, and really focus on the tasks at hand when clocked in.
That's why I cannot fathom living in an apartment with my house on top and the shop I work at downstairs. Like those barhouses with some random guy upstairs.
Somehow the "straight from the mines" gave the same iffy vibe as people who say "freshly turned" about 18 year olds.
Oh for sure. Especially when we now know what kind of inhumane conditions, often involving child labor, are used for gem mining. It's like they were bragging that a nine year old in an underprivileged country got it just for them! 🙄
Everything they said has either a subtly or aggressively bad vibe to it.

My introduction to Chitan was a pic of them running from cops and saying they have no gender, and then being arrested saying "acab"
Is this real??

ACAB is right
Very obviously fake, please tell me you guys are joking about not being able to figure that out
It's hard to relate when the only family heirloom i have is generational trauma.

ok
Yeah this is such richie drama. Oh no u lost your weird child mine metal. I lost my job 🤷
Me and you both buddy 😂
Same. And I’m PAYING someone to GET RID OF IT.
Little detail: tanzanite is not diamond and is a relatively cheaper stone. A 10 thousand dollar tanzanite would not fit in your hand. It would probably be person sized.
ngl it was kind of driving me crazy that it was being called a diamond
I was very confused.
Maybe they came straight from a Quarry and dropped off a giant cube of it to make one small piece of jewelry? It would make the jewelry store losing it pretty impressive.
When it’s raw, no, but once it’s cut people jack up the price a lot. Especially for a high quality piece. Not everyone knows when they’re being ripped off lol
Depending on the quality and rarity of the stone. I am not a jeweler but I know that rarer stones with speficific formations in their center can be incredibly expensive. Hers is not tho
"i'm doing good"
"what's the latest?"
"i'm doing bad actually"

“Do your magic TikTok” is such a cute quirky way to encourage harassment
It's really giving "we did it Reddit"
And then to turn around and be like "I can't believe people went and harassed them thanks guys 🥰"
ikr its insane that that behavior is what tiktok is like known for and that people will go TO tiktok in order to have it done?? is that not crazy
Exactly. What else does “Do your magic” even mean? It’s a classic internet harassment campaign.
And then to say it was such a "beautiful" heart warming thing to see that people did exactly what she manipulated them into doing. Love how she almost considered maybe feeling a tiny bit bad until her fiance said "nah babe they brought mass social media harassment on themselves 😘" These people make me physically ill.
to clarify something: chiitan is not official, not affiliated with any government, company, etc, and simply a being of pure chaos
Chiitan has no manager. Chiitan has no masters. Chiitan can not be controlled by any mortal creature. Chiitan will do as Chiitan pleases.
I thought it was a town mascot

I read this as ‘smell artist’ three times in a row and was very confused. 👃😭
1:40:39 "i think that people don't wanna acknowledge privilege when they aren't happy with their position in life, because if they're so privileged then why don't they have exactly everything that they want" 💯💯💯 literally so well said
the whole conversation about privilege is so good and so real, it's genuinely refreshing to hear it all laid out like that
holy shit the way she said i'm just a little musician and he's just a little tennis player was so disgusting imo. the whole thing reeks of trust fund babies not getting their way on something and using their clout to bully people.
Oh they smell SO richie and I feel no remorse for their child mine metal
Loved your nuanced discussion on privilege, Jarvis' story about going to his therapist and downplaying a struggle because he wants to acknowledge his privileges really hit me as someone who has done the EXACT same thing.
I think it's very easy to end up beating yourself up for having a tough time when you're in a relatively comfortable position, which a) doesn't help you, and b) doesn't help anyone else. Feeling guilty for your privilege isn't the purpose of acknowledging your privilege, the goal should be learning your blindspots so you can stand in solidarity with others.
Yes, and feeling guilty about your privileges is exactly what leads so many people to downplay or deny them! There’s no shame in having enough, because everyone should have enough. And there’s no special nobility in suffering, despite what the 1% would like us to believe. It’s always good to reduce suffering in the world, whether it’s your own or others’. Plus, if we have more than just enough then we have the delightful privilege of being able to give to others more easily!

If someone is drowning in the ocean, and someone is drowning in a puddle, they’re still both drowning and need help.
I’m a very privileged person in various ways and it’s easy to dismiss my own struggles when I compare my situation to others, but I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety regardless of whether I’ve technically got things better than many others do. Dismissing my own struggles doesn’t help others in any way.
Extremely well put 🙏
"straight from the mines of Tanzania" made me cringe the loudest I've ever cringed and that's when I lost all sympathy
As we all know, the bad part of acquiring precious stones happens after they’re mined
Yeah, gave me flashbacks to those kids in mgs5
Fun fact!! For anyone that doesn’t know, Chiitan usually uses they/them pronouns on Twitter, and they’re a big ally to the trans community :3
Chiitan and Blahjah crossover friendship episode when???

Did you know that it is very hard to get an uncut piece of tanzanite out of Tanzania legally? So every single thing about the "stolen" gem feels dubious.
Hi!! Just wanted to say we really appreciated that you donated for victims of sexual assault. This kind of transparency is really nice to see, keep doing what you're doing kings!!
Yes! They are the only creators I have seen post receipts of the donations they say they will make and I appreciate that
Yes thank you guys! RAINN is really cool and I appreciate your transparency!
The jeweler should just say "I am a shaman, and you killed me in a past life, so I'm going to keep your ring. We are even now."
"Straight from the mines" via our shaman who sourced it from a third party.
Otters are also one of my favorite animals!
Fun fact: Did you know they have specific favorite rocks? They keep them under their arms and use that same one to open shellfish and clams!
That is amazing!
Sea otters will also hold paws so they don't float away from eachother
💍 Jewelry Maker here! 💍
Just to shed some insight about stone cutting.. it requires proper wet saws, grinding/polishing wheels, and proper ventilation. It is also a complete separate set of skills and craft than jewelry making. It takes some people decades to master just one of those skillsets! Yes, some people overlap in both fields, but many people don't have the space, equipment, or time (and money) to do both.
I hope that helps shed some light on the jeweler situation!
makes a lot of sense and i was thinking the same thing (even as a non jeweler) but i fully agree that if this whole thing is real they should’ve told them they can’t cut it there and have them sign off on some paperwork for it to be shipped. the whole thing is outrageous to me though based solely on the supposed price of the tanzanite… definitely don’t think any jeweler who was handed a $10,000 piece of raw tanzanite for a ring would mail it without insurance
Ever since they switched their set, I can't focus because I'm too busy trying to see what's on the bookcases
I had that problem with the old set haha creeping on whats changing in the background lol
On a really serious note, I saw this very wonderful interview on tik tok with a survivor of the bombing of Japan. She described losing almost everyone around her as a very young girl and just unimaginable horrors, she said she will never forget the smell of burning flesh. Having that on my mind the stuff that girl said from g4 was so disturbing and just...inhumane idk. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has like a basic respect for others its really disheartening...
My grandparents were from hiroshima and nagasaki. One of my grandmothers earliest memories was being taken by her mother around town with a bucket to try and find any parts or remnants of her father to bury, because his commute was in the hit zone. In the end, they buried nothing.
Maybe i should stop being surprised, but it still amazes me that people are comfortable making such "jokes". It was barely even a joke, just a random insulting comment played for laughs. But the amount of times people will use it as some kind of "gotcha" or comeback or "joke" against Japan is crazy. Celebrating or making light of others' losses and suffering is nothing short of inhumane.
That late 90 to even early 2010s were so weirdly cruel that it gives me whiplash looking back. Like 2012 all my favorite TH-camrs were still making SA jokes. And I was okay with it because I still just had to be okay with it, or I watched no TH-camrs 👍
It’s so abstracted from the presenter’s own experience, just something from the tv or wherever, that she probably doesn’t even process it like she’s joking about a real thing, especially since she’s just reading a script someone wrote for her, and the writer is just writing something for someone else to read. It’s all too abstracted in their minds. It is inhumane because the writer and the presenter probably didn’t even think about them as real people rather than as abstracted ideas. I think the way the internet has connected us, so that you can hear directly from survivors recounting their stories and you can potentially interact with those people through the internet too as if meeting them “in the real world”, has helped many to develop more empathy. Yet at the same time consuming media over the internet can still also be used to make people’s experiences and pain feel more like abstracted concepts, easy to dismiss on some level as not feeling “real”. It’s sad how cruel people can still be but at least there’s been progress.
nowadays I see whenever a Japanese person speaks out about anything people rush to remind everyone that Japan as a state was an empire, did horrendous stuff during WW2, and has present day systemic issues with racism and sexism (tbh which country doesn't?). Which often times serves as an argument to shut that individual person down.
@@genericname8727 this is so well-said
One thing a lot of people should take away from this regarding jewelry is that its value is 100 percent arbitrary beyond the scrap value of it. If you pay 2500 for a ring, decent odds its made with like 300 worth of gold and a 50 dollar diamond. You're paying for the ability to say you paid that much for someone, basically. Anyone trying to sell jewelry will be familiar with this. (This excludes verifiable, unique antiques but that isnt most jewelry even if it is very old)
Is there no value given for the quality of the craftsmanship? Like if they’re going to resell something rather than scrap it?
@@whatcolorjunebug it's extremely hard to resell jewelry because tastes vary a lot and styles change rapidly. A custom piece especially will have no resale value as is because it will most likely just sit in a display spot unsold forever whereas there is always a hungry market for gold bullion. Thankfully(?) this does mean gold is infinitely recyclable so it never goes to waste and just changes forms over and over, but it definitely hurts unaware people when they are desperate, bring in a family heirloom they were told was purchased for thousands only to be offered nothing beyond its scrap value.
There might be exceptions for some niche stuff like vintage Tiffany that has a verified history but it's not common.
as someone who works with it, yup.
The expertise that goes into designing it also does have value, even if it might not be resale value. It's not most of the price discrepancy, but it's there, even if many people don't think it's that important. See, businesses who don't hire graphic or interior designers, for example. Design only stands out to the eye when it's bad, but it's always there.
Jarv got the timmy turner fit
He looks like he is about to make a wish to Cosmo and Wanda after he is done with the podcast. haha
He be wishing for a burner
Exactly. I couldn't put my finger on it but something about his outfit was ringing a bell and I came down to leave a comment when I realized
literally 😭
jarvy jurner??
It’s very telling the way she calls on her audience to come to her defense with absolutely no qualms/shame??? I would be so embarrassed to ask for anything from people who are supporting me let alone ask them to harass a business over a personal issue
“internet do your thing!”
“That’s why you’re not an influencer! Haha I’m so smart and better than you””
Haha sorry these people are totally horrible like that
Shhhhhh it’s not harassment, it’s ✨tiktok magic✨ 🤣
52:48 Jewelry guy here, it's extremely common and normal for jewelers to ship items across the country to other jewelers who have more training in a specific skill like stonecutting. Some people's whole careers are just setting the stones. Edit:they addressed the insurance issue👍
I've been falling down a SMOSH rabbit hole recently and I can't even describe how shocked and happy I was to be jump scared by a Jarvis cameo... where he wore a ranch costume💀

1:53:58 one thing I like about how my mom brought me up: every time we saw an emergency vehicle while driving or heard sirens at home, we’d pause what we were doing and pray for whoever those vehicles were going to help. Pray for their safety, their peace, their families, etc. it was a short 10-20 second thing. I’m not religious anymore but I think it’s important to pause when we hear sirens and really take in the knowledge that those sounds mean people around us are having their lives torn apart by something…
The couple’s flippant attitude surrounding the devastation in Hawaii reminded me of that
“I’m just a little indie musician, he’s just a little tennis player” is CRAZY to say about beef you have with a jewelry company that lost your heirloom ring worth (according to you) 15k and your “straight from the mines” tanzanite worth 10k. How much more financially and socially privileged do you need to be to stand up against Big Jewelry?
loved the bit where you talk about how warped of views rich people have. met a girl recently who was seemingly unaware that it’s abnormal to have a dedicated bench at the city zoo
can't talk about mascots without mentioning Jaxson Deville, who jumps off the top of the stadium at each Jacksonville Jaguars home game and also strips off the whole costume except the head, revealing a jaguar print speedo
Never forget Gritty from the Philadelphia Flyers!

he is who i aspire to be as a mascot, i fear him as a person though

While that tiktoker didn’t ask people to “go to battle” for her, she made it known that she appreciates people going after the company. Which is very icky 😬
“Legally i have to add” also implies that if not for legal ramification she wouldn’t care, also talking about how it’s suspicious that they deleted the false google reviews lol like of course they did. Or google did. Because why keep reviews from people who have never used your service?
"yeah i'm kinda a woowoo hippie go commit violence on my behalf over a material possession"
I think she meant go to bat for her, which I'm pretty sure is an expression about baseball and not battle, but either way.

“I’m a microscopic podcaster and I ride a tardigrade to the show!” Jordan is just a little guyyyyyy
I was in Maui when the Lahaina fire happened and it was horrific. It's crazy how they act inconvenienced over people's entire lives being displaced

Gold medalist over here guys
This is extremely well written dialog because after reading it I feel like I know so much about you I could probably guess your SSN
Jordan did not get enough credit for "he dipped his pants in mustard"
"straight from the mines" after talking abt being a hippie??? girl
somehow im on none of their sides.
The game 'Genji' is less based on a period of Japanese history, and more based on an old Japanese epic called 'Tale of the Heike'. Think a Japanese 'Illiad', a fictional story about an epic war and the religion and philosophy surrounding it. Like the Illiad it's based on an actual historical war, but the work of literature overshadows actual history.
but we're still not exactly sure how
Yeah, it's literally where the classic 'giant enemy crab, attack the weak point for massive damage' meme comes from, which only became so popular because of the tonal whiplash of PR saying the game was 'based on Japanese history'.
If I had a dollar for every single time Jordan mentions Kuala Lumpur on Sad Boyz, I'd have 5 dollars... Which isn't much but when converted to MYR I will get approximately RM 21.70
"i'm just a little indie musician" with a wall full of guitars and a personal studio
A rock you get from a shady shaman who cheated you out of $10K is not a $10,000 rock. That's INSANE logic.
I do wish more people were aware that a lot of wasps do in fact polinate, and beyond that they serve a very vital purpose regardless.
I feel like the general attitude towards bees changed a lot after the rise of the bee movie so while I’m not a fan of Jerry Seinfeld, I do think it’s time to recruit him for the making of a follow up: wasp movie.
The disgusting horrific parasitism they do is extremely important to the environment. Caterpillars are cute and all and you don't want them to be eaten alive... until they start eating your cabbage.
Mosquitoes are a garbage animal, they pollinate too but they're really bad at it, lot of local pollinators where I live have gone extinct to malaria.
@@FrancisR420And we wouldn’t have figs without wasps!
I notice the attitude is shifting. I think there's lots of hope for all the little flying yellow Bois (and ladies)
Sounds like something a wasp would comment
Okay to be clear, whatever youre imagining that Maui house costing to rent, its more. Housing is inflated like crazy for places in Hawaii bc of all the rich white people. Its great her mom is helping people in Lahaina, IF she is. This woman already lies/obscures all the info she can. Like is her mom still doing red cross there? Or is that just how they started to move. Additionally, they still have the money to rent that shit... you dont get that money volunteering for the red cross. Theyre still fucking loaded, at least familial wealth wise
THIS!! You’re so right, thank you!!! Her story about the house on Maui was so suspicious to me. Any American around her age online today should have *at least once* heard SOMETHING about Hawai’i, about how the people of Hawai’i don’t want tourists coming, about how tourism fucking destroys places like that, and about the disgusting land theft and development done by non-natives (Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg, the fucking military) that is destroying the environment and driving Hawaiians out of their homes and often into homelessness due to skyrocketing prices and just too many fkn people buying ~vacation homes~ n moving there bc “it’s so magicallll”.
The LOUD public outcry of Hawaiians pleading for people to not travel there after the fires in & around Lahaina, Maui (and in general) was, in my opinion, unavoidable if you read a single thing on social media about it.
If she hasn’t learned a thing about any of that, then her hippie, align-my-chakras, fun-loving, ooo peace and magic and spiritual connection to the Kingdom of Hawai’i where I’ve been told not to go -persona is exclusively an aesthetics and vibes-based personality. Absolutely no self awareness of her privilege and her notable, undeniable wealth and security in life. There’s no way your chakras can stay aligned when you’re that out of touch with the world and your impact on it.
Yucky. I have a yucky feeling about it all.
Riiiight, and her mom supposedly works as a translator? Hawaiian is a classified as a critically endangered language due to forced assimilation, with only 2000 native speakers left (for context, only .1% of those living in Hawaii in 2001 could speak Hawaiian). And her mom, a white person, supposedly fluently speaks Hawaiian? If her mom grew up on the island or had lived there for years, she would’ve said that, not led with the whole renting/Red Cross thing. All very suspicious to me, definitely feels like a deflection of guilt
In the first ring gate video, girliepop says she's sharing the story with tiktok, "hoping that you guys can do your magic." She followed this statement with, "spread the word," giving her plausible deniability, but she knew what she was saying when she said it, she knew she was mobilizing a mob. There is no way she did not know.
14:05 feeling it too, Jarvis. Thanks sad boyz for talking about your feelings
I'm super isolated, in a bad chapter and dealing with emotional and physical health problems. Feels supportive to come to this space 💜 I hope it gets better soon
1:05:32 I’m really hoping they didn’t end up keeping that rabbit, first time rabbit owners are not good for strays, and the way the boyfriend is holding the rabbit is super unsafe, and can break its spine in some cases
Bruh, these jewelers have been in business for almost 100 years and depositor insurance exists and I'm sure they have it to be a legit chain jeweler franchise, so this whole alleged "theft/loss" situation is ridiculous.
i feel like insurance isn't going to just toss out a guess on a stolen item and the guy never put down even a hint of the value onto the paperwork, that's why do do assessments beforehand of your house with fire insurance so you don't turn around and say "oh yeah i happened to have a billion dollar art piece in there and now it's dust, gimmie gimmie"
They did offer to pay the couple for the value of the ring, which wasn’t mentioned in this video really. Not in the full detail. So regardless of what kind of insurance they did or didn’t have, they were going to pay the customer for the loss. The couple just refused to accept the amount it was worth because they believed it should be worth much more due to the gem coming from the $10,000 shaman experience and the sentimental value of the heirloom.
my dad threw out all my barbies at one point at least 15 years ago and im still mad
I don't understand people who disregard collection items just because they're not theirs.
absolutely loved the Chiitan chat at the beginning
Guys, stop making fun of his Timmy Turner cosplay!! He's clearly missing his fairy odd parents and it's making him the saddest boy!!
Cosmo and Wanda are right there? How do you not see them 😭
it took me way too long to realise Jarvis's hat didn't say 'feet jesus'
Hi boyz! Want to commend you for everything you’ve done and advocated for recently (Cody Ko, Palestine, etc.). Just know you never should feel pressured to advocate for stuff if you don’t feel comfortable! It’s important to do research and form a full opinion before you speak. I think y’all do that and it makes me proud to be a part of y’all’s community. Basically, keep doing ya thing and keep up the transparency!!
Nice to hear Jacob joshing around a bit more this episode-he’s a funny fella.
1:15:50 I've listened to enough Oh No Ross and Carrie that I can absolutely believe some shaman guy somewhere absolutely up-sold a moderately valuable crystal for a ridiculous price to a couple people too deep into the alternative spiritualism lifestyle to think about that being a bad idea.
about twitter- pretty much all of brazil (to my knowledge) has actually moved over to bluesky. I decided to follow them and man it feels a lot more sane over there… really brings into perspective how bad twt has gotten 💀
When America is the dominant audience websites are a nightmare. Especially when they're controlled by Americans anyway.

17:26 that’s the piece I’ve been forgetting! I haven’t been bodydoubling at all recently.
That ADHD talk was sooo helpful with so many things I’ve been struggling with lately.
I'm Japanese and I have a bad news about Chiitan. The talent agency that Chiitan belongs to, Kleeblatt inc., is known for producing an idol group named Kamen Joshi. The members were treated very poorly by the company: extremely low wages that forced the members to sleep in an office, and outing one of the member's sexuality and making jokes about it.
I don't blame anyone for supporting Chiitan since this is probably a lesser known fact, but just wanted to let people be aware. Especially since Chiitan recently gained popularity for being a trans ally, I honestly don't know how genuine that is, considering the company's history.
let people enjoy things challenge, level: impossible
@@annaSHRRR Trust me, I really wanted people to enjoy Chiitan, I wanted to enjoy Chiitan. I actually cried tears of joy because Chiitan is one of the very few big figures in Japan that expressed their support to trans people. But afterwards I was informed about the agency, and I think knowing this part of the story is important because there is a possibility that Chiitan's allyship to transgender people is only for pinkwashing.
I won't judge if you still decide to like or support Chiitan. After all, the company could have just changed for the better.
@@annaSHRRR companies not being shitty challenge: impossible
The next step would be to see if they make up for their misgivings. Chiitan being allowed to express trans positivity is a step in a direction I can say we only hope gets better. Of course they now have too many eyes to be terrible people again, don't you think?
I'm into crystals and stuff so I was also trying to picture how big this tanzanite was to be worth 10k; I'm baffled that her followers (who assumedly are into that stuff too) didn't question it
How do I live in a reality where someone with $10,000 of disposable income is dumber than me, a person without $10,000 of disposable income?
yup, love it 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
And a husband who is definitely pulling the wool over her fiance for having weird financial decisions. There's no way he found a clean domesticated bunny in the woods that he could catch and held it all the way home without it gnawing your arm off getting away.

so ummmm everything was closed on maui bc there was a literal HURRICANE on the island one of the reasons that the fires spread to much was because of the wind from the hurricane. soooooo them saying aw suck everything is closed now we can get engaged while the whole island was suffering is not that great!
It was like Alternates doing a reel for "out of touch rich white bleach blonde couple"
I really love how you guys check in with eachother, it’s so sweet and Jordan’s analogies make me so happy, it shows how much you care and I don’t know but it brings so much perspective and it makes me happy.

I'm sorry for being a nerd but I have a pet wasp and wasps also pollinate and are extremely important for the environment and parasitoid wasps help keep pests in check and there are TONS of wasp species that can't sting
There are some communal wasps outside my house, have been for the whole season, and they're very polite. They don't even come to look at us, they give us plenty of space even when I'm out there gardening. And we had a horrible earwig infestation that was eating all my plants and ending up All Over My House, but the wasps ate them :)
None of that matters when there is a species of wasp that mind controls it's victims.
They are a Demonic species.
Thank you, I have a little swarm of paper wasps right outside my apartment. They never did anything to me, never bothered me. They're peaceful garden helpers.
A PET WASP?? that’s crazy i didn’t even know you could do that (/pos)
youre so cool i saw the preview for this comment and had to tear UP the comments seeking cool wasp facts. what is ur wasps name and how many friends vs foes do they have
the longer this ring story goes on the more it seems entirely fabricated
Jarvis serving Timmy Turner realness today
The funniest thing about this is that putting that tanzanite into that setting would make the ring worth even less. They are so concerned about this "heirloom" and were basically destroying it.
Thank you for making Magic another episode on patreon!!!! Always excited for a new episode. Kinda bummed when it's just magic and nba. I don't mind it here and there though because I know it's your passions.
Paused at 0:00 to say Jarvis is dressed like Timmy Turner.
Start a magic podcast. I don’t even play magic but I enjoy hearing your enthusiasm for it.
Is this woman. Joking. Why all the details about the shamans. This. Has to be a joke right? "Straight from the mines"
I want this to be a joke
Edit: hmm. I think all these people are awful. I care not for a single person involved here.
The whole thing was a total wreck but somehow the phrase “the genji period” caused me harm
That's my read of the situation as well. I hate having knowledge of these people inflicted on me. Not by this podcast, but by the relentless churning Hot Take machine of the Internet. Like this isn't even a silly little fun drama, it's just people who I would rather not know about spreading their business around for what.
1:27 in some communities, an otter is a baby bear

Jordan, I also haven’t gotten my license so I feel you. I see you bro
Me neither 😔 One day though!
Jarvis and Jordan both look phenomenal today
I really relate to Jarvis. Sometimes you just feel more sad than other days and its like 10x worse if you're not sleeping enough. It's nice to hear he is working towards things he wants despite the drawbacks, I relate to that, the only comfort is taking each day at a time and try to work in our self-talk. But yeah, routine is so important for some of us with funny-wired brains and I also struggle when my routine gets thrown off and just can't pull myself to do anything at all. I have hope we'll be ok, it just sucks in the meantime ngl.
fed ex threw my package with s computer in it on my porch and broke it, i had it insured and filled my claim and multiple complaints and when i finally emailed them they pointed me in the direction of a 404 error page and said that was the new insurance program. she's never getting paid for that ring no matter how much its worth
WTF that is actual fucking dogshit 💀💀💀
Companies do the literal bare minimum 😭😭 sorry for your computer
appreciate & agree with jordan's comment on poc and white trans people. it is so so important that racial liberation and queer liberation needs to happen together metaphorically
I love the new set up behind y’all.
I think both of you guys are brilliant. There are so many things Jarvis and Jordan say that make me go “dude, that’s so profound and articulate”. One of the things I remember was Jarvis saying “let fruit be fruit” when talking about gamergate reactions.
SADBOYZ SHIRT ARRIVED THE MORNING OF THIS UPLOAD!!!!!
re the g4 stuff - iirc, for whatever reason in the ps3 era, games journalism was weirdly anti japanese games and they’d go out of their way to talk shit on it. meanwhile some really fucking solid japanese games came out around that time so jokes on them i guess
Yeah actually I've heard Japanese game devs talk about this racism- like the use of "jrpgs" being used to shit talk them and make them seem inherently foreign and different to American rpgs... which are never referred to as arpgs
9:49 “this is like if Oscar hosted the academy awards”
Jordan once again saying something that had me laughing crying on the floor, going completely unoticed, is utter comedic bliss, and one of the many reasons i keep falling in love with the show more and more each episode 😭
"I'm riding a tardigrade to the show!" Another incredible Jordan quip that goes unoticed cause he's so fast 😂
he dipped his pants in mustard 😦
I'm just waiting for the sequel where the engagement ring couple come back with a story-time about their baby who was somehow swapped at birth. They have a gut feeling and know, so they go to another (free!!) shaman to help find their baby - who tells them that with the power of a magical amulet (sold for the low-low price of $50,000), the internet will have the answer they seek. They finally find their child in a TikTok stitch and they instantly recognize them because they have the harshest, blondest center part you've ever seen 👱
Refreshed TH-cam to see where I left off in the podcast playlist and saw this was uploaded a minute ago! Love your content and the message y'all spread. Thanks for all you do!
Edit: So funny that MGS got brought up because I just started a new playthrough this week. Speaking on the amount of cutscenes, the opening prologue in the hospital is 45 minutes long if you do not skip cutscenes. I planned to skip through all of them but if I started to watch them, they would just pull me in and I'd forget to skip. I think that the cutscenes can bog down the gameplay but they are also so damn good.
After seeing what her fiance is like I understand why it cost $10k to cleanse one of his chakras. I don't know anything about chakras but I think he's got at least another $100k of work to do. The shamans better stock up on gems
Nevet watched your guy's podcast before and just wanna say I really like the 'how's it going' segment. Just you two being vunerable is such a nice thing to see in a way. I relate to some of the things you said and it makes me feel a little less alone in it

'How's it going' segment resonated with me, esp around 18 min. I had to work from home during covid, but it was a monotonous, miserable over the phone sales job. I had a hard time staying motivated because of all my comfort items, games, etc. were so close by, but I also struggled to completely relax because I could always see work waiting in the other room. Not being able to separate work and play, or leisure and focus, really destroyed my mental health for a while. I had to take work somewhere else before I could feel truly rested again, and really focus on the tasks at hand when clocked in.
That's why I cannot fathom living in an apartment with my house on top and the shop I work at downstairs. Like those barhouses with some random guy upstairs.
