What happens when life's challenges collide with the start of a new school semester? Join us on a heartfelt rollercoaster as Bianca shares her journey through grief after losing her mother to cancer, all while juggling the emotional and cultural intricacies of planning funeral arrangements between the Valley and Matamoros. We explore poignant moments of irony and resilience, blending in humor with tales of my Pokémon Go adventures and a past accident that left me a bit worse for wear, all underscoring the strength and support found within friendship and community during testing times.

Switching gears, we chat about the changing tides of our social circles, missing familiar faces like Keith, and the rollercoaster ride of TikTok's fleeting disappearance. With amusing anecdotes about gifting Monster drinks and updates on hot topics like Gypsy Rose and the Mendez brothers, we lighten the mood. Plus, we're thrilled to share our podcast journey on YouTube, showing off the quirks of our TikTok exchanges and reaffirming our dedication to our fans. Bianca and I close with a hopeful promise to keep the episodes coming, embracing the chaos with humor and a shared commitment to consistency.

Bianca:

David:

And we're back.

Bianca:

With updates and excuses. I guess you would call them.

David:

Maybe so again, we thought we were done with all this stuff, but life has happened to us again, this time pertaining to Bianca, so I will let her tell the stories from here.

Bianca:

Okay, guys. So where do I start? Crazy year started, I guess, but even before that, we're taking time off because of the holidays. Everybody was out and about, you know, doing their own thing. Time off because of the holidays everybody was out and about, you know, doing their own thing. Um, after the holidays, uh, my mom has been battling, was battling cancer for a while, um, a good four years or so. Um, unfortunately, she lost the battle, uh, on january 13th. She lost the battle on January 13th Ironically, it was my first day of class Got the call in the middle of the day, had to get out.

Bianca:

It was crazy stuff. Man had to get everything arranged. It was a whole process. And then people here in the Valley tend to like get a funeral service here and then also one in matamoros or surrounding areas right for family members that are across the border. So we had to do that for my mom as well. So it was another paperwork process, um, and then bury her over there as well, in matamoros. So, uh, I've been busy, not even just my mom's stuff, but actually like since going back to school. It's been a whole process trying to like stay in school and like actually like just focusing on something. Honestly, it's like my brain was all over the place. Still is, though Still is, but trying to like recover back into it, so I'm here.

David:

Yep.

Bianca:

Getting back into it.

David:

Yep, it's been a rough little bit. Yeah, we're not even in what two a few days into February as we're recording this, we're on the 4th of February today, so ironically, yeah, Related, unrelated. I guess today would have been my parents' anniversary today if they stayed married to each other.

Bianca:

What the fuck am I going to do?

David:

I swear it's related, unrelated because it's me.

Bianca:

Right.

David:

Yes, no, but it was very. It's a whole shit show as somebody somebody as a bystander than all of this right, because I mean, I knew your mom a little bit. But yeah um, she wasn't my mom. Um, the fact that this was your first day of school seemed like such bad luck.

Bianca:

Wait you think I should drop off.

David:

So this is what.

Bianca:

Should I take it as a sign? What do you?

David:

mean, I got a picture of you in the morning.

Bianca:

Oh, that's true, and you took a picture. And man like just a couple of hours later you messaged me and I was like fucking shit, Do we consider that a soho? Somebody had to make a soho. Somebody made a soho, yeah.

David:

Or you, I don't know.

Bianca:

I mean, maybe the vibes were there, the vibes, the vibes man.

David:

So I think it goes without saying. I think everybody knows this already, especially people who know you well, like I do.

Bianca:

Mm-hmm.

David:

You are an amazing, incredibly strong person. Oh, amazing, incredibly strong person. And all of this that I've kind of watched, you know, being your friend and listening through what you've had to go through yeah, um, I am beyond amazed by you my dog margan I don't know what the he's mad, mad about.

Bianca:

That's like where's Sandy?

David:

That's Sandy Sandy, which I got from Bianca oh my God, anyways, and he's broken? No, he's not.

Bianca:

He sold me a broken dog.

David:

Not as broken as your skull. I'll tell you that. Okay, so I'm going to be posting a picture of my skull, Do we have the body cam video, yet we don't. So I thought, because I went and signed a bunch of papers at the police station right, I think you just have to ask for it yeah, so they told me that they were going to take the guy to court that hit us and that do the whole thing, leave the processing and they were like if we need you to, if we need you to testify, are you willing to do that?

David:

and I was like I wasn't conscious the whole time, like I don't remember anything about what exactly? Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna say, but I told them I would do it. They never contacted me back, so I don't know what happened. Um, however, related to that, I play Pokemon Go Right, and I'm kind of a big deal. I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you guys.

David:

I'm a badass. I'm level 50. I'm playing from the beginning. I'm one of the best players in the world there. I said it, right? So our accident was on a Thursday, right? So our, our accident was on a Thursday. And then that weekend was a big day where everybody gets together and they play. In Brownsville they play at at our school, tsc, where we went to school and everybody meets there and they play bubble.

Bianca:

Right.

David:

And so, obviously because I was unconscious, I didn't go Right and I was in hospital, obviously, so I didn't go fast and I was in hospital.

Bianca:

Obviously.

David:

So I didn't go Fast forward. Like three months later and I'm back and I'm playing and there's another community day and I show up, and so there's like 200 players this day.

Bianca:

Okay.

David:

And I know a lot of them. So the whole day I haven't seen any of these people.

Bianca:

I'm going up catching up.

David:

Hey, we heard you in an accident and I'm telling the whole story over and over and over, right, yeah. Well, halfway through this day, a lady comes up to me and she says it's so I'm so glad to see you up and around.

David:

Well, she says this is going to sound really weird, but it's so good to see you up and around. Okay, and so I'm thinking, because of my hit podcast, that I have Right. Okay, she must recognize me from somewhere, that I don't know who. This is right, either that I'm also a TikToker, a YouTuber.

Bianca:

You're a busy person out there in social media, busy person.

David:

And so it's not uncommon that people recognize me and I don't recognize them.

Bianca:

Yeah, because they usually recognize you because of the voice and stuff.

David:

I have a voice right, and so she says I was the x-ray technician that took your x-rays the night of the accident so the one here on central, like the first hospital that took you in? Okay, okay, okay and she says you were unconscious and you were intubated and we didn't know if you were gonna make it, and so the fact that you're up and around is like amazing. And so she said that something to the effect that God must have molested me or touched me or something.

David:

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know what kind of God she has, but he touches people apparently. I don't know.

Bianca:

So now God is just. I don't know, I don't want to get myself involved in that.

David:

Maybe that's a future episode, maybe I don't know. I don't know, I don't want to get myself involved in there. Maybe there's a future episode, maybe I don't know, but she says so. This is kind of interesting. She says a few days after your accident there was a community day and she goes. And everybody was talking about Chubstone was in this. That's my name in the game, chubstone, okay.

Bianca:

Everybody was talking about the Chubstone was in this horrible accident and I kept saying, well, what's his real name? What's his real name? Maybe I know who he is, maybe I and she says, nobody fucking knows your real name. Like, but is that day you're gonna tell me that, oh, like yeah, we didn't know what accident.

David:

Or like, there's not many car accidents like that bad yeah, I doubt there's that many bad ones with famous podcasters right, but it's probably because they didn't hear your talk.

Bianca:

You were intubated that's probably true yeah, that's probably true and I didn't.

David:

They didn't hear me say welcome back right with my team music, right, right, that's everybody thinks that's you.

Bianca:

I love that that's fucking crazy, because what the fuck? There's no. Anyways, you're not a bad singer it could be you, all right.

David:

So another, have you heard me?

Bianca:

sing.

David:

There's no way I think I have pretty sure, pretty sure, usually like bad bunny stuff, but still bad bunny stuff.

Bianca:

I don't even fucking listen to Bad Bunny that much.

David:

It was a long time ago and you had been drinking. Let's just say that.

Bianca:

Wait, Wait. What the fuck was this? Okay?

David:

Oh, that's still playing. Anyway, the next update. I think we need to kind of close the loop.

Bianca:

You're going to show your skull thing.

David:

Oh yeah, that's me Kind of crazy right.

Bianca:

It is, but that's July 10th.

David:

So our accident was like at 1130.

Bianca:

So on the 9th. So everything happened. This is like early, early're on the 9th, so everything happened this is like early early morning on the 10th, like 12. Like you're probably, you are probably in the house like I woke up like at 2 in the morning, I think and they let me get they. Let me get out like at 3 in the morning, 4 in the morning, I don't remember but it was the 10th yeah, when they let me go, yeah, it still doesn't make sense why the fuck he's acting like.

Bianca:

I'm not gonna say he's acting, but like come on, there's no way. I didn't have like nothing happened to me but that happened.

David:

You think I broke my skull before the accident I think what happened?

Bianca:

since I was left unconscious, you were like oh, there's no way.

David:

This and I got like a hammer. Yeah, you got something and you hit yourself because I am very competitive, and speaking of how competitive I can be right we need an update update on keith, I knew it, I knew it so uh shit, here we go again so this is the update everybody's really been waiting for, right, and so the reason I feel like we should close the loop.

Bianca:

It's not going to happen. Like you're playing hard to get at this point, You're just like.

David:

This is the thing, right. We met him at a Christmas party, right.

Bianca:

Yeah.

David:

And we had a Christmas party in December.

Bianca:

Yeah.

David:

With all of the same people, we got some new people. Yeah, this recent one With all of the same people.

Bianca:

We got some new people, but we lost some people too. We lost some people too.

David:

And one of the people that we lost. That we didn't see he was not invited. I don't know, because we're not the ones doing the inviting. We're not coordinators of these events we show up.

Bianca:

We just get invited, we show up, we do the meet and greet, that's it.

David:

Our agents do all the talking, yeah, and we just show up to the applause.

Bianca:

We shake hands the questions we share stories, take a few pictures. Yeah, a few signatures here and there, signing boobs and stuff.

David:

Keith was not there Keyword.

Bianca:

Keith was not there.

David:

So I think we need to close this story up. Yeah, Now this is where it's difficult for me, because I never scored on the board and my score stayed zero the whole time. You're lying. What did I score?

Bianca:

Anything. You bought him for his birthday a pack of monsters and you took them.

David:

Is that true?

Bianca:

Yes.

David:

I remember that.

Bianca:

That's crazy, because you told me about it.

David:

It might be true. It might be true.

Bianca:

Because she sent you, she told you to go buy it.

David:

Okay, so that sounds true.

Bianca:

It is.

David:

I don't remember what do you mean. I'm going to take your word for it. So this is the thing. I don't know how many points. That is Right, but you did something for him. I'm going to take your word for it.

Bianca:

So this is the thing. I don't know how many points.

David:

That is Right, but you did something for him, and so you see him more than I do.

Bianca:

But it's not even like that.

David:

I'm not biting him monsters that we know of. What that's crazy, but this is the thing I don't know. If you get negative points, why? Because you've had some boyfriends during this time.

Bianca:

I do have a boyfriend.

David:

And so with me, I think I've kind of been the same.

Bianca:

You're in the same position, that's true.

David:

I haven't got any new girlfriends. I haven't got any new boyfriends, that's true. I'm just stuck at zero.

Bianca:

Nothing has changed in your relationship. Nothing changed. I have not moved up, I have not moved back. That's true, that's true.

David:

You've got some movement on your side.

Bianca:

I always got movement, but the thing is that I got ADHD, so I can stay still. I'll tell you that much, bro, what the fuck I'm telling you. Okay, so let's just close it out All right.

David:

So I don't want to win, I mean, I don't want to lose, I don't know how to.

Bianca:

You want to lose I don't know how to you want to win. You know that.

David:

I do want to win, you want to win, so we're going to close the story. We're not going. I'm going to be honest with you. It's been so long since I've seen him I forget that he's a story that we talk about on the podcast like you at least see him.

Bianca:

I just remember, because I went back to school and I see him like once in a while well, not once in a while like almost every day yeah, so I think that means you win.

David:

That's extra points for you right there. I probably haven't seen. I have not seen him. That I remember since before christmas, because I was expecting to see him at the christmas party, same same.

Bianca:

I was like kind of excited because he got some good stories.

David:

Not gonna lie, it was entertaining all right, so that's extra points for bianca what the fuck for complimenting someone yeah, she likes his stories, and so sounds like bianca took the lead. You're gonna tell me you didn't like the stories and I'm gonna be honest with you, I wasn't paying attention to it you're lying I don't even know you're lying, you're lying, you are, you are all right, so any other updates? Do you have any news on gypsy rose that you you know that people maybe want to hear about?

Bianca:

wasn't she trying to get back with the first husband?

David:

I'm going to be honest with you. She's very hard for me to follow.

Bianca:

Yeah, I mean, I lost track on that.

David:

I lost track of her.

Bianca:

The Mendez brothers? I mean, I don't even know. So there is news on the Mendez brothers.

David:

What happened? So the district attorney, which is Kim Kardashian no, kim Kardashian was talking about setting them free or changing their sentence.

Bianca:

Oh, that's true, and he was petitioning to the judge.

David:

Well, he was not reelected, and so now there's a new district attorney, oh, and he has yet to decide, so the boys are still in prison.

Bianca:

So you're still waiting on the yes or no.

David:

And so we still they took some steps back. Let's say that, oh shit. So any other stories that we can update?

Bianca:

Honestly, I have no idea.

David:

We're a little bit.

Bianca:

We're clueless right now.

David:

We've been out of the cycle for a little while. Yeah, TikTok what the hell? Okay, so let's talk about TikTok.

Bianca:

What the fuck.

David:

Yeah, so they took TikTok away from us Kind of I'm going to say kind of Because President Biden on his last few days said I'm not going to do anything with this. Tiktok shut themselves down yeah, before President Trump took office few days, said I'm not gonna do anything with this tiktok shut themselves down yeah, before president trump took office. And then, before he took office, they came back on their own. They closed themselves, they opened themselves. Yeah, I didn't even notice that they were off, because I noticed that they were back on like I didn't even it went through the face they were.

David:

They were off for six hours it.

Bianca:

it was off and then I couldn't get fucking access to it and I got mad and I like uninstalled it. So I got pissed right. I got like I was checking it like every two to three minutes and I was like what the hell? I was like it's not showing, it's not showing, so I just fucking deleted it and I got fucking mad. I was like, yeah, what the hell? I was like it's not showing, it's not showing, so I just fucking deleted it and I got fucking mad. I was like, yeah, I'm not going to do this shit, they're not going to have me checking every two to three minutes, right?

David:

Yeah.

Bianca:

Because that's what I do, right. So I deleted that shit, and then they started saying like, oh, like, it's back on.

David:

I was like what the fuck? So that might be why nobody's commenting on my tiktoks. What happens when I?

Bianca:

send you a tiktok, have you been? I haven't opened them. Oh yeah, so I only check instagram so I didn't even realize. If you guys want to catch me doing something. I'm on instagram I.

David:

You know what. That makes a lot of sense because you don't send me tiktoks anymore, you're sending me Instagrams.

Bianca:

This is you and you never sent me. I didn't tell you.

David:

You never sent me Instagrams before, and now, all of a sudden, I'm getting Instagrams up the wazoo. That makes sense. I know a few people who are in your situation that deleted it.

Bianca:

But yeah, I deleted it because I didn't want to have them like having me looking stupid.

David:

I was like nobody's going to do that yeah no, nobody's gonna do that. They look stupid. Yeah, because they they got a less user, that's true. So I didn't delete nothing. So I still getting products. They sent me products and I do them and so we can sells, and I did. However, the day before or two days before, I cashed out all the money that they had on my account I had a bunch of commissions and stuff Cashed it all out. It's already building back up.

Bianca:

Might as well.

David:

From what I understand, the agreement is that they're giving them 75 days to get sold or whatever, so they may shut it down again. I don't know.

Bianca:

That's weird.

David:

Yeah. Alright, any other President, trump is president again.

Bianca:

Again.

David:

We're doing part two of that now. Oh, they're doing the mass deportations. I guess that's kind of new.

Bianca:

Oh, that's true, they're doing all that shit extra too.

David:

I haven't seen anything in Brownsville but I'm sure it's coming.

Bianca:

I mean allegedly, they fucking started saying that they were checking storage units and stuff, why they're Do they think people live in storage units Apparently?

David:

That's interesting. So I think that's it for this episode.

Bianca:

I think so too.

David:

I mean, I have, I don't have any more updates, but we're back and my condolences officially. I've talked to you since then, but no you did give me your condolences. I did, I did. But, now everybody knows that I did it.

Bianca:

He just does it for the fans. I did, I did. But now everybody knows that I did it. He just does it for the fans, I did it. That's it. It's the optics of it, right, it's the optics of it Right right, right.

David:

So we're recording video of our podcast and we're putting them on YouTube if you want to see what we look like in the little kind of the under the table looks that we give each other don't say that. What are you talking about? Don't bring up that. You can see our facial reactions.

Bianca:

David:

I can tell you this Bianca and I do our best. We love the podcast. We do. We appreciate our fans. This is what we do, anyway. We talk all day about this kind of stuff.

Bianca:
