"Alright.. we're starting today's episode off with an apology.." Valentina spoke up as they begun recording their podcast. "It's been a couple weeks since we've uploaded and we're sorry.. there has been a lot going on. But hopefully from now we'll be more consistent."
"Anyway.." Adalyn subtly shook her head at her final comment before turning to face the elder, "Can we just go straight into the questions. I drove up to my boyfriend, Val came, that's how our weeks been, nothing exciting. I enjoyed being with him, but nothing unusual happened."
"Okay.." she slowly nodded. "So we put up a question thing on Instagram, similar to how we did when we had the Why Don't We boys on, and we're gonna answer the unhinged, nothing off limits questions- to an extent, maybe not everything. Do you wanna go first?"
"Sure," she agreed. "Can I have your phone though, I can't be fucked to log back into the account."
"Why did you logout?"
"I deleted the app a while ago," Adalyn explained. "Why do you think you do everything on it?"
"Cause you never liked doing anything, you just like sitting here and talking shit," she laughed, hanging her phone over to the girl. "That's the real reason I do everything."
"But you've also never asked for me to do anything," she said as she mindlessly scrolled through the submissions, picking a random one and glancing down at it. "oh, nice and spicy to start it off.. last time you had sex?"
"Last night," Valentina slowly nodded. "And you?"
"This morning, and last night" she let out a small chuckle as she looked over at her boyfriend behind the camera, keeping her eyes on him. "Jack's been horny lately-"
"Don't say that," Jack shook his head.
"What? I like it!"
"I know you do.."
"Fine.. I keep asking for it," Adalyn told a slight lie to keep the boy happy while softly shaking her head. "Is that better babe?"
"sure.."
"Jack's obviously here with us," Valentina mentioned to the viewers while receiving her phone back from the youngest. "Alright next question.. do we have a favorite ex? Interesting cause there's a reason they're an ex.."
"Can I say Jack? He was technically an ex of mine at one point. I refused to give either of the two the title."
"I mean I only have one official ex and I would not say that he's my favorite.. I'd rather be single than ever go back with him," the other babbled.
"Yet you didn't think that way when I told you to break up with him multiple times cause he treated you like shit?" she raised a brow.
"Next question.." she jokingly cleared her throat with a small laugh. "Most of these aren't really about the exes and oh's topic.. but let's answer them anyway.. Adalyn, are you going to Jack's other shows?"
"This will come out after the shows but nope, just Vegas," she grabbed her friend's phone to find another question, lighting up as she picked one, "Oo favorite Disney princess movie?! Tangled! I was obsessed."
"What one's that..?"
"I'm offended!" she held her free hand up to her heart as she looked at Valentina.
"I'm sorryyy," she dragged out her words slightly. "You have to remember that I didn't have money, okay, so I only had like five movies.. Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan andd Bambi, growing up, none of this 'Tangled' shit."
"Tangled is not shit! Rapunzel is an independent woman who don't let no one tell her what do to, but likes her hottie, Flynn Rider, to be there with her through it all. She could've went out in the world on her own like she wanted but keep her man there with her to protect her. Would smash by the way, he is fine."
"I don't think the question was which Disney character you'd smash.." Jack chimed in, lightly furrowing his brows at her.
"Shut up."
"I can see why you like it," Valentina slowly nodded. "You don't let people tell you what to do and don't let them walk all over you, but also you like to have someone there with you to keep you safe when you're out in the world."
"I would like to thank my Tangled obsession for that. I wanted to be her for like a year when the movie first came out," she laughed slightly. "I even had a chameleon named Pascal just like in the movie."
"I remember your chameleon, you brought it to school one time for a presentation thing to show off how much money everyone had. Anyway my favorite Disney princess movie would probably be.. probably Snow White or Cinderella."
"We weren't friends till senior year- I don't know if we've talked about this on here yet.." Adalyn explained before turning back to the other. "But you dressed up as Cinderella for a halloween thing at school, before we were friends, and I remember being so fucking jealous cause I wanted your dress so bad. It was like perfect."
"Mom had made that for me.. I couldn't find one at the store and I was in tears, and she was like 'hey, it's okay, I'll make you one'. It made me so happy, I appreciated her so much," she explained, sniffling slightly as she wiped away a few tears.
"Why are you crying now?" she asked through a small laugh.
"I'm emotional!" she chuckled. "And I miss my Mom a lot. She's really who I look up to."
"mh anyway, next question.. body count? Don't know why its important to literally anyone but anyway I don't even know my own.."
"Mine's only four.. I will admit that," Valentina pressed her lips together for a second. "I like personal connection when it comes to sex. Except the guy I lost my virginity to, that's a different story cause I wanted to get it over with- which I do kinda regret doing, and regret not waiting for someone who actually loves me."
"uh I'm very much the opposite, mine uh.." the other hummed as she thought about it. "nah I'm not gonna, it's 'way too high' considering I was only single for like a year... But to be honest though, it shouldn't matter, like I think the whole stigma around body count for girls needs to be dropped."
"So true, a number doesn't really change who a person is," she agreed, grabbing her phone back and finding another question. "..I'm never answering my boyfriend's name, there's no need, I don't want people harassing him about our relationship. Anyway um.. waxing or shaving? What do we personally prefer?"
"I've gotten everything lasered when I was a teen so I don't really need to go often anymore, and then I get everything else waxed," Adalyn answered. "No shaving, fuck that, too much effort, I don't even own a razor."
"I shave my arms cause the hairs really light, then wax my legs, bikini and whatever else. I should just book to get lasered but I can't seem to justify it although it'd probably be cheaper," she mentioned while finding another question. "Anyway.. is therapy good? I think this is also a personal preference thing, and it depends on what you believe really.."
"I think it's a rip off honestly," the youngest shrugged. "I get that it help you, Val, but I would never in a million years pay someone to tell me something that literally anyone could tell you for free. I don't have any trauma or 'mental issues' or whatever people do that shit for so I don't believe in it for myself. I'd would much rather spend my money else where."
"You're allowed your own opinion but I personally think otherwise," Valentina agreed to disagree. "And before people get mad at Addie for saying that, she took me to and paid for my therapy after my Mother had passed away, and that helped me a lot and she knows that."
"Yeah, like I said I know it helped Val out and I know it can help a lot of other people, it's just not something for me," Adalyn defended herself. "I don't see a reason for me to go to therapy, I already have my ways to cope, and he's sitting over there.."
"Right.. Anyway I use to go to therapy once a week but as I healed and learnt how to personally cope with the pain and everything, I now go like once a month, not cause I still have anything major going on but because I just like having that safe space to be able to let out how I'm feeling at times without having it interrupt relationships."
"Like don't get me wrong," Valentina continued. "I think being open and honest is essential to a relationship and friendships.. but I think it's also good not to dump trauma, negative thoughts, all that, onto a person who isn't trained- or prepared is probably a better word, prepared to mentally help you. Because I feel that it can be very draining for one in your personal life to deal with the responsibility of keeping you happy."
"Loved ones can be great to talk to about things, but sometimes and some situations it's good to let someone professionally help you. But also don't at all feel like you need to close all that off from friends and partners and people you trust, because support from those people during hard times is also very important."
"I hope that made sense.." Valentina concluded. "Also I'm not speaking from a professional view here, this is just how I feel about it all, you don't have to agree or listen to what I just said."
"mh interesting," Adalyn let out a small inaudible huff. "Anyway next question.."
