A Regular Guy & Gal Christmas
Hey Kweenz, Christmas Eve is here and, as promised, so is RGF. How going home, or being with people from your past, can return you to your eight year old self and what can be done to resist. How not stepping on false accusations can make them truths. How much the name of your business, or title of your project, equates to success. Just ask @prettylittlebakers. How there's a difference between civilians and samurai and the importance of knowing both. How carnies named Popcorn and Clyde can teach us the difference between a Tuesday and a Saturday and how knowing the right answer factors into achieving the loftiest goal. Are you, or have you ever been, a Pick Me Girl or Guy? Are you, or have you been, a Main Character? Is there anything more important than being popular or getting likes? A HUGE RGF book announcement, tentative title: How to Build Your Throne in a Land of Kweenz. Rankin and Bass tells us that Christmas is what you make it and RGF tells us this, or any, holiday season you're never alone. LOOK FOR FRESH BETTER TOGETHER CONTENT DURING THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEK! Bye Christmas Betches.

BUT if you're defending and clarifying who you are over and over then you're not talking to the right people just ask Maria or a certain cast member from MTV's Challenge. Thank universe nightly for continuing to bring people who see you and make room for them to come. Your enemies are teachers who can guide you to your best selves. How having less can reduce anxiety, instill confidence and increase strength. How more Americans will migrate to more relaxed cultures. How you don't need to spend a lot on style even if you're on MTV. How Bhad Baby and the Heal Squad have this one thing in common. How it's not Happy Halloween but Happy HalloKween. How Kev, without Kelsey, forgot the signature RGF sign off but remembered to remind you all "I Got Juice Bitch.' Sorry...."I Got Juice, Betch.'
PS: The biggest question remains: Do the Heal Squad Got Juice, Bitch? Bhad Bhaby and Kelsey thinks so. Let us know in the comments.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 37: How Explaining is a Means of Seeking Approval
Yes, when we are explaining, often we are seeking approval. And when we are responding, often we are negotiating - and none of it's a good thing. When we make choices, this is the question we must ask ourselves. Feed your messiah complex and get nailed to the cross. During times of transformation, be aware of this test the universe will give you. The series Maid on Netflix is great for anyone devastated by life circumstances and attempting a comeback. You can scam all you want but you gotta work - and clean up after yourself if you move back in with your parents while you're at it. What is the acronym FEPO and how can it help you cope with certain people? Over on Tik Tok, Couch Guy is a thing of the past making room for Noodle the Pug. Why Los Angeles may value Halloween over all the holidays and how Keven is off to Amsterdam, Kelsey is off to Washington and Pooja doesn't know what three costumes she will wear. Yet only Kelsey can properly enunciate 'Bye Betches.' Bye Betches.
