1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Hi, Hi, Catherine, Hi, Chelsea. Tak it to our many

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: many mini minisode.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: It's just like a teeny Meani Sode Chelsea, I have

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: a funny email from someone that totally relates to our

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Naomi Watts episode that just came out. Maggie says, I

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: can totally second that menopause is not all terrible. It's

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: not all doom and gloom. I'm fifty eight and postmenopausal,

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: and I'm here to tell you that menopause is something

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: to look forward to all caps. It is a gift.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: It's complete liberation from everything. The patriarchy wants us to

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: think it's bad because we stop giving a shit about

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: men once it starts. The pharmaceutical industry wants us to

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: think it's bad because they can sell us meds for it.

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: But it's awesome. To quote Christ and Scott Thomas and Fleabag,

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: I lead a very healthy life and menopause is magnificent,

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: So that's an exciting thing to look forward to. She

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: also says I have two vacation properties, Joshua Tree and

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Palm Springs, and I save all my Dear Chelsea episodes

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: for when I'm driving to my properties.

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I love that as soon as I get in the.

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: Car Syria to play Dear Chelsea, and you and your

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: guests are my company as I drive. Love it, Maggie.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Oh that makes me happy. I love that.

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: Menopause, Maggie, yep, menopause, Maggie.

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Chelsea. We have two callers today for a couples count Graying.

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: They are Kendall and Olivia. They are calling in from

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: the East Coast and they say, Dear Chelsea, this is

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: Kendall riding in. My girlfriend and I are both twenty

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: four years old. We met at un Ah and have

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: been together for two and a half years. I live

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: in mass and she lives in New Hampshire, and we

33
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: can't decide on a third state to move to. I

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: don't want to move back to New Hampshire as I

35
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: went to school there, and we don't want to stay

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: in Mass as we've been doing a long distance back

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: and forth from both states. Any help on how to

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: decide on a third state to move to or any

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: states you love? Being in love you both so much.

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Thanks for any help, Kendall. So we'll wait for Olivia

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: before we respond. But I have thoughts I do too. Yeah,

42
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: right off the top of my head. Yes, well, what

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: can get started. We'll just wait for her to pop

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: in and then we'll recap.

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: What about Connecticut, that's a good one.

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: I have been there a couple of times before.

47
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're already on the East, do you

48
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: like the East Coast, like that Eastern seaboard?

49
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Part of the country too. That's kind of my that's

51
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: where I'm from.

52
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm from New Jersey, so it's not quite but I

53
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: grew up on the Cape, so I like that vibe.

54
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: I like New Hampshire, I like Massachusetts. I think Connecticut

55
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 4: is a nice compromise between the two, and it still

56
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: has the same vibe that you're used to.

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. We've we've also gone to Portland,

58
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: Maine a couple of times.

59
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Maine is awesome.

60
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: It's like so fun and quaint, but there's like tons of.

61
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: Specially for lesbians. Yes, right, yeah, what don't you like about?

62
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 5: Hi?

63
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Hi?

64
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: We were just talking about we were just talking about

65
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 4: your future and whether or not you're gonna move to

66
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: Connecticut or Maine.

67
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: Sounds good. Yeah, those two we've been talking about a

68
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: little bit.

69
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: So Portland Maine whenever I perform, whenever I go to Portland, Maine,

70
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: I always want an extra day there because I just

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: love that.

72
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: Food and I love Portland.

73
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: I find that just to be just a cool, cool

74
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: town all the way through.

75
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: As it's like a city, like a mini city. You know, it's.

76
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 4: Totally manageable, and there's a lot of like minded people there.

77
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: You can pack up your lesbian Birkenstocks and just go

78
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: up there together and hit it. Connecticut, I was mentioning,

79
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: but Connecticut has certain parts that are really beautiful and

80
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 4: certain parts that are a bit more rough. And I'm thinking, like,

81
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: the beautiful parts are really pretty expensive. But there are

82
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: like cities like Hartford, and you know, there are cities

83
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: in Connecticut that could be I mean, it would be

84
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: worth doing a little like trip where you guys go

85
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: to like hang out in some cities in Connecticut. Go

86
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: to Stamford, go to Hartford. Or you don't want to

87
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: go to Boston, right because you're from mass.

88
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're not big city people.

89
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So I would say go to Portland first

90
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: and see what the vibe is there. If you guys

91
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: like that, go for a weekend and see how you

92
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: like it.

93
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: What kind of stuff do you guys like to do?

94
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: Are you hikers? What are you doing fun time?

95
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm more of like outdoorsy kind of stuff.

96
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: I mean, but we both like doing the crafty set

97
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: of things too, like the pottery, the wine, sip and

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: paint nights, those kinds of things and lives.

99
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: Always been a big skier, but I've never skied in

100
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: my life, Chelsea, you believe it or not, but we

101
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: want to get into snowboarding.

102
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Actually, so what about Vermont?

103
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 3: I haven't been to Vermont, like as an adult.

104
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: Vermont's pretty cool. I don't know where. I haven't been

105
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: with Vermont in so many years. I'm just trying to

106
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: think of, like what the main cities there are Montpelier,

107
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: but Vermont is cool. And but once you're on the

108
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: East Coast, then you can have access to those ski places.

109
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: I mean, there's Camelback, there's a Bunch, there's you know

110
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: in Connecticut, there's Stowe, there's Killington, So you could have

111
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: access to all those places once you're in that area.

112
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: And then there's a there's a Rhode Island, there's Providence,

113
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: there's Provincetown that's super gay that's fun. I mean, I've

114
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: been there bunch of times and that's a blast. And Providence,

115
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: Rhode Island is awesome. Yeah, I don't know what the

116
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: cost of living is there, Like if it's expensive, I

117
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: probably seemingly, but I'm sure you know there's areas in

118
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: all of these places that kind of go across the

119
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: board from more affordable to less affordable.

120
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: And if you do decide to venture away from the

121
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Eastern Seaboard, I will say Chicago is an amazing city

122
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: to be young and gay in.

123
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: It is a great place.

124
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: You can head up to Andersonville, which is like a

125
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: lot of cities have like a boys town, but that's

126
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: where all the lesbians live.

127
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Like that's funny. Yeah, all the boys town. There are

128
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: lots of lesbians.

129
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: Not a lot of cities have a spot for urbans.

130
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, at least gay men are allowing gay women to

131
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: take over versus straight men allowing straight women to take over.

132
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: And then I would also say go to the other Portland,

133
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Like check out Portland, Oregon. It's fantastic. There's lots of

134
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: outdoorsy stuff but also lots of creative people. But I

135
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: love your idea, Chelsea of like go for a weekend,

136
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: Like do a three day weekend in a bunch of

137
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: different cities, get an airba and be walk around.

138
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: And make sure you incorporate all the things you love,

139
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: you know, like make sure you incorporate the outdoors, the aspects,

140
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: and like the crafting aspects. Do your research before you

141
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: go so that you can get all that stuff in,

142
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: Like make sure you're going to the restaurants that you're

143
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 4: interested in, going to the kind of style of food

144
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: you like to eat, and so that you're experiencing the

145
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: city and don't just stay in one area of that city.

146
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: Really really take in the city.

147
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely, Thank you guys so much.

148
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, best of luck, and let us know where you settle,

150
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,200

Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, definitely, And congrats I'm being together and being

Speaker 1: Girls. Thank you.

154
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: Right, you don't hear that that often anymore, I.

155
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Know, I know. It's nice to see though.

156
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: All Right, have a great day and check back.

157
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: And Chelsea. Can I just back up Brittany Broski and
