WEBVTT - Minisode: Gayest Cities with Chelsea + Catherine

0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Hi, Catherine, Hi, Chelsea. Tak it to our many

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>many mini minisode.

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 2>It's just like a teeny Meani Sode Chelsea, I have

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>a funny email from someone that totally relates to our

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Naomi Watts episode that just came out. Maggie says, I

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>can totally second that menopause is not all terrible. It's

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>not all doom and gloom. I'm fifty eight and postmenopausal,

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and I'm here to tell you that menopause is something

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to look forward to all caps. It is a gift.

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It's complete liberation from everything. The patriarchy wants us to

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 2>think it's bad because we stop giving a shit about

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>men once it starts. The pharmaceutical industry wants us to

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 2>think it's bad because they can sell us meds for it.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>But it's awesome. To quote Christ and Scott Thomas and Fleabag,

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I lead a very healthy life and menopause is magnificent,

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's an exciting thing to look forward to. She

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 2>also says I have two vacation properties, Joshua Tree and

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Palm Springs, and I save all my Dear Chelsea episodes

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for when I'm driving to my properties.

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I love that as soon as I get in the.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Car Syria to play Dear Chelsea, and you and your

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 2>guests are my company as I drive. Love it, Maggie.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh that makes me happy. I love that.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Menopause, Maggie, yep, menopause, Maggie.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea. We have two callers today for a couples count Graying.

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>They are Kendall and Olivia. They are calling in from

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 2>the East Coast and they say, Dear Chelsea, this is

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 2>Kendall riding in. My girlfriend and I are both twenty

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 2>four years old. We met at un Ah and have

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>been together for two and a half years. I live

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>in mass and she lives in New Hampshire, and we

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>can't decide on a third state to move to. I

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to move back to New Hampshire as I

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>went to school there, and we don't want to stay

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>in Mass as we've been doing a long distance back

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and forth from both states. Any help on how to

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>decide on a third state to move to or any

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>states you love? Being in love you both so much.

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for any help, Kendall. So we'll wait for Olivia

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>before we respond. But I have thoughts I do too. Yeah,

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>right off the top of my head. Yes, well, what

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>can get started. We'll just wait for her to pop

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in and then we'll recap.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>What about Connecticut, that's a good one.

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I have been there a couple of times before.

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you're already on the East, do you

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 4>like the East Coast, like that Eastern seaboard?

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Part of the country too. That's kind of my that's

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>where I'm from.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm from New Jersey, so it's not quite but I

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>grew up on the Cape, so I like that vibe.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 4>I like New Hampshire, I like Massachusetts. I think Connecticut

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 4>is a nice compromise between the two, and it still

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>has the same vibe that you're used to.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. We've we've also gone to Portland,

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Maine a couple of times.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Maine is awesome.

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>It's like so fun and quaint, but there's like tons of.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Specially for lesbians. Yes, right, yeah, what don't you like about?

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 5>Hi?

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Hi?

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 4>We were just talking about we were just talking about

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 4>your future and whether or not you're gonna move to

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Connecticut or Maine.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Sounds good. Yeah, those two we've been talking about a

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 5>little bit.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 4>So Portland Maine whenever I perform, whenever I go to Portland, Maine,

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 4>I always want an extra day there because I just

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 4>love that.

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Food and I love Portland.

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 4>I find that just to be just a cool, cool

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 4>town all the way through.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>As it's like a city, like a mini city. You know, it's.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Totally manageable, and there's a lot of like minded people there.

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 4>You can pack up your lesbian Birkenstocks and just go

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>up there together and hit it. Connecticut, I was mentioning,

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 4>but Connecticut has certain parts that are really beautiful and

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 4>certain parts that are a bit more rough. And I'm thinking, like,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 4>the beautiful parts are really pretty expensive. But there are

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 4>like cities like Hartford, and you know, there are cities

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 4>in Connecticut that could be I mean, it would be

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 4>worth doing a little like trip where you guys go

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 4>to like hang out in some cities in Connecticut. Go

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 4>to Stamford, go to Hartford. Or you don't want to

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 4>go to Boston, right because you're from mass.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we're not big city people.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Okay, So I would say go to Portland first

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 4>and see what the vibe is there. If you guys

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 4>like that, go for a weekend and see how you

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 4>like it.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>What kind of stuff do you guys like to do?

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you hikers? What are you doing fun time?

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I'm more of like outdoorsy kind of stuff.

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean, but we both like doing the crafty set

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 5>of things too, like the pottery, the wine, sip and

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 5>paint nights, those kinds of things and lives.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Always been a big skier, but I've never skied in

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>my life, Chelsea, you believe it or not, but we

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 3>want to get into snowboarding.

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Actually, so what about Vermont?

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been to Vermont, like as an adult.

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>Vermont's pretty cool. I don't know where. I haven't been

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 4>with Vermont in so many years. I'm just trying to

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 4>think of, like what the main cities there are Montpelier,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 4>but Vermont is cool. And but once you're on the

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 4>East Coast, then you can have access to those ski places.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's Camelback, there's a Bunch, there's you know

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 4>in Connecticut, there's Stowe, there's Killington, So you could have

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 4>access to all those places once you're in that area.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 4>And then there's a there's a Rhode Island, there's Providence,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 4>there's Provincetown that's super gay that's fun. I mean, I've

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 4>been there bunch of times and that's a blast. And Providence,

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Rhode Island is awesome. Yeah, I don't know what the

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 4>cost of living is there, Like if it's expensive, I

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 4>probably seemingly, but I'm sure you know there's areas in

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 4>all of these places that kind of go across the

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 4>board from more affordable to less affordable.

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>And if you do decide to venture away from the

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Seaboard, I will say Chicago is an amazing city

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 2>to be young and gay in.

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>It is a great place.

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>You can head up to Andersonville, which is like a

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of cities have like a boys town, but that's

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>where all the lesbians live.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Like that's funny. Yeah, all the boys town. There are

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:35.239
<v Speaker 1>lots of lesbians.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot of cities have a spot for urbans.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, at least gay men are allowing gay women to

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 4>take over versus straight men allowing straight women to take over.

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>And then I would also say go to the other Portland,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Like check out Portland, Oregon. It's fantastic. There's lots of

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>outdoorsy stuff but also lots of creative people. But I

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 2>love your idea, Chelsea of like go for a weekend,

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Like do a three day weekend in a bunch of

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 2>different cities, get an airba and be walk around.

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 4>And make sure you incorporate all the things you love,

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, like make sure you incorporate the outdoors, the aspects,

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 4>and like the crafting aspects. Do your research before you

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 4>go so that you can get all that stuff in,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Like make sure you're going to the restaurants that you're

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 4>interested in, going to the kind of style of food

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 4>you like to eat, and so that you're experiencing the

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 4>city and don't just stay in one area of that city.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Really really take in the city.

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.560
