0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Catherine, Hi Chelsea, you have a baby with you?

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the baby is in the house.

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I have Bernice on my lap because we have a

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 3>workman in the house, and she I think he hates

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 3>men pretty much. I don't know where she got that from.

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>What a surprise, Like mother, like daughter.

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't hate men. Might not be saying that

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 3>it's affecting my ability to get penetration.

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea loves men in all the senses.

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I do love men.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 4>I do.

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm having actually a very good time with some men.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad about that for you.

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I have a lot of flirtations going on at home

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 3>abroad anyway, Doug is arriving, Casey is driving him up

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>on Thursday he arrives. Doug is so fucking I already

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 3>talked about Doug. I don't want to be one of

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 3>those people who bangs on about my dogs, but he

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 3>is going to be. I'm gonna be really, it's gonna

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 3>ruffle my feathers. Because this means basically, Bernice has an AirTag,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>like an Apple AirTag on her so I can just

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>let her go out and then I go find her.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, when I feel like it's ten minutes later, out, Yeah,

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>because she doesn't go anywhere. She just like peas and

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 3>then looks at the house and then looks at the trees.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 3>But Doug is gonna be a fucking maniac, like he

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>is going and I already get stopped by Bernie's you know,

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>it was so cute. There was like this group of

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>like eight twenty five year old guys renting a house

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>down the street from me, and when I was walking

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>with her, they were like, oh my god, look at

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>that little dog bear and they were and I was like,

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 3>it's so nice when men that age love dogs and

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 3>noticed a dog, like they all stopped and they all

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 3>pet her. I was like, you guys are so cute. Yeah,

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>it was really sweet. But I get so much attention

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>from Bernice. I'm like, oh, Doug is going to be

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 3>a nightmare because everyone's gonna stop us about this guy.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he is too good looking.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>He is gonna have all the energy. And Bernie has

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a personality a bit like a Xanax.

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Like, yeah, she has taken azanax. You probably took one

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 3>of mine. And but also Doug is gonna have to

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 3>because he's a puppy and he's eight months old and

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 3>this is going to be a new house and he's

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna be have driven with Casey. He's been shuffled around

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>a bit, you know, to try to get him up here.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>He's been with my Bell. She's tried to, you know,

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 3>hypnotize him. I'm sure, but he he's going to have

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 3>to go out a lot, and that is not my

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>strong suit taking the dogs out. Like I just at

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 3>some point last season, I just started putting peepats out

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 3>on the balcony and let them just go pee out there.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh my god, I'm like living in a

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 3>trailer park basically. But yeah, I'm really excited about my

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 3>new family. It's just my dream dog. It's arrived. He's

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 3>my baby. I love him. I had a great ski

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>day yesterday. I'm about to go hop off of this

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 3>after we're done and go skiing again. And I am

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 3>just really really and I've been writing my book and

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 3>it's finally coming together. I got so much work done

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 3>with my ski buddy, Kelly. Her daughters are twins and

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Katie and Jesse. They basically move in with me for

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 3>winter when I move up here. They call me Dad.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 3>And Jesse and I had like a work study program

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.839
<v Speaker 3>this weekend and I got more writing done. I wrote

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 3>for six straight hours and organized everything. I think this book.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 3>When I am ready to announce the title and the

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 3>release date of the book, people are going to be

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>really I think this is going to be really something

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>special that is fantastic.

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, Okay, so your writing process are you like, I

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta wait for inspiration. I gotta sit down see if

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the inspiration comes.

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I just have to a lot time and sit

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 3>down and just start writing, because the only way to

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>keep writing is to start writing.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You just have to start.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 3>And then, like I was writing this book, but there

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 3>was like a joyfulness missing in the writing of the book.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 3>The way I lived my life wasn't coming through the page.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 3>And the page is about how to live this joyful

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>experience of life. And so I don't know what happened,

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 3>but something shifted. Actually, I've been working with that new

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>therapist and I think she shifted some stology in me. Yeah,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>because we do these kind of exercises and she's like, Okay,

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get rid of that old stuff, like let's

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 3>move into this new stuff that you want. And yeah,

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 3>so I'm yeah, I feel good. Yeah, you know how

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 3>much I love Whistler. It's just I never want to leave.

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>And you're so restored there, like you you are getting

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>positive vibes and you're able to put out positive vibes.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>But when you're like exhausted, you just won't have anything

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to give, you know.

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, an empty vessel. So anyway, OK, So as

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>a great follow up to last week's episode, we have

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 3>the other half of Sam Jay which is called Yah Yah.

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a follow up from Sam's episode from

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>one of our people who wrote in, and it's pretty

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>juicy Chelsea.

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh oh is it about ya ya?

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, but it is about cheating. And oh someone

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>had written in about her sister's husband was running around

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and had this work bestie that he had spent the

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>night with, but he said they were just friends sort

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of thing. It was a female work bestie. Well Elle

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>wrote in with a follow up. She said, Hi, there,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to provide an update on my sister in law

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and her husband regarding his inappropriate relationship with his coworker.

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I appreciated all your feedback and advice because it definitely

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>validated the way I felt. So update. It all came

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>out a two year affair with the girl plus sex

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>worker and a few other casual one night stands here

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and there, and guess what, My sister in law has

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>yet to leave despite her last straw being broken. He's

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>totally playing the victim, and I don't think understands her

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>need to heal. He's in his own sex therapy and

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>they're indiscernment counseling, And at first we were all very

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>emotional about it, but as of lately, we've learned that

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>she does need to step away on her own and

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>deal with this in her own way. Even if it

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 1>does waste more time for her, She's only going to

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>be ready when she's ready. It sucks, it hurts, but

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it's their experience, even though I'm hoping she finally does

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>gain this self worth to leave. Thanks again, Elle. Okay,

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, wow, so update not great for sister in law.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 3>But now we know therapy. It's so hard for me

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 3>to take that seriously, even though I know it's a

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>real thing. You know, it's just like sex therapy. Really,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 3>you can't keep your fucking dick in your pants. I mean, honestly,

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what's wrong with people. I know, yeh,

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 3>control yourself, I know.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is like sociopath behavior, like I know many

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>of that. Gross. You can't fix that. You can't fix that.

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, anyway, let's move on to Yah Yah. I

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 3>don't think she needs any introduction. You're going to understand

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 3>what I'm talking about when you listen to this interview,

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>because this girl is one hot potato I would like

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 3>to introduce the world to. If you don't know of

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>her yet, you will find out about her at some point.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 3>We spoke about her in her absence when I had

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Sam Jay on the podcast, right, Catherine, we talked about

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 3>her significant other, who is very, very significant. Her name

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 3>is Yaya and she is a fucking she is trouble

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 3>with a capital fucking tea. Okay, and now here she is.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 3>She's sitting across from me. We're in New York City.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to New York City. You live here?

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you? Yes, I do live here.

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.160

<v Speaker 3>Thank you, yah Yah. That's a dig, because that's a

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>dig because she just said, oh, how long you here for?

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 3>It would have been nice to know. And I said

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 3>before we got on air, I'm sitting right across from you,

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 3>so obviously this is you knowing anyway, that is true,

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.560

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 3>was the first time I met you.

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was like three years ago.

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And what stood out with her eyelashes because they

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and her nails are equally there the same length. Her

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 3>eyelashes you could use, as you know, the flippers when

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 3>you go in swimming, like that is true, you could

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>swim with those eyelashes and her nails. So when I

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 3>first met her, I was like, oh, this woman is

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 3>trouble and I should just, you know, watch myself. And

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't wrong. My instincts were right. And then she

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 3>came to Myorca with a whole group. We had like

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>a comedy week in my Orca with Sam and Fortune

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>and Jack's and Jamie Greenberg and a bunch of people,

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>and that was really fun. And then we really bonded

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 3>and you guys were planning on kind of leaving the

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 3>whole time that you were there in case we had

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 3>an out right explain that.

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Please, Well, I mean it is kind of it's kind

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 5>of scary, you going on vacation with people you don't know.

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>So we had it out.

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 5>We had an option to out if we didn't want

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 5>to be there anymore, but we ended up liking you.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 3>But you said scary, you're leaving out the white part.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, right, well it was a group of whites. I mean,

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing wrong with that.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 5>But also it is kind of intimidating when you're the

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 5>only blacks there. You don't know what's gonna happen. So

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know if our lives are going to be

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 5>in danger. And also you kept trying to take me hiking.

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Why the fuck did you keep trying to take me hiking?

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Because it's good exercise. It's not everything that I was suggesting.

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.559
<v Speaker 3>We're activities that were going to enhance enhance your life.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 3>You were even trying to make Sam go hiking with you.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 5>If you recall, yeah, we do together because I wanted

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 5>to do it together.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't gonna go wid out through alone.

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, but I'm in then almost a number, like

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm a safety number. You think I'm gonna be the one.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 5>No, it was like six against two, so it was

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 5>like we had to I had to keep the number.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I had to branch off from the white people. And

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 3>you were also you would have go into the water

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 3>with me at night. You wouldn't get.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Into a I was kind of spooky.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we'll explain that you can't swim at night. That's wild.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Why not.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the ocean and I'm black.

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not getting in a boat with you at night.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 5>That doesn't make sen to me. I'm not doing it that.

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 5>This didn't make That didn't add up.

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 3>But you let Sam get in a boat with me.

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 5>I was very fearful of that and I told her

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 5>not to, but you core host her.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>In to doing that. She she you influenced her all week.

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Oh really, Yeah, okay, okay, this is another Yeah,

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 3>this is another thing I forgot to mention when Sam

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 3>was on. Sam shows up in my Orca and asks

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 3>what drugs I have, And of course I have some,

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>but I was running low because I was on my

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 3>third week in Mayorca, and I had twenty different people

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 3>through my house before this group came.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>So this was the the best group.

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Well, okay, you were a great group. I can't say

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 3>who the best group was. Okay, No, we know who. Okay.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Well everyone thinks they're the best group, and that's fine

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 3>with me. I would never even think about trying to

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 3>be the best group. Okay. But Sam wanted demanded drugs,

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 3>she needed them, and then when I gave her what

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 3>I had, it wasn't Yeah. Yeah, goes, look at you,

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Look at you influencing my boo. You did because she

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 3>got really fucked up. No, I'm a I am a supplier.

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm a hostess. You were Frank Lucas of my Orca.

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 3>That's who you are. You are Frank Lucas my Orca.

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I was being a very good hostess. And every time

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Sam went a little bit off the rails, which is

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 3>almost every day.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, well know, you're a great hostess. Thank you.

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, thank you very much. Yah Yah would look

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 3>at me and try and lay blame on me.

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 5>No, you were great hostess. You were just a pusher,

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 5>but you are a great right.

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I do want people to do drugs. I do like that,

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 3>you know. I just feel like so many people have

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>untapped resources and creativity within them that once they do

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 3>the right drug that they find the right thing. And

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 3>it's not for everybody. You know, drugs are not for everybody.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 3>I want to say that as a medical professional on

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 3>this on this what that's why? Is that funny?

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no, I trust you.

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, as a medical professional on this podcast, I would

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 3>like to say that drugs are not for everyone, but

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 3>they are for me.

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all drugs aren't for me.

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 3>And you don't like, Oh you know what I loved?

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Tell us this story. This is a good drug story.

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Would you mind telling it? The one where you saw

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 3>the video of yourself? Oh wow, we're going Well, we

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 3>don't have to. We can go to a different area

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 3>if you're not comfortable.

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 5>Talking about it with that. No, I just saw myself.

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 5>Me and my friends used to like in our early twenties.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 5>It's a long time ago, so let's put this on

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 5>the record. We would recreationally pop up pill or two.

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 3>So what's the drug called though.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Flex areal? Flexireo was my drug choice.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I thought it was something else. Oh that's like

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 3>a muscle relaxer.

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like flexireal.

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 3>But it was like, yeah, you can't take that and

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 3>go out.

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 5>No, but we were drinking too, and I think some

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 5>of this stuff was opioid based.

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I think flexieral is opioid based.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 5>So like when I saw a video of like, I

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 5>thought I was just chilling and having a good time

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 5>and having fun. But then my friends played a video

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 5>back of me and I was not off at the table,

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 5>and it was just like, that's what that Wasn't you.

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Thought you were crushing it. You were out thinking you

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 3>had a blast. You're like, last night was fun. It like,

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>you need to see a video of yourself if you

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.679
<v Speaker 3>think you were having it. And it was cute.

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 5>So I was just like, I want to look cute

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 5>at all times, so when I did look cute, I

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 5>couldn't do it.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 3>You look really cute right now?

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Shoot later, I want to talk about your relationship with Sam.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Went about it.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so you're from Atlanta, Yes I am. Okay, you

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 3>should be on the Real Housewives of something.

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 5>They tried to get me on the Real house Oh

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 5>my god, they did. Yeah at least was like eons ago,

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 5>and why did you fucking do that?

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have money like that, so I just felt

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>like it would just been too fraudulent.

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Too.

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 5>Fargs like I owned a business. It was just like

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't lucrative, but you would have gotten down to business.

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>With the Yeah, I would have.

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's what the world wants to see,

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 3>because if you were on one of the housewife franchises,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I would watch that fucking show, would you, Yeah, because

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I know what would go down. I saw the video

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 3>stories if Sam Sam Jay's on tour right now? Yeah,

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.920

<v Speaker 3>people out in the audience, screaming and yelling at anybody.

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 3>What was the last incident that happened when you had

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>to remove one of the.

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 5>I didn't remove her, Security removed her. She was being

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 5>a nuisance. She was being loud and belligerent and drunk,

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 5>and I just asked her to be quiet, and she

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 5>didn't want to listen, so she had to get out

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.120

<v Speaker 5>she was like, I can't believe you said that, but

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I had asked her twice. The first time, I was

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 5>very pleasant and I was excuse me, ma'am. Can you

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 5>bring it down a little bit? Like she was on

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 5>her phone, she was watching a basket a baseball game.

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 3>It was just wild. I fucking hate that so much.

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 3>I hate that so much.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 5>It's just rude because she was disturbing the people around her.

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 5>Like literally, when she got kicked out, she was with

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 5>about twenty people. Nobody gave a fuck because they wanted

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 5>her to leave too, but they didn't know how because

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 5>she was ahead of HR, so they felt like their jobs.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the head exactly, ironic. She was the worst.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, okay, So bring us back to your relationship

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 3>with Sam, because you guys have been together for a

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 3>long time. Yeah, and we're gonna be giving relationship advice

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 3>on this show, okay, potentially in this episode. So I

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 3>want you to walk us through the status of your

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 3>relationship over the years, because it's been You've had turbulent

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 3>times and Sam loves when I bring up her cheating,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 3>So we can talk about that, or we could talk

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 3>about just the genesis.

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, what do you want to start with? In the beginning.

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Start at the beginning, because it's a beautiful love story,

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's it gives other people, you know,

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 3>I think other people probably have similar relationships where they

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 3>love someone and then they're not together, and then give

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 3>them hope to come back together.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>That's true. I think our versions are kind of different

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:18.719
<v Speaker 2>from each other.

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 3>No, they're definitely different, because the two of you couldn't

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 3>be more office.

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think our versions of the story is different.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 5>But we met in Atlanta, she says. I met her

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 5>in the club, but I don't remember meeting her because

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 5>our friends knew each other. So on the way home,

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 5>their car broke down in front of my house. So

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 5>I saw them and they looked hot and thirsty because

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 5>they would trying to change a tire. So I just

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 5>asked if they needed help, if they wanted to sit

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 5>inside before the tow truck came.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 3>And that's how its very nice of you, Yaya. It

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>must have been before nine pm when you did that.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Actually it was probably around one am. Oh oh, so so.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 3>It must have been another flips to do and all

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 3>that happens.

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so we eventually went out on a date.

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Did she tell you the first time we went out

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 5>a date, well, the first time I went out a date,

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 5>Sam left her.

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 2>She left her money.

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Apparently she didn't have any money, so I had to

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I left my wallet because I knew I wasn't paying.

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Of course not. I mean, no, no, you're not gonna pay.

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 5>Hello, that's what I thought too, But I ended up

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 5>having to pay because Sam couldn't buy me my slice

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 5>of pizza. Oh, so I had to call my friend like, hey,

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 5>can you go to my house and go get my

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 5>wallet and bring my wallet to me?

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 2>So he was like, aren't you on a date?

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, yeah, bitch, I am on a date,

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 5>but come bring me my wallet. So from that day

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 5>for it, he didn't like Sam at all.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 3>He hated or would.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I, But I loved her. She was so cool.

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 3>But I'm surprised that you were okay with that because

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't seem like something you're down with.

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not.

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 5>But she was so charismatic, she was so funny, she

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 5>was so sweet.

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. She just won me over.

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 3>And then what happened. She fucked me right after the pizza.

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty much.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's like, okay, anyone who's listening that would be like, Oh,

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I had a date who didn't have any money, and

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 3>then the next thing you do is go home to

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 3>fuck that person.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I knew if she was broke, then

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 5>she probably had some good, good moves.

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, because I remember you guys having sex on my terrorists.

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>We did not have.

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 3>We did not.

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 2>We did not.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they did did. They were up every night till

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 3>five am. We were talking and talking and then I yeah,

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 3>and then when y'all, y'all wants it, she needs to

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 3>get it right away, and then she goes.

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>But we did not have. Till you hears, we did

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>not have.

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 5>They had sex in their bedroom. Yeah, you probably the terrorists.

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure I probably would have, but we did not.

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 5>That would have been a good memory, though. But your

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.239
<v Speaker 5>window was like right there, yeah exactly. Can you imagine.

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 3>I would have been like, hey, guys, can keep it down,

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 3>can you keep it down please? Okay, So then you

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 3>guys were together for how like a period of time?

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we were together for a minute, and then I

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 5>did some shady shit.

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>This is this SPAN's like seventeen years, right, Yeah, yeah,

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 3>seventeen there's a relationship.

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so we were young. So at the time Sam

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 5>says we were together. I say we weren't together. We

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 5>were dating other people. But she says that we were exclusive.

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 5>So this is where it gets cloudy. But also this

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 5>was like seventeen sixteen years ago. So I say that

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 5>we were freely dating other people. She says that we

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 5>were committed and I dated someone else and then she

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 5>found out about it, and then so we stopped talking.

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 5>And then I started, well, we were always friends about

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 5>this process, so it was like she really, we really

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 5>didn't stop talking. We just stopped talking in that capacity.

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:20.640
<v Speaker 5>So then she started dating other people.

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 3>But what was that like wasn't that tinged with like

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 3>jealousy and feelings?

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely?

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Because every time she started dating someone that she would

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 5>go out on dates and now we didn't care. But

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 5>then when she would start like repeating the dates, it

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 5>was like, that's a problem. You're going out with the

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 5>same person again. So then I would have to break

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 5>that up. So then it was just a lot of

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 5>back and forth. It was a lot of that you

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 5>break that up. Oh, I would just go see her

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 5>fuck that up. She cut me off completely cold turkey

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 5>because she said I was toxic, and then she ran

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 5>off and got married and blocked me from everything.

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Why did she think you were toxic?

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 5>I was in Atlanta, I was in black Gay Mecca,

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 5>so I was outside.

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Also I had money, so it was It's just

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 2>like I was in a free for all. So it

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:02.640
<v Speaker 2>was fun. I was having fun.

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 5>And there's a lot of pussy, not a lot of

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.680
<v Speaker 5>well no, not a lot of pussy.

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 4>But I was.

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I bet you what about guys? Were you feeling around

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 3>with guys at all? Just no, I'm you've been done

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 3>with men for a long time. Yeah, well yeah I

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 3>was done with men.

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, basically I want I'm done.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So you broke up and then what what drew

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 3>you back together?

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 5>She got married fast forward, like a year or two later,

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.640
<v Speaker 5>after she's been buried for Yeah. We were still friends though,

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 5>but I did not pursue her. She didn't pursue me.

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.680
<v Speaker 5>She was really into her marriage, and so I was like, Okay,

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 5>if this is where you want to go, girl, that's fine.

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 3>But you know, were devastated.

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 5>I was devastated, but I always knew that we were

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 5>going to be together, so I wasn't really pressed.

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.639
<v Speaker 3>You really believe that even though she was married to

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 3>someone else. Yes, because a normal person yah yah when

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.120
<v Speaker 3>that happens when the other person gets married, would be like, oh,

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I guess our relationship is over.

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't think that at all.

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 5>And now that I'm watching this show she put me

0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 5>onto this show what is called scandal. Now that I'm

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 5>watching Scandal, I kind of understand it because I always

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.719
<v Speaker 5>knew it was just like that's my person.

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Like I knew she was being crazy.

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 5>I knew she was being wild, and I also knew

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 5>I was getting my karma back from the food I

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 5>was doing. And also when she wanted to commit and

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 5>settle down, I told her no, who was so like, Okay,

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.239
<v Speaker 5>I get it, but play this out. You know this

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 5>is not gonna work. So I'll let you do this

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 5>and be dumb and then when you're ready, come home.

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 5>And that's what happened. Because she was in New York.

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 5>She ended up doing New York Comedy Festival. And I

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 5>was in New York at the same time doing Victoria's

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 5>Secret Fashion doing Victoria's Secret and New York Fashion Week,

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 5>so we were in New York at the same time.

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 5>So I hit her up and I was like, hey,

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 5>do you want to grab a drink so we could

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 5>see each other and talk because we haven't spoken really

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 5>since she had gotten married. And we met at the

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 5>seller a matter of fact, and I was like in

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 5>twenty and fifteen or twenty fourteen, and we talked at

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 5>the seller and after we talked, I was like.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 2>She coming home. So I knew she was coming home.

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 3>That's cute. That's a cute story. It's a hot mess

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:01.879
<v Speaker 3>of a story.

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh it is. It's like it's Ghetto's Hill. But there's

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ups and down. That's a lot of Yeah,

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 2>but we're we've made it through and now we're engaged.

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and when's the wedding going to because I really

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 3>would like to not miss that.

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 5>because somebody was telling me. I think it was the

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 5>guy he was really really sweet. He was telling me

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.880

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:32.480

<v Speaker 1>So many things. We have a boob related question. And yeah, yeah,

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.320

<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I would agree with that if you have break New

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 2>York tits.

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 3>What are New York tits?

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>You don't remember that from Chappelle?

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:41.160
<v Speaker 3>No, what does that mean?

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 5>He would walk around with the guy and they would stand,

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 5>they would put a sticker on bitches titties and like,

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 5>you got great New York booths.

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't segment. It's funny, but yeah, y'alls are enormous,

0:21:54.160 --> 0:22:00.399
<v Speaker 3>can come on, We're tis, We're prepared to field these questions.

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Amazing. Well, our first question now comes from Alyssa.

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 3>And all of ours are natural? Yes, right, yeah, yeah,

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 3>mine are natural.

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Yours are not natural.

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I showed you them. They are natural. I do

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 3>not have fake tits. You don't know they're real.

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 2>You have really good boobs, like really great boobs.

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I know, thank you. That's why I did not know that. Well,

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 3>that's why I had to say, because I didn't know

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 3>if New York titties meant fake titties. No, oh no,

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 3>they're not fake. I don't have fake tits.

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know, they're like big and perky.

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I have to constantly announce this to the public because

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 3>they look they're so perfect.

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 2>They look fake.

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 3>It is ridiculous that I have these boobs. I mean,

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited about them now. I used to be

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.719
<v Speaker 3>really annoyed by them. Yeah, because they came on when

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.159
<v Speaker 3>I was thirteen. I was a little bit much for

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 3>a thirteen year old, especially when nobody else had little titties.

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:48.680
<v Speaker 3>So I had to like tape them down. And now

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 3>i've you know, now, if I embraced them obviously and

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 3>so as the rest of the world.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 5>If I had boobs like that, I would just wear

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 5>a spaghetti strap all day every day.

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Say your tit's flying around.

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it just takes a lot to hold these up

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>like it's just act right, it does.

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 3>It fucking hurts your back, is what the problem is.

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't like when I get those, like, you know,

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 3>things on my shoulders carved from the bath. Yes that

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 3>means yeah, so it's not always.

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.120
<v Speaker 5>Too much if I take this bra off, is swing low,

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 5>sweet cheeriot? And I just no, ma'am.

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Our first question about boobs comes from Alyssa Dear Chelsea,

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a dilemma about whether to pursue a breast reduction.

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 1>The reasons I want one are my girls make running

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 1>something that's important for my physical and mental health annoying

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>because I have to wear this nasty ass uncomfy sports bra,

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and spontaneous running, like chasing my nieces around, is painful.

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Shopping for tops and dresses is something I avoid because

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm pigeonholed into limited options that fit my boobs but

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>not the rest of me. I just like the attention

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>they draw, and I envy the Itty Bitty Titty Committee

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>for being able to walk around and skippy tops care

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>free while I'm dealing with all sorts of boob tape

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and readjusting back pain. And two women in my life

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 1>have gotten a breast reduction and claim it one of

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 1>the best things they've ever done. Obviously, that's a dramatic claim,

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 1>but who doesn't love drama. The reasons I'm hesitant undergoing

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a technically unnecessary procedure feels unnecessary. I've had other surgeries,

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not afraid, but there's always risk as well

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.439
<v Speaker 1>as precious PTO to consider. I've worked really hard to

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>love my body, and this feels like a type of

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>betrayal toward her, while women with even larger breasts thrive

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and manage to love their beautiful bodies without changing a thing.

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Just get a breast reduction. This is going on and

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 3>on and on. I mean what I know?

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't, but she said she feels like opposing polls

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to pursue something that could make a positive change, or

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to honor her body. And do you think it's possible

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to do both?

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Alissa, get a breast reduction. You're gonna feel better about

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 3>yourself and don't care about honoring your body. Do you

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 3>know how many unnecessary procedures I get? Like, I do

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of elective things that I don't need to do,

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 3>and I'm always happy about it. Same exactly. I know

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 3>you're talking to two people that are pro surgery.

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, cut me up, lay me on the table. I'm

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>all for.

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I came from physical therapy and they had to dream

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 3>my knee a little because there's still some swelling from

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 3>my surgery. And I go, so, how frequently can I

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.640
<v Speaker 3>drain my knee? And they're like, well, you don't ever

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 3>really want to put needles in your knee unless it's

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 3>absolutely necessary. I'm like, no, bitch, I have no problem

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 3>fucking putting needles in my knees all day long if

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna help me ski, I don't give a shit.

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 3>She's like, and I go, what's wide. There's always a

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 3>risk of infection. I'm like, bitch, I don't care about

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 3>that risk. That's what antibiotics are for infection.

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>And you love to take piels cut those tits? Yeah

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you think so?

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, it's just like it's a nicer lifestyle when

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 3>you feel better about your body. It's just nicer.

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. And she's not betraying like she needs to cut

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 5>those tits. I'm cutt my tits.

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Cut them? Are you you are?

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious what your decision making was around that.

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't want big titties.

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 4>E why.

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm sick of it.

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm over it.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.320
<v Speaker 5>And I would like to wear a spaghetti strap, okay,

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:50.679
<v Speaker 5>I would like to go bralas.

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to walk around like Chelsea.

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, and I know last year in Mayorka, a

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of the girls had had reductions and they had

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of like like big still but like perky, and

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 1>they're like, you know, even though they've gotten a little

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>bit bigger since the reduction, they've stayed.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 5>Everybody says they come back. Every time that I know

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 5>that has a breast productions say they come back in some.

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Co Yeah, they do. They do. And so when you

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 3>get a reduction, you have to do more than you

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.360
<v Speaker 3>think you should because they do grow back. So then

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:20.120
<v Speaker 3>you're like, well, then the girls like, why the fuck

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>do I get the reduction? If they're going to grow back, just.

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Go a little smaller than what you Yeah.

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 3>I think when you when you make your body like

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 3>more agreeable to like your whole like practical lifestyle, you

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 3>step into your body even more like, you become more

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 3>like because you're more confident and you feel more secure.

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 3>And it's just a nicer way to go through life

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 3>rather than having some like an onus on.

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.120
<v Speaker 5>Your chest right and insecurity. And also she can run

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:50.160
<v Speaker 5>believe that. God, yeah, look at them. Yes, those look

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 5>fake they yes grassy. And those kitties on surgery pages,

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh my.

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 3>God, I should sell that actor, I should sell them.

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 3>You should want to. Yeah, those are not separate, people

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 3>are nice.

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 5>I can't do that. It would take me too long

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 5>to hoisten them back up. I didn't see it.

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's like having a bra Okay, okay.

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well our next question is slightly more sober.

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Sober What does sober mean?

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, just a little more serious than okay,

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>boot questions, but not too too serious. They're very fun.

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 1>So Sarah and Ethan are here, They say, Dear Chelsea.

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Sarah was the one who originally wrote in so she says,

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Dear Chelsea, my husband is transgender. We got married before

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>his transition, and since then all my friends and family

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>have been supportive and welcomed his authenticity with open arms. However,

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in light of the recent unfortunate political climate, I have

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a few people in my life, my stepsister and brother

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 1>in law, as well as my best friend's husband, who

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>still don't understand the repercussions of voting Republican and how

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that directly affects our life. My husband is very confrontational

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and outspoken, and there have been some heated discussions surrounding

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>this issue, to which my family responds, can we just

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>not talk about politics? When clearly to us this isn't political,

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it's our lives. What do I do with these family

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>members since they can't seem to be reasoned with and

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.880
<v Speaker 1>seemingly continue to vote against my spouse's right to exist.

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Sarah and Ethan.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 8>Ethan, I so excited to meet you guys, you.

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 3>As well, Okay, So yeah, that's so fucking annoying. I mean,

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 3>it is so frustrating when you have family members that

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 3>do not understand. I just don't understand how people communicate

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 3>with their family members when they disagree politically like that,

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 3>because that you're right, it isn't a political issue and

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 3>it shouldn't even be a governmental issue what you do

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 3>with your body. It's so fucking infuriating. But I like

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 3>to cause a lot of stir So my advice, like

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, especially with family and when it's someone you

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>love and that someone they love. Ostensibly, I would just

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 3>put up like I would be like, listen, we're not

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna I mean, I'm of the thinking to just like

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:57.360
<v Speaker 3>shut them down. You're not even going to spend time

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 3>with them until they, you know, come around. Would you

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 3>agree with that?

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was said boundaries.

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 5>If they can't respect you in you and your place

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 5>in your marriage and who you are as a person,

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 5>then they don't need to be around you.

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't need that type of.

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 5>Negativity in your life, Like why even bring that into

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 5>your fold and into your marriage, Like no, yeah, it's really.

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 7>Hard to set the boundary because we are a blended

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 7>family and there has been some I guess some issues

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 7>with our other sister to where we don't have a

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:25.959
<v Speaker 7>relationship anymore.

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 8>The whole family doesn't have a relationship with the sister.

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 8>So it is like why why, oh god, that's a

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 8>whole nother.

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's fine.

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 7>There is with our dad and her that just didn't

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 7>work out and now they don't speak.

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so this would be like the second the second

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 6>one that we asked from the family dynamic.

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>And okay, that's the problem.

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 3>But wait a second. Wait, your family and your dad

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.239
<v Speaker 3>and your sister don't speak, so you didn't ask your

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:55.720
<v Speaker 3>sister they did, right.

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's true the first one. Yes, that's yeah, what

0:29:58.080 --> 0:29:58.560
<v Speaker 6>do you mean.

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:00.960
<v Speaker 3>It didn't work out with your sister, her and your father?

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I need some details, like.

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? That's a little weird. But also

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 2>your sister.

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 5>If you cut them out, your sister, you may rekindle

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 5>that relationship and realize that she's the better person for

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 5>you to be in your life if she respects.

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, we have to hear about the sister. First, you

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 3>give us, just give us like a quick you know

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 3>overview that overview yeaes synopsis.

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 7>They always just kind of butted heads and it came

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 7>to fruition one day and it almost got physical to

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 7>where my dad had to threaten to call the police

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 7>if she didn't back off. So from then on they

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 7>didn't speak and we we the rest of the family

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 7>got cut by her by association, so we didn't cut

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 7>her out.

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 8>She kind of asked.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Everyone, okay, okay, okay, after.

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 6>This under the yeah and this is the this is

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 6>so now what we're dealing with is like the second sister, right, and.

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 3>We're perfect timing then so that they can get a

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 3>clue that they're the fucking problem.

0:30:57.160 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I tend I tend to go. I've learned a

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 6>lot that like, not all conflict is bad, especially recently,

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 6>and that there's a lot of like self protection that

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 6>maybe could be and should be done. So this my

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 6>approach has been like I don't I don't need to

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't need to talk to them. It's such a

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 6>complicated relationship with in laws, right and with families.

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 3>And I know, but it's like a it's like a

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 3>direct lack of respect for your for you and your safety. Yeah,

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 3>that's it. That's the only sentence you need to know. Like,

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 3>they are not respecting that your safety is threatened by

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Republican lawmakers, and like and as long and if they

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 3>don't care about your safety, then what the hell are

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 3>you doing spending time with them?

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>That's well said.

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 7>I want to do everything possible to avoid I think,

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 7>losing this relationship because it is the only sibling that

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 7>I have left. So is there anything that you would like?

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 7>I know you're a huge proponent of writing an email

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 7>in a letter.

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well wait, so you want to salvage the relationship

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 3>with your sister, not your parents, the second sister.

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 5>So also, the parents aren't the problem is this second system?

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 8>Oh no, no, my parents are.

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's the other sister.

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh no, Well she wants to salvage it. Yeah, yeah,

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 3>because she lost her other sister. I think you know what, Yes,

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I am a big fan of an email, and I

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 3>think you can lay it out to your other sisters.

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 3>So she's the Republican the other sister. Yes, okay, so

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 3>that's problematic. Yes? And does she mar is she married to.

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 8>Someone who's also of the same mind as she well.

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Of course, of course, so they go together one is it.

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:30.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, Republican women are usually there because their husband's

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 3>told them to be right. But I think that you

0:32:33.400 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 3>can write her a letter and express like, I really

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 3>don't want our relationship to devolve in the same way

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 3>that your your relationship has devolved with your other sister, right,

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:44.239
<v Speaker 3>because then she's going to lose two of you. And

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 3>lay it out in the most human, most humane way,

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 3>like we are talking about the safety and protection of

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 3>the person that I am married to, and you were

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 3>talking about voting for someone who is never ever going

0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 3>to protect their rights, my husband's rights. So that's very,

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 3>very hard pill for me to swallow. I would love

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 3>for us to be able to like figure this out,

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 3>but it's starting to feel like, you know, I'm going

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 3>to lose another sister, and you got to meet me

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 3>somewhere in the middle there.

0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know you can make somebody vote for a Democrat, you.

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Know, but like nobody even if not, they can respect

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 5>them and not mention it in their presence. And if

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 5>they can't even do that, then I think that you

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 5>just have to protect yourself. And I feel like you

0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 5>should also try to reach out to your sister to

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 5>cut you off and try to rekindle that relationship. I

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 5>do too, So then you won't even if you lose

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 5>out on the other sister, you still got the good one.

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Is that good is she? Is she a good one?

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 3>The sister that got in a fight with your father

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 3>or what she is?

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 8>It's questionable. It's worth looking in.

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 6>It is worth It is worth not you know, locking shut.

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 3>No, And it's not good to lock shut anyway, because

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.400
<v Speaker 3>you know what that is, your sister. Everyone goes through

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 3>difficult times in their lives, and people get better and

0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 3>people recover. Not everybody, but a lot of people. Do

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I know, I've learned and grown and changed throughout my life.

0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you feel the same way. Yeah, yeah, And

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 3>like you know, mistakes you make necessarily you wouldn't necessarily

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 3>repeat in the future. And so it's worth just checking

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 3>in with her and like just reinforcing the fact that

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.800
<v Speaker 3>she's your sister, you love her, you will always be sisters,

0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 3>and if she ever wants to reach out, and she

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.279
<v Speaker 3>ever wants to talk, you're always there for her. There's

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 3>nothing wrong with putting that out into the universe. That's

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:26.240
<v Speaker 3>good vibes and that's good energy. And if she comes back, great,

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 3>and you might catch her when she is ready to

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 3>talk to you. And maybe she's not ready to go

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 3>and be around your parents, But that doesn't mean you

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 3>can't have a relationship with her, right.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 8>That's kind of how I've always felt about that.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.120
<v Speaker 7>I think I just maybe need to remind her that

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 7>I'm of that stance, because I think it all gets

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 7>lost when there's drama.

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course, and people do things in the heat

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 3>of the moment that you know they wouldn't do ten

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 3>years later, or five years later, even six months later.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people change.

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Can I ask, does it bother you their political affiliation

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 5>or does it bother you that they're vocal about it

0:34:58.440 --> 0:34:59.240
<v Speaker 5>in your presence?

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 8>So they're not really vocal about it in our presence.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 6>They actually refuse, they refuse to talk to talk about it.

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 6>And I think it's because logically, I mean, I'm a

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:12.760
<v Speaker 6>pretty good talker, so they're not gonna.

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 2>So they're never disrespectful to you in your presence.

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:18.960
<v Speaker 6>No, No, I mean they've asked silly questions like in moments,

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 6>but like they're learning social media, it's their social media presence.

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:27.359
<v Speaker 5>And oh okay, well maybe if you continue to educate them,

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 5>because if people don't know, sometimes they're just ignorant.

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 2>So maybe if you continue to, you know, just talk.

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 5>To them and educate them on who you are, your story,

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 5>your plight, and the things that go on with you. You

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 5>don't know that you may change your perspective. So you

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:41.760
<v Speaker 5>may not even have to cut her off.

0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>To Yeah, and I don't know if you've got a

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 1>chance to tell us to our Skylar Baylor episode. But

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 1>his book They Ha Yes has some really really good

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:54.760
<v Speaker 1>methods for communicating with loved ones, and especially like asking

0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>questions at these moments that could get very confrontational and

0:35:57.719 --> 0:35:59.920
<v Speaker 1>say look, well here's what I think, here's what you think,

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 1>where people automatically go in this defensive mode. He's got

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:06.279
<v Speaker 1>some good tricks in there for like asking questions like

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:08.280
<v Speaker 1>why do you think that? And so I would definitely

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 1>recommend maybe if you haven't already read it, read it.

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 6>No, I need It's on my list, but I need

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 6>to get I need to get to it.

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 7>He's a little bit more of a hostile negotiator. Yeah,

0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:20.719
<v Speaker 7>I'm a little level headed, So that's for you.

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Ethan yeah. Yeah. I mean I'm assuming your sister and

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 3>her husband have like heard how difficult and like arduous

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the process of transitioning is, right, that everything that you

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 3>have been through, because I find that when people hear that,

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 3>it reduces their ability to argue. When people realize that

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.839
<v Speaker 3>it's not some like whimsical thing that you just do

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and go and like, you know, get surgery to change

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 3>your youth. There's multiple psychological assessments that have to happen.

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 3>You can't just go in and get a penis. Like,

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 3>it's not like, oh, I'm going to a fair and

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:53.839
<v Speaker 3>I think I want to wear a costume. I mean,

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 3>that's why I find Republicans don't understand like the actual

0:36:58.239 --> 0:36:59.760
<v Speaker 3>background of what has to happen.

0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, there's a lot of false information out there, and

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:05.400
<v Speaker 7>I think we have started to share some of that information.

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 7>It's just trying to get them to the point of

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 7>being receptive and like sitting down and listening and instead

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:14.000
<v Speaker 7>of shutting down or saying I don't want to talk

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 7>about politics. You know, that's their that's their pretty immediate response.

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 7>So it's just getting them to a place where they

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 7>realize it's not political and it shouldn't be political.

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 3>It's not politics. You being a transgender is not political.

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 3>They're the only party in the country in the world

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that is making it political. Well, not in the world.

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 3>There are other countries that are also politicizing it. But

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, No, no Democrat has a

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 3>problem with that. So it's like, why would you actively

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 3>be going after people who are not bothering anybody else.

0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 8>It's a great question.

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 3>What would make you satisfied? Like they have to switch parties?

0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:49.239
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, probably, that's how I would force just don't even vote.

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, if you yeah, if you can't vote for the

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 6>Democratic Democratic candidate, just don't don't vote Republican. I think

0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 6>it's I think it's like it's this feeling of someone

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 6>telling you, I sure, I see you, I'm fine with you,

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 6>but then their actions that they're taking outside of that

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:10.960
<v Speaker 6>moment are are a direct contradiction and and so I'm yeah,

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 6>that's what's hurtful, is I I want to be like, Okay,

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 6>you can say whatever you want, but if you are

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:20.040
<v Speaker 6>actively voting against my rights as an equal human being,

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 6>I just don't believe you.

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would have a problem with that too. I'm

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 3>with you, but I do think you should reach out

0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:28.279
<v Speaker 3>to the other sister and then do and I think

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.439
<v Speaker 3>you should email your other sister and you know, work

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:32.959
<v Speaker 3>both of those things at the same time.

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Or you could just send her this podcast.

0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 8>I know I thought about that. I could like this episode.

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 8>I'd be pretty eye opening.

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:41.320
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that's actually a good idea too.

0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:43.719
<v Speaker 6>Because I'm sure they don't know the turmoil or like

0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 6>the difficulty we have on our end.

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh so you I've never discussed You've never spoke about it.

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 6>I've tried, and the response is we don't talk about that.

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 8>It just gets shut down real fast.

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 3>So that's something you should mention in the letter. Just

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 3>go imagine trying to share yourself with like this is

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 3>my husband. Imagine trying to share your husband wants to

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 3>share any of his personal belief systems or history or

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 3>anything like that, and not being willing to sit and

0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 3>listen to it is very obstinate. You're not compromising. That's

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.759
<v Speaker 3>like I'm set in my narrow minded way and the

0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:16.759
<v Speaker 3>only vision I see is the only one that there is,

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:21.280
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, that is problematic. To actually evolve and grow,

0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 3>like that's the whole point of being alive is to

0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 3>change and evolve, you know, and learn and have your

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 3>opinions challenged.

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:29.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I agree.

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 7>I think expressing that one of our biggest desires is

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 7>just to be heard and then actually, like you said,

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:39.000
<v Speaker 7>possibly playing her in this episode because I don't think

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 7>she also knows how much it does weigh on us,

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 7>just this topic of the our relationship.

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:48.040
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well that's good. Let us know,

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 3>keep us posted and let us know how it goes.

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 3>I will, all right, you guys, take care. I have

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 3>a great day, A good afternoon.

0:39:54.239 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Bye bye, Alex says dear Chelsea. I'm in an emotionally

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:08.880
<v Speaker 1>distant marriage and questioning my sexuality. I'm a thirty eight

0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:10.960
<v Speaker 1>year old woman married to a man for nine years,

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 1>together for eleven. We have a five year old son together.

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Over the course of the pandemic, I was at home

0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>with our son and my husband worked a lot of overtime.

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>He's a first responder and felt responsibility to help. We'd

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>both stopped focusing on our relationships since our son was born,

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and the pandemic served to magnify that. We've also both

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.839
<v Speaker 1>dealt with some depression at times since then. I've been

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 1>bothered by our diminished connection, both emotional and physical. He

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.239
<v Speaker 1>agrees there's a lack of connection, but does nothing about it.

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to skip forward a little bit. They've done

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of therapy, but she sort of still

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 1>feels like she's the only one who's doing anything. We've

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of love for each other, but at

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this point, I'm wondering if I'm nearing my limit. Another

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.360
<v Speaker 1>layer to all of this. After years of counseling on

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>my own, I've come to accept about myself that I'm

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>attracted to women. At the time of writing this, my

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 1>husband is not aware. It's increasingly on my mind, and

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm endlessly curious about being physical with another woman. Since

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking for a more emotionally open relationship with him,

0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:10.839
<v Speaker 1>do I owe him that information, especially if I feel

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>like it's holding me back from being completely myself with him.

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Our sex life is virtually non existent at this point,

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.520
<v Speaker 1>yet another topic we don't talk about unless I bring

0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it up. Initially, I thought working on our connection and

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 1>therapy would help me feel romantic toward him again and

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the attraction to women would fade. But that doesn't seem

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 1>to be happening. How to proceed Alex mm.

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, what do you think I think she needs

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 5>to bring that bitch in the bedroom. I think if

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 5>she popped up puss in the bedroom, they marriage may spice.

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It up a little bit.

0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 3>She wants him to thrutle up. That might not be

0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:47.280
<v Speaker 3>a bad idea.

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Actually, I think that then it'll bring It'll add some spice.

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 5>He'll probably be more engaged. But she has to be

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:55.319
<v Speaker 5>honest with her feelings, Like she's like, oh, I don't

0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:56.920
<v Speaker 5>want to tell him, but she has to be honest

0:41:56.920 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 5>and disclosed that she has an attraction to women, and

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 5>then he may be like, Okay, bring that bitchit.

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah. Or if she was going to say, explore

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 3>her feelings for a woman without her husband, and that's cheating, Okay,

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 3>so she can't do that.

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 2>No, that's cheating.

0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 3>That's so do you think she should give her a

0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.760
<v Speaker 3>husband the heads up that she's having a feelings for women.

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she has to be honest about that, m M.

0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:21.279
<v Speaker 5>Because I mean, if that's where she wants to go,

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 5>then he has the right to know that. Yeah, he

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:25.279
<v Speaker 5>has the right to know that, regardless if they stay

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 5>together and not. You know, he has the right to

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 5>before she steps. She can't just search to be like

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 5>I think, I like, bit, just let me go chat it.

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 5>So she that's cheating, that's dishonest. So she needs to

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 5>be honest with her husband, especially if that's her life

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 5>partner then she chose and they have a kid together.

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.840
<v Speaker 3>M h yeah, I would say that the first. The

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 3>first what's going to happen is you're going to tell

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 3>your husband that you did that, that you're feeling this

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 3>way about women. He's going to say, let's bring someone

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.720
<v Speaker 3>into the bedroom. You're going to do that. You're gonna

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:54.319
<v Speaker 3>like that, and that'll happen for a few times or

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, maybe months or whatever, and you'll enjoy that,

0:42:57.280 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 3>and then you're gonna want to just be with women

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 3>and not be with your husband.

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Ya think you'll be cowes.

0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.840
<v Speaker 3>That's what fucking happens. I mean, I think it's very

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.319
<v Speaker 3>common for women who have been married for a long

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:13.280
<v Speaker 3>time to start thinking about being not heterosexual.

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 2>You think so.

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's hats trending. A lot of women are

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 3>turning towards the pussy.

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:21.320
<v Speaker 1>A lot, I mean, and with good reason.

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, men are pretty you know, they can

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:26.920
<v Speaker 3>be pretty disappointing and they're not all disappointing. I'm not

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:29.319
<v Speaker 3>saying that because there are a lot of men. I

0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 3>went out on date with a guy last night that

0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 3>was adorable and sweet and just you know, nice and

0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:37.560
<v Speaker 3>totally fuckable, and he was a nice guy. But I'm

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't want to spend that amount of time with anybody.

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.319
<v Speaker 3>And I think when you're with a straight guy, like,

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, the sheine wears off pretty quickly unless you're

0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:49.319
<v Speaker 3>communicating and you know, and men seem to, like, I

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know, there seems to be this thing with women

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 3>when they're married to a man for over ten years,

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:56.880
<v Speaker 3>especially when they have kids, like then you're fucked mostly,

0:43:57.440 --> 0:43:59.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, not everybody. I mean, there are happy marriages

0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:01.480
<v Speaker 3>which children, but a lot of people, a lot of

0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:04.280
<v Speaker 3>the happiest marriages are people who don't have children together

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 3>or they're on their second marriage and they've had children

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.839
<v Speaker 3>with someone else then, and they can have that. But

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I think that there's a like men stop emotionally growing,

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 3>or maybe they get stunted, or they're stunted to begin with,

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 3>and maybe maybe women don't catch it in the beginning

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 3>because they're so in love and then ten years go by.

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:22.880
<v Speaker 3>And you're like, well, wait, this isn't fulfilling enough because

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:27.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm emotionally attuned and in tune with myself. So yeah,

0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it's very common, but I think the writing's

0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 3>on the wall of what's about to happen here. So

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:33.840
<v Speaker 3>I would say, yeah, go get some pussy girl and

0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:35.960
<v Speaker 3>bring it to the bedroom. Yeah, and then but.

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 5>If you want to be mostly attached to a woman,

0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.279
<v Speaker 5>she needs to know it ain't that much better over here.

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Really, Oh come on, Like I love like I'm.

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 5>In love with her, but also like if she's because

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:47.480
<v Speaker 5>the first woman she's going to be with, she's going

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.800
<v Speaker 5>to be in love with them, and she's going to

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 5>get her heart broken, she's going to feel like that,

0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:54.319
<v Speaker 5>Like she just needs to prepare herself. Like everybody thinks

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:56.200
<v Speaker 5>the grass is always greener on the other side. That's

0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.280
<v Speaker 5>all I'm saying, is just not always true.

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, but you're not are you not emotionally attached? You're

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 3>emotionally attached?

0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:04.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying, well, like if she's

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.040
<v Speaker 5>been with this man for ten years and she's like, oh,

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 5>he's not giving me what I want, She's gonna be

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:10.880
<v Speaker 5>with a bitch the first couple. She's gonna have to

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 5>eat a few pussies before she found one it fits,

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:13.839
<v Speaker 5>so she's good.

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:15.839
<v Speaker 2>They're not gonna be emotionally attached to her.

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Either, so she may think that it's just gonna be

0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 5>so great and they're gonna be emostly attached and they're

0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 5>just gonna instantly connect. And it's not like that she

0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 5>has to find her person. It's not necessarily wrapped up in.

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Whether it's a matter or Yes, I agree with that.

0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that, like, yeah, maybe it is a

0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:32.080
<v Speaker 3>man or a woman because it's you're just not fulfilled

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.800
<v Speaker 3>in the relationship you're but either way everything you should

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 3>get some pussies.

0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, tell your man and then bring her home.

0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:41.280
<v Speaker 3>This episode's gonna be called pussy pounding.

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I will say she didn't want to call in, but

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to her aunt. She's very sweet and has

0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 1>big softball energy.

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh really, yeah, I think. Listen, I have a lot

0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 3>of friends that I think are gay that are in

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:55.680
<v Speaker 3>heterosexual relationships.

0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, yeah, not a lot, but I'm certain I will.

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I will, Yeah, I will, but not on the podcast,

0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:03.320
<v Speaker 3>because I'm sure they all are listening.

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:05.799
<v Speaker 1>My peters to them.

0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:07.960
<v Speaker 2>So you think if she brings a woman in, they

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 2>would be a feminine woman.

0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I just

0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:15.120
<v Speaker 1>know like my gatar for sure went off when I

0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:16.279
<v Speaker 1>got on the phone with her.

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, Okay, she may bring you a girl.

0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it now, I know there's a whole location.

0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Castine and Brad is exactly what the doctor orders.

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>That's true. My husband is also the engineer on this podcast.

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 2>But sorry, no, it's okay.

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 1>He knows I'm queer. It's fine. But yeah, so I

0:46:35.760 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>think Alex right, and we've have had a conversation with

0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:41.200
<v Speaker 1>your husband and like, let us know how it goes,

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:43.439
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a little further on down the line when

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you know you have a girlfriend, et cetera.

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, make some changes though. You got to like

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 3>actively pursue what you're looking for to see if that's

0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:54.120
<v Speaker 3>what you really want. And I bet your husband will

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 3>be open to it, is that you do. I would

0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:01.320
<v Speaker 3>probably just I don't know. I don't know. I wouldn't

0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:03.360
<v Speaker 3>be in this position because I probably wouldn't get married

0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:06.640
<v Speaker 3>to anyone. You know, so I wouldn't, but I wouldn't.

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:07.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:10.480
<v Speaker 5>Do you think you would wait ten years, she said

0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 5>they would again eleven.

0:47:11.480 --> 0:47:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, yes, yeah, married for nine Keep in mind, you

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:15.080
<v Speaker 1>have a kid.

0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you think you would wait eleven years to stay

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 2>in No?

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:22.320
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I wouldn't even if you had the kid. No, no,

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:23.520
<v Speaker 3>not as me as me.

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, no as Alex.

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know what Alex is like. I mean,

0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:29.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 3>there's any reason to be unhappy. There's too much going

0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 3>on in the world that makes people unhappy. There's too

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:36.799
<v Speaker 3>many upsetting things. You have to take responsibility for your

0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 3>personal life and make sure that you are serving yourself

0:47:39.719 --> 0:47:41.880
<v Speaker 3>up with the things that make you happy. And you

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:45.799
<v Speaker 3>have to make an intention to actively be happy in

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:48.280
<v Speaker 3>the world we're living in, and that is not adding

0:47:48.320 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 3>to your happiness. So I think you need to make

0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 3>a change.

0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:54.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree with Toilphy.

0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, we have our last caller and she.

0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Just how do you think you're doing so far? Yeah, y'ah,

0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't really know. Okay, I would give you an

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a yeah, yeah, I mean you're listening. Could be a

0:48:08.480 --> 0:48:12.000
<v Speaker 3>little sharper, but I think the advice is good. Yeah,

0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I missed a couple of things.

0:48:13.040 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 7>There.

0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:16.240
<v Speaker 3>But that's okay, that's sorry. It's your first time. It's okay,

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:17.479
<v Speaker 3>it's your first time on the slide.

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:19.800
<v Speaker 5>I'll have you know by the way, ya y'all. First,

0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:20.920
<v Speaker 5>I dis my first wake up.

0:48:20.920 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, y'all wakes up twice every morning. Tell them

0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:24.440
<v Speaker 3>your schedule when you wake up.

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 5>My first wake up is between nine and eleven, and

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:32.359
<v Speaker 5>my second wake up is between one and two. So

0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 5>I came on my first wake up. Actually I came

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:36.879
<v Speaker 5>prior to my first wake up. So that's why I'm

0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 5>not as sharp.

0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:40.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm drinking water. I don't even have coffee.

0:48:40.160 --> 0:48:42.919
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So why why do you when you wake up

0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:45.560
<v Speaker 3>the first time? Then what happens? You go back to bed?

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I go back to sleep. So you wake up

0:48:47.360 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 2>for what? How long I wake up? It depends. I

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:52.320
<v Speaker 2>wake up, I do my morning stuff.

0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.279
<v Speaker 5>I wake up, I piss, get Sam some water, check

0:48:55.320 --> 0:48:58.600
<v Speaker 5>on her, and then I laid back down, go to bed. Well,

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:01.000
<v Speaker 5>I'll scoll through my phone for a little bit it.

0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So you're not really going out or doing anything

0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:03.680
<v Speaker 3>you're first week.

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.319
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm still in I'm still on the first floor.

0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:08.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm still on the on the third floor. I'm not

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 5>leaving the third fel Okay, So then you go back

0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:12.279
<v Speaker 5>to sleep and you wake up the second time, and

0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 5>that's that's what my day starts. That's my day'st.

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I've never met anybody who wakes up twice. You know

0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.120
<v Speaker 3>what I sometimes do if I'm hungover or if I've

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:25.319
<v Speaker 3>had a big night, I like to wake up, heat

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 3>up something that's yummy, or get it egg McMuffin from

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:30.839
<v Speaker 3>McDonald's like something like that. Ideally, although I'm not going

0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:32.960
<v Speaker 3>to leave the house, take a half a xanax and

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:36.280
<v Speaker 3>go back to sleep on a full stomach. That's the happiest.

0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 2>The xanax doesn't make you wake up.

0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:39.799
<v Speaker 3>No, the xanax as sleep as for me, it's like

0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:43.120
<v Speaker 3>a sleeping pill. Okay, okay, it's not an upper Oh

0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:44.160
<v Speaker 3>it's not. I've never had it.

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 3>It's for anxiety. But if you don't have anxiety, it's okay.

0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, you probably shouldn't take it or you'd

0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:50.680
<v Speaker 1>be like falling asleep at the club. Like.

0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:52.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we don't want to promote xanax or any sort

0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 3>of benzodiazepines on these shows. They're addictive and are known

0:49:55.680 --> 0:49:58.919
<v Speaker 3>to cause you know whatever, dementia. But I'm doing enough

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 3>things to combat the demention from the xanax I'm taking.

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing enough things to offset that.

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:03.360
<v Speaker 1>That's smart.

0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So whatever you deplete your body from, you got to

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:06.640
<v Speaker 3>add it back in. And I know you do.

0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 5>I know you know the right formula. Told you a pusher.

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:10.840
<v Speaker 5>I know the right formula.

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, Nicole says. I recently embarked on a nearly four

0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:18.560
<v Speaker 1>month cross country road trip earlier this year to explore

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:21.280
<v Speaker 1>some new places to live. I own a remote business,

0:50:21.280 --> 0:50:23.919
<v Speaker 1>so I was able to work while traveling. Not only

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.880
<v Speaker 1>did I discover two wonderful options for relocating, but I

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:29.799
<v Speaker 1>also met my current partner while traveling, and I'm now

0:50:29.840 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in a committed long distance relationship with him.

0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh look at you.

0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:36.600
<v Speaker 1>It's going really well. But long distance is hard. I

0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>did end up moving a few weeks ago to a

0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 1>city that's a five hour flight from him. My question

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:43.400
<v Speaker 1>for you is, how do I know I made the

0:50:43.440 --> 0:50:45.920
<v Speaker 1>right choice. The city I moved to has a remote

0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 1>worker incentive program with professional mentorship programs for entrepreneurs and

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:52.279
<v Speaker 1>a nice chunk of change they pay me to live here.

0:50:52.600 --> 0:50:54.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's in a red state and doesn't tick some

0:50:54.719 --> 0:50:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of my boxes, and the other city has all the

0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:00.480
<v Speaker 1>amenities and culture. I want not to mention it's driving

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:03.200
<v Speaker 1>distance from my new partner, but it's really expensive and

0:51:03.239 --> 0:51:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I know I'd struggle to afford living there. Do I

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:08.160
<v Speaker 1>choose to focus on my career and set myself up

0:51:08.200 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 1>for future success or do I choose to be close

0:51:10.560 --> 0:51:12.480
<v Speaker 1>to my partner in a city that has everything I'm

0:51:12.520 --> 0:51:14.520
<v Speaker 1>looking for but has a hefty price tag.

0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Nicole mm oh hei Nikol, How are you hi?

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 7>Hi?

0:51:22.200 --> 0:51:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Why can't your husband come to you? I mean, you're sorry,

0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:28.359
<v Speaker 3>you're soon to be husband. You're a boyfriend. Why can't

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:28.920
<v Speaker 3>he come to you?

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, we've been dating for six months and we have

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:36.160
<v Speaker 4>talked about it. He has offered. He's a journalist, so

0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:40.600
<v Speaker 4>he can pretty much work from any newspaper. It's just

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:42.600
<v Speaker 4>a matter of actually making the move.

0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:45.000
<v Speaker 3>So right now, it's a five hour drive to visit him.

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:48.759
<v Speaker 4>No, he lives in Oregon and I live in Oklahoma.

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so that's a long distance relationship and you.

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:56.200
<v Speaker 5>Just recently moved to Oklahoma, right, Yeah, Okay, so if

0:51:56.239 --> 0:51:58.399
<v Speaker 5>you just moved, then he needs to make the next move.

0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:00.719
<v Speaker 4>Yea.

0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:04.239
<v Speaker 3>Yah's very tit for tat. It's a scoreboard with her.

0:52:04.920 --> 0:52:06.960
<v Speaker 3>It's like, bitch, you did this, and now I do this.

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:09.279
<v Speaker 5>She's already moved to be close a little closer, so

0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:10.560
<v Speaker 5>why can't they compromise?

0:52:10.600 --> 0:52:11.640
<v Speaker 2>And he moved closer to her.

0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:14.239
<v Speaker 3>Listen, it's not fun Oklahoma City. But I would say, like,

0:52:14.280 --> 0:52:16.279
<v Speaker 3>the good thing about living in a red state is

0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:18.839
<v Speaker 3>that you can have the ability to, like I don't know,

0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:21.359
<v Speaker 3>I always feel like you can change people's minds when

0:52:21.400 --> 0:52:24.040
<v Speaker 3>you're living in that kind of culture, and like it's

0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:27.400
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity for you to like demonstrate your goodwill and

0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:31.000
<v Speaker 3>like your political beliefs and your value system, and it's

0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:33.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of like a nice way to infect all those

0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:36.280
<v Speaker 3>other red people, you know what I mean, with kindness

0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:39.320
<v Speaker 3>and inject them with kindness and fairness and your beliefs

0:52:39.320 --> 0:52:42.239
<v Speaker 3>on equality and all of that. I know how tough

0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:44.360
<v Speaker 3>it must be to probably be with like lacking that

0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of culture. But I would say, you know, you

0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:49.239
<v Speaker 3>just made this move, like give yourself an amount of time,

0:52:49.320 --> 0:52:51.960
<v Speaker 3>and if you're still dissatisfied in like, say it's six

0:52:52.040 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 3>months or it's a year, then you can reassess and

0:52:54.600 --> 0:52:56.359
<v Speaker 3>figure out if I would say your career is more

0:52:56.400 --> 0:52:58.759
<v Speaker 3>important than your relationship at this point, I would say

0:52:58.760 --> 0:53:00.920
<v Speaker 3>that to anyone at any point in the lives. And

0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:02.880
<v Speaker 3>then you know, if you guys are still together in

0:53:02.920 --> 0:53:04.880
<v Speaker 3>six months and you're still hot and heavy, or in

0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 3>a year, whatever your time frame, then you can reassess

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:10.480
<v Speaker 3>and say maybe, okay, maybe now I'm gonna move closer

0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:12.360
<v Speaker 3>to him, or he moves closer to you, but he

0:53:12.400 --> 0:53:14.319
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't have to move to Oklahoma fucking city.

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's like, that's like not fair.

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying I was just trying to give a balance.

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Since she just moved, do you.

0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Feel comfortable giving yourself six months or a year?

0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:27.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I moved in September, and I told

0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 4>myself I'd give myself until March to like evaluate.

0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.

0:53:31.800 --> 0:53:36.280
<v Speaker 4>So far, like it's just started to benefit my career

0:53:36.320 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 4>to be here. Like I moved to Tulsa because they

0:53:38.160 --> 0:53:39.840
<v Speaker 4>have a remote worker incentive program.

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Tulsa is cool.

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is cool. I like it so far.

0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:44.560
<v Speaker 3>I have culture there.

0:53:45.280 --> 0:53:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm into it. It's it's different than New Jersey,

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:49.359
<v Speaker 4>like you were saying.

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's different than New Jersey and it's good

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 3>to get a taste of that. So yeah, so you're

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:53.760
<v Speaker 3>gonna give yourself till March.

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and then you know, reevaluate. I know that he

0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:01.240
<v Speaker 4>is not so sad a with where he lives.

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:04.600
<v Speaker 3>So well, maybe you guys can find a new city together.

0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:07.720
<v Speaker 3>If you guys are still together in six months, maybe

0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 3>you guys can like figure out, like, let's start a

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:12.480
<v Speaker 3>life together. Let's pick a city where that's gonna suit

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 3>both of your needs. And that's an adventure too. I

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.240
<v Speaker 3>would just look at Oklahoma City as not your permanent

0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:21.320
<v Speaker 3>place of living. I would just say, sorry, Tilsa, I

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.719
<v Speaker 3>think you should enjoy your time there, soak it up,

0:54:23.880 --> 0:54:26.200
<v Speaker 3>meet as many people as you can, try to change

0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 3>as many minds as you can, and then and just

0:54:29.520 --> 0:54:31.400
<v Speaker 3>think of it as a temporary part of your life.

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:35.279
<v Speaker 3>How old are you thirty? Yeah? Oh yeah, what of

0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:37.600
<v Speaker 3>course you could spend three years there and I wouldn't

0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:39.760
<v Speaker 3>make a dent in your life.

0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:44.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, I really don't feel too much time pressure.

0:54:44.960 --> 0:54:47.840
<v Speaker 4>This is the best relationship I've been in, so it's

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 4>definitely I have I feel confident that it can go

0:54:52.840 --> 0:54:53.440
<v Speaker 4>the distance.

0:54:54.000 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's just you seem really in love. You seem

0:54:56.239 --> 0:55:02.399
<v Speaker 2>really happy. I know, Bless, that's so cute.

0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Just reflecting yesterday about the year and I was like, oh.

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 3>Long, oh that's so sweet. On a road trip, no Less,

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:11.440
<v Speaker 3>How did you guys meet up on a road trip?

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, I was using the dating apps just to like

0:55:13.520 --> 0:55:15.160
<v Speaker 4>meet people because I was looking for a new city

0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:16.600
<v Speaker 4>to live in, so I wanted to like get the

0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:19.759
<v Speaker 4>local perspective. And then he I actually had a really

0:55:19.800 --> 0:55:22.279
<v Speaker 4>bad experience in the town he was in, But I

0:55:22.360 --> 0:55:24.839
<v Speaker 4>was like trying to see if I wanted to live there,

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 4>but like got criminal minds, Like somebody was like following

0:55:29.440 --> 0:55:30.840
<v Speaker 4>me on the highway was really creepy. I was going

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:33.360
<v Speaker 4>to leave the next day, and then he messaged me

0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:35.360
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, well, let me just go for coffee,

0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:37.400
<v Speaker 4>and then I ended up staying.

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, how often do you guys get to see

0:55:39.400 --> 0:55:39.759
<v Speaker 2>each other?

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Average?

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 4>Like every six eight weeks. Oh, I'm actually gonna go

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 4>see him on Thursday. His mom invited me, so I'm

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:47.560
<v Speaker 4>going to meet the whole family.

0:55:47.640 --> 0:55:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh good, oh good. Well, just enjoy your time right now.

0:55:50.360 --> 0:55:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Enjoy Oklahoma, enjoy Tulsa, and enjoy your long distance relationship.

0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 3>And then in March you can reevaluate and if it

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 3>needs a couple more months, then that's fine too. Just

0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:02.600
<v Speaker 3>look at this as a temporary situation to get yourself

0:56:02.640 --> 0:56:04.400
<v Speaker 3>more like financially situated.

0:56:05.840 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for the advice. I just have a hard

0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:10.960
<v Speaker 4>time like day to day I think accepting. Do you

0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:13.279
<v Speaker 4>have any advice for like just how to really like

0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:16.560
<v Speaker 4>radically accept that I have made this choice and like

0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:18.600
<v Speaker 4>not like just waiting for the end.

0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you have to be like active in your First

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:23.320
<v Speaker 3>of all, you need to be active in your community

0:56:23.360 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 3>in some way. You have to join some clubs whatever

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:28.840
<v Speaker 3>you're interested in. What are you interested in, like sports

0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:31.759
<v Speaker 3>or chess or like a book club or anything like

0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:34.520
<v Speaker 3>what do you like to do in your free time?

0:56:35.239 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 4>I would love to join a book club. I've been

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:38.760
<v Speaker 4>asking everybody for like crafting circle.

0:56:38.960 --> 0:56:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well those things you can easily find on Facebook

0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and online, just you know, I mean, just google this

0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 3>stuff in your area and start hanging out with people

0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.439
<v Speaker 3>and being an active participant. And you should just write

0:56:49.440 --> 0:56:51.440
<v Speaker 3>down a mantra for yourself, like I'm going to be

0:56:51.440 --> 0:56:54.160
<v Speaker 3>an active participant in my life and I'm going to

0:56:54.160 --> 0:56:57.200
<v Speaker 3>be an active participant in my community, so that you're

0:56:57.280 --> 0:57:00.239
<v Speaker 3>just like enjoying yourself. The worst thing about not being

0:57:00.280 --> 0:57:03.320
<v Speaker 3>present in the present moment and thinking about the future

0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:06.279
<v Speaker 3>is that you are You're like on borrow time. You

0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:08.080
<v Speaker 3>have to make the most of everything. You don't know

0:57:08.120 --> 0:57:10.319
<v Speaker 3>what's going to be out there or what kind of

0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:13.160
<v Speaker 3>friendships you're going to make, you know, with people, so

0:57:13.320 --> 0:57:15.600
<v Speaker 3>like you really have to just kind of I know

0:57:15.640 --> 0:57:17.800
<v Speaker 3>what you're saying, and I've been there, but you do

0:57:17.880 --> 0:57:20.840
<v Speaker 3>have to make a shift, and you should start meditating

0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:23.120
<v Speaker 3>on it, like, you know, find a meditation that helps

0:57:23.160 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 3>you really focus on the moment that you were in

0:57:25.880 --> 0:57:28.560
<v Speaker 3>instead of looking to the future. It's okay to plan things.

0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Just be like, I'm here for six months. I'm going

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:32.800
<v Speaker 3>to make the most out of this. I'm going to

0:57:32.880 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 3>see everything Tulsa has to offer, and I'm going to

0:57:35.560 --> 0:57:37.120
<v Speaker 3>make great friends that I'm going to have for the

0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:40.240
<v Speaker 3>rest of my life. And eventually those things become true

0:57:40.360 --> 0:57:42.600
<v Speaker 3>and then they are real. It's manifestation.

0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you should write a book.

0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't you believe in manifestation? I know you do, right, yeah,

0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I do. It's true, Like you have to you and

0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:52.000
<v Speaker 3>what's your head is in the game. Then you are

0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:52.480
<v Speaker 3>in the game.

0:57:52.880 --> 0:57:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm going to take that advice. Yeah, absolutely, yah

0:57:56.880 --> 0:57:58.160
<v Speaker 2>oh real that was really good.

0:57:58.240 --> 0:58:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Thanks yahya, thanks. Do you feel what I'm saying? Do

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:03.200
<v Speaker 3>you feel? I think you should write those two sentences

0:58:03.200 --> 0:58:05.880
<v Speaker 3>down and put them on a mirror in your bathroom

0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:07.960
<v Speaker 3>so you read that every morning, and that's how you

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:10.560
<v Speaker 3>start every single day. And then who know, you know what,

0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:12.720
<v Speaker 3>you might even fucking fall in love with Tulsa. You

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:14.560
<v Speaker 3>might even be like, I'm never going to leave here.

0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:16.479
<v Speaker 3>This is I came here, I didn't want to stay

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:18.160
<v Speaker 3>here for more than six months, and then you're there

0:58:18.160 --> 0:58:19.320
<v Speaker 3>for twenty years.

0:58:19.720 --> 0:58:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's very possible. People have done it.

0:58:22.400 --> 0:58:25.440
<v Speaker 3>So open your mind, don't keep it so narrow, open it,

0:58:25.600 --> 0:58:28.920
<v Speaker 3>broaden it, and expand it. Yeah.

0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think also, like once a week, I think

0:58:31.040 --> 0:58:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you should try to do something new in the city,

0:58:33.320 --> 0:58:35.479
<v Speaker 1>just to be like, I only have six months here,

0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 1>so like I'm going to, you know, every single week,

0:58:37.960 --> 0:58:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do something new.

0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 3>And even if you and find a book club or

0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:43.880
<v Speaker 3>start a book club, you can start one, you know,

0:58:44.680 --> 0:58:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and to start it on Facebook or on Instagram or

0:58:47.040 --> 0:58:49.040
<v Speaker 3>any of these things. You can find people in your area.

0:58:49.200 --> 0:58:51.960
<v Speaker 3>So easily on all of these apps. It's easy to

0:58:52.000 --> 0:58:54.760
<v Speaker 3>connect with strangers if you haven't made any real friends yet,

0:58:55.040 --> 0:58:58.960
<v Speaker 3>and start cultivating relationships, and definitely do things outside of

0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 3>your comfort zone. You know, join a club like a

0:59:01.520 --> 0:59:03.680
<v Speaker 3>running club or a walking club or a hiking club

0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:06.560
<v Speaker 3>or whatever the fuck biking, you know, and make sure

0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:08.840
<v Speaker 3>you're doing different things so that you're stretching yourself and

0:59:08.880 --> 0:59:10.080
<v Speaker 3>that you're not just stagnant.

0:59:11.680 --> 0:59:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And tell your boyfriend to move to you.

0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:19.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm Adela. I'madela Chelsea Handler and everybody said you need

0:59:19.120 --> 0:59:20.439
<v Speaker 4>to come to them.

0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, good luck in Tulsa and enjoy those museums
