Speaker 4: I did a photo shoot recently and it was very fun.

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: But also I'm realizing too, because everybody wants to like

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: think of something different, unique, What haven't we seen?

14

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: people know because I am here, I am already the

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,520

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: are just like, what can't we do that's different, I'm like,

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: I'm already the thing that's different. It's so fucking refreshing

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: for my soul and spirit to be out here saying

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,399

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: Purple rain is Otis's favorite song. And so when it

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes we sing Purple Rain or I'll play it. And

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: Otis knows that I love the song seven, and he

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 4: like is like me because he will memorize the dances

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: in the video, which I used to do back in

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,720

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 4: all iPads and shit, right, And so it's really fun

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 4: when they put a record on because they feel like

66
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: they've created something. I mean, I can't just sit around

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: and fucking paint shit with them, you know what I mean.

68
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,799

00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: used to do shows in public together.

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: I know, and then like every once in a while,

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: we would give each other ride home because we kind

137
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 3: of lived in the same neighborhood.

138
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: And then you moved I did, and then I moved.

139
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: Where did you move? I'm in La? Oh my god.

140
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 5: I followed your ig journey to LA. It was pretty crazy.

141
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: I mean, like the move and everything like.

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: That that happened. How does a girl go to LA?

143
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's legal, but go ahead.

144
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: You know what.

145
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: Honestly, I truly like, I truly felt like a traitor

146
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: for a really long time. And then I got here

147
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: and I was like, what the fuck was I thinking?

148
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: I should have been out of here because New York

149
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: City is a very hard place and I'm a native

150
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: New Yorker, so I've only lived in New York my

151
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: entire life. So I moved out of the city and

152
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: away from my family at forty years old.

153
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: It was a midlife crisis.

154
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: It was a midlife crisis, and the pandemic was happening,

155
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: and so I figured, if I was gonna give it

156
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: a shot, why not now? And so I moved when

157
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: everything was shut down, I ordered me a hazmat suit

158
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: off of Amazon.

159
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: Me and my pun do.

160
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: They have plus size Hasba suits.

161
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: They go up to like a four or five X.

162
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: It's hot, it's fucked, So okay, just wear like some

163
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: backing show ups in the tank because it's a plastic suit.

164
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: Basically got so I had the mask on the shield

165
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: on everything, and I came out here.

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: I moved out here and some.

167
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: Jordan's so Rick Cross is set, did you like.

168
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: Check out neighborhoods? Like what were you looking for in

169
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: the La place?

170
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Well?

171
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: I did, like, So I moved here in December twenty twenty,

172
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: and so I decided like in October that I was

173
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: gonna move. Thankfully, I was able to work. I worked

174
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: pretty consistently during the pandemic. I know, people was like

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: it was hard for me, like low key. The pandemic

176
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: was amazing with me, good good, But I was working

177
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: on Larry Wilmore's Late Night series. It was like a

178
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: short lived Peacock political late night show. That room was remote,

179
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: and so everybody in the room was like, you need

180
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: to move to LA. You need to move to LA.

181
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know, I'll see because

182
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: I think when you're a New Yorker, especially as a

183
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: stand up, you're like, I'll go when something brings me there,

184
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: like I need to have like the red reas been

185
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: rolled out, like the money bags, like you know, yeah,

186
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: And they were like no, they were like no, you

187
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: need to get here. You need to be here and

188
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: then everything will like be there for you. And so

189
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: December I moved, but in October I came for a weekend.

190
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: I stayed at my friend's dy and I'm Johnson's house,

191
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: a fellow comedian, and I had like she's the best.

192
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: I had like sixteen apartments and a like spreadsheet that

193
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: I came up with and then I just like spreadshet

194
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: speaking Jordan's language. Wid Jordan and I are kindred spirits.

195
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: We haven't really like broken down how much were a kendred,

196
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: But whenever we see each other, we're like, I fucking

197
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: see you, like we really.

198
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 6: Said wild truly.

199
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: I remember when I was like working on my stand

200
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 4: Up Hour, and I asked Jordan, I'm like, how can

201
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: I like arrange these topics? And he sent me this

202
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: fucking app where it was like a cloud and then

203
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 4: there was like a line and this thing needs that thing.

204
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 4: I said, what it feels like I'm in a panic room.

205
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Why are you making like a brain tree?

206
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: Yes?

207
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: And I was like, how dare you? But I see

208
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: how this can work between the two of y'all.

209
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 6: It can work wonderfully. And look how it worked out

210
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,400

217
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 5: this season of Black Ladies got show.

218
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I saw you.

219
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: You just sent this video out Black Church and you're

00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: dunking something is going on?

221
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: What black nonsense is happening in that video?

222
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: It was a baby baptism dunky phone sponsored by Dunkin Donuts.

223
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 4: Oh my god, if Ben Affleck would have showed up,

224
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: I mean that is so crazy.

225
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: There was that you that was me, Yes, that was

226
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: me and the mullet. So I was able to dust

227
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: off my basketball skills and you know, I came in

228
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: they needed somebody, and I was like, I think I

229
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: could do this role.

230
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: And so I was able to do it and it

231
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: was fun. I had a lot of fun.

232
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: And also I'm so grateful that I'm in shape because

233
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: you know, people don't know how TV works. So I

234
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: was doing that for like eight hours street yeah duncan repeatedly, Yeah, amazing.

235
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: I have a question. I'm trying to figure out how

236
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: to like properly word it because there's like a lot

237
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: of thoughts in my head. So was there ever a

238
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: time where you're like, when is this going to happen?

239
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you've gotten over the mountain of

240
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 4: just like, well, I can see what it is, and

241
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 4: even with the position you have now, this is a

242
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: lot of different questions, I suppose, So just whatever you

243
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: feel like you can answer, great, because a lot of people.

244
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: Are like when when when? When right?

245
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: And even when they get there, they realize that they

246
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: weren't even ready for it because they're like intimidated or

247
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: don't know how something works, or too scared to actually

248
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: pitch something even though they do have the idea. Can

249
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 4: you talk a little bit about like what it's like

250
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: being in the room, what it's like giving constructive criticism,

251
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: what it's like receiving it, and then also what it's

252
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: like to be patient enough to like have shit happen

253
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: for you. It's a lot of shit. So whatever you remember, great, y'all. No,

254
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: I get it. I totally get it.

255
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 3: I think for me, this was never like this was

256
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: something I could see myself doing, but it wasn't something

257
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: that I was hell bent on doing. And I think

258
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: because of my I think because of my previous careers,

259
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: it kind of like all came together. Like I was

260
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: a journalist for over a decade, then I would stand

261
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: up for over a decade, and then while I was

262
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,479
Speaker 3: doing stand up, I would get acts to do, like consulting,

263
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: you know, like that off the books, like non union

264
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: consulting work.

265
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: Come in here and write these jokes and make this

266
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: script better.

267
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 3: Come in here, be the only black person to write

268
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: for this black show because everybody else is white, and

269
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: then we will hire you again. So like you know

270
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: that rotating chair that all comics would get acts to

271
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: come and like help punch up scripts, and so it

272
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: was something that I knew I could do, but I

273
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: always was like stand up, stand up, stand up. So

274
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: then when the pandemic happened and I wasn't comfortable going

275
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: on the road during the pandemic because I was caring

276
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: about my family taking care of them and all that

277
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: other stuff, then it was like, okay, let me lean

278
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: into what I've already been doing, which was being a

279
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: journalist and you know, my comedy. And so I kind

280
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: of refocused and said, okay, well let me look at

281
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: TV writing now, because this is the opportunity that is

282
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: coming up. It's in my face, like, you know, people

283
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: asking do you want to do this thing? And I

284
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: would be an idiot to turn it down. And then

285
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: when I got here, especially when I got to Black Lady.

286
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: I joined in season three as a writer producer, and

287
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: when I got hired as like an official producer, I

288
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: was like, I've been doing this shit my whole life.

289
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: I've been doing this in every part of my job.

290
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: I was.

291
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: I did this when I was a journalist, when I

292
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: was managing editor. That's basically traffic keeping, making sure all

293
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: the moving parts are moving, making sure the deadlines and

294
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: making sure the writer's contracts are write, making sure the

295
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: copies clean, like doing all that multitasking. And then as

296
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: a comic, it's like knowing how to work in an

297
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: environment that's not necessarily environment. I tour the country extensively

298
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: doing NAKA, which is, you know, the National Association College

299
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: Acts or whatever it's called. But when I go out

300
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: and perform at a bunch of colleges, I was in

301
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: Middle America for a long time and in hostile environments

302
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: and knowing how to like navigate those spaces. And so

303
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 3: now that I'm in a writer's room, it's like, oh,

304
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: this is kind of easy. Like I can manage seven

305
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: eight different personalities. I know how to make people feel

306
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: welcomed and wanted and supported. I know how to use

307
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: my managerial skills and my communication skills. And it never

308
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 3: was a matter of me being like do I belong here?

309
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I think I am actually prepared to

310
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: be here, and I didn't realize I was until I

311
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: got in this position.

312
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: That is so important because the amount of stuff we

313
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: do for free really is like the education sometimes to

314
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: set us up for like where we need to be.

315
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: And that's why I never questioned, like the when it's

316
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 3: gonna happen, like whatever it is. It's like I'm always

317
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: willing to do what I need to do to be Okay.

318
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: Being an artist really is being a multi hyphen in

319
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And I don't know. Maybe

320
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: we're just like very fucking talented and people are just basic.

321
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: But I feel like if you are really an artist,

322
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: then like you're just gonna fuck around and find out

323
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: what is good and fine and fun.

324
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Right.

325
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that you brought up writing another book

326
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: because I really want to know what made you decide

327
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: to write a book in the first place, because it

328
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: is the hardest thing I've ever done. Yeah, it's hard.

329
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: I think we were like writing our books like around

330
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: the same time, I think, and it was it was hard.

331
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: I missed deadlines.

332
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't miss deadlines, maybe like a week or two,

333
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: but I had to shut everything down.

334
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: You know.

335
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: They give you like a couple months, like probably like

336
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: nine ten months to write a book, and I kind

337
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: of waited till like the last three months.

338
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: Shout out to my book agent.

339
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: Robert Gunsler.

340
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Robert who woo.

341
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: And so for me, I just knew I had to

342
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: buckle down, and you know, thankfully, like you know, Jordan

343
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: outlined everything, so it was just a matter of like

344
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: sitting down and having to write it. But when it

345
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: came down to writing it, I had to tell my family.

346
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I'm shutting down for three months.

347
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: It was like, don't ask me to take your food shopping.

348
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: I can't go to nobody's doctor's appointments. I'm not even

349
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: doing stand up, like I'm in the house writing this book.

350
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: And that was just the sacrifice I had to make.

351
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: But I think also for me, it was something I

352
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: had to do for myself because ever since I was

353
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: I wanted to be a journalist, so, you know, whatever

355
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: it was, I knew I wanted to tell stories. You know,

356
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: the highest acclaim for a writer, especially a journalist, is

357
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: to be an author. And so I would always watch

358
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: the news or like a program and it would say

359
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: journalists and author of this thing, and it was like,

360
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: that's the thing.

361
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: I felt that gave you credence. I had to do it.

362
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: I love your book. Your book is really great.

363
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: Thank youm The big reveal for me in the book

364
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: was just like how you learned to love your body

365
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 5: and learn that. I was like, okay, Chloe, is I

366
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 5: mean obviously I knew this, you are a catch, but

367
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: like the way you go, I was like, this chapter

368
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: interesting and I didn't know that.

369
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: What walk us through it? Jordan, welcome through?

370
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: No, No, we got the writer right here. So I

371
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: mean they didn't pay, they didn't pay for me.

372
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 6: He Chloes are you talking?

373
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: Are you talking about the sex chapter?

374
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

375
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: Okay, first of all, please tell the audience what your

376
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: book is about, and let's just get to this chapter

377
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: right away that.

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: Clearly can't even make eye contact, I.

379
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Can't very interesting.

380
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: Yes, my book is entitled Fuck your Diet and other

381
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: Things my thighs have told Me, And that particular chapter

382
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: for me was important because I seen whenever we do

383
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: have the conversation about body image, body weight, self esteem,

384
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: there's always a woe was me thing and the one

385
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: thing interesting about me regardless of all of my you know,

386
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: issues and hang ups about my body, I still always

387
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: got it in like sex was never a problem for me. Yes,

388
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: tell it, says, come on, it's never a problem for me.

389
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: Never see it.

390
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: I never found myself in a position being like why

391
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: can't I blah blah blah, Like that was never the

392
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: case for me. It was always about how do I

393
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: feel and what was I using sex for? And I

394
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: think a lot of times, because I did have intimacy issues,

395
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: I would use sex for more like a transaction thing

396
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 3: than like a love intimacy thing. And I think that's

397
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 3: because at the time, I had a very disconnected relationship

398
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: with my body, like my physical body and my emotional

399
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: spiritual body. So I would navigate the space kind of

400
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 3: like a dude. Like it was just like, Oh, I

401
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: just want this fix, I need this. I'm going to

402
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: like do what I need to do for myself. And

403
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: also being a comedian, being on a road a lot,

404
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: it wasn't really an option of having long lasting intimate

405
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 3: relationships or partnerships because a lot of men didn't understand

406
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: that I was going to be gone nine months out

407
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: of the year traveling, and so it was like, Okay, well,

408
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 3: this is what's working for me at this time. And

409
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 3: that chapter was important because I wanted other people to

410
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: know that, like, you can still be a sexy bitch,

411
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: you can still get it in, and you can still

412
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: crave and desire and have your kinks and fetishes and

413
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 3: do all those things and be unapologetic about it.

414
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly how I feel. Abot up my body.

415
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 4: But I want to say she actually does because he

416
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 4: talks about his thighs quite a bit. It's a journey, yeah,

417
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 4: and he talks about his size so much that I

418
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: was just like, what happened when you were a teenager?

419
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: My thighs are.

420
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 5: So big that I consider myself an ally They're so juicy.

421
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: But is what in the drumstick emojising on?

422
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: No? I just love I loved the journey.

423
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 5: You kept wanting to meet certain beauty standards that were

424
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 5: like pushed on you.

425
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: But it was like, hey, there's a whole bunch of

426
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: people that like you the way you are, you know.

427
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I was like, yo, that is that is

428
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 5: some mature distillation understanding something and getting a nugget in

429
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 5: a breakthrough like that.

430
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: It's huge.

431
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 5: It doesn't come up sometimes in a lifetime, Yeah, where

432
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 5: people understand that, like you are more than enough, right, yeah,

433
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 5: riving already.

434
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: And I love I love that about the book.

435
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: It's like when people say Lizzo's so brave, she's also

436
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: just being her, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

437
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: she's just living, yeah, and wearing what she wants to wear.

438
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: So I believe the arts are.

439
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: So important and music and everything because it really affects culture.

440
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 4: And also the hardest, most awkward conversations I've had with

441
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: my mom is because I saw a scene in this

442
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 4: TV show or a scene in that film, or what

443
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: does this lyric of music mean? So that's why it's

444
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 4: so important to create and to share, especially in different bodies, shapes, shapes, sizes,

445
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 4: because then it'll be in people's face in a way

446
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 4: that they can like tolerate it, if that makes sense.

447
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 4: Because if I were to go on like any fucking

448
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: panel talk show and be like this is why my

449
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: show is body positive and sex positive, it becomes like

450
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: this debate, you know, it becomes like this thing that

451
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 4: isn't like fun or funny or light. It's like this

452
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: quiet protest, like a party of one at a table

453
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: or something, and like a Macy's Colbalt Blazer. I like details,

454
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 4: you know, when you put it in a scene or

455
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: like a stand up routine or even a book, it

456
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: just I don't know, Oh, it just feels like it

457
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: hits different. That's why it's like so fucking important to

458
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: do what we're doing and.

459
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: Be paid truly.

460
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure.

461
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: You know when you talk about like television influences, I

462
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: mean I was a TV kid, Like I mean, now

463
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: that I work on TV, it's like, yeah, this has

464
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: been to be because I watched a lot of television.

465
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 4: I was a latchkey kid, you know.

466
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: I will go to school by myself at like seven eight,

467
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: come home by myself, watch TV and it was like

468
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: Facts of Life in different strokes. And I remember on

469
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: Facts of Life when Natalie was fat and he was

470
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 3: talking about her weight and I was like, oh, she's fat.

471
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: I didn't even think she was, like it was an

472
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: episode she was like and she was like, you don't

473
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: know what it's like to be like And I was like,

474

Speaker 4: you look like every other woman that I know. Like

475
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 4: to me, it wasn't a big thing.

476
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: But even the way that they had that conversation then

477
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: it's like that was in the eighties nineties, Like why

478
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: are we still having that conversation?

479
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 4: Like we shouldn't even be having this conversation.

480
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: I know.

481
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, let Joe do what she wants. She don't

Speaker 1: Take the good to take the bad, take them both,

490
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: and there you have.

491
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was waiting.

492
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: You grew up in Williamsburg in the like in the

493
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 5: Jewish or Orthodox Jewish part of Williamsburg.

494
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

495
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

496
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: The Hasidic Jewish part?

497
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: Wow? What was that like?

498
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: You know, I mean my whole.

499
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: Life I kind of like stuck out. So it was

500
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 3: normal to me. It wasn't until like people would come

501
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: and visit that they would be like, why is an

502
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: alarm going off at Friday at sundown? I was like, oh,

503
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: because that's when the Jews got to go home because

504
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: it's Sabbath. To me, it was just like, that's just

505
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: what it is. Like, Yeah, I'm used to hearing this

506
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 3: alarm every week. I'm used to when it's their Sabbath,

507
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: they knock on the door and they ask me to

508
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: come like do stuff because they can't turn on electricity

509
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: or turn on the stove. If their kid bust their

510
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: head to the white meat, they'll ask me to push

511
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 3: it to the Doctor's all like, yeah, that's just my community.

512
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: That's the same thing when I lived on the Upper

513
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 3: West Side, I had to get the elevator for everybody.

514
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: It's wild. But that's the beautiful thing about New York.

515
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: I think at least we all learn how to share space.

516
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the New York essence is like, what

517
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: do you need And if I can help you, I'll

518
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: help you.

519
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 4: If I can't, I can't.

520
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: You know, if I can't, I can't, Okay.

521
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

522
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: But also it's like it's not like a big deal,

523
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

524
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: It's not like the end of the world like I was.

525
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: You know, the difference between New York and la I

526
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: know people talk about this, like they say, like New

527
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: York is not nice, but whatever they say. Many times

528
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: I've been in New York and you just see like

529
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: a mom with a stroller at the top of the

530
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: stairs and there's no work to change. If somebody comes

531
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: and grabs a bottom of a stroll on help for

532
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: down the stairs. It's just like, oh, you need help, Okay, cool,

533
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: I have the time. Yeah, but here people will see

534
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: you struggling and be.

535
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 4: Like, next, okay, have on.

536
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

537
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: It's also hard for me to write my mind around

538
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: the amount of vocal fry. I'm like, everyone sounds like

539
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: Keanu Reeves, like in the early nineties, and I don't

540
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 4: know how to take you seriously. And then they look

541
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: at me and they're like, say bagels, say water. I'm like,

542
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: this isn't an audition for you, bitch, Well, it probably

543
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: actually is.

544
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: Are you liking La? Do you love the hikes? Do

545
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: you love the beach?

546
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 3: Like?

547
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: Do you like the markets? What's up?

548
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: I'm a hike girl. I have done the beach a

549
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: couple of times, but I love the hike. I go

550
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: hiking every week if I can more than once. I

551
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: go for walks and that also helped me tremendously, like

552
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: when I moved here during the pandemic, getting out and

553
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: just being out in the sun and getting fresh air.

554
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 6: But how's dating?

555
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 4: We want to know what the dating culture is?

556
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Well, I I was more interested in the hikes, but please,

557
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: the dating.

558
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: You know what the hikes are more successful than the dating.

559
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: And maybe you go onto the wrong king. You never know.

560
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: There's so many highways.

561
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 4: How are we going to figure out how to date?

562
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: And there's so many people will know what it is.

563
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 6: How you figure out how to day?

564
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: What if someone gets a callback, they can't meet you,

565
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 4: they got a call back and sand Aemonica at five

566
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 4: pm on a Friday. Yeah, I know. You gotta make decisions.

567
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: You know.

568
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: I didn't even think about like dating and love when

569
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: I moved here. I was just like, Oh, I'm just

570
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: going for the experience and for like the job opportunities.

571
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: I'm such a I'm such a I'm a Capricorn. If

572
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: everything is like work, everything is working money, that's all

573
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: that's my main focus.

574
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

575
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 4: But dating.

576
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: I never really thought about dating because I think for me,

577
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: my my philosophy on life is like whatever is for

578
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: me is for me, and whenever something's supposed to come

579
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: into my life, it will. And so I think when

580
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 3: that person's supposed to come into my life, they will.

581
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: And I also acknowledge that. You know, one of the

582
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: things that I did before the book was I knew

583
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: that I needed to go to therapy. And it was

584
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 3: like one of those things, like a conditional things like

585
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: I'll go to therapy when I either you know, before

586
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: I get married, Like if I'm in a serious relationship,

587
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 3: I'll get go to therapy so I don't like fuck

588
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 3: up my marriage, or I'll go to therapy before like

589
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: something I feel big it's going to like elevate me

590
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: to the next level of of success or whatever, so

591
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: that I can be mentally prepared. And so for me,

592
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 3: the book was that thing, and a part of the

593
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 3: therapy over the last couple of years was really like

594
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: digging down to the why.

595
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 4: Like why did these things trigger me?

596
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Why?

597
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: You know, like what happened in my life that made

598
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: me the person that I am. And I think because

599
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: of I know, because of my therapy that I'm in

600
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: a much better place mentally emotionally to be in a healthy, loving,

601
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: fair and balanced, vulnerable relationship with someone. So when that

602
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: person comes, I feel like I'm in a much better

603
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: position to welcome them into my life. When it comes

604
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: to LA is that like people here are not vulnerable,

605
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: and they're not honest and they're not genuine because the

606
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: philosophy here is fame and access to fame, they out

607
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: here looking at IMDb pages.

608
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 4: They're saying, who you work for?

609
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?

610
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: And the men are worse than the women because ruthless.

611
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: They play the long game. They play the long game.

612
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: You know, you'll be dating somebody for a couple months

613
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden they're like, you know,

614
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: I always thought about doing stand up? Are always I

615
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: think I have a book, I think I could write

616
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: a show, And you're just like, God, that's the end

617
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: of that. Yeah, yeah, that's wild.

618
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: What about long Beach? Is that.

619
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 4: That's a long shot. We're gonna answer some questions from

620
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: the audience, but one question that does come up quite

621
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: a bit is well, taxes, but also therapy. To take

622
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 4: that first step to even find a therapist, people don't

623
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 4: know how to do it.

624
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: They don't even know how to find someone in network.

625
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 4: So when you were looking for a therapist, what were

626
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 4: some of the qualities that you knew you wanted in

627
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: your therapist.

628
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: I wanted a black person and preferably a woman. That

629
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 3: was very important to me. And honestly, I got my

630
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: therapist by happenstance. I was talking to a friend of

631
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: a friend, like and she mentioned that she had a

632
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: great therapist, but she had moved on from her for

633
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: whatever reason, nothing bad, and she was like, you should

634
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: give her a call, and I did, and I'll spend

635
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: my therapist for the past.

636
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: Like three years.

637
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: So I kind of got amazing. Lucky you got lucky.

638
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I do think, you know, you can ask people,

639
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: you know, people who are in therapy should ask them

640
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: what are their experiences like? And everybody has a different approach.

641
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: And so for me, I like someone who is patient,

642
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: who lets me uncover and reveal things in my own

643
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 3: time because I'm such a guarded person. I have been

644
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: such a guarded person. I know why from like my childhood.

645
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: I needed someone who wasn't going to be prying prying,

646
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: but someone who was patient and could just have a

647
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: conversation with me. And it took me more than like

648
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: a year and a half to even get and I

649
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: wasn't seeing her consistently, so I don't want people think

650
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: I was seeing in my therapists like every week. It

651
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: was kind of like very stop and go, which was

652
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: my intention at the time, was very much like I'm

653
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: doing it, but I'm doing it when I want to

654
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: do it. So it was like i'll see you now,

655
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 3: and I'll see you in like three months, and i'll

656
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 3: see you in like two months. It was very like inconsistent,

657
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: and so it took a long time for me to

658
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 3: get to the point where I felt comfortable to just

659
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: like really reveal and really like think and ask the

660
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 3: questions that I had been like thinking about in the

661
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: back of my mind. But everybody's pace is different, and

662
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 3: so know what your preferred form of communication is, and

663
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: then ask that person who you're you know, essentially interviewing

664
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 3: for your therapists, like where their tactics are. Because a

665
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: lot of times people go, I didn't like that person

666
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: because they did blah blah bla bla bah. It's like, well,

667
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: you could have just asked with their approaches and then

668
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: you would have known ahead of time before you spent

669
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty dollars.

670
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: That part, Oh, that part hurts. It's expensive just to

671
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: be healthy.

672
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.

673
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 5: Sometimes I'm like, I want to see my therapists when

674
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: things are going right, not when things are going wrong.

675
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 5: You know, I want to like challenge myself to see

676
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: them when it's going right, because when things are going right,

677
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: I get so gassed.

678
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: You know funny.

679
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 4: It's so funny to me because like it's never been

680
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: right for me. There's always something for me. There's always something.

681
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: Always something you can find that you can point to

682
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 5: that that's problematic. So the kind of balance counterbalance where

683
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 5: it's like, Okay, well this is going right, but there's

684
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 5: a leak in the faucet downstairs and I haven't fixed

685
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 5: it yet, just like other relationships that you haven't a

686
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 5: dress store, things like that.

687
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's always a to do list, like having a

688
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: big family, trying to put up boundaries, trying to make

689
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 4: time for a family that wants to get to know

690
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: my children. You know, work is not the end all

691
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 4: be all, but I love it finding that balance all

692
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: the time. When I see you say these are good

693
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: and up and up, I'm like, what is that?

694
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: Like?

695
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: I want it?

696
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: I say this cloth.

697
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 5: You know, you inspired me to actually get in shape

698
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 5: because I see your ig videos. You'd like be working

699
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 5: out during the core cour and I was like, man,

700
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: I gotta yeah, oh I'm out here dipping it and

701
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: doing it.

702
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: I gotta do it too.

703
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 6: I gotta work up a sweat like you were out

704
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 6: there doing it.

705
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: And I was like I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna

706
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: do it too unless I put this HOGI down. I'm

707
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. But I see her.

708
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 5: Doing it, like really you were changing your life and

709
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: those IG videos. Yeah, I think the word inspirational has

710
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: been kind of like misused in ways, But now I

711
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 5: can say it to your face like it was so

712
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: dope and I was like, a.

713
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 6: Honestly friend, that's so nice. I mean, listen, you can't.

714
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: You can't give away all the recipe, but like what's

715
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 5: your wellness routine? Like what keeps Chloe smiling? Like you

716
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 5: look so sun dripped right now? Girl, you look like

717
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 5: one of my La cousins with the good skin.

718
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: Like how you you know what to both of your points?

719
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: Like you know what Michelle said, It's like there's always something,

720
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: There is always something. The biggest shift that happened for me,

721
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: it had to do with mental and physical when I

722
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: moved here, was accountability. I always would let myself off

723
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: the hook. I always would give an excuse for why

724
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: I couldn't do something or why it was okay for

725
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: me to slack on something. And I really had a

726
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: conversation with myself and I said, would you allow anyone else.

727
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: To treat you the way you treat yourself?

728
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: Ooh?

729
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: Would that person be your friend?

730
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: Would that person be someone who you lean on if

731
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: they're always letting you down? And so for me, it's

732
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: always about balance. Right, last night I had ramen. I

733
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: had amazing ramen with chicken wings and amazing dessert. And

734
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: I knew, okay, because I ate that I got to

735
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: get up and walk four and a half miles this morning.

736
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 4: For what and sore?

737
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Where are you? She's hiking?

738
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 2: She's hiking the mountains.

739
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, like walking around.

740
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love this.

741
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: And so for me it's like when something is wrong,

742
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: you know, when something feels bad, I always have to

743
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: remember the good things.

744
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, life is not perfect.

745
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: I remember when I was like nineteen years old, I

746
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 3: was interning at The Source magazine and my boss at

747
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: the time, I was complaining because I was broke, and

748
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: I was like, I have no money, blah blah blah,

749
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: I gotta pay my cell phone bill blah blah. He

750
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: was like, Chloe, You're always gonna have bills. You will

751
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: always have bills, yes, So don't let that put a

752
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: damper on your day because it's always going to be there,

753
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: like you know, you're gonna take care of it because

754
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: you're responsible adult, Like you're not gonna go into default

755
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: on a phone bill, but like spend two dollars and

756
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: get you some fucking pizza. Like, yes, five dollars, don't

757
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: get lunch, like you still got to eat, you know

758
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: what I mean?

759
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 6: Damn Chloe, hold on, you were interning at the Source?

760
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

761
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: How many mics was that experience?

762
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: So I was at the Source two different times?

763
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so the first time I would say it was

764
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: a five mic experience because I interned there at the height,

765
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: like when the magazine was like three hundred and eighty pages.

766
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 4: And it was a meal.

767
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: No.

768
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: No, Amil Wilbercam was with Vibe the Source was at

769
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: the time it was Carlio Rodriguez who's now an acclaimed

770
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: TV writer. Showrunner Eric Parker was my boss who has

771
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: gone on to win awards. He directed the NAS documentary.

772
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: I worked with so many people who are now like

773
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: working in Hollywood, and so that's why I would say

774
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: it was a five mic experience because I got to see,

775
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: you know, black and brown people thrive in journalism.

776
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: And I've worked at other places.

777
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: I worked at The Village Voice, I've worked at Hearst magazines,

778
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: but I can honestly say that my time at The

779
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: Source has been the most impactful because I got to

780
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: see people who look like me, who really gave a

781
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: fuck about journalism, who truly inspired me. And so that

782
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: was the early foundational thing for me as a journalist

783
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: as far as like feeling and seeing the importance of

784
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: speaking on behalf of my people and putting us out

785
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: there in a way that other people can't, you know,

786
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: like journalism and media is so lame right now because

787
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: everything is about money and clicks. But that was a

788
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: very special time. And then I also went back. I

789
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: was there as an intern. But then when I went

790
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: back and I worked there for like a couple of

791
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: years as an editor, it was like on the decline.

792
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 4: I remember this.

793
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 5: Their profile and chingy and things like that. What was

794
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: going on, No, it was worse.

795
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: I was there when there was a hostel takeover, like

796
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: when they kicked Ray and Dave out of the company

797
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: because they defaulted on the loan. And so I was

798
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: in my office and you just see like these suits

799
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: coming in and like they was like at the door,

800
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: make sure that Dave Mays didn't come in because they

801
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: were taking over the company.

802
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 4: What in the Quentin Tarantino is going one yes, what.

803
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 3: What's so funny is that so Dave ended up still

804
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: showing up like he came in. They didn't recognize him

805
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: because he had looked a little bit different than pictures.

806
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: This is before social.

807
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 3: Media, so they couldn't like see like the latest selfie. Okay,

808
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 3: And so there was like all these you know, big

809
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: black dudes in suits who represented you know, the board

810
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: who had taken over.

811
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so Dave came in. He walked right past

812
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: my office.

813
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: He was like, hey, Choe, and I was like, and

814
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: he went he went to the accounting department because he

815
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 3: wanted some money before they like they kicked them out.

816
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: He wants the accounted apartment. And everybody was like, the

817
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: guy y'all supposed to not let in the building.

818
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: That's him, right.

819
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: I can't even get to VIP at a club.

820
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 4: Chloe.

821
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 2: You are like just a well of knowledge and good vibes.

822
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: And so we have some questions from the audience, stay

823
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: right in and we try.

824
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 4: To we try to answer them. We try our best

825
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 4: to answer them. We can't say it all. Sometimes you

826
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: just gotta live it out and see what happens. But

827
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 4: we're gonna get some questions. Okay, this one, uh, they say,

828
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 4: I always get coffee on my way into work and

829
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: one of my co workers text me every morning and

830
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 4: ask if I can grab her one too, Like I'm

831
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 4: her assistant. What is the nicest way to tell her

832
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 4: to get her own damn coffee?

833
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: I think the nicest way is to venmo request her

834
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: the price of the coffee and say, if you if

835
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 3: you want, if you want me to pick you up coffee,

836
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 3: you need to pay for it.

837
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 4: Truly, friend, whoever wrote this question, you gotta put your

838
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 4: big girl panties on, or your big boy pant or

839
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: your big person panties, I don't fucking know, and just

840
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 4: let them know that you don't have time.

841
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: You know.

842
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: I hate when people see something in your hand and

843
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: they're like, why didn't you get me one? Because you're

844
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: not feeding, fucking or financing me, bitch. Okay, next question.

845
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 3: Also, if you guys, you can alternate. You can say, hey,

846
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 3: I don't mind picking up, but you need to pick

847
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: it up, and we can alternate like carpool this coffee.

848
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: Bitch.

849
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 5: Yes, Yes, here's a pretty good question, and I think

850
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: it's it rings out through the ages. At what age

851
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 5: should I start investing in real non Ikea furniture.

852
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 3: I think when you can afford it. Honestly, I think furnitures.

853
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: Quality furniture is not cheap. And also you got to

854
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: ask yourself what are you buying for. Are you buying

855
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 3: for this current apartment or you buying t have furniture

856
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: that's going to go with you to the next place

857
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 3: when you buy a house or whatever, Because that is

858
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: all the difference in the world, it really is.

859
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 2: I think it's what is in your budget.

860
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: And also you don't have to get all like mid

861
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 4: century model. You can mix it up. You know, a

862
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: couch is very expensive. You can get an Ikia couch

863
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: with like some sort of like chair that's mid century.

864
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 4: Because it really behooves you to invest in something that

865
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 4: will only appreciate, right, So like you are spending a

866
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: lot of money, but you can sell it for a

867
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 4: lot of money when you're in a pinch. So I say,

868
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 4: do the research. It's not that hard. You can look

869
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 4: up anything and mix it up. Have fun with your mouth.

870
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 4: Oh my god, is it okay to go on a

871
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 4: first date without telling them I have a kid?

872
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: When do I tell my date I have a kid?

873
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I.

874
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: Please go Chloe, has this ever happened to you? I

875
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: mean men lie about kids all the time. So yes,

876
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean I like, for like two like I'm not exaggerating,

877
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: for like a year straight.

878
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 4: It's worse.

879
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 3: Every single man I went out with was legit married,

880
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: legit married.

881
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 6: Wow, Like every man that I.

882
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: Met for a year like happily not separated, well obviously

883
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 4: not happy, like like like every version of married, separated

884
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: but still living together, married, still living together like and

885
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 4: I would act and like the day and I'm like, so, wait,

886
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: are you in a relationship? They would kind of be

887
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 4: like well, you know, I kind of And I'm like,

888
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 4: where are you married? And they were like, yeah, I'm married.

889
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 6: So I feel like the open relationship or square no.

890
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: Because well, because you know one, that's not what I

891
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: want to sign up for. And I think this lends

892
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: to like the kid thing. It's like you have to

893
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: give people a choice, and no one ever wants to

894
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: feel like they're being like trapped in a corner. Yes,

895
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: And so I feel like before you got on a

896
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: first date, you should have like a real hearty phone

897
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: conversation before you even go on a date. And at

898
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: that point in that hardy phone conversation a good like

899
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 3: forty five minutes, you should be like, hey, by the way,

900
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: I also have a child.

901
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 4: Is that a problem? I mean, this is why people

902
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 4: are doing their due diligence on the Instagram and other

903
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 4: social medias because you got to do a deep dive

904
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 4: to see who somebody really is.

905
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: That is crazy.

906
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: But wait a minute, yes, let's answer the question like

907
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 4: before you go. Yeah, because also, are you like to

908
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: me it.

909
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: Gives energy like you are embarrassed of your child, because

910
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 3: if you're a proud parent, that is a part of

911
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: your identity is being a parent.

912
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure, you can't be like this kid's

913
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: getting in their way.

914
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: It's just cramping mustache. They's trying to get it this

915
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: d wet all right?

916
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: So ew Like, by the way.

917
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: I have a roommate who loves juice boxes.

918
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 6: No, okay, okay, final question here?

919
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: Is it rude to bring boos to a party when

920
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 5: I know they won't be serving it?

921
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: Is this question for me?

922
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 6: Good?

923
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: What do you think, Chloe? Are they okay with it?

924
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: Like if this is a sober home, then no, you

925
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: shouldn't be bringing mood, right if there's a real reason,

926
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: But if you have their permission, Like I had a

927
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: friend who was vegetarian in our twenties. Whenever she have

928
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: like a house party, I will always bring a bucket

929
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: of fried chicken, not Kentucky Kennedy brod chicken with the

930
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 3: bulletproof window Let's go, because it was always extra crispy

931
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: because I knew there was people that that would want

932
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 3: some chicken, and she didn't mind that. You know, but

933
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: it's always asking permission to make sure you not you know, messing,

934
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: like you don't want to entice someone who's trying to

935
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: be sober.

936
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: Yeaheah, I hear that.

937
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: But also it's like if you're not alcohol stop having parties.

938
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: This has been crazy fun.

939
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: We like to ask all of our guests, what is

940
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: the most adult thing you want to do for yourself

941
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,719

1022
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 4: see like the little lights from the houses sort of

1023
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,800
