WEBVTT - Season 3 Premiere: Not Very Maternal with Katy Perry

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Hi, Catherine. How are you, Hi, Chelsea. We're in

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a different studio today, we are, it's all a little

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>bit different. We have a tiny dog friend visiting us today.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, but it's all in the same color

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>scheme as our studio. Was that intentional, you know what?

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Really prepared for us? Yes, but this is a good

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>backdrop for us. Maybe we should move our studio over

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to here. I'd love that we're recording right now from

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Jim Henson's studios, which is very exciting. There's lots of

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Kermit the Frogs everywhere. I also didn't connect the dots

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>when you kept mentioning Kermit via text the relationship to

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Henson's studios. It never once occurred to me that it

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>would be Jim Henson studios. And I thought it was

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>being all cute too, because I was like, Chelsea, just

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>meet me by Kermi. I know. I'm like, what what

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the fund is? Kermi? I'm like, is that a street?

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>How are you, Katherine? I'm doing great. I just got

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>back from Mexico, went on a little girl's trip to

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>play a Harris and it was delightful. Oh oh you

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>know what, Mr Koy and I went on a Little

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>John to Mexico. Yeah, we did. We just got back

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>from Mexico. We went for a few days and we

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>went to Cabo because we didn't have we hadn't had

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>any time in the sun, and after he devoted so

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>much time to in the snow, to me, I have

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to just give into his every whim, which means I

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 1>have to go to Cabo, like, you know, every two

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>every two and a half months, which is no problem. Yes, yeah,

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>is that one of his favorite places to be? It

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>is now? It is now after this trip, he's like, oh,

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>this is awesome. We did a couple's massage. He loves

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that ship. That's really He isn't a fan of a massage.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>He likes a fan of anything we can do together.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's one activity after another together juntos as

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>they say in Spanish, do you get to a point

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>where you want to be separatos? Well, I don't. I

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be separated, But when we are separated,

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate it. I'm not upset that we're separated.

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>We're separated a lot when we're on the roads. When

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>we come back together, that's a nice you know, it

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>keeps the honeymoon phase going for a while, but yeah,

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he definitely. But Joe is a person that also likes

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to be he wants to be around his son or

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>he wants to be around friends. Like he's not gonna

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>sit in his hotel room alone for three hours, right,

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I am eight hours, Give me eight hours, and I'll

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>still need more time alone, like I'm down, and you

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>love him even more when you come back. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>So I definitely have I have an active alone relationship.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to say it. Well, there is

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>something nice about that. I know. My husband Brad went

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>on tour a few years ago and he was gone

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>for like four months, and I thought I would just

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>be kind of devastated because we're a little let's say interdependent,

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe that codependent put it, yes, But I was like, wait,

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>it's really nice to have the house to myself. It's

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>really nice to just do whatever I want all day,

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Like it was great. And then I was happy when

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he came home too. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very interesting to see people who enjoy alone

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>time versus people because I used to never be alone

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and then I got a taste of it during the

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>pandemic and I was like, oh, I like me, I

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like alone. Yeah, I was into it. I was like,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a good time. I'm having a good time

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>with myself. Like we were both on the same page. Yeah,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you can do your secret single behavior, just like maybe

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>be a little messier than you would normally be, like

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>a little lazier than you'd normally be. And that is

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the one good thing about Joe is that he's so

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>fucking messy that no mess I could make is worse

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>than his. You know, we're both kind of a hot mess.

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But I always felt before I had a serious boyfriend,

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I just always felt like it would be nice to

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>have a boyfriend that wanted to spend all of his

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>time with me. So I remember that anytime I think, wow,

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a lot, I just remember you thought that

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>would be nice, because it's better than the opposite. You know,

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>a person who wants to avoid you, and it's like

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>constantly making plans. Oh my god, it's way about it

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>than the opposite. Yeah, Like, anytime I'm available for anything,

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe's right there. He's like, let's go, and he's like

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>game to party, to have a good time. Yeah, he

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>follows my lead. Yeah, and that's that's a good setup

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>for me. Do you find when he's not there that

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>you're sort of missing the rapport that he rings to

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the table, like if you're out with friends or are

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you feeling like it's great? Yeah? No, he definitely adds

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a nice little slice when he shows up at things,

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>like with my girlfriends. We went to a party the

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>other night, and it was so funny because I said, oh,

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, my friend was saying, oh. I said, don't

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>tell all of our drug stories to Joe. Do me

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a favor when you meet him. He was coming to

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>meet us at a party and and they go drug stories.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I go, he's coming tonight. There were four girls with

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>my friends of mine. We all worked on Chelsea, the

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>show on Netflix together, so we traveled all around the

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>world together. So there was a lot of ship that

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>went down. And my friend goes drug stories. This is

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a mushroom party that we're going to. It said mushrooms

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>on the invitation and it was my invitation. But I

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>looped to my girlfriends in because we were supposed to

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>go out. I go, why don't we all just go

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to this party together? And I go, really did it

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>say mushrooms? I was like, I didn't even see that.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, that's classic, Chelsea, Like you don't even

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>know that you're bringing us to a drug party and

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that you just invited your boyfriend, who you don't want

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to talk to drugs about about, you know, to a

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>mushroom party. So he gets my girlfriend proceeded to tell

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>one drug story after another about me. She's like. And

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>then we were in Colombia and Chelsea I was like,

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, shut and we're all looking around. I go,

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>are you what's wrong with you? I just told you

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to do the opposite of what you're doing. And it

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>was so funny. And I looked at Joe and I go,

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, honey, like I told them not

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to tell you all these things. It's like, why why

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm so judgy? I go, you are judging, Like,

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I know you don't think you're judging, but you're judge

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>about drugs. He doesn't like when people like, you know,

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>at his birthday party, we had people there and like

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>people were really partying, and he he was like, it's

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>too much. I don't I'm like, people are in Vegas

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>for three days. They're allowed to do whatever they want

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to do, and if somebody got a little sloppy or

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>got a little messy, and then that's their release, you

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, stop judging that. And it's happening

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas, so it's staying exactly I know. So he's

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>not I don't want to pay the picture that he's

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>super judging and that, you know. Anyway, after that night,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, all right, so I guess it's all out,

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know everything, And he's like, I just

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>worry about you when you're not safe, and I'm like,

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, honey, but I'm here, I'm alive, everything worked out.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about me. Like, I know how to do

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>drugs and I know how to survive. So when you

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>say people, quote unquote we're doing drugs, there's maybe one

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>person that he was concerned about more than others. No,

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>actually no, it was a friend of mine who was

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a hot mess. She's probably listening to

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>this podcast right now, so no, it actually wasn't me,

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and so I got in trouble for my friend's behavior,

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and then eventually, you know, we had to sort that out.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you can't be mad at me for

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>something that someone else did. Sorry, anyway, you know the

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>trials and tribulations of a new coupling, right exactly. You know.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I read something recently and they said all they had

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>asked the universe for was a super hot guy who

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>partied at the same speed as they did. And I

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, that is perfect. That's what we're always looking for,

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a super parties. That's good. I should have put that

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>in my list. Yeah. Like and at the same speed.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like, not too much, not too little. Just y.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.440

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Katie brought her doll. Hello. Hello, I can't hear myself.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>I love to hear myself. Last time I talked to you.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You were about you we were talking about ayahuasca. Oh yeah, no, no,

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I never unwrapped my core. But you sure you didn't know.

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>But I know, I know you guys were doing that.

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Orlando did he went deep? Yeah, he gets deep. He's

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a deep person. Well he's a seeker. Yeah, so what

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>are you. I'm a seeker as well. But I'm just also,

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got like that artist's brain that is

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit more temperamental sometimes, So you think

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you have sometimes bad reactions to things or sense. Yeah,

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't smoke. I can't smoke weed. Oh I'm one

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of those catch me in a corner. Yeah, I got that.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Weed isn't for everybody, and that's something I had to

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>learn the hard way by giving it out to people

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>who couldn't handle it. And I saw that. Yeah, I've

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>done that a lot. I'm like an enabler. Did you

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>ever have a bad reaction on your show when you

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>would like have your round table with the weed and

0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the food. No, one, No, that was on the best behavior. Actually,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe I take that back. Maybe somebody had

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a slightly bad reaction. But when you're on camera, you know,

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you kind of have to temper that reaction and just

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>try to keep it together. But the one we want

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>ate a cannabis dinner on one of my episodes of

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>my show, and I was high for three days, playing

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot for you because your tolerance must be. My

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>eye was shut for three days. I couldn't open it.

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Ah, Okay, we have Katie Perry here, finally.

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited to have you. It's our premier episode

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of season three, and I'm excited to talk to you

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>about all things. And I can't wait to hear all

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 1>the advice you give to our callers that call in

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and write in. Advice, yes, coming from both of us,

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>because well, I think you have a lot of wisdom

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>to impart. Well. Thanks. I mean I've got to see

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the world, so that's a little perspective maybe. Yeah,

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>And you've had a lot of experiences, different experiences, and

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I was just telling you I'm living like in Kentucky

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and I have for almost a month now, and that's

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>quite a um amazing experience because it reminds you that

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood is not America, uh huh, And you need to

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>remember that because I think you can understand people better. Yeah, right,

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>It's nice to get outside of what you know to

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>be normal and your reality. Yeah, I mean they're living

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in a bubble of sorts. Were living in a bubble.

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Our bubbles are completely opposite, but there. Yeah, it's interesting.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>But you've been in different bubbles because you grew up

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in a bubble. You grew up super religious. Yeah, and

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that's one bubble. Then you came into this industry. That's

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>another bubble, right there. Bubble's apology study of human Yeah,

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that sapiens three. So talk to me about motherhood. Motherhood

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>best decision I have remained in my entire life. Really. Yeah.

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't very maternal, and I think that probably stems

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>from some childhood stuff. And we talked about, you know,

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>going on certain journeys, whether that's plant base or psychological

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>or drug based or drug base. Yeah, well plant and

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 1>drug I mean that's the same thing, right, some of it.

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And I did a lot of work behind that stuck

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling of not being maternal, although I was very maternal

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>with all of my friends, I mean my fans and

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and my friends, they all called me mom because I

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.319
<v Speaker 1>love to take care of people. I like I find

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>joy through other people's joy. Like if they're having a

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>great time, I'm having a great time. But still there

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit of a disconnect, and so I

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.839
<v Speaker 1>did go on that journey and found the little um

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>spots that needed some tuning up. And Orlando I got

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to see what a great dad he was with his

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>first child, Flynn, who's now eleven, And so that definitely

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>primarily influenced me, Like something inside of me said, you,

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>mid thirties, this man is nice must read. He's you know,

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>he's a kind man. He's a love machine. I mean

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that in a sexual way. I mean that in a

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>personal way, like when you meet Orlando and you have

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a conversation with Orlando, he is filled with love and

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>spreading love. He's like a machine. I always say when

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>he walks into the room, he has this Jouis d

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>vive about him, and he really does. And you know,

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>some people are like, is that guy on? But he

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>has just really got this kind of like happy, possy vibes,

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I'm a little bit more like heavy

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and prone to depression in some ways, and so it's

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>good for me to be around him because he gets

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>me out of my head a little bit. Yeah, that's funny.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a similar dynamic with my boyfriend Joe, because

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>he is all positive vibes, all happiness up up yeah,

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And I could be much more cynical than that, where

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, no, that guy's a fucking asshole. Why

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>are we hugging him? Yeah? I used to think people

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>like that were like losers, like they didn't understand the

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>fullness of life, because I don't know, how could someone

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 1>be that happy all the time. But maybe they just haven't,

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, had as much trauma as us, or maybe

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>they have and they are just willing to turn it

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>into positive vibes whatever I'm going to tell you. But

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel that way too, because Joe hugs everyone everyone

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we meet, like, and so all of a sudden, he's

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>living in my house, hugging my cleaning lady. Every morning

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>before he leaves, he hugs the landscaper, And now I'm

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>hugging everybody because otherwise I look like a total bit

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>well I know, I know, I know how that feels.

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't really a hugger for a while, and you know,

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>had to kind of work through that, and then when

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>COVID came, I was like, hmm, I'm kind of okay

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with this like no touching, fine, me too. I felt

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the same way totally. But but I am there's two

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>parts of me. When I am on stage and doing

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>my professional life, I'm really a hugger. But at home

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and like in domestic life and personal life, you know,

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the matriarch of the family and just like you,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>just like keeping everything in order, dotting the eyes and

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>crossing the d's and you know, Katie. I mentioned Katie

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 1>show in Vegas, which I was trying to come see

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>when we were in Vegas two weeks ago, but you

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>weren't performing. That wasn't it was going to be a

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>one night only for you though, But I'm gonna come

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and see you anyway. We're gonna come back and seeone

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>who's listening. It's a really fun, fun time. So tell

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>me about how what are you noticing about yourself becoming

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a mother, Like, what are you surprised about that you're

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>able to tolerate, or your pay hints or whatever area

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of your personality that you've discovered. Well, I think that

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>your definition of success changes in life as you get older,

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know, as Coachella has just passed, we observe

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the definition of success for gen Z's and Easter Easter

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Passover and Coachella. Yes, And you know, I think your

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>definition of success coming up and your twenties is very

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>outward and material and ego driven and all that jazz.

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>And then thirties hits and you care less, and there's

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a kind of an inner confidence and respect for yourself

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that starts to grow. Maybe. And then with the motherhood,

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, your definition of well, my definition of success

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>is just her happiness. And again, her happiness really gives

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>me that joy. But a lot of like bs just

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>falls away. Stuff that you thought was important really was

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>never important, and you just don't you know, you don't

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>have time for any sort of energy drama that's not

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>important in your family. And you know, your family really

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>starts to become first because you know, like when you're

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>dating someone, you don't how many kids you've got, like

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>your posse and this posse and like a couple of

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>few different posses for different things, and like you meet

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time, blah blah blah. And although I still

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of those friends, if something, for some

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>reason becomes a little too complicated, I'm like, I'm out.

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I gotta leave this chat. This chat, I'm out because

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I got to make sure my the health and wellness

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of my child is always in the a world. But

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that you just feel a lot more grounded

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and you focus better. You kind of there's a lot

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of lollygagging before kids, and you know that your time

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is limited outside of being with them, or or that

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>if you spend two hours doing something, that better be

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>of real value, because that's two hours you could like

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>engage with the person that you love the most, that

0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>loves you the most. So there's a lot of a

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>element and truly, and I'm in a really privileged place,

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I get you know, I have a wonderful nanny and

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. So it may be an easier time

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for someone like myself than anyone else out there. But

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I've seen I've got to see a lot of views

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of many different mountains, and professionally, I started to see

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the same views. You know. I've been on tour,

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>travel the world three times. I got the opportunity to

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>play Super Bowl. All these things that I'm so so

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>grateful I got to check off my list before I

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>had a child. But then you start doing them over again.

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't get the same high. Yeah, and so you're like, well,

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>what's the next level to life? And then you start

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>doing like a lot of plant based medicine because you're like,

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>there's gotta be a better grid out there. We need

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to see the next dimension or whatever. You know, it's

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.639
<v Speaker 1>just and and and children for me definitely are that.

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean my daughter is is that for me? And

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>has it had it impact your relationship with your mom

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>or your dad being becoming a parent? Yes? For sure,

0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>for sure there's there is profound respect and also profound anger,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.719
<v Speaker 1>not anger, but just like what's and also just like

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>amazement that how did we just how did three of

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 1>us survive? Because like you turn the corner for two

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>seconds and you're just like how did you get there?

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>What is in your mouth? And I give you all

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the toys you ever could want, but you still want

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to an electrical socket, like you know the dog chew

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>toys that are like the Rolex or the Starbucks cup

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. They need to make like a

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>an electrical outlet toy for kids that they're really attracted

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to that's maybe like bedazzled or something, so that they

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>go to that one first rather than like the real ones. Yeah,

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>that's probably a good idea, along with a bunch of

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>other sharp objects like steak knives or things like that.

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I have seen a children's steak knife collection

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 1>because I think I tried to use one accidentally, because

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that's how domesticated I am that I don't know you

0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 1>can't cut with a rubber knife. But I love all

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that you're saying. I have to say from a personal perspective,

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 1>like for me watching your Instagram and watching everything. Obviously,

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I see you all the time hosting Idol, and I

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 1>know you post about Idol a lot, and that's fun.

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>But you seem like your abulliate, like you have a

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>what is that word mean, like a big light around you,

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 1>like everything is. You seem like you're in a great place. Well,

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>don't thank me, thank the well Bucher. And quite honestly,

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>what is well is well preucheron over the counter or

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is that a prescription prescription? Oh and it's an antidepressant.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, because I thought that, well, I must be

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>confusing it with some other medication that you can buy

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>over the counter. Well whatever, Wellness something No, But truly,

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I think my daughter has reshaped my life, my perspective,

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and given me a love I've never had before. It's

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 1>a love and kind of a not a validation, but

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess validation in its purest form is love. I've

0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>always been wanting that love. That's always been my number

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 1>one currency. And then when she came, it was just like,

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I love you for for no reason, just because you

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 1>are And I'm like, what, you don't need anything from me?

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously some food, just a little, a little, okay.

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually breastfed Katie's baby. I produce almond milk in

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>my breasts and she's lactose intolerant, so it worked out perfectly. Also,

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>don't you think that thank you first of all? Must

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 1>don't you think that, like the longer that you can

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>live and observe and survive in this world of spotlight

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I guess we will say industry and

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 1>fame and celebrity and navigate it, the more you just

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of you get better tools and you learn how

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to play it better. Yeah, play it better. And I

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>think you also become less ambitious. Once you've kind of

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.120
<v Speaker 1>solidified a place for yourself, It's like there's definitely not

0:20:55.359 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 1>another Chelsea. Ever, that's sweet. I mean, I think you

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 1>really start to become right like you, you're not as driven.

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some people seem to have that drive inveterately.

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 1>They just go on and on and on and on.

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, but I think, you know, the more confident

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 1>you become, the less you need from the general public,

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and the more you think, the more introspective your work becomes,

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and the higher integrity that your work kind of gives off.

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're like, it's a better quality of work.

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree, because in the beginning, I think of all

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of our careers in the spotlight, you're making art for

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>yourself to kind of prove, and then somewhere along the way,

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of listening to the stuff and I can't

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't affect it, and so sometimes the art gets

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>painted by the noise, and then, like you say, at

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>a certain point, you like go of the noise again,

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you go back to just like creating that

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 1>art out of feeling, which I think is what usually

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>gets you on the map in the first place. Yeah. Yeah,

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a question for both of you about that.

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Does it feel harder to be vulnerable the longer you're

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>doing it? And the more you listen to that noise,

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it becomes easier to be vulnerable. What do

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you think, Well, I think you can be vulnerable, but

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the higher you get, the harder you can fall.

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot more to lose, I guess, And in

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>a world where you can go down pretty easily by anything,

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to be you know, just more aware.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>There's gotta be a lot more awareness, which is yeah.

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I was thinking of it in the sense

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>like being vulnerable, like allowing people to see who you are,

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>becomes easier, I think for me, especially because I didn't

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 1>realize for a long time that people didn't understand that

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.679
<v Speaker 1>we're all multifaceted, we all have different parts of our

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 1>personality and just because you're not demonstrating at all doesn't

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>mean it's not there. And when I was like opening

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>up about my brother dying or like serious things, people

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 1>were always like, oh my god, We've never seen this

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>side of you. It's like, what do you think I'm

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just a fucking bitch all the time, Like obviously, I'm

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously I'm a human girl, Like obviously there's more depth.

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you believe in like the idea of

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like masculine energy. I think we just operate with a

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>lot more of that, and it can be less soft

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.360
<v Speaker 1>soft as feminine. But you know, all those things are smoothing.

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Right now, those sayings are being kind of investigated again

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 1>because what is masculine energy and why does it belong

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to only mail or whatever? You know, you don't want

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.199
<v Speaker 1>to put a gender on that type of energy, but

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that energy is just strong. It's like dominate and black

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and white. You don't seem like a person that like

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>minces their words. No, And that also can come across

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>as harsh, like I mean, I just had a conversation.

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>They were like, can you be nicer to so so

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and so? And I go, are you serious? I sent

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>an email asking just for a bunch of questions. I go,

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>what do you want me to do? Fucking blow them

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>on the in the email? Like what? And they're like, oh, no,

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>you just have to be a little bit softer and

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>how you ask? That's exactly what they said, softer, And

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, I mean all right, but I

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know if like people would expect that, quite honestly

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>from the opposite sex. No one, I've never heard any

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 1>of that said, hey, can you be softer in your email? Totally,

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.719
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, especially not to Orlando. They wouldn't because he's

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>already already. He's a soft plody and we're prickly Okay,

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna take callers. We have a caller calling

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it for advice. You have to put on your advice cap.

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've done a lot of therapy for this moment.

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, we've all all of our therapy comes together

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast, and then we give it out and

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we give back exactly. Well, we'll take a quick break

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 1>for some ads, and we'll be back with Katie and

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea and we're back where back. We have our first caller,

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.160
<v Speaker 1>who is Stephanie. She says, Dear Chelsea, I recently got

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 1>into a serious relationship, my first since college. For years

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>before meeting my new boyfriend, I was in a big

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>partying phase with plan deal flings and hookups, I mean plenty.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been in therapy over the years and have been

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>cognizant of why I was drinking or hooking up with guys. Really,

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it was just a fun time in my life and

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I was just figuring it out. I was always known

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>as the quote a fun girl of the group with

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.119
<v Speaker 1>plenty of stories about my drunken escapades, terrible dates, and

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>minor fuck ups that are more cute slash hilarious than damaging.

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Right now, where I'm at is actually Chelsea told a

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>story very similar to this before you arrive. Yes, I

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>call into my own podcast and she gives great at

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Where I'm at right now is I'm introducing my friends

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to my boyfriend and feel uncomfortable with my friends sharing

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.959
<v Speaker 1>stories are bringing up pastimes in front of him. I

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to lie to him or pretend that I

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like that, But I also don't want him to

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 1>think less of me or judge me. He's an incredible

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.640
<v Speaker 1>person and I don't think he ever would. But how

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>do I accept that for myself? Have you owned yourself

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and your past relationships though I'm not going out as

0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>my If you're drinking at the level I was before,

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 1>how do I still share that part of my life

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>without scaring him? Stephanie and she's going to be joining us, Oh,

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 1>oh great, this is perfect. Yeah, I just told that story.

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Too bad I didn't save it for when Katie was here. Well,

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear it. Well, Hi, Hi, Hi girl.

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Hi Stephanie H. This is Katie. Hi. How are you good?

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>How are you all doing good? We're good. You've spoken

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to Catherine before this, so that's this is very perfect

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>timing because I was just discussing this. I have a

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>very sorted past with all sorts of drug use, and

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I love to talk about it, and my friends love

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell stories about me and blah blah blah. And

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm with a person who doesn't have a big history

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>with drugs. He has no history with drugs, he doesn't

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>do drugs. And I think it's a very valid question,

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and I think you should not be lying. I don't

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 1>think you should ever lie about who you are. I

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>think you know you're gonna be with somebody who's gonna

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>love you because of who you are, and in spite

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of who you are. If you take your drug experience

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>as a negative thing, when it doesn't have to be

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that way. It could be a period of your life

0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 1>where you learned a lot about yourself. You know that

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>was positive and that you explored that. It's a matter

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 1>of moving forward. Do you still want to do drugs

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.719
<v Speaker 1>like that with your partner or are you over that

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 1>phase of your life. I mean, I'm always open and

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>willing to anything, So I don't think it's a phase.

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more of like, you know, a lifestyle.

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 1>But I think just just be clear, was it more

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>just like a partying just like having fun hook ups

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.919
<v Speaker 1>in drinking and stuff like that. The drugs thing was

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.640
<v Speaker 1>yours and hers is more the the the alcohol. Blame

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it on the alcohol and the fun whole bit sets right, Yes, Yeah,

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>more going out and you know, partying and you know

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>all those fun things that come out along with it. Yeah,

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and your twenties. Yeah, listen. I wrote my first book

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was called My Horizontal Life, a collection of one night stands,

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So I've not only done it, I've documented it, which

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>was not a smart move if I was thinking about

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 1>potential suitors, Like, no man reads that book and it's

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.880
<v Speaker 1>like I want to date this girl, or great, I'll

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>date this girl so she can write a fucking short

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>story or essay about me, you know what I mean.

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:12.639
<v Speaker 1>But I'm assuming you're not going to do that. Do

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what your boyfriend's like drug history or partying

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>history is? Um? I mean, he likes to go out,

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 1>but I would say he's much more tame and laid

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 1>back and you know, not out until four in the

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 1>morning ever, But like, and how long have you guys

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>been dating? A little over a year? Okay, so he

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>must have some sense of your past, right, Yeah, but

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it was also COVID and so weird. You know, shut

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>indoors a lot, and then now that things are opening up,

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it's proving to kind of open a like a different door.

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Almost did something make you feel like, oh wait, maybe

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>he's not loving this information or something? Did something happen? No,

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say exactly something happened, but you know, whenever

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>telling a story and like everyone kind of is quiet afterwards,

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, ok, maybe like should have released that information,

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>or like a friend is telling a story and I'm like,

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe I don't want my boyfriend to know that happened.

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's more more just like me feeling not

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>almost feeling bad. I think it's my own personal struggle

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>rather than like an external one. Yeah. I mean, I

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone loves to hear voluminous stories about someone's

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>ex like how many people you've slept with? Like that's

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>not really something that anyone wants to hear. So there's

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>no reason to really even get into that detailed, just

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>almost out of respect for the relationship. You don't want to, like,

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, nobody wants to hear that. If and I

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>asked my boyfriend about anything in his past which I

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>am curious about, he refuses to tell me. He's like,

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm never wasting energy talking about any of those people. Yeah,

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't even exist anymore. Yeah, it's so in

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the past. But I mean, you going out and parting

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and having a good time. I think it's fine. I

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think it always has to lead to You don't

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 1>have to divulge that information to him. It doesn't necessarily

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>empower anybody to know that their person beforehand was out

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and about and sleeping around. You're totally you know, everyone's

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed to do that, of course, but it's definitely not

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a necessary thing you want to do. I would definitely

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I would parse those stories too, because you're not lying.

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It's almost kind of you're lying for their benefit, and

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you're not lying, you're withholding really well, I've been told

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>a mission is also lying. Yeah, I agree with you.

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't need to share all this stuff.

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It was it's a journey it's a journey and he

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there for it, so he doesn't need to, you know,

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't need to be a part of it. It

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds also like you are kind of starting a new

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>phase in your life, not a new phase, and not

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>like you're gonna not do stuff that you like or

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>have fun or get wild or be loose over again.

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But maybe it's a little bit more balanced with him,

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and maybe those stories are just like their stories from

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the past, from when you weren't really that person, or

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you were just young, younger and you're wiser and you know,

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 1>older a little bit more, and it's just a journey

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that you've been on. And also he's probably gonna see

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, so he's gonna know, hey, what's up. Yeah,

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we have a ton of straight guys listening to this podcast. Exactly.

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I would just say to your friends, like they're telling

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>these stories because they're kind of trying to brag on you, right,

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to say, like, look, how fun she is,

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>she's the best. These are these crazy stories. Maybe just

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>tell them like, hey, let's keep the hookups to a minimum,

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>but like tell other fun stories about me. Yeah, and

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you won't be like my friend who did exactly

0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the opposite. When I told her not to, she was also, yeah,

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that was she was having a hard night that night.

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't blame her because I couldn't otherwise it

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>would be too ridiculous. I told my girlfriend basically to

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>recap when I said earlier, I was like, Hey, my

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend doesn't do drugs, don't tell too many drugs stories

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>about me. And then she proceeded to go from country

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to country to country about different drugs we did in

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>countries where they're those drugs aren't legal anyway. So she's

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 1>hurting me on two levels. But yeah, I think what

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Katie said is is right. You're in a different part

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>of your life too, and that's also worth mentioning, you know,

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>at certain points in your relationship, like I'm so glad

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I met you at this time in my life, Like

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm finally mature enough to appreciate this relationship, to reinforce

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that that behavior is kind of not necessarily a thing

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 1>of the past, but more of like part of who

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you were before you met him. And now you're going

0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>into this phase. Obviously you're not going to go around

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 1>hooking up like that when you're in a new relationship

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>or a newer relationship, I should say, but there's no

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 1>reason to go into detail about any of that stuff.

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Just one little thing to add. I mean, how young

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>are you, Stephanie. I'm seven, Okay, Okay, you're getting to

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that you're getting to that age where like you're starting

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to have real serious commitment relationships or half or every

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 1>relationship starts to feel like more serious. But I would

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 1>just say, in the relationship I'm in now, I've never

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>been more myself than I have, and that feels so good.

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 1>And I've been in other relationships where I've had to

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 1>hide parts of myself and play second fiddle or just

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>be smaller or like hiding right, and it all, it

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 1>all starts to like erupt. It becomes a volcano and

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes out, and it becomes hysterical. And because you've

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:16.719
<v Speaker 1>suppressed it for so long. So if there's a way,

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>especially since you're in the new party relationship, where you

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>can kind of like drip feed him some of the

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:25.719
<v Speaker 1>truth so that it doesn't all explode at once, because

0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you've been like trying to play a different part just

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>so you can keep the relationship together. You know, I

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>think there'll probably be a lot more acceptance, um, and

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.360
<v Speaker 1>it may not scare him as much. The truth really

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>is a cliche in that if he doesn't love you

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>for who you are, he's really not for you. Yeah,

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>which doesn't mean you have to frontload it. I think

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what she's saying is right. Drip feeding is the best

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>way to be like accountable. So you're not a liar,

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. But you're also not over divulging.

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, just be sensitive. It's like, think about

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>how you would feel if you heard about all the

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>girls he hooked up with. It's not necessary, yeah yeah, yeah,

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely not giving him a laundry list, yeah yeah, But

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 1>but you know, continue to be who you are and

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're not apologizing for anything you did in

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the past, because that's you don't know anybody in apology

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>for anything. You don't owe people first and last names either,

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes we don't remember those last names. You know,

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't owe anybody that either. You're like you when

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 1>you make the list in your twenties, are like, how

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:27.799
<v Speaker 1>about when you make the list in your twenties and

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you make it with it like you're with a girlfriends,

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you're a grip of girlfriends. And then the next morning

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you're like, wait, I forgot three people that came to me.

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And then the next day I'm like, fuck, I forgot

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 1>three more people. Now, whenever I make any lists, I'm like,

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I said to my assist. We were I'm hosting Jimmy

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Kill for the week. She goes put together a list

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 1>of who you'd like to interview on the guest And

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I made a list and then I was like, don't

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>send that yet. I'm like, I'll come up with like

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 1>any more names as I think about it. You know,

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like you have to keep your list going. So when

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you make a list, give yourself three days for that list.

0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, thank you so much, thanks for calling in.

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Good luck by. She made it sound like she just

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 1>like lived at Marty Gras for the first twenty years

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of her life, and wouldn't that be fun? Yeah? Penetration

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:21.880
<v Speaker 1>pussy land, Yeah, the p p P. Isn't that what

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 1>they were called? The no PPE your paychecks for COVID

0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Was that PPE or that the Protective gear Payment Protection Plan?

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 1>That was not to be confused with penetration? What was

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>the word land? That's your land? My land in Las

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Vegas is Peri Playland. Please come visit? Yes, Hers, Yes,

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 1>please come visit. Well. Our next question comes from Paige.

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Paige says, Dear Chelsea, in a recent episode with Bobby Burke,

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned that you used to resort to yelling in arguments,

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 1>but have since turned the corner. I try sometimes. I

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 1>feel I'm in a relationship over a year with a

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 1>man I completely adore, but I'm a hothead and I

0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:23.399
<v Speaker 1>often yell, like really yell. It's causing a huge rift

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 1>in our progress, and I'm looking for practical ways to stop.

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been in therapy on and off for years, and

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm frustrated that I keep getting the same old, just

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>be mindful answer. I definitely try every day and have

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:38.200
<v Speaker 1>for decades. Do you have any other practical advice books

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 1>or workshops you'd recommend? Thank you from your fellow blonde haired,

0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>big breasted woman page. She's in good company today. We

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 1>all have on that first here, Katie. Do you want

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to go first or shall I? It sounds like you've

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 1>got some rolling. Well, I just talked to my therapist

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>about this very issue. My boyfriend and I went to

0:36:56.440 --> 0:37:00.080
<v Speaker 1>our first therapy session together because I would like to you,

0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 1>you lifted up your arm because you're about to divulge

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>your boyfriend. That's a big one with my regular therapist though,

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:08.879
<v Speaker 1>like if this is the guy I used to see

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>all the time and I haven't seen him in a while,

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 1>but we wanted to I wanted to learn about communications. No,

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 1>everything we talked about starts with a P on this

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:22.560
<v Speaker 1>part page. But he explained something that was very foundational

0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and like good for everyone to remember. When you are

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.759
<v Speaker 1>in a reaction mode, which is when you're yelling, you

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:32.359
<v Speaker 1>are not You're not getting anywhere. It is pointless to yell.

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, think about being yelled at, and think about

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>yelling at a child, like you are never going to

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>get what you want out of somebody by yelling at them.

0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't work. So you have to calm down, You

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 1>have to take your time out, whatever you want to

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 1>call that. I say, I need a coconut, which means

0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I need a time out so I can calm down

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and get into reception which means yes, I put out

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 1>some reggae and you get into receiving mode instead of

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 1>reactive mode. And when you're when you are reactive, nothing

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>can be solved in that moment of anger when you

0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.080
<v Speaker 1>are anger and you're yelling. Also, something to remember about

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:11.320
<v Speaker 1>yelling is it's a complete loss of control. Like anytime

0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 1>you yell, you have lost control, and so do you

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.239
<v Speaker 1>really want to be perceived as losing control all the time.

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 1>It's better to like think about it, internalize it. Go

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:23.880
<v Speaker 1>sit by yourself, whether it's two minutes or twenty minutes

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>or a day, whatever you need until you can get

0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:31.280
<v Speaker 1>back to a place of reception and receiving and just go, okay,

0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to hear what you're saying. And if there's

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>just no reason to let it escalate like that, because

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.640
<v Speaker 1>nobody likes to get yelled at, and you're gonna push

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 1>somebody away by doing that, I agree. That's a lot

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of self control. God bless you. And you've been in

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 1>this relationship for how long? Shut up? Well, everything is

0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in the honeymoon phase. We're just we're actually just phasing

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>out of honeymoon phase. I have found that she's like

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I found yelling to be very effective. I found that,

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know it sounds also like a cliche,

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:06.759
<v Speaker 1>but like three deep breaths in through the nose and

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 1>out through the mouth, just like expands your options in

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>your brain to think differently than just like red red,

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>red red. And yeah, I think you were correct about

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole, Like I know what it feels like to

0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 1>have been yelled at as like a child, so like

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.800
<v Speaker 1>remembering that and kind of going, oh, that never worked

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 1>with me, and knowing it's not going to work with

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the other person. Although your partners usually see your best

0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of your worst sides because they're there

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to be your mirrors. Orlando and I do couples therapy

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and we love it because it just keeps us like

0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in tune, and the resentment can get really strong when

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:48.839
<v Speaker 1>you're both working hard and God bless successful people in

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the in the spotlight. And so when you want to

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 1>come back to being normal in a domesticated world where

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 1>you have a child and stuff like that, you have

0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to like really learn how to be kind of different

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>out there in the big and in the small and

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.839
<v Speaker 1>so um, we've had a lot of success with that

0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:09.280
<v Speaker 1>couples therapy. But she asked if there's like a treatment

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:11.839
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. I went to this place. I'm

0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 1>sure you've heard of it called the Hoffman Process. Yeah,

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and I went there. Orlando went before me, was this

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>when you guys were buried? He went no when we

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>were dating, so he came back after going and wasn't

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 1>leaning into all of my bullshit, and so it was boring.

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:31.439
<v Speaker 1>It became boring, and I was like, we're breaking up then,

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And then I had the worst year of my life,

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 1>not just because the relationship, just a lot of different

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 1>things were changing and shifting from me, which I really

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 1>truly believe was an opportunity for me to evolve and grow.

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be like, here we are at the fork

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.279
<v Speaker 1>in the road. You're gonna take an hour? Are you're

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna take an r you know? And so a year

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:50.440
<v Speaker 1>later I went to the Hoffman Process, and it is

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.360
<v Speaker 1>amazing because it's a week long process, which they do

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 1>give scholarships out. It's it's kind of expensive, but I

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 1>would say it's the best value. You have no cell

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>phone and you just go kind of deep through different

0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>exercises with other people actually, which is great because they

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>trigger you the whole time and then you work on

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:12.319
<v Speaker 1>those triggers. But basically, it's a place you get to

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 1>go to where you rewire the neuropathways in your mind

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and you get to the you basically get to discover

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 1>there's so much awareness. You get to discover why you

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>have these patterns and habits and where they're coming from.

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:28.000
<v Speaker 1>And all of it's either coming from mom or it's

0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:32.200
<v Speaker 1>coming from that. So like if you're yelling, who yelled

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 1>at you? And it's it's a learned thing. Everything that

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>all the kids, like your your babies, they're really just

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 1>regurgitating everything they see and from you. So it's really

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.360
<v Speaker 1>about the patterns um of our parents that you adopted,

0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and so you rewire those patterns to have to have

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 1>better success at life. And it profoundly changed my life.

0:41:57.480 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 1>It's like the number one thing I always recommend when

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:04.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody is ready for that next level in life, for

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that shift if they're just over just like feeling stock

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>or depressed or traumatized or just like, uh, you know,

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:15.799
<v Speaker 1>they're like, there's gotta be more to to life. This

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is like this, I feel like it's where you find consciousness.

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:22.719
<v Speaker 1>It's where you find so much profound awareness and it's great.

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't recommend it more. Yeah, I've heard a lot

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of great things about the Hoffman Institute. Is a Hoffman

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Institute has process. Another thing to remember is when you

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:34.240
<v Speaker 1>are in that state of yelling, when you're in flight,

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.719
<v Speaker 1>fight or freeze, which are those like things where you're

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:41.359
<v Speaker 1>being attacked or attacking, you're not in a place. If

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you're in any of those moments, you're not in a

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>place to discuss the matter. That's when you need a

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 1>time out. If you feel like fighting, if you feel

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.440
<v Speaker 1>like retreating and running away, or if you feel like

0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you're frozen. Those are three things to remember that you

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 1>need to take a time out. And so I would

0:42:56.840 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 1>just really really recommend that you work hard on your yelling.

0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:03.080
<v Speaker 1>And if your therapist doesn't think that that's a problem,

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you might need to find a new therapist that pushes

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit more, yeah, or digs a little

0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>bit deeper. Yeah, because that's basic, Like yeah, mindfulness, mindfulness, mindfulness,

0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's I love mindfulness, but like let's get

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:18.080
<v Speaker 1>into the nitty gritty, Yeah, get under the hood. You know.

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Have you been in any really big arguments with your partner? Yeah? Yeah,

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:25.399
<v Speaker 1>we had one big one, which is why we ended

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 1>up going to therapy because I was like, well, let's

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.720
<v Speaker 1>nip this in the bud right away. I want to always,

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, improve on my communication, and I'm an over

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 1>communicator where he's an under communicator. But he's never had

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's somebody who's mad and doesn't say anything

0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>for three weeks and then it blows up and you're like,

0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 1>what was this about. He's like when we were in Whistler.

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Whistler, that was like a fucking months ago,

0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:53.279
<v Speaker 1>months ago, Like wait what So immediately not because he

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>keeps therapy. He loves the less exactly. It's because we

0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:59.680
<v Speaker 1>need it, you know, as a couple and as my

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>therapy be said. You know, you're a Orlando's B together,

0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you're a B. That's a different language than what you

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>do by yourself and what Orlando does for himself. So

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>like you and your partner are two separate entities, but

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.600
<v Speaker 1>when you come together, you have to be mindful of

0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's not you. He's a completely separate

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 1>person that needs to be treated with like kindness and respect.

0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:22.080
<v Speaker 1>One other book actually that I would recommend to her

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is The Dance of Anger. That's one to read a

0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:29.239
<v Speaker 1>sad because it helps with dealing with anger all that

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:32.319
<v Speaker 1>stuff that comes up. But also like one of the

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 1>pieces of advice I always give to people who are

0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:38.000
<v Speaker 1>getting married, is do go to bed angry. I find

0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that for us, like my husband and I are both yellers,

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and I find that like we can get in these

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:47.799
<v Speaker 1>circular things when we're tired or yes, tired, hungry or

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:49.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little tipsy or whatever, and if you just

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.000
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep, you wake up and you're like, what

0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>were we fighting about? And you're just like well rested

0:44:54.640 --> 0:44:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and its better, Like I'm always like so much nicer

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in the morning if I've gotten you know, seven is

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 1>showers of sleep. You wake up and you're like, how

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 1>can I like look at you and still be pissed.

0:45:07.520 --> 0:45:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna like give me, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>try for the first five minutes. But if you're still cold,

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna go back. Yeah. Right, But if you

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 1>decide to meet me on that soft suite halfway, then

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:24.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be like Because some people, like my boyfriend,

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:26.600
<v Speaker 1>can't go to bed angry. They need to talk it out.

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.239
<v Speaker 1>They want to talk it out talk talk talk, talk talk,

0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's like that that is a personality trait too,

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 1>So you have to be respectful when people do want

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to do that, like I do want to go to

0:45:35.880 --> 0:45:39.800
<v Speaker 1>bed also and be like I'll see you tomorrow. But

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:42.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, with him, he's so sensitive that like I

0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>have to sit there with him and like, you know,

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 1>figure it out together, which you know is good. I'm

0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 1>glad I have to be outside of my comfort zone

0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and and compromise. Yeah, that's growth, Yeah, evolution, evolution, It's

0:45:56.200 --> 0:46:00.279
<v Speaker 1>a life worth living. So there you go. Problem solved. YEA.

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Well we'll take a quick break for some ads and

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be back with Chelsea and Katie and where Katie fantastic? Well, Katie,

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was there any advice that you wanted to ask for

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:23.160
<v Speaker 1>from Chelsea? Oh? That's good, yes, thank you. Do you

0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>find it's different for you compared to your male counterparts.

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you find that there's a certain line not to cross,

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:36.040
<v Speaker 1>or that some people can be spicier comedians. Do you

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>find if you started out really spicy, you can stay

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 1>spicy your whole life or do you kind of have

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:46.279
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit more aware or what I mean?

0:46:46.360 --> 0:46:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know the boundaries that have been

0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>put in or the parameters that have been placed, you know,

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:54.160
<v Speaker 1>on performers and especially comedians, Like I don't have a

0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.760
<v Speaker 1>problem with that. I like that that that forces you

0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>to be more clever in my opinion, you know, it

0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:01.719
<v Speaker 1>forces you to think outside of your own experience and

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to focus on the real issue at hand. Like for

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 1>me right now, what I'm doing in my set, it's like,

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm talking not only but this is a

0:47:09.560 --> 0:47:12.719
<v Speaker 1>big issue, is talking to white men about their resistance

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 1>to accepting all different walks of life, like they are

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the only people kind of prolonging this, this this cancel culture,

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, the resistance to the cancel culture and arguing

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 1>with it, like you know, we're not being sexist or

0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not being racist. It's like, hey, you're not the

0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 1>judge of who's being treated in a racist or sexist way.

0:47:33.560 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 1>As an individual white male, your opinion is relevant because

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you're not the victim of it. You're the perpetrator. And

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:40.879
<v Speaker 1>that's not to say every man is a perpetrator, because

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.359
<v Speaker 1>certainly that isn't the case. Not all men are bad.

0:47:43.640 --> 0:47:45.880
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's important to bring attention to the

0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:49.280
<v Speaker 1>subjects that we're all kind of tiptoeing around because people

0:47:49.280 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say the wrong thing. It's like, it's

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>about I think it's a responsibility for every comedian to

0:47:55.200 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 1>lift up all the people that aren't getting that kind

0:47:57.440 --> 0:47:59.919
<v Speaker 1>of respect, that aren't being treated like a white male

0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:02.959
<v Speaker 1>that you know, like the entire trans community, the entire

0:48:03.040 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 1>LGBTQ community. It's like it is you know some people.

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I have just had this conversation with this weekend with

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>the comic and he's like, it's not my responsibility. He goes,

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I accept them. I don't have to sing their praises.

0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I go, acceptance isn't enough. You have a platform that

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are listening to and they're taking

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:21.480
<v Speaker 1>your lead on things, and by not going abad for

0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>those people, you're missing a huge opportunity for accepted. Like

0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 1>if you accept them, then how many other thousands, millions

0:48:30.239 --> 0:48:33.399
<v Speaker 1>of people are going to accept them? Right? So, and

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:35.359
<v Speaker 1>he was like, well, I didn't think about it that way.

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:36.759
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I know you didn't think about it

0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that way, and you're not a bad guy, But being

0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:42.879
<v Speaker 1>accepting of a certain lifestyle in this climate, I don't

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 1>think it's enough. I think you actively have to speak

0:48:45.880 --> 0:48:48.720
<v Speaker 1>out about it, and you actively have to let about

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the injustice, about the injustice about being welcoming to people

0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:55.040
<v Speaker 1>so that they feel included, that they don't feel like

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you know you, how would you feel if that was

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.240
<v Speaker 1>your child that had to come out to her parents

0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:01.720
<v Speaker 1>because you wanted to transition to become a man, because

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:03.560
<v Speaker 1>she feels like she was born in the wrong body, Like,

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>how would you do? How would you do that? How

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:07.680
<v Speaker 1>would you deal with that if you were your child?

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:10.520
<v Speaker 1>You have to think about that on a global level, right,

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you want to be compassionate and empathetic to everybody,

0:49:14.840 --> 0:49:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and especially the people that have the biggest targets on

0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>their back and are the most discriminated against. And then

0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 1>he was like, well, you're giving white guys such a

0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 1>hard time. I'm like, because you guys are the last

0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:28.440
<v Speaker 1>line of defense. You're in charge of everything. So if

0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't move you, we're doing it all by ourselves.

0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:34.799
<v Speaker 1>All like marginalized groups have to help each other, right,

0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So what if we just got enough of you guys

0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to get on board, and you should be you should

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:43.520
<v Speaker 1>be fighting for our rights. It's you know, economically, all

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:46.160
<v Speaker 1>this data backs up. You know everybody does better when

0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:49.799
<v Speaker 1>everybody does better, not when there's divisiveness. So I don't

0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:51.880
<v Speaker 1>know if that answers your question. Really, I mean, I

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:54.879
<v Speaker 1>think it like kind of circles your question because that's

0:49:54.920 --> 0:49:57.520
<v Speaker 1>my focus has I think what I've learned from this

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.000
<v Speaker 1>whole movement in the last four to five years, between

0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:03.359
<v Speaker 1>times up between me too, between what we've learned about

0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:06.960
<v Speaker 1>men and everything, the advantages that they've gotten just by

0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:10.040
<v Speaker 1>being white males. I think it is I have a

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:13.240
<v Speaker 1>sense of responsibility to buck against you know, and say, hey,

0:50:13.239 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 1>this isn't enough. You know, you got to do better. Yeah.

0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think your messaging, well, your comedy is funny messaging,

0:50:19.880 --> 0:50:22.799
<v Speaker 1>but it's layered. I think we all get into this

0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:24.520
<v Speaker 1>may because we want to tell a story, we want

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to represent someone or or what I see from you

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:29.719
<v Speaker 1>is you've gone from like okay, how do I get

0:50:29.760 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that laugh too? How do I like leave my mark,

0:50:32.400 --> 0:50:36.480
<v Speaker 1>or how do I help a situation or influence some change? Yeah,

0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 1>in folk thought right, in your in your way, in

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 1>your funny kind of like pokey way. It's fun. It's

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a it's a fun way to poke the bear. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.

0:50:48.880 --> 0:50:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I wish I didn't have I mean, you know, we

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:52.440
<v Speaker 1>all wish we didn't have to. I wish there were

0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:54.440
<v Speaker 1>no rules that everyone can do whatever they want. But

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:57.359
<v Speaker 1>we've learned that look where we are today, that doesn't work.

0:50:57.520 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 1>We have to be sensitive. You know. My my trainer

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:01.759
<v Speaker 1>this morning goes, I just heard a story about this

0:51:01.840 --> 0:51:04.040
<v Speaker 1>kid at school. They don't even they don't even you know,

0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:07.560
<v Speaker 1>use points at sports in school anymore. They don't. There's

0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:10.719
<v Speaker 1>no scoring. Everybody's getting so soft. I go, maybe because

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:13.919
<v Speaker 1>we're too hard. You know. I don't have kids, so

0:51:14.080 --> 0:51:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that. But like where whatever we've done

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:19.520
<v Speaker 1>is it got us to this place, which isn't the

0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>best view of America. A lot of a lot of

0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that is content and comments. A lot of that's like

0:51:26.840 --> 0:51:30.279
<v Speaker 1>never ever, you know, in the history of civilization where

0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>we ever supposed to, you know, digest and consume everyone's

0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:39.240
<v Speaker 1>opinion all at once. Yes, So I mean that's really

0:51:39.280 --> 0:51:43.840
<v Speaker 1>how to profound change on our our minds and our wellness,

0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:46.440
<v Speaker 1>our mental wellness. How do you handle that aspect of

0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:50.480
<v Speaker 1>everything like social media? Reading things about yourself articles, What

0:51:50.640 --> 0:51:53.960
<v Speaker 1>is your philosophy on that? Well? I used to get

0:51:54.000 --> 0:51:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to me, but I don't read it really, And I

0:51:56.680 --> 0:51:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like to say, I post and ghost these days, so

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really scrolling anymore. And every once in a

0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:05.200
<v Speaker 1>while I'll engage, But it's it's so you know, I

0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:09.880
<v Speaker 1>personally think WWWE stands for wild Wild West. It's wild

0:52:09.920 --> 0:52:12.520
<v Speaker 1>out there on the internet. You can, you know, you

0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:15.280
<v Speaker 1>can have your confidence taken away from you in a second.

0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 1>You can have your career taken away for you. It's

0:52:17.320 --> 0:52:20.240
<v Speaker 1>wild out there, so you really have to navigate well.

0:52:20.880 --> 0:52:23.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I just have a lot of compassion

0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:25.600
<v Speaker 1>for these young kids that are going through it, that

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:30.080
<v Speaker 1>have thirteen to twenty followers that are all in their classroom,

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's like they go through so much emotion if

0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:38.240
<v Speaker 1>someone doesn't like, or someone doesn't comment, or someone does comment,

0:52:38.480 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>or someone blocks. I mean, it's the end of their world,

0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I and not to compare, but just

0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to say, like, I mean, you should see the the

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:49.839
<v Speaker 1>crazy shit I've had to block, you know, or like

0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:52.319
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen, or because come at me, or the

0:52:52.760 --> 0:52:57.000
<v Speaker 1>photoshop of some dark ass ship. Right, But it's really

0:52:57.040 --> 0:53:00.799
<v Speaker 1>shaping these young kids minds and and they or how

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:03.239
<v Speaker 1>they are in life, whether that is I think they're

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 1>hit over the head a lot on social media every

0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:08.400
<v Speaker 1>single day, and so when they go into the real

0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>world then they feel fragile already because of you know,

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:14.480
<v Speaker 1>there are a few hours every day that they are

0:53:14.520 --> 0:53:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on social media. It's not building a confidence, it's breaking

0:53:17.719 --> 0:53:19.800
<v Speaker 1>down their confidence. So when they get into the real world,

0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:23.000
<v Speaker 1>they really don't have any confidence. Man, gen Z has

0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it rough. I don't know. I'm so confused by every generation.

0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm like jen Is jen X after gen Z. Well,

0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:34.759
<v Speaker 1>my daughter's alphaeration new generation. Yeah, I just got her

0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:37.359
<v Speaker 1>work cut out for her. Yeah, she does, she does,

0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully she's got some some good representation that you

0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:44.680
<v Speaker 1>know that goes to therapy and gets advice from Chelsea

0:54:17.280 --> 0:54:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you said, you said you like an over communicator. You

0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:24.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely like let people know what what, what to do,

0:54:24.320 --> 0:54:26.719

0:54:39.840 --> 0:54:42.640
<v Speaker 1>other too much of the truth. Who cares? Great, I

0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:46.120
<v Speaker 1>mean there's a lack of truth. Don't tell Joe. Yeah, great?
