My 332 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: my disease, which is a good disease to have, is 333 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: that I'm finally placed in life where I know that 334 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: like calling any old lowry side person to come over 335 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: isn't gonnake me feel better. I know, and it actually 336 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: might make me feel worse. It used to be moment momentary, 337 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: momentary momentary. It used to be momentary relief, and now 338 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: it's actually offers no relief. And now my only relief 339 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: is when I wake up and I know that I 340 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: have not eaten late or done anything stupid, and that's 341 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: the only relief. After hooking up a bunch of l A, 342 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: I was where you were now and I am having 343 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: the opposite reaction where I'm like let's I'm not like 344 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: let's be alone, and I'm like, let's do it more. Yeah, 345 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: And that's trying to be a nuts I think, Yeah, 346 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: disease bad. Last time you said each other's diseases. I 347 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: don't know what my disease is. Right you are right 348 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: now is like it's priorities, it's it's self sabotaged. I 349 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: think it's priorities bad. It's Um, I'm sabotaging myself a 350 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: lot right now. I feel overwhelmed and I feel, um, 351 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to show up for a thing. I 352 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: think your disease also is that you're actually being a 353 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: little hard in yourself and not realizing that you're actually 354 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: doing really well. Yeah, and you have a lot of you. 355 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: You actually now have a lot of things you've been wanting. 356 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: That's I'm not just talking about love. I'm talking about 357 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: life and also, Pat, I think sometimes these things that 358 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: overwhelm you, I think sometimes it's the way you're thinking 359 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: about them. I think some of the things could be fun. 360 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: Like I think like sitting down to write something that 361 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: you like could be fun And don't be insane. I 362 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: have been right now, don't anyone tell me writing so 363 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: I actually have a great time doing it. I have 364 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: been sorry everything. I'm not talking about writing. When I 365 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: say that, what, um, just like schedule stuff? Well, because 366 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: I had a feeling this is what Because it sounds 367 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: like you have schedule anxiety, that you're overwhelmed with that stuff. 368 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: And this is the thing, Pat, like any belief that 369 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: you have about you're you're like load. It's like I mean, yes, 370 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: like there are like actual at about my disease. I'm 371 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: sure they're like actual like limits to how much you 372 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: can do in one day. But also like you believing 373 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: yourself to be overwhelmed is like kind of an invention. 374 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: Maybe have munchausens, And I think, I'm that's not I 375 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: know you are.

We had fun trips. 392 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: That trip was sure, but my Bertie apparently hasn't traveled 393 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: to Pat and Cat's ears. I didn't hear that. I 394 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: only heard that about UM. I think your disease, going 395 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: back to pats disease. UM, try to imagine yourself like 396 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: maybe not feeling over. I know, no, I know, you're 397 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. I just feel like every time 398 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: I start doing something, I have to stop doing it 399 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: and go to my next thing. I don't wait. We 400 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: have to shout out Tammy Sager because she recommended a 401 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: book to me called Steering by Starlight and it's very 402 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: it's very new agic cookie language, but the writer is 403 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: very self aware about it, has a very fun sense 404 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: of humor about it. And it's actually I hear Tammy 405 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: and on every single page and it's like really being 406 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: it's it's a very helpful tool right now. But the 407 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: messages like UM, pretend like you've already wont and it's 408 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: not delusion. It's actually like a helpful way to like 409 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: melt away any kind of like invented belief that you have. 410 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: I also feel I kind of was just saying that 411 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't feel particularly reflected by disease 412 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: right now, right, Yeah, your disease is that you are 413 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: not disease. Disease. What's your disease book? Um, I might 414 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: actually have that same disease as I don't know, well, 415 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: the same disease last time? Did we similar disease? St 416 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: James at the time, the same word. I'm just um, 417 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm horny all the time. I am different O. No, no, no, well, 418 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm clinging to an old thing. Yes, in my in 419 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: my romantic past, and I have not really let to go. 420 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: I tell you something. Yeah, when we were at the Rose, 421 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: not recently, Yes, I accidentally looked over your shoulder and 422 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: it's how you're texting, And I was like, you don't 423 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: have gone to an old thing. And that's even a 424 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: different thing. You saw me texting holding holding like like 425 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: this kind of like two things that are happening at 426 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: the same time that I've never let anyone go, and 427 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: I've never gotten over a single person in my life. 428 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: Thank you. It's impossible because we love you deeply, too much, 429 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: too hardly. Hardly, madly, deeply, hardly, madly, deeply, Oh my god, 430 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: I think it's time to get into the email. I 431 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: know I have questions like I need how you need 432 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: to know? Stop it, stop it. This isn't our role, 433 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: as Pats eloquently put on his Twitter, we are sister 434 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: wives too, and our husband is the audience, the collective listener, 435 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: and it's the wife's job to give advice. And so 436 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: before we begin, I just want to say that anyone 437 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: listening that I've been involved with him over you wait, 438 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: tell me about just quickly. Are you interested in one 439 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: person particular and loss. I think it's going to be 440 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: a different person that I'm interested in every two and 441 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: a half days. Well, and then someone serious. I don't 442 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: think I want someone serious. I want to be having 443 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: consistent fun with one other person, because the whole bouncing around. 444 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: One day we're one thing, and then the next day 445 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: you act weird like I don't want to do the games. Truly, 446 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that rogers consistent fun fun. But it's 447 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: also a disease in people in l who are just 448 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: like that. I don't necessarily think it's I don't think 449 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: it is specific to people an L that happens. I 450 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: think it's when you go to a new city you 451 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: can see it all clearly. I think people from L 452 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: come to end and then they say, oh gosh, what 453 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: is this. And I think people from C. Of course 454 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: Columbus would go to somewhere like see of course Chicago 455 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: and it would say the same thing. And of course 456 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: people in D of course culture is just different and 457 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: there's no value statement on either one. Um I would 458 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: say that here, okay, here, here, here's my academic there's 459 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: my academic way of saying it. I think the patriarchy 460 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: is affecting the gay community in a crazy way because 461 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: I think that we all are in this middle area 462 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: of being Buddha judges where it's like I'm going to 463 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: be like a perfect little like like have my little 464 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: relationship and it's gonna be perfect, and we're looking for that, 465 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: and then like there's no gray area with other relationships, 466 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: and then otherwise it's like no, I just want to 467 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: funk all the time, and people are scared, are like 468 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: upset because they're working all the time. So it's hard 469 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: to find the middle ground because there's no precedent for it. 470 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: And the gay community, do you know what I mean, 471 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: that makes sense. This isn't saying I know what are 472 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: you having? Nicotine guns? Just gave me thee. I don't 473 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: know how this. My boyfriend has to have it, and 474 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: I gave it and he threw up from it, and 475 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: so we always pretty it at the time he odeed 476 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: early on the relationship. Oh my god, that's really funny. 477 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: This is great. That's the craziest thing I've ever put in. 478 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: I know I had to work up to this level. 479 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: I know it's bad. It's about that. My disease is 480 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: nicotine addiction. And it's funny. I'm specifically having nicotine cessation products, 481 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: and so I need nicotine cessation cessation and that's something 482 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: they call it double And I need to figure animal style. 483 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: It's in and out um, and I should have known. Um. 484 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: Tensions are right now? Yeah, wait why I don't know. 485 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: I finally just unminded. Not your tense now, I am. 486 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: I don't know to understand what you said about. It's literally, 487 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: what's the way the time needs have? I don't know. 488 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm figuring out every second.

Still well, now we're like friends, 525 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: allowed to be friends with him? Actually, but actually he's 526 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: he has he has the most disease.

You enjoy 530 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: hanging out with him? Yeah, But it's also like in 531 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: the back of my mind, I have to ask myself, 532 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: like am I doing the healthy thing for me or 533 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: am I trying to be cool?

And my thing 655 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,479 Speaker 1: is like when you say that, you build on that show, 656 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: like and whenever Bowen builds on shows, and you have 657 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: a tendency to like at least ask me if you 658 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: should bail on shows. I always say, like, no, it's inconsiderate. 659 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: It's very to me. It's like like to me, it's 660 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: like and with you, it's for you. With For a 661 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: little while there it was a pattern and I was like, 662 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: you will develop a rightfully earned reputation as someone who 663 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: is unreliable if you keep doing this. So I guess 664 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: that would be like yeah, for me, it's like if 665 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: something you don't care about, that's a fair consequence. But 666 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: it's not like I was like, I was just like, 667 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: I can't do this tonight, so I'm not right right, 668 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: right right. That was just what it was that day. 669 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: It's it's tricky for me, you know what I mean, 670 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: like because I didn't failing to also trying. I'm trying 671 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: to say no to more to make room for and 672 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: that's it. But I'm in the transition where I've been. 673 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: I've said no and I haven't yet replaced it, as 674 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm having kind of this like waiting around saying no 675 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,439 Speaker 1: is the replacement though, right is replacing bailing? I think, yeah, 676 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: I think that, Um, it's one thing if it's like 677 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: I look at it the same as like if you 678 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: get caught in a bus and saying I can't get there, 679 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: it's like today it's not gonna work out. Yeah, And 680 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: I try to be like next time, I'm going to 681 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: be more discordering about how much I say yes do. 682 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: I think that is like a big thing that like 683 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 1: I remember deciding to do. It was like there's I 684 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: think we all go to that thing where it's like 685 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: in this town, industry community place, we say like I'm 686 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: gonna do a lot of stuff because it's all available 687 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: to me to do, and then you overbook your schedule 688 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: and it's like psycho and then you're like I don't 689 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: want to do any of it, and you go in 690 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: and and then you just started to say no oh 691 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: to more things, and you give yourself the space to 692 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: do ship that you actually want to do when everything 693 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: gets and I asked, I feel like I'm have a 694 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: good answer for this. What do you think is that 695 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: the most sophisticated mind way to say I can't because 696 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm too busy or because I'm making time for other things. 697 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god. First of all, thank you for thinking 698 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: that I would have a goodia. Yeah, I don't think 699 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: he's going to have a good answer. Well, oh well, 700 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: this is I have not developed a sophisticated way around 701 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: this a good phrase. But what I say is I'm out, 702 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: I'll be traveling. That's a lot. Yeah. But also it's 703 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: like nips it in the bud.

You know 719 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: you did, and I said you were developing, which you were, 720 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: And tell me I'm wrong. I don't know that that's 721 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: a trade off. That's the decision that you make. It's like, 722 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm kidding and and this is 723 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: honestly because actually I am someone who have lies.

Thus dick Packeden 737 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 1: was born. We've got to sexually interact with five dicks 738 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: we have never seen before before one one twenty January, 739 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: and we are currently in April, the month of our 740 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: Lord fruitless and failing miserably. What advice do you have 741 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: for two pruds who aren't necessarily sex negative parentheses, but 742 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: proud of Pat who is in a gorge relation but 743 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: aren't good at getting the d Lilah is sexless in Tulsa.

Yeah, man, Catherine 746 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: run into that. We've hadn't I had some tricky times. 747 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: If we both wanted to get some, it's not going 748 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: to happen. I don't think it's a good comment. You 749 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: have to invest in one person. I think for me, 750 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: like I need to call the girls. It's got to 751 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: be the girls. Has to be the girl and the girls. 752 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: If you're gay, that means you're gays. Yeah, that is 753 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: what that means the translation I think. Or even if 754 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: I've gone out like alone, like when I famously met 755 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: the bisexual maybe scored three times and ghosted me like 756 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: I was alone at a bar, I think that. Um. 757 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: I think that literally, you just have to be forward. 758 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: If you're in a gay club space, you have to 759 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: go and knowing eight percent the people you are trying 760 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: to suck at least or at least suck you have 761 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: to go and then you just can't be the person 762 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: like I'm with someone who will like there's always like 763 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: a Shaye lounge type device at a gay club. But 764 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: you sit on this and see if anyone comes up 765 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: to me and they were there for five but no, 766 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: they don't find my experience. They don't. And then like, 767 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: but if you're the first them will go up to 768 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: someone like rub their chest, like you will go home 769 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: with someone and you can't be that piggy unless you can't, 770 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: you have congratulations. I would say that if you lower 771 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: your defenses and are around other people with their defense 772 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: is lowered.

Or if you want 776 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: to dance a little bit and you go to a 777 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: dance place and don't even drink, just dance and that 778 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: lowers your defense is a little bit. Just being in 779 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: a place where that is a breeding ground for this 780 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: kind of thing, it will happen.

But I was like, let me just try 818 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,240 Speaker 1: this this time. I'll walk up to the bar, pretend 819 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: like I've already won. And then I just like fucking 820 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 1: propped my elbows onto this bar and just like chilled, 821 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: wasn't looking at my phone and was just like, this 822 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: is nice. He'll come to me eventually, the bar, the bartender, 823 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: and then he did, and then I got my drink, 824 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 1: and then the vibe I gave off. Well, the vibe 825 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: I gave off was such that I turned around and 826 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: this cute guy was like, hey, um, I like your 827 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: I like your glasses.

I walked because I'm like, I 831 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,280 Speaker 1: I have a drink from my friend Sam. I literally 832 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: I go read the toe, I go, thanks, it was free, 833 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: and I walk away. Wow, don't give a ship. Yeah, 834 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: and it's a beautiful. But I'm saying, but it sets 835 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,720 Speaker 1: it up so that you invite that kind of stuff 836 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: to come to you where you're just like because because 837 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 1: literally what she says in the book is thirsty people 838 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,399 Speaker 1: don't get don't get fed. That was my problem when 839 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 1: I was when I was out on the streets, was 840 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: I like, I wanted it so bad it was unwilling 841 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: to do anything about it. And then like I was 842 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: in constant situations where I could literally just touch something 843 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: someone's arm and either hook up or no that they 844 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to hook up and move on. But exactly 845 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. So you just can't be me 846 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: also also sexless, like you just can't be make the 847 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: path to looser five dicks before. It's very American pie. 848 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: American pie. It's so strict. I mean, don't don't avail 849 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: yourself to like any timeline like that. You want to 850 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,359 Speaker 1: see five dicks in a year, five dicks a year, 851 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: do a bull but also wait rolling her. No, I'm 852 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: not even, but I'm saying you don't have to like, 853 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: don't even pain a number to it, don't a quota, like, 854 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: don't do it, don't worry about it, don't give a ship. 855 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: I think a number is fine. It gamifies that, it 856 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: makes it fine. I hate a way to get my 857 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: hands on this book. I need that because I've been 858 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: feeling like when I was really having a good few 859 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: months and killing it, I like boys were coming out 860 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: every which way in the past.

I'm a bit reluctant to I 915 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 1: feel like I'm reading literatica. I'm a bit reluctant to 916 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: fully come out just because everyone who knows me knows 917 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: that I have dated girls in the past. That's all 918 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: of our stories. Besides coming to terms with my own sexuality. 919 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: The guy I'm seeing feels like I'm ashamed of him 920 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: or something, but I'm not. I just want to make 921 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: sure this is going to something, be something long term 922 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 1: before I started telling everyone I know, especially if we 923 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: break up and I have to not only come out 924 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: but also explain my sexuality. If we break up, We're sorry. 925 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,439 Speaker 1: Especially a break up and I have to not only 926 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: out but also explain my sexuality if we break up. Okay, 927 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: that was not my fault, that was Clia's. But I 928 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: love Clea. I am especially nervous to tell my family specifically, 929 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 1: it's always the moms are harder. To know that it's 930 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: always the moms are harder. I don't know about I 931 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: don't think that that's someone I know story. I just 932 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 1: totally disregard the completely public and well trod narrative that 933 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: it's hard from Sun to tell his father that he's good. 934 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: But okay, that's his friend's story. I am especially it 935 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,240 Speaker 1: was to my family. Mom. My family has said numerous 936 00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,800 Speaker 1: homophobic things around me, and I'm not sure what to 937 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: expect from the reaction wise, from the reaction wise board, bitch, 938 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: I know they still love me, and I wouldn't be 939 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 1: outcast or anything, but I just don't want them to 940 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 1: see me differently. Help me, please, I'm definitely seeking treatment. Okay, 941 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 1: so listen, babe. They think Pablo as their fake name. 942 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: But I'm sorry. You are gay now you're Khalia. It 943 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 1: is very hard to come out of the closet. We've 944 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: sympathized with you. However, you know you've got to be 945 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 1: fair to yourself and to the guy you're dating into. 946 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 1: You know it's the truth. So you're twenty years old, 947 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: it's about that time. It's time to be brave and 948 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,839 Speaker 1: also also everyone's on their own calendar. What I will 949 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 1: say is that like Kalia is concerned with his family 950 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: seeing him differently, and like that's just part of it. 951 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's a great thing, and it's sort 952 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,479 Speaker 1: of the whole point. Well, I think what what clear 953 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 1: needs to figure out for themselves as if they're um 954 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: G S r B. I think clea. Also, you should 955 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: realize that no matter where this particular relationship goes, that 956 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 1: doesn't affect your sexuality. Yeah, that's what I'm saying by G. 957 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: S r B. Yeah, but I get a dado the 958 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: guy after this, maybe he doesn't need to decide that 959 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: now he needs to figure out like what he's going 960 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: to say about the current relationship he's in and what 961 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: he owes to himself to be truthful, because he could 962 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: be years of our negotiation about whether he's be He 963 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: could not know he's really be R S R G 964 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 1: until he's thirty or forty. Even so, it's like, how 965 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: do you feel now? Is it a serious enough guy? 966 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 1: Do you like him enough that you want to like 967 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: tell people about it? If you do, when the relationship 968 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: is very important to you, I think then you should 969 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: honor that relationship or just what kind of relationship do 970 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: you want to have? Um?
