Oh, we're 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.840 more than nates, but less than soulmates. We're consummates. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:15.960 Consummates Yeah, yeah, like mates who also consummate the relationship. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.600 No, I got the joke. It's just not really accurate though. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.080 I mean, we haven't actually consummated anything. Do you want to? 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.560 I haven't pushed for full consummation because I didn't want 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.400 to pressure you. But if you think you're ready, I 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.560 would love to slide my lobottomy.

Uh, spaced out. I started seeing doctor Wiley about 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.200 a month before Santy went missing, and not for any 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.160 single reason. I just always felt like maybe the way 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.720 I am inside isn't like the way I'm supposed to be. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.040 And I like doctor Wiley well enough. She takes my 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.800 insurance and hasn't been sued for malpractice in this state. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.200 But if I'm being totally honest, I'm not sure what 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.480 I'm meant to be getting out of these sessions. So 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.040 in lieu of just asking doctor Wiley to explain my 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.639 mental health care plan, I decided to make a game 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.360 out of it make doctor Wiley laugh at my jokes. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.640 Success rate so far is zero, which is outrageous given 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.160 these golden nuggets of wit from our intake session. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.119 Do you or have you ever had thoughts about hurting. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.480 Others just in general or right now? 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.880 Do you have any children? 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:53.480 I already ate? Thanks? 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:54.600 Why Damien? 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:55.920 Sorry? Sorry? 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:56.320 Uh? 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.080 What was the question I asked about your week? 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.200 Right? M M honestly not the greatest. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.640 I'm sorry to hear that. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.840 Thanks. I remember that guy I was telling you about 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.360 last week, Matteo. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.400 The one who looks like your ex Santy. 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.200 Yes, your honor, that one. Doctor Wiley knows all about Santy, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.679 just except for the whole he vanished into the night piece. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.760 As far as Doctor Wiley knows, Santy and I just 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:24.680 had a bad breakup. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.800 And how is it going with Matteo? 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:34.520 Ummmm, I'm a doppel ganger of your missing X. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.599 Are you shitting me, Damien Teo? 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.279 Oh, and then you have the audacity to act like 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.640 I'm the crazy one for falling for you so fast. Meanwhile, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.120 you're playing out some fucked up lookalike fantasy? Is that 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.960 why you hit me up? Is that why you hit 0:04:53.000 --> 0:05:00.440 me up in the first place? Because I look like Santy? No? No, nothing, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.320 you have nothing to add? Okay, well, yeah that's a first. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:05.119 Tail. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.200 What are you doing the same thing Santy did? 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.839 Getting as far away from you as possible? 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.000 Wow, that sounds like it went about as poorly as 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:16.400 it could have. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.640 Yeah, twas not the best. Still, I get where Mattella's 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.400 coming from, wanting more with someone who just doesn't have 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.720 more to give. I was in his shoes not too 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:26.200 long ago. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.400 You would be referring to your relationship with Santy. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.080 Yes, yeah, kind of a role reversal when you think 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.120 about it. Back then, I was the one who wanted 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.200 to be official. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.279 And Santy didn't. I thought Santy was your first time. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.440 Okay, so you're right and you're wrong. The truth is, 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.960 although I told you Santy was the register in which 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.160 I swiped my V card, I haven't been totally fourth. Right, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:02.760 there was someone else before Santy. But to really understand 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.680 what happened, we have to go all the way back 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:16.280 to freshman orientation week, Damian. Uh hey, it's Meg. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.400 I led the orientation seminary yesterday. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.880 Oh right, I totally went to that, Amien. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.440 And just don't worry about all this, Okay, I am 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.320 a cool all right, all right? 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.320 Thanks? Uh do you know my roommate Jacko. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.760 We met last night at the Crustacean Ball. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.480 I'm sorry, the Crustacean Ball. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.680 Yeah. Our school mascot is the Crustwick Crustaceans. So the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.560 Crustacean Ball happens every year during orientation week. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.760 Oh okay, so it's like homecoming. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.440 Now, homecoming is homecoming. This is the crustacean ball. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:06.120 I okay, go on, So, Dame, what's it like living 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:06.799 with Jack? 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.920 Uh? Pretty much just like this? 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:13.960 Oh you're so lucky. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.880 My roommate developed skaties on her face the second night, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:18.840 so I'm making her. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.240 Sleep in the library to look clears up. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.400 Oh, Wade over here, Damien. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:26.920 This is Wade. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.000 He and I went to high school together, even dated 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:31.480 for a second and seventh grade. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:32.800 You couldn't get. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.240 It up though. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.280 Wade meets Damien. This is his room. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.600 So man, thanks for letting us Kicky. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.160 Yeah, no problem, No problem, bro, I'm confused. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.640 So this Wade he was the real person? You lost 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:52.480 your virginity too? Yeah, but you told me it was Santy. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.600 I told Santy that too, So. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:56.360 You lied to me. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:02.160 I didn't not engage in a mild falsehood. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.800 Yes, do you lie often? 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:12.239 Wait? I prepared something for this exact situation. Where is it? Okay? 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.520 So you know how in competition reality shows, the host 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.080 is always bringing on special guests, and you know they'll 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.360 make a huge deal, like this week's guest photographers none 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.360 other than the Jeremy Swindon and all, like the models 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.400 will go as if anyone has ever heard of Jeremy Swindon. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 Well, I think I may actually have heard of him. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.760 What No, I made him up? 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:35.720 You light again? 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:41.240 I'm making a point. Mmmmm. So just imagine that moment 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.800 if all the contestants stayed quiet, smiled and nodded, but 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.800 didn't even pretend to know who this Jeremy Swindon is. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.760 Yeah, I suppose that would be a little rude. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.400 Way rude, riddled with shame. Jeremy Swindon would have gone 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.040 home that night and drunk himself into a stupor, passing 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.760 out with a lit cigarette and burning down the house. Okay, Well, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.839 so if you follow that thread, you could logically argue 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:09.240 that sometimes it's wrong not to stretch the truth. Hm, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.640 not the enthused response I was gunning for anyway. A 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.160 couple weeks after meeting Wade, I was at the library, 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.520 rushing to meet a deadline for the Barnacle. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.360 The school paper. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.200 I presume, right. Oh I must have dozed off. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.360 Hey, Damien Wade, Jess you. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.280 What are you doing? 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:31.920 Meg told me I might find you here. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:37.240 Oh okay, Uh, what's up? 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:38.400 Nothing? 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.200 Nothing? I almost just had a heart attack for nothing. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:46.200 I never see you anymore. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.719 Oh yeah, Jacko actually got busted for trying to grow 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.800 shrooms in the community garden. So we're easing up on 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.000 the parties. Not even the cool ra was cool enough 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:57.800 to let that slide. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:03.120 Brutal. Oh sorry already to hear that. But we can 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.679 still hang out though, right. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.120 Did you know Wade liked men before this? 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.360 I barely remembered Wade existed. It made sense, though, I mean, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.600 it's probably why he couldn't get it up with Megan 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.400 in the seventh grade. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:22.280 Okay, did you guys, did you fool around in the 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.079 library that night? 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.480 Wade wanted to, but I declined. I knew this girl 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.640 in high school. His boyfriend went down on her in 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.839 the library, and to this day she can only get 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.400 off if she's surrounded by all thirty two volumes of 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:42.360 the Encyclopedia Britannica. Which edition, Uh, not sure. Anyway, since 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.800 both our roommates were home, Wade suggested we take a 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.520 walk around the badminton courts instead. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:52.160 Okay, okay, your turn. What is your biggest dating pet peeve? 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:57.760 I would have to say useless dating apple bios such 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.240 as like you know of sushi, travel and watching Netflix, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.400 as if that doesn't describe ninety five percent of the 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.040 California population. And don't say you like to watch Netflix. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.440 That tells me nothing. Tell me what you watch on Netflix. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.720 It's like it's like saying you like using the toaster. 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.000 It's almost as bad as looking for someone to go 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.000 on adventures with. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.679 Yeah, like what does that mean? What adventures are? Are 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.200 they referring to sunken pirate treasure? 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:26.640 Like? 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.120 What is that anyway? 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:30.480 Uh? 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:36.240 Well, seeing you tonight was I don't know, a pleasant surprise. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.920 I guess well after the initial unpleasant surprise. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.480 I am known at times to be surprisingly pleasant. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.560 Did that conversation actually happen? That doesn't sound like how 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:50.679 people talk. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.520 Maybe you don't run in witty enough circles. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.199 I'll take that into consideration. So was that the night 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.320 you and Wade had sex? 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.600 But we did get to third base on the baseball field. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.199 When you say third base, are you referring to the 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:07.239 third base. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:11.160 Or uh, just like third base. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.480 As in the actual physical third base on the you know, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.600 the baseball diamond. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.720 Oh yeah, it was definitely physical. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.119 I don't okay, never mind. Was it a positive experience? 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:24.800 Yeah? 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.040 I mean right up until it wasn't so you can't 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.960 tell anyone about this? Uh huh, I'm not out. So 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.640 you need to keep this completely between the two of us. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.160 Oh h. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:40.160 Totally. 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.320 I'm serious, Damien, no one can know. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.360 Are you still paying attention? Why do you stop taking notes? 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.120 No, I'm I I'm sorry. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:52.320 You're right. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.120 I've just heard this story so many times. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.440 Oh, I'm sorry? Am I boring you? Doctor? 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:00.280 Oh? 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:00.440 No? 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.800 Of course? Please continue. So you and Wade were the 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.160 overplayed closeted not closeted relationship show. That must have been 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.400 difficult for you. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.680 It was. I mean, before Wade, the most I'd done 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.640 with the guy was make out. Now suddenly I was 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.439 experiencing all this exhilarating and scary sex stuff, but I 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:27.000 couldn't talk about it. It became very isolated. 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.200 Damien, grab your shit. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.520 We are gonna go get a blackout at the froo 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:34.200 Place again. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.800 Jesus beg, who let you in my room? Hi? Aren't 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.440 you banned? If I'm going back to the Froyo Place anyway? 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.840 I can't I have a thing tonight? Sorry? 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:51.200 Meg uh yeah, right, that infamous thing we've heard so 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.080 little about. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.960 Okay, you know, if you're going to keep blowing us off. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.280 At least be upfront about it. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.640 I'm not blowing you off. It's David. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:03.240 You've been about as fun as a kronoscopy lately without 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.320 the tingling sensation. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.199 She did not say that, No she didn't, but I 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.720 could tell you were drifting again. Regardless, the point remains, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.640 the longer Wade and I were intermittently hooking up, the 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.240 further I drifted from my friends. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.840 Why did you keep seeing him? 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.280 Hm? The question in question. I still wonder that myself. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.520 I mean, there wasn't even anything about Wade that I 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.080 particularly liked, but it was a new kind of attention 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:37.560 for me, and I mistook the intimacy for affection. Thankfully, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.000 the stuff with Wade cooled down once I started seeing 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:45.440 Santy for a while, but then came the annual Brine 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.440 Shrimp charity luncheon for a degenerative bone disease. I had 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.920 assumed that Santy and I would attend the galap together, 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.840 but when he told me he had other plans, an 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.440 argument ensued. It wasn't a particularly new one, started with 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:04.480 why can't we make this official? And ended with find Santy, 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.960 if you won't commit to not fucking other people, then 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.800 neither will. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.560 I was that the end of you and Santy n He. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.480 Bought me a Costco Truro and we made up like 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.880 two days later, right before I started seeing you. Actually, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.360 I do stand by how I felt about the situation, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.760 but I also recognized my reaction was perhaps a little extreme. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:31.840 And was said extreme reaction having sex with Wade during 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.239 the two days when you and Santy. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.720 Were apart yep. Pissed at Santy, I texted Wade for 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.600 the first time in months. I asked if you wanted 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.400 to hang out? That he knew what I meant. He 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.840 eventually replied, putting me on stand by. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.440 Wade put you on stand by? 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.640 Oh yeah, that was his shorthand for I'll text you 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.440 if I'm able to sneak you into my room without 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:58.040 anyone seeing us together. Hmm. The hardest part about the 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.000 sworn secrecy was that no body could point out to 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.960 me how Wade was, to put it lightly, the absolute 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.120 fucking worst. No one to call a Wade a spade. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:17.200 If you will, calculating joke score, I give up. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.240 Not even a gosh dang chortle. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.400 Is that what you focus on during these sessions? Making 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:23.920 me laugh? 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:24.720 Uh? 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.320 Oh? Cover blown abort. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.160 I've noticed how you tune out. Sometimes it's never for long, 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.360 just seconds at a time, as if you're you're thinking 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.200 really hard. I want you to try something for the 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.240 remainder of today's session. Don't think, Okay, just talk to me. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.200 Okay, good? 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.640 Now, let me ask has anyone ever told you that 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.680 you use humor to avoid uncomfortable situations? 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.600 She did not just say that, are there any centipedes nearby? 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.600 Because my blood is boiling? Yo? 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:57.240 Fuck? 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:57.720 What? 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:58.920 Fuck? That? 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.160 What you're doing right now? I want you to stop 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.320 the internal monologue. If you have something to say, just 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:04.000 say it out loud. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.359 Well I would have if well, I would have said 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.480 it out loud if you had a better sense of humor. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.560 Doc, Okay, let's continue. So you were on standby for 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.800 a text from Wade that the coast was clear, right. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:26.160 Well, Finally, by the mid afternoon I got the text. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:29.760 Ow. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.600 A sorry, zoned out again. I was just thinking about 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:40.639 that affordable and functional product. Anyway. Finally I get the 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:45.080 text from Wade. What was this message? 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.560 You can come over now use the back entrance. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.680 Wade sounds quite troubled. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.399 What Wade is trouble? I was the one being troubled. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.320 Well, it's common for people who display this type of 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.320 behavior to actually be deeply insecure themselves, and they're only 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.600 taking out their insecurities on others. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.880 I do not subscribe to that philosophy the whole. He's 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.119 only a bully because he's insecure. Line like, Hello, I'm insecure, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:19.480 but I don't treat people like barn animals. No, certain 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.159 kids aren't bullies because they're insecure. They're bullies because they 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.280 are rotten. And while we're dishing out hot takes, let 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.399 me just say, all dogs do not go to heaven. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.600 Do you think Matteo would agree? 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.200 Probably? He says drug sniffing dogs are class traders. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.400 Do you think Matteo would agree that you never hurt 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.720 people out of an avoidance to address your own insecurities? 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:47.280 I mean do I? Well, what's your point? 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.440 There must have been a reason Wade didn't feel comfortable 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.720 coming out, and just like you, those anxieties drove him 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:55.520 to act poorly. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.199 Wade is not just like me, and that's such a 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.800 double standard. I mean, why is it okay for Wade 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.880 to be a dick to avoid uncomfortable topics? But I'm 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.679 getting spit roasted for making a couple of harmless jokes. 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.359 You know what, don't answer that. I just want to 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:14.560 finish the story. It's me, Damien. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.679 Hey, come in. 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.840 Thanks. So are your roommates at the luncheon? 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.600 Yeah? Cool? Your hands are shaking? 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.480 Are they sorry? I'm just a little nervous. I guess 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.560 I'm sorry I brought my vapor. 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.359 Yeah. We should really get on with it. The guys 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.200 are gonna notice if I'm not back soon. 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:46.760 Right, Sorry? Yeah? Sorry? So have you ever done it with? 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.960 The word virgin is so antiquated? Like am I being 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.639 sacrificed into a volcano to reawaken the ancient ones? 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.359 I can't speak to that, but I have fucked for 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:01.240 the first time before. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:07.760 Oh splendid anything I should know? 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:13.000 Yeah, Damnien, stop talking? Why back. 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.480 Eighteen minutes? I checked the clock when I got there. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.120 I was in and out of his room in eighteen minutes. 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:27.760 Here puncheon's almost over. My friends are expecting me back. 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:39.320 So oh oh yeah, right, yeah, sorry about that. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.360 I'll yeah, I'll get. 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:54.159 Ready. Whoa, Damien, are you crying? No? Okay, yeah, so 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.119 let's bounce. I'll text you when I'm free. 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.359 That sounds like a are you disappointing. 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:05.600 First time, disappointing in myself. Yes, I'm not wired to 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.399 hold my tongue when someone cheats me that way. So 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:15.040 I didn't Wade. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:23.399 Damien Meg, Hey, why do you look so guilty right now? 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.400 Were you just smoking pot in the dorms? 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:27.359 Kidding? 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.680 That's totally fine. I'm a cool all right? 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:31.360 Remember? 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.080 Oh good, I forget and yeah, we were just pre 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.040 gaming the Brian Trim Charity luncheon. I ran out of week, 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:44.560 so Damien brought over his vape, right, Damien, Damien, I 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:45.600 said we were just vaping. 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:53.240 Right, you were high, Wade, You never fucked me sober? 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:55.080 You outed him? 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.240 Oh now she's paying attention. Eh, don't make me feel bad. 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.640 You're supposed to take a neutral tone about everything. 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.560 You outed him. That's a very serious thing to do. 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.119 I know, and I wasn't planning on it. It was 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.760 just just hurt and embarrassed. 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:13.600 Have you and Wade spoken since then? 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:14.360 No? 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.840 I generally avoid him at all costs. 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:22.159 So there's been no apology from who?

Look, Wade finally 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.200
