Speaker 1: Tampon Rock is a production of Anthem Entertainment and I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Welcome to Tampon Rock, Tampon We don't want to.
Speaker 1: Previously Tampon Rock, Daja and Chloe get in the fight.
Speaker 1: It's so sad. Chloe changes her life sort of in
Speaker 1: Deja disappears. Oh my god, it's she Okay, no, she's dead.
Speaker 1: What I'm just kidding? Oscar nominee Alicia Brown. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: we're starting with Gina and Data again. Okay, I'm getting
Speaker 1: worried that they're not in bed, they're driving. Okay, so
Speaker 1: just cue the radio. Okay, hey, thanks for letting me
Speaker 1: crash here annual glamping Extravaganza. The more the merrier. You
Speaker 1: don't think your friends will mind, right, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: I think they'll actually be pleasantly surprised. Well, look, I
Speaker 1: do have a few questions. First, one, okay, are your
Speaker 1: friends white, because I have seen it out and I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to have a brain transplant. And two are
Speaker 1: we sleeping in the same time because you know, like
Speaker 1: if there will be bears, I just want to be protected. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: Well one, no, don't worry you and your brain will
Speaker 1: be safe. Okay, and too we'll all be sleeping in
Speaker 1: a cabin, so you'll have lots of people to protect you. Wonderful. Oh,
Speaker 1: we should probably stop and get some gas. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should pull off at this exit right now because
Speaker 1: Google says there's only yes, the next one isn't for
Speaker 1: another hand. Okay, great, we're doing this great all right.
Speaker 1: Also perfect timing because we need to re up on
Speaker 1: slurpees and snacks. Yes, yes, and snacks. Slurpees and snacks
Speaker 1: brought to you by Tampa on raw Deja Sophie. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I thought you moved back to Toronto after graduation.
Speaker 1: Wait in my Canada? I've been trying. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Yeah, well I do live in Toronto,
Speaker 1: but I'm just on a road trip. Hey baby, can
Speaker 1: you grab me a bottle of water? I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom real quick. Wait. This is my
Speaker 1: friend Sophie from college, Kwind. How crazy is it that
Speaker 1: we ran into one another. She doesn't even live here,
Speaker 1: She's from Canada. Thanks to meet you. Sorry, what was
Speaker 1: your name? Oh my bad? This is my girlfriend Gina.
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you. Likewise, enjoying your American freedom, yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing like freedom without the free healthcare. Yeah yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's the American dream right there. Um, well, I
Speaker 1: still need to pee, Desh. I'll meet you at the car.
Speaker 1: It's so nice to meet you, Sophie. I got you
Speaker 1: the large water but they only had to signy. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. This world is so small. That's so random.
Speaker 1: Ran into somebody from college. I know that. Hey, can
Speaker 1: can we talk about something? Oh? That's scary? Are you
Speaker 1: breaking up with me? No? I think I'll keep you
Speaker 1: for now. Okay, what's up? I just want to be
Speaker 1: clear about some things. You introduced me as your girlfriend,
Speaker 1: which is so freaking sweet, and obviously we're more than friends,
Speaker 1: but I'd really prefer the word partner. I feel like
Speaker 1: girlfriend is a little bit too heteronormative for me. Oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, totally. I'm sorry, partner instead of girlfriend,
Speaker 1: got it. I'm just I'm not really into the whole
Speaker 1: like patriarchal, monogamous understanding of love, you know. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's just really important for me to be upfront and
Speaker 1: communicate these things. Not that there's anything wrong with that
Speaker 1: type of love. That's just not who I am. I
Speaker 1: dated people where my being Polly was an issue for them,
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to bring that up. Definitely, honesty
Speaker 1: is the best policy. As I learned in kindergarten, Well,
Speaker 1: forthcoming honesty is the best policy. And in the spirit
Speaker 1: of that, I want you to oh that some of
Speaker 1: my other partners will be there tonight. Um, I think
Speaker 1: you've already met Tina, right, Oh yeah, great? Cool? Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I know this is still new. I just don't want
Speaker 1: you to be uncomfortable. Oh I'm so comfortable with it.
Speaker 1: I can fall at sleep. You know. I'm just as
Speaker 1: cool as the sloopy. I'm so see and see, comfy
Speaker 1: and cool. That's me. You're so freaking weird but really cute.
Speaker 1: She's comfy, that's that one way. She's actually so sweaty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those pits stains are unreal, Desia. I mean her phone
Speaker 1: is going straight to voicemail. And then her things are gone.
Speaker 1: I mean not all of her things, but like her
Speaker 1: important things like Mr Foxy the Fox and her computer.
Speaker 1: Let me get the straight because she took some of
Speaker 1: her things. You think she moved out. Yeah, obviously, I
Speaker 1: think you're making a pretty big leap here. There is
Speaker 1: a difference between moving out and taking space. If she
Speaker 1: has moved out, what would that mean for you? What's
Speaker 1: so scary about that? Me and I feel betrayed. She
Speaker 1: didn't even tell me, she just left. What does betrayal
Speaker 1: look like for you? Well, now she has this new
Speaker 1: friend Angie, and she's been dating you know, Gina, and
Speaker 1: she probably told them she's moving out. So yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: I'm being replaced. What I'm hearing you saying is that
Speaker 1: when Deja has other friends, you feel like your relationship
Speaker 1: with her is threatened. Yeah, well, okay, that's not who
Speaker 1: Deja is like. She's just more of a one best
Speaker 1: friend type of person. So is it possible that Deja
Speaker 1: has changed? Wait? I thought you were supposed to be
Speaker 1: on my side? What do you like? Deja's therapist took
Speaker 1: Just take a breath. What is it you're feeling right now? Um?
Speaker 1: I feel angry? Okay, what are you angry about? That?
Speaker 1: You're not taking my side? Chloe, I'm not taking any sides.
Speaker 1: I am just trying to understand why Desia having other
Speaker 1: relationships triggers you so much, because she is going to
Speaker 1: have other relationships. Okay, Oh, I see what you're trying
Speaker 1: to do here, trying to make me say that I
Speaker 1: feel abandoned by Deja because I felt abandoned my Paul.
Speaker 1: Now I have this massive fear of abandonment. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there I said it. You did it. Congrats first, please
Speaker 1: that the therapist Olympics. Okay, Um, let's back up for
Speaker 1: a second. Okay, who's Paul. Paul is my older brother
Speaker 1: who committed suicide when I was sixteen. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I've already talked about it and dealt with it, so
Speaker 1: we don't even need to go into it because this
Speaker 1: isn't even about him, So let's just stay focused. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm very sorry that happened. Ah. Yeah, it sucked. Of
Speaker 1: course that did, Chloe. It's not surprising that you're so
Speaker 1: afraid of loss after that experience. You know, my parents
Speaker 1: made it like a million times worse because they're just
Speaker 1: like pretended nothing happened. They didn't even want to talk
Speaker 1: about it at all. They wanted somebody else to deal
Speaker 1: with it. Hence therapy then, and actually hence therapy now.
Speaker 1: You know, they turned his room into an office, like
Speaker 1: four months after he died. Four months of fucking office.
Speaker 1: They don't even need an office. It sounds like they
Speaker 1: abandoned you too, essentially, right, you needed more support in
Speaker 1: your greeving process and it wasn't given to you. I
Speaker 1: never really thought about it that way. You were just
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, but I I mean, I can't be
Speaker 1: mad at them. I know they were going through something
Speaker 1: really horrible. You know they had to bury fucking bury
Speaker 1: their only son. You know, they're firstborn, of course, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was whole ruble for everyone. But feelings
Speaker 1: aren't binary. You are allowed to be upset at your
Speaker 1: parents for not giving you the support you needed well
Speaker 1: at the same time feeling empathy for their loss. I mean,
Speaker 1: they may have lost one child, but they didn't lose you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what do I do now? I don't know, Chloe,
Speaker 1: What do you feel like you need? M hm? Do
Speaker 1: you feel like you need to talk to your parents
Speaker 1: about how you feel? I mean, is there any point
Speaker 1: it's not going to bring him back? No? No, it won't.
Speaker 1: But what about your relationship with your parents? You don't
Speaker 1: have to lose that too, Okay, think of it this way.
Speaker 1: If you can resolve these feelings of abandonment from your parents,
Speaker 1: maybe you won't feel as triggered when you're dealing with
Speaker 1: those feelings and your friendships. Yeah, I guess it still sucks.
Speaker 1: I have to go through this. Yeah, but then I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a job. It's your last name, humor, because
Speaker 1: then your first name would be sensed and your middle
Speaker 1: name would be up. You get it. Okay, that is
Speaker 1: a great place for us to stop. Okay, I'll see
Speaker 1: you the same time next week. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We call a Chloe two sessions to two sessions for
Speaker 1: her to have a breakthrough. That's how it works, therapy.
Speaker 1: It's a weezy bouts of busy. She made that open
Speaker 1: spy only took two sessions. We out here only took one,
Speaker 1: not two. Only two sessions. That's it. Not five, not four,
Speaker 1: not three, only fucking two. Okay. So remember Haley and
Speaker 1: Don dated for like three months but broke up because
Speaker 1: Don was in love with Haley's sister, Nikki. Nikki isn't gay,
Speaker 1: but they make out when they're drunk, but Haley won't
Speaker 1: be there, So don't mention that name. Okay, got it,
Speaker 1: Donn and Nikki, don't mention no Haley Haley Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: And then there's Justin Walter and Brian all best friends
Speaker 1: from college. Typically no drama between them, except we do
Speaker 1: have a saying when Brian gets wasted, Brian gets naked. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm already so earlier you mentioned Tina would be there.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else you may have provided tooth precious
Speaker 1: war in the mast? So my other partner, Frankie is
Speaker 1: going to be there. We met in college. We don't
Speaker 1: really see each other often, maybe like a few times
Speaker 1: a year, but we faced time frequently. But don't worry,
Speaker 1: we're sleeping with me. Okay, Frankie could figure it out
Speaker 1: themselves and I'll take care of you. Oh oh, this
Speaker 1: is it. Oh look, it's only two pm. Brian's already naked.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I thought you were joking. I wouldn't joke
Speaker 1: about male nudity. Taja Lish is a public showish announced money.
Speaker 1: If you are anyone you know has been affected by
Speaker 1: male nudity, including dick picks dick picks with random objects
Speaker 1: that are supposed to show scale, please call five five
Speaker 1: five tampon rock today again. That's five by five tampon rock. Right.
Speaker 1: I'm so good, I made it. I've missed you. Hug
Speaker 1: me it'll please know that thing out? Since when are
Speaker 1: you at jim daphobe? What what do you mean? I
Speaker 1: work out? I go to the Jymnaphobe is the fear
Speaker 1: of nudity? You know what? Never mind? Who is this? Oh,
Speaker 1: this dashing young laddad is Desia. Isn't she just the cutest?
Speaker 1: Well this is not the first time the naked man
Speaker 1: has complimented me, but it was the first time. I
Speaker 1: don't feel a fine lady Gina, I like her. See, Desha,
Speaker 1: you're already fitting in. Everyone's outback drilling. Do you need
Speaker 1: help with your bags again? Not with that thing out? Please?
Speaker 1: Your last time? I can lift a lot with this thing. Well,
Speaker 1: he's fun, definitely one of my favorites. Hold on, you
Speaker 1: got a little eyelash on your face. Make a wish, Frankie.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh sorry, no, stop come here. Oh
Speaker 1: I missed you, Frankie. This is Deja Desa. This is Frankie.
Speaker 1: So this must be the Desia. I didn't realize you
Speaker 1: were coming. Yeah, it was very last minute. Let's just
Speaker 1: say she needed some saving. Oh should I ask? And
Speaker 1: it's a long story. Gotta dropped? You want to beer? Yes? Please,
Speaker 1: I'll bring your stuff in. Go ahead round back so
Speaker 1: you can meet everyone. I'll be there in a second.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Ben, Welcome to London time. Actually we're
Speaker 1: in the cabin. We're Deja. We'll just started checking on her.
Speaker 1: She seems like we're having a little bit of technical
Speaker 1: difficult taste. To try it again, hopelessly drowning. Yes, you
Speaker 1: are not supposed to be hitting that sad song. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well anyway, we're lit as the American hit It names everyone.
Speaker 1: This is Deja, say hi, hi, Deja, this is everyone.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Hey guys, I put your stuff in the
Speaker 1: blue room upstairs. Deja, let me grab you the beard?
Speaker 1: Gee you you want the I was expecting it to
Speaker 1: be served upon my arrivals. Nothing, it's just a vodka
Speaker 1: drink we made up. Okay, cool? Cool? Hey Tina, baby,
Speaker 1: I know I just saw you like a few days ago,
Speaker 1: but I missed you so much. Here take these jellow
Speaker 1: shats you guys. You have to catch up. Well I
Speaker 1: went in Rome. Oh no, baby, we're in like Tahoe. Wait,
Speaker 1: this is like Tahoe. I thought we were in Canada,
Speaker 1: are you guys? Okay? Bottoms that the dams you drinks?
Speaker 1: Thank thank you. So what are we talking about. Well,
Speaker 1: we just found out Frankie things they have a secure
Speaker 1: attachment style. Oh okay, really secure? Huh? Attachment style? What's that?
Speaker 1: So we have this little virtual book club and we've
Speaker 1: been reading this book on attachment styles called attached and basically,
Speaker 1: an attachment style is how you function in your relationships,
Speaker 1: not just romantic relationships, but like all relationships. So Frankie
Speaker 1: was just saying that Gina obviously has an avoidant detachment style. Okay, no,
Speaker 1: that's offensive. Not all polyamorous people have an avoided attachments time,
Speaker 1: but come on, do you definitely used to be avoided?
Speaker 1: In your defense, Gina, I disagree. I think you are
Speaker 1: very secure. Thank you, Tina. Frankie, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you think you're secure. You're deaf, anxious. You know, we're
Speaker 1: all secure until we're not. Take Chrissy cheeking for example,
Speaker 1: Please heart, do me a favor. Hold that thought and
Speaker 1: then throw it out. Avoid. What's that? Did somebody say? Shrooms?
Speaker 1: Is it shroom tradition of ours? But don't feel crushed? True?
Speaker 1: True day you down? I don't know, I've never done them. Well,
Speaker 1: if you just take a little it's kind of just
Speaker 1: like being stoned. Okay cool? Uh yeah, you've got this alright,
Speaker 1: one for me, two for you. Everyone got to peace deja.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you this little tiny baby peace. Oh

Speaker 1: you're secretly good. I promise is never gonna happen again. Um,
Speaker 1: like you just hustled us. Well, what can I say?
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know my own strengths. It's so
Speaker 1: crazy how connected they are even from a distance. Do
Speaker 1: you mean what is there? Oh? Well, they never see
Speaker 1: each other anymore, but like ever since they broke up
Speaker 1: after college, they always just pick up right where they
Speaker 1: left off. I think that if they lived in the
Speaker 1: same city, they'd still be monogamous. They were monogamous. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: you're losing your touch, Gina. Well you know you're about
Speaker 1: to lose you're something. Yeah, that's right. Wait where were we? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they were in an open relationship, but they were
Speaker 1: so concer assumed with one another they never really acted
Speaker 1: on it, you know, like real unhealthy stuff, borderline obsessive.
Speaker 1: I think they became Polly because they just don't live
Speaker 1: in the same city. But that's just my opinion. Whatever,
Speaker 1: I mean, I benefit from it, So that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Good job, Gee, I guess you two, Frank,
Speaker 1: what do you never called me? Gee? I'm just trying
Speaker 1: something new? Is in my turn? No? The game is over?
Speaker 1: Deja oh exciting. I think your shreoms have kicked in Asia.
Speaker 1: Look at that tree. It's moving. I think it's waving
Speaker 1: high tree. Say hi h no to the tree. Hi
Speaker 1: te hi Hi, me out, me out. I love cats.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my stomach really hurts. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: means the shrooms are working. I'm pretty sure we already
Speaker 1: knew they were. You were just talking to she can
Speaker 1: hear you. But you might have to alleviate yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: pull the trickle? Trickle? Is that the right word? Trick?
Speaker 1: I think I gotta go to the brook alright, Deja,

Speaker 1: I think I have to pee instead, or maybe both
Speaker 1: at the same time. I don't think you can do both,
Speaker 1: which is more urgent. Would you rather pee on your
Speaker 1: vomit or vomit on your key? Oh that was a
Speaker 1: really good question. Guys, I can figure this out by myself. Okay.
Speaker 1: The girl that tripped in her own foot think she
Speaker 1: can make this decision by herself. Must be nice, dave
Speaker 1: to think she's all growing up. Guess we'll just you know,
Speaker 1: go then, right? No, no, no, please don't leave me. Fine,
Speaker 1: we'll stay. I guess ah. I love peeing. It feels
Speaker 1: so good. You know, if peing feels so good, could
