0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Hi Catherine, Hi, Hi. I noticed your hair is all

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>pink today. It is, It'll be a different color tomorrow.

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how you get away with dyeing your

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>hair so many different colors and then your hair remaining

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>on your head. If I did that to my hair,

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I would have no hair. It's actually a color depositing conditioner,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.159
<v Speaker 1>which is great, so it actually makes a nice and

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>healthy and soft and yeah, it looks very shiny and silky.

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Your husband must really really like running his

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>fingers through your hair, you know. I actually asked him recently,

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>of all the colors of hair I've had, I've had teal, pink, purple,

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of things. I said, of all the colors

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I've had, what's your favorite? And he said brown, very pointedtly,

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>so you know, but he loves me anyway, So you

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>dyed pink. That's nice. Good for you, Good for you. Well.

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>We have a very very special guest today. We are

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>actually recording this out of New York City because I'm

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>on tour with my lover Joe Koy, who was performing

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>all weekend in various parts of the Eastern Seaboard. Well, Albany,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>we started in that's not really the Eastern Seaboard, but

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>it's part of the East Coast. Then we went to Portland, Maine,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>where he had a show, and then we ended it

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>at the King's Theater in Brooklyn last night, which was

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>fucking awesome and a beautiful old theater and he crushed it.

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>And I did guess That's all weekend with him, which

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>was super fun. And yeah, I've been talking about him

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot recently, so I thought there would be no

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>better way to start season two of my podcast than

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to bring my paramore on with me and discuss our

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>beautiful love story. Honey Bunny, Hi, Joe Koy, Oh, I

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>love you in uh well, I thought it would be

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>nice to share with my listeners since you know, I

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>always I'm talking about how fucking stupid and annoying men are,

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and I know a lot of people think I hate men,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but that's really not the case. I hate a very

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>as Joe actually put it, I hate do you want

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>to finish it? I hate a very specific kind of guy, right,

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>finish it? No, he doesn't want to finish it. He

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>just because there are certain things that only you can say. Well, no,

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you're a guy, so you can kind of you can.

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I can say whatever I want. And you're also Filipinos,

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>so you can say whatever you want right now. This

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>is this is your free zone right now. Yeah, how's

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>my opportunity. But you said somebody was talking about me

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>on something you did, and I heard you say. They said,

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>doesn't Chelsea Handler hate white men? And you said, no,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>she hates a very specific kind of white man. So

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and I don't hate them, but I dislike them a

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>great deal. But I'm so excited to be with a

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>man that I don't hate, is what I'm saying, and

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that obviously this is very helpful for all of our

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>listeners who probably agree with me or feel the same

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>way I do about men, which is a little bit

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>hopeless and a little bit frustrated that there isn't a

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>better selection. And then I found out that the best

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>selection was just standing right in front of my face,

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't even notice it for a really long time.

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And I know you know you did. Well, I know

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that's your version of things. Why don't you actually tell

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>your version. That's actually the best version. It's my version.

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to hear it. Why don't you extrapolate that

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>on that, honey, your version of since since let's take

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>people back in case they're not familiar with the fact

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>that we've known each other for a very long time. Yeah,

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 1>we we've known each other for very long months seven months,

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>seven months, eighteen years, eighteen years, sixteen years, vague. Joe

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of memories. Let's be honest. Joe has

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of memories that I do not recall. Hers

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>are lost. She she had them and then she lost them.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I have a six month memory. I think the furthest

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you go back is eight hours and then everything's a blur.

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>She's like, what happened at midnight? No, that's not true, honey.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>First of all, wait, first, well, let's start this just

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>what makes what makes me sad is that you don't

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>remember any of the things that I remember in my head.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>In my head, it's just it's such a beautiful story.

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>And then when I'm finished telling you, you go, really

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that happened. It's a cute story though, Because so Joe

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 1>was on my show Chelsea lately, my very old show

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that I had for seven or eight years and which

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>was super fun. We had a lot of fun on

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that show, and we had a lot of comedians on

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 1>that show, and show was like one of the top

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>comedians that was always on because he always delivered, and

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he was always funny and always sweet, and we had

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a good repartee going all the time. You interpreted that

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>as a sexual flirtatious not gonna do this is exactly

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>for a really long time, honey, and the world had

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a crush on you know, you had a very specific

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>crush on me. We had good chemistry. Our chemist, she

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.239
<v Speaker 1>was amazing, Yes, and you thought that chemistry was sexual,

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>And never did I ever say that. I thought it

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>was comedic. Katherine, are you listening to this? Katherine's listening.

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>She's a producer. She has to listen, whether she wants

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to or not. No, that's not how it went down.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 1>We just had our chemistry was so good. Yes, that's

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>our banter was organic, It was genuine, and I think

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the fans saw that. I think everyone knew that right

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>whenever I was on the panel, they knew that Chelsea

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and I were going to go at it and it

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>was going to be fun. Yeah, it wasn't gonna be scripted, right,

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>But it was abusive on my end, very abusive. I

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>abused you. Hey, but you know what, that's what therapies for, therapy.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But what you mean you being on the show was

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>like therapy getting abused by me. No, no, going after

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the show. I was going to therapy after the show

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>do but about ten years. But no, I was abusive

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>with him, But that's kind of it was fun. Well,

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>it was fun for you because you have a great

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>attitude about everything, honey, especially with regard to me. In retrospect,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I realized said it was abusive in a very schoolyard

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>playground kind of way, which when the girl has a

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>crush on the kid on the guy, and that's what

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>it was, just like had a crush. Okay, well okay,

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know if I had a crush on you.

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know about it. But if you believe that's true,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>what's happened so far in our relationship is that Joe's

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>version of things eventually becomes my version of things because

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I eventually capitulate And wait, are you saying I'm manipulating you?

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Is peple? You have a narrative which is always positive

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>sunshine and roses and that eventually I just get on

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>board with your narrative. And I tell Katherine, what you

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>think I did? This was a plan, Okay, let me

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you there's an outline to this eighteen year strategy

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>that I've done. This was all strategically planned, put together

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a timeline. Joe had a vision board, okay, and he

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>had and then he manifested all of this exactly. And

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>so there was a trip to Hawaii and then there

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 1>was a picture of Chelsea right next to it. So

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>let's just say the trip to Hawaii crossed out eighteen

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>years ago. I'll tell you my version of it because

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>it's really cute. And and again, I just want women

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to understand, like if I fell in love with somebody

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and I and I feel this way and I'm so

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>excited and like committed and devoted, then I really do

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>believe that there is a lid for every pot, and

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that that's not the most romantic way to frame it,

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>but I do believe that like women shouldn't ever. First

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of all, you should never be desperate about meeting somebody,

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>because that's not how you meet somebody. You should just

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're keeping your eyes open with a the

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>people who are already in your life and be the

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>people that you may not look at that way or

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>think of that way, but you do really have a

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of respect and caring for because those feelings can

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>develop it to something else. And I thought for sure

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that would never happen to me because truthfully, I felt

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>like you were like, you know, brother energy, Which is

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>funny because you do have my brother's energy, my brother

0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that passed away. You have a lot. He is a

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of similar qualities that my brother had. So in

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>many ways, like I just feel so completely safe and

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, oh, this is family. Like I I've

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>always felt that way about you, that your family. I

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just didn't want to suck you before. But so what

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>happened was so Joe had a book called Mixed Plate

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that was being released before the pandemic, right right before

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. Yeah, so bad timing, actually bad timing. So

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>please get yourself a copy of Mixed Plate, okay, and

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>then send it to us and we'll both sign it.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>And he asked me for a blurb, right, He texted me,

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't heard from you in years, right, years? Years?

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, of course, and he sent me the book

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and read it in a day, like she always does

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>with books. She has a library stored inside her brain.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's the truth. You always have a different book

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>with you and like the next day it's like another book,

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>another you'd ripped through. I did a quote that Bert

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Chrisher sent me a quote, right, just like this motivating,

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>motivational quote. You know, you don't do quote, you read

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a quote. Just let me finish this, okay, and then

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you'll be right for the rest of the show. Okay, okay.

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>And then so he sent me this quote. I read

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.599
<v Speaker 1>it to Chelsea and then she knew exactly who the

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>quote was from. And it's just like that stats who

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea is? Mary Anne Williamson. It was a Mary Anne

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Williamson quote, and you know she I read it, and

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>by the way, the way I read is not good,

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>So for her it's not understanding what I was saying.

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>If anyone in this relationship is going to read something,

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be me. Hey, han, I already already

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>told the world I can't read. Okay, you don't have to.

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You have so many other childs you can read. Just

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, you can not. Well, that's not Yeah,

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it's well, actually that was good. Well anyway, back to

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 1>my literacy, but no, and then I asked her for

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the quote and then she goes, Okay, I'm gonna write

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>this for you. Excellent. Yeah, she wrote this amazing quote.

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>And then he texted me and he said, can I

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.839
<v Speaker 1>call you? And I said, not if you're going to

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>hit on me? Do you tell what I really said?

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You said, because you go, I go, can I text you?

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>And then you go, not if you're trying to fuck me?

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.199
<v Speaker 1>And then I go, God, Chelsea, do you think everyone

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>just wants to funk you something like that? I don't

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>think you wrote that, but you said, God Chelsea, And

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>of course you know I have stood good go through

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>our text chains for the and finding that one. Okay,

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>any anyway, so then we started talking. You started calling me,

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you came over to my old house one night.

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>We hung out. We got stoned, and we laughed on

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>my couch. But it was COVID times, so we definitely

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>kept our distance until we hugged. Well we hugged, but

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>we had masks on. So we hung out at my

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>house and we had a great time, really fun, right,

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We laughed our asses. He bought me a product little person.

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, you could take that right back, because I mean,

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not going to wear a purse that

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>says product on it. I don't like labels like that.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And you were offended, of course, But we had a

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>fun time anyway. And then I went to Whistler for

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>three four months and then we faced times all the

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>time because you were up my ass. Well, I was

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>in Whistler and you were so excited about my skiing

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and you were jealous of the skiing, right, and yeah,

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>he's skied and then he's skied in Vegas, so that's

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a different kind of skiing. But skiing it's snow and

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>then there's okay, so it's skiing difference. What am I

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>skiing down sand dunes? I don't know, are you? But

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>it's an indoor skiing in Minnesota. It's it's not, No,

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>it's outdoor. It's on a mountain. You thought was that

0:11:52.000 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>cir circus just going down black Diamonds. Anyway, that happened,

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and then you sent me a bunch of flannels which

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>were really cute because my brother chat that I talked

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>about in my book, and we've talked about on this podcast.

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Used to wear flannels all the time, and even when

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>he passed away, I remember I would go into his

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>closet and he had this like curtain in his closet

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and I would go in there and just smell all

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>his shirts because his smell never really went away. And

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>then Joe wears flannels all the time. But I never

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>really made that connection. But there is very something warmth

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>warming to me about a man in a flannel. Her

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>compliments always came to me, and I didn't realize it

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>until like later when we started getting serious. But every

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>time I put on a flannel, she would always compliment me. Yeah,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>she'll be a whistler and I'll be in Vegas and

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd have my flannel ones and she goes, oh, you

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>look good in that flannel. You should wear flannels more

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>more often. But we were just friends talking. Yeah, yeah,

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>but you were in love with me at that point,

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>probably right, did you? Were you? Honey, tell the truth.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>You can tell the truth. I mean, we're just doing

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. I mean, of who wouldn't, well, a lot

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of people wouldn't, but you, you know, I've always loved

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You're so cute. I told you, Yeah, of course, you know.

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And one thing that I treasure the most with Chelsea

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>is her friendship because she's such When when you get

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea to be your friend, it's going to be the

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 1>most solid friend you'll ever have. So you want to

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>secure that, you know. So I always wanted to make

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>sure that she was happy, and and I just wanted

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to secure our friendship because I loved it so much,

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't want to do anything wrong. Yeah, you

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>want to spoil the friendship, Yeah, because I'd rather have

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>her with me as a friend forever than trying to

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>make something happen for a weekend. That's not worth it

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to me. What was it that pushed you kind of

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>over the edge into romantic feelings? That's when she roofed me.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Would never waste roof you had an other person. I

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>would only give that to myself. Yeah, it's when she

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:07.959
<v Speaker 1>roofied herself. I was in Whistler for three months. Then

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>he was coming to Vancouver because Steven Spielberg saw Coming

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in Hot on Netflix, one of his three specials on Netflix,

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and he gave him a movie called Easter Sunday, which

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>comes out next year April one, which is fucking awesome.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>So he I was in Vancouver, but it was at

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the height of COVID, so nobody could come in and out.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So even though he was going to come and ski

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>if he could, we couldn't do that. So then he

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>was filming his movie and he's like, oh, come down,

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you can have a role in the movie. And I

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, Oh, that would be so much fun. But

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it didn't work out because I was leaving Whistler and

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>then I would have had to come back to Vancouver

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>where he was shooting his movie and quarantined for another

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. And at that point I was quarantined out

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and we weren't in love yet, so I didn't She

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't willing to do that until I didn't. Yeah, but

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll regret that because the movie is going to be

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>so awesome and I saw the trailer and he's seen

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the movie and it's gonna be awesome, and Tiffany Hattis

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>is also in it and a bunch of other and

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just a great representation of Filipinos and it's fucking

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>funny and it's got heart and all of the things.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So then I didn't do that movie. So we didn't

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>see each other for about four months other than face time, right,

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and then we started hanging out when we were home.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I guess it was very organic. I remember

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the minute we both got to l A, we were like,

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>let's go to dinner. You picked me up at one,

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and then that would turn into like a seven hour

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>margarita festival. I don't know if you know this, Catherine,

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>but before she was dating me, bed time for Chelsea

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>was five forty in the afternoon, so she was done

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>at Jamas at six, seven at seven, and then New

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 1>York times at four am and then starts again. Yeah.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I went through a phase where I went to bat

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>it around eight and woke up at around five, and

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that lasted through all of ski season. And then when

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I came home for a little bit, then I started

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with you, and that changed my schedule. I

0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>went from lunch to like lunch to coffee, and then

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>lunch coffee, what are we having for dinner? And then

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it went from lunch coffee, dinner to let's have a

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>drink and now at midnight. Yeah, now we're just spending

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>time with each other and I go to bed. Now

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>at what time do we go to bed? Last night

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>at three o'clock in the morning. That's a real radical shift. Yeah,

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>no kidding. So there's not a lot of compromise going on.

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It just feels like I'm adapting. I just want to

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>tell everybody that I traveled on a tour bus this

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>week and we flew to New York. We took a

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>tour bus with seven other guys. I love you. I

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>have a great crew, Katherine. I really do have a

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>great crew. Like we're we're a team, like legit a team.

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>We all have great roles. And I can't do anything

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>without these guys. I really can't. They're all great. Yeah,

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they are good, and they're not assholes and they're not

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>BROI They're just all good human beings. The point being

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>is that I slept on a tour bus for you,

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>which is something that I hoped that would never happen

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to She said that to me, She goes, oh, yeah,

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>tour bus not gonna work. Yeah. Everything I've told him

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that I wasn't gonna do, I've done. And now I

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>guess what she said yesterday, Katherine that she goes, I'll

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>just leave this shirt here and the shoes on the bus.

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>So now she has her own closet on the bush. Yeah,

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and so that's the story, baby, Yeah, it was. It

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>was kind of cool how you didn't answer Katherine's question though,

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So when did you? You said organically, but you never

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 1>gave a straight answer. But when you started having romantic

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>feelings towards me, well, I mean other than always having them.

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I had to make the first move because I knew

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe respected me too much and was never going to

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>do anything. We'll tell her what happened in Vegas? Well, yeah,

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Vegas is when I was like I would love yeah, yeah,

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>because you know, she was beautiful on stage. I was

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>performing at the Mirage and he came to see me,

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and we had been hanging out all that whole week,

0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and every day was just like a romantic comedy, watching

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.919
<v Speaker 1>people like frolic around Santa Mat come and knock on

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>our door and then been waiting for you. And did

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you hear that Harmony thinks I can sing a dance.

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>That's how much he loves me. He can't even see

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>me clearly or hear me clearly. Um he uh. It

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.360
<v Speaker 1>was after a lot of hanging out and a lot

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>of really fun times, like we would just laugh our

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 1>asses off and be silly and stupid, and you know,

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>end up at the pier playing air hockey or in

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>my house playing ping pong, or how about you getting

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a little hammered. Yeah, and then not having a house key,

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 1>right right? Oh that was good one night. And then

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you tell me that you left the purse. We heard

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that story. I think I've told that story repeated. Yeah,

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I did. I think that was a very

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>story pivotal moment right there. Pivotal, Yeah, why because that

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was a night where you know, like I didn't know

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 1>what was going on with you. I dropped you off.

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought you had a key. I saw you like

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I always sure someone gets to the door. I always

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 1>do that and the door. No, but I saw you

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>go to the door. So then when I saw her

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>go to the door, she's got a bunch of trees

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, so I saw a silhouette of her

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>going to the door. And then so I hurried up

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>because I had to hurry up and get back to

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Santa Monica before the bar closed, because she said I

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 1>left my purse there. So I just hurried up, raced

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>over to Santa Monica, and as I'm going there, she goes,

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>where's my key? I'm like, what do you mean, where's

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>your key? And she goes I'm locked out. I'm like,

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, let me go get your person. I'll

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>be back. So I went look for the She didn't

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you this part, did she? Well, I'm looking for

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the first for an hour, asking a bunch of people

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.239
<v Speaker 1>if they stole her purse, asking security, I go, you were,

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And then there was a group of people that were

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>sitting at the booth next to us, and then when

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>we left, now they're sitting at our booth. So I'm

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>now I'm like, did you guys see a purse here?

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Because she said she left her purse here, and then

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>no one said they had the purse. So I'm just

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.919
<v Speaker 1>like being a detective at this place. And finally I

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.959
<v Speaker 1>just left. Now I'm calling her. She's not picking up

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the phone. So now I think she got into the house.

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if she got into the house.

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I kept calling her and calling her and texting or

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>texting her room. Nope, nope, See she didn't tell that.

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>She didn't tell the story. I went home and got

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>my son because I left my son. I loved my

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>son's been waiting for he's he wanted to like go

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 1>out to eat or something. So I went home and

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>got my son. The minute I pulled up and go, hey, man,

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 1>I think Chelsea's outside of her house and she's not

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>picking up the phone. I went to go get her purse.

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 1>She said she didn't have a key. I don't know

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 1>if she got her key, but she's not answering. My

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>phone calls the texting and my son goes, let's go,

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>let's go see if she's there. So now it's my

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>son and I going back to her house and we're

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>literally yelling out her name at her house because she's

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>not there. Oh, by the way, she has this little

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>what is it that statue like a little waterfall right

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>by her front door. So my son went up the stairs.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 1>He went, oh, Chelsea. Oh. She was like, Chelse, I'm

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>sitting out there meditating in the middle of the night

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 1>with a waterfall. And then so we're yelling Chelsea, and

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, you know what, I think she's in

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>because all our lights are on. By the way, all

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 1>the lights are on in her house, and I'm like,

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I I go, you know what, I think she finally

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>got in, So then we left. Cut to the next day,

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 1>she calls me and she's like, I fell asleep by

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the pool so you couldn't get a pool chair. And

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>then she had a footprint on the side of her

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>her ash cheeks. I told you, no, that's from a

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.639
<v Speaker 1>different thing. I told you I stepped in the treehouse,

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>which was a lie. I didn't. I told him to

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 1>make him feel bad. You know, I had to sleep

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>in the treehouse last night. And he's like, oh my god.

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like no, And then I realized

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>he had come back and done all that, and then

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I felt bad. I said, yeah, I was inside good.

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, honey, I forgot, but that was sweet.

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if that's a good story

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to be sharing, but sure, you know who fucking cares, right,

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 1>who gives a ship? I can tell you that much. Yeah,

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And Vegas was leading up to Vegas. He was like,

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming to your Vegas show. I'm coming to your

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Vega show. Because he does have a house in Vegas also,

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 1>so you spend a lot of time in Vegas for

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 1>tax evasion purposes, right, that's the other reason. He's got

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>family and we and you walked in and I just

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.640
<v Speaker 1>remember seeing him and being like, oh, oh, okay, wait

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>a second, something's happening here. And then she liked my outfit.

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 1>I liked your outfit, but I just liked how attentive

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you were to be because I was performing and I

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was nervous. I hadn't really done a big show yet

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.160
<v Speaker 1>for the new tour. I've done about your practice shows,

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>but not in front of like a proper audience. And

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he was just so attentive to me, like the whole night,

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 1>backstage age, everything, just making sure I was okay. And

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember my sister going You guys were like acting

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like a couple. We went to dinner and we had Yeah,

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 1>we were with Hannah I'm Binder and Alex Edelman are

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>my opener. Hannah from that show Hacks Open for Me

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 1>and her boyfriend came and we saw them and we

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.679
<v Speaker 1>had some other friends there, and then we gambled after

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the show and that was really fun. And then Chappelle

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and all those guys came to the show at the

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>very end and they were going out in Vegas, and

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, I don't really want to go out.

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to just stay with my people. Plus we

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:35.720
<v Speaker 1>had plans were already planning to gamble, and then we gambled,

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and he thought my sister was giving him the eye

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.400
<v Speaker 1>because we were getting touchy feely. And we had bet

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>on that fight that you and mcg McGregor fight lost

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 1>on that fight. Is it you and McGregor. Isn't that

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 1>an actor? It's just okay, Well maybe he was in

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:54.199
<v Speaker 1>a fight too, McGregor. Okay, so exactly that may have

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 1>been why we lost, because I don't even know what

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the funk I'm talking about. Same here. So we've bet

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>on that fight we both lost, and then we both lost.

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>But what did I do? You made sure that I

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>got all my money back. That's what he always does,

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>you know about it. We took out money to gamble,

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and then he always puts the money back in my

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 1>person even though I've lost it all, which is a

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>really really cute thing. Which is a really cute tradition, honey,

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it can stop. And so you were hanging out in

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>my room right and in Vegas, and I said, do

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you have a crush on me? If you do, you

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>need to let me know because I need to respond

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to it. And he was like, Chelsea, don't ruin everything.

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:31.959
<v Speaker 1>You ruined everything, and I was like, all right, well,

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 1>then good night, and then you left and then you

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 1>came back because you lost your keys, and then you

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>sat there and you just waited for you said, I'll

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>wait for you to sleep, fall asleep, and I fell asleep,

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and he just sat there and waited, and then I

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>heard him walk out in the middle of the night,

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, God, is he ever going to

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>make a move on me? And then I just remember

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember thinking, oh, he would never do that in Vegas,

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like that's not his style at all. Plus, we were drinking.

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I was going to kiss her, Katherine, I didn't want

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>it to because we were both drunk. Right, how cute

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>is that? Yeah, I mean what guy says that? So

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>then well, I mean wouldn't like that's the right thing

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to do when I don't want to be I don't

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>want my moment with you to be a memory of

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>us being hammered and ship faced the Vegas. And that's

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.119
<v Speaker 1>why we've made out, especially after all these years, the

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 1>build up, and everything's gonna be right, it's gonna be right,

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be right, right, So it was yes,

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and so he did that, which was also made me

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>more attracted to him, and then I remember waking up

0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and going funk, I don't want to leave. I want

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to go with him, you know, and drive back. Yeah,

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 1>that was cute. She left a video message saying what

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>time are you going to leave? Because I'd rather go

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 1>back with you, But I didn't. I ended up flying

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 1>back because he was going shopping. He loves to go shopping.

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Now I have to go love to go shopping. But

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>then it was the next day in in l A

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, and we went out. We went down to

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Koreatown and we had a really fun night and and

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>then I think yeah, and then I made a move.

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I just said, listen, what is the fucking situation? First

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, do you want to hold my hands? And

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 1>while we were driving and you were like yes, and

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 1>then I was like okay. And then we got back

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>to my house and I made a move and said, listen,

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>let's get this show on the road already. That's great.

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:11.320
<v Speaker 1>So that was nothing happened that night either. No, No,

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 1>he didn't let anything happen that night either. Because we

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>were drinking. I got to find the silver window. She

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>literally put her foot on my face and she goes,

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>kiss me. You did kiss me? Honey. Yeah, so that

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was good. And speaking of drinking, guess who hasn't been

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>drinking for well, now it sounds like I have a

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>drinking problem after these stories, I know, but it sounds

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>like it. Anyway, I've started my thirty day alcohol cleanse

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>sobriety cleanse or whatever from my Orca because I had

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Sangria for breakfast a lot in my Orka and I

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>got back and thought, but I got so many d

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>ms from people who were also doing the thirty day

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>alcohol detalk with me. So what day are I on? Eight?

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Or nine? I don't know. Let's just say, well, when

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:00.679
<v Speaker 1>this airs, it will probably be like fourteen. So but

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been hard at all, probably because I'm with

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you and Joe's not even Joe only drinks if I drink,

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so he is fine not drinking. If I smoke a joint,

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he'll smoke a joint. If I don't smoke a joint,

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't smoke a joint. Right, you can take it

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>or leave it all. Yeah, right, so that's good. That's

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.719
<v Speaker 1>good for me anyway. That's our love story, guys. Hopefully

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't too annoying. No, not at all. Catherine yes,

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>should we start with some callers? Well, I want to

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>ask you a question. Okay, sure, honey. I think I'm

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.919
<v Speaker 1>allowed to do that, right, Catherine? Yeah? Absolutely, So you

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:37.879
<v Speaker 1>really never had not even an interest at all? Is

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>that what you're getting at right now, this whole love story,

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>not not even a tad, not a little bit of

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>an attraction from day one. Well, this is what I'll say,

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is that, first of all, I don't think I was

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:55.120
<v Speaker 1>in touch with my feelings enough to understand what those

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>feelings were. I would say by behaviorally what I was

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>doing would end Kate that I also had feelings but

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to they weren't registering. So I think

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>by going to therapy, like even when we were talking

0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>for the last year, like I still had that same

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>energy with you, because historically that was our energy, which

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>was like I felt like you had a crush on me,

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was in charge and I could kind of

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>just do whatever and you would always be smitten or

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 1>like taken by me in a way Like That's how

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I felt. But now in retrospect, I realized that those

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 1>feelings were probably I just was suppressing them. I was

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 1>just not like in touch with myself to understand. Oh,

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I knew I liked talking to you and I would

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>liked having you in my life because you're so positive

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and upbeat and it's infectious, and I loved all of that.

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>But I wasn't like, had this desire to have something happened. No,

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't thinking about that at all. I just thought, Oh,

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, who gives a ship? Because look

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>where we are now? So if I, you know, I

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>would have ruined it if I had those feelings earlier. Probably, Yeah,

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think we're in a better place both, Puss. I

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>would have sexually assaulted you crying in a corner, yeah,

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to file some sort of police report. And you

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>want to hear something else, Catherine. I didn't show Chelsea this,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but yesterday John lovetts text me I didn't show you. Yeah,

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>so I'll show you this. This is what he wrote

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 1>me this last night at like midnight. I'll do it

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>in John Love. It's his voice. You ready, He goes,

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>how do you meet your new girlfriend? You're welcome, glad,

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You're happy? I went, ha ha, thank you, John, no problem?

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Cash bleeds? Are you still funny? I'm selling out multiple arenas?

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>So yes, he goes, Jesus, that's awesome. But basically the

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>reason why that's funny is John's the reason why I

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>met Chelsea. Did she tell you that already? That's another

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>memory that I don't have, see she she doesn't remember

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>this either. John was doing a show at the laugh

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Factory every Wednesday night and I would opening for him.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>This is like sixteen years ago, whatever, sixteen or seventeen

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and then all of a sudden, he goes,

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you have to meet Chelsea handler. She's hysterical. She's my

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>only friend on my Space. And then it was literally

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just you, that's all you had. And the other guy

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it was whoever the other guy is, It's

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 1>just Chelsea. Yeah, so it was just Chelsea. And then

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>that that's when we met was through John. Yeah. Yeah,

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So I don't remember that either, but I do know

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>who John Lovett is, So there we go. I have

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a memory of him. Anyway, Thanks for listening to that,

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys fantastic. Should we take a quick ad break? Chelsea? Yeah?

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 1>can start reading my ads for me. Okay, yeah, okay, great, bye,

0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>do we have on deck? So our first question for you,

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea comes from John. Is it John Lovett's Hello? It's

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>not John Lovett, but he's from Texas. He's thirty two,

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 1>He writes, Dear Chelsea, first of all, thank you for

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>this hilarious and practical podcast. I absolutely love it and

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>applaud the work you're doing for your listeners. Here's the issue.

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I want advice on my phobia of the gym, more specifically,

0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>my worry when working out of the gym that I'm

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:23.719
<v Speaker 1>being judged by others. I recently signed up for Planet

0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Fitness and I love their leave your ego at the

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>door philosophy. However, I still can't shake the feeling that

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm either trying too hard or not hard enough. I

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>know it's in my head, but I'm in my early

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>thirties and want to get my body right for my

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>health and side note he is just over forty days

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>sober as well. Oh wow, well that's going to be

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 1>a big boost. Okay, Hi, John, let's see you. H

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 1>about that, but you know, yeah, seriously, I'm sorry that

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you won't be able to get an abortion there. My goodness,

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.040

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>first of all, great job, I'm not drinking for forty days.

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 1>How did you decide to do that? Kind of had

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it decided for me? My body was like, you can't

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>do this anymore. So I got out of that period

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Okay, you have to commit to it,

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and I did, and uh, I'm happier than ever. It's

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the best feeling. Yeah, it's the best feeling in the world.

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I get to take my dogs out all the time.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>We go to the lake and we just walk around

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, what are people doing all day? Like

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was just it's I'm so clear,

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and I have so many things I can do, and

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited about life, and so that's a big

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 1>deal for me. That's so great to do that I've

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>got gotten because I'm doing a thirty day detox. I've

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 1>gotten so many dams from people who are struggling with

0:32:57.600 --> 0:33:00.080
<v Speaker 1>alcohol and the idea of even giving it up, you know,

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think if it's if it's that hard to

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 1>even give up, then that means that you need to

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>consider it. Right, Yeah, it was hard. I didn't want

0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to give it up. And then once you give it up,

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and I am in a better a lot better place now.

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't regret it. I don't look back. But you know,

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 1>getting through that first period is not easy. I'm still

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.719
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of it. But I'm like so like

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even dream that I would be where I'm

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>at now. So yeah, so that's great. And then I

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't I'm starting a new job this week. What are

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you doing for your new job? Oh, I'm gonna be

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>working at so it's a hotel, working at the front desk.

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's great, and I'm really excited. And I just

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>got my degree from Arizona State in May. So like

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm on this whole like just resetting, you know. I

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was trying to get in with life, and you know,

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I really feel good about it. And the gym thing

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.480
<v Speaker 1>keeps coming up, where like I go and I feel

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I just don't belong. I'm dirty two now,

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, if I can get this together, then

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have everything. Else is kind of I'm

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of getting in line, you know. If I just

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>get this body right, that's gonna be like just the

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 1>best thing for me. Well, first of all, you do

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 1>not have to give a ship about anybody in the gym.

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Half of those morons don't know what they're doing either,

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:20.920
<v Speaker 1>And there's no morm in asking people like if you

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:23.879
<v Speaker 1>need help with something. Nobody loves to give people help

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>more than white straight guys at a gym. So if

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you need help, you shouldn't be shy about asking for

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it because it kind of ingratiates yourself to others, you know,

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't, if that's not your issue, is

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>your issue you just feel intimidated or is there your

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>issue that you don't know what you're doing? Well, I

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 1>have like an access, So it's like one end, I'm like,

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>what am I doing here? I'm fat I don't belong here,

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to the other end where I think I'm like hot

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff and like I really know what I'm doing, and

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 1>so like I'm always in between there somehow, and then

0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I end up on like the elliptical for like thirty minutes,

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>and then I go home because I'm like, oh god,

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't do any of this other stuff. I'm gonna

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.479
<v Speaker 1>look ridiculous. And I just and I feel like other

0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>people feel this way. I can't be the only one.

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 1>The things show you how to do them, like the

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>machines that are not like freeweights, like the ones that

0:35:08.040 --> 0:35:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, they'll show you how to do them and stuff,

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 1>and I just feel like, oh God, if I go

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>down there, I'm gonna be ridiculous and people are gonna

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:16.719
<v Speaker 1>be judging me. First of all, do you have to

0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:19.439
<v Speaker 1>remember everyone at the gym is there because they're worried

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>about how they're being judged. So don't worry about them

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>judging you, because everybody's thinking about themselves, So just remember that.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Just like you're in your head, everyone else is in

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>their head. Also. Secondly, there are so many apps you

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.279
<v Speaker 1>can download that can teach you how to do these things,

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Like do you have the Peloton app or like Tonal

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Fitness or one of those. I don't have those yet. Actually,

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the Planet Fitness apps does some of that stuff. They

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have like videos, but peloton. I watched TikTok and there's

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>that guy on there. I don't know if he's seen,

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's really funny and I think he does peloton,

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:50.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, I should do that because

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you can do just the membership and you

0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 1>don't have to have a like no, you don't need

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the bike. You just get the membership. You played on

0:35:57.400 --> 0:35:59.839
<v Speaker 1>your laptop or an iPad or whatever. There's like ten

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it in fifteen minute classes they do like you can

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 1>do upper body, lower body, you can do apps, you

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.239
<v Speaker 1>can do all of that, but just doing cardio a

0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>if you've lost weight recently or anything like that, too

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 1>much cardio is never bueno, like you know, if people

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's the way. But like, once you've lost the weight,

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to you want to tone up right, you

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 1>want to be lifting weights and doing that stuff. So

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>any of those apps will teach you how to do

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.759
<v Speaker 1>these exercises. You know, these aren't difficult things. They're so

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 1>easy and you just have to have a conversation with

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:28.839
<v Speaker 1>yourself before you get to the gym because you do

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 1>belong there. That's what you're doing. You're going there to

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:35.800
<v Speaker 1>get yourself healthier. So yeah, fuck everybody else. Don't worry

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.239
<v Speaker 1>about other people, you know, spend a little bit less

0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>time on social media and a little bit more time

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 1>on like boosting yourself and telling yourself how great it is.

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 1>All these changes that you're telling me that you've just

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 1>made are incredible. That's incredible that you stopped drinking for

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 1>forty days. You have a new job. Look how happy

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you are. You're like, right, very happy. Yeah, you know,

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about I was like, Instagram does not

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 1>help me, but this whole situation be is like everybody

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I look at on fitness on Instagram, their world wonderful looking.

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, those are called filters. Yeah, yeah, they're

0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>called filters. Those aren't real people. By the way, you

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.880
<v Speaker 1>said something about being thirty two. One thing you gotta

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>always do is never use your age as an excuse, right,

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Just enjoy the moment that you're in right, Like, you're

0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in a healthy position right now. You stop drinking. Man,

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people take forever to even get over

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:29.680
<v Speaker 1>that hump, right, So it's like that's amazing. That has

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:31.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with age. It's just like your mental

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 1>fitness is beautiful right now. So maintain that. Don't sit

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.239
<v Speaker 1>there and go, I'm thirty two and I'm gonna be

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 1>thirty three next year, I'm gonna be forty. What are

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you doing? There's there's no read. Your whole life is

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 1>in front of you, man, So don't look at it

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 1>as a year to year things. Just your life. Who

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 1>gives a ship how old you are? And also, positivity

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>breeds more positivity. So when you're positive about yourself and

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>like you're really you know, feeling yourself, that's good. You're

0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:02.279
<v Speaker 1>attracting people. You track take people to that energy. And

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you're having those negative thoughts about yourself,

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:07.959
<v Speaker 1>you're negatively pushing people away. To keep that in mind,

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that's so true, man, People feed off of that. When

0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you're positive, people want to they want to taste the

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 1>juice you're drinking, you know, without you even trying to

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 1>sell it. It's just it's just you and everyone wants

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to be around that space, like yo, what is this

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 1>guy on? You know? But if you're moping around and depressed,

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.359
<v Speaker 1>people don't working around that. That's not who I want

0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to be and that's not who I am naturally and

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 1>like this, like that's what I was saying this is

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>going to help me get past that hump, Like who

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 1>cares fulcom in the gym? You know this. I'm here

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 1>for me. Y'all here for yourselves too. It's not like

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody's going there to watch people, you know, Like it's

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in my head. I guess that that I'm thinking that,

0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's just you know, And that's what my college

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:49.839
<v Speaker 1>roommates like got over that real quick. They never had

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 1>dec issue. I'm like, I can't be the only one

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 1>who's like a little shy, like on the work cup machines,

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to do too much or whatever. But no, I

0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I am a positive person and I'm going to take

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 1>this advice and I'll probably go to the gym right

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>after this. Actually I'm feeling it. And don't be scared

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>about making friends at the gym. I mean, you're so likable, like,

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 1>go up to people, you know, get help from from

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys or from girls or from whomever. Just be like, hey,

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm new here, I don't really know how to use

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:18.239
<v Speaker 1>this machine. I guarantee you will have no problem getting help.

0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's a sweet endearing quality. So yeah, keep

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>spreading positivity and everything's gonna come up, roses, especially with

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that hairline. Look at your hairline. Thank you. He doesn't

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>have a hairline. I don't have a hair line. Yeah, yeah,

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.719
<v Speaker 1>he's losing. He lost his hair when I shaved his

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>head a long time ago and sold his hair. But anyway,

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 1>good luck with everything. It was really nice to talk

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to you, John, Thanks, Jesse, thank you, thank you all

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:49.879
<v Speaker 1>so much. Follow up, let me know, like six months

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 1>down the road, how's it, how it's going, and what's

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 1>what happened with your gym experience and all that stuff. Okay,

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>keep in touch, yes Na, thank you? Okay, by cutie,

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh look him, cutie, honey. That was nice advice. And

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I love it how he always smiled every time every

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.160
<v Speaker 1>time we spoke about that. Yea. Our next question is,

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Dear Chelsea, I think I'm in love with my best friend.

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 1>For context, I am a twenty two year old male

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and so is he. We've been best friends since the

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 1>seventh grade and he's always been the one person I

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>can count on. After high school, he joined the service

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.879
<v Speaker 1>and was gone for three years. We stayed in touch

0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:28.120
<v Speaker 1>as much as we could, and since he's been back,

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:31.319
<v Speaker 1>he's been staying with me about two months ago, we

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 1>were both drunk and somehow started making out. I don't

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.280
<v Speaker 1>even remember how it started. I just remember not wanting

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:40.320
<v Speaker 1>it to end. I've always told people I was straight

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and always thought he was. I've dated girls before, but

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt anything like this. We haven't talked about

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 1>that night at all. The day after he began seeing

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>this girl who he's been spending the majority of his

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.879
<v Speaker 1>time with ever since. I feel like he purposefully makes

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it evident to me that it's nothing serious with her

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's just having fun. But I don't know how

0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 1>to take that. It's like he has this huge wall

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 1>up ever since we kissed, and I don't know what

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to do. Should I try to talk to him about it.

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Should I tell him how I feel? Should I take

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:11.400
<v Speaker 1>his sudden interest in this girl as my answer? Please

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 1>help me. I have no idea what I'm doing. Austin,

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, yeah, no, Yeah, you got to talk to

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 1>him and say something, because obviously if he's dating. Yeah, no,

0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you have to clear the air and understand what the

0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 1>situation is. You absolutely have to have a conversation with him,

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and it can't be over drinks. It has to be

0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in the light of day and sober, and him being

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>with a girl is trying to send you a message,

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.719
<v Speaker 1>but who knows what he's thinking. I mean, you know,

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.719
<v Speaker 1>like there's so many men that are feeling that way

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:42.640
<v Speaker 1>about other men, but don't think they're allowed to have

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that behavior. And I mean, it would be easier to

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 1>talk to him to understand the dynamic about their friendship,

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but you have to have a conversation. You have to

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.879
<v Speaker 1>clear the air and get it out there, and don't

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:53.800
<v Speaker 1>pretend what happened didn't happen. It doesn't matter if you

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>were drunk or not. You know, be the bigger person

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.800
<v Speaker 1>in the situation and just and whatever his answer is.

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 1>If he's like, I'm not interested, that that was one night,

0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:04.439
<v Speaker 1>then that's fine, that's it. That's fine, except that as

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 1>his truth for that the time being. But at least

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.839
<v Speaker 1>then you have your answer. And do you have any

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 1>advice for these two? I think it's done with that guy.

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is a future there. Well, they're

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're best friends and they remain best friends. But

0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 1>that's why when you're in love with somebody or you

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>have that type of feeling, I never want to act

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 1>on those feelings. When you're not sober. Yeah, but it's

0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:28.239
<v Speaker 1>too late. He already has I know, And this is

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 1>what I didn't want to happen in any relationship. I

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:34.759
<v Speaker 1>never want to go in without a clear mind, right.

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to act on what I was drinking

0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:40.759
<v Speaker 1>that night. You know that it's never real love at

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 1>that point, right, So your advice is to don't do

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that again. Don't hook up with him again drunk. It

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:47.719
<v Speaker 1>just don't let that happen. Yeah. If you ever have

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 1>feelings for someone that's bigger than just a friendship, don't

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:55.120
<v Speaker 1>act on it when you're not clear minded, right, like

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:56.879
<v Speaker 1>when you're drunk. That's not a good time because you're

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:58.839
<v Speaker 1>going to find yourself in this situation because the other

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:00.799
<v Speaker 1>person probably didn't even think of it that way. It

0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:04.520
<v Speaker 1>was just a hook up. Yeah, agreed, Agreed. Okay, So

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>stop getting so ship faced all the time. Problem solves well.

0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Our next question comes from Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a caller.

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>She's here with us. She's twenty seven. She's in Tennessee.

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:25.560
<v Speaker 1>She said, Dear Chelsea, I do not like my sister's partner.

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 1>My sister, Alice and I were members of a gym.

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It's another gym related one members of a gym where

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:33.879
<v Speaker 1>this man, Michael, was a staff member. For the first

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 1>several months of us being introduced to Michael, he was

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.400
<v Speaker 1>known as the creepy guy at the gym. At the time,

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>My sister had just turned eighteen and was a senior

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:46.840
<v Speaker 1>in high school. Michael was thirty years old at the time. Alice,

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>who's naturally more friendly and outgoing than I am, eventually

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:52.080
<v Speaker 1>began defending Michael when I would state that I was

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.800
<v Speaker 1>creeped out by him, but I dismissed it as typical

0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:58.320
<v Speaker 1>friendly Alice. There were early red flags like him convincing

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:00.840
<v Speaker 1>her to go off important medication in and a secret

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 1>camping trip before I found out they had secretly been

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 1>dating for the entire summer. Now three years later, Michael

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:10.400
<v Speaker 1>has not made any effort to get to know our family.

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 1>When he picks her up for dates, he sits at

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the end of the driveway, doesn't come to the door,

0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:17.479
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. I can count on one hand the number

0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of times he has held a conversation with my parents

0:44:19.840 --> 0:44:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and me. Alice has also cut herself off from friends,

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:26.240
<v Speaker 1>so she has had minimal interaction with anyone but Michael.

0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Speaking for myself, I cannot accept him. I can confidently

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 1>say that my sister was groomed by him during a

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.640
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable and transitional time of her life, and he has

0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:39.880
<v Speaker 1>knowingly isolated her from everyone but himself. Now, Michael is

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.360
<v Speaker 1>moving out of his parents house and Alice will be

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:44.759
<v Speaker 1>moving in with him. How do I continue to work

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:47.200
<v Speaker 1>on my relationship with my sister when such a large

0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 1>part of her life upsets me so much? Elizabeth? Oh,

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that's terrible. That's such a bummer when your sister gets

0:44:56.080 --> 0:45:01.759
<v Speaker 1>hijacked by an asshole. Hi, Elizabeth, Hi, Hi, how are you?

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm good? How about you? I'm good? This is my lover,

0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Joe KOI Hello, Joki. He's our guest today. We're just

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:10.719
<v Speaker 1>talking about love, and I guess so are you, because

0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about the love for your sister. Right, Yes,

0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:22.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody just came up to your wind. She's like, hold on,

0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I gotta fill this bag up with an order. So

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 1>is your sister younger or older than you? She is

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:31.560
<v Speaker 1>five years younger? Okay? And how many other siblings do

0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you have? It's just us, just the two of you,

0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and you've always been pretty tight. We've always been pretty tight.

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:40.520
<v Speaker 1>This kind of overlapped with me coming home from school

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and her going away, so there was that transition happening,

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and so he kind of swooped in right as shoes,

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 1>becoming one of my peers in a way. And so

0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just kind of gotten a wedge into this relationship.

0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:59.640
<v Speaker 1>And your parents feel the same way that you do. Yes, yeah,

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Other than her knowing that you thought he was creepy

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 1>at the gym and stuff, have you had a real

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 1>conversation with her sitting down and expressing the concerns you

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 1>have about his relationship with her and your family. Yes,

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:14.040
<v Speaker 1>And in the beginning, there were definitely conversations that we

0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:17.360
<v Speaker 1>had expressing our concerns about this relationship because of the

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 1>age gap and just the different stages of life there.

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was just, so, what's the age gap again?

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>So she was eighteen when he was thirty. Twelve year gap.

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Now the age gap doesn't necessarily mean as much, but

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but she's what now? Oh so they've been together for

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 1>four years now. Yeah, it's hard to break up. I know,

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:47.000
<v Speaker 1>what is it about him that you hated? Like, just

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 1>what's the main thing when they first started dating? That

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>was it? The age? It was I felt like he

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 1>swooped in at a impressionable time in her life and

0:46:56.840 --> 0:47:00.120
<v Speaker 1>it was very opportunistic. So like her first weekend she

0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 1>went away to college, he came and to grow off

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the grid basically. And he hasn't ever validated that we

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:12.200
<v Speaker 1>had reason to be concerned for her, or that we

0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 1>would feel somewhat offended that he didn't make any sort

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of effort to get back into our good graces. So

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's that character flaw, and there are other examples. But

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is he a bad guy? I mean, like that's not

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 1>great behavior, but is he Yeah, he doesn't have the

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:32.600
<v Speaker 1>greatest personality either. Yeah. Unfortunately, that's not enough of a

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.200
<v Speaker 1>reason to make somebody break up with somebody because somebody's

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:38.560
<v Speaker 1>personality isn't good enough. Right. I'm not going to say

0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the age isn't the thing as well, but eighteen isn't

0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a good time for you to be you know, the

0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>rules should be wait till she has experiences, you know,

0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean like two and he was thirty. Yeah, I

0:47:53.440 --> 0:47:55.320
<v Speaker 1>get it, but like eighteen, you just got out of

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.800
<v Speaker 1>high school. Man, you don't know anything else what high school?

0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:01.719
<v Speaker 1>So I get that, and I can understand where your

0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 1>concern was, but is he a bad guy? He's not

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a bad guy. I just need to know how to

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.359
<v Speaker 1>move past those feelings I have about him with them

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 1>then and move forward with my sister. Right. I don't

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:19.279
<v Speaker 1>need to like him, but I don't want to have

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a relationship with my sister. I mean, you don't have

0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to like him, but like your sister. You know, it's

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 1>like it's like, yeah, you want to you want to

0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:31.000
<v Speaker 1>mend that relationship with your sister, but how do you

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:33.440
<v Speaker 1>mend something when you go I like you, I just

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:36.840
<v Speaker 1>don't like him, right, So it's like I guess every Christmas,

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll just see you for like an hour and then

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you go back to him. Like what happens over the

0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:45.360
<v Speaker 1>holidays like Christmas? Is does he come? No? He doesn't,

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:49.080
<v Speaker 1>So she comes by herself? Does she go see his family? So,

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 1>up until a couple of weeks ago when she moved

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:53.399
<v Speaker 1>in with him, she had still been living at home.

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:57.719
<v Speaker 1>She switched to all online classes after meeting him, and

0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 1>so she was living at home while he was still

0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:03.200
<v Speaker 1>living at home. So we haven't really run into that.

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Is she traveling back for holidays yet? And where are they?

0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:08.839
<v Speaker 1>How far away are they from? Where you are. They're

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:12.080
<v Speaker 1>about two hours away, kind of out in the country

0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in small town. Yeah, I would say you need to

0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:18.040
<v Speaker 1>figure out a way to a just focus on the

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.440
<v Speaker 1>love you have for your sister and keeping your family intact,

0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:23.200
<v Speaker 1>because that is your responsibility that everyone in a family

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:26.839
<v Speaker 1>bears like you are responsible for communicating and making sure

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:30.759
<v Speaker 1>that you are just reciprocating, right, And it's unfortunate, But

0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the reality is that she's been with him for four

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:35.360
<v Speaker 1>years now, she's two hours away, so you've got to

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:38.839
<v Speaker 1>just lay off disliking him and focus on loving her,

0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, and making sure that she knows if and

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.200
<v Speaker 1>when the time comes that she is ready to like

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:46.600
<v Speaker 1>jump ship, that you are going to welcome her with

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:48.880
<v Speaker 1>open arms and not. And I told you so. We

0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:51.279
<v Speaker 1>never liked him. She already knows that she knows you

0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:53.360
<v Speaker 1>don't like him. I've dated guys that I know my

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:55.319
<v Speaker 1>family didn't like, and no one said anything and I

0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 1>still knew. But I think you that you didn't even like.

0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 1>We've all dated people that we didn't like heavy. Do

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you have a boyfriend or a husband? No, I don't, Okay,

0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think you should just focus on your relationship

0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:10.760
<v Speaker 1>with her. You know, even overdo it to a point

0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you're filling in for any sort

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of love she may feel like she's missing, because usually

0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:17.680
<v Speaker 1>when you end up with a guy like that and

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't really have any interest in knowing your family

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:22.799
<v Speaker 1>or getting to know your family or doing stuff like that,

0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it's because he's trying to just isolate you. And you know,

0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you have your own little bubble and that's not good

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 1>for families. So like any sort of chasm that you

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:34.279
<v Speaker 1>create or space that you create between her is going

0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to be a price that you guys are gonna pay,

0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You and your parents are gonna pay, because she's just

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:41.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna be pushed further into him, you know. So you

0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:43.719
<v Speaker 1>just want to make as much of an effort even

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:46.680
<v Speaker 1>with him, even if it's fake, Just make as much

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of an effort as you can, you know, make the

0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:51.080
<v Speaker 1>effort to go see her for the two hours, Make

0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the effort to see them both for the two hours,

0:50:53.440 --> 0:50:56.279
<v Speaker 1>so that it's demonstrated time and time again that you

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:59.440
<v Speaker 1>will keep showing up and that whenever she is ready,

0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:02.239
<v Speaker 1>if and when she knows that she can come to

0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:04.279
<v Speaker 1>you and it's going to be a safe place, and

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that you'll support her instead of her being in a

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:09.080
<v Speaker 1>situation where she feels like she doesn't have any family

0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to reach out to. And how are your parents dealing

0:51:12.080 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with it? We've all pretty much fallen into that, like

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:18.840
<v Speaker 1>we can't protest too much because then she won't have

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:21.000
<v Speaker 1>anywhere to go. Um, So it's kind of it's kind

0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:23.440
<v Speaker 1>of like that they're obviously not crazy about him. But

0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and have you guys ever talked about having like an

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 1>intervention with her at some point? We have talked to

0:51:29.040 --> 0:51:32.360
<v Speaker 1>her before and it just doesn't do any good. It

0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:36.920
<v Speaker 1>pushes her away, interrupt them. Sorry, we're still sounding like

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.640
<v Speaker 1>is a horrible man, Like you know, like have no

0:51:41.680 --> 0:51:44.239
<v Speaker 1>offense Chelsea, But like, have you guys had an intervention?

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:46.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like what are you having an intervention on? Like

0:51:46.640 --> 0:51:50.160
<v Speaker 1>she's still in love? I mean we can't say she's not.

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:55.000
<v Speaker 1>She's not being held hostage, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the situation was a twelve year old, twelve year gap,

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:01.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's like he's still been together for four years

0:52:01.760 --> 0:52:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, I don't know, maybe there's a time

0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:06.600
<v Speaker 1>where you guys have to like, hey, can you bring

0:52:06.640 --> 0:52:09.040
<v Speaker 1>him over? Let's have a dinner. Let's let's all get

0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to know him. Yeah. I think that's more of an

0:52:11.520 --> 0:52:13.520
<v Speaker 1>effort that you need to do for your sister because

0:52:13.560 --> 0:52:16.960
<v Speaker 1>she's in love and she fox up and in ten

0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:18.759
<v Speaker 1>years for now she's like, god, damn it, he was

0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:21.120
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, and just be like, you don't have to

0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:23.399
<v Speaker 1>say I told you, but welcome. I knew we were

0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:26.120
<v Speaker 1>here for you. But right now, she's in love, right, right,

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>right right, didn't interned as a wrong word. She's not

0:52:28.440 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>being abused or anything like that that you're aware of

0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:34.399
<v Speaker 1>or I knew what you meant. Yeah, so that you're

0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:38.520
<v Speaker 1>right honey this time, and you should I get an

0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:42.319
<v Speaker 1>intervention last week. So yeah, it's called agua kalian. That's

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 1>our safe work. I think you just have to overdose

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:46.680
<v Speaker 1>her with love. Just be there for her and make

0:52:46.719 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 1>an effort with him, even if it makes you sick.

0:52:48.880 --> 0:52:50.799
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be the bigger person, right, you're

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:53.319
<v Speaker 1>a big sister, and this is an opportunity to act

0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:55.400
<v Speaker 1>like a big sister. Just be there for her in

0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:58.280
<v Speaker 1>spades over and over again. Make sure that you're always

0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 1>communicating with her so that she as you're there and

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the same for you. If you can talk to your

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:06.280
<v Speaker 1>parents to do the same thing, because when people feel that,

0:53:06.680 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they retreat. If you feel like, oh, my friends don't

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:11.040
<v Speaker 1>like my boyfriend, then I'm not going to bring my

0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend around my friends. You know. You know what I

0:53:13.600 --> 0:53:17.399
<v Speaker 1>think would be cool? Elizabeth? It's Elizabeth, right, Yes, I

0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:20.839
<v Speaker 1>think my name is Chelsea. Okay, I didn't know who

0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:23.839
<v Speaker 1>you were talking to. I think it would be kind

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of cool if you go, what's your sister's name, Alice?

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:29.560
<v Speaker 1>You should call Alice and go, hey, you know, would

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:32.919
<v Speaker 1>be fun. You me and your boyfriend go get something

0:53:32.960 --> 0:53:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to drink. Let's just hang out or eat or go

0:53:36.480 --> 0:53:38.840
<v Speaker 1>do something. Let's just let's just hang out, just to

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 1>initiate that. It's not like I want to get to

0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.319
<v Speaker 1>know him or is he better or whatever, just like, hey,

0:53:43.440 --> 0:53:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is it cool to be hanging out one night? Watch

0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:48.080
<v Speaker 1>how she acts, Watch how he acts. It's probably gonna

0:53:48.080 --> 0:53:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be a completely different situation and you're probably gonna end

0:53:51.280 --> 0:53:55.759
<v Speaker 1>up liking the guy. Well, maybe maybe it is worth

0:53:55.760 --> 0:53:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a shot. It's worth because what you're doing isn't working, right,

0:53:58.200 --> 0:54:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Like for you guys, having all this kind of negative

0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:03.360
<v Speaker 1>energy towards him isn't working. He feels it. She feels it,

0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's why they're probably two hours away. So if

0:54:06.520 --> 0:54:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you can just reverse all of that negativity into positivity,

0:54:10.080 --> 0:54:12.040
<v Speaker 1>even if you're there and you're at dinner with him

0:54:12.200 --> 0:54:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's not saying anything, it's just like, instead of

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:17.960
<v Speaker 1>having those negative feelings, have positive ones like, oh, how

0:54:18.000 --> 0:54:20.359
<v Speaker 1>can I engage? What can I what kind of question

0:54:20.400 --> 0:54:23.080
<v Speaker 1>can I ask him to make him start talking about something?

0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 1>What's happening and transpired so far hasn't worked, So you

0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 1>have to completely try a different approach, and I guarantee

0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:31.480
<v Speaker 1>you you'll get different results. With every different approach, there

0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:34.239
<v Speaker 1>are different results. And mind you, the more you don't

0:54:34.320 --> 0:54:38.359
<v Speaker 1>like him, the more she's gonna like him. Yeah, that's

0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:40.640
<v Speaker 1>also a problem. I had that experience with one of

0:54:40.680 --> 0:54:43.160
<v Speaker 1>my friends once and we all told her and then

0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they got married. So that doesn't really work either, especially

0:54:47.000 --> 0:54:49.160
<v Speaker 1>when there's really no legitimate reason not to like him.

0:54:49.160 --> 0:54:53.719
<v Speaker 1>It's just his personality seems lame. Yeah, so does that

0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:57.160
<v Speaker 1>help you at all? Elizabeth? It does, And you're right,

0:54:57.200 --> 0:54:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I need to focus more on being positive about this

0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:03.680
<v Speaker 1>suation and yeah, just think about yeah, yeah, I really

0:55:03.719 --> 0:55:05.680
<v Speaker 1>do try and think about that. How you can kind

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:07.239
<v Speaker 1>of flip the switch on that. There's a lot of

0:55:07.239 --> 0:55:09.560
<v Speaker 1>meditations to that help you do that. To get all

0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the kind of negative stuff out and replace it with

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:13.960
<v Speaker 1>positive stuff. It's important to do that. Like I, I

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:16.760
<v Speaker 1>have that issue a lot with respect to certain things,

0:55:17.000 --> 0:55:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and I just try to always be like, Okay, anytime

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:20.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a negative thought, I try to replace it with

0:55:20.880 --> 0:55:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a positive one. You know, another thing, too, Chelsea, is

0:55:23.719 --> 0:55:25.960
<v Speaker 1>when you spend a lot of negative energy on something

0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't have to do with you, you start neglecting

0:55:29.040 --> 0:55:32.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself and that sucks. She'll just love you so much

0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:35.960
<v Speaker 1>more if you are just really reaching out instead of

0:55:35.960 --> 0:55:38.480
<v Speaker 1>withdrawing for him him, you know, especially if you make

0:55:38.520 --> 0:55:41.600
<v Speaker 1>an effort with him that's indisputable. When she sees that,

0:55:41.760 --> 0:55:44.760
<v Speaker 1>now blood is thicker than water, it's like my sister.

0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Now she's going to take your side because if he

0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:49.480
<v Speaker 1>denies the lunch and she's like, well, you know what,

0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:52.120
<v Speaker 1>then she's fucking right. You are a piece of ship

0:55:52.160 --> 0:55:56.319
<v Speaker 1>because she asked you out. Yeah, I get it. Thank you.

0:55:57.280 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Well that would be do you have venmo because we're

0:55:59.160 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna actually charge. We don't charge on this podcast. Okay,

0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a private thing that you do on your podcast, Elizabeth,

0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:07.200
<v Speaker 1>if you could just send me your venom, I'm going

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to charge you just for my pution. I'll drop in

0:56:09.320 --> 0:56:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the chat. Okay, thank you, thank you, Elizabeth. But check

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in with us, Okay, check in with us later and

0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 1>let us know what happens. Okay, thank Okay. If they

0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:21.800
<v Speaker 1>ever break up, we'll have a big party. All right, Okay, bye, Okay,

0:56:21.840 --> 0:56:23.600
<v Speaker 1>we're going to take another break so Joe and I

0:56:23.640 --> 0:56:28.000
<v Speaker 1>can make love. Joe, you look like you need a

0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:30.839
<v Speaker 1>little advice. Yeah, do you have anything that you need

0:56:30.880 --> 0:56:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to ask me? Yeah? How about if I just ask you.

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I deal with a family that holds grudges, and I

0:56:37.440 --> 0:56:40.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like every time I say it on stage, I'm

0:56:40.040 --> 0:56:42.600
<v Speaker 1>not the only person. I'm not alone. I feel like

0:56:42.600 --> 0:56:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it's very common within my community, my people. Yeah, you

0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:53.280
<v Speaker 1>mean in our culture, it is a thing that grudges

0:56:53.320 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>are a big thing. How do we deal with that

0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:58.320
<v Speaker 1>without destroying the family? I told you I'm going to

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:03.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to your mother. No, but I mean even in general,

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:06.080
<v Speaker 1>like I'm pretty sure not just Filipinos, but everybody has

0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that conflict within the family where there's a grudge but

0:57:10.920 --> 0:57:15.239
<v Speaker 1>no one's able to talk about it. But there's this grudge. Yeah,

0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you know me, I like language, so I am always

0:57:17.520 --> 0:57:21.800
<v Speaker 1>for communicating and overly communicating until you know, you wear

0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:25.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody down with language. I know what you're talking about personally,

0:57:25.160 --> 0:57:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and I know that that it's not obviously Filipino thing.

0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:30.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a world thing. People hold grudges against each other,

0:57:30.680 --> 0:57:33.440
<v Speaker 1>but it can be stronger in different cultures. But you know,

0:57:33.520 --> 0:57:35.479
<v Speaker 1>you can't go to a dry well for water, right,

0:57:35.560 --> 0:57:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Like what's the point. But there's a different avenue always

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to get what you want, you know, being in a

0:57:40.040 --> 0:57:43.040
<v Speaker 1>relationship with me, Like, there's different ways to go about

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:47.160
<v Speaker 1>those things. So whatever you've done thus far, it doesn't work.

0:57:47.880 --> 0:57:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's time to think of a new avenue. And

0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:51.960
<v Speaker 1>now you've got to be willing to talk to somebody

0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:54.360
<v Speaker 1>that wants to talk though, and that's what sucks. Yeah,

0:57:54.440 --> 0:57:57.360
<v Speaker 1>that's how do we conquer that? Because with you, the

0:57:57.400 --> 0:58:00.800
<v Speaker 1>relationship with you is great because you love to talk

0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and when you see something wrong, you want to you

0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:06.680
<v Speaker 1>want to finish that right away, right, and I love

0:58:06.720 --> 0:58:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that about you. We'll talk about it right now. We're

0:58:09.160 --> 0:58:12.880
<v Speaker 1>not waiting right right, but I would encourage that to

0:58:12.920 --> 0:58:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you to do that with your family members to like

0:58:15.080 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 1>not on the phone, show up like in person, being like, listen,

0:58:18.920 --> 0:58:22.479
<v Speaker 1>this is it. Let's have this conversation right now. Let's

0:58:22.520 --> 0:58:25.040
<v Speaker 1>sit down and talk. Don't walk away from me. This

0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is it. This is our moment to get this out

0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in the open. I'm serious about it. And I think

0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:32.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when people try and do that over phone calls

0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:34.840
<v Speaker 1>or text or emails, obviously that doesn't work, you know

0:58:34.920 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. But face to face has a different impact.

0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And like, it is important to sit down and look

0:58:40.400 --> 0:58:43.040
<v Speaker 1>someone in the eye and say what you're feeling, because

0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:45.120
<v Speaker 1>people have to see your emotions and they have to

0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:46.960
<v Speaker 1>see how much it hurts you that a grudge is

0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:50.200
<v Speaker 1>being held, and how baseless that is and how short

0:58:50.280 --> 0:58:53.360
<v Speaker 1>life is and how small that behavior is. So I

0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:55.840
<v Speaker 1>would just say talk. I would say, just push it.

0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, the next time you're in a position to

0:58:58.360 --> 0:59:01.080
<v Speaker 1>confront that person, go and go out of your way,

0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:03.920
<v Speaker 1>set aside the time and go and have that conversation,

0:59:04.520 --> 0:59:07.360
<v Speaker 1>because you'd be surprised. You know, people just give up,

0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's half the problem. I think people hate swallowing

0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:13.000
<v Speaker 1>their own pride to what they do. People hate to

0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:16.640
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. But if you know that then you already

0:59:16.640 --> 0:59:20.720
<v Speaker 1>have an advantage over the person that hates to be wrong. Right,

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you know that, so you can act in a bigger way.

0:59:24.440 --> 0:59:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Great problem solved. Okay, So thank you for joining us

0:59:27.760 --> 0:59:30.800
<v Speaker 1>on our season two premiere episode, Joe Coy. It was

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:34.640
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure having you as usual. And what else do

0:59:34.680 --> 0:59:36.680
<v Speaker 1>we want to say? Joe? Oh? You know what I

0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 1>want to say to girls out there who have guys

0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:43.120
<v Speaker 1>in their lives that they think are their friends, or

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that they don't necessarily feel like there's an attraction or

0:59:47.520 --> 0:59:50.560
<v Speaker 1>they feel like a brother dynamic, I would really encourage

0:59:50.560 --> 0:59:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you to just really consider how important it is to

0:59:55.560 --> 0:59:59.480
<v Speaker 1>have somebody who loves and respects you like that is,

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:02.040
<v Speaker 1>barn on, the most important thing that you can get

1:00:02.080 --> 1:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>from another human being, never mind somebody that you're in

1:00:05.200 --> 1:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>love with. So that is the foundation of everything, right,

1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>is love and respect. You want to be seen and

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you want to be heard, and if you have somebody

1:00:13.400 --> 1:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>in your life that is like that, and you think,

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>oh no, please be a little bit more open minded,

1:00:18.880 --> 1:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>because I'm the happiest I've ever been and it's because

1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I finally had an open mind instead of a closed one.

1:00:25.720 --> 1:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think we can end on that I love you.

1:00:28.720 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>How's that I want to end on that, thanks for coming, Joe.

1:00:31.440 --> 1:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe and I are going to go to the airport

1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>right now, and then we're going to spend six hours

1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>looking at each other from across the aisle on the plane,

1:00:38.040 --> 1:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>probably while he takes pictures of me, because that's what

1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>our last flight was like. Right and then and then

1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>she looks like she's building a nest. That's what her look. Immediately.

1:00:50.640 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I put it in reclined before we even take off.

1:00:53.120 --> 1:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I have my pillow ready as put my socks on. Snacks. Yeah, TV,

1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't work. Even though it does work, I can't

1:01:03.120 --> 1:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>work it anyway. That's enough. Thank you, have a great week.

1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you next week. And if you want to

1:01:09.560 --> 1:01:11.280
