1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
People sending me like a meme, 
they think that they're so, 

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,440
they're so funny. 
They're like, oh if, if it's 

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,840
cheaper to hire a woman doctor, 
why wouldn't they all hire women

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,960
doctors? 
I was like, Oh my God, flames on

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,840
the side of my face. 
I'm like, that is enraging me. 

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,600
And it reminds me of a 
conversation that I had with my 

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,280
ex where I was like, it is so 
ridiculous. 

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,120
Like how few women directors are
nominated for Oscars and all 

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,120
this stuff. 
And he was like, well, maybe 

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,640
they're not making as many 
movies. 

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480
And I'm just like, yeah, because
people aren't hiring as many 

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,560
women directed. 
Like it's, it's all from 

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,400
stemming from the same issue 
where it's like we are not given

14
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,720
giving women these opportunities
or they are, you know, supposed 

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,520
to be the primary caregiver. 
And so, yeah, maybe they don't 

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,800
go out and get that medical 
degree because we're assuming 

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,040
that they're going to stay home 
and with the kids, so. 

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Putting in so much emotional and
unpaid work and they're that's 

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,920
not recognized. 
And when they are doing the paid

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,960
work, they're not recognized 
either because there's not that 

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,520
much women presentation in the 
male dominant field. 

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Yeah, they're not. 
So, Brid, what's keeping you up 

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,840
tonight? 
What's keeping me up tonight is 

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,360
women who stay way too long with
men who don't deserve it. 

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080
So I think my thesis is dump his
ass. 

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,320
Like, that's it. 
Yeah, that's it. 

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,240
It's dump his ass. 
You remember Britney Spears wore

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,000
that iconic shirt? 
That's a dump him. 

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,160
That is, that is my message to 
so many women, so many young 

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,320
women in this. 
Country. 

31
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,440
Is that your message to yourself
younger? 

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Yes, I'm like get out of there 
sooner. 

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,720
Wait, what's your story? 
I want to know more about your 

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,360
story for the for the viewers 
who are not familiar. 

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,600
With it? 
Absolutely. 

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,680
If you don't mind. 
No, this is, this is what I'm 

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,360
here for. 
I will say I went through a 

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,880
string of bad boyfriends and 
then got into a very toxic 

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
relationship that I Oh my God. 
You didn't learn your lesson. 

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,680
I did not learn my lesson and I 
wish I could go back in time and

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,240
tell my younger self that it's 
not weird that I got into a 

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
really bad relationship and I 
ended up marrying the guy. 

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,479
That's how bad it is. 
Yeah, you know when you say way 

44
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,120
too long sunk cost fallacy. 
Don't don't fall for it. 

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,600
You know, you thought. 
Exactly. 

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,960
Oh my God, so smart you've 
learned. 

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,640
I've learned. 
I've learned from my mistakes. 

48
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,680
Yeah. 
You think you put in too much 

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
time and you're like, I need to 
stay and you don't. 

50
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,960
And kind of more importantly, I 
don't think that you should be 

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,000
arguing in your relationship. 
And I know that that's a hot 

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280
take, but. 
You don't. 

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,480
You shouldn't be arguing. 
I don't think you're arguing. 

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,840
What if there's an argument in 
the relationship? 

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960
So dump his ass. 
Yeah, dump his ass. 

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,440
But I I really feel like I 
should be a professor. 

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800
Like I really feel like I am. 
I have like a master's degree in

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,640
bad relationships. 
You actually, No, I should, I 

59
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:56,400
think I should get an honorary 
degree from NYU like Taylor 

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,240
Swift. 
Yeah. 

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,800
Yeah, but here's the thing. 
I'm in a new relationship now. 

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Congrats. 
Thank you. 

63
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,840
Yeah. 
And we don't argue at all. 

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,560
We disagree. 
OK, what's the difference? 

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,040
I think the difference is 
arguing is like the type of 

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,880
arguments that I was in. 
Were these like loud all out 

67
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,880
brawls? 
OK, where? 

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360
Wait, that's not healthy. 
No, it's not healthy at all. 

69
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,120
But I think that a lot of people
stay because they a maybe get 

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,640
addicted to that toxicity. 
Some people find it really 

71
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,880
exciting to fight and I don't 
know why. 

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Well, sometimes. 
Well, now you're thinking of. 

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120
No, I'm thinking about it. 
You're like, I love makeup sex 

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,880
and that's fun. 
After that is a big fight. 

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160
Probably. 
Maybe that's why people argue 

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,000
it's for the makeup sex. 
Maybe. 

77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Yeah, it's so not worth it. 
No, it's not sorry. 

78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,600
You're what's your point? 
What's? 

79
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Your Oh, no, totally. 
So I think I think that, Oh, 

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,600
wait, yeah. 
A, like you, you might be like, 

81
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,440
really addicted to it or, B, do 
you think that that is 

82
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,080
acceptable because maybe you 
grew up in a home where yelling 

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,960
was really acceptable? 
Me. 

84
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Yeah. 
And so you let someone yell at 

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,400
you. 
And this isn't just for hetero 

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,200
relationships, but I do find 
more so as a bisexual woman, 

87
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,519
that I was being yelled at by 
men, specifically one man. 

88
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,800
And he was yelling a lot. 
And he was, you know, poking 

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,560
holes in the drywall or punching
holes in the drywall and. 

90
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,520
No. 
It's OK. 

91
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,160
Hey, look at look at where I am 
now. 

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440
I'm in this beautiful pink 
bedroom. 

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,480
Look at. 
That, and he's not. 

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,520
And he's not. 
Yeah. 

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,640
And I'm in a healthy 
relationship now. 

96
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,920
And I feel like that is the 
point. 

97
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Oh, my God. 
Speaking of, do you want to tell

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,840
me lies? 
No, wait, tell me. 

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,440
Tell me lies. 
Tell me lies. 

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Yeah. 
You're like, tell me about it. 

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Tell me about it. 
I want, I actually want to send 

102
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,000
this message out. 
The women of of tell me lies. 

103
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,960
If you were with a man like 
Steven Run, you do not need to 

104
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,160
stay with that guy. 
That's that is the prototype. 

105
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,560
I'm like that kind of man. 
He's like this manipulative 

106
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,400
lying. 
What's toxic? 

107
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080
That is the guy. 
Is that something that reminds 

108
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,280
you of the bad boyfriends? 
Yes, he reminds me, my 

109
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,520
ex-husband. 
He came on screen and I was 

110
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,120
like, Oh my God. 
That is the way that he lies, 

111
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,480
the ease with which he lies. 
He lies like breathing. 

112
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,720
Is there an example like from 
yourself or from the show if you

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,800
don't mind sharing? 
Totally. 

114
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Oh my God no. 
Well here's the thing. 

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,680
My ex-husband. 
He lied and cheated in a lot of 

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400
crazy creative ways. 
More than one time. 

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Oh yeah, totally. 
But I stayed because I was 

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,560
dropped. 
You know, you just feel like you

119
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640
can't get out. 
But the last straw was that he 

120
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000
was exchanging nudes with a ball
on Instagram. 

121
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,520
What? 
Oh my God, what? 

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Yeah, really. 
You know, sometimes they're 

123
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,960
really convincing looking and I 
have to give them that. 

124
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,040
That's like pre AI, Yeah. 
Pre AI, Yeah, that's crazy. 

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,440
This is in 2023, OK, So it's 
before they got really good. 

126
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,280
Yeah, and that wasn't even AI. 
Like, how did he get into it? 

127
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:02,240
Like he believed that it was a 
real person. 

128
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,160
Yeah, and he was talking to her 
for, I guess a while and then, 

129
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
yeah, really crazy. 
Problem that sounds like like. 

130
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,480
Boomers, I know. 
I don't know, sorry for calling 

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,720
out boomers. 
Do not be sorry for tearing down

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,560
that man. 
He deserves every single time I 

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,520
mentioned it, but you know that 
And then like this guy on the 

134
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880
show that I'm sorry, I keep 
talking about this show, but I'm

135
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,560
just really obsessed with. 
It right now tell. 

136
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:36,800
Me lies, but you know this guy 
like, you know, lie about like 

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,640
who he saw that day and like who
he was talking to and he was 

138
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,120
talking to an ex and stuff like 
that. 

139
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280
And it's like, oh, that was just
so classic. 

140
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,800
And you don't have to put up 
with that. 

141
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,680
No, you don't say yeah, I well, 
what if you OK, Yeah, yeah, my 

142
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,200
my hypotheticals. 
My turn on that is that you do 

143
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,840
it to the other person to for 
revenge. 

144
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,840
You give revenge. 
You like sleep with his best 

145
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,200
friend, Yeah. 
You like lie and like you, I 

146
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,360
don't know, you mastered that 
way of lying like, you know, 

147
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,560
like, just like breathing. 
I'm like 2 wrongs don't make it 

148
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,040
right and you got to get out, 
you got to dump him like right, 

149
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
you just have to leave and. 
That's the healthy way. 

150
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,600
More mature. 
Way that is the healthy way. 

151
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,440
And I feel like I don't look 
back like you go and you don't 

152
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,680
you don't even look at the rear 
view. 

153
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Like I have no regrets. 
And so I hope that someone 

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,000
listening to this is like, Oh my
God, I'm with this guy and he 

155
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
keeps lying and cheating and 
yelling and they're like, wait, 

156
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,920
I could just have a happier 
life. 

157
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,440
I'm you in the future and I'm 
happier and better for him. 

158
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,040
This is APSA, Yeah, to all the 
anybody who's listening who is 

159
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,080
in an abusive relationship. 
Exactly, you should leave. 

160
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,160
You should leave his ass. 
Yeah, and sometimes even I feel 

161
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,840
like sometimes it's not even the
yelling. 

162
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Sometimes it's the, you know, 
the ignorant, the avoidance. 

163
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Yeah, that's like hurtful too. 
That's also like, manipulative. 

164
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Absolutely. 
So if you're feeling like you're

165
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,400
being emotionally abused or 
verbally abused, yeah. 

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Dump his ass. 
Dump his ass. 

167
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Yeah. 
And I even think we can apply 

168
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120
dump his ass to so many other 
things. 

169
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Like I'm a big believer in that.
He if he wanted to, he would. 

170
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Yeah, I agree. 
I know that it's been said. 

171
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,680
It is so true. 
I'm just like, if your situation

172
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,559
ship is leaving you hanging, if 
you're like, you know, feeling 

173
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,880
like someone isn't giving you 
their full attention, I'm like, 

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,559
get out of there. 
OK, I wish younger me can 

175
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,440
understand that too. 
That's something. 

176
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800
Yeah, me too. 
I wish. 

177
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,560
And here's the thing, I think 
that sometimes we have to learn 

178
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,560
the lessons for ourselves and 
that's why we don't. 

179
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,280
But I don't know. 
I don't know if I had this much 

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,720
access to like other women in 
media where I didn't. 

181
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
I didn't have the tools. 
I didn't hear the advice. 

182
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:03,840
Oh, you. 
Oh. 

183
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,520
I see what you mean. 
Yeah. 

184
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,200
You know, Yeah. 
Like, like you said, the show, 

185
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,880
it's still the women's, the 
victim. 

186
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Yeah. 
Did they like, depict her to 

187
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,320
like, you know, dump his? 
Ass. 

188
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,880
So I'm OK. 
This is where it gets tricky. 

189
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,440
I'm only on season 2. 
OK, you don't know yet. 

190
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,840
I know there's a season 3 but 
no, I mean she season 1 it ends 

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,360
pretty badly for her. 
Like she gets dumped and I'm 

192
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,040
like, see, you got to leave him 
first. 

193
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Yeah, you got to have it like, 
examples in the media for women.

194
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Like, what do you do? 
Like, what's a good situation? 

195
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,200
What's a? 
You know what you should do 

196
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,400
instead? 
Of what you should do. 

197
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,160
And yeah, I don't well, like 
like this, like this podcast 

198
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,680
we're we're teaching. 
Yes, this is an informative 

199
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,160
thing. 
Yeah. 

200
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,560
And so I didn't have this 
growing up. 

201
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:53,040
And so I think I let dudes walk 
all over. 

202
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,200
Me, I agree. 
I feel like something that 

203
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,760
really helped me with like, 
going over breakups is, yeah, 

204
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,240
looking at other women's Tik 
toks about like you get the fuck

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,680
up like. 
Guys, yeah. 

206
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,320
And just being the proof that 
life does go on and you will get

207
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,600
through it and it will get 
better and you will find someone

208
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,640
else. 
It's like all of these lessons 

209
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,520
that I feel like maybe I heard 
of. 

210
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080
Yeah, that I just didn't believe
or didn't understand. 

211
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Like there's so many other fish 
in the sea that's. 

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Literally true. 
That is true, but sometimes when

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800
you're in the zone of like 
grieving, you don't. 

214
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,720
It doesn't get. 
Into your mind, but. 

215
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,280
No, you just see time heals all 
wounds. 

216
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Yeah, I'm, I'm a Hallmark card 
right now. 

217
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,680
I'm just saying all the like. 
No, I love it. 

218
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440
That's what I need to remember. 
Sometimes when I'm in the zone, 

219
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,120
I don't remember those things. 
I need someone to like, be like,

220
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,720
nagging me, like in my ears all 
the time. 

221
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Like there's more fish in the 
sea and like, what else? 

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Give me more. 
So there's that. 

223
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,800
There are more efficiency. 
Oh yeah, I'll. 

224
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Just say all. 
All the things that have been 

225
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,280
true, that have proven to be 
true, if he wanted to, he would.

226
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,520
Time heals all wounds. 
Because it's, I mean, really all

227
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,560
you do need is a certain amount 
of time. 

228
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:05,600
I don't know what amount of time
it's going to be, but you will 

229
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,680
get over it and you will stop 
praying about it. 

230
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,960
Yes, like that literally has 
happened. 

231
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,120
It might take some time, but 
it's going to happen. 

232
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880
What's another cliche that is 
unfortunately true You. 

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,480
Said time heals all wounds. 
That one, I'm I'm trying to 

234
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,920
think of ones that also aren't 
true, where I don't really like 

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680
when people say it'll happen 
when you're not looking. 

236
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Oh, that one used to annoy me 
really, because I'm always 

237
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,520
looking. 
I'm like. 

238
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
So how did it happen for you? 
So now you're in a good 

239
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,160
relationship. 
I'm in a good relationship. 

240
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Yeah, yeah, you should say it as
a an example, a good example 

241
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920
like what does it look like? 
What does it look like? 

242
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,480
Yeah, I think that we started 
out very good because they think

243
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,280
we're evenly matched and like 
our morals. 

244
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,280
And I think that. 
That's a good start. 

245
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,560
Start with more, I'll start your
data. 

246
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520
We didn't start there, but I'm 
like, I don't know, on a first 

247
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,720
date, if you can tell like the 
person is like rude to the 

248
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880
waiter or something like that. 
I'm like, run. 

249
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
You know, So I feel like that. 

250
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:18,400
It's not that I was look, I I'm 
like, I wasn't looking, but I 

251
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,720
thought that this person was 
hot. 

252
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,880
And so, like, again, like I 
said, not when I'm in a 

253
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880
relationship, but when I was 
single, I was always looking. 

254
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,240
Like I'm always, you know, 
checking the scene. 

255
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Yeah, yeah. 
So I don't, I feel like, you 

256
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,320
know, it'll happen for you when 
you're not looking is like 

257
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600
horrible advice to give someone,
especially when they're single 

258
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,440
'cause I'm like we're we're 
looking. 

259
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,320
But yeah, where are it's not 
Yeah. 

260
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,600
I have eyes. 
It's not unavoidable. 

261
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,080
It's exactly, but no, when I, 
when I met my career partner, I 

262
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400
did not know that it was going 
to go so well. 

263
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,000
But I feel like, yes, we were 
evenly matched on like humor, 

264
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120
morals, like things that we 
found really important. 

265
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,680
And you never fight. 
We don't fight, we disagree. 

266
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,320
OK, tell me more. 
I want to know more about. 

267
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,600
I feel like you divert. 
Yeah. 

268
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,720
No, you. 
I think that disagreement is 

269
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,280
healthy. 
You're not going to agree A. 

270
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,320
100% on everything that you've 
recently disagreed on and how 

271
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,280
does you like? 
Yeah. 

272
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Solve the. 
We are very different in our, I 

273
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520
think like cleaning styles at 
home, OK, cleaning styles. 

274
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,120
So he's cleaner than me, OK. 
I am a pretty clean person, but 

275
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,440
I think that we have had like an
issue that has come up is like 

276
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,320
I'm doing the dishwasher way 
more often. 

277
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,760
Like he's he's saying this like 
I'm, I'm doing the dishwasher 

278
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,560
way more often. 
And I'm like, totally, that's 

279
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,480
fair and valid. 
But it's not like a screaming 

280
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,720
match. 
It's like, OK, you're coming to 

281
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,960
me with an issue. 
I'm going to take it in. 

282
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,360
I'm going to process it and I'm 
going to be like, OK, I'm going 

283
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,280
to be better at AB and C, 
Whereas I don't know what 

284
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,680
happens. 
I think maybe people get their 

285
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,680
ego involved. 
Oh, they get. 

286
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,960
Personal and they take it 
personally and they and they 

287
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,720
fight or this is it's hard to 
compare because it's so apples 

288
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
and oranges, but I'm like the 
fights I was getting in in my 

289
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,200
marriage were like, Hey, can you
please not cheat on me? 

290
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,280
So it's a little different. 
It's not about the dishwasher. 

291
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,400
No, it's like a little bit 
different. 

292
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,280
So yeah, but I, I think that in 
other relationships when I was 

293
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,360
younger also, like, I don't 
know, there's just there was 

294
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,920
always a cycle of, of fighting 
and I don't, I hate fighting. 

295
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
I'm so non confrontational. 
I don't like getting in fights 

296
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,560
with my friends or anyone. 
Well, is it good to not be in 

297
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,080
fights, to not be 
confrontational? 

298
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,080
Because I feel like I've been 
looking at a lot of, like, 

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,560
TikTok videos. 
Yeah, of course. 

300
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,880
That's where I get my therapy. 
Of course. 

301
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,480
Yeah. 
It's been saying that, you know,

302
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,560
if you're not confrontational, 
if you're like letting, if 

303
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,200
you're not like letting out your
emotions or, you know, bringing 

304
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,240
out what's not making you 
comfortable or. 

305
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920
Yeah. 
You know, it's, it's, it's a 

306
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,480
sign that you're like holding it
in. 

307
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,320
It's not like you are not good 
for you. 

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Yeah. 
This is where I go back to like 

309
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,160
I think you need to bring things
up but in a non confrontational 

310
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,320
way. 
Yeah, non violent negotiation, 

311
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320
yeah. 
Like the way that we talk to 

312
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,560
each other is just really kind 
and leading with like, we are a 

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,000
team. 
Here's something that is making 

314
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,960
me upset. 
And then it's like, Oh my God, I

315
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,920
would never want to make this 
person that I love upset. 

316
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Let me fix the problem. 
Yeah, You know well. 

317
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,640
I'm so happy for you. 
Thank you. 

318
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,400
No, it's it's lovely, but I 
definitely have not been in this

319
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,800
situation ever in my life. 
And so it's unusual to me. 

320
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720
And then it makes me want to, 
yeah, make APSA where I'm like, 

321
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600
stop fighting. 
You love each other, you don't 

322
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,320
need to fight. 
If you love each other. 

323
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,800
You wouldn't fight? 
Yeah, that's you can disagree, 

324
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,760
but I don't know. 
This is the other thing where 

325
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,960
I'm like, if your boyfriend's 
Republican, dump him. 

326
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:03,600
I'm like, if that man does not 
value, you know, immigrants and 

327
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,800
different races, like, like 
there's some base level things 

328
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,080
where I'm like, then he's not 
going to respect you. 

329
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,560
You know, if he doesn't respect 
a woman's body, like there's so 

330
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,440
many things that I'm like, red 
flag. 

331
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,320
Exactly. 
And like, you know, during the 

332
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,240
last election, people were like,
oh, you know, like my 

333
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520
boyfriend's voting for Trump. 
I'm like, poison him. 

334
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Why are? 
You why are you still late with 

335
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,960
him? 
Like, yeah. 

336
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,840
I'm like, no way, which is 
bringing me back to the thing 

337
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,280
where I'm like, I feel like my 
partner and I are very morally 

338
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,560
aligned. 
I see. 

339
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,080
And that's why we don't get in a
lot of the arguments that I feel

340
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,120
like I maybe got in with other 
partners. 

341
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,480
Are you switching me like like 
internally? 

342
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,280
The core concepts of like being 
a human are aligned. 

343
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Yeah. 
So, like, we're not going to 

344
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,520
disagree on, you know, something
we see on the news because we 

345
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,040
feel very similarly about it, 
OK? 

346
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,880
I feel, I feel, I feel that. 
I feel like I had boyfriends 

347
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,280
where I, like, would have 
disagreements about like, yeah, 

348
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,960
sometimes I feel like, oh, my 
God, are you a little 

349
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,360
Republican? 
Yeah. 

350
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,400
It's scary. 
Yeah, that's kind of funny, but.

351
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,599
Yeah, and I think a lot of men 
start out that way. 

352
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,480
And I'm not saying it's not 
their fault, but it's like, 

353
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,200
because they've been raised in 
this like patriarchal society, 

354
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,000
that they're raised to think 
that they are right, that they 

355
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,880
know better, that they deserve 
to make more money than women. 

356
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,920
That was actually. 
That was literally one of the 

357
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,400
arguments I had. 
Yeah. 

358
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,120
Like, like the gender pay gap? 
Like how can you deny that 

359
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:37,000
there's a gender pay gap? 
Oh my God. 

360
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,880
Let me just put it out there 
like I that's such a red flag. 

361
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:42,920
Huge red flag. 
Also I'm just like was he saying

362
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,080
he was denying that it existed? 
Yes. 

363
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,680
OK, so that's just like if you 
want to borrow a a term. 

364
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,680
Facts don't care about your 
feelings, honey. 

365
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,840
And it is a fact that women are 
paid less and women of color are

366
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,480
paid even less than that. 
Yeah, he's like, oh, it's 

367
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,640
because like women don't do like
high paying jobs. 

368
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,560
Or I've also gotten like people 
sending me like a meme. 

369
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,520
They think that they're so 
they're so funny. 

370
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,080
They're like, oh if, if it's 
cheaper to hire a woman doctor, 

371
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,360
why wouldn't they all hire women
doctors? 

372
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,480
I was like, Oh my God, flames on
the side of my face. 

373
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,880
I'm like, that is enraging me. 
And it reminds me of a 

374
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,680
conversation that I had with my 
ex where I was like, it is so 

375
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,840
ridiculous. 
Like how few women directors are

376
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,400
nominated for Oscars and all 
this stuff. 

377
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,880
And he was like, well, maybe 
they're not making as many 

378
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,160
movies. 
And I'm just like, yeah, because

379
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,960
people aren't hiring as many 
women directors. 

380
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Like it's it's all from stemming
from the same issue where it's 

381
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,400
like we are not given giving 
women these opportunities or 

382
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,200
they are, you know, supposed to 
be the primary caregiver. 

383
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,440
And so, yeah, maybe they don't 
go out and get that medical 

384
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,360
degree because we're assuming 
that they were going to stay 

385
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,000
home and with the kids. 
Exactly. 

386
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,960
So putting in so much emotional 
and unpaid work and they're 

387
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,160
that's not recognized and when 
they are doing the paid work, 

388
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,200
they're not recognized either 
because there's not that much 

389
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,480
women presentation in the male 
dominated fields. 

390
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,360
Yeah, you're not trusting women 
to be ACEO or whatever it is, 

391
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,320
like these high paying jobs or 
whatever that he's talking 

392
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,200
about. 
It's like, yeah, man, that is 

393
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,080
what's happening because they're
not giving them those jobs. 

394
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,800
That makes me so mad, but so 
baseline. 

395
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,760
If these men are willing to 
make, like, misogynistic jokes 

396
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,920
in the privacy of their home 
with their guy friends and stuff

397
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
like that. 
That's what I mean, too, with, 

398
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,560
like, moral alignment. 
Yeah. 

399
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,280
Yeah. 
You know, I'm like, if you're 

400
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,280
going to make a joke about me 
making a sandwich in the 

401
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,480
kitchen, like, you're probably 
not going to be a good partner 

402
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,360
long term. 
Oh, yeah. 

403
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Yeah. 
You know. 

404
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,880
Although I feel like that's like
a lot of male comedians make 

405
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,360
that joke. 
And hear me when I say this, you

406
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,360
are hacked, you're hacking your 
bad. 

407
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,120
But totally. 
It's like if you're punching 

408
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,600
down at women who historically 
have, you know, been 

409
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,120
undervalued, undermined, not 
able to get the same 

410
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:06,680
opportunities as men, men who 
make like, I hate my wife jokes.

411
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,360
I'm like, is it what year is it?
I know like don't, don't have a 

412
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:16,320
wife, don't already have someone
said it better than I did and 

413
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,160
I'm sure it's been talked about 
at length, but that I'm like 

414
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,960
these men. 
Are they even? 

415
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Do they even want women? 
Like, are they even attracted to

416
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,720
women? 
Like they think so little of us 

417
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,880
and yet they want to date and 
marry us. 

418
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,600
Yeah, but. 
I yeah, maybe dating and 

419
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,720
marrying us means that we're 
like belittled by them. 

420
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,480
So and then like they want 
control over women and they 

421
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,040
don't like they're not 
attracted. 

422
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,960
They just want power. 
Yeah, it's so upsetting. 

423
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,560
So then my other piece of advice
would be be queer. 

424
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,960
I'm getting I am in a 
relationship with a trans man. 

425
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,880
I'm a queer woman, and I think 
that trans men are men. 

426
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,000
They're just men with empathy 
and. 

427
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,480
You're a whistleblower. 
It's a little, yeah, it's a 

428
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,040
little bit better. 
OK, I, well, give me, I want to 

429
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,160
get myself a trans man. 
I, you know, they're, they're a 

430
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,160
minority. 
There's not that many of them. 

431
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,120
So I I I can't find one. 
You can find there's. 

432
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,960
Yeah. 
And if if you are queer and you 

433
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,640
are, I mean, here's the thing. 
I'm a queer woman. 

434
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760
So even when I was in a hetero 
relationship, it was still a 

435
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,240
queer relationship because I was
in it. 

436
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,840
But I do, I know that there are 
bad people in every community, 

437
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840
but I do feel like my 
experiences with the queer 

438
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,240
community have been way better. 
Yeah, exactly. 

439
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,760
I think that we just have a 
baseline better sense of 

440
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,000
empathy. 
Yeah, yeah. 

441
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,920
I feel like even interactions 
with straight men, the straight 

442
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,200
men who have like a connection 
to the queer community are much 

443
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,720
better. 
Yes, straight men. 

444
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Oh my gosh, yes. 
Like if you find a man who is 

445
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,720
like, best friends with 
lesbians, green flag, that is a 

446
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,440
good guy, you know, like, 
there's they're out there. 

447
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,680
You just have to do a little bit
of searching to find them, you 

448
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,480
know, Come, come, do a queer 
event. 

449
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,600
And yeah, yeah, I feel like 
those men exist. 

450
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600
I feel like they do around. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

451
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,400
Like at the at like shows or 
like queer parties, they're 

452
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,360
around. 
Yeah, if you go to those parties

453
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:21,720
and you find a straight guy or 
bye guy or whatever who finds 

454
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,400
himself in the company of other 
queer people, he's usually a 

455
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,200
little, a little better groomed 
than these straight men, you 

456
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,680
know? 
Yeah, don't like, I feel like 

457
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,360
they usually exist in Brooklyn 
instead of like, you know, like 

458
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:34,760
downtown. 
Yeah, yeah. 

459
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,600
You got it. 
You got to get it. 

460
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,040
I train. 
OK, I, I try to go to to see 

461
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,400
Super Bowl, I try to, you know, 
fit in the American culture and 

462
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,760
Oh my God, there's so many 
straight. 

463
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,040
I mean, I should, that's what I 
expect, but. 

464
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:53,440
Of course, that's the thing. 
And you know something that I 

465
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,680
learned they. 
Left the bar, Yeah, during 

466
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,120
halftime show. 
Wait, they didn't watch Benito? 

467
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,480
No. 
What is the point? 

468
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,480
I know that's that's everything 
that's. 

469
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,720
Crazy, where did they go? 
I don't know, I hope not to 

470
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,360
their wife and kids because they
don't deserve one. 

471
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,800
That's crazy. 
Yeah. 

472
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,480
I mean, that's the thing, 
Straight culture is. 

473
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,000
So maybe it's the one last 
monoculture we have is straight 

474
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,560
culture is like, no, but what I 
learned getting into a queer 

475
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,080
relationship is that I 'cause 
I'm just self self appointed. 

476
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,640
I'm not. 
I am not a sports girl and I've 

477
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,760
always been that way. 
Was never good at doing sports 

478
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,000
or watching them, and that's OK,
that's on me. 

479
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,480
But when I got into a queer 
relationship, I was like, my 

480
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,040
God, I'm still gonna be 
subjected to watching sports. 

481
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,200
I did not realize. 
Really. 

482
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,840
Yeah, because we're watching a 
lot of women's sports. 

483
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,000
Yes, yes, yes. 
Women's sports. 

484
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Hell yeah. 
Hell yeah. 

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,120
And you know what? 
I'm there for the girls, but I 

486
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,800
couldn't tell you what is 
happening on that field or that 

487
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,160
court. 
Yeah, I remember I was like 

488
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,160
asking ChatGPT about the, you 
know, the rules about, like, 

489
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Super Bowl, like on the night, 
like that night. 

490
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,440
It's something that I'm just 
never going to figure out. 

491
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,720
You know, I wasn't good at math.
I'm not going to be good at 

492
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840
sports. 
We all have our flaws and. 

493
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,080
Yeah, well, what did you study? 
I studied radio and television. 

494
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,400
Oh my. 
God, and you're thriving. 

495
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,240
Oh my God, thank you. 
Well, I mean, that was my major 

496
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,920
and I worked in TV for many 
years and now I work in digital 

497
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,000
media. 
And wow, OK, how did you meet 

498
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,920
your current partner? 
Through comedy. 

499
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,520
So. 
Yeah, Really. 

500
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,880
Yeah. 
So they're also a comedian. 

501
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,120
And so we actually met at a 
friend's show. 

502
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,680
OK. 
That's great. 

503
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,040
That's why you're so aligned. 
You're doing like. 

504
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,880
I know, yeah, it feels good. 
It's again, it's nice to be on 

505
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,240
the same page about a lot of 
things. 

506
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,640
Yeah, and you would understand 
each other because you're both 

507
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,480
in the same struggle. 
Exactly. 

508
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,160
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

509
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,960
So we met at a show and I, you 
know, Oh my. 

510
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,680
God, do I know them? 
I think maybe I don't know, I 

511
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,320
don't know, but I can show you 
after OK and you can yeah. 

512
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:20,440
But very, very cute. 
I, I had also like seen this 

513
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,640
person online before we ever met
in person and I was like, oh, 

514
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,600
they're really hot. 
You're a fan. 

515
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,560
Yeah, definitely. 
And then when we met up in 

516
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,800
person, I was like, Oh my God, I
was so nervous. 

517
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,600
And then it was just this weird 
thing. 

518
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,840
It was like fate. 
We just kept running into each 

519
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,240
other that week at different 
shows. 

520
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,040
OK, so it's like Universe put 
you together. 

521
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,960
The universe put us together and
then we were all at a bar. 

522
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,280
It was like a Wednesday night or
something. 

523
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,480
It was during pride. 
So which was so like we, we were

524
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,200
at some like gay event and I was
like, you should take my number.

525
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,520
And he did. 
And then we've been together 

526
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280
ever since. 
Like we just, we went on a date 

527
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,800
and wow. 
That's quick. 

528
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,920
Yeah, it was like that is the 
thing we. 

529
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,640
Yeah. 
We did U-Haul pretty quickly. 

530
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,480
It's like that is a stereotype 
and it did happen to us, so 

531
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,360
that's another. 
Cliche, that's true. 

532
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,240
OK, well, I mean, that's not a 
bad thing. 

533
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Is that a bad? 
Thing no. 

534
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:22,760
It's. 
Just. 

535
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,080
Neutral. 
It's not, Yeah. 

536
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,560
And I sometimes I think it's a 
good thing. 

537
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,440
Like I feel like there's so many
people who are not. 

538
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,480
Why are you not rushing into a 
relationship? 

539
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
How old are you and what the 
world is ending? 

540
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,040
The world, literally the world 
is crashing down around us like 

541
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,040
be in love and move in together 
and it's. 

542
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,280
Expensive to live on your own. 
Come on, living in. 

543
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,720
Why do you live in New York City
or any other major city like, 

544
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,760
you know, San Francisco or LA or
whatever? 

545
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,240
I'm like, you got to live. 
Together. 

546
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,160
Yeah, No, Why not? 
Yeah. 

547
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,040
In love, like, yeah. 
Especially people that I'm 

548
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:56,840
talking to. 
What? 

549
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,240
Yeah, no, hey, we're both 
comedians. 

550
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,120
Like it was. 
We had to, right? 

551
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,320
I've been looking at your nails,
they're so cute. 

552
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,640
Oh my God, thank you. 
I'm going tomorrow for my 

553
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,160
Valentine's Day set. 
What are you going to do for 

554
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,400
Valentine's? 
Day, I don't know, you know what

555
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,280
I was I was thinking Margot 
Robbie has been doing this 

556
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,400
incredible press for that 
Wuthering Heights movie and 

557
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,600
she's a sick outfit every time. 
But I really loved the one that 

558
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,440
was like red and black that was 
like faded readable. 

559
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
I don't know. 
I was like, I'm going to show my

560
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,880
girls great. 
Like, you know what, we're 

561
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,360
friends and I can show her 
something and she'll like whip 

562
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:33,440
something up. 
Oh my God. 

563
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,880
Anyways, yeah, I. 
Was in a sexy sexy situation. 

564
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,240
With a girl and. 
I didn't have, I had short nails

565
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,360
on. 
Yeah, so I I could. 

566
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,560
She had very long nails on, so I
could. 

567
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,680
I couldn't get anything. 
Oh my gosh, yeah. 

568
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,160
Well, here's OK, I know that 
people have a lot of opinions on

569
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,800
this and are like, you know, you
should, because I've I've 

570
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,600
thought about getting like the 
gay hand, which is you just take

571
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,360
down these two or whatever two 
you use, you make these short. 

572
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:12,120
But then I was like, then I'm 
walking around and it's kind of 

573
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:16,760
like, yeah, I'm fucking. 
I don't know, I felt weird about

574
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,680
it, but I don't know. 
I have never had any complaints.

575
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,000
And again, these are what I'm 
like overdue. 

576
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,360
These are like 6 weeks, OK, you 
know, long. 

577
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,280
I usually go down and and make 
them shorter. 

578
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,240
But this is not bad this. 
It's not that bad. 

579
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,680
And I think that if you're not 
like scratching someone like 

580
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,480
you're fine. 
But I'm so sorry that you you 

581
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
couldn't get any, right? 
I couldn't get any action. 

582
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,560
Yeah, I know. 
That's hard. 

583
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,600
I know. 
Yeah, I still I cry about it. 

584
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,720
They cry about it. 
So do you. 

585
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640
Are you? 
Do I identify as queer? 

586
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,760
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. 
I love it. 

587
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Well, so then you get it. 
Like I think dealing with the 

588
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,640
queer community is a lot easier.
Right. 

589
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely 
feel that. 

590
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,720
Although I feel like sometimes 
when I because I don't live in 

591
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,520
Brooklyn and I feel like I don't
know where to go. 

592
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,600
Where do you need people? 
I'll tell you. 

593
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,960
Yeah, No, Tell us, tell us, tell
us. 

594
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Tell me now. 
I'm like what are some like you 

595
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,480
should. 
I mean places. 

596
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:27,000
You can go to there's Pat, which
is like a queer night at Union 

597
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,960
Pool. 
It's like, is it Thursdays and 

598
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,600
then Wednesdays at the Woods is 
also a queer night in Brooklyn. 

599
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,720
There's there's plenty of of 
places and Henrietta's on on 

600
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,440
Hudson is another like lesbian 
bar. 

601
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,880
I'm trying to think the Bush. 
I'm like. 

602
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,880
The Bush, it's literally called.
The Bush, it's literally called 

603
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,720
the Bush, honey. 
Like, you can go there and you 

604
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,400
will. 
You'll clean up, you know? 

605
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,960
Oh yeah, like. 
My thing, Yeah. 

606
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,680
I don't have Bush anymore 
because I lasered you. 

607
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,240
Lasered. 
Oh my. 

608
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,200
God, I know I lost my wings. 
You. 

609
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,000
Oster Wings. 
What's so funny is like when I 

610
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,080
got out of my straight marriage,
I grew the Bush out. 

611
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Yeah. 
I was like, it's time. 

612
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,280
You should. 
Yeah, here's the thing. 

613
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,160
I'm like pussy's pussy. 
No it Bush or no Bush. 

614
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,200
But it's so funny that you 
lasered and like you can't. 

615
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,240
It hasn't grown back. 
Well, it's grown back, very. 

616
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,440
It doesn't go back to where it 
used to be, like it should not 

617
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,360
be restored. 
I don't know, maybe like I 

618
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,400
thought. 
To her former glory. 

619
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,560
Yeah. 
That's so crazy. 

620
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,560
Yeah. 
Wait, so can I ask you a 

621
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,840
question? 
You came here and. 

622
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,520
And what like what are the 
differences between dating here 

623
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,200
first back home? 
Oh. 

624
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,680
Wait, like when or maybe when 
did you get here? 

625
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Because like, were you old 
enough to date? 

626
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

627
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,360
That's a good question. 
I don't know. 

628
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,920
I feel like you're, I feel like 
OK, people don't say I love you 

629
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,840
as much. 
OK here. 

630
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,320
Here, yes. 
Wow. 

631
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,440
I feel like people here attach a
big value to I love you. 

632
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Yeah, it's a big step here. 
Yeah, it is, but it's not back 

633
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,520
home, I think. 
OK, yeah, cuz I feel like yeah, 

634
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,960
people are like they have rules 
about it. 

635
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,480
You have to wait like a certain 
amount of time. 

636
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,960
You have to wait three months to
say I love you or like 3 months 

637
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
is you can have the conversation
about dating. 

638
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:38,880
Oh, there's a top. 
Line. 

639
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,600
I don't know. 
These are arbitrary. 

640
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,680
Yeah, that's why I got domed. 
No, no, I'm kidding. 

641
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,600
No, but I no, people put these 
arbitrary timelines on things, 

642
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,640
and I don't agree with that 
either. 

643
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,040
I think it's like when you know,
you know, another cliche. 

644
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
This episode's all about 
cliches, but they're true. 

645
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,360
Yes, yeah, they're true. 
But I'm like, you can say 

646
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,000
whenever I know people are like,
oh, when do you have the talk 

647
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,640
about like, what are we? 
Yeah, yeah. 

648
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680
Is that like a month in or is 
that three months in? 

649
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,640
And then when is I love you, I 
love you is like I'm like you 

650
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,160
should say it when you feel it, 
right? 

651
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,760
So I never want to be the first 
I. 

652
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Feel like I never got that 
feeling when I was like, back 

653
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,120
home. 
Yeah, yeah. 

654
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,280
You just say it whenever you 
feel like it, yeah. 

655
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,520
Or nobody's like weird about it.
Like like whoever said it first.

656
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,480
Like doesn't care who said it 
first. 

657
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,840
Wait, this is fascinating. 
Really. 

658
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,640
Yes, but. 
I mean, I guess. 

659
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,520
I love learning about like what 
dating or like relationship 

660
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,160
stigmas exist in other 
countries. 

661
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,080
Like I think it's it's or other 
cultures. 

662
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,240
Like it's so fascinating. 
But I feel like, OK, my college 

663
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,880
roommate was Italian, OK, And 
she was like, I don't know. 

664
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,160
I feel like she like it's even 
more like words of affection. 

665
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Oh yeah. 
Like she was, she was calling. 

666
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,480
I'm on it. 
And yeah, no, I saw you're like 

667
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,920
Italian. 
Yeah, I know. 

668
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,640
I'm, I'm crazy. 
Italian brings me back. 

669
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,440
To like college days. 
Yeah. 

670
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,800
Talking to my roommate. 
So she wasn't just like Italian 

671
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,360
American, she was like. 
Italian. 

672
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,520
Yeah, Italian like. 
OK, from Rome. 

673
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,920
From Rome. 
Yeah. 

674
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,920
So that's the thing in America. 
Like I learned this cuz I was in

675
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,280
like the UK over the summer and 
they're like, yeah, you guys 

676
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,960
will say like you're Italian, 
but you're not like from Italy. 

677
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,680
And I'm like, I know, but 
because I'm like Italian 

678
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,160
American. 
So I wasn't born there or 

679
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,760
anything. 
Like I have no, you know, it was

680
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,880
my grandparents that were born 
there. 

681
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,720
But yes, Italians I think in 
general with like our family and

682
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,400
our loved ones are very overly 
words, words about probation, 

683
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,360
like affection. 
I was scrunched a lot as a kid. 

684
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,680
Like, you know, it's very, very 
affectionate households for 

685
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,800
sure. 
But I feel like but the society 

686
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,560
is not as affectionate like. 
I can't speak on like actual 

687
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Italy, like what goes on there 
because like, yeah, but but I 

688
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,800
will say I think that yeah, I 
don't know. 

689
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,320
I don't. 
Know, I feel like I kind of 

690
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,719
like, I don't know, I kind of 
like how people are putting like

691
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,159
weight to I love you because 
then they served like a hallmark

692
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:20,840
like yeah, you know, like a you 
when you've reached this, that 

693
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,400
it means that it's it's like 
explicitly means that it's 

694
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,040
something serious. 
It's a big step, yes. 

695
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,400
Yeah, it's like this is. 
But this is huge. 

696
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,000
You like, if I'm saying it all 
the time to everybody, then I 

697
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,120
don't know who like I'm being 
serious with, I guess. 

698
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:39,840
Yeah. 
Or like it's not verbal. 

699
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,199
And I'm a big like outside of my
relationships because I did, you

700
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:45,400
know, I was like scared to say 
it first. 

701
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,960
And thankfully my partner said 
it first and so I didn't have to

702
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,639
worry. 
I think it was like, I don't 

703
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,560
know if it was two or three 
months in or something like 

704
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:58,920
that. 
But with my friends, I am overly

705
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,920
effusive about love. 
OK. 

706
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,560
I love that like I'm, I'm, I 
don't know, I'll meet someone 

707
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,400
and we've we're newer friends or
something and I'm like, love you

708
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,080
like I love, I love saying that.
No, I, I feel that. 

709
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,520
I love that. 
I love it when people say to me.

710
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,160
Yeah, I love making people feel 
loved. 

711
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:16,680
I love you. 
Oh. 

712
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,320
Yeah, I love you. 
Oh, this is the sole reason why 

713
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,760
I'm having you on the podcast. 
It's because I need to hear I 

714
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
love you from another human 
being. 

715
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,160
It's. 
Nice, we need to hear it. 

716
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,160
Wait, so what's going on with 
you? 

717
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,960
What is your love life? 
Current status. 

718
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,720
It's it's wait, I can tell you. 
You can't. 

719
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,000
I'll tell you off the. 
Pod. 

720
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,480
Oh, OK, OK, OK, OK after the pod
yeah, yeah, yeah. 

721
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,760
You don't get to know. 
No, you don't get. 

722
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680
To know, but I can tell you 
about my past relationships. 

723
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,800
Yes, OK. 
Tell me. 

724
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,120
Wait, what do you want to? 
Know what is the worst? 

725
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,360
Because I think that my marriage
that ended in a divorce was 

726
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,240
arguably my worst relationship. 
So what is the worst 

727
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,240
relationship? 
You've ever had worst 

728
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,560
relationship? 
Oh my God, can I even call them?

729
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,360
Relationships. 
I feel like situationships, 

730
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:08,000
whatever. 
This is so I've never actually 

731
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,480
publicly talked. 
About this but this is the time 

732
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,840
girl. 
Yeah, I was dating someone who 

733
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,800
had a girlfriend back home. 
Like he's American and he had a 

734
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,840
girlfriend in America and he was
in China. 

735
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:26,760
Oh my God, yeah. 
Well, I wasn't dating. 

736
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,520
I was seeing him. 
I mean, we're not, but. 

737
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,600
Still. 
I know. 

738
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,120
What apos? 
Yeah. 

739
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:38,240
I know and then like he broke up
with his whole like girlfriend 

740
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:41,200
back home. 
Yeah and COVID happened so I 

741
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,160
never got to see him or like be 
boyfriend and girlfriend with 

742
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,640
him. 
Oh my God, yeah. 

743
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,400
It's so sad. 
Did how did you find out that he

744
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,880
had a girlfriend? 
It's very obvious. 

745
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,000
It's kind of my fault. 
No, it's it's not. 

746
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,120
Hey, we never, we never blame 
ourselves or the other woman. 

747
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,120
If it's a man's fault, it is. 
A man's fault, Yeah, He wasn't. 

748
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,480
He was making it look like 
they're going to break up or 

749
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,160
they're not in a good 
relationship, that he or he 

750
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,680
shouldn't be seeing me again but
kept seeing me so. 

751
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600
That's on him. 
He wasn't being truthful. 

752
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,400
He was omitting stuff. 
Yeah. 

753
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,440
I mean, we've seen this a 
million times. 

754
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,000
A guy will be like, or. 
I mean, it happens both ways, I 

755
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,840
know. 
But statistically, men cheat 

756
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,880
more. 
I'm just going to say it. 

757
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,600
Facts or facts. 
But, you know, someone will be 

758
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,520
like, oh, yeah, like I'm 
married, but like, I'm we're 

759
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,640
getting a divorce or something. 
But they're not actually. 

760
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,480
Oh my God. 
Yeah. 

761
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,000
And they, like, lead you on. 
Yeah. 

762
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,680
Yeah, wait, I think I've just 
talked. 

763
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:35,840
I was just talking about this 
with my other friend. 

764
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,400
She was like, oh, maybe like 
maybe he will divorce a wife, 

765
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,240
but but then you wouldn't want 
to be the person that's like the

766
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,120
second choice. 
Like you wouldn't want to be 

767
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,520
like. 
It's hard unless like, they're 

768
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,800
truly it's mutual and getting 
divorced and it's happening and 

769
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,120
then, you know, he dates you or 
they date you right after it. 

770
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,200
Like, whatever. 
I mean, that is my current 

771
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,200
partner's situation technically,
but there was no overlap. 

772
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:06,800
OK. 
OK. 

773
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,280
It was, you know, many months 
afterwards. 

774
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,240
Yeah. 
But yeah, like, you don't always

775
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:17,320
have to feel like second fiddle,
especially if that is really 

776
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480
what's going on. 
But if they're lying, yeah. 

777
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,040
Thank you for saying that, it's 
very appealing to me. 

778
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,240
Wow. 
It's not your fault and like we 

779
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,760
can only believe what people 
tell us. 

780
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,080
I take a lot of people at face 
value and that's why I've gotten

781
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,520
hurt a lot. 
And it's very hard to not 

782
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,720
believe people right what they 
say. 

783
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,480
Yeah, it's the default. 
Like believing was the default 

784
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,120
and we're being punished for 
people being like normal. 

785
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,520
Yeah, you're like this guy is in
China, He's not in America. 

786
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,080
He's saying that they're 
breaking up. 

787
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,240
I mean, you're not whatever. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

788
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,760
It's, yeah. 
It's fine. 

789
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,200
It's over. 
And I feel like I've learned the

790
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,640
lesson. 
I feel like that, definitely. 

791
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,960
Teach me a lesson. 
Now when I yeah, definitely, I 

792
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,040
wouldn't fall for that again. 
It's hard though, and it's hard 

793
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,600
when you're really attracted to 
someone and you're really 

794
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,120
excited about something and you 
know you want to, you want to 

795
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,240
believe it's OK. 
Yeah, well, let's, well, I, I 

796
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,760
feel like we have like 5 minutes
left. 

797
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,560
OK, let's end on a happy note. 
Oh, yes, I'm sorry. 

798
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,160
I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. 
Is that too serious? 

799
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,160
No, I love it. 
OK, I love it. 

800
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:29,760
Yeah, it's, it's sometimes this 
podcast gets very serious. 

801
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,840
Well, I mean, yeah, it's about 
like relationships and love and 

802
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,920
hooking up and. 
It's it's complicated. 

803
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,400
Yeah. 
Humans are messy. 

804
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:41,360
Very. 
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a 

805
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,600
happy note. 
Let's What's your most recent? 

806
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,760
What's something that made you? 
Laugh last time. 

807
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:51,920
Oh my gosh. 
Well, I was just in an open mic 

808
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:58,760
and a comedian made me laugh. 
But I I'm like, that's the most 

809
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,040
like recent recent that I can 
think of. 

810
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Something that makes you smile, 
I guess, Not laugh. 

811
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:10,640
Smile, I think that my I love 
and cherish my girlfriend so 

812
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,600
much and they always make me 
smile and laugh. 

813
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,120
And we have a really fun love 
language where we say kind of 

814
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,680
mean things to each other 
because we know we don't mean 

815
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,480
it. 
OK. 

816
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:26,440
And so like, you know, one of 
them will be like you ugly 

817
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,720
bitch. 
I know sometimes. 

818
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,360
I need that, yes. 
Sometimes I need to have to 

819
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,640
brown myself. 
Yeah, or they'll be like, you're

820
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,200
so dumb and I'm like, I know, 
but they really mean the 

821
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,880
opposite. 
They. 

822
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,720
They will be the one that's 
calling you out when you're 

823
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,240
dating a dumb guy. 
Yes, that's the other thing. 

824
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,840
I mean, it's not on, it's not on
the friends, right, because they

825
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,480
can't make a decision for you, 
right. 

826
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:56,360
But you know, I do you think 
that I now I'm really surrounded

827
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,880
by a lot of people who I trust 
that would Get Me Out of a bad 

828
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,960
situation. 
Yeah, I think the support system

829
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,880
is good. 
Like, yeah, like when I'm 

830
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,440
complaining to my friends about 
my situation, ship and stuff. 

831
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,680
Yeah, I will tell them that. 
Well, if this ends badly, I know

832
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,120
you're gonna be there. 
I'm gonna cry, but I will be 

833
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,240
okay because you're gonna be 
there. 

834
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,280
It's so true. 
They're the ones that will be 

835
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,080
taking care of us. 
I really hope that one day we 

836
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,240
all get a house and we all live 
together with like 1,000,000 

837
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:28,960
cats. 
Like that's why, yeah, that's 

838
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:29,960
what. 
That's my dream. 

839
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,240
Yeah, yeah. 
Me and my girlfriends, like when

840
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,800
no one else got me, they've got 
me. 

841
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,600
Yeah, I was just reading. 
I was just looking at Sex and 

842
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,520
the City clip. 
Yeah. 

843
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,280
And Charlotte was like, well, 
maybe we could be to the girls, 

844
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,920
maybe we could be soul mates. 
We don't need men to be our soul

845
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,160
mates. 
We can be soul mates. 

846
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,360
We can take care of each other 
and men are just something to 

847
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,800
have fun with. 
Yes, I kind of really believe 

848
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,720
that. 
I mean, listen, I'm in such a 

849
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:58,800
healthy like wonderful 
relationship, but God forbid 

850
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,760
anything happened. 
Like yes my girls are my soul 

851
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,160
mates for for real. 
That's why the podcast for like 

852
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,720
girls, I feel like guys, no 
straight guys will be on my bed.

853
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,120
It's for the girls and the gays 
and that's it. 

854
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:20,480
Wait, OK, I have a fun ending. 
I think you should teach me how 

855
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,000
to say I love you in Mandarin. 
OK, it's. 

856
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,720
Actually very simple. 
I think it's simple. 

857
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
It's what I need. 

858
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,960
What I need Yes. 
Oh, is it good? 

859
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,280
OK Wow. 
Well, I mean, because we talked 

860
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,760
about saying I love you and. 
How? 

861
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,880
Fun and nice it is, yeah. 
Or if you want to say it like 

862
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,520
you, you don't have to say what 
it's like. 

863
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:41,280
If you want to say love you, 
it's I mean. 

864
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,120
I mean, oh, I mean that's. 
So fun you how do you do you say

865
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,600
other languages? 
I speak a little bit of Italian.

866
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,080
How do you say Italian? 
I love you. 

867
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,240
It's diamo. 
Diamo. 

868
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,680
Yeah, it's easy. 
Do you say Italian to your? 

869
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,280
Do you speak Italian to your 
family? 

870
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:05,960
So yes, I have some family that 
is still in Italy and I have 

871
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,440
this one cousin who will come 
here and she's around my age and

872
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,880
I love her so much and she 
speaks like she speaks way 

873
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,040
better English. 
OK, then I speak Italian, but 

874
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,840
we'll speak like broken Italian 
English to each other. 

875
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,120
Oh, OK. 
And it's really fun, but it's 

876
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,000
like it's so true if you use it.
If you don't use it, you lose 

877
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,600
it. 
And I took it for like 7 years 

878
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,400
in school and then I was not 
practicing and so I lost it. 

879
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,880
Oh no, I know it's so sad, but I
can still say some things. 

880
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,800
OK, let me like I love you. 
I love you too. 

881
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,880
T MO Yeah. 
MO why me? 

882
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,440
Why me? 
But OK, I have one last question

883
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,040
before. 
Yes, it's very unrelated, but I 

884
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,120
want to ask you, can you like 
answer this on behalf of the 

885
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,000
Italians? 
Maybe not, but I'm going to just

886
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,840
ask you because I saw House of 
Gucci. 

887
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,960
Yes. 
Why is everyone speaking English

888
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,040
with an Italian accent instead 
of speaking Italian? 

889
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,720
Now, I don't know what those 
people, the producers and 

890
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:06,040
everything of House of Gucci 
were thinking, but I think that 

891
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,000
maybe it was because they're 
making an American film. 

892
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,120
And so they're like, I guess we 
have to make them speak 

893
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,160
American. 
But Italian is such a beautiful 

894
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,520
language and it should have been
spoken in Italian. 

895
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,200
Yeah, but no, me this Piache. 
I'm sorry. 

896
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,640
It's. 
OK, how do you say it's OK in 

897
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,240
Italian? 
Honestly, it's, it's really 

898
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,760
funny, OK, but like you didn't 
know no, a lot, a lot of the 

899
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,080
things like I, there's an 
amazing comedian, Mateo Lane, 

900
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,400
who has a joke about this. 
But when you say like gay and 

901
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,960
Italian, it's just gay. 
Like it's just in it. 

902
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:44,080
And so they, they will say like 
it's OK, like it's OK, you know,

903
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:50,440
or, or it's good, like it's OK 
but but you know, they still 

904
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,240
they will say like OK. 
So wait, so gay and Italian 

905
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,080
it's. 
Just gay, gay with Italian he 

906
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,280
please. 
It is not my joke. 

907
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,480
It is Mateo Lane's and he is so,
so funny and it is such a good 

908
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,240
joke. 
But yeah, he's like gay and 

909
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:08,760
Italian is just gay. 
Just like with like in an 

910
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,480
Italian voice, basically. 
I guess. 

911
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,920
Go look for the joke. 
It's so funny. 

912
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,720
Yeah, I'm trying. 
To think maybe, yeah, I don't. 

913
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,800
There's no no, no such thing for
that in Chinese. 

914
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,720
Really, they they don't have a 
word for gay. 

915
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,400
Well, yes, no, they well, they 
do. 

916
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,000
But people say gay, right? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

917
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,880
But they just say gay. 
That's. 

918
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,680
Like in English. 
That's wild.
