1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,800
Are you alone? 
Come tonight. 

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Do you miss me tonight? 
Are you sorry we rested apart? 

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,240
Does your man all right? 
Hello everybody. 

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,560
Welcome to significant lovers. 
Welcome back. 

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,040
This is a true love podcast. 
Yes, the opposite of true crime.

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,160
We are investigating the love 
lives and dating history of 

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,360
people in history and pop 
culture. 

8
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,440
And we are two cousins. 
My name is Mel and I'm Kel. 

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,200
Yeah, Kel is leading today's 
episode and she's going to teach

10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,440
us all about what couple are we 
talking today, Kel? 

11
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,120
We are talking about the one and
only Lena Dunham and Jack 

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,879
Antonoff and Mel. 
I don't want to freak you out, 

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:12,520
but I think I may be the voice 
of my generation, or at least a 

14
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,240
voice of a generation. 
Yes, Lena Dunham. 

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,160
She's so controversial. 
Some people hate her. 

16
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,880
I know, so don't hate us. 
Don't hate us. 

17
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Honestly, what? 
We are sympathetic to Lena 

18
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,520
Dunham. 
I love Lena Dunham, and if 

19
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,120
anyone doesn't know who she or 
Jack are, Lena Dunham is a 

20
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,760
writer, director, and sometimes 
actor. 

21
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,800
She created the HBO show Girls, 
which was on In The 20 Tens. 

22
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Such a great show. 
It's my favorite show of all 

23
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,960
time. 
It's always some other things 

24
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,440
like the show camping and she 
had a movie called Sharp Stick 

25
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,960
like last year. 
I never saw it, but I do want to

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,360
see it. 
And then Jack Antonoff, he was 

27
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
in the band fun. 
You guys probably know that 

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,479
band. 
We are young some nights, you 

29
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,320
know. 
And then he was in and still is 

30
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,200
in the band, I guess, but it's 
kind of just him, bleachers. 

31
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,040
And he's also a famous music 
producer working with people 

32
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,960
like Taylor Swift. 
Gotta mention her every episode.

33
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Lana Del Rey, Lord, Lord, we're 
going to talk about her later. 

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Saint Vincent Claro, lots of 
people. 

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720
So they're both, I would say, 
very talented people. 

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,400
I'm so excited to learn about 
this couple. 

37
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,560
I had a lot of fun researching 
this. 

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,040
I felt like I was on I love the 
20 Tens or something. 

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240
Do you remember the show? 
I love the 80s or I love the 

40
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,360
90s. 
Yeah, just also because we're in

41
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,440
the middle of Ariana Grande and 
Pete Davidson, I just feel like,

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120
so immersed in this specific 
time. 

43
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Like 2014, 2015. 
I don't know. 

44
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,800
I was a huge, huge, huge fan of 
girls and I made so many people 

45
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000
watch it. 
Literally, because I had it on 

46
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,640
DVD, I would just put it on and 
would always tell people you can

47
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,080
watch season one in five hours, 
just do it. 

48
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,960
You can watch it in five hours, 
which is true. 

49
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,320
So I'm excited to talk about 
them. 

50
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,880
But yeah, they are, they are. 
She is quite controversial. 

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,560
People love to hate Lena Dunham.
They do, and I can understand. 

52
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,280
But I almost feel like, never 
mind. 

53
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,600
I was going to say that. 
I just feel like. 

54
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,680
Say, I don't know how I feel 
like the reason why people don't

55
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,960
like her is partially because of
like headlines of things that 

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,760
people haven't really looked 
that too far into. 

57
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,480
And she says a lot of things 
that are taken out of context or

58
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,760
like are obviously a joke. 
But then people take it very 

59
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,960
seriously and a lot of it like 
to is her artistic style with 

60
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,080
her show how she's like. 
I think I might be the voice of 

61
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,560
my generation, or a voice of a 
generation. 

62
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,480
Her character on Girls is 
supposed to be annoying and 

63
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,120
real, but people people are a 
little bit too critical of her 

64
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,240
because of her characters, I 
think. 

65
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,040
So narcissism, and I think that 
she does put a lot of herself 

66
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640
into girls, but she isn't Hannah
Horvath. 

67
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Literally. 
I mean, yeah, And and even if 

68
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,480
that is her, it comes from a 
place of self-awareness and that

69
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,680
everybody. 
Has really annoying qualities 

70
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,880
about them. 
Lena is fascinating because on 

71
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,640
the one hand she seems so self 
aware and then other times not 

72
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,440
at all. 
And I I I feel like Lena Dunham 

73
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,680
has also come to represent like 
white feminism in general, and 

74
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,240
so that's obviously why people 
are annoyed by her. 

75
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,960
But I hate to say this, but I 
think also part of the reason 

76
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,680
why people don't like her is. 
Kind of what I was talking about

77
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,160
with Lizzo a couple episodes 
back is that because she defies 

78
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,600
beauty standards to people are a
lot more willing to get annoyed 

79
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760
by her for the things that she 
says. 

80
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Taylor Swift is like a white 
feminist, but because she's 

81
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,480
beautiful and everything and 
they're good friends, people 

82
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,040
aren't going to get as annoyed 
by her. 

83
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,720
So, and to anyone who doesn't 
know, I mean, I think what you 

84
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,320
mean by white feminist is not 
just someone who's literally 

85
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,960
white and a feminist, but like 
somebody that their feminism 

86
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,280
only really applies to white 
women, right? 

87
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,240
Yes, yeah. 
Yeah, I know. 

88
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,680
I I do think that I don't 
understand why Lena became like 

89
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,320
the face of that. 
I agree that her show probably 

90
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,160
should have had more people of 
color, but I don't know why she 

91
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,360
was targeted as like, the only 
showrunner that did that. 

92
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Because there's still TV shows 
today that are pretty much all 

93
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,240
white people. 
And definitely in 2012, there 

94
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
were so many shows that were the
main characters were white 

95
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,720
people. 
So I just don't really get why 

96
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,040
she was the scapegoat for like 
all racism in TV, you know? 

97
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,560
And like that one guy was a 
young woman and a little 

98
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,320
overweight. 
And I think a lot of people were

99
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,480
jealous of her success because 
she was literally 24 when she 

100
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,160
wrote and directed that show. 
And I I do think Lena, even 

101
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,000
though I do really like her, I 
do think that she tries to 

102
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,200
please people. 
And that's where she kind of 

103
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,680
puts her foot in her mouth 
sometimes. 

104
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,840
Like she she's trying so hard to
please people and be like really

105
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,160
progressive and woke. 
And then she seems like a 

106
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,960
hypocrite when she's not, You 
know what I mean? 

107
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Yeah, exactly. 
And that's why I feel like she 

108
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,360
gets a lot of hate. 
But again, like what you were 

109
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,280
saying, with her being so young 
and a showrunner, it's just a 

110
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:54,440
shame because there's so few 
women directors, women producers

111
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,280
in Hollywood that it makes me 
sad when the. 

112
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,040
Criticism and expectations on 
them is so much more significant

113
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,320
because they're held to a 
different standard. 

114
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,080
We can't just celebrate that 
this young woman is in charge of

115
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,240
her show. 
Like, we're going to give her 

116
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,840
criticism that, like you said, 
so many other people are guilty 

117
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520
of, too. 
But like, all of it is coming 

118
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,440
down a lot harder on her. 
Yeah. 

119
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,240
And I mean, she was approached 
to make a show that was based on

120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,680
her short films she had made, 
which were like based on her own

121
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,680
life. 
So it was very like 

122
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,800
autobiographical. 
So that's what she was. 

123
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240
That's how she got the job to 
make a show, like about her 

124
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,000
experiences. 
So that's how the show turned 

125
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,800
out. 
You know what I mean? 

126
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Yeah, exactly. 
Yeah. 

127
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,320
She's writing from her own 
experience, which is obviously 

128
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,840
limited to that. 
To put simply, Lena Dunham is 

129
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,080
very controversial, but she did 
have a romance with Jack 

130
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Antonoff that I think is nice 
for a time, but very, very 

131
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,200
interesting and the ending is a 
bit mysterious so. 

132
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280
I love the song You Are In Love 
by Taylor Swift and she said she

133
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,880
wrote that inspired by Lena 
Dunham and Jack Antonoff's 

134
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,240
relationship. 
I know. 

135
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
I saw that. 
We should all just go listen to 

136
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960
that after. 
OK, Well, should I get into 

137
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,760
this? 
Yeah. 

138
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,640
OK. 3 words I would use to 
describe Jack and Lena are 

139
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:37,400
neurotic, caring, sweet and sad.
It was making me a bit sad. 

140
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,600
I think it's a fun episode, but 
it it's a bit sad too. 

141
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,960
OK, so backstories, Who are 
they? 

142
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Jack Antonoff. 
I'm going to start with him 

143
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,880
because he's older. 
He was born March 31st, 1984 to 

144
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,800
a Jewish family in Bergenfield, 
NJ, just north of New York City.

145
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,800
He grew up in New Milford and 
Woodcliff Lake, NJ, so I guess 

146
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,040
they moved around a couple 
times. 

147
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,400
He is very proud of New Jersey. 
Oh yeah, take a drink. 

148
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,400
I still need to make that 
graphic thing. 

149
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,080
He didn't move around as much as
some other people, though. 

150
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,760
He is very proud of New Jersey. 
He's written a lot about it and 

151
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,240
his music, and Bruce Springsteen
was always a huge inspiration of

152
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,480
his. 
But in high school, he actually 

153
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,400
commuted to school in Manhattan.
Jack was the middle kid, He had 

154
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,320
two sisters. 
His older sister Rachel Antonoff

155
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,920
is now a fashion designer, and 
her clothes are actually really 

156
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,760
cool. 
I went on her website and wanted

157
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,680
to buy them, but they're like 
$300.00. 

158
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,320
Oh, wow. 
They're talented family. 

159
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,560
Yeah, very talented family. 
And really tragically, his 

160
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,200
younger sister Sarah actually 
died of brain cancer when she 

161
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160
was 13 years old. 
That's awful. 

162
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760
I didn't know that. 
I didn't either, actually. 

163
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
And it was when Jack was a 
senior in high school. 

164
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,920
And. 
My gosh, yeah. 

165
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,840
I think that this is the 
defining moment in Jack's life 

166
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,160
that he always goes back to. 
And yeah, he said that 

167
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,720
everything in his career has 
been the reaction to that. 

168
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Losing her All the anything in 
his lyrics about sadness, I 

169
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,240
think is about losing Sarah and 
I feel so bad for their family. 

170
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,760
That's terrible. 
So young. 

171
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
So young. 
I I mean, I just can't imagine 

172
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,120
being in high school. 
And that happens. 

173
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,440
I know it's not supposed to. 
No. 

174
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,080
No it's not. 
I saw a video of he was giving a

175
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,400
tour of him and Lena's apartment
and he had a big picture of her,

176
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,720
like right in the center of the 
room above the mantle. 

177
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,120
I guess so. 
Yeah, they're sweet. 

178
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,520
But around I I don't know if it 
was right after this or around 

179
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,920
the same time. 
Jack was in a lot of bands in 

180
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
high school. 
He was super into music. 

181
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,720
He plays a lot of instruments, 
guitar, drums, piano, bass, 

182
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,640
mandolin. 
He's definitely very smart when 

183
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,680
it comes to music. 
I watched this video of him 

184
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,520
producing song one of Lana's 
songs and I didn't understand 

185
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,840
anything he was saying. 
So he's very knowledgeable about

186
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,880
that. 
But he was first in the band 

187
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,520
outline when he was in high 
school and they actually did all

188
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,560
right. 
They toured, they played in 

189
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:22,160
Florida and Texas and they drove
around in Jack's parents 

190
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000
minivan. 
And from 2001 to 2002, he 

191
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,960
actually dated Scarlett 
Johansson. 

192
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480
I didn't know that. 
Yes, they went to the same high 

193
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,040
school. 
What? 

194
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,520
They were high school 
sweetheart. 

195
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,480
I guess so. 
Oh my. 

196
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,920
God, isn't that crazy? 
Wow. 

197
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,720
We have to cover them, you know.
I don't know how much 

198
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,400
information there is about them,
but. 

199
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Probably not. 
That's crazy. 

200
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,240
What are the odds that they 
would both become famous? 

201
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,000
I know. 
Well, I think they went to like 

202
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360
a performing arts school. 
Yeah, you know. 

203
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,680
So pretty high, but still wow, 
this will come up later. 

204
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,920
But you know, Lena gets a lot of
criticism for her looks and 

205
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,440
being overweight when she's on 
Girls, and I just think it's 

206
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,520
crazy that he's, His ex is 
Scarlett Johansson. 

207
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080
Yeah. 
One of the most conventionally 

208
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,400
attractive. 
Yeah. 

209
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,200
Women in the whole world. 
Yes. 

210
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Regarded as the most one of the 
most traditionally beautiful. 

211
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Yeah, crazy. 
And then in 2002, him and his 

212
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,800
friends formed a new band called
Steel Train. 

213
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,760
And OK, this is random, but this
is the band that Evan Winiker 

214
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,400
was in, which is the guy that 
Lana was rumoured to be engaged 

215
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,920
to. 
But I don't know if that's even 

216
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,920
true anymore, or what the deal 
is with that, or if she even 

217
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,120
really knows him. 
But well, she definitely knows 

218
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,040
him. 
But I think he's still Jack and 

219
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Evan are still friends to this 
day, so that's nice. 

220
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Steel Train was popular in the 
jam band circuit. 

221
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,240
They had a record deal, but I 
guess things fizzled out. 

222
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,840
And then in 2008, Nate Roos and 
Andrew Dost, who were formerly 

223
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480
in another band. 
They asked Jack Antonoff to join

224
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,840
them in the band Fun and they 
already all knew each other from

225
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,440
touring and just seeing each 
other in other bands. 

226
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Tonight we are young, fun with a
period. 

227
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,280
No explanation, Mark, Right. 
No, it's a period. 

228
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520
So weird. 
I don't know if this makes me 

229
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,120
old fashioned or something, but 
I don't really like it when 

230
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,200
bands have punctuation symbols 
or yeah, punctuation or 

231
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,760
lowercase. 
I don't know. 

232
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,600
You know what? 
I feel you like pink. 

233
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,120
How pink is like pink with the 
exclamation mark instead of an 

234
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,920
eye. 
Like just Nah. 

235
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,440
Yeah, it makes it weird in 
print. 

236
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Yeah, it doesn't always work. 
I know. 

237
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,400
Anyway, Fun was very successful,
but they only had two albums, 

238
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:02,200
Aim and Ignite and then some 
nights in 2012 which had a lot 

239
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,560
of hits. 
Like we said, we are young, some

240
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:08,480
nights carry on. 
Yeah, they were huge and they 

241
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,800
could have been like on top of 
the world, but I don't really 

242
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,040
know what happened to them. 
They went on a hiatus and never 

243
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,800
came back. 
People go on a reunion tour, 

244
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,480
maybe. 
Jack is too big. 

245
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Yeah, Jack is. 
He really doesn't need fun 

246
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,400
anymore. 
No, he wasn't even that famous 

247
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,720
in fun. 
Yeah 'cause Nate was the lead 

248
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,600
singer. 
Yeah, he was the guy from Fun. 

249
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Yeah. 
And actually, when him and Lena 

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
first start dating, that's what 
the articles are like. 

251
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,560
They're like Lena Dunham dating 
the guy from fun. 

252
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,920
Yeah. 
Interestingly, Nate Ruse went on

253
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,880
to date Jack's sister Rachel, 
older sister Rachel for several 

254
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,400
years, but they broke up, so I 
don't know if that could have 

255
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,640
influenced the band to. 
Oh, maybe. 

256
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,360
Well, that's a dynamic that we 
haven't really explored before 

257
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,080
when people date their friend's 
sibling. 

258
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,880
True, I know that. 
Can make things messy. 

259
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,440
I mean, people don't really know
what happened with them, but 

260
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,280
everyone speculates that there 
was a little bad blood between 

261
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,320
Nate and Jack, so I don't know 
what happened and. 

262
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Interesting. 
This is random too, but just 

263
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,480
shows that everything is 
connected. 

264
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Now Nate is married to Charlotte
Ronson, Samantha Ronson's 

265
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,400
sister. 
Who we covered Yes. 

266
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,600
In the Lindsay Lohan and 
Samantha Ronson episode. 

267
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,880
And Charlotte Ronson is also a 
fashion designer. 

268
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,680
So oh. 
My God, I guess that guy just 

269
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,840
likes fashion designers. 
Really specific. 

270
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Yeah, wait, that is weird. 
It happened twice, yeah. 

271
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,880
So yeah, fun ended. 
Some people speculate that Jack 

272
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,120
was never all in for fun, that 
he was initially 60% steel 

273
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:02,280
train, 40% fun, then it became 
60% fun, 40% bleachers, and Nate

274
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440
wanted him to be 100. 
But that's just fan speculation.

275
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,520
He seems like a workaholic. 
Oh yeah, he he definitely does. 

276
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,760
I can't even believe how much 
stuff he does. 

277
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,040
Yeah, he has his hands in 
everything. 

278
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,000
Yeah, 'cause he he's on the one 
hand working on his own music. 

279
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Then he's also like, Oh yeah, 
I'm working on the Taylor album,

280
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,240
working on the Claro album. 
They're working with everybody. 

281
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,160
I know everybody. 
It's getting crazy. 

282
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Yeah. 
So then he's been doing 

283
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160
bleachers as well, which I 
really like. 

284
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,080
And he's said that it's very 
inspired by suburban youth and 

285
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,000
John Hughes movies. 
Oh, it's been said that Jack is 

286
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,520
a germaphobe. 
And despite living in New York 

287
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,360
City for a very long time, he 
hasn't rode the subway since 

288
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,040
2001 because of the germs. 
So he drives everywhere in New 

289
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,920
York, and he covers his hand 
with his sleeves to open doors. 

290
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560
So he's he's like a real 
hardcore germaphobe. 

291
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,599
Yeah, it almost sounds like to 
the point where it could be 

292
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:10,000
annoying. 
Yeah, he seems very polite, but 

293
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,400
also I would think someone 
being, I don't know why. 

294
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,480
Imagine someone that's a 
germaphobe is kind of uptight, 

295
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,240
but he also. 
He also is apparently a reckless

296
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,119
driver and had horrible grades 
in high school. 

297
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,920
It's kind of hard to read. 
He lived at home until he was 28

298
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,160
due to touring with bands, so he
was never really home anyway. 

299
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,000
And he seems simultaneously very
optimistic, but also kind of 

300
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,480
down about the world to saying 
things like fuck that, you know,

301
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,760
hate that about the world, you 
know? 

302
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,760
I feel like he always says stuff
like that, but he's very loyal, 

303
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,760
caring. 
He seems like a very patient 

304
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,800
person, and Lorde has described 
him as one of the weirdest 

305
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,160
people she's ever met. 
And that he dresses like a 

306
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,880
scumbag. 
OK, I copied you with the quotes

307
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,000
from other people. 
All right? 

308
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Now, Lena Dunham. 
Oh my goodness was born May 

309
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,560
13th, 1986. 
She was born in New York City, 

310
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,360
so not not that far from Jack 
Ingnoff. 

311
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Her father, Carol Dunham is a 
painter and her mother, Laurie 

312
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,880
Simmons is a photographer. 
So this was a very, very 

313
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,600
artistic household. 
She has younger sibling Cyrus. 

314
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,120
Her father is Protestant, 
mother, Jewish, and she grew up 

315
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:35,400
feeling culturally Jewish and 
later in life connected more to 

316
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Judaism. 
So her and Jack have that in 

317
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,600
common. 
Lena has said that she was 

318
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080
bullied as a kid, things like 
kids pushing her down and would 

319
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,240
count how long it took for her 
to stand up. 

320
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,240
She said that she felt very much
like a loser. 

321
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,600
And in 7th grade she transferred
schools to, I think she went to 

322
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,360
a kind of a hippie, I don't 
know, experimental type of 

323
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:00,760
school before this. 
And then she transferred to 

324
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,400
Saint Anne's School in Brooklyn,
and that's where she met Jemima 

325
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Kirk, who plays Jessa on girls, 
and that's where they became 

326
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,840
friends. 
I think she's so cool. 

327
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Lena was diagnosed with OCD as a
child and continued to take a 

328
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:23,600
low dose of Klonopin until 2018.
And she has also, her whole life

329
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,040
suffered from endometriosis, 
which will be a big part of this

330
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,480
story. 
So I think a lot of the stuff in

331
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,360
Girls about Hannah having OCD, 
with the repetition and 

332
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:36,320
everything, I think that's from 
Lena's real life. 

333
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,920
If you guys saw that. 
She briefly attended the New 

334
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,880
School University in New York, 
and then she transferred to 

335
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Oberlin College in Ohio, which 
is where the girls went on the 

336
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,680
show Girls and she studied 
creative writing in college. 

337
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,200
She produced several short films
which were on YouTube, and I 

338
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,360
don't know if they're still 
there, but actually watched one 

339
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,760
of them back in the day and I 
liked it. 

340
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,640
She launched a web series in 
2007 called Tight Shots. 

341
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,040
On the website nerve.com and 
then after graduating she 

342
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,840
returned to her parents house in
New York and she continued to 

343
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,440
try to make films while she was 
babysitting and she wrote for 

344
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000
the Onion in the AV Club. 
That would be interesting to 

345
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,920
find her articles from that. 
Oh, I know. 

346
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,320
I wonder if they're still out 
there. 

347
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320
She then wrote, directed and 
starred in a film called 

348
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,200
Creative Nonfiction in 2009, and
that was actually shown at South

349
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,280
by Southwest. 
And then her and a friend 

350
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,360
created a web series called 
Delusional Downtown Divas, also 

351
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,920
in 2009. 
Then she wrote, directed and 

352
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,080
starred in another DIY film, 
Tiny Furniture, which stars 

353
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,680
Jemima Kirk, AKA Jessa from 
Girls. 

354
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,040
This was also at South by 
Southwest, and this is kind of 

355
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,160
the film that made her 
successful because then it was 

356
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,160
picked up by IFC Films and it 
received a wider theatrical 

357
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,720
release, probably like in New 
York. 

358
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,280
And Judd Apatow, the director 
and producer, saw the film and 

359
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,480
approached Lena about developing
ATV show for cable channel HBO. 

360
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,080
So that's how it happened. 
That's so impressive. 

361
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,240
You know what I was thinking of 
as you're talking about Lena 

362
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,000
Dunham? 
I thought a lot of the people 

363
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480
who I know who are very critical
of Lena Dunham. 

364
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Especially because I went to a 
school, a school called Emerson 

365
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,760
College, which is really 
liberal. 

366
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,720
It's performing arts school 
people. 

367
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,840
They're very, yeah, film school 
people there are very outspoken,

368
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,920
but a lot of the people who hate
Lena Dunham are people who 

369
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,680
ironically are very similar to 
her. 

370
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,280
I almost feel like it comes from
a sense of self hatred because 

371
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,440
people, it's like they're 
critical of her because. 

372
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,240
They're annoyed by the parts 
about themselves that remind 

373
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560
them of Lena Dunham or something
like, I don't know, no, I can 

374
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,520
totally. 
See that different from her? 

375
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,920
And I think sometimes we get 
jealous of people that are so 

376
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,560
outspoken and just doing 
whatever the heck we they want 

377
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,480
because we feel like, wait a 
second, I I'm not allowed to do 

378
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:13,880
that. 
Really. 

379
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,920
I feel like I'm not allowed or I
wouldn't do that. 

380
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,440
How can you do that? 
So I don't know. 

381
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,120
I do think a lot of people were 
probably jealous of her success.

382
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,720
Again, like women being held to 
such a high standard of 

383
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,400
perfectionism. 
Yeah. 

384
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,400
And like, because she's 
outspoken and she cares about 

385
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,800
some causes and she's vocal 
about them. 

386
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,080
But obviously, as her blind 
spots, people just want to 

387
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,480
villainize her completely rather
than accept that people are not 

388
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,720
perfect. 
According to her book, Not That 

389
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,080
Kind of girl. 
It seems like Lena had a couple 

390
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,000
of boyfriends before Jack. 
A few casual counters too, 

391
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,400
although she didn't lose her 
virginity until sophomore year 

392
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,080
of college. 
Sorry Lena, I hope that's not 

393
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,680
weird, but you said it. 
That's a respectable age. 

394
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,440
Yeah. 
I mean, wait, never mind. 

395
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,200
Well, I don't want to say any 
age is not respectable, but it's

396
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,440
a normal. 
I think that's the average age. 

397
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,760
I feel like in most TV shows and
such, they act like everybody 

398
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,680
has sex in high school and that 
always kind of bothered me. 

399
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,840
I remember. 
I remember. 

400
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,640
Do as much I know I was going to
say, I remember being upset on 

401
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,880
Degrassi when the last virgin on
the show had sex, 'cause I was 

402
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,760
like, I don't know what the 
heck, everybody had sex. 

403
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000
That's honestly, that's pretty 
unrealistic. 

404
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,040
It's normal not to don't if 
you're a teenager listening, 

405
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,880
don't. 
Don't feel bad. 

406
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,200
But I think that that storyline 
on Girls were Shoshanna. 

407
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,360
She almost sleeps with a guy and
then she tells him that she's a 

408
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:58,240
virgin and then he doesn't want 
to anymore. 

409
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,960
That pretty much happened in 
real life to Lena. 

410
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,920
It's in her book. 
Oh wow. 

411
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,600
Yeah, a lot. 
A lot of the show is from her 

412
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,240
life, it seems. 
But yeah, she had been dating 

413
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600
someone. 
I don't know who, but then it 

414
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,920
ended. 
And then then Jack and Lena met 

415
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,400
April 2012. 
They were set up on a blind 

416
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280
date. 
Well, as much of A blind date as

417
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,800
it could be, because I think 
they're pretty famous already, 

418
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,080
but set up by either Jack's 
sister Rachel Antonov, or his 

419
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,840
friend, the comedian Mike 
Birbiglia. 

420
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:40,160
I read both. 
So I don't know who actually 

421
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,600
said maybe they both did, maybe 
they both were like, you should 

422
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,880
go out. 
But apparently Lena was 40 

423
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,840
minutes late. 
I know. 

424
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,800
And Jack, despite this, Jack 
told The New Yorker. 

425
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,120
I told Lena everything about my 
whole life, because when you 

426
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,960
really like someone, you want 
them to know everything about 

427
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,400
you. 
I guess it was a good date. 

428
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,840
Yeah. 
I don't think it's good to tell 

429
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,680
someone everything about your 
first date. 

430
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,760
You have to leave them wanting 
more, I know, and I I my next 

431
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,080
bullet point in my notes was 
that I do think that both of 

432
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,600
them seem like they are somewhat
obsessive and nervous people, 

433
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,720
and also both very sentimental 
and nostalgic and romantic. 

434
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,600
So. 
That's cute. 

435
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760
But also, I can imagine that 
that makes things too much 

436
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,160
sometimes. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

437
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,880
Even though their first date was
April 2012, it wasn't reported 

438
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,800
to the public until September. 
And as I said, there were 

439
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,800
articles saying Lena Dunham is 
dating the guy from fun and I 

440
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080
guess she asked to use some fun 
songs and girls. 

441
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,760
It's weird to call it fun songs,
some fun songs. 

442
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,240
December 2012 Jacquelina were 
seen kissing passionately 

443
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,320
outside Kings Rd. 
Cafe in LA, and at this point 

444
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,280
she already had her short hair 
and overalls and he was in his 

445
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,080
classic huge black glasses that 
he always wears. 

446
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,000
It's kind of like Tim Burton in 
that way. 

447
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,400
In 2013. 
Oh my God, Lena Dunham. 

448
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,400
January 2013, Lena adopted a 
rescue mutt named Lambie, who 

449
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,720
became her and Jack's dog. 
Oh yeah. 

450
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,360
Kevin, does this ring a bell to 
you? 

451
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,040
Yes, my brother. 
I told him we were doing this 

452
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840
episode and he goes, oh, I don't
like her. 

453
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,600
Didn't she get rid of her dog? 
Yes, not yet in the story. 

454
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,480
But they do get rid of they re 
home, Lamby. 

455
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,600
Oh no, they don't kick him on 
the street or anything, but but 

456
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,640
Jack and Lena were obsessed with
Lambie. 

457
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,880
They made an Instagram account 
for him and they just they were 

458
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,800
talking non-stop about this dog.
They were absolutely obsessed. 

459
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,400
So that's why it seems so 
shocking later on when Lambie is

460
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,280
no longer living with them. 
But we're not. 

461
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,080
We're not there yet. 
That will happen. 

462
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,560
But spoiler what? 
That's. 

463
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,200
Bad, I know, I know. 
But I think. 

464
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280
I think when you learn more 
about it, like it kind of makes 

465
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,120
sense. 
At least I think it does. 

466
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,520
But Lena was seen wearing a ring
on her ring finger and asked if 

467
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,000
she was engaged. 
Don't they do that? 

468
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,880
F this is becoming such a trend.
Why? 

469
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,600
She must have done that for a 
bit. 

470
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,240
It's so attention seagame. 
I could see her doing that, but 

471
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,920
she said I am not engaged. 
I don't want to get married 

472
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,200
until all gay people can get 
married that that will come up 

473
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,600
again later, she went on Howard 
Stern, and apparently beforehand

474
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,560
on his show, Howard had said 
that he didn't like girls and 

475
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,240
that the little fat chick looked
like Jonah Hill and was a camera

476
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,920
hog. 
Oh my God. 

477
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,520
But I know. 
But then later, after he watched

478
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,440
more episodes with his wife, he 
changed his mind and admitted 

479
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,440
that he was addicted to the show
and that he felt bad and wanted 

480
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920
to apologize to her. 
Oh, that's sweet. 

481
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,160
I know. 
So then Lena called into his 

482
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,880
show. 
This was actually just after she

483
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,320
won some Golden Globes for 
girls, and they seemed to get 

484
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480
along pretty well. 
And then at one point, she said 

485
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,600
to him, like, you know, I'm not 
that fat. 

486
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,960
And he said, you're not obese or
anything. 

487
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,160
Oh my. 
God, I know. 

488
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,640
Oh, people are so mean to her 
about her weight. 

489
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,840
I know. 
Ridiculous. 

490
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,320
That's again. 
Another reason, though, why I 

491
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,160
think that people want to hate 
her is because she's overweight.

492
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Yeah, but even though that was 
really horrible, what he said, I

493
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,680
appreciate that. 
He said he was wrong and 

494
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
apologized. 
That is nice. 

495
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,560
Howard Stern also asked her 
about how she felt about the 

496
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,000
fact that Jack Antonoff used to 
date Scarlett Johansson and she 

497
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
said it doesn't give me that 
much anxiety. 

498
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,680
I feel good. 
I feel OK. 

499
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,080
When somebody makes you feel 
special, I don't think you're 

500
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,760
that concerned about things like
that. 

501
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,080
That's so true, yeah. 
If it's a healthy relationship, 

502
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,720
then you wouldn't feel insecure 
about it. 

503
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:21,440
Yeah, Fun won several awards at 
the Grammys that February, and 

504
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,080
then that's kind of like the 
last of fun and fun is over. 

505
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Yeah, and then Lena participated
in the We Think Alone project by

506
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,360
Miranda July, where she wrote a 
love letter to Jack. 

507
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,440
And I won't read the whole thing
because we're going to have a 

508
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,360
lot of writing by her, but this 
is at the end of the letter she 

509
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,680
wrote. 
I felt I could spend 4 days on a

510
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,560
beach with you and it wouldn't 
be enough time to hear all the 

511
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,000
stories you have to tell. 
I literally want to know 

512
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,360
everything you have ever seen 
and what you felt like while you

513
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,720
were seeing it. 
And I will be so much better my 

514
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,360
whole life for knowing those 
things. 

515
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,240
I love you, Lena. 
Oh, that is love. 

516
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Yeah, she really loves him. 
It's really sweet. 

517
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640
In the LA Times, Jack was asked 
about the controversy around 

518
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,800
girls. 
They were kind of talking about 

519
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,080
earlier, And he said, I try to 
stay out of it. 

520
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,880
There's no one stronger than 
Lena. 

521
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,120
That's nice. 
And then in this other article, 

522
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,920
even though she had just said 
that, you know, everything was 

523
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,720
fine about the Scarlett 
Johansson thing, she said that 

524
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,000
she felt like she was 
hallucinating when she learned 

525
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,880
that Jack used to date Scarlett 
Johansson. 

526
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,640
I can see that, yeah. 
Now we're in 2014, Lena and Jack

527
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,720
moved into a place in Brooklyn 
Heights together after 

528
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,640
previously living in Lena's 
apartment. 

529
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Apparently it took a year to 
close the deal for some reason. 

530
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Wait, so had they only been 
dating for a few months before 

531
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,040
moving in together? 
It seems kind of like it. 

532
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,480
I mean, they first met. 
They've been dating for a bit 

533
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,400
now because now it's 2014 and 
their first date was 2012. 

534
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,200
But it hasn't been two years 
yet. 

535
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,800
It's been like a year and a 
half. 

536
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,000
Does seem like they moved in 
really quickly. 

537
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,880
Not as quickly as Pete and 
Ariana Grande, but yeah, because

538
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,760
I actually couldn't figure out 
when he moved in with her. 

539
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,320
But it might have been pretty 
much right away because I think 

540
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,040
he was kind of between places, 
you know, touring. 

541
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,560
I don't. 
Know that's New York City for 

542
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,240
you. 
Yeah, exactly. 

543
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Even for the rich and famous. 
Yeah. 

544
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,480
Or economical. 
Yes, there was a Rolling Stone 

545
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,760
video called inside Jack 
Antonoff's Brooklyn apartment 

546
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,120
and he he just takes you around 
the place and you can see on the

547
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,680
wall this sign. 
It's not a neon sign. 

548
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,560
It's like a light bulb sign. 
Do you know what I mean? 

549
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,000
It was like old fashioned light 
bulbs. 

550
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Anyway, it says J Heart L OH. 
Cute. 

551
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,440
Yeah, it's really cute. 
And they have a lot of pictures 

552
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,800
of Lambie everywhere. 
Like art paintings of Lambie. 

553
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,720
What is going to happen, Lambie?
I know it sounds like they're 

554
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,640
really creative together. 
It sounds cool, like while he's 

555
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,200
making music, she's writing and 
there's doodles everywhere, and 

556
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,880
it just seems like a very cozy 
life they have. 

557
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Going on March 2014, Lina 
directed his music video. 

558
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,120
I want to get better for 
Bleachers. 

559
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:32,360
I want to get better. 
I remember that November 2014, 

560
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,760
her book Not That Kind of Girl 
is published, which I mentioned 

561
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,880
earlier, and she wrote about 
Jack in it. 

562
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,480
And I'm going to read a little 
passage. 

563
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,280
OK, this is page 76 for anybody 
else following along. 

564
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,040
If you can, turn your attention 
to page 76. 

565
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,000
All right Kelly, So this this 
chapter was kind of all about 

566
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,080
her different boyfriends. 
And then it says and then he 

567
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,480
appeared gap toothed, sculpey 
faced, glasses like a cartoon so

568
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,840
earnest I was suspicious and so 
witty I was scared. 

569
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,480
I saw him standing there, yellow
cardigan and hunched shoulders 

570
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,560
and thought, look, there's my 
friend. 

571
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,080
The next months were lesson and 
opening up, letting go, being 

572
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,440
kind and brave. 
I have written all sorts of 

573
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,440
paragraphs recounting those 
months together. 

574
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,560
First kiss, first Mr. Softy. 
First time I noticed that he 

575
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,920
won't touch a doorknob without 
covering his hand with his 

576
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,480
sweatshirt. 
I've written sentences about how

577
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,800
the first time we made love, I 
felt like dropping my keys on 

578
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,280
the table after a long trip and 
after wearing his sneakers as we

579
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,480
ran across the park toward my 
house, which would someday be 

580
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,080
our house. 
About the way he gathered me up 

581
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,920
after a long, terrible day and 
put me to bed about the fact 

582
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,360
that he is my family now. 
I wrote it down, found the words

583
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,200
that evoked the exact feeling of
the edge of the park at 11:00 PM

584
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,400
on a hot Tuesday night with the 
man I was starting to love. 

585
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,080
But surveying those words, I 
realized they are mine. 

586
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,480
They he is mine to protect. 
There's so much I've shared and 

587
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,639
so much that's been crushed by 
the sharing. 

588
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,199
I never mourned it because it 
never mattered. 

589
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:14,920
I don't know what that part 
means. 

590
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,239
Yeah, I don't get that Mourned. 
What? 

591
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,920
So much I've shared and so much 
that's been crushed by the 

592
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,600
sharing. 
I never warned it. 

593
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,800
Oh, maybe she's talking about, 
like, her past relationships. 

594
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,679
Oh, OK, that she's Because I 
guess she, even though she wrote

595
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,040
that about him and she does 
mention him throughout the book,

596
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,000
she doesn't talk about him as 
much as she talks about other 

597
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,840
things. 
Yeah, so maybe that's what she's

598
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,280
saying, that writing about 
things in her past made them, 

599
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,679
like, less important somehow. 
I don't know. 

600
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,199
Anyway, I thought that that was 
just a really nice description 

601
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,120
insight into their relationship.
He does seem like he's a safe 

602
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,240
haven for her and it just clicks
like it all makes sense. 

603
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:12,160
Yeah, there were rumours again 
about an engagement, but Jack 

604
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,880
told ABC News. 
But they wouldn't be getting 

605
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,120
married till it's legal for 
everyone. 

606
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,000
That's what I personally 
believe, he said. 

607
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,880
To me it seems odd to get 
married, especially when someone

608
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000
else can't, and I always 
believed, especially in my 

609
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,720
state, that it should be a 
country thing. 

610
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,280
Celebrities were always saying 
that back then and I well, I do 

611
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,280
think it is good to take a stand
and like you know. 

612
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,720
It should be equal for 
everybody. 

613
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:44,040
I almost wonder if, like, it's 
kind of a cop out for people 

614
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,920
too, if they're in a 
relationship but they're not 

615
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,560
really ready to be like, well, 
I'm, I'm not going to get 

616
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,200
married until it's legal for 
everyone. 

617
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,480
Oh yeah. 
But also like, in the back of 

618
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,080
their mind, they're like, but I 
don't really want to get married

619
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,080
anyway. 
Yeah, I think that this was 

620
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:04,400
important to them, but they did 
not really think because they 

621
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,160
had decided this, they were kind
of able to push it off and not 

622
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,080
think about it. 
And this will come up once it is

623
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,040
legalized, which is actually 
coming up very soon in the in 

624
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,240
the story that they actually 
realized that they hadn't 

625
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,400
strongly thought about it. 
Yeah, that's so true. 

626
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,720
You know, so then it's 2015 and 
Jack talked to the Times. 

627
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,400
I don't know what times, but the
Times about Lena and said we've 

628
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,920
been together for over 2 years, 
which for me is a long time, and

629
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,800
I still want to know everything 
about her. 

630
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,680
That's what falling in love is. 
You're wrapped up in a mystery 

631
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,840
novel, lost in an exciting 
world. 

632
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,480
When I get home from the studio,
Lena's the first person to hear 

633
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,240
anything and I can tell if 
something's good or not by her 

634
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,840
reaction. 
We both work so much chip away 

635
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,200
to things for so long, but it's 
not like we get oversensitive. 

636
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,560
We're not 19. 
We can take criticism. 

637
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,280
I love criticism from her, so it
sounds like he really loves her.

638
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,240
They're in their 20s still at 
this point. 

639
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:11,200
By the time it's their birthdays
this year, he is 31 and she's 

640
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,680
29. 
OK. 

641
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,640
Yeah. 
So you know, a lot older, late 

642
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:23,600
20s, early 30s, June 2015, gay 
marriage becomes legally 

643
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:29,640
recognized in the US and Lena 
tweeted excitedly about this. 

644
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,160
Oh, she's very active on Twitter
by the way, which is where like 

645
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,560
half of her faux pas and foot 
and mouths happen. 

646
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,320
But Lena was very excited and 
then she tweeted at Jack and 

647
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,760
said get on it yo dot dot dot. 
And he didn't reply. 

648
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Oh my gosh, that's embarrassing,
do you think? 

649
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,960
He replied privately, hopefully.
But gosh, don't leave. 

650
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,840
Like, if I did that, like, I 
wouldn't want to be left hanging

651
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,160
there. 
Oh no, that's so awkward. 

652
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,600
I remember this actually. 
There were lots of news articles

653
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,200
wondering if they would get 
married now like they said they 

654
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,800
would. 
And around this time, July, A 

655
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,440
month later, like July 2015 till
2017. 

656
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,400
This is when Lorde starts 
recording her album Melodrama 

657
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:30,440
with Jack Hinton off primarily 
at his and Lena's home studio at

658
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,600
him and Lena's house. 
And Lorde actually lived there 

659
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,880
with them for a time. 
Oh wow. 

660
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,840
I know. 
I didn't know that. 

661
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,680
It's like she was adopted by 
them. 

662
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:46,120
She could have been July. 
That same July, 2015, Lena wrote

663
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,880
an article for The New Yorker 
about marriage and her 

664
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,960
perspective on it and how it had
changed throughout her life. 

665
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,960
I don't know how quickly she 
wrote this, but she talked about

666
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:02,240
meeting Jack and falling for 
him, and then his beliefs in 

667
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,200
equality for LGBTQ citizens and 
why that was the reason she fell

668
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,080
in love with him, and she said I
watched him struggle with the 

669
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,640
decision of whether or not 
perform at straight couples 

670
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,160
wedding weddings. 
He discussed the matter at 

671
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,240
length with queer friends, 
concerned that it might be a 

672
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,840
form of betrayal. 
Ultimately he was given their 

673
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,880
blessing, though he seemed 
fairly tortured about it. 

674
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,040
Anyhow, the struggle was real 
and raw for Jack, and so somehow

675
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,400
it became understood between us 
that we wouldn't even consider 

676
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,200
marrying, marrying until every 
American had the same right. 

677
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,760
And I said it probably whenever 
I had the chance. 

678
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800
With the grandiosity and 
intimidations of sacrifice you 

679
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,760
can hear from certain lesser 
vegans. 

680
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,800
But sometimes in a moment of 
deep gratitude, I would mutter 

681
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,120
these words to Jack unbidden, 
marry me. 

682
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,560
They became a kind of code, a 
way of giving millions of other 

683
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,640
kinds of loving thanks. 
And then she talks about how 

684
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,800
then, when the court, Supreme 
Court ruled gay marriage legal, 

685
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,440
she said soon after, another 
kind of text started to trickle 

686
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,440
in. 
Now you can get married. 

687
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:09,320
Hello bride to be so. 
Sounds like she wants it a lot. 

688
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,920
Tea. 
I don't know. 

689
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,000
Yeah. 
So as I said, she's 29 now. 

690
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,480
He's 31. 
She went on Ellen and talked 

691
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,560
about this again and said the 
day gay, gay marriage became 

692
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,640
legal across this country, we 
were thrilled. 

693
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,280
We were celebrating. 
And then suddenly the text 

694
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,800
started coming in from our 
friends, from our mothers, from 

695
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,920
our exercise instructors. 
We kind of looked at each other.

696
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,200
We were like, oh God, what have 
we done? 

697
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,640
We're not going to suddenly just
get engaged because it became 

698
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,600
legal. 
We better wait for a moment 

699
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,080
where we feel excited about 
this. 

700
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,840
And I'm excited to marry him at 
some point, but it felt like a 

701
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,960
lot of pressure to just go for 
it that day. 

702
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,920
And then she said we own a dog 
together, we own a home 

703
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,200
together, but the marriage thing
is a big deal. 

704
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,040
Yeah, That's why I feel like 
when celebrities respond that 

705
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,760
way, it's an altruistic way to 
just not answer the question. 

706
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,880
They're afraid. 
Of their own sake. 

707
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,080
So they're just like using it as
a cop out. 

708
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,680
Just say I don't want to answer,
Yeah, I know they don't have 

709
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,360
that. 
They don't have that cop out 

710
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,840
anymore. 
What do people usually say when 

711
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,720
they are trying to avoid the 
question? 

712
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,160
Yeah, nowadays. 
Let's see. 

713
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,360
Are you going to get married 
Any. 

714
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,280
Oh, they probably say, you know,
I don't care about the piece of 

715
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,400
paper. 
Oh yeah. 

716
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:40,360
Yeah, What does Zac Efron say? 
It's serving me for now, serving

717
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,160
me for now. 
I don't know about tomorrow, the

718
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,640
next day, but right now it is 
serving me. 

719
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,520
I wish I had been. 
I wish I had been doing this all

720
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,880
along. 
But I would love to compile just

721
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,800
like the iconic quotes from I 
know people we've covered like 

722
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:03,720
that. 
So OK, now we're in 2016. 

723
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,440
There's the Grammys bleachers, 
Taylor Swift. 

724
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,200
Jack's working with her. 
Lena's hanging out with her all 

725
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,360
the time. 
That's what's going on right 

726
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,360
now. 
But also, Lena has been 

727
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,960
hospitalized a couple times. 
She's had a few surgeries for 

728
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,080
her endometriosis. 
It seems like she's really 

729
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,720
suffering with that. 
She had a ruptured ovarian cyst.

730
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,560
April Jack gives Lena an 
anniversary ring for four years 

731
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,200
together. 
Oh, so it's been 4 years. 

732
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,720
I feel like if you were really 
wanting. 

733
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:41,600
To get engaged and someone gives
you an anniversary ring, it's 

734
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,640
like, OK, I wonder if she was 
disappointed. 

735
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,280
Yeah, you're like what? 
Does this. 

736
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,600
Whoa, I heard that. 
It's like, what does? 

737
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,760
Oh my God. 
Hands of the city, It's fitting 

738
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,800
because they lived in New York. 
They lived in Brooklyn. 

739
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,440
That's true. 
September 2016 is the final day 

740
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,360
of filming Girls, and I think it
was hard for Lena. 

741
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,880
She said that it was part of her
identity and that she was kind 

742
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,560
of lost after. 
And then November, Hillary 

743
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,720
Clinton lost the presidential 
election, and Lena was very 

744
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:22,800
involved in that campaign and 
seemed devastated. 

745
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,000
By that. 
And then continued to experience

746
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,160
a lot of pain and issues from 
her endometriosis. 

747
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,720
It seems like she was in the 
hospital a lot and just 

748
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:36,480
generally having a lot of bad 
days. 

749
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,280
Yeah. 
Endometriosis is sometimes I 

750
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,040
think I have it, but it just 
seems so awful because it's like

751
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,760
there's no relief, doesn't even 
matter what time of the month it

752
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,760
is. 
Have you ever talked to a doctor

753
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,920
about it? 
How do they like? 

754
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,200
How do? 
They it's very The thing is 

755
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,720
that. 
It's so hard to diagnose because

756
00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:00,000
for the most part I think you 
can only officially be diagnosed

757
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,200
is if you have surgery and like 
they see the scar tissue and 

758
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,040
stuff. 
So, like, just to get a 

759
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,200
diagnosis I think is really adds
like a lot of validation, but 

760
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,600
it's really hard. 
Yeah, I mean, surgery is always 

761
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:20,240
serious. 
So then February 2017, at age 

762
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:24,640
31, Lena had a hysterectomy. 
Wow, I know. 

763
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,560
And about this, she said. 
I've been battling endometriosis

764
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,640
for a decade and this will be my
9th surgical procedure. 

765
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,160
No doctor has ever confirmed 
this for me, meaning like that 

766
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,040
she has to do this. 
But they've told me I have a 

767
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,800
slightly higher chance of 
miscarriage. 

768
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,120
Their goal is for preserve my 
fertility. 

769
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,480
That is what they consider to be
their job, and I laugh and 

770
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,400
smile. 
But I know that the blank space,

771
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,920
the blank hole is an empty womb 
captured on screen is all I'll 

772
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,560
ever see. 
And she said that the pain had 

773
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,040
become unbearable and that she'd
tried everything she said. 

774
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,160
I go to pelvic floor therapy, 
massage therapy, pain therapy, 

775
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,640
color therapy, acupuncture, 
yoga, and a brief yet horrifying

776
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,720
foray into vaginal massage from 
a stranger. 

777
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,320
Oh my God, I know. 
I didn't know that. 

778
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,840
I didn't know they offered that.
I know it's really sad though, 

779
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,120
because she has repeatedly said 
that she wants to be a mother 

780
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,680
and experience pregnancy. 
Yeah, that is very extreme. 

781
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,800
I read when that when she got 
her hysterectomy, I read 

782
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,520
articles that said that doesn't 
actually help with 

783
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,240
endometriosis, that you can 
still experience pain after. 

784
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:36,200
But I haven't looked into it, so
I don't, yeah, I mean, you've 

785
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,880
got something I don't know 
enough about. 

786
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,520
I think that it didn't end all 
the pain because part of it is 

787
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,840
that you have the tissue outside
of your uterus and everything, 

788
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,280
but I think I think it did help 
a bit and she actually, after 

789
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,400
that had her left ovary removed 
too, which I didn't know that 

790
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,840
that was left. 
It's really serious though, 

791
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,640
because doing the surgery caused
her to go through the early 

792
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,160
stages of menopause just in her.
Early 30s, Yeah. 

793
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,720
Which is also a huge hormonal 
change. 

794
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,600
Yeah. 
So she's like in Perimenopause, 

795
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:19,400
already in her 30s. 
Then June 2017, people started 

796
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,920
to notice how odd it was that 
Lena and Jack hadn't posted any 

797
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,760
pictures of Lambie, their dog, 
in a while because they used to 

798
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,880
be obsessed. 
And then Lena posted on her 

799
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,440
Instagram, telling the world 
that after four years of 

800
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,160
challenging behavior and 
aggression, she had given Lambie

801
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,320
to a new owner, Danny Shea, who 
is more educated in Lambie 

802
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,680
specific trauma and can better 
handle him. 

803
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,520
What type of dog was Lamby? 
He was like he was a pretty 

804
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,520
small dog, it seems. 
Oh, maybe it was a mix. 

805
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,520
People were really tearing her 
apart for this. 

806
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,680
But I don't know. 
I think that she kind of did 

807
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,840
what she had to do because 
there's a lot of stories of 

808
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,800
Lamby biting people. 
Oh yeah, and not if. 

809
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:11,080
They live in the city, yeah. 
Yeah, and it wasn't even just 

810
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,320
her. 
Like, even back in 2013. 

811
00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:15,040
So this is way before this 
happened. 

812
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,040
She had tweeted something about 
Lambie, like biting her butt or 

813
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,960
something. 
And Jack's sister Rachel and 

814
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,640
Lina's, two of Lina's friends on
Twitter said that Lambie also 

815
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,400
bit them. 
And it's kind of weird because 

816
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,040
Lina seemed to be, like, 
laughing it off, but they 

817
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:35,680
actually seemed annoyed by it. 
Yeah, I would be annoyed too, if

818
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,320
someone's dog bit me and the 
person wasn't that sorry about 

819
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,880
it. 
I know I. 

820
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,640
I hate the idea of anyone giving
their dog away because the dog 

821
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,240
doesn't know and it's you're 
their family. 

822
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,640
But it seems like in this 
situation they're probably doing

823
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,880
what was best for Lamby and I 
bet it was really hard for them.

824
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,080
But it's better that the dog is 
in a home where they're getting 

825
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:04,320
properly trained and they're 
probably not in the city 

826
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,680
anymore. 
And so the dog isn't around 

827
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,800
people as much and is not put in
situations where God forbid it. 

828
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,000
He might attack somebody and 
then have to get put down, yeah.

829
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,840
I mean, I I think it's clear 
that they loved Lambie. 

830
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,480
I don't really get why people 
freaked out about this so much 

831
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,240
because I've known some people 
that had to give up their dogs, 

832
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:28,720
and I don't think they're like 
evil people for it. 

833
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,840
They just. 
And I bet it was a heartbreaking

834
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,440
decision that they had to make. 
Yeah, it it seemed like it was. 

835
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,120
But then it got really dramatic 
because the shelter that she got

836
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Lambie from claimed that he had 
no issues. 

837
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,040
But I feel I don't trust that 
because they're just trying to 

838
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,240
defend their shelter. 
And you know, it's kind of like 

839
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:52,280
a when a business gets a bad 
review and then they're gangs to

840
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,360
respond. 
Just seem like, yeah. 

841
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,360
And like you said, it seems like
there's evidence that Lambie did

842
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,600
bite people. 
Yeah, I mean, also, unless she 

843
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,120
was, I mean, she's so TMI as we 
said, and she shares so much 

844
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,480
about her life and unless she 
orchestrated this or she caused 

845
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,280
this, I don't know. 
But she had even posted pictures

846
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,640
of herself bleeding from Lambie 
biting her. 

847
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,960
Where the anger might be coming 
from is some celebrities 

848
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,920
seemingly do get dogs and then 
get rid of them really quickly 

849
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,320
as if they're accessories, which
I think when you adopt A pet, 

850
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,960
that should be for life and you 
should go into it thinking that 

851
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,200
you're going to be. 
The caretaker for life. 

852
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,800
But yeah, in this situation, it 
probably was in Lambie's best 

853
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,000
interest not to be put in 
situations where he might have 

854
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,520
to get put down for behavioral 
issues, yeah. 

855
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,080
That's probably better to, like,
not be in a New York City 

856
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,200
apartment. 
Yeah. 

857
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,440
And I don't know, I mean, it 
seems like she she claims she 

858
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,920
was super dedicated to him and 
she has had other pets since 

859
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,320
then too. 
But she probably is busy also 

860
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:02,680
and is maybe just not the right 
person to, you know, take on a 

861
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,600
dog that has a lot of needs. 
And I I do think a lot of pets 

862
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,640
do have issues from a shelter. 
It's not saying that there's 

863
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,000
anything wrong with the shelter,
but I think it is just traumatic

864
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,880
to be placed in one in the first
place. 

865
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,760
Yeah. 
And then definitely, I mean, I 

866
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,680
even think like my cat lived in 
a shelter and I feel like he had

867
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,920
some issues. 
I wouldn't blame anybody. 

868
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,160
And it's just it is what it is. 
She did have two new poodles at 

869
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,440
this time, Susan and Karen, I 
think. 

870
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:31,640
She has. 
I think that makes it a little 

871
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:32,880
bit. 
I do think that makes it a 

872
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,800
little bit worse that she had. 
Poodles that She got two, Yeah. 

873
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,640
Then she got two dogs that are 
like, more designer Y I know. 

874
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,920
Anyway, so that's the Lambie 
drama. 

875
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,600
It's another time Nina Dunham 
got herself in trouble on the 

876
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,240
Internet. 
But how come Jack's not in 

877
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:53,720
trouble for that? 
I know exactly, right? 

878
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,240
Wasn't it Jack's dog too? 
Yeah. 

879
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:58,200
See, everyone's so much harder 
on her. 

880
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,120
I know. 
What about Jack Antonoff? 

881
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,800
What the heck? 
I also hate this idea. 

882
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,320
I've seen this a little bit 
lately with Jack marrying 

883
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,680
Margaret quality where people 
are like, oh wow, Jack really 

884
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,320
upgraded. 
Like people want to act like 

885
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,680
Jack. 
Yeah, like people want to act 

886
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,520
like Jack was a victim in this 
relationship, that he was like 

887
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,560
tied down by Lena Dunham. 
That's so terrible. 

888
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,400
I know. 
So then, November 2019, Lena 

889
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,400
wrote on Twitter that she 
thought Jack was proposing that 

890
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,200
that turned out not to be true. 
OK, Lena, put your phone away. 

891
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,360
This is a little too much, too 
much. 

892
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,400
Oh gosh, I'm cringing. 
Well wait till you hear this, 

893
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,120
she said. 
I thought Jack was furtively 

894
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,200
planning a proposal to me with 
his sister, and he just admitted

895
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,080
I actually caught him shit 
talking shit about me. 

896
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,440
Now I literally can't sleep 
because I'm laughing too hard 

897
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,880
and I'm also keeping him awake 
5.5 years, no rock. 

898
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,760
And you know what? 
It's real nice. 

899
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,480
Lena. 
Why are you? 

900
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,240
Telling this us this, I think 
it's so. 

901
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,600
I think it's a bad sign when 
people are that open about their

902
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,640
relationship. 
I know because I don't know. 

903
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,800
But are are they sitting in bed 
and she's tweeting about him? 

904
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,800
I don't know. 
I'm imagining, imagining it, 

905
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,400
that he's still in the other 
room. 

906
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,960
Oh my gosh, imagine. 
Then he goes on Twitter and he's

907
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:34,920
like, Lena, What the fuck? 
I know. 

908
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,280
Why did he do that? 
Because it seems like he's 

909
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,640
definitely not trying to 
propose. 

910
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,560
I know there's one more tweet, 
she said. 

911
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,600
They were huddled and I heard 
him say Lena and Finger, so it 

912
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,120
obviously seemed like an 
engagement. 

913
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,320
Ring talk. 
But she was actually shitting on

914
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,560
her. 
Yeah. 

915
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,520
What could that be? 
Finger. 

916
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,400
Finger. 
Yeah. 

917
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Why didn't she tell? 
Did she hurt her finger or 

918
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:06,560
something? 
What happened? 

919
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,760
That could be anything that I 
really, I do think that people 

920
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,120
were talking about engagements. 
I don't know. 

921
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,200
Like even though a finger is 
involved in that, it's not like 

922
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,840
a word that it's not necessarily
a keyword in the ritual of a 

923
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,120
proposal. 
Someone might say like ring 

924
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,920
size. 
Exactly. 

925
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,840
Or hand like. 
How does it look on her hand but

926
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,200
finger? 
I don't know. 

927
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,320
I don't think, yeah. 
Oh, Lena. 

928
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,760
Oh, Lena. 
And then I feel so bad for her 

929
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:46,000
because only a couple months 
after this Twitter exchange, 

930
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,480
January 2018 news comes out that
Jack and Lena have broken up 

931
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,760
after almost six years together.
Wow, yeah. 

932
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,080
So her tweeting that, it's 
almost like, is she so 

933
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,720
comfortable with him that she's 
confident that they will get 

934
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:04,040
engaged? 
Or is it eating at her that he's

935
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,040
not proposing yet and so she's 
acting out? 

936
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,440
I know it kind of seems like 
both. 

937
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,440
It is weird that she said 5.5 
years no rock. 

938
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,320
And you know what? 
It's real nice. 

939
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,720
That seems a bit. 
Salty seems like salty, but 

940
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:22,200
she's trying to convince herself
otherwise. 

941
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:28,800
I know. 
Oh, it's very cringe worthy. 

942
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,800
It's very cringe worthy. 
Both of their reps confirmed it 

943
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,320
and Lena's said that the break 
was amicable. 

944
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:44,200
Imagine having a Rep. 
I know it would be nice, yeah, 

945
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,760
who knows if this is true? 
But an insider told Us Weekly. 

946
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,880
As the years went on, it just 
wasn't a match. 

947
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:54,800
She has been through so much and
she's still trying to figure out

948
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,440
the best steps forward for 
herself and her career. 

949
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,280
Doing it on her own is the best 
thing for her now. 

950
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,440
Navigating her career forward, 
making good decisions. 

951
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:12,800
OK, I I believe the first part, 
but I don't think I I don't buy 

952
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,680
the the breakup had anything to 
do with her. 

953
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,200
Career. 
No. 

954
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,160
Me neither. 
I don't think he was holding her

955
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,840
back career wise. 
And she was. 

956
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,480
The busiest she had ever been 
when they were newly dating. 

957
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,840
Yeah, and which is when you need
to. 

958
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,680
Almost put the most effort into 
the relationship because you're 

959
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,560
getting to know each other. 
I think she had a lot more free 

960
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,320
time at this point. 
I mean, she had, she did have 

961
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,160
projects, she was staying busy. 
She had the Lenny Letter, which 

962
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,720
was this newsletter she was 
doing with Jenny Connor and they

963
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:46,320
were trying to do all these 
things like published books. 

964
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,360
I think she had a podcast and 
she she wasn't doing nothing, 

965
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,080
but I don't think it would be as
busy as running a show. 

966
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:58,480
You know, on her podcast that I 
don't know if it's still going 

967
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,040
because they haven't published 
any episodes in a year, but the 

968
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,400
C word it's called, I listened 
to a couple episodes of it and 

969
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,200
she mentioned that she didn't 
say which breakup, but I feel 

970
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,880
like I could guess which one. 
She said that she got so many 

971
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,120
texts from people after the news
came up saying just wanted to 

972
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:22,400
say hi, people wanting to know 
what happened, but like just 

973
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,920
coming out of the woodwork. 
So I thought that was 

974
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,280
interesting. 
But she also said that it kind 

975
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,120
of hurt her because she felt 
like a lot of people that knew 

976
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,280
her were more interested in her 
now that she was sad and that 

977
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,200
this was happening than before. 
You know what I mean? 

978
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,120
Like all her acquaintances and 
people she worked with were. 

979
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,120
I mean, it comes from a good 
place. 

980
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,280
I think they want to help. 
Her a good place. 

981
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,320
I think she's better than the 
alternative, that they don't 

982
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,200
care about you now that you're 
no longer with Jack Antonoff. 

983
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,440
That's true. 
I feel like I got what she was 

984
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,120
saying, though, that they 
weren't really there for her 

985
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,040
other times. 
And then when this happened, 

986
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:03,320
they. 
I can think she just thought 

987
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,840
that some people wanted the 
gossip. 

988
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,480
Oh yeah, you know, that makes 
sense. 

989
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,880
I think she does have some 
friends that care about her to 

990
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,040
the cut, she said. 
I feel like the cut was a big 

991
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,960
outlet for them, she said. 
Our relationship probably lasted

992
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,440
longer than it should have. 
He's a very loyal person, so he 

993
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,160
was not going to bail when the 
going got tough. 

994
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,920
He literally held my hand when I
got an enema on New Year's Eve 

995
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,320
while his family celebrated. 
But when you're sick, so much 

996
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,920
energy goes into making sure the
other person is well that you're

997
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,920
not even noticing. 
Maybe our schedules aren't 

998
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,160
compatible. 
Maybe we want different things 

999
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,880
out of our lives. 
Maybe we have different 

1000
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,200
attitudes about what family 
means. 

1001
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,840
Maybe these essential questions 
that people have to ask 

1002
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,000
themselves all the time are not 
being asked because we just want

1003
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,560
to make sure that I don't pass 
out at the grocery store. 

1004
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,120
Yeah, they're in survival mode. 
Yeah. 

1005
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,920
Yeah. 
I I don't know. 

1006
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,440
To me, it does seem like he 
ended it. 

1007
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:07,040
Yeah, I'm getting that too. 
A source said that he was seeing

1008
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,280
someone else shortly after. 
This. 

1009
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:15,080
That's got to be painful, Yeah. 
And the crazy thing is that this

1010
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,320
wasn't Us Weekly. 
I mean, OK, I don't know if we 

1011
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,480
can even trust them. 
First of all, I've never really 

1012
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,040
trusted them that much. 
But there was statement that 

1013
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,960
said the relationship is done 
and he has moved on. 

1014
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,160
But then if you look at the 
Google cache version of the 

1015
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:33,520
story, like in the back end, 
because somebody, someone 

1016
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,440
notices I didn't, I didn't 
discover this. 

1017
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,240
No, no, I didn't discover this. 
Somebody else discovered this 

1018
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,760
that if you look at the CAGED 
version it says it's done and is

1019
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,640
moved on with in seeing someone 
else who is a musician. 

1020
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,240
This was Us Weekly, yeah. 
But they removed Lord. 

1021
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,160
And yeah, a lot of people do 
wonder about Jack's relationship

1022
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,960
with Lord the singer and if 
anything was there or if there 

1023
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,840
was overlap. 
And I remember you talked to me 

1024
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,120
about this once and I was like, 
no, I don't think so. 

1025
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,280
But I had not honestly looked 
too much into it, Mel. 

1026
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,480
So then I did and it is 
interesting. 

1027
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,480
OK, so I'll just, I'll tell you 
some things. 

1028
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,680
So as we said that Lord was like
living in their house for a 

1029
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:26,880
while and they were obviously 
very close making her record. 

1030
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,440
And I did watch a clip of them 
performing at Outside Lands 

1031
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,640
Music Festival and they did seem
really cozy. 

1032
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,920
They were like sitting super 
close together and Lord kind of 

1033
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,720
like squeezed his knee. 
Person on Twitter named Hillary 

1034
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:47,520
made a 39 page PowerPoint you 
can still view to prove that 

1035
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,160
something happened between Lord 
and Jack and I. 

1036
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,760
Love when people do this. 
I know honestly, a lot of the 

1037
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,280
evidence. 
I don't know. 

1038
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,040
It wasn't really convincing me 
that much, but there were some 

1039
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,400
things. 
Like Lorde has said, we were 

1040
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,640
obsessed with each other and 
that they Facetimed every day. 

1041
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:08,480
And Lorde wrote a huge paragraph
for him on his birthday. 

1042
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,240
And then they were also seen in 
Auckland, New Zealand, where 

1043
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,920
she's from walking down the 
street and she was like hugging 

1044
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,440
her arms around him. 
Oh yeah, that's intimate. 

1045
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,920
Yeah, very intimate and 
apparently. 

1046
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,960
Lena unfollowed Lorde and 
deleted her previous tweets 

1047
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,480
about Lorde that had all been 
really positive. 

1048
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:35,480
Yes, that is the most damning. 
I know that proves it. 

1049
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,440
I. 
Think so. 

1050
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:42,520
But it's odd for me because 
really quickly after all of 

1051
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,400
this, he started dating somebody
else named Carlotta Cole, a 

1052
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,280
model. 
So I'm like, what if he I wonder

1053
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,560
if he cheated with Lorde? 
I don't know. 

1054
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,320
But then he dated this Carlotta 
girl really soon after I I don't

1055
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,000
have the month, but literally 
like maybe right around this 

1056
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:09,120
time him and Lord cheated but he
didn't leave Lena for Lord. 

1057
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,480
Maybe. 
I feel like something may be 

1058
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:14,880
bad. 
Yeah. 

1059
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,360
I know, and I don't know if 
something happened between them.

1060
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,200
It I don't think lasted because 
then he's dating. 

1061
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,320
This Carlotta girl. 
But it is interesting because if

1062
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,680
something did happen, Jack did 
still work with her on her third

1063
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,600
album. 
So I don't really get how that 

1064
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,200
works. 
But also, no offense Lord, I've 

1065
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,720
always been a big fan of yours. 
But that third album was not the

1066
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,000
best, so maybe their 
relationship wasn't as good 

1067
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,520
anymore. 
Yeah, maybe you just gave her 

1068
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,280
the scraps. 
Yeah, actually some people have 

1069
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:54,080
said that yeah, it does. 
It does seem not as strong. 

1070
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:59,720
Yeah, one of the songs sounds so
much like one of Lana's songs on

1071
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,280
chemtrails, and everyone has 
pointed that out, so maybe he 

1072
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:09,160
kind of phoned it in that time. 
Lena was actually asked about 

1073
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:15,240
these rumors with the cut and. 
She answered. 

1074
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,320
I mean, when does Lena never not
answer a question? 

1075
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,960
I know, she said. 
I don't think anything happened 

1076
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,080
between them. 
I can never know someone else's 

1077
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,120
life. 
I have never spoken to Ella. 

1078
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,720
That's her real name about it. 
We haven't. 

1079
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,640
Yeah. 
We haven't talked since Jack and

1080
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,240
I broke up. 
It was awful and I couldn't do 

1081
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,040
anything about it except trust 
what he was saying to me was 

1082
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,800
true. 
Oh my God. 

1083
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:43,560
She just told us a lot without. 
I know telling us first of all 

1084
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,400
she called Lord by her first 
name to me that's like that's 

1085
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,280
kind of, I don't know what do 
you think about that that's how.

1086
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,880
She, yeah. 
And also that she does know her 

1087
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,240
pretty well. 
But to say I don't think 

1088
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,000
anything happened and to say 
would she say that like I 

1089
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,360
trusted what? 
Yeah, she said. 

1090
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,120
I couldn't do anything about it 
except trust that what he was 

1091
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,080
saying to me was true. 
Yeah, to me. 

1092
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,680
That tells me she had her 
suspicions. 

1093
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,200
Yeah, because. 
But maybe she didn't like proof.

1094
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,480
Yeah, And, she says. 
I don't know what happens in 

1095
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,840
anyone else's life. 
Yeah, it seems like something 

1096
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:23,480
that she's really had to 
reconcile with. 

1097
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:27,640
Like, did did something happen? 
And she's letting go of the need

1098
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,840
to have control over it by just 
accepting that. 

1099
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,000
She'll never really know, but 
she just has to accept. 

1100
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,880
And it is crazy that we haven't 
talked since we broke up. 

1101
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,920
I think that's weird because I. 
Think the word basically lived 

1102
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,600
with her? 
Yeah, and that she deleted the 

1103
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,720
tweets. 
Even if something didn't happen,

1104
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:50,640
she clearly had her suspicions 
and was uncomfortable, and it's 

1105
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,960
unfortunate that Jack put her in
the situation to be 

1106
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,080
uncomfortable. 
I know he shouldn't. 

1107
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,400
Honestly, he should not be 
Facetiming Lord every single 

1108
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:01,800
day. 
If he's in a relationship, 

1109
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,120
especially if he's dating 
someone who has health issues 

1110
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,040
going on, then they're going to 
be even more nervous. 

1111
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,720
Someone who just had a 
hysterectomy like, oh, am I not 

1112
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:14,200
attractive enough anymore? 
And Lord's way younger. 

1113
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:21,880
Yeah, so that's tough. 
I feel like in this relationship

1114
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,960
he was probably giving most of 
his time to so many other women 

1115
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,560
that he's collaborating with. 
I know. 

1116
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,400
I don't really get why he always
collaborates with women, yeah. 

1117
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,680
I don't get creepy vibes from 
him, but it's it's just odd. 

1118
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,240
I don't know. 
Yeah, 'cause he's also so close 

1119
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:39,760
with all the women that he 
collaborates, yeah. 

1120
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,200
They all act like I have a 
special bond with Jack, yeah. 

1121
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,960
Whereas usually I feel like 
other music producers, they're 

1122
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,880
just like, yeah, we had a great 
time in the studio. 

1123
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,840
He really did a great job. 
Like, I don't know. 

1124
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,200
I feel like Ed Sheeran. 
He collaborates with a lot of 

1125
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:01,640
different musicians, male or 
female, and it's not as intense.

1126
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,600
Yeah, they don't act like 
they're soul mates because they 

1127
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,320
made a record together, but I 
feel like everyone Jack works 

1128
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,680
with, it's like that. 
It's like we were up day and 

1129
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,120
night together. 
Us at the piano. 

1130
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,200
Like we poured our hearts out to
each other, Yeah. 

1131
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:24,240
What is up with that? 
Lena talked also to The Cut 

1132
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:28,480
about Jack's new relationship 
with the model Carlotta Cole and

1133
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,000
said. 
I thought I was kind of proving 

1134
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,160
weird girls can have love too, 
and now he's dating somebody who

1135
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,040
looks regular and normal and 
like girls are supposed to look.

1136
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,120
That is painful. 
But oddly, Lena follows this 

1137
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,760
Carlotta lady on Instagram and 
it seems like they actually 

1138
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,600
worked together more recently, 
so way after all this happened. 

1139
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,680
But I think Carlotta is a 
photographer too, and it seems 

1140
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,240
like she did some work for 
Lena's movie Sharp Stick and 

1141
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,960
that she even tagged Lena and 
stuff. 

1142
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,600
So. 
Interesting. 

1143
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,240
Maybe they bonded after Carlotta
and Jack broke up. 

1144
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:04,880
I don't know why. 
Yeah, I thought that would be 

1145
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,360
pretty bonding to become friends
with someone who also dated your

1146
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:09,800
ex after the fact. 
It's. 

1147
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,040
Kind of always been my dream to 
talk to a girl that dated 

1148
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,160
someone that I did. 
This never happened. 

1149
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,200
Yeah, and like, share notes and 
be like me too. 

1150
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Oh my God, that that really 
could create a beautiful 

1151
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:24,920
friendship. 
It. 

1152
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,760
Could it could. 
Also, sadly for Lena, around 

1153
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:33,200
this time of her breakup with 
Jack, her and her longtime 

1154
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,200
creative partner Jenny Connor 
also went their separate ways. 

1155
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,680
They had made girls together, 
and they had a production 

1156
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,480
company together, and Lenny 
lettered their newsletter. 

1157
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:49,520
They did. 
They dissolved both of them, and

1158
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,600
I don't know, it seems like they
stopped being friends. 

1159
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,960
I don't. 
Know. 

1160
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,840
And Lena seems really distraught
about this. 

1161
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,800
Wake up too, and wrote about it 
and said maybe my illness made 

1162
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,200
me impossible to be close to. 
Maybe my fame made me impossible

1163
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,800
to be close to. 
I'll work that stuff out in the 

1164
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,480
future. 
But I was not operating in 

1165
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,840
healthy relationships to the 
people closest to me. 

1166
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,240
Now she doesn't have to absorb 
whatever bullshit I tweet that 

1167
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,120
day. 
Whatever I do doesn't have to 

1168
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,720
now be hers, which I'm sure I'd 
imagine if I were her it would 

1169
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,400
be a relief. 
And then she said, yeah, I'm not

1170
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,800
for everybody. 
You know what that's reminded me

1171
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,720
of? 
Liability by Lauren. 

1172
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,720
That song really is Lena's 
anthem, though. 

1173
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,400
She really is. 
She is not for everybody, and 

1174
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:38,520
that's a tough pill to swallow. 
Yeah, I remember, Lena tweeted 

1175
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,800
one time something about I can't
listen to any of my favorite 

1176
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,000
breakup songs because my 
ex-boyfriend produced all of 

1177
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,680
them. 
Oh yeah, that will be tough. 

1178
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:56,880
She wrote a lot of essays about.
This breakup I I found four of 

1179
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:00,400
them. 
She wrote A lot about it. 

1180
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,560
That's a healthy way to channel 
your energy. 

1181
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,640
Better than tweeting about it, 
too, because you really have to.

1182
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,080
Yeah, Thought into what you're 
saying. 

1183
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,000
Yes, she definitely tweeted, 
too. 

1184
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,399
She's just talking about this 
left and right like crazy. 

1185
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,760
It is sad though. 
I I feel bad for her at this 

1186
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,479
point. 
Like I can tell she's really, 

1187
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,080
really struggling and really 
heartbroken. 

1188
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,240
She talks about the end of the 
relationship, realizing that 

1189
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:36,240
it's over and she said the 
finality nearly killed me and I 

1190
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,800
remember muttering. 
But what if we still want on 

1191
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,520
Went on dates, He laughed sadly.
Whatever you want. 

1192
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,800
I know. 
And the rest of the essay, she 

1193
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,040
goes on, talking about getting 
used to being alone again. 

1194
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,840
And then this is crazy. 
August 2018, months after the 

1195
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,120
relationship has ended because 
he broke up in January, Lena 

1196
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:03,840
tweeted a picture of a list of 
baby names she had made with 

1197
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:08,520
Jack in 2015. 
Lena, I know, OK? 

1198
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,359
Like now you're kind of showing 
us why you guys broke up. 

1199
01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:16,680
Because seems like you have. 
Poor impulse control she does. 

1200
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,399
Oh, Lena, she said. 
Hey at Jack Antonoff I just 

1201
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:25,840
found, she tweeted at Lena. 
I just found a potential baby 

1202
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,000
name list we made in 2015. 
I could definitely keep this 

1203
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,600
private, but then the world 
wouldn't know that you suggested

1204
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,080
Carrot over and over. dot, dot. 
dot. 

1205
01:09:34,279 --> 01:09:36,000
Love you. 
Exclamation mark, Exclamation 

1206
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,399
mark, Exclamation mark. 
Do you want to hear? 

1207
01:09:38,399 --> 01:09:41,960
That's kind of yeah. 
But wait, that's really unhinged

1208
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,479
of her. 
I'm sorry. 

1209
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,040
He might be newly dating 
somebody else now, right? 

1210
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,680
Yeah. 
Is he dating that model at this 

1211
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,319
point? 
Yes, yeah, he's in a 

1212
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:55,040
relationship and it's like 
you're trying to prove to the 

1213
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,520
world we were so serious about 
each other that we were even 

1214
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,720
talking about having a baby 
together. 

1215
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,120
Yeah, OK. 
Yeah. 

1216
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,440
I want to hear the names though.
OK, the list is. 

1217
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,760
Oz. 
OZ OK Kelly. 

1218
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,920
Oh your name. 
I know Thank you not NA OK 

1219
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,400
Carrot. 
Carrot. 

1220
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:24,480
Ricky Lee. 
Jackie. 

1221
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,720
Eddie. 
Joy. 

1222
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,720
Sara Lee. 
Zavi. 

1223
01:10:31,480 --> 01:10:35,800
Tony with an eye. 
Camilla Loretta. 

1224
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:42,880
RA, Shogo and Claire. 
Oh, see, But here, here's the 

1225
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,920
other thing. 
Now she's taking away his 

1226
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:51,320
opportunity to ever use any of 
these names because his future 

1227
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,840
wife would be like, wasn't that 
the name you were talking about 

1228
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,960
with your ex-girlfriend? 
I know, Lena. 

1229
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,640
That is so weird. 
And did he respond? 

1230
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:06,320
Oh my gosh, so. 
I hope you're not listening, 

1231
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,800
Lena. 
I really am rooting for you. 

1232
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,960
After the list went out, she 
called Jack a few times and he 

1233
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,400
didn't pick up right away. 
I wonder if she's blocked 

1234
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,400
because why? 
Also she have. 

1235
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:20,960
To Well, then he did get back to
her. 

1236
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,640
He was in the studio I guess, 
and then he, I think, I don't 

1237
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,160
know if it was a text or a phone
call, but he said no, it's 

1238
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,040
funny. 
Oh OK. 

1239
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,840
But still that sounds. 
That's chill of him. 

1240
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,480
It is chill, but it kind of 
sounds like he's just being 

1241
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:36,280
like, yeah, yeah, not even 
putting any energy into it. 

1242
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:37,880
Like, don't freak out. 
Like, it's funny. 

1243
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,480
It's almost a worse it's, I 
know, different to it. 

1244
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,840
Oh God and. 
She said I think this was to the

1245
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,440
cut. 
She is telling this whole story,

1246
01:11:46,440 --> 01:11:48,720
she said. 
He knows that being the 

1247
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,920
hysterical ex-girlfriend is kind
of like the weirdest, funniest 

1248
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,720
public performance. 
But she admits that it hurts, 

1249
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:55,760
too. 
You know what? 

1250
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,560
In a way I relate to her, 
though, 'cause don't we all do 

1251
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,280
those things where we're like, 
that was too much of me. 

1252
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,600
Like, why am I making the 
situation worse? 

1253
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,440
I mean, I don't think I'd ever 
do that, but I've definitely 

1254
01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:11,600
acted like a fool and I've been 
like, Jesus, why are my emotions

1255
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,000
getting the better of me right 
now? 

1256
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:17,160
I know, I like. 
That's why it's so hard to read 

1257
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,120
about all this in a way 'cause 
you can, kind of. 

1258
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,160
Relate to the urge to do things 
like that. 

1259
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:28,240
But I know, especially when her 
whole persona is TMI and pushing

1260
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,320
the envelope, that it's like 
it's kind of in character for 

1261
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:36,120
her to do, but it's too far. 
She also told E that she'll 

1262
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:40,400
always wear the ring. 
He gave her the anniversary ring

1263
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,440
because love doesn't have to be 
defined the way we in Western 

1264
01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:47,320
culture define it as beginnings 
and ends. 

1265
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,560
Oh, that's sweet. 
I mean, it is like she's holding

1266
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:55,040
on to a part of her past. 
I mean, that reminds me of our 

1267
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,720
Carly Simon and James Taylor 
episode. 

1268
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,280
When Carly was like, I found 
peace when I accepted that I 

1269
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:05,160
could still love somebody even 
after the relationship was over.

1270
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:09,040
It doesn't have to end. 
Yeah, that can really help 

1271
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,040
because sometimes the hardest 
thing is feeling like you have 

1272
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,080
to let go of that love and like 
you don't want to. 

1273
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,120
Or you don't feel ready yet and 
it's OK to still love somebody 

1274
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,560
and not do anything about it. 
Yeah, November 2018. 

1275
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:28,640
She was interviewed for the cut 
again and said I texted Jack 

1276
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,560
last week and said this isn't 
capital letters. 

1277
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,400
How does it feel to have dated 
someone everybody hates? 

1278
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,880
And he wrote back the only they 
only hate you because they love 

1279
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,480
you so much. 
True story. 

1280
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,600
Which is like what a sweetie. 
What a liar and a sweetie does 

1281
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,360
seem like she wants to get back 
together. 

1282
01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:52,920
Yeah, and she said that Jack 
used to tell her you're a 

1283
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,880
provocateur and you don't even 
know it. 

1284
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,200
You have to look at the fact 
that when you say things, you're

1285
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,760
not just trying to please. 
Sometimes you're actively trying

1286
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,640
to displease people. 
And he forced me to look at the 

1287
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,800
side of myself that had the 
desire to poke the sleeping 

1288
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,040
bear. 
I feel bad for her because it 

1289
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:10,960
just, it seems like she's going 
through a tough time. 

1290
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,320
She's also talking about how 
she's struggling seeing. 

1291
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,360
People around her that are 
pregnant and having babies and 

1292
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,880
yeah then I'm not sure when in 
2018. 

1293
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:26,400
But at some point in 2018 she 
attended rehab for her addiction

1294
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,560
to anti anxiety medication, 
specifically Klonopin. 

1295
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,720
And she said I was to put it 
lightly, misusing benzos even 

1296
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,200
though it was all doctor 
prescribed it stopped being. 

1297
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,560
I take one when I fly to I take 
one when I'm awake. 

1298
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,240
So. 
It seems like she did get help 

1299
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,400
though, and she's been sober to 
this day. 

1300
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,920
That's good. 
Yes, yes. 

1301
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:56,600
She continued to write a lot 
about Jack, though 20/19. 

1302
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:01,200
She wrote for Domino magazine, 
which is like a home magazine 

1303
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:06,600
about buying a house with him. 
And she wrote about how she 

1304
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,840
decorated the place without him 
and. 

1305
01:15:09,440 --> 01:15:12,040
He hated it. 
Which she shouldn't have done 

1306
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:18,720
that, I know, and it seems like 
it really hurt her for some 

1307
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:19,760
reason. 
I don't know. 

1308
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,000
I do think she's a little 
unreasonable, like you should. 

1309
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,760
Again, that reminds me of Carly 
and James because of the pool. 

1310
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,080
And then in 2019, she wrote 
about heartbreak again, this 

1311
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,880
time for the Guardian. 
And it was an article about 

1312
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,960
British Love Island. 
But she also talked about Jack 

1313
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,480
in it. 
Let me see at the I mean, I 

1314
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:44,000
don't know if I'll read the 
whole thing, but I just thought 

1315
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,920
it was sad at the end, she said.
I hope I meet someone who is OK 

1316
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,640
with an infertile, chubby, 
controlling fantasist who has 

1317
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:53,760
made a lot of mistakes but can't
stop trying. 

1318
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,120
I hope I can show my children 
what it means to love. 

1319
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,520
With intention, without losing 
oneself. 

1320
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,080
I hope the villa is always full 
of smiling faces, hopeful 

1321
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,320
hearts, tearful losses and 
ecstatic gains. 

1322
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,480
I hope we can keep cracking on 
into the future forever. 

1323
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:12,240
I hope that Summer never ends. 
So it seems like she was hopeful

1324
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:15,520
that she would meet somebody 
again. 

1325
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,800
Yeah, it does seem like she is a
hopeless romantic. 

1326
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,880
She is. 
It definitely seems like we've 

1327
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:23,920
seen this in some other 
relationships that Jack never 

1328
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,720
really talked as much about. 
Lena, it's not that he didn't. 

1329
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,880
He was avoidant about it or 
anything. 

1330
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,480
Like I saw him mention her in 
some interviews, but I mean, 

1331
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:34,920
he's not like her. 
Like he's not going to write a 

1332
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:39,960
whole essay about the first time
they made love or whatever, but 

1333
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,320
do you think he's written about 
her and his music since the 

1334
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,280
breakup? 
A lot of Jack's earlier Happy 

1335
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,120
Love songs by Bleachers. 
I'd say both. 

1336
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:54,160
The first two albums I think we 
can infer about Lena. 

1337
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,320
He even has a song on his second
album called Let's Get Married, 

1338
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,200
which is very sweet and I think 
it's about her. 

1339
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,160
But then on his 2021 album Take 
the Sadness out of Saturday 

1340
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,680
Night, which is after their 
breakup, he has a song called 

1341
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:14,120
Don't Go Dark, which seems like 
it could be about Lena, and it's

1342
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:18,480
quite negative. 
The lyrics are what are you 

1343
01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:21,520
going to ride for no one at all?
Hey, are you going to cry on 

1344
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,360
demand just to get your number 
called? 

1345
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,720
Oh, baby, I know gone. 
I know gone. 

1346
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,880
I know out of this world. 
Because I've slept in my bed 

1347
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,480
alone next to my girl. 
So what do you want? 

1348
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:33,120
Just don't go dark on me. 
And then he says. 

1349
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,520
Then you cry on my shoulder like
little child. 

1350
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,920
Do what you want. 
Just don't go dark on me. 

1351
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,600
And you're waiting to be saved. 
But ain't nobody coming. 

1352
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,400
It's the same party. 
Trick your dream until you're 

1353
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,200
running. 
Do what you want. 

1354
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,920
Just don't go dark on me. 
And at one point he says, I 

1355
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,080
dream A Little Dream she's not 
out of it. 

1356
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,440
Then I watch her take another 
pill, take another pic, then 

1357
01:17:56,440 --> 01:17:58,760
flip another switch. 
You've just been waiting your 

1358
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,920
whole life to find someone who 
can stand in your storm. 

1359
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:03,960
I stood there and something was 
missing. 

1360
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,320
I still see you, honey, babe. 
But it ain't me that you'll be 

1361
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,960
kissing. 
So I think that's clearly about 

1362
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:11,560
her. 
And it just sounds like someone 

1363
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,680
that has a lot of troubles. 
And he's basically saying, like,

1364
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,880
I can't be part of this anymore,
yeah. 

1365
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,880
I feel like he had moved on and 
he has. 

1366
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,280
He is married now to the actress
Margaret Quali. 

1367
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:28,440
And I think it's so interesting 
because she was in Once Upon a 

1368
01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:31,840
Time in Hollywood and so was 
Lena. 

1369
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:38,360
Yeah, they're both in the cult, 
the Manson cult, so they know 

1370
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,720
each other. 
So weird, I know. 

1371
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,040
But Lena has moved on too. 
She. 

1372
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,960
Got married. 
She met the English Peruvian 

1373
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,360
musician Louise Felber in 
January 2221, and then seven 

1374
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,200
months later they got married. 
Oh, that's good. 

1375
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,400
Yeah. 
And she seems seven months later

1376
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,840
after meeting. 
Yeah. 

1377
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:04,840
Oh wow. 
That's quick, I know. 

1378
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,760
She really wanted to get 
married, you know. 

1379
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:13,920
You know, by the way, the 
what's, what's that song? 

1380
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,760
Margaret. 
Yeah, Margaret, that's about 

1381
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:21,720
Margaret quality. 
It is so interesting, all these 

1382
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:27,760
other characters like Taylor 
Swift and Lana, because Lana 

1383
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,080
seems very to be very good 
friends with Jack and Margaret 

1384
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:34,080
Quali. 
And then I know Taylor Swift was

1385
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,840
friends with both of them. 
I don't know if she's still 

1386
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,760
friends with Lena. 
I think she is still friends 

1387
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,320
with Lena, but it does seem like
she spends a lot of time with 

1388
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,120
Jack. 
And if I was Lena, that would be

1389
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,160
hard for me. 
Yeah, me too. 

1390
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,480
I feel like if I go through a 
really bad breakup with someone,

1391
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:55,000
I don't really. 
Not that I want to put friends 

1392
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,480
in a position where they have to
choose between you, but it can 

1393
01:19:58,480 --> 01:20:02,600
be a little too painful to hear 
about the friend from the other 

1394
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,000
person until yeah, witness them 
get to spend time with someone 

1395
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,000
that you miss a lot. 
I think it would be really hard,

1396
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,440
but yeah, she has a lot of 
connections to him still, so I 

1397
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:14,120
don't. 
Know chances that they'll get 

1398
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,960
back together? 
Zero. 

1399
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,360
Yeah, honestly, the baby name 
tweet was the nail in the 

1400
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:23,760
coffin. 
I know. 

1401
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,000
That and I feel bad because it 
seems like she was embarrassed 

1402
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,280
that she did that. 
I know who gets. 

1403
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:33,680
Custody of you probably. 
Jack. 

1404
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,080
I think I'll still say Lena I I 
would like to hang out with her.

1405
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,080
I think she'd be funny. 
But yeah, Jack does. 

1406
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,560
I do feel bad for her, but yeah,
I can. 

1407
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,240
I can picture her being someone 
who is hard to be around 

1408
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:55,240
sometimes, like, she said. 
But it does seem like she has a 

1409
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,480
self-awareness about that. 
And but I do love people who are

1410
01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:01,080
just authentically themselves. 
Me too. 

1411
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:02,440
I don't know, I think. 
She would. 

1412
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:03,360
Lovely. 
Annoying. 

1413
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,200
Yeah, I expect. 
I don't know. 

1414
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,840
I didn't come out of this loving
Jack Antonoff. 

1415
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,160
I thought I would get to know 
him more and like him more, but 

1416
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:16,040
I don't know. 
Kind of, really. 

1417
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,760
I don't feel like I yeah, I 
don't feel like I got to know 

1418
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,000
him as much through this other 
than he seems a little bit 

1419
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,040
passive. 
Yeah, he does seem passive. 

1420
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,960
It seems like maybe he would 
have wanted the relationship to 

1421
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:32,360
end sooner but was just going on
with it and that's basically 

1422
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:35,600
what she said. 
Well, I wish them both the best.

1423
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,000
Me too. 
I'm happy that they both have 

1424
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:45,600
found partners and yes and moved
on and well, I guess we we 

1425
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:48,520
already said what next week's 
episode is. 

1426
01:21:49,480 --> 01:21:53,600
Next week on the Patreon, we're 
picking up where we left off 

1427
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,440
with Ariana Grande and Pete 
Davidson and our last episode. 

1428
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,600
It's so weird that this was such
a short relationship that 

1429
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,840
there's way too much to say that
we couldn't even fit it all in 

1430
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,480
one episode. 
So in our last episode, we only 

1431
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:10,960
covered the first two months of 
their relationship, and in the 

1432
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:15,000
next episode we will cover the 
next two months of their 

1433
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:20,800
relationship, the final two 
months, and anything after the 

1434
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,840
fact. 
I can't wait. 

1435
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,280
OK. 
Well, thank you guys so much for

1436
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:30,800
listening. 
And we'll get back together next

1437
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,640
week. 
Back together next week. 

1438
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:47,520
Is your heart filled with pain? 
Shall I come back again? 

1439
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,200
