It seems like everything is going out on time and grade school. It's the first time I saw someone tag me and something I was like, this should just want to say, oh, does she make this herself? No, it's going I mean, it's no Amazon Prime. I don't get it twisted, but it is like they're doing good. I don't want to promise anybody getting their stuff in 48 hours.

For friends, most of you, I said, let's get into it all. Let's get into what's happened this week. Our journey started on Tuesday and ended on Saturday. So we'll get to that. We have a whole thing. We're going to talk about the election night gathering.

[00:05:50]

Yes. I want to congratulate you because you have a new life. And I'd like to congratulate, in the same token, the real star of the election, John King. John King, who I miss already. Well, there I know he's there, but not in the same way, not with his magic wall, not with his hands all over that wall, like, OK, we just got to hand it to all of the newscasters, with the exception of maybe like one network that just tirelessly covered this election that lasted so many days.

[00:06:19]

Like, when were they sleeping? Like, I was like, what is John King doing? Is he just, like snorting Adderall in the back and like taking our breaks here and there and getting back out there to the wall? He always looked impeccable. He didn't even look tired at all. And every night I went to say, you know, like the whole week, me and the rest of the country, I went to sleep every night, my phone next to me.

[00:06:36]

And I just picked up the phone first thing in the morning. I was like, oh, God, did anything bad happens? I told you, you have to text me. Something bad happens every night. I went to sleep to John and I woke up to John. You did? Because you go to bed earlier. I went to sleep with Chris and Don Lemon. Every night they come on like 11:00 p.m. till 3:00. So but I just have to say, how did we all of a sudden as a country come together to get so wet over these map daddies?

[00:07:03]

The chart throbs, as you well, we know know some. You guys love Steve Kornacki over at MSNBC. He's great, too. We were team John King, but both of them, you know, the country can come together and agree that they were both great. We don't need to choose a winner for that. But I mean, CNN is Zadig is our own match. I Jaitapur, if you're listening, you can tap us anytime. Yeah.

[00:07:26]

Jake Tapper can tap in. He's just I love his level of snark. You don't really see it coming because he's a Philly guy. He's just right. I love Philly. I saw a meme that said Philly has the best fuck around and find out energy like that. Not that's why do you think fuck around to find out that his energy, his energy when you watch CNN and you watch it for a long time and you're watching Jake Anderson, John King, Krissie, see Don Lemon, Van Jones.

[00:07:57]

Oh, and of course, we got to hand it to the Oggi Wolf, do you think? Well, Fox could. His name is Wolf. Wolf Blitzer. You have to feel good. Yeah. I mean, I feel like there's a sex movie. Could be called The Blitzer. I feel the same way about being named Wolf that I do about spitting in people's mouth. Like, if you're the kind of person that's spitting in mouth, you have to be good at fucking you can't be average.

[00:08:18]

You can't have a name like Wolf Blitzer and be an average league. Yeah. All right. I have an important thing to ask you to kick off this episode. I'm very excited about this episode. We're in the election. We're going The Bachelor and dating stories bring back an old school game. But I have an older, older school game to ask you a question about about the news. And I was thinking, who do I play this with?

[00:08:37]

But now I know, obviously. So we're going to play fuck, marry, kill. OK, John King, of course, Daddy. Chris Junior. Daddy, Chris Cuomo, those daddy, Chris, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Andrew and Daddy Chris and Anderson Cooper. If he was straight. Oh, my God, no. Jake, Chrissy Anderson or John. John, John. Chrissy Anderson. Straight out. Jake's not in there, Anderson.

[00:09:07]

How do you know for in they're Jake's kind of my number one.

[00:09:10]

Jake Tapper. Jake is Jake Tapper is hot. Jake Tapper is here. And I don't even like look older looking. I mean, there are not enough there's no like young guys. Actually, I love the little fact checker. He's so nerdy. Cute. OK, he's not in it, though, right. Anderson Cooper is a beautiful. And do you know about his family history? He's tremendously rich. He's like one of the oldest wealthiest families in New York City.

[00:09:32]

Comes from. Oh, shit. Like billionaire status. OK. Oh, my gosh. It's like, OK, I'm going to fuck Chrissy. No competition. Well, I want to see how he feels. Yeah. That guy is picking you up. Yeah. He is getting nasty with it. He's going to do a little choky little ass smack in your mouth.

[00:09:52]

Oh the Cuomo brothers can get it. OK, I think I can't kill and like I guess I would just. I feel like I want to marry John. OK, so so by default particulars, I get it a stupor I live for, but I'm marrying Anderson Cooper, OK, because he's so rich and you know I am.

[00:10:19]

So you can't separate from him, Johnny. I can't, like, go off brand from what I've been doing all week. All my coverage of John King. John King's has been covering the election. I've been covering John King. But speaking of things that get me wet. Yeah. Let's talk about our week.

[00:10:35]

I want to talk about I want to shout you out for what you did on Election Day election evening. It's been a week. So the week started out with a couple of our friends, a very small gathering in my apartment on election night. It's not a rain Greenberg party like normal, but I know, like people, they're like my favorite thing you do is like a photo booth with, like, streamers. And you asked me, you were like, should I do it?

[00:11:00]

I'm like, bitch. First of all, there's five people coming over. Please do not. We cannot have a stuffed repeat for the election. First of all, it would never be a agreement party without a party city bluebook. So shout out to party city. Sure. Here we are. I did a giant balloon, Brooke. It was humiliating walking down the street with those, but I did do a charcuterie board that I submitted to Jared Phraselator wrong.

[00:11:22]

Why is it sugar charcuterie? That's how you say it. We say shakuhachi. No, OK, I'm leaning into that. OK, this is serious. I did want to give people just kind of like a break from election coverage. I mean, enough people are covering it outside of me. You guys didn't need me. So I think I covered charcuterie coverage that day. I made a beautiful board. Tuborg I over purchased. They were so stunning.

[00:11:47]

And if you guys don't know this, Jared Freed, our lord and savior, he is the board lord. He rates charcuterie board. So if you're not familiar with them, no big deal. But this is a comedian and guy. We loved it like the rates and judges and critiques, charcuterie boards on Instagram and what he said about yours. First of all, he had nothing to critique besides the olives in the pits. Whatever he said, I want to shout out for for her.

[00:12:12]

What a very nice attempt. Very nice attempt. He is that the nicest thing he's ever said. But he can't like I did him responded to it. And I said, very nice attempt. Like he just rolled back the like sunglasses like shade emoji. Like he can't he's never given like an A plus. That's not a thing he does. No. He keeps me wanting more. Yeah. Keeps me in the game. You really still give you a great rating.

[00:12:36]

But he could not say like this is beautiful. This is incredible. I just I want to say my board is beautiful. I overshare, find me. It's on both sides. I overshot.

[00:12:46]

I got a good variety. It was great. Everybody was happy. All the two people are the girl. That one she is. I still can taste it.

[00:12:54]

I like what was that, Andrew? And took a whiff and thought he was going to throw up. I love that she it's like a little, it's a consistency of brie. The rind is a little funky. I will tell you what I have it it looks like Brie and you think you're going to get Brie and what you get is like blue cheese on steroids is so offensive to me. It needs to apologize to me right now.

[00:13:16]

That cheese was horrible. I still can't I can't get over it. I like it. Stayed in my throat all night. I love that it stayed in my throat as long as the election coverage was. And I spent I'm bankrupt now. I spent like one hundred and fifty dollars on a good report for you guys because I love you so much. I got balloons. I still haven't deflated them yet. They're just going to live there. But it was nice.

[00:13:38]

Wasn't around Greenburg plus normal party, but it was you know, it's good now few of us getting together and then we parted ways and the election lasted for five more days. Every night this week I went to sleep and told you that you were in charge of monitoring it. Let me know if I had to wake up upside. Like when we go on trips, you have to monitor the plane. That was me. I have to monitor. I monitor the coverage up until three a.m. every night, actually runs the business and monitors the news until three a.m..

[00:14:00]

Yeah, I have a night shift. Yeah, you did great. Three, but yeah. So we don't tell you guys we were all you know, news was on nonstop. We already talked about our CNN Addie's. But I want to talk about Saturday, two days ago, a day which will live in my heart forever and just share. You know, people will always remember this day for whatever reason. But I thought we could talk about our experiences.

[00:14:24]

And I just have to say that Saturday morning I wake up, I lay in bed, I look at I look at what's going on and maybe check Instagram. Look at Twitter started when I woke up and we didn't know yet that Pennsylvania had flipped. I'll let you pop off about that. We didn't know it was going on. But what was trending on Twitter, it was Four Seasons, total landscaping and I ran up. Nothing has been funnier to me in my entire life.

[00:14:52]

I saw a tweet that said we haven't fully grasped the humor in Four Seasons, total landscaping. I was like, what is this? I look. Trump had tweeted big press conference today at 11:00 a.m. at Four Seasons. Filly, Four Seasons filly comes in, hello, we're not doing this, we're not associated with this, he deletes his tweet, comes back on the press conferences at Four Seasons, total landscaping. I'm so glad you brought this up, because just so you guys behind the scenes as I walk in the park when I go, actually, I need you to explain this to me because I thought it was a joke, OK?

[00:15:24]

I can't like the the tweets alone. And then people started showing photos of horses and landscaping. It's just like a business in like a strip mall or a shitty office park outside of Philly between a sex toy store, like an adult store and a crematorium. People were like, of course, this is how his presidency ends with a Giuliani in the parking lot of a landscaping business between the sex shop and the crematorium. I can't let this happen.

[00:15:55]

I thought this was like the PornHub John King, who said, you know, we had to commit to it.

[00:16:01]

They just taped up, if you like, Trump signs behind like a podium in this bar, whatever you and I thought we were performing at the Four Seasons, we got all of our little girl to come out there. We got Mr. Ball in the dirt like, hey, guys, one of the girls got to. Did you see, I, I like laid in bed last night. I was like fully convulsing with laughter, like not able to sleep about this.

[00:16:23]

My favorite tweet I think I saw was there was a picture of the four of it. It's just like this, you know, normal business. And it said after two weeks of multiple screens and asking everyone to corner, I surprised, but I surprised my inner circle with a trip to Four Seasons total landscaping where we could pretend things were normal for just a brief moment in time, which we don't know. That's that's luck to Kim Kardashian Private Island birthday.

[00:16:52]

I can't get over it. Like, if you think about how fucking funny it is like that. What a joke. Honestly, what a joke. This presidency has been on a lot of levels and it ends that they booked the wrong place like here. Most people are saying that some White House staffer just acts like was stupid enough and just called the wrong four seasons. And then someone just let it fly at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping. My original thought was that and I think I'm wrong now, but I don't know that Trump tweeted out, we have a presser at the Four Seasons and then they didn't.

[00:17:27]

And that was a lie. Then they had to sort of like figure out what to do. I don't think that's what happened. What most people are saying that, like whoever booked this made a mistake because they're just I mean, this is like Kellyanne Conway saying she thought covid-19 was covid-19 because there was eighteen other codes before it like these people are. I'd like to see Giuliani in the parking lot of a Four Seasons landscaping, talking about how the election was fraudulent.

[00:17:47]

And that's not over yet was the best thing I've ever wanted. People, the people that organized this event, I want them to organize the recount because that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. I thought this was a joke.

[00:18:00]

And I got to tell you so much for seasons, total landscaping merch available. A lot of people are selling for season's total landscaping march and the profits are going to benefit the runoffs in Georgia in January. Like are they're going to like Stacey Abrams organization, who, by the way, Stacey Abrams is our Person of the Week. We're going to bring it back. Stacey Abrams, thank you for all that you do, mobilizing all those voters, turning Georgia blue if well, if they're still counting, we don't know what's going on down there, but huge.

[00:18:24]

She's our person. We want to say it, put it on wax. I can't I can't get over it.

[00:18:30]

I can't get over. You know, I've been, like, stuck on this whole Rudy Giuliani thing all week because I don't understand how it happened here. But the Borat movie, like, I don't understand how his staff did, like, figure out that that was what was happening because I used to work at this restaurant. It's up by Central Park. And every time it's by like the Plaza Hotel and all of these like high end hotels. So every time yeah, actually by the Four Seasons, every time a political candidate specifically would come into the restaurant, they would have like 50 staffers also coming to the restaurant to check security.

[00:19:00]

Like a lot of people go to these venues ahead of time to make sure that everything is like correct. Like there's so much put into place. People are safe taking care of protected. Like, how did this happen? Right. I don't understand. It's I can't like and it's so funny because people are like shout out to the person that answered that call and did it correct them. Instead, they just booked a press conference in their parking lot back around to find out.

[00:19:26]

We go up also. I can't wait to stay at the Four Seasons, Billy, for popping off about we don't know this. We don't know him. We don't. So that was my favorite thing. And then I'll tell all the next hour when and then I would kick it to you. That's how I woke up. Not fully grasping the hilarity of this. I'm like, of course this is happening, but like what's going on? And that's all I saw news wise.

[00:19:47]

I put Dewey on his leash and we went out for a walk. And I'm I had not I don't know, my phone. I didn't turn on CNN yet for the day. I was missing John King already, but I was like, I'm just going to, like, not look yet and just start the day in a minute. Got to walk to get my mind right. Go get a coffee. I walked out of my building and I just heard screaming and I heard people screaming and then I heard pots and pans banging like the way people did for the medical workers.

[00:20:14]

Really like I can't breathe or bring it back. Oh my gosh. That at eleven we just do like I tell you. And your boss said the mailman or the new medical workers, because like the way people were popping off about the USPS. So and then I see, like, people are just going crazy and they're running around and it's it's it just happened. They just heard. And people are opening their windows. They're screaming out into the streets.

[00:20:33]

I'm just sobbing like I'm just like it happened. Like I knew what happened. I knew that's what it was. We live in York. We know. We know, we know what's up. If this was in the middle of Alabama, it might have been a different vibe. But like, I was like, it's happening. I'm like walking. Do we crying? People are hanging out their windows, everyone screaming the streets. This girl was just up to me.

[00:20:50]

She's like, oh, my, this girl's got to eat. We took a picture than this other woman comes up to me.

[00:20:53]

She goes, Did we win? And I was like, Yes. And her. And I start screaming on a street corner, me and this woman. And we're both wearing masks. But I was like, are we can we hug? Like she had a dog, too. She was just out walking her dog like that. You hugged her. We like did it. We did like you were like, I don't like that. I didn't know if I would have hugged her.

[00:21:11]

I called my two friends in the building. I was like, let's go up to the roof. And and you're calling him over. And then we had a drink on the roof. And then we went down to Washington Square Park, try to meet up with you. You're going to share your truth in a minute. I was I was texting you and you'll tell what you were doing. But like we were in the park, it was great.

[00:21:30]

Everybody was being safe, wearing masks. People were like letting loose the buy. The energy was incredible. I've never experienced anything like it. I can't describe it. I you know, a lot of you guys were seeing my Instagram stories. And the most heartwarming messages I got were for people that, like, weren't feeling that they were like, no, no shade, but they were one girl was like in Texas or whatever. She was like, this isn't the vibe and I'm so jealous.

[00:21:48]

I wish I was there. And people in other countries were messaging me like it was just so beautiful. I felt such a sense of camaraderie. And then I, you know, we had some food and came back and I watched I was here watching, like, the acceptance speech, acceptance speeches. Can we call on that? So you go to bed three. But that was my day. That's how I found out. I will never forget it.

[00:22:11]

I was like hating that I didn't have my phone. But then this weird sense of, like, I get to just, like, live in this and not be trying to capture it for Instagram. You know, I went up on the roof and did my stories and obviously from the park. But just to be on the street and people just start screaming for joy is something else. It's so special. I couldn't love the city anymore. I know that was happening.

[00:22:32]

Other cities, too. But yesterday was truly one of the most special days that I ever had in my lifetime. No, really, in my lifetime. It I feel like I have felt really low. I have felt hopeless. I felt really dark. It's been really cold. And it's just been getting dark earlier. And I have just I haven't been sleeping. And to finally, like, be here and to experience such joy, such happiness, everybody was just in it and they were singing and there was music and I was dancing and there was just people cheering all through the city.

[00:23:00]

And I feel like there's been so much hatred, so much negativity, so much ill will toward each other. I just felt like this really beautiful day or people came together and I woke up yesterday morning and was like, OK, they're not going to call the election results for days. I got to take a break. I can't get up every morning and watch the news. I can't do it. Sorry, I was not watching the news. I was like, a lot of us took a break.

[00:23:20]

Right. I love that you said that. I feel like a lot of people woke up and they were like, it's Saturday. I do. I got to take a break. I got to take you and your friends. You and I were going to go to the party, had a party. We're going to like go a picnic. So I'm sitting at my desk. I'm looking out the window. I like my music on. I do not have the news on all of it.

[00:23:34]

In the hallway, I hear people screaming in the hallway. I'm like, fuck this building. I move here because all old people, OK, I moved here to specifically not have screaming in the hallway. And so I look I look out the hallway, I'm like glaring these people. I go back and I sit at my desk, which faces out to the window. And all of a sudden I see all this paper and streamers coming down in front of my window.

[00:23:52]

And I live on the 11th floor of a building. So it's weird for anything to be that high in the East Village hall building. Yeah, you know, I hear all the screaming and I see these streamers. It still has not occurred to me that, like, the president won. I thought we were so far away from, like, actually figuring this out. I thought I would have been the first to know. I was glued to the news for four days.

[00:24:12]

And I've no idea the street. It's all I do. So I go up to I'm like, I just got to find out what's happening in here. So then I hear the bells chiming. I'm going to the roof. Half my building's already up there. Everyone is setting off all of these poppers streamers. Crying There's champagne everywhere. My neighbor was up there with you. I spent the whole day with we'll talk about it. I immediately just start getting drunk.

[00:24:33]

I am so happy. I'm texting everybody. I'm like, drunk by 11, 30. There's bagels, there's lox on the roof. It was the best. And then my neighbor and I went downstairs and we went to Union Square, went to Washington Square Park. We danced in the fountain. We just cheered with everybody. And I met up with all these Australian people who are just categorically hotter than Americans. And I spent the whole day doing that.

[00:24:53]

It was great. I tried to meet up with you, but I was we didn't get to meet up. I was in the drunk car. Yeah, but I will say I ran into so many listeners of the podcast in Washington Square Park, and it's so nice to see people. We just did a mean great for like you did it. You did.

[00:25:07]

The girls got to eat snack, had bonding day that day. I did it all week long in the dorms. Thank you, guys. I was talking to you all week. They were open. I was chatting with people. I was loving it. You guys were sending me the most hilarious stuff, also the most inspiring stuff like that. We inspired you to vote or to talk to a family member to encourage others to go out and vote or volunteer at the polls are all these things.

[00:25:29]

And so it tons of messages like that from people and then people all over the world as well. It was really, really special. So challenge you guys, we love you so much and we kind of want to talk about what this election means. You're going to write a story, Ostby, to be continued. Are you dating stuff later in the episode? So the whole thing, because the whole thing. I had something happen to me last night that was crazy you don't know about.

[00:25:49]

So we're going to get into it. We're going to talk about The Bachelor. We're going to do all the stuff. But I you know, I just want to say that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won this election fair and square. You know, this was a beautiful display of our democracy. It looked a little bit different, obviously, due to the pandemic. All these mail in ballots, this is nothing new. States have voted mail in forever.

[00:26:10]

Absentee ballots have been a thing forever. We've used the mail for voting. There was no fraud here. There was no proof of fraud. This is not a thing. This narrative is false. They won fair and square. Joe Biden, we've talked about all this before. We talked in depth about politics in the Elizabeth Warren episode. You're welcome to go back and listen. Fan of him, Delaware guy happy that he won. And Kamala Harris, like, I just we have a woman in the White House, like, it's it's unprecedented.

[00:26:38]

A woman of color at that, the daughter of an immigrant, like the fact that women can see that representation is just so inspirational and so incredible. Like we're we're doing it. We're moving in the right direction. It's so beautiful to see. I'm so happy that this happened in the way that it played out. It's just like it's something to be said. I love that she said in her speech, like the audacity of Joe Biden to choose a woman as his running mate to enter the White House with him.

[00:27:04]

It's so crazy. Also, I love that our CNN Saudis are calling her husband the first dude. But anyway, that being said, I want us to talk about a little bit how we're feeling and what this kind of means. Like, one thing that I loved in Joe Biden's speech was the notion of empathy and bringing people together. And this wasn't like, fuck you all who didn't vote for me. Of course, we never thought that that would be.

[00:27:25]

And that's kind of the message that that I want to send, you know, that like this was never about Republicans versus Democrats. You know, this was just about Trump for us. You know, this was just about like a dangerous, hateful rhetoric and the racism and the misogyny and the bigotry. And there was zero empathy, the disrespect, the undermining of our democracy. The family separated the border, the denying of science, the complete mismanagement pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

[00:27:52]

And the people who voted for him were all OK with that. And I think I know people are so saddened and disappointed and like an array of emotions, thinking about all the millions of people who did vote for Donald Trump, you know, like these people still hold those values. They held them a week ago or two weeks ago, and especially those in marginalized groups who felt especially targeted by him and his followers. And I want to validate that.

[00:28:17]

I want to hold space for that. This election doesn't just magically fix these things and put it and put a Band-Aid on it. I think we have so much more work to do. But we're moving in the right direction towards progress with who we elected, who will be put in place. It feels like we we are going to get there. And speaking of progress and people's beliefs, I just think it's never too late to change. You know, I think that that's what you and I are out here preaching.

[00:28:45]

We had Jamal on. We talked about this. We're out here. You're trying to talk to your old ass family members and change their way of thinking because you have hope that they can change people can shift their their ways of thinking and something can click for them. And so I want to say that it's never too late for people to grow and people to change. And like, the whole point is unity and that we're on the same team. And of course, I know that not everyone will always agree we're never going to all be on the same team.

[00:29:10]

It's not realistic. Some people obviously never change. It's just not the nature of humanity. So I'm not trying to come across naive or so wishful thinking, but hopefully we'll get to a better place than we have been. And so my hope is that Joe Biden and Comley. Do bring the country together on some level and that we do have people that maybe realize they were holding some of those beliefs that were hurtful and dangerous to marginalized groups, and they they want more equality and less violence and hatred and elected leaders who have empathy and integrity and are honest and of course, everything that we all want, a strong economy, jobs, better health care, better education systems.

[00:29:52]

Like we all want those things. You know, preserving the environment like these are positive things, like crazy conspiracy theories. You know, these are steps in the right direction and to us being a more United States. So we are going to keep doing our part and having inclusive guests and trying to give you guys tools where we can. And, of course, talking about this stuff and things that we feel passionately about. Of course, the political content is going to subside post-election.

[00:30:26]

Our goal is still to empower you in your dating lives, relationship sex. We're not losing sight of that, just to be clear. But you guys know that we use our platform for good and to try to make the world a better place and a place that that we want to live in and that you guys want to live in. So we're going to keep working and there's still a lot of work to do and it's never too late for people to change.

[00:30:50]

Yeah.

[00:30:50]

And to get back on the same team again. You know, I haven't felt like this country as a team in a very long time. And to watch your body get on the television last night and say, like, I want to be a president to everybody, even if you didn't vote for me, even if you don't believe the same things that I do like, we're all American. Let's get these things under control. I don't think that this I don't think that this wave a magic wand and changes things so deeply.

[00:31:11]

I think that we are inheriting a lot of problems. I think that there's a lot of people that have been in power, not just Donald Trump, who have made a lot of mistakes, who have created a lot of terrible situations. We have a lot of work ahead of us. And yeah, we're not going to make this podcast political every single week forever. But this is the first time in a long time I felt this renewed sense of hope that we're all going to stop hating each other so much that we're just going to support women and minorities and immigrants because we should that we should be giving opportunities to all of these disenfranchised people.

[00:31:39]

And I feel like there's this notion of community and uplifting each other. I hope and I'm like you. I'm not going to say fuck everybody that voted for Trump. I don't know you people. I don't know how you grew up. I don't know what your families think. I think this has been a really tough time for everybody. And I think that this is so supercharged and it just it feels like we let we let that air out of the tank a little bit, you know, in a good way that we just sort of like release the valve a bit.

[00:32:00]

And I just I feel really hopeful that we have people that are good people that want the best for everyone, even if you didn't vote for them. Right. And I feel a lot of hope and positivity. So we're going to always use our platform for this kind of stuff and to uplift voices and to do the right things. And we appreciate you guys listening through all the election coverage. And I know that you're all stressed. We know that you guys all voted and campaigned and talked to your families and had really tough discussion.

[00:32:29]

So thank you for doing that. I feel like yesterday was really a great move for the for the future. Yeah, we're we're on the right track like this is this is like the beginning. Like, I feel like we have a fresh start, you know what I mean? Like, we can move forward. We can rest easy at night, like we're moving in the right direction. Again, not a quick fix, not a Band-Aid, but we're going to keep doing our part.

[00:32:50]

We hope you guys do. And we're also going to keep making jokes because it's still comedy podcast that laughter is important no matter what. So we're going to keep doing that. Might throw a little shade here and there. We're not we're not going soft, so don't get it twisted. But we're hopeful for the future. So let's fucking go positivity and hope and we're excited for what happened. If you're not excited for what happened, I don't know.

[00:33:13]

Yeah, put up whatever. But I'm excited and I'm hopeful for the future, so. Yes, OK, well, guys, we have a lot more ground to cover, but let's just run through a couple of our partners for this episode, OK? I am telling you guys about Buffy. Buffy is betting the best comforters you will ever sleep with. They also have sheets and duvet covers and pillowcases like all the things you need to make your bed.

[00:33:42]

Just an incredible environmentally friendly oasis. The there are two comforters. There is the cloud comforter and the Buffi Breeze. I have both of them. I love them both, but I really do love the cloud. And that's what I have here on my bed in New York. This comforter is over eleven thousand five star reviews. Customers agree it's the softest, fluffiest comforter they've ever tried. It keeps you the perfect temperature. So you feel cozy without overheating.

[00:34:02]

Huge for me. I am a hot sleeper. I get really hot in the night and this really does control your temperature. And I sleep with it all year round. Sleep with a summer, sleep with in the winter. It's always perfect for me. It's got a eucalyptus fabric that's softer than cotton and naturally smooth skin. It's sustainable. It's hypoallergenic, high thread count shots out dust mites for healthier sleeping environment. And the inside of each comforter is made from one hundred percent versus.

[00:34:25]

Water bottles that are transported and given a second life is a super fluffy fiber. OK, I want to get into this. So my whole bed right now, I have upgraded everything, also everything all white. I never did all white bedding before because I have a dog, you know, but he can't really jump up on the body more. So I'm just like I'm doing it. It feels it's a real cloud. The cloud is so serious in my bedroom right now and I have the soft hemp everything.

[00:34:46]

So I have the buffet cloud comforter and then I have the soft hemp sheets and soft hemp duvet cover. That's what I'm working with. And pillowcases and Sham's obviously. So that is everything on my bed. If you really want to know, I do put a duvet on it and is the soft hemp. I'm obsessed and I would just sleep naked. I sleep naked. Most nights sometimes are like their own little tank top and maybe like a little boy shorts, but like I'm just like feeling that shit on my skin and like loving every second of every walk in my life is my life every day.

[00:35:13]

I know. Have you had the soft hemp on there though? Yes.

[00:35:15]

OK, and and I do. I do do like you do. Yes. And if you're trying to decide I was deamon with the with the follower earlier today, the hemp, the soft, some comfort soft hemp duvet is a little weight to it. So I would say it's still cool. It's cool to the touch. But if you want a little bit lighter weight, I would go with that eucalyptus back anyway. I just had to throw that in.

[00:35:35]

But if nothing else, you guys need the comforter and if you don't want to put a duvet on it, Bradgate, live your truth. And also you can try a comforter in your own bed for free. If you don't love it, we know you will, but you can return at no cost. And we have a discount for you guys. So for twenty dollars off your Buffi comforter, visit Buffy Echo and enter promo Okogie. That's Buffy Dutko Promo Code for twenty dollars off.

[00:35:59]

[00:36:00]

And another thing you guys can do to improve your mojo is neutral. So neutral is the pills that actually and I have been taking. It's no secret. I talk about a lot of podcasts. My hair has been thinning basically my whole adult life. I just don't have like the long hair I did, the thick hair I did in high school. And it's always been like a source of insecurity for me. And I've always wanted to know, like what I could do, whether it's pills, shampoo, anything.

[00:36:25]

And I don't want to get I don't want to clip in extensions, do all the stuff all the time. So I'm honestly, since we started working on YouTube and taking them, I'm really happy with the results. And they gave us some statistics where I was like, OK, I'm not alone. So thirty million women are impacted by weekend or thinning hair. If you're among them, you know, you're are not alone now and there's a solution you guys can trust.

[00:36:42]

It delivers results and you can take back control of your hair. So natural. It's a pill. You take it twice a day. It offers two targeted formulas for women that are clinically shown to improve hair growth and thickness with less shedding through all stages of life. I will say there are some hair care pills where you are just shedding like crazy. I have not noticed that personally. That's just my own personal experience. I am also noticed, like just through a combination of the pills and working on my hair has been growing like crazy.

[00:37:07]

My now has been growing like crazy. I really am happy with that hair growth that ti time you'll begin to experience thicker, stronger, faster growing hair in three or six months. So it's not an overnight thing, but it is something if you commit to it, you really will see results. And I know you're thinking like, what are the results? So I'm in a clinical study. Eighty six percent of women reported improved hair growth after six months.

[00:37:27]

More than fifteen hundred top doctors recommend neutrophil as an effective and high quality solution for healthier your hair. OK, I'm going to say this and get real honest with you guys. I was using it over like the bulk of the warranty when I was living in my parents and I took it for three months and I notice a difference. Look back on my Instagram photos. My hair looked incredible and then I got lazy. I didn't order more and I took like a month off.

[00:37:48]

And I'm not kidding you that I notice the difference. I just felt like my hair wasn't as pretty, it didn't feel as thick. And I went right back on. I wasn't trying to quit. I was just procrastinating and being lazy. Read more. But I can really share my truth that that little bit of time off like I it made it it it it proved to me even more how much it does work. And I got back on it and I feel like it.

[00:38:11]

Then it picked back up in my system and the biotin and all the things that goes into your body. And my hair started feeling and looking better again. My nails started being stronger again like it's, it's, it's the real deal for me. Again, everybody's different. But everybody this is the best you'll find that's out there. So we hope you guys will check it out.

[00:38:52]

All right. All right. Let's talk about the second most important thing that was on television this week. Equally as important was the fourth episode of The Bachelorette I People Season fifty two. How many seasons have there been. No, I've been watching since I was in college.

[00:39:08]

So just like five years, huh? It's a newer show. I have people over my apartment, actually it actually Gavin and Robbie who are on our show. I was like, can you guys please get the fuck out so I can watch it? So I'm really important thing happened this week. Oh, let's give a quick in case you're just under a rock. I don't know the election coverage, whatever The Bachelorette has been on, we've talked about it on a few episodes.

[00:39:32]

If you don't want spoilers, I guess skip ahead right now. But most people know what happened. But there are spoilers here. So skip ahead 10 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever may be. The whole thing is that there was a woman. She was the bachelorette named Clare Crawley. She fell in love with a contestant named Dale Moss, who we know he's been on the show. His episode is called Still Not a Player. It's from summer of 2013.

[00:39:51]

You will go back to it. And they fell in love. And then she left the show. And there's a new bachelorette coming in after four episodes. Unprecedented, never happen before again. But watching the show for for a few years and it's been fucking crazy and that on Thursday night was like still in the midst of the election was this episode where she blew up The Bachelorette. And she will talk about what happened. But she's no longer The Bachelorette and are together, allegedly.

[00:40:20]

Yeah, they knew each other for five days and they're like, this is it really? And you guys obviously want us to talk about it. I want to I want to talk about it. With all due respect to Dale, who is someone that is our friend and his new fiancee, fiance, I guess.

[00:40:35]

I guess my one issue with it is that the season kind of started and we were kind of pitched this like bachelorette that was older and she knew what she wanted and she never settled and she wasn't going to take any shit. And I think we started to see hints of another side of her throughout the season. And that episode that just aired last week to me, she came across as somebody that still has a lot of work to do on themselves. And the language that she was using of I've begged men to love me and I've told men I've loved them and no one has ever stayed like it seemed like that wasn't like her experience in high school.

[00:41:12]

Like that was recent. Like it seemed to me that she doesn't have a lot of self-worth. She has a lot of insecurity. She has a lot of trauma, which we all do. You know, this isn't her fault, but she felt like someone that felt desperate for love, which is not necessarily the person that's like I've never settled because I know what I'm worth, you know. So it was kind of a flip flop from that. And I don't want to drag her by any stretch.

[00:41:37]

We all watched the show. We all saw this happen. It was sad to me, I guess, from a standpoint of the stuff that we talk about, of like live your best life, be whole on your own, don't look for a man to complete you. Don't be desperate for someone to stay with. You know that you're OK on your own. And I think she's been through a lot. I want to give her credit. This is still not hate on Claire.

[00:41:56]

I wish them the best. I truly do. This isn't like I have a crush on Dale. That's a bit, guys.

[00:42:01]

I mean, I haven't even talked. You know, I've been waiting for People magazine to pick up the fact that actually I was commenting on everyone else post being like, I'm right here. I'm going to get some press today for what you're doing for the show.

[00:42:13]

But now I don't actually have a crush on Dale. If I did, I wouldn't be in his in his comments like I have been, I would be very watchful. So I wish them the best. Truly. I think they're good people. I really do. I think she doesn't totally know herself. And I think we were promised this like bad bitch. And we got this like I'm begging for love, you know? So that's kind of that was what bummed me out from a female perspective.

[00:42:39]

Yeah. I think it took sort of a dark negative turn that I wasn't expecting. And listen, we've done interviews. We didn't love the way they sounded. I think that editing can do a lot. Good call to change the way the people work, because I have been made to look like I said things I didn't fucking say. But I do. You did say you listen that song and repeat, though, even though Cosmo. Yeah. Thank you for bringing that up.

[00:42:59]

No, I get it though. Yeah. Like, I begged men to love me. They might have gotten a weak moment.

[00:43:03]

Hundred percent. But they said the truth. I mean but I think that like for the four episodes they showed her, she would only talk about Dale. She's interviewing every guy on the show about Dale. And I think The Bachelor is kind of fun usually. And it just had like a negative tone. And I think that we were promised this woman who was a little bit older, that had never settled. And that's not really what we got. And I felt bad that was displayed on television because it wasn't a good look.

[00:43:27]

You know, it was disappointing. Yeah. And I feel like we were seeing her therapy sessions like that. I'm sorry. Also that one day with that guy where he, like, bared his soul, that she just, like, didn't become like that guy. What Jared Freed's recap was like this guy admitted that his parents don't love each other and now he just has to go home to that like he's like five interpretation. Yes. Those dates were very deep and odd.

[00:43:49]

And I was like, can we get some, like, light, sexy stuff? We've been through enough. It's twenty twenty. But that was just one part of it. But yeah, I love that you said that like it was just we didn't exactly get what they, what they probably thought we were going to honestly. Yeah. You were probably like what the fuck.

[00:44:04]

I she acted like I didn't know half the guys on the show. I don't know by the time they got to the end, like I was just like, who are these people, the only people I knew or the people that she interviewed to say, what did they say about me? I know. But I will say that I can respect them actually falling in love and like not in her just being like, fuck all these other guys. I'm not saying that that wouldn't happen like love.

[00:44:25]

A really crazy, powerful thing, so in terms of her like being, quote unquote, disrespectful and not wanting to spend time with other guys, if I can get it, you know what I mean? If she actually fell in true love with this person, I get it. But it was a lot. It was a lot. And it seemed that she. OK, here's what I thought was going to happen. I thought that, like.

[00:44:42]

I thought I heard Dale, we're going to have a discussion like, listen, I fully accept that, like on The Bachelor, people really do fall in love. I do think they do. There's plenty of couples that have fallen in love, got married off the boat load of kids. I fully accept that can happen in two months. I know people are like, well, they're on this vacation. It's amazing. Some people really do fall in love.

[00:44:59]

A specific type of people go on television to be, you know, like there. I think that they're compatible. I understand the proposals, the end. I understand people meet your family as you travel together. You fucked a bunch. I get it this season. I just I just expected them to be like, we know you guys have known each other for five days, so, like, there's no need to do this proposal thing. I thought there'd be like some discussion between, like Dale and Claire where they were like wink, wink, nudge, nudge, like we're not going to really get engaged.

[00:45:29]

Like, it's not a normal thing to like, you know how hard it is to do it. You are weak. I am with you. I got to say, I did not know a proposal was happening. I had no idea you were going to be like you two can leave the show together. I oh, that's all I thought was happening. I thought you guys ride off into the sunset, start your life together. When he called Neil Lane, I was like, what the fuck is happening?

[00:45:53]

I, I guess obviously makes sense. That's what The Bachelor is all about. Like, of course, they're going to hit you with that. But I was sure I did not know.

[00:46:02]

And she seemed to know Aaron's name. She seemed to fully buy into it. She's crying. She's shaking. She meant that she's in it and she she's down. Looks at her is like, I guess we're doing it. I guess I'm going to do it. And then I have never seen a more lackluster I don't give a shit about this. And she's like, you're stuck with me forever. And he's like, how long until this filming?

[00:46:25]

She's like, oh, look, when she said that, I was like, oh my God. She's like, how good is this ring? Look, it's like, tell us. Like we fucked for the first time yesterday for five days. Can we, like, maybe go to lunch together? Like it was very odd and lackluster. I know. And I again, like if they are super in love, like we we love deal, we support him like this.

[00:46:46]

If this is a true, you know, love at first sight, love story. Great. Go off like I'm not ever going to shit on that because that's a beautiful thing. I just you know, the point of the engagement is I'm going to shut this down in two seconds. I promise. I just I don't know what the point was. I don't think America would have revolted if they were like, we're just going to leave the show.

[00:47:01]

Like, I don't think that the expectation of these two was going in. I, by the way. But I do feel like like what's ratings, you know what I mean? Like, they had to they were like, this is the show you you going to leave here, we're going to let you leave. You're going to Neilly is going to get involved. McNeill's like, are you going to see you? I'm going to see if you don't do it.

[00:47:16]

I believe as far as I you know, I met somebody this year who I like Matt day one. And I was like, that's my person. I'm going to marry him. But then you date that person and then you realize, oh, I'm not going to marry that person. Like, you know, like I got to know his personal more. I was like, oh, you have mental issues. We're not going to get married. Yeah, yeah.

[00:47:32]

I mean, we could do a Hopsin in love at first sight you can love at first sight is a coincidence. Love at first sight is like a feeling you feel about something, then it actually happens. You are compatible. You know, maybe I don't know. It works out sometimes but yeah I just, I was bothered by seeing a woman that I feel like has a lot of work to do on herself before she gets married, you know what I mean?

[00:47:55]

And, you know, I'm sure a lot of people are like, what do you expect? She's sporty, like, whatever. All I'm saying is what I'm seeing from the words coming out of her mouth were like, yikes, you know, like you want this man to complete you and fix you. That's the message, right? Yeah. And also, I don't know, someone messaged me and they're like, I'm getting a trauma bond between the two of them, which is not a bad thing.

[00:48:16]

In a negative thing. They were bonding over losing their parents. That brings you close together. One of my very best friends, she bonded very quickly with her husband. They actually got married very quick. They both lost their dads like you bond over trauma. We could do an episode on this as well, like they had that, too. But let's just hope that those things that did bond them aren't, aren't it? And they actually are a good couple if they're going to be out here engaged.

[00:48:39]

Hmm. Nobody. You don't have to get married. You know, I just kind of hope that there could be like, okay, we're going to date I girl, I got to tell you, I tell I guess it was like they're just going to leave, like they are going to leave and Altisource is going to come in, like. So I was like, we get an hour of this and I'll tell it like it was a whole proposal.

[00:48:59]

I was like, what? Also what have you got proposed to like in the courtyard to look into girl those beams or fire? It's like every girl's dream proposal and it's looking to I didn't see those. OK, this is a totally independent thought. That's hysterical. Oh, you didn't know? I didn't see any of that. That's hysterical. I love that you had that thought. It's the fact that this all was it looks like she's just outside her like one bedroom suite.

[00:49:26]

OK, it's like it does you like.

[00:49:34]

Oh, I wish we had some intel for you guys.

[00:49:36]

So for explaining that to me, it's time for another break to talk about our partners. We talked about The Bachelorette for too too long. Sorry, but not sorry. Don't sleep on the ads, guy. Don't sleep in the ads.

No contact delivered to your doorstep for easy home cooking and you get recipe cards with the food that you need to make these delicious meals.

[00:50:21]

For example, I get three meals a week for two people. So if I cook for a friend or for a date or whatever, that's the meal. If not, I'll cook it and I'll have the rest for leftovers the next day. I love it so much. It's changed my life. I can't like it's just it's fresher, higher quality food. I feel so much better after I eat a healthier, fresh meal that I've cooked in, like getting takeout or eating out at a restaurant.

And they offer more than twenty chef crap to delicious options every week to help you break out of your right.

And the sesame beef tacos, which I guess I'm going to make right now tonight after we finish. So I love all the meals so much. I love the pasta as I love the tacos. I love the rice bowls. You really get great portion sizes on those and so many vegetarian options. I don't eat a lot of pork, but I'll do like chicken and stuff like that and then beef every once in a while.

I'm doing on this week. I'm due for my period to finalize and get fucked up. I'm on an air mattress. Wait, what? I was I was an air mattress and he didn't have any furniture yet.

Everyday tomorrow you date tomorrow I say one more time allegedly. And if any of you were following along during my election coverage, interspersed in there was a exchange with somebody on Hinge, which I usually don't post that stuff.

[00:56:01]

I never do. It actually felt pretty natural for me to be posting messages anonymously, of course, but I didn't know that I was going to end up going out with this guy. It typically doesn't work out. It was a crazy week, but he was so funny. We were having this hot banter and a lot of it was election related and be whole related. It was very brand. I want you guys to see it. I want to lift your spirits.

[00:56:16]

And it did. A lot of you guys got invested and we have a date tomorrow, allegedly. I say that in that he could cancel. You never know. So we've been talking still like we're on text and we have a date tomorrow. I may or may not keep you guys posted. That being said, I have an update from another guy I talked about that I never gave an update on. And I have an update as of like last night.

[00:56:38]

But I want to hear it happened to you. I had a whole day. I, like, disappeared into a drunk fog with this guy. And I'm so excited by and I'm going to tell you guys about your wives. They know we're going to update you guys if you haven't been following along for two years. I've been my neighbor for two years. And just like an update on where we stand now, the two year long relationship, March twenty twenty is two years, March twenty twenty one.

[00:57:05]

Well, we'll get to it. And if you got twenty one, you don't remember the latest with him. And I, we actually tried to like repurpose each other into like a relationship at the beginning of a pandemic because like I couldn't see anybody else. We spent like a month together and then I decided that we didn't really I didn't really enjoy each other's company. And then I told him that I was going back to Pittsburgh to quarantine and I just never went back.

[00:57:24]

He lifts his shirt. He's actually in areolas directly above me.

[00:57:29]

So he knows when I'm home. So that's the latest from him. I haven't seen him for months.

[00:57:37]

And I ran into the elevator last week, which I told you guys about. So that's that's where him and I stand up until now. He looked bad. He didn't look good, look good yesterday, you know, judging you. But OK, well, yesterday he had a blow up. In a week he did. I don't know what happened. He shaved anybody clothing. So yesterday I saw him. I go up to the room. I'm like, God damn it, he's here.

[00:57:56]

But like, I'm like, OK, listen, I'm going to fuck on Biden day. It's Biden day. Like, I'm just going to do it. I tried. I was ready to fuck a stranger. OK, well, I tried to fuck my neighbor and I go up, I see him, he looks cute. He's got like a cute bandana on you. Glasses. We're drinking. I'm kind of drunk. He's like, do you want to take a walk with Washington Square Park?

[00:58:13]

And I'm like, he looks really cute. OK, so I go change. I put to make a bond. And I don't know if you guys know this or if I talk about this. I have talked a little in the past. I've never been to his apartment. It's been two years. I've never been in there before. So I'm feeling bold, you know, so like I were in my place and he has a beer. I was like, oh, shit, I want I got beer too.

[00:58:30]

And he's like, I'll get you some from the apartment. I was like, I'll just come. So I saw his apartment yesterday for the first time before you set out. Right before we set out into the world. I wanted to get some beers to just walk around when I saw his apartment. So what is it? It was just a lot of surfboards. It was like a thousand surfboard, surfboard and and guitars.

[00:58:50]

And it was messy and like, what was this couch like there? It was just a leather, big, dark leather couch, like a man couch. I cannot overstate. It wasn't a futon. No, I can't overstate the amount of surfboards. They're talking about the amount of surfboards in a Manhattan apartment, a bunch of surfboards. Why do you need more than two? What are you talking about? So is he do it or does he run a surf shop out of there?

[00:59:17]

He's like a surfer. That's he likes to do need that money, I guess. I don't know. Surfing works. I don't know. I don't like it. I do yoga. I have one. Matt, I have to I don't know, four different climates. So we we go to his apartment. I see as part of the first I'm like, oh my God. Like, we're we're doing it. And we went down, we took a walk.

[00:59:36]

I'm like this like drunk. Hey, is this guy or like dancing through the streets itself. And we go to Washington Square Park. I like. Make him do the meet and greet with all the girls that keep running up your eyes like he's taking the photos of, like me and all of our fans. Oh, my God, he looks so cute. He's such a fun day. And he was like, I'm going to go meet my friends.

[00:59:51]

Do you want to come with me? I'm meeting my friends in the West Village with his business partner. Was coming a bunch of his other friends. We got to the West Village. We're like, hang on in this bar with a big group of people. One of our other neighbors comes maybe like eight of us is really fun outdoors, drinking beer. I've ordered a ton of drinks on this tab, a ton of alcohol on his tab, food, whatever.

[01:00:09]

Our neighbor comes, she sits with me. I'm starting to talk to her. I'm thinking like this day is going so great, I'm going to get laid. At the end of the day, this girl comes up, she walks up to the table and she just sits down on his lap. And I was like, I look at my neighbor. I'm like, Who, that girl? And she goes, Oh, that's his girlfriend. No.

[01:00:25]

Yeah. What but what do you mean it's his girlfriend I spent the whole day with, and by the way, he looked like it was fingering me in the street, do anything wrong? Like he's perfectly welcome to spend time with somebody's girlfriend, girlfriend, spend time with somebody who's he fucked for two years, OK? Yeah. So she's like, oh yeah. They've been together for a few months. They're leaving town together for two more months. Tomorrow's they're like serious enough.

[01:00:52]

They're taking a two month trip tomorrow together and this girl is sitting on his lap and I without even skipping a beat, just look at her and go, I have to meet up with Ashley. And I picked up my phone and just walked away. I walked away from eight people. All that you did. I didn't offer one dollar. I left all my food on the table. I just laughed. And guys, she didn't even meet up with me.

[01:01:16]

I tell you, I wanted to see you yesterday. I want to see you, too. I was like, am I mad about this? Can I remember? This was like I feel like this is his way of getting back at me for telling him doing a pandemic that I was leaving town to quarantine. And just now you've done a lot to hurt his ego. I deserved it. You said fuck me like you mean it. Not in a sexy way.

[01:01:35]

You know, I meant that you suck a Delonas, but with. No, I mean, you've done it right now. You deserve you have this coming. He's been waiting for this moment for years. He was like, oh, fuck, with this girl all day.

[01:01:44]

I'm the girl juiced up. I'm going to look like a human being for once when I look all hot and a whole and introduce her to all my friends that my business partner and then my girlfriend's going to show up and sit on my lap in front. That is nuts. One foot away from she pretty. I didn't even look at her in the face, just like I got a guy I literally saw, like a cute little like blond hair girl sit down on his lap.

[01:02:04]

My neighbor goes, that's his girlfriend. And I just got up and left. This is bananas. I was so excited. See you. Were there other prospects with him? You said there was like a like a cute guy or that was like his business partner. So you're not like that is like partner now? I am, yeah. Now, you know, I'm going to definitely fuck his business partner. Yeah. I was hot.

[01:02:22]

It was shocking. It was one of those moments. It does doesn't hit you. How shocking it is until it's over. Like I this morning I was like, that's crazy, right. Like there was one stool in between me and him and and his girlfriend was on his lap. So that was fucking crazy. He got me back. Oh my God. I was very excited to tell you. Thank you for sharing with me and our listeners. You're right.

[01:02:43]

I deserve that. You did. You did. She deserved it. I wouldn't do it to him. That was pretty fucked up. Thank you. Spent the whole day with me and not mention that she's coming. It's really it's you just it's you get blindsided, like not necessarily in this really malicious way, but like, what the fuck? I mean, I couldn't care less. I'm not into him. I just thought, like, I was going to L.A. and you should have give me a heads up that I wasn't really like I'm in this apartment with all these fucking weird surfboards, like I'm trying to fuck.

[01:03:08]

So that was my dad. OK, here's what happened to me. OK, I don't know anything about this. OK, guys. So let's go back to early September, maybe late August, when I went on my first date, like out of quarantine, I met this guy on Hinge and I had this crazy date experience with this server spraying a bottle of Rosewater in my face, whatever. I mean, this guy made out in the street.

[01:03:33]

I was looking forward to going out with him again. And that's I think all you guys know. And then I was saving the updates because we were talking about them at the live shows and I didn't want to spoil them. And I'm not going to talk about Marcus actually don't care anymore, but I do have a new update. So but just the stuff that that in between what happened recently is that and the date was that after the date we were keeping in touch, everything was really falling into place like the next I mean, I wasn't like, this is my guy, but I was like, this will be fun.

[01:03:57]

You know, I would definitely, like, fuck this guy and go out with him again, whatever. And so the next morning after we'd like had this great date in the street make out, he was like had such a fun time last night. What are you up to this weekend? And, you know, I would love to see you again, kind of stuff. And then it just turned to this thing where every day for like a week he was like checking in with me, like, what are you doing today?

[01:04:15]

It was so boring. It wasn't good banter. He wasn't sending me Meems or anything. It was just like, what are you up to today?

[01:04:20]

I can see you like the chicken sandwich. I yeah. And I just feel like I, I guess I could have asked him out. I just wasn't feeling it. I was like, I think I wanted to put a little more effort, you know, like so I just finally got annoyed, like I was just like whatever a week or so and by week and a half and I'm sitting at a girlfriend's house and I get a text from him on like a Saturday night.

[01:04:43]

And it was, do you want to get a drink again? Do you wanna go out again? Like you asked me out again and I hadn't heard this from this guy in days. It'd been probably like a week or a week and a half since our one first date. But I was like, sure, you know, I don't know anything about this guy.

[01:04:57]

He doesn't really owe me anything. He could he could be dating multiple people. Who cares? I had a good time with him. I'm attracted to him. We had a good conversation. We too hot make out. I'll go out with him again. No big deal. You know, of course, I had to, like, fuck with him a little. And I responded, who was this? And he was like, I don't know if you're kidding or not.

[01:05:10]

And I was just like, please give me your information. You know, like it was I just talked to them a little bit. And then what happened next was that he just did the same shit and he just he never followed through. It was like three more days of what are you doing today? What are you doing? And this was right when I went to Delaware to see to see some family. So finally, I. I was over it and I said to him after, like three days post, do you want to go out again?

[01:05:34]

I said, I'm in Delaware with family. I'll be back in a couple of days. Let me know if you want to grab that drink or you can just text me forever with, like, a smiley face, like just like I said, like I kind of made a little bit of a dig. Let him know, like you're on notice. This is annoying. But smiley face, I still want to see you and never heard from him again.

[01:05:53]

Listen, I encourage and empower anybody to do that because it's annoying. It's annoying for somebody to ask you out, spend some time with you and then just pen pal, you do that. And I think that there's a nice non I'm really mad at you way to do it. It's like that, you know, I think that it's normal to shut it down. I don't need to just talk to you all the time, especially with not having fun banter.

[01:06:10]

Right. That's what I'm saying. Like I told you, yes, I think a week can fly by if we're bantering like it wasn't it wasn't that I was getting annoyed at our communication. Also, the whole like, challenging a guy to pull the trigger on asking you out with a little bit of that snark with a smiley face works. I did it that same week with someone else and we went on a date and even talked about that date.

[01:06:28]

He was kind of pussyfooting around and making vague comments about wanting to meet up and annoy you guys that shut down. I finally was like, are you just going to, like, make these big comments? Are we going to actually go out? And we went out. So, I mean, it works is what I'm saying. Like, it didn't work with this guy and I don't fucking care. He wasn't asking me out. This was in September.

[01:06:44]

I think that was like now at this point, I think it was like September twenty. First was that last I look back last night, that was that last thing where I was like, hey, let's go out. Nothing, nothing. And I don't think there's anything, by the way, girls who try this engine work, there's nothing to be embarrassed of. You should shut this down and somebody is like, fuck you after that. And by no, it's like entertainer lame ass taxand you did that.

[01:07:06]

I'm good enough to go out again by I did roast you. I didn't emasculate you. I gave you a winky face. I made it clear I want to see you again to done and done. Never heard from again last night at two thirty in the morning. No I get a text from him. I'm on Instagram stories like doing my doing my thing. So it came through and it took me a minute to like finish doing something till I could look sure.

[01:07:30]

I thought he knows I am a Biden supporter, a liberal person. He we've had a crazy day in New York. He's going to say, like, what a crazy day. You know, I hope I'm sure you're celebrating, right? Yeah.

[01:07:43]

His text was about how Notre Dame had beaten Clemson. He went to Notre Dame, I went to Clemson. They went to double overtime last night and Clemson lost. Clemson lost a huge winning streak. Our quarterback has covid he couldn't play. And Clemson to play Notre Dame and lose in double overtime was heartbreaking. I am jaw on the floor. Canopied text me as in good game. He texted me.

[01:08:12]

We beat you guys what's right up? And then he goes, Sorry, you're the only Clemson person I know. That's what it's like when people like randomly text me about Steelers games. It's like I don't play for the Steelers. This is our only connection to each other. It's not that deep for me. I don't need to hear from you about this. We lost exactly in a really shitty way, like we lost because of covid. Right? We lost because Trevor Lawrence and we lost to this team like in double overtime.

[01:08:46]

And there's like, of course, I mean, you have to eventually lose. But Clemson's you know, Clemson's No. One, like, they'll probably still come out on top, like, once Trevor recovers, but like, are you dude, are you kidding me? I'm sure to bring it to thirty, thirty five. By the way, there was nothing else you could think of to talk to you about yesterday. Not one thing. He was like, that's the thing.

[01:09:06]

I'm going to land on two thirty in the morning just right on crack and no, no fuck, no way to respond. What was going on in his mind this morning when he woke up? Like, do you think he looked at his phone? It was like, I can't believe all the things I could talk to. I have, like, at least try to get some pussy. I can't.

[01:09:26]

We're talking about football guys. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of the world. I don't even care, but it would have made so much more sense if they had gone into double overtime and Clemson had still won and he would have been like, God, what a hard loss. But like the fact that he came in two months after it was like that. You in the morning to Naghmeh at two twenty in the morning on the best day ever, on the best day of twenty twenty.

[01:09:52]

He ruined my day. I'm going to slide it and ruin it at the last possible moment. Oh she's on Instagram stories. She's up time to. Yeah.

[01:10:03]

I don't even know if he's on Instagram but yeah he could have seen me just like posting a way. I was like I'm about to hit her up. What a little kind. Like it was even like sorry about your loss. It was like just a reminder that Notre Dame beat you guys. Anyway, you're the only person I know to say this to. I don't know. Why don't you talk to your Notre Dame friends? Why don't you want an online message board?

[01:10:21]

OK, strangers would be better go and read it. I your shit. Also, the funny part is that this guy didn't cry. My mind once, as I was watching Clemson get beat by Notre Dame, I forgotten completely that I'd even gone out with a guy that went to Notre Dame in the last couple of months, like he didn't cross my mind one time. In the words of Taylor Swift, I forgot that you existed and he's over here.

[01:10:45]

I guess he thought about me during the game and hit me up at 2:00 a.m. That is. I'm so glad you told me. I'm glad you didn't tell me until right now. I am sure. Anyway, so high hopes for this dude tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. But I'm glad you realize that because I want to talk about dating right now and what it's been like, because this is this sort of new normal. It's this cold world where dating outside the weather changing.

[01:11:08]

It's just it's different. You know, we're showing up as different people. And I've been thinking a lot about, like, shooting your shot because some girls have. I'd like an hour. You know, I'm worried about going on dates. I don't know what I'm going to talk about. I don't I'm not super proud of what I've been doing lately. And, you know, it's all this like negativity in the world and things are so heavily charged.

[01:11:25]

But I feel like it's the opposite of, like, feeling bad, you know, everything going on. It's like no one has anything going on. No one spent the summer in Europe. No one has been promoted at their jobs. No one's like killing it in the world. I feel like the playing field is kind of leveled right now. And we've all gotten a little more humble. We've all had to realize what really matters and what's important.

[01:11:47]

And we are taking more risks to be out with people and having to get more creative to go on a date. And I think that it's like kind of an exciting time and like, what better time to shoot your shot when, like, no one has a ton of stuff going on and people really are looking for human connection now. Absolutely.

[01:12:03]

And if you don't feel comfortable dating, then then don't, you know, like, I do feel comfortable going an app and going out for a drink. Like if you want to meet somebody, you want to go sit in the park six feet away wearing masks. That's fine to your date at your comfort level. Want to get that out of the way to start? I think people have felt stressed and anxious and uncertain and sad and all the bad things the whole last just eight months at this point, seven months since March.

[01:12:29]

And there is a renewed sense of optimism for a lot of people right now, for most New York based on the election and kind of like that, we're we feel like we have this fresh start. We're on this new path. So I feel like this could encourage people to date more like you're feeling better, you're feeling lighter. You don't have this election hanging over your head, like you're ready to get back out there and ready to get back out there and date people that share your beliefs, too.

[01:12:50]

We're sleeping again. We're all getting a full eight or in your case, a full five. Yeah, still four, five, you know, like. And so I'm excited. We had a lot of great information last week on Nina Parker's episode in terms of talking to people and your your promise in your opening lines and things like that. And again, just like shoot your shot. Twenty, twenty, like it's go time. Let's fucking go like to shoot your shot, get out there on the apps.

[01:13:10]

I tell Rain all the time, like I'm going to take control of her apps and just start swiping. But she's doing fine again. She can't stress enough. She got laid just a few weeks ago and he was six five. OK, so we are safe. We did a huge style and he's huge and he actually got his dick touched you from six feet away. That's how big it was, your distance distance. So I just think get out there, shoot your shot.

[01:13:33]

My thing is, I love what you said about like we don't have a lot going on. I think more than ever, it's so easy to figure out what to talk about because we've all been in this crazy world for twenty twenty and now we can add the election on top of it, like were you John King or Steve Kornacki or were you watching Fox News? Like what? You know, what was your election coverage like or like I like to ask, like, what was what did you do in March, mid-March?

[01:13:55]

Like, what did you in March 13th like? That was the last time I was like out, you know, like, did you stay in the city? Did you go to see family? You know, where do you quarantine? What was your life like? Like, again, this could get dark, I guess, if someone has experienced a loss. But like, we all had this shared experience that was a lot of ups and downs.

[01:14:12]

And that's the first thing I'm asking on a date. And I will say, I think people tend to shy away from dating around the holidays because you're going to have to have conversations about like whose parents do we go to? What about our time when you can use the excuse of my parents don't feel comfortable with you being in the house so you don't have to worry about going out with you over the holidays. Yeah. And if you don't want to spend the holidays with your family because you no longer like them, it's like then just to spend it with your new man or your new woman.

[01:14:41]

So I think there's a renewed sense of of optimism. And that's kind of that's kind of where we're just encouraging you guys to get out there safely at your comfort level. Yeah. And you have plenty to talk about it. There's a shit ton of shit to talk about. OK, and then just speaking of the holidays, I think that we would be remiss to not at least just talk about going on holidays for one second, though. We're gonna do a fun game.

[01:15:02]

But I'm I know that a lot of people this election really divided them. And even in my own family, I have family members that had disagreements about how they felt. And it's not just like, you know, just ignore it. It's not a big deal. Like, it's really hard. For example, it's just not my experience. But as a female to sit across from your father at the Thanksgiving table and know that he voted against your rights.

[01:15:23]

And I don't think that there's an easy way to deal with that. I'm not going to just, like, pretend this didn't happen. Or, you know, that I find with my dad once again on talking about my father, but I think it's really tough and I think that it's presented a lot of problems for some people. So I would love if you have some good advice. I mean, yeah. And I just really want to say I've gotten messages like this from some of our our listeners, my followers and my friends that have to deal with this.

[01:15:48]

And my heart like hurts for you. And my heart goes out for you and you have my full support and sympathy. I want to deal with this with my family. You know, I've had friends here and there, and I've broken off friendships for sure, like over this stuff. Like I'm just like I cannot be your friend with the way that you view the world in the way that you think. So that's your prerogative. I've done it.

[01:16:06]

I've cut people out of my life. Family's different immediate family is very different. I mean, we have our chosen family, but there's these are people are still our blood. And I don't have to deal with this. I feel for anybody that does. I wish the Heseltine's could welcome you into our home for the holidays and you kind of tenten can't recommend going to Hasseltine for the holidays. So it's just like I've never had to really do it.

[01:16:25]

And we tell you guys to have these tough conversations. But I also can't tell you that I did it with a family member, you know what I mean? Because I haven't really had to. And I have so many friends that have, you know, I have friends that their families are from the south and I'm on group chats with a lot, especially from the election of like a good friend or she's like, my dad's like pissed and it's like a thing.

[01:16:45]

And I have one friend that's really separated from her father completely over a lot of the stuff. And it's it's really tough. It the fact that families to be torn apart because of this really sucks. And that's why I feel like I want everyone to just come together. But in the meantime, I mean, I was asking on one of my group chats last night with like my like group of like seven friends are all just so brilliant. And I was just a lot of them adult with this.

[01:17:06]

And I was like, do you guys have advice for this? And I have some advice too. But I wanted to ask around. My friend Emily was just so brilliant. She said she she mentioned this woman. She said Dolly Chugh age might be an amazing podcast. Guess she's an NYU professor who wrote this book called The Person You Mean to Be. So check that out, guys, if you're interested. Again, there's people that speak on this better than we ever could.

[01:17:27]

And she said her philosophy is asking people literally if they're willing to hear your perspective or what you've seen and learn. If they engage in that great, they're worth your energy engaging. If they don't engage that, you can at least signal to vulnerable parties, if present, that you won't be a party to whatever offensive or untrue thing they're spouting. So you can either be in dialogue or at minimum be a boundary setter to unacceptable behavior, she says.

[01:17:49]

We have to meet people we love in our love state. We can't bring people forward if we shame or shut down or argue, but we can also just straight set boundaries and refuse to tolerate offensive or violent or oppressive behavior and then keep our integrity in a relationship. And she's like, of course, all this is easier said than done. But listen, there are family members that you can be like, hey, I just want to sit down and can we, like, watch this documentary?

[01:18:10]

Can we watch the thirteenth? Can we read some stuff together? Can you see where I'm coming from? Sometimes they won't engage at all. Sometimes people have a literal set of alternative facts from you. They are watching different news. They're consuming different things. We talked this before. They are refusing to. And I think that's when you have to set those boundaries and hope they come around and you can't just bang your head against the wall. She was like, I have a friend whose family has logit been torn apart.

[01:18:31]

You know, there are also unkind, unsupportive people. And that's why we have our chosen families to, like, keep jumped. And it was like chosen family for the win. Like it was just like a moment, like it just was a good conversation about the struggles of family and politics. So those are some tips from some of my other friends. And my piece of advice is the support group of people that feel the same as you. So, I mean, obviously, we're in this group chat.

[01:18:58]

I have a few like this. We're all supporting each other. People have these crazy parents and find those people that are dealing with what you're dealing with at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Find those people that share your belief system, that have families that don't that are really struggling with this and make sure you text your texting with them, check in with them, have those sounding boards and those people to vent to and to feel your pain in every area of life.

[01:19:19]

You know what I mean? Like, the support is so important. So reach out to those people to have a pep talk with each other before you go home. You know, if you need to get up and leave the Thanksgiving table and I say I can't engage in this anymore. This is not healthy for me. And you need to leave and you need to go take a walk in the woods and talk to them, you know, or go scream or whatever it is like the support system, I think is important.

[01:19:37]

Yeah. And I think that you guys should all feel empowered to set boundaries. You're adults. And I think that it is realistic to say to somebody, you might not agree with me, but I think that you love me and you think I'm a rational person. And so please respect that. I don't want to talk about this, if that's where we're at. If we can't even discuss this, if you're past the point of watching the documentary or having the constructive criticism, because I think that we've had those conversations at this point and you don't have to go home.

[01:20:00]

You don't have to do that. You don't have to be around it. And you are well within your right to say, these are my boundaries and I don't want to talk about this stuff. And there's nothing wrong or overly emotional or sensitive about that. There's only so many times you can say that to somebody. You can't control somebody else's reactions. You can only control your own behavior. So that is what you're in control of. So feel empowered to not or to ask for silence at this time.

[01:20:21]

Yeah. And I mean, if you really want to get into it with them, I think a helpful question is how do you think your life is going to change? Right. A lot of people just say it's money, it's taxes, most people are not going to be affected that much. I don't wanna pay more taxes. We pay a shit ton in taxes. I don't wanna pay any more. I'm still going to over Biden, you know what I mean?

[01:20:39]

So, like that being said, I know a lot of people are money focused. That's all they care about. They care about their money. They care about their portfolio. OK, that's how your dad feels. You know, that's how he feels. But I think a good thing is like, what do you think exactly is going to change? Because were you doing fine during eight years of Obama? Like, what are you so scared of?

[01:20:58]

I just feel like they've been ingesting a lot of this propaganda. And it's like we've had Democratic presidents so much like how why was your life so bad? What are you scared of? You know, and not saying it in an accusatory tone, but also trying to hear where they're coming from, because you might get a perspective that you didn't know, in which case you have more knowledge and knowledge is power and the approach is important. You know, I people come at me in the craziest ways, in my dreams, attacking me, cursing me out, putting words in my mouth.

[01:21:30]

I'm never going to listen. That's not how you get through to somebody. And I also have people that that come at me with an opposing viewpoint and tell me where they're coming from. And we have productive conversations. It happens. You know, I've had people come to me and be like, I see you posting about defunding the police. My husband is a cop and he is someone that hates to see what's happening in this country with police brutality and the disproportionate killing of black people.

[01:21:55]

But I am worried about his safety when he goes to work every day because I feel like he has a target on his back. And we had a conversation about it. On the flip side, having conversations with a friend that's black about how they're fearing for their lives like these things are. A lot of it's rooted in fear and we can often understand people a little bit better if we know what their fears are. And like I said, the approach is key.

[01:22:23]

So that is going to wrap this up.

[01:22:26]

We're going to move on. So thanks, guys, for being here. We were really fun game and the Spirit of Things turning it around. Yes. Ah, the spirit of Pennsylvania and Georgia that took a turn at. Thank you so much, Allegheny County. No one had even heard that name before, but that's where I grew up. Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, which is a very county in Georgia, a very blue collar town. It's a steel town.

[01:22:50]

It's not a place that you would expect to go Democratic as a result of the election here and whatever. I just you know, I'm proud to be from Pennsylvania. Yeah. Same with spending ten years in Georgia, in Fulton County, Georgia, went blue. And I didn't know that was my sexual fantasy until this election cycle. So and shout to Stacey Abrams again, person the week. OK, we're getting into it. I'm I'm doing well, I call it.

[01:23:12]

That took a turn. I think this took a turn, which is labeled as in our email, I know what it's called. I'll write whatever I call the secretary. And you say that took a turn. Either way, we're about to take potato. Yes. OK, so these are our listeners email submissions of situations, mostly dating, tax related that took a turn. Do you want to kick it off? Yes, I do. OK, I got on a first date with this guy and it went pretty well.

[01:23:40]

Later that week, he invited me over to his place, rumaki out and things were getting pretty steamy when he suddenly stops and says, Oh, by the way, I'm a communist. What saved his head dipped shortly after the communist. Not socialist. Not anarchist. Communist like like what is it? Where did Russia. OK, I don't it's just it's a weird thing to start. I think she misheard him. Oh, by the way, where he likes.

[01:24:08]

Is there a world where he didn't say that. Oh by the way, I'm going to come in. This is the sort of girl, you know, I don't know. But that's her guitar. I think you misheard them. OK, one night I was sleeping with this guy and I was on top doing what I do best and I like to be choked. He started to choke me. And next thing I know, he's squeezing so hard that I think I'm going to black out or die.

[01:24:31]

OK, we need a safe word here. We need a safe word. He stops eventually and suggests we do sixty nine. So I'm like, OK, this will be better than him choking me out. Nope. He starts out with me on top, then he flips us over where he is on top of me and I'm getting his balls slapping me in the face the entire time. I kept wishing it was over the whole time because well that took a turn.

[01:24:51]

All right. That guy wants to fuck a dead person. That's what that guy's fetishes. He is a necrophiliac. Who do we talk about with sixty nine? The guy on top. On top.

[01:25:00]

I don't know who is out here already that the more I think about it I would never. A guy's just on top. How do you break it. How do you get any range of motion. There's ball sack on your head. There's a huge gut on your forehead. Oh I don't understand how anybody does this.

[01:25:16]

No, absolutely not. OK, I was seeing a guy for like six months or so and things seem to be going pretty well. We would hang out and go on dates regularly. Sex was great. He loved hanging out, my friends and I loved hanging out his etc.. OK, that's going great. We haven't really talked about where we stood in regards to how serious this was, but we are literally always together, so I didn't think much of it.

[01:25:34]

One day when he was over, he says to me, I really want to ask your roommate out to dinner while we were having sex and say, I am sure I didn't read this one. Just fucking why was the first U.S.. I like to surprise myself. This man was literally inside of me and had the audacity to tell me he wants to date my roommate. I was so blown away, I literally just stared at him and he continues to say, I'm sorry.

[01:25:57]

That was just bad timing. But I just I think she's so cute and I would love to go out with her one. After telling him to leave, I obviously told my roommate who proceeded to throw a drink on him the next time we saw him at a bar. This is so shocking. I almost don't believe it, but I believe it is true or false so far in the realm of light, because I just think, like, men are fucking crazy.

[01:26:17]

Maybe this guy is just like, oh, she's so cool and casual about things. She never asked me what we are. So we're nothing. I can't comprehend this. I've never in my life heard of this. You are penetrating someone.

[01:26:27]

You ask if you can take their friend, their best friend, their roommate, our traditional if we are in the drive thru a McDonald's. I don't want this from you. What are you talking about? My roommate.

[01:26:36]

I can't get over that one. True or false, but we're just going to you know, you're not going to believe it. OK, next email. I brought home this guy from a bar pre covid. We're hooking up, fooling around goes down on me. And Celine was going all good. When everything was said and done. He looked up at me and said I reminded him of his friend. Weird. But all right. I said, as long as it's a good thing.

[01:26:56]

He started to bawl his eyes out and told me his friend was dead, I, I asked him how long ago this happened, thinking it was maybe recent. He replied with it was over five years ago. This guy went down on me for an hour and then told me I look like his dead friend. I didn't know how to react.

[01:27:14]

He's always uncomfortable as you are. You sobbed while washing his face in the sink, continuing to tell me more about it. I gave him some CBD oil and walked him out of my house. We obviously never hung out again. I love that.

[01:27:26]

She was like, Here, take this. Feels like that she gave him a gift. She's like, please go. OK, listen, I, I'm not laughing because his friend was five years ago. It's an odd thing to bring up and have it be half a decade ago and be crying and my pussy about it. I can understand. Doesn't matter how long ago the friend died, I can understand it being Trigorin. If someone looks just like your friend that passed away, that's a traumatic incident.

[01:27:50]

Don't go down on them. Don't go out with them. If that's going to be triggering to you, why are you trying to eat them out? I'm sorry for my insensitivity. No, I'm just saying, like, why did he take it there? He should be like, well, whoa, looks too much like Jennifer. I can't go there, so I'm sorry. Go on. OK, started dating someone, my friend, when it was going really well.

[01:28:12]

Then a couple of months into dating, he started acting really weird and distant. So the next time I saw him in person ask what was going on and he said he had just found out that he'd gotten a previous one night stand pregnant with twins, double babies. Yeah, we actually tried to work through things for a few months. I was being young and dumb for staying with him. I know I don't think you're dumb, but ultimately we broke up because he refused to tell the baby mama that he was dating someone else and he had other responsibilities that he needed to prioritize.

[01:28:39]

So I was dating. Made things entirely too complicated. OK, I found out the ending of the story from our friend after we broke up. He was in the room during the birth and all that jazz and went into full dad mode for these kids afterwards. Honestly, good for him. But not sure you know this. With twins, you can't get a paternity test until after they're born. So paternity test results came back a week later and the twins were not.

[01:29:04]

And I repeat, the fucking twins were not his. There were many more details. This story, obviously. But try to sum it up for you guys. Hope this nightmare was entertaining for you. Hit me up with any questions. That is insane. That sucks for that guy. I can't help.

[01:29:23]

I want to know who's whose twins were those twins. That is not.

[01:29:29]

How do you, like, break up with this girl that you like and you, like, change your whole life and try to like, raise these kids and they that you are not the father father of two kids, not just one, but two I that she wrote, I repeat, the fucking toy, I, I lost it.

[01:29:44]

Best of luck to that family. OK, I was talking to my man who's not my man, about how years ago he hooked up with my best friend who is now my roommate. It was a drunken hook up years before we were even really friends. So it's all good. We were we were casually talking and teasing each other about it when he just slightly slid in. Oh, yeah. And what's even worse is that we're cousins.

[01:30:08]

Well, that's a backwoods banjo playing turn I was not expecting he assured me, he assured me that they really are only like second or third cousins by marriage. So it's not that weird. Right? Right. It's not that weird. Don't bring it up. Why did you even tell me this is crazy that you were cousins? No, it's not even like that.

[01:30:31]

Like it's like not to begin with. I can't live. OK, I'm so excited to read this to you. I can't help it. And I heard there was a call for this. Took a turn. So here we are. I've been hooking up with my best guy friend of 12 years. Looking back, a terrible choice. For four months. Everything was great. We'd had fun nights out with our friends. We got drunk. We crawl up in bed and we talk late into the night.

[01:30:51]

We broke up. I started catching feels and was upfront about it. We decided to remain just friends without complicating or damaging the friendship. What could possibly go wrong? One night he asked me to come over and like a dumb bitch I went were too hard on yourselves. We got pretty cozy and decided to spend the night together. I was getting undressed in his bedroom and upon closing the door I noticed there was a full on vision board of how to get his ex back, plastered the entire door, complete with affirmations on how to win over photo collages of them.

[01:31:29]

And then she writes, Nothing humbles you like an ex-girlfriend vision board when you're a half naked.

[01:31:38]

Oh, can you imagine all of that information about another woman, it is Ben who, first of all, the vision board alone is crazy. I wish she took pictures. How to get her exact vision board is insane if we had a picture. Oh, my gosh, girl, go back, please. Sure. We got the receipt. We found this email like 2004. We started recording. What a jam. Oh, I was so excited about this.

[01:32:07]

My God. Well, we'll end it on this one. It's short and sweet when I thought I had an STD, but turns out I was seven months pregnant. Yeah, that took a turn.

[01:32:15]

Why? It wasn't.

[01:32:19]

What kind of STD makes your stomach expand, makes you gain 50 pounds and your whole body changes. She's like my nipples really quick and acted like, you know, there's like, I don't know, I was pregnant, you know, like your body doesn't necessarily have to look like you're like, I don't know, everybody's different. But changes which what I got to know to what let's let's take weight loss out of it. What STD was it that you thought you had and you turned out to be pregnant?

[01:32:46]

What are what you're throwing up every morning?

[01:32:48]

Your nipples are leaking and she's like, it's herpes because rape because STDs are like something's going on down. There are stuff that doesn't happen when you're pregnant. Those are two different sets of symptoms. One hundred percent symptoms. I mean, pregnancy is a disease. Well, I mean, depends on it. Look, I'm getting kind of been talking without a condom all that time. I all right. Seven months, no judgment, a little bit of judgment.

[01:33:10]

Let a little bit of judgment or not judging work on you, but I hope that you went to some birthing classes near your kids, OK? And I hope, you know, the dad is unlike that girl. I repeat, the twins are not is.

[01:33:24]

All right, guys, that took a turn, looked like the election. Want to again say thank you to John King for everything. Biden here is twenty twenty. We thank you guys. I think everybody that was chatting with me last week, we love all of you guys so much, your submissions, everything. We hope you guys are self caring. And how else can I wrap this up? So I don't know, Claire, Claire entail supplies.
