Episode 20.
. Happy 20th. We're into the roaring 20s. We're almost a legal drinking age. Mm-hmm.
We are, that's wild. We're almost ready for our brains to develop, just to use that developed brain to make bad choices and dating. We're almost there. We can almost rent a car. What else happens after?
I don't like your mid-20s. I think that's when the last big one is like being able to rent a car and then it's all just hoping that you get.
Carded, it's all downhill. from there. You get kicked off your parents health insurance. Oh, yeah, at 26 You got to get your own health insurance.
Daunting. see, I could never relate to that, because my parents didn't have health insurance and we were broke. but people, yes, okay.
I understand. I remember that one and it's all thinking, you know, everything. truly big age right there.
Welcome to, disrespectfully with Katie Maloney and Dana Cathan.
Unapologetically, we're here to do what we want to do spilling the tea, babe, You're gonna see the power of women like disrespectfully. Anyway, how are you? I'm really tired right now. I'm too. Are you tired?
Are you? well, I was so worried about beating you here because something about her soft opening when people never beat me. What do you thought? I'm here before you every day? I'm sorry.
Oh, wait. Wait, Oh, you were worried about beating me, like I was worried about being on time, because you're always on time.
That's what I meant. Like. oh you, you always beat me. That's what I want to say. Sorry, I'm serious with me.
You always beat me. I was about to be like.
You always beat me? that's not a question. you never have to worry about that. Yes, like, where are you hiding when you get here? No, what I mean?
that what I say? so to be fair,
I always. I am here on time to the minute, everyday recording, and then it's always just like a fun journey to see when Katie Gets here, but I'm consistently 15.. Yes. I'd say it's 18, 15 minutes. Yeah, so it's like I come in, I get my coffee, I relax and meditate a little bit, but I I woke up late because I was so tired because I went down a an insane clown posse deep dive last night as.
We all do at night, laying in bed, we're like what's insane clown posse doing?
I wanted to know more about their origin and, just like I really I got, I got fed a girl who is putting on the like.
the Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff people. no, Jigglypuff. No, Jigglypuff are different. Jigglypuff are male.
Is that a hooker? Are they strippers or hookers? I think Jigglypuff are male.
I'm basing this off the Rob Schneider movie. do Spigolo male Jigglypuff, and I feel like he was a hooker, Yeah, or sex worker, I'm sorry, I don't know.
Whatever, Jiggle Juggalos. Oh.
Okay, same clown, posse stanza. Well, and I think, yeah, I think the ladies are jug lets like they. they, they gender them, Which you know, you know, I don't like a CEO, but I like a jug let.
Okay. So what was she to choose putting on the makeup?
Yeah to one of their songs and I realized I hadn't heard a lot of their music before, like I was. It was one of their bigger songs. I'd heard it and she was just like. so I just went into the origins of ICP Gathering, do you know the gathering is? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I had not. and do you want to go? What what it wait?
What is their big song? I can like kind of hear it in my head.
It's um, Leia looked like she was just about to spit a fact about ICP. Do you want to put it? Are you like a? Low-key jug? let for anyone who's doesn't know what insane clown posse is, I'm sure you've at least seen their makeup, and like they're, they're like a hip-hop band that the origins of it, Basically from what I had looked up, were.
One of the founding members had a dream one night about basically this limbo space you go to, and they were all like clowns and it was this scary carnival. and so the whole point of their band is to tell this lore of like, Horror elements and comedy of like, if you get to go to heaven or hell. Oh.
So I didn't know that. Okay, it's known as horror core, horror core. Yeah, what is their song, though? Even like? then I'm looking at the the names of their song, and none of them are like this one.
I feel like I knew right away. So the gathering. what is your understanding of the gathering? because I had never heard of it.
Okay, well, it's been a while since I've done any kind of. are you a juggler? No, no, but it's since I've like. but there was a time, I don't know. I've been there, though, where I've just like, been down, like so I'm like weird, a whole of that, and so there was a time Where I was just like this.
is it? I don't know. I don't want to, I don't want to like, Misinterpret it or me, because I might be also confusing it with something else entirely. Okay, but what is okay? This is fresh on your mind.
So you just have a clear description of it.
Okay, so the gathering is basically where they all they once a year. I don't know if it moves cities or whatever, But they all come together. Yeah, and it's there. it's like their renaissance. fair, if you will.
okay, I have like pro wrestling and beauty pageants and concerts, and obviously so it's like.
Twisted. I thought it was just like. so it's a festival, but I don't know if it was like. they put on the festival or they just like. I don't know if it was like Insane or if it was just they're like.
so I did. so I think them and twisted whatever.
There's one other group that are like the main ones and there's other in that genre, But they had. the things that they listed were so crazy to me I could not. I was on this Tick-tock for an hour like going through, and then I was like my entire algorithms and your algorithm is r.i.p It's your RIP, which goes with the horror core. So I guess that makes sense, but it honestly sounded really cool. However, these people basically what they said is some of the nicest people you've ever met.
But there's also like the stigma around it is. it's like scary trailer trash and the rule is there are no rules. So it's kind of like the purge. but then they do say like personal safety is important. so I'm like I want to go somewhere where there's no rules, as long as, like the one rule is and do not hurt other people.
everyone is Going to be safe and it kind of sounds like that. So I must send it to you last night, but I figured we talk about it today. I want to go. I kind of want to go. where is this gonna take place and when?
let's Google the news, like everyone talks.
About Burning Man and I'm like, yeah, that sounds cool. But like this also sounds cooler.
Imagine next time someone says to you if you're in a Burning Man, you're like, have you ever said the guy? Have you been to the gathering bitch?
Yeah, I feel like I might vibe more with the juggalos than I would with the Burning Man folk, also the makeup I did this year.
For Halloween. that was just funsies was actually jug let coded. Do you remember that? I did it and watched scary movies by my soul with Raleigh at my house.
Let me show you looks like it's June 7th through 9. where am I looking at the right thing? The gathering, the gathering. I don't understand Roman numerals six, eleven. Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
So, if you can see some look, I thought it was like a filter or something. No, this is makeup that I did on myself just for fun. Oh, that's great. And this is basically what the bitches wear. So I was like, okay, I already have the makeup down.
You said it's June. What? 7th of the 9th SoCal.
Insane not me at the gathering, not us at the gathering.
Here's the thing. the 24th gathering of the juggalos will take place August. Oh, what 14th is 17th, Ohio, right? Cuz it. here's the thing.
I was confused because I assumed that it would be there be a bunch of different cities, But it sounds like there's just one. so gathering 2024 dates. Okay, maybe there are more than just one. No, this one says it's in Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, August 14th, the 17th. my one deterrent was that, besides the fact that it's the insane clown posse is.
They mentioned camping and I was like, hmm. See, I won't be doing that, because like, oh.
Well, you know if it's gonna okay, if it's where I think it might be. like Eleanor, you can't like, come and go from there, You like, have to like camp there, cuz that's where they used to have, like lightning and bottle and like anyway. But um, I'm, you know, I'm very interested in the culture. I'm interested in the culture. if you have any stories, if you're a juggalo, juggalette, please write in and please write in and.
Educate because we want to know. well, especially for hometown heroes. I bet they have stories. So, like cuz, like some of the people, they were like interviewing different people and they just were telling their random stories and they just seemed like I don't know like to your point I.
Think there are kind of people. I want to like. I want to know. they're like origin story. They're like gateway, Like how did you get into it?
Well, even after how long even this guy yeah, Like how exactly like she was she. all of her hashtags were like goth, goth, goth, and then it was like the insane clown posse. So that's where I just started clicking from. I should find her and DM her and just be like what happened. People are so fanatical about it.
Like when I got in the for you page, it was fascinating.
They do. people just dabble like. could we dabble or do we have to be like fully? No, I think we have to fully do it.
We might come here dressed as clowns next week, Lay out, depending on what happens. we'll see. lay is gonna go on maternity leave and come back, and we're gonna walk in and be juglets.
Anyway, so I wanted to discuss it with you. live and get your temperature, But I kind of do want to look into it. And if it was a thing that would be like feasible Geographically, I think that's something I would do once in my life.
Yeah, maybe not this year, because that's like very serious and I've got a lot going on right now. But I would like to put up on the list. the short list, maybe. okay, it's on the short list.
I mean, I didn't think we'd start our 20th episode with the insane clown posse, but you never know what you're gonna get.
No deranged chocolate, something else that I saw that you posted, that I wanted to ask you about, because it's something that we all do, That we don't really talk about, but it is something that women do, and I think men might be perplexed about it. But I'm curious if we all share the same experience in this. one Reposted, and she was very much going on like a very. it was a joke mostly, but okay, She was talking about everything showers, But I just started talking about everything, or started thinking about everything showers just in general, because it's not something that we talked about.
But we all know what it is. We all know what it is. all have theirs down pat, but apparently men don't know what an everything shower is.
Yeah, because men barely wash. They've never even washed their ass car. They barely wash their ass. I didn't know they separate.
They didn't know they could get in there. That's why they're like everything shower.
I know I remember like sometimes being like. do you even use like soap when you're in there? Like you're in there for not enough time to like, really get a lather going. No, their soap looks like a tic-tac.
That's like help me. I need you to kill me. That's like an old bar that they then weld to the next bar of soap. They use two bars of soap a year.
It's like the rubber band ball equivalent of soap, and it's just, but also like they have, like their their bottles. It's like the twelve-in-one toothpaste.
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, nail polish remover. They have to make it so simple for men and they still don't even touch that shit and they call it like dude bros.
Yeah, dude bros, clean. Yeah.
Hyper masculinity of the labels of these they don't even want to make. it sound like this is gonna make you clean like Gasoline wash bro. Like this is gonna make you smell like turpentine.
They want it to be easily confused with a bottle of Clorox, if it's very close to a bottle of Clorox. They've done their job. That's what they think.
This is fresh lawn, like you just mowed sweat and fresh cut grass, Like just put, like wash your balls with it. Just admit you want to kiss each other again.
Like you guys go so far into this masculinity, trying to prove. just say you want to kiss and wash your asshole. Yeah, how hard is that?
well, at the end of the day, if you're gonna be smelling like that, you're only gonna be able to kiss each other. because So I understand the confusion of an everything shower. when they take a hardly nothing shower, They rinse. even our rinses are still like there's a lot going on to it. flaps are open, We're still getting into every crevice and crack with.
you know Intensity and intention and effort and the whole. you know, we're getting in there them. So rinsing is literally as such there. It's like the people that you see in the public bathrooms. It just flick their fingers under the running.
Faucet. that's them in the shower. They just like step in and like shake their face under the water and then get out.
Is this an offensive term, a whore's bath? It might be, I don't know, but I love to you, It's just. it's basically so supposed to be back of the day like a whore's bath, as they've watched wash their privates and their underarms. but like I feel like men always take a whore's bath, like they go in the shower and they just Lift their arm and go like this, with water and their face, and then they're out. I mean, listen, I've, we've.
we've had to do.
Equivalence of that where you know, you can't get to the shower, So you have to like use like wipes to like get your underarms and then which way and then like perfume.
I think the point, though, is like our worst shower is their best. So, and everything shower would be like a fucking a Rubik's Cube to them, and everything shower would be them getting.
Reborn, essentially like, literally like they would probably never feel cleaner in their lives. They haven't been that clean since their mom put them in the sink and hosed them down Their first bath ever, you know, they have a picture of the last time they had an everything shower. It was their first bath ever. They had a placenta schmear. It was their mom putting them in the sink, being first bath ever.
That was it. It's all downhill from there. I know, but yeah, no, I was. I was just curious. Okay, how often do you take an everything shower?
It depends on how sexually active I am. Whoa, Oh, really?
I would say like I am trying to be better about them, cuz like I am Honestly not really sexually active at the moment and like not dating. So it's easy for your legs to be able to be braided when you aren't like seeing anyone, and it does feel so good just To have an everything shower. So I definitely feel like I try to do it every other week. But if I'm what? also if I'm yeah, how often you do it?
Oh, Like twice a week. Oh, no, I love, see, I'm see. Okay, this is. this is what's interesting, because I was curious, like how often people take their everything shower.
Well, also, maybe maybe I'm in the wrong for that, but I like. I was saying, but if I'm seeing someone, it's usually happening more Often, correct, but so like, yeah, I would say like once a week would be fair, But yeah, every other week, because also for me, I don't you what do you wash your hair every day? No, okay.
Let's how many. let's just break down like what in everything a shower even is, because it might be different for other people. Okay, the basics are gonna be where you wash your hair Condition, your hair. you're gonna at least shave Your legs and whatever else you may be or need to shave. maybe some exfoliation is involved, But it's gonna be like a full body, like shave, and a full hair wash condition.
Maybe you're even doing a little bit more to the face routine. Maybe you're getting some like exfoliation going on there, but some people take it a step further. So I'm wondering what else you would include in here.
So I think that there are like elements that happen after the everything shower that I include in the everything shower. It's like that's what I is under my everything shower umbrella. but once you get out of it, everything shower, like if you Slipped on some water, you'd go like an alluge because you should feel that soft like that is my goal of my everything shower. So mine includes shampoo conditioner, because I only wash my hair every like five days exfoliation before my shave. So full body exfoliation I shave.
I usually shout out Osea love. I added in recently my body polish, which has been delightful. So like that's a lighter exfoliation, But also has that like oily element. So you just feel so nice and clean. I usually do a hair mask when I do in everything showers, So I put the hair mask in while I'm like doing the exfoliating body elements.
That's when you got a time it, because the hair mask needs to sit on the hair for at least like three to five minutes.
We need the five minutes. so then I do my all my body stuff and like my shave, and then I Start with the cleansing balm and then do my, which I do pretty much every night. So that doesn't really count. So then, when I get out now are we? it depends, am I doing a self tanner or not?
So then this is where I would do the self tanner. let that dry, rinse it, put on regular lotion, or I would just move to Regular lotion, yada, yada, when I get out and like tweeze eyebrows, do any of that. What does yours look like?
Well, because I have shorter hair now and I use a lot more product in my hair, I have to wash my hair a little more for them. I do it like maybe like twice a week, not not too much because, but I will like rinse My hair like pretty thoroughly just to try to get at least some of the What's left over in my hair, just so I can start semi fresh every day, but mine will be somewhat similar. Definitely trying to do some kind of like real, intense exfoliation. It's so important to exfoliate. You've so much dead, gross skin That you're just like leaving behind in your bed and everywhere that like, I try to like get a good buff all over my body, more than Once a week, twice a week, I would say, and then I'll use like a good, like shaving balm or Something to help just get a nice move.
and then I like, also like, helps, like the skin stay like moisturized, Moisturized and hydrated afterwards. and then I'll do Like a, I'll exfoliate my face, a nice cleanse on my face, And then I don't know I'm, I don't think there's anything like weird or absurd afterwards. But again, that's like a whole like process, because you want to get all the details, you know.
Yeah, but it takes forever to perfect what works for you, though, and it is a timing thing. And again men.
eating like Everything, like arms back. Yes, that's what takes. chest, stomach, ass, She. you know, you want to get your ass sex. Yes, as a statement, you know to me, and like everything, feet bottom of the feet.
Yep, toes, like it is Everything. that's what takes. that's my haphazardly. just slopping that stuff over me. I'm getting in.
No, and that's what takes the big. that's the biggest time commitment, I think the whole process for me is like exfoliating. so I think universally, when women say everything showered, That's mostly what they're talking about is like a shave exfoliate and a hair wash is all included in that in some way mm-hmm, whereas men are like.
Water.
towel, they're everything. shower brush their everything. shower would include just maybe Rubbing a little bit of shampoo over the very top of their head. I don't know. I've watched men shower and it's just it is.
I'm sitting there just I got like I'm like.
One thing there's rarely soap in the mouth. Oh, I'm like, are you done? Why are you done? They're like, what do you mean? I'm like, hmm.
Well, I should be rethinking this situation. You're gonna throw my pH off. That's us. Yeah.
It'll turn you off for days. Anyway, but I don't know. I mean, I wonder if I knew if anyone has like anything like really wild or interesting that you do and you're everything shower.
And that's also, I feel like I miss saying in my everything shower, because it's my everyday shower is washing every single surface.
Yeah, every day shower. So don't. oh, yeah, I got. I got two different loofahs. I got one that's like get.
it's like, has a little bit more of a. What is it made out of? I don't know what it's made out of, but it's not that like. it's like the grittier material. They're like natural, like.
think, that's like. it's a nice solution. But every day I'm Lathering up all over the body. I'm doing some kind of like rinse on my head. I'm washing my face, Washing the cracks, the crevices are getting down to the toes, from head to toes.
every day gets washed, But I'm not doing the full body shave exfoliation. every day. I use a washcloth.
I'm not a loofah gal, but then I use a mitt that has an exfoliating like. I have one of those two. I have on it.
I have probably five different exfoliation apparatus is like whether it's Actual, like, you know, like the dossier body polish, or it's some type of like tool, Some kind of cloth mitt loofah brush, some type of thing.
well. and then also it's always so funny to me when men are like, because if you're with a woman and she touches your skin, she Knows why it's so soft, and a man's like, oh, your skin is so soft. You're like, yeah, that's not an accident That didn't come from, I didn't pray about it. And then my I woke up with the smoothest skin You've ever felt in your life. This is very intentional, sir.
You should try it.
Also, I have like three different types of body washes. I have like four different types of shampoos and conditioners.
It is I'm a product or you're a product person, I'm not. I use dr Bronner's that like really really minty soap. That is what I use for my body wash like, and it's gender-neutral, so anyone can use it at my home And it's kind of no one's using it, but yeah, I'm I and I love it.
I think you think some man's gonna come in there and use your body wash ain't using watch?
Well, that's what I'm saying, but it maybe maybe we'll teach him a thing or two, but I'm like, yeah, I like my one shampoo, my conditioner, my one, That, my one, everything, and I do switch between them because it helps your. I've sometimes want to be that girl That can just have. you are a stuff person. I know you have lots of things in every category in your apartment.
I know, whatever I am, who I am, you are. your bathroom looks like Sephora.
But that's why I like going there and doing a new like whoo.
Anyway, yeah, shout out to everything. showers. You're the best.
You.
Have you ever been like walking around and then you suddenly smell something that immediately brings back a memory?
Yeah, it's like sometimes I miss him.
Yeah, it's so crazy. how smell can transport you like that. That's why I love Osea. every time I use it, I'm immediately brought back to like some incredible memory beach on vacation. if Osea has no fans, I'm dead.

With summer right around the corner, Daily Harvest has been a game-changer for me, because it's less about quick fixes and more about building Healthy habits, honestly, if it wasn't for Daily Harvest, I would exclusively Order food, and it's so expensive and not healthy.
I completely agree. Daily Harvest makes it easy to meet my goals and stick with them. They take the planning, prep and cleanup out of cooking by delivering my favorite veggie and fruit pack meals straight to my door.

You know, usually keeping healthy habits means the same old Boring meals, But not Daily Harvest. they've got so many great options for any time of the day, which means sticking to healthy habits is a breeze. because I got, you Know, a little bit of a sweet tooth sometimes. Mm-hmm, that curbs it. We love a sweet treat.
Mm-hmm. I love having the dragon fruit and lime smoothie in the morning and then cuddling up my PJs at night with a warm little rosemary Soup makes me feel like I'm in a practical magic house. Just oh.

Well, and also the tick-tock resolve which I'm. I'm a great tick-tock reposter.
It's just like when I was on Twitter, I'm a great reader. I have something else. I do tell me I have like dissertations in the shower, Fighting with people. Yeah, I have spread practice speeches. I practice everything I should have said in conversations, things.
I want to say, but probably will never say I have like real.
Impassioned conversations. Do you talk to yourself loud? Yeah. Yeah, I do, and people are like, oh, that's crazy, And I'm like, I don't know I play the characters. Perhaps I should have been an actor, because I do both sides and like I can't, so you need to hear it out loud.
I do that in the shower, but sometimes I'll also be like walking to my car in the parking garage, He-he-he, and then someone will walk by me and I'm. that's when I'm acutely aware of it and super embarrassed.
But oh no, only inside my own place or in the car. I will say things out loud, but I'm in my car. I'm like, they probably just think I'm talking on the phone. That's fine. Yeah, that also.
so that's whatever. Yeah, no, that's probably the only other thing that I do in the shower. Is I'm practicing what I want to say They will, or what I should have said. I'm a big fan of the things I should have said. Oh my god.
I love the things I should have said. Do you know what else? you just flagged my memory. by the way? I heard something quick sidebar that your brain cannot differentiate between a real conversation that happened and the ones that you're making up in your Head, so your my brain thinks it's warfare.
at all times It's like wait, wait, what. your subconscious mind apparently cannot tell. the difference between the things that you are Manufacturing that have not happened, that you're envisioning had gone differently, and the think conversations you actually had with someone? real scary to me. So I am delusional.
Yeah, you're tricking your brain into thinking you're having more.
Cortisol in your life. So I'm just like remembering things differently. No, no, no.
No, wait, it's. it's basically what actually happened happened. But then, if you go and think of like, okay, What if I had said this and then they had said that or whatever? your brain cannot discern which one of those is made up. So it just like, collects all that information.
so it thinks you've had 50 conversations with this person about this topic and just thinks that You're always having a fight or an issue. I don't like that, You don't? you say? I'm saying like. so, if you have one conversation with some person, the same conversation, but you have 50 different versions of it, where you said something different and there was a different outcome, your brain collects all of that.
Data and assumes it all happened. I mean, I don't know. I've pretty much remember exactly what happened.
Okay, if there are any neuro physicists out there, listening to this time needs to pass Girl, I don't have a degree in that department. I mean what I'm saying is it was interesting to me and I was like, oh.
Yeah, but I still pretty much remember with the actual reality.
No, I do too, but it's saying your subconscious brain can't differentiate the two. Well, my subconscious brain is a wild place in general.
Yeah, it likes to play tricks on me while I'm asleep. sleep, paralysis, demon, with it's everything shower. It just comes out all my dreams.
Wait, I need to tell you one more horrifying thing that happened to me the other day. Well, I don't think I told you about this. So I have the other thing that is always in my shower is my toy cleaner. a hundred percent of the time It's where it's lives, because when I wash my different, various things in terms of like vibrators, whatever I do it in my sink. So I just reach for the toy cleaner there and I forget that it's there Until someone else is in my apartment and like clocks it because it looks like there's like green tea leaves on.
it's not like it, Doesn't know anyone. Yeah, so it's sitting there in my shower and my Niece was in town recently and she was in the bath, and I took a cute photo of her. You couldn't see anything. It was just her face. but, Laszlo, my cat comes up and is like Pying at her, and so they're like playing with each other.
So I take a photo and I send it to our family group chat, Which consists of like seven people, obviously all people that bathe her and whatever. so there's nothing weird about the photo, but I send it and then I'm like looking. I zoomed in on it later and I was like In giant letters, it says toy cleaner in front of my shampoo body, wash conditioner and everything the parents. It could be worse. the parents that are in that group would never Say anything about it if they did notice it, and I hope they're so innocent that they wouldn't.
but I texted My sister's best friend, Lisa, who listens to the pod. So hi, Lisa and Brittany, and I was like, oh my fucking god. I just said this to the family group chat.
It's hygiene at the end of the day.
It's just not something I would want them to see or like think about when they think about my shower. But yeah, so if you have toy cleaner, be careful with before you're taking wholesome photos in it. I mean, that's awful, isn't it? It's awful. I personally think it could be worse.
Oh, it could be worse.
Have you said something worse to a family group chat?
My biggest fear is sending a nude to a family group chat and or co-worker at my alien arm fear. That's a big alien arm fear.
Like accidentally posting something to Instagram. Oh, like putting it like, just because you know how. like when you swipe to the left and then it's like your stories pop up. Just it only would take, like a few Accidental taps if, like you recently screenshot or took in a photo or and I'm saying like it has to be, like Inappropriate or like a new, but just something you would not share, want to share with the world. and the thing is, you cannot Delete it fast enough, before enough.
I see it and screenshot it.
Well, and now I think it's updated that you can delete it while it's loading, But you know how. before it was like you have to wait for it to fully upload. I once posted a very raunchy nude to my story and what had happened was Instagram. I had just updated it and it did a shift. where then they think they undid it after that because people would you know your Finger would just post Mm-hmm.
there was a scenario in which I was like kind of sexting with someone back and forth and I was sending it to him and Somehow it was the button that said post your story when it was supposed to be going to him. something happened and I did it And I went and I caught it as it was happening, But I had to wait for it to upload and then I deleted it immediately and no, I saw it. So luckily, nothing happened. but you know there are people out there who Accidentally, have posted nudes to their story and then not known and then, like people, have texted them being like hey.
We know that the prank people play on you and they're like the stupid chain mail thing when it's like. Oh, why did you mean to post? you mean to post that to your story? Don't do that to me, because that's a fear of mine. the same way, with the voice note to text thing, This is the other one.
Would you rather?
Okay, send a nude to your family group chat or send a screenshot to someone that you're talking shit about, and it's about them.
Send a screenshot to someone and spot them, because I've done that before. But I could, I? I would rather. I don't think there's anything Super awful that I would say behind. since I wouldn't say it to their face.
I try to keep it in check. I mean, there's sometimes where I will let shit rip, but I I think I can be that person. I was like listen.
Well, no, I I'm a hundred percent. that way too, but it's still like it's. it's just awful Like it's. you don't want it. I'm not saying I would enjoy it.
Yeah,
It's like, even if you would say to them and you're comfortable saying that, or even if you have, and they know you've said it, It's still like I'm having a moment where I'm venting with my friend, which we all fucking do, but like, yeah, It's a horrible feeling. Have you ever? Sent a like nude to someone that you meant to send to someone else or on? No, okay.
No, I'm. let's keep that way. I'm. no, That's never pretty selective about that.
Welcome wood. Okay. So again, 20th episode, insane clown posse everything showers nudes on.
When this episode air. so Wednesday today is the official day that something about her is open.
That's what I was gonna say. That's what I thought we were gonna open with, but we I know we found our way here.
Listen, I, we were gonna get to it at some point. tell us about it. How are you feeling about it? What, what's the bit? I feel really good because it's been such a long time coming in.
the anticipation and stress and frustrations that we've had along the way have, just like, really piled up inside of myself and I know around as well and Being asked a million and one times like what's the up-to-date? when's it opening? and not being able to say or have a Clear idea, because we're just so many of so much of it was out of our hands. So, in the meantime, just not really having much to show for it, But still like actively working on things and working with amazing, like team of people with you know Mark, who's been behind the scenes, you know helping us get all of our permits and everything you know squared away with the city and with contractors and everything like that. and then Jamie, who's been Creating this, like wonderful, beautiful men, Menu and Mackenzie, who's just like been a rock star, like manager for everything.
and then so just having all this stuff going on But having not being able to like, share it with everybody. So finally, now it's like it just feels like real and now people can come in and experience it, and really just That's the best part of all is getting to this point.
It was very cute seeing it, especially with the music on like it. that just felt obvious. that was before the Soft opening or whatever even, and there's just so much detail that's gone into it. I'm so excited for you guys, and particularly for everyone out there who is being an annoying conspiracy theorist, like. it's a very satisfying feeling, I imagine, but I So far have tried the is the Kate, the vegan tuna one.
That's the carry. the carry Are the Greek one, is the Greek? is the Meg the Meg? And well, if it for anyone that doesn't know, you guys named the sandwiches, you know.
We named the sandwiches after just iconic leading ladies, you know I mean the whole like thing we loved, like Nancy Meyers and rom-com. So we want you know, the whole theme of it, to feel like you're in a very cozy, you know Setting all I like in Nancy Meyers movies. It's belts on themed to name it after you know, Not just people Nancy Meyers movies, but just iconic leading ladies that we have looked up to. so yeah, We have. the Meg is delicious.

the Kate is our apres see. and The Viola It's a turkey sandwich. The Reese is our chicken salad drew other Jews. So it's a whipped goat cheese and.
Love. It's so good. Yeah, is there meat on that one? Um, you can have prosciutto to that, but it's. it's really great on its own.
It's whipped with chives and a hint of lemon. It has shaved apples on it and it's like really wonderful, like jalapeno, mango, marmalade, Little hint of spice. Did you try it? Oh, you were full by the time.
No, I was full by the time, and that's what I was asking. Okay, well then, that's what I will be getting next time I go in. also important to note. There's wine there. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we are exclusively pouring Aveline wine, which is owned by Catherine Powers and Cameron Diaz, and it's delicious. It's wonderful. love their brand because they're very transparent about their Ingredients on their label. no added sugar, delicious, delicious. and we have lover boy.
We have two of their hard teas and all of their wine spritzers. We have some hard cider. We have some beer, Obviously some non-alcoholic stuff as well. and then got some like cookies and like little cakes, right? Yeah, one of each.

I'm super excited to see how everything goes and I know you guys are still getting your flow, as with any new business. So I'm just excited for you to get through the first few weeks of craziness and then have everything on autopilot.
You both have worked extremely hard on this and it's just yeah.
I'd love to see it and we can't wait to introduce some like new, Exciting, like elements like we want to do like a tea service, For sure, and then we're gonna be doing cocktail, wine based cocktails. We're gonna do like a spicy wine based margarita, and we'll be kind of introducing new ones each month. And you know, definitely like, want to have sandwich that specials, to like, be able, to, you know, Try out new ideas and just get some good feedback and I don't know, keep it fresh, keep it exciting. Yeah, it's just been such a long time coming and it's just. I've just been waiting to get to this point for so long.
We're here. We're here, And so if people can, finally, I think, once they get in there and they see the space and the music and the food, It's like everything will kind of make sense. Cuz, I know a lot of people were like. the name doesn't make a lot of sense. It doesn't sound like a sandwich shop and we're like, it's kind of the idea.
We wanted to sound like a movie title, right, that was the idea of it, right? Yeah, so excited.
Those are very happy things. Mm-hmm. I need to switch to some anger. What's wrong? Well, first of all, I already told you can't wait to get to basement.
today I want to do a quick recap of something and then I want to ask you about something else, because You have brought it up to you before and I think it tied very well together. First of all, I want to do a quick, dramatic reading of a comment on our man versus bear video. Yeah, this person just completely proved our point, and it's clearly a man. This person says I Won't have to take care of the bear, give them meaningless compliments or stroke their ego. I wouldn't need to think about the bears reaction if I say or do something for myself.
I wouldn't have to feel like I need to defend a bear for their crappy jokes or Tolerate their friends when they're jerks. I wouldn't have to explain to a bear what my relationship is with the deer or that I wasn't flirting. I wouldn't have trust issues with the bear. Their actions are more predictable. I wouldn't be gaslighted by the bear.
the list goes on.
Why is he so threatened by the bear?
one more time for the cheap seats in the back, we are not talking about men cheating on us or Gaslighting us or whatever. We're talking about getting murdered you, this person is.
We're. first of all, we're comparing you to the bear. Why are you trying to compare us to the bear? We are not the bear. We're not the bear, bro.
Who might also, who's the deer? the fact that you, just like they've missed the mark so much now.
You're just throwing in other woodland creatures.
Okay, like what about the squirrels? Yeah, we haven't even talked about the Fox. How dare you? I'm like, sir. What are you talking about?
It? just it made me chuckle. I want to know how long he thought about that. Well, the thing is, this person is kind of giving me incel energy and like oh, yeah, you're crappy jokes, They're friends. They're jerks.
It sounds like you suck, sounds like you're a bummer to be around and people that reads I.
Just my favorite one was the deer one, I don't want to explain my relationship to the deer.
Well, I'm calling dateline and you might have to because something you know, why do you have a relationship with the deer, sir? You're not Cinderella. You are not Snow White. This isn't a good look for you.
I'm just confused. Why? why it turned into like, okay, so you do you want to marry the bear? So, like you, I'm just. I'm just so confused what he's talking about?
Well, I would choose the bear as well, because you wouldn't have to like, I don't.
Sir, we don't think we could beat a bear. We don't think we could take one on. what we're saying Is the bear will either kill us or it won't. it'll go about its day a man. There's a million options.
That is the point. I don't know why this is so confusing.
But the way that certain do you know what the bears not gonna do? bear splain to us?
I.
Go on some weird fucking diatribe that makes no sense, just to try to be right about something that he doesn't even understand. My guy, if you don't get it, just say you don't get it and move along. Go, I don't know. hit your head on something, not bear splain.
I'm gonna be laughing about that later. That's what I like. I should respond back and be like. don't bear splain to me.
Yeah, do you know? the bears not gonna do? I don't know. Try to sit and let's make me listen to, like him, explain cinema to me.
It's too soon, Katie, okay, Specifically, it's been too soon. Good God, you know what the bears not gonna do. Well, keep texting me after I've blocked them in talk to themselves in their DMS and their text messages. I wouldn't be mad.
Okay, so that was one piece of it. Here's the other thing. Okay, cuz we were talking about the for B movement, right?
Have you seen? or be movement, by the way, it started in Korea because women are fed up with just only being Purposeful in life, apparently in their culture and society, to just be married and have kids and pump up, You know, and it started with. initially this like shifted against the whole beauty standard That was being so heavily propagated to them, and then now they're just like they're like moving Swift and hard against not wanting to get married, not wanting to have kids, that they're just like going so hard in the celibacy Department. and it's now spread.
Worldwide and because of that, no, that's yeah, thank you for explaining. Did you see the ads that bumble the billboards that bumble put up? who? Who decided that? not a bear.
tell you that much? So if you didn't see, bumble, put up a bunch of billboards, that's by the way.
I could probably beat that guy. Oh, yeah, me put me in the woods with him. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this guy.
He's, I can. I can already picture his body, stature. I. So these billboards are like Celibacy. a vow of celibacy isn't the option, isn't the answer, isn't.
the answer says who. it says who, and I'm like once again.
Why are you making decisions about women with it? What women do with their bodies? Sorry,
So no, there was. there was a bunch of them. bumble his, since I actually think they had a pretty good response to it. They were like they took him down. They're like we realize now the air in our ways in in we have those billboards for an amount of time.
So, in lieu to, like, rectify the situation, We're donating to all these charities and then we're giving them the billboard space for an ad for what they, whatever they choose. I actually think that's one of the best responses. I've seen from a company in a really long time.
He didn't try to like double down or explain or justify or make excuses. They just were like. that was fucking lame. and here's how we're gonna crack look, ladies.
The more that we and I know there's gentlemen listening to, but this is just specifically to the girls out there The more we have control of our bodies and we resist the patriarchy, the angrier that they're getting, the more nervous they're getting, the more that they're trying to gonna make you feel bad about it and make you feel like that's only what your value really is. and all of us have looked around like the Disproportion of sweat equity that women have to put into having children. like we've talked about this before, We're just a lot of us are over it. We're like, yeah, I'm not gonna be taking the brunt of all that on, and obviously there's wonderful things that come out of that, and Joy and love and so much, so much good, but also we're just not really interested in the status quo anymore of what that looks like of when you get married and have kids and just like. No, we're.
we're People that have dreams and goals and want all the things that men want.
we just. all we're asking for is equality. the world's on fire. the state of everything right now is scary and It just feels like.
No, what's my catchphrase? It's about the world being on fire. The world is on fire. Yeah, we're on a rock floating through space. Yeah, the rock is on fire.
Yeah, we're all gonna die soon. Yeah, nothing is that deep. say that all the time.
But nothing really matters. Climbing just coming for all of our asses. So and so like nothing matters. I mean you can place as much value on things as you really want, but in the day like.
live your life, live your dreams, and if something is Not consistently making you not feel good. Like I'm honestly celibate at the moment and not dating because it just until something comes in my life and Knocks me on my ass and Blows me away then it's just like I have not one more room for a little bit of a dopamine hit. if something that makes me feel good And that someone who's unavailable makes me feel bad and you know what? I mean? I just like, yeah, I'm and the.
I was thinking about that on the way here, the collective peace I feel, where no one is disappointing me and I'm not unable to eat or sleep and feeling sad. Yeah, you don't get the dopamine highs, but you also have peace.
Correct. Yeah, I'm all. I'm very into peace. I am in a new phase. I'm in my blocking era.
Welcome. I'm. take a proud of me. I'm so proud of you. I you know, I was always that girl.
that's like I don't want to block anyone, because I'm not that and I cuz I just I feel like weird about it. I feel like it's like kind of petty. but No, I feel like at this point. I have to remind myself of the standards I have and that I'm able to put in place boundaries to protect my peace and remove access to people that don't respect those things. and If it's petty, than so, fucking be it.
but I have felt at peace in the last, However long it's been, just not.
Having to think about it. Well, I think when people are resistant to it, I feel like sometimes it's because they're worried about how they'll be perceived if they're blocking someone Where's like. I don't care if someone thinks I'm petty or whatever. It's typically not a petty thing for me. It's a protective mechanism, because if something is just allowing free access, It's gonna make it harder for me to put it out of my mind.
It's more so. just something where I'm like, this isn't working for me. I'm gonna move on, so I'm gonna put these measures in place, and Some people can't handle it. but I do think that you get over things twice as fast when you are not subjecting yourself to it on social media or Continuing to have like little breadcrumb II conversations. It's just kind of like yeah.
well, when you shift the focus and you realize like it's removing access is also removing the Exposure to what any of their opinions or thoughts or feelings? Towards you are whatsoever or I mean anyone else but like. but that's kind of the point of it, too.
Totally I think I've. I've known peace for the first time in my life because I've also done a way outside of dating, just like done the work on myself, and I'm truly happy, but I have De-centered men in such a big way. I've never known such peace in my life and it's fantastic. highly recommend, by the way.
We love men. I think we have to remind people. It's not, though. Truly. We're not The sand wrist over here, like we do.
we think they're great, but, like, you know, there's just too many of them out here just.
Running amok. Well, I share said I love men. I think men are the coolest. They are the coolest, but they're not really necessary to live. I'm like that is just the flow.
And yes, by the way, there are tons of great men out there. I particularly have just attracted all the small population of bad ones, because that's all I like, because my dad doesn't love me. So like it was just this cyclical thing. So I am more so speaking to that population and I just no longer I'm allowing them to have access to me.
I'm trying to break a cycle. guys. Okay, like, give me a break. So it's not about, yeah, being a man here, anything that I'm Trying to break a cycle. So let me do my fucking thing.
We support you.
I'm very proud of that. And also there's a lot of people listening that are in very happy.
Relationships and marriages and like we love that for every try to get on your fucking level. So, like glad it worked out for you and you don't have to go through that hell that we're going through. Congrats, you don't know what it's like. I.
Well, all I know is that if the worst thing that ever happens to me for the rest of my life Is that I don't find the love of my life, then, like I've lived a really good life, I'd rather do that than have one more situationship. I'm literally done. It will never happen again.
That little thing is if I would rather do whatever I want whenever I want, and hang out with people that I enjoy and we can Travel, go see the world, just like, fill my days of the things. I love to do and enjoy so much, then put up with somebody's bullshit, someone who doesn't respect me, someone who wastes my time, who someone who just looks at me like I'm some kind of Convenient little like, whatever the fuck like. I'm not bad to anyone and I know that. so I will just keep Having the best time ever. Well, no problem, I'm not trying to fill a position in my life, So you gotta, you gotta please your case to me if you want to.
Roll with this. Well, again, I'm like not trying to be Alarmist, but like the earth really is coming to an end. So I just don't care. I'm a little bit like I'm spending every single second. I have left here very happy, very fulfilled, and I'm just not letting.
I'm the. my biggest hurdle to that was me allowing people in my life that were causing me to feel that way, and it's just No longer thing, and coincidentally, I'm sleeping for the first time in ten years.
What do? we will be like great gardens if we have to you, you and I literally. but also there are worse things in the world. I just think I'm not saying it's a bad. I'm just saying like at the end days, not like I'm gonna be alone.
I'm not alone. No, and you know what? I love fucking being alone. Anyway, I also, I'm also I mean.
I've just lived along alone for some long, so long. I really Treasure that too. So, also in terms of someone coming in my life, like, you're also in my personal space and Fucking. with that. She, you have to be really special.
So in the meantime, I am loving my life and rejecting any weird, scary man with a podcast out there or Otherwise, you know those like what there's like a phrase for them all. those like try to make women feel bad about themselves. They like, want us to be lonely and sad and miserable, but we're not whenever I see that. I'm just like.
Oh, Like, I'm just like. not for me. No, I'd rather eat a sleeping bag. Hmm. We're on a sleeping bags now.
Yeah, I threw all the mattress.
Full mattress queen-size. Okay, great. I'll take that on if you want to share. Oh, I just was. I was about to say something and then I forgot girl.
I'm not an oracle. I.
Wish I could remember that one specific podcast. I got kicked off of YouTube. That's like the kind of people I'm talking about. they're like, so scary and so toxic, and they they cater to like the in-cell crowd and.
I was really scary shit. I mean, I don't know. I don't. it's like top love or something. I don't pay them any.
Mind, I'm just gonna Google right now. It's toxic male, And see if it the title comes up. I don't know. It's Andrew Tate's of the world. Yes, it's that.
Talk about like high-value men and high-value women, like shut the fuck up. Like what do you know about any of that?
Yes, exactly. It's those kinds of people. Well, can we just move on to the basement? Yeah, well, I have to do and I have been chomping at the bit. number one honestly relates pretty much to what we were just discussing.
Harrison, but Kerr, who's that? Harrison? fucking but liquor Harrison? But Kerr is the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and he gave a commencement speech. and by the time people listen to this.
Like. I know you're talking about. Okay. I saw this. He is a.
Radical, Religious person. He gave a commencement speech to a room full of people that had just graduated college. First of all was going on. He's like speaking to the men. right now There there's a war on masculinity, like he's gonna pop out with a podcast in five minutes.
all this shit He's like. and now the women. you have been fed diabolical lies. Congratulations on this huge accomplishment, but I'm excited for you to reach your full vocation, Which is to be a wife and a homemaker and a mother. My wife's life did not begin until we got married and we had children literally the most like disgusting shit you've ever heard that.
to look at someone in the eyes that you're the commencement speech person and they just worked so hard to Obtain this degree and be like this was cute. But once you pop out a kid, that's when your life begins First of all. in general, he's just disgusting. Hey Smit, get in my basement. Here's my conspiracy theory.
I think that his wife hates him and He read the speech to her and she was like, that's amazing. They're gonna love it. I love that scenario. Let's just let that this marinate for a second. How funny is that if she was like?
no, She's like. this is how I win. This is how I take him out. Like, let him do this. Oh, oh, we're looking that way.
I thought you meant just like. oh, no, that she was just like. yeah, this is amazing. Yes. Don't leave a single word out.
so anyway, I thought that was fucking insane. and Basement and does the college? are they not embarrassed? Oh, oh, my god. And then he goes like my teammates, girlfriend says, and then quoted Taylor Swift.
he called Taylor Swift my teammates girlfriend. and what'd he say? I can't remember the lyric. I'm not a Swiftie, but regardless any woman of that stature who's reached those heights of any career in any industry, to refer to, take her name away and give her the title of girlfriend of I.
Isn't that psychotic and upsetting who claims this man? I don't see, like many women running around embarrassing our, You know, species. Do you know what he looked like?
What he looked exactly how you think you look to by the way, he just a toe. Yeah, with a beard, He, he looks. yeah, he looks like he. I'd be curious of his whereabouts on January 6, 2021. that's how he fucking look.
Ah, the other basement is Someone. EDC is happening this weekend, So it will have happened by the time. you guys listen. But someone put out an ad looking for a babysitter during the day because they were bringing their baby to an RV, But then said they wouldn't need a babysitter at night because the baby will be sleeping and they'll have a baby monitor so they can Just come back if the baby wakes up. I also saw someone who put their baby on the floor at a Taylor Swift concert in Paris.
Um, I saw that as well.
So, in general, if you are a parent bringing your baby to a fucking festival, especially EDC or anything like that, You that leave your baby home. Also, if you have $300, like they're like pay $100 an hour, three-hour minimum during the day. get a babysitter that and leave the baby at Home disgusting. I hope that's like a hoax. But if it's not, yeah, basement, what the hell.
as a former latchkey kid, I also just have like serious sensitivities to that. just maybe don't have a baby. Also, you have an option not to have a baby. You can pause and think perhaps.

Let's bring it up a notch, let's, should we do some hometown heroes.
Hometown, hometown heroes. Jamie says hi, there. I own a small bagel shop and every Wednesday I listen to Disrespectfully while I roll hundreds of bagels. Yeah, you know, I got so hungry, But it's one of my favorite carbs. this week's episode made me fucking gasp, as I recalled a moment in my 20s Where I went home with a guy I met at a bar.
when we got back to his apartment, Hmm, he whipped out and to say I was shocked was an understatement. I had never seen a micro before.
It was so fucking small. at first I thought I was looking at an Audi belly button. I Had never even heard of a micropenis. I didn't know what to do. So I just started to cry.
I made up some story about how my grandma had just died and I booked out of there. I'm not proud, but that's what happened. Honestly, my whole phase went on for many, many years to follow and I never encountered another.
Never seen it. Oh, yeah, really I've won my whole life. Have you I?
mean, I don't know. I don't think it was a micro, but it was.
We've talked about. let's move. You don't need to be girth, master. Even an average-sized penis is fun. Okay, we can, that's great, We can all deal with that.
But the micro that I encountered first of all, he also couldn't get it up because I found out later. So it's the only time he could ejaculate was so tiny and men are so delusional. He looked at me and he was like, I Just know if I could get it up. It could make you come. I'm not even kidding.
I'm not even kidding you like thicker than my pinky, but like you put it in your fist. No, Oh hard. No, it wouldn't. it wouldn't poke out the other side also hard. No, hard.
No, and also like. so obviously I feel bad. It's not like they can help it. But yeah, it's. I should have just cried.
I like, tried to smush it around and make it work. It just it's.
Have you ever used? I mean I just small. it's just yeah, I mean it may be proud.
Yeah, it was. it felt like like a finger which, like I, you know, that can be fun.
But it's a very when it's an actual finger and it has different capabilities of movement. Like it's different when it's a penis. I'm sorry that happened and I'm glad your grandma didn't die.
Oh.
No, okay.
Anonymous says hi, ladies. I'm such a big fan of you both. I have a story and, quite frankly, I may belong in the basement. Some may think I'm a hometown hero. Nonetheless.
I've been encouraged to tell the story. six years ago I was on a hookup and boozing weekend as a result of a horrible breakup cut. I've been on a hookup and boozing weekend for years. I was distraught and hung up on my ex, who was really belittling and shitty to me. So I thought a random hookup with shots with my friends would help.
Night one ended with shower sex with a guy who immediately told me he loved me. It was a note for me. night two had a cheeky little make out with my co-worker. night three I had a relapse and hooked up with my ex drunkenly the next morning. I was horrified with my choice of hookup with a man who has treated me so poorly.
The morning after my ex went in his washroom and was holding up night one man's used condom. He laughed and said wow, I was so drunk last night I forgot to throw my rubber out. needless to say, the visualization of my ex picking up another man's used condom was beyond healing. Stay safe out there and use protective.
That's funny.
That is funny, and you're absolutely a hometown hero. I'm obsessed with that. Yeah, that is definition. when we talk about closure. We're always like hoping to have a chat.
next time someone hurts my feelings, I want to see them holding the condom of another lover. Like that's goals. That's a closure. I'm looking for. I hope you never spoke to him again.
Also. Yeah, I love that for you, Congratulations, we're obsessed. Also, I feel like we keep forgetting to say this.
For anyone that's a new listener. every week we read stories that listeners send in from their own. You know, horrible dating stories or funny hookup stories, hometown heroes, you know, that's. that's what we just Read off there. So please send yours in, also in a subject line.
Make sure you specify. It's a hometown hero story. Give us as much detail as possible. Try to keep it as short as possible. So it's not, you know, a.
Novella. also, I want stories about everything I want to, not even just dating, like let, any crazy story that you think is insane and that we would get a chuckle out Of, or like our community. We're all sitting together listening.
Yeah, it's exactly w-dub-d-d-dub-dub-d-d.
Cadence's. hi, ladies. I'm a huge fan of you both and I love the new pot. I'm in my late 20s and I'm starting to feel like I have no friends. Most women I used to be friends with go out to bars every weekend and I feel like I've grown past that.
I spend most Saturdays at home with my dogs, which I love most of the time, But I do feel lonely at times. any tips on making new friends at this stage in life.
I At some degrees resonate with that. I feel like, after like getting divorced and Kind of wanting to transition and into this like new chapter in life. I Wanted to Open up my social network a bit more and I've made, like a lot of, like new friends and just kind of. You know, and I don't think that needs to involve like going out and having like drinking buddies. I think it also involves like doing the things that you enjoy and Meeting people that way.
So again, if like, if there's, if you enjoy going on Runs or going to like do pottery classes, or I don't know. I think those kind of Activities or hobbies that you might have is where you're gonna Find people who are interested in those type of thing.
That's exactly what I was gonna say, and also just keeping in mind that it is harder to make friends when you're old. It really is. it's it's just as hard as dating, I would say, if not harder sometimes. but like, for instance, I do live ball, which is a type of tennis, and there's a girl that she doesn't even know you. I'm scoping her because we've been.
we like chat every time I'm there and I think she's really sweet. And so it's like When you put yourself in situations where you're doing the things that you want to be doing instead of things that don't fulfill you and You find draining. you'll probably end up meeting people through people and like. that's a great way to network.
yeah, and I think you have to just be a little bit more courageous and bold, and.
Just hate to break it to you. Your new best friend isn't gonna knock on your door and come up to you on the couch and be like we should get to Know each other. you're gonna have to meet them somehow and it's not gonna be on your couch.
yeah, and I think it's just be like oh my god, like. would you ever want to like, go like grab a lunch or go like?
Just look for like things that they mention in a casual conversation, just like oh my god, I love that. would you ever like want to go together sometime and, Depending on the how rarely people are gonna say like no, Or I have enough friends. I mean, if you're like chatting and getting along, and it's you know, I think, And all it takes is like one thing.
I mean, I'm maybe you wouldn't be surprised by this but people, your age and like our age. There's a lot of people that feel that way. So it's also other people who are looking for you when you're looking for them and you just don't know it. Yeah, so go find him. Brittany says hi, girly pops, love and adore you both and the pod.
as a bisexual woman, I would love to hear more about your queer dating stories. How has your experience been overall, dating women versus dating men? Have you ever really leaned into a queer dating scene in LA? we ho, and if not, Why do you think that is, as a bisexual woman, that ended up marrying a man, the ultimate stereotype? to be honest, I love to hear about other queer people's journeys and paths.
big kisses right on the mouth to both of you, Britt. big kisses back, Britt. first of all, I love that you brought up that that's a stereotype, because as a queer person you do not owe other people a queer facing relationship, And then it doesn't also diminish your queerness. So I really hate when that ends up being a trope. But for me, there is a difference between bisexual and biromantic, and I also think that kind of gets lost in the sauce.
So it's like if you're sexually attracted to your same gender and want to hook up with them, or do you're probably bisexual? But biromantic is leaning more toward, I think, heading into. you know What I think, like lesbians feel, are gay people in terms of like wanting serious relationships. So I have never been in a serious relationship with a woman. I have dated women and certainly hooked up with women.
It's also not to say that I haven't sought it out, But it definitely is something that has to, for me, happen more organically and like i'm actually, because i'm not dating right now, but I am going out with a lovely young lady tonight and You know you introduced me to her, you know who it is. Oh, okay, Yeah, so i'm looking forward to that, with no pressure beyond the fact that I just like her as a person, and we'll see what Happens, but yeah, that's pretty much been it for me, I think, that I have struggled as a bisexual woman in terms of There's been a thing where, for a long time. I felt that that like if i'm not dating a another woman, that i'm not like Queer enough, and it's such fucking bullshit, and I have really let that go in the last few years. So i'm just who I am and really confident in my sexuality and who it is, I want to date and I could very much see myself being in a serious relationship with a woman. I just have not met the right one.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, I think there's a lot of pressure sometimes to like define or identify or put a label on your sexuality, and i've never wanted to do that because it just doesn't feel like that to me and obviously like Being married to a guy for a really long time, but there was no pressure to do that. but since i've been like dating but also like I don't, i'm on dating apps and I just tend to like meet people, just being Out and obviously being also like attracted to women. So like, if there's A lady that I meet, i'm like, oh, there's something interesting about this person. maybe it would be going on a date or just like hooking up or something, but I'm, just always down to meet people. that in an organic way regardless.
So yeah, but again, i'm just like. It's just so daunting and it feels like such a good task these days. Yeah that unless it's going to be Something serious and you know, I don't want to date anyone.
No, i'm like not dating right now. So i'm very much making an exception. Yeah, and also this is like, um, so we'll see. but in general, I know you're just wanting to hear about our experiences, But I hope that you feel like your queerness is valid, because it is. it doesn't matter that you're dating, you're in a heterosexual relationship.
Yeah, well, I mean.
You are who you are, and it's amazing.
Everything just feels like fail right now, period, regardless of like Who it is. Anyways, carly says hey, girlies. I love you both so much. Now we're getting into my breakup. My ex and I broke up right around christmas.
He broke up with me because he said he needed to be alone and work on his mental health. It crushed, but I wanted to support him the best way I can. He told me it wouldn't be forever, because he was in love with me. We would see each other out at the bars and he would always tell me how much he missed me. He still loves me and wants to get back together, but it's not the right time right now.
Stupidly, I believed him. a few weeks ago. I moved into my new apartment and I come to find out he has a new girlfriend. It absolutely broke me, and then I also found out that one of my best friends and him were basically talking shit about me, And she says she was hanging out with him at bars. His sister also unfollowed me on instagram.
He plays victim and blames everything on me. I'm only 22 Years old, and what the fuck is going on? Please help besties. Well, He's trash.
He's garbage. move on from him immediately. He's.
Like he's just lying. like he, he he's. he has no emotional intelligence or maturity. He cannot be honest. He wants to just like yeah, might be like, oh, he doesn't want to break your heart.
No, he's just an asshole. He cannot tell the truth and he cannot be an adult. he's not mature and Yeah, bye-bye.
Bye-bye and also keep saying that to yourself over and over. i'm only 22.. You're right, you are, And that doesn't make it any less painful. No, it hurts just the same at any age. but like he, He's showing you who he is.
left, right and center this if I had a nickel For every time someone in my 20s told me they just weren't ready for a relationship and then had a girlfriend a week later, I'd have like five bucks. But my point is like This is this is a such a cliche, quintessential pattern like of a man doing that. So yeah, you need plead my recommendation to you Block, block him on everything be done speaking to him, and also your best friend is not going to be talking shit about you With your ex-boyfriend. so probably get rid of her also, and this is a huge takeaway as well and something.
Always like, always need to remind yourself. moving forward, Pay attention to the way people act, not the things they say. people pay lip service left, right center. They will tell you that they love you. They'll tell you they want to get together.
But if they're not acting that way and they're doing other very trash things, Believe those things, not the bullshit that they're serving.
Right. There you go. Anonymous says hi, katie and dana. My husband has an old co-worker who has the same music taste as him. I'm shameless top 40 r&b pop princess.
He loves electric, trancy, Trip-hop music vibes. from what I can tell, the extent of their friendship is sending new music or playlists on spotify to each other. That said, she's a woman and i've never met her before. I felt weird about their musical connection because i've started to feel like this can be a very intimate act. Sometimes he's listening to music.
She sends him to sleep or texts her after he listens to a new song. He loved. Admittedly, i've peeped at his texts and her with her once and she said things like thanks for being my music soulmate. Or they've said this is one sexy. this one has sexy vibes.
other than that, Most of the exchanges are about music. We've been together 12 years and married for five. She recently separated her husband after three years of marriage, I believe She's tried to get really deep about her marital problems and spill her husband's personal issues with my husband via text unsolicited to which I vocalize feeling weird about, because I feel like you should not have deep intimate knowledge or Conversations like these with any other woman outside of your wife, especially if your wife does not know them. She was recently in town and all of his other co-workers met up with her, But he chose not to, and I think it was out of respect for me. He still maintains the friendship.
What do you guys think? Would you be concerned, or is it possible that the music sharing part of their friendship is a straight-up, platonic way people can interact? Thanks. Yes. Love the pod.
Y'all are badasses.
I think it can absolutely be a platonic thing And you can just vibe with people and have that in common, and it does not need to reach beyond that. And on his end, it may just be that for sure. But but there's people that take advantage of that and use that as a way to grow close to somebody. and if she starts to share problems and lean on this person and want to like They, become like a safe place for this person, use your woman's intuition. If, if it stinks, it probably is because it stinks, you know.
Like, if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck and it sounds like a duck. It's probably a duck.
yeah, there's people that I 100% share music with, and i'm also not like Vibing with them on that level at all. And then there's other people that I have musical tastes like that and I also Have had other relationships, you know what I mean? Like, okay. So for me, yeah, it's a gay way.
It's a gateway for me. That is an extremely intimate thing. We've talked about it.
No, that's what I mean. It can be, it can. it can just also be like hey, When you know someone has same taste in you, just be like, oh my god, this song is dope, but it's 100%.
Very intimate thing. if it's like someone's making playlists, Someone's telling you a song has sexy vibes.
ma'am, honestly, yeah, I think that Can be platonic, but all the other things you're describing this situation don't read platonic to me, Like no, especially if they're saying that's a sexy vibe. Thanks for being my music soulmate. That is super inappropriate. if, For you're married and someone's saying that to your husband is really crazy in my opinion. Yeah, it sounds like this woman is looking for something else, and I think sometimes men can be.
stupid and not read certain things as, like, you know, someone trying to.
Like they're not um someone's advances, you know, and it's like, um, hello, wake up, My guy like. obviously this woman wants more than just a song recommendations from you. This is like textbook. So, you know, is it? are you talking about?
like toxic incompetence or whatever? Yeah, weaponized incompetence, weaponized, yeah, where it's just like you, like Again, like it started off, platonic like, oh my god, you like this right? Oh my god, I'll send you. but now it's like Turned into something. because when you start messaging with someone like that, it creates this like false intimacy.
It creates like this state of limerence. it's like on one end of the other, you know, or the other. but Again, use your women's intuition. Yeah, that's all we can leave you with.
I would say is I I? you're not alone. You're not crazy and thinking it's weird. It seems a little weird and use your intuition, Just like our hometown heroes. for anyone that's new, Please send in anything you need advice on.
you want a sounding board, whatever. put WWDD in the subject line and keep writing these in. keep them as short as you can. We love to hear it Disrespectfully pod at gmail.com. Yes.
All right. Congratulations. Let's go eat a sandwich. It's something else. Let's go get a sandwich.
