Whatever.
What are you guys doing?
We just want to say from the bottom of our hearts,
thank you for buying so much merch this week.
You guys stormed the new store.
We are so proud of the new stuff.
We had a fantastic designer.
Alyssa, help us with everything.
We've all new everything.
We have cute choggers and sports bras and blankets
and just all new designs for the sweatshirts,
which is what you guys have been loving buying.
So thank you so much,
and we're so proud of the new stuff.
Keep buying it.
In terms of dates,
we told you we keep you informed.
It seems like everything is going out on time.
And great,
you know, it's going quick.
The first time I saw someone tag me in something,
I was like, this should just want to sale.
Does she make this herself?
No, it's going quick.
I mean, it's no Amazon Prime.
Don't get it twisted,
but it is like, they're doing good.
They're doing good.
We don't want to promise everybody's getting their stuff
in 48 hours.
We are a small business and we print everything to order.
But the shipping times have been great.
We will get you guys holiday deadlines as soon as we have them.
But for now, just keep on ordering and we're excited to see you guys in the merch.
I'm wearing one of the throwback merch shirts that says, I literally don't care.
But we have new I literally don't care shirts.
It's our number one seller.
Yes.
The Dewey mug is not selling as much as we had hoped.
I recommend it.
What are you guys doing?
How do you guys know with the Dewey mug?
Are you drinking their coffee at the morning?
I will read anybody that buys the Dewey mug and tags me in an Instagram store,
I'll repost.
A hundred percent of them.
Ashley will be your friend.
A hundred percent.
friends of most of you.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into what's happened this week.
Our journey started on Tuesday.
It ended on Saturday.
Yeah, so you're part.
We'll get to that.
We have a whole thing we're going to talk about
the election night gathering.
Yes, I want to congratulate you because you have a new love,
and I'd like to congratulate in the same token,
the real star of the election, John King.
John King, who I miss already.
He's still there.
I know he's there, but not in the same way.
with his magic wall, like not with his hands all over that wall.
Like, okay, we just got a hand to all of the newscasters, with the exception of maybe
like one network, that just tirelessly covered this election that lasted so many days.
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 hour 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, you know, like the whole week, me and the rest of the
the country. I went to sleep every night. My phone next to me and I just picked up the phone
first thing the morning. I was like, oh God, did anything bad happen? Because I told you,
you have to text me if anything 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 Chrissy C and Don Lemon every night.
They come on at like 11 p.m. till three. 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, the church. The church.
smart throbs, as you will.
I know some of 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 in agree that they were both great.
We don't need to choose a winner for that.
But, I mean, CNN's Zaddies are unmatched.
I, Jake Tapper, if you're listening, you can tap this anytime.
Jake Tapper can tap it.
He's just, I love his level of snark.
You don't even really see it coming.
Because he's a felly guy.
He's just, right, I love Pennsylvania people.
I saw a meme that said, Philly has the best fuck around and find out energy.
Like, is that not, that's my new thing.
Fuck around and find out.
That's his energy.
That's his energy.
When you watch CNN and you watch it for a long time and you're watching Jake Anderson,
John King, Chrissy C, Don Lemon, Van Jones.
Oh, and of course we got to hand it to the OG Wolf.
Do you think, well, fuck's good.
His name is Wolf.
Wolfe Blitzer?
You have to fuck good.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like there's a sex move
could be called the blitzer.
I feel the same way about being named wolf
that I do about spitting in people's mouths.
Like, if you're the kind of person that's spitting in mouths,
you have to be good at fucking.
You can't be average.
You can't have a name like Wolf Blitzer
and be an average lay.
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 going to do election.
We're going to do bachelor.
We're going to do dating stories.
We're bringing back an old school game.
Yes.
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, but now I know, obviously. So we're going to play fuck Mary Kill. Okay. John King, of course,
Daddy Chris. Daddy Chris, Cuomo. No, Zaddy Chris. It's Daddy, Daddy, Andrew, and Zaddy Chris. And
Anderson Cooper, if he was straight. Oh my God. I know. Okay, Jake, Chrissy, Anderson. Or
John. John. John. John.
John, Chrissy, Anderson.
Straight Anderson.
Jake's not in there?
Stranderson.
How'd you know if it's Jake in there?
Jake's kind of my number one.
Jake Tapper is your number.
I think Jake Tapper's hot.
Jake Tapper is your number one?
And I don't even like older looking guy.
I mean, there are not, none.
There's no like young guys.
Actually, I love their little fact checker.
He's so nerdy cute.
Okay.
Okay.
He's not in it though.
Anderson Cooper is a beautiful man.
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 comes from. Oh shit.
Like billionaire status. Okay. Oh my gosh.
I'm going to fuck Chrissy. No competition.
Well, I want to see how he fuck. Yeah, that guy is picking you up, slamming you into a wall.
Yes. He is getting nasty with it. He's going to do a little choking, a little ass smacking.
Have you seen him without a shirt on? He might spit in your mouth.
The Cuomo brothers can get it. Okay. I think I can't kill Andrew. Like, I guess I would just
I feel like I want to marry John King.
So by default, I have to killers.
I can't.
Anderson Cooper I live for.
But I'm marrying Anderson Cooper.
Okay.
Because he's so rich.
Okay.
And he's so hard.
You can't separate from Johnny King.
I can't like go off brand from what I've been doing all week on my coverage of John King.
John King's been covering the election.
I've been covered John King.
But, okay, speaking of things that get me wet.
Yeah, let's talk about our week.
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 Raina Greenberg party, like normal.
There was no, like, people there.
No, but 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?
I'm like, bitch, first of all, there's five people coming over.
Please do not.
We cannot have a step and repeat for the election.
First of all, it would never be a Rain and Greenberg party without a Party City balloon bouquet.
So shout out to Party City.
Sure, here we are.
I did a giant balloon bouquet.
It was humiliating walking out the street with those.
But I did do a charcutory board that I submitted to Jared Freed.
Why is it?
It's charcutory.
That's how you say it.
We say Charcutor.
Okay, I'm not leaning into that, okay?
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 covered sharkutery coverage that day.
I made a beautiful board.
Two boards.
I overpurchased.
They were so stunning.
And if you guys don't know this, Jared Freed or Lord and Savior, he is the boardlord.
He rates charcutory boards.
So if you're not familiar with him, no big deal.
But this is this comedian and guy we love that, like, rates and judges and critiques
charcutory boards on Instagram.
and what he said about yours, first of all, he had nothing to critique besides the olives
and the pits, whatever.
He said, I want to shout out Freyna for her.
What, very nice attempt.
Very nice attempt.
He, is that the nicest thing he's ever said?
Yeah, but he can't, like I DM'd him responded to it and I said, very nice attempt.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
And he just wrote 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.
He keeps me in the game.
But he really still give you a great rating,
but he could not say, like, this is beautiful, this is incredible.
I just, I want to say my board was beautiful.
I overshod.
Very fine meats on both sides.
I overshod.
I got a good variety.
It was great.
Everybody was happy, all, like, two people who were there.
Girl, that one cheese.
I still can taste it.
I like that cheese.
What was that?
Andrew Collin took a whiff and thought he was going to throw up.
I love that cheese.
It's like a little, it's a consistency of Brie.
The rind is a little fun.
I will tell you what?
The fact that 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.
Raina, that cheese was horrible.
I still can't.
I can't get over it.
Like, it stayed in my throat all night.
I love that.
It stayed in my throat as long as the election coverage.
Listen, I spent, I'm bankrupt now.
I spent like $150 on a shirt, good report for you guys.
Because I love you so much.
I got balloons.
haven't deflated them yet. They're just going to live there. But it was nice. It wasn't a
Raina Greenberg normal party, but it was, you know, it was good enough. There's a 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 upset. Like when we go on trips and you have to monitor the plane.
That was me. I have to monitor the coverage up until 3 a.m. every night.
Ashley runs the business and monitors the news until 3 a.m.
Yeah. I'm the night shift. Yeah. You did great, sweetie.
But yeah. So we don't have to tell you guys.
we were all there, you know, news was on nonstop.
We already talked about our CNN's addies.
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.
And I just have to say that Saturday morning,
obviously I wake up, I lay in bed, I look at what's going on.
I'd maybe check Instagram, look at Twitter.
starting morning 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 what was going on. But what was trending on
Twitter was four seasons total landscaping. And I, Raina, nothing has been funnier to me in my
entire life. 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 a.m. at four seasons, Philly. Four seasons, Philly 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, I walk in the
apartment, I go, Ashley, I need you to explain this to me, because I thought it was a joke.
Okay. I can't, like, the tweets alone, like, and then people started showing photos of
four seasons, total 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 Giuliani in the parking lot
of a landscaping business
between the sex shop and the crematorium.
I can't what this happened.
I thought this was like the porn hub,
John King hoax.
No, they set it up.
They had to commit to it.
They just taped up a few like Trump signs
behind like a podium in this party line.
What if you and I thought we were performing at the four seasons,
we got all of our little girls to come out there.
We got to a stirball.
We were just in the dirt.
Like, hey guys, welcome to girls.
Got to eat.
Did you see?
So embarrassing.
I, like, late in bed last night,
I was like fully convulsing with laughter,
like not able to sleep about this.
My favorite tweet, I think I saw was the one that said,
hold on.
It was a picture of the,
of it.
It's just like this, you know, normal business.
And it said,
After two weeks of multiple health screenings and asking everyone to quarantine,
I surprised my,
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 if you don't know, that's a callback to Kim Kardashian's,
private island birthday.
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.
And that was a lie.
And then they had to sort of like figure out what to do.
I don't think that's what happened.
Most people are saying that like, whoever,
book 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 18 other COVIDs before it. Like, these people are idiots.
And like to see Giuliani in the parking lot of a four-season total landscaping talking about how
the election was fraudulent and that it's not over yet was the best thing of ever. I can't wait
to watch the 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. And I got to tell you,
so much four seasons total landscaping merch available.
A lot of people are selling four seasons total landscaping merch
and the profits are going to benefit the runoffs in Georgia in January.
Like, are they 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 this voters, turning Georgia blue.
If they're still county, we don't know what's going on down there.
But huge, she's our person in the week.
Want to say it.
Put it on wax.
I can't get over it.
I can't get over it.
You know, I've been stuck on this whole Rudy Giuliani thing all week
because I don't understand how it happened to him with the Borat movie.
Like, I don't understand how his, like, staff didn't, like, figure out that that was what was happening.
Because, okay, 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.
Four seasons.
Yeah, actually, by the first seasons.
Every time a political candidate specifically would come into the restaurant,
they would have, like, 50 staffers also come to the restaurant to check security.
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 making sure these 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 were like, shout out to the person that answered that call and didn't correct them.
Instead, they just booked a press conference in their parking lot.
Fuck around and find out.
Fuck around and find out.
Also, I cannot wait to stay at the four seasons Philly for popping off about we don't know
this. We don't know him. So that was my favorite thing. And then I'll tell how the next
like hour went and then I want to 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 I'm,
that's all I saw newswise. I put Dewey on his leash and we went out for his walk. And I'm, I had not,
I didn't have my phone. I hadn't turned 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. Going to
walk Dewey, 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. I did you read like, I can't believe they're bringing it back.
Oh my gosh. Sundays at 11. We just do that. I got to tell you, Andrew Carl said the mailmen 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 just happened. They just heard. And
people are opening their windows, they're screaming out into the streets. 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
New York. We know what's, 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, Woking, Dewey crying.
People are hanging out their windows. Everyone's screaming in the streets. This girl rushes
up to me. She's like, I'm a van. I grow. This girl's got to eat. We took a picture. Then this
other woman goes up to me. She goes, did we win? And I was like, yes. And her and I start screaming on a street
corner of me and this woman. And we're both wearing masks. And we're both wearing masks.
but I was like, can we hug?
Like, she had a dog too.
She was just outwalking her dog.
Like, that's, you hugged a person?
We like did it.
We did like a, you were like, I don't like that.
I didn't know if I would have hugged her.
I called my two friends in the building.
I was like, let's go up to the roof.
And Andrew Collin came over.
And then we like had a drink on the roof.
And then we went down in Washington Square Park.
Try to me up with you.
You're going to share your truth in a minute.
Obviously, I was texting you.
And you'll tell what you were doing.
But like, we were in the park.
It was great.
everybody was being safe wearing masks people were like letting lose the vibe 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 seen my
instagram stories and the most heartwarming messages i got were for people that like weren't feeling that
they were 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 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?
What time did you go to bed?
Three.
But that was my day. That's how I found
out. I will never forget it. I was
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. 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.
more. I know that was happening in other cities too, but
yesterday was truly one of the most
special days that I'll like ever remember. In my lifetime.
No, really, of my lifetime. I feel like
I have felt really low. I have felt hopeless. I felt really dark.
It's been really cold and just be 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 there was dancing and there was just people cheering all
through the city. And I feel like there's been so much hatred, so much negativity, so much ill will
towards each other. It just felt like this really beautiful day where people came together. And I woke
up yesterday morning and was like, okay, 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. So I was
not watching the news. I was sitting at my desk. Right. I feel like a lot of us took a break.
Raina, I love that you said that. I feel like a lot of people woke up and they were like,
it's Saturday. I can't do it. I got to take a break. I got to take a day off. You and I were
going to go to the park. We were going to like go a picnic. So I'm sitting at my
desk, I'm looking out the window, I like have my music on, I do not have the news on. All of a sudden
in the hallway, I hear people screaming. Oh my God, in the hallway. I'm like, fuck this building.
I moved here because it's all old people, okay? I moved here to specifically not have screaming
in the hallway. And so I look out the hallway and I'm like glaring these people. I go back in my,
and I sit down 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. And I live on the 11th floor of a building. So it's weird
for anything to be that high in the East Village. Like there's not a tall building. Yeah, you live in a high
And so I hear all this screaming and I see all these streamers.
It still has not occurred to me that, like, the president won.
Because I thought we were so far away from, like, actually figuring this out.
Also, I thought I would have been the first to know.
I was glued to the news for four days.
And I found out on the streets.
It's all I do.
So I go up to the roof.
I'm like, I just got to find out what's happening in here.
So then I hear the bells chiming on.
Go to the roof.
Half of my building's already up there.
Everyone is setting off all of these poppers, streamers, people are crying.
There's champagne everywhere.
My neighbor was up there, which I spent the whole day.
day with. We'll talk about it. I immediately just start getting drunk. I am so happy. I'm
texting everybody. I'm like drunk by 11.30. There's bagels. There's locks 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 then I met up with
all these Australian people who are just categorically hotter than Americans. And I spent the whole day
doing that. It was great. I tried to meet up with you, but I was in a drunk hall. Yeah. But I will
say I ran into so many listeners of the podcast in Washington Square Park and it was so nice to see people.
We just did a mean greet for like an hour. It was great. You did the girls got to eat snackhead bonding
that day. I did it all week long in the DMs. 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 or all these things. And so
tons of messages like that from people and then people all over the world as well. It was really,
really special. So shout out to you guys. We love you so much. And we kind of want to talk about
what this election means. Yeah. Raina's story is to be to continue.
Where are you dating stuff later in the episode? This is the whole thing I got to talk to me last night
that was crazy. You don't know about. So we're going to get into it. We're going to talk about
the bachelor. We're going to do all this stuff. But I, you know, I, you know, I, 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.
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 our Elizabeth Warren episode. You're welcome to go back and listen.
Fan of him, a Delaware guy, happy that he won. And Kamala Harris, like, just, we have a woman in the White House.
Like, it's unprecedented, 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 doing it. We're moving in the right direction. It's so beautiful to see. I'm so happy.
that this happened and 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. It's so crazy. Also, I love that our CNN's
daddies 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. And that's kind of the message 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 that there was zero empathy, the disrespect,
the undermining of our democracy, the family separated the border, the denying of science,
the complete mismanagement of a pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. And the
people who voted for him were all okay 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. I want to hold space for that. This election doesn't
just magically fix these things 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 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. We had Jamila 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, right,
that they can change. People can shift 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.
It's not realistic.
Some people will obviously never change.
It's just not the nature of humanity.
So I'm not trying to come across naive or like 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 Kamala Harris 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 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 are.
We all want a strong economy, jobs, better health care, better education systems.
Like, we all want those things, preserving the environment.
Like, these are positive things.
They're not 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. Our goal is still to empower
you and 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 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.
It's never too late for people to change.
Yeah, and to get back on the same team again.
I haven't felt like this country is a team in a very long time.
And to watch Joe Biden 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 in 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 waves a magic wand
and changes things so deeply.
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. 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 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.
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 discussions.
So thank you for doing that.
I feel like yesterday was really a great move for the future.
Yeah.
We're on the right track.
Like 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. We hope you guys too. And we're also going to keep making
jokes because it's still a comedy podcast and laughter is important no matter what. So we're
going to keep doing that. I might throw a little shade here and there. You know, we're not going
soft. So don't get a 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.
Whatever.
But I'm excited and I'm hopeful for the future.
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.
Season 52.
How many seasons have they been?
I don't know.
I've been watching it since I was in college.
So just like five years.
it's a newer show.
I had people over in my apartment.
I actually had Ashley Gavin and Robbie who were on our show.
I was like, can you guys please get the fuck out so I can watch this?
So really important thing happened this week.
Let's give a quick, in case you're just under a rock and you were busy with, I don't know,
the election coverage, whatever.
The Bachelorette has been on.
We've talked about it on a few episodes.
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 it may be.
the whole thing is that there was a woman.
She was the Bachelorette named Claire 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 2018.
You want to go back and listen 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 happened before again,
but watching the show for a few years.
And it's been fucking crazy.
And that on Thursday night,
so 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 her and Dale are together, allegedly.
Yeah, they knew each other for five days and they're like, this is it.
And you guys obviously wanted us to talk about it. I want to talk about it with all due respect
to Dale, who is someone that is our friend and his new fiancé, fiance, I guess.
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. 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. 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 okay on your own. And I think she's been through a lot. Want to give her credit.
This is still not hating on Claire. I wish them the best. I truly do. This isn't like I have a crush on
Dale. That's a bit. I mean, I haven't even talked to. I've been waiting for People magazine to pick up
the fact that Ashley Haslett Tyn is commenting on everyone at Dale's post being like,
I'm right here, true queen back back.
I'm trying to get some press.
Thank you for what you're doing for the show.
But now I don't actually have a crush on Dale.
If I did, I wouldn't be in his comments like I have been.
That would be very weird.
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.
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 to change the way the people look because I have been made to look like I said things.
I didn't fucking say.
But I do think that.
You did say you'd listen that song and repeat though, even though, Cosmo.
Yeah.
Thank you for bringing that up.
No, I get it though.
Yeah, like I begged men to love me.
They might have got her at a weak moment.
100% and maybe that's 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 that was displayed on television
because it wasn't a good luck you know it was disappointing
yeah 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.
And then she just like didn't pick him.
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, fuck him.
He better win Tasha.
Yes.
Those dates were very deep and odd.
And I was like, can we get some like light sexy stuff?
We've been thrown off.
It's 2020.
But that was just one part of it.
But yeah, I love that you said that.
Like it was just we, we didn't exactly get what they probably,
what they probably thought we were going to, honestly.
Yeah.
They were probably like, what the fuck?
Is she acting like this?
I didn't know half the guys on the show.
I still don't know.
By the time they got to the end,
I was just like, who are these people?
The only people I knew were the people that she interviewed to say,
what did Dale 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 is a really crazy powerful thing.
So in terms of her like being quote unquote disrespectful
and not wanting to spend time with other guys,
I fucking get it.
You know what I mean?
If she actually fell in true love
this person, I get it, but it was a lot. It was a lot. And it seemed that she, okay,
here's what I thought was going to happen. I thought that like, I thought her and 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, a boatload 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.
For sure. Specific type of people go on television to be, you know, like they're, I'm
I think that they're compatible.
I understand the proposals at the end.
I understand people meet your families.
You travel together.
You fucked a bunch.
I get it.
This season,
I just expected them to be like,
we know you guys have known each other five days.
So like there's no need to like do this proposal thing.
I thought there'd be like some discussion between like Dale and Claire where they were like wink wink, wink, nudge, like we're not going to really get engaged.
Like it's not a normal thing to like, you know.
How many days did they know each other week?
I am with you.
I got to say, I did not know a proposal was happening.
I thought they were going to be like, you two can leave the show together.
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?
I guess obviously makes sense.
That's what The Bachelor's all about.
Of course they're going to hit you with that.
But I was shook.
I did not.
No.
And she seemed to fully buy into it.
He didn't even know her parents' names.
She seemed to fully buy into it.
She's crying.
She's shaking.
She meant that.
She's in it.
And she,
where she's...
Dale looks at her as like,
I guess we're doing it.
Yeah.
I guess I'm going to do it.
And then I have never seen a more lackluster.
I don't give me shit about this.
And she's like, you're stuck with me forever.
And he's like, how long until this filming ends?
She's like, Claire Moss.
I was like, oh, God.
When she said that too, I was like, oh my God.
She's like, how good is this ring look?
It's like, Dale's like,
okay we fucked for the first time yesterday
for five days. Can we like maybe
go to lunch together?
Like it was very odd in lackluster.
I know and I again
like if they are super in love like
we we love Dale we support him
like this 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 don't know
the point of the engagement was but I'm going to shut this down
in two seconds I promise but 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
I don't think that the expectation of these two was getting it.
And I, by the way, do feel like, that's what,
ratings, you know what I mean?
Like, they had to.
They had to.
This is the show.
You're going to leave here.
We're going to let you leave.
Neil Lane's going to get involved.
Neil's like, I'm going to sue you.
I'm going to sue if you don't do it.
I fully believe when I was first, you know, I met somebody this year who I, like, met
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.
Right.
Like, you know, like I got to know this person a little more.
And I was like, oh, you've mental issues.
We're not going to get married.
Yeah.
I mean, we could do a whole episode on Love at First Sight.
You can, Love at First Sight is a coincidence.
Love It for Sight is like a feeling you feel about somebody.
Then it actually happens to you're compatible.
You know what I mean?
Like, 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?
And, you know, I'm sure a lot of people are like,
what do you expect? She's almost 40. 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 message me in there like, I'm getting a trauma
bond between the two of them, which is not a bad thing and 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. Nobody, you don't have to get married, you know? I thought that
I just, I had to hope that they were just going to be like, okay, we're just going to date.
Girl, I got to tell you. I guess I'm doing it. Was like, they're just going to leave.
Like, they're going to leave and now Tasha's going to come in. Like, so I was like, we get an
hour of this and Altaisha, like, and then it was a whole proposal. I was like, what?
Also, what if you got proposed to like in the courtyard of the Lakinta?
Girl, those memes were fire. It said like every girl's dream proposal and it said the Lakinta.
I didn't see those. Okay, this is a total independent thought. That's hysterical. Oh, you did it?
No, 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 at the Laikinta.
Like, she's just outside her like one bedroom suite.
look at it.
I wish we had some intel for you guys.
Sorry, don't damn us.
You'll talk to Dale.
Yeah, we'll let you guys know as long as we don't get sued by anybody.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's talk about dating stuff on our dating show.
Go off.
I feel like it's just been so dismal lately in the world.
And now I'm excited to talk about dating.
Get back out.
Don't you dare.
I got back under a 6-15 guy last week.
You did.
It was like a month ago at this point.
Was it?
No, it was two weeks ago.
It was a month ago.
I had my period.
I'm due again this week.
Oh, I'm due for my period too.
So I'm alive.
Did you get fucked?
On an air mattress.
Wait, what?
God, it was an air mattress.
Listen, he didn't have any furniture yet.
Right?
We're not talking about this.
I am going to talk about it at the live show, so buy tickets.
Okay.
Yes.
So dating.
Dating in this world right now.
I have a crazy story to tell you.
I have a day tomorrow. You have a date tomorrow. Can 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. 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 Behole related. It was Vera and Brand. I wanted you guys to see it. I wanted to lift your spirits. And it did. A lot of you guys got invested. And we have a day.
tomorrow. Allegedly. Again, 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. But I want to hear what happened to you yesterday.
I had a whole day. I like disappeared into a drunk fog with this guy and I'm so excited to
tell you about you about who wise. They know. They know.
So we're going to update you guys.
If you haven't been following along for two years, I've been sleeping on my neighbor for two years.
And just like an update on where we stand now.
You've been in a two-year-long relationship.
March 2020 is two years, right?
March, 2021.
Well, we'll get to it.
And if you guys, if 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 the 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.
enjoy each other's company. And then I told him that I was going back to Pittsburgh to quarantine,
and I just never went. And he raised. And he lips and he's your neighbor. He's actually an area
he lives directly above me. So he knows what I'm home. So that's the latest with him.
I haven't seen him for months. 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.
He didn't look good. Yesterday you look good. No, I'm judging you. But okay, yesterday he looked good. He had a
up in a week. He did. I don't know what happened. He shaved and he bought new clothing. So yesterday I saw him.
I go up to the roof. I'm like, God damn it. He's here. But like, I'm like, okay, 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. You were? Okay. Well, I tried to fuck my neighbor. And I go up. I see him. He looks
cute. He looks cute. He's got like a cute bandana on cute glasses. We're drinking. I'm kind of
drunk. He's like, do you want to take a walk? We'll go to Washington Square Park. And I'm like,
he looks really cute. Okay. So I go change. I put some makeup on. And I don't know if you guys. I don't
know if you guys know this or if I've talked about this. I have talked with a little one of the
podcast. 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 and I was like,
oh shit, I want to grab beer too. And he's like, I'll get you some from the apartment. I was like,
I'll get you some from the apartment. I was like a part me yesterday for the first time.
Before you set out or before we set out into the world. Okay. I wanted to get some beers to just
walk around. I saw his apartment for the first time. What is it? It was just a lot of surfboards.
It was like a thousand surfboard.
surfboard and
and guitars
and it was messy
and
like what was his
couch like
it was just a leather
big dark leather
like a man couch
I cannot
overstate
it wasn't a futon
no I can't
overstate the amount
of surfboards
what are you 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 doing it does he run a surf shop
out of there. No, he's like a surfer. That's what he likes to do. You need that many? I guess,
I don't know how surfing works. I don't know. I do yoga. I have one mat. I have to.
I don't know for different climates. So we go to his apartment. I see his apartment for the first time.
I'm like, oh my God, like we're doing it. And we went down. We took a walk. I'm like this like
drunk haze with this guy. We're like dancing through the streets. It's so fun. We go to Washington
Square Park. I like make him do the meet and greet with all the girls that keep running up to us.
Like he's taking the photos of like me and all of our fans.
Oh my God.
And he like looks so cute.
He's such a mundane.
He was like,
I'm going to go meet my friends.
Do you want to come with me?
He's like,
I'm going to meet my friends in the West Village.
So his business partner was coming.
A bunch of his other friends.
So we go to the West Village.
We're like hanging out in this bar with a big group of people.
One of our other neighbors comes.
There's maybe like eight of us.
It's really fun.
Outdoors drinking beer.
I've ordered a ton of drinks on this tab.
A ton of alcohol on this tab.
Food, whatever.
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 late 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 was that girl?
And she goes, oh, that's his girlfriend.
No.
Yeah.
What?
Like, what do you mean?
It's his girlfriend.
I've spent the whole day with him.
By the way, he wasn't fingering me in the street
he didn't do anything wrong.
Like he's perfectly welcome to spend time with somebody.
He's a girlfriend.
Girlfriend.
Yeah, spend time with somebody he fucked for two years.
Okay.
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.
So they're like serious enough.
They're taking a two-month trip tomorrow together.
And this girl's 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 the drinks.
You did?
I didn't offer $1.
I left all my food on the table.
And I just left.
And guys, she didn't even.
meet up with me.
No, I did.
I hate you.
I wanted to see you yesterday.
I wanted to see you too.
I was like, am I mad about this?
Can I be mad at this?
This was like, I feel like this is his way of getting back at me for telling him during
a pandemic that I was leaving town to quarantine and just never.
You've done a lot to hurt his ego.
I deserved it.
I mean, you said fucking me like you mean it and not in a sexy way.
Yeah, well, I meant that.
And then you stuck a dildo in his butt with no loo.
I mean, you've done.
You deserve.
You have this coming.
He's been waiting for this moment for years.
He was like, I'm going to fuck with this girl all day.
I'm going to get all juiced up.
I'm going to look like a human being for once.
I'm going to look all hot.
I'm going to introduce her to all my friends and my business partner.
And then my girlfriend's going to show up and sit on my lap in front of her.
One foot away from me.
Was she pretty?
I didn't even look at her in the face.
You just like I got to go.
I literally saw like a cute little like blonde her girl sit down in his lap.
My neighbor goes, that's his girlfriend.
And I just got up and left.
This is bananas.
I was so excited to tell you.
Were there other prospects with him?
You said there was like a cute guy or that was like a cute guy.
or that was like his business partner.
You're not going to fuck a business partner.
Now I am going to.
Yeah, now you will.
Now I'm going to definitely fuck his business partner.
Yeah,
it was hot.
It was shocking.
It was one of those moments
it doesn't even hit you how shocking it is until it's over.
Yeah.
Like this morning I was like,
that was kind of crazy, right?
Like there was one stool in between me and him 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.
I deserve that.
You did.
You did.
She deserved it.
I wouldn't do it to him.
That was a pretty fucked up thing
that spent the whole day with me
and not mention that she's coming.
It's really weak.
You just,
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.
Right, you're not.
I just thought like I was going to get laid
and you should have given me a heads up
that I wasn't.
Right.
Like, I'm in this apartment
with all these fucking weird surfboards.
Like, I'm trying to fuck.
So that was my day.
Okay.
Here's what happened to me.
Okay.
I don't know anything about this.
Okay, 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
rose water in my face, whatever.
Me and this guy made out in the street.
I was looking forward to going out with them 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 it anymore because I actually don't even 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.
You know, I would definitely like fuck this guy and go out with him again, whatever.
And so the next morning after we, like, had this great date and the street makeout, he was like had such a fun time last night.
What are you up to this weekend?
And, you know, 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?
It was so boring.
It wasn't good banter.
He wasn't sending me memes or anything.
It was just like, what are you up to today?
It was fucking stupid.
Like here's the sandwich I ate today.
Yeah.
And I just feel like I guess I could have asked him out.
I just wasn't feeling it.
I was like, I think I wanted to put in a little more effort.
You know, like so I just finally got annoyed.
Like I was just like, whatever.
A week or so, I'm by, a 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.
And it was, do you want to get a drink again? Do you want to go out again? Like he asked me out again.
And I hadn't heard 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.
He doesn't really owe me anything.
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 had a hot makeout.
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 is this?
And he was like, I don't know if you're kidding or not.
And I was just like, please give me your information.
You know, like, I just fucked with 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 just was, I was over it. And I said to him after like three days
post, do you want to go out again? I said, I'm in Delaware with family. I'll be back in a
couple 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 Guy Wynch 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.
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 to death.
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 if it's not even fun banter.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
I'll talk to you.
Yes, I can.
A week can fly by if we're bantering.
Like, it wasn't that.
I was getting annoyed with 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.
You know, I haven't even talked about that date.
He was kind of pussyfooting around and making vague comments about wanting to meet up.
Yeah, it's annoying.
You got to shut that shit down.
I finally was like, are you just going to, like, make these vague comments or are we going to actually go out?
And we went out.
So, I mean, it works.
That's 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.
I think that was like now at this point.
I think that was like September 21st was that last,
I looked back last night.
That was that last thing where I was like,
hey, let's go out.
Nothing.
And I don't think that there's anything,
by the way, if the girls have tried this and it didn't work,
there's nothing to be embarrassed of.
You should shut this down.
And if somebody is like, fuck you after that, then bye.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So like entertain your lame-ass text
until you deem that I'm good enough to go out with again.
Bye.
I didn't roast you.
I didn't amasculate you.
I gave you a winky face.
I made it clear.
I want to see you again too.
Done and done.
heard from again. Last night, at 2.30 in the morning, I get a text from him. I'm on Instagram
stories, like, doing my thing. So it came through and it took me a minute to like finish doing
something until I could look. I thought he knows I am a Biden supporter, a liberal person. We've had
a crazy day in New York. He's going to say, like, what a crazy day. I hope I'm sure you're celebrating,
right? Yeah. His test.
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 for Clemson to play Notre Dame
and lose in double overtime was heartbreaking.
I am jaw on the floor.
He cannot play this.
He didn't text me as in good game.
He texted me, we beat you guys.
What?
And then he goes, sorry, you're the only Clemson person I know.
Well, of course, that's what it is.
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.
But we lost.
Exactly.
In a really shitty way.
Like, we lost because of COVID, right?
We lost because Trevor Lawrence got COVID.
And we lost to this team.
Like, in double overtime in this, like, of course, I mean, you have to,
eventually lose. But Clemson's, you know, Clemson's number one. Like, they'll probably still come out on top,
like, once Trevor recovers, but like, are you, dude, are you kidding me? I am shook.
Shuck. 3rd. Raina, 2.30 in the morning. By the way, by the way,
there was nothing else he could think of to talk to you about yesterday. Not one thing. He was like,
that's the thing. I'm going to land on. 2.30 in the morning. This guy is on crack. No, fuck
no. Fuck no. I did respond. What do you think was going on in his mind this morning when he
woke up.
Like, do you think he looked at his phone and was like, I can't believe all the things I could
have texted at 2 a.
I am.
Like, at least try to get some pussy.
Again, we're talking about football guys.
Not a big deal.
Like, in the grand scheme of the world.
Like, 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, like, the fact that he came in two months after.
To neg you at 2.30 in the morning.
To neg me at 2.20 in the morning.
on the best day ever, on the best day of 2020.
Ruin my day.
This guy's like, I'm going to slide it and ruin it at the last possible moment.
He's like, she's on Instagram stories.
She's up.
Time to ruin it.
Yeah.
I don't even know if he's on Instagram, but yeah, he could have seen me just like posting away
and was like, I'm about to hit her up.
What a little kind.
Like, it wasn't even like, sorry about your loss.
It was like just a reminder that Notre Dame beat you guys.
Ha, ha, ha.
Anyway, you're the only person I know to say this too.
I don't know.
Why don't you talk to your Notre Dame friends?
Why don't you go on an online messaging board?
Okay, strangers would be better than this.
Go on Reddit.
Bye.
Bye.
Also, the funny part is that this guy didn't cross 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 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.
I guess he thought about me during the last.
the game and hit me up at 2 a.m.
That is his, I'm so glad you told me.
I'm so glad you didn't tell me until right now.
I am shook.
Anyway, so high hopes for this dude tomorrow.
I'm really excited about it.
But I'm glad that you brought this up 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 COVID world.
We're dating outside.
The weather's changing.
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 said
like in our DMs, 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.
But I feel like it's the opposite of like feeling bad.
You don't have anything going on.
It's like, no one has anything going on.
No one spent the summer in Europe.
No one's been promoted at their jobs.
No one's like killing it in the world.
Like, I feel like the playing field is kind of leveled right now.
Like, we've all gotten a little more humble.
We've all had to really.
realize what really matters and what's important. 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. And if you don't feel comfortable
dating, then don't. You know, like I do feel comfortable going in 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 too. 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, geez, eight months at this
point, seven months, like since March. And there is a renewed sense of optimism for a lot of people
right now for most of 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. Or sleeping again. We're all getting a full eight or in your case of full five.
Yeah, still a full 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 prompts and your opening lines
and things like that. And again, just like shoot your shot 20-20. Like, it's go time. Let's
fucking go. Like, just shoot your shot. Get out there on the apps. I tell Raina all the time.
I'm 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.
Okay. So we are safe. We did a dog style and he's nowhere near me. Doggy style. Huge dig.
Yes. It just, he actually got, his dick touched you from six feet away. That's how big it was.
It was pretty big. You were distanced. Dick stanced. So I just think, get out there, shoot your shot.
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
bit in this crazy world for 2020. 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? Or like, you know, what was your election
coverage like? Or like, I like to ask, like, what was, what did you do in March? You know,
mid-March, like, what did you do 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? Did you, you know,
where'd 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. We all had this shared experience
that was a lot of ups and downs.
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 these tough conversations about,
like, whose parents do we go to?
What a better time when you can use the excuse of my parents don't feel comfortable
with you being in the house.
So you don't even have to worry about going home with people for the holidays.
Yeah.
And if you, you know, don't want to spend the holidays with your family
because you no longer like them.
Like them.
Then just spend it with your new man or your new woman.
So I think there's a renewed sense of optimism.
And that's kind of where we're at 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.
Okay.
And then just speaking of the holidays, I think that we would be remiss to not at least just talk about going on for the holidays for one second.
Then we're going to do a fun game.
But 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. It's not just like, you know, just ignore it. It's not a big deal. Like, it's
really hard, for example, this is 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. 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'm fine with my dad behavior. Again, I'm 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 right.
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. And my heart like hurts for you and my heart goes out
for you and you have my full support and sympathy. I don't have 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 and the way that you
think. So that's your prerogative. I've done it. I've cut people out of my life. Family's different.
Immediate family is very different. I mean, we have our chosen,
family, but 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 Heseltines could welcome you into our home for the holidays. Guys, 10-10 can't
recommend going to Heseltines for the holidays. So it's just like I've never had to really do it.
And we tell you guys to have these tough conversations, but I also can't like 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.
She's like my dad's like pissed and it's like a thing.
And I have one friend that's really separated from her father completely over a lot of
this stuff.
And it's,
it's really tough.
It,
the fact that families could 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,
my like group of like seven friends are all just like so brilliant.
And I was just a lot of them had dealt with this.
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,
It was just so brilliant.
She said, she mentioned this woman.
She said, Dolly Chu, C-H-U-G-H might be an amazing podcast guest.
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.
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, then you can at least signal to vulnerable parties.
present that you won't be a party to whatever offensive or untruthing they're spouting.
So you can either be in dialogue or at minimum be a boundary setter to unacceptable behavior.
She says, 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.
we watch the 13th? 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've talked to 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 legit been torn apart.
You know, they're also unkind, unsupportive people. And that's why we have our chosen families too.
And then like, Kate jumped in and was like, chosen family for the win. Like it was just
like a moment. 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. 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 you're 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 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
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 criticisms,
because I think that we've had those conversations at this point.
You don't have to go home.
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 go or to ask for, you know, silence at this time.
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 want to pay more taxes.
We pay a shit ton in taxes.
I don't want to pay anymore, I'm still going to vote for Biden.
You know what I mean?
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.
Okay, 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?
I just feel like they've been ingesting a lot of this propaganda.
And it's like, we've had Democratic president 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 have people come at me in the craziest ways in my DMs, attacking me, cursing me out,
putting words in my mouth.
I'm never going to listen to that.
That's not how you get through to somebody.
And I also have people 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. 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.
So that is going to wrap this up.
We're going to move on.
So thanks guys for being here.
We were a really fun game.
And the spirit of things turn around.
around. Yes. In the spirit of Pennsylvania and Georgia, that took a turn. Pennsylvania,
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, a very blue-collar town, it's a
steel town, it's not a place that you would expect to go democratic. I said, we're going to
stop talking about the election. Here we are. Whatever. I just, you know, I'm proud to be from Pennsylvania.
Yeah, same with spending 10 years in Georgia in Fulton County.
went blue and I didn't know that was my sexual fantasy until this election cycle.
So then shout it to Cece Abrams again, purse in the week.
Okay, we're getting into it.
We're doing, well, I call it that took a turn.
I say this took a turn, which is what it's labeled as in our email.
I don't know what it's called.
All right, whatever.
I called this took a turn.
You say that took a turn.
Either way.
We're about to take some turns.
Potato, potato.
Yes.
Okay.
So these are our listeners, email submissions of situations, mostly dating sex related, that
took a turn. Do you want to kick it off? Yes, I do. Okay. I've gone on a first day with this guy and
it went pretty well. Later that week, he invited me over to his place. We were making out and things
were getting pretty steamy when he suddenly stops and says, oh, by the way, I'm a communist.
What?
Safe to say I dipped shortly after.
Communists, not socialist, not anarchist.
Do those communists? Like, what is it? Where do you? Russia? Okay. I don't, it's just, it's
It's a weird thing to stop.
I think she misheard him.
Oh, by the way.
Where he likes, is there a world where he didn't say that?
Oh, by the way, I'm going to come in this.
Ooh.
You misheard him, girl.
No, I don't know.
But that took a turn.
I think you misheard him.
Okay.
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.
Okay.
We need a safe word here.
That's my vibe.
We need a safe word.
he stops eventually and suggests we do 69.
So I'm like, okay, 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.
Okay, that guy wants to fuck a dead person.
That's what that guy's fetishes.
He is a necrophilia.
Who imagine?
Who do we talk about with 69?
On top?
On top.
I don't know.
Who is out here wanting that?
The more I think about it.
I would never. A guy's just on top of you.
How do you breathe? How do you get any range of motion?
There's ball sack on your head. There's a huge gut on your forehead.
I don't understand how anybody does this.
No, absolutely not.
Okay. I was seeing a guy for like six months or so and things seemed to be going pretty well.
We would hang out and go on dates regularly. Sex was great.
He loved hanging out with my friends and I loved hanging out with his, etc., etc. Okay, so that's going great.
We hadn't really talked about where we stood in regards to how serious was, but we were literally always together, so I didn't think much of it.
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.
Insane.
I am shook.
I didn't read this out of time.
This fucking wild.
Oh, this is the first you're seeing this?
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, that was just bad timing.
But I just, I think she's so cute and I would love to go out with her.
What?
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. This isn't so far in the realm. Because I just think like men are
fucking crazy. And 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 you ask if you can take their friend, their best friend,
their roommate out. I am shook. If we're in the drive-thru at McDonald's, I don't want to hear this
from you. What are you talking about my roommate? I can't get over that one. True or false, but we're
just going to, you know, we're going to believe it. Okay. Next email. I brought home this guy from a bar
pre-COVID. We're hooking up, falling around, goes down on me instantly, was going all good.
When everything was said and done, he looked up at me and said, I reminded him him his friend.
Weird, but all right. I said, as long as it's a good thing, he started to ball his eyes out and
told me his friend was dead.
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 looked like his dead friend.
I didn't know how to react.
Girl, I'm as uncomfortable as you are.
He 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 she was like, here take this feels.
I like that she gave him a gift.
She's like, please go.
Okay, listen, I'm not laughing because his friend died.
Of course not.
Because it was five years ago.
It's an odd thing to bring up and have it be half a decade ago and be crying to my pussy about it.
I can understand, doesn't matter how long ago the friend died.
I can understand it being triggering.
If someone looks just like your friend that passed away, that's a traumatic incident, 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?
That's fair.
I'm sorry for my insensitivity.
No, I'm just saying, like, why did he take it there?
He should have been like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, looks too much like Jennifer.
I can't go there.
So I'm sorry, girl.
It's your favorite one.
Okay.
Started dating somewhere in my friend group and it was going really well.
Then a couple months into dating, he started acting really weird and distant.
So the next time I saw him in person, I asked what was going on, and he said he had just
found out that he had gotten a previous one-night stand pregnant, dot, dot, dot, 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 were done.
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.
So as dating made things entirely too complicated.
Okay.
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 his.
I repeat, the fucking twins were not his.
There were many more details of 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.
I want to know who's twins.
Who are those twins?
That is nuts.
Can you imagine you like break up with this girl that you like, and you like change your whole life?
You try to like raise these kids and then you find out you are not the father.
You are the father of two kids, not just one but two.
I love that she wrote, I repeat the fucking twins.
I know.
I lost it.
Best of luck to that family.
Okay.
I was talking to my man who's not my man about how years ago he hooked up with my best friend who was now my roommate.
It was a drunken hookup years before we were even really friends.
So it's all good.
We were casually talking and teasing each other about it when he just slyly slid in.
Ha, ha, yeah.
And what's even worse is that we're cousins?
Well, that took a backwoods banjo playing turn.
I was not expecting.
He assured me that they really are only like second or third cousins by marriage.
So it's not that weird, right?
Right?
If it's not that weird, don't bring it up.
Why'd you even tell me?
This is crazy.
He's like, he were cousins.
But no, no, no, no, it's not even like that.
It's like, it's like, why did you tell me to begin with?
I can't live.
Okay, I'm so excited to read this too.
I can't hype it enough.
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'd crawl up in bed.
We'd talk late into the night.
We'd hook up.
I started catching feels and was up front 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,
girls are 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, noticed there was a
full on vision board of how to get his ex back. No! Plastered to the entire door,
complete with affirmations on how to win her over and photo collages of them. And then
she writes, nothing humbles you like an ex-girlfriend vision board when you're half naked.
Which can you imagine?
A vision board of the affirmations about another woman in his bedroom.
First of all, the vision board alone is crazy.
I wish she took pictures.
The how to get your ex-back vision board is insane.
If we had a picture, oh my gosh.
Girl, go back.
Please send us the picture.
We need the receipt.
We found this email like two seconds before we started recording.
What a gem.
Oh, I was so excited to read this too.
Oh, 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.
What?
What kind of STD makes your stomach expand, makes you gain 50 pounds, and your whole body changes?
I can't.
She's like, my nipples are leaking.
It's an STD.
Like, you know, there's like, I didn'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.
Shit changes.
What?
I gotta know, too.
What, let's take weight loss out of it.
What STD was it that you thought you had and you turned out to be pregnant?
What are, what?
You're throwing up every morning, your nipples are leaking and she's like, it's herpes.
Because these are like, something's going on down there, stuff that doesn't happen when you're
pregnant.
Those are two different sets of symptoms.
100% symptoms.
I mean, pregnancy is on disease.
Well, I mean, depends on it.
Look, I'm kidding.
She could have been talking without a condom all that time.
I, all right, seven months.
Listen, no judgment, a little bit of judgment.
Little bit of judgment.
We're not judging.
We're kind of judging.
But I hope that you went to some birthing classes and your kids okay.
And I hope you know who the dad is.
Unlike that girl, the twins.
I repeat, the twins were not his.
All right, guys, that took a turn.
Quite like the election.
I want to again say thank you to John King for everything.
Biden Harris 2020.
We thank you guys.
I thank everybody that was chatting with me last week.
We love all of you guys so much.

We hope you guys are self-caring.

I don't know.
