Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. Each week, we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and

see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicist for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stiller, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, good morning.

Good morning, everyone. Well, it's not really morning. who knows when people are listening to this, but some of them are probably listening in the morning. So good morning to you guys. Good afternoon to the people that listen in the afternoon. And if you're listening to a podcast at night, well, then a good evening, Brandon. Hello. There has been a lot in the news and it's very upsetting. Sha'Carri Richardson was tested for cannabis at the trials for the Olympics after she won or before she won, who knows. And

now she is not going to perform her relay at the olympics or compete in her relay at the olympics so this is another sports organization that is completely antiquated and not up to fucking speed and needs an update along with the world tennis association whatever the tennis association is for europe european tennis all of it between naomi osaka between this the two different things but Actually not. It's all about helping yourself cope with something. And this woman's mother died. Sha'Carri Richardson's mother died and she was using cannabis to help herself and ameliorate her pain and now is not going to be able to compete in the Tokyo Olympics because of that. So you can drink alcohol, but you can't smoke something that grows out of the ground from

Mother Earth because that is punishable by being eliminated from the Olympics. So sports needs a big update, a real update. And I don't know if anyone saw me on the shop on HBO, but I was around a bunch of sports figures for the first time in my life. And so there was Tom Brady was there and Draymond Green, who I've loved. He and I, yeah, that's my kind of guy. And now I feel like I do know a lot about sports so I'm going to start commenting on it because of that experience I spent at least two hours with those guys and I don't think there's anything I can't answer now about basketball football mahjong also Britney Spears Britney Spears's father is still her conservator because a judge denied Britney Spears request to not have her father be

conservator so there's that how do you feel about that brandon well i think that that is laird from my understanding laird hamilton laird hamilton he's in control he's the new co-conservator the paperwork that was filed in november was to remove jamie as her conservator jamie's her dad right yes um and so it was that paperwork that was actually just recently ruled on so her attorney has not yet filed to have the conservatorship completely dismantled from my understanding so a lot of this like the paperwork gets filed and then it takes x amount of time for the judge to either approve or deny it so it was the last submission to have jamie removed that was denied so now they have to refile to take her out of the conservatorship what like an appeal

situation from my understanding well that's well that's his judgment was that she's denied so she has to appeal that denial. But that's not very hopeful. I mean, it's the same judge unless she goes to an above court. Oh, right. Maybe she'll go to a different circuit or whatever it is. I saw that she was also recently invited by Congress to give her testimonial and experience with the conservator program in California. Well, that should be something. But doesn't her father have to fucking let her go to Washington, D.C. to testify in front of Congress? And is he going to allow that? Well, there are apparently there are two different types of conservators over Brittany. There's the conservator over her person and a

conservator over her estate. Jamie, her father, is apparently the conservator over her estate. So all of her money matters go through him. Over her as a person is Jody Montgomery, who is an outside conservator who is supposed to be in place really as Brittany's advocate. So the fact that she said in her testimony that she can't get married or take out her IUD means there's either a disconnect and communication, or people aren't being truthful with the type of control they have over her. There are a lot of aspects to this. So I think it's going to be a few months before we see how her recent testimony plays out. Two pretty, well, three, Bill Cosby's out of jail. That's another disgusting development on a technicality. So while they don't dispute that he's guilty of what he

did because of a technicality, he was let out of jail. So that's the state of affairs in this country, you guys. Well, not this country because IOC is an international committee, but that's the state of the world right now. Well, and now this Delta strain. And the Delta strain. But back to these three stories are all examples of white men making the rules and deciding what's best in the interest of women. What are we talking about today, sweetheart? What are we talking about today let me look well this is an interesting story i think we have two lipstick lesbians and they're trying to figure out who proposes to who is it who or whom who proposes to whom and i don't i don't know in that situation no nor do i i always wonder about that i guess

whoever is the dominant in the relationship or well because they're sexually dominant and then there's emotionally dominant right yeah okay what else are we talking about we have a submission that we get from a lot of people just feeling lost in life. We're going to find you. We, you're found. Consider, forget hashtag problem solved. Hashtag you're found.

And tattoo removal. You don't have any tattoos, right? Not that I'm aware of, but I do have something sticking to my butt. I went out with Joe Coy the other night and we got, we got very, very silly and wasted. And he, I came home and I had a big sticker stuck to my ass.

And every time I go in the shower, a little bit more comes off, But I don't know where it came from, who put it there or how long it's going to last, apparently, or how long it's going to be there. So I may have a tattoo. Who knows? Joe Coy is my friend from Chelsea Lately. He used to be a comedian that was on the roundtable all the time for Chelsea Lately. And I called him and I was like, you know what? I want to go over to his house because I wanted to see he's building his house and I'm building something.

So I thought, oh, let me see what he's doing. And then I got there while I was driving there. I asked him for the address. He said, please don't come. Please don't come. I don't want you to see my house like this. And I was like, Oh, shut up. I said, give me the address. So I got in the car and I started driving to his house and like, you know, 10, 20 minutes in, I'm like, this is where am I going to the Valley? And then I looked at the address

and I was still 17 minutes away and I just couldn't do it. So I turned around and I texted him and I said, I'm not, I'm not coming. It's too far. And then he came over to me. Then we went to Katsuya and we had six grapefruit martinis together. So, I mean, that was ridiculous. And then we went to Harvell's where there was a jazz club well there is a jazz club it's called Harvell's in Santa Monica for anybody ever looking for a cool place to go that's it then he got home and I was like Joe I don't have my purse I left it at Harvell's so he goes get out of the car you are such a mess and sent me up to my room and did you retrieve your purse no I never it turns out I never even brought a purse out that night because I had forgotten to take a purse so he went back

to Harvell's looking for my purse I went inside was fast asleep while he was pounding on my door for about 45 minutes worried that i didn't have my purse so this friendship is very uneven and i have to start being a little bit more reciprocal in my he is just too sweet and too nice and i am a cunt well you can go look for his purse next time yeah i'm sick uh i am suffering from a neck injury sweetheart because i got yesterday i went to that doctor girl vanessa yeah and she took my blood out and then spun it and then re-injected it all through my neck with syringes and this thing called a stamper. I was pretty numb. I did that to my face once. Yeah, it was pretty. I think it's going to have some good results. I can't wait to see it. I know. It's like having a neck

strengthener. Well, I can't tell that you had anything done. Yeah, I'm surprised I'm not more bruised. I bruise very easily on the face. So it's very hard. Are you anemic? No, I just take etc a lot speaking of which we're having all of your levels tested so thank you this is a reminder for everyone listening to also do your annual physical yes for breast cancer awareness month is it breast cancer awareness month is it i don't think so no let me look at when breast cancer awareness month is so we're all in the know sounds like a february month to me that's the month of my birthday should we place a bet on it no breast cancer awareness month don't you like when you google something and there's a very question that you ask has no answer it's like

What the fuck did I just Google? I feel like every time I Google something, I get less information. Okay. I was wrong. Oh, surprising. I was wrong. It wasn't February. Okay.

Well, it's good to know. I mean, yeah, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is probably a very important month to know about. So my apologies. Well, we'll circle back on that in October. Especially with my breasts. And your mother. I know.

Yeah. Her too. God rest her soul. For Rita. I would have loved to meet Rita. My mom was really sweet. she was so cute so snuggly all of your family is kind of like that though snuggly they're all very like endearing in their own ways they all have a personality and yeah with your childhood i imagine

that everyone was kind of forced to create a personality i would think so but i like when i meet people and their families and you find out like all the little dynamics between siblings and moms and their daughters because some moms are totally fucked up right you know and they're weird around their daughters and like jealous or they want to like live vicariously through them jealous moms and daughters like that is so it's so fucked up to have to grow up like that but that's another example of you loving to see the interpersonal relationships and workings and dynamics because i remember when i had first started you had said that you were going with a friend to meet their parents or stay at their family's house in oakland and i was very surprised

by that thinking oh she's gonna fucking hate that but you came back and you loved it like oh no no it's so interesting to see like how these interactions go between, you know, one of your friends and their families who you'd never met. And you've done this now with some of your local girlfriends and their moms. And now you're close to their moms. You did it when you were up in Canada. I'm into moms. Well, cause I don't have one. So obviously I'm into moms. And I have an aunt who should be acting like my mother, but she can't cause she's such a bitch. Like whatever I am times a hundred is what my aunt is. And so she loves me, but she doesn't like me. your aunt gabby yeah yeah she she lives locally she's an interesting personality i wouldn't use

the word bitch well what would be the word she if i say to her solitude if i text her and say are you home she will lie because she does not want me to come over and she'll say no i'm not or i'm sleeping and that's how i know she'll she's there and to go anyway but like she doesn't want anything to do with me she i like to spring my appearance by her like i just like to show up unannounced so she's forced to see me yeah that's what the move is and yeah and so she hated covid because of she didn't get to see all the grandkids in the regular cycle that she normally does but she liked it because she doesn't want to be socializing anyway and she wants an excuse to like have to stay away from people we both have a gabby and i we both have

a love of crafting and of baking and so that's a commonality that we have so we'll text about that occasionally like this two-story joanne's fabrics it's a craft store if you weren't aware just opened up and we did a text exchange about that for a couple of days which was so nice yeah she's into crafting i mean i don't even yeah i mean crafting actually when i went to thanksgiving this year i think it was was it thanksgiving when i went up to that you raped cabin that i stayed no that was a couple of years ago no with molly and the family it wasn't a couple of years ago it was with my sisters just like the one on the lake that you had to come home no no no that was rape lake you've had too bad thanksgiving experiences right that's why i don't mingle

with that family over the holidays because they seem to like do it one step under what i'm comfortable with they want to do it like the pilgrims and a little and they love camping like they love to camp and i'm not going to pretend i want to camp or try to camp i tried it's not a good fit we're not signing you up for us no so there's no reason to make anybody suffer with me or go camping with people and have them be exposed to my lack of camping ability the last time we went up there whatever holiday it was my sisters and I went or Simone and Seneca and Jordan and I went up and we stayed in that little that cement I told you that was like a little cell block and so the first night I was like Simone is like do you think you're gonna make it and I was

like of course I can sleep in it you were supposed to be there for four days I think like we had packed you up you were ready to go and you were excited to go too I was excited yeah When Brandon packs me up, especially when I bring the dogs, it's exciting because then I feel like I'm a parent. And you love something people may not know is you love to drive like around town. You'd like to drive yourself and you also like to drive on a road trip. Well, that's new. I like to drive on road trips new. But when I went up to this this event, which I'm convinced was Thanksgiving, my sister and I slept in the same bed. And that's also, you know, hard to do because she snores and she has sleeping issues.

But now, I mean, I just have to hit her and she says and she stops. But, you know, why do I want to even deal with that? You don't. So then the second night I was like, I don't know if I can make it the second night. And then I was like, come on, you can't be like that. Like, you got to be able to sleep in this for two nights, you know. And then I made it the second night, but I woke up at like six in the morning, packed up the car and was out of there by like 630 a.m. Yeah, suddenly you're home.

I'm like, what the fuck are you doing here? This is not on the agenda. You're. Oh, yeah, it was bad. But they knew. you know what's great about family is that they know who you're dealing with yeah so you don't ever have to like pretend like oh no i'm i like it here i like sleeping on this cement block i love it i can just be like no gabby it's terrible i don't want to spend another night

here and they're all happy when i leave anyway probably i know that's the kind of the expectation with my family is they they'll know because i'm so particular about basically everything but for them as well like I want everything to be set up a certain way for them and like how I would conduct myself on their behalf so that way when I go to their homes they're always on high alert like what yeah what is going to make him comfortable what do we need to do but I feel like that's a nice way to operate for people like I don't want it to be stressful but they'll know I'll go get a hotel if I'm not going to be comfortable there I don't want to pretend right right right right right and be like oh this is a yeah I'm fine using a bathroom that doesn't have any toilet

paper that's something you do in your early 20s that's like people gay guys specifically where they go on these trips to palm springs and it's you know a five or six bedroom house they will have 20 fucking people staying there because they can't afford it guys that go to palm springs nothing's worse to me than palm springs no the fucking desert like we need to get hotter than what it already is here it's fucking hot already that's and it's dry i don't understand the appeal of going to don't sign me up for palm springs and we're not going to sign you up for camping excuse me I have to clear my throat because I've probably smoked too much pot recently you smoked a joint on the way here as a matter of fact well that's what I'm talking about and

you're wearing a cream jumpsuit and you ashed all over yourself yeah it was a hot mess on the way in this morning actually but it's so fun to be able to go to work together sweetheart because we have just one more activity that we did sometimes after we tape this podcast we go rollerblading yeah our schedule yes has really fallen into place so it's like we're a couple that works together that's home together because you come in the mornings and then goes to work together it's just like dr phil and his wife so we've been doing the podcast and then going rollerblading and we're trying to see how far we can go we're so we're starting in santa monica we want to get down to like manhattan beach so we're pacing ourselves right and then we will

circle back and we'll go to blue plate taco or blue plate oysterette and have a little lunch and margarita have a couple margaritas it's really the best way to work i mean it's great I love a juice boost you know like 11 30 just a margarita just to like kick things up a little bit so that you have a little bit more interest in the next three hours well and it also that is when your creative juices get flowing once you get through your first margarita because we've also been working you've been working on your stand-up notes oh yeah I'm doing a lot of stand-up dates so you have to look for those and that's when you really get going is after that first margarita sets in the second one's been delivered and yeah I like a two margarita lunch

that's what i'm into especially when they can make them frozen the skinny ones frozen oh my god it reminds me of like one of those vacations where there's like just mango margaritas coming towards you on the beach you know like bora bora where they hand you like a passion fruit margarita i love a frozen margarita i love margaritas people don't understand like when i've gone skiing and we do lunch that i always want a margarita like don't you want something warm don't you want a coffee i'm like no no people don't know what they're talking about When it's hot out, just because it's cold out doesn't mean you need something hot to drink. Like people are still drinking fucking hot coffee during the summer.

Are you three months old? I mean, come on. Regulate your body temperature already. Margaritas are refreshing because you're exerting energy when you're skiing. And so it's like you're thirsty. I will say when we're skiing together, we'll get out. We'll stop for coffee or something after an hour. I don't drink coffee, so I don't know who you're talking about.

Yeah, we'll stop and have like a drink or get something. And then like we'll do lunch. Well, Sophia will get a hot chocolate and a cookie normally. yeah but a coffee no one's getting coffee well we get something in the morning and then for lunch it'll be a long lunch and by that time someone will have already passed edibles out so you really have to be on your game after lunch because you're a little drunk and you're probably stoned well you know yeah you don't want to be drunk skiing first of all that's irresponsible you want to have a nice buzz you want to have a buzz so that you're a little braver not a little bit more reckless

That's when I feel like I can tackle... Me? Sexually? Well, and I have. We've rear-ended each other in Central Park. Not yet, but I think it's on the docket. It'll happen at some point. God, that would be so... Can you imagine?

No, no, that would be terrible. That would be a great twist. That would be a deal-breaker. That would be a relationship ender. That would be something Connie Britton could play on Bravo. Oh, God, I saw Connie the other night. I had dinner with Connie and a couple of other girlfriends. as the woman that that was duped by dear john i was like listen are you overplaying her

no she's underplaying it and it's fascinating like there's just social incompetency yeah or regular incompetency technological incompetency shortcomings well i have technological incompetency yeah so that's what so you try though well i think that's part of it It's so annoying. Technology is so annoying. The fact that I have five remotes in my bedroom is like so annoying. I want to shove all of them up your ass. I know you do. And then they all control different things. We have the fireplace or nightstand lamps. We have three remotes for the TVs right now. The remote for the lights is the lamps is over the top because I would like to, I keep going to turn it on when I'm reading. So that would be nice if you could rewire that

sweetheart. Well, I just did that so you didn't have to get up out of bed to turn them both on her off I spent a lot of time in bed you guys readjusting to LA life has taken its toll it's like she's a narcoleptic I know she will fall asleep she fell asleep in her eye shades at 3 p.m. this week I went upstairs I was literally calling to her I said sweetheart sweetheart up the stairs and she was passed out yeah no movement no that was it because the TV didn't work I'm glad you don't smoke cigarettes because if you did I sound like I do today though because I can't stop clearing my throat I want to apologize to our listeners how annoying is that so I won't smoke a joint again on the way to do a podcast.

Adam Scott, this entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never let go of that. I have never set expectations for something like that. It seems like if the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it.

I'm always going to accept, you know, Danny McBride. Fine. Yeah. It's all this fragile masculinity exuding. exuding i could smell it walking down the hallway to be honest with you i was like is that weed nope it's fragile masculinity yeah ben stiller no because a lot of times in out of context people don't get it or even know what a circle is you know what i mean like you're like oh what's the state everyone's so dumb except for you fake right fake

and and also not interested or just like oh i've got my life i don't care about your life and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us.

I imagine because it's sensitive in nature. Read that again. Okay. Dear Chelsea, I'm a 24-year-old music student at Juilliard. Should I keep hooking up with my friend who is in an open, long-distance relationship with a girl who is asexual? I don't see why not. I mean, this seems like a home-run opportunity, unless you're getting emotionally involved. But other than that, yeah, go for it.

Yeah, open relationship. That's the green light. See what pops up or pops down. Pops off. Yeah, see what pops off. And thank you for writing in. We don't know your name, so we'll just call you Lucifer. guess so you have our seal of approval good luck on that let us know how it goes

that was mind-blowing i mean anything of a certain age so 24 like that age i'm glad i'm not fucking 24 oh yeah no i so drunk all the time well can you imagine having to deal with everything that people that age are going through right now like the political correctness of the genders and everything like we're all trying to keep up with it but the younger generation gender fluid asexual like who the fuck knows what's going on there i don't know how you know they know because it's that they live it we're the ones that have to keep up because it's not like what we grew up with so we're the ones who like have to understand it they understand it so it's not a you know i think it's easier for them you know this is also probably much more of a norm

now for people that age so 24 like being in an open relationship and the different types of sexualities asexual i think that means that they're not sexually interested in anyone or anything yeah So I don't even know why there would be in a relationship with someone who's asexual. It's like us. It's an emotional attachment. Yeah, well, but would you describe our relationship as asexual? Well, not with how often I try and see you naked. Well, yeah, you do walk in on me naked a lot, but that's just because I don't have a door to my bathroom.

That's probably what I should be doing, because since I've been so bored, I should pick up one of those hobbies where I'm like, you know, on Pinterest, making little, like, furniture boards of what I want my house to look like or something like that. When you went up to Canada because you had to quarantine for two weeks and you asked if you should start online shopping. And I don't think I've ever been more worried about a habit of yours. I was like, what am I going to do for the quarantine? I mean, I'll read, but there's only so many hours a day you can read a book, you know? I can't read for eight hours. I was like, what should I do?

Should I take up online shopping? Do you think I'd like that? That's going to be a hard no. I know, but I don't want to get involved with anything like that. Lucky for me, you'd get through one page and forget what you were doing. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I would be like, yeah, what am I doing on this site again? OK, so our next submission comes from Julian from the UK.

And Julian writes, Dear Chelsea, I've always loved your honesty, integrity and how genuine you are. My question, what would your advice be to anyone who is feeling lost in life or unsure about themselves and their direction? This seems to be a common theme. Everyone's going through it. So let's see what's going on, Julian. Julian, are you there? Hi. Yes. How are you? Oh, hi, Julian. Hi, Julian. Hi, how are you guys?

We're good. How are you doing? How's COVID doing over in London? Oh, yeah, it's going really well. Yeah, it's okay. I think we're on our way out, hopefully. Surviving or thriving? Surviving, for sure. Yeah. How about you guys? Yeah, well, it's going well in LA right now, but, you know, every time you think you're out of the woods, there seems to be another go-round of it. So who knows? Who knows? You're cute. Thank you. Likewise. Thank you. Well, what's going on?

What is going on? Lots of things. So I guess the basis of my question kind of stemmed from my personal experiences and circumstances over the last few years, which were kind of in relation to my career relationships, friendships, mental health, and so on. However, I guess on the flip side of that, I think there's a lot of people who are going through the same thing as me at the moment so I thought it would be good to get your advice on on the situation and see if you could help me and so many other people to to kind of help get back on track after such a difficult year and with everything that's been going on right Brandon would you like to take the lead on this well I just wonder if there's a specific like you listed off some categories in life like

is there a specific is there a specific one that you feel like you are having the most trouble kind of confronting or getting like getting over that hurdle well sadly for me it all happened at the same time. But if I was to pick one, I guess mental health is really important to me. And you know, it's something I've struggled with for a number of years. So in terms of feeling kind of lost and unsure, I guess I deal with depression. So for me, it's quite difficult when there are circumstances going on that you can't really control. You know, how do you kind of get through that? And what would your advice be to kind of keep going and get yourself back to a good place? I mean, I would focus on what are the good things that are happening in your life? Like what's going

on with your job, your family? Do you have a boyfriend, girlfriend? Are you pregnant? Not pregnant. No, currently single happily. I'm quite blessed. I've got a great family and friends, but my circumstances previously, I lost a lot of people quite close to me. And when I say lost, I mean, they're still with us, just not with me, thankfully. And my career, you know, I changed my job. I had to really change my whole life. And then COVID happened. So it's just kind of been one thing after another, and you feel like you can't catch a break. Well, I just think, first of all,

it's not like you're alone in this, obviously. Half the world is feeling this way. More than half the world. More than half the world feels like they've lost something, right? This last year has, it's like you're on a constant treasure hunt for like the next glimpse of happiness

or the next positive thing to happen. Because every time it seems like it's on the horizon, like Chelsea said, something happens. But I think that in those moments, it's really important to have something, a hobby, an outlet, that when you're down or depressed or in that sort of emotional state where it's kind of hard to dig yourself out you have to have something that you can implement and also you don't want

to be a victim of your circumstances then you're like letting the world run you and you're not running anything so like being even you like you know it's been so hard on you of course yeah but like what are you going to do with this opportunity now you know don't be a victim we don't none of us want to be that because that's just like groveling you know you have to go god yeah this was fucking tough. And if I survive this, I can survive so much more and kind of pick yourself up and start with all the good things you have going on in your life, reminding yourself every morning when you get up, you know, how lucky you are to be where you are, regardless of what happened in the past. What's happening right now is you having to be like in your life, getting things kickstarted

again, which is the way so many people feel. So you got to get your juices flowing. And I think that Chelsea's obviously a big believer in meditation and I try and do it consistently and you know I fail I try right and I do it in the morning now I used to do it midday and I forgot to meditate this morning actually and I usually do it first thing when I get up but lately my meditations have been so lame that I'm just like but it really does set your day on a better path so I kind of used it as a coping mechanism where if I was stressed I would text her and say hey I'm taking 10 minutes outside whatever as a coping mechanism for working for me for the stress associated with it but trying to start your day off in the way that she mentioned

either kind of giving yourself the affirmations of the positive things or the little goals that you're going to have because when you feel those little successes I think everything else feels a little less detrimental yeah and every day should be like an adventure you know when you're getting up in the morning it's not it's not like you have to write affirmations or yeah you could write down in a thing like you know three things you're grateful for that way you're getting out of bed with like some juices going like some positive vibes I think that everyone's problem is just to have more positive vibes right like everyone can work harder to take the negative and turn it around and make it positive well it's so much work to be negative all the time i know it's so

draining i believe me i know julian i will say the way that you kind of recounted the people not being in your life is a positive thing like you obviously have a positive disposition i like your word your usage of recounting well i haven't i yeah that's a word i don't use and i like the way you used it i was sexually attracted to you just then we have that dynamic so i think just implementing more of that, that you know the people who were baggage and not contributing anything, they're no longer there. And you know, that's a positive thing. There's always a way to spin the circumstance in a positive direction. And the more you do that, it's going to feel like less work. Yeah, definitely. Well said, Brandon. Yeah, I would agree with that. You seem really

cool. Like, yeah, I think you're going to be just fine. Thank you. I hope so. I wish I could prescribe medication overseas i would prescribe you something fun but i can i only work here in the united states i'm sure i can find something here okay good yeah do you smoke pot and do you drink like do you have fun oh well that's good yeah i mean you have to at this point let's i know right like this isn't the time to be sober or even experiment with sobriety exactly no i don't have time for that so the first two weeks of the pandemic like when we were quarantining for our first two weeks which we thought would be our only two weeks i treated it like it was spring break like i took mushrooms every day i was like okay what drugs do i have today she was like an

amish child on rumspringa i mean she was like anything that she could get up to she was she's like i only have this two weeks to relax and take drugs yeah i'm like nothing i can't leave my house it doesn't matter what happens like i'm just gonna i had like 100 milligram thc capsules that i was taking i tried those out i was like let's see what happens and then when i realized it was going to go on for more than two weeks I was like oh shit like and then zooms became you know the like the big thing I was like oh I'm gonna have to get my shit together that was the worst I definitely killed off some brain cells during those two weeks for sure those two weeks were the best for both of us because no one knew how to work and I was just dropping off egg McMuffins

McDonald's egg McMuffins he put in my freezer and freezer pack them for me because that's like my favorite thing to have I'm like if the apocalypse is coming and everything's shutting down I need her to go out on a high note, literally high with an egg McMuffin. Yeah. Anyway, stay away from egg McMuffins because as you'll know, I'm sure they cause damage and you don't need that in your life right now. No other unsolicited life advice. All right. Take care. Take care, Julian. Thank you so much, guys. Appreciate it. Bye. He was one of my favorite callers. He was so likable. It's some of these people that are really likable that just need to kind of recalibrate their thinking. Yeah, Yeah. I think a lot of people also don't laugh a lot. I think that's a thing.

Yeah. Because like when I've gone through periods without laughing, I notice it. I'm like, why aren't I laughing? Like, well, I'm not making, you know, I'm like being too serious or I'm like, you know, whatever. People get so in their heads. Taking things too seriously. Yeah. Taking things too seriously.

And nothing's that serious. Like my, and this is actually a piece of advice that I gave you. Way to toot your own horn. Well, one of the first times I ever did it, I remember being so uncomfortable trying to like, you know, open up personally and you were really upset about something. I can't remember what it was and basically my weight it probably was and my aunt always would ask me is it really worth being mad over if i called her with an issue if i was upset about something and the answer is almost always no like when you're really faced to answer that and so i did that to you one day you were upset about something but you have to put it in perspective is it really worth being mad over

and you totally changed your outlook you're like actually no it's not so let's just like correct it and move on yeah it's so lame to be in a bad mood also you know it's like just so not hot it doesn't do anything for anyone well no no it doesn't it's not like anyone get yeah well let's see how this next caller is her name is lacy she's from california she is a child sleep therapist oh maybe she can help you sweetheart and a doula we need to put her on retainer two birds with one stone i can have a baby and sleep through the night you could sleep through having the baby oh well i would rather sleep after the baby is born i would rather sleep through that well Wilma Bell will be taking over at that point.

Will she, though? I mean, will Wilma Bell really be taking over at that point? She writes, Dear Chelsea, I would like your advice. My girlfriend and I plan to spend our future together, and that means we would like to get married. However, with both of us being lesbians, feminine lesbians, we don't really know how to propose. I personally would like to be proposed to. However, she also wants to be proposed to. How would you suggest we go about this?

Any ideas? This is a quick fix. Okay. She's on the phone. Oh, okay, great. Oh, there she is. Let's see what's going on. Hi, Lacey.

Hi, Chelsea. Aren't you cute? You're a feminine lesbian. I can see. Thank you. Yes. Okay. How long have you guys been together?

We met seven months ago in the height of the pandemic. Well, that was good. I'm glad you guys were being safe during the pandemic, hooking up. Yeah. Exactly. And how's it been going? I mean, seven months, that's like... Okay.

So you know. You both know and are committed. Yes. Yes. When you know, you know. But I mean, to put it simple, we met at the beach in Santa Monica and the rest is history. So there's a lot going on with the circumstances of you meeting, being at a beach during the pandemic. But I'll support it. But that's good. They were outside. That's safe. That's one thing. We need to take you to the beach to try and find you somebody. Yeah. Six feet apart.

Yeah. Six feet apart. They were just, you know, finger blasting each other six feet apart. Exactly, Chelsea. I think what you guys are like, you know, a modern couple. I think you should just if you want to be proposed to and she wants to be proposed to, I think you should have a conversation and say, listen, I'm going to propose to you and I want you to propose to me. And let's plan on doing that together. I mean, because otherwise one person is going to do it and then the other person is going to be let down. Right. Well, correct.

But that's the conversation we've already had. Oh, yeah. Oh, it is. Yeah. So we need a good idea. Chelsea. Like an idea for the double proposal. Yeah.

But are you going to be proposing at the same time or will one of you propose at a certain time and the other person? See, that's what I would do. That's my question, you guys. That's a logistical question. And Sweetheart knows that Sweetheart does not know anything about logistics. This is also. That's your department. This is a common problem with gay couples.

Right. And this is something you get asked, like, who pays for dinner when you're both men or both women. And the same thing for proposing. How do you know who proposes to one another? Sometimes there's a more dominant person in the relationship. Are you the more dominant one? Well, that is a good question. I think it's pretty equal.

That's why I'm having a hard time with this. So what about you just going for it and proposing like on your own and then do that and then letting her just figure out her own thing? So I do it first. Yeah. Like you want to do it like, yeah, that's kind of it's kind of hot to do it first anyway, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Could be. Except for the possible repercussions of that of the girlfriend being pissed. so you what you i don't understand did you know she won't did you agree you agree that you won't both want it to be proposed to but you didn't agree that it had to happen on this at the same time did they no okay because i'm like miracle ear we should do an ad for miracle ear because i was like did i fucking miss something oh yeah no i think you should then you should just go for it just propose to her and do it and like be like i wanted to do my way and i want you to do it your

way and that way it gives her the room to you know still do it right it's exciting congratulations I'm so happy that you found somebody that you love this much. Like, I would love to find somebody that I was that excited about. Maybe you will. I keep telling you to become a late in life lesbian. Like Glennon Doyle. Everyone is becoming lesbians. Everyone.

So they must be onto something. Well, no, they are because they're fucking over men. They're like, oh, this is you guys are so disappointing over and over and over again that we're just going to start going down on women. That's what a lot of women are doing. And I might. You're right. Who knows? You know what? I probably will end up being a lesbian. Chelsea, you should. OK, I know. I just I'm like, I like men. I'm attracted to men in a big way. I'm losing my attraction to them slowly over time.

But I keep thinking that there's going to be some guy out there that I'm just going to be really into. Possibly or. Yeah. Or there's not. And we'll take you to the beach and we'll find you your lesbian lover. Okay, Lacey, my last piece of advice on this, maybe you set a timeline or a timeframe that you if you do it first, then she has, you know, three months to plan her thing and do it that way. So that way you don't feel like you both don't know when it's happening. Or maybe you set a certain amount of time that you both agree on of when the first person is allowed to or pull a fucking straw. So you know, like, then it's fair who who gets to propose first. But I definitely think I definitely think you each setting up your own proposal. so you can do it your way based on what you know the other person would appreciate is going to be the best experience for you both. So you're saying whoever does it first. I'm saying that there's... I think she should just propose.

Like, just go for it and fucking do it already. Okay. Yeah, be bold. I think. That's my advice. Let us know how it turns out. Who ends up proposing first? Yeah, sweetheart.

Okay. Yeah, I'm going to talk to my sweetheart now because I'm, you know, that was so confusing. We have to work in concert. Well, sweetheart, we have different perspectives on this because as a gay man, this is a struggle that we all face. Okay. You're never going to face that. You don't need to hear this part of the conversation.

We're going to say goodbye, Lacey. Thank you. Bye, Lacey. Have a great day. Thank you so much. Bye, guys. Bye. Sweetheart, stop exposing everybody to our dysfunctional.

Oh, sweetheart, I look like Nick Nolte. I think your face looks great. You look very glowy today. Oh, do I? Yeah. Wow. Did you use that hempathy product? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I used that new hempathy product and I was testing it out to see if I like it. And so far, I do. I hope more people write in with cosmetic related questions because that's my favorite topic. I know you love to do you love to take care of your skin, anything, facials and any sort of aroma therapy. Are you into aroma therapy? No, not so much into that. But my favorite candle therapy, aroma therapy. It's just like smells, but it always smells like shit.

I don't like smells. My favorite is when you think that I've had Botox and I haven't. Yeah, your forehead looks like you've had a lot of Botox. No. Oh, that's weird. Full mobility. So you have a little bit one of those, like, what are those cavemen from the early times? What are they called?

Troglodytes? Troglodytes? No, I'm not thinking of that. But yeah, promagnum? Cro-magnum? Yeah, you look a little bit Cro-magnum then with your eyebrow. What is that? It's where, like, it's a little caveman-esque.

It's like where you wear, it's very full right here in the brow. Oh, the brow bone, yeah. Yeah, and then with your middle part, like, you look like you could be, you know, half ape, half man. I'm the missing link. Like, you could have come from that line of, you know, well, we all did, so. I imagine their skin was not very smooth, but. Well, but anyway, it's good to know that cavemen were getting Botox also. It started somewhere.

This would be a perfect time to insert our Botox commercial. We're just dishing out this advice today, and I feel like we're getting through them very quickly. All of our callers are so, none of them are annoying, you know? I mean, obviously somebody will be, but everyone's so cool and normal. There'll be a rogue one for sure. Oh, yeah, yeah. I know. For sure. I'm waiting. Well, our next mission was actually a voice memo submitted by Tina. And so if you would like to send a voice memo, you can do that as well.

You can send it to DearChelseaProject at gmail.com if you don't have the time to call in. Yeah, send us a voice memo. I love a voice memo. Well, let's listen to what she has to say. dear chelsea i need your advice on whether to remove my tattoos completely off my body since they suck or repair the current ones to look cooler instead of the piece of shit i have yes i shouldn't have done it to begin with but the damage has been done and removing them is very painful with numerous appointments and money but i'll do it if you pay and film the horror promise your lesbian tattoo friend tina why if i have to pay for her to get her tattoos

removed and then film it removed and then watch it removed i love that she gave me two options removed or repaired i personally just am not a fan of tattoos no i'm a jew so like it's not that i follow anything like anything about religion or about my own other than trying to be a good person you can't be buried in a jewish cemetery if you have tattoos i am not going to be wanting to be buried anyway sweetheart i'm actually that's that's conversation we need to have yeah i want to be cremated and you can just throw me in the garbage i do not want to be cremated on the record do not cremate me you mean for the record for the record oh and on the record yeah okay do not under any circumstance i want to be buried because i want to be brought back i want there to be some

dna left sweetheart you're being ridiculous i looked up being cryogenically frozen there's a company yeah in Arizona okay so so how much does it cost I don't know but I'll be working for a few more years you have to have somebody handle the account that's like 40 years younger I think it's 150,000 but there are two different options you can just have your head cryogenically frozen in which case they would like implant your brain into another body and then come back possibly you come back a hundred years later yes I don't know about that that would be really scary I got a tattoo while you were away and i posted about it while i was in my tattoo session and you dm'd me immediately about the tattoo were you disappointed that i had gotten a tattoo i just was surprised

well this is something else to know more life advice is sometimes your body refuses the ink which mine has done oh well there you go so it has now faded into basically maybe i maybe i had the ink disappear with my power of thought you probably did about your tattoo you wanted my body to let go of the ink letting go letting go that's a book everyone should read you've given it away to multiple people oh yeah that's a great book by david hawkins i read it like three times when i was in whistler it's really good so did we is she on her own i mean what are you thinking uh tina yeah it's not a decision for us to make i'm not going to pay for your tattoo removal i can't start paying for things when people ask and write in because then that's what

the show would be. And I'd have to do much more than a podcast to sustain it. But that's a decision you're going to need to make, sister, on your own, without our help. You got yourself into this mess. Now, tat yourself out of it. Goodbye, Tina. Okay. It sounds like it's time for a breaky, breaky, breaky, breaky. We'll be right back.

On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies

you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. Well, there was definitely a broad... Seems like we didn't do very much heavy lifting today, sweetheart. Let's be honest. No, but those will come. Do you think if you weren't a comedian that you would want to do something with counseling or like... No, If I weren't a comedian, what I would want to do is get paid to watch television and sit on my maybe psychology. I don't know.

It would have to involve travel and sociology, maybe sociology, anthropology. It's never too late to become an anthropologist. Brandon, it's never too late. There's always an option. Would you ever go to college? Would you ever actually enroll if we were filming it for like, you know, a documentary series or something? Yeah, we've talked about doing that before. We just haven't gotten around to it because but I would. Yeah, I'm interested in learning. And I'm also would be interested in getting swept up in the social aspects of college because I would just to relive those. I would totally go like, you know, join a sorority, become the president and tell all these girls like how to fucking, you know, keep everyone in line and like be bosses.

I would love to. So I would love to have that influence over a bunch of 18 year old girls. Are you kidding me? Like they would be fucking cunts by the time I got done with them. They'd be ready to attack. So, yeah, I could see myself doing that. I don't remember what happened with that. We were talking about it, but then we never really got into it. So we'll revisit. Put that in your notes section. I will bring up. I will. I will. I will. Thank you. Yeah. Light load today. Light lift. But we'll see what happens next week.
