Starting point is 00:00:00 Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Please tell me why! Oh baby, welcome to another episode of Why Won't You Date Me? A podcast where I try to figure out how I'm still single even though I would take off my acrylic so I could dig better in your butt. Okay, I'm like running out of little things to say. My guest today, you work in television production.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I know you because we met on Tinder. Her name is Skylar Hurt. Boop-a-da-boo, scoob-a-ba-ba. Hello, Skylar. Hi. Thank you very much for doing this. My pleasure. Is this your first podcast or no?
Starting point is 00:00:59 It's my second. I did one for a friend before. Okay, great. I've had a bunch of people where this is their first or second podcast. It is easy. It is breezy. It's beautiful. It's cover girl. I've had a lot
Starting point is 00:01:14 of coffee. But I'll probably fall right to sleep tonight. So, do you... You're on apps. Yes, because I met you on an app. Yes. What apps are you on i'm on all the apps which ones no literally all like tender yes bumble raya well no i'm not cool enough to be so many people are on it okay cupid uh-huh uh coffee meets bagel yes i fucking hate that one
Starting point is 00:01:41 yeah that one's the worst with the beans yeah i very rarely use that one. Yeah, that one's the worst. With the beans. Yeah, I very rarely use that one anymore. I deleted it because I got so angry that they were like, you need to earn things to give to men. And I was like, men should be earning things to give to me. Or maybe they have to earn beans too. I didn't get that far because it was very annoying. Are you on Hinge? Hinge, yes. Are you on Happn?
Starting point is 00:02:01 Happn? No, H-A-P-P-N. Yes. I was for a second because I like the concept, but no one else was on it. So it just seemed pointless. And I'll be like, you walked past Dan 100 times. And Dan lives in Pasadena. And you're like, how? How did Dan and I cross paths so many times?
Starting point is 00:02:19 And I'm trying to, what are the other ones? Plenty of Fish is one. I've heard of other people having success on it. I have not. But i'm still still using it i'm i thought plenty i didn't does plenty of fish have an app yeah because plenty of fish is like a real old school thing where i remember like me and my friends would log into a computer right and like manually well that's how okay cupid started that was the first you're right dating site I ever did in college. Oh, so you've been on dating sites since college.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah. I don't remember. I think I started dating sites when I was like, it was definitely when I was in my Washington Heights apartment, so that was like 23, I think, or 24, because I moved here when I was 25. Yeah, 23 or 24. I was late to the game, I think specifically because I lived in New York.
Starting point is 00:03:10 So, like, it was just like I would go out and meet a friend and be like, this is my friend for a while. Well, you told me, like, in New York, you could just go to any bar and just drink and meet people. And I've never lived in a place where that was really an option. Like, I lived in a small town in college. There was maybe one bar and they were all like hillbillies. I was in like rural Texas. Where?
Starting point is 00:03:32 Huntsville, Texas. It's north of Houston. Sam Houston State University. Sam Houston? Yeah. I opened for Nick Cannon at Sam Houston State University. There's a big statue of a man on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Sam Houston, yeah. Where they're like, don't stop! And I was like, but all I want to do is stop and take a picture. But then I couldn't figure out where to stop and how to get a good picture. And I was also alone. Also, Nick Cannon wore a turban, and you better believe he was wild. And I mean that in the nicest way possible, because it was very nice that he let me open for him. But he was wild.
Starting point is 00:04:05 He rolled around the stage at one point, and it was very nice that he let me open for him. But he was a wild. He like rolled around the stage at one point. I was like, is he going to roll off? Which would have been very funny, but he didn't. I've only really lived in a small town when I was a wee little girl until like, I think 18. 18 is when I was like, I got to get the fuck up out of here and move to new york what like in jersey it was a small town yeah okay jersey's like i mean jersey city is like a city ish newark city ish but like everything else in jersey is like boring as fuck and i didn't love it uh do you have any, dating horror stories from apps?
Starting point is 00:04:51 I mean, when you ask a woman that question, the dating horror stories are getting assaulted. You know, like, there are no cute stuff like, oh, I spilled my wine on my dress and it got ruined. It's like, no, I had the worst night of my entire life. Okay. And I've had a lot of experiences like that. Okay. I think we all have. Yeah, let's not get into that. I think the best case scenario is that you don't hit it off and you go your separate ways and then the other one doesn't harass you.
Starting point is 00:05:14 That's been my experience. Although every now and then you get somebody who doesn't get it and won't let it go. Yeah, I had one fun friend who texted me nonstop for two weeks and kept being like, I just need to see you. I was like, I don't think that is what we need right now. I think what we need is like for you to like be in your house. I'll be in my house. I'm like, we never see each other again. You talk a lot about how texting creates a false sense of intimacy.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So I don't text. I recently realized what you meant by that. I was texting this girl from this app, from Bumble, for maybe two weeks, three weeks. Too long. Before meeting. And I felt like we clicked on every level and had great chemistry and awesome conversation. And at one point I was like, what if we don't hit it off? What if we're not attracted?
Starting point is 00:06:07 And she's like, of course we will be. Look at this amazing back and forth. And then we met, and it just fell flat. And maybe it was because there was so much buildup and there was so much pressure put on both of us to perform well. And maybe it would have gone better had we not had three weeks of great texting. But I felt so sure that like, oh, I found like the person that I'm going to be hanging out with from now on. And I truly, truly think until you, I think both decide that like, this is a thing we want to do. I don't think you should text that often. Yeah, I think you're right. Because then you just like me specifically, like when I'm on the road, I'm like, like oh I have this person and we're texting all the time so like when I see them
Starting point is 00:06:48 again it's gonna be great then it's like you're texting texting texting and then they're like oh well I'm busy and you're like oh okay oh well this is oh okay so then you're just like well why were we texting for so long and so much if there wasn't something there she even told me at one point that she does not make plans. I was like, do you ever go to the doctor? Like, she's like, no, I just avoid ever, ever, like ever making appointments or making plans of any kind. So it just wasn't meant to be. I'm a planner.
Starting point is 00:07:15 So I knew that wasn't going to work out. I like a loose plan. Like, tell me the date. And then leading up to the date, I'll be like, we can figure it out. Yeah. Or you'll be like, oops, I forgot. I have a show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I am very bad with my schedule. It's like it's it's bad. I my friend Amy has been asking me to do her podcast and I've canceled on her three times because I've forgotten about shit that I had to do during the day. And it doesn't, I know it doesn't feel good and it feels like I put my career before people. And I do. I do and it's not nice. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I didn't mean to be salty. No, it's fine. I really feel the heat right now. And I am sorry yes uh i do do that a lot and it's not nice i like i just i don't write things down sometimes i go on twitter and i'm like do i have a show tonight because i'm like i vaguely wrote something down that says eight and i'm like i don't know what eight means I think it means I have a show I don't know but I think every time that you canceled on me at the last minute it
Starting point is 00:08:30 wasn't that you forgot you had a show it was that you forgot that you had a date and I reminded you and you were like oh yeah about that it was like oh okay I feel like I only canceled on you maybe once. Twice? At least three times. Really? Yeah. Our first date you canceled. Did I? I recently, to prepare for this podcast, went back and read all of our texts and our Instagram thread and all the other forms of communication between us. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Okay. So let's just get into it. So I met you through Tinder. I swiped yes on you because I thought you were cute. And then I was like, you also look familiar. Then I swiped yes on you. Then we matched. And then you were like, we're snow sisters or Eskimo sisters.
Starting point is 00:09:19 What is it? I said snow because that's his last name. Oh. I thought you literally meant like eskimo sister right that's the real term oh i was doing like a like a play on words okay because i literally said to my friend i was like oh she said we're snow sisters which means like we kiss the same boy and she's like that's definitely not what it means and i was like well harumph i'm not sure what she means then no i was just like being cheeky oh boy I'm stupid uh but then I like went back through his Instagram and I was like oh no that
Starting point is 00:09:51 is his ex-girlfriend and then I was like I will go out with her my friend was like what is your end goal and I was like I don't know but then I think the more I thought about it my end goal was like well then I'll just end up with her and it'll be a wonderful story to tell everybody yeah I think we might have both been in it for the story initially yeah which is a very strange thing to do yeah um probably not the best motives probably not uh but we went out the first time we went out we talked a lot about him and I was like huh I'm not sure if that was a date I was fully confused yeah that's fair I mean we had dinner yes and it was nice yes it was very nice we went to a nice little restaurant I ordered a chicken parm that's a fun flirty thing to order on a first date I hung down I was like give me more wine um we had talked about being friends and like going to see a movie
Starting point is 00:10:46 like it wasn't we didn't really have like a romantic vibe going into it initially it was very confusing but then we went to Jumbo's Clown Room the next day got very drunk and fucked and then I was like well that definitely was a date because it ended in fucking so like yeah
Starting point is 00:11:02 that seems right and then I was like just even more confused but then not confused it was a very interesting time and then also i was dating other people too because that's what you're supposed to do that's yeah that's the right thing to do that doesn't see it's not fun. And it's confusing. I find myself in long-term casual situationships. Like the last guy that I was like hanging out with, it was a year and a half that it was casual. Really? Yeah. And it was great.
Starting point is 00:11:39 He lived a mile away from my house. I could text him. He'd be over in 20 minutes. And we got along great. And neither one of us saw a future in the other, but we had a great time together for the time being. Did you have that conversation where you were like, this is going nowhere? The first date, I do this thing where I take a lot of my dates to the same places. It's kind of, in LA, there are very few places that I really love the atmosphere of and
Starting point is 00:12:05 I'm kind of picky. So like Jones, which I've taken you to is my favorite restaurant. I take most of my first dates there. Yes, you did say that. And I was like, hmm, OK. What did you. But it was cute, right? Well, it's a very cute place. But whenever people talk about other dates or other people, I get confused because I don't know what the motive is. What do you mean? I don't know why you're telling me that you take a bunch of people here. And I'm part of the stable of people. There was this Frasier episode that I was modeling, like, that whole idea off of where a matchmaker sets him up with a bunch of dates.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So he goes to the same restaurant, wears the same outfit so that the woman would be the only variable. Like, it's basic science. So that was my idea behind it but then at the end of the day i know what places i like and i don't trust the stranger that i'm meeting up with to pick a good place sure so i'll just go back to jones and if i like them then we'll go to pleasure chest down the street because that's like a nice walk away and then we'll cross the street to Bar Lubitsch. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And then we'll go to Jimbo's and we'll end the night there. Oh, so truly it's mapped out. Yeah, it really is. Yeah, and it's a great, it's a marathon for sure, but it's honestly a super fun first date and you get to know each other really well. And I did that with this person. And by the end of the date, I realized that I wasn't going to fall for him,
Starting point is 00:13:24 but that he was a lot of fun and that we got along I don't think I could do a year and a half casually I'm not a casual person I'm pretty intense uh and I need my questions answered uh yeah that just seems like too long it was okay though because I wasn't I wasn't really needing anything more from him than he was able to give. And at the end of the day, he ended up meeting someone else that he wanted to be monogamous with, and that's how we ended things, and there were no hard feelings, and it was nice.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Ugh. I'm waiting for someone to ask me to be monogamous. And I want them to use that word specifically, just because I think it's a very heavy word. Nicole, let's be monogamous. So there is this man who keeps emailing me and he wrote this is in November. He said ham, not spam or no, not spam or ham.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I read that very wrong. He said, good morning. No good opening, but hopefully you will read. I have no history of social media except for six or eight years ago but i think i'm an excellent prospect for a lot once again no title that i can think of have meeting but had to send weird email right and then later he said later that day he said part two so nicole i listen to all your podcasts in a week and a half no you despise fandom I don't think I've ever said that anyway.
Starting point is 00:14:46 But that's not why I'm stating it. Fuck fake text relationships. I don't fit any of your love criteria, but I don't think you should have taken any. Also, this man, like, can't write. What is this? And I don't know what he's saying. This man just keeps emailing me. So he also says, here are the facts.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Black, 46, not a beach body. Daddy of eight. He's describing himself yes educated living my dream not succumbing to the norm and then he said he's going to disney next week but i can meet you for a date or something which is crazy because i'm like you have eight children and you want to meet me for a date after you take your kids to disney is this the email that you put at the end of the podcast to send you dirty things? Yeah, it's baconcansave at gmail.com if you want to send me an insane email that I'll read on the podcast. And then he goes on to say, here's my nasty post. And it's a bunch of like how he wants to treat my pussy like a turkey, which is very strange.
Starting point is 00:15:43 He wants to stuff it. Yeah, but with like a turkey baster, like real turkey which is very strange it wasn't stuffing yeah but with like a turkey baster like real turkey things so then he sent something on the 30th and he said why the fuck won't you date me i'm your boyfriend shaking my head then he says options taking my daughter to florida next week after that we can make this happen we can go on a date when i get back took you forever your new podcast i think he's like not well. And then he said, I'm a Libra all over the place. But once I'm in you, I will be nasty.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. And then it just goes on and on and on. And then he sent another one that day and was like, here's my other email, my professional email. And then he emailed me today to say, sigh, meh,
Starting point is 00:16:28 you're a discriminating millennial. Wait, so you never responded to any of his emails? But to be fair, you are kind of soliciting this behavior on the podcast. Sure. Sure. But.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And you obviously must get something out of it if you're willing to read that entire thing on your podcast. I guess. Just, I guess what I something out of it if you're willing to read that entire thing on your podcast. I guess. Just, I guess what I get out of it is people are crazy. Like, they're legit insane. Yeah, but you live for it. Kind of. But maybe I should say, please email me coherent thoughts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:59 That's fair. I'm happy to read coherent thoughts. But that man doesn't seem well. He's 46 with eight kids and he's taking his kids to Florida and and he wants to hang out i don't live in florida right no and casting that happens a lot too we'll get really well because i have to post on craigslist a lot for a lot of the shows we're developing so we just get the wildest submissions i mean i can't even imagine i don't even know how they vet people on Nailed It. I get, I've been very lucky that everyone has been great and very normal and no one has been crazy to me. But like, what if they get a crazy person?
Starting point is 00:17:32 What happens? I mean, typically there are background checks. Oh, are there? Yeah. I mean, depends on the show. But a lot of the times they look into it just to make sure they're not endangering anybody on the set. Imagine they cast a murderer and he murders everyone. That would be so wild.
Starting point is 00:17:49 On that note, we have to take a break. And we're back. Okay. So you swiped on my. Here's a question. What on my Tinder did you like and why did you swipe yes? Well, I knew who you were. Would you have swiped yes if you didn't know who I was? You can't hurt my feelings. Interesting question. Maybe. I don't know. I can't really speak't really speak to that fair i mean you have cute pics hey thank you you had a funny bio i mean chances chances are yes okay but i mean considering
Starting point is 00:18:35 the situation you know i i think i told you this like i was a fan of yours before you and nick ever met i took him to a show of yours at the Pleasure Chest like six years ago. And I think that, I mean, he and I were, you know, still casually seeing each other when you guys met. What a treat. What a dream. Oh, yes. Everybody's dating 100 people at once.
Starting point is 00:19:07 No, but like I said, like, I have these long-term casual things, and Nick is one of them. Like, he and I just stayed really good friends after breaking up, and I'm the same way with my other ex in L.A., and I just don't want to meet a bunch of new people. Like, I hate strangers, so I just, like, stick with what's comfortable. You're preaching to the choir I also hate strangers but I don't I don't stay friends with people that I've I've also never had like a full full full relationship um but I tend to not stay friends with people I've gone on dates with I don't know why it's easy for people to like just go bye bye well I guess it's like because you I said this on an episode of my friend joel when people break up with me they still have access to me it's it doesn't work
Starting point is 00:19:51 vice versa do you know what i'm saying no what do you mean so like if someone breaks up with me and then they're like i kind of miss her you can turn on your tv or you can not necessarily access to you nicole nailed it it's not access i't know. I'm pretty much the same in person. I mean, the curly wig, sometimes it's straight, you know, change it up a little bit. My makeup looks good. Yeah, you just go, well, that's Nicole. She really made me laugh. Okay, turn it off.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Go to bed. Fuck my new wife. I mean, you and I can stay friends. All right. All right. All right, let's do it. I mean, I threatened Nick with friendship. Yeah, I remember that. And we have not kept up with it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Actually, speaking of which, I did kind of want to ask about something kind of weird that happened when you and I, that night we went to Jones. Yes. Because Nick and I are such close friends. You told him you were meeting someone for dinner at Jones. He knows Jones is my place. He texts me, are you meeting Nicole for dinner right now? Yeah. Why? Her and I just saw a movie together. And then you didn't mention to either one of us that you were seeing the other. It was very weird. Yeah. I didn't know how to bring it up. And, like, we were hanging out. We went and saw, not the Meg, Crazy Rich Asians, which is a very weird movie to see with him because the main character's name is Nick and they say his name 100 times.
Starting point is 00:21:21 But, like, I was like, oh, I should tell him that i'm going to dinner with skylar but like it seemed weird to be like hey so i i fucked your ex girlfriend um and like in my brain this is gonna be a really great story so i but like neither one of us would have cared i didn't know i didn't know how anyone was gonna react the weird part was you not saying anything yeah baby uh that is funny though that he was like i know this restaurant that's my yeah that's my spot he was like where are you meeting and i was like a place called jones i've never been but it's called jones and he went oh okay and then he dropped me off and was like okay yeah also that day i was taking him in his car and i like passed his car and he's like you passed my car
Starting point is 00:22:11 and i was like oh i didn't see a prius he's like oh no i got a new car and i was like oh you did he's like yeah you made fun of my old one what like that's why he upgraded because you made fun of it well he mentioned it so i don't know if that's the sole reason? Because you made fun of it? Well, he mentioned it. So I don't know if that's the sole reason. What did you even say? How do you make fun of Prius? Oh, I got in his car and I started pretending to swipe. And I went, it's like I'm in an Uber. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Which is funny. Because there are so many Priuses? Yes. Because most Ubers are Priuses. Yeah. Okay. He didn't think it was funny. And they got a full ass new car.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I don't know. Maybe. I'm sure it wasn't the only reason. No. No. He'd been wanting a Lexus for a long time. But he mentioned it. And I was like, huh.
Starting point is 00:22:49 All right. I guess you don't think I'm that funny. I don't think he thought I was funny at all. No. I mean. No, of course he did. No, no. You don't.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Whatever. C'est la vie. I don't know what that means so i guess you are like bi and out and proud and dating other women well i don't call myself bi because i think bi means you only recognize two genders um i call myself a slut i'll fuck anything a turtle whatever no Fuck anything. A turtle? Whatever. No, I'm kidding. That would be wild. I don't even know how you do that. I fully am open to anything. Trans, gay, like whatever you identify as, I don't really care. As long as we get along and the sex is good.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah, like pan is the word. Hmm? Pan, I think is the. I don't like it. You don't like it? No, it reminds me of a skillet is the... I don't like it. You don't like it? No, it reminds me of a skillet. So, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Pansexual? Eh, it's not for me. Yeah, I also truly... I don't like labels. I don't know why we have to label everything. I don't know why anyone has to be like, I'm this. I think once you're friends with someone, you can be like,
Starting point is 00:24:03 do you have a type? What things do you fuck? What people do you fuck but like if you're not friends with the person I don't think like you need like coming out to me is such a like a wild thing right because if you're friends with someone usually you can infer what they like like my two best friends from high school when they came out to me like I was like okay sure you came out but like I already knew but then my therapist is like well people they have whatever we've talked about it a lot okay you and mary me and mary oh and mare bear haven't seen her in about a week and a half and it's been rough but i see her tomorrow, 3.30. Our standing appointment on Thursdays.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I remember the day, the morning after we hooked up, you tweeted that you like broke Mary's brain or something. Like she'd never been speechless before. Always breaking her brain. I like went on a journey to learn how to ride a man and was explaining it to her and it broke her brain. I am. She's constantly like, why do you do? How do you get to these conclusions?
Starting point is 00:25:15 And I'm always like, I don't know, Mary. And then we have to like walk back. And then she's like, the way your brain works. But like, we both understand my brain's like a little I have ADD. So truly, i do not think like other people i can't remember what i said to sashir last night but she was floored that i didn't and what was it hmm i don't know we were on the phone for a solid six hours so we covered a lot of topics also never mind never mind. I won't tell that story. Yeah, just about your sexual orientation.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Oh, and we got so far away from it. Yeah, I'll have one. Okay. I'm just a person who lives in this world and I'll love whoever wants to love me. What do you identify as bi? I guess. I mean, I have no other experience other than with the two genders. I mean, that's where my, you know, the idea of my identity kind of stops
Starting point is 00:26:06 because I just, I don't know otherwise. Not that I'm opposed to trying new things. I'm open. I think it's good to be open. I think everybody should be open. I think it's wild if you're not open. I found this on Instagram last night and it really made me chuckle.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Okay, so it was a picture of this beautiful woman and a very ugly man. And it said, exactly one year ago, my sugar daddy Brad passed away. Oh, I saw this. It made me laugh so hard. Insane. Are you gonna read the whole thing?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yes. Okay, go ahead. He was 47 and died of a heart attack and untreated diabetes. We had an incredibly toxic relationship and ultimately I wish I never met him. As horrible as he was, I'm sitting here trying to dig up a good memory to share. So here it is. Brad,
Starting point is 00:26:52 you bought me my first pair of Louboutins, my first Birkin, and my first and only racehorse. A racehorse emoji.

Starting point is 00:28:00 so she was a sugar baby she didn't like her sugar daddy. He attacked her while high on whippets and then took her out of the will and then died. But not before she got a Birkin bag and Louboutins and a full ass horse. And now he's haunting her. Would you ever be a sugar baby? Oh, I tried so hard to be a sugar baby. Nobody would sugar baby me. Nobody would let me be a sugar baby. I tried. I tried so hard in New York because I had a friend who was. And she would just like go to dinners with these men and they would give her an allowance. And all she did was go to dinner, allegedly.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And I was like, I'll do other stuff. I don't care. I want my bills paid. And it never worked out. I would like message with men back and forth and they'd be like, I don't other stuff. I don't care. I want my bills paid. And it never worked out. I would message with men back and forth, and they'd be like, I don't know if you're my type. And I'm like, what is your type? This is on Seeking Arrangement? This was on Craigslist.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I was a big Craigslist person. And then I decided to get married. And then that's how I got right for new hair and improv classes you better believe i paid zero debt i got 30 grand in debt in maybe a year probably under a year because you have to drink yeah you've told me that's a lot. You have to. No, you obviously made the right call. Improv classes, I mean, look where you are now. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:35 If I had never gotten married, I'd never have a podcast. I wouldn't be the host of three podcasts. What? Really? Yes. I'm exhausted all day, every day, just talking about things in the world. You have no one to blame but yourself. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Well, it's because people really fucking like podcasts. Yeah, that's true. Conan has a podcast now, I just saw. Yes, everybody has a podcast. Everyone. This fucking rug has a podcast. It's called Why You Steppin' On Me. It's honestly pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Just a rug being like, but why? Yeah, I have three. Do you watch 90 Day Fiancé? No, I've been meaning to. I know that you're obsessed. I feel like I've talked about it. Yeah, a lot. I only watch two shows, RuPaul's Drag Race and 90 Day Fiancé. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:18 So I do two podcasts where I recap 90 Day Fiancé and RuPaul's Drag Race. Wait, you have a RuPaul podcast now? Yeah, it's called What the Tuck with my friend Joel Kim Booster who just left. Just plugging it, plugging it again. It's called, yeah, What the Tuck, which apparently is a name that already exists out in the world
Starting point is 00:30:36 to which I think it's hosted by two women. I apologize. I saw the tweet but we launched it. It is what it is. So like, I'm sorry. But also we introduced it as the only RuPaul Drag Race recap podcast, which is not true. But, like, people have been like, guys, it's not true.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And I'm like, yeah, on what planet do you think we don't know this? I don't know. People don't understand sarcasm. I think sarcasm is a dying art form, and I'm a little upset about it. So you're watching All Stars 4? Always. Yes. Who's your frontrunner? Oh boy. I mean I love Monet X Change. Oh wow. This is really dipping into my other
Starting point is 00:31:14 podcast. It's a crossover episode. I do like Monique Hart. Also Gia Gunn is hilarious. Oh she's shadier than ever. She's so shady. I need her to stick around. I need the drama. The drama, I live for it. I love her being like, mmm, yum.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Talking is not a talent, but it is. Trinity makes it go away. I don't think Trinity deserved to be in the top three. I liked it. I thought it was very cute. I thought she looked good. I thought her lip sync was good. The tuck was good, but Latrice with the color guard
Starting point is 00:31:45 flags are you kidding me yes manila with the reveal the art right well i knew she was doing i was like again i've seen it but i thought it was good i love manila manila's great and i felt like gia deserved to be in the top three i think you did do a good job yeah she's better than naomi i the end of naomi's really did it for me. Yeah, that's what Ross said. But I do wish she had pulled it off and then was doing a weird dance the whole time. Like just a weird old man dance with legs. I saw, so I went to Christmas Queens.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Did you go to this? You went to it? Mm-hmm. I mean, I saw it. At the Wiltern. Oh, no. So like not the RuPaul episode. At the Wiltern, they did Queens of Christmas. Oh.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And Naomi Smalls was there. What an amazing performer. Oh, really? Because I was like, I don't know what Naomi does. So she lip-synced to, I think, an unedited segment from Wendy Williams, where Wendy is, like, out of her mind, and it's perfect. And then she does Good Form by Nicki Minaj.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So, like, it's like a mash-up, and it's flawless. Ugh. does Good Form by Nicki Minaj so like it's like a mashup and it's flawless. She was amazing. Latrice lip synced to Aretha and she brought the house down. Yeah, Latrice is amazing. Latrice is incredible. I love her so much.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I love her husband Christopher. He's incredible and I missed their wedding because I had to work. You were invited to Latrice's wedding? Yes, because her and her husband, we love each other. He's the best.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Christopher's literally the best. And we met in the most insane way possible. I went and saw Latrice at the Rockwell when she was doing Cheers to Life or Here's to Life. I don't remember the name of the show. And she was lip syncing, I think, to Aretha. And I was like, wow, she reminds me of my dead mother. And I started bawling.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh, my God. And then I was like, Latrice needs to know this, which is an insane thought. Nobody needs to know that. Just go home with your feelings and enjoy your life. So then after the show, I went up to Christopher as he was, like, packing everything up. And I was like, hey, is Latrice going to come out? And he was like, I don't think so. She's tired.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I said, okay, can you just tell her that she reminds me of my dead mom? And I've never seen a person look at someone like, I was like, oh, this is what it feels like when you look at someone like they're crazy. I was like, that's the face you're giving to someone. And I was like, how do I come back from this? I should say something else. And before I could say something else,
Starting point is 00:33:58 he was like, oh, I watch your show, Listen Exactly Nicole on MTV. And I was like, I'm not crazy. And he's like, no, you still are. That was a wild thing to say Latrice was a fan? Yeah so Latrice and Christopher watched my show and then I think they watched Nailed It too I don't know
Starting point is 00:34:12 and then Latrice came out and then I was like and then Christopher was like tell Latrice what you just told me and I was like I don't want to now because now I know it's crazy and Latrice laughed and it was a great time. That's so sweet. Now they're my
Starting point is 00:34:28 best friends and I love them so much. Wow. Jealous. So cute. I'm an insane person and I'm exhausted all the time because my brain just doesn't work correctly. I love the Rockwell. The shows are so great. I also like the Rockwell. I've been meaning to see Jeff Goldblum over there. I feel like everybody
Starting point is 00:34:44 on Tinder has a picture of him. Yes, everybody does. And I usually swipe no on it. You're like, you're too basic. Well, I'm like, if that's the most interesting thing you've ever done that you think it needs to be on a dating profile, you're not that interesting. Jeff Goldblum is hot, though. I'd swipe right just for him being in the photo. Very hot.
Starting point is 00:34:59 But also, like, if I want to look at a picture of Jeff Goldblum, I have Google. And I can Google Jeff Goldblum I have google and I can google Jeff Goldblum and get him right in front of my little eyeballs that's fair that's just me though but I mean I don't know my dating profile right now I don't think I've changed it in forever yeah I was actually just looking at it because we're still matched so i could go back yeah it looks exactly i feel like you make every podcast guest look at your profile and it never changes you're so it's the guest is just reading the exact same thing every time yeah and people like to comment that i've gotten redundant and i'm like i know uh why not switch it up well i did okay so now it says something different it says definitely a thought the the happiest out there. That's not new.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Nope. But this is new. It says, isn't online dating the best? Aren't we all like just super happy to be here? What a time to be alive. Because I'm just tired. Because you love sarcasm. I do love sarcasm.
Starting point is 00:35:59 And people, I don't know. I just, have you been having any luck? Are you dating anyone right now? Whew. No. Okay. Okay. I'm seeing my exes casually and having a great time with that.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I'm going on first dates. For whatever reason, I've been swiping a lot lately and only matching with women. I swipe on both. And I swipe right way more on men than I do on women. But for whatever reason, only women are matching with me right now. So I'm just going on whatever dates kind of come my way. And lately it's been a lot of texting, a lot of like clicking and then falling flat when we meet. Yeah. And I feel like that doesn't take a lot out of you.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yes. And now there's like a hole in my heart that's like I have this person to look forward to text. They text me good morning every day. And now that's gone. And it's like I wish that I had never started texting you in the first place because now I miss it. It sucks.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Wait. How long was that person? How long were you texting them? Two weeks. Oh, OK. But it person, how long were you texting them? Two weeks. Oh, okay. But it was like every day and snapping. Oh, yeah. I think that's truly, I think when you're, okay, I think when you're communicating on
Starting point is 00:37:17 like, so like if you're texting someone, also like sending memes back and forth and sending like little videos back and forth. That I think is like, I would be like, we're in a relationship. You are mine. I bring you home to my sister and we're all going to giggle and kick our legs together and say we love everything about that. I couldn't do that. Like that is.
Starting point is 00:37:40 It does feel that way. It feels so intimate. It's so intimate, especially when you send a meme. I think memes are the most intimate because you're like, I think this is really funny. Will you think this is really funny? And then when they're not, they're like, no. You're like, oh, I didn't think it was funny either. And I think it's like another part of letting your guard down.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Maybe I'm insane, but that's truly what i feel like you don't think so i've never had someone not laugh at a meme that i sent them okay well um maybe i only send really funny memes maybe you're just like the queen of the memes i don't know sometimes i'm really bad at the internet but uh she has to decipher things for you oh all the time she oh what were we talking about last night i don't know i was talking about street scoopers like construction equipment and then she was like that's not what we were talking about but then i sent her a picture of a street scooper so she would know what i was talking about and she was like but that's not what the conversation she got really mad at me i wasn't taking taking my, I didn't take my medicine yesterday,
Starting point is 00:38:45 so I was a little all over the place. Did you take it today? I don't think so. Okay. It's, it's literally, it's a struggle. It is a struggle. Like, it's hard to remember to take it. The irony of having ADD.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Mm-hmm. I went to pick up my medicine and they're like oh no your insurance lapsed and i was like oh fuck and then the pharmacist was like isn't it funny that like you're trying to get your medication to remember to do things but you didn't remember to do the thing that would get you your medication and then he laughed really hard and i was like funny not funny yeah what the fuck but then he was like here fill this out and give it to your insurance company and they'll reimburse you. And you better believe I forgot to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah, there you go. So I paid $300 for a bottle of 30 pills. Jesus. It's awful. Our healthcare system is broken. It truly doesn't make any sense. Do you have any dates lined up? Well, I'm leaving for texas on saturday uh i was texting
Starting point is 00:39:47 this guy earlier but we're not probably not gonna meet up until january and by then he will have forgotten about me so i have i have no hopes for the future i also have zero hopes for the future um i don't know it's yeah dating in la is bleak dating in la is very bleak okay here's a question so like i smoke cigarettes i keep quitting and unquitting and you didn't you didn't like that about me yeah but you kept seeing me that's a deal breaker but you kept seeing me after you knew i smoked well you kept saying that you were trying to quit yeah yeah that's what smokers tell people and then you dash yourself with perfume and mouthwash and you're like nobody can taste or smell this well you read that book that nick recommended and it really got to you for like a minute i did I quit for two,
Starting point is 00:40:45 a month and a half. Yeah. And then I said, these nasty little things are very good for my soul. I don't know. I love a cigarette. They're delicious.
Starting point is 00:40:57 I don't get it. I've honestly tried because when I lived in Austin, I was hanging out with people in the music industry and everyone smokes. I was left out standing around outside while everyone was smoking.
Starting point is 00:41:07 So I would literally try and understand and get addicted to this thing that everyone loves. And I hate every aspect of it. It stinks and it makes my mouth feel bad and it makes me feel lightheaded in a bad way. And I hate all of it. Yeah. I don't know what it is um I like started in high school because all the cool girls would smoke in the bathroom and it was so funny to smoke in the bathroom and then go back to class reeking like cigarettes and your teacher would be like were you smoking in
Starting point is 00:41:37 the bathroom you look them in the eye and be like no and they're like I can smell it you literally smell like a lit cigarette and then I was cheap, so I would have little cuts in my bag. You put the cigarette out, and then you put it in your purse, and a cut cigarette smells worse than an actual cigarette. Oh, yeah, that's gross. And then they'd be like, you're literally carrying one that you just had lit. And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:41:57 It was just like ultimate denial. High school was fun. I just spent a lot of time lying to adults and then having no consequences. That explains a lot. Does it? Your quote unquote sense of entitlement. I do have a sense of entitlement. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Told you a lot about me. Yeah, we know each other. Oh, boy. I know. I just just i don't know i mean it's been a minute when i was looking over all of our stuff we matched in may we didn't meet until august oh shit and then we hung out until October. Really? Yeah. That's a long time. I know. Wait, August to September, September.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Oh, that's two months. Yeah. That's, yes, that's usually. That's pretty typical. Go poorly for me after two months. Yeah, I think I truly did fall off the face of the planet. I was like touring a bunch. But then also I was like, I do things that this girl doesn't like and they're not going to change.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Well, we found out that we didn't have as much in common as we thought that we would. Like I thought you would love comedy. And come to find out you don't like watching it or participating in it at all. Well, I participate in it. My job is comedy. Yeah, but other than that, you don't watch any of the shows. I would be a looney tune if I worked a 12-hour day trying to be funny and then went home and was like, I'm going to watch other people try to be funny or like leave my house to see an improv show.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Put me in an asylum. Like that would be insane. Or I thought we would both love food. Oh, yeah. I don't like nothing. You won't eat artichokes. You won't eat onions. They look crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Mushrooms. Mushrooms. Get out of here. I did have ramen for the first time, and it was good. And I was like, why didn't nobody tell me about this? We have been telling you. Soup is the best. Ramen is literally amazing.
Starting point is 00:44:13 One of many different kinds of soups that you should try. How many burritos have you eaten in your lifetime? What? I don't know. Thousands. I think I've only eaten like three. What? I like...
Starting point is 00:44:24 Oh, this is what we were talking about last night. Since this year and I were talking about food and foods that I haven't had because I'm still mystified by like nobody really was like you should try ramen. Like somebody should have just like blindfolded me and take me to a ramen place and been like, it's really good. That's what it takes to get you to try something new is blindfolding you, kidnapping you, take you to the restaurant. Yeah, because that's fun. So we were talking about burritos and I was like, well well i guess i really haven't eaten that many burritos because like i don't really go to chipotle that much and she was like do you think chipotle is the only place that has burritos i was like what like can you get one at a mexican restaurant she was like
Starting point is 00:44:58 what are you talking about i was like i never see people holding burritos in mexican restaurants she's like well they eat them with a fork and knife. And I was like, you eat them with a fork and knife? So, like, I mean, it's not that I don't like this. It's just, like, I don't really understand anything. I get confused. I can't be the only person in America who didn't know you could eat a burrito with a fork and knife. I think if I ordered one in a restaurant, I would cut it in half with a fork and knife and still eat it with my hands. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I feel like I'd never see anybody eating a burrito in a restaurant. Well, if I'm going to a Mexican restaurant like El Compadre, one of my favorite date spots, I'm going to get the fajitas or the enchiladas or something that's like a restaurant plate dinner. But if I go to a taco truck or if I go to like, I don't know, like a stand, I mean, there's so many LA Mexican like dives that are so bomb. Yeah. I don't really eat burritos.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Okay. But I would. I think I'm going to eat more burritos. I'm proud of you. Hey, thanks. Really excited about it. I had coleslaw for the first time today. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:46:03 What? For the first time? Yeah, it wasn't that bad, but I didn't love it. So I scraped most of it the first time today. Jesus. What? For the first time? Yeah, it wasn't that bad, but I didn't love it. So I scraped most of it. It was on a sandwich, so I scraped some of it off and left some of it on. Ugh. Also, like, okay, I don't like pickles. And I didn't open my burger up to see if there was pickles in it because I requested no pickles.
Starting point is 00:46:19 This was, like, two days ago. And I bit into it, and I was like, ugh, what is this, like, crunchy, weird-tasting thing? And I kept chewing. I was like, but what is it? I can't figure it out. And I swallowed it, and I was like, ugh, what is this crunchy, weird tasting thing? And I kept chewing. I was like, but what is it? I can't figure it out. And I swallowed it. And I was like, ugh, well, I don't know if I want to take another bite. There's something weird in this burger.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And then I looked at it and it was a pickle. Yeah, no, I get the pickle thing. Pickle juice ruins anything that it touches. They ruin a bun. You got to scoop the bun out. And then you have just the top of the bun. And you look like an idiot. No, and the bun still tastes like pickle.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Because the juice saturates everything. And it's ruined. No, and the bun still tastes like pickle because the juice saturates everything and it's ruined. No, I'm very salty about pickles. Um, here's a question. I already know you would date me. But why do you think I'm still single? Oh, Nicole. You can't hurt my feelings.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That must be a lie. What, that you can't hurt my feelings? Yes. You a lie. What, that you can't hurt my feelings? Yes. You can't. I mean, certainly you must know. I don't think, well, I mean, I have like ideas. Like why didn't we work out? I don't think we worked out because I don't think we were fundamentally compatible.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Also, you like wouldn't even kiss me because you were like, you taste like anhtray which is not true have you ever licked an ashtray you can figure out what something tastes like by the way it smells you don't know what that tastes like okay i just don't like that phrase um yeah i just think i ultimately think we weren't compatible okay so your your lack of communication had nothing to do with it? Sure, yes. Again, I do think texting is like, I think it's false. And I think if you have good texting and then it's not good in person, then that's also confusing. So if it's bad texting and it's better in person, I think that's better. Well, I think we had good texting and good in-person stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:07 I think it was mostly just like logistics that we got hung up on where it was like making plans and then you would forget that we made the plans and then you would bail at the last minute. It was a lot of being very disrespectful of my time. And being very inconsiderate. Okay. And putting yourself first. Okay. And that's why we stopped dating all right fair fair fair fair and you own up to putting your career first and i respect that yes um
Starting point is 00:48:38 yeah i'll take i'll take complete fault which sounds insincere after it came out of my mouth i was like that sounded very insincere but i will yes i'll take ownership of that um i think i should have been clearer that like i feel it felt like sometimes you were like upset that i didn't want to like watch a comedy or like talk about comedy because i don't want to talk about comedy with the person I date specifically because I talk about comedy constantly. That's fair. And I think that I speak in references a lot. So if the person that I'm dating doesn't know the references, then a lot is just going to go over their head and we're not going to be able to communicate in general. I found that happening with us sometimes. I would make a about brooklyn night i would be like cool cool cool
Starting point is 00:49:28 cool cool cool and you like wouldn't get that that was a reference to anything absolutely not i mean i honestly don't know very much about pop culture and i'm not sure where i've been or am all the time do you know about this book called lean in yeah marissa do you know about this book called lean in thank god okay you are literally the only other person in apparently la who doesn't know about this book because my friend said something about lean in i was like what are you talking about and then like two of my friends turned on me and they're like everyone knows this book so then i like asked the two women at the restaurant next to us i was like do you know what lean in is and they're like absolutely and my friend was like she doesn't know and they're like
Starting point is 00:50:07 oh well it's okay you know you can go home and google it she's like she's not going to and they're right I didn't until a couple days later but then I was just like why does everyone know about this book where am I I don't know it also came out like 2015 it's like 2018 I was like when when when did everyone get it when did everyone learn about these things was it the same time we were all talking about ramen what is it well I feel like you use social media to post but not necessarily to like get news and information like you're not like hanging out on Instagram or Twitter for too long like you're in and out and I feel like that's where I get a lot of my news and information is people talking about on social media so if you're not really paying attention on social media, you're going to miss
Starting point is 00:50:49 it. Fair. Was Lean In posted about on social media a bunch? Of course. Oh, my God. This is awful. But you also need to know who to follow. Like I follow The Cut, you know, or follow Paper Magazine, you know, and they'll like give you the tea i don't follow the cut or paper magazine sorry about that the cut and paper no follow from me i don't know i don't know how to stay abreast with things it's very confusing pop culture moves so fast uh the children have so many slang words that it's really hard to catch up but you also just don't care to keep up with it that's why you don't keep up with it. I guess. You really don't. Like, you've heard the fact that you care about this Lean In book so much is honestly shocking to me that it's lasted this long.
Starting point is 00:51:32 You're going to forget about it by tomorrow. Well, it just happened like four days ago. And I was just so confused. Also, the ramen thing happened like five days ago. My friend Emily Heller took me to get ramen. And I truly afterwards was like, I can't believe how good it is. She's like, what's wrong with you? We've all been telling you.
Starting point is 00:51:48 She also took me to like my first vegan restaurant and I was like, this is pretty good. She was like, what is wrong? She's always taking me to something new where I'm like, hey, I think she took me to my first Thai food place too. But you still refuse to eat artichokes. They just, I don't know how to eat them and I refuse to be embarrassed. But it's not hard. It's so easy. I don't want to be embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I don't like being embarrassed in public. I cry when I'm embarrassed. Your whole brand is being like so over the top and silly, but you can't stand being embarrassed? Yeah, because I've decided to be silly. And when I'm embarrassed, it means there was no choice in the matter. My friend, Chiraco, said once, she was like, when you send mail, you're sending it into the future. And it broke my brain. I was like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Oh, my God. That's right. And then she and my other friend, Sashira, who was sitting there, they were like, are you okay? And I was like, oh, yes. I'm embarrassed. And then I started crying because I was embarrassed that they saw my brain broke.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And then they were like, are you crying? And I was like, yes. And then I started crying harder because I was like, Chiraco's gonna tell everyone I'm a crybaby. And Chiraco's like, I'm a grown woman. I'm not gonna tell anyone that you cried at this restaurant.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Then she left and then I cried harder because I was like, she is gonna tell everybody. So like, maybe I'm just insane. Girl, a mess whatever I'm in therapy I'm figuring things out thank god for Mary trying I don't know I'm also like a pretty stoic person so I think when like I get emotional I'm emotional and it's good to purge emotions sometimes you know get it out it feels good it's cathartic sometimes Skylar do you know, get it out. It feels good. It's cathartic. Sometimes. Skylar, do you have anything you want to promote?
Starting point is 00:53:29 We've come to the end of our episode. It's funny. I thought that you'd be. What? I just thought that there would be more questions about me or about us. I feel like this is a lot about. About nothing? You liking ramen now. Well, I guess I'm in a lot about you liking ramen now.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Well, I guess I'm in a relationship with ramen, and that's what I really just wanted to reveal. I didn't eat the soupy part of it. You don't want to hear more about ramen. Well, do you want to ask me questions? No, I don't have any questions. Then what did you want to talk about? Well, no, I thought you would have questions for me. I'm the guest.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Okay, let's see. I feel like I've asked you questions. Forget it. No, I'm going to come up with some questions. Okay, what's the best part about me? Jesus. Jesus. I'm going to come up with some questions. Okay, what's the best part about me? Jesus! What kind of questions did you think I was going to ask about you? About my upbringing, my sexual orientation, my coming out, the difference between dating men and women.
Starting point is 00:54:36 When did you come out? Oh, God. You sound like you really want to know. When did you come out? Excuse me? When did you come out? Well, I never really had to know. When did you come out? Excuse me. When did you come out? Well, I never, I mean,
Starting point is 00:54:46 I never really had to come out. It was mostly just like my older sister was gay before me. She's 10 years older than me. So she was out when she was in high school. And I was raised Mormon.
Starting point is 00:54:56 So being gay was never okay. But because of her, she sort of like set the precedent for me to like be bi. And my parents have always just been
Starting point is 00:55:03 cool with it. So luckily, it's never really been a with it so luckily it's never really been a thing okay what's the difference between dating men and women jesus um i don't know i these are the questions you asked me to ask this is a dating podcast i thought we'd be talking about dating. We did. No.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Okay. I asked you what the worst date you went on is, and you wouldn't tell me. Well, I mean. Or silliest date. The silliest date? Probably with you, honestly. Because, like, remember when we went to Jumbo's and the dancer recognized you and then spent the whole time just sitting and talking to you about nailed it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:46 That was pretty silly. Yeah. That happens. Sometimes I'm too nice. But I like those girls. Also, I tip them very well. Yeah. So that also draws attention.
Starting point is 00:55:59 But also, PSA, if you go to a burlesque place or a strip club, tip the girls a dollar per song, if not more. Right. And you have to tip everyone, even if you've seen them, because they're on a shift. So you'll see them two, three times, a dollar. That's $3 to one girl. Like if there's 20 girls on, you're spending 20 bucks. That's what you should do. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Let's see. Have you ever been in love? Yeah. Have you? No. Yeah, I've been in love three times i've only been infatuated with someone like so i did an episode with my friend baron and baron was like people mistake infatuation and lust for love and the more i've thought about it the more i'm like oh i don't think I've ever like
Starting point is 00:56:45 fundamentally like been in love with somebody. I've like felt things intensely for people, but I think it was still part of the lust phase and not the love. Well, I think the difference is if it's reciprocated, that's being in love. I feel like that's the only way you can really truly love someone is if you love each other. I think you can love someone without them reciprocating. Well, that's like just an unrequited love. That's a only way you can really truly love someone is if you love each other. I think you can love someone without them reciprocating. Well, that's just an unrequited love. That's a crush, basically.
Starting point is 00:57:10 I don't know. I think you can feel deeply for someone who's given you time, affection, and is withholding. Yeah, but that's abusive. Yeah, but still love. You can be in love with an abuser, but it's still love, and I think it's still a valid love. Okay. Not a good one. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Not a healthy. Not a healthy one. Yeah. But I still think that is love. You're talking about the guy that drove you through the red light? Yeah. Well, I don't know if I was even in love with him, but he was a crazy person. He was absolutely nuts, and I kept returning being like something will change
Starting point is 00:57:45 and then sometimes it would and sometimes he would say i love you out loud and i would then take a couple days and be like do you actually mean that and then it would just be like a whole fucking thing right and i thought i was in love with him but i don't think i was i think it was very much like an infatuation where i was like, I can change this person. I was never going to change him. Yeah, that was my situation with the first. No, that's fair. The first person I was in love with, he loved me back, but he was unavailable to a certain extent. And it was agonizing because it was like you were hoping that they would change for you.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And you were holding out thinking that you would be the one that would change them. And it never happened. Yeah. But I also I'm at a point where I don't I don't want to change for anyone and I don't want to have to change anyone. I want that person to like me for me. And I know I'm weird and someone just has to like that weirdness and like just be be there with me maybe match my weirdness i don't know well do you see yourself ending up with a man or a woman like do you have a vision for yourself no i see myself ending up with a person who really appreciates me and loves me and is kind to me
Starting point is 00:58:56 uh and that took a long time to get to i i think i was for a long like a long long time was like i don't know treat me any old kind of way. It doesn't matter just as long as like you're here. And the older I get, the more I'm like, oh, being treated kindly is like really nice. Having someone ask me if hanging out before a show fucks up my mojo for a show is nice. Someone asking me if like, oh, you fly back that day. Like, are you sure you want to hang out? Or like, do you want to do a different? Like, it's nice when someone's considerate to be like oh you fly back that day like do you are you sure you want to hang out or like
Starting point is 00:59:25 do you want to do a different like it's nice when someone's considerate to be like you're tired do you want to take a day we don't have to see each other um i don't know is there any possibility that you didn't take us seriously in your mind because i'm a woman no because no because i was dating another woman while i was dating you so it was like woman time for me i don't know um was that like your first experimenting with that no no uh one of the earlier episodes i talk with this woman jojoanna who i was enamored with uh and like we hooked up i was like the last person she hooked up with before she got married and i was like why won't she love me and she's like because i was getting serious with somebody else and i was like fair um and then i'd hooked up with another lady before, two other ladies before. I don't know. I'd have to look at my Microsoft Word document.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Oh, really? Mm-hmm. I detail almost every sexual encounter I've ever had on this document. Wow. Yeah, I'm very methodical for some things and then very scatterbrained about most things. And I don't know why I do it. I think I started doing it because I was like, oh, I need to write more. And going back and reading them, I did like writing those.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I did establish a voice. And the way I write is the way I speak. So, I mean, it's not. It's not like always grammatically correct like I don't know I'm like bad at grammar and stuff but like someone someone else can fix that an editor but like I do have a voice like my writing voice matches my speaking voice which matches my stand up which matches my improv so like I think it was a exercise in that and I'm very glad I did it because I've been detailing it since I was 19 or 20. That's really cool. I just have
Starting point is 01:01:28 a list in my notes on my phone. No, it's more fun to go through. I went through it recently and read them to my friend. She was like, good lord. This is very detailed. I'll detail the dick, I'll detail the puss, I'll detail everything. And then I detail the date and everything
Starting point is 01:01:44 leading up to it so yeah that's what i do wow do you have any more questions that you want me to ask you no are you sure i'm done this was most of our relationship because i don't know i never know what to do Most of our relationship. Because I don't know. I never know what to do. Do you have anything you want to promote?
