Oh, how we've missed this. Mission Control has once again opened the lines for us to hear from our favorite people: all of you! Space Commanders Em and Gem hear voicemails and read text messages from our Earthlings posing the most intriuging questions we've heard to date. Em creates a brand new word--definition and all--and introduces one of her alter egos. Meanwhile, Gem defends her unibrow and shares her experience meeting Our Lady of the Golden Womb, Ms. Tina Knowles (aka Beyonce's mom). We even got pranked by a super secret family member! It's a rollercoaster and you'll love every bit of it.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I hate you the same. Let's go to Ready for launch.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Greetings, Earth Links, welcome back. How are you? We have
some peanuts for today's flight. They're virtual holographics. Are you
flirting with our audience?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
God? I hope I'll flirt like that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, because jem is winking, you can't hear her winking,
But if she flirts any harder, you might be able
to hear it. Hi, guys, how are you today?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We are very excited because we have hit you guys
for today's episode. We wanted to hear your questions and
give our unprofessional, unsolicited, unwanted advice.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, no, not unsolicited. It would be solicited if they're
asking us for it, okay, but one hundred percent professional.
You should not take our advice. That's the first advice
we'll give you exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And for those of you who know out there, we
do have a hotline six to six ih WPOD.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So we let you guys know that we'd be listening
to your voicemails, reading your emails, checking your text messages,
and opening up the opportunity for you to ask us
some advice.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Ooh ah, and we're here too listen.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Okay, So let's start with the voicemails.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm so excited a little bit. It's my favorite part.
You know, when people leave us voicemails, it really makes
MV and m's day. Yeah, we've received some memorable ones
that I think upon here and then, and it really
is like fuel to our engine.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah. I still remember Stephanie from season one, you see
that little incident now.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Or the mother who called us after listening to the
Grandparents episode. Oh, I think about her all the time too.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We should call her back. He left us a beautiful
message after Jem's grandparents were on board with us, just
saying how you know it helped her and that that's
why we do what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Literally, Yeah, it really is. It really is hoping that
our stories are ones that you can relate to so
you feel seen and heard and represented somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We see you. Okay, So let's put in that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Hell, we've got a lot of We've got a lot here,
so we won't be able to listen to all of them,
but we will try to listen to as many as
we can.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, all right, who's calling number one? Let's see wow.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Okay, So that being said, my question really is.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
How can we.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Make mental health more a topic of discussion.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Within the Latin community. I know it's always been a
touchy thing and.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Mental health is only now really being noticed, but.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
It's it's so important.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, for some reason, it's kind of like if you
it's like, oh, I have a strong mind, it's not
about having a strong mind.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Sometimes you need help. So m I feel like I'd
like to kind of discuss that.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
How can we make mental health more of a important
topic of discussions in the Latin community.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So, yeah, that's my that's my question, y'all? Yeah, stay out.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You Yeah, that sign's so cool.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, Wow, First of all, thank you for such an
incredible question. This is so important. I don't know about you,
but I know that in my experience, we haven't been
the most open as a community to discussions about psychology,
mental health in general, and the status of one's mind
(04:16):
and how important it is to keep that up. You know,
we go to the doctor at least once a year
for a checkup. Our minds need the same.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah. I think, especially in the Latin community, like she
touched upon, it can be a topic of shame or
something that maybe our parents or our grandparents had less
access to, and also just the struggle that a lot
of our families have gone through as immigrants. They make
it seem like, oh, it's fine, we've been through that,
Like you don't need therapy for anxiety where we're living
(04:47):
in a completely different world. So for me, how do
we bring those topics? How do we make them more
relevant in our community? We find ways to share with
the ones that we love in our community in a
safe environment, like, for example, the podcast. You know, if
we have more spaces where Latinos can speak safely, right,
(05:09):
like I always said when we were doing Red Table
and when we do the podcast. These are great things
that you can go to your family members, or go
to the community or repost and say, look, you guys,
this is a great resource for Latinos, like your gay
episode right and you know, hey, I want to show
you this, Aguela, and then I'd like to have a
conversation with you about it. Yeah, you know, as a
(05:30):
screen to open the door.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Use some kind of you know, segue to get the
conversation going. That's great advice.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
How else can we make mental health more topic of discussion,
like she asked, Well, by talking about it by destigmatizing it,
by not being afraid, by talking about your own experience
where you feel comfortable doing so, By making sure that
you hold space for those around you when they bring
to you their experiences. By educating yourself by asking questions.
(06:01):
If there's something that you don't know a lot about,
but maybe somebody is sharing with you that they're experiencing
something with their mental health. Perhaps it just helps to
be curious and keep the conversation going in whatever direction,
because as long as we're talking about it and learning
about it, I think that we'll be helping each other.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, out, I thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, well so good. Okay, next, how fun? I always
love this. I just I love our people.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But I want to call you you know.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, guys, what's up as control?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
This is Define from Philadelphia. I'm giving you, guys my invitation.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Of et.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Own home, though.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I do think I've want eat too many times.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
My question is what word do you want to be
added to the dictionary?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
And what is the definition? Oh yeah, the question is
what word do you want to be added to the dictionary?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Definition?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It is a voice?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Man?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, no, thank you, Bill?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Really, thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Can I go first this time?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I don't know if that's Bethany or Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I heard Bethany.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, whoever you are, thank you so much for that. Okay,
so you go first, because I know you probably have
like seven Yeah, it's already.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I have so many. But I'm going to do one
I tried and true that I've been saying since I'm
a kid, because my mom my dad, who cursed like sailors.
They said you can't curse, but when you're eighteen, you
say whatever you want. Anybody that knows me now knows
I curse like a folk in sailah. Okay, but I
did invent my own curse words in my own language
(08:04):
so that I could curse.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh my gosh, you found a loophole.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Loophole and one of the words was gracunga.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And what was that? What was caracunga?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So it was just like, this is what my definition
of it would be, So my I would like to
nominate gracunga and it has to be in all caps.
And the definition is the final the final feeling of
frustration before it becomes rage, you know, so like just
(08:34):
like your your last straw, like you're at your wits
end racunga and right after that you're popping off like
then you're going to the next phase. So if you
hear gracunga, run.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh, could you use kracunga in a sentence?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, it's like, well, it's more like.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Got check, got check check check.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Got nice.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, I'm just gonna scroll and let my head land
no one, Okay, do that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And while you do that, I just want to say
I love the creativity of these calls so far. We
got an et impersonation, we got to I love this, Okay, Okay,
I'll be ready.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
HI.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
Wanted to check in with you guys and tell you
that I'm loving this season obviously, and also going back
to last season, you guys said you were going to
talk about healthy food and being vegan, and I think
I'm ready to.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Make some sort of change.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
So are you going to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If not, is.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
There going to be h Emilio Stefan interview? Because Mom
and his son Gem, Mom and cousins, But I feel
like Dad is literally the drag pop So when's that happening?
(09:53):
M Gem, Mom and cousins, But I feel like Dad
is literally the jackpot.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
So when's that happening? Anyways, keep it up, guys, fight you.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So that is the best. Okay, so two part question,
and thank you for for listening. By the way, for
being here with us in season one, that means you've
been you've been with us for now forty five episodes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Congra If I can do Matthea, I can't, so I'm
gonna rely on your mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, yeah, so thank you for that. And also you're right,
you're right. We haven't done an episode with Emma's dad
and he might be the jackpot.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I listen, Dad, this is your official invitation to come
on the pod, and we've been talking about it for
a while. We did get a brief glimpse of it
when the father of the Bride Red Carpet.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Episode, Oh what do kissed Andy Garcia.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, but we only got him for like two seconds
and he was out. But you know, my dad is impatient,
so we're gonna have to somehow.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Produced part of the episode. He would just bring people. Yes,
we have be like looke Baby sing for her.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You know what, I think I can figure out a
great way we can get my dad to sit for
a while on the podcast. We bring a masuse, he
gets a massage and he'll might actually sit here for
over an hour and talk. Yeah, if he's getting a massage, Oh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Would love that. A spanglish episode for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But to answer the vegan question, also, we had the
amazing Marco Borges season one. Oh yeah, who is a
plant based trainer, creator co creator with Beyonce and Jay
Z of The Twenty two Days of Nutrition attritionists.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Just all around awesome Latino.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And we had a great conversation about being plant based
and being healthy and he's really inspirational. I have to
take more of his advice into my daily life.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, he did inspire us. So if you haven't listened
to that episode yet, we really recommend it. Yes, right
at the beginning, he nabs me for something that I've
been since working on. Okay, love that. And if we
didn't answer your question, and that means that you have
listened to the Marco Borges episode and you still feel
like there's more that we can talk about that just
I don't know, Maybe write us or or send us
(12:06):
another leave us another voicemail and we'll call you back.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, all right, next caller.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
I love that this is fun. I can do this
all it, but I won't.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Okay, My question is.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
How how can.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You meet someone? Because I'm single by choice and I
think I'm ready for a relationship. But nowadays everything is.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
You know, dating.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Websites and true dating websites.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I rather meet them.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
In person, Like what's a good place to go meet someone?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I've been single for five years by choice, but I
would love to meet come on, I'm ready, but I
just don't know how to do it.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Dating websites.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I can't some crazy people there.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And like I go on Facebook on I mean like
things that are happening this weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I just how do you do it? How would you
go out?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Well, we've been in a relationship for seven.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Years, try to meet someone. Just meet people in general.
So by meeting people, you meet other people, you meet
other people, and then eventumin you might need help one person.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
How would you do it? This is easy asking the question.
Initials are easy.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
My first name be isn't an E?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
And then lastigan with a Z.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
If you thank you, I told you I would call
I remember I'm an open book.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I know that is She was on my Instagram live
and I know her first name. I'm not going to say,
going to protect her identity.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, so she revealed herself there at the end for you, for.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Me only and whoever else is on that live easy
keep you keep your eyes out on Instagram Live.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I have so many things to say about that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, no, please go ahead if you have so many
things to say about.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It, Sam, I understand what she's saying. I mean, we
haven't been single in seven years, which is the first
thing I was going to say. But I feel like
we talk about it a lot because whether you want
to date or not, it's hard to meet people period, right.
And what she said at the end, which is so
valuable that, well, I feel like maybe a lot of
people on dating apps now, which is fine, but a
(14:36):
lot of them are already implying like, oh, you're going
to go do something sexual. We're going to meet up
pretty soon. Maybe not, because a lot of people have
met and had great relationships on Tinder, and there's a
from tender, right, but there's a connotation, right. So I
think my advice would be to think about hobbies and
things that you like, right, and go to spaces where
(14:59):
same time kind of thing. Is happening. Like, for example,
I remember there was something called meetup that wasn't about
dating at all, and it's like, oh, if you like
to go hiking, thirty people who like to go hiking
are gonna get together and go on hike. And then
a bunch of people would meet and you would meet
friends with common interests. One of them was a kayaking one.
I think I went to a couple with a friend
of mine. Cool. Yeah, and it was just meeting people
(15:20):
with like minded things. I'm pretty sure that's still a thing.
So I would, you know, get out of your comfort
zone and go to spaces that you know maybe and
do things like a library. You know, here's another thing
that's tough and scary. You can't really trust anyone out there,
so you don't want to be too open. But I'll
speak for myself. Like the pandemic and everything that's happened,
we're kind of like very closed off, right, So you know,
(15:44):
I feel like you also have to She said, she's ready.
If you're ready, maybe you're going to start to look
at scenarios in a different way. Perhaps you know a
coworker that you just want to hang out with as
a friend and then maybe their group of friends are cool,
and you never know, maybe there's something already in your
life that thinking about that way, even if it's not romantic.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I love that well easy. It sounds like you are
entering a new chapter of your life, So congratulations on that,
and that's super exciting. To kind of piggyback off what
Emily said, I would, I would say yes, more often,
I'd put yourself in situations you may normally may not
have been in because you know, as you were leading
your life in a certain way in the last five years,
(16:24):
now you're sort of entering a new frame of mind,
so you don't know, like what, like em said, what
might surprise you. I would also say that the dating
app thing is not easy, but I do know people
who have found success in it, and I can vouch
for some people that I know personally who are on there.
(16:45):
So I just meet I think that means that there
must be other gray people who aren't creepy and only
have one thing in mind, And no shame on that.
By the way, if you're just trying to meet somebody
because you just want to mess around, then more power
to you.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You better, but.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's not as scary as it's not as scary as
you think. Like I'm said, we've been together for seventy years,
so it's been a little bit that we've been out
of the market. But but we did meet at a
bar in an unexpected moment. And I will say this,
if you are somewhere where you happen to find somebody
(17:21):
that you luck eyes with and think, huh, I don't know,
maybe I'd like to go talk to a person, you
should because you never know where I get cha.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Might get you sitting on a podcast called in Our
Own World, I hope not, dude, I hope not. I'm
just kidding. That was a magical night and it was
a time in my life when I was saying yes
to a lot more too. Then we came into my
world and I told you to run away from me.
You see, I wasn't ready to date.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
She wasn't ready to date, but she wanted to.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Maybe fine, scratch everything we just said. Pretend that you
don't want to be dating in the fall right in
your lap? No, no, thank you, easy, I will keep you
right downy a secret.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Let's switch over to a text message.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Okay, oh, we're going to a text message.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Now, Hi, there, Gemminem, I'm a big fan. I'm Shay.
Earlier today, I was the co pilot in a rental
car on a trip to Disney with my lifelong friends.
My friend Ken definitely alias offered me cookies, and, knowing
I'm too polite to say no, I put the cookie
in between my teeth, and as it touched my tongue,
(18:39):
I knew something was wrong. Oh my tongue started to
tingle and swallow up. I spit the cookie out and
asked Ken if there was something in them with my
throat closing, Ken said as if he didn't know that
there was peanut butter in him. So do I dis
own my friend of yours for almost killing me? Love
your show show so much?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Shy? Oh no, Well, I feel like there's more to
the story.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, I feel like there's something that we're not knowing, because.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
A real friend you would know right away. Then it's
an accident, and you would forgive them right away.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like Jim.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
One time, by accident, we had a friend who was
allergic to all tree nuts and immediately he started reacting
and she would look at every single label and one
thing just slipped through the crack. It wasn't even her fault,
and we rushed him to the hospital and we were
so sorry and she felt so bad, but there was
He would have never, ever, ever questioned if you would
have done it on purpose?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Right, So maybe I'm worried. Maybe it had to have been.
If it's your friend, look shy. If it's your friend worried,
and you know, nothing's happened up until this point to
make you believe that this person is questionable motives. Maybe
these are quite questionable motives if what you're insinuating is
that this person knew what they were doing, but don't
(19:55):
doubt them. If you if you feel that there's some
kind of doubt, definitely talk about it and let Ken
know that you thought it was a bit strange that,
you know, there was peanut butter in the cookie, and
it maybe didn't occur to him to tell you. But
it sounds like it might have just been a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know what. Unless Ken is moniacal, you know what,
something just popped in my head. When I was growing up,
I had a kid, Matthew. He was in my class
and he was allergic to peanuts, right, And I went
to school with him for years and you know, when
you're in grade school and stuff. It's to the point
that they send a note home to the parents like
don't send anything with peanuts because they don't want to
take a risk for anyone else.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, as we got older, I remember him saying that
he a lot of people would tell him that his
peanut allergy was a lie, and like a lot of
people be like, you're not really allergic. Your throat's not
really gonna close, right, So maybe it was like, is
that what you were feeling? Maybe I need more information.
Please text us back if you hear this, because maybe
she's feeling like, oh's gonna write you know what I mean, Like, oh,
(21:01):
you'll be fine, you know what I mean? Is it
that kind of a thing, because then you have to
have a no, then you have to a conversation.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Send Ken back to Barbie.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Oh my god, this is I need to know more
about this.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Oh gosh, please call us back. We need more to
give you proper if let's go back to the voicemails.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, please some struts now. And I want peanut butter cookies.

No way, this is a real answer.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, you're just you know what You're always like, tell
me what to make? Make another almond record.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
When I was at Costco yesterday, ship and I was
literally looking at this massive bag of raw almonds, thinking,
it's been a while since I made that. You really did?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Wait for for real for real?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
It's okay, it's on record of record you for real,
for real, for real favorite cheese? Yes ever ever, no way,
yes that almund records.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Nothing beats fresh baby. And you put love in there too.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I do for love in there.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It was when we first started dating, so you were
in a piss.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It wasn't first starting. It wasn't really first started dating.
It was a couple of years in. Already's my favorite cheese.
It has to be like something stinky.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I'm trying not to eat any dairy whatsoever, but when
I do, when I do do it does usually result
in something stinky.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Extras. You like go cheese, I do like co cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I do I like stinky and moldy cheeses.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I do gratty like any Okay, I love this. Okay
another text?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Okay, the text have been proving uicy.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Hey, ladies, love the show? I want to jumpsuit. No,
but that's not my question. I need advice. I knew
something was up with my husband because he started to
hide his phone and lie about where he was.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Oh no, but I just.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Found out he's in the Gay Ends choir. I'm sorry
that I confronted him about it, obviously worried that he's gay,
and he swears it's only because he loves to sing.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Ah? I mean, I don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Don't laugh?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, I don't mean. I didn't mean to laugh because
that's not funny because either he is gay and hiding
his sexuality, or he feels like he doesn't have a
space for him to be safe to sing. I don't know.
I feel like he's gay, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you here. The hiding
his phone thing is suspicious. And that's the thing, you know,
And I've learned this through being in a relationship long
term with Emily. It gets to a point when you
spend so much time with somebody that you learn them
to a fault, to the point that you can pick
up on their micro expressions. And especially if you're like me,
(27:58):
I notice patterns. I live my life patterns. So if
Emily were to change something about how she normally does things,
I would be the first one to notice, even before
she noticed. Probably if you picked up on something like that,
then I would first tell you to trust your intuition.
It's never failed me, So if it's anything like mine,
(28:19):
I'm sure that it's leading you somewhere you want to be.
The second thing is it's not peculiar that he wants
to join a gay men's choir, because can he be
a straight man that you know, maybe has found a
group of friends that he feels more welcome with.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Why would he hide it?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Maybe he was afraid of the judgment that somebody would
think he is gay, that he's knife. Well, obviously you
know there's some there's something else there. There's you want
to maybe ask him, you know why it is that
he felt the need to hide it. And I will
say this, if your husband is gay. I wouldn't advise
you to shame him, even if in the moment you
(29:01):
know it. I mean, God, how do you give somebody
advice if their husband is gay. I just say, you know,
I don't think we're think twice. We're not qualified for
any of this. Let me just repeat that we're not
qualified for any of this. I would just say, think
twice before handling in any kind of in any kind.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Of way, I would say that actually, sexuality is obviously
a huge part of the issue because you're married, but
there are other factors that need to be addressed immediately,
like trust, you know, like if if you feel like
you need to hide and you're concealing, and even if it,
let's say, in some miracle world it is true and
he just felt ashamed of it because a life of
a straight male, they get shamed for maybe. You know,
(29:44):
just the other day we were talking about how people
we know that our straight males didn't want to go
into a gay club because, you know, didn't the thought
of men approaching them maybe scheed them out, you know.
But I would say that there are other issues in
your marriage. I need to be dress in therapy that
maybe will lead to the truth in regards to the sexuality,
(30:04):
you know, component because if he's lying and you're not
feeling like you can trust him and he gave you
an answer and you're still feeling weird, there's just you
need to work on that, that foundation of trust, which
will hopefully lead to clarity in any way and and
peace and love it anyway. But I'm so sorry about that.
That's that's that's tough. It's tough for both of you,
(30:26):
I'm sure in very very different ways. But I know
you must be hurting and feeling kind of deceived. I'm
assuming I don't know what that feels like. But if
Jem left me for a man, I would.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Hurt.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, I love you for anybody. I think you'd feel
all yeah, but you know I can't be a dude
and I don't want to, so you know, that would
just take you right out of my league. I don't
worry about the baby.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think you're good in the department.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You think my penis is adequate? Yeah? Thanks, Well, I'm
so sorry, and I hope.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That I'm sorry for what you're going to And we're
not going to pray for you. She's like, we're not
gonna pray for her.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
Don't say in my own way when I say I'm
gonna pray for you, like I'm gonna hold space.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I'm gonna think when I go to bed, and I'm
gonna be like, damn.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Are you really?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like like we think about that lady that calls with
the voicemail. You know what, You're a hater. Don't listen
to me, Ma, I'm kind for you. I pray my
own way, and I pray for people every day. If
I stop and I think and I send you a
ball of my energy, that's me giving you prayer, my prayer.
I'm not praying for you tonight, gem Ship. Anybody else
want my prayers? Damn you know, I'm just saying, hey it,
(31:33):
next question, please, Lord, I'm gonna go to the straight
man's choir. God, damn it. You'd hate your life roasted
up in the I would hate my life in the stream.
It's my punishment you would hate. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
got anymore? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, we have, we have a we have. Let's just
do a couple more. Great, all right, Dear gemminaut, Wow,
Dear gem For first of all, Hi, I'm such a
big fan Oh. I feel like this ad came at
the perfect time because I didn't know where else to turn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Let's just say.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
My name is Alice and I'm thirty four years old.
I've identified as a lesbian for the majority of my
adult life. Hey, and have had a few and have
had a few meaningful partners. I've been single for the
last two years, and about three months ago I started
a new jof and have hit it off with my coworker.
He's amazing, so hard working and so kind and hilarious,
(32:29):
and we enjoy every minute warre together. Our friendship has
deepened like I had never expected it too. Sorry, there's
some type of and I feel like I might even
be developing feelings for him. I don't know how to
tell my friends, who are mostly who are also we're
mostly also members of the LGBTQIA plus umbrella that I'm
dating a guy. It feels like I'm sleeping with the enemy,
(32:51):
but I'm actually just really enjoying myself that's on this.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Alice. Oh yes, Oh my god, Alice, Wow, what a
real you know.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I love that because it just shows you that it
doesn't matter on one side of the playing field you're on.
We are not having the right conversations surrounding sexuality, because
it doesn't matter what you've been for ten years. What
matters is that we are all capable of falling in
(33:22):
love with.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Anybody. I don't know. I feel really really passionate about
this question, actually, and I talk about this with everybody
that will listen. This is why, ultimately I wish for
a world where we don't have to come out. Because
you may feel today that you identify with this label
or you feel comfortable within this box. But then we
(33:46):
change and we evolve and we grow, and for you
and me, hopefully that will mean that we'll grow together
and we'll age together, because that's what we decided.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
But if the day of tomorrow, God forbid, I get
hit by a piano or something happens, you know, God,
would you know what I'm saying, and you so happen,
you know? Like like she sounds, Alice sounds genuinely surprised
that she was able to connect after so many years
with a man, because after having a preference for so long,
I'm sure it would be surprising too.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Like I tell you all the time, I wonder if
she named herself Alice because of a, Oh, you're talking
about the talk about generation.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, Sorry, but back to my point, you
should never feel ashamed of loving somebody or feeling good
of somebody. So as long as you're not you know,
it's obviously the person is of age, they're appropriate. You know,
so as long as you're not doing anything obviously catastrophically
wrong and impear like love who you want. And and
(34:48):
if anybody, if your friends are going to judge you
for you know, being a family. Yeah, if your friends
of your family are going to judge you for that,
then they they're not really loving you. Can additionally, they're
not they're not good for you right now. Because any
if you're happy, anybody should be happy that you're happy.
And also, you know, it doesn't matter if he's a man,
(35:10):
is he a good man? For example, this is a
valid question that I would ask, how comfortable is he
with the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Be great, because your whole life, I mean, you're not
going to just up.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Like you're not going to now pretend that you've been
a straight woman, that you don't have certain friends or
environments that now he's going to need to be a
part of. Obviously, that hopefully he's not going to be
uncomfortable in. But I would venture to guess that, since Alice,
you've fallen in love with him, that he doesn't exhibit
those qualities. So for sure, I'm sure it's scary, But
(35:41):
if your friends really love you, then they're going to
embrace you and embrace him and celebrate that love. Yeah,
get that, d girl.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I don't know whatever you want. I don't even feel
right saying that. It's okay. Don't forget that it is
a swinging door. So if you ever want to pop
over to our side, Hey, we've got cooking, maybe he'll
want to pop over with you. No, he's not welcome
on our really, babe, I'm saying, well, they can have
a threesome.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
She could. They could be a girl, any guy. Why,
she could have the best, the best of both.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
We don't need any more straight men in our spaces.
That I know that I will see now now, look
at you. No, I'm just tired of the like you
can come just because oh my straight men come in
my space.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
You know.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I will say this as a as a woman who
loves women. It is very tiring because they're in back
in my dating age. And I'm not saying that this
is something that would have I would have ever pursued,
But there were a lot of couples that were on
Tinder seeking a woman, and I'm like, you know, like,
what makes you think that if a woman wants to
sleep with your woman, she wants to sleep with you
(36:48):
no offense. Like more often than not, she probably does.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I know some people that are into sleeping with couples.
It's not about the man, but it wasn't the couple.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
The woman would advertise herself and then yeah, it was
like the woman on the dating site would she'd be like, oh,
by the way, me and my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah no, but Alice, you're good. Alice is good. Yeah,
I got this. We love you and accept you. Of course.
Of course, as long as you're not a misogynist, pig,
gay hater, we're good.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Right exactly. He has to, you know, have certain qualities.
Just be true to yourself and be true to what
feels good to you. Peace or pleasure, babe, that's my
model for twenty twenty three. Peace or pleasure.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And if you still have your period, to use a condom,
because I know that lesbians.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, she's four.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, use a condom because you haven't been having to
use those.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Oh no, yeah, remember babies. That's something that's.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Advice I can give you.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
No love, no love, jeez, that's something we take for granted.
I don't Oh my gosh, Okay, listen to a couple
of voicemails. A couple Okay, so we have let's just
pick water or two more. Okay, voicemails, one or two voicemails.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Okay, I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Whole scream scirl, she's picking Ami.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
Hello there. So I wanted some advibe in regards to
my husband and I not being on the same page
about starting a family. I am on birth control and
obviously my biological clock is.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
Ticking as I'm getting older and well into my mid thirties,
and my husband doesn't want me to get off birth
control because he is not ready to be a dad yet.
So I need some advice of how I can approach
him the situation because I really don't know what to do.
(38:50):
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Hi did she say if they were married?
Speaker 10 (38:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Husband, Okay, I don't. First, you're not alone there, you know?
Up until I want to say our generation. Maybe our
parents generation, women really were valued mostly for their womb,
(39:19):
and we've been seen as less than or viewed as
less than if we choose not to have a family,
if we can't have a family. And I love how
much the conversation is changing, and how many times I
hear somebody say, you know, I'm just not gonna have kids,
because I personally think that there are just way too
(39:41):
many parents out there that truly, truly, truly in their
heart of hearts, didn't wish to be parents and just
kind of rolled with the punches because those were the
cards that they were dealt. And you know, it's not
an easy it's not an easy task and it shouldn't
be taken lightly when you are assuming the responsibility of
parenthood to raise a child, raise a life that will
later a contribute and form part of society. So for
(40:06):
your husband and you, I would say, I think that
it's important that you figure out how important it is
to you to start a family, because, as you mentioned,
your biological clock is taking and of course there are
(40:27):
a lot of other ways that you can have a family.
A lot of kids out there that don't have a
family who could really benefit from a parent who really
intentionally wants to be a parent. But I think that
it's kind of a really big deal that you and
your husband are not on the same page when it
(40:47):
comes to this topic, because it usually is something that
is a deal breaker for relationships.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
So what can you do?
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Well, if you are in an otherwise happy marriage and
you want to work this out, but you're aware that
your biological clock is ticking, then I'd really recommend for
you yourself, because the reality is you have to live
for yourself. There's no guarantee that your marriage will last
forever as which as we all wish for it. To
(41:17):
maybe consider freezing your eggs. Yeah, doing something for you
in case of a raining day. And I hate to
say it like that, but in case you know, things
don't pan out the way that you originally expected them to.
I'm sure you didn't expect to be in this position.
Make sure that you have your own back because what
you don't want to do is past this period. And
(41:39):
I know people personally who have wanted to be mothers
and passed through biological period and live to regret it.
Don't pass this period. If you know that you want
to be a mother, you can be a mother. It
doesn't have to be in the traditional sense, it doesn't
have to be in any sense that anyone has expected
or tall you to do it beforehand. You can be
(42:02):
an incredible parent and provide a loving household, be it
as a single parent or in another phase of your life.
And again I would really just ask yourself how much
how much of a deal breaker is this for you?
And don't rush. Don't rush your partner into something they
(42:23):
don't want to do, because as much as you may
want to be a parent, it's absolutely valid that he
doesn't want to be, and he shouldn't be if he
doesn't want to be. That's really the truth.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Yeah, I think it's complicated because also there could be
a possibility that when you get married, you know, you
have all these ideas with your partner about yeah, we're
gonna have kids and yeah this, But then you start
to have life and time starts passing and maybe maybe
he'll never be ready. Maybe he wasn't ready and he
(42:54):
just told you he was ready. But either way, you
don't want to co parent with someone who doesn't want
to be a parent. No, And he also can't trap
you in your marriage just because you're married. You know,
if he doesn't want children. So my personal recommendation, get
a therapist. Yeah, get a therapist to work out a therapist,
(43:14):
you know, to work out the issues between you two.
And then, like jem I would say, if you're feeling
a kind of scientific way about your biological clock ticking,
which is very valid, go to the doctor. Get a
check up, you know, maybe also telling them telling you
the quality of your eggs and your you know, your
your environment, you can tell you know how that is.
(43:35):
And he might say, no, you're good to go. You
got this many years or not. But if you have
the money, because that's the thing, it's very expensive, which
you also have to acknowledge if you have the money
to do so, you know, it's a great it's a
great great, it's a great option. But you know, get
a therapist and work on talking about that in your
marriage and ultimately find out because what you don't want
(43:56):
to do is also for him to just say, okay, fine,
let's do it, and then you have a child for
the rest of you and he could grow to resent you,
and then that could just be toxic for the marriage,
the child and everybody.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Yeah, the person who's who? Who is most affected is
the kid for sure. Yeah, and I'm sorry for what
you're going through and you you gave even better advice
than I could have. Seek a therapist, seek a couple's therapists,
and then maybe seek also one for you. Yeah, because
it's good to have some additional support while you navigate
(44:31):
something as hard as this.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
All right, great questions everyone, Thank you before we let
you go. Oh we have one more voicemail, one more
(44:56):
squeezed in. All right, consolation voicemail before we go to
space news.
Speaker 8 (45:00):
Oh my dad, how are your ladies?
Speaker 6 (45:05):
It's Maddie from St.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
Louis.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
How are the two groove your aliens doing.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
On this day?
Speaker 8 (45:13):
I love that I'm actually going to work, getting ready
for work and trying not to die in this last
hopeful heat wave.
Speaker 6 (45:25):
Anyway, I hope that your poeas vade us for this
out of retirement, for this, I totally re listened to.
Speaker 8 (45:33):
The first Q and A for inspiration on this. So
to your goats, Oh hi, hi, is there something you've
already done that makes you super proud of or that
you've never thought that you do? And conversely, is there
(45:58):
something that you haven't done that's been weighing on you
to do. I know that Jim has previously said on
your Glory episode that she wants to write a book
or like an anthology of poems. But is there anything
else that you that like really speaks to you, that
(46:20):
you want to do or experience, whether it's big or small.
Speaker 6 (46:25):
Also, when are you coming to Saint.
Speaker 8 (46:29):
And I can show am these gray hairs that I'm
currently looking.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
At my head?
Speaker 5 (46:34):
You are not alone.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Anyway.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
I love you girls, Thanks for always bringing light into
everyone's lives. I can't wait to share what everyone asks.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
All right, bye, Ah may we love you and Hazel,
that's actually the best last.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Voicemail. I'm gonna make it quick because she said something
and you're proud of something that you haven't done. Okay,
I never would Mad is the best. Thank you, Mammie.
Also you and literally before we sat down, I was
crying about my grand had Hi. You felt me and
I do feel seen even though these are gonna go,
so let's get them both died. Girl. Anyway, one thing
(47:19):
that I'm really proud of so far is the people
that we've had on these couches for our podcast. I
reach have learned so much, had some of the most
amazing conversations of my life and met some of the
coolest people here on these couches with you. So I'm very,
very proud of that. However, something that has been on
my freaking soul that is literally killing me. If I
(47:40):
don't do it, I feel like, for one more second,
I'm gonna just explode. Is a new album. I need
to write music, please, I need Getny to go tell
you guys in the way that I know best through music, what.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Going on, because it's gonna be a it's been a
decade over them an old bitch.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
But yeah, so so yeah, and and you know, you
guys out there, And that's a great question because there's
always something. You always want to have, goals and things
that you want to attain. You don't want to be
too hard on yourself, but I think the best way
to get to those goals is to take little steps. Yeah,
little steps and look at the silver lining. But yeah,
(48:22):
but we heart you. What about you, Joe? Okay, something
that I'm proud of.
Speaker 6 (48:34):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
I feel like I haven't done.
Speaker 10 (48:36):
Much well fuck my drag, Well, I I would say
the same as you. I feel like I haven't done
much styled for Vogue had already done that.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
I don't have done that podcast, created the whole branding
and brand for it, turned around our studio.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
But yeah, but well it's so hard for me because
the way my brain works is like that those are mom.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah, I did and told her she had a golden wound.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
She does.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
Tana miss Tina for so she was so lovely she
and she of course she had to be in a
head to toe gold outfit because like, what else would
you be in. No, I'm not proud because I met
Miss Tina, although that is a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
You know what I would be proud of if I
were you right now, tell me your freaking eyebrow, my brow.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
I'm so proud of my Maddie from Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
I have the truth.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Here's the truth, thanks to me. You're so right. And
I actually told em just this morning. I was like, explain,
explain this to me, okay, And I want to get
closer to the camera so that those of you who
are watching and really see.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
This, they could probably hear your unibrow. I could probably hear.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
I want to make sure that that thing is fluffed
up for the camera, all right, So I have been
plucking my eyebrow, my unibrow.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
Hey, there's food in it.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
That's so funny. Since I was at least like ten,
I would always get bullied for it, Like you would
not even imagine how many different ways I got bullied
for my unibrow. Because these things are serious. It looks
like two poisonous caterpillars mating on my forehead. It's not
the vibe beautiful. Well I didn't think so. I didn't
used to think so, because they are serious, and you know,
(50:22):
big eyebrows were in a thing when we were growing up.
Little eyebrows were a thing. So recently I've started looking
back at my life as are you Drinking usually makes
you do, and I've realized that there are certain things
that I've just been doing or not doing for kind
of a long time now, and as a fun little experiment,
(50:44):
I'm like starting to change them, just you know why not.
So one of them was realizing that I've never by
choice ever grown out, consciously grown out my unibrow because
I don't know not to mention that it just brings
me complete and total pleasure, Like just the act of plucking.
(51:05):
I just love it so much. I'm a pimple popper.
For those of you who are wondering, I love popping pimples.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
I love plucking eye loves to tell me to pop
on and then literally scold me because I'm not doing
it right.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
No, she's a terrible pimple popper. If you ever have
a pimple that you can't reach, don't ask them to
do it. She can do so many of these.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Don't ask me to do that.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Literally, love it. No, I like you, like you love
doing that. You're also he's a closeted pimple. Anyway, It's okay,
It's okay. We're there's room.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
Here in our club.
Speaker 3 (51:35):
So so, my eyebrow hairs are something that I'm really
proud of because these babies have been actively plucked out
of my face every couple of days for years, and
three of them have grown back to the point that
(51:56):
they are taller than the rest of my eyebrow hairs.
Like the resilience on this baby a war hero could never.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
Literally it's a pretty epic.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
I'm so proud of those hairs. Okay, thank you for
reminding me.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (52:12):
You know, I love your And to answer the second
part of your question, what's something that that's been eating
away at me to do? I don't want to share
it yet, but just put a pin on.
Speaker 9 (52:27):
That for me.
Speaker 3 (52:28):
Know that when I'm ready, I will be sharing with
you guys.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
But there is a.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
New adventure that I've been wanting to embark on for
the last couple of years that I've been talking to
EM and other people about that I think about almost
every day at this point, probably multiple times a day.
So I'm superstitious you might already know that about me.
So I'm not going to tell you what it is,
but it's definitely me stepping out of my comfort zone.
(53:00):
So I'm excited to see where it might take me.
Speaker 2 (53:02):
Well, I can vouch for the fact that anything that
Jem doesn't want to talk about you should be very
excited about because.
Speaker 3 (53:09):
It means she's keeping it safe, so it's ready.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (53:16):
Oh but you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (53:18):
Yeah, Okay, she miss.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
That's why I'm excited and you should be excited.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
But we are almost forgetting something very important.
Speaker 6 (53:28):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (53:30):
Space Welcome Home Crew six A crew Dragon spacecraft splash
down on the coast of Florida early September fourth, bringing
back a crew from the United States, United Arab Emirates
and Russia who spent six months on the International Space Station.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
That means that they spent one hundred and eighty six
days in space starting with their launch March second on
the Falcon nine. The return was delayed two days to
wait for favorable weather conditions in the splashdown zones which
had been affected by Hurricane Italia Bali a Ya. Now
it takes about five months to refurbish the craft and
(54:07):
send it back up into space. But for the next flight,
they're saying that it's going to be the voice actors
of SpongeBob and Obama.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
No way, no way, Oh.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
Like what, Although I wouldn't believe it does being in
space impair astronauts immune systems. A new study has examined
how T cells of the human immune system are affected
by weightlessness. The results could explain why astronauts T cells
become less active and less effective at fighting infection that
(54:38):
is not good. The results, which are published in the
journal Science Advances, found that the T fells change the
gene expression, that is to say, the genes were active
which were not, and after fourteen days of weightlessness, they
were extremely susceptible to infection. Mmmm. So if you want
to travel to a distant planet, pack a lot of
(54:58):
Vicks vapor rub because if you will be arriving feeling
like space coca, oh, space cock. The largest storm in
the Solar System, a ten thousand mile wide anti cyclone
called the Great Red Spot, has decorated Jupiter's surface for
hundreds of years. A new study shows that Saturn, though
(55:19):
much blander and less colorful than Jupiter, also has long
lasting megastorms with impacts deep in the atmosphere that persists
guess how long for centuries? That's like over one hundred years, dudes.
Megastorms occur approximately every twenty to thirty years on Saturn
and are similar to hurricanes on Earth a little much,
(55:41):
much larger. But unlike Earth's hurricanes, no one knows what
causes these megastorms. So we may be in hurricane season
over here and ripping people's hair out for toilet paper,
but at least Italia will not last one hundred years,
even though that is aba honey. Yeah, and this has
been space news.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
That was a great space news. Hey, I'm telling you,
lately space has been popping space has been popping, Yeah,
popping off. Oh that was so fun. I honestly love
hearing from you guys. It's one of my favorite parts
of the show.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Yeah, me too. Honestly, I would sit here in a
room and talk to you about these things and learn forever.
But what makes it magical for me is the moments
when we feel you, guys, and we hear you, guys,
and to realize that you're listening to our wonderfully strange,
often illuminating conversations with each other. But we feel you.
(56:42):
You know, we appreciate you, We know those of you
that are out there listening, and if you're just joining us, Hi,
how are you? We love you too, And yeah, I
hope we should make this a seasonal thing to always
do at least one of these a season. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (56:56):
I love that you're down prepping for season three, already.
Speaker 2 (56:59):
Down like a clown in London town.
Speaker 3 (57:01):
As I'm said, it means the world to us to
know that our words are not falling on deaf ears,
and that hopefully somewhere out there, you guys are feeling
a little bit less alone on this journey, knowing that well,
we're here, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (57:21):
We're here, we're queer, We're not going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (57:23):
So thank you for being part of our in our
own world family. We couldn't do it without you.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
We heart you, and outer space is a better place
for it. Yeah, and by the way, just because the
episode is over doesn't mean you can't still call us
and leave us questions and leave us.
Speaker 3 (57:37):
We're listening.
Speaker 2 (57:37):
You never know, we might just call back. We've done
it before, we have.
Speaker 3 (57:42):
Well, we love you, guys, we love Yeah. We've got
you next week.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Bye.

I hate you the same. Let's go to Ready for launch.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Greetings, Earth Links, welcome back. How are you? We have
some peanuts for today's flight. They're virtual holographics. Are you
flirting with our audience?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
God? I hope I'll flirt like that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, because jem is winking, you can't hear her winking,
But if she flirts any harder, you might be able
to hear it. Hi, guys, how are you today?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We are very excited because we have hit you guys
for today's episode. We wanted to hear your questions and
give our unprofessional, unsolicited, unwanted advice.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, no, not unsolicited. It would be solicited if they're
asking us for it, okay, but one hundred percent professional.
You should not take our advice. That's the first advice
we'll give you exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And for those of you who know out there, we
do have a hotline six to six ih WPOD.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So we let you guys know that we'd be listening
to your voicemails, reading your emails, checking your text messages,
and opening up the opportunity for you to ask us
some advice.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Ooh ah, and we're here too listen.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Okay, So let's start with the voicemails.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm so excited a little bit. It's my favorite part.
You know, when people leave us voicemails, it really makes
MV and m's day. Yeah, we've received some memorable ones
that I think upon here and then, and it really
is like fuel to our engine.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah. I still remember Stephanie from season one, you see
that little incident now.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Or the mother who called us after listening to the
Grandparents episode. Oh, I think about her all the time too.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We should call her back. He left us a beautiful
message after Jem's grandparents were on board with us, just
saying how you know it helped her and that that's
why we do what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Literally, Yeah, it really is. It really is hoping that
our stories are ones that you can relate to so
you feel seen and heard and represented somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We see you. Okay, So let's put in that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Hell, we've got a lot of We've got a lot here,
so we won't be able to listen to all of them,
but we will try to listen to as many as
we can.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, all right, who's calling number one? Let's see wow.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Okay, So that being said, my question really is.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
How can we.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Make mental health more a topic of discussion.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Within the Latin community. I know it's always been a
touchy thing and.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Mental health is only now really being noticed, but.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
It's it's so important.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, for some reason, it's kind of like if you
it's like, oh, I have a strong mind, it's not
about having a strong mind.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Sometimes you need help. So m I feel like I'd
like to kind of discuss that.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
How can we make mental health more of a important
topic of discussions in the Latin community.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So, yeah, that's my that's my question, y'all? Yeah, stay out.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You Yeah, that sign's so cool.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, Wow, First of all, thank you for such an
incredible question. This is so important. I don't know about you,
but I know that in my experience, we haven't been
the most open as a community to discussions about psychology,
mental health in general, and the status of one's mind
(04:16):
and how important it is to keep that up. You know,
we go to the doctor at least once a year
for a checkup. Our minds need the same.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah. I think, especially in the Latin community, like she
touched upon, it can be a topic of shame or
something that maybe our parents or our grandparents had less
access to, and also just the struggle that a lot
of our families have gone through as immigrants. They make
it seem like, oh, it's fine, we've been through that,
Like you don't need therapy for anxiety where we're living
(04:47):
in a completely different world. So for me, how do
we bring those topics? How do we make them more
relevant in our community? We find ways to share with
the ones that we love in our community in a
safe environment, like, for example, the podcast. You know, if
we have more spaces where Latinos can speak safely, right,
(05:09):
like I always said when we were doing Red Table
and when we do the podcast. These are great things
that you can go to your family members, or go
to the community or repost and say, look, you guys,
this is a great resource for Latinos, like your gay
episode right and you know, hey, I want to show
you this, Aguela, and then I'd like to have a
conversation with you about it. Yeah, you know, as a
(05:30):
screen to open the door.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Use some kind of you know, segue to get the
conversation going. That's great advice.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
How else can we make mental health more topic of discussion,
like she asked, Well, by talking about it by destigmatizing it,
by not being afraid, by talking about your own experience
where you feel comfortable doing so, By making sure that
you hold space for those around you when they bring
to you their experiences. By educating yourself by asking questions.
(06:01):
If there's something that you don't know a lot about,
but maybe somebody is sharing with you that they're experiencing
something with their mental health. Perhaps it just helps to
be curious and keep the conversation going in whatever direction,
because as long as we're talking about it and learning
about it, I think that we'll be helping each other.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, out, I thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, well so good. Okay, next, how fun? I always
love this. I just I love our people.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But I want to call you you know.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, guys, what's up as control?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
This is Define from Philadelphia. I'm giving you, guys my invitation.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Of et.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Own home, though.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I do think I've want eat too many times.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
My question is what word do you want to be
added to the dictionary?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
And what is the definition? Oh yeah, the question is
what word do you want to be added to the dictionary?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Definition?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It is a voice?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Man?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, no, thank you, Bill?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Really, thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Can I go first this time?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I don't know if that's Bethany or Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I heard Bethany.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, whoever you are, thank you so much for that. Okay,
so you go first, because I know you probably have
like seven Yeah, it's already.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I have so many. But I'm going to do one
I tried and true that I've been saying since I'm
a kid, because my mom my dad, who cursed like sailors.
They said you can't curse, but when you're eighteen, you
say whatever you want. Anybody that knows me now knows
I curse like a folk in sailah. Okay, but I
did invent my own curse words in my own language
(08:04):
so that I could curse.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh my gosh, you found a loophole.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Loophole and one of the words was gracunga.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And what was that? What was caracunga?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So it was just like, this is what my definition
of it would be, So my I would like to
nominate gracunga and it has to be in all caps.
And the definition is the final the final feeling of
frustration before it becomes rage, you know, so like just
(08:34):
like your your last straw, like you're at your wits
end racunga and right after that you're popping off like
then you're going to the next phase. So if you
hear gracunga, run.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh, could you use kracunga in a sentence?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, it's like, well, it's more like.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Got check, got check check check.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Got nice.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, I'm just gonna scroll and let my head land
no one, Okay, do that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And while you do that, I just want to say
I love the creativity of these calls so far. We
got an et impersonation, we got to I love this, Okay, Okay,
I'll be ready.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
HI.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
Wanted to check in with you guys and tell you
that I'm loving this season obviously, and also going back
to last season, you guys said you were going to
talk about healthy food and being vegan, and I think
I'm ready to.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Make some sort of change.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
So are you going to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If not, is.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
There going to be h Emilio Stefan interview? Because Mom
and his son Gem, Mom and cousins, But I feel
like Dad is literally the drag pop So when's that happening?
(09:53):
M Gem, Mom and cousins, But I feel like Dad
is literally the jackpot.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
So when's that happening? Anyways, keep it up, guys, fight you.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So that is the best. Okay, so two part question,
and thank you for for listening. By the way, for
being here with us in season one, that means you've
been you've been with us for now forty five episodes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Congra If I can do Matthea, I can't, so I'm
gonna rely on your mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, yeah, so thank you for that. And also you're right,
you're right. We haven't done an episode with Emma's dad
and he might be the jackpot.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I listen, Dad, this is your official invitation to come
on the pod, and we've been talking about it for
a while. We did get a brief glimpse of it
when the father of the Bride Red Carpet.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Episode, Oh what do kissed Andy Garcia.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, but we only got him for like two seconds
and he was out. But you know, my dad is impatient,
so we're gonna have to somehow.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Produced part of the episode. He would just bring people. Yes,
we have be like looke Baby sing for her.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You know what, I think I can figure out a
great way we can get my dad to sit for
a while on the podcast. We bring a masuse, he
gets a massage and he'll might actually sit here for
over an hour and talk. Yeah, if he's getting a massage, Oh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Would love that. A spanglish episode for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But to answer the vegan question, also, we had the
amazing Marco Borges season one. Oh yeah, who is a
plant based trainer, creator co creator with Beyonce and Jay
Z of The Twenty two Days of Nutrition attritionists.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Just all around awesome Latino.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And we had a great conversation about being plant based
and being healthy and he's really inspirational. I have to
take more of his advice into my daily life.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, he did inspire us. So if you haven't listened
to that episode yet, we really recommend it. Yes, right
at the beginning, he nabs me for something that I've
been since working on. Okay, love that. And if we
didn't answer your question, and that means that you have
listened to the Marco Borges episode and you still feel
like there's more that we can talk about that just
I don't know, Maybe write us or or send us
(12:06):
another leave us another voicemail and we'll call you back.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, all right, next caller.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
I love that this is fun. I can do this
all it, but I won't.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Okay, My question is.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
How how can.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You meet someone? Because I'm single by choice and I
think I'm ready for a relationship. But nowadays everything is.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
You know, dating.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Websites and true dating websites.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I rather meet them.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
In person, Like what's a good place to go meet someone?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I've been single for five years by choice, but I
would love to meet come on, I'm ready, but I
just don't know how to do it.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Dating websites.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I can't some crazy people there.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And like I go on Facebook on I mean like
things that are happening this weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I just how do you do it? How would you
go out?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Well, we've been in a relationship for seven.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Years, try to meet someone. Just meet people in general.
So by meeting people, you meet other people, you meet
other people, and then eventumin you might need help one person.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
How would you do it? This is easy asking the question.
Initials are easy.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
My first name be isn't an E?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
And then lastigan with a Z.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
If you thank you, I told you I would call
I remember I'm an open book.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I know that is She was on my Instagram live
and I know her first name. I'm not going to say,
going to protect her identity.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, so she revealed herself there at the end for you, for.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Me only and whoever else is on that live easy
keep you keep your eyes out on Instagram Live.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I have so many things to say about that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, no, please go ahead if you have so many
things to say about.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It, Sam, I understand what she's saying. I mean, we
haven't been single in seven years, which is the first
thing I was going to say. But I feel like
we talk about it a lot because whether you want
to date or not, it's hard to meet people period, right.
And what she said at the end, which is so
valuable that, well, I feel like maybe a lot of
people on dating apps now, which is fine, but a
(14:36):
lot of them are already implying like, oh, you're going
to go do something sexual. We're going to meet up
pretty soon. Maybe not, because a lot of people have
met and had great relationships on Tinder, and there's a
from tender, right, but there's a connotation, right. So I
think my advice would be to think about hobbies and
things that you like, right, and go to spaces where
(14:59):
same time kind of thing. Is happening. Like, for example,
I remember there was something called meetup that wasn't about
dating at all, and it's like, oh, if you like
to go hiking, thirty people who like to go hiking
are gonna get together and go on hike. And then
a bunch of people would meet and you would meet
friends with common interests. One of them was a kayaking one.
I think I went to a couple with a friend
of mine. Cool. Yeah, and it was just meeting people
(15:20):
with like minded things. I'm pretty sure that's still a thing.
So I would, you know, get out of your comfort
zone and go to spaces that you know maybe and
do things like a library. You know, here's another thing
that's tough and scary. You can't really trust anyone out there,
so you don't want to be too open. But I'll
speak for myself. Like the pandemic and everything that's happened,
we're kind of like very closed off, right, So you know,
(15:44):
I feel like you also have to She said, she's ready.
If you're ready, maybe you're going to start to look
at scenarios in a different way. Perhaps you know a
coworker that you just want to hang out with as
a friend and then maybe their group of friends are cool,
and you never know, maybe there's something already in your
life that thinking about that way, even if it's not romantic.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I love that well easy. It sounds like you are
entering a new chapter of your life, So congratulations on that,
and that's super exciting. To kind of piggyback off what
Emily said, I would, I would say yes, more often,
I'd put yourself in situations you may normally may not
have been in because you know, as you were leading
your life in a certain way in the last five years,
(16:24):
now you're sort of entering a new frame of mind,
so you don't know, like what, like em said, what
might surprise you. I would also say that the dating
app thing is not easy, but I do know people
who have found success in it, and I can vouch
for some people that I know personally who are on there.
(16:45):
So I just meet I think that means that there
must be other gray people who aren't creepy and only
have one thing in mind, And no shame on that.
By the way, if you're just trying to meet somebody
because you just want to mess around, then more power
to you.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You better, but.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's not as scary as it's not as scary as
you think. Like I'm said, we've been together for seventy years,
so it's been a little bit that we've been out
of the market. But but we did meet at a
bar in an unexpected moment. And I will say this,
if you are somewhere where you happen to find somebody
(17:21):
that you luck eyes with and think, huh, I don't know,
maybe I'd like to go talk to a person, you
should because you never know where I get cha.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Might get you sitting on a podcast called in Our
Own World, I hope not, dude, I hope not. I'm
just kidding. That was a magical night and it was
a time in my life when I was saying yes
to a lot more too. Then we came into my
world and I told you to run away from me.
You see, I wasn't ready to date.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
She wasn't ready to date, but she wanted to.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Maybe fine, scratch everything we just said. Pretend that you
don't want to be dating in the fall right in
your lap? No, no, thank you, easy, I will keep you
right downy a secret.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Let's switch over to a text message.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Okay, oh, we're going to a text message.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Now, Hi, there, Gemminem, I'm a big fan. I'm Shay.
Earlier today, I was the co pilot in a rental
car on a trip to Disney with my lifelong friends.
My friend Ken definitely alias offered me cookies, and, knowing
I'm too polite to say no, I put the cookie
in between my teeth, and as it touched my tongue,
(18:39):
I knew something was wrong. Oh my tongue started to
tingle and swallow up. I spit the cookie out and
asked Ken if there was something in them with my
throat closing, Ken said as if he didn't know that
there was peanut butter in him. So do I dis
own my friend of yours for almost killing me? Love
your show show so much?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Shy? Oh no, Well, I feel like there's more to
the story.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, I feel like there's something that we're not knowing, because.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
A real friend you would know right away. Then it's
an accident, and you would forgive them right away.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like Jim.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
One time, by accident, we had a friend who was
allergic to all tree nuts and immediately he started reacting
and she would look at every single label and one
thing just slipped through the crack. It wasn't even her fault,
and we rushed him to the hospital and we were
so sorry and she felt so bad, but there was
He would have never, ever, ever questioned if you would
have done it on purpose?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Right, So maybe I'm worried. Maybe it had to have been.
If it's your friend, look shy. If it's your friend worried,
and you know, nothing's happened up until this point to
make you believe that this person is questionable motives. Maybe
these are quite questionable motives if what you're insinuating is
that this person knew what they were doing, but don't
(19:55):
doubt them. If you if you feel that there's some
kind of doubt, definitely talk about it and let Ken
know that you thought it was a bit strange that,
you know, there was peanut butter in the cookie, and
it maybe didn't occur to him to tell you. But
it sounds like it might have just been a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know what. Unless Ken is moniacal, you know what,
something just popped in my head. When I was growing up,
I had a kid, Matthew. He was in my class
and he was allergic to peanuts, right, And I went
to school with him for years and you know, when
you're in grade school and stuff. It's to the point
that they send a note home to the parents like
don't send anything with peanuts because they don't want to
take a risk for anyone else.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, as we got older, I remember him saying that
he a lot of people would tell him that his
peanut allergy was a lie, and like a lot of
people be like, you're not really allergic. Your throat's not
really gonna close, right, So maybe it was like, is
that what you were feeling? Maybe I need more information.
Please text us back if you hear this, because maybe
she's feeling like, oh's gonna write you know what I mean, Like, oh,
(21:01):
you'll be fine, you know what I mean? Is it
that kind of a thing, because then you have to
have a no, then you have to a conversation.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Send Ken back to Barbie.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Oh my god, this is I need to know more
about this.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Oh gosh, please call us back. We need more to
give you proper if let's go back to the voicemails.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, please some struts now. And I want peanut butter cookies.

No way, this is a real answer.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, you're just you know what You're always like, tell

Speaker 3 (25:37):
When I was at Costco yesterday, ship and I was
literally looking at this massive bag of raw almonds, thinking,
it's been a while since I made that. You really did?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Wait for for real for real?

It's okay, it's on record of record you for real,

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Nothing beats fresh baby. And you put love in there too.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I do for love in there.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It was when we first started dating, so you were
in a piss.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It wasn't first starting. It wasn't really first started dating.
It was a couple of years in. Already's my favorite cheese.
It has to be like something stinky.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I'm trying not to eat any dairy whatsoever, but when
I do, when I do do it does usually result
in something stinky.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Extras. You like go cheese, I do like co cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I do I like stinky and moldy cheeses.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I do gratty like any Okay, I love this. Okay
another text?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Okay, the text have been proving uicy.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Hey, ladies, love the show? I want to jumpsuit. No,
but that's not my question. I need advice. I knew
something was up with my husband because he started to
hide his phone and lie about where he was.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Oh no, but I just.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Found out he's in the Gay Ends choir. I'm sorry
that I confronted him about it, obviously worried that he's gay,
and he swears it's only because he loves to sing.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Ah? I mean, I don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Don't laugh?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, I don't mean. I didn't mean to laugh because
that's not funny because either he is gay and hiding
his sexuality, or he feels like he doesn't have a
space for him to be safe to sing. I don't know.
I feel like he's gay, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you here. The hiding
his phone thing is suspicious. And that's the thing, you know,
And I've learned this through being in a relationship long
term with Emily. It gets to a point when you
spend so much time with somebody that you learn them
to a fault, to the point that you can pick
up on their micro expressions. And especially if you're like me,
(27:58):
I notice patterns. I live my life patterns. So if
Emily were to change something about how she normally does things,
I would be the first one to notice, even before
she noticed. Probably if you picked up on something like that,
then I would first tell you to trust your intuition.
It's never failed me, So if it's anything like mine,
(28:19):
I'm sure that it's leading you somewhere you want to be.
The second thing is it's not peculiar that he wants
to join a gay men's choir, because can he be
a straight man that you know, maybe has found a
group of friends that he feels more welcome with.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Why would he hide it?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Maybe he was afraid of the judgment that somebody would
think he is gay, that he's knife. Well, obviously you
know there's some there's something else there. There's you want
to maybe ask him, you know why it is that
he felt the need to hide it. And I will
say this, if your husband is gay. I wouldn't advise
you to shame him, even if in the moment you
(29:01):
know it. I mean, God, how do you give somebody
advice if their husband is gay. I just say, you know,
I don't think we're think twice. We're not qualified for
any of this. Let me just repeat that we're not
qualified for any of this. I would just say, think
twice before handling in any kind of in any kind.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Of way, I would say that actually, sexuality is obviously
a huge part of the issue because you're married, but
there are other factors that need to be addressed immediately,
like trust, you know, like if if you feel like
you need to hide and you're concealing, and even if it,
let's say, in some miracle world it is true and
he just felt ashamed of it because a life of
a straight male, they get shamed for maybe. You know,
(29:44):
just the other day we were talking about how people
we know that our straight males didn't want to go
into a gay club because, you know, didn't the thought
of men approaching them maybe scheed them out, you know.
But I would say that there are other issues in
your marriage. I need to be dress in therapy that
maybe will lead to the truth in regards to the sexuality,
(30:04):
you know, component because if he's lying and you're not
feeling like you can trust him and he gave you
an answer and you're still feeling weird, there's just you
need to work on that, that foundation of trust, which
will hopefully lead to clarity in any way and and
peace and love it anyway. But I'm so sorry about that.
That's that's that's tough. It's tough for both of you,
(30:26):
I'm sure in very very different ways. But I know
you must be hurting and feeling kind of deceived. I'm
assuming I don't know what that feels like. But if
Jem left me for a man, I would.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Hurt.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, I love you for anybody. I think you'd feel
all yeah, but you know I can't be a dude
and I don't want to, so you know, that would
just take you right out of my league. I don't
worry about the baby.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think you're good in the department.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You think my penis is adequate? Yeah? Thanks, Well, I'm
so sorry, and I hope.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That I'm sorry for what you're going to And we're
not going to pray for you. She's like, we're not
gonna pray for her.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
Don't say in my own way when I say I'm
gonna pray for you, like I'm gonna hold space.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I'm gonna think when I go to bed, and I'm
gonna be like, damn.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Are you really?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like like we think about that lady that calls with
the voicemail. You know what, You're a hater. Don't listen
to me, Ma, I'm kind for you. I pray my
own way, and I pray for people every day. If
I stop and I think and I send you a
ball of my energy, that's me giving you prayer, my prayer.
I'm not praying for you tonight, gem Ship. Anybody else
want my prayers? Damn you know, I'm just saying, hey it,
(31:33):
next question, please, Lord, I'm gonna go to the straight
man's choir. God, damn it. You'd hate your life roasted
up in the I would hate my life in the stream.
It's my punishment you would hate. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
got anymore? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, we have, we have a we have. Let's just
do a couple more. Great, all right, Dear gemminaut, Wow,
Dear gem For first of all, Hi, I'm such a
big fan Oh. I feel like this ad came at
the perfect time because I didn't know where else to turn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Let's just say.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
My name is Alice and I'm thirty four years old.
I've identified as a lesbian for the majority of my
adult life. Hey, and have had a few and have
had a few meaningful partners. I've been single for the
last two years, and about three months ago I started
a new jof and have hit it off with my coworker.
He's amazing, so hard working and so kind and hilarious,
(32:29):
and we enjoy every minute warre together. Our friendship has
deepened like I had never expected it too. Sorry, there's
some type of and I feel like I might even
be developing feelings for him. I don't know how to
tell my friends, who are mostly who are also we're
mostly also members of the LGBTQIA plus umbrella that I'm
dating a guy. It feels like I'm sleeping with the enemy,
(32:51):
but I'm actually just really enjoying myself that's on this.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Alice. Oh yes, Oh my god, Alice, Wow, what a
real you know.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I love that because it just shows you that it
doesn't matter on one side of the playing field you're on.
We are not having the right conversations surrounding sexuality, because
it doesn't matter what you've been for ten years. What
matters is that we are all capable of falling in
(33:22):
love with.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Anybody. I don't know. I feel really really passionate about
this question, actually, and I talk about this with everybody
that will listen. This is why, ultimately I wish for
a world where we don't have to come out. Because
you may feel today that you identify with this label
or you feel comfortable within this box. But then we
(33:46):
change and we evolve and we grow, and for you
and me, hopefully that will mean that we'll grow together
and we'll age together, because that's what we decided.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
But if the day of tomorrow, God forbid, I get
hit by a piano or something happens, you know, God,
would you know what I'm saying, and you so happen,
you know? Like like she sounds, Alice sounds genuinely surprised
that she was able to connect after so many years
with a man, because after having a preference for so long,
I'm sure it would be surprising too.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Like I tell you all the time, I wonder if
she named herself Alice because of a, Oh, you're talking
about the talk about generation.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, Sorry, but back to my point, you
should never feel ashamed of loving somebody or feeling good
of somebody. So as long as you're not you know,
it's obviously the person is of age, they're appropriate. You know,
so as long as you're not doing anything obviously catastrophically
wrong and impear like love who you want. And and
(34:48):
if anybody, if your friends are going to judge you
for you know, being a family. Yeah, if your friends
of your family are going to judge you for that,
then they they're not really loving you. Can additionally, they're
not they're not good for you right now. Because any
if you're happy, anybody should be happy that you're happy.
And also, you know, it doesn't matter if he's a man,
(35:10):
is he a good man? For example, this is a
valid question that I would ask, how comfortable is he
with the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Be great, because your whole life, I mean, you're not
going to just up.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Like you're not going to now pretend that you've been
a straight woman, that you don't have certain friends or
environments that now he's going to need to be a
part of. Obviously, that hopefully he's not going to be
uncomfortable in. But I would venture to guess that, since Alice,
you've fallen in love with him, that he doesn't exhibit
those qualities. So for sure, I'm sure it's scary, But
(35:41):
if your friends really love you, then they're going to
embrace you and embrace him and celebrate that love. Yeah,
get that, d girl.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I don't know whatever you want. I don't even feel
right saying that. It's okay. Don't forget that it is
a swinging door. So if you ever want to pop
over to our side, Hey, we've got cooking, maybe he'll
want to pop over with you. No, he's not welcome
on our really, babe, I'm saying, well, they can have
a threesome.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
She could. They could be a girl, any guy. Why,
she could have the best, the best of both.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
We don't need any more straight men in our spaces.
That I know that I will see now now, look
at you. No, I'm just tired of the like you
can come just because oh my straight men come in
my space.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
You know.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I will say this as a as a woman who
loves women. It is very tiring because they're in back
in my dating age. And I'm not saying that this
is something that would have I would have ever pursued,
But there were a lot of couples that were on
Tinder seeking a woman, and I'm like, you know, like,
what makes you think that if a woman wants to
sleep with your woman, she wants to sleep with you
(36:48):
no offense. Like more often than not, she probably does.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I know some people that are into sleeping with couples.
It's not about the man, but it wasn't the couple.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
The woman would advertise herself and then yeah, it was
like the woman on the dating site would she'd be like, oh,
by the way, me and my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah no, but Alice, you're good. Alice is good. Yeah,
I got this. We love you and accept you. Of course.
Of course, as long as you're not a misogynist, pig,
gay hater, we're good.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Right exactly. He has to, you know, have certain qualities.
Just be true to yourself and be true to what
feels good to you. Peace or pleasure, babe, that's my
model for twenty twenty three. Peace or pleasure.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And if you still have your period, to use a condom,
because I know that lesbians.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, she's four.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, use a condom because you haven't been having to
use those.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Oh no, yeah, remember babies. That's something that's.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Advice I can give you.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
No love, no love, jeez, that's something we take for granted.
I don't Oh my gosh, Okay, listen to a couple
of voicemails. A couple Okay, so we have let's just
pick water or two more. Okay, voicemails, one or two voicemails.
Speaker 2 (37:59):

Speaker 3 (38:00):

Speaker 10 (38:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Husband, Okay, I don't. First, you're not alone there, you know?
Up until I want to say our generation. Maybe our
parents generation, women really were valued mostly for their womb,
(39:19):
and we've been seen as less than or viewed as
less than if we choose not to have a family,
if we can't have a family. And I love how
much the conversation is changing, and how many times I
hear somebody say, you know, I'm just not gonna have kids,
because I personally think that there are just way too
(39:41):
many parents out there that truly, truly, truly in their
heart of hearts, didn't wish to be parents and just
kind of rolled with the punches because those were the
cards that they were dealt. And you know, it's not
an easy it's not an easy task and it shouldn't
be taken lightly when you are assuming the responsibility of
parenthood to raise a child, raise a life that will
later a contribute and form part of society. So for
(40:06):
your husband and you, I would say, I think that
it's important that you figure out how important it is
to you to start a family, because, as you mentioned,
your biological clock is taking and of course there are
(40:27):
a lot of other ways that you can have a family.
A lot of kids out there that don't have a
family who could really benefit from a parent who really
intentionally wants to be a parent. But I think that
it's kind of a really big deal that you and
your husband are not on the same page when it
(40:47):
comes to this topic, because it usually is something that
is a deal breaker for relationships.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
So what can you do?
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Well, if you are in an otherwise happy marriage and
you want to work this out, but you're aware that
your biological clock is ticking, then I'd really recommend for
you yourself, because the reality is you have to live
for yourself. There's no guarantee that your marriage will last
forever as which as we all wish for it. To
(41:17):
maybe consider freezing your eggs. Yeah, doing something for you
in case of a raining day. And I hate to
say it like that, but in case you know, things
don't pan out the way that you originally expected them to.
I'm sure you didn't expect to be in this position.
Make sure that you have your own back because what
you don't want to do is past this period. And
(41:39):
I know people personally who have wanted to be mothers
and passed through biological period and live to regret it.
Don't pass this period. If you know that you want
to be a mother, you can be a mother. It
doesn't have to be in the traditional sense, it doesn't
have to be in any sense that anyone has expected
or tall you to do it beforehand. You can be
(42:02):
an incredible parent and provide a loving household, be it
as a single parent or in another phase of your life.
And again I would really just ask yourself how much
how much of a deal breaker is this for you?
And don't rush. Don't rush your partner into something they
(42:23):
don't want to do, because as much as you may
want to be a parent, it's absolutely valid that he
doesn't want to be, and he shouldn't be if he
doesn't want to be. That's really the truth.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Yeah, I think it's complicated because also there could be
a possibility that when you get married, you know, you
have all these ideas with your partner about yeah, we're
gonna have kids and yeah this, But then you start
to have life and time starts passing and maybe maybe
he'll never be ready. Maybe he wasn't ready and he
(42:54):
just told you he was ready. But either way, you
don't want to co parent with someone who doesn't want
to be a parent. No, And he also can't trap
you in your marriage just because you're married. You know,
if he doesn't want children. So my personal recommendation, get
a therapist. Yeah, get a therapist to work out a therapist,
(43:14):
you know, to work out the issues between you two.
And then, like jem I would say, if you're feeling
a kind of scientific way about your biological clock ticking,
which is very valid, go to the doctor. Get a
check up, you know, maybe also telling them telling you
the quality of your eggs and your you know, your
your environment, you can tell you know how that is.
(43:35):
And he might say, no, you're good to go. You
got this many years or not. But if you have
the money, because that's the thing, it's very expensive, which
you also have to acknowledge if you have the money
to do so, you know, it's a great it's a
great great, it's a great option. But you know, get
a therapist and work on talking about that in your
marriage and ultimately find out because what you don't want
(43:56):
to do is also for him to just say, okay, fine,
let's do it, and then you have a child for
the rest of you and he could grow to resent you,
and then that could just be toxic for the marriage,
the child and everybody.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Yeah, the person who's who? Who is most affected is
the kid for sure. Yeah, and I'm sorry for what
you're going through and you you gave even better advice
than I could have. Seek a therapist, seek a couple's therapists,
and then maybe seek also one for you. Yeah, because
it's good to have some additional support while you navigate
(44:31):
something as hard as this.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
All right, great questions everyone, Thank you before we let
you go. Oh we have one more voicemail, one more
(44:56):
squeezed in. All right, consolation voicemail before we go to
space news.
Speaker 8 (45:00):
Oh my dad, how are your ladies?
Speaker 6 (45:05):
It's Maddie from St.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
Louis.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
How are the two groove your aliens doing.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
On this day?
Speaker 8 (45:13):
I love that I'm actually going to work, getting ready
for work and trying not to die in this last
hopeful heat wave.
Speaker 6 (45:25):
Anyway, I hope that your poeas vade us for this
out of retirement, for this, I totally re listened to.
Speaker 8 (45:33):
The first Q and A for inspiration on this. So
to your goats, Oh hi, hi, is there something you've
already done that makes you super proud of or that
you've never thought that you do? And conversely, is there
(45:58):
something that you haven't done that's been weighing on you
to do. I know that Jim has previously said on
your Glory episode that she wants to write a book
or like an anthology of poems. But is there anything
else that you that like really speaks to you, that
(46:20):
you want to do or experience, whether it's big or small.
Speaker 6 (46:25):
Also, when are you coming to Saint.
Speaker 8 (46:29):
And I can show am these gray hairs that I'm
currently looking.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
At my head?
Speaker 5 (46:34):
You are not alone.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Anyway.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
I love you girls, Thanks for always bringing light into
everyone's lives. I can't wait to share what everyone asks.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
All right, bye, Ah may we love you and Hazel,
that's actually the best last.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Voicemail. I'm gonna make it quick because she said something
and you're proud of something that you haven't done. Okay,
I never would Mad is the best. Thank you, Mammie.
Also you and literally before we sat down, I was
crying about my grand had Hi. You felt me and
I do feel seen even though these are gonna go,
so let's get them both died. Girl. Anyway, one thing
(47:19):
that I'm really proud of so far is the people
that we've had on these couches for our podcast. I
reach have learned so much, had some of the most
amazing conversations of my life and met some of the
coolest people here on these couches with you. So I'm very,
very proud of that. However, something that has been on
my freaking soul that is literally killing me. If I
(47:40):
don't do it, I feel like, for one more second,
I'm gonna just explode. Is a new album. I need
to write music, please, I need Getny to go tell
you guys in the way that I know best through music, what.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Going on, because it's gonna be a it's been a
decade over them an old bitch.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
But yeah, so so yeah, and and you know, you
guys out there, And that's a great question because there's
always something. You always want to have, goals and things
that you want to attain. You don't want to be
too hard on yourself, but I think the best way
to get to those goals is to take little steps. Yeah,
little steps and look at the silver lining. But yeah,
(48:22):
but we heart you. What about you, Joe? Okay, something
that I'm proud of.
Speaker 6 (48:34):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
I feel like I haven't done.
Speaker 10 (48:36):
Much well fuck my drag, Well, I I would say
the same as you. I feel like I haven't done
much styled for Vogue had already done that.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
I don't have done that podcast, created the whole branding
and brand for it, turned around our studio.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
But yeah, but well it's so hard for me because
the way my brain works is like that those are mom.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah, I did and told her she had a golden wound.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
She does.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
Tana miss Tina for so she was so lovely she
and she of course she had to be in a
head to toe gold outfit because like, what else would
you be in. No, I'm not proud because I met
Miss Tina, although that is a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
You know what I would be proud of if I
were you right now, tell me your freaking eyebrow, my brow.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
I'm so proud of my Maddie from Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
I have the truth.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Here's the truth, thanks to me. You're so right. And
I actually told em just this morning. I was like, explain,
explain this to me, okay, And I want to get
closer to the camera so that those of you who
are watching and really see.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
This, they could probably hear your unibrow. I could probably hear.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
I want to make sure that that thing is fluffed
up for the camera, all right, So I have been
plucking my eyebrow, my unibrow.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
Hey, there's food in it.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
That's so funny. Since I was at least like ten,
I would always get bullied for it, Like you would
not even imagine how many different ways I got bullied
for my unibrow. Because these things are serious. It looks
like two poisonous caterpillars mating on my forehead. It's not
the vibe beautiful. Well I didn't think so. I didn't
used to think so, because they are serious, and you know,
(50:22):
big eyebrows were in a thing when we were growing up.
Little eyebrows were a thing. So recently I've started looking
back at my life as are you Drinking usually makes
you do, and I've realized that there are certain things
that I've just been doing or not doing for kind
of a long time now, and as a fun little experiment,
(50:44):
I'm like starting to change them, just you know why not.
So one of them was realizing that I've never by
choice ever grown out, consciously grown out my unibrow because
I don't know not to mention that it just brings
me complete and total pleasure, Like just the act of plucking.
(51:05):
I just love it so much. I'm a pimple popper.
For those of you who are wondering, I love popping pimples.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
I love plucking eye loves to tell me to pop
on and then literally scold me because I'm not doing
it right.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
No, she's a terrible pimple popper. If you ever have
a pimple that you can't reach, don't ask them to
do it. She can do so many of these.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Don't ask me to do that.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Literally, love it. No, I like you, like you love
doing that. You're also he's a closeted pimple. Anyway, It's okay,
It's okay. We're there's room.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
Here in our club.
Speaker 3 (51:35):
So so, my eyebrow hairs are something that I'm really
proud of because these babies have been actively plucked out
of my face every couple of days for years, and
three of them have grown back to the point that
(51:56):
they are taller than the rest of my eyebrow hairs.
Like the resilience on this baby a war hero could never.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
Literally it's a pretty epic.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
I'm so proud of those hairs. Okay, thank you for
reminding me.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (52:12):
You know, I love your And to answer the second
part of your question, what's something that that's been eating
away at me to do? I don't want to share
it yet, but just put a pin on.
Speaker 9 (52:27):
That for me.
Speaker 3 (52:28):
Know that when I'm ready, I will be sharing with
you guys.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
But there is a.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
New adventure that I've been wanting to embark on for
the last couple of years that I've been talking to
EM and other people about that I think about almost
every day at this point, probably multiple times a day.
So I'm superstitious you might already know that about me.
So I'm not going to tell you what it is,
but it's definitely me stepping out of my comfort zone.
(53:00):
So I'm excited to see where it might take me.
Speaker 2 (53:02):
Well, I can vouch for the fact that anything that
Jem doesn't want to talk about you should be very
excited about because.
Speaker 3 (53:09):
It means she's keeping it safe, so it's ready.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (53:16):
Oh but you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (53:18):
Yeah, Okay, she miss.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
That's why I'm excited and you should be excited.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
But we are almost forgetting something very important.
Speaker 6 (53:28):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (53:30):
Space Welcome Home Crew six A crew Dragon spacecraft splash
down on the coast of Florida early September fourth, bringing
back a crew from the United States, United Arab Emirates
and Russia who spent six months on the International Space Station.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
That means that they spent one hundred and eighty six
days in space starting with their launch March second on
the Falcon nine. The return was delayed two days to
wait for favorable weather conditions in the splashdown zones which
had been affected by Hurricane Italia Bali a Ya. Now
it takes about five months to refurbish the craft and
(54:07):
send it back up into space. But for the next flight,
they're saying that it's going to be the voice actors
of SpongeBob and Obama.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
No way, no way, Oh.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
Like what, Although I wouldn't believe it does being in
space impair astronauts immune systems. A new study has examined
how T cells of the human immune system are affected
by weightlessness. The results could explain why astronauts T cells
become less active and less effective at fighting infection that
(54:38):
is not good. The results, which are published in the
journal Science Advances, found that the T fells change the
gene expression, that is to say, the genes were active
which were not, and after fourteen days of weightlessness, they
were extremely susceptible to infection. Mmmm. So if you want
to travel to a distant planet, pack a lot of
(54:58):
Vicks vapor rub because if you will be arriving feeling
like space coca, oh, space cock. The largest storm in
the Solar System, a ten thousand mile wide anti cyclone
called the Great Red Spot, has decorated Jupiter's surface for
hundreds of years. A new study shows that Saturn, though
(55:19):
much blander and less colorful than Jupiter, also has long
lasting megastorms with impacts deep in the atmosphere that persists
guess how long for centuries? That's like over one hundred years, dudes.
Megastorms occur approximately every twenty to thirty years on Saturn
and are similar to hurricanes on Earth a little much,
(55:41):
much larger. But unlike Earth's hurricanes, no one knows what
causes these megastorms. So we may be in hurricane season
over here and ripping people's hair out for toilet paper,
but at least Italia will not last one hundred years,
even though that is aba honey. Yeah, and this has
been space news.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
That was a great space news. Hey, I'm telling you,
lately space has been popping space has been popping, Yeah,
popping off. Oh that was so fun. I honestly love
hearing from you guys. It's one of my favorite parts
of the show.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Yeah, me too. Honestly, I would sit here in a
room and talk to you about these things and learn forever.
But what makes it magical for me is the moments
when we feel you, guys, and we hear you, guys,
and to realize that you're listening to our wonderfully strange,
often illuminating conversations with each other. But we feel you.
(56:42):
You know, we appreciate you, We know those of you
that are out there listening, and if you're just joining us, Hi,
how are you? We love you too, And yeah, I
hope we should make this a seasonal thing to always
do at least one of these a season. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (56:56):
I love that you're down prepping for season three, already.
Speaker 2 (56:59):
Down like a clown in London town.
Speaker 3 (57:01):
As I'm said, it means the world to us to
know that our words are not falling on deaf ears,
and that hopefully somewhere out there, you guys are feeling
a little bit less alone on this journey, knowing that well,
we're here, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (57:21):
We're here, we're queer, We're not going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (57:23):
So thank you for being part of our in our
own world family. We couldn't do it without you.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
We heart you, and outer space is a better place
for it. Yeah, and by the way, just because the
episode is over doesn't mean you can't still call us
and leave us questions and leave us.
Speaker 3 (57:37):
We're listening.
Speaker 2 (57:37):
You never know, we might just call back. We've done
it before, we have.
Speaker 3 (57:42):
Well, we love you, guys, we love Yeah. We've got
you next week.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Bye.
