  Speaker 1: Hi, Hi, Catherine, Hi, Chelsea. Tak it to our many
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: many mini minisode.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's just like a teeny Meani Sode Chelsea, I have
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: a funny email from someone that totally relates to our
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Naomi Watts episode that just came out. Maggie says, I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: can totally second that menopause is not all terrible. It's
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: not all doom and gloom. I'm fifty eight and postmenopausal,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and I'm here to tell you that menopause is something
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to look forward to all caps. It is a gift.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It's complete liberation from everything. The patriarchy wants us to
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: think it's bad because we stop giving a shit about
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: men once it starts. The pharmaceutical industry wants us to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: think it's bad because they can sell us meds for it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: But it's awesome. To quote Christ and Scott Thomas and Fleabag,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I lead a very healthy life and menopause is magnificent,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So that's an exciting thing to look forward to. She
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: also says I have two vacation properties, Joshua Tree and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Palm Springs, and I save all my Dear Chelsea episodes
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: for when I'm driving to my properties.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I love that as soon as I get in the.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Car Syria to play Dear Chelsea, and you and your
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: guests are my company as I drive. Love it, Maggie.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Oh that makes me happy. I love that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Menopause, Maggie, yep, menopause, Maggie.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Chelsea. We have two callers today for a couples count Graying.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: They are Kendall and Olivia. They are calling in from
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the East Coast and they say, Dear Chelsea, this is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Kendall riding in. My girlfriend and I are both twenty
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: four years old. We met at un Ah and have
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: been together for two and a half years. I live
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: in mass and she lives in New Hampshire, and we
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: can't decide on a third state to move to. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to move back to New Hampshire as I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: went to school there, and we don't want to stay
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: in Mass as we've been doing a long distance back
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and forth from both states. Any help on how to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: decide on a third state to move to or any
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: states you love? Being in love you both so much.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Thanks for any help, Kendall. So we'll wait for Olivia
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: before we respond. But I have thoughts I do too. Yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: right off the top of my head. Yes, well, what
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: can get started. We'll just wait for her to pop
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in and then we'll recap.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: What about Connecticut, that's a good one.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I have been there a couple of times before.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're already on the East, do you
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: like the East Coast, like that Eastern seaboard?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Part of the country too. That's kind of my that's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: where I'm from.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I'm from New Jersey, so it's not quite but I
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: grew up on the Cape, so I like that vibe.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I like New Hampshire, I like Massachusetts. I think Connecticut
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: is a nice compromise between the two, and it still
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: has the same vibe that you're used to.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. We've we've also gone to Portland,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Maine a couple of times.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Maine is awesome.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's like so fun and quaint, but there's like tons of.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Specially for lesbians. Yes, right, yeah, what don't you like about?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Hi?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Hi?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: We were just talking about we were just talking about
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: your future and whether or not you're gonna move to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Connecticut or Maine.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Sounds good. Yeah, those two we've been talking about a
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: So Portland Maine whenever I perform, whenever I go to Portland, Maine,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I always want an extra day there because I just
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: love that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Food and I love Portland.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I find that just to be just a cool, cool
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: town all the way through.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: As it's like a city, like a mini city. You know, it's.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Totally manageable, and there's a lot of like minded people there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: You can pack up your lesbian Birkenstocks and just go
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: up there together and hit it. Connecticut, I was mentioning,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: but Connecticut has certain parts that are really beautiful and
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: certain parts that are a bit more rough. And I'm thinking, like,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the beautiful parts are really pretty expensive. But there are
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: like cities like Hartford, and you know, there are cities
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: in Connecticut that could be I mean, it would be
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: worth doing a little like trip where you guys go
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to like hang out in some cities in Connecticut. Go
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: to Stamford, go to Hartford. Or you don't want to
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: go to Boston, right because you're from mass.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're not big city people.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So I would say go to Portland first
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: and see what the vibe is there. If you guys
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: like that, go for a weekend and see how you
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: like it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: What kind of stuff do you guys like to do?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Are you hikers? What are you doing fun time?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm more of like outdoorsy kind of stuff.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, but we both like doing the crafty set
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: of things too, like the pottery, the wine, sip and
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: paint nights, those kinds of things and lives.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Always been a big skier, but I've never skied in
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: my life, Chelsea, you believe it or not, but we
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: want to get into snowboarding.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Actually, so what about Vermont?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I haven't been to Vermont, like as an adult.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Vermont's pretty cool. I don't know where. I haven't been
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: with Vermont in so many years. I'm just trying to
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: think of, like what the main cities there are Montpelier,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: but Vermont is cool. And but once you're on the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: East Coast, then you can have access to those ski places.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's Camelback, there's a Bunch, there's you know
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: in Connecticut, there's Stowe, there's Killington, So you could have
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: access to all those places once you're in that area.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: And then there's a there's a Rhode Island, there's Providence,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: there's Provincetown that's super gay that's fun. I mean, I've
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: been there bunch of times and that's a blast. And Providence,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Rhode Island is awesome. Yeah, I don't know what the
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: cost of living is there, Like if it's expensive, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: probably seemingly, but I'm sure you know there's areas in
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: all of these places that kind of go across the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: board from more affordable to less affordable.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And if you do decide to venture away from the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Eastern Seaboard, I will say Chicago is an amazing city
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to be young and gay in.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It is a great place.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You can head up to Andersonville, which is like a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: lot of cities have like a boys town, but that's
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: where all the lesbians live.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Like that's funny. Yeah, all the boys town. There are
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: lots of lesbians.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Not a lot of cities have a spot for urbans.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at least gay men are allowing gay women to
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: take over versus straight men allowing straight women to take over.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And then I would also say go to the other Portland,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Like check out Portland, Oregon. It's fantastic. There's lots of
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: outdoorsy stuff but also lots of creative people. But I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: love your idea, Chelsea of like go for a weekend,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Like do a three day weekend in a bunch of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: different cities, get an airba and be walk around.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And make sure you incorporate all the things you love,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: you know, like make sure you incorporate the outdoors, the aspects,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and like the crafting aspects. Do your research before you
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: go so that you can get all that stuff in,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Like make sure you're going to the restaurants that you're
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: interested in, going to the kind of style of food
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you like to eat, and so that you're experiencing the
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: city and don't just stay in one area of that city.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Really really take in the city.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely, Thank you guys so much.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, best of luck, and let us know where you settle,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: okay or where you start visiting and love and that
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: sort of thing.
• 6:33

• 6:36
