1:34
Speaker 3: It's a book of poetry. I'm not really but it's
1:36
Speaker 3: not your traditional poetry. It's like stream of consciousness poetry.
1:40
Speaker 3: And there's a forward by her about everything she's experienced
1:43
Speaker 3: in her life that is so moving and it just
1:46

Speaker 1: I mean guest.

Speaker 2: It's so I mean obviously. You know, we read a
1:59
Speaker 2: lot of celebrit memoirs on the show, and I think
2:01
Speaker 2: it's one of my favorites that I've ever read. Like,
2:02
Speaker 2: it's so beautiful, it's funny, it's light, it's refreshing, like
2:06
Speaker 2: it's honest.
2:07
Speaker 4: It's great.
2:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great read, just like Dylan herself. She's
2:10
Speaker 1: a great read.
2:12
Speaker 2: And her brand new podcast, The Dylan Hour, just launched.
2:15
Speaker 2: I actually worked on it. It was so much fun.
2:17
Speaker 2: It has amazing episodes. It's so fun and kitchy. It's
2:20
Speaker 2: really fun to watch on YouTube also because it's like
2:23
Speaker 2: sixties themed and it has a whole pink set and
2:26
Speaker 2: it's really sweet. I would start with either like the
2:29
Speaker 2: Norri Read episode. It's really really fun. There's an episode
2:32
Speaker 2: with her dad that's really.
2:33

3:00
Speaker 5: Oh.
3:01
Speaker 3: We have a lot of catching up to do, have
3:03
Speaker 3: a lot to talk because you've been hanging around with
3:05
Speaker 3: a lot of my friends. I saw Alan Cummings. You
3:07
Speaker 3: posted a picture of you guys last night.
3:09
Speaker 5: I'm like, where well? I More importantly, the last time
3:13
Speaker 5: was on this podcast. The last thing I asked you.
3:15
Speaker 5: I hadn't been kissed as a girl yet, and I
3:17
Speaker 5: was like, should I do it? And you were like, yeah,
3:19
Speaker 5: hurry the fuck up. Yeah, And I did accomplish a
3:22
Speaker 5: lot of that.
3:23
Speaker 4: So you last saw each other.
3:24
Speaker 5: But what I'm about to show you is very important
3:27
Speaker 5: because I was in Paris and this was Alan Cumming
3:31
Speaker 5: was included in this evening and I went clubbing with
3:34
Speaker 5: a bunch of people from a conference and I left
3:37
Speaker 5: the club looking like this. And I just wish that
3:42
Speaker 5: for our audio listeners that they would really get to
3:45
Speaker 5: see this.
3:45
Speaker 4: But can you describe what you see?
3:48
Speaker 6: Well?
3:48
Speaker 3: We can hold it up. Can I hold this up
3:50
Speaker 3: to a camera? Can you see that this is Dylan.
3:52
Speaker 4: That's me leaving the club.
3:54
Speaker 3: Look, I'm like a whore on the loose. This is
3:57
Speaker 3: what I would call summer whore. When you have a
4:00
Speaker 3: hot pink lipstick. It's all around.
4:02
Speaker 4: Her once like maroon, and then it went, it's giving clown.
4:06
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous. Basically I went into the club.
4:10
Speaker 1: And sucked face with everyone you saw.
4:12
Speaker 4: And just one, just one, and he really did a
4:15
Speaker 4: number on my makeup.
4:18
Speaker 3: Your face looks like my head right now. I thought
4:21
Speaker 3: I had a pimple on my forehead morning.
4:23
Speaker 4: Are you saying my face looks like a pimple.
4:25
Speaker 1: In that picture? It looks like a big pimple that
4:27
Speaker 1: pops right now. That one.
4:29
Speaker 4: We got a big problem. What I'm walking around like
4:33
Speaker 4: all the time.
4:33
Speaker 3: I thought I had a pimple on my forehead this
4:35
Speaker 3: morning in my hotel room, and I went in after it,
4:37
Speaker 3: and then as I was trying to squeeze it and
4:39
Speaker 3: nothing was coming out, I realized it's a fucking mosquito bite.
4:42
Speaker 1: Oh so I basically attacked myself.
4:45
Speaker 3: It adds character, and I went and it's like a
4:47
Speaker 3: knot on my head right now.
4:48
Speaker 1: I got into my car this morning.
4:50
Speaker 5: We're a New York cartoon with like a fucking piano
4:53
Speaker 5: dropped on your head, New York.
4:54
Speaker 1: And my driver's like, what's he goes, what's wrong with
4:57
Speaker 1: your head? That's what he said to me.
4:58
Speaker 3: Rapa, he can say that thoughways been my driver for
5:01
Speaker 3: a long time. Okay, So, Dylan mulvaney, the last time
5:04
Speaker 3: we spoke, you were I mean, first of all, I
5:06
Speaker 3: don't even know where to begin.
5:08
Speaker 5: You've been very busy, been all over. But I was
5:11
Speaker 5: going through the ringer right when I saw you.
5:13
Speaker 1: That was because you were getting you were getting a
5:15
Speaker 1: lot of.
5:16
Speaker 5: Back a lot of backlash. And now that's just seems
5:19
Speaker 5: to be the trend of my life.
5:20
Speaker 3: And so let's revisit what was happening. It was the
5:23
Speaker 3: beer commercial.
5:23
Speaker 5: There was a beer situation, and it felt like the
5:26
Speaker 5: whole world was after me. And now I've really learned
5:29
Speaker 5: how to not give a fuck, and I think I
5:32
Speaker 5: learned that's kind of from you. And I also just
5:35
Speaker 5: now know to roll with the punches, because if this
5:37
Speaker 5: is going to be my life, then I think that's
5:39
Speaker 5: kind of just comes with it.
5:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do our best.
5:42
Speaker 3: I think it's very important to build resiliency as soon
5:45
Speaker 3: as you possibly can, because if you're going to be
5:49
Speaker 3: in a public, if you're going to be in the public.
5:51
Speaker 1: There is no way that you're going to get out.
5:53
Speaker 3: Of this unscathed being a public personality, there's just no way.
5:57
Speaker 3: So when people are really sensitive and they can't deal
5:59
Speaker 3: with it, I mean, it's a natural reaction to have,
6:02
Speaker 3: but eventually you have to toughen up a little.
6:04
Speaker 5: Were you ever fragile? I kind of the way I've
6:07
Speaker 5: read your stuff, like, it doesn't seem like that.
6:09
Speaker 3: I don't know if fragile would be the word, but
6:11
Speaker 3: I've been knocked down a lot. Yeah, I've been knocked
6:13
Speaker 3: over and down and thought, oh fuck, maybe I should
6:16
Speaker 3: just disappear. Maybe everyone's sick of me, or maybe this
6:20
Speaker 3: or that and that. You know, you think that those
6:22
Speaker 3: moments are temporary. They're not permanent. And I deal with
6:26
Speaker 3: a lot of people that come to me who are
6:29
Speaker 3: fragile and want to know what to do.
6:30
Speaker 4: I think we're attracted to you.
6:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a magnetism because it's like, oh you're okay.
6:36
Speaker 3: But but that becomes a lot to handle too. Like
6:39
Speaker 3: I remember this was just last week. I was like,
6:42
Speaker 3: I had so much of my own shit to deal with,
6:44
Speaker 3: and then I had like four or five people coming
6:47
Speaker 3: to me about how to deal with their shit, and
6:49
Speaker 3: I remember thinking, I don't have the fucking time for this,
6:51
Speaker 3: I'm not a counselor. But then I'm like, no, you
6:53
Speaker 3: are a counselor. That's actually what you like enjoy doing.
6:56
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you want to help people.
6:57
Speaker 4: So it's easier to look in rather than into yourself sometimes.
7:01
Speaker 3: Have you met anyone that you're interested in, like more
7:04
Speaker 3: long term? Are you just having fun with strangers?
7:07
Speaker 4: You know in Paris bars that'll do it?
7:08
Speaker 5: Oh? Oh my god, You're gonna die. I can't believe
7:10
Speaker 5: I'm telling you this on air. I did hook up
7:13
Speaker 5: with my room service waiter in Paris also this weekend.
7:17
Speaker 1: I've always dreamt about.
7:18
Speaker 5: Actually I left that that picture moment, and I went
7:23
Speaker 5: back to the hotel and then I got a charcoonery
7:26
Speaker 5: board and the waiter was so hot chelse and and.
7:30
Speaker 4: He went Savah and I went Sava.
7:33
Speaker 1: And then does that mean suki? Suki? What is something?
7:35
Speaker 4: How are you? I think? And I said how are you?
7:40
Speaker 5: And somebody else is gonna quote me that was incorrect.
7:43
Speaker 5: Then we started making out and it was amazing.
7:45
Speaker 1: I love that these things.
7:46
Speaker 3: You were making out with your room service attendant. Yeah,
7:49
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that was legal.
7:51
Speaker 5: Well, I'm trying to kind of pivot because I went
7:53
Speaker 5: on a date a few weeks ago where the person was, well,
7:56
Speaker 5: I was on a date with a woman and she
7:58
Speaker 5: was like She first asked me, She's like, are you
8:00
Speaker 5: into me? And I was like, yeah, I'm into you.
8:02
Speaker 5: And then I was like are you into me? And
8:03
Speaker 5: she's like well, and I was like what does that mean.
8:06
Speaker 5: She's like, You're kind of like the baby bird and
8:08
Speaker 5: I'm the mama bird. And I don't know if I'm
8:09
Speaker 5: allowed to fuck the baby bird. And I'm like, you
8:11
Speaker 5: can fuck the baby bird. And I'm just sort of
8:17
Speaker 5: now trying to figure out how to take myself out
8:19
Speaker 5: of the cute to fuckable category, you know what I mean.
8:22
Speaker 4: So, dear Chelsea, how do you go from cute to fuckable?
8:24
Speaker 1: I think it's a natural progression and it's gonna happen
8:26
Speaker 1: very naturally.
8:27
Speaker 3: And what I see with the room service waiter, and
8:29
Speaker 3: it starts with sucking off the room service waiter. No,
8:31
Speaker 3: I don't think you sucked out.
8:32
Speaker 4: I didn't do it.
8:33
Speaker 6: I don't.
8:33
Speaker 3: Okay, good good, because I just yeah, yeah, I mean
8:35
Speaker 3: you can. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean, I
8:37
Speaker 3: don't know what goes on in France, but it sounds wonderful.
8:40
Speaker 3: This is like when messuses go.
8:41
Speaker 1: Down on you.
8:42
Speaker 3: I'm like, I've had a lot of massages and that's
8:44
Speaker 3: never come up.
8:45
Speaker 4: I was gonna say you did say it though, like
8:47
Speaker 4: that was a frequent Like.
8:49
Speaker 3: I would like I would love a messuse to go
8:51
Speaker 3: down on me, to get on grinder. I well, but
8:53
Speaker 3: I want to just have a mesuse offer it, Like
8:55
Speaker 3: why not. I'm relaxed, I'm not gonna fight you. You can
8:58
Speaker 3: go down on me, finger blast me. That's the perfect
9:01
Speaker 3: setting for me to get figure blasted is while I'm
9:03
Speaker 3: lying down half hour for you too. I know so,
9:06
Speaker 3: and I hear all these stories. I even went to
9:08
Speaker 3: this hotel that I heard, Yeah, what's wrong with me?
9:11
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, I guess. And my
9:13
Speaker 3: friends like, you're just too intimidating. I go while I'm
9:15
Speaker 3: getting a massage. To intimidate, you have to go.
9:17
Speaker 5: In full glam. You get full glamm done. We get
9:20
Speaker 5: Jamie makeup in here just to really beat your face.
9:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been hanging out with Jamie makeup.
9:24
Speaker 4: I love that woman vibe so fun.
9:27
Speaker 1: I know, she's so fun.
9:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to keep the good ones around.
9:30
Speaker 3: I told her she's a personality higher. You need her personality.
9:33
Speaker 3: I was like, forget about your makeup skills. Your personality
9:36
Speaker 3: is where it's at.
9:37
Speaker 4: That's how I feel about myself too.
9:41
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell me about your life. I want to know.
9:43
Speaker 3: So you left here and you had a lot of
9:45
Speaker 3: drama with the beer, and then that subsided.
9:47
Speaker 5: And then we started Marco polowing in you because we
9:51
Speaker 5: found that I don't like to text, you don't like
9:53
Speaker 5: to do facetimes or phone calls. So it's like this
9:55
Speaker 5: walkie talkie app and I asked you about ayahuasca. Went
9:58
Speaker 5: to do that down in by myself. Yes, And that
10:02
Speaker 5: really made me willing to do life again. It was
10:05
Speaker 5: like a lot of great things came up. And then
10:08
Speaker 5: I came back to the States and finished up my book.
10:12
Speaker 5: I've got my podcast.
10:14
Speaker 1: It's the podcast call.
10:15
Speaker 4: It's called the Dylan Hour.
10:16
Speaker 1: Oh I love it.
10:17
Speaker 5: And it's sort of like to serve a podcast thank you.
10:19
Speaker 5: It's like sort of this nineteen sixties flare, you know.
10:22
Speaker 5: I love to live in the eras. And what it
10:25
Speaker 5: originally came from was that there was I was getting
10:28
Speaker 5: so much hate from these like conservative extremist, like right
10:30
Speaker 5: wingers all had all these podcasts, and I was like, well,
10:33
Speaker 5: what the fuck, I want one? And and so it's
10:36
Speaker 5: not targeting those people at all. It's just kind of
10:38
Speaker 5: a celebration of femininity. And the important part is that
10:41
Speaker 5: we get to drink alcohol on it. Which do you
10:44
Speaker 5: ever do that on here?
10:45
Speaker 3: I don't, not on my podcast, but I did Burt
10:48
Speaker 3: Kreischer's podcast, and it was around It was at noon,
10:51
Speaker 3: and I had.
10:52
Speaker 1: Two vodka OJ's. Oh and it was a two hour podcast.
10:55
Speaker 3: And I think that's pretty much how all podcasts should
10:58
Speaker 3: be conducted.
10:58
Speaker 1: It's just a very loose.
11:00
Speaker 3: Format, and people are more relaxed, and it's just easier
11:03
Speaker 3: to drink and talk about yourself.
11:05
Speaker 4: And in they'll tell you more things.
11:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't need alcohol to open me up,
11:10
Speaker 3: you know. I mean I already have a problem with
11:12
Speaker 3: my mouth. I gave away way too much information.
11:15
Speaker 4: If you were gonna come on my pod, what do
11:16
Speaker 4: you think we would drink? Like, what's your go to?
11:19
Speaker 1: I was drinking gin for a while. I'm kind of
11:21
Speaker 1: engine you'll get there, honey.
11:24
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit in gin. And then I'm kind
11:26
Speaker 3: of pivoting back to vodka. Now, vodka was brushing me
11:29
Speaker 3: out for a while because it tasted like it started
11:31
Speaker 3: to taste like gasoline. But whenever you overdo anything, it
11:34
Speaker 3: starts to taste disgusting.
11:36
Speaker 4: You ever tried to ever clear?
11:38
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's really gasoline.
11:40
Speaker 4: I like that.
11:41
Speaker 1: That's like rubbing alcohol.
11:42
Speaker 4: That'll get you.
11:43
Speaker 1: What are you drinking?
11:44
Speaker 4: I love vodka. I love an espresso Martina.
11:47
Speaker 1: Oh I had one of those yesterday.
11:48
Speaker 4: I will keep you up. And I love oh dirty
11:51
Speaker 4: Shirley Temple. You've ever had one of those? What's surety
11:54
Speaker 4: temple with vodka? Oh? Yeah?
11:55
Speaker 5: Or an aperol sprits? Yeah, that's very my York of eyes. Yeah, my,
11:58
Speaker 5: orca very my or so you'll.
12:01
Speaker 4: Come on my pod one day of course, okay, talking
12:03
Speaker 4: about how to drink.
12:04
Speaker 5: Honored to be on your podcast, and yeah, it's sort
12:06
Speaker 5: of just like a celebration of femininity in giving me
12:09
Speaker 5: a chance to get off, you know, the internet so
12:12
Speaker 5: much and kind of get in front of somebody else
12:14
Speaker 5: because so much of what I was doing online was
12:16
Speaker 5: just me in my bedroom, and I was like, I
12:18
Speaker 5: haven't talked to someone in five days, so it's time
12:21
Speaker 5: to sit down and shoot the shit.
12:23
Speaker 1: And are you still living in your same house.
12:24
Speaker 4: I live in the cute house.
12:25
Speaker 1: Okay.
12:27
Speaker 3: I didn't know if you had to move because we'll
12:29
Speaker 3: worried about all the back That was scary.
12:31
Speaker 4: But we're okay now now.
12:32
Speaker 1: Everything's good, So that's great. I'm glad to hear that.
12:35
Speaker 1: What other backlash have you been facing?
12:37
Speaker 4: I released a song called Days of Girlhood. Did you
12:39
Speaker 4: hear about that one?
12:40
Speaker 1: Yeah? I heard about that, but I did not hear
12:42
Speaker 1: about the backlash.
12:43
Speaker 5: So I put this song out sort of as like
12:46
Speaker 5: you ever heard of Rebecca blacks Friday, Yeah, or like
12:49
Speaker 5: Paris Hilton stars are Blind. You know. I wanted one
12:51
Speaker 5: song to give the gaze, you know, if I was
12:53
Speaker 5: going to go at any moment, just to remember me
12:56
Speaker 5: and and so I basically put the most sort of
12:59
Speaker 5: just like still tereotypical, silly feminine things into one song.
13:03
Speaker 4: I did not think I was singing fucking you know.
13:06
Speaker 5: I didn't think I was Chaikowski or anything when I
13:08
Speaker 5: went into writing this. And wow, the Internet just roasted
13:12
Speaker 5: me because it first started with the turfs, and it
13:15
Speaker 5: started with you know, women who were so deeply offended
13:18
Speaker 5: that I would be singing about.
13:21
Speaker 4: Womanhood or girlhood.
13:22
Speaker 5: Wait, what's the turf trans exclusionary radical feminists. So a
13:26
Speaker 5: feminist that doesn't include trans people, okay, copy like as
13:30
Speaker 5: jk Rowling, Yes, right, but this song gave them kind
13:34
Speaker 5: of like this perfect sort of like, oh, I'm gonna
13:37
Speaker 5: be sad on the internet to talk about how much
13:39
Speaker 5: this song, you know, made them so upset. And then
13:43
Speaker 5: my audience had already decided that it was a bad song.
13:46
Speaker 4: But the thing about gen Z is they.
13:47
Speaker 5: Will ride hard, and so when they found out it
13:50
Speaker 5: was getting hate, they were like, well, now this is
13:52
Speaker 5: my favorite fucking song I've ever heard. But yeah, I
13:55
Speaker 5: don't think I meant for I don't think the music
13:57
Speaker 5: industries for me. How about you?
13:58
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't have any I can't sing and
14:00
Speaker 1: I have no rhythm.
14:01
Speaker 4: I can't go to karaoke.
14:03
Speaker 1: I don't do karaoke, Dylan, are you not hearing me?
14:07
Speaker 1: I cannot you want to hear me saying I.
14:09
Speaker 3: Do Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you?
14:13
Speaker 4: Like that's it good?
14:15
Speaker 1: No, that's not good. I know that's not good. And
14:18
Speaker 1: I'm not taking voice lessons. What you think I need
14:20
Speaker 1: to add that to my repertoire.
14:21
Speaker 4: I don't know it sounds like, you've got two months
14:23
Speaker 4: in my Orca to fucking.
14:24
Speaker 3: I find one month in my Orca and I'm not
14:26
Speaker 3: fucking and I'm not recording an album.
14:28
Speaker 1: You want me to come out with a song so
14:30
Speaker 1: I can get more hay than you got.
14:32
Speaker 2: So you can do you can be like, look you
14:38
Speaker 2: you see this one.
14:40
Speaker 3: We should we actually I should record a song and
14:42
Speaker 3: then we release it together called you thought I was
14:45
Speaker 3: an asshole?
14:46
Speaker 4: Watch this feat. I'm gonna be pictured on it. Catherine,
14:49
Speaker 4: do you sing?
14:51
Speaker 2: I do I do sing?

Speaker 4: Hell yeah?
14:53
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so you know I'll sing on the on
14:55
Speaker 2: there with you as well.
14:57
Speaker 1: Catherine sings when she talks sometimes and I have to stop.
15:01
Speaker 3: Chelsea's like fuck, I'm like, yeah, Catherine, that does not
15:04
Speaker 3: go with this podcast.
15:06
Speaker 2: I can't help it.
15:07
Speaker 4: I have a song, and Mines is not a musical
15:09
Speaker 4: theater podcast. Minus get Ready.
15:12
Speaker 3: I want to talk about some heartfelt moments that you've
15:15
Speaker 3: had with like fans and people that have reached out
15:17
Speaker 3: to you, because that must feel really good and meaningful,
15:20
Speaker 3: and I.
15:20
Speaker 1: Know that you have them.
15:21
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
15:22
Speaker 5: Every day I think, like so often the internet feels
15:25
Speaker 5: like the most toxic place. And then I'll open up
15:27
Speaker 5: like a DM from like a girl that just went
15:31
Speaker 5: to college that's getting her bottom surgery, or a parent
15:34
Speaker 5: that like they watched my videos together and like that
15:37
Speaker 5: to me is worth it. Like I think so often
15:41
Speaker 5: I feel like social media and content creation, it's so
15:47
Speaker 5: can feel really icky. Sometimes it can feel like it's
15:50
Speaker 5: either selfish or that you don't know if it's actually
15:53
Speaker 5: helping anyone, or that it's potentially hurting you know, Like
15:57
Speaker 5: I'd never want to put something out there that's about
16:00
Speaker 5: representation of the trans community. But then when you've got
16:03
Speaker 5: the dolls surrounding you and rallying behind you. And that
16:06
Speaker 5: was my big takeaway from the backlash at beer Gate
16:09
Speaker 5: was like, oh I got so burned, and the trans
16:13
Speaker 5: community and the queer community were the ones waiting to
16:16
Speaker 5: pick me back up. And I think that just told
16:19
Speaker 5: me like, Oh, that's who I want on my side,
16:22
Speaker 5: That's who I want my audience to be. And because
16:24
Speaker 5: I tried so hard to be palatable for so long, to.
16:27
Speaker 3: Be and feeling to all these people, right, Yeah, we
16:30
Speaker 3: were talking about that with my book title. They were like, oh,
16:32
Speaker 3: well this is going to exclude men, and I'm like,
16:34
Speaker 3: but what straight men are reading my books. Like, let's
16:36
Speaker 3: be honest, I'd rather home in on the people that
16:40
Speaker 3: are my audience, all the people who feel like I do,
16:42
Speaker 3: who don't want to have children, who are single, who
16:44
Speaker 3: is you know? Who care about being a woman and
16:46
Speaker 3: being a sister and all of those things. It's better
16:49
Speaker 3: to focus and home in on your audience instead of
16:53
Speaker 3: trying to appeal to everyone.
16:54
Speaker 2: Amen.
16:54
Speaker 5: In my show that I'm doing is called fag Hag,
16:57
Speaker 5: and a lot of people go, oh my god, can
16:59
Speaker 5: I say that.
17:00
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know, can you? I've seen have
17:02
Speaker 4: a bag hag?
17:02
Speaker 1: I know, I know, like I do. I love ga.
17:06
Speaker 1: I went out last night.
17:07
Speaker 3: I tried to set my two gay guy friends up
17:09
Speaker 3: and my one gay friend got so fucking wasted he
17:14
Speaker 3: was such a mess at dinner. And then I had
17:16
Speaker 3: my other friend at dinner. She was got off a
17:20
Speaker 3: plane from Paris, and so I'm with this guy that
17:22
Speaker 3: I know, trying to set him up with this guy
17:23
Speaker 3: and my other friend and they're not making any sense,
17:26
Speaker 3: the two of them.
17:26
Speaker 1: It was like being out with three year olds.
17:28
Speaker 4: So did they like each other? Yeah?
17:29
Speaker 3: They ended up hucking up so great turn Well, I
17:33
Speaker 3: don't know you know, because you like men and women,
17:35
Speaker 3: so it's hard for me to focus on which one.
17:37
Speaker 4: Okay.
17:37
Speaker 5: It's funny though, because when I'm on Riah and I'm
17:40
Speaker 5: looking for your men, it's a lot of these guys
17:42
Speaker 5: that'll say like mutual, you know, mutual and common Chelsea Handler,
17:47
Speaker 5: and it's usually you know, it's usually the men over
17:50
Speaker 5: forty and and I'm like, do I want to be
17:54
Speaker 5: do I want to be sisters with her on this one?
17:57
Speaker 5: And then I sometimes I'm like should I text Hervey?
17:59
Speaker 5: And I'm like, he's not hot enough to really go
18:01
Speaker 5: to bat for this one? Yeah, right, but I will
18:03
Speaker 5: start vetting through you.
18:04
Speaker 1: If yeah, just send me a screen.
18:05
Speaker 3: They always say no, you can't take a screenshot, but
18:08
Speaker 3: I do it all the time.
18:09
Speaker 1: I do it. You're not spurt, They're not going to bandy.
18:14
Speaker 1: If they haven't banned me by now, they're not gonna
18:16
Speaker 1: ban me.
18:16
Speaker 3: And sometimes I need to take a screenshot because I'm like, wait,
18:19
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've already met this person.
18:20
Speaker 5: Sometimes they'll be like really hot, and I'll be like,
18:22
Speaker 5: good for Chelsea, and I can only assume, you know,
18:26
Speaker 5: maybe it's like your fucking pool boy.
18:27
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I use RYA a lot when
18:30
Speaker 3: I'm and yeah, in spurts are periods of my life
18:34
Speaker 3: where I am all about ryacause it's just so fun
18:37
Speaker 3: when you're in a different city and you're just wanting
18:39
Speaker 3: to hook up and nothing more serious.
18:41
Speaker 5: It's perfect tool, oh the best, and you can like
18:44
Speaker 5: I've seen guys from high school that like I had
18:46
Speaker 5: a crush on, or I've seen like my favorite actors
18:49
Speaker 5: and that it's it's good.
18:51
Speaker 3: On that note, we're gonna take a break, Dylan, and
18:54
Speaker 3: we'll be right back with Dylan mulvaney.

Speaker 2: please write in and tell us your story at Dear

Speaker 2: Chelsea Podcast at gmail dot com.
19:17
Speaker 1: And we're back with Dylan mulvaney. Catherine, are we ready
19:20
Speaker 1: to rumble today?
19:21
Speaker 2: We are so ready to rumble. We've got our callers
19:24
Speaker 2: hanging out, We've got questions, and our first question comes
19:28
Speaker 2: from Audrey, I think this fits very much into what
19:32
Speaker 2: you were talking about with dating and dating guys are girls, so,
19:37
Speaker 2: Audrey says, Hi, Chelsea, I'm a twenty two year old
19:40
Speaker 2: trans woman from the South.
19:42
Speaker 4: I have a doozy for you.
19:43
Speaker 2: I've been with a man for four years and we
19:45
Speaker 2: got together a couple months into my transition. I love
19:48
Speaker 2: him and he is my best friend, but I've recently
19:51
Speaker 2: come to the realization that I'm attracted to women. I
19:54
Speaker 2: think I just made myself believe I was attracted to
19:56
Speaker 2: men because I liked how validated and feminine it made
19:59
Speaker 2: me feel to dat man. But I've come to realize
20:02
Speaker 2: my femininity is just as valid being with a man
20:04
Speaker 2: or a woman. After thinking about all of this, my
20:07
Speaker 2: attraction to men has gone way down. It's like once
20:11
Speaker 2: I discovered the truth, my brain wouldn't let me see
20:13
Speaker 2: men the same. My attraction for women is now greater
20:16
Speaker 2: than it is to men. Should I tell him I
20:18
Speaker 2: want to experiment with women. Should we break up? I
20:20
Speaker 2: don't want to hurt my best friend that I love
20:22
Speaker 2: so much, but I want to make some changes. Audrey
20:25
Speaker 2: Dylan Well.
20:27
Speaker 5: I think it's very common for trans people to expand
20:31
Speaker 5: their sexuality, you know, after a gender identity shift, because
20:37
Speaker 5: I think once you unlock one part of yourself, you're like,
20:40
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, there's this Why would I limit myself?
20:42
Speaker 2: You know?
20:42
Speaker 5: It's like I think we put sort of parameters on
20:45
Speaker 5: ourselves and once you open one floodgate, you're like, fuck it.
20:48
Speaker 5: And I think that's kind of what happened with me,
20:51
Speaker 5: is like as far as like, oh, why am I
20:53
Speaker 5: limiting myself? But I also think and it sounds like
20:56
Speaker 5: it's more so just based on her attraction women in
20:59
Speaker 5: less of like her disdain for men, because I more
21:02
Speaker 5: so I'm like, Wow, this grass isn't greener because I
21:05
Speaker 5: had never been with straight men before and now I
21:07
Speaker 5: have and it's actually not the it's not amazing.
21:10
Speaker 3: Yes, gay men, I knows, it's not amazing, And that's
21:13
Speaker 3: why so many women are becoming la.
21:16
Speaker 4: Life lesbian friends make that change.
21:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's totally normal.
21:20
Speaker 5: And then like in getting really serious really fast, which
21:23
Speaker 5: they getting really serious with women, And I think for
21:27
Speaker 5: Audrey it sounds like maybe if there's nothing going on
21:31
Speaker 5: with the relationship that feels toxic or unsafe and she
21:34
Speaker 5: still really does enjoy this person, it sounds like maybe
21:38
Speaker 5: an open relationship might yeah, the option.
21:40
Speaker 3: If he's if he's going to be open for that,
21:42
Speaker 3: But I really don't think you have a choice. Like,
21:45
Speaker 3: when you love someone and you respect them, it is
21:47
Speaker 3: really kind of imperative that you are honest with them. Oh,
21:49
Speaker 3: absolutely so, Like either way, I mean, if he's not
21:53
Speaker 3: open to it, you'll find out right away. But either way,
21:55
Speaker 3: you need to be honest about your desires and see
21:58
Speaker 3: how and give him the opportunity to say yay or
22:01
Speaker 3: if he rejects it, and.
22:02
Speaker 5: Then you have a decision to make right Catherine, did
22:04
Speaker 5: she write specifically that she's met another woman that's kind
22:08
Speaker 5: of interesting to her yet? No?
22:10
Speaker 2: Huhuh, just I think in general.
22:12
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good timing situation. You know, it sounds
22:14
Speaker 5: like a conversation with the boyfriend or you know, the
22:17
Speaker 5: man friend that to see how he feels, you know,
22:19
Speaker 5: about what this relationship could look like.
22:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you should definitely address it.
22:23
Speaker 4: Though.
22:24
Speaker 3: It's good practice to address these uncomfortable conversations as early
22:28
Speaker 3: as you can because life is filled with them, and
22:30
Speaker 3: the better you are at being honest and upfront and
22:32
Speaker 3: direct without it being acrimonious or screaming or yelling, like
22:37
Speaker 3: the more evolved you become and the better skilled you
22:40
Speaker 3: are to actually handle difficult situations.
22:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, Audrey is only twenty two, so
22:47
Speaker 2: like very young, just starting to experience these things. And
22:50
Speaker 2: she also mentioned best friend a couple of times, and
22:53
Speaker 2: there's maybe some examination there of you know, our relationships
22:56
Speaker 2: change over time, and maybe you do feel about this
22:58
Speaker 2: guy more than he's a friends than a real partner, right,
23:02
Speaker 2: you know, or maybe the romantic feelings of shit and
23:05
Speaker 2: gen Z.
23:06
Speaker 5: Is so fluid with their with everything, And I think
23:10
Speaker 5: that my advice to her would be, like, don't try
23:12
Speaker 5: to put a label on what this attraction is for
23:14
Speaker 5: you until you do a little experimenting and you put
23:18
Speaker 5: your you know, like you might like being with women
23:21
Speaker 5: more than you expected, or it might not. But I
23:24
Speaker 5: think in the meantime, having this conversation with the guy
23:27
Speaker 5: and going from there, because I don't think anyone in
23:30
Speaker 5: that age group is going to be judgy.
23:34
Speaker 3: I also think it's a great time in your life
23:37
Speaker 3: to be experimenting with your femininity. Like I liked what
23:40
Speaker 3: you said in her letter about like she's realizing that
23:42
Speaker 3: her femininity isn't reliant upon a male presence.
23:45
Speaker 4: I did get a little nervous.
23:47
Speaker 5: I thought about, you know, being with the woman, would
23:50
Speaker 5: that make me feel like I had to like step
23:52
Speaker 5: up and put on sort of these like masculine qualities.
23:56
Speaker 5: But it's never been that way. And I think that
23:59
Speaker 5: as long as it's giving you dysphoria, it can be
24:02
Speaker 5: really beautiful because a woman honoring a trans woman's existence,
24:07
Speaker 5: like in a romantic relationship, is really special.
24:10
Speaker 1: What ended up happening with you and this older woman
24:13
Speaker 1: or this this woman, you were just the mama bird,
24:16
Speaker 1: the mama bird.
24:17
Speaker 4: Sorry you did not we kissed, but then I think
24:19
Speaker 4: it was then you were urgitated. Well, then I asked you.
24:22
Speaker 5: I asked her. I was like, well, how do we
24:23
Speaker 5: go from cute to fuckable? And she was like, you
24:26
Speaker 5: need to have more sex? And I was like, how
24:27
Speaker 5: do you know I'm not having more sex? And she
24:29
Speaker 5: was like, well are you? And I was like no.
24:33
Speaker 5: And so I think it was kind of like doctor's
24:35
Speaker 5: order situation. And then I'll circle back, you know.
24:38
Speaker 3: With like SOD two weeks after you've told me some
24:42
Speaker 3: it sounds like your your pairing skills are great.
24:45
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I've been on a roll late. I
24:47
Speaker 1: mean I've hoped up, I've made I've actually set three
24:50
Speaker 1: people up in the last six months.
24:52
Speaker 4: Maybe find me. I could go with the man, Okay, but.
24:54
Speaker 1: Like I gotta think, I gotta start thinking.
24:56
Speaker 4: Gety to sixty, thirty to sixty, yeah kind of range.
25:00
Speaker 1: Is that way older? Though I like older too.
25:03
Speaker 4: I want somebody very sure of themselves, successful tall.
25:07
Speaker 1: I could see you with an older man.
25:09
Speaker 4: Actually, first I'm the first wife. No, I'm third wife vibes,
25:12
Speaker 4: and then he's my first.
25:13
Speaker 1: Husband, especially with like, what's the way you're vibing?
25:15
Speaker 7: Now?
25:16
Speaker 1: I know you're dressed to go to the theater, right.
25:17
Speaker 4: No, I wear this all the time.
25:21
Speaker 5: You never know what's sixty year old man you're gonna
25:22
Speaker 5: meet on the streets of New York on his way
25:24
Speaker 5: home from Wall Street.
25:26
Speaker 1: On his way home from his podcast, think about.
25:27
Speaker 4: What Wall Street was? Oh God, that's my one condition.
25:30
Speaker 5: No men podcast unless it's something really boring talking about
25:35
Speaker 5: money management.
25:37
Speaker 1: Okay, Catherine, money man.
25:40
Speaker 2: Our next color is Jerry Jerry?
25:44
Speaker 1: Is is it Jerry Seinfeldt?
25:46
Speaker 2: It's not Jerry Seigne.
25:47
Speaker 1: He's always calling in.
25:49
Speaker 2: I can't keep him off the long No Jerry is
25:52
Speaker 2: calling in from Chicago, and Jerry uses pronouns fave M.
25:56
Speaker 2: You're Chelsea. I'm a forty two year old non binary
25:59
Speaker 2: gender queer person and assigned mail at birth. But if
26:02
Speaker 2: you knew me in my day today, you would only
26:04
Speaker 2: know this from my stand up. That's because certain open
26:07
Speaker 2: mics are the only place I feel safe dressing or
26:09
Speaker 2: acting feminine, probably because I can claim that I'm just joking.
26:14
Speaker 2: I don't enforce my pronouns at work because after numerous attempts,
26:17
Speaker 2: I've lost hope. When I see a cute blouse, I
26:19
Speaker 2: will always talk myself out of buying it, and when
26:22
Speaker 2: I do muster the courage to wear quote women's clothes
26:25
Speaker 2: out of the house, part of me still feels a
26:27
Speaker 2: little strange. My stand up hobby has been a great
26:30
Speaker 2: way to cope. I joke that I've always looked like
26:32
Speaker 2: a daddy but talk like a mommy, and how it
26:34
Speaker 2: unnecessarily confuses people. But I know this is just a
26:37
Speaker 2: band aid on the real problem. I hate to admit it,
26:40
Speaker 2: but I'm so ready to give up and conform again.
26:43
Speaker 2: Ever since I had to I don't know, ever since
26:45
Speaker 2: I had to stop being a lawyer for my health.
26:47
Speaker 2: Confronting anyone about any issue, big or small has triggered
26:50
Speaker 2: my fight or flight response, and mine is usually freeze.
26:53
Speaker 2: And I feel so lonely because the only people my
26:56
Speaker 2: age coming out as non binary are celebrities like JVN
26:59
Speaker 2: or Sam Smith. If when you wore a jumpsuit in
27:02
Speaker 2: one of your specials, Chelsea, I bought a jumpsuit tour
27:04
Speaker 2: to my open mics. Everyone who went up after me
27:07
Speaker 2: made fun of it, and I didn't even care because
27:09
Speaker 2: I kind of felt like I was channeling your confidence.
27:11
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm hoping you can work your magic on this problem.
27:14
Speaker 2: I honestly don't see a solution to You're devoted, but
27:17
Speaker 2: not in a creepy way. Fan Jerry Vevam hi je
27:20
Speaker 2: Jerry will join us here perfect.
27:23
Speaker 1: Oh what a conundrum it is really just it's just
27:28
Speaker 1: brutal hew in these streets, I know.
27:31
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just so hard to even be what
27:33
Speaker 3: people expect of you, and then you want to be
27:35
Speaker 3: something that people don't expect, and then you have to
27:37
Speaker 3: con You're consumed with what other people think, and I
27:41
Speaker 3: hate that. I hate that everyone is so consumed with
27:43
Speaker 3: what other people think and how they're going to view
27:46
Speaker 3: them and how you get rid of that. People are
27:49
Speaker 3: always like, how are you so confident? I'm like, I
27:51
Speaker 3: don't feel like I'm that confident, but I just I'm
27:53
Speaker 3: not interested in negative opinions about me.
27:56
Speaker 4: Do you ever feel like you might have a sheathe
27:58
Speaker 4: in your bio?
28:00
Speaker 1: Something like that is happening? Wow, something like that.
28:03
Speaker 4: Coming out episode? Hi, Jerry, Oh, I love you already.
28:06
Speaker 4: I'm Dylan, by the way.
28:07
Speaker 1: Dylan Mulvaney's our special guest.
28:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm familiar. I've seen your your videos
28:13
Speaker 8: on TikTok and really moving.
28:14
Speaker 1: Okay, talk to us.
28:16
Speaker 3: So you're feeling pretty like low and not able to
28:19
Speaker 3: express yourself.
28:21
Speaker 8: I can't enjoy being feminine because there's just always like
28:25
Speaker 8: a fear attached to it.
28:27
Speaker 5: And you did say, you know, you wore that jumpsuit,
28:30
Speaker 5: which I'm so obsessed with already, But you said that
28:33
Speaker 5: other people commented negatively about it.
28:36
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, But I.
28:37
Speaker 8: Mean that wasn't so much generated so much as like,
28:40
Speaker 8: oh yeah, or you off to like construction work or something.
28:44
Speaker 4: I think it's iconic.
28:46
Speaker 5: My worry for you is that I don't want you
28:48
Speaker 5: to use stand up as a way to self deprecate
28:51
Speaker 5: about yourself, because I think a lot of comedy can
28:54
Speaker 5: go in that direction, and especially if the crowds you're
28:57
Speaker 5: performing for are more of the straight or taurus crowd.
29:02
Speaker 5: What I really want you to try to focus on
29:04
Speaker 5: is finding those like specifically queer or trans or non
29:08
Speaker 5: binary open mics, because that's where you can make, you know,
29:12
Speaker 5: light of a situation without having to be the butt
29:15
Speaker 5: of every single joke. And I got back in a
29:18
Speaker 5: stand up recently since I had, you know, transitioned, and
29:21
Speaker 5: I found myself in these rooms where they were only
29:24
Speaker 5: laughing when I was putting myself really down or you know,
29:27
Speaker 5: referring back to myself as a gay man or what
29:30
Speaker 5: like it. And I think, as much as it might
29:32
Speaker 5: feel good to get that laugh, I just don't want you,
29:35
Speaker 5: especially in such a sensitive time where you are truly
29:38
Speaker 5: finding your true self, and I don't want it to
29:42
Speaker 5: hinder that in any way. I want you to protect yourself.
29:45
Speaker 5: And I also I went by day then Pronounce for
29:48
Speaker 5: about a year and three months before I fully transitioned,
29:52
Speaker 5: and I just wanted to confirm with you, like it
29:55
Speaker 5: can be so lonely because people some people just don't
29:58
Speaker 5: get it.
29:59
Speaker 4: What do you think.
30:01
Speaker 1: I think that you have to I understand and I can't.
30:04
Speaker 3: You know, I haven't been through this myself, but I
30:08
Speaker 3: think it's really important to have strong conversations with yourself
30:11
Speaker 3: every single day about who you are and what you're
30:15
Speaker 3: putting out there, you know what I mean, so that
30:16
Speaker 3: you have confidence in your decision making and that other
30:20
Speaker 3: people aren't having such an impact on the way that
30:22
Speaker 3: you feel about yourself. You're not looking for their validation.
30:27
Speaker 3: You have the desire to express your feminine side that
30:31
Speaker 3: has nothing really to do with any of them, and
30:33
Speaker 3: if they don't like it, that's also not your problem.
30:36
Speaker 3: You need to go where the light is, you know
30:38
Speaker 3: what I mean, like the people that love you, the
30:40
Speaker 3: people that understand you, and when you're on stage. I
30:42
Speaker 3: agree with what Dylan said, Listen, a lot of comedy
30:44
Speaker 3: is self deprecating. I'm self deprecating, but I think it's
30:47
Speaker 3: important to recognize the difference between making fun of yourself
30:51
Speaker 3: to fit in versus making fun of yourself because.
30:55
Speaker 5: You already love that part of yourself and it's safe
30:57
Speaker 5: territory to make light of.
31:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like you're missing a chunk of self love,
31:04
Speaker 3: and if I were going to give you any advice,
31:06
Speaker 3: I would say to fill yourself up every single day
31:09
Speaker 3: before you leave the house, whether that's with like affirmations,
31:12
Speaker 3: a gratitude journal, or looking in the mirror and telling
31:15
Speaker 3: yourself that you're a fucking rock star, that you're beautiful,
31:18
Speaker 3: that you're kind, that you're capable, and that you're intelligent.
31:21
Speaker 3: And keep having these ongoing conversations with yourself because I know, Dylan,
31:25
Speaker 3: you had to do that for a very long time too.
31:28
Speaker 5: Oh, it can be so lonely and still, you know,
31:31
Speaker 5: Like I think what was sad was when I did
31:34
Speaker 5: transition back onto the binary. In some ways, it was
31:37
Speaker 5: like a little bit of relief because people at least
31:39
Speaker 5: knew where to put me or what you know, where
31:42
Speaker 5: to slot me. And just don't give into that pressure
31:46
Speaker 5: right now, because I want you to put yourself in spaces,
31:50
Speaker 5: whether that's queer bars or open mics or meetup groups,
31:55
Speaker 5: activities that like you know one hundred percent that the
31:58
Speaker 5: people there are going to honor your puns, They're going
32:01
Speaker 5: to complement your fun, feminine outfits. Find someone to go
32:05
Speaker 5: shopping with that you feel really safe and is going
32:08
Speaker 5: to like make you feel euphoric. I know dating can
32:11
Speaker 5: also be really tricky, but you've got to oh my gosh, honey,
32:15
Speaker 5: I don't I fucking know it. And you have to
32:19
Speaker 5: right now prioritize your identity and not your comedy career,
32:24
Speaker 5: not relationships, not And this is your time to really explore,
32:28
Speaker 5: because if you don't go all the way into whatever
32:32
Speaker 5: it is you're interested in or what you are looking
32:35
Speaker 5: to find, you might shut yourself off from a lot
32:38
Speaker 5: of beautiful things.
32:39
Speaker 1: Do you have a small community there in Chicago that's
32:41
Speaker 1: separate from your work?
32:43
Speaker 4: Not really, I need to look harder.
32:45
Speaker 5: Right I think it can be expensive, but I know
32:48
Speaker 5: Second City and the Groundlings, and you know, there's a
32:51
Speaker 5: bunch of comedy theaters there that have a bunch of classes,
32:55
Speaker 5: and I imagine that they attract some queer folks. And
32:58
Speaker 5: although that's not, you know, necessarily a queer meetup by
33:02
Speaker 5: any means, I do think that there might be some
33:04
Speaker 5: really cool, safe people there to get to know, and
33:07
Speaker 5: especially like you might not need group therapy, but I
33:10
Speaker 5: think a group laugh can be a great thing.
33:13
Speaker 2: I would like to ask one piece of advice on
33:15
Speaker 2: behalf of Jerry, so as far as like the outfit
33:18
Speaker 2: goes right, Jerry is you know, channeling Chelsea and while
33:22
Speaker 2: wearing like a Chelsea type outbit with the jumpsuit. But
33:25
Speaker 2: is there a way that Jerry can preempt those sorts
33:28
Speaker 2: of jokes when they do come up and sort of
33:31
Speaker 2: like talk about how they look fabulous, like before anybody
33:34
Speaker 2: else comes up and makes a big deal about it.
33:36
Speaker 3: I have a friend, a comedian friend named Michael Folk
33:39
Speaker 3: who dresses like he likes to dress like a woman,
33:41
Speaker 3: and he goes by they them he's non binary, and
33:44
Speaker 3: he sometimes wears dresses sometimes.
33:46
Speaker 4: They like to wear dresses.
33:48
Speaker 3: They like to wear dresses, Thank you. They like to
33:50
Speaker 3: wear dresses, and they have a great attitude about it
33:55
Speaker 3: because it's just part of who they are. They're not
33:57
Speaker 3: ever explaining themselves, and if anyone does probe or lean in,
34:03
Speaker 3: they're just like there's no question, Like there's such a
34:06
Speaker 3: confidence about what they're doing that there's no question And
34:10
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter because you can't be doing this looking
34:13
Speaker 3: for everybody's approval. It's outside of a lot of people's
34:17
Speaker 3: comfort zones. Again, that is not your problem. That is
34:20
Speaker 3: their problem. That is their issue. Let people figure out
34:23
Speaker 3: how they're going to talk to you, you know, and
34:25
Speaker 3: you can't expect everybody to like fall in place with
34:28
Speaker 3: what you know how you want to identify, because it's
34:31
Speaker 3: so out of touch with them.
34:32
Speaker 1: But you have every right to identify however you want.
34:35
Speaker 3: So you've got to like really instill in yourself whatever
34:39
Speaker 3: confidence you were able to come up with, to say,
34:42
Speaker 3: this is who I am, this is what I'm gonna do,
34:45
Speaker 3: and you're gonna either love.
34:46
Speaker 1: Me or you're gonna hate me, and neither one of
34:48
Speaker 1: those things are my problem.
34:49
Speaker 4: Amen.
34:51
Speaker 3: And I think when you really do lean into who
34:53
Speaker 3: you are and what your desires are, there is a
34:57
Speaker 3: magnetic field that you kind of create around you that
35:02
Speaker 3: attracts like minded people because you're living out loud in
35:06
Speaker 3: a brave way.
35:07
Speaker 5: Yes, And when you start vetting some of those people out,
35:10
Speaker 5: I think that makes room for the good ones to
35:12
Speaker 5: come in because what I did early on were I
35:15
Speaker 5: could you can sometimes just tell when people you know
35:18
Speaker 5: are if they're not catching up with your pronouns after
35:21
Speaker 5: you know, months of years of knowing you, or if
35:24
Speaker 5: they're making snide comments about your outfits or whatever that
35:27
Speaker 5: might be. That's when you start hitting the sort of
35:32
Speaker 5: do not disturb button on that friendship because that then
35:35
Speaker 5: expands for more people to come in.
35:37
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I believe that to be true for sure. It's
35:40
Speaker 3: about creating your own magnetic field. And the more you
35:43
Speaker 3: are true to yourself, the more you shine, the more
35:45
Speaker 3: abuiliant you can be. I know I had to throw
35:49
Speaker 3: that in there because it's really the right descriptor. You know,
35:51
Speaker 3: you want to be a ball all of light, like.
35:53
Speaker 4: Teach people how to treat you right.
35:56
Speaker 5: Even I remember with my family, you know, we took
35:59
Speaker 5: a little bit of time. I'm a part and I
36:01
Speaker 5: had to have some real tough conversations, but they got
36:03
Speaker 5: it when they realized how important these things were.
36:05
Speaker 3: To huh and again, and this is repetitive, which I'm
36:10
Speaker 3: very good at. You can't rely on other people's reactions
36:14
Speaker 3: to you to fill your cup up. That is not
36:16
Speaker 3: how you get your cup filled. That is an inside job.
36:19
Speaker 3: You have to fulfill yourself. You have to fill yourself up.
36:22
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes you can have somebody fill you up.
36:24
Speaker 3: Hopefully one day's time that will happen for you. And
36:27
Speaker 3: I love to get filled up. But on this notion,
36:31
Speaker 3: it is it is a you know, it's your self employed.
36:35
Speaker 3: You have to take care of your own happiness, and
36:37
Speaker 3: once you have that, then nobody can take that from you,
36:40
Speaker 3: no matter what their reactions. Do you are and no
36:42
Speaker 3: matter what their judgment is. And the more comfortable you
36:45
Speaker 3: are with yourself, the more uncomfortable people become around you.
36:49
Speaker 3: What she said, Okay, problem solved. Problem solved.
36:53
Speaker 2: Well, we have another color joining us shortly, and we
36:56
Speaker 2: had a bit of a curveball. This coller is l K?
37:00
Speaker 1: Is that el King? Is she calling in again from
37:02
Speaker 1: her last episode?
37:03
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't put it past her.
37:05
Speaker 3: I love el King. She and I have been texting,
37:07
Speaker 3: have you? Oh yeah, yeah, I'd like her attitude. She's
37:10
Speaker 3: a country so she was on the podcast last year.
37:13
Speaker 2: Elk says, I'm a thirty seven year old divorce This
37:16
Speaker 2: takes a turn, so stick with me here. I'm a
37:19
Speaker 2: thirty seven year old divorce lesbian living in Alabama. I've
37:22
Speaker 2: managed Mede, a lovely woman by Happenstance, who is in
37:24
Speaker 2: all regards a ten. We've become fast friends and I'm
37:28
Speaker 2: digging the friendship. But damn am I into her? I
37:31
Speaker 2: find myself stumbling over my words and acting like a
37:33
Speaker 2: child with a crush. This is not normal territory for me.
37:36
Speaker 2: I'm usually much more confident and direct, but this woman
37:39
Speaker 2: is special. I know she had a tough breakup and
37:41
Speaker 2: maybe the last year, and I also know when we
37:43
Speaker 2: met in February she mentioned she hasn't been interested in
37:46
Speaker 2: dating since the breakup. What do I do continue building
37:49
Speaker 2: the friendship or make my intentions known while I ruin
37:52
Speaker 2: the friendship? If I tell her my feelings and she's
37:54
Speaker 2: not feeling it, I just don't know what to do.
37:56
Speaker 2: And then so el K reached out today and said
37:59
Speaker 2: she's had a bun stuff kind of come up in
38:01
Speaker 2: therapy and this is like still sort of a part
38:03
Speaker 2: of her story, but is taking a bit of a
38:05
Speaker 2: back seat. So I thought we could talk a little
38:07
Speaker 2: bit about multiple things kind of going on in our
38:10
Speaker 2: lives at once. But Elk says, I wrote in about
38:13
Speaker 2: having a crush and I looked forward to talking to
38:15
Speaker 2: you about that. However, since first writing in, I've had
38:18
Speaker 2: some major developments in therapy, one of them being a
38:21
Speaker 2: slow uncovering of childhood trauma. I've lost both my parents
38:24
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty, and my last grandparent passed last month.
38:27
Speaker 2: I'm unsure if part of me was protecting the elders
38:29
Speaker 2: in my life. But it seems something in my brain
38:31
Speaker 2: unlocked after my grandmother passed. How do I maintain my job,
38:35
Speaker 2: myself and my sanity as I work through these muddy waters.
38:38
Speaker 2: Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Elka, so a
38:42
Speaker 2: lot to unpack.
38:43
Speaker 1: Hi father, Hi ay, Hi cutie?
38:47
Speaker 4: How are you fucking handler?
38:49
Speaker 1: And good are you.
38:52
Speaker 4: Fucking lover?
38:53
Speaker 1: This is Dylan mulvaney, our special guest today.
38:56
Speaker 4: Ah Hi Lka nas, nice to meet you.
39:01
Speaker 3: Nice to meet you too. What a beautiful big smile
39:04
Speaker 3: you have on your face. I love it.
39:06
Speaker 1: Thank you.
39:07
Speaker 3: First of all, what's going on with the girl? Are
39:09
Speaker 3: you still just totally took a back seat.
39:12
Speaker 6: I mean she's a friend and I was looking forward
39:15
Speaker 6: to talking to you about that. I was kind of
39:16
Speaker 6: in that like giddy, like you know, I felt like
39:19
Speaker 6: a little kid, like just kind of tickled. And then
39:23
Speaker 6: it was like I'm in therapy, like working on some
39:26
Speaker 6: stuff and just like out of nowhere, therapy just like
39:28
Speaker 6: hit me like a truck and was like, no, you
39:31
Speaker 6: got more important things to think about.
39:34
Speaker 3: Okay, Well this is all good, okay, because this is
39:37
Speaker 3: all good.
39:37
Speaker 1: It's better that therapy took a front seat.
39:39
Speaker 3: That's a good sign because it is it needs to
39:41
Speaker 3: take a front seat before any real, normal, healthy relationships happen.
39:45
Speaker 3: Therapy is the is what you do to have normal, healthy,
39:49
Speaker 3: happy relationships. Especially well, let me say this, I think
39:54
Speaker 3: that when you're with the second question you asked, which is,
39:56
Speaker 3: how do you remain connected to your work and be
39:59
Speaker 3: productive and and be engaged in all the things that
40:02
Speaker 3: life requires from you while you're going through therapy. And
40:06
Speaker 3: the answer to that is easily, because you are doing
40:10
Speaker 3: the work that that is going to make you an
40:12
Speaker 3: even more whole person and an even more healthy person.
40:17
Speaker 3: So all of these things that you have going on
40:19
Speaker 3: while you're going to therapy actually complement your therapy because
40:22
Speaker 3: you're doing it while you're facing all of your responsibilities.
40:25
Speaker 3: And while so all of it is good, you can
40:27
Speaker 3: do all of it at the same time. Therapy is
40:29
Speaker 3: not meant to like you're supposed to take two years
40:31
Speaker 3: off from life. I mean only people can do that,
40:34
Speaker 3: you know, like I did that because you know why.
40:37
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, that's not really nice.
40:40
Speaker 3: That's awesome, but yeah, not relatable, not relatable at all.
40:48
Speaker 3: But really, but but the other great thing about going
40:53
Speaker 3: to therapy while you're living your life is that you
40:55
Speaker 3: can integrate your therapy and what you learn into your
40:59
Speaker 3: life in real time. Whereas I took two years off
41:02
Speaker 3: just to go to therapy and travel.
41:04
Speaker 1: So when I was.
41:04
Speaker 3: Done with therapy, I'm like, how do I match all
41:07
Speaker 3: of this stuff into my life when I'm working? So
41:09
Speaker 3: you actually have an advantage that you don't even really see, sure,
41:12
Speaker 3: because you're going to be incorporating the things you learn
41:16
Speaker 3: as you're living your life in a real way.
41:19
Speaker 1: Sure, sure going to therapy weekly? Like yeah, do miss right? Well,
41:25
Speaker 1: no don't you shouldn't.
41:26
Speaker 3: I mean hopefully you know you'll go and then at
41:29
Speaker 3: a certain point you'll be like, Okay, you know, I
41:31
Speaker 3: can take a break or I'm ready for a relationship.
41:35
Speaker 3: It also sounds very healthy that you recognized that this
41:38
Speaker 3: crush you had is not as important as you dealing
41:42
Speaker 3: with your childhood issues.
41:43
Speaker 1: Yeah that's healthy.
41:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you were more still focused on that
41:47
Speaker 3: while you were doing this, it would mean that you
41:49
Speaker 3: had your priorities a little bit out of whack.
41:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
41:52
Speaker 6: I was focused on the kind of the stuff that
41:54
Speaker 6: was coming up, and I was like, oh, ships talked
41:56
Speaker 6: with Chelsea Handler about a crush. I don't want to
42:00
Speaker 6: come out to Chelsea, but it doesn't feel as important
42:03
Speaker 6: to talk about.
42:05
Speaker 3: I think sometimes people make up problems to call in.
42:07
Speaker 3: They're like, uh, what color should I paint my I'm
42:10
Speaker 3: like what?
42:12
Speaker 4: And did you do? You just lost some loved ones too.
42:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, I lost my mom in twenty twenty and my
42:18
Speaker 6: dad in twenty twenty two.
42:20
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry for your loss.
42:21
Speaker 5: I think that thank you know, while you're navigating the
42:25
Speaker 5: grief and the new sort of therapy of it all,
42:28
Speaker 5: I still want you to be able to find the joy,
42:30
Speaker 5: because sometimes we go zero to one hundred, especially in
42:33
Speaker 5: something that's so intense as mental health can be, and
42:37
Speaker 5: we go in that direction, we forget to be silly,
42:40
Speaker 5: we forget to be in love, we forget to treat
42:43
Speaker 5: ourselves to the frivolous things. So I actually am kind
42:47
Speaker 5: of pro you still, you know, maybe not as heavily
42:52
Speaker 5: engaging a crush, but sometimes having a crush is really
42:54
Speaker 5: fun and can kind of help you take your mind
42:56
Speaker 5: off serious things and not to disassociate and put all
43:00
Speaker 5: your eggs in that basket. But I like to think
43:02
Speaker 5: of dating kind of as like an iPhone game, well
43:05
Speaker 5: because so much of it is, you know, swiping, but
43:08
Speaker 5: you know, just that thing that I'm like, oh, I
43:10
Speaker 5: don't have that much. You know, i already did my
43:12
Speaker 5: therapy for the day, I've already had a good cry.
43:14
Speaker 5: What can we do next? Let's try to fuck someone.
43:17
Speaker 5: But I actually wanted to ask you. I wanted to
43:19
Speaker 5: ask you about this friendship thing because I've been in
43:21
Speaker 5: that situation too, where you know you're you're friends with
43:24
Speaker 5: someone and you think, oh, maybe this could be more,
43:27
Speaker 5: but it can be a little awkward about trying to
43:29
Speaker 5: get there. Do you think there's are you the kind
43:32
Speaker 5: of person that would be willing to, you know, say something,
43:36
Speaker 5: or do you think you would need a really clear sign?
43:39
Speaker 1: I think I would need.
43:40
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't have any problems being direcked. But
43:43
Speaker 6: at the same time, it was the first time, like
43:45
Speaker 6: in my adulthood, where I got kind of like like
43:48
Speaker 6: that giddy just like kind of stupid.
43:51
Speaker 3: You know, the best, the best feeling in the world
43:54
Speaker 3: is that is really truly just like.
43:56
Speaker 6: I am now, I'm just bumbling over my words, just
43:59
Speaker 6: like I.
43:59
Speaker 4: Don't know you don't want to. You don't want to
44:02
Speaker 4: ruin the friendship. So what do you what do you
44:04
Speaker 4: say to somebody who like, well, what is the what
44:06
Speaker 4: is the vibe?
44:07
Speaker 3: Break it down a little bit more specifically, what has
44:09
Speaker 3: been been the vibe of late?
44:11
Speaker 6: We don't live in the same town, so I haven't
44:14
Speaker 6: hung out with her in person, and so I mean
44:16
Speaker 6: it's a newer friend. I don't think she doesn't strike
44:20
Speaker 6: me as really interested in anything right now, not just
44:24
Speaker 6: with me, but like in general.
44:25
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I'm reading that wrong or not.
44:28
Speaker 3: Well, I think that I think the important takeaway from
44:31
Speaker 3: this is you're getting yourself healthy and you're creating like
44:34
Speaker 3: a better version of you that that will be like
44:37
Speaker 3: the a net result after this therapy. It's gonna make
44:40
Speaker 3: you sexier, it's gonna make you everything better, and you're
44:42
Speaker 3: gonna and then you're gonna be in a better place
44:44
Speaker 3: and maybe she'll be in a different place and you
44:46
Speaker 3: can pursue that down the road. But I think your
44:48
Speaker 3: focal point should just be you right now. And it
44:51
Speaker 3: sounds like you're doing that and that's that's only good.
44:54
Speaker 3: That is only good. Nothing bad is going to come
44:56
Speaker 3: out of that you're gonna get through your therapy sessions.
44:59
Speaker 3: Some are going to be true and some are gonna
45:01
Speaker 3: be less tricky, but you're gonna go through the gamut
45:03
Speaker 3: of emotions and when you come out on the other side,
45:05
Speaker 3: you're gonna be a better person. You're gonna be a better,
45:07
Speaker 3: fuller version of yourself. And and I love that you
45:10
Speaker 3: said you're direct. Most people can't fucking be direct, so
45:13
Speaker 3: great you have that advantage too.
45:14
Speaker 1: I'm an m eatee too, so you could just.
45:17
Speaker 3: Go up to her and be like, I like pussy?
45:18
Speaker 3: Do you like mine? You know, it's simple when the
45:22
Speaker 3: time is right.
45:23
Speaker 4: You ever said that to someone?
45:24
Speaker 1: Do I like pussy? Do I? Do you like pussy?
45:27
Speaker 4: Do you like mine? Said very I said it like
45:33
Speaker 4: it wasn't the first time.
45:35
Speaker 5: It's all I'm saying, Okay, you want pussy, go get it.
45:42
Speaker 4: Oh fuck, my mom can't listen to this one.
45:45
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about my sisters. I was like,
45:47
Speaker 1: they're gonna be anyway.
45:50
Speaker 3: You're a You're a love, You're a joyful and happy
45:53
Speaker 3: and I'm happy for you and you're gonna be fine.
45:55
Speaker 1: And yeah, keep doing what you're doing.
45:58
Speaker 6: Thanks Chelsea, Love you Okay, love you, thanks so much.
46:03
Speaker 1: Oh cute. Her accent reminds me a fortune themestir.
46:08
Speaker 4: I love it.
46:10
Speaker 2: Well, let's take a quick break and we can wrap
46:13
Speaker 2: up with a quickie.
46:14
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, take a break and we'll be right back
46:16
Speaker 3: to wrap up with Dylan mulvaney.
46:22
Speaker 2: And we're back, are back, So one last little question
46:26
Speaker 2: to wrap up. Kara is in her thirties and she
46:30
Speaker 2: writes in and says, Dear Chelsea, A situation I've been
46:33
Speaker 2: dealing with lately is one of my best friends is
46:35
Speaker 2: single and longing for someone special. I'm newly married, so
46:39
Speaker 2: it's difficult for me to give dating advice without sounding
46:42
Speaker 2: lame and tone deaf. I remember being the only one
46:44
Speaker 2: of my single friends before I met my now husband,
46:47
Speaker 2: surrounded by married friends constantly hearing don't worry, you'll find someone. Honestly,
46:52
Speaker 2: it got annoying after a while, and it didn't help.
46:55
Speaker 2: I do not want to come off that way to
46:57
Speaker 2: my friend and want to support her in any way
46:59
Speaker 2: while she looks for quote the one my friend is
47:01
Speaker 2: one of the coolest people I have ever met. We're
47:04
Speaker 2: both out doorsy and she does pottery and other art
47:06
Speaker 2: and is incredibly talented. Most importantly, she has a huge
47:10
Speaker 2: heart that I know would be appreciated by the right person.
47:12
Speaker 2: She's been going on dates that seem promising at first,
47:15
Speaker 2: and then after a couple dates, they end up acting weird,
47:17
Speaker 2: and I think it's discouraged her quite a bit. She
47:19
Speaker 2: always asks what's wrong with her when it isn't her
47:22
Speaker 2: at all. It's just men being men. It takes everything
47:25
Speaker 2: in me to stop myself from finding these men and
47:27
Speaker 2: beating the shit out of them for being so stupid
47:29
Speaker 2: and hurting one of the best people I know. I
47:31
Speaker 2: don't want her to give up when I know she
47:33
Speaker 2: wants a partner for life and a family. If any
47:36
Speaker 2: of your listeners happen to be a straight man who
47:37
Speaker 2: loves art, the outdoors, and who isn't an asshole, then
47:40
Speaker 2: do I have the woman for you? Until then? What
47:43
Speaker 2: advice would you give my friend if you were me, Kara.
47:46
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be that kind of pat that's
47:48
Speaker 3: so meaningless to be like, you're going to find your person,
47:51
Speaker 3: You're going to find someone.
47:52
Speaker 1: There's so nothing in that.
47:54
Speaker 3: What I think is is just to keep motivating your
47:57
Speaker 3: friend to keep trying to keep going out there. To
48:00
Speaker 3: meet men that you might think are appropriate for her,
48:02
Speaker 3: or if you do meet a guy that you're like,
48:04
Speaker 3: oh wait, actually do it and encourage your other friends,
48:07
Speaker 3: if you have other friends in your friend group, to
48:09
Speaker 3: do the same for her in supporting her to meet
48:12
Speaker 3: that guy. I know, whenever my friends try to set
48:14
Speaker 3: me up, I find I'm I well, actually, let me
48:17
Speaker 3: take that back. Some of my friends when they want
48:20
Speaker 3: to set me up my good, close friends, then that's
48:23
Speaker 3: okay because they know me well enough and they are
48:26
Speaker 3: close friends, and you have every right just to be
48:27
Speaker 3: as encouraging and as uppy as possible about it.
48:31
Speaker 5: And I loved that she even pitched her friends, you know,
48:33
Speaker 5: her friend to people. She's like, if anybody's looking, now,
48:36
Speaker 5: that's a cool friend, right, that's so.
48:37
Speaker 4: That right there is the energy.
48:39
Speaker 5: My favorite thing when like a friend of mine, I
48:42
Speaker 5: don't love the whole you're gonna find someone.
48:44
Speaker 4: I love the how the fuck are you still single?
48:47
Speaker 4: Like that's fucking crazy.
48:48
Speaker 5: I like when there's sort of this energy of like, well,
48:51
Speaker 5: that's just fucking why, Like because I do that a
48:53
Speaker 5: lot with them, my other single friends, where.
48:55
Speaker 4: It's like how is this possible?
48:56
Speaker 5: Like we're so hot and fun and so maybe kind
49:00
Speaker 5: of like leaning into that a little bit, you know,
49:03
Speaker 5: build her confidence up in herself, in her personality and
49:08
Speaker 5: her looks, and make her feel like the fullest version
49:11
Speaker 5: of herself as a friend, rather than putting so much
49:14
Speaker 5: emphasis on the what she's.
49:16
Speaker 4: Going to be like when she has a relationship.
49:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and making it dating fun and being an
49:21
Speaker 3: energetic Like when you look at the subject matter of dating,
49:25
Speaker 3: it can be depleting if you have that attitude, it
49:27
Speaker 3: can be exhausting, right, or it could be fun and
49:30
Speaker 3: hopeful and happy. And I think as a friend, you
49:34
Speaker 3: sound like you really care about your friend. So you're
49:36
Speaker 3: the person to keep her bolstered up, you know what
49:38
Speaker 3: I mean, keep her going and and be energized when
49:42
Speaker 3: she's on a date. And if it's disappointing, okay, that's okay,
49:45
Speaker 3: Well that's out of the way.
49:45
Speaker 1: Let's get to the next one.
49:47
Speaker 3: The more people she says no to or that say
49:48
Speaker 3: no to her, the closer she is to finding the
49:50
Speaker 3: person that she is going to want to spend more
49:52
Speaker 3: time with. So I think she's very very lucky to
49:55
Speaker 3: have a friend like you, and you can just be
49:57
Speaker 3: an even better friend by helping her through this and
50:00
Speaker 3: not looking at her being single as some sort of
50:03
Speaker 3: losing a game. There's benefits to being single and being
50:06
Speaker 3: in this phase looking for your love too. This is
50:09
Speaker 3: an exciting part while you're looking. It's like, you know,
50:12
Speaker 3: enjoy the journey, not the result of the journey. That's
50:15
Speaker 3: kind of hard to do when you don't understand or
50:17
Speaker 3: you haven't been through it and understand. Oh yes, it
50:20
Speaker 3: is about the way that you're getting there. It's not
50:22
Speaker 3: always about the end result.
50:24
Speaker 5: So or give them, you know, a constructive piece of
50:26
Speaker 5: advice of like how you found someone or what worked
50:29
Speaker 5: for you, or you know, like back in the day,
50:32
Speaker 5: however long ago that was.
50:33
Speaker 4: I think that can be.
50:34
Speaker 5: Like my my best friend Lily will often you know,
50:37
Speaker 5: give me Like we'll go out and you know, I'll
50:40
Speaker 5: start talking someone's ear off that I think is hot,
50:42
Speaker 5: and she's like, pull back, pull back, and like.
50:44
Speaker 4: That kind of stuff. I think that's fun. I think
50:47
Speaker 4: that's what I'd like to hear.
50:49
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to watch you on a date
50:51
Speaker 1: and see what happens.
50:52
Speaker 4: The car and it goes it gets in a wreck
