• 0:22
  Speaker 2: watching Sex and the City Together as it is Annie's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: first time and my probably two hundredth time. And once
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't like this episode, then I bypassed it. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: think I did. This was my und beended episode. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: would bypass because there is a situation that embarrasses me.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Oh a lot that I'm like, no, super cringe, super cringe.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I hate this. Okay, so there is one that I
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: will be like, might even turn rug. But yes, as
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a happy hour, of course, we would tell you if
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you're drinking, drink responsibly, whatever you're doing, be responsible, take
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: care of yourself, do what you need to do to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: get to that good space without harming you or anywhere
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: around you. Yes. Right, we're not sponsored by anything currently.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: That we're well, we're not even mentioning anything.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We're not mentioning anything, but like as of now, we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: did mention the product in the last one that was
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: sponsored by them products placements.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's true. I've noticed a lot of these shows have
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: more You know, when you get older and you watch
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: something you watch as a kid and suddenly you're like,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, just product placement everywhere, right, you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Know what I've discovered. I know we're not talking about it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: All the K dramas have very specific brands, and I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: think it's hilarious. But anyway, there's some surprising product placements
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on these Yep, they're not necessarily sponsoring us.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm getting more and more outraged by this.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But yes, we are back, and we are in season two.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: We are at episode thirteen. If you are coming along
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in this, we are beyond the halfway point, so we're checking.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I guess at this point pretty well. Can you give
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: us a review of the past episodes?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Uh? Well, the season started with Carrie trying to recover
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: from breaking up with Big, and in our last episode,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: here we are again, she has broken up with him.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: He may or may not be moving to Paris. She
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: decided the relationship wasn't good for her and she was
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: staying in it because she like paying. I guess we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Miranda has broken up with Steve, so she's gone on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: some interesting dates since then that involved kind of an
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: exhibitionist in will Arnett. We've got Charlotte still looking for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the one and really not striking out in that regard.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And then we've got Samantha who's still kind of, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: living her best New York life and having wonky storylines.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Sanky storyline.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I like the word wonky.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It's a good one. It's okay, very nice, very nice. Now,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: this episode's title is called games people Play? Can you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: give us what you think is happening in this episode?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Games people Play?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: This is so funny because we were just talking about
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: how bad I am at this and the first episode
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of season two was take Me Out to the Ballgame,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and that turned out to be some kind of fun
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: about balls that I wasn't anticipating. But it's the same situation, right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Carrie's trying to get back into the game, the dating game. Yes,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and I would guess, And once again I'm sticking with
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: my vague, vague estimation of what might happen. They're going
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to thank you, That's about where I am. They're gonna
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: go to a club club scene, and there are gonna
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: be a lot of conversations about like how the power
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: plays and relationships and the games people play in relationships.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And probably because I should learn my lesson from that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: episode taking out the ball game. There's probably some other Oh,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there's probably some pun that or something that's real on
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the nose that I'm not.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Guessing that's it, and good guess, let's go ahead and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: jump into it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Big I really do, because if
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you think about it, that was the best thing that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ever happened, actually the best, the best, and also the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: conversation I've heard these two like, I feel sorry for him.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I will say one of the big records I had,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I was obsessed and I could not stop analyzing the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what went wrong with the relationship. She's doing something different,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: she's justifying it and like talking about how amazing she
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: is compared to him, right, And I'm glad, But my
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: response was what was wrong? And I would like analyze
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: every I'm actually surprised my friends didn't tell me to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: shut up.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's funny as the friend though, a lot of times
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you're like, um, hmmm, you say.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: It right, You're so right. It was it was him
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: all along.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And in the back of your head you're like, oh,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they're gonna get back.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: To Yeah, I can't say anything too much?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: What all right?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Who's gonna tell her? What I mean?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You're obsessed with talking about big and frankly, we can't
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: take it anymore out of our lead. What is this
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: an intervention?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: There we go stop her before she obsesses again. Isn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: part of the whole breaking up process.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That you get free reign to whine to your friends?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Of course you do, but maybe you should think about
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: whining to wish rink.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Why should I pay someone when we can talk for
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: free and then go get a drink? It is true.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: That is one of the best parts of breakup is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you kind of have this period where you're like, ye.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Bring me the ice cream, come from me. But then
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: like she was non stop the point that you're like, okay,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: at this point, you do have a time limit, right,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And also this is round two, right, and they told
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you not to get back together with them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. It is strange when you break up with
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: somebody who was a big part of your life. Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And even if you don't want to think about it,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, they're out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: There living their life and may probably okay, already dating someone.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Oh man, the level of stockery would like me going
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: through their Instagram to see who are they hanging out with? Now?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Who is that girl, I.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Will kill you, but you can't watch their stories because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they they know. And then the accidental light, the accidental
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: panic to me too Soon Landa found herself with a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: nightly playmate.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: This would creep me out? Or would you not immediately
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: close the shades when you're if you see someone looking into.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Your apartment man immediately staring in, Yeah, and doesn't like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: look away when you clearly make eye contact and kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of flee.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I understand why you see a shrink, you know, because
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you're always.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: In your head.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: But I'm fine, I am functioning. Besides, I don't really
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to be honest, I just don't buy the whole shrink thing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There was an interesting thing I've noticed in the nineties
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: where there was a lot of like bad talk about therapy. Yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and and lawyers. Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: This is definitely one of those moments of like mental
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: health was not looked right on in a well manner way.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It was looked down on it, yes, and made fun of. Yes,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: but it's very ablest obviously right. You were playing games,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: so he was.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I was just along for the ride, and what about
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you see I do this is the first experience dating.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I also felt that way though, It's like I didn't
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: know what well, yeah, the signals were what was happening?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden we're having a huge fight, like,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I didn't know you wanted me to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: be jealous, right, which is odd? Yeah, maybe I've dated
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: men who were wrong for me, but who hasn't.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: But the thing that I have in common it is you.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: The slow speak. Such a stereotypical idea of a therapist.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I know, I do feel like and I would love
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: if anybody who is a therapist shot in. I do
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: feel like a lot of their depictions and shows like this,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I like, yeah irritating.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, slim pickens out there. You can't swing up Fendy
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: purse without knocking over five little Findy purse. Great God,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: oh I would be so out of my league. I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: have no idea what's going on that conversation. There are
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: moments where we've talked. I've had a group of friends
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: we talked about relationships, and I was like, this does
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: feel like sex and the City, but not as funny.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: That's true. Sports name every female sports sports sign so
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: as captive heterosexual man, I would walk I would walk
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: out immediately. I'm like this is a rapey situation. I'm leaving. Yes, sorry,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: gay women exist. Yeah yeah, and.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Also yeah, they had a real frat rovide, not a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: way that I've found a feeling.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Look, this is where I would never want to go,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: especially if they're screaming at the TV. You already know
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: this is I don't want to see this.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I and this is also because I'm not super into sports,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't want to meet a guy at a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: sports borg. Yeah, I if it happened naturally, okay, but
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: if I like, I'm not going to the.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Sports bar, definitely not a thing. What what's a sports bar?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Like I found? I'm trying to think specifically of the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: bars that I've gone to. I know like that we
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: have places where they'll do uh screenings of specific games
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: because it's important, so World Cup stuff, super Bowl stuff,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: every now and again. They'll be like it's the home team,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna play it, blah blah blah. But they're
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: not considered sports bars. So I don't know if I
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: know of because like even not sponsored Taco Mac, is
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that considered a sports bar.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I would say that's a sports bar, which to embarrass myself,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that's where I went for my twenty first birthday because
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: they had the beer passport thing.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you also have a very interesting generic bar like
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Apple's Kroger bar. Like, I don't understand a literal grocery
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: store that has a bar in it for your birthday.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what is this birthday?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I get you again? All the no sponsors, No, please,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we don't want to be a sponsor.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That's it. Go So say I met a man at
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a sports bar.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, and now she's into sports?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Who is Marcus? Marcus can be next forward? Now that
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: youwing has been injured, he really needs to pull it out.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And when did we start caring about basketball? Don is obsessed.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I don't get laid unless the next win.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And can I just we've talked about this too. I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: have a friend who I'm like, Oh, I can tell.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You're dating some news. Yeah, because you likes have changed,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you have made, you picked up some new hobbies that
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you've never cared about before.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And you if you break up, you won't care about
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: them anymore. Again.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so she only is laid when his team wins. No,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: have sex?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Go, that's okay, that's the thing that was on the nose. Sorry,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm getting baity.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I am all over town.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: People were getting lucky.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Seth and I were having a great first date at
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: coffee shop. Oh oh, and what about the plant.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It would be so strange to date somebody doctor who's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: going to your therapist.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It would be I have two friends who go to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the same therapist, and they talk about her, but not
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to this level. It's more of like how amazing she
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is and how they called each other out. But like
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I've always thought, that's kind of odd. Yeah, I mean
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like you could do it. Yeah, with friends,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and if you really like that therapist, that makes sense
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you recommend them, right, Technically, you and I we did
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the same therapist about that. Yeah, but we never talked
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: about her other than us saying, man, she has a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: handful with the both of us. I am. Later that week,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Miranda went shopping for dinner.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Oh is it happening?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: This is happening. My cringe part, the embarrassment, my face
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: is it already turning? Run? Oh my, I can't imagine
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: what it is. Oh my God, always fast forward through
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: this here, I'm happy to be here for you. Into
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a game of hide and seek.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They're having an actual game. I knew it was going
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to be on the nose. Yeah, there's several games though,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: mm hm, well there's always you got to pick out
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the four. Yeah, there's usually one for each characters.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Sure, it's true, at least at least four characters. Whether
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: it's the same thing. I thought i'd be an adult here,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: come over and introduce myself. Ah, I'm Miranda. Oh you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: know the cringe. Oh my gosh, across the airship.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, you're the girl who lives above the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: guy I've been cruising.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Had to realize she was still playing with an imaginary
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: friend imaginary when she was five. Run Away d groceries,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: run Away moved out. How embarrassing would that be because
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it happened for like days?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeap, Oh that's pretty bad.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Oh that's my work.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: That's like when you accidentally wave at somebody because you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: think they're waving it, but they're waving the first behind you,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like times more.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Because she showed a moment and watched it undress.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We have all the classics here, clue or cheesy and twister,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: literal game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I knew it. I didn't know how to put it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't know how it would manifest, but I knew
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it you were saying. It was like, no, it's board
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: games started. I haven't learned my lesson. It's a long
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: time since I play twister. I feel like I would
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: break something.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I still love twister.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I did not because it was tiresome, Like I would
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: just pretend like I would fall, because I didn't want
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to be touching people. I'm like, I'm done. Also, how
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: do you play with two people? It's like super difficult,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a big trope too, of like turning
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a game into something sexual like a poker.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the sexualizing all the things.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I had a friend of mine who was playing Monopoly.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Oh no, she said she would. She was playing with
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: her husband. She told I think, I don't know if
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they're playing with friends though, in which she's like, I'll
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: give you a blow show. I feels sel made this property.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: We were like, that is unnecessary, Harry, she committed, that's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: one way because bargain. All right, Yeah, that definitely the nose.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: There are several Pickaboo Hide and Seek.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Board game sports. Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: In the description for this episode, it says Charlotte Jayin's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a bridge club. I don't remember any of that. Was
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: that a thing. I don't she said it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I was like, because I was looking at the description before,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, what, I don't remember this. I remember
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Sam dating a dude who was really into sports, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: did not remember that. So maybe Charlotte did. Maybe she
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: mentioned it. Maybe maybe we were talking too much. I
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: missed that part, but there you go. Yes, definitely gains
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: people play. So you did get that part. Yeah, it's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: very literal.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm working, like I'm trying to work
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: up here, like high functions, and I really like.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Seeing too many meanings in here, and I really want
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to be like, this is sex on the city. They
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: love puns as much as you do low brow here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe the next one is the one.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it halfway through again. Remember Carrie loves puns,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: that's her whole thing. Okay, so sick to that alright,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and also rom com sick.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I always always remember the Miranda scene and being so
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: embarrassed by that whole situation that I'm like, nope, this
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: is the this is the one that I cringe the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: most on.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I mean that it was pretty brute.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially his dismissal because you can't imagine what he
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: saw right when she did that, like because he didn't
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: like he can't tell her to stop because it looks
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: like he's telling that dude to stop.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Like hmmmm mmm hmm. And she's probably some funny story
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that they're like telling, Oh no, poor Miranda, I know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do? What do you move?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You move immediately? But she bought that apartment, so oh
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, I think it's kind of funny. Again, this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: is one of those outdated like therapy is not bad.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: This was definitely a trope.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: The entire thing of the whole, like having a therapist,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to have a therapist, to have a therapist being trendy
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: as well, and did kind of like, oh yeah, hopefully
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: they get out of that. Does she ever go to
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: therapy again? I don't think so.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: That was it. I'm trying to think of any of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the seasons as she should have.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Well, it feels like it. It kind of fluctuates things
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: like this between Like I said, in the nineties, early
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: two thousands, it was very you know, make jokes about
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: therapists and people who go to therapy, and then it
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: kind of became like, well rich people. Of course, I've
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: got my like three therapists and they're on speed dial,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: like that kind of trope as well, So I don't know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And then you had the whole did you ever see
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: What About Bob?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm? Classic?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: What About Bob is essentially this dude who has severe hypochondria,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: all the things, again very able, it's very problematic. But
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the therapist, who is played by Richard Dreyfuss, his whole
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: thing is being famous because he writes a book. And
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: then that trope was huge about only the therapists. The
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: best therapist writes books and like acclaimed because they write
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: articles and this is their whole thing. And if you're
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: really good at therapy, you done this huge like breakthrough
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: types and styles type of trope, which I'm like, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: don't know if I can name a one. No, I can.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I can name some books that were written kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: by people in that space, right, I think.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: We talk about specific therapists then like we're like, oh,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: like just talking about religious trauma. We now know that
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: that was coined by a therapist, so we're like, yeah,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that's cool, But like, I don't think that's the entirety
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: of the industry. I would guess, tell me if I'm wrong, y'all, you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Just need to be published.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought there's very specific tropes about that
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that's like that doesn't make sense in reality.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And then there's also like the trope of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the therapist who really needs a therapist but doesn't have one.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, and then it gets darks where the therapist always
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: has a relationship with the hot person.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fan fiction thing, I.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Mean, everything's action thing.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, We've thought of so many like therapist tropes we have.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I there's a lot. I recently, as you know, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: went on to kind of a creature feature a disaster
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: movie weekend or watched a lot of like nineties two
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: thousands movies, and I noticed this very thing where they
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: were kind of very dismissive. I would say that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I think again, growing up in my household, it wasn't
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: until I left my home so during this time that
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I went to therapy, and that I had to explain
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to my parents why I was going to therapy, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they're like, huh okay, And they didn't tell to get
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it until like people like that, other people that are
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: close to it went to therapy and they're like, Okay,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: maybe this is this isn't necessary right, right, So like
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of stuff that like yeah, it
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: takes a minute to understand what kind of therapy instead
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of just like because this also goes into that not
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: that this is wrong, you should definitely if you're bothered,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: but like the typical breakup, it doesn't like it's a
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: big deal, but at the same time, it's treated very flightily.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Like it's kind of a lesser.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is a joke. I'm like, oh, I
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: could have problem, you know that type of like trope
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: where they use it that way, which if that's how
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you can need it, you need therapy that way, then cool.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Then understanding like trauma and like the level of like
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: therapy for that is a little different and requires something.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Differently, right And and yeah, I mean breakups can be
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: very traumatic, especially if you've been with somebody a long
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: time and they've been a big part of your life.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And I think that is one of the I think
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that's one of the issues that a lot of people,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and I would say a lot of women have around it,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: is that you know, you feel like you're it's not
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: big enough. There's no reason you should go because it's
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: just almost like you're embarrassed by it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Right, But I mean this also, this episode also brought
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: out like how privileged it is. Yes, yeah, like that,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: there's a level of you're like, okay, yeah, it would
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: be nice to have this. This is this type of
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: perspective that you could pay for.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're good now they're bad there, but it's out there,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we know. Yeah. Oh wow, all right, I wasn't expecting that.
• 23:34
