EPISODE

Positive.

[theme track plays]


Drew:

Hi, I’m Drew.


Christina:

And That I’m Christina.


Drew:

And welcome to

Wait, So Is This A Night Out Together?


Christina:


Hold Off, So Is This A Romantic Date

is an Autostraddle podcast specialized in the main one, the sole concern that people actually should mention. I am not sure in which I’m going with this particular. It is more about matchmaking and it’s really about once you understand whether things are times or perhaps not, et cetera.


Drew:

A buddy of mine questioned me— actually i obtained a book past that has been like, “I don’t know when this thing I’m on is actually a date or perhaps not.” And that I ended up being like, “I have a podcast all about that.” And then he was actually like, “Yeah, i am aware. I know.” And I also was like, “you could potentially ask.” In which he was like, “And exposure getting rejected? Never.” And I moved, “Well, you ought to hear the podcast much more because we do cover this extremely thing.”


Christina:

And that is actually whatever you’re hoping to get to at the conclusion of the ding dang day.


Drew:

Yeah. My name is Drew Gregory. I am a writer for Autostraddle and a filmmaker and a queer trans woman and truthfully carrying over from a week ago, merely number 1 Paul Newman lover of-the-moment this is certainly— You are sure that, I love to switch the one thing I am merely definitely fixating on which is the matter that I— Now we’re on few days two.


Christina:

I love that. I Am Christina Tucker. I am also a writer at Autostraddle and a podcaster across the damn area. Town this way is the net. I’m also very homosexual and that I like to help your hyper fixations on circumstances.


Drew:

Thank you so much.


Christina:

I believe it really is amazing. I do believe it’s really gorgeous and I’m actually happy you’re nevertheless about this quest with your man, Paul. I believe which is beautiful.


Drew:

Many thanks a whole lot.

You have got a casino game personally?


Christina:

I really do have a game for your needs. We have a game available that i believe is really will be rather difficult, nevertheless can be fun.


Drew:

Great. Great, fantastic, fantastic. I love that. I really like it, I adore it.


Christina:

Today’s game is actually: Is this a Hayley Kiyoko lyric or perhaps is it a line from Rupi Kaur’s poetry?


Drew:

Wow. Okay.


Christina:

And is probably going to be tough, but we’re going to have a good time. We’re not right here for some time, we’re here for a great time. This is the motto.


Drew:

Wow. You’re truly wading into two discourses. I mean, there is not truly a lot of Hayley Kiyoko discussion, truly.


Christina:

Yeah. And that I thought I’d go back with time to, I am not sure, 2014 when we had been having Rupi Kaur discourse. I don’t know that we tend to be any longer, but—


Drew:

No, which is an extremely good point. Yeah.


Christina:

Have you thought to generate bull crap when you are able make bull crap?


Drew:

Yes. Yeah, let’s do so.


Christina:

Are you ready?


Drew:

Yeah.


Christina:

“The truth is you will be making my personal language very weak it forgets just what vocabulary to dicuss in.” Or, “hear your voice. Have you been indeed there? Through trees, fill air.”


Drew:

I believe the very first one is Rupi Kaur together with next a person is Hayley Kiyoko


Christina:

And you’re appropriate. Gorgeous work.


Drew:

Great. Okay. This could be embarrassing because I am not browsing say I was a large Hayley Kiyoko fan in 2018, but I did see their in concert and tune in to her a large amount so I think you can state I found myself about an admirer.


Christina:

I am similarly an admirer. And I would have respect for that. Though i did so, i believe, largely choose from the most recent record album. When You’re super acquainted that record album currently—


Drew:

I am not. I am not.


Christina:

Appropriate. Because we have been in a Paul Newman place. We now haven’t held it’s place in a listening to Hayley place.


Drew:

No. I mean—


Christina:

No, We hear you. We hear you. All right, number 2. “Shadows go up up the stairways,” the first range. And you’re second line, “Like the rainbow following the rain.”


Drew:

Oh, which is so difficult. Might think rainbow can be Hayley as a result of the fundamental queer. I will opt for that.


Christina:

Would certainly be wrong. “The rainbow following the water” is actually Rupi.


Drew:

Wow.


Christina:

Yes. Yes, undoubtedly. But yeah, I thought that may toss you for just one.


Drew:

Yeah.


Christina:

There is five of those. Thus I’m not gonna have you carry out a huge amount of these as this is actually frustrating. Number five.


Drew:

No, no, no. I am having a good time.


Christina:

Not number five. Number 3. I am not sure just how to count. I’m gay. “It is caught inside of my head, everything we has been.” Number 2. “We tend to our very own wounds with sophistication.”


Drew:

Oh see, this seems as well easy. I feel like I’m getting tricked. It feels like the first one is clearly Hayley in addition to next one is Rupi, nevertheless now i am want, am We obtaining tricked? I’ll change my personal instinct. Another you’re—


Christina:

You’re state the next one is Hayley?


Drew:

The 2nd one is Hayley. Yeah.


Christina:

Okay. You really need to trust the intuition, that will be a training for both guessing preciselywhat are lyrics versus poetry and internet dating additionally. That is a training into listeners in addition.


Drew:

Wow. Okay.


Christina:

Okay. Number 4. “and therefore we come to be endless,” or “coals like water wind healed your entire damaged parts.”


Drew:

Oh God. Those both actually might be both, that we learn could be the point of this online game, but it is nevertheless—


Christina:

It is great when you validate that I did a work in putting this deranged game collectively.


Drew:

I believe 1st one is Hayley together with next one is Rupi.


Christina:

You regrettably would be incorrect. “And so we become eternal” is Rupi and “cold such as the sea wind healed your entire broken parts” is definitely the main legend, Hayley Kiyoko.


Drew:

Wow. Okay.


Christina:

Fine. Our very own final any. Have you been emotionally ready?


Drew:

I believe so.


Christina:

Okay. “I’d burn both you and you still couldn’t take your eyes off me,” or “I’m done with fires in order to show that I’ve been cursed.”


Drew:

Wow. Okay. I do believe 1st you’re Hayley because that feels as though the woman for a gay.


Christina:

You may be wrong. This 1 is actually Rupi Kaur.


Drew:

What?


Christina:

Yeah.


Drew:

Wow. I absolutely believed great about that one.


Christina:

No, this 1 was actually astonishing and that I was delighted to just be like, oh, there is two fire people that I’m able to make, but I knew which was the most difficult one thus I performed save your self it for final.


Drew:

Something Rupi Kaur around? Is actually she just composing poetry?


Christina:

In my opinion she’s however writing books. I believe just what class of your game is actually, something may be a lyric and everything could be a Rupi Kaur poem.


Drew:

You can argue that words tend to be poetry.


Christina:

Wow. That’s in fact huge to give some thought to.


Drew:

Something i shall state about Hayley Kiyoko is i am thus happy with the girl that she didn’t stop trying matchmaking “straight ladies” and discovered somebody who she is now in a complete on union with who like— of all the, you’re interested in straight women, what are the results from that, she eventually pulled the Tig Notaro, Stephanie Allynne. She finally performed the only where the person wasn’t right. They were with it the long term or at least for a respectable amount of the time. And I’m only so happy on her behalf. It is not some thing i will suggest to people that happen to ben’t pop performers.


Christina:

Yeah. I might perhaps not date ex Bachelor contestants either. Appears tough. May seem like a tough highway.


Drew:

Yeah. Almost always there is one or two exactly who exit early. I am talking about I only seen two times, but i usually felt like there are two participants the place you’re similar to this individuals too cool with this or perhaps is just a new type of hot. Is actually a gay hot compared to a Bachelor hot. In addition they constantly got from the first event or the next episode and most likely for this reason, but I would personally date one of those.


Christina:

Yeah. I would personally date needless to say. Needless to say. Mainly, honestly, only to end up like, yeah, that’s anything I did. Just how fun is that to express aloud?


Drew:

It really is a really good point.

Really, that has been fun.


Christina:

I’m very delighted. I believe this then guest and subject matter will be a-blast also.


Drew:

I think thus too. Should the very special visitor introduce herself?


Yashwina:

Hi, I Am Yashwina. Proven to individuals who love me personally or dislike myself as Yash.


Christina:

I like the self-confidence of love myself or hate me personally.


Yashwina:

I enjoy offer individuals options. I am in addition an author and annoyance at Autostraddle.


Christina:

Yes. We love a nuisance per which in which we go. We help nuisancetry.


Yashwina:

I simply think that we will need to help gay wrongs and homosexual legal rights.


Drew:

And you’ve truly accompanied myself in providing some classic film electricity and fandom to Autostraddle. And it’s really actually powerful to not be alone.


Yashwina:

I like this for all of us.


Christina:

It is gorgeous observe all of you have actually these types of a huge amount of time in your own classic flick electricity.


Drew:

Really, I think we can easily get it done more. I do believe we could take it … I don’t know. I found myself seeing all those Paul Newman motion pictures and that I had been like, am I able to get a write-up from this? And that I was like, I don’t know basically could. It will be a stretch. However I Happened To Be like, well…


Christina:

That is your favorite form of extend though. Definitionally, your favorite style of extend is how to make this work?


Drew:

Positively. So we’ll see.


Yashwina:

The character is literally named Butch Cassidy.


Drew:

Ooh.


Christina:

Well. And claim that.


Drew:

Wow.


Christina:

Say that.


Yashwina:

I recently think lesbians should outfit like Paul Newman figures. Enough currently perform.


Drew:

I do agree.


Christina:

Yeah. I have to trust that certain.


Drew:

We’re not regrettably— Really, perhaps not sadly. We’re here to go over something that’s strongly related to the matchmaking podcast, etc, etc. So it’s not regrettable, but we have been right here to talk about the main topic of exposing lovers to buddies. What are the results whenever the friends hate the associates and even not partners, but some one we are taking place two times with, some one we are starting up with, a person that we’re delivering to their lives against their unique might, and what do they must say about that.


Christina:

Everyone loves that you made that sound like a hostage situation.


Drew:

Sometimes it is like it.


Christina:

Getting this person into your existence against the will and you may cope.


Drew:

I assume the initial concern that We have for all of us is in that powerful, are you currently normally the one providing the individual against everyone’ will or perhaps the person whose might is… this is exactly acquiring perplexing. Can you will time people who friends and family don’t like? Do your buddies often date those who you do not like?


Christina:

As a famous hater, i shall say it is that my pals date folks that I really don’t like. One of my personal biggest worries in life is the fact that i’d date some body that my pals didn’t like. Next to nothing would stress myself completely a lot more than that. Becoming want, “I’m not sure what I’m… Preciselywhat are we carrying out here? How is it browsing work?” That will actually send myself for a spiral. So I tend to merely conceal during my place and be similar, “Hmm. This is actually the individual you’re providing. Interesting.”


Drew:

We will believe predicated on once you understand you that that concern is certainly not the sole reasons why you’re not an important dater, but it is an integral part of the worries.


Christina:

Oh, definitely section of it. Definitely an integral part of it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. How about you two?


Yashwina:

I have been on every section of the equation, but i’ll declare that over the years my pals have said that my personal flavor is very hit-or-miss. Much more skip.


Christina:

Interesting. Interesting.


Yashwina:

Yeah. I am in times when my friends don’t like person I became dating, in which the individual I found myself internet dating failed to like my friends, immediately after which in which i’ve perhaps not enjoyed people that my friends happened to be internet dating both. Thus I have observed every setup.


Drew:

How can you feel about it? Can it be relationships or is it people you are casually seeing often?


Yashwina:

Its definitely been both, however it is interesting in times when I believe a whole lot from it is all about a hierarchy of allegiance or trust or loyalty in which it’s like, if I believe someone to get myself apart and be like, “Hey, this other individual that you know actually dealing with the way we need to see you end up being treated,” then there’s particular a pecking purchase in which its love, fine, this individual may be the one whose interpretation of occasions i must listen to more and maybe other individuals get used with more cereals of salt. But if, this kind of and this type of configuration, this person is actually advising myself simply because they love me and additionally they desire nutrients in my situation, that one thing isn’t really correct, then you’ve got to listen to it.


Drew:

Yeah. It is interesting because with perhaps not my personal present relationship, but my personal most serious union before that, when we began online dating, it had been mainly my personal spouse telling me personally that my pals sort of sucked. Plus some methods you’ll genuinely believe that was like, ah, that is not a signal if for example the partner’s wanting to switch you from everyone. Nevertheless was done in a method that was truly caring and my greatest closest friend — like it was not every one of them — so I think also assisted. And I also was still a college student and ended up being closeted so my friends had been either direct or also closeted. And a lot of my friends did suck and didn’t… rather than actually sucked. Because precisely what does that mean? But just didn’t treat me personally well. Therefore she had been right to make those feedback. However now, because personally i think much more steady in my relationships, if any individual I was internet dating had been to say, “friends and family suck,” i’d be like, ah, this is not a great sign. This is exactly a red banner. Which fortunately, i have not ever been in a relationship in which my buddies and my personal lover get along more than at this time and therefore I get in conjunction with my partner’s buddies many it is far better. Its a whole lot nicer.


Christina:

Carry on. Really.


Drew:

Plus the first couple of severe relationships I’d, it wasn’t that my pals did not like the individuals. They enjoyed all of them plenty. It is simply i did not even understand at the time, because i did not have almost anything to evaluate it to. Now I am like, oh, the people within my existence tend to be excited to see… its various. It seems different and it’s really good. That is certainly an extremely wonderful thing.


Christina:

Yeah. It really is cool.


Drew:

But also, I don’t know. I mean, i really do think individuals need to make errors. Not errors. Need to date the folks just who they can be online dating {a
