Summary

There's "I didn't realize I was queer!" and then there's "An actual pastor's kid had to inform me that I was queer!" Comedian and podcast host Jolenta Greenberg (How to Be Fine) hilariously falls into the second category. Although Jolenta spent all of high school in blissful obliviousness, the evidence of her bisexuality had been piling up since childhood, notably with simultaneous crushes on LeVar Burton and a female side character on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. But despite frequently hooking up with her female friends and regularly attending a queer club, Jolenta genuinely believed that she was just a REALLY good ally! She and Nicole bond over being bi women in straight-facing marriages, and Jolenta discusses the "pang" she sometimes feels about not having put a label on her sexuality sooner. Also: what it's like to live by the teachings of different self-help books week after week, all for the purposes of your podcast!

0:00.0	Yo, we have a classy and delicious new sponsor, McAvoy Ranch.
0:14.2	Macavoy is female founded and female-led and has been family family owned for over three decades.
0:21.4	Not only that, they sustainably produce the world's best extra virgin olive oil at their Northern California ranch.
0:30.0	Yeah, I can personally attest to this.
0:32.5	I have been using this olive oil.
0:34.2	I've been using their cooking olive oil to cook with.
0:37.4	And I have been using their extra virgin olive oil for oil. I've been using their cooking olive oil to cook with, and I have been using
0:38.7	their extra virgin olive oil for my delicious asparagus recipe. And I am telling you the oil
0:46.0	that I use either makes or breaks that recipe, best asparagus I've ever made. Best,
0:51.9	so flavorful. I'm glad you mentioned that, Nicole, because contrary to
0:55.9	popular belief, extra virgin olive oil is great for cooking and can be easily incorporated into almost
1:01.8	any dish or cuisine, adding new flavors and healthy polyphenols and monosaturated fats. You know I
1:08.7	love both of those. The smoke point, I think this is such an
1:12.5	interesting fact, by the way. The smoke point of extra virgin olive oil averages 405 degrees Fahrenheit
1:19.0	and is high enough for most cooking methods. Furthermore, extra virgin olive oils have high
1:25.3	oxidative stability, meaning that they contain compounds that prevent the oil from deteriorating when exposed to heat during the cooking process.
1:35.4	So if you're looking to cook with a healthy oil and want the flavors of your food to shine through, Maccaboy Ranch's extra virgin cooking olive oil is the perfect choice.
1:47.7	Hell yeah, and if you are seeking rich, robust olive oil forward flavor,
1:53.9	their organic extra virgin olive oil or agramato method olive oils are the answer.
2:00.3	Truly, I have loved both of these olive oils. I'm
2:03.4	never going back. And that's a fact. Not only that, Maccaboy Ranch is offering a discount code just for
