Why won't you date me?

Why won't you date me?

Why won't you date me?

Please, tell me why.

Oh, I won't do another episode of, oh, I won't you date me?

A podcast for me, Nicole Byer, tries to figure out how I'm still single.

Even though if you tell me to give up all my worldly possessions for you and move to Kansas, I would.

Okay, today, my guest, oh boy, I love them. I'm so excited.

You know them from RuPaul's Drag Race. Also, they have this incredible, I guess it's an EP or it's an album called Box Office that I truly, truly love from top to bottom.

It's Aja!

Buh-buh-buh!

Hi, what's up? How are you? How are we alive? I think that's the question now.

I mean, life has been so wild lately. It feels so weird to just be like, let's talk about relationships, like just truly up top.

But how have you been dealing with protests and Black Lives Matter truly getting a fucking front seat and pop culture?

So honestly, it's been such a double-edged sword because in one hand, it's like, oh my god, let's celebrate.

Let's, let's, you know, let's look at the positive side. But then like, you know, there's the backlash and the downside.

And like, you know, there's the people who, you know, we just look at them. We're like, are you really saying that? Are you really thinking that?

And, you know, for me, the worst part are the videos that resurface of like the violence. That's what I hate.

I hate that part. But everything else is just so empowering. And I think it's, it's come at such an important time because like honestly, people are so late to the party.

And by people, I mean people who are not in the Black community. Like it's just like, correct. It's like, thank you for showing up.

Yeah, it's like the party started, I don't know, eight hours ago. And you came in at the tail end and we're about to go to after hours.

And you haven't drank enough to be an after hours. And you're saying all sorts of shit that I'm like, I can't think about right now.
