The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavalery, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more.

And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing.

What's up, guys? How we doing today? Today is going to be very fun because I have a

sex and love coach here with me. I love his no-nonsense, non-judgmental approach. And let's be

honest, I always love having a guy's perspective on this.

So today I am sitting down with Sean Gallinoss.

Honestly. I've done something way more cringy.

What? I used to have the love drive painted on the back of my truck.

That's pretty aggressive. I want to start because you got your start. I think this is so fascinating because you started driving a taxi and recording the conversations that you had with people. Yeah. So tell me about that. I was driving a taxi in San Francisco in 2014, which is like, was fun. Driving a taxi is like kind of fun until it's not. I mean, it's a hard job. You know, it's like you're driving for 12 hours, but it was kind of like a video game. This was like pre-Uber.

So you're like flag, people are flagging you down and you're like chasing other taxis and trying to. Oh, right. So it was like for someone who likes driving, it was kind of fun. And then it just gets kind of hard and a friend said, oh, you should record your conversations with your passengers.

And I said, that sounds like a great idea. And so I bought- How can you do that without their consent,

though? What? And a friend said, oh, you should record your conversations with your passengers. And I said, that sounds like a great

idea. How can you do that without their consent, though? Why would you assume I would do that without their consent? So you asked, they would get in and you'd say, by the way, can I record this conversation? Yeah, yeah. So I tested out a bunch of different theories, but or ways of doing it. But I would go home, I'd get the cab at the cab yard and I'd go home and I'd set up lights, cameras, and microphones

in the cab gop cab yard, and I'd go home and

I'd set up lights, cameras, and microphones in the cab gopros and all that stuff. And then I would drive around and I would pick somebody up and they'd get in and say, hey, welcome to the Love Drive. Oh. And I'd hand them a stack of note cards that had questions on them. Like, what do you think about shaved testicles or do you like having sex on your period and then at the end i would have

them sign artist release. Got it. Yeah. Got it. So when they first would get in, though, were they like, what the hell is going on? Yeah. And sometimes people didn't notice or sometimes I wouldn't say anything and I'd just kind of let the cameras roll. Or sometimes I would say something ahead of time or I'd have them agree to it. There was just all these different strategies. Sometimes people didn't even notice the cameras. I believe it. There's a GoPro in like on the headrest. They're just like whatever. Oblivious. And so then I would ask them questions about kind of lowbrow stuff, you know, like, whatever.

Yeah. Fatal sex, period sex. A lot of sex stuff. Yeah, that's what I'm gathering. And then I would post those videos on YouTube. And that was the beginning of the love drive. I was driving around talking about love. That's amazing. Did you ever have anyone be like, I'm not doing this? Like 90% of people would not do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I found out that most professionals would absolutely not want to do it. So like lawyers, doctors, all that stuff. And service people and artists were all about it. They're like, this is cool. It's a fun project. And so those videos still live on, you know, if you go to, if you like Google, the love drive taxi videos, they'll come up. What was the best confession you ever got in a taxi? This woman came in. I didn't even say anything. She came in and she was super frustrated and she was like, I just got a TMI you right now, but I am so fucking frustrated. I've got blue balls. My boyfriend would not let me finish. And I'm looking in the camera like,

holy shit, what's going on? And then we just had this conversation about how she just needed to get on top for like two minutes. I love it. And he wouldn't, he wouldn't let her do it. Why wouldn't he let her get on top? I didn't, he wasn't there. I didn't ask, he was just, I don't know, selfish lover or something.

That is so fascinating to me.

Yeah.

Okay, what do you find is the biggest issue when it comes to finding love? just, I don't know, selfish lover or something? That is so fascinating to me. Yeah.
