Summary

In this episode, I am joined by writer and pop culture columnist Sophie Ross. I found that Sophie was not so happy about the rules on Twitter, so we discussed them at length. We talk about why sex on the first date is not the move, the backlash she has dealt with from her candidness on Twitter, her current relationship and why it’s different from her past ones, why she hates call her daddy, if they really would if they wanted to, and more! This episode starts with a solo where I discuss my bachelorette party, how easy it is to find support if you want to be sober, the 90/10 rule in relationships, and if my wedding is sponsored in any way.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.4	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met at Acme. I am so excited for today's episode. It is with Sophie
0:13.1	Ross. If you don't know who Sophie was, I bet you do. If you remember the Ariel Charnis COVID
0:20.8	scandal, Sophie was the whistleblower. She has been behind a few other scandals too. I think the
0:27.8	Hilaria Baldwin won and she is best known for her just like ruthlessness when it comes to calling
0:35.4	people out on their shit. I do explain it in the episode, but I don't want to say I was a victim
0:41.6	of this because like I hate victimizing ourselves. Like I wasn't a victim. I go out there and I put my
0:49.6	rules out for the world to digest and not everyone is going to digest them positively. So Sophie
0:57.6	had sent a bunch of tweets, which we did read on the episode, but some of them we didn't read.
1:04.2	And we're not as PC. So I will read them to you. She had said, love setting arbitrary rules for
1:11.6	women while acting like men can do whatever they want, whatever the fuck they want all the time.
1:17.7	And then she had said literally as she listed the rules, the no sex on the first day,
1:24.1	that don't send a thank you to actually said literally all of those all of these I disagree with
1:29.0	stop pretending men make all the rules, girlies. Stop listening to these dummies, which is pretty
1:36.9	pretty rough. And then she said that and then someone said we met at Acme question mark and she
1:42.0	said that was actually the pod that inspired this tweet. People already know how I feel about
1:46.1	call her daddy, but Jesus fucking Christ. We met at Acme is just as asked backwards in every way.
1:52.0	So I just wanted to read you that part because we didn't read all of it. We kind of only read like
1:58.3	the PC part on the podcast and like I'm a human being. So obviously that of course hurts my feelings
2:06.0	and like, you know, Sophie even said in the episode, which you'll hear that how someone reacts to
2:11.4	usually has nothing to do with you, which was a very, very good quote that she shared. So
2:16.5	that's how I feel about that, but we did get into it. We did kind of agree to disagree at the end of it
