Hello,

Hello, I'm Alston Raskin.

I'm a writer, relationship coach, and I think I'm going to have to cut my nails because I'm having a baby.

Hey, I'm Gabe Dunn. I'm a writer, bicon, bisexual icon, wink, and I love metal straws.

You do? Yeah, I'm thriving right now. You know, sometimes you have to remember that you have free will and that there's like, do you ever have this?

There's like things in your house that you just look at so often and you can't use them for their original purpose.

So you just like forget about them when they could they could be used for a totally different purpose.

I don't have that.

No.

What do you talk? Like give me some examples., I bought all these metal straws, not all. I brought five metal straws for when I had top surgery to use them, like, in the house. And then I just, once top surgery was done, I just stopped using them, even though they are useful for other things. And then... What other things other than drinking? No, they're useful for drinking, but I just never, like, I wasn't bringing them to the, to the coffee shop. I wasn't, like, using them, which is, like, I could have just used them this whole time. But instead, because it wasn't for top surgery, my brain didn't

let me continue to use it. Oh, I thought you were saying that they, that using it for a different

use than their original use, like you were using it to like cook or something. But you're still

using it for the original use. You just, outside of the parameters of when you thought you'd need

them. Yes, that's hard for me.

Isn't that weird?

Sure.

Why do you have to cut your nails?

Well, because I don't, you know, I, one, changing poopy diapers.

Oh.

Having long nails feels like I'm asking.

For trouble. For trouble. Yeah. And then two, you know, I don't know how quickly I'm asking for trouble.

For trouble.
