I've been trying to sort out a theory of, like, lesbian topping and bottoming. Do you know Bart's, like, the philosophy, he's like a writer philosopher. He has this theory where he talks about, like, if you're the wife and your husband goes to sea and you're like walking the widow's walk, like waiting for him to return, you were in this like position of waiting. So I was like, I feel like this translates to topping and bottoming in the

sense that like when you are bottom, it's like you have like subspace or like bottom drift or whatever

where you're like somewhere else, right, where you go through that sort of like moment of like

ecstasy or whatever. And like that's like going to see. And so the top is just waiting for you

to come back. Wow. What a crazy thing you just said.

That was really amazing.

Oh my God. Such a fun episode. You might have read her books listener. We have Carmen Maria Machado on the podcast today. She is an acclaimed author and she was a finalist for the National Book Award. I think that's just so, that is a level of accomplishment.

I don't even dare to dream of Alex.

I mean, that is just so spectacular.

And she was so funny and honestly,

maybe one of the most brilliant,

most insightful conversations I think we've had,

mostly driven by her.

Oh my God, and literally about topping and bottoming.

I mean, what more does a lesbian want, you little queer bottom?

If you want to fully understand yourself, you have to listen to this episode,

because you don't know who you are without it.

I'm probably currently in Europe, and please come see me.

I would love to see you.

Everything's selling pretty well, except London and Dublin for some reason.

I don't know why you guys want to hurt me like this, but, you know, if you need a discount code or something, if you're financially struggling, shoot me a DM.

That goes for any city, you guys. I tried. I do a ticket raffle if you didn't know about that. I'm always trying to help everyone come see my comedy. And get on my text alert so I can text you so that you know, and you can still ask me for a discount. Oh, yeah. I can't give it to everybody, you guys, but I always try.
