Summary

In this episode, I am virtually joined by comedian (and opera singer!) Matteo Lane. We discuss the gay take on my rules (since you haven't heard about them enough), the difference between growing up and having to "come out" vs. growing up without that, the experience of being gay in the 90s and being gay today, why it's so important to be true to yourself, who should be paying on dates, why i'm jealous of grindr, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss getting your partner to go to therapy, body anxiety during summer, what annoys me about engagements, being single in your late 20s, taking meds for depression, my daily schedule/sleep, why butterflies are a red flag, and friends throwing adult tantrums.

0:06.4	Hey guys, welcome back to E-Metodacme.
0:09.0	And since I didn't say it on last week's episode, I just want to say happy pride.
0:14.2	June is Pride Month and there's so much behind the idea of having a month dedicated to gay pride.
0:23.5	And I'm so excited to have Matteo Lane on today. He is one of the most hilarious
0:28.9	comedians ever. I actually saw him at the Comedy Zeller a few weeks ago.
0:33.7	And I was like, oh my god, we haven't released this episode yet. We gotta get this episode out there.
0:38.3	He's so great. And also like, he taught me a lot in this episode. It's really hard to put
0:45.6	yourself in someone else's shoes. Like we think like gay pride, rainbows, parties, but it's so much
0:51.2	more than that. And I have no idea what it's like to grow up gay. And I'm sure a lot of people
0:57.6	listening right now don't either. And I'm sure a lot of people don't care, which is the most
1:03.5	upsetting part. It's like, you know, we often don't care about an experience that we didn't have.

1:14.2	going to come away thinking like, oh, I get it. I understand my gay friends a little bit more
1:20.1	today. My gay relatives, you know, whatever it is, because I definitely felt that way after
1:24.9	listening to this episode, just going to get into a few of your questions. And then we will
1:30.9	listen to Mateo. So the first one, somebody asked about getting your partner to go to therapy.
1:37.6	This is so funny. It comes up so often that we actually have a highlight on our Instagram
1:43.5	about ways to get your partner to go to therapy. One thing we said is like a type of flattery.
