#026: Dallas McLaughlin - On Stand Up, Getting Unstuck, and Figuring It Out

I sat down to chat with my good friend, Taylor Henderson (@tay.renee.onstage), for the third time...and it's a fun one recorded late in the evening. We answer your questions from Instagram, including:

Would we date an alien?

What are our worst dating stories and craziest Vegas stories?

What are the riskiest places we've had sex?

Do we use sex toys?

What are we looking for in a guy...specifically...

And many more...

All under the influence of White Claws. Enjoy!

I'm back with the first solo podcast from Las Vegas! I talk to you guys about how things have been out here these last two months, the rough time I was having before moving, and then I get to your guys' questions:

• How is dating different in Vegas than in San Diego? Better or worse?
• What’s the most difficult thing about Instagram?
• Do you think people are more chronically single these days?
• I got broken up with and I can’t get any closure because she won’t talk to me. How do I get her to talk to me?
• You speak well on mic. How did you do that?
• How do you talk about deep subjects all the time? It makes me really uncomfortable.
• When should I compliment women?
• I have more female friends than guy friends and I’m starting to wonder if it’s keeping me single. What do you think?
• What’s one thing you’ve learned since you made your latest jump?

I sat down for one last San Diego podcast with the ladies, Michelle Harman (@mishka2386) and Jenna Lee Golden (@nature_jennaration).

Lil Driz and Lil Drip Drip, deep convos, being "in it", the Vegas move, personality tests, spreading yourself thin, returning to the core self, removing the filters, thoughts on trust, the word "trounced", Michelle's cat is a reincarnated Egyptian God, deep space, deep ocean, the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and a whole lot of strange word pronunciations that prove how ridiculous we are.

I sat down in Bellingham, Washington to talk with my friend, Alex Hallett (aka Bodi), to talk about some real life topics.

We talk race, Trump, validation, the importance of not taking things personally and asking why, tiptoeing around the male ego, being a bad feminist, race and gender perspective, the mindset of hope and possibility, the loss of potential, do we really care about each other online, toxic masculinity, learning to ask the right questions, white privilege, defense mechanisms, how it feels to be a woman in the dating scene and the instagram world, and love actually.
