So all this to say, if they had hooked up, I'd be like, that's crazy.

I'm not hanging out with anyone in the middle of the night.

I mean, yes, yes.

I mean, I think, you know, I think people are in your life for different reasons.

And if some people do take that place of like, I'm not dating anyone.

So this is like fun and we don't put anything on it.

But I'm talking like like real friendship, like.

You know, like the same thing as like a cousin or like a sibling, like real friendship, especially, I don't know, for me doing stand up.

I know more men than women and in the stand up world.

And that was something that I needed my partner to become comfortable with because, you know, I'm dedicated to him.

But it's like.

jealousy not saying that you're jealous or you're but like jealousy and insecurity you know you can't grow from that because you're always like questioning what are you doing where you and you can't grow and and so that's always a thing and so and I do feel like jealousy is like when people don't realize their power yet and so I wish especially now in this time as we're challenging like what gender means and then like

being fluid and and questioning stuff and like dare i say my me being friends with people i would it's sort of like the way people would consider themselves to be pansexual and so that's how i go about my friendships i'm like you're a good person well you're not i do think people are in your life for a reason it is a red flag as well if someone's like i'm friends with all my exes because i'm like it feels like you are waiting on something to happen

Yes.

I tell my kids, you're never losing, you're always learning.

And then my friends are like, shut the fuck up with the gentle parenting.

But then by 6 p.m., I'm like, drink water or you die.

It depends.

If you catch me at 11 a.m., it's a gentle parent.

I love that.
