How does Shan Boodram describe her “Dr. Ruth meets Rihanna” persona?
How are you?
I
am doing. Look at these.
Oh, thank you. I made
a very. Fucking Christ.
I'm very grateful that you are affirming these because I was deciding between bare leg or boot. And it feels like boot was the choice for you.
But there's something about a boot that's a little more, I mean, most boots are not like fit over you like a skin. That is true. I mean, that's a different kind of boot.
Yeah, these are stand-up boots. They're not walk-around boots.
Right.
Yeah, we're not going for a walk around your property after this. This is as far as we're going to go. But in the meantime, it's very nice.
But I can certainly, I know your background a little bit. I think I can say this to you.
But
I'm also
Canadian, and Canadians are very strict about shoes in the house.
I just had William Shatner here.
You know, if
we can
just act as if that happened, it was the most phenomenal date I've ever seen in my life.
Me and him?
Yes. You were mirroring each other, your body language. You were affirming each other. You nagged each other. It was like
such
magic to watch, I thought
to myself. Oh, thank
you.
If you were sexually attracted to him, would that not be your ideal long-term partner?
That's a lot to bite off there, Shan. No, I mean, I can't even imagine William Shatner in that role in my life. But men can... love each other for sure. And it's funny the way, you know, he and I, it's interesting, you know, you circle someone for years, decades, sort of know them. You know, I always say in Hollywood, people ask, they think you're, you know, friends with everybody in show business. I'm always like, well, there's friends and there's friendly.
Yes.
A friend is someone who I purposely make plans with. I have their phone number. I can confide in. And then there's friendly. We have been friendly and now we're friends.
You sat on his lap out the gate. So that just sent a very different message. Maybe the tone that you set, but it was just like
a very... Well, I knew he didn't want to get up. So I'm trying to be, I'm always trying to be a good host. You know, I mean, I have many flaws. I can't accuse me of ever being like great at commitment or anything like that. But I think I'm a good friend and a good host. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
But I think he was so curious, and you were curious in return.
You
learned from each other. You had disagreements, but they were civil.
I feel like in the end,
it was just a very beautiful
date. Because it's, you know, and we talked about age in there. And there is something about being older enough to, like, have confidence in so many things that you don't when you're young. Like, I'm just going to be honest with this person. I'm going to trust. It's not going to be offensive to them. In fact— They're actually going to be complimented. You
called him beefy in the first few minutes. That was a bold move.
Beefy is not.
That's an egg.
Well, I feel like when you're 90, it's good to be beefy.
I think so, too.
You know, what you don't want to be is skeletal.
He looked buttery to me. That's when I saw him and I mentioned that. What's that? The lighting is very flattering in here. And I was like, he looks very buttery.
What is buttery?
You know, smooth, kind of like, you know, gelato when you go and you see them and they're scooping it. For 90? He looked, yeah.
He looked scoopable. This guy must, like, sleep in Sephora.
He
does look phenomenal.
We got to go to Target together.
We got a man crush on him. I loved it. And it was fascinating too to me because when you're a sexologist, when you study sex, you have to do something every few years called a SAR, which is sexual attitude reassessment. And it's three intensive days where essentially you watch various kinds of porn, for lack of a better term. You watch all these different erotic materials so that your sensitivity is is increased so that if you tell me that you like your dick stomped on with high heels and that's what you like about these boots.
I don't.
Well, if you did, I wouldn't have a reverse reaction. I'd be
like,
okay.
I'd have a reverse reaction. Like, wow, that hurts my dick.
