What misconceptions do men have about periods?
Like there's a video, I don't remember who I heard this from actually or if it was like a viral thing, but it was like what's the funniest misconception your boyfriend has about periods? And there was one person that said their boyfriend thought you just put the tampon in and then you take it out. Like you just put it, you just dip it in, it gets the stuff.
Well it's like testing the pH of a pool.
Exactly.
Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show, starring me, your fave, everybody knows me, who cares about me. On to the guests, but before we get there, we are in unfamiliar surroundings. Team, we're in New York, and today we have a New York legend, a hilarious and ridiculously talented Mary Beth Barone. Woo! Woo! I can't believe I'm here. Oh my gosh. Same. This is so exciting. Our first time here together. And is this your first recording in New York or you've done them? I've done them before, but at different studios. So this is our first time in this studio. In this studio. Spotify HQ. Yes. The view outside is crazy. It is. It's ridiculous. I can't. Yeah. It's just good to be at the World Trade Center on election day.
I think so. Yeah. Hopefully it's a good sign.
How do the hosts feel about being in New York for the first time?
I think so too. I think we're, I don't want to say anything actually. Okay, same, same. But I will say, Mary Beth, I know you were late, but the only reason I'm bringing it up is because I'm always late. Okay, thank you so much for giving me that gift. Time zones are really hard. I'm not going to say who put this event on my calendar. I won't name names. It wasn't me, though. But time zones are tough. It's math and it's tech. It's big tech. It's big pharma. I feel like, yeah, just all is forgiven when it comes to time zones for me. But I just appreciate that you didn't lock me out of the building. That's big time. That's what big time wants you to be like. And they sort of run shit. Not enough people talk about big time.
Here we are at Spotify HQ. We're breaking the news live about big time, especially because I am notoriously and always late. So much so that my team lies to me about times all the time. Whoa. Yeah, it's really bad. So can I have like your average lateness? And then what do you think is like the grace period for people being late for things that you are organizing? I know. I'm like, anything past five, I'm like, wow. That's why I didn't care. When they told me, I was like, I don't care. I don't mind at all. I would say my buffer is like 20, 25 minutes, which is bad. I'm not proud of it. That's a West Coast lifestyle. Because in New York, yeah, if you're not early or late, that's it. But I really love being punctual.
So then to be an hour late for something I actually asked to do – is kind of insane. And that's just what you're going to get with me sometimes. But that's how bad you want to do it. Yeah.
What are the challenges of being late?
So excited you forgot. I was so excited. I thought I had five more hours to get ready. I could have 11 hours to get ready and also be like, I need like 30 more minutes. And that's my cross to bear. A lot of times I just blame it on being brown. Like, you know, I just think minority people time runs different. I've always joked, too. I'm like, well, you know, whatever time I tell you to show up or, like, I'll be there. Just add. Two hours added. Fashionably late. Because I'm most likely lying. You know that's called fashionably late. Fashionably late. So that's a thing. I mean, in America, I feel like there's so much emphasis on being on time. And then in other countries, like, I know there's, like, one country where the train just sort of arrives when it arrives.
And you're going to get where you're going at some point. Yeah. But people don't value being on time there. So it's like, it doesn't matter. And I think it's cool to dip into that every once in a while. But yeah, in New York, everyone's moving so fast. Like I walk really fast. I always want to get where I'm going and I just want things to be over. Right. So that's, and that's bad. That's no way to live. Yeah. Like I should enjoy something. Me, I'm living in the moment.
