Friday feels are great.
Great.
Great. It's summer. I feel like I'm just happy to be in this month.
I think New Yorkers had a tough winter. It was a lot. From the outside looking in as a Floridian. Yeah. Because I didn't notice in an annoying way. Like I was like, it's still cold up there. Like even today, it's like today is a lovely day. And but it's people I haven't seen people this shattered from a winter since covid.
It was a lot. And, you know, not to pat myself on the back, but I had a very shut-in winter.
Right. You had, like, the extreme version of it. Yes. Dog, twisters.
Didn't go anywhere. It was very, very—it was, like, shut-in. And, like, I live in the woods.

Chapter 2: How does surrogacy impact single fatherhood?
I'm okay. You're okay, right. You've done your time. It's kind of the same way I had to think of comedy. I New Yorked it. I learned how to be a comedian. Okay, can I take this and transfer it to a place where I can live a lifestyle that makes me more happy? Do I deserve that?
You've gotten your hands dirty.
Right. And I have the... the toolkit so to speak I hope but I can lose it I mean it's only been a year and I still was like like I could hear myself saying annoying things oh it's still cold up there wait till you've been there you need a jacket today wait till you've been there 20 years and you're you know driving your girlfriend to her colonoscopy That's right. Life.
If those who haven't listened to last week's episode, that is a preview. But if you haven't listened, go check it out. Great episode. If I do say so myself. I agree. Great one. Red flag or deal breaker. Fun. So everything's well. You're feeling good for the season. Do you have any summer plans? What does a mom do? What does a mom do? For the summer.
So no, I mean, it's your rich friend is going to Europe season right now. We are getting into rich friend in Europe season, rich friend with a hotel that you go look up and see how much it costs a night and you go, they're that rich? Yeah. That's the season we're in.
It's that season. Yeah, this isn't going to be my season, I think, for – this isn't going to be, like, my best summer ever in terms of, like, crazy wild plans. Like, a lot of – again, I said this in the last episode. A lot of my days are around, like, sameness.
Right. Well, also, do you think – when you have kids, do you have a moment where you're like, I guess we have, like, a – at a minimum, decade-long break from going to Europe. Do you ever think like that?
No, I'll be going to Europe before then.
No, but I do think I have like a... The kids are going to boarding school, thank you very much.

Chapter 3: What happened on Chelsea Handler's date with Bobby Flay?
a four-month-old like for me to have someone watch them i would need to teach them like the entire a four-year-old crazy routine a high school kid yes a four-month-old you need a nurse yeah i need someone who's like a real professional like they need a lot they need more constant intensive like care have you thought about what it would be like to be single with a one-year-old
Not yet because I don't have a one-year-old, but I have thought about what it would like to be a single mother with two babies now, and it's made me appreciate single mothers. I don't know how anyone would do it. It's crazy.
It's an impossible gig.
Yeah. It just seems like I don't know how I just like don't know how logistically you would do it. I guess if you had help like from your own from like family or paid or some like you would need to have help. It would just be so that's just it's just like the whole the whole day and the whole night.
And you're doing it on your own.
Yeah.
You know, there's a loneliness factor.
Definitely have a new appreciation for that. It must be very, very hard.
Yeah, I mean, you almost think that they should get some sort of medal of honor or stipend. Or money or whatever. Yeah, money. I get some medal. They're like, yeah, thanks for my medal.

Chapter 4: Is ordering room service without paying a red flag?
They do. But even them, they're like, I wouldn't leave two four-month-old babies with anyone who wasn't a professional. I just don't feel like... I wouldn't feel comfortable at this stage. Even in six months, I think I'd feel differently.
Totally.
They just need so much, and there's two of them, and it's quite overwhelming.
And only you could take care of them.
Maybe that's my own narcissistic feeling, but there's so many nuances of this one likes this to be fed this way, or she's not going to eat, or this one, you know.
And you're trying to get ahead for when you get home. If that one doesn't eat with whoever you hired, you have to deal with the consequences of that.
Yeah, it's kind of like a job that you could have a temp for and a job that you couldn't have a temp for. Like a job – if you were gone, you wouldn't be able to like – it's like you could take vacation and have someone else cover for you.
Right. Do you know what I mean? I get it. Someone could – i guess i did i was on maternity leave but but it's not the same right it's not the same people know they listen to the show i mean i am so curious of the parent thing i i mean just because i i think that's that's the fun of it yes no it's amazing it's like and i i actually like love it
But at the same time, it is like quite all consuming. Very few things where like you have to do them 24 seven.

Chapter 5: What does it mean when a boyfriend refuses to meet the parents?
It's very rare. But you would associate that with a mental problem.
Right. Well, I mean, it's almost like-
He just got so offended for this guy's dad, for this woman's dad. But I'm just saying, like, when you hear a man doing this, when you hear a woman who's like, I got a surrogate and I just want to have a kid.
Or I use a sperm donor.
Right, I use a sperm donor. I just want to have a kid. You go, good for her. That's got to be tough and a different decision and a different way to go about life. But you kind of understand it. You're like, mom wanted to mom. When you hear about a dad doing it, you go, what?
what's the deal with that guy yeah it feels a little weird i think especially because he has raised a gold medal figure skater i'm like right are you is this like a business decision like were you looking for like the i could almost say because she did say she stopped because of the pressure of skating yeah well i'm saying because she's so successful it almost makes me think like he was like i can't find a woman who's as good at figure skating as i would like my child to be maybe i need to like
Go out and find a power athlete and I can just buy the eggs and make one myself.
He found the egg of an ice skater.

Yeah. So that's to be something. Sure. Okay. So you want to read the article?
I'll give you the... Okay, I'll read the headline.
Okay. Chelsea Handler recalls going on bad date with Food Network's Bobby Flay.
Yes. So here's when I've been reading the article. Basically, she talks about how I think Kristen asked her about like a bad first date she went on.
Here's the quote. Do you have a bad celebrity date story that we don't know about?
Yes.
And Chelsea is like, that's what you do to get you behind the curtains on a podcast. You get done taping and then you go, OK, let's set up a clip. That's what it sounds like was done.
Whatever, it worked. So she asks Chelsea this story and Chelsea says that she talks about, she names names, which is very Chelsea. She met Bobby Flay, they met through mutual friends and flirted over the phone before meeting in person. For quote, a little bit. Yes. Yes. Then Chelsea goes to a hotel with three of her girlfriends and Bobby says, I know this hotel. Let me, I'm going to order.
I would love to like, I know the restaurant well. So he orders a room service for everyone to her room at this hotel where she's staying with three friends. After the food arrived, the bill was sent to Chelsea and he didn't pay for it. So basically he ordered the food to the room and, but didn't pay for it. And then Chelsea was surprised because she assumed he was treating her.
