Let me tell you, Nicole. So this was the first time that I actually got on a plane. Everything that I've done has been local, like California, Palm Springs, LA, a little outside of LA. This was the first time that I got on a plane. Now, I am obsessed with people who get taped to their seats you know i'm talking about it just happened it just happened listen i was like is he single

Starting point is 00:11:31 came back, took his shirt off. They helped him find another shirt screaming. Like he like touched some titties. He punched the male flight attendant. So they duct taped him, duct taped, duct taped this man to the seat. And that not the first one there was a woman in north

Starting point is 00:18:01 Mm-hmm. At least in LA, I feel like everyone's like that. Truly. And when I was in Cleveland, nobody gave a shit if you coughed at all you could probably like just melt and die and they'd be like oh i guess you got too hot have you gone to any clubs like like like bars or anything yeah so i went to precinct i love precinct i like precinct like uh i had never been which is like wild for me but um i went because my friend meatball was hosting a party i think it was like bear bear or something like it was a bear party it was fun until this man was screaming in my face and i was like you are covid

I feel like when you're attracted to people that you're like, oh, fuck, this is not good again. Yeah. I feel like it stems from like shit you saw in your childhood that you were like, oh, I've been told this was normal. So then you become an adult you're like that's not normal but you keep falling into the same patterns because it's like my parents didn't heal themselves from their trauma from their parents right right right now i have to like break the cycle that's like that's a lot of pressure oh yeah i i i have like daddy issues where i'm like, I'm seeking validation from men who don't seem to be interested or like me,

Starting point is 00:36:40 I was like far enough away from the audience that like, I felt okay. Except in Portland, there was this one man who kept his mask off the whole time, but he didn't laugh. So I was like, I'm safe. I know. I mean, that's something that I didn't even think about was like everyone was unmasked and they're just like, ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, they're pushing their airborne particles at you while your mouth is open telling them something fun.
