Allison- Welcome to just between us.
Today we have a new opening segment called
"How sad are you today?"
Gabby- What's the scale?
A- one to ten
G- ok, I would say I'm a 5.
A- OH! G- 5 or 6?
A- What are you sad about?
G- Things that are not in my control.
A- Cool. I'd say I'm a 7 or 8
G- Wow! That's such an improvement
A- I know
G- Because you were at like a 12
A- I was, but later when I'm alone I'm sure
I'll shoot right back up
Theme song
A-
question, international question, international question
G- You don't have to do it anymore
Don't do it anymore if you don't want to do it
anymore.
A- this weeks question is from "Anonymous"
in the philippines. Cause it's a hot button
question.
G- Anonymous! Wow!
A- What do you do if your friend is exploiting you?
G- Woah! What's happening in Anonymous' life?
A- I think she/he means exploiting...
G- Taking advantage of you?
A- Yeah, like they only are friends with you when
they need somethin
G- Putting your face on t-shirts, selling it without giving
you a cut of the money.
A- Are you talking about Buzzfeed?!
G-
A- is a major corporation
G- and then...
A- that won't give you your facebook page back?
My question is, do you feel like I ever
exploit you?
G- Exploit is a harsh word. I think that you've
benefited by being accepted by the queer community
because of me.
A- Wow, I did not think that's what you were going to say.
G- but that's fine, that's great. You're a good straight ally.
and so you deserve it.
A- Wow, so you just go home and you think about
how I've exploited you for the queer community?
G- No! No, but I think that this channel benefits
from my queerness.
A- Which is fake.
kissed a girl in her life.
G- I've kissed YOU on this channel. But I think
that's good, because I think it's been a good portrayal
of a queer friend and a straight ally friend.
So I don't think it's exploiting.
A- I'm not like, trying to get into cool queer parties
G- You have asked "Why can't you come to gay camp"
A- Do you feel that you exploit me?
G- Yeah, for your organizational skills
A- I feel like
G- Oh, here we go. The grievances have begun
A- I want to give some things that I could
ask of you, and then 'would you do them for me
or not?'
G- mmm ok.
A- Ok. Drive me to the airport?
G- yeah
A- You've never offered
G- You never asked
A- Who have you driven to the airport?
G- Shianne, Eli, Garrett...
A- you have different rules for family and romantic
partners than friends.
G- I would argue that you are both.
You both are family and a romantic. It's a real
insest situation over here.
A- Wow, that was sweet.
Would you, help me move?
G- Yeah, you have no things
A- I know!
G- it's the problem. You don't own anything
What is it like, two boxes?!
We take two boxes in a car?
A- We'd have to individually wrap each animal
statue. Ok, what did you have questions that I
would do for you?
G-No, because I pretty much know that you would
both laugh
Hey, would you let me sleep here if i was
really sad? Done! Would you take over writing for
the channel when I'm really busy? Done!
You know what I mean? Like, what am I going to do?
A- But I think the difference is, is that it's
a two way street. Like we're both doing things
for each other. And if you have a friend....
G- And that's called...
Both- friendship!
A- If you have a friend that they're just
only using you, then you should block their number and
also trash their house.
I'm going to give like, more explosive advice.
G- I like it
A- We're in a good phase right now
G- Yeah, I would say so
A- I would say this is our best phase ever.
G- Yeah, we're in a real good phase
allison laughs
G- Why do you think that is?
Misery loves company?
A- I guess so. And we're both so sad that we really
need eachother.
G- Yeah, I think so
A- That would make since.
G- But that's nice. At least we have each other
A- Yeah, because like, you got brutally dumped,
G- mmmhmm
A- Even though we were in a bad place, I stepped in
took care of you.
G- Mmmhmm
A- We mended our friendship.
G-Yes
A- Then I got brutally dumped .
G- Yes.
A- And now you, stepping in
G- Right
A- Carrying for me. Almost seems suspicious,
like maybe you asked him to brutally dump me.
Just so that you could pay back the favor.
G- I'm not relating to Allison on a spiritual
level anymore. Do you think you could break up with her?
A- Well, I think it's just like, boundary thing.
When do you say no to people?
G- Always, you always say no. Say no
A- Unless they are nice to you. I don't know anything
I'm not a role model
G- This is just you screaming "I'm not a role model"
A- I'm not a role model
G- Like Britney Spears
A- I don't know how to maintain anything
G- Are you...
