Allison: My mom got you this gift
Gaby: What?
Allison: Yeah
Gaby: I figured maybe it was for me because of the cat...
Allison: Yeah, I got a gift too. Mine had a dog wrapping paper.
Gaby: Cause we're an odd couple...
I love Ruth. Can I just go on record and say, Ruth is the best.
Allison: Yah
Gaby: Let's see what it is.
Are they- did we get the same gift?
Allison: No.
Gaby: AWWWW!
Oh my god, they say
'Motherfucking Girl Power'.
Allison: Guess what mine said.
Gaby: What?
Allison: "Ringmaster of the Shit Show"
Both Laugh
Gaby: Well, we know what your mom thinks of us.
Allison Giggles
[the groovy music they always use for the show intro and outro]
Allison: We have to make an announcement.
Due to a variety of reasons-
^fairly long odd pause^
I was going to say beyond our control,
but we're in control.
We will now, only be posting on this channel,
once a week.
No!! Ahh!!! Eee! Ahh! (allisons impression of us)
Gaby Chuckles
I imagine that's everyone's reaction
We're still going to be doing the couch show,
we're still going to be doing sketches,
we're just going to alternate.
Gaby: Some of the reasons are:
1.) busy-ness with projects that you guys
will hear about, at some point.
2.) unfortunantly, a lot of our stuff is
getting demonetized. um. I don't know if
you guys have heard but LGBTQIA content
on Youtube is suffering a lot right now,
a lot of creators are getting their videos
demonetized which means ads aren't
running on them because they're deemed
inappropriate for advertisers. And so
Youtube, as a platform
doesn't make as much money
for us anymore uh-
Allison: That's not really why.
I mean, that's a good reason
to- good thing to talk about,
but that's not really why.
Gaby: To me it is.
But also they demonetize
mental health content.
and basically that's
the two things we
talk about on this channel. (not that we're complaing. amirite?)
Allison: And you know, we've been doing the
channel for years, we have a lot of other
interests and projects and we just- you know-
it's very time consuming and it's time to-
t-t-t
to stop.
Gaby: It's time to do- not stop!
Allison: It's time to cut it in half.
We had this much,
and now you're going to get this much.
Gaby: But not-!
And then maybe later, this much again,
maybe less. Maybe this,
maybe that-
Gaby:Also- (another attempt to talk but allison is being herself and is on a roll)
Allison: Maybe, a lil of this. (finishes her speech)
Gaby:
Allison:
Some weeks they'll be two videos..
Gaby: Yaa
Allison: ..but there's no longer going to be two
every week.
Gaby: Yeah.
Allison: Oh no! Ah! Oh boo! (her impresssion of us, again)
Gaby: And then immediately-
Allison:
Allison: Everyone just writes 'thank god!' (noo, we all love this show)
Both Laugh
Allison: I believe it's Mya, can't read my
own handwriting,
from Minneapolis, wants to know,
'can a mono/poly relationship work?'
where one person is polyamorous and the
other person isn't.
Gaby:Well it depends on if- if the mono person
is ok with the polyamorous person
seeing other people.
Um- and them being monogamous.
It also depends on if they are
curious about or want to try polyamory,
it also depends on if the polyamorous person
is willing to be monogamous for a while
for the not- for the monogamous person.
You just-you really have to communicate
the fuck out of it.
Allison: I think...no.
Gaby: I know you think no.
I also think you picked this question
to be rude to me
Allison: Well-look; very relevant,
Gaby:To who!?
Allison: You.
Gaby: Sure..
Allison:
Gaby:
Allison: Yeah, and it's got some real, like,
keywords. Hit words.
Gaby: You- you're just like- you're just trying-to like
to get that, like, scandalous..
Allison: We've answered every kind of question
there is at this point!
I saw something we hadn't talked about,
and I had to jump on it.
Gaby: You know, send us more questions about like,
Gaby: p-peeing on each other. Allison: taxes.
Gaby: Ok..
It's tough, because people aren't perfect
So you can say to yourself 'I'm only going
to meet other poly people' but you
might not, and you know what? Mahh
People are hypocrites... I'm a hypocrite...
People don't do what they say they're
going to do. That's life.
Everyone In The Room Laughs
Gaby: You know? Allen liked that!
Allison: That's our channel! 'That's life.'
Gaby: Well I'm not going to tell these people
that they have to be perfect,
nobody's perfect.
Allison: But I mean don't you think that that's
a valid, like relationships work or
don't work because you have different-you have different
desires and wants.
Gaby: I don't necessarily think that you are
with someone, forever. I think you're
with someone until it doesn't work
and then, that's it.
Allison:
You know when like there's a character
who like, like Spock, I mean, I don't know
that much about Spock but Spock
is missing like a crucial human element
and therefore can't relate to people
the fact that you have no jealously,
in romantic relationships sometimes makes
it hard for your to relate to other people.
You can't even FATHOM, what it is like to
feel jealous.
Gaby: Yeah.
Allison: Like, you're Spock.
Gaby: Thank you...?
Allison: You feel it a lot, in career stuff.
Gaby: Mhmm
like you're maybe too- I'd say you
describe yourself as being too jealous
Gaby Nods And Makes Humming Noises In Agreement
about career stuff, but it's interesting
that you don't have any, romantic jealously.
Gaby: My girlfriend just asked me if it's hard for me
to relate to plots of movies or music.
Allison: I bet it is!
Gaby: I was like, 'definitely,' I'd never thought
about it that way and I was like
'definitely, a lot of movies don't
make sense to me cause I-
Allison: You're operating on a different wavelength.
Gaby: I don't understand p- some of the motivation
in movies. But I guess jealously is like
people kill each other over that huh?
Allison: Yeah. Gaby: Weird.
Allison: I get it.
[the groovy music they always use for the show intro and outro]
Guy Offscreen(allen?): Also say that Alan
has been going on more dates so h-
Gaby: Nobody, is saying that!
Allison: Also Allen's been going on more dates so he's,
really busy.
