A: Do you want some gum?
G: I'd love some gum
A: Here you go
G: Oh wow, a whole pack?
A: Yeah, if you run out G: Oh wait... why.. NO, what's happening?
A: Here's a little bit more. G: Okay, why.. nope, why?
A: I DON'T KNOW GABY! WHY did Juicy Fruit send me all of this gum?
A: They clearly wanted me to promote their gum, but what they've done is now just given me too much gum!
A: I was not given any money, I was just given an abnormally large amount of gum.
G: This is psychotic!
A: Also, I would argue, Juicy Fruit... not really a gum!
G: What is it?
A: I think that it's an inedible candy.
G: If Juicy Fruits plan was to get YouTubers to promote Juicy Fruit
G: By sending the most insane package you've ever received in the mail..You Win!
G: You did it. Yeah, you did it. A: Job well done, Juicy Fruit.
A: I admit defeat.
~Intro Music~
A: (Singing Begrudgingly) This week we have an international question!
G: Oh that's it?
A: Czech Republic.
G: OK
A: That was a mashup
G: Of what?
A: Of the regular song, mashed with a shorter song.
A: Anyway, Carolina/Caroline.
A: She gave two names. I think her Czech name, her American name..
G: Oh I see, because she's from the Czech Republic.
A: Yes.
A: (In a singsong voice) Been There! Loved it!
A: Carolina wants to know, "How do I express my feelings to the person I'm dating?"
A: How do you NOT express your feelings at all times?
G: (Incredulously) At ALL times?
A: Yeah
G: Are you ever not expressing feelings? A: No
G: Wake up in the morning, ready to express a feeling
A: I don't WANT to be expressing my feelings
A: Like I'll lie there and I'll think, "Don't say anything Allison"
A: "Just keep it to yourself, keep it inside"
A: 10 minutes later, I'm talking about crazy stuff about some girl he dated three years ago
G: Oooh
A: I would LOVE to not be able to express my feelings
A: Are you kidding me? Those people that look happy but aren't...
A: What's their secret G: (Chuckles)
G: I'm actually in a place in my life right now where I would also love to not express feelings
A: Like.. Imagine like, you're mad at someone and then they can't tell
A: THAT'S SO POWERFUL!
G: Okay so I imagine you're probably trying to express NEGATIVE feelings
G:Like you're trying to have a conv.. A: I think she meant POSITIVE feelings
G: No, you're trying to have conversations... A: YOU DIDN'T READ THE EMAIL
G: What kind of positive feelings, like "I Love You"?
A: Yeah
G: Ooh, just tell them "I Love You"
G: I don't know, I think you should always be...
G: I think you should only be with someone you feel comfortable enough to tell them what you're feeling
A: I don't feel comfortable TELLING my feelings
A: This is the thing that doesn't make any sense...
A: It's very hard for me to express my feelings yet I can't stop doing it
A: It makes me very uncomfortable
A: But, having the feelings inside make me even MORE uncomfortable
G: Compulsively you HAVE to say something
A: I have to share it! (Laughing)
A: Cause like, my current boyfriend
A:I have a boyfriend, it's pretty cool
A: Like he says it's hard for him to talk about his feelings
A: And I'm like "Duh, of course but you still have to"
G: Yeah uh.. I don't know
A: I was like, "It's not easy over here for me, just out on a ledge screaming about stuff"
G: Think about it this way
G: Writer.. Listener... Caller
G: It's better to express them then to hold them all in
G: And then they come bursting out of you randomly one day
G: When you're NOT in control of them
G: At least when you express them yourself
G: And you sit down and choose to do it, you are in SOME control of yourself
A: Here's the thing I'd love to implement... relationship check-ins
G:Ooh like a DUI check-in
A: No... I don't know why your brain went there
A: More like a weekly convo where it's like,
A: "Here's how I feel about you, how do you feel about me? When should we.. move in"
A: Like having markers so that you don't..
A: That you HAVE to talk about your feelings for five minutes once a week
G: I bet some couples do that
A: No, way... Could I join G: Yeah, I bet they do
A: That's so smart
A: Then you could be like, "This week you annoyed me because you did these things"
G: Yeah A: "But I still love you more than I did last week"
G: Okay, Great
A: "But over all like, I don't like your family"
G: What happens when you sit down for a check-in and you're like, "I like you less"
A: Then you got another week to figure it out
A: But, I'd say you'd have to have a rule
A: That if you have three weeks of decline in liking someone then you gotta break-up
G: What if they lie at the check-in cause they feel like they can't express their FEELINGS
A: They're tied up to a truth detector G: (Laughs)
G: YOU'RE POLYGRAPHING!
A: Yeah, they're being polygraphed
G: Are you polygraphed?
A: Everyone's polygraphed
~ Outro Music~
G: I've never been hooked up to a polygraph
G: And I lie all the time
A: Yeah... well you don't need one
A: Just assume you're lying
