Welcome to Just Between Us
You might've heard rumors
that we're selling
merchandise!
This is designed by an amazing fan,
named Katie Tedesco,
and she made it for a class and now
we took those designs and we turned them into stickers and posters!
Right, so you can't buy this.
Not yet.
If you want shirts, you gotta buy the stickers and posters.
What do you do with stickers?
Put 'em on your laptop!
Yeah, let's say you got mad one day.
You punched a hole through your wall.
You don't have the money to fix it,
buy a poster.

This week's question is from California!
But also, all of the internet.
Lisette from San Diego wants to know
why do girls like assholes?
And why do people like damaged people who are bad for them?
Yeah, that's what I said.
This is such an important question that so many people google
we needed to bring in a professional.
So please welcome,
Karen Dunn. (clapping)
I was hoping it was an international question.
Let's do it anyway!
(singing together) International question!
International question!
San Diego!
California!
I can't with this at all.
Now in addition to being the mother of someone I will probably
have to spend the rest of my life with,
she's also a divorce lawyer.
So if anyone knows why people date assholes
It's me!
Is the number 1 reason for divorce money?
Yes.
See, that's why you marry rich.
Why do you think that people like assholes?
Well, as my grandmother used to say,
elephants don't marry zebras.
You're saying if somebody is dating an asshole,
they're probably also an asshole?
Probably!
Am I being too, like, mom-y?
No, you're not.
I've told you to experiment a lot.
-G: No you're not being-- -K: Like, sleep around!
You have to have the experience.
I'm sorry Allison. But you have to have the experience!
That's not the question! That's not the question!
Are you just trying to make sure people don't get divorced?
I think I should've become a divorce lawyer
so if I ever catch a man, he'll be afraid to leave.
Almost everybody is lying to you all of the time.
Well they're self-protective. They want to take care of themselves.
-G: protect themselves.
I'm the opposite.
They don't wanna seem like an asshole!
No, but Allison just wants to
get everything out on the table first.
Like all the true things
Like here's the whole thing!
And then people can make their own decisions.
Oh, but then they run.
Yeah, I know!
People are attracted to damaged people
because they like a fixer-upper.
Okay why do you go down to the river and pick up kittens
and like save those kittens?
-K: We don't. -A: I would never do that.
I like someone who is like a diamond in the rough,
and then I can turn them into
a diamond with some scratches.
-K: Oh my god. -A: None of these guys have been diamonds.
These guys are maybe like knock-off cubic zirconias
that are only sold at kiosks.
