Speaker 1: Welcome to But I'm a Lesbian, the podcast where we

serve all battye SaaS, queer, film reviews, and everything in between.

Speaker 2: Whether you were a baby, gay.

Speaker 3: Or a queer elder, we're here, we're queer, and we're

diving deep into all things lesbian.

Speaker 2: We're your hosts, Caitlin and Angelina.

Speaker 3: Get ready for some sapphig serotonin. So today's episode centers

on Ethan Cohen and Tricia Cook driveaway dolls. They well,

we have a lot of thoughts on this. You'll hear more.

But if you've seen our TikTok, you know you know

my thoughts on it at least. But Angelina's are going

to be a surprise. So I wanted to ask you.

I don't, well, surprise me.

Speaker 2: Okay.

Speaker 3: They spend a lot of time in lesbian bars in

this movie. Have you ever been to a lesbian bar?

Speaker 2: Sadly, no, I've never been.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I've only been to like events for Pride events

or when they're like oh come and it's like an

LGBTQ plus friendly space. But I have yet to go

to a lesbian bar, which is on my bucket list?

Speaker 2: Have you? No?

Speaker 4: I mean there's only like thirty six.

Speaker 2: I know I'm currently more closing, which is crazy.

Speaker 4: Yeah, so no, I've never been to one.

Speaker 3: I went to La Pride in like two thousand, maybe thirteen,

and the Palms I think it's called. They talk about

it on the lwhere, which is like a very old

school lesbian bar was near where they were having La Pride,

and I wanted to go in there, but I was hammered.

I was like really drunk, and we were like walking

back to a hotel and I was like, oh my god.

And while I was like, my wife was like no,

we're going back, and then it closed.

Speaker 4: I think that was like the year that I closed.

It was closing, So.

Speaker 3: I like I remember extra wanting to go because of that,

but also I was like really drunk.

Speaker 4: I was too drunk.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I also remember that I was like whenever I

would drink, I really wanted pizza, Like, so I was

like walking around La being like.

Speaker 4: I want pizza, and so then my wife had to

get me like a slice of pizza.

Speaker 1: She's like lesbian bar, Pizzazza's easier to get you made

the pizza.

Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I don't think there are really

any near us at all. There's not even really a

gay bar near us. There are things where like they

have special like one night events. I haven't gone to

them because it feels like, at least in our area,

the like lesbian events that they have, they kind of

seem like they're geared towards single lesbians, like I don't know,

so it feels weird to me.

Speaker 1: Well, there was a event we were gonna go, but

then we ended up not going. Yeah, I understand what

you mean. Sometimes it's like, if it's special events, it

definitely feels like come and mingle, which is great, like go, yeah,

see the other ones, but obviously we're both in relationships,

so we're like okay, yeah, we're.

Speaker 2: Like okay, I guess we can go. I mean, one

of these days we'll all have to go to like

I know, I know, give a review.

Speaker 1: But yeah, until then, yeah, single lesbians ye find their

future partners.

Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be cool to someday go to a

lesbian bar. I think there are still some, or at

least one in San Francisco, the Lexington Club or something.

I think that still exists, and I wanted to go

to that, but I don't really go to San Francisco ever,

so it's not like it's that close to me. Okay,

I guess I kind of knew that was going to

be your answer, but I thought maybe you were going

to be like, actually, I have, I have, I went

to this place so interesting. Let us know in the

comments if you've been to a lesbian bar or if

there's like a lesbian bar near you, because there are

so few, so I'm curious if there's any close to

anyone that is a listener, So, uh, we can talk

about our hot takes or burning desires.

Speaker 4: Is there anything that you want to share?

Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like my hot takee is a little boring,

but I know a lot of lesbians liked this movie

and I had high hopes too. When I heard about it,

I was like, oh my gosh, Caitlin, we you know

how cool.

Speaker 2: But I did not like it. So maybe that's a

hot take for some people.

Speaker 1: I don't like because I don't like it because I've

seen a lot of people say like, I like this movie,

I love it, and I think the general opinion is

I like it.

Speaker 2: So yeah, what is your hot taake?

Speaker 4: Yeah?

Speaker 3: I said, I understand that this is supposed to be

a B movie and it's supposed to be campy, but

I still don't like it. And I feel validated in

my haterism of this because I feel like this movie

to me as a lesbian, I resent your laughter, but

you know, I really felt like it felt like it

was making a joke of lesbians and acting like we're

obsessed with dildos, and I don't like it.

Speaker 4: It made me feel weird.

Speaker 3: I know that there are some lesbians that probably are

really really into dildos, and that's fine, but it just

made it seem like they're like obsessed with these like

dildos and like, oh, she just can't help herself, but

like fuck.

Speaker 4: Herself with it. And I was like, yeah, this is

too much, girl. I don't know, I don't know, have

some self control, have some dignity, ma'am. So yeah, I

still don't like it.

Speaker 3: I will say that I rewatched it for this, and

I had watched it before, yeah, and I kind of

like hated it slightly less the second time I watched it.

Speaker 1: We just have to watch it like ten more times.

Speaker 2: And then maybe we'll like it. We're we have a

new opinion.

Speaker 1: Guys.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I doubt it, but maybe you.

Speaker 3: Hate it more after like like, actually, I have taped

my mind.

Speaker 4: It's worse.

Speaker 3: So we're gonna take a quick break now, and when

we get back, we'll get into the recap. Check your

answering machine messages real fast, and get back here. Welcome

back to But I'm a Lesbian. This week we are

discussing Driveaway Dolls. So this movie, first of all, was

originally called Driveway Dikes. Oh yeah, I think that's important

to note since we're talking about the name of the movie.

And while I'm gonna tell you personally, I was really

excited about this movie.

Speaker 4: We went to our local movie theater.

Speaker 3: I don't even remember what we saw, but like, we

saw the poster for this movie before it came out,

and we were like, oh, this looks kind of gay

because I think it had like like a open legs

or something, or like a woman shaped silhouette on the

cover and then like a car like on the poster,

and so I was like, hey, looks look at this,

and then my wife was like, oh, it says Beanie's

in it, Beanie felt and we were like, I love Beanie.

Speaker 4: Okay, cool, And.

Speaker 3: Then my wife really wanted to watch it because she's

one of those lesbians that loves Pedro Pascal and he's amazing.

Speaker 4: Yeah, so she's like, we have to watch it for Pedro.

Speaker 3: I was like okay, and so and I was like, oh,

that that girl from Made is in it.

Speaker 2: Ye show.

Speaker 4: Yeah that was a good show.

Speaker 3: Enoughlix Margaret Qually, but I didn't know anything else about

her except I know that she's straight and they keep

casting her as a lesbian, which is kind of interesting.

Speaker 4: But she's kind of hot in this, but.

Speaker 3: I don't like her character. I just think she looks

kind of hot object.

Speaker 1: She does look very attractive. Yeah, she's like everything else

about it, Yeah, like that. I liked her style, I

liked her outfits. I was like, okay, yes, but like

her character. Yeah, her character obnous.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: It's one of those rare moments where it's like, even

though the character is hot and they're doing all these

like awful things, we excuse it. But this time her

personality is just a no go.

Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 3: It overshadowed it in really bad Southern accent that she's

doing through this whole movie.

Speaker 1: It was so distracting. I had to like stop it

and then watch it the next day. Yeah, and I

was like, I can't get over. It's so distracting to

me that I'm not even paying attention to the movie.

Speaker 3: It was like, and I want to say again, because

people kept telling me on TikTok, well, you just don't

understand it, okay, Like it's supposed to be a B movie.

It's supposed to being like a film bro, no film

bros were talking to me.

Speaker 4: It was like film lesbian film. But they're like, your.

Speaker 3: Stand okay, Like this is a B movie. It's supposed

to be camp like it's supposed to be bad. And

I'm like, okay, but I still am allowed to have

my opinion. And I I think that but I'm a

Lesbian is a camp movie and they did a good

job being campy this.

Speaker 2: I was like, but I'm a lesbian, but it's okay.

Speaker 3: I think that An example of a movie that was

camp and did a good job was but I'm a Cheerleader.

But I feel like they this did not do a

good job. And so and you know what, I looked

up what's a B movie? Because I was like, am

I confused? And there are B movies that I like?

Because Little Chop OFFRS Is considered a B movie and

I fucking.

Speaker 2: Love Little Shop before Little Shop of War is so

fucking good.

Speaker 1: But also this felt like they were trying, like it

was trying to not be a B movie, which is

why I felt like it wasn't.

Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, I don't know.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just weird.

Speaker 3: I anyway, I'll actually get into the recap.

Speaker 4: It was sitting all over it.

Speaker 3: So it's set in nineteen ninety nine, which I love

because I think I've talked about this before. I love

nineteen ninety nine because I was nine years old.

Speaker 4: You were born. I was you were born.

Speaker 3: But at the very end, and I feel like it

was like the summer of nineteen ninety nine is the

summer that I remember really clearly, like as I was, like,

you know, in my tween hood, and I just I

remember that very clearly from my childhood.

Speaker 4: I like nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 3: Anyway, So we open in Philadelphia. So we're in Philadelphia.

I've never been to Philadelphia.

Speaker 2: Have you No?

Speaker 3: Okay, I used to live in Pennsylvania for a really

short amount of time. I don't know if I talked

about this on the pod, but the town I lived

in it was called.

Speaker 2: Be For.

Speaker 3: So it was at Seaver Pennsylvania and all the signs.

Speaker 4: I know.

Speaker 3: Also around that time was when I had my mom

paint a giant rainbow in my room.

Speaker 4: Oh my, Y have a picture of me somewhere.

Speaker 3: In like myos of me standing there like with my tool.

Rainbow room anyway, so gay, But yeah, our team was

the Beaver Badgers or the Beaver bear cat or something.

It was like, why can't we just be the beaver Beavers.

I thought that was weird, but I guess whatever.

Speaker 2: They had to they had to add more. I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 4: I also had a crush on my pee teacher there.

Her name was miss Horwat.

Speaker 3: I actually have like looked her up kind of recently

and I think she still works there. I don't think

she's a lesbian, but she she gives lesbian vibes. She

probably just wasn't out then because it was like two

and two. That's true anyway. So we opened in Philadelphia,

like a bar type of restaurant, and we see Pedro

pescal and he's holding a briefcase and he looks all

like kind of nervous, and then he leaves and he's

walking outside and he's still holding the briefcase. And then

we see that the waiter from the restaurant is following

him in the dark, and then Pedro starts like running,

and then the waiter guy is chasing him, and then

we then we find out that Pedro's character's name is Santos,

but I think that later we hear his whole name,

but whatever.

Speaker 4: We're gonna just refer to.

Speaker 2: I only remember because.

Speaker 4: He's like, hey, Santos, like he says something like that.

And then.

Speaker 3: The waiter is like, give me the briefcase, and Pedro

doesn't immediately give it to him, so he like kills

him with a quirkscrew like in his uh like neck,

and and then also a pen or knife inside of

the neck.

Speaker 4: I don't know where there. He was like.

Speaker 2: Rowing from both. And then.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and then another guy comes up and steals the

briefcase and then takes it to a car and they

drive away.

Speaker 4: So we're like, okay. I was like, what does this

have to do with lesbian?

Speaker 2: That's what I saw too. I'm like, are they okay?

Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 3: It was funny because we watched the movie because my

wife wanted to see him, and he was in it

for like a minute bye.

Speaker 2: Yeah, literally like less than five minutes.

Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyway, then we cut to now we see lesbians.

Speaker 3: We cut to a sex scene with Margaret Qually aka Jamie.

Speaker 4: Her character's name is Jamie.

Speaker 3: In this she's going down on another girl and then

she gets a voicemail I guess a voicemail an answering

machine message while she's having sex with the friend.

Speaker 4: The friend's name is Carla.

Speaker 3: Okay, she's having sex with Carla and her friend Marian

calls and is like leaving a message, and but she doesn't.

Speaker 4: I don't think she answers this time, because she's like listening.

Speaker 2: To the Messageeah, she just listens to it while she's

having sex. Yes, like are you going to yeah?

Speaker 4: Okay.

Speaker 3: And then and then we see Marian and she's like

at work, so we're like, okay, she was calling from

work to talk to her friend and a man is

hitting on her, a man that works there, and he's like, oh,

do you like want to go see Fish to know?

And she's like no, and he's like it's a band,

you know. Like she's like I know, oh yeah, he's

like a fish. She's like yeah, I don't like I know,

being alone weirdo. Anyway, and then Marian calls again, and

then Jamie answers and she's like, don't call me Darry sex.

Speaker 4: I told you not to.

Speaker 3: Yeah, but she doesn't want her to know that she

is having sex because I think we then find out,

like she's supposed to be with a different girl.

Speaker 4: You're not supposed to be this girl.

Speaker 1: She answers the phone, but someone else, like she has

her on the other line. She has Marian on the

other line, and Suki is on the line, and she's like,

what do you mean you're having sex and she's.

Speaker 2: Like, oh no, I'm just masturbating. It's just the video

is like really loud.

Speaker 1: Like let me turn turn it down, and Marian's like hello,

And so she's already a cheater. We can find out

because she's not supposed to be having sex.

Speaker 4: I was confused by the whole situation.

Speaker 1: I thought so too, But when I watched it again,

I was like, oh, the line like she put her

on a hole because.

Speaker 3: There used to be like like in mean girls when

like they're like calling and they're like hold on, like

they said, but like they were talking shit about each

other on the lines. Okay, anyway, that's not that important. Anyway,

she's supposed to be with Suki is the point, and

she's not. She's going down on Carla, and so then

we see we cut to a lesbian bar and Marion

is there. She's watching Jamie who's kind of like hosting

this like body shot competition, and like, I don't know

if they ever say what Jamie's sign is, but she

gives like really big leo energy because she's like, I'm

the center of attention.

Speaker 4: I'm basically like hosting this.

Speaker 3: She gives me Leo Gemini by Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I could see I could see the air sign this.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Anyway, so then they show that Suki, who is I

keep wanting to say Suki, like okay, yeah, but Ki,

who was played by Beanie, it's like being a hater

about Jamie and she's like, oh, she's a slut, blah

blah blah. And so then I think we realize that

that's the one that she's dating, and she sees her

being kind of scandalous on the stage, so she like

goes up and apparently she punches her. And I just

want to say that I know this is like supposed

to be funny, but like just because they're both girls,

doesn't mean that they can hit each other, okay. Domestic

violence is not okay in any circumstance. Yea.

Speaker 4: And so later we see Jamie.

Speaker 3: On the couch and she has like peas or whatever

on her eye because her girlfriend punched her and I

guess broke up with her and she not has to

move out, so she's gonna have to like move out,

and she's like complaining about love to Marian. She's like,

love is the worst, blah blah blah. It's like maybe

if you want a cheater, it wouldn't.

Speaker 1: Be she obviously you shouldn't have got a black eye,

but maybe you didn't cheat, you would still be together.

Speaker 3: Yeah, she bothers me already, and she's doing this stupid

accent the whole time. She's supposed to be from Texas

and so she's doing this like over the top accent. Anyway,

Marian says, well, I'm going to go to Tallahassee to

go visit my aunt.

Speaker 4: And Jamie's like, oh cool, I need to go on

a trip like to like clear my mind.

Speaker 3: And she's like I didn't invite you, but okay, and

so she's like, we could do a drive away and

I've never heard of this before, and Marian had also

never heard of this. So apparently a drive away is

or was a thing where like you contact like a

car rental company and you're like, hey, do you have

any cars that need to go like near Tallahassee, and

basically you I think it to do it like for

free because you're like delivering it for them, or you

get like a you kids discounting because you're like delivering

it to the other location or whatever where it needs

to go. And yeah, so that's pretty cool. And so

then they're like, She's like, I guess we can do

a drive away whatever.

Speaker 4: So the next day they're moving.

Speaker 3: Jamie's stuff out of Suki's house and then they show

Suki is trying to remove this like glittery wall dildo

and she's that's the first time I think that they

make a big point out of dildo's And I was like, oh, okay, whatever,

I just still don't want I hate penetration and that's

not the case. I just hate the idea that lesbians

are obsessed with some with phallic things.

Speaker 4: I don't know.

Speaker 3: Anyway, So she is also complaining about this cute chihuahua

that I guess Jamie convinced her to get and she's like,

I don't even like that dog, and I'm like, okay,

well I don't like Suki. She's a cunt, because how

can you hate a cute little chihuahua. This is like

if we were to talk about like red flags just

in like people like if you don't like dogs or

if you don't like cats, I don't think I could like.

Speaker 4: And like, sorry, so I think Suki is a bad person.

Speaker 2: She already is because she hit me too. Oh yeah,

so she's.

Speaker 4: Got a lot of bad person Okay.

Speaker 3: So then they go to the car place with the

Dilda sticking out of the box, which I thought was

really weird because it's like the late nineties. They're going

to a car rental place with like a creepy old

man and they just have like a sex toy like

out of the I don't know how they're not scared

of getting hate crimed. And maybe I should be like

proud of them for like being like loud and proud,

but I'm like scared for them because like.

Speaker 1: And also the reality is that you most likely would

like they would probably be really mean and not like

or they would just be creepy and.

Speaker 4: Be like, oh, don't you want a real you know

what I mean?

Speaker 3: Like that's how like men are, Like I wouldn't go

with a sex toy hanging out to go talk and.

Speaker 2: Just put it in your pocket.

Speaker 4: Yeah, like weird. And then actually one time that I

told you.

Speaker 2: This, yeah, I was like, are you going to tell

the story?

Speaker 1: OK?

Speaker 4: One time we.

Speaker 3: Used have to go to the laundromat until relati recently

we have like a washroom dryer at our house. But

we went to the laundromount one time and for some reason,

I had like.

Speaker 4: One of those.

Speaker 3: It was like the like I think it's called like

a rabbit one, so it's like it's like a builda

thing with like the little like bunny air.

Speaker 4: And literally I hadn't even like used it yet.

Speaker 3: We just like got it for free from Like remember

when the boxes were really cool, like you would get

like a beauty box every month. It's when like bark

Box started. They had like a sex toy box. It

was called like Spicy Box. Then I signed up for

it and I got this anyway point being for some reason,

it was in the hamper like wrapped in something, and

we went to put the clothes in the washer and

it fell out on the ground in like this hick

town and it just like rolled across the ground. It

was so awkward. My wife was so mad at me.

Speaker 2: She was so excited, like Kaitlin, God, damn it.

Speaker 3: Okay, no one saw anyway, so I would not be

going purposely having it stick out with a hamper.

Speaker 4: Okay.

Speaker 3: So so they're like, hey, do you have anything that

needs to go like near Tallahassee need driveaways? And the

guy's like, oh, yeah, actually, like I just got a

call for one, so you must be the people for it,

because he had gotten like kind of a shady call

apparently that was like my people are going to come

in and you need to take this specific car to Tallahassee,

and so he thought they were the people. This is

where the stories connect, This is yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay.

So then we see them at the apartment planning the

trip and they have like a big map, which reminds me,

I'm so glad I became an adult in the time

period that I became an adult, because at least when

I started driving, we have map Quest, so like you

didn't have to use like an old school like map

map and like map it out because I would be

so fucking lost if I had to like actually use

a map and like follow the route. But anyway, she's

like marking all these gay bars that she wants to

stop at, so like she's like.

Speaker 1: But good for you for still finding out how to

use like because you told me it was like directions

like turn here, turn there. But still, I mean people

get even with like did.

Speaker 4: You never because it wasn't like the thing by the time.

Speaker 1: Oh no, my parents did they. But I was just

sitting there like, okay, we get there.

Speaker 2: When we get there, I have no idea what we're doing.

Speaker 3: I remember having to either print it out or because

I never really like had a printer when I was

like a young adult, so I would have to like

pull it up on my computer, write it down on

a piece of paper, and then have the paper near

me as I'm driving, and like trying.

Speaker 4: It's still kind of hard. I can't imagine how hard it.

Speaker 3: Would be as you were driving by yourself with the map,

because I had to be like, oh, I have to

get off on this exit.

Speaker 2: Just have it on the passenger seat.

Speaker 1: Yes.

Speaker 3: So anyway, she wants to make like a fun trip

out of it. She wants to try to get laid.

I'm sure she does that is She's like the scene.

Speaker 2: All the lesbian bars, let's go, And.

Speaker 3: So we see then at the drive away shop, we

see some guys looking for the car, and the owner

guys like, oh, I already give it to those girls.

I thought those were the people, and they're like, what

the fuck? And then we find out that this car

has the briefcase in it, that briefcase that Santos got

killed for ye, and so curly the guy that owns

the drive away is in big trouble with the bad

guys because of this, and then he gives them the

phone number to reach the girls because they had to

give a local number, but they gave Suki's number and

they beat him up anyway, And then we cut to

see Jamie and Marian like about to leave, and Jamie

wrote on the car like love is love is a

sleigh ride to Hell, and I'm like, why would you write.

Speaker 4: On this borrowed car? Yeah, I hope.

Speaker 2: She's so quirky, and she just saysn't care.

Speaker 3: I was like, she is rude and annoyspectful, yes, okay,

and then she says her plan is to get Marion laid,

and they get to a hotel and they asked the

guy working in the front desk where the dyke bar is,

and they're like.

Speaker 4: We're dicas, blah blah blah.

Speaker 3: That was another thing where I was like, I'm proud

of them for like living like loud and proud, but

I'm like also scared for them because they're like, seems

like they're in like a kind of like a small

type of thing. And they're asking a random old probably

straight man where the dyke bar is anyway, and they

ask for other lesbian stuff.

Speaker 4: I don't know.

Speaker 3: I don't remember what else they say, And so the

next scene is them arriving at a lesbian bar called

the Butter Churn, and Jamie is like telling Marian, like,

choose someone to fuck, and Marian ends up leaving because

she's not into casual sex, and Jamie stays behind.

Speaker 4: Because she is into casual sex.

Speaker 3: If we didn't already understand that from her chee other girl, and.

Speaker 4: There's nothing wrong with being into casual sex.

Speaker 3: I want to know that I'm not slept shaming anyone,

but I would be the Marian in this situation. Maybe

when I was drinking, I was like more into it

because like drunk, Caitlin is a completely different person. But

like I'm like basically like I would say, I'm like demisexual.

I feel like I don't have a attraction to somebody

unless I'm like actually attracted to like their mind or

like I have to have like an attraction to like

not just not just like their body to like I

never see somebody. I mean, I've been in a relationship

for a long time, so I can think it would

be weird if I was like looking at random people

on the street and being like I want to fuck them.

Speaker 4: But I never did that. I never like before.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 3: So anyway, Marian is like reading at the hotel and

then Jamie brings a girl back to the hotel to

have sex with and I feel like that's really rude.

But she just made her leave, and so Marian like

goes and sits at the front desk like lobby with

that old man while they're doing stuff, and I feel

like that's.

Speaker 1: Just reading her book and it's late at night too.

Why would you kick your friend out?

Speaker 3: Yeah, and also she invited herself on this trip, like

you know, like she's so rude okay.

Speaker 4: So then they.

Speaker 3: Show the car outside and they show the briefcases in

it in case we didn't already put that together there, like, look,

the briefcase is in here. And then the next day

we see Jamie driving and Marianne is in the passenger seat,

and marian tells Jamie she doesn't think that she should

have brought someone back to the room, and.

Speaker 4: Jamie's like, how am I supposed to read your mind?

And I'm like you she wanted you think she wanted

to go to the lobby.

Speaker 3: And like yeah, so I'm like wow. And then she

pulls off to a pizza place and this specific college

women's soccer team is having pizza, and Jamie's like, oh

my god, I know of them.

Speaker 4: They are hardcore lesbians.

Speaker 3: She says something like that, like I don't remember what

word she says, and they're gonna have a basement party

and I'm gonna get us invited, And so then we

also do There's another scene we cut to the driveaway

store again and the bad guy answers the phone and

finds out that the girls didn't show up to deliver

the car on time. That is because Jamie wanted to

make it into a trip where she tries to get

laid and tries to get the other girl late.

Speaker 4: And kept stopping and then I have.

Speaker 3: I want to have a discussion about this part. So

then we cut to the basement party. All the girls

are making out with each other, even Marian, but she

looks kind of like awkward doing it, and it's like

a rotating makeout party.

Speaker 2: Which is so weird. She like blows the whistle and

they're like, okay, next.

Speaker 4: Okay, then maybe you're going to answer my question. Have

you ever done this?

Speaker 1: No?

Speaker 4: Okay?

Speaker 2: I like, yeah, Oh my god, Okay, that's why.

Speaker 3: That's why I was like, and you know what, when

we watched this, I was like, oh my god, this

is so funny.

Speaker 4: We used to do this all the time in high school.

And my wife was like, so's weird.

Speaker 3: Yes, okay, wow, we my friend Tara's house. There would

be like it would be probably like ten people, and

I remember like there wasn't like a whistle, but it

would just like everybody kind of would be like making

out with one person and then slowly somebody would like

move on to the next person start making out with

that person, and then you're like okay, So then you

rotate yes.

Speaker 4: And so I just I remember doing that.

Speaker 2: Like a lot. Yeah, and I thought that that was normal.

Speaker 4: I thought everyone did it.

Speaker 3: So I was like, well, you know what these college

uh this college soccer team or whatever did it.

Speaker 4: So I'm like that, find me out of it.

Speaker 3: It's not like the pasta yea, like everyone cuts their

pasta like into so anyway, I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 4: So yeah, so but then the thing that like gets

like a little bit weird.

Speaker 3: I guess it's like when it comes to be the

time for Jamie and Marian to make out, it's like,

I don't know, I feel like they're kind of like

looking into each other's eyes and then I think Marian like.

Speaker 4: I don't know, this was kind of hot to me.

To me, the kiss was hot, ma, what was the

hot heart?

Speaker 3: When when Marian was like being awkward and then she

was like said on her lap, I was like, am

I attracted to Margaret Cawley? I think only right now,

only if I do like Margaret.

Speaker 2: I think she's very attractive, it's just the role like

this she is, but I feel like she.

Speaker 1: Plays it away lesbian, but not in this movie, like

in general, I get what she's trying to do but like.

Speaker 3: You know, well, and then we find out that she

based her lesbian character off of a problematic man, so

that's yeah, but I don't know.

Speaker 4: I just thought the camera Sima lap was like sexy. Anyway,

So then.

Speaker 3: They like make out and that was pretty cool.

Speaker 4: And so then we also see the bad guys.

Speaker 3: We cut to Suki's house and the bad guys came

in because that's the number they got from the driveaway thing,

and they ask Suki about Marian and Jamie and she

like attacks them, and eventually she shows them a picture

of Jamie and I don't know, I guess she's just like, yeah, now,

well that's bad. But now the bad guys know what

Jamie looks like.

Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't know before, and she did not care.

She was like, yeah they're not my friends.

Speaker 4: Hurt them.

Speaker 2: And she's also a cop, so if there's not another.

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know they told us that yet,

but yeah, she.

Speaker 1: Know she had her uniform or I saw, and I

was like, she's kin, I forgot.

Speaker 3: Okay anyway, So then at the basement party we're back

there again. Marian runs off crying and I was like,

I think that's because she loves Jamie. And then we

see the bad guys talking to whoever their boss is

on the phone and the boss is like, you guys

have to drive to Tallhassee. So now we know that

they're going to be basically kind of chasing them. We

see Marian walking by herself back to the hotel and

she gets stopped by a cop literally for no fucking reason.

Speaker 4: It's racism.

Speaker 3: I feel like they were like, this is a brown

person walking by themselves and they arrest her, which is crazy.

Speaker 4: She wasn't doing anything but her attitude.

Speaker 1: She was like, I don't remember what house I came from.

It was a basement party, like a slumber party. And

he's like you're too old for a slumber party. And

then was like she was like oh my god, like.

Speaker 2: What literally she didn't even do anything.

Speaker 1: He was just like I don't like you.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 3: So then we see her in jail because she got arrested,

and she is like laying there like maybe like sort

of starting to drift off to like sleep like, and

she's remembering when she was a little kid and she

would jump on this trampoline so she could see this

neighbor lady naked that would like tan naked.

Speaker 4: In her yard, and.

Speaker 3: Then they cut to this weird like hippie sequence with

Miley Cyrus, and Miley Cyrus is like, it's like like

it's like I don't know, it's like weird hippi vibes

with weird colors, and Miley Cyrus is like, hey, handsome,

want to get plastered. So this is foreshadowing is what

I wrote this person that they have Miley Cyrus's character

based on the like plaster Caster was like a real

person that like was like a kind of like a

groupie in like the seventies, and she would like make

plaster casts of like celebrity like celebrities dicks or whatever. Yeah,

so they based Miley's little character off of that. But

then we see the two bad guys driving and one

gets a call that says Marion was picked up and

arrested in Georgia.

Speaker 4: So they're like, okay, she's in Georgia.

Speaker 3: And then we cut to seeing Jamie and Marion, and

Jamie had just picked Marian up from jail, and Jamie's like,

you need to be better with people because you got

arrested for having an attitude, And I was like, this

is stupid because Jamie is white, yeah, and I feel

like she is like obviously doesn't understand that. It probably

didn't matter if she had an attitude or not. He

was like, who is this non white woman walking in

my town?

Speaker 4: Yeah?

Speaker 3: And so anyway, then they see a sign for Gary Channel,

who as a senator running for re election, very Republican vibes,

and it's Matt Damon.

Speaker 4: Yes, Matt Damon, it is okay, And then the tire.

Speaker 3: Gets messed up and they're like like, go off the road,

and they're trying to get a spare, and that's when

they see that there's like a hidden briefcase under there

in the trunk, and underneath that is a bag with

like dry ice or whatever. And then Jamie's like, we

shouldn't open the box. And I was thinking of seven

when Brad.

Speaker 4: Pitt is.

Speaker 3: You know, it was also ahead it was Pedro Pascal's

slash s head. So they're like, well, what the fuck?

And then we see we cut to the soccer team

house and the bad guys like got there. They found

out that they had hung out there, and so they

are like asking them questions and they're like, what were

you doing last night?

Speaker 4: And they're like, we were making out and they're like,

who are you making out with? And they're like ha

ha ha.

Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just weird. And I also wrote

why is no one afraid of being hate crimed? And

I feel like this maybe is me being old, but

Tricia Cookie is older than me, because I feel like

kind of like a fear around like straight men.

Speaker 4: That I don't know.

Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to tell them like I was making

out with all of my friends here, like I don't know,

because I feel like there are too many stories of

since had been like raping and beating and kailing lesbians

or like women in general. So anyway, they give them

like an address to, oh, this is where Jamie and

Marion we're going to hang out at, but it's like

not the right place. They end up going to the

wrong place. So then we see Jamie and Marion at dinner.

They're trying to get up the nerve to like open

the briefcase and they open it and they're like, but

they don't show you what it is yet, so you

just see their reaction. And then they go to a

hotel and Jamie keeps talking about being a lesbian at

the front desk. She's like a place for lesbians because

I'm a lesbian and she has like a rainbow card

or something and she's like the Lesbians Organization or whatever.

Speaker 4: So I thought that was kind of funny.

Speaker 3: But so then Jamie decides to call Suki because she's

a cop, and she tells them. Sukie's like, oh, is

this about the two guys that were like looking for you?

And Jamie's like, uh what, No, I didn't know that.

But also, I can help you break a murder case.

Go to Curly's drive away and ask about the attache

slash briefcase. So she does end up checking it out

at some point, but it doesn't come of anything because

she's kind of a shitty cop. Like literally Curly is

in there like on the ground.

Speaker 2: Her, I know, she literally looks in the windows just

like oh my god.

Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just like Jamie leading me on a wild

goose chase basically. And so the bad guys end up

finding out that the girls are at that hotel in

tallahas To because Jamie used her gay credit card, so

they're like headed to go find them, and then Jamie

and Marian are having dinner at like the nice restaurant

that's like inside the hotel, and I was like, it's

so a date, like it's giving date vibes. It is.

And then Jamie's saying very sexual things and asking Marian

to have sex with her right in front of the waiter,

and I feel like that's so awkward.

Speaker 1: Yeah, And surprisingly Marian's just like, oh my god, wait

what because she's like, I want to wine and dine

in you, because I gets the feeling you're not just

like go back to the hotel and have sex like

I care about you, you care about me, and that's

the only way you're gonna have sex.

Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, And so then they dance and Jamie is

going on and on about a giant dildo, and then

Marian kisses her.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 3: I don't even remember that conversation, but that's what I wrote.

They're making out on the dance floor in Florida in

nineteen ninety nine, and so I think that again, maybe

this is me. I wish I didn't have to feel afraid,

but I would be afraid to be making out with

my wife in Florida even in now twenty twenty five,

well especially now because things are going backwards. But you know,

I would have been scared in nineteen eighty nine to two.

And so then they go back to their room and

they have sex. Jamie goes down on Marian and Marian

falls asleep as soon as she comes. So the instance, Yeah,

that's important because I feel like they're showing she's.

Speaker 2: Been like very like it's been around. That's why they

said it's been years and she that's why. That's why

Jamie was like, we need to get you late, like yes,

sat yes.

Speaker 3: And so then we we end up at some point

seeing the main bad guy or like the second to

top bad guy, the boss of the two bad guys

that are coming, is like on his way to Tallahassee.

He like is in the back of like a fancy

car and he tells the driver wake me up when

we get to Tallahassee. So we're like, oh, okay, so

he didn't just send like the two like smaller bad guys. Yes,

he's set going himself. And so then we see another

flashback of baby Marian watching the naked neighbor, and so

we're like, okay, she's dreaming, and the naked neighbor gets

out of the pool and puts cowboy boots on her

wet feet.

Speaker 4: I was like, ew, what the I don't know, that's

so gross to me.

Speaker 2: I think I did not even trying right out of

the pool put her boots on, and I was like, oh.

Speaker 4: I thought that was weird.

Speaker 3: And then then Marian wakes up and she sees that

Jamie is using a dildo on herself from the briefcase.

So the briefcase this is when we find out that

the briefcase is full of dildos and she just like

couldn't resist. She was like, I tried to wait for you,

but I couldn't. And I feel like that's part of

what was so annoying, Like, oh my god, you're like

so like crazy over phallic shaped things that you can't

even wait for your girl that would have sex with

you to wake up. Anyway, So then the bad guys

show up and they bust into the room and they

take the dildos and the head box, and then we

go to another Miley Cyrus plaster cast flashback, and so

basically what they're telling us is that Miley Cyrus the

plaster caster, made a plaster casted dildo of the Senator guy,

the Republican Senator channel. Gary Channels or whatever that they

saw the sign for of his dick, and so that

we also find out is the one that's Jamie's fave.

Speaker 4: And the one that she was using.

Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, this is like I

just can't help it because it's so good. It was

so crazy. Yeah, best dildo ever.

Speaker 3: Yeah. And so then the bad guys realize that they're

missing one, and they have the girls like in like

a warehouse place like bound and gagged, and the bad

guy explains the situation about the senator's penis being made

into a dildo and that that was the one that

she used. And we also find out that Santo's was

a collector of dildos. And while this is happening, a

housekeeper finds the dildo at the hotel and screams.

Speaker 4: So she's making the bed and she's like and so

then then the bad guys like freak out.

Speaker 3: One of them shoots the other two and the girls

are still like bound and then he tries to shoot them,

but he ran out of bullets.

Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think he like runs away, he does

or does he kill himself? I can't remember.

Speaker 2: No, No, he runs away. I think he's just like,

oh fuck, yes.

Speaker 4: He just runs away. Okay.

Speaker 3: Then the girls get out of being in the like

bind and they plan to go to the hotel and

get the dildo. And then they show us this quick

scene of Suki with the dog at the airport buying

tickets to Tallahassee, because remember she hates the dog, so

she's like, I know where she is. A child hassee

I'm gonna bring this dog to her. So Marian gets

back to the hotel, she sees the dildo. It's on

the counter like wrapped with the bow, which I think

was really nice of the housekeeper.

Speaker 2: She was mortified and then she was like oh.

Speaker 1: She was like.

Speaker 3: Then we see Jamie calling the senator and being like,

we need a million dollars and we'll give you the

dildo of your deck. And then we see Jamie and

Marian making out in the shower, and then Marian is like,

I want to make love with the senator's penis.

Speaker 2: Which is so that's the part. It's like, why do

you have to say the senators is bother me?

Speaker 4: I don't know.

Speaker 3: I just thought it was so weird, Like I don't know,

I know that there are like I know that there

are like important stars that make like like there's like,

oh yeah, like their penis or like their like vagina,

Like it's like supposed to be just like Jenergy, that's

the only important Sorry no, because she's the only famous.

Speaker 4: But you, oh, she's a lesbian now, But anyway, I

don't know. I know that that's the thing.

Speaker 3: It just it wouldn't be a thing to me, and

so I'm just just a judgmental lesbian. So then we

cut to the lesbian bar. It's called she Shed, and

the senator is sitting there with a briefcase, waiting to

meet Jamie and Marion, and he starts telling them about

how like all of these penises belong to someone important,

blah blah blah. He gives them the briefcase with the money,

and then a biker lady comes up and invites them

to a basement party and they say no. So I'm like, oh,

that's sweet because I feel like she just wants to

be like Jamie now, just wants.

Speaker 2: To be with Marian.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: She's like no, not tonight.

Speaker 3: Yes, And so then we see Suki coming into the

into the Dike Bar to bring the dog she hates

for no reason and wants Jamie to take care of.

And then like they're like all kind of like outside

the bar, and the Senator had like left, but then

he comes back up with like a mask and a

gun and he tries to shoot.

Speaker 2: Them, but does to get his money back.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like girl, you're well guy whatever, you're rich,

like just let them.

Speaker 2: He didn't want to let him lide.

Speaker 1: He's like, I got my dildo back and I'm also

getting my money back, yes, and so.

Speaker 3: He tries to shoot them, but Suki shoots him first.

And then and then like the head comes out of

the thing because when he got shot, he like dropped

it or something or whoever happened. They like box like

the head dropped, and then like it's rolling and then

like the dog is chasing it and so so like

that's pretty cool because like they made a million dollars.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and the senator was exposed.

Speaker 3: Yeah okay, And then we cut to Marian and Jamie

at brunch and they're reading like the newspaper and it

talks about the senator being in trouble and then Marian

is like, I'm so sad.

Speaker 4: I wish we made a copy of his penis.

Speaker 2: Though she's like like so good.

Speaker 4: Perfect, and Jamie's like, I made two copies and I

was like, what man's penis?

Speaker 3: Yeah, so I literally wrote that. I was like, so

weird that they're so obsessed with this man's panis. Literally,

So then they finally meet aunt Ellis.

Speaker 4: The whole reason that they were going to Tallahassee was

so that Marian could hang out with her aunt Ellis,

and then the aunt asks like, oh, like where are

you going to go after this or something?

Speaker 3: And Jamie is like, We're gonna go to Massachusetts because

women can get married there.

Speaker 4: To each other.

Speaker 3: And so I'm like, whoa, this is very lesbian of

her though, like there you finally like got with her,

and now she's the dick.

Speaker 2: The dildo was their like wedding ring because she's like

hers and hers, Now let's go get married.

Speaker 4: Yes, okay.

Speaker 3: So then they're like driving away in the like with

the ant to go sight seeing or whatever, and the

valet guy tries to give them their bag with the

dildos in it because apparently they forgot it, but I'm

pretty sure.

Speaker 4: They're coming back because they're obsessed with it. They're obsessed

with it, so they're I'm not going to leave their

two copies of the senators dick.

Speaker 3: So anyway, then as they're like driving away, they show

us like that it says driveway dolls, but then it

changes to dikes because they were going to originally call

it that, And I just think that's dumb because I

feel like, I don't feel like people that are not

like actually lesbians and have the struggles that come with

being a lesbian should be using the word dyke because

it's kind of like, I mean, it is a slur,

it's not kind of like a slur, but like, I

just feel like it's weird that a straight man and

his wife wanted to name their movie drive Away dikes.

It's giving very fetishy, fetishizing lesbians.

Speaker 2: And it bugs me.

Speaker 4: And I know it's suposed to be campy, but I

still critique it. So that was the end.

Speaker 3: They got to be millionaires, which is great, and they

got to have two copies of that man's penis.

Speaker 2: They probably get married.

Speaker 4: Oh and probably they're gonna get married, you.

Speaker 2: Know, house along for the ride.

Speaker 4: Yes, she was like, oh.

Speaker 3: So AnyWho, now the moment we've all been waiting for

our version of fuck Mary Kill munch merge murder. So

the options are Jamie, Marion, and Suki.

Speaker 4: What would you do?

Speaker 1: I keep making I know, I'm like, let me think

automatically off the bat, I'm killing Suki because I dislike her.

Speaker 2: I really hate her and like dogs.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's in the character and she's just I

don't like her anyways. But other than like in real

life Beanie, I like her, but in this this character. No,

it's kind of hard because I do think Jamie is attractive,

but I do like Marion too. But I think I'm

going to kill Jamie and merge with Marian.

Speaker 2: I mean, no, kill two people. I'm sorry. I'm gonna

munch Jamie and merge with Mary.

Speaker 4: I'm gonna hate to kill Suki and Jamie doubles.

Speaker 2: Okay, what about you?

Speaker 4: Okay, I think I think that. Yeah. The only character

that I sort of like ish is Marian. Yeah.

Speaker 3: I am not really that attracted to her because, as

we know, I have a tiepe and Jamie fits that

type more because she's giving, like a little bit mask

in this.

Speaker 4: But I like Marian's personality more so.

Speaker 3: I would merge with Marion, I would munch Jamie, and

I would also kill Supe, even though I love Beanie.

Speaker 2: You don't want to kill Jamie too?

Speaker 3: If I could kill two, yeah, I think that's what

I'll stick with. Okay, so we're going to rate the movie.

What would you rate this movie on a scale of

one to five? Cherries a one? Me too.

Speaker 4: You know, if we were still doing point five's, I

almost would give it a one point five would do?

Speaker 2: I would give it a zero if I could, But

we do one out of five?

Speaker 4: Should? I hate it a little less?

Speaker 3: But I'm not rounding up to a two because I

don't think it's good enough for two. Therefore it's a

it's a one.

Speaker 2: It's a one.

Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't like it, so, oh my god,

same Zi's.

Speaker 3: So if you're enjoying but I'm a lesbian, please head

over to our Instagram or TikTok or blue Sky. We

just made a Blue Sky. I'm trying to get used

to that. Also, Lemon eight we made that too, So

follow us on there. If you use either of those

or any of those. We're on all of the platforms,

and if you follow, you'll be able to stay up

to date with our newest episodes and our hottest takes.

Right now, we're going to take a second little break

and then we'll come back for our WLW History segment.

Speaker 1: Welcome back and get ready for our next segment WLW History.

So the unknown fate of gay marriage, which is very

relevant right now and not in a good way.

Speaker 3: No, And it's kind of I forgot that it's actually

sort of relevant to this movie because at the we're

going to go to Massachusetts.

Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what.

Speaker 2: I was going to add that in there, but I

was like, no, once we like go through the recap,

we'll be like.

Speaker 4: Wait, yes, Well it worked out perfectly exact.

Speaker 1: So ten years ago, the fire for gay marriage in

the US was won in though bergerfel versus Hodge's case,

the Supreme Court voted to federally legalize gay marriage on

June twenty sixth, twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2: Yay, but also not that long ago.

Speaker 1: Yeah, this required all states to issue marriage licenses to

same sex couples, regardless of the specific state's opinion.

Speaker 3: Yes, so before this decision, gay marriage was legal in

some states. So, like what Jamie mentioned in the movie,

it was legal in Massachusetts first, which makes sense because

that's where Provincetown is, which is literally like the gayest town.

I've never been there, but I'd like to go, but

I've never been. I think there's so many like gay

people in Massachusetts, and it's also so it's a very

liberal state, like the a lot of the East Coast is. Yeah.

So I have on here that they legalized gay marriage

in two thousand and three, but I wanted somebody fact

check me because this movie was supposed to be in

nineteen nine and nine, and she said that women were

allowed to get married in Massachusetts.

Speaker 4: So I'm like confused.

Speaker 1: Maybe they were allowed, oh, because you know there's like

the domestic partnerships.

Speaker 4: So maybe maybe they wanted to. I don't know.

Speaker 3: So it's no surprise that our community has faced a

lot of inequity throughout the years, especially when it has

to do with marriage rights. So Angelina and I are

from California, and most people view it as a very

progressive state, which it is, but it has a rocky

history with same sex marriage rights. So basically, like the

first time that gay people were kind of able to

get married in California was in the city of San

Francisco in two thousand and four. The mayor was Gavin

Newsom at the time. He's now our governor. He basically

like directed the clerks at the city to start issuing

marriage licenses to same sex couples.

Speaker 4: He was like, it's fine, just do it.

Speaker 3: Yeah. So a bunch of people got married, which is

really cool. But the marriages ended up being a voided

at some point because the Feds whatever were like, he

didn't have the authority to do that, and so they said,

they said no. And then it was legalized for like

a really short time in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 4: May two thousand and eight, and so I remember that happening.

Speaker 3: I want to say that this is when Ellen and

Portia got married, but they might have gotten married in

two thousand and four, but then it was like voided

and then they got then they did it again.

Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. I remember.

Speaker 3: I just remember, okay, because I've said how old I

am before, So I was eighteen in two thousand and eight.

So I remember that people were getting married in like

early early two thousand and eight. But then this Proposition

eight came out, which was like a huge deal. It

was a proposition literally the point of it was to

ban gay marriage in California, and so I was introduced

that same year two thousand and eight and.

Speaker 4: It fucking passed.

Speaker 3: And I remember being so upset because I, like most

people from outside of California, and a lot of people

from California, thought like, this is California, like this San

Francisco is here, La is here, Like I know that,

like there are like really red pockets, but the very

heavily populated air are like pretty gay. So I was like,

how the fuck is this going to pass? And also

this was like fucked up for me because this would

have been the first time I was allowed to vote.

But this is when I moved to New Hampshire for

six months, and so I moved in August of two

thousand and eight, and I moved back in February two

thousand and nine, so I missed being able to vote.

I also didn't get to vote for Obama in the

first election because I had moved at like a weird

time and I didn't register to vote fast enough.

Speaker 4: I don't know, I was eighteen, I was stupid.

Speaker 3: But also just want to say, we found out that

gay marriage was not legalized in Massachusetts until two thousand

and four, So just another stupid thing about this movie.

Speaker 4: They were wrong, wrong, like literally way wrong, like five

years wrong.

Speaker 3: Yeah, idiots, it's because because the people that made it

are not gay, so why the fuck would they know

about it?

Speaker 4: And they don't care.

Speaker 1: They're like, oh, it sounds like it's an okay time.

Speaker 2: It's really weird, and.

Speaker 4: So PROPA eight passed. That was crazy.

Speaker 3: The fight continued as many people in California argued probably

was unconstitutional, and a judge in twenty ten agreed and

propaate was overturned, but it didn't automatically give Californians the

right to marry. The determination was actually stayed until twenty thirteen. Yeah,

so there were quite a few states before us.

Speaker 2: There were, which is.

Speaker 1: So surprising when you would think, like, okay, California, you know,

we're a little behind here. But yeah, so, as we

all know, or if you didn't know, the Supreme Court

has been formally asked to revisit its ruling on gay

marriage by none other than Kim Davis, the former county

clerk that literally got in trouble for denying same sex

couples their marriage licenses because she's like, oh my god,

this is against my beliefs in the Bible, and I've

been married four times. It's okay though, because I'm a

straight woman. I've been married four times. But it's okay

because it's two men.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally okay, Like ohay, hey girl, But which

is so crazy. They're like, not on my not, but

that's just so crazy.

Speaker 3: And she's like, if we should be like making things illegal,

can we make her weird eighties bangs like illegal? Because

why is she still rocking in these eighty bank eighties

banks in Like.

Speaker 1: She's she's stuck in a certain time. Yeah, but so,

I mean, some people would find this surprising. Others may

not find this surprising at all because after ROVERSUS weighed,

we all knew other rollings were coming to be revisited

as well, which.

Speaker 2: Sucks for real.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I yeah.

Speaker 3: I had a lot of people saying that I was

being dramatic that they're not going to comfor gay marriage,

you know, like my family that voted for Trump being like,

this is not a vote against you. I'm like, how

is this not a vote against me? I'm a lesbian

married to a lesbian Mexican American woman. You voted for

someone that fucking hates Mexicans and is literally trying to

take people who were born here and somehow get rid

of their citizenship and also get rid of gay marriage, like.

Speaker 2: Just women in general and just women's rights.

Speaker 4: I'm a woman, Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, crazy.

Speaker 3: So any who, last year, California voted to protect gay

marriage rights with Prop three, and that was a constitutional

amendment that I don't know. I think this word is

pronounced codify, but I think it should be codify, But

it's codify. So it codifies the right to marry regardless

of sex or race. So we are safe in California,

but other states are at risk of not being able

to get married if the Supreme Court decides to overturn

Obergefell versus Hodges and give it back to the states,

give the power back to the states to decide. Like,

think of all of the states that didn't want to

give gay people the right to marry in the first

place ten years ago.

Speaker 4: They're all they're just waiting. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: And so this would be obviously a huge step backwards

for our community and for the country as a whole.

And the fight for LGBTQ rights is not over, and

unfortunately still includes fighting for our right to marry that

we literally got ten years ago, and we have to

fight for it.

Speaker 4: Again like it's constant. So yeah, AnyWho, So this.

Speaker 1: Is this segment obviously is very close to both of

us being lesbian women, but especially for you because you

and who are married. So you guys got married into

twenty twenty three. I was gonna say two thousand and

three when I was thirteen. Yeah, you guys get married.

Speaker 2: Did you worry that you wouldn't be able to get

married under the Trump administration?

Speaker 4: Was that like the main Yes, Okay, that's kind of

like why we got married.

Speaker 3: I mean, like, we love each other and we knew

that we were going to like be together forever, but

we never like wanted to have a wedding and so

we were like engaged technically since twenty twenty, but we

were engaged in our hurts since twenty thirteen or whatever, right,

But like we decided to actually do it to just

Elope in twenty twenty three because we knew that the

Trump administration was going to probably happen again and we

were scared that they would take the right away before

we could do it.

Speaker 4: So so that is a big part of why we

did it.

Speaker 1: And let me just say you were valid for that

because yeah, people told me I was being dramatic, and

it was like we were You're like, really, was I dramatic? Yeah?

So what was your experience with PROP eight? You mentioned

you were eighteen at the time.

Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I it was.

Speaker 3: It was such a big guilt to me because I

remember I don't know if you remember this because you

were like a kid, but.

Speaker 2: I only remember it being like vote yes for propects,

the vote for stickers.

Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember everyone's saying Propy and I was like,

I have no idea what this is. So I asked

my mom if she was just like explaining to me,

and I was like, oh, that's crazy. Like well, I

mean obviously I was eight, but I was still like

that's crazy. Yes, it is crazy, because why do we care?

Speaker 3: Yes, I remember, and I saw someone like literally like

last year that still had a bumper sticker, Yes on

Propy bumper sticker, and it the bumper sticker was what

I remember seeing in two thousand and eight. It was

I feel like it was kind of yellow, but and

it had like a like a man and a woman

like stick figure or whatever, and it's like, yes on Propy,

protect traditional marriage or protect traditional families. And I was

like ew, And also I want to tell you in

two thousand and eight, this was when I I was

just a very strong ally.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say you were very upset.

Speaker 4: I was so upset even though it would not impact me.

Speaker 3: This was also the same time period where I found

out that some states didn't allow gay couples to adopt,

and I was really upset about it, and my stepdad

was like, well, I don't think gay couple should be

able to adopt. And I was like what, and he

was like, well, yeah, because it's not normal, like kids

should grow up with something normal.

Speaker 4: And I got really mad and I stormed upstairs and

like slammed the door.

Speaker 3: Anyway, like six months later, when I came out, he's like, oh,

is that why you were so mad?

Speaker 4: And I was like, well I would oh even it

didn't affect me. But I was extra mad because I

was like, oh, you don't think I deserve to have

a family.

Speaker 2: That's crazy. He's like, oh, that makes sense. Yeah, you

were just a lesbian, so that's what you were mad at.

Speaker 4: I was mad no matter what.

Speaker 3: Also, I thought it was crazy because and you know,

just because you have someone in your family that is

like gay or whatever doesn't mean that you are accepting,

but I would hope that he would have a better understanding.

Speaker 4: He has a trans brother.

Speaker 3: The transition like the eighties or nineties, and so I

thought he, of all people would be like you more

like accepting, but he wasn't.

Speaker 4: So anyway, Yeah, that I couldn't vote on it, and

I was shocked that it passed.

Speaker 1: So that is I mean, yeah, I don't blame you,

but that must Yeah, So I know it's kind of hard.

But do you have any advice to viewers on how

to survive the Trump administration as a woman and a lesbian.

Speaker 3: Well, my first advice is if you are thinking about

marrying your partner already, not if you just met somebody

in you're life, like let's go get married now. No,

but like if you've been together for a while and

you've been thinking, like we want to get married, you know,

for whatever reasons. If it's like legal reasons, that's completely valid.

That's a lot of why we got married, because like,

you know, why does a piece of paper matter so much?

We love each other, we know we're going to be

together forever, but like it does matter because it's like

we have a home together, we have animals together, we

I want to be the family that they call when

she's in the hospital, because we got in a car

accident and they were like technically not allowed to tell

me what was going on with her. They had to

ask her parents before we were married, so it was

like weird. So anyway, do it if you are already

contemplating it, because they might take it away, especially if

you're in a state not like California where it's been protected.

And other than that, I feel like we just have

to keep having hope and like sharing our truth and.

Speaker 4: You know, being like honesty and not.

Speaker 3: I talked about a lot about being afraid of like

hate crimes and stuff, which I am afraid, but I

also think it's important if you're safe to be like

the be the voice, and like, especially like for younger people,

to them maybe even more scared, Like just.

Speaker 4: Try to have hope.

Speaker 2: I guess that's hard, but try to have hope.

Speaker 1: Yeah, this this is really the only thing we can

do and survive these next years if you know, yeah,

we'll see.

Speaker 2: It doesn't turn into a dictatorship.

Speaker 3: Guys. I know everybody keeps being like, oh, it's only

three more years, and I'm like, sorry, I don't have.

Speaker 4: Eight hats. Yes, I don't think they're going to give

it up. So anyhow, that's I hope y. Did you

have any other thoughts that you wanted to share about this.

I don't want to put you on this, I think no.

Speaker 1: Just I think what you said was good, especially if

you are in a state that is there's a fear

that you might not be able to get married if

gay marriage the ruling is overturned, especially if you are

already thinking about it, like Caitlyn said, don't.

Speaker 2: Just you know, guard there somebody friendly, you know.

Speaker 1: But I think that is good advice, and just to

if you are in a safe space, that's important to

be able to be who you are and to use your.

Speaker 2: Voice and use your use your privilege. If you're a

white person, hit it does not matter. You love privilege.

Speaker 4: I use whatever privilege that you have.

Speaker 2: Exactly.

Speaker 3: That was another thing that I've been hearing about in California,

white women putting like Mexican flags or something to distract

Ice because Ice is obviously being racist. Like they're just like, oh,

this person has a Mexican flag. Oh, this person is brown.

Oh this person is listening to Mexican music.

Speaker 2: Oh, they're speaking Spanish.

Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so it's yeah, so I need to Well, no,

I can't do that because my wife is Mexican. I

was like, oh no, you can't do my car. No,

that wouldn't work. But never mind, but use your privilege

for good exactly.

Speaker 3: So AnyWho, this episode might have ran a little long,

but I think we covered really important topics, even though

we also covered a movie we hated. Yeah, thank you

so much for tuning in to but I'm a lesbian.

keep this lesbian led pod thriving. If you listen on

Apple podcasts, please leave us a rating and review because

our reviews are like really low there because, like I've

I understand, But.
