2893: The Talk w/ Andrea Allan

[Keith]

You’re deliberately being aloof. I guarantee you have a personal story or 5 in mind.

She can say on a first date, she can say in 10 years. C’mon, Goose.

It’s not exact science but I get it.

Past two shows with Andrea have been really insightful. Good work and thanks for the personal stories/ honesty.

Of course she *can* say whenever she wants.

When is it socially acceptable to say tho?

Because obviously right now, almost a year after your separation, is too soon.

Good luck out there.

What personal story do you think im hiding from you?

I once dated a 40something year old white divorcee who I was just fuckin but he was so irresistible that I just had to pressure him into a relationship before he was ready. Everyone called me a silly, manipulative woman who didn't know what she wanted.

Lolz is that the "story" you want

I'm sorry that curiosity is so novel to you.

You have a lot in common with one of the women I was talking about. You’re not nessisarily lying. But you are.

Of course you’re relating this to a personal story, or you’re a little insane.

Just take a minute. No sarcasm. Are you sure?

If so, then think: How? How am I a grown adult that can’t understand this and I was also on neither side of it ever in my life?

What do you think I'm not understanding?

Just because I asked additional questions doesn't mean I didn't understand the answers to the first ones.

Is the only reason to be interested in something because you share a personal story with it? Why do you think that? There are people who are just simply curious.

I can and do spend all day asking questions about things that have nothing to do with my personal life. That's kinda my jam.

Human behavior and expectations are interesting af. Especially as it comes to differences in dating.

I'm asking these questions because reading people's opinions on them is interesting.

Its equally interesting how you think that your answers/opinions are absolutes and that I'd have to be insane to have different answers/opinions. And instead of ernestly inquiring further you are content with just thinking I'm crazy, "up to something" or in my feelings about some baggage I haven't let go.

[I wanna hear the other side of these experiences so badly. It's too easy to hear one side and assign the other a bunch of negative attributes....but... I know, when people vent they just wanna be validated. So I get why you're annoyed Keith]

Tomorrow I'm going to spend 8+ hours trying to answer questions about an Alzheimer's patient's genetic code.

I don't know anyone with Alzheimer's. Not one person.

Still interested. Still worth learning about. Still gonna ask and try to answer the questions.

Great! So you get it!

I must have misread.

Fantastic!


You're not mind-numbing to talk to at all. You're so easy breezy that I'm sure these people that are losing their minds won't want to jump off a fuckin' bridge tomorrow.

We all can't be comedians, Keith.
