I Need a Date for the Wedding
WANTED: Discreet, dysfunctional pair of millennials seek open-minded audience for casual encounters and shenanigans. Gibbs is an engaged academic with a tenuous grip on her sanity. Her hobbies include wedding planning, whittling, weightlifting, and ranting. Shah is an unattached artist with a compromised moral compass. His hobbies include anything toxic you can think of. We are open to anyone over the age of 18 who won’t mind sharing us with their friends (and family, if that’s what you’re into). Flexibility is a plus (physically or ethically). Must be comfortable with: explicit language, hysteria, chest hair, arts and crafts, primates, cosplay and cross dressing. Sound like your type of party? Then don't be shy... we're only creepy sometimes.
I Need a Date for the Wedding
S2E9 | Astrology and AO3
Shah would like to remind you that if anyone writes smutty fanfiction about him and Gibbs, he’ll read it on air. Gibbs would like to remind you that she’ll disembowel anyone who does that.
Join Gibbs and Shah as they celebrate besting their first season's episode count with a comic, cosmic discussion about their astrological signs. Gibbs, a proud Aries, questions her sign’s proclaimed bravery. Shah, a skeptical Aquarius, casts doubt on his sign’s proclivity to advocate for underdogs.
Enjoy the kind of roasting you can only get from friends as close and idiotic as these two as they scrutinize each other’s charts and explore their compatibility with each other and Gibbs’ fiancé. Grab your headphones and prepare for some celestial shade! (do people still say “throwing shade?”)
We need a new intro.
Speaker 2:Welcome anyone and everyone listening out there. I'm Shah. I'm Gibbs. She's trying to grow out, he's really not. And this is I Need A Date For the Wedding.
Speaker 1:Who's gonna catch the cake?
Speaker 2:Who's gonna catch the SDI?
Speaker 1:You didn't ask, but you'll find out all that and more. Don't be shy, because we're really not.
Speaker 2:You probably shouldn't be listening to this at work.
Speaker 1:So this is a momentous time in this show. Ba-ba-ba Gibbs has finally listened to the show.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and then I fell asleep though halfway through the first episode.
Speaker 1:How do you feel about the half that you heard?
Speaker 2:I don't sound like a real person. I sound like I'm putting it on or something.
Speaker 1:Your accent or your persona.
Speaker 2:Accent.
Speaker 1:I can confirm that that is how you sound 24-7.
Speaker 2:Which is bananas, that anybody can tell her. I don't know how my partner does it, because I talk to him all the time.
Speaker 1:That's one reason. Reason number two as of last episode, we are officially one episode past the amount of episodes we were able to get out in season one. We are officially past. Season one was only seven episodes. Last episode was episode eight. Yay, alright. Gibbs has so much fun introducing the show that she really wanted to give it another shot. So Gibbs, take it away.
Speaker 2:Hey guys, come on in. I've worn the suits for you.
Speaker 1:Uh, you gonna know what's funny, as someone who has visited Gibbs's home. That's literally just what she said. If you found yourself in a situation in which you showed up on her doorstep, invited, that's what you could expect.
Speaker 2:But also don't ever do that Okay we're making progress, better than last time. Hi, uh, hi again. This is Gibbs and that over there. That's shame. You said it. This is our podcast. I need a date for a wedding.
Speaker 1:It's the instead of uh, but you know.
Speaker 2:I get it confused sometimes. I know it's one of the two. I need a date for the wedding.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure this is episode nine. I am 100% sure this is season two, so let's roll with that. I don't quite know how to describe, uh, the topic of today's episode we're talking about astrology.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we might talk about personality stuff, personality quizzes, but I don't think we have time for it. Okay, so I'm just kind of going to go through this. I'm going to take the lead on this one people, okay so we're not going to tell you our birthdays. You're going to have to figure it out.
Speaker 1:Oh pause. No, hold it, Fuck this. No, just so y'all know. Gibbs has refused to tell me when her birthday is. I've told you, to be fair, I have told you and because of today's topic, I haven't narrowed down to a certain set of days in that month, but she refuses to tell me the actual day. I even asked her fiance and she went out of her way to tell her fiance to not tell me.
Speaker 2:You think he's going to go against me. He's going to live with me.
Speaker 1:So I just want y'all to know that Gibbs has refused to reveal to me what her when her birthday is as a point of contention in our very long friendship.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's just start with sun signs, and my is. I'm.
Speaker 1:Aries and I am an Aquarius.
Speaker 2:And then I just wanted to kind of like read to you our little synopsis for today. It says you and sham both put your emotions out there for others to see, which is wildly inaccurate.
Speaker 1:first of all, I suppose one could make the argument that's what this show is.
Speaker 2:Anger's an emotion.
Speaker 1:You've most definitely put your anger out there. Your anger is a lot closer to the surface.
Speaker 2:in my eyes, it's above this, it's out of the water.
Speaker 1:If you were to listen to this show and its entirety, it's very clear that you get irritated a lot easier than I do.
Speaker 2:But to be fair, it's also very irritating yeah.
Speaker 1:That's also very clear.
Speaker 2:Because, like I know that you're like baiting me sometimes and I fall for it every fucking time. Aries are known for being explosive.
Speaker 1:All right, so tell us more about Aries, your sun sign.
Speaker 2:So the sun sign is supposed to be about your identity and your ego. So my sun sign isn't Aries and it means that I am fundamentally assertive, persistent and courageous, naturally competitive, fiercely independent. How do you feel about those? I don't think I'm courageous or competitive.
Speaker 1:Do you want to?
Speaker 2:read yours, or do you want me to read yours?
Speaker 1:I'll read mine. I can read I pursued an English major. Okay, I was about to say I am an English major.
Speaker 2:I pursued.
Speaker 1:As I said, I am an Aquarius and with this lovely app that will go unnamed because they are not paying us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no money, no name.
Speaker 1:What they say about my sun sign. My sun being an Aquarius means that I am fundamentally unconventional and anti Comfortable, dissenting or a string from the norm. Your intellectual talent of abstraction is oriented towards pushing the boundaries of what seems reasonable. You carry a lot on your shoulders and have a need to fight for the underdog. I feel like all of that.
Speaker 2:It tracks man. It tracks nothing to say here.
Speaker 1:The one thing that I might disagree with slightly is the assertion that I have a need to fight for the underdog.
Speaker 2:You might root for the underdog, but I don't think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not going to lift a finger, but I will root for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you won't even do it verbally, it'll just be like in your heart.
Speaker 1:There's not a whole lot of fighting me. There's none. What I'm here for you is moral support.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in the background, but if things go wrong, you're about to dip.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, far in the background, silently. That's my support for you, but I do hope everything works out for you, underdog. So just to be upfront about this I am someone who does not put much stock in astrology.
Speaker 2:I do no-transcript. So now we're on to Moon For the Moon it is about your emotions and your moods and feelings, and what is your Moon sign?
Speaker 1:Aries, I guess, whose Moon sign is also an Aries, this guy?
Speaker 2:So both of our Moons are in Aries, meaning that our emotional self is independent, energetic and enthusiastic and we have a tendency to feel inadequate and overcompensate just because failure is a possibility. And it's in our third house, meaning we find security and safety through the things you know and are familiar with. Opinions. Now please tell me.
Speaker 1:I will say that last line makes a lot of sense for me. I am a creature of habit. I am not the one to try new things. I know this, I am not one to the only time you will ever see me trying something new, going somewhere new, doing anything that is out of the norm. Gibbs is probably right. There beside me. Gibbs is my real life security blame.
Speaker 2:I'm your emotional support animal. I don't feel this one a lot in my heart.
Speaker 1:Out of all of that, what stood out to you as being the thing that you were like yeah, this doesn't necessarily mesh with me.
Speaker 2:I don't have the feelings of inadequacy and overcompensation, because failure is a possibility.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the thing that for me, as well as Gibbs will tell you and has told you on air over and over again.
Speaker 2:I think very highly of myself, so highly I would say, some would say most all would say too highly.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't. So that's one. I wouldn't say everyone, because I wouldn't say that. So I would not say I have a tendency at all to feel inadequate or to overcompensate. We both feel like our sun signs, our respective sun signs, were very, very accurate, and neither of us really feel our moon signs. So let's move on to the next one, which is our ascendant or rising Minus in Capricorn Guess who's ascendant is also in Capricorn. Oh, it's twins. Again, indeed, we are.
Speaker 2:Okay, you read this one, your ascendant.
Speaker 1:your rising sign is the mask you present to people. It can be seen in your personal style and how you come off to people when you first meet. Some say it becomes less relevant as you get older. It changes every two hours. So if it doesn't make sense, reconfirm your birth time to be short. So since our rising signs are both in Capricorn, that means that we come across as conservative, serious and rational, perhaps even grave. We seem to make decisions in a responsible, practical and prudent way. Our ambitions may come off as opportunistic.
Speaker 2:Also, to be fair, I'm pretty sure this is right for me, this sign, but also my parents are not 100% sure what time I was born.
Speaker 1:Okay, that is the elephant in the room I was not sure how to bring up. If you are just joining us in this journey, that is this show.
Speaker 2:I just I have really negligent parents that just don't know.
Speaker 1:Gives us origins are a fascinating tale for another day. Suffice it to say she is not 100% sure when she was born, which is a question I've always wondered whenever you would bring up astrology. And hey, now I finally have the answer. So I'll say this is very accurate for me in my work life. In my work life, I'd say people would say I come across as very serious. I value competency and efficiency in the workplace, even if it's a job I don't particularly like or care for. In my everyday life, my personal life, I wouldn't say people experience me as being grave or conservative or serious or anything like that. I actually am the whimsical one in the group here.
Speaker 2:I'm the whimsical one.
Speaker 1:No, the hell, you're not.
Speaker 2:Yes, I am. This doesn't apply to me so much because I code switches every human being on this planet does but I always come off as whimsical because that's my true self. I'm not great with incompetency in the workplace. I have little patience for it, little patience for most things.
Speaker 1:Honestly, if I fuck up, that's my bad. I will go fix it. But if you fuck up in a way that I have to fix, I lose my fucking mind over that because I'm like you're now impeding my life, you're wasting my time, and I say that as someone who happily wastes a good time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, every fucking week. I can't fucking stand it. Okay, so we're at Mercury, which determines just kind of how you communicate with other people and also how you process information, how you learn. So my Mercury is in Pisces, which means my intellect is emotionally driven, dreamy and a bit in the clouds, and I'm a good listener, but I have a tendency for white lies and I prefer face-to-face communication. And it's in my second house. How do you feel about all that?
Speaker 1:No, I concur.
Speaker 2:I don't think that my intellect is emotionally driven.
Speaker 1:Not at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I also don't really do white lies, I don't really do lying a lot.
Speaker 1:I don't find a need for it. Yeah, I love the two of us. I'm the one who's more likely to Tell you something that is not, for shabbs, entirely accurate, and I also have no need to do it. I just do it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's not like you're doing it to like spare people's feelings or something. It's just like some twisted thing in you that's like maybe I should lie about this, what? If I just didn't tell the truth right now, Like why not? Why not do that? Yeah, you're like, what's stopping me? I could say anything I want to.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're speaking my language right now, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but I feel like we just really we do know each other, we do indeed which I hate sometimes, but it's fine. Okay, what's your mercury? Please tell me.
Speaker 1:Okay, my mercury. My mercury is in Aquarius. My mercury being in Aquarius means that my intellect is insightful, unconventional and super meta. I have a rich imagination that allows me to think in a way that is abstracted from daily life. I enjoy intellectual banter, though I sometimes push my ideas onto others. It's in my first house, meaning I am curious about and inclined to analyze myself in self image, and I feel like all of that is 100% accurate.
Speaker 2:Okay, so we're at Venus now, which is how and what you love is kind of the whole vibe of it. It's how you express affection and about the qualities that you're attracted to. So I have another one in Aries Seems to kind of be pretty dominant in my chart and that means that I guess my romantic side is enthusiastic, impulsive and direct. I'm supposed to fall in love quickly and out of love just as fast, tend to be forthright and direct. I make a lot of inside jokes physical contact and eye contact and that I alternate between seeming demanding and disinterested.
Speaker 1:It's also in my third house, literally the only thing there that strikes me is not being particularly accurate is the thing about eye contact and touching. Besides that, all of that is accurate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because, as we have discussed before, touches my yuck language.
Speaker 1:From the outside in. That rings very, very true, with the exception of eye contact and touching. Do you feel like that's true?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess. Yeah, no, it does, I guess. I never thought of it like that. I'd like to think that I'm coy and coquettish, and I'm absolutely not.
Speaker 1:So my Venus is in Capricorn, meaning that my romantic side is somewhat repressed in the name of responsibility and rationality. Fuck you laughing at that. Sometimes it seems like I don't care about love. I'm extremely cautious and appreciate stability. Also, it's in my 12th house, meaning that for me, love is often expressed in privacy, secrets and introspection. What are you laughing?
Speaker 2:at I just I find it difficult to believe that you have feelings for someone other than yourself. I guess.
Speaker 1:That is an interesting thought and a lot to unpack.
Speaker 2:We don't have time for it today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't mean to hit so hard.
Speaker 2:sorry, I'll pull my punches next time, okay. I think the part about like stability Tracks.
Speaker 1:I don't need instability, drama, chaos in my love life.
Speaker 2:You got it in your mental health.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Now I tend to get all of that stuff in my love life, but that's just, you know, the luck of the draw, I guess could happen to me?
Speaker 2:No, it's your bad choices.
Speaker 1:Just luck of the draw could happen to anyone, but I don't enjoy it, I don't like it, I don't need it. All right, so we are now transitioning to Mars. Mars is the planet of aggression. It determines how you assert yourself, take action, and the energy that surrounds you, particularly in your sex life, your ambitiousness and when you're angry. My Mars is in Capricorn and, according to this, that means I assert myself in a way that is responsible and efficient. Huh, I think things through very intentionally. I'm highly motivated by ambition and my rationality sometimes seems soulless.
Speaker 1:Check, check check, it's in my 12,000, meaning I put a lot of energy into privacy, secrets and introspection.
Speaker 2:Ah, check.
Speaker 1:Again, I have no issue with any statement that was made there and I don't think anyone who knows me would take issue with any statement that was made there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that feels, it all feels like right in my heart about you. Okay, my Mars is in cancer, so it means I assert myself in a way that's somewhat emotional and passive, aggressive, and I push things forward only when I feel safe and secure, and that also it's in my six thousandths.
Speaker 1:I don't know how I feel about that as someone who is the target of yeah yeah, that does not strike me as being particularly true to form in terms of how you express aggression and assert yourself and how you are when you're angry. In my experience, Gibbs gets irritated easily and that irritation can very, very quickly boil into fury. There's no passive aggressiveness about it. It's pretty direct and then it dissipates.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because then I feel better, you feel better, we're all good.
Speaker 1:I think more people would describe me as passive aggressives than you. Not too many human beings on this planet have ever heard me raise my voice in anger. My anger is cold and I can only think of one person on this planet who really kind of gets me to the point where I get hot and I kind of explode and get angry with them. It's actually a mutual friend I have with Gibbs and she has been present many times, sometimes literally the person in between us as we are raging at each other. And because I know she will be listening to this, I just want to say looks like a human fucking bobblehead doll, Don't be saying shit about her like that.
Speaker 1:With your big fucking head. That's not true and your afro that makes you look like an eraser. You look like a bobblehead doll, just because I know you're going to be listening to this.
Speaker 2:I hope she beats the shit out of you, because I know she can. I would pay money to watch the shit out of you. Okay, so Jupiter is next and it's one of the two social planets. It rules idealism, optimism and expansion. My Jupiter is in Libra, which means that I grow and find understanding through harmony, balance and seeing both sides to a situation, and it's in my ninth house, meaning I find success through the creation of philosophy, faith, education, politics and travel. I don't know.
Speaker 1:You've traveled, you are in academia and you are very Catholic, as you've said before.
Speaker 2:I'm very Catholic. That's a fact about me.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's a natural fit, but you can find ways to make this fit.
Speaker 2:for sure, your descriptions are fitting you better than they're fitting.
Speaker 1:Yeah it was just so odd. My Jupiter is in Virgo, meaning that I grow and find understanding through careful thought, goal setting and hard work. This does ring true for me. I spend a lot of time thinking about things and setting goals for myself, sometimes years in the future. Now do I necessarily dedicate myself very diligently and working hard? It's subjective To the best of my mentally ill abilities.
Speaker 2:but Because I feel like also, like a lot of years, talk about you being thoughtful or diligent or thinking things through a lot. I think that's super true for you. I think that's the thing with you. Sometimes you try to give a laissez-faire vibe, but it's not laissez-faire.
Speaker 1:I don't know the opposite of laissez-faire. It's probably another French term. Moving on to Saturn, my Saturn is an Aquarius. Another Aquarius, oh, mine too. Saturn is the other social planet. Saturn rules responsibility, restrictions, limits, boundaries, fears and self-discipline. So since my Saturn is an Aquarius, that means I struggle with obscenity, a superiority complex and being overly detached. So, as my social planet, I will address this as how people perceive me. I think most people would probably think that I'm arrogant.
Speaker 2:Because you are. I'm really not. You really are. When I asked you one word to describe yourself, you said gifted. How's that? Gifted motherfucker?
Speaker 1:I could see people saying that I have a superiority complex.
Speaker 2:Because they have.
Speaker 1:They have a need. I would say that most people who interact with me experience me as being a bit detached.
Speaker 2:Okay, but then the bananas thing, though, is that mine is the same, and it's also in my first house.
Speaker 1:My experience of Gibbs this is the social planet. I could see very easily people describing her as obstinate. I would not necessarily say she has a superiority complex. I could very easily see why people would experience her as being detached as well To what a three. So let's wrap that up so that we can get to the real meat and potatoes. Fun part of this episode, da-da-da-da, the compatibility part. Yeah, I have to pee again.
Speaker 2:I'm so excited I have to pee again.
Speaker 1:So, while Giz is off in the bathroom, I will take this opportunity to thank Olivia K and the parkers for our theme music, because we forgot to do so earlier in the episode. Alright, here we are. Ha man, so excited this is gonna be so much fun.
Speaker 2:I know this. We got some hot takes.
Speaker 1:So the compatibility of our sun signs. The sun determines your ego, identity and role in life.
Speaker 2:My sun is an.
Speaker 1:Aquarius meaning I am fundamentally unconventional and anti Gives this sun. As an Aries, meaning she is fundamentally assertive, persistent and courageous, naturally competitive and fiercely independent. Now the compatibility between Aries and Aquarius says this pairing can be reveling. It can be revolutionary. You both tend towards the unconventional and exhibit rebellious streaks. Their orientation towards action can help ground your abstract ideas. Your shared idealism gives you common ground for fruitful conversations and debate. Together you can save the world.
Speaker 2:I think it's really interesting. I don't think we're gonna save the world together, because we're not motivated enough to do that, but I do think that I'm more action-oriented. I'm the doer, you're the thinker.
Speaker 1:I've explained that to people. Our process, our dynamic, our work life is me being like hey, Gibbs, these are my dreams, Make it happen.
Speaker 2:Okay, moon. So moon rules emotions, moods and feelings. Both of our moons are in Aries, so our emotional self is independent, energetic and enthusiastic. And then, for compatibility, this short one says you can instinctively empathize with each other's moods and feelings. I don't know how often we empathize, I guess because I don't often think of us as feeling people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll say we can instinctively gauge each other's moods and feelings. Whether or not the other person's feelings impact our feelings is a different conversation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'd be like, hmm, this is in a depressive state today. Good thing I got my 12 hours of sleep last night so I can deal with this. Glad I'm not feeling like that, all right.
Speaker 1:Next, yes, mars. Oh, I'm so, so, so, so, so happy that I get to read Mars, because this is going to make gifts so uncomfortable and I'm going to take some. I read ahead Mars is the planet of aggression. It determines how you assert yourself, take action and the energy that surrounds you, particularly in your sex life. My Mars is in Capricorn gives us Mars is in cancer and, in terms of our compatibility, our passion and sexuality are extremely compatible.
Speaker 2:That was down.
Speaker 1:This might be a good time to inform any of our new listeners.
Speaker 2:We're not fucking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which I feel like if you listen, if you've actually listened to the show, that's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2:It's gotta be.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I would never be in a relationship with somebody I have this much disdain for.
Speaker 1:It's not. I've never been involved in any form or fashion, and it's been that way since day one. Like we just instantly, kind of just fell into this.
Speaker 2:I say sibling, sibling-esque.
Speaker 1:If that vibe didn't come across to you, let's make that clear.
Speaker 2:Don't ship us. This is not a ship.
Speaker 1:Although the offer still stands, if anyone wants to write some. No smutty fan fiction. No, I will happily accept it and read it all If I see anything on AO3. I don't know what sort of sponsorship could be done.
Speaker 2:By AO3?.
Speaker 1:I'd love to we could somehow partner with AO3, man. They have contributed so much to my understanding of women.
Speaker 2:Yeah, mine too, no. Okay, so Jupiter, social planet, rules idealism, optimism and expansion. Mine is in Libra and then Shams is in Bergo and then for compatibility for us. So we grow and dream in different ways and may find that you have to do some work to understand each other. I think that we grow and dream in different ways and I think that there's little work to put into understanding each other.
Speaker 1:I feel like we are probably both okay with our understanding level of one another.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't wish to understand more, but sometimes you talk to me and then I do, and I wish I didn't.
Speaker 1:Now Saturn. Saturn is the other social planet. Saturn rules responsibility, restrictions, limits, boundaries, fears and self-discipline. We both have our Saturn in Aquarius. Now, what that means for us is that our struggles are similar and we likely can help each other work through them. We probably could, are we?
Speaker 2:inclined to. Yeah, we have the ability, the capability.
Speaker 1:We are also both very independent people who self-correct.
Speaker 2:If you try to give me advice, I'd be like shut your fucking mouth, Look at your own life, idiot.
Speaker 1:Wait, who did that come from?
Speaker 1:I just imagine that you did On this app. It has a section about the sort of person I am in relationships, the sort of person who's compatible with me. It says with my particular chart. It says that I think my relationships need to be planned out and committed because I have a realistic vision of relationships. But when I'm feeling off, I become a dictator. This makes your true needs almost impossible to meet, despite your real desire to grow, you've never been able to make the other person believe that you need them. You want a romantic partner, yet you also insist on proving how competent you are on your own.
Speaker 1:I think love should be practical and reliable. Deep down, intimacy scares you. You compensate for this fear by keeping other doors open. You manipulate them while smiling sweetly. When this doesn't get you what you want, you become a tyrant. The two things that are wildly off to me are the idea that when things are feeling off, I become a dictator or a tyrant. When I don't get what I want, I would say just the opposite. Instead of becoming super controlling, I just distance myself.
Speaker 2:There's no part of you that's controlling or brash like that.
Speaker 1:And the next heading is how I behave in relationships when things go wrong. My relationships can start to feel too serious and I don't know how to open myself up to deep and genuine love. That's why I confuse predictability with relationship success. Rather than admitting I want love, I make them believe that I don't need them. I've built myself image around my capacity to be competent and cautious. I am unemotional. I start to micromanage them. When things feel hard, I get controlling. If they counterattacked, I perform frost. I'm not difficult. I just need someone who will hold me steady while encouraging me to let them go.
Speaker 2:I don't see the part with micromanaging, though, but I can see the point where if they counterattack, then you'll get icy.
Speaker 1:That is extremely correct in how I handle conflict in relationships as I immediately distance myself. I refuse, I refuse to engage with you in that way. The idea of micromanaging and controlling people has zero fucking interest to me. That is not appealing to me in the slightest. I have my hands full trying to coordinate my own life. I have no desire to micromanage somebody else's fucking life. In fact, to be absolutely honest with you, that is the complaint that I've had in relationships. I'm so kind of hands off that they feel like I don't care. Now, as I am single and I am still in need of a date for Gives' wedding, here is the most important part of this entire episode to me. This is the part where I discuss the sort of person who is most compatible for me.
Speaker 2:Apparently.
Speaker 1:I need to be with someone who demands that I push myself to new heights. I need someone who will be charmed by my emotional intelligence. I need someone who is. Excuse me, I read that wrong.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Instead, it didn't say that I need someone who will be charmed by emotional intelligence.
Speaker 2:It says you need someone to teach you.
Speaker 1:No, it says. I need someone who will be charmed by my emotional impatience, which I prefer my reading, just so you know.
Speaker 2:No, I prefer the real one.
Speaker 1:I need someone who isn't afraid to challenge me. I need someone who can see right through my temper tantrums and also knows the difference between my inner fire and my emotional flare ups.
Speaker 2:You don't like a seem like a person that has any type of fire.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely so, where it says I need someone who knows the difference between my inner fire and my emotional flare ups, if you replace that with the kind of coldness and icy distance. I need someone who is able to understand my general need for distance, the difference between that and my cold. I'm upset at you distance. There is a difference between my general need for space and I'm upset at you space. So we've talked about the sort of person who would be ideal for me.
Speaker 2:So basic ass bitch.
Speaker 1:You have that person. You've been with your partner for I believe you said seven years.
Speaker 2:Almost eight.
Speaker 1:So this person is obviously a good fit for you. What about the two of you? Makes you so compatible?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:As the person who proposed you don't know why you're compatible.
Speaker 2:We just vibe. Do you know Vibes so hard? No, I don't.
Speaker 1:I have no frame of reference for.
Speaker 2:Vibing with anybody. Yeah, I know, I'm aware.
Speaker 1:I'm aware I have no experience and therefore no frame of reference for a successful romantic partnership or making connections with another human being.
