Omg, that TikTok account you mentioned, is amazing, Poodle! Wow. Wow. Wow.

Laura Taylor

I'm very here for a Quantum Leap podcast!

Why can’t Ramses just…pull out?

Val McCue

Y’all, Tyler “soft family annihilated” to get on the show! The more I hear about it, the more he physically resembles homicidal thug football player Aaron Hernandez lol

Solange Crawford

I cannot stand Ramses...this whole non pleasurable sex with a condom talk is 🤮. What an asshole. Why is IT ALWAYS the man's needs that come first, even with the most "evolved" men. Gross.

Jennifer Riester

Even this cold, dead heart is rooting for Taylor and Garrett. I see a lot of myself in Taylor. I'm joining Mattie on the prairie dog commune if they mess this up!

Hannah is AWFUL. Even her own parents were cringing at her shitty attitude. Nick is definitely a case of arrested development (who can’t boil pasta water?), but at the end of the day he’s a *kind* person. Life skills can be learned, but Hannah’s insecurity and cruelty seems like her core personality.

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰
>>151949308

Yeah that really changed by viewpoint of him. If he truly can’t have sex without a condom, and doesn’t want kids for years…he can get a vasectomy and then get it reversed when they’re ready for kids.

Ryce
>>151955452

The minute Hannah cracked the joke about being so awesome and her mom was genuinely confused, “Are you serious?” I knew the exact type of dull as dishwater, posting Minions memes to her fb timeline, type of woman Hannah’s mom was. Why are moms like this?? And how do they create people who manage to have senses of humor??

Ryce
>>151955452

Don’t get me wrong, Hannah is a mean girl. Her mom is also a useless human being who kicked her child out when she was 18. I was shocked that Hannah speaks to her parents at all.

Ryce
>>151949308

That’s not how a vasectomy works. Male fertility declines over time the longer they have the V. While it *can* be reversed, so can a tubal, and both are to be viewed as permanent.

Ryce
>>151945096

Plenty of us are out here with our pull-out babies to show you why 😄 They should explore fertility awareness method, which does work, even though it still involves condoms.

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰
>>151955452

True. I can she how Hannah had to develop a hard shell, but I still don’t think she’s ready for a relationship, at least not with Nick.

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰
>>151949308

I just think it’s shitty to refuse to wear a condom, forcing her to get on hormonal birth control. And at the same time he absolutely doesn’t want a child yet. So he’d push her to get an abortion if she got pregnant, which she seemingly doesn’t want to do. He is putting his dick ahead of everything else.

Michelle Martinez Logsdon
>>151955452

I think there is waaaaay more to the story about Hannah getting kicked out at 18. We have no idea how Hannah was behaving or possibly disrespecting her family and their home. The other siblings seem fine. And the way both of the parents were reacting to her, tells me that Hannah is more than a handful.

Claire Pancerz
>>151949308

Well, TBH, she could use a diaphragm if she didn’t want to be on anything hormonal. I totally understand why she wouldn’t want to get on the pill, but there are other options. That said, his royal highness should be open to wearing a condom as well.

M T
>>151945096

Oh totally agree- I’m just like there are other options for HIM to explore, not just all on her

M T
>>151949308

Came here to say this- YES! You should NEVER expect for a reversal to work

Julie K
>>151946935

As an aside, the Ryan Murphy Aaron Hernandez show isn’t awful-the guy who plays Hernandez is really good

Ashley Janes

Dancing Queen is now in my head, lol. Did Mattie’s father jump from Alexa to Apple?

Michele

I love Quantum Leap too! Amazing show.

Jennifer Riester

One of the first divorces I handled was two young people that was completely mutual. They were so excited when the judge granted the divorce that they hugged. They were wonderful to work with throughout the process.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>151955452

I was wondering the opposite - how do such nice parents create such a mean daughter. Even the sons seem nice. It’s so confusing to me.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>151945096

And I’m here with my IUD baby but never had an issue with the pull-out method lol. You never know

Gemma Ryhanen

I *need* to know how Hannah came from that lovely family. Make it make sense. Because I loved them. I couldn’t handle even talking to her IRL. Like Mattie I’d be so turned off by the meanness. It’s not even funny a little bit either.

Lisa Thomas

When did we start judging how manly a man is by their ability to mount a TV or not? Both Marissa and Hannah mentioned it. Am I just completely out of the loop or is this a thing?

Free2B

I am a straight female who had a High School boyfriend (whom I had sex with for the first time). then a 2 boyfriends through college and a year after college until meeting the man I married for 20 years that I thought was loyal, true, and genuine. We divorced in 2020 due to his many many many affairs and compulsive lying through the 20 years, of marriage. (BTW, I realize that I was listening to his words and not noticing his actions, ignoring the things and feelings and intuition that I felt and wanting to see the person, I wished he was instead of the person he actually was. It took me having a seizure, a very wise counselor, explaining to me the reality of the situation that every time we came to his office, the story changed. Once we finally separated, I changed the locks on the house and was able to gain perspective, I saw the error of my ways. ). However, back to the point… Now I have experienced Dating and relationships in my late 40s. To answer your last question, nothing has changed for me from HS - age 47, straight men promising they will happily use a condom if they can have sex with me. I have never had sex with a man who put a condom on a.k.a. for me and didn’t ask to take it off, and even in one instance slip off the condom (w/o my consent) because they just can’t cum with a condom on!!! I am so sick of straight males who think they’re entitled to stick their mess in me unprotected and ruin my experience. God knows where that thing has been!! I have never had a partner keep their goddamn word. It is so fun being a single female, no matter what stage in life🤯🤮🥷 I’m finally at a place where The only person I feel like I can trust is myself and I’m less lonely than I’ve ever been💕. But I have to say it is really hard to trust a straight man. Its happened to me from 15-47. If They want it, they will say anything to get it and always ask to take the condom off! Don’t worry I’m in Therapy trying to learn how to choose better people right now. I’m just waiting it out and not engaging. God I wish I was gay.!! But unfortunately, I just really like the D, but not the people that are attached to them! I refuse to lose hope, but I’m gonna be super discerning about who I share my body with. This is my reality. Let me know if anyone else has experienced this as a straight female dealing with straight males.?

Alyssa Holland

I think the problem with Hannah for me is that there’s no affection or kindness behind her “jokes.” It’s always said with contempt or anger. If you contrast this with Taylor and Garrett, who also jab around, they seem to be grounded in affection. The bickering from Hannah points to an unwillingness to be vulnerable. She has refused to be vulnerable since leaving the pods and I think she needs therapy and about 5 more years before she needs to think weddings. I know people think this is cute and playful, but it’s aggressive.

Alyssa Holland
>>151949308

I’m so mad at him for his performative feminist attitude like “I don’t want to force you to take birth control but I won’t wear a condom.” What a disappointment.

Nicole Winchester

I would listen to a Quantum Leap podcast! And I do an occasional Star Trek stream! Invite me!!!

Enterprise is eh. I liked Discovery a lot, and there is a gay couple! One is from Rent, the other is Ricky from My So Called Life and he's HOT

Natalie Duarte

You can see Ramses’ religious upbringing with how he lectures people. He was inadvertently telling her to take the Pill. It’s a problem because it has a multitude of side effects, & over time can increase the risk of cancer. A friend of mine developed cervical cancer after using the Pill for a long time. I had to stop mine because it made my chronic health issue (endometriosis) worse, as well as having depressive episodes on it. It’s a complex issue. But whoever is going to take the pill, it should be their choice if they want to go down that course or not. These two aren’t going to work out.

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰

I tend more towards Ramses’ views on the military, but I think he is too stubborn in his views. Especially after meeting her mom. I can TOTALLY understand why Marissa wanted to join the military after growing up in that family. It seems like life was hard and chaotic, and she didn’t have a lot of opportunities. The military promises structure, predictability, and financial help with education. Of course that would appeal to her!! I also think it’s one thing to critique an institution and another to vilify the people that are a part of it. I wonder how he would feel if someone judged his faith in a Christian God because of the actions of a fundamentalist church. Marissa knows that his belief in that God doesn’t mean he co-signs the actions of every church institution. He should extend the same intellectual empathy to her and realize that her participation in the military doesn’t mean she agrees with everything the military industrial complex does.

I have experienced men having issues with condoms, but straight men do exist who will respect your wishes about them no questions asked. One of the biggest green flags about my current partner was the fact that the first time we had sex, he got out a condom and put it on without my even asking. It was just a given. One of the hottest things he could have done TBH. (And the fact that it was a magnum didn’t hurt either lolol 🍆) but seriously, you are right to hold out for what you want and what you DESERVE! It’s a matter of safety and respect.

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰

As a musical theatre sissy, I was personally offended that you went on a Scott Bacula tangent with no mention of Anyone Can Whistle. Just saying. 🪨 💦

Nikki
>>151976894

I agree! Notice how cold Hannah’s parents were toward her. There was no real affection in that family at all. Seeing Hannah’s very aloof thin mother, I can imagine Hannah had a difficult time growing up-hence mommy locking away food. I think Hannah’s aggressive nature is a defense mechanism since she wasn’t allowed to be vulnerable as a child. I hope she stays single and gets serious therapy.

Jessica K
>>151971862

Well, how long has it been since flat screen TVs became relatively cheap and were then mounted on walls all over the place? I personally hate it when they’re high up on a wall because I’m old and used to TV being at my eye level when I’m sitting or lying on a couch, not having to look up. But I think it’s a relatively recent phenomenon.

P.s. I love listening to your podcast. You are both part of my emotional support system. I love your commentary and humor and intelligence!!!

I took a quiz once ‘What is Your Theme Song’ answer: ABBA ‘Dancing Queen’ ..I can’t dance and couldn’t find rhythm at a Zumba class on Aderall y’all

Ryce

Hannah’s parents are nightmares. Locking away food AND they cut her off at 18. Wtaf?? I’m surprised she even talks to them. And Nick never asked why they kicked her out. I would’ve asked right away, it’s cruel.

Lauren

As a black woman from the DMV this season is sooo triggering but so accurate. Weaponozed vulnerability, performative sjw's, unyielding misogynists deeply afraid of being regocnozed as anything other than masculine. Every move is so calculated. It's scary out here!

Cade does not seem fine. If he were, he would have been at the dinner with his parents and brother. I agree that there is more to the story of Hannah being kicked out (can’t belive Nick didn’t ask), & having teenagers myself, I think what Hannah’s parents did was completely heartless (unless she was on drugs). “Disrespecting their home”? I’m sorry, that’s an absolutely petty reason to kick out your barely legal *child*.

Ryce
>>151949308

It is 💯 shitty of him to refuse condoms! Going on hormonal birth control is way worse!

Jenn

I know I’m probably the only one thinking this, but I don’t like Taylor’s insistence on moving to CA. Sure, they had conversations about this in the pods and he co-signed (while being in this space of being away from his friends and family), but I just keep asking myself, what would she have done if someone didn’t agree with her stance on moving? Just live in a space of having a long distance relationship? I just don’t get why she was even in this experiment if she was so dead set on moving. It’s like Micah all over again from the Portland season.

TT

"Ramses" was literally a brand of condoms back in the day. Was his name a warning?

Lauren

🎶 OMG, ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” used to always blare whenever I started my car! Eventually I realized it was because that was alphabetically the first band and song in my list of music. I got so tired of it that I had to lunge for the controls as quickly as possible to change the song. As to why your Apple Music randomly starts up, I have no idea 😄

Rebecca M
>>152044336

This happened to me too but it was Hamilton and I’d just hear “🎶 1776 🎶” 😂

Carey Addis

I just watched Heather McMahon’s comedy special and she reminds me so much of Hannah, but funnier. Taylor reminds me of Olivia Munn, but I think Taylor is even prettier.

Carey Addis
>>151978486

A condom is external an non-toxic. The pill alters internal hormones and chemicals. It’s so much more invasive. Did he even do an ounce of research on other birth control methods? Nope. Was he the one afraid of having kids? Yep. So why is he telling HER that she won’t satisfy HIM sexually if he has to use a condom as if that’s her problem to solve?He’s gross

Christina Reitmann

Marisa’s mom…so it’s not ok to call your daughter a 🐝? How about if a mom says it in front of your in laws? Asking for a friend…😢

I’m an older Sissy. When I grew up, Toland Flags became a big suburbanite thing. Especially dawning a pineapple flag to let your neighbors know this is a friendly home. When a new neighbor moved in, I was taught to always include a pineapple in the gift basket because, back in the day, pineapples were hard to come by so giving one as a housewarming gift was considered a lovely gesture. Fast forward, I was having a luncheon for my Aunties and I dug out my Tolsnd Flag from 30 years ago. As I hung it I hear a “Mother!!!!! What on Earth!!!” Coming from my teenager who explained to me the new meaning. When did this happen. I did a google search & it began as the upside down pineapple to mean swinging. But now it’s just the pineapple itself. Basement Boy’s sweet parents are pineapple clueless like I was. They’ve gone out of their way to put out a loving welcome symbol. Can you imagine how hysterical if neighbors started turnin it up in assumption they meant it. I’m cracking up. I’m too old.

vicky hurley
>>152040167

I agree. This is a small pool of people to expect to find one man ready to leave DC (not a place one feels they need to “get out of” for growth) & move across the country. Sure she asked in the pod & he innocently agreed. San Diego is lovely. But she should have stopped him right there and said, “so seriously. Are you ready within a year to leave your family and move across the country to have & raise a family if this is true love?”

vicky hurley
>>152035390

I’m a mother of a 27 year old daughter. We too live in the Metropolitan Area. Dating apps are exactly Love is Blind but w/ a visual image. They see pics, text, move to the phone, video chat, then meet. So now she’s vested.. People think the only missing factor in love is blind is the physical attraction. It’s so much more. It’s seeing how the person acts in the world.

vicky hurley
>>151991158

Pigs and physically dangerous. Even the little ones can overpower a girl. The old school picking a gal up at her home is long gone. She now meets him in a public place. The only emotional worry being gay is it’s not uncommon to stay friends & in the same social circle with an ex. My jealously couldn’t handle it. I’d love a show on how young (20’s) gay ladies handle that. The majority of my families gay men seem to not be as jealous as my families young gay ladies get. Once older, my gay nieces lost the jealousy but when you’re a 24 year old gay women having to see your ex at every party, it’s too much.

I will say the “high efficiency” washer and dryers are garbage. I hate mine that are on my top floor. I rather use my old washer and dryer in the basement any day!

Lauren
>>151979049

💯 agree! I said the same thing to my husband about his past in the church

Dana Tabala

Ugh, I was basically forced to go on birth control ages ago. I had no clue what it was doing to me until I got off of it about a year ago! I’m like a different person now AND I lost all of my Covid weight!

Sandy Zickur

Nick and Hannah’s dad look the same age. 🤷‍♀️

My partner's was "Alaska" by Maggie Rogers - obviously alphabetical by song title 😂

jey

i don’t think marissa and ramses want a solution to the condom question. my theory is this is the hill they are both going to die on and (subconsciously) will sabotage the relationship - that they both know will not work long term. marissa’s mother was *dark*. those kids have seen some shit. i had chills when she grabbed marissa’s arm and said “want to give mommy a kiss?” as marissa headed to the bathroom.

jey
>>152158315

during my brief tenure in heterosexuality in the late 90’s this is how the birth control conversation most often went 🙄

Rizzy Ramone

Currently watching Kennie JD’s recap on YT and she also picked up on Ramses’ bi energy! Also she described Garrett as “Widows peak/Vagita” which is hilarious if you’re from the Dragonball generation 😂

Lily C

I know people are jumping on Hannah and she’s definitely a personality, but I don’t get the Nick love. A realtor who still lives with his parents? And it doesn’t seem to be for sound financial reasons because this man knows nothing about finances. He’s a classic case of weaponized incompetence too. Talks a big game about what he can do and then can’t even boil water. Looks for dry pasta in the fridge like he was born yesterday. He did all that to get her to take over the task. I don’t know if I’d be able to keep it together if I had to live with that for three weeks.

Lauren
>>152044336

Haha, when I got a new car it was “ABC” by The Streets, for the same reason 😆

Sarah Kirwan

Recently single sissy here! I hate male condoms and went searching for female condoms. You need a prescription for them! I was absolutely shocked! Why? They are so much better and safer.

Toni Lawver

I would totally love a Quantum Leap podcast with you guys!!!

Elizabeth

Poodz, you not knowing that Scott Bakula was Captain Jonathan Archer is grounds for handing over your ‘Trekkie’ card 😜 Just kidding, but DUDE (in LALU voice). But seriously, watch Enterprise. It’s only four seasons. And Scott Bakula is hot AF as a Captain. And there are two Mirror Universe episodes in the fourth season that are camp gold 😝 Oh and the theme song is written by Diane Warren 🤪

Really? They handed them out for free on my campus 20 years ago. Never used them though.

>>152209352

As someone who gets nervous around critical people I understood where he was coming from. You’re nervous & so make dumb mistakes & ask specific questions to try to prevent them telling you you’re doing it wrong etc. but it never works anyways - idk felt like he couldn’t win either way. For sure she’d have criticized how he boiled water anyways.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>152158315

Oh I personally saw a childhood of screaming fits & guilt trips - it was depressing. The son on the far end looked frozen.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>152122811

Agreed. My new fridge, dishwasher, and oven all are shit too. From here on out I’m buying older models. Complete garbage. Takes 30-40min to boil a large pot of water because of the new “safety” features.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>152120447

They also were big during the colonial times as a symbol of wealth. Lots of decor & wallpaper included pineapple. I was thinking maybe on the east coast they may still be similar

>>152035390

That’s why most people stop chatting before meeting. Either meet immediately or move on because the whole talking on the phone/ texting creates a fantasy version of the person/ relationship. After it happens once or twice most people stop doing that. Wastes your energy, time, & romantic feelings. Also some people just want that attention/ validation & never intend to meet.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>151971701

Didn’t she lock away some treats or something. I didn’t get the sense she had no food at all. I have to hide cookies etc at my house too or my 8yo will eat them all. Idk the situation around how she was cut off but it’s not uncommon where I’m from that if you’re not going to post-secondary you’re expected to start working. Also I don’t see Hannah as a reliable narrator based on how she sees things generally; she has a tendency to read everything in the worst possible light. The way she told the story of Nick & the women on the beach later? If she’s anything like how she is now as an 18yo, I’d also not want her in my house. Even her brother said she’s mean. If the oldest child is being this mean to her young siblings, maybe it’s best she moves out. Her parents read as run of the mill Caucasian parents who care about appearances & might’ve had too high standards to me - not horribly abusive or nightmares. That’s Marissa’s mom - she doesn’t, or can’t, even hide it.

Gemma Ryhanen
>>151955452

I also don’t agree with the idea that children are now “adults” and need to fend for themselves but it does seem to be a surprisingly common stance in American family’s. Not the majority but whenever I hear that take, it’s never from anywhere else. I wonder if that mentally had anything to do with it.

Carissa

Apple Music will automatically play the first song in your library. Mine is Kendrick Lamar’s ADHD 😂

Lizzy

Alex is the human embodiment of the “damn bitch, you live like this?” meme

Stefanie Durbano Jensen

Thank you for mentioning the song after Marissa‘s train wreck. Mother said, “I’ll cut your balls off!” I swear they just have a couple of interns that run in the back and sing fake songs with whatever message they’re trying to get across. the music is laughable, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you don’t want to pay royalties

kasha v
>>152342127

My partner and I will guess the AI prompt generated from the scene that they then use to generate the music, it's so literal and soulless

Lauren

Mattie don’t listen to poodle. Meet men wherever you want. Straight Women don’t go to men’s houses, do whatever you feel comfortable with. I think you’re doing amazing sweetie. 😙

Kristina

Jake!! Did you ever watch Star Trek Voyager? That was my fav! As a girl growing up in the 90s it was awesome seeing a woman in charge.

Cassie Hulse

Hear me out, I think that Nick was paralyzed with fear of doing something wrong around Hannah and that's why he asked so many questions bc he didn't want to be told how stupid he is bc he filled up the pot 1/2 way instead of 3/4 way

Tara Daktyl
>>152158315

That arm grab was scary to me, too!!! I love that she said "Marissa has dealt with a lot of bullshit men...." then goes on to list all the men that SHE introduced into her daughters life...
