    Episode 38: Always Be Heisting, or God Bless the US Gays

    Carrie and Sarah need your voice notes! DM us on instagram at whatiloveaboutmyselfpodcast. Sarah looks like Egon and weaponizes tears at the gynecologist. Carrie gets a yeast infection on her skin. Sarah and Carrie are both chaotic air signs who love data and experiments and a tweet-tivity. More information gives Sarah confidence. Carrie says anxiety is when even the facts don't help. Sarah gives Carrie advice on how to be safe in the city when hypothetically meeting a kinky fella for the first time. Carrie thinks he should be afraid of her and the heist she's planning. Rule 1: Ask the stranger to handcuff themselves before you enter. Add a blindfold for good measure. Rule 2: Look for a sexy sex idiot to heist. Rule 3: Drive a truck, bring a getaway driver, or at least have a friend nearby who can show up for backup. Rule 4: Bring your parachute suit, rock climbing equipment, and your own knife. And dildos. And bugs for surveillance. Rule 5: Be gay, do crime, and don't get caught. Sarah loves karaoke. Duh. She's promoting the podcast there. Hi, Megan! It was the tequila, AND the nudity. Everybody gets naked at karaoke. Carrie loves The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Carrie says it's a masterclass in how to do a last season. Great ass show. 10/10. Amy Sherman-Palladino is a goddess. Carrie's mom thinks Emily Gilmore makes some good points. Carrie loves her gotdam hair, AGAIN. As her rainbow hair fades into pastel, it gets even cooler, matching the colors of the Lover album cover. Sarah coins the term #bowllet: half bowl, half mullet. Tell everyone: hashtag bowllet forever. Carrie loves the attention she's getting while eating hotdogs at Costco. Dogs fulfill Carrie's emotional needs better than most people. Sarah theorizes that while Carrie's dogs suffer under her care, they give her a lot of love. On the other hand, Sarah suffers as a pet owner, but her dog benefits greatly. The girls agree: F**k around and find out but also bring a knife. Sarah says that her entire upbringing was a traumatic experience. She loves that she's doing the work to move through this. Sarah loves being in touch with her emotions. Sarah loves opening brain doors to look at the stuff that's back there. Carrie is not interested in this full range of emotions. Carrie loves that Sarah is deep in the work and that Sarah brings Carrie into the work, too. Carrie is enjoying the splash off from Sarah's therapist. Sarah loves that Carrie is also brave and doing the work in a transitional period. Sarah and Carrie are best friends. Sarah's low-stakes advice is to prioritize the friendships that matter and to treat them like a relationship. Do the work to make friendships meet your needs. Carrie's low-stakes advice is to keep dildos in your rock climbing bag. And carry a carabiner with a knife. Sounds gay. I like it. Follow Sarah's karaoke team on Instagram at basicinstinctdck.

Carrie and Sarah discuss their new book project, How to Make a Move Without Moving: a collection of essays about trying to attract sex partners with psychic signals, pheromones, and juicy smells.
