Whether you are your dog homosexual, a cat homosexual, a serpent gay, a ferret homosexual, or a

will I ever look for a lesbian who doesnot have an animal

gay, creatures likely be the cause within dating existence. Individually, there isn’t any much better concern somebody can ask me personally before an initial go out than:

EPISODE

Drew:

Yes.


Brittani:

Yeah. A snake.


Christina:

Surely got to notice a lot more about this. Got to explore the serpent.


[theme tune plays]


Drew:

Hi, I Am Drew.


Christina:

I’m Christina.


Drew:

And welcome to

Wait, So Is This a Date?


Christina:


Hold off, So Is This a Date?

is an Autostraddle podcast aimed at the most crucial concern of your occasions: hold off, is this a date?


Drew:

Its a concern men and women are inquiring, We listen to.


Christina:

Yeah. People are just clamoring for a remedy and then we try to get closer and closer to having an answer anytime we podcast with each other, i do believe.


Drew:

I believe therefore also.


Christina:

Yeah.


Drew:

I’m Drew Gregory. I’m a filmmaker and a writer for Autostraddle. I am a queer lady, I’m a trans woman, and I’m excited to get right here today.


Christina:

That’s very thrilling. I Am Christina Tucker. I’m in addition an author at Autostraddle. I’m a podcaster, a writer of circumstances other places. And I am additionally a queer lady. I’m black colored. We have new braids and that I’m truly adoring, tossing them around a really remarkable girl that’s what I’m carrying out now. I am identifying as a dramatic lady today.


Drew:

In my opinion you ought to.


Christina:

Which will be actually helping myself.


Drew:

Yes.


Christina:

As always, there is a little game to play.


Drew:

I’m very excited.


Christina:

This game that I have designed for Drew is named Fix That film. These are typically motion pictures that Drew has rated two to two and a half stars on Letterboxd. I Will offer Drew 30 seconds because Drew—


Drew:

Oh Jesus.


Christina:

—as we realize and like her, does get somewhat long-winded. So Drewshould have half a minute to pitch a fix for those flicks that she has ranked just two and a half to two movie stars.


Drew:

Great.


Christina:

To ensure thatis the video game. I’ll start a timer. After which i’ll provide you with your first movie. Do you want to try out Repair That Movie?


Drew:

Yeah.


Christina:

And that I need state it like that anytime.


Drew:

Without a doubt.


Christina:

Okay. The first film could be the film,

Nine

. Begin.


Drew:

Most of the areas are there any. So it’s really, this can be a difficult one, given that it merely must better. I do believe perhaps the music

Nine

isn’t really good. Thus possibly compose new tracks?


Christina:

Okay.


Drew:

And cast a few people that Broadway artists, not only celebrities, as far as I love the movie stars in that cast.


Christina:

Sufficient reason for 10 seconds to free, you’ve got fixed the movie Nine. Beautiful.


Drew:

Amazing.


Christina:

Our very own subsequent film,

Catwoman

from 2004. Go.


Drew:

I mean, a unique software? But also I obviously love Halle Berry as Catwoman. I believe that is a-two . 5 star on Letterboxd. I did so think of rendering it greater. We loved myself. I actually rewatched it lately, like five years in the past. But yeah, anyways i might state most likely a webpage one write.


Christina:

A page one write. Beautiful. Four mere seconds to spare. Fine. The next movie is actually,

The Lake House

.


Drew:

Oh, performed we provide two and a half performers? That’s very intense.


Christina:

You provided it two-and-a-half performers.


Drew:

I’m not sure. What i’m saying is, that feels like a film for which you like it to be two and a half stars. Any time you visited go see

The Lake Home

making use of assumption so it has actually with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. You know what? This is gonna be a— recast Sandra Bullock.


Christina:

Oh, hot provides. Everyone loves it.


Drew:

I am not sure which, because she has great biochemistry with Keanu, but In my opinion there is some one better for that part.


Christina:

A recast. All right. All right. Which is daring and attractive. Okay. We will go into some fun ones today. They’re some more recent flicks that i do believe give a bit more of difficult.


Drew:

Great.


Christina:

The next movie,

Being the Ricardos

.


Drew:

Oh, God. I’m not sure. Aaron Sorkin published it and directed it. This really is challenging. Because i might say, guess what happens, I’m in fact perhaps not gonna state an innovative new screenwriter because i do believe Aaron Sorkin is a fine screenwriter when he provides a director who can bully him. That’s why

The Social Networking

works. Very sadly a male movie director just who Aaron Sorkin would tune in to and get bullied by. And I also’m sorry, but no, Nicole Kidman love of living. You can’t, that’s not your own role. And Javier Bardem, perhaps not passion for living. Also not your own character. Thus recast the two leads. Supporting cast is excellent. And acquire another director.


Christina:

And you just moved six seconds over thereon. And I also think’s attractive.


Drew:

I understand I am able to live with that.


Christina:

I also believe, as a rule, anyone to bully Aaron Sorkin is a good concept. Simply for something that he’s ever before taking part in. Beautiful. We’ve got two a lot more. The next one, the film,

The Last 5 Years

.


Drew:

Oh God.


Christina:

Resolve! That! Film!


Drew:

Okay. You need a manuscript, you need to write a book for it. It doesn’t are a musical without a script. Following also Anna Kendrick can not work because part because Cathy requires much less onscreen power compared to the different man, screwing Jamie. And so having a celebrity be Cathy and a not since famous individual be Jamie can not work. But generally it requires a manuscript.


Christina:

It needs a book. I believe you are right. And I believe that is going to be brilliant. The last film, it was a truly chaos option for me personally, but,

The Sight of Tammy Faye

.


Drew:

Okay. I mean, first of all, no excess fat match. That is an easy method to create myself bump it up an one half star and get a little bit more nice towards it. I don’t know basically would you like to correct that motion picture think its greatis only— truthfully if you take the actual excess fat fit, could still be that cast. Jessica Chastain could still do this part looking like Jessica Chastain. Then we provide a three. I have three performers. I really don’t believe that flick needs to be anything more. But I would say if you want to create a Tammy Faye flick that could be a lot better than that, you would need to concentrate like the majority of biopic kind things on a tremendously particular amount of time in existence. Hence, i do believe, always makes for a much better biopic.


Christina:

In my opinion that’s beautiful. And that I think Drew, these days you have repaired six motion pictures.


Drew:

That’s truly breathtaking.


Christina:

Of a real broad breadth and degree of films and types. And I genuinely believe that’s truly fascinating.


Drew:

Yeah. There is also these types of a positive change— Rating motion pictures of five movie stars, its complicated. And once more,

The Lake Residence

getting a… i believe I became high for it. I got an enjoyable experience seeing

The Lake Home

high.


Christina:

Really, which was another thing is I’d to, as I was experiencing them, I found myself like ok, those that do I know that Drew saw high? And like therefore I can not pick

Peacefulness

.


Drew:

Oh,

Peacefulness

is indeed poor. Being the Ricardos was actually these a much much less pleasing knowledge than

The Lake Residence

. Very you shouldn’t enjoy

Being the Ricardos

. Maybe watch

The Lake House

if you have adequate medications. Which is my personal last terms.


Christina:

Referring to Drew’s critiques motion picture spot now.


Drew:

Our very own major subject today is actually couples’ animals. Therefore we have actually an extremely special visitor. Extremely special guest, want to present yourself?


Brittani:

Yes. Hello. I’m called Brittani Nichols.


Christina:

Hey.


Brittani:

Carry out we state the things I are?


Christina:

You’ll be able to state whatever you desire.


Drew:

Whatever that implies to you.


Brittani:

I am a tv blogger and actor. And Gemini.


Christina:

Yeah.


Drew:

Great.


Christina:

Advisable that you get the register. I do believe we have to request all of our visitors to inform united states their own indication. I do believe definitely one thing we should carry out.


Drew:

They ought to. So That As we capture this, Gemini season has just finished and…


Christina:

Only wrapped upwards.


Drew:

It’s a bummer.


Christina:

Unfortuitously.


Drew:

Yeah.


Brittani:

Bummer, unfortuitously. Yeah.


Christina:

Yep. Right here our company is in Cancer period. Yay.


Drew:

Brittani, to begin with, I would like to ask, what exactly is your own relationship to animals and also to pets? Growing upwards as a youngster, do you have pets? Do you ever like creatures?


Brittani:

As children, performed we now have pets? We had fish for an interval, but my small brothers would — one small sibling Donnie — would place movie tapes inside fish tank, that will eliminate the fish.


Christina:

Now You will find a couple of questions. Ended up being this so they could view the video clip? Had been this so that they could connect to the recording? Are we talking a complete VHS? For the reason that it’s huge.


Brittani:

Oh, yeah. It had been a pretty— It wasn’t a super large tank. I’d say it actually was three goldfish tanks, I’d state in the stereotypical cartoon size goldfish tank. Not a clue. I mean he was three.


Christina:

Sure. So possibly he wasn’t additionally thinking extremely logically.


Brittani:

When he had been not in vision, that tape ended up being planning that container.


Drew:

What i’m saying is, it can make a good splash, I would imagine. Thus I get it.


Christina:

See, I became imagining him reducing it all the way down very considerably then coming away.


Brittani:

Yeah. It’s one of those images this is certainly definitely burned into my memory space from the time I happened to be a youngster. We never really had a dog. Oftentimes my mother would-be internet dating a person that had your pet dog and that was actually enjoyable. One in my opinion was consumed by a coyote we feel, because there had been wilderness behind in which we had been staying.


Christina:

Yeah. The wilderness will bring you.


Brittani:

Yeah, however just allow the puppy get spend time. Then one-day it really failed to come back.


Christina:

Yikes.


Drew:

A bummer. Was just about it a tiny puppy?


Brittani:

Yeah. It was not little. It had been, i’d state, limited, mid-sized dog called Timberland. Really sexy.


Christina:

That is a fantastic dog title. Wow.


Brittani:

I believe that’s about it.


Drew:

What about you Christina?


Christina:

There had been creatures around loads. We’d a dog while I ended up being developing right up that my father named Chakotay because he’s a huge

Celebrity Trek

mind.


Drew:

In my opinion there is a word for

Superstar Trek

mind.


Christina:

Yeah. Its

Star Trek

head, we mentioned it. Like hello. He was perhaps not well trained and then he was actually rather hostile. So he had been a bummer of your pet dog. And then we afterwards had your pet dog known as Maggie who had been a rather nice German Shorthaired Pointer who was simply extremely dumb, and decrease off the deck plenty, only unintentionally. And I was like, babe, you got to get results it. But we were lackadaisical dog owners. They usually turned up or some one needed your dog. And my mama couldn’t say no to re-homing stated puppy, but we had been maybe not enthusiastic dog owners, i might maybe not say. And my personal mom is actually addicted to finding backyard kitties whom she nourishes following is actually surprised which they return. Yeah. And so they actually have two unusual kitties that my personal mom also couldn’t state no inside, since they happened to be the past on the litter and their labels are Shadowfax and Yoshi. And they are very odd and frightened men and women.


Drew:

Which is wonderful.


Christina:

Only cool. Just chilling at home. Not really passionate about all of our pets I’d say, within Tucker household. How about you? I know your parents have actually canines, Drew.


Drew:

Yeah. Contrary. Really passionate about the puppies. I found myself constantly meant to relate to our puppies as my siblings.


Christina:

Okay.


Brittani:

Oh, no.


Drew:

Yeah. My mommy usually types of person. But we spent my youth enjoying puppies and we also constantly had two. You would perish — they were always a tiny bit down an age — you might perish. We would get a fresh one immediately after which it would sort of… like this. Yeah. Well we had supply away our dogs because she was actually biting men and women, but she adored me. So that it was quite difficult because I happened to be a youngster therefore had been difficult to… I remember a vet claiming really, are you wanting your puppy to bite one of the pals? It actually was very severe. Because In My Opinion I Happened To Be nine, then again we had gotten—


Christina:

Damn.


Drew:

We had gotten another puppy and this puppy was my really love. Following my personal moms and dads got two puppies that I don’t know also, but my personal parents still are like, your own uncle. And I’m like, I am not sure about this. Maybe half-brother or something like that at the least, but—


Christina:

My personal relative really.


Drew:

Yeah. Yeah.


Christina:

Interesting.


Drew:

But yeah, Everyone loves dogs and that I’ve never really had among my own personal because they’re pricey and that I move about many and that I are now living in cities. But then Brittani, i’m like I know vaguely the background with dating those who have dogs as well as other creatures, but we’ll enable you to tell that yourself.


Brittani:


Really, we evaluate puppies and literally all pets on a situation by instance basis. Then when everyone is like, are you currently your dog individual or a cat person? I am like, they will have personalities. I eventually got to find out if we become along.


Christina:

We got to perform a vibe check.


Brittani:

Just. Thus yeah. Therefore I dated someone for a couple of years just who didn’t have a dog although we happened to be dating, but got your dog immediately after. No, perhaps a year soon after we dated or so. And that I turned into very close to that puppy. He is named Bandit. Really attractive. An actual merely stressed puppy, but very cool. I quickly dated somebody who had two cats that I became deathly sensitive to. I almost developed symptoms of asthma. There is an allergy caused asthma you can establish.


Christina:

Yeah, you’ll. Can help you that.


Brittani:

And I also had been wheezing. I might awake and I will be wheezing because it ended up being so incredibly bad. And so that was among a many tensions when it comes down to union had been you should vacuum your own apartment so I never die.


Drew:

Yeah.


Brittani:

And today, my current gf has your pet dog and a snake.


Drew:

Yes.


Christina:

Yeah. A snake. Have got to notice a little more about this. Surely got to talk about the serpent. What’s their feeling? What’s its name? Will it go the feeling check?


Brittani:

Yes.


Christina:

Astonishing.


Brittani:

And so I think many people have-not interacted with snakes a great deal. As I was in sixth grade, we decided to go to a camp where one of many large occasions ended up being that they would place a snake around your own neck and also you would arrive at just take an image. Therefore it was not my personal very first experience with a snake. Their name’s Yari, he had been a rescue. He got cleaned out during some hurricane in Fl. And then he was actually mailed to this lady as an infant.


Christina:

Oh.


Drew:

Positive.


Brittani:

And he eats real time mice. Very simply because for the first time, I have to state — well, not rats, let’s imagine mice, they truly are little — was a large number. It was a lot to watch. I really do maybe not relish it. I understand the group of life. However, I would fairly not experience that one aspect of it. And then he’s pretty chill. He is never nipped or anything at me personally. He will slip into my {shirt|clot
