[00:00:44] Speaker C: Welcome to the.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: Podcast. I messed up my hair with your girl Caroline M. Diamond.
I want to talk today about men and more specifically, like basic things that like I think that men should be doing that I don't think are like do asking for too much.
Some of those things include being thoughtful.
[00:01:18] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: I hear all the time that like, oh, women never say what they want. They speak in code.
Are they speaking in code or are you not listening?
I understand.
It's anytime I talk. It's not all or nothing, it's I speak in most and some. Okay, so not all men, not all women. Okay, like please use discernment, for the love of God, use discernment when you listen to somebody speak.
[00:01:51] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:01:54] Speaker A: So I believe that sometimes men like to put it on the women that oh, they, they talking. Cuz they never say what they want.
Most of the time we do say what we want. You just don't listen. You don't take that into consideration.
[00:02:15] Speaker C: Be thoughtful. I think in general most people need to be more thoughtful.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: But listen, escuchar, please, for the love of God, listen to the song Here in my heart. You know what I mean?
[00:02:30] Speaker C: Also,
[00:02:32] Speaker A: I.
[00:02:32] Speaker C: Okay, because I've never been in a relationship before.
[00:02:35] Speaker A: For a long time I was like, yeah, like, you know, I'm a woman. Like we can be equal.
I've been alone this long, I'm gonna ask for what I want.
Do I am as I'm manifesting a partner, do I want them to pay for things? I do actually.
I do want to be taken care of financially in a way. Not like to say that, like I don't contribute in any sort of way, but like my future man has to have money. I'm sorry, he does.
[00:03:04] Speaker C: We need to be grown.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: Like yes, we can be growing, we can be evolving, we can do all that stuff. But like I just, if I've been alone this long, I'm not building a.
I'm just not doing it. I just like, I don't want to do it. Like, yeah, you should buy, you should pay for dinner, you should be chivalrous, you should open the door, open the door before I walk through it, open my car door. If I'm walking down the street.
A real man is somebody that's walking closer to the actual street for walking on the sidewalk. Okay, Move me over. If I am closer to the street than the. Than the grass.
[00:03:47] Speaker C: Okay?
[00:03:48] Speaker A: Because that's a true man. That's a sign of a man.
[00:03:51] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: I just, I. I believe that because there's.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: There's parts of me that, like, are maternal.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Not, like, necessarily falling into these, like, societal norms and stuff, but, like, I am maternal, I am caring, I am giving. Like, when I have a partner. Like, I. I think I'll be an amazing girlfriend. I really do. I think I'll be an amazing partner to somebody someday.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: But I.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: And that, like, I want to be given. I want to share, I want to give parts of myself.
[00:04:24] Speaker C: I really do.
[00:04:26] Speaker A: But, like, also, like, you gotta step
[00:04:28] Speaker C: up to the plate.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: Like, I'm not waiting this long to
[00:04:31] Speaker C: have somebody lower level.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: And I really believe that if you don't add to my life, there's no reason for you to be here. I've been alone for 31 years now.
I can be alone. The proof is in the pudding, mama. Like, I've been independent. And if you subtract, there's no need for you to be here. I have plenty of other relationships in my life that I highly value, that I highly appreciate that I need in my life, but I don't need you, really.
You know what I mean? Like, unless you're, like, giving me something that I don't get from somewhere else.
[00:05:12] Speaker C: Amazing.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: But at the same time, it's like,
[00:05:14] Speaker C: you better add babes, because I'm going
[00:05:15] Speaker A: to add to your life. I am. I can say that with 100% certainty that whomever I end up with, they are going to feel incredibly nourished by the love that I give them, and
[00:05:27] Speaker C: I hope to receive the same.
[00:05:29] Speaker A: And I don't think that's asking for too much. I don't.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: Kind of in the same world of,
[00:05:33] Speaker A: like, relationships and stuff, there's nothing that pisses me off more than seeing couples content online.
Every time I see, like, a couple's content, I'm like, this is. And again, this is my opinion. You can disagree with me. I am so disgusted, annoyed, yucked out. Yucked out from couples content. Like, oh, babe, let me just set up my tripod and film us doing this.
[00:06:04] Speaker C: Like, I just.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: Like, it just feels disgusting to me. And then there's also nothing worse than a pranking couple.
Oh, my God. Like, I hate being frightened I hate being frightened.
Why?
No.
For laughs and clicks online. You're gonna prank me for the Internet to see?
No, no, no, no, no. I hate couples content. I don't think it's funny. I think it's lame. I think it's loser behavior. And then you might be like, oh, Caroline, you're just acting like that because you're not in a relationship. You don't get it. Okay, I'm happy to not get it then, because y' all look stupid. Y' all look lame.
[00:06:57] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:06:59] Speaker A: Ugh.
[00:07:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
This section of the podcast is called Currently, and it's everything that I am currently reading, watching, and listening to. And I finally have a reading update because for a long time in this section of the podcast, I was. I read the first two books in the Heated Rivalry series, which is technically the Game Changer series, but I stopped after the second one because I think there's five or six in the series currently, And I decided to, like, switch it up a little bit, and I decided to read a memoir. And that memoir is hello, Molly from Molly Shannon, whom I love, like, from snl. Like, I always found her, like, incredibly fun, funny, and inspiring and just, like, such a great character actress. And her book, holy. Like, she really has been through the wringer. Like, not to give too much away, but when she was, like, 4 years old, her family got into this car accident, and her entire family was in the car. Her dad was driving, her mom was in the front, and the three sisters, including Molly, were in the back seat, and her cousin and her dad was driving, and he was, like, kind of a drinker, but it was like he was tired and whatever. They got into a car accident. They, like, basically, like, wrapped around a tree. Her mom died, her baby sister died, and her cousin died when she was, like, 4 years old, like, crazy. And, you know, that just, like, really kick started, like, the trajectory of her entire life. Obviously, something not traumatic, but it was just really inspiring to read, like, how she moved through it, how she overcame it, and she's just so, so exceptional. And I just found it, like, very inspiring story.
And also, like, how she kind of got started in showbiz. Like, she was a hustler.
She really did whatever it took to get herself out there. And I find that really inspiring, especially with where I'm at currently in my life. Like, I need to just push a little bit harder. I need to go, like, go a little more. And I really believe that where I'm going, I'm gonna get to. But I really just got to put in the work. So it was really inspir read. And if you're looking for, like, an industry type of inspiring book to read, I totally suggest hello Molly by Molly Shannon.
As for what I'm listening to, Casey
[00:09:33] Speaker A: Musgraves is coming out with new music.
[00:09:39] Speaker C: If you have taste, which hopefully everybody on this podcast does, that's listening.
Golden Hour is one of the best albums ever made. It's definitely in my top five albums of all time. And I liked Star Cross, the album that came out after that, her divorce album. And I love Deeper. Well, like, those three albums in that kind of trilogy. Trilogy.
[00:10:00] Speaker A: Trilogy.
[00:10:00] Speaker C: Like, they're so good. And nobody. Everybody's like, oh, nothing compares to Golden Hour. I'm like, let. Let artists evolve.
[00:10:10] Speaker A: Let them change.
[00:10:11] Speaker C: Let them figure out new sounds and, like, what works for them and what doesn't. Like, please let artists do this. But anyway, she's coming out with new music, and she came out with a new single, and it's called Dry Spell, and it's all about how she hasn't had sex in, like, almost a year. And I was like, babe, is this play about us? Because I feel you, sister. Like, me and Casey Musgraves, like, we're living parallel lives. Like, when the Deeper well album came out, her last album with that leading single, like, it really. It really shook me. It shook me to my cooler, all right? And I was obsessed with that album.
I have the poster up on my wall because Madison and I went to, like, a listening party at, like, a. A vinyl store, and it was, like, so fun.
But anyway, she's coming out with new music May 1st. I am so excited for it, and I can't wait to listen to it.
As for what I'm watching, I have watched this movie before. I love this movie. It's definitely one of those movies that I saw as a young girlie that really shaped me into who I am.
And this might be kind of bad, but, like, maybe not. So this is why, like, representation is so important with, like, all different types of races and ethnicities and stuff like that, which I really believe representation is everything. And for me, personally, whenever there's a redhead lead, I'm like, that's me.
All my favorite movies have redhead leads.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: The Parent Trap.
[00:11:47] Speaker C: The best movie of all time. Lindsay Lohan, Titanic, Kate Winslet. All right, and the movie I want to talk about today is Moulin Rouge.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: This movie is. Is.
[00:12:01] Speaker C: It's camp, it's insanity, it's yearning, it's love, it's heartbreak. It's so many Things wrapped into one. And it's crazy. Cuckoo. And I love a little crazy. Hello. Have you met me?
Yes, you have. And it's also Bas Lerman. We love Baz Luhrmann in this house. It's like opulence. It's literally what I've been talking about on the podcast for over a year now, which. My podcast came out in June, which we're coming up on that. Hey, and look at me sticking to something.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, but you know how I talk about on the podcast about how much I love set design? When you can feel the set, you feel the real shit. And that's a Baz Luhrmann production. Okay. And that set is stunning. The makeup, stunning. The costuming, stunning.
The acting. Like, I am so into Ewan McGregor. Like, it's a problem in that movie. Like, it's a problem. Like, why. Why can't I love the Duke? You know what I mean? I mean, I do. Like, for money reasons, but, like, he's also kind of, like, not as cute and, like, just like, the yearning. Like, the poor, you know, man who, like, is a poet. Like, I don't know why. Like, that just, like, rubs me the right way and then also the wrong way on the other side. But Nicole Kimman eats this roll up, like, when she is throwing her body around the room. Oh, oh, oh. Like, obviously, I watched that as a young girl, which kind of inappropriate for me to be watching at a young age, but whatever.
The world is gross, all right? At least I wasn't in the Epstein Files. I stand with survivors.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:13:45] Speaker C: But she is just so over the top, obnoxious, ridiculous. And I just truly feel that I took so much of that energy and I put it into who I am. And I. We watched it the other day, and it is just so fantastic because my roommate Jasmine had never seen it before, and I was like, put it on the tv. Put it on the tv.
And I know I haven't seen the Broadway musical, but I heard it's, like, not that good, but.
And I think it's closing soon.
It's always sad when a Broadway musical closes, but I love the movie Moulin Rouge, and it really. It made a lot of who I am. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Hello.
A goodbye.
