00:00My mom was like, I hate L.A.
00:01I'll never go back.
00:02It's the most isolating place in the world.
00:04And the example she uses is one time I threw up on the street after eating Abbott's pizza.
00:11And no one – I, like, was projectile vomiting.
00:15And everyone in L.A. was just walking past on, like, Abbot Kinney.
00:18And she was like, if we were in New York, somebody would have asked if you were okay.
00:21Okay.
00:22I think that's right.
00:23I get that.
00:23And I was like, oh, I guess you're right.
00:26And I'll never unsee it now.
00:27Now I feel, like, when I feel lonely here, it's tenfold.
00:30That's – okay.
00:31Well, I'm going to counter it.
00:32Do you mind?
00:33Please.
00:33I don't want to give you a rebuttal to your life experience.
00:35No, please.
00:35Your lived experience.
00:36How pretentious is that?
00:37I beg of you to rebuttal because I'm stuck here.
00:38Okay.
00:40When we first moved here, I would say the very first week we went to La Pubelle.
00:44We had a drink and a married couple tried to take us home.
00:46And I was like, okay, they're friendly here.
00:48Oh, wow.
00:49And then we were online at the grocery store and this woman turned around and overheard what we were saying
00:54and engaged in, like, a 20-minute conversation with us as we walked to our car.
00:57So I was like, people here were too friendly to me.
00:59In my experience, I was like, people are very – in a way that in New York, no one's at
01:02Rastidi's turning around and being like, you know, I don't know.
01:06It just – it felt like a really different place.
01:08And I was like, people are like, people are looking for a thing like that.
01:08And why not first woman so cowardly will they help me and you do that?
