"New York City, you have to be a full psycho to live there. Not really, but kind of New York City, everyone that lives there, you are programmed for stress. Fighter flight is our resting state, bitches." — Alex Cooper
"The point is, is I get what Elton is saying. It's like LA can swallow you up, but it's more of like a change who the fuck you are type bitch. Like you can change what you believe in and like the way you see the world. And then New York like physically swallows you up and you're like on the fucking side of the road." — Alex Cooper
"I think that that's okay to admit. And I've said on the podcast before like, I love being in bed with a guy that's super dominant. I'm very dominant in my life with work, et cetera. And so for me, what gets me off is a guy fully taking control of me in the bedroom." — Alex Cooper
The episode begins with the host, Alex Cooper, detailing her transition from New York City to Los Angeles, highlighting the significant differences in pace and social interactions. She contrasts the high-stress, "fight or flight" environment of New York with the seemingly more relaxed, yet still driven, culture of Los Angeles. Cooper uses vivid anecdotes to illustrate these differences, from aggressive sidewalk encounters in New York to the polite, almost overly friendly interactions with neighbors in LA. This discussion extends to lifestyle choices, with Cooper noting the prevalence of wellness culture in LA, such as green juices and meditation, which she contrasts with the more survival-oriented daily routines in New York.
The conversation then shifts to the complexities of modern dating, particularly through the lens of dating apps, with guest Lauren sharing her initial experiences. Cooper provides advice on navigating dating app interactions, emphasizing the importance of strategic communication and efficient progression from app to text to FaceTime. They discuss how the pandemic has altered dating norms, making in-person meetings more exclusive and requiring more thorough vetting. The host shares a graphic personal anecdote about a dominant sexual experience, framing it as a consensual exploration of power dynamics within a relationship.
Towards the end of the episode, Cooper provides an emotional update regarding her relationship with "Mr. Sexy Zoom Man." She reveals that he expressed his love and asked her to take time to consider their future while he was away. Cooper expresses internal conflict and fear about making the right decision, acknowledging the perfect fit he appears to be while also feeling overwhelmed by the commitment. The episode concludes with a brief update on a past dating app match, humorously referred to as "Litty Titty Man," who attempted to reconnect after an initial misstep, underscoring the dynamic nature of dating and the importance of making clear decisions.
