2 Dope Queens

Bonus Episode! Boo-boo Ass Milk
In this Episode of 2 Dope Queens, they talk a special guest,  Nicole Byer from the MTV show Loosely Exactly Nicole. Nicole is a happily not married woman living in LA, and Pheobe and Jessica were making small talk with Nicole about how her life is going in LA. And then they ask her how she likes the men in LA, and she says, "LA dudes suck!"something that caught me by surprise. I'd never heard someone have such hatred for men of a specific state or city. But, her reasoning made so much sense. At first when I heard her say that LA dudes suck, I thought she meant she thought they were all unattractive, which was hard to imagine for me because I find almost everyone attractive. But her reasoning was because the Men in LA only ever go for what they know there is an abundance of in LA, Perfect blondes. With, the incentive that most women in LA have to look like the same perfect surfer chick that California is known for because of movies, TV shows, commercials, magazines, etc, Most women end up doing what ever they can to become that. And its not hard to accomplish in LA, what with plastic surgeries, tanning salons, and so on. Because this type of woman is what is expected from women in LA, the men only go for these types of women. The go on and compare the Women in LA to the women you would find that'd be on the bachelor or the bachelorette. Basically, the same normal white women with generic jobs and if there is ever an ethnic woman who may be the most interesting character there, there are seen as too wild or crazy and aren't given any of the bachelors attention. And then they compare the LA men to the men in NY, in which the men in New York are ready these type of ethnic women. And this is mostly because of all the ethnic diversity their is in New York and this diversity is celebrated often, despite there still not being enough representation of different races and body sizes in models on posters and magazines, there is no arguing that compared to LA the spectrum of dateable women in NY is much wider than that of of those in LA. Another topic they talked about was Nicole Byer being her own boss for her show. She confessed that she realized that she really isn't her own boss because MTV has control over the show, but some advice that she gave was to never back down. If she wanted something she was going to make it known that that is what she wanted, and she pointed out that men don't listen. And she said that if they don't you have to be more assertive, and if your boss tells you that you came off as a bitch, then you go ahead and tell them that in no way is that considered being a bitch, that is called being a woman who knows what she wants. She goes on saying that, its unfair that male comedians get to say and do what they want yet woman have to hold back, and that it shouldn't be that way. Of course all of this was said in a much sassier way but none the less, it was empowering advice.
