My mom, who watches every episode of Tea Time religiously. Thanks, mom. Shout out to you. Thanks, mom. Texted and she was like, loved like the first 10 minutes. So great. But she was with her brother and my mom's one of eight. She was with one of her brothers and then like two of her sisters. And she was like, but when we got into bush talk, I just felt a little bit uncomfortable with my brother.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I'll be watching the rest privately.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Oh, that's sweet. But headphones in, no one around. She was like, I'm not sure who Mackenzie is, but I know she has hardwood floors. She was like, I was really excited for the interior design conversation, but then... It was not interior design. Or it was very interior. It was exterior.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Listen, it could be worse. It could actually be way worse. That's true. And someone else actually, speaking of like parents or whatever, Raven's dad on Not So Raven. Oh, Rondell Sheridan.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Sorry, I was getting there slowly. I'm just waking up. But Rondell also commented on that. He was like, I was so excited to listen to it, but whoa, this caught me off guard. I was like, sorry, Dad.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
You match the audience. Correct. One time, to give you context, we were in a supermarket and there was a can of tomatoes up top and I couldn't reach it. So Raven picked me up and my mother-in-law left. the supermarket.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
She was mad at Raven for picking me up to get the can. And I was like, oh. I have to go ask somebody else to get a ladder who's obviously a man to come instead of just picking myself up like I normally do.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
You're so strong, babe. And I loved it. I felt like such a little princess. I was like, oh, I'm light as a feather. Yeah. San Marzano, I think. Now everything is on Top Show. Exactly. You go to your house, nothing is reachable. It's pain. And then my mom is kind of like, we'll be cuddling on the couch. Let's say we'll be totally comfortable in our element and whatever.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And then the next day my mom will say something like, well, between all of that on the couch, I just didn't think I could sit down. And so she'll kind of like passive aggressively say something.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Well, but then she loves it. And then she'll be like, and that's how you should be with your wife. Yes. So she comes around.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Yeah, they're like, Academy? Can we? Everybody look. So then it's hot to people. Then it's like you were saying.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
No, not for me in terms of my parents. My family has always been really kind of open and accepting of me and my partners. And I feel like my mom has said those things to me only in the past because I've maybe pushed the boundary a little bit too far. But I mean, I remember my first girlfriend...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Um, we started before I had said anything to anyone, this was my very first girlfriend and my mom outed me to myself because she was like, I know what's going on. I said, what do you mean? She goes, Miranda, like you're an adult and you're having this many sleepovers with a girl. Like it doesn't work that way. I was like 18, you know, still trying to hide it at the time.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I wasn't really trying to hide it. I just wasn't expressing it. But I also wasn't hiding it because everyone knew. I just wasn't straight up saying it. But my family has always just been very receptive. And I think that I also really like being affectionate. And I don't feel like I should have to hide that around anyone. That's my person. And now my mom is very much like, That's your wife.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Like she she her perspective is like Raven as my wife is my number one priority responsibility person to make sure is happy. And so anytime I come to her with anything, it's like that is your wife. You take care of it. So she's happy to see us like.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Because I've never looked at it and it's like, yeah, it's never felt like, oh, we're having a slumber party. Let's go. It's like someone is coming to stay. Yeah. Feels different than like.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Well, no, go on. You didn't see me up there working? You weren't paying attention to me. We're going to continue like this. We're going to go back and forth. Tell me what happened while I was looking at you. Okay, well, I think when you were looking at the golden right, I hadn't seen you yet.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Because what happened for me was I came to a karaoke night not knowing that I was coming to a karaoke night hosted by Raven. Oh, shit. So I arrive at this bar and I'm meeting two of my friends there. And as I enter, I kind of... you know, look around and whatever, okay. And I actually remember the first time of really seeing you.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
You hadn't started, babe. You hadn't started because the first time that we actually interacted with each other was at the bar, the physical bar. And you came up and we were next to each other. You were getting a drink and we started talking there. And then you were like, I got to go. And you went up on stage and I was like, you weren't there for my hosting.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
You never said that. Cool. In my head, I said it.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I'm really trying to remember the conversation. I don't remember the words spoken as much as I remember the feeling. And what I was, I remember exactly what I was wearing.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
What's that? I was wearing a Biggie shirt. The tank top. It was a white with Biggie Smalls on the front.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And then I was wearing these black and white patterned pants that were high-waisted. So I'm like, my tank top, yep, with checkers. Just got rid of those. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
pair of boots and I remember what this is what I remember I remember just feeling like we were starting to like have a conversation like she went in hosted because I watched you on stage then you came back and we had a conversation again and I felt like your night had you stopped and you could now like you were done working and you could finally talk to me and
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Just as it was starting, you're like, all right, I got to go. And I was like, good. Because you don't stick around for too long. Leave them wanting more. Hey. Leave them wanting more. You know what I mean?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Sure, in your head. But you didn't say it to me. And then I was like, wait, don't go. And then she whipped around out front in her smart car. Yes. And honked.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Period! The horse was in the garage. I see her pull up front and she was like, hey, I'm having a party next weekend. You should come. Come ride in my smart car. And you were like, I'm going to Astro Burger now. And I was like, okay, have fun, but I want to actually go on a date with you. And I know that I texted her and I was like, okay, we need to, like, have a proper date before your party.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Yeah. It was the crayon date.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Go ahead. So this is the sweetest thing. So Raven and I make a plan to hang out on a Friday. And she shows up. It was really hot, like really, really hot. And we were going to go sit in the park at LACMA and have tea. But it was way too hot to sit outside. So she and I show up, meet each other. She gets into my car. We just sit in the car forever. But she had this bag with her.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And she's like, here, I got you a gift. And I was like, oh, my God, this is no one has ever gotten me like a gift. This is the nicest thing on a first date. Fuck. You're wooing her. You're wooing her. She's wooing me. And it was, there were like stickers and there were these really cool crayons that were a different shape.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
It was super memorable. Period. No one's ever gotten her crayons. No. I'll tell you what. Period. And I loved it. And I thought it. Just the fact that she had like.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
thought about that and taking the time to get something and not show up empty handed I thought was so lovely and we ended up sitting in my car for like 10 hours you guys that's the gayest shit I've ever heard it's the gayest shit ever to show up with a craft and stay there for 10 hours is lesbian culture 101 we just like popped around yeah until did you guys even draw
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I don't remember what the safe word was. But I remember in that moment being like, I'm... in love. Like this person is making, she made me feel so safe as a person who had so much anxiety and like got overwhelmed easily in spaces, like a new space of a party. The fact that she was willing to like take me, but then leave when I felt like I had reached capacity was, I was like, this is what? Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
On date two, this person is caring for me.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Like in a really sincere way. Like I, and it was different. It was different. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
For real. Yeah. And we made up a game. And other people started playing it with us. Yeah. It was really cool. We were teaching people. It was so fun. And it was a small world moment because when we got to the party, found out that the... It was for the younger brother of a boy that I had gone to high school with. So I knew the family. And so we were like, oh, we're connected in this way, too.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
So it was just. Yeah. So you felt it.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
That's what I'm talking about. What you may not see today. You may not learn this about me.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I think we know. I think we know.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
That's what it's all about. That's what it is. I heard something recently that said, you will know if you're in the right relationship if you...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
also go through the worst versions of yourself, which was saying if you are acting in the worst way that you have or you feel the most triggered, you know you're in the right place because the right relationship should be a safe enough space for you to heal. Yeah. What you need to heal. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. I mean, everyone has a perspective on something.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
But something I've noticed and kind of want to ask you, I feel like you've been with your wife for how long? Like six and a half years. Yeah. And I feel like you had this like rebirth of flexibility.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Yeah. Dare I say slutty? Dare I say it? Uh-oh. It's a little slutty. I like it. I like it. What about a date bed? So you guys...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I love a day bed. You guys are weak.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
We still have an appointment for that. We're going to have to put things down.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
No, I mean, we're going to have to put stuff to cover it. Yeah. Well, you don't want to slide off. It's Travertine, babes. It's Travertine. Travertine's great. It's Travertine. It's not porous. It's not porous. This is...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
you're right you're right imagine though you guys you finish fucking on top of your dining room table you leave and there's like a ring like when you leave your coffee mug but it's in the shape of your body it's just raven's ass that's what it would be it would be and raven would love it she was like we don't need a lazy susan anymore let's emboss that shit yes Proud. Thank you. 100% proud.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Just so you know, the only reason that would happen is because if I was laying on that, that would be... Too bony, too hard, for sure. You do have to be mindful of that. Yeah, exactly.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Exactly. A top from the bottom. That's powerful. That's why I was just, I got you, babe. Thanks. Clarifying. Thank you. No, I know. It's hard.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I lock him out of the room. That's what you have to do. And Raven would let him in, sit on the corner of the bed and watch. And I'm like, listen. You want spectators?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
No, I don't want the side eye that would happen after the fact when I'm going to feed him and he looks up at me. I know what you did. I'm like, oh, you do not need to know. I know what you did. I also don't want our dog. He should work for the TSA because he wants to be a drug dog. He's searching. He's searching. He's searching. I don't want that energy, you guys. No, no, no. He smells.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
If we were in it. he'd be like, ooh, noose. And he would be like all up in it with us. And then Raven would be like, let him get his life, babe. And I'd be like, let him get his life. I would literally be like.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
No. God, you guys are funny. I'm just like, bye, little boy. Go live your life out there. And he can get his life with the squirrels later. Like, I just, I can't. I feel like that's... I'm obsessed with you two.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
No, I was just going to say, marriage is super interesting. I think that I grew up always wanting to be married. And I watched... my parents go through a divorce and I was like, I will never do that. And I listened to a lot of the things that my straight mother said advice wise. And I don't think that those things necessarily fully exist in my relationship dynamic.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Like there were so many things that I was told was like, You know, if you don't sleep in the same bed, that's the road to divorce. If you don't do these things, it's a road to divorce. So then in my own situation, right, like Raven is a kind of bizarre sleeper. Honey, I'll sleep in another room. She wants to sleep on the couch. She likes having separate spaces.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
She wants to sleep on the floor sometimes. She wants to sleep with her feet out. where the head would usually go in the bed. Literally happened last night. So the fact that I had to train my, or I had to learn, not even train myself, I had to learn that the fact that Raven and I may not sleep together in the same bed every night doesn't mean we're on a road to divorce. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
I had to like actually become more comfortable with letting the pieces kind of fall as is where I had all of this tension initially in getting married about like, we have to do it this kind of straight laced, straight way, this traditional way, or it's a, it's a sign. It's a sign that things are wrong.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And I think that like that happened, that has happened with me with sex where you hear people like, if you're not having sex, you know, every night, something's wrong to those fucking people.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Oh my God. No, I mean, it's not, it's not.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
Yeah, it was really thoughtful. I don't know. I think that it's just interesting. Being in a long-term relationship, you get to really learn more about yourself. You get to learn about a person. You get to learn what you've learned in the past.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
We're each other's chosen family. And I think that's really beautiful. And there are, like you said, there's going to be ebbs and flows and everything. There's also no right way. There's no right way to do it.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And you know one thing? Just to button up this moment of convo, something, too, that I've recently, like, really sat with, and it happened because of our house design. So Raven and I, if you guys haven't told, or you guys haven't been able to tell, as much as we love each other, we're very different. Mm-hmm.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
And I realized, not that I didn't know this before, but it just like sat differently in my body. It was like. To fully love a person and give space to a person to let them be themselves I think is the greatest gift we can offer another human. Yes.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
So when you're cohabitating and when you're designing and when you're doing that, understanding your own personal self, which is for me like I'm a really big creature of environment and there are some things that I need to just have my nervous system stay intact in my house, but also to give somebody the space to just like –
Two Dykes And A Mic
#306 - Queer Supremacy with Raven-Symoné & Miranda Maday
let them be themselves creatively and let those things, even if it doesn't go with the idea of what you thought is so important because ultimately it's like the bag of markers that lives next to the couch forever, forever is not, that bag of markers being put away is not more important than the,
