Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Chelsea’s Hard-Boiled Egg Conversion & Personal Update

[04:02 – 06:56]

• Chelsea admits she now eats hard-boiled eggs daily—despite famously condemning their consumption on airplanes.
  • “The irony with how many hard boiled eggs I now consume on a daily basis versus my initial reaction to your hard boiled eggs on a plane, which I'm still against, obviously.” — Chelsea [04:25]
• Conversation about her new boyfriend (“cowboy”):
  • She clarifies she hasn’t "hard-launched" the relationship publicly, but wants to be real online.
  • “I'm having a good time in my life. This is the guy that I'm with right now. There's nothing to announce. I'm just doing my thing and trying to be inclusive and represent what I'm actually doing instead of being secretive for no reason.” — Chelsea [05:41]
• Reflection on the importance of authenticity and not taking oneself too seriously, especially regarding public/private life.

---

2. Marital Dilemma: Bathroom Etiquette for Workmen

[07:08 – 08:32]

• Catherine shares marital tension: her husband told outdoor workers they could use the backyard bush (not the indoor bathroom).
  • Humorous take on practicality vs. hospitality.
  • Chelsea sides with Brad, suggesting many men would prefer peeing outside rather than worrying about making a mess inside.
  • “I think men will know where men want to go to the bathroom...I'm sure they would rather pee outside than come into your house and worry about not making a mess.” — Chelsea [07:53]
• Catherine relents after hearing the rationale; humor about dogs sharing the space.

---

3. Listener Update: Protecting Elderly Parents from 'Deadbeat' Boyfriends

[11:32 – 14:25]

• Update from Dwayne (previous caller worried about his mother’s partner):
  • His mom, 81, decided against hip surgery due to risks.
  • Dwayne followed Chelsea’s advice: got a power of attorney, visited an elder law lawyer, and secured documentation preventing the boyfriend from gaining any estate or common law claims.
  • “I have to admit that I look forward to saying those four magical words to him: get the fuck out.” — Dwayne’s letter [13:13]
• Chelsea and Catherine cheer the protective measures and female lawyer choice.

---

4. Advice Segment: Moving Abroad vs. Returning Home

[14:26 – 19:36]

• Caller Christina (American living in Spain) debates moving back to the US to be closer to aging family.
  • Fears about US politics, safety, gun culture, healthcare, and lifestyle versus family ties.
  • Chelsea strongly advises against moving back “at this stage in the game.”
    • “I would not move to the United States at this stage in the game. I really just would not. It's not worth it. It's too ugly, it's too upsetting. You're leaving a peaceful place.” — Chelsea [15:37]
  • Practical advice: “Maybe you take a month or six weeks and come visit...rather than moving your whole life.” — Catherine [17:16]
  • Suggestion to plan temporary visits and see if feelings change.

---

5. Resource Highlight: Leaving the U.S. for Safety

[22:19 – 23:41]

• Chelsea and Catherine share a listener resource: www.helpmeleave.us
  • For LGBTQ+ or vulnerable individuals considering leaving the US due to political or safety concerns.
  • “Especially with this Kansas law affecting the trans community...it's for folks who are scared by the anti-LGBTQ rules and laws taking place.” — Catherine [22:29]

---

6. Quick Advice: The Office Throat-Clearer Dilemma

[23:41 – 25:55]

• Listener’s co-worker incessantly clears his throat after lunch, much to the annoyance of nearby employees (up to 38 times in 20 mins!).
• Chelsea’s advice:
  • Have a direct, empathetic conversation; frame it as concern, possibly mention a partner/friend with similar issues (even if you fib a little).
  • “You have acid reflux. He has acid reflux. I also have acid reflux...I think you just have a direct conversation and speak from experience. Like, even if it's a lie, just say, oh, you know, my husband dealt with this.” — Chelsea [24:31]
  • If that fails, invest in noise-cancelling headphones.
  • Humor is laced throughout their discussion (“Send him the bill for the headphones!”).

---

Notable Quotes

• “I eat four hard-boiled egg whites and one yolk. And I had to stop giving all the yolks to Doug because of his own cholesterol issues.” — Chelsea [05:16]
• “I just don’t want to be ultra private or take myself too seriously...I want to spread joy, love, and happiness, and that’s what I’m feeling.” — Chelsea [06:41]
• “You’re off the hook.” — Catherine, after forgiving Brad for the backyard-bathroom call [08:41]
• “I look forward to saying those four magical words to him: get the fuck out.” — Dwayne’s letter [13:13]
• “There's enough shit going on in the world. I want to spread joy, love, and happiness...” — Chelsea [06:41]
• “I would not move to the United States at this stage in the game. I really just would not. It’s not worth it.” — Chelsea [15:37]
• “Once he walks around an office and sees everyone in noise canceling headphones, then I guess there’s a situation that you have to deal with." — Chelsea [25:46]

Go to chelseahandler.com for tickets. Hi, Katherine.

[B]

Hi, Chelsea.

[A]

Hi. How are, how are you doing?

[B]

I gotta tell you, I need a little bit of marital advice. I just found out something my husband did that is maybe disagreeable to me.

[A]

So we're having anything to do with hard boiled eggs? No.

[B]

But I will say my mom came to visit last week and within 24 hours she made two separate dishes with hard boiled eggs. So I was very happy.

[A]

I the irony with how many hard boiled eggs I now consume on a daily basis versus my initial reaction to your hard boiled eggs on a plane, which I'm still against, obviously. I have this stand against that. Oh, by the way, did you hear the calling out passengers that talk on their phones or listen to podcasts or any sort of media without headphones, you'll get removed off their flight. So way to go, United Airlines. Way to go.

[B]

Yes. That's incredible. That's incredible. And pretty soon they'll be removing people with hard boiled eggs. I'm pretty sure.

[C]

I think that hard boiled eggs are kind of like lsd, any kind of psychedelics where it's like set and setting, you know, you have to have the right place, right time.

[A]

So that's my two cents. That's not, not true.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

I was, I was worried when my new when cowboy came to visit me for the first time, I was like, oh my God, I hope he likes eggs. Cause they're fucking gonna be everywhere. And not only that, I eat four Hard boiled egg whites and one yolk. And I had to stop giving all the yolks to Doug because of his own cholesterol issues.

[B]

He was turning brown.

[A]

I was like, I kill my fucking dog with the plaque. With heart plaque. So cowboy loves hard boiled eggs just as much as I do.

[B]

And I'm sure Doug also does. Speaking of cowboy, you kind of like hard launched.

[A]

No, I did not. I did not hard launch.

[B]

You didn't hard launch.

[A]

I mean, it would be very. To go on vacation with someone several times of who I'm dating and only post pictures of myself, that is unacceptable. So I just am trying to slip them in there. It's not a hard launch. That's who I'm dating. I'm having a good time in my life. This is the guy that I'm with right now. There's nothing to announce. I'm just doing my thing and trying to be inclusive and represent what I'm actually doing instead of being secretive for no reason.

[C]

Sharing an igloo together.

[A]

Yes, we're sharing igloos together.

[C]

Love it.

[A]

Yes, we've shared a lot more than that. And yeah.

[B]

Sing igloos, saunas, and karaoke songs.

[A]

Yeah. Well, minus the karaoke, please.

[B]

Minus the karaoke. You know, I think that that's. I mean, good. I'm glad you're having fun.

[D]

I'm glad.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

Yeah. I just don't want to be ultra private or take myself too seriously. I don't care and I don't want. I don't know. I just am trying to be real.

[B]

I'm real as a person who, you know, enjoys celebrity culture and all that stuff. Like, I think that that's great. Like, so many people are so, like, it's very, very hidden until it's not.

[A]

Yeah. And it's like, I don't want it just because of my relationship in the past that have been public and be like, I'm not doing that again. I don't care. I really just don't care. There's enough shit going on in the world. I want to spread joy, love, and happiness, and that's what I'm feeling. So I want people to feel it as well.

[B]

I do have to tell you, lately I've been hearing your voice in my head. Anytime I feel, like, scared to do something or nervous about something, I just hear your voice in my head saying, like, the world is about to end. So just like, who cares? Just go for it if you're. Yeah.

[A]

But wait, you did finish your marital problem. With Brad. What's up?

[B]

So let's go back to it. Brad, you need to get back on the mic because I need to talk about something that you have done. Hold on. Let him run back to the.

[A]

Show your face, Brad, please.

[B]

Okay, so you need to tell me if I need to move on from my marriage because we have some people doing some work at the backyard right now. I mean, it's like hard work. They're like tearing up some concrete and stuff. And I said to Brad this morning, I go, oh, we should tell them they can use the bathroom inside if they need to use the bathroom. And he said, oh, I just told them they could pee behind the bush out back in the backyard.

[C]

I mean, they're guys. We don't need them tracking mud through the house.

[A]

That is really funny.

[B]

I was like, did you really tell them that? He said yes.

[C]

Well, they're only here for like a day. They didn't bring a porta potty.

[A]

What are we gonna do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think that's actually nice because I think men will know where men want to go to the bathroom. It's not like women can pretend to know what men their desires are. I'm sure they would rather pee outside than come into your house and worry about not making a mess. You know what I mean? That's probably true. I understand your initial shock, Katherine, but I think we can let Brad off the hook. I think he did the right thing, actually.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

He was thoughtful about it. He said, I don't want to use your inside bathroom.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Even better.

[C]

I was like, well, there's a bush out back in the corner. Go behind that. No one will ever see you. No harm in the fall.

[A]

And unless you go out into that area of the bush, Katherine, and rub your face around in the grass so there's nothing for you to be concerned about.

[C]

It's where the dogs go.

[B]

I mean, it is also where the dogs go. So they're going to have some fun smells to smell.

[A]

Great.

[E]

Wonderful.

[A]

So that's a nice treat for them.

[B]

You're off the hook. You're off the hook.

[C]

Thank you for your vote of confidence.

[B]

Well, Chelsea, I have an update and this is from Dwayne. It's a little long, it's cut down, but it's, it's, you know, still going to be long.

[A]

Okay I'm brace.

[B]

Still going to be long. Brace yourself. So Dwayne had called in. Dwayne, the Ronnie Johnson? Yes. Actually, he's wondering about creatine and how many hard boiled eggs he should eat.

[A]

He's already on the right program, whatever that.

[B]

He called in on a minisota about his mom's deadbeat boyfriend. And mom was like older, about to have some hip replacement surgery, and so Dwayne had to go deal with the boyfriend. So he says. Hi, Chelsea. Just wanted to give you an update on how things have gone since getting your advice. Before. My mom, now 81, could have her hip replacement surgery. She had to have some tests done to make sure it was safe for her to go under anesthesia. Long story short, she chose not to have the surgery due to her age and potential risks. As a result, she'll continue to use her walker and eventually move to a wheelchair. I took your advice and used these surgeries to try and talk her into selling her home and moving to a senior community. No luck there at all. I explained how she would keep her independence and with the services available at these 55 plus communities, she may even feel more independent along with having a better quality of life. After visiting her a couple months ago, I tried selling this to her a bit more because I was able to see she's only able to keep up with some of the housekeeping, not to mention the difficulty of stairs for the second floor. She would still not budge. Bob, the boyfriend, is still around, and while he does help with some things like shoveling snow and mowing the lawn, he doesn't clean the house. He's very capable, but no, she still feels he's better than nothing. On the upside though, I did talk her into taking your advice of going to an elder law attorney who got everything in order for us.

[A]

Great.

[B]

She placed me. Yes. Yeah, this. It has a. Has a good. A good swing here. She placed me as her beneficiary and power of attorney for both medical and financial. She also had the lawyer write up a sworn and notarized affidavit stating that her and Bob were just friends living together and she does not recognize them being in a civil union of any kind, including common law marriage, which is like. I didn't even know you could do that. That's awesome. I also spoke with the attorney on details so I could be assured that if anything did happen to my mom, that Bob had no rights to anything he shouldn't. She confirmed for me that he is not on any financial accounts and my mom is safe. As for the house, that's also ironclad protected from him taking possession. And I'm only required to give him 30 days to vacate. While I hope that time is far in the future, I have to admit that I look forward to saying those four magical words to him. Get the fuck out. Thank you so much for not only the advice you gave me, but also your advocacy. Educating, entertaining and incredible humor, Dwayne.

[A]

Oh, thanks, Dwayne. I love that, that. Thank you.

[B]

Yeah, so everything's working out pretty well there. And yeah, mom's protected financially, which is great.

[A]

So good. I love that. I love when our parents are protected financially.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

The female ones. Yeah.

[B]

And I also love that he went to a female lawyer. Like, great, wonderful.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

We love a she when we hear about a lawyer. Okay, so our caller today is Christina and she's calling in from Espana.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

She says, dear Chelsea, my name's Christina and I'm a 35 year old American that's been living abroad for nine years. I have lived and worked all over the world, from Vietnam to Australia and now I currently live in Spain. I absolutely love my nomadic lifestyle. I've learned so much about the world and I've grown so much as a person and I feel like I'm a better person because of it. But last year, after a trip to Colorado to visit my family, I found myself considering a move back to the United States to be closer to them. My parents are getting older and it's hard to see them age. I want to spend more time with them while they're still sprightly. I miss my 2 year old niece and I especially miss my sister, who's pregnant again with a boy due in the spring. I want to be a good auntie and be around to watch my niece and nephew grow up. I'm very nervous, however, about leaving my safe, comfortable life in Europe where there are no guns. I'm a teacher, free health care and affordable cost of living and a great work life balance to move back into Trump's America. Am I crazy to abandon the life I've built here? Thank you ladies for all you do. Your podcast keeps me sane amidst the craziness of the world. Christina.

[A]

Hi, Christina.

[B]

Hi.

[A]

Normally I would say, go be with your family, but honestly, I would not move to the United States at this stage in the game. I really just would not. It's not worth it. It's too ugly, it's too upsetting. You're leaving a peaceful place. I think I just hold on and see what happens? And hopefully things start to turn around after the midterms. And if not, then. Then you're gonna have to wait another couple years. But I honestly just would not come to the United States. It's like the worst decision you could make.

[D]

That's my dilemma. I know. That's what I feel like most sensible people would say.

[B]

Christina, are your folks having any health crises right now? Are they sort of, like, having trouble with daily live activities of daily living, or is it sort of stable at the moment?

[D]

They're fine. They're not, like, so old, you know, that they need somebody to be helping them all the time. But, you know, I just kind of think about when am I finally going to come back? Is it going to be like, when one of them needs a caretaker? Or what if something happens and I'm not around? I don't know. I just. I haven't felt this feeling of, you know, last year I went to visit and I felt like I didn't want to leave because I didn't want to leave my sister. I didn't want to leave my family. And I've never felt that in all of these years of living overseas. So it's just kind of been in my head and. And I'm not sure what to do.

[A]

Yeah, obviously, you know, if that feeling is more powerful than the feeling of trepidation, I guess to move to the States, then you should go with that feeling. But I just would never move to the States right now, no matter what.

[B]

I wonder if there is there an opportunity right now for you to, like, take a month or six weeks and come visit so you're not, like, moving your whole life, but you can come spend some quality time with your folks and with your sister, like maybe around the time the baby comes or maybe when they get a little more settled.

[D]

Well, I'm a teacher, so I have to wait until the end of the school year, which is in June, so I could go in the summer.

[A]

Yeah, that sounds more reasonable. Make it a temporary trip rather than a permanent one, you know, and test it out. Maybe you go and, like, things are calmed down, you know, maybe, like, things will. Who knows what's gonna happen next? That's the state that everyone is that I feel so uncomfortable about. It's just, like. It's very destabilizing and, you know, you don't know what is gonna happen next. So more information is better. And Spain is safe. Stay there right now.

[D]

Yeah, it's very safe.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'll be there soon.

[B]

Oh, good, good, good. I think also because you're a teacher and you have a year that you're committed to when you're teaching in class. One thing you might do is like, maybe you wait till next year to do this, but you might see, like, if you can get a job lined up here or if you can get some interview, if you do get something lined up and it makes sense to move in a year, year and a half, you know, maybe that's sort of your sign. But then you can also, like, know that you're moving back to have like a job and things are set up for you versus just sort of like, well, I'm gonna wing it and. And come home. And now you also have a boyfriend there. Is he also American?

[A]

Yeah, we both.

[D]

We left together, so we've been doing all of this traveling together.

[A]

Yeah, you're on the right track. Just stick with your honestly, like, don't rock the boat right now.

[D]

Okay. Yeah. But Katherine, to answer your question, I think he'll go wherever I go, so ultimately, whatever I want to do, he'll be on board.

[B]

Good. It's nice to have a man like that who's just like, all right, you get to make the big life decisions.

[D]

Yeah, Yeah. I call the shots and he'll help make it happen.

[A]

Oh, well, great. I love this for you. Your life is good. Just leave it alone right now and just. Let's hope for the best.

[B]

Yeah, you got it, Christina. All right, let us know what you decide to do and if you're able to like, find a job in a year, if you decide to move back, if you get to visit family. But let us know how it all goes. Okay?

[D]

Okay, I'll keep you updated.

[A]

Okay, thank you.

[B]

Thanks, Christina. Bye.

One thing I wanted to add. I thought this was just a little bit serendipitous. Got an email this week Chelsea from Lisa who for anybody who is not wanting to live in the United States anymore for a lot of reasons, Lisa says hello. Wanted to reach out and share with you something. I hope you can use your platform to share and help others with, especially with this Kansas law affecting the trans community. I'm a part of a large group of volunteers who put together a website full of resources to help vulnerable people leave the United States or at least make backup plans for their families if and when things get worse. The website is called Help Me Leave. It's for folks who are scared by the anti LGBTQ rules and laws taking place. The ice targeting etc listeners can find out more at www.helpmeleave.us and thank you for using your platform to speak up and out against this administration. Cheers, Lisa. So I thought that was, like, very interesting that we got that email this week while talking to someone who's considering a move back to this particular shit show. All right, well, we'll wrap up with a little quickie. This person says, dear Chelsea, I'm writing this email in hopes that you can provide some suggestions, patience, or some creative alternative. I sit next to a male, of course, coworker who clears his throat incessantly for about an hour after lunch every single day.

[A]

That is called acid reflux.

[B]

Yes, exactly. We've counted and it can be upwards of 38 throat clears in 20 minutes. Myself and a few surrounding co workers have made subtle and not so subtle comments. Think handing him mints, offering him to get water. Straight up asking, are you okay over there. He has every excuse in the book, from dust, dirt roads, greasy or spicy foods, allergies. A few of us even went to HR with no resolution. We're hoping his desk would be moved, but he has seniority, therefore it's not happening. I put in AirPods and blast music or your podcast, and I can hear him over it. I've run out of ideas on how to get my point across and don't see much help coming from management. Any suggestions or do I just need to deal with it?

[A]

You just need to have a direct conversation with him. Just make it be about yourself or your husband. Like, oh, my boyfriend went through this, so I know. Or I went through this I know.

[B]

Yeah, that's good.

[A]

You have acid reflux. He has acid reflux. I also have acid reflux, so if I smoke too many joints, my friends have to sit around and listen to me go, it's so fucking annoying, and I feel terrible. It doesn't stop me, but sometimes it does stop me. It does stop me.

[B]

Sometimes you switch to gummies for a while.

[A]

Yeah, I do, I do. I try not to. You know, like, when I start clearing my throat, I'm like, this is very annoying to people. So I think you just have a direct conversation and speak from experience. Like, even if it's a lie, just say, oh, you know, my husband dealt with this. I think you have acid reflux and there are, like, ways to help. You know, it is kind of. It's kind of annoying to hear someone clear their throat all the time.

[B]

Like, it's really distracting when I'm trying to get my work done.

[A]

If there's something you can do about it, there's something you can do about it. I take Prevacid, and there's also this like, vanilla extract online that you can get that like kind of.

[D]

It's.

[A]

I mean, acid reflux really is reactive to certain types of food and spices and all that stuff. But it's also when you lie down, it like kind of comes alive. But there's acid reflux and then there's like another component of acid reflux.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So it could be any of those things. But me and my girlfriend who's here right now in Whistler with me, she and I had, have had a long talks about acid reflux. Real sexy stuff going on over here.

[B]

Keep some Tums at your desk. And like, if all of us fails, get some noise canceling headphones, because they really do help us.

[A]

Oh, yeah, noise canceling headphones are good and that's a good idea. And once he. Yeah, once he walks around an office and sees everyone in noise canceling headphones, then I guess there's a situation that you have to deal with.

[B]

And then send him the bill for the headphones. Well, that's all we've got for today, Chelsea.
