Chelsea Handler (2:50)

Oh, I love that.

Catherine (2:51)

As soon as I get in the car, I tell Siri to play Dear Chelsea, and you and your guests are my company as I drive. Love it, Maggie.

Chelsea Handler (2:58)

Oh, that makes me happy. I love that.

Catherine (3:00)

Yeah.

Chelsea Handler (3:00)

Menopause Maggie.

Catherine (3:01)

Yep. Menopause, Maggie. Chelsea. We have two callers today for couples counseling. They are Kendall and Olivia. They are calling in from the east coast and they say, dear Chelsea, this is Kendall writing in. My girlfriend and I are both 24 years old. We met at UNH and have been together for two and a half years. I live in Mass and she lives in New Hampshire. And we can't decide on a third state to move to. I don't want to move back to New Hampshire as I went to school there, and we don't want to stay in Mass as we've been doing long distance back and forth from both states. Any help on how to decide on a third state to move to or any states you love being in? Love you both so much. Thanks for any help, Kendall. So we'll wait for Olivia before we respond, but I have thoughts.

Chelsea Handler (3:46)

I do, too. Yeah, right off the top of my head.

Catherine (3:49)

Yes.

Chelsea Handler (3:50)

Well, we can get started. We'll just wait for her to pop in and then we'll recap. What about Connecticut?

Olivia (3:55)

That's a good one. I have been there a couple times before.

Chelsea Handler (3:57)

I mean, if you're already on the East. Do you like the east coast? Like that Eastern seaboard?

Olivia (4:01)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chelsea Handler (4:02)

I like that part of the country, too. That's kind of my. That's where I'm from. I'm from New Jersey, so it's not quite, but I grew up on the Cape, so I like that vibe. I like New Hampshire. I like Massachusetts. I think Connecticut is a nice compromise between the two, and it still has the same vibe that you're used to.

Olivia (4:18)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. We've also gone to Portland, Maine a couple times.

Chelsea Handler (4:22)

Oh, yeah. Portland, Maine is awesome.

Catherine (4:24)

It's, like, so fun and quaint, but.

Chelsea Handler (4:26)

There'S like, tons of stuff, especially for Lesbians.

Catherine (4:28)

Yes.

Olivia (4:29)

Right?

Chelsea Handler (4:30)

Yeah. What don't you like about. Hi. Hi. We were just talking about, we were just talking about your future and whether or not you're gonna move to Connecticut or Maine.

Olivia (4:40)

Sounds good.

Chelsea Handler (4:41)

Yeah, those two we've been talking about a little bit. So Portland, Maine. Whenever I perform, whenever I go to Portland, Maine, I always want an extra day there because I just love that food and I love Portland. I find that just to be just a cool, cool town all the way through as it's like a, like a mini city, you know, it's totally manageable and there's a lot of like minded people there. You can pack up your lesbian Birkenstocks and just go up there together and hit it. Hit it. Connecticut, I was mentioning. But Connecticut has certain parts that are really beautiful and certain parts that are a bit more rough. And I'm thinking, like the beautiful parts are really pretty expensive. But there are like cities like Hartford and you know, there are cities in Connecticut that could be. I mean, it would be worth doing a little like trip where you guys go to like hang out in some cities in Connecticut. Go to Stanford, go to Hartford or you don't want to go to Boston. Right. Because you're from Mass.

Olivia (5:35)

Yeah. And we're, we're not big city people.

Chelsea Handler (5:38)

Okay.

Catherine (5:38)

Okay.

Chelsea Handler (5:39)

So I would say go to Portland first and see what the vibe is there. If you guys like that, go for a weekend and see how you like it.

Craig Melvin (7:52)

Watch the Today show with Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, weekdays at 7am on NBC.

Catherine (7:59)

What kind of stuff do you guys like to do? Are you hikers? What are you doing for fun time?

Chelsea Handler (8:03)

I feel like I'm more of, like, outdoorsy kind of stuff. I mean, but we both like doing the crafty side of things, too, like the pottery, the wine sip and paint nights, those kinds of things.

Olivia (8:14)

And lives. Always been a big skier, but I've never skied in my life. Chelsea, believe it or not. But we want to get into snowboarding, actually.

Chelsea Handler (8:22)

So what about Vermont?

Olivia (8:24)

Oh, I haven't been to Vermont. Like, as an adult.

Chelsea Handler (8:27)

Vermont's pretty cool. I don't know where. I haven't been to Vermont in so many years. I'm just trying to think of, like, what the main cities there are.

Catherine (8:35)

Montpelier.

Chelsea Handler (8:36)

Montpelier. But Vermont is cool. But once you're on the east coast, then you can have access to those ski places. I mean, there's Camelback, there's a bunch. There's, you know, in Connecticut, there's Stowe, there's Killington. So you can have access to all those places once you're in that area. And then there's Rhode island, there's Providence, there's Provincetown. That's super gay.

Catherine (8:59)

Yeah.

Chelsea Handler (9:00)

That's fun. I mean, I've been there a bunch of times, and that's a blast. And Providence, Rhode island is awesome.

Catherine (9:06)

Yeah.

Chelsea Handler (9:06)

I don't know what the cost of living is there. Like, if it's expensive, I probably seemingly. But I'm sure, you know, there's areas in all of these places that kind of go across the board from more affordable to less affordable.

Catherine (9:19)

And if you do decide to venture away from the eastern seaboard, I will say Chicago is an amazing city to be young and gay in. It is a great place. You can head up to Andersonville, which is like, a lot of cities have like a boys town, but that's where all the lesbians live.

Chelsea Handler (9:34)

Like, that's funny. Yeah, all the boys town. There are lots of lesbians in boys.

Catherine (9:38)

Not a lot of cities have a spot for everyone.

Chelsea Handler (9:40)

Yes, well, at least gay men are allowing gay women to take over versus straight men allowing straight women to take over.

Catherine (9:47)

And then I would also say go to the other Portland. Like, check out Portland, Oregon. It's fantastic. There's lots of outdoorsy stuff, but also lots of creative people. But I love your idea, Chelsea, of like, go for a weekend. Like, do a three day weekend in a bunch of different cities. Get an Airbnb, walk around and make.

Chelsea Handler (10:04)

Sure you incorporate all the things you love. You know, like, make sure you incorporate the outdoorsy aspects and like, the crafting aspects. Do your research before you go so that you can get all that stuff in. Like, make sure you go into the restaurants that you're interested in, going to, the kind of style of food you like to eat, and so that you're experiencing the city. And don't just stay in one area of that city. Really, really take in the city.

Olivia (10:27)

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Thank you guys so much.

Catherine (10:30)

Yeah, best of luck. And let us know where you settle. Okay. Or where you start visiting and love and that sort of thing. Okay?

Olivia (10:36)

Yeah, definitely.

Chelsea Handler (10:37)

And congrats on being together and being in a happy, successful relationship, girls.

Catherine (10:41)

Thank you.

Chelsea Handler (10:42)

Right?

Olivia (10:42)

You don't hear that that often anymore.

Chelsea Handler (10:44)

I know. It's nice to see, though.

Catherine (10:46)

All right, have a great day and check back.

Olivia (10:49)

And Chelsea, can I just back up Brittany Broski and say thank you for the interview you did with Harry Styles? Like, when she said that, I was like, oh, my God. Yes. Someone's noticing it.

Catherine (11:01)

Doing the good work.

Chelsea Handler (11:03)

Bye.

Catherine (11:04)

So cute.

Chelsea Handler (11:05)

Oh, wow. That was a quick one. Okay, wow. One and done. All in a day's work, everybody. All in a day's work.

Catherine (11:11)

We'll see you next time.
