I'm Kendall Landriff.
Jordan Myrick
And I'm Jordan Myrick.
Kendall Landriff
And we are two incredibly unqualified but.
Jordan Myrick
Deeply in love comedians who are here to help you with all things relationship. And on today's podcast, we're joined by. By one of our favorite people, Angela Giritana, to talk being a wing woman. Hi, Angela. So happy to have you. You know, we love you so much. I love you. We adore you.
Angela Giritana
We have so long.
Jordan Myrick
I know we're all presences on the Internet now, but we know each other from comedy boom. Live comedy Boom. Every boom. Yes. Costco Gu.
Angela Giritana
I. I met him.
Jordan Myrick
Tell me more at VidCon. Wow.
Angela Giritana
I. I mean, I kind of walked by him.
Kendall Landriff
You didn't say hi.
Jordan Myrick
I know him intimately. What was the vibe?
Angela Giritana
Trapped.
Jordan Myrick
He filmed Boy or the dad?
Angela Giritana
The boy. The dad was happy to be there.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, yeah.
Angela Giritana
He seemed a tad trapped, but it's about us, not them.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
So true. I'm.
Kendall Landriff
We will not let them take another.
Jordan Myrick
Guys taking up your podcast here.
Angela Giritana
I am bringing up two men.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Okay. So when I asked you what you wanted to talk about on your episode, you were like, I'm the best wing woman.
Angela Giritana
Okay. And that's crazy to say, but I looked at your catalog of episodes, and I think there's a part of love, dating, and relationships that you're not touching on, and it's the other people in the room. And I'm currently in a part of my life where I'm the other people in the room.
Jordan Myrick
Got it. So you're not actively trying to date as much, you're trying to actively help other people date.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, I am in that fudgeing phase. Where can I guess?
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Yes. I don't know why, for a second I was like, is this a kid's show?
Jordan Myrick
This is a children's cartoon. Wait, is this a kid's show? Really fast and it's live. Stop cursing.
Angela Giritana
But you know, some of our content, sometimes it's like, is this kid.
Jordan Myrick
You never know. Yeah. Being on YouTube is so hard because it's like you kind of want it to be for both children and adult perverts is what it feels like.
Kendall Landriff
I was gonna say the line between this is for children and this is pornography is very slim.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Once you introduce adults into, like, adults making content, it's. It feels questionable. It's kids, you know, it's always for kids. Right. Once it's adults. And then adults are doing, like, a weird game. You're like. Or something.
Kendall Landriff
Just very like. I remember working at a restaurant, I walked by a kid on a tablet, and he was just watching a woman do laundry. And I was like, could be anything.
Jordan Myrick
You're like, what is this?
Angela Giritana
Yeah, he was watching a woman do laundry.
Kendall Landriff
I didn't like.
Angela Giritana
Probably learning.
Kendall Landriff
Trust me, I saw his dad. That little boy is never going to pick up laundry in his life.
Jordan Myrick
I can tell you that right now.
Kendall Landriff
Okay. But you are also probably observing a lot of relationships.
Angela Giritana
Yes. And I brag. Not a lot lot about a lot of things. I can brag about being an incredible, like, plus one to a wedding. I'm incredible at it. Being a. A wing woman to a friend, that's like trying to get somebody. I have a couple great. Just great facts and stories. I think if I had to add up my stats, I think 90% of my wing womaning has landed with someone getting what they wanted. Wow.
Jordan Myrick
Well, that is good that you're already bringing that up because our fans immediately wanted to hold your feet to the fire.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
And they were. Give us one successful wing womaning story that you have. Like, what's your best one? Where did you have the most success?
Angela Giritana
Okay. I might have already said this on a podcast before, and that's.
Jordan Myrick
These people only listen to this podcast.
Angela Giritana
Perfect. That's the kind of audience I love. I did something once that my best friend and I still talk about where she had a crush on a man and we were going to see. See his band play somewhere.
Kendall Landriff
Oh, boy.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. And that's like, that's an interesting wing woman. Right. Because she doesn't want to sit in the crowd by herself. But then after, she kind of just wants to talk to him. Right. So I can't be in the way too much. But then I have to be actively available.
Jordan Myrick
You're thoughtful.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. So I. I can't look like, like dead weight. I'm kind of riding single rider. Right on the. On the Disneyland.
Jordan Myrick
You guys are in the line together, but then once it comes to getting on the ride, you're on your own.
Angela Giritana
Exactly. Like, if she wants to enjoy the ride alone, I am not with you, but I am still there. Just in case you need something.
Jordan Myrick
I'm in the theme park when you get off.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. Literally.
Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Angela Giritana
So she had a very. That was the situation. And he was kind of a mess. And from the jump it looked like he liked her but wasn't going to make any move to talk to her.
Kendall Landriff
Having straight girlfriends is so hard. And I will say specifically about this as a lesbian, never have been on a date with a woman or been seeing a woman who's ever asked me to see her band live. Every straight woman I know is like, I'm seeing this guy and he's performing with his band. And I always, I've asked multiple times what does he play? And she's like, what? Doesn't really play anything. But he's in it. He's playing the drums. I'm like, what is that? Well, but people, they're so confident. They say I can be in a band.
Angela Giritana
100. And this story I think is her second to last guy she ever dated. Cuz she's done with men now and now she just dates women. And I was like, yeah. Cuz this was, this was one of those times where you're like, oh man, wow. We are really just here to see this band and this isn't good. And he is not nice, man. So we. There was a moment I remembered I was really talented at. This was when we do the, the hang after and we're kind of navigating backstage. Yeah, no, no, we're at the bar. It was like a show at a bar.
Jordan Myrick
Got it.
Angela Giritana
And we kind of. It would have been cool to go backstage. No, it was like kind of just like we're going to now drink. Everyone was watching the show and all of his friends were there and it was just kind of us and his friends and the band and his friends knew the band. So it was very obvious. We were kind of like sticking out. So immediately.
Kendall Landriff
But she came as a date. Like they'd been seeing each other kinda, but he wasn't really giving her a ton of attention.
Angela Giritana
He was like, come see how my band. I don't think they had made like the. Done the full. Like we're really seeing each other yet. It was kind of like a hookup situation.
Jordan Myrick
So they had hooked up.
Angela Giritana
I think so. I remember them getting like pretty far into it, but nothing, nothing. Like I don't. I remember them just like she, she has a fat crush on him and that's what we got. Right. And I remember there being a lot of girls who surrounded this boy and I took them out.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, physically, okay.
Angela Giritana
What I did. Physically I just. Okay. So one I Will never forget this one moment. She was sitting down, right? And then there was an empty space. And I was sitting across from them, and this girl sits right next to him, Right. And I was like, that's a spot for my friend. My friend's supposed to sit there. And I talked to this girl, and somehow I got her to physically get up and come to me. Wow. Because I went. Because I just. She was.
Kendall Landriff
We're each other.
Angela Giritana
I was like, oh, my God, Where'd you get your shirt? And she was like, Forever 21. I stole it. And for some reason, this was in my. Yes. Ending people that I shouldn't. Yes. And phase. I went, I steal my clothes too.
Jordan Myrick
Do you?
Angela Giritana
She goes, no. She goes, no way at all. Get up here right now. Get up here right now. Let me see the back of this blouse. For some reason, I was like, I need to see the full thing. She gets up, she turns, and I go, oh, my God. And I was like, let's. I, like, move her over. I literally moved her. And when I moved her over and then my friend took that and sat right down.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
I was like, whoa. It was like that movie. That scene in those movies where they look at their powers in the mirror and they're like, wow.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But did you feel guilty? Because that other girl seems nice.
Angela Giritana
I was hired for a job.
Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Kendall Landriff
Right.
Jordan Myrick
You're just like, no remorse because you can't think about it. You just gotta get in and get out and do what you have to do.
Kendall Landriff
But did you also feel bad that now your friend is maybe gonna see this guy who kind of sucks?
Angela Giritana
Well, at the time, we were like, 23, so I should have mentioned that at. At the jump. Is that we are both blind in so many ways. Like, why was I saying, like, I steal clothes too, just to make a friend.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Not the way to do it, but I got her up, and then I remember they made out that night.
Kendall Landriff
Oh, wow. So that's amazing. That's a true wing woman.
Angela Giritana
So if they want my feet to the fire, I got stuff.
Jordan Myrick
Wow. I want to know, have you ever helped get any couples together that people may know publicly?
Angela Giritana
I don't think you guys might know them. Do you guys know Connor McCabe?
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
And Amanda Tarver?
Jordan Myrick
Oh, they're so sweet.
Kendall Landriff
You got them together?
Angela Giritana
Got them. Them together.
Kendall Landriff
Wow.
Jordan Myrick
Wow. We love them.
Angela Giritana
I was grieving at a bar after a show.
Jordan Myrick
I had Angela.
Angela Giritana
I had found out. It was like, after show, we all went to 4100, and my. And I had found out one of My dear family members died, and I got absolutely wasted. And then I was with the both of them, and I don't know why.
Kendall Landriff
They just bonded over being like, this is so awkward.
Angela Giritana
I remember just being like it all. And then I remember looking at them being like, you guys are always around, and you both always offer me water. You guys should hang. And then I remember talking to her on the side and then talking to him on the side that night. It was like. It was like my last night alive is what it felt like.
Jordan Myrick
They've been together for years and are deeply in love.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. And. Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Wow. They're. Well, Connor is from up near where Kendall's from.
Angela Giritana
Okay.
Jordan Myrick
So we ran into them at the airport recently. We were all on the same flight.
Angela Giritana
Oh. Because they go on trips with families all the time.
Kendall Landriff
They. With families.
Jordan Myrick
Their families.
Angela Giritana
And I think if I wing woman in the early dating stages, I should be able to wing woman in the fun. We're going into Hawaii all expenses paid. Because why is she there?
Jordan Myrick
I agree. Why she agree?
Kendall Landriff
Well, she wouldn't be there if it wasn't for you.
Jordan Myrick
So you think you and Connor should go, and then Amanda is not invited on her.
Angela Giritana
No, I think me and Amanda should go, and Connor's parents should pay for it.
Jordan Myrick
Okay. Yeah. No, And I agree with that.
Kendall Landriff
But so with them, you said, okay, you both get me water. You both care about hydration. You're both caring, empathetic. What is, like, do you. Do you look for people who would be good together? Are you always kind of thinking, oh, those two people would be good together, or are you kind of just like, I'm here to just get whoever wants to be together together? It's not my business.
Angela Giritana
I'd say, like, how like a. Like a baseball player. There's like. Like, they're good at, like, fields stuff. And then some are good at batting.
Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah, I understand.
Angela Giritana
Like, some are good at base work with the bases, and some are good with batting. I think matchmaking is a skill of mine, but it isn't my leading skill. My leading skill is going to an event, navigating that event, and. And finding the social obstacles in front of my target.
Kendall Landriff
Right.
Angela Giritana
And my client.
Kendall Landriff
And eliminated taking them out.
Angela Giritana
And taking them out.
Jordan Myrick
Sniper.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Wow. That's unbelievable. Do you feel like wing womaning helps you in your other aspects of your life, or does it really only apply to your friends romantic lives? Because what happens if and when all your friends have partners? Does the skill just die off if it's, you know, you don't Use it, you lose it.
Angela Giritana
No, that's true. I think. Yeah. What I'm probably good at also, like, by proxy, is just being a good plus one to event that kind of sucks. Like, when, like, you have, like, an event that's kind of like, I. I've been to weddings before with a partner when that partner's like, do you want to come? Like, and they're like, you're not going to know anybody. And then there are groomsmen. I remember is what happened with my old ex boyfriend, and I was like, yeah, I'll go. And I was so good at not being in the way. And then when he needed me, I showed up. But then I just, like, hung out with this old lady photographer the whole time. But so I wasn't, like, one of those, like, plus ones that's, like, sitting there like, yeah, where's my time?
Kendall Landriff
And he's not feeling like, oh, I got to go over and make sure it's okay.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. So I'd say it does transfer over, especially, like, those awful, like, brand parties.
Kendall Landriff
I don't. We don't go to those. And I said, no more of those. I tapped. I tapped out on those.
Jordan Myrick
I will need your help, though, because we are going to a wedding in Italy later this year, so that's one.
Angela Giritana
Of those things that I can do.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah, we need you to come. No, unfortunately, you can't come unless you pay for it, because we also had to pay for it.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. And I'll do that.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. You can come to Italy with us if you want to. We're going to, like, four cities. It's going to be great. Cute.
Kendall Landriff
But we'd be such a good throuple.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, we would be a great darling.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. It would be more of, like, a family.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Kendall Landriff
Yes.
Jordan Myrick
Because you're our baby.
Angela Giritana
I think you guys would remind me to brush my teeth.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Angela Giritana
If I'm being fully honest.
Jordan Myrick
Thank you for.
Kendall Landriff
You said. Just to clarify, we could be a family, but I'm not attracted to you. The only difference would be, like, I.
Jordan Myrick
Could never kiss either.
Angela Giritana
No.
Jordan Myrick
Kids are attracted to their parents.
Angela Giritana
Sometimes I think it would just be in the. The way that I feel so taken care of by both of you.
Jordan Myrick
We are, I would say, caretakers.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
Do you.
Jordan Myrick
Wait. But I was gonna say we're going to this wedding. Yeah, we're going to this wedding. And Kendall is in the bridal party, and I don't know anyone.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
And I'm not in the bridal party, and it's in Italy, so I think I'M gonna do a good job. You're great at that, though.
Angela Giritana
I'm small talk.
Jordan Myrick
I'm good at strangers. I moved around a lot, so I think that kind of acclimatized me to being like, hello, I'm Jordan. Nice to meet you. But I'm a little nervous.
Angela Giritana
I actually can't wait for the stories till after. Cause Kendall's gonna be like, I look over, Jordan's making mozzarella in the back with the cake.
Kendall Landriff
That is what it'll be. Well, we had. Oh, my God, maybe this was years ago, but we had what I would say we had a party at our home that I did not enjoy because what was this? It was the 2022 cookie swap of.
Jordan Myrick
You're such a bitch about that from hell.
Kendall Landriff
So I. Jordan's like, I want to do a cookie swap. Which, first of all, a cookie swap sounds cute. But what. When in actuality, you then have. And I'm not kidding, 2,000 cookies.
Jordan Myrick
No. Everybody brings Tupperware and they take cookies.
Angela Giritana
You kind of walk away with like a assortment, but they don't do it because it's all.
Kendall Landriff
We live in la. So every person goes, oh, I brought it gluten free.
Jordan Myrick
I'm not able to eat the rest of the cookies.
Kendall Landriff
And then I'm stuck with 8,000 cookies. Jordan didn't buy milk. There's a whole other argument we won't even speak about. But Jordan, we invite a bullet.
Angela Giritana
Hit you hard.
Jordan Myrick
I didn't know that was, like, necessary. I don't like milk with cookies, but I didn't think it was, like, necessary. And also, I'm like, we weren't doing, like, warm, chalky chips. We were doing, like, Christmas cookies.
Kendall Landriff
I had a girl come up to me. And this plays in to what I'm going to say later. Didn't know who this person was. She comes up to me, her voice is raspy. She's.
Jordan Myrick
I feel very overwhelmed. Is there any milk?
Kendall Landriff
That was the vibe of this party.
Angela Giritana
And you think the rasp was because she was quenching thirsty.
Kendall Landriff
She had 80 cookies. And she was so.
Jordan Myrick
She was bone dry.
Kendall Landriff
She was bone dry. And she was overwhelmed because it was so loud.
Angela Giritana
You were like, my wife didn't buy any milk.
Kendall Landriff
No milk. We live in a tiny apartment. And this gets back to Jordan's very social where it started. The guest list is, you know, oh, 10 people will have come to the cookie party over. We planned it too early. So over the course of two months, I heard Jordan, we'd be walking the dog. Jordan's talking to an old elderly woman who doesn't even live near us. She just happens to be walking by. Come to our cookie party. Come to our cookie party, everyone.
Jordan Myrick
I like everybody to be included.
Angela Giritana
I think that's my favorite thing about you.
Jordan Myrick
I never want anybody to feel left out. It was so sweet.
Kendall Landriff
But I'm telling you, when this cookie party begins, everyone shows up on time. We live in a small apartment. I would say 300 people were there.
Jordan Myrick
That's absolutely draining.
Angela Giritana
300 people and not one drop of milk is crazy.
Jordan Myrick
My birdie said she was about to have a panic attack. Well, I have a lot to say to her at the party.
Angela Giritana
Me.
Kendall Landriff
If she said, I'm thirsty and I feel like I'm enough panic. You could not hear anyone. There were people with their kids there. I'm like, whose kid is that? Whose kid is running around?
Angela Giritana
It was crazy.
Kendall Landriff
But Jordan can talk to anybody and become immediately just like, well, of course we have to. We have to invite Lorraine. I'm like, who's Lor. Who's Lorraine?
Jordan Myrick
You met her at the post office. I'm like, oh, my God, we're at the party. Drop in the comments if you had a good time. Because I knew they're dead from other thought of it. Could have had a good time.
Angela Giritana
I'm in the silent majority. And I was at the cookie party.
Jordan Myrick
This was years ago. Years and years ago. Four to five years ago. Kendall's still upset about it.
Kendall Landriff
I'm just saying you're great at making years ago.
Angela Giritana
Sounds like during COVID 300, it was.
Jordan Myrick
A super spreader event for sure. Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
With no milk. Wasn't even worth it.
Jordan Myrick
Actually, before COVID we was actually. We did this in January of 2020. Well, then, of course.
Kendall Landriff
And then, of course, by the time I said, I'm putting my foot down, I'm getting some fucking milk. I said, because Jordan's been. We don't need milk. Then, like, two hours. And I said, people are dying, Jordan. We got to get milk.
Jordan Myrick
People are freaking out. This is Kendall, though. So the person is like, do you have any milk? And Kendall's like, everyone. Everyone needs milk. I'm insane.
Kendall Landriff
Down to a cookie party with no milk. So I wanted milk. I said, people have got it. And no one wants to say, of course people are freaking out, though. People internally are like, where's the milk? This is insane. Who would throw a cookie party? So I finally say, I don't care what you think. I'm taking my money and my wallet. I'm going to get Some milk.
Jordan Myrick
I come back, same money.
Kendall Landriff
I come back, remind everyone, I bought, like, four things of almond milk, two things of oat milk, whole milk, 2%.
Angela Giritana
So much milk.
Jordan Myrick
Kendall.
Kendall Landriff
I bought so much milk, I'm lugging it. I had to have our roommate Charles bring it in with me because he's a little bit more buff. And we come in, and then, of course, people are, oh, I'm gonna head out. Then people start leaving, probably because there was no milk. I'm stuck with, we had gallons of milk.
Jordan Myrick
But this, I think, is very indicative of us is that I'm like, we don't need milk. And Kendall's like, we need so much milk.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
And we needed to meet in the middle anyway.
Jordan Myrick
Not as beautiful. And that's learning.
Angela Giritana
I can't get over you saying she had a raspy voice. Cause she needed milk. I need some milk, please. I'm having a panic attack, and I need milk. It's Christmas time, and I'm at the worst cookie party in the world.
Jordan Myrick
It was awesome. Everybody loved it, and so many people made good cookies. But there are sometimes people who are like, this is my thing. I'm like, if you can't do a good job at some kind of potluck, food swap, whatever, you need to go buy something. Yeah, you need to go buy something. Because sometimes people will show up to something like this, and they'll be like, well, I'm not really good at baking. So I stuck my foot in a pan and then put butter on it, and then you guys can suck.
Kendall Landriff
That was Lorraine from the post office.
Jordan Myrick
And I didn't even want to.
Angela Giritana
Sounds like a great girl.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. So we let her do it, But. But do you know what I mean? Just, like, in general, I'm like, just please go to a patisserie and get something good if you can't cook yourself.
Angela Giritana
I was at a chill, intimate hang. I'd say about, like, 12 people. And it was like, a night where, like, we all brought something, but it wasn't labeled a potluck. But it was at dinner time.
Jordan Myrick
I hate that.
Angela Giritana
And there were two individuals there that all night, I. And not to their face, but to everyone around, I go, did you see them bring anything? Because it was just two men and friends of mine, and I couldn't look them in the eye and ask them, because I'm a fucking coward. But I was stunned that they walked into an event without anything in their hands, sat down, ate everything. That was all brought communally.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah, of course.
Angela Giritana
And left and didn't say, didn't to me, that is. It was like one of the craziest things to witness. I was like, like, he's just gonna eat that.
Kendall Landriff
Because manners, Angela, have gone out the window. Because people are like, well, I feel like we think of manners. We're like, oh, that's all repressive society. You know, like your mom making you.
Jordan Myrick
Like, I don't know, write a thank you card or something.
Kendall Landriff
No, that's. But we need to be doing that like that.
Jordan Myrick
What?
Kendall Landriff
You have to write a thank you card. I'm huge on that, actually.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah, I thought you were saying, like, people are being like, oh, stuff like that. Your mom would make you do manners. Like, don't burp.
Kendall Landriff
That's disgusting. Which actually I also agree with, but. Or like free the nipple burp.
Angela Giritana
Trying to get right the thing.
Kendall Landriff
What did you call it?
Angela Giritana
A nipple Free the nipple burp. Like all the.
Kendall Landriff
Just there's things like that where it's like, we need to be more free. Screw those. Like.
Jordan Myrick
You hate burping.
Kendall Landriff
No, I know. That's why it says a bad example. Let's just be cool right now because I'm trying to get this thought out. But I'm doing bad examples. For example, like, okay, yeah, okay. If I didn't mind trying to think like a manner that feels very like Christian household. You're not supposed to. You've got to blah, blah, blah, like.
Jordan Myrick
A fork and dinner fork.
Angela Giritana
We're not doing the pledge of Allegiance anymore.
Jordan Myrick
Right. We're not Household.
Angela Giritana
Household thing.
Jordan Myrick
It's like doing the pledge of Allegiance.
Angela Giritana
We're praying we're not doing that anymore.
Kendall Landriff
So we've kind of thrown that out the window. And in that people have been like. And screw everything else. And I'm like, you're showing up to someone's house empty handed, burping, probably with no thank you card planned for the future. You got to do a thank you card. You're just taking money from people you're expecting. And I'm like, we got to get back to some manners.
Angela Giritana
We absolutely do.
Kendall Landriff
We really do. But. So you're going to Italy and you're.
Angela Giritana
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Jordan Myrick
And I don't know anyone. Right.
Angela Giritana
I think you're gonna be just fine.
Jordan Myrick
Thank you.
Kendall Landriff
But what advice would you give to someone who maybe is not as social as Jordan? Yep.
Jordan Myrick
Someone who's fine.
Kendall Landriff
Maybe someone who's in the bridal party.
Jordan Myrick
Cause you don't know anyone in the bridal party.
Kendall Landriff
No, I don't. And I'll tell you, they are. They're very Pretty ladies.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, God.
Angela Giritana
Oh my God. I've been in a bridal party before that I didn't belong in.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah. Where I am like, well, I'm the of the group is kind of the vibe. Sure.
Angela Giritana
And you kind of feel like the personality higher.
Kendall Landriff
Yes.
Jordan Myrick
But did you. Kendall's walking around the house being like, well, you know, I'm the gay one, you know, and everyone else is. Didn't you find out that one of the other girls is gay?
Kendall Landriff
Yeah, but I.
Angela Giritana
Well, she can't be. You have to be the one gay one.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
You gotta kill her.
Kendall Landriff
Which means. That's not what I know.
Angela Giritana
Send her a thank you card. Say no.
Kendall Landriff
No.
Jordan Myrick
Say no thank you.
Kendall Landriff
She's gay, but she's a gay person. That would be probably like cast on a reality TV show cuz she's hot. You know what I mean?
Angela Giritana
She'd be on the commercial gay.
Kendall Landriff
She's commercial gay. She's commercial gay. And I'm commercial gay. But different commercials, you know what I mean? Like I'm like a geico gay.
Jordan Myrick
She's like, like skin care, skincare gay. You're like gum.
Kendall Landriff
I'm gum gay. I'm like nerd. Or what was the one? The Airheads where they'd explode and like the people. The Skittles where they'd like explode in it.
Jordan Myrick
Oh no.
Kendall Landriff
Capri sun. They'd step on the Capri sun and.
Jordan Myrick
Then one of them would like explode.
Kendall Landriff
And they'd be, I don't know. That's me. I am in the bridesmaid party.
Angela Giritana
When you're at a wedding, I feel like a thing that's helped me is like, like a. Like a. During the reception, kind of being like kind of hot out here, huh? To one guy or being like, should have brought my shades. Right. You thought of the great. You thought of a good idea with the shades. And then boom. Bond right off the jump.
Jordan Myrick
That's your entry.
Angela Giritana
Then location change. Suddenly your besties. Because you're like, remember the shade Spit.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
So I say start early.
Jordan Myrick
That's okay.
Kendall Landriff
Get in there early.
Jordan Myrick
As soon as you get to the wedding.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. Be like, oh, table 12. Looking good, huh? See if anybody bites.
Jordan Myrick
It's just like fishing.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, it. I've never fished and it feels just like fishing.
Jordan Myrick
I can't believe you've never fished. You seem like a fisherman. Born and raised.
Angela Giritana
I grew up in the Valley.
Jordan Myrick
No, you. But you seem like you would fish.
Angela Giritana
Oh my God. Is it the hat?
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. You seem like you would have fished before. Not that you regularly fish.
Angela Giritana
Oh my God.
Jordan Myrick
But I believe that you have fished.
Angela Giritana
Wow.
Jordan Myrick
I fished. I know. Thank you.
Kendall Landriff
They want to hear everything one time.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
And then they say never again. Don't repeat it.
Angela Giritana
Well, that was the fact that I was fish.
Jordan Myrick
Thank you, baby. I everything one time.

Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
You feel like it benefits you in your own dating life?
Angela Giritana
I was going to say I feel like. Because it's kind of like you don't know what's really good food unless you've had it. You know, Like, I think a lot of people haven't had such good wing womaning that they don't really know the depths they could go to. And sometimes I'll see friends not really give me the same wing womaning back.
Jordan Myrick
They're not paying it forward.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. But they're doing what they can. And I can't blame them that I have this inherent talent.
Jordan Myrick
But.
Kendall Landriff
So do you think that's hindering your dating ability?
Angela Giritana
I think I have to. I think when I choose. Okay. This is so actory. You know, like when you're doing a self tape.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
And you need a good reader for that part. You need. For me, I have to pick a good wing woman for the event.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Wing person. Because I'll have to like be like, what? What would they like? Because I'm just such a people pleaser that it's hard for me to even have a wing woman. Because I'm gonna be like, are you good? Are you good? Like, are you having fun?
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Like I brought a friend to a stupid brand event that I thought would be fun and have gift bags. And it was in Santa Monica. So far.
Jordan Myrick
They're all in Santa Monica.
Angela Giritana
We went so far.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
And there was no gift bag. And the whole time I couldn't stop apologizing. To my friend that there wasn't a gift back. Like, I'm really sorry. We should have just stayed on the east side. I'm so sorry. I really thought we would come all the way over here and get a little bit of blush. I'm so sorry. And I just couldn't sit in the fact that, like, and she wasn't even there to help me, like, do anything. I just, I. It's hard for me to be loved. It's easier for me to love.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But that means ask. Are you good at wing womaning yourself? Cause that's something that a lot of our fans wanted to know. Are you able to take those techniques you use to help other people and apply them to your own dating strategy?
Kendall Landriff
I'm just picturing you pulling someone off a stool and then being like, spin around, spin around. And then you're sitting down and being.
Angela Giritana
Like, hello, that girl over there is funny. Hey, well, this. Okay, okay. I'm going to ask you a follow up. What do you think wing womaning yourself looks like? Like, if you've. Have you ever done it? And what does that look like?
Kendall Landriff
I've done it, I would say, because I have zero patience. So if I ever like someone, I'm like, how do I make them understand that I'm in love with them in five minutes? Do you know what I mean? Like, I'm immediately like, let's get in there. So I'm very quick to, like, find who their friend is, talk to their friend, and be like, what's going on with your? Who's going on? What's going on over here? Getting the intel and the information. Which I feel like if I had a wing woman, I'd be like, you go get the intel and you get the information. It's a little more mysterious.
Angela Giritana
You're a little bit more like, pointed and forward.
Kendall Landriff
Yes. So I feel like I'm doing that and then I am. Once I have all that information, I'm seeking out. That.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
And being like, hello.
Angela Giritana
That actually made me realize I think I'm a good wing woman. Because the environment I grew up understanding dating was a Christian environment. And that's all group dates and group hangs.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, wow.
Angela Giritana
And there you go. Because I was like, why am I so much better serving myself and others with groups? But then when I'm by myself, it's like a little more scary for me. And probably because I was told you can't go on a solo date until you're married or something. Insane. Yeah, I wasn't told that.
Jordan Myrick
But, yeah, I agree with Kendall. I think I'm pretty good at wing womaning myself, because so many of our friends are bad at wingman. Or wing.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Personing.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
I will never forget our tune. Oh.
Angela Giritana
I'd say never been a winged person of mine, but I can tell is a good one, huh?
Jordan Myrick
The opposite.
Angela Giritana
No.
Jordan Myrick
The opposite.
Kendall Landriff
No.
Jordan Myrick
I am at an improv show. Like, a mashup show. There's a girl there that I have a crush on. We've, like, kind of been talking, but, like, nothing's really happened yet. And our Tune and I were on the same mashup team. Our toon, one of my nearest and dearest.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Artoon. Who I've done so much for and would continue to do anything for despite the story. Our was like, no, I got your back. I'm gonna make you look so good up there. My guy, he, like, gives me a little fist bump. He's like, we got this. I'm gonna make you look so good. We step out to do the first improv scene. She's in the audience with her friend. We step out.
Kendall Landriff
No, no, no.
Jordan Myrick
I say something. And our tune immediately goes, no, that's not what that is.
Angela Giritana
That's.
Jordan Myrick
I was like, are you kidding me? We do the whole show. He makes me look so bad.
Angela Giritana
He goes, no, there's poop on your face.
Jordan Myrick
Literally. Literally.
Angela Giritana
You smell like.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. The whole time, he was just like, no, you're crazy. Then we get off stage. He's like, I'm so sorry. I panicked.
Angela Giritana
And did the opposite.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Angela Giritana
I feel like our team would be a great wing person.
Jordan Myrick
No, not on stage.
Kendall Landriff
You were doing a very specific type of. He was doing a very specific type of wingman.
Angela Giritana
A performative one is hard, but I.
Jordan Myrick
Don'T think anyone were friends with. Is that good at wingmanning for the most part.
Kendall Landriff
I don't know.
Jordan Myrick
I guess other than Angela.
Angela Giritana
Patrick's a good one. Patrick McDonald.
Jordan Myrick
Oh, I could see that, because he.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, he. I've had him as a wingman or just, like, at a party where I had a crush on somebody and he was there and then would disappear and then was there again. I feel like you just have to be able to, like, be fluid. You have to come in and out.
Kendall Landriff
What type of person do you have a crush on? Because then I'm like, maybe you need someone who's really, like, dominant so they can come up to you and be.
Angela Giritana
Like, guys, talk about happy wife, happy life. I haven't had a crush in 10 years.
Kendall Landriff
Is that true?
Angela Giritana
I don't get that. I have such issues with them. I don't know what happened. I blinked my eyes because then, like, in high school, I would have a crush on literally anyone I walked by.
Jordan Myrick
Absolutely.
Angela Giritana
I don't know what happened.
Jordan Myrick
I feel like recently you told me you had a whisper of an interest. Yeah.
Angela Giritana
And I went immediately. Exactly. But that's what I'm saying is that reminded that, like, that like, whiff of a crush made me go, oh, my God, there's no milk at the party. And I was like, oh, my God. I don't know why. It might just be like how like hard it is to live in our country and everything's bleak to me.
Kendall Landriff
And I'm like, ought to be able to. You gotta compartmentalize.
Angela Giritana
It also might be maybe I hit my la cap and I've been in here for too long. And I had to go to a party the other day and I had to sign an NDA and I was like, I gotta get out of here. This is ridiculous.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Everyone sucks. I haven't met anybody that makes me laugh. I have to go home.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
You're also maybe. Do you feel like you're around a lot of, like, industry people? Because I think sometimes I'm like that when you. Sometimes I'll meet like a normal person and I'm like, not a nor. You know what I mean? Like, they're like, I'm a doctor. And I'm like, well, that's cool. And then it feels like more mysterious versus, I think, like influencers and comedians and actors. No judgment, because I am that. But it feels like you know everything about them already.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
After two seconds to where you're just like, it's. There's no way to have a crush on you because I see you for who you are.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. It feels like they're either very industry or if they are a doctor or something, they're like Santa Monica.
Jordan Myrick
Or like they still like have a tick tock presence.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Despite being a doctor.
Angela Giritana
And they're also just like a different part of this city. And then it's like, I actually feel like we're like, it's a study abroad thing and I don't have. We have nothing in common. Well, you know what I think is hard?
Kendall Landriff
It. Sometimes I feel like people will be like, this is what healthy love looks like. It'd be crazy to fall in love with someone after two weeks. That's not healthy. Whatever. But sometimes I do think falling in love takes a little bit of delusion where it's kind of like if you're that healthy and you're that, like, well, I don't really need anyone. And, like, of course I'm not in love with them, or I haven't pictured our wedding together. Cause I just met them, and I'm going at a really normal pace. I'm like. I think it's sometimes almost like, I don't know, within us genetically to be, like, obsessed with someone and be like, I just pictured our whole life together, even though I hardly know anything about them. Because otherwise you would just, like, never. I don't know. When I was younger, I was so good at that quote, unquote.
Angela Giritana
And we all are, because delusion's, like, easy when you're, like, a teen and you have all those hormones. And I think that's such a good point, because I also feel that way about just, like, jobs in this industry. I was like, well, okay. Well, that's awesome. I'm so glad you sold that movie. I hope I see it.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Well, I mean, not being like, oh, you suck, but just being like, this industry, everything sucks.
Jordan Myrick
Everything's big. It reminds me of child actors. And when people are like, like, child. This child actor is so good. And I'm like, yeah, well, they're a child. They're just a raw nerve of emotion. Right? Like, your whole life, all you're taught is to, like, get your emotions in check and, like, whatever. And then when you go to acting school, they're like, forget all of that. You have to, like, find your emotions again. Yeah, but I'm like a child. It's like, it's easy for them to cry. It's easy for them to feel totally joy. They haven't been beaten down by the world.
Angela Giritana
They could feel everything on an instant. Yes, that's Kate. Honestly, there's an arc for you. My wing womaning to my friends is sometimes. I'm always like. I think they're, like, putting down. They're always looking at the, like, negative side of someone they're into or something. And I'm always like, it's never gonna work out if you do that right now. Just. Let's. Let's ignore the fact that he has five roommates. Let's just. Let's just. Here we go. Let's. Let's try this. And maybe I have to do that to myself.
Jordan Myrick
Well, I've heard people talk about, like, pick three to five things that are actual deal breakers to you.
Kendall Landriff
I said that.
Jordan Myrick
That are actually important. I've heard Kendall say that. I've heard some other people say that.
Kendall Landriff
And I heard it somewhere else.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah, we didn't coin that. So I don't pick three to five actual ones that really matter to you and then lose the rest.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Because people are so quick to be like, I have this list of 20 things or not even have a list, and then just meet people, and they'll be like, well, but she was, like, taller than I thought. And then also, she. I, Like, I thought she lived in a house, but she lives in an apartment.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, those.
Jordan Myrick
And all these things are building up where you're just like, this doesn't matter. Versus have three to five that, like, really matter. And then with the other ones, like, be open.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, they're stuff. And also, I tell my friends that all the time. And if anything, for me, I want to be specific. I'm not picky like that.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
I think I just, like, I'm a little. Like, I don't have that healthy delusion to be like, I can fall in love.
Kendall Landriff
You might just need more. Do you feel like if you were with someone for, like, a year, then you could be like, oh, now I can fall in love? Like, you People don't give you time.
Angela Giritana
I think I just, like, like, blinked my eye, and all of a sudden I was in my 30s, and everything felt hard.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
Versus, like, falling in love and, like, earlier felt just so easy, and. But you're so right about those things, because so many of my friends will get the ick of, like.
Jordan Myrick
Like.
Angela Giritana
Like, my friend was dating this girl, and she didn't like her apartment because it was just, like, she had, like, some, like, comic books hung up, and my friend doesn't like comic books. And I was like, well, it's gonna.
Jordan Myrick
It.
Angela Giritana
I hate to break it to you, but if that's gonna give you the ick and then that's gonna find its way from an ick to become a deal breaker, then good luck.
Jordan Myrick
Literally, babe. Right. Yeah. Because what are you gonna do? Find someone who's a carbon copy of yourself.
Angela Giritana
Yep.
Jordan Myrick
And some.
Angela Giritana
That's a red flag.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. And some people do find that, and that's great. I will say it's so hard because Kendall's never giving me the ick, which I've said before. Kendall's never given. That being said. Well, you've never given me the ick, but I do think there were, like, one or two things that g. Pause when we first started dating.
Angela Giritana
Oh, pause versus ick. Very different.
Jordan Myrick
Yes. Yes.
Kendall Landriff
Because it was still super sexy.
Jordan Myrick
Yes. I remember when we first beginning, you told a couple People that we had been seeing each other, but they were people that I had kind of told you, like, I didn't really like or respect them.
Kendall Landriff
And, well, I thought it wouldn't matter. I said, yeah, great.
Jordan Myrick
You'll never hear on them. And you, like, mentioned it, and I was like, I don't want you talking about me to, like, those.
Angela Giritana
Those types of people.
Jordan Myrick
They're, like, not your. They weren't your friends. You just, like, ran into them at a party. And it, like, I've had that problem.
Angela Giritana
With a relationship where privacy is it, like. Well, not like, actual problem, but, like, being like, oh, you give information out about us quickly. More quickly than I do.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Kendall Landriff
And you have to like.
Jordan Myrick
And so I think we first. I think you did literally nothing wrong. I think you were just being like, it's not a big deal. Yeah. And I was being like, I don't like those people.
Angela Giritana
I don't want them to know my business.
Jordan Myrick
I don't want them to know my business. I don't want, like, you fraternizing with them.
Angela Giritana
Yeah, sure.
Jordan Myrick
I don't know. They're, like, rude and not nice. And you had already vocalized that you didn't really like them either, so I was like, oh, yeah. I don't want you talking about me to them. That, like, feels weird. Cause we had been on, like, three zoom dates. It was, like, not. We were not, like, officially dating or anything, but I liked you a lot. And then I remember being like, I hate that. And then you called me, and then I answered the phone, and I was like, I really like her. Because this thing that I'm annoyed about doesn't even really matter.
Angela Giritana
Please don't put my camera. My face on camera when I made that noise.
Jordan Myrick
No, put it on. We're gonna cut it.
Angela Giritana
That was crazy.
Jordan Myrick
But I genuinely made that noise out of, like, being a nice. Well, I think that's something, though, that can, like, kind of give you some clarity in that. Like, something that kind of frustrated me, and I felt like was a boundary cross with someone else. I might have been more. But I was like, oh, I like her so much, and she has all the core things that I want. This one dumb instance, like, doesn't really.
Angela Giritana
Matter, but I think the speed at which you approached that is the key. Right. Like, there's something that gives you pause that is. Yeah. Like, literally done.
Jordan Myrick
You got to attack it versus.
Angela Giritana
Or just being like, I'm seeing myself not, like, that behavior, but I'm analyzing it. I'm in the driver's seat to make sure I'm not, like, letting it go and just, like, pushing it and being like, I'm obsessed with this person. But I am, like, still here, right?
Jordan Myrick
Yes, but we talked it out.
Kendall Landriff
Right. But also, people are so nitpicky. I hear, like, so many people where they are. They get so freaked about things where sometimes I have to be like, are you even actually freaked about this, or are you just identifying this as the thing, your future? Like, I felt like we were very different. Like, we were very different. Like, when we started dating, there were things like, I don't know if I should share this, but, like, I. It's just only embarrassing to me. But I said. I said, so many nudes when we started dating.
Angela Giritana
Hell, yeah.
Kendall Landriff
Like, I was like, every hour on the hour. Videos, pictures, boomerangs. Oh, my God.
Angela Giritana
Boomerang news.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
I mean, everything that's a vintage news.
Kendall Landriff
Never received one in return. Didn't care.
Jordan Myrick
I said, it's fine.
Kendall Landriff
Please, if you're not comfortable, don't send it back.
Angela Giritana
You have to go into Instagram. Save it as a boomerang anyway.
Kendall Landriff
Keep going. Exactly.
Jordan Myrick
Exactly.
Kendall Landriff
Right. Exactly. I was doing it all. And I. And I never. I was never like, please. You know, it didn't make me. Didn't deter me that you didn't respond, which. Well, you respond.
Angela Giritana
I did not respond.
Kendall Landriff
No, you'd respond.
Jordan Myrick
I had just told Kendall I have never sent a nude in all my life. To my recollection, if you have a nude of me, just keep it to yourself. But to my recollection, I have never sent a nude. It's. I have such crippling medical anxiety. I just can't. I just can't have that out there. And as we had just started dating, I don't think I've met yet, but Kendall was like, can I send you nudes? Because I like doing it. And I was like, sure. Like, I. They make me nervous, so I do not want to send them, if that's okay.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
And Kendall was like, yeah.
Kendall Landriff
I said, honey, you can give me a fake number. I just need a number to send it to.
Angela Giritana
Just give me a Dropbox, and I'll drop it in there.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
And. But we. I don't even really know. How did that really turn? We're talking about. Oh, I was just saying that, like, we were very different in that way. We're bringing kind of different energies in that way.
Angela Giritana
And you weren't like, we're not calibrated perfectly.
Kendall Landriff
And that wasn't, like, bad, and I wasn't. And you weren't like, oh, Because I think if it actually upset you or made you like, this is. Then that would have been a different thing. But you were like, yeah, it's different for me, but I also don't really care. So I guess you can just, like, keep doing that.
Angela Giritana
Hell, yeah.
Kendall Landriff
Why are so many people kind of being like, well, what about this and what about this? And it's just random stuff that you're. Or how do I. Or I'll hear a lot from people. Like, well, I'm worried they're like, in their own mind. Like, what if I'm only dating this person because of this? I hear that, like, a lot in the industry. Like, I don't argue well. And even if I remember telling a friend, they're like, well, this guy's on the show, what if I'm like, I don't think I might really like him, but what if, like, somewhere deep down, I'm, like, only really dating him because of xyz? And I'm like, but that won't sustain time, so you'll find that out eventually. But, like, stop freaking out. Totally calm down and date the person.
Angela Giritana
Oh, I have a friend that. That told me. She was like, oh, my God. If he or she or whatever is on the app and they have a mic in their hand in their pro dating profile, like, any type of stage picture, you can't. And I was like, if that was a deal breaker for me, I. That's everyone on the apps right now. Everybody's got like a here's me clowning or here's me with a mic. Like, I was like, it would just cut off. So. And that's just. Sure. I do find it a little icky, but I'm not. But I can't. I can't actually make that a roadblock.
Kendall Landriff
No. No.
Jordan Myrick
All right. Fans wrote in questions about being a wing woman, and then also for a wing woman, they're looking for some advice from you.
Kendall Landriff
And if you're like, why didn't I get to ask a question? It's because you're not following us on Instagram or you're not a member of our Patreon. So if you want to head on over to our Instagram, we always are posing the questions there. Or you can email us@hwhlpodquestionsmail.com that was awesome.
Jordan Myrick
Thanks. Thank you. All right, our first question is. Is what's a major wing woman sin that one should never commit? We know the obvious. Don't fall in love with the target. We know the obvious. Is there something maybe less expected that you think would be really helpful to know as a wing woman?
Angela Giritana
Ooh, I think. Oh, let me think of a good one. Because, I mean, there's so many. Like, don't be. You could just be a bad time.
Kendall Landriff
Well, that's what I. I'm sorry. That's what I was gonna say is, like, I've had before where, like. Like, my friend's not bringing the energy, like, to me. If I'm a wing woman, I'm like, I'm here to help you, and it's more fun if we're both being insane.
Jordan Myrick
You can only work what you're given.
Kendall Landriff
Exactly. Seeing, like, if you're coming up to.
Jordan Myrick
Me like, oh, my God, is he looking?
Kendall Landriff
Is he looking? And I'm like, dude, calm down. Like, it's not that big of a deal. That's not the energy.
Angela Giritana
Yes.
Kendall Landriff
Like, you want to be like, yeah, he's looking. And get. Or he's not. And we're going to make sure. Because I've had some times where I'm super excited. And then the wing. The wing woman quote, unquote, if you could even call it that, is really. Is making me feel almost embarrassed for my excitement of the night.
Angela Giritana
Yes. I'd say, like, a rule of thumb is that the wing person has to go off of who they're winging. Right. Like, if they want harsh advice, then you're giving that. But all that unwarranted being like, you need to do this. No, you need to wear this. No, you need to go over there. No, you need to go talk to him right now. Any of that stuff I think is hard because. But also, I don't know. I like. I like someone that needs to, like, I'm not really good at, like, posting cute pictures of myself, and my best friend is so good at being like, post that right now. And then I post it, I'm like, oh, my God, I feel like Carrie Bradshaw. Thanks for making me post that.
Jordan Myrick
That. Yes.
Angela Giritana
So I. You need a healthy pressure. Like, pressure makes diamonds. But it's like. But too much is too much. Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. That's such a good tip of. Really pay attention to who you're wing womaning for. It's not one size fits all. Yes, this person is new to lesbian dating, but all of their wing women are straight girls who dress cool and look like lesbians. God, how do we go out? And how do they have them? Wing woman. Without finding themselves in a situation where the straight woman is being hit on at the end this is.
Angela Giritana
Happened to me. Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Okay. You're the perfect person to answer it then.
Angela Giritana
Oh, my God. But I don't know. I literally don't know what happened.
Jordan Myrick
What happened to you?
Angela Giritana
My friend's just gorgeous and very straight and was out with me in a. A fun lesbian space, and she just kept getting hit on. And I wasn't. And I was like, damn it, this is my story for that.
Jordan Myrick
But, like, this is what I'll say. Don't have too much fun. I think if you're a straight. A hot straight woman trying to wing woman, your friend who's a lesbian, don't look too cute. Don't have too much fun.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Really take a backseat and make it clear that you're taking a backseat.
Kendall Landriff
And I think in a lesbian space, you could actually go up to someone and be like, hey, I'm straight. My friend's gay. Just letting you know she's over there and she's got like. I think you can be that.
Angela Giritana
Oh, no, guys. Because do you feel like it's toxic when people are like, you can't look prettier than the bride at the wedding?
Kendall Landriff
Well, there's. You can't help genetics. So if the bride's not attractive, but.
Angela Giritana
Like, the way someone's dressing, like, I.
Jordan Myrick
Think you should be different.
Kendall Landriff
Tasteful.
Jordan Myrick
I think you should be tasteful. I think you shouldn't wear white to a wedding if the bride's wearing white.
Angela Giritana
Yes.
Kendall Landriff
Okay, so I like wearing, like, gown. I think it's with exactly a train on it that you have to walk in with. That's too much.
Angela Giritana
Because when this happened to me, it wasn't this exact scenario, but it just did happen to me where I was like, wow, like, the person who we're here for is not the Getting the focus. Right. And I would be like, I walked away that night being like. I would never want my friend to feel. To, like, not dress her prettiest or her hottest. That she felt like just because I wasn't getting attention.
Jordan Myrick
But this is what I'll say. I'm not saying don't dress your prettiest. Dress your eyes. I'm not saying dull yourself down.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But I think sometimes straight people in queer spaces are like, oh, I want to align with the culture so they might try to, quote, unquote, dress gayer. I'm like, you don't need to do a performance if you're going to this solely for the purpose of wing womaning. Right. Like the. That's the specific scenario we're talking about. If you're wing womaning your friend. I would say, like, don't try to fit in, quote unquote, with the gay crowd, because you're not there to make friends if you're there to wing woman.
Kendall Landriff
Because also, let's go back to that story of you at the concert.
Jordan Myrick
You were dulling yourself down.
Kendall Landriff
You're not dulling yourself down, but you were go. You were living that night for being a wing woman.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
So you weren't living your best life that night. It's not like that was, like, your.
Jordan Myrick
Ideal night, but it also wasn't a punishment for you.
Angela Giritana
No, exactly.
Jordan Myrick
You were there for a purpose.
Angela Giritana
And that's where I think, like, this conversation gets into the specifics of, like, when someone is deemed the wing woman, where it's like, that night, no matter what, I was gonna go to that concert. Right. But I was asked to do that versus, like, I've been having more than this problem. I have an issue where, like, I, like, blinked my eyes and, like, all of my best friends are married, and I don't have a lot of friends to, like, go out with that aren't gonna, like, go, like. And it's.
Jordan Myrick
That's.
Angela Giritana
I. I don't want to be like, I'm not hanging out with my friend because she's married, and I want to hang out with single people. But I was like, oh, I should be hanging out with, like, people that I go out with that I like that I can just do stuff like that with. But it's hard because, like, you love your friends and friends and good friends are hard to come by, and it sucks. Like, this person, I feel for them because you have your best friends and you want to go out with them. Right. But, like, they don't. They're not in the same spot as you right now. Like, this person isn't in. It's really hard to, like. Like, I don't know. What do you guys think? Because it's. It's hard. Like, I'm not gonna bring my friends to this because she's not gay. And I. I don't know.
Kendall Landriff
But I think that is. I think it just depends the night. Because it's like, if you're going to a gay bar, I think there are friends. Not that I'd be like, if they were like, can I come? I'd be like, no, I don't want you to be there. But I think I would be like, who are the friends I'd want with me at a gay bar? And then I think you can even with the married couple thing just per se. If it was Jordan and I that might even be having a married gay person there could be ideal. Because now that's what I was gonna say.
Jordan Myrick
I think it has to be a married gay person. I think a married person as your wing person is ideal because it is fun for them. It's as close to dating as they will get. Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
They need.
Angela Giritana
See, but here's my thing. If they are deemed wing person.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Angela Giritana
Because what I'm realizing is I'll just go out with friends. Right. Because I think, like, when. Like, when I was younger, it just felt like we were all each other's wing person.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
Because we were all.
Jordan Myrick
There has to be a plan going into it now.
Angela Giritana
And I want to be clear. What I just brought up before was not struggling because my married friends can't wing person me. It's that going out with them looks different because everyone is going home to watch an episode of something with their partner versus I'm like, let's get another round, girls. Let's go over there. And we all just actually want to go home. And that's the difference that I'm talking about, I think, like, being specific and asking your friend, like, will you kind of come with me to this event and make me feel like I'm the prettiest person in the room so I can put myself out there? It's not a bad ask for a bestie.
Jordan Myrick
No, no, not at all. It should be a fun ask.
Kendall Landriff
Fun ask, exactly. I think it's just like, in general, in all of this, just being more like, this is what I want from you, because I feel like you would do so much for all of these people, but then accepting in return, you're kind of like, oh, but that's a lot. That's a huge ask. Like, having your friend, like, not beat to the gods to go to a lesbian bar is, like, not that crazy of an ass.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
I mean, yes, 100%. This person wants to know, what is the best way to let your friend know if you think the person they're talking to is actually a bad idea?
Angela Giritana
Oh, my God. Okay.
Jordan Myrick
If you got to abort mission.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Oof, oof, oof.
Angela Giritana
I don't know, guys. This is depending on so many different things.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
This is like. But then I think that will. Here's what I'll say. Say if we're talking specifically on the subject of wing personing, I would adjust my wing woman. If I wasn't really obsessed with this person. I'm just not going to put my whole bussy into wing woman.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah. Well, let's take off the table. It's not that the person is like. Cuz I. Yes. There's a world where we're like, this man is unsafe.
Jordan Myrick
They're not a villain.
Kendall Landriff
It's not like that. It's just like.
Jordan Myrick
You're just like, no, but you're just.
Angela Giritana
Kind of like, g. Yeah.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Angela Giritana
You're just going to fight a little less hard than you normally would in the field.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah. Which for you is still pretty high.
Angela Giritana
But no, if they're kind of shitty or they're just like, not really that great, I'm gonna be like, yeah, Yeah. I think I had a friend the other day. It was like in a mutual space, and then that one friend left and the other friend went, what are we gonna do? When are we gonna tell her that she shouldn't date him? And I was like, yeah, well, now that we've. Now that we're talking about it, we have to.
Kendall Landriff
We have to talk about it.
Angela Giritana
So it's. I mean, no matter what, when your friend is dating somebody you don't really like, that's just always rough. Are you guys good at. I feel like you're good at call.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Well, this is.
Kendall Landriff
Did you mind your business?
Jordan Myrick
I really believe in minding your business. I think it, you know, unless someone is actively bad. Actively detrimental.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Abusive. Causing harm to this person's life. I think you just kind of have to mind your own business.
Angela Giritana
I know. And it's almost easier when they're awful.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Because then you can just think they're awful. Stop talking to them.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But we have plenty of friends that are dating people that I don't love, and I'm just like, well, I'm not dating them.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Because I think. Think as relationship experts as Kendall and I are.
Angela Giritana
Yes.
Jordan Myrick
A lot of people writing in, we see a lot of stuff where people really let their friends and their family dictate what their relationship should look like. And they'll never be happy. And your friends and your family will know you to a certain extent.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But they can never know you truly. And they can never know your relationship inside and out. And I think sometimes people forget this is a huge thing. Your friends and family love and want the best for you. You might not want or deserve the best.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Do you know what I mean? I think you're going to date someone typically who is suited for you.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
And I think, like, when you see someone who is kind of boring, let's say no shame. But they're just kind of boring.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
There may be a home body. They don't like to do that much. They're not very social. They kind of. You know what I mean? Like, that's totally fine.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
But I think sometimes those people's friends and family can be like, you need to meet someone magical. You need to meet, you know, whatever. And it's like, that person doesn't want to date.
Kendall Landriff
Right.
Jordan Myrick
Your friend or family member, and they shouldn't. Like, your family member should date someone who's also a homebody. If your friend is, like, not. And your friends and family will not know whether or not you're a good partner for the most part. If you are not a good partner, if you're a liar or a cheater or you don't have time in your schedule or whatever it is, like, those are the kind of people you're going to sync up with. And then your friends and family are going to be like, well, they're bad. They're bad, they're bad. And I'm like, I hate to break it to you. The person you love is also kind of bad.
Angela Giritana
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
Whoa.
Kendall Landriff
So that's what I think.
Jordan Myrick
I'm like, you have to temper your expectations for, like, certain people are going to date certain kind of people and are going to work with certain type people that might not be what you want. That's fine. I don't want to date anyone other than Kendall. So my piece of advice for everyone would be be to date Kendall. If I was going just based off of what I think is good. You know what I mean?
Angela Giritana
If every episode of this podcast, you're just like, I don't know, listener, I think you should just date my wife.
Jordan Myrick
And good luck.
Angela Giritana
And good luck.
Jordan Myrick
Yeah. But. So that's what I think. That's what I'll say.
Kendall Landriff
That's tough, though. It's tough.
Jordan Myrick
And it's.
Kendall Landriff
It's hard because you. Then I think it's easier in adult relationships because you're not seeing. You know, it's not like when you're in college and you're like, great, now I have to see this person every single day because they're dating my best friend. And we live together. We do every single thing together. But I do think sometimes you just also go into it with, like, I don't know. This sounds so cheesy, but it's like, this is also someone's loved one. I think it's so easy to, like, villainize someone that you love's partner. And it's like, they're just also dating a person and trying their best. And I know. I appreciate, like, I hate when people. And because we're on the Internet, we get a lot of little comments on our relationship, and I'm kind of like, I don't want. Also, I don't want that, especially from people in my life. I would appreciate, like, understanding that you're not dating either one of us. So, like, the way we've deemed what feels good to us is going to be different than what feels good to you.
Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Kendall Landriff
Or, like, maybe you wouldn't want to date someone like me because it would irritate you, but it doesn't irritate Jordan. Well, actually, it does irritate Jordan. They get over it. So I think just, like, giving people grace, too, because also, it's like a long. A relationship's a long time.
Angela Giritana
And just like, I remember when I was little, I used to have these, like, insanely massive salami sandwiches at lunch. These kids would make fun of me and say, that looks disgusting because they didn't know what good salami looked like.
Kendall Landriff
Yeah.
Jordan Myrick
And I guarantee you now they're all adults eating charcuterie boards.
Kendall Landriff
100 or freaking diet.
Angela Giritana
Yeah. But I just remember being, like, just seeing someone like yucky rum at an early age. Like, this is supposed to fulfill me. And I really love this salami. You're not eating their sandwich.
Kendall Landriff
No, you're not.
Angela Giritana
You can comment if you have a beast.
Kendall Landriff
Don't talk about my salami.
Jordan Myrick
Exactly. Yes. And on that note, we would want to say, Angela, thank you so much for joining us today.
Kendall Landriff
I love you guys.
Jordan Myrick
We love you. Can you tell the people, if they don't already know where to find you? I'm sure they do, but if they don't, where can they find you?
Angela Giritana
They can find me in Italy with Jordan and Kevin.
Jordan Myrick
Perfect.
Angela Giritana
At Angela Giovan Giordano is my Instagram handle.
Kendall Landriff
Remember when we asked you to be in a relationship with us and you said we could be your parents? I'm actually gonna be thinking about that for a very long time.
Jordan Myrick
That out after the episode, we're not.
Kendall Landriff
Gonna be thinking about that for a while.
Angela Giritana
And that's probably like, a little peek behind the curtain at what's going on with me.
Jordan Myrick

Podcast Summary: Happy Wife Happy Life – Episode 76: How to be a Proper Wingman w/ Angela Giarratana
Hosts: Kendahl Landreth & Jordan Myrick
Guest: Angela Giarratana
Release Date: August 11, 2025
In Episode 76 of Happy Wife Happy Life, hosts Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick delve into the art of being a proper wingwoman with their special guest, Angela Giarratana. Angela, a seasoned wingwoman, shares her valuable insights, personal anecdotes, and practical tips to help listeners navigate the often tricky terrain of supporting friends in their romantic endeavors.
Angela opens the conversation by highlighting the essential qualities of a successful wingwoman. She emphasizes the importance of being supportive without overshadowing the primary goal—helping a friend connect with someone they're interested in.
Angela Giarratana [03:29]: "I think 90% of my wing womaning has landed with someone getting what they wanted."
She discusses the balance between being present and giving the friend space to interact, ensuring she doesn't become "dead weight" but remains readily available if needed.
Angela Giarratana [04:19]: "If she wants to enjoy the ride alone, I am not with you, but I am still there. Just in case you need something."
Angela shares one of her most successful wingwoman stories involving her best friend attending a band's concert. Despite the challenges posed by a disinterested suitor, Angela's strategic maneuvering led to her friend and the crush sharing a memorable moment.
Angela Giarratana [07:07]: "She was like, 'Let me see the back of this blouse.' And somehow, I got her to move over so my friend could take the seat."
Another notable success involves Angela facilitating the relationship between Connor McCabe and Amanda Tarver, whom the hosts publicly adore.
Angela Giarratana [08:38]: "I was grieving at a bar after a show... I remember telling them they should hang out, and they've been together ever since."
Angela reflects on how her wingwomaning abilities extend beyond just helping friends find dates. She points out that these skills make her an excellent plus-one at various events, where she can navigate social settings smoothly without being intrusive.
Angela Giarratana [11:05]: "I'd say it does transfer over, especially, like, those awful, like, brand parties."
The hosts commend Angela's ability to adapt her wingwoman skills to different social scenarios, enhancing her overall social prowess.
The discussion shifts to how Kendahl and Jordan apply wingwomaning techniques in their own lives. Kendahl describes her proactive approach in gathering information and seeking out connections, while Angela shares her struggles with reciprocating support due to being in a phase where she's more of "the other people in the room."
Kendahl Landrett [28:22]: "I'm very quick to find who they're friends with and get the intel."
Angela admits that while she's adept at helping others, she finds it challenging to receive the same level of support, impacting her own dating experiences.
Listeners' questions steer the conversation towards common mistakes and lesser-known "sins" of being a wingwoman. Angela advises against overstepping boundaries and stresses the importance of tailoring support to the friend's personality and needs.
Angela Giarratana [43:38]: "The wing person has to go off of who they're winging. If they want harsh advice, then you're giving that."
Kendahl adds that mismatched energy levels between friends can hinder the wingwomaning process, advocating for mutual enthusiasm and understanding.
The hosts and Angela outline several best practices for being an effective wingwoman:
Jordan Myrick [27:41]: "Really pay attention to who you're wing womaning for. It's not one size fits all."
As the episode wraps up, the hosts express their gratitude to Angela for her invaluable contributions. They reiterate the importance of being a supportive and understanding wingwoman, drawing inspiration from Angela's experiences.
Angela Giarratana [55:15]: "If you have a friend that wants you to be their wing woman, you really take it home and be really brave and do a really good job. Do what Angela would do."
By the end of the episode, listeners are equipped with practical advice and inspired by Angela's dedication to helping her friends find love, embodying the true spirit of a proper wingwoman.
