I like that Daniel is able to call out the toxicity of Dana's relationship without also trying to control how she moves forward with it. I think that can be a hard line to draw when you love someone a lot and you don't want to see them in a bad situation. It shows how much he trusts her to take care of herself.
Yesss
Very well spotted! I agree it's important.
He's also not putting any judgements or shame on her for being in the relationship, he's able to just point out what he observes and feels.
Yes, but eventually she is going to break up with him...we need time to end a toxic relationship, other way there is a chance to get back and she sees the toxicity too
Yeah it really is hard. Gotta do a bit on introspection to make sure there isn't an ulterior motive
"He doesn't know things yet like women and men are equal" made me cackle out loud.
It's funny. But The annoying thing is a man is portrayed as part of the patriarchy and their maleness is the problem when generally guys like this are actually covert narcissist or overt narcissishts. And there's women that are narcissist too. It has nothing to do with the patriarchy.
This comment serves as my Like so I don’t mess up the number 666.
Google the meaning of equal. It does not mean “same”
She basically said "I can change him"
She said "WE can change him" even worse lmao 😭
she said "I can fix him (no really I can)
Nah she said you can fix him😅
This is the best thread ever!
"my boyfriend can change him"
“And needs to be saved” dANIEL IS NOT JESUS DANA 😭😭🤣
"what about all the red flags?" that says it all.
I absolutely appreciate that Daniel completely sidestepped *his* question and got him to answer Daniel's own in more detail.
That was a hell of a way to show that toxic relationship and how not only the person in can be blinded by it. But also show that the victim is never to blame and that people who are toxic are good at it on more levels other than romantic. Love y'all!
This was awkward as hell 🤣 I wait every week for a new episode! Been watching for so long from TikTok and glad I started following here.
I'm into the show too but I hope it doesn't get too political and too much about men in their problems. I mean there are people that are narcissistic that are men and women. Has nothing to do with the patriarchy.
Seriously, comparing them to Joe Rogan was hilarious, and then being condescending with Daniel. Dana, wake up, some people aren’t worthy of the effort xD
To me though that kind of makes the show a little too political because we don't know if Joe Rogan has a bad relationship. He's just a strong alpha male. There's nothing wrong with that..women are actually attracted to men being masculine. Also Joe rogan's liberal in a lot of ways. He just interviews everybody. That's called good journalism.
@@MentalDeviant as a woman, women don’t universally like anything because we’re not like a hive mind lol. i hate “”””alpha males”””” because they simultaneously reek of insecurity and superiority somehow. anyways i just wanted to broaden your perspective, no disrespect to you! have a good one
Of course it's politiical. Their lifestyle is completely alien to your typical conversative, the fact that they are openly discussing it is inherently political, because it's not universally agreed that polyamory is a normal thing to do.
the way i clicked so fast as soon as i saw the title 😳
Same!!! Been waitin, I just hadn't realized it had been with baited breath.
And DIRECTLY to the comments
Me tooooo!!!!!
THE WAY I GASPED AT THAT QUESTION. THE SNEAKY DEVALUATION
RIGHTTTT!? Like he wanted Daniel to say something that would make Dana feel bad! Yikesssssss
didn’t even have to play mario party
That will be the final straw that leads to a breakup (it is known)
I'm so happy Daniel finally met him and knows his game
Did they really show him do something wrong in this episode.. did I miss something... He asked him a tough question. He gave him advice on his podcast... The only thing I could see that was negative is he's a know-it-all. Which could be a sign of narcissism. And when the guy said like Joe Rogan he meant popular like Joe Rogan.
@@MentalDeviant I think mostly they showed he's quite contrarian and good at being convincing, potentially manipulative.
@MentalDeviant from our perspective, it doesn't matter if he "did anything bad" this ep because we see how toxic the guy is when Dana is alone with him that him composing himself well in front of other people is more of a red flag.
However, he spent so long talking about himself, gave backhanded compliments about what Daniel does, and tried to mansplain a field he isn't even in. To another man. It may feel fine in the moment, even passable, but surrounded by that exterior will drain you over time, and that's without the weird/abusive shit Dana endures.
He's just a character he's just a character he's just a character
I too love how good all the other actors are, it’s really what helps push this series into the green for me, but he’s definitely a stand out, makes what could be really schlocky or corny moments very realistic and believable.
omg i had a friend with a boyfriend just like this - i hated him when he was out of sight, but sitting at a table with him it was completely fine and i enjoyed his company how do these people do this!?!?!?
They are charming. It's easier to manipulate someone right in front of you than when they are at a distance where they get other people's opinions and space to reflect. Especially if they are also handsome
Just because you don't like somebody doesn't make them a bad person but the person could be a covert narcissist. Covert narcissist will say something like other people don't like you. So it's kind of hard to be mad at them because they don't insult you directly.
It’s called manipulation, this character masters it
My dad's gf was like this when I was 15. When I was around her, it felt good and even exciting. When she was gone, I was able to remember the whole picture of the time spent with her. I had time to get out of that excitement and realize she actually did alot of toxic things. I felt like I could breathe when I got home. But when I was around her, I'd get caught up in her charm and the fun day trips we always went on. She'd seem cool and she'd buy me stuff to win me over... But also say snide, snarky things here and there and unexpectedly tantrum (slamming doors, storming away, ect)... I think it makes it worse when you're the type trying to get approval from someone for some reason too, so their attention feels like a positive when you're in it. Then when you step away you realize you felt bad underneath it all and realize what they were actually doing.
I find it hilarious that they're giving the audience the exact opposite of what they were asking for. Makes it more realistic. Also, Dana's little dance in celebration of her donuts was adorable. You guys are the best!
Finally! Can’t wait to hear what Daniel has to say
Can we pleaseeee see Dana take this guy down. Its making me sad what a strong character she is when she lets herself get walked over by this man constantly.🤦
Lol at him whispering "Do you wanna come?" And Dana being like, "No."
I missed this - thanks! Kit is already starting the "yeah but who's your number one?" game.
I feel like I've been waiting for this moment for so long and it did not disappoint. You guys are incredible. It's crazy how quickly 7 and a half minutes goes by.
..100%…these clips r so well done…
Brilliantly done once again .. now I'm second guessing myself as to how much Kit is aware exactly what he's doing or not. Prior to this episode I would have thought he was just a bit clueless, but now I think he's playing Dana (and now Daniel) like a fiddle.
How so?
@@sw-ns1yi Mainly just the way he interacted with Daniel .. it felt similar to the way he interacted with Dana in some ways, and it just put his Dana interactions in a new light for me
Now we need Esther to meet Kit and tell Dana how garbage Kit is
Or Jack
Needs to be Esther
the tension makes me want to die 💀💀💀💀
Being Poly and navigating through the relationships is so hard. This is and the Ester storyline are perfect examples of how we fall for the wrong people and how we rely on our primaries to ground us.
I have been watching since the 1st episode and I still can't get enough!!!
I felt so tense. He complimenting Dana’s social skills after last episode made me wanna give him a big punch in the face. And I’m glad Daniel got to meet him and know exactly how the manipulation works. This is so realistic, we’ve all had that friend in this situation or have been there ourselves. I absolutely love this show, pls keep doing this 🙏🏽 and I hope Dana breaks this up before it gets to a lower point, but feel like she won’t 💀
That 1st time hanging out with the other boyfriend tension was on point. That waiting for the other shoe to drop feeling.
I literally pulled to the side of the road to watch this when it popped up. Not exactly how I thought the ep would go. I was expecting more questions about how the poly aspect was going to be. I'm still not a fan of him. Lol
This felt like a crossover episode even though it wasn't.
“My voice isn’t even all that high “ 🤣🤣 great line!
OMG!!! Okay, me finally finding out that Kit’s a dang agent actually helps me understand him tremendously! My bff’s hubby is a big wig at UTA and you just made so many things (the Tesla, the outward confidence, the blatant manipulation) just instantly click for me!!!
Also, why am I always so wrong about this show because I was so sure Kit was about to be asked to be their second podcast guest, but nope! However, that also means I can still have my fingies crossed for the land lady! 😩
lol put us in touch with him
i'd love for the show to cover a healthy second relationship for either of them, too. the new relationship energy, the positive aspects of being in multiple healthy relationships, everything... would be nice. plotwise time management or questions on whom to nest with can be tension enough ^^' no need for indecisive or toxic people :]
I second this!
omg im dying this was a hard watch LMFAO
This is such a great episode. Thank you for heading in this direction 😭❤️ this is cathartic to watch and know we aren’t alone in ending up in these situations. I love you guys and love your commentary
Dana’s in her I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) era.
And seems like dan is going in that way too sjsjs
its impressive how yall just made me cringe for 7mins straight that long pause of silence too? I WAS SCREAMING
I can't WAIT for her to break up with him already omg
oh man this writingggg!!!!! SO GOOD! I wish u guys would lean in more on these longer dialogue going deeper on very niche topics - its something normal media dont do. I love it. so good.
The ending!!! 🤣 This has gotta be my favorite episode to date!
Happy to know that we're all thinking the same 😂
wow…. his question was very telling…
Can you elaborate? I love reading comments
Yes please! Elaborate
@@edgarreyes7792it puts Daniel in a situation to devalue Dana when she’s in earshot. Kit’s methodically trying to cut Daniel out of the relationship.
I am on my knees pleading with yall to drop more episodes asap this is literally my favorite show 😭
This made my head hurt! I love seeing how this has unfolded. Daniel is sure to give you some solid advice. ❤
i love this so much keep up the amazing work
Had a feeling you guys would post today and bam! This series makes me so happy
Guys, GREAT episode! Love the direction you’re taking this!!!
Ooof I relate to Daniel so much on that one!! Being able to see through people's bs . I'm glad Daniel is able to speak about the toxicity he sees. ❤
Just caught up! Enjoying this so much hehe! Haven’t seen the nuances of all these experiences captured so realistically before
This guy's flag is more red than the wine. He really needs to be saved by himself. ( 4:06 )
Omg I'm so glad you all did this one. Thank you for hearing us on this one. 🙏 love you two.
Babe wake up new poly couple ep just dropped ‼️‼️🔥
this writing is so believable and the directing and acting is hilarious. if your team intended for the watchers to laugh, feel uncomfortable, feel awkward, and so on, you've certainly done it for me
Great episode... really digging into dynamics... I want more Esther though!
That was my same thought! I miss her lol
Me too! Finally, some ppl that also lile Esther! ❤
@@brysiax3….100%….can’t go wrong having that smokeshow drop by every ep…
I could write a book about this episode. I had to rewatch it twice and then replay specific segments a few times after that. When Dana said Kit is just dumb I though "uhhh, not really..." When Kit popped off the question about what Daniel needs from other women that he can't get from Dana it really solidified he is not dumb. He is very calculated. Unrelated: What happened with Penelope and Daniel? The date went so well. I want her to pop back in, I loved their chemistry!
About Penelope and Daniel, I've been curious too, it was a nice date night. But I think it was only one time/on session dating kinda like, when the chemistry is suddenly off when they're apart. I hope we get the answer from them soon.
I also thought Dana had a really cute interaction with their neighbor many episodes ago
First time physically cringing, good job guys looove your vids ❤❤❤
Can someone point out the fact that the way he got Daniel to answer the question was through making him UNCOMFORTABLE!!! THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HES DOING AND HES GOOD AT IT!!
I really didn’t get it. What was Daniel’s answer? He was only complimenting his gf sayin shes the perfect woman and that polygamy is what makes this relationship good,to be allowed to date someone else. Then he said cheers to “our gf” then suddenly dana said that Daniel answered kits question. I don’t get it will u pls help me i feel dumb
Break up 👏👏👏 break up 👏👏👏
Wow the dialogue and acting feel so natural!!! It is really impressive! Congrats!!
The cutaways to Dana opening the wine bottle helps cut down the secondhand awkwardness of the guys’ conversation without taking away from the walls that we’re seeing exist between them. Excellent filmmaking. Expert, even.
Only jack can save them both now
I don't like him, run away!!
Guy has serial killer vibes😂
"How do we get a men to listen" lmao brilliant
New drinking game, take a shot every time Daniel says “I mean…”
The awkwardness of the conversation really was doing me in. I think it's the dramatic irony of being privvy to all sides of the situation, but it sounds like Dana has been pretty explicit in what she's told Daniel so he's at least mostly prepared here. The thing is, though, that when first meeting that new person there's still that touch of "open to try and form your own opinion" mindset that is the reason why he probably still had some disturbingly positive feelings about kit while also then realising afterwards"wait, I know this person is horrible to my partner." And then being conflicted but also more understanding at the same Time as to why this is an issue for your partner as well. Not suddenly saying "YOU. HAVE. TO. STOP. THIS." and trying to "save" them from the relationship though is good because you're allowing room for the other person's autonomy and just providing insight instead of controlling their relationship which can definitely be hard to do in a situation like this, but is generally best practice unless it's gotten physical or clearly done severe mental/emotional damage
I agree, Kit seems relatively innocuous and just a bit daft or naive but underneath is there some sort of insidious nature there? I’d want to know what he thinks of therapy and if it is as I imagine I’d have a hard time not wanting parallel for him if I was Daniel. Like hey hun, if this is fun for you right now and you’re happy go for it just don’t include me in this ride. Maybe if he grows and does some work down the line we can throw a joint bday celebration for dana or something..🤷
Have you ever seen the TV show, what we do in the shadows? I think kit is an energy vampire.
GREAT EPISODE
I love you guys sm my fav KZheadrs ever !!!
I can’t believe it we made it official with this guy haha
Also, it's evident this other guy is trying to move in on Dana and try to cut Daniel out..
One of the best episodes!
The way he rolled up like Dark Horse is... kinda poetic?
Great episode. Did you all hire a cinematographer and get better cameras , looks great.
FINALLYYY!!! some damn dopamine I’ve been waiting for all damn week
This episode was amazing
Me encanta! gracias por todo este contenido increíble que están generando
Dana's face is the best!!! Love it
This interaction is what we all NEEDED
Im a day oner and now I know why im still here. Keeps getting better & BETTER.
And that's why I am still watching, I guffawed! Love you guys❤
i neeeedd morre of thiss i love watching this omg
And you're both amazing actors!
How was this somehow the most cringy episode so far… Not even Esther and her ex boy toy situation was this…. Ew
The back and forth made my heart rate go up in so many ways lol
She's going the complete opposite direction lol
KZhead has ruined me. I prefer the comment section on IG but I wanna see the full episode on KZhead!!
well now i'm curious what those initial years of the relationship looked like that Daniel is saying he didn't listen to Dana!! that's quite the character arc growth
Samee I wanna see it too
Kit just absolutely disgusts me. I f'in HATE that guy 🤢
This guy makes Daniel look so good I’m like forgetting all the annoying wishy-washy “I don’t wanna tell Esther I like her” bs he pulled at the beginning.
this might be your most genius episode yet
The fact that he told her to stop talking when she met his friends and then had the AUDACITY to tell Daniel that she’s a great conversationalist pissed me off soooo fast
"He isn't that bad he is just kind of dumb" - NEVER, please, never use that as an excuse for people to hurt you! Someone's lack of intelligence shouldn't give them a free pass to treat you bad. Otherwise you'll struggle. Take care of yourself , guys ❤
i used to think Danas boyfriend was so cute but he looks so crazy and unhinged now 😂 its like i dated him and broke up with him already. what takes people years to understand, they did in just a series of short videos
Dana. DANA. You can't FIX HIM.
I’d really like a good 1 hour of your content. A movie if you will. I love you guys so much! 🫶🏻
You guys are awesome
This conversation is the truest
Ugh- waited two weeks for this??!🧐🤨😆
Daniel looked so troubled at the end :') I hope things get better
The mental gymnastics to want to save the toxic relationship... He would take an insane amount of work to change that would ruin you in the process. Dangerous to try... speaking from experience
Gosh that question was deserving of a lash off..I wouldn’t even…in my own house! And also like the passive aggressive backhanded comments…it’s just a skit …it’s just a skit 😂
This episode made me wriggle more than any other, a dream turned nightmare for Dana 😭
