The Dana and Daniel scene after the tension from her scene with Kit is such a relief. Their energy together is so soothing
They are the best
My wife and I are poly and coming home from dates we are just like that 😊 . In fact, its 1am and my wife is out breaking up with bf #2 right now... 😅
It's so great, love the lack of jealousy and of course the almost mirrored energy or more like infinity half the circle is in the other person.
When Kit said “I don’t mind” I was screaming internally for Dana to say “yeah, but I do. Get out.” It’s like she’s determined to have no needs in that relationship and I am not about it.
Yes!! I hate he never asks her if she's okay with it. But she never says anything and then goes and complains 🤦🏽♀️
its probably cus like, after being w daniel so long,,,being extremely comfortable with him, hum knowing her , her desires, boundaries, etc...to the point that she rarely needs to verbalize those things to him. shes out of practice
Kit seems to do what he wants and doesn't really think about how his actions impact other people. He assumes if he's okay with it then Dana should be too. While she didn't explicitly say she was uncomfortable, her question and demeanor make it very clear she isn't comfortable with him in there.
He's already displayed he cannot read body language. So in this context, it might be wise not to rely on body language. Depending on the person, it could just be that he's unable to read body language unless someone gives him context of and how it looks in Dana specifically. Doesn't have to be ignoring it and in turn, malicious.
Agree 100%. Why is she still with him? I can't wrap my head around it.
some people(especially men) are just dense like that though.
@@nxfelibata2403 It's not that he's dense its his style of communication. He communicates like many men. Direct and little context. If he says I want you to sleep over its literally that. Dana communicates in many ways sometimes like in the bathroom she uses mostly body language, if she had said directly I'm uncomfortable peeing in front of you I need more time, I imagine he would have discussed a way for her to be more comfortable with it.
@@Fweaka Yes exactly
🤦🏾♀️ how can a grown man be this oblivious to privacy and boundaries. Dana girl, speak up. Closed mouths don’t get fed.
He's not oblivious. He knows exactly what he's doing.
@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 Assuming malicious intent in everything is nearly as bad as actually having malicious intent. Is it possible he, as you say, knows exactly what he's doing? Yes. It's also entirely possible that he actually is oblivious. That's why a conversation needs to happen. Don't ignore the possibility of the worst, but don't assume it either
@@ALeafOnTheWind42 "dont asume evil when its ignorance" i dont know where i heard it but pretty much.
I’m telling you… they’re setting it up for Dana and Kit to break up… can’t wait to see a four-ple in the future!!!
Hiding phone under pillow…creating privacy. Touching her phone and barging in on her constantly…taking away her privacy….this man is a red flag. Please dump him.
Fr I need her to dump him already I can’t take it anymore😢
And date jack instead
He’s such a tool!
I think she knows it too. Wonder why she is staying with him?
So I touch my girlfriends phone. But like not as a I look at it but as a she falls asleep I charge her phone next to her I don't move it
Daniel's eyes wide at the end realizing Kit already HAS barged into the shower 💀💀💀

The turkey gobbling killed me. I'm dead now. This is your fault. 😵🤣🤣🤣
I’m obsessed with the camera panning to the cute doggie
Is it just me or did the dog just suddenly begin appearing in the show with no explanation? or did i miss it?
@@AnimefortheLazyman I came to the comments to see if it was just me :D
I think they said on TikTok that they got a new dog, so they're just throwing him in the new episodes now. Something along those lines. @@AnimefortheLazyman
Even the dog is saying, "bruh!"
Dana saying "polycouple" while doing the turkey impression was a really nice touch ❤
i missed that! and btw, can i say that my wife and i both wished they had never changed the way they say "the poly couple?" haha. or maybe they could change it just once every season? or just once every story arc? I mean, IS there a pattern? it was soothing for the first 20-30 episodes that it never changed...it was like the shows theme song 😆 btw my poly wife and i love this show and have introduced it to every single one of our friends now. you've created the perfect poly bible so we don't have to answer all their questions anymore haha
So here's what I love about this episode. We've seen Kit sort of just keep pushing Dana's boundaries. And it's not that he's trying to - I just don't think he's considering her as having boundaries? Or that her boundaries are silly because they aren't his? But Daniel knows Dana's boundaries. And he very clearly knows what Dana is and isn't comfortable with. Kit, at this point in time, seems like he's less interested in allowing Dana to become comfortable with him over time and more forcing her into his own comfort-ability zone. Yeah this is great. I love all of the relationship dynamics between all of the characters, all of the dialogue, everyone feels so real. You guys are killing it.
As much as Dana is superb at communicating she absolutely acts foolish with Kit and overlook his red flags. That's a lot of benefits of doubts. How much is too much?
sometimes when going from a place of open communication where you’ve been together for over a decade to a new one that just seems to have this strong energy can be jarring. especially when you’re left thinking “how can someone do this?” it doesn’t leave much room for speaking up
Finally Dana is gonna set boundaries with Kit! He seems like a nice guy but he's a little aloof
He's a "nice guy," all right. The kind of "nice guy" whose "niceness" is tactical, and ends as soon as he doesn't get what he wants.
She’s his property
He’s a little aloof or two
@@trollzone1 He certainly seems to think so. I predict he's gonna try and demand exclusivity and convince her to dump Daniel. I've seen that happen to poly women a few times IRL.
@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 let’s hope she says Yes. These people and their lifestyle is sick.
Honestly there needs to be more scenes of Dana and Daniel, they're just so fun together!
I don't mind, therefore, you must not mind either. Flawless logic. It's refreshing to see the immediate contrast with how Dana is so relaxed and enjoying herself while talking with Daniel.
Loved LOVED the shower callback! 😂😂😂
Awww I love Dana and Daniel talking about setting boundaries with Kit. This is so real. “I don’t wanna” is just, yeahhh. I get it. But cha gotta…
It was super real to be just outright saying this will be an uncomfortable conversation and I don't want to, even if I know it will be for the best long term. I love the Dana and Daniel have each other for these conversations.
I lost it at the "omelette du fromage" 💀💀💀
“I’m just a wee li’l child! I can barely reach the floor!” WTF LOL HAHAHA
i love all these weird idiosyncracies - they make the show so real. its stuff you can't make up. even if our weird things are unique, we all have them.
When Dana goes into silly mode Daniel looks at her with complete adoration. Kit looks at her with annoyance.
i don't think it's annoyance, per say. i think it's more foreign for him to see someone act like dana does. because he liked when she was being silly with the french.
@@420smolbean well he wasn’t interested in the fact that she was being silly, he was just interested in having sex
I put my phone under my pillow to fall asleep to podcasts, but I put it on airplane mode to minimize the size of the brain tumor it's giving me.
Unfortunately it is not the wiifii or telephone valves that are effecting you (they are everywhere) but working electric device near your head
that only works if you're sleeping on an airplane, I'm sorry to say
So there's a concept call ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation... ionizing is Gamma Rays, X-Rays, (some) Ultraviolet. Non-ionizing is things like Light, Infrared (heat), Microwaves, Radio. I've written them in the order of most power to least power. Ionizing is call that because it ionizes things, strips the electrons off of atoms, those electrons bounce around stick to other atoms, break up molecules ..... molecules like DNA.... that causes tumors. Things in the lower end of ultraviolet, and on down do not have enough energy to ionize things. Your cell phone communicates in radio waves, wifi is around the border between radio and microwaves.... If those things could cause cancer, you'd get cancer from a simple light bulb... or just the heat your own body makes. both MUCH higher energy than wifi.
@@DianaBell_MG I believe you and I still feel compelled to put it on airplane mode :) Just can't help but want to be extra sure.
What if you had been pooping? Absolutely an invasion of privacy 😳 it's cool that he's cool but he needs confirmation that you are cool before he just barges in. Maybe he grew up with lots of siblings and just one bathroom? 🤔 Also, squatty potty for the win!
Dana doesn't want Kit barging in all the time. She also doesn't want to confront him about it. How about just locking the door. No talk, no drama just click. Is that too simple or what?
I mean I hate that he walked in at all but omfg if I had been pooping? I would have literally screeched. NO ONE watches me poop that is off limits 😅
OK now I'm convinced Kit is this way on purpose. He clearly doesn't want *his* space invaded! Phone IN his pillowcase! So he does understand boundaries. He protects his compulsively, and invades hers strategically. Kit gots to go!
honestly, i kinda feel serial killer vibes. if this wasn't a comedy i would have said it from that first setup with the "forgotten" wallet...is it just me ?
To the people saying she is overlooking the red flags... she isn't. Both Kit and Dana realize there's something off about their relationship but they like each other enough to want to make it work. That happens soooo much irl. I give this series soooo many points for how real it is
But it's not making it work, what a laugh. It's a meek person refusing to speak up for themselves and an over bearing person not bothering to ask their partner, is this okay? That's not how you make a healthy relationship work
I really love Dana & Daniel's relationship, they're so healthy and honest with each other and you can tell they are completely comfortable and confident in their relationship through seeing how they communicate. Dana can talk about everything with him and vice versa, I really hope this reflects their relationship outside of this series as well. Even if their flings don't work out, they always have each other.
poly brings out the best or the worst in couples, often both. But if you survive doing it, the longer you do it, the closer you and your primary partner often become. - source, my wife and myself 9 years of Poly Marriage
@@AnimefortheLazyman That's beautiful :)
that's so invasive.. I really don't like if anyone is next to me while I be on the toilet. Especially when I have to wipe me afterwards... I just don't want anybody judge me for how I do my stuff and I want some privacy for myself. Best reason why I don't have a toilet in the same room as the shower.
"I've seen you naked." "Well, you haven't seen me pee." "I have now. Don't worry, I don't mind." Dude. Maybe she DOES mind.
these episodes keep getting better and better!!
I can’t explain how invested I am in this storyline and how well it is done. This is striking such a good balance between drama and humor. Gobble gobble.
I love how Dana is so honest about posing while doing normal stuff lol
I am so invested in this series! I love all this little hints that you are giving us of the characteristics of every person in this show!
These stories giving me more perspective on relationships than therapy
Excellent as always
"kit i could have diarrhea, would you mind if that was the case?!???!!?" i know a relationship is about letting go things sometimes but i think this is too much Y__Y hope Dana can talk about it, i'm kinda sad that she's giving a lot of liberties to him so he can be comfy, but i also understand that yeah ...sometimes you do that. Speak out, Dana!! Be strong!!
This video IN PARTICULAR cracks me up lol - the timing of, "he had to floss" is gold
LOVED the realness of shower posing, all men must know 😂😂😂 Ugh at Kit's patronising "mmhmm" at Dana's joke. How does he not feel that phone? Episide subtitle: "The Princess and the Pee"
Now I'm glad Dana is gonna set boundaries!!!!!! You always need them especially when one significant is more comfortable than than the other, even Daniel senses it ❤❤
Dana, run! Srsly he has such a silliar killer vibe. The phone always never him, under the pillow and in the same time not respecting others boundaries, the thing with unusked present and how he acted then... I tell you it will not end niceely.
omg i thought i was the only one seeing this. even the "forgotten wallet" how he first met her screams setup!!
yup. didn't the main character in psycho kill women in showers?
Always interesting and unexpected to see where the story goes.. also reading the comments and everyone's point of view is so cool
Kit needs to get the idea already 🤣
Dana’s comic timing is gold
".... next time you shower!" *preview pops up for Dana and bf showering 🤣🤣🤣
same here! i'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed
Here’s what’s happening. Kit has an idea of what a relationship is in his head and does things he thinks are ok without realizing that some people might not like it (Dana) it is really interesting and actually a good written story because Dana doesn’t like these things but none of them are a problem enough to break up with him immediately but she also struggles to communicate that she doesn’t like these things so it doesn’t get any better. I think part of why Dana liked him in the first place was his confidence and spontaneousness but she only enjoyed those things in certain situations. That’s why she isn’t dumping him because it’s back and forth I think she likes that about him because it’s different from Daniel but she doesn’t like when he takes it too far and like I said she isn’t communicating that so it just leads to her trying to get the good parts and ignoring the bad parts.
Dana hit him with the “omelette du fromage” and it was over!
Dana you’re a star, talent, looks, charisma.
I can’t stop thinking about how awkward it must be to film scenes like this. 😅 Touchè.
I have been binge watching this. I love the love Dana and Daniel have lol it makes me wish that they weren't poly and just put all that time into each other but that wouldn't make a good series
This guy gives me the ick. Also, no one who walks vertically (humans) is allowed to be in the room while I use the restroom, but I don't care as much about showering - my husband can be in the room while I shower.
No one who walks vertically 😂
Dana gobbling like a turkey and making it sound like, “thepolycouple” intro gobble😂😍
This is the best show ever. Bravo
Good one
It’s official, I’m addicted
DANA. You are so damn funny! Think I laughed for the last 2 1/2 minutes of the episode. This show is gonna be on Max one day. I can feel it!
YOU HAVE A DOG?! WHERE WAS HE OMG
He works with Perry the Platypus
"Omlet du fromage" the best call back. never gets old.
I looooooove theeem... 😭💜
I love how the whole thing between DATW and their NRE and "😍" for their new partners really makes them blind to the red flags. It's so true! I also love how Dana and Daniel is then back at home talking about their dates and they don't just say "red flag alert" or anything negative but support the other in fixing the problem the way they cboose to.
I’ve been dating for more than 20 years and I have never had a man barge in on me in the bathroom. Geesh. Also your dog is such a cutie and I love his expressions 😂
Yay… new one
lol I love that the "suggested video" that popped up with them in the shower. XD
Dana and Kit aren't vibing. They should just break up.
Got to take a moment to appreciate the comment section on here compared to the Wild West that is Instagram reels 🤠 Dana’s character seems very uncomfy with all of kits boundary pushing + weird rules, the sleep naked rule + door open to watch her sleep nah man couldn’t be me! It doesn’t seem like he stops and thinks about her comfort at all 🥹 Hope she gets out of that situation soon 🙏
The title card at the end should have been a turkey gobble! 🦃
Funny. Good channel.
THE FACE SAYING "yea uhhh he already did that.." GOD DAMN
The comedic timing of the scene in the showering coming up😂
Instead of forming it as a question it should be a "im telling you!" Not "wouldnt you want to wait outside until im done?" But "hey son- im peeing- wait the f*** outside"
This had better not be sad!
Kit gives me the creeps. Dana and Daniel are so precious together. And Daniel is sooooo🔥.
I loved the Steve Martin tribute (not sure if it was intentional or not).
The Dexter's Lab reference was tres magnifique *chefs kiss*
My Kindle charges on my nightstand during the day, and at night my phone takes it's charger, and I fall asleep reading and usually wake up with the kindle under my back or something. Also Also.... I do not think I would have been able to pull off putting that top on without exposing my butt to the camera... VERY talented.
"i do not mind" WELL DID YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND ABOUT THE FACT SHE MAY MIND??????? this dude is starting to really get under my skin in a baaaad way
same (+_+)
Poor Dana that looks so uncomfortable I’m so glad you could talk to Daniel about these things.
Either this is just a bump in the road or the chemistry between Dana and Kit is fading. He’s given me the ick quite a few times.
Squatty Potty Gang, represent! 🦶🚽
+1 😆
Kit will be sorry when he walks in on you changing a pad
if someone walked in on me doing that i would be mortified and so would the person, lmao
Omg its the dog! The dog that pees when you play Mario Party!!! Love him❤❤
Thank God you have Daniel helping you decipher what this man is trying to do. Obviously I know this is just a skit, but his character is turning slightly clingy, and I feel like this is headed towards a “oh be monogamous for me” route…🫣 the fact that he was like oh it’s totally fine, but didn’t even ask if Dana was fine with it. Geez, Louise.
Also, I love the part about polyamory where you can go home in your safe nest with your loving partner and they can make you feel completely accepted and heard and loved❤️🔥❤️🔥
Lol. This is a great topic actually! My partner and I have been both together and living together for about 4 years and we still give each other privacy in the bathroom. We never even talked about it, we just naturally don't bother each other when in the bathroom and I love it that way. First man I've ever been with that doesn't talk about or brag about his sh*ts and I love it 😂
Bragging about 💩? what in the world?!
omelette du fromage is a deep cut and even as a native French speaker I appreciate the reference to Dexter’s lab
Kit is giving me the ick, ESPECIALLY after seeing how normal Daniel is right after
How did Kit not pick up the hint at all😭 I couldn’t do it
need more dana and daniel. I cant STAND this guy
Can't imagine how hard it must be for Daniel to experience Dana going with all the things she hates..
Juuust end it! Honestly, I'm getting so annoyed with Kit that when I see him in the thumbnail I'm mot excited for the episode
The fact that Dana is being quite to get some privacy and making sure he is occupied is very telling
Red flags everywhere
I will cry
I HATE when my partner comes into the bathroom while I’m using the toilet! Hate it. It feels like such an invasion.
Omg that dog 😍😍😍
"Sounds like you guys are MIScommunicating." So true, and it's weird because Dana's aware of how important communication is. I'm having a hard time even thinking of a time where she set a real clear boundary with Kit. Which is off, cuz she's never struck me as the kind of person who wouldn't be able to say "Well I *do* mind. I'd prefer if you gave me some privacy while I'm going to the bathroom." It doesn't need to be harsh or combative, just a clear indication that she has a boundary. So many people talking about red flags, but to me it seems Kit just genuinely doesn't realize things are an issue, and it doesn't help that Dana isn't clear that they are. It's just like the sleepover episode. She doesn't like to sleep naked, yet made a pact to sleep naked ever time she's at his place, and then complained to Daniel about it. If that's not miscommunication, idk what is. And there's also the fact that it leaves an opportunity for her to develop resentment towards Kit when it could be avoided with a simple conversation. I like Dana and Kit, and they seem to like each other, and so it makes sense to try to work past the so called "red flags" that come up. If you can't do it in the beginning of a relationship, how're you gonna handle an unexpected one a year or two into it? The response can't always be to cut and run; you have to grow with people, make compromises and sacrifices, and realize that just because someone isn't like you, doesn't mean they wouldn't be great to and for you. All that being said, Kit definitely needs to work on his awareness. Obviously we as the audience are made to immediately understand that things are perfect, but naivete is a thing, and maybe he just needs Dana to give it to him straight, and tell him how to grow. If not to help their relationship now, but to help the girl he's going to be with after her. Nobody's perfect, and sometimes we need to be made aware of our imperfections in order to move past them.
It's not miscommunication, it's simply not communicating. Dana keeps throwing out hints and that dude obvs can't read minds.
I was thinking about kit last night, his willingness to be open and poly and comfortable. Dude you are a unicorn. Still Jack and Dana forever. Kit as a person I love you. You are not one for her.
I need to know if those are pee sound bytes or actual pee audio. This is very important to my relationship with DATW.
Dana - set boundaries, dump kit, and GO FIND BONNIE!!!!!! PLEASE 🙏🏽
lol yes. But also…Bonnie didn’t communicate well. Maybe he will work on that
the dog lol
thanks daniel for 1080p xD
I hope Dana will be able to talk to Kit. That man ignored so many of her boundaries. Does he have any empathy??
The random French was so funny😂😂😂
