Daniel Guaico
He's an actor, he's an actor, he's an actor...
The actor is really good at playing the part :3
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For real!! I keep having to remind myself that he's PRETENDING TO BE INSUFFERABLE!!
God i cringed so hard i was so angry😮
Every scene with this man.
The sex CAN’T be that good 😒
& even if it was, still not worth it.
Trust me, sadly it can
Still, pretty off character for an intelligent woman like Dana to fall for BABY TALK
😂😂😂
If more straight men did their homework and learned about sex from books, podcasts and professionals, then the few men who ARE great at sex wouldn't get away with horrible behavior because women wouldn't be incentivized to stay in bad situations for great sex because more of it would be available.
I feel like if Daniel saw this he would say, “Dana… wtf is wrong with you. Dump this guy!”
TOTALLY
I literally heard this in Daniels voice as I read it 🤣🤣
He filmed it
Not me reading this in Daniel’s voice lol
@@LexLeo_ lol I know. Sorry I meant the character not the person
I'm glad Dana stood up for herself in the car. But then she gives in to baby talk? They're setting up this guy for a big downfall, and it is going to be sweet to watch. Never let anyone dull your shine!
I love that expression so much ✨🥰💖 Amen to all that! I want Kit dumped 😂
Their relationship is increasingly painful to watch. Attraction without compatibility is cringey as hell.
I wish someone had been there to tell me that years ago so that I could see I was simply dating someone incompatible with me. Instead I continuously dated guys that told me I talked too much and getting hurt over it. I knew it wasn't me, but never had the words that Dana had. I just listened and eventually broke up with them.
I loved her Malicious Compliance for talking too much it was great and imo proved her right. Clearly they enjoyed her company and jokes. This butthead completely read the room INCORRECTLY. While Dana was her awesome self.
What the .. what!? That was SO awkward and his misogyny is SUCH a red flag... Ewwww
How did you watch this 11 hours before the rest of us?
@@TheErinbish probably patreon or joined the channel as a member
I don’t think he be misogynistic I think he was just be an a-hole
I don't think he hates women, I think his just a bit weird and socially awkward.
Lol orbiter beta
Don't know if i hate more the "u talk to much"/"it's called be polite, something u dont have" or the fact he clearly think he is in the right and is trying to avoid the conflict with a stupid babylike voice
The baby voice TRIGGERED me
Seriously! No hearing her or sincerity in his apology, just "can we move past this?" The worst part is that he could have politely pointed out that they're both shy around outgoing people like Dana. He could have lead the conversation asking them about their lives, since he knows them better. Saying she doesn't know how to be polite was like, wow. One of those things you can never really take back saying.
Yeah, I’m in the same boat tbh. That was hella uncomfortable to watch ~ but it’s damn good representation. They do so well at showing the parts of life that no one talks about.
His behavior this time had so many manipulative strategies. Getting her to commit by being shy and cute about it, overwhelming her with a sudden meet up with his friends, invalidating her strongest social skill (humor and story telling) and silencing her personality, making her insecure about her perception of a social situation so she questiones herself, invalidating her anger by mocking her expression of it, then distracting from her criticism with silly voices to get her to forgive him. Toxic as hell.
Dana pls read here. Free therapy
Wow great analysis
She's going to hate herself tomorrow when she's relating this to Daniel.
I was totally thinking about that convo as well! My guess is this episode will be a catalyst after a realizing talk with Daniel.
DANA PLEASEEEE LEAVE HIM 😭🙏🏼
Run Dana Run!!!
BREAK UP 👏👏👏 BREAK UP 👏👏👏BREAK UP 👏👏👏
Hes literally terrible. What does she in him?? Hes is the whole red sea.
i can’t wait for this relationship to end… oh my god
Ok, one of the things that makes this series so endearing is that the characters are realistically flawed. When I tell people about the poly couple, I feel a lot of them are expecting a how-to. This is a comedy drama and there are pitfalls everywhere! He's an ass, and she needs to take responsibility for her bad decisions.
This comment is the right takeaway! They don't put themselves on a pedestal. It's all very human and relatable (even vexingly so lol).
I cannot stand this man. He is a toxic cesspool of a human. And she just KEEPS giving in. The misogyny is so gross and quite frankly the storyline has gone so far I almost want to be done watching this series.
Yessss 👏👏👏
Ooommmg i reeeally hate him, he is soo..... weird in a negative way! Like he is crossing her boundaries ALL THE TIME and then tells her to be more still and polite??? Duuump hiiim pllsss
I was looking for this comment, omg he is awful lol.
This guy is killing me,... "We just met at a cafe"... Their meet cute was so cute that it felt like it was written by some very talented writer people...
What if he was FISHING with his flaky date excuse and was looking for a chick like Dana! OOH-OR!!...What if he got stood up cuz he's toxic and the original woman who flaked on the date had GOOD reasons we are JUST seeing more each time Dana feels an ICKY RED FLAG FROM THIS TURD OF A GUY.
Anyone else who needs to take a break every 10 seconds to process this emotionally?
literarily me. I thought them returning from the restroom was bad. In the comments a second time, hiding from the baby voice scene rn.
Did this the last few episodes but now forced me to push through and oh boy... T'was hard most of the time but very rewarding when Dana just stopped talking and started smiling which led to the conversation run absolutely dry. She was 100% right the whole time and that proved her point. This guy needs to go. 😅
I had to hug my self as I watched their interactions, something about this really made me feel things I don't have words for right now.
I put off watching this video because he is so icky.
Maybe there's a reason he got stood up in the first place..... 🤔
This activated my fight or flight SO HARD
this activated my fight or FIGHT so hard.
Oooof I normally rush to every episode but when I see his face in the thumbnail now there is just so much dread 😂
Same 😂 but I can't stop myself, I have to know what happens next 😂
He (the actor) is having so much fun being bad and silly XD
He seriously almost made Dana break character that scene - and I bet he did on other takes. Watch how she starts smiling/smirking moments before he even begins the voice, lol. Hilarious scene other than him being a jerkface
When he started yelling and pointing instead of taking her seriously she should have gotten out of the car and never seen him again
i would have left when he told me his friends were just being polite to me & i should stop talking so much.
@@LaciRae If his friends wouldn't like her "real me", he should either reconsider if he actually likes her - or why those people are his friends.
The way this episode made me cry cos it reminded me so much of ex partners that would try and make me feel as small as they could.. yuck. Had to repeatedly tell myself they’re just acting.
Ew, that baby voice he does during confrontation is the exact way my narcissist ex would try to devalue me and my feelings.
I'm so sorry you went through that xx
Run, Dana, just run!!!
Yes, RUN!
The way she went silent after he accused her of talking so much was incredibly satisfying 😙👌
Omg, what. the. fuck. did I just watch? 😂 I heard this story somewhere how a guy literally told Dana that she was talking too much, I didn't think I would see it! Kiiiit 😤
Oh I thought they were breaking up - SIGH. Cause this dude is just a wall of red flags
I hate this guy so much but I’m also so glad to be validated in my very initial hatred of him lol. Also hallo fellow early watchers!!!
There was a linea from another chapter with the other couple, right?
I'm so with you. Called it from the start.
What is Dana still doing with him? The was unsure about Kit and then agrees to be his girlfriend? He makes me crazy!
Dana wtf are you doing?????? Please break up with this dude 🚩🚩🚩
I wish they'd post bloopers sometimes. Cause i wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face at the end 😂
Omg yes pls how can we convince them to do this lol
I get that the poly couple is inspired by true events, keyword INSPIRED, so i can’t say for certain what’s right and what’s wrong. What I can say is that the atmosphere, the acting, especially Dana’s frustration captivated me. It felt so real. I recently had an argument with my partner about the directions to where we parked. I was so frustrated! But I learned to be more understanding. While we probably can’t change the outcome of this story because it’s already happened, what we can do is to reflect on it but most importantly enjoy it for what it is. Good comedy, romance and something something…. Something meaningful, the point is I’m realizing I’m not a poet or some philosophical expert but that’s the point.
Is so fucking hard to see someone getting mad for just being yourself. It is acting, but happens all the time irl.
I know it might "ruin the magic" but I'd love a behind the scenes to learn more about how you find your actors, if you know them in real life, what they are really like, etc.
Binged the whole series now I’m stuck with the rest of you waiting for new ones to drop. This is like crack. It’s sooo goooood. I also hate this guy and I hope Dana stands up for her self soon she’s to funny for him.
She's too much... Too much of all that is good and he deserves less - like nothing and nobody!!
“Am I in trouble?” …the utter manipulation 🙄 This guy is so clearly intimidated by and lowkey jealous of Dana. People like that scare the crap out of me. It never ends well.
This is absolutely disgusting behavior. Manipulative as hell. Unhealthy and toxic. I know the whole point is to be realistic, because people often end up in relationships that aren’t healthy because they gaslight themselves into believing they are being dramatic, or aren’t worthy of better. This is just so hard to watch.
We hate him so much PLEASE put us and Dana out of our misery
BREAK IT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ALREADY I HATE THE BABY VOICE
Last time Dana asked if she is in a toxic relationship. Yes, yes you are, you're still in a toxic relationship.
Yuck. I might have bailed. I also would have called him out in front of his friends. "Oh, I'm sorry. I've been instructed to stop talking, so....".
I absolutely would have too and made the whole thing so uncomfortable like "While I want to keep telling you what happened at the gym, Kit just told me that I should be quiet because you guys hate me and everything I've said tonight and you're just being polite. I'm so sorry, I thought we were having a great time" 🥺 Yeahhhh... I dated a physically and emotionally abusive A-hole for a few years and just got to the point where I'd drop into conversation the messed up stuff he was saying quietly like this in a sincere way so everyone eventually knew what a monster he was 😅
OMG the wave of anger that passed through me when he said she was talking too much!!
Love the malicious compliance! “Don’t want me to talk, ok I won’t then…” Also was that baby or the gingerbread man 😂
Oh my gosh, PLEASE end things with this man.
see, the writing and acting is immaculate! We, the viewers, obviously see the horrible trainwreck occurring. But this is really how bad some people are at letting horrid things pass in moments that should be immediate grounds for dismissal
So true! While our friends watch awkwardly
This was horribly uncomfortable Jesus Christ
I love where your going with this story, showing how it starts and slowly turns sour with bits and pieces of the manipulation from the bf, the good & bad. Giving you all the emotions. I see this relationship storyline going on for a while, to really show how toxic and manipulative relationships happen under your nose. Didn’t realize it at first but I’m starting to see now where it’s going and i know this series is going to help so many people in similar situations open there eyes to the bigger picture and the mental damage it does to you over time. It’s going to be a slow burn and with great detail, I can see it. Amazing work and writing. This will absolutely be a cautionary & awareness series.
This whole relationship is making me sick
The transformation is complete. I hate him.
Omg I got the biggest ick from him lmaooooo. I was literally yelling at my phone “GET OUT OF THE CAR DANA!” Ugh…. My face the entire car ride went from anger to complete and utter disgust.
That wasn't acting at the end 🤣🤣 pure improv and I'm here for it!
The way I raced to the comment section to have my feelings validated
This walking red flag is Dana’s kryptonite.
dudeeee the acting is so good omg
Now THAT is how you handle an argument! /s
holy shit i remember being in a similar situation, being told i was rude and insensitive when i literally was just making jokes everyone laughed at, and I later on SENT PERSONAL APOLOGIES to every person at the party for that joke and literally every single person there told me they barely remember the joke and that i just generally was being funny and not off-putting 🙄
WTF DID I JUST WATCH???? GOD they are such good actors because he pissed me off and then the last scene almost make me puke lol
I rewatched some of the early videos with Kit and it is wild the change over time. Early videos even had comments with him being all green flags. Really great writing, acting, and pacing with this character. He mentioned in one video that he wasn't the best boyfriend to a previous partner who ended up cheating on him. I think he's been slipping into those same habits; he got comfortable and stopped trying to be better. I hope Dana ends it with Kit asap, she deserves better. And I also hope that when it happens, it's a wake-up call for Kit. (Seriously though kudos to Justin Daniel Brush - really fantastic job with this character.)
Can't believe this guy is like "you gotta know how to read the room"
Kudos to the actors of the friends for bringing the conversational tension. It was thick.
DANA FUCKING BREAK UP WITH THAT MAN UGHHHHH
O👏M👏G👏 the fing baby talk, the “you're doing a lot of the talky talky talky” and the mansplaining how to have a conversation…. Please DANA! I rarely hate a fictional person so much
This one is making me so sad you guys 😭😭 hits right home, being told you talk too much and such
Omgg that episode was too short for me. I wanna see the break up 🎉
Is there a way the story arcs can somehow come together in a way that involves Jack kicking this guy's @$$? I don't see Daniel doing it, but the more we get to know him, I can kind of see Jack stepping in if they're at the same place at the same time.
Omg yeeees! Thiiis is what we need! They need to meet out at a bar or something where he witnesses this behavior and instead of a rescue, it’s more lof him being like, “HELLOOOO?! thought you had more self-respect Dana,” that jogs her out of her “d!ck-matized” state.
This is why heterophobia exists
yk a series is good when it evokes the most visceral reactions. i remember watching a clip of Dana explaining that TPC is a way to creatively put forth some of her real life experiences for other people to watch and to think this could and still does happen to people in relationships breaks my heart. Kudos to the whole team for building such a deep, flawed yet human narrative for Kit and Dana. I can’t wait to watch Daniel’s reaction now 😆😆
Daniel is going to have to rescue her from this toxic relationship I’m calling it now
how does he keep getting WORSE
You know what I need? Healthier relationships for Dana and Daniel outside of the one they have with each other... Cause omg.... I just wanna see them be happy and having fun with their partners!!! Like pleaseeee
Honestly on a relatability front this reminds me of my first 3-4 years practicing polyamory and is not relatable at all to the past 5/6 years… I’d love to see more of this also!
Aren't they doing that with Esther and her man? Hoping its a swinging swapping situation!
You guys are amazing.
He knows EXACTLY what he's doing.
He has to go.
What happened to that girl Daniel went on a date with and smooched in the parking lot? Did I miss an episode is she no longer in the story lol
No, they're just adding more and more open stories, which drives me crazy! I want to know what happened with Penelope!
Holy hell. They know how to tell a fucking story. Every week I’m so involved in this. It’s crazy how high of production and acting this is. Like this is soooooooo good. Kit is just the perfect fucking villain. I had to stop watching so many times because I just couldn’t if felt so real
I'm struggling to like this bc i hated the energy in this so much HAHAHA. As always, SUCH an excellent job.
I saw this caption and thumbnail and I shouted OMG NOOOOO GET HIM AWAYYYYY 😶
dana....GURRL.... WHAT. THEE. FUCK. ARE. YOU. DOING.?¿???
Great writing as always.
This was the tipping point for me. This guy’s GOTTA GO!!!
Immediate deal breaker. Gross Dana, you aren't desperate. I truly hope this is fictional.
Someone did say to her that she talks too much during a date
Seems like a 180 from Jack
I thought she was finally going to dump him when she started yelling. How is she ignoring so many red flags?!
That moment when Dana gets angry and starts to stand up for herself was so powerful and awesome and then she completely regresses. I cannot wait for her to dump him. This is painful to watch at this point. You can do it Dana! We believe in you!!
Danaaaaaaa. Noooooooooooooooo
Early gang
i need this to be over rn!
Dana's acting just keeps getting better and better through time!
I feel for Dana so much because literaly everything Kit did so far I would fall for, while also being very aware it's bad. I actually found this episode hilarious, thank you so much for making this
Same, he really moves directly on the line of accaptable and unacceptable behaviour and ventures one way or the other from time to time. Like, I can see myself explaining his behaviour in the car that I/Dana was too aggressive, and he was just trying to defuse the situation instead of avoiding confrontation. I mean, the writing is SO GOOD. Even considering that they write from personal experience, you have to be so introspective to write it this way!
i almost spat my drink out at dana's passive aggressive silence hahaha
As soon as it started I said, “Why is she still seeing this guy”
Dana we can get you Reebok, Nike, Adidas, Jordan's, or any brand you need to lace 'em up and run.
The most infuriating thing here is that if Dana wasn't in a relationship with Daniel/didn't have another partner (or person who knows and cares about her) to call her out on tolerating this, she'd probably be sucked into this guys vortex of doom for WAY longer
I hope when the breakup finally happens it will be VINDICATING for all of us who had to suffer through this
Love Dana’s malicious compliance
Nice how she put him on blast by just smiling and let the vibe get real sus
Oh my god, you made me audibly go "*OOOOHH*" at my computer when he told her she talks to much. Good job!
Legit this guy irks me out, great acting cause omg
What was I coming to youtube for? Doesn't matter, new DatW is heeeere
Okay, Dana almost breaking character during that fight, she knew the voice that was coming. Omg I'm dying ahahhaha. However, holy cow - if you don't love Dana at her full Dana, why are you even here? Oh, sex.
You know what I really love about this series is the look it gives into what toxic is. So many people are okay with this kind of behavior and they don’t know it’s toxic. Or people treat others like this and don’t know how hurtful it is.
