I would love to see a double sibling podcast with Christine and Jen, and Ben and Matt!! 😩👏👏👏

“I plead the fifth”
“We’re in Canada”

😂

On the topic of asking people when they'll have kids: the number of people I see harassing Safiya and Tyler in their live streams about them having kids is a little disgusting.

Can we give some props to their parents? Cristine and Jen seemed to have an amazing childhood from the pictures. They raised amazing, self-sufficient women.

[JustLikeAFlower]

Once a month we should get a sibling Pod and each month we switch from Jen to Matt

[starrlesscreative]

as someone with auditory processing issues THANK YOU JEN for doing the captions. Google captions are so hard to understand sometimes

[RoKer]

It really is girl talk with Menchie sleeping down there lol

[btwjststfu]

Yes, we need to stop asking women when they are going to have kids. I am a married 30+ year old lady and even though we are planning on having a baby one day, we are NOT ready. And I am always being constantly asked why we're waiting and to just have one and we will figure it out. We are not ready, period. Becoming a parent is a big decision and it should be taken seriously. A baby/ child is not a cute puppy, it's a big deal.

Petition to make Jen a weekly guest cause this is GOLD

[leah]

Podcast idea: Ben gets to take Cristine on a vacation and Jen and Matt do a podcast that's just them, with Jen playing the role of Ben and Matt as Cristine 😉

[emm]

UGH 😩😍 Jen radiates the sweetest most pure energy. I always love when she makes appearances! 🤗

Going back to the question about sexist jokes or comments, I’ve found that a good way to deal with those sorts of comments (be it sexist, racist, etc.) is to make them explain it. I definitely use this a lot if I’m worried about the person becoming aggressive if I just blatantly and assertively call them out. Like “Wait I don’t think I understand the joke, what’s the punchline?” Because then they have to explain directly that they think of women or a certain race as inferior, and by now they most likely know that’s not an acceptable thing to just directly say out loud. So even if they don’t acknowledge or even really recognize they’re being terrible, it at least still makes them think about it and puts them in check a bit, and conveys that it’s not funny.

It is great and heartbreaking, at the same time, to watch you two. You remind me of my sister and I. I lost her 8 years ago to suicide and miss her so much. We had a relationship much like yours. Please know that you are each other's best friend and be there for each other. Me losing her was harder then when I lost my parents.

[lunascardigan]

Jen is literally acting like the the sweetest and most mature person here. We can't make jokes now. (But seriously, respect you guys so much)

[LU-qrkh]

Always nice to watch a podcast with my favourite Rotenberg. Oh and look! Cristine is here too!




All jokes, I love watching both of you!❤

[juliahlaemmer]

One of my favorite ways to call people out when they make inappropriate comments or jokes is to ask, "Can you explain why that's funny?' or a variation of asking why they're saying what they're saying because more often than not they get choked up and don't know how to respond because they know the meaning behind what they said is wrong.

[pantomimegoose]

Aw man, hearing you ladies talk about becoming closer as you got older makes me so jealous. I hope you don’t take that for granted because my sister and I never did!

[pinkudaduffer]

I thought Jen was chaotic type personality but she seems the sweetest soul. This podcast just cheered me up so much. Would be great if Jen appeared more in your videos Simply, becoz Jen is SimplySweetLogical.

I've always wondered why Cristine was put in commercials by her parents so it's interesting to know that Cristine and Jen don't fully know why either.

RE: Strict dad - I don't know what your existing relationship is with your dad, but if it's reasonable to discuss it, I'd recommend asking him what his dreams and desires are for your future. This will give you an understanding of his perspective. If he has a ridiculous fantasy of you being a single virgin forever, him saying it out loud might just help him realize that he is being ridiculous since he is talking to an 18 year old woman. You can also try asking him about his relationship with your mother and how he fell in love with her... Or ask him how he would judge a man's character. You'll probably learn a lot about what your dad values in young men, which will help you prepare your BF to meet him. You might also pick up some wisdom from a man/husband/father's perspective. I think a good way to get around a strict parent is to talk to them from the point of wanting to ask/learn from their experience. This shows that you respect their opinion/experience and also opens them up to considering that you're an adult going through thinking about your romantic future.
