All The Big Mistakes Women Make - Chrissie Mayr - #303

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hi friends, welcome back. My guest today is Chrissie Mayr. She's a comedian and a podcaster, and we're talking about how to avoid all of the mistakes that women make. A lot of success in life can be achieved by simply avoiding failure. I wanted to bring Chrissie on to discuss all of the lessons that she'd give her younger self from years of dating, family life, career prospects and estrogen in general. So today, expect to learn why no one under 60 years old should write relationship advice columns, why you deserve it all is a dangerous ideology, the biggest challenges Chrissie sees women facing in their careers, how to stop being single, why dating multiple men to learn the same lesson is a waste of time and much more. Basically, I always like giving lessons from people who've been through the wringer of life and come out the other side with some interesting insights. Sadly, being sans a vagina, my ability to give girls advice on how to live their lives is fairly limited, but I think there's an awful lot to take away from today if you're a guy, certainly in terms of understanding how girls' minds work. So yeah, maybe today can save some failing relationships and advance some careers all at the same time. Also, a little announcement, the Jordan Peterson episode, which was originally going out this Monday, has been delayed by one week. He's a busy guy with a busy schedule and that's been pushed back. But it will be out Monday, the 11th of May. It's been a very, very long time coming. And if you don't want to miss that, you need to make sure you've hit the subscribe button so that you are notified whenever an episode goes live. But now it's time to learn about the mistakes that girls make with Chrissie Mayr.
Chrissie Mayr, welcome to the show.

**Chrissie Mayr** (2:04)
Thanks for having me.

Have you managed to get dog poo off your shoe?

**Chrissie Mayr** (2:08)
Yeah, you know, it's starting to be springtime here in New York, and part of that means going around the yard and picking up poops and throwing them over the fence.

**Chris Williamson** (2:19)
Why is that only a springtime thing? What happens in winter?

**Chrissie Mayr** (2:23)
Well, what happens in winter is they get covered in the snow, and then when the snow melts, like all the poops appear, like, oh, that's kind of what's been happening here in New York. You're like, damn, somebody had a busy winter, and then you like say it to the dog, and you're like, yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (2:41)
I went on a little walk earlier on. This is like a weird thing that people who love dogs but don't have a dog do. So whenever someone that's coming towards me on the street is walking a dog on a leash, I won't make eye contact at all with the other person, because this is my 15 seconds of dog attention, potentially for the day, if I have a bad walk and I don't pick up many dogs. But I wonder what they must think of me, because I'm just this psychopath walking past staring at their dog, longingly staring at their dog, because I love dogs because they're awesome. And yeah, I just wonder if it weirds people out.

**Chrissie Mayr** (3:19)
It actually makes me feel really good to hear that you do exactly what I do. I could not care less about the owner. Like exactly, like I hoard as much dog time as possible. Like I almost think like, you know, like when I was in New York City more, like there'd be dog walkers and then you'd be like jackpot. You know, I like cross the street to meet a dog. And I'm like, what would be like the next level thing that like the dog just couldn't, I think if you just laid down, that would be the thing the dog like could not avoid. At that point, it's like the dog is gonna jump on you.

**Chris Williamson** (3:53)
So the human's just there to facilitate you looking at a dog, basically.

**Chrissie Mayr** (3:57)
Yeah. And when I walk, actually it's like my boyfriend's mom's dog, but I feel like we're like close. Like I was there the day she came home. So I feel like, I don't know, we're like, we're close buds. When people just go up to Muffin, I don't take it as a personal offense. I'm just like, no, she's super effing cute. Like, of course.

**Chris Williamson** (4:18)
Muffin.

**Chrissie Mayr** (4:19)
Muffin. She likes to come in during my podcast recordings. And then she'll like, she'll sort of like put her paws up on me and like look, but then sometimes while doing that, she'll kick out my internet cord.
