Come With Me If You Want To Live: "Work Out" 3.3

Jenn's best friend Troy joins her and Dee in reviewing this episode of Work Out, which features more lesbian drama on a boat.

Jenn and Dee also answer viewer questions, including whether they liked high school, if they're out to their parents, their religious views, and what they think of labels.

And in case you forgot that Jenn and Dee (and Troy) are band geeks at heart, they do some marching band trash-talk at the end of the episode, and Jenn and Dee get into a fight over whose musical instrument is more important.

    Aww. I <3 Troy! (Jen and

    Aww. I <3 Troy! (Jen and Dee, fabulous is always, and that was the best catfight ever ;) ) I hope he comes back sometime soon. You have great harmony. ;) Oh, and pathology, so up there in my interests. I'd love to specialise in forensic pathology. :D

     

    You guys are so on the money. Work Out sounds so farsical, it's hilarious. Maybe if I become a forensic pathologist I could solve the mystery of who murdered the 'reality' aspect of this show.

     

    PS: Snap for the cool mums! And I love your intro.

    Just wanted to say that I

    Just wanted to say that I don't even watch work out coz all that reality tv crap just doesn't appeal to me but you two are so entertaining and funny that I watch this vlog every week. Troy made me laugh and I can't believe he managed to speak over you two fighting, that was impressive! Keep up the good work!

    HEY

    1. Okay so  LOVE the intro.

    2. Troy is too cute for words.

    3. Woodwinds rock. Have you ever played your Marching Frenchhorn to romance a girl? I think not. The saxophone is the sexiest intsrument ever. When I tell a female I play the sax, and she ask me to play her something before I can finish the song she taking her cloths off. NUFF SAID ; )

    4. Labels. I am 80% stud and 20% gay man =  100% gay.That is how I see myself. I could careless how other people label me. and I don't label others. Trying to place indivduals into box for someone else comfort or whatever is CRAP. why can't every one just be themselves without all the labels?

    5. Thanks for the wonderful vlog. I really needed a study break and this was great. Back to the books I go. One more final and I am DONE

    P.S. The best band in Florida is BCU. LETS GO WILDCATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  FAM who?

    jenn, why are you hatin on woodwind instruments?  i play the clarinet (big up to my cousin the saxophone...dee)  without us there is no you.

    love the intro and the banner...keep it hot.  i voted for ya'll on the afterellen hot 100.

    God Bless You

    I'm so happy that I got to watch today's vlog.  I was starting to think that most lesbians did not believe in God. I know there are many negative influences out there from the Christian community, but it's only because the most radical are usually the loudest.  I'm so happy to hear you say that you know that God loves you.  I believe it as well, he made me who I am, there is no reason to believe otherwise. 

     

    Troy is a sweetheart. I really enjoyed him on the show.  And I loved the boxers.  You girls do a great job, each week. Keep up the good work.

    Shele's picture

    You don't have to be Christian to believe in God.

    All the lesbians I know are extremely spiritual.  Most of them are not practicing Christians because of the bigotry in the faith against homosexuality.  But, we do believe in God because God doesn't hate.

    MISSY HIGGINS!

    I love Missy Higgins. I loved the instrument fight. Brings back the memories... Great vlog!

    Tegan: Everytime I see it, I just want to punch her in the face because I'm so excited for her.

    Oh I love this vlog

    *hums what what in the butt* You two had me rollin' when you started singin' that.

    You three were too much. That was hilarious! Two snaps for Troy!

    I'm sorry Jenn but Dee's right, it's all about the woodwinds. We add flavor to low brass noise.

    Big bands are only good for one thing, big shows. I'll take that superb small band with 50 players over the glamorus one with 500 any day.

    I'm 60% stud and 40% fem. I don't wear make-up but I use face wash. I loathe short skirts and dresses but I adore sarongs. I like to mis-match boy and girl clothes, I wear what works with my body. I talk like a sailor but I was brought up with manners and I know when to turn it off. I'll never own a purse but I rock a side bag. I'm a top but like Dee I'm for whatever happens. I can't think of label that would fit me. I'm just me.

    Great job to Zoe and Kayla for the awesome intro and the wonderful new banner.

    I can't say it enough but I really love this vlog.

    p.s Lovin' the boxers Jenn!

    I like the new intro.

    I really like your recaps on Work Out. That said, I don't actually watch the show itself. I mean I *tried* to watch it twice now but just can't. I DVR'd it and both times watched about 5 minutes...then ended up erasing it to leave room for something I actually wanted to watch.

    Despite not like the show Work Out I do enjoy both of you and will continue watch all your vlogs.

    Best quote was from Jenn: "Get my drawers off of AfterEllen!" hahaha

    Jenn and Dee--I look forward to this every week!

    Like other commenters have said, I don't even bother watching the show because b/w your vlog and Dara's recaps there is just no need! ar y'all e hilarious! 

    Dee--I feel you. My parents always left me alone because they figured that I was really focused on school. But I just graduated and the first thing every relative mentioned was...so, when do you start that family. Oh Lord, save me!

    I love, love, love the intro and banner! Great job Kayla and Zoe!

    Thank you for answering all those questions and letting us know more about yourselves. I love hearing about young black professional lesbians--visibility is key! 

    Can y'all do a black pride special CWMIYWTL (that's a lot of letters)? I definitely would be interested in your thoughts on the event and where I should go this summer.

    Oh and Sarah if you could arrange for all the AE vloggers to go down to ATL for pride...that would be AMAZING! Think of the fun coverage that could be had! I am volunteering my video camera services in advance! ;)

    Should be working

    Okay so I was definitely supposed to be finishing my thesis instead of watching this vlog, but I couldn't resist. Loved it! Thank you guys for talking about labels because now I can justify it as research for my thesis on Black Butch Lesbians. I'm like you Dee, I don't identify as Stud or femme. I've been called versatile before and I'm okay with that.

    Anyways Loved ever minute of it, Jenn can't wait to see your mom on here. Dee loved you throwing up the CT!

    Okay, so I'm from Baton Rouge...

    Two snaps for the Children

    Thanks for answering our questions. Troy, you are one of the coolest peeps around and a favorite guestboy on AE.com vblog. Jenn, agree with your take on labels. Dee, there are more womyn who are just like you in the LGBTQI community who aren't into labels. I give two snaps each for cool moms, bffs, cool marching bands, high school, smart lesbians, and Jenn's drawas on the world wide web.
    hugAnerd's picture

    I?

    OK, so I'm not the most plugged in. What does the "I" stand for? Inquisitive? Infuriating? Innocent? Intellectual? Indecent? Industrial...
    kazoocapital's picture

    Snaps.

    I'm in Connecticut right now and grew up in Auburn, so let's just say I'm feeling real plugged into this vlog.

    I don't watch that show either. I couldn't care less about Jackie Warner or Black Greg or White Greg or Asian Greg or Latino Greg. Just couldn't. But there's something about watching you re-cap it that just...yeah, it works. Sometimes I think it might be interesting to watch and actually know what the hell ya'll are talking about. But then I think all of the minutes I'd be wasting watching both the show AND your vlog. Not worth it.

    I'm digging the new banner and intro. And please bring Troy back!

    Wow, I managed an entire post without talking about the hotness that is Jenn.

    Wait...

    Two Snaps for Christianity

    Thanks so much for another great vlog.  I love the new banner!

    Dee, next time could you mention a few of the sources that you found during your research in regards to Christianity and homosexuality?

    Jenn, thanks for sharing your bff with all of us...cannot wait to see your mom on here!

    One more thing, I plan to go to Black pride in ATL Labor Day Weekend...would you ladies recommend one over the other (4th of July vs. Labor Day Weekend) ?

    quote from Smile_4_Me: Dee, next time could you mention a few of the sources that you found during your research in regards to Christianity and homosexuality? I am interested as well.

    I would also like to see Jenn's mother. And with the ATL Pride, I am planning to go but I am thinking of going during Labor Day Weekend. It will be my first pride. I am nervous because of the unknown.

    P.S: This is my first post ever. And Dee, you are cute. I like your personality so far. :) Anyways, (Jenn and Dee) both of you make me laugh a lot. Thanks.

    reply

    I actually reply to this message in the next vlog. Here is a website I found recently. No, it is not something I used when coming to terms with my religion and sexuality before, but I do find it interesting. I am still interested in learning more. It is a continuing journey.

    But hey this might help you a bit (I hope it does) http://www.twopaths.com/faq_homosexuality.htm

    But, what's all this talk about cats and dogs?  What do you have against bunnies?

    I love your show!  You two are so much fun.  I played the trombone a million years ago in Jr. High.  I'd probably smack one of you in the back of the head if we were in marching band together.  I'm very uncoordinated.

    ATLANTA PRIDE!!! ANYONE FROM ATL PLEASE HELP!

    I was thinking about attending Atlanta Pride for the 4th of July weekend, but I just wanted to know what particular events are the best ones to attend. I've never been to Atlanta so I'll be like a fish out of water. I've already did some research for flghts and hotels , but I'd also like to have an idea of how much spending cash I would need to take with me. YOUR ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

    Hmmm....

    I wasn't sure the vlog was working with Troy being on with you ladies...and it was a little busy with everyone talking at once sometimes but after the first 10 minutes I was hooked.  Troy with his sweet self was a wonderful addition.  Hopefully  you all will have him back soon.  Great vlog ladies.  Hope to see you in NYC.

    P.S. The opening and banner are awesome.

    Great Blog

    I just want to say that you guys are so funny, and this is by my favorite blog on Afterellen.com . I just wanted to send a shout out to Dee, you are so funny and cute. I don't even watch Work Out, but watch your vlog everyweek.

     

    P.S The new opening and banner match the show so well.

    Awesome Vlog

    I really love your vlog. Dee,Jen,and Troy...you're all really great:) Oh and woodwinds rule!!!:) Flute player representin. Hey Jen I listen to country music,too. I love Pasty Cline,Hank Williams Sr.,Johnny Cash,Loretta Young,Reba Mcyntire,and Wille Nelson:) ooh and The 5 Blind Boys of Alabama. Is it hard to meet or find other gay people to be friends with? Where I live there's not many that I know,and all of my friends are straight. It's kinda hard to relate to them,and we don't hang out as much as we used to.

    I don't even watch Work Out because it's way too ridiculous, but I watch the vlog because you guys are hilarious. I can't stop laughing the entire time.

    I like that Jenn didn't know Josh Groban but loves Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline.

    I don't think you guys get enough recognition on here. I think you are one, if not the funniest vlog on the site.

    I had a friend in band at University of Florida and they were super intense about it. I used to get scared when they had band parties. Ya'll are an intense group of people, but always knew how to have a good time.

    I ain't mad at 'cha.
