What's YOUR Problem? Episode 5

Bridget McManus joins actress and therapist Cathy DeBuono to answer questions from readers about age differences, emotional maturity, and how to figure out if you're gay.

    Veggies!

    Couldn't help but laugh at the whole chicken sandwhich segment :P Was funny how Bridget would just  suddenly get serious when you tell her to have a bite of your sandwhich :P I'm exactly the same with my friends due to being a vegetarian too, and the majority of my friends are all meat eaters :P

    Also I would just like to comment on how good your advise is, and how each of your answers to people's problems seem to be thought through and anaylzed carefully, but what do I know I have no clue when it comes to advice, but clearly you're "switched on" in that department :P

     Well anyway carry on with the Vlogs they're very entertaining! xx

    The song

    I'm new to afterellen.com, so I have been having a WONDERFUL time going through all the great Vlogs!  I keep coming back to this one, not only because Cathy and Bridget are two of my favorites, but it's that song at the end.  WHAT IS IT?  Which album of Janet Robin's is it on? Does anyone know?

    I love this episode

    Revenge of the Chicken Sandwich on Bridget was great,C. Keep your vlogs coming. Two thumbs way up!  

    You r pure sex Cathy,Bridget's lucky.

    googlyey63's picture

    That was GREAT!

    That was so entertaining. Bridget was a FANTASTIC  guest. She's so funny and was very sincere in her advice. You two looked like you had such a good time.

    I really want to see Bridget in that pleather jumpsuit!!

    Thanx Cathy. Once again you delivered a great time and you looked great doing it!!!!

    fearless?

    well, i'm not going to let fear stop me, but i feel it is slowing me down.

    what the duck am i going to do?!

    Amylin's picture

    Ah ah ah

    Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I can totally relate to the chicken sandwich part ;-) I loved the face Bridget had when she said "this is like abuse".

    Very clever and funny vlog, as always. Cathy you are one clever lady and you always have such great advice for each letters... thank you!

    Bridget you're crazy, so freaking crazy. <3 I think everybody except you knows why the AE girls accepted you in their group ;)

    Hot chicken sandwiches and therapy

    Bridget, why does everything with you end in a fight of some kind? A hot and sexy chicken sandwich fight, now I'm all hungry and tingly. That can't be a healthy response to a chicken sandwich.

    Cathy, I'm going to have to agree with Bridget. Pure Sex is a quite apropos moniker but I'm going all gray with my boundaries--Bridget is such a bad influence.

    Anyhoo I loved the vlog, as per usual. Thanks for always having great guests and for your insightful answers.

    PS (post script not pure sex) Your outfit was lovely, Bridget, but I'd wear about 175% less clothing when sitting beside PS (pure sex not post script).

    I love you guys - that was my fave vog of yours Cathy =D

    Thank you for being awesome....I had to laugh at Bridget when she was reading letter 2, I think it took like all of her willpower not to judge!  Well done Bridget you were supportive and helpful in the end!

    Still smiling

    What a joy you two women are. Absolutely wonderfull.

    I look forward to your vlog all week!

    I would like a chicken sandwich please

    Cathy can feed me any old sandwich any old place at any old time. Although I will say Bridgit's pleas of protestation were pretty funny. Hey Bridgit, I bet it was all better once Cathy got on top of you. LOL!

    These Cathy vlogs are so good. They're like my favorite show now!

    length

    what?! Waaay too short :-(
    dopedupdawl's picture

    re: length

    I hear that. I could've watched that for hours. :)

    bundria's picture

    i agree.

    i was hoping for one of those 50-min vlogs.

    Susi's picture

    That was awesome

    Just the perfect combination of insightful discussion and laughter. But 22 minutes felt a bit to short. But maybe that's just because I could sit and watch you ladies all day, and I probably would if I didn't have to get some school work done every once in a while. Anyways, thanks for another great vlog.

    I HUNTED A TACO LAST NIGHT

     THAT CHICKEN SANDWICH FIGHT WAS FUNNY

    CATHY AND BRIDGET ARE TWO FUNNY LADIES WITH SMOKIN HOT BODIES

    kiz's picture

    I could totally catch a chicken...

    ...but my main question is what is the music at the end? Great stuff! Not to detract, of course, from the wonderful vlog - I wish I'd had (or at least been aware) of a resource like this when I was coming out. It's so important to have someone tell you that it's OK and completely normal to be scared, but not to let that stop you just being who you are. So, bravo, ladies!

    And I could totally catch a chicken :-)

    "I hunted a taco" will have me laughing all day.

    And Bridget- always hilarious.

    I didn't know she was vegetarian!! Good for you girl! I had a friend shove a patty shaped thing that was once a cow in my face. Grrr, people have no respect for us animal lovers.

    This was a great episode, thanks girls! You are so funny!

    GREAT JOB LADIES...

    This vlog was great C.  It was very cool to see Bridget's serious side for a change.  I think Bridget is right about one thing...Cathy is pure sex.  While I don't know Bridget personally, from what I see, she seems like pure love.  Pure sex mixed with pure love...Hmmmmmm...

     

    Shout out to Lucia who is the coolest chick behind a camera!

    raven's picture

    Bridget finds her boundaries

    because of a Chicken sandwhich......all those years of therapy.....who knew.....Cathy you are a Genius !!!! 

    I sense that Comet is NOT into sharing.....uh huh...I heard her growls....and Winston shame on you for dissing your mama!!!

    Bridget I couldn't agree more....."why be scared when you can have this"

    I  LOVE Cathy's new nic name...PS  not to be confused with post script, past sins, or even Palm Springs...but Pure Sex!!! ............I don't get it??? ;)

    I'm gonna have to tune in next week if for no other reason then to see  who the guest is  AND just what oraface Cathy is gonna stick her finger in....I'm just sayin ;)

     This ep was a BLAST!!! Bridget is cute, funny, I think possibly a little ADHD....and did I mention cute??  Great info given on interesting topics.

    Boundaries! Boundaries!

    Boundaries! Boundaries! haha, that was awesome!

    Cathy and Bridget together, wow how cool is that?!

    You too are both so hot and funny and smart and a bunch of other good things, lol.

    Bridget is such a flirt! I'd love to hang out with her sometime :).

    I enjoyed every nano second of this vid, even the chicken sandwich part (I like Ms McManus am a vegetarian). I kept wanting to pause it and go get some food but I couldn't bring myself to do it, lol.

    Best of Cathy's vlogs so far, and that's sayin something!

    Bridget kills me every time :)

    My gf is 20 and I'm 27, we have so many problems because of this age gap but somehow it still works for us. If we ever break up I don't think I'll date a younger woman again, but I still find women of my age too serious for me...

    Maybe coz I've never met women like Bridget:)

    Anyway, The safe zone - got me thinking...

    Thanks for the vlog, you guys have great chemistry!

    Age...

    I'm 20 i'll be 21 in less than a month but i just recently dated a women who was 32.. i've never dated younger than me though they tend to only be 5-7 years older.. but this video got me thinking about why i go for older women... it might be the fact that i raised my self literally since i was 16 and have had some rather difficult or painful times so i have a different growth or something.. maybe it's the mother figure need.. i don't know but i know i need to figure that out now.

    thanks for the inverted insight.

    p.s bridget is hilarious

    Age

    I'm 19, and I recently dated a woman who was 42. I'm in the same boat as you, I always always always go for older...there's something about older women that is just so sexy. This video got me thinking too... probably because Cathy Debuono reminds me eerily of the woman I just dated lol - same laugh and everything. I'm definitely compelled to look deeper into my own attractions now too.

    Clonchi's picture

    For me

    it goes both ways actually... I'm (almost) 22, and I've dated girls that are either a couple years younger or a couple years older than me. I find older women attractive, because I think I'm a little bit more mature than most 21-year olds, so I can relate better "intellectually" to older women. But at the same time, I like to be the one who (as Cathy said on the vlog) teaches a younger girl things. I like that. I guess it just depends on who's right for you.

    Oddly enough, I don't think I'd date someone my own age, lol. at least it hasn't happened yet!

    Ruth's picture

    The whole vlog was great

    The whole vlog was great but I especially loved it when Bridget said, "My body, my choice!" at the end.

    Genius.

    Bridget Screaming

    Ok, I never thought that Bridget could scream like that (when Cathy was trying to feed her the sandwich). It was  the girliest scream ever! I don't know why I was so shocked, lol.

    The vlog was fantastic, as usual, and the advice was very helpful. I have also dated older women (I was 19 and she 31, next time she was 26 and I 21). I tend to like older women, but I'd love to date someone my age who is mature enough. I enjoyed dating the 26 year old, she didn't have so much baggage or issues with the age difference. I hate people who are so self- conscious. But the I dated someone younger and she was such a freak I don't know if I will ever again date someone younger. Age is not an issue for me, but the older women I date most of the time have a huge problem with it. Oh well.

    dbmjbe's picture

    there is no hope for the rest of us

    Look at all these beautiful, talented, afterellen vloggers, and look at how many of them are single...... if they can't catch a woman how are we little people supposed too...
