00:28:22,467 --> 00:28:25,470
and are trying to grow
in who they are as a man.

681
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,172
<i>You know, and I think today,</i>

682
00:28:27,239 --> 00:28:29,775
<i>it just brought us all</i>
<i>a little bit closer.</i>

683
00:28:29,841 --> 00:28:31,210
‐ How about you, Thomas?

684
00:28:32,978 --> 00:28:35,247
‐ I'd say since the moment
I met you, I‐‐

685
00:28:35,314 --> 00:28:37,549
it's just been a very up‐front

686
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:39,318
"what you see is what you get"
conversation,

687
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:42,054
and, like, I think
everything happens

688
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,855
the way
it's supposed to happen,

689
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:46,225
and this is one of them for me.

690
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:48,660
I couldn't sit here
and look you in the face

691
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:51,363
and say, "Yeah,
when I showed up to this place,

692
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:53,365
I was here
for the right reasons,"

693
00:28:53,432 --> 00:28:55,200
because I didn't know
who you were.

694
00:28:55,267 --> 00:28:58,036
And worst‐case scenario,
I give it a shot,

695
00:28:58,103 --> 00:29:00,672
and yeah, you could build
a great platform from it,

696
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,908
and that's just
the honest‐to‐God truth,

697
00:29:02,975 --> 00:29:04,576
like, my approach to this.

698
00:29:04,643 --> 00:29:07,145
And I could sit here
and tell you right now

699
00:29:07,212 --> 00:29:10,682
the best thing I ever did
was lean into the potential

700
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:12,517
of what could be here,

701
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:15,287
because the feelings
that I have for you are real,

702
00:29:15,354 --> 00:29:17,222
and I feel that's reciprocated.

703
00:29:17,289 --> 00:29:20,158
I mean, any red flag
that you wanna know,

704
00:29:20,225 --> 00:29:21,360
yeah, I'll tell you.

705
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,629
I'll tell you any secret
that I've ever had.

706
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:26,265
There's people who I've led on.

707
00:29:26,331 --> 00:29:29,201
I went on a date, like,
the week before I left

708
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:33,672
because, like I said,
I came in just not knowing.

709
00:29:33,739 --> 00:29:34,840
<i>‐ I was listening to Thomas.</i>

710
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:38,010
I didn't understand
what he was doing.

711
00:29:38,076 --> 00:29:40,679
‐ I sit here, and I look
at you, and I smile.

712
00:29:40,746 --> 00:29:43,415
‐ You compliment her,
and then you run over

713
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,150
all the things
we're supposed to talk about.

714
00:29:45,217 --> 00:29:47,653
‐ The reason why I'm smiling,
I get excited about that.

715
00:29:47,719 --> 00:29:50,489
‐ Like, how is he
possibly grinning

716
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:54,159
like a freaking clown
from a Stephen King novel,

717
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:55,594
<i>staring at her</i>
<i>right in the face</i>

718
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:58,330
<i>after all these heartfelt,</i>

719
00:29:58,397 --> 00:30:00,365
<i>really hard conversations</i>
<i>to have?</i>

720
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:02,401
None of it sat well with me.

721
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:04,136
‐ When you have just, like,
no expectation,

722
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:06,071
and you start seeing
something emerge on that,

723
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:07,339
and you're like, "Whoa."

724
00:30:07,406 --> 00:30:09,574
‐ The speech he gave
was like a sales pitch.

725
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:12,944
<i>I was like, "Who the [bleep]</i>
<i>is this guy?"</i>

726
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:21,286
‐ Thanks, Thomas.

727
00:30:21,353 --> 00:30:23,488
Well, Connor,
we're gonna end it with you.

728
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:26,358
‐ Okay.
[sniffles]

729
00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:28,226
Um, this is gonna be
really hard

730
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:29,761
for me to talk about.

731
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:32,230
Uh, pretty terrified right now,

732
00:30:32,297 --> 00:30:34,566
so thanks for bearing with me
together here.

733
00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:35,767
‐ Take a big breath.

734
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:37,569
‐ This is something I would've

735
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:40,005
shared with you in private,
but, you know.

736
00:30:40,072 --> 00:30:41,239
Um...

737
00:30:42,474 --> 00:30:44,576
I guess the reason
I wanna talk about it

738
00:30:44,643 --> 00:30:47,879
is because I do care about you,
Katie.

739
00:30:47,946 --> 00:30:49,414
I'm really a little terrified

740
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:51,316
of how much I care
about you already.

741
00:30:54,152 --> 00:30:55,687
This is gonna be tough.

742
00:30:57,622 --> 00:31:01,360
<i>It's just not a story</i>
<i>where I'm the good guy.</i>

743
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:04,062
<i>But I‐‐I guess I just hope</i>

744
00:31:04,129 --> 00:31:07,132
she's seen enough in me

745
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:08,834
to still trust me.

746
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:13,772
There was a time in my life

747
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:17,843
when I was maybe 24 or 25,

748
00:31:17,909 --> 00:31:20,679
and I was in grad school,

749
00:31:20,746 --> 00:31:22,114
and I was supposed
to get a PhD,

750
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:23,615
and I hated it,
and I was miserable,

751
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:27,319
and so I‐‐I dropped out.

752
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:30,389
And then I was working
as a musician full time,

753
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:33,492
uh, like, at a piano bar,
and I drank for free there,

754
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,694
and so I just...

755
00:31:37,429 --> 00:31:40,365
It‐‐it became more and more
of my life.

756
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:42,768
Uh, the drinking.

757
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,804
And I started to just

758
00:31:45,871 --> 00:31:49,408
get angrier and angrier
when I was drunk.

759
00:31:49,474 --> 00:31:53,111
Um, just get blackout drunk,
and my friends,

760
00:31:53,178 --> 00:31:54,346
the people I cared about,

761
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:55,881
and, like, my girlfriend
at the time

762
00:31:55,947 --> 00:31:57,349
would tell me things I said

763
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:59,384
when I was blackout drunk
that were just

764
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:01,953
cruel and hurtful and terrible,

765
00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:04,389
and I didn't even understand
[sniffles]

766
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:06,291
who the person was
that was saying those things

767
00:32:06,358 --> 00:32:08,293
or where it was coming from.

768
00:32:11,997 --> 00:32:15,667
And so it kind of all
culminated one night...

769
00:32:21,106 --> 00:32:23,341
So I got really, really drunk,

770
00:32:23,408 --> 00:32:27,412
and I picked a fight
with my girlfriend at the time,

771
00:32:27,479 --> 00:32:28,613
and then I went to a party,

772
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,049
and I got more drunk,
and I got high,

773
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:34,085
and I ended up cheating on her,
[sniffles]

774
00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:37,489
and kind of blowing up
my entire life

775
00:32:37,556 --> 00:32:39,624
in, like, one day.

776
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:45,864
And from there,

777
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:48,867
I read every self‐help book
I could find,

778
00:32:48,934 --> 00:32:50,469
I went to therapy,
I talked to family,

779
00:32:50,535 --> 00:32:52,103
I talked to friends.

780
00:32:52,170 --> 00:32:53,638
I tried to make amends
where I could,

781
00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:55,073
[voice breaking]
but I‐‐I really hurt somebody,

782
00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:59,077
and that‐‐I carried a lot
of guilt with that.

783
00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:03,381
And all I can say is that,
like,

784
00:33:03,448 --> 00:33:04,883
I don't recognize
who that person was,

785
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:06,117
and that's not me.

786
00:33:06,184 --> 00:33:08,420
And I used that
to become a better man,

787
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:11,289
and to become somebody
who deserves someone like you

788
00:33:11,356 --> 00:33:14,359
and who can stand up
and confidently say

789
00:33:14,426 --> 00:33:16,728
that they are a better person
in every way.

790
00:33:16,795 --> 00:33:18,930
<i>[sentimental music]</i>

791
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:21,233
‐ Thanks, Connor.
‐ Thanks for sharing, Connor.

792
00:33:23,435 --> 00:33:26,204
<i>‐ I did not expect to hear</i>
<i>a Connor B story.</i>

793
00:33:26,271 --> 00:33:29,074
Him opening up about his past
[sniffles]

794
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:30,976
just shows how serious
he's taking this.

795
00:33:31,042 --> 00:33:33,245
He's willing to be open
and vulnerable,

796
00:33:33,311 --> 00:33:35,580
<i>and, you know,</i>
<i>I think initially,</i>

797
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:37,849
<i>the guys were</i>
<i>a little nervous today,</i>

798
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:41,386
but slowly, they really
opened up about stuff

799
00:33:41,453 --> 00:33:43,321
that they didn't want
to talk about,

800
00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:46,258
<i>and I feel safe with them.</i>

801

[exhales]

802
00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:55,066
You guys have been great
at being open and vulnerable.

803
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,603
So I'm going to do the same.

804
00:34:00,605 --> 00:34:01,940
And what I'm gonna tell you,

805
00:34:02,007 --> 00:34:03,375
a lot of people
actually don't know,

806
00:34:03,441 --> 00:34:05,343
including my own mom.

807
00:34:07,245 --> 00:34:10,982
I know you see me today as this
very sex‐positive woman

808
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:13,285
who's very confident,

809
00:34:13,351 --> 00:34:16,121
but she hasn't
always been here.

810
00:34:18,423 --> 00:34:20,859
Ten years ago,
it was New Year's Eve.

811
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:24,329
And I had been drinking.

812
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:27,966
And...

813
00:34:29,501 --> 00:34:32,637
I was involved in a situation
where there wasn't consent.

814
00:34:34,873 --> 00:34:39,878
And that is not something
I wish upon anybody.

815
00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:46,184
And I was in denial
about what happened.

816
00:34:48,253 --> 00:34:53,124
So much so that I tried
to form a relationship with him

817
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:56,227
because I didn't wanna believe
what actually had happened.

818
00:34:57,562 --> 00:35:00,799
And when that didn't work out,

819
00:35:00,865 --> 00:35:02,100
for years I had a very

820
00:35:02,167 --> 00:35:04,302
unhealthy relationship
with sex.

821
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:09,274
I didn't want to have sex,
[sniffles]

822
00:35:09,341 --> 00:35:11,710
which affects the relationship.

823
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,145
I didn't like talking
about sex.

824
00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:21,219
And it's taken me a long time
to get to where I am now...

825
00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:23,021
[clears throat]

826
00:35:23,088 --> 00:35:27,158
In being open and comfortable
talking about it

827
00:35:27,225 --> 00:35:29,327
and loving myself

828
00:35:29,394 --> 00:35:32,364
and accepting things
that I can no longer control.

829
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:37,268
And I just want you guys
to know that

830
00:35:37,335 --> 00:35:43,308
I've come a long way
in who I was ten years ago,

831
00:35:43,375 --> 00:35:46,478
and how important consent is,

832
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:50,181
how important communication is,

833
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:55,186
and how important it is
to not guilt trip

834
00:35:55,253 --> 00:35:57,689
somebody for not
having enough sex with them,

835
00:35:57,756 --> 00:36:02,060
guilt trip them for not having
sex with them in general.

836
00:36:02,127 --> 00:36:04,763
And so that is something that‐‐

837
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:08,967
really big that has happened
in my life

838
00:36:09,034 --> 00:36:10,669
that in some ways
has really shaped me

839
00:36:10,735 --> 00:36:13,605
to who exactly I am today.
[sniffles]

840
00:36:13,672 --> 00:36:17,275
And so with you guys
sharing your stories,

841
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,911
I thought it was important
to share mine as well.

842
00:36:21,446 --> 00:36:23,548
all:
Thank you.

843
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:28,853
‐ Thanks, Katie.
I know that was really hard.

844
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,255
<i>‐ What I shared</i>
<i>with the group today</i>

845
00:36:30,321 --> 00:36:34,225
<i>is something I never</i>
<i>really talked about.</i>

846
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:37,529
For a long time,
I felt responsible

847
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,764
for being too drunk,

848
00:36:39,831 --> 00:36:43,368
