R I V E R I'll workshop one. You never know, maybe I'll get into it. Discover something new about myself.

[naima bell]

Nai i'm on standby for ratings. another green flag, comfortable with your masculinity and sexuality. can you stop collecting flags and give other men a chance?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Isn't everyone like this? Actually obviously not. Tell me a dating horror story.

[naima bell]

Nai no, river. be the change, fix your demographic. i can't be your sole dating entertainment!

[river hawkins]

R I V E R They are too far gone. OK entertain me with something else. What have you been listening to on repeat lately?

[naima bell]

Nai i've been on a clubby poppy playlist lately with TSHA, adéla, shygirl, jade. one song, specifically, is 'immaculate' by shygirl ft saweetie. obsessed. i haven't transitioned into a chill girly playlist yet but working on it. you probably got so sick of my music haha.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Noo, I'm still listening to encore by Shygirl, what a song. Beats my usual 90s alternative.

[naima bell]

Nai k rank these songs by how easily they can get you dancing or singing: - cha cha slide - sweet caroline - mr brightside - bohemian rhapsody - don't stop believin - stacy's mom

[river hawkins]

R I V E R The only dancing I do is head nodding, but here you go: - sweet caroline - stacy's mom - bohemian rhapsody - don't stop believin - mr brightside - cha cha slide All great options. Are you a wedding DJ in your spare time?

[naima bell]

Nai the usual wedding and karaoke songs, they're irresistible to white people. i just noticed it looks like i have no fingers on my hand and i can't unsee it!

[river hawkins]

R I V E R You forgot ABBA. Get a glass of chardonnay in my mom, put Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie on and you'll never see a happier woman... in fact I'll do just that later today. Hahaha oh my god yeah, now you say it, it does. Fuck that's tripped me out.

[naima bell]

Nai at the last second i left out dancing queen, you're so right. fixedd but classic question: would you still like me if i only had one hand?

[river hawkins]

=

R I V E R Yeah, of course. Let's keep going - would you like me if I was in a wheelchair?

[naima bell]

Nai of course. ok straight to the kicker - if i was a worm?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Sorry Nai, that's strictly girlfriend territory. I'm not getting into a situationship with a worm.
