Show transcript
00:00
Let's welcome, stand up comedian Daniela Mora to Mitu Jay.
00:06
Thank you so much for having me guys.
00:08
I'm so excited to be here.
00:09
Thank you. You're so excited to have you queen.
00:12
First of all, thank you for your service because seriously,
00:17
I am done trying to pretend I actually want to be friends
00:20
with my ex. I'm done.
00:22
It's canceled. So I guess that leads me to my question
00:25
Are you friends with any exes?
00:27
I will say that I am friendly.
00:30
There is a lot of overlap sometimes where,
00:33
where I work and so some situations there have been times where
00:37
we do work together and so we kind of forcefully had to
00:41
become friends, but I would say like still hanging out on
00:45
a day to day texting,
00:47
sending memes like we were in a relationship like before,
00:50
I will not allow that.
00:51
I will refuse to answer just to really change the dynamic because
00:56
I feel like that's unfair.
00:57
Like if you don't want to get married,
00:59
you can't comment on a photo.
01:01
And what are the,
01:03
what do you think are the D Os and don't of a
01:05
breakup? Like is there like a no contact thing or
01:11
I feel like it kind of depends how it ended in
01:15
something recently where I did make this video kind of how it
01:18
ended. Like, he didn't really do anything like super wrong
01:22
Like there wasn't no,
01:23
there wasn't any cheating,
01:25
you know, it wasn't like we got in a huge fight
01:27
It was just kind of more so like,
01:28
I don't think this is working out right now.
01:30
So like, let's put this to rest.
01:32
I think you always need to have like a no contact period
01:35
even if it's for like two weeks or like months,
01:37
but you need some time to like cool down the feelings and
01:40
emotions just because if I saw this guy like two weeks ago
01:44
I would have been like,
01:44
I love you. Let me like,
01:45
suck your earlobe. Like I would have been really in love
01:50
with the guy, you know.
01:51
So you definitely need a no contact.
01:54
I'm a huge fan of muting anybody that I've ever hugged.
01:58
I think the muting important just because you don't really want to
02:01
see it. It's just too much,
02:03
you know, I don't want to see what they're doing and
02:05
I'm like, who's in the back of that photo and it's
02:07
his aunt, you know,
02:08
like then I'll start spiraling.
02:10
So I think kind of out of sight,
02:12
out of mind is my best way to go.
02:15
I like that and I think muting is safe like,
02:17
it's not cutting them off completely.
02:20
Like I can come back when I want to,
02:22
when I'm ready to.
02:24
But the power is in my hands because I'm not going to
02:27
give them the, I'm not going to give them the attention
02:30
It's more so for you though.
02:31
Right? Like, it's not really like,
02:33
oh, I'm going to mute you because,
02:36
but it's for myself,
02:38
it's nothing personal. I know earlier you were like,
02:41
oh, you kind of had to keep relationships going with people
02:45
you've had things with because you kind of worked with them.
02:47
How about dating someone in a friend group or like your building
02:52
I went out with someone in my apartment building like two
02:55
years ago and, you know,
02:57
we had nothing in common but the building's common space.
03:00
Like we, I did not know this man.
03:04
We were talking about the Amazon packages being sorted.
03:07
Like it was like bizarre.
03:09
Definitely awkward. I wouldn't say it's not the worst thing to
03:12
do. I think a friend group are working together has like
03:14
more stake in it,
03:15
but running into them,
03:17
you know, in the lobby is also never pleasant.
03:20
So definitely it's gonna be a little more picky going forward.
03:26
And,, so it's,
03:27
it's when Harry met Sally season,
03:29
do you think single men and women can be friends?
03:33
I want to say,
03:34
yeah, I do think so.
03:36
I do have a lot of guy friends.
03:38
I think that there's definitely limits like,
03:41
there are some guy friends that I have,
03:43
like, flirty stuff with,
03:45
you know, and maybe there's like,
03:47
a little bit more than there than a friend.
03:49
But like that either has been explored and that didn't land well
03:54
or, like, that's just a bit too much.
03:56
I do think guys and girls could be friends though.
03:58
It's not nearly what female friendships are though.
04:03
Like, I call my girlfriends all the time.
04:05
I can't call my guy friend.
04:07
Good morning. Like,
04:08
that would be scary if I'd want to get him pregnant.
04:13
But yeah, I do think it's possible with some boundaries and
04:17
probably like a roster.
04:19
Oh my gosh. I just want to have a roster so
04:23
I can do that so much,
04:25
so much work. It's a lot of work,
04:27
but it wouldn't make me better at just staying friends with people
04:30
because I wouldn't have to worry about,
04:32
you know, stability.
04:34
I know. Yeah,
04:35
I can't be like,
04:36
doing a draft every week.
04:37
Like, I barely know where my socks are.
04:39
I'm not going to be like,
04:40
where's Sam? Like,
04:41
I don't not care enough.
04:44
So it is October,
04:45
which means we're in Spooky season.
04:47
Do you have a favorite ghost story?
04:50
You know, ghosting,
04:51
ghosting story. I'm kind of a fan of the Mutual Ghost
04:56
I do like,
04:57
if we are both kind of ghosting.
05:01
there was like maybe two years ago I was talking
05:03
to this guy and I was still down to go out.
05:07
and I remember that he just kind of never hit
05:08
me back up again.
05:10
And for the first time ever,
05:11
I was like, Bride and I had dignity then and I
05:16
didn't hit him up and we kind of just mutually faded out
05:20
And of course,
05:21
I ran into him recently and he was like,
05:23
let's get drinks and I was like,
05:24
who is this? But,
05:26
I mean, most people that I've ended things with have been
05:31
it's been like a fade out more than a ghost because
05:34
like, we know that we're alive,
05:35
maybe they'll like, swipe up later and it just kind of
05:37
like, slowly died or like they've said like,
05:40
hey, I don't like you that much and I'm like,
05:43
I would have preferred the other ghost.
05:45
I just would have preferred a full ghost act like he died
05:49
Like I got hit by a car but I'm still active
05:52
on Instagram. You know,
05:53
that's why I prefer that lie.
05:56
I agree. Like,
05:57
actually I used to like ghosting in the scary.
06:00
But you're right, I'd rather that than you just,
06:04
there's just no words you were interested and that's it.
06:06
Yeah, just, I like the music will fade out.
06:10
Yeah. And then,
06:12
you know, guys,
06:13
I feel like should lead it.
06:14
So I don't mind like,
06:16
if they're not planning to do stuff,
06:18
I'm just like, yeah,
06:19
that's it. I guess that's the end of this.
06:22
Yeah, I was like,
06:23
I got it, babe,
06:24
but still down probably,
06:26
but I got it.
06:28
Well, thank you so,
06:29
so much for joining us,
06:31

06:33
Of course. I'm on Instagram,
06:36
Daniella Mora one, Daniel am or a number one.
06:43
I'm on tiktok. It's spelled differently.
06:45
It is D A Nyell A 5000.
06:51
It's a very niche one.
06:52

06:54
