47:26I mean yeah you smile and nod and ask questions and it works
47:28I could never come out swinging . . I don't have enough loofahs
47:36of course no offense meant but if you're too hot as a woman into a niche hobby, my griftdar goes off. Not saying it's every time but it's in the back of my mind.

48:10people enjoy speaking from a position of greater experience
48:12sometimes "excuse me, who the fuck are you?" is warranted
48:12It’s about the vibes. If vibes are bad then gatekeeping starts
