Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me?

Please tell me why.

Ooh, baby, welcome to another episode of Why Won't You Date Me, a podcast for me, Nino Cole Byer, was trying to figure out why I'm still single, even though you could come in a tray, let it harden, and tell me it is paper.

My guest today is a New York Times best-selling author, mental health advocate, and creator of the Substack, Emotional Support Lady.

I keep hearing about Substack and I don't know what it is.

You may know her from her long running podcast and YouTube channel just between us.

Her latest book, I Do, I Think, Conversations about Modern Marriage is out.

Now I'm excited to dive into the intersections of mental health and relationships. That was so smart. I obviously didn't write this. It's Allison Ruskin.

Woo.

Bo ba, bo ba, ba, da, da, da, da, da. Hi. Thank you for having me.

Thank you for doing this. First of all, what is this lip color?

I'm like, you know what? Okay, so when my book came out, I got to be on the news for about a minute and a half.

And that was very exciting. So I went to Sephora and was like, someone please help me. And I got this lip color there and they like they they were really helpful and

they paired me with like a berry lip and then this other lip gloss. And then in the bag they were like,

here's a free sample. And this is the free sample. What brand is it? Nars. I do like Nars.

It's very nice. They have a blush called Taj Mahal. That upon opening, you're like, this is

too orange. This looks sick as hell. But then you put it on and it's just like, oh, it's so good.

Yeah. And I'm not like a big makeup person on account of I don't know how to do it. But I do

love a bold lip. And I've never done this type before, this sort of like orangey nude, but I'm feeling it.

You're married.
