Emily Gordon (The Indoor Kids, The Meltdown Show) stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about all sorts of things including growing up in North Carolina, meeting her husband Kumail Nanjiani, relationships, their secret wedding, being in a coma, working with schizophrenics, working with comics, leaving her therapy practice, writing, body image, Tavi Gevinson and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs from the episode.)

fantastic pod guys ! Emily was as fab as her hubby. Alison – you are truly emerging as the zen master of the pod interview. Having guests like Emily on your podcast is like a tootsie-pop, funny and sweet on the outside, with a gooey center of awesome awareness about people and families dealing with mental illness. Folks like Emily can use humor and on the subject is a really effective way. People with mental illness really need people around them who take the time to understand their illness, without losing their sense of humor – which is sometimes the only thing that prevents people with mental illness from hurting themselves or others 😉 …. Also, I just need to say one tiny thing about ACP – wtf about the Monday guest. It's not like the only weird guest he's had, but she was not only poorly informed on the topic she wanted to rant on (Marine biology and captive programs)… but she was just plain old irritating shrew – SO GLAD I took the time to listen to this right on the heels of that annoying pod. It takes a lot to trump Adam, so I guess that is an accomplishment LOL

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeenty of us use pads, girls. Come on, now. Don't be mean.
They are super duper thin now (but super absorbent!). Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but tampons don't work for everyone for various reasons (medical, psychological, religious – I know, I know – and so on).
Not gonna overshare anymore at this point…..

Religious reasons? Are tampons non-kosher?
Some people believe any sort of penetration of the vagina = loss of virginity. Some people believe loss of virginity, for any reason other than religiously sanctioned marriage = offense that results in capital punishment and/or loss of religious rewards/status.
There are also various combos and degrees of the above beliefs.
It ain't pretty, but it's out there….

I cannot use tampons. There is a nerve called the vagus nerve which extends from your brain stem down to your tailbone. It if often called the “fainting nerve” because it is the nerve that causes people to feel faint when they see blood, get shots, or get piercings. Everyone's vagus nerve is in a slightly different position, and because of my hooked tailbone, the nerve is located at the exact place where a tampon would rest. Every time I try to use one I experience all of the fainting symptoms (nausea, dizziness, tunnel vision, heat) so I have to wear pads.

I had no idea that tampons would fall under avoiding penetration of the vagina foar religious reasons! That's a real thing?
