Younger Stars Spill Opinions on Loaded Love Questions

What's going on, guys? Hanging with me right now I have Miriam, Peter, and Charles from Younger. Hello.

Yay, hi, hi.

Hello, hello.

You're not that hard, come on. You're better at it than I am.

You guys, congratulations on season 6. It's insane, right? Sixth season.

Thank you.

It's totally insane. I feel like I've killed every other show I've been on. So, it's good that I was able to not murder this one to death. That we've survived the coffin nail.

Well, I know you guys can't share too much about season 6. So, we came up with some questions regarding love and relationships that kind of relate to the show. So, we're going to start with those. First one, do you think you can be in love with two people at one time?

Yes.

Yeah, of course.

It's gonna be a longer answer for this one.

Okay.

Yeah. I think that's a that that that's a very complicated question posing as a simple one. You can certainly be infatuated, you can be in love for a moment, but can you actually love somebody uh and give yourself I think that you can you can you can maybe love two people at the same time, but can you give yourself to two people? No. I I I I I don't think.

I beg to differ. But she didn't say give yourself to. She just said love.

I said hence a complicated question posing as a simple one.

I think. You you can you can love two people at one time. Yes. It's just uh yeah. That's it's about to go dirty. Watch.

You can see it on his face. You can see it on his face.

I wasn't going to say I was going to say you

No, it just has that sly smile. But there's always a tinged with dirty.

I mean, you have to define love, what kind of love. And then there's the expression of that love, and then it's how will it be received and will be judged or or or um the other person might have a certain standard or criteria.

But you have two parents, you love them. That's a type of love. And you don't divide or love one more than the other. Sometimes. So it's possible. It's clearly possible.

Okay. But I should have done is I should have defined the words in love.

You opened a damn giant can of worms with that one. This is the whole interview.

Do you think that it's possible to love two people at once? You have the microphone. What does that happen? Do you think so? Your pop holding for you.

Yeah. Um, yes and no. I think it is situational, maybe.

See, I'm trying I'm learning, I'm learning, which is why I'm asking the pros. Got it. Okay. You guys are on a show that kind of revolve around it, so I just want to know the opinions.

I think it could be situational. Of course you can love parents, friends. We are loving humans. I think we all have that. But in love like romantic love, I don't know. Society teaches us that it's usually just one, right? But I don't know. In experience and friends and stuff, I feel like it's really subjective.

Well, what's what's crazy is, what's crazy is, you can ask people who maybe have no experience with actually being truly in love or having really love or given over to one person, and they'll still have the idea or ideal of it. And but there aren't too many examples of what it is or what it looks like, and there's no one really to explain how they got there, but it's crazy that we still hold on to the idea and the ideal so strongly. But think about this, the name of this is Young Hollywood, right? And there is something that I think there is a I I don't mean this pejoratively, um in the sense of saying that I think that there is a

That's a big word.

that there that there is I don't mean this negatively in the sense that that there is that there is uh a youthful, possibly a somewhat youthful idea of love that um doesn't take into account what love becomes after, in my case, 15 years of marriage. Right? That is a and and I'm not so the word journey is so overused and it's so been it's so been so leached of its meaning. But it's absolutely a journey. It becomes something different. Um.

Well, can't you love two countries?

Um, yes, but you can't be in two countries at once.

Oh. Oh, okay. There you go. Okay.

whole line.

No. No. Exactly.

A whole line.

But the thing is is that and that is a and and and to take that journey. Um and and when I say it becomes something different, it becomes something uh I say better and deeper. Um different. Um and I think that to take that to try to take that journey with two people, um and so Miriam's line is now, can you travel with two people? Yes, you can travel with two people, but but um to to take exactly. But I think to actually to try to take that journey with two people. I I I yeah. It's like when Michael Jordan moved over to baseball, just wasn't the same. Stick with basketball. It wasn't the same.

You're right. Okay, just one love one. You're right.

And love as many as you want, but it's personal.

Lots of different opinions.

Yeah.

And love evolves.

Love evolves, yeah. Absolutely.

I think that's the conclusion to that, right?

And if there are any big words that Peter used, go to a dictionary, look them up. Educate yourself, Young Hollywood.

I do want to say our tagline is, it's not about age, it's about attitude.

Amen.

There you go.

And and I

Here's the next one. Do you have any tips for dating in a big city like New York?

Oh. I got tips. I'm a New Yorker. I've been living there for 25 years. I've dated a lot. Have I dated? I mean I've dated, okay? Let's not quantify it. I mean, I've dated.

It's gonna go off the octave now.

I mean, I've dated. Why's your voice going? So defensive. Wow, I'm a soprano now. Um yeah, so, okay, dating in a big city like New York. Here's what I'll say to people who are at the start of their dating life. I spent a lot of time, I've said this before, um giving credit to people who hadn't earned it yet. So if you're so if you're dating someone, you're like, you know, he's quiet, I bet he's a deep thinker. Or he's just not that bright. So let him show you he's a deep thinker before you decide he is. Let those think those qualities about yourself. You know, maybe I'm a deep thinker, or maybe I have a, you know, a lot to think about. And then let let that person prove it to you. That said, be open and don't have an ideal before you meet a person because they'll always surprise you. Look at Diana Trout's character on Younger and who she ends up with. She thought it was going to be this tall, handsome, brilliant man. But instead, it was and so the plumber who ended up being the right man for her.

Do you have any tips?

No, no. I'm not giving tips. I'll take tips, but I'm not I'm not giving tips. We'll talk after. We back in uh, I think 1850s, when when when I was dating. Um, it was little horsy and buggy.

With the yeah.

little horsy and buggy, when um, when it was called New Amsterdam in New York. Um, the um,

There was only 13 colonies.

Yeah, I wouldn't I have to say, I I would not um, I wouldn't know. A light just went out. Okay, God. That was like a signal. like stop stop and and your time's up, stop talking right now. Um, I I I wouldn't I think either it was complicated when I was doing it um and I wouldn't be able to manage it now. And I think that I wouldn't be able to man I I I am I get my feelings hurt way too easily to be able to sort of be negated on all of these little apps and comments and and I think that there is deep value to human interaction. Um, and and and I think that's and I think and I think that um, it's really and I think that's it's I I don't know if I'd survive all of the whatever you do with the thumbs down or the swipe either this way or that way and I and I'm not and I'm not being a physician. I I actually don't know which way it goes. Do you swipe left?

Why are you looking at me?

I swipe left. Okay. So anyway, but I think that I think that'll be very hard.

You always say one more thing.

Okay. Actually get out and meet real people, because there are apps and that's that is a great way to reach out and meet people, but but just like open yourself up to to meeting, you know, a person on the subway platform. Can I say one more tiny thing? Just be and also just be aware.

How are we on time? We're so good on time.

Be aware, be aware of how deeply infused the air is with messages about how love and romance and dating is supposed to go. You got to wait to say that. You decide who you like, not the media. Also, wear condoms.

Wear condoms.

Exactly. Always.

That is a very important tip. Definitely. Not just if you're having dinner. Because that's uncomfortable.

Oh this out. Every time you go out. Jimmy, got your condom on? Protected.

Yeah, mom.

Who? Why is Jimmy's mom so interested in his condoms?

Exactly.

God. Was that kid?

Jimmy, tell your mom to mind her own business.

Jimmy's mom's real protective.

Can you please describe season 6 in three facial expressions? You're going to throw them to camera for me and we're going to count down, okay? Three, two, one. Three, two, one. Oh.

I had to give a I had to make an O face. I had to make a sound. Oh.

Okay. Last one. Three, two, one.

There you guys have it. Watch Younger, season 6. Why would you want to miss these three? You don't. You don't. You don't. You want to invite us over for uh, dinner. That's what you want to do. See you at home.
