Christina P says she is single after separating from Tom Segura
The Your Mom's House host walked through the split in her own words on episode 879 with guest Sara Weinshenk.
Christina P is single after separating from Tom Segura, and she talked about it on Your Mom's House Ep. 879 with guest Sara Weinshenk.
The episode is built around the swap. Weinshenk is a fellow San Fernando Valley native who has been dating a single dad with two kids for three years and is moving to Austin, while Christina is now on the other side of a marriage. Christina's line for it was blunt. "We've switched places."
The $200 marriage
The detail that lands hardest is the money, or the lack of it. Christina said that when she and Tom got together they had two hundred dollars between them, and she wanted that on the record. "Tom and I had $200 between us. I did not marry for money. I married for love."
Tom and I had $200 between us. I did not marry for money. I married for love.
She also described a Kona trip she took during the separation, and how the flight went. "I get on a plane and I'm just drinking the whole way."
The fart seal theory
Then there is the bit. Talking about what she calls the fart seal in relationships, the moment the mystery dies, Christina floated the idea that farting in front of Tom early on may have been the beginning of the end. "Maybe I was the my own demise," she said. She is joking. Mostly.
The rest of the episode is standard YMH territory, which is to say it goes everywhere. Christina on getting on Lexapro, which she says did not happen until she had a kid. Her words on what it did for her, "It gave me a life vest when I was drowning." Weinshenk says she is up to 50 milligrams of Prozac. There is a stretch on bathroom habits where Weinshenk admits that three years into the relationship she is "taking shits in Taco Bell still." There is a stretch on boys versus girls, with Weinshenk's verdict on sons, "They piss all over the place."
Christina also hit the part of motherhood that nobody puts on a mug, saying she is ten years into the mom game and somebody is always needing her and she cannot get away for five minutes.
The real story is that Christina has been circling this on the show for a while, including the earlier divorce diet talk on episode 878, and this is the first time she has laid out the split and the money and the Kona flight in her own words.
She plugged Wiseguys Comedy Club in Salt Lake City on October 9th and 10th. Weinshenk plugged her podcast Shank.
