Of course, talking February, the good old days, 32 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: the good old days, Oh my god, do you remember February? No, 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was incredible.

Yes, I mean, you do have that 36 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: very famous part of one of our early episodes, which 37 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: has now been sampled in many pop songs, where you 38 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: talk about how you think Bernie is gonna win and 39 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: uh and and we're and you say, we're not going 40 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: to go back to normal because normal was already bad. 41 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna have in you normally and it's gonna be good. 42 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: And also chromatic is going to be good. And then 43 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, only one of those things came true. Yeah, 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: only one of those things came true. Chromatica is good. 45 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: But I would also argue that I was half right 46 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: in that there would be a new normal. I just 47 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: didn't know that new normal would actually be much worse 48 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: than normal normal. Yeah, and I mean it's true, that's true. 49 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: So I was about to make it very Yeah. No, 50 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: I guess you were a hundred percent right ultimately. Okay, 51 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: So I don't know if our listeners can tell, but 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: we had talked before this, and we said we're going 53 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: to attempt to be more mellow this episode. I don't 54 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: think I I just okay if I can, I don't 55 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: think I could talk.

Okay, 138 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: got it that. Well, you know, the personal is political, 139 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: and in many ways, what's going on in politics is 140 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: directly influencing the fact that I personally feel in secure 141 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: about being funny. We just don't say anything. We just 142 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: end the past. I actually I said I had one 143 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: thing to drag you up, but I I actually have to, Well, no, 144 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: one thing is a question. I want you to give 145 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: me a full kind of journey or actually, no, what 146 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting at is your electric pink headphones? Yes, now 147 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: tell me this story there. There is actually an extremely 148 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: simple story here, George, which is that I got a 149 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: new Apple laptop in perhaps when they were doing a promotion, 150 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: I assume, because they could not sell these headphones, and 151 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: you got the headphones for free, and so that is 152 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: why I own these headphones. Oh and you could only 153 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: get the pink ones for free. No I chose pink. Wow, George, 154 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: is this are you limiting? Yes? I'm actually and and 155 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: I would like you to answer to it and explain 156 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: to me why you bought pink headphones. Here's the thing, 157 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. Jess, do you not 158 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: do you? I think of you as as more. I 159 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: would say this is regardless of gender. More maybe a 160 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: punk rock vibe that isn't that doesn't necessarily go with 161 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: a millennial pink Would you say that's accurate? Um? I 162 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: think that that is such a generous reading of me. 163 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: And it does mean that the deception that I've been 164 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: pulling is absolutely working on everybody.

Um. 171 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: And it is blowing my mind a little bit too 172 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: to be talking to a gay man about why I 173 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: I why I think it's okay for boys tore pink. Yeah, well, 174 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean in our first segment, we always try to 175 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: immediately question people about why they're about whether or not 176 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: their gender identity matches their gender expression via product purchases. 177 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: That's why I came here today because I specifically seek 178 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: this interrogation. Okay, good. And then the other thing I 179 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you about is And this is 180 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: something that interests me is that I know that today 181 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: you woke up at three pm. And as someone who 182 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: has very weird sleeping habits, I want you to walk 183 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: me through how quarantine has been for you. As someone 184 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: who maybe I'm maybe I'm projecting, but is a night person. 185 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: I am a night person. I have gone absolutely vampire, 186 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: um like, literally nocturnal. Like the fact that I was 187 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 1: awake at three pm is is very good for me. 188 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: That means that I see several hours of daylight. That 189 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: is like entering on normalcy for me. Um at the 190 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: darkest of time in quarantine, I have gotten up at 191 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: eight nine pm wow wow yeah, and then done something 192 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: absolutely insane like uh fried chicken wings throughout the night 193 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: before going to bed again at seven or eight am. 194 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: WHOA do you have roommates? I do have roommates, and 195 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um, well they're straight, so I don't care 196 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: what they think. You have straight roommates. I do have 197 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: straight roommates. Isn't that? Isn't that a thing? I'm extremely 198 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: open minded and I have experience. No, I know, nobody 199 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: would expect that of me because I'm constantly talking on them, 200 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: not my specific roommates, just like the genre of straight people. 201 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: And yeah, so so how many if you don't mind 202 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: me asking straight roommates? Do you have two roommates A couple? 203 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: In fact, I am I'm the Yes, I am the 204 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: gay teen ward of a straight couple in Queens was 205 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: kind of queer. Now it's very it's very chosen family. 206 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes they make too much food and I get to 207 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: eat it. That is the role that I play in 208 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: every single household I'm in is like teen boy who 209 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: needs to be fed, and people feed me they do. Yeah, well, 210 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: teen boy is the most powerful gender. I think so. Yeah, 211 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: I think so. And I think a straight couple with 212 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: a queer roommate is actually the most queer possible relationship 213 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: dynamic I can think of. It's Um, I will say 214 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: that they I don't think that they're no offense. I 215 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to listen to this podcast episode, 216 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: so I think it's fair for me to say that 217 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: I have at least, UM, don't tell these great people 218 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: my secrets. Um. But UM, I I do think that 219 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm in the best uh scenario possible for this, and 220 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: I will get close to the mic and whisper this. 221 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: I have never heard them have sex, but I hear them. 222 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: I hear them laugh a lot all the time. They 223 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: laughed together all the time, so they're in like a happy, 224 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: good relationship. But I've never heard them of sex, So 225 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: I'm delighted. Dynamic. Do you think straight people have sex? Um? 226 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: I think that whatever they do, it's not called sex. 227 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: They wonder. Yeah, maybe it's like it's like, um, I 228 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: feel like it's kind of like going in turns and 229 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: then being like, wait, have you seen this YouTube video? Yeah? Yeah, 230 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: YouTube is like definitely sex for straight people if you like, 231 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like I had that phase in 232 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: my life and like sometimes going through YouTube with someone 233 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: is the most intimate thing you can do. Sam like 234 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: wishes he was straight. Okay, shut up, No, I don't. 235 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: I never said that. It's just it's not well, although 236 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: I do say it seems really hard to be a 237 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: gay man. Um wow, yeah, yeah that is Thank you, 238 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: thank you so much for to bring that up, because 239 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: that is so true, and we're always saying that we are. 240 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: We in fact, we try to bring in guests that 241 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: aren't gay men, that are in fact belong to other 242 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: parts of the queer community so that we can explain 243 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: to them why it's so difficult to be a white 244 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: gay man. Do you have it the hardest? And yeah, yeah, 245 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: well that's why there's so many movies about us, because 246 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: we have it so bad. I will say that bits aside, 247 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: I do think that white gay men are the most 248 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: miserable of them all. Do you know what that's in 249 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: what sense? Sort of like how like, yeah, what I 250 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: would think because they are they are so close to hedgemonic. 251 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: It's like to be close and yet so far away, 252 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: like you will never even the most even if you're 253 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: like a gay Republican, you know, in like a monogamous 254 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: relationship with another gay Republican, Like you're so close to 255 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: being it, and you're just it's the depths of betrayal. 256 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: You've experienced a horrible betrayal. If you have like other 257 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: axes of oppression, if you're a woman or a trans 258 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: person or a person of color, you already are like, okay, 259 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm already this like other thing.

I mean, I really 282 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: think because of so many different forces that coalesced by 283 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: happenstance around June, like truly it is, the downfall of 284 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: pride is such a weird, like random consequence of all 285 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: of this, you know what I mean. It's like so unexpected. 286 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: But like what if literally pride as we know it, 287 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: as we have known it, let's say, over the past, 288 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twenty years, however long it's been like 289 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: sponsored by master Card.

I'm kind of 291 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: delighted to have a very legitimate reason not to be 292 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: walking around in Manhattan right now, like looking at a 293 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: rainbow display at Keels. I know, yeah, no, it is. 294 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: It is true, Jess.

Well you know, 301 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: and you know what, I am one of those people, 302 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: and I absolutely agree that I am garbage and you 303 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: should just spit on my face through zoom.

Anyway, My point is I have this very 320 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean truly my first experiences of pride because I 321 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: went to high school in a different country and then 322 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: because I didn't go when I was in college. But 323 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: my first appearance of pride are literally Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Uh, 324 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: you know, before I was own by Facebook, like literally 325 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: one tech company after another in rainbow floats, Like, ah, 326 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: that's so sad like that that was my first image 327 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: of it. And then I went back and learned like 328 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: the history of it much later. Isn't that sad? Yeah? 329 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: It's completely sad, um, absolutely tragic. Were you so? Were 330 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: you gay already when you got to ask off? Yeah? 331 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: You know I came out maybe like freshman year of college, 332 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: but like you know, I and actually, you know what, 333 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: that's that's why I went to Pribabe during college, and 334 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: in fact I remember, so I feel like dike Mars 335 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: and San Francisco still has, or at least had. You know, however, 336 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: many years ago I lived there, some kind of independent 337 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: spirit compared to the normal, compared to that, that's true 338 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: everywhere dike March is always sort of its own thing. Yeah, 339 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: so I did have that perience of being like, well, 340 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: this feels different than you know, um, Winter Gordon, God 341 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: bless her performing like on a float that's, you know, 342 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: sponsored by Visa. I don't know who that is. I 343 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: don't know she's a I mean, listen, she's a very 344 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: good singer, angel or something. You mean the Beyonce song, Yeah, 345 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: it's Beyonce. Wow, everybody has done the same thing as Beyonce, 346 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: but worse. Julia Roberts, Winter Gordon, who's next? Um, I 347 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, if we're doing our first Pride experiences 348 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: as a roundtable. I went to Chicago Pride when I 349 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: was like closeted still, like definitely being like I'm just 350 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: gonna go downtown, like see what it's all about. And 351 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: it was like so lame. It was about drinking in 352 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: the streets and getting unscreen applied to you by nameless 353 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: bears and wow, even that even when you were closeted. Yeah, well, 354 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: life finds a way. A closeted boy can get sunburned, 355 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: so things, But once you come out, it does get 356 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: more dangerous. That was actually something I and I don't 357 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: know if I should be saving this for later, but 358 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: one of the points I was going to make for 359 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: Pride as Straight was that gay people shouldn't be out 360 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: in the sun. Oh well, you know, it's funny. I 361 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: was so ready to agree with you. I was ready 362 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: to agree with you, but actually find that I disagree. 363 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: I have to disagree. Maybe this is one of those 364 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: classic divides between white gay men and the rest of 365 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: the queer community. I was I was going to say, 366 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: what are your disagreements, white men? Tell me? Um, I 367 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: guess like, in my mind, beaches are gay. My mind, 368 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: beaches are gay. Just are like the the ascent chuill 369 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: gay outing or I think of like a big gay 370 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: birthday party at a park. Yeah, I do agree. I 371 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: definitely agree that beaches are gay and gay birthday in 372 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: the park is gay. But you know what should not 373 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: be gay as melanoma. Yeah, no, melanoma, even though it 374 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: does sound like a drag name should not be gay. No, 375 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: if we know what's good for us, vitamin D, gay, 376 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: vitamin D and melanoma. Again, the two hosts of the 377 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: weekly Drag Night at the Cock. Uh. You know, if 378 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: we're talking right now about what is gay and what 379 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: is not, I kind of feel like that's weirdly a 380 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: natural segue into our very first segment. And what's crazy 381 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: about this podcast is we are never natural in our segways, 382 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: actually actively unnatural, but artificial. I think our chillum, our 383 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: commitment to being chilled. This episode is you know, breathing 384 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: new life into our little zoom podcast. It's all happening. 385 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: It's like we're in that Disney World ride where you're 386 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: where you go around that river. It's like that disney 387 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: World ride where you go around that river. That's actually 388 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: several Disney rides.

That's 417 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: a really good number, less than half. Okay, Well, what's 418 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: it's sort of like? Um? Uh is it golf or 419 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: you want a low score? This is exactly like Golf's 420 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: not like it's not like a glass half full of doves. No, 421 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: there's no glass, just doves. That's good. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. 422 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: I'll take it. I love to numerically well, yeah, I mean, 423 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: if there's one thing white gay men are good at, 424 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: it's rating people numerically. Numerically of course, of course, but 425 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: not knowing math and refusing to learn yeah without the other. Yeah, yeah, 426 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: no exactly. Has a gay man ever learned anything? That 427 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: is the question, isn't it. Yeah? Well, gay men have 428 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: always done things like management training programs and things like that. 429 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: And I feel like you can learn things there. I 430 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: feel like we all start as babies, and a baby 431 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: inherently learned some million things a day. Yeah. So you 432 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: learned like a base like, yeah, well, do gay men 433 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: have object permanence? I don't know. That's a good question, actually, 434 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: but I do think the way white gay men are 435 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: created is that babies attend to management training program. Yeah. 436 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean I definitely haven't learned anything since I've come out. No, no, yeah, yeah, 437 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: that's as important to wait as long as possible. Yeah, 438 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: which is why I you know, I'll be nineteen is 439 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: forever somewhere between nineteen and now, just as a teen boy? 440 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: How do you respond? Um, that's too bad. That's a 441 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: hot age to be because you know, if I have 442 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: to stop when I came out and if we're going 443 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: to go by like the first time, I have to 444 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: stop at like thirteen, which is not fun because you 445 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: can't like have sacks or like really like do drugs 446 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: or anything that fun. Like you can do it, but 447 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: it's not it's frowned upon. Yeah, it's not as chill. 448 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: It's not chill like this podcast up totally. I know 449 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: you have to be at least fourteen to do drugs. 450 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: People have questions about it. They're like, are you sure right? 451 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: So you came out when you were thirteen? Pretty much 452 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: you really are that's like a gay. Yeah, I'm I'm 453 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: classically an old, old, old queer person, which is why 454 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm so annoyed at the time. Yeah, I mean they're 455 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: really like this stuff is not like new and fun 456 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: to me anymore. Nothing. I'm tired. I'm tired. I mean, 457 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: I think that's also probably why we feel a little 458 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: bit of the relief of um traditional Pride not existing 459 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: right now. Absolutely. I usually get so mad during Pride season, 460 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: Like I spend the entire month of June just tense 461 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: in a rage. I haven't been I sorry, I not. 462 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I haven't been to like a I don't want to 463 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: say traditional because that's wrong, but I haven't been to 464 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: like an official sanctioned Pride event in many years. Oh no, no, 465 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: me neither. So now to me, it's just a thing 466 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: that blocks the street. Yeah yeah, I can't get over there, 467 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: and it's a thing. Well, and this is personal. My 468 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: birthday is always on Pride weekend, and so it's like 469 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: a thing that's always in the way of my birthday. 470 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,959 Speaker 1: Like last year, my birthday was on Pride and I 471 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: was like, I just want to like go to the 472 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: beach and have my friends come. But everyone's gonna be like, oh, 473 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: so you just think you own problems like and I'm like, no, 474 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: it's just my birthday and I'm just trying to have 475 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: a blast. Like I mean, the biggest gift you can 476 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: give to people is to give them counter programming for 477 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: the for Pride, because that's what everyone wants, like all 478 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: people want. Obviously, I'm not going to just like stay 479 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: at home seething, like I want to do something if 480 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: it's the official day of Pride, that's true. I do 481 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: like Pride as a day where it's like, go do something, like, 482 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: go have fun. One time, my parents were at Amsterdam Pride, 483 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: just like coincidentally they happened to be there and Pride 484 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: was going on, and the one thing that really scandalized 485 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: my mom was that someone was peeing in the river. 486 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: That's the best place to pee. I know, moves, it 487 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: moves away. It's gone, Like by the time you're mad 488 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: about it, it's already gone. Yeah, I do think. Yeah, 489 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: maybe just the fact that it was like a full 490 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: I mean everyone was out. There was like a full parade. 491 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: There were like boats and so when you imagine then 492 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: someone kind of like pulling out his giant cock and 493 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: peeing in in that environment, then maybe I could see 494 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: that being offensive to a mom. Sure, via someone's giant cock. Yeah, 495 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: that's right. If you're a mom and you don't like cock, 496 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: get out of here. What the hell are you doing here? Right? 497 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: How are you to become a mom? And how did 498 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: you find our podcast? Stop? Literally? Our podcast is from 499 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: moms who love cock. Like, if you're a mom and 500 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: you're listening to pod, like, go check on your children, Like, yes, 501 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: stop talking about cock all the time, and go check 502 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: on your kids. You have literally six kids and they're 503 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: all six tuplets, and you have options. Now you're trapped 504 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: at home with them. You need to go check on them. 505 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: This is not your night out, Jess, Where do you 506 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: stand on children? Written? Where do I stand on children? Um? 507 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: I think they're Um. I give them like a six 508 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: point five you know what. That's exactly what I would 509 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: give them. Yeah, I mean more than half. Yeah, that 510 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: that's like how I feel. I feel like marginally positive 511 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: about them. Totally. I'm like, don't get rid of them, Like, 512 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: if they're there, don't get rid of them. But I 513 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: don't see why, like I don't need more. Yeah, I'm 514 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: trying to think of a good met a good metaphor 515 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: for like, it's like when there's like a selection of 516 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: salsas for chips, and there's always one where it's like, yeah, 517 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: I'll dip, I'll dip into that one, like twice. I'm 518 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: not mad it's there, but like it is not a 519 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: main one. It's not Salts of Verity, and it's not Chipotle. No. 520 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking of what you said earlier about how 521 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: you had gotten upon me and you had to get 522 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: a bubble tea to make it over the limit. It's 523 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: sort of like, yeah, I'm like if if, if, if 524 00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: you have to, fine, I'm not going to have kids. 525 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: What I'm saying, I'm not going to have kids. Yeah, 526 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: I would be really surprised if a child ever came 527 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: into my life. I mean, and if it did, I 528 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: would say, go off, queen, but I would be shocked 529 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: to see it in my life. That's and that's exactly 530 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: how I felt by my bubble tea. But you know what, 531 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: I did finish it. You're right, so maybe I shouldn't 532 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: go there yet. Who knows where this did? I mean, ultimately, listen, 533 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: there's no around this. I did get a stomach ache 534 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: because of the dairy. Um, George, I'm getting from this 535 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: that you just your whole life is getting different treats. Well, 536 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 1: you know what I have to say in these in 537 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: this in this climate, you know, Okay, this is interesting. 538 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: I feel like because because we went so long, I mean, 539 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: things are now slowly reopening, but because we went so 540 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: long without little treats. The past couple of weeks, I 541 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: got like one iced coffee, one boba tea, like two 542 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: times I got ice cream, and there was like one 543 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: other thing. And I truly remember every second of each 544 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: one of those experiences in a way that normally that 545 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: would be just like, oh, something I did, like on 546 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: my way back from you know, uh, your grocery shopping 547 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: or an event or something. But now I like, I 548 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: remember so well the process of waiting in line from 549 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: my mango Storebet I'm leaning deep into hedonism in this life. 550 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: But I'm not going outside. So what that means is 551 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: that I have bought my own Boba pearls, and I 552 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: am making my own in my house. I didn't know 553 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: that was an option, it is it is. So that 554 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: is how I am keeping myself together during this time. Wait, 555 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: you're not going outside basically, No, I'm no. I I 556 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: saw friends for the first time last week, for the 557 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: first time this whole time, um, which was for Tessa 558 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: Scare's birthday in the park. Um. And I've and seeing 559 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: my girlfriend every like two or three weeks or so. Wow. 560 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: But that's it. And I go grocery shopping. And I 561 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: go grocery shopping also every two or three weeks. Otherwise 562 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't leave my house. Huh, whoa. And you're nocturnal 563 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: and I'm nocturnal. I said that thing about gay people 564 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't be out in the sun. Maybe I'm just trying 565 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: to justify my own lifestyle. Right now, you're walking the 566 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: walk unlike mixed Emma, our listener, I'm living in deep fear. 567 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. Are you. Are you someone who 568 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: identifies as like um, like a hypochondriac or like superstitious, 569 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: Like are you someone who is affected more than other 570 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: people by something like a global pandemic? Actually no, it's 571 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: that I know that if I let myself be loose, 572 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: I will go so loose. So it's that I have to, like, 573 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: I have to keep this hold on myself. Otherwise it's 574 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: all just like fingers in my eyes and in my mouth, 575 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: like out on the train, out in public, like licking 576 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: like chips seasoning off of my hands. So I just 577 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: have to be like this otherwise like I'm going to go. Also, 578 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: the other thing, and this is real, for real, is 579 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: that I still get to fuck every two or three 580 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: weeks right now, and that is very precious to me, 581 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: and I don't want to risk that and that that 582 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: will be the first thing to go. Has there been 583 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: talk of quarantining to give No, I'm classically in a 584 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: non non monogue relish. So that's the other thing is 585 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: that I have to protect the integrity not only of 586 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: me and my partner, but of her other partner too. 587 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: Otherwise it's relation in the but there are multiple consistent partners. Yes, yes, interesting, 588 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: so I have to have to be responsible. I see 589 00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: does your girlfriend? See? Does your your girlfriend doesn't live 590 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: with her other partners? Does she know? So we're sort 591 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: of like a three rotating pod. Okay, the idea of 592 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 1: pods is very interesting to me. I was just I'm 593 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: not gonna out them. But people we know I recently 594 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: found out are all in the same pot, and it's 595 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: something I'm interested in. People have been doing that like 596 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: I thought that I felt like a very l a 597 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: thing to do, but now people are doing it in 598 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: New York. It's like Macha, yeah, I'm my I'm potting 599 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: right now with my parents. Um, and it is you know, yes, 600 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: how is that sam? Because you go you go something. 601 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: Another thing that I had brainstormed about earlier for this 602 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: was a family talking about family as straight and that 603 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: my edge into that was specifically that gay people can't 604 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: quarantine with their family. You know. Yeah, we're really pushing 605 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: the edge. Um it is. Um. For example, podcasting in 606 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: sort of this room right now, I'm a little bit like, well, 607 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: what do I want to say that I'll have to 608 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: potentially explain at dinner? In a bit or like like 609 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: it's a little like wait, why would you have to 610 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: explain it at dinner? Because what if they're what do 611 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: they hear it? And then it's like okay, well what 612 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: were you What was that about? Are you not in 613 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: a soundproof room for specifically made for podcasting in your 614 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: parents house? No, they didn't have time to install it. 615 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't notice your nice little attic 616 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: shaped room and you're be happy sign behind you, and 617 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: I had not I had not questioned that maybe you 618 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: were uh with family. I just was like, wow, I've 619 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: learned something about Sam today. Yeah. I just love to 620 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: keep a positive attitude. You are in a place where 621 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: you're like people in your house might be able to 622 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. Yes. Wow, that adds such a 623 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: level of psycho sexual games to this whole thing sort 624 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: of tension states and speaking of pride. It's a little like, Okay, 625 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm back in the closet and a bit like I 626 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: need to, you know, work on maybe being a little 627 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: more okay whatever I got.

Yeah, 656 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: I selfishly and narcissistic Lee like to think that I 657 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: tend to draw out these vulnerabilities from people too, because 658 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm very I'm extremely serious, and I'm like really only 659 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: interested in learning about people's trauma. But at the same time, 660 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: you're such a comic. Like I think of you as 661 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: such a a real stand up thank you. I don't 662 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: think of you as someone who's like getting on stage 663 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: and is like basically like saying serious things until people 664 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: get uncomfortable, and then that's the joke. Thank you. I 665 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: do try to tell a joke. I try my hardest, 666 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: but then I always feel like, because um, I like, 667 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: I think of myself as a very like comic key 668 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 1: comic two. But then I also think that I step 669 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: off the stage and I'm like not funny anymore, and 670 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, like, let's talk about what you just 671 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: said and how you let's talk about the space you're 672 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 1: taking up now. See, I'm sort of the I see 673 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: what you what you do, and I sort of do 674 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 1: the opposite. I I go up on that stage, boring, boring, boring, boring, 675 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: I get off the stage. Hilarious. Everyone's laughing, we're fist bumping. 676 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: It's incredible. And Sam, that's why you have friends and 677 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 1: I don't. Yes, damn, that's why you're potting with your 678 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:40,280 Speaker 1: family and two girlfriends. Exactly. No, I have one girlfriend 679 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: and she has another girlfriend. You're right, right, right, I 680 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: don't even have two girlfriends. Although I will say I 681 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: am doing a lot of well, I go in and 682 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: out of doing a lot of sexting and quarantine with 683 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot of different people, but that's all been doing that. 684 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: I'm not going to people we know that you would 685 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: not expect are sexting each other. I'm texting a few 686 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: people that we know that you must not expect. I 687 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: think I am the only person not sexting any of 688 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: our friends in our community. During quarantine, I started glad, 689 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: maybe you need to make yourself seem more vulnerable and 690 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: available on Maine. George, I think you are. I've never 691 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: seen your sex selfies, but I do think you have 692 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: such a skill with selfie taking I've seen on Twitter. 693 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: I would say, I've seen sex. Are you my close friends? 694 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: I'll get you on my close friends. I don't think 695 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 1: I am. The real divide in the white gay community 696 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: is who is on Jesse's close friends and who is not? 697 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: You know, I want to say, specifically, George, that I 698 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: saw I can't remember who somebody tweet about getting added 699 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: to your close friends and feeling so happy about that, 700 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 1: and since then have held that in my mind as 701 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: a goal post. Wait are you not on mine? I 702 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen one of yours. Well, I 703 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,280 Speaker 1: very rarely post them, but I it would be insane 704 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,439 Speaker 1: to me if you were not on it. I literally 705 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: took out my phone like fun podcast activity add just 706 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: to close friends. I hope for you. No, no, no, no, no, 707 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: it would be insane, insane if you weren't if you 708 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: weren't online. I think that my um my nudes game 709 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: has drastically improved in Quarantine. Yes, I think you are 710 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: one of the people who has managed to um become 711 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 1: more erotic but not more embarrassing. Yeah. That's a really 712 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: tough line too. Can you even think of anyone else? Yeah, 713 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's really difficult. Well, I really want um, 714 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: I really want to still be available to work on 715 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: primetime family oriented TV. Well, you want to be on 716 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: a pride campaign? Yes, yes, And you have to like 717 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: be able to maintain a certain family friendliness while also 718 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: building a fan base entirely off of just your most disgusting, 719 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: perverted thoughts. So it's it's a fine line to walk. 720 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: But that's why I can't do like I actually have always, 721 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: like from youth, wanted to get into pornography, but I 722 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: cannot do that because my ambitions to be mainstream famous 723 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: are bigger than my ambitions to film myself having sex. Yeah, 724 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: I feel honestly similarly where it's like that would be fun, 725 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: like what is great? That's like kind of the best 726 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: of all worlds like, but then it's like, but I 727 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: also do want to be able to do the normal 728 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: thing and not have people be like and it used 729 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: to be this, right? Are we not pass that? Am 730 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: I crazy? I really don't think we mind. I don't 731 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 1: we are not. I'm not doing porn because I myself 732 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 1: am like I am like more prudish. It has nothing 733 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: to do with like society and we accept that about you. 734 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: We love that about you, and there's a place for 735 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: you to Yes, I mean Pride is the place for 736 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: gay people who are prudish. Yes, that is what that 737 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: is how it's panning out. I Uh. My friend he 738 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: On Park, who writes on Shrill, made a really good point, 739 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: which was that um Disney apparently owns like fifty of Hollywood. 740 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: So if you get blacklisted by Disney, that's basically it. 741 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: You're basically out. And maybe that's why I am unsuccessful 742 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: because I've been blacklisted by Disney and I don't I 743 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: didn't even know it. That is it, That's absolutely it. 744 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 1: It's because you haven't been specifying which river you're riding 745 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: down world. They're like, wow, you think we only have 746 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: one river? Actually every river is different. Pocahona set it herself, 747 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: but um um, I wasn't taking it seriously until I 748 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: learned literally within quarantine that like Miley Cyrus got fired 749 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: from Hotel Transylvania because she posted a picture of herself 750 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: at her own birthday posing with a dick shaped cake, 751 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: and she got fired from Hotel Transylvania. Okay, well, first 752 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: of all, this episode can never be released and that's 753 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: not anything. You know, that's nothing. Oh I also saw something. 754 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: For some reason, people have been talking about Miley Cyrus 755 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 1: and sex censorship, which is insane because I don't care 756 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: about those words together, but they are teaching me. Um. 757 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 1: She also, after like the music video for Can't Be 758 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: Tamed came out, Radio Disney wiped her entirely from their catalog. 759 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: They wiped her from all of the like the promos 760 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: in between this is Radio Disney and I'm Miley Cyrus. 761 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: They cut her out of it um because they didn't 762 00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 1: know how to handle it, and that was how they 763 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: were sponded by just wiping her clean. And those are 764 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: not that's not porn, that's nothing. That's a music video 765 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: and a dick shaped cake on Instagram. And when I 766 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: saw that, I was like, oh, I can't. I cannot 767 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: do this. I'm not Miley Cyrus. I do not have 768 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: the generational cultural capital of Miley Cyrus. No you do. 769 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean if Miley keeps going the way 770 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 1: she's going, she's gonna be blacklisted so much that we'll 771 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: all have more cultural capital than her. I mean, it's 772 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: one thing after the other. I even feel that way, 773 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: like people are really are really cavalier about posting like 774 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: nudes and stuff, and I like don't, like I want 775 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: to be cavalier about it. But I also feel worried, 776 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: like I'm like, what what's going to happen? Um? Is 777 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: that crazy? It's not crazy? Sorry, No, I was just 778 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: going to admit that my titties and in on the 779 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: internet since like two eleven, ah, And I feel like 780 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: I set that precedent for myself, like almost knowingly at 781 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 1: that time, I was like, I'm going to do this 782 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: so that it's it continues to be okay for me 783 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: to do this for the rest of my life. But 784 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: now I'm kind of like, maybe I shouldn't have been 785 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: doing that. I mean, I don't you think. Here's the 786 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: thing with all like internet content. No matter how smart 787 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: or cool you think you are, inevitably, if you have 788 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 1: something like time Hop or Facebook on this day, when 789 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,240 Speaker 1: you see something you posted a year ago, it always 790 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: looks dumb. It's humiliating, you know what it's like. So 791 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: because these and you don't even we don't even realize 792 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: how quickly like norms and in jokes on the internet change, 793 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 1: or like something you think is so fresh, well either 794 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: seemed really corny or really outdated, or even really offensive, 795 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean offensive, like racist, I mean like offensive sometimes 796 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: sometimes and that's actually extremely general. But everybody is racist 797 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: and everybody is capable of doing that, so it's actually 798 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: extremely general and refers to nothing. Oh here's what I 799 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: Here's what I mean by offensive is sometimes you might 800 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: be like referencing something that's happening in the news, so 801 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: you'll be like, I'm trying to think, okay, so literally, 802 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: like recently, there was like a controversy with the New 803 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 1: York Times opinion section, and I commented on that, and 804 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 1: the word bisexual was in what I said because there 805 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: was a certain person involved.

And I was like, mm hmmm, mm hmm, Wow, 847 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: I feel like I've emotionally prepared myself for a leak, 848 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: Like this is what kind of narcissism I'm in right now, 849 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: is that I like believe with conviction that I will 850 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: be so successful that for years I have been already 851 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: emotionally preparing myself for the moment when, at the height 852 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: of my fame, my nudes get leaked. Because I'm like, 853 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: it'll happen to me. It happened to Jennifer Lawrence, it 854 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,280 Speaker 1: will happen to me. Can you said I emotionally prepared 855 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: for a leak? I was like, I thought, okay, me 856 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 1: ordering boba. Um, Jess, I would love you to talk 857 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: us through your strategy for when that leak happens. Um, Well, 858 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 1: it's kind of easy for me, as a certain marginalized 859 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 1: body in the system. It's kind of easy for me 860 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: to spin it in a sort of like well as 861 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: as as a trans person, and as as a person 862 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: of color, it's actually very empowering for me to be 863 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: having sex and sharing it in this way. And if 864 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: that freaks you out, maybe that's a problem with you. 865 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: And also you should respect my privacy because that's the 866 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: way it is of cultural Marxism. Campus is coming to him. 867 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 1: We're all living in a college campus. Now, listen, I 868 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: can talk circles around everybody, like, I'll talk my way 869 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: out of this. I'll be able to do it. Wow. 870 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: Another way in which white gay men are more marginalized 871 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,399 Speaker 1: is that Sam and I could never say that it's 872 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 1: radical for us to show our buddies. You know, there 873 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: was a time when I was like, no, it's brave 874 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: of me to post a speedo pick and I was like, 875 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,360 Speaker 1: it's bad. I mean, I'm gonna do it. It's summer, 876 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:10,359 Speaker 1: but it's bad. Will allow it? Thank you, thank you? 877 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Is it to for a final segment? 878 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: Did we cover pride? Yeah? Well, okay, Jess, you know what, 879 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:25,720 Speaker 1: here's let's let's do one final thing. Imagine like every 880 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: like we're in a new normal that's better than the 881 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: old normal. What would like what is a future pride like? 882 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 1: What would like the ideal Pride look like in the future. Um, 883 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 1: I think that there should be a lot of different 884 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 1: activities that a lot of different people can relate to. Yes, 885 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,439 Speaker 1: potato sack race for those who wish to sack potato race. 886 00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 1: Bisexual Yes, yes, only those bisexuals who so choose to participate. Um, 887 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: and that does not invalidate them whether they choose to 888 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 1: or not. No, no, no, I'm absolutely getting canceled for this. 889 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 1: But which is funny because actually a lot of different 890 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: parts of the gay community try to cancel me for 891 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: standing up for bisexuals. Um. But that's okay. I can 892 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 1: go in both directions. Um No, like a place to 893 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: do drugs or a place to not I'm a absolute 894 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,720 Speaker 1: fake bisexual as somebody who has joined Grinder in within 895 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: quarantine and then yeah, because I'm I'm talking, I'm coming 896 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: at you straight as someone who has deleted Grinder doing quarantine. 897 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: It to this is like San Francisco all over again. 898 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:50,359 Speaker 1: One's one's leaving, the others joining. I. Yeah, I got 899 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: into it for a second. I might get into it again. 900 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,720 Speaker 1: I feel like I got into it. Had a couple 901 00:56:54,719 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: of like really like disgusting interactions. Um. Really hot and disgusting, 902 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 1: and then was like, Okay, that's enough, and I sort 903 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,919 Speaker 1: of put it away and was this a potato sack 904 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: races for bisexuals? No grinder, no grinder? Probably, Uh, there's 905 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: a place to do drugs if you want to do drugs. 906 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: There's a place to not do drugs if you don't 907 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: want to do drugs. I think a drugs tent and 908 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: not drugs tent would be very fun effective. I think 909 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 1: it's totally great. Yeah, I would, I would. I think 910 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: I would do drugs tent um. What else? Definitely still 911 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: like funnel cake and like meat on a stick. Do 912 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,280 Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is that we are reinventing like 913 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: a straight like what's the word, not carnival, what's the word? 914 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking for? Fair? Fair? Fair? Like we're literally we're like, 915 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: what would pride be if we were all liberated? Potato 916 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: sack races, funnel cake, a no drug tent? We would 917 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,959 Speaker 1: weigh a pig? Yeah? Really just like a small town fair. 918 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 1: I love a fair. I mean an inclusive small town fair. 919 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 1: I guess that's the most radical possible thing you can 920 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 1: think of. If you went to bride and you were 921 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 1: like drunk, or on drugs, and you're with your queer 922 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: squad and you're like walking through the tent with all 923 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: the like pigs and horses that like the four h 924 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: Club brought like that sounds actually much better. I love that. 925 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: I love animals. Um, I I love being around animals. 926 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: I love to hold a lamb. Um. That I think 927 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: is a very queer activity. To create a lamb in 928 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 1: your arm cret Cradling a lamb is one of the 929 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 1: most queer things one can do. It almost deserves its 930 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: own letter. Yeah in the Yeah, that's what the L 931 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 1: stands for a lamb? Is it time?

I I'm 968 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 1: buying my own candles now that we're quarantining, and they're 969 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: actually a lot more expensive than I thought, and I 970 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 1: would really love for someone to kind of bring me 971 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: them as a gift.

Why not just give me a gift 979 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 1: card and let me decide for myself like an adult 980 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: while smelling my gorgeous eucalyptus candle that you also brought 981 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 1: me to my party.

Yes, his range, 992 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: he's amazing. Um. And I have left the vomit there 993 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: on those clothes because selfishly, I was like, I've already 994 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 1: relinquished these clothes from my belonging and I will not 995 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,080 Speaker 1: donate them with the vomit on them.

Uh, 997 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: it is too bad that you don't love me, which 998 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 1: I have learned during this time together, because I thought 999 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: it would be really comforting to have an animal around, 1000 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: and it turns out it's actually kind of stressful. Um, 1001 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 1: that's me. I'm just all right. Wow, that took a 1002 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: That was a good range. There was a good range. 1003 01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 1: There a lot of animal a lot of animal imagery today. 1004 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: I think love animals. Animals do love animals. I let 1005 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: me say really quickly that I was reading, um funk. 1006 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of this book. It's called 1007 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,240 Speaker 1: like in in Our Secret Gardens or something that my 1008 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 1: girlfriend habits, a book from the seventies that is like 1009 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 1: women's fantasies that they contributed, and very very very many 1010 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: of them are about having sex with animals. Well, first 1011 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 1: of all, let me just say that In Our Secret 1012 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: Gardens is the name of every lesbian book is true 1013 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: about for lesbians, by lesbians, for lesbians. I'd be like 1014 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: in Our Secret Gardens. Next question, um, it was the 1015 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 1: animal is the twist? I will give you that. I 1016 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,920 Speaker 1: thought that that was a guy thing. Yeah, I know, definitely. 1017 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 1: But you know what though, that's why it's queer. It 1018 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,560 Speaker 1: is and there are possibilities for all of us. No, 1019 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: there are no women who fuck animals represented in media. 1020 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 1: It's always men. Remember that that's true.
