25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Why are you called reptile Matt? Do you want a

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: good question? The true reason? Yes, because it's not really

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: all that great of a story. It is. It is cool. Well,

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: there's it's interesting to us. There were when I first

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: moved here. Alex was literally the second person that I

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: met when I walked through the You moved from where Tennessee.

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm okay here a little yeah, just a little bit right?

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: UM's it with Brooklyn accent red hood, born and raised you.

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Alex had dozens I think a friend's named Matt, so

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: they each got a nickname. In mine came reptile Matter.

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: But why a reptile match? Well, because I work at

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: at the zoo in the reptile department. Okay, and I've

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: been kitchen livery critters since I was a little kid.

38
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: We went to the we went on like a tour.

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: He let my kids almost catch was an alligator. I

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, and they got to feed it with

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a stick and everything. They beat it with a stick.

42
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: You've gotten bitten like a bunch of times, yes, but

43
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: not by any not by a venomous snake. But you haven't,

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: but you have a ton of You deal with venomous

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: snakes every day. And so why I mean you you

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: love snakes? I do I do for those of us

47
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: who hate snakes. I mean, I don't know why. I

48
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: just I'm afraid of is anyone else afraid? I love snakes?

49
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Gives them? What? Do you love them? I just think

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: they're so beautiful and so different than all of the

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: other creatures on this planet. And you just described yourself.

52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: And they look like they're deceptive, they look like they'd

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: be all slimy, but they feel really cool. And there's

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: so many different kinds. Did you hold one with me

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: at the white one hunded Christmas party? Is that at

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: the urinal? Okay? So at the zoo? If you are

57
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: a hit, they call it hit right by a snake. Yes,

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it's venomous. Yes, what do you do? What do you

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: know what to do? Yeah? Okay, I hope. So first things, like,

60
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: we do have a refrigerator, full of anti venom's BONDI

61
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: that is UM that's only administered by a doctor, So

62
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: we don't do that. So if I'm bitten, I'm gonna

63
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: let you administer. Is there a doctor on the nod

64
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: before you get the one? Not? Well, you're depending on

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the snake. You can be sure. So if Matt gets

66
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: hit by one, he pushes a button along goes throughout

67
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: the whole zoo, and each staff member goes to the location,

68
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: and we will have a role. We gotta keep Matt calm,

69
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: We gotta take off jewelry. What do you do? What's

70
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: your role? Alex Well. I used to be in the

71
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: animal department. I'm not what um. I was a supervisor,

72
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: so I would delegate, yell at people, don't go cold

73
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: nine one go man the gate. You know crowd control.

74
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we have that same system here. For instance,

75
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: when the radio station goes off the air. Scary's role

76
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: is to panic, and he pushed the last time he

77
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: pushed Daniel against the wall. Part of that band panic

78
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: at the studio. He ran through a wall like in

79
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: the cartoons where you just see the outline of his body.

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Because I feel like the weed of the world is

81
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: on my shoulders. It's really great about Matt story and

82
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, he had this passion for critters when

83
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: he was a little boy, I mean bank before you

84
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: remember remembering things, and so he turned that passion into

85
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: his lifelong, lifelong mission and job, I think that's so cool.

86
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: And Alex, when he was a little boy, you had

87
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: all sorts of frog growing up. I had a chameleon, snakes, hurdles, frogs,

88
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: everything right when I was a kid, I just played

89
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: records and read the weather. Everyone was in the right direction.

90
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: And Gandhi, what was your passion when you were a

91
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: kid animals? Talking about Daniel, you said, really and truly,

92
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: really and truly, that's what maddoways uses. And I never

93
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: hear that when he gets drunk. Okay. So I was

94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: the person who used to go outside and catch anything

95
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: I possibly could and then bring it home and I

96
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: would try to keep it alive as long as I could.

97
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: And then I realized I wasn't good at it, so

98
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: I stopped catching the things because they would die. But

99
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: I of animals, I just want to touch all of them.

100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Well you didn't want to or like something like that. Well,

101
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: so I would love to be. That takes a lot

102
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: of education. So I just what did you want? I

103
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: want you? But Alex is talking me out of it.

104
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: He said, it's a terrible plan. Rac Coon's your bad? Yeah, hey, scary.

105
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: What was your passion as a kid. It's always been

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: radio and electronics. To hang out the radio shock in

107
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: my spare time, and look how well they're doing. Now.

108
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: You know me too, same thing. The little strip mall

109
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: near our house. I would ride my bike over and

110
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: buy the latest records for my show, and then I

111
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: would go to radio shack and buy the latest whatever

112
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: to plug into my little studio. And then I almost

113
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: burned the house down when I plug. I plugged my

114
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: little battery transmitter into the wall. Read it in the book,

115
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Hey Brodie, what was your Brodie? What was your passion

116
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: when you were a kid. I was going to be

117
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: a lawyer. Yeah, all I can see that. I can

118
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: see that because you argue everything and people I don't

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: give up. You guys see that right, Yeah, I see it.

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: You still have those skills. Yeah, I was. It was

121
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: pre law in college, and I watched every law program,

122
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: every law movie. I even read John Grisham law novels.

123
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: And I don't even read, just because I just loved it.

124
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I just absorbed everything. And I realized that this personality

125
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: would get in trouble in the courtroom. It was too

126
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: much research for me. I just wanted the exciting courtroom

127
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: part contempt. And then I realized all the legal papers

128
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: and the brief yet to write, and I just not

129
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: can't be like Joe Peshy in my cousin Vinny. Yeah,

130
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: I've been good for the research, like look at his

131
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: picture that man is. You know, I'd be good at reasoning,

132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: but all the looking for precedent and all. I couldn't

133
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: do it much. You don't have to hire people to

134
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: do all that for you. You'd be a good lawyer,

135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: a good lawyer. Well, this gig doesn't work out. It's

136
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: the days early, Garrett, My dreams still possible. That because

137
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the way that they're playing, I was going to be

138
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: on the New York Knicks. Yeah, no, I have I

139
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: could move right now and probably try to get on

140
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: the team. Get out there. It makes some money. But no, seriously,

141
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: it was your question that was my passion up until

142
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: about ninth grade. Were you good at basketball? Yeah? Oh,

143
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know basketball and swimming. At what age did

144
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: you realize you weren't getting that growth spurt? Uh? Well,

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I was pretty tall compared to everybody else. But uh yeah,

146
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: freshman year of high school, I go not gonna happen.

147
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: I love the word spurt. Hey, Alex, was it animals

148
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: that was your passion when you were a kid or

149
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: just causing trouble? No animals? But then I wanted to

150
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: become a police officer because my dad was, And then, um, yeah,

151
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: no animals, you know. But hey, you know I did

152
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: it for twenty two years and now I'm doing a

153
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: career change and I'm still there. That's cool. You can

154
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: still see Alex once in a while. So if you

155
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: start chasing down the peacocks, he's not going to stop you. Now.

156
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Uh what was your you it to be an actress? Yes,

157
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to be on Broadway. That was what I

158
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: wanted to perform at Disney, um as one of the

159
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: entertainers at Disney. I almost got there, and then I

160
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: got cut right before the last audition. Really I didn't

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: know that. Oh yeah, I made it all the way

162
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: up to the end. They kept coming. Now they don't

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: they just tell you when you go for the audition.

164
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: We're we already are cat, we already have shows cast.

165
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: We're looking to put you in a show that's already created.

166
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: We're not looking to create a show around you. So

167
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: just know that's what we're looking like. How they deflated

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: your little bubble, they popped, there's no there's all different

169
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: there's all different stages of the audition process. And then

170
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: I got up to the final stage and then I

171
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: was cut and they said we're going to put you

172
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: on file just in case. But if I had gone,

173
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: I would never be here. So things work out for

174
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: reasons they do. Yeah, well, if you want to be

175
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: on Broadway, it's three blocks away. I'm just going to

176
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: walk there and stand good. I could be. It's so cool.

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I look, it's great to have dreams, and

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: everyone needs to have dreams, and even if you're not

179
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: going in that direction dreaming about it, it it is still

180
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: kind of fun. You know, Well, what I wanted from

181
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: you know, they have hot people have hobbies and passions

182
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: that we're just talking about. But what I wanted and

183
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: what my parents wanted from me were two different things

184
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: they want and amongst they wanted me to be a

185
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: c P, A so a certified public accountant. So I

186
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: started taking these accounting courses in college and I lasted

187
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: about three quarters of a year and I'm like, I'm out,

188
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I can so do they think you just didn't have

189
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: any direction in their opinions, so they thought they would

190
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: help you find some direction their ideas radio for a

191
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: parent is like, well, that's exactly my parents rejected that

192
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: for several years. I had to have a come to

193
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Jesus with my dad years later, where he apologized to

194
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: me and said, I'm so sorry. I doubt when people

195
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: ever come to Jesus do they actually find Jesus. Yeah,

196
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: But Gandha, you know your family. You know, you have

197
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: a lot of doctors, like people who are very very

198
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: well educated, and as you are very well educ but

199
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: you're you're the only one in the Gandhi family that

200
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: decided to do radio. I am I'm the only one

201
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: that went into any type of arts whatsoever. You have

202
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: to have a come to moment with your parents, so

203
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: wait not and no, they actually they've really turned recently.

204
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: They for the longest time, I would always get when

205
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna get a real job? When you're gonna

206
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: get a real job, and I was like, guys, this

207
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: is a real job and it was really difficult to

208
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: get But now they're finally starting to understand it a little,

209
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: so it's cool. Now has your dad been listening in again?

210
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: She found out her dad discovered how to listen to

211
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: the show. And now I'm afraid you're gonna start editing yourself.

212
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: I will not edit myself. I had a conversation with

213
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: him about it over the weekend how that it was fine. Well,

214
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: first of all, he just straight came out and asked me.

215
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: He said, so, do you have a boyfriend or what?

216
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: What the hell is this I'm hearing? And I told him, yes,

217
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a thing going on. I

218
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I call my boyfriend, but there's a thing.

219
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: So then he asked for pictures, and then he asked

220
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: if I have to stand on my tiptoes to kiss him,

221
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: and the whole thing was really weird. But we got

222
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: to a place where he was like, I don't care kid,

223
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Oh you're a grown up. Now live your life, live

224
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: your life the way you want to. Mom's the pain

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: in the ass, not me, And I was like, that's

226
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: so true. Yeah. The book Your Parents Listening Brodie. Does

227
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,800

229
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: but no my mother. But you guys know my mom.

230
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: She's funny, she's out there. She is just a big

231
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: she's a one and your mom and Dan the God. Yeah. Absolutely.

232
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: My father loves to listen with his morning coffee on

233
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: his way to meet his buddies. You know, that's what

234
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: retirement life is like. And my mom listens to any

235
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: chance she gets, and anything she doesn't hear, she hears

236
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: from the school teachers. School, did you hear what they're

237
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: saying about? Your Mother's friends tell her all about the

238
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: smack you're talking on the air. She doesn't really listen,

239
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: so they tell her and then she goes, what were

240
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: you saying about this morning? Like, oh gosh. But my dad,

241
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: he is a one and he loves he loves this show.

242
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: But he's so cute because he'll text me and moment

243
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: during the show, Danny, remember when you did this? And

244
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Danny remember it? Excute? Explain what one is like a

245
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: really big listener. It's preference preference one, know my mom.

246
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: I remember when mom and dad finally figured out how

247
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: to turn on the computer and listen to their son

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: up in New York, and I would gets called Elvis.

249
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: I did not raise you to talk like that. You're

250
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: daddy and I turn it off. Did that make it

251
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: difficult for you? Did you find yourself editing? No, not

252
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: at all. No, you can't. We have a show to do. Yeah,

253
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: like we've gotten this far doing what we do. I

254
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: can't really change it, even if I wanted to. I

255
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: don't think to edit myself because I just assume they're

256
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: not listening. And then I told them, don't text me.

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. I gotta tell you. Should

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: my mom and dad are there were much older than me,

259
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: and so we really weren't that close as far as

260
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: being very personal with each other. So I said, you

261
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: know what, they should listen to the show just to

262
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: learn about their son that they probably don't know a

263
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: lot about because I haven't told them. It's my fault.

264
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: You have the double life. Well yeah, but no, it's

265
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: an edited life. Okay, you know I didn't you know?

266
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: They know? They knew me. They knew when I was

267
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: about they knew that I was gay. We didn't talk

268
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: about it. They were the only two people I have

269
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: not talked about being gay too, so there was never

270
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: like a moment like coming out of the closet, I'm

271
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: talking to my mom and dad. It was just kind

272
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: of like this, they just knew. But pantyhose incident probably

273
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: was a tip off. Well you know, well that was

274
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: a cross dressing thing. Okay, yes, I'm not a cross dresser.

275
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: But Alex, by the way, I'm going to tell you something.

276
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: I know we're getting married in September. I'm gay. I

277
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: hope that's not a problem. It's not an issue out that.

278
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: When you first started dating Alex, I actually thought we

279
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: were going to trade for a while. What do you mean,

280
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Alex and I had a little something something, and then

281
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: you have something something with my husband's drink. Your husband,

282
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: your husband, your husband had a chance with me minute morning, Elf,
