Speaker 1: those are your real credits, unvailable. The first time, I
Speaker 1: never like thought about it like that because my mom
Speaker 1: is still know. Yeah, she calls you and she says, Hi, um,
Speaker 1: can you do something with your fucking insurance. My mom
Speaker 1: has been like, um, you need to change your insurance,
Speaker 1: and she calls me, and she doesn't care that I
Speaker 1: was once in a Comedy Central video. She doesn't lost
Speaker 1: up to the parents who don't give a ship what
Speaker 1: we do and don't these these I mean, whatever things
Speaker 1: we've amassed in the last few years mean nothing to them,
Speaker 1: and they keep us grounded. It's really never hit the
Speaker 1: one of culture. Your parents don't care. It's so really
Speaker 1: like she cares because I can see a doctor now. Yes,
Speaker 1: I couldn't see a doctor for so long before. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you writers guilds right and uh but yeah, she's
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, you can see a doctor. Oh, you
Speaker 1: can buy me dinner. Yes, these other markers because of success.
Speaker 1: That's why I hit up all my guild friends for meals, medication. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Sometimes I do hit up hit them
Speaker 1: up for antibiotics. Oh that's nice. One time, one time
Speaker 1: I offered you extra Viking and not Viking, and I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. One time extra you offered me an extra roommate.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious what we got third hand? Yes, and then
Speaker 1: and then I'll just say, Mike spends your roommate. I
Speaker 1: didn't understand that he was getting his stocked up and
Speaker 1: stole over him to come to me. I asked him,
Speaker 1: I was, I cannot have these, and he said, he
Speaker 1: gives you a passive aggressive answer. He did, but I
Speaker 1: still campaigned hard for you, but also like cats of aggressive, No,
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work if your friends about to die. Roll
Speaker 1: your eyes and you're like, I guess it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: it's a life or death situation. And you know, every
Speaker 1: time I'm even mildly sick, it's a life or death situation.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. And I was talking about this
Speaker 1: before we hit record. Matt is dealing with a lot
Speaker 1: of cancer stories right now, so many. Okay, so you guys,
Speaker 1: I've been doing stressful time and I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. And and so before I said to Ray,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm dealing with the cancer story right now,
Speaker 1: because Ray and I just came from a show I'll
Speaker 1: plug it. We came from the above average showcase. Ray
Speaker 1: did stand up. I did some characters and I said
Speaker 1: to her before I was like, I'm about to go
Speaker 1: up there, and I have a canker star that has
Speaker 1: a nickel on my lips right now, and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: you can't see it. And I immediately jumped in and
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, it's not a cold sore,
Speaker 1: because isn't herpies cold? I have the I have the cold,
Speaker 1: So you have the you have H one? Yes, I
Speaker 1: have h herpie simplex virus one, Yes I have. I
Speaker 1: mean I'm a woman, I have HPV. Right, apparently I
Speaker 1: have herpies simplex virus one. But ever your could stars
Speaker 1: don't show up or they never have ever. My gosh,
Speaker 1: I think I've been getting cold sores every other fall.
Speaker 1: That's fine. You guys should both be lucky that you
Speaker 1: don't have herbies zoster, which I have, which is just
Speaker 1: the shingles virus. Oh you know, I never had chicken
Speaker 1: pox and I don't have shingles, so that you're you're
Speaker 1: in the clear. I think my dad got shingles though,
Speaker 1: when he was like, no shingles you get if you
Speaker 1: did have the chicken pox virus and it's dormant and
Speaker 1: then it springs up again. So that's what that is.
Speaker 1: So if you didn't have chicken pocks growing up, then
Speaker 1: you're fine. But what about this, Okay, what about when
Speaker 1: they say that if you didn't have chicken pox as
Speaker 1: a child, actually that's not so good because if you
Speaker 1: get it as an adult it could be very painful. Well,
Speaker 1: I got a vaccine, so I think it's just like
Speaker 1: I think the vaccine kind of was just like but
Speaker 1: you know, everybody says, get the chicken pox when you're young,
Speaker 1: so you don't have chingles when you grow up, but
Speaker 1: you do still have chingles when you grow up. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. It's it's dormant. So anyway you've had that's
Speaker 1: like old wives sales in I think. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's not medically, I don't think that's that's correct.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Matt is dealing with canker stores. Yet Monday
Speaker 1: so bad and I get I get a breakout when
Speaker 1: I get stressed. So Sunday night he tells me this,
Speaker 1: and I go, well, I have this amazing Chinese herbal
Speaker 1: remedy that I swear by that I've been using since
Speaker 1: I was like in high school, that my mom, you know,
Speaker 1: procures from like the shitty Chinatown pharmacies for me, and
Speaker 1: I'll bring it with me tomorrow. And I began to
Speaker 1: look forward to that. Well tomorrow was yesterday, and so
Speaker 1: you did not I brought it with I was, it
Speaker 1: was on my person yesterday, but then we didn't end
Speaker 1: up meeting yesterday. So then today you're like, I really
Speaker 1: needed you. Can you bring it to the recording? I go,
Speaker 1: I don't have it, but we can. We can go
Speaker 1: back to my place. But I still had a little
Speaker 1: bit of time to kill before I came here, so
Speaker 1: I went on this so Jordan in China Town for
Speaker 1: my bitch right here, Matt Rodgers, and I was embarrassing
Speaker 1: myself to all these nasty, nasty, dour shop keeps. Do
Speaker 1: you have watermelon frost? It's what it's called. It's called
Speaker 1: watermelon frost. That sounds elegant, sounds watermelon frost sounds like
Speaker 1: someone would call their metall out. Oh yes, watermelon frost.
Speaker 1: It's the theme. Did you hear what I just said?
Speaker 1: It sounds like what someone would call out that's the
Speaker 1: cancer star. But I understood. It turned your effort to
Speaker 1: a whole being. It gave me a whole other continants out.
Speaker 1: I went through so many fucking shops and it was like,
Speaker 1: and they say, which means, I don't know which was lying?
Speaker 1: They're lying they didn't want to open up again exactly.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, all the pharmacies are closed around,
Speaker 1: like the like the shitty Chinatown pharmacies were all closed.
Speaker 1: They close it like six It's nonsense, Like, how do
Speaker 1: you expect people to get there? How do you expect
Speaker 1: business to do? I never understand when a service provider
Speaker 1: of any kind has daytime hours. I know that that
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but doctors should always work, even who's gonna
Speaker 1: see it? Like you can't see a doctor during the
Speaker 1: day because every bitch does at work. Does that work?
Speaker 1: And pediatricians, I get no, But even then it's like
Speaker 1: the kids are at school, yes, And also kids always
Speaker 1: get sick at night. They always wake up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night hottest ship, scream and crying. You
Speaker 1: need pediatricians. What is it about that? Why do you
Speaker 1: get most at night time? Because maybe you're you're resting.
Speaker 1: Your immune system is sort of and a lull and
Speaker 1: then you're more susceptible to I don't know. Maybe we
Speaker 1: have some doctors out there that if you know, for
Speaker 1: all you aliens and old people still use pieces, Um,
Speaker 1: when your phone is, when your phone or computer is charging,
Speaker 1: is that when you get viruses? Oh, we gotta figure
Speaker 1: out charing. We must know if there's a connection here.
Speaker 1: Anybody out there who still has an android let us
Speaker 1: right now. I have to ask you, but I have
Speaker 1: to ask you about your voice. Did you have a
Speaker 1: fun night or something. I don't know what's gonna what's
Speaker 1: going through? Okay, I don't know this story. I'm dying
Speaker 1: to hear. She's choosing what she wants to share. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because okay, So I'm gonna be thirty in December. I
Speaker 1: was just telling this to Matt on the way here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be thirty in December. And you know, I'm
Speaker 1: like all feminists and career oriented and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't like need kids right now. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: need a partner right now. I'm super single and uh
Speaker 1: and but like I'm gonna be thirty and I don't know.
Speaker 1: It just hit me like two weeks ago, like oh
Speaker 1: my god, It's like, I don't even I couldn't even
Speaker 1: think of a man that I would ever be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my kid can have half your DNA. But like, suddenly
Speaker 1: it was so important that there's nobody out there that
Speaker 1: I would, you know, feel good enough to share kids with.
Speaker 1: What was the what was the sorry for lack of
Speaker 1: a better word, what was the trigger for that? It
Speaker 1: literally was like, oh, we were on break from work
Speaker 1: for two weeks, so I had a lot of booze
Speaker 1: in bed by myself. Just my brain was like, you know,
Speaker 1: what do you want to do before thirty? And then
Speaker 1: it was like suddenly have a kid? That it was
Speaker 1: something I think it's something like that, like unfortunately like
Speaker 1: kicks with women, like hey, have your thought about your body?
Speaker 1: Is thinking about it, and it's like and you know,
Speaker 1: and milestone shouldn't matter, but they do for some reason.
Speaker 1: So uh so I like I was seeing somebody until recently,
Speaker 1: but he moved away, so the situation ended, and I've
Speaker 1: been doing some kind of like well, there's no one
Speaker 1: in New York I want, So I just texted him
Speaker 1: to like make myself feel better and really quickly, would
Speaker 1: you would would your kid? Would you willingly have your
Speaker 1: kid have half his DNA. He's really hot and he's
Speaker 1: really smart and like, like literally the only problem is distance. Um,
Speaker 1: and he's young and like a doctor, and you know
Speaker 1: it wants to be like a young, hot doctor in
Speaker 1: another city. So you know, I still like, you know,
Speaker 1: do my ego stroke in texting with him and I'm like, uh,
Speaker 1: first of all, he's younger than I am, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's like, find somebody that makes you feel fuckable
Speaker 1: in New York. So I like spotted another young boy.
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to decide to be a cougar.
Speaker 1: I think that's my sweet SPoD. So because I'm just
Speaker 1: older dudes have worn me out, and there's a confidence
Speaker 1: I feel talking to a man who's still taller but
Speaker 1: dumber than me. Yes, yes, yes, great applies to most men.
Speaker 1: For you that most men are dumber than you. Well,
Speaker 1: that's part of the part of the concern. I know
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound terrible, but no, guys, just really quickly.
Speaker 1: Ray is just a fucking genius. The first time I
Speaker 1: met her, I was like, oh my god, who the
Speaker 1: fuck is this? He just like gives you the truth
Speaker 1: and at the show, guys and you hosted. Yeah, you guys,
Speaker 1: you you guys. I sat down and I was like
Speaker 1: listening away. So yeah, like I'm also I should just
Speaker 1: say I've been fortunate enough to go to very good schools,
Speaker 1: and so I'm already like they're not enough of those
Speaker 1: guys who meet like a basic level of intellect. Can
Speaker 1: I keep cutting in? Um, would you prefer an IVY
Speaker 1: League guy or no? I know if I prefer an
Speaker 1: IVY League guy, But I think it's one of those
Speaker 1: things that are also residual in your brain, like there
Speaker 1: was you know, I didn't finish school. I want to
Speaker 1: be clear, I'm gonna dropout at I did go to
Speaker 1: an IVY League, And then I'm on, i've been on
Speaker 1: mental healthy leave for seven years. Come through, come on break,
Speaker 1: just like I've got to prove. I almost went back,
Speaker 1: like comedy was not going well and I almost went back.
Speaker 1: But one of the stipulations is that I have to
Speaker 1: see a psychiatrist for a full year. And then I
Speaker 1: was like, I like, I'm a broke comedian. What you
Speaker 1: mean psychiatrist for year? Anyway? So um, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want like this guy is twice IVY League, like
Speaker 1: the second one was med school, young black dude, and like,
Speaker 1: you know, I like so when I had that, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. I wasn't like in
Speaker 1: love with him or anything. She just kind of was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm not going to meet this again.
Speaker 1: He's woke game with feminism, understands trans issues not socially
Speaker 1: only but medically as well. Huge um, And like you know,
Speaker 1: I just was like I'm not gonna do better than that,
Speaker 1: which isn't necessarily true, but it started. And so we're
Speaker 1: like two months out of our situation at this point.
Speaker 1: So and I'm still texting him like last week, you know,
Speaker 1: just to stroke my ego. And I was like, oh god,
Speaker 1: I'm non fuckable, which I was like, I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: I keep texting you at three am. I'm just having
Speaker 1: time alone with my brain and I'm worried. He was
Speaker 1: like totally cool about it. Um. But so then I
Speaker 1: tried to hit on some other young boy and I
Speaker 1: totally sucked it up, like totally sorry. I was like
Speaker 1: a text game fucked it up, and uh so I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, I can't even finesse twenty five year
Speaker 1: olds like good. So I was feeling bed at by
Speaker 1: myself and the night like decided that I was going
Speaker 1: to go out every night from like Thursday and look
Speaker 1: as good as I possibly could. So I like wore dresses, skirts,
Speaker 1: I like put on lots of makeup and stuff. I
Speaker 1: showered maybe twice a day during that like four day period, um,
Speaker 1: and so like we were on hiatus from work for
Speaker 1: two weeks. This is where all the booze in bed happened.
Speaker 1: And then exactly then, so then I go to a party,
Speaker 1: like a little get gathering on Sunday night and it
Speaker 1: ends at nine thirty. I'm like, Okay, you're in a
Speaker 1: responsible do who's work in the morning. Go back to work.
Speaker 1: But then my co host, I mean, go back to
Speaker 1: go back to bed. And but then my co host
Speaker 1: was at a comedy show, Marcia, and she was at
Speaker 1: a fun comedy show. She was like, Oh, the lineup
Speaker 1: is really good. Come hang. So I just hopped in
Speaker 1: an uber. I was like, yeah, I'm not finished with
Speaker 1: dis dressed exactly. That shadow was popping, Like my hair
Speaker 1: was good. So like I go out and like I
Speaker 1: just keep drinking. Uh. There was like a little dance
Speaker 1: party after the show, and this like gorgeous British tourists
Speaker 1: just comes up to me and he like, he starts
Speaker 1: he's a young I'm like he's even oh god, he's
Speaker 1: twenty three. Um, and he like he comes up to
Speaker 1: me with stupid game, you know, a year olds. So
Speaker 1: he's like like, is this your favorite bard around? Like
Speaker 1: where did it lock to go? This is my leads accent,
Speaker 1: and she described it was like a Harris Styles top. Yeah, basically,
Speaker 1: And so I was like, never say that again. You
Speaker 1: are so corny, You're really handsome. Yes, That's what him
Speaker 1: being twenty three did to me. I would never if
Speaker 1: he was thirty out to be like yeah. So I
Speaker 1: was like, never say that again. Uh. And he was white.
Speaker 1: He also said something about, you know, I've never been
Speaker 1: with a black girl before, and I was like, never
Speaker 1: say that again. I felt very in control of the situation.
Speaker 1: I felt like yes and so uh and so like
Speaker 1: he was cute enough. He sent his friend away. We
Speaker 1: made out a little bit at the bar, and we
Speaker 1: go home, like we hop in an uber and we
Speaker 1: go to my house and I'm like, rough, you have
Speaker 1: work in the morning. This this is like so like
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that, you know, because you're at a bar,
Speaker 1: you gotta talk over music and you know, and then
Speaker 1: there're sex noises and stuff. So here we are. There
Speaker 1: are those, So here we are. This is a five
Speaker 1: am voice RASP. It's someone who's been awake till five
Speaker 1: I said, Sometimes though it doesn't matter what reason says,
Speaker 1: like lights went off again, this happening, Well, sometimes it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what reason says. It's just like you
Speaker 1: must get your body to the place it needs to be.
Speaker 1: And this person was handsome and dumb and young, and
Speaker 1: they were there and so then you got you carry
Speaker 1: through and no, that's beautiful. I think the latest booty
Speaker 1: call I ever did was a five am r And
Speaker 1: he didn't get there until five am. And I was
Speaker 1: twenty four and he was nineteen. What was he doing
Speaker 1: so far? He was just like not, he was just
Speaker 1: and yeah, they came. He came over and he was
Speaker 1: so drunk, and it was in my old Park Slope
Speaker 1: apartment and I was just like, I couldn't believe he
Speaker 1: said he was coming over too, And then at five
Speaker 1: am rolled around and he finally shot up and I
Speaker 1: was like, I honestly don't want to here anymore. But
Speaker 1: you got like a perfect little body. It's on him
Speaker 1: for showing up three hours is more like it's crazy. See.
Speaker 1: But the thing and the thing is like it wasn't
Speaker 1: even a possibility of me being like, hey, don't come
Speaker 1: over anymore, because he was like I'm on my way
Speaker 1: the whole time, and I was like okay, but anyway,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we should get to yes, the
Speaker 1: question we need to ask Ray, the question we ask
Speaker 1: all of our guests, which is, Ray, what is the
Speaker 1: culture that made you into the person that you are
Speaker 1: so like? At at a at a formative age. This
Speaker 1: is the culture that entered your life, whether it be movies, uh, geography,
Speaker 1: television where you grew up, whatever that made you become, Um,
Speaker 1: the Ray that you were today. It made you say,
Speaker 1: culture might be for me, Man, I could be a book,
Speaker 1: a text, like a text and as in like a
Speaker 1: work of text. Okay, this is kind of embarrassing. When
Speaker 1: I was in seven twelfth grade, when I was like
Speaker 1: seventeen or maybe eleventh grade, so it would have been sixteen.
Speaker 1: But Um, we read a book called The Unbearable Lightness
Speaker 1: of Being in our little philosophy class and I have
Speaker 1: read I read it every year until I was like
Speaker 1: twenty two. But I read it for the wrong reasons,
Speaker 1: Like I read it like, oh my god, indulged in
Speaker 1: all of your feelings. Like I was like, I'm Teresa,
Speaker 1: I'm hurt, and I'm going to indulge in all my
Speaker 1: feelings and dump them on everybody else. And so I
Speaker 1: was like annoying in an emo for like, and I'm
Speaker 1: probably still annoying an email emo, but I like it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But I also I am very grateful because I came
Speaker 1: My parents are Nigerian Muslim immigrants. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like not taking your emotional self seriously. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of go to school, we got hard work
Speaker 1: to do, toughen up, suck it up, you know, and
Speaker 1: and like, so I think that was the first time
Speaker 1: I let myself in a real way indulge in as
Speaker 1: in how emo I actually am? And uh And you know,
Speaker 1: I was also old enough to articulate for my mom
Speaker 1: why it's okay that I'm more emotional than everybody else
Speaker 1: in the family. And like my mom is learning super
Speaker 1: late now, but like she's learning how to be indulge
Speaker 1: in herself too, because she doesn't have to be our
Speaker 1: mom anymore because my younger sister is so like, oh
Speaker 1: I someone you me my sister. Oh, I've done that
Speaker 1: seventeen times over at this point. Whatever bone dudes older
Speaker 1: than my sister, so it's all relatives could go either way.
Speaker 1: But yeah, So that like and that's you know, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll give that to my mom to read one day
Speaker 1: we're to race us. I earned it from you. There
Speaker 1: you go. Okay, that is this is so funny and
Speaker 1: it's so appropriate that that is the most intellectual answer
Speaker 1: we've ever had on the show. It's not embarrassing. No,
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad because I am just like getting
Speaker 1: back in touch with this side of me because I
Speaker 1: also took philosophy in high school and it was my
Speaker 1: sixth subject and ib which is the excuse me, no,
Speaker 1: it was this no, but it's bullshit like it was
Speaker 1: anyway I be. It's this Bacclori program. So and I
Speaker 1: chose to philosophy is like like a p but better
Speaker 1: for all for all my people that are like me
Speaker 1: out there. It's like a it's like it's like those
Speaker 1: smart kids better than them, Like like when I was
Speaker 1: when I say like me, I mean like the kids
Speaker 1: that were like, I'm an honors I thought that wasn't
Speaker 1: just something that like they were just trying to get
Speaker 1: people in. That's debatable, but anyway, I but I indulged
Speaker 1: in myself at that age to where it was like
Speaker 1: as a junior, I was like, oh wow, I mean
Speaker 1: I like and this is pretty basic, but like I
Speaker 1: got obsessed with Plato and just like just like loved
Speaker 1: all of Socrates. But um, but for you to say
Speaker 1: unbearable Lightness of Being, I mean, that's just one of
Speaker 1: those books to me that I've never read. There has
Speaker 1: been such this. It's part of this like monolith of
Speaker 1: books that's just like I can't approach. It's like it's like,
Speaker 1: I please, I don't know if it's fair to like
Speaker 1: put that with infinite jestin limped that together with like
Speaker 1: this thing is it's not quite that hard. I know
Speaker 1: it's it's much more accessible, but for me, it's just
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm intimidated by Like well, I really was
Speaker 1: very grateful that I read it with a teacher who
Speaker 1: had taught it before, because it is really hard. It's beautiful,
Speaker 1: the pros is score just everything feels like a beautifully
Speaker 1: worded treatise, and it is, but I'm very grateful that
Speaker 1: I had someone to talk it out with in parton
Speaker 1: because the book is about one thing, but when you're
Speaker 1: reading it, it can feel like it's about another thing.
Speaker 1: It feels like a romance novel into some degree is,
Speaker 1: but it's not. And it's like important to have someone
Speaker 1: who can see beyond your teenage self centered self to
Speaker 1: recognize that this is like a commentary on the world
Speaker 1: we're in and how we should live in it, as
Speaker 1: opposed to like indulging in all your sad feelings. Totally
Speaker 1: totally well, I mean, okay, so fast forward to now,
Speaker 1: in what ways are you indulging in those? I mean,
Speaker 1: like maybe you think about like childbirth and child and
Speaker 1: you fucking child. He's not a child. I was telling
Speaker 1: she was like, oh, year old, and I'm like, don't
Speaker 1: you know a lot of whatever I'm during I feel
Speaker 1: so old. I need a baby three years between us.
Speaker 1: It's nothing. I told myself, you can't rough my first name.
Speaker 1: I called myself that when I'm talking to myself. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, you need to stop talking to people born
Speaker 1: after I was born in and people treat me like that.
Speaker 1: It's so like, it's so interesting this thing that's happening
Speaker 1: that happens a lot, which is like like how old
Speaker 1: are you? And I'm like twenty seven and they're like oh,
Speaker 1: and then it's like it's like I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: like I will wonder, it will very soon, so like
Speaker 1: it's okay, I'm also on my way there. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: But the thing is like it's you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize it because I would often be like, oh, why
Speaker 1: do you care? Seven five? It really is like E
Speaker 1: V Show references. That's all that's the difference. But it's
Speaker 1: a big one because I'd be like, oh, did you
Speaker 1: watch Recess or Pepper? And yes, okay, But then somebody
Speaker 1: who's like twenty four won't say, oh, I know what recesses? Okay,
Speaker 1: we we fell in that windows, that girl what's her name?
Speaker 1: What's her name? Pepper and Pepper insane? But there are
Speaker 1: it's interesting now, Like I think for me it happened
Speaker 1: when I was maybe I was like I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, I'm on the other side, and that made
Speaker 1: me feel weird and I expressed that out loud and
Speaker 1: someone was like, yeah, you're oh, oh, that's so sad
Speaker 1: because we're in New York. It's just like everywhere else,
Speaker 1: everybody understands the anxiety of being over because everywhere else
Speaker 1: is doing life a lot faster than we are, and
Speaker 1: there's a scriptive. Yeah, yeah, they have their stones count.
Speaker 1: So like, if you said this to somebody who's you're
Speaker 1: from Long Island, I'm sure the response would be different.
Speaker 1: And you know, like also people I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: imagining that person was an entertainment and yes they were.
Speaker 1: They like to do them. Yeah, Rule number one and
Speaker 1: two the performative. Um, I will say this has been
Speaker 1: fucking with me. One of my best friends from high school, Emily,
Speaker 1: is now fully like nine months pregnant, and it's crazy
Speaker 1: that she's married. I don't when she got married, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this is insane. And now
Speaker 1: another one of my best friend frid school was married
Speaker 1: and like probably gonna get a pregnant student and the
Speaker 1: engagements keep coming and everything. The pregnancy is what really
Speaker 1: got me, he said, was like, oh my god, some
Speaker 1: one that is my age that I went through a
Speaker 1: lot of things with is having a child and that
Speaker 1: will start to define their life going forward, and that
Speaker 1: makes that does make you question where you're at. My
Speaker 1: father had me late. My father was thirty five, my
Speaker 1: mother was twenty eight, which is funny because thirty five
Speaker 1: isn't really late, but it like is for them in
Speaker 1: that time. For I bet my dad was anxious at
Speaker 1: thirty s. I bet he was, like, I haven't really
Speaker 1: ever asked him that, but I bet that, you know,
Speaker 1: coming around to two, my dad met my mom when
Speaker 1: he was thirty four, Like, that's gotta be a thing,
Speaker 1: especially when his mother was seventeen when she had him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my mom was, and she had emigrated from Nigeria and
Speaker 1: I had a kid before. When I turned twenty eight,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, my mom had two
Speaker 1: kids and had left Africa and I am just figuring
Speaker 1: out how to make baked Maggie. I mean, are we
Speaker 1: assigning too much meaning to that necessarily? No, I don't
Speaker 1: think we are, because time is time and there's so
Speaker 1: much of it. But we're in a different time. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: But I think they're just you know, as even if
Speaker 1: you're like, fortunately that's not the case with my mom,
Speaker 1: but like even if you guys are like so different
Speaker 1: that you don't share the same values, even if that
Speaker 1: were the case, there's some ship that you grow up
Speaker 1: learning that's residual. And so I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: even though I know it doesn't matter that I didn't
Speaker 1: get this degree or like you know, didn't have kid
Speaker 1: here and whatever I know don't matter in the grand
Speaker 1: scop there. And I'm sure it doesn't even matter. She
Speaker 1: isn't I have a nephew, she has a grandkid. She's cool,
Speaker 1: But there's still something every now and then this shows
Speaker 1: up in the backy head. You're like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 1: were told Nightgerian women should be married, and it's ingrained
Speaker 1: in there somewhere, it's imprinted. I mean yeah, like my
Speaker 1: dad saying to me that, like he's the oldest out
Speaker 1: of his sibling, he's the oldest male, which means that
Speaker 1: his son me I technically carry the family line, even
Speaker 1: though I have an older male cousin on that side
Speaker 1: of the family. But he's the first so the so
Speaker 1: the male firstborn of the first son, your Prince William.
Speaker 1: I'm Prince William and so. And I was even because
Speaker 1: he was in town last night and I was even
Speaker 1: talking to him about this, and he brought that up,
Speaker 1: and I was like, but Dad, it doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 1: And I thought I was right and I was like,
Speaker 1: but Dad, I was I thought I was being so
Speaker 1: like progressive and I was like, but it shouldn't matter,
Speaker 1: and he goes, no, it does. And I was like
Speaker 1: him saying, no, it does. Is just it's it's it's
Speaker 1: like that rule in the rule book that you're like,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. But someone could say it,
Speaker 1: but it's for him, and it's like for him to
Speaker 1: have like beaten that into my psyche for so long
Speaker 1: like a he said, no it does. I was like,
Speaker 1: you're right, it does. I mean, I'll never forget the moment.
Speaker 1: And I remember the moment that I realized I was
Speaker 1: gay at eleven years old. I was getting into bed
Speaker 1: and I looked at the window and I was looking
Speaker 1: up at like I was like thinking about my day
Speaker 1: that day, and I remembered how playing in the pool
Speaker 1: with my friend and I was like, wow, I love
Speaker 1: my friend. I love when he comes over. I love
Speaker 1: like his back, I love like his back. I really
Speaker 1: want to touch his back. Oh yeah, it was. It
Speaker 1: was I'm a grown up, I'm a complex sexual being.
Speaker 1: Even at I was like still looking at long eyelashes
Speaker 1: out back. Oh no, I'm not cock. So basically, like
Speaker 1: I remember that that moment, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I want to funk my friend. I The first thing
Speaker 1: I thought was I won't have a son. No, I
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, I have a sister. I
Speaker 1: have a sister who will take someone else's name, and
Speaker 1: my family line quote unquote will die because my my
Speaker 1: dad has to um sisters and they didn't take they
Speaker 1: didn't care to, so the Rogers name would die. So
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was very similar to your situation. You still have
Speaker 1: Fred Rogers. He's out there in the universe somewhere. But
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is, I'll break this news
Speaker 1: Fred Rogers. I'm sure he's like super sweet kids, you
Speaker 1: know what. Yes, I would love to find out that
Speaker 1: I was just related. But in the meantime, I was like, oh, ship, Like,
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. That was my first number one concern
Speaker 1: was my god, my parents, specifically my father are going
Speaker 1: to be so mad when and so upset and disappointed
Speaker 1: when they find out that I am going to be
Speaker 1: the reason that our name and that is a thing
Speaker 1: you know that reminds me of a thing, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to be the annoying straight girl. So I was
Speaker 1: watching a bunch of Netflix documentaries during my break and
Speaker 1: there was a dock in the political section about you
Speaker 1: know that I can't remember what was it called outrage
Speaker 1: where they like talked about outing gay politicians who were
Speaker 1: working against Yes exactly. So that actually Larry Craig was
Speaker 1: the entry point into the documentary. And then they talked
Speaker 1: about a whole bunch of other Republican people because the
Speaker 1: documentary memory was made maybe oh night, um, so like
Speaker 1: they were talking about a whole bunch of other people
Speaker 1: who had been in cockers at the time that I
Speaker 1: had no clue about. But one of the things that
Speaker 1: resonated with me, and this is what what you just
Speaker 1: said reminded me of um, Jim McGreevy, who was the
Speaker 1: Jersey governor who was gay and he was about to
Speaker 1: be outed because he had hired this Israeli, unqualified Israeli
Speaker 1: guy to work and his administered station because he was
Speaker 1: having an affair with that guy. And he was married
Speaker 1: with children, and you know, you know how all these
Speaker 1: cheata as governors do, they bring they wives out and
Speaker 1: they're standing, they're sad and all of that. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: forgives me and she's like standing there like sad and
Speaker 1: won't you. But um, I think he resigned. He resigned
Speaker 1: because first he was the first, um they called him
Speaker 1: the first openly gay governor of New Jersey. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how if he's he had to come
Speaker 1: out because he all was about to get to it first.
Speaker 1: But um, so they went through the whole thing, and
Speaker 1: his wife, UM was not angry with him. She was
Speaker 1: embarrassed and and they divorced. But I think they have
Speaker 1: an amicable relationship at the moment. But one of the
Speaker 1: things he said that was like mind blowing, and I
Speaker 1: had never considered this before. He was like, you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I grew up in a Catholic family in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: Like when I figured out I was gay, we were
Speaker 1: super Catholic, and so like the place I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: go to find love, which is God, is really really
Speaker 1: harsh and critical of gay people. And he like talked
Speaker 1: about how, okay, well I can't learn about being gay
Speaker 1: and being a full human being at church, but let
Speaker 1: me go to the library to like hear about other
Speaker 1: gay people and learn about gay people. But you're a
Speaker 1: young kid in the seventies, ain't no books about dope.
Speaker 1: Gay people are not immediately accessible. And I was really
Speaker 1: struck by that because even if as a black woman,
Speaker 1: like people elsewhere tell me I'm not dope, I had
Speaker 1: black parents who countered that at the very least, and
Speaker 1: I could might be harder to find. But I grew
Speaker 1: up in East New York, Brooklyn. Yeah there were books
Speaker 1: for black kids there, But I can't imagine being I
Speaker 1: am unlike everybody I know and nothing. There's nothing that
Speaker 1: you can learn elsewhere. There's no Google. You have this
Speaker 1: in a whole other level than I have this. But
Speaker 1: it's like I just remember the horror of it being
Speaker 1: I could not see my future, Like I could not
Speaker 1: see a world where I was happy, or where I
Speaker 1: had any of the things that my parents had or
Speaker 1: any of my friends had, Like it was like you
Speaker 1: could not see it. Like like then, I remember when
Speaker 1: I was in high school, like the first celebrity, and
Speaker 1: I remember I had a strong infatuation with him because
Speaker 1: of this. But when Neil Patrick Harris became like a thing,
Speaker 1: when when he was there was like there was like
Speaker 1: a window there was a good window where he was hot.
Speaker 1: And you know why, It's because he was playing a
Speaker 1: straight character fucking lots of chicks. No, it was you
Speaker 1: think we've internalized. I think we have definitely internalized it.
Speaker 1: And I think the only reason he was even allowed
Speaker 1: to a be gay and it was like it's fine
Speaker 1: because because he was able to portray the smashing character.
Speaker 1: And I also think the only reason why his character
Speaker 1: was able to be as misogynistic as he was because
Speaker 1: everyone was like, he's actually gay, so we can play
Speaker 1: this game. So it was a weird area where like
Speaker 1: we kind of pretended this wasn't a CBS AS show,
Speaker 1: where it was a CBS A S show. Um, so
Speaker 1: you're saying Neil Patrick Harris to you, was like he
Speaker 1: was he was so important to me because he at least,
Speaker 1: even though it was a little fucked up, he at
Speaker 1: least represented some sort of homosexuality complex almost some sort
Speaker 1: of homosexual complexity, whereas that complexity is magic tracks exactly
Speaker 1: finally a gay man. And that is different from and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm actually being no, no, no, I know
Speaker 1: you are, but I know you understand. But but it's
Speaker 1: interesting because literally all we had before that was Will
Speaker 1: and Grace. Yeah, I was gonna bring up Roland Grace
Speaker 1: and oh we had before that was for the straight guy. Um.
Speaker 1: I wish I had seen as a child this vision
Speaker 1: of beauty Wong I r l at a New Year's part.
Speaker 1: I think I've talked about this in the pod before,
Speaker 1: but oh my god, what is this image's well, he's
Speaker 1: so adorable, the best icon for I love him on Sorry,
Speaker 1: I think about you. No, I'm a pre spu as bitch.
Speaker 1: See this is why we're talking about age different TV references.
Speaker 1: But there was a show called OZ. Yeah, I watched
Speaker 1: OZ in real time. I don't know where my parents were.
Speaker 1: They should have been raising you. You were watching in
Speaker 1: real time as a young like OZ finished when I
Speaker 1: was like if teen, And there were a lot of
Speaker 1: things I should never see. First of all, I saw stablers,
Speaker 1: but before a's neck it happened, yeah yeah, And then
Speaker 1: and then his boyfriend biting someone else's dick off and
Speaker 1: they were trying to rape him and it was crazy.
Speaker 1: But yes, I knew Chris Maloney was fine before everybody
Speaker 1: else stared. But also beat Wang was on OS. He
Speaker 1: was the priest who everybody would like go to to
Speaker 1: like you know, confess or like, um, you know, he
Speaker 1: would perform. I don't know. He never got in trouble
Speaker 1: like that. Um. He was actually like weirdly very very
Speaker 1: like the one of two, like pure, he was de sexualized.
Speaker 1: But but the framing around his de sexualization was his
Speaker 1: being a priest. And they had I don't remember specific episodes,
Speaker 1: but I do remember there being a storyline about a
Speaker 1: struggle to be a like absence of sex. Um, So
Speaker 1: I might have to revisit that. Don't beat them up
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there was like a there was at
Speaker 1: least a conversation with other with the prisoners about the
Speaker 1: struggle it is to take to de sexualize yourself to
Speaker 1: be a priest. But he was, Oh my god, he
Speaker 1: looks so good. He looks exactly the same. He looks
Speaker 1: the same age, and like, he's amazing. Jurassic World is
Speaker 1: the same as Dreassic Park. Yeah, he looks like I
Speaker 1: remember him from Jurassic Park. Oh yeah, he was in
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park. He plays the same character in Jurassic World.
Speaker 1: He had glasses in Durassic Park and the Glasses and
Speaker 1: Durrassic World, because all these like super hot men who
Speaker 1: are like so gorgeous and young looking like for Rell
Speaker 1: makes me dizzy, insane. It's in saying, it's like, what
Speaker 1: do you do? But that's rich people stuff. They drink
Speaker 1: in rish people water. You know who else? To Ryan Philippa,
Speaker 1: he does still look baby see everyone followed Ryan Philippin
Speaker 1: and also Weatherspoon. They both I mightna get back together.
Speaker 1: You know, only people aging like magicians. Have you seen
Speaker 1: their kids? Just daughter looks exactly like her and is stunning,
Speaker 1: and it's it's mind blowing that they have like seventeen
Speaker 1: year olds. So they were one of those young as
Speaker 1: married couples who had kids. They were like very young,
Speaker 1: like they got married at twenty or something. They were young.
Speaker 1: They were married anyway. Just this beady well image of
Speaker 1: his newest party two years ago. He just makes kanji
Speaker 1: like this porridge, just like savory Chinese porridge for everybody.
Speaker 1: But he's at his kitchen just wearing like other high
Speaker 1: heels like this fucking laced up all the way up
Speaker 1: to his knees. And I was like, and you think
Speaker 1: he had lipstick on and it was like you are
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, Like I went to his party, um,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry name drop going to be because because
Speaker 1: Joel told me once like heard a rumor that Beaty
Speaker 1: Wong hosts a brunch for a bunch of like media
Speaker 1: gag ins every week wonderful and Joel never like, we
Speaker 1: have to go to this, we have to go, And
Speaker 1: we kept tweeting him. One day we were like, is
Speaker 1: this true? Do you really have this brunch? And he
Speaker 1: was like l O L maybe and then and then
Speaker 1: friends and I think some co star with him on
Speaker 1: Gotham was like, oh, I'm going to his party. You
Speaker 1: should come with a works He's always yes, yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: And then um we went over there and he was
Speaker 1: just cooking and he was very sweet and um but
Speaker 1: I was like, but this is all to say. I
Speaker 1: wish I'd seen that as a kid because I knew
Speaker 1: were because shouldn't let you watch My parents let me
Speaker 1: get away with it some bullshit. Um, like they let
Speaker 1: me watch like fucking I mean, I wouldn't have cable,
Speaker 1: but they let me watch like Mad TV, which was
Speaker 1: like my dad watched Mad TV with me. All kinds
Speaker 1: of ship should it was bad and it was I think,
Speaker 1: I think because half the time, but they thought, oh
Speaker 1: it SNL and the and they recognized SNL. But and
Speaker 1: I thought I would parents and literally any parents. Mad
Speaker 1: TV came on. They were like, oh, this must be
Speaker 1: SNL and so but Man TV, we know something else.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know Mad TV. I like, I
Speaker 1: like when I think about Matt TV, I go, wow.
Speaker 1: I think I learned every stereotype, every type of from watch.
Speaker 1: And that's actually very impressive of the show to do,
Speaker 1: to be able to have so many Hackney I think
Speaker 1: I learned about white women from Nicole Sullivan doing Britney
Speaker 1: Spears and they did. Do you sometimes missed that I
Speaker 1: do miss like sometimes stupid, stupid, broad ass dumb because
Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't have general Oh my god, they
Speaker 1: didn't Cole Sullivan as Britney Spears. They did it behind
Speaker 1: the music mean, while she was shooting the video for
Speaker 1: a baby woman, Defer Wilson plays Brandy and like Brandy
Speaker 1: supposed to be a feature, and then Nicolet like, will
Speaker 1: you be in my video? And then defer Wilson his
Speaker 1: Brandy is like no as Brandy as Brandy. It was.
Speaker 1: The song was lick my Baby back behind Lick my
Speaker 1: Baby bed, and they changed the melodies just enough. When
Speaker 1: I saw my gon wait tad years old, Deborah was
Speaker 1: Mariah Carrey and she's like, and I'm crazy. The whole
Speaker 1: thing was just was crazy, crazy, crazy everywhere crazy. The
Speaker 1: game of all these sketches this bit crazy. You know.
Speaker 1: There was like two Matt TVs though, because I don't
Speaker 1: know this Keegan Michael Key. Oh. I didn't even get
Speaker 1: to Angela Johnston y'all, yeah, because I fell off after
Speaker 1: Airy Spears probably the first Airy Spears. I just remember
Speaker 1: a distinct sketch of him doing a Chris rock inmpression. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is this show is so bad. So he's doing
Speaker 1: a Chris Rocket pression and it's Chris. You know how
Speaker 1: Chris Rock had put out that song No Sex in
Speaker 1: the Champagne Room, so he like basically does at Cadence.
Speaker 1: It's not a song, I don't think, but he's like
Speaker 1: giving the what the names of the network television station
Speaker 1: stand for? And I've like vaguely because up n um
Speaker 1: c W is now UPAN and I loved You Pian.
Speaker 1: They had like a slew of really dope black shows
Speaker 1: for a long time, and so girlfriends. They had parks, Yes,
Speaker 1: they had Moitia, they had the Parkers, they had a
Speaker 1: bunch of There was also one called Homeboys and Out
Speaker 1: of Space that I really loved that I'm embarrassing, No,
Speaker 1: it's coonery a black don't watch it. I just love
Speaker 1: it because I think flex Alexander's the hottest dude ever.

Speaker 1: this isn't her stand up when what I mean like
Speaker 1: this she's doing a Vietnamese she specifically doing she does
Speaker 1: like a Vietnamese like Nelson was, Koreans do something, okay,
Speaker 1: but she she does this bit which was really like
Speaker 1: it was why her stand up was popular. It was
Speaker 1: because she was doing these accents to a Nel Salon
Speaker 1: and basically the girls that work with the Nelson talking
Speaker 1: to her and what they sounded like what they said,
Speaker 1: and that was her whole bit. And and people ate
Speaker 1: that shut up, like people ate that shut up. Both
Speaker 1: of her big things were like huge appropriation bits. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why she's not amount. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think Twitter that's why she was in my brain. I
Speaker 1: saw a picture of her on Twitter. She also has
Speaker 1: not aged at all. I wish at the master. She's
Speaker 1: very talented. She's super talented. It's just it sometimes makes
Speaker 1: you wonder, like what what is it that a like
Speaker 1: she never did anything again, like what it didn't that
Speaker 1: make you did someone? It's just not on the level
Speaker 1: as maybe you thought she was going to get because
Speaker 1: she had these huge moments. No, no, no, the black
Speaker 1: Twitter ripped apart like you have someone for a second
Speaker 1: was like is he Azelia's got a new single? And
Speaker 1: I was like, no, she doesn't. I was like, you
Speaker 1: think she does? Know she doesn't, has a career never existed.
Speaker 1: But the other day I was on my Spotify. I
Speaker 1: was listening to my Spotify and like I was on
Speaker 1: like an old playlist and then I all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it was like it was Black Widow, like hate
Speaker 1: you that one where she's just and I'm like listening
Speaker 1: to her wrap and I'm like, you are doing a
Speaker 1: crazy black Southern accent, which is insane. She's a tiny
Speaker 1: girl from Australia. It's her name is Amethyst. Insane what
Speaker 1: she's doing? She like she went to Houston then went
Speaker 1: to like who who did you know? It's crazy, It's
Speaker 1: it's insane to listen to it, and it is something
Speaker 1: that's very distracting too, like like blonde tips on metrosexuals
Speaker 1: will look back on ig the Frost, the Frost. Remember
Speaker 1: when white boys um that like in metrosexual age were
Speaker 1: like just bleaching the dip of their hair. They would
Speaker 1: jell their hair and just bleach the tip. I even
Speaker 1: knew at the time. I was like, I'm not doing
Speaker 1: that because there is no way that has staying power. No,
Speaker 1: do you um, oh my god, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of it. He didn't have just the tips though.
Speaker 1: Did you watch The Real World? No? Probably not, but
Speaker 1: The Real World in New Orleans the first one. What
Speaker 1: year was that? Do you know? It's probably like I
Speaker 1: really kind of started. Well, there was a gay a
Speaker 1: gay guy on that show too. He was the first.
Speaker 1: He was the first because I didn't see but he
Speaker 1: was the one who had a boyfriend who was in
Speaker 1: the military and they had to block His name is
Speaker 1: Danny and they had to block him block his boyfriend
Speaker 1: when his boyfriend came visit because it was still don't ask,
Speaker 1: Don't tell Era. That was like huge for me in
Speaker 1: terms of like seeing gay people, because I don't think
Speaker 1: I saw them before. It was like Ellen and him
Speaker 1: at the time, I think, um, but uh, but like
Speaker 1: uh yeah. There was a boy Matt, who was Mormon
Speaker 1: and but he like was really cute. And there was
Speaker 1: this girl Julie who was also some kind of evangelical
Speaker 1: or Mormon or something, and she had a crush on
Speaker 1: him because they were both virgins and she thought that
Speaker 1: they would like, you know, get married or whatever when
Speaker 1: I was but I just remember Matt being like, oh,
Speaker 1: like this like virgin nineteen year olds like Matt with
Speaker 1: the pretty boy lived but he like had the but
Speaker 1: he was like a natural blonde and he had the cut,
Speaker 1: you know. The backstreet they called Brian latreuelle. I don't
Speaker 1: think Brian no, no, no, but we call it that
Speaker 1: because of why not? Why not? Right? Exactly? It was
Speaker 1: the every boy band made up by Ron Proman, who's
Speaker 1: a using one person and at least one of these
Speaker 1: mand We want to get his name because he's a
Speaker 1: pedophile and we should all know his name. Ron Proman
Speaker 1: is Oh my god, I'm so sorry. He's the guy
Speaker 1: from Sons, his Anarchy, Beauty and the Beast. He's the like,
Speaker 1: he's the guy who's always let's just say he's a pedophile.
Speaker 1: No so good about being like woke on Twitter. Let's
Speaker 1: let's not. We can find somebody who like it's terrible,
Speaker 1: like loves Tron, we call him. I have someone who's
Speaker 1: terrible and you can and I want to talk about this. Okay,
Speaker 1: okay you Ray was at I don't think so Honey
Speaker 1: Live show. Yes, and here's the deal. You can listen
Speaker 1: to this on spoke right now or on the actual
Speaker 1: our feed, our podcast feed next week and about a
Speaker 1: week about a week when it will be on our channel.
Speaker 1: But Ray decided to go into the trouble and picked
Speaker 1: out Elizabeth Moss. Now, this is a bit who deserves
Speaker 1: to get red. And I've been thinking about this since
Speaker 1: you did your incredible I don't think it was amazing.
Speaker 1: I want to give full credit to Marsha Belski because
Speaker 1: Marcia was like having problems because Marsha was trying to
Speaker 1: watch handmaid Sale and she was like, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't get how she reconciles this. And also during the
Speaker 1: promotion for Handmad's til, she would say dumb sh it like, um,
Speaker 1: I'm not feminist, it's not a feminist story. This week, Um,
Speaker 1: someone commented on it. She did like Instagram and someone
Speaker 1: was like hi, um, and they asked you that question,
Speaker 1: like how do you reconcile your your faith with what's
Speaker 1: on the show, what's being depicted on the show. Don't
Speaker 1: you see some similarities. And she goes just a totally
Speaker 1: actual lead to this person and was, actually, Scientology is
Speaker 1: about open mindedness, and that's why that's what I really
Speaker 1: love about Scientology. Thank you. She said, what's most important
Speaker 1: to me is religious freedom. And I said to myself, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's walk this back for a second. Religious freedom. When
Speaker 1: I watch lah Remony Scientology and the aftermath, that does
Speaker 1: sound like nobody's freedom, which I do watch and I
Speaker 1: do believe because I watched these people on the show
Speaker 1: and their accounts are very emotional and seemed very honest
Speaker 1: to me, and their week after week after week they're
Speaker 1: talking about sexual abuse, imprisonment. Um David mims Kevic's wife, No,
Speaker 1: she appeared in the woods looking like ship six months ago.
Speaker 1: They found her in the woods and then she wasn't
Speaker 1: seen again. This is alleged. Is there were saying somehow
Speaker 1: there was a photograph of her being a Bronte Sisters novel.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. It's like you, I am so confounded
Speaker 1: by this because it's like someone's really got to sit
Speaker 1: down with her and look her in the face with
Speaker 1: a camera in her face and asked her this question,
Speaker 1: because how the fuck are you gonna have women coming
Speaker 1: forward with stories of sexual assault and sexual abuse, life
Speaker 1: long sexual abuse and assault and imprisonment, and you talk
Speaker 1: about religious freedom religious freedom despite that, I mean, wasn't
Speaker 1: she raised? She was raised, I don't think that's I
Speaker 1: don't think she was. You know what I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 1: Let's find out because I know the Masterson's are raised,
Speaker 1: which is what is letting let them get away? And
Speaker 1: like I's not letting, like and Beck was raised and
Speaker 1: who's Beck's wife ex wife, some um, somebody. I was
Speaker 1: very disappointed to find out what else as scientilogists. But like,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's okay because you're raised, But
Speaker 1: I feel about it how I feel about people who
Speaker 1: don't fight their Trump supporter parents and then like try
Speaker 1: to have it both ways. And Elizabeth Moss is just greedy,
Speaker 1: oh sure, because literally every one of her characters is
Speaker 1: a quote unquote feminist, every single Peggy, that shorty from
Speaker 1: Top of the Lake, the handmads tail. She's greedy, and
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if she thinks it's a good marketing thing
Speaker 1: or she identifies herself in these characters. I do not
Speaker 1: think she grew up a scientologist. M parents were scient
Speaker 1: producer Emma, Emma sometimes also amazing nails. Right now, I
Speaker 1: wanted to say, Hot Producer, Joe, are not with us
Speaker 1: right now? We have hot Emma and she's killing it,
Speaker 1: killing it and she's giving information off the top of
Speaker 1: her parents were. That means we think that she was
Speaker 1: raised in scientology. Yes, okay, I think it's Shorty from
Speaker 1: Orange is the New Black, the ex girlfriend Piper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she's married to a Masterson or was Man and
Speaker 1: the Master. No, she was married to the guy on
Speaker 1: that little Brother from malcol in the Middle. So there,
Speaker 1: Why do they just keep generating actors? That's so bizarre
Speaker 1: and but yeah, so I think it's the kind of
Speaker 1: thing where scientology is old enough for them to be grandchildren. Now.
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Moss is quoted as saying, um that she gives
Speaker 1: her the faith, gives her stability. It makes her feel
Speaker 1: like a better version of herself. Quote. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good way of saying it, because there's so much
Speaker 1: focus on the I guess empowerment and sort of respecting
Speaker 1: yourself and yourself as an individual. It's a better you,
Speaker 1: not necessarily changing who you are. I'm a big believer
Speaker 1: in taking what works for you from different things. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for that. So my friends
Speaker 1: may give me great advice or tough with my mother,
Speaker 1: but personal freedom is a very important concept of my religion,
Speaker 1: and I translate that to sexual orientation. I guess defending
Speaker 1: the gay community because because you know, unfortunately to get
Speaker 1: the Scientology's views on more than unfortunate. I mean, it's tragedy,
Speaker 1: but she's trying to just she's trying to have it
Speaker 1: both ways. And the factor matter, she's a fucking celebrity
Speaker 1: and they treat them differently, and that she can't see that,
Speaker 1: and the fact that she doesn't believe these women coming
Speaker 1: forward and not just one or two women. You know, hundreds.
Speaker 1: Did you watch that show? I only watched the pilot,
Speaker 1: but I was obsessed with it. Actually, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do right now when we leave, I'm going to
Speaker 1: watch the show. But that a show that was based
Speaker 1: on like Tom Cruise's story where they had that that
Speaker 1: really hot guy who was like trying to find a
Speaker 1: perfect Scientology wife. Oh, I've heard about that? What's that on?
Speaker 1: It was? And I watched the pilot and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is poorly written and I'm in love where they
Speaker 1: had this young hot guy. So the stories of the
Speaker 1: pilot at least was centered on this actress whose boyfriend
Speaker 1: she just found out was cheating on her, and she
Speaker 1: goes in front audition to play alongside this hot actor
Speaker 1: who is Tom Cruise's character basically um and then he
Speaker 1: doesn't pick her for the role, but he thinks she's
Speaker 1: the perfect public partner, and so basically they she like
Speaker 1: in the in the first episode, I don't know she
Speaker 1: I don't remember she takes it, but she basically he's
Speaker 1: offering her a contract to be his girlfriend for like
Speaker 1: ten years or being a relationship for ten years. It's
Speaker 1: basically Tom and Katie. And it was intense and crazy
Speaker 1: and I totally believe that. I totally I believe everything,
Speaker 1: and honestly, I just feel like, well, I definitely think
Speaker 1: she's going to lose the fucking Emmy over it. And
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's when I think you wanted to have
Speaker 1: social consequences for that, Well, the thing is like for her,
Speaker 1: here's the t I have a question. Sorry to cut
Speaker 1: you off. Just like I believe in social consequences for
Speaker 1: trans transgressions such as though, I'm very curious because I've
Speaker 1: been seeing this kind of self delusion happen where when
Speaker 1: you provide them those like social consequences or whatever, they
Speaker 1: turned themselves into martyrs. Like that Ted Nugent thing did
Speaker 1: you see where He's like, oh, I can't get into
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, the rock and roll Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame because I'm not PC enough. And that might be true,
Speaker 1: And then David Crosby was like, no, the Funker is
Speaker 1: just not good enough. But like, do you think they
Speaker 1: learned the lesson or you think they they they? I
Speaker 1: think what's important that what's important is that we we
Speaker 1: don't justify that ship. And if they want to talk
Speaker 1: about it like I didn't get on it for this reason,
Speaker 1: they can spin off into their own realms crazy and
Speaker 1: they still love that ship when there is evidence and
Speaker 1: social consequence for exactly. And I'm not saying that Himmaid
Speaker 1: Sale doesn't still do a great thing. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's not a great show. But there is
Speaker 1: a hypocrisy here which we must call out and she
Speaker 1: has to answer for because she seems like an intelligent person.
Speaker 1: She's an incredible actor and you can't. And also the
Speaker 1: way she was promoting the show matters too, because she
Speaker 1: was undercutting, ultimately the feminist message in there, because there's
Speaker 1: no way you can watch a handmade in stale and
Speaker 1: be like, that's not a feminist show. And she did
Speaker 1: come out eventually after all the controversy and say, I
Speaker 1: just want to say in caps, of course it's a
Speaker 1: feminist show. But what I wanted to say was it
Speaker 1: so much more than that, And that is the feminist misunderstanding.
Speaker 1: But that that that feminism is limited to the problem
Speaker 1: is and we still do this, and it's mind blowing
Speaker 1: and it offends me every time I see an article
Speaker 1: that's like, whoa girl's trip a hundred million dollars? Can
Speaker 1: you believe it? Yeah? They we can believe it. We've
Speaker 1: been telling you the whole time. First of all, if
Speaker 1: you have a starved demographic and you finally give them
Speaker 1: something good that they want, they're gonna come out and drove.
Speaker 1: So that's first. But second, women have buying power. It's
Speaker 1: women who will buy stuff that they see in ads.
Speaker 1: Maybe a white guy will say to a wife or
Speaker 1: a mom, go, I'm not being stereotypical I'm just talking
Speaker 1: about research that they'll say, hey, I saw this thing
Speaker 1: I want. So if if a network or a movie
Speaker 1: or a TV show is aiming at their eighteen thirty
Speaker 1: five white mills that they always aim for, they have
Speaker 1: to realize that those aren't buying the ship that the
Speaker 1: advertisers are China. But there's just this not natural but
Speaker 1: there's just this American and Western and you know everything
Speaker 1: now because Westerners did whatever they wanted to do with
Speaker 1: every part of the world, but this natural desire to
Speaker 1: please and impress white, straight male audiences, Like there's no
Speaker 1: way that you did the handmaids Tale experience the character
Speaker 1: that you experienced you yourself for a woman, and say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not just a feminist show or it's not an
Speaker 1: entirely feminist shows for everybody. If somebody at your network
Speaker 1: wasn't in your ear whispering, don't alienate white boys, and
Speaker 1: that's bullshit. It's bullshit because they don't even buy the
Speaker 1: products that Hulu has the ads for. I just like,
Speaker 1: be beholden to that, because that's the validation. I am
Speaker 1: still craving a real answer to that question because she
Speaker 1: is not only once, not only twice several times with
Speaker 1: Top of the Leg Mad Men, and now most crucially
Speaker 1: and most currently Handmaid's Tale, representing the is like really
Speaker 1: feminist iconic characters, and it's this hypocrisy behind it, and
Speaker 1: I think he's like, so ship. Yeah, I know you
Speaker 1: mentioned that. I tried to watch it, and I thought
Speaker 1: the same thing, although the second season has called him
Speaker 1: in which I was gig, but I haven't watched it.
Speaker 1: Her best role was playing the daughter of a patient
Speaker 1: on grades, and she was the overbearing I didn't even
Speaker 1: know she was on grade. It's like first or seconds.
Speaker 1: This is like season three. I remember the fucking old
Speaker 1: lady whose bones turned into stone like petrified bones. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Yes, her daughter was Elizabeth Moss, who was
Speaker 1: this like who had the dollhouse and had those dolls
Speaker 1: and was crazy and she was like so overbearing to
Speaker 1: the to the doctor. I don't remember this, but I
Speaker 1: will go back on watching if you can send me. Yes. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: But it bothers me so much because she is so
Speaker 1: she's great. She's great. It's confusing someone someone. I read
Speaker 1: an article the other day that was like talking about
Speaker 1: her as like the number one actress in the entire
Speaker 1: world in terms of prestigious television. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't argue with that. That's not that's not a
Speaker 1: false clam you can't argue with that. I mean, she
Speaker 1: was the lead actress on mad Men, and now the
Speaker 1: Handmad's tale you cannot argue with Well, that's debatable. If
Speaker 1: she was the lead on mad Man, it depended on
Speaker 1: the season, depended on this season. Were a fan, of course, yes, um,
Speaker 1: And it's embarrassing, but I love January Jones. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: She actually was perfect in that part. I don't know
Speaker 1: she was being well, yes, wasn't. But casting is acting, y'all,
Speaker 1: Like you think any of these people could act well? Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1: But I also worry though, because I don't know if
Speaker 1: she knew what Betty met exactly and fat Betty. I
Speaker 1: think it was comedic that Betty was like, I don't
Speaker 1: think it was meant to necessarily be that comedic. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't have fat Betty. That's your problem, you. January Jones.
Speaker 1: Feeling the discomfort in that suit is what made me.
Speaker 1: It was not her being the character being fat. It
Speaker 1: was just January Jones failing at this assignment. I don't
Speaker 1: think think. I think January. Jones actually never felt that
Speaker 1: the assignment the part was so close. I don't know
Speaker 1: there was. There were kind of times like it took
Speaker 1: me three seasons. Spoiler alert, I'm about to spoil mad Man.
Speaker 1: It's been over. But so when she figures out that,
Speaker 1: um that Donn is Dick, there's that this is the
Speaker 1: this is when I turned. I have a lot of these.
Speaker 1: I'm a Searcy fan too, because there's these things where,
Speaker 1: first of all, like women are not allowed to be
Speaker 1: anti heroes the way that men are. There are female
Speaker 1: anti heroes, but they don't get celebrated the way that
Speaker 1: male anti heroes do. But there's always a moment where
Speaker 1: there's a woman that I'm supposed I'm being written into
Speaker 1: hating and then she does some ship and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm witch you, bitch forever with that scene, the scene
Speaker 1: where so she finds a drawer, yes so season three,
Speaker 1: I would think, and she opens the King and don
Speaker 1: comes home, and there's just something about the way she
Speaker 1: says open it, open it, and I'm like, I'm with
Speaker 1: you be terrible to Sally forever, I love you. I
Speaker 1: had that moment with Serasy like four seasons ago, I'm
Speaker 1: which bitch, I'm never gonna leave you alone. There was
Speaker 1: this There was this scene where there was two scenes
Speaker 1: where I love January Jones forever and it was this.
Speaker 1: It was there was a scene I think it was
Speaker 1: like season one or two where she uh for some
Speaker 1: business dealing that Don's done, like January Jones gets to
Speaker 1: model again, and so they bring her in and they
Speaker 1: put her in all the fancy clothes and they sell
Speaker 1: her the shot she's gonna be on, and they do
Speaker 1: test and they put her in makeup, and then they
Speaker 1: say they put an necklace on her, and then they
Speaker 1: say at the end of the episode because of something
Speaker 1: that Don's done, and she doesn't know this, and they say,
Speaker 1: we're so sorry didn't work out or actually going to
Speaker 1: have to tell you that you have to leave said
Speaker 1: and we're her take the necklace. So she says, oh,
Speaker 1: that's okay, it's okay, that's totally fine, I understand, and
Speaker 1: as they're taking the necklace off of her, her face
Speaker 1: just breaks and she just like she just like she's
Speaker 1: so disappointed in her. And I was like, I gotta
Speaker 1: give it to her right there. She made me feel
Speaker 1: it for a character that you're not supposed to feel
Speaker 1: it for which is the whole key. And then the
Speaker 1: second one was the end of second season. I think
Speaker 1: it was she realizes that Donna has been cheating and
Speaker 1: she looks at him and she turns to him and
Speaker 1: she's like such a child, and she's such an she
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to process herself emotionally, and I thought
Speaker 1: this line was written so well, and nothing's a mistake
Speaker 1: with the writing on that show. She just goes, I
Speaker 1: want to scream at you, and she it was like
Speaker 1: this pause between I want and then what she was
Speaker 1: going to say because she was scared like child. I
Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, this is like such a real thing.
Speaker 1: Is oh my god, is Betty Draper Sertazife? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: If Betty was empowered to be cruel, she might be service?
Speaker 1: And then who's Jamie? No, ro Don doesn't exist exactly. Wait,
Speaker 1: but there's also I loved Betty in Italy. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Betty? And it's so wonderful when she felt him,
Speaker 1: she felt She's I'm learned. I'm going to speak Italian.
Speaker 1: Those were happy episodes that was post like when they
Speaker 1: were about to divorce. But you know, Don was still
Speaker 1: being greedy and that was their escape episode. And then
Speaker 1: when the episode so set because they got back to America,
Speaker 1: watched that. No, no, no, because I actually think that
Speaker 1: Madman is the best television trouble. I Suitcase's incredible work.
Speaker 1: I think that. I remember I'm that season three finale.
Speaker 1: It's called shut the Door, Have a Sea. I think
Speaker 1: it's one of the best. It's like a caper movie almost.
Speaker 1: It's incredible and there's like taking over the Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: so many episodes of that show which are just beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 1: And what I what I was thinking about Men and
Speaker 1: the other day is it was able to become one
Speaker 1: of the greatest television stories of all time in my opinion,
Speaker 1: without being violent, without being without being over the top,
Speaker 1: without being super sexualized. I mean, I was thinking about
Speaker 1: that show, and yes, it's true there was and I
Speaker 1: was thinking there was a rape on that show, um,
Speaker 1: because I get Greg, And then I don't know if
Speaker 1: there was another one. Because if we're thinking, if we're
Speaker 1: thinking about Peggy, she was always comit, not complicit. She
Speaker 1: was always um consenting with Peter. Um. Okay, so, but
Speaker 1: but so many of these shows that are like this
Speaker 1: is the greatest television of all time, and like it's
Speaker 1: like gross and violent, and like so many women are
Speaker 1: getting raped in these shows and it's like a game
Speaker 1: with those it's just like so out of control. But
Speaker 1: Big Little Lives was a comment on I actually defend
Speaker 1: Big Little Lies. I just like it. I like what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. There was there was a violence and beyond
Speaker 1: even just the domestic abuse, like like they kill a man,
Speaker 1: which right, popular opinion alert, Nicole didn't do it. From me,
Speaker 1: that's okay to have that opinion to my to my
Speaker 1: oh yeah you to your credit, you you put race
Speaker 1: over Nicole. Yes, if I have a ballot in my
Speaker 1: hands every day. First of all, I had a like,
Speaker 1: oh I didn't know I like this. I had one
Speaker 1: of those. And two she basically plays Flicker Flicker. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking sick. No, Sicky Flicker is a cast member on
Speaker 1: the House Eivees of New Jersey. Um. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: Tracy Flick as a grown up somehow not obnoxious, even
Speaker 1: with the obnoxious as kids that she had. And I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie if my man left me for Zoe Kravis,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a problem because I'm never gonna feel
Speaker 1: good about myself again, you know, because you can always
Speaker 1: be like if a man cheese on you, you can
Speaker 1: always be like, I have the moral high ground. Yes,
Speaker 1: he ain't ship. But then you see Zoe Kravicy, like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's doper than me. Oh man, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: There's someone in the fairest of them all. But then
Speaker 1: she was a murderer. It's been and I say season
Speaker 1: one because I truly hope for a second they are
Speaker 1: bringing one back, but I'm not again, I'm not with
Speaker 1: the second. I will watch. Yeah, but what stories that
Speaker 1: we need? We need the back story of Zoe Kravitz,
Speaker 1: We need what's going to watch being a murderer? Oh
Speaker 1: excuse me, it was self defense? Self defense or well,
Speaker 1: it's quite a blurred line there. I'm so happy to
Speaker 1: talk about Big Little Lives again because when it was on,
Speaker 1: it was my everything, and now my everything is fucking
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise, and I hate myself. Oh I tried
Speaker 1: to watch The Bachelor one season. I watched a season
Speaker 1: of one of them. I can't remember, and I look.
Speaker 1: I love trash reality team and I can even stomach
Speaker 1: and overproduced show like the Kardashians is so overproduced. It's
Speaker 1: mind blood. But I don't do well with secondhand embarrassment,
Speaker 1: Like if you're doing something embarrassing, I feel it in
Speaker 1: my body. Can't do and Bachelor at Bachelor, all of
Speaker 1: it is so embarrassing for me when I watched, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like how the cringe humor of the office
Speaker 1: are being I feel that watching it, watching Bachelor in Paradise,
Speaker 1: and it's worse because it's real. Yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Necessarily it's always real, but I don't. The
Speaker 1: part of it that I don't like is, at least
Speaker 1: on those shows, they're scripted. It's deliberate. I cannot tell
Speaker 1: if the people on the Bachelor feel what I'm feeling. Right,
Speaker 1: it's it's like when and they are so cool about it.
Speaker 1: The editors, they're like showing someone being like, I am
Speaker 1: so excited about this stage because she's going to say
Speaker 1: that she loves me when I tell her I love
Speaker 1: her back, and it is going to be the best
Speaker 1: moment in my life. And then cut to the other one.
Speaker 1: I really feel like so sad that I have to
Speaker 1: tell him that I don't love him, and it is
Speaker 1: so sad. And then you see them come together, and
Speaker 1: you're like, well, this is the worst moment of his life,
Speaker 1: her life, and my life. I mean, bad for all
Speaker 1: parties involved. I'll never forgive Rachel Linty never. But also
Speaker 1: she also, like, just objectively speaking, because I saw the
Speaker 1: Halle blue about the choice she picked the less hot guy,
Speaker 1: the less hot guy. And also, but also to be real,
Speaker 1: I do follow them on Instagram and they seem very happy.
Speaker 1: So her kissing him, maybe it's all good. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: maybe I was just that mascot. He's an asshole. He
Speaker 1: calls himself a physician. He's a chiropractors. God you are.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He shouldn't do that. Chiropractors are not doctors.
Speaker 1: There you go. You heard it here. First, um, let's
Speaker 1: move on. We're gonna move on to I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: So this is the segment of the show you may
Speaker 1: be familiar with. It's where we take one minute to
Speaker 1: rail against culture. We take one specific that of culture
Speaker 1: that is just kind of what would you say, just
Speaker 1: getting at just it just pops our boils on our skin,
Speaker 1: and you know, usually we'll be thankful for that, but
Speaker 1: in this case we're not. I'm not thankful. No, let
Speaker 1: my boil rest rest. Do you want to go first
Speaker 1: or do you want me m I can go first
Speaker 1: because so I can speak from the heart. Great. So
Speaker 1: this is Matt Rodgers is I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: and his time starts now. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Canker sores, why just explain to me why why God
Speaker 1: is a god that I have to ask because there
Speaker 1: is no reason why so canker stores. And I want
Speaker 1: to say, they are not cold sores, bitch, and is
Speaker 1: not heard black stars one on my mouth. It is
Speaker 1: canker stores. And I guess they come on with stress.
