1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Okay, podcast starts now. Wow Hello, Wow Wow. Borat is

2
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: on the pod today. Um, hello all, Welcome to Stradia Lab,

3
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: the only podcasting which two gay guys unpack um straight

4
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: culture but also don't do that at all. Um, George,

5
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: that was really succinct and concise. Well, you know, I'm

6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: trying to work on my succinctness and my conciseness. You know,

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: somebody did tweet about our earnestness bonanza once they said, uh,

8
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, I love hearing a podcast that takes twenty

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: five minutes talking about what it's about to do and

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: then wondering if I should listen to the rest of

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: the podcast. They actually did, and I was like, well,

12
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I can't tell if you hate it or like it,

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna like it so that I'm going to

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: take ownership and pretend that this is positive. A common

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: theme for us is that our positive reviews uh insult

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: us to our at our core. And you know, I

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: would like to issue the Stradio Lab challenge. If you

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: have not reviewed our podcast yet, go ahead and head

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: to Apple and write the meanest ship you can possibly

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: think of, and we will interpret it as a good thing.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't want right right, something that I don't want.

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't want people to like ruin our Like you

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: still should still give us five stars, and you should

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: still make it seem like you're part of a really

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: cool inside joke that other people should want to be

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: a part of. Like I don't want people to like

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: review it and be like this sucks ass. But I

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: do think the Stradio Lab challenge is to neg us

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: in the review. Yeah, that is definitely find a way

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: find a way to insult us in the review while

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: also drumming up buzz for our hot gay podcast are

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Hot Gay and needless to say succinct podcast to sinct.

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: I did like that that we kept talking about being

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: succinct and concise, which are essentially synonyms, meaning we were

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: not being neither succinct nor concise. By mentioning both of

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: them in the same sentence. It's a real you know

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like and you were like, oh,

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: my year's solution is to be succinct and concise. It's like, well,

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: you're all or you're not doing a great job. Well

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, the beginning of the year, you're

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: still trying to be trying to get rid of old habits.

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: I know. You know, one thing I do find, unfortunately funny,

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: is when I just say the same thing using different

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: words over and over again. It's one of the funniest thing.

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I genuinely agree with you, and I think it's one

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: of the funniest things to be like, you know, I'm

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: doing well and also good and need let's just say

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: better than bad, like I mean, yeah, yeah, that that's

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: to make the word, to make the third one a

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: multi word synonym. I mean, that's just genius to go

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: good and well and also needless to say what was

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the last one? Better than bad? Better than bad and

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and and you know, someone who doesn't have the talent

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: that you have would have said not bad, because that's

55
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: the direct antonym. But to do but to say better

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: than bad, First of all, you're doing the rule of threes.

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Second of all, you're doing a more complicated third one,

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: which is good. And then saying better than bad is like, okay,

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: well you're no longer good, you know. I, Um, are

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: we doing a good job of being succinct and concise?

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: Do you think? Of course? Of course? Um? Yeah. As

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: I've always said, I got into stand up comedy as

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: a way to meet shlubs, you know, you know, big

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: guys and plaid shirts. That's always been my goal. But

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I also think part of me, the part that was

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: not my choice, was the fact that I do just

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: generally sometimes have trouble forming sentences, and I think, you know,

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: it kind of passes as comedy because people are like, wow,

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he got there, but it's really, um not that on purpose? Yeah,

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: well it would. It is true that often UM being

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: more succinct and more concise would actually make something less funny.

72
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean in many ways, yeah, I think. Well, I

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: mean just now you said in many ways, yeah it would.

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: That's more funny than saying I just said, yeah that affirmative.

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what am I the Daily? What am I

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: apes ap? I mean, listen, first of all, let me

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: just say The Daily could stand to be a little

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: worse thing, necnd sized. Okay, okay, shots fired. Um, I

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: love that. Uh. I listened to Michael Barbara this very

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: morning and I swore him off. And I know, I mean,

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: he really is talk about an addiction. I can't kick

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: this guy. I sometimes I'm listening to him and I'm like,

83
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: why are you even saying? Like who who elected you

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: the voice of my morning. I didn't vote on you,

85
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: no um putin. I do think I've been I haven't.

86
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: I have not listened to Michael Barbara consistently in truly years.

87
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: But you know, when I will listen to him, I

88
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: will suddenly wake up, Like the day of the Georgia

89
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: runoff election, I suddenly will wake up and for the

90
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: first time in six months, be like, I have to

91
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: listen to Michael Barbara. That is exactly what I did.

92
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: And because you know, you want to feel something. When

93
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: you want to feel something, when there's joy, when there's

94
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: good news, you want to be like, Okay, I'm gonna

95
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: relish in this a little like give me the New

96
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: York Times podcast production of this good news and let

97
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: me really feel it. And I'll and I'll say this

98
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the news ecosystem, and I'm not

99
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: talking about you know, real journalism, like a report about

100
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: war crimes. I'm talking about, uh, the ecosystem that is

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: cable news, social media and and kind of daily podcasting.

102
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: It really is a heart You have to go with

103
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: a harm reduction model. You know you're going to consume

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: some of it, but you can't. You can't drown, and like,

105
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: if you just allow yourself to ambiently be watching cable

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: news while also being on Twitter, you're gonna kill yourself.

107
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: So I do you think the daily in despite the

108
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: fact that it's not necessarily sustinct or concise, you know

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: at least it's going to be over in twenty minutes

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: and then you can you can move on. You have

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: permission to move on. You have permission to move on.

112
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: You're not making a huge commitment. You're not saying I'm

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: going to stick around here for three hours. You're saying

114
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: this is gonna be twenty minutes and then I'm done

115
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: with it. I sorry that this might be boring and

116
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: potentially not comedy. Um, however, bring back newspapers. I mean,

117
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I know they're still around, but but bring them back

118
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: as the only option. Like I was, I don't as

119
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: I was talking about I have you know, I doom

120
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: scroll on Twitter. I do just want every morning to

121
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: have like my news half hour and then be done

122
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: with it. Do you know what's crazy? It's like that

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: is a possibility not not in my life, that's available

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: to you for me. Yeah, well, how will I make

125
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: incredible topical Joe on the day's trending topics. George, Oh,

126
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: I see, okay, how will when these war crimes unfold

127
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: by our beautiful investigative journalists, will I make a hilarious

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: riff on Twitter about it? If I'm not aware of it,

129
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: If I'm making a joke about war crimes, I'm not

130
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: doing my job. And if I'm not doing my job,

131
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: the people aren't getting their satire. And if people don't

132
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: get their satire, that's fascism, that's Trump, that's Trump, that's gossip,

133
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: that's gossip. Well, I think we should bring in our guests.

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Let's bringing our guests. I think we've said more than enough,

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: and we're being succinct and remain succinct and concise. Now,

136
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: this is someone who I would say is the just

137
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: the right level of succinct and just the right level

138
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: of concise. Yeah, and it's also currently bathed in kind

139
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: of a gorgeous I would say magenta or fusha, No,

140
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: not fusha. What what what would you call that? Sam? I

141
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: would say pink, yes, and a gorgeous maybe even electric pink.

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: In fact, quit t it's it's pink, George, pink. It's

143
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: it's a pinkish, it's a purplish pink. You know it's

144
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: it's the color of the singer Pink's hair back when

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: she was still trying to do hip hop. Yes, and

146
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: and Sydney agrees, And ladies and gentlemen, let's get started. Okay,

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: Sydney Washington is here, and I am this thing, and

148
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: I am on time, and I'm loving it. This is

149
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: the energy. I didn't want to put you on the pop,

150
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: but the journey for us from the moment we asked

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: you to the podcast to the moment we pressed record.

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, James Cameron should write a movie

153
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: about it. I can mediate this conversation if you guys

154
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: want to get into what happened, well, I just want

155
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: to say up top, the whole thing was racist and homophobic,

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: just the whole interaction. Not us, but just like the

157
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: energy like trying to stop us from creating this beautiful podcast.

158
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to listen to you exactly. It was just

159
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: so many things that were no, no, no, no, no,

160
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: this is not going to happen. Right. Well, people talk

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: about shadow banning, and I do think that's maybe what's happening,

162
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: because it is at every stage we were betrayed by

163
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: the platforms we trusted most and I'm talking I'm talking

164
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I Message, I'm talking Gmail, I'm talking zen Cast, the

165
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: platform we used to record, I'm talking about Zoom. I'm

166
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: talking more broadly Apple because of the because your air

167
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: prods would connect. Every single tech company said, no, we

168
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: don't want three queer three members of the queer community

169
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: to talk about UH, to talk about facts, to talk

170
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: about feelings, culture, culture, talk about culture, and two a

171
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: pine about things. Well, nevertheless, we're here. We're here. Wait

172
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: you know what, hold on, let me just I'll make

173
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: it really quick. So George messages me through my message.

174
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Originally his name was in there as George and um,

175
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: unfortunately somebody has a number that's similar to his. I

176
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: change his name to the person's name. So I originally thought.

177
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, George wants me to do his podcast.

178
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: And then my other friend, Zadia, who I didn't even

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: know how to podcast, also wants me to do the

180
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: podcast on the same day. George emails me to confirm

181
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: the time, and I was like, oh wow, I have

182
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: two podcasts at the same time. So I tell George.

183
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, we have to cancel that

184
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: time and do it another, we have to do it

185
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: later because I have this other podcast at for our

186
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: clock podcast does not exist. Literally, this is like what

187
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: what movie is? What? It's like Mrs Doubtfire. It's like

188
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Mrs Doubtfire And on text, I am what's your friend's name?

189
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: Zadia is my Mrs Doubtfire character that I use on text,

190
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: And then and then I'm George on Gmail. So literally

191
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: the conversation goes as follows. I said, let me know

192
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: if if four or five thirty pm works best? You

193
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: said five pm. This is on text. I said perfect,

194
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: I'll email you with details and a zoom link. George

195
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: definitely emailed me right after with literally right after emailed okay.

196
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Then I get it and I emailed saying confirming for um.

197
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: Then you text, wait, can I do it at four?

198
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: I have another podcast at five thirty? Then I said, okay,

199
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: give me one sec to check. I go, I reschedule

200
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: with our other guests, and then I email you updated

00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: is it at five thirty or four? To which I say,

Speaker 1: I'm free at five thirty because that was our original time.

212
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: So then I say, okay, we'll switch it back cut

Speaker 1: to today at four pm when you text me didn't

215
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: zoom link and I say it's for five thirty, but

216
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: here you go, and then you reply, no, remember I

217
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: needed it at four. Oh my god, George, what were

218
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: you saying to Sam? I know you were talking ship.

219
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: I was not talking. I was admittedly I was like,

220
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I think something is wrong with Sydney,

221
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: like the Sydney. It literally was like something is off here,

222
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: like this is someone I've known for years. At first

223
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: it was like Sydney's like having a lot of scheduling, scheduling.

224
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I guess you know, she's big time.

225
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: And then it was like, wait, something's up, like this

226
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: is not normal in any way. You know what it is.

227
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Sydney was acting like a straight person. That's what it was.

228
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: It was straight. It was straight behavior because I was like,

229
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: are you playing mind? It was straight behavior of like

230
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: you're my boss at the at the big company and

231
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: at the big firm, and it's my and I'm the intern,

232
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: and you say, and you say, and you're playing these

233
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: mind games with me. And then right of I'm about

234
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: to crack, you say, can handle it. You know what

235
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: it is. It was so like the communication was wrong.

236
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: I was absent minded. I was not the fact that

237
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I changed your name and to somebody else's that. But

238
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: you have to say, as much as I want to,

239
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: and you know in this podcast we always blame systemic

240
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: problems and not and do not succumb to the language

241
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: of personal responsibilities as much as I want to blame

242
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: the tech companies, the fact that you went in and

243
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: changed my name, your name, George, that have you changed

244
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: Have you checked Zaudia's number? Like? Is that as George?

245
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Like I didn't even save her number? Is gone? Not

246
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: a stage, not saved at all. I also love I mean,

247
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if Zaudia maybe a comedian and maybe

248
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it's not crazy, but I love you just had a

249
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: a billion You're far away from comedy as that is

250
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: an essential worker. Zodia is literally a nurse on the

251
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: front lines of the pandemic. And Sidney's like, oh, I

252
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: guess she has a podcast and no questions asked can

253
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: you do? Like can you actually make it five thirty

254
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: because I have no podcast before, Like I love that?

255
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: Who am I? I don't know, I'm sorry. I would

256
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: like to formally apologize for now not only taking up.

257
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: So it took us, like it took us twenty minutes

258
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: just to get the podcast started on my end. Well

259
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: that was the other thing. Well, there are three elements

260
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: of this one which is no one's fault. But one

261
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: is that we've been trying to get you on this

262
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: podcast for maybe six months, and each time we reschedule,

263
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's no one's fault. But each

264
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: time then we kind of like go back to our

265
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: list and then we like remember you, we remember again,

266
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: and we like get back to you two months later.

267
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: So it's been six months of trying to get you on.

268
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Finally we do get you on. There's this entire I

269
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: mean truly um, who's first type or deal? Then we

270
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: get on and then you're two different pairs of headphones.

271
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Don't work for you. This is straight behavior, I'm telling you.

272
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: At first we were going to talk about TikTok, but

273
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I really feel like since we've already we're twelve minutes

274
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: in on just how I started this podcast off, we

275
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: could talk about the old me, which was straight. I

276
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: used to be straightforward, used to be straight, and you

277
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: know what I do. I do want to I do

278
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about that, but I want to say

279
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: one thing, which is I'm thinking of what you're saying,

280
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: which is that you are exhibiting straight behavior. And I

281
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: think what it is is I'm and I promise I'm

282
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: not saying this to drag you, but the trade element

283
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: is having showing a difficulty with simple tasks behavior. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

284
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: go off, George. Let me. We've all been there. We've

285
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: all been so often we we I mean, I'm trying

286
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: to think of like the most recent It's like someone

287
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: will give you very simple instructions and you will somehow

288
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: not get it in your head completely. It's it's it's humiliating.

289
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: It's so real and it's just like I will say

290
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: that my communication is so much better now as a

291
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: lesbian that I would have these issues with um straight

292
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: men where I would say something and I was like,

293
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: how do they not get I'm saying it very right,

294
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm precise, I'm concised, you know what is the deal? Right?

295
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: And now I am a straight man? Yes, well it's

296
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe the topic then is like something along

297
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: the lines of um communication, what is the straight topic?

298
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: It's like, I think genius, but then it's like it's

299
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: like lack of communication. Miscommunication. Yes, yes, literally, great culture

300
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: is a series of miscommunications. Beautiful And I just want

301
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: to also put together how we collaborated. This is very gay,

302
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: that exactly exactly because it has brought our minds together

303
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: and the fact that we're you know, they're there to

304
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: um you know, beigement and a black woman involved. This

305
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: is the gayest thing that can ever possibly happen in history. Yes,

306
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the gayest thing is two white men, but it is

307
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: it is like what you're saying, it's like gay we

308
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: are doing what we're doing that was collective meaning making

309
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: and that's why there's no miscommunication because we're arriving at

310
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: concepts together, whereas the straight way is everyone is in

311
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: their own little brain constantly trying to talk at one another,

312
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: but no one's actually communicating. And here's what I will

313
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: say to say the other side, Um, you know, just

314
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: just so we can prove our point. Well, you know,

315
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: I know a lot of improvisers who spent a lot

316
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: of time in those basements that UCB Chelsea, who are

317
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: very straight, and they would say, well, hey, hey, wait

318
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: a minute, we collaborate, we come up with collective ideas.

319
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Is that not straight? But the thing is, what are

320
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: the I'm sorry, but when you're at an improv show,

321
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: let's say a straight improv show, what are the ideas

322
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: they're coming up with. They're so problematic and at jetting,

323
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: and the people involved, unless they're straight, are looking around

324
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: like do we do this right? I remember, yes, you're

325
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: totally right. I remember thinking he was fully groundbreaking to

326
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: see like a straight guy improvised sucking another straight guy's dick.

327
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: Like I was like, he's not even like thinking it's gay.

328
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, that's that's bad. But you know,

329
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: and I do think Sydney, you're pointing to something very interesting,

330
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: which is that when straight people do come together to

331
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: come up with one idea, it ends up being a

332
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: problematic So it's like they came everyone came together, came

333
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: up with the idea. What was that idea? Racism? What

334
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: was that idea? Homophobia? The capital in the capital like that,

335
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: It's like finally we got together and there was no miscommunication.

336
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: It's like, well, maybe would have a better if there was.

337
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: Can we just talk about the capital for two seconds? Okay,

338
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I believe, I personally believe not a gay person in sight,

339
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: not attractive person inside. It was all heterosexuals that never

340
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: take a shower, are dressed properly. They all came together

341
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: to say we belong in this building and we are

342
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: going to change some ship up psychotic. To keep in mind,

343
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: this will be coming out in two weeks um, which

344
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: you know we can still talk about it, but just

345
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: keep in mind. I know I am worried, like this

346
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: will be going on for whiwing Honey, They're not gonna

347
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: it's true. You know said your episode is coming out

348
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: the day before the inauguration. Okay, this is you. You

349
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: should have started with that. Why do you why this

350
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: is the last Okay, if you're hearing our words, right,

351
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: now this is the last day of the drum presidency

352
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: in theory. Oh my god, oh my gosh, wow. An

353
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: episode of queer collective meaning making to celebrate the beginning

354
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: of a new the dawn of a new era. That's right,

355
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's America. Whoa, that's actually insane. I had a

356
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: goal when Trump got elected that I was gonna be

357
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: fucking ripped as ship on the other end, and um,

358
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: it actually didn't come true because and you know, I'm

359
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: making an excuse right now, and there's no space for

360
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: excuses in my workout routine. But it's because of the

361
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: pandemic and I don't go to gym's anymore. But it's all.

362
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: But also you have to look at the people who

363
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: do have like ripped bodies and abs, and they actually

364
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: look kind of sad, you know, like just it's just like,

365
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: who is this y No, no, no, no, no, that's

366
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: not true. That's not true. No no no, no, no, no no, no.

367
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Don't know what kind of wickcraft is going on. I

368
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: want to know. I watched Top Model, I know, so

369
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: it's literally that you know your angles, I suck in.

370
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: I eat grapefruits for like four days in a row

371
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: and then does that wrang um? Yeah, well, grape fruit

372
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: is really good for burning fat, so that like burning

373
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: the actual lining of your stomach if you eat too

374
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: many of interesting. Yeah, it's like if you eat too

375
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: many lemons and you get like acid reflux. That's pretty

376
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: much what I'm doing to the line. Okay, sign me up.

377
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: I think you're extremely right that having a ripped, asked

378
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: body right now is like a full red flag. It's like, wait,

379
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: what is up with you? Yeah? When like what you

380
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: think this is ending in a month, it's for a

381
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: wild babe, Honey, did you not get see the memo?

382
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: Did you not see the people in at the airport

383
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and Christmas and everyone was in Jamaica for New

384
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: Year's We're gonna be We're gonna be here. We're gonna

385
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: be here. I hate, I hate that we are actually

386
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: going to be here. I want to say that the

387
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: pandemic is also straight. Yes, mean what is the pandemic?

388
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: If not again, it's going back to this idea of

389
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: a series of miscommunications. Yes, well, it's it's also the family,

390
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's focusing on the home, and

391
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: it's focusing on the nuclear faith it's the domestic. Yeah. Oh,

392
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that, right, I mean a

393
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: queer a queer pandemic would be one where it actually

394
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: was in the home, and the only way to not

395
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: get it was to be constantly going to kind of

396
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: warehouse parties. Let's do our first segment real quick since

397
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: we're on a roll, and then we can just keep

398
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: talking about that. I love that the topic is miscommunication,

399
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: Okay said, So this is a little chaotic up, Sam,

400
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: Should I introduce it? Okay? So said. Our first segment

401
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: is called Straight Shooters, and it is a segment where

402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: we gauge your familiarity with straight culture. So we're going

403
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: to give you a series of kind of A or

404
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: B type questions and it really is just like free association.

405
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: You just have to pick the one that you're most

406
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: drawn to. Okay. Some people pick the one that they

407
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: think is straight, or some people think the one that

408
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: they're that's their favorite. The one role is you can't

409
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 1: ask us any follow up questions, and if you do,

410
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: you'll lose points. And there's no right answers, and there's

411
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: no wrong answers. But if you're wrong, you don't know. Okay,

412
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: all right, um, Okay, I'll go okay, okay, Sydney Bitcoin

429
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: especially chaotic group of questions. I will say that both

430
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: on my end, and on Sam's d there was there

431
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: was no I couldn't follow a pattern. It was just like, okay,

432
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, we're at the top of

433
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: the hill. Now we're in the middle of the hill.

434
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: Now we're back at the top. Oh no, no, now

435
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: we fell down the hill. It's just yeah, I couldn't

436
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: really keep up. Yeah, yeah, no, it was. I will say,

437
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: as a group of questions, that may have been the

438
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: most difficult one we've ever given anyone. Thank you. Well,

439
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: you know, when someone comes on here that hosts their

440
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: own podcast, I always say, well, we gotta turn up

441
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: the heat because you know, they know how to sort

442
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: of have this sort of free flowing conversation. And you know,

443
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: it's not about having people be poised on the podcast,

444
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: having people be raw and people be honest. And so

445
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: I said, you know, let's give her something that makes

446
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: her honest. Sydney, would you rather be poised or raw?

447
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: I would like to. I think I am wrong, but

448
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: I would love to just know what it feels like

449
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: to be poised, because I have this news. Your perception

450
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: of yourself is so different than our perception. But I

451
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: knew that. I think I knew this I knew this

452
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: about you, George. We've spoken about this, We've spoken about this.

453
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: But it's also interesting because I think you often and

454
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: again not to um not to drag you through the cold,

455
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: but come on, bring it on, bring it on. You

456
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: do want to have it both ways, and that you

457
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: want your persona to be both that you're really hot

458
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: and that you're like a mess. You can do both.

459
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: I think if more hot people let people see their flaws,

460
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: then they would be likable. Alright, jam Jamale, Now that

461
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: now that's a drag I'm not going to take. Jamie

462
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: Jamiale is like scary to me, Like how much like

463
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: what level of talking about her will she see? Like

464
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: she's checking? She is, She's very she's very much Jamale.

465
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Jamale is one of these There's a class of celebrities

466
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: and I said this about Harry Styles in our previous episode.

467
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: There's a class of celebrities where my question about them

468
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: is what's the end game? Yeah, and I very much

469
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: feel that with Jamal. So you're saying that you guys

470
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: don't um check, You don't google yourself. You don't do that.

471
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: I google myself sometimes but not. But we're also not

472
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: like on a big NBC sitcom, like I have to

473
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: hope that once I was like a certain level of successful,

474
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: I would be like, well, I have to kind of

475
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: check out of that, because obviously people are gonna be

476
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: saying crazy ship. It's impossible to check out. I mean,

477
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I could very much lay right now. If I woke

478
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: up next you know, tomorrow, and I was suddenly Jamale,

479
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: Jamale the star of NBC is the good place, I

480
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: would absolutely be googling myself left and right, and I

481
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: will say that is very much um day behavior. I'm

482
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: to say that gay behavior. I think that we are

483
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: people that just love to hurt. It feels good. We

484
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: love that pain. It's just it's very toxic, and it's

485
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: a different type of toxic than like what straight people endure,

486
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: because straight people get married, and that's that's the most

487
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: toxic thing you could possibly do, right, So get so

488
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: googling yourself? Is the game? Is gay marriage? Yes, that's

489
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Right, So it's like it's not

490
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: the people fighting for marriage equality should have just googled

491
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: themselves and kind of maybe that would have scratched the

492
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: same toxic hit. That's the feeling they were looking for.

493
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: Is a feeling of vaguely being watched but also unsatisfied.

494
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: I do feel like if you're a famous person and

495
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: you like have a child, you like don't have time

496
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: anymore to like google yourself. Yeah, well no, I think

497
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: if if there's more reason to google yourself because you're like,

498
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 1: what is my kids seeing of me? Because I know

499
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: my kid is googling me? True? But also what if

500
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: you're Hilaria Baldwin and all you do is that poor

501
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,239
Speaker 1: poor woman? I feel so mad. I do love. Um,

502
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: there's something. I mean, all all of the you know,

503
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: people like Rachel Dollars and stuff, all that stuff is

504
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: so kind of dark to me that I do like

505
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: the idea of someone doing that, but just for another

506
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: white nationality, because it feels so harmless and fun. Like

507
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: I like Hilaria Baldwin pretending to be Spanish. Why. I

508
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: just mean like I like it as a fun news

509
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: story in a way that I can find humor, in

510
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: a way that I can't find humor, And like you

511
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: remember that one, It's like fluff Anger exactly, It's fluff Anger.

512
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: It's like seeing a horror Although someone pointed out to

513
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: me that then she's like kind of taking on the

514
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: experience of being an immigrant, which is has its own

515
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: baggage regardless of whether you're white or not, which was

516
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: a pretty convincing argument. But I still think I mean

517
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: hilario more like hilarious. I mean, the name of Hilaria

518
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: is extremely confused Halilaria, the fact that her original name

519
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: is Hillary. Yeah, I mean gentrification, like it's the reverse gentrification,

520
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: but you know it actually is gentrification because it's like hilarious.

521
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to make something like Hillary like a thing,

522
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: You're trying to make it cooler than what it is,

523
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: and it's like it's not. And then and then my

524
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: issue with um Hilaria and just everything that's going on

525
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: is like now there's more people impersonating her, these impressions

526
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: of Hillary, and it's white people with their impressions of

527
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: what a Latin or Spanish person sounds like. But I

528
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: would never but it's getting more and more problematic us.

529
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: It's just the wheel keeps turning. I do feel like

530
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: I just just defend myself because I did just do

531
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: that as a Greek person. Impersonating a Spanish person to

532
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: me seems harmless. Neighbors and we have a very similar

533
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: accent and I and we're both white Europeans. Is that crazy?

534
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: Should I be canceled? No? I mean it's it's it's

535
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: a tough Well, you know we're gonna cut We're absolutely

536
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna cut a nice, good five minute trunk there. Okay,

537
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: I love this pod. This is really bringing me all

538
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: of the joy that I was today. Is it? You know,

539
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: it's it's tough. It's a tough pod. Uh. You know,

540
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: this pod is not for babies. It's not for people

541
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: that don't do pods all the time. This is sort

542
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: of expert level. It is expert level. And I have

543
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: to say, you are showing up and you are doing

544
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: the work, and you are stepping up to the plate.

545
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Talk about being concise and succinct. Well, the problem is

546
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: that I I started off so rough that I was like,

547
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna say you will just reschedule. So now I'm like,

548
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: now I finally feel thirty minutes in, I felt I'm

549
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot more calm because I was on edge. I

550
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: was like, this is I'm awful, this is terrible. Well,

551
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 1: you were showing off you you you said because of

552
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: the headphone issue and because of the email issue, you

553
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: came on. You were like, oh, they want a podcast, guest,

554
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I'll give them a podcast, and now you can kind

555
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: of chill out, let your hair down and have a

556
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: blast while I have my bonnet on. I'm like, yeah,

557
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: I'll have my hair down, thank you. Oh wait, George,

558
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: did you forget that? I messaged you and I was like,

559
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: do I need to wear makeup? I know? I was like,

560
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: oh right. That's the other thing is I was like,

561
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: something's off when she's asking me if she needs to

562
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: wear makeup for my comedy podcast. That's what I should

563
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: have known. But because they do the videos and I

564
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm really against it voice face. Yes, No, it's a

565
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: different it's a different thing. I am. It's not right.

566
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: I see how people are trying to get two and

567
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: one and it's wrong. It's right. So there's nothing I'm sorry,

568
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: but there's nothing more are like just pathetic than a

569
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: video of a podcast recording. That's kind of where I

570
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: was going. I was thinking, like, look, anyone that enjoys

571
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: this beautiful podcast, I love you, I respect you. You're

572
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: so beautiful. If we made this podcast a video podcast

573
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: and you were still consuming it, I would say, grow up,

574
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: get a life. There's plenty of TV shows on HBO

575
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: Max watch that business. What video podcasts exactly? And you

576
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: know why I was just thinking this. I think it's

577
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: a very straight thing to not understand the limitations of

578
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: a form, Like it's very straight to be like I'm

579
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: going to adapt this book into a movie. I'm gonna

580
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: adapt this movie into a podcast. It's like, let everything

581
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: be what it needs to be. Stop forcing it. I

582
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: love the way you speak, George. This is soothing and

583
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: so sensual too. Also, the video podcast is like, if

584
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: you accidentally stumble upon a video podcast, there's like a

585
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: chance it's someone all right. Well, that's the main thing.

586
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't want people who think we're all right. And

587
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: if we were to release videos of this podcast, it

588
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: would sound very different. It would. It's especially about you know,

589
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: our hilarious bit. I know. I mean me, imagine like

590
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: an out of context video of me literally being like

591
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: I think I can make I think I can do

592
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: a Spanish accent. Yes, yeah, well that's not how you

593
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: sounded do it. I think do the do the accent.

594
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what's my no, I'm not gonna do you

595
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. Now it's getting now it's

596
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: we're really sorry. I realized, I really I just feel

597
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: like for a Greek person a Spanish person, it's similar

598
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: to like someone from New York and someone from Alabama

599
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: doing their accents. Is that wrong? The European Union, we're

600
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: all part of the same culture. Okay, So you're what

601
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: you're saying is you're saying if like a New Jersey

602
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: person was doing a like a New York accent, it's

603
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of okay because they're they're close. Here. Here's

604
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: what I'll say. I I have you know, in my

605
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: I've spent every summer in Greece since I was a kid.

606
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: I've met many Spanish tourists that come to Greece. Um,

607
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: we've had exchanges of like, what does this mean in

608
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: your language? What does this mean in your language? Trying

609
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: out the accidents off it has felt sorry, cucumber, what's cucumber?

610
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: What is cucumber? Oh? Just like, what is cucumber? Because

611
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: we're in Greece. Yes, correct, exactly, Hilario when she was

612
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: like she didn't know how to say cumber in English?

613
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: How you say cucumber? Yeah? My point is is that

614
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: I've never it's there's not a there's not some kind

615
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: of power dynamic where Greece has more power than Spain

616
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: or Spain has more power than Greece. That would make

617
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: it feel problematic. Okay, now now I get it. You explained,

618
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: and now I feel more comfortable. And if anybody wants

619
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: to come at us, let's go. I'll take it. I'll

620
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: take the shot. Oh my god, well incredible. Now that

621
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: did feel alright? Is me like vehemently defending myself? Oh?

622
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it was good. It was good. You're

623
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: allowed to defend yourself without being all right. Yeah, it

624
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: felt like actually an episode of Law and Order. That's

625
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: what that means. That's great. So you're calling me a

626
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: copy Olivia Benson. Yeah, that's what you are. You wish

627
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: you were Olivia Benson. I mean, don't we all wait? Okay,

628
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: so Olivia Benson, do we believe that she's a straight

629
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: woman or gay? And that's what it comes down to,

630
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: Olivia Benson, Well, you're a queer woman who has straight experience.

631
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: So what do you think, um, the coldness that she has? Uh,

632
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: I feel like she's a top yeah, top and low key.

633
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: She actually gives me a sexual vibes, Olivia. Yeah, like

634
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: she's had relationships with people, but it just it just

635
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't feel it. It feels forced mm hmmm,

636
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: like I can't. Like there's been like her tussling in

637
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: the bed before, like rolling around with someone, and it

638
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: just was like, Okay, she's not method, she's not method

639
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: at all. Well, sometimes some people sexuality is cop. Okay,

640
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: cop is a sexuality. I didn't know exactly. I didn't

641
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: know that. Like I think I do think cop is

642
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: a sexuality. And it's not on the LGBTQ plus spectrum.

643
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: No it is not. It's not in that plus. It's

644
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: in the minds. But it hurts though, it hurts, And

645
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: I don't see her as a cop. First of all,

646
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: she's a detective. Different Okay, interesting, Okay, yeah, sure yeah.

647
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: Detectives actually do the work. Cops just show up. Okay,

648
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: here she goes nose, which are good, Benson, we have

649
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: to come on detective to Tuola, like those are the

650
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: good ones. Wow, a cop, but also detective Sydney to

651
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: come on this podcast and just start defending cops from

652
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: moment one. Actually, we're very late in the game, so

653
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: it's true. It's true. We are. I mean, I'm glad

654
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: I only do that and only pick forty minutes for

655
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: you to bring up how much you love cops. You

656
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: know this is uh comedy is subjective and it's true,

657
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: as is the justice, the criminal justice stem. All of

658
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: this is for laughs, for ships and giggles. Anybody who

659
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: takes this seriously, you have too much time in your hands. Wow.

660
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,479
Speaker 1: Now that also spoken like a true alright podcast? So man,

661
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: I am I'm I don't even know who I am

662
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: right now. I know it's tough. We have that. I

663
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: think this podcast has that I on people where they

664
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: leave and they're like, what am I was? That? Was that? Unethical?

665
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Stand right? Like? Is this immoral? So often you know

666
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: Sam and I we'll do anything for the bit. I mean,

667
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: that's what we act. So stupid we act, We say

668
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: things we don't believe. We kind of like intentionally push

669
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: buttons only to then backtrack and then sometimes we'll stop

670
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: recording and we're like, are we coming across as so bad?

671
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: Right now? But wait, do you do you guys edit

672
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: your own pod. That's where the power is to be,

673
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: like actually going to take my pot into my own hands. Yeah, Ti,

674
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: we edit this, you're going to sound like very bad.

675
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: Well I'll take that, and I'm I'm proud. I'm proud.

676
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: I think the funniest edits are when I truly just

677
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: edit out, like me commenting like two words and I'm like, you, like,

678
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: that was so embarrassed. I do that so much. If

679
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: George were editing, you probably wouldn't notice, like my thing

680
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: that I think is really embarrassing and it doesn't matter.

681
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: But I'm like, oh, I know, but you know what though,

682
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking of it that the other day, like

683
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: it just you know how you have those moments where

684
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: you're just like freezing your like flat like flashes before

685
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: your eyes. I have them where I was like, oh

686
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: my god. The weeks that I don't do the editing,

687
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: all of that stuff that I say just gets left in.

688
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: Because that's why I don't know how you guys like

689
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: go between each other. I think I would be very

690
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: protective and I'm like, I was, just do it. It's fine.

691
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I've recently been asking Sam for rough cuts

692
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: and it literally is mostly because I'm worried about little

693
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: things that I said. I leave it up to our Lord.

694
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: I say, you know, if I said it and George

695
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: doesn't cut it, out then so be it. Yeah, but

696
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that we also have to

697
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: talk about miscommunication. It's like, if you say something right

698
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: on a pod, it can be misconstruted in any kind

699
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: of way. So if you're that nervous, you shouldn't do

700
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: a part at all, I know, because that's too much

701
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: stress that you you're putting on yourself to be like, well,

702
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what this, how this came off or

703
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: this you you're you're comedically a genius. Everything you're saying

704
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: is going to hit. That's how you got to think

705
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: about it. I mean it's tough though, because we exist,

706
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: there's so much um. There are all these little micro communities,

707
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 1: both on the Internet and in real life obviously, where

708
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes you'll find yourself on the corner of

709
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: the Internet and you're like, this is the language I

710
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: don't speak, And then you're like, what if something I

711
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: said got taken out of this context and put into

712
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: like young adult literature Twitter? I yeah, I mean I

713
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: even on a different level, like when like I hear

714
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: like an old friend who messages me and I was like,

715
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: oh it listen to the podcast and I was like

716
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: WHOA now, this has an entirely different meaning. Why would

717
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: they tell you that? Why would you think? Why why

718
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: would say that to reach out? Like, hey, I listened

719
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: to it. No, no, you quietly listen to my pod.

720
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: You tell no one. And if you truly was a fan,

721
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: you would just be post and tell people to and

722
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: leave a review and that's it, and that's the work

723
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: that needs to be done. That matters. So much work

724
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: needs to be done and mostly it's leaping reviews. Yeah, well,

725
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny when you hear about people. I am.

726
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the stay because io A Debris

727
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: texted me that that a friend of hers who like

728
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: is part of this group chat and everyone in the

729
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: group chat like went to ivy leagues and not work

730
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: in banking, and like whatever they I guess Io as

731
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: a joke when she was on our podcast said that

732
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: bipoc is the all lives matter of acronyms. Oh god.

733
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: They were like they were like io Debris said this

734
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: in an interview, what do you guys think? And they

735
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: were like earnestly debating about whether that was the case.

736
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: And it's like something we said or something Io said.

737
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: Our podcast then made it into like a completely different environment. Yeah,

738
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: that is actually scary, and considering there's just like no

739
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: edits in my podcast that who I mean, the fact

740
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: that someone hasn't came back with receipts saying I'm just

741
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: a monster, That means I haven't made it. I wonder

742
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: the rad I'm under the radar. That's all it is. Yeah.

743
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: I I also think a podcast is a specific, specific

744
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: medium because you are just supposed to go, go, go,

745
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: go go. Like stand up, you can really control what

746
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: you say, who you know, who you're speaking to, you

747
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: know what kind of audience you're getting. Even sometimes before

748
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: you get there, you're like, it's going to be this

749
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: style of audience, so I can curate my words to

750
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: that and this. You're just like, I don't know, well,

751
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: I literally don't believe like half the things I say.

752
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 1: But then I have to keep going because you can't

753
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: just keep editing or it's all about the confidence. But also, Sam,

754
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: we need to stop saying or even mentioning stand up.

755
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: It is dead, it is cold. We must bury it.

756
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: It is to not come back. I mean it. Maybe

757
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: if you want to reincardnate it as something else, fine,

758
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: but ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it is goodbye?

759
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: When are we? When are we doing stand up by guy?

760
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: What is it happening? There is something about it where

761
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't I can't relate. I can't relate

762
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: to the instinct of being like I'm not even talking

763
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: about indoor shows and all that controversial whatever. Just I

764
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: can't relate to the instinct of even with outdoor shows

765
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: like desperately seeking, like I at least want to do

766
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: two shows this month just because I missed stand up

767
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: so much. There's something about it where I'm like, if, if,

768
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: if we can't have normal life, I'm down to just

769
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: take a prolonged break. You know you ever be like

770
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: I miss that person, I miss my fucking X I

771
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: miss them, And then go back and you take your

772
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: tired ass to their house and it's dirtier than it

773
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: was before and just just sat a light a light

774
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: bulb was broken, and y'all have sex and it just

775
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: don't hit the same, And then you're like, Wow, I

776
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: rather wish I wish I could take this back so

777
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: I could just miss you as it when it was

778
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: good than me coming back and seeing what the funk

779
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: it is right now? Okay, that's that's what it is. Well,

780
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: that's because I did that. I like, I was about

781
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: to say that, went to an indoor show and like

782
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: a month ago, a month ago, I'm on the record.

783
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: I went to an indoor show and I will say this.

784
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: I walked away and I was mad at myself. I

785
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: was like, why did you do that? That was not

786
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 1: worth it. It It all did was make me miss more

787
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: how it used to be and not what it is now.

788
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 1: It's like it left a bad taste in my mouth.

789
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's like one thing when the people show

790
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: up to an indoor show, It's like, Okay, you're risking

791
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: your life for commed day. Yeah, you're not my audience.

792
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Unfortunately, that's just those are not the people

793
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk to, right them went to the

794
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: Capitol all right? Literally, it really is right imagine entertaining

795
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: first of all, taking out of the equation that you

796
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: yourself are also putting people at risk. But even if

797
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: you were behind the glass, you're entertaining people that all

798
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: are like some version of anti masks maskers. Yeah. Yeah.

799
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: It was actually like I'm saying to you guys, because

800
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: I know that you love you love stand up just

801
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: as much as I love it. It was a moment

802
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: where I was like, I gotta lean into whatever else

803
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: there is. I have to be good at something else,

804
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: because it's just it's not worth like what I love

805
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: so much, leaving me in a state where I'm like, oh,

806
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: I'll never do this again. I'd rather wait it out

807
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: and see how it is afterwards than doing these little

808
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: increments of like what I thought it was supposed to

809
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: be and just scarring myself. Right. Yeah, I know, I know,

810
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: it got so real. I brought it down. I brought down.

811
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just wanted to moving forward in this year.

812
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, I love my my craft so much, but

813
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: it is so straight of me to think that, Oh yes,

814
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: in a whole Panini, we need to be indoors, no ventilation.

815
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: Only ten people can show up and ten laughs that

816
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: sometimes are only two. This is worth it, no math,

817
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: no sir, No guys, we can't do it. It's wrong. Yeah.

818
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: I found judgmental. I found judgment I've done it. I've

819
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: done it. That's why I'm saying I've done it. I'm sure.

820
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm very scandalized that you went to an indoor show.

821
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: I I know, I listen. I did it twice because

822
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: the first time wasn't enough. Okay, you did not say

823
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: the first time that you did it twice. I was like, oh,

824
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: I was like, now I'm really going to tell the truth.

825
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I did it twice, and the second

826
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: time I was like, bitch, no, man, you got to

827
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: stop because it's like you get addicted. You're like, well,

828
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna catch this next high and the next

829
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: highest COVID. Friend, that's what it is. You're I'm just

830
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna go to catch covid. I'm just gonna go to

831
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: catch covid. Just one covid. That's it. Not too that

832
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 1: sounds like a restaurant catch covid, stc catch covid, Oh

833
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: my god. I and I mostly like I mostly have

834
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 1: given up on the concept of stand up. Like when

835
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: when everything hit, I was like, figure out videos, figure

836
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: out podcast, like what can you do in the now? Um?

837
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: But I have kind of been under the assumption that, like,

838
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: and I need to break myself of this. But I

839
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: am like, by April, everything's gonna be fine, and yeah, yeah, Sam.

840
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: I I was like in December, I was like, Okay,

841
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: by my birthday, I should see some changes. But I'm

842
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: telling you because I'm also a person who got on

843
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: a plane touring the holidays. There were so many people.

844
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: I was so ashamed of myself. I was like, I

845
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: really got on this plane and I'm judging everyone. And

846
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: one of the people there, nobody is easing up, their

847
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: foot is on the gas, and I think we're going

848
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: to be in here for a while a while in

849
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: this communication. Okay, yes, sorry, I brought it all the way.

850
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: You're fine. I just like I it really is. I mean,

851
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I was thinking, you know, the last show

852
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: I did before um the for the pandemic was your show.

853
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: But it was a week that where you weren't there.

854
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, that it was. It was Maria

855
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: and Amina. Um, I was in l A. Oh my gosh,

856
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: all the net. Okay, let's talk about strength communic this

857
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: communic truly. Oh oh okay, so um let's bring it

858
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: back all right. So obviously, I you know, I've dated

859
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: many many men. I've dated more men than I have women.

860
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: So that's where yeah, so that's where I was. I

861
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: was on the cuss where I was like, well, maybe

862
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm just bisexual, but because women, I think, well, not women,

863
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: But I just think like the gay culture on my

864
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: spectrum is more about talking it out. We just stay longer.

865
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: We just we just stay in it, and we're like,

866
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe we'll maybe we'll fix this. Oh we love to

867
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: fix Oh my gosh. Well we've we talked about this

868
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: in a in a recent episode, which is there's a

869
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: great tradition of gay men ruining things and lesbians fixing them.

870
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm snapping my fingers to that. I do think communication

871
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: is sometimes being good at communication is also a curse

872
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: because you're like, well, I can just talk through this exactly,

873
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, actually, maybe you can't. Maybe you

874
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: should not try to, because yes, you can make sense

875
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: of it all. Yes you can try to, like use

876
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: logic and your beautiful words and buzz words and whatever.

877
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: But then it's just like, no, you just need to

878
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: like either get mad and get out or like get

879
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: mad to get over it. Get mad and get out

880
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: or get mad or get over That is beautiful, Sam.

881
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: Can that be the title? That's a great Can we

882
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: get mad and get out or get mad and get

883
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: over it? I love It's so good. That is the

884
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: T shirt. Sam. We are in the process of working

885
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: on March, so you work that in. It's so good, okay,

886
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: of But I do just very quickly to Sam's point, like,

887
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: I so agree that I am someone who fetishizes communication

888
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 1: in a way where like I will make a tiny

889
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: thing into a big thing because I'm like, let's just

890
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: hash it out right now. Let's just like talk it

891
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: through right now and then we can move on. And

892
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: the person is like, no, let's just you know, move

893
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: on because we know we're going to be fine. Let's

894
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: just have dinner. We don't have to literally now spend

895
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: two hours discussing like some small slight or some small thing.

896
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: But I do think Sydney, I have to say, I

897
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: do think that in me is a very lesbian impulse.

898
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: It is. It is because we're just like, well, one,

899
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,959
Speaker 1: if you're saying, well, let's we have time to get

900
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: through like whatever we need to talk to that, for me,

901
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: I think that's avoiding. I'm like, let's let's do it now,

902
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: get it out the way so we can move forward

903
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: and not talk about it no more. I want to

904
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: I want to push through. Let's just get to the

905
00:53:54,160 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: other side. But I think in straight relationships, things just anger,

906
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: they linger because they're afraid to say something. They're like, well,

907
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: I don't want that person to feel some type of way,

908
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: or they just don't have the vocabulary for it, unfortunately,

909
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: and they don't know how to just verbalize the actual

910
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: emotions that are having. And as a as a gay person,

911
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: all I have is emotions. That that is my um,

912
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: that is my coinage, that's my currency. Emotion, that's how

913
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: I pay. I pay in feelings. Many stories except that, Sidney.

914
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, and I know you've gotten in trouble with

915
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: UM the tax authorities before, and it's because you actually,

916
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: absolutely it's because you actually insist on baying them with emotion.

917
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh, this is a good one. So the

918
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: guy was like, hey, I don't want to get in

919
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: your business. I was like, sir, you're looking at my

920
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: taxes from twelve years ago. You're in my fucking business.

921
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: It's like, how come you didn't file? Like what was

922
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: going on? One? I was like depression, right, He was

923
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: like healthcare. I was like depression, which is like feelings, emotions.

924
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: And I was like I couldn't. I couldn't do it.

925
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: I just could not get my ten nines together. I

926
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: have to say that the ongoing saga of your taxes

927
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: is something that I relate to so much because I

928
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: really am just the king of and I do think

929
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: talk about a straight impulse of like, you know, not

930
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: doing something very simple. It's just like I will I

931
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: recently returned something on the last day of the thirty

932
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: day return whatever. I love doing that is that is

933
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: my ship. I will not do something until they're like, um,

934
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: in a day. If in the day it's five o'clock,

935
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm starting at four forty five. And you know what, though,

936
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: that's what makes the pandemic hard because when you don't

937
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: have a For instance, we said, you know, I would

938
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: love to like have certain things done by the end

939
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: of this, But when you don't know what that date is,

940
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: when you don't have a deadline, I will never begin

941
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: to do anything. Oh I'm just supposed to like make

942
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: these goals and dates for myself. Are you fucking are

943
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: you here? Are you here? Are you present? I don't think.

944
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you know what's going on right here?

945
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: Because how I have a I have a dry race

946
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: board and you know, writing down things to do. Is

947
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a very I think it's a I

948
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: think it's non binary to have to do board is

949
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: non binary is and so but the part of me

950
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: that I'm like, is this depression or am I just gay?

951
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: I will write things down for the whole for the

952
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: things that like, for the whole day that I know.

953
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no way I'm getting to this. It's

954
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: just too much. Yeah, it's magical thinking. We'd like to

955
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: pile launch it. It's just that's the only way. I

956
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: can only get something done if I think I can

957
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: finish it that day. It's very hard for me to

958
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: think about something that will take me two days. So

959
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: even though I can't finish it in that day, I'll

960
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, today I'm going to write a pilot

961
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, obviously you're not going to but I

962
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: have to believe I can finish it or else I

963
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: won't work on it at all. Or or a writing packet.

00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: celebrate one of the crowning achievements of straight culture, which

996
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: is the radio shout out. Imagine, you know, calling into

997
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: Z one hundred or being at TRL kind of shouting

998

1000
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: making us happy this week in the style of a

1001
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: radio shoutout. And we just did one for a previous episodes,

1002

01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: were an orange, but you were called a blood orange.

1007
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: That is so goth and so badass. I cannot think.

1008
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the rest of the blood strawberries, blueberries, raspberries,

1009
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: and then you have blood oranges. And to top it

Speaker 1: to make a blood orange olive oil cake and it

1014
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: did not turn out well. But I stand Blood Oranges.
