Speaker 1: the East Coasts best podcast. George, how the hell are you? Wow?

3
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: You know what? Listen, I'm okay. I have something insane

4
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: happened to me. Oh my god. Please share this anecdote

5
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: like a normal podcast, Like, here's the thing. Have I

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: told you about my sub letter from hell? You have

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: mentioned this evil sub letter in the past. Now for

8
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: those who maybe have not kept in contact with me. UM.

9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I in in the month of November. I UM had

10
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: to go to the city of Los Angeles for two

11
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: months and had a week to find some to sublet

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: my apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Through a mutual friend

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: of ours who shall remain nameless, UM I found someone

14
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: who allegedly was a family friend of hers, and UM

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: seemed very sketchy, I will say, but I said, you

16
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: know this is a family friend. Like my friend was like, oh,

17
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: I know her aunt, or like her, you know her

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: aunt knows my family. Like that's how we got in touch.

19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, this seems weird, but

20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with it. So she gets in touch.

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Then every time she says she's gonna come see the apartment.

22
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: She either doesn't show up at all, like the first

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: few times she just doesn't show up at all, and

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: then the third time finally she's literally like two hours

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: late and is lying to me the whole time like

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: it's it's literally like I'm on the subway. I'll be

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: there in twenty minutes. And then in like thirty minutes,

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's her e t A? And she's like,

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm getting on the subway, So clearly something's off. She

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: comes to my apartment suddenly has a dog, which is

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: something she had mentioned before. I say, you know what,

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: it's fine. I think my building allows docs whatever comes there.

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Then I say, can you pay me ahead of time?

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: She says, well, there's this weird thing where I'm just

35
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: like waiting for some money to come in. Wait, what's

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: that sound? I think I think our guest is plushing

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: their toilet. True, don't wash your hands, Drew George were

38
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: regarding George anecdote. We are literally recording, Oh my god, unbelievable.

39
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: The point is she moved in literally again, red flags everywhere.

40
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, she says, Venmo doesn't work for me because

41
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: like the company's out to get me. Then I say, well,

42
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: let's do PayPal. She says okay. Then I don't hear

43
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: from her again. Then I'm suddenly in l A talking

44
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: to her once a week. Suddenly my landlord calls me.

45
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: It tells me that he thinks she's smoking indoors, like

46
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: it's just NonStop, NonStop. Finally, she does not pay me.

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I get back to my apartment. I'm after my trip

48
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to l A. I'm text her from the airport. I'm saying, listen,

49
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I we agree that you would move out yesterday. I

50
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: would like to go into my apartment and for it

51
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: to be ready for me. She says, oh, sure, but like,

52
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: what time are you going to be here? And I'm like,

53
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what time I'm going to be there

54
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: because you're so you were supposed to move out last night.

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't you you shouldn't be there still moving out today.

56
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: She says, okay, but what time, I say. I lie

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: to her and I say two hours ahead of what

58
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: you know when I will actually arrive because I wanted

59
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to be gone. Cut to me arriving at my apartment

60
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: at like three am from the airport. I opened the

61
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: door and she is on the floor using my bath

62
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: towel to I guess clean the floor. So she's holding

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: my bath towel which is completely stained all over and

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: attempting to clean the floor with it. Um So I say,

65
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: you need to you right now, and then she leaves

66
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: and then for the next uh, and then starts the

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: process of me trying to get her to pay me

68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: after she has already left the apartment. Oh. Also, when

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: I entered, I realized that my window and my door

70
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: knob were broken. So in the time that she stayed there,

71
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: she broke my window, which only recently got fixed, and

72
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: my door knobs, so I was not able to open

73
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: or close my door. Um So then this is now,

74
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: and um I think I got back early December. So

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: she leaves and then starts the process of me trying

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: to get her to pay me, where every week it's

77
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: a different excuse of like, oh, yes, money is coming in.

78
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, it's been a weird week, blah blah blah

79
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: blah blah. And then at some point I'm like, well,

80
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I've literally been scammed by this person. Um so I

81
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: just have to accept that, celebrated and move on. And

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: um then, you know, every couple of months, I would

83
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: get mad at this again and like text and be like,

84
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: just f y, I I'm still waiting for sevent hundred

85
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: dollars from you, and she would ignore me. So you know,

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: I texted once in January, once in March, once in May,

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: completely ignored me. I then tried to get in touch

88
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: through our friend with her aunt, and then her aunt

89
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: sent a cryptic message that's like, you know, I would

90
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: like to help, but I don't have the best relationship

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: with my sister. Um so I don't feel comfortable communicating

92
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: with my niece. So the point is, it is now

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: August four. I am. I traveled a few days ago

94
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: to come visit my family. I'm in my parents house

95
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: and I suddenly get a text from this person, someone

96
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: who I have not spoken to in nine months, and

97
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the text just says, wait, let me find it. The

98
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: text just says, hey, do you have Zeller cash app?

99
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: So she's gonna pay you. Literally, no recognition of the

100
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: fact that she has been ignoring my text for nine months,

101
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: no recognition of the fact that this was money that

102
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: was owed to me like eleven months go. Literally just

103
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: a text that says, do you have Zeller cash app?

104
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: We we had agreed on PayPal before. So I just

105
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: replied why does PayPal not work? And she says I

106
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: can't use it period. Oh my god, well she doesn't

107
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: support Peter Tiel. That's what it is, right right, right,

108
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: So so this is someone who for whatever reason cannot

109
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: use Venmo or PayPal, which are the two most popular

110
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, um banking payment apps. Anyway, finally I looked

111
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: into zell I have signed up for it, and then

112
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: lo and behold, she literally just paid me the correct

113
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: amount yesterday. No, I was addressing it and did and

114
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: then literally didn't say like well there didn't like didn't

115
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: even I just got an email notification that she paid it.

116
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: She didn't even text me to say like I you know,

117
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: all good, or like we're settled up. She still has

118
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: not said anything along the lines of sorry or like

119
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: sorry for the delay. Literally this like I've been trying

120
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: to get this money since this since November, she has

121
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: ignored me throughout and just out of nowhere paid me

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: after nine months. Wow. I mean, hey, I'm surprised she

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: did it. I feel like if I were like soft

124
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: ghosting someone on rent, I wouldn't then like be good

125
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: a few months later. I know that's what that's what's

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: so good. But that's why it's even more chaotic than

127
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: her just not paying me. She's she's the joker. She's joke.

128
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: She literally is a joker. I don't understand. I mean

129
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it's so it's like I literally think it's scarier than

130
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: if stuff because I had just given up on this.

131
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, it's completely you know,

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: it's my fault. I literally ignored all these red flags.

133
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Someone literally came lived in my apartment, broke the window

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: and the door knob, and then didn't pay me. You know,

135
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: at some point you have to recognize, like it's kind

136
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: of your fault for inviting someone then into your apartment.

137
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Never did I expect that in nine months out of

138
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: nowhere I would get a payment for the correct amount. Wow,

139
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean I can't imagine. Shit. I this girl, I

140
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: mean she's a good person. That sounds like a good part. Also,

141
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I didn't mentioned there are so many other things where

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: like this is someone who clearly was unable to do

143
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: anything like normally, like literally, I mean it was just

144
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: lie after lie after like weird like misleading comment like

145
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: and yet I was like, what is your job? And

146
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: she goes oh, I do branding and event planning. It's

147
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: like those like to be an event planner, that means

148
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: you have to be very organized. I've seen that movie.

149
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean was that a lie? I don't know,

150
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: it's so serious, and I was like, maybe, you know,

151
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to be kind of like, if this

152
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: is someone who's having money problems, I don't want to be,

153
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, essentially like a landlord trying to collect rent

154
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: from her. But then I looked at I asked our friend,

155
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: and she was like no, she literally like is rich

156
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: and grew up in Park Slope. Oh that sucks. Just

157
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: she just didn't think she didn't feel like. I don't know.

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: That's the thing. This whole thing has left me absolutely rattled.

159
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds crazy. Yep. I'm like, I'm sorry,

160
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm not better at reacting right now. Um. It just

161
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: feels like that was a really personal story and it's

162
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: sort of like like it wraps up kind of nicely

163
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and it's just like, Okay, that's the story is now,

164
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: Like she sued me for defamation for talking about her

165
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I mean, I think that would be

166
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: queen status. I think we would have no Twitter would have.

167
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: I think I definitely think it is weird and bold

168
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: of you to talk about her on the podcast. She's

169
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: clearly on the stable, and I feel like that is

170
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: dangerous territory. I don't want some joker figure attacking me

171
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: and my family. Um. That being said, I get that

172
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: need to vent um. I just wish you wouldn't use

173
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: this podcast as an outlet to harm adopt people. I

174
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: did not think this was gonna turn. I did not

175
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: think I was going to get scolded for this. Yeah, George,

176
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm scolding you because you're abusing your power as a

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: podcast host, and it is about time somebody took you

178
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: to task. Wow. Well, did not expect. I did not

179
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: expect this intestive to to to have this kind of

180
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: animosity up top. How are you, I guess, Well, you know,

181
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, I know, for so long you thought you

182
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: were too big to fail, so powerful that you could

183
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: just change people's minds at the snap of a finger

184
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: and make them bid your will. But yeah, um, but

185
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: that reign of terror ends now. Wow. I did not

186
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: really thought. I honestly thought. You know, it's interesting. I

187
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: thought in this story I was the victim, But you're

188
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: really making me realize that actually I somehow in the villain. Yeah,

189
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if she's Joker, you are to face. I

190
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: want to say, I guess I recently watched the Batman movies,

191
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: which ones, weirdly like a lot of them, I watched. Um,

192
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not proud of this. Well, you probably

193
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: watched Batman and Robin after Joel Schumacher died. Is that correct?

194
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: That is correct? Actually? Uh, and I watched the other

195
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: one to Batman Forever, and then I watched um, The

196
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: Dark Night. Yeah, and that's it actually, but that actually

197
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: feels like a lot. Yeah. No, that's definitely more than

198
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: I've watched in the past few months. If you're watching

199
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: three Batman movies in a month, you've you've got an issue.

200
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Um should we um? I think we should actually introduce

201
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: our guest. We should, But also we should make a clarification,

202
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: which is that this is the first time we are

203
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: recording without any visuals. We are not on zoom. We

204
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: are only recording audio. We are only recording audio. And

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: if I can be completely honest, I feel free. I

206
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: do feel I feel very constrained. No, I feel like

207
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I can talk without your judgment. I feel I feel

208
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: like I can just like, go go, go go go.

209
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: I really think, well, I guess I'll believe that when

210
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: I see it, because so far it's been pretty Oh

211
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you bitch, you're the I'm sorry I don't have a

212
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: hilarious anecdote about a bad sub letter. Here's the thing

213
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: with my anecdote about my sub letter. I'm already regretting

214
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: it so much because I think, and listen, I'm a

215
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: trains storyteller, and I think there is a way to

216
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: tell that story that makes it so much more compelling.

217
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: And as I was telling it, I was like, this

218
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: is a dun well and like, as I was saying,

219
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wait, the story is just that

220
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: someone didn't pay me. But then they did great. In

221
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: my mind, it's literally the most interesting thing that has

222
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: happened to me in the past two years. I mean,

223
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: I was I could be completely honest. As a listener.

224
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I should be responding, I should

225
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: be reacting, and I was like, there's actually not much

226
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: to no, You're right, I mean, I'm now it's now

227
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: crystal hear to me that I really did think. I

228
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: really did think, because when you go through something like this,

229
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, subjectively. I mean for me, it was non stole.

230
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, to be in l a and suddenly realize

231
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: you're getting scammed and knowing that someone is living in

232
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: your apartment in New York to come back in the

233
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: middle of the night and find them literally eyes bloodshot

234
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: on the floor using your bath towel to clean your

235
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: floors while their stupid little dog is barking at you,

236
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: and then being at three am, like, please leave my apartment,

237
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: and then being it's like, what if she doesn't leave?

238
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: You know, then she leaves, and then it's months of

239
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: me trying to get literally sevent dollars, which is a

240
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: lot of money. That is a lot of money. It's

241
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: enough money that I didn't like do things I would

242
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: have like, that's a significant amount of money in your

243
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: bank account. Well, yeah, you were going to go to

244

245
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and and once again, I mean, I've talked

246
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: about my broken window before, but I had a broken

247
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: window for nine months because of this person. Here's what

00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know. I was like, I just

306
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: my hands felt gross. I was like, I need to

307
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: just rinse them. But to reach without muting in the

308
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: middle of a podcast recording is one of the most

309
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: iconic things has ever done. It's really iconic and psychotic. Yeah,

310
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: I realized that I was like, should I do this?

311
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: I did have a moment where I was going to

312
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: stop myself, but I didn't. Well, that's almost worse. I

313
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: mean I would I know, if you were just kind

314
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: of like in the zone and you weren't thinking, then

315
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: I would have excused it. But for you to stop

316
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: and say should I do this and then decide ultimately yes,

317
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I know. I also want to say for the listeners

318
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: at home. Another Drew thing that Drew did was he

319
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: was wearing a shirt and he rapidly changed. I don't

320
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: even know when you changed, but you changed in like

321
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: a one second period. And we said, did you just change?

322
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: And he said yes? And tell tell our our readers

323
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: why I spilled salad dressing on my T shirt. It

324
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: smells that wells so so Drew. That's so Drew. That's so,

325
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: that's so funny. Yeah, that's Hi. Hi, how are you.

326
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm okay, you know, I'm okay. My anxiety has been

327
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: um at an all time high, but today I feel

328
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: a little less, you know, a little less anxious. I'm

329
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: happy to do talking to you both. I feel that

330
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: my anxiety it's like everything else that would prop up

331
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: your anxieties, Like, I feel almost mellow in every way,

332
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: except I'm only driven by the residue of anxiety, like

333
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's nothing even to warrant the anxiety. It's

334
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: just that is my only driving force. Yeah, I my

335
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: brain will find things too obsess over, even if it's,

336
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, something ridiculous. So that's been my constant struggle.

337
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: But like this week was pretty good, it wasn't It

338
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as usual. Here's here's one thing I

339
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: we often. I feel like you we You know, when

340
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: live comedy existed, we hosted a show together called TV

341
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: for years even, and um, you and Marcia were always

342
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: freaking out about everything, and you were always like you are,

343
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: so you would you would accuse me of being chill,

344
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: and I would say, I'm actually not that chill because

345
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: you guys are fucking bonkers. I know that's fair. No,

346
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: that is very very that is very very fair. And

347
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: I think that we were both just I wouldn't say

348
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: accuse you because that's aggressive. It was more so that

349
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: we were like enamored and impressed by you, because I

350
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: think Marcia and I are cut from the same cloth.

351
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: And I hate to make it about being Jewish, because

352
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: everyone has anxieties, not just you know, Jews, but like

353
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: I think Marcia and I are very much similar in

354
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: that way, and I think it's you know, some some

355
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: inherited stuff, some of my my favorite things that you

356
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I like when you would get annoyed at the temperature

357
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: in the that was okay, but but that is valid.

358
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Can we discuss temperature and comedy for a second. Can

359
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: we have this literally a conversation more relevant to our

360
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: temperature in comedy venues right now? With everything going on

361
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: right now, I'd like to talk about temperature and comedy. Um,

362
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: it's important to have a have a you know, a

363
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: cooler space because comedy doesn't work when it's too warm.

364
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: When when because that's all you're thinking about is being warm.

365
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: It's like I barely listen to people when they're on

366
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: stage if it's hot, and I listen to anything. I

367
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: used to host a show in Boston that was in

368
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: a back room that did not have any kind of ventilation,

369
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: and so over the summer we would literally just have

370
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: three fans at three different corners, all blowing wind towards

371
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: the center and everyone was sweating. And it's like, at

372
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: that point, why are you why bother? Like if you

373
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: have to, It's like at some point, maybe you're not

374
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: meant to be hosting a comedy show in this room. Yeah,

375
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: I just think, like I don't know, comedy is so hard,

376
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: and there's like there's so many things that are not

377
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: in your control that it's like if you can control

378
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: the ten, if you can control the tenth, then do it?

379
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Can I just say it? Yeah? That is so true. Also,

380
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: I want to circle back to um George. Every time

381
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you used to do comedy in Boston,

382
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: I literally you literally a short circuit you can't handle.

383
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I think with you, I have like I am guilty

384
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: of Boston Erasher, where I really try to delete that

385
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: part of your identity, and I think that is really unfair. Well,

386
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: it is a part of my identity that listen, in

387
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: the grand scme of things, I lived in Boston for

388
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: only two years of my life. It just happens to

389
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: be where I started comedy. So in some ways it's

390
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: it's not part of my personalities, but in other ways

391
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: it is very central to it because that's like where

392
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: I learned how to do stand up. So Boston's like

393
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: you're Brooklyn. Yeah, I'll say this. I do hold a

394
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: certain kind of UM. I do have a certain amount

395
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: of pride in terms of the fact that I started

396
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: doing comedy somewhere that has a normal comedy scene and

397
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: not you know, immediately like getting on stage and just

398
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: like singing a Broadway song. Wait, are you trying on

399
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: New York? Yeah? Okay, we but normal, we have a

400
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: normal comedy scene. I agree. Is that what you think of?

401
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Is that what you think of New York comedy? George,

402
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. All I'm saying is like, have you

403
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: seen people that like I think people that start that

404
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: are like twenty two or something and start in Brooklyn

405
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: are at a disadvantage because they never learned the basics

406
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: of like joke writing. Oh but I think we get

407
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: a really weird like our sample size is bizarre because

408
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the Broadway comedy like Overlap started really recently,

409
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: and I like before that, it's a Connie, They're not

410
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: on Broadway. I think Broadway is a little generous saying

411
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: stuff meaning people who want to be on Broadway but

412
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: are weirdly like, Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, yes, yes, yes,

413
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean I do think you know what we can't

414
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: I was about to now talk about l A and

415
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: we can't I actually would rather shoot myself on the

416
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: no talk about l A. I'm just saying it's even

417
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: worse to start in l A. Can you imagine starting

418
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: in l A? Um No, I think I don't think

419
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: they actually like have a scene at all. No. One

420
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: time a someone that's literally like a respected comedian with

421
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: many specials did an entire set about like doing punch

422
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: ups on a movie and like that, like that was

423
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: the baseline of it. Yeah, um, wait is this boring? Yeah?

424
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: I mean it's good to check in. It's good to

425
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: check in. I think it's so important sometimes when you're

426
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: recording a podcast to see outside of yourself and be like, wait,

427
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: am I being really bor boring? Yeah? No, I mean

428
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's always good to check in.

429
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's boring, but maybe it's boring to

430
00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: the listeners who don't docommodate. Maybe with two lesbians. Yeah, god, yeah,

431
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: how exactly? Pivot? What was? How is that? Yeah? Changed

432
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: my entire life for the absolute best. It does seem

433
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: like it has been good for you. It's been really

434
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: good for me. I mean, luckily, I've had mostly good

435
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: living situations in New York, barring a few, but like

436
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: living with two women who are married and are really

437
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: great example of just like a loving couple who supports

438
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: each other is like, it's amazing. I didn't know they

439
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: were amazing. They're married. Yeah, Lauren Kate, they're they're married.

440
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: To live with them, I love like I know they're married. Yeah, okay,

441
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: yeah Lauren Kate, Babes, they're yeah, they're they're married. They're

442
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: so great. They're just like you know, it's it's they

443
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: really take care of each other. They've they took care

444
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: of me during quarantine and still do. We cooked together,

445
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: we hang out a lot. They're great. Do you think

446
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: is the Ellen and which one is the Porsche? That's

447
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: a great, great question. Um, I actually think I think that. No,

448
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: I won't answer that. Actually, that'll be pleading George. Actually

449
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: in your relationship, which one is the Ellen? Which one

450
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: is the Porsche? I guess that's I mean, this is

451
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: something let me think. I mean, I don't want to

452
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: speak too soon, but I do. Something that I have

453
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: been enjoying about my current relationship is that both of

454
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: us are able to switch back and forth between being

455
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: like the star and the supporter. Mmmmmmm, that's so great.

456
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: That's vital. It's such a like I feel like it's

457
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: such um, what's the what's the balancing act? I guess,

458
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: and so far it is working well. And that's honestly

459
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: something I didn't. I feel like that's like such a

460
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: h an unspoken problem with many people we know that

461
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: are both kind of like working in creative fields, are

462
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: attempting to have any kind of public profile and dating

463
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: each other, is that there can only be one person

464
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: that's that gets attention, right, Yeah, I think I think

465
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: for yeah, I mean I think that I've also witnessed

466
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: that with with my roommates too. Um, they're very much

467
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: there's there's like a really nice given take in that

468
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: regard um, and they're not even in the arts. It's

469
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: just that's that's what I've witnessed. It's really well, then

470
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: I don't really want to hear anything else about it

471
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: industry only. I mean to be a dentist, yeah, yeah,

472
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: to be gay and not not in the art. It's

473
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: hard thing, is I mean that it is one of

474
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: those things where you're like, well, maybe like you didn't

475
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: really get the assignment. Yeah, it's sort of like okay,

476
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: your internalized homophobia. It's like tearing your life to shress.

477
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Every time I read something that's like the first Gay Doctor,

478
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so hateful, Like why do you

479
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: secure enough in yourself to be an old comedian? Yeah? Well,

480
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: actually I will say I will say that they are

481
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: like both artistic and and Kate is an amazing singer.

482
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: She gives voice lessons. Laura's hilarious, she's really funny. So

483
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: it's like they have a little touch. Stop defending them,

484
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: you're also you. You should know in the year it

485
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: is a slur to call people a little artistic. I know.

486
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: As the words left my mouth, I was like, you

487
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: can't say that. You can't. If someone ever was like

488
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: draining a little artistic, I'd kill myself really so sad.

489
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: It's like, you're right, Oh that is that going to

490
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: be the name of this episode? So artistic, a little artistic?

491
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: And I like that as a slur though, like if

492
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: you're saying something negative about someone, Oh yeah, I've I've

493
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: met Um, I've met Kayla. She's a little artistic. Yes,

494
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean it definitely is like a gay It feels

495
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: like it's calling someone like lighting the loafers or something. Yeah,

496
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: my favorite of all time is um. It's this tweet

497
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: um that goes, uh uh wait it is vaccines. So

498
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: what if vaccines make your kids artistic? That doesn't always

499
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: mean they're gay. That's too. It's so good. It's literally

500
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite tweets ever written. Wow, it's

501
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: so good, UM sighting tweets on our podcast. I knew.

502
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: I knew you were gonna come for me. Just I

503
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: never thought i'd see the day, you know what. I

504
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: was grasping at straws. I'm trying to listen. I was

505
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: not expecting my sub literal story to land with such

506
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: a thud. I mean, at this point, I'm just like, oh,

507
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: what if a little artistic was a slur? What if

508
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: I were sited? Tweet? Just let me try. I mean,

509
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm truly I'm sinking. It's like that scene in UM,

510
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, get Out where he goes into the sunken place,

511
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: except there's no racial allegory. So it's not like get

512
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Out at all. If there's no racial allegory, it's not

513
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: like get O. Well did you think it that was

514
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: about race? I thought it was kind of like a

515
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: fun scary movie. I love to be I love a

516

Speaker 1: little like thrill just a little, a little Alison Williams view, Yeah,

517
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really great rayle for Alison Williams.

518
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: That is a I love that as a take. If

519
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: someone who's like, oh, like I just don't even see

520

Speaker 1: Race and it's it's just a fun film, Like we

521
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: don't have to make it about don't everyone needs to

522
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: stop politicizing the work of Jordan Peele's clearly just making

523
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: fun for I mean that that that other movie he

524
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: did Us, I mean that was kind of a classic

525
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: universal um tale of family drama. So true, so true,

526
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: And you know the internet these days is, oh, it's

527
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: trying to politicize everything. It's true. And himself, please don't

528
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: when you see my movies, please don't in any way

529
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: associate them with politics or current events. He's always he's

530
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: actually always saying that, um, I've got an idea, and

531
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: I think I know what it's going to be. But

532
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: let's do our first segment, Drew. In our first segment,

535
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: choose one thing or the other thing, and it's the

536
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: goal of this game is to gauge your familiarity with

537
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: and complicity in straight culture. And yet you are not

538
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: allowed to ask any further questions about how the game

539
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: works or any clarifications. And also, um, now we can begin, Sam, okay,

549
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,480

555
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: a good student. I was a really good student. Yeah, yeah,

556
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: really I was just because he was a really good student.

557
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: Yeah you know you mentioned like really good. Yeah, because

558
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: you said you were really good, and I was like, whoa,

559
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: he's not just good, he's really good. Well yeah, because

560
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: I was like, I like put I honestly, I put

561
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: all of my energy into studying. And I was president

562
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: of my high school, and I worked really hard because

563
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: I was just like so deeply in the closet. That's

564
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: how I yep, I do think you know, shame really

565
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: makes people good learners. Yeah, exactly. Shame could be incredible

566
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: in that regard. I think you can push you. So

567
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: many gay people are psychopaths in high school because they're

568
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's all they can focus on is like, yeah, working,

569
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I just like kept I just kept moving, moving,

570
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: moving moving because I was so anxious about being It's

571
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: so interesting that you go from being um not you

572
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: gave people in general, you go from being kind of

573
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: an overachiever in that way, and then you come out

574
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: and then you're like, well now I have to think

575
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: about um like T shirts. I'm like, wait, what do

576
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: you mean? I mean like like think about like your body,

577
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: like just all the things that you were avoiding because

578
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: you were like, well, I can't even think about my

579
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: physical form now suddenly that's such a good point. Yeah,

580
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: there's a there's a big overcorrection. I think there's an overcorrection.

581
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: But then people are like, but then people take it

582
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: too far in the other direction, which is why I

583
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: think you should just stay in the closet. That's ultimately Yeah,

584
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: I was going to say the same thing. I think

585
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: you should just keep letting that shame propel you because

586
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,959
Speaker 1: it might lead you to better things than coming out. Yeah,

587
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: you can be like a mayor. I mean you think

588
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: people would be where he is right now if he

589
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: was not closetive forever. Yeah, I would say probably wouldn't. Yeah,

590
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: And and it's even sadder that where he is right

591
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: now is like not even that good. He's in Indiana.

592
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: I know it's true in Indiana, that's true. Would you

593
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: rather be? He did just sign He did just sign

594
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: with CIA though, so you know, we have to celebrate

595
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: this kama sign. What did you say? What if Kamala

596
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: was announced as a VP pick and then the next

597
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: day the next announcement was like and she signed with CIA.

598
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: She signed with gersh next. Yeah, I would. I would

599
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: die for that just just also represent Chaston or I

600
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: think they do. I would. I think they have the

601
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: same reps. Do you think do you think Pete was like, no,

602
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: we have to have the same reps. And do you

603
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: think Chaston was like, well, I really like the U

604
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: t A. Agents were much nicer and I really felt

605
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: like a connection with him. I think it's I think

606
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: they probably both both went with CIA. I mean, you

607
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: gotta go with the best, right if you're gonna do it.

608
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: I wonder who represents Chaston's ghostwriter? Wait, you know who

609
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: did that? Do you know? You know? Yes? I know,

610
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. I didn't mention on our podcast. I

611
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: mentioned on a different podcast, But I know who wrote

612
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: who ghost wrote Cheston's memoir? But I can't say it.

613
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: What what happens if you say it? I can't. I

614
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: mean it's someone that people know. It would literally my

615
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: life would be over. Aaron Jackson. It's Aaron Jackson, friend

616
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: of the pod. Wait, that's crazy, what is it like?

617
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Is it just the is the book just about his life? Yeah,

618
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: it's a memoir, It's true. Um, it's called a memoir.

619
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: It's a type of look about someone's body. I don't

620
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: know any that you've read Bossy Pants by Tina Feye.

621
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: Does that rink about it? Yeah? Sure does? Ok Okay,

622
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: we need to talk about Okay, bossy Pants is the

623
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: Liza up books. Oh my god, that's so intense accusation. Okay.

624
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that like people were obsessed with,

625
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: like truly genuinely obsessed with for like a year, and

626
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: it was like, of course, that's we all agree, this

627
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: is inherently good. And then like something turned and it

628
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: became like sort of the punchline and like symbol of

629
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: like lame and basic. But in my mind, Tina Fey

630
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: is lamean or like sorry, I would not actually positive that,

631
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: but the idea of Tina Fay had. There has been

632
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: backlash to it in a very different way than Lizzo.

633
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: Like with Lizzo, the backlashes that people think she's corny

634
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: or as a Tina Fey, and the backlash is that

635
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: people think she has like blind spots in her comedy.

636
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm talking I'm literally not talking about Tina

637
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: fe I'm talking about Bossy Pants as a work. Okay, Okay,

638
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: So but I also think like, I also think the

639
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: difference is like, I think people have since learned things

640
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: about Tina Fe and and I think that helps, like

641
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: now inform your decision about her in her book, whereas Lizzo,

642
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: It's like, I think it's more so the annoying fans

643
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: who have have informed how we feel about her, don't

644
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: you think, and you know I you know I come

645
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: from I guess a different background. I feel like the

646
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: most of the joy of making fun of Bossy Pants,

647
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: not Tina Fe. Bossy Pants is sort of it's a

648
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: it's an anger at like the fans of like UCB

649
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: and sort of like lame improv student style person. Mm

650
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: hmmm hm. So I actually I don't think it's her

651
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: politics that is turning people off thing into the fans too,

652
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: I think I actually, I guess I wasn't aware of

653
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: that bossy Pants had such a vocal backlash. I think

654
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: bossy Pants it's it's nothing to have a backlash, it's

655
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: just become I feel like a to punchline. Yeah again,

656
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: I do think that might be in our own micro community. No,

657
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: my my experience is universal. Literally, like during the presidential debate,

658
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: everyone's like, well, and he's the bossy pants of candidates.

659
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: It's like I'm talking about it's just like this universal

660
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: punch line. Yeah. I do hate sometimes being like oh right,

661
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm like in a very specific sect of people, like

662
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: I always like, no, my ideas are the idea, yeah,

663
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: but like yeah, but like there's specifically with like improv

664
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: and sketch. It's like we I was drinking the cool

665
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: I know you were to Sam. We were all very

666
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: excited in that world. But it's like there's been honey,

667
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: there was a really there was a reckoning and then

668
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: we were like all embarrassed whereas I never had to

669
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: have a reckoning when I was performing Luis e. K's

670
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: home club in Boston, Massachusetts. Um, so our topic today, yeah,

671
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: is I? Oh is um prom? Did you have a

672
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: realization mid sentence there, Sam, I, well, I was thinking

673
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: a little out loud. I was like, wait, what is

674
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: our topic today? It's problem? It's problem. It's problem. Which

675
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: is a dance that high schoolers go to when they're

676
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: juniors and seniors. As someone who did not go to

677
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: high school in the country of the United States, can

678
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: you to explain to me what prom is? Yes? So

679
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: it's just the big end of the of like the

680
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: year dance. Like usually it's every school is different, but

681
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: usually there's just one big prom. It's your senior prom,

682
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: so the seniors go. Sometimes there's junior prom. I don't

683
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: know how was at your school, but we only had

684
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: senior problem. Oh, yours was exclusive. Mine was extremely inclusive.

685
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: It was juniors and seniors. Okay, yeah you could go,

686
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: Like if the senior brought you to prom, you could go. Well,

687
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: So was that a big eple thing where they were

688
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: like girls that were guys even who were like freshmen

689
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: and sophomores and they were going to prom and they

690
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: were like the cool ones? Yeah, if you got invited

691
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: into prom before your junior year, you were like hot shit.

692
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: Like I went three I went three years in a row.

693
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: I imagine one of the few nice things about being

694
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: gay in high school is you get invited to problem.

695
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah well, yeah, Drew, why were you being invited so often?

696
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: Because like I was just in high school, I was

697
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: just like very visible because I was doing all these

698
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: clubs and I was nice and closeted. So I think

699
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: people just like I just knew who I was and

700
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: knew that I was nice and easy going, So I

701
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: think like, you know, I did a lot of theater.

702
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: You know, I knew a lot of of straight women,

703
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: so they all just invited me. Like I think that

704
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like a safe choice. You

705
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: were there a little pet. I was there a little pet.

706
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: You know. There was no expectation to do anything. You know,

707
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: it was just like I was this kind of sexless

708
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: sweet boy. That does make sense, you know. Did you

709
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: have fun when you went um? Like I remember having fun,

710
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: but I also remember being uncomfortable because it's like you're

711
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: you're there, and I felt like I felt a little

712
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: bit strange because it's this, you know, huge moment for

713
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: this senior and I was just like, I'm I don't

714
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: know any of these other people, and I was just

715
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of standing there. But I also did I also

716
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: did drink a lot, which is you know, not a

717
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: huge surprise, but I'm not a big drinker, so I

718
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: just got like real, real drunk, real drunk. So these

719
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: was it like we're going as friends or was there

720
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: like a little bit of like, well, it's it's romantic,

721
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: like like, okay, so let's see, I went with my

722
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: best friend's my best friend Josh's sister Jodi. Um, when

723
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: I was a sophomore kids Josh and Jody. That is

724
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: so wholesome, Drew and Josh and Jody. Yeah. Um. And

725
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: then so there was no expectation there because like she

726
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: felt like my family. And then my junior year, I

727
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: went with my cousin. Oh, the fact that you went

728
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: to prom three times in a row is seeming less

729
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: and less cool the more details to hear about it

730
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: really dropped, as if you were like, it's like, not

731
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: to brag, but I went to prom six years in

732
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: a row. We were with my mom and I was alone,

733
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: and then no one invited me. And what I was actually, yeah, no,

734
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: I went to a I went to one on Long

735
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: Island with my cousin because she needed a date. And

736
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: I can't it a little bit ad Like what was

737
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: her deal bringing her cousin to prom? Deal was like, yeah, Sam,

738
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: her deal was she didn't she didn't have anyone to bring.

739
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: She knew I was nice, you know, we'd have a

740
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: good time, and so she asked me to come. So

741
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: I did, and it was like totally fine, and I

742
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: did feel a little bit bad, but like, also, you know,

743
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't have a date. Sometimes you need help,

744
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: you know. Theme and these stories, Drew is how nice

745
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: you think you are? And in my experience, I was

746
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: a huge bitch. I know. Well, it's funny that you

747
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: say that, because I think I pres I get off

748
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: on the fact that I present as nice. But yeah,

749
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: I think when you get to know me, I definitely

750
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: have a bitchy side and I can be a little biting,

751
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: but I don't really like to let that out for

752
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: just just anyone, you know. Yeah, I feel the same way.

753
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: I think that is honestly, one of the most beautiful

754
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: parts of being gay is um presenting as nice and

755
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: then being literally a depraved Exactly. It's you can choose you.

756
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: You can choose who your family is, and you can

757
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: also choose who you're going to be a bit too

758
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: or who you're going to let and it is everyone

759
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: depending on the audience exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's

760
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: fun to be like, like, I also am, Like I'll

761
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: be mean to people and I'll be like sort of biting,

762
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: and like I also will be like kind of nasty

763
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: sometimes and I'll be like like present like floody or gross,

764
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is fun because everyone knows I'm

765
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: like a sweet boy, and I'm starting to be like,

766
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: maybe not anymore, like I feel the same way. I

767
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: feel actually the same way. It's because I actually, I

768
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: think this is also similar to how like I was

769
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: such a good student in high school and then I

770
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: think I just always had it in my mind like,

771
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: no matter what I do, I like identify as a

772
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: good student. And then I slowly worked less and less hard.

773
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: And then at the end of college I was like, wait,

774
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: am I can I actually call myself a good student anymore?

775
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: Or do or was I just a good student in

776
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: eighth grade? And I think that's kind of how I

777
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: feel about being a nice person, where I like, I

778
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: think of myself as being very like kind and generous

779
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: and helpful. And then I'm like, let's look at the fact. Yeah,

780
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit resting on our laurels. It's like

781
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: resting on our laurels because at one point we were

782
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, deeply kind of like repressed that

783
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, it came out in the very meek, um,

784
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, quiet nice personality, and it's like, when was

785
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: the last time I actually acted like that? Who knows?

786
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: Even years I fell I fell back into that with

787
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: my family, though sometimes I kind of fall back into

788
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: that dynamic really easily quiet and nice with your family?

789
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: Do I act nice? Very much? So interesting? I'm like,

790
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: so well, I don't know. I mean, it's also like

791
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: whatever I grew up in a very loud it's just

792
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: literally like all guards are down when I'm home. I'm

793
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: absolutely silent around my family, like yes, like to the

794
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: point where gets like annoyed when we go visit my

795
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: parents and He'll be like, why don't you talk? And

796
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is how I am with them, Like

797
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: I just fully turn off. It's great. I don't know.

798
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: I was always I think it's a hard I don't.

799
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what it is because I don't

800
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: think it's a good quality. And I like wish I

801
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: could be more open and fun and myself, but I'm

802
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: always very shut down when I'm around them. Um well, wait, Drew,

803
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: what family member take to prom your senior year? Um? So,

804
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: senior year was huge because I am my best friend

805
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: growing up Ali. Um we promised to each other when

806

Speaker 1: she moved to l A from New York into in

807
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: sophomore year that, um, it is very dramatic. She was like,

808
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm moving away. Let's promise to each other that I'll

809
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: go to York prom in New York and you'll come

810
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: to my prom in l A. She went to to

811
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: you did she flew coastal prom by coastal prom by

812
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: coastal prom. She came to my prom um and you know,

813
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: in New York, and then I flew to l A.

814
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: I have to really make up for the rest of

815
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: your problems, the fact that you had a bi coastal

816
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: prom in senior year. Yeah, yeah, I mean I know that,

817
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: I know the whole me going with my cousin through

818
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: everyone for a loop knocked me down a little bit.

819
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, this was like pretty crazy. I have a question.

820
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: What is a corsage? What is a corsage that's the

821
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: one that goes on the wrist or the one that

822
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: goes in the shirt goes on the wrist. But like,

823
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,479
Speaker 1: I just remember that was one of those American things

824
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: that once I found out what it was, I was like, Oh,

825
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: this country's something's off here. I will I problem never

826
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: feels natural, like it's not like here we go like

827
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: like I do feel like like things like Christmas are

828
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: bizarre but they feel like you're like, Okay, I've done

829
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: this enough when this is like it feels normal to

830
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: like put like ornamental or whatever. But like I think

831
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: there's an there's like kind of an underlying sadness with

832
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: problem because it's like I feel like straights, especially like

833
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: I feel like it's their big moment because it's like

834
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll have that moment again. Yeah,

835
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, like at their wedding. Yeah, their wedding.

836
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: That's why like straight people get really excited about these

837
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of things, but like I was never it never

838
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: was that exciting to me because I think in the

839
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: back of my mind, I was like, this won't be

840
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: my last time. Sure that you have actually kept going

841
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: to prom every year since graduating. Yeah, I've been going.

842
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, I've been going all kinds and you always

843
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: bring you always bring an age appropriate date. You go

844
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: with someone of your you know, same age as you

845
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: that you're dating. Just you go to a high school prom,

846
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: exactly right, exactly right. I really wanted to. I think

847
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: I was on the prom committee at one of my

848
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: high schools because I love the tail. So that is

849
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: like the planning stages and you get to like pick

850
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: the theme and stuff. And I remember thinking it would

851
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: be so funny to do like like I want to

852
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: do like a funny theme, uh like like like shipwreck

853
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: or something like. I thought it would be funny to like,

854
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: uh kind of you know, put my little sam spin

855
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: on it and make it a little bit weird and

856
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: alter heardative comedy. I like that shipwreck was your example

857
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: of making it a little weird. Well, it was sort

858
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: of playing with the form because it's like not that

859
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: weird where it's like like they thought it was like

860
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: pretending to be normal. Like I was like, oh interesting,

861
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: Like it was like, how funny would it be to

862
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 1: be like shipwreck or like under the sea. And they're like, oh,

863
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: that's fun. And I'm like, you dummies, like in your

864
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: mind you're like, oh my god, they are falling right

865
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: into my track. Could you gad that if you roll

866
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: up the prominent's shipwreck theme? Come on, I have to say,

867
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't no offense. But under the Sea, first of all,

868
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: seems completely normal to me, George. People don't belong under

869
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: the sea. This is an absurd premise. Yeah, well it's

870
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 1: a theme, just like a theme can be, you know. Um, uh,

871
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, cowboys, but it doesn't mean you're gonna get shot. Okay, genius,

872
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: genius George. What would your prom theme be? Okay, that's

873
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: a good question. So um, I would say my prom

874
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: theme would be, uh, the future. That's a good one.

875
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's a good one. I think that whenever

876
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: I think about prom themes, I always just think about

877
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: never been kissed, like it was like famous couples throughout history.

878
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and everyone dressed. I thought it was

879
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: such a good theme. Wow, was silent. It was a

880
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: great Okay. If you were trying to say, here's what

881
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: I want to know, if you're trying to sabotage a prom,

882
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: what is the thing that you kicked? I think actually

883
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: the best for I think a really fun sabotage the

884
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: prom theme would be, um, airport air floud? In what

885
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: way are you trying to sabotage it? Like, are you

886
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: trying to say take it? Like just like make it bad? Okay,

887
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: So just like, what's the worst theme you can think of? Yeah,

888
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: what's the worst? Okay? I guess my worst theme would

889
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: be like something like racist, Oh no, toward not that

890
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, then I would really sabotage it if I

891
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: made the theme you know, uh, problematic Halloween costumes. Okay,

892
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: that actually is a really good theme. Um. The school

893
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: that was, like the school that was right next to mine,

894
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: did like a colored theme um for their for their

895
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 1: prom and they did, yes, yes, and it was horrible, horrible.

896
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: People were yeah, yeah, no, no, they picked a specific

897
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: color it was I can't even remember. It was like

898
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: they picked like it was like a purple color and

899
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: everyone had to wear purple. I thought you were doing

900
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: something like they did. Like literally, they were like, our

901
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: problem is racist. No, no, no, no no. Um, well

902
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: that sounds awful too. The thing also about problem is

903
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: like the looks are always so bad and no one

904
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: even thinks they look good in the moment they like

905
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm like, I guess girls think they look

906
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: good and they're like prom dresses. I don't bet you though,

907
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: that's changing because now everyone is being a fashionista on

908
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: social media and I feel like now kids that are

909
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: eighteen are showing up in like, you know, supreme like streetwear.

910
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah no, they wouldn't do that in there's a strict

911
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: dress code to promms. Yeah, this is a sacred night

912
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: for America say, I understand that the dresses are mad,

913
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: but to me, there's nothing worse than the male out there.

914
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: Like when you see guys that have like a colored vest,

915
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: like a powder pool vest, or like a flower that

916
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: matches the corsage. It's really very sad. I don't think.

917
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, for every gay person on Earth, prom

918
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: photos are like a weird black mail, Like they're like

919
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: just like a stain on their past that can be

920
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: dug up at any time. Yeah, Like I mean, like Drew,

921
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: we could literally ruin your life if we found these

922
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: sures of you with your cousin that problem. Honey, I'll

928
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:34,719

939
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: by Usher. Everyone went everyone went wild for that for Yeah. Specifically,

940
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: it was like one of those songs that just it

941
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: was huge. Can I actually confess something? Sure? When I

942
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: was still living in New Jersey, there was at one

943
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: point some kind of assembly where I performed in a

944
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: parody of Yeah under the rap name Little George, like

945
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:56,479
Speaker 1: I was doing a little John part. And then my friend, well,

946
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean we haven't spoken in years, but my friend

950
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,400

951
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: went with Nate Dogg even though it was ludicrous and

952
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: not Nate dog that was in that song. Yeah, two

00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: thousand four was a big was a big year for

954
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: pop music was that that was the year of what

955
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: was that Snoop Dogg song like um dropping like It's Hot.

956
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: That was a huge year. And also it was I mean,

957
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: Usher just had a huge year. He That was also

958
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: the year of burn. Yeah, and that was like Confessions

959
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: Part one and two. Yes, yes, it was also Avril

960
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: Levine at a moment that year, I mean it was

961
00:58:52,080 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: he was like yeah, and Ashley Simpson too, that was

962
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: her here there was her year. Oh my god, um, George,

963
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: do you think you understand prom No, Wait, I want

964
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: to say one thing. The other day, I was like,

965
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: and by the other day, I do mean years ago.

966
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: I said something. I was like trying to relate to

967
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: someone by being like ironically liking Evanescence and being like, okay,

968
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: e Vanescence, like did that ha ha? And then this

969
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: friend of mine was like dragging me for for thinking

970
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: Evanescence could even be appreciated ironically, and I had to say, actually,

971
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: I think Evanescence can be appreciated ironically. If you're still

972
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: in a place where you feel they need to shame

973
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: someone for liking evan Essence, that means you haven't dealt

974
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: with your high school trauma, that it's true you're holding

975
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: onto some form of power that is clearly based on

976
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: high school. You have to agree that that song where

977
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: the guys like wake me Up, that's a good song.

978
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's a vibe like Evan, that is a vibe.

979
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: That's a vibe. And the ballad where she's like, uh,

980
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: what's the ballad where she's like, I'm looking at it,

981
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I keep wanting to sing every time

982
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: by Britney Spears. I keep wanting to be like, what

983
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: the world she's like fallen with me? I love that

984
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: evidence song. I wait, they should cover it. Wait, but

985
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's the Immortal, My Wortal,

986
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Like My Immortal is a classic. Wait how it's like, um,

987
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I can't breathe. It's like, what true?

988
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: What you got? The vibe of it? That's what actually

989
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: remember how it goes. I'm so tired of being oh, yeah,

990
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: there you go, there you go. Yeah, I'm not going

991
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: to sing the whole song. I mean, I'm looking at

992
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: these lyrics and they're these wounds and seem to hear. Yes,

993
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: just too real. There's just too much that time. Time

994
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: cannot Okay, yeah, that's that's that's a I'm sorry, I

995
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: was definitely doing if you can't recognize it, that's a hit.

996
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's dark. I mean you no one should

997
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: shame you for that. Absolutely not. Yeah. I feel like

998
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: there's something about growing up and being like like letting

999
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: go of the hate of like stupid music, Like as

1000
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: soon as you're like okay, no, I actually just I'm

1001
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna listen to Ashley Simpson and it's not going to

1002
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: be like stupid, and it's like why not? Like but

1003
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: also like also music has, like especially pop music has

1004
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: gotten so terrible that it's like to hear those songs,

1005
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's a little cheesy, but a lot

1006
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: of those songs are actually really good, Like I'm big

1007
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: serious Ashley Simpsons. Some of them, I mean, she's I

1008
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: mean laughable, but some good pop songs. It's true. Pieces

1009
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of Me is a great pop song. I do GE's

1010
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: so funny to um be Like pop music now is

1011
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: really bad, but back then like to be like a

1012
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: like a grumpy dad about me was like not like

1013
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: it's about actually Simpson like now that with real music

1014
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: like no, but I just mean, like everything's auto tune

1015
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: and it's like when I listened to the radio now,

1016
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this? Yeah? Really Simpson was singing live.

1017
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: She was like we didn't we just like didn't know

1018
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: that literally Actuley Simpson is most known for lip sinking.

1019
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: And we kept being like, I mean, no one sings

1020
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: live like actually Simpson, she had a babe, she had

1021
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the point, she had the snipe. I don't know why

1022
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: she was my my go too, but like, I mean, listen,

1023
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: can I also say get some good songs. Peeve of

1024
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Mine is when people are like, no, I mean it's

1025
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: just an incredible pop song. Like I feel like it's

1026
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: like people being like broke, people trying to be science

1027
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, great pop song. It's like, oh shut up,

1028
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: it's dumb as hell, just like all of them, and

1029
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I love Yeah. Well that was like literally what I

1030
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: just did on this podcast. Okay, here's what I will say.

1031
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: You know what is a great pop song? Yeah by Usher?

1032
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: You know that is just a great It is that

1033
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: I would say that about Yeah by Usher? Then it

1034
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: is just a great pop song. Yeah, yeah, it really is.

1035
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean the simplicity of him, the chorus is just yeah,

1036
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: I think I do that when I'm when I'm like

1037
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: feeling a little anxious about my love of it, I'm

1038
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, I am, I coming from science,

1039
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: from science, there is I agree with you, Sam that

1040
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: it is annoying when people say things like that. But

1041
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: then other other times it will be songs that are

1042
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: like bad pop songs, and you want to like make

1043
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a distinction between that and like a good one. I

1044
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: do think it's hard to tell, though, because even bad

1045
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: pop songs are like I feel like, with a little

1046
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: dose of irony. Then it's like, well, now I actually

1047
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: love this. Wait have you heard then you Jordan's Sparks

1048

1061
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: when randomly, like a straight guy will be like actually

1062
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift like she's like a good like songwriter. Oh,

1063
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy, you know, honestly, it's like we're

1064
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of dragging like Slate Culture gap Fest. People kind

1065
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: exactly what we're dragging. And you know what, it's been

1066
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: a while since we've talked about this like culture gap Fest,

1067
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: which may might I add, has gone downhill since Quarantine

1068
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: started to say I am. It's literally like do you

1069

Speaker 1: listen to Drew Yes? Oh my god? Thank god? Well,

1070
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: why why didn't we talk about that from the very

1071
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: beginning our topics Slate Culture gap Fest? We should actually

1072
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: do we should do an episode just about the Slate

1073
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Culture gap Fest. I think that would be genius. Yeah,

1074
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: it has gone completely downhill, But they also are the

1075
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: kings and queens of having literally like a man on

1076
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: who's like Taylor Shift is actually a pretty good songwriter

1077
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: like and then and then like very performatively being like

1078
01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,760

Speaker 1: you know, say what you will about you know the

1084
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: topics that she's covering her or her fan base, but

1085
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: what she is, she's a great pop writer. It's just like,

1086
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: shut up, why does ever? Why a manfield? They need

1087
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: to overcome and say, just shut up, just shut up.

1088
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,959
Speaker 1: It's a stupid it's a stupid song, and it's fun

01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: because they did yeh. They don't want to be God forbid,

1090
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: someone thinks they're gay, right for just enjoying a song.

1091
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: You can just enjoy a song. You know now that

1092
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: it's no longer, now that it's no longer acceptable to

1101
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: final segment is called Shoutouts, and it is where we

1102
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: pay tribute to one of the biggest crowning achievements of

1103
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: straight culture, which is a radio shout out. And actually, Sam,

1104
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: I think I have one. Okay, I think I have

1105
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: one to Okay, what's up, listeners. I want to give

1106
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: a quick shout out to the edible my sister gave

1107
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: me last night when I was jet lagged, and it

1108
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: was at three am, and then I ate the Edible

1109
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: at three am was wide awake. And then at five thirty,

1110
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: when I was still wide awake, boy did I start

1111
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: tripping balls. And it happened as I was I'll say,

1112
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: it's sitting on the toilet to P and then I

1113
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: felt like I could not get up, and also that

1114
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the stream of P was a um like a rope

1115
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: that was tying me to the toilet. And so then

1116
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: I finally did get up and went to bed, and

1117
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: then I slept for ten full hours and woke up

1118
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: at four pm today and then had breakfast and reported

1119

1121
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: was not. It was not. I have to say I

1124
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: mean I was exaggerating a little bit, but like, it

1125
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: definitely made me feel like a you know, yeah, you know,

1126
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,560

1141
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out to the large kambucha that

1142
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: I bought today at the grocery store down the street

1143
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: from where I'm currently plant sitting. It was two times

1144
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: the regular size kombucha. I left the grocery store and

1145
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: I dropped it cracked. I tried to go back into

1146
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: the grocery store to see if they would refund the kombucha,

1147
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: and they refused, which was absolutely insane. UM, So I

1148
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: had to buy a new one. I brought it home.

01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: with complicated digestive systems like my own. Through What kind
