Wait, 168 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: that's from Talladega Nights. Shut up, shut up? Is that 169 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: not true? You're right, it's okay. I'm just embarrassed whenever 170 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: I quote a comedy from six that was like, that's 171 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: one of the to um quotes for movies like that 172 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: that I always come back to our if you're not 173 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: first or last. And then there was that other movie 174 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: where Chris Rock becomes president and his opponent says it 175 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: all who's I guess like quoted as a Republican and 176 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: all his speeches he ends them with God bless America 177 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: and no place else. Wait, that's really funny. You know, 178 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: it's great. Um, did we answer the squad question? No? 179 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: So the question is whether it's wrong to wish everyone 180 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: in the world was gay. I just want to say 181 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: I don't want everyone in the world to be gay, 182 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: and I like that we're a minority. Yeah, it's like 183 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: kind of fun. Um. I mean, there's already toxic enough 184 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: as it is being a minority. Imagine if we were 185 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: the majority. Oh, I mean, it would be some. It 186 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: would be a new form of evil. I mean, I 187 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: definitely wish more people were by. That's um, something I 188 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: I wish on this well, more people would be by 189 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: if we didn't constantly erase them. Thank you for that. Um. 190 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: And if so, if we can imaginally make straight to 191 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: the minority, would that be problematic? Um, I guess it 192 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: would be because you're messing up the natural order that 193 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: our Lord Jesus Christ intended. Well, I guess it's like 194 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: if we could there's a lot to unpact, because it's like, 195 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: if we could magically make straight seminarity, would that be problematic? 196 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean as witchcraft problematic. We're bringing 197 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: magic into this. Yeah, I guess it's problematic in the 198 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: sense that you're literally, um, what's the word appealing to 199 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: dark forces? Yeah, You're you're using something evil in order 200 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 1: to make this happen. And so in that sense it's problematic, 201 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: but I do think if you're gonna make the majority 202 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: of people gay, you might as well do it through 203 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: witchcraft and not legislation. All right, next question is it me?

But I'm becoming 254 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: more and more interested in pursuing the humanities and academia 255 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: a little further into grad school and beyond parentheses. Aware 256 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: this is cringe. I know you have your masters and 257 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: work and research, and you're published in really cool places. 258 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to know what you think. Should I consider 259 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: what do I need now? Or should I take my 260 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: BA in American Studies and get a twenty grand a 261 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: year and get training.

Here's my earnest answer to this, 263 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: don't ever pay for grad school. I was lucky enough 264 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: to go to to do a program that was fully 265 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,359 Speaker 1: funded and gave me a stipend every month and um, 266 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: I didn't have to take out any loads or anything. 267 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: And I think you should look for something like that 268 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: if you want to go into grad school, because it's 269 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: truly not worth paying for a master's unless you have 270 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: very um, unless you have unless you have money, unless 271 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: you're say to him, I to tell you where to 272 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: spend it.

Um. 324 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what else. Um, the pandemic. Yeah, 325 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: it's very um, family oriented, this pandemic. It's very like 326 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: stay inside, like love your love, who you're with, and 327 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: it's like it's like, no, that's not what we do. 328 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: And then all all pandemic culture like both um, both 329 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: like breaking the pandemic rules and calling people out for 330 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: breaking them are both straight. Yeah, it's yeah, you're correct. Also, 331 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: Ted Lasso, I've never seen it, but it seems very straight. Yeah, 332 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: I have to agree. I don't know what it is, 333 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's one of the things where people are like, 334 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, there's no politics, it's just 335 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: good old fashioned fun. And it's like, well, he's a Republican, 336 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: that's what that means. Oh wait, do you want to 337 00:20:54,359 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: be the last one that this person asked? Um? Yeah, okay. 338 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: Over the over the course of global history, has culture 339 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: generally become straighter or queerer? My answer to this is straighter. 340 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna agree with you because it used to be 341 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: more vague I think as cultural. Yes, more vague and fluid. 342 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying obviously people were killed, but as 343 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: things go on, there are just more rules. Yeah. One 344 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: of the biggest paradoxes of our era, and by our era, 345 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: I mean the entirety of history is that the more 346 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: people feel like they have more freedom, the more actually 347 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: there are more rules to follow. And I'm not going 348 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: to expand on that. I'm so tired of. Here's what 349 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: I want. I want more public nudity. Want like, you know, 350 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: pools used to be like, well, yeah, you're naked. They're like, 351 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: we do that again. Sounds so fun. Yeah, I mean 352 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: there are definitely places you can go to do that, 353 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: but again, more rules. It's like you have to find 354 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: those places. Yeah, And because there's more rules, it's like, well, 355 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: and also you have to have sex there. Now it's like, 356 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: well maybe there, maybe I just want to be naked 357 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: in a pool like um, okay, well, great answer.

I now pronounce you, Chuck 372 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: and Larry. Would you have taken a different casting rout 373 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: with the leads? Who would be your two thousand seven 374 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: dream team? Mm hmm, okay, Okay. So I'm keeping Kevin James. 375 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: I think you know, he's the bread and butter of 376 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: the film, and um, the hot the hottest part, obviously, 377 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: I think, um, maybe Adam Sandler I would replace. If 378 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: it's two thousand seven, I'm replacing Adam. Standing there with 379 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: the guy who plays the coach in Friday Night Lights. 380 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't know his name, but but also he also 381 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: has that ted Lasso thing where it's like is he 382 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: hot or is here Republican? I know, and that that 383 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: border really gets me sometimes. Yeah, no, I got that. 384 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: I got that. Um, And so you know, I don't 385 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: know his name, but I remember in two thousand seven 386 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: being like, Okay, something is up with that. Yeah, okay. 387 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: I have a follow up question that's not in this email, 388 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: but I think it's interesting, which is how would you 389 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: cast Let's say they made a now pronouncy Chuck and 390 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: Larry now, but it was kind of like self aware 391 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: and there was like a gay sensitivity consultant and it 392 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: was like, you know, um, more woke or whatever. Who 393 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: would you cast now? Is it still too straight guys? 394 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: Or straight? Is it's still too straight guys? But like 395 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: the way they do the story, it's just like less 396 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: offensive or something interesting. Um. I mean, I think my 397 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: three options for Chuck Chuck is Kevin James, right, Chuck 398 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: is Adam Sandler. Okay, well, my three options for Larry 399 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: are Seth Rogan. That's what I was gonna say. Zakalafanakish 400 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: fun or um Jonah Hill. Sure? Okay, wait, actually I 401 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: haven't answered in my own question. I think it should 402 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: be Jonah Hill and Michael Sarah that is unfortunately genius obviously. 403 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't think Jonah Hill has a 404 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: softness you need for the role of um Larry. But 405 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: I would rather go with a Seth Rogan type. But 406 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: teach their own, and I respect Jonah Hill if he 407 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: turns out an incredible performance. Okay, Uh does this have 408 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: any other well, she says. She says, she has a 409 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: last paragraph that's very nice to us and and we 410 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: thank you, but we're too embarrass to read it out loud. Okay. 411 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: Next question. Okay, So this one's from Charlie, who wrote, um, 412 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: I love your podcast so much. In Time, I mentioned 413 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: that I featured you guys an article I wrote on 414 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: my favorite pieces of arts and culture this year. You 415 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: can read it here. So this is a very nice 416 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: review written by Charlie, and George shared it and people 417 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: thought we were with I think you said something like like, George, 418 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: is something that this person was mean to us? Or 419 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: something like I just I, first of all, I love 420 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: So this review is like adopting. I think a sense 421 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: of humor very similar to ours and is kind of 422 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: like intentionally bitchy and and ironic. And I shared the 423 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: review thinking people would get the joke, and then everyone 424 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: started defending us, and it was like, wait, that's not 425 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. The cost to the pod. 426 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: We love you, Charlie, and sorry forever to about people 427 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: harassing you because I posted your review. We didn't mean 428 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: to doc to you and sometimes Straighter Lap has quickly 429 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: become one of my favorite podcast Thank you. The last 430 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: two episodes with Julio and Nori were amazing. Agreed. I 431 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: realized that I have some Julio esque parts of my personality, 432 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: and I wondered, if you do have any advice on 433 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: how to be warmer with people they drag? Julio, Okay, 434 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: this is one of the best questions we've gotten. So 435 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: what is our advice to someone, specifically Stephen Um, who 436 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: wants to be warmer with people? I think I sometimes, 437 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: I think both of us sometimes struggle with this. Yeah, 438 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: it comes and goes. I think if it's an earnestness bonanza, 439 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: I think try to Um just like you know, treat 440 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: everyone the same. Like I think, like sort of a 441 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: treat other time you want to be treated type of vibe, 442 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: don't uh like yeah, just like be I feel like, 443 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: just like be nice, like like consider other people's feelings. 444 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: It's not super hard, I would sound a more micro 445 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: level eye contact goes a long way. A little smile, 446 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: smile asking people quit take up part. Whenever you have 447 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: a conversation, take a pause and and think to yourself, 448 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: how much have I asked the other person? How much 449 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: has the other person asked me? Make sure you are 450 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: reciprocating the attention you're getting. Um in terms of being warmer, 451 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean also I think it's not a bad thing 452 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: to be kind of cold, like a touch cold, like 453 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: not actively mean, but like a little self like you 454 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: don't need to like play the games. Like sometimes I 455 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: can annoy it myself when I'm like laughing too much 456 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: or like beaming too much, and it's like, hey, hey, hey, 457 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: have some self respect. Like you don't want being warm 458 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: and forthcoming and also being completely fake, right, it's because 459 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: in fact you're fake nice. That's much more cold than 460 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: just being cold and honest about it. Yes, but I 461 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: would say Julio is a good example of ah that 462 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: he's just not fake. Yeah, and he's very warm, warm, 463 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: and you when you have a conversation with him, you 464 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: do get the sense that he's listening to you and 465 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: is interested. Yes, and it's funny. I feel like that 466 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: podcast EPP was like a huge misrepresentation of what Julio is, 467 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: but in a way that obviously was very funny. And 468 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: I think he likes to perform that sort of persona. Well, 469 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: we're all performing a version of our persona on that episode. Yeah. 470 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: Um so so you know, sometimes we get so caught 471 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: up in being ah fuck Katy Perry that we forget 472 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: how to be Katherine Hudson. And I also want to say, 473 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: if you're worried about how warm you are with people, 474 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: you're already winning that. It's like, yes, that means you 475 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: have empathy and want to be a good person. Yeah, 476 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: don't change anything. You're beautiful, Stephen. Is this me? Yeah? 477 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: How should I deal with my conservative media watching uncle 478 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: at this year's Zoom Christmas gathering? Um? Unfortunately we are 479 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: recording this after Christmas, So I hope that that went 480 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: okay for you. Yeah, best of luck to you. Next question, Uh, hi, guys, 481 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: this is from ailor.

Wow, 490 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: that's an interesting side effect. I liked to hear some 491 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: trend predictions for the coming year. What will be the 492 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: next superfood? What kind of new superheroes will they come 493 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: up with?

I love this question. Okay, 499 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: I have actually a legitimate prediction, which is that great 500 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: food is going to become trendy. What makes you feel 501 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: this way? Because I think it's I think it's time, 502 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: and I also think hear me out. The white media 503 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: establishment is scared of um making kind of like non 504 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: white foods trendy because they will be accused of um, 505 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, being tourists and cultural appropriation all this stuff. 506 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: So they are really on the lookout for new European 507 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: foods that can be made trendy so that they're not problematic. Now, 508 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: Italian has been done, has been done, has been done, 509 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: but long enough ago that you can bring it back 510 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: with like a you know, kind of a twist. So 511 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, there's gonna be spennic up at a 512 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: pop ups, There's going to be kind of back lava 513 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: food truck festivals, so just be on the lookout for that. 514 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: I think that's um genius. Um. I I hope our 515 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: pants don't don't get too baggy this year. I'm sick 516 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: of the fashion like huge ass pants, and I hope, 517 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: um we can find some sort of middle ground and 518 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: and just wear a sort of a slightly loose fitting pant. Yeah. 519 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: I have to say I accidentally bought and I need 520 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: to return. I just like didn't read it correctly and 521 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: accidentally bought truly a pair of like skinny jeans, like 522 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: we're popular, you know, let's say seven eight years ago, 523 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: and it just like brought me back at that time, 524 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, Yes, baggy pants 525 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: are bad, but I'm so glad that we're at least 526 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: moving in that direction. That's a good point. I mean, 527 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: I think people are going to be slutty. I'm seeing 528 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot of like, uh yolo mindset once pandemic is over, 529 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: and so I think people will be taking some bold swings. 530 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: I hope they are at least Yeah. Um. I think 531 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: in terms of media, TV TV good TV is over 532 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: quote him, media is dead, Journalism is dad. Uh. And 533 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: I think bread is dead. I think no one's gonna 534 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: be eaten bread. Bread is dad. This is from Eric Hey, 535 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: George and Sam slashed George and Sam whoops?

Is this but one 544 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: manifestation of the deep seated narcissism all gay men have 545 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: is even asking that question proof of my homophobia, even 546 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: though it's premises correct. Thanks, well, Eric, there's a certain 547 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: performance to this email, and I think that's more um 548 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: gamail narcissism than you actually submitting a question. Yeah, it's 549 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: so this question reads to me is sort of like, hey, 550 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm here, like like it'd be nice to be noticed. 551 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: Here's what I'll submitting questions for Q and A S 552 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: and for podcasts is straight. But then creating this mythology 553 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: about yourself for like it's all because you, um, it's 554 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: all because you have deep narcissism and are kind d 555 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: of like self aware about your efforts to get attention. 556 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: That is gay. Yeah, so we agree with the assumption 557 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: that you make that you are gay. You are you? Eric, Honey, 558 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: you are gay? Next question, You're a faggot? Harry. Okay, 559 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: you do this one, Hi, George and Sam slash Sam 560 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: and George Why do people keep doing this? I don't 561 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: know where, like not that sensitive about whose name is first? 562 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: This is from um Vincent. Okay, I love the pod. 563 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 1: I would not be it would not be a proper 564 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: Q and A if someone didn't ask a two part questions. 565 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: So here I go. Question one, George, on Clara Kine's episode, 566 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: you expressed how you didn't have many hobbies growing up 567 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: because your life was organized around your parents strict academic expectations. 568 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: How do you think your difficulty to develop interests outside 569 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: of parental expectations impact your ability to be earnest? Huh, 570 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: that's a really good question. I do think um Uh. 571 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: I think something I've learned in therapy is that, uh, 572 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: the way my basically, I made a lot of decisions 573 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: growing up, um based on how I could or in 574 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: attempts to hide things from my parents. And I think 575 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: once I moved out of the house, I just um 576 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 1: insert other people in my life into the parental figure 577 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: uh space and then kind of um constantly I'm doing 578 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: things in secret from someone I love that. I know 579 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: what you mean in terms of how I in terms 580 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: of how this has impacted my ability to be earnest, 581 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: I think my ability to be earnest is more impacted 582 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: by the fact that and this is I think a 583 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: good part of my family. My family is everyone in 584 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: my family, I would say is pretty funny. And we 585 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: bond by like making one of one another. And I 586 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: think that then got me into trouble when I moved out, 587 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: because I thought that's how everyone bonded. And then I 588 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: made many people cry in high school in college because 589 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: I would just like offend them. Um. Question to Sam, 590 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: You've mentioned that you shut down when you return home 591 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: to visit your family. How do you think your difficulty 592 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: accessing emotions at home is connected to your difficulty accessing 593 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: earnestness in everyday life. I have to say, Vincent, these 594 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: questions are really good. Yeah, this is really smart. Um Uh. 595 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: I think it's similar to George's answer. I was used 596 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: to uh hiding myself at home, and then like, when 597 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: I left home, I was like, wait, I'm like able 598 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: to be really social and fun and I'm like actually 599 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: very talkative and have a lot of opinions and stuff. Um. 600 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: But then whenever I'm home, I'm like, well, wait, how 601 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: do I like let them in on this more casual 602 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: version of myself and I like with my friends. I'm 603 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: more I only like the casualness and need to work 604 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: on accessing the deeper stuff. And sorry, this is still 605 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: Vincent's email. Uh two more questions or at two more comments, 606 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: they say, keep is she there yet? And use it 607 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: as a closing segment when you don't feel like doing 608 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: shoutouts thank you, I will. I would love to do 609 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: that in fact. And second of all, if either of 610 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: you is interested in learning more about Kinsey Ones, you 611 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: should read not Gay Sex between Straight White Men by 612 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: gen Ward. Okay, I have to say I'm clicking on 613 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: this now. I think maybe this person was at some 614 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: point on the Slight Culture gab Fest, which we both 615 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: listen to. Yeah, I remember hearing about this book. Um, 616 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: but I do a radio lab book club. This this book, 617 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 1: it's occurring to me, this book is truly the crux 618 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 1: of our podcast. Well, we should read it so we're 619 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: more more informed. It's it's about how like what is 620 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: the difference between gay and straight? What like? How do 621 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: we draw the lines? Is it gay to be straight? 622 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: Is it straight to be gay? Okay, well then actually 623 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say don't read this book because you need 624 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: to be listening to our podcast instead, and if they're 625 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: saying sort of the same thing, then we're in direct 626 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: competition with this book and we should silence it based 627 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: on our podcast, not the other way around. Next question, 628 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: and that is from Vincent. They say best a non 629 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: binary listener who surprisingly isn't named mix Emma and did 630 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: not go to Bard, but did go to a liberal college, 631 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: Liberal Arts College and Upstate New York. Okay, hold on, 632 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: I wonder what college they want to. There's like so 633 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: many that's impossible.

This tweet was then retweeted by the Stradio 660 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: Lab Twitter account, which I will have to assume is 661 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: an endorsement, as there was no clarification anywhere on the 662 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: Stradio Lab Twitter accounts start stating that retweets are not endorsements, 663 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: the plot thickens. Thank you for your time, Kelly. Hi, 664 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: a week has gone by. Glamour Girls is a runaway 665 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: hit despite the two aforementioned discrepancies. Glamor Girls with you 666 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: that is, I just want something on the record. I 667 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: feel as though I'm on the verge of a metaphorical 668 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: act of violence. Please, I'm begging you, Kelly, Kelly, I 669 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: really must get your evesigative journalism. I am scared that 670 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: we've created some sort of terrorists with our um unclearness 671 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: metaphoric act of violence. It's something I want to know. 672 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to create a metaphor that is so toxic 673 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I think we've settled on with 674 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 1: the you you, and I have to say the idea 675 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: that there's an American spelling without AU is a little 676 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: fake news. I also think, I mean, obviously Glamour Girls, 677 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: as some of our previous questions have shown. I mean, 678 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: it's a global movement and we want to include all people. 679 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 1: And I know sometimes I can be sort of you 680 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: know America first um on this podcast, and I want 681 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: to say I'm not I'm not like that, like, yeah, 682 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: you know it's all in act and Congress has a 683 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: Republican but that's yeah. I do want to say using 684 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: spelling lamber girl with a you is the equivalent of 685 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: saying folks with an X.

We don't believe this at all. 721 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 1: But politics, it would really I'm surprised at how like 722 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: straightforwardly political.

It is a 790 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: simultaneously the funniest, smartest and dumbest thing, and it consistently 791 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: makes me actually laugh out loud at work. You're both okay, 792 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 1: this is very sweet, but I'm not going to read 793 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: the rest because I'm embarrassed. I don't really know the Okay, 794 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 1: So here's the all right, this is someone who is 795 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: asking us for advice, which is um, which not a 796 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: lot of people did. So it's very exciting. Well, and 797 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: to their to the other people's credit, is not really 798 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 1: the premise? Um, do we say what the premise was? 799 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 1: We just said to stand us questions. We said send 800 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: us questions. You know. The holiday Ernest's Bonanza, I think 801 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: implies like the whole thing was like we are ironic 802 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: and untrue and so we want to be honest with you, 803 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: and so I think it was sort of implied that 804 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 1: it was to ask us questions about ourselves. But I 805 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: do love that you're queering that and sort of asking 806 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:39,879 Speaker 1: about you. Um so I think, um let's let's let 807 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: me read this this It's just one paragraph, Okay. I 808 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: recently started casually hooking up with my friend who's in 809 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 1: an open relationship, and it's been really fun. But I'm 810 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: starting to worry that us consistently hooking up might be 811 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: breaking the rules of their openness or crossing some sort 812 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: of boundary. I don't know anyone else who's open, so 813 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: I can't tell if my anxiety about this stems from 814 00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm hooking up with someone who's in 815 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: a really sationship even though it's open and so it 816 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,919 Speaker 1: just feels taboo, or if I'm being neurotic, or if 817 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: this is my gut telling me something else is going on. 818 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 1: I want to keep hooking up with him while being 819 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 1: respectful of his relationship, but also realized that ultimately it's 820 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: not any of my business if it's against the rules 821 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,879 Speaker 1: or not. Is it appropriate for me to ask about 822 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: the rules of their open relationship to find out, or 823 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 1: should I just not worry about it and continue hooking 824 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: up with him? Trusting that it's okay. I think I 825 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 1: have something I could say about this, But Sam, what 826 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:33,240 Speaker 1: do you think. I think you're certainly allowed to ask 827 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: what their rules of their open relationship are. I think 828 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,800 Speaker 1: you're feeling Yeah, you're like self conscious about doing it 829 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: multiple times, but like if I do, think it's like 830 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 1: on Like, if you're keeping the correct boundaries and just 831 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: following like what they're telling you, then you're fine. Uh, 832 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: It's it's on them to set up the boundaries. I 833 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: think here's my earnest answer. I think you are maybe 834 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 1: focusing on the rules of their open relationship because you 835 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: are actually starting to develop feelings for this person, and 836 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 1: rather than than interrogating that, it seems more um distant 837 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,280 Speaker 1: and safe to worry about the rules of that person's 838 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: open relationship. And so I think maybe rather than trying 839 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: to investigate that which is outside of you, you should, 840 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: or you can, uh spend some time asking yourself about 841 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: your own feelings and deciding how you feel about this person. 842 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: And I think George is correct. Okay, this is from Ryan. Hi. 843 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: Your show is such a joy. I have laughed a 844 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 1: lot listening to you too over the past few months. 845 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: I am genuinely curious about how and why you started 846 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: this podcast, how you think it's going, and what happened 847 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: to your producer from the first few episodes. Thank you 848 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: for doing what you do. I love this question. I 849 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: think we wanted to work on something together. I think 850 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 1: we both like needed I think especially when we were 851 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: both doing stand up a lot it and and kind 852 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, doing writing jobs here and there, 853 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: and and constantly submitting to things and all this stuff. 854 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: It starts to feel like you're not really in control 855 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: of a lot of things that are happening professionally, Like 856 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,359 Speaker 1: it seems like you're always waiting for someone to hire you, 857 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: or waiting for someone to book you, or you know, 858 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 1: you go, you're doing a show, and you can control 859 00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: what the audience will be, like, where you are, the 860 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 1: line up, whatever, and it it's difficult to to have 861 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,879 Speaker 1: something that you feel fully in control of. I think 862 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 1: to me, at least, that was one of the big 863 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 1: reasons why doing something like this seemed appealing, because it's 864 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 1: something that you can fully own and grow and like 865 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: being charge of creatively. I fully agree. I think if 866 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: you return to the Julio episode, um, we do this 867 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: podcast because we want to spread our sense of humor, 868 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: and I think also we like I think we like 869 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: I think we like the podcast form. I think we 870 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: both had a lot of fun on other people's podcasts. 871 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: But I also think one thing we wanted to do 872 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: was be kind of meta about the idea. Like, we 873 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: thought there was nothing dumber than the idea of two 874 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,399 Speaker 1: gay comedians starting a podcast about straight culture. So then 875 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: we were like, what if we did that? And then 876 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: um kind of narrated it as we did, and that's 877 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 1: where we are. I think it's going well. I Um, 878 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: I am happy and with the response. I think we 879 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,280 Speaker 1: are being funny, and I think it is the proper 880 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:57,399 Speaker 1: dosage of weird and cookie and um honest about who 881 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,800 Speaker 1: we are as comedians. So in conclusion, we're doing everything correctly. 882 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: We're mad that we're not gonna be more pressed. Um 883 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,720 Speaker 1: we are, We're not getting any more pressed, but also 884 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: that adds to the underground element of it and also 885 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: how people are still finding us. Oh, I also want 886 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: to say listed as stand up instead of comedy on 887 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,760 Speaker 1: iTunes and we cannot figure out how to change. Please 888 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 1: write in if you have any advice. Happened to our 889 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,240 Speaker 1: producer from the first few episodes. We um killed him. Yeah, 890 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: he died by our hands, UM because he wanted too 891 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,439 Speaker 1: much UM praise for for for producing the podcast, and 892 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:43,280 Speaker 1: we said, you know what, enough time for you to die.

I don't 946 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: like to be like, here's what you do to have 947 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: an awesome relationship. I'm like, because it's hard and it's 948 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: uh it's always absolutely chemistry, which is not something that's replicable. Yeah, 949 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 1: you could do the same exact things you've done with 950 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: MESA with someone else in the relationship would not have worked, right, 951 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: So it's but it's been fun to be in a 952 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 1: long term relationship. This is my first one, and um, 953 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 1: it's very long and we are different. But then we 954 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: were at the beginning and that's cool. Love is this? 955 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: This is really boring? See this is my problem. I 956 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: think Ernest is boring and I'm I don't know what 957 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 1: to do about that. Okay, you're furious at Britt.

I mean, like I said, 1066 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: the one thing that's sticking with me is, at one 1067 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,720 Speaker 1: point someone asked us what our favorite movies were, and 1068 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 1: I did not answer earnestly. But I think that is 1069 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: just something I will have to carry. That is a 1070 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 1: baggage I will have to carry with me for the 1071 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 1: rest of my life.

What's crazy about this whole experience 1073 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: is We've answered a lot of questions and yet I 1074 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 1: still don't feel like we let anyone in on who 1075 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 1: we are. And I think this brings up an important 1076 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 1: point my Christmas, well, my um, what's the period between 1077 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 1: Christmas and New Year's The millennium? My millennium miracle is 1078 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm learning that you know, we are actually more uh, 1079 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,599 Speaker 1: we show you more of who we are through our 1080 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 1: humor and through trying to be funny and being uh 1081 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 1: taking sincere swings at what is funny rather than um 1082 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 1: earnestly answering questions. I'm sorry, I just was distracted because 1083 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 1: I realized that millennium is like the jokey name because 1084 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 1: it literally refers to the taint. It's not like an 1085 01:08:54,160 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: official word, and so I just and it was funny 1086 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 1: that I literally answered, or as you were, like, what 1087 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 1: is it called millennium? And then we just moved on 1088 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 1: when that's literally a pun on perennium meaning the taint. Wow, well, 1089 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,840 Speaker 1: this taint of the year. Um, it's a very specific 1090 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: feeling of this way, like every year, even though you 1091 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 1: know it's coming, every year, it feels strange. I love it. 1092 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 1: This is my favorite time.

I'm still 1095 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: in my apartment. I had I celebrated Christmas in New York, 1096 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 1: and I would I do normally like it if I'm 1097 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: with my family, But now I'm just like, well, this 1098 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 1: feels like all other days since March.
