Speaker 1: Look man, oh, I see you? Why why? Oh? And
Speaker 1: look over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness lost culture.
Speaker 1: He's just calling and I want to know your journey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's just fill everybody in. Um, there's been a
Speaker 1: gap in cultural knowledge that's been bridged. I would say
Speaker 1: since the last episode. It's only been a week. It's
Speaker 1: only been a week. But tell me, has everything not
Speaker 1: changed or has everything changed? Everything's changed? It's a true
Speaker 1: It's a truth inflection point in my life. It really is,
Speaker 1: and that is it's Um, I'm I'm on the Survivor
Speaker 1: train now, I'm watching Survivor. I can't believe I've slept
Speaker 1: on it for this long, for the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: Is it not the best thing you've done for yourself?
Speaker 1: In char here's what it is for me. I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is everybody's experience before. I have so
Speaker 1: much to say about this. I've searched to say about
Speaker 1: this outside of even just the show. But oh, I
Speaker 1: mean same, well here we here we go? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and then call it a social experiment for no reason.
Speaker 1: And that's actually rule culture number eighteen. They for no
Speaker 1: reason elaborate. I want to say that the reason why
Speaker 1: I think it's such a I just I just think
Speaker 1: it's having a moment right now where a lot of
Speaker 1: people are starting Survivor um. But I for me, it's
Speaker 1: like if I'm watching any old regular scripted show reality
Speaker 1: show where I'm like, oh, those people are at a
Speaker 1: bar and they're hanging out, like I get sad. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not experiencing that, but I'm if I'm watching Survivor,
Speaker 1: it's very interesting because these are people who I would
Speaker 1: not trade places with even now, and they're suffering and there,
Speaker 1: I mean, they get to socialize and touch other people,
Speaker 1: which is nice, but it's it's it's it's a really
Speaker 1: therapeutic watch where I'm like, if they can get through
Speaker 1: thirty nine days of this, I can get through thirty
Speaker 1: nine more, you know what I'm saying. And we have
Speaker 1: now passed thirty nine days. So I was actually thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, I started on day thirty nine of my quarantine.
Speaker 1: I started Survivor on date thirty nine, and that's huge
Speaker 1: and makes you iconic. Yes, And I just want to
Speaker 1: say that I was thinking to myself in my own
Speaker 1: home about how it had been thirty nine days, and
Speaker 1: I was like can you imagine going on an island,
Speaker 1: a hot island, hunt hot island during the day, perchance
Speaker 1: cold at night. And this is something that I don't
Speaker 1: tell you about Survivor is it's hot during the day,
Speaker 1: but it is cold at night. And that you know
Speaker 1: that's actually real culture number forty Survivor. It's hot, hot
Speaker 1: during the day, but it's night. And that's part of it, babe,
Speaker 1: that's part of it. But I was thinking, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is literally so hard, and I think that it is something.
Speaker 1: There's something to watching someone who is in a worse
Speaker 1: situation than us right now do their day to day Now,
Speaker 1: did you know? And I know that you know because
Speaker 1: you're the one who alerted me to it. But the
Speaker 1: Survivor read it, has heard that we have begun watching this.
Speaker 1: This is my this is my this is my whole
Speaker 1: sort of meta layer, uh sort of opinion on all
Speaker 1: this is that like, this is gonna be my ownt thing,
Speaker 1: so honey, but we are addressing you. Reddit. It doesn't
Speaker 1: even apply to It's not even Reddit. It doesn't even
Speaker 1: and it doesn't even specifically apply to Survivor. Here's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Any fandom is implicitly like pathetic and
Speaker 1: makes you a toxic person if you're if you're such
Speaker 1: a fan of something that like, Okay, first of all,
Speaker 1: let's just give context there. Apparently there's a reddit, a
Speaker 1: reddit threat on the Survivor subreddit where someone was like, man,
Speaker 1: all these social media gays quote unquote are really watching
Speaker 1: Survivor now, and I have such weird feelings about it
Speaker 1: because I want people to watch the show because I'm
Speaker 1: a fan, but I'm protective of my my, my fandom,
Speaker 1: which I guess. But then, but then this person goes
Speaker 1: on to say, like, for example, I just watched Bowen
Speaker 1: Yang on his instant story talk about how a thirteen
Speaker 1: year old season a thirteen year old season, and how
Speaker 1: Jonathan and Candice Bowen. Bowen's hot take was Jonathan and
Speaker 1: Candice mute need to railroad to ethnically cleanse Rarrow, which
Speaker 1: is not even a take, it's just factually what happened.
Speaker 1: Let's give a little bit of context here. Let's we
Speaker 1: have to give a little bit of context here, which
Speaker 1: is Bowen is watching the season of Survivor which is
Speaker 1: called Survivor Cook Islands, which it has been also dubbed
Speaker 1: Survivor Race Wars because what they did was and this
Speaker 1: was this was CBS's fault. They split the tribes up
Speaker 1: into the races. Okay, so this was controversial on their part.
Speaker 1: And so when people are on Survivor often what you
Speaker 1: do is you stick with your tribe to get numbers.
Speaker 1: And so it appeared that contestants were like, we gotta
Speaker 1: stick with our quote unquote tribe. Except it except you
Speaker 1: literally had Jonathan Penner say things and I quote we
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of the Asians. It's like, maybe he
Speaker 1: should have used the tribe's name there. Maybe yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: but it's like you no, no, no, no, but Matt,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It would you would never flip it.
Speaker 1: You never saw it flipped. Were like team like like
Speaker 1: Team Mom team formerly Puka was like, we gotta get
Speaker 1: rid of the white people. You you never you never
Speaker 1: like It's it's it's like there's there's no like reverse equivalent,
Speaker 1: there's no inverted equivalent. It's like whatever, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't have I don't I'm not gonna use my powers
Speaker 1: of persuasion to be like this is actually what happened.
Speaker 1: And like the people on this reddit thread were like, Wow,
Speaker 1: I gotta love snarky gaze who come up with a
Speaker 1: hot take on a season that's thirteen years old. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's not even a hot take. It's like, this is
Speaker 1: my interpretation of what happened. And it's like, okay, so
Speaker 1: then I shouldn't. So now I'm just like totally fine
Speaker 1: with not commenting on anything. Um No, truly, no, true,
Speaker 1: I'm not even being dramatic. I'm like, but this is
Speaker 1: what I'm really, this is what I'm realizing. I'm scoping
Speaker 1: out onto every kind of fan in like whether it's
Speaker 1: like I'm dealing with like final Fantasy bullshit, even SNL
Speaker 1: people who like love the show. I'm like, oh, the
Speaker 1: fact that you are so obsessed with this franchise, any franchise,
Speaker 1: and have such strong opinions about it, um to not
Speaker 1: even invite any other opinion at an opinion that seems
Speaker 1: like too new or is outside of like what you're
Speaker 1: familiar with, forget it. I don't. Well, A lot of
Speaker 1: people are protective over the things that they love, and
Speaker 1: that's that protective nature. Let me say something, and that
Speaker 1: protective nature can sometimes extend to I actually don't want
Speaker 1: anyone watching this but me and I'm right about it,
Speaker 1: which is not true and is dangerous but that but
Speaker 1: that's where they're coming from. But it's such a slippery
Speaker 1: slope to to to get to that place because now
Speaker 1: it's like even now it's like the drag race. People
Speaker 1: fandom who like are sending death threats to like some
Speaker 1: New York queens this season. I'm like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and any obsessive fandom is cucku crazy. That being said,
Speaker 1: I would love you to be obsessed with me. Ye,
Speaker 1: start to Reddit for Matt Rodgers and how your opinions
Speaker 1: and and please and while you're at it, can someone
Speaker 1: explain to me read it? Because every time I go
Speaker 1: on read it and I'm like, what is this? Is? That?
Speaker 1: Is this? I don't know, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: to do it. I feel that Reddit is difficult to navigating.
Speaker 1: It's it's not you spend like, you know, a few
Speaker 1: hours with it, get to know it. Maybe Google Google
Speaker 1: a damn you know how to page that has a
Speaker 1: damn legend for you, And I'll do my research. But
Speaker 1: while I do my research, all survivor fans should know
Speaker 1: that we are here and we're not going anywhere. And
Speaker 1: we're going to be watching the show and you and
Speaker 1: also we're coming at you with our hot takes for
Speaker 1: seasons not even just thirteen years old, but twenty years old.
Speaker 1: I will watch Survivor season to Australia and have something
Speaker 1: to say about Misshasselbeck. Okay, and you will hear my
Speaker 1: opinion right now in the moment when I've see fit
Speaker 1: because I couldn't. I didn't have the emotional intelligence at
Speaker 1: age ten, eleven, age twelve to say the way I feel.
Speaker 1: And so now I will watch Survivor Race Wars and
Speaker 1: I will have an opinion. Thank you. And do you
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about your Survivor Quarantine experience.
Speaker 1: I'm doing a Survivor on Instagram. This is true. It's
Speaker 1: it's called Survivor corre Arantine and I can't say anything
Speaker 1: about my gameplay. I just would recommend everyone follow at
Speaker 1: Survivor Underscore Quarantine and root for me. Also, a contestant
Speaker 1: on the show is the one and only Holland, who
Speaker 1: we talked about last week with Laura Laptus, and it's
Speaker 1: almost like the fates brought her into that and so
Speaker 1: you can follow all the happenings I hope you are
Speaker 1: a gay man who wins um this reality competition. I'm
Speaker 1: watching Survivor China right now. I spoiled it for myself,
Speaker 1: But a gay man wins that one, you'd spoiled it
Speaker 1: for yourself and I But that's what I'm still I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna enjoy. We have our guest today speaking of
Speaker 1: a gay man winning speaking of a game, and winning
Speaker 1: a reality and and winning an Olympic medal speaking not honey,
Speaker 1: national champion, well okay, an Olympian and also the stars

Speaker 1: partner on the show. And let me can I say
Speaker 1: something about Dancing with the Stars please, They could never
Speaker 1: do it without their partners, and it's rule culture number
Speaker 1: eleven on dancing. They can never do it about their partners.
Speaker 1: And this is a reality show competition show that has
Speaker 1: still the test of time as well, do the test
Speaker 1: of time as well. You don't get that many of
Speaker 1: them in the culture, you really don't. But this is

Speaker 1: and it's actually a runner for title of EPP. I
Speaker 1: find that it's stomping to the front of the back.

Speaker 1: just quicky girls. I think it's just to fully quote
Speaker 1: the send and that's we are all of us Quimby girls.
Speaker 1: We are all of us. We are comma, all of
Speaker 1: Quimby girls. And the thing is um this. I want.
Speaker 1: I want this individual to stomp the floor the way

Speaker 1: everything that's going on, and spill all the tea about
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I have lots of questions about the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Bow and Yang. We've never had an Olympic athlete. Not
Speaker 1: I've never had an Olympic athlete on this podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited. So we have to get our other sister,
Speaker 1: Gusts on here one of these days. But he didn't
Speaker 1: get here first. That's he didn't get here first. I
Speaker 1: mean we our guest is breaking new ground for this podcast,
Speaker 1: which is so important. Now everyone please welcome into your ears. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys, I have to tell you, it's like my
Speaker 1: dream to be here and what honestly what First of all,

Speaker 1: a star. She she is a star. She absolutely is
Speaker 1: a star. Do you keep in tid? Oh? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talk all the time. Actually to go from someone used
Speaker 1: to touch all the time and now you you you
Speaker 1: gotta figure out your other ways to touch. I know
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, it's a journey. Um. I will
Speaker 1: say I'm a little brush burned at the moment, but
Speaker 1: I will um survive. I think, what do you know?
Speaker 1: What do you mean brush burn? This is I mean
Speaker 1: just it's just you know, I think at first, when
Speaker 1: you feel like there's not much like for you to do.
Speaker 1: I found myself on porn hub dot com. See brush
Speaker 1: burn brush brush brush not not bloody. So I'm fine, no,
Speaker 1: that you haven't broken the skin as of yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think when you break skin, that's when you
Speaker 1: have to. I think famously take a sabbatic, all guys.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm noticing something in my in my meat beating habit.
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta beat a little hard
Speaker 1: stronger these days. I don't know if it's I'm getting yes, yes, completely,
Speaker 1: I need actually like a false Ringling Brother circus actoing
Speaker 1: on behind, because now nothing's doing it for me anymore, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a few weeks ago. I had done
Speaker 1: it so much that the bottom like had a solid consistency.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about my penis here. The bottom of my
Speaker 1: penis like a consistency, and then the red like like
Speaker 1: it was quote unquote erect, right, And so I found
Speaker 1: that the bottom half of it would stay erect, and
Speaker 1: then the top half of it was like the buck
Speaker 1: stops here, and it sort of broke over in the middle.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, you're tired, aren't you. You're
Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive you can isolate. I mean, let me
Speaker 1: tell you, I don't know if I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's impressive or if it's concerning that you're to each other.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is my I broke my dick jacking
Speaker 1: off in quarantine, and I reach out to all the
Speaker 1: readers and all the girls out there might be listening
Speaker 1: to this and say, if you have a broken dick
Speaker 1: from jacking off too much, I understand you. I see you.
Speaker 1: Matt is really out here repping the hive of people
Speaker 1: who have Titanic decks who just like split much us
Speaker 1: up in your like Reddit thread, which also I don't
Speaker 1: know how to use Reddit, because I was listening to
Speaker 1: and I was like, I also don't know how to
Speaker 1: use Reddit. It's because I would imagine that they discuss
Speaker 1: you quite a bit. Well, I don't know, because I
Speaker 1: don't know how to. I don't know. I honestly I've
Speaker 1: never been on it because it's too intimidating. There's not
Speaker 1: enough pictures. I agree, I thank you, it's too verbal verbal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can in a stock image? Throw in a fucking getty?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Can we throw in a getty? It's actually
Speaker 1: ruler culture number twenty? Can we throw on a getty?
Speaker 1: Can we throw one in? Um? Wait listen, We're thrilled
Speaker 1: that you were here. I mean that makes three of us.
Speaker 1: Were so excited. We're so excited. Adam, okay, I you're
Speaker 1: not the first, Can I Can I say something? We're
Speaker 1: not the first Olympian I've talked to in the last week.
Speaker 1: I would say, because I ended up somehow in a
Speaker 1: zoom game night with UM, a bunch of beautiful Asian
Speaker 1: people among them Alexibutani and Apollo. Oh no, they were
Speaker 1: talking among between themselves. I was just like a fly
Speaker 1: on the wall listening to me. We were all on
Speaker 1: the same zoom. But they were talking about they think
Speaker 1: that the McDonald's in every Olympic village is like a
Speaker 1: sabotage plot from the Americans too overfeed the other countries
Speaker 1: Olympians so that they sucked them. They sucked their bodies
Speaker 1: up by the time their events come up. I mean
Speaker 1: talking about Survivor race Wars. Wow, bring it to the forefront.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, Like, you know, the McDonald's is
Speaker 1: notoriously like in the Olympic village, like in the cafeteria
Speaker 1: use my my hands to show you please please podcast
Speaker 1: absolutely and um it's a dance, uh yeah really yeah. So,
Speaker 1: um when you're there, you're like, they haven't. McDonald's tucked
Speaker 1: in the corner, and like usually the only people who
Speaker 1: go there, they've either like they've either finished competing, they're celebrating,
Speaker 1: or are feeling sorry for themselves. And um, so like
Speaker 1: I didn't really see anybody over there at first, except
Speaker 1: I saw the curlers. They were over there and I
Speaker 1: and you know, I would run into them and they
Speaker 1: were super nice, and I kept thinking every time I
Speaker 1: saw them over it by the McDonald's, I walked away
Speaker 1: every single time, was like, it's such a shame that
Speaker 1: they're not doing well. You know, it's such a shame.
Speaker 1: They're such good people. It's such a shame. They're so kind.
Speaker 1: Curlers are so they have such a good nature. They
Speaker 1: honestly they're good. But that's that's good people. Curling breeds
Speaker 1: a really good person. And so, you know, one day
Speaker 1: I wake up and it's like the American curling team
Speaker 1: has won the Olympics for the first time in so
Speaker 1: many years, and I'm like, you know what that does?
Speaker 1: Check out? That does check out? Um, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I mean I didn't have it until the very end,
Speaker 1: until which I gorged myself like I was training for
Speaker 1: a Nathan's hot dog eating context. Is it a really
Speaker 1: large McDonald's? Is it very tiny? Oh? It's intimate, romantic.
Speaker 1: I would even go as far it crosses over into
Speaker 1: a restaurant, truly, Yes, intimate restaurant. Okay, Now this is such,
Speaker 1: This is such interesting contours of experience, and for all
Speaker 1: Olympians who don't don't really openly talk about it. So
Speaker 1: I just I just wanted you anything you want to know.
Speaker 1: I'm literally all. I love that the Olympics are a thing.
Speaker 1: I celebrate them. I watched them. But what I really
Speaker 1: want to know is about what goes down in the
Speaker 1: Olympic village. Okay, I'll tell you because I I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, I was the thinnest I ever was in
Speaker 1: my life. I was ready to go snatch. I was snatched.
Speaker 1: I was going into the tanning salons. I had this
Speaker 1: skin color I deserved. But didn't you were ready for
Speaker 1: the world stage? That I was. Absolutely. I got my
Speaker 1: eyebrows and eyelashes tinted. I was ready for the spotlight.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? I was ready for prime time? Yes?
Speaker 1: And um, one of my pens I have a statement
Speaker 1: on that absolutely, and I was like, and now take
Speaker 1: my picture. So I was absolutely ready for anything when
Speaker 1: I shut up there and I was like, I've heard
Speaker 1: it's just uh fuck fast, yeah, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for what this is. Obviously, I'm going
Speaker 1: to stay focused on my trade. Um, because I'm a worker.
Speaker 1: If anything, I have the job, I will finish my job.
Speaker 1: So I I walk in and, um, you know this
Speaker 1: is I'm just walking in with my bags, bright eyed,
Speaker 1: bushey tail, and I, you know, the stories are that,
Speaker 1: like they have baskets of condoms everywhere. So I, first
Speaker 1: of all, the Olympic Village is basically it's some sort
Speaker 1: of living situation that the city can then take over
Speaker 1: so that like the cities are left with something and
Speaker 1: not basically like a waste land. So our Olympic Village
Speaker 1: was these high rise condo buildings. So I lived in
Speaker 1: three bedroom condo with five people. So I shared a
Speaker 1: room with someone. We had one teammate that had his
Speaker 1: own room, and then uh I we had roommates on
Speaker 1: the other side. Everything is covered in plastic. There's no refrigerator,
Speaker 1: there's no sync. The only thing that's like installed as
Speaker 1: a toilet. So it's very bare bones. It's it's oh,
Speaker 1: it's low b it's LB. Are you kidding? Yeah, there
Speaker 1: were Their funds were not put into this. So you're
Speaker 1: saying that this, this kind of this shattered your illusion
Speaker 1: of like being this like beautiful sex resort, or I
Speaker 1: would say broke, not shattered, because it's still on obviously
Speaker 1: a path of finding where are the condoms? Even if
Speaker 1: at this point, because you know, it's so funny because
Speaker 1: I went to the Olympics at um my. I had
Speaker 1: teammates that were like seventeen and eighteen, and I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: you know what if I was like that age and
Speaker 1: super horny, obviously you'll just you know, you're fucking to stare. Well,
Speaker 1: you'll tell yeah, absolutely, But like when you're twenty eight,
Speaker 1: you're like, I kind of don't want to like have
Speaker 1: everyone in the living room or like you know, et
Speaker 1: the McDonald's. And then like it's in your body in
Speaker 1: a different way than it was when it hits different different,
Speaker 1: it's different, you know, yeah, you know every word the
Speaker 1: prelude to the main orchestra and so the why yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you um And so then I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't find the condoms anywhere. So one thing that
Speaker 1: happens when you're at the Olympics is you can get
Speaker 1: randomly drug tested at any time. And um I have
Speaker 1: famously been drug tested a million times, like when you know,
Speaker 1: randomly when you're at home too, they'll just show up.
Speaker 1: They'll call you, they'll be like, we're outside, we need
Speaker 1: a sample right now, which is you have to pee
Speaker 1: in front of them. I've had situation where I will
Speaker 1: share on this podcast with you where I please to
Speaker 1: take a ship and there was you know how sometimes
Speaker 1: I don't know I have the power of you know
Speaker 1: how you have the power to have an erectic up
Speaker 1: to the middle and then your body said, no, that
Speaker 1: was just I have to just let me just clarify
Speaker 1: for all the readers. It was just this this in
Speaker 1: this quarantine. Okay. Usually it's usually it stands up like
Speaker 1: the fucking money, and I do mean it's pointed at
Speaker 1: the end, sharpened like a damn pencil these days continue
Speaker 1: you got a contour. So then, um so I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: like I need to think of an escape route. Well,
Speaker 1: so like the guy who comes in, he had come
Speaker 1: to my house so many times that I knew his
Speaker 1: name already, and so we have to The protocol is
Speaker 1: you have to show nipple to knee so that they
Speaker 1: know that you're not like faking it or like you
Speaker 1: can't go into the bathroom and come out because like
Speaker 1: people will in theory, you could have a fake sample
Speaker 1: like waiting to go, so you need to they just
Speaker 1: look they're not so they have to see your body
Speaker 1: visual confirmation. And absolutely, like I said, I was, I
Speaker 1: was rail thin. I didn't mind. And what's this guy?
Speaker 1: What's this guy's do? What was he all about? He's
Speaker 1: just like he just works like the US Anti Doping Agency,
Speaker 1: So I just you know, it would sometimes he would
Speaker 1: come over. I'd have to like have a cup of
Speaker 1: coffee and like ten glasses of water. We talked for
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I pee in front of him
Speaker 1: and leave. I mean basically sounds like any date I've
Speaker 1: ever been. I smell yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's Hallmark,
Speaker 1: hall Mark. Yeah. Um. So he comes over and I'm
Speaker 1: realizing I have to take a ship. Um. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: obviously I can prairie dog it suck a back in
Speaker 1: and I'll just deal with it later. But I'm realizing
Speaker 1: that this is a diarrhea, and I there's nothing I
Speaker 1: can do that feeling when you're peeing, and it's not
Speaker 1: like you can do just one it's a feeling when
Speaker 1: you're peeing, but you realize it's from the back, right,
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, I was like, I wonder if
Speaker 1: I can convince my body to like move the fluids
Speaker 1: that I know are going to come from the back
Speaker 1: and just visually, because you know, they say as an
Speaker 1: Olympic athlete that visualization is important. It's a very important
Speaker 1: part of being an athlete. That I was trying to
Speaker 1: visualize just the all the liquid is moving to the
Speaker 1: front and maybe see if I could channel it. And
Speaker 1: I spent maybe a good probably a wasted ten minutes
Speaker 1: feeling that out for myself, realizing unfortunately it wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So I looked at um, this is the last drug
Speaker 1: test I ever had, And I looked at his name
Speaker 1: was Amelio. I said, Amelio, I am so sorry that
Speaker 1: I know this. You know, I'm retiring. This is the
Speaker 1: last time you're going to come to my house and
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to take a shift at you
Speaker 1: and look like a sad dog. So my sat on
Speaker 1: the toilet and had to take a diarrhea in front
Speaker 1: of my drug tester. And you have to do it
Speaker 1: in front of him. You could have told him to
Speaker 1: leave the room. You can't have to watch his body
Speaker 1: produce the urine bowing. So the thing is is that
Speaker 1: like if he left, I'd have to just do another
Speaker 1: sample later, which like when you haven't you know, are
Speaker 1: you kidding? I was on the schedule, Yeah, you were
Speaker 1: on some schedule. Yeah, at the time. The girl was
Speaker 1: right there. They're everywhere. So but Olympics, they don't ask
Speaker 1: for urine. They asked for blood. Kinky um, so they
Speaker 1: asked for blood. So then they pick you up and
Speaker 1: you have to go to like the medical room. So
Speaker 1: when I went to the medical room, and now it
Speaker 1: all comes together is where I finally found the condoms
Speaker 1: and they were not anything like what I had wanted.
Speaker 1: I thought they'd have the rings printed on them. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be and what was it? Just some
Speaker 1: like blue plastic nothing. It was a purple thing that
Speaker 1: said in Korean generic condom. No. Yes, And the Olympians
Speaker 1: you can't even make them. You can't even fluff the
Speaker 1: people up. These are Olympians about to have sex make
Speaker 1: them feel like kings and queen terrible. Some walgreen reject that,
Speaker 1: but did you get did you get any dick in
Speaker 1: the Olympic village? No? I don't know, and that's also
Speaker 1: not well. I'm sorry? Are we Are we being coin now? After?
Speaker 1: There aren't? Obviously I was giving blood and urine. I
Speaker 1: was giving it out like it was a fucking party.
Speaker 1: You were ready to go? I was ready. I was
Speaker 1: what do you want from me? Any? It's so crazy,
Speaker 1: like those have to be the hottest men in the world.
Speaker 1: I think the summer games are where it's truly at
Speaker 1: because it's basically their outfits are like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: your shirtless or you're outside, or you're you're sweating, you know.
Speaker 1: The winter sports are more about covering up, except for
Speaker 1: like figure skating you have to just look like a
Speaker 1: cold whore. But like everything and everything else is just
Speaker 1: bundle I do have to say, as someone who grew
Speaker 1: up in Colorado and like grew up around ski culture,
Speaker 1: there's something very the fact that you are bundled up
Speaker 1: is potentially a turn onto some myself included, where it's
Speaker 1: like it's the mystery, it's the mystery, and like you're
Speaker 1: in the lodge and you see people taking off the
Speaker 1: helmets and the jackets and you're like, okay, there's something
Speaker 1: going on there, and it's four play and also not
Speaker 1: for nothing but the performance and the costumer e and
Speaker 1: the tightness of the customer. And you actually said three
Speaker 1: words before which will always give me like a memory bonner,
Speaker 1: which were the words Apollo anton Oh No, he was
Speaker 1: a huge sexual awakening for me. Hue. I don't think
Speaker 1: I knew my penis could feel that way before I
Speaker 1: saw him on the Olympics and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's why, that's what it is, why my penis is
Speaker 1: top to banam act. Oh, there were no it was.
Speaker 1: It was a northbound train. There was no if fans
Speaker 1: or butts. There was no question. This thing was hard
Speaker 1: to follow. Anton Oh no was he was also an
Speaker 1: awakening for me? I mean, what was his first games?
Speaker 1: What was Salt Lake City? Yeah, well we're all basically
Speaker 1: the same age, well like thirty yeah, yeah, so that
Speaker 1: that so I check out, our penises were all um
Speaker 1: sort of the same clock now, okay, and and please
Speaker 1: let please let us know if this is if this
Speaker 1: is too prying but could part of the reason that
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't really have sex in the Olympic village.
Speaker 1: Does it have to do with the fact that we're
Speaker 1: at this age now where it's like there is a
Speaker 1: little bit too much set up, there's too much prelude
Speaker 1: to sex. There's too much like I got it because
Speaker 1: like I don't even know, Like he's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'll say that. You know what it was, It was
Speaker 1: like by the time I was done competing that I
Speaker 1: knew that there was like a lot of fanfare going
Speaker 1: on around me that I also wasn't trying to like
Speaker 1: capitalize on it. Yeah, well, I just know you'd have
Speaker 1: to do like you'd have to either like ask all
Speaker 1: your roommates to leave, and like like there was just
Speaker 1: it was too much juggling it and also enough for nothing.
Speaker 1: But you probably we were one of the most famous people.
Speaker 1: They're like, so there is also the thing of like
Speaker 1: you know, there was like this like sort of America's
Speaker 1: Sweetheart narrative around you, and then it's like what happens
Speaker 1: if they find out what America's Sweetheart actually do. It's
Speaker 1: something we have to It's something that hippy girls have
Speaker 1: to think about. We Quimby Girls are in the Quimby
Speaker 1: girls demographic. We are we are actually I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: say it, but Hose and I sometimes feel if some
Speaker 1: of these little girls buying McDonald's toys found out about
Speaker 1: the Hose, you know, they buy into it. I think,
Speaker 1: I think that in the back of their mind they
Speaker 1: have Apollo anton On no moment. But you couldn't have
Speaker 1: told me that wasn't the hottest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, I never even I thought. At first, I
Speaker 1: was like, that's weird, and then I kept I couldn't
Speaker 1: stop looking. He's so handsome, so hot. And also the
Speaker 1: ass was mag magnificent. Yah has a lovely wife. Species
Speaker 1: that was it was its own thing. It was competing
Speaker 1: in another event. Looks has a lovely wife, looks looks
Speaker 1: I think looks better than ever. I agree, and thank
Speaker 1: you for saying that. Bowen, I completely agree. Thank you. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Wait, I have to say, as Quimby girls,
Speaker 1: we have a squeaky clean image to hold by virtue
Speaker 1: of us completely you know, yes, okay, would be the
Speaker 1: likely you know, obviously known as the Christian platform, the
Speaker 1: Christian platform. Yeah, all our shows have very Christian undertones,
Speaker 1: like I really really watched Game Show. It's actually about
Speaker 1: God and it's as I felt God in the room
Speaker 1: when I watch it, which I by I by the way,
Speaker 1: I love Game Show. It's fancy. Thank you babe. And
Speaker 1: actually you know, we reached out about you being a
Speaker 1: wise queer, but she was busy, I know, and I
Speaker 1: was really really upset about it. Well, next season, do
Speaker 1: you hear that? Quimby next us him? Is this thing on? Baby?
Speaker 1: Is this thing on? That's visualization? You either turn your
Speaker 1: diary into piss or you will as season two of
Speaker 1: Game Show. Let me tell you something one is definitely
Speaker 1: going to happen. We hope to happens. I mean I
Speaker 1: can tell you from experience it didn't, but I I see,
Speaker 1: I see good things for you. We hope. So um. Alright,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna take a very short break and when
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna come back with Adam Rponam.
Speaker 1: We're going to ask him the question that we always
Speaker 1: ask on this show. Bow and that will be really exciting, exciting,
Speaker 1: will be right back. Okay, we're back with Adam. Adam,
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you the question we ask all of
Speaker 1: our guests, um, which is Matt, why don't you ask
Speaker 1: the questions? Well, listen, this question is what was the
Speaker 1: culture that made you say culture was for you? So definitive, defining,
Speaker 1: definitely pop culture that made you say, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: doing something to me and causing me to become who
Speaker 1: I am. You know, I I've thought about how I
Speaker 1: wanted to answer this question. Answer it, yes, And I
Speaker 1: wanted to say, you know, watching Nick at night, watching
Speaker 1: Lucille Ball, obviously, But when I think about it, and
Speaker 1: if I were to be honest with myself, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at myself in the zoom mirror right now, and I
Speaker 1: want to be honest. And I know that if I
Speaker 1: said Lucille Ball that that's no, it's not right. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you when when I knew the culture was
Speaker 1: for me. It was the date Sherry Lewis, the famous
Speaker 1: ventrilla quist, died. Now elaborate Sherry Lewis. Famously she is
Speaker 1: Lamb Chop, Yeah, Lamb Chop, thank you so much. She
Speaker 1: is a Pea Buddy winner, She's a twelve time Emmy
Speaker 1: winning ventrilla quist. I loved Lambchop, but I knew the
Speaker 1: culture was for me the day she died. It was something.
Speaker 1: It was like August and she died, and I gathered
Speaker 1: all of my Lamb Chop memorybilia and I created a
Speaker 1: shrine in my room and I cried, oh babe, so wait,
Speaker 1: can we because you have it, you seem to have
Speaker 1: a vocabulary about Lamb Chop and Ms Sherry as well. Bowen, Well, no,
Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me. I don't know this person at
Speaker 1: all in Canada. You don't know Lamb Chop. No, Lamb Chop.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you I need I need an
Speaker 1: education from my sisters because because Sherry Lewis was part
Speaker 1: of getting me Rinky Dinky Dink getting rinky Do I
Speaker 1: love you? I love you? Yes? Well, of course I
Speaker 1: know that those are the lyrics. Of course I know
Speaker 1: about Bob. It was it was truly like, that's that
Speaker 1: my my little childhood pantheon was like, this is the
Speaker 1: song that never ends? Are you yes to? Number one? Two?
Speaker 1: Number one, multi multi platinum. It's like, if we have
Speaker 1: to look, actually look at the charts, I'd be like, yep.
Speaker 1: It took the boy a sign off the child of
Speaker 1: the charts. In September two one, the song that never ends,
Speaker 1: never ends. I loved she and I remember to Snoopy,
Speaker 1: my sister had like a lamb chop like toiletree case
Speaker 1: or something like little um. You know, she knew like
Speaker 1: lamb chop like was on the same level as like
Speaker 1: Sesame Street and like even like just in terms of
Speaker 1: like the Muppets, like puppeteering and stuff, right, like it
Speaker 1: was just like it wasn't the Puppets. It was the performance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I always loved it, and she was always like
Speaker 1: she was just her one woman show, moving both her hands.
Speaker 1: All she she all she needed was a camera and
Speaker 1: a sock, and that woman could win an Emmy. And
Speaker 1: that's what it was for me. And it was okay
Speaker 1: wait yep, I know. And she's stunning. Yeah, she was
Speaker 1: giving you mainstream Reba. Look, she was giving you that
Speaker 1: red hair mama. And the young girls that were on
Speaker 1: her hand, we're often little lambs. Now, what was it
Speaker 1: about the death that like opened up? Was it that
Speaker 1: you were in such grief that you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I care so much about this person. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: the thing about the death was that, like you know,
Speaker 1: everything was like I think the one thing why why
Speaker 1: Lucille Ball, why she couldn't be it for me, which
Speaker 1: is I'm sure true regretting her own life would be
Speaker 1: here now because it really was Lucy Cherie. She's just
Speaker 1: she's going back and forth right now, and I can
Speaker 1: hear her. I can hear I can see her looking
Speaker 1: at me right now. Rolling. We can hear you, Lucy,
Speaker 1: we can Lucille. We know, I know and she uh.
Speaker 1: The thing that did it was that I knew she
Speaker 1: was already dead, so I just I couldn't form a
Speaker 1: connection with her, um even though that she she truly
Speaker 1: like wanted I wanted to perform when I saw like
Speaker 1: Lucille Ball because like people were clapping and laughing, but
Speaker 1: it was Sherry Lewis that like I always felt like,
Speaker 1: oh I maybe I could meet her or something. And
Speaker 1: then when she died, I just felt this sadness which
Speaker 1: made me realize that I actually like loved her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is here, can I posit something? It's like this
Speaker 1: kind of happened to me with this like um Chinese
Speaker 1: singer and like the first like like my first like
Speaker 1: moment of standing I can remember as a chop. But
Speaker 1: then this also happened again and let me know if
Speaker 1: I'm onto something. When Princess Die passed away, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was so much concentrated directed like love for one
Speaker 1: person that you realize as a kid that imprints on
Speaker 1: You're like, oh my god, I I love this woman.
Speaker 1: I w an iconic female woman like for for a
Speaker 1: little cis gay boys like that like that is like
Speaker 1: a moment for us, right, We're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is how like someone is worshiped in Sherry Lewis
Speaker 1: the original princess. Thank you. Actually it's a real culture
Speaker 1: and number thirty three Sherry Lewis as the original Princess.
Speaker 1: I also think with the thing that Princess Diane, maybe
Speaker 1: this is something to do with it too, with um
Speaker 1: famously a mother and a young like mother and knowing
Speaker 1: that she was leaving behind children. And I also do
Speaker 1: think that there is something if you actually observe the
Speaker 1: women that you stand, see if there is some from
Speaker 1: childhood and from like development, See if there's something similar
Speaker 1: to them with your mother's Because I've actually thought about this.
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson is who I stand, and her personality is
Speaker 1: very similar to my mother's, with same kind of like
Speaker 1: I'm laughing and we're having a good time, But isn't
Speaker 1: this great? And like I'm like, I don't you know
Speaker 1: whatever like that kind of whole thing of like, come on,
Speaker 1: I'm coming to my house, take your shoes off, that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, like what she's doing with her talk
Speaker 1: show right now. I knew she was capable of when
Speaker 1: she was years old on American Idol. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's a mom and I was like, I connect, no,
Speaker 1: in the best way, in the best way. I I
Speaker 1: completely agree with you because my mom has this everything
Speaker 1: is right and there's just one knob that's slightly off
Speaker 1: that you're like, she is she's a little cookie. She's cookie.
Speaker 1: That's Sherry le Lewis, famously cookie and um and you
Speaker 1: know that's like also like all of the people that
Speaker 1: I like, really enjoy, they're super funny, they're very like
Speaker 1: vivacious and they're just a little cookie. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: that cooke button absolutely and pushed. And it's when it's pushed.
Speaker 1: I want to say that my mom very like, very
Speaker 1: like selfless. And I gotta say that's Princess Die for you.
Speaker 1: My mom is Princess Die. Your mom actually is Princess Diana,
Speaker 1: Diana of Wales. Well you know actually famously Princess Dianna.
Speaker 1: You know, she'd give to many charities and she found
Speaker 1: many land mines many and oh no, but honestly, like
Speaker 1: gay icon like was like like like was like kind
Speaker 1: of like reaching out to people with AIDS when like
Speaker 1: when only are the people who didn't it like Madonna,
Speaker 1: I don't know that's probably not actually accurate, but no,
Speaker 1: I mean she was she was like an AIDS icon
Speaker 1: like like she really like did work. You know, I
Speaker 1: thought she was kind of done dirty by drag Race
Speaker 1: when not not in the way that Katia did her
Speaker 1: at all. Like I thought Katia was incredible, but like
Speaker 1: I don't think they gave didn't give her moment like
Speaker 1: where was the big wedding dress? Like she was wearing
Speaker 1: a wedding dress, but where was the iconic train? Where was?
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like there were so many more funny
Speaker 1: jokes to make about Princess Diana. I thought that Katia
Speaker 1: was done dirty by the atmosphere of that performance. Sure, sure,
Speaker 1: I mean you can't pick and I mean not all
Speaker 1: rusical parts are created equal as we know, yes they are.
Speaker 1: And also we have a RuPaul's guest guest. We have
Speaker 1: a RuPaul's Drag Race guest judge, and not only guest judge,
Speaker 1: but also helped with the Corio, helped with I really didn't.
Speaker 1: They said they asked me to help with the Corea,
Speaker 1: but it was I was with Travis. Motherfucker. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: remember watching it and I was like, I think Travis
Speaker 1: might be doing most of this, yeah, And I was
Speaker 1: just kind of there and I'm just sort of like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, yeah, Travis. She took the words
Speaker 1: right out of my mouth exactly. My favorite thing is
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, Adam, can you like repeat the Korea
Speaker 1: with Travis? And I'm like, oh no, and I'm like
Speaker 1: I cannot, I can't. I don't know what he just did.
Speaker 1: And they're like they're like, now, go up to the
Speaker 1: queens and ask them if they're really struggling with it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm really struggling with it. I mean I
Speaker 1: was failing. If I were a queen, I would have
Speaker 1: been voted off. Oh my god, I mean how long
Speaker 1: were you in that? Were you like in the room
Speaker 1: with them, like for for two hours but still an
Speaker 1: hour team because there was like two teams there, but
Speaker 1: Travis was there all night. He's no joke. No he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not joking. No. Is he a friend of yours?
Speaker 1: He is. Yeah, And he's brilliant. I mean he's just
Speaker 1: he's brilliant. Like I met him a few years ago
Speaker 1: and he's just I mean, he's so, he's so, he's
Speaker 1: so smart. He is like what he puts out is genius.
Speaker 1: But it's funny, like when you go into like a
Speaker 1: situation like that, you really have to like you have
Speaker 1: to make it look like you're not making something for
Speaker 1: the least common denominator, and you have to make everybody
Speaker 1: look like a fucking star or they will look like
Speaker 1: a disaster and you'll look like a mess. Like it'll
Speaker 1: it'll just look like your stuff isn't getting put out
Speaker 1: there correctly. Sure, sure, sure, I have to say. It's
Speaker 1: also one of the reasons why I to this that
Speaker 1: not only do I respect Toddrick's um music and how
Speaker 1: the Bitch always puts together a musical movie video with
Speaker 1: a strong theme, but also his drag race sort of
Speaker 1: moments that he creates are always the best. They're always
Speaker 1: so great. Chadwick is amazing. He is amazing, well because
Speaker 1: he's drag you know, he's he is dragged. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Yeah, now he is now Adam,
Speaker 1: would you would you put Sherry's death? Don't to go
Speaker 1: back to this, but okay, was okay, Well, this is
Speaker 1: my graceless pivot into talking about your Quimby show. This
Speaker 1: is this dan useless celebrity hits. And this is how
Speaker 1: I always saw it, you know, and this is coming
Speaker 1: from a death August. I will say you were right
Speaker 1: about the date you said, August nine, and she did
Speaker 1: die on August second. I mean I remember I remember
Speaker 1: coming in like on the news and my mom being
Speaker 1: like Sherry Lewis has said, and she's like making Hamburger
Speaker 1: helper in the background. I'm like, you're gonna be so
Speaker 1: so she was family, Kelly. She was family to us.
Speaker 1: Dare you? How dare? And that's when I collected all
Speaker 1: of my things. I think lamb Chop was also. I
Speaker 1: I will get to my Quimby show, I promise you.
Speaker 1: But when I was five, I um became ill. I
Speaker 1: had my appendix taken out, and I remember, like, lamb
Speaker 1: Chop is in my mind because I threw up on
Speaker 1: my Lamb Chop pillow. They eventually was one of the
Speaker 1: only things they let me take into the operating room.
Speaker 1: So lamp like, that's it's trauma. It's trauma. Trauma. It
Speaker 1: never leaves you well. Beauty grows from trauma. And I
Speaker 1: think that's why, truly, Sherry Lewis is when I knew
Speaker 1: the culture was for me, that's beaut Okay, So you
Speaker 1: can really like pinpoint it to that and explain why,
Speaker 1: like that's that's huge, good for you. And also, puppet
Speaker 1: culture is comedy culture because I'll say this, like Sesame
Speaker 1: Street did what it needed to do and it continues
Speaker 1: to do what it needs to do, and the Muppets
Speaker 1: did what they needed to do, and that was that
Speaker 1: was some of the best sketch comedy. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: that you could get Muppets show tonight. I'm snapping. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't give that. They didn't give the ABC show
Speaker 1: a shot, a fair shot, the one that was out
Speaker 1: like a few years ago. Everything Muppets that comes out now,
Speaker 1: I feel like no one takes seriously, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you got us have to take this seriously. It's like
Speaker 1: this is the Muppets are. Muppets are for all time,
Speaker 1: but some some sometimes they try stuff out and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see how this. Guys. Remember when they unveiled a
Speaker 1: potential new love interest for Kermi, which was that pig
Speaker 1: with a more like with a wider face and wide,
Speaker 1: wider set eyes and like kind of more like borish
Speaker 1: said no, she like more of like aish No, like
Speaker 1: more of a seductress pig more so than Miss Piggy.
Speaker 1: And you're like, this is going to be an iconic
Speaker 1: muppet And then they never really gave this muppet a shot,
Speaker 1: this new pig well, because I actually have to say,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea, because what you don't
Speaker 1: do is what you you don't funk with Miss Piggy
Speaker 1: because then because then I'll tell you what happens, Miss
Speaker 1: Piggy will start with her diva antics and you know
Speaker 1: that Miss Piggy is the number one diva And the
Speaker 1: next thing that might happen and you really don't want
Speaker 1: this to go down is you don't want Miss Piggy
Speaker 1: to say because she iconically says hi and by the way,
Speaker 1: a that is funny every time, and be I mean,
Speaker 1: she's gonna hit you. You know what, you know what
Speaker 1: the best part of you she's gonna she's gonna hit you.
Speaker 1: She's gonna hit you. The best part of Meppet Christmas
Speaker 1: Carol is when Scrooge Christmas Morning at the end goes
Speaker 1: to um Marley's house and then Ms Piggy is trying
Speaker 1: to tell off Scrooge and yes and leave it, and
Speaker 1: and then when Miss Peggy said that you leave. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: she is too good. Mr. You know that the best
Speaker 1: Christmas album of all time is The Muppets sing with
Speaker 1: John Denver. Oh pretty, I don't, I don't, I'm not familiar,
Speaker 1: don't know what I have the compact disc I could
Speaker 1: send you. John Denver was also culture and also talk
Speaker 1: about another tragic death not I know, so, I I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry that. I mean, it was truly it was
Speaker 1: truly me that said so, I'm got so much of that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't even know he was sick. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: he died in a plane crash and it wasn't that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the nine years ago, let me look this up
Speaker 1: in the nineties are in the eighties ended up me
Speaker 1: being looking up celebrity deaths. And I gotta say, it's
Speaker 1: always good to have knowledge, all right. So John Denver
Speaker 1: on October twelfth, and it was his plane crashed in
Speaker 1: Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California. Yeah, so there it
Speaker 1: was a failure to refuel and then a subsequent loss
Speaker 1: of control. And that's that's just I gotta say, No
Speaker 1: celebrities should be getting in small planes and getting going
Speaker 1: up there. I don't think it ends well, you couldn't
Speaker 1: pay me to get in one of those small planes. Unfortunately, yeah, unfortunately. Now.
Speaker 1: I mean even even Harrison Ford almost had a close call.
Speaker 1: It's too scary. I mean, even when you're flying in
Speaker 1: a huge plane and you feel like it's I know
Speaker 1: that I hate turbulence. Not I'm like a drunk flyer.
Speaker 1: I I always need a drink, yes, yes, yes, well
Speaker 1: I actually like it's it's kind of crazy, but it's
Speaker 1: the only time I drink. I p A s because
Speaker 1: they make me so tired, because they're so heavy and
Speaker 1: they're so hoppy, I really will pass out, like and
Speaker 1: I don't thank God for my early twenties when I
Speaker 1: thought when I was trying to be on Tinder and
Speaker 1: be like I like I p A s because I
Speaker 1: saw like other like gays putting them on their dating
Speaker 1: profiles and so I was always going out with guys
Speaker 1: and drinking I p s and like getting drunk with them.
Speaker 1: It was real. It really was my brand at the time,
Speaker 1: like Tinder gay, trying to be a little bit like Masky.
Speaker 1: I had a bite friend that was like drunk I
Speaker 1: p s and was was that way to attracted you
Speaker 1: to him? Was that one of the things that attracted him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a quality actually looked for. Wow, a personality trade. Um,
Speaker 1: do you have I P A s? Um, do you
Speaker 1: drink I p s? What are do you have a boyfriend? Now?
Speaker 1: I do? Yeah? And is this serious? It is serious.
Speaker 1: We've been together for like two and a half years.
Speaker 1: So here during the Olympics. We were talking during the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Another reason why I like we so okay. So I
Speaker 1: was at a competition in Finland earlier um in well
Speaker 1: like later in seen. So in October of seventeen, I
Speaker 1: was on Tinder obviously, as you can tell, focused um,
Speaker 1: focus on the quote unquote trade when you said work,
Speaker 1: when you said before that you were focused on your trade.
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder if he means trade or
Speaker 1: trade as a Yeah, I meanted in like the Royal
Speaker 1: trade the Royals. Yeah, um, so I was on Tinder.
Speaker 1: We match never met and then I left. Um, then
Speaker 1: I guess a week later, like he was just he
Speaker 1: was just super engaging and really cute and just and
Speaker 1: he's gorgeous. So we were just talking back and forth
Speaker 1: and then we started talking like every day, and so
Speaker 1: we talked and never sent a nude, which I thought
Speaker 1: was a red flag at first, um, because I was
Speaker 1: thinking something's got to be uh something. Um. But we
Speaker 1: talked back and forth and would send each other like
Speaker 1: long like video messages because we never like sync up
Speaker 1: are like time change. But I was like, I'm never
Speaker 1: going to meet him. But I think because of that,
Speaker 1: it was like so open about everything with him. So
Speaker 1: he did that for like seven months before he flew
Speaker 1: to l A and we met. And then that was
Speaker 1: like two and a half years ago, so he was
Speaker 1: he was living in Finland before that. He still is
Speaker 1: so late. He's quarantined like in Europe. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: I don't know when he'll be able to come back.
Speaker 1: Which that's that's that's rough. I'm sorry that's happening, are
Speaker 1: you now? I have to get over the death of
Speaker 1: John Denver. So I obviously distract. That's that's really what
Speaker 1: I was doing, is I was going to throw you
Speaker 1: another trauma to kind of throw you off the scent. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm just sort of like, okay, sure are you? Are
Speaker 1: you here in Los Angeles during the core? I am
Speaker 1: in New York famously, Yeah, famously it was a gorgeously
Speaker 1: gorgeous day here today. Um And and then it just
Speaker 1: like disarms your It just just disarms you because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is this is kind of manageable
Speaker 1: for a little longer, but like it's not. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: I go my my mood um changes violently. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: sometimes the higher than I've ever been and then lower
Speaker 1: than I ever thought I would go. I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: it's so wild with this does to your mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend found me weeping in the next room. He's like,
Speaker 1: what's you like dropped everything and come to me, because
Speaker 1: like every eight days I have like the worst day
Speaker 1: of my life. And then like and then I really
Speaker 1: convinced myself I'm fine for like the seven days leading
Speaker 1: up and so like I'm just trying to like fill
Speaker 1: my what is the bullshit you're filling your time with
Speaker 1: right now. Um. So I had never seen how to
Speaker 1: get Away with Murder? So I watched all of that
Speaker 1: great camp What that's a revelation. First of all, this
Speaker 1: isn't I mean, this could have been my like my rant,
Speaker 1: but I won't be I'll think of something else. Shonda Rhymes.
Speaker 1: Stop making characters that I fall in love with for
Speaker 1: three seasons and then realized that they're the problem. Yeah, oh, Viola.
Speaker 1: First of all, I have a big problem, Viola Davis,
Speaker 1: all of this drama happening in Philadelphia, go to a
Speaker 1: real city. As someone who lived in the Philadelphia suburbs
Speaker 1: and famously took great hound busses to and from Scranton
Speaker 1: to Philly. That ship was not going on. Viola Davis,
Speaker 1: analyze Keating get it together. They truly get it together.
Speaker 1: Miss Annalye also not for nothing, but she was someone
Speaker 1: that we should be looking up to. She famously said,
Speaker 1: why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? And
Speaker 1: that is an iconic line which does not get the credit.
Speaker 1: And it's going to be a rule of culture number
Speaker 1: forty six, why penis girls does not get there? And
Speaker 1: that's that's a rule of culture. And also just the
Speaker 1: way that her character is introduced when she's writing in Shock,
Speaker 1: the name of her class, how to get Away with
Speaker 1: Hills running down my neck startling. It is see Viola
Speaker 1: Davis carry Washington Obviously, like any real American, I would
Speaker 1: take a bullet for either of them. And there's a
Speaker 1: moment in how to get Away with Murder where like
Speaker 1: Carrie Washington is in a scene I actually, I think
Speaker 1: because it's in Quarantine, I I felt tears welling because
Speaker 1: I was like, and I remember thinking I also had
Speaker 1: been drinking like the whole day. It's probably it was
Speaker 1: probably like two thirty in the afternoon. I've been drinking,
Speaker 1: you know, drinking all day. Um, And I remember thinking,
Speaker 1: how lucky am I? But we get this crossover like
Speaker 1: the talent in one Room, and I just kept thinking
Speaker 1: all of these things that going through my mind. I
Speaker 1: was like Anally's keating is she's acting like the protege
Speaker 1: of of Carrie Washington right now in the juxtaposition of that,
Speaker 1: and then like you have that moment outside my body
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you need water, Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: need to Actually you need a glass of sucking. You
Speaker 1: need to drink water because you don't know these fake women. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Olivia Pope was big for me too. I loved her
Speaker 1: boldness and dressing in all white all the time and
Speaker 1: drinking her red wine. Huge comically huge glasses that didn't
Speaker 1: get enough attention. They're very her glasses are very from
Speaker 1: Peer one. Everything in her home starter starter starter glass set,
Speaker 1: starter set. But here's my thing with Shanda. We talked
Speaker 1: about Shanda. We do all the time, not even not
Speaker 1: we're just we just talked about Shanda and she comes up.
Speaker 1: But this is my thing you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1: Like the way Viola Days character gets introduced, she's writing
Speaker 1: the damn title of the show on a chalkboard. It's
Speaker 1: like Shanda did not used to be this. Shanda used
Speaker 1: to write like when Grays first started. Like the thing
Speaker 1: that I loved about Grays was, oh, this is just perfect.
Speaker 1: This is just Ali mcbeel. But surgeons where it's like sexy,
Speaker 1: like little quips like not actually melodrama. And now any
Speaker 1: Shonda Rhyme show, it's like like a meteor's hit the hospital.
Speaker 1: It's like or whatever. It's like so like there too
Speaker 1: quickly and exactly exactly as soon as Denny as soon
Speaker 1: as Denny died and at the end of season two
Speaker 1: of Grays, that's Shawanda like got it into her hat.
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm speaking for her, but it's like
Speaker 1: she got it in her head that this is what
Speaker 1: the people want. They want like these in sane, unbelievable circumstances.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I missed the old Shanda, which
Speaker 1: was like grounded, funny, like charming. I don't know, see,
Speaker 1: I feel like when Shonda would pop off is in
Speaker 1: the dialogue and that's what I love. And the set
Speaker 1: pc nature of the episodes now where it's it's like
Speaker 1: there's a lion loosen. It's like, oh no, like you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I can't believe that that
Speaker 1: we're here, you know. And also what really lost me
Speaker 1: was when they did the shooting episode. But actually the
Speaker 1: shooting episode had a great moment though, where remember when
Speaker 1: the shooter like points the gun to April Kepner and
Speaker 1: April's like, I have two brothers and I have my
Speaker 1: my father is a farmer. But like a great moment
Speaker 1: where she's like she just like starts to like spill
Speaker 1: personal details and then the shooter like I mean, they're
Speaker 1: they're still great moments of TV is what we call
Speaker 1: trauma porn. Yes, irresponsible and bad. But don't you miss
Speaker 1: the episodes of grays In like season two when the
Speaker 1: whole the A story, the A story was Callie didn't
Speaker 1: wash her hands in front of Meredith and Izzy and
Speaker 1: that was the entire story and it was so funny,
Speaker 1: small and like the end of the episode is like
Speaker 1: Regina Spector song and George and Cally are talking to
Speaker 1: each other and Kelly's like, you have just stoomed up
Speaker 1: for me have to tell people I washed my hands,
Speaker 1: like such such good writing. I don't know. I missed
Speaker 1: you a little those those I wasn't a Grays you have.
Speaker 1: You have a lot to catch up off because I
Speaker 1: didn't even watch Survivor either, which now I'm like afraid
Speaker 1: to get I'm afraid to get into it because I
Speaker 1: know I know I will. You actually should fear getting
Speaker 1: into it because because you won't turn back. And but
Speaker 1: it is fucking great. You will love it. And as
Speaker 1: someone who's competed on a reality show, I think you
Speaker 1: will love it. And sure, and I feel like you
Speaker 1: would love the first two seasons of Grades too. I'm
Speaker 1: sure I would love Grays because I do. Like the
Speaker 1: thing is is that really Shonda Rhymes is a genius,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean fully, we're here being like, wait,
Speaker 1: wish Shana would they better? It's like we will. I
Speaker 1: would cut off my half working penis to have an
Speaker 1: ounce of the talent that that is. That is I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, hello, it can leave me. I
Speaker 1: don't need it. I don't need the top half if
Speaker 1: I can have full talent, because a full talent. But
Speaker 1: I think wait, didn't seek treatment to do a thing recently.
Speaker 1: Another podcast that Adam is on um didn't see treatment
Speaker 1: do something recently, where like Shonda Rymes is now Schilling
Speaker 1: is like in these pen commercials. Now, I'm sure she's
Speaker 1: suddenly on camera talent, but she's she's she's in these
Speaker 1: pen commercials being like like the marketing of scripts with
Speaker 1: like I I rely on this brand pen blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and then truly like and assisted No. But here's this
Speaker 1: is the beautiful part. I think. I think this is
Speaker 1: what happens. Some assistant knocks on her door and goes, Shanda,
Speaker 1: they're expecting that pilot by seven, And then she looks
Speaker 1: at her pen and goes, that won't be a problem,
Speaker 1: and then that won't be because I have this pen
Speaker 1: and only this pen. It's as easy as having an
Speaker 1: amazing pilot is as easy as having that pen. And
Speaker 1: you're talking about a woman who already makes hundreds of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. So it's like, what must the check
Speaker 1: have been? Like? Oh, you know, Big Pens has been
Speaker 1: fucking lining their pockets waiting for this moment. Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: your what's your dream endorsement? What's your dream or not? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like what, you must have had some good ones. I've
Speaker 1: had some. I've had some good ones. Um fun. I
Speaker 1: did a commercial for Skittles once, which was very I
Speaker 1: love the skills commercial I really and obviously it came
Speaker 1: with many Skittles um which that was fantastic. I think
Speaker 1: Skittles is probably the most fun I've done, Like Little One,
Speaker 1: I always do think um as a true influencer, I
Speaker 1: would only work with the brand I know and love
Speaker 1: I can stand behind. Well, So I did this one
Speaker 1: thing I did. I did something with Nivia once and
Speaker 1: it was this like I did it with this football
Speaker 1: player Danny Amendola, who I love he always I think
Speaker 1: it's so funny because it's like he's he seems exactly
Speaker 1: like somebody who like wouldn't be friends with me, but
Speaker 1: he comments on all my Instagram posts. We're obsessed. We
Speaker 1: stand Danny am and Dolan and this. Yeah he's the hottest,
Speaker 1: absolutely one. Because you know, you want to say Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is hot, but then you stare at him too
Speaker 1: long and you're like, I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you know, do it. Next time you see him, you go,
Speaker 1: he's really hot, and then you look at him a
Speaker 1: little bit and you're like busted. He looks yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I'm actually going to be a big
Speaker 1: fat pass on that one. Pass on Tom Brady or
Speaker 1: pass on us, not tom Brady. I passed just as
Speaker 1: a person bad. Yes, yeah, we're not advocating for him.
Speaker 1: We've actually passed. Wait before before we take one more
Speaker 1: break and then do I don't think so, honey. I
Speaker 1: do want to ask quickly about Dancing with the Stars. Okay,
Speaker 1: were you ever in the position where you were like
Speaker 1: almost voted out? No, so you of like you sort
Speaker 1: of clear to the end. I did, and I yeah
Speaker 1: I did. It was really it was actually really hard.
Speaker 1: You still like we're exceptional the whole way through. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank you so much, because I remember
Speaker 1: I don't actually I didn't actually watch show, but I
Speaker 1: watched all clips, Like I'm the kind of person that
Speaker 1: watches the clips of the voice. I don't like watch,
Speaker 1: I'm a clip. Watch, I'm a clip. I'm a clip.
Speaker 1: Can't commit and that's can commit to a clip. But
Speaker 1: quimby Girls, which is also something we have to talk about. Well,
Speaker 1: we have you here, while we have you here, wait, okay, no,
Speaker 1: just really quickly tell us what the show is about. Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's it's this day and useless celebrity history. Yes,
Speaker 1: celebrity history. It's just called useless celebrity history basically. So
Speaker 1: we're on the we're on the Daily Essentials platform. The
Speaker 1: day the show comes out, will talk about something that
Speaker 1: happened on that day in useless celebrity history. So we
Speaker 1: talked about like met Galas stuff, we talked about you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like z Lohan having an album come out. It's
Speaker 1: it's really fun. So I'll do a bunch of straight
Speaker 1: to camera stuff and then there's a skit in the middle,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun. I love that. That's
Speaker 1: such a good premise. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: It's a quick bite. All you need is six minutes.
Speaker 1: All you need is six So when is that? When
Speaker 1: is that coming out? Is that coming out this week?
Speaker 1: May fourth? Four? So yeah, so May fourth is, and
Speaker 1: then we'll do We're gonna do like a sneak peek,
Speaker 1: so we'll do the first ten episodes. We filmed a
Speaker 1: little bit here in my house just to kind of
Speaker 1: finish them up. But then we'll just um wait until
Speaker 1: we can get back into studio and and and continue
Speaker 1: shooting per We're looking forward to that, aren't we are? Monday?
Speaker 1: May fourth, honey? Alright, so we're going to take a
Speaker 1: short break and when we come back, we're going to
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, with the one, the Only Adam,
Speaker 1: and we're actually back, Yes, you're actually back. Yeah. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite things is to be back because when
Speaker 1: I'm gone, I don't trust myself and and people often
Speaker 1: miss me. But we're back for I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say bowen? I would say that, And but
Speaker 1: just really quickly, I just want to make sure Adam
Speaker 1: was quoting the cup song. Just now I just want
Speaker 1: to that iconic culture. I pulled a lyric from the
Speaker 1: Cup Song. Now. I think the Cup Song is due
Speaker 1: for a comeback. And I'm not even really being ironic
Speaker 1: about this. I feel like the Cup Song came and went.
Speaker 1: I mean, it did not deserve to let it go.
Speaker 1: Shelf life, Um, it did not quite have that. I
Speaker 1: feel like Cup Song was was was popping that one
Speaker 1: summer and then it just disappeared. I feel like cup
Speaker 1: songs should come back. A lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: memorable entry points and Cup Song I I support it.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Matt Well? I have to say
Speaker 1: that as a Quimby girl, I have to publicly support
Speaker 1: Missanna because even though Missanna Kendrick and I have had
Speaker 1: our differences in the past, our differences mostly being I
Speaker 1: share a generally sentiment that the title of her autobiography
Speaker 1: is Scrappy Little Nobody, and that is not good. But
Speaker 1: she's a Quimby girl with like I support my Quimby
Speaker 1: sister and her show about having a friendship with a
Speaker 1: sex doll, and I think that everyone should go ahead
Speaker 1: and check them out. I also don't think she was
Speaker 1: a stunning Cinderella and into the Woods. I love turn
Speaker 1: into the Woods. I lived for her and into the Woods.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, I was kind of like, so,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like similar with with Anna Kendrick that
Speaker 1: I am with Bryce Dallas Howard. Every time I see
Speaker 1: that Anna Kendrick is casting something, I'm like, okay, like
Speaker 1: I'm with Bryce. Stylis Ademore was like okay, And then
Speaker 1: I watch it and I'm like, yeah, that was good.
Speaker 1: That pulled through in the end. Bryce Stallas Howard gets
Speaker 1: you with the choices, and Anna Kendrick, I feel, gets
Speaker 1: you with the proficiency. But but then Ana Kendrick will
Speaker 1: hit you with them belted, a belted final note of
Speaker 1: on the steps of the Palace, and we have to
Speaker 1: stand that and respect that one. We have to. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to stand and Happy birthday, Steve, and we
Speaker 1: know you're out there. I just want to say happy
Speaker 1: birthday you from listening Steve, thank you for listening to you.
Speaker 1: Of course, Steven Sondheim is one of our biggest fans
Speaker 1: of Last Cultures, but he's written us many handwritten letters
Speaker 1: with actual He sometimes has critiques, but we are accept
Speaker 1: them and we say thank you. Stephen. Happy ninety of Steve.
Speaker 1: We really enjoyed the program celebrating your birthday. I hope
Speaker 1: you're well today, kiss um, but I haven't. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. If if you don't mind, Bowen, I
Speaker 1: don't mind, and I am would be happy to time
Speaker 1: yours one second alright, So I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: For everyone listening at home is our sixty second segment
Speaker 1: that we do. We rail against something in culture that
Speaker 1: we just don't like. And also, you know, you guys
Speaker 1: might be wondering, like when will be we be able
Speaker 1: to do a live I don't think so, honey, show again.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to do them for New York Pride,
Speaker 1: but look, guys, Pride is canceled in New York this year.
Speaker 1: The second we can go out and do live shows again.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the very first thing we're gonna want
Speaker 1: to do. It really feels like such a moment in
Speaker 1: time now. Those shows, don't they I know I missed
Speaker 1: them very much. But we'll do We'll do more. We'll
Speaker 1: do more. We'll have to have Adam or pond on. Yes.
Speaker 1: If if she's okay, man, what do you think, bo
Speaker 1: I think I think it's time to go. I think
Speaker 1: it's time to do it. Okay, here we go. This
Speaker 1: is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so honey. As time
Speaker 1: starts now, I don't think so honey. Almond milk, you're
Speaker 1: not milk. First of all. You don't taste like milk,
Speaker 1: and you're a nut and actually come from nuts. One
Speaker 1: thing I know about milk for sure is you come
Speaker 1: from a cow. I'm sorry, and I apologize to everyone
Speaker 1: who's gonna be sensitive about this. But I grew up
Speaker 1: in the house, so we drank two percent milk snowflakes.
Speaker 1: Put that in my cereal and filled it to the top.
Speaker 1: And I would have two kinds of cereal daily, Raisin
Speaker 1: brand and Honey nut Cheer. I would put two things
Speaker 1: in it, raisins, strawberries. Oh wait, no, I put a
Speaker 1: third thing in it, two percent milk. Why because it's milk.
Speaker 1: I'm in milk. Your expiration dates are confusing to me.
Speaker 1: How can you be milk and stay for two months?
Speaker 1: I understand this. And if it's not staying and I'm
Speaker 1: drinking old almond milk, someone needs to tell me. Because
Speaker 1: it's not clear on the box, it's not clear in life.
Speaker 1: These almond milk. Almonds aren't even my favorite nuts. My
Speaker 1: favorite nuts are peanuts because I'm what normal, that's one minute. Wow,
Speaker 1: we're really making some political statements here. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I have to go whenever I go into a coffee shop,
Speaker 1: I feel I'm gonna be judged if I want to
Speaker 1: drink regular milk because these girls in l A. It's taboo.
Speaker 1: You're being very dairy normative, You're being very peanut normative.
Speaker 1: I have to say, and um, and you called and
Speaker 1: you and you employed a um, right wing sort of
Speaker 1: slur there by calling your people's snowflakes. I think what
Speaker 1: I did there was I employed a right wing slur
Speaker 1: and that was someone's employed and that was with full intention.
Speaker 1: And I'm really ready for Reddit, so truly made of filth.
Speaker 1: And this is all across all reds the last click.
Speaker 1: We actually don't have a Reddit, But any anyone that
Speaker 1: wants to come for me about this thing, please, And yes,
Speaker 1: I will continue to drink almond milk in an effort
Speaker 1: to not have as much dairy, but I'm not happy
Speaker 1: about it. Nothing tastes the same, don't don't you dare try?
Speaker 1: Like the old saying goes nothing tastes as good as
Speaker 1: milk tastes. I think yeah. Kate said that. Kate Moss
Speaker 1: said that, Okay, now what happens after I do my
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Honey, is bow and Yang. It's
Speaker 1: customed for him to do his and that's the culture
Speaker 1: of this podcast and it has its own culture. And
Speaker 1: so now I would say it is time for Bowen
Speaker 1: Yang's I don't think so start that time now. I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. Heterosexual people's close friends on Instagram,
Speaker 1: their close friends stories are not salacious. Whether it's like,
Speaker 1: you're not showing me nudes and you're not talking ship,
Speaker 1: so then why the hell are you posting a picture
Speaker 1: or of your zucchini bread for me to see? It's
Speaker 1: not you're you're you're drawing me in. You're coaxing me
Speaker 1: to see some content that I think might be cool
Speaker 1: and might be edgy and fun and feel personal to me.
Speaker 1: And and then and then I go, wait, why why
Speaker 1: am I even on this? Close friends earned this and
Speaker 1: you have not earned the the platform for close friends?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Like it's all in bad faith
Speaker 1: on both sides. I don't trust straight people anymore than
Speaker 1: I used to before Close Friends picture. So I don't
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of good will to be made
Speaker 1: up straight people, especially since, um, you know, especially since
Speaker 1: now that we're all in this five crisis. I don't
Speaker 1: have WiFi anymore. I'm only relying on five G. That's
Speaker 1: the real five G conspiracy that's happening in America right now.
Speaker 1: That might have something to do with Corona. Who knows
Speaker 1: where the jury still out? And that's that's That's one
Speaker 1: minute and quite a conspiracy theory there. That was a
Speaker 1: master class. It was really really good. And I actually
Speaker 1: have to say Bow and Yang has informed me that
Speaker 1: he is on the Close Friends of a heterosexual star,
Speaker 1: and I was very excited to find out that he
Speaker 1: was included on the heterosexual stars Close Friends. It was
Speaker 1: very exciting. And it's a hot heterosexual star and we'll
Speaker 1: tell you afterwards who it is, Adam but Mary nude,
Speaker 1: not even a shirtless pick just just just you know.
Speaker 1: I'm too afraid to use Close Friends on and I
Speaker 1: don't have a fins to and I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: really missing out on both. I recommend the finsta. What
Speaker 1: do you put on it? I think you talk about
Speaker 1: people your screen grab your screen cabit text you got
Speaker 1: from someone, You're like, what the funk are they talking about? Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a Reddit threat basically, It's essentially it's a Reddit
Speaker 1: friend for sex or seven or your closest friends. Honestly,
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole close friends thing is something I'm
Speaker 1: still navigating because as I get more and more sort
Speaker 1: of like stir crazy and co are I do? I
Speaker 1: did find myself being a slut on close friends the
Speaker 1: other day. I love it and look, it's beautiful. You
Speaker 1: gotta get your kicks because I've never because let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, I don't know about you guys. Well
Speaker 1: I know about you Bowen, but I'm never being a
Speaker 1: whore on Maine. I'm never getting slutty on Maine. It's
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. I've gotten slutty on Maine. It's fine.
Speaker 1: I've gotten a little slutty on Maine. Sometimes my boyfriend
Speaker 1: tells me I don't post enough like shirtless pictures, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, wants to He's encouraging it. Yes, he
Speaker 1: is encouraging it because he knows that's what the people
Speaker 1: respond to. Like whenever you post the thirst trap of yourself.
Speaker 1: It's sad but true. That is what gets the like, Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and like I'll be posting like clips of game show.
Speaker 1: I'll be posting like pictures of the set and everything,
Speaker 1: and it's like ninety likes. Yeah. I mean I could
Speaker 1: have a picture of a newborn fucking baby on my
Speaker 1: thing and they're like show tain't. Yeah, it's dad's, dad's
Speaker 1: It's crazy exactly. Yeah. The culture, the culture, spending out
Speaker 1: of control culture, it's time for I'm actually truly nervous,
Speaker 1: but I'll think I have an idea great this is
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. As time starts now, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. The container store dot Com, oh bitch,
Speaker 1: I've been on you all fucking day for about forty
Speaker 1: five days now, and you know what, You're filled with
Speaker 1: b p A fucking bullshit, wow, fucking plastic shit all

Speaker 1: a crisis, but I want my fucking organizers here and
Speaker 1: I want to that's enough out of you, get me
Speaker 1: my ship immediately, by bitch. That's the container story. I
Speaker 1: just I got an alert on my phone that they're
Speaker 1: out of business. Out of business, and beautiful use of
Speaker 1: the phrase that's enough out of you, that's enough. I
Speaker 1: think it a few times even I think, well, that's
Speaker 1: how you know. It's something that lives inside your heart.
Speaker 1: That's how you know it's that that's something that you
Speaker 1: should be saying, honestly in the dark place when you're
Speaker 1: measuring out how many different sized lazy Susan's can fit
Speaker 1: in one cupboard. Look, what is a lazy Susan Susan?
Speaker 1: Lazy Susan's are the things that you put on the
Speaker 1: counter that spin like Okay, that's what I thought that's
Speaker 1: what I thought. But but you guys are putting them
Speaker 1: in your in your shelves. You can put them in
Speaker 1: your shelving in it's really cool. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's
Speaker 1: actually stunning. You know. A lazy Susan. This is just
Speaker 1: a gift, a gift of some knowledge to all the readers.
Speaker 1: And it's a tip. Really, a lazy Susan is a
Speaker 1: wonderful housewarming gift and it's a it's a great gift really.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have any idea what the sort
Speaker 1: of aesthetic of a friend's houses and you need to
Speaker 1: get them something, a lazy Susan is something that no
Speaker 1: one else would think of, and it's useful and they
Speaker 1: and and then it gets displayed sometimes. I'm gonna paint
Speaker 1: a picture for you really quick. Think of all the
Speaker 1: cleaning supplies underneath your sink. It's a disaster down there.
Speaker 1: It's a rat's nest. Put down a lazy Susan. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and you can get those bottles in the back, that
Speaker 1: wasp killer that you have for every once a year
Speaker 1: when they make a nest on your patio out here.
Speaker 1: This is very l a culture. Okay, Yes, and I
Speaker 1: bet you. You'll use more of your products that way too,
Speaker 1: because you won't be like, well I have to reach
Speaker 1: all the way back there and kind simply have an inventory. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Another way you can use a lazy Susan, which is
Speaker 1: how I bought Greta a lazy Susan. I about Greta
Speaker 1: and A one and they use it to put their
Speaker 1: breakfast condiments out on the table and they spin. It's
Speaker 1: a great brunch thing. If you're having people, or if
Speaker 1: you're going somewhere for a brunch like a picnic, bringing
Speaker 1: the lazy Susan out, you can do that. Um, the
Speaker 1: lazies Susan. You know, she's not too heavy. You know,
Speaker 1: she's a beautiful girl. So that ship comes in all
Speaker 1: to her. And kinds of colors. I have one that's marble,
Speaker 1: which wouldn't you know it matches my countertops. Again, but
Speaker 1: we we we cannot make the children forget that. Um

Speaker 1: different and not to get fucking heckled by the fucking
Speaker 1: Trump family. How do how does he not have How
Speaker 1: has he not been infected? I don't understand. He's like
Speaker 1: teaching everything, He's around everyone. He is not careful. It's
Speaker 1: just one of those cruel twists of fate where of
Speaker 1: course that person who like is like defiant and encouraging
Speaker 1: defiance is not gonna reap any like he is Teflon.
Speaker 1: It is so annoying to watch. But the thing about
Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon I just want to say is she is,
Speaker 1: first and foremost not an Academy Award winner, first and
Speaker 1: foremost not even a mother, not even a wife, not
Speaker 1: even a producer. She's first and foremost a quimby girl.
Speaker 1: And she has a show, Fierce Queens, where you can
Speaker 1: watch Reese Witherspoon narrate an ant colony and how the
Speaker 1: women ripped the men to shreds Now. Favorite part of
Speaker 1: those episodes are when she she does the whole narration
Speaker 1: and it's beautiful, and then she goes back and they're like,
Speaker 1: and she and the aunt then is queen again and
Speaker 1: then they go back to students. She goes, wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah she is. I love the way she interested. She goes, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys, so today we're gonna literally watch an amazing video.
Speaker 1: She she is so like I love her, Like she
Speaker 1: was doing alive, like the day of the Quimby Lunch,
Speaker 1: she was doing Alive and she was like having all
Speaker 1: these conversation and people who were going to have quickly
Speaker 1: shows and she's like, you guys, right now it's going
Speaker 1: to be such an amazing day because we're having my
Speaker 1: one of my best friends, Lena Wait. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you are not best friend to everyone in Hollywood, but
Speaker 1: she has suddenly become that Hollywood girl who is best
Speaker 1: friend with everyone. Like honestly, you can see her becoming
Speaker 1: an Oprah. She she's like a connector. She and she's
Speaker 1: so like, has she ever been on SNL when you
Speaker 1: know she hasn't she she was, she was She hosted
Speaker 1: when Sudy Sudi Sudi was hired as a Writer of
