Speaker 1: family lived in New Jersey and might add worked in Manhattan,

11
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: so like I do distinct like not to you know,

12
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I was living in the area, and I have like

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: a personal experience of it, and I remember, like, you know,

14
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: not knowing if my dad was okay, and like waiting

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: to be picked up at school. Then my mom came

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: to school. Everyone else was getting picked up and my mom,

17
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: like everyone else was getting picked up, and it was

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: like okay, this family safe, this family safe. And my

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: mom did not come early and came right when school ended,

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: meaning I was waiting in the gym for like the

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: entire school day, and then she came and I was

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: like everyone else came and picked up their kids early.

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: And she was like why and I was like, because

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: of nine eleven and she's like, well, yeah, but I

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: mean school was still happening, right. I love that in

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: that story, you, as a child knew it was already

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: nine eleven. I said, I said, haven't you heard it's

28
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: nine eleven. It's not eleven, it's the nine eleven, the

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: one I've been telling you is coming, and it's I know,

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: And you know I can't legally talk about why I knew,

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: but I did. Also, I just have to say, George,

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: you know a running theme in this podcast is how

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: absolutely piste off you are your bitch of a mom,

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: and I to say, I have to go of that anger. Listen,

35
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: you have called my mom a bit on this podcast

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: over five times, and I have never said that. Look,

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm literally just interpreting what you're saying. I'm a mirror.

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: I know you're bringing this very kind of like passive

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: wasp energy where you're like, my mom, yeah, I've met her,

40
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, you know, my mom and I

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: have fights, then we work it out like it's a

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: more healthy relationship. All I'm ever hearing from you is like,

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: oh my bitch, mom this you know once again six times? Okay, Look,

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm literally just saying what you're telling me. The last

45
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: time this happened, I was talking about how my mom

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: like I was making coffee and my mom was like, oh,

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, the water doesn't go there, and then you

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: were like, she sounds like a bit. Look, unfortunately, we

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: have no way of looking this information up, so we

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, we delete the podcast episodes right when

51
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: we post them. That way are more valuable. Sometimes our

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: audience grows and we say, no, I'm scared of success.

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: How about you? Yeah, me too. Um. You know, actually, pathetically,

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I did make a nine eleven post. Um, Oh my god,

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: what was it? Well, it was you were you Prower

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: against Um? It was a neutral take it just um.

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: I said that when I was in when nine eleven happened,

58
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I was scared because I was in the third largest

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: middle school in Ohio and we were sure, like, just

60
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: statistically speaking, that was probably the next target. That's a

61
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: really funny joke. Well, and that's true. You know, I

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: remember being in the library and the kids being like, well,

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean think about it, like we are the that's

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the third biggest library or biggest middle school. Did people

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: actually say that? People actually thought that, like, because you

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: know how everyone wants to make something about themselves, Like

67
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: these were sort of exercising early narcissism. That's really I mean, honestly,

68
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: it's really cool that can even happen in Ohio and

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: not just you know Bushwick. Isn't it cool that narcissism

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: exists throughout this great nation? You don't need to be

71
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: coastal to have it. Yeah, no, there are well, no,

72
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: it's just more sad if you're not. But there are

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: different I think there are different flavors of narcissism, you know,

74
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: the Midway. I feel like the narcissism of of an

75
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: Ohio is kind of thinking that they are the real America. Yeah,

76
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: that is very true. And then the narcissism of like

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn is thinking, you know what is Ohio? Right,

78
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not, I'm European, like right, transcend New

79
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: York is in Europe technically, I mean it's so close, right, um?

80
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: But you know, can I tell you the really stupid

81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: joke I wanted to make for Yes, I I fully

82
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: drafted it. I was about to screenshot it and send

83
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: it to you and be like, should I post this?

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: And the joke was she I barely remember a world

85
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: before nine eleven. Oh wait, yes I do. It was yesterday?

86
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: Uh nine a k A nine ten. And then I

87
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: would put a bunch of laughing emojis and then hashtag

88
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Friday funny god on, just trying to lighten the damn move.

89
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: It really is interesting that that joke not only didn't

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: make it online, but didn't even make it to my

91
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: personal texting, Like it didn't even you knew even just

92
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: to send it to me was embarrassing. Yeah, well I

93
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: knew you wouldn't appreciate it. It's really not your style,

94
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 1: and um I respect that, and having to think it through,

95
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: I thought it, do I need to be tweeting this? Which, yeah,

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: well what do you? What do we think currently about? Um?

97
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Ironic bad jokes? Like to write something and then do

98
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: like clapping emoji, laughing emoji. I think it can be

99
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: fun when the like the timeline feels extremely toxic, like

100
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,599

Speaker 1: of an interesting way to say that I've been watching tennis,

119
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: but it's not an interesting thing. I mean it can be.

120

Speaker 1: I mean, has anything interesting happened in tennis? Yes, sir?

123
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,239

125
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Sharp was also watching and I just was in this

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: text thread with him where after every point one of

127
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: us would just be like whoo or like yikes or

128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: like oof, And I was like, what are we doing? What?

129
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: What is the point of like texting a syllable after

130
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: each point? Should I just be watching this match by myself?

131
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: Was it fun? Yeah? I mean maybe you don't need

132
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: to investigate these few Maybe you just I can't imagine. No, Okay, sure,

133

Speaker 1: let's bring in our guest. Well, I was trying to

134
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: think of a fun way to talk about my gorgeous

135
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: trip upstate. Um, but let's just bring in our guests. Yeah. No,

136
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't think upstate or watching the US Open really

137
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: qualify as next topics. That's a good point. Um, okay

138
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: should we bring him in? Or okay, um, please give

139
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: it up for our next guest. He is the inventor

140
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: of the cotton gin. It is Joel can Booster. I

141
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: love when you guys just sort of hit a wall

142
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: and that's when you decide to bring guests in. Um,

143
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: that is uh my favorite part of your podcast. Yeah,

144
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: and you know what, Joel, thank you. We already ask

145
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: this off, Mike, but I want you to be perfectly honest,

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: ask someone who does listen to this podcast, what is it? Um?

147
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Where's it going? Um? I think it's going straight to

148
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: the forever Dog now, you know you would think, And

149
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: yet we have not gotten any emails. You know that

150
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: is really incredible that we have not gotten that email.

151
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: I think if fits right in with that network, which

152
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: is just populated by podcasts that I listened to, because, UM,

153
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: it makes me feel less alone, because it makes me

154
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: feel like I'm hanging out with my good friends. UM.

155
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: And that is what that network is to me personally,

156
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: just me and my good friends hanging out. And that's

157
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: what this podcast is to me. It's so crazy that

158
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: you said that, because from the beginning we said we

159
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: don't want this to feel like friends hanging out. We

160
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: wanted to feel like it's actually out in something to

161
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: the conversation. So I guess we've failed. We Yeah, I

162
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: intrinsically sort of feel like this is an inside baseball

163
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: podcast for our specific group text. That is how I

164
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: feel about it, and I and in that way, I

165
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: was deeply offended that it actually has taken this long

166
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: for me to be invited on. UM. Well, here's the

167
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: thing we have been UM Well, first of all, we

168
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: didn't want to have you on, but second of all,

169
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: we've been trying to kind of stretch out UM the

170
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: game men that we have on. I see what you're

171
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: doing with the guests. You're you're trying to go off

172
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the beaten path, You're trying to take it outside of

173
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: the lost Cultures to cinematic universe. I get you're trying

174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: to go with some you know, you know, interesting guests

175
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: that maybe people who don't listen to these podcasts haven't

176
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: heard from before. You're you know, I don't know, like yeah,

177
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: people like Matt Rogers or Bowen Yang And now me,

178
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: I was, I was really nervous Sam when you were

179
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: introducing me that you were actually going to list a

180
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: credit because if I know, for now, we don't know

181
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: any of you don't do that in this house, and

182
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: so I would have been you haven't been in anything

183
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: right right never? And I actually, um, it would have

184
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: been actually humiliating for me if you had listed to

185
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: credit and I'd been, well, yeah, I didn't want to

186
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: say I mean, I could have said, you know, out

187
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: of bounds comedy festival in Austin, Texas. But I just

188
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. I feel like that would almost be offensive

189
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: to you. He's the host of UM, a monthly show

190
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: at this and that UM but cut that's pre George.

191
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: George was still coming up at Boston Open Mics when

192
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I was was being a bar show at this and

193
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: that R I p in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that I love

194
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: this and that is a classic UM or earlier Williamsburg

195
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: venue name. Yeah, you know after that show was one

196
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: of the drunkest times of my entire life. Oh yeah,

197
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: um which the bartender kept giving me free drinks and

198
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: I was I remember talking to you and you were

199
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: I was like, he just keeps giving free drinks and

200
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, he's just gonna keep doing that. And

201
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: I was like, well, this is great then, and I

202
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: was like watch like kind of like doing it like

203
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: a little trick, and I was like, watch me get

204
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: a free drink. It was a nightmare. That was really

205
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: that was a really great at a pack in I

206
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: think comedy in the scene, like I remember George on

207
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: one episode I think with with Drew Anderson, you're saying

208
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: that New York comedy was just people singing Broadway songs now, um,

209
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: and I and I get the sentiment, but I agree

210
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: that like there was a time when that was not happening.

211
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: In in fact, those impulses were shamed and people sort

212
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: had to hide that. Um, absolutely for that. And I mean,

213
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: much like all other industries, comedy used to be inhospitable

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: to gay men, and now it's too hospitable. People are

215
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: feeling a little too comfortable, you know what, I actually

216
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: genuinely agree. I mean, no, it sounds okay, this sounds toxic,

217
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: but I fully think we got to make some cuts.

218
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I actually think if we were to make

219
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: cuts now, I would be cut. I would be cut

220
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: for sure. Really, I know, I think I think funny

221
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: in months, I literally haven't. And I know that, babe.

222
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: It's the pandemic of the pandemic. But the pandemic is

223
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: here to stay, and so at this point, if you're

224
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: not if you can't be funny in the pandemic, then

225
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: you're just not funny. I think it's I no, no,

226
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: it's true. But the thing is we have to the

227
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: number of universal experiences is smaller during the pandemic, So

228
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: the things you can make fun of are so are

229
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: also similar. It's so I guess people have been making

230
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: jokes about like relationships and jobs for decades, and there's

231
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: also a lot of like, you know, I can't really

232
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: talk about all of the really funny happenings going on

233
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: at the speakeasies that I'm frequenting now, Yes, and that's

234
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: really good, you know, like I can't a lot of

235
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: slapstick humor in your speakeasy orgies. Yeah, there's no more

236
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: wild talks about those parties were all at all the time. Yeah,

237
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: I I it really has sort of made me realize

238
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: that the locust of my writing for the last two

239
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: years has been drugs and orgies, which is reversal stuff.

240
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: I've really managed to make it um really fun and

241
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: universal for the people that I played too largely in

242
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: the Midwest, which I also wanted to say that growing

243
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: up in the Midwest during nine eleven, I remember my

244
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: dad's stockpiling canned goods, and even at the age of

245
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: like twelve, I was like, I don't even know where

246
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: New York is right now, so why would they care?

247
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Why would they care? Plane feel Illinois. The Midwest really

248
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: took that as an identity, like because it was. It

249
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: was a very what I remember, here's what I remember

250
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: from from Africa, because this is I feel like these

251
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: are things that we were all just young enough to

252
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: like not question, but old enough to really remember visc

253
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: really do. Like there was such a rise in full

254
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: on like nationalism, but in like a cute in like

255
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: an a political way. Like I distinctly remember asking my

256
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: parents to buy a little magnet for our car that

257
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: said support our troops. Like it was like a yellow

258
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: ribbon magnet, and I was like, this is a status symbol,

259
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: like everyone has that. It's kind of the tel far

260
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: bag of um a post nine eleven America, New Jersey

261
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: or like I remember like buying a like a winter

262
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: hat that was that had like an American It was

263
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: all stars around the head and then stripes going up.

264
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: I remember in youth group because I was school at

265
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: the time, so I wasn't in school for this, but

266
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: I remember in youth group we started folding the flag

267
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: at the end of every youth group. Oh my god,

268
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: in in the way that you're supposed to fold flags

269
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: in the respectful way, like basically all of turning all

270
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: of us into those messengers who like bring the flag

271
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: to fallen soldiers homes at the end of the war. Um,

272
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: that's how I felt. That's it felt like dragged to

273
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: me every single day. It really was. It was like

274
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: a way, weirdly enough, it was so accessible to be

275
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: patriotic in that kind of surface level way that I

276
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: found it to be a way that I could um

277
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: relate to my to you know, my friends who had

278
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: non immigrant parents. I was like, yeah, I love the

279
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: American flag was huge. It was really like, Okay, I'm

280
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: going to join the army. Like if I were like

281
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: if I were like killing right now, I would absolutely

282
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: join the army. If I wasn't in school and eleven,

283
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: I would be joining the army. I remember. I mean

284
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: I identified as a Republican until I was sixteen to

285
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: oh that was your I absolutely did, because you don't know,

286
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: there is somewhere out there a toxic essay that I

287
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: wrote for like a one prize for like the local

288
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: bookstore that's like pro George Bush, and it is like

289
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: it will be released one day and I will like

290
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I was literally thirteen, and it was just like, oh,

291
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe. I remember looking my a p U S.

292
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: History teacher in the eyes who wasn't like a vowed liberal,

293
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: and being like, I'm so glad George W. Bush was

294
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: reelected and he said why and I said, because I

295
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: feel safe for now. Well, at least you were like

296
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: evolved in your messaging. I would say you were really

297
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: was the official line? Good for you? I Um, I

298
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: remember very clearly thinking that I personally was smarter than

299
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: George W. Bush and um asking asking my parents. I

300
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: was like, I was basically making the argument like no

301
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: matter what your beliefs are, like, he's not smart, Like

302
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: I think I'm smarter than him, right, And I remember

303
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: my dad being like, well, I mean, I don't know

304
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: if you're smarter than him currently, like you are, um eleven,

305
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: but but I see what you're saying. And then I

306
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: also remember being part of the Young Liberals group in

307
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: my middle school where we would um order Carrie buttons

308
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: and wear them. Oh wow, woke bay. Yeah, it doesn't

309
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: seem like it could sustain an entire club for very long.

310
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: That's literally all it was. I don't we did nothing else,

311
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: and it was it was in response to a Young

312
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: Conservatives club that was started so then and I didn't

313
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: know the words conservative and liberalist Republican and Democrat, and

314
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I remember being like, okay, liberal is democrat? Good, Like

315
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: that's the synonym um. But yeah, this was when I

316
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: was learning a lot of different words. For instance, one

317
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: time someone asked me what my religion was, and I said,

318
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: First of all, they said, are you Jewish or Christian?

319
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: And I said Christian because that's how I was raised,

320
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: and they were And then I was like, um, I'm

321
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: Christian Orthodox because I was Greek Orthodox. And then the

322
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: person goes, no, Orthodox is only for Jews, and I

323
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, well I guess I'm wrong. I

324
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy is growing up in my church

325
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: we would not even call Greek Orthodox Christians. We would

326
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: not at all. That makes it Wait, what was your

327
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know any of the names. Baptist? Okay, interesting,

328
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: you just love youth group? Were you a freak for it?

329
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I was a freak for youth group. I was a

330
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: youth leader. We would have to you would like. The

331
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: thing is is my youth group was a franchised youth group,

332
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: and so it was connected to a large camp in

333
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: New York that you would go to every summer and

334
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: compete in. You would also compete throughout the year in

335
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: regional Bible quizzine competitions. This is oh I did know

336
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: this about you? Yeah yeah. But also like it was

337
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: also like speech and debate. So there would be like

338
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: dramatic monologues you could form as Jesus, you could do

339
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: a preaching Christians, you could do girls were allowed weren't

340
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: allowed to do preaching. They were allowed to do storytelling

341
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: for children, and then the boys had to be preaching.

342
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: And then you would do like group drama like re enactments,

343
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: and you would compete. And I competed in those as well,

344
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: and I made it to nationals quite a few times

345
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: doing monologues, which very competitive. I have to say, I

346
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: can't imagine, um, you know, getting anything out of talking

347
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: to a crowd of people on a stage, um, and

348
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: even adding a competitive element to it. It sounds so immature. Um.

349
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: You know. It was sort of the America's got talent

350
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: for Bible people at the time. And I remember going

351
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: to New York and competing at these camps and it

352
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: was the most incredible experience of my entire fucking life.

353
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: And every every summer I'd go to these camps, and

354
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: every summer I would throw all of my secular CDs

355
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: into a bonfire that I drink that, and then three

356
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: months later I would I would renig and like, you know,

Speaker 1: these advanced degrees. Lanson Kerman is too much. I mean

430
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: the fact that his name is Langston and he has

431
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: an m f A in poetry, and he taught he

432
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: was a high school English teacher on the South Side. Yes, exactly.

433
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: Jan is married to a beautiful, gorgeous woman. Yeah. Who

434
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: So he is a doctor. I want to say, like, not,

435
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, enough has a PhD. I want to

436
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: say they're kind of a um uh, they're like a

437
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: plant to make heterosexuality like acceptable again. Yeah, well it's working.

438
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of turning back me too. Actually, can I

439
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: say that I have in recent years been like, maybe

440
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: I missed something here. I agree. I've been thinking about

441
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: like circling back and just grazing bisexuality for a second,

442
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: just to that's the real horseshoe theory is that we're

443
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: all going to be straight in two years. I would

444
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: love for that to be true, that there's there's not

445
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: enough of that. Do you think it's tough because bisexuality exists?

446
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: But if it didn't, then do you think there would

447
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: be many people that were that would like then do like, um,

448
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: there would be like Rachel Dollar drawls for for homosexuality.

449
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: You you so you're saying, would bisexual people exist if

450
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: bisexuality didn't exist? You know what, let's nip this right

451
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: in the bud. Do you remember when Cynthia Nixon said

452
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: that you could choose your sexuality days of Cynthia Nixon.

453
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: I do. But here's the thing the way she said

454
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: it was not. She was just like, I choose to

455
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: be with a woman. Yes, I know, I miss I'm

456
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: intentionally misrepresenting it because it's funnier to say that Cynthia

457
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: Nixon believes you can choose your sexuality. Yeah, you know,

458
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: that's why she lost to the Blasio because of that comment.

459
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: How do you think Cynthia Nixon would have handled the pandemic?

460
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Jams would have been open way soon. Here's the thing,

461
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: It's really there is something really tough about these scenarios

462
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: with the pandemic because, on the one hand, I want

463
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Cynthia Nixon to be governor. On the other hand, all

464
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: these like ruthless, unethical, mobster like people such as Hillary

465
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: Clinton or Bill de Blasio or whoever or else, when

466
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: it comes to something as sweeping as a pandemic, I'm like,

467
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the spreadsheets. Okay, you started off very

468
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: Jacoba and then you ended very New Republic. Yeah, I'm I'm,

469
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm coming around to the New Republic point of view.

470
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: I am shocked that that is your take. I'm genuinely surprised.

471
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't help but feel that she would

472
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: obviously be doing a better job. She would love she

473
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: loves a spreadsheet. It's true. Something Nick, Well, if you're

474
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: gonna be a leftist, you need to be bisexual. No,

475
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: that's it. I have nothing more to add. I don't

476
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: actually think Deblasi is doing a good job. I'm I'm

477
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to there's something in the kind of like,

478
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: no matter how many people um wait, I'm also not

479
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: talking about DEBLIGI, I'm talking about Cuomo. But but let's

480
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: take the Blagia for instance, the fact that no matter

481
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: how many people literally we are like telling him to

482
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: resign every single day, he just keeps on doing the

483
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: same thing. What if that thing was good? What if

484
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: we could channel the energy of just like that blind

485
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: faith in what you're doing. But then you had like

486
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: good politics. And I don't know if um, someone like

487
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Cynthia Nixon would have that. I think she would be

488
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: very influenced by what people around her were saying because

489
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: of her empathy. She'd listen to her constituents exactly, she'd

490
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: listen to her constituents. But sometimes constituents are bad. Some well,

491
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: there are, there are too many of them, especially in

492
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: a city like New York. Well, and that's why we

493
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: have to make cuts right. We have to get rid

494
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: of some constituents that's made aware of how how many

495
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: people live in Wyoming. Um, just the other day stumbled

496
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: across this information. Do you guys know crisis right rules?

497
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: How many people are in Wyoming? How many people in

498
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: the state of Wyoming. I'm guessing, Um, that sounds right?

499
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: A hundred thousand is your guest? Wait? Hold on, hold on,

500
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: you think hundred thousand people in Wyoming? A little? How

501
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: about um, three hundred thousand? Okay, you bother her George

502
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: wins prices right Rules because he's he got close. Is

503
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: it literally like two million? No, it's it's five thousand. Um,

504
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: But what I will say, your guest is more reasonable

505
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: than Sam's one hundred thousand people. There's a hundred thousand

506
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: people in green Point right now? No, you were you

507
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: were You were like setting this up as like it's

508
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: you will never believe how few people there are in Wyoming.

509
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, are there five if not

510
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: that many people? Think about how people live in New

511
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: York City, I mean five thousand people sounds like a

512
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: lot of people. Imagine you're throwing a party in your

513
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: apartment and then you invite five thousand people, like I

514
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: would be upset. I be like, this is a lot

515
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: of people. I'd be like, there need to be some

516
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: cuts made, Like does anyone have a list? Like therely

517
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: invest in a V I P section always like the

518
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: amount of people that went to the warp Tour one year,

519
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, like, I don't even think that, Like that

520
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: is like an eighth of the population of New York.

521
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 1: But doesn't that grind your gears? They get two senators?

522
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh that's what you're saying. Of course, of course, of

523
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: course I'm so nervous that I said, in my efforts

524
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: to be funny, basically expressed support for Bill de Blasio

525
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and Andrew Cuomo and Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton. And

526
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: you know what, ultimately, if you look at if you

527
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: look at everything I said literally and you kind of

528
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: take it at face value, that is what I did.

529
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: But I promise you I don't feel that way. Well, George,

530
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: are you really did a good act? What I'm trying

531
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: to say? You know what I'm gonna keep. I'm gonna

532
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: keep a Biden this November. So you're saying women are

533
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: too weak. I feel like men should get the vaccine first.

534
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Are you guys gonna get the Are you guys gonna

535
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: get the first wave vaccine? Because I am. I'm gonna say,

536
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: give it to me. I don't care. I don't care

537
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: what it does to me October, Give me the vaccine.

538
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Give it to me earlier. I've signed up for every

539
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: single trial of a vaccine that I can find. Do

540
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: they pay you for the trials? I don't think so,

541
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: And I don't need the money. I need the vaccine, Okay, honey,

542
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: so that I can walk to subway without a mask on.

543
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: That's what I want. Subway every day, like fucking Jarrett

544
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: and get a sandwich. Isn't that sad? You do culture

545
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: right there? When you were saying I would walk to

546
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: the subway, I was like, Oh, he's like pretending he's

547
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: still in New York. Like, ok, I just won't call

548
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: him out on this, like, sure to go to the

549
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: subway in l A. Oh the subway. You guys are

550
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: adding roll back the transcript. I said, subway walk to

551
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: subway way. This is sort of subway subway every day?

552
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Why because I know how much is in it and

553
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: it is healthy for you. Are you in the running

554
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: to be the next spokesperson. I cannot confirm nor deny

555
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: the next pedophile to be representing America's next pedophile representing

556
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: subway banks. Oh you know, remember when okay, this is

557
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: not okay whatever, I'm gonna try talking about it. Remember

558
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: when Jared Vogel got arrested and then everybody was like, wait,

559
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: that's not the right name, and it is okay, that

560
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: is the right name. Uh, And everybody like made the

561
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: same joke on Twitter where it was like I hope

562
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: he's taken a foot long in prison or something, and

563
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: it was like all so bad and stupid. But there

564
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: was one guy who was like a failed open micer

565
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: who made a Facebook post where he was like clearly

566
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: trying to get to the computer and type the joke

567
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, and he wrote if you to

568
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: be in shape to catch the kid, which like, wait,

569
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: he wrote, what if you to be in shape to

570
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: catch the kid? That was that was the whole sentence.

571
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: That's so funny. It was clearly I see what he's doing. Yeah,

572
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: and he just it was full of typos and he

573
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: couldn't you know, it's all about timing. He was like,

574
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: I gotta get this out before anybody else. Remember about

575
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: the week that Jared Fogel was arrested. Is I believe

576
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: I could be making this up, but I believe it

577
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: was the same week that Facebook reacts came out, and

578
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: I just remember smashing that and they created those you

579
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: know how how YouTube was created after um, after Janet

580
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Jackson you know, had had her words amountfunction, But in fact,

581
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: the react buttons were created because people were so angry

582
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: about Jared Fogel that they needed something other than a like, Sam,

583
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: here's the question, and that is on everyone's lips. Now

584
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: that we've brought up Jared Fogo. I can hear your

585
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: listeners clamoring to get inside and no, would you smash?

586
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: I draw a line, and I have to draw the line.

587
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: There your type, but not at Dr Phil. I sent

588
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: you a video of Dr Phil today and you got

589
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: a chub. Sam, I do think Dr Phil is a

590
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: step too far? No, okay, but you have to you

591
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: have to put yourself in the full Like the full

592
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: fantasy was Dr Phil doing a TikTok where he's saying like,

593
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: like people are calling me daddy online and then he

594
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: says in this weird voice, like kind of southern kind

595
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: of scolding in a way that's sure. I mean it's like,

596
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: I ain't your daddy. And I was like, oh, like,

597
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: come on you. I just imagine you on your knees,

598
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Dr phil and him looking down and just saying I

599
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: ain't your daddy. Oh does that not turn you guys

600
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: on a little? Sam? When you first said you were

601
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: attracted Dr Philip, I was not into it. But when

602
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: I found out that it was because of a TikTok,

603
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm on board. Oh yeah, we are all pro TikTok

604
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: here where pro TikTok? I am pro uh Cynthia Nixon

605
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,959

Speaker 1: I'm i am anti Jared Fogel, Yes, and I'm you know,

607
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: I would say I see both sides. With the Jared

608
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: Fogo situation. How do you think he would handle the pandemic? Well,

609
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, he really you can't say he's not disciplined.

610
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: Here here's the point I was trying to make, and

611
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: I actually think this is why Jared would handle the pandemic. Well,

612
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: is is the pandemic is such a like it's you

613
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: just have to have tunnel vision and and just be

614
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: like every single person is the same, and we're going

615
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: to get every single person the vaccine. So if you

616
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: are just without even considering anything else. Ideally, I'm not

617
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: saying that is what anyone is currently doing, but the

618
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: ideal situation is that it should be like an equalizing

619
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: force and that every single person is just as susceptible

620
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: to it, and every single person deserves a vaccine. So

621
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: then what you need is someone who is so uh

622
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: single minded that they can just focus on that one task.

623
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: And Jared has only done one, well two things, but

624
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: one thing in his life, which is that he has

625
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: lost weight by eating subway sandwiches. And I feel like

626
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: if he could channel that kind of single mindedness to

627
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: something like dealing with the pandemic, we could really have something.

628
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: Whereas Cynthia Nixon, it's like she's an actress, she's a politician,

629
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: she's bisexual. Jared Fogo would make a better I think

630
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: what you're describing is a tzar. You think that Jared

631
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: Fogo would be a good pandemics are yes and yeah,

632
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: get him in Fauci's role. Yeah, Jared Folo is the

633
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: new Faucci. Let's get a trending. I speaking of you,

634
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: know nine eleven things as kids that we interpreted weird.

635
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: Jared Fogel, I remember being a kid and being like

636
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: truly inspired and being like, Wow, anything is possible, dared

637
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: to believe like this man lost weight by eating subway. Well, Sam,

638
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, as a very fat kid,

639
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: I the whole thing. Ill. It made me think that

640
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: to to lose weight with something that if I really

641
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: put my mind to it, I can do in the

642
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: span of like two months, I just needed to find

643
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: the right sandwich chain. So that's why I kept putting

644
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: it off. Yeah, well I can see that that makes sense.

645
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: Thank you. Did they not have quiz nos in Micanos

646
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: or wherever the funk you were? Well, first of all,

647
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: this was when I was in New Jersey and they

648
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: most certainly had quiz nos there. Um. So Joel, we

649
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: have this. We have asked you to have come prepared

650
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: with the topic. Yeah, and I'll say, um, the topic

651
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I am I've come to prepared to talk to you

652
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: about is spiders and bugs. Um. And it's a topic

653
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: that I think and I was really struggling with this

654
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: because I thought, for a second, there is something feminine

655
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: about spiders. Spiders are often sort of like we project

656
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: like the female gender onto them, and spiders are girls,

657
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: sort of canonically hugs are boys, but dealing with them

658
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: is a boy's job. Is it's a straight male job.

659
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, so the reason I really thought

660
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: about this is because I was really thinking about like

661
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: the last messages of my own heterosexuality. And it was

662
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: when I was like eight years old, and there was

663
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: a time in my life where I really wanted to

664
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: be an entomologist. Like that was like my first big

665
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: career aspiration was to be an entomologist, and I like

666
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: fascinated with bugs, and I was specifically and this this

667
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: hurts my heart to say, but I would. I would

668
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: capture spiders and put them in containers together and make

669
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: them fight. And then I developed empathy and realized and

670
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: it was sort of a crossroads of like, you know,

671
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: you either graduate from spiders to real animals or you become,

672
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, a person with empathy. And thankfully I developed

673
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: empathy and realized how horrific that is. But I think

674
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: making Spider's fight is very straight making spiders fight. Making

675
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: Spider's fight is definitely sort of you lashing out, you know,

676
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: I I see that as you trying to fit in

677
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: with straight it feels so. But to me, making spider's

678
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: fight is very like if spiders are girls, is you're

679
00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: Andy Cohen. We're kind of Andy Cole and your route Paul,

680
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: and you're making them lips thing for their lives like

681
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: this does not seem to me. I mean, imagine growing

682
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: up in a household with no barbies, what are you

683
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna do? You have to find anything? Spiders were my barbies. Yeah,

684
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: and luckily I had two sisters, so barbies were my barbies.

685
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: Have I told the story on this podcast about how

686
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: one time my grandmother saw me playing with the barbie

687
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: and then immediately went outside and chain smoked for like

688
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: three hours. My parents were never prouder of me than

689
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: when I would run around and saying I wanted to

690
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: be a bug scientist. Um, and what the fund do

691
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: bug scientists are? What exactly are they doing today? You? Like?

692
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: Do I hope they feel proud of themselves that they

693
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: went into such a useless fucking field, Like we're going

694
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: through a global fucking pandemic and you're studying how crickets

695
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: nate for you for what reason? Literally? Why? Counterpoint? I

696
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: think I I knew one in college who studied ants,

697
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: and she was like, aunts are the most collaborative creatures

698
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: and if we could all channel ants, then we would

699
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: live in a socialist utopia. What do you have to

700
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: say about that? How are we gonna do that? Like

701
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: download their damn brain? I'm picked off? And ants are

702
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: also the most crushable creatures too, Okay, yes, it's called

703
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: vulnerable radical vulnerability. They're also extremely strong, they are. Do

704
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: you know who's gay? Grasshoppers? Why? Because they're hopping around?

705
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a straight person be like They

706
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: also all do sort of seem like they're wearing accessories,

707
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: like you can that's the thing. Yeah, really easily picture

708
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: a grasshopper and a top hat in a monocle, was

709
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: um any sort? And which are all three very gay

710
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: accessories as we know. Did I ever tell you about

711
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: the time I met Anthony wearing a monocle? Oh? No? Yeah.

712
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: I opened for John for Jonathan van ness Um at

713
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: the improv and to to his credit, I will say

714
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: this about Jonathan vaness doing stand up. You know for

715
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: a fact that there's no jokes, you know, going in

716
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: that there's no jokes, there's no hard set sold out

717
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: like five shows. Um, and every time he opened his

718
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: mouth just uproarious laughter. And to his credit, I will say,

719
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: at one point in the middle of his set, he

720
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: literally um was like, you guys are just laughing at

721
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: everything I say, even the stuff that's not supposed to

722
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: be funny. Why are you doing that? And then they

723
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: laughed at that even harder, and you could tell he

724
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: was sort of in his own nightmare at that point,

725
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: Like it was like a very Twilight Zone moment where

726
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: he was like, I've gotten my greatest wish, but I

727
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: hate it. And then he was he literally turned to

728
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: a woman in the front room and he's like, are

729
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: you eating pizza? Like applause break up, an applause break.

730
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: That's literally verbatim when he said, he said, are you

731
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: eating pizza? Applause break? And then he said, what are

732
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: you guys doing? Wing? Uh? So it was incredible to

733
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: watch someone sort of realized that like they just couldn't

734
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: they knew that they weren't good, but like they also

735
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: could do no wrong. And most of the other Queer

736
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Eye guys were there, and in between shows, we were

737
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: in the green room and Tan was very nice. He

738
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: was like he treated us, like the people that were

739
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: opening for Jonathan, like we were selept. He was like,

740
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe what you do. It's incredible. And Anthony

741
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: was like very like, no one looked at me, but

742
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: he kept being like, I'm where. I was like, why

743
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: are you? We were all sort of like, why are

744
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: you wearing um this monocle? And he said, because I

745
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: don't want people to know who I am. And it's

746
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: like you've put a target on your face. Uh no,

747
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: that's what he said. What a disguise, What a disguise?

748
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: A monocle? Um and Pete Davidson and um Ariana Grande

749
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: were also up there, and they were they are on

750
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: a very nice I did approach her and say I'm sorry,

751
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm gay and I have to say this, but I

752
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: love you, and she was very and she, you know,

753
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: it was very sweet about it. And then she was like,

754
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: we're actually going to home to play quip blash and

755
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: watch Harry Potter. Um. So that's a little window into

756
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: what that relationship was. I think it's really cool that

757
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: you felt the need to say that you're gay while

758
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: you're opening for the Queer Eye Cast. I felt the

759
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: need to say I was gay, so that like she

760
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: knew why I was approaching her. Um, not, I don't know, George, listen, Joel.

761
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful that you open with that. I

762
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: think that is it's honest. That's actually how I approach

763
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: women at the gym. When I when I would go

764
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: to the gym and I would like need to work

765
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: in with the worm, I would say, I have to. Yeah.

766
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: I did go through a phase where I was like,

767
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, you know, it was obvious that

768
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: I was gay, So I so I felt that every

769
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: time I talked to a woman, I thought I didn't

770
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: want her to think I was hitting on her. So

771
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: it would be very common for you to be like,

772
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: first of all, like I'm gay, so let's get that

773
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: out of the way. I always hated when, like, like,

774
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: I know, straight guys get annoyed when girls are like

775
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: my boyfriend, like really early in the conversation. But I

776
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: would get like super annoyed when they would be like,

777
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: well my boyfriend, because I was like, yeah, fine, like

778
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm literally not hitting on you, Like stop

779
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: saying your boyfriend, Like I don't care. God, girls can

780
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: be so cruel to gaze ever talked about that. People

781
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: are always talking about gay misogyny these days, but they

782
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 1: never talked about this. They never talked about straight homophobia.

783
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Why are we not talking about straight homophobia? Remember when

784
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: everyone was where it was cool to be like bachelorette

785
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: parties in gay bars. Is like Nazi Germany. I do

786
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,959
Speaker 1: not remember that comparison being popular. They don't remember it either,

787
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: And I do think there there is like such a

788
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: weird like they're like, gay people aren't persecuted anymore. Um,

789
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: we all know that, and I think that a lot

790
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: of kids we were still um, and so that's like

791
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: their one go to is that, well, what happens is

792
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: the gay people that are persecuted are like being resilient

793
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 1: and you know, being extremely strong, and the gay people

794
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: that aren't persecuted are writing uh books about being persecuted. Yeah,

795
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: well also, um, people are being persecuted don't have time

796
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: because they're being persecuted, right Exactly, If you're actually being persecuted,

797
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be writing a book or kind of having

798
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: an audible original. Well, gay people today is kind of

799
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: like the Midwest during nine eleven, where it is not

800
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: about you at all. You're chilling but they're still like,

801
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: do you see what could happen to me? Like? What

802
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: that's that you hit the nail on the head. Urban

803
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: gay people today with homophobia are like the Midwest with

804
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: nine eleven. It has nothing to do with you. Stop

805
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: making this about you. Yes, canned goods and stop you.

806
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: They just want to come into the bars. M um.

807
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: So bugs, I'm honestly surprised that you liked them. Do

808
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: you still feel comfortable around I'm tortured. The other reason

809
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: I brought up spiders is because so I live by

810
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: a river currently very close to river. I won't say

811
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: which one because people to find me. It's the river wild.

812
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: And because of that, there are a lot of bugs.

813
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: And I live in a spider haven. There are no

814
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: less than five spiders in every room of my apartment

815
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: right now, and it is um it's terrifying. And my neighbors,

816
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: who I live in a duplex and I share a

817
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: backyard with my neighbors, and there they begged me every

818
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: day not to kill the spiders. These other spiders are

819
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 1: so important to the ecosystem because they kill the other bugs.

820
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: And I famously have a joke where I say I

821
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: don't want to work with the bugs to get rid

822
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: of the bugs. You know, I don't want to work

823
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: the community to get rid of the other bubbles um.

824
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: But that's how I feel, because it just doesn't seem

825
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: worth it. And also they're constantly telling me they're like,

826
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: the spiders are more afraid of you than you are

827
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: at them. And to that, I say, prove that, because

828
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: it gets like if they're afraid, then they should leave. Yes, exactly.

829
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: They I don't share a bed with people I'm afraid of. Yes, yeah,

830
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: it can be hot to be a little scared. Yeah, Jo,

831
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: that's that one we're not on board with. We were

832
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: like with you until the very end. You ever thought

833
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: that the bugs think it's hot to be scared of

834
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: you and therefore they get in your bed? Maybe? You know?

835
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: I hate I hate it when the first thing people

836
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: bring up with spiders is how many spiders you eat

837
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: in a year? And I feel like, during the pandemic,

838
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: we're all eating so many more spiders than we normally would, right,

839
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: I do what. I would love to know the logic

840
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: on that. Wait, I have a question, what even is

841
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: the whole like, um, we eat this many spiders in

842
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: a year? I feel like someone just made that up once. No,

843
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: I believe it because have you ever woken up with

844
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: a spider on your face? I know I've woken up

845
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: with a giant cockroach on my back. Congrats, So you've

846
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: woken up with a spider on your face many times?

847
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: Have you never? Never creeping on your face? And sort

848
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: of like you never once? Oh my god, you guys

849
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: are gaslighting me right now. This is a this is

850
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: a human experience that many people share. No, what's gaslighting

851
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: is everyone being like, yeah, you eat a number of

852
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: spiders in your lifetime, and it's like, where's the data?

853
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: Why it's in there? That's what I wonder. Why would

854
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: they go in there? Well, they're attracted to moisture. Oh

855
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: are they? I don't know, but that makes sense you

856
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: an entomologists. Maybe I think this is a total and

857
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: complete urban myth. I think I've worked it up and

858
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a lie. And I the fact that

859
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: it spread is because it's such a juicy piece of

860
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: gossip that everyone talks about it. But it's not true.

861
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: I would say that it is my experience that I

862
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: have woken up with enough spiders on my face to

863
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: believe that I personally have eaten a number of spiders

864
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: in this very month alone. Probably how many times a

865
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: year do you wake up with spiders on your face?

866
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: It's a monthly occurrence. I would say, Oh, this is

867
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: absolutely Joel. This think something is up with you. You

868
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: are like you are like one with the spiders, like

869
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't like spider Man. Yeah no, wait, I'm not Actually,

870
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, and I actually am wondering

871
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: if you guys are like you've never You've literally never

872
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: woken up. I've promised you. I have never had a

873
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: spider on my face, Joel, look at me and listen.

874
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: Of course, I love to gaslight people, but right now

875
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gaslighting. I have never once had a spider

876
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: on my face that I've don't know, people right into

877
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: Stradio lab at gmail dot com. Yes, that is actually, um,

878
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: and tell me if you've ever woken up with a

879
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: spider on your face, because that is an experience that

880
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: I thought was I thought I was going to come

881
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: on the pot and you'd be like, yes, of course,

882
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: that experience that we all share. No. I mean, it's

883
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: so crazy because even I, as everyone knows, I'm in

884
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: the midst of a cockroach infestation. In fact, my way

885
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: of dealing with it is moving and um despite that,

886
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: I've never woken up with bugs except for that one

887
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: notable exception with bugs on my person. Spider. But you

888
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: know what, I don't actually know if New York is

889
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: a spider town. That's true, that's true. Like when was

890
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: the last time you even saw a spider? You know what?

891
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: That's I will agree with you there. I'm trying to

892
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: think of all the other various places I've lived if

893
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: I've ever woken up with a spider on my face.

894
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: I mean I lived in like a gross sort of

895
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: spidery basement when I was in college, and never once

896
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: so I wake up with a spider on my face.

897
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: Well that was in Michigan, right, Virginia. They're not They're

898
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: it's not the same type, you don't you? Is this river?

899
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: Are they just in l A? Are they all trying

900
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: to make it? I that that might actually be honestly possible,

901
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: because the thing is, I've never experienced spiders like I've

902
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: experienced spiders in l A. It's living next to the

903
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: river like I have, Well, they might be the river

904
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: and I wait, retently, walking through webs and I always

905
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: and always I'm contually walking through webs. This is like

906
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: a y a novel, like literally like Stranger Things, and

907
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: you're just walking through like sheets of webs. Well and

908
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: they're supposedly I found this out. You're not supposed to

909
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: clear away webs because the spiders eat their webs for

910
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: sustenance when they're not catching enough bugs. Which to that,

911
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: I say, not my problem. If you didn't get it,

912
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: if you didn't get it in the night before, like

913
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: you're supposed to spiders eating their own webs. Yeah, it's

914
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: that's very like you know, eating your own cup exactly,

915
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of like that. Okay. Also, I think you should

916
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: take take away the webs, because you know, it's sort

917
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: of like you want to motivate those spiders to not

918
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: just sort of depend on eating their web. You want

919
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: to say, hey, no, you can't have the safety net

920
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: get out there and eat bugs, well literal safety new

921
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: I will say. I will say that I am I'm

922
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: constantly screaming at them because a lot of the spiders

923
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: will choose web areas that are like near the ground,

924
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: and famously most of the bugs are in the sky,

925
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: and so I'm I say, what are you doing down there.

926
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: Of course you need to eat your own webs. And

927
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: I and I just it's so frustrating because they're not

928
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: the whole reason we're not killing the bugs the spiders

929
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: is because they're supposed to be killing these flying the

930
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: mosquitoes and the dangerous disnease carrying bugs and they're not

931
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: doing it because they're on the ground so base. There

932
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: are no bugs in my house too. That's the other thing.

933
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: What are they doing what they're doing in my house?

934
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they're lifestyle spiders. I mean, it's like, how you know,

935
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Not per creating, I don't know,

936
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: living our lives? That is true, that is true. We

937
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: are God's spiders. We are gods will endorsed spiders. Yeah,

938
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean all we do is eat our own We

939
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just like, here's the thing. If I

940
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: was like, if you knew a person, it's like, okay,

941
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: everyone else or like many people are having sex and

942
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: there was just one person and only ate his own Come,

943
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: it's not your place to judge him. That's just like

944
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: what he does. And these spiders don't catch but because

945
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: they just eat their own webs. But that's not what

946
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be doing. Wow, current problematic line of

947
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: reasoning is overshadowing my um my that you were. I

948
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: have this entire time in thinking how I can edit

949
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: out that part to make myself sound less like I

950
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: support Cuomo. I don't think there's a way to do it.

951
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: You literally said that Cynthia Nixon was too weak willed

952
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: to handle. I mean I didn't kind of say that,

953
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: and I don't have her own sexuality, but she can't

954
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: fight her way out of a pandemic Cynthia Nixon, Well,

955
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm really glad she's attached to the next Ryan Murphy project.

956
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: I'll say that she is. Yeah, she's thrown in the towel.

957
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: She's not going. There's already a trailer for it. Oh,

958
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: is it Nurse Ratchet or whatever something like that. Okay,

959
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: Nurse Ratchet. I don't think it's actually called Nurse Ratchet.

960
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: That's my latest single, Megan Stallion Nurse Wait, so you

961
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: have a heart out, So we need to do um

962
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: um our final segment. I forgot all about that, I know.

963
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: So we do a final segment um for the listeners

964
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: listening for the first time. I guess I'll explain it

965
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: to you because somebody left a review on our podcast

966
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: that said it's a little too inside baseball. Sometimes somebody

967
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: actually said that, you know, somebody did say that. There's

968
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: one review that said that, and I said, wait, I'm

969
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: blinging it up right now. Should be said, game, bitch,

970
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: that's why you're mad. Yeah, don't be fucking mad. Moved

971
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: to New York, dumb moved from an ault comedian. And

972
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: then if you listen to our podcast and you're not

973
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: an alt comedian in New York, we do not want

974
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: your business. This is a boutique podcast that is put

975
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: out by us and us alone. Not even Forever Dog

976
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: contame us. Oh there it is. First of all, the

977
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,479
Speaker 1: title of this review is beige, and then it says

978
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: flashes of wit. But it all seems like an inside

979
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: joke that I'm not privy to. I might be missing

980
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: some of some of nuances since I don't live in

981
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: New York though, mhmm. Here's what I will say. I

982
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: guarantee you that most people who live in New York

983
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: also are podcasts, also are not privy to some kind

984
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: of inside joke. I okay. To their credit, this podcast

985
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: is definitely an intermediate level podcast. Actually, I actually have

986
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: you listened to some of Have you listened to Karamo's podcast?

987
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: Come on, no, Joe, I have not listened to Karamo's podcast.

988
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: What do you I'm doing sitting around listening to the

989
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: damn Queer Eye guys podcasts. I've been saying that like

990
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: this podcast is infinitely better than like Chasen's podcast or

991
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: likely for instance, I would rather listen to this for

992
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: ten hours straight than listen to one episode of pod

993
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: Save Well, I would have to agree. Shots fired, you've heard. Wait,

994
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: we we have to we have to do um what's

995
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: our final segment called? Oh shout outs? That's right, shout

996
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: out and we give a shout out to something that

997
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: we like in the style. I just really take this

998

1001
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: which one it is, and once again I'm I personally

1002
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,919
Speaker 1: don't decide as I'm doing it, what what I'm trying

1003
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: to go for. I think it's open to interpretation, and

1004
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: I think George again it's good at it, but he

1015
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: have time to go through each of these doors. Every

1016
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: day I wake up and I go through each door

1017
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: and I say this one, maybe this one. If anything,

1018
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: there are too many options with me as for me

1019
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: as a young gay man in media, splash entertainment, and

1020

Speaker 1: I just want to give a quick shout out to

1023
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: toxic parance everywhere. Um. I just rode on an airplane,

1024
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: Yes it's allowed, who cares? Live it up? Yellow? And

1025
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: there was a parent behind me who was absolutely going

1026
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: off on the flight attendant. It was quite rude, and

1027
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why they were so mad, but they

1028
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,479
Speaker 1: kept condescending to her, and she was being really nice,

1029
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: and they kept saying, what's her last name, what's your

1030
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: last name? I'm gonna report you. I'm gonna report you.

1031
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: And it was like, literally, just make your kids sit

1032
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: and see. That's all she's asking me to do. And

1033
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: he wouldn't stop talking to her for the entire hour flight.

1034
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: And she was nice and she was funny, and her

1035
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: presentation was original, and I cared for this woman. And

1036
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: I tried to smile at her when I left and

1037
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: said thank you, but I was wearing my mask and

1038
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: so she couldn't see my smile. And I don't think

1039
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: my eyes are that expressive. And that is is the

1040
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: truth that I have to live with. I love you,

1041
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: by At, I hate you evil parents. It was your

1042
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: choice to have kids and no one else had them.

1043
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: By what a journey. Hey, guys, what's up? I just

1044
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: want to send out a quick shout out to my barber.

1045
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: He is back in business and his warped sense of

1046
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: celebrity as as I am one of his celebrity clients.

1047
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Along with his other celebrity clients. Zendeia's mom, the celebrity clients,

1048
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: me and Zendia's mom. I love him so much. I

1049
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: love the way he cuts my hair and constantly feels

1050
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: me on him Today's greatest conspiracy theories. I did not

1051
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,439
Speaker 1: know about the Wayfair one until I got my hair

1052
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: cut by my barber, and he is constantly, yes, constantly, constantly,

1053
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: constantly referring to them or they, and he refuses to

1054
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: elaborate on who they are. I love them, ray that

1055
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: he makes me feel uncomfortable, but I cannot find anyone

1056
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: else to cut Asian hair, so I keep going back,

1057
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: even though he is much better than my last barber,

1058
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: who would constantly show me right porn on his phone

1059
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: while he was gutting my hair. And then I finally

1060
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: came out to him after a year and he just

1061
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: started showing me weirder porn, not showing me more at all.

1062
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: So in that way, Mr Barber, even though he does

1063
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: believe that children are being trafficked through Wayfair cabinets, is

1064
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: much better than my last barber, and I love him

1065
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: and I just want to say thank you. Wait, I

1066
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't know that Wayfair thing. You didn't know that it's

1067
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: a classic. Apparently, um the name of Wayfair cabinets aligns

1068
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: with the names of missing girls, and if you order

1069
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: a specific Wayfair cabinet, you're ordering that missing girl. I

1070
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: think I explained that correctly, but I mean, like third

1071
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: hand through my barber, who is not I don't know.

1072
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: He clearly doesn't understand what's happening. So I'm not sure

1073
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: why you will look into this well and enjold to

1074
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: your to your former barber. I just say, I feel

1075
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: like all barbers are straight and currently horny. They I've

1076
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: never had showing men. It's not authentic. He he. He

1077
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: literally went from just showing me like what he jerked

1078
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: off to the night before, to showing me like weird

1079
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: check like not checked fantasy, but like check like guys

1080
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: painting with their dicks and oh yeah, I've gone down

1081
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: that rabbit hole. Well that seems pretty inclusive. Yeah, I

1082
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: mean he was trying, he was doing his best. Yeah,

1083
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: and the ally of the week goes to Joel's former barber. Um. So, Joel,

1084
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: I guess thank you for doing the pod. Incredible montime

1085
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: coming um first time long time. I'm really excited to

01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: see you know where you guys land with this US too,

1087
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And we have been kind of crash landing for a

1088
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: few months now, and I could that way to see

1089
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: where the final destination is, hopefully the Forever Dog Offices.

1090
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Maybe your Wolf you know, Headgun? Oh sure, why not?

1091

Speaker 1: Why not? I say all of them, All of them

1092
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: are possibilities, and I can't say anymore, Honey, as long

1093
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: as I can buy a brown Stone at the end

1094
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: of this, I'm set. What if we Oh my god, Sam,

1095
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: imagine if we can't buy a brown Store from Brown Store,

1096
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: a brown Store from our podcast money. That would be

1097
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,959
Speaker 1: really sad. I I've been told by many, many people

1098
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: that I will be able to buy a brown Stone

1099
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: at the end of this. I need to buy a

1100
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: brown Store, which is a store where I sell only

1101
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: objects that are shades of brown. And I think you can, okay,
