1
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: Podcast starts now. Okay, wow um, Hello, Hello and and

2
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: high and welcome to Stradio Lab. And if I may

3
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: be so bold, Happy New Year. And if I can,

4
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, speak out of turn, you'll forgive me. I

5
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: want to say Happy New Year as well. And if

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: I could just butt in here and interrupt and circle

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: back and Happy New Year? Do you mind if I

8
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: cut in? Uh? And I was actually gonna say, I

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: was actually gonna give you the floor afterwards. Oh well

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: that's great because I'm sorry for cutting in before you

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: offered me the floor, but the floor is now mine

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: and I'm using my power as a speaker to say

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. And before we adjourn, I just wanted

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: to say Happy New Year. You know what, that was

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: an incredible sound effect, George. I just have to give

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: a big shout out to that, because we don't get

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: many sound effects on this pod. No, no, we don't

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: have the budget for it. And and so you're sort

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: of d I y ng it and saying, you know what,

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: we don't need the budget. I'll do it my damn self. Well,

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: we already used all our budget to um auto tune

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: our voices. We normally sound much worse our voices. Well,

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: what's crazy is our voices are extremely deep. It's like

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: it was like too erotic and sexy, so well we

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: gave them. We use this special gayifying technology we normally

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: found kind of like sports casters. Yeah, you know, it's

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: very you know, well, it's actually very jarring because we'll

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: be talking about very kind of like silly gay things,

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: but then our voices will be like are you a

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: top war bottom? Yeah, it'll be like did you watch

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the Britney Spears documentary? Right? And so you know, our test,

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: our test audience has found that really really jarring and

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: was it was strange. So the network spend all our

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: budget on the auto tuning and I love it. I mean,

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: it's it's really been incredible. It's interesting though, because now

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: so many I meet so many people who are fans

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: of the podcast, and they expect expect me to have

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: this voice. So I have now invested in extensive vocal

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: training and speech therapy so that I can train myself

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: to actually sound like this in my normal life. Wow,

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: that must be so traumatizing for you. Yeah, well, you know,

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I also want to bring up, George, how are you

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: meeting all these fans of the podcast? I mean I

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: thought we were all supposed to be inside right now. No, no, no,

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't count for podcaster fan meetups. Oh okay signing

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: autographs and stuff. Yeah yeah, well or um, people love

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: it when I, you know, I kind of put lipstick

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: on and then I'll give him a smooch and then

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: that's and then they'll have like my lip print, George.

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: You know, I just feel that that's really not like

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: safe right now, Like that's a really horrible idea. Why oh,

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: because it's cold season, bitch. Okay, you got me there. Okay, seriously,

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: what is your favorite part of cold season? Don't lie? Um,

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: you know what. My favorite part of cold season is

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: having your pod where you all know you're gonna get

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: a cold, and then having a kind of nice get

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: together where you share one giant pot of hot toddy

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: and you watch um the holiday. That's one of my

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: favorite cold season traditions. One of my favorite cold season

60
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: traditions is sharing a giant mug of a hot drink

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: with all your friends that also have a cold. I mean,

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: that's how the girl is really bond. That's just how

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: a crew is formed. If you're not sharing a drink,

64
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: you're just strangers in my book. Oh my god, we're

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: having sound issues again. And you know what I'll say

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: it it's my mic. And you know what, I just

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: want to say, I'm tired of being stigmatized for causing

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: audio issues. I think we need to there needs to

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: be a conversation in the queer community about destigmatizing having

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: a malfunctioning microphone when you're recording a podcast about straight culture.

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Here's what I will say, George, is the you know,

72
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: while yes, the stigma is real, people assume gay men

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: will have mic issues and also have uh dealt with

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: this before and have not made any changes to your

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: mic set up. You know, at some point you have

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: to stop blaming society and start And I didn't really

77
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: expect the language of personal responsibility to come from you say,

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: after we've for so long analyzed I mean, a big

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: theme of this podcast is um is, you know, the

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: pitfalls of personal responsibility rhetoric and how we need to

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: talk about things like, for instance, microphone malfunction is as

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: a systemic um issue, that is, if anything worsened by

83
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: our crumbling social infrastructure. So the idea that you would

84
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: point to me, you would point to me and you

85
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: would say that faggot over there, his mic doesn't work.

86
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: It just seems um not and keep with the spirit

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: of the podcast. And you know what, George, I think

88
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: you're so right. And I really fell into a trap

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: right there. And you know, I think that's such a

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: good lesson that even I, you know, someone who's so

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: socially aware and like just generally very smart, can sort

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: of blame the individual when clearly it is the government

93
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: that is not providing Mike's too gay podcasters and that

94
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: is causing this issue. Well, you know, the UM stimulus

95
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: package didn't include Mike. It only included Mike's first straight podcasters.

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: That's so much up. That's so dark, George. I've got

97
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: an idea. What what if you go undercover using your

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: real voice and pretend to be straight. Therefore you will

99
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: get your microphone in the stimulus We'll see. And this

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: is where we get to the central tension of this podcast,

101
00:05:52,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: which is the balance between ah blaming systemic forces for

102
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the plight of queer individuals, especially gay white men, and

103
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: the necessity to live out loud as your authentic self.

104
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: So on the one hand, you could live quietly and

105
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: and have audio issues. By necessity, it would be quiet.

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't hear me, but you'd be silencing

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: yourself if you pretended to be straight in order to

108
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: get a better mindy. Well, once again though, but once against,

109
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: but once again, stop telling at me. I would not

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: be telling myself. I would be silenced by the forces

111
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: that are not giving me a better microphone. Idea that

112
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: I am silencing myself because I have a microphone that

113
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: doesn't work is extremely problematic. No, it's not problematic. It's

114
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: a fact, George, Like you need to grow up and

115
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: like starting to take some ownership of the fact that

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: you don't own a microphone that works. How can I

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: take ownership of the fact that I don't own something.

118
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: It seems like a logical fallacy to me. Well, it's

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: actually not. It's not a logical fallacy. It's a logical

120
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: truiscy a logical truisty. Yeah, especially haven't heard that one

121
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: before in your litt books. That was not in what

122
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: I did not take that logic class. Yeah, go back

123
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: to the drawing board. He hit the library because you've

124
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: got a couple more words to learn, bitch. Well, now

125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: that we've gotten that out, of the way. Yeah, is

126
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: it time to bringing our guests? Fine? Sure? Are you

127
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: mad in the mood for it? Are you gonna be

128
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: mad this whole podcast? No, but I am planning on

129
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: gas lighting our guests into being on my side. You wouldn't, dare?

130
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Well,

131
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait any longer. Let's introduce him. Please, welcome

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: to the stage. Um Cola Scola. Hi, Hey here, hey Cole,

133
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: thanks for coming over. Oh wasn't Sam being fucking weird

134
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: during that intro? Oh I just got here? Oh no,

135
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm okay. Well I wasn't. Yeah, Well he didn't hear

136
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: any of that. What's wrong with your mind? Fuck? There's

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: something wrong with it. It's making a weird thing. Yeah, yeah, no,

138
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: it's Um. The important thing to know is that I

139
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: it's not my fault. How come, well, Cole um as

140
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: a queer youth, I have overcome so much to go

141
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: from being a youth to being a podcaster, and so

142
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: I can't be held accountable for my mic not working.

143
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: It's just interesting because Sam and I our Mike's work. Right,

144
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: It is interesting, And I would even argue Coal is

145
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: not even a podcaster. And yet yeah, huh, not even

146
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: a podcaster? Yeah, and yet you're a podcast Wow? Okay,

147
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: yeah cool? How many podcast appearances do you think it

148
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: takes to become a podcast? Or I think you have

149
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: to host one? I think I've I'm being podcasted right now.

150
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I would not internalized self hatred you are expressing. Really,

151
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean to be so to be just willingly adopting

152
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: this passive role you're being podcasted? Are you not in

153
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: control of what you're saying in this podcast? Oh? I'm sorry? Wait?

154
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that anyone passive is not giving consent?

155
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: How do you do your work? No? No, you're you're

156
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: pretting words in my mouth. I did not I to

157
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: to say that you are being podcasts. The world you

158
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: are when you are fully in control of your actions,

159
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: is creating this narrative of um, of a victimhood in

160
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: your head then, which only serves too then um for

161
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: you to yourself to skirt accountability for the consequence of

162
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: your actions, meaning producing a podcast. Wait, how do you wait?

163
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Where did you stand with Alex Morrise? Just because you're

164
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: you're Like, if I were to say, oh, I'm being

165
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: fucked right now? Does that? Does that insinuate that I

166
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: have no agency or just you are but you are

167
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: as you're being fucked, you are having sex, are you not?

168
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: You are a sexual being? And you are you are,

169
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not a I'm not a fucker. I'm being fucked.

170
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I think you I'm not a podcast. I'm being po

171
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: I think you are still a fucker when you're being fucked.

172
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: You're still a fucker when you are even if you're

173
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: being fucked. I really disagree here, expand on there's the

174
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: fucker and there's the fucked, and you are either one

175
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: or the other. And sex is topping and bottoming and

176
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: that's it. And so do you think by being a

177
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: guest on someone podcast you are at the bottom, because

178
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: that also seems wildly absolutely huh? You keeople listening to

179
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: tell the difference between our voices? Um, yeah, yeah, I

180
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: mean I can yeah, And that's yeah. And and there's

181
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,119
Speaker 1: no one else listening. We haven't released it yet, cool right, right?

182
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, well you know, maybe I'm just worried. What

183
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: are you worried about? Oh? Just well, George's um politics

184
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: and us all sounding the same, and George's mike, it's

185
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: making that sound again. I do want to say, we

186
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: haven't actually pinned down that it's my mic I think

187
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: you are rightly taking them blame. I decided to kind

188
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: of take the blame, thinking that then other people would

189
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: be like, no, it might be mine, and then everyone

190
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: accepted that it was mine. But we have not actually

191
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: fact checked that. And to me, Um, I don't know

192
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: I care about the truth. I guess well, oh, I

193
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: guess if you cared about it, you would have said,

194
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: who's Mike? Is that not? It's mine? Yeah? Right, Well

195
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: that's another productive tension, is caring about the truth but

196
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: wanting to take the blame because I'm kind of a

197
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: martyr figure. Well, George, you need to be direct, you know,

198
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: if you want to get um real answers to your questions.

199
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Because these games, I'm I'm not really here for all.

200
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna I don't want to spe

201
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: for Cold. I don't think he's here for the games.

202
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: I just want to say, right now, it feels like

203
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm the one being podcasted. Huh interesting? Would you see

204
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: your verse? No, I I would say, you're gas lighting?

205
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah great. So how's your new year going? Okay? Uh,

206
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: so far it's very uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable right now. Yeah, okay,

207
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: if you could have If if you could um control

208
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: me and Sam right now and control this entire experience,

209
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: what would you have us do to make you more comfortable?

210
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: I I would have you go to Best Buy and

211
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: get a new Mike, go to Best Buy in person. Well, yeah,

212
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: you can order it online for pickup, but you would

213
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: want me to stop this recording. Order one for pickup,

214
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: reschedule another day for you to hop on a zoom

215
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: and then no no, then Sam and I could just

216
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: do the podcast and then you could do whatever your

217
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: next episode for the future. So, just to recap, you

218
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: would want me to leave this conversation. You're you asked

219
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: me my opinion, you asked okay, So I don't know.

220
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: You're getting an answer you don't like, and now you're

221
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: trying to force me into giving you an answer you

222
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: do like. I don't know. I'm confused here. Well, tensions

223
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: are high here on the podcast. Um yeah yeah, well

224
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: and best guy, I don't think it's open for much longer.

225
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: M h so yeah wow. Um, well are you crying, George?

226
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: I know I'm not crying. I just I mean, I've

227
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: really we've been wanting to have you on the podcast

228
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: for a really long time. I mean, we we both

229
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: really like you and think you're really great, and I

230
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: all I wanted was for the government to send me

231
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: and you Mike before we started recording, so it wouldn't

232
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: be on me too, you know, make or break this episode.

233
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. And I don't know, it just it feels

234
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: like um to already be coming in at a disadvantage

235
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and then be completely blindsided by this animosity from you

236
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: is just not what I expected tonight. This podcast was

237
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be about me. You guys are supposed to

238
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: be here for me, and I come in and automatically

239
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: it's you're trying to pit me against Sam. You're trying

240
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: to pit Sam against me, You're trying to um pick

241
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: yourself against your mic, You're trying to you're you're you're

242
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: trying to confuse me about consent. I just think that

243
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: like going forward, going forward, like tonight was supposed to

244
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: be about me, and you know what, Yeah, I just

245
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: want to hop in and say, George, I'm so so

246
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: embarrassed at how you're acting, Like, you know, like we

247
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: really really wanted to have a coal on the podcast

248
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: and like, you know, we've been looking forward to this episode,

249
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and like this is supposed to be kind of a

250
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: huge blockbuster style episode, like sort of like a Marvel

251
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: movie of an episode. And it's like you came in

252
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: here with like this like really like amateurish energy and

253
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: like obviously the broken microphone and like putting us all

254
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: against each other, and it's just like sort of like

255
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: you're afraid of success, and I sort of feel like

256
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: you're trying to bring me down with you. Well, here's

257
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: what I'll say. I just want to say, I recognize Cole.

258
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: I know you've been preparing physically, much like Camille Johnny

259
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: for this episode for months, and you're actually, um, I'm

260
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: looking at you now. You are I mean, veins are

261
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: popping out of you from every which way because you've

262
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: been working out. But yeah, right, because you've been working

263
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: out NonStop. Um, because you knew this was you know,

264
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: this kind of a big deal and and and we

265
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: are really framing this as kind of a centerpiece of

266
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: um this the post Glamour magazine, the post Glamour magazine

267
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: era of the of the podcast, and um, and so

268
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: I recognize that. I will say, in my defense, I

269
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: thought that to bring you in with the uh introducing

270
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: the bit that I am trying to turn you against Sam.

271
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: I thought that would be such a rich place to

272
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: start in terms of creating a narrative for the episode.

273
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: To me, I was really planned to get see that

274
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: I thought would turn into something bigger, and I did

275
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: not expect it to blow up in my face as

276
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: much as it did. Well, you have to understand that

277
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: I for me, it's my business first, um, and my

278
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: business is my personality and who I am. And so

279
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: when you or anyone for that matter, and I'll say this,

280
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not pointing fingers anymore. If anyone tries

281
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: to create a narrative about me, that's my brand, that's

282
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: that's like my business that affects income, you're then messing

283
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: with my income. And so I have to do whatever

284
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: I can in my power to gain that narrative back.

285
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: And your Mike is still messing up a little bit,

286
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: just a little bit. It's not as bad as before.

287
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: It really isn't as bad as before. I will give

288
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: you that right and and listen, I I'm not saying

289
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: you're a cloud chasing social climber, but what I am

290
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: saying is you know, coming in, you made the very

291
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: specific distinction that you wanted to side with Sam and

292
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: not me. Maybe because um of Sam's recent viral tweets. Well,

293
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's because I'm right, Like maybe like maybe

294
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Cole just sees like who's right and who's wrong? Like

295
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: maybe more maybe industry works. Maybe Cole has like a

296
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: moral compass and like you know, cares about I don't know,

297
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: good and evil. Huh. Interesting. I guess normally when I

298
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: hear the words my brand and my personal narrative, moral

299
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: compass isn't the phrase that comes to mind. I think

300
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: having a brand is one of the most morally pure

301
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: things you can do to sort of create a cultural

302
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: personality and then use that to sell products to people

303
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: that look up to you. I think that's christ Like honestly, like,

304
00:18:54,400 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: that's literally literally promote something like I have to actually

305
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: like it myself. That's moving, Like, that's so awesome. Okay,

306
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: well what you're doing so we can we can we

307
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: can transition into you promoting the product you came here

308
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: to promote. Yeah, it's um ice water. Also tell us

309
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: more so, it's just water with ice. Well, yeah, you're

310
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: being a little dismissive just water with us. Maybe let

311
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: him describe what it because that's what people. It's just

312
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: water and just ice. Because if you look at the

313
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: ingredients of ice water, if you go to a restaurant,

314
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: there's a reason they don't give the nutrition facts on

315
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: what's in that water because you don't know what's in it.

316
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: That water sits there in the kitchen, not in a freezer.

317
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: The ice is not really frozen. It's just like you

318
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: do not know what ice is not really frozen, right,

319
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: it's because it's not really ice. You don't know what

320
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: you're getting. There's no nutrition information. So this is ice water.

321
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: It says on the back exactly what it is. Just ice,

322
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: just water, so you know what you're getting of the time.

323
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: That sounds so awesome. Um, I'm kind of like a

Speaker 1: You know, you you're obviously here to promote it's a

397
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: hundred a month, a month, and how many waters does

Speaker 1: It takes two weeks. Yeah, it takes like two weeks

400
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: or like ten days to you know, two business weeks

401
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: to like ship everything. So each time yeah, so so

402
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just to clarify, each time you want a

403
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: glass of water, you then have to wait two weeks

404
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: for it to arrive. Will you wait two weeks for

405
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: the ice and then when the ice is made, then

406
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: you click your ready for the water, and then you

407
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: wait two more weeks for the water. Yeah, thank you, Sam, Georgie,

408
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: are you listening all? So So, so if a month

409
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: roughly a month roughly has its usually about six or sevens.

410
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: So let's say let's say a month is usually six

411
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: or seven weeks, right, you ask for the water away

412
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: two weeks, asked for the ice way two weeks. That's

413
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: four weeks right there. So basically, if you added up

414
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: as many times as you want, and it's a hundred

415
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: dollars per month, right, as many times as you want,

416
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: but each time it takes four weeks in total for

417
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: a glass of ice water. M yeah, because you know

418
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: what you're getting it's just water and just ice so

419
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: so I so, on average, you're getting one and a

420
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: half glasses of ice water and you pay a hundred

421
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: dollars for it. Well, you can get more a month. Yeah,

422
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: it's for a whole month. I know, it's for the

423
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: whole month. You only pay only it's one time payment

424
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: per month. No, but with the shipping delays, I'm saying

425
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: you only get a total of like a glass and

426
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: a half at most. Well, how thirsty are you? Right? Yeah,

427
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: like you should be like drink all of it, Like,

428
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: don't just drink half of it and throw it away, Like,

429
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: drink all of the water. It's a big cup. It's

430
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: one of those bigger cups, one of the bigger sam

431
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: whose side are you on? I'm sorry, I'm I'm guess

432
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: is always right. I thought we were all on this side.

433
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: I thought we'd sort of resolved the issues, you know what,

434
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's my combative side coming out

435
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: and I and I apologize. It's just, you know, it's fear.

436
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: I grew up. It is you know what it is.

437
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: It is fear because I have my own way of

438
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: doing things when it comes to ice water. Well, we

439
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: all do that's what we like. We grow up like

440
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: learning like, oh it's okay. Just whatever they have is fine.

441
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: We don't know what's and we don't know who they are.

442
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: We don't know who they are. We don't know how

443
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: long it's been there? Right, well, even if you take

444
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: it right out of the faucet, how long has it

445
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: been sitting in that? Far? Said exactly, I've always said that. Yeah, wow, yeah, well,

460
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if that was stinted. You know, I had

461
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: these questions that I wrote down that I had to

462
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: ask because it's you know, it's an entire segment dedicated

463
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: to the product um And just to clear, is the

464
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: product itself called just water? No, it's no, no, no,

465
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: no, no no, that's those are the buttons in the app.

466
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh two more buttons. Okay, yeah, because it's ice water,

467
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: it's just called it's ice water. It's called it's ice water. No, no, no,

468
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: ice water. You've seen the like I don't know if

469
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: you guys are taking the train, but like the ads

470
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: are everywhere. Oh yeah, I haven't been on the train,

471
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: so I guess I haven't seen it. Yeah, well that

472
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: sounds awesome. I've always been looking for a new way

473
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: to do my water. I've always I've actually I don't

474
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: really trust a lot of the um current bigger water

475
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: for ice water. So I haven't had water in seven years. Yeah,

476
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: because there's a reason there's no ice and bottled water

477
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: because you don't know where it's coming from. You don't

478
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: know where it's coming from. And the companies, because in

479
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: bottled do they have to put ingredients. They're not going

480
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: to put the ice in there because they know they

481
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: can't get away with it. Yeah, these bigger, these big companies,

482
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, and they have they pay millions of dollars

483
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: to lobbyists because they're trying to change the laws. Now

484
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: we can put whatever we want in water. So they

485
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: want to put whatever they want in a bottle of water. Yeah,

486
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: they want to put like stuff that it makes you

487
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: think it's ice, so kind of plastics and saran wrap,

488
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: put glass, potentially glass. So if the water companies had

489
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: their way, you would if the water companies had it

490
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: their way, you would go to a store maybe if

491
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: you're in New York City of Bodega, and you would

492
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: get a bottle of water and it would be just

493
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: chalk full of waste really from I mean, even if

494
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: water companies had it their way, they would bend you

495
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: over and raw dog you without your being caught, and

496
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: they would call it water. They'd be like, that'll be

497
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: one sevent Yeah. Yeah, the water industry is one of

498
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: the most ruthless industries out there. I'm so glad they're

499
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: being disrupted by this. Um Yeah, thank you, well, well,

500
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: good for you, thank you. It was good to see

501
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: you guys. Well cool, Actually, this has been an awesome conversation.

502
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to stick around and maybe do the

503
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: rest of the pot with us? Sure? Yeah, I'm Kane.

504
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: Wow that really felt so real. Um okay, let's do

505
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: the first segment. Um, George, you explain it. Yeah, I'll

506
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: explain it. But I I do I have to say

507
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: quote um, and I hate to say this, but this

508
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: product you're pitching, it really has asked more questions than

509
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: it has answered for me, and I do want to

510
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: go back to it later on, but but I do

511
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: think we should take a break, maybe do some entertaining

512
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: segments to keep the audience engaged. They're probably um freaked

513
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: out right now that they've been, they've probably And you

519
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: right now. Um. Okay, so let's start. First of all,

520
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: the first segment on this podcast is called straight Shooters,

521
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: and in it, we assess your familiarity with straight culture

522
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: by asking a series of rapid fire questions. Um. Unfortunately

523
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: that sounds incomplete as a as a description of the game.

524
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: But the one rule is that you can't ask any

525
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: follow up questions. Are you ready? Okay? Yes, okay? Ring

526
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: light or ring worm, ringworm? Okay? My neck, my back,

Speaker 1: my pussy, my crack or spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch spectacles,

528
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: testicles wallet watch Cool, Identity politics or Identity Thiefs starring

529
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. Oh fuck identity and I'm

530
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: trying to wait, I'm trying to guess which one. This

531
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: sounds a lot like a follow up question if you'd

532
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: refer back to the beginning. We we really clearly said

533
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: no questions about let me look at the beginning. Can

534
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: you guys go back zoom back in it so I

535
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: can hear the rules again? Um? Sure, yeah, we can

536
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: rewind cool. The way this game works is that we're

537
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: going to ask a series of rapid fire questions to

538
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: gauge your committed the thirsty hold on, George, I think

539
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: you have to fast forward a little. I think we

540
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: would be rewound too much. God, Sorry, this is so

541
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the government. I'm sorry. I fast forwarded too much. Wait,

542
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: let me rewind again. Okay, yeah, I think you're in

543
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: the right place now, okay, so cool. The way that

544
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: our first segments Straight Shooters works is that we are

545
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: going to ask you a series of rapid fire questions

546
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: to gauge your familiarity with straight culture. The questions are

547
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: going to be of the form A or B and

548
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: you have to pick one. But the one rule is

549
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: you can't ask any follow up questions about how it works. Okay,

550
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready, Okay, fast forward a little more. Okay, all right, Okay,

551
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: I got it. So I can't ask any questions exactly

552
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: identity politics or identity Thiefs starring Jason Bateman and North McCarthy.

553

555
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: and if you know the answer, if it were a question,

556
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that sounds exactly like what we told you

557
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: to do. Call. You have a huge problem with authority

558
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: and that is really coming out now, Well, this isn't

559
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: the just water offices were in charge here? Ice water,

560
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: um a Hunter Gatherer, Cole Awards season or sir, that's

561
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: treason sir, that's treason. Okay, cool being brain dead or

Speaker 1: or athletes foot. But that's three correct? I. I mean

564
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: you can scroll back to the beginning, but you don't have.

565
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,479
Speaker 1: You did say it was A and B. You said

566
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: it was aplies the existence, that's it, I think, and

567
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: C implies the existence of being, but not necessarily. Sometimes

568
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: we because there doesn't SMEs, we do three options. Okay, well,

569
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: then maybe next time you described the game to someone

570
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: just keep it in mind. Sure, um, but I would

571
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: do them. I would get a new mic first before

572
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: doing right right right. So I guess I'll go with B.

573
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the sexy Back, very Cole um

574
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Alt Indie or just plain weird, just plain weird. Well

575
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: that was the game. I here's what I will say about, UM,

576
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: what's going on? UM? I feel genuine stress. M I

577
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: think at first it was sort of playful. It was

578
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, fake fight, fake fight, fake fight. UM, and

579
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: now I feel you know that thing where you are

580
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: mean to someone as a joke for too long and

581
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: then you forget how to Then you like start to

582
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: feel like you're like wait now, it's real, right, I agree,

583
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: I feel very tight. I feel like um Cold is

584
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: someone I have a ton of respect for and as

585
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: someone who has always been very kind to me, and

586
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 1: ever since he joined this zoom, all I have done

587
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: is um kind of called him names and question his

588
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: product ice water. Yeah. I feel that way too. Well,

589
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe we can right right, maybe we can just kind

590
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: of take a cleansing breath. I don't want to know.

591
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Well yeah, sorry, just like wrong for right now? Sure,

592
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: so where what do you think? You know, let's say

593
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: you were in charge of let's say you were the

594
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: podcast rather than the podcast did what how would you proceed? Um?

595
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: I would just go with what's next? Sure? Sure, yeah,

596
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: that's a really good uh response. Um, yeah, so you

597
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: know sort of typically um, right now we might get

598
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: into the topic. That's an option. You know, typically we

599
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: don't get into it immediately after the game. We sort

600
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: of uh, okay, so well normally, you know, and this

601
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: isn't meant to be a sort of a judg a

602
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: judgment or an attack. Um, and so please don't get defensive. Um.

603
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: Normally sort of a riff is flowing naturally around now

604
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: it's sort of um, we're not asking, um, what do

605
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: we do next? We just are doing if that makes

606
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: any sense, right, It would normally be blowing. Normally I

607
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: would kind of be able to move my arm past

608
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: my shoulders rather than being so tense that I'm actually

609
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: shaking from um from horror and anxiety. You're crying again, Well, no,

610
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm not crying. I just I just feel like I

611
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: tried so hard to like to to to get past

612
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: this moment that we had a couple of minutes ago,

613
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: and I feel like we were in a good place

614
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: and now we're just bringing it back there again. And

615
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: it's like this supupposed to be the Grand Block Moost

616
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: episode and like not even that. Like the investors are

Speaker 1: all here today and like like this is like they're

618
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: all literally watching live in the zoom and like like

619
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: they're like huge investors from like some of the top firms,

620
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: and it's like this is like one of the most

621
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: like hurtful and embarrassing things. And it's like I know

622
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: that you got upset because we were like sort of

623
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: messing with your income, but right now, like you're messing

624
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: with our income. Like like the investors are literally in

625
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: the zoom and it's like this is our livelihood? Like

626
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: I literally already put down a down payment on a home,

627
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: and it's like like because I was like, well, obviously

628
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: this episode is gonna be a smash, and it's like

629
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not maybe the maybe the investors are all

630
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: going to back out. Mm hmm. I guess I'm confused

631
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: as what the problem is. Like, I like, I'm having

632
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: a really good time. I thought we were all having

633

Speaker 1: a really good time, Like I, yeah, I just want

634
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: to kind of keep having fun or something. Yeah, I

635
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: cannot help but feel like you're maybe not being honest

636
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: with your emotions. Um, you say you're having fun and

637
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: you're in a good mood. You know, I have not

00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: someone who's having a good time. Yeah yeah, Well no,

Speaker 1: I'm gonna do after this, Like I feel fine, Like

645
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: I don't need to keep checking in, like we just

646
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: need to get through this, Okay, I see what's happening.

647
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: You just kind of want to steamroll through, like this

648
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: is something that you're doing just you just want to

00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: Of course that I didn't I thought that was like

653
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, I thought it was clear.

654
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: Now that's out in the open, I can I really

655
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: am just feeling so relaxed and I can breathe so

656
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: more easily. I mean, we ever want from our guests

657
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: is for them to say, let's get this over with.

658
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't care about this. Mm hmm. We consider do

659
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: you want do you need to say that explicitly? Like

660
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: IM definitely complicitly. It works for now. I mean, this

661
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: is something him and I disagree on. I kind of

662
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: need explicit markers to know where I am with any

663
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: person at any given time, Otherwise I get really really

664
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: anxious and then I keep checking in. Is that why

665
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: you don't have anything on your walls? Do you think?

666
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: And here we go, So for the listeners that are home.

667
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: George has lived in his apartment for two months now

668
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: and three months now and the walls are completely bare.

669
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: Um I see them. I see the what's it called

670
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: the breaker box, which is a really sad thing when

671
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the only thing on the wall is like the breaker box. Yes, no,

672
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: it's um, I it's not. I think to me, there's

673
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: something about moving during all of this that because it's

674
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: not real life yet, I can't uh allow myself to

675
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: pretend it is. It feels forced and it feels artificial.

676
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: But I would argue opposite this window. Yeah, I want

677
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: to be argue that. Sam's arguing again, Well, it's true,

678
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: like you know, like now you're spending more time at

679
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: home than ever, Like I feel like now is the

680
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: time to sort of focus on the domestic and uh

681
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: not looking at you know. Yeah, So once again we're

682
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: back to the language of personal responsibility. I am in

683
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: charge of decorating my own apartment. Who do you expect it?

684
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I listen. During the New Deal, people,

685
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: the government hired interior decorators that went around to the

686
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: homes of the middle class and and put that right

687
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: and put kind of frame prints of Audrey Hepburn and

688
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: Breakfat the Tiffany's. That's how we got the first gay immigrants,

689
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: Like there were no gay people in America until FDR

690
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: was like every okay, like someone needs to let go

691
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: and like like fucking give these people something to live. Like.

692
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: This is why it's so frustrating when we have this

693
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: kind of neoliberal discoursive around gay politics, because gay people

694
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: were created for a government program. I mean, the roots

695
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: of it are socialists. It's that FDR took you know, forcibly,

696
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: took gay people from their families and other parts of

697
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: the world, brought them to America and then sent them

698
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: to the homes of of of families that needed interior decor.

699
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: But to be fair, it is kind of like um,

700
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: when you bring like a new species to a new environment,

701
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: you think you can control it. And I think that's

702
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: what homophobia was for um, sort of keep the numbers healthy.

703
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: But now the numbers are just skyrocketing. And and so

704
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: I it's tough. What do we do English ivy exactly. Yes, No,

705
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: gay people are very much like English ivy mm hm.

706
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: And so it begs a question, you know, was homophobia

707
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: kind of a necessary evil to contain them? Mm hmm.

708
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, thank you for saying that. I didn't want

709
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: to be the one to say it. Yeah, um, yeah,

710
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: you know. I think now, actually it would be a

711
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: natural time to bring up our topic. Um Cole, you

712
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: came to us today. I think people will be surprised

713
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: to hear you were unconfident. Your shoulders were slouched. You

714
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: were sort of looking at the ground shuffling. You have

715
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: narrow shoulders. They weren't really slouched. They have narrow shoulders.

716
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: I've seen you stand up tall and confident, and I

717
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: know when you're slouching. Okay, and you were shy about

718
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: this topic, and I want you to how the world

719
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: now what it is? Well. One of the most fascinating

720
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: aspects of straight culture to me is the concept of

721
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: um and and the word cheating, cheating, cheating, cheating, How

722
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: would you define that? Like, he cheated on me, so

723
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: we're over, you see, So cheating on someone, Yeah, immediately

724
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: created parodynamic wherein one person is a cheater and one

725
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: person is a cheated and he cheated on me, so

726

729
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: in a monogamous relationship, like the idea of like it's

730
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: it's almost like I Harry Potter plot. Yeah, I've never

Speaker 1: go boling, that's cheating. That's cheating, cheating, and once a cheater,

756
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: always a cheater. I've always said that cheaters will just

757
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: they will find a way to cheat. Now because I've

758
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: noticed any of your example, as you use men cheating

759
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: as the as the animating force, I think women can cheat. No, yeah,

760
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that happening. I've never know. And

761
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: when women cheating, I often I often think that's um,

762
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, why are you trying to be

763
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: like a man. It's kind of anti exactly, it's kind

764
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: of self hating. It's very I really and and you know,

765
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: I try to support women when I'm being recorded, but

766
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: I it seems to me like why are you trying

767
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: like just be a woman? M Yeah, cheating. That doesn't

768
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: have to do with being unfaithful. Cheating just kind of

769
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: on a quiz or on a test or even on

770
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: the S A T S. That's fine too. I think

771
00:47:53,360 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: that's actually I think that is yeah, because tests are right.

772
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: I think I didn't want to say the B word,

773
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: but tests are bad. Cheating on a test, to mey

774
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: is gay, but cheating on a on a partner is straight. Yeah,

775
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: to each their own right. I'm not here to judge

776
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: people for being monogamous, but I just know for me,

777
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: when I am attracted to someone else that it doesn't

778
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: take away from my attraction to my partner, or if

779
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: I like, even if I have feelings for someone else,

780
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't take away from my feelings for my partner.

781
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: For me, when my partner sleeps with someone else, do

782
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: I get insanely jealous and insecure and want to like

783
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: um clawed my eyes out? Yes? Absolutely, And I also

784
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: know that that's me. That's my insecurity and it has

785
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: nothing to do with yes. Yes, And for me, it's

786
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: like if I like someone and then go on a

787
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: few dates with them and I had to be an

788
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm an argous relationship with them and then move in

789
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: together and maybe get engaged, that's not cheating on my partner,

790
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: right right, right, right? Wait, And we need to it's

791
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: very all of this is very rooted in heater a patriarchy,

792
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: like I should be able to, um, be in multiple

793
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: monogamous relationships wherein I'm engaged at the same time and

794
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: in fact, at any given time be uh the subject

795
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: of multiple vows columns in the Times. I think you

796
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: should wait. I remember reading about you written many times,

797
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: but only implicitly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know seriously, Like

798
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't really count as cheating if you're only engaged

799
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: like until the ring is on the where like it's

800
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: not even cheating. Seriously. Sure, well, but I have married

801
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: many of these men. Oh well, then you're a cheater

802
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: and a liar. Huh wow, you know, I do think

803
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: always a cheater. I do think. Um. I feel like

804
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: as a gay man, it's like like very like social,

805
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: like sex stuff is kind of social too, Like it's

806
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: like like how can you be Like it's hard to

807
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: be monogamous because it's like you'll literally be at like

808
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: an underwear party and it's like, well, this is kind

809
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: of a sex thing, Like you know what I mean,

810
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: it's hard for gay men because we're always at underwear parties,

811
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: like the sexual crazy because like when you're gay, like

812
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: you can just be at an underwear party and like

813

Speaker 1: literally words interesting my arm. I don't know. Like one

815
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,360

818
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: it's it's important to um rebel against trait society by

819
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: creating a new, more complicated set of rules that can

820
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: make you unhappy in different ways ding ding ding ding

821

824
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: have sex with anyone so that I feel complete? Sure? Yes, Well,

825
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: I often find I'm not. I'm not challenged enough day

826
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: to day. So I like to create new challenges for

827
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: myself just for the hell of it, for the hell

828
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: of it, or to come because for the hell of

829
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: it is is not a good enough reason. But UM

830
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: creating challenges so that you can come. That's the scales

831
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 1: are tipping a little in that favor. You know. Well, honey,

832
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: if I want to challenge, I just go for a run,

833
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: am I right? Seriously? Happy New Year's everybody after everyone

834
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: knows that about you. You know, if I wanted a challenge,

835
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: I'd go for a damn run. Tell you what. Seriously,

836
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: anytime I'm with people and they're like, oh, we want

837
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: to ditch Sam, let's just run. He'll never catch He'll

838
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: never catch us. He hates If my monogamous partner ever

839
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: goes on a run, that's cheating. That's no. If he

840
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: does crazy cheating, like you need to talk about that.

841
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Was he trying to get in shape for like he

842
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: has a boyfriend like, I mean you know what, literally,

843
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: like that's run. I often we have this fight where

844
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: I say, why can't why do you have to keep

845
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: hurting me like this and go on runs? Just go

846
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: have sex with someone else. That's so much less at

847
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: because it's direct, like exactly like he's like lying to you.

848
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: He's like, oh I'm working out. It's like, no, we

849
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: know what you're doing on these runs, Like oh no,

850
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: it's for me, like it makes me feel good, Like okay,

851
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: someone has self love, then they are cheating on you

852
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: with themselves. That's even more toxic than than having an affair.

853
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: To me, if if my boyfriend is happy with himself

854
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: and feels good about um. You know, the way he

855
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: is and the way he looks. I think that is

856
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: so Um. It creates this toxic environment where where I

857
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: have to compete with him m hmm for his own love. Yeah,

858
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: I think whenever. That's why, Like when guys aren't therapy,

859
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: it's you should like talk to me, that's all. Don't

860
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 1: even get me started on therapy. I mean, the ultimate

861
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: form of it goes the it goes m from from

862
00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: least bad to worst. It goes cheating on, cheating with

863
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: someone else, having sex with someone else, going on a run,

864
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: loving yourself, going to therapy. Yeah, all of that stuff.

865
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist, you know, kind of toxic relationship dynamics

866
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: don't exist among gay people. That's a straight thing. Though.

867
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: I've had such a wonderful time some of the best

868
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: some of my favorite boyfriends at me too, me too, um.

869
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: And I've never met a gay person who has who

870
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: has done anything wrong. You know, Here's what I will

871
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: always say about the gay lifestyle. It's just good vibes

872
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: only it is. That's the crux of it. And when

873
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: FDR shipped all those gay people over to the interior

874
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: decorators from middle class straight couples. That's that was the

875
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: one Uh, that was the one direction he gave them.

876
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Boys go out there and good vibes only. And so

877
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: George also, you know, I'm not as um well read

878
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: we'd where women come from? Gay women? Yeah, well they

879
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: were on the Mayflower. Oh no, here's what happened. Certain

880
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: gay women were on the Mayflower. That's true, that's okay,

881
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: forget that. But otherwise what ended up happening is so

882
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: the gay men were so focused on aesthetics when they

883
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: were doing this decorating that all the bones of all

884
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: of these houses were absolutely demolished within like two seconds.

885
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean that men would go there, they would hang

886
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: something up with like a nail that was, you know,

887
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 1: made of horse hair or something, and then they would

888
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of leave, and then within three days everything would

889
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: be decrepit. So then uh fdr spaces fact. So then

890
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: he had to bring in lesbians to fix the the

891
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: actual bones of the homes. And then since then there's

892
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: been this beautiful tradition of gay men ruining things and

893
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: lesbians fixing them. Oh that's where that started. Yeah, that's amazing, amazing.

894
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: I want to go back. I want to I want

895
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 1: to go back because I feel like I I've made

896
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: George feel bad about being in a monogamous relationship. Me. Yeah, no,

897
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: you haven't made me feel bad at at all. It's

898
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: not something I think that made you feel bad many times,

899
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: just maybe not about that. Yeah yeah, I mean our

900
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: relationship is our friendship is built on um this power

901
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: and balance where you make me feel bad and then

902
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: I say thank you. Yeah, but as someone who gets

903
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: insanely jealous, I understand monogamy when that's why I started

904
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: ice water and there you go. Thank you for I

905
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: was like trying to egg you on to bring it

906
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: back to the to the to the app. Yeah, just

907
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: because I was like, Okay, I have all this energy,

908
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: like like there's already enough negativity in the world. What

909
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: can I do to give back? And so I went

910
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: to Silicon Valley. I sort of like book my head

911
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: around a little bit. This was like um in July,

912
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: so like COVID wasn't as bad as it is. It

913
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: was still pretty bad, like I should have worn a

914
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: mask and stuff, but I mean it's California. The air

915
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: is like different. Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it was really hot.

916
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: We didn't know was really clean. Yeah yeah, yes, um

917
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, and then I met some guys that were like,

918
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: we have this idea for ice water. I was like, oh,

919
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: but I already have that. They're like, no, you think

920
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: you do. But then yeah, so that like so that's

921
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: why I so in a weird way, like my open

922
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: relationship is what lead ice water to being what it

923
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: is today, which is the number one brand of ice

924
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: water with an app available on the market. I think

925
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: it's so cool that you started talking about ice water

926
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: UM as a product that you love, and you know,

927
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: as the podcast has gone on, you sort of revealed

928
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: it's also a product that you started. You started. It's

929
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: a little dishonest to um I just your ownership in

930
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,959
Speaker 1: the in the brand at the beginning, it's it's hard

931
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: for me. I feel a little bit like you cheated

932
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: on us by no no, which is good, okay, okay,

933
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: but I again, it was like these guys started it.

934
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: I just sort of hopped on and was like, I

935
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: have a platform, let me help you guys. They were like,

936
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like we don't our product isn't explicitly

937
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: gay like we like. I was like, Ariana Grande follows me.

938
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: Um They're like, okay, right right, So yeah, I worry

939
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: about the band. Um. But so you are kind of

940
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: sorry what you're kind of a glorified celebrity spokesperson. It's

941
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of like when Alicia Keys was a creative director

942
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: of Puma or Lady Gaga was the creative director of Polaroid.

943
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Yes and Alicia, Yeah, that is exactly what it is. Sam,

944
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, okay, so cold you want to what

945
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: the question? I'm sorry, not Puma, it was BlackBerry. I

946
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: always get those two confused. Yeah, no, I always accidentally

947
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: I take my Puma speaker and I put it on

948
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: the air and I say hello, and then I try

949
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: to use BBM on it, but I'm I'm actually looking

950
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: for my BlackBerry. Yeah. I hate when I'm trying to

951
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: BBM and I'm like, wait, this is a shoelace. I'm

952
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: such a fucking idiot BBM and it's a Puma sneaker. Um,

953
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: and then but that's what. But that's the thing. Those

954
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: are the times when you have to call Alicia Keys

955
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: and say wait, you send her a photo of what

956
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: you're holding and you say is this a sneaker or

957
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: a BlackBerry? It's really really bad as when you end

958
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: up using the BlackBerry as a sneaker and you like

959
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 1: step on it and you end up sending a BBM.

960
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: That's like totally embarrassing and like it's just like like

961
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: you like send these photos to people on an accident

962
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: because you're like stepped on your BlackBerry and like you

963
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: send an accident like foot BBM. Like we've all been there.

964
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: That's the Anthony Weener photos leaked. Yeah. Yeah, he was

965
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: a cheater, by the way, it's a cheater. I mean

966
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: a classic cheater. Yeah, who's the most famous cheater on Earth? Clinton?

967
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: That's true. Good point. That is a good point. Do

968
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: you think do you think Bill Clinton would have cheated

969
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: if he had access to pure man? Yeah, he was

970
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: really up. He was like he was like, look, Monica,

971
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: I am so backed up, like like I've tried everything,

972
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: like this sounds so stupid, but like if I blow

973
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: in your mouth, like maybe that'll loosen, like maybe that'll

974
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: jiggle a little. Yeah, And she was like you but okay,

975
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: but you know, President it wants to poop. I'll do

976
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: what I can. It's my like duty as a patriot. Yes,

977
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, if he had had Pereferman, that probably wouldn't

978
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: have even happened, what would be the angle that would

979
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: get us canceled for this for that last rant? Like

980
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: right now, that's a question. So I think, well, there

981
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: are many layers. I think you could. I think some

982
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: people would say just the fact that you are joking

983
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: about it is bad. Right, So that's layer one, right,

984
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: because what happened to her was was of course unacceptable,

985
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and and and and bad and and and and he

986
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: was in a position of power, and and yes, the

987
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: media like dragged over the coals, and it was very unfair.

988
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: And she's been traumatized for life. So that's the layer

989
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: one is just like you can't even mention it, that's bad.

990
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Layer two like the punching up versus punching down arguments,

991
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: So like are we by by saying that rand are

992
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: we punching up or punching down? I think we're punching

993
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: like um, like sideways, And and to be honest, a

994
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: little bit down mm hmm, because we are in the

995
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: imagery that we described, we're putting her in kind of

996
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: a humiliating yea in the affair, he's also in a

997
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: humiliating position, like he's all stopped up because you're star

998
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I think What happened is we started with wanting to

999
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: humiliate Bill Clinton. We started wanting to be like, imagine

1000
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,479
Speaker 1: how stupid it would be if Bill Clinton was so bad,

1001
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: if that's and that's why he she did exactly. Yeah.

1002
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: So and then this what you're saying, I think is

1003
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: a third way we could be canceled, which is to

1004
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: say that the sin was cheating rather than beauty power. Yes, yes,

1005
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: so you're minimizing it. Uh huh right, correct, decap we

1006
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: have talked about something that's taboo, then punched sideways and down,

1007
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and then minimized what was a gross abuse of presidential power. Well,

1008
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: should we do our last segment? Yes? Wow, Um, yes,

1009
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: I think we should do our last segment. Um. So,

1010
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: our last segment is called Shoutouts coal and you know,

1011
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: we give a radio shout out sort of in the

1012
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: style of t r L two to something you like.

1013
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: It can be anything in the whole wide world. Um

1014
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: and uh, George, do you have one? Sure? What's up? Listeners?

1015
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I want to give a quick shout out to my

1016
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: deep dysfunctional microphone. And first of all, I'm sorry to

1017
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: victim blame you because you are maybe not even the

1018
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: dysfunctional one. I just took credit for it in a

1019
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: way that I thought would make me into murder, but

1020
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: then in fact it ended up making this entire episode

1021
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: into kind of a competition for who can be meanest

1022
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: to me, which I maybe should have seen coming. But

1023
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was talking among the friends. But in

1024
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: fact it is you that it is the issue that

1025
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I want to say. It is not your fault. It

1026
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: is the government's fault. And I will never replace you

1027
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: because you are not defective to me. You are perfect,

1028
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: just in a different way. And so with that I say,

1029
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: go for and maybe pursue comedy. Love the whoo Um okay, um,

1030
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: well what's up listeners? Um. I just want to give

1031
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: a huge shout out to the bizarre New Year's broadcasts.

1032
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: I found that to be so touching and weird to

1033
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: have all the ten people sitting in Times Square wearing

1034
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Planet Fitness merch and who could forget the keya countdown

1035
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the clock? I want to buy a car yesterday. I

1036
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: love this countdown. It felt so corporate and so branded,

1037
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: and I think I think more things should be and

1038
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I think this podcast should be, and so in that regards,

1039
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to Buick. I

1040
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to Amazon. I'm gonna

1041
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Chipotle like you to me

1042
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: are a local restaurant. Thanks everybody, who who what's up? Listeners?

1043
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: I just want to give a quick shout out to

1044
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: everyone out there, this including you, because we are the

1045
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: ones that make the difference on November three. We will

1046
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: get out there, We will march the vote, we will

1047
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: make our voices heard. We will tell the government no

1048
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: more and tell ourselves time is now? Whoa than awesome? Uh? Cole?

1049
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I guess you know full transparency, we should mention that

1050
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: you are a Biden sorge uh here today, So that's

1051
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: sort of what that was for. Oh, you're the only

1052
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: Biden sorget's still actively campaigning for him to get elected. Well,

1053
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: because you know, we don't know what the Republicans are

1054
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: going to try to pull, right, but you are still

1055
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,439
Speaker 1: knocking on doors and telling people the election isn't over

1056
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: lord for Joe Biden. Yeah, because when when do you

1057
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: get attacked vulnerable when your back is charing? You know, well,

1058
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: guess what, I'm America may have their back turned, but

1059
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: I've got my back up to America turned the other way,

1060
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: back to back. I am back to back with America,

1061
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: and I have got I'm I'm the eyes in the

1062
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: back of this country's head. That's what I like to say,

1063
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: even though you're facing the other way. Well, here's the

1064
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: back of the head and the back of the I'm

1065
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: the eyes in the back of America's I see. So

1066
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: you're back to back with America. But you do have

1067
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: eyes in the back of your head. No, he has

1068
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: eyes in the front of his head. He's back to

1069
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: back to America. So he's the eyes on the back

1070
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: of America's head. You can draw it for you. It's

1071
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: actually in the ice outer app like a little picture

1072
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: because it's the same like the money that Joe and

1073
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Jill are the ones who created it. And then so

1074
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: so so just a clarified call because a lot of

1075
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: this is really clicking in the place. Joe Biden's presidential

1076
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: run was all a giant sponsored campaign for ice water.

1078
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: the other, like there's no there's This is what I
