1 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: Podcast starts now. Wow, Hello all, and welcome to Stradio Lab. 2 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: We have an incredible episode for you today. Sorry, I 3 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: thought that would be like a fun different way to know. 4 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I love it. I love when you I can kind 5 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: of tell when you start the intro when um, you're 6 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: losing steam. Yeah, we're like a cool five seconds now. 7 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: I love that I can, I can say the name 8 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: of the podcast, and I never help you. I always 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: let you do that. No, and you watch with glee. 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: I know, but I kind of like the tradition of 11 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: you always start you, you always say the first word. 12 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, what is a podcast without tradition. I mean, 13 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: let's face nothing, it's nothing. But I did think it 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: would be fun to introduce is the podcast sort of 15 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: as if I know what's going to come? Uh, which 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: I think is fun because obviously I have no idea 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: and there's no way to know. But sort of I 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: mean to bring it back to where we were at 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: the beginning, sort of mark marining the podcast and sort 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: of talking about the interview as if it's already happened. Oh, 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: that's fun. It's fun to do that even though it 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: hasn't already happened, and it hasn't already happened, and it's 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: sort of like someone emulating something and not understanding why 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: it's done that way. Oh my god, yes genius and 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: so um hey, maybe we should try it. It's like 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: when people say when people use cliches but they don't 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: make any sense, Like when people are like, he wasn't 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: in love with me, he was in love with the 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: idea of me, but like in context that makes literally 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: no sense, but like about what you're saying, you know 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's also a lot of stand up 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: open mic culture. Specifically, it's a lot of people like 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: using the cadences, using the like tools, but sort of 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: not understanding why they're there or how we got to 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: them in the phrase place. Okay, wait, do you know what? 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Actually I've been um witnessing this a lot recently with 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: my suggested content on the various social media sites that 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I spend most of my hours on, is people will 39 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: kind of caption things with with the sentence that sounds 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: like that that sounds like an algorithmic version of a 41 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: joke someone would make, So they'll be like, you know, 42 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: maybe the sun isn't so bad, or but that's a 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: bad example because that actually makes sense. But they will 44 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: be like, you know, it'll be like after a haircut, 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: and they'll be like, sometimes gays get haircuts. Why can't 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: I think of a good one? You know what you 47 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: brought up? The one you tweeted about this. I know 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: I've already said, but I did get I I gotta. 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: I saw a tweet and the captain was I don't 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: usually like button downs, but this shirt made some points 51 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: and it was indeed a photo of someone wearing a 52 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: shirt you're yeah, you're really doing on something like gay Twitter. 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: Language did used to have meaning. It used to be funny, 54 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: and it used to feel like edgy or something that's right. 55 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: Now it's completely empty. It's it's nonsensical, and it's just 56 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: used as like I'm hot and that's the right and 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: then to bring it to bring, you know, to view 58 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: that also through a feminist lens. The same thing can 59 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: be said of hot girl culture on Instagram, where you know, 60 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: let's say a certain woman spelled at the y will 61 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: post a photo of herself spelled with I on the 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: at the pool and then the two years and the 63 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: caption will be like, why can't I think of a 64 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: good example? Maybe it actually takes more talent to do 65 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: it badly than to do it well, because everything I 66 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: think of actually does make sense. What's a good example 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: of Like, let's say I'm I'm posting a photo of 68 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: myself in a bikini at the pool, and I'm and 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: I like, don't know how language works. What would I write? 70 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: You know what I'm trying to say? I guess I know. 71 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Like it would be like like hot girls, uh go 72 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: to Miami, or like that that makes too much sense. No, 73 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: we don't be like that, but it wouldn't make sense. 74 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: Like it would be like, um, gorgeous girls just girls 75 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: use their phone. It would be like someone said orange 76 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: means I'm back. It's like I have too too good 77 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: a grasp of the English language, so every sentence I 78 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: say is a masterpiece. George, this is not I cannot 79 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: help but feel that this is not endearing to claim 80 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: that you are too much of a genius to be 81 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: stupid even for a second. I don't know. I think 82 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: people love it. I cannot help but feel this will 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: lead to backlash. I cannot help but feel we have 84 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: to be able between the two of us. We have 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: to be able to find an imaginary example of a 86 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: bad Instagram caption. This is not that hard. Okay, well, 87 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: I guess, like I don't know how silly you're trying 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: to go with it. Like I'm like I keep trying 89 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: to think of like Wednesdays or for the sun or 90 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: like something like that, or like, um, um, my dad 91 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: said I could sit Oh my god, no, here's what 92 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: it is. My dad said I could sit by the 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: pool if I ate my vegetables. Like there's like an 94 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: uncanny valley quality where it's like that is almost that 95 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: is almost a funny caption. My final answer is my 96 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: dad said I could eat by the My dad said 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: I could sit by the pool if I eat my vegetables. Okay, 98 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: I see what you mean. It's that's more it's quirkier 99 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: than like normal Instagram influencer. And I'm talking about someone 100 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: like trying to be trying to be half funny, like 101 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: knowing that you can't just post a photo of yourself 102 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 1: by the pool. There has to be a self deprecating element. 103 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: But then you like don't actually have this stuff that 104 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: you don't actually um feel something resembling insecurity. In order 105 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: for you to be um to be self deprecating, you 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: actually do think what you're doing is important, so you 107 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: have you're like panicked and you're like my dad said, 108 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: I could sit by the pool if I eat my vegetables. Well, 109 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: and here's where I'm struggling with this specific prompt is 110 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: that I don't follow any um like sort of women 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: who aren't absolute geniuses. I don't know any women who 112 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: are flawed. Uh. Every woman that I know is a 113 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: social media goddessa who is incredible at being quirky and 114 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: hot in their own unique and non male pleasing way 115 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: unless they want to. That is really really interesting, Whereas 116 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: every woman I follow is an absolute moron. Um. Definitely, 117 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: the gay men that Twitter puts on my feed without 118 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: my consent are morons, but the ones I follow are gorgeous, 119 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: gorgeous girls who can eat their vegetables by the pool. Okay, well, 120 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: I kind of thought this was like. When I brought 121 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: this up, I really thought I was gonna make some 122 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: grand point. But I guess all I've done is said 123 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: women are stupid. No, no, no, you also implied the 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: game in are stupid. Yeah, I guess I did. I 125 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: mean it's funny because I almost wanted to be original 126 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: and not making fun of game in and then my 127 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: solution to that was making fun of women, which is 128 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: so it's like I've gone full circle of horseshoe theory 129 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: and I'm just being sexist. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. That works. 130 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of the pitfalls of intellectual inquiry. There are 131 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: a lot of them. There are a lot of them, 132 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and I fall into them every single day. I know, 133 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: and you know every time we record this episode, we're 134 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: dodging them left and right. Yes, every one's in a while, 135 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna slip into damn hole. I know. It really 136 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: is crazy, um that I've I've kind of said anything 137 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: I can say that would sound intelligent. And now last 138 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: episode I was talking about being all right, yeah it's 139 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: a dark path we're on because we heard it's actually 140 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: like I I do feel like, ultimately, are we being 141 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: just uh kind of edge lords? No? No, no no, no, 142 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: we're to our core is too sweet. We can't go 143 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: all the way even if we wanted to, we couldn't 144 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: do it. And everyone who listens to this knows that 145 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: if I make some kind of joke, it's out of 146 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: not just the deep respect for women, but I actually 147 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: bowed down to them and to their feminine power. Oh 148 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: say that. Um, and actually I feel like maybe this 149 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: is a great time. Um, we actually have a woman 150 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: in the zoom that you could maybe apologize to, which 151 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: could be really I mean, I had a whole other 152 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to talk about, but I guess we 153 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: can bring in a woman. Well, you know, it's just 154 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: we've been talking for like twelve minutes, so it's like 155 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: it's about that time. You know what I mean, not 156 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: to be structured in that way, but we've been holding 157 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: our guest hostage once again. Wow, the time really flew by. 158 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: I honestly feel like we've been talking for like three minutes. 159 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: It's been a little while. Okay, fine, Um, you know 160 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: what I should have done this before? Actually, Sarah, I 161 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: don't know what name you're going by right now? Yeah? 162 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: Who are you? Who? Literally? Who speak for yourself?

I go to pipe up so badly, 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: But you had me locked in a cage, you had 179 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: me mirrored it, you had me censored. You've had me silence. 180 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: Daddy didn't let you go to the pool because you 181 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: weren't eating your vegetables. For me, a hot girl, the algorithmic. 182 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: This gets me hot and needed this conversation. It actually 183 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: pisces me right off. It's the whole. It's the whole 184 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: picture of a girl at the beach, been saying the 185 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: sand understood the assignment.

You live like this? 190 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: It pisses me off. Well, now it's interesting because we're 191 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: getting at the intersection of hot and girls and gay 192 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: guys on Twitter. So everyone's hands are dirty, very true, 193 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: and the only people that really are coming out of 194 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: this unscathed the dark straight men whose behavior online is exemplary. Well, 195 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: and they've been scolded so much, you know, they've they 196 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: can't be just being weird on the internet anymore. They 197 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: can't get like brownie points for just being basic. Like 198 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's not about being basic. It's like straight 199 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: guys will be like kill yourself, you know, and then 200 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: at least it's at least it's easy to critique that. 201 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: It's hard to it's also like hard. I think we 202 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: can really access the gay the gays and the girl's 203 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: voice so easily, like you know, it's it's giving that 204 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: comes out like water does. But for me to like 205 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: properly mimic the drill slash, ClickHole voice of Twitter, I 206 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: cannot replicate that. I cannot do it. It is not 207 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: in the skill set, it's not in the tool belt. Yeah, 208 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: I can't either, and it does still feel um like 209 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: I can't describe it, but it feels still like a 210 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: straight male gate keeping where it's like, well, let me 211 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: do it, and it's like no, you actually just will 212 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: never understand it, and it's like no, you're kind of 213 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: right though, like I can't do it, and when I do, 214 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: it's like it feels false. It feels like saying it's 215 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: giving turkey girl, like because it's false in its own way. 216 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: You feel like when you try to emulate a kind 217 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: of straight um, what's the word that people use straight 218 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: presenting um Twitter voice, you suddenly go full it's giving 219 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: turkey girl. Yeah, I bet like there's a straight male 220 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: podcast and it's like, don't you get annoyed when people 221 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: try to do what we do and it actually sounds 222 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: like this, and then the genius co host is being like, 223 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I can't even think of a way to make it sound. Yeah. 224 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: It's funny because we think we're so on alert for 225 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: people stealing Gailing Whige that we actually are completely blind 226 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: to the fact that we're constantly stealing straight language, which 227 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: is basically any kind of language except it's giving turkey girl. 228 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: I had okay, I hate doing Twitter around up and 229 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: yet somebody has to um, one time I did tweet 230 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: like like weed makes me want a snack or something 231 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: like along those lines. You got me hook line and sink, 232 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: And then I responded like who who wrote this? And 233 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, this is me being like this is 234 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: very much knock language. If anything, I'm in a more 235 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: straight territory right now, pretending to be like a weird 236 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: basic guy. Um. But I actually feel like it was 237 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: a complete flop because it's just it was, Yes, Sarah, 238 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: can I straighten up your tweet? Can I fully bring 239 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: usher that tweet into the promised land of the straits? Sarah? Please? 240 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: We needed the greatest version of that tweet would have been. 241 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, this this is gonna make o 242 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: sense to anyone who listens to this podcast. If you 243 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: were to have tweeted my large male son's love weed 244 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: that makes them hungry, that is a straight tweet, and 245 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: then you go that's and there you go. See you 246 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: have to fully commit. Sam's instinct was to be like, 247 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I'm appropriating straight men, but we'd makes 248 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: me hungry. So already there's a kind of insecurity there 249 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: that's coming through. Wow, you've apologizing, Yeah, you've pointed out, 250 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: large adult sons is straight. It's giving so correct. That's 251 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting, a finger on the pulse of the straight. Yeah, 252 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: it's interesting that you said this would make sense in 253 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: se I'm starting to think it barely makes sense. Absolutely absolutely, 254 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: that's because straight culture it's getting brutal. It gives. And 255 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: the thing with large adult sons is like, that's kind 256 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: of like the peak of I mean, that's like advanced 257 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: straight culture. You know, it's like, oh, wow, good for you. 258 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: You're no longer saying that's what she said. You're saying 259 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: large adult sons. What are you a PhD? That that 260 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: is what she said? You know what you just did 261 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: to my brain when you said that's what she said? 262 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Something like I think I hit the back wall of 263 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: my brain and like the it ricocheted around my skull 264 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: in the craziest play. Yeah. No, it's the it's the equivalent. 265 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Congress, you're not saying San Diego means 266 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: the whales vagina anymore. You're saying large adult sons. Sam 267 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: is losing it. I feel like I'm in like an 268 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: etymology class. Like the way you're pointing out, like how 269 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: language grows is truly freaking me out because I forgot, 270 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: you forget that everything is related, and everything just like 271 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: gets renamed and it's like, Wow, it's not whales vagina anymore, 272 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: it's adult sons. It's kind of crazy to um live 273 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: through all these things. And somewhere in the middle of 274 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: the spectrum is Florida is the armpit? Kind of yes, totally. 275 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Oh and even just like Florida as like only in Florida, 276 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: Like Florida, Man does this only in Florida? Florida's or 277 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: like or like, oh, New Jersey isn't New Jersey the armpit? 278 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: So someone's the armpits the penis? Yeah, yeah, well it's 279 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: like God straight people are upset. The idea of states 280 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: really tickles them because it's like the only kind of 281 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: borders they can I not like they can really wrap 282 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: their heads around. They don't know how about global geopology. Yeah, yeah, 283 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: I know that any kind of land um kind of 284 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: the separation of land. It's kind of their read and butter. 285 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: So when they conceive of, oh, this state ends here 286 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: and this one begins here, it's like happening. I feel Sarah, 287 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: you brought up this podcast being listened to in um, 288 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: how what do you think the shelf life of a 289 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: podcast should be? Do you feel that a podcast should 290 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: deteriorate over time? I kind of think, yes, yeah, I'm 291 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: going to say something that is going to be incredibly disrespectful. Please. 292 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: I had the realization when I woke up on January 293 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: one where I I literally called up dear friend Ruby McCallister, 294 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: post guests, former podcast host. So nothing but respect for 295 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: my presidents in the sumer. Absolutely. I woke up on 296 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: the morning of January and I said, Ruby, this is 297 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: the year of music. No more podcasts. Wow. Wow, I 298 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: am going into this year saying a podcast episode. She had. 299 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: The shelf life of the zeitgeis that it's in. You 300 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: listen to it when it happens, and it and it 301 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: dissipates in in the ocean the whales Orgina. Music is forever, 302 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Music is a turn to be right. Music love, Music 303 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: is life. Okay, that's an Instagram cop ship. Music is 304 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: music is love, Music is life, very very edgy. That's 305 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: you should write that when you post your next pool 306 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: side selfie hot dog legs girl, hot dog legs, hot 307 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: dog legs girl. Hashtag music is love, Music is lives 308 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: I want to get out ahead of this and say, 309 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: I want I want to know in the history of 310 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: Stradio lab, has there ever been a guest that is 311 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: so we're presenting as me right and as straight monogamous 312 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: as right. Oh that's a great, great question. Um, yes, 313 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: we probably can't say. I think she would. I think 314 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: she would agree that she is queer presenting and yet 315 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: and in fact queer period, but straight relationship presenting. Oh god, Claric, yeah, smart, 316 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: that's correct. But Clara is queer and we would never 317 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: deem to erase that. Of course, I I go stamp 318 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: me straight right, whereas you are proud, proudly straight, in fact, 319 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: uncomfortably proud of how straight you are. For everybody is 320 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: lifting up a fist, lifting up power fist, which is 321 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, very dark energy. And now and now doing 322 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: a kind of peace sign. Oh she comes in, peace 323 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: becomes yeah, ok o, little alien peace sign with the 324 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: two fingers on each side. We'll start that. That's a 325 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: queer shows show.

Christine found the 418 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: post and commented, in fact in a complimentary way, she 419 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: liked the piece, and she commented that she really liked 420 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: what he wrote, and then she wrote the following sentence. 421 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: She wrote, I'm not ashamed of understanding the assignment and 422 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: that I think perfectly capsulates like that perfectly capsulates where 423 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: where like what kind of meta world like like this 424 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: kind of like Frankenstein world that these women are occupying, 425 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: where it doesn't even matter what they say as long 426 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: as there is some gesture at both straightforward earnestness and 427 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: self aware and ironic self awareness, like they kind of 428 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: can just say whatever they want because if it's stupid, 429 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: then it's immediately funny, and if it's and if it's smart, 430 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: then their genius. Like, so, where what is the end game? 431 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something slanderous, Okay, I feel like it 432 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: could all to me. It all boils down to the 433 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: phenomenon of now, Like the culture of drag is young 434 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: people growing up watching the reality television show of RuPaul's 435 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: Driver Aways, Yes, and doing drag to be on the 436 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: show RuPaul's Dragways. It's almost as if we live in 437 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: a Philip K. Dick future, dystopian future, where we are 438 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: even taking the most transgressive forms of performance art being 439 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: a housewife, Thanks Sacred. I literally I do think being 440 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: a housewife is one of the most transgressive forms of 441 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: performance art. And I don't even talking about the show. 442 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm just talking. I mean, in the capitalist society, of course, 443 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: your gons marry a dying uh psychopath nazis to live 444 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: in a cheesecake factory looking at his house. Yeah, I 445 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: mean that's you're living. It's a lived in art um. 446 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: I love we We haven't gotten to this space in 447 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: a while where the sort of the full we live 448 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: in a society, and to get there in a podcast 449 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: is so bold and so brave. If not here where 450 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: and this is too No, I have no idea how 451 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: necessary this is. I think this piece of podcasting is 452 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: one of the most necessary pieces of media. I think 453 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: you have simultaneously called and and predicted the end of 454 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: podcasting as an art form and reinvented what it is 455 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: to have a podcast. Yes, this is the exception that 456 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: proves the rule, and that this is the one useful 457 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: episode of any podcast, and it is the episode that 458 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: predicts the end of podcasting. I say, can I shoplin 459 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: On that the only way to save this Yes, is 460 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: for you too to start screen recording right now and 461 00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: start the reality show of the podcast. Okay, wait, First 462 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: of all, this is being screen recorded. We just have 463 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: never We would never ever, in our in our wildest dreams, 464 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: released the screen recording where only we only would ever 465 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: release the audio. But if someone were to hack into 466 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: my computer, for instance, they could find the screen recording 467 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: of you in your queer presenting outfit, calling for the 468 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: elder podcast, Holy up your Street, holding up a straight 469 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: power fist, calling for the end of podcasting. That's someone 470 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: who supports the pod. Okay, I I this is just 471 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: based on one thing you said, which I think like 472 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: hits the nail on the head. So you're saying, you know, 473 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: the young queer kids watch drag Race and want to 474 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: do drag to be on the show, which is interesting 475 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: because it used to be that like drag culture existed 476 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: outside of it and then this was just like something 477 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: that showcased certain queens. But you're saying, now you watch 478 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: the show and that's why you want to be a 479 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: drag queen. The thing with the rest of the reality shows, 480 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: like the Housewives is like, okay, so you watch that, 481 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: and then that teaches you how to be a person. 482 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: Like the only inception you have of being a person 483 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: in the world is like what kind of reality shows 484 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: star can you be? So it's raising little toxic gaze 485 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: and girls to be housewives.

Okay, 487 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: this goes deep and also this is alleged and conspiratorial, 488 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: but I'm going to state this as if it's back. 489 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: We're talking to episodes in a Real Housewives Orange County. 490 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: She is saying that she has been served divorce papers 491 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: from her husband. We're on Puerto Rico, and the papers 492 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: are in a language that she doesn't understand, and she's 493 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: crying on the show, saying, I can't believe my husband 494 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: is divorcing me out of nowhere and serving me divorce 495 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: papers in a Spanish language that I do not speak. 496 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: I can't believe he's fled to Puerto Rico and done 497 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: this to me. I go to his Instagram to his 498 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: direct address from facing camera videos. His name is Attorney 499 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: Sweet James. He's got billboards all around Orange County, and 500 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: he is alleging that they lived in Puerto Rico where 501 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: they raised their son, and that to get on the 502 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Orange County, she moved her and her son, 503 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: who Orange County a band paying him in Puerto Rico, 504 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: and now she has fabricated a lie about divorce papers 505 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: and fabricated a lie about Puerto Rico being a place 506 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: she's never been, and that his dedication to the craft 507 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: and in your life to becoming a fake person. So 508 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: just to confirm what I'm hearing here is that you 509 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: don't believe women and immediately are taking the man side. 510 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: All it takes is one front facing camera video in 511 00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: an empty, poorly decorated, poorly lit house. I love that. 512 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: I think maybe it is time to get to our topic. Um, Sarah, 513 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: you you know I'd say we did not send you 514 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: the proper email before this episode. You sort of didn't 515 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: really know what to what was needed of you, and 516 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: yet we asked you what topic you wanted to talk about, 517 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: and you, without waiting even a second, brought us a topic. 518 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: Would you like to say? What it is? What did 519 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: I say? In the point one millisecond upon being asked, 520 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: you didn't even finish your question. He said, what do 521 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: you want to talk about? I said, Jack asked black 522 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: ass culture? Well, first, if I remember correctly, you had 523 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: almost I would say an ego death moment where you 524 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: could not stop talking about how, in fact, you are 525 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: so knowledgeable about straight culture that this will be a 526 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: challenging podcast appearance for you because you have so much 527 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: to say that it's oozing out of every pore. One 528 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: of my biggest humiliations is that I am so unbelievably 529 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: a verse in the straight culture. Ask me anything you 530 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: need to know if you have any questions going forward, 531 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: I could probably provide an answer. I mean, well, let's 532 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: start with Jackass culture. Explain like your history with it 533 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: and what reads us straight about it to you? So, 534 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: growing up as a precocious Jewish goblin on Long Island 535 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: and would see Jackass on the television, say this is 536 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: not a space for me. Okay, this is not a 537 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: space for me. It is these boys like this. This 538 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: is my child's mind. Boys like this don't like me. 539 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: This is not a welcome space for me. By then 540 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: hit the age, do a revisit on Jackass, and what 541 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: do I see but a space that was built for 542 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: gays and girls and you're actually a space for gays 543 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: and girls. You are completely correct. Absolutely. First of all, 544 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: Number one, everyone knows they're all hot, you're all hilarious. 545 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: There are guys hanging out with their friends. They're all 546 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: real friends. We all see these shows, like these reality 547 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: shows where you see a group of friends doing stuff. 548 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: They're not friends. I don't like each other. They actually right, 549 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: it's so interesting. I mean that almost I would say, 550 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: even uh perpetuates perpetuated certain harmful stereotypes because you have 551 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: male friendship portrayed in such a nice light. I mean, 552 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: they would literally die for one another, die for each other, 553 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: in Demi Levato's words, And then with women in the 554 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: Real Housewives franchise, they are stabbing each other in the back, 555 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: left and right. And as you said, marrying Nazis in 556 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: order to live in a in a in a cheesecake 557 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 1: factory house. So what do you have to say about that? 558 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: And they're not even like I would die for you, 559 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 1: like I would give you a kidney, I would die 560 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: just to get one nick you laugh once. Actually, yeah, 561 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: I would go through such tremendous bodily torture to get 562 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 1: one half at of you. Then, I mean, they're all 563 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: fabulous in their own way. We've got a cast of 564 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: characters that all have something to offer. They all of 565 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: their pranks prey on their deepest fears. You get like 566 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: Stevo famously doing um bathroom stall on a bungee cord 567 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: where he gets put in a uh port that's what 568 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: it called porta potty, a porta potty filled with dogshit 569 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: that gets shaken up and down by a bungee cord, 570 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: which and that prank is built off of his deep 571 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: fear of bungee cords themselves. So you've got like an 572 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: interesting play with like a kernel deep like death Drive 573 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: and so that's sort of interesting and then you get 574 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, when we get we hit on you know, 575 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 1: it can be you know, the show can be interpreted 576 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: as homophobic. We've got a lot of you know, the 577 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: character of party Boy Chris Ponnie is his character party 578 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: Boy where he puts on a little song and goes 579 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: into a you know, Sam Goody and like dances all 580 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: over the park. And then we have Wild Boys, which 581 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: is um Steve Owens and Presponis in little thongs dancing 582 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: all around the Sahara. So, you know, are they being 583 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: homophobic or are they demystifying the homoertic dynamics in their relationships? Okay, 584 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: when one of them puts a toy train up their 585 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: butt hole, the demystifying the butt hole. But I think 586 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: they're demystifying. I mean, but now they are. I think 587 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: I think part of why it didn't feel like the 588 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: space for us at the time was because it was 589 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: like dare I say, like too soon, Like it was 590 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: like you can't look at it with like this distance 591 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: because all the boys that are watching this are are 592 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: homophobic and like loving that side of it. I think 593 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: the critical discourse hadn't evolved, they were they were doing 594 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: what they were doing in the wrong culture because and 595 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: I and that actually is probably true of a lot 596 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: of the comedy of that that time, because if there 597 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: had been uh women and queer people in positions of power, 598 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: by which I mean if they were professional television critics, 599 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,479 Speaker 1: and that's the most powerful position one can occupy, then 600 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: our cultural memory of those shows would be very different. 601 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: My friend, there has been, like I think more than 602 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: most shows, Like there's been an art popification of Jackass 603 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: where people are like, actually, it was good. Actually it's 604 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: pro gay. Actually it's like commenting on masculinity instead of 605 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: embracing it. Yeah, And and can I actually tell you why? 606 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: And it's very simple why Jackass is pro gay, but 607 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: someone using those exact tactics to like bully you in 608 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: school is not. And that issue, ladies and gentlemen, is 609 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: the issue of consent because everyone, everyone in that show 610 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: is part of a community. They have agreed to the rules, 611 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: and they are in fact using a form of group 612 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: therapy to process their trauma. They have their version of 613 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: safe words, they have their version of like kind of 614 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: group play, so to speak. It is within a safe space. 615 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: And and yes, someone can watch that, maybe a kind 616 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: of you know, an insecure, straight twelve year old can 617 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: watch that and then go and and potentially pants me 618 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: in the locker room, and and and and and and 619 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: kind of be like, look at this guy's ass. But 620 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: that is missing the point and the spirit of the original, 621 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: of the original work of art. And that is why 622 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: it always comes back to friendship. It's this consenting community 623 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 1: that has the common understanding of play and laughter. Yeah, 624 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: and now, and I guess this raises the point though, 625 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: if if I mean, how much can art be held 626 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: accountable for what people see in it and what kind 627 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: of behavior it inadvertedly allows? And that actually goes back 628 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: to the Housewives too, and the drag race to like, 629 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: is it the housewives fault that we are raising a 630 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: generation of gay men who are dumber than a brick? 631 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: It's giving brick? Is it the Housewives's fault that for 632 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: many gay men it's giving brick? That's a tough one. 633 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: I think partially they it's hard to tell. At the 634 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,919 Speaker 1: beginning of every Jackass, they go, don't try this at home? 635 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: They do? They do? And can I actually say something 636 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: talk about one of the first shows to literally use 637 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: a trigger warning. Speak on that one of the first 638 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: shows talk about a sign of like not just kind 639 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: of like progressivism, but like to a conservatives, I an 640 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: almost toxic campus culture progressivism. That that boogeyman, the famous 641 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: right wing boogeyman, the trigger warning. Well guess what. Guess 642 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: who the first people to use trigger warnings were. That's right, 643 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: it was Stevo and Johnny Knoxville. Baby wow, this is 644 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: an instant conversation. Literally, this, this community that you've so 645 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: eloquently pullets, is a safe space, trigger warnings, safe space, consent? 646 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: What other buzzwords we get trigger warnings, consent, kink positive, 647 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: kink positive, safe space, sex positive, the cropfish in his 648 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: diaper for the stunt crawfish diaper that is cock and 649 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: ball torture, that is exploration of King X and also 650 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: an artistic openness. Wow wow wow. In fact, say, as 651 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: the former I'll say it, house manager of my college's 652 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: lgbt Q center, I see very few differences, very few 653 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: differences between the culture of that organization and the culture 654 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: of the show jackass. Wow, I'm shocked. What I care 655 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: about most with artistic contect integrity is something we're missing 656 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: in our culture today, which is commitment to the bitment. 657 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: How many people at your college group we're willing to 658 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: do it, play it all on the line for the cause. Yeah, 659 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: and I think in fact, you know what you're actually 660 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: pointing to that the one hole in my argument is 661 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: those two aren't the same. In fact, jackasses more politically 662 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: progressive the LGBTQ Center that I was ahead of. I'm 663 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: also like the commitment is a real like thing. They 664 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: really do go for it, and like they are hurting 665 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: themselves in a way that is like so many people 666 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: are like half asking everything they do, especially in the 667 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: entertainment industry, sort of being like, well, how can I 668 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: just like clock in maybe and get like my royalties 669 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: and be like the most inoffensive that I possibly can 670 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 1: be for a half hour on NBC. And these guys 671 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: are coming in here, I mean, CBS, TBSS that and 672 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: speak on it. This guy is a rolling up on 673 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 1: MTV late at night and putting letting a mouse bite 674 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: their dick off, and why not. I do have one 675 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: more point, actually, which is that, as we've mentioned, as 676 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: we've kind of alluded to this a few times, there's 677 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 1: a lot of danger, specifically targeting the male genitalia. So, 678 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: in fact, you could say, not only aside from everything 679 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: you've already said, it's also literally kind of a mis indrist. 680 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: The aesthetics of it are almost as though it was 681 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: created by a group of radical feminists to have this 682 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: group of men torturing one another. I mean, we're talking 683 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 1: some manifesto level shit. It is the fantasy of watching 684 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 1: the hyper mask body being destroyed and with pleasure. It's like, 685 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: and it's and destroyed and not just destroyed, humiliated, humiliated, mocked. 686 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: It's literally it's like saying look and and and in fact, 687 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: the fact that they're hot, as you said, is like 688 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 1: part of that too, because you you're saying, look, these 689 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: are like white men kind of that have the body 690 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: that we are conditioned to think is ideal. Now we're 691 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: going to literally have an alligator bite their nipples off. 692 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: And I'm going to speak on this further. We are 693 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: getting and I could get in trouble with this jackass. 694 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: We are getting the head or normative American male form 695 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: of attractiveness, which is the ripped male. We've got the 696 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: Johnnies and the sea boats. We have also got a 697 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: spectrum of all bodies everybody. We've got Preston, he's a 698 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: big guy, Okay, and we and they use this for 699 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: we they use this body play for a comedy. We 700 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 1: get him cannonballing off the side of the ship. Okay, 701 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: we got we man. I know they're different kind of body. 702 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: Everybody's it's it's the humiliation is inclusive, and we're playing 703 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: with it. We're playing with the body order. Yeah yeah, 704 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 1: well right, Actually it's like, uh, if it was only 705 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: one kind of body, then then almost the commentary would 706 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: be too obvious. It would be then you're you're you're like, okay, 707 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: what is this season? Sorries Master of None? You know, 708 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,240 Speaker 1: you kind of it's you know, it's too on the nose. 709 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: But then you add the added layer everything you're talking about, 710 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 1: and I mean, at that point, you know, this is 711 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: this is you know, we can only study in a 712 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: film department. And here's the thing. This is blowing it 713 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: open a little. But we can't deny that Jackass culture 714 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: is the direct descendent of scape culture, of course, which 715 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: is an incredibly straight field. And I think that we 716 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 1: should you do commend jackass were queering scate culture. Yeah, 717 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: here's a question, like, have we gone too far in 718 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 1: the other direction in this critique. Yes, it's because I'm 719 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 1: about to tell you a story that's gonna blow your mind. Okay, okay, 720 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: please did I wait in line two hours at a 721 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: Jackass meat and greet and ask Chris plenty Is to 722 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: punch me in the boob? And he didn't want to 723 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: do it? Yeah? Wow? So do I for do I 724 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: forgive him and hope he doesn't really remember that that 725 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 1: was me? Yeah? Just because Yeah, Well, that's the whole 726 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: system breaks down, you know, is like is basically like 727 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 1: this world cannot include non straight men, but the new 728 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: movie does, and I'm curious to see how that plays out. 729 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: But wait, him not punching in the boob, I feel like, 730 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 1: isn't misogyny inherently? I think it is. I think it's 731 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 1: what you were lacking, What you were forgetting, is that 732 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,399 Speaker 1: you weren't in the circle of consent and he, even 733 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: though you were consenting to him, he was not necessarily 734 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: consenting to you. And that you know, you can't you 735 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: can't push it. They built this little circle of trust. 736 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 1: It's a circle of trust. You can't. You don't. You 737 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: don't get cast into it by a casting director. It's 738 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: a circle of trust built on mutual organic respect and 739 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 1: front to I guess I traded that violently. I violently entered. Yeah, 740 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: what would it would be the equivalent of someone entering 741 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ Center and immediately demanding of me have anal 742 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: sex with me. I know you like to do this, 743 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 1: so do it with me. If anything, it's almost offensive 744 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 1: what you did. I mean, it's like it's kind of 745 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: like using their own traditions against them. I mean it's 746 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: like it's kind of like going to you know, let's say, 747 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: a wedding of a tradition that is not your own, 748 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 1: and kind of like taking the traditional food and making 749 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: a joke of it and putting it up your nose. Well, 750 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 1: and so, how would you feel if you know, someone 751 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 1: came to a Sarah Score meet and greet and was like, well, 752 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,439 Speaker 1: dump these like brains I brought all over me. How 753 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: would that feel? It would feel? I would feel like 754 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: if a violence had been done or Yeah, and the 755 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: Chris Fannie, it's I apologize for pissing on the sacred church. Well, Jack, 756 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: you would not piss on the sacre church. And yet 757 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: I did, and yet you did. I Okay, we are 758 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,919 Speaker 1: being so pro jackass. I feel normally we have sort 759 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: of a more nuanced take away with our topics where 760 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: it's sort of like, well, we hate it, but we 761 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: do kind of like it, And this one we went 762 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: all the way. I think I can find a nuance here, 763 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,919 Speaker 1: and I'm genuinely searching, and I'm like, do I talk 764 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: about like how general prank culture is bad but we 765 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 1: already kind of did that. That's like the legacy of it. 766 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: It's the it's the legacy of it because and again, 767 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: whether it's their intention or their fault or not, it 768 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: did inspire some of the worst behavior among teenage boys 769 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: and later adult men that I think are gorgeous country 770 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: has ever seen. So do you have a point? I 771 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: want to I want to extrapolate on prink culture. Okay, 772 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: I think that some people, and I'm taking prink culture 773 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: out of the context directly of Jackass. Sometimes people in 774 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: our lives go too far with pranks that aren't skateboarding 775 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: off the Empire Sity building, that aren't putting a fish 776 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: hook through your mouth and jumping into the shark in 777 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 1: vessel waters just general. I'm talking in the realm of 778 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: cat fishing. Yeah, is cat fishing a prank. I mean 779 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of the ultimate prank. I guess that's true. 780 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: I there is something about this being born out of 781 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: skate culture as opposed to being born out of comedy culture, 782 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: where they were like brought they found comedy, but it 783 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 1: wasn't like they weren't thinking super hard about the comedy. 784 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: I actually think it would be worse if it was 785 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: born out of comedy culture. I just want to go 786 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: on the record like, well, that's what I'm saying. I 787 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: fully agree. Yeah, anything good come out of comedy culture, really, 788 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I guess, like Joan Rivers by 789 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: the way, best answer I could think of the end 790 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: of the list name, I'm like, wait, something good must 791 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 1: have Yeah, I can't think of anything, because the thing 792 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: with comedy Georgia Stanza, the Herb.

Yeah, yes, yeah, literally something about like 811 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,320 Speaker 1: I feel like I've read an article and I'm pulling 812 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: from that with this comment. But it like is also 813 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,760 Speaker 1: a takedown of like suburban culture in a way, like yeah, 814 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 1: when did banmarj Era due to his family home he 815 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,280 Speaker 1: destroyed it? Well, that kind of goes along with skate culture. 816 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I am so uneducated about the history of 817 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 1: skate culture, but in my mind it is like I hope, no, 818 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,879 Speaker 1: I hope this is not wrong historically, but it's skate 819 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: culture to me, is like a way to do something 820 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 1: alternative within a suburban context. Right. I think maybe it 821 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: didn't start that way, but that's definitely what it has been. 822 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 1: That's at least like in the popular imagination in like 823 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: the nineties and two thousand's. That's what I would think 824 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: when I think of straight culture. It's like the one 825 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 1: alternative thing one could do when living in suburbia. Well, 826 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: because you have the violent architecture of suburbia, okay, the 827 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 1: physical three dimensional bounds that you're in with the escape, 828 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 1: what do you do to play in the violent architecture 829 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: of that? In the hostile architecture of suburbia, you grind 830 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: and and similarly, and I'm about to say something so 831 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: intelligent that this zoom might literally end. Similarly, what do 832 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 1: you do to escape the violent architecture of masculinity? Oh? Wow? 833 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: You literally self combust by destroying your masculine body. Yep. 834 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,280 Speaker 1: The only way out is through. I mean, when Johnny 835 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 1: Knoxville puts on his evil kinnevil, respectful referential, he knows 836 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: his place in history, he knows he's intertextually referring to 837 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: cultural moment. When he puts his evil canavel on and 838 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 1: he shoots him out of a rocket. He is jettisoning 839 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: himself out of his masculine through balance. Is the balance 840 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 1: to violently expel himself And you, I mean, can a 841 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: podcast be a book? That's what I want to know. 842 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: It's also like it is there's a there's a desire 843 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 1: to escape, Like basically it's like it's a desire to 844 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 1: escape the physical body. It's almost like the end goal 845 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: is like for them to do something so extreme that 846 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: their skeleton leaves the skin. And it's a desire to 847 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,800 Speaker 1: leave the corporeal form. I mean, And this is where 848 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 1: my straight walls come up speaking, because where my street 849 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 1: walls the pain and pleasure the play I personally I 850 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: can't maybe I can't get off on suspending myself from 851 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 1: the ceiling on my nipple rings. That's not for me. 852 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: But is there something in there, this queering of the 853 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: pain and pleasure? Like right, like what is each each 854 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: one of us has our version of doing jackass. LL 855 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 1: let me derive pleasure from watching Jackass, and so what 856 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: is what is that? It's it's almost like maybe but 857 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 1: then maybe it goes full circle and it's like in 858 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 1: the same way that they're you know, there's talk of 859 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 1: like penis envy. There's almost it's like an envy of 860 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,399 Speaker 1: being liberated enough to destroy your own body. We wish 861 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 1: we could be the kind of people that could participate 862 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,440 Speaker 1: in that ritual, but I know my limits. I mean, 863 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: I feel pain and I hurt. And the part that 864 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 1: of my story that I'm leaving out about my Crisp 865 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: Bonnis encounter, you thank you. I was going to bring 866 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: it back to that was did I have my friend 867 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: practice punching me in the bood before I posed it 868 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: the crisp Bonny? Was I able to handle it? No? 869 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,400 Speaker 1: Did it cause a ruptor of a blood vessel inside 870 00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 1: of one of my breasts that I was bleeding out 871 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: of a nipple for days days, a congealed dark brown 872 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: liquid coming out of it? Could? Was I a Jewish neurotic, 873 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: anxious jew from Long Island, not a skater, but an 874 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: anxious bookworm? Was not able to handle that body horror? 875 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what is that feminine? You know, not to 876 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: use speak so binarily, of course, but as someone who 877 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: is a woman with breasts, the shattering of my breast 878 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: when the fist punched fit, I did a blood vessel 879 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: bursting that caused a nipple leakage. And when I look 880 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: at it by my female, is I ne birth body 881 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 1: in that moment? Well? But I mean I don't. I 882 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 1: don't think so, because I think that they are also. 883 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're just trying a body just like they are. 884 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you're basically showing that you can be one 885 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 1: of the guys. I think maybe you underestimated the cost 886 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: of the pain that they do experience, right, I mean, 887 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: their nipples bleed constantly, They're always bleeding, they're always cut, 888 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: they're always broken in some way, and a lot of 889 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: them had issues and continue to I think probably because 890 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,720 Speaker 1: they're constantly doing things that cause them pain. What can 891 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 1: I say? Something problematically? Was I in that moment, for 892 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 1: lack of a better term, a pussy. I guess what 893 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm failing to understand is where is this? Where do 894 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: you see cowardice? Because what I see as someone who 895 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,919 Speaker 1: who literally like pushed herself to her limits and then 896 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: even when you saw that it was painful, still asked 897 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: Chris Panias too once again, do the thing you knew 898 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 1: would cause you pain. So I don't see any and 899 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 1: no nowhere did you give up when the nipple leaked, 900 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: I went into a pinky spiral. Ok. What that has 901 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: prevented me from ever pursuing Frank? Yeah? Ever, and this 902 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: it six years later, we're talking. I've had years away 903 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 1: from this to get a bird's eye view. And what 904 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 1: I've learned, I never want to feel pain. I don't well, 905 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 1: and that's your right. And I think you know, I 906 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 1: don't think you're a pussy as you say. I think 907 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 1: maybe you're just learning your boundaries and maybe even you 908 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 1: need to work your way up to that level of prank. 909 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you went sort of expert level when you needed 910 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: to just get like a pinch on the nipple or something. 911 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:52,479 Speaker 1: You shouldn't go full punch right off the bat. This 912 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: is a difficult question to say the least. It is 913 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: because we we a full circle now, because we came 914 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 1: into the conversation is jackass for boys? Uh huh? Well, 915 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 1: my nipple leaks? Right, I leave the circle, say, and 916 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: maybe it isn't. Maybe it isn't the culture for me? 917 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah who exists within? Right? Sure? But do you think 918 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 1: that has to But but it's it's up the way 919 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 1: you interpret that. You can interpret that as being about 920 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 1: your gender or you can interpret that as just being 921 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 1: about you not being part of that, about that not 922 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: being for you. I mean, you could just as easily 923 01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: have been a guy who tried to do something extreme 924 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 1: then I thought that it went too far and then 925 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 1: could not handle the pain. I flattened my personal experience 926 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: with my right. I mean it's I did that. You know. 927 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 1: George was the head of his l g pt Q center, 928 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 1: so he's things like this. I've had these kinds of conversations. 929 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: I know, I know the signs. I know when someone 930 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 1: is flattening their identity because of a you know, prank 931 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 1: based injury. You can see the schism. Okay, you can 932 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: see how the codified organ to me, the breast right 933 01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: at the time of the bleeding, the very codified symbol 934 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: oh my femininity, and I felt betrayed by that. Do 935 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,080 Speaker 1: you see what I mean? Yes? Yes, Well you did 936 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: symbolically choose kind of a symbol of cis gender, women, womanhood, 937 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 1: the symbol one could say exactly, which I think is 938 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 1: in keeping with the spirit of jackass trying to make 939 01:01:54,440 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: a wow. Okay, well you know what, boys, can I 940 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: call you that you know what this is? Actually? Maybe 941 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: think what maybe isn't just the year for music. I'm 942 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: not following. What else is going to happen this year? Yes, more, 943 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 1: maybe this podcast is really gonna pull podcasting that into 944 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the eternal realm. Well, just like in Jackass, they kind 945 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 1: of have to destroy themselves in order to liberate themselves. 946 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 1: They have to hurt themselves in order to feel empowered. 947 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: We had to declare the end of podcasting on this 948 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: episode to save the form. And if you are listening 949 01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 1: to this in the year you're, well, yeah, you're welcome. 950 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 1: This podcast is the phoenix that rises out of time 951 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: Best Podcast Year. Jennison ng as the phoenix rising from 952 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the ashes towards Best Podcast Time, calling it now I 953 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 1: love it, and you know, to be completely honest, we 954 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 1: have always been post podcast. We started as the first 955 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 1: post podcast podcast, and so I do feel it is 956 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: our role to show people what a podcast can look 957 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: like in a post podcast society. Much like Jackass, we 958 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 1: were ahead of our time in the sense that the 959 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: critical establishment was not ready for what we were doing, 960 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: which was kind of podcasting that was born out of 961 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the hatred of the art of podcasting, and so people 962 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: kept saying things like you're the top podcast of the year, 963 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 1: where in fact, we were trying to say, like no, 964 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 1: we're actually kind of trying to great an entire new 965 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 1: reality where the binary of podcaster and non podcaster no 966 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 1: longer exists. You know what I'm doing, It's keeping the 967 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: imagination open. Yeah, one Sam said so eloquently, can a 968 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: podcast be a book? You're opening new ground when you 969 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 1: say stuff like that. Well, yeah, it's post form. I 970 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: mean the idea of a podcast, as like an audio 971 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 1: file that gets uploaded to the cloud is not just 972 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: limited and it's oppressive, and not just to us the 973 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 1: people that exist within that audio file, but to anyone 974 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: who listens, and even anyone who doesn't listen. I mean, 975 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 1: everyone is implicated in the same way the Jackass influenced, 976 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: like how a generation of men thought about their bodies. 977 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and here's the podcast pot it inhibited small 978 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,959 Speaker 1: oppressive face. Well not just that literally, it's it comes 979 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 1: from the word iPod corporate literally like corporate. O my god, 980 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 1: it's like limiting its limited thing, and it's literally like neoliberal. 981 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: What about chet you cast exactly words? Infinitely, you have 982 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: to podcast presents a red pill blue pill situation? Pod 983 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 1: or do you cast this is definitely a pod. This 984 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: is more pod than Cast. This is more pod than cast. 985 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 1: Limiting Yeah, I think no, no, no, like, um, it's 986 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: creating a new like pod to exist within. I feel 987 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 1: in my mind POD is the limiting one and cast 988 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: is the is the right Sarah. But but Sam is 989 01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 1: saying it's giving community, thank you, thank you giving community, 990 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 1: and CAST is giving turkey girl. Okay, I'm like, this 991 01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 1: is in we actually I think need to wrap up. 992 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: We have cotton to such a place that I'm like, afraid, Sam, 993 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: don't be afraid. What happens when a pioneer so germs 994 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 1: on new territories? Sam, When you are the most afraid, 995 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 1: that's when you have to keep going. This is like 996 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: literally like Stevo before he jumped off the bridge while 997 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: his balls were tethered to a crocodile. I'm just like 998 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 1: the language you have both like pointed out how empty 999 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 1: all language is, and it is like making me like, 1000 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,280 Speaker 1: but it's also powerful and how we can continue to 1001 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,120 Speaker 1: like zoom out exactly no way that I'm like, how 1002 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: can we keep going? I can't believe this has gone 1003 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 1: this time. In the original point of the podcast, right 1004 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: when you guys were speaking. Yeah, It's like, is language 1005 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: empty or is it so meaningful that you can use 1006 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 1: it to do to, to do so to an infinite 1007 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 1: number of things? Empty because you are Daddy's girls eating 1008 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 1: vegetables by the pool, right right? Or is that eight 1009 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: dimensional dimensional edifice of language that we we only it's 1010 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 1: the it's the iceberg. We only see the tip of 1011 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: what that could be. We are far Sagan's flat land 1012 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 1: turn down a flat dimension, but there are dimensions unknown 1013 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to us. In that phrase when you see when you 1014 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: see someone posting, my dad, let me sit by the 1015 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,280 Speaker 1: pool because I ate my vegetables. That's the tip of 1016 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: the iceberg. And do you want to know what the 1017 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 1: rest of the iceberg is? Literally the history of language? 1018 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: My fucking god, this is insane. What is this? This 1019 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,919 Speaker 1: is music? This is the music language. Podcast cannot only 1020 01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: be books, they can be music of language. Well, I 1021 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: just want to congratulate both of you. Um. I think 1022 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 1: this has been so groundbreaking in a way that I 1023 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 1: think people will be um sort of like upset for 1024 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 1: like a day. Like I think they'll see the world 1025 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,439 Speaker 1: like two differently. It will be like they'll see the 1026 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: world two different They'll be like now, I have to 1027 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,559 Speaker 1: quit my job. Like now I need to like sort 1028 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,839 Speaker 1: of reset my life because I'm seeing through the matrix. 1029 01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 1: If you will, certainly, I think it will affect the 1030 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: stock market. Dal Jones found yet and of ditch, I 1031 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:41,960 Speaker 1: think al Jones did not understand the assignment. Dal Jones 1032 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: has never understood the assignment. No, absolutely not. Now Jones 1033 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 1: stays giving turkey girl person, next question, next question. Okay, 1034 01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,879 Speaker 1: so I'm not even kidding. I'm like profusely tide. I'm crying. 1035 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, intellectual work is like physically rigorous. It's also 1036 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: muscles like not to be like it's like a Monday night. 1037 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: I was sort of like, you know, what are we 1038 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,160 Speaker 1: going to be bringing to this podcast? Like it could 1039 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: be is you know, each one has a different mood, 1040 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,759 Speaker 1: and you never know when you're going to what just happened? 1041 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,680 Speaker 1: Sarah's looking chalk, but you never know when you're gonna accidentally, 1042 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,000 Speaker 1: um make a discovery.

Almost It's 1047 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: actually I think it like doesn't reflect well on us 1048 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: because it's like we're here thinking, we're in the trenches 1049 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,639 Speaker 1: of intellectual work and we're just waiting for our sushi.
