WEBVTT - Season 4 Starts Now!

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Season four starts now. Wow, it's incredible to be announcing

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>our fourth season of Stradio Lab, the smash hit runaway

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>podcast that buried Michael Barbarow.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sorry, babe, I've been noticing. I've been noticing a

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of guest hosts have been filling in lately. You know,

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>as an avid listener of the Daily haven't heard his

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>voice in a while. I wonder why.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Guess he's scared.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>So we're both, I would say in a here's what

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I actually think. I think we are both in a

0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>sort of lockdown zoom situation. I am at home, not

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>in the room I normally recorded, because, as fans of

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the podcast might know, there is a nest of pigeons

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 2>living in that window, and I have to wait for

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>them to in fact grow up and fly away. And

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>then you are in a room that is home in

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Michigan that is so echoey that you have to speak

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>in a soft voice otherwise it will be too echoe

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 2>So if you at I just want to say, for

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>anyone at home, if Sam doesn't sound excited that season

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 2>four starts now, that's actually literally because he's trying not

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>to be echoe Yeah, it's.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Not anything other than the fact that I'm just trying

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to be quiet because if I get too loud it

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.639
<v Speaker 1>sounds really echoey because I'm essentially an airport hangar.

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 2>It's actually crazy. And also, by the way, you are

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>wearing a like I want to say, like gay porn

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>football jersey, correct, and I am wearing a zip up

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>hoodie with no shirt.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>We're giving sex.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>It's actually crazy. Both, Like, even though we actually could

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>not be more excited for season four to start, our

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>affect and the way we are recording, it's almost like

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>we've given up.

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>No, it's that we've pivoted. Season four is all about

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>hush tones and sexy under currents.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And by the way, the reason we're both in

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>such a chaotics, messy bun place is because we're in

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>the middle of tour.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, our global tour, our international tour.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Because we feel like we're more than halfway through the tour.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>In fact, you know, I'll address one thing, which is

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>that normally we would have one of these episodes out

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>because we were coming back from a break and announcing

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that a new season is starting. Guess what, this time,

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>we didn't even take a break. We decided we were

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>having so much fun recording this podcast, both remotely and

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>in person and on stages across North America the continent,

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>that we refuse to take a break and we're going

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 2>to power through whether or not it kills us.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know. Oh, everyone was begging us. They said,

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you're on tour, like, surely you need to rest rest up,

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>rest up? And we said, Oh, really did Steve Jobs

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>rest up when he invented the iPhone? Oh?

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Really did did Steve Jobs rest up when he had

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to raise children? I don't think so, because I've read

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>his daughter's memoir.

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think he took a break for a

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>second because he was too busy making the iPhone and

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe raising the children.

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>I did not read the Yeah, and by the way,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't read it either. I just listened to a

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Fresh Air episode about it. So if that's not enough

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>for you, then I don't know what to tell you.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't have time to read Steve Jobs his daughter's

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>no more, because I'm on tour.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>When did Melinda Gates rest up when she was doing

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>her charity work around the globe?

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Melinda Gates has not stopped giving away money in approximately

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty five years and she certainly is not going to

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>stop now.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>The fact that when you look at her bank account

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>somehow it gets higher and higher is not your business,

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>quite frankly, because she's giving it away.

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>She's giving it away. She's a good person. A good

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>person wouldn't give away their money.

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>She's the first person ever make money from doing charity,

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and no one knows how that happens. And don't ask her,

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>because that's rude. Never ask a woman how her bank

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>account keeps getting bigger while she's giving away all her money.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm addicted to Bill and Melinda Gates because it's like,

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>what do you guys even do?

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I like, By the way, did you know they were

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.239
<v Speaker 2>my commencement speakers?

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Wait, no, they weren't. They were my boyfriends, my my

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>ex my ex boyfriend's commencement speakers. I was Michael Bloomberg,

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. But is I did watch their

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>big speech and it was the two of them together,

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>so it was a real actually talk about straight culture

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>to give a speech as a as a heterosexual couple.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>They were sort of like finishing each other's sentences.

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Finishing each other is Melinda Gates.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>And we finished each other's and I'm Melinda Gates.

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my commencement speaker was the governor I think of

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Virginia at the time. Oh, and he like two years

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>later got arrested. Like it was he was like the

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Republican guy and it was just like so clear that

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>he was Everyone was disappointed and it was just like okay,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like and then of course he got arrested.

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, to be honest, I mean, okay, what's worse yours

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>or Michael Bloomberg.

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh good point actually, because.

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Actually mine is I would say, an all time flop

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>commencement speaker.

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's pretty rough.

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.679
<v Speaker 2>My sisters with Sterling K. Brown. Isn't that fun?

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>That is fun? You know. I think there's a certain

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>chip on your shoulder that comes with getting a bad

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>commencement speak agree that you hold on to forever. We

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>is so embarrassing, but it's true because you hear about

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>people that have like amazing guests and they're like and

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that it defines them. But I actually think it makes.

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Might have been Anderson Cooper and it was like during

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>a sort of an exciting period where he was like

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>very gay.

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Hmm. I love that. So okay, So season four starts, Now,

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>what do you think people can expect from season.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Four, George, and they expect, you know, we've already started recording.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I have to say when I look at like, you know,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>we have a little wish list of guests you want

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to have. We have people that are in our back pockets.

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>We have people that were potentially even recording with in

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 2>person in Los Angeles when we go there for our tour,

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>for which tickets are available now on link tree dot com,

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Slash Radio Lab. And I'm thinking, I'm like, I'm like,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>we are spreading our wings. Like I almost feel like

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>we've reached the perfect balance of you know, comedy guests

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>versus sort of out of the box guests versus indie

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>cred guests versus mainstream cred guests versus you know, random

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>friends of ours that frankly shouldn't be doing the podcast.

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 2>What happened?

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>No, sorry, I thought I heard the garage door opening.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh someone's coming to your bunker. I was too echoey

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>in here, you're under arrest.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>The sound quality is horrible.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, the point is, I have never felt more confident.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is. It does feel strange for both

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>of us to not be raising our voice has passed

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.359
<v Speaker 2>a whisper but trying to sound excited.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I know it's tough. You guys just have to take

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>our word for it.

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You guys just have to take our word for it.

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>And I guess the best thing we could I think

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the things we can talk about a little bit,

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>just like for one minute, is just how much fun

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>we've been having on this damn tour.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's been a freaking blast from sea to Shining Sea.

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that the second Shining Sea. I'm considering Lake Michigan,

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Lake Michigan because we have not actually been to the

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>West coast yet.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>But we will be going to the third Shining Sea

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 2>very soon. Effect I mean, you're listening to this, then

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>it'll be a mere days.

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but no, it's been so much fun. I mean,

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>meeting people who have somehow listened to us in all

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>these places is amazing. It's crazy.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So I have to say, like, Okay, I'm gonna say

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>this without being rude to anyone else that we know,

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>but I'm like, when I see our audiences, I'm like,

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>these are exactly the people I want to be in

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>my community. People want to be friends with, you know

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>what I mean?

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Of course, because they're they're biting and cynical enough.

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>To be cynical enough, which is LGBTQ plus wall to

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 2>wall LGBTQ plus, as well as straight women and their

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>cool boyfriends, but actually mostly LGBTQ plus. And I mean

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>there were people at are Chicago show that had homemade

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>merch that was really well done, in fact, with a

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of fun handwritten font.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>It was actually giving Arrow's tour.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>It was giving eras tour there are. It's such a

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>good mix of you know, singles and couples and all

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>sorts of all sorts of love triangles and thrupples. I

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>believe the cast of Passages was that one of our shows.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>They have not figured things out yet. They were still

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 2>in character too, still in character.

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Also, you know we should say I have now met

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>members of your family at every single show we have done.

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I so this recording is coming literally one day

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>after you left my parents' house in Michigan. I you know,

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>how have you? How do you feel now that you

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>know this side of me?

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>It's actually well, first of all, the way I loved

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>your parents and you have not done them justice. I'm

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 2>sorry to say when I ask you know, what are

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>your parents like blah blah blah. I'm like, I'm imagining

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, Midwest quiet like oh oh hello, oh yes whatever,

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh we are talking. These are partiers, folks, we are talking.

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I am ready to go on one of your mom's

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 2>girl trips where she has wine in the train that

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>she was talking to us about. And sorry, if that

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>was an appropriate I should to mention that, but I am.

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>That's fine.

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you. We are doing a girls trip to Chicago.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Your dad so fun. The way that they're like, I'm like,

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I thought you would be the sort of crazy one

0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 2>in the family, not the case. You're the normal one.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm a normal one. It's true.

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean the fact the way your parents fully understand

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 2>like the importance of a bit. Like we were at

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.559
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant. So this is my last night in Michigan.

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 2>They take me to one of the sort of like

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>nice restaurants in your town. Okay, they are selling at

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant, they're selling hoodies that say the name of

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant. You and I make some little quip about them.

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>We finish our meal, we get out of the restaurant,

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 2>your parents are inside. We say what are they doing.

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 2>They probably ran into someone than you. You better believe

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 2>they were buying me a hoodie with a restaurant name

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>as a gag. I mean that is genius.

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was. I was actually understand that.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 2>That is the funniest and also most meaningful possible gift

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>they can give me. I mean, I also, I'm so

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm so lake pilled. I'm like, you know, all my life,

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I've considered lakes to be lesser bodies of water, and

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I am ready to frankly purchase a seaside home in

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Lake Michigan with the proceeds of this worldwide tour.

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, Lake Michigan really is that girl. There

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>was such an element of like, you know, I'm gonna

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>let her speak for herself totally, because as soon as

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>he has his toes in that water, he is going

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to be like Wow, I had no idea.

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 2>You let both Lake Michigan and your family speak for

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 2>themselves in a way that I actually I was like, wait,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I should do more of that. I feel like I'm

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>constantly trying to prove that my family is weird and quirky,

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>or trying to like sell people on the idea of

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, going to Greece in the summer, and it's like, actually,

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 2>if I just shut up and allow people to experience

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the things for themselves, then I won't have to be

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>tap dancing all around everyone. You know what I mean.

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can't help it. Prs in your blood.

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Pr is in my blood. From that one year I

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>did it and got paid hourly.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's hot. You can take the girl out of

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the PR firm, but she can't take you.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 2>And thank God for.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>That, and thank God for that.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 2>You know. Before we finished talking about try, I do

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>want to say, if you're listening to this, the West Coast,

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>as we said, is starting soon. So if you're in Seattle, Portland,

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco, or Los Angeles, head on rightour to linktree

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 2>dot com slash Tradio lab and buy those ticks. But yeah,

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>but otherwise I think we are just very excited to

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 2>keep doing this. We are so like I feel like

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>i've you know, we get a lot of like dms

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>and emails that legitimately make me laugh, teach me things.

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 2>We just posted this giant screed we got on the

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 2>concept of lunch on our Instagram. Yeah, tell you that

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>got more likes when we post the photos of ourselves.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm a little mad about that, but.

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>That did kind of hurt. To be honest, I was like.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Everyone is literally genius, genius, smarter than Sam and George.

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Get them on the pod, like they should take over

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>for Sam and George. We were like, okay, like we're

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>just trying to throw them a bone.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>We're just trying to lift up underrepresented voices.

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Like yeah, exactly, still people that don't have a pot.

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's one of the most underrepresented voices on podcasting.

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. Yeah, yeah by definition actually, so yeah, so yeah.

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I keep keep emailing us, dming us all gripes.

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.080

<v Speaker 2>listeners and say thank you because season because you know,

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously these seasons are a little arbitrary. I mean, who's

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>to say what separates season three from season four. But sometimes,

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, like when you're making New Year's resolutions, it's

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>nice to take stock of everything and be grateful and

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 2>give a little shout out to everyone who's been with us,

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 2>either from the very beginning or even from hell a

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of days ago when you saw us live in Minneapolis.

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>True true, true, Yeah, I think happy New Year to all.

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>We're seniors now, we're podcasting fourth year.

<v Speaker 2>Something tell us we're going to be sticking around for

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple more years because we didn't ask the big

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>chemistry exam.

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Me thinks we're going to be super seniors.

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Me thinks we're going to be super seniors.

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Folks.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, Sam, it's kind of crazy to not be in

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the same place.

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, we've like glued to each other for a bit.

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy almost to the point where I'm like, are

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>we so close now that it will be are we

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 2>so close that it will be like doing a podcast

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 2>with my blood brother and it might feel do we

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>need more Do we need more distance in order to

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>have something at least to bridge with our comedy? You

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean?

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I think this this next week we are not really

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>seeing each other.

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Actually, it's actually for we literally need to make

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 2>an effort to not talk as much so that we

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>so that things build up and then we start our

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 2>West Coast leg.

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And I think the West Coast leg is

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be a reuniting that will feel huge even

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>though it's only been one week totally.

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>So yeah. Seattle. By the way, if you're you're an

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>employee of Amazon based in Seattle or Nike based in

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Portland or I don't know if those are switched, but

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, we are always open to corporate sponsorships.

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh and not to be you know, ignorant, you know,

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>as a bit, but the way that I'm just like,

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>what is the difference between Seattle and Portland. I keep

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>being like, I keep like sort of being like it's

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>like Saint Paul Minneapolis. I keep being like the twin cities,

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>like they must be right next to each other, and

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like not really, but in my mind, I'm like,

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>they're they're the same, and I can't wait to find

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>their nuanced differences.

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, even my expectations where I was like, Okay,

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Portland is going to sell better than Seattle. Sorry to

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 2>be behind the scenes. You'll never believe this. Seattle is

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>selling better than Portland. I'm like, everything I have known

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 2>my entire life has been alive and we are actually

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>huge celebrities in Seattle and huge flops in Portland.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>So if you live in Portland, you know, speak up

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and tell tell them that we need your support. Tell

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>your neighbors, your friends, your family, that these gay podcasters

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>will die if you don't buy a ticket to their

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>big show.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.720

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.360
