0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.680

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>was actually something Esther said on the episode that was

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 2>named one of the top comedy moments of the year.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.440

<v Speaker 2>to say, which is actually more important if you think

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:25.880

<v Speaker 2>New Year.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, podcast starts now. Wow.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, we were just talking about the whole thing

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>of Jeremy Strong at some point in the last two

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>years saying the word dramaturgically and then everyone suddenly being like,

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the hell is this f sler on about?

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've tore into shreds for something.

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>He's an actor. That's like if you went to a

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>business meeting and someone was like, does anyone have the

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, metrics? And you were like, the hell is

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>wrong with you? And then you started chasing him with spears.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, we value anti intellectualism in this country, so in

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 3>a way that is disgusting.

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>It's also like, what what do you think makes him

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>such a good actor. It's the fact that he's insane

0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and went to Julliard.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, people were like, no, oh, he's a good actor

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 3>because he's on TV.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, you're thinking of Priyanka Chopra.

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Not everyone's Pianka Chopra. Do you yes? Do you

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>think acting is an art?

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Go?

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I do? Oh?

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 2>And in fact, the older I get, the more I

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>think maybe it's the only art in a in an

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>over in an overly media saturated environment where everything is

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>mediated and everyone is performing. I am sort of like

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>actors were so ahead of their time by being completely

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>fake and full of shit, because now that is actually

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>the only thing you can do to survive in this economy.

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 3>So you're saying that even when someone is another kind

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 3>of artist, now they are in a sense an actor

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 3>performing the role of that art.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Actors are what Internet users are based on.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean. It's like when you're

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>writing an email.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>It's in a long tradition that goes back to you know,

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the Rosetta Stone, Shakespeare. And yes you're not listen. I'm

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>not saying your email is going to win a Pulitzer.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>But if it weren't for all of that history, you

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>could not write an email that said can I have this?

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>By eod wow?

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>And in this similar way acting, you know, the Stella

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Adler method, Juilliard, Shakespeare, whatever, all of that was needed

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 2>for people to now be like unboxing my fit fat

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>fun box, because otherwise how would they know.

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 3>No, they wouldn't know how to say that they wouldn't

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 3>know how to perform tho.

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think like in each era, almost there's a

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>certain art form that defines that era. I actually, I

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>think almost like post war it was visual art. It

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>was like painting new ways of seeing whatever. I think

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>there have been times in the past where the defining

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>art form is writing, sure, and everyone is rallying around

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the new hot book. And I think now the defining

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>art form of our era, Unfortunately I'm not saying I

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>agree with it is acting.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>That's tough for me because I don't know if I

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 3>do value it as an art.

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So here's a question for you. Do you value photography

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>as an art?

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Great, because that's the other one that defines our era,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>because every when you post a photo of a croissant

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that is basically based on you know, Nan Golden, right.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 3>You're in a language, you're having a conversation with the past, present,

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>in the future. Yeah, exactly, I guess. Yeah, I guess

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I consider photography and art more so.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>More so than acting. Yeah, that's interesting.

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you think photography and acting which one is straighter

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and which one's gayer?

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Acting is gayer, photography is straighter. Maybe that's why I

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>respect it more.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting, I think, of course, that's like I get

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 2>exactly where you're coming from, to sort of push back

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>on it as an intellectual exercise. Of course, photography is

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>so voyeuristic.

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you know it's sure gay.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Guy in the corner, yeah, being like they don't know

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>that I read. Yeah, but I'm going to take a

0:04:58.480 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>photo of this party and it's gonna have an air

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>of mel I'm invisible and ye, and yet I am

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the eye. And then acting is so action based that

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of like a guy swinging his stick around.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like that's exactly why it's gay, because

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a gay guy swing. That's interesting.

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I feel like the photographer is such a

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 3>straight like that.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Moody straight American beauty.

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, don't look at me, don't look at me, but

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I need you all to I still need to have

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 3>the highest in status here.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Photographers are in cells and they think they are

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing the world like correctly.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, whereas actors have no subjectivity and need lines in

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>order to even know what to say and to be

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>worshiped in a door, worshiped on the door, Polly bisexual

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>of course, all right, I think I'm I think you're

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 2>winning me over.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's nice.

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Should we bring in our guest trained actress and photographer?

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that could be an amazing idea. Am I

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>am I rushing?

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I'm trying to think if there's anything else.

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's a shorter intro than.

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, then we but we can keep going.

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 3>But I actually think to not bring her in now, Yeah,

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 3>that would be pretty toxic. Okay, can you imagine?

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just feel like, you know, there are other

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 2>intros where we spend fifteen minutes trying to get to

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>a point where we're debating whether acting or photography is

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>gay straight. And the fact that we got there so fast,

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, let's celebrate by basically paring a party in

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the form of inviting one more person to our conversation.

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I think that's such a beautiful idea.

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, please welcome our friend Estra Phallic.

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Hello. So right off the bat, Esther, what is your

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>take on everything that has been said so far? So

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>glad you asked, because it's been really hard for me.

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>And then I could sense that I could sense that, Yeah,

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>we're sort of bating you. I'm thinking about words that

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>have been in my mind recently. Object and subject.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>The way those two words are on my mind twenty

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>four steps.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying because I think what we're

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>saying here is is that I think in acting, you're

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.679
<v Speaker 1>insistent upon, you're turning yourself into the object. Yes, correct.

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>In photography, no wait, sorry you're sorry, you're the subject,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you're the subject, no way, No. In photograph photography you're

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>looking for a subject. You're no, no, aren't no. In

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>acting you're the object. Way, but you're the subject in

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>photography because it's like, but the.

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Photographer is not the subject, his subject is the subject

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>or sorry, okay.

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>The photographer is like like, oh shit, I guess I

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know what.

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>No, but but you've opened a door.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>But I've opened a door. I guess I do know.

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Subject an object and object? Okay, so they're not let's

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.239
<v Speaker 1>mutually exclusive. Let's go back to basics. Subject and object.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Which one to you is straighter and which one is gayer?

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean object is gayer? Ye? Right? Because it like

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the way is an object, Like you're like the forum

0:07:55.080 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>being like acted upon. Absolutely, And so that's why phtographer,

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's a subject. They're the subject because

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>they're like, they're like capturing the object.

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>So it's a misnomer to call the subject of the

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>photograph the subject of the phograph.

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're the object.

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Without the photographer, they would just be like a literal

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>random person sitting on a stool.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Right in the middle of a room. Which is why

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it's correct, frankly that we were saying he for a photographer.

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, because then we were saying she for actor, right,

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>because to have agency that's sort of masculine.

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Of course, this culture, in this culture, why didn't build

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>this world? No, have agency? Have not seen one succeed yet?

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And then an.

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Actress, yes, yes, I actually think you know how sometimes

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>a serious women actor will say actor, like as you know,

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>charlie'ster as an actor. I actually think women should say

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>actress and men should also say actress. I want to

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>see Robert de Niro say, you know, as a young actress,

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I really felt like I already understood what I was

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to say.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that would be so amazing. And then we could

0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>have five It could be like best exactly best butch

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>best yeah, best mask. We're gonna have like best high

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>fem performance of the.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I would love that actually to not not necessarily get

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 2>rid of gender categories, but interpret gender and through a

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>more queer lens exactly.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Genitals, get him out.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Of the genitals, get him out of there. And it's

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>just like, are you butch? Are you fem im soft butch?

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Yes, best supporting bottom. I was going to say, twink, bear, bear,

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and bear is like we're not talking and when you

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>say bar, it's not like.

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about like a hairy man. Like Judy Dench

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 2>can give a bear performance. She's a good actress, you know.

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Judy Dench could give a bear performance. I

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>think I think Charlee's could give a bear performance. I

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think Hathaway.

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>You think Kate Blanchett, she like giving I would performance.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Whereas I think, here's what I'll say, the whale twink performance,

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, tearing up right now, that's so like

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>what's on the scale. That's not what it's about the

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>performance performances, And that's the thing.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I think Darren Aronofsky frankly was filming it

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>like a bar performance, and that is why he that

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.319
<v Speaker 1>is his flaw as a director. In that same moment,

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>exactly but but Brendan Fraser, I mean he understood the twink.

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 1>He understood that he brought the twink. Yeah, whoa, that's

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of crazy. Yeah, it's why there's like something salvageable

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>about that movie. The first five minutes made me want

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 1>to throw up out of like disgust for how abhorrent

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it was. No, it is.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It is actually a completely important movie. And yet I

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>am on record of saying I was on a plane

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I watched and I cried.

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I cried. Ya, Wow, I haven't seen the movie yet.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 2>You know something actually like don't walk. It's very twink

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 2>for something to be abhorrent and yet make you cry. Yeah,

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I do not to really dig so deep.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Been to this bit that we.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Run well well, first of all obviously Madam Web, but

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 2>also I was thinking, is you know this episode will

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 2>probably come out around the Oscars? And I was thinking,

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 2>is there a way to sort of use this new

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>vocabulary we have created to think about the best.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Performance of the year?

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow? Wow, like is Killian Murphy's Oppenheimer performance?

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I would say soft, butch I was gonna say lesbian first? Lesbian? Yeah, yeah,

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you weren't even asking No, Yeah, that's.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Not if you think he is doing gay guy performance,

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you literally need to go back to the American Film Academy.

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's not straight guy either. I think this is

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>really I mean, I think.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>The question is, is is it? I would say it's

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>more soft butch than like IM to me, I.

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Think you're well, I think you're right. I actually think

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 1>you nailed it. I don't think I have much more

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to say, Like in a soft butch, it's like.

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's maybe not it doesn't make good podcast materials.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Just fully agree with you, but yeah I.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Agree, or honestly, it's it's even giving a little like

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's frankly giving a little a fab non binary, like

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the poetry.

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Reading one hundred person, you know what I mean, yeah,

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the little hat, the little hat, yeah, little hat.

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah. So you know that that's certainly something for

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>your listeners to explore for their as they take this episode.

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 2>That could be a really huge win for representation if

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 2>an a fab non binary performance wins Best Actor.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I mean that would be so groundbreaking,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 3>which is also probably why we loved.

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>We loved Appenheimer. Yeah, we really loved Uppenheimer.

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>We do we stay on up. Okay, So I loved

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the first hour because that's all I saw, because I

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>saw it because no one knows how to project film anymore.

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>And it was when I saw it, it was like it

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>was like moving around, like moving around. Oh wow, so

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I like got my money back and then I just

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>like never found another time. Was it in New York City? Yeah? Yeah,

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 1>well spoiler in Square South.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Just in terms of as a film, I think it well.

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But he does create a bomb.

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 3>That's complicated because he's he succeeds, but at what cost?

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>At what costs? So that's where it's kind of messy

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 1>as a narrative, and that's where we got back into

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 1>soft butch territory.

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know, is it problematic to say that, like

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>that performance is soft butch a fab non binary when

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>in facted to someone who.

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Has created so much destruction.

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>In the world, Like, are we being are we being

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>almost like conservative by being like, oh yeah, Oppenheimer, known.

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>For murdering so many people through.

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:38.359
<v Speaker 2>His inventions, sort of is a transnary.

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think we should have a world where

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 3>a non binary can be.

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Back exactly if we can't put them on a pedestal

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>like fab non binary people will never cause world.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Bomb better than mess yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Period. Wow.

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh wait I have something. Okay, first two things, Okay,

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 3>what do we want to say? What Dakota Johnson's performance.

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Was Madam Web?

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well okay, so Estra has not seen Madam Webb yet, Yeah,

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 2>but wants to. So we're not going to be We're

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 2>not mad at her, we're not having seen it.

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see it. I haven't seen the Whale, but

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean I can't comment exactly.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, of course, yeah, but unlike the Whale, you know,

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Madam Web is a nuanced portrayal of a woman that

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 2>is discovering her powers.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's really amazing Adam.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Webb, I certainly think, and I will try not to

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>spoil anything when she becomes Madam Webb with the glasses

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that is high fem.

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it is a it's specifically thirty something gay

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 3>guy performance.

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh interesting.

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's so like, I don't know, like, it's

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 3>so like bored.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>It's the drag race contestant that thinks they're above it.

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know what about this? Is it bisex

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a woman? Well so that was actually my first thing. Actually,

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>here's my person yeah, by sexual assists woman. Ye yeah, obviously,

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>web if you were to come here I try to.

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Friend, I would actually make me lave in the studio.

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 2>There has never been a more cis woman. Yes, yeah,

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 2>so I think my instinct was to be like, before

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>she discovers her powers, it's bisexual cis woman who's in

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>denial better sexuality. And then she has her powers and

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>that means she's bisexual but still married to a man.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Well that was of her whole deal. That that's a

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 3>character where it was like I have powers sort of yeah,

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 3>like she never really had powers.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So what I understand about like her powers is that

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>she can see sort of in the future kind of

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and is the sort of tea okay, okay, okay, Well,

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>so isn't that a queer narrative, Like when you begin

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to understand your queerness, like suddenly you're like, oh, I

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>can envision a future for myself. Wow, So it's a

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 1>coming out narrative. Yeah, Wow, she couldn't.

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>She was like she was like her like, yeah, she's okay,

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>but mother can also be I mean a lot of

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>things and a lot of things. I mean, she could

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>be just like an older lesbian that has a younger

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Daughter daughter.

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean the character was kind of giving ace in

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 3>a big way.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's interesting. Well, she doesn't have a love interest,

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>which is key, and she actually has a male best

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 2>friend that is in no way sexual and it's Adam Scott.

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna cry. Yeah.

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I think girl being best friends with Adam Scott

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>is a little ace.

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think so little, isn't it. Yeah.

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I actually think Adam Scott, who I am on record,

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 2>is finding hot. And I don't think he himself is

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>ace as a person, but I think his energy is ace.

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>There's something like safe. Oh the media treats him a yes.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know.

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Even when I said I found him hot, everyone we

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 2>were with was like almost like to punch me in

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the face.

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, they started they started reving. I was scared. Yeah. Wow, wow,

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>this has been I've learned so much.

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the other thing I wanted to talk about, which

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.120
<v Speaker 3>we is maybe boring potentially. I think in the same

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 3>way that Sleigh had its moment of like post post

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 3>irony whatever, I think period is in that now.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow. Interesting.

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 3>I actually used to be like, you know, period is

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 3>like like I was almost like I don't say it

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 3>like that's too and now I'm like, there's distance from

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 3>it where it to me is such a funny punctuation.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Now yeah, and I'm kind of addicted to it, I know.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>And I actually feel like like Sleigh and Period were

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of some of the first ones that I feel

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>like I understood really how to say, like you know

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>what I mean and the fact I'm like grieving that, yeah,

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that was that was my madim Web moment, you know,

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's a future where you could say Sleigh, yes, yes, amazing,

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I went to musical theater school and

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>not to open a can of worms. I went to

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 1>musical theater school and people were saying, like, Gorge at

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>that time, that's tough, and I didn't. It was like

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>code to me, Like it was so baffling. I was like, Gorge,

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>like how do you say what I mean? But like

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>slam Period, I was like, yeah, like that in my body,

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, yeah, and now it's gone, Like how

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>do y'all deal with that?

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there are certain words I feel actually this

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 2>way about Darling where I keep so many years into

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 2>my life as an out and proud gay man.

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Period, I.

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Keep being like, maybe this is the time darling will

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 2>stick for me. Like I'll say hello to someone and

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 2>be like, hi, darling, and it never sounds correct.

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Never darling. No, I can't say darling.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.640
<v Speaker 3>That's a different style and lingo. It's like I can't

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 3>do that. You want to be an old gay guy?

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you get a little gray. When I go darling,

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>it takes time to turn ripes. Yeah, yeah, I do

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>see it for you, absolutely. Yeah. I think if the

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 1>impulse is there, it's because it's there, you know. But

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had my Madam web moment of like seeing

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a future in which Darling is your gorge, where you're like,

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I see it, I hear it, but it's not for me. Yeah.

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like now you can say gorge? No? No,

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm feeling actually very like, what's the opposite of

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 1>scene right? Invisible and invisible? Right now? Yeah, it's tough,

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing, ding.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 2>This is your invisible girl moment rather than is that

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the one from The Incredibles and Visigirl and visis yeah, yeah,

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Well it's a sort of spectrum between Madam Webbin and

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Visy Girl. Madam web not only are you seen and

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 2>being being seen and seeing, but you can see different

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.679
<v Speaker 2>time periods, different futures, different Oh my.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>God, girls, all sort of connects, all connects, we all

0:19:55.560 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>of us. What are some words that you say? What

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>are some words that I say?

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have like a period I have been able

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 3>to say recently because I feel there's enough distance from

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 3>actually saying.

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeahtrict and irony.

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I do think Queen is just grandfather, and we say

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Queen do every time we start a text conversation, it's

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:14.120
<v Speaker 2>hey Queen.

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a classic. I think Queen will never die.

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I long live long. Yeah.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually had a moment some words I say, So,

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 2>that's such a great question someone we know. I believe

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it might have been just Tom posted that he doesn't

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 2>like when sis people say king to him, and I

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>was actually thinking about it, and I was like, I

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.160
<v Speaker 2>wonder if here's what's going on in my head. Let's

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>say I'm talking to someone, maybe a trans mask person.

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 2>My instinct is, as with every I call everyone queen,

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 2>So my instinct is to be like, hey Queen. Then

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 2>I will in that microom and catch myself and be like, well,

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>they probably don't want to be referred to as queen

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and so then I will switch it fast to king.

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.719
<v Speaker 2>But then that actually is worse because it sounds condescending

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's you being like, yeah, I'm affirming you, I'm

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>affirm in you.

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow, And I really I had to sit with that.

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I almost text suggests but that I was like, that's

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>not gonna. I was like, I was like, wait, I

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 2>have to start this conversation. I was being very like

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.880
<v Speaker 2>straight woman who learns about issues.

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>For the first time.

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I was like, wow, you really never stopped learning.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>You never stopped learning. I can actually speak to this please.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I had a good friend of mine who she's a

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>sis woman and I'm not going to say who she is,

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>but she's been on Broadway. Yeah, it's past. Yeah, it's

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:44.879

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:50.199
<v Speaker 2>It's Sutton Foster. I would love it if I came

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 2>out that Sutton Foster was a huge term.

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh honestly, I wouldn't. Okay, I want, I want, but

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like I know it. So you know a

<v Speaker 1>early issue in my transition, maybe like six months, she

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:17.159
<v Speaker 1>was someone who was always like very supportive and you

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:21.960

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>take it as a microaggression or anything like that because

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>like I had been friends with her long enough, I

<v Speaker 1>this is yeah, So like I and I there is

0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a to bring it back to Spider

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Man like six sense, like a Spidey sense, like you know,

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't speak for everyone. I know when the word

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>dude is yeah yeah, my god, Like I mean I

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 1>can I know when someone genering me correctly is like

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:20.959
<v Speaker 1>aggressive is doing it yeah yeah, just like I mean

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes like my pronouns are she her and I do know,

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>like like there's like some days that feel aggressive, you

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying.

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so probably your queen not to I should hope.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think probably will not read his offense.

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:37.760
<v Speaker 1>No, what, yes, I don't.

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the thing, of course, is like, no one

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.479
<v Speaker 2>is going to be like, wait, queen, so you think

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm a woman? Right, No one is gonna say that.

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But but you know sometimes someone might. Someone might. That's true,

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>someone might. Yeah, it's a good point. You never know that, honey,

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to a college campus. Can't say, oh my god,

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>so a sense of.

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 2>That part that we have been really well, that part

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't pull up.

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't but say that, No, boots, boots is complicated.

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Boots is complicated. Boots are complicated. Boots are complicated.

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I was, I'm feeling so insane suddenly whenever, Oh my god,

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, there hasn't been a good song about boots

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 3>in a while.

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That's actually, this is something I've been feeling in my heart.

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not insane. Okay, these bats are made for and

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>remember you two put on your boot, on your sexy boots.

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:39.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is a bad one, but I mean

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>rest in this. Maybe will put a boot in your askets.

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>So boots have become conservative, Well, I guess we need

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a boots song.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>We need feminist, feminist boots song.

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, Chapelone should do it. When she does a

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 3>boots song, it'll be great.

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think that's really insightful. Yeah, I think that's

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>really insight I could even see an fylkne So I'm

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 1>actually a little scared that, Like, well, I think we

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 1>might be past the point of Boots song because like

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>it reads a little consumerist. Frankly, it's like, why are

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we going to be empowered by this by footwear? Right? Yeah?

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Empowered by footwear in this economy? I don't think so

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>unless it's like, you know, the boots are a symbol,

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the boots are a symbol your armor?

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Or what if it's post ironic and the album is

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>literally called Empowered by Footwear and it's about how we

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:29.920
<v Speaker 2>can never be fulfilled.

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh wow, it's a commentary that.

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Actually, Okay, who would release Empowered by Footwear? Because actually,

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's chaperone anymore.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:42.400
<v Speaker 1>That's where I mean. I can imagine like Katy Perry

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 1>trying it's like girl, yeah, come on, that's very change

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the rhythm.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 2>It's very change to the rhythm. Yeah, okay, it's Katy Perry.

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Well she needs she's we've been you know, I mean

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 2>a comeback.

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 3>She could do that or a normal Boot song, or

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>she could have a Boot song and it would be fun.

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a Boots concept album where each song is a

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 2>different take on Boots.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>And what they are saying could be bad. Kind of

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>like those old those those Christmas albums with the Keith Haring.

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah like that. Wow. Yeah, there's literally no

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.360
<v Speaker 1>good art anymore. Superiod that part.

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Actually, it's actually crazy, it's really crazy. Wait, we need

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to do it first singing because I'm actually so eager to.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 3>It's okay, But I also have one more thing to

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 3>answer your question of what am I saying now?

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I have one.

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm an answer also going hog. I've combined going hog

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:36.399
<v Speaker 3>wild and going ham into just saying going hog and

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 3>I actually love it.

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 1>You dropped my jaw with that one. Damn. Wow, that's

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 1>really cool. You always have to be inventing. I do

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>have one more and okay, I'm trying to use well yes,

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, George, You're really good at it. Thank you. Yeah,

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you do it. Subtly it tastefully. I actually do feel

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 1>like if I haven't vocally warmed up, it might not

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 1>because you kind of got a flip a little bit.

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.239
<v Speaker 1>The music that was actually a really good one.

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's kind of scary.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you ever see someone with training and you're like, oh,

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:10.880
<v Speaker 3>I shouldn't try.

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's let's do a first segment.

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Our first segment Esther is called straight Shooters, and in

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 2>this segment, we gauge your familiarity with in complicity and

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 2>straight culture by asking you a series of rapid fire

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.199
<v Speaker 2>questions where you have to choose one thing or another thing.

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>And the one rule is you can't ask any follow

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>up questions about how the game works, and if you do,

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>we will get violent.

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:40.400

<v Speaker 3>Okay, being deflowered or being empowered, And yeah, they're different.

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>He's arguing that they're the same. I am not.

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Being deflower our father, who aren't in heaven. Or my

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 2>mother is fifty seven. My mother is fifty seven. Wow,

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 2>that was a performance. I thought that was a really

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>good performance. I'm trying to think. So we rank our

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>guests from zero to one thousand doves?

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you know what I'm But here's what I'm dealing with.

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 1>What is it? You know?

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought that was an incredib performance. I want to

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>say one thousand doves. Yeah, but I feel like we've

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 3>been so easy on our guests recently.

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I know I've been thinking that too, Like it really is.

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's an article today about Michiko ko Kotani,

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the New York Times book critic, who used to.

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Do this or come up now.

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 2>To be clear, I have not read this article, but

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I did see the headline and the subs. I believe

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that the argument is sort of like she used to

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 2>be such a harsh critic and now she's gone soft.

0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, are we kakutaniing?

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 1>We're kakutaniing.

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean we're we used to be Pitchfork in two

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 3>thousand and seven and hour Pitchfork in twenty twenty four.

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 2>We're literally Pitchfork in twenty twenty four giving Taylor Swift's.

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Eight eight point two. Yeah yeah, I mean a thousand doves,

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 1>one thousand doves. Okay, thank you so much.

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Caught us in our kokutani present day in Michico ko

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 2>kotani Yeah yeah.

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, because we've been cruel in the past. The past.

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>We gave Chris Murphy like a three hundred. Well he

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>needed to do, he needed to do that.

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Look, people think, oh, you know, we're friendly, we see

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.880
<v Speaker 3>each other. Oh oh, they won't give us a tough score.

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah we will. And I honestly I was ready for

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever you brought. I was ready for whatever came. I

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know what it's it's I'm gonna survive.

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing, if there's a negative thing I

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 2>could point out in your performance.

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>It's actually the.

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Lack of You were so ready and so prepared that

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 2>it almost felt like there was a lack of stakes

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>because I was like, nothing I will say will make

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 2>you confused or make you sort of like, you know,

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like flounder.

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow, so you're saying there was no danger.

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 2>It was a little bit like, you know, this is

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:49.959
<v Speaker 2>sort of how I f helt about the movie Past Lives.

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I felt like, yes, I understood what it was trying

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 2>to do, and I thought it was great, and I

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 2>thought Grittily was great, but it had a bit too

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 2>tidy of a bow on it where I was like,

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I know exactly what it's doing and where it's going.

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think potentially you gave a Past Lives performance.

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>How does that make you feel? That makes me feel

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I have something to work on. I have somebody to

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>work on, and I think that that's really cool. Yeah,

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean?

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think it is is, you know, Gretely again,

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>someone I love, and someone who's performance I loved didn't

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 2>ultimately get nominated for the Oscar. So I think what

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with is a performance that is critically acclaim

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 2>that everyone loved, but that didn't make the.

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Cut, and everyone's saying, like, what's her next out? Exactly,

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>what's her next outing? Yeah, and they're looking back and

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 1>they're like, wait, Gretelee was in that, but this wasn't

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the one.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 2>It was sort of like Amy Adams and Junebug, like

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 2>that was her first big performance.

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, although she sure Wait past lives, now, that's straight culture.

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I have to I have to agree.

0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 2>And again I'm saying, okay, okay, no, I think it

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 2>is straight culture, not in a derogatory way, just sort

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of like it really is a quintessentially straight love story

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>in a big I So I saw that.

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It was one of my first dates with a with

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a previous partner of mine, who of course is non binary,

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and we were no monogamous. Wow, congratulations, thank you so much.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 1>So we were watching it just being like, why don't

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they just right just do that?

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>No, it's like what but I almost appreciate, like there's

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 2>something about the clear cut steaks and limitations of a

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 2>straight love story that is what makes you know, ancient

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Greek tragedy in Shakespeare so compelling. Yeah, and everyone was

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>just Polly in Romeo and Julia, like, what's the point

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 2>it's like cell phones.

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just about to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah almost it's like too many movies would be

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 1>ruined with Paul yea, yeah, we can't. That is true.

0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna start having to do everything superiod piece in

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 3>tw thousand and three before you know. Okay, no polyamory,

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 3>no cell phones. That way the movie can have some steaks.

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay.

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm reading I'm reading a book and this is

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>actually a sort of related to this. I'm reading a book.

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I won't say who it's by, but it's no, no.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>You would know. You wouldn't know, you would know her.

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Jk Rowling.

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>No, no closer to Salaryony than Jake. But honestly, I

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.959
<v Speaker 2>would say, were right down the middle. We can, we can,

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll bleep it. Why why do you want to keep

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 2>her private?

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 1>She's a public because I am about to criticize way

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and we all saw the Tina fay Klip got it

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly basically.

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>In this book, the main character is a mother and

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 2>she has a I believe six year old child, and

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 2>she refers to the child with them pronouns, not because

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the child has like come out as a non binary,

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>just because this is a progressive mom who wants.

0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 1>To refer to her child in that way the child,

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>which is something that I quite.

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Literally agree with politically, I am on board. And yet

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading this book and it I'm so aware of

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 2>it that I'm like suddenly thinking too much about this

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 2>mom character. I'm like, oh, classicland mom, classic, Like I'm

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 2>unable to see like other elements of her because that

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 2>is so jarring. And I think that is what the

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 2>polyamory thing and the cell phone thing does to movies.

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? Wait, wait when you see

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:27.760
<v Speaker 1>what what do you mean? Exactly?

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Like like when it's it distracts me when it's the

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 2>like when she's saying like I changed their diaper, it

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 2>takes me a second to be.

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Like oh what, oh right, Oh that's what your right, right.

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.919
<v Speaker 1>And polyamory in a film will take you out. Yeah

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>if it were, Yeah, if it were, you'd be like, okay,

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.240
<v Speaker 1>like we got it on the pulse.

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 3>It would be about like polyamorous race car driver exactly

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 3>like you'd only be able to focus on the poly

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:54.239
<v Speaker 3>The fact that.

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I think this is what I'm talking like, this one

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:00.360
<v Speaker 2>is doing all this other stuff that is the actual

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 2>plot of the book, and I keep like, for one

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 2>second too long thinking about the which is interesting. Which

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:10.719
<v Speaker 2>then I'm like, all right, so I'm conservative little yeah,

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:12.479
<v Speaker 2>or about to be. We're about to be, We're about

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to Maybe I'm having I'm Adam Web moment where I'm like,

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm voting for Santa.

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, maybe we'll take that out.

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's too bad, because I want to do a

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I want to discuss the film about the polyamorous racecar drivers.

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I just think you know, the race car

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>driver and the pit crew is all I think they would. Well,

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it's either like they would win for every time because

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 1>their love is so strong, so powerful, or they would

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>always lose because they're always making out the race stop kissing.

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>There is such a thing as too much love. Love

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>is love except for a race car. That's the tagline.

0:35:57.040 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 2>That's that's there her web next, love is except a

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 2>race got race car driving?

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Really?

0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 2>You know how some things just are like almost too

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.239
<v Speaker 2>obvious of a commentary, like for everyone to just be

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>like eating hot dogs while watching fossil fuels being burned

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and then the cars have like advertisements on them.

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay not but you still like Portland mom, right, now yeah,

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:26.319
<v Speaker 1>what also are you do you start turning red with someone?

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 1>I guess what. My child Celiac is having a great time.

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Should we get into the topic. Yes, okay, esther, Yes,

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 1>what is your topic? And what do you think is

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 1>straight about it? Okay, I'm so excited to be uh

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about this today. I'll tell you what just really

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 1>quickly one of my rejected topics because I did a

0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:53.319
<v Speaker 1>heavy vetting process before I arrive here today. Who did

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>you vet with yourself? Yeah? I mean just me? Oh

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah.

0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Now that's Madam Webb to be like having a conversation

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 2>with another version.

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You're literally a projecting yes, yes, okay, and now I've

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that to look forward to. I didn't know that was

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:08.319
<v Speaker 1>an element. She can split.

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 2>She does it once, she does it once, and honestly

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:12.920
<v Speaker 2>like not well for now.

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, oh my god. Adam Sandler is certainly like one,

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. But but that's there's what

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 1>is there to say that hasn't been said? But well

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot actually, and and you know, I'll just leave

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.359
<v Speaker 1>you all with that tease and you know the people.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But what I wanted to talk about was museums with

0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:43.760
<v Speaker 1>slides in them. Right, And so that's how I'm referring

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to this, this sort of catch all phenomenon of museums

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that you know, the first level is these instagram museums.

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Museum of ice Cream. Now, there's the Museum of Broadway.

0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:02.760
<v Speaker 1>There's there's like a Blue Museum, Museum of Sex, Museum

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of Sex, right or not you mentioned before. Yeah, So

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 1>then you start getting into like some of the like

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>nineties like Experience Economy, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Madame Tussau's, all of these like you know, forty second

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Street sort of things that you know, we saw them

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:22.800
<v Speaker 1>as ghosh then, but now they've been sort of classed

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>up in this way for this certain like millennial uh

0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you know email job, yeah, consumer ybsolute, And I'm just like,

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>are you what's so these are your museums. You're afraid

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of culture? Well, you're afraid of history.

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 2>To be living in New York City and even contemplate

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 2>going to the Museum of ice Cream. Literally get on

0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the train and go to any museum.

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:56.399
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard because to me, I they seem fun.

0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:59.279
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, don't put me.

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I just can see how someone feels so lost and lonely,

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:07.120
<v Speaker 3>that they would find themselves seeking out that culture where

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 3>they would be like, I don't know who or what

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I am and so, and instead of sitting with that

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 3>and trying to look inward, they're like, so, I guess

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to go to the using of ice cream,

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:18.359
<v Speaker 3>and well.

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.080
<v Speaker 1>You have a really big heart, you can see it

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that way. Yeah, and I yeah, but what you're giving us,

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is what you're giving us. Don't yuck there? Yum, No,

0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I would. I would never ever do that in my life.

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying there's something to me. There's like a

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.840
<v Speaker 3>sadness there, which, sure I don't always feel like pathetic.

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 3>I pick and choose.

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually think that there's something there because I think about, like,

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, before I was a woman, I was a

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Disney adult. Oh was that much?

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 2>So your transition also included letting go of your Disney

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 2>adult past?

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, I mean not that I like, you know,

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I still like kind of I'm a musical

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:04.840
<v Speaker 1>theater person. It's like, you know, I still sort of

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>love What can I say? I love magic? Okay, guilty?

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>What is your relationship with Disney? Now? I have to know,

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean my relationship with Disney now is I love

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>musical theater basically, and you know I love the Muppets.

0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>You love doing a whole New World at karaoke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>But I remember like one time, one time I in college,

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I was I was in a class my senior year

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 1>called Disney's Lands. I had to write an essay to

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 1>get in. There were there were like twenty people from

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the school. It was at University of Michigan, and like

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 1>they wanted one from like all these different majors, all

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:51.879
<v Speaker 1>these different.

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, they got together like an infinity war cast literal

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:58.160
<v Speaker 2>order to have different perspectives on Disney.

0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, on specifically the parks. Oh my god. Like there's like,

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you know people that are like business majors, architecture, art history,

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 1>like musical theater.

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, Like I knew someone who was a religious

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:13.479
<v Speaker 2>studies major whose thesis was on Disneyland as a religious space.

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, there's a mecca and you walk around. I

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>mean it's sort of like, well that's one page. That's

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a really good point and it's a god yeah, Donald

0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:35.480
<v Speaker 1>is Joe. But yeah, yeah, but like we I mean,

0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 1>as like the culmination of the of the class, we

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 1>went to Disney World and we like study, we like

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 1>talked about it and stuff, and I stayed one extra

0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>day and I thought it would be kind of cool

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in the parks alone. But it was actually

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the loneliest night of my life.

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you something not shocking to me. I

0:41:55.120 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 2>know that being in Disney World alone, what was your fantasy?

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 2>You're like, they're going to tap me to be the

0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:05.880
<v Speaker 2>new Cinderella.

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:10.959
<v Speaker 1>No, literally, I was like, I was like, they're gonna say, hey,

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you with the stars in your eyes, like you know,

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:16.239
<v Speaker 1>there's something magical about here.

0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're like you can't sing, can you? And then

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 3>you're like' like funny you.

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:28.000
<v Speaker 1>But so all this to say, yeah, there is like

0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the person who would think that like a museum of

0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:34.480
<v Speaker 1>ice cream would be like an enriching experience. They're a

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 1>lonely person who doesn't know themselves yet.

0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I was able to I think you're also

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 2>being Optimistice And guess what you're saying it's loneliness. You're

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 2>saying they don't know themselves yet. What if that's just

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:50.880
<v Speaker 2>their personality and it's for good and there's no and

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that just unfortunately there's a certain certain segment of the

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.479
<v Speaker 2>population that is museum of ice cream.

0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:58.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why I'm being so empathetic to this

0:42:59.000 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 3>type of person.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I think i'm and I'm not even I'm

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:04.960
<v Speaker 2>not even like saying I believe this, but I do

0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:06.879
<v Speaker 2>think that is a perspective we're asking. And I also

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>think all of this, the conversation we're having now is

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:11.480
<v Speaker 2>essentially the conversation that was happening about Trump voters after

0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:12.239
<v Speaker 2>the twenty year.

0:43:14.239 --> 0:43:18.080
<v Speaker 3>To me, it's so To me, it's both. Honestly, it's

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:21.320
<v Speaker 3>like you're afraid. You're afraid of something. You're afraid of

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 3>looking out of your element. You're afraid of like like

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 3>art museums, but I never taught that in school, Like

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll look so stupid there.

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 1>But you're also the museums like you're I mean, it's

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>basically like you're going to like look at these mirrors. Yes,

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they show you yourself, well if you can handle it,

0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly it. And that's exactly it, or is

0:43:42.160 --> 0:43:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it even the opposite?

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Is it like the people that think they're so sophisticated

0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 2>because they're going to the you know, Art of the

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 2>America's exhibit. Are they even more looking into a mirror

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 2>because they're so like obsessed with being sophisticated that anything

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 2>they see will just reflect back to them.

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I am smart. It's like either it's like are they

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 1>are they wise mad men? Or are they mad wise? Yeah? Yeah, wow, okay, Wow,

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to turn it.

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to Okay, I'm trying to turn my perspective

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:11.240
<v Speaker 3>to be hateful towards these people.

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think.

0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I think your angle on it is something I hadn't

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:19.600
<v Speaker 2>considered before, which is we had these nineties early adds

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>versions of this right right, please believe it or not,

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Madame Justsseau's those are very self evidently lame now, and

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:29.280
<v Speaker 2>this is updating that for the Instagram generation, right.

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, those also specifically were like for families in theory,

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 3>it was like, my family's visiting this weird city, and

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 3>so what are we going to do?

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it speaks to a sort of arrested development of

0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a certain like, you know, we we don't have houses,

0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.719
<v Speaker 1>right like millennials, like the first generation, you know, all

0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the like. So someone like let's you know, a Marnie, right,

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:56.600
<v Speaker 1>like she's just a perfect I mean truly a perfect character.

0:44:57.200 --> 0:45:00.400
<v Speaker 1>A Marnie who who never really had to look at inward,

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:05.920
<v Speaker 1>might still enjoy the things from her youth, having not

0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:11.880
<v Speaker 1>really grown up, but feel shame about that fact, and

0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:15.799
<v Speaker 1>so look for something that sort of also flatters her aesthetically.

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah interesting. So so yeah, own homes we would not

0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:22.919
<v Speaker 1>have if they.

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Turned the Museum of Ice Cream into affordable housing. Yes,

0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:30.640
<v Speaker 2>then everyone will be flocking to the Whitney Biennial. That's

0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 2>exactly what I'm saying. That actually does make me have

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 2>thriving culture again. There's something about like it's all about rent.

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 1>It's all about rent.

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, it's also how it's about what you expect

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 2>out of escapism, because it's like, if you're so miserable

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in your day to day life, you want Escapism to literally.

0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Be like a four D X three D movie that

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:50.040
<v Speaker 1>makes you, that beats you into.

0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Forgetting George bought us four D X tickets when I

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:54.160
<v Speaker 3>saw Madam Web it was actually a nightmare.

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Actually that wasn't moving, and I am it's not my fault.

0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:02.359
<v Speaker 3>We're about to have a heart attack because we were

0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:04.680
<v Speaker 3>in a forty X theater getting sprayed with water and

0:46:04.840 --> 0:46:07.319
<v Speaker 3>wind and being rocked up.

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Webs connecting us. Yeah, talk about the weapon connext to

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 1>them all. Wait, this is when I just are you

0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold your thought? Wait? Let me remember it? Yes,

0:46:18.760 --> 0:46:22.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, okay, okay. I saw Avatar The Way of

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Water in screen X, which is the format. There were

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen formats to see Avatar, and this was the

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:32.000
<v Speaker 1>one where the like they have like extra screen on

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the sides, so there's screen on three sides of you.

0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:40.600
<v Speaker 1>But the screen on the sides was like rendered soap poorly.

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.320
<v Speaker 1>You looked like a PS two cut scene. Oh no,

0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:46.839
<v Speaker 1>it looked like a Windows screen saver. And so every

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 1>time that it like I couldn't take the movie seriously.

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Every time that that happened, Yeah, it is the only time. Surely.

0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:55.839
<v Speaker 2>One of my pet peeves is like leave the film

0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:59.920
<v Speaker 2>going experience alone one hundred, Like it makes me so upset.

0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Actually, this is connected to what we're saying. Yes, well,

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:04.279
<v Speaker 1>her web connects them all. Well, her web connects them all.

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But so my original point was like, if you

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 2>hate your life, there's no social safety net donald Trump

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:15.799
<v Speaker 2>is president or honestly, then you are looking you are

0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:19.600
<v Speaker 2>looking for like extreme forms of escapism. Whereas if you

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:23.239
<v Speaker 2>have everything you need, you're living in Denmark, then you

0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:27.400
<v Speaker 2>actually have the space to interpret a painting because you

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 2>have the peace of mind where you don't need to

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:32.919
<v Speaker 2>actually be like pulverized into submission in order to enjoy

0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:33.359
<v Speaker 2>a movie.

0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, not that there's not value in being pulverized. Yes, well,

0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, yes, so I actually have Yes, I think

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:52.319
<v Speaker 1>that's but I also think that there's like there's even

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:57.640
<v Speaker 1>when things are going like well, quote unquote, I think

0:47:57.719 --> 0:48:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we've we've in America, we've like maybe since the eighties, right,

0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 1>it all goes back to Reagan's web connects assault this. Yeah,

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.840
<v Speaker 1>what like in the nineties, there was like a sense

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.719
<v Speaker 1>of there was there was this like growing wealth, right,

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:21.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, like that that Hunter S. Thompson article about

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:24.279
<v Speaker 1>like what like after nine to eleven. You know, like

0:48:24.400 --> 0:48:26.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna look at the nineties as this big party,

0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 1>but there was this like decay beginning, and we had

0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:35.200
<v Speaker 1>like a sense of that. So we would say around

0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the Lewinsky scandal. Yes, and it makes me think of

0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 1>have you all seen snow Pier, sir, Yes, I've seen it.

0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Finally a movie that I've seen. I just keep thinking

0:48:46.239 --> 0:48:49.400
<v Speaker 1>about like the the like the like decadence of like

0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the second train, right, it's a little bit of that.

0:48:52.480 --> 0:48:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like there's like this party going on wanting to ignore. Oh,

0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying. You like the decay happening?

0:49:01.680 --> 0:49:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as the So the Museum of ice Cream is

0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 2>that party in this it's the party. It's people with

0:49:07.080 --> 0:49:09.560
<v Speaker 2>the email job, it's people with the email oh got

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:10.880
<v Speaker 2>it themselves?

0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? By being in a ballpit.

0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I can't see the wrong hole? Yeah happening all yeah, yeah.

0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Which is so interesting because my instinct is that not

0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to say the obvious that is the rot. Like when

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at this dirty, disgusting ballpit and there are

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 2>people that are fully twenty nine years old that are

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:32.800
<v Speaker 2>like almost drowning because they want photos of themselves with

0:49:32.920 --> 0:49:34.799
<v Speaker 2>oversized sprinkles, You're like, well, if.

0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:36.000
<v Speaker 1>That is not the rock, then what is?

0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:43.640
<v Speaker 3>And that went back to the object in subjects right, Yeah, yeah,

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:45.680
<v Speaker 3>if that is not the rock, then what is?

0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like, is the rot like the object? Or

0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like to signify it? Yes, you know, no, no, I

0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>think like does that signal the rot? Or is it

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the rot? Right? Yes? Is it?

0:49:58.360 --> 0:49:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Or?

0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Also like is it a symptom of the or is

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it the rot itself? Right? I guess it is a symptom.

0:50:02.880 --> 0:50:04.640
<v Speaker 1>You can't argue that the Museum of ice Cream is the.

0:50:06.239 --> 0:50:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Rod starts if I was like, well, because of ice

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 2>cream came first, and then Trump is like because specifically

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the ice cream.

0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:16.240
<v Speaker 1>No, no, it was twenty nine rooms. Yeah, then Trump.

0:50:16.680 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Well the other thing is okay, So you're talking about Disneyland, right, Listen.

0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 2>We all have our issues with Disney, Disney or whatever,

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:25.080
<v Speaker 2>but at the very least Disneyland is based on beloved

0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 2>characters that all do.

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Come from true master works.

0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Like sure, when you look at old Mickey Mouse cartoons,

0:50:31.000 --> 0:50:34.760
<v Speaker 2>when you watch Disney movies that we grew up with, whatever,

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:38.000
<v Speaker 2>there is a there there there is to go to

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the signified signifier. There is a signified. The signified is

0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:46.000
<v Speaker 2>these beloved characters. Yes, I think with the Museum of

0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.880
<v Speaker 2>ice Cream there is no signified. You go in and

0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's just a general positive vibes. There's nothing that it

0:50:53.080 --> 0:50:56.080
<v Speaker 2>reminds you of. There's nothing that it is like pointing to.

0:50:57.080 --> 0:50:59.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't even really remind you of your childhood because

0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:01.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not like your going to six Flags or something.

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:04.480
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing that it is signifying. It's just like,

0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 2>please look at these colors and don't ask questions.

0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's again I think that's the sadness of it,

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:14.279
<v Speaker 3>where it's these people that like want to go, they

0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:18.080
<v Speaker 3>want to do something fun, they have a goal, and

0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:21.560
<v Speaker 3>they're like, i've seen pictures from this, I hope it's fun.

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 3>And they get there and they're like, oh, it's just empty,

0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:27.919
<v Speaker 3>like it's just colors. But they don't there. I don't

0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:30.160
<v Speaker 3>know if they're disappointed. I don't know if they're thinking, oh,

0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:33.600
<v Speaker 3>it's just empty, Like are they getting that far? Yeah,

0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I have to even if they don't know, I'm empty

0:51:36.719 --> 0:51:38.640
<v Speaker 3>because of this, I feel like there's a sadness when

0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:42.080
<v Speaker 3>they leave, Like I have to to think there's a

0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:44.680
<v Speaker 3>sadness because even they'll post the picture. Of course, you went,

0:51:44.719 --> 0:51:46.080
<v Speaker 3>you paid the entry for You're going to post the

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:48.320
<v Speaker 3>picture in the sprinkles and then you're like checking it

0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:49.919
<v Speaker 3>for likes and you're like is it good enough?

0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, And that's so sad.

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:56.200
<v Speaker 2>There's also something about I think one of the darkest

0:51:56.800 --> 0:51:59.680
<v Speaker 2>parts of our culture is the rise of half humor,

0:51:59.719 --> 0:52:02.280
<v Speaker 2>which is when something gestures it being funny without actually

0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:05.000
<v Speaker 2>being funny. And I think Museum of Sex, Museum of

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 2>ice cream, all of these things are semi ironic but

0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:11.840
<v Speaker 2>don't have the courage to be either fully ironic or

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:15.160
<v Speaker 2>fully earnest. And I think that is actually talk about

0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:19.640
<v Speaker 2>signs of rod. Yeah, I do think it's like, at

0:52:19.719 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 2>least if you're going to a museum and going to

0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:26.920
<v Speaker 2>a truly like a Dega exhibition, okay, that is fully earnest.

0:52:27.000 --> 0:52:30.400
<v Speaker 2>You are like I am seeing this great painter and

0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I am seeing just NonStop photos of ballerinas. Then on

0:52:36.120 --> 0:52:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the other side of things, what's something like completely like

0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're going, like ironically to a water park, that

0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 2>is like fully you're having fun with You're ironic.

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:48.880
<v Speaker 1>That's not rot, is not rock. This is no, no, no.

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Museum of ice cream is like not being able to

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:53.080
<v Speaker 1>commit to one or the other. Right, it's shame.

0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:57.000
<v Speaker 2>It's honestly it's a cultures fair and it's honestly wanting

0:52:57.040 --> 0:52:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to like dissociate a little bit, like to just be like, well,

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:00.560
<v Speaker 2>here we're all ice cream.

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Yeah, that's really dark because what like

0:53:05.800 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 1>what it's like, why do they call it a museum? Well,

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and there you go, you know what I mean, Like,

0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>why do they have to be like and look, if

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:17.279
<v Speaker 1>it were a museum, that's a different story. If there

0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:19.719
<v Speaker 1>were like installations about like that'd be that could be

0:53:19.800 --> 0:53:23.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of interesting, like the history of ice cream. You know,

0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:27.759
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't want to know? I mean, you know, yeah,

0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's storied. I mean, so at least one

0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:33.040
<v Speaker 1>good room.

0:53:33.320 --> 0:53:36.600
<v Speaker 2>At least one good room, the first lactose in tolerant

0:53:36.640 --> 0:53:39.520
<v Speaker 2>girl who started farting after eating.

0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, but like this is like they have to

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 1>say that it's a museum so that these people who

0:53:49.160 --> 0:53:51.839
<v Speaker 1>are like a shame to just have fun, who are

0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:56.400
<v Speaker 1>like ashamed of like of like of maybe not reaching

0:53:56.600 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 1>like certain like milestones that they feel they should have

0:54:01.440 --> 0:54:05.439
<v Speaker 1>reached by now they they still it's like the air

0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of culture.

0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, they have to call it a museum because they're

0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:11.879
<v Speaker 2>afraid to call it a church. Oh honey, well yes,

0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 2>because what we're actually missing is non commodified spaces for

0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:18.799
<v Speaker 2>people to congregate. And we all know this and we're

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 2>getting and what we haven't said the Museum of ice cream.

0:54:22.160 --> 0:54:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this goes back to Reagan, of course, goes well,

0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:26.400
<v Speaker 2>this goes back to Reagan. It was the Museum of

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:28.600
<v Speaker 2>ice Cream was Reagan's last idea, and then he died.

0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:31.239
<v Speaker 2>He was fully he had full on dementia. He was

0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 2>on his deathbed.

0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Nancy was giving him one last BJ and then he

0:54:36.280 --> 0:54:38.759
<v Speaker 1>was like and he was like a museum with no art.

0:54:41.719 --> 0:54:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh.

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:46.640
<v Speaker 3>The way that you just described the Museum of ice Cream,

0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:48.359
<v Speaker 3>it reminds me of an event I went to once

0:54:48.480 --> 0:54:49.760
<v Speaker 3>that also filled me with sadness.

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:52.640
<v Speaker 1>That was at a bar during the day and it

0:54:52.840 --> 0:54:57.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, you take the sa t excuse me, you take.

0:54:57.320 --> 0:55:01.320
<v Speaker 3>The SAT as a joke and like see what score

0:55:01.360 --> 0:55:06.520
<v Speaker 3>you got? And I went and they had like performed

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like performing on it. They would like be

0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:11.200
<v Speaker 3>like performance breaks and I was just like.

0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:13.800
<v Speaker 1>This is shocking. Was it a caveat? Of course? It was,

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. And it was just like what a read.

0:55:19.800 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 2>And guess what you don't because they need to know. Yeah,

0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:28.879
<v Speaker 2>there are people out there going to take the sads recreationally.

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It was just like you have to move on.

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:35.600
<v Speaker 3>You are like still so proud of yourself for being

0:55:35.680 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 3>good at the SAT.

0:55:37.840 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 1>It was so sad, And you know what this web

0:55:41.680 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>connects to this? These are people who can't see a

0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:47.040
<v Speaker 1>future for themselves. They can't see a future only in

0:55:47.040 --> 0:55:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the past. That's why Madam Webb is the ultimate hero. Right,

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 1>she can see the future sort of, she's imagining queer futures.

0:55:53.880 --> 0:55:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and actually I think this sort of is important

0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 2>because it doesn't have this this like male confidence of like,

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.800
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, I'm gonna go to the moon and

0:56:02.920 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 2>plant a flat right. No, it's like maybe tomorrow it

0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:06.640
<v Speaker 2>might rain.

0:56:06.960 --> 0:56:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well there's a community aspect, yes, of course. It's

0:56:09.600 --> 0:56:14.279
<v Speaker 1>like her sort of is like she can envision these futures, right,

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 1>and if it were a man, like probably the man

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:19.600
<v Speaker 1>would be like this is happening. Yeah, but she is

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:25.560
<v Speaker 1>like I I I'm going to like, I'm going to

0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:29.960
<v Speaker 1>share that information and then like together we can move forward. Yes,

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a little, it's something. It's an ice. It's like

0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:36.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe this is it. Now, let's go to the web.

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 2>From one she has an idea and then she's like

0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll work through it together.

0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and she apologizes for it, and she apologizes.

0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Something you will notice ester when you see the film

0:56:49.760 --> 0:56:51.880
<v Speaker 2>is that every second word out of her mouth is

0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know all the teen girls keep asking her

0:56:55.239 --> 0:56:55.960
<v Speaker 2>like why is this happening?

0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Why is this happening? And she's like, girls, I don't know.

0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:03.399
<v Speaker 3>The most incredible performance the whole movie, the metatext, of course,

0:57:03.480 --> 0:57:05.160
<v Speaker 3>is I don't know what this movie's about.

0:57:05.320 --> 0:57:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and it's like, thank you, it's so cool.

0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wonder if some of those lines actually were

0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:13.200
<v Speaker 2>something else. Into coda, Johnson was like, whatever, I.

0:57:13.239 --> 0:57:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Feel like the character wouldn't know here. Yeah, exactly, there's

0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:19.080
<v Speaker 1>so much going on. Why is that guy using this?

0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's amazing.

0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:23.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just that for an hour and a half, and

0:57:23.600 --> 0:57:25.560
<v Speaker 2>then she gets her powers truly within the last like

0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:26.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes.

0:57:26.720 --> 0:57:30.240
<v Speaker 1>The only sort of sort of she's like and once

0:57:30.240 --> 0:57:32.240
<v Speaker 1>again the culture can't commit. Yeah, well, you know what

0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it is.

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:34.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you know, in you know the original Tobe

0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:36.360
<v Speaker 2>McGuire Spider Man, or for me, in my world the

0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:37.960
<v Speaker 2>original I know there's more sure, you.

0:57:38.000 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Know, he starts getting his powers and he's like trying

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to climb for the first time.

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:44.480
<v Speaker 2>He's figuring it out, and that's like the first that's

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:46.440
<v Speaker 2>the end of the first act, because that's how a

0:57:46.480 --> 0:57:48.920
<v Speaker 2>superhero movie is structured. It's like in your powers, you

0:57:49.000 --> 0:57:50.760
<v Speaker 2>try to use them, you fail, then you figure them

0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:53.600
<v Speaker 2>out in Madam Webb, that's the finale.

0:57:54.640 --> 0:57:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so this is a symptom of this is

0:57:58.240 --> 0:58:02.920
<v Speaker 1>like capitalistic bloat because it's exact one. But then if

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you actually take it as said exact well, exactly exactly exactly.

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:12.120
<v Speaker 3>It's the way that the whole movie is to get

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:15.480
<v Speaker 3>to just the point. She's a normal girl the whole time.

0:58:16.000 --> 0:58:16.760
<v Speaker 1>But what makes.

0:58:18.160 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 2>But what makes it, what makes it camp, is that

0:58:20.360 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 2>those sequels will never come. So with this sort of

0:58:24.080 --> 0:58:28.360
<v Speaker 2>amazing story with no resolution, it's like Ladybird like, it's

0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:32.240
<v Speaker 2>literally like she she her name, Yes she does.

0:58:32.720 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 1>She's actually interested to see if there's a transnarrative you know,

0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 1>well guess what we're not gonna find out. Yeah. Wow,

0:58:42.320 --> 0:58:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for you to see it. I can't

0:58:43.840 --> 0:58:45.800
<v Speaker 1>wait to see it. I can't wait to see it.

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to if I could just like come on

0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:50.240
<v Speaker 1>later for like a little ten minute exclud then we

0:58:50.400 --> 0:58:52.440
<v Speaker 1>are giving my I am okay.

0:58:52.280 --> 0:58:54.560
<v Speaker 2>With the rest of our patron content forever being about

0:58:54.600 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Madame Web.

0:58:55.360 --> 0:58:58.120
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Madam Web actually inspires so much hope,

0:58:58.200 --> 0:59:01.400
<v Speaker 3>enjoy in me because it's what we're saying about language

0:59:01.480 --> 0:59:03.920
<v Speaker 3>where it's like what's what's out now, what's in now?

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:08.120
<v Speaker 3>It's so nice to have a new thing that everyone

0:59:08.240 --> 0:59:11.040
<v Speaker 3>is a movie is like this is this is defining

0:59:11.160 --> 0:59:12.960
<v Speaker 3>the conversation for the year. Well look back on this

0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:14.360
<v Speaker 3>year and be like, remember when we were laughing about

0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Madame web But yeah, it's gonna be so good.

0:59:16.520 --> 0:59:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I had the thought and maybe you both had this

0:59:18.560 --> 0:59:20.480
<v Speaker 1>thought too, because you know you're very smart and plugged

0:59:20.480 --> 0:59:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in visuals. You know. Well, yo, about like maybe four

0:59:27.240 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to five minutes ago, I was like, are we dating

0:59:29.880 --> 0:59:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this episode in a big way?

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yeah, sorry. But the last thing that felt

0:59:35.800 --> 0:59:38.760
<v Speaker 1>like this how Madam Webb feels is Cats.

0:59:39.560 --> 0:59:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Well people have been saying it's the cats of superhero movies.

0:59:42.600 --> 0:59:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and and cats. I actually I still like cats jokes.

0:59:46.960 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I smile. It was a crazy moment. It was

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a crazy moment and the fact that that was like

0:59:51.400 --> 0:59:54.680
<v Speaker 1>everyone's last movie before Lockdown, and like I saw like

0:59:54.760 --> 0:59:59.160
<v Speaker 1>a like a ten thirty PM at like Lincoln Square, AMC.

0:59:59.480 --> 1:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So we all we're just doing full talk back. Yeah,

1:00:02.360 --> 1:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it was so fun. This is like like I still laugh,

1:00:07.720 --> 1:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I still think fondly on that moment, So I do

1:00:10.680 --> 1:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>think something about Madam Webb is and it signifies the

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>death of the superhero. Yeah, which is so great, Like

1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>what a way to go, A way to go, A

1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>way to go.

1:00:21.360 --> 1:00:23.080
<v Speaker 2>It didn't end with a bang. It ended with an

1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know with the girlies yeah yeah, yeah, it

1:00:28.960 --> 1:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>with Sydney Sweeney being in an aborted prequel for that

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>for bat Girl, No Spider, Spider Spider, Yeah, I.

1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Can't talk about it. Whatever. Interviews incredible.

1:00:42.680 --> 1:00:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I also I really like the our episodes are so dated,

1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Like I think it's so funny as I journal.

1:00:49.760 --> 1:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so topical.

1:00:53.120 --> 1:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>What would if you were to make a fake museum?

1:00:55.920 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>What would the topic be?

1:00:57.040 --> 1:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Great question with a slide in. Good question with

1:01:00.360 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the slide.

1:01:00.880 --> 1:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>By the way, we haven't addressed the actual slide in

1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:05.320
<v Speaker 2>case anyone has the problem that I had. So when

1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>as the first said this, I hesitated because I thought

1:01:07.720 --> 1:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that she meant slides like a slide show, like a

1:01:10.160 --> 1:01:13.960
<v Speaker 2>history history museums that have like a slide show.

1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I'll be honest, like I saw a wave

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of confusion come over your face when I shared the

1:01:18.280 --> 1:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>topic right before we started recording, and I was I was.

1:01:23.240 --> 1:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I was taken aback because I was like, I feel

1:01:25.640 --> 1:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like this is a perfect totally no. I yes, But

1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>then as soon as you understood, then you were like,

1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>oh this is rich, you know.

1:01:32.960 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 3>And when you sanguage I at first I was like, oh,

1:01:36.160 --> 1:01:39.200
<v Speaker 3>does she mean slides or slides? But then I just

1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:41.960
<v Speaker 3>use context clues, which can be so so amazing. Ye,

1:01:42.080 --> 1:01:47.680
<v Speaker 3>contexts are hard for me. So okay, what would I mean?

1:01:47.920 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Off the bat?

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, would yours be the Museum of Broadway? Well,

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that does exist. It does. Oh, there is a Museum

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of Broadway, and you know that. It's like halfway right.

1:01:56.600 --> 1:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>It just has like one bra that Patty Lapone wore.

1:02:01.880 --> 1:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it has it's a room of like one from

1:02:04.560 --> 1:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>every show. It has the padded bra that Rob McClure

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>wore as Missus doubt Fire.

1:02:12.240 --> 1:02:13.760
<v Speaker 3>You get to take a picture with a playbill on

1:02:13.800 --> 1:02:14.600
<v Speaker 3>your way out. Yeah.

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>No, well this is the thing. It's like halfway right

1:02:17.120 --> 1:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't been to it. I haven't been to

1:02:19.040 --> 1:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>any of these, but like there's like there is history stuff.

1:02:23.480 --> 1:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>But then you take a picture, like there's like a

1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>swing that's like themed like hair or something like that.

1:02:31.000 --> 1:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>People take pictures with that.

1:02:32.360 --> 1:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's sort of what you would get if you

1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>were to go to a Broadway show that had a

1:02:36.080 --> 1:02:37.920
<v Speaker 2>little photo op, but all of them together, Like you know,

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I went to Angels in America, Like

1:02:39.640 --> 1:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>they had the wings that you could take a photo

1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>in from. Yeah, so it's that, but then for every show,

1:02:44.000 --> 1:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>and you also don't get to see a show that's right,

1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>that's right. I mean, is there a better metaphor for

1:02:49.440 --> 1:02:52.720
<v Speaker 2>this kind of fake museum than that. It's like it's spectacle. Yes,

1:02:52.760 --> 1:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it's spectacle, but without the spectacle.

1:02:54.800 --> 1:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:02:55.360 --> 1:02:58.680
<v Speaker 3>I have a question when you are in like a

1:02:58.760 --> 1:03:00.160
<v Speaker 3>space where it's like you got to the end of

1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the museum, you should take a picture on the hair chair?

1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you take a picture?

1:03:06.040 --> 1:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Not anymore? Do you? Uh?

1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I will say, I don't know if I actually actually

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>posted it, but I did get a photo with the

1:03:15.600 --> 1:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Angels in America wings when I went with my friend's staff.

1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>See this. I am so rocked when put in that

1:03:22.320 --> 1:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>situation because I'm like, do I do it? Or am

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I above it?

1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Because obviously in my mind I'm way above it. But

1:03:30.520 --> 1:03:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and then I'm also like, but I'm human, Right, I

1:03:33.040 --> 1:03:33.600
<v Speaker 3>came to the show.

1:03:33.680 --> 1:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I need proof of it. Well, it's a little bit like, oh, like,

1:03:36.480 --> 1:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Like, Oh, you hate capitalism, but you

1:03:38.360 --> 1:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>have an iPhone? Yeah, you know what I mean. It's like,

1:03:41.040 --> 1:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>well you're there. Well you know what else I do?

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:46.439
<v Speaker 2>And I do this literally with no shame. You better

1:03:46.480 --> 1:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>believe I post the playable to my story every single

1:03:49.040 --> 1:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>time I go to the theater.

1:03:49.960 --> 1:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>See, I don't and I don't. I'm not going to

1:03:51.760 --> 1:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>be shamed for it. I think there's something about the

1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>effemery of the story. Yes, yeah, I know I would

1:03:56.840 --> 1:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>never do at adult I do. I love this.

1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I guess what ever, because it's like obviously, I'm also

1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of being like, look at me, I'm at a play.

1:04:04.640 --> 1:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>But what's also fun about it is that everyone else

1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>has seen it then responds and is like, oh my god,

1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't El Fanning like so bad?

1:04:10.120 --> 1:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just be not bad.

1:04:16.480 --> 1:04:19.960
<v Speaker 3>We Yeah, I went to Cold Show. Yeah, and I like,

1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't go to a theater very often with a playbill.

1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I know, the culture is take

1:04:27.160 --> 1:04:28.919
<v Speaker 1>picture of the real theater.

1:04:29.040 --> 1:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>People would probably look at me and are like, you're

1:04:31.760 --> 1:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>so ghost for doing that, but I don't care.

1:04:33.720 --> 1:04:36.240
<v Speaker 3>It's I felt so much shame and I had to

1:04:36.280 --> 1:04:38.280
<v Speaker 3>look around and make sure other people were doing it too.

1:04:38.640 --> 1:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Real theater people aren't that cultured anymore. Yeah, you know,

1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>real theater. Real theater people are are posting to their grid.

1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, and the town Yeah yeah, exactly interesting. Well

1:04:54.640 --> 1:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>should we do our final segment?

1:04:55.880 --> 1:04:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean none of us have answered my question.

1:05:03.520 --> 1:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I I mean, but also no, no, I can think.

1:05:07.920 --> 1:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>It has to because it's a difficult one, because it

1:05:10.200 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>has to be something essentially bad, like you're creating something

1:05:12.360 --> 1:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't even yourself on a.

1:05:13.840 --> 1:05:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Well the one I would fully yeah, I would want

1:05:16.880 --> 1:05:21.520
<v Speaker 3>like like if there was a hacky way to do

1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:26.480
<v Speaker 3>like Museum of Gay Guye where if it were like, right,

1:05:26.760 --> 1:05:31.720
<v Speaker 3>that's really good actually and you could like, yeah, there'd

1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:34.280
<v Speaker 3>be you know, although there'd be the Fire Island section

1:05:34.400 --> 1:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>of like the seventies, and then you'd also like you

1:05:37.160 --> 1:05:39.280
<v Speaker 3>could walk into like a dance floor and it was like.

1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, is what it was?

1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Like like a fake Keith Herring mural. Yeah, like Diva's Room,

1:05:47.520 --> 1:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Diva's Room.

1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Div.

1:05:52.680 --> 1:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Like just a room that has like the film the

1:05:55.760 --> 1:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>concert film of the Madonna Confessions Tour playing.

1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>On a loop. You could get like kind of like

1:06:00.640 --> 1:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like exit through their gift shop like poppers, Like yeah, poppers.

1:06:04.520 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Like also a giant thing of poppers to do a

1:06:06.800 --> 1:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>photo op with. Oh yeah, there'd be like a frame

1:06:09.880 --> 1:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>frame jock strap.

1:06:11.320 --> 1:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>That's a really good idea. Yeah. Well, also, like I

1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of want to go like, what's some of the

1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>like early gay guys like I don't really know like

1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>gay male history like to yeah, yeah, like like what's

1:06:24.960 --> 1:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>like turn of the century gay guys. Well, Dandy is like, yeah, yeah, exactly.

1:06:30.680 --> 1:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I think there's like something. I think it's like something

1:06:33.560 --> 1:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>like really beautiful with like trans women in gay guy history,

1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>like the way it has intertwined, you know at certain

1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>points in history. Absolutely people are like, oh, you're just

1:06:42.960 --> 1:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>like crazy people with penis Like we're actually there's a

1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>lot a lot of ways found. Yeah wow, okay, wait mine,

1:06:57.280 --> 1:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good one. Thank you.

1:07:01.200 --> 1:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>This is actually almost this all this actually sort of

1:07:03.800 --> 1:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>does exist. I'm thinking of like if you go to

1:07:06.960 --> 1:07:10.880
<v Speaker 2>like Coupercute or something and they have like an exhibition

1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>that's like the history of advertising and there's.

1:07:13.000 --> 1:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Like famous ads.

1:07:14.520 --> 1:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure, like that does exist and you could argue it

1:07:18.240 --> 1:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>is art, right, but there is something about like there's

1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>almost like a nineties kids will remember this element like

1:07:25.400 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>a museum that is basically like BuzzFeed the museum. It's

1:07:28.600 --> 1:07:33.520
<v Speaker 2>just like artifacts from your childhood, and it's in fact

1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>micro targeted so that when you enter a room, it's

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>all things that like bring you back to your childhood.

1:07:38.480 --> 1:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like a power ranger that's like still in the rapper.

1:07:41.360 --> 1:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

1:07:43.800 --> 1:07:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that something like that is bound to have

1:07:46.920 --> 1:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>on a CEU and it'll be VR because it'll be

1:07:49.240 --> 1:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>like algorithmically that's how it's like.

1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>So point yeah. So something that I think, like something

1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I really like like like left wing like revolutionary history

1:08:05.440 --> 1:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that and like protests, and so I

1:08:09.040 --> 1:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>think it would be cool and crazy to have like

1:08:12.200 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a museum that's like dedicated to that. Yeah, like like

1:08:16.040 --> 1:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>radical movements and stuff like that specifically. And there is

1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>this extra added layer of darkness that it's being commodified

1:08:23.320 --> 1:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and being reclaimed and recaptured, so dark, and you feel

1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>like you're like doing something by going to this like

1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the Museum of Radicality or something.

1:08:33.479 --> 1:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean that does it's like you will

1:08:35.840 --> 1:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>occasionally go to like you know, protest art or something. Yeah,

1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and then it'll be like a framed sign from a

1:08:43.479 --> 1:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>protest right, and then like a photo of people congregating,

1:08:49.320 --> 1:08:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and then you're also with people, but rather than creating

1:08:52.160 --> 1:08:54.680
<v Speaker 2>change themselves, are sort of all being like wow, that

1:08:54.800 --> 1:08:55.439
<v Speaker 2>was powerful.

1:08:55.840 --> 1:08:55.880
<v Speaker 3>No.

1:08:56.120 --> 1:08:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's like there's an exhibit right now at the

1:08:58.479 --> 1:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Museum that I really want to go to have

1:09:00.479 --> 1:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>like queer zines, and it's like this like radical way

1:09:05.680 --> 1:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of like spreading information within like queer punk communities and

1:09:09.720 --> 1:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff that like now is being given this legitimacy, but

1:09:14.160 --> 1:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like also while it's still happening. So I think there's

1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:20.799
<v Speaker 1>like I wonder what that's doing to like the brains

1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>of the people like like everything that, like you know,

1:09:27.600 --> 1:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they're somewhere in the back of their

1:09:29.520 --> 1:09:32.439
<v Speaker 1>mind they're like, well, this might be like in a

1:09:32.560 --> 1:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>museum one day.

1:09:34.040 --> 1:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do think this happens so much to the

1:09:36.680 --> 1:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>act up generation, like it has been that story has

1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:44.200
<v Speaker 2>now been told so many different times in documentaries, in museums, whatever,

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>that it's so difficult to actually be like, oh that

1:09:48.080 --> 1:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>was there was a time when that wasn't commodified, right, right,

1:09:52.880 --> 1:09:55.080
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to remember that and things get left out.

1:09:55.120 --> 1:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And of course the more that it, you know, like

1:09:57.720 --> 1:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>people want to talk about the suffragists, they don't want

1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk about how to suffragists bombed things. You know

1:10:03.640 --> 1:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>WHOA But in your museum, that'll be that whole room

1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you'll get you'll never mind, you'll get you'll get. I

1:10:14.960 --> 1:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>mean it would be things like the anarchists, like here's

1:10:18.120 --> 1:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>a bomb recipe. It'll be called steal this museum. Oh

1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>my god, esther done. There's a future here. That's a

1:10:25.439 --> 1:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>million dollar mutual aid fund museum. Yeah. Yeah, that's really good.

1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Damn wow, thank you to the queersy thing.

1:10:36.160 --> 1:10:38.639
<v Speaker 3>I did have something where I like in a museum

1:10:38.680 --> 1:10:40.920
<v Speaker 3>when it's like, you know, things from the past, and

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.040
<v Speaker 3>you're like looking at stuff in like recent past. It's

1:10:43.040 --> 1:10:45.519
<v Speaker 3>like this is zines from the seventies or something, and

1:10:45.560 --> 1:10:47.639
<v Speaker 3>you're like cool, cool, cool. And then when it gets

1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:48.320
<v Speaker 3>like and they're.

1:10:48.160 --> 1:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Still being made today.

1:10:49.960 --> 1:10:53.439
<v Speaker 3>And like you see like stuff from like six months ago,

1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:56.280
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, don't don't show me that. Yeah,

1:10:57.320 --> 1:10:59.840
<v Speaker 3>you haven't had time to ruminate on there exactly. Yeah,

1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:04.520
<v Speaker 3>this one's important later. Yeah, I even they get to contemporary.

1:11:04.920 --> 1:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like, who chose that one? Yeah? Is that your friend?

1:11:07.680 --> 1:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Be honest?

1:11:09.040 --> 1:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys know what actually is so part of

1:11:11.640 --> 1:11:15.040
<v Speaker 2>this conversation, which is when old school museum culture and

1:11:15.880 --> 1:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>fake museum culture clashed. When MoMA did the B York exhibition,

1:11:21.800 --> 1:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that?

1:11:22.840 --> 1:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't, So it was like I didn't. I didn't

1:11:25.960 --> 1:11:26.200
<v Speaker 1>go either.

1:11:26.360 --> 1:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>They heavily advertised this and it was going to be

1:11:28.479 --> 1:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>like B York at it was the B York Show

1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:33.400
<v Speaker 2>at MoMA, and it had and you sort of think, Okay,

1:11:33.439 --> 1:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>it'll have some like costumes from her videos whatever, And

1:11:37.040 --> 1:11:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember the details, but it was the most

1:11:38.800 --> 1:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>like critically panned art show of like all time. Like

1:11:43.479 --> 1:11:46.479
<v Speaker 2>it was like an embarrassing, humiliating moment for MoMA. It

1:11:46.560 --> 1:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>was seen as like them trying so hard and so

1:11:49.080 --> 1:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>desperately to like appeal to people that wouldn't otherwise come

1:11:52.120 --> 1:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>to a museum. And I do wonder if I don't know,

1:11:57.200 --> 1:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>is there a way to like, Let's say you are

1:11:59.000 --> 1:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>an old school museum you want to get you blood in,

1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:02.639
<v Speaker 2>but you don't want to do museum of ice cream?

1:12:04.439 --> 1:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>What is a way to do it? By will maintaining

1:12:06.320 --> 1:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>some integrity. I think, I guess it is the zine thing. Well,

1:12:11.960 --> 1:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I do think it's the zine thing. Yeah, I think,

1:12:14.240 --> 1:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I think. I mean, I'll speak to what would get

1:12:17.160 --> 1:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>me in, right, is like is more like queer art?

1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Like inclusivity? Yeah, inclusivity, inclusivity. So I guess the answer

1:12:24.160 --> 1:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>is just inclusivity.

1:12:25.600 --> 1:12:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, cool, yeah, all right, okay, Yeah, I've

1:12:30.680 --> 1:12:32.200
<v Speaker 2>heard that's pretty easy to accomplish.

1:12:32.280 --> 1:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we solve museums really good. Right now it's kind

1:12:36.640 --> 1:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of filled with light. Yeah, that's amazing. Ye, see you

1:12:39.920 --> 1:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>at the Goggenheim. Now we should do our finals. Now

1:12:50.720 --> 1:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we should find a segment. I wish I had one.

1:12:52.760 --> 1:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be honest with you.

1:12:53.840 --> 1:12:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Our final segment is called shout Outs, and in this

1:12:56.360 --> 1:12:58.720
<v Speaker 3>segment we piwash is the grand straight oral tradition of

1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the radio shout out, giving a shout out to anything

1:13:01.439 --> 1:13:06.080
<v Speaker 3>that we enjoy. We will go first, and then and

1:13:06.200 --> 1:13:14.040
<v Speaker 3>then you, of course, naturally, naturally, I have one. Okay,

1:13:17.080 --> 1:13:21.160
<v Speaker 3>what's uh, freaks, losers and not to mention perverts. I

1:13:21.280 --> 1:13:25.040
<v Speaker 3>want to give a shout out to the new Casey

1:13:25.160 --> 1:13:30.519
<v Speaker 3>Musgraves song Deeper. Well, that's right, I am enjoying this song.

1:13:32.120 --> 1:13:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, you know, like everyone else, I was

1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>obsessed with Golden Hour album by her, but then the

1:13:39.280 --> 1:13:41.880
<v Speaker 3>next one I was sort of like, yeah, this is fine,

1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:44.519
<v Speaker 3>and it's sort of you know when you love something

1:13:44.600 --> 1:13:46.080
<v Speaker 3>by someone so much and then the next one you

1:13:46.120 --> 1:13:47.880
<v Speaker 3>don't love that much and you're like, did I ever

1:13:48.120 --> 1:13:50.280
<v Speaker 3>like them? What was my what is my relationship with

1:13:50.360 --> 1:13:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Casey Musgraves? And now this new song came out and

1:13:52.800 --> 1:13:54.760
<v Speaker 3>I said she's a genius and I said, I'm all in.

1:13:55.080 --> 1:13:57.080
<v Speaker 3>I was a fool to have ever doubted her. It

1:13:57.200 --> 1:14:02.840
<v Speaker 3>feels mature, it feels classic, and it feels i'll say

1:14:02.840 --> 1:14:06.120
<v Speaker 3>it relevant to my current life, which is so groundbreaking

1:14:06.920 --> 1:14:09.680
<v Speaker 3>when stuff is a relative to my current life. So

1:14:09.760 --> 1:14:11.600
<v Speaker 3>shout out to Casey Moose Graves, shout out to the

1:14:11.640 --> 1:14:12.880
<v Speaker 3>new song, and shout out to.

1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Being a gay guy.

1:14:14.400 --> 1:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, really brought it home at the end there, what's

1:14:19.240 --> 1:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>up freaks some losers? I want to give a shout

1:14:21.320 --> 1:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>out to getting a Manhattan on the rocks. People will

1:14:24.680 --> 1:14:27.639
<v Speaker 2>tell you you'll need some queer butter tender and they'll

1:14:27.640 --> 1:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>say Manhattan that goes in a little koopye coopye glass.

1:14:31.479 --> 1:14:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize we were in you know, occupied Russia.

1:14:35.280 --> 1:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I can do whatever I want. I can get it

1:14:38.880 --> 1:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>on I can get it on the rocks if I want.

1:14:40.240 --> 1:14:43.479
<v Speaker 2>And guess what, then, I'm not drinking lukewarm sort of

1:14:43.720 --> 1:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>syrupy whiskey mixture. I'm drinking a delicious iced cocktail. So yes,

1:14:48.040 --> 1:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I draw the line and getting a martini on the rocks.

1:14:50.120 --> 1:14:50.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not insane.

1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:53.599
<v Speaker 2>But guess what, go to a bar, order a rye

1:14:53.920 --> 1:14:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Manhattan on the rocks and report back because something tells

1:14:57.200 --> 1:14:59.920
<v Speaker 2>me you're gonna be refreshed and you're gonna be honestly drunk.

1:15:01.000 --> 1:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>WHOA. I couldn't disagree more. But really, you would never

1:15:04.960 --> 1:15:07.479
<v Speaker 1>do that. I get upset when they do that. Yeah,

1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I used to be like you.

1:15:11.360 --> 1:15:14.559
<v Speaker 3>The little fancy glass is half the fun. I actually

1:15:14.600 --> 1:15:16.920
<v Speaker 3>just wish more drinks came into the fancy the martini

1:15:17.000 --> 1:15:22.479
<v Speaker 3>style glass. But what about surely getting warm, honey the

1:15:22.520 --> 1:15:23.400
<v Speaker 3>right eye drinking, it's not.

1:15:24.920 --> 1:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be way split the difference, right, Like one

1:15:26.880 --> 1:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>piece of ice one Well, there's nothing more stigmatized in

1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>this country than like putting one ice cube.

1:15:34.240 --> 1:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Like when when I will sometimes put one ice Cuban.

1:15:36.360 --> 1:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll say it a glass of white wine, sue me. Ye,

1:15:38.800 --> 1:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>guess what, it keeps a colt. It doesn't change the

1:15:41.360 --> 1:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>taste that much.

1:15:42.280 --> 1:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And I have the right to do it. So that's

1:15:45.200 --> 1:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about something we should normalize. Do you want to

1:15:48.120 --> 1:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>do another shout out? He's curious, all right, time for

1:15:53.360 --> 1:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>your shot? Okay, Hey, hey, hey America, what's up, gay people?

1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I am loving babies boom, specifically nieces and nephews. So
