161
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: I'm here waiting for Christ with the lasers and gesus. Yes, Lord, yes,

162
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: the lasers turns into the Cross.

163
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Let's let's make that happen. So, like,

164
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: that's not really I don't know.

165
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 3: I just don't think you should put real religious music

166
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: on in a pool in my car. Yeah, because what

167
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: if you're atheist, what if you're Jewish, what if you're

168
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: It's just not universal.

169
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: But was it a bob were you? Guys? It was

170
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: not a Bob Jim.

171
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 3: It sounds like a cousin was also on the track.

172
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: It was like a Christian mingo mixtape. So it wasn't

173
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: even professional music, you know. So I'm listening and the

174
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: ride is going to be long. It's like twenty eight minutes.

175
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: I was like, do what can I really do this?

176
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: And then he.

177
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: Rolls all the windows down, all of them. Oh no,

178
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, I got to pick one. Like

179
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: if I say, if I ask about the music, then

180
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: it's going to be like oh, you're one of those

181
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: people who don't believe in the Lord. And then and

182
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: then if you ask me, do you not know Christ?

183
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: And the bitch in the front was like, oh this

184
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: I love this music.

185
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god.

186
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Two Christian mingo people. And I was like, I think

187
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: they just call him Christian?

188
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: What Christian mingo? It sounded like they was it was

189
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: a meetup going on. I was like, if we pick up.

190
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: Another Christian motherfucker here, I'm getting out. And I was like,

191
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: ooh should I Should I be that person?

192
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Like do you think you could put something else on? Okay?

193
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: Pause?

194
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: You didn't have headphones on you, your phone wasn't charged.

195
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: That's not the point.

196
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: That is the point.

197
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: That is not the point.

198
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Could you have just put some music on your headphones?

199
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: I forgot my pa phone, that's the point.

200
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: So you were unprepared any way, prepared to speak ahead.

201
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: So I told him to roll up the window and

202
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: he said, actually, I'm really hot.

203
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: I can't.

204
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: And I said the driver said that not the other

205
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: customer on the front. The driver, and I was like, okay, well,

206
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: maybe maybe he is hot, maybe he's hypoglossmic or whatever

207
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: and whatever that means, like it's a you know, a

208
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: health thing.

209
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he needs all the windows. But it was really

210
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: freaking cold.

211
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: And then I was like, well, sir, can we change

212
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: the music because this is not really for me? And

213
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: then he was looking They both looked at me like

214
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: what do you mean this isn't for you?

215
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: He sam on the bridge, He's like, we could cancel

216
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: the ride.

217
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: Basically, I told him. I was like, I don't like

218
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: the music. If if you can turn the music off,

219
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: that'd be great.

220
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: I have a migraine. And he said no.

221
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: So they would not roll up the windows and they

222
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: would not turn the music on, turn the music off.

223
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, what do I do because

224
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: we about to hit this bridge and I got.

225
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: To be called along, Right're gonna be gold and brain

226
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: and it's colder over the water.

227
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: It was turning into a prayer circle on that bitch.

229
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: I was like, I feel uncomfortable.

230
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: So I spoke up.

231
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960

00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: to hear your thoughts on everything that you heard just now.

251
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: He is a super hilarious comedian that I'm sure you

252
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: say funny. His Instagram stay popping, his body is always out. Yes,

253
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: you had a Comedy Central half half hour beautiful here

254
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: for all of it. He is our Los Angeles expert.

255
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 4: It's Jill Kim Booster.

256
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: Wow, so many thoughts. So, Sidney, you posted about that

257
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 5: Uber ride and I cannot I gasped when I read

258
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: it because I could not believe the rudeness of it.

259
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: It's my it's my fault because uber drivers now they

260
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: pop in a collar.

261
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: They're like, we're doing what we want. It's uberpool bits

262
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: you in here.

263
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, they know they have the power because they're like

264
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: you're poor. Yes, they know you have no leverage in

265
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 5: that situation. Ye, but I will say it was shocking

266
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 5: because I knew you there was a New York ride,

267
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: and I find New York especially well, let's just get

268
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 5: into La la. Uber drivers are hell.

269
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talk too much.

270
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 5: They talk, they talk too much. But also I cannot

271
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 5: tell you this is a different situation. But oftentimes I

272
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: will get this has happened. Maybe I think upwards of

273
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: three times I've gotten into an uber or a lyft

274
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: and they're playing eminem and it's like every every eminem,

275
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's current or old, but like

276
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: I will say that thematically, it feels like every eminem

277
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 5: rap is about a murder suicide with his wife. Yes,

278
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 5: And it's like it's always I'm always like like it

279
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 5: doesn't bother me necessarily because I'm like whatever, like I

280
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: can tue this out or it's it's not like it's

281
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: not triggering to me. But it's always like I'm like,

282
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: what a bold move to be playing the most violent

283
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 5: rap music in your car like no abology for with

284
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: people present, like with like I just like don't Or

285
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: sometimes I'll get into l A and they'll be listening

286
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: to straight up like Rush Limbaugh, like conservative talk radio,

287
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 5: and it's like, can you just like literally like put

288
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 5: on jazz, you know, like anything, Like you're this is

289
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 5: a situation where we all have to feel comfortable, and

290
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 5: I know that it sucks that we live in a

291
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: world where like we can't like any side, you know,

292
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: it's uncomfortable at something. But it's just like don't play

293
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: music then, yeah, or play Top forty. I don't care.

294
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: Joel you basically was like Christian Mango is not that bad.

295
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: He had eminem Like that's worse.

296
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: That's the complete opposite.

297
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. Sometimes though, oh you're driving, Like I'll be driving

298
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 5: like in this like in Texas doing a gig or

299
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 5: something like that, and I'll be like flipping through the

300
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 5: radio stations and I'll be like, oh, this sounds cool,

301
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 5: Like I don't often listen to the radio, and so

302
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840

Speaker 3: the way down.

316
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Was the car cute?

317
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: No it wasn't. It was so dusty. The cup holders

318
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: had ashes in it.

319
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: But I feel like when I get in an uber

320
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: and there's no music playing, that's almost worse.

321
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: It's like we can hear each other like swallow, like

322
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: actually we can wait. Well, that's in LA.

323
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: They don't have the music plan because they want to

324
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: talk to you. They want to have a conversation.

325
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: And here's what I recently realized about the real difference,

326
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 5: like the difference in person, That difference between New York

327
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 5: and LA is that I think, like, because people are

328
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: always like, oh, New Yorkers are rude and LA people

329
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 5: are kind. And I don't think it's it's not the rudeness.

330
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 5: It's what it is is that we are so in

331
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: New York. You are so used every day being skinned

332
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 5: to skin with strangers and like not addressing it and

333
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: just being like everyone's in their own world. We don't

334
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 5: need to like communicate with strangers, and that doesn't happen

335
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: in LA. And so when you're in a small enclosed

336
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: space with a stranger, you're like, oh, this is weird.

337
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 5: We should be talking. And then I'm sitting there as

338
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: a former New Yorker being like, oh, no, I can.

339
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: I can exist in a space with a stranger and

340
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 5: never look them in the eyes.

341
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I can't even describe it.

342
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 5: They look like, fine, this is a transaction I like.

343
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: And it's not like me being like I don't like

344
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 5: you or want it's just like not it does. I

345
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: don't want to see you. We don't need to be friends,

346
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 5: like this is a short interaction, and like I have

347
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: gotten and I'm sure I my rating has like plummeted

348
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 5: since they moved to LA because I just don't play ball,

349
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: Like I refuse.

350
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: We'll chat Sydney and I will get into an uber

351
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,479
Speaker 4: in LA and we'll talk to the drivers, not because.

352
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: It's easier when you have a friend though chat team,

353
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: and we promote our podcasts were I'm like, if you

354
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: love this conversation, listen to the unofficial expert.

355
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: I got a I got a date out of that.

356
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: We took together in LA with the driver customer and

357
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: we went to get French toast.

358
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: The next time, I was that's a fantasy. Actually, Like

359
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 5: sometimes I've I've gotten to my like late night and

360
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: I'm like.

361
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Are we living? Is this happening?

362
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 5: Should I move to the front?

363
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: So, Joel, where are you from?

364
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: I grew up right outside Chicago in the suburbs along

365
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: with Kanye by the way, Oh yikes, Sorry, can we

366
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,680

367
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 5: like chance, yes, you talk about Chicago. When Kanye talks

368
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: about Chicago, I'm like, bitch, you are not from don't

369
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: talk about like like you grew up on the fucking

370
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: South side of Chicago. His parents are affluent.

371
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Right, His mother was like a teacher or something.

372
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that both his parents had like white collar jobs,

373
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 5: Like it's a lot, And he was sorry, to dive in.

374
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Kanye is a liar.

375
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: Yeah to Chicago, Yeah, outstakers to Chicago, like thirty minutes

376
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: outside the city. Went to college down state, then moved

377
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 5: to the city proper right after college.

378
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: New York City.

379
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: No, no, Chicago, okay, also the city yeah.

380
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's only one. Yeah, and then uh yeah. I

381
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: was in Chicago for three years and then moved to

382
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: New York and was here for five.

383
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: What were you doing in Chicago?

384
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: Chicago? You know? I moved to Chicago because I wanted

385
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 5: to do theater.

386
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: I see that.

387
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: But like Second City is used there, right.

388
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Second City is the thing. But like for me,

389
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: I never had any designs to do comedy. I never was.

390
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: Still in fact, I in college auditioned for the improv

391
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: and sketch groups like three times.

392
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: I never made it three times. Listen. I tried out

393
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: for the basketball team one time, didn't it.

394
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: I that was probably a race thing, right, a race thing?

395
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? Wait her basketball or him? I think so. I

396
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 5: think it might be more of a gay thing.

397
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: Oh.

398
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: I wasn't even think about the gay. I was like,

399
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: the guy is good, the gay is theater? How dare

400
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: they improv comedy?

401
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: Also, you don't want you don't want to be the

402
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: Asian dude in the improv troupe because everything that like

403
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: as a as a black woman, every time I did

404
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 4: a scene in improv with like them UCB weird kids,

405
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: they'd be like, I'd come out and they'd be like,

406
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: and we're picking cotton and we're picking up cotton at

407
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 4: the store and they were like, no, we're just picking

408
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: and it was.

409
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: Like, no, it's a lot, it's a lot. But so yeah,

410
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: and so I never really thought about being doing comedy.

411
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: And then I was in Chicago and I was doing

412
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: theater and I was acting and I was writing, and

413
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 5: like I was like, this is fun. I really enjoyed it,

414
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 5: and I still love the community there to this day.

415
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 5: It's just like the more like three years in, I

416
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: started getting going in for auditions for like real ass

417
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: paying jobs, and it was weird. The more money you

418
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 5: got in theater in Chicago, the less interesting the roles

419
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 5: got for an Asian person because it was just like

420
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: you know, on the ground floor, like the storefront theater,

421
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: like you know, the equivalent to like a bar show. Here.

422
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: For sanem it was like great and cool and interesting

423
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 5: and like everyone was like, yeah, you're good, so well, yeah,

424
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: of course you can be the male lead in this,

425
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 5: you know, because like we buy that. And then like

426
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: you get to the good Men and the step in

427
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 5: Wolfs and like the the you know, the theaters that

428
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 5: are paying you an actual paycheck, and it's like, oh no,

429
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 5: actually we see you as this. And I was like, oh,

430
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 5: this is.

431
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: Like you own the store where the black girls get

432
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 4: their weave when you own this place, Like yeah, they're

433
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: not they're not writing stuff for people who don't look.

434
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 5: When there's money behind it, they get so scared and

435
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 5: they're like we can only do what the what the

436
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 5: culture says, you know, like they're not pushing boundaries. They're

437
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: just like we have this money, we have to follow

438
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 5: the rules that are set, but that we understand about

439
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 5: like who you know.

440
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: But what's so crazy about that is is they like

441
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: if somebody was just going to think outside the box

442
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: one time, then it'd be like, oh, that's I've seen

443
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: that already. Like we can do more of these things

444
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: with these people. Like I saw Crazy Rich Asian, Yeah,

445
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: I would feel it for that.

446
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: Did you see that movie?

447
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 5: I did? I saw it.

448
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.

449
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 5: I saw it an almost all Asian screening very early.

450
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: But the thing is, the thing is is, you know

451
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: what sucks about the representation conversation is that like literally

452
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 5: everyone is like, you must see this movie because if

453
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 5: this movie doesn't do well, then we will get no more.

454
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: That's what they said about Black Panther.

455
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like, we what an awful position to

456
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: be in as an Asian person or a black person

457
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: who It's like, maybe maybe you don't want to watch

458
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 5: Black Panther, but you feel obli no, no, no.

459
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: No, you want to watch Black Part I mean, everybody

460
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: got to watch.

461
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: But let's talk about the plethora of beige films that

462
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 4: are trash. But they can keep doing them because they

463
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about doing a bad Everything Catherine

464
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 4: Heigel has done, I would say, I look back.

465
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: I look back, and I feel so guilty for how

466
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 5: hard I went in on looking the Gay, Sex and

467
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 5: the City Show on HBO because I didn't even everyone

468
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: hated it. A lot of people hated it online. Never

469
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 5: heard myself included exactly. And and the thing is is

470
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: looking now like I'll go out, I'll take all like

471
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: I took a show like a year ago. Uh, to

472
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: pitch and everyone before we went into like any place,

473
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 5: they're like, do not bring up looking because it is

474
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: seen as a failure, and you have. There has not

475
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 5: been a show with gay with four gay male leads

476
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: since that show about specifically about a group of gay friends.

477
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: And because every every exec is like, well that show failed,

478
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: So it's it clearly must be because people don't want

479
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: to watch a show about gay people. And it was like, no,

480
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 5: that show was just like not very exciting.

481
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: It was right, and it was poorly written.

482
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just like so and even watching was

483
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: probably terrible.

484
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 5: It was just like it's four gay men and it

485
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: was a little snoozy, and it's like, come on.

486
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: It was the most.

Speaker 1: Wa, my god, who got ACR?

513
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: Well exactly. I actually had a friend in Chicago and

Speaker 5: she worked at like gay sort of like kmart, basically

515

00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 5: she was like a cool girl. She was like with it.

518
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 5: She wasn't an idiot. But I remember at a party

519
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 5: once she was like, yeah, She's like is are like

520
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: are there like a lot of movies that are only

521
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 5: on vhs in the gay community that like, you're like

522
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: really big. And I was like, what are you talking about, Mary?

523
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 5: And she's like, these gay guys come in all the

524
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 5: time to buy VCR clean and it's like, who still

525
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 5: has a VCR? And I'm like, oh.

526
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: Wait, how do you take poppers?

527
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: You sniff they're a little bottle and you sniff. Yeah, okay,

528
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 5: I have them in my back.

529
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: And what does it do.

530
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 5: What it does is it gives you a head rush.

531
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: And it also, more importantly, the reason why it's so

532
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 5: big in the gay community is it dilates you and

533
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: so it loosens you up and makes it easier to take.

534
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: A dick, good dick.

535
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: So why don't you just do g.

536
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 5: Well, that doesn't give you like the body loosening like thing,

537
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: and that's like more of a commitment. Like Popper's last

538
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 5: it's a head rush that lasts for like thirty seconds.

539
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: Wait, hurry up and take it in. Hurry up and

540
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: get the dick. Like what if you change your mind?

541
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 5: You do it like literally as you're like, as it's

542
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: going it's going in.

543
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you doing with Sitny last night that you

544
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: took it in front of well, it's also like we were.

545
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: Getting head closer, we were prepping for the podcast head Rush.

546
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 5: The head rush is also like it's euphoric. It's like

547
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 5: a thirty second euphoria and so like it's fun to do,

548
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: like and then you really do just like want to

549
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 5: dance and like and then you're it's done.

550
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 4: After I feel like you can just do Molly for it,

551
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: I know, but that's again a commitment commit.

552
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: This is a man who has things.

553
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm surprised busy I'm turning so many straight people

554
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 5: into poppers in LA because it's such a like, oh,

555
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: I have to drive, so I can't drink or I

556
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 5: can't do drugs because I don't want to be under

557
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 5: the influence. And it's like.

558
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they don't gentrify it. They gentrify, don't up.

559
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 5: The thing is is it if you taken it works

560
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 5: for your like it loosens everything up. So it loosens

561
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 5: all the wholes up. So I know I've turned a

562
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: lot of straight when we're onto it because it's like

563
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: my holes is the tight exactly why you would need it,

564
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: you know, because it like dilates you and like it

565
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: makes everything a little easier for both men and women

566
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: if you are being penetrated.

567
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: This podcast has been sponsored by Poppers, Yes it has.

568
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: I will say it's it's bad because there are a

569
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 5: lot of different brands, and like when I was young,

570
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, there are poppers, are poppers, it's

571
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 5: all the same. And now it's gotten to the point

572
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: where I'm like, no, there certain brands are better. Jungle

573
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: Juice is better than rush.

574
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: So now you're being.

575
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: It is what you should be the experts. What's a

576
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: bad what's a bad popper?

577
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 5: A bad popper will just give you like it initially

578
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: feels like the head rush, but then you'll get a

579
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: headache really easily, or it won't like some make honestly

580
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: make me feel hornier than others. Like some which one

581
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 5: like jungle juice. Jungle Juice, I think it's the one.

582
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Juice sounds like a win to me.

583
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: Also, there's also now like artisanal like Poppers brands that

584
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 5: are popping up. I was at fulsome street fair in

585
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 5: San Francisco, which is like a huge gay sex estal.

586
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: It's a gay street festival where people are like fucking

587
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 5: in the streets of San Francisco and there's the guys

588
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 5: walking out with these trays and it's I believe Double

589
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 5: Scorpio is the brand. And it was like poppers, but

590
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: like a minty, like eucalyptus, sort of like I think yeah,

591
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,160

Speaker 5: That's beautiful, gorgeous.

596
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: So let's talk about you move into New York, right,

607
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 5: was getting ready to move to LA and I remember

608
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: like talking to her on a break and I was like,

609
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 5: I'm really frustrated with like, you know, the acting in

610
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 5: the theater and blah, blah blah, and I'm I'm not

611
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 5: feeling represented. I'm not by these roles. And she was like, well,

612
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720

617
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: her about this, she does not remember. It was such

618
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 5: a casual like we're just sitting on a break, like chatting.

619
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 5: And I ended up trying it once. I crashed the

620
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: first time, thank god, because if I bombed, I don't

621
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 5: think I'd ever would have tried it again. I looking back,

622
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you a single joke that I had

623

624
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: years ago, and then I just like I did. It

625
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 5: was hard in Chicago because I was like, I didn't

626
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: know how stand up worked. I didn't know that I

627
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 5: was supposed to be going to open mics and stuff

628
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 5: like that, and like, and so what happened was is

629
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 5: I would get booked in these like weird gigs because

630
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 5: like people in the theater community would knew that I

631
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: was starting to do stand up and they were like, Oh,

632
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: do you want to open for this play just to.

633
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: Stand up this play freaking love the theater?

634
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh sure, and I did it.

635
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: Plays and needed little help, you know, you got the

636
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: audience out before you get into this exactly.

637
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 5: And then like I would start getting booked at like

638
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 5: clubs in Chicago, and other stand ups in Chicago really

639
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: resented me because they were like, well, he didn't put

640
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 5: in the time, he didn't do the But the thing

641
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: is when you're worry about when you're in a smaller

642
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 5: community like that, people really do get fixated on like

643
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 5: line jumping and like you gotta do this.

644
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: It is a line jumping if I'm better than you, exactly,

645
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: since you could backcut.

646
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 5: Well, and there's a lot of like oh because matero

647
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 5: Leane and I were both in the scene at the time,

648
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 5: and Mattereo was so supportive at the beginning and really

649
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: did like he was the one who explained to me, like,

650
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 5: like you should be going to these open mics and

651
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 5: stuff like that too. But he was also like fuck

652
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: them all because like this was a time, like it

653
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 5: was only like eight years ago, but it does. It

654
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 5: was so different to be a gay stand up comedian

655
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 5: back then, because there was so much more hostility from

656
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: other stand ups who were like, oh, you're just going

657
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 5: on stage and like talking about being gay and people

658
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 5: will laugh at that. And was like, no, bitch, I'm

659
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 5: writing setup punchline, set up punchline, like fuck you, just

660
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: because like I'm talking about my dating life and it's

661
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: a little bit different than yours, right, Like you're resenting

662
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: the fact that they're like it's just like it was

663
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: such a more hostile environment.

664
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I can see it.

665
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 5: It is now. I like, there's so many of us

666
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 5: now and it's so great, and it's like back then, Matteo,

667
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: it was the only other gay stand up that I

668
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 5: really knew, and there was a lot more not between

669
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 5: me and Matereo, but like I think like we were

670
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 5: just exiting this period where like gay stand ups were

671
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: really competitive with each other because we knew there would

672
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 5: only be even even in my even my early years

673
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 5: in New York, Like it would be like Mateo would

674
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: cancel on a show and I get a Facebook message

675
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: being like, hey, we need okay.

676
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: Basically that was like the subtext of it.

677
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 5: And I was like, it was it was a long

678
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 5: time before Mateo and I would just casually be on

679
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 5: the same lineup without it being an explicitly gay stand

680
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: up show. And then now it's nice because it's like

681
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: Matalona are very different stand ups. Yes, we have very

682
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 5: different styles, talk about different shit. Yeah, and it's like,

683
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 5: there's no reason why we couldn't be on the same bill.

684
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: It's not redundant at all.

685
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: But it's so redundant when you hear this the same

686
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: Chad Ryan Connor jokes and it's like, yes, you hate

687
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: your mother, you went on a bad.

688
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: Day, the stool, the stool Toronto.

689
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: The word nigga in the set somewhere like it's like,

690
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: it's so that's redundant to me.

691
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 5: It was so different. And so what happened was is

692
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 5: I would come out. I started. I had a lot

693
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 5: of friends who are not a lot, but some theater

694
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: college friends that were out here, and so I would

695
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: come out and visit and I would do shows. And

696
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: I remember I had only been doing stand up for

697
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 5: maybe seriously for like a year and a half, two

698
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 5: years at this point, and I came out to New

699
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 5: York and I did why it's the next night train.

700
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: No way. That was such a good show.

701
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 5: And it's only because I did, Like it was like

702
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 5: truly a friend of a friend, like like gave me

703
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: Mary Anne where like Booker extra my tape and she

704
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: booked me and I did that show, and like after

705
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 5: that show, like I remember talking to her and she

706
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 5: was just like, well, you're you're good at this. She's like,

707
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: when are you coming here? And I was like, oh,

708
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 5: I don't know, because everyone in Chicago was like, you

709
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: gotta wait. You gotta wait six years doing this before

710
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 5: you go to New York, or you gotta do this show.

711
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 5: You gotta do this show. You got it, like before

712
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: you go you have to hit these marks. And I

713
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 5: was like yeah, I'm just sort of like waiting. And

714
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: she was like, well you're good. She's like, do you

715
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 5: want to do this? Do you want to do comedy

716
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,600

00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: enough to do this, so just what are you waiting for? Right?

720
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 5: Literally I got back to Chicago. A month and a

721
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: half later, I moved to New York.

722
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: You picked up all your ship and you.

723
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,680

724
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: won me to New York. Came lived in a fucking

725
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 5: terrible loft situation with seven roommates. No, no joel roommate.

726
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: Where Bushwick lived in it was a duplex. It was

727
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 5: a two story duplex, so there were we each did

728
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: have our own rooms were all the way we will

729
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 5: hold a hold on.

730
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't know no place in Bushwick that you have

731
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: seven motherfuckers in there.

732
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Warehouse. How many bathrooms?

733
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: Two?

734
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: That's not enough bathroom? No, not for and everyone people,

735
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 4: I need three four bathrooms.

736
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the difference between like New York and LA.

737
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: You'll have all this these roommates in LA. You can

738
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: literally your face.

739
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 5: That's what I mean. That's why I decided to stay.

740
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 5: So I went out there a year ago almost to

741
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: today to work on a show, and I was like,

742
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 5: I'm coming back to New York. I'm going to work

743
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 5: for three months on this show, and then I'm coming

744
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: back to New York. I am not done with New York.

745
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: And then I was subletting this apartment in LA and

746
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 5: the apartment next door opened up, and I was like

747
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: casually like looking because I gave up my apartment. I

748
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 5: was like, I'm ready to live alone in New York.

749
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 5: I'm going to find it. And I was like from LA,

750
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 5: I was like looking at apartments and like trying to

751
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: work with a broker and like the nightmare of looking

752
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 5: for an apartment.

753
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: In New York and brokers they they get you with

754
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 4: that little twelve percent broker's fee and you think that

755
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: means a month, but it's twelve percent of the year.

756
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: It's a lot of money. It's expensive, and I was

757
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 5: like looking at what I could afford. And the thing

758
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: is is, so the apartment next door to the one

759
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 5: that I was sup letting opened up and it was

760
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 5: the landlord and I was like, hey, can I just

761
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: like look at this apartment and it was a one

762
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 5: bedroom and it was truly like for what I'm paying

763
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: for this one bedroom now I would have to live

764
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: in like far East flat Bush in a studio, you know.

765
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: And I was like, can I look at this apartment?

766
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: And he was like sure, I looked at it. I

767
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: was like, how would I apply for this? And he

768
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 5: was literally like do you just want it? And I

769
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 5: was like it was me for you? Yeah, And within

770
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: four hours I hadn't even like seriously considered permanently moving

771
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 5: to la And then within four hours, I literally he

772
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: was like, just write me a check and I'll give

773
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: you the keys. And I wrote him the check and

774
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 5: he handed me the keys, and I suddenly had a

775
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: one bedroom.

776
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 4: Apartment dry right now, come on, just give me the money.

777
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 5: Man. Antonio Diaz is the best landlord I've ever had.

778
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: He's the sweetest man. This is his story. This is crazy.

779
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: OK.

780
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 5: So this guy, the guy who owned my building, has

781
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: three buildings on the block and they're all small, like

782
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 5: nineteen units each. Whatever. Yeah, and he and his wife

783
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 5: died and they had no kids, and then he got

784
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 5: cancer and he was dying and Tony is the super

785
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 5: of my building. And Tony took care of him until

786
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 5: he died and unbnowso Tony he left him all three buildings.

787
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: So Tony.

788
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: So Tony went from being just the super of this

789
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 5: building to owning three buildings on this block. And he's

790
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: such a good dude. He's like, it's just easier for

791
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 5: me not to raise the rent and know that every

792
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 5: single apartment will be filled immediately than like raising the

793
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 5: rent every year and kicking people out and pricing people out.

794
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 5: Do you want to know how fucking good he is.

795
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 5: I went abroad to do shows and I was gone

796
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 5: for like a month and a half, and I am

797
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: such a bad driver. This is something we can talk

798
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 5: about in LA. My bumper was like lapsided. It was

799
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: like hanging down low on one side. And I left

800
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 5: and I came back. That motherfucker fixed my bumper because

801
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 5: it quote unquote made him sad to look at. And

802
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: I was just like, I was.

803
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: Like, what Tony Way.

804
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 5: He's he's an older Hispanic man, just three lovely dogs,

805
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 5: and I think he has a girlfriend. I think he

806
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 5: has I think he has.

807
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: A girlfriend and girlfriend.

808
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 5: He's actually like he's an older guy and not for me,

809
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 5: but he is a handsome man. You can tell you

810
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 5: can tell me he's a handsome man. And the thing is, oh,

811
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 5: people were furious when I got this apartment because it

812
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: is the building where like people one opens up and

813
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 5: everyone is like trying to get their friends in there

814
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: immediately because so there's it is funny because there's like

815
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 5: three like families. Basically you can you can trace the

816
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 5: lineage of every person back to like who initially like

817
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 5: tipped them off. Because I literally found out about it

818
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 5: almost the day that it opened up, because like I

819
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 5: was down by my pool hanging with one of the

820
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 5: neighbors and he casually mentioned he was like, hey, yeah,

821
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 5: that unit next to you is opening up, and I

822
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 5: was like, oh crazy. I was like, I should talk

823
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 5: to Tony about it, and he was like, you should

824
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 5: do it right now, because literally people find out.

825
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: Put on your pants now and go and talk to

826
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: or did you go up to Tony, you know, to speedo.

827
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: He was like, hey, just doing that's.

828
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 5: A big part of it, because honestly, I was like,

829
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: it was December at this point and I was in

830
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 5: my spudo by apool and I was like, you know what,

831
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 5: I lived in the Midwest my entire life. I've done

832
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 5: New York for five years. Done with winter.

833
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: I hate the winter so much.

834
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 5: I'm from October and it's frigid outs.

835
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: And you didn't bring no jacket.

836
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: I brought you one jean jacket that's not forgot what

837
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: it's like here.

838
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it's October. I figured this is jean jacket

839
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 5: money September and like the thing is and I said

840
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 5: this just a second ago to a friend. But I

841
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 5: was just like this is the first I've been back

842
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 5: to New York. Almost every month that since I've I left,

843
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 5: except for literally September is the only time I haven't

844
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 5: been back. And this is the first trip back where

845
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 5: I literally walking here. I was like, I don't miss

846
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 5: this as much as I thought.

847
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: That's what happened.

848
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 2: You're growing.

849
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: That's growth, boo. It's called break through.

850
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 4: I need.

851
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 5: I was like, I am glad I only have two

852
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 5: more days because I just like, I can't do the cold.

853
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 5: I got to get back, and I like, and it

854
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 5: was you in the right place. It is, well, you know,

855
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 5: it was really hard. The first like four to five

856
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: months were really because so what happened is is basically

857
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 5: just flip. Because I'd been going out there to do

858
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 5: work ship for a while and I had a friend

859
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 5: group out there. I had my gaze, you know, a

860
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 5: good plan. Though.

861
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: Is it like when you go to LA have ship

862
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: set up, because I feel like you can struggle in

863
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: New York and bumming out and make it work in LA.

864
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: You really got to have something going on.

865
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: You have to have another support system in place because

866
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 5: it is so lonely.

867
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is what I was going to say, because

868
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: I lived in LA for a while and I didn't

869
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 4: know anybody, and when I got there, I didn't like

870
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 4: it because I knew, no.

871
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 5: It's so much harder. No one hangs out there. Like

872
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 5: the lovely thing about coming back to New York is

873
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 5: I know that in New York I can show up

874
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 5: at a show and I will go. I will see

875
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 5: a thousand people I know, and then we will move

876
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 5: to a second and third location. In LA, you never

877
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 5: moved to a second location. You go to the show

878
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 5: and then everyone disperses and that's it. Or you like

879
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: have plans to go to this party and that is

880
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 5: the location you know, and so it is. It's a

881
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 5: much it's an adjustment because it is like you have

882
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 5: to plan, and like people don't want to leave their

883
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 5: houses because they're so big. That's the thing, that's why

884
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 5: people go out so much in New York. As you're

885
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 5: trying to escape your small ass apartment with your roommates,

886
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: you're like, just get me out of here. I need

887
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 5: to be out of this like claustrophobic space. And in

888
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 5: LA everyone has these great parents that they're like, I

889
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 5: would rather be here.

890
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 4: You're like, well, we have a full balcony and it's

891
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 4: two bathrooms like I had two bathroom.

892
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: I have my own bathroom. When I lived in La

893
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: and a balcony.

894
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 4: We wheeled the TV out onto the balcony ones and

895
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: watched The Lion King on a Sunday just outside.

896
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't do this in New York.

897
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: It is why do we bum it out here so hard?

898
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: Why do we go? Because for New York the way we.

899
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 4: Do because we're all struggling, so we're all kind of sad.

900
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 4: But then in La, the sun is shining and it

901
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: does there is nice.

902
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: It is nice to be able because this is the

903
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: other thing. I hated La the first couple of times

904
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 5: they went, because you really do have to know the

905
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 5: spots to go, Like I ended up between meetings and

906
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 5: shiit like just going to fucking Barnes and Noble or

907
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 5: whatever or Chipotle because there is like a sprawling suburb

908
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 5: almost and New York. You walk outside your door, you

909
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 5: can take five steps and there will probably be something

910
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 5: interesting or cool to sit at. A cool coffee, what

911
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: a nice restaurant In La. If you don't want to

912
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 5: go to a chain, you have to know like where

913
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 5: to go because it is just like everything is a

914
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 5: strip mall and everything is a Chipotle. Right.

915
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: It spread out, everything spread out, and.

916
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 5: So you can't it's really hard to just bum around LA.

917
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 5: You know, like you can just like kick around New

918
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 5: York forever.

919
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 4: Right, because you'll eventually find walking in New York is easy.

920
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 4: When I was walking in LA, it is easy because

921
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 4: Pep's so much to see. There's so many people that

922
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 4: you can randomly bump into. In LA, they look at you.

923
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 5: If you were walking in LA, people are like almost yeah, truly,

924
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 5: I like the and there's a lot of places don't

925
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 5: have sidewalks, so you're like the street, I know, like

926
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 5: weird curved grass area by.

927
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: The ball tree roots are like up and you're like.

928
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like it's dangerous. It's dangerous to be

929
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 5: out walking in l A.

930
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it gets it's just too many people on

931
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 3: the sidewalk, and then the people who want to fucking

932
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: a whole hand to me and a group.

933
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 5: With each other.

934
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: It's just it's so phobic.

935
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 5: And say, in.

936
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 3: Times Square and the Lower East Side, it's like where

937
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: can I go?

938
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: And I just have a sidewalk to myself.

939
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: Miss And the first time I went to L a

940
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: I was like, it's so clean here, and then I

941
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: saw when the dirty people were. But I was like, wow,

942
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: I don't even think because for the longest time I

943
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 4: thought pigeons were only New York based.

944
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: I never seen a pigeon I think travel.

945
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: I was loo, look at these dirty doves, like I like,

946
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 4: I didn't know that that was the thing anywhere else

947
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 4: except here.

948
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. But here's the thing though, that is crazy, is

949
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 5: that you will miss that energy of like walking, You'll

950
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 5: miss it. It's I don't know. I live of nice.

951
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 5: I found. Then the other thing I like about my

952
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 5: neighborhood is slightly walkable. It is like just walkable. I

953

954
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,000

957
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,560

Speaker 1: Also walking distance to the Scientology Center because.

961
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 5: It's scary there. You know what's crazy is that whoever

962
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 5: used to live in my apartment, I get mail for him,

963
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 5: and he gets hand written letters from the Church of

964
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 5: Scientology being like where are you? We miss you? And

965
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 5: my thing is I think they disappeared him and they're

966
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 5: sending these letters to to be like we've been saying,

967
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 5: we've been sending him letters asking him where it's I

968
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 5: don't know where he is in cursive Oh yeah, always

969
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 5: because it's from the Church of Scientology, and I'm like,

970
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: I gotta know. I wanted The first time I started

971
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 5: doing is because I was like, oh, I want to

972
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 5: know a secret. I want to know what's really did

973
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 5: you It's just like, well, yeah, I know, it's full falling,

974
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 5: full fall, I say. I will say to the other

975
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 5: thing that happened to me after a year in LA

976
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 5: is that so like here, I would much rather on

977
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 5: a beautiful day in New York walk like two miles

978
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: than get wait for a bus or get in a

979
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 5: train or whatever, go down underground. If it's in La

980
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: now it is so funny, like wool Park somewhere, and

981
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 5: my friends and I will be walking like can we

982
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: just take an uber and they're like, Joel, it's literally

983
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 5: seven blocks and I'm like that's so far. I can't

984
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 5: walk that far. And they're like, you're from New York

985
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I just refuse. I'm like any distance,

986
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 5: I will drive my car literally three minutes to the right.

987
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 5: Aig Now, because I am a terror, I am destroying

988
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 5: the planet. I'm the reason we have twelve years left

989
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: on this planet.

990
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: No. No, it's also because like there's less to see

991
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 4: in LA when you're walking. Yeah, it's like it's just

992
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 4: like the side of a building and then a boom,

993
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: and then a target and then another building and look,

994
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 4: six types of palm trees. But it's just it's a

995
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 4: different walk. Seven minute walk in New York is nothing.

996
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 3: No, but it's a great walk because the air is

997
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 3: freaking clean.

998
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: They they got smoke.

999
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 5: I have a website in LA that tells you, uh

1000
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 5: that it checks the air quality. And the other week

1001
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 5: in LA, because there were forest fires in Canada that

1002
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 5: the wind was blowing down. If you spent at six

1003
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 5: hours or more outdoors in LA, it was the equivalent

1004
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: of smoking three cigarettes.

1005
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

1006
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 5: It's actually been really rough transition. You'd think that it

1007
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 5: would be better in LA for me, but I have

1008
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 5: asthma and my long are bad and so like I

1009
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 5: truly have to like hide indoors sometimes.

1010
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 4: With asthmatic as right, you have one of the little

1011
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 4: you don't wear, the little mask, the little surgeon mask.

1012
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: No, you can't do that.

1013
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 5: Exactly.

1014
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 4: So what are your favorite places to be in La? Like,

1015
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 4: people listening that are like, well, where where should I go?

1016
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: Acbar is I think one of the best gay bars

1017
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 5: in the country. It's a gay dive. People will find

1018
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 5: that suspect because it is like a very much a

1019
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: dive bar. But I love it.

1020
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: Where is it.

1021
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 5: It's on the east Side, It's in Silver Lake. It

1022
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 5: it's just I like, it's like a neighborhood gay bar

1023
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 5: in a way that reminds me a little bit of

1024
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 5: It's cheers. It is like one of the few places

1025
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 5: in LA I know I can show up any night

1026
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 5: of the week and I will see probably at least

1027
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 5: someone I know, which is actually kind of the nightmare

1028
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 5: of being gay in LA. I will say, is that

1029
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 5: somebody that you know? They're So the gay community feels

1030
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 5: so much smaller in LA in a couple of different ways,

1031
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 5: and so a it's sort of segregated from like to

1032
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 5: three different areas downtown gays, east side gays, West side gays.

1033
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 5: What's the difference West Hollywood gays are your house kitchen,

1034
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: your health kitchen, your Chelsea games. So gay gay, yes,

1035
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 5: like hard gay. And then like you've got your East

1036
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 5: Side gays, which are a little bit more like you're Williamsburg,

1037
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 5: You're East Village like sort of a nice like sort

1038
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 5: of normal, like middle of the road, like you're getting

1039
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 5: a little bit of variety in there. Yeah, and then

1040
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 5: downtown is like Crown Heights Bushwick, Like you know.

1041
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: So is that what I'm seeing? Yeah, you're urbane.

1042
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 5: No, they're spread throughout, but yeah, it's more gays. No,

1043
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 5: I'm thinking like like gentrified Bushwick, so like uh, like

1044
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 5: white twins wearing thrist straw clothes.

1045
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: But it's like, I don't know if you're a gay

1046
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: or a hipster.

1047
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 5: That's not an exact science. But but yeah, no, it's

1048
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 5: crazy because I feel like in New York, I could

1049
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 5: hook up with a guy that I met out and

1050
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 5: then they would just disappear into the myst that I

1051
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 5: never have to see them again. I casually dated this guy,

1052
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 5: uh when I first moved there, which is a mistake.

1053
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 5: But the thing is is like everyone was in the

1054
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 5: business of it because they're like, oh, you're dating Sam,

1055
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 5: Like he dated everybody like he didated this person I

1056
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 5: hooked up with Sam.

1057
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: Everybody you feel about that, though, like you're just not

1058
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 3: gonna get one person who just doesn't hook.

1059
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: Up with everybody.

1060
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 5: True.

1061
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: True, in every.

1062
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 3: Community, there's always that one person, and it's just like, well,

1063
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 3: let's see how they do.

1064
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: Maybe they're really good.

1065
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 5: That's why everybody's yeah, well we were both great and honestly,

1066
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 5: like it was a source of growth because I tend

1067
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 5: to like I fucking nicely. I prefer to like see

1068
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 5: them disappearing miss like I said, but with Sam, because

1069
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 5: like he used friends with all my friends and we're

1070
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 5: in like there are sixteen game and on the east Side.

1071
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 5: Basically we stopped dating. He was like, I don't I'm

1072
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 5: not feeling this and like and I was like, that's cool.

1073
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 5: And now he is one of my best friends in LA.

1074
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't be nobody's best friend.

1075
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: I no way, but no it is.

1076
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 5: And like I have never had I I don't think

1077
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 5: I've ever been friends with someone after casually dating them,

1078
00:45:59,360 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 5: like and hooking.

1079
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever stayed friends with an ex?

1080
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 5: No, but will do that. LA will do that.

1081
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: Never even wanted to attempt that.

1082
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 3: Like we we will chat like through d MS a

1083
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,880

Speaker 3: you can't come back there.

1086
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 5: But the thing is is he we we ended things.

1087
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 5: He like we stopped like cooking up and dating like

00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 5: like that's like that's an over Like that's too much

1090
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 5: giving it to just like to even talk about what

1091
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 5: I like it was. It was a lot, and it

1092
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 5: was like weird because it was just felt like it

1093
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 5: was happening in front of an audience, you know.

1094
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: Like people in my business.

1095
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 5: And here it's just like there's so much noise in

1096
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 5: New York that like no one can it's really hard

1097
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 5: to pay attention unless you're like the circle of attention

1098
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 5: is much smaller in New York, whereas in l A

1099
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 5: there's not a whole lot going on, so everyone's sort

1100
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 5: of like reaching for like pointing.

1101
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: If you guys broke up, you guys still do you

1102
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: know he used to date? Sound and so shut up?

1103
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 5: You know what the other tell me who he used

1104
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 5: to date. The other nightmare of being in LA is

1105
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 5: that it does feel like in New York, I had

1106
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 5: a very diverse group of gay male friends that I

1107
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 5: would hang out with often, and then that all walks

1108
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 5: of life, many different professions, many different interests. In LA,

1109
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 5: everyone works in the industry, every game.

1110
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 3: Little air, even the people who drive the like and

1111
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: in New York, the Uber drivers, You're like, oh, I

1112
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: know he got some home in Queen's Historia.

1113
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: He don't like comedy. Like he's just like, this is

1114
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: what I do.

1115
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm a driver.

1116
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 3: But in LA everybody's like, well, you know I'm working

1117
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 3: on my SCRIPTU you know, I'm a director.

1118
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: I also music videos.

1119
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: The Uber drivers though, like I had a driver drop

1120
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 4: me off at like the Sony lot and the guy

1121
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I just want to be where I

1122
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 4: want to be where you are right now?

1123
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, can you just drive me to

1124
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: where I'm going? Yeah, Now I'm sad.

1125
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 5: Now I'm sad.

1126
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: It's like I'm just gonna turn my music all the

1127
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: way up.

1128
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 4: And but like they're like they're telling you what they

1129
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: want to do while they're dropping you off where you going.

1130
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 5: But and the thing is is like a lot of

1131
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 5: the game and they're like working and they're like doing

1132
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 5: cool things. But it's just like it's weird when like

1133
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 5: you see a casting director that you just audition for,

1134
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 5: like getting fucking railed in the dark room at Spotlight.

1135
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 5: You know, my god, it's just like so you want.

1136
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: After dinner drink.

1137
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 5: So once again, let me the true hard part about

1138
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 5: being gay in LA is there is only one cool

1139
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 5: thing that happens every weekend for gay people. Like whereas

1140
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 5: here there's like cool bars and parties and blah blah

1141
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 5: blah you can go to that come through. But truly

1142
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 5: in l A. It is like like I remember last

1143
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 5: Halloween I was in LA and there's this monthly party

1144
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 5: called Spotlight. It's like a little bit of like a

1145
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 5: circuit party and like you get you you r v

1146
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 5: P and then they send out the location night it's

1147
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 5: a warehouse party like it it moves around. Yeah, it's cool.

1148
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 5: There's a couple of those, Yeah, it's it's it's And

1149
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 5: there's a couple of those that happened on a rotating

1150
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 5: basis in l A. And like you see, I literally

1151
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 5: will text friends when I'm there. I'll be like, hey,

1152
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 5: are you coming, And they, without any like discussion of it,

1153
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 5: they'll be like no, I'm on my way. And it's

1154
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 5: just because we I didn't even have to say are

1155
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 5: you coming to Spotlight, because I know there's only one

1156
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 5: thing going on that night, And so.

1157
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: I love that. Yes, it's like a traveling house of years.

1158
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 5: Yes it really is. And and so it's like it's

1159
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 5: in these different spots it's very secretive and like but

1160
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 5: not really and then like everyone's doing whatever they want.

1161
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 5: And this is the other nice thing that I actually

1162
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 5: noticed on this trip back to New York is that

1163
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 5: because our gay community is so sprawling and there are

1164
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 5: so many of us here, we self segregate in a

1165
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 5: way that like I went to this uh sort of

1166
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 5: illegal gay bar in Bushwick called Spectrum, and like everything

1167
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 5: it's new ish, it's new ish. It's like one of

1168
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 5: those places like kids are smucking indoors.

1169
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 4: It's you're not gay together, Like what the hell can

1170
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: gay map quest?

1171
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 5: Everyone Everyone in Bushwick in the gay scene like looks

1172
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 5: roughly the same, just exactly the same. But because there's

1173
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 5: only this like one cool thing that happens in LA

1174
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 5: for gay people, every like of gay is sort of

1175
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 5: forced to compete together, and like like it's just like West,

1176
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 5: like West Hollywood muscle gays like little queer gender queer,

1177
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 5: like you know, all boys and like me and like

1178
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 5: my friends and like you know, everyone in between is

1179
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 5: sort of like congregating together because we just sort of

1180
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 5: have to, which I kind of like because you can

1181
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 5: taste a little.

1182
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: Bit of everything.

1183
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 5: But these parties are cool. There's like you know, it's

1184
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 5: in a warehouse and then there's a dark room where

1185
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 5: you can just.

1186
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 4: Sort of go in develop photos, develop photos.

1187
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: But is that what we're calling fucking.

1188
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 5: Now developing the photos? And so it can be rough though,

1189
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 5: because like I love a public seck act. I truly

1190
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 5: like I you know, I, well, what do you love

1191
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 5: about a public six? I'm an exhibition I just pulled

1192
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 5: my fucking pants down there in studio. You could just

1193
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 5: roll exactly exactly. No, I do love that. It is

1194
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 5: harder though, like it is like sort of the catch

1195
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 5: twenty two. I like wanting to be famous. Is that

1196
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 5: like the more I do ship that's like out there

1197
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 5: in the world, people will like.

1198
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: Be like, is that jo, Yeah, but you got to

1199
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: do that.

1200
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 3: You got to do that early in the in the career,

1201
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 3: so people be like, oh, it's nothing, that's what you do.

1202
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all this ship and the pretty big part

1203
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 5: of my brand. It is like it is not like

1204
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 5: a shock by any means when the people see me

1205
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 5: going in and out the dark room, right, and but

1206
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 5: it is like weird sometimes we're all like I got

1207
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 5: in a fight with the manager at my Equinox because

1208
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 5: he wouldn't do this thing for me, and then I

1209
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 5: truly saw him getting railed in the dark room. That's so.

1210
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 3: And now I feel like, hey, Brian, you should said

1211
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 3: that you shouldn't let him know that you saw him.

1212
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't care.

1213
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 5: Oh, I know you just so you sort of have

1214
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 5: to let it go after a little bit of time.

1215
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 2: But I'm petty, Yeah, bring it up.

1216
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Brian, hey, can I talk to you

1217
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: for a moment. Actually, this is a perfect I was

1218
00:51:53,360 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: just going to ask you for a favor. So petty,

1219
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: truly petty.

1220
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 4: So this guy so Equinox is that you is that

1221
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 4: gym of choice in LA.

1222
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 5: That is the gym of choice. And I regret it

1223
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 5: truly every day.

1224
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 4: Month.

1225
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 5: It's so expensive and quite honestly not worth it, not

1226
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 5: in any way worth it.

1227
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,479
Speaker 2: Well, the trainers are not that great.

1228
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 5: The trainers are not that great. I'm my trainer, was

1229
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,400

1234
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 5: the situations I asked him for help with something when

Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was like and I knew he's from Boston.

1242
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, he's probably gonna be like a

1243
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 5: Trump supporter or like a race I don't know. So

1244
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 5: then at the end of our session, I was like

1245
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 5: on pins and needles the whole time, and then he

1246
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 5: was like stretching me on and I was like, oh,

1247
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm going to Boston soon for shows, and he was

1248
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 5: like cool. He's like, Boston is just full of fucking cops.

1249
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 5: And then on Earth's Birth he was like, em racist.

1250
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, you can stretch me opened up.

1251
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 5: No, He's like the best dude. And then he also

1252
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 5: like he listened to my album, which was so sweet,

1253
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 5: and he was like, and I talked about hooking up

1254
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 5: in steamer rooms at the gym on my album. It's

1255
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 5: all of my closers, and he was like, thank you

1256
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 5: so much for contextualizing some of the nonsense behavior I

1257
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 5: see going on in this gym STU. He's like, I

1258
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 5: thought guys were just being rude, but now I think

1259
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 5: they were hitting on me. And I was like Brendan

1260
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 5: and they were absolutely But he he was an Equinox

1261
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 5: trainer and he quit because he was like I had

1262
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 5: to disagree with the management. And he's like, you can

1263
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 5: come with me to this other gym though, and like

1264
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 5: you don't have to be a member at the gym.

1265
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 5: You can just pay me, and because they're cool, that's okay.

1266
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: He went to Boutique a very chill, very lovely I

1267
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 5: actually really like. But he told me once, uh, he

1268
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, part of the problem he had with

1269
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 5: them is that they really put the pressure on to

1270
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 5: be like sales there as a trainer and like not

1271
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 5: goal orange, and he was like the man. My manager

1272
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 5: kept being like, you need to start flirting with gay men.

1273
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 5: You need to go out there, and he's like your

1274
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 5: target should be older gay men and like you should

1275
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 5: go out there while they're working out and like flirt

1276
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 5: with them a little bit and then get them to

1277
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 5: sign up, and then like they'll never meet their goals.

1278
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 5: So it was really gross, Like he was really going

1279
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 5: into it with me, and I was like, I'm glad

1280
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 5: you left Brendon because you're better than that.

1281
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: Because you're better than that, but you're still an equinox.

1282
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I see, but like now I go half

1283
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 5: as much. It's even less worth it because I'm I'm

1284
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 5: twice a week, like a workout four times a week,

1285
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 5: and twice is with Brennan. So it's like, what am

1286
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 5: I doing?

1287
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 2: Yeah? But your goals are your goals?

1288
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 4: Are you meet your goals? I felt your back. Really

1289
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 4: when you go to the gym, what are you doing?

1290
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 4: Like give us a quick like I.

1291
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 5: Do two days of lower body, two days of upper body.

1292
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 5: It's really all set with Brennan. It's changed because now

1293
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 5: we're doing this split, but basically one day. It's all

1294
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,959
Speaker 5: built around one man. In lift okay, where you really

1295
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 5: destroy yourself doing a squat, a dead lift, a bench

1296
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 5: or an incline bench, and then you go.

1297
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 3: Home because you have an incredible body and you have

1298
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 3: no problem, and we just truly appreciate that. I mean,

1299
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 3: you're really out here helping you. The men realize what

1300
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 3: a good body is. And I think that's the thing

1301
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 3: in LA, like everyone works towards looking good.

1302
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 5: Here's the thing I disagree, you disagree. I think that

1303
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 5: the men in New York are so much hot. I

1304
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 5: think it is a myth that people are hotter in LA.

1305
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 5: I don't think that they're hard.

1306
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: I just think that you guys are more healthy.

1307
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 5: Maybe that's true, but I think like people are.

1308
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 1: So much harder. But you could be ugly and drink

1309
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: a green juice.

1310
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 5: That is no.

1311
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 2: I think it's a different type of good looking in LA.

1312
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 3: It's just it's just like more refreshing, Like they're they're

1313
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 3: more vain in LA.

1314
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: Like you'll have like a they're more groom Yeah, Like

1315
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: in New York.

1316
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 3: You'll have somebody who literally looks like they didn't brush

1317
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 3: their teeth or wash their ass, and they'll just go

1318
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: through the whole day and it's like, yeah, you physically

1319
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 3: look decent, but you're dirty like you that's not it's

1320
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 3: a dirty city.

1321
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 5: It's a dirty city. I think too.

1322
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: Like, oh fuck, I just say that the men are.

1323
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 5: Well. I definitely test better in l A weirdly than

1324
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 5: I test. It's I think the game men are hotter

1325
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 5: in New York, but I can get a hotter man

1326
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 5: in l A.

1327
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: I feel like you're in the right place.

1328
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1329
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think it's partially because I think there are

1330
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 5: a lot of Asians on the West Coast, and a

1331
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 5: lot of people grow up grow up around Asian people.

1332
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 5: So it's not like a like a weird fish. Yeah,

1333
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 5: it's not a weird thing. So I appreciate that. Here's

1334
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 5: what I wanted to say about my Instagram presence because

1335
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 5: for me, that is for me. It makes me feel good. Yes,

1336
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 5: I love the validation. I have struggled. I struggled with

1337
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 5: my body image for a long time. Here's the thing

1338
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 5: I and I won't name names. I'll name names off Mike,

1339
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 5: but there are strang comedians that are in our not

1340
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 5: are in our circle, but are successful and I see

1341
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 5: you know at the festivals, and who give people like

1342
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 5: me and mateo ship and say comedians should not be

1343
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 5: about their bodies on Instagram. It shouldn't be.

1344
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: Because they don't have any good bodies of their shows.

1345
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 5: What I say to them is like, I'm sorry, but

00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,560

Speaker 5: for if not pictures of myself?

1356
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: And when you say straight communities, you're talking about men.

1357
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously because women don't have an issue with this.

00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: Comedy rush Rush, I just still be out.

1408
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,920

1409
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 4: you're booked busy, but.

1410
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: You're doing it.

1411
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 3: You have all like all the proof is in the putting, honey, honey.

1412
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 5: And it's so weird when people are like people are

1413
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 5: only laughing, and it's like people do not laugh at

1414
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 5: you because you're hot. You know, hot comedians who are

1415
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 5: not funny. Yes, I have seen.

1416
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 4: Them bomb, We have seen them bomb constant and then

1417
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 4: somebody will go buy them a drink and it's like, okay, great, whatever.

1418
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 4: But just because you're attractive, like because I know that, Sydney,

1419
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 4: when you started doing comedy.

1420
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: People would be like, but you're too pretty to do

1421
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: to do comedy.

1422
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 3: And it's actually really frustrating when I get on stage

1423
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 3: because either a lot of people are not listening because

1424
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: they're like, wow, you're like stunning.

1425
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 5: Why they're not on their side? They're like, they're not

1426
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 5: on your side, they say, prove it.

1427
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they give me a hard time because they're just

1428
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 3: trying to figure out why the fuck are you doing this?

1429
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 3: Are you really that funny? And it's like I have

1430
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: to break so many walls down. But if I was like,

1431
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 3: you know, it's so hard to be hot, yeah, nobody, Yeah,

1432
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, I will say, Sydney, I still remember

1433
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 3: the very first time I ever saw you at an

1434
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: open mic and I thought, this is the most.

1435
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 5: Striking woman I have.

1470
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 5: like work, you're nine to five, go and do one

1471
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 5: to two to three open mics and just like grind

Speaker 5: New York, that was my life. Yeah, and I'm glad

1474
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 5: I did it because it made me a better comedian obviously,

1475
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 5: but like at a certain point it's like, I'm so

1476
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 5: glad I have the bandwidth to have a life outside.

1477
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, because a lot of comics and maybe a lot

1478
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 4: that a lot, maybe a lot is not the right amount,

1479
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 4: but there are a good number of comics. All they

1480
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 4: do is eat, sleep, breathe comedy. They don't even have jobs.

1481
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 4: They like sleep in a basement with a sheet is

1482
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 4: a door because.

1483
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 5: They and they think that makes them better, and they

1484
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 5: think that makes.

1485
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 4: And it's like you're just sure, and it's still not

1486
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,760
