Speaker 3: We haven't done dedication episodes in a while. To bookstore

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,800

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: that idea. We gave it up. We love small books,

11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: we love bookstores. We you know, we just live in

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: a time where people aren't valuing books enough.

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: You know what is a real treat is right here

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: on Glendale Avenue in Atwater Village in Los Angeles. There's

15
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: a used bookstore YEP that I went into. I've only

16
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: been sadly, only been in it once. And I was

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: in it with Joe Rosa comedian, funny man, friend, good friend,

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: and we're having dinner and we were like, let's go

19
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: in the bookstore. Because he's also like a very media person.

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: He does collects a lot of media, yes he does.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: We walk into this bookstore and I was like, oh,

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: have you ever read hold.

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: On side story about Jode Rose. I did his podcast

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: years ago and I was wearing very nice socks that

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: day that I had been gifted. And he was like, Scott,

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: you're known as a stylish guy. And I'm like, that

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: is not true. You just looked at my socks and

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: you're starting conversation. Ah, I look like a stepfather who

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: is also a camp counselor at a summer camp in

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty three. That is my aesthetic.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: And I.

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: So I we were shopping there right, yes, And and

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: there was a Raymond Carver book sure there and I

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: think it was I'm trying to remember which one it was. Oh, man,

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: I just have to look this up.

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: That's okay, great.

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: Of course, that's what we talk about when we talk

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: about love. Yes, and I love that book. But I

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: didn't prep him for it. So I said, so, I'm like,

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: you buy this. You should buy this book. If you've

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: never read Raymond Carver, buy this book. It's a series

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: of short stories for those of you who don't know.

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: They're really great. You should get him.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: It's amazing about.

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Alcoholics, about It's it's kind of they're sad ish modern

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: checkof really good like so well written, and so it

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: like just pushes you.

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: And and so I gave it.

49
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 2: I gave it to him and he was, I think

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: a little bit of a president.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: It's a dark one to go.

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah that I didn't really think. I was just like,

53
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed this book. I think it's a great book.

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: And then he calls me up like just a couple

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: of days later, which full respect, like he went home and.

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: He read, yeah, the book, smart man, and he's just like,

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: what the fuck is wrong with you? Man?

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: And it was like what I was.

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: Like, you don't like the Ray mccarvey's like, it's very good.

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: It's very good.

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: Also, I want to blow my brains out.

62
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of that. All those great

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: short story writers, the John Cheevers, the Dorothy Parker's, all

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: the Flannery O'Connors, all the American great short story writers

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: are just dark.

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: Real.

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: You got to be in a real happy place. That

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920

Speaker 4: No, it is not.

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: So give it up for small bookshops, independent bookstores, the

72
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: people that work there ban animals. If you own a

Speaker 3: bookshop or if you work in one. Let us know

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000

Speaker 2: And I'm gonna shout out that that book story I

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: was talking about, that's Atlas Books East Year.

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: Nothing better than a bookshop.

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah. So this is a bonusode. We give

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: advice on bonusodes.

82
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: Silly bad advice, silly banana's advice. So you know, if

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: you don't like this advice, that means you're not having fun.

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: You heard it from Scotty. Yeah, you heard it from Scott.

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: And I'm very positive. And I gotta say, if you

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: think this is bad advice, look in the mirror. You

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: might not be having enough fun in your sad life.

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: And if you take this advice, I'm worried for you.

89
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: Good luck. I'm good luck. Good luck pal.

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: Here's our first. Here's our first.

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm excited.

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 7: Hey Banana Boys Day, nine hundred eighty six. Banana here.

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 7: Oh and uh, I'm in the military. And Scott you

94
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 7: mentioned recently how awkward it can be to be thanked

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 7: for your service.

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: Yes. True.

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 7: One thing that I usually do is I in turn

98
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 7: thank people for my.

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 6: Paycheck and.

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 7: Usually gets a moment of confusion, followed by either people

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 7: walking away still confused or getting a good laugh. Anyway,

102
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 7: I also have some advice to ask.

103
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 8: Every day when I come on base, I have to

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 8: show my ID to security forces, and those guys, gals

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 8: and nine binary pals have possibly the most boring and

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 8: yet important and dangerous job in the military. So I'd

107
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 8: love to bring a little absurdity into their lives. But

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 8: every time that I drive up to the gate, I

109
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 8: find myself.

110
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 7: Coming up blank. And so I just am interested in

111
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 7: your thoughts on what would brighten someone's day? Who who's

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 7: protecting the military installation that I work at, or any

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 7: number of other installations on I travel to.

114
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: Thanks, all right, this is a great question. Thank you.

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 4: I got an idea right off the bat.

116
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Good for you.

117
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: Lot's tired by you?

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: Okay, good, all right.

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: So first off, you get your military ID. You make

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: a very very accurate fake O good with a skeleton's

121
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: face on it.

122
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: Call him General Bones Brigade.

123
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then get a skeleton, put it in the

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: back seat, strap him in, and then just put his

125
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: ID on him and yeah, so it comes up. You

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: roll down your window, give your ID, and then you

127
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: hit the other window down. Window comes down. He's got

128
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: his idea on him. They can check it and check

129
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: it out General Bones Brigade.

130
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: General Bones Brigade, and then raise him in the back

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: so he is saluting. So when you roll down the window,

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: it's a skeleton facing and sting one transferring one prisoner. Yeah,

133
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: it's just that easy. I mean, I got to give

134
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: my great friend Jacob Jones Skip Jones, credit for this advice.

135
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: And I did talk about this in twenty twenty, but

136
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: we have a lot of new banannimals, so I'll just

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: say it again again. My buddy Skip did this in

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: real life, and we encourage you to do this. He

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: took his ID and he cut out a little piece

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: of brown paper bag and cut it and glued it

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: with eye holes around his ID, and then showed up

142
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: to a bar with a bag paper bag over his head.

143
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: So his paper bag over his head matched the paper

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: bag over the head of his fake ID, and they

145
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: let him in. So this is the cheapest, easiest solution.

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: Go to a grocery store, get a grocery brown bag,

147
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: cut out eye holes and then make a small one

148
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: over your ID. With the same exact eye holes cut out,

149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: and when you show up, just hand them the ID

150
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: with the brown paper bag over your face and over

151
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: your head and see what happens. It's such, it is.

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: I think about it all the time. It's one of

153
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: the great fake outs of all time. Give me that

154
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: guy's name again, Jacob Jones. Skip, my good buddy, Skip,

155
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: who's a college friend of mine. And he did that,

156
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: I think in like Cape cod before he was twenty one,

157
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: and the bouncer was like, come.

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: On in, Skip, that's amazing. It's amazing, Skip.

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: It's a great idea, and it's so it's it's low cost,

160
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: it's high delivery, and if they see you every day,

161
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: they're probably also thinking, I wish I could make these

162
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: people's lives slightly better. Sure it's military. Yeah, they're serious people,

163
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: yeah exactly, but they're gonna be happy. And then the

164
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: next day bring them a paperbag with eyeholes cut out

165
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 3: and say I brought you on too, and then you're

166
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: done two days and then they'll be like that dude

167
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: is the funniest guy on the base.

168
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: Man. I love that idea. Well, there you go, there

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 4: you go. Let's get another one going here, Scotty.

170
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: Sounds good to me. My buddies mom used to own

171
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: ice cream trucks and solely to go to military bases

172
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: and sell ice cream. And they had three military three

173
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: ice cream trucks and three military bases and that was

174
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: their family business.

175
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: Wow.

176
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: They because there's so many families and stuff, a lot

177
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: of station, a lot of these places, and they would

178
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: just go every day for the same few hours. And

179
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, boy, that is niche and so smart and

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: also really fun. People really look forward to that ice cream.

181
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: Here's another one, Hey, curtain Scottie.

182
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 9: I hope you guys are doing well.

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: We need some quick advice, Okay.

184
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 9: Back in July, my dog was diagnosed with stage five lymphoma.

185
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 9: While he's currently in remission, and the vet said that

186
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 9: he is doing better than she could have ever expected

187
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 9: or hoped for. I was told that I probably only

188
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 9: have about ten to twelve more months with him. So

189
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 9: after the appropriate amount of time grieving, I decided that

190
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 9: if that's all I have left with him, I want

191
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 9: to make sure he is the best time possible. So

192
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 9: I've planned a couple of trips for us to take

193
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 9: in October. I'm taking him to the outer Banks. In January,

194
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 9: we're going to the Smoking Mountains so we can go

195
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 9: on super cool hikes and he can play in the snow.

196
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 9: And in the spring we are going to attempt to

197
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 9: do an east coast road trip that will either end

198
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 9: in Maine or Nova Scotia. My question is, other than

199
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 9: the standard game of fetch, giving him a new toy,

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 9: a new blanket, and giving him pop cups and chicken nuggets,

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 9: what are some things that I can do to make

202
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 9: sure that he and I have the most memorable fun

203
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 9: time possible. Thank you guys so much, and please ignore

204
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 9: his squeak toy in the back.

205
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: We will not ignore that squeak toy. That was my

206
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: favorite part. That was incredible.

207
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: First off, I want to give it up to this,

209
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: to this caller one for having an impeccably well formulated

210
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: statement and.

211
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: Question, really good and clear voice, good clear, good radio voice.

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: Radio voice, getting it in right at fifty nine seconds

213
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: because it cuts.

214
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: Off at six incredible.

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: And also again your end condolences. I'm so sorry that

216
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 4: you're in this situation, but I think you're handling it like.

217
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: Beautifully, like amazing.

218
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh.

219
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: And also what a great way, what a great tight

220
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: what a great set of trips. Yes, like to travel

221
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: for a dog's happiness is so it doesn't ride so

222
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: because all I do is travel for children's.

223
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: Happy That's right, That's right.

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: It's never guaranteed that dog is gonna fucking lose his mind.

225
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna be amazing.

226
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: The number one thing that dog wants to do is

227
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: spend as much time with you as possible, right that,

228
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: I mean the dog. That dog just wants to be

229
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: as close to you at all times. So the more

230
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: fun you were having, the more fun the dog will have.

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: I would say, And I don't know. It sounds like

232
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 3: maybe this dog has a particular diet that it has

233
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: to stick to. But if it doesn't, I think you

234
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: go t bone Tuesdays. I think every Tuesday you cook

235
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: that dog a t bone. You put it on a

236
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: plate with a nice setting, put a put a tablecloth

237
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: on the ground. Ye put splits some flatwear out there.

238
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 3: We know the dog doesn't need it. I mean, maybe

239
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: in a miracle this move it does pick up the knife.

240
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: But my tip would be give a tea bone tuesdays.

241
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: We're out of the blue. You surprised this wonderful dog

242
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: with a perfectly cooked tea bone steak. I mean ten

243
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: or twelve of them for the next year. That sounds

244
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: like a nice thing for dogs. Oh, I love that idea.

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: Here's my suggestion, uh, supermarket sweep but for the dog.

246
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's good.

247
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: You rent out a local pet shop and then that

248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: dog gets to go hog wild inside for like twenty

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: five minutes. I like that, And anything he grabs and

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: rips off the shelf, it's.

251
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: You buy it. Yeah, yeah, but I like that.

252
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: It just really goes for he gets to choose whatever

253
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 4: he or she I don't.

254
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: I don't.

255
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure we'll get to choose whatever toy he wants.

256
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: Yes, that sounds fun. Maybe that even is something with

257
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: friends and family. You could do a little go fund

258
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: me because yeah, even yeah, twenty minute a dog, it's

259
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: twenty to do whatever it wants, whatever toy it grabs

260
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: and selects, you buy that toy. Yeah. When we were

261
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: kid that was such a thing because like now everything's online,

262
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: but toys r us used to do like, hey, you

263
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: won the sweepstakes, you can grab anything you want. I

264
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: can't remember what it was two minutes, thirty seconds, but

265
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: kids would just run screaming down the aisles with shopping

266
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: carts and they would always go to Nintendo or sayeg

267
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: or whatever it was at the time. But that is

268
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: like a really core memory for me. Is like if

269
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: you're the Toys r US Kid of the Year or

270
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: KB Toys, whatever, you can just haul ask for I

271
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: can't remember what the longest one. It was probably ninety seconds.

272
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah and grab whatever you want. So yeah, dog, pet

273
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: shop or pet Co or whatever. Supermarket sweep. That is

274
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: so fun. And if you need some people to chip in,

275
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: send us the link, we'll put it in the stories

276
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: because that sounds like a great day for that dog.

277
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: And last idea is just a backpack.

278
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 4: Just have them in a backpack wherever you go.

279
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: That's fun.

280
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't think the front you know you have you

281
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: can always baby beorn a dog. I don't think I've

282
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: never seen a happy babyborn dog. But I think if

283
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: it's a backpack where like they got their paws on

284
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: your shoulders and their legs, like there's a little bit

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: of support for them, and then you can go wherever

286
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: you want.

287
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: Maybe and on TEB one Tuesdays, maybe you do a

288
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: thing where you when you have reached the northernmost point.

289
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: So Nova Scotia. Probably give this take it to the beach,

290
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: and give him a twenty one hot dog salute, where

291
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: you just put twenty one hot dog stacked in a

292
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: pyramid on a plate. Let the dog decide how many

293
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: twenty one of the twenty one and eats. If it

294
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: goes all twenty one, great, I could go for a

295
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: twenty one dog salute right now.

296
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: All right here it is. Here's another one, Hivanana boys.

297
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 10: Here is my dilemma. So me and my husband are

298
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 10: trying for a baby. So we've been thinking about names

299
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 10: of this child. My husband has a name in mind

300
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 10: if it's a boy, and that would be Derek, named

301
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 10: after his favorite baseball player and you know, one of

302
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 10: his favorite athletes.

303
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: Okay, so Derek Darlene worked familiar.

304
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 10: Is I think I hear that name and I picture

305
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 10: a eighteen to twenty three year old young adult, and

306
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 10: I can't.

307
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: Imagine a baby named Derek, a small baby, right.

308
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 10: And looking at it and seeing, you know, instead of

309
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 10: a cute little baby.

310
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 6: I think I will be seen.

311
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,479
Speaker 2: Now it does cut off, and it cuts off permanently,

312
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: it does, and we get what she's going for.

313
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: Get where you're going, because yes it is. I've always

314
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: thought the same thing, like people that look down their

315
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: baby when this is a Mildred. I've always wondered about

316
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: this as Harold. If I've ever seen a Harold, it's

317
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: right here in my arms. Well, I'm guessing it's New

318
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: York Yankees legend Derek Jeter, Derek Darling, Derek Darling, Ron

319
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: Darling's lesser known brother. Interesting, I do relate. So what

320
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: do you think the question is a better name or

321
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: how to tell her husband? No way, let's do both. Okay, Well,

322
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: I wish we knew this banana's last name, because that

323
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: really dictates so much.

324
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: That is the reason that my child is not named Charlie. Yeah,

325
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown older.

326
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want Charlie Brown in your life. Hmmm. Well,

327
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: first let's go to how to tell your husband. Yeah,

328
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: every when you're driving your car with your husband, next time,

329
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: every time you pass any boy, go oh, look it's Derek,

330
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: and just let him see what that name looks like

331
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: on other people's faces. Oh, look at that guy crossing

332
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: the street. Hi, Derek. And then he'll go, you know what,

333
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: I see what you're saying, because he probably in his

334
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 3: head has the image of a little Derek Jeter with

335
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: a little adorable Yankees cap. And I think you just

336
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: got to place that name on other faces and get

337
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: out of it. That's what I would do, almost like

338
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: smoking a cart and of cigarettes in a closet. Just

339
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: quit smoking. Bombarred him with Derek's around town.

340
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

341
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: Another way to do it, to eliminate the problem completely

342
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: is if he has a sibling or living parents, buy

343
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: them a dog and name it Derek.

344
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: Ooh great, oooh great, off the table.

345
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 3: Off the table.

346
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: You're not naming your kid the name of your niece's dog,

347
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: like you know sister's dog, even though my sister did

348
00:17:53,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: name her dog after oh boy, the name of one

349
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: of her one of my niece nieces. So they are

350
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: named the same thing. There is a dog, and there

351
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: is a person in the same family and the same family.

352
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely insane, and the dog was named after the child.

353
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: So also, but give your husband some props for not

354
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: saying Jeter, because he could have tried to name this

355
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: kid Jeter and that is just chaos. Derek Jeter's middle

356
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: name is Sanderson. What if you can get your son's

357
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: name is middle name and Sanderson.

358
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, then all of a sudden, that's that's taken

359
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 4: care of it.

360
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: Then it's and you know, Sandy's a cool name. By

361
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: the way, you know you're a beach bum. Yeah. If

362
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: I had to pick a random name for a child

363
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: I'll never meet. Hmmm, well, I'm looking at something right now.

364
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: How about Olie? Give him a classic Olie?

365
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 4: OLLI, there it is, I got an olive. You can

366
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: have an Ollie.

367
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: You look at that thing, you go, oh, this is

368
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: baby Allie up for his ninth feeding. While I'm listening

369
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 3: to that world famous and Heavy Quotations Bananas podcast.

370
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: And you know what, I will say this to you

371
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: as well. Whatever the baby is named, you quickly associate

372
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: it with a baby because it's your baby and it's

373
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: named that name.

374
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: Drive around town with the windows down and yo, hi

375
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: Derek and wave at every man you see.

376
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: Also, like, I have a very fond memory, you know,

377
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: my buddy Derek Brown. Love him to Beth, Love him

378
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: to Beth, love him to Beth, love him to Beth.

379
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 2: And so I have a very positive association with Derek,

380
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: and Derek to me, doesn't have the same association she has.

381
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: Like that, It's like eighteen to twenty four year old male.

382
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: I can see a young but I can see a

383
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: young Derek. That's also you can just spell it differently

384
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: as well.

385
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 4: That's another one. What if it's d postuphree Rick.

386
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: Well, now we're cooking. Now it's d Ricky. You well

387
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: know d space Rick. So there's air in between it.

388
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: So then it's Derek with a space, so d an

389
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: empty space and then Rick and you go, it's Derek

390
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: and there's air in between the two. There we go,

391
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: solve your problem.

392
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 4: There it is, Hello, little Derek, de apostrophe Rick or space.

393
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 11: Here's another one, Hey, banana boys, I actually have a

394
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 11: real piece of advice. I'd like to ask a view

395
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 11: of people in the entertainment industry. Oh boy, call it

396
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 11: them in life crisis. I like to think of it

397
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 11: as a personal awakening. But I have decided that I

398
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 11: want to do drag and so for the last few months,

399
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 11: tell you been practicing putting together costumes, concepts ideas for

400
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 11: things that I would then perform on stage. I feel

401
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 11: fine on a stage. My concern is that I feel

402
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 11: like a total idiot when I'm practicing things or writing

403
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 11: things to share with others and even worse if anyone's

404
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 11: around while I'm trying to practice.

405
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: I feel totally awkward.

406
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 11: So my question for you is if you could share

407
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 11: a little bit about your rehearsal process. I guess in

408
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 11: the context of of Kurt or Scottie, Like, as you're writing,

409
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 11: how much do you share things with other people for

410
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 11: feedback and critique before you're ready to share it with

411
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 11: the world.

412
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: That is a great question. That is a great question

413
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: because it is a mystery and everybody has a slightly

414
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 3: different approach everyone.

415
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the main answer, is that everybody is different. Yeah,

416
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: you go first because I do pitch, which is sort

417
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: of my performance. But you are a true performer and

418
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: actor in comics, So how do you rehearse.

419
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: For stand up?

420
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: I'll usually write it out fully, hmm. This is kind

421
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: of more how I write stand up. But I'll write

422
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: it out fully, and then I'll take really kind of

423
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: generous bullet points on the left hand side of the

424
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: page in my book, so I'll type it out first,

425
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: so it's all all my life, like specific jokes and

426
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 2: ways of saying things are in there. And then anything

427
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: that's like different from the way I would just naturally

428
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: say it because there often times is I'll do really big,

429
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: in depth bullet points on the left hand side, and

430
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: then on the right hand side, I will have a

431
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: much smaller but like one word per like you know,

432
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: bullet point, and then so that's for the first time

433
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: I ever perform it. So then I'll just look it

434
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: over and kind of do it in my head. And

435
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: then the first time I perform it, when I'm looking,

436
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm actually just looking at you know, you know, maybe

437
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: five or six words and like reference back to the

438
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: other stuff. And for stand up, I will you know,

439
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: sometimes say it in my head, just walk around quietly

440
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: and do it. For pitching, Lauren and I fully script

441
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: our pitches because we pitched together. We're writing team, and

442
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: we write it out as a dialogue, so we have

443
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: the whole pitch kind of like like you know, Kurt

444
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: Kurt Lauren, Kurt Lauren, Kurt Lauren, and then we just

445
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: run it over and over and over again until we

446
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: find a rhythm to it.

447
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 4: We add That's a great way to add jokes because.

448
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: You're running it so often that you just think of like, oh,

449
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: this is a good spot for this, and we just

450
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: kind of like run it and then and then what's

451
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: really good is like running it for somebody over zoom,

452
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: you know, like, hey, I like if there's somebody you

453
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: trust who's in that world to be like, can I

454
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 2: run this for you over zoom? Then it's like kind

455
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: of low. It's a low commitment for them and for you.

456
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: It's not as much pressure as like being actually in

457
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: the room. Yeah, so yeah, those are my tips.

458
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: That's good. And one side thing also, congratulations, Absolutely spend

459
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: if this is your midlife or your awakening, spend the

460
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: rest of your life doing drag. If it feels good

461
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: when you get on stage, Absolutely do this as much

462
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: as you humanly can. That is such a fun hobby

463
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: to pick up, like a great passion. So my well,

464
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: Also another side thing is I just read this article

465
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: and I find this really interesting. For all performers, all writers,

466
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: don't tell everyone what you're doing until you've actually done it.

467
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: There's this thing where people go, I'm writing a script

468
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: and they tell everybody, or I'm writing a book and

469
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 3: they tell everybody in their lives. They tell their family,

470
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: their friends, their partners, I'm writing a book and people go, oh,

471
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: that's awesome, and they get a little pop of endorphins

472
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: and serotonin, and they're less likely to write the book

473
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: or do the performance. So keep it close to the best.

474
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: You can tell your best friends. You can tell the

475
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 3: one person that you think creatively or a friend that

476
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 3: does drag already, it's okay to tell one person, but

477
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 3: I would say keep this secret until you've done it,

478
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: and then tell people. See how it feels, put that

479
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 3: foot in, and if the first one doesn't go great,

480
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: who cares. You're only gonna get better as you go.

481
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: So that's just a little side thing I read that

482
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: really resonated because I have so many friends tell me

483
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: they're going to write their first movie, write their first book,

484
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: and then they never do. And if they just kept

485
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: it themselves and do the work, they probably would have

486
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: finished it. So it actually is a brain chemistry thing

487
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: that happens with that. Now for me, I do it

488
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: a little different because my performance is I pitch movies

489
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: and TV shows to executives, either in person or over zoom.

490
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: And the only thing I will say that I think

491
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: I do a little bit different than most is I

492
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: don't write it down but before I talk it out

493
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: to myself and the day of the pitch, so for you.

494
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 3: The day of your drag performance. I literally stand alone

495
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: in my living room and I run it once out

496
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: loud and fix it on the fly. So if you're

497
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: dancing in front of a mirror, if you're performing in

498
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 3: front of a mirror and you go, oh, that doesn't

499
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: look right, just do the full routine with the music

500
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 3: and just do it to yourself the day of and

501
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: then relax for five minutes, meditate, breathe, think to yourself,

502
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 3: this is what I'm supposed to do, this is what

503
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 3: I was born to do. And right before I go

504
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: to performer pitch, I literally say out loud to myself,

505
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 3: this is what you do, and then I turn on

506
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 3: the zoom and start doing it. I give myself one

507
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: little thing of this is who I am, this is

508
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: my personality. I don't like hit my chest like Matthew

509
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: McConaughey or something, but I do say loud to myself,

510
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: this is what you do. And then I sit down

511
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: and do the damn thing. And so far pretty good.

512
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

513
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: Great.

514
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: And also keep in mind too when you're going out there,

515
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: that it's like the most important part is and I

516
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: hate to do this, but it's actually enjoying yourself.

517
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta enjoy it, uh.

518
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: And that can often if you over prepare, can often

519
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: ruin that agreed, And so make sure that you can

520
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: still find joy in it. And also remember that, like

521
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: even if the very worst, worst possible thing happens, how

522
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: many people are in that room, who cares?

523
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: How many people?

524
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 3: At best?

525
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 4: I think maybe one hundred people are in that room.

526
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, most likely twenty five.

527
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: No one's taping it, no one's putting it on the internet.

528
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 4: It doesn't fucking matter.

529
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a character you're playing, which is wonderful. There's

530
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: some protection there. And also keep in mind there's probably

531
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 3: three people, five people just like yourself, going, God, I

532
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: wish I could do that. So just getting on stage,

533
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 3: you've already won, exactly. And if you ever do it

534
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: in La Kurdie b and I'll come out, especially if

535
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 3: you do Hamburger Mary's drag Bingo, which is the most

536
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 3: fun you can have. In West Hollywood, we've asked a

537
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: lot of drag queens to be on bananas, like four

538
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: or five have been like, no, thanks, we love to

539
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: have you. No, We're okay.

540
00:27:47,800 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: It is very true.

541
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: From all the way around.

542
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 12: The world, when when maybe.

543
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 13: This is Aaron aka BB five. I'm calling because in

544
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 13: the last few weeks I had to interact, like in

545
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 13: common social situations with two people that seemingly have out

546
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 13: of nowhere.

547
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 6: Decided to start using a.

548
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 13: Cologne or body spray situation like I'm talking about cucumber melon,

549
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 13: oh boy, back in body works. We are like late

550
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 13: nineteen nineties, and they are huggers, and I typically am

551
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 13: a hugger, but these aren't like best friends. I mean,

552
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 13: I would say that there's strong acquaintances, right, and so

553
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 13: they hug me and I come home covered in cucumber, melons,

554
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 13: sweet pea whatever, and I swear it's impossible to get out.

555
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 6: It's in my hair, it's in my jackets, it's.

556
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 13: In everything that I own, and I can't get the

557
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 13: scent even out of my nose for days. And genuinely,

558
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 13: I am such an extroverted social person that sometimes I

559
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 13: don't know how to deal with the situation given the

560
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 13: fact that, like they will see.

561
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 6: Me out hugging other people.

562
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 13: Yet I can't just say hey, I'm okay with just

563
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 13: a handshake, you know. I can just see your advice

564
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 13: about like what's the best way to tell somebody that,

565
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 13: or do I tell them or do I suck it

566
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 13: up that they're wearing a very offensive perfume, spotty spray,

567
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 13: probably a spray, probably water.

568
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 6: Based with chemicals. I don't know. I just feel like

569
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 6: I don't want to smell like cucumber melon anymore. Thanks,

570
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 6: love you guys.

571
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: Well, Aaron, great question. Body odor first body odor advice

572
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: so far? Well not boy, I guess on a body

573
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: I wonder here.

574
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: My question is, Aaron, if you would feel different if

575
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: it was if it was a more typically male scent,

576
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: Because if it was for me like a cucumber body

577
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 2: wash smell, I don't know, just because that's not of

578
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: Like if it was a like a heavy dr carnoir thing, it.

579
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 4: Would drive me crazy.

580
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: But like the cucumber body wash, maybe because it's just

581
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: not my preferred gender association, I don't mind it as much.

582
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: My advice is advice that I have received, and it

583
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: is you overcompliment something else about their smell so that

584
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: they think that what makes them smell good is not

585
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: the spray. For example, it's a woman. I think we're

586
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: talking about a woman here. I would either next time

587
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: you have to hug them and you're gonna have to

588
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: suck it up. You're gonna be smelling watermelons up your

589
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: nose for two days. I would say, what kind of

590
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: conditioner do you use that smells so good? If it's

591
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: better than what they smell, like, compliment the conditioner or

592
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: what kind of detergent. That's what somebody said to me

593
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: when I was a young green banana and probably high

594
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 3: school ish. My high school girlfriends, they all liked all

595
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: this stuff back then, Abercrombie, Woods, Polo Sport, all that crap.

596
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: I get to college, I start dating a woman and

597
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: she was like, what laundry detergent do you use? Or like,

598
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: what dryer sheets do use? I was like Tide or

599
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: whatever it was at the time. She goes, that smells

600
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: so good. You should smell like that, and I go yeah,

601
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: and she's basically being like, your cologne sucks ass. But

602
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: I like the smell of clean linens. And it worked

603
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: because then I was like, oh, she likes the way

604
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: I smell when I I just have clean clothes on.

605
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: So my advice is over compliment something in a surprising way.

606
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: And then if she goes, well, I'm wearing like something

607
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: by Spera, go no, it's not that it's something else. Look,

608
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: what shampoo do you use? Just give her a compliment

609
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: of a cent that you can stand even if it's

610
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 3: not there. Yeah, and let her connect the dots.

611
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: I also would say that what obviously that this problem

612
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: is if you are smelling like it. The problem here

613
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: is that this person is applying way too much of

614
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: this shit. And so I'm going the opposite way of Scott,

615
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: and I'm saying when you walk in the room that

616
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: they are in, yes, sir, when they are far away

617
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: from you, so so that they couldn't think because you

618
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: just start going, oh my god, is someone burning a

619
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: cucumber melon candle in this yes?

620
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: Like oh it's so strong it burns my nose.

621
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: I like that.

622
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: And you're far away from them, and then they realize, like, hey,

623
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: if I'm if they can smell me from across a room,

624
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm obviously wearing whatever too much of what I'm wearing.

625
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's.

626
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: Like that's like those guys who like whenever you like,

627
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: I would always be like, you get in a car

628
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: and the car smells so much like their clone. Oh boy,

629
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: that is just like, hey, Bud, no one ever told

630
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: you should be a whisper.

631
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: Well, I like that nice, Like you should.

632
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: Only smell someone if you're.

633
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: Up close with that people.

634
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: Yes, when people wear stuff that's like so noxious.

635
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: I hate that. I hate over oversprayed, over scented person.

636
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: Well, maybe then we go a little further and if

637
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 3: that doesn't work, you just give them a nickname. Do

638
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: you call them bodyworks or do you call them melon patch?

639
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: I would say what's up melon patch? And they go,

640
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 3: what you always smell like watermelon? Yes?

641
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 4: Exactly.

642
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you say melon patch and you always smell like watermelon.

643
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: That's a great idea because then it's like it seems like, oh,

644
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: you're just having a fun name for them, and then

645
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, I maybe smell too much.

646
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't go what's up fruity diapers? You just

647
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: go what's up mellon patch?

648
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 4: Or you just say like, uh, what's up? Kuk cute?

649
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: Oh here it is, it's cute kuki mel kuki kki.

650
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: Something's some sweet pickle?

651
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, so there was real advice in there. There

652
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: was medium real advice in there, and there was Banana's

653
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: device in there. Just say what's up melon patch? In

654
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: a cute sea way and be like, oh, you always

655
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: smell like I don't. What is that cucumber and melon?

656
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: And let them do the math run those stinky numbers

657
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: on their own. That's funny.

658
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: Also again, walk in the room where they are and

659
00:34:53,719 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: then just start going.

660
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: Did a cucum? We're shit the bed in here? A

661
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: falling watermelon killed my dog? How dare you?

662
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: Okay?

663
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 6: Here we go, Hi, banana boys.

664
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 14: I am looking for some advice.

665
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: My name is Amy.

666
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 14: I am in my mid thirties and recently single, so

667
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 14: I'm hoping for some dating advice. Since I was last

668
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 14: in the dating scene, I have realized that I am

669
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 14: by it's also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, so I got

670
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 14: some extra stuff going on. So I want some advice

671
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 14: on how to put myself back out there. And you know,

672
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 14: dating with a chronic illness mostly well managed, but sometimes

673
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 14: I get incredibly tired looking for someone who will be

674
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 14: empathetic about that, and also trying to figure out who

675
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 14: I am who I want to date.

676
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 6: So yeah, any advice you have on.

677
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 14: Joining back in the dating scene and putting myself out there.

691
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 2: she says, I think I forgot to mention. But my

692
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: relationship that just ended was almost eight years, so brand

00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: new world of dating in two now, I would pitch,

Speaker 2: and I hope you receive it the in that manner

696
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm pitching Willy Wonka style intro.

00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, do you remember what I'm talking about?

698
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: No, the first time we see Willy Wonka in the

699
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies version of Willy Wonka. Yes, he comes out

700
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: and he is with a cane and he's walking like

701
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 2: he's a.

702
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 4: Thousand years old. Yes, And then does a tumb and

703
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 4: everyone's like, oh no.

704
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: And then he does a tumble and pops right up

705
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: and everyone's like it's weally fucking yeah.

706
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: I get a huge mister act.

707
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: I like a huge misdirect because so obviously you would

708
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: let them know that you have multiple sclerosis and I

709
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: don't know how far it is advanced or however, I

710
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: would say, push it all the way in like the

711
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: worst direction, so that it seems almost like you can't

712
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 2: even move, and then you know, go back to actually

713
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: this sleep time.

714
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 3: She mentioned that, like you know, tires easily. I would say,

715
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: fall asleep as soon as the person starts talking, give

716
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: a little fake sleep and go, I'm just kidding. We're

717
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: going to have a great night.

718
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

719
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: Just like push it so the person and then you

720
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: get to see how the person reacts.

721
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: And I love I think that's really funny. If you

722
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 3: pretend to be so exhausted, you walk and you sit down,

723
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: you introduce yourself, and then you instantly fake fall asleep

724
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: and then wake up and go, I'm just I'm just kidding.

725
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: I'll have a martini. They're gonna be like, she's fun,

726
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: she gets it, she's self aware.

727
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 4: She's self aware, she gets it.

728
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: And also you get to see what their reaction is initially,

729
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: because if their reaction initially is oh, I go no way,

730
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: then you can end the date.

731
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they're not delighted or laugh or or like

732
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: that over a leaf of like oh my god, thank you,

733
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: that was so funny, Like that person is a person.

734
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: Other vice, first dates don't count. Yeah, first date, everybody

735
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: date go on. If you're newly by and I don't

736
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: know if your last partner was a man or a

737
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: woman or non binary person, just go out with everybody,

738
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: anybody that accepts a date. If it doesn't go well,

739
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 3: you can always leave. But I think dating a little

740
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 3: bit of everything with no weight on those first dates.

741
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 3: First dates are their job interviews so good, their goof

742
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: off sash. Yeah, so I would say take all the

743
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: heat off the first dates. To me, it was always

744
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: second and third dates were always more stressful because that

745
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: was like the agreement that we enjoyed each other's company

746
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: enough to give it another word date you thought third date?

747
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: By third date, that was like okay, are we in

748
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: or we out right?

749
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: Third date?

750
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 2: That's when I would always when I was like chronically

751
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: single for the first short period of time, Yeah, that's

752
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: when I was like third day, I would go to

753
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: the third date, and then if I was unsure, I

754
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: would end it.

755
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever your insecurity is about ms play into it

756
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: a little bit to see what the reaction is. And

757
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: then if they're bogus about it and they're just not cool,

758
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 3: then you know that's not going to be someone your

759
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: going to date. And you know, grab a bev and

760
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: get out the door, buy that churro and say bye bye.

761
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's again adorable voice. My goodness. If it

762
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: was pre internet days when it was just like you'd

763
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: call somebody and talk for three hours, I think you'd

764
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: be fighting them off with tomahawks. Yep.

765
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, thank you guys so much for listening to this bonusode.

766
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: I think this was a number six of advice.

767
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: I don't know five or six bonisodes. But anytime you

768
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 3: want to leave us anytime in the month. We're doing

769
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,480

Speaker 3: write back. Advice shall be given and play on the air.

771
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: And by sending it in, you're letting us play it

772
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: on the air.

773
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 4: Yep, thank you so much.
