1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: They're not there now, but I promise I'm not making

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: it up. Okay. Enjoy Gabe by Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi.

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: How's it going so good? How are you? It's good

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: to see you. It's really good to see you. Yeah,

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: it's actually really good to see you. George. Look at

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: me in the eyes. It's amazing to see you, and

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling grounded by your presence and stam. You know,

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: I know we've had our differences in the past, but

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: actually today I feel like I am actually happy to

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: see you. I am so happy to see you. Despite

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: our political differences. Yeah, I think, UM, despite most things

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: about you, and despite our past, today this, in this moment,

28
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm feeling okay about seeing you. I'm feeling so okay.

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Can I say something? Yeah? Can I say something? This

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: is really controversial, please, but I think it needs to

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: be said, and I think if we avoid saying it,

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: then we're not being truthful and good podcasters. I think

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: that if things went awry with our UM podcast and

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: even our lives, if we you and I hooked up,

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: they would save everything. I think people would be so

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: obsessed with it. I think, no, no, I think listen

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: to this. If we hooked up, people would go absolutely

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: bonkers crazy. People would be so excited. It would be

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: like a positive It would be like, you know, Trump

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: losing again or something. I don't think I realized the

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: point you were making. So you are saying by people

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: you mean simply the listeners of this podcast, I think.

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: But the way internationally, I mean there would be an

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: international sensation. I think people would be because first the

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: podcast listeners would like lose their minds and people would

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: be so curious as to why, you know, everyone was

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: out on the streets screaming that they would also then

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: sort of mob mentality get swept up in it. So

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: you're saying, if things go ari, meaning if we stop

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: being like, if this podcast kind of starts flopping. You know,

51
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the reviews are one star, one star, one star used

52
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to be another bad, shut up, dumbass fag. You know,

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you know you're saying, the solution to that would be

54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: us doing a kind of pr stunt by hooking up.

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact that we could do that and

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: save our reputations and careers at any point in time

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: it is actually really comforting me. So I not only

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: completely agree, but have literally thought about this and I've

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: actually imagined what it would be like if the episode

60
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: where we introduced that as a concept, we're like, we're

61
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: starting a normal episode, and then one of us is like, well,

62
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: I guess we should like tell everyone what happened, and

63
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: then the other is like, yeah, so people are going

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: to be like kind of shocked by this, but we

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: hooked up last night. That would be such a smash

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: hit episode and it would be like it would also

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: be like kind of like there would be like an

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: element of danger because I think people would also be like, oh,

69
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: is the podcast going to end now that they are

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: like hooking on, and they'd almost like be rooting for us. Well,

71
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: I think that it's a crowded you know, it's a

72
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: crowdit field the gay podcasting space. I think there are

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: at least five of them last time I checked, and

74
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: I think that it is really difficult to stand out.

75
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: But I think, yeah, true commitment to the art of

76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 1: podcasting would be hooking up with your co host. Yeah,

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: And for us to say that if you're not hooking

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: up with your co host, like, you're not really committing.

79
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: I swear so many of these gay podcasters today they

80
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: don't really care about the art form. They're not um,

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: you know really now I'm like, I don't want to

82
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and actually, can I take that one step further? I think,

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: no matter what your job is, if you're not hooking

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: up with your coworkers, you're not really taking it seriously.

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what's something that's actually true, I've never

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: hooked up with a cowork in my life. Well that's

87
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: kind of why. Um, you know, that's why more things

88
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: haven't happened for either of us is because we refused

89
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: to hook up with our coworkers. Damn, that's what's keeping

90
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: us from owning a home. That's what's keeping us from

91
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: the big bucks. Yeah. Well, I mean in terms of

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: owning a home, it's like, have you ever hooked up

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: with a realtor showing you at a property? No? I'm

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: willing to guess no, because if you had, maybe you

95
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: would be a homeowner by now. It's tough. Like when

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I am presented with a realtor, I just get so

97
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: shy and I get so nervous and I almost like

98
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: get self defeating, like, oh, I probably shouldn't hook up

99
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: with them. And it's like, who taught me that? Who

100
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: taught me to not want to hook up with my realtor?

101
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: I'll say, the patriarchy, church? No, well, the church, of course,

102
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: it's all part of the same thing. Uh. But I

103
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: think you know, people think, oh, sleeping your way to

104
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the top, that's bad. But that's not what I'm talking

105
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: about here. I'm talking about hooking up with a cowork her.

106
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: That is not sleeping way to the top. It is

107
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: actually like solidifying a professional connection, and it's creating a narrative.

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: I think that's what that's what's missing. It's it's not

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: even about like climbing. It's about creating a story that

110
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: people can get attached to and that people can lose

111
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: themselves in and that has power. And you know when

112
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: they say we're not a business for a family, Well,

113
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: in a family, there's a mom and dad and they

114
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: fuck and then they have a chance. So that's how

115
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: they started, sweetie. That's literally how family works. And so

116
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: if you're not doing that, I don't really understand how

117
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: you expect to kind of make it on the Fortune

118
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: five hundred, how you know, make it on the Forbes

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: one hundred, make it on really any list in a

120
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: financial magazine. And if you're not on a list in

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: a financial magazine, then why do you work? Why then honestly,

122
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: stop wasting my time, because I came here only to

123
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: speak with and hook up with people who have the

124
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: potential to be on a list on a financial magazine.

125
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I'm getting heat, but I don't apologize.

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm really tired of people that don't hook up with

127
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: their coworkers. This society is sick, and it's puritanical, it's panicalea,

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: and people need to be sucking and fucking their coworkers.

129
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: It is disgusting the lack of sucking and fucking happening

130
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: at board rooms acrosslean In. What about bend over? And

131
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm saying that about men. Yeah, so

132
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: get your head out of the gutter. Yeah, so get

133
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: your I'm not I'm not like contributing to some kind

134
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: of toxic dynamic and thinking the men bend over. Yeah,

135
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not being toxic. I'm not telling men to bend

136
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: over and open their holes. Yeah, bend over? Now. So anyway,

137
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: so anyway, how are you? I mean, I'm fine, Like

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm at that point now. You know, during

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: our last recording, I had, of course, just had my

140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: morning yogurt. Now it's been long enough that I'm hungry again,

141
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: and that is kind of part of my narrative. M

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: m m m. How are you well? I'm actually really

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: really good. Um. Yeah, I have no new updates since

144
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: we recorded ten minutes before this episode. Can I say

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: something kind of risky? Sure? I mean, we already talked

146
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: about the hooking up thing, and then we do have

147
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: to we do we need to bring in our guests

148
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: because I want to have as much time with him

149
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: as possible. But and actually, maybe I'll introduce this and

150
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: then we can bring in our guests. This is the

151
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: reason this is risky is because this is so in

152
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: the news right now that it's going to be outdated

153
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: by the time this is released. But the thing about

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: the Try guys has been in the news. I made

155
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: the mistake of like looking into their uva mm hmmm.

156
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I have not been so upset by something, and I

157
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: would say like decades. Actually, really I think spiraling it

158
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: not even I mean, yes, spiraling for sure, but not

159
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: in the way you would think. I actually was so

160
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: deeply a ended on a visceral level by by these

161
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: people's six and I and I know when I'm acting

162
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: from a place of jealousy or from a place of

163
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, like I can recognize that in myself. That's

164
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: not what this is. What this is is realizing that

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: these four guys, three of whom are straight. The entire

166
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: joke is that they're acting gay. That's the whole joke. Literally,

167
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: that's it. It's like they're trying, we're trying on women's underwear,

168
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: we're trying doing drag, We're trying like uh, you know,

169
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: wearing lipstick. It is. And then and then it's just them.

170
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: It's just like three guys, three straight guys, making like

171
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: the kind of improv face you know when you go

172
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: to an improv show and then someone like makes a

173
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: face and then they're like is that enough? You're like, well,

174
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: actually it's not enough. You're gonna have to do a

175
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: little bit more than that. So it's them doing improv

176
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: face while putting on women's underwear as a joke. And then,

177
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel very bad for the gay guy

178
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: because imagine, um, you know, having your first job out

179
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: of you know whatever, and then your entire career is

180
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: just like hanging out with the three most basic straight

181
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: guys from your first job. You know. Fame really can

182
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: be a prison. Yeah, and listen, I am not to

183
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: be caarce role, but in this case, they do deserve

184
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: to be imprisoned. Anyway. I just wanted to address that

185
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: because I really have not been affected by something that

186
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: much in a while. I really was in a dark place. No,

187
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: I think it's incredible to use your platform to take

188
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: down U the Try guys. I don't want to. I'm

189
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: not commenting on the gay one, the three other ones

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: or three of the worst people who have ever lived,

191
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: and that's my final words. Well I will just you know,

192
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: the gay ones not innocent either. Let's say that, listen.

193
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Being gay doesn't absolve you of your sins. Yes, it

194
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: does not absolve you your sins. But you have to

195
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: do what you can to survive. And if that means

196
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: being complicit in literally a decade's worth of improv homophobia,

197
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: then who am I to judge? Wow? Okay, um, I

198
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah, I'm and I'm sorry to you know,

199
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: take it there. But no, I just was very upset

200
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: and I had to say something. I think it's really

201
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: powerful and I think it's so good to bring that

202
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: raw emotion into this. And also it kind of sounds

203
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: like I'm crying. I just have allergies. Just wanted to

204
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: just want to make it very clear, It's okay. If

205
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: the Try guys are making you cry, I'm just really upset.

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: All right, I think it's time to bring our guests.

207
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: I think we actually have to. I want you to

208
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: do the honors. UM. So oftentimes we're mean, um, sort

209
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: of disrespectful to our guests, and I can't even pretend

210
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: to be UM today this guest we are so excited

211
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: to have UM. We love to death. Please welcome Gabe Liedman. Hi, Hi,

212
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: thank you for having me and not being mean in

213
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: the intro. You know you have no idea how rare

214
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: that is. Yeah, And in fact, not being mean to

215
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: you is actually disrespectful, and it's sort of treating you

216
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: with kid gloves in a way that's not exactly I

217
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: feel left out. Yeah, but don't be mean because I

218
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: will cry. I'll cry all the way tears. Yeah, George,

219
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: do you want to try to make him cry? Or Okay,

220
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: I feel like you've got something. George is really a

221
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: hateful bit. Yeah, okay, your dogs in the room and

222
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: she's being loud, unprofessional much. Oh, it's so true. She's

223
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: calmed down a bit. She's sitting, she's laying on the floor,

224
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: not quite spluting, but kind of curled up dog style. Um,

225
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: what's spluting? Oh? What's flouting? Not news in New York

226
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: City because okay, so during the last couple of heat wave,

227
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: squirrels were so overheated that they were sort of they

228
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: were laying like belly down legs back legs splayed kind

229
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: of forty five degree just full contact um as a

230
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: way of cooling down, almost I guess, like a lizard.

231
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: And it was this was in the news but like

232
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: almost about New York squirrels. So I'm like shocked that

233
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm the one who knows it is actually humiliating, to

234
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: be honest, but it was. It was called splooting. Maybe

235
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: they were just posing, but like the news was like,

236
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: leave them alone. They're so hot they need to sploot um.

237
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: And that is a way that my dog does, lay

238
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: down almost like a upward facing dog, but back legs

239
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,359
Speaker 1: cracking open. Yeah, that's and that's what splooting is, folks.

240
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: Maybe she's posing, first of all. Second of all, maybe

241
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: she is just deepening her yoga practice, opening her hips.

242
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: So much emotion in the hips. That's what they always say,

243
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: do you believe that? I don't, but sometimes they let

244
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: myself fall for it, you know what I mean, Where

245
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yeah, there is and can I say

246
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: something actually knowing it's not like going into yoga knowing

247
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: it's not true, but letting yourself believe it is actually

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: an even more impactful, an important practice. Yeah, more important

249
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: than yoga itself. Yes, because then it becomes intellectual and

250
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: suddenly you're actually a scholar. Yeah. And it's it's sort

251
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: of like an acting class, which is the most important,

252
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: and that's the most important anyone. No, I love when

253
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: they're like, this pose is good for digestion. I'm like, how,

254
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm gonna run with it. It's amazing. Absolutely,

255
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: I leave yoga and I'm like, I feel, I feel healed.

256
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I did everything I could possibly do. That's better than doctor. Yes,

257
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: permanently perfect. And then no, um, Gabe, I have a

258
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: process question. Um, so we as you know, um sort

259
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,479
Speaker 1: of how you come on. And then we had discussions

260
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: around tech and then we did a ten minute intro

261
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: in which you had to sit and stare at us. Yeah.

262
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Do you find that alienating? Or um? Do you find

263
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: that that calibrates you into the tone? It calibrates me

264
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: into the tone. I put myself on mute so as

265
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: to not like to let myself feel like the audience.

266
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: But it was nice to have the visual. Oh there's

267
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: the bark um and uh, No, I was not alienating,

268
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: it was it was fun to just sit back and laugh.

269
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: I was laughing a lot, But I also wanted you

270
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: guys to like, weirdly know I was laughing, And I

271
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: don't know if that's something you could pick up on. Well,

272
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: first of all, we really appreciate that you were laughing,

273
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: now that we know you did it, like almost as

274
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: a performance. No no, no, no, no, no, no, overstating it,

275
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: overstating it so we know that you were faking. I

276
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: guess i'd like it less, you know, I find I

277
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: definitely do that when I'm like hosting a show and

278
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: like especially like back when they were a little more

279
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: ill attended. Um, I would absolutely be in the back

280
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: sort of the following at very normal sets. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,

281
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: it's like the comedy laugh. Oh yeah, it's so hard

282
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: not to do where you're back and you're like, well

283
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: even when something is like not hitting with the audience,

284
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: but you want to signify, like, but I get the joke.

285
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: It's like a knowing a knowing laugh, Like you don't

286
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: get it, but I do. Yeah. And here's the thing

287
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: about it, though, like we can drag ourselves through the mud,

288
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: but it does work. Like when people hear the laugh

289
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: in the back. They're like, Oh, I guess, I guess

290
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I can, I guess I should actually in my tap

291
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: a little yeah, let it. Let let a laugh trickle out.

292
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Oh God, what a weird metaphor. I'm allowed to sort

293
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: of enjoy how dating is weird. I've never heard anyone

294
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: expound upon that before. Sometimes I find that I'm laughing

295
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: not at dating being weird, but at like the fact

296
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: that I'm listening to someone talk about dating being weird.

297
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: Can I tell you I actually am having a crisis

298
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: of self because I have, um a thought that George

299
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: I've talked to you about that is sort of a

300
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: dating um is weird? Thought? And I'm like, how do

301
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: you deliver this with this like sincerity because like I

302
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: almost want to couch it in a million, Like, I

303
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: know it's really hacked talk about dating as weird, but um,

304
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: but my theory, um is that in every relationship, someone

305
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: is on camera talent and someone's off camera talent. You

306
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: did launch this theory at our last live show, Well,

307
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: I should say, you know a friend you know. We

308
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: had Larry Owen's on and we did this segment called

309
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: binary Bonanza where we asked him to decide which binaries

310
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: are valid and which ones are not valid. And we

311
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: landed on that the three valid binaries are on camera,

312
00:17:53,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: off camera Manhattan, Brooklyn and true and false. Yeah, and

313
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I kind of am like at first it was like

314
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of a joke, and then I'm like, no, those

315
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: are like the only three valid binaries. Actually, like, yeah,

316
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: I am in total agreement. I mean, those are airtight binaries,

317
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: and they are everyone everything falls into those categories in

318
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: the world. Gabe, can I ask in your relationship who's

319
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: on camera who's off camera? I'm on camera. He's off

320
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: camera for sure, big time. And that's how Sam is too.

321
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, That's all I am too. You know, I'm

322
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: in a kind of mixed relationship where both of us

323
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: are in some ways by sexual but not the ways

324
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: you're thinking. Yeah, but not the ways you're thinking, Um,

325
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: we think women are disgusting first and foremost. Yeah, it

326
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: really is like we go back and forth. Sam, would

327
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: you say that's true? I do think that's true. I mean,

328
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: I you know, behind your back, of course, I have

329
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: been trying to figure out who is on camera who

330
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: was off camera Nightly Mish and I don't have discussions

331
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: about it. Yes, Well, you know, it's it's all of course,

332
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: the lead up to us hooking up can too. On

333
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: camera people hook up and now it's a science experience.

334
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think like your compass of what is on

335
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: camera and off camera is different, Like you look up

336
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 1: to like a like a domestic adult life, and in

337
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: that sense, I think of Matthew as the on camera

338
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: talent um. But because he doesn't want a domestic life. No, no,

339
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: because he has it, and you know, because he you're

340
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: like um trying to like chase his a little bit

341
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: and but he but you share because then you have

342
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: the life saying yes, yeah, he is this interesting game

343
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: to kind of hear about someone you've never met, fascinating.

344
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm mostly thinking about myself and my my own partnership.

345
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I want to know more about Matthew. But I also

346
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: feel like, well, so Matthew is a writer, just like

347
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: your husband is a writer. Yeah, yeah, but not a performer.

348
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah are you guys um partner to the same guy.

349
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: And that complicates on camera off camera? Yes, that contributes

350
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot to it. I mean it spells it right out.

351
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: It's very literal in that sense. But it's like you're

352
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: you know your husband, I would assume does like readings

353
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: for instance, that is on camera adjacent. He does, Yeah,

354
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: it is on camera adjacent. They make him really nervous.

355
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: He also um at literally literary events, will kind of

356
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: find himself like the m C of them because he's

357
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: one of the more on camera adjacent of the literary

358
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: world that he exists in. But he doesn't love it

359
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: the way I love it, if that makes sense. For me,

360
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: it charges me up solar power style, and for him

361
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: it's like he needs to like rest afterwards, and it's

362
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: like if we don't have the same experience of it,

363
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: I feel like in his bones he would rather not

364
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: have the attention, whereas I would sooner die. It really

365
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: is difficult than not have enough to go a few

366
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: days without attention is art breaking heart. If I don't

367
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: get external like approval, I start to question if I've

368
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: ever been worthy of approval at all I need And

369
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: you can't go down that road. No, I need um

370
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: near constant thumbs up. It is kind of crazy because

371
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: we surround ourselves now now, I really do not want

372
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: me to be like Mark Marin here, but oh no,

373
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: it's like because we surround ourselves with people that are

374
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: also have the same psychosis. Then you meet someone who

375
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: doesn't and you're like, oh, I didn't know that was

376
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, yeah, that must be nice for you know.

377
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's it's like when you meet them,

378
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: it's like, how relaxing that must be. I know it's not.

379
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: It's not us. No, do you think it's a trauma

380
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: response or we come by it naturally? Think about this

381
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: even more broad It's almost like even if I was

382
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: not even though I was pursuing, Like, let's yeah, if

383
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to work marketing or something. Yeah, like if

384
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: I want to work in marketing, I still would be like, well,

385
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: I only want to be at an A list company,

386
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: Like even if I was going to be paid less,

387
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: I want to be at And I'll probably think of

388
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: ads that I could like do a line in. Yeah,

389
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: like maybe we could. This is crazy, I mean I could,

390
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I could step in. I can just do it like

391
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: I hear it's fun. I think that actually is what

392
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: happens a lot. Yeah, well, I mean, of course, there's

393
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: nothing more heartbreaking than realizing someone is an on camera

394
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: talent and is that is the darkest, dark pniest out

395
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: in the world we live in When you find an

396
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: on camera person who's not being fed there and what

397
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: they become it can be monstrous. That is, that's like

398
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: the funny friend at the like Midwestern barbecue, Like, oh God,

399
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: my stomach is gurgling just thinking of their reality. I'm like, oh, um, Gabe,

400
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I think it's time for us to jump into our

401
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 1: first segment, which is called straight Shooters. And in this segment,

402
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: we gauge your familiarity with and complicity and straight culture

403
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: by asking you a series of rapid fire nonsensical questions

404
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: where you have to choose one thing or another thing.

405
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: And the one rule is you can't ask any follow

406
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: up questions about how the game works. Do you copy, copy, Sam,

407

00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: put it. I don't love that about myself, but there

417
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: it is. Okay, a town square or a circle jerk,

00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, that was that was crazy. My

425
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: heart was racing. There was a point that was good.

426
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: I really was like, he's not gonna be able to

427
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: make it. Like, there was a point where I was

428
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: like worried for you. I was like, he's he's gonna trip,

429
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: he's stumbling, like can he get back up? And then

430
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: you did and I was crying and I was so moved. Oh,

431
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I mean, I really feel like

432
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Rudy the football player from the movie who saved the

433
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: day and was not powerful, you know, I shocked. Yeah,

434
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: I almost felt like you were so in control even

435
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: when you were like this is a tough one. It

436
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: almost felt like, well, you have rehearsed saying this is

437
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: a tough one. Okay, here's here's what was actually happening

438
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: in that moment. If I can take you inside my brain,

439
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: I okay, you're not allowed to ask follow up questions.

440
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: I just thought, Okay, here's how I'm going to decide

441
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: which is sexier from a straight lens. Wow, and that

442
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: and then so some of them were tough because that

443
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: met Gala one. I honestly don't think either of them

444
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: is sexy from a straight lens. And that's what made

445
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: it a trick question for me. Even even even people

446
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: who show skin at the met Galla or whatever, I

447
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's sexy to straight people. That's that's what

448
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: I was wrestling with right there. It's not for men. Yeah. Yeah,

449
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: I've actually never considered how like an average straight man

450
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: thinks of the met Gala. I think he thinks it's

451
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: like so gross and stupid and like I wonder if

452
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: it even like makes a blip on his like sonar

453
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: of what's happening in the world on even that day

454
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: when everyone we know is talking about it. I think

455
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: he's like, what and then if he were to, like

456
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: unfortunately scroll by some photos of looks, he'd be like, yeah,

457
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he would like feel anything positive about it. Wow,

458
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I even think they would justify

459
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: a little bit and like maybe even like social justice.

460
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: Like he would be like all this like useless wealth,

461
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: I would give me like that. It's exactly That's that's

462
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: what I was about to say. I forgot about that

463
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: kind of straight guy. Yeah, because he's like thinks he's

464
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: cool and smart. Still he's like just like a show

465
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: of wealth that I don't like isn't buy though, if

466
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: he's aware of the Metgala, yeah, it is, like, well,

467
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like feminine shows of wealth are bad

468
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: and masculine shows of wealth are good. Yes, and I

469
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: am here to say that actually both are good. But

470
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: the representation of masculine shows of wealth at the Matgala

471
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: are Jared Letter well and barely so it doesn't really

472
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that that would even like fucking make him.

473
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he would recognize it, Oh totally, I don't.

474
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't even think I think the whole of the

475
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: megala is feminine. Is like it's like fashion it's jewelry whatever,

476
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: Whereas I guess masculine displays of wealth are like sports.

477
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, someone owns a sports team. It's like

478
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: Tesla Tesla trucks. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, yeah yeah, every

479
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: time the big show. Well, it's just like, you know,

480
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: what's a display of wealth? Like literally like watching One

481
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: of the most herring things is watching like Nascard. It's

482
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: like it is they are burning fossil fuels while being

483
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: emblazoned with advertisements on them are and that's okay, but

484
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: Rihanna can't wear a dress. I forgot about political street guys,

485
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: there's so many well you know, they can justify anything

486
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: with kind of a cursory reading of politics. Yeah, it's

487
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: a it's a superpower. Even Yeah, that's why reading is

488
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: a slippery slope. You never know where it might lead.

489
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: I just stay out of the whole thing political. I

490
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: tell vote. Yeah, finally that's fresh Day and Age. They're

491
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: all the same. No, And it's like everyone's telling me

492
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: to vote, and it's like who's telling me? You know

493
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: what I mean? And also where would I even do that?

494
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: And when they're all the same, it's boring. I did

495
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: have a moment I went to I went to vote recently,

496
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: not to brag, and there was a young woman who

497
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: was like very young, like maybe like truly maybe it

498
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: was sex Yeah, she was. She was an infant actually

499
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: um and it was her first time voting, and someone

500
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: was like handing out like um or canvassing, and she

501
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: was like trying to ask about this Canada and she

502
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: was like, so, where do they stand on on prison

503
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: reform or whatever? And the and the woman was like,

504
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, he believes in like criminal justice reform and

505
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And then the young woman goes, well,

506
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: I actually am more of a I'm I'm more believe

507
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: in abolition, so that's not for me. And I just thought,

508
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: like it's so sweet. I mean, I think it's so inspiring.

509
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the idea that you think

510
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: it's so big exactly, like it's so being nineteen to

511
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: think like abolition, which is something I've read about and

512
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: I and I you know, uh and I you know,

513
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: I've kind of educated myself and all this stuff, like, well,

514
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go into the voting booth and there

515
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: will be an option for abolition and that will then

516
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: have a chance of winning. Going to go and cast

517
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: my vote for abolishing. Yeah. Yeah, like I'm at actually

518
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: got a vote for abolition. Yeah, so where do I

519
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: whe Where do I check for abolition little dreamer? Yeah?

520
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I think George actually voted in the same election. I

521
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: want to say, And um, where the one the one

522
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: where abolition was on the table? No? Mine. It was

523
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: like that thing where it's and I know it's important

524
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: to vote, and it was like vote in this primary,

525
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: and I like went and I was like, look at me, go,

526
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to vote and there was literally only one candidate,

527
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't there was no one like, oh, I

528
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't this one I could have skipped. Maybe

529
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: this one I could have gone away with missing. What's

530
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: your polling place? Like so beautiful? Especially, oh my god,

531
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: it is stunning. No. I actually ran into someone I

532
00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: knew from Open Mic Comedy where they running you? Uh yeah,

533
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: it was they want to abolish they want to abolish dating? Yeah,

534
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: swipe left on Taggert. Yeah, so I'm on the apps. Um.

535
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: But we acknowledged each other. But it was weird because

536
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: it was like we didn't really know each other that well.

537
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: How much do we need to talk? Um? Kind of

538
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: a slag. Should we get into our topic? I would

539
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: love that. How do we even start? Um, I'm at

540
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: a loss. Well, I think full transparency Gave and I

541
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: and George all discussed before this episode Service Corps. Was

542
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: I not part of that discussion? Did I not pull

543
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: my weight? Was pregnant? So Gabe and I had this

544
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: really amazing conversation. Actually I remember really specifically. Oh, I

545
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: think George was there. Um, he wasn't contributing very much. Um,

546
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: but it was about um, sort of what the topic

547
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: would be today, and almost as if having a vision,

548
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Gabe throughout a word at us. Um, Gabe, do you

549
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: want to say what that is? That word? Folks? Woes

550
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: as in shoes, And I bet your homophobic brains are

551
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: thinking shoes aren't those gay guy things? Straight guys walk

552
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: around bare foot? Yeah? Like cave men, right, Yeah, their

553
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: feet are just constantly bleeding. Yeah, and straight women have

554
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: no shoe culture whatsoever. So yes, exactly, I do. I mean,

555
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: I do think Gabe. Immediately there's gonna be some haters, um,

556
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: sort of banging down on their tables at work and

557
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: being like this is not this is not straight culture.

558
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Bring it on. I love to have feuds with strangers.

559
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: That's what I live for. And we kind of corded

560
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: on our on our podcast, we say please get this

561
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: to the haters and have them tag us on social media. Yes,

562
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: I love at replies. And then actually the problem is

563
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: we have something on the podcast before and then we

564
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: do get a one star review and it absolutely ruins

565
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: our weak But that's ridiculous. I know you have to

566
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: to leave a bad review of anything is insane. Can

567
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: you cannot imagine? Um? But but gave what about footwear

568
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: to you? Reads as straight? Well, um, I was thinking

569
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: sneaker culture. I'm wearing a pair of hookahs right now.

570
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if those are big in New York

571
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: or if they're over Honey, you have a whole different culture.

572
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: You got spluting, you got I've got hocas, hocas. Okay,

573
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: oh wait these are cool? Yeah okay, So these are

574
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: like intense kind of orthopedic um workout shoes that are

575
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: absolutely spreading like wildfire in l A. Which is dangerous

576
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: thing to say fire, Um, but this is a shoe fire.

577
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: And these are like hyper practical, comfortable kind of like

578
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: in some there's a way that a dumb mass could

579
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: describe them as ugly sneakers that are like kind of

580
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: all the rage. It just made me think about sneaker culture,

581
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: how straight that is. Um, but on these these kind

582
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: of like I was thinking about these as like straight

583
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: guys all across l A and wherever hookahs are popular

584
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: are where this is them wearing platform sneakers like baby spice,

585
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: which is also very in for girls right now, and

586
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: this is like this falls into a very gay and

587
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: very feminine um trend right now, but this is a

588
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: straight guyed version. Um. Yeah, that I was just thinking

589
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: about sucking straight straight sandals, those slides, and just there's

590
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: such a culture. There is a real culture. I feel

591
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: like the way that straight men feel safe getting into

592
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: fashion is if is with things that have some kind

593
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: of practical use. So they like watches, they like shoes

594
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: because they're like, well it's about you know, it's about

595
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: like how you know, it's like I'm getting buy an

596
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: expensive sneaker. It's like they would never dare two purchase

597
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: a shirt. No. And it's like they'll wear purple and

598
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: teel nikes, you know, like with a really plain outfit,

599
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: but they would never wear a purple T shirt or something,

600
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: which is just to say exactly what you just said

601
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: with different words no longer. Um, please don't be so

602
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: critical of yourself. Yeah, it's beautiful. Everyone was thinking it.

603
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: And you know what else I'll say is like, controversially,

604
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: but straight women also counted straight For straight women, shoes

605
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: are the stereotype is that shoes are this like ornamental, uncomfortable.

606
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, well, I'm bleeding, but I like fabulous,

607
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: like that exact stereotype of straight women and the straight men.

608
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: It's the opposite. It's like it's like the cooler issue

609
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: is the more comfortable it is. It's like the cool

610
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: shoe is a sneaker, blah blah blah. So it's almost

611
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: like footwear is this arena where the differences between genders

612
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: are amplified. Women. Yeah, like women become like sexy little

613
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: secretaries and men become like athletes. Yes, yes, absolutely athletes,

614
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: which does feel sort of, um, it does feel military adjacent.

615
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: It's like I can go into battle any time. Literally

616
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: sports is basically the military. Oh absolutely, you know there's

617
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: something too, like in the same way that it's like

618
00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: I've been experimenting with looking like slubbier, like Okay, like

619
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: I enjoy wearing like basketball shorts now. I think it's

620
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: like kind of sexy to wear basketball shorts. And in

621
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: a similar journey, I've been wearing like, um, like white

622
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: socks and like slide sandals in a way that feels

623
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: so fratty and like and it feels like straight drag

624
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: in a way that feels like fetish where at this point, Yeah,

625
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: which just h it's extremely sexy actually and um, everyone

626
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: should try it. Yeah, I'm wearing my shorts right now.

627
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: It's so nice like basketball or probably more lacrosse link

628
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: but they're being honest, showing a little me. Yeah, of course.

629
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean when I say basketball shorts, I mean they

630
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: don't go beyond mid thigh. Um, right, I just don't

631
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: know which sports wear which shorts. I guess basketball shorts

632
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: in the eighties is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

633
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: well they have to be vintage. Yeah of course. Cycle Yeah,

634
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean if you're have to up cycle, yeah, you're

635
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: buying you you basically are a Republican living in Idaho. Yeah,

636
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: you might as well cut down a tree yourself. Yeah,

637
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: literally as well literally burn fossil fuels in your backyard. Um,

638
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: I also think there's something about footwear where like men

639
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: when they don't have like a home that they own,

640
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: have like a certain amount of money and they're like, well,

641
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: what do I buy with my money? What makes me

642
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: feel good? But it is for men, and I feel

643
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: like shoes are the thing that how about straight men

644
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: in like product sneakers that that's the whole thing. I mean,

645
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: that is one of the most toxic things I've ever heard. Yeah,

646
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: it's bad. Or like an Ames belt, yes, or like

647
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: even a Gucci belt or something like there's something Yes,

648
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: the buckle has the logo. Yeah, yeah, that can be difficult.

649
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: That's a tinder swindler, right, Yes, that's a sign to

650
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: absolutely sprint in the opposite opposite directions happening. Yeah, well,

651
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: it's like you better be like Italian, like, oh well

652
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: if anything goes, Yeah, if you're Italian, anything goes quite frankly, yeah,

653
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: a lawless people. It is. It implies a big emotional

654
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: hole that I don't I'm scared to witness. Yeah, I

655
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: think I think. I think it means after shave is coming,

656
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: I think it means, well, there will be a scent

657
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: of some sort and it will be overpowering. There will

658
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: be a scent. Yeah, okay, okay as gay man, if

659
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: I can call you that. Um do what do designers

660
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: shoes mean to you? Have you ever made the jump?

661
00:40:54,239 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Have you ever uh experimented? Okay, here's my here's my youth.

662
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: Back when I was a young person, uh be, when

663
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I was starting out in stand up, I worked in

664
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: a retail job. I worked at Barney's in New York City,

665
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: very fancy and fun and crazy. And the only pair

666
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: of designers shoes that I have and still have are

667
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: two pairs that I bought as a sales boy at Barney's,

668
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: which were there oh backs of I don't know, not

669
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: even back story. Another detail of this story is there

670
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: are special sales just for employees of a lot of

671
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: department stores where stuff is marked down, like when it

672
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: really really doesn't sell, um, and you like pay in cash,

673
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: and it's like it's kind of like a bake sale

674
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: at a school, Like everyone goes into a crazy dizzy

675
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: and brings in cash. Um. And I bought two pairs

676
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: of crazy shoes when I worked there that I still love.

677
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: One I wore all the way to the end, and

678
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: now they're just sort of cute and on a shelf

679
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: and the others I still wear. Wow, that's that story.

680
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: So I similarly gave I know someone who does pr

681
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: at Gucci and they have this specific website for the employees.

682
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: And one time she was like, okay, I have like

683
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: there's like a flat you know, they just added a

684
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. It's all gonna run out. Do you

685
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: want anything? And I got a pair of guccilo first

686
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: for sixty dollars, which I think the full price were

687
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: probably like six drede. They they she gets them, they

688
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: come here, They're too big for me. One of the

689
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: most tragic experiences. Yeah, so now you just sort of

690
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: use them as flower pots or I kind of just

691
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: like I haven't been brave enough to get rid of

692
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: them because I'm like maybe I'll grow yeah, yeah. And

693
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: then sometimes I'll be like, Okay, today I'm gonna take

694
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: them to the consignment store, and then I'll try them

695
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: on one last time and I'll be like, well, they're

696
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: not that bad. What if you were the real big

697
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: fluffy that would be nice, you know, anything you could

698
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: pass anything off his fashion these days. That's true. When

699
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: I look at a designer thing, I'm always sort of

700
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: like I think of it as a bit. I'm always like,

701
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: this isn't for real people to wear. It's hard for

702
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: me to take it seriously, Sam, you were saying this

703
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: when we went to that store, Remember George and I

704
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: um to come out of the closet, went to the

705
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: Hampton's and went to product. Yeah. I just want to say,

706
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Sam's like kind of attitude towards this

707
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: stuff is so funny because you truly, even when you're

708
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: in it, you're like, this is fake? Are We were

709
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: like this is like the Friends experience in Times Square.

710
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: We're in Central Perk. I literally thought it was like

711
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: a joke. I thought we were all going everything as

712
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: a joke, Like you're like, oh, like I kept saying,

713
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: like we're each getting a bag, like because it's like, well,

714
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: obviously we're not gonna go back there was obviously. I'm

715
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: like this. Those people are like actors to me. I'm like,

716
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: sure's you sure we'll all pretend that you're selling clothes,

717
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, when really they're like coked up out

718
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: of their mind and on the brink of starvation and furious,

719
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: literally like I need you to buy something because they're

720
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: so behind them their rent because they fucking snorted it all.

730
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: really disgusting because it's so kind of capitalists for lack

731
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,319

00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: through all of my clothes, so did my husband. And

757
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: then I bought loafers and um, it was fine. Yeah,

00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned you said that they're not designer.

759
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: I actually think and if they're from Italy, they are

760
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: a designer and also yeah, yeah he is, i'mporn he

00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: I love his stuff. You know. George and I were

763
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: recently talking about people who are from porn and sort

764
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: of being like, there aren't people who are hot in

765
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: a way that's just like, well, can I just see

772
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: we have to destigmatize it so that anyone who's hot

773
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: can send us. Yeah. Yeah. It was also a funny like, um, George,

774
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: just like this guy's husband is super hot, and I

775
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'll be the judge of that. And

776
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: then it was like, oh, wow, you're right, Oh my god,

00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,240

781
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: because they're they're just like they're just like made to

00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: be in like like they're kind of Um, there would

783
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: be a moment in the scene they're taunting you because

784
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: they're like, look at us, we're nipples. Yeah, okay, I

785
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: can picture it. Um. I also want to say it's

786
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: really funny to do this podcast and be like, Okay,

787
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: so the straight topic of the day is footwear. We're

788
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: talking about footwear, like straight guys relations where for like

789
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: one minute and then we're like this one time I

790
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: bought loafers. This one time I bought loafers, who mine

791
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: designer shoes, who mindsigner shoes, and then cap it off

792
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: with like, and when guys are hot, yeah, we should

793
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: be able to see them conscripted to a life of nakedness. Yeah,

794
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: it should be. But by law actually yeah, yeah, we

795
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: need we need stricter laws. You know, Gabe, I feel like,

796
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: you know, you're in a A and I actually feel

797
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: like what you're talking about is even more pronounced than

798
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: l A because in California everyone is so casual that

799
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: there are so few ways to show one's wealth or

800
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: one's quote unquote good taste. That I absolutely true, you know,

801
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: And I feel like the whole Like if with sneaker culture,

802
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: it's very like if you know, you know, like if

803
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: you don't, you see someone wearing a pair of white sneakers,

804
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: are like, whatever, that's a pair of white sneakers. But

805
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: it's like this signaling like look at these, look at these. Yes,

806
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: it's like shoes or car or really the only thing

807
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: that you can show off in l A. Yeah, it's

808
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: it was a weird. So whenever I'm talking to people

809
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: who live in New York, I feel like a diabolical urge.

810
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: This is my need for attention to tell you that

811
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: I used to live in New York. I don't know why,

812
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: I like, I need that that validation to note for

813
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: you to know that I used to live there anywhere. Yeah, yeah,

814
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: it's fair because yeah, um and so when I moved here,

815
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: I was kind of shocked by how people dress when

816
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: they just leave their house. Now I'm super used to it.

817
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: And now I also it's been ten years, I can

818
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: see a fashion a quote unquote fashion within it of

819
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: basically you're what would be considered pjs. You wouldn't even

820
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: grab a bagel in it in New York. Um and

821
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: uh recently met up with a friend who was just

822
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: visiting from New York and what he was wearing compared

823
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: to what I was wearing and everyone else around us

824
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: was a real shock where it was like he was

825
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: wearing layers, he was wearing shoes that were in seekers,

826
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: he was wearing pants that were not sweats, he was

827
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: wearing a T shirt and a jacket, and like I

828
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: was super put together and was like, right, that's what

829
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: New York City is like. Um, and here everyone is

830
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: like a real glub and um, it's just kind of fine,

831
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: which is relaxing as hell. I have to say it

832
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: is relaxing as hell. California fashion is so funny it

833
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: actually it makes me stressed out because it's almost like,

834
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: at least when you're in not even just New York,

835
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: but like let's say in the Northeast, you know there

836
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: are some rules where you're like, okay, I know that

837
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to wear closed toe shoes to a wedding.

838
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: Like literally, when I used to live in San Francisco,

839
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I saw people wearing like flip flops to weddings that

840
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: were at like expensive venues. We're like, what are we

841
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: doing here? Like you would go like to a wine like, um,

842
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, to NAPA or something at a winery and

843
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: it's it would be someone in board shorts and like

844
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: a tank top, like a stained tank top, and they'd

845
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: be like, well, our cab this year's absolute piss. Yeah.

846
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 1: The way that a Henley is basically like a tie

847
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: and a shirt where it's yeah, it's like, okay, if

848
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: I was going to if I was straight and I

849
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: was going to NAPA, I might bring a Henley instead

850
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: of like the toilet paper. I just wiped my asks

851
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: to wear a shirt, which is what I would wear

852
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: to taste the menu in the of course. Yeah, oh

853
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: and you look fabulous doing it. Absolutely. Do You know

854
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: what else is kind of fun about something that is

855
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: kind of like, uh funny about l A fashion is

856
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: that it's almost like there's no set rules, so basically

857
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: everyone just has to have to really commit to their

858
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: own style. So you will see some people walking and

859
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: it's like a straight couple. Let's say a guy and

860
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: a girl and the guy will be like a full

861
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: goth and the girl will be a full like Heidi Montag,

862
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: like like blonde girl from the Hills, and you're like, well,

863
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: those two don't go together in real life. But No,

864
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: it's just that they each were like, well, I found

865
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: my style finally, now I can go out. Yeah, and

866
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: we met we met through mutual friends, and everyone just

867
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: has a different extreme look. Yeah, for sure. It's just crazy.

868
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: I don't think I fully understood the casual level of

869
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: California clothing. And I'm realizing now that when I was

870
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: when I've been there, I've probably been dressing a little

871
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: business man. People. Probably I was trying to sell something. Yeah,

872
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: everyone was like, is that the CEO of Warner Brothers?

873
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: Why is he so corporate in my like little colored shirt. God,

874
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: I probably look like such a loser. Sam, you were,

875
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: I bet you look great. No wonder I didn't get

876
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: the big deal. Honestly, the chicest thing you can be

877
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: in l A is visiting from New York, and it

878
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: goes away immediately when you when you move here and

879
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: you're like, no, I just moved here from New York

880
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,560

00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: visiting from you You're you're a slab like us. You're

882
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: a soulless, fucking drought slab. Like. Maybe the worst I've

883
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: ever felt in my life is when I went to

884
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: a Halloween party in Los Angeles and was the only

885

00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,279

897
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: and then other people just kind of ignored. They were like,

937
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: any final thoughts on footwear as straight Carter, No, this

938
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: is a genius podcast. Um, I love you know. We

939
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: started this episode critiquing our fellow gay podcasters, and I

940
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: want to end with a critique too. I say, you know,

941
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: so many of these these gay podcasters, they're so tied

942
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: to what they're a show is about, and it's actually

943
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: sad and and it should be about breaking the boundaries

944
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: of what the podcast can be and sort of being

945
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: on topic. Um should every episode, first episode. It is

946
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: just crazy to break down so many boundaries and then

947
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: put one up when you're in a podcast. There's nothing

948
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: worse than than being a slave to routine. You know,

949
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: I kind of I wake up every day, no to

950
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: do list, no alarm, you know, I kind of do

951
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: whatever is in front of me first. You know. Yeah,

952
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: I maybe scrambling, I may be late, I may be unproductive,

953
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: but I'm free. Yeah. And at least I'm at least

954
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm living authentically. At least I'm living out loud. I

955
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: can't say the same for a lot of you. Yeah,

956
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: at least I'm literally Patti Smith and I wrote Just Kids. Yeah.

957
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: And I'm doing poetry, so shut up. Yeah exactly. And

958
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing spoken word poetry literally every second of every day,

959
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: and I'm famous for it, exactly. And I'm on the

960
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: covers of magazine. But you never heard of them because

961
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: they're for real artists and they're really big and they

962
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: come tways a year yeah yeah. And they're called like

963
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: Monument Yeah. And they have really expensive shoots for some reason.

964
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where they get the money, but they

965
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: do have expensive shoots. Yeah. You might think it's dark money,

966
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: but shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Don't

967
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: ask where the money comes from. Don't ask. So um

968
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: so Yeah, that's pretty much my call out to our

969
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: coworkers in the gay podcasting space. Step it up, hook

970
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: up with each other, yes truly, and forget the themes. Yeah,

971
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: step it up, hook up with each other and forget

972
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: about the themes. Well, um, so I guess we should

973
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: do our final Segmentum So, I mean this has been

974
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: such a blast. I want to. I want to keep going.

975
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: This has been truly amazing. Um and Gabe, not to

976
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: completely blow up your spot, but you actually mentioned that

977
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: you came prepared for this segment, which is unprecedented. No

978
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: one has ever come prepared for this. George and I included, Wait,

979
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: can I say something, Sam, Remember when we were like,

980
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: we were debating. We were like, should we kind of

981
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: gush about Gabe on air or would that be too much?

982
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: And I feel like we ended up not doing it. Yeah.

983
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: I felt I wasn't sure how to handle it. Oh

984
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: my god, so we would do So maybe we won't

985
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: do it, but I want to. I want to as well.

986
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: I started my permission to do it. I'm gonna be

987
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna squirt. It's just difficult because you know, we know,

988
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: we really like not only are we mean to our

989
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: guests to alienate them and in fact of ruined friendships. Um.

990
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: But also even when they come prepared to promote something,

991
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: we intentionally don't mention it to punish them forgetting. So

992
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: it's difficult for us to kind of get into that

993
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: art a space. I would say, yeah, but it really

994
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: But but you really are one of the few. I'm

995
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: not sorry I should not say one of the few.

996
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: We are very excited about all of our guests. Wow,

997
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: be a bit. I love that there was there was

998
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: something we were just both like genuinely earnestly very excited

999
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to have you on. Yeah, and if we're gushing, okay,

1000
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: but when I first went to New York, I came

1001
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,920

1003
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. And it was very

1004
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: inspirational to see that. And you were so funny, and

1005
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I was that's really sweet. I would like listen to

1012
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,280

1013
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: And um, thank you again, this is just a dream. Yeah,

1014
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: and toritod George's point. I do want to say, Um,

1015
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: you're one of the few guests we like. If you've

1016
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: been on this podcast before, UM, just know that if

1017
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: we were nice to you, it was fake. And UM,

1018
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: if we were mean to you, we meant it. Um. Yeah,

1019
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: not with Gabe though. Gabe is the only one we

1020
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: actually like. Yeah. It's really refreshing to finally have to pretend, well,

1021
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: we did it, we were earnest, we did it, and

1022
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: we tried. I mean, that was really sweet. I feel

1023
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: like there's more to say, but I'm bad we can

1024
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: get it anymore. Other wise literally I will throw up.

1025
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Let's throw up. Yeah, let's do final segment. George, were

1026
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: you introduced? Can I say one thing? Seeing of throwing up?

1027
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 1: Last night, I was in an uber I. As I mentioned,

1028
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I have been having debilitating allergies. Last time I was

1029
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: in uber I kind of just like blew my nose

1030
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: in the uber um and then I look up, and

1031
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: I sort of got I was sending the back seat.

1032
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: I look up and I see the driver. We were

1033
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: stopped at a red light. I see the driver having

1034
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: he had turned his face around completely and was staring

1035
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: me down in like a scary way where I was like,

1036
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: what is going on, like like to see like a

1037
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of a large man just be like looking at

1038
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: you and where oh you could hit me. And I

1039
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh, hello, you you scared me, Like what's

1040
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: going on? And he was like, oh, I thought you

1041
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: threw up? And then he just turned around and kept driving,

1042
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: and I was like shaking. I just have you know,

1043
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like when in horror movies someone

1044
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: looks in the mirror and someone's behind them, Like I

1045
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: just looked up expecting to see like the car seat,

1046
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 1: and he was looking at me like two feet away

1047
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: from my face. Nightmare. Anyway, it was difficult, difficult thing

1048
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: to go through. And I'm going to say it, there's

1049
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: no way that you blown your nose sounded like throwing up,

1050
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: and I just want to say it was a light.

1051
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: It was a light sniffle. I was not like, you know,

1052
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of like hawking flint and it just sounds completely sorry.

1053
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I believe the driver. I think you

1054
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: would know what throw up it's like. And I think

1055
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: like George is trying to be right the narrative to

Speaker 1: want to give a quick shout out to the reusable

1115
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: flower uh sleeves at Trader Joe's for when you're buying flowers.

1116
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: They sell these reusable, conically shaped sleeves there that make

1117
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: buying flowers so much easier because you know, the bottoms

1118
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: of those things are always slimy and wet and gross,

1119
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: and you don't want them anywhere near your groceries, and

1120
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to sort of stand up flowers in your cart.

1121
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: So this makes it all way easy. Or they cost

1122
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: about three dollars. You can use them forever, folks. So

1123
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: for all the other amateur florists out there in straight world,

1124
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's has these reusable sleeves. Thank you so much.
