Speaker 2: Okay, podcast starts now. Wow, we have started the podcast.

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I already feel different.

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: I feel so different. And you know, this podcast is

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: today about renewal. Yeah, it's about a fresh start, and

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: it's about rebirth. And you know, as many people know,

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: I just had a harrowing and let me stop you

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: right there. Don't laugh.

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: Thank you this seriously, because you made it out barely

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: by the skin of your damn perfect pearly white teeth.

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: The fact that you are alive today is a testament

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: to the human spirit, and specifically to LGBTQ plus creators.

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Creators everywhere everywhere, audio, video and otherwise, and even just text.

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Even oh my especially just text. They're the ones that

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: are under threat in our current image obsessed society. It's

24
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: discussing have you ever met anyone anymore that only.

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: Writes no, you can't.

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I actually don't, even if you're literally you know, Jonathan Franzen,

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: you've had a believer doing.

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Tiktoks you actually are. Yeah, that's too bad.

29
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: I actually think we got to a point where someone

30
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Franzen could get away with being a curmudgeon

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and not doing price. Let me tell you something. Let's

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: check in when his next book is out, because I

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: have a feeling he's gonna be on hot ones.

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: Of course, gonna be on hot ones, and there's gonna

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: be little gifts of tears.

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm gonna hit it right up.

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and we'll have him on this pod. Sure, sure,

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: and he'll be like, what are reals? And we're like,

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: just leave, trust us.

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: You're gonna get this.

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna get moderately viral. Okay, sorry, but I cut

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: you off. The point is I just got to the

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: hospital out of the host.

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: And if you're hearing this, we're banking episodes, so this

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: might be coming out in weeks. So if you didn't

46
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: know I was in the hospital. Yeah, this is November.

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: If it's twenty twenty five, Sam might honestly be back

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: at the hospital by that.

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: It's true.

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: We don't know what's wrong.

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: Now, but this is the time from early November twenty

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: twenty three.

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you Thanksgiving y'all?

00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving y'all, Turkey lurkey time. So I went to the hospital.

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: It was I didn't.

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Enjoy it, right, Yeah, Well there is always a part

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: of you that's like kind of cozy, woesy, like I

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: get to be in.

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Meddle day youth. The way that a hospital is really

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: just sort of like one prison, like like they aren't like, okay,

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: so here's basically what's gonna happen. They're like, you're being admitted,

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: now go to sleep. Yeah, and you're sort of like,

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: but what is going to happen?

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Well, you're suddenly an American horror story asylum.

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: You're literally in the DMV. And that's the weirdest part

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: is you're like you're and you're not a person signing

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: up for like a driver's license. You are the file.

68
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: You are like a file inside of the DMV, and

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: you're just like I hope they don't forget about me. Yeah,

70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: and it's crazy.

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: So as much as you feel comfortable, would you like

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: to share the journey from beginning to end?

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Sure? Well, mostly I went Okay, it's it's like gross,

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: I always talk about to to ever talk about medical issues.

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: I would say, like, don't even get into specifics. Okay,

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: well unless you want to. Well, which I can be

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: empowering as well.

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, let's just say some people who are ghost and

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: showy bleed externally. M you know me, on the other hand,

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: I keep thinks to myself, I like this things internal

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: and I'm going to not take up space and I'm

82
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: going to recognize that, you know, I'm part of a community,

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: and I'm going to bleed inside.

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: I would say bleeding externally is very like having a

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: giant Louis Vitant Elvy bag. Bleeding internally is like quiet

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: luxury head to toe the row, no labels anywhere, all

87
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: neutrals black, maybe, denim maybe, but mostly black, beige, gray.

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: And of course, you know, I think I flew too

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: close to the sun. I think people didn't appreciate me.

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: So I was extremely lightheaded, could not stand up and

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: went to the hospital.

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you flew too close to the sun. You

93
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: put your whole CAUSI into that.

94
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, that's genius.

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually came to me and I was like,

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big moment.

97
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay, the reels are.

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, but I keep cutting you off. So you went

99
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: to the hospboat because you're bleeding internally because you're chic.

100
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Oh my God honestly called back to help my wife.

101
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: She's she oh my, which is an old joke for

102
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: people who Yeah.

103
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: I was. I was too cheic for this world, for

104
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: this world, so I went to the hospital instantly. You know,

105
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I understand that hospital's vibe is sort

106
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: of like trying to find the most obvious thing. But

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: when I tell you, as soon as you tell a

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: hospital worker that you are LGBTQ plus, it is over.

109
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: It is sort of like, okay, so what STD do

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: you have? And I'm like, I'm telling you it's not

111
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: an STD. And they're like, okay, but you don't know that,

112
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: and I was like, yes, I do. I was simply

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: just tested to me.

114
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: They're like, come on, Diva, you can be honest with me.

115
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: Literally, and they were like they could not accept it

116
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: at all, and they like kept being like, okay, so

117
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: you got tested, but how many sexual partners have you

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: had in the last two weeks? And I was like zero, row,

119
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: like I don't know what you are asking me. It

120
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: was wild and even they would be like, okay, so

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: are you like the receptive partner? And I was like

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: sometimes and then you're like and then on the file,

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: the official file, it's just like Bottom, it's fully like

124
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: receptive partner is obsessed with cock and it's like chill

125
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: out like I and they were even. I was like,

126
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: they were like, okay, so that's probably the issue. And

127
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: I was like no, I like, honestly, haven't bottomed in

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: like a month. And they were like and they were like,

129
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: well why not? And I was like, you can't win

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: in those towns. You actually can't win. They're like, they're like, loser.

131
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: They know he's being hospitalized for being a loser gay

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: guy who's hasn't boughtim in a month.

133
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: First all, he's a slut. Second on, he's a prude.

134
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: It's like, you can't have it both ways.

135
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I it was they ever get past you being

136
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: a prude? Bottom?

137
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: It took days. It took full on days it's like

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: because finally they were like, Okay, we're gonna do all

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: these tests on you, but it took a lot before that.

140
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: They were like doing all these STG tests that I'd

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: literally done two weeks before and like had pulled up

142
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: on my phone the results. Yeah.

143
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: You kept being like, dude, to me, what you do

144
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: to the straight patients? And they're like, but you're gay.

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: You're gay, so that wouldn't really make sense. They're like,

146
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: you came in with maybe leave it to the pros.

147
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: It was. It was frustrating. It's also like hospitals, I

148
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: under I sympathize with all healthcare workers. What you would

149
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: do is impossible, or.

150
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Banging pots and pans as we speak. You just can't

151
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: hear it.

152
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: You can't hear it because they're very chic pots and pans.

153
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: That's right, But there's a way in which, because all

154
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: hospitals are understaffed, they are just running out of the

155
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: room instantly, like trying to tell them what's going on

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: and then being like, essentially I likened it to like

157
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: being at a restaurant and then being like, okay, you're

158
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: in order, and I'm like totally, I'll have a water

159
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: and They're like, Okay, great, bye, and it's like that's

160
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: clearly not the end, Like you have to stay here,

161
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: yeah for like five minutes, and this will actually save

162
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: more time in the long run.

163
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. I mean, would you say healthcare in

164
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: this country is not ideal?

165
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: Maybe I'd have to say it's not ideal. I And

166
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: you know, it all ended up being fine, except they

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: still don't really know what happened. They're just sort of like, well,

168
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: you're better.

169
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Right, and yeah, they're like in, bitch, so I hope

170
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you have fun bottoming.

171
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: Let a rip, babe. So I'm just sort of like

172
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: hoping that it's but yeah, so I'm hoping it's all better,

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: and I'm drinking coffee and then crossing my fingers.

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Wow, well that's sort of the best you can do.

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Drink that coffee. Don't forget to have your daily coffee.

176
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I heard that helps with all stomach issues and on

177
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: an empty stomach if possible, so they can really coat

178
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: the inside.

179
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it's so good for you. They didn't

180
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: tell me not to. Yeah, So that's basically the hospital

181
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: stay as far as this podcast goes. When it comes

182
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: to like the bottoming, I think is relevant. And the

183
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: other thing that I think is really relevant to this

184
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: podcast is how do you break the news that you

185
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: are in the hospital, Because I desperately want to post

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: like two friends being like I'm in the hospital, because

187
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: I almost want to be like I want to talk

188
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: about it, yes, but I also don't want to be like, hey,

189
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm in the hospital, like care about me a lot,

190
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: Like it's sort of a it's like a complicated like

191
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: little dance. And I was thinking of that meme of

192
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: like like, at first I wanted to post them in

193
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: the hospital, and then I was thinking of that meme

194
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: that's like nobody knows I'm in the hospital and there's

195
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: two people, two groups of people dancing, like, yes you are.

196
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: You keep posting about it, right, And I was like,

197
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: how do you like tastefully say I'm in the hospital?

198
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Well, I think all I can do is share my

199
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: side of this story because I am implicated, of course,

200
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: of course, and you know, yes you're in the hospital,

201
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: Yes you're bleeding internally. But I was also hurting because

202
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: we actually had a show one of those nights and

203
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: you had to cancel and which I was so in

204
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: support of and so and so, like if anything. I

205
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: was like, well, now I'm the stark is I have

206
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: all the information. I'm going to go in and I'm

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: going to tell everyone what's going on without invading your

208
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: private without like betraying your privacy. So I kept actually

209
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: being vague enough that it almost seemed worse than it was.

210
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: People were like, is he dying? And I was like,

211
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: I can't tell, you know, I'm really not nobody to share.

212
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

213
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: And also it was difficult. The narrative is very difficult

214
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: because we both got sick at the same time, and

215
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: it turns out I had confirmed the flu, and in

216
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: the beginning I was more sick than you were because

217
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I had a one O three fever. And then it

218
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: seemed like we both got better, and then you were like, oh, Bet,

219
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: you've seen the last of Bet.

220
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: You thought you've seen the last.

221
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Of me, and then suddenly you were in the in

222
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: hospital as I say in the UK.

223
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was it was a competition, and

224
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: I you won wipe.

225
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: You actually ate despite the fact that you weren't eating

226
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: for four full days before your calling.

227
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean that was wild to go from Thursday to

228
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: Tuesday without or no, it was Thursday to Monday, without

229
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: eating food. When I had Chinese food on Monday night,

230
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: I was in heaven. I've never experienced anything like that,

231
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: and I never will.

232
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, we actually do need to bring our hat

233
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: to But I'm also like, there's so there's more here.

234
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: I almost think this is the multi episode arc.

235
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like tour all over again.

236
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we haven't even gotten into like the various

237
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: ins and outs of your medical care. Yeah how I

238
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I was desperate to be a healthcare consultant.

239
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: Uh huh I had roommates.

240
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: You had rooms? Oh my god? Were they LGBTQ plus?

241
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: No?

242
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: Wow?

243
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: But they were wild? Oh?

244
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: We also, I mean, I don't know if you even

245
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: want to talk about this, but there is the other

246
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus angle of your hospital's day when you recognize.

247
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: But we can't.

248
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't think we can talk about. Okay, but we can't.

249
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Okay, we can talk.

250
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: I can't put that off.

251
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Well anyway, without further ado, let me just I'm

252
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: putting my hands together as we speak. For the one

253
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: and only Amber Ruffin.

254
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: Yay, all right for me? Hey, how you guys thinks

255
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:55,960

Speaker 1: Oh, it's such assure. It has an absolute pleasure and

257
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: an honor. And how are you?

258
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: Thank you for asking?

259
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: I feel fine, amazing, No, I feel good the past.

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: Yesterday I really did nothing. I just did a little

261
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 4: bit of work and I slept. But the two days

262
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 4: before that, man, I didn't sleep. I was freaking drinking

263
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 4: whoa out all night like a child. I am sold

264
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: when I was out in it and mixing it up.

265
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: And then last night I slept from ten pm to

266
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: eight am.

267
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wow, that is actually the dream.

268
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: I love the area to sleep.

269
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: Wow.

270
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: What was your going out experience?

271
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: Like?

272
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: Where'd you go? What'd you get up to?

273
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: I went to two events.

274
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: The first event I honestly don't remember, but after it

275
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: was after Bertie, and then I went with my sister

276
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: and we had the best time. Freaking I love to

277
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: just go to these little events and then post up

278
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: in a corner and then go, do you know that guy?

279
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the guy from the thing? Wait which thing? Oh?

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of it from this thing? You know, from

281
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: that thing? He wasn't that thing. And that's all I need.

282
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: I freaking love that stuff. And then every once in

283
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: a while, you'll have your third drink and then you'll

284
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: be like I'm talking to him.

285
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

286
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm so weird.

287
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I'm talking to you, but I gotta talk

288
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: to you.

289
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: I love you so much.

290
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I said I love you. I'll get out

291
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: of your hair. It's really bad. I'm really bad at it,

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: and I'll never stop.

293
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: I really think this idea of being subtle in those

294
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: situations is so overrated. It's like some have some zest

295
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: for life and have some It's like you are lucky

296
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: that you are talking to Lucas Hedges.

297
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's also like, you know, the celebrity doesn't have

298
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: the same weight that it once did, and so for

299
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: you to treat it with weight is you're actually doing

300
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: a service. And it's vintage, it's nineties, and it's in

301
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: that way, very beautiful and very now. Yeah, absolutely, do

302
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: you like? Do you how? How do you like? Expect

303
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: them to respond to you?

304
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: Like?

305
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Are you like? Do you like? Do you like? Say like?

306
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: Don't talk to me? I just want to say hi,

307
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: or are you like? Or are you like? And my

308
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: deal is this if you want to.

309
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: Respond, absolutely not, No, absolutely not.

310
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: I talk to them and then I leave no space

311
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: for them to respond ideally, I just say everything I

312

00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: Okay, So Seema is out and about.

343
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: Seema is actually could not be more out and about

344
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: and by the way, maybe the most beautiful woman I've

345
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: ever seen in real life in a way that is

346
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: actually uh unique. You know how everyone now everyone's face

347
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: is hurting like the same. Yeah, she is the only

348
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: person who doesn't look like that. I'm like, you are

00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: so stunning and has such gravitas without trying at all,

351
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Like she doesn't. Of course she looks like a celebrity

352
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: because she's beautiful and is a celebrity. But there is

353
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: just something that is such a throwback to like almost

354
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: a French imagine, like a French woman in the nineteen

355
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,200

371
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,919

372
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: me to move without first moving the chair.

373
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,320

382
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,560

00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: over and.

384
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760

Speaker 4: he goes you talk like you talk like, yeah.

00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: That's nice.

389
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: That's actually how I felt when we had Joe Parah on.

390
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, you're Joe Parah That's right.

391
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: He's not doing a bit.

392
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: He's not doing a bit.

393
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: He is not doing a bit. That is who he is.

394
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: It's so cute.

395
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Wait, I had a good positive I would say celebrity Interactskay,

396
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: that could have gone. So I was in the same

397
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: elevator as Susan Sarandon in an apartment building. Not like

398
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: any sort of excuse a big Hollywood event.

399
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: Wow, not in New York City. Even an elevator can

400
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: be a big Hollywood event.

401
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: Get out of here.

402
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: Oh, to be clear, To be clear, I did not

403
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: get out of that elevator. Elevator without signing a contract

404
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: with her production company. And she has an exclusive deal,

405
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: but with your first look deal with me. She actually

406
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: has a first look deal with me, not the other

407
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: way around. So I was in an elevator with her. Okay,

408
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: so I first I was in an elevator, not with her.

409
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Imagine that I get out. I'm about to exit this

410
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: bill she's coming in. I'm super chill, don't even make

411
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: eye contact, get out of the building. Realize I forgot

412
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: my umbrella upstairs, so I have to come back in.

413
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: So I started knocking on the door, and she's the

414
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: one that has to let me back in, and I

415
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: could see in her eyes she's thinking, oh God, this

416
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: gay guy decided he does want to say hi. Like

417
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: this gay guy like first was being cool but then

418
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: left the building and now wants to come back and

419
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: say that he loved me and the meddler. So she

420
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: comes and she's like, oh God, opens the door, yeah,

421
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: expecting me to start tearing up. Instead, I go, sorry,

422
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: I forgot my umbrella upstairs. And so then we enter

423
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: the elevator together as equals, and then she unclenches, she's calm,

424
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: starts talking about the weather because of the umbrella, and

425
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: suddenly we are quite literally having a normal person, human

426
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: to human interaction about the weather. And then she's and

427
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: then I literally like leave the elevator. I'm like, stay

428
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: dry out there. It's like you too. Wow, that's beautiful

429
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: to be like almost humiliating, Like she thought I was

430
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: going to humiliate myself, and in fact I was just

431
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: a person like her.

432
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: God, that is amazing. Yeah, and we still keep in time.

433
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

434
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know gossip. I heard she and Jessica Lang

435
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: are friends after doing feod together and they like take

436
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: walks around the neighborhood.

437
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: That's not gossip, Yes it is.

438
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: That's the sweetest guy.

439
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: Sweet especially because you know it's like we're always putting

440
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: women against each other. Well guess what they are. Actually

441
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: they're they're actually debunking that.

442
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: You're trying to make positive gossip happen. Yeah. With Susan Ran,

443
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: you're like, you're like, I heard some gossip like Lady

444
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: Gagaa gets eight hours of sleep. Yeah. One time at

445
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: an SNL after party, I tried to talk to Drake

446
00:20:52,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: and because I was like, sure, that is so funny.

447
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: The thing is they they were like he goes by him, Drake,

448
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 5: he him, no, but he the entity surrounding him was

449
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 5: not is they them?

450
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: And they were not having me like they were like

451
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: I was like scooching, like inching closer, and I was like,

452
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say hi. I'm gonna be normal, but like,

453
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: why not say hi? We're at the He's at the

454
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: party and he's being weird. He's like dancing on top

455
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: of tables, like sure, I'll just say hi, Rake. And

456
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: then I got up to him and this like woman

457
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: got in front of me and was just like what

458
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: are you doing And I was like, well, nothing, and

459
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: she was like you need to back up and I

460
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,840

461
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: closer to Drake. That's not weird. I have to say Hi.

462
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: I do think those parties were to bring out some

463
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: weird behavior in people.

464
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: Of course I have.

465
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I actually don't think I've ever said this on the pod,

466
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: but one time at an SNL after party, I was

467
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: sitting at the same table as pod Malakshmi, who is

468
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: ever knows used to be part of the Brooklyn comedy scene,

469
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: but we never and we never sort of overlapped, and

470
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: there was a mac and cheese in front of me

471
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: and she clearly wanted it, and rather than asking can

472
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: you pass that mac and jeese, she started performatively reaching

473
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: with her fork while making direct eye contact with me,

474
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: like a childhood And I say this with nothing but

475
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: love shoes, truly, I mean talk about a true icon,

476
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: a homle. Actually, I would say, in the same level

477
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: of as Sema in terms of French women in the night.

478
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: But I was sort of like, you're being iconic right

479
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: now by not just choosing to say, can you pass

480
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese? Damn, Now that's a relatable queen

481
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I did. I was like, would you like some? I

482
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: would just like here, and then she ate it.

483
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 4: I have an SNL after party story to top all

484
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: of us. A thousand years ago. I was at an

485
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: SNL after party and I was talking to Pob Michael Brian,

486
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 4: who cares MYLO friend, and we were talking and.

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, very very very drunk, Paul McCartney.

488
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: Fucking stumbles in, like like stumbles into Pob so kind

489
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: of hard that we have to address what has happened,

490
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: but like we shouldn't be talking to him because it's

491
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 4: Paul McCartney. So we're just like uh uh, and he's

492
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: looking at us kind of like uhh, like whoopsie.

493
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: So Pob goes.

494
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: You know, the thing about Paul McCartney is everywhere he goes,

495
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: no matter where he's at, in his pocket he always carries.

496
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: And before he could say tiny harmonica, Paul McCartney had

497
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: taken out a tiny harmonicas making hard.

498
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: I contact with me and playing the cutest little tune.

499
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: On his tiny harmonica, and I was just like, what

500
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: what is that happening? As he's playing this tiny harmonica,

501
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: justin Timberlake walks up, doesn't understand why Paul McCartney is

502
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: playing a tiny harmonica to a stranger and is trying

503
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: to understand like who I am and can't because he.

504
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: Doesn't know who I am.

505
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: And that just like patiently waits until he's done with

506
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: his drunken song is beautiful.

507
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: That's incredible. I mean all any small afterparty story does

508
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: sound a little bit like like a child wrote fan fit. Yes,

509
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: like it's sort of like and then like Christina Ricci

510
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: like danced on the table while jay Z was like,

511
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: well a hat.

512
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: The last time I went was Rue Paul was hosting,

513
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: and so a bunch of the queens from that season

514
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: were there, and they were sort of like they were

515
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: in drag and not scheduled to perform. They were just

516
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: there as guests. But they were also just half performing

517
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: at all times, Like a song would come on and

518
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: they'd be like, well, yeah, I'll do like a mini

519
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: number just here on the table, and then people would

520
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: like gather around them and be like it would be

521
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: just like sort of twenty seconds Peppermint performing Like it

522
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: was just there was something that was so like back

523
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: in like it's I never watched that movie Babylon, but

524
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: that's sort of what I imagine the opening sequence of

525
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: Babylon that it was just like all the queens from

526
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: drag Race plus Margot Robbie half performing in a giant

527
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: room while Pod Moloxany is trying to get to the

528
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: Mecan cheese.

529
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: Guys, that is your second podcast.

530
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,919

531
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: haven't seen mm hmm, and then you have to guess

532
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 4: how the movie goes.

533
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are movies like that that I like,

534
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: movie is actually more fun to imagine Babylon.

535
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: Babylon and my imagination. Incredible film.

536
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's the best film I ever saw.

537
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: I've already decided that if I were to watch Babylon,

538
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: I would be one of the people that's like, people

539

00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm like the way that I actually can't see

541
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,200

542
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: it's so misunderstood.

543
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: I already haven't decided yet. What my opinion on Priscilla,

544
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: which I'm not gonna watch, is.

545
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: The way that I have said I'm going to see Priscilla,

546
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,399

00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,720

Speaker 1: You you really leading into the upid fire of it all.

629
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: There was a confidence there where I was like, Okay,

630
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: she is such a professional.

631
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,760

Speaker 2: Oh is that true? Yes?

633
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: And also I'm quite impulsive. I love to pull the trigger.

634
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 4: I am, I can't help it. Let just do it.

635
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: Let's do it now. I'm one thousand percent in instantly

636
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: or I hate it instantly. That's how I love I.

637
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: You know, I've when it comes to impulsiveness, I'm curious, like,

638
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: does that translate to like home decor absolutely not.

639
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean I'm certain it does for regular people. But

640
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: my house is empty. There's nothing in there. I don't

641
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: like stuff I don't like looking at stuff. Yeah, I'm

642
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: too busy. Yeah, you're all those crazy things I agree to. Yeah,

643
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to be like looking at anything. I

644
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: want to see clear countertops. I hate a knickknack. I

645
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: hate a knickknack, I hate them.

646
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Do you like the emptiness as an aesthetic choice? Like

647
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: you think it's good or is it just easier that way?

648
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty okay, you do? I think so

649
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: your ideal apartment is like all clear, Yeah, it's all

650
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: made of glass, and.

651
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: Then I know that it's clean.

652
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you got a bunch of stuff, pile of

653
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: stuff's got dust on it. Yeah, I can't live like that.

654
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 4: There's a bug under there, stuff like that.

655
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I'm struggling because I have a lamp that

656
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: I've hated for about seven years and I like keeping like, yeah,

657
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: once I get rid of that lamp and in a

658
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: new lamp, I'm going to be fixed. But I'm like

659
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: so unimpulsive that I cannot decide on a lamp and

660
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: I need someone to just pick a lamp out for me,

661
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: and it's not And also lamps one all furnature is

662
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: so expensive, and I'm just sort of like, well, then

663
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: how I need it in the space first before I

664
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: know if it's working. Yeah, so then I just sit

665
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: with this lamp that I hate forever and I might

666
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: die with it. Oh well this right are you?

667
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: Are you sure you don't love it a little bit?

668
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure? Oh at this point it makes me angry. Woa, Yeah,

669
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: I got rid of this lamp.

670
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I find I really love the idea of a

671
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: lot of different trage keys and just to go into

672
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: someone's house and be like, why they're so well traveled.

673
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: This is from here, this is from here. But it's like,

674
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: in order to get there, I have to go to India,

675
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: and I don't actually have the finances to do that

676
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: right now, not yet, And so I need the fact

677
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: that to get to the place where I want to be,

678
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: where it's all well curated charge because I actually have

679
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: a full ten years of being rich. He's really setting

680
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: me back quite a bit.

681
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: That's sitting you back a lot. Yeah, that's messed up.

682
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: I know.

683
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: But then for a while you'll be the guy who

684
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 4: won't shut up about his trip to India, because if

685
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: that's the first place you go, those are your trach keys.

686
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 4: They'll be like who does this guy think he is?

687
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: I know, damn, that's a really good point. I think

688
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: the peak is to be have gone to India gotten

689
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: all the trach keys, and then ten years after that

690
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: when you're starting to get rid of them because you're like,

691
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: why was I obsessed with that trip? But you still

692
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: have like one. That's when you're in the sweet spot.

693
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: So you've got about twenty years.

694
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's check back in then in this studio,

695
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: so Amber, yeah, we I think it must be said,

696
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: have to ask you what straight topic you have brought

697
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: with you today, and maybe just a little bit about

698
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: what you think is straight about it.

699
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: The straight topic I have brought with me today is

700
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: dairy queen blizzards. Dairy queen blizzards are the straightest thing

701
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: on earth. And here's why people.

702
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: Love to like.

703
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: Be like, I'm an eminem blizzard or die and then

704
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: they really hold on to that and as a kid,

705
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: it becomes a big part of your identity. Yeah, what

706
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: kind of blizzard person are you? Especially we lived pretty

707
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 4: close to a dairy queen and that was who you were.

708
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: You know, Lacey is a peanut butter eminem or a

709
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: peanut eminem Blizzard. You know, I'm regular eminem My brother

710
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 4: is Oreo Cookies. It's very important, and you bring that

711
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: information with you to school and.

712
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 3: It's like you don't remember we do a little.

713
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 4: You'd be like, I like dolphins and that was part

714
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: of it. You'd be like, this is who I am

715
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 4: through the lens of dairy queen.

716
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: Totally.

717
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a beautiful You're You're not allowing yourself

718
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: any fluid, rigid identity, yeah, an early age.

719
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: At an early age, one might say a signed a

720
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: birth and I feel like it's the same with like

721
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: even like your favorite Halloween candy, that's yir. I'm almost

722
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: like sometimes to me, I feel like the official narrative

723
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: in my head is my favorite is kid Cats as

724
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: the candy as the candy. And then sometimes I'll be like,

725
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: but I do also like Snickers. But then I'll be like, no,

726
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: you're a kit Cat, und shut up.

727
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: I mean back to the Blizzard thing. I mean, I've

728
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: always since I could speak being a chocolate extreme blizzard Chica,

729
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: and now I'm like, like, I'll if I'm ever if

730
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 2: I ever find myself in a dairy queen, I'm not

731
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: even trying anything new because I'm like, well, I know

732
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: what I am.

733
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent. I think everyone does that. I

734
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 4: if I were to ever take a bite out of

735
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 4: another Blizzard, I swear on everything that is holy, I

736
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 4: would spit it right back out. I cannot. If you

737
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 4: say blizzard, it has to be eminem blizzard. And that's

738
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 4: like the least fun of all of them. You can

739
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: get like chocolate chip. It's it's pretty regular. But hey,

740
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 4: that's what I was assigned at birth exactly.

741
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: Well.

742
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: It's also like when you're a child, you have to

743
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: hold onto it because it's your identity, and then when

744
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: you're an adult you hold on to it because it's

745
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: nostalgia and it brings you back to childhood. Yes, so

746
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: at no point you actually feel free enough to change now.

747
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not the blizzard. Also, we have to talk

748
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: about the fact that when you are giving it, they

749
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 2: flip it up side down, because that is there's a

750
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: cruelty there. Speak on that you are essentially you're saying

751
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: you worker are less than me. Yeah, and if you

752
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: don't flip this thing upside down at me, I will

753
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 2: take note and I will call your manager and get

754
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: you fired.

755
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very much giving like cold Stone Creamery where

756
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: they have to sing when you tip them.

757
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 2: It is it is absolutely creating a hierarchy, is there?

758
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 2: It just is cruel and it's violent.

759
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like seeing something about me. I don't

760
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: like seeing workers being exploited. And that's just something, you know,

761
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: maybe my leftist politics. And I would actually say I

762
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: would feel so much better if every time I entered

763
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: an establishment. I would actually I could see all the

764
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: workers signing up for good health care all on a screen,

765
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: and then I would feel And then I would say

766
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: I would like fries.

767
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: When when someone flips the blizzard upside down and hands

768
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: it to me, I say, it's fine, you don't have

769
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: to do that for me. I see you as a

770
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: full person. What is your name?

771
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: I love that they with them.

772
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: I say, these people don't see you. I see you.

773
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: They're like, let's get out of here. Let's get out

774
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: of here, Kelsey, let's just drive, let's go. It's playing

775
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: at at You said it's violet, it's violet.

776
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: But they every time I see them do that, I go,

777
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 3: what are you doing? What? Because I forget that that's

778
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: what they're supposed to do.

779
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I mean, there is a party trick

780
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: element that I do enjoy where it's sort of like

781
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: how does it stay there? Because you're flipping an upside down.

782
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: That's the childhood wonder.

783
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: That's the childhood wonder, and that's nice.

784
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: That's what Dairy Queen is good for.

785
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

786
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: The other thing I'll say about about blizzards and also

787
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: just anything that is candy flavored is God, how exciting

788
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: it is to eat candy in a different format, to

789
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: be like I'm getting for rochet ice cream.

790
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but it does backfire. I mean

791
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: looking at the Blizzard menu is one of the most

792
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: jarring experiences because it'll be like like they'll have like

793
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: cookies and cream, but they'll also have like Oreo TM

794
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: reces like TM and it's sort of like can we

795
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: just say like peanut butter chocolate? Like the branding on branding,

796
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: Like it's like, come to Dairy Queen for the like

797
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 2: Oreos branded meets Sour Patch Kids meets like BP oil.

798
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's that's American culture.

799
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: It hurts to look at.

800
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well of course, and it is rooted in literal violence.

801
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: It's very much that meme of like the like you know,

802
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: only an American would understand this. And it's like the

803
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: intersection with the all the fast food chains in the

804
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 2: Yes station.

805
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: Well, there is in my neighborhood Dippin' Dots and some

806
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: other kind of branded popcorn store, and the two things

807
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: it sells are Dippin' dots and a specific kind of popcorn.

808
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: And I've always been like, now, that's innovation.

809
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 4: Dippin' Dots taste like trash awful, they're horrible.

810
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 2: Speak on that.

811
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: And they still exist.

812
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 4: How in the world do they still exist? Because it's

813
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: not like Dippin' dots. This is the ice cream astronauts eat.

814
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: Because if that was what it was, Hey, let's all

815
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: get some. It's not it's dippin' dots. This will melt

816
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 4: instantly and become the worst consistency anything has ever been. Yeah,

817
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: but they still exist. They're everywhere. They're in every not.

818
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: To mention, people speak very positively about them. I actually think,

819
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: you know, our bosses over a big many players will

820
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: be silencing this portion of the episode because because people

821
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: speak so positively about Dippin' Dots, it feels controversial to

822
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: bring up something negative about them.

823
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 3: Really, I hate.

824
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: A fell off a bottle fell off the table.

825
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: I flipped a bottle cap onto the floor. I'm sorry, everybody.

826
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: The dippin' dots, big dippin' Dots is sabotaging this podcast.

827
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 3: It's not good.

828
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: The flavors are like inky and d freakin' watermelon, mild

829
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: chocolate like it all tastes like nothing. They're nothing flavors

830
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 4: for a bad but a bunch of frozen dots. It's

831
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 4: terrible and frankly, we shouldn't be doing. That's our astronauts.

832
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: Training. Yeah, and personal sacrifice, I mean talk about an

833
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: unhealthy work balance work life balance.

834
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, astronaut times only at work meaning I mean you're

835
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: in space.

836
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: You don't get paid for all that time.

837
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, year long shifts.

838
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy should do when you're an astronaut you get

839
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: sent into space. In order to have good work life balance,

840
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: there should be a work spaceship and a home spaceship

841
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: and at the end you work your nine to five

842
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day you go to

843
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: your home spaceship and you can just watch you know,

844
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: peacock with your wife.

845
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 2: That's right, that would be amazing.

846
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: And I know what you're thinking, Oh, so all astronauts

847
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: are men lesbians.

848
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 2: I do have to say about Dairy Queen as a brand.

849
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 2: I actually think the food at Dairy Queen is LGBTQ plus.

850
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: Well Queen well queen more, not dairy King Mama dy Queen.

851
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

852
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the food plus Yeah, I actually definitely wanted

853
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: you to expand on that a little bit.

854
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like in a small town community,

855
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: if you are ordering the food out of Dairy Queen,

856
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: you are being ostracized. People are whispering behind your back,

857
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 2: saying things that they wouldn't want you to hear. And

858
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 2: I think it takes bravery to order a burger from

859
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: a dairy Queen.

860
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

861
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 4: I did once and got very sick, And that's not

862
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: a bit. I was very hungry. I was closest to

863
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 4: the Dairy Queen I drove through, and then very shortly

864
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 4: after I had to leave work and I had to

865
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 4: go home and shit my butt off.

866
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

867
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm shocked that not everyone is constantly sick for

868
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: eating fast food. Not to be like a mom who's like,

869
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: don't eat fast food, but you're eating cardboard that is

870
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: infected with the coali, Like, why doesn't everyone get sick

871
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: when they go to McDonald's.

872
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 3: They're they're on that line.

873
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: They're one that fine line between gonna kill you and

874
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 4: gonna keep you fat and sick.

875
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

876
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 3: When I lived in Amsterdam, I lived there for five years.

877
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 4: Oh only a garbage really and was thin, healthy, happy, beautiful,

878
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 4: full of energy and stuff.

879
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: But they were the sema of of Amsterdam.

880
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 4: I was so gorgeous you wouldn't freaking believe it. But no, really,

881
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 4: and it didn't feel bad or weird. And they weren't like, like,

882
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: you know how we are here, like, oh, you're gonna

883
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 4: eat McDonald's, you're going to be sick.

884
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: Then they weren't.

885
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 4: They're like, you eat McDonald's in you're fine, and it

886
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 4: tastes the teeniest bit different. And I was like, oh,

887
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 4: that's because our meat is bad, because they don't care

888
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: about us. In Holland, they have you know, well, they

889
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 4: have laws, laws about what you can and can't feed

890
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 4: another human being. Then I went to China. I was like, oh,

891
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: I'll go to McDonald's, buddy. That was not meat. I

892
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 4: got it. I smelled it. It smelled not okay. And

893
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 4: I looked at the meat and it was great and

894
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 4: I put it down and I couldn't eat it. I

895
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 4: was like, wow, so there is it gets worse than here,

896
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 4: It gets even worse than this.

897
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so be grateful to speaking stupid American pigs. You

898
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: want health food, We'll send you to China. We'll send

899
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: your ass to China, McDonald's there, eat the McDonald's there,

900
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: and then come back. Yeah. So vote for Joe Biden, dumbass.

901
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: Wow, huh huh, huh huh.

902
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: I do think we should address the fact that we

903
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: have to address it. First told us that you were

904
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: your topic was a blizzard's off Mike. My reaction was, Okay, great,

905
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: we have to rank natural disasters from gata straight because

906
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: I thought you meant the natural disaster of a blizzard.

907
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: And I also thought the exact same thing.

908
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also think we should definitely do that.

909
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: I also was like, I mean, it's this. You know,

910
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: we're both obviously classically trained in improv acting and chemical engineering.

911
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: But the way I immediately yes ANDed you and then

912
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, do I think blizzards are straight?

913
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: If anything, I think they're sort of divas. Yeah, like blizzard,

914
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, an actual natural disaster that is a blizzard.

915
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: But there's something so like to me, there's something a

916
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: natural disaster. There's a blizzard. There's a masculinity there. Sure

917
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: like a hurricane one is literally a diva. Well yes,

918
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: but like a blizzard is like it's sort of like

919
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 2: we have to be strong, we have to like batten

920
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: down the hatches. Yeah, we have to like get ready,

921
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: get ready with your nuclear family.

922
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: Also, blizzard is a male name and hurricane is a

923
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: female name. Not to be gender essential, let's start. I

924
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't name my daughter blizzard name for hurricane. Okay, it

925
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: sounds like Caroline or something.

926
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

927
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: Tsunami.

928
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: Tsunami well, bisexual.

929
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: I agree. Fluid it's fluid, Yeah, I agree. Okay, great,

930
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: So that's sort of the end of that.

931
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 3: Earthquake.

932
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: Oh mmmm, that is interesting.

933
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: That is interesting.

934
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: There's something about an earthquake that's sort of empowering because

935
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: it's like a piece of land being like you're not

936
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: going to tell me what I can and can't do.

937
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also something on an earthquake where it's like

938
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: not super destructive most of the time, like which like

939
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 2: sort of it's like it's almost religious. There's something about

940
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: like don't forget you're on Earth.

941
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: You actually can weirdly joke about an earth, Like if

942
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: you are living in California and there's like a little earthquake,

943
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: you can be like, oh, where were you when whatever?

944
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: When the Earth got I mean, all of this is

945
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: going to change when the big one comes and then

946
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: there's literally no more Hollywood.

947
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean I read an article. I hope I didn't

948
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: talk about this already. I read it like maybe six

949
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: months ago, a year ago, about like the big one

950
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: in the Northwest and how it's going to be like

951
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: much much larger than a big one in Cali and

952
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 2: and it we're like overdue for it. Yeah, and now

953
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: I can't stop thinking about it. Actually, when we even

954
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: went on tour and we were in the Northwest, I

955
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: was like, I hope it doesn't happen the next week,

956
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: Like I was like, and I'm like, it's almost that thing.

957
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: Like I have two things in my mind. I'm like,

958
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 2: I never want to get a tattoo because I want

959
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: to be able to go to like the bads in Japan.

960
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 2: And I never want to move to the Northwest because

961
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna die in the next big uh earthquake.

962
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: Slash Astronomy That is not what.

963
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say.

964
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: I know I was to go to the baths the tattoo.

965
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: You actually have told me this cover it up sometimes

966
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: sometimes that you cover up.

967
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes don't even let you cover it up. Sometimes. I like,

968
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: if you have to cover it up, you can't come in, but.

969
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 3: You cover it up before you get there.

970
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: They don't know that's true.

971
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: Get a brand of makeup called Derma Blend. It's waterproof.

972
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 4: Oh wow, set the mall. You gotta find them all

973
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 4: and that's gonna be tough. But Derman Blend is there,

974
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 4: and you put that on and you go there. Don't

975
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 4: you let those people tell you you can't go to

976
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 4: the bath.

977
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 3: How dare they?

978
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 4: You better put on that makeup and go to the bath.

979
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 4: I made me a little bit upset. I don't like

980
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 4: them when people are discluded.

981
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: Really.

982
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 3: Also, I have a tattoo, and what I thought you

983
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 3: were gonna say.

984
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 4: Is I know that I'm going to be scared once

985
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: I get it that it'll never come off and that'll

986
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 4: like freak me out. Because before I cut my tattoo,

987
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 4: I was like, I would like have nightmares that I

988
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: got a big weird tattoo and I'd be like, I'd

989
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 4: wake up be like, ah, it's just a dream.

990
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 3: So I freaking got the smallest tattoo.

991
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: And then for the week after, I had nightmares every

992
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 4: night and I would go, oh my god, I had

993
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 4: a dream I had a tattoo.

994
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: I did I did it?

995
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 4: Oh?

996
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 5: No?

997
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 4: Wow.

998
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean I have to tell you similarly, I I

999
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: don't do a lot of drugs or anything, but I

1000
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: literally have this fear that I will get a tattoo

1001
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: and then do like shrooms and then be afraid of

1002
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: my own tattoo and try to like claw it off

1003
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: my skin or something. Don't you think that's something that

1004
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: would happen.

1005
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's like something that they would tell you in

1006
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: health classes exactly.

1007
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, it does seem like such a childish fear.

1008
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's the number one reason I

1009
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: don't have a tattoo, but there is a part of

1010
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: me that's like it would be it would feel so

1011
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: crazy to look at your skin. Can I say traumatic

1012
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: here the.

1013
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: That's pretty scary.

1014
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 3: Hope that doesn't happen to me.

1015
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think shrooms are that crazy, you know,

1016
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: I think mostly that's the case. Yeah, shromps can do something.

1017
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: Shoms can be tough. Last time I did shrooms, I

1018
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: sort of on accident, did too much. And was that

1019
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: a Harry Styles concert?

1020
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 2: Oh? Classic?

1021
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I was the funniest I've ever

1022
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: been in my entire life. I think I've maybe talked

1023
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: about this on this podcast, but my big joke was

1024
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: that his drummer's bang. His drummer is a female drummer,

1025
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: and my big joke was that her bangs are so

1026
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: large that the concert is a benefit to raise money

1027
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: to get them removed surgically. And I was like, that's

1028
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: the funniest thing I've ever thought in my entire life.

1029
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: I think that's very funny. That works. Yeah, how did you?

1030
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry?

1031
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, please.

1032
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: Amsteram when I was young and fun and did a

1033
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 4: lot of drugs there. But how do you get mushrooms

1034
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 4: in America? Because like over there, you go to the store, yeah,

1035
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 4: and you go, I want to roll this type of

1036
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 4: way and they go, okay, this was.

1037
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: This was certainly given me.

1038
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like now a lot of the because

1039
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 2: weed is legal, a lot of the weed guys now

1040
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: have mushrooms.

1041
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I expected.

1042
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I need to hear like fully three hours

1043
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: on your Amsterdam Muddy experiences. And I'm sure you've talked

1044
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: about it a lot, but.

1045
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 3: It is a mess.

1046
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the funnest, funnest little were you doing comedy? Yes,

1047
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: there is a theater there called Boom Chicago, so I

1048
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 4: moved there to do Boom Chicago. And it's just like

1049
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 4: a you know, second City but over there. Yeah, and

1050
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 4: and most of it is improvised, so it's like, you know,

1051
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 4: short form who cares every single night, Like the where

1052
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 4: the theater was was like the party central, and so

1053
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,959
Speaker 4: it would just fill up with people and you would

1054
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 4: party all night long. And sometimes we would open up

1055
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 4: the theater and then just the whole building would be

1056
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 4: a giant party place. And like this, we were so

1057
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 4: young and so raggedy, Like sometimes we would sleep in

1058
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 4: the office upstairs, and if there was a party, we

1059
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 4: would like, you know, there was a gym next door.

1060
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 4: You'd just bring some clothes, go next door and shower

1061
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 4: and then go downstairs for rehearsal in the morning. And

1062
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 4: it was the nothing is nothing and we were so

1063
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 4: wild and it was so encouraged, like they were like,

1064
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 4: did you stay up all night partying. Ah haha, all right,

1065
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 4: here's your script. Go do a show for Enron.

1066
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: Just like SNL in the eighties. Like that was just

1067
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 1: take I heard it was so good that for women. Wait,

1068
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm almost like, now that we're talking about your history,

1069
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: what a great time to actually talk about what you're

1070
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: working on.

00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 4: should go hug it. Also, I wrote The Wiz. The

1089
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 4: Wiz is coming Back, The Revival of the Whiz. It's

1090
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: on tour in America right now and it lands on

1091
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 4: Broadway March twenty twenty four. You got to get tickets now, man,

1092
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 4: I can't stress enough. I wrote the show and I

1093
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 4: can't get tickets.

1094
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, that's sort of the issue with theater for bringing

1095
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: it up.

1096
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 2: I've never seen a show in my life because tickets

1097
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: are unavailable. There's it's a secret system, have to be

1098
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: in the illuminati in order to receive them, and I've

1099
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: never understood it.

1100
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: I actually think it is my life's work. I have

1101
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: gotten so many free theater tickets in my life and

1102
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: it is like a full time. It's like befriending people

1103
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: who are on press lists.

1104
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 6: It is not beating the illuminati rumors, I hear. Yeah,

1105
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 6: And I really am sort of even like I mean

1106
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 6: literally today, when we knew we were going to have

1107
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 6: you on. Before that, I was like, I had looked up.

1108
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 6: I didn't know The Whiz was on tour. I thought

1109
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 6: it just hadn't open on Broadway yet, because I was like, oh,

1110
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 6: this is an opportunity for me to ask for press,

1111
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 6: to ask your people for press tickets, and that's how

1112
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 6: I'm going to go to the Wits, which we we

1113
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 6: just did for Titan we went for free. That's true

1114
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 6: because we had someone from Titanny, but it is truly.

1115
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 6: I would say it's almost once you get into. One

1116
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 6: of the joys of being in New York is like,

1117
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 6: how do you scam your way into free theater tickets?

1118
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 4: It's pretty neat, Yeah, and every I'm so scared to

1119
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 4: ask for free theater tickets all the time. But then

1120
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 4: now I have an agent, a theater agent, so I

1121
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 4: can pull Kevin aside and be like, Kevin, I want

1122
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 4: to go to everything, So anytime you can get me tickets,

1123
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 4: I want them, okay. And he's like, okay, So I

1124
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 4: get to go to shows a lot more than I should.

1125
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 2: No, you deserve it.

1126
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't know I should.

1127
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 4: Be able to go to shows all the time like this,

1128
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 4: but it's very fun and no one loves it more

1129
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 4: than me.

1130
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1131
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: Were you always a musical person?

1132
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 4: Yes, but I certainly didn't think like I knew I

1133
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 4: loved musicals, and I thought, Oh, I'm just gonna live

1134
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 4: in Omaha forever and do musicals.

1135
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: You know.

1136
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, and I thought I would

1137
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 4: live there forever and do musicals at night and deliver

1138
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 4: the mail in the day.

1139
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: But it never.

1140
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 4: Occurred to me that I could work in theater. Even

1141
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 4: after I was working in theater, and even after spending

1142
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 4: ten years having theater as my full time job, I

1143
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 4: still was like, well, I could never write a real musical.

1144
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 4: Let me just write a bunch of little musicals for myself.

1145
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 4: So I did that, and then I let slip that

1146
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 4: I like writing musicals, and these agents over here were like, well,

1147
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 4: then write them.

1148
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 3: Then shoot, shut up and write them. So I got to.

1149
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 4: And I still am like, I don't see how this happened.

1150
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 4: Imposter syndrome is a hell of a thing, yes, and.

1151
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: Only and the right people don't have it, is what

1152
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: I will.

1153
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 2: Say that that is true.

1154
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: If I could found an a sort of nonprofit, it

1155
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: would be teaching people who have too much confidence to

1156
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: have imposter syndrome to level the playing fields.

1157
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 4: I mean, that was I think it's a Michelle Obama.

1158
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 4: Michelle Obama goes, I've been in the room with some

1159
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: of the smartest people on earth, and let me tell

1160
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 4: you they're not that smart.

1161
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh dang. But then after being

1162
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: around a teeny bit there is no grown.

1163
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 4: Up like people are constantly like looking for permission or

1164
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: like proof that what they're doing is good.

1165
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 3: That doesn't exist. You just have to do your thing.

1166
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the dumbest thing I've ever said to me.

1167
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: I find And Michelle Obama was talking about Cindy McCain. I, well,

1168
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: I find both to be jarring.

1169
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: Like when I like, first when I see huel in

1170
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: power that have no idea what they're doing, I'm sort

1171
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: of like, oh, cool, that means you can just sort

1172
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: of do whatever. But then also when you meet someone

1173
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 2: who really has it all together, I'm like, uh oh,

1174
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: so like, oh, some people do know what they're doing.

1175
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: That's actually, in a weird, almost counterintuitive way, the people

1176
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,479
Speaker 1: who have imposter syndrome often take up so much space

1177
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: by talking about how they have imposter syndrome that you're like,

1178
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe you could put that. And I'm finding myself in

1179
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: this by the way, like I you know, the sort

1180
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: of like neuroticism of just constantly being like self deprecating

1181
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: in this and that, and it's like, how about you

1182
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: calm down for one second, journal a bit, and then

1183
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: let's wake up the next morning and try to seize

1184
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: the day time is running out.

1185
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 4: But man, I mean even the people who have been

1186
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 4: doing everything since time began, they also are doing a

1187
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 4: bad job a lot of the time. But what they've

1188
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 4: done is they've built a system where it's very hard

1189
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 4: for them to do a bad job.

1190
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: And that's what I learned is they ask.

1191
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 4: Everyone for their input, and they have all these filters,

1192
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 4: Like even I do that, Like everything I write has

1193
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 4: to go through Jenny Hagel, and then I'll probably also

1194
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 4: send it to John Lutz and then my friend Shantira

1195
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 4: and then my friend Kevin, and then I'll be like, Okay,

1196
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 4: here's the thing. But I think a lot of people

1197
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 4: have those systems in place, and it just seems like

1198
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 4: they're great all the time.

1199
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, it's self perpetuating because it's like, well, yes, based

1200
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: on the rules that I created, I'm actually crushing.

1201
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1202
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, if you build it. But also, you don't

1203
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 4: need to do that. I regret saying it. Whatever you're

1204
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 4: doing is enough. You don't need your little friends.

1205
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 3: You can do it.

1206
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, with a few exceptions.

1207
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 4: No, No, you're better than everybody else and you can

1208
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 4: do it.

1209
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Okay. I have a question for both of you. If

1210
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: you and then we should do our final segment. If

1211
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: you could make one movie into a musical other than

1212
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: the ones you already have made, what would it be?

1213
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know what might.

1214
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 3: I have given this a lot of thought.

1215
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to write a musical about the movie,

1216
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 4: the Sylvester Stallone arm wrestling movie called over the Top.

1217
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 3: And I think it would be freaking adorable.

1218
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: Is it about competitive arm wrestling?

1219
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 2: Yes, dude, is.

1220
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 3: Competitive arm wrestling. It is so hilarious, Like.

1221
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's not trying to be, but it's freaking hilarious.

1222
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 4: And I think someone should make a movie about or

1223
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 4: a musical about a movie that friggin blows and that

1224
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 4: would be super I.

1225
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 2: Think that would be really good. Wow, that sounds incredible.

1226
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, mine is Darren Aronofsky's mother.

1227
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 2: What's yours? Mine's Austin Powers. Oh, that's good. If there

1228
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 2: was an Austin Power's musical. Honey, I'm there.

1229
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 3: That's not a bad idea.

1230
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: That's a really good idea. Actually done, we should Actually

1231
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: you should talk to ambers people.

1232
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 3: That's not a bad idea. I'll be thinking about that

1233
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 3: for the rest.

1234
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,439
Speaker 1: Of that actually, and that would be the perfect way

1235
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,479
Speaker 1: to bring back Austin Powers, because actually there's just enough

1236
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: stuff and all the powers that hasn't aged well that

1237
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: it needs to be a new take on it.

1238
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah fresh, Yeah, I mean when you watch him do

1239
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: that little character, immediately I'm laughing. This man really has

1240
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: it all together.

1241
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's such a it's such an iconic costume

1242
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: in a way that would translate well to the stage.

1243
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, such a like character that so

1244
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: many different actors would want to play. You're actually a genius.

1245
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: Stephen Tonheim is giving you the thumbs up.

1246
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 2: That's amazing, It's true. Wow, well should be do our

1247
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: final silence and our final segment is called shout Outs,

1248
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: And in this segment we pay homage to the grand

1249
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 2: straight tradition of the radio shout out. So imagine it's

1250
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and one and you're at TRL shouting out

1251
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: to your squad back home, but about anything that you.

1252
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Enjoy, and we think of them on the spot.

1253
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, so don't worry what comes to us. And

1254
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: I actually do have one okay that's relevant to my

1255
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 2: experiences this week. What's up freaks, losers and perverts around

1256
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 2: the globe, And needless to say, healthcare workers as well.

1257
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 2: I would like to get a huge shout out to

1258
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: George's boyfriend's dad. Woo. That's right. Matthew's dad has been

1259
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: sort of my unofficial doctor. Throughout the week. I have

1260
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 2: been calling this man. We have never met in person,

1261
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 2: and yet I have been calling him to talk about

1262
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 2: my insides and he has been so helpful, and it

1263
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: is really amazing to talk to someone who is smart

1264
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: and nice. And also when you call a random person

1265
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 2: that you've never met before and you're like, so, basically,

1266
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: who's going on inside of my asshole? Things can get weird.

1267
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 2: And he is so normal and so LGBTQ plus affirming

1268
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: and to have. I'm so jealous of Matthew's incredible family.

1269
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: I feel I've never felt more family values than I

1270
01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 2: have this week. And shout out to George's boyfriend's dad xoxo, Sam, Wow.

1271
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: What's up, ladies and gentlemen. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna

1272
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: go classic on this one. I want to give a

1273
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: shout out to Okay, I want to give a shout

1274
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: out to Courtney O'Donnell. She brilliant comedian now lives in

1275
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: LA and was here for a show and New York

1276
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: and I open for her a Union hall. When I

1277
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: tell you, she made me smile, ear to ear, the

1278
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: most infectious energy, just positive. Just her smile can light

1279
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: up a thousand rooms. I think she should have her

1280
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: own talk show. I think she has such a unique

1281
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: sense of humor. I think she could truly read the

1282
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: phone book and I would be laughing. And I gotta say,

1283
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna encourage all her listeners to go out there,

1284
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: see her live, give her a follow, and share her reels,

1285
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: because it is time to support women finally.

1286
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 3: Final support us.

1287
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, you're listening to the smooth sounds of Amber

1288
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 4: Ruffin tonight on the Amber Ruffin shouts shit out. She

1289
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 4: would like to shout out her little friend, Jennifer Hagel. Now,

1290
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 4: Jenny Hagel can be seen with Amber on fucking Late

1291
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 4: Night and some shit. But Jenny Hagel is one of

1292
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 4: the funniest people. She started doing shows in Brooklyn at

1293
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 4: this and that. So when you can, you should go

1294
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 4: see her. You should follow her, you should talk to her.

1295
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 4: She's a lovely friend. And when I have to complain,

1296
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 4: I call her and she listens. Am I complaining about

1297
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 4: the same shit? Over and over and over again. You

1298
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 4: bet your bet. But that's what Jenny's for. Jenny good friend,

1299
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 4: better comedian.

1300
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 2: Never shouted out all people.

1301
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: That's never happened before.

1302
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

1303
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 4: I almost shouted out the two waters I drank during

1304
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 4: this podcast.

1305
01:03:58,760 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 3: I actually is close.

1306
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 2: When you were like, can I actually have the second

1307
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 2: water also on the table, I was like, that's insane,

1308
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 2: And then look at me also drinking the second water.

1309
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the only one without a second oneter. Interesting

1310
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: how that works.

1311
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 2: That's kind of crazy. Huh, you're not taking your health seriously.

1312
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 2: I guess well.

1313
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I was never brought a second motto. You know what,

1314
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: Someone told me that I was about to make a

1315
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: joke about how they're racist against Greek people. Someone I

1316
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: won't say who is writing on a show that is

1317
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: based in Greek mythology, and he was saying that there

1318
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: are no Greek people in the room, which made me

1319
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: laugh so much because I'm like, of course, sure, I

1320
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: would love a job at this show. You actually don't

1321
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: need Greek people to like understand Greek mythology. I think

1322
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: it's been grandfathered in enough. I actually don't need representation

1323
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: for that specific issue. But then apparently they got some

1324
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: angry letter from the Hellenic American Society that they are

1325
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: being offensive to Greek people because of their portrayal of

1326
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: the Greek gods. Wow, so you know something we keep

1327
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: in eyes.

1328
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1329
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: Wait, were you involving in it?

1330
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 3: No? Okay, I was just watching it and enjoying it.

1331
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 4: Good, unless that's problematic, in which case I hate it

1332
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 4: and always have.

1333
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1334
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: No, I actually think it looks great and I'm gonna

1335
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: watch it.

1336
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 2: Well, I or George to write all Greek. I would

1337
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 2: love that.

1338
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Well the clock is taking Hollywood,

1339
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the strikes are over, and I'm ready to work.

1340
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, okay, Amber, thanks so much for
