Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 4: The people in Atlanta are very excited, are they. I
Speaker 4: was just there for Thanksgiving and everyone's saying I'm going
Speaker 4: to match show and I said, well, yes you are,
Speaker 4: come on, and they were very disappointed that you did
Speaker 4: not go last year, not to put you on black.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, you know. It's okay. It's okay, Atlanta.
Speaker 3: I'll see you this weekend. Don't be upset. Don't be upset.
Speaker 3: How was Atlanta at Lanton experience? They call it when
Speaker 3: you were when you were there, you were at Lanton.
Speaker 1: I'm Atlanta. You know. It was good. It was great.
Speaker 4: Took the Nieces to see Wicked. They loved, you know,
Speaker 4: put together some legos.
Speaker 1: We did a They.
Speaker 3: Had a chic lego set where it's Wicked. I got
Speaker 3: them a Wicked lego set where it's the dorm room,
Speaker 3: it's Glinda, it's Glinda and Elflipa's dorm room. But it
Speaker 3: opens up into this diorama of the dorm room. But
Speaker 3: it closes into oh girl, I'm not touching that. Matt
Speaker 3: just pulled out a little pre roll. Honey, honey, tell
Speaker 3: you a little story about the diorama. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's over. Basically, well, so you you basically you saw
Speaker 3: an incredible lego diorama with the girls.
Speaker 4: This Ellie girl is very quick on the legos. She
Speaker 4: put it together in no time? What is it called
Speaker 4: no time flat?
Speaker 1: No time flat? Is that what it is? In zero
Speaker 1: second flat? Zero to hero no time flat? Woo.
Speaker 3: Now here's a question that I have for you because
Speaker 3: a lot of discourse about whether or not Wicked is
Speaker 3: actually four kids?
Speaker 1: Were they scared of the.
Speaker 4: The scary parts have to do with chi history, certain,
Speaker 4: and that's that's the only really scary thing. And then
Speaker 4: you know there's fire, there's bullying, which is always scary
Speaker 4: no matter what.
Speaker 1: Which yeah, no, that was really scary.
Speaker 3: But to speak on history, would you say the film
Speaker 3: glorifies animal abuse? And would you say that this is
Speaker 3: your opportunity to speak out against the film for the
Speaker 3: glorification of animal abuse in the film Wicked glorifies it.
Speaker 3: No know, the star of the movie, Oh my god
Speaker 3: is an animal abuser.
Speaker 1: Wicked elf? What do you mean?
Speaker 4: No, you're believing the wizards lies and marbles lies.
Speaker 3: If I come on here and I just I'm like
Speaker 3: explicitly alt right from now on, this movie is sick.
Speaker 3: They're taking people like like liberal elite Bo and Yang
Speaker 3: are taking very young children to this movie that glorifies
Speaker 3: animal abuse. And it starts queer people in lead.
Speaker 1: Roles and it's normalizing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it should never be normal. I'm not normal.
Speaker 4: Don't normalize me, define normal. I have for what this
Speaker 4: episode could be. Yes, yes, yes, we just did a
Speaker 4: big culture catchup, right, yeah, And I thought about this.
Speaker 4: I was like, well we even talk about nothing has happened.
Speaker 4: I bought this book, this used book, and from what
Speaker 4: I can tell, it came out in the late eighties
Speaker 4: early nineties, but I'm going to reveal it to you now.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 4: It's called The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock, PhD.
Speaker 4: And I forget who recommended this. It was on some
Speaker 4: video of like What's in My Bag and some chic
Speaker 4: celebrity had this and she's like, you know, you just
Speaker 4: you're on set or something like, rather than be on
Speaker 4: your phone, you just flip through. This is an old
Speaker 4: book that you flip through and you just ask each other.
Speaker 4: Some of these questions are not super super fun, they're
Speaker 4: a little too deep. But should we just flip through?
Speaker 5: Can I tell you something? Sometimes it's not the question
Speaker 5: that needs to be fun. It's about the answer, you know,
Speaker 5: it's actually a real culture number ten. Sometimes it's not
Speaker 5: about the question that needs to be fun.
Speaker 3: It's about the answer. More value on answers over questionquestions.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean there are no stupid questions. There
Speaker 4: are certainly stupid answers.
Speaker 1: Baby babe into this.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, this episode is called the Book of
Speaker 3: Questions and we should ask each other from it. We
Speaker 3: should ask each other from it. And then I think
Speaker 3: we just have to pick a number from one to
Speaker 3: two seventeen. Maybe producer Beckett can help us with the
Speaker 3: number selection to randomize it. But should I just read
Speaker 3: the back cover? Ye for everyone to get a sense
Speaker 3: of what this is.
Speaker 1: What this is about to be, let us know what
Speaker 1: we can't expect from this episode. Last culture is.
Speaker 4: Okay, big head says, ask yourself, period, Ask your friends,
Speaker 4: ask your parents, ask someone you hardly know. The Book
Speaker 4: of Questions gives you permission to ask those things that
Speaker 4: are too bold, too embarrassing, or just too difficult to
Speaker 4: ask by yourself. You will find questions of integrity, of sex,
Speaker 4: of what you would do for money, even things too
Speaker 4: person to talk about out loud. This is perfect, This
Speaker 4: is perfect. One more little paragraph, may I yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh? Please?
Speaker 4: Whether you use it as a tool for self discovery
Speaker 4: or as a provocative way to stimulate conversation. This book
Speaker 4: constantly challenges attitudes, morals, beliefs, and it challenges you.
Speaker 1: I'm speechless.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to embark on this. I'm speechless.
Speaker 1: Becca, Get in the chat, Get in the chat, Becca.
Speaker 1: Okay in this episode? Okay, Oh, she's already given us
Speaker 1: a number. Okay, what does she say? Number eleven? All right, okay, let's.
Speaker 3: Hear from Bowen Yang. This is the first can we
Speaker 3: and can we get a sound effect?
Speaker 1: We don't.
Speaker 3: We won't know what the sound effect is until later.
Speaker 3: But when after Bowen says number eleven and before he
Speaker 3: reads the question, we need some sound effect. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: we are not going to weigh in on what it is. Whatever,
Speaker 3: whatever are incredible engineers and editors, Dug and choose is
Speaker 3: what we're gonna go with.
Speaker 4: Doug and Milk have fun with us or don't. Just
Speaker 4: you know, get it out of the way. This is
Speaker 4: a big ask. We're throwing this at you last minute.
Speaker 1: But feel free for this to be something that you
Speaker 1: just check right off the list. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if it's no sound then that's also okay too.
Speaker 4: If you're slammed don't worry about it, but we're giving
Speaker 4: you an opening here.
Speaker 3: Carte Blanche, my favorite line from Public Affair by Jessica
Speaker 3: Simpson ready said, go.
Speaker 4: Does she sing carte blanche? And this she says, carte Blanche.
Speaker 4: You need to write a single called carte Blanche.
Speaker 1: Carte blan. Carte Blanche is a really good title for
Speaker 1: a Christmas song. Yeah, carte Blanche, Like like, oh, that's good. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ruminating on that. You should ruminate honey, all right?
Speaker 4: Full of new by the way, Oh my god, can
Speaker 4: I just before we get started on number eleven, congratulations
Speaker 4: to my moving silence sister Matt Rodgers on the new
Speaker 4: single Sandta Boy. It is fantastic triple A pop songcraft.
Speaker 1: Well done. Well thanks.
Speaker 3: I didn't know about this. You didn't tell me. I
Speaker 3: was moving in silence about it. I was moving in
Speaker 3: total silence about it, and I just decided, Okay, now's
Speaker 3: the time to put it out. I wanted to put
Speaker 3: out one more fun song before we embarked on the
Speaker 3: Prince of Christmas tour because I felt we were missing
Speaker 3: a shrewd dance pop and I want to see all
Speaker 3: the rpkfs shaking.
Speaker 1: Ass to this song.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, by the way, just to set things up,
Speaker 3: get there on time if you're coming, because I'm not
Speaker 3: waiting like ten to fifteen minutes to go on because
Speaker 3: it's standing room and it's going to be like a
Speaker 3: music show, and we didn't want to keep people who
Speaker 3: get their early standing. So if you're coming to the show,
Speaker 3: get there on time. I'll get you out of there
Speaker 3: in less than eighty minutes. How about that eighty ninety minutes.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the perfect Goldilock zone. Well done.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Henry Koperski and Ethan Christopher who this
Speaker 3: is his first song he ever co wrote. We wrote
Speaker 3: it together, Ethan. Of course, Leland and Gable Lopez fucked
Speaker 3: it up. They absolutely went so hard on the track,
Speaker 3: way too hard, way harder than I think I deserve.
Speaker 4: But I'm still come on, it is what you deserve,
Speaker 4: it is what we deserve. Leland gave Ethan, Henry, Matt Rogers, Bravo, Bravisimo.
Speaker 1: And a boy Streamer. Thank you, my absolute number one.
Speaker 1: I love you. Just say nothing of number eleven, which
Speaker 1: is I guess when we're headed should I read it? Yes?
Speaker 4: Number eleven. You are given the power to kill people
Speaker 4: simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the
Speaker 4: word goodbye. People would die in natural death and no
Speaker 4: one would suspect you. Are there any situations in which
Speaker 4: you would use this power? No, I'm not killing anybody.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, sure, I'll kill like, don't say that.
Speaker 1: We love to cut that, We'll cut that out. I
Speaker 1: would kill.
Speaker 3: I would kill keep certain people who abuse power. By
Speaker 3: the way, this has gone already so last in such
Speaker 3: a direction, I didn't see the questions will really run
Speaker 3: the gamut?
Speaker 1: Would I kill anyone?
Speaker 3: You know what, if I saw in a moment someone
Speaker 3: trying to physically harm someone I deeply cared about, I
Speaker 3: would do it then. But I would never like premeditate.
Speaker 3: I would use this power of number eleven as self defense.
Speaker 3: And I would just want to say, going forward, if
Speaker 3: it ever does come to light that I've quote unquote
Speaker 3: killed someone, just know it was self defense. I would
Speaker 3: never premeditated kill someone. I'm not a killer. I don't
Speaker 3: identify as a killer. Whenever I even see movies where
Speaker 3: there is a killer, I never understand them. I don't
Speaker 3: identify with any of these girls.
Speaker 4: How could you snuff out human life? It's so crazy.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's your responsibility.
Speaker 3: So you're saying that you would only use it if
Speaker 3: you were in a situation where you saw someone harming
Speaker 3: your friend, like if I.
Speaker 1: Saw someone rushing you, if I saw someone rushing for myself.
Speaker 1: Don't worry Bowen. No, you can't, not if you're back. Yes,
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 3: First of all, it's don't make this into it. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to save your fucking life, bitch. So get bet
Speaker 3: you know what, Just get him, Go get him. He
Speaker 3: doesn't want my help.
Speaker 1: Go get him. Oh so you kill me, you won't
Speaker 1: use the power so that I will die. Now he's
Speaker 1: making a face. I'm doing it now to say goodbye
Speaker 1: you just goodbye. He lives. You were just didn't happen.
Speaker 1: A pelican didn't fly through the window, and its peak
Speaker 1: didn't impale his skull like hold on, hold.
Speaker 3: On, Oh, it's natural causes, that is what whatever.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 4: It's a natural cause. You just gave eleven stranger things down.
Speaker 4: Bobby could never about to get a nosebleed.
Speaker 3: I did think when I saw that character, I thought
Speaker 3: should be me, should be me?
Speaker 1: I mean not, no, So what about you now now
Speaker 1: you yeah, you don't feel comfortable. You would do it.
Speaker 3: I would do it, but you just said you wouldn't
Speaker 3: snuff out human life. There are absolutely situations where someone's
Speaker 3: death would be helpful to the greater good.
Speaker 1: Honestly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that question that they asked right Like
Speaker 3: if they gave you a baby and put it in
Speaker 3: your hands, and you said, what's the baby's name? And
Speaker 3: they said Adolf. This is Adolf Hitler and the baby
Speaker 3: in your arms was Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 1: W WJD one other questions. Jesus, Jesus Christ. I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. That's a really tough one. One
Speaker 3: option is you could run away with the baby and
Speaker 3: put it in a nice atmosphere, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's this is about current day, Matt Rodgers and
Speaker 3: the year twenty twenty four. If you were given the
Speaker 3: power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths
Speaker 3: and twice repeating the word dubai, would you do it?
Speaker 3: Depends on the day. Probably not, probably likely nough no
Speaker 3: one would suspect you, and you just have to live
Speaker 3: with you, just because I would live with That's the
Speaker 3: thing is like my brain works over time, and I
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. And I
Speaker 3: don't think neither could you. I definitely would have a
Speaker 3: hard time. I just think certain deaths could be good.
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you there.
Speaker 3: I think, how about this mm hmm, if this power
Speaker 3: ever happens to either of us, let's tell each other yes,
Speaker 3: and if something comes up where it feels like someone should,
Speaker 3: let's just talk it through. But then it's ooh, it's
Speaker 3: a one to one vote, like it's there needs to
Speaker 3: be an odd number here. Let's also say Becca, Becca
Speaker 3: needs to weigh in if we were to have the power,
Speaker 3: and that includes you, beca. If you were to have
Speaker 3: the power, beca, what do you think?
Speaker 6: Okay, So, just to be clear, the power is to
Speaker 6: kill anybody and no one would know. And it would
Speaker 6: be no one would know a natural death, natural death.
Speaker 6: Oh it would be I missed that part, okay, like
Speaker 6: a heart attack.
Speaker 7: They would just die and no one will know.
Speaker 1: No, I think the whole thing is less fun.
Speaker 7: That's only by brutal.
Speaker 1: Only by brutal.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if we're going to kill someone, at
Speaker 3: least let's have fun doing it. Like I wanted, Like, honestly,
Speaker 3: when I was just eleven ing, well, that's kind of
Speaker 3: funny that her name is eleven and this was question eleven.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was the spookiest episodes yet. And
Speaker 3: I thought it was December and not October. But this
Speaker 3: actually is one of the scariest episodes we've ever done
Speaker 3: so far period. First line of the description and one
Speaker 3: of the scariest. So yeah, Comma, Matt and Bowen and yeah,
Speaker 3: go through the Book of Questions.
Speaker 8: The power, Rebecca, Okay, the fire sign in me, like
Speaker 8: my double fire big three is like absolutely, Like I
Speaker 8: can think of specifically like two people on the top
Speaker 8: of my head and I'm like they're gone. But I
Speaker 8: would riddle me like I couldn't sit being the only
Speaker 8: person who knew that.
Speaker 4: What is the emotional What is the interiority of knowing
Speaker 4: that you have the power even if you don't use it.
Speaker 4: You're like, I have the power.
Speaker 7: That I feel like would weigh on me because it's
Speaker 7: for death is in your hands. It's like whatever death
Speaker 7: note you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's death note yea.
Speaker 1: I deeply just want my own little positive life, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, Like I don't I don't even
Speaker 3: want to think about it.
Speaker 8: That's what I think is the worst part, because it
Speaker 8: is very heavy on you. It's like you carry darkness.
Speaker 1: You essentially are the grim Reaper. Are you comfortable with that?
Speaker 3: If you're comfortable with the knowledge that you, Becca Ramos
Speaker 3: are the grim Reaper, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know how I
Speaker 1: sleep at night as the grim Reaper.
Speaker 7: It's like, what if you have the wrong thought and
Speaker 7: then someone just dies. You know, you were just having
Speaker 7: a bad.
Speaker 8: Day, exactly, exactly exactly what happened to me, Like we've
Speaker 8: all had bad days.
Speaker 7: Best friend's ex thought about it too hard.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's over, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Plus it's better
Speaker 3: for those people to live better, for them to live
Speaker 3: and see you thrive.
Speaker 7: I want to know they're miserable in every lifetime.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's an asterisk at the end of this question,
Speaker 4: and I look to the back and there's an additional
Speaker 4: follow up question, and I think we I think we're
Speaker 4: all in agreement with this, but I'll read it. If
Speaker 4: you can imagine yourself killing someone indirectly, could you still
Speaker 4: see doing so? If you had to look into the
Speaker 4: person's eyes and stab the person to death. Have you
Speaker 4: ever genuinely wanted to kill someone or where someone does? No, No,
Speaker 4: that's not an impulse.
Speaker 1: I have never.
Speaker 4: That's if someone answers yes to number eleven. Aster risk
Speaker 4: that's concerning.
Speaker 1: The Book of Questions is crazy. What was this published?
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure everybody over one million
Speaker 3: in prints.
Speaker 7: This is like the dark version of We're Not Really Strangers.
Speaker 3: This was published in nineteen eighty five. What's We're not
Speaker 3: really Strangers?
Speaker 7: Oh my god, you guys don't know.
Speaker 1: No, I am.
Speaker 8: The queen of We're Not Really Strangers. Okay, so it is.
Speaker 8: I'm like, do I go grab it? It is this
Speaker 8: card game that is kind of intimate, and they have
Speaker 8: different versions of it now they have like a friendship
Speaker 8: version and a family version.
Speaker 7: But the whole point is that it is three sections of.
Speaker 8: Cards and you go through them one on one with
Speaker 8: somebody and they kind of get more deep as you go. Oh,
Speaker 8: because you do like about six to eight cards per round,
Speaker 8: like yes the question, and they ask you a question
Speaker 8: and you answer them kind of like this book, and
Speaker 8: then as you get to the end, you then write
Speaker 8: a little note about your experience with this person and
Speaker 8: you give it to them and they read it.
Speaker 7: Oh, it is very intimate, but I love it.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That is a lot.
Speaker 7: Make everyone play it.
Speaker 8: I'm like, you want to get close to me, we're
Speaker 8: playing We're not really strangers right now.
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to say that, like this
Speaker 4: was like a light version of that New York Times
Speaker 4: questionnaire where you ask these questions and you fall in
Speaker 4: love with the person, which does not work, by the way,
Speaker 4: Oh it doesn't work, But this sounds even more intense.
Speaker 7: Yes it is.
Speaker 8: It's pretty intense, especially because they have now all these
Speaker 8: expansion packs, like they have like the early Dating expansion back,
Speaker 8: which I do recommend if you're like on a date
Speaker 8: three with somebody bringing that out to be like, are
Speaker 8: we worth dating any further?
Speaker 3: No, No, I was just going to say, the craziest
Speaker 3: people in America are doing this on dates.
Speaker 7: Yes, not the craziest person is doing the big one
Speaker 7: on the first date.
Speaker 1: That is like, oh, no, that's absurd. That's we need.
Speaker 3: I would think number eleven about those types of people,
Speaker 3: because literally, I'm.
Speaker 7: Like, you're like, I don't know you. We don't need
Speaker 7: to be having this conversation.
Speaker 8: Now, only a long term relationship one like if you've
Speaker 8: been in Ah, sure they have like a family one.
Speaker 8: They have like a deep friendships one, like people even
Speaker 8: friends with like you guys for years.
Speaker 4: If you're snowed in with your significant other, yeah, perfect
Speaker 4: game to play.
Speaker 3: It's cute, like, Oh, snowed in with significant other? You
Speaker 3: bring out what's.
Speaker 7: It called, we're not really stranger.
Speaker 1: We're not really.
Speaker 4: Strangers, and that's a rule of culture. Number seventy two.
Speaker 3: With your significant other, you bring out, we're not really strangers?
Speaker 1: Should we do the next question? Yes? Backet, Now give
Speaker 1: us another number. Okay, three, three, she's staying on the
Speaker 1: low end. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Another Okay, this is another really intense one. I mean,
Speaker 4: I guess this is the book of questions.
Speaker 1: Do it? Do it? That's the book of questions. Number three.
Speaker 3: If you were to die this evening with no opportunity
Speaker 3: to kate with anyone, what would you most regret not
Speaker 3: having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh my god.
Speaker 3: This is so crazy. We can't answer this.
Speaker 1: I mean I think we have to. We have to,
Speaker 1: we have to do this.
Speaker 3: Oh my brain goes one place like it's parental.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about the parents.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, this episode went so hard into the book
Speaker 3: of questions. I don't even like putting this out there,
Speaker 3: but like, if someone in your immediate family were to
Speaker 3: go without you, girl, this is so fucking crazy without
Speaker 3: you being like, thank you for you know, pouring everything
Speaker 3: you had into raising me, into giving me a good family,
Speaker 3: a good foundation. Like I respect and love you so much,
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean, Like that is something
Speaker 3: that I think is so worth it to share with parents.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, I think that there is no
Speaker 3: more intimate relationship then if you really think about it,
Speaker 3: like the one between parent and child, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Like that is like hopefully if all works out, yeah,
Speaker 3: well yes, but I mean like when that relationship exists, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like that is the most intimate thing. And I think
Speaker 3: it's so intimate that it's like the true base of
Speaker 3: your emotions is revealed in that expression of gratitude for
Speaker 3: being on this planet, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 3: that is very intimate, that acknowledgment and that you know,
Speaker 3: it's especially when you know you're someone who grows up
Speaker 3: and like, like anyone I would imagine that there's strife
Speaker 3: between parents and children. You know, everyone has those issues
Speaker 3: and those blocks, but that for that reason is probably
Speaker 3: my answer to this question, is why haven't you told
Speaker 3: them yet? Because it's very hard to like, I don't
Speaker 3: know access that all that.
Speaker 4: I know, I always want to go beyond the moment
Speaker 4: of telling either my parents that I love them, which
Speaker 4: I do all the time, and they get very vulnerable
Speaker 4: and they kind of cut right to like the heart
Speaker 4: of something where they're like, yes, I'm like whoa, Like
Speaker 4: all right, Like this is not the right time or
Speaker 4: place for this conversation. And I wish I killed that
Speaker 4: instinct a.
Speaker 3: Little bit more of theirs of mine to be like
Speaker 3: to like I don't shut it down, but I kind
Speaker 3: of dismissed it. And I'm like, no, I should I
Speaker 3: should let that play, let that breathe, Like it's there's
Speaker 3: a reason they're communicating this, and yes, yeah, like for
Speaker 3: all the hardships that like my my parents and I
Speaker 3: have had, like now, it's so beautiful and lovely and
Speaker 3: it's and it's always been in a way, and and
Speaker 3: I just want to tell them like none of this
Speaker 3: would have been possible without you. And they gave me
Speaker 3: an opportunity even though they did not by like literally
Speaker 3: moving out of China so that I could have been
Speaker 3: born and moving to the US and making sure I
Speaker 3: was okay for the most part, even though they didn't
Speaker 3: understand what I was doing, Like that is a huge
Speaker 3: thing for them. And can you imagine moving to a
Speaker 3: place where you don't speak the language, where you are
Speaker 3: immediately no a different, Like you're immediately marked in the
Speaker 3: society as someone who's different and someone who whose assumptions
Speaker 3: are created about you. Like I mean, the sacrifice is immense.
Speaker 4: Yes, they tell me this all the time, and it's
Speaker 4: not to guilt me, but it's like they want me
Speaker 4: to internalize that, and I have and it's just but
Speaker 4: no amount of thought about it will ever like make
Speaker 4: that unremarkable.
Speaker 1: It's so remarkable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Also the totality of so basically I don't know
Speaker 3: if you notice this. I'm sure you do it. I'm
Speaker 3: sure that's part of what you're getting at. But my
Speaker 3: father has become so much more emotional as time goes on.
Speaker 3: I think it's because the estrogen starts popping, and man,
Speaker 3: as they get older, and I just think about your
Speaker 3: father and to understand and really wrap your mind around
Speaker 3: what that sacrifice ends it up doing in a macro sense,
Speaker 3: in a cosmic sense, like he moved to this country,
Speaker 3: well countries, you know what I mean, Like made it
Speaker 3: work so much so that his son is a superstar
Speaker 3: and not. But here's the thing I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3: You're shying away from it, but wow, if you could
Speaker 3: go back in time and be like, you might not
Speaker 3: even understand this later, but your son is going to
Speaker 3: be able to literally pursue his dream in America and
Speaker 3: become so brilliant at it that it's inspiring and changes
Speaker 3: things for other people. I mean, I just hope that
Speaker 3: part of what they're experiencing when they are trying to
Speaker 3: say that to you is that they acknowledge that how
Speaker 3: successful they were. That's just something that I think is
Speaker 3: truly an incredible story.
Speaker 1: It is an incredible story.
Speaker 4: They had one outfit per year that my grandma basically
Speaker 4: sewed her six children pants, but she hemmed the pants
Speaker 4: to like short little pants, right, And then as they
Speaker 4: got older, they had one pair of pants their entire
Speaker 4: childhood into their teenage years, and then every year as
Speaker 4: they grew she would take the hem out and then
Speaker 4: just roll it down, like they had one outfit for
Speaker 4: their entire and they would sleep together in the same room,
Speaker 4: huddled together in the cold of inner Mongolia with no light.
Speaker 4: Like it's like my grandma had her feet bound two
Speaker 4: generations ago. My illiterate grandmother was raising six kids with
Speaker 4: her feet bound, and like that practice had been illegal
Speaker 4: for like twenty years in China, but then she didn't
Speaker 4: know about it until someone from the coastal cities like
Speaker 4: went into god the landlocked parts of that country, and
Speaker 4: they were like take the binding off. Like wow, it's
Speaker 4: it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It is crazy.
Speaker 3: And I think that that is that idea is so
Speaker 3: big and there's complicated feelings with people, like even though
Speaker 3: those sacrifices have been made, it's there's of course just
Speaker 3: that that because then you are an American child growing
Speaker 3: up and like you know what I mean, there is
Speaker 3: something about I think I experienced with my with this
Speaker 3: is my father too. I remember one time it came
Speaker 3: up that I was going to have to go to
Speaker 3: work one day in high school to my busboy job,
Speaker 3: and it was raining, and I said something like I
Speaker 3: hope they call me off work because it would I
Speaker 3: could use my time better being at home, like studying
Speaker 3: or something, or like doing something else. And I don't
Speaker 3: want to go to work because we'll make no money.
Speaker 3: And my dad lost his mind on me and he
Speaker 3: was like you go to work. And we had this
Speaker 3: crazy fight and I did go to work, made no money,
Speaker 3: came back early. But later he knocked on my door
Speaker 3: and he was very tearful and he was like, I'm
Speaker 3: really sorry I overreacted. I just sometimes wish your grandfather
Speaker 3: was an influence in your life. And that's when I
Speaker 3: realized he was like really going through something and thinking
Speaker 3: about his own father. And it was like obviously like
Speaker 3: baggage that was coming out.
Speaker 1: But there's this.
Speaker 3: Idea that like when you think about your history and
Speaker 3: your lineage, there is a guilt because people didn't have
Speaker 3: options in terms of comfort, in terms of you know,
Speaker 3: trajectory of their life. Like it was just you woke
Speaker 3: up and you did it and you put your head down.
Speaker 3: And I think generationally that is difficult for people to
Speaker 3: wrap their heads around, like someone who was a baby boomer,
Speaker 3: like in America, you know what I mean, like have
Speaker 3: a different idea of what it means to like go
Speaker 3: about this. And I think I was experiencing that in
Speaker 3: that moment, and it's like from you to your father
Speaker 3: to his father, those are three completely different abject realities.
Speaker 1: So of course there's going to be like lack of understanding.
Speaker 4: But for you, it's like from your father to his father,
Speaker 4: it's like the through line there. And I hope I'm
Speaker 4: sure you were impacted by that overreaction on his end,
Speaker 4: but it's like, yeah, that is like you getting this
Speaker 4: work ethic that like, no one works harder than you,
Speaker 4: no one works harder than you.
Speaker 3: Well, that's very nice of you to say. I would
Speaker 3: point to yourself. But I mean, like I remember if
Speaker 3: it was so unfair at the time that I was
Speaker 3: being treated this way, I'm sure you know what it's
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. When it's like this is something
Speaker 3: that my father is just wrong about, I know, you know,
Speaker 3: but it's like now looking back, I'm like, I do
Speaker 3: understand it. I have compassionate empathy for it. My dad
Speaker 3: used to tell me when I was very little, very little,
Speaker 3: one of his famous lines was I know everything, and
Speaker 3: if you ever have a question, you asked me. And
Speaker 3: I actually believe that, yeah, and I don't I understand
Speaker 3: what he's trying to do I don't know if I
Speaker 3: don't know if I would do it. Well, you know,
Speaker 3: my dad is my dad, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like he's he's very similar to me, Like we both
Speaker 3: have very performative personalities. We're both you know, gravitated towards
Speaker 3: being the center of attention. And I think that like
Speaker 3: he would say something like that because he doesn't want
Speaker 3: me to value someone else's opinion or knowledge in the
Speaker 3: world over his.
Speaker 1: You know, he's my father.
Speaker 3: But then when they reveal themselves to be human beings later,
Speaker 3: that is when you as a son, there is a
Speaker 3: moment of like you almost feel frustrated about it. Not
Speaker 3: that you were lied to, but that it almost feels like, oh,
Speaker 3: you didn't know everything. You're a human being just like
Speaker 3: everyone else.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he second guess everything, but it does become like
Speaker 3: a core belief. But then it's great to know that
Speaker 3: your parents are human.
Speaker 4: You would want to say all of this and more
Speaker 4: to your parents to answer the question.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, right, Like it's hard, Like I remember,
Speaker 3: we've had moments where it really does happen more with
Speaker 3: my dad and like it happens less with my mom.
Speaker 3: But I think he becomes more emotional as he gets older,
Speaker 3: and I think you're recognizing that as well.
Speaker 4: Right absolutely, And as we're talking about this, like to
Speaker 4: go back to going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving, Like, I
Speaker 4: just know for a fact, I got so stressed out
Speaker 4: because the kids, you know, had moments, as they should
Speaker 4: their kids, they had moments where they were.
Speaker 1: Distressed and well, Chistory was being abused, Chisty was.
Speaker 4: Being abused, and there was a whole bunch of stuff
Speaker 4: going on, you know, every every other hour. There was
Speaker 4: just some kind of mini meltdown. And I realized that
Speaker 4: that's normal. But for me, I was like, this is
Speaker 4: more stressed than I've ever felt than I felt in
Speaker 4: the last two months of yeah, work and wicked press
Speaker 4: and like all that stuff. I'm like, this is more.
Speaker 4: Anytime someone's like I don't know how you do it,
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, that's easy. Like what's hard for me
Speaker 4: is watching these beautiful children get stressed out and then
Speaker 4: my sister and my brother in law having a handle it,
Speaker 4: and my mom having a handle it.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, shout out to the parents.
Speaker 1: This is my thing. I could never do it.
Speaker 4: And my thing is like anytime someone asked me what
Speaker 4: your drag name would be, anytime someone asks me like,
Speaker 4: what would your like restaurant be called or whatever, I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't know the answer to that, because I have
Speaker 4: too much respect for the thing to know that I
Speaker 4: would never be in that situation.
Speaker 1: I will never.
Speaker 3: I will never. I have such reverence for my parents,
Speaker 3: for your parents, for any parent.
Speaker 9: Who doesn't drag artist and drag artists and restauranteur who
Speaker 9: pours their heart and sole into this thing, like I
Speaker 9: could never, literally, I could never.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like a couple of our group chats
Speaker 3: have been active and because it's the holidays and people
Speaker 3: be texting, so everyone is saying the same thing, which.
Speaker 1: Is I'm never having kids.
Speaker 3: I'm never having kids, so much like even the people
Speaker 3: that wanted kids in our life are suddenly like turned
Speaker 3: around and be like like, it's tough, it is tough.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: The Book of Dansons, the Book of Questions is popping off. Okay, Becca,
Speaker 3: give us another number.
Speaker 1: One through two hundred and seventeen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, let's get deep, not that we haven't yet,
Speaker 3: I mean deeper than numeric, Like.
Speaker 1: Okay, she's.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, here we go. This is I like this
Speaker 3: number one two? Oh, this is simple.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: What do you value most in a relationship? And I
Speaker 4: guess this is open ended. I guess this could be romantic,
Speaker 4: This could be acquaintanceship, friendship, whatever, in a relationship. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say, I'm gonna interpret this as romantic.
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, let's choose to interpret it romantically. What
Speaker 3: do you value most in a romantic relationship?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say something that's kind of like an iroll maybe, yeah,
Speaker 4: but comfort.
Speaker 3: I think comfort is an incredible thing to look for,
Speaker 3: and it's so valuable. Everything else falls into Yes, I
Speaker 3: think once you're comfortable, I think that's literally, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's where vulnerability comes from. That's where understanding comes from.
Speaker 3: I think that's obviously what I'm going to say comes
Speaker 3: from this, which is trust, which I think is so
Speaker 3: different than honesty. It's so different than all those things. Trust, Like,
Speaker 3: it really hurts when someone breaks your trust.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I mean that's like betrayal. I mean it's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, you can trust me, and then
Speaker 3: turning around and being untrustworthy.
Speaker 1: That's true, villain behavior. That's evil ass.
Speaker 4: It is a mutual sort of buy in right in
Speaker 4: a way, It's like you trust the person, and so
Speaker 4: therefore what dictates your behavior around that person is to
Speaker 4: make sure that you build that trust with them and
Speaker 4: that they trust you in return. And then when that is,
Speaker 4: when that is violated, it is so painful, it's.
Speaker 1: Not so good.
Speaker 3: But then in terms of comfort too, it's just like,
Speaker 3: you know, what I've been like dating a lot. Like
Speaker 3: something I'm I think I'm trying to find now is
Speaker 3: like instant comfort, like like it's gonna be some like
Speaker 3: it's gonna be some kind of sign you know, like
Speaker 3: me too. But that is that's bad. If you feel
Speaker 3: instantly comfortable, that's when your guard is down. That's when
Speaker 3: you start looking the other way. That's when you start
Speaker 3: ignoring things. And I also think comfort, at least for me,
Speaker 3: is also based in a little bit of like sexual attraction.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I'm comfortable here, Like I think I
Speaker 3: could like ultimately potentially use my body in a certain
Speaker 3: way with this person. Yeah, like and I think that
Speaker 3: that Maybe I'm just thinking about my own past, But
Speaker 3: that is what makes you ignore red flags. Both and
Speaker 3: the other person and yourself. It's just important that I
Speaker 3: just don't want to get fooled in.
Speaker 1: Totally. That's trust.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's trust too, Like I trust you
Speaker 4: to I trust you enough that I'm going to use
Speaker 4: my to use your word, use my body.
Speaker 3: No, my I don't think you later is about a
Speaker 3: certain thing. But because that, I guess we're kind of
Speaker 3: saying the same thing ultimately, like I want.
Speaker 1: To be able to be really available to you and
Speaker 1: not be sorry later.
Speaker 3: Totally, I guess the subtle difference in our answers is
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of comfort in terms of like internal comfort,
Speaker 3: like between the two people or whatever, and then outer comfort,
Speaker 3: which is to say that like which is the classic
Speaker 3: thing of like can this person Like can I leave
Speaker 3: this person alone at a party? Not that that's like
Speaker 3: the thing that I value the most. It's just like
Speaker 3: a good sign. It's that that's a sign of comfort.
Speaker 3: That's a manifestation of comfort to me.
Speaker 4: Can I I have the scenario I'm like, this is
Speaker 4: so eye roll, but I'm like, can this person hang
Speaker 4: in the fire Island house?
Speaker 1: Of like me?
Speaker 4: You, Josh, Aaron Patrick Wit, you know, like everyone is.
Speaker 3: That what you would want, But I also think about this.
Speaker 3: I sometimes think about would you want your cigo to
Speaker 3: be around all the time?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know yet. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I've had versions of both.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what would you prefer one?
Speaker 1: I actually I have.
Speaker 3: No idea, because I mean, out of everything I've been in, like,
Speaker 3: I clearly still don't know what's the best thing for me.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm still looking for.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know, but what to use Henry Koperski
Speaker 4: as an example, like a cigo who was around.
Speaker 1: A lot of time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and everyone was thrilled about that. Absolutely, And now
Speaker 3: look at you guys, you're like, still you still have
Speaker 3: a wonderful friendship. But I'll say this, and this is
Speaker 3: not revealing anything, I think, because I think he would
Speaker 3: say this.
Speaker 1: He wasn't always comfortable with it. Oh of course, So
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like you like, it's a lot to be around
Speaker 3: a lot of people who are like, you know whatever,
Speaker 3: comedians and like.
Speaker 1: On all the time. Oh my god, it's interesting.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of like an ask, you know
Speaker 3: when not that I feel like it's an ask to
Speaker 3: date me.
Speaker 1: But I get why someone wouldn't want to.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's it's a huge aster risk. Yeah, it's a risk,
Speaker 3: you know, it's a lot, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's just a lot of energy that goes in and
Speaker 4: goes out. That's what it's about. Yeah, anyway, Okay.
Speaker 3: I love that question too. Comfort and trust. I'm sure
Speaker 3: people will agree. Some people out there are going to
Speaker 3: be real horn dogs are just like a good dick.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Let's go with another question, Becca, give it two hundred
Speaker 4: and six. Okay, you're really playing the extremes and the polls.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 3: Okay, number two hundred and six. Would you be willing
Speaker 3: to eat a bowl of live crickets for forty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1: Yes, a bowl of live crickets for thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm chopping down on them thereby killing them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've had bugs in the past. Totally fine, kind of flavorless.
Speaker 4: It's just a texture thing, and it's just it's a
Speaker 4: mental thing of like, oh, I'm swallowing a bug and
Speaker 4: that's but once you get past that, it's like, oh
Speaker 4: it's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I might need to see the
Speaker 3: crickets the bowl.
Speaker 4: Here Okay, let's google. Let's google a bowl of crickets.
Speaker 4: Becka says, it's no taxies like cash money.
Speaker 3: Crazy answer, like, so you would do it for forty thousand,
Speaker 3: but not what thirty two thousand?
Speaker 1: Sure beca no, that's still we never know.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 8: When I think about the lottery, right, and how people
Speaker 8: are like broke after they win the lottery, or like
Speaker 8: when you get those cars on Oprah and then you're
Speaker 8: in debt, Like I want to see like a trunk
Speaker 8: of cash and they're like, here you go, babe, no
Speaker 8: iffans or butts.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, crickets, here's a cash.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but if there's work for me after I eat
Speaker 8: those crickets, there's no catch.
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just assume there's no catch. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm saying, yeah, I'm thinking, what is can you a
Speaker 3: bowl of crickets?
Speaker 1: I put it in the chat. I put in the chat.
Speaker 3: Oh see, I don't know that this bowl of crickets
Speaker 3: is so crazy looking.
Speaker 7: It's a this all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, That's what I'm saying, is like I would need
Speaker 3: to see the bowl because suddenly it's like forty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars seems not enough money for this, Like this is
Speaker 3: this is probably not only physically difficult, but like digestionally
Speaker 3: impossible to take all these crickets to the thumb? Can
Speaker 3: I actually modify this question a little bit?
Speaker 1: Can you? It's the Book of Questions?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, Well look it was published in nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty five. Forty thousand dollars in nineteen eighty five is
Speaker 4: the equivalent to one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars?
Speaker 1: Now okay, now let's look at this cricket ball again.
Speaker 7: And that's what I'm wearing. No tax one hundred you
Speaker 7: know what?
Speaker 1: Hundred K?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: Can I make an addentum on the question? Yeah? Can
Speaker 1: I put buffalo sauce on this? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I didn't say you couldn't.
Speaker 1: Then I'll still do it for forty I love buffalo sauce.
Speaker 4: I'll put it on anything. Yeah, put it on anything.
Speaker 4: I would do barbecue.
Speaker 1: That's what the difference is.
Speaker 3: That's no, I love buffalo too, you know I love Buffalo. Oh,
Speaker 3: come on, anyone who's not like a Buffalo fan, I
Speaker 3: could not date them. Then that might be closed on
Speaker 3: the top of the list. Like things you're looking for
Speaker 3: the traits. The other question, Buffalo lover I need a
Speaker 3: buffalo lover for show. Toss me in it, toss me
Speaker 3: in it, all right, Becca, new number, new number.
Speaker 1: They were clearly running out of ideas.
Speaker 3: They started so hot at three and eleven, and then
Speaker 3: they were like, would you eat a bowl of crickets?
Speaker 1: Sixty nine? Oh my god? This absolute freak for sexty nine?
Speaker 4: Can somebody maunch Becca's freak number sixty nine? If a
Speaker 4: friend were almost all ways late, would you resent it
Speaker 4: or simply allow for it?
Speaker 1: Can you be counted on to be on time? Okay?
Speaker 4: I've had conversations with people even after they were like
Speaker 4: forty five minutes late once, yeah, and I'm like, that
Speaker 4: wasn't okay. I'm generally I have. I have my moments
Speaker 4: like today I was late. I asked to push our
Speaker 4: you know, zoom back five to ten minutes.
Speaker 3: That late I mean us for five and then I
Speaker 3: said ten or well, that's not late. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to say that I'm always on time. I try to be, okay,
Speaker 3: can I still and let me let me also throw
Speaker 3: out there for me personally, ten minutes late is not late.
Speaker 1: It's not late, like ten minutes late is not late.
Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't really care you you text
Speaker 3: me and be like, hey, I'm just running ten behind.
Speaker 3: I know you're on your way ten minutes. In the
Speaker 3: grand scheme of life, I can sit there.
Speaker 4: Becka says, thirty plus minutes is late. Agree, that's like
Speaker 4: if someone were almost always late, that would be an issue.
Speaker 3: If you're over thirty minutes late all the time, it's
Speaker 3: definitely an issue because why should I take on the
Speaker 3: responsibility of navigating my own shit around the fact.
Speaker 1: That you're always late?
Speaker 3: Because then, guess what, I can't say it out loud.
Speaker 3: I can't have an honest conversation with you. I can't
Speaker 3: honestly be like, Okay, well you said two, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: show up at two thirty because you're you ha ha ha,
Speaker 3: because then you're gonna show up at three, right, and
Speaker 3: now we're an hour after when we wanted to hang.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, just understand like that chronic lateness
Speaker 3: like that. Rue Paul says, that's being addicted to the
Speaker 3: feeling of being late. That's an addiction.
Speaker 1: Actually, Whoa totally?
Speaker 3: And I also am like if you can't be dependable
Speaker 3: with other people, then then there's something about you that
Speaker 3: is not dependable to yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I think one of the reasons
Speaker 3: why there aren't people in my life that I have
Speaker 3: this problem with is because if you have displayed this behavior,
Speaker 3: I wrote.
Speaker 1: You off already.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Yes, kinda. I mean, like if you're saying, I
Speaker 3: will never forget One time years ago, I let Catherine
Speaker 3: Cohen sit at a diner for forty minutes waiting for me.
Speaker 3: I will never forget it. I will always feel bad
Speaker 3: about it, the guilt, and I could tell she was annoyed,
Speaker 3: and she should have been. But like she also sat
Speaker 3: with me still and gave me forty five minutes of
Speaker 3: lunch at the diner that I did make, not deserve,
Speaker 3: because forty minutes late is crazy and it haunts me
Speaker 3: the one time. If this was something about me, like
Speaker 3: that was a reliable thing. The only reliable thing about
Speaker 3: me is that you're unreliable. Ooh, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 3: That's not gonna work. Hm hm, all right. I feel
Speaker 3: like so far this is a nice sampling of questions.
Speaker 1: This has been a rollercoaster ride.
Speaker 3: Okay, should we do a few more? Yes, let's do
Speaker 3: three more, three more more, Okay, thirty four our freaking age.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hell yeah, Number thirty four. What was your most
Speaker 4: enjoyable dream, your worst nightmare? I think I have my
Speaker 4: worst nightmare for sure, Okay, and it's really dark and
Speaker 4: it's really vulnerable that I'm sharing this with everybody, but
Speaker 4: I'm happy to. But I have I have a dream
Speaker 4: that I from childhood that I still think about, which
Speaker 4: is crazy. So maybe I'll go there.
Speaker 3: Go there, whatever you whatever you feel comfortable with. Is
Speaker 3: this the vulnerable one?
Speaker 4: No, I mean they're both kind of they're both like
Speaker 4: random and weird. They're dreams.
Speaker 1: I know my nightmare, but I'm still thinking on my dream.
Speaker 4: Okay, my dream. I had this when I was like seven,
Speaker 4: and for some reason it was I woke up in
Speaker 4: the most euphoric state and I still think about it
Speaker 4: and I don't know why, but it was basically like
Speaker 4: it was a dream that turned into a nightmare. So
Speaker 4: it that I was like on the phone before FaceTime.
Speaker 4: I was like I was on like a video call,
Speaker 4: so like as a seven year old, like with technology
Speaker 4: did not exist back then. So it blew my mind
Speaker 4: that I was talking to like a class full of
Speaker 4: girls my age, but of just a bunch of cute girls.
Speaker 4: For some reason, it thrilled me that I was talking
Speaker 4: to all these cute girls who were like, we love you. Bowen,
Speaker 4: my gay adult asked for I don't know what this
Speaker 4: means subconsciously, but like there was something about that dream
Speaker 4: where I was just in heaven talking to all these
Speaker 4: people who like adored me. Uh and it was like
Speaker 4: attention or something I don't know. But then the call
Speaker 4: ended with them being like, oh no, the bully is here.
Speaker 4: The bully is here. And then I was like, I'll
Speaker 4: protect you. And then somehow fast forward, I'm on a bed,
Speaker 4: jumping up and down the bed, fighting fist, fighting the
Speaker 4: bully while we're both jumping up and down on this bed,
Speaker 4: and then I woke up in the dream.
Speaker 1: But I still think about so random. But for you,
Speaker 1: when you had this seven seven, I.
Speaker 4: Still think about, like, oh my god, the thrill of
Speaker 4: just like talking to like cute people, like cute girls.
Speaker 1: You know who are those girls represented? The katies? Yes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, katies.
Speaker 4: Let's do a FaceTime and you guys tell me who
Speaker 4: the bully is and I will fight them.
Speaker 1: We need to find out who the bully is because
Speaker 1: to go. It was just literally go.
Speaker 4: It was like a big kid and I was like
Speaker 4: a small, scrawny guy. Okay, so that's my most enjoyable dream.
Speaker 1: Do you have one?
Speaker 3: So I am going to share this one that I've
Speaker 3: had not had had a dream when I was little,
Speaker 3: and this one always stuck with me because it really
Speaker 3: was scary and sort of surreal and twisted. I remember
Speaker 3: I was dreaming that I was with a bunch of
Speaker 3: my friends, like in some sort of cave, but we
Speaker 3: were all Muppet babies. So me and my friends were
Speaker 3: Muppet babies and we were like in this cave, like
Speaker 3: sort of aware of the fact that there was a monster.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: And then I remember like coming around a corner and
Speaker 3: then being in my childhood kitchen and my mother was
Speaker 3: making food in the kitchen and I was calling out
Speaker 3: to her, like, Mom, I think there's a monster. She
Speaker 3: couldn't hear me, Like I was like, and I was
Speaker 3: Muppet baby sized, so I was just a generic Muppet
Speaker 3: baby or I don't really remember, but like that's what
Speaker 3: we were.
Speaker 1: You were a cute little puppet.
Speaker 3: I was like a little animated Muppet baby. And so
Speaker 3: then I'm in my kitchen and I'm like, mom, there's
Speaker 3: a monster coming, and she can't hear me, and she's like,
Speaker 3: I'm putting something in the oven.
Speaker 1: The oven is involved.
Speaker 3: So then the monster come around the corner and it's it. Actually,
Speaker 3: he was like, you know that McDonald's character, which is
Speaker 3: like a bunch of strings. He's like, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like Grimace. I think no, Grimace
Speaker 3: is purple. The little the fry, the fry guys.
Speaker 4: God, what was there were little little pom poms, the
Speaker 4: mc dougal McDonald's fry guys, fry guys.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, literally a lot like this. That's the
Speaker 3: tall but tall and like orange and another Muppet in
Speaker 3: a way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he comes over to me, picks me up, puts
Speaker 3: me in the oven and closes the door. And I
Speaker 3: looked out the oven at my mother and was yelling mom, Mom, Mom,
Speaker 3: and she still couldn't hear me. And I remember, like,
Speaker 3: just the the idea that I wasn't heard when I
Speaker 3: was screaming for help from this monster and then I
Speaker 3: was too small to get anyone's attention like that stayed
Speaker 3: with me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And it's one of the very few dreams from my
Speaker 3: childhood that I remember because it really like shook me.
Speaker 3: That's a nightmare. That's your worst nightmare. Yeah, And then
Speaker 3: a dream. I don't know anyone where I sec I
Speaker 3: love any of my dreams. And if you know, you
Speaker 3: know when you have like a full blown like narrative
Speaker 3: in it, Like sometimes I'll feel like I woke up
Speaker 3: from a dream and I feel like I started Lord
Speaker 3: of the Rings, like when you whenever you have a
Speaker 3: dream that's.
Speaker 4: Like an RPG, bitch, you can play them in real life.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should. I don't think it dream to me.
Speaker 4: Oh I think you would like some girl, girl. My
Speaker 4: nightmare is really bad. Wait, you don't want to It
Speaker 4: involves me like killing someone.
Speaker 3: I like, this is the death episode in a way.
Speaker 3: Who does your dream this?
Speaker 4: I was at a grocery store and then like I
Speaker 4: just I didn't shop, I didn't steal anything, but I
Speaker 4: was like leaving the grocery store pushing my cart, and
Speaker 4: then this woman.
Speaker 3: Chases after me.
Speaker 4: She's like, you took you, you stole this, and I
Speaker 4: was like no, I didn't, and she was like she
Speaker 4: was about to kill me. And then I like picked
Speaker 4: up my cart and swung it and just kept hitting
Speaker 4: her with my cart.
Speaker 3: It's so dark.
Speaker 1: Was my worst nightmare?
Speaker 4: Is like my own action and my the violence that
Speaker 4: I was capable of in them very coming. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what's disturbing to me. But meanwhile, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 4: answering number eleven saying yeah, I would, I would do it,
Speaker 4: but like there's something about the power of murder, of
Speaker 4: killing someone that like what breaks breaks your soul.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean that that is a horrible feeling
Speaker 3: to have to sit with. I'm sorry that's your worst nightmare.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I bet it's such an easy answer. I was like,
Speaker 4: that is the most disturbed I've ever felt.
Speaker 3: I need to start writing down my dreams more. I
Speaker 3: think that would be interesting, like taking a dream journal.
Speaker 1: Do you ever? Have you ever done it?
Speaker 4: The times that I have the wherewithal to like grab
Speaker 4: my phone or whatever and type type the dream in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I got so inspired by Kirsten Dunst, like her you
Speaker 4: using her dreams as like acting sort of like guidelines.
Speaker 4: I try that for a thing, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It really helped for what wedding banquet?
Speaker 4: No, for for uh, I forget something.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll have to see in your upcoming performances.
Speaker 3: Which one feels the most dream inspired, subconsciously informed. Who?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's get another number.
Speaker 4: I feel really sort of naked in a good way,
Speaker 4: Like I feel like everyone's really getting to know me to.
Speaker 1: The last one.
Speaker 4: Oh, this is very interesting. Let's hear it, number two
Speaker 4: hundred and seventeen. If you were guaranteed honest responses to
Speaker 4: any three questions, who would you question and what would
Speaker 4: you ask? I guess I okay, let's get it.
Speaker 3: No, honestly, like, I know who I would ask, and
Speaker 3: I think what the three questions were, but and I
Speaker 3: think I have asked.
Speaker 1: Them, but I just don't know if they were honest answers.
Speaker 4: The thing is like, this is a deep one, and
Speaker 4: this is going to take me a while to answer to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this one's tough. There's an interesting reason
Speaker 3: why this one's last. It's an expansive question. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: really kind of I don't know if it's almost with
Speaker 3: that they ate with that they really they they definitely hmmm.
Speaker 4: Okay, Becka saying number one O three, number one O three,
Speaker 4: does the fact that you have never done something before
Speaker 4: increase or decrease, it's appeal to you.
Speaker 3: Oh, decrease. I think decrease comes at this point. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: at this point in my life. This is this goes
Speaker 3: back to the comfort of it all. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: have felt thrills, yeah, of all kinds. I'm good with something,
Speaker 3: even I'm good with boring. I was actually just thinking
Speaker 3: the other day, like about I don't think my sister's
Speaker 3: having kids. I'm not having kids. Probably, like I was
Speaker 3: thinking about my parents again, being like, oh, they won't
Speaker 3: get to be grandparents. And then I thought to myself, well,
Speaker 3: not everyone gets to have every experience and that is okay.
Speaker 3: And also I don't know. I also related to like skiing.
Speaker 3: It's like maybe there's a reason I haven't done yet
Speaker 3: because my legs to happen half. I don't know, it's
Speaker 3: just I think that that's like this is like this
Speaker 3: question is scarcely in mindset, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not self conscious about experiences I have plenty.
Speaker 4: I'm all about an interpersonal thrill, like I don't have
Speaker 4: to have it be this like activity, but I love activity.
Speaker 4: I just don't know if that's like the gradient that
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about necessarily.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean I think like I've done things to do
Speaker 3: them already.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there are things that I've done that
Speaker 4: I want to explore further because as I've already done them,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I liked that. Like I want to
Speaker 4: go like I want to hike more intentionally and intensely.
Speaker 4: I want to like learn new languages. I want to
Speaker 4: like do I just I don't know. I want to
Speaker 4: like do stuff that I already know that I enjoy
Speaker 4: and that there's a wide.
Speaker 3: Expansive horizon for more to come, you.
Speaker 1: Know, agree, Agree, Okay, new question, new question. Let's do
Speaker 1: one more, one more, and then we'll do out of things.
Speaker 1: Bene twenty.
Speaker 3: I'm that's my lucky number. This is gonna be a
Speaker 3: great question going to end on.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, interesting number twenty two.
Speaker 1: If you could.
Speaker 4: Use this is kind of similar to the first. All right,
Speaker 4: if you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone.
Speaker 1: You chose, would you? My god?
Speaker 4: See, yeah, this is very similar to this, very similar.
Speaker 4: They got lazy, They got lazy. It's not Boody killing someone.
Speaker 4: Becka saying she might do that.
Speaker 3: No, because you know what like putting someone in pain.
Speaker 3: This is even worse than the other one because the
Speaker 3: other one is like you'll think of someone and they'll
Speaker 3: die of a peaceful death, natural causes. This is like
Speaker 3: wanting to cause someone pain. It makes me even more uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this book is so cursed.
Speaker 3: The look of question the person book who wrote this
Speaker 3: Gregory Styles.
Speaker 4: Gregory Stock says, if you could choose, if you could
Speaker 4: use the voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would
Speaker 4: you Okay, so you're your answer is no, I honor that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt people. I really don't.
Speaker 3: I and I like, I know, I don't have that
Speaker 3: kind of ill will.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I don't want anyone to be in any pain.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 3: I really don't like that's I don't know, like when
Speaker 3: people are like are people born good or evil?
Speaker 1: I'm like good. Hmm. Interesting, what if it was No,
Speaker 1: I don't want her in pain.
Speaker 3: I don't want her to be in really, no, you're
Speaker 3: not gonna want this in the episode, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: We'll take it out.
Speaker 3: Well, Okay, Becca's asking what if it was a bad
Speaker 3: migraine once a month? I don't want people to feel
Speaker 3: nauseous and in pain because of me.
Speaker 1: They're gonna feel pain no matter what life is suffering.
Speaker 1: Have you seen mad but that I have.
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that you should be the person to
Speaker 3: explicitly contribute to that physical suffering. You guys are scaring
Speaker 3: me with your devil's advocacy.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4: I've not been a devil's advocate. I have been mostly
Speaker 4: aligned with you, except for the first and the last
Speaker 4: question that you would kill and cause I know, actually, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: actually we are aligned on the first question, like it's
Speaker 4: it's not worth the not worth it, the guilt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would have guilt about giving someone a migraine.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, my graines are awful. They are awful.
Speaker 3: They are debilitating. I knew a waitress named Crystal. She
Speaker 3: had to leave work.
Speaker 1: And her dad had told her, you have to go
Speaker 1: to work.
Speaker 3: She had to leave work, and she had to go
Speaker 3: home and face her father, who, no doubt was like,
Speaker 3: if your grandfather was around, he'd be so disappointed in you.
Speaker 3: While she clutches her temple, nauseous in pain for a migraine, debilitated,
Speaker 3: unable to see out of one eye. I wouldn't wish
Speaker 3: a migraine on my worst enemy. I swear and trust
Speaker 3: and believe.
Speaker 8: A lot.
Speaker 3: One of these questions about causing someone pain On my
Speaker 3: worst day, maybe I get a little edgy in terms
Speaker 3: of this question. But on today, No, it is December.
Speaker 3: I'm the Prince of Christmas.
Speaker 1: I can't be giving people migraines. No, you gotta give
Speaker 1: gifts you have, you have a title to uphold. That
Speaker 1: would be bad for business. Bo Oh, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: stan Cole a migraine.
Speaker 4: I feel like people have made up their minds about
Speaker 4: me at this point. I'm like, well I can, I
Speaker 4: can kind of do whatever I want. This is what
Speaker 4: makes you Alphabet and me Glinda.
Speaker 1: You realize this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, although.
Speaker 4: I would say Glinda would align herself with power, which
Speaker 4: is I guess neither of us are doing that.
Speaker 3: It would be no trust me like Glinda would never
Speaker 3: give someone a migraine.
Speaker 4: Alphabe, Alphaba wouldn't give someone a migrone on purpose? What
Speaker 4: are you trying to say? Yes she would, No, she wouldn't.
Speaker 4: The Wizard of Oz, No, no she wouldn't, And no,
Speaker 4: let me quote her. Her fought nobody in all of
Speaker 4: our No wizard that there is or was, is ever
Speaker 4: gonna bring me down. That's protective, bro. She's not saying
Speaker 4: fuck the Wizard. She said to protect he would she
Speaker 4: would like press, like give him a migraine. You forget that?
Speaker 1: Can I say something?
Speaker 3: There is so much revisionist history here, and the Wicked
Speaker 3: film not only glorifies animal abuse, but also erases the
Speaker 3: fact that Alphaba, if she loved Fierro so much, why
Speaker 3: does she set him on fire? In the Wizard of
Speaker 3: Oz movie, there's a huge plot hole, huge plot timelines
Speaker 3: are different. It's silver slippers not ruby. It's like, come on,
Speaker 3: come on, we're not doing this. No, no, no, In the
Speaker 3: Wizard of Watch the Wizard of Oz again. I've seen it,
Speaker 3: and I know used to excuse me, You've spoken a lot,
Speaker 3: and you've got to speak in many lines in the
Speaker 3: film Wicked, but I didn't get my opportunity. So I
Speaker 3: want to enter the Wicked universe and say, there's some
Speaker 3: wrong here, there's something really wrong here.
Speaker 4: You're anti Wicked because you think it's about a glorifies.
Speaker 3: Animal glorifies animal abuse, and and I believe it's revisionist
Speaker 3: about Alphaba's physical abuse.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've had it. We've done the Wicked press Star. Okay,
Speaker 1: now here's.
Speaker 3: My real feelings. I feel it's not pet Wicked, it's
Speaker 3: not Peter. It's like how Crash thought it was anti racist,
Speaker 3: and it was racist, and it was racist.
Speaker 1: Wicked thinks it's saving the animals.
Speaker 3: Last I checked, I'm watching this movie and a monkey
Speaker 3: was in agony.
Speaker 1: What they had to do to that monkey on set?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was That was not a good day. That
Speaker 4: little that gorgeous little deer. That's our that's our, Tandy Newton.
Speaker 1: Crash, No, you're this man deep. The movie fucking sucks. God.
Speaker 3: It's a crazy ass movie, one of the craziest movies
Speaker 3: ever in American history, and it won Best Picture at
Speaker 3: the Academy Awards.
Speaker 1: Sorry aang Lee, Sorry dang Sorry, beautiful Art, Sorry, beautiful Heath.
Speaker 1: We were out here swimming in the deep. Now let's
Speaker 1: move on to I don't think so honey. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I have a good one.
Speaker 4: Actually, okay, this is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so honey. Well,
Speaker 4: first of all, I don't think Sony is our one
Speaker 4: minute segment where we take one minute to rarely get
Speaker 4: something in culture. Matt Rodgers has something. This is Matt Rodgers.
Speaker 4: I don't think so many as time starts now.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, honey. If you're gonna send a
Speaker 3: sexy DM and it's fisting, you have to say that beforehand.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I am so on board with you.
Speaker 3: With people out there, they want to send me their
Speaker 3: sexy dms, like you want to send me a dick
Speaker 3: pic on DM, Like, truly, my dms are open. You
Speaker 3: want to send the little sneaky ass you want to
Speaker 3: send whatever it is. If you're empowered to send me
Speaker 3: this type of material, I support you, I embrace you.
Speaker 1: I do think so, honey. I don't, however, think so honey.
Speaker 3: If you're going to send and this is not a
Speaker 3: king shame, I swear to God everyone do whatever it
Speaker 3: is you're gonna do consensually with your.
Speaker 1: Partner or partners, I don't care.
Speaker 3: But if I open my DM and like it is
Speaker 3: something that is going to sexually shock, disturb and turn
Speaker 3: me off, I have to know beforehand that second feels
Speaker 3: like animal abuse. When I'm an animal, a human is
Speaker 3: an animal, and you send me just straight up fisting
Speaker 3: out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, I feel animally abused.
Speaker 4: That's one minute. And there's something very nuanced here, which
Speaker 4: is this is not a king shaming moment.
Speaker 3: It is no, it is a of there's no sort
Speaker 3: of like gut check either way about it. You have
Speaker 3: to ask someone if they're okay with certain things, period.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing, Like the person that sent me this,
Speaker 3: we have had a like an exchange nudes relationship in
Speaker 3: the past, but this was a jump forward to the
Speaker 3: point where it was like, if your intentles to test
Speaker 3: me and see what my limits are, truly, just ask.
Speaker 3: I will tell you, like very is that positive forward person.
Speaker 3: When that is on the table, I will talk about it.
Speaker 1: Let's get it.
Speaker 3: That's literally communication and whoa gay guys, slow it down.
Speaker 1: When this is the deal, I mean, I'm I'm shook
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: There's some good ones out there, gay guys.
Speaker 1: Oh, some of my favorite people. Absolutely, some of my
Speaker 1: favorite people.
Speaker 3: And when they get one, I mean, listen, it's a spectrum. Ye,
Speaker 3: gay guy is a spectrum. It's actually real Coachure number thirty.
Speaker 3: Gay guy is a spectrum. But I have to say,
Speaker 3: and I kind of now my perspective on this one.
Speaker 3: Gig guy has to change a little bit because I
Speaker 3: feel I was like animally abused through the phone. It's
Speaker 3: just the worst medium for animals.
Speaker 1: Be like, hey, are you into this that the other?
Speaker 3: Then we can actually get into it so that when
Speaker 3: you send me this, I'm not on lost coach being like,
Speaker 3: I don't think so, honey your actions. Hey, I have
Speaker 3: a video of me fisting getting fisted.
Speaker 1: Is it okay? If I send this, you can say.
Speaker 3: No, I'll be I would be like, I'm gonna respectfully decline.
Speaker 3: I politely decline.
Speaker 4: And then you would have still maintained that nude sharing relationship, friendship, yeah,
Speaker 4: something else.
Speaker 3: Also, or I go yes, and then I can't complain
Speaker 3: what I see, you know what I mean. But like,
Speaker 3: give me the opportunity to have a say in my experience,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, because you can't see what
Speaker 3: it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: When it's one of those dms that goes away, you
Speaker 1: know that is is okay?
Speaker 3: Bo I survive? Yeah, I would give that person a migraine.
Speaker 3: Yeah you ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like this is gonna be a rehash of
Speaker 4: something that I've surely talked about before. But it's it's
Speaker 4: there's there's a new sort of resonance to it.
Speaker 3: For some reason, it'll be fresh, new, brand new, different
Speaker 3: and more. I'm sure, I'm sure pertinent.
Speaker 1: Here we go. This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think
Speaker 1: so many as time starts now.
Speaker 4: I don't think so, honey, TikTok, or at least my
Speaker 4: experience of it, because it's not even the algorithm anymore.
Speaker 1: It's for me.
Speaker 4: My experience of TikTok is I log on and twenty off.
Speaker 4: My notifications are of someone who thinks they're being cute,
Speaker 4: tagging me saying, oh my god, this person looks just
Speaker 4: like bow and Yang. It's an Asian person. It's a
Speaker 4: little Asian baby dancing around and like a little elephant costume.
Speaker 4: Trust me, I've seen it. You guys can stop tagging
Speaker 4: me in that no, thank you. I it makes me
Speaker 4: not want to use the platform, which I guess is
Speaker 4: there not mine. It's just like I'm not missing out
Speaker 4: on too much. I'm happy to get the detritis on
Speaker 4: reels weeks later. But I'm saying, like, I guess that's
Speaker 4: just not gonna go away. I guess I have to
Speaker 4: accept this as part of my life. But like, even
Speaker 4: if I even still get Asian people who make the
Speaker 4: Joelkim booster joke switch a rude joke, and I'm like, y'all,
Speaker 4: what what's with that? I don't know, Like it's just
Speaker 4: a weird thing, and I hate the Internet because of it.
Speaker 4: I think this is a great reason to leave soch.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Last week I was in therapy and I was talking
Speaker 3: about how I for the first not the first time
Speaker 3: in a while, but lately I've been feeling really good
Speaker 3: and the only times I feel bad are when I
Speaker 3: logged on and see what people I have to say.
Speaker 3: And so I would say, for you, it's probably not
Speaker 3: going to change. It's not going to change because if
Speaker 3: they haven't heard you at this point to or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's like, Also, there's like unlimited people out there that
Speaker 3: can all like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like these people who like don't see a lot of
Speaker 4: Asian people in their everyday lives, I'm top of mind
Speaker 4: to them, and so they see an Asian person on
Speaker 4: the Internet, they go, oh my god, that's bowen ying.
Speaker 4: Bowen Ying should do a sketch a skit on SNL
Speaker 4: where he plays this little baby who's dancing.
Speaker 3: I'm like, listen to yourself, do you think that could happen?
Speaker 3: Do you think I'm over here thinking I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they think something about. And I listen,
Speaker 3: what a huge honor to be in this movie. That
Speaker 3: is you know, I'm being appreciated by so many people.
Speaker 3: I am receiving an uptick of the most lebottomized people
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 4: You didn't even think we're out there in this world.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I. I love everybody. And this is not
Speaker 4: related to me wanting to voodoo doll potentially kill anybody.
Speaker 1: If I had the power.
Speaker 3: But I am over here thinking, wow, like human beings, man,
Speaker 3: our brains are small. We are a stupid species. We
Speaker 3: are dumb, myself included. I think that also, people that
Speaker 3: act that way online are like they if they saw
Speaker 3: you in person, they would obviously never say those things,
Speaker 3: which makes me feel like that's not even a reflection
Speaker 3: of an actual human being. That's a reflection of like
Speaker 3: a human being's based thing. Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like these people online quote unquote people online, Like
Speaker 3: if you think of them as not people, but as
Speaker 3: like online opportunities for people, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because like you're not actually being online, you're talking to
Speaker 3: an avatar and an attitude that is put on and constructed.
Speaker 3: So it's just like that makes you want to take
Speaker 3: the whole thing less seriously to begin with, because it's
Speaker 3: like these these aren't people online, even if they are
Speaker 3: operated by a human being. This is not a reflection
Speaker 3: of reality.
Speaker 4: Is the way you've thwarted extension of like the way
Speaker 4: their minds work, which is never gonna agree with me.
Speaker 4: I can't control what they think. I'm not out here
Speaker 4: saying like I'm out think so honey, I'm not saying
Speaker 4: like you better not do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they they they can't see you as
Speaker 3: a person either because they have their own thing in
Speaker 3: their own head. Yeah, I mean, social media is bad.
Speaker 3: Internet is bad, breaking news.
Speaker 4: God bless Australia. That little social media ban?
Speaker 1: Are they doing? That? Love?
Speaker 4: Is that under anyone under sixteen? They don't know how
Speaker 4: they're gonna People are like, how are they gonna enforce this?
Speaker 4: But I'm just glad it's out there. I'm glad of
Speaker 4: the intention.
Speaker 3: I knew I knew the intention was there, I wasn't
Speaker 3: sure if it was actually being enacted, which they get
Speaker 3: a couple shootings, they go, no more guns.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm like, God, imagine that, Imagine that.
Speaker 1: Imagine an episode that took you to highs and lows
Speaker 1: like this one. Wow.
Speaker 3: Lost Coach really is a podcast that continues to grow
Speaker 3: and inspire.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 4: Thank you to Gregory stock PhD in what I don't
Speaker 4: know in being a mess and being a messy.
Speaker 3: Ho messy ho vibes. But also got to give him
Speaker 3: thought provoking. Gotta give him thought provoking. I mean, this
Speaker 3: man was writing the Book of Questions before we had
Speaker 3: these little fall in love. We're not really strangers girls
Speaker 3: stepped onto the world stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe we'll do another episode of this. Maybe, Hey,
Speaker 3: look out for another episode the Book of Questions too,
Speaker 3: like Wicked too.
Speaker 1: Or Book of Shadows Blue which.
Speaker 3: And I want to say something, I take back everything
Speaker 3: I said about Wicked. Those animals were cgi. I know,
Speaker 3: they just looked incredibly real. That's just, you know, a
Speaker 3: testament to the power of filmmaking and what we called
Speaker 3: movie magic.
Speaker 4: And can I say I could have never convinced you
Speaker 4: that they were not real. You had to arrive at
Speaker 4: that yourself.
Speaker 1: Something has changed within me, something is.
