Speaker 1: into this, which was the troll Ball, and I have
Speaker 1: to give credit words to please. That was Anna Dresden's
Speaker 1: brainchild and sin child. But Matt was very deliberate in
Speaker 1: the items that made it to the Bowl because they
Speaker 1: were controversial, sort of universally loved things, right, And it
Speaker 1: will be henceforth known as the troll ball because you're
Speaker 1: trolling because once you get pulled out one of these

Speaker 1: when I played, I played video games, and tonight I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go see The Power Rangers. Yes, good for You've
Speaker 1: mixed reviews, really have you? Yeah, I've heard from people
Speaker 1: who are awakened alive that it's terrible, and then I've
Speaker 1: heard from other people who just love The Power Rangers
Speaker 1: and it's a great movie. Honestly, I just I want
Speaker 1: to walk in there and I want to be as
Speaker 1: surprised as I was when we saw Mad Max. I
Speaker 1: wanted to like blow me away, and it won't. But
Speaker 1: but but I'm going in with that kind of positivity.
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, Yeah, what a special experience for you
Speaker 1: to experience Mad Max without any context, any prior knowledge. Well,
Speaker 1: I have to say this. I'm very excited about Becky
Speaker 1: g Yeah, and singer who's making her acting debut. That's
Speaker 1: not true. She was an Empire for a bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's now a Power Ranger. So that's she's playing. Um
Speaker 1: Kimmy Kwan is that the name? She's the Asian one.
Speaker 1: She's playing the Asian one's playing the Asian one. But
Speaker 1: she's I mean, I think the character is still it
Speaker 1: is still ethnically ambiguo. It's it's it's you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't hate the choice. I'm okay, she the Yellow Ranger.
Speaker 1: She's the Yellow Ranger, and they kept the cannon the
Speaker 1: canonical name and she's I guess it's fun whatever. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Power Rangers to Honey the bar is
Speaker 1: low because a lot of the reviews are saying, you
Speaker 1: know why, it doesn't suck, so that makes it good. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well that Repulsa sucking Elizabeth Bank, which makes me laugh.
Speaker 1: And I heard a theory today, Wow, that the reason
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is true, so it's
Speaker 1: genuinely not a spoiler. If it ends up being true,
Speaker 1: I guess it is a spoiler spoiler alert, I guess.
Speaker 1: But somebody through a through a theory today that read
Speaker 1: a Repulsa is all green because she was the original
Speaker 1: Green Ranger, like and that's like something they reveal in
Speaker 1: the movie is that she's actually read a Repulsa is
Speaker 1: actually like a jaded, like kind of Darth Vader esque
Speaker 1: old who turned on them, you know what, And this
Speaker 1: is so fucking such a such a stupid dredge. But
Speaker 1: I think that reminds me of Carmen san Diego when
Speaker 1: it's revealed that Carmen used to be an ACNE agent. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just saw you do an impression of Carmen. I
Speaker 1: have a thing I love doing, like black Carmen san Diego.
Speaker 1: She's a little hood. It's like nobody. You don't want
Speaker 1: to find her because this back back. You did that
Speaker 1: character on Brian Foster's show. Yeah. Right, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's Carmen Sandigo and Black Carmen. I mean we have
Speaker 1: to defferent change guys. Let's clink her glasses. We're drinking something.
Speaker 1: Thank your producer Joe for providing us this cabb her
Speaker 1: name Push. My push is wet for this. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little I'm getting a few notes of lemon,
Speaker 1: getting a dried berry. I'm getting a dryberry. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means. There's cork in mine. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: There's no excuse me. There's quirk in my wine. Can
Speaker 1: I get a new one? That's happened to me so
Speaker 1: many times at work, and one time I literally told
Speaker 1: the woman. She's like, there's a little quirk in this,
Speaker 1: And I literally said back doesn't matter and she was like,
Speaker 1: um yeah, And I was like, okay, did you get
Speaker 1: but I should have gotten fired right down? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: did you get like slapped in the face earlier that day?
Speaker 1: Like what? No? I just was like, I was kind
Speaker 1: of funny about it. I was just I was just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter. And she was like, I
Speaker 1: mean it could have been a joke. She's like it does.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, cool, yeah, but in my heart,
Speaker 1: I was like, doesn't that a bitch? You're like, there's
Speaker 1: now a hork in your wine right there. And here's
Speaker 1: the question we almost answer this, would you would you
Speaker 1: bring it up to the waiter or waitress or server
Speaker 1: if if something, if there was a cork. See, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you guys behave in a restaurant, but
Speaker 1: for me, I'm very like, if I can deal with it,
Speaker 1: I don't say anything. But that's me sometimes and then
Speaker 1: other times I'm like, you know what, I fucking do
Speaker 1: this for people all the time because it's my job.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask for more blue cheese. Yeah you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, and you are there to
Speaker 1: get the experience dining, So it can go either way
Speaker 1: with me. Like sometimes I'm like, leave him alone. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do it, so don't make them do it.
Speaker 1: Like today we went to brunch and I was very
Speaker 1: apologetic for ask them to make me a bloody mary.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm sorry, I just really want one. No,
Speaker 1: you know I would, I would ask. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: I would try to put in a way and I
Speaker 1: bet a lot of servers hate this, but be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've been doing this. I work x y Z, I
Speaker 1: work over here. I do this all the time. Would
Speaker 1: you mind if so? It's like a server to server
Speaker 1: trying to get equal playing field. It's a fun little
Speaker 1: about you. You know, what do you send things back?
Speaker 1: Do you work in the service industry? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't send I've never sent something back. But for wine,
Speaker 1: if it was above like if it was above, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, fifty bucks for a bottle, I would
Speaker 1: be like, oh wow, See that's that's another thing. Is
Speaker 1: I just I just wouldn't pay that much. See that's
Speaker 1: the thing is. I would always feel like it's a
Speaker 1: bottle of one. Anyway, said what am I complaining, but
Speaker 1: if it's a sixty dollar bottle of one, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to enjoy. Right, Okay, there we go. So there
Speaker 1: are some parameters and conditions here. It's very conditional. Um.
Speaker 1: So it's very conditional. You know. Three, it's very very conditional.
Speaker 1: Culture is conditional. Um. That's not bad. That's not bad. Um.
Speaker 1: So Monique, here we go. And it's fitting that we've
Speaker 1: been talking about like the the youth culture that has
Speaker 1: power rangers. Because now it's time to pose the question
Speaker 1: that we post all of our guests, right bo, So
Speaker 1: it's time to ask Monique Moses, what is the culture
Speaker 1: that really you saw and you absorbed when you were
Speaker 1: younger that made me, that made you say cultures? For me,
Speaker 1: I would like to be a part of culture. Like
Speaker 1: what what caused Monique to to step in a cultural direction?
Speaker 1: I lived in a I lived in a suburb outside
Speaker 1: of a small town, small city, and there was no
Speaker 1: like cool dance classes. So culture for me that made
Speaker 1: me want to be a part of like the world
Speaker 1: was Michael Jackson and Janna Jackson music. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: learned how to dance to them because there was no
Speaker 1: like I'm from. I'll tell you. I'm from London, Ontario, Canada.
Speaker 1: For the suburb outside of that and like behind the
Speaker 1: defence of where I grew up was just rural, like
Speaker 1: farms and Nazis. So it's like hill people. It's hill people,
Speaker 1: and then suburb and then like Huxtable suburb and then
Speaker 1: the city. So nowhere to take great dance classes. So
Speaker 1: I wanted to become part of culture. I loved it
Speaker 1: watching MTV and much music and so much music Canada.
Speaker 1: So were you like watching MTV from a very early age? Well,
Speaker 1: meant you know, I mean you can do? You americanized
Speaker 1: it so much music is like the equivalent in Canada. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: So were you watching that at an early age? Yea yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yeah. My parents were like, no, you can't watch that.
Speaker 1: Instead watch this more adult contemporary one. So I watched
Speaker 1: the one, which which is way different than it is now,
Speaker 1: which is now like a reality a lot of reality TV,
Speaker 1: like people throwing drinks in each other's faces. Back then,
Speaker 1: it was like every other video was like Jewel and
Speaker 1: shadow Crow and it was like the fair kind of
Speaker 1: the bubble. The Bubble Show pop up video was on
Speaker 1: was on VH one. Yeah, I think that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, it was, and that was they all did
Speaker 1: it to like, you know, adult contemporary like music. So
Speaker 1: like Annie Lennox, I knew who she was when I
Speaker 1: was But yeah, the the the Michael Jackson and Janet
Speaker 1: Jackson thing. I remember first place seeing it and was
Speaker 1: like blown away, like the Thriller music video, was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is like in the next level. Um, curious geography question.
Speaker 1: What was the suburb called outside of London? It's called
Speaker 1: Kilworth got it? First first place my family moved to
Speaker 1: in Canada was Kingston where Kingston was my first home
Speaker 1: that I vaguely remember, and then we moved to Quebec. Guys,
Speaker 1: I'm going to start a podcast my sound because I
Speaker 1: think people's upbringings are so interesting. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: what we ask so thank you for this idea. No,
Speaker 1: I mean like this is it? This idea it's going
Speaker 1: to that's actually yeah, the last culture adjacent podcast Where
Speaker 1: are you from? Um? But no, that's always so interesting
Speaker 1: as we asked the question, and then some people do
Speaker 1: they describe their upbringings and some people just like have
Speaker 1: one very specific movie or musical artists. So you've did
Speaker 1: a fusion there were Miss Janet Jackson and Mr Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson in the suburbs. And yeah, because you were a dancer,
Speaker 1: but you I wasn't at that point. I mean, I
Speaker 1: wanted there's something in me that wanted to dance and perform,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know how. So I would just like
Speaker 1: watch music videos and learn the dances. Um. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then from there on I was a dancer. But then
Speaker 1: I stopped about five years ago. I see, I'm going
Speaker 1: to focus on Canada. Okay, did you grow up with
Speaker 1: white TV? Hell? Oh my god? Why TV was like
Speaker 1: the Nickelodeon? Uh Florida? How when did you? How? When?
Speaker 1: How long were you in Caounada? I moved? Was there
Speaker 1: a long time? I moved to Colorado four months after Columbine.
Speaker 1: I've I think I've mentioned that on the show before,
Speaker 1: moved to move to Colorado format like right after Columbine
Speaker 1: and Johnny Ramsey, which took place in Boulder. And I
Speaker 1: just assumed, I just assumed assumed people in Colorado specifically
Speaker 1: just we're murdered. Yeah, Um, but one's also from Aurora
Speaker 1: and from Aurora, so or Colorado where the Dark Knight,
Speaker 1: Dark Knight Rise of shooting was holy on Colorado shooting
Speaker 1: Capital of America. Baby, Um no, no, no, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to bring it to me, but that's
Speaker 1: all that happened to um. And yeah it sucks that
Speaker 1: that's like the legacy. But anyway, um, no, White TV
Speaker 1: like we would. I didn't grow up with cable in
Speaker 1: Canada or the US that like that like parleyed Itself there,
Speaker 1: cultural blind Spot, Cultural blind Spot, honey. So white TV
Speaker 1: was like this precious time to like watch cable like programming.
Speaker 1: It was meant for kids that was like mindless and
Speaker 1: stupid and like they had good like they had like
Speaker 1: the Nickelodeon style, like yeah, yeah, you can't do that
Speaker 1: on television. That was a show that like what's your face? Um,
Speaker 1: Atlanta's More sat was on when she was like a kid,
Speaker 1: and it's a legacy show. It's kind of the way
Speaker 1: that you know all that was a legacy show for Nickelodeon.
Speaker 1: And and what about Zoom soon we got that? Yeah

Speaker 1: Rickmranus fan. I mean, weren't we look it up? Look
Speaker 1: at some one airplane mode. Yeah, doesn't matter. Here's the thing,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. What it was was that it was
Speaker 1: a fun show. Um. It took place in a weird
Speaker 1: house and that called the Maniac Matsion and it was
Speaker 1: like all kinds of ship was going down and it
Speaker 1: was on y TV. And that's all I wanted to say,
Speaker 1: come on, bring it back. Watch But did you at
Speaker 1: least watch t G I f yo. Yeah, okay, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Let me tell you about a Canadian TV
Speaker 1: of it is Canadian, seventy percent of it is American.
Speaker 1: She did have cable, so I did watch MTV a bit,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, I had like TBS and all that
Speaker 1: she had mostly everything had mostly everything. But you know
Speaker 1: what you guys had that I wanted was Canadian idol.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, American idol isn't enough
Speaker 1: for me. I need a Canadian What was? What was
Speaker 1: what was compelling about? I feel like it? Did it
Speaker 1: produce stars? Well? Car Ra Jepson was on it, but
Speaker 1: I don't think she came in four on the show, right,
Speaker 1: she didn't do very well, but like she became a star.
Speaker 1: It was like it was almost like a training ground
Speaker 1: to be a pop star for America. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. Yeah, And I actually don't remember
Speaker 1: anyone that won the show, but I do remember listening
Speaker 1: to a lot of the performances and being like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would have I would have absorbed it.
Speaker 1: I was the kid that was watching American Idol and
Speaker 1: like making rankings in a notebook that I had like
Speaker 1: weeks a week, Like I was like essentially blogging for
Speaker 1: myself at the time. Like it was like I would
Speaker 1: be like, you know, this week, you know, Ryan Starr
Speaker 1: didn't have as strong performance, so she did last week,
Speaker 1: so she's going to move down to the to the
Speaker 1: eight spot, and Kelly Clarkson ever climbing to the five spot.
Speaker 1: They made the show for you. I think that they
Speaker 1: really did. It was for little gay twelve year olds. Um,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's so funny. I the closest I
Speaker 1: ever got to that kind of fanaticism was my sister
Speaker 1: and I put together a playlist on Windows media Player
Speaker 1: of all of Clay Aiken's performances. Okay, listen to them,
Speaker 1: and we were like, this is wow. Clak and singing
Speaker 1: build Me a Buttercup is the best thing he was
Speaker 1: like he did, Oh my god, and he did. Um.
Speaker 1: It was the first time I ever heard uh, don't
Speaker 1: let the Sun Go Down? And he, I mean, he
Speaker 1: nailed it. American idol. Like I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: it truly, but like for for a little baby gay
Speaker 1: that like loved music, like it introduced me to so
Speaker 1: much music. Like I knew what motown was because of
Speaker 1: a something Gladys Night themed night and season two and
Speaker 1: I was like, who's Gladest Night and the Gladdest Night
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, like, and like that's kind of
Speaker 1: cool that like thirteen year olds that were obsessed with
Speaker 1: the show now have a vocabulary or some vocabulary like
Speaker 1: Gladys Night music. That's pretty awesome. And I remember I
Speaker 1: went into my my like ninth grade art teacher. She
Speaker 1: was a super cool lady, Miss nab Block, and she
Speaker 1: she came in one day and she was like, all right,
Speaker 1: just so you all know, every day we listen to
Speaker 1: good music, we don't listen to crap. And here's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play every day for the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: We're going to change and right this and she because
Speaker 1: she was like, when we're gonna listen while we draw.
Speaker 1: Now this is Aretha Franklin's time, and so we listened
Speaker 1: to this all the good Aretha Franklin stuffs for like
Speaker 1: two weeks and so I know, like now that ship
Speaker 1: is my jam. I heard Do Right Woman, Do Right
Speaker 1: Man come on the other day and I was like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: this stuff like and like a James she was obsessed
Speaker 1: with it was it was kind of and that was
Speaker 1: like I could tell her, like, you know, I know
Speaker 1: this song because of an American idol, and I felt
Speaker 1: like I was listening to music, real music that wasn't
Speaker 1: like the Backstreet Boys. The only thing I knew from
Speaker 1: American idols that I did watch from Justin to Kelly
Speaker 1: or whatever. Come on. I think I did watch the
Speaker 1: first season, but I just don't remember being as invested
Speaker 1: in it is possibly you would know I was so
Speaker 1: all at that point. No, I was in Canada. When
Speaker 1: did I moved here in two thousand and nine? Wow,
Speaker 1: I was a grown ass woman when I moved here.
Speaker 1: So why the decision to move? Just because I wanted
Speaker 1: to pursue everything. My current fiance I had a job opportunity,
Speaker 1: so he was going to move anyways, and at that time,
Speaker 1: we had already been together for five years, so I
Speaker 1: was like, hell, yeah, I'm moving with you. But I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be an illegal, so I went to school.
Speaker 1: But then you can't work, so it was kind of
Speaker 1: a weird situation like rock and hard place place, UM
Speaker 1: been here ever since I'm doing Am I doing the
Speaker 1: mouth correctly? You've been with your boot fourteen years? Twelve years? Twelve? Lord?
Speaker 1: What is the secret? Wait? He just kind of first
Speaker 1: answer that is just like Dick's in your mouth seven
Speaker 1: he doesn't go to work or just Dick my man constant.
Speaker 1: The secret is having a man child that won't ask
Speaker 1: you who to marry you ten of those years and
Speaker 1: then it just does, and then poking at him finally does.
Speaker 1: So let's this. I asked that question on the on
Speaker 1: the ride the tour bus that I work on, and
Speaker 1: people are always ear plugs your boys, and I go, sir,
Speaker 1: you just gotta make them, you gotta make them feel
Speaker 1: like they're the star. Hilarious, hilarious tourists. Fiance tattoo. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's of uh this really great design. I don't know
Speaker 1: who the design the guy is, but it's a graphic
Speaker 1: designer and it's all these cool like hands and different
Speaker 1: in different like positions, and they have eyes in them.
Speaker 1: It's just like one of his favorite pieces. Do you
Speaker 1: have tatters? You know what I'm getting. We went to
Speaker 1: the place, and we researched a long time to find
Speaker 1: a good place to get his tattoo, but we ended
Speaker 1: up just going to the place just in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and it ended up being the perfect one. The guys
Speaker 1: who worked there are so cool. I'll give them a
Speaker 1: plug because they're so dope. No all wolves, no sheep
Speaker 1: dot com. Yes. So, my sister and I were in
Speaker 1: Universal Studios, Florida, and we broke away from our parents
Speaker 1: and I think this is the time we like smoked
Speaker 1: a blood outside the hard Rock Cafe and then went
Speaker 1: into and we were like, should we get tattoos? My
Speaker 1: sister and I almost got matching tattoos at Universal Studios, Florida,
Speaker 1: And I have to tell you, I wish that we had.
Speaker 1: That's a real swinging doors scenario, Like what like be
Speaker 1: different if you did get matching tattoos with your sister?
Speaker 1: You know why is there tattoo artistant? Honestly everything that
Speaker 1: it was their their city walk section there's this space
Speaker 1: where you can get tattoos. And I was like, Mom
Speaker 1: and tat will be so pissed if we do this,
Speaker 1: but like let's get them on apart. It was it
Speaker 1: was so again conditional. It was like we wanted them,
Speaker 1: but we were going to get them in like a
Speaker 1: secret place on our body for that trip so our
Speaker 1: parents wouldn't see what would it And we didn't know
Speaker 1: what we want. So I was like, Chelsea, maybe we
Speaker 1: shouldn't get one. Were like, we don't know where on
Speaker 1: my bodies we want it. We don't know what we want.
Speaker 1: We're literally only doing it because it's like a little dangerous. Wow,
Speaker 1: thank god we didn't. I truly every time I try
Speaker 1: to wrap my head around what I would get a
Speaker 1: tattoo up, I just come up totally blind. I do
Speaker 1: need one. Yeah for sure. That's the biggest sign right there.
Speaker 1: I just want to really quickly say I got man.
Speaker 1: I were in Austin about a month ago and we
Speaker 1: were walking down South six No no, no, just just
Speaker 1: it's a town though, um, and then there's a tattoo
Speaker 1: parlor and I was like yeah, like just like the
Speaker 1: urge came over me. I was like, yeah, I'll get
Speaker 1: a tattoo because you feel as a powerful Getting tattoos
Speaker 1: is still that thing from when you're a child where
Speaker 1: your parents were like, yeah, it's the it's the decision
Speaker 1: to do it, that's really. That's like, do you do
Speaker 1: you already mention what it's gonna be on my Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Okay, Okay. So I'll be on my
Speaker 1: farm and it's going to be a boukia flowers. But
Speaker 1: the flowers will be like a combination of all the
Speaker 1: different countries I've gone to, all like the flowers I
Speaker 1: love so um Ontario has a really beautiful white trillium
Speaker 1: I think is their flower. And then I'm going to
Speaker 1: get like cherry blossoms because I'm going to Japan, I mean,
Speaker 1: and then she's gonna be a beautiful and watercolor so
Speaker 1: I won't have like a black lining. Yeah, it'll be
Speaker 1: more artistic. Okay, that's great. Oh that's that's you know what.
Speaker 1: That's the perfect And it's very well thought out too.
Speaker 1: It's like you know you can tell it's gonna something
Speaker 1: you live up. When you were talking about you started
Speaker 1: glowing when you were talking about it. You look fucking
Speaker 1: gorgeous and you look so amazing at the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like so gorgeous. And also you you made
Speaker 1: the hat like it was it was you were killing
Speaker 1: it in the hat. Hat were you that? Okay, great,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Okay, No, that hasn't where her she
Speaker 1: wore the hat. But no, it's like you didn't wear
Speaker 1: the hat the hat? Were you? I know? But that's
Speaker 1: a bad thing. Okay, I'm sorry. I goes like, you know,
Speaker 1: the thing about this picture is Marnie was wearing the scarf,
Speaker 1: but in this picture the scarf was wearing Helena, and
Speaker 1: everyone's just like, yeah, was there contestant named Helena? Wish
Speaker 1: to god there was. Umm. Was gonna ask you, are
Speaker 1: you the kind of person? And I just want you
Speaker 1: to settle this. I mean, this is just personal preference.
Speaker 1: If someone politely asks for the story behind the tattoo,
Speaker 1: will you will? Will you, like not non begrudgingly offer
Speaker 1: it up? Of course I would? Okay, good, And I
Speaker 1: forgot to add this point. You're gonna make fun of me,
Speaker 1: but there are there going to be writing on it
Speaker 1: like the ribbons, and it's gonna say Anny and Noon,
Speaker 1: which are cream wars for a big sister. You guys
Speaker 1: know how I feel about that ship. Yeah, no, see
Speaker 1: a case that's I feel like. Rule of thumb is,
Speaker 1: don't ask for the tattoo story, right, don't ask, don't
Speaker 1: expect it to be telled, thank you. I disagree people
Speaker 1: get that ship on their body to tell. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: you know it's like they you know what. I guess
Speaker 1: that's right. If you didn't, if you didn't want someone
Speaker 1: to see it, then you wouldn't be visible. I've just
Speaker 1: heard enough stories or I've just heard enough from people
Speaker 1: who were like, I don't owe it to you, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, those people suck. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: those people, why would you not want to tell? And
Speaker 1: obviously meant so much to you that you wanted to
Speaker 1: put it on your body. It's not a personal thing.
Speaker 1: It's a presentational Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure. Quick anecdote, Uh,
Speaker 1: this was back in the age when this was acceptable
Speaker 1: of me to do. But we my friends and I
Speaker 1: this was when I lived in Skyetown. Um, this is
Speaker 1: me like a Jack Quad and Mike and Rob Tangent
Speaker 1: and like all these people. One summer we just did
Speaker 1: like a photo scavenger hunt around the city and one
Speaker 1: of the items was one of the items was goofy
Speaker 1: stupid tattoo, Like we did to take a photo of it,
Speaker 1: and so we walked around the West Village and then
Speaker 1: we just walked up to this woman with like a
Speaker 1: sleeve and we were like, hi, um, we're on this
Speaker 1: photoscap and dreamer and we need like a silly tattoo.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no no no no,
Speaker 1: we just need like a fun tattoo. Do you have
Speaker 1: a fun tattoo we can take a picture of and
Speaker 1: she and she just very like glumly was like, well,
Speaker 1: I was fucking tattoo of a bowl of alphabet soup.
Speaker 1: And we were like that's perfect. And it was just
Speaker 1: the funniest reaction to this tattoo of a bull. But
Speaker 1: when we were like, yeah, that's it, Wait, did I
Speaker 1: really build up producer because I thought she was gonna
Speaker 1: like telling you be mad, but she that's what I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought was gonna happen, with her being like,
Speaker 1: get the funk away from me. This is sexual harass.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean sure, I know, but it's not.
Speaker 1: She would have been It was fun acting crazy there
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, I might be retelling it poorly, but anyway,
Speaker 1: it's fun, like I would so, Okay, a good friend
Speaker 1: of the show front of all of us, Oscar Montoya
Speaker 1: is the king of the ironic beautiful meaningless beautiful but
Speaker 1: stupid tattoos. He will admit to this. Really, he'll admit
Speaker 1: to it. I think he'll admit to it because like,
Speaker 1: one time he doesn't have a chicken leg. Okay, he's
Speaker 1: a chicken leg. And then one time we were hanging out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's dancing. One time we were hanging out and then
Speaker 1: and then on his cap I noticed this tattoo of
Speaker 1: like screaming cat face. I was like, oh, Scar, did
Speaker 1: you get a new tattoo? And he goes, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: I walked into this antique store and I saw this,
Speaker 1: this fucking like collectible card with the screaming cat face.
Speaker 1: It looks so stupid, and then I thought, I want
Speaker 1: that on my body, so I bought it a tattoo.
Speaker 1: Part like I got it on my cap. I was like,
Speaker 1: and that's when it clicked for me a bit, because
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, like, it doesn't matter like
Speaker 1: it can mean, it doesn't matter what you put on
Speaker 1: your body as long as you just like have that
Speaker 1: compulsion and you want it and it matters to yeah,
Speaker 1: and I just hope it's still matters. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm taking that in that clear shape is right
Speaker 1: now where it's like, well, just man, but dad, permanent,
Speaker 1: my dad. My dad used to tell us a tattoo
Speaker 1: is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Oh my god. Suicide. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he might have been. I
Speaker 1: don't think he. I don't think either that was popular
Speaker 1: phrase back then first iticide, or I don't think he
Speaker 1: realized that's maybe where he heard it. He also told
Speaker 1: me one time that the reason why people wear their
Speaker 1: hats backwards is so they can put their face close
Speaker 1: up to the glass when they're in prison. Tell me that,
Speaker 1: and I was like, that's exclusive to white people. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love that's so. I mean, this is like, this
Speaker 1: is like in the mid nineties when I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to wear my hat backwards and he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you this, and it's like true.
Speaker 1: I feel like those are urban legends that kind of
Speaker 1: have a little bit of maybe I have a little
Speaker 1: bit truth in them. Somewhere potentially. I mean, where is
Speaker 1: that coming from? I don't know, like either someone made
Speaker 1: that up and like was plausible enough to me as
Speaker 1: a kid where I was like, oh, well, my dad
Speaker 1: does know everything. I guess that's what's true, because you
Speaker 1: really think that because your parents tell you that, right,
Speaker 1: and you're like, how do how do you know all
Speaker 1: the answers and they say because I know everything, and
Speaker 1: we're like, we're getting your ear pierced on the left side.
Speaker 1: Means you're gay right exactly time. And I think my
Speaker 1: dad if he heard that, if he heard someone else
Speaker 1: say that now, he'd be like, what are you fucking insane?
Speaker 1: Like it's something that if you would here now, he'd
Speaker 1: be like, of course that's not true. So have you
Speaker 1: heard the other thing about the baggy pants about prisoners.
Speaker 1: You haven't heard that, oh so um, Apparently the urban
Speaker 1: myth is is that guys in prison where their pants
Speaker 1: really low, sort of like one denote that they're down
Speaker 1: for whatever. My god. But it also I heard is like,
Speaker 1: which makes more sense to me, is that they don't
Speaker 1: give you belts in prison, so it's like you your
Speaker 1: pants are like sagging, but then when you get out
Speaker 1: of prison. That style kept kept up, kept up. Then
Speaker 1: it blew up and was like universal, So now everyone
Speaker 1: has baggy pants. But then it's a it's a tool
Speaker 1: for your parents to be like, don't wear baggy pants,
Speaker 1: but prisoners yeah, because they were gay, Yeah honestly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's funny because like what is the truth something?
Speaker 1: You know? And the thing about that is like there
Speaker 1: was like the first person to put their hat backwards,
Speaker 1: and why did they do it? There was like the
Speaker 1: first person ever to wear that wearing their clothes a
Speaker 1: certain style, you know what I mean, like for example,
Speaker 1: the pop collar, Like who was the fucking little ship
Speaker 1: who was the first one to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start a clothing revolution and popped his collar?
Speaker 1: And then it became like the poster look for like privileged, white,
Speaker 1: stupid fox. But then like it needs to catch on
Speaker 1: in a way. It's like remember remember like years ago,
Speaker 1: like I just flipping through like some fucking like men's
Speaker 1: style magazine and it was so convinced that putting a
Speaker 1: tie between the buttons of your shirt was going to
Speaker 1: be the new thing, and it was like, no fucking way.
Speaker 1: So I think that is the stupidest thing I've ever
Speaker 1: seen people do. Do it? Will do it? My god?
Speaker 1: Does it looked dumb like? And no no jacket to
Speaker 1: cover that? You No, like you're wearing a shirt. You're
Speaker 1: wearing a tie, but then you slip and tuck in
Speaker 1: the tie in between like these two buttons on your story,
Speaker 1: and then the bottom of your tie is just not
Speaker 1: this no jacket, You're just wearing a jacket, wearing open jacket.
Speaker 1: I would imagine that you did, or there'd be no
Speaker 1: jacket because you want people to see what you did,
Speaker 1: because it's like a fashion statement to do that. But
Speaker 1: that I don't think it's going to catch on. I
Speaker 1: feel as strongly that will not catch on. As when
Speaker 1: I was younger, I was dead right about this. When
Speaker 1: dudes would bleach the tip of their hair, Yeah that
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not a tip. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like frosted tips, Yeah, the frosted tips. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a thing that people are
Speaker 1: going to be doing for two or three years, and
Speaker 1: then we're going to look back on it and think
Speaker 1: the way we think about like crimped hair in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Pokemon Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Pokemon go like it was
Speaker 1: like already we're like, no, that's sartorial expert. But I've
Speaker 1: always made the wrong clothing choices my whole life long.
Speaker 1: Well you've stuck to You've stuck to uh, and don't
Speaker 1: take this the wrong way. Safe, reliable, classic looks. I
Speaker 1: do utility where I do almost always a flannel over
Speaker 1: like it's partly graphic TI and jeans and like more
Speaker 1: often than not these days like my my half, But
Speaker 1: did you want to be edgier? The thing is, like
Speaker 1: I think I've always liked The thing is, somebody the
Speaker 1: other day was talking about their friend that has a
Speaker 1: really good fashion sense, and I know what it is,
Speaker 1: and like I like fashion, like I like seeing, for example,
Speaker 1: on RuPaul's drag Race, Like my favorite part is the runway.
Speaker 1: I love seeing the looks, like even as a comedian,
Speaker 1: like I don't really care that much to see them
Speaker 1: do like performance challenges. I just want to see what
Speaker 1: they bring to the runway. I love fashion, but it's
Speaker 1: just not something that I I don't wake up every
Speaker 1: day and say, Okay, what am I wearing? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like and maybe in high school I
Speaker 1: kind of got there a little bit, but I think
Speaker 1: that was more because I was just really self conscious
Speaker 1: about what everyone thought about me. But I it's just
Speaker 1: not something I think about every day. Why what about
Speaker 1: you guys? Do you guys? I was out of presentation.
Speaker 1: I was going to throw this over to Monique because
Speaker 1: I feel like Monique is a very distinct fashion sense.
Speaker 1: I'll just go really quickly. I yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: I I look back at pictures of myself, even like
Speaker 1: two years ago, and I'm like, what the funk was
Speaker 1: I thinking? So now it's just like, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: like be very cliche New York Asian and stick to
Speaker 1: like all dark, all black. Um, these are my stores, guys,
Speaker 1: but they're reliable. It's like, uh and you know they
Speaker 1: work for you and they work for me. Everlyne Moogie,
Speaker 1: Unichlo uh uh and the Lady Gaga Merged are those are?
Speaker 1: Those are my four places? Um? But mo I feel
Speaker 1: no I want I want a Huffington's post slide show
Speaker 1: the style of evolution of Oh my goodness. So right now,
Speaker 1: this is so funny because I'm doing a Facebook live
Speaker 1: with an attachment and Black tomorrow about amzing wonderful fashions stuff.
Speaker 1: But um, right, now I'm actually I think I'm moving.
Speaker 1: I'm morphing into a different style. Like I'm really like
Speaker 1: actually focusing on style as opposed to before where it's
Speaker 1: like I just wore what I wanted to wear, and
Speaker 1: it's like I had I used my dance background mixed
Speaker 1: with this sense of like I love streetwear, but then
Speaker 1: I also had to do age appropriate in the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm an improviser, so I couldn't be like I
Speaker 1: couldn't be like bomber jackets every day. So now I'm
Speaker 1: moving into like a Zara meets um meets like urban. Yeah. Thanks,
Speaker 1: so I'll still wear like Timberland's, but like I love
Speaker 1: tailored fits. I'm killing turtlenecks lately. Yeah, right now. It's
Speaker 1: so weird and it's a mixture of like I love layering.
Speaker 1: Yeah no. And Henry gets mad at me because I
Speaker 1: primarily wear his clothes now, so like, for example, this shirt,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing this like kind of uh like green flannel
Speaker 1: today and he really likes the shirt, and I was
Speaker 1: going to put this other sweatshirt over it because I
Speaker 1: love to layer, and he was like, I hate it
Speaker 1: when you wear my good shirts over my other good shirts,
Speaker 1: so you can't even see the one good shirt and
Speaker 1: you have a T shirt on underneath. Sound. And I
Speaker 1: was like, but I like to layer. He's like, so
Speaker 1: then wear something underneath it that's not as nice and
Speaker 1: isn't going to be like wrinkled or whatever or not seen.
Speaker 1: And he's not wrong, but like, what can I say?
Speaker 1: The bitch likes to layer, the bitch loves to be warm, yes,
Speaker 1: and the bitch loves the look of a flannel popping
Speaker 1: out under a swatshirt. Yes. I I think you're right
Speaker 1: on the right track. You know. My look is like
Speaker 1: casual gay guy whose room is probably messy and eats
Speaker 1: a lot of pizza, but like, you know, like lazy
Speaker 1: gay chic lay cheek on the end. Yeah, cut where
Speaker 1: it used to be like it used to be like
Speaker 1: American Eagle nightmare right right. I want to point out
Speaker 1: something it's not too specific about Monique. She is rocking
Speaker 1: the rings, honey, Yeah, you know what? You know what's
Speaker 1: about that? You know what it is about them? They're
Speaker 1: not like over embellished, No, they just good, clean, crisp,
Speaker 1: classical of it. I mean, I can't thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you voice. I really appreciate it. I can't wear ear
Speaker 1: rings because I have, like, um, a thing where I
Speaker 1: need goals and sober. Yeah, I thought you were going
Speaker 1: to say, because like you were allergic to something, allergic
Speaker 1: to fake as ship potential title of that. But also,
Speaker 1: I'm kind kind of cheap and I don't want to
Speaker 1: spend you know, a couple of bills proper jewelry, So
Speaker 1: I don't wear I don't I wear chokers, but I
Speaker 1: don't wear like necklaces and ear rings. And I love rings.
Speaker 1: These are these golden I think, so, I mean these
Speaker 1: were given to me by bo and there's a engagement.
Speaker 1: I love it. Look at that circle, I love it.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing as gays I was hanging I
Speaker 1: was hanging out with my straight friends from high school
Speaker 1: the other day and my friend Ken was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is a question. I don't know that,
Speaker 1: Like what do guys do for wedding rings? I was like,
Speaker 1: I think we just do bands for me, which is fine.
Speaker 1: I like the nice classic bands feel like diamonds somewhere
Speaker 1: or I said, because I wouldn't want to wear a
Speaker 1: diamond ring, but I would. Here's what I would do
Speaker 1: if it was diamonds all around the bands and it
Speaker 1: was just like one ring of diamonds. I think that's
Speaker 1: take a diamond, cut a hole fucking middle of it
Speaker 1: and stick your finger. Oh my god, wait, this is
Speaker 1: what I want. Can I walk us through this, walk
Speaker 1: us through, unpack this for us. I'm unpacking this. A
Speaker 1: dark sort of dark titanium band with the tiniest fucking
Speaker 1: microns of diamonds along the north south east west like
Speaker 1: the north east bones. Finger is the world, bitch, I
Speaker 1: have a compass on my fucking Oh my god. I
Speaker 1: mean that's stupid, but like just just four points, baby,
Speaker 1: and I think that's great. That is actually very future
Speaker 1: forward thing to me. I've never seen that done, and
Speaker 1: that makes it drag. Drag is something that you've never

Speaker 1: we just had Lost Cultures Live. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: The live event yes, and Monique was a part of
Speaker 1: a moment that stopped the world stop. Now you chose
Speaker 1: to go into the troll ball. Yeah, and okay, first
Speaker 1: of all, very bravely keep going, thank you. I mean,
Speaker 1: in my head, what I was going to do was
Speaker 1: a scathing review of Wagon Mama Ramen, yes, which which
Speaker 1: we will hear. I'm not going to do that, tod
Speaker 1: I know, but like I, in my head, that's what
Speaker 1: I was going to do. But then I thought I'm
Speaker 1: second to last. No one has picked the troll ball.
Speaker 1: It's very popular when you do it. And I did
Speaker 1: not think I was gonna I thought I was going
Speaker 1: to get some bullshit thing. But I got Donald motherfucking Trump, okay,
Speaker 1: and so let me so I made the trollball, like
Speaker 1: I put everything in there, and Andresen created the idea
Speaker 1: of the trouball, and I thought that was so that's
Speaker 1: so funny, especially because you know some people they might
Speaker 1: not you know what, exactly know what to do, like
Speaker 1: you know, some people just like I might not have
Speaker 1: a might not have a thing. Anyway, Monique draws Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and the reason I put Donald Trump in there is
Speaker 1: because I was just trying to funk with everyone that
Speaker 1: the trouble, and I think I certainly did. So you
Speaker 1: picked the Donald Trump and I look in the crowd
Speaker 1: and everyone's got up two fingers, and then it's like
Speaker 1: two minutes and it's I've never It's like it was
Speaker 1: like the fucking Roman Colisseum. People were just foaming at
Speaker 1: the mouth, being like rabbit like god they were, and
Speaker 1: we were. Honestly, I was shook and I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can do this, I can do this. But then
Speaker 1: I was like, holy funk, there's so much to unpack here,
Speaker 1: I know. And I'm just saying my apologies for throwing
Speaker 1: two minutes on you, because like, honestly, looking back, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, he forced Donald Trump. But I will
Speaker 1: say you were hilarious. And you guys have all heard
Speaker 1: of the episode already at home where it's going to
Speaker 1: come out tomorrow for us, but I cannot wait. But
Speaker 1: we were screaming, laughing, we were just but I get
Speaker 1: like like hearing coming off stage after two minutes and
Speaker 1: being like, oh man, I did not funk with Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and like like what a hard Like it's an
Speaker 1: easy mark, but it's also so hard, like where do
Speaker 1: you even fucking begin and honestly, like I like I

Speaker 1: Mama ram because I just want to I just want
Speaker 1: to say I'm very invested in this because I'm recently
Speaker 1: a Ramen. I mean, I've always loved Ramen, but winter months,
Speaker 1: i mean we're it's warming up. But I've been digging
Speaker 1: into Ramen and just getting some spicy tinctus, some spicy
Speaker 1: misos puts me right to sleep. Oh my god. My
Speaker 1: boss at work, she's the best. Um. She always wants
Speaker 1: to order Ramen. It's so cute. She's like, can we
Speaker 1: order Ramen? And like sure, test and then we get
Speaker 1: ramen and then we are immediately sleepy by like toast,
Speaker 1: it puts you right to sleep. So anyway, need that
Speaker 1: five hour energy, you need that five our energy. I'm
Speaker 1: a big Ramen head now, but so I want to
Speaker 1: know what's what's wrong about this? How they So there's
Speaker 1: two things you have to know about me in regards
Speaker 1: to rack Mamma. One, I I'm obsessed with Ramen. Eat
Speaker 1: at every Roman shop in the city too. I work
Speaker 1: in fla Iron. So when Wagga Mama, I don't even
Speaker 1: know Mama opens its new shop and they're like this
Speaker 1: fucking corporate juggernaut. They have a shot Raman restaurants all
Speaker 1: over the world, like Tehran and fucking a Ramen shop.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, So, I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: research them that much, but they've got shipped in Boston.
Speaker 1: Is there only Uh? I'm like giving them advertising, you
Speaker 1: agon Mama. Anyways, they only have one shop in Boston.
Speaker 1: So they open up a block away from my work.
Speaker 1: I'm excited because you know, I'm at work and the
Speaker 1: only thing I need now is some fucking Ramen. They
Speaker 1: feel good and I go and why right now? Wants
Speaker 1: a few good. Why do I go one soggy ass
Speaker 1: noodles bad cold tepid broth over price and then this
Speaker 1: isn't just one, this is and just one time. I
Speaker 1: gave them two chances and they funked up both times.
Speaker 1: They're auxiliary dishes, are good, like what names the um like,
Speaker 1: they're buns, they're pork buns, were right. But their ramen
Speaker 1: is all this like and it's not good. You can't
Speaker 1: Ramen is one of those things. It's a very delicate
Speaker 1: sort of thing where you cannot funk with the formula.
Speaker 1: And they have like these weird spoons. I see what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. They're trying to make. They're trying
Speaker 1: to give us their version of ramen, and it's like,
Speaker 1: don't do come and give me what I want. Wagga, mama,
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't think so, honey. You know I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. Wagga mama, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: You know what, I guess I associate ramen with like
Speaker 1: ramen that you eat in college, and I'm not understanding
Speaker 1: what a different cultural side of the coin, honey, right,
Speaker 1: But I do get get very hard when you say
Speaker 1: the word spicy, like I'm immediately ready to go for
Speaker 1: a good Raman place. You guys, they do Raman ands
Speaker 1: sheet both very well. I don't know how rare that is.
Speaker 1: This is the place called m Zucho the U T
Speaker 1: d o. It sounds Italian, bitchet ain't it's Japanese. Where
Speaker 1: is this? Um? I only order three seamless they're they're
Speaker 1: they're They're around Hudson Square, Tribeca. So how um fantastic
Speaker 1: spice mesa round in amazing pork pork belly. It's amazing
Speaker 1: soft whaled eggs. It's the best. I love it so much.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Yeah, it's incredible. But they sucked up. So
Speaker 1: but you know what, I didn't talk about them. I
Speaker 1: talked about Donald, all right, So you know what. So
Speaker 1: you floated around a lot of topics to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But but Monique is here to do another I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. And the woman has no outcome. I
Speaker 1: mean I have to I can't just go down. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But the thing is that's so crazy about
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Is we go right off
Speaker 1: the top of the dome and there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: twist for today. Is I don't think so, honey. You're
Speaker 1: gonna know, not for you, for you, towards us. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know about this. What is this? Monique is
Speaker 1: going to decide on the spot what we do are
Speaker 1: I don't think I love that? Alright, So we're the
Speaker 1: coin now, the tables of terms, yes, um, And we're
Speaker 1: going to get our own taste of the trouball that's
Speaker 1: going to come from the mobile. I gotta taste the
Speaker 1: trouble myself. I thought I didn't. Okay, John, you at
Speaker 1: Sarah Paulson. Yeah, my angle. The one thing I would
Speaker 1: have changed, And I'm sorry this is a tangent. I
Speaker 1: For some reason, I mentioned I wish you had done
Speaker 1: comedy Bang Bang, which makes kind of no sense. First
Speaker 1: of all, no, I think it's amazing because your whole
Speaker 1: thesis was we want to see you in everything, and
Speaker 1: that includes comedy Bang Bang. But then I also and
Speaker 1: this is the other thing I wish I had revised.
Speaker 1: I mentioned her in Memorium Real, which is like kind
Speaker 1: of heavy, and I that's you're just giving yourself notes
Speaker 1: And no, you can't judge. I don't think so, honey
Speaker 1: that way. I don't think so, honey, is from the heart.
Speaker 1: It's about the passion. It doesn't matter what the funk
Speaker 1: you say, No one cares. It's about did you make
Speaker 1: your case? And guess what you made the case. I
Speaker 1: don't think you did something in me which was I
Speaker 1: don't think so, Honey, Sarah Paulson, You're too amazing to
Speaker 1: not work every goddamn day of your life. Fuck you
Speaker 1: for not working more, which is brilliant. You're able to
Speaker 1: come on it positively, but also you know the stakes
Speaker 1: were hot. I am, I am. I can spin anything
Speaker 1: better than fucking Kelly and Conway herself. I have to say,
Speaker 1: if there's a if there's someone besides me who I
Speaker 1: feel is your arch nemesis, it is Kelly and I
Speaker 1: think I think the end of days, we're all going
Speaker 1: to watch something on television, like like Bowen's Catanis and
Speaker 1: Kelly an Is likes We're going to see a televised
Speaker 1: fight to the death by Bowen Yang and Kelly and Conway.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Kelly Anne, yeah, here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: This is Monick Mosis. Are you ready? I'm ready, and
Speaker 1: you've got in a minute on there. Yeah, alright, Monique Moses.
Speaker 1: I don't think so any Donald Trump. Part two time
Speaker 1: starts now. Okay, Donald Trump, I don't think so, mother
Speaker 1: fucking honey, you're trying to repeal Obamacare. I don't think
Speaker 1: you cann don't think so, honey, because even your party
Speaker 1: doesn't like you. Your body's like Donald, you are dumb, dumb, dumb.
Speaker 1: You are not a real president. You think you're a
Speaker 1: real president. I don't think so, honey. No, the only
Speaker 1: thing you can get done is by executive order. It's
Speaker 1: like that teenager at a party when they have a
Speaker 1: party when their folks are away, and you know what,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get your asspeat when they come home. But
Speaker 1: you'll like still try to have that party anyways and
Speaker 1: deal with it later. Fuck you, Donald Trump. You are
Speaker 1: like the motherfucking Baba Duke. Okay, spoiler alert, he represents
Speaker 1: grief everybody. Is he even human? Donald Trump? Are you
Speaker 1: even human? I don't even think so, honey. Okay, you
Speaker 1: are fucking Demi Gorgon from Stranger Things, pushing legislation to
Speaker 1: literally turn the environment into the upside down. And it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna take us like eleven years to reverse. And
Speaker 1: you want to know why I said eleven because it's
Speaker 1: a stranger things referenced. All right, Donald, you need to
Speaker 1: take several scenes because you are the clown from it,
Speaker 1: but the clown from it has better teeth. Fuck you,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, three seconds. Why are you wasting our money?
Speaker 1: You fucking suck. I tried to go through Fifth Avenue
Speaker 1: when I couldn't. Oh my god, stop seeing our money
Speaker 1: on golf tramps because everybody sees you, Donald Trump. We
Speaker 1: do honestly and honestly, but you know what the thing is, like,
Speaker 1: here's the deal now when people when I'm ever like
Speaker 1: challenged by someone who did vote for Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: for some reason it is still standing by him or
Speaker 1: the people that are mad silent now because that's also
Speaker 1: a thing. People that were real opinionated about how she
Speaker 1: was equally as bad as him, and now don't say
Speaker 1: a fucking word on Facebook. All of a sudden, they're
Speaker 1: not as political anymore. They don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's like, come the funk on. But then I get
Speaker 1: to talk into them and they say, well, why do
Speaker 1: you hate him so much? And I get so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: He's so overwhelming. That's what part of the whole shock
Speaker 1: of him being president is is. It's like, truly, where
Speaker 1: do you fucking start. We haven't begun. I mean we've
Speaker 1: begun to process it, but we looks like just there
Speaker 1: are so many entry points. Oh, this is a thing. Um.
Speaker 1: I was just I was just talking with my parents
Speaker 1: this past weekend. My mom and I had a nice
Speaker 1: spawning experience. UM because a lot of her old students
Speaker 1: from med school who are still living in China. Um,
Speaker 1: and even some like family friends who live in Colorado
Speaker 1: who I found out voted for Trump. And I'm shocked
Speaker 1: and appalled at them, and they've I've lost all respect
Speaker 1: for them. But anyway, a lot of my mom's medical student,
Speaker 1: medical student, uh whatever, students from from China who were
Speaker 1: still there supported him, like from Afar. Obviously they couldn't vote,
Speaker 1: but they were like, wow, they're always awful. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is better for China, and now all of them are
Speaker 1: trying to like all of the like have business in
Speaker 1: the U. S. And come every now and then, but
Speaker 1: now with this, like with this immigration crackdown and like
Speaker 1: visa crackdown, like they're not able to get into the
Speaker 1: country and they are they have such regrets about just
Speaker 1: siding with him and I'm like, well, like that, and
Speaker 1: I kind of like feel sort of it feels karmically
Speaker 1: satisfying for me to be like, well, fuck you forever
Speaker 1: thinking that he was a good choice. Like and I
Speaker 1: know they it was of no consequence for them, like
Speaker 1: they didn't vote, but still it's like, it's such an
Speaker 1: I told you some moment and anyway, you know what,
Speaker 1: some of us are smarter than doctors in China, so
Speaker 1: I should feel good about that. It's just so. Did
Speaker 1: you read the article about the woman who voted for
Speaker 1: Trump and now her husband is being deported? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: actually couldn't even read it. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: too fun to say. Yeah, it's nuts and it's weird too.
Speaker 1: As a Canadian, I should have more of a um
Speaker 1: an anger towards the travel band, but it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what his aim is, so I can't
Speaker 1: even I don't I don't even. So did you vote?
Speaker 1: You voted in Canada? No, I can't vote anywhere, so yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm just like a bystander. I'm like a ghost.
Speaker 1: So you would have voted for Trudeau though? Oh hell yeah,
Speaker 1: oh my god. He is a fine man. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's he's beautiful, he's smart, he's kind. Yeah, God he
Speaker 1: shakes back, you know when he gets a weird handshake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just Also that shot of his booty, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it's crazy. The world is obsessed. He's kind
Speaker 1: of it's it's nuts. He's gorgeous. Perfect. When I do
Speaker 1: stand up, I have this funny bit about like I
Speaker 1: gave him up. Well, actually I did that Trump, I
Speaker 1: left sucking Trudeau behind. It's like it's like seeing your
Speaker 1: ex just fly. Also, his first name is Justin Justin,
Speaker 1: and he like speaks like do you hear do you
Speaker 1: hear him speaking French at the Parliament House or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like he speaks perfect French. Do you speak French? No?
Speaker 1: I don't really, I just like I speak direct translation,
Speaker 1: which is not speaking. It's just you know, it's just
Speaker 1: like it's like signs. Yeah, I realized I speak more
Speaker 1: farsty than I do. Friend, stud has taught me some
Speaker 1: far amazing Yeah. Um, what what did you say recently?
Speaker 1: And I think you posted the way you yes is ballet,
Speaker 1: and then there's and and what's the when you want
Speaker 1: to give a term of endearment to someone tell them
Speaker 1: that you care about them. It's like you say there,
Speaker 1: if it's a man, it's bow and June and then
Speaker 1: um um. My favorite, my favorite thing is um, like
Speaker 1: the way you say like God willing or we hope.
Speaker 1: So like inshallah, this podcast gets a million views, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like like vocal podcast exactly. Like
Speaker 1: every day I'm like inshallah. I'll find out that I'm
Speaker 1: going to Disney World today and I'll finally be happy.
Speaker 1: But that's my favorite word and I like to use
Speaker 1: it in casual conversations. I love it. If you if
Speaker 1: you if you had told American eagle nightmare Matt Rodgers
Speaker 1: ten years ago that he was speaking FARSI I think
Speaker 1: I honestly think about this sometimes. I'm like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: If eighteen year old me could see like twenty seven
Speaker 1: year old me, what would I think? And I think
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty okay with it. It would be shocking
Speaker 1: because it would mean that I conquered a lot of
Speaker 1: my like fears about my identity, and I would be
Speaker 1: I think I'd wonder, like how the fund did that go?
Speaker 1: But um, but I think it'd be nice to see that,
Speaker 1: like I was at least happy and gay without panicking
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and be able to speak Farsi and
Speaker 1: be able to speak four words of Farsi and got
Speaker 1: my layer layer game down. Yeah, I don't went up
Speaker 1: enough Mandarin for you. I realized a Mandarin. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do we what do we want to know? Um? You
Speaker 1: know what they say? You should know how to do.
Speaker 1: You should at least be able to ask in any
Speaker 1: country you go to, where's the bathroom? Okayez? Great? Is
Speaker 1: this is this what you want to first time? How
Speaker 1: to introduce ourselves? Um? So we all know? Uh was
Speaker 1: shot Monique, Monique matt beautiful and guys, any my relatives
Speaker 1: would sucking flipping? Okay great? And then were and then
Speaker 1: where's the bathroom? Um, it's it's a little tough, but
Speaker 1: just just go with me. Just really make your tongue
Speaker 1: very pliable and make sure that we when we say
Speaker 1: we say it in the polite way. Yeah. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: So that makes it even more complicated, but sure, that's fine. Um,
Speaker 1: this is may I please ask to win? To win
Speaker 1: to Nali? She went to Nali. She went to Nali
Speaker 1: close enough. She went to I'm sorry, I'm sorry, No, no,
Speaker 1: no no no, no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no, there's I no, this is isn't wrong. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's very wrong, but it's fantastic because there's something
Speaker 1: so um compelling about math, just so with such poise,
Speaker 1: just saying Mandarin gibberish and it's it's my new favorite thing.
Speaker 1: This is this is a new discovery for me. Matt
Speaker 1: t wins Holly, this isn't it's kind of offensive, but
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Really, it's not offensive. I really don't want
Speaker 1: to I'm can't kidding. This does not offend me, which
Speaker 1: told not offend anyone else. There you go, and you
Speaker 1: know what, this brings me to an interesting point. This
Speaker 1: is a little to okay, so oh no, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to go okay off and I
Speaker 1: have to talk about this and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: name any names. So um. I recently realized that um
Speaker 1: the word f a G within a show that I
Speaker 1: saw recently, and I thought it was hilarious because it
Speaker 1: was justified well. And the person that put up the
Speaker 1: show said that they had fielded some emails and gotten
Speaker 1: some complaints because this is a straight white man, that
Speaker 1: that they were now going to take the word out
Speaker 1: despite it being justified very well, because they got emails
Speaker 1: from some actually women who said that they shouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to use that word. And I've seen the show
Speaker 1: a bunch and it didn't offend me, but it definitely
Speaker 1: opens up a very interesting conversation, especially this week after
Speaker 1: that d c M poster about like words, how we
Speaker 1: use them, who gets to use them? Because I have
Speaker 1: to be honest, I was even a little confused after
Speaker 1: the d c M conversation because when I saw the poster,
Speaker 1: obviously I cringed a little bit, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I was like, that shouldn't be on there. But then
Speaker 1: why everyone was so mad about the word woke being used?
Speaker 1: I thought everyone was without kind of saying it, because
Speaker 1: no one was being very clear. Everyone was kind of
Speaker 1: angry for different reasons. And it was like, hold on,
Speaker 1: and because it's social media and Facebook where anyone can
Speaker 1: set anything or give any half reaction or over the
Speaker 1: top redaction they want. Um, I kind of found myself saying,
Speaker 1: let's actually have a conversation about the way that we
Speaker 1: use stay woke, Like who is is not allowed to
Speaker 1: say this? What does it really mean? Because I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of misunderstanding about that. Like I have
Speaker 1: white friends, um, and you know, people of all different
Speaker 1: races around me, and I feel like that word has
Speaker 1: become such a part of the zeitgeist that I legitimately
Speaker 1: had to type into Google like an idiot, what does
Speaker 1: stay woke me? And where did it come from? I
Speaker 1: think someone wish a credit whoever said this comment. But
Speaker 1: somebody was like, unless if this is a three day
Speaker 1: symposium on diversity and race relations, I don't think that
Speaker 1: it should have been named the Wokening. If that was like,
Speaker 1: I see what they were going for. But that's the
Speaker 1: only reason why it's a cringe e title. If that,
Speaker 1: if like diversity truly like was pervasive throughout the weekend,
Speaker 1: then absolutely like do some weird pun or play on
Speaker 1: words or whatever. But like, yeah, it's kind of it's
Speaker 1: like an improta. It's sort of it's like the Veneer.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's not really what Diversity not
Speaker 1: a theme, you know what I mean? Diversity should be
Speaker 1: a given. It's like we should be you know, you
Speaker 1: can't like the theme of celebrating diversity that should be
Speaker 1: a part of every day and you see and so
Speaker 1: to kind of make that the focus. Like I absolutely
Speaker 1: share in the frustration with that, especially because you know
Speaker 1: the people that decided to make it that way we're
Speaker 1: white people. It's just like it's frustrating. I thought it
Speaker 1: was handled really well. I thought it was handled there.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate a chance response. Yeah, oh I didn't
Speaker 1: read it. It was very very graceful, and it really
Speaker 1: it kind of like said, like you know what, like
Speaker 1: this is another opportunity for a conversation, and this conversation
Speaker 1: will never stop until it will just never stop. And
Speaker 1: that's great, and that did make me feel proud to
Speaker 1: be a part of the community because you know what,
Speaker 1: at least we're having the conversation and the artists themselves
Speaker 1: was black, right, I believe. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: say yes or no because I don't know, but that
Speaker 1: would make sense, I mean, so you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But as going back to that that anecdote about about fag,
Speaker 1: it's interesting how like it's it's I don't know, this
Speaker 1: is this might be a little thorny for for me
Speaker 1: to go into. But like if it's mostly if it's
Speaker 1: like women predominantly who are like coming up and like
Speaker 1: policing that the usage of that word. I feel like
Speaker 1: there's some sort of a erasure on game Man, and
Speaker 1: just like on gay men b it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: someone else is speaking on my back. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's fully representative. And it was just interesting because
Speaker 1: I've seen the show a bunch and I've never thought
Speaker 1: to myself that offends me. However, I do have to
Speaker 1: say I'm grateful to the people speaking because I think
Speaker 1: it means I think what it means is like people
Speaker 1: have been hurt by things, and you know, you just
Speaker 1: you don't want to you don't want other people to
Speaker 1: be triggered by something that. But I think maybe there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of an assumption that it's going to
Speaker 1: be a trigger where it's not like at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, we're a comedy theater and you know,
Speaker 1: like the comedy has to come first, and if the
Speaker 1: comedy is not coming first, I do think there is
Speaker 1: a second. There is there is an opportunity to take
Speaker 1: a second of pause there um. But and shows of
Speaker 1: solidarity um are good and helpful in their intention, but
Speaker 1: also um, you know, also sometimes just just just maybe
Speaker 1: not fully I don't know I think this is so hard.
Speaker 1: It's such a it's such a tough, terrible Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean and like I remember when I first saw
Speaker 1: the poster, I did like it because I didn't even
Speaker 1: see the title because I'm color blind as fun. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, like this like moment of like
Speaker 1: all of Facebook with status is about the poster and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, what does the does
Speaker 1: the post to say? I went back and I saw
Speaker 1: what it was and I saw that I liked it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I'm like, I'm like, wow, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's that's where your color blindness it
Speaker 1: will defeat me. No, no, no, I don't mean I'm
Speaker 1: colorblind in the fact that I don't know. I mean
Speaker 1: like I'm literally color blind. Like I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 1: allowed to fly a plane or like the draft fighting
