It's monologue's written 148 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: from the end of the Kids in the Hall they 149 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: lose refers to the kids in the Hall, which means flood, 150 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: so it's the flood. And then it's afterwards when Buddy 151 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: was like tossed into the wilderness. And so I kept writing, 152 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: and I've always performed. But you know, so they're like 153 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: monologues from nothing's ever been on television. And but the 154 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: whole premises the world changes drastically all the way around him, 155 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: but he doesn't budget inch, you know, and people say, 156 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: how does Buddy change? I got none? Why would have 157 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: perfect character change? That he was actual from the DA 158 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and even like and also in terms of comedy, like 159 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: it's almost like a hard and fast ruling comedy that 160 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: comic characters don't really change, they don't really learn, and 161 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: that's part of what makes them so joyful to watch, 162 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: because human beings love to see people make the same 163 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: mistakes over and over again. Or with Buddy, they just 164 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: love to see Buddy make the right choice over and 165 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: over again. Yeah, but no, he hasn't. I looked, he 166 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I look different, but the clothes of the same. You know, 167 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: he still wears the you know he has he found 168 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: a timeless fashion and he's stuck to it. Does smoke 169 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: still know, But there's a point in the show when 170 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: in ninet when Buddy, when Buddy gets by, gets a bar. 171 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah he stops, but that was back before. But there 172 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: is a period in the show when Buddy takes up 173 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: in Buddy tests negative for AIDS and he decides, well, 174 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: then I'm let's start smoking again. So so I do 175 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: start smoking again the show. Then I then I take 176 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and then I quit a gain on on stage. Were 177 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: you involved heavily in the Buddy fashions came from you, 178 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: all right, every every single monologue had to have an 179 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: outfit that was kind of a visual equivalent of what 180 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: he was speaking about. So they were always signifiers in 181 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: the outfits. I mean, you know, I tried to basically say, 182 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: you know, the basic shape of Buddy is, you know, 183 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: the pants and the shot no socks, you can't wear socks, 184 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: you know, and and the jacket that's smoking jacket. But 185 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: we we went really far, and maybe in a way 186 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: we kind of went too far in some some of 187 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: the outfits, Like I mean, there was one modeled on 188 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: the girl in the back of export a cigarettes that 189 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: was a great look. And then there was one where 190 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: he had his nipples, kind of the nipples. Nipples. I 191 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: was always looking for an excuse to showcase Buddies. Nipple 192 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: was something I worked very, very careful closely with Hillary Corbett, 193 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: who was our costume designer, and I think the best 194 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: thing we ever made together, what she ever made, was 195 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: the Buddy Cole outfit UM Girls of Summer when he 196 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: when he becomes the coach of the Lesbians UM Softball. 197 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: Once again, there was nipple, but that was a great. 198 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: I mean yes, so we were very involved. And that's 199 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: one of the things I like to do with this show. 200 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: Once we we put it into the shop for a 201 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: few months, I want to give it a bit more 202 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: like I give it some visual excitement. Yeah, it has 203 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: visual excitement, but I would like to I'd like it 204 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: to suddenly change for each monologue, cause there's ten monologues, 205 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: and maybe have little things on the outfit to kind 206 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: of reflect the time around him, because looking at him, 207 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna go, what the funk year are we act 208 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: It's like it's it's it's it's the year timeless, but 209 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: isn't itzy? Because I was watching a bunch of them 210 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: again today and I was just like, you could see 211 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: guys like thinking nothing of it wearing these things. The 212 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: style really does hold up. And also just like the 213 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: kind of like camp of it, like the monolog that 214 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: you did in the cemetery and you have to sort 215 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: of vampiric, the incredible hair, incredible and you look just 216 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: like an actress. And I can't any actress like I 217 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: want to say Catherine Howard, that's wrong, but like, but 218 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: like there's another actress that's like, let's say miss pola, 219 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: but just the hair, the moment, the cape moment, like 220 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: the open thing. I've lived for it. Well, when you 221 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: say that Buddy is timeless, is unchanging as constant, how 222 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: does that square with the way that you know you 223 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: change as a human being? Like is that? I don't know? 224 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: How does that negotiator? How do I have to I 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: have to separate the two, like I I've got to 226 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: make sure that I don't inject too much into him. 227 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: I mean, of course it's it's it's a part of me, 228 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: but you know, I don't want There's things that Buddy 229 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: might say that I might go I don't really agree 230 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: with that, but it's a character. I have to let 231 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: the characters breathe. I have to let him say what 232 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: he has to say. And I know that I write 233 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: what he says. But there is a part of my 234 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: brain when I'm when I'm Buddy. It's weird. He's like 235 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: smarter than me, you know.

And I've I've earned it, 288 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: and it is true. It's like it's just I'm a 289 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: war van. I've earned it. So I don't care if 290 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: you go. You can't say that I just did. And 291 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: it's just a joke. It's just and and it just choke. 292 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: So starting out, when you started out and you really 293 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: were the first you know, gay sketch comedian, well comment, 294 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: there was no one anywhere. So what's the response women 295 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: but not men? Right right, very very different. I totally 296 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: agree with you, not even I totally agree. Now, what's 297 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: the response from other comics when you start to, you know, 298 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: have success in the hall? And I began, yeah it's ugly. Yeah. 299 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: And see when I was very young, even before I 300 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: met the kids in the hall, you know, I went 301 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: to acting school. I wanted to be an actor. I 302 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: wanted to be a serious actor and I wanted to 303 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: be funny on talk shows. I never wanted to be 304 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: a comedian. I didn't think it was possible. A front 305 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: comedian talks about his life. I can't talk about my life. 306 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: Who's gonna want to hear it? I mean, I came out. 307 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: I spent my whole life fighting the urge to kill myself, 308 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: basically thinking that I was the worst thing on earth. 309 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: That when I finally had the courage to do it, 310 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: suddenly you're hit by this this plague that tells you 311 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: that everything society says about you is true. So it's 312 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: just a double whammy. So I just thought, I can't. 313 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: And the and the homophobia of the eighties and nineties, 314 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: it was, I mean, you can't. It was breathtaking, and 315 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: I really thought that, oh it's gonna and and this 316 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: is what people have to know, that society can snack, 317 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: can flip back thirty years on a dime. You have 318 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: to be very careful, you mean, things can just switch 319 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: like that. And that's what happened. So I wanted to be. 320 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: I thought I'm gonna be. So I did try to 321 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: do stand up comedy, and I went three times to 322 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: open my um open mics, and you know, I was 323 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: so terrified that I wouldn't even perform as myself. I 324 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: performed as a manny coon who was I actually my 325 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: first character, who's a very masculine man, like a like 326 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: a like a bull, like a big alpha male artist. 327 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: And I talked, you know, in a real masculine way, 328 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: and I drink and I smoke. I really had to 329 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: cover myself up, and even so the comedians could still 330 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: tell that I was getting not went on on stage, 331 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: but backstage before I put on my you know, my 332 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: male mantle, and they were so evil to me. And 333 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: I remember they, you know, they would this is you know, 334 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: they introduced me as they said, our next comedian just 335 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: gave us all a blow job backstage. I wasn't even out, 336 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: so they immediately telegraphed to the audience, this is a faggot. 337 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: And in those days, every comic, every comic had a 338 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: faggy voice that they did. Every stand up club comedian 339 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: would pick if there was a solo male, he always 340 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: became Lance or Bruce, those were the two gay names, 341 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: and they would single him out. And so every show 342 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: is like that. The homophobia was just literally everywhere in 343 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: the audience with the comedians. And then the second time 344 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: I didn't do well. The second time I did a 345 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: little better, and then the third time, this is what happened. 346 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: I the comedian introduced me, and after uh my set, 347 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: he wiped the mic and said, I'm wiping the aids, 348 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: germs all Jesus Christ. And you know what what's crazy 349 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: is I bet at the time you weren't even like 350 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: fuck that. You were just kind of like, well, that's 351 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: what they do, that's what they said. I was both 352 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: because because the thing about you, Scott is that you 353 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: dug your heels even exactly, and because that night that 354 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: was a terrible and that was the last time I'd 355 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: stand up comedy until many years later, and then the 356 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: world changed. But I remember being called a faggot by 357 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: the Someone said shut up, faggot, and I lost it 358 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: and I jumped out off the stage and I knocked 359 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: their beers off and I got into it, and I 360 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: just realized, after these instants, I just can't do the energy. 361 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: There's no possible way I can do this. And I 362 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: just met the kids in the hall and I didn't 363 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: even really know that I was capable of doing characters. 364 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be a movie star. 365 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna do character. But I met them, and 366 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was love at first sight, and I 367 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: thought this is my future. And I realized, maybe in 368 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: a subconscious way, that I could bury myself in this 369 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: team like a hockey line up, and I could be 370 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: a great player. But I can only do this in 371 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: a team right now because the world will not accept that. 372 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: And so once I met them, that was it. I 373 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: shut the door on the other side, lovely. Was there 374 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: any sort of I've always been curious, was there any 375 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: sort of thought as too, because I feel like with 376 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: me and Matt, we have this fun little cattery of 377 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: queer comedians now and we're so lucky to have that 378 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: group in that and I'm thrilled for you, you know, 379 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: thank you, but just you too, not the other I 380 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: forgot their names, forgot their name, but it's best. But 381 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: then we we do share space with like a straight 382 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: comedian group, like there is this level of switching up 383 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: our code a little bit where it's like the behaviors change. 384 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: And so was there ever that level with with with 385 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: the kids in the hall where it was at the 386 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: even the kids in the hall, you know, everybody.

It was it 389 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: was a process. So then how would you pitch the 390 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: things like I want to do I want to be 391 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth and drag I want to do Buddy Cole, 392 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: I want to be a secretary, you know, like well 393 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: it was it was. It was a gradual thing. The 394 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: first person that wanted me to be a member of 395 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: the group was Mark McKinney. He saw me perform theater 396 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: sports and I and I was like a real wild 397 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: man at the time. I would wear pants suits that 398 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: would be slipped down to here so I behalf naked. 399 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: I'd wear strands of pearls. I glue cigarette butts to 400 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: my ears. I was a weird combination of everything. And 401 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: I was openly gay. That's when three nobody was and 402 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: I just didn't give a ship and they would we 403 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: would do theater sports. I was on the theater sports team, 404 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: and they would always um, if you do it's something 405 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: that they thought was untoward or you know, like too provocative, 406 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: they would give you a zero anytime anything gay came up. 407 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: That was immediately unacceptable. So I was constantly being zeroed 408 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: in all the residents. But they Mark saw that and went, wow, 409 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: that guy's a that's a punk and so um and 410 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: he was punk, yes, and so so he brought me in. 411 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: But they were not The others were not a board, 412 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: and you know, there was a lot of hazing that 413 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: went on. I can just let me just leave it 414 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: at that, and there was some ugly things that occurred. 415 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: But over time and when I basically I gave I 416 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: did Buddy Cole, I did fran I did Manny, and 417 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: I guess they started to realize he's got something. I 418 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 1: did monologue at the time, but I was very out 419 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: of control. I had no control and I didn't know 420 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: how to be in a group. And then but I 421 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: had a bag of wigs and dresses and they had 422 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: already started to play women, but very differently. But once 423 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: I came aboard that really that really because for me 424 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: it was for them, was a huge deal for me, 425 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: like it's gay man.

That's going, 429 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: that's natural, and so that that that kind of they 430 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: took that on in a way, and I in a 431 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: strange way are their acceptance of homosexuality and um, cross 432 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: dressing and all the rest of the things that we 433 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: did became a punk thing, a punk thing, you know 434 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it became like like a fuck you. 435 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: And and two guys that were so home it was 436 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: like like they would kiss each other and that was 437 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: a really fuck you to two men, to to basic society. 438 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: And so they realized that this was a kind of 439 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: a way to rebel and and so but then once 440 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: I was a boar, it was about six months.

It's better than calling it 459 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: a comedy special. Well, it's become this whole thing now 460 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, I just feel like there's 461 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: there's the special and you can have your thoughts on 462 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: the special. Everyone has their thoughts on the special.

It's like, Okay, 466 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: you don't like it, you don't like it, But for 467 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: her to get up there and be able to do 468 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: what she's doing, like, it's harder for her than you 469 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: straight white dudes can ever conceive of it, because you've 470 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: never had to have a second thought about walking into 471 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: a room and taking up all the space as yourself 472 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: whereas there's everyone else in the world, and it's just 473 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: like it's so it's so different, like to walk in 474 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: and have have to filter yourself and it takes such 475 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: a long time. It's just it's such a you know, 476 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: so I'm not surprised to hear that even though these 477 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: guys seem so open minded, it was still a process. 478 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: And because they are their man, they're straight man, their 479 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: products of their time, you know, they could you know, 480 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: you have to let people. Everyone's like on a journey. 481 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: You can't, you know, you know, I mean, people shouldn't 482 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: be judged by the way they were ten years ago. 483 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: For years ago, that's society. And most people just follow 484 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the you know, what everyone's society tells them to do, 485 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't know any better. And and you know, 486 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: but I have not they they we all learned together 487 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: and I had things to learn as well. But I 488 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: think what helped me was I come from a family 489 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: of five boys, so I understood how males behave in 490 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: a in a group, and I know how to I 491 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: guess I'm a fighter, and that was very important. And 492 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: I mean it might not be policuarly correct to say it, 493 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: but I think one of the things that made them 494 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: except me was they knew that if it got into 495 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: a scrap, I could hurt all of them very badly. 496 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: I feel that I could. Oh I think you'd be 497 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: like we would you go ratchy would Yeah? I would. Oh. 498 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Gay rage once it's unleashed, I'm sorry. Oh, it's the worst. 499 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: It's the worst because it's it's even because these people, 500 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: these people there, they their rage is so close to 501 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: the surface and they love it and they nurture it, 502 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: we bury it. So when it comes roaring up, it's 503 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: like a vein of lab that's come from the center 504 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: of the earth. Their vein of lava is just under 505 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: the surface, like right under Oh look at this piece 506 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: of loan. Look there's that lava right under it, said loan. 507 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: But you know, but I think gay rage is it 508 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: is a terrifying thing. I actually I've been writing characters 509 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: recently again, and what I'm realizing is it's easiest for 510 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: me to operate in a place of anger, and it's 511 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: actually like well not actually know, not any strong emotion. 512 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: Like a few of the things I've been writing lately, 513 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I can't do these on a set 514 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: together because everyone's screaming, everyone's mad and pissed, and I 515 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: was just like, what is that? I think, what is 516 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: that like? Sort of like I think maybe it's a 517 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: couple of things. It's observing that kind of like very available, 518 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: like masculinity in the world earlier. Absolutely, and I think 519 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: with gay men particularly, I think one of the reasons 520 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: why I've had why I've struggled with my temper and 521 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: why I have such a close relationship to rage, one 522 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: of the things is I made this very terrible connection 523 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: as a child between rage and masculinity, and I felt 524 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: so you know that, I felt so demasculineized that I thought, Wow, 525 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: I can't be a complete faggot because I'm scary to fight. Yes, yes, 526 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: which is not a great connection. That's that's that's the MATHO. 527 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: You know what's normalized. You're so insane. This is normalized. 528 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: The thing of screaming at a television set because the 529 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: sports team you do you like, like, that's true, normalize 530 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: normal What a crazy behave? Don't you scream at the 531 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: TV when the raw? Yes? I didn't always do. Let 532 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: me tell you something. I don't care if she deserves 533 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: it or not. If lady Gaga doesn't win this year, 534 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm furious. I want to burn the whole Oscars down. 535 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: Lady Gaga should win Best Act. Have you seen it yet? No, No, 536 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I've seen the trailer that we're talking about. I'm saying 537 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: it's because I know that she's close to the queer 538 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: and you know what, this isn't another thing. And I 539 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: want to get your take on this too. Did you 540 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: ever find that, like it was almost harder to root 541 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: for the people that were closest to you because the 542 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: spaces that were the SCEs. The more I love someone 543 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: the more the more difficult it is for me to 544 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: tell them that or to praise them, because I was 545 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: raised in a way with my parents that you know 546 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: that it spoils people, that if you get too much praise, 547 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: it will spoil you. And so it's hard for me. 548 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: I've learned. I've tried very hard because I was going 549 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I think they did a great job. 550 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell them because I don't get soft. 551 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm specifically talking about gay men though, Oh gay men 552 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: are the worst. I'm just gonna say that a blanket statement. 553 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: We're the worst to each other, just terrible, We've had 554 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: such a good experience because our our our friends in 555 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: the New York queer comedy kind of we're very supportive. 556 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: But then you go on to l a those games 557 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: are not supportive. But I mean, this is the thing. 558 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: I think there are changes happening, but you guys know, 559 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: as gay comics, we still have a ceiling. There's no 560 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 1: they're not one of us has become a star. There 561 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: has never been a gay mail, openly gay mail comedy star. 562 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely ever, there are no no one on Netflix never 563 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: and I and one of the reasons is us because 564 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: we do not support other gay man, not unless they're 565 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: in drag or they're a prostitute, a hustler or porn 566 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: stark hot even whatever, because we worship dumb and hot 567 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: and young. But if your talent, no, because every gay 568 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: man thinks they're a star, right, I'm like, I'm funny too. No, 569 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: you're not bitch, And I didn't mean to say bitch, 570 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: but I just want the favorite word. But I mean, 571 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: but you know, like people people assume they go you're 572 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: you're shows must be filled with gay man. I go 573 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: hardly a couple like I have. You know, I have 574 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: a tiny gay following, but very small. It's overwhelmingly straight people. 575 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: But we don't support ourselves. So how can a community 576 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't support, that isn't supported by its community ever 577 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: supposed to reach that level? Like all we do is 578 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: support women, like we just will not go see a 579 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: male gay mail make us laugh, only a woman. And 580 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of tragic, is you know? It's 581 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: not even a thing of like there's not enough. There's 582 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: not enough support to go around, because the women deserve 583 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: the support that we give them. But also they got 584 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: Scott Scott right, got enough, you know what? You know what, No, 585 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: don't top it up. You're filled to the brim, you 586 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: know what. In fact, I see your meniscus, I see you. 587 00:31:51,760 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: You know Daddy Zealand we thought she was over, No, 588 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: she was bad. She's bad and good for her. I'm 589 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: just kidding. I did you mentioned this? You mentioned may 590 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: actually one thing before It sounds like I've completely sunk 591 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: into bitterness, which the idea that I am starting to 592 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: see gay man coming. There's always been a few gay men, 593 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: gay men of my generation and below well who followed 594 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: the kids in the hall. But now I'm starting to 595 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: see young ones like you guys that are coming, and 596 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: that thrills me to death because I'm like going, maybe 597 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: they're going, maybe this generation might be able to not 598 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: hate themselves so deeply. I want you to know that 599 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: that it's changing. I I want you to know from me, 600 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: from my heart that it's changing.

It's it's real. Well, 674 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: let me just say this. You said, um, I never 675 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: found something along the lines of I never thought that 676 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: I always knew that being the first to do something 677 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: was was never gonna get me the attention or the 678 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: money or whatever. It's it's always the third person. Yeah, seconds, 679 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: the real loser position because third gets the money and 680 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: the attention and the and the and the race first 681 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: is nothing like you know, you look at the Right Brothers. 682 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 1: There was something before the Right Brothers. There was someone 683 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: that did there's always the way. But at the time, 684 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: maybe when I said that, I was pretending to be 685 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: philosophical about it and pretending that I knew it was 686 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: going to be like that, but I did not. At 687 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: the time, I thought, oh my god, once people get 688 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: a load of what I'm doing, and once the gay 689 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: community sees what I'm doing, I'm my feet are never 690 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: gonna touch the ground. I'm gonna be carried on a 691 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: litter by gay man. Every gay man I want to sleep, 692 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: we will just go what do you want to do 693 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: to me? And they chake my arm. It just didn't happen, 694 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: and it was like such a huge fall from me, 695 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: and it broke my heart, Like I went, not only 696 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 1: did it not happen, the opposite happened, and that broke 697 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: my heart. In fact, not only did people not support, 698 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: but there was this concerted effort I really believe to 699 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: stop me and and a lot of gay men doing it. 700 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: And that broke my heart. See. But then like just 701 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: I read that quote and I and that that upset 702 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: me in this way where I was like, I want 703 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: to correct I don't have the power or whatever the 704 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: influence to do this, but I want to correct that somehow. 705 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: Like I like we were telling people, we were telling 706 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: our close friends like, oh, you've Scott Thompson on this 707 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: Sunday and they lit up there like, oh my god, 708 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: what a huge deal. Like they're like, at least at 709 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: least you always will have I think you should be 710 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: you don't have that respect? Yeah, I think I think 711 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: you can like dine on on that for that. And 712 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the other thing. It's not like, you know, 713 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: I didn't. It's not like I was broke or anything, 714 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: you know. And I've managed worked on television, I've worked 715 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: and I've coppled together a career and I've done whatever 716 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: I had to do. As I thought, why can't I 717 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: go to the next level? And I and I'll be honest, 718 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: there was a period in my life when I was 719 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: consumed by bitterness consumed and then I got sick. Man, 720 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: I went, this isn't killing me. You think it was 721 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: part of it? Absolutely? Wow, I absolutely do so and 722 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: so now and now it's true, like I'm going and 723 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: I meant, but when I was young, and I'm with 724 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: Paul Baldy, who's like, you know, when you're when you're 725 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: an old man, maybe that's when people will get and 726 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm not old yet, but I'm you know, I'm not 727 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: young anymore. But I thought, yeah, maybe I have to wait, 728 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to wait. Yeah, I mean, yeah, 729 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: Now here's another question. It's like, of course there's this 730 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: jealousy aspect. You know, gay men, like I think a 731 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: lot of like what makes us us is, you know, 732 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: we duly look up to women. We look up to 733 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: these actresses and prop stars and glamorous singers and divas 734 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: and icons, and when we see that one of us 735 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: gets close to that, I think, of course there is 736 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: that thing of jealousy. But do you also think that 737 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: a part of it is protection and wanting to be like, well, 738 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: that he's going to tell that story and then everyone's 739 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: gonna think that's all of our stories. Yes. Absolutely, It's 740 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: like I think a lot of the reason many people 741 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: in the gay community did not like me and continue 742 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: did not like me, was that it was a sense 743 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: of like, oh, he's he's spilling secrets, he's telling about 744 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: the darkness, he's you know and everybody and I think that, 745 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,959 Speaker 1: and they're like, how dare he? He's making us look bad? 746 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: And so they didn't. They didn't like that. It's hard 747 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: to have a sense of humor about yourself when you've 748 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: been attacked by I guess like the straight man for 749 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: so long. So then they see like, uh, look, he's 750 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: proving them right, and they because we can't see ourselves 751 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: as these comedic creatures. And I think that's one of 752 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: the reasons I think gay men love female comics so much, 753 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: is because female comics feed our delusion that we're fabulous. 754 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: They'll see all of our dysfunction and our ugliness and go, 755 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: it's so fabulous that they're cheating on each other, How 756 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: fabulous that they overdosed or whatever. And I mean they 757 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: feed our delusion. It's an external validation, yes, and they're all, 758 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: you're all so fabulous boys, Like when pathy my my 759 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: gaze or whatever, it's like, you know what, I mean 760 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: like and and and I don't do that. I'm like, no, 761 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: we're it's screwed up, maybe more screwed up than anywhere. 762 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: And I don't take any prisoners. And I don't spare 763 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like spare gay people because you know, like, well, 764 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't want people to know how screwed up we are, 765 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: because that's not what comedy does. Comedy is about approaching 766 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: the darkness, bringing stuff out into the light and letting 767 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: people look at it. That's the kind of comedy that 768 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: I love. And God's not that scary. So but you 769 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: got I mean, for a gay man in my general 770 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: what the darkness was, it was definitely the nasgool We're 771 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: at the door, like on the list. Look you're not 772 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: on the list. Look. Uh there was this I mentioned this. Uh, 773 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,439 Speaker 1: I mean this might have been when we talked about 774 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: crazy jations on patron But there's this article that came out, 775 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: uh this this right up, this whatever think piece that 776 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: said it's time to forgive the Joy Luck Club And 777 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: it was all about how for twenty five years, the 778 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: Joy Luck Club was the only thing that because Asian 779 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: people turn their backs on it. They were like, this 780 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: does not represent us. This, This is not who we are. 781 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: This is such a specific experience that does not represent 782 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: the entire exactly. And this is the thing about being first, 783 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,240 Speaker 1: or being the only thing that's representative of a community 784 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: or or an experiences that you cannot be saddled with 785 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: all of this expectation and this responsibility, and um, god, 786 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: like it sucks that it just there always has to 787 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: be I'm not saying that this was you, but there 788 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: always has to be that one thing that is the 789 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: pincushion for everyone else's bullshit. Like I think, I think 790 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: that's what we have to sort of get past. And 791 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: like I think in order to write this, like we 792 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: have to just sort of like honor the like the 793 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: like like those things in the past. And I don't know, 794 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 1: and it's a conscious decision to change that way of thinking, 795 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. This thing that represents you 796 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: is not attacking your killing. It doesn't occupy one space. 797 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: And I think if there's something that's good about like 798 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: the way that the entertainment industry has expanded in social 799 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: media and all these like different kind of spaces, is 800 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: now there is so much room and so many platforms, 801 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: you gotta fill it. With something and and there's only 802 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: so many of these like voices that have filled the 803 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: you know, previously small spaces. And now that's like if 804 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: you want, if you want gay content, there are networks 805 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 1: for that where that where that is obviously they should 806 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: be on every network. But you know, like it's something 807 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it's a mind funck speaking 808 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: of speaking of that, sort of speaking of sort of 809 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: this fox the mind, the mind speaking of content. I 810 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: guess well, we we ask all of our guests this question, 811 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: which is what was the culture that made you say 812 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 1: culture is for me? Matt? Do you want to explain that? 813 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: The questions? Okay, so this is um, you know, this 814 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: is the It could be a movie, it could be 815 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,760 Speaker 1: a piece of music, could be a particular person in culture, 816 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: or just like you know, just your some own things, 817 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: an upbringing that culturally made you to say, Okay, this 818 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: is who I am. I'm stepping into culture as me 819 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: and it was this defining thing that made me that way? 820 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: You mean, like, what do you mean? I like for 821 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: people that have different kinds of answers to this question, 822 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: For example, on any given deck, it's say growing up 823 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: on Lyle and that really formed me, or I could say, um, 824 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: I really got obsessed with the reality show Survivor and 825 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: that made me the person I am, like whatever things like, 826 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: it's it's a broad question, it's very broad. But even 827 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,720 Speaker 1: like were you even like a Canadian upbringing? For example, 828 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: right y, yeah, yeah, what about you and your Canadian upbringing? 829 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: Was there anything specifically Canadian?

Oh, you can 891 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,760 Speaker 1: make an argument about that. Turners out there making that argument. 892 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: Interview interview, talk about like a gay icon. That's when 893 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: we forgot. The children are forgotten, Kathleen. Have we need 894 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: to remind them? We do? We do? We need to 895 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: remind them. She reminds you she's also just a a rabbit. People, 896 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 1: come on, have some respect. Respect. Now. That's interesting that 897 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned Philip Wilson, because I feel like, and it's 898 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: interesting that you been forgotten. He's well, yes, that and 899 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: even I don't I would admit that I don't have 900 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: that familiarity with Flip right with Fhip Wilson. But the 901 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: fact that you mentioned the drag aspect and that you 902 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: and that like that goes like you compare that to you, 903 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: maybe the way that the other kids in the hall 904 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: conceived of drag is maybe more of like a Monty Python. 905 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you were probably the one to elevate that out 906 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: of this, like, well, yeah, I didn't think if it's 907 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: a caricature. And I think from the day when we 908 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: were like and I don't know if it was really 909 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 1: me that I think they all kind of when they 910 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: first started doing women, they all wanted to just play 911 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: women as women. And you know, I'd love to claim 912 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: that for myself. And I think maybe maybe helped them 913 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: deep in it, like I helped them in a way 914 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 1: maybe like let go of that kind of like masculine. 915 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: I gotta like, you know, like a movie like like 916 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 1: Too Long Food for example, you know, like the way 917 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: that Wesley Snipes telegraphs thes with his guns that remember 918 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: I'm still a man, or like we we didn't want 919 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: any of that telegraphs and we wanted to like completely 920 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: submerge ourselves into our characters. And uh, but definitely I 921 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 1: think we're not like Monty Python. We are very much 922 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: like Monty Python. But in terms of the portrayal of women, 923 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: we took it further. There were we didn't have screechy voices. 924 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they used to do some women that were 925 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: pretty damn real, but most of the women were more 926 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: caricature and um we were. And when we first got 927 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: on television, our our first wardrobe person who did not 928 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: work out all of our female costumes. She tried to 929 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,280 Speaker 1: make them like all like like silly, like big tips, dragging. 930 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 1: We were like and we were fewer. We're like, no, 931 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: we're not doing it. We go and then she we 932 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: we'd work on something. Oh that's she goes, it's boring 933 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: and looking. Yeah, it's a boring woman. Yeah, this is 934 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,879 Speaker 1: not and this is it's a real woman, or it's 935 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: the portrayal women are women aren't fabulous? A woman that 936 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: you would see on the street like oh yeah. And 937 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: that was a profound I mean that was one of 938 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: the greatest journeys that we all took, that journey into 939 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: like gender, like, wow, this is fun. Do you think 940 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: that had you not been on the group, maybe they 941 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have got there. You might not gotten as far. 942 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: They wouldn't have gone as far, because with you, it's 943 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: like secretary sketch. I feel like Bruce was. It was 944 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 1: a Bruce, you and Bruce and Bruce. Bruce put on 945 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: some sort of feminine affect, which is fine, Like it 946 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: worked for the characters. For you, like you don't you 947 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: didn't really change like Kathy anything. I used my voice. 948 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: I I lightened it a little bit, barely barely, but 949 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: as a secretary, not as like a woman, know what 950 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean. You're playing the secretary, You're not playing a woman. 951 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: And Cathy's not overtly feminine. She's kind of an alpha 952 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,439 Speaker 1: female and she asked the questions. Yeah, but it's true. 953 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: Like but with me and Bruce, the balance each one. 954 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,280 Speaker 1: I think he made me funnier in terms of Cathy's funny, 955 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 1: but she's she's she's you know, she's not. Bruce's character 956 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: is much more overtly funny. But I think Mike Kathy 957 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: made Bruce is more realistic. And those two they were 958 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: yin and yang, and they really matched each other. And 959 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: but but Mike Kathy came about through him. His Kathy 960 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: was first, and then my cat, I my Kathy came 961 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: after and then that's when the but the secretary is 962 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,439 Speaker 1: actually that's the secretaries were actually kind of born all 963 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,080 Speaker 1: at once in a weird way, because it was in 964 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: the very first piece called which was about turning over, 965 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 1: and it was the first time all five of us 966 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: were in Dragon. It was a very remarkable moment and 967 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,879 Speaker 1: it was about five secretaries and I don't even think 968 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: and then we took on. They weren't really people yet, right, 969 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: Bruce's was starting to be a person.

Bruce is like, oh my god, 974 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 1: what's going on? I'm about to turnover? And it was 975 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 1: like a turnover and it was basically like a clock 976 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: when it goes from like three fifty nine to four, 977 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,320 Speaker 1: and she had at the back of her head and 978 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,399 Speaker 1: then was she turned over and we all were giving 979 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 1: her birthday party.

But it's so true because like 995 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: these small shifts that happened just when you put the 996 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: wig I got. I had to do it actually at 997 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 1: the at the Duplex, no way, not the dupe. Yes, 998 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: I did years ago. Lived and um she she's I 999 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: would get in the full dress and I guess they 1000 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 1: were like go go boots. They weren't even heels. It 1001 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: couldn't find anything for me. I had the wig and 1002 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: she was like, wow, you really change when you put 1003 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: that on, and it was weird. I got very self 1004 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: conscious about it because I was five years younger than 1005 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: I am now six years younger, and it was like, 1006 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: oh no, like am I revealing something about myself? Or 1007 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: am I too good at this? Or like and it's 1008 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: this thing like I understand, you know what I mean, 1009 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: where it's like you want to take yourself seriously and 1010 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: the world has made you think that you can't be 1011 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 1: serious doing this thing, you know what I mean? Like, 1012 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of like that. As 1013 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,800 Speaker 1: a gay actor, gay performer, gay comedian, I think we 1014 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: all kind of like have the same dreams and goals 1015 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: as anyone else that's in the entertainment. And should you 1016 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: want to have like a mainstream career, you want to 1017 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 1: be mainstreams. So when you find like a niche or 1018 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: a or a success or a skill in doing something 1019 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 1: that's historically not that the fact that's drags literally outside 1020 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 1: the mainstream makes fun of the mainstream, yes, you're like, 1021 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 1: oh no, naturally, like what are my real So it 1022 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,960 Speaker 1: was this moment of like she was trying to compliment 1023 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: me and be like, wow, you're really the character. That's great, 1024 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: But it was this thing in my head like the 1025 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 1: gay man inside of me was like, yeah, well, I 1026 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: remember the first time I started doing Buddy Cole, I've 1027 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: never done I'd never done that gay accent before me. All, 1028 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: I think most gay men have gay voices that I 1029 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 1: don't think that's that controversial. I think most of us. No, 1030 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I actually don't know except myself. Come on, 1031 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 1: come on, these Jesus great. But you know, when I 1032 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: first started doing that, it was the list because I 1033 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 1: I what I thought, Oh, if I start talking like that, 1034 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: it'll be the wind will change, and it'll be like 1035 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: that for the rest of my life. And I was 1036 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: terrified of doing that, like I would never ever imitate 1037 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: that because I always thought, well, I've spent my whole 1038 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: life trying to pass, and I've spent my whole life 1039 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: trying to present his masculine that I can't do that 1040 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: because then all of the defenses will fall away and 1041 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 1: I'll be revealed as a shrieking queen. What a fascinating 1042 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: experience to like that. We all kind of snare, which 1043 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 1: is to become, be born, grow into yourself, realize that's horrible, 1044 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: and then create this other person that you are existing 1045 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: that from seven, eight, nine, ten years, which is what 1046 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: how long I did, and then have to re establish 1047 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 1: and rEFInd who you are. You should both read. Have 1048 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: you read Covering by Kenji Yoshino. He's a yell, he's 1049 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 1: a he's um, he's I guess he's already turned off. No, 1050 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: he's a he's a he's a legal scholar. Yell. But 1051 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 1: he wrote this book. That's that's about the stages of 1052 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: coming out, of coming out, and then maybe of trying 1053 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: to like path of like having his phase where you 1054 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 1: sort of are trying to negotiate whether you want to 1055 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 1: pass or not. And then the final sort of freeing 1056 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 1: moment is I've never gotten to that, but maybe maybe 1057 00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: I haven't either. I don't know if I'm capable of 1058 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,439 Speaker 1: it any longer. Well, I think it's the final moment 1059 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: is just about not caring about passive. Yeah, And I 1060 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:11,240 Speaker 1: think you're saying that you haven't gone that your masculine 1061 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 1: characters aren't quite mad. I know, I think. I mean, 1062 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: I've studied men my whole actor. I just I love 1063 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: playing those characters, and I thought that maybe society would 1064 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: allow me to but they did not. You know, they said, no, 1065 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna play the newd fag who lives next door, 1066 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 1: who tells the main character how to live or white 1067 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: dress to wear, you know, and that's because that's how 1068 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: we know you. Yeah, and but you know in terms 1069 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 1: of like I had to because if I had to 1070 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: kill everything feminine in me in order to survive in 1071 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 1: a way, and I did, I wasn't very successful at it, 1072 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, like I mean, because I just didn't want 1073 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: to get beat up. You know, I had four brothers, 1074 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: I lived in a lived in like a hockey camp, 1075 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: so it was very different. And anyone to be a 1076 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 1: homosexual male at that time was the worst thing that 1077 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: a man could be. You were disgusting. I think that's 1078 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 1: that's I think something that people don't um understand is 1079 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: that you know, once you realize what you are, and 1080 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: you not only like do you get slapped over the 1081 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,919 Speaker 1: head with how much society hates it. It's they hate 1082 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 1: it because they're disgusted, you know. They don't hate it 1083 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: because it doesn't you know, it's it's not in their 1084 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: religious beliefs or whatever about that's a cover. They hate 1085 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: it because they're disgusted with the with the with the 1086 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: idea behind how we have sex, sodomy, all about sodomy. 1087 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: This is what people don't say you can't take that 1088 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 1: out of the equation. And that's why I think we 1089 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 1: kind of went wrong as whole. I mean gay marriage, 1090 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: but you can't take sodomy out of it. And that's 1091 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 1: one of the key differences between the way women are 1092 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 1: male gay females and males. They don't engage in so 1093 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: oh they can because their sex isn't disgusting, disgusting word disgusting. 1094 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: And I think that the gay movement has tried very 1095 00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: hard to distance ourselves from the from bayically ground zero. 1096 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: You cannot. We're going to have to face it the society. 1097 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: You have to face We fuck each other in the asshole, 1098 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 1: and you can't dress it up with love winds sodomy 1099 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: fucking and I my theory is that sodomy is the 1100 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: original sin. This is my this is my this is 1101 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 1: my ted talk. Please the It's the the reason the 1102 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 1: male homosexual is the most I think benighted. And I said, 1103 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: benight creature on blighted, benighted, lowest creature on the planet 1104 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: is because of sodomy. And it's the ultimate sin. My 1105 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: belief in terms of the Bible, in terms of the 1106 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: original sin. If you go back to Adam and Eve 1107 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: this is my theory about the apple. The apple is 1108 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: the anus that when Adam And I'm not saying this 1109 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: is a real thing, but in terms of these cultural 1110 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: myths and archetypes, here's my theory that I think of 1111 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: the Garden of Eden. Back then, they didn't have apples 1112 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 1: like today, they'd be little crab apples. Crab apples, and 1113 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,440 Speaker 1: anus looks a little bit like a before before it's 1114 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: been trained. And I think that one day and they 1115 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 1: didn't know what to do, God was like, I got 1116 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,880 Speaker 1: these needs to they got them in this little zoo. 1117 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy watching. They're never gonna have kids, so 1118 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 1: I can watch. And then one day Heve's bending over 1119 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: the water to like, I don't pick up a flower 1120 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: to put in her hair, and somehow her cheeks come 1121 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 1: apart and he sees that little anus there and he's 1122 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: like mom, and his penis goes up his snake and 1123 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: the snake wants that apple, and they he fox her 1124 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 1: and she's one the fuck he fuck, and they discover 1125 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: away to have sex without having children, and that makes 1126 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: God fear glorious because now he can't control them because 1127 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: now they have a way to have sex to give 1128 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: each other pleasure without procreation, and that's the original sin. 1129 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 1: So the snake is the cock, the apple is the anus, 1130 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: and so sodomy is in our subconscious as the ultimate 1131 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: original sin that God has kicked out of the garden 1132 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 1: of Eden. So naturally, the homosexual is the devil, it's 1133 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: the snake. Which is why this is a very cynical, 1134 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 1: pessimistic thing to say that. You have to understand that, 1135 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't think in our lifetimes where ever, really going 1136 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: to get past that completely right. So I've accepted that 1137 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 1: there's always going to be this level of hatred and 1138 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: visceral disgust towards the homosexual male. And in order for 1139 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 1: me to have a good life, I have to accept that. 1140 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: There's all It's always going to be there, and in 1141 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 1: order for me to to live in this world, I 1142 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: have to accept that and find a way to live 1143 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 1: with that and do everything in my power to change it, 1144 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 1: but accept that I can only do so much, and 1145 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: that society can only change incrementally. I agree with so, 1146 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: and that's why when people say, oh, lesbians, there's lots 1147 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: of game, there's lots of lesbian stars, it's not the 1148 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 1: same pretend that gay men and lesbians have the same journey. 1149 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 1: It's not true. And you've said that, uh, for for men, 1150 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 1: for the patriarchy, they view lesbianism as this thing that 1151 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 1: is somewhat more acceptable than gay male homosexually, I think 1152 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: much more because because it's like, oh, well, then you're 1153 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: after the same thing. They mimic men. So they go 1154 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: well in terms of in terms of desire. Right, So 1155 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: they go up, they move up the ladder, but a 1156 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 1: gay male falls from his perch and a gay white 1157 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: male falls the furthest because suddenly you're supposed to have 1158 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,439 Speaker 1: the world and then your your get your it's taken 1159 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: away from me. So you plummet, you plummet. And so 1160 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 1: I've accepted that, Like I mean, it sounds like nihilistic 1161 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 1: that I accepted, but I go, I have to live 1162 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 1: my life. I have to. And it's not like I'm not. 1163 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 1: I haven't given up, but I accept that there's going 1164 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: to be because also I don't live in a bubble. 1165 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: You leave the you leave the West, and you'll see 1166 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: what real homophobia. And that's when you go, Okay, this 1167 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: is on. This is going to take centuries. Sure, you 1168 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 1: know what's crazy. This might make me sound like a lunatic. 1169 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 1: I believe. I believeause you've been so sane and measured. 1170 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 1: And I think we'll see a lesbian president before we 1171 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 1: see a game mail. Absolutely way more. I totally agree. 1172 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: I actually I don't think that anyone will ever allow 1173 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: a game mail to love country. No. I just it's 1174 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: so interesting because like it's true, it's this thing of 1175 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 1: the disgust factor. And you know, whenever any whenever I'm 1176 01:03:56,680 --> 01:04:00,960 Speaker 1: doing Glad brought me back in Winds I will say 1177 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 1: this whenever anyone even mentions the name Eminem. I'm like, 1178 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: you have to understand, like the rapper Eminem for the 1179 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: listeners to listen when when he dictated in popular culture, 1180 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: and he was inescapable, and this is when I was 1181 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: like forming as like a so so the most popular musician. 1182 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 1: What people heard in their ears right to the brain 1183 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 1: was Eminem saying gay men are disgusting, disgusting lyrics about him, 1184 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 1: him using the word faggot. And it's the way you 1185 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 1: say faggot when you're a straight man. We can say 1186 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: faggot gay straight man, they say faggot and it's it's 1187 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 1: it hurts. And he would use that word and he 1188 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 1: would talk about gays and then follow it up with 1189 01:04:55,040 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 1: sound effects like and then everyone soaked that in because school. 1190 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: And that's honestly tremendous, tremendous amounts of you know, film 1191 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 1: and television shows everything, you know. I was also watching 1192 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that interview with you, and you could you couldn't say 1193 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,280 Speaker 1: the word tits, but you could say the word faggot, 1194 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 1: and they wouldn't. They would but beat about tits and 1195 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 1: they wouldn't beat about faggott, which just hates beach. They 1196 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't to me, they shouldn't bleep out anything yet And 1197 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 1: I agree with you, but if we're going to have 1198 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: standards and practices, Wow, is tits hurting anyone? Is faggot 1199 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: potentially hurting someone? Yeah, it's different. So this it's like, 1200 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 1: who makes the decisions about this stuff? Who dictates culturally 1201 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 1: what's happening. It's like it has been hard, it's tough, 1202 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 1: and it's only in the past I think three four 1203 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 1: or five years. Three to five years that's when the 1204 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: penny something changed three to five years ago. I'm exactly 1205 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,920 Speaker 1: sure what it was culture that did it. By something suddenly, Uh, 1206 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: we were at the tipping point and I think suddenly 1207 01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 1: society went it was like over fifty. It said, you 1208 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: know what, that kind of virulent homophobia is not cool. Yeah, 1209 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: and something changed, right, and who knows what it is. 1210 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a particular person in pop culture. 1211 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it was. But now it's like you 1212 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 1: got like this is actually kind of interesting. I'd like 1213 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 1: your take on it.

Campy, 1306 01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 1: and I've been preparing for this moment. I've actually been 1307 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 1: preparing a queen for the Crown that is a little 1308 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: that is more realistic than my queen, which I've been 1309 01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: watching that show. Well it's great, it's wonderful, and I 1310 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 1: be I mean, I'm upset and I watched I'm actually 1311 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 1: this embarrassing. But I've been watching a lot of old 1312 01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 1: footage of Elizabeth, which I would do anyway, just because 1313 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,560 Speaker 1: I want because I when I am approached by the 1314 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 1: people of the Crown, we're going to play the older queen. 1315 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: I want them to know that I'm going to do 1316 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 1: her honor. And of course we might have to wear 1317 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 1: a lot of like turtle things, you might have to, 1318 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 1: but you know what, I I'll probably make you forget 1319 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: Claire Foy. I bet you bet, you bet. You have 1320 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: a feeling it might be Miami. You know who we met, 1321 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 1: Um Matthews. He's very good and also very sexual. Energy 1322 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: you can do, you can tell, but like which for us, 1323 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 1: we were like, are you he literally one of those 1324 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,800 Speaker 1: one of those one of those straight men that is 1325 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: so secure that they can flirt with He wants Mickelson 1326 01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 1: from Pannibals like that, Yeah, just like he didn't care 1327 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: who wants to fund him. It's like, if you want 1328 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: to fuck him, that's good, sort of infuriating. I think 1329 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,200 Speaker 1: I was wearing something and he goes to me like 1330 01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 1: it suits you, and I was like flooded bedroom eyes 1331 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,400 Speaker 1: at both of us. Well, you know, he's he's got 1332 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 1: like he's got sexual energies. And I think it's interesting because, 1333 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I really love the way their relationship is portrayed, 1334 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 1: because they really get to the cardinal center of Elizabeth. 1335 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,920 Speaker 1: And I've always actually almost all my characters are pretty carnal, 1336 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:38,560 Speaker 1: but she's You always knew that woman was getting Roger regularly, 1337 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think so. And she made it. I mean, 1338 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I think she made it very clear from her hat 1339 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 1: selection and her clothing choices that she liked a little 1340 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: it a little rough. I think she made it very 1341 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 1: clear by a yellow hat she wore an ascot in 1342 01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:03,200 Speaker 1: nineteen that told us she liked it, and she liked 1343 01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 1: it when he pulled her hair. That was a one 1344 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 1: in Westminster Abbey. And I remember going that brooch says 1345 01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,560 Speaker 1: you like your you like nipple clam But I and 1346 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how kinky they got but to sustain 1347 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 1: and married that he was screwing around, but she could 1348 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 1: not screw around. But I think she knew what she 1349 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: was getting. She got a big Greek stud and she 1350 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 1: you could tell she wanted them, and he made it 1351 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: and he she said, you just got to give it 1352 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: to me regularly and I'll be fine. And um, and 1353 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 1: I like the way they portray their love affair. They 1354 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,720 Speaker 1: portrayed that whole you knew, you know that Philip, he 1355 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,840 Speaker 1: couldn't possibly be Why would could He wouldn't be loyal? Ever, No, 1356 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,680 Speaker 1: of course not. But I think she knew. But I 1357 01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 1: think you know, now I'm thinking about who is going 1358 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: to be my Philip when I play. I think they're 1359 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,040 Speaker 1: gonna get Um, this is a difficult question someone with 1360 01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,320 Speaker 1: a sharp No, who's playing Philip? Now? Who's playing Philip 1361 01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 1: in Olivia Coleman. I don't know if they that they 1362 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: probably have. I just you know, miss Helena is playing 1363 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Helena is playing Margaret. Yeah, he is playing Margaret. That's 1364 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: a good choice. It is good, whacky, but I think 1365 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 1: Helena resembles Claire Foy more. Yeah, the facial structure, I 1366 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,879 Speaker 1: think she might have to have her her jawline smashed 1367 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,839 Speaker 1: and rearrange. We might have to get fancial reconstruction surgery. 1368 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,679 Speaker 1: I think that Helena can't play Elizabeth because her instincts 1369 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 1: are too quirky and wacky. Totally she can't play. But 1370 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying in terms of resemblance. And then Olivia 1371 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:38,679 Speaker 1: looks like, uh, what's her face? Um? Uh, Kirby, would 1372 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 1: it be wrong for Liam Needson to be my Philip? No? 1373 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 1: I would Leah would? That would be amazing, That wouldn't 1374 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 1: be against the law. I'm trying to think of someone 1375 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,000 Speaker 1: with a gone to face, gone to face right right, 1376 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 1: someone like that's a good Oh god her maybe like 1377 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,519 Speaker 1: a not like a column. First I was going to say, 1378 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,439 Speaker 1: like a Pierce Brosnan, but he's not gone. What am 1379 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 1: I saying? Also? Okay, no, let's go with Liam. Liam 1380 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,280 Speaker 1: is a great Philip to you. I think he'd be good. 1381 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,000 Speaker 1: I think we good to go. But it doesn't matter 1382 01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 1: as long as you're as long as you're Elizabeth. As 1383 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,880 Speaker 1: long as you're Elizabeth, that is all I want. You 1384 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 1: have the windsor face. I remember, It's true like I 1385 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 1: grew up in a you know, I grew up in 1386 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: a large family I grew up in. My mother was 1387 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,519 Speaker 1: a very big monarchist, and you know in Canada, you 1388 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 1: know what it's like. I mean, she literally is. She's 1389 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,920 Speaker 1: the rule of cat, She's on our money, she's our monarch, 1390 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: she's queen. And I can't help but I feel love 1391 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 1: for and I know when she died, I'm not working 1392 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,640 Speaker 1: that day. That's it. Oh the whole economy of the 1393 01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,680 Speaker 1: UK is going to shut down for a sweet It's 1394 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: just really, it's just not gonna happen. It will take 1395 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 1: me a while to get over. You care about the weddings. Yes, yeah, 1396 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 1: it's miss Markle. She's acceptable. She's still breath of fresh air, 1397 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 1: yes exactly. But I don't know what we're talking about 1398 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 1: with Queen. I'm just saying that you you must play. 1399 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And it's funny because I and so I 1400 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,000 Speaker 1: grew up in this family where my mother would have 1401 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:03,760 Speaker 1: a picture of her family, had a family in the 1402 01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 1: foyer like our was small, and then a huge picture 1403 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: of the royal family. And and this whole time, people 1404 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,160 Speaker 1: would the kids in the hall Mark particularly would say 1405 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,439 Speaker 1: you look like the Queen. I don't know. And so 1406 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: Mark wrote this piece called It's a fact, which was 1407 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 1: about this little red haired girl that runs into the camera. Boo, 1408 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,400 Speaker 1: it's a fact. And they would do these crazy little 1409 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 1: fact things and Mark said, it's the fact. The first 1410 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 1: one was it's a fact the Queen doesn't know her 1411 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: A b c's so a b C d X seven 1412 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: eleven Chesterfield coat and it would be all like and 1413 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 1: so they said. So they made me as the Queen 1414 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 1: was a one off, and I went into the makeup 1415 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 1: with Judy and Jerry are are are makeup and hair 1416 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 1: wizards and they Judy Jerry was making me up and 1417 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,560 Speaker 1: she was like, what's happening. She was she didn't have 1418 01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 1: to do and she said, I don't have to do 1419 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 1: that much. And then Judy came over with the wig 1420 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 1: and they put it on and and and then you know, 1421 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,560 Speaker 1: Jerry and Judy like look in the mirror and I 1422 01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,479 Speaker 1: was like, this is weird. And I mean and Marcos, 1423 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,640 Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew it. And I walked out 1424 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 1: of the trail. I'm even getting chills thinking about it 1425 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,719 Speaker 1: because it was such I remember the moment so clearly, 1426 01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 1: and everybody looked and we went and I remember the 1427 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,960 Speaker 1: crew looking and going it's too much and I never 1428 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,560 Speaker 1: even practiced my voice. I never has a lot of 1429 01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 1: the kids in the hall. It came about as we 1430 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 1: were getting made up. We didn't we wouldn't even know 1431 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 1: how we were going to play anything. And I remember 1432 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,479 Speaker 1: the voice came instantly and I went hello, and I 1433 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 1: just started waving to people and I instantly became her, 1434 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 1: and it was it was a trans immaculate conception. It 1435 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,439 Speaker 1: was a transformative moment. And I went, I have her 1436 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,519 Speaker 1: bone structure. Yeah, I looked like the Lost Windsor. And 1437 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 1: I remember we had did a little piece and then 1438 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 1: we had some extra time. This net almost never happened. 1439 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 1: We were it was on a film shoot, one of 1440 01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 1: our our film shoots, and then we improvised this whole 1441 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 1: piece that came out of nowhere, which is where the 1442 01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 1: Queen walks the little red haired girl off the end 1443 01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 1: of a dock, gives her a bunch of stones, says 1444 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 1: jump out, there's guild at the bottom. And I was 1445 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,440 Speaker 1: trying to drown her because the Queen always drowned redheads 1446 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 1: because they were bad luck. Oh my god, I didn't know, 1447 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: and it was all improvised. It it became the credit, 1448 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 1: the closing credit sequence, and then from then on I 1449 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,680 Speaker 1: was off and running.

It's it's you straight because 1487 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't really happen at the gay bar, because we 1488 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,280 Speaker 1: have some sense.

You 1490 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 1: have nothing more to do than create drama by standing 1491 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,720 Speaker 1: at the bar.

I'm gonna doing that might be 1516 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: a little liptal controversial, but it's about the John McCaine 1517 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 1: related All right, here we go. This is Bellen yangs. 1518 01:22:57,920 --> 01:22:59,599 Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, And as time starts now, 1519 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't so, honey. People distributing this fucking clip of 1520 01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,560 Speaker 1: John McCain shooting down that crazy old lady at his 1521 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,719 Speaker 1: rally for colling Obama an Arab, and his whole rebuttal 1522 01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,360 Speaker 1: is no, he's a decent man who we just happened 1523 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 1: to disagree. I mean, yes, that was an okay response. 1524 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,640 Speaker 1: But people are lionizing this in this way that is 1525 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,680 Speaker 1: that is just trying to like, uh, lion eyes the 1526 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 1: bare fucking minimum. First of all, the implication I remember 1527 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 1: so clearly this day in two thousand and eight, I 1528 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 1: watched Matter that night. She made a joke about how 1529 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 1: while an Arab, an Arabic person and a decent family 1530 01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 1: man would never intersecting the same person, right, like yeah, 1531 01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 1: Like that's the implication. It's shitty, Like John McCain is whatever. 1532 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm not one of these people who's dancing on his grave. 1533 01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,560 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, let's go through different things in the 1534 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 1: highlight reel and say this is like he in terms 1535 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,719 Speaker 1: of policy, he pushed this through. Why go why focus 1536 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,040 Speaker 1: on this interaction that really just would be the norm 1537 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 1: instead of like heralding it as this gorgeous manner from 1538 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 1: the political gods. And that's one minute. I agree with you. 1539 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,599 Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is getting blown out of proportion, 1540 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: literally on both sides, because because it's like a people 1541 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,240 Speaker 1: are I mean, we're a day out. He passed away 1542 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:15,599 Speaker 1: yesterday recording this on the like he like people. Every 1543 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,760 Speaker 1: new side is like wow, remember when John McCain did this, 1544 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: And I'm like yo. But on the opposite side, I 1545 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: think that to insinuate that he's saying no, it's not 1546 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 1: an Arab, he's a good person is also going too far. 1547 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 1: I think that I think it's doing too far. And 1548 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 1: I get that people, you know, come for me or whatever, 1549 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 1: But the thing is he in a moment of this 1550 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 1: woman saying this person is a bad person. There an Arab. 1551 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: He in a political moment where everyone was watching, said 1552 01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,719 Speaker 1: to her, No, this is not he's not a person. 1553 01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 1: It's that's the energy. So people acting like him saying 1554 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 1: he's not an Arab, he's a good person. That is 1555 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,719 Speaker 1: not what he's saying. And I think on both sides 1556 01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: we need to cool it. Sure, I'm I'm just saying 1557 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: like there's like I'm trying to pull attention backwards, like 1558 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 1: everyone's building this thing up. I think that there's I 1559 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,880 Speaker 1: think it's so unfortunate that we're fixating on this clip 1560 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: as his lifelong life was, like you see, when there's 1561 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: other things. That's what I'm saying, sexation on the clip, 1562 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 1: and I'm saying it's not that remarkable. I mean, it's 1563 01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 1: good that he shot her down, but I'm saying, like, 1564 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:25,160 Speaker 1: like fine gold McCain, like talk about the things that 1565 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 1: he did in his political life and not just this 1566 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 1: interaction that he had with a crazy I think they 1567 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 1: should have focused on how gorgeous he was when he 1568 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 1: was when he was folks. Truly, I mean, let's bring 1569 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 1: it back to what's really important. Looks. I agree with you. 1570 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 1: I think it's this whole thing of like assuming we 1571 01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,240 Speaker 1: can have a smarter, intelligent about this one. We're not 1572 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: dealing with smart people. We're dealing with Americans. Oh sorry, bitch, 1573 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 1: we kept quiet, We kept quiet, continue to keep quiet. Okay, Um, 1574 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:59,560 Speaker 1: this is Scott Thompson's I don't think so, honey. No, 1575 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean no, because I don't really, because god, this 1576 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,120 Speaker 1: is this is okay, you know what, Well, I just 1577 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 1: say a few things that I wanted. I've had such 1578 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,360 Speaker 1: a good time and I feel like this might derail 1579 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,760 Speaker 1: me because I mean, I know what I want to 1580 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 1: talk about. I know it's going to be controversial. Okay, Well, 1581 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,720 Speaker 1: you'd rather save it for tonight when you're going to say, so, 1582 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,760 Speaker 1: this is historical. We've never had a guest decline which 1583 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,799 Speaker 1: we're which no, no, no, no, it's honorable. It's honorable. 1584 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 1: You think that the only exactly it's an honorable thing 1585 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,080 Speaker 1: for me to not do that. I think you respect 1586 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,680 Speaker 1: for Scott my rules. Who the hell am I some 1587 01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:44,920 Speaker 1: stupid queer? I think I think I said no, no, 1588 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:51,599 Speaker 1: Scott Thompson. I think that's punk rock is what a trailblazer? Truly, 1589 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not even being facetious like this is. 1590 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 1: We will honor this like, but I will say, any 1591 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,280 Speaker 1: other guests would be like, no, you have to know 1592 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 1: any other guest that comes on here and said they 1593 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 1: don't want to do one yourself yourself, you're not you know. 1594 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, of course I railed about other things, and 1595 01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: and this is, this is a thing where the first 1596 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 1: person gets all the attention, you know, not the second, 1597 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,360 Speaker 1: not the third. There will never be a second or 1598 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,560 Speaker 1: a third. It's only Scott Thompson. You know what, what 1599 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 1: what is it you say?
