Speaker 2: the one to create the content, just press play. So

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: true because every day we risk our lives.

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean politically we are in danger. We have made

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: so many enemies in a way that is of course brave.

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: Of course we're getting metals and we're being righted to

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the White House. But despite all that, it is scary.

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something that I've been thinking about? Okay,

29
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: what are the current politics of Like remember when it

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: used to be a huge deal to be like a

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: meme account stole my thing, and then people were like,

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: we have to go to Congress and we have to

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: get Gratitudeberg to comment on mimex.

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: And then they literally change the laws and made it

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: so now mime accounts will venmo you fifty dollars when

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: they steal your meat. Yeah, exactly.

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: But I am sort of like, I'm at the point

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: it's very self righteous and fun to be like, I

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: can't believe someone took my name out of this incredible

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: thought I had while taking a shit and put it

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: on their meme account. But then you're like, okay, but

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: then every but then I'm following Patia and I'm like, yeah,

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: like this is so funny. Share Share Share Yeah. I

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: mean I was so for the backstory on this. Someone

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: stole our meme and the meme that you created, and

46
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: you texted me today saying our meme has been stolen.

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: It was and by the way, I yes, sorry, I

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: was being there's as with everything we say, you know,

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: as we've said before, we're never serious about anything and

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: we stand for nothing. So you know, when I say, oh,

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: they stole it, I'm like being sort of I'm kidding, like,

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: what am I gonna do be mad at a meme account?

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: Well, you did sick our discordistas on them.

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Well, then I felt bad. And then I was like

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: because I commented and I was like, I sort of

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: joking that. I was like maybe tag us mama, like

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: I you know, which I thought was like a funny.

58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I wasn't tagging AOC and being like we

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: need to I'll see you in court. And then of course,

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 2: and then people started piling on to this person, who,

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: by the way, is not some big account. So I'm like, what,

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: I think we need to have a UN council to

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: decide officially there's no more ownership.

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it is sad that we are in

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: such a capitalist society that we feel ownership over our memes.

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: We need to let go.

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 2: We really do need to let go, because I'm sort

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: of that is. You just have to sort of understand

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: that if something if you're putting something out there for

70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: free and you don't own it, then you better believe

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: it might end up on a T shirt.

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: You know. What is actually kind of sad to me

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: is the idea of someone one day starting a meme

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: account and being like, I'm gonna try it, yeah, and

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: like post posting like six memes that are they're fine,

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: and getting like twelve likes, and their friends from high

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: school see it and they're like, I guess like Jeff's

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: starting a meme account now, and they're like, I is

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: that good? Like, and then when it succeeds, does the

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: friend like congratulate them and be like, hey, congrats on

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. Your meme account's really doing well well.

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: So I recently I shouldn't docs this person, but I

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: recently was talking to a friend of mine from college

84
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: and she is sort of it's like her sister has

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: brother in law something rather someone in her life like

86
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: runs a famous like bro dude meme like straight guy

87
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: meme account that's called like guy in a suit, like

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: you know, some whatever, and the whole thing is like

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: making fun of like bros in finance or something. Huh,

90
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: And I won't you know, I won't say what it's

91
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: called because I you know, God forbid we send our

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: legions of listeners to counsel him in this climate. But

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: the point but I'm sort of like everyone like knows that,

94
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, yeah, it's really cool. He runs this account.

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: It has tens of thousands of followers, and it's like

96
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: some aunt being like, isn't that cool what Josh does?

97
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: Is it?

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Is it cool? This is what I want to know,

99
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: do you George.

100
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: Like, obviously it's no, Obviously I don't think it's cool.

101
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: But you know what, I'll you know what I'll say,

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: and it's really depressing. And this sort of gets right

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: to the heart of the matter, is you know, in

104
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: my early twenties, mid twenties, let's say I would be like, God,

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: how lame that someone runs a meme account right now?

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: Because you know, I'm raising multiple children, I have a

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: career I don't have time to actually be online every

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: day and find things myself. So actually I have become

109
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: one of those people who's literally like screenshotting a meme

110
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: account of a WhatsApp meme and texting it to my

111
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: sister and being like ha ha right, and she's like,

112
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: I've seen this.

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's confusing. They are doing a service. Maybe, okay,

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: we need sort of a public broadcasting service of meme accounts.

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: We need a government sponsored meme account and that way

116
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: there's no profit in memes. It's hurely public service and

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: then it's good. But the BBC of memes.

118
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: Well, of course the federal government needs to get involved,

119
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: which seems to be our solution for everything nowadays. Yeah,

120
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: it's actually seems to be your specifically your solution to everything.

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: You know how I think the government should be much bigger.

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're well yeah, because you are. You have

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: leftist politics, and so anytime there's an issue, you're like, well,

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: the government should take care of that.

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: Because there's so many things that people are like, well

126
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Well I don't want

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: to do that. It's like, yeah, okay, let the government

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: do it. Like here's an idea, they actually do it.

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, that's that's what they're there for, right

130
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: to kind of take care of the stuff that nobody

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: wants to do. I don't. I'm not going to build

132
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: a road. The government should.

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe if we weren't literally starting illegal wars every day,

134
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: there could be meme accounts that were ethically run.

135
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, let's start there.

136
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, el god, this is such a

137
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: sort of it's talking about the Internet. I mean, who

138
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: has the time of co course. But something that is

139
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: very strange is like seeing these you know, it's like

140
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: you see these accounts, you follow them. Like an example

141
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: is that account that's like every outfit on Sex and

142
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: the City. I remember following that when I was like

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: in college. It's what a fun account, Like I love

144
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: every outfit on Sex and the City. That one's Charlotte,

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: that one's Miranda, give me more. And now I'm like

146
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: they have like a literal media empire, and they are

147
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: like holding campaign events for Cynthia Nixon.

148
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: They're on the cover of Vogue Italia.

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: They're literally they're on the cover of Vogue Italia, and

150
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: they are lensed by your conteller and I'm like, excuse me,

151
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I thought you were a meme account.

152
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: This, yeah, how did you do this? This is a

153
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: fake thing, and people really do take it as like

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: their artistry, and I'm like, no, no, no, you're confusing

155
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: followers for artistry.

156
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: Also, when people have an account that literally posts like

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: red carpet photos of Chloe seven you and then suddenly

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: they're like, okay, you guys, I'm launching a Patreon and you're.

159
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Like, for what.

160
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Actually, we are talking now about one specific gay

161
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: man that we will not name or say anything else about.

162
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: Ronan Pharaoh. Oh yeah, did you guys know that Ronan Pharaoh?

163
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: The person started out as a meme account that would

164
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: post gifts of Lisa Kudro because you heard it here first,

165
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: and it was so successful that he then became an

166
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: award winning journalist and exposed Harvey Weinstein. So you just

167
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: never know what an LGBTQ plus digital creator is capable of.

168
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: So think about that next time you open People mag And.

169
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: With that, I think we should bring in our illustrious

170
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: guests today.

171
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: I actually agree and I need both of their opinions

172
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: on the arguments we have just put.

173
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: Forward, Because there were many of them, and they were

174
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: and I think it will be hard to find a

175
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: flaw anywhere within them.

176
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, guess what, we're being so professional.

177
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm about to literally say the name of their podcast

178
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: so I can promote it. I love.

179
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

180
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: It's actually crazy. It happens once every eight episodes. I

181
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: would say, please welcome the host of Disantell, Sydney Battle

182
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: and Matt Ballasi Hi hi hi Hi.

183
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: So I run multiple meme account and now I don't.

184
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: That actually scared me because I was like, I'll do

185
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: it again.

186
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: You get that energy.

187
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow, that actually is That is probably nice

188
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: on podcasts and dis one another.

189
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: That's what we do.

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably the meanest thing I could have said.

191
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.

192
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: That is an insult.

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are all, to some extent meme account adjacent.

194
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,239
Speaker 2: I mean, we are creating things online.

195
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Like you have to.

196
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: You have to have the humility to be to not

197
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: think you are so much better than someone running a

198
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: meme acount of Lisa Kudro Gibbs.

199
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 4: I will never forget.

200
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: I was really humbled one moment where I posted a

201
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 5: clip from Reno nine to one one and I had

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: like said something, and then a meme account took that

203
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: tweet and posted it but did like crop out my name,

204
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: and I remember being like, why go through the extra

205
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 5: effort of cropping my name?

206
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: And the person was like, oh, I'm so so that

207
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: I took this clip that you took and put it

208
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: on my page.

209
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 6: Like you made this, and I was like all right,

210
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 6: Like yep, that's the last time I get annoyed about

211
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 6: something like this, because I cannot have people like this

212
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: making a valid point.

213
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: True.

214
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: I know, rock Bomp.

215
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: Little do they know that you wrote, directed, executive produced

216
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: Rena ninemue One cast it entirely in order to screenshot

217
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: it in order to make a famous meme.

218
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Sorry, I'm proud of my work as a child director.

219
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Like you played every character.

220
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: You played every character and guess what, it was all improvised,

221
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: and you improvised it like with one by one each

222
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: character and then put it all together.

223
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like Hollywood might need writers, but I don't clearly

224
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: because in that clip, I was just.

225
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you actually did all of that during the

226
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven strike and controversial.

227
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was scabbing, but they kind of let me

228
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: get away with it like because you were exactly exactly.

229
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 4: It was technically child labor, so they were all.

230
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: A lot of people, don't know, you know, the only

231
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: people that could work during the strike. Word children.

232
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

233
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 5: Just like the wartime, which I is part of straight

234
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 5: culture that I really think we should get back to.

235
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 5: Whenever I wear a jumpsuit, it is the most bizarre thing.

236
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: So many men compliment me on the jumpsuit, and I

237
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: think it's because they missed the factories.

238
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: That is such a good point, actually genius point.

239
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

240
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: And also when they were away at war, women were

241
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: in the factories wearing jumpsuits. They clearly yearned for that time.

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 5: It's ingrained.

243
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Men miss World War Two like a mother misses a baby.

244
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: It is is truly.

245
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have talked about this so much, where like

246
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: World War Two looms so large in our culture because

247
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: it is the last time morality was clearly black and white.

248
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly.

249
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 5: And we've still waited a hot minute you getting involved

250
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 5: in that. We waited a real long minute.

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

252
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: I do miss just doing hard, manual labor for for

253
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: a good paycheck at the end of the day. You

254
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: don't get that as a writer no, no, you don't.

255
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: You don't get the Rosie the river satisfaction at the

256
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: end of the day.

257
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Damn.

258
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: Imagine if no matter how many jumpsuits you wear, you're

259
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: never going to get the respect of.

260
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Those matter how many red bandanas you tie your hair,

261
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 3: it'll never work.

262
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 5: Imagine if that means something different now too true. I

263
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 5: see a red bandana, I don't know, I don't like it.

264
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Well, imagine if you ended your day in instead of

265
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: like an incredible new carousel of memes, you had an

266
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: entire car built. That would just feel really nice to

267
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: have actually created something, yeah, something tangible, something something drivable.

268
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: On an assembly line, To have a to have a

269
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: role in that process.

270
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: Well, builds community first first and foremost. Getting a drink

271
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: after the assembly line must be so fun.

272
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the assembly line. Okay, say that, you

273
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: know it's funny now all the you know, the whole

274
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: thing is, you know, you were at a startup, you

275
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: were at a company. Everyone is trying so hard to

276
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: prove like we're a family. We're a family in the

277
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: on the factory floor. You didn't have to prove it

278
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: like yeah, you're a family, because if one person doesn't

279
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: do their thing, everything stops working.

280
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: And also your children are there, Yeah, and they're working too.

281
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. In the fact, and you all have the same

282
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: like inhalation disease or something.

283
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all getting radium bloody consumption cops into their handkerchiefs.

284
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, take me back, take back seriously.

285
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: Ugh, Okay, fighting for a standing desk out we work

286
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: is basically the same thing.

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 5: You know.

288
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: They should organize a tech company, like a tech startup,

289
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: like a factory like now it's like pods. It should

290
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: actually be a factory of standing desks and each person

291
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: sends an email and then it's the next person helped

292
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: to reply all to the email for it.

293
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: That is how we fixed society.

294
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: This is how we fix society.

295
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: Like okay, well, I guess that's enough for today.

296
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: I was going to ask what everybody's role would be

297
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: in World War two?

298
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: Oh see, I was going to ask if you were

299
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: to run a meme account, what kinds of memes would

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: it be? Or like a single topic Oh really?

301
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, I haven't even darker question. Have any of

302
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: you considered it genuinely before? A single topic meme account?

303
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: This is a safe space, no, no.

304
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 5: Because when I was in college, one of my friends

305
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 5: created a Tumblr account that was like specifically memes for

306
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: our school, and it went like super viral on campus.

307
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: And after a while I witnessed how hard she had

308
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: had to reach into the recesses of her mind to

309
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: create new memes and to keep them churning out. And

310
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 5: I watched the quality decline, and I was like, I

311
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 5: actually don't want this existence for myself. I think that

312
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 5: would be really horrible. Yeah, so thankfully I was exposed early.

313
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: That's really nice.

314

00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: also thought there was a I love the danger of

475
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: feeling confused at the beginning that really felt fresh me too.

476
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: Right, And what made it, what made it fun for

477
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: me is that I really thought I knew what was

478
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: going on until the first question hit me.

479
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

480
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: Well, I also I really could sense the chemistry between

481
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: the two.

482
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Of you as co hosts, like you were.

483
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: On the same page but not being overly like Gabby

484
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: with one another in a way to like prove to

485
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 2: prove that you know, and also sometimes you agreed and

486
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: sometimes you didn't, which I thought was fun.

487
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go nine hundred and one. Does I agree?

488
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: It's a nine oh one that's really good.

489
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: The biggest enemy is me. It's a nine oh one.

490
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: Or one digit off.

491
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: I know, I should have just taken it all the

492
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: way there.

493
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: I prefer this angel number. No, I don't think it is.

494
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: What are angel numbers?

495
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: It's kind of whatever.

496
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: You wanted to be the same.

497
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, like eleven, eleven three through Oh.

498
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: I literally thought it was just kind of whatever number

499
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 3: spoke to you spiritually. You were like, I think it

500
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: is that biblically this number because the Bible has like

501
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: every number.

502
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: No, everye number.

503
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you really think about it, all of that. Wow,

504
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: it pretty much has all of the numbers.

505
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: That's amazing. No one's talking about this.

506
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: I've never heard that before, but I actually believe you.

507
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: See, this is why I need to the Bible. You know,

508
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: there's every single.

509
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so apparently I'm the only one. Wait, I'm looking

510
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: at him now, and there's cover to cover. There was

511
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 3: Actually there's a post by Matt Belliside twenty thirteen. Every

512
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: number in the Bible ranked on BuzzFeed dot com.

513
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at what came in at number one.

514
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: It's number one.

515
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: No, the number one number in the Bible. I feel

516
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: like would be three because of the Holy Trinity.

517
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: Right, Catholics.

518
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: I was raised Catholic.

519
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: We love three.

520
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 3: Is there a whole book of the Bible that is

521
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: just numbers? That's what it's called.

522
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: Book of numbers, the Book of numbers.

523
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: I think Matt and I are podcast Apparently there's a

524
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 5: whole folder where a producer just cuts out parts where

525
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 5: we talk about Catholicism because she's silencing us.

526
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: Are you guys, were you both raised Catholic?

527
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

528
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still practice pretty regularly. No, well, practice perfect.

529
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: That's how I use my meme accounts to fund all

530
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 3: of the tithe payments that I'm.

531
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: Making to the account.

532
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: Honestly, Matt, like, having a Catholic meme account would be

533
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: such a great idea like to make to be like

534
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: a sort of like young gay guy, like progressive whatever.

535
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: And your whole thing is that you run a progressive

536
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 2: Catholic account. I mean, that would go viral.

537
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: That's what I was about to say. Dimes Square funded

538
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: in the day.

539
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's just like when he when he absolves

540
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 3: you of your sins.

541
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about being funded by I mean, also, if

542
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: it flops on Instagram, it will thrive on Facebook.

543
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: No, matter what that?

544
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

545
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at the very uh you know, as a

546
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: very last resort, there is truth social.

547
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: Really thrive over there, really make a splash there.

548
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,720

00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: you say is the straightest?

552
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: So your podcast is?

Speaker 4: I am?

555
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: I right to say? It is about celebrity feuds or

556
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: is it broader than that? About like feuds of all kinds?

557
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: It's about society as a whole.

558
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Okay, that's amazing.

559
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's actually changing the world.

00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: Oh sort of like sort of like the Bible.

561
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly like that.

562
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Do you guys have every number in your podcast or not?

563
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: I feel like we've gotten to most of them.

564
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the producer always cuts them out.

565
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: Well, she was raised as a Quaker.

566
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Oh so she was raised on letters not numbers.

567
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly whatever by a monk and the Da Vinci

568
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 3: code was that is what she is?

569
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 4: Was his name like Silas?

570
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot believe your podcast is produced by Silas

571
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: from the da Vinci Code. Talk about a real Where

572
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: is he?

573
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Now?

574
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: Someone call a Buzzby.

575
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 5: Kate, our producer, did tell me recently that I do

576
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 5: so many bits about my age. That we did an

577
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: episode about the Dixie Chicks, which of course involved nine

578
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 5: to eleven, and I said something and the sound editor

579
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: reached out to be like, wasn't.

580
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 4: Sydney three years old when this happened? How can we

581
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: trust anything.

582
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 5: She says about nine to eleven? And I was like,

583
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 5: absolutely correct, Yes, I was three.

584
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

585
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: Also, the fact checkers on our podcast are so strict

586
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: that we cannot make a joke about anything because they

587
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 3: like that is not they will someone will sue us

588
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: from the grave.

589
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jesus Christ, Johnny.

590
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: Carson will come after us.

591
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: It's truly well, we can relate to that obviously, because

592
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: there are so many fact checkers that are like, no,

593
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: overhead lighting is not straight, it's gay.

594
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: I imagine. Wait, Matt, do you think that the Johnny

595
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: Carson feud that we just covered, do you think that's

596
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 5: the straightest one because he is a man being a man.

597
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know the other one he was feuding

598
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: with Joan Rivers, who.

599
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: Is that's very gay. And also, you know, you know,

600
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: it's like keeping a woman from having the microphone basically.

601
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: Right, Oh yeah, that's gay behavior.

602
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 5: I'm really trying to think about it because Azalea Banks

603
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: has that quote about how like anytime you see two

604
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: men fighting, it's a lover's quarrel.

605
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

606
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.

607
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: Want to try to We actually just did one. I

608
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: won't even say it, but I was like, the homosexual

609
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: undertones of this are so strong, and yeah, they wouldn't

610
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: they wouldn't let me say it. I was silenced because

611
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: we can't prove that they were sure.

612
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Wow, that is crazy. That's crazy. It's crazy that you're

613
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: not allowed to start like like unsubstantiated rumors on your podcast,

614
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: Like what's the point of having a platform?

615
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: I know, that's like mostly what we do.

616
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: I actually think the straightest one was maybe Justin Bieber,

617
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: like Haley and oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

618
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 5: We're diving like fighting over Justin Bieber's Yeah, that's a

619
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 5: really good point.

620
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: Fighting over Justin Bieber is very is very straight. I

621
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: mean I would even say that, like I understand obviously

622
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: the Dixie Chicks are you know, I love the Dixie Chicks,

623
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: we all do. But the Dixie Chicks versus George W.

624
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: Bush as a news story and as a narrative is

625
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: very straight.

626
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yes, there are elements of that story that

627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: are like aggressively straight in a way that's really really

628
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: concerning Tobe getting into urshop.

629
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: Don't He's not even visible to get He exists on

630
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: a separate spectrum.

631
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 5: I had never heard of Toby Keith's song in my life,

632
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 5: and I have like actual arguments with the writer of

633
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: the episode where she was like, there's no way you

634
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 5: could have avoided this song, and I was like, well,

635
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: guess what they some of us live in a wonderful world.

636
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: We've never known Toby Keith.

637
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: Even as you're saying his name, I'm like, I don't

638
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: believe he exists. I've never seen him.

639
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: No, it's like you have a picture in your head

640
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: of what you think Toby Keith looks like, and then

641
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: you look up a picture and you're like, that was

642
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: not the man that I had taught.

643
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: No, what's his most popular thing? Only? Yeah, what is it?

644
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: No?

645
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what. I don't know any Toby Keith.

646
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, the only song of

647
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: that general genre that I can hear with my ears

648
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: is Picture by Sheryl Crowe. And kid Rock.

649
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: What a song, talk about a classic, talk about a

650
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: classic play that at my funeral.

651
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: Oh literally, thank god, kid rock is not problematic.

652
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 4: Thank god.

653
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, stand up guy, nice love.

654
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: He's actually doing the podcast after you, guys love.

655
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: We have loved him campaigning for Bernie. He was so

656
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: incredible and pushing that movement forward. It's so great. Yeah.

657
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: I did just learn that apparently his dad is like

658
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 5: a millionaire or billionaire, and he just pretends that he

659
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 5: grew up in like the trailer park one of the guys.

660
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: Yes, Bernie, I'm talking about Bernie.

661
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Yes, Sidney, thanks for exposing Bernie Sanders. He grew up

662
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: and actually his dad is a billionaire he owns.

663
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Well.

664
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, dead ass.

665
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 5: Though that video that his wife posted on his birthday

666
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 5: of him catching that baseball that his grandson hit. Had

667
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 5: to pause and rewatch that fifteen times. Like the man

668
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 5: is eighty something years old. His reflexes are better than

669
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 5: all of them.

670
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: And now we're talking about kid rock.

671
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: To be clear, Yes, to be clear, I'm switching back

672
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 4: to kid rock.

673
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 5: Now I'm moving off of the generational wealth maybe Bernie

674
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 5: Sanders and now I'm going to kid Well.

675
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: This is getting I love how deeply confusing we're making it.

676
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: I always get those two confused.

677
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're twins.

678
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: Well they look alike.

679
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dix the musical, go see it about two other twins.

680
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: It's actually and that's based on kid Rock and Bernie, right, yeah.

681
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Jackson plays kid Rock with the long hair,

682
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: and then Josh is actually playing Bernie.

683
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 5: I don't want to take anything away from Aaron and Josh,

684
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: but yeah, not an original story.

685
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 4: It's about Bernie and.

686
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: Kid Rock, ripped from the headlines. Really truly.

687
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Yes, someone get them a fact checker.

688
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: They literally just transcribe it. It's so unfair. That's private. Yeah, god, god,

689
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: there's fraud.

690
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: Come on.

691
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah no, but really, go see that movie.

692
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, oh my god. Okay, wait, I feel like

693
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: we need to get it into our topic. So Sydney,

694
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you do the honor is because you

695
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: know we love to credit content creators on this meme account,

696
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: and this was your idea originally. So I would love

697
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: to know what your straight topic is and maybe a

698
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: little bit about what makes it straight.

699
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: Taking a nice drive, I think taking a drive with

700
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 4: no reason to take one. This is something that I'm

701
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 4: considering venturing into in my life. Maybe I just drive

702
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 4: to the beach because I want to. Maybe I drive

703
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: to a random, nice neighborhood and then I take a walk,

704
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 4: you know, just driving somewhere to clear my head.

705
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: See what I think one of the straightest Immediately what

706
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: jumps out to me about this being straight is that

707
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: the idea of driving being relied for me. As soon

708
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: as I'm in a car and I'm on the road,

709
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm stressed out and I'm I feel like I can

710
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: only allow myself to do that if I'm going to

711
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: a place and like I'm in a car specifically, I

712
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: don't have the like it's about the journey, not the destination.

713
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it how long till I'm there, Like,

714
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: this is a place where I am uncomfortable, and that

715
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: to me is gay. But you know that could just

716
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: be my experience.

717
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 5: No, I do think driving can be so anxiety inducing

718
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 5: because so much is outside of your control.

719
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: But then you get a little.

720
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 5: High off of the fact that, like, you are so

721
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 5: competent as a driver that I know if I got me, like,

722
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be fine. You know, That's what I have

723
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 5: to tell myself I'm like, I'm a good driver, I'm

724
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 5: going to be okay, wow. But I do agree there

725
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: is like a subliminal anxiety flowing under all things.

726
00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: On the road.

727
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: Obviously, the other high is like I could kill someone

728
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 3: right right, And you're like, that is a power that

729
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: you just don't have walking down the street.

730
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: I agree, And I almost feel like one of the

731
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: goals for many men of taking a drive is maybe killing.

732
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: There's always that kind of thrill.

733
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: It's sort of like, well, it could happen, Tonight's trill.

734
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: Fact Checkers hate this one podcast fat Checkers.

735
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: Also, I'm sorry this is a bad idea for me

736
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: to bring this up because it is a film I

737
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: have never actually seen, even though I've heard incredible things.

738
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: But to me, the film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, is

739
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: very like straight. I canon of like, I too could

740
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: drive and be like Ryan Gosling. And by the way,

741
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: all I know is that it's about driving.

742
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: He's like, uh, a trained almost stunt driver, a professional

743
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 5: driver for criminal activities. And I grew up with a

744
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 5: dad who not a criminal but used to talk about

745
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 5: how he went to so many defensive driving courses that

746
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 5: he does know how to like hit somebody else's car

747
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: so that it goes the way that he wants it to.

748
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 4: Tea and they do well. He was a.

749
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 5: Class so exactly into what his career battle. But he

750
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 5: does know how to like pursue someone and to hit

751
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 5: them in a very special way. And so growing up

752
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 5: with a dad who was he's a quintuple Capricorn and

753
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: he's the man who can prove astrology is real. I'm

754
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 5: convinced growing up with a dad like that, I do

755
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 5: see it very much so as like straight man activity, like, yes,

756
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 5: this is my specialty. I'm really good at driving.

757
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know what else, it's like, okay, a sort

758
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: of to be a bit gender essentialist. It's like a feminine,

759
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: let's say, a traditionally feminine hobby. You're thinking like house,

760
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: like knitting, you're thinking crocheting, Like you know, there is

761
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: something about the masculine nature of driving where it's like

762
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: the only way I can relax is if i'm is

763
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: if I'm also operating heavy machinery, because I can finally

764
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: let go knowing this isn't gay, Like I am operating

765
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: heavy machinery.

766
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: Yeah you're evoking Titan, Yeah, very much.

767
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 2: So, Oh my god, Titan. Sam and I saw Tuton together.

768
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 2: I mean that was really turning the concept of going

769
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: on a drive on its head by being a woman

770
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: and having sex with a car.

771
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I was about to say, especially if it's

772
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: a stick shift and they're like handling the clutch and

773
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 5: all that, they're having to switch the gears. There is

774
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 5: just a weird thing where better like see what I'm doing,

775
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 5: See what I'm doing, And it's like, yeah, you're driving

776
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 5: the car. Okay, You've made it harder for yourself, so

777
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 5: that the engine is a little louder, it was a

778
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 5: little faster.

779
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: Cool. It's also it's so invulnerable, like if you're going

780
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: for a walk, someone might yell yell at you. You

781
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: don't have like a wall, a metal wall around you,

782
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: like exactly someone can speak to you. But if you're

783
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: in a car, you're like, I'm I'm like I need

784
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: to be alone, but I can't risk being vulnerable for

785
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: even half a second.

786
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: It is the two It's this, it's the two things.

787
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 2: It's on the one hand, you are operating heavy machinery

788
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 2: and on the other hand, you are fully surrounded by

789
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: like military grade metal that is fireproof, Like you are

790
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: literally like, well, now that I am a transformer, I

791
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: can maybe relax and be alone with my thoughts.

792
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: Do you not feel that there are ways to be

793
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 3: seen as vulnerable behind the wheel, because I will tell.

794
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 4: You if you have a silly little car.

795
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Oh do you have a silly little car?

796
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 5: No, I have a car that's like a tank, and

797
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 5: I really think that that, like.

798
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 4: I know it's well made.

799
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 3: I you will never be vulnerable.

800
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 5: So that's it does make me feel really safe. Meanwhile,

801
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 5: I'm in like my friend's Honda Fit. It feels like

802
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 5: we're in a game of Mario car some ship.

803
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 4: Whenever it rains, like we're like veering over the road.

804
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 4: Sure you continue your thoughts.

805
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: I get self conscious when it's raining, but only a

806
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: little bit. And I don't know how high to turn

807
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: up the windshield wiper automatic babe, because I'm like, well, yeah,

808
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 3: now there's automatic vehicles. But because I'm a little bit

809
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 3: older than Sydney's only.

810
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Fifteen. Yeah yeah, you just filmed years ago. Yeah yeah right.

811
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, prior to automatic, I'm like, if I turn

812
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: up the windshield wipers too high, everybody who sees me

813
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 3: is gonna know how scared I am.

814
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: This is really interesting.

815
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: I really think not knowing how hard to turn the

816
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: windshield wipers is such a gig guy specific type of anxiety.

817
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: It's neither straight man nor straight woman.

818
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 3: It is.

819
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 2: It's such a specifically gay guy anxiety because it's the

820
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: anxiety of like, oh no, this doesn't come naturally to me.

821
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 2: I'm like, immediately they know I'm gay because I don't

822
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: know how.

823
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: I don't know.

824
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 5: I don't know how to operate my car. My older

825
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: brother used to do a thing where when he would

826
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 5: drive us when we were little, and he's sixteen years

827
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 5: older than me, he it would start raining and he

828
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: would refuse to turn on the windshield wipers. I grew

829
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 5: up in northern Virginia. He grew up in like the

830
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 5: Detroit area, Michigan. And he's like, no, no, I.

831
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: Don't need him. You don't understand because I grew up

832
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 4: in a different place than you. I'm from the Midwest.

833
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 5: He's like, look, I don't need these, and I'm like,

834
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 5: can you please turn them on? But he sees it

835
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 5: as like he literally saw it as a beacon of

836
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 5: masculinity that he did not need the windshield wipers, even

837
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: though it was a downpour and I was like, you're.

838
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 4: Gonna kill us. You are going to kill us so

839
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: that you can seem cool.

840
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: Well, that is insane, and I do have to say, I, yeah,

841
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: that's fully insane.

842
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 4: I love him, but that was I do half.

843
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: Relate, though, And I don't know why. I don't know

844
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: where it comes from. I have this thing with windshield

845
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: wipers in particular. Just today, I was driving a car

846
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: and it was raining just a little bit, and I

847
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: was like, like, I was like, I use them very sparingly,

848
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I almost use them as if it's

849
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: like I don't want to like mess up the windshield,

850
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Like as if someone told me once like if you

851
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: use the wind show wipers when it's too dry, you

852
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: can mess up the windshield. So I'm always waiting till

853
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: it's the right amount of wet and then I'll give

854
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: I always do it like manually, unless it's like pouring,

855
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: like I'll be like, okay, now it's ready, Okay, now

856
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: it's ready.

857
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 5: If anything, I use them erect I as soon as

858
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 5: I get in the car, I'm doing the little way

859
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 5: back just.

860
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: A dry white it's fully a dry summer day.

861
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 5: You're like, sometimes I look insane because my windshield wiper

862
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 5: fluid will get stuck sometimes and so nothing comes out,

863
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 5: and it'll be like ninety five degrees and people just

864
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 5: see my dry windshield wipers going across.

865
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 4: I don't care. That's I actually think.

866
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: More generally speaking, like attitudes around rain preparedness are a

867
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: really vital part of each person's personality. Like you know,

868
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: what I think is a big one is like you

869
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 2: you notice that it's about to rain, or that it's drizzling,

870
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 2: or that it's cloudy, do you make sure you put

871
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: on shoes that are rainproof or do you put on

872
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: converse and go outside?

873
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 4: If I'm in New York, yet I do rain proof.

874
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm going rain proof.

875
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I immediately do rain proof like m hm.

876
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: But I but the really.

877
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: Rainproof is kind of loose term because I'm not walking

878
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: out with like wellies or whatever.

879
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: But I commit to the wellies sometimes nothing.

880
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: I want to be able to ensure that I can

881
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 3: go calf deep in whatever. It's not even a joke anymore,

882
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 3: actually true, or it's literally like five feet underwater, but yeah,

883
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: the suede will stay inside.

884
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

885
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 3: Even grabbing an umbrella, so a lot exactly grabbing an umbrella, right,

886
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: I take out my umbrella.

887
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 5: Next thing, you know, I have an umbrella dad, or

888
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 5: I have an umbrella dad, where at any given time

889
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 5: he's trying to give me one.

890
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 4: I have four umbrellas here in La.

891
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what Dad's love randomly having a golf

892
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: umbrella even though.

893
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 5: You've never umbrella. Yes, yes, never played golf, but he

894
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 5: has like five of them.

895
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have another drive in going for a drive thing,

896
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: which is I feel like as a child, my family

897
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: would like go for drives a lot, and I think

898
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: there's almost something to like and I hated it. I

899
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: was like, why are we doing this? And there's something

900
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: when you're like a parent of children, I feel like

901
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: where you're like, well, what else are we going to

902
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: do with them? Like they can't be like being engaged

903
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: all the time. They shouldn't be watching TV for twelve

904
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: straight hours. Like I guess we'll go for a drive.

905
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: Does anyone relate it.

906
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 3: Went for a destinationless just literally just a drive like just.

907
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 4: To see town my family, but also.

908
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 5: We would like if they saw a house that was

909
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: being built that looked interesting, we would stop and we

910
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 5: would all go look and like explore the house that

911
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 5: was mid construction, or if they saw really nice rock

912
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 5: on the side of the road, like a big one,

913
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 5: they would lift it up and put it in our car,

914
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 5: and now that rock would be in our front yard.

915
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 5: And so we would just like go on these random drives,

916
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 5: but we always came back with something generally going.

917
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: I grew up in a fat family that we were

918
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: always going to get food if you were leaving the

919
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 3: house for anything. If you're going to go for a drive,

920
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 3: you're getting ice cream, sure right, you're getting My mom

921
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 3: just told me yesterday that my dad went to an

922
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: out of like several miles beyond the delivery area of

923
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: what their house is for hot dogs. And I was like,

924
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: that's not a food that you travel for with a

925
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 3: particular way. That hot dog is apparently, but I was like,

926
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: there's no way that hot dog was worth that drive.

927
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: But you know what, I think that's why they probably

928
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: haven't murdered one another. It is that my dad needs

929
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 3: that release.

930
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: Hot I do respect having a destination, like I would

931
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: much rather drive for a hot dog than drive for

932
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: no reason at all. And even like I was about to,

933
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: I was almost about to instinctively make the argument that like, oh,

934
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: I love going on a drive along the water, because

935
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: I do. I do like being in a car when

936
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: you can see the ocean. But I still don't think

937
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: I would do that without having a destination. I would

938
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 2: like pick like a place to have a coffee that's

939
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: on the beach, so that I have an excuse to

940
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: drive there.

941
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 5: I actually think that will help motivate me to actually

942
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 5: do more drives. Even though gas is now like seven

943
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 5: dollars out here, so maybe this isn't a good hot to.

944
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: Well you're actually pointing to You're pointing to. Another thing

945
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: that makes going on a drive recreationally straight is It's like, okay,

946
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: so you're just burning fossil fuels for fun. Then like

947
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: you're not even you know, we all have to drive

948
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: to get from point A to point B. You're just

949
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: as a hobby contributing to climate change.

950
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: This is actually a lot of straight hobbies. This is boating,

951
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: This is jet skis, this is mowing the grass.

952
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 3: Yes, very true.

953
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: Evlving you it's just like whenever, I mean, this is

954
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: not the topic at all, but when someone's in a boat,

955
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm like this is wild, Like this is you're just

956
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: dumping gasoline.

957
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: Well, that's how I feel about cruise ships, where I'm like,

958
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: has no one read the paper?

959
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 4: My parents went through a brief obsession with cruises. Really

960
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: did anyone else.

961
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: We went to one cruise, and when I tell you,

962
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 2: it is still one of my most intense memories.

963
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, tensions, Just.

964
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 2: Like I was. I was probably like thirteen. We only

965
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: did it once.

966
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: It is really impressive.

967
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 2: As a kid, You're like, oh my god, I'm on

968
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 2: this giant boat that has multiple pools and there's food

969
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 2: everywhere and it's all kind of free, and I'm like

970
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: making camp friends and we're you know, we're at a

971
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: different destination every day, and I get to be in

972
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 2: a cabin, which feels like you're in a movie. I mean,

973
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: I could see how you can get addicted to this stuff, right.

974
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

975
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 5: They like the idea of being able to see a

976
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 5: lot of places in a short amount of time and

977
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 5: not having to like jump on a bunch of different planes.

978
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 4: But I was never the kid, and I still am

979
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: not the kind of person who can make friends like

980
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 4: that on a boat. I'm like, I don't want to

981
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 4: talk to you. I'm not going to see you again.

982
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: I had the experience of making a friend group and

983
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: then realizing I was sort of the flop, unpopular one,

984
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 2: and I was like no. I was like, wait, I'm

985
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: going back to my mom exactly. I'm not going to

986
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 2: make new friends only to be like at the bottom

987
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: of the dotabole.

988
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: How did you find out that you were the flop?

989
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 2: Well, because the other ones were sort of like having

990
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: romances and stuff and I was not really part of

991
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: And then I thought I could at least right well,

992
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: I thought I could at least ally myself with the

993
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: hot girl and be like her best friend. But then

994
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: she was also being sort of stand offish to me,

995
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, so what is there for

996
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: me here?

997
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 1: Huh? Oh god, Well, I'm glad you stuck up for yourself.

998
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: This is basically what happened in Titanic exactly.

999
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1000
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: Wow, And they do you guys think I think this

1001
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: could go either way? Do you think convertibles? A drive

1002
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 2: in a convertible is that less or more straight?

1003
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 3: More straight?

1004
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 2: Okay?

1005
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh really I was gonna say less?

1006
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 3: Really?

1007
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 4: Why?

1008
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's it's less because you know, in

1009
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: the vulnerability metaphor, you know, you're literally opening yourself up

1010
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: to the world there's a coming out when you're in

1011
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: a convertible because instantly, you know, people can see all

1012
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: of you and you're you're at the stop light in

1013
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: they're you know, covered by pounds of metal and you're

1014
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: free and they can see you, and it's you know,

1015
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: it's socialist. Anyone can hop in your car if they

1016
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: feel like it. And I feel like there's such a

1017
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: a it almost begs for people to yell, you know,

1018
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: an f slur at you because you're you're so vulnerable.

1019
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 3: Right, and I'm that is less straight.

1020
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: I think that's first of all.

1021
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 2: I think that's very compelling and has really made me

1022
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 2: think my instinct is to side with Matt only because

1023
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, a convertible to me really reinforces the gender

1024
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: binary because either you are literally grind gossling and.

1025
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: Drive or your barbie.

1026
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: It's like you're gonna go in a masculine direction and

1027
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: be like a hot guy with a leather jacket or

1028
00:50:58,719 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: your angeline.

1029
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 5: Sure, sure, I only know the people I know with

1030
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 5: convertibles are straight men and like aggressively, so like car guys.

1031
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, so that's Any gay with the convertible is

1032
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: like a seventy year old dating an eighteen.

1033
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: Year old.

1034
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: One.

1035
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: But that was love.

1036
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. My my take was like quite literally opening up,

1037
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 3: like you can do a lot gayer stuff in a

1038
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 3: closed vehicle, you know, the stuff that you would find,

1039
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: you know, in certain parts of the internet.

1040
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh, he's titting the window.

1041
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 4: Hard top convertible? About a hard top?

1042
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: Then you can do it all?

1043
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, what about a hardtop?

1044
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: Sweetie?

1045
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 4: Sweetie?

1046
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: If you thought of a.

1047
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 5: Hard top convertible, is that what they're calling them nowadays?

1048
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,959
Speaker 1: Wow? Mywing up. There was an era when my mom

1049
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: had one of the like VW Beatle convertibles.

1050
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Joe, which was.

1051
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: So fun, but then she didn't like it anymore or something,

1052
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: so it became like impractical. And so my dad would

1053
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: drive into work and get like made fun of by

1054
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: his coworkers for seeming gay. And I was like, that's

1055
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: allyship like that. He kept driving into work anyway.

1056
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 5: Do you know the VW bug used to be like

1057
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 5: like Herbie fully loaded is not entirely mythic because those

1058
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 5: cars did used to be muscle cars, like my dad.

1059
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: That's where I was like, they could talk, Yeah, they

1060
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: could talk.

1061
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 5: No, that's where the mythicism comes in. But No, my

1062
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 5: dad drove around like a little VW Bug in the

1063
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 5: eighties and if we'll all remember, that's the car Ted

1064
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 5: Bundy drove, and he was doing all the Shenanigans. He

1065
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 5: was in a VW Bug. They used to have racing

1066
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 5: engines in those cars for some reason. This is crazy

1067
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 5: because of my aggressively straight father.

1068
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry to bring this up, but wasn't

1069
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: it like invented by Hitler?

1070
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 1: George? Do you think everything's invented by Hitler?

1071
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not looking this up. Sorry, we don't have

1072
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 2: fact checkers.

1073
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: But the.

1074
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 4: World War Two yeah.

1075
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 3: Volkswagen for sure.

1076
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well but whatever we've reclaimed.

1077
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: Next question, sort.

1078
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 3: Of that game of like whenever you see a beatle

1079
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 3: you have to punch someone.

1080
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: That's right, that's very straight.

1081
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: I can't believe you've brought it back to World War

1082
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: Two after all this time.

1083
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1084
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: I love when things come full circle. Yeah, I'm back

1085
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 2: at the factory.

1086
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm back at the factory, putting the putting the racing

1087
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: engine in the v W.

1088
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and nobody checked that.

1089
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: Please, just no, we don't have a single fact checker

1090
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: because this pod is you know about spreading misinformation first

1091
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: and foremost.

1092
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but with a sort of zeal and zest for life,

1093
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 2: of course, don't you know. We don't wanna, we don't

1094
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 2: want to. Yeah, it's it's joyous. We're not trying to

1095
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: undermine democracy. We're just trying to have a little fun

1096
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: for ones.

1097
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: It's sort of religion, you know, we're creating sort of

1098
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: a new meaning of the world, a new way of

1099
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: seeing things. Yeah, we're Quakers. We're essentially Quakers. Yeah.

1100
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 2: Well, any final thoughts on going out for a drive

1101
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: as a straight topic, I guess I want.

1102
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: To say one thing, which is that when you know

1103
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: how there's like that there's like a phrase that no

1104
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: one actually uses, but was on the internet. I think

1105
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: it was called like a blouse, which is like a

1106
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: gay guy who is feminine but actually is a top top. Yeah,

1107
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: and that's what the VW beetle is. It's a blouse.

1108
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: Hmm, right, you are so right.

1109
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 3: Actually whatever blouse in German is.

1110
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: Where I think Mini.

1111
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 4: Cooper this episode, so he can.

1112
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 2: Really Yeah, I think a Mini Cooper is still a bottom.

1113
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeahs are getting well yeah many many Cooper is no

1114

Speaker 2: I would love to see car first of all, Herbie

1116
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 2: fully loaded style. The cars are sentient, and the Beetle

1117
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 2: is the top and the Mini Cooper is the bottom,

1118
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:26,600

1159
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 2: It's it's sort of crazy, you know. George Carlin also

1160
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: does a voice in cars. It's crazy to imagine Larry

1161
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: the Cable Guy and George Carlin in the same room

1162
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: doing voice and doing voices for cars.

1163
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Larry the Cable Guy is the one who's like,

1164
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 5: you know, I think women can be funny?

1165
00:57:52,320 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it should we do our final segment?

1166
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 2: I think we have to.

1167
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, our final segment is called shout Outs, and

1168
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: in this segment we pay homage to the great straight

1169
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: oral tradition by giving a radio shout out to anything

1170
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: that we enjoy at all. So imagine it's two thousand

1171
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: and one, you're at TRL shouting out to your squad

1172
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: back home, but about anything that you like. George and

1173
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: I will go first, and we, you know, don't think

1174
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,959
Speaker 1: of these ahead of times, so we're just gonna Yeah.

1175
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 2: It's very I think that's part of it. You know,

1176
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 2: you sort of feel like one of those fortune tellers

1177
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 2: who has to think of something on.

1178
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: This Yeah, the fortune telling, I think I have for it.

1179
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: I can go.

1180
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 2: Okay, com man, what's up? Breaks some losers out there?

1181
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out to my friend's baby.

1182
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: I am not going to say his name because I

1183
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 2: don't want to dox him, and because he's underage by

1184
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: almost eighteen years actually, And but I have now met

1185
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 2: this baby twice and I have a huge announcement, which

1186
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 2: is I think he's smart. I know from his face,

1187
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 2: and I know from the way he from the things

1188
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: he looks at, and from the way he maintains eye

1189
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: contact sometimes but not others, because I can see that

1190
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 2: sometimes he's interested in something and sometimes he's not.

1191
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: He has taste.

1192
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 2: This baby has taste. I have not decided yet if

1193
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 2: he's going to be smarter in the sciences or the humanities,

1194
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 2: but I think both could be sort of fun options.

1195
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: I think that he is going to be very successful,

1196
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: and I think he might even be in politics, and

1197
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 2: so I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does

1198
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see him again. Shout out

1199
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: to redacted baby woo wow.

1200
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,280

1201
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: that you barely know.

1202
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: I just think he looks smart. You know, some people

1203
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 2: have that look. He looks mature for his age, and

1204
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: his age is six weeks six weeks.

1205
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

1206
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 4: I don't even think he can see anything.

1207
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 2: But he was smiling. He was smiling today and his

1208

1239
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 5: To those thick ass rubber bands that sometimes come on

1240
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 5: your grocery just like where they're binding them together.

1241
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 4: I love those. I love stealing them from little offices

1242
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 4: i'm in.

1243
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 5: I love house sitting for someone, and maybe they have

1244
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 5: a whole jar of them. I'll take one home. I

1245
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 5: love those rubber bands. I repurpose them. I use them

1246
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 5: to fold up chords, I use them to keep snack

1247
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 5: bags closed. I'm sure there are more feasible options. I'm

1248
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 5: sure I could buy bag clips. I'm sure I could

1249
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 5: do any of that. I don't want to. I am

1250
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 5: reducing we're using recycling. I'm saving the planet by doing it.

1251
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 5: I love those rubber bands. I somehow only have three

1252
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 5: of them right now, and it's breaking my heart.

1253
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 4: I don't know where to get more.

1254
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,919

01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 4: for right now. Oh.

1258
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 5: Also, if we're thinking music, Chapel Rohan's new album I

1259
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 5: really loved. I think that we are watching a star

1260
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 5: on the rise, and that's all I have to say.

1261
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 4: Kisses, love most of your.

1262
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Powerful. I love that that those bands are great.

1263
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I shouldn't have to buy.

1264
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: Mm hmm okay, Matt, whenever you are ready.

1265
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 3: All right, what's up? Horrors and dick Pigs? I shout

1266
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 3: out to Starbucks Ventie cold brew, cold foam, pumpkin spice

1267
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 3: cold brew. Okay, is it basic?

1268
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Well?

1269
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 3: Yeah it is? Is it the meme account of Starbucks drinks? Absolutely?

1270
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 3: Do I know what cold foam is?

1271
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Still?

1272
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I think it's just whipped cream, but

1273
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 3: they've called it something different. But I love it. I

1274
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 3: it's it is fall to me, and I will not

1275
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 3: apologize for that. Okay, having a little sip of phone

1276
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 3: having cold brew kind of sucked through a foamy bit

1277
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,439
Speaker 3: of pumpkin spice air. You can't beat that. You can't

1278
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 3: beat it. And I feel like she is she is fall,

1279
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 3: She is fall, and I would die for her.

1280
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: That was powerful. I've actually I actually didn't know you

1281
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: could do that, Like I didn't know you could get

1282
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: like normal coffee and then like a flavored foam. I'm

1283
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: learning so much.

1284
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 3: And yeah, I didn't know really either. But they came

1285
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 3: out their Fall menu and I was like, you know what,

1286
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give her try. You know, I don't want

1287
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 3: to say no. I don't want to be you know,

1288
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: misogynistic out the gay and just.

1289
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: You shut her down.

1290
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, I truly cold foam to media is a

1291
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 3: texture and like I don't it's not a liquid, a

1292
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 3: solid or a gas that sort of exists in between

1293
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 3: all of them.

1294
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 5: Wow, how do they even do that? Because isn't the

1295
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 5: foam made by Frothing named milk?

1296
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 3: Right?

1297
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they just let it get crusty.

1298
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 3: So that's why I'm like, I don't get what cold

1299
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 3: foam is not just whipped cream.

1300
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's a patent process.

1301
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 5: Be one of the lead inventors one day.

1302
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think Actually I really agree with Matt

1303
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: that in general, I think flavored coffee drinks are so

1304
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 2: much better cold. I think the big mistake people make

1305
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 2: is getting a hot like peppermint mocha or whatever. Like,

1306
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 2: I really think the flavor comes through in a more

1307
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 2: subtle way when it's cold.

1308
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Wow, you don't agree. So the flavor comes through a

1309
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: river runs through it. I don't know. I think I

1310
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: think I like a hot one better, but go off, okay,

1311
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to disagree. That hard to be honest,

1312
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: I feel neutral.

1313
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know, when I use it. In the Bay Area,

1314
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: this coffee shop Fills had this iced mint. It was

1315
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 2: a coffee iced coffee mint mohito. That was a very

1316
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 2: famous drink at the time. Delicious would not want a

1317
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 2: hot mint mohito. I'll say that.

1318
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 4: No, I'll say that, and that's all I'll say.

1319
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 3: Hot drink. It slows you down, though. That's the one

1320
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: thing I like about a hot drink.

1321
01:05:54,080 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 5: Is sometimes yeah, yeah, you're right, I can I know that,

1322
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 5: God forbid, I start getting between gays and their.

1323
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 4: God forbid I weigh in on this, so, you know,

1324
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 4: just learning so much?

1325
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think we've all learned a lot in

1326
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,840
