1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Okay podcasts now Wow, Hello all and welcome to Stradio Lab. 2 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: We're back. We're back. We haven't decided if this is 3 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna be our first episode to be released, but we 4 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: do want the listeners to know this is the first 5 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: time we're recording. Oh my god, we can't let them 6 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: in like this. We owe it to them, We owe 7 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: it to them to be honest and transparent. This is 8 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: our first time recording, but potentially we might release the second. Yeah, never, 9 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: depending on if the tech goes correctly and honestly. Based 10 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: on the last fifteen minutes, there is a high chance 11 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: so the tech does not go correctly. My god, I 12 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: mean personally, so many times that you're gonna open with 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: dragging him? Did I blame him at all? I had 14 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: collective responsibility. It was all of us making a mistake. 15 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: I didn't mention our guest's name. I didn't mention who 16 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: had to. We haven't even decided if we're going to 17 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: bring him in let alone, if he's going to be 18 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: the guest today. I mean, we stand by and this 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: might just be one of our extra Patreon episodes that's 20 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: just the two of us, but we wanted just in case, 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: like we decided to release that we wanted to have 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: a guest on stand by. Yeah, and we actually have 23 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: to um it's you know um and one of which 24 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: you know you might know from a little show called 25 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: Billy on the Street. That um, and we're sort of more. 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Sam, you completely frozen and decided, Sam 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: completely for like a full thirty seconds. This sucks in 28 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: my back. Yeah you're back. Oh my god. You catch 29 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: my iconic joke where you said you might know our 30 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: guest from Billy on the Street and I said it 31 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: was Julianne Moore. You I laughed so hard, did you? 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: That's should we just show we just call it a day. No, 33 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: we have a waiting room full of guests, is what 34 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: we're saying. Yeah. Some of the brightest minds of business 35 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: are here in the waiting room of our zoom today. 36 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: Some of the some of the biggest business people, I mean, 37 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: the people we have in our waiting room collectively have 38 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: raised over five billion dollars in seed funding for various 39 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: ventures CEO CFO CEOs. Only some of them are in 40 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: the entertainment industry. Many of them are in real estate, banking, finance, 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: and even the ones that are in the entertainment industry 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: defined themselves more by their business savvy than their work 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: right right. I always have found I can relate to 44 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: so hard. To me, being in finance is more artistic 45 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: than being an actor or a painter. I think being 46 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: a painter is one of the most unartistic things you 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: can do. It's one of the really forward things you 48 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: can do. You're putting paint on a cannabis, Whereas here 49 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: in finance you are like the creativity involved and literally 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: like creating money out of nowhere then using it incorrectly 51 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: and suddenly in entire countries in recession. Like the cast 52 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: of characters you have to assemble the ego involved. I mean, 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: it puts someone like you know who who's kind of 54 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: known as being a volatile actor, Kevin Spacey. It puts 55 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: someone like that. Really, um, you know, it's like that 56 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: that's child's play. I mean, well that's some rough wording. 57 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I just have to agree, I think, um. 58 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: And what's great about people in finance is that they're 59 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: really humble. You know. I talked to these artists types 60 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: and sort of like, oh, I was started thinking about 61 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: these themes, and you know, I was thinking of exploring 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: this and this and that, and it's like, just tell 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: me the numbers. What's it going for? How much is 64 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: this selling? Well, what I will say about the art 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: world is that it is part of finance and that 66 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: it is a money laundering scheme. So in that sense, 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: artists like painters can be artists in the sense that 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: they are literally selling their works to Israeli armed arms 69 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: dealers who want to launder their money. Yeah, I've you know, 70 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: I just want to know how you get in that circuit. 71 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'm definitely trying to break into sort of 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: selling something to some sort of Israeli arms dealer because 73 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to buy coffee tables and they're quite pricey. Well, 74 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: you have to. You were telling me in our previous 75 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: in our intro episode the other day, that you had 76 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to drive all the way to New Jersey to get 77 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: a vantage coffee table. If you were investing with some 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: arms dealers, I feel like the table could be sent 79 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: to you. I could have spent the one fifty dollars 80 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: on ship at the very least, I think, and we 81 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: we've touched upon this in the past, but I do 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: think the investor model needs to be applied to comedy 83 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: and entertainment more. How do you mean people should be 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: paying me? Oh, that would be iconic. And I don't 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: mean like micro pavements through Patreon. I mean like I 86 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: should have investors that are I mean international, that have 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: like a diversified portfolio. On the one hand, they have me. 88 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: On the other hand, they have you know, Randy Rainbow 89 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: or someone with like a slightly different sensibility. Sure, sure, 90 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: I've you know, I've always wanted. I have had a 91 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: fantasy of just being a sugar baby. I felt like 92 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that would be like really a beautiful life. Um, I 93 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: think I've potentially aged out of it, which is unfortunate. Um, 94 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: you can't go back. You can't go back. If you're 95 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: listening and you're in your early twenties, remember you can't 96 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: go back be a sugar baby today. Yeah, I would say, 97 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: turn off this podcast and try really hard to be 98 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: a sugar baby because the time will run out, and 99 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: you think it won't. You're sitting there and you're tight 100 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: little twenty four year old ass and you're thinking, oh, no, 101 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: one's everyone's always gonna want to pay me for sex. 102 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: Your asshole is slammed shut barely able to be entered, 103 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, yeah, I guess I'll just sit here 104 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: and watch nine perfect Strangers starting could kidman, No, you 105 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: have to go out there get a father figure who 106 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: wants to pay you for company and sex. Today, I wonder, like, 107 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: does it feel I feel like we are both and 108 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: in fact, all of us, even our guests that we 109 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: may or may not bring in, we are both at 110 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: the age of not being able to be either a 111 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: son or a daddy. I've thank you for speaking to this. 112 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: I feel this way in such a big way. I 113 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: feel like I feel stupid when I like try to 114 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: get into the sun roll and I simply can't own 115 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: the dad role. I don't. I'm I'm not a girl, 116 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: not yet a woman, you get it. It's confusing, but 117 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: I do feel Don't get me wrong. I feel elderly. 118 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: When I talked to a year old it can be crushing, 119 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: but I don't feel fatherly. I feel ancient. Yeah, well, 120 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: the relativity of it all, I mean the other day. 121 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: Often I will see people that are like twenty six 122 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: talking about how they feel old about like gen Z 123 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: people on TikTok, and then that'll kind of really uh 124 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: set me off. And then I'm like, oh, someone who 125 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: is merely four years older than me feels that way 126 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: about me. Like to them, I'm like the braddy kid 127 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: who's yelling and taking off his underwear in the middle 128 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 1: of the shopping mall. Okay, here's here's the thought. Being 129 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: a forty five year old gay man is somehow younger 130 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: than being a thirty two year old gay man. I've 131 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: never heard anything more intelligent in my entire life, because 132 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: it's just a different It's time gets twisted a little bit. 133 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: You are you are a baby of a daddy. Baby. Yes, 134 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: if you're forty five, you're a baby daddy. Yeah. Whereas 135 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: when you're thirty two you're the oldest twenty six year 136 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: old on earth. Yeah, oh my god. This is people 137 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: should be taking notes. If you haven't yet turned off 138 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: the podcast in order to will become a son. You 139 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: hopefully can use this in your dissertation. It could be 140 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: huge for the whole university and academic community. Yeah. Wait, 141 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Charles Chinon wait, I think I think I think about 142 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: this every day in my life. I think forty onward 143 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: is chic, but thirties is so stupid. Yeah, well, there's 144 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: nothing nothing all we're doing is getting ready for our forties. 145 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: Right now, the idea of being forty makes me feel 146 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: so like I crave to be forty, Yeah, because it 147 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: will finally like what we're, what we are right now 148 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: will finally be like notarized when we're forty, but not 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: just that. Like I'm trying to think of like a 150 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: politically correct way to say this, but like when I 151 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: look at a forty year old, I don't care. Like 152 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: a forty year old who like doesn't dress well even 153 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: or doesn't do the things that we are that we 154 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: think we're supposed to do that is hot to me 155 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: because I'm like, they know who they are. I fully 156 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: fully agree. It's like like Mariray Bartlett, Yes, well but 157 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: he's also e mentionally attracted. He's so hot, that's right, 158 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: But it's cheap to be fifty and hot. But like 159 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: thirty two and hot, it doesn't make sense any it 160 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: doesn't make anything. You're hot, You're like, stop clinging to 161 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: your youth. Yes, thirty two and hot, You're like, it's 162 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: almost it's expected. It's sort of like when you're like 163 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: an a student and you like continue to get as 164 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: it's just like, well, yeah, you're supposed to like thirty 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: two and hot is like you're supposed to be hot, 166 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: like if actually you're failing, if you're not.

Actually that's a really good point. 365 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: There are a lot of um products like that that, 366 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: like I actually feel and I say this truly as 367 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: like a huge Fiona Apple fan and a fan of 368 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: that album. That album was also like we just needed 369 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 1: an album. Yeah. Well, also that movie. That movie was 370 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: from two thousands three, but it came out into like 371 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: it was a movie. It was. It was supposed to 372 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: being a coho optioner movie with Julianne Moore, literally Julianne Moore, right, 373 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: and then she got fired and replaced with Meliss McCarthy. 374 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: This is not a joke, are you sorry? I'm like 375 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: a hundred percent posit. Julian were talking about it, and 376 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: watch what happens. Well, you shouldn't asked her while you 377 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: had her own. I know, it's actually crazy. I mean, 378 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: first she gets replaced by Melissa McCarthy. Now she gets 379 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: replaced by Charles Rodgers. I mean, what's net It's it's 380 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: like an Animals cover with three of us. Yeah, um, okay, 381 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: well Sam, I kind of think Charles crushed it and 382 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park. Yeah. I mean I'm 383 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: gonna say you got one thousand and one doves are 384 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: still going to do that rating system I until we 385 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: find a new one. That's for damn sure. But I 386 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: saw GEORGEI wins to like two of my answers no, no, no. 387 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: I was responding to how hard you were thinking about 388 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: each one and how seriously you were taking it. Not 389 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: a lot of our guests can say that. A lot 390 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: of people think it's a joke. Do you think Phoebe 391 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: Bridgers Do you think that that was Phoebe from poe 392 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: I was thinking that somehow Phoebe Bridgers is actually straighter. Well, yeah, 393 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: because in the context of friends, Phoebe is the less 394 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: the least straight one, whereas in the context of boy genius, 395 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: Phoebe Bridgers is the most trade one. Can we pull 396 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: that out of my ass? And it's honestly completely correct, 397 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: that's actually genius. I mean, I don't know if this 398 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: is the time or the place, but I'm at least 399 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: gonna say it. Should we talk about Phoebe Bridges right now? 400 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: I think we have to, Like, this is the most 401 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: disappointing guests you could have about in this conversation. Well, 402 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: I do not care about Phoebe Bridgers. I don't know 403 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't know deep cuts, like I just know, like 404 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: I know the existence and I know like I've heard well, 405 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: I guess like culturally, I'm sort of starting to a 406 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: little confused about Phoebe Bridgers role in like our system. 407 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: I think I just I want to say I'm a huge, 408 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: huge fan of her music and and truly think she's 409 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: a genius, brilliant songwriter and lyricist. And I want to 410 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: second that, I want to agree with that. I do 411 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: think that agree that you feel that way. Yes, I 412 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: think her place in the culture is interesting because she 413 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: knows how to be a cool girl. Yeah. And on 414 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: the one hand, she's having fun with it. She's starting 415 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: to be like, oh, I'll be in like comedy videos 416 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: and sort of like, um, transcend my role of like 417 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: singer songwriter. But on the other hand, it's like, well, 418 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: hold on, I don't know if I want to see 419 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: you in a comedy video, and in some ways it 420 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: takes away from the singer songwriter. She Also there's this 421 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: like ironic vibe where it's like she can comment on 422 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: her own work and be like l O L I 423 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: was really depressed when I wrote that, you know whatever, 424 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, but maybe what I want out 425 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: of someone who writes these like really deep emotional songs 426 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: is for them to really play the part and not 427 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: then be able to like see it, see it from 428 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: a remove and be like l O, I, I can't 429 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: believe I said that.

I and we talked about this a 457 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: little where I can't tell if it's simply depression or 458 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: if everyone's music is bad. And I'm going to kind 459 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: of lean towards everyone's music is bad right now because 460 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: nothing's clickings.

Yes, 491 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: and the disease testing site was there because of the 492 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: amount of disease that exists in that location. Disease. Disease 493 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: is queer too, so like we're already like we're moving 494 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: it away. Yes, disease is queer. Thank you, Susan song 495 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: pag wow say that? Um okay, So Charles, what's her 496 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: topic today? The topic is airports. It's something I think 497 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: a lot of America has visited. Yeah, so it's relatable. 498 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: Which is it is relatable? I would say, if anything, 499 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people in America have visited less than 500 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: people in other places who are more worldly. Whoa whoad. 501 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: That's right. Americans are provincial. We're we're we're we are 502 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: trying to be more um regimented, and how we ask 503 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: about the topic, like what is it that makes airports 504 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: straight for you? What makes airports straight for me is 505 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: a few things. Weight Also, I want to pause for 506 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: one second. George, I don't agree with you that we're 507 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: trying to be more regiments in question asking. And the 508 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: fact that you said that as if that's like something 509 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: we talked about, I think is really ignorant. And you're 510 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: um pulling me into something that we literally discussed at 511 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: some point. How we want this this conversation happened. Yeah, 512 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: it might have happened like before a summer or whatever, 513 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: but that was a lifetime ago. I'm a different person 514 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: now and I love our freewheeling. Oh so you no 515 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: longer want to make the podcast more regimented? Oh god no? 516 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Oh great, So Charles, let's talk more about Phoebe Bridgers. 517 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: Then when you know about that we made you talk 518 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: about for ten minutes, we're about not talking about things 519 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: I don't know about. Okay, George, I'm sorry. I just 520 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: didn't like we can ask about the topic. I just like, 521 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want to say like we're 522 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it like we're doing like 523 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: a medicine or something. Okay, how about I asked Charles 524 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: again and then you interrupt him again right when you 525 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: started answering my question. Okay, go for it. Okay, Charles, 526 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: what is what makes airports straight? For you? I just 527 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: want to say that this kind of in fighting is 528 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: why we don't have a gay president. I agree, that's 529 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: actually true, and I do it a million times over. 530 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: It's important to keep in fighting so that no one 531 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: rises to a position of power and then becomes neoliberal. 532 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 1: What if we never talked about the topic. I just 533 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: think if there was a gay president, that would be 534 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: distracting for me as you a citizen, because then I 535 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 1: would think that potentially I could have sex with him 536 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: at some point. Well, and we would also be constantly 537 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: arguing about whether he's a daddy or a baby or 538 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: a baby daddy or daddy baby, and that is like, 539 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: that's like not And then suddenly he presses the nuclear 540 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: button because he's like having sex against it. Oh, in 541 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: our lifetimes, we will we will have a president whose 542 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: nudes leak and that will be so weird, that's true, 543 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: and that president will be Joe Biden. Okay, Charles, what wait? 544 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: We actually okay, I'm sorry I did all that. Um Okay, Charles, 545 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: before we ever discussed the topic, if had one think 546 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: about how to face we would all be like we 547 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: would all like all all us gaze would be like 548 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: trying to get a dinner ticket to the White House 549 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: and talking so much shit we would we would have 550 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: It would have exposed how shitty we are. Oh my god. 551 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: It would have been so annoying. And Twitter would have 552 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: been like the word worst than it already is. I 553 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: would be doing the podcast from the West Wing right now. Okay, 554 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. Okay, So airports to me are 555 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: straight because the people are insane, Like everyone you see 556 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: in an airport is insane. And you see and you 557 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: find out what America is and even then, that's the 558 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: America that can afford to be at an airport, and 559 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: they're the craziest people in America. And sure also it's FEMA, 560 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: it's military, it's d m V, and it's um children 561 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: of men, it's oppression, it's repression. And also the horniest 562 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: you ever are is at an airport, and the cruziest 563 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: and when you see another game man, even if they're 564 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: not even your species of gay, like, it's like so 565 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: charged it is, that's so true. That is so true. Um, 566 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: I didn't ever think about it. Now that you're saying this, 567 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that makes sense, like the reason it's 568 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: so sexually charged is because it's such a straight space. 569 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: And so you're like, oh, that's safety that right there, 570 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: Like you are my only hope. Yeah. And also you're 571 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: like you're trying to understand your space in society, like 572 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: in a whole new way when you're in an airport 573 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, am I better than everyone? Am 574 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: I worse than everyone? And then when you like see 575 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: another game man or gay person or career person. I 576 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: assume everyone feels like that, like seeing them, you're gonna 577 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: get some kind of feedback loop about your worth and 578 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: being like the wait, am I hot in a space 579 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: where there's no other options? Like? Am I hot to you? Right? Right? Right? 580 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 1: That's all that's all you have? Yeah? I think, Um, 581 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: the selfishness of airports that you talked about is like 582 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: a really good um that is very straight. It's very like, no, 583 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: my family comes first. Well you know, you said, like 584 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: people show their true selves, and it's like, well, it's 585 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: dog eat dog, it's lord flies. It is. If I 586 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 1: see a gay man at an airport, I will either 587 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: have sex with him in the supply closet or murder 588 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: him in public on the spot, which is actually what 589 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: all gay connection is. Yeah, it literalizes it and it's like, 590 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: am I gonna fun or killing you? That's literally all 591 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: yeah no, And it makes and the airport makes the 592 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: subtext text like there's no ways around it. Like you 593 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: see someone, you will either slap them or take them 594 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: by the hair into the unisex bathroom. Yeah. Now, I'm like, 595 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: have either of you had sex at an airport? I have, oh, dish, 596 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: dish dish.

I'd like talked to 672 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: somebody like randomly, which we've talked to people, but I 673 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: mean I came thrilling.

It's also funny that we're like airports are straight. 686 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: Here's all the ways you can have gay sex in them. Yeah, 687 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: well that's what makes that. I mean, it's like parks 688 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: are straight mm hmmm, and yet they're full of people 689 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 1: having sex parks are actually queer. I think they're their 690 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: radical community. You know, it's confusing because parts can mean 691 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: a few things. Like parts can mean like if you 692 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: go to Madison Square Park, um, the Shake Shock Park, 693 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: like like a plaque that says like Chelsea Clinton is 694 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,919 Speaker 1: the president of this park. Like that's that's straight. It's 695 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: just some parks have a shake Shack and are also 696 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: ruled by Chelsea Clinton, whereas other parks are just full 697 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: of people gaping. Actually, I don't even know. Maybe that's 698 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: very queer. A Shake Shock Park with Chelsea Clinton is 699 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: that's drag. It's it's camp. That's like a challenge. That's 700 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: a that's a drag race. Challenge is like we've partnered 701 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: with the park run by Chelsea Clinton with a shake shack, 702 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: and we want you to remake the shake Shack uniforms 703 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: and make them more for pride. It's like it's like 704 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: it's the high school jock dressing up like um, like 705 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,959 Speaker 1: a cheerleader. Oh yeah, I have a question. Are you 706 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: each of you people who dresses in any particular way 707 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: for the airport? Mm hmm? How do you dress? Charles? 708 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: I want to dress like I'm famous, but don't worry 709 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: about it. That's exactly the correct way to dress genius, 710 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: and the way to do that is to basically wear 711 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: sweatpants but expensive sunglasses. Yeah, and maybe even a hat 712 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,919 Speaker 1: to Yeah, yes, exactly. Yeah. I kind of like buoy 713 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: it up a little bit for the airport, but in 714 00:43:53,120 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: a way that's still like I'm I'm gay, Charles. Your 715 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: airport look is screaming boy, but gay boy but gay. Um. Yeah. 716 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: I always like to look like um, like an old 717 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: photo of someone traveling. Like my dream is like to 718 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: be like like not old, like not that old. I 719 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: mean we're like someone in the nineties or eighties who's 720 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 1: like traveling like in their post college life. Like I 721 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: love to wear like a faded jean and like an 722 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: old shirt and be like look at me, like timeless. 723 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: Last time I was at the airport, I was wearing 724 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: maybe like jeans and a white T shirt or something simple, 725 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: and I was in line to go to Greece and 726 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: there were the line was maybe like ten people. Along 727 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: of those ten people, I sort of God, there were 728 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 1: two fat gay fashion couples in just within those ten people, 729 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: including one couple where both men in it are wearing 730 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: matching Tom Brown looks head to toe including hats, and 731 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: like there's nothing like like I understand everyone has a 732 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: different life, but there is. I do think there should be, 733 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: like there is an unwritten contract that like everyone's kind 734 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: of doing a bit of a It's that like you're 735 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: not supposed to look dressed up at the airport. Everyone 736 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: can do their own version of celebrity on vacation, but 737 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: like you shouldn't be in head to toe Tom Brown, 738 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: and it made me I was. And then they were 739 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,720 Speaker 1: having they were like really gabbing with the women checking 740 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: the passports, and I already knew, like I'm going to 741 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: get there and she's not going to think I'm the 742 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: cool gay. I feel like they they're like trying too hard. 743 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: I feel like you're definitely cool gay. They're like desperate 744 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: gates that like yeah, maybe they're maybe she's laughing with them, 745 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,879 Speaker 1: but it's because she feels bad for them because they 746 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: tried too hard. Yeah, people who like dress that hard 747 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: at the airport. Though, it's like, wait, do you not 748 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: do is this the only time we've seen other people 749 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: like like are you ever doing anything? I mean, I'm 750 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: surely they are if they're like have access to Tom 751 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: Brown clothes. Here's what Here's the thing is I used 752 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,240 Speaker 1: to feel. I used to be like, if you dressed 753 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: up at an airport that's so desperate, like what like 754 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: you clearly have some sort of um severe mental illness. 755 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: And then I thought, what if it's the opposite. It's 756 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: that it is people who just like by default, always 757 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: looks so good. So they're like, yeah, the airport's just 758 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: another day in my life. It's not a different thing. 759 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to like dress down just because I 760 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,839 Speaker 1: have to be on a plane and that is even 761 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: more scary to me where I'm like, oh, yeah, I 762 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: guess you're just wearing Tom Brown. It's because it's because 763 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: travel is triggering, Like we are really triggered, like the 764 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: illusion of trapped. Like there was some on my when 765 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: I got on the Spain flight. There is like, uh 766 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: like one of those little like ads that play before 767 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: like on your screen on the on the flight, and 768 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: it was like for like MasterCard or Delta or something, 769 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: and it was like the slogan was like travel makes 770 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:06,399 Speaker 1: you whole again, I think, And there's just a part 771 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: of me that's like damn, it's true, Like like it's 772 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: like the one like, it's the one religion. I'm like, 773 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: that's the ultimate Travel is ultimately a true religion. Yes, 774 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: there's something very triggering about travel where we actually, I 775 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: think it means so much more than it does. Well. Also, 776 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: the idea that you are and I really like, I 777 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: really romanticize travel and very much wish I could be 778 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 1: traveling all the time. However, the idea that like it 779 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: makes you more worldly and therefore more somehow like progressive 780 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: or interesting. Just the data is there that is not true. 781 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: Some of the dumbest and most simple people I know 782 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: travel the most. Well, the smartest people are the worst 783 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: people in the world too, or the people who consider 784 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: themselves to be the smartest. That's right, that's right. Let's 785 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 1: have the stupidest points of view. There was this time 786 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: I was in Paris and uh, um, you'll go, don't 787 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: worry um.

And 819 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 1: this woman was like a teacher, like you see Berkeley 820 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: who sat next to me, and she was like, I 821 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: think it's very important to write a bicycle, um and 822 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,360 Speaker 1: just like that, like like in my mind, that's like 823 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: travel travel people. Yes, yeah, well there's there's like ex 824 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 1: pat there's that kind of like um, I don't know, 825 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 1: the Paris like people, or like people who live in 826 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: Berlin like that. That that kind of ex pack culture. 827 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: And then there's the like dirty backpacker culture, which is 828 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: its own problem, which I'm still brainwashed by. Like in 829 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm still like and that's what I should 830 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: be doing. I know, I know. No, I feel the 831 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: same way. The one time I was like in the 832 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: peak of Iceland being cool before it was past. I 833 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: went to Iceland by myself, and I was like I 834 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: stayed on a hostel and it was like all backpackers 835 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh they figured it out. Wow, 836 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 1: I've never had this fantasy. What are your parents like, Sam, 837 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: and what kind of trauma made you not want to 838 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:50,240 Speaker 1: travel to Iceland? I just the backpacking thing is maybe 839 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: it's like what three Church of Christ know the my 840 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 1: my dislike of or my distrust of backpacking culture is 841 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: um maybe based in some sort of internalized republicanism or something. 842 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: But it's always been like, well that's not real, Like 843 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: that's not how, that's not a person's life there that 844 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: they're doing that for what a month and then they're 845 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: they're gonna come crawling back and get a job in 846 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 1: sales or whatever crawling back. Yeah. It's also always like 847 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 1: the richest kids that wanted to do that and like 848 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,879 Speaker 1: got to do that, and it was always like fuck 849 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: you, you you get to like look poor for a year 850 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: and it's so annoying. I mean, something dark about me 851 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: is that as I get older, I more romanticized being 852 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 1: with the shirtless year old in the bookstore rather than 853 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 1: backpacking in Iceland. Like that actually sounds so nice to 854 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: me to quit everything and then be in Paris and 855 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: be part of a community of a bookstore. It's just 856 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: hard because like all the magic you feel when you're 857 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,080 Speaker 1: younger about the world, like the older you get them 858 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: where you're just like, oh, it's just like it's just 859 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 1: personality disorders. Like that's all, Like any source of magic 860 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: is because somebody had a personality disorder, and like that's 861 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: what that's like what the glamor of travel is. It's 862 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 1: just narcissism. And it's the same. Like it's the same 863 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 1: for the artistics, Like it is the same for people 864 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: who romanticize like artistic types, like that is its own 865 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 1: personality short, and it's exactly the same for people who 866 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 1: are like Republicans and romanticized like businessmen and CEOs. It's 867 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: just two different kinds of personality disorders. Yeah. Um. And 868 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: also speaking of romanticizing things in a misguided way, like 869 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: as much as it is so nice to get to 870 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: know other cultures, you slowly do realize that all people 871 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: have such similar flaws. Yeah, And that literally every place 872 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 1: in the world is looks exactly the same. Like like 873 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: I was in Barcelona like two or three weeks ago, 874 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: and I was playing again. I went with my two 875 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,280 Speaker 1: best friends from high school and we just started playing 876 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: game of being Like where else could this be and 877 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: we would just be like Melbourne and it was like 878 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: and then it was like, okay, Pittsburgh, it was like actually, yeah, 879 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: like it's it's just like you just started to be like, actually, 880 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: only America looks like America and then everything, I mean, 881 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: the West and the East have like a different like 882 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: road sign culture, you know, like it's just about road 883 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: signs cotimately, and like I don't know if I complainely 884 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 1: agree with this, I know this is this is a 885 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,399 Speaker 1: real stretch. Only America has these like big green road 886 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: signs and like, and then the rest of the world, 887 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 1: like road signs are like a little smaller, They're like 888 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more like shape launches. Like right now, 889 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: I definitely agree there. I guess where I'm where I'm 890 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: hitting a wall is extrapolating much else from just the 891 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: road signs. Wait, extracting what like what why are road 892 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,320 Speaker 1: signs your north star? Here? Like okay, so road signs 893 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: are different, but other things can also be first. But 894 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,399 Speaker 1: but that's just like the the aesthetic. The aesthetics says 895 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: it all. I mean, come on, we all got degrees 896 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: in marketing, that's right. We do all have degrees in 897 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 1: marketing and I My grad school was in RhoD Signed design, 898 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 1: so I know this stuff like the back of my hand. 899 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: But I think, like, honestly, if anything, the difference between 900 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: America and other places is just the lack of history. 901 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 1: Like I think that's why American people fetishized travel so much, 902 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: because they're just like the idea of being somewhere where 903 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 1: the culture isn't years old. Yeah, and that I think 904 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: you can get from basically anywhere, like you can go 905 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: to like Japan or Paris, and that what an American 906 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: looks for is that is just being somewhere that feels 907 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,359 Speaker 1: like it has a sense of history more so than 908 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: the specifically. What do you think you look unconvinced? No, 909 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm just I feel like I had like a strong 910 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: point earlier, but then I feel like we took so 911 00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 1: many trends that I don't think it's even worth holding 912 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,919 Speaker 1: onto anymore. No, no hold on to it. I'm trying 913 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: to reconcile, like like my my urge to support you 914 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: versus like the selfishness of like trying to remember my point. Well, 915 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: your point was that road signs are different in America. No, 916 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: that was a huge point and the notoriously true. Um, 917 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 1: it's true. No, I like that. I guess it's funny 918 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: because I was so with you and I was like, yes, 919 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: everyone is the same. It is a misguided impulse to 920 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: want to like find something different, and then something within me, 921 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: maybe some nucleus of idealism, was like, wait a minute, 922 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 1: I do want to go to Paris and be in 923 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 1: the bookstore. Yeah. I was trying to agree with you. 924 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: I was trying to find my way in, but I 925 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: couldn't help but feel that at my core I didn't 926 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: quite either understand the point or agree with The point 927 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 1: was just that like only in America looks like America, 928 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: and then every other country has smaller roads, tighter. Everything's 929 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 1: like a little tighter like everywhere else, like literally everywhere 930 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,800 Speaker 1: else likely big lots, and you can just take big 931 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,359 Speaker 1: turns on the road like everywhere else, like a tight 932 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 1: little squeeze like everywhere else. Well, it's interesting how you're 933 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 1: you're focusing on road road life as like the nucleus 934 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 1: of culture. I'm hearing you, and I'm understanding your like 935 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: I do a great I just don't get like what 936 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 1: the point it's like, like, it's just that, like it 937 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: looks different and that's what we like think too much about. 938 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: Don't understand why you can't go all the way to 939 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,359 Speaker 1: like the existential. I can't go here, let me try, so, 940 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 1: I I think I just like, no, you're right, you're right, 941 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: And actually one of the worst things you can accuse 942 00:56:54,120 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: us of is not going existential. Here's what maybe side Analytically, 943 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 1: Americans are so used to this expanse of space, and 944 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 1: they actually want to be dombed by a tiny road, 945 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:16,439 Speaker 1: like they want to feel claustrophobic for once. Right again, 946 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: it's all about the roads and needles signs, like if 947 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: America is all about you know, and I'm not going 948 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 1: into whether this is true or not, but like in 949 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: the American imaginations, all that freedom, personal freedom, whatever, they 950 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: actually want to feel more contained because the overwhelming freedom 951 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: of America is too much for them. Right, I'm focused 952 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: on something else, the roads and the signs of there's 953 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: the roads and the signs. I'm saying, I think that 954 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: I think when I'm actually trying, I'm going to be 955 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: completely honest with you, Yes, I think what I'm actually 956 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 1: trying to get at is that I think that America. 957 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: Americans assume that America is the default, like obviously, but 958 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 1: when and when in fact it's the exception, that's what 959 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: that's Oh, this is like, I mean, I don't act 960 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: like it's such a small point of view. I no, no, 961 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: I compline, that's childish, that's I mean. And you know, Charles, 962 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 1: as someone who went to high school outside of America, 963 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 1: maybe I cleared that late because for me, America is 964 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: not the default. I well, listen, I grew up in Mexico, Honey, Yeah, 965 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: I grew up in Acapulco, Mexico and on the border 966 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: of Texas in Mexico. Wow, Sam, how does it feel 967 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 1: to be the only American in this zoom Um? It's 968 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: such an honor to be part of such a multi 969 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: national podcast. I love our global scale and I'm so 970 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: happy to provide the only real American perspective. I can't. 971 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 1: I can't because I was I'm a third culture We're 972 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 1: third culture kids. Did you ever read that BuzzFeed article? 973 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 1: It was like, I mean, I've read many things, there's 974 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: nothing that like, there's something. I have an allergic raction 975 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 1: of the term third culture kid because to me, it 976 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: like it m it's about this like very specific type 977 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 1: of like rich kid. I went to college with that's 978 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: like randomly going on private jets every weekend but doesn't 979 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: tell anyone about it. And like I do think I'm 980 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: I guess I fit the definition and that I've moved 981 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: back and forth, and I spent some time in other 982 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 1: countries when I was younger, but like, I feel very 983 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 1: rooted in Greece because like both my parents are from 984 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: there and that was my friend. It's like a very 985 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,520 Speaker 1: clear cut thing. It's just then I spent a lot 986 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 1: of time here, so I feel like but like, to me, 987 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: third culture kid is like your dad is secretly a 988 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: billionaire and you grew up in Brussels and then also 989 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: then um spent some time in Argentina and then went 990 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 1: to college at like Northeastern. Yes, totally, it's like, yeah, 991 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: it's that. It's like you grew up in Hong Kong 992 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 1: but then went to boarding school in Switzerland. Exactly. You're 993 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 1: actually a horrible person. I'm now realizing, Like I'm not 994 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 1: realizing that. Then. Airports, how have even more weight for 995 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: you because you probably associate them with your childhood. I 996 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: do because my mom is also a flight attendant, UM, 997 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: and she's been a flight attendant since nine, so that's it, 998 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 1: like I do. And I also have this you know one, 999 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 1: this is actually to pathologize and I just got this 1000 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: tattoo where it's a plane. Oh my goodness, my god, 1001 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,280 Speaker 1: you are really burying the lead. I know. I never 1002 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: a son of airport culture. And wow, I don't know 1003 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: why I hide myself so unconsciously like that. This is 1004 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: literally the first conversation I've had like on the other 1005 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 1: side of quarantine. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm being 1006 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: the weirdest version of You're not being the weirdest person. 1007 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 1: I actually think it's so interesting that you that we 1008 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: got to the root of this together collaboratively. It's all 1009 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 1: mommy issues. We got. It's all mommy issues. My mom 1010 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 1: was pretty like she looked like she's he's a fat 1011 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 1: hag at heart. If we even say that word, and 1012 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: I think we still do, actually depended on behalf of 1013 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 1: your mom's gun ass fucking no, Charles. She loves you 1014 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: because you're her son. Yeah, not because you're gay. Slowly, 1015 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I slowly reveal I'm straight at heart. That would be 1016 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: a slay. This would be written up in Vulture and 1017 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:33,680 Speaker 1: a heartbeat if you wanted to go ahead and come 1018 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: out a straight. I do love the idea that you 1019 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: picked airports because you're trying to work through your feelings 1020 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: about your mom being a flight attendant. I think probably 1021 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 1: true on some I mean, I've always liked the mom 1022 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to fight, but it's a very in my mom My 1023 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:52,919 Speaker 1: mom and my mom fight andlip once again, my own mind, 1024 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 1: my mind, that's only mine, not my mom's mind. Um she, 1025 01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. She it's a very glamor like she 1026 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: was a go go answer, like they like would lease 1027 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: her out dancer. Oh my god, iconic. She said she 1028 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: was for years, like a while being a flight attendant. Yeah, 1029 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't say that, honey, it was the sixties. No, 1030 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 1: we'll bleep it out. We'll bleep out. We'll believe about 1031 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the bleept three, the three key words. 1032 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 1: We'll beleep out the word acid, and we'll just say 1033 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: she was on bleep and let people fill in their 1034 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 1: own sort of substance something much worse. Yeah, let their 1035 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 1: imaginations run wild. Um, wait, randomly, I think we should 1036 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 1: do our final segment. I know I agree, And you 1037 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 1: know what else is even more random. I don't know 1038 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 1: what I'm going to say for it. Oh, I actually 1039 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,960 Speaker 1: do have one, and I know it's like a little 1040 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 1: bit trite for our own podcast, but I think it's 1041 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: an important as our first true recording back. I think 1042 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: it's relevant, Um so Charles. Our final segment that's called 1043 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: shout outs. In the grand tradition of straight culture, we 1044 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: give sort of a radio style shout out UM to 1045 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 1: anything that we roughly um, and I'll go first, UM, 1046 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 1: what's up, freakent losers. I just want to give a quick, 1047 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: maybe trite, a probably predictable shout out to the Doves 1048 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: remix on the Donic CHROMATICA. George's rolling his eyes, Charles 1049 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 1: is thinking less of me right now, but I just 1050 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: want to say that it really hit me hard, and 1051 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. It seems like she's playing with 1052 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 1: herself and she is laughing and being like, I know 1053 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: the song is stupid. It just repeats the same line 1054 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 1: over and over, which you know I love, and it 1055 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 1: has a funny little sin solo. I know I was 1056 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 1: talking about how music does not hit me, but unfortunately, Um, 1057 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: the one Doves remix is the best song I've ever 1058 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: heard in my entire life. Put it in the moment. 1059 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: Whoo whoo all right, I'll I'm gonna just wing it. 1060 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: Um what freaks and losers, and the words of my 1061 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: co host Sam Taggart, I want to give a quick 1062 01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: shout out to diet coke. That's right. I have recently 1063 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: discovered diet coke in something I hadn't had in many 1064 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: decades because I thought it was bad for you because 1065 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: it is the color brown. But I've recently decided that 1066 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,240 Speaker 1: it's actually probably good for you, and I would rather 1067 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: have that than alcohol sometimes because in my current conception 1068 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,160 Speaker 1: of the world, that's better. And also, guess what else, 1069 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: I've been going to movie theaters recently after a punishing 1070 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: two years of quarantine, and there is nothing better than 1071 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 1: a refreshing, approximately six hundred gallon cup of diet coke 1072 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 1: that I can drink and go to the bathroom three 1073 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: times in the span of the film The card Counter 1074 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: from Paul Schrader, And so there is nothing I can 1075 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,920 Speaker 1: recommend more than going out there, being yourself and buying 1076 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: a fifteen pack of diet coke and having it all 1077 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 1: in the span of one day and a half. Whoo whoo, 1078 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't even have a good one. 1079 01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,960 Speaker 1: We should have warned you. It's it's we're we're rusty. Um, 1080 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,400 Speaker 1: what's up, freaks and losers. This is Charles Rogers just 1081 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 1: saying I want to give a huge shout out to 1082 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: quarantining in hotels, but not um, but not telling them 1083 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. Um. It was. I gotta say 1084 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 1: the staff of the White Hotel that I really wondered why. 1085 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 1: I was like, just leave it at the door, and um, 1086 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,919 Speaker 1: just slipping money under the door. And let me tell you, 1087 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 1: I the CDC wanted me to quarantine at the Newark 1088 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Airport Hotel and I just could not do that because 1089 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 1: that was free, and I just I couldn't handle the 1090 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 1: idea of being at So I said, um, no, I 1091 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: really want to be at the Wife and they're like, 1092 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 1: that's not free. And I lighted the CDC and said 1093 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 1: that I had a gift card. Oh my god, Oh 1094 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:53,960 Speaker 1: my god. I know. I'm sorry. I couldn't. I couldn't. No, 1095 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 1: I think that's great. I think, other than my own 1096 01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,439 Speaker 1: life from the last things, we should all be lying 1097 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 1: and shadow to the staff of the White Hotel. I'm 1098 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 1: sure they're they're fairly compensated for all getting COVID. I 1099 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 1: was very I was very good, I'll say that, but 1100 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 1: it was just so obvious. They keep being like housekeeping 1101 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, no, well you did the right 1102 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 1: thing then, I mean, you didn't get anyone's life at risk. 1103 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: If anything, you're the hero. Yeah, they should put your 1104 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 1: picture on the wall there. They should rename it the 1105 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 1: Charles Rogers Hotel, the Charles Rogers Hotel. Um. Well, if 1106 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 1: I can speak out of turn, I just want to 1107 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 1: say this was delightful. Yeah.

I feel like there's so 1115 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: much of airports we didn't even get to. I know, 1116 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, in the serit of I feel like that's 1117 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 1: in the spirit of airports and that you're only there 1118 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: for a small amount of time and then you get 1119 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: on a plane.
