1 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: Podcast starts. Now, what's up everybody out there? You are 2 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: listening to Stradio Lab. Spoiler alert, Georgia's hungover. I ruined it. Sorry, um, 3 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: this is um, this is our podcast. I was gonna 4 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: like do a formal like intro, and I was like, 5 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: what am I doing stopping? What kind of formal intro? 6 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: I was gonna be like, it's the only podcast about 7 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: straight culture, but also not at all a lot. I 8 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: feel like you've you've kind of it started out as 9 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: a bit, but now it almost feels like it's like 10 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: part of the intro. Yeah, suddenly the Coons is me. 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: You could say, well, that's the issue with doing anything 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: semi ironically is that suddenly, you know, you find yourself, uh, 13 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: starring in a Marvel movie. It's a real slippery slope. Yeah, 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean truly. I remember, like l O L used 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: to be such a loaded term and like in text, 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: and I would be like, well, no, I don't say 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: lay ha. And then I was like, okay, well now 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: now I say l O L ironically and now l 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: O L is just completely average and normal. I'm so 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: lost with what you're saying. I've been saying l O 21 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: L the same exact way for like twenty years. L 22 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: has never changed meanings for you. It's never had different implications. Literally, 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: it's always like it's essentially just like a little nod 24 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: to say that something's funny or or it's like a 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: way to make something that's bitchy sound less bitchy. So 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh, it's like someone's like running late, 27 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, that's fine. L. But I feel 28 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: like when l L was first introduced and say the 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: aim days, you know it meant something it hadn't meant 30 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: like you were actually laughing out loud on the floor, yeah, 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: Rothel yeah. And then it was like, okay, well that 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: was middle school me. High school me like dozens a 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: l L because that's for children, right, And then twentysomething 34 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: me is like okay, now I say ironically, and thirty 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: something to me is just like, yep, this is completely 36 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: average and normal. No, it's just part of the conversation. 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: Um unlike LAMO, which I always try to say, and 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh god, I sound like someone's uncle. 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Lm AO can't has not been repurposed in a cool 40 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: way at all, And yet that kind of means it's 41 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: ready for it. This brings me to like something I 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: kind of wanted to talk about, which is and we um. 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: In fact, there was a piece that I had no 44 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: involvement in in Gawker recently about the idea of like 45 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: the collapse of like irony layers, where you can never 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: tell anymore what level of irony someone is operating on. 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: And I've been really struggling with this with the current 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift cycle. I like, you don't understand. I don't understand, 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: like what everyone the deal is? Do you do people 50 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: actually think Jake Jillen Hall is like sad? Like what 51 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: are people talking about? How can you emotionally get behind 52 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: that narrative in like a sincere way? It's so okay, 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: so fine, it's not sincere, But then but then what 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: is the point, Like what is everyone doing? I think 55 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone is so broken and lonely that they're 56 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: just trying to get to be a part of some 57 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: sort of community. And right now that community is talking 58 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift and Jake John Hall for some reason, 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: I just don't understand, Like, and I'm not you know, 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a hater, and I also 61 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: support women, but like Taylor Swift like the idea that 62 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: you would watch, that you would first of all, like 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: choose to opt into a narrative where she is now 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: the director of a short film and you're like, got it. 65 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. I think it's it's very weird. 66 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: I Taylor Swift is a very I'm like, I get 67 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: scared talking about her because I'm literally like She's going 68 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: to listen to this and destroy us somehow. Like she 69 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: has that energy where she's like Taylor's always watching, she 70 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: is big brother um, and she like I also just 71 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: am scared. She's I've never been able to get behind her, 72 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: and I don't. I'm not a hater because I'm afraid 73 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: of her, but something about her is like I just can't. 74 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: I wish I were a fan because she's constantly putting 75 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: stuff out. She is like always building narratives around her 76 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: personal life, which seemed fun to get on board with, 77 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: but it's never ever clicked with me, and I feel 78 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: sometimes crazy for not being it is there's something there's 79 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: something missing in how I'm interpreting all of it. And 80 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm open, in fact, to being to someone holding my 81 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: hand and saying come through and let me explain to 82 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: you what's going on? You more on you know, maybe 83 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: there is something I am indeed missing in the whole narrative, 84 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: and I will say I am. I respond well to 85 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the idea that she's reclaiming her early work, which is 86 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: owned by Scooter broad and she's re releasing her albums. However, 87 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: then I was like, Okay, so these new albums are 88 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: they do they sound different? And people are like no, 89 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, so she's releasing like the same 90 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: exact I guess that is kind of like a baller 91 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: move and I understand that and I respect that now 92 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: in terms of like her directing a short film that's 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: based on a song that she then released a ten 94 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: minute version of and in the short film it's like 95 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: people acting out the song and it's about Jake Jillenhall, 96 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: who she did it for like two months. Yeah, And 97 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: also like I saw this is like sorry to be um, 98 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: sorry to do this, but I saw something. I saw 99 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: a tweet that said Taylor Swift could do Brokeback Mountain, 100 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: but Jake Jillen Hall couldn't do Cats, and I was like, 101 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: that's patently false. Jake Joel and Hall has done Cats 102 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: from most of his performances, like he actually can hit 103 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: that register so easily and better than Taylor Swift. If anything. 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift can't do cats and she did not have 105 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: what it took to in fact deliver on that performance. 106 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: And Taylor would not do Broke Back Mountain because then 107 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: it would not be a gay story. Oh my god. 108 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine if it was Broke Back Mountain but 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: it was Heath Ledger and Taylor Swift, that would make 110 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: no sense. That's just every other there's nothing about the 111 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: comparison is correct. And then everyone was like replying like 112 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: and everyone's playing like I dot dot dot. And then 113 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: the guy the original poster I don't know. I don't 114 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: remember if it was a guy or what gender the 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: original poster was, but was like, I said what I said, 116 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: and people were like, you're crazy for this one. You know, George, 117 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: when you started this zoom, your eyes were so puffy. 118 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: You were like, I'm hungover. You were having trouble just 119 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: sort of even having a normal conversation. And you said, 120 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: but once we get in that intro, I'm going to 121 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: come to life. And I said, well, I'll believe it 122 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: when I see it, and damn if you weren't correct, 123 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: that hangover has not softened that edge even one bit. 124 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: You are giving cultural critic, you are giving well. I 125 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: want to make it clear that it's like I don't 126 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at Taylor Swift. I'm mad at uh, well, 127 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just mad at the person who tweeted 128 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: that random tweet. But like, broadly speaking, I'm ad at 129 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: like this machine, like I'm ad at not being able. 130 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: I hate not being able to understand a cultural narrative. 131 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? No, it makes sense. I really 132 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: get that. I mean I've done that, as you know, 133 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: Like it took me a while to forgive Lona del Rey, 134 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: it took me to forgive time even and but once 135 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: I did, it was like fun and I'm glad I 136 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: was able to get involved in that narrative and all 137 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: of those narratives. But Taylor Swift is one. She's like 138 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the great white whale of that genre where it's like 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: she's the final one. I can't something, it's not clicking, 140 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: and I've even tried. I tried to forgive her during 141 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: Internity now Mine and forgiven forgiveness in this sense. Um, 142 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I had a beef that was one side and it 143 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: meant nothing but well for you, if you don't get something, 144 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: that means that there's like that that thing needs to 145 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: be forgiven. That's what you mean when you say you 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: forgave him and forgave load l Rey is like for 147 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: It's like it was a personal assault to you that 148 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: they were popular without you fully understanding their appeal, and 149 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: then you decided to forgive them for that. Yeah, so 150 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to forgiving Taylor Swift, but today it's 151 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: not that day. Can I say something about Taylor Swift? 152 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: I just like, I'm sorry, and I feel like there's 153 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: no way to say any of this without feeding into 154 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: like I'm sure there is some kind of unconscious bias 155 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: that I am overlooking at myself, But like when I 156 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: see Taylor Swift speaking, there is such an overpowering, disingenuousness 157 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: to her vibe, like nothing about it is to me 158 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: comes across as authentic. No, It's which is why in fact, 159 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of the Reputation era because 160 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, well lean into the to this 161 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: persona and I actually thought those songs were really good. 162 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was fun that she was doing something different. 163 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: I like do that is the one or the problem 164 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: that I do actually listen to willingly. I mean delicates 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: a damn smash, delicates a smash a lot of them, 166 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: like um I did. There's one called I Did Something Bad, 167 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: and it actually has one of my favorite lyrics of 168 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: all time, which is they're burning all the witches even 169 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: if you aren't one queen ship. And that's implying that 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: in the same on which trials like some of the 171 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: witches deserved it, but they also overstepped in burning even 172 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: women that weren't witches. Wow. I kind of go to 173 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: show you when her general uh you know, outlook is 174 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: in terms of solidarity with other women. Yeah. Yeah, well 175 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: I've been listening to mean that song by her a 176 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: lot recently. I love that song for some reason, and 177 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: that's the positive Taylor Swift. I will say No. For me, 178 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: it's like it's and reputation. I was. There was a 179 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: brief moment where I was like, you know what, I 180 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: get what everyone's talking about. Like she was just pop 181 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: enough that it was like okay for me, I cannot 182 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: do Like if we go back to like she wear 183 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: short skirts, I I break out and that or like 184 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: tear drops on my guitar. It's I'm not connecting to 185 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: that and it's not for me, and so it's not 186 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, I and I recognize that, but um, I 187 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: think we should bring in our guests. I feel almost 188 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: as if we are holding her hostage. Then we are 189 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: silence and her in fact actively Yeah. And there have 190 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I think been some points where she's maybe wanted to 191 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: come an opinion, but we haven't properly introduced, and so 192 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: it kind of felt like, well, she doesn't want to 193 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: overstep her bounds, and you know, and I don't actually 194 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: know what her history as a Taylor shift. Well maybe 195 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: we should get time to find out. But this is 196 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: what is happening right now. Is was my worst fear 197 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: of how this would go. Why well, this dynamic right now, 198 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: which I love because when you the podcast guests speaking 199 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: for the first time, it's such it's such a such 200 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: a fraud moment and I and sometimes there's a little pause, 201 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: and there was one I was like, maybe this is it, 202 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: and then but it wasn't, and and then we both 203 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: and so but I think we're going to come back 204 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: from it. Well, no, I just want to say the 205 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: fact that you're talking about this is like exactly, it's 206 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: chef's kiss, as they say, because one of our signature, 207 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: one of the elements of this pie cast is that 208 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: we talk about it as we make it, and sometimes 209 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: we don't even in fact start a normal conversation until 210 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: two or three hours into the recording. And so to 211 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: come in and immediately be interested in examining the act 212 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: of speaking for the first time means that you've, as 213 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: they say, gotten the assignment. Oh yeah, no, process based. 214 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: I really want to deconstruct what it means to be 215 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: a third party on a zoom call. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, 216 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: we we do talk a lot about ourselves in our 217 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: own process and sort of what it's like to host 218 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: and sort of what we're uncomfortable with in the moment 219 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: and what we're doing wrong and what we're doing right. 220 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: But I actually we never really dive into the guest 221 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: role in sort of what they must be feeling. Yeah, 222 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: it's not really an empathy forward. Yeah, it's selfishness first, 223 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: of course, selfish I do. I always surprised myself when 224 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: I actually, uh feel for our feel for our guests, 225 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: where sometimes I'll be like, wait, I guess we are 226 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: asking them insane questions like I guess we are making 227 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: them do this like nonsensical segment. And sometimes it's like 228 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: someone will not immediately respond in a funny way, and 229 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: I'll be like come on, or I think about that. 230 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm just like, oh wow, I'm I'm the world's 231 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: worst person and I'm the devil because I will invite 232 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: someone to be on my show and then be like, 233 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, shut up, you know, like you stop talking. Yes, 234 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk with my friend, and you're like, 235 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know you that well. And then 236 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I asked them to be there, 237 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to be here, and I'm you know, I'm talking, 238 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking over them for no reason, and I have 239 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: to edit this out so then to preserve my own ego. 240 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: I truly I feel the exact same way. Sometimes though 241 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. Like we do have like moments where 242 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: we'll have a guest on and we'll be like are 243 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: they happy with us? Like we'll really be like looking 244 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: to them for like validation in a way that's also toxic. 245 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: It's like it's not totally on them to like give 246 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: you the confidence boosts. It's your show, Like every time, 247 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: and like every time there's a guest that I want 248 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: to impress and I'm like looking to them of like 249 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: is this good with you? Do you like this? They're 250 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: like not even listening, waiting for it to be their 251 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: time to speak. Yes, But well because for them it's 252 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: like they are going somewhere to essentially be interviewed, so 253 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: to speak, like it's a conversation, but it's also like 254 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: it's their name on the episode, like they're going in. 255 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: They're like, okay, well I have to pull my weight 256 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: and like what is the really? Yeah, I know, just 257 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: like it's very much like just shut up and like 258 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: pretty tuts. That's kind of how I feel podcasting. Um. 259 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: But with all that being said, I think maybe we 260 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: should introduce our guests. Oh yeah, I guess sorry, is 261 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: this one is? Okay? So we're going to cut all 262 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: that out. So that's that's just for us our next 263 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: guests a podcast. Um, she's incredible. We're going to look 264 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: to her for validation. Please welcome to the stage, Jamie Loftus. Wow, 265 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me. Oh, thank you 266 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: for doing it. Seriously, stuff, Jamie, I want to give 267 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to kind of respond broadly to the 268 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: conversation you were witnessed to the Taylor Swift conversation. I 269 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: always feel like, inherently I I agree in feeling like 270 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: insecure in my connection to Taylor Swift. Sometimes I get it, 271 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: other times I don't. I'm still um my. I'm iconically 272 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: friends with my friends from high school still, and they 273 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: still to this day will make fun of me for 274 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: something I said in like two thousand and whenever tear 275 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: drops on my guitar came out. I like considered my 276 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: self to have excellent taste in high school, and I 277 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: would let people know what I thought about certain things. 278 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: And I said at lunch one day, Taylor switched as 279 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: a flash in the pan marked my words, you won't 280 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: be hearing from this woman again. And I have now 281 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: been wrong for like fifteen years. I think at this 282 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: point like just a never ending parade of wrongness. And 283 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: now she's like I feel personally attacked in a way 284 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: that I can't forgive, because now she's like going back 285 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: and releasing the same ship again that I said that 286 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: we would never hear again, and now we're hearing it 287 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: for a second time, and everyone still likes it. I 288 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: do feel like everyone's very sick right now, and people 289 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: will look back on this time and the things that 290 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: they were really getting into and feeling not good about it. 291 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: The things that I've seen people attribute the word genius 292 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: too recently baffles me. I'm like, this is just a 293 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: person to having a fit on, like you know, I 294 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: don't know. No, I think you are absolutely right. I 295 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: also think it's almost there was a first wave of 296 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: everyone being insane obviously during like the worst of the pandemic, 297 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: but I do think this is like a very noticeable 298 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: wave currently of basically people having like the post traumatic stress. Yes, yeah, 299 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: this is dangerous too because people don't think that they're 300 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: being that way anymore, but exactly in public. Yeah, no, 301 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it really is. I mean it's almost like 302 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: it's almost like performance art that or the whole thing 303 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: is almost too perfect. It's like, so she's releasing literally 304 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: the same exact album she released ten years ago, and 305 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: then it's like parentheses Taylor's version. She has people doing 306 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: like fan fiction about this three month where like it's 307 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: it's all it's just crazy, it's crazy, it's fucked up. 308 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: I do I always forget that it was a three 309 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: months relationship, which is so funny and it makes me 310 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: so I was returning to I don't know. I've been 311 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: regressing in a very weird way recently and just like 312 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: reflecting on things that used to hurt my feelings but 313 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: are now really funny, which includes music that a guy 314 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: I had a three month relationship with made after I 315 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: broke up with him. So I feel like I have 316 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: been the Jake Gillen Hall And if Mike I'll say it, 317 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: Mike re really re dropped the songs he wrote about 318 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: me in on band camp, and had it be Mike's version, 319 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: I would be um, I would I wouldn't like it. 320 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't like it, and I just want to, like 321 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: I do. I don't want to be too um dismissive 322 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: of the three month thing, because I do think you 323 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: could actually be in a three month relationship and then 324 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: have it like really affect you for many years. But 325 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: it's with a like am I adding a short film 326 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: about it? Like you kind of already unpacked it, I 327 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: we hope. But then also I am kind of like 328 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: into the idea of it being culturally permissive to like 329 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: it's allowed to be just as mad about something from 330 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven as you were in two thousand eleven, 331 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: and in fact you can monetize it. That is also 332 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: appealing to me. Honestly, what it reminds me of is 333 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: like I've been recently kind of you know, because we 334 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: didn't do stand up for so long. I've, like we 335 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: all have, I've been having to do like old material. 336 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: I feel like things you wrote like to or three 337 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: years ago, and this feels very much like that where 338 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: she's like, oh, yeah, she's still touring on this, like 339 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, She's like, yeah, I guess I'll do the 340 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: bit about my three month relationship with Jake in two 341 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: thousand eleven. Yeah, I mean it's I guess it's like 342 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: I'm not like upset about it. I did. I am 343 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: kind of surprised at how because she's done other words, 344 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: like she's already released some of these, but for some 345 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: reason it's like this specific I know, I don't know what. Yeah, 346 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: it makes me very again, it just it makes me 347 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: feel it makes me feel crazy. Yes, sorry, I guess 348 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: I'm out of that's my contribution as Yeah, No, I 349 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: think that was a beautiful contribution. I watched the short film. 350 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: I didn't either and I'm sorry, I cannot wrap my 351 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: mind around what would compel a person to press play 352 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: on that, like the idea that you want to watch 353 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: a short film directed by Taylor Swift based on a 354 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: song that was released ten years ago, starring literal bad actors, 355 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and it's not even they're bad faith actors and they're 356 00:20:54,040 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: bad actors and they're crisis actors and a crisis actors 357 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: and all the and at the end of the day, 358 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: Dear John is a better Taylor Swift indictment song anyways, 359 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: And so I don't total right now, I don't know. 360 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: I think we're I think this episode is going to 361 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: draw backlash. I'm scared of me. Yeah, I feel like 362 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: we are. We all kind of have the same take, 363 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: which we obviously don't screen guests for how their take 364 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: on Taylor Swift before they come on the podcast. But honestly, 365 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 1: maybe we should start because we need a balance, I mean, 366 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: a diversity of ideas. And that's true, there needs to 367 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: be in But Dilan O'Brien is a crisis actor. Okay, 368 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what's And then the other girl's name is 369 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: like Sissy Soup or something. I don't know what. Wait, 370 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: hold on I'm looking at it. That could be true. 371 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. I see I see a teenager with 372 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: red hair like that could be Sissy stud Sure wait, 373 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: let's see I was almost right. Who's Sadie Sings? Sadie 374 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: Sing is the woman in the video I literally thought, 375 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: I thought I didn't remember. But she's a Stranger Things 376 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: a girl. Okay, Sissy stukeets Sadie's sig are I feel 377 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: like close but not as close as you're making it sound. Okay, 378 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: I guess. Okay, alright, so Sadie think listen, all my 379 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: respect to Dylan O'Brien. Who's Dylan O'Brien. What is he 380 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: in teen Wolf? Okay? And then Sissy stock is in 381 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: Stranger Things? Well, you know what, I have nothing against 382 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: any of these people, and if that's what makes you happy, 383 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: then that's fine. You know who's a female filmmaker Jake 384 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: Joe and Hole sister Maggie Joe and who who actually 385 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: has a movie coming out soon? So I recommend everyone 386 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: goes to that. Yes, I'm glad you were able to 387 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: prove that you weren't anti woman, just anti this short film. Yeah, 388 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: and it's actually starting. Olivia Coleman who's a better actress 389 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: than Sissy Stuck? Is there anything? Is there anything more 390 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: regressing to two eleven than like making a short film? Though, 391 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: Like I feel like it's so, you know, yeah, like 392 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: what is your angle here? Like she's going to yeah, 393 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: just do and I don't like, you know, like this 394 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: whole just do have some adventurous this do like a 395 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: or like a Lady Gaga Beyonce short film where you're 396 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: playing different characters. And and maybe maybe Taylor Swift should 397 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: have played the Jake Schillenhall role. That would have been 398 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: like an interesting twist. Wait, okay, so I'm looking at 399 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: the Wikipedia page for All Too Well, the short film, 400 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: which is very long. So it's Sissy Stuck as her her, 401 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: which her Dylan O'Brien as him, and then and then 402 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: in a cameo role, Stranger Things director and executive producer 403 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Sean Levy as hers father. First of all, I'm sorry, 404 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: but naming the characters her and him, it feels very 405 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: like Darren Aronofsky's mother, Like it's like that's I feel 406 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: like we've we've seen it. It feels very Zoe Deschanelle 407 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: and that guy and him. Oh sure, sure, yeah, who 408 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: was him. I mean, I'm sorry, but what is the 409 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: difference between scept and she and him? Um? Longevity? Um? Well, 410 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: all too well. The short film is screening at AMC 411 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: Lincoln Square at six thirty five, if we all want 412 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: to go to Jamie theaters. Do you think she's trying 413 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: to get an Oscar nomination for short film? Can she 414 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: do that? I guess she's legally allowed. Yeah, you can't 415 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: arrest her. We will yeah. Um, well, Jimmie, maybe if 416 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: you just say into the mic right now that she'll 417 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: never win an Oscar for this short film? Win next week? Yeah, 418 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: she'll She'll win very soon. They're having an emergency Oscar 419 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: ceremony and they're going sissy struck the Lifetime Achievement Award. Um, 420 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: should we do our first segment? Yeah? Sam, you're petrified 421 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: that we're going to get fully destroyed for the time. 422 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: I am scared of the Taylor Swift fans. I am 423 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: genuinely afraid. Um. Yes, then down. I saw someone and 424 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: I respected, really taken down for expressing a very lukewarm 425 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: opinion about Taylor Swift yesterday, and it genuinely like kind 426 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: of made my chest see like tighten a little bit. 427 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: It's hard to watch. How did they get taken down? 428 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: They got taken down. I mean, I don't know why 429 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: he would say this publicly. That's that's I was like, 430 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: that's just a thought for the inside of your head. 431 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: But he's like, you know why is like Taylor Swift 432 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: grew up extremely wealthy and talks like she doesn't and 433 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: you can't say that. You cannot say that. Um, And 434 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: I just saw him be slowly by like Taylor Swift 435 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,239 Speaker 1: fans of all, like every conceivable kind of Taylor Swift fan, 436 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: the Taylor fifth Swift fans that are sixty five years old, 437 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: and his coworkers like, you know, just like people that 438 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect. And it was just a unanimous takedown. 439 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: And um, I don't know. I just I would never 440 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: I guess that that It is a big risk making 441 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: a public statement about Taylor Swift. Yeah, you have to 442 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: you you kind of learn over the years to um 443 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: not do that. And luckily, no one listens to podcasts, 444 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: so no one will hear these opinions. We're gonna it's 445 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a private link. You you'll have to like 446 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: email us to get the link to this episode. We 447 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: will screen you based on your opinion on Taylor Swift 448 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: before you're allowed to listen to the episode process, and 449 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: again before anyone comes from me. Once again, I've I've 450 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: streamed reputation many times. I genuinely listen to Taylor Swift often. 451 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I would say I do too, Like it's not it's 452 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: not a it's not everything, but there are I think 453 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: there's something for everyone in her Ubra. I'll say that, 454 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: And maybe it's just that this specific short film is not. 455 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: It's not for me, and that's okay, And one day 456 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: I will forgive her one day. I don't think we're 457 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: ready yet. I think forgiveness. Sam's version is a long 458 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: way away. Um okay, Wow, it's so funny. I love 459 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: them being gay podcasters and talking about Taylor Swift. It's 460 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: so classic. I know it's well, you know, you have 461 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: have to return to a classic, much like Taylor Swift 462 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: rerecorded her entire Album's really ten years ago. It's true. 463 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: I guess the only thing worse than that is recording 464 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: a podcast where you comment on it, yeah, for like 465 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: a half hour. It's like the only thing less original 466 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: than what Taylor Swift doing. Cots Wow, Um okay, first segment.

My 498 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: instinct is that is more straight. Straight. That's straight if 499 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: you use code bang bang. If you use code bang bang, 500 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: that is straight.

Good, Okay, I think you've got nine doves. Um. Wow, 512 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: that was an incredible performance. I feel like that really 513 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: snapped us out of Um. I know, I know the state. 514 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: It is a fuke state, and it's her fault. It is. 515 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: I think we can hold her accountable for that. It is. 516 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: We have to hold her accountable. And I don't even 517 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: mentioning her. I'm like, I want to talk about her more. 518 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: I know we haven't. I know, well, you literally can't 519 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: talk about her more. We talked about her. We can't 520 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: can't talk about her more. I'm and this all started 521 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: because before we started recording, I delivered some gossip that 522 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: she was rude to someone we know. So take that 523 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: blind item. M. Yeah, I like that was fun gossip. 524 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: That was I love I love when someone acts out 525 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: a little bit in a way that makes them look dumb. Yes, agree, great. Um, wait, okay, 526 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: let's do a topic. Okay, let's row a topic. Jamie, 527 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: would you mind introducing the topic you brought forth to 528 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: the red Table today? And um, say a little bit 529 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: about what made you think of it? Okay. So the 530 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 1: topic that I and I feel like this ties into 531 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: the same like bizarro mindset that everyone's in right now 532 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: is I'm seeing another wave of people publicly announcing that 533 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: they're not going to be on social media for a while, 534 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: to the point that I have considered it, which is new. Um, 535 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: and so I feel like it is mostly straight people, 536 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: and in my like little in my feed, it's mostly 537 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: straight people with three hundred followers. And I want to 538 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: interrogate that idea of taking a break from social media, 539 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: making a really telling everyone why and grossly oversharing in 540 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: the process and ultimately having it be for people you're 541 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: going to see anyways. Um, what what is that there? 542 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: And why do I want to do it? That's a 543 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: great question. This is a tough topic because I think 544 00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: that like it is very true. I feel like the 545 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: reason maybe it's straight people doing it I feel like 546 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: being gay on social media has been lifted up in 547 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: such a way like social media is for the gays now, 548 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: and so when a straight person is like, well, I 549 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: can't get lifted up in that way, like I don't. 550 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: It's sort of like I don't want to play. I quit. 551 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: Like if I can't win, I quit. Um, that's almost 552 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 1: how I see it. So you think people are taking 553 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: a break from social media because they're afraid of all 554 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: the gays. I think they're like, I don't, I'm tired 555 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: of pretending to be bisexual. And that's actually so true. 556 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: People are taking a break from social media because they're 557 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: tired of pretending to be bisexual. If I, yeah, if 558 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: you see me disappear from all social platforms in like 559 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,959 Speaker 1: a burst of flame right before Bisexual Visibility Day, you'll 560 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: know why. Because I feel like I can't hang and 561 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: I can't, like I can't, I don't, I don't, I 562 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to this year. Um, 563 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. But and I'm not. I'm not even 564 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: like it's not even the act of taking a break 565 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: from social media, which I've am very supportive of and 566 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: probably should do more of. But it's the act of 567 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: telling people that you're doing it, Like that is the 568 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: thing that is like, well, then you're just medically addicted 569 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: to it. If you're so addicted that you have to 570 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: tell people like guys, I'm not going to be around 571 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: for a while, like I please don't like you know 572 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: fifty one fifty if I don't weigh in on the 573 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: red discourse. Um, yes, the yeah, I don't know. But 574 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: and yet I'm like it's like the the right thing 575 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: to do there is just to like not post anything 576 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, right, like I don't know, well, 577 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: it's almost it's like to post that you're leaving social 578 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: media is so leaning into the worst elements of social media, 579 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: like the narcissism and kind of like main character syndrome 580 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: to use a phrase for the Internet is like at 581 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: its peak when you think people want to know that 582 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: you're taking a break from social media, Like so at 583 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: that point you're too far gone, like if you're actually 584 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: taking a break and then the entire time thinking like, wow, 585 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm taking a break or I also really like the 586 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: post where when sometimes people do I feel like this 587 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: is more of like people with like big influencery followings 588 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: that they do where they will just they will disappear 589 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: for a while and then they'll come back with a 590 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: bunch of pictures of like grass and post about what 591 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: they learned during the break.

And then it's 598 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: like and then while you were doing all of that, 599 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 1: you were documenting it for the purpose of creating content 600 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: out of your big realization. Does everyone's so sick and 601 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: it's so interesting to me to watch the people or 602 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: to watch the ways that people are like performing not 603 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: being sick. Um yes, but wait, this is actually so 604 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: what you're pointing to is like so important, I think, 605 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: And I've noticed more and more of this performance of 606 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: like people trying to outdo themselves with how healthy they 607 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: are compared to everyone else. Like I feel like I 608 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: see a lot of stuff that's like, um god, that's 609 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: like that the tone is basically like, you guys are 610 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: being really weird about this one thing that everyone's talking about, 611 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: and like I'm the only person who's normal and not 612 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: participating in this.

It 615 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: is a trap, and every out, Yeah, I guess it, well, 616 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: because the only way out is a way that would 617 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: not be documented, so you would not be able to 618 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 1: actually see that someone found a way out, right. Well. 619 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: It's also, yeah, social media, it's like like, yeah, I 620 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: don't like like I don't like money, Like I don't 621 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: like having to think about money all the time, and 622 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: yet I have to. Like social media is kind of 623 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: the same way. It's like even when you're opting out, 624 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: you're like still opting in by it being oppositional or something. Oh, 625 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. Yes, it's like an impossible 626 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: bargain because uh, suddenly you've made a political statement by 627 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: not tweeting.

No, No, and I 651 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: can't say that because you can't because I commit to that. 652 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: That would be I will have I'll like wake up 653 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: and drink like two drops of Chobonni coffee and do 654 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: it like coffee, I think getting I have it with you, 655 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: like it looks like spawn Chobannie coffee. I've never heard 656 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: of this. I didn't even know Chobani main coffee. I 657 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: know them as more of a yogurt brand. Yeah, they're 658 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: famously a yogurt brand, but they're pivoting into uh coffee, 659 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: which I think is I don't I don't know if 660 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: that's I don't know. I was skeptical of it, but 661 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: it is coffee. Yeah, I could, and you you like it, 662 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 1: you like seek it out on purpose. Um, it's just 663 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: like the yeah I do. I do it almost. It 664 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 1: was like put upon her and I was like, well, wait, 665 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: but you you buy this? Correct? Feel like No, the 666 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: store closest to me has like that, like what is 667 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: that like curvy jug but it has like creamer in it, 668 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: and I don't like that. You have to get the 669 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: Chobani cop I don't like whatever that is. That's nasty 670 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: to me. So it's it has to be the Chobani coffee. Wow, 671 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: I have three drops of it, and then I start 672 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: taking pictures of my ass. I didn't even Essentially, I 673 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: don't think of you as someone who posts asked to 674 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: Maine me either. I was gonna say this a little phase. 675 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: I went to a little phase and I feel self 676 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: conscious about it still. Well, you know what, though, I'm 677 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like the ideal thing is like 678 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: you can post asked to Maine and get the get 679 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,320 Speaker 1: kind of a nice reaction out of that. But also 680 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: because you're overwhelming output is not asked to Maine, people 681 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: still think you of you as an intellectual. I just 682 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: want to have a little intellectual asked to Maine every 683 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: once in a while. But if you do too many, 684 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: like text Bass posted a row, I feel like people 685 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: are like you gotta so you'd have to just like 686 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: go hard in the other direction. Anyways, what I'm describing 687 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 1: here is like the exact reason that I should log 688 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 1: out of all of my accounts and never return. But 689 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: you know what, though, I think you're pointing to something interesting, 690 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: which is like the binary of Basically the two kinds 691 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: of posts are text and ass and it actually doesn't 692 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: even matter what the text says. But I think social 693 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: media use is a calculation of and actually, you know, 694 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: bear with me for a second, I think even asked 695 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: doesn't actually imply ass It just implies like a post 696 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: whose spiritual, whose vibe is asked? Like there can be 697 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: a text based post that's basically asked, and there can 698 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: be a photograph that's basically text. It's just like a 699 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: post can either be text or asked. And the way 700 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: the bind of social media is that you can never 701 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: actually find the right balance of text to ask post. 702 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: This is a thesis paper. I think it's genius. I 703 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: and I feel like okay, and and going back to 704 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: the topic that I feel like a temporary farewell I'm 705 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: logging out for a while. Post can deliver on both 706 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: of those things, and kind of a rare way, because 707 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: you have to like post when you're when you're leaving 708 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: for a while, you've got to attach a picture. But 709 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: also the caption has to be eight years long, it 710 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: has to be a book. And I guess maybe you're 711 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: pointing to something. It's the ideal post. I guess delivers 712 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: on both text and asks right right, which And is 713 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,760 Speaker 1: that why you're telling people that you're leaving because you're 714 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: going to get like this unique validation out of it. Yes, yes, uh, 715 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: and I want that kind of validation. But I also 716 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: know that I will not successfully log out. And that's 717 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 1: and that's fun too when someone makes the post and 718 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: then they're back one days later being like I learned 719 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: so much anyways, Yeah, like Christie Teagan exactly, classic, a 720 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: classic example. I'm a classical on the internet. Have you 721 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: guys ever tried to break? Yes? What was your break? Yeah? 722 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,439 Speaker 1: I mean genuinely, when you take a break, you feel better. 723 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,959 Speaker 1: It's just like science. Like every time I've ever taken 724 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: a break from social media, I felt so much better. 725 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: I've read way more, I've like I felt better just 726 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis. Yeah, there's just no question. 727 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: Did you when you came back, did you feel healthier? 728 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: Do you feel like you have a healthier approach or 729 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: did it like immediately go back to how it was? Um, 730 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: I would say maybe within the span of like three 731 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 1: days and went back to what it was. That's a 732 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: pretty good three days. Though you've never taken a break, 733 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: I've never taken a break. I've yeah, Um, I just 734 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: feel I've I think I have an almost healthy relationship 735 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: with you. I think you have a more healthy relationship 736 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: that Twitter drives me a little crazy sometimes just seeing 737 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: like opinions, opinions, opinions, especially when they start to feel 738 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: like insincere and like everyone's just like repeating the same phrases, 739 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: I really like start to go insane. Well, then you 740 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: also find your well maybe I don't know, maybe you're 741 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: better at this than I am, but like I find 742 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: myself then becoming that person. I'm like, Okay, I'm basically 743 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: just talking in like dumb Twitter language and making the 744 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 1: most predictable jokes or or even worse, make the most 745 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: predictable like contrarian statements where I'm like trying to, you know, 746 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,919 Speaker 1: prove that I have some kind of original opinion about 747 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: something that doesn't matter. When I am tear drops on 748 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: your guitar? Is the last time you're ever going to 749 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: hear from Taylor Swift? Mean, yes, yeah, it's so interesting 750 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: that you Yeah anyway, go on, Oh no, I was 751 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of when I'm because I guess 752 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm self conscious and I said I was had a 753 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: healthier proachs media because I don't want that to be 754 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: I think based on you know, compared to many people 755 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: you know. But I think when I post, that's when 756 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: I get crazy, like because I'll post something and then 757 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 1: I'll like really care about the response in a way 758 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 1: that's like extremely dumb. It's like it doesn't matter, just liked. 759 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: I sall post bad stuff on purpose to like try 760 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: to shake myself of caring about the response. But then 761 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: I'll post like something that means something, and I'll be 762 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: like hurt when it's like not getting what I feel 763 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: like it should or something in that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 764 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: when you feel like you're I don't know, something you 765 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: actually care about underperforms and you're like, oh well, okay, 766 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,959 Speaker 1: like let's walk into traffic about that. Yeah, I guess 767 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: I suck awesome. I had the times that i've I've 768 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: never I've taken short, like a couple of days that 769 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,240 Speaker 1: felt much longer. Um, And I've never made the post. 770 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: I've written the post, but I've never made the post 771 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: out taking a little break. Um. I feel like sometimes 772 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: writing it out does sell you the fact that it 773 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: is inherently a very like a confusing thing to do 774 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: unless you're really going to commit to it. And even so, 775 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: maybe still confusing. But anyways, Uh, yeah, I found like 776 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: when I came back after a break, it like it 777 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 1: went back to normal very quickly, and it like for 778 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 1: the first day or so, it felt like worse. Like 779 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 1: I was like, it's like hit orders, Yes, that's actually 780 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: so true. Now I'm remembering that feeling that you're describing. 781 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: It's like, because you know, you see with fresh eyes 782 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: how unnatural the whole experiences. Like when you're used to 783 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 1: having just normal face to face or phone or text 784 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: interactions with people like one on one, you forget just 785 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: how unnatural the feed experience is, Like, that's just not 786 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: how humans are meant to interact with one another. And 787 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: to be suddenly barted with like opinions of people you 788 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: don't care about or you don't agree with or whatever, 789 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: it's very jarring. Yeah, and then to feel like, oh, 790 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 1: in life has to be this way for some reason 791 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 1: so I could feel better returned to it. I don't know. 792 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: I like, it's if you're listening and you have like 793 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: made a post like this, I'm just like I have 794 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: interested in it. You have Wait, what I haven't made 795 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: multiple times? Wow? Bearing the lead vibes. I mean certainly 796 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: not in the last three years. But like during the 797 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: first wave of people doing that, I would it would 798 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: never be like overly earnest. But I don't know what 799 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: what what kind of pictures would you use? Um? Yeah, at, 800 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: please describe these posts? Are they still up? Oh god, 801 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: I actually remember to say one of them. And I 802 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: just wanted everyone to know. We know it's always weird 803 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 1: to talk about social media, that we sound insane, but 804 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: we're owning it. Yeah, you're talking about swift and we're 805 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: talking about social media. Like I'm just imagining an imaginary 806 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: listener listening to this and being like, oh god, these 807 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: people are have such like are so broken because they 808 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: like think social media everything. It's like, no, we actually 809 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 1: are like some of the most well balanced people out there. 810 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,840 Speaker 1: Um okay. I distinctly remember one time I posted the 811 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: it was back when people still used gifts and I 812 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: posted the gift of Nick Krall or actually no, it 813 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: was Jenny Slate and publicity saying it's time for me 814 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 1: to take a work, to take advice from your bangs 815 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: and grow, And that was like my parting word to 816 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: my public which of course at that point was like 817 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: two people classes. That's so it was a little wink. Yeah, 818 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 1: and then did you commit to it? That's fine. I've 819 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: probably left for a few months, a few months months. 820 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:07,879 Speaker 1: What were you doing instead? Like reading books? Watching TV? 821 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: But you know, working on my relationships. That's really powerful. 822 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: Um is um Lord's solar power? The ultimate um post 823 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:26,240 Speaker 1: about not being on social media. That's a good question. 824 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, well, no, I think the ultimate post is 825 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 1: the book that that book you read, how to do Nothing. 826 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: That's true, talk about a book length asked post about 827 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,840 Speaker 1: not being on zodo media. I read that book about 828 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: the Yeah, how you gotta look at birds like that? 829 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: That was a paraphrase, Now you sure? I mean the 830 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: main takeaway was just look at some birds are actually 831 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,399 Speaker 1: much weirder than you think. So you read that book. 832 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 1: I just remember you being so affected by that book 833 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: and that you never still never took a break. Yeah, 834 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 1: I really like that book. But yeah, like, um sort of, 835 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: I liked reading it. I don't. I don't care what 836 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 1: they were saying. No, I liked having read a book. Yeah, 837 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: sometimes that's enough. I like the sense of completion. Um No, 838 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: it was like I considered taking a break. But I 839 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: almost feel like the takeaway maybe I completely misinterpreted. I 840 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: feel like the takeaway was more like don't quit. Like 841 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: if you have to use it, you have to use it, 842 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 1: but like be aware of what it's doing to you, 843 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: and um try to. Yeah, yeah, it's hard. I don't. 844 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. And now maybe I'm like, maybe I'm 845 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: projecting at the people who are making the posts even 846 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: though it is insane. Okay, they're coming uh. I think 847 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: I think part of the reason I wouldn't ever commit 848 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: to making a post about how I'm not going to 849 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: post anymore is because I know I couldn't stick to 850 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 1: it also, but I think that's okay. So it's actually 851 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: funny that you say that, because now I'm remembering again 852 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,240 Speaker 1: this was like years ago. I'm remembering actually thinking to myself, 853 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 1: what I'm doing is embarrassing, but it is the only 854 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 1: way I will stick to this is if there's a 855 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: public record of me having posted that I'm taking a break. Yeah. 856 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: That's because I remember being like, this is embarrassing, like 857 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: and it's not something I would want. If I saw 858 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: someone else to it, I would think it's embarrassing, But like, 859 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's even more embarrassing posting this and then 860 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: tweeting an hour later, like you know, um, in the 861 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: words of Sudie Green Short Guys eat Box, so you know, 862 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: it's even more embarrassing saying you're going to take a 863 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: break and then not posting and then just logging into 864 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: a different account that you have and looking at all 865 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: that is I have also done. Oh wow, that that hurts. Yeah, 866 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: I think I'm just like really outing myself as a 867 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,239 Speaker 1: very sick person, I feel, I mean, it really is, 868 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: like as much as you can kind of of I 869 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 1: feel like I at this point, I've read so much 870 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: about all these things, and I have so many theories 871 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: about like what it does to our brains, and like 872 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: I've spent we've all spent so much time thinking about it, 873 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 1: and we're not like just like blind automatons like logging 874 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 1: in every day and even still you're basically just recreating 875 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 1: the same behaviors as the people you imagine who don't 876 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: have this kind of self awareness. Like it's almost worse 877 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: to know exactly what all the flaws to the system 878 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: are and get still participated it. Also, every time I 879 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: try to read a book, it's about how social media 880 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: is hurting my brain. So I'm like well, what's even 881 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: the point of books at this time? That even the 882 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: point of books? I know, isn't it a shame? I 883 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 1: never isn't it a shame too? Like I don't read 884 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot of nonfiction books, but like the idea of it, 885 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: you would sit down to read a book and then 886 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 1: the book would be about the experience of social media. 887 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: You're reading the book to get away from Yeah. I 888 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: feel that way when I watched TV sometimes when like 889 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 1: TV shows are about TV shows or entertainment, I'm like, oh, 890 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm bummed out now. I know we need more media 891 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: about just like farmers. Yes, please, God damn it. And 892 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm actually not even joking. I would love to actually 893 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 1: learn more about different kinds of people. Maybe some shows 894 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: that are not about people who work in entertainment or publishing. 895 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: You know, that would be really cool actually and something 896 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 1: no one has ever done. I can't even conceive of it. Yeah, yeah, 897 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: that would be really really interesting. This is George's You're 898 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: starting a program to give voices to farmers who want 899 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,800 Speaker 1: to make TV show. I'm definitely the right person to 900 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: start that program. Starting you're starting an incubator. You're starting 901 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: an incubator specifically for farmers to get in writer's rooms, 902 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: and people are like, so, what, like is your personal 903 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: connection And I'm like, I don't know. I just like 904 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to see some better content out there. Honestly, 905 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,879 Speaker 1: I was spite. I was just annoyed at my peers. Yeah, 906 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: Like I have no connection to farming. I'd not grow 907 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: up in a farm, Like, I just kind of I'm 908 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 1: sick of people that are like similar to me getting jobs. 909 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't even like farmers. They're weird. But 910 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm actually really elitist. But I guess I'm looking for 911 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: a button to this um conversation around well, can I say, 912 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: can I just ask one tiny thing? Is like I 913 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 1: want to go back a little bit to the idea 914 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: of all of this being straight, Like yeah, you know, 915 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: because allegedly that is the topic of our podcast. So like, 916 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: I guess there's there's certain earnestness to it that's straight. 917 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: There's a certain like I said, like kind of main 918 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 1: character syndrome type thing. M hmm, but maybe it's not. 919 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 1: It's a self help there's like a self help element 920 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: to it kind of m It's like there's also there's 921 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: an optimism to it that appears straight to me, that's like, yes, no, 922 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: you're that's actually exactly you hit the nail on the head. 923 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: There's something like almost dare I say, like bordering on 924 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,439 Speaker 1: religious about like I will quit in a big way, 925 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: it will mean something, and then I will be good 926 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 1: from now on. And it's sort of like I feel 927 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: like queer people know that it's never going to get better. Yeah, 928 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 1: they're pessimistic in a different way. Right. Well, it's the 929 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: difference between like thinking one big decision will change everything, 930 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: rather than being like, I'm in this for good. How 931 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: do I minimize that? How do I like thrive despite yes, 932 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 1: the obstacles around me. Straight people always think they can 933 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: make one big change. I'm gonna move to Cincinnati, and 934 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: everything's going to be different. Wrong, wrong, Every problem will 935 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: follow you. It's gonna be worse probably. Yeah, you're living 936 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: in Yeah, you're gonna have to make all new friends. Yeah, 937 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: learn the roads a while. Yeah, the weather is different, 938 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: you have to buy new clothes. I think for me, 939 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 1: I associate it with straightness, partially just because it's something 940 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people, like a lot of 941 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,479 Speaker 1: like straight friends I had growing up have have done 942 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 1: it over the years, but just like the mix of 943 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: like the kind of post that is both like extremely 944 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: self conscious but also somehow deeply condescending because it's we 945 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: didn't even get to that is like how those some 946 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,919 Speaker 1: of those posts, the ones that are eight paragraphs long, 947 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: are like I'm gonna be so healthy so soon, and 948 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 1: you're and look at you reading this post, you're so sick. 949 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: Um so uh yeah. The lack of self awareness and 950 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: and also the condescension that actually does affect me when 951 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: I read it, is it rings straight to me? Yeah, well, 952 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: and going back to Sam's it's actually like very what 953 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: you're saying is like relevant to what Sam was saying 954 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 1: about religion, I feel because it's very much someone being 955 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: like I've accepted Jesus into my life, but I am 956 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: part of an interfaith group. Like it's okay if you're 957 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: a different religion, it's okay, Like I personally will be saved, 958 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: but that's just the journey I've chosen. Yeah, wow, it's religious. 959 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: It's religious, right, So I'm very I'm like happy you 960 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 1: chose this topic because the other one was Mike's hard lemonade, 961 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: and like what would that conversation offen you know, yeah, 962 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean that would be a juicy one. Literally, I 963 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: but I've honestly never had a mikesrd lemonade, So I'm 964 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: kind of glad we didn't talk about it, because oh 965 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,440 Speaker 1: I have. They were actually actually like when I was younger, 966 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how I kind of thought the pinnacle 967 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: of a good alcoholic drink was one that was prepackaged, 968 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: like I loved a Boccardi breezer or a smeared off 969 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 1: ice Like I thought that was like, in my mind, 970 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 1: that was like the main form of alcohol. And then 971 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: if you wanted to all craft craft beer with it, 972 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: you can make your own drink. But yeah, my card 973 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: lemonade is disgusting and it tastes like cough medicine, but 974 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 1: it will get you so fucked up that you'll like 975 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: enter another half to cannon you just like leave the planet. 976 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean that, that's honestly a great sell. I kind 977 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: of want to try one. Um. I think we actually 978 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: did get to the bottom of it. I think so 979 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: too in a way that sorry we're genius is sorry. 980 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 1: We're proud of ourselves. We did it. We did what 981 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: we said, and that's how to do anything. And that's 982 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: a book. We should write a book? That would be 983 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 1: so so hard? Could it be? Honestly, it's really easy. 984 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: It isn't crazy how many people we know that have 985 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 1: written books. It's like sometimes and this is a toxic 986 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: trade of mind, and someone that we know writes a book, 987 01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you didn't. I know. It's also I 988 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: mean I can't even get into this, but sometimes we 989 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 1: do open those books and look inside and you're like, oh, like, 990 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 1: don't let anyone.
