1
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: Okay, podcast starts. Now, what's up, everybody. You're listening to

2
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Stradio Lab the greatest podcast in the world about straight

3
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: culture by two gay guys. So I didn't realize we

4
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: were qualifying it. Okay, Yeah, I guess it is the

5
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: greatest podcast in the world. That is the exact podcast

6
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: that we're doing. Well, I just feel like you have

7
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: to qualify it because you know, before we didn't have

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: like all these listeners, and now we have all these listeners,

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: and they're a lot of them are lawyers, and they're

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: like itching to take action, and it's sort of like

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: a hero villain type thing where they're like, one of

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: these days, I'm going to get you saying something illegal

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna sue you. Think that are are

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: listeners are enjoying the podcast while also looking for reasons

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: to sue us. Yeah, well it's it's it's the backlash

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: era that we've talked about. But this is how it's

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: actually we could have never predicted that it was a

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: legal backlash, and the backlash era is still coming. I

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: have not I have not like moved past my fear

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: of a backlash era. Yeah, I I mean I've actually

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: come to peace with the idea of a backlash era,

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: where like I fear more, um a slight like an

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: indifference era. People are like, yeah, they're fine, Yeah, that's

24
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: actually that's a very good point. But the thing with

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing with an indifference era though, Okay, I

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: remember very distinctly at some point this is maybe like

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Chosen fourteen, when when people still had Facebook and Mark

28
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg was and but then young people were leaving Facebook, right,

29
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and so then Mark Zuckerberg was like, yeah, well I

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: never you know, look at me. I'm not cool, Like

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I it's not like I'm trying to create a cool product.

32
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: I I want to create a product that's like that

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: everyone just takes for granted, like they do electricity, which

34
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: already is dark on on its own. But my point

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: is it's almost like the indifference is almost the goal.

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: You're you're just like a part of the It's like

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: no one questions it, like it's like, how do you

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, I mean, Facebook is a

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: bad example because now it's so passe, but like, actually

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: that's not true. Facebook is still the largest social network

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, who who Who's on a different like

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: what different one has more people. Facebook is like literally

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: like a third of the world. Wow, I guess it's

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: like but you know what I mean, Like indifference, it's like, well, yeah,

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: you're in different to something that is just simply part

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: of your life. Sure, sure, So the goal for this

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: podcast is to become so big, so powerful, so exactly

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: everywhere that people just it's an assumption. It's like it's like, um,

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: people in the New York Times. It's like when I

50
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: see the New York Times. Yes, I have like my

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: own feelings about like what they cover well, what they

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: don't cover well. But but when I see it at

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: like a coffee shop, I'm not like, you get that

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: out of here. I know, I know it's just part

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: of our world. Like I don't get overly excited about it,

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: and I also don't get overly angry about it. It's

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: just they're sure, sure, sure, And so for me, it's

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: like the goal is for every America actually everyone globally

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: to wake up and press play on our podcast and

60
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: be kind of like okay, sure yeah, And I almost

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: want like I want conversations like almost in like small

62
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: talk that you hate, like with your family, Like that's

63
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: where I want us to come up where it's like,

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: what's the most base thing we can talk about, And

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: it's like, let's talk about that podcast radio lapp that

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: is a part of all of our lives and given, Yeah,

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: it's like everyone's confused about what our politics are, so

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: no one can disagree about it. Like it's like, yeah,

69
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I guess they said that the election was all vibes.

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: They you know, people can kind of like have a

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: little debate about that without having to express any concrete views,

72
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: like you know, oh my god, it is. It really

73
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: is very I mean, I guess New York Times a

74
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: little different, but it's almost like you know, sixty minutes sure, sure,

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: it's like you know what it is. It's like, um,

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: it's like a morning show. I actually think, unfortunately that's

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of true. Like I think we're trying to make

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: like jokes, but it's like we are kind of a

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: morning show, like say more because we're not actually talking

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: about anything. This is awful, like we are. I guess

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: the only reason it's not a morning show is because

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: sometimes we you know, get in fights with our guests

83
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, but then much like you know, but

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: but that happens with morning shows. Too. I mean, remember

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: when gayl King interviewed that girl who had the daddy

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: cap Oh classic famous, one of my favorite feuds. Yeah,

87
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, but that's kind of more of a performance.

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: And then it cuts to Gayale and she's like, well,

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: I wish that girl the best. Yeah, well, I guess

90
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: we are a morning show. Have your parents listened to

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: more to this podcast? They've listened a few times. Yeah,

92
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: they think it's they they love it. Yeah, well I've

93
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: told my parents are not allowed to. Yeah. The thing

94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: is like, my parents wouldn't listen if I said because

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: I have said they're not allowed to. But like, it's

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: not it's not gonna not going to really make a dent.

97
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Misha's mom really wanted to listen because of being written

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: up an NPR, and then she did for I think

99
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: one minute. Yeah it's not. It was like, no, this

100
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: does not work for me. Um, but sort of in

101
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: that mom way where she's like, yeah, I think I

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: get what you're doing. So but but maybe this is

103
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: kind of proof positive that we are in fact not

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: a morning show and we will never be The New

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: York Times. If Misha's mom, who I assume is a

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: very sweet, kind of lady from you know, you know,

107
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: probably probably is the type of person to watch a

108
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: morning show. I would imagine, knowing nothing about her yet

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: she listened to thirty seconds of our podcast and immediately

110
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: went to register as a live terry. Yeah. No, she

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: called me after listening and said, she said, listen to me,

112
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: a little bitch. You will never be the New York

113
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Times lady Gaga, you will never be famous. Stephanie GERMANAA

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: will know that's right, that's right. Yeah. Um, but yeah,

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: she's super sweet. Other than that time she called me

116
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: and called me a bit and said everything. There are

117
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: times we can be on the way. We don't have

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: to be a morning show now, but I do think

119
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: that's a good goal to set, Like we'll start becoming

120
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: less and less opinionated, more and more bland, until maybe

121
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: three years from now your grandparents can listen to us.

122
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: That would be huge. What do you think? What what

123
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: do you mean? What do I think? Oh? I thought

124
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: you were about to say something. Well, see, I wish

125
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: I was about to say something. I think I was

126
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: trying to make the face that I was about to

127
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: say something so that something would come up. Oh wow,

128
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: that wait, let's pause on that first you were making

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: the face of someone about to say something so that

130
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: something would come up. Yeah. It's like it's like how

131
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: when you want to fake cry for acting or whatever,

132
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: you like have to breathe a certain way. When you're

133
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: like sad and you want to feel happy, you force

134
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: yourself to smile and hope that it will like then

135
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: work its way back into your body. Or like sometimes

136
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: if you're doing yoga, the teacher will be like, smile, yeah,

137
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: I do think there that is maybe more of what

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to do. Also, when the yoga teachers

139
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: like relax your jaw and you actually are like, wait,

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I needed to hear that. I know. It's one of

141
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: the most depressing things is that like all that yoga

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: and meditation, all that stuff is like a game changer. Yeah,

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: but who is the time? No one, not me. Going

144
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to a yoga class can take upwards of three hours

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: because you have to travel there, you have to do

146
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the yoga that sometimes it's like an hour and a

147
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: half and then but then you're this is someone who

148
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: literally goes and swims in a pool. To me, that

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: would take upwards of seven hours the swimming because the

150
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: way that the y works. You can only book it

151
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: for a half hour, so if you book it, you

152
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: have to reserve it because I say something, I'm sorry,

153
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: what this like American disease of everything being on a calendar,

154
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Like everyone needs to chill out when I like the idea.

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: If I were to explain to my face not to

156
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: pull this car to my family in Greece that people

157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: are out there booking half hour slots on a pool,

158
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: they would be like, that is fascism. Well, the European

159
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: jumped out. I mean, I just can't believe that. Well,

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: it's also it's also a COVID thing. It's also they're

161
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: trying to limit how many people are in there at

162
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: a certain time. I mean, not to not to be

163
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: a fascist, but I kind of love it. I love

164
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: booking the slot you've always had fascist tendencies because then

165
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: you can like you're committed in a way. Yeah, no,

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: that's fair, that's fair. I understand it. I guess it

167
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: is the only way to make yourself do something is

168
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: to pay money to book a slot. Yeah, because if

169
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: it's like I'll go in the morning, that will probably

170
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: not actually go until like ten thirty am. But if

171
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: it's like I booked the nine am slot. I have

172
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to get up early and go yeah, then I'm that

173
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm there. Um, here's a question, should be bringing our guest?

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I think we absolutely should. I completely agree. Well, without

175
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: further ado, Um, I'm trying to think of some sort

176
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: of joke. Well, it's funny because we we've already established

177
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: the fact that we never say our guest credits when

178
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: we bring them on, because that would be capitalist. So

179
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: then it leaves us no choice but to kind of

180
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: pause and be really awkward and then just be like, well,

181
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I guess welcome Alex English, Yeah, Alex this, Yeah, hey France.

182
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Alex would probably address something off the batay, and that

183
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: is that when we got on this zoom you said

184
00:09:52,800 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: you said, you said, can you guys hear my foot massager? Yeah?

185
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: When and when you and and actually I'm still dealing

186
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: with the fact that y'all said yes, which was which

187
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: was also basically saying turn it off. Well, that is

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: an awkward right, It's it's like what if you were like, okay,

189
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: just checking, and then you kept it on, and I

190
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: just kept it on. I just wanted to know. I

191
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: want to draw it here that I have one. It's

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: funny because there's a story behind this foot massager and

193
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: that I went to l A in February and Jordan's Temple,

194
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: my good friend, Uh. I went to his house for

195
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: dinner and he had one of these, and I did

196
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: not have one at the time in my home, and

197
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: so he was like, yes, please have a drink. I'll

198
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: put you a drink, put your feet in my foot massager,

199
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: and have a great evening. And as soon as I

200
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: turned it on, I pulled up Amazon and was ordering

201
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the foot massager to be sent to my house by

202
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: the time I got back home, and so that I

203
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: was literally, yeah, I mean we so like we have

204
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: to plug this foot massage right now. I know this

205
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: is like yeah, I like the I like kind of

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: like the concept of like, oh, yes, foot massage our

207
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: money listen. It was like, what was it a hundred dollars?

208
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure it was not, but if but

209
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: it feels even though I'm sure there are cheap ones,

210
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: it feels like such a luxury to have a foot massager.

211
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: Is this a foot massager that just massages or is

212
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: there kind of a water based element as well where

213
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: you can like soak your feet it's just a machine.

214
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: You put your two feet in ages the machine just

215
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of just God, I'm already relaxed because I'm imagining

216
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: kind of being in a Sharper Image and trying out

217
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: a kind of massage chair. And see that's I think, George,

218
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: that's why it is reads as wealthy to you because

219
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: I get the same thing. That's like when I was

220
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: a child and you'd go into Sharper Image and you'd

221
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: be like, this is the future, and you actually, Alex

222
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: went out and made that the present. And I think

223
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: we have these blocks in our minds like we don't

224
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: deserve that yet. We haven't We're not there yet. No,

225
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: it really is. I think Sharp Image and Brookstone, which

226
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: in my in the mall in New Jersey or I

227
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: that I used to frequent were one across from the other.

228
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: You kind of convince yourself, well, this is just for

229
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: the store, yeah you No, one never imagined yes, yeah, exactly,

230
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: like this is a show room. No no money to

231
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: be made whatsoever. But I love actually making this step

232
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: of being like I am going to get it. I

233
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: mean as soon as you put as soon as I

234
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: put my feet in it, I knew what time it

235
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: was like it was me. I didn't there was no mulling.

236
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever price it is, I'm paying because

237
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: this in my house. God, I love that. Whatever price

238
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: it is, I'm paying it. Like I mean, well, you know, hey,

239
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: maybe a year ago I would have winced at paying

240
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: two hunds of dollars. For sure. I know that I

241
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: noticed that the price is increasing every time you mentioned

242
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. By the end of the episode, you'll

243
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, yes, it was in the market

244
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: of footboers, that's the deal. Well, I should say. Let

245
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: me also just say, if I may, may, I say please,

246
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: I say that I'm we're we are one zoom and

247
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: I can see where we all live and our apartments

248
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: are wonderful, a wonderful are wonderful. I will say, I've

249
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: been to your home. Sam's home is very nice. Yeah,

250
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: and I can see I see big leaf plants. There

251
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: is your home. Yeah, it's true, it's true. I do

252
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: have one foot massage. I wouldn't be supposed that's fair.

253
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, absolutely right, Yeah, you're right, you're right.

254
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: And Alex, I think that's huge that you said that

255
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: to George, because George on this podcast has been going

256
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: through a journey of you know, people would call out

257
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: his apartment for be undecorated. He called out his apartment

258
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: for being undecorated. And so this is a huge step

259
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: in the arc that is George, was that painting a

260
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: jump for you? So this, it's interestingly enough, this was

261
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: so I'll tell you what the jump was. So what

262
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: you're seeing is a poster that truly was twenty dollars.

263
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: But the jump was getting things framed and being like

264
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: I am much like you spent you know, anywhere from

265
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: one hundred to five thousand dollars on your foot massager.

266
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: I was. I went on frame Bridge and I said,

267
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: I have three things I want framed and I'm just

268
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna bite the bullet and pay however much framing costs.

269
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: And when I had that, I mean, you can't see that,

270
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: but there are two other frame things on that one.

271
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: There's that one on that wall. When I did that,

272
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: it just elevated everything around me hugely. Like I don't

273
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: have expensive furniture or anything, but I was like, okay,

274
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm I have it feels like a real apartment. Are

275
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: you both? Do you do you fancy yourselves? Decorators of

276
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: any kind truly. In fact, I would say, hey, you know,

277
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: I crave so much to be in a well decorated space.

278
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: And I do think, maybe this is slightly narcissistic, but

279
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: I do think when I enter someone else's apartment, I

280
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: have enough taste to decide whether I think it's good

281
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: or bad. But when it comes to actually purchasing things,

282
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: my critical faculties just go out the wind. Like I

283
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: can't enter a furniture store and imagine what something would

284
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: look like, or how I would combine like a couch

285
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: with a coffee table. I don't know. It's one of

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: my one of my gravest flaws, truly, truly, And I

287
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: like now that this is like, this is the first

288
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: apartment I've ever lived in where it's like, oh, I

289
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: have to buy things, like like, it's not a sub ledge,

290
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: this is my place. So I I bought it. I

291
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: bought this couch, truly unsure if if it would fit.

292
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we're gonna take a gamble, and it fits. Now,

293
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: could I have sized it up a little differently? Sure?

294
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: You know what am I gonna do? Send it back?

295
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't are we sending things back? That is that

296
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: is That is the biggest question. I think it depends

297
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: on the level of corporateness of the place where you

298
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: get it from. If it's from Amazon, I'm truly like, yeah,

299
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: send it back, actually, just refund me. And I'm even

300
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: keep it like and then if it's like the vintage

301
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: store down the street, and I'm like, I have to

302
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: live with this for the rest of my life. Yeah,

303
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: I'll be transparent. Man, this I think. I think the

304
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: title I'm not a producer, but it's may I the

305
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: same the thing for me because I'm gonna be asking

306
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of permission. Bought a headboard six six

307
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: or seven months ago. Asked me where it is. Oh, yeah,

308
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I know exactly what this is, but my door. Because

309
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: I was I was given I was given a new bid. Yeah,

310
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: I was given Someone was like, I have this bid.

311
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm moving something had been do you want this bid?

312
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I've never been used, like

313
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: just here, this is a new bid, new mattress. So

314
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: those are the kind of friends I have. Just that

315
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: I bought a headboard prior to receiving the bid, and

316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: now I'm just stuck with this loose headboard. Oh so

317
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: the bed already has a headboard that you have that

318
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: you now, Oh, I see, I thought you were saying

319
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: that you are have been kind of procrastinating installing it,

320
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: but no, in fact, you're not actually using this podcast

321
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: to sell this head If anyone needs a headboard, you

322
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: guys please reach out if anybody and need the headboard headboard.

323
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's but I don't back. Yeah, sending things

324
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: back close, like when I order something like their pants

325
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I'm not satisfied with this. I

326
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: don't feel like sending it. I mean, they do make

327
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: it very hard to send things back, Like I actually

328
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: going back to T Mobile and I was like this sucks. Yeah. Also,

329
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: and I don't know, in New York, you have to

330
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: like the lines to to the like FedEx place are insane,

331
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and like you gotta like go to a place you

332
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: gotta like, I don't want hours are weird. Do you

333
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: know what I always I I always whenever I have

334
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: to do an errand like that, I always then become

335
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: like somehow an economist and I'm like, well, time is money,

336
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: And in fact, it would cost approximately seventy dollars for

337
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: me to actually print out the return label and then

338
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: walk over to FedEx and then wait in line. So

339
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: basically I'm saving money by not returning exactly exactly. And

340
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: then I'm just like, well, you know, when it comes

341
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to clothes, I'm like, oh, I'll just give this to someone.

342
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: I'll just like, what am I gonna do? I don't

343
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: feel like putting it in a bed. I don't want

344
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: to go to the to the to the post office.

345
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to talk to a person

346
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: at a kiosk and explain, oh, have you put the

347
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: wrong label on here? Oh box, bitch. I just want

348
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: to throw this ship in a band and keep it moving.

349
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm talking to someone at a kiosk,

350
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: I better be ordering an I that's and now he

351
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: said it, and now he said it. Um. I love.

352
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: This conversation is almost it's like teetering on infomercial for

353
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: like stamps dot com. And so are we coming up?

354

00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: we should help up the business in New York City

356
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: where if you if you don't feel you don't want

364
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: and what's a business. In many ways it is exactly

365
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: like good Will, but we're disrupting that market by not

366
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: having any charitable element. It's just it's just kind of

367
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: a place to put stuff. It's just kinda yeah, yeah,

368
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: there's no second hand store element like. It's just it's

369
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: a it's a warehouse. We come up with the right,

370
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a huge No one's taking it,

371
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: no one's buying it. It's actually it doesn't feed into

372
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: capitalism at all, you know. No, In fact, it's kind

373
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: of I would say it's kind of like a landsill. Famously,

374
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: one of the things that is good in this world

375
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: these days, isn't that's right? Yes, thank you, we're still

376
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: and we're saying, well, listen, there are people out there

377
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: doing much worse. It's just a cute junkyard. We do.

378
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I do think the junkyard could use a millennial facelift treatment.

379
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, it'll be like like it's like junkyard, but

380
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be spelled junkyard and it's like millennial

381
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: pink and rather than being like kind of gross dirty things,

382
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: it's like old West Elm lamps. Yeah, honestly, there is

383
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: a magic to walking around the junkyard and looking at

384
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: junk and picking out before done it before. My grandmother

385
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: used to date like a Sanford and Sun asked nigga

386
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: like one time, like it was it was wild, like

387
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: he's Sam and his name was Sam. Sam used to

388
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: bring us like me and his grandson to the junkyard.

389
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: He just wouldn't be around for like two hours. So

390
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: just two kids walking around a junkyard and just like

391
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: looking at piles of stuff in Detroit. And I was

392
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: just like, how do you. I couldn't compute this career

393
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: of his because he seemingly made money, but I was like,

394
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: where is the money? So he ran the junkyard. I

395
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you. He definitely was around the junkyard. He

396
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: was just around the junkyard staple. Yeah, yeah, wow. I

397
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: He also took me fishing for the first time, the

398
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: only time in my life, and I don't remember getting

399
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: the hook the fish hook, like, oh my god, on

400
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: your arm, like stuck on your arm, stuck on me. Yeah,

401
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's crazy. What's crazy. Fond memories I have too,

402
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: extremely similar, Like my grandpa was obsessed with the dump

403
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: and he would go to the dump and get stuff.

404
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: And then also one time when I was learning how

405
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: to fish as a little boy, I got the hook

406
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: stuck in my head because you like throw it like

407
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to throw it, and it got like stuck

408
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: in my head. I said, I am baked Tenny. Incredible

409
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: having like family members who are like my grandmother has

410
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: a brother and in the family it's always like, well

411
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: he had so much potential but never you know, it

412
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't do anything with his life, blah blah. But then

413
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: in my mind when I was young, so he still

414
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: lives in the village. My grandmother grew up in Greece

415
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: with various other family members. There's like chickens there and

416
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: he like rides a motorcycle whatever, and he let me

417
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: ride his motorcycle when I was truly eleven years old,

418
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is the coolest thing that

419
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: has ever happened. To me, and this was very much

420
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: not a nice motorcycle or a safe one for anyone

421
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: to be on, even as a passenger. But and then

422
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: the other and then speaking of junk yards, I remember

423
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: when I was there because this was like truly like

424
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: what you would imagine a Greek you know, small town

425
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: would be like there was an old car that rather

426
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: than taking it anywhere, it just was on the premises

427
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: and so like plants had started like sprouting out of it.

428
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: And even at that time, I remember being like, that's

429
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: so artistic. Yeah, yeah, it's that's very music video background exactly. Yeah.

430
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: I had a motorcycle as well with my uncle. Me

431
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: and my mom used to send trips to Buffalo up

432
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: state from Detroit. We would drive through Canada to go

433
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: visit my uncle huge motorcycle. He was a part of

434
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: a black motorcycle gang, probably the only one right so

435
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: he uh he. For a summer I think it was

436
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: the summer between sixth and seventh grade, I had my

437
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: I guess my mother was like, look, I'm single, I'm

438
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: a I'm a woman, and you have to get out

439
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: of my house for the summer. Stay which uncle? She

440
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: drove me think when I look back at that. I

441
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: must have been horrible because like that's an eight hour

442
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: drive to and from and she like the Buffalo, and

443
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drive back to Detroit and You're gonna be

447
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,679

00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: is the coolest ship ever. And I'm also learning how

449
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: to be a man. I thought being a man was

450
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: riding a motorcycle. Main had motorcycles. I mean, in many

451
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: ways it is. It was iconic. That was the greatest

457
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: did that. I mean, not not that they it's not,

458
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: but I just feel like, um, I just feel like

459
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: family was always like everyone's kids or everyone's kids, Like

460
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: it was never like you know, there would be like

461
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: a revolving door of like aunts and uncle's coming over

462
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: me going to my grandparents, not knowing when I'd be leaving,

463
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Like yeah, all the time, like you would just get

464
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: dropped off. And like because my mom was like a

465
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: big My mom was a big party er black when

466
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: I was interesting. When she's our thirty, she would go

467
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: out with her girlfriends because she wanted a man. You know,

468
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: she would to get me. She's trying to find her man.

469
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: So I remember being on Friday's Fridays. It was Granny's house.

470
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: You gotta go to how some Friday and then my

471
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: mom will come back at like on a morning, come

472
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: pick me up. I'm sleep. But I always knew because

473
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: my mom always will come back with a picture from

474
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the club nice like suit like a like a suit

475
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: and skirt like like a little hook. They remember the

476
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: club background behind her. So mommy had a good time tonight,

477
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: and she would leave the picture at Granny's house, so

478
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: on the fireplace. There's just a line in her life. Yeah,

479
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: she wanted everyone to know it. And like I remember

480
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: being like going to Buffalo like my uncle seeing it's

481
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: really weird seeing like relatives like uncle, how they live

482
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: when you don't like full time because you don't see

483
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: them in spurts, you know what I mean, Like, oh,

484
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: this is how they present to me for eight hours

485
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: at a at a pick or at a reunion or

486
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: just a visit. But you when you get to live

487
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: with other relatives, it really pulled was the curtain back

488
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: on the whelm because my uncle had sickle sale, so

489
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: he would have moments, he would have flare ups and

490
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: like like little episodes and stuff like that. So learning

491
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: how my uncle lived his life and navigated through that

492
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: was just he was such an elusive figure to me

493
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: because when I got to his place, I learned, oh,

494
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: uncle Derek has two girlfriends. How girl friends, and these

495
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: girlfriends are very utility to the way his life is

496
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: based on the day. So when he was living well

497
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: and vibrant and breathing and happy, that was when Kelly

498
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: was around. Kelly was around. Kelly was the cute, hot girl,

499
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: short long hair, pretty, go to the motorcycle club with him, social,

500
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: all the friends up with her, like it was Kelly's time.

501
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: But when he got sick, here comes Valencia and yeah,

502
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: it's the caretaker. And I don't have to tell you

503
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: what the look how this is. This is fascinating within

504
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: each one of us. There is a Kelly end of Valencia,

505
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: Kelly and Valencia. Valencia was taking care of business. I

506
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: would imagine Kelly just wasn't. I think at some point

507
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: my uncle understood his relationship with her, was like this

508
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: is for show. Wow, we just came, brought her kids, like,

509
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: got the bed together, fixed the meals. Valency. I was like, wow,

510
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: this is fascinating how my uncle lives. Did they know

511
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: about each other? Yes, progressive, Wow, I would say, kind

512
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: of polyamorous icon your uncle. Wow. Well I just thought, oh,

513
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: this is how people live, like multiple partners. Well it's

514
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: but but that's like you kind of realized as you

515
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: get older that what you consider to be the default

516
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: state of things like one husband, one wife and kids

517
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: is so rare simply if you add it all up,

518
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: probably the minority if you include like divorce and single

519
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: parents and gay people, like it's it's simply thought single parents.

520
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this can this can happen. It's

521
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: me and my mom. But then she got married and

522
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: I was like, what the fund is this about? We

523
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: were doing good girl. That's the thing like being raised

524
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: in a single parent home. People love to make it

525
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: seem like it's so bad, but like I had a

526
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: blessed like just me and mom. Mom was my that

527
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: was my good girlfriend. You know, that was well, I

528
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: would imagine. I mean, the fewer people there are, the

529
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: fewer opportunities for disagreements and drama there are. Like when

530
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: I think about my family's five people, at any given point,

531
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: someone's in a fight, just statistically, Like we one time

532
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: took one family trip where we still talked about it

533
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: to this day. No one got into a fight, and

534
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: we were like, wasn't that incredible? Like it's truly one

535
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: trip in like thirty years of being a family. Just

536
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: like single parents, whod is just like your kid is

537
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: your roommate, you know what I mean? And it's just me.

538
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm an only child, so me and my mom are

539
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: bickering like sisters, you know what I mean. Like it's

540
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: just like, girl, get go to your room, but we

541
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: don't tell me, like you know, just kind of back

542
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: in front of Yeah, honestly, I believe that this is

543
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna sound. But truly I think like living with a

544
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: woman by myself for fifteen for about fourteen years, I

545
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: know where this was going truly made me Yeah, like

546
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is what women. This is women,

547
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: this is what Oh my god, advantage advantage, uh, you know,

548
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: homosexuality via sexism or just story. I was like, oh no.

549
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: The first time I saw panty soaking in the sink,

550
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I know, no, girl, we're sucking men

551
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: because I can't about to deal with this. I gotta

552
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: deal with this. Yeah, men are much less gross. Yeah

553
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: they don't soak or clothes well the evil you know.

554
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think feel like I'm educated in women

555
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: so much that like so sympathetic to women's issues, you know,

556
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: because I know what time it is, like truly knew

557
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: what a period was from a very young age, you know,

558
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: whereas men still to this day have no clue what's

559
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: going on. You know, I feel that same the same

560
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: way growing up with only sisters. Guys who have only

561
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: sisters and usually are you the baby, George, I'm the oldest.

562
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: You're the oldest, so I know what you're saying. Though

563
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: it's like being kind of rared by multiple women of

564
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: course will make you gay. Um. And do you have siblings.

565
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm an older sister and a younger brother. You see,

566
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: That's why I funk with you all. And as I've

567
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: always like gays have brothers. That's when it's a problem.

568
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: It is like it is something that I can't imagine.

569
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: They're wired a little differently. Yeah, the brown bitness to

570
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: gaze with sisters. Yeah, well gays, especially older brothers, to

571
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: have an older brother and to have that be your

572
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: an older straight brother and have that be your role model.

573
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Like that's almost like, yeah, it sucks you up more

574
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: than having a dad. Yeah. And it's also like that

575
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: thing like the phen I love it. I love it

576
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: when I meet a gay man that also has gay

577
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: has like a gay brother like that has like, oh,

578
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: we're all gay and his boyfriend has two gay brothers. Yeah. Yeah,

579
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like dynamic because it's like damn, so you've

580
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: just been having to compete with bitches your whole life.

581
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: All right. That's another thing, Like if I had a

582
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: gay brother and he was like hotter than me, I'd

583
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: be like, well I might as well be straight. Yeah,

584
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: Misha's brothers are all different styles of gay, so it

585
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of works. Yeah, Okay, we should do our first

586
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: need to do our first segment. Okay, we actually I

587
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: kind of love that. Um normally we do it earlier

588
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: and I never know. This feels like such a throwback

589
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: to exactly like in our early episodes, we would actually

590
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: get to talking and not care about the segments, and

591
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: it's so nice to it's refreshing today. It's it's really

592
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: be free once again. Yeah, it really that we've created. So, Alex,

593
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: our first segment is called straight Shooters, and in this segment,

594
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: we asked you a series of completely nonsensical, rapid fire

595
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: questions about straight or well making related to straight culture,

596
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: and you have to basically choose one thing or another

597
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: thing is there is no logic to it, and you

598
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: can't ask any follow up questions. Okay, So Alex, God

599
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: save the Queen, or man I feel like a woman?

00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with uh Sunglass even though they tried.

619
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: I tried to work there in high school and they

620
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: told me no. But yeah, that's like a classic place

621
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: you work in high schools. To those high school jobs

622
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 1: when they reject you, it's really like such a burn

623
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: in your memory thing like desperately when I was on

624
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: my Comma but now look at Yeah, like I wanted

625
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: to work at Target and it's like I didn't get

626
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: a job at Target, and it's like, yeah, well now

627
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to and you could have had me,

628
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: and now you're never gonna have a Target. I worked

629
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: at Kroger for two years. I was a bad so

630
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a bad boy. But this is

631
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: how they told me I was gay. I was like, no,

632
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: we want to be a cashier, oh, bagging groceries for

633
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: the straight boys such like uh, like I always wanted

634
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: to be like an ice cream scooper, Like I feel

635
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: like Target and being and like those are such kind

636
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: of corporate corporate dreams. I knew I wanted to do

637
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: something artistic. Know, they told me you did your personality,

638
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: you have to take money. You have to take money,

639
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: you have to talk to the customers, bagging bagging groceries

640
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: for the boys that play football, you know what I mean?

641
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: Like my my community had very different ways of telling me, No,

642
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: you're not like the straight boys. Well there is something

643
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: about how people perceive gayness where they're like they basically

644
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: just mistaken for like intelligence, so they're like, oh, you

645
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: must be what good with spreadsheets? Like lecting money is

646
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: where is what we think you should I think I

647
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: did crave the like cruelty of like corporate America as

648
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: a high school want to work at Target to me, like,

649
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: I I really remember ice cream Scooper was like the

650
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: number one thing. It was the heyday of cold Stone,

651
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: and you wanted to sing it. So you want to

652
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: let that little voice out, you want to make that

653
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: voice shine. But it was not It was more than

654
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: like seeing how they would like mix in all the

655
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: topics or whatever. I was like, wow, this is like, no,

656
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: it's it's our it's cooked with it's it's exactly it's

657
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: a performance performance of it. I mean truly Coastal is

658
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: truly at one point was truly like the Bennie Hannah, Yes,

659
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: Bennie Hanna of ice cream where I'm I'm doing I'm

660
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: using both hands, I'm practically feeding it. T It was

661
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: also one of the first kind of gimmicks I remember,

662
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: like and and Benni Hanna is another one, like the

663
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: the idea that oh this is not like other restaurants

664
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: they cook in front of you. And I was really

665
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: into that, Like when I first like something that has

666
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: a twist to it, the gimmick for Coldstone really really worked.

667
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: It was like it felt so new, and it felt

668
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: so no one's thought of doing ice cream like this,

669
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: and like it's perfect, of course, this is how we

670
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: should do it, or like when they first when when

671
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: you first came out, and they would have the thing

672
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: where you do it yourself and then they weigh it.

673
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: That also, I was like, oh I love that. Wait, okay,

674
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: cold stone is the future of ice cream the dipping

675
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: dots promised. Okay, okay, dipping dots never did it for me.

676
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: I was like, you people are insane either, George, because

677
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this cold snap pepping into my mouth?

678
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: And I just want to eat, bitch, I don't want to, like,

679
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with what is this shocking?

680
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: First of all, I met an amusement park. Okay, I'm

681
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: at an amusement park. I never really see you don't

682
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: really see dipping dots in the wild like this when

683
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: you when you would catch it at like a mall,

684
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: you'd be like, bitch, what are you doing here? You're

685
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be here, you know, dipping dots

686
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: in the why outside of where it usually is contained? Unnecessary? Yeah,

687
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll just say this about gimmicks, like

688
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: everyone now, you know all every everyone we know, thanks

689
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: are so sophisticated going to restaurants and someone comes to

690
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: the table and they're like, so let me tell you

691
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: how this works. That the concept of let me tell

692
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: you how this works comes from cold Stone, and it

693
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: comes from many Hannah, Like, you know your history and

694
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: know that the fact that you think you're doing something sophisticated,

695
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: you are doing cold Stone and many Hanna. You need

696
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: to respect your your history and your restaurant Elders. He literally, Okay,

697
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you're better because because oh the way

698
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: it works is you get too small plates and three

699
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: medium plates. It's like, Honey, you think you're doing Nikki,

700
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: you think you're doing what you're actually think you're doing Cardi,

701
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: but you're actually doing little exactly. Okay, Wow, we need

702
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: to introduce our topic. Yes, so Alex, please um tell

703
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: us what you've brought for us today. So in the

704
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: spirit of what I believe, like my family were talking,

705
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about my family background, and

706
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: y'all asked me to come up with a type of God.

707
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Was like, this is very much straight to me, ironing,

708
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: so active ironing ironing. How and George, when you mentioned

709
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: this before we started recording, and said, you know, this

710
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: is an interesting one because some people might perceive that

711
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: I was gay, but I do actually agree with Alex,

712
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: but I actually agree to Yeah, Like there's a certain

713
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: this is I feel like a punch line that was

714
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: probably like some episode of like a sitcom in like

715
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: it's like someone it's like he's so gay, he irons

716
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: his genes like that. I feel like that was like

717
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: a thing that people used to say, but tell us

718
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: why ironing is straight? Well, just growing up my family,

719
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: which consists of hello, many straight people. Uh, to not

720
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: have your closed pressed, to not have to to have

721
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: creases in your to not have creases in your pants

722
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and your jeans was really frowned upon on and I

723
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: could never really understand why, and to the point where

724
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: like I have relatives still to this day who iron

725
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: not only clothes, but like curtains and like in bedding.

726
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: I was like, why do I need to iron my sheets?

727
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: But I have family members to this day that's still

728
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: do that, And like I'm gonna, I'm may I be

729
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: transparent right now in my home and I'm looking at

730
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: both of them. There are two irons in my in

731
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: my house. I brought there, and not only the reason

732
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: why there are two cold and I know the viewers

733
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: that the listeners won't be able to see this, but

734
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: I'm not bullshit, okay, And so one of them, one

735
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: of them is pink, and what color is the other one?

736
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: They're both pinks, are just from the same family dialet.

737
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: And you can see the difference and a couple of

738
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: mistakes with this one. Right, you have two irons? Do

739
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: you do you carry this? Do you still like uphold

740
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: this tradition? Remember trauma, I obviously attached to trauma. You know,

741
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: my family has scarred me into believing that I should.

742
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: Actually so one of them is broken, one of them

743
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: stopped working. So that is why, in fact why and

744
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 1: I just didn't throw away the us. So I I

745
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: feel like, yes, it is big, the pressure two present.

746
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: In a way, ironing has always been like look your best, yeah,

747
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: so up for the world, regardless of how you feel.

748
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: And it's a very straight thing because I feel like

749
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: in queer culture, especially especially in New York City, everywhere

750
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: I go, no one gives a shit about ironing are wrinkled.

751
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: And in fact, I would dare say that it's considered cute. Yeah, yeah,

752
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: it's term to well, it's it's an honesty. People people

753
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: feel that they're being honest. I feel I think, um,

754
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: I think what it is is in in straight. In

755
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: the straight world, there is one very clearly defined way

756
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: of quote looking nice, Like if you're gonna look nice,

757
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: that means that you are going to have creases. Whereas

758
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: if you liberate yourself from that, you can in fact

759
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: find a variety of ways to look nice. There's like

760
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: nice and you look trendy. There's nice and you look

761
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: like fashion forward. There's nice and you look you know,

762
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what clothes you wear, but you're you know,

763
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: have a cool haircut. Here I say, rolled out of bed,

764
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: didn't look and this is how I'm showing you, Like,

765
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: this is I slept in these clothes. Yeah. But basically

766
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: straight life depends on a difference between casual and formal.

767
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: That's kind of like what crops up the entire It's like,

768
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: that's what religion is, that's what business is. It's like

769
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: you have to divide your life into casual informal. That's

770
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: the ultimate bin area underwear. Have we heard of such?

771
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, once once we get into that STERI tour,

772
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: then it's like, okay, we gotta have like a you know,

773
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: a psychological conversation because did you say ironing underwear, underwear.

774
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: I've met people who have told me, yes, iron my underwear,

775
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: my mom. I fink so my mom irons, I would

776
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: say compulsively and no offense to her if she's listening.

777
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: But and it's not like it's not kind of like,

778
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: oh God, the long suffering wife has to ire. I

779
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: think it's like she needs the activity. She She's doing

780
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: it constantly. And I do think when she puts like

781
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: either mine or my dad, like when she puts like

782
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: boxers away, like when I used to wear boxers, I

783
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: do think they were iron. Yeah, I think it comes

784
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: with age. I think it comes with age too, because

785
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: more recently and maybe maybe you two can relate. I mean,

786
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: I feel like now more than ever, especially since I

787
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: broke this last iron, I'm paying attention to the settings

788
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: on the ali ester still. I was not doing that before.

789
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: It was the iron was on cotton, honey, and we're

790
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: iron in cotton regardless of Yeah, something. One of the

791
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: biggest parts of growing up is understanding settings, like in general,

792
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: like just really it's like even it applies to cooking,

793
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: like I used to think cooking it's like either the

794
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: heat is on or the heat is off. And now

795
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm you know, or like putting things in a washing

796
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: machine and actually caring about the temperature or iron literally

797
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: even like microwaving, being like there's actually a better setting.

798
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: It's like whoa, I'll say this though, may I say this?

799
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: May I say this? You're allowed I have As you

800
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: can see, you can see from the view that microwave

801
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get used Tony, I'm I'm I'm a stove bitch.

802
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm a stove And what is that? Like? It really is.

803
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: It's such a type like there are people that refuse

804
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: to microwaves, just one of them to better and it's

805
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: just better. Get you, get you some pizza from the

806
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: day before, put it in that pappet in it because

807
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: it is there is a taste different, of course. I mean,

808
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: pizza is one of the things where even I have

809
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: had to accept, like you can't microwave pizza. You need

810
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: to put it in the open. But the microwave texture

811
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: it creates and it's its own thing. It's it's a

812
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: fully different beast. I think, I think you can have

813
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: a restaurant with apartment seeing an empty like a gaping

814
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: area where he just this stove ship microwave. I know,

815
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: I think you can microwate just on anything, and yeah,

816
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: it might not taste like it's supposed to, but sometimes

817
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: you need to free your mind from what you're supposed

818
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: to be accept like microwave. Microwave will destroy any textural differences.

819
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: So the best use of it is like, Okay, you

820
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: can microwave a soup. You can microwave you know, I

821
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: don't know, like a stute whatever, but but you can't microwave,

822
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, a sandwich, and that watch me. Like appliances, yes,

823
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: cliences definitely, some are straight and some are gay. And

824
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: I would say iron iron is straight, Okay, between stove

825
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: oven and microwave, I would say, yes, I think, I

826
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: think that. I think I think if we took a pole,

827
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: microwaving definitely straight and putting things in the oven shows patients,

828
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: which is what gay people famously have. They that we

829
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: famously have patients. Yes, it's patients. And it's also creating

830
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: a home. You are there, you know you are, you know,

831
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: you're opening the door and you're kind of everything nice

832
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: and then saying good luck in there and then turning

833
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: the heat on. Well, it's I think, and I think

834
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: stovetop actually could go either way. Because it depends on

835
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: what what form of pan or pot you're using on

836
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: a story. Yeah, and I think microwaving, I would say

837
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: when I when I think of microwaving, I think of

838
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: like TV dinners, you know, and straight, which I apply

839
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: to strip men only suddenly we're in mad Men, right,

840
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: because it's literally in the name hungry Man dinner. That's

841
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: we know that famously. May I say, may I say

842
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: hungry man only straight? Famous? Interesting to be hungry you

843
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: never hungry. Well. There's also the microwave. No offense to

844
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: my co host Sam, the microwave is very efficiency over aesthetics,

845
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: like you don't care what gets destroyed in the way

846
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a hot meal. Damn it. I should

847
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,959
Speaker 1: see a cute microwaves. I've never seen acute micro well.

848
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: I would even say my microwave not cute. And then yeah,

849
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: in in the context of microwaves, it actually looks very nice,

850
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: but it's still it's suspended. I'm like, what, bitch, Actually,

851
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: I talked to Hi about beach you think you cute? Really?

852
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: It does add something? Yeah, in my cabinet, I could bitch,

853
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't you don't think I needed more cabinet space

854
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: right well, for anyone who can't see, Alex's microwave is

855
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: one of those that suspended where the upper cabinets are,

856
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: which I do think is very kind of It's very

857
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: like bachelor pad if I'm anything, and I don't know.

858
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: And speaking of appliances, um, I also have what the

859
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: society loves right now, which is the what's it called?

860
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: The air air friar? A friar? I was losing the

861
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: words something who loves that? How do we how do

862
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: we feel about the air fight? Okay? Can I say something?

863
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: I've never actually looked into what it is. I know

864
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: everyone uses it for a variety of reasons. My mom

865
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: got this for me. She brought it for me because

866
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't really they bought it and

867
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: she she swore on it. One. It's biggest hill first

868
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: of all, you know, it's kind of embarrassingly big. So

869
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: here's what I'll say about things like that. It's like

870
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: you start, you start with an instant pot, then you

871
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: get an air fire, then you get like a large

872
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: toast of and it's like, well maybe maybe just like

873
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: it's like, why are we reinventing the wheel here? Like

874
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: everyone needs to just learn how to use an oven

875
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: in a stone stone. Yeah, I feel like all these

876
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: things like really work great if you have like space

877
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: and most apartments we are going to be in do

878
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: not do not? Yeah, certainly, certainly. And I mean I mean,

879
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: can we just go back to the days where we

880
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: were making grilled cheese sandwiches with irons? You know what

881
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean? Can? And now you brought it all back?

882
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: Now we brought it all back? Um, okay, Alex, Just

883
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: to return to ironing for a second. I do want

884
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: to know, as someone who clearly has a conectional ironing

885
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: at this stage in your life, what do you iron

886
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: and what do you not? So I do iron, I

887
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: will iron a pant, iron a shirt. I feel like

888
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm more inclined to iron a shirt than a pant.

889
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: That's fair. Yeah, that makes sense to me because to me,

890
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: pants have a higher likelihood of just becoming wrinkled. Anyway.

891
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: You're sitting, you're sitting, you're standing, you're moving, you're bumping

892
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: into people, you're you know, you're unbuckling for the for

893
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: the for the restroom. You know, shirts, you know you

894
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: want to keep it as pressed as possible because at

895
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: some point it will by the end of the night.

896
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: If it's wrinkled, no one's no one's upset about that,

897
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: no one's looking at you, no one's pointing, no one's

898
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: laughing because they're like it's been a day, you know.

899
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the idea of someone pointing and laughing

900
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: at you because you are wrinkled, I mean truly, I

901
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: mean growing up like Detroit, like Detroit is a very

902
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: flat she and like you have to be dressed to

903
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: the teens all the time and present yourself. So showing

904
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: up that way, if you did come out the house wrinkled,

905
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: people would ask questions. It might be a sign of

906
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: like you're going through something, you don't have no home training.

907
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Who raised you? You know, that's a who raised you?

908
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: As a big question? Like what the question in my

909
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: community that came up a lot. And having Renkal clothes

910
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: and going in public with Renkal clothes was like a

911
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: are you okay? Yeah? So that's actually one of the

912
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: biggest realizations I remember I had because my parents would

913
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: always basically when we're about to leave the house, they

914
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: would just look at me and my sister's and just

915
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,919
Speaker 1: like list the things that we're wrong with. How we

916
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: look at dress, it's not like you know, they wouldn't

917
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: be like you're ugly. And I was like, why are

918
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: they so strict about these things? And then you realize,

919
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: like this is so obvious, but because it's about them,

920
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: like it reflects on them as they're like you're wearing

921
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: like athletic socks with dress shoes, like people are to

922
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: think I'm not feeding you. People are going to think

923
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: that I don't take care of you, and they they go.

924
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: My my mom was about all the time, Alex, your hair,

925
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: like your hair being looking well, because I don't need

926
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: adults seeing you in public and thinking that I'm just

927
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: calling They're gonna call the people on me. You go outside.

928
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: Was showed with your clothes looking at miss you know hair,

929
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: looking at miss I'm gonna be accused of child neglect.

930
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: Oh I'm like, oh I have. And I still walk

931
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: around ironing my clothes thinking I don't want nobody thinking

932
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: that I come from some terrible ship or I'm going

933
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: through something. Yeah, here to do the Nibodegger thinks I

934
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: don't want Tom being concerned about me. Yeah that I

935
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: feel like for us also like for my parents generation

936
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: Greece kind of like became westernized, like they were like

937
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: they felt the need to prove that they were Europeans

938
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: kind of like because when they were young, it was like,

939
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, more of a wild West. And then they're like, okay,

940
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: we're in the European Union, we have the euro Like

941
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: it's like, well we have to look the part. You

942
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: have to look like you're from France, right, Yeah. And

943
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: I was something with my uncle earlier. My uncle got

944
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: dressed every day to go to the barbershop. He was

945
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: putting on a suit jackly and like, I was like,

946
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: why are we getting dressed up for this? And he's like,

947
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: you never know who you're going to bump into, and

948
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: you never know where you're gonna end up. Honestly, words

949
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: are you having when you don't know where you're gonna

950
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: There is a darkness there. We're like, wait, it was

951
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: a little more predictable my free will, Like you can

952
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: decide when you're ending up. And I would also ask

953
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: this follow up question, where do you think you're gonna

954
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: end up that you need to put on a full suit? Right?

955
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: I like the idea that, like, you know, when you

956
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: say something like you don't know where you're gonna end up.

957
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: That sounds almost ominous, but in his in his case,

958
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: he was like, I might end up at a formal

959
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: wear function. I'm usually just happen you're going to go

960
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: to a formal dinner or like, I don't know your casket,

961
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna die. You already want to be dressed for well,

962
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't a motorcycle gang. Who knows a very very

963
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: well dressed one very well dressed to me, the iron

964
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: it is like, it is very like it's a rule.

965
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: It's like parents telling you to do something, which I

966
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: think is also why the Brooklyn Night of Today is

967
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: sort of like, no, I'm not going to do that. Well, yeah,

968
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: because everyone acting the demands of our parents. I mean,

969
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: Brooklyn has a concept is various people that are like, no,

970
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: momm dead. It's actually insane that is like to their forties. Yeah,

971
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: it honestly, it's definitely going to be people being like

972
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: I am not ironing, just just just read everything our

973
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: parents told us. What's the else to be? But I

974
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: will say I do hate when a shirt is wrinkly

975
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: when I don't want it to be. It's true, it's

976
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: and I have to say that, and I'll say this

977
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: here's where as much as I think I have unlearned

978
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: a lot of the formal, casual binary thinking of our youth,

979
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: when I am at the like when I'm at a

980
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,959
Speaker 1: wedding and I do see someone with a wrinkled shirt,

981
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, who raised you? You didn't know where we

982
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: were gonna be, you know, Like it's like some things

983
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: are clear cut, like if you're going to a wedding,

984
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: where as soon I would say, I would say if

985
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: someone showed up to a wedding black, if I saw that,

986
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: I'd be like, that person didn't know where they were

987
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: going to be today exactly. You just want you just

988
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: you just didn't know you were going to be there. Yeah. Yeah,

989
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: really it's funny when that part of your parents comes out.

990
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah they ain't. I know how I'm training look at it. Wow,

991
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean should we do her fine segment? I've learned

992
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: so much, I have to say, Alex dream guest, Yeah,

993
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: this is really like I've learned a lot too. I

994
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: also mean the fact that you introduced the concept of

995
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: appliances as gay or straight, Like it's like you should

996
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: just host this podcast. Yeah, I mean it almost came

997
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: instinctively to me. I think I think you guys sent

998
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: me the email about coming up with a topic, and

999
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: I walked in my house and saw these two ridiculous

1000
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: as irons in my living room, and I was like, well,

1001
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: that's the topic. Yeah, I'm there are a lot of

1002
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: things that I will be stealing with. For me, that

1003
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: Kelly Valencia binary is something I will be thinking about

1004
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: for a while. To me, I'm dipping dots being you know,

1005
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: not respecting your elders of restaurant. Like I'm glad, I'm

1006
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: glad we got there too. Became it felt like something

1007
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was that that particular subject was

1008
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: resting on my heart the way it was when you

1009
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: brought it up, saying when we kind of dived in,

1010
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, no, it's clarifying, it's clarifying. Wow. Okay,

1011
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: well Sam, do you want to introduce our final segment? Yeah?

1012
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: So our final segments called shoutouts. It's pretty straightforward. Um,

1013
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: we pay homage to the classic street tradition of the

1014
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: radio shout out to anything that we enjoy at all.

1015
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: So imagine it's two thousand one, You're at you know,

1016
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: t r L in Times Square and you're shouting out

1017
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: to your squad back home about anything you enjoy George,

1018
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: do you yeah, I'll go okay, please? What's up for

1019
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: ex some losers? I want to give a quick shout

1020
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: out to the lady that passed by me the other

1021
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: day when I was kind of distracted walking the dog

1022
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm dogs hitting, and I didn't immediately move out of

1023
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: her way because it was a Friday afternoon and I

1024
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: was trying to make sure that dog didn't go into

1025
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: the street. And she walks around me and says, yeah,

1026
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: don't move or anything that's great, and then keeps walking.

1027
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: And then to say, I formed an imaginary response in

1028
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: my head that lasted approximately four hours and ended with

1029
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: so so think about that next time, you, psycho. Really,

1030
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: I have never It was truly after a difficult week,

1031
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I was not really aware of my

1032
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: surroundings and not you know, maybe not aware of the

1033
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: space I was taking admittedly, and the idea that someone

1034
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: on a Friday afternoon, truly, like at five p m.

1035
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: When everyone is out for the first nice day of

1036
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: the year and having a nice time, would decide to

1037
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: walk past me and say, don't move her anything that's great.

1038
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: It made more angry than I have been in decades,

1039
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: and I just want to give a hearty shout out

1040
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: to that woman for really helping me access that kind

1041
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: of anger I have not felt since the election, frankly,

1042
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: and I would like to give her a hearty hoodie

1043
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: who and I hope she can come on the podcast

1044
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: so I can tell her to go fuck herself. Um wow,

1045
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: that's incredible and I love I. Then then what happened

1046
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and then I'll stop talking about this is so I

1047
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: kept walking the dog and truly found myself without intending

1048
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: to a few blocks later reaching her walking right behind her,

1049
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: And so then I kept following her, not like on purpose,

1050
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: but I was like following her for like a few

1051
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: more blocks, And in my mind I was like, do

1052
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: I do a delayed reaction, Like do I literally walk

1053
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: past her and then look back and be like, sorry

1054
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: I didn't move earlier. Have a nice Friday or something

1055
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: I truly like? And I considered it heavily. I was like,

1056
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: and then I had to remind myself like that would

1057
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: be an its psychotic thing to do. And also I

1058
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: just want to say she was literally taking a walk

1059
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: with her friend and having a nice conversation this was

Speaker 1: fell asleep one Oh, no, I fell I ordered. I

1103
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: ordered from a diner, a a a meal. I ordered

1104
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: a French toast. It was a bacon and it was

1105
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: it was eggs, and I fell asleep on it way

1106
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: to sleep on it, you know, just knocked out cold.

1107
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: And I will say, I have a habit. It's a

1108
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: habit of mine that I stopped doing. However, However, what

1109
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I've learned after like looking this particular thing, I learned

1110
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: that this is not I'm not an anomaly. People do

1111
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: this all the time. And so I found a Reddit

1112
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: page that spoke to this issue, and that I learned

1113
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: that the uber when that happens to people, the delivery

1114
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: people eat the food they take. And so I'm like, oh, well,

1115
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,479
Speaker 1: look at me, I'm feeding people. Wow, you're a shout

1116
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:36,680

1117
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,959
Speaker 1: other thing. I would argue, not even argue, because who's

1118
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: who's arguing this? I would say, May I say, may

1119
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: I say this? Not only am I feeding people, but

1120
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: the amount of times that this has happened to me,

1121
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: there's a good chance I'm also feeding a queer person

1122
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: because statistically speaking, totally speaking, I've done this so many

1123
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: times that there's a good chance that I've a queer person.
