1
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Podcast starts now. Podcast has officially begun. How only if

2
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: only our fans could see us, could see me in

3
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: my current state right now. Yeah, so we're doing things

4
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: a little bit differently here today. Um. You know what's

5
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: incredible about this episode that you are currently listen to

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: listening to is that we recorded the whole thing like

7
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: we normally do. We did the intro and then the

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: app um, but our intro here's what's crazy, was so

9
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: deeply unfunny. What's It's interesting because so often we do

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: an intro and then we comment on how unfunny we are,

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: and then we listen back and we're like, wait, are

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: we uh lonely Island. Yeah, we're literally crushing. We're literally

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: making million dollar deals off of this pod. And then

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: this specific when we listened back and we said, you know,

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: we actually were right and that we were not good.

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: We're funny. I mean it really and the spores I

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: didn't actually listen back to you, oh of course not. Okay, great,

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: But that being said, I remember I have the memory

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: of an lfall, and I just could tell that we

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: were so deeply unfunny. I remember being in a one Okay,

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: not to make an excuse, and I'm making excuses. I

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: was in an awful mood. That sounds like an excuse,

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: but okay, go on, UM two, that's actually my only,

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: um justification. That's all you need. Hunting. Yes, I'm moody,

25
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: and it affects my work, which is why was I Yeah,

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: what was your deal? Why couldn't you carry me on

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: your back when were we recording? Oh? You know what

28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: it was like because of some weird thing we had

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: planned the episode last minute, and I just like, was

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: not in the mood. Also, here's another way and why

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: I know it's unfunny. Normally, we will um, we will be,

32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: we will feel like we're not doing a good job,

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: and then we'll look at our guests in the zoom

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: and the guests will be kind of like suppressing laughter

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: or kind of giving us like some positive reinforcement. And

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: this time, and I hope Julie is not offended when

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I say this, but this time I could see concern

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: in her eyes. I could see real concern and even fears,

39
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: that sort of feeling that you don't see much anymore

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: now that live comedy is is canceled. But back when

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: live comedy has happened, you'd see that fear in all

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the comedian's eyes when you sort of roll up to

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: the show and be like, oh, no one's here, and

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: yet we're gonna do it. That Remember the feeling I

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: remember like looking knowing your bombing and looking at the

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: audience and and making eye contact with another comedian. Oh

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: don't I know it? I'll you know. My favorite bomb

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: was bombing in front of Ray from HBO's Girls. And

49
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: I went up there and I said, I thought you

50
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: were gonna say Ray Sonny, no, no, no no, um

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: beloved um Brooklyn fixture Ray from HBOS Girls, Um. And

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I you know, I see him in the audience and

53
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: I go, damn, after this, he's gonna be like, hey,

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: let's chill together. And that No. In fact, he was

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: sitting on my coat and me having to tell him

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: to stand up for a moment so I could grab

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: my coat to run out of the room was one

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: of the worst feelings I've ever had. I think I

59
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: feel like him. So to say is we bombed this

60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: intro and it was beautiful. Hey, I feel like he

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: his He probably sits on so many coats, you know,

62
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: he's so desensitized. He probably sits on so many coats,

63
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: which which actually I just feel like that is that

64
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: is what he would like. That is what everyone's story

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: with that actor would be, as like, Yeah, he was

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: sitting on my coat. So I had to like reardly

67
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: like tell him to sit up, like stand up a little.

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: He was acting weird. And then also I noticed he

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: was sitting on my coat. But yeah, that intro it'll

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: go down in history as the it'll go with the

71
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Lost episodes. Yeah, it will not go down in history,

72
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: and thank God for that. So speaking of I want

73
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: to say sitting on coats, Oh God, here we go, George.

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: This is being recorded merely. I want to say, twelve

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: hours before it's going to come out, tell me about

76
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: where you are right now. Well, here's the thing I believe.

77
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come out and say it. I had ask surgery,

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: You've got your you got you had an emergency elective surgery.

79
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I would not say it was the emergency, but I

80
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: would say it was a procedure, so purely cosmetic or yeah, yeah,

81
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: purely cosmetic. I'm actually getting a second hole inserted. That's incredible, congratulations.

82
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and there are gonna be two buttholes that

83
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: are parallel to one another, but it's not gonna look

84
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: like anyone else. It's so important in this industry to

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: like carve out your niche. Yeah, And I went in

86
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: because I was having some issues, and I said, make

87
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: another hole, but have it have the same issues. Damn,

88
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was. I know it's it's routine surgery,

89
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: which um is fine. But what happened was I said, um,

90
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: you know what, how long is the recovery period for this?

91
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Because listen, I have things to do. Yeah, um, I'm

92
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: a busy, busy um person. And uh, he said, you know,

93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: he gave me painkillers and he said, you know a

94
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: lot of people don't even need these, Like honestly, people

95
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: go into work like the next day often and like

96
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: it's totally fine. Cut to me truly in bed for

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: four days straight on percoset, unable to sit up straight.

98
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: And also it's this thing like I can't sit up

99
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: so I have to lie down. But then I also

100
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: I am not allowed to drink caffeine, so I effectively

101
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I am not allowed to wake up. Do you know

102
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: what it's like to wake up and then have to

103
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: keep like your only choice being to keep lying in

104
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: bed without coffee. It's on good morning. Um, please don't

105
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: do surgery on my hole til I've had my coffee. Literally, dang, well,

106
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Um, you know, I'm wishing your whole the best,

107
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the listeners at home will be saying

108
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: some extra prayers for that whole of your I mean,

109
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: it would be nice if I got some fan mail

110
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: about specifically my whole, but nothing yet. So yeah, so

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: so so before when I said if you could see me, now,

112
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: what I did mean was that normally I'm sitting at

113
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: my desk when we do these. Right now, I'm only

114
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: comfortable on my couch, and I the only place I

115
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: could put the mic is on a chair, So I'm

116
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch and bending over. Um uh so

117
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: I'm kind of making a forward bridge shape so that

118
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: i can speak into the mic. Wow. Well, you know,

119
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: in solidarity, I'm sitting on the floor. I'm I'm trying to,

120
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, find find the pain that you feel and

121
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: sort of create it for myself. But instead I feel incredible.

122
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: And I'm back in New York. Did you notice? Oh wait,

123
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, this is New York. Oh wow,

124
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I guess it is New York. Congratulate. I literally wasn't

125
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: even going to invite you to my birthday party because

126
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think you were in New York. That is absurd.

127
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: You all would have been awkward, awkward Turtle. I mean

128
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: that literally would have been awkward Turtle. That would have

129
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: been crazy. But then imagine the episode afterwards of us

130
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: dealing with the aftermath of me not inviting you to

131
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: my birthday. I mean, it's good TV. It really would

132
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: be awkward, awkward turtle if I had a birthday party

133
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: and didn't invite you. And then I was like and

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I like, when are were recording next? And you were like,

135
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: I can see that you're at the park. Oh my god,

136
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Wow you're having a core beat. I guess. So, I mean,

137
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: I haven't decided yet, and I should it's in a week,

138
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: but I also like, I don't know. I guess. I

139
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: guess having a park thing is is not depressing. I

140
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: think anything else is depressing. Yeah, my birthday was really depressing.

141
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I think that's actually part of why I was in

142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: a bad mood last episode, because my birthday was the

143
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: day before and it was just kind of inherently depressing.

144
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: What did you do. I was home right and I

145
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: went to uh swim in the lake, and that was

146
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: what I did, and I finished my book. I thought

147
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: for a second, you like you met you were you

148
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: finished writing a book, and I was like, oh god,

149
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: damn it. Not now, okay, don't brag about finishing writing

150
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: a book, right. You know I can tell um the

151
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: mental state you're in when you assume I finished writing

152
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: a book. That is such a leap that it really

153
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: is more of a peek into sort of your psyche

154
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: right now. No, you feel like we increasingly you hear

155
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: people saying I finished my book and it means they

156
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: finished writing it, and you're like, shut up, honey, writing

157
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: a book. I'm trying to finished reading one. Yes, yes, uh, unbelievable.

158
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: It's actually hard to read a book too, And people

159
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: don't give you enough credit I should get. I mean

160
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people who write books don't read them.

161
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: And I can tell based on the things I've read. Yeah,

162
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: that's true. Um well, I also want to talk about

163
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: one thing that has been incredible and we always knew

164
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: when we started a podcast is that this would inherently

165
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: shift the culture in huge ways. Yeah. Shift is even

166
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: too narrow of a term, because I think it's it's

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: more of a constant Simon says, situation where we say

168
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: something and then culture follows. It's not it's not one shift.

169
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh that was the cultural reset, and

170
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: then we kept going. It's like every time we open

171
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: our mouths, something happens. It's absurd. At this point, let's

172
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: run through this point. At this point, honestly, find something new. Culture,

173
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: stop copying us. We are just trying to do a

174
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: podcast that we literally we just want to speak. And

175
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: sometimes the things we were, the things we speak into existence,

176
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: we don't even want. We just made a joke. We

177
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: just were just joking, sport. We're literally j k ing

178
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: jk Rowling, jk Rowling. Who we love? Yeah I love

179
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: jk Rowling, um um j K. But we don't. But

180
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: but here are Okay, let's let's take them one by one.

181
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: I do think the first the first time I saw it, Yeah,

182
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: Sarah Highland, Sarah Hiland. We talked about Sarah first of all.

183
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Not only did we talk about her, but during the

184
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Io Debris episode she came um and actually guested for

185
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: around three minutes. Yeah, she was on the pod. She

186
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: was one of our secret guests are dropping. We didn't

187
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: even include her in the in the episode description, and

188
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: then that week, of all people, she was a guest

189
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: judge on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars five. And what's

190
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: crazy is I remember you brought up the use of

191
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: the name Sarah Highland and it's kind of another Alice

192
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: in Roman situation where was like, I have no idea,

193
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you rarely know the names of women they a have

194
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: you have face blind us, but just for women's names.

195
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: But you said it, and I was I I just said,

196
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: just run with it, improv you know. Yesterday, Um, and so, I,

197
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: who did you think I was talking about Spilett? I

198
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: thought you were talking about the mom on Modern Family,

199
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: Julie Bowen. Julie bow famously dated Tucker Carlson. Yeah, like

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: in high school or something. No, I think like recently.

201
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: Oh damn weird. I'm not going to fact check that,

202
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: but I'm going to stand by it. Okay, I love

203
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: that fact So we mentioned Sarah Highland and then the

204
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: next week she's guest judging on drag Race. Okay, one, fine,

205
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: that's one. That's okay, that's a coincidence. I'm not I'm not,

206
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, saying anything bold yet let's do let's do

207
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: the third one second, because that's because then we're going

208
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: to end with the most impressive one. Of course. Of course,

209
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: So second thing, who who is the guest judge on

210
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: this week's RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars five? But bb

211
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: rexa who we spoke about, we spoke about extensively in

212
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the Max Wiard episode and maybe in other episodes probably

213
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: not okay, but I will say, you know who is

214
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: out there talking about bb only so the fact that

215
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: we talked about her and then a few months later

216
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: here she is. It's like, you know, drag Race, I

217
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: feel like it's there's a not bottleneck effect. What's the

218
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: what's the word I look for. It's like it starts

219
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: at the fringes of like what's considered mainstream gay culture

220
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: starts with the fringes, which is of course podcasts. And

221
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: so when we and there is someone one of the

222
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: producers that RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is listening to

223
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, Stradio Lab. They are going to the d

224
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: I Y clubs, they are going to the secret basement

225
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: quarantine orgies, all of this very kind of punk rock

226
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: d I y queer culture that that you know, maybe

227
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: it's too sick and dirty and twisted for most audiences.

228
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: They're going there and they're saying, what's on the come up?

229
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: What are gay people on the fringes talking about? And

230
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: sure enough it's Sarah Highland and b b Rexa And

231
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: so you know, at this point it's weird. I mean, okay,

232
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: the b b Rexa thing, It's like, all right, fine,

233
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: it's been a couple of weeks. But Sarah Highland thing

234
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: to talk about her that episode and then have her

235
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: go on drag race clearly on Speed that week. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

236
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: And then number three, and this is a huge one.

237
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: I bravely came out about wanting to watch Chuck and

238
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: Larry have sex in the film. I now pronounce you

239
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: Chuck and Larry. I. I gave a call to our

240
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: listeners to please put together some sort of I don't know,

241
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: deep fake sex scene. I don't care. I just want

242
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: to see it. And then it's put on Netflix not

243
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: a week later, and then it rises to the top

244
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: of the charts, and people, the way we're speaking right

245
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: now makes it seem like we're joking. This is not

246
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: a joke. Is Chuck and Larry is like trending on

247
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Netflix and a movie that is by all means should

248
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: be banished. It should it should be illegal. They should

249
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: give the last DVD to you so you can live

250
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: out your little sick and twisted fantasy, and then they

251
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: should banish it from everyone else. Yeah, because I want

252
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: it for good reasons. Yeah, you wanted for porn, but

253
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: then and then it's fine. And then people were posting

254
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: takes that were like it's like like, we don't actually

255
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: need to go into why the movie is problematic, you

256
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. There were people that were like, um, okay,

257
00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: this is trending on Netflix. Miss me with that homophobia. Actually,

258
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: we don't need to like analyze it. Everyone's on board

259
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: with the fact that I now pronounce you Chuck in

260
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Larry is not like advancing the cause. I love that.

261
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I think, Um, some people are so dumb sometimes it's

262
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: really crazy. It's like just this movie is this movie

263
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: is so bad that it's yeah, you don't you're not

264
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: doing social justice when you tweet about how it's bad. Yeah,

265
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: that's like tweeting about like not eating shit every single day.

266
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, duh, miss me with that eating ship

267
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: every day, not nutritious, not good for you, just not

268
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: just not good for you, and not ethically sourced unless

269
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: you're making your own. That's right, plug Ben, moment for

270
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: my poop. Wow. Um well yeah, so yeah, where's the thing.

271
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Have you had any desire to rewatch it now that

272
00:15:53,720 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: it's on Netflix? Um? I mean I am curious. I

273
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: never saw it. I never did it. No, I always

274
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: wanted to see it. I can't believe after all of this,

275
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: you've never seen it. Yeah, it's the one that got

276
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: away for sure. I I mean, I'm going to watch

277
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: it at some point. Yeah, you have to. I have to.

278
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean I since we've talked about it, I've watched

279
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: the trailer a few times. Okay, so I'm kind of

280
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, I do wonder what our next thing that

281
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: we've predicted will be. Like I'm trying to think back

282
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: to what was our last episode before this, the Udora app.

283
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: Do you think they will start um changing the rules

284
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: to sports so that only tall and wide people get metals?

285
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think they already are, Like we're seeing

286
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: that sports are not sustainable in the COVID era, They're

287
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna wait, Yeah, it is true, measuring height and width

288
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: is something you can do via zoom, So like that

289
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: would actually be a good way to replace sports in

290
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: the COVID era. It would be so good. And you know,

291
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: if you could just hide all those facts from the

292
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: internet and then have people sort of guess and and

293
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: then we actually measure them and there could be sort

294
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: of a game about like putting things to scale next

295
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: to them to like give people hints so how tall

296
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: they will be. I think it could be any sports

297
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: are being canceled, and that is our influence. There's our

298
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: fourth and final influence. Um, well, this is very w

299
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: t F how we're doing this where um, you know,

300
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: we recorded this little intro sort of separately, sort of

301
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: taking away that general natural flow. But um, and when

302
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: it ends, we're going to go right into Julia and

303
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be jarring. It's gonna be immediate. Yeah, she'll

304
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: probably a reference things that we said in the normal intro.

305
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: It won't make any sense. And honestly, we're not going

306
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: to cut that out. I don't. I already told Sam,

307
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm still recovering from surgery, so I can't edit a podcast. Yeah,

308
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like trying to do an audition and I'm

309
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: like bad at them, so I don't really have much time.

310
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I wish we could talk about your audition, but unfortunately signed. Yeah,

311
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: let's just say samancing to a dramatic monologue. Let's just

312
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: say auditions are just my way to give casting directors

313
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of blackmail material every single day. It's

314
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: amazing to auditions for stuff for years and never get

315
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: any of them. It's sort of like, why are we

316
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: doing this? No, you can't ask that. I mean, like,

317
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: please send me more. I love just talking talking it

318
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: for the experience. I love doing things for experience. I

319
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: When I start getting paid for things, I'm gonna quit.

320
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: That's selling out. Uh. Anyway, Um, if anyone wants to

321
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: cast me on High Maintenance or even Search Party, I

322
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: know technically I'm not on those shows, but technically I

323
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: could be a recurring character from season one even Yeah,

324
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: and if anyone wants a cast man HBO's Girls season three,

325
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: want to I'm more than willing. I mean, I'll just

326
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: I'll give my jacket so that Ray can sit on

327
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: it if that's what. If anyone wants to put me,

328
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: I want to be in a season two I think

329
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: maybe season three, the Beach House episode of Girls. I

330
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: think I would fit in really well, that's a great one.

331
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: You can play one of the gay guys. They can

332
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: just edit you in and I would just to play um,

333
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: Carrie Russell's part in the Americans. So if anyone has

334
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: any connections over at f x X, and you know,

335
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: while we're doing this, if anyone could just edit together

336
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: a quick little um scene of Chuck and Larry having

337
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: sex with each other, I think that would be actually

338
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: really helpful for our nation and they would solve all

339
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the homophobia of the first edition of the film. Yes,

340
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: and speaking of homophobia, I think that um, I should

341
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: be uh in that show. Um um, I think I

342
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: should play and insecure. And I'm not gonna say any

343
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: more about that. Okay, case closed. Um I guess we

Speaker 1: end of our segment, Julia is your dad. The all

382
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: press is good press is how I feel about podcasts.

383
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: It's like, sure, I'm not being funny up top, but

384
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: all podcasts are podcasts. I think. Yeah, all press is

385
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: good press is also the case when you are the

386
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: one putting out the press and no one's picking it

387
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: up right, which, and by extension that means kind of

388
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: just talking in generally is inherently good. Yeah. Making noise, clamoring,

389
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: if you will, it all counts. If you are not

390
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: making noise, you're not paying attention. If there's two things

391
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: we should all be doing it's making noise then taking

392
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: up yes, yes, talk more, listen less, I've got yes,

393
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: thank you, especially in this moment, in this climate. If

394
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: you're not just yelling into the void, you're not doing it.

395
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: You're not an ally. That's three's three white people. Absolutely,

396
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: we're not. If we're not speaking loudly, if we're not

397
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: listening as little as possible, we're not doing our job

398
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: as allies. Sometimes I listen. Sometimes I listen and I'm like,

399
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're getting complacent. Some nonsul pause and

400
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: just sort of reflect, and I'm like, this is the

401
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: problem of rangs. Things you can do is reflect. I

402
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: don't recommend that because when you're reflecting, that time when

403
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: you could be telling someone how they should be doing

404
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: stuff better. Exactly why reflecting it's so? It's so, I

405
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: would say, it's really, I think it's physically. So often

406
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: people get hurt and that I mean literally, like silence

407
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: is violence, Like that's a real phrase. Violence. That's why

408
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: you never can reflect or you know, consider your own

409
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: That's what nobody's talking about. Nobody's talking about, and that

410
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: is perpetuating the psycho This is crazy. We actually cut

411
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: the whole intro, we found something funny. Cut the camera's

412
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: dead ass, wow, Twitter one period I do love. You know,

413
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: there are I have to say, so much of meme

414
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: culture is a stain on society, But there are a

415
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: couple of things, and cut the cameras dead ass is

416
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: one of them that I do really enjoy. Another one

417
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: that I enjoy is when people have post that video

418
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: of Michelle Obama where she's like, um, hey, queen, you

419
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: have done it again, constantly raising the bar for I

420
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: have on multiple occasions just commented that on like a

421
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: female singers tweet. George, you just did my favorite thing,

422
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: which is when you pronounced hard singer finger Yeah, what

423
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: do I have? Singer? Singer? Singer singer? Huh? What about

424
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: finger fingers? You do do pronounce the hard gene finger wow.

425
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: Like to me when someone says, like a great reminder

426
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: that English is my second language and my immigration story

427
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: is universal. I love when people say singer because to

428
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: me it implies like someone in the Midwest who like

429
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: is like going on a reality show to make their

430
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: dreams come true, and they're like, I just always wanted

431
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: to be a singer, and that's um kind of that's

432
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: what I love. Now that's totally not what I'm like, Well,

433
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: is that what you guys think of? No? No, no,

434
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: no no no no no no. Um okay, wait, this

435
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: is feeling like very collegiate right now, this whole the

436
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: pod to me is feeling so college right why, Like

437
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you guys are like really college like

438
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: right now. I feel like I'm in some sort of

439
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: discussion like would that. Julia did use the phrase municipal government,

440
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's where the tone really changes. I

441
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: think I also identify both of you as um smart.

442
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: That's that's where you're wrong. I do consider Julius, well,

443
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Julia is someone who knows about the government, which no offense. Julia.

444
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to place any labels on you,

445
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: but that is a very straight quality that you don't know.

446
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's um. It's actually was on

447
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: my list of of pitches for for the show of

448
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: what my angle of straight culture would be. But yeah, well,

449
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: Julie's one of those people were like, you know, how

450
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: there are certain things we've all agreed, we don't really

451
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: know how they work, and you'll be like a yeah,

452
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: but like no one knows and then Julie would be like,

453
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: I do. It's like that's toxic. Well, Juliet, but you don't.

454
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: You don't see yourself as smart, not in the way

455
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: that George is that I would see someone like George

456
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: as smart. But we I mean, George and I go

457
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: back and forth. That's true about this all the time,

458
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: and it's usually just me conclusively saying it's George George

459
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: conclusively that's good. Okay, Well conclusively I mean yeah, I

460
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: mean yeah. George and I famously worked at the same

461
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: university for an illustrious period of time at very different positions. No, Sam,

462
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: not every university is a Harvard. Um and I was

463
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: a janitor with a secret and and I was played

464
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: by many drivers. Um no. But we had very different positions.

465
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: And I feel like, um yeah, I don't want to

466
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: put George on the spot, but he's very smart. You

467
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: don't know you you're he's very smart, and um I

468
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: constantly I feel just dwarfed by his by his cultural

469
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: references and his ability to well. But I think this

470
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: is a symptom of something else, Juliette. If I were

471
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: to psychoanalyze your which is that I feel like the

472
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: things you know you consider obvious, and then the things

473
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: other people know you consider like huge accomplishments that they

474
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: know them. Okay, I really don't want you to speak truth.

475
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't want you to speak truth into my life

476
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: right now. I'm so sorry. That was the one rule

477
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: you told the truth in your life. And um, I

478
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: feel attacked, and um I will not I will not

479
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: be reflecting on this. Okay, Okay, don't we got dangerously

480
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: close to reflecting? So wait, um, should we maybe going

481
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: to straight shooters? Wait? Would that be crazy? I mean

482
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: it would be a little crazy. What do you think

483
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: I feel? They were like flying through this podcast like

484
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna be done before lunch. I got it. You

485
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: guys just want to like get me out of here.

486
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: But no, no, if anything gets the opposite said, I

487
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: want to get to our topics, so I want to

488
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: get everything else out of the way. Wow. Well, but Sam,

489
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have any other idea, Okay, you're

490
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: attacking me today. I am on trial. You are. Just

491
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: take the debate debate cap off for once second. I

492
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: know it's true. Once it's on, it can't come off. Um,

493
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: what's the like? Debate debate culture is also like a

494
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: huge straight thing. Um, well, because it's like like the

495
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro style where it's like, come debate me, like

496
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: you coward, debate me. Well, it's also just like I

497
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: do think debating is like a useful skill, but when

498
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: you kind of fetishize the act of debating over like

499
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: having an opinion, Like when you're just assigned an opinion

500
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, now debate that, and the the kind

501
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: of like cheapens the idea of opinions. Do you want

502
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: to know something? What? I hate debate like more than

503
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: anything on earth that makes sense, doesn't listen. Ultimately, I

504
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: do too, I think I I theoretically do hate debate

505
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: more than anything else, And I think all it does

506
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: is breed little reactionary dumbasses. But at the same time,

507
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: has it shaped every fiber of my being? Yeah, No,

508
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. It's like just we should all

509
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: be able to be able to We gotta let's agree,

510
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: Let's like find the thing that is true drives let's

511
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: disagree and be okay with that or disagree and that's fine. Yeah, well,

512
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: but isn't that actually like I was never in I mean,

513
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't even think we had a speech and debate

514
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: team in my high school. But isn't that kind of

515
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the spirit of debate is that, like we disagreed, but

516
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: both sides are worth hearing. I know which I guess

517
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: is equally toxic. That's toxic. It's very both sides culture. Well.

518
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: The thing with both sides is that the two sides

519
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: are either both sides can be good or both sides

520
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: cannot be good. And the issue is determining when the

521
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: first is true and when the second is true, because

522
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: some disagreements are healthy and some are unhealthy. Oh my god, Okay,

523
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm lost. I'm well. I just won that. I mean,

524
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Burnee Brown order in the court. Renee Brown moved to

525
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: the side, please. I wow. You know, in college, I

526
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: tried to like audition in for like this like society,

527
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: because I was like, I want to be pretentious, like

528
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm smart, I read, and then like I love that

529
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: that being the driving factor, Like wait, I want to

530
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: be pretentious. Where can I audition truly? And they were like,

531
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: we hold him. We hold auditions all week. You like

532
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: come to this like dorm and you like sit down

533
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: at a table with like four other people and you debate.

534
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, who cares like I'll riff.

535
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm smart, let me go. It's like a it's

536
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: like a salon almost, like at and I like sit

537
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: down and I they're like, so what do you do

538
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: with the college? And I'm like, I do improv And

539
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: they're like and they were like, oh so okay, so um,

540
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: like do you actually think like that's an art? Like

541
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: how is that helpful in any way? And I was like, well,

542
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: it's all it's like, you know, it's useful and this, this, this,

543
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: this this, and they're like oh so, but like like

544
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: their debating was so stupid, but it like still made

545
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: me lose immediately, Like I got, oh my god. They

546
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: trying to bait you about whether improv is good or bad? Yeah,

547
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean that is that is the only debate worth having.

548
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that's true, but it didn't even It's also

549
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: like if I and I will never defend improv, but

550
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: like you're a debater and you're trying to tell me

551
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: improv is bad, right, like your whole thing is to

552
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: chill out. Also, I think improv is fine. I just

553
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: think it's the improv industrial complex that is bad. Yeah,

554
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: which I guess you could also say about debate. A

555
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: lot of people, A lot of people assume that I

556
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: did debate in high school because my personality is bad.

557
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, um, but I could. I mean, I could

558
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: obviously see you doing debate in high school. But I

559
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: also do think too. I mean, in regards to like

560
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: your belief that you are somehow less smart than you are,

561
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: I do think if you had done debate, you would

562
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: have developed more of a narcissist, a narcissistic personality disorder

563
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: in which you would not feel like you were not smart,

564
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: and that alternate universe me would have been so powerful.

565
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: I think we can you would have literally been president. Okay,

566
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: is debate or stand up comedy worse? Because it's stand

567
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: up is more fascist because it's literally just you on

568
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: a microphone talking to an audience. And then debate is

569
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: like neoliberal because it's like two people performing a debate.

570
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: But then like no one implicated in the issues has

571
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: any say in it. Okay, I'm a genius. I'm like

572
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: what Okay, So so here's the thing. It's like, debate

573
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: is mackenzie, stand up is gilllead pharmaceuticals? Right, wait, what's McKenzie?

574
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: It's consulting Okay, I knew that it's insulting firm that

Speaker 1: Buddha Judge was in. Okay, cool, cool, cool dude, is

00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: that I they're both so sexless to me in different ways. Yeah,

581

601
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: is very much like Tanash in that way and that

00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: you always think it's about to happen and then it

Speaker 1: album though, and she's a singer. She's a singer. Do

606
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: you think she could be a good VP? Depends on

607
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: what her debate skills are, Like I guess that's true.

608
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: Is Tnah more debate or improv? I think Donata is

609
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: actually more improv, but the label is more debate, and

610
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: that's why she hasn't been able to break through. I

611
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: think she's like like one of those Instagram choreographers where

612
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, like I like this, but like, what

613
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: are we gonna do with it? Yeah? You're right, that's

614
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: exactly what she is great. Wells later we should play

615
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: a game where we figure out if someone is improv

616
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: or debate. Okay, okay, wait, so Pete is Pete improver

617
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: debate debate in every couple? Probably? Do you think to

618
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: be in a healthy relationship one of the healthy non

619
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: poly relationship, I want to be inclusive. One of the

620
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: people needs to be debate and one needs to be

621
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 1: improv or can you have improv improv and debate debate?

622
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: I think I think you can have um trying to.

623
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: I think you can have those uh, improv, improv debate

624
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: debate relationships and I'm sure they would be very happy

625
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: with each other, but they would both be insufferable to

626
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: everyone else. Yeah, you need the balance. Yeah, the balance

627
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: is key. Wait not to be like one of those

628
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: like who are you fucking pods? But like Julia, do

629
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: you are you dating someone? No? I haven't had sex

630
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: since March and that was our segment. When was the

631
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: last time? Yeah? I wow? I mean, and I do

632
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: think that it's it's violence when any of my friends

633
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: are getting laid um during quarantine and I'm not um,

634
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: but it really is one of the starkest markers of

635
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: inequality in our society, like absolutely. I also, don't you

636
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of secret fucking happening? Yes,

637
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: yes I do, and I want to do some of

638
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: it and I can well listeners, this is a Juliet

639
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: Claire challenge, honestly, Julia, now that both of your roommates

640
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: have moved out, you can literally like invite people over

641
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: in social distance with them other than the fucking Yeah,

642
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: you could like hold interviews and stuff to see who

643
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: you want to suck Now, okay, maybe we'll do a

644
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: reality show. That's what I want. Yeah, that's why I

645
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: came on here. So, Julia or I guess Sam? Are

646
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: you debate or improv in your relationship? I unfortunately think

647
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: I am improv right, yeah you are. But I don't

648
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: know if I would identify Misha as debate, Like is

649
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: there a third category? I know that's the thing, Like

650
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm more debate than he is, but I

651
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't identify him as improv. You think you're more debate

652
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: than he is? Interesting? Do you think you have stronger opinions?

653
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: And does? I think I have stronger opinions? And I

654
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: feel like I'm like always talking really serious to him?

655
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: Whoa Okay, so I can talk about like who I

656
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: want to have sex with it I can't talk about

657
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: but I'm serious people that know you only from our podcast.

658
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: That is very funny for you to then like stop

659
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: recording and then go to Misha and be like, Misha,

660
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: we need to discuss Wait, so you so you both

661
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: are in relationships? Correct? Yes? Okay, so wow? You know, well, George,

662
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: who are you who? In your relationship? Is more improv

663
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: and more debate. Me. That's the thing. Here's what I'm realizing, honestly,

664
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: more and more is that I actually don't think this

665
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: is a good framework for discussing relationships. It really seemed

666
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 1: iron clad at the beginning. I don't know. I know

667
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: this is the smartest thing I've ever said. You know

668
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: this is because I do. I do think both me

669
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: and my boyfriend are more are varying levels of debate

670
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: rather than improv Well, we took a theory and we

671
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: tested it in the real world and of it to

672
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: be false. And that is science. I mean, you have

673
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: to take a hypothesis and then sometimes it's false, and

674
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: just because it's false doesn't mean it's not science. If anything,

675
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: more science even more, if you can prove me as false.

676
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: That's science. When you say something and it turns out

677
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: to be false, that's science. In speaking of science, I

678
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: think we should go right into our very scientific first segments.

679
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: Straight shooters, I think we should as well. And Julia,

680
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: as you know you've listened to the pout in the past,

681
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: this is the segment in which we gauge your relationship

682
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: with and complicity and straight culture by asking a series

683
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: of rapid fire questions. You have to pick A or

684
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: B and the one rule is that you can't ask

685
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: us ever any clarifications on how this works. Alright, right?

686
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: Should we start then? Kay? Um, Julia, I need even

687
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: bottles of beer on the wall or one gus, I

688
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: don't know what a geck is. Iconic gets Julia recycling

689
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: or composting? Um, recycling? Okay, Julia, all state, state farm

690
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: or police state. I'll state state farm being the same

691
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: being one of these, Juli, allowed, You're right, You're right,

692
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: I will say, I mean they're both equally violent, but

693
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: I will say all state state farm. Okay, Okay, cancel

694
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: culture or Western culture at large. This is uh, this

695
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: is hard because um, what I didn't reveal at the

696
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: beginning is that my dad is actually Jordan Peterson, and um,

697
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: well that really changes how adorable I find it that

698
00:42:54,080 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: he likes Um. Oh god, Um, I'll say it Western

699
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: culture at large, toxic. Um, Julia, they're taking the Hobbits

700
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: to Eisenard. Or what's the Elvish word for friend? What's

701
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: the Elvish word for friend? Okay? Okay, a really on

702
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: the nose New Yorker cover or a fashion photo shoot

703
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: that makes you go, okay, we get it. Um, definitely

704
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: really on the nose New Yorker cover. Great love that.

705
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: Um my dad is my best friend? Or my wife

706
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: is my best friend. Uh, my wife is my best friend? Okay.

707
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: Um having a right earring symbolizing homosexuality, or having a

708
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: left earring, which according to my grandmother means you are

709
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: a drug addict. Um, I'm left I'm left handed, so

710
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to say left earring. Okay, wow. And now

711
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: we'll have to rate you on a scale of one

712
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: to one thousand doves, Sam, what do you think? I

713
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: think us right? That's so low. Yeah, that's a good scale.

714
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: But it is a bad score. Okay. Yeah. In some

715
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: ways it's like golf, where the lower score is better,

716
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: but in other ways, it's not like that at all,

717
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: and you really want to get a better score. Golf

718
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: is the ultimate straight culture. Oh my god. I literally like,

719
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: you know how people it's almost like this weird thing

720
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: where like, yes, the obvious reaction of golf is that

721
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: it's bad, but then people are like, actually it can

722
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: be and it's like no, shut up, no, because it

723
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: combines a sport that is terrible with um improper land use,

724
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: which is straight culture. Yeah, and that's your biggest it's

725
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: my biggest, my biggest petieve well, because I'm like golf

726
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: courses seem nice, like I would love to go for

727
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: a stroll around the golf course, but like make it

728
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: a public park. It is just insane that you would

729
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: occupy a park and then be like you're arrested. Like

730
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: that's what golf is to me. Yeah, I can't stop

731
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: getting arrested on golf courses. And that is there should

732
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: there should just be like one golf course in the

733
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: world and that right, like and it's like okay, well

734
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: that's where the people golf on the golf course and

735
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: it can be a destination. It's like Disneyland and how

736
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: fun would that be? Um? So our topic today. Wait,

737
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: but I also in curious as because Julie you said

738
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: you kind of like we're thinking of various different topics.

739
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: I'd love to know what your short list was. Okay,

740
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: so my short list um as I said, Pete Buddha

741
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: Jedge at the top, um having having acne, Auntie Annie's

742
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: pretzels um, the concept, the concept of shame. Oh yeah,

743
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: and the two thou eight financial crisis. Huh w. I

744
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: mean I love that financial crisis. I think that's think

745
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: we're in the place right now where that's something we

746
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: can discuss. You know, you can also think of that

747
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: as like the two eight financial crisis parentheses Paul Krugman, Right, yeah, God,

748
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: I used to really think it's crazy that he's still

749
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: going to, isn't he? Though, I'm sorry to be this

750
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: person who is that. He's an economist that like writes

751
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: um for the New York he like writes opinion columns

752
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: for the New York Times, right, and he's and he's like,

753
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: he's wrong, He's wrong about a lot. He's wrong about

754
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: a lot. But also be like the syllabus before doing this,

755
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: damn po. I mean, you know how like there's a

756
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, some of this happened in thousand

757
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: and eight, and then some of us happen and you know,

758
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen. But there's like a general

759
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: reckoning of people that were right that it turns out

760
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: we're wrong. I feel like Paul Kergman is like the

761
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: the perfect example. And Paul Kergman, JK. Rowling and other example.

762
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: And Nate Silver. Yeah, Nate Silver version. They keep asking

763
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: him for his opinion on stuff though, God, he's a

764
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: Nates Silver. It's like, how obsessed are you with numbers?

765
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: Natesilver also is gay? Right? Yeah? I remember when I

766
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: found Game and I was like, go off. I didn't

767
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: know that you didn't. Wait, Julia, you're the last person

768
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: to people are gay. Did you think George was straight

769
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: when you him in the past? Um? No, m interesting,

770
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: drag him straight. There's no way around this. Juliet, you

771
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: were definitely wearing boat shooes the first time I met you.

772
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, I look, you know,

773
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: I've I've done a note to Appology about my my

774
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: history of wearing boat shoes. Um, which is again why

775
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm an expert on straight culture. And that's why you're

776
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: here in fact, we Sam and I did the investigative

777
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: work and released the photo of you wearing boat shootes

778
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: and then you know, listen, I understand it was different

779
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: back then. I mean, this is kind of like it

780
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: was a different time and cultural boat shoes didn't have

781
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: the um I didn't have the connotations they have today.

782
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, you should have

783
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: known better. Yeah, Ultimately, something that um, I've had to

784
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time praying about and um and

785
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: again it will not be reflecting on it, but I

786
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: will continue to post very defensive subtweets about it. Good.

787
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: I have something that I feel like it's important to

788
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: admit at this point in the park. To admit it,

789
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: I sort of took part in roughly thirteen fourteen the

790
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: wearing of sort of hipster ironic boat shoes. And I

791
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: know now that like hipster ironic boat shoes are still

792
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: boat shoes and it's never okay, But I did it,

793
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: and I've I've learned so much since then, and like

794
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't have them anymore, Sam, ironic boat shoes are

795
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: not like ironic biphobia. They're serious, But you know what

796
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: I do think that's also like, remember the era of

797
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean to me, this is Vampire Weekend. Like, no,

798
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: I love that era. Oh, I mean, listen, they're maybe

799
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: Julius's favorite. Okay, unfortunately, yes they are my favorite. I

800
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: still I'm yeah, I have seen them. I have seen

801
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: them live like four times. I think. I yes, that

802
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: is the most embarrassing thing about me is and when

803
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: I was, like when I was in college, I dressed

804
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: up to go to the concert. When I was nineteen

805
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: with my friend Susie, we went to shout out to Susie.

806
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to Susie. We went to the Merryweather Pavilion

807
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, Maryland, and um, yeah, we we dressed up

808
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: in our our preppious looks and um went to the

809
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: Vampire Weekend concert and this guess what, It's the only

810
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: place that I feel safe dancing as a person with

811
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: no rhythm. Well, and I know this is probably you're

812
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: probably heating up with shame right now, but I want

813
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: to console you by saying that liking anything is embarrassing. Yes,

814
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: that's true. When people like stuff at all, it's oh,

815
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's I forget about that too often, and

816
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: that's on me. Yeah. No, the most The healthiest way

817
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: to go about living your life is to just kind

818
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: of have an air of complete dismissal at anyone making

819
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: an effort. I think that's so healthy and important, especially

820
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: right now. Yea, when someone like attempts something, you have

821
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: to shame them into silence. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So now

822
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: that we've gotten that out of the way, should we

823
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: do our topic? Oh well, well, I thought the topic

824
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: that I settled on is the suburbs, because suburbs. I

825
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: love Arcade Fire. Yes, I know, I was going to say,

826
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: you can take that literally or you can take it

827
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: as the two studio album by Arcade Fire. Do you

828
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: remember like first seeing Arcade Fire and being like, well,

829
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: this is the future. Yes, the future is literally just

830
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of like various people. I mean it's literally like

831
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: seventeen people on the stage. One of them is like

832
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: hop scotch, you know. One of those are jumping rope,

833
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: one of them is like banging on a helmet. One

834
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: of them is just kind of like snapping their fingers.

835
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean, sprawl to mountains, beyond mountains, put it, put

836
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: it on the playlist. I'm in. But yes, I am

837
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: an expert on the actual suburbs. Says I. Yeah, well,

838
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: we've all at at various points in our lives lived

839
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: in the suburb. I mean when I was when my

840
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: family is still living in the United States, we lived

841
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: in suburban New Jersey. Truly, like our garage door, my

842
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: parents like we're foreign and they didn't know. Kind of

843
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: like this is. I don't want to drag them too much,

844
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: but you know, a suburban house has like a garage

845
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: door that's usually just like plain white, even though the

846
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: house can be like a fun color like a blue

847
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: or a pink or something of course, right, So we

848
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: moved into our house and my parents decided to painted

849
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: yellow and green, and normally you would leave the garage

850
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: door white, but instead the garage door was also painted

851
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: green with yellow squares like the squares are painted yellow.

852
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: And it was the only house in the entire street

853
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: that did not have a white garage door. Were you embarrassed?

854
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: Were you? Did you notice that it was different? Were you?

855
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it was that's the thing. It was, Um,

856
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: it really did stick out. What was your suburb experience

857
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: like now that I've shared that very vulnerable part of

858
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: my Julia at the same time, now o, um so, okay,

859
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: I grew up in a suburb of Boston, which again

860
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: is you know, maybe the straightest of of suburbs. I

861
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: mean it's true that, you know, it's weird that we've

862
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: had an episode about Denver but not Boston. Yeah, I

863
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: mean I could have I could have also done Boston.

864
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 1: I am you know, I'm toxic enough to represent the city,

865
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: I think, Um, but yeah, my my hometown is eleven

866
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: thousand people. It's like white and um it is the

867
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: foundation of um my my dark years in vote Choose,

868
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know I rode crew. Oh my god,

869
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: I WHOA. The sport of the town was lacrosse. Um,

870
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: really dark really I I've talked about this publicly before,

871
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: but I one of the like lacrosse was such a

872
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: traumatic thing because it really was one of those things

873
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: where I was like, as soon as I thought I

874
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: understood American culture, like I spent a lot of like

875
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: the first years living like because we moved here initially

876
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: when I was in first grade, and I spent a

877
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: lot of the first years like understanding what was going on.

878
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: And then I was like, thankfully, you know, young enough

879
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: where I didn't I learned English, didn't have an accent,

880
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But then like there will there

881
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: would be some like wild cards that would come my way,

882
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: and lacrosse was one of them where I was like

883
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: a new thing about lacrosse. Now, like I'm already, like,

884
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, twelve years old. I've literally learned everything, Like

885
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: I have a Spider Man poster in my room, and

886
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: I know who Derek Jeter is, and now you need

887
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: me to learn about lacrosse. Like it just seemed like

888
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: it seemed like I had done so much work and

889
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: it's like just further proof that I do not belong here. Sam,

890
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: did you play lacrosse? I did not. I lived in

891
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: like more rural um towns, um so I didn't like

892
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: we didn't have like the fancy sports like lacrosse where

893
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: in the towns where I lived. But I remember lacrosse

894
00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: is mostly it is at it's it's peak of popularity

895
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: in the Northeast, specifically New England. Totally. Yeah, it's not.

896
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what else I feel about things like that.

897
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: It's like I feel like I left that behind, you know,

898
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: when I obviously when we like left America, and then

899
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: in my mind, lacrosse as a concept stop in two

900
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: thousand five, and sometimes I remember that it exists, and

901
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's so crazy. It's so vintage that we're

902
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: still doing this, you know. I I wear like I

903
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: thought like maybe like two years ago, maybe three years ago,

904
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: I was like, it's hot to have like a dumb

905
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: lacrosse penny and wear that to the beach. And I

906
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: still think it is hot, but I also now think

907
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: it's a little like, wait, this like looks too sincere,

908
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: Like people just think I played lacrosse, Like I'm not

909
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: like edgy enough to sell the Well, it's it's because

910
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're so conventionally attractive that people look

911
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: at you when they say there's a there's a formal

912
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: lacrosse player, right, and and that's just not me, you know.

913
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: And that's and that's not that's like through no fall

914
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: of your own. That's just well, I get so judged

915
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: all the time by all these people. They say, oh,

916
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: you're so handsome and and and that that hurts because

917
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: it's on the inside, I'm so different, I'm so unique,

918
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: and I'm so Brooklyn and alternative. But on the outside,

919
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's the problem Megan Fox had. I'm literally

920
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: the Megan Fox of alternative, the Megan Fox of alternative comedy,

921
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: and that, honestly, I have to say sorry, but it

922
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: does not bode well for you. Ye damn well, that

923
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I mean I can feel it. I

924
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: can feel that bad space coming. I'm not going to

925
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: be I'm obviously not the first person to say this,

926
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: but yes, George is your Michael Bay Well, that's right.

927
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: That is in that I'm giving you this incredible opportunity,

928
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: and yet um, as soon as it's over, your career

929
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: is over. And also and also like obviously the verbal abuse,

930
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: the making you you know why car in a bikini, etcetera, etcetera.

931
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's okay. I needed the money. Um um My.

932
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: I had friends that lived in the northern suburbs of

933
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: Chicago that I like kind of lived with for like

934
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: a summer or two, and it was the most fun

935
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: I've ever had in my whole life. And I was like, damn, Like,

936
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: fancy suburbs really are it? Like everyone has a giant

937
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: house with a nice ass finished basement, their parents are

938
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found, and when they are around, they're

939
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: bringing home like fancy takeout. Um I had. I had

940
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: Hummus for the first time, it was like being abroad.

941
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say the idea of a basement

942
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: even now saying that I can feel my muscles relaxed.

943
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anything more comforting than being like

944
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm in the basement basically sitting in the bean bag

945
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: chair with one of those things like everything else, you know,

946
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: there's such a sense of stress about like, uh, you know,

947
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: things being clean and and things matching, and like the

948
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: and the decor and stuff, and then the basement anything goes.

949
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: Anything else you can have. You can have a pile

950
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: of cardboard boxes, you can have couches that don't match.

951
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: You can have just like a blanket that has, you know,

952
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: a disease on it. It doesn't matter. I you know,

953
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm I really don't want anyone to think that I'm

954
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: uh kind of ironically expressing my love for the suburbs.

955
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: I genuinely love everything about it. I it is, you know,

956
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: every time I go back, it's pure xan X. It's

957
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: just I just take me to the Whole Foods in Debtham, Massachusetts,

958
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: and I will pass out. I will have and I

959
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: have and I will do it again. You've been hospitalized

960
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: many times, how many times in the den body relax. Um,

961
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: the Denim Massachusetts Whole Foods. Um, your life is just

962
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: you begging to go to Whole Foods, getting there and

963
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: passing out and then waking up in a hospital and

964
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: being like, should we get a Whole Foods. I've done

965
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: it again. That's like a groundhogs day. God did I

966
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: pass out in the denim Whole Foods again? Um? Yeah,

967
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: I love Oh God, I love a gazebo. Just okay,

968
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: a gazebo. There's really nothing like inject a gazebo into

969
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: my veins. But I think what people don't talk about

970
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: is I think gazebos are violently queer. Oh yeah, they're

971
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: They're not for anything. I mean, that's that's kind of

972
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: like the part of my sexuality that I haven't explored yet.

973
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: And I again, I don't plan to. I don't plan

974
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: to reflect. But that's just going to be like a

975
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: locked door that I never really visit. No, yeah, you gazebo.

976
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: We all have our internal gazebo, which is a part

977
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: of us that you don't want to go. Just like

978
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: every suburb is straight, but then there's a gazebo and

979
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,959
Speaker 1: it's like is this suburb by Yeah right, we also

980
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't have a finished basement. Um, we did

981
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: have some really we still to this day my parents

982
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: house has like really weird, kind of scary murals on

983
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the walls of the basement that were there before they

984
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: bought the house. And um, there's one of It's like

985
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: it's all these cartoon characters. It's really it's like the

986
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Underdog and Winnie the Pooh and um Snoopy and Woodstock

987
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: from the Peanuts. It's but they are like horrifyingly big

988
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and my parents just never painted over it. I don't know,

989
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, our basement is not finished and it's very Um.

990
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I still get scared sometimes when I go home and

991
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: I have to go down in the basement and I'm

992
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: the only one in the was still awake. I do,

993
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: um run up the stairs really quickly to make sure

994
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: that basement is kind of the opposite of the whole foods, right,

995
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: so to make sure no one grabs my feet, you know.

996
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Seeing you right now, I'm like, wait, you would be incredible,

997
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: as like the heroine in a horror film like you

998
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: running away from like a killer would be great. Thank you. Yeah,

999
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Julia have you considered running away from a Killer. It's

1000
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: actually my most popular recurring dream. But yeah, wait, I

1001
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: want to just bring in something to the conversation, which

1002
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: is that, for me, you can't separate the suburbs from

1003
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: like media depictions of the suburbs like American beauty. Sure, sure, sure, sure,

1004
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: like the inherent Like do you remember when it was

1005
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: considered very radical and subversive to like point out the

1006
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: inherent eerieness of the suburbs, like these people seem happy,

1007
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: but they're not. Yeah, I mean, honestly, to bring it

1008
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: back to Arcade Fire, I liked that album, but when

1009
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: it came out, like hearing the premise is like, well

1010
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: it's about the suburbs, I was like cool, like hot take. Um,

1011
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,919
Speaker 1: But then I was like, okay, I love it. I yeah,

1012
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: I very earnestly loved it and thought it was a

1013
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: hot take. Yeah, I would honestly say that I have

1014
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: to agree. Yeah. So I think our Kaide Fire though,

1015
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: is one of those bands were like, um, kind of

1016
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: like al J where you listen to it and you're like,

1017
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm one of the few people that

1018
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: gets this, and then you go to their concert and

1019
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: it's like Okay, well you know hello Karen. Yeah, yeah, sorry,

1020
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I hate that I said Karen. I didn't mean it

1021
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: in like the meme sense. I just like was trying

1022
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: to think of a name. So I don't mean Fara

1023
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: our friend. I do mean far our friend. Okay, yeah,

1024
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Fara girl. Sorry you see you? What the next arcade

1025
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: fire show? Um? Yeah, I mean Georgie and I have

1026
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: talked about this, but I am so exhausted by the Karen.

1027
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: It's so hack. Everyone needs to stop. How do we

1028
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: feel about the Karen name? How do we feel about

1029
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: the Karen? And listen, I'm not gonna it is literally

1030
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 1: it came from as you said, Julia, it came from

1031
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: like a Dane Cook joke. I also feel like that

1032
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: it's hate speech, and I'm like, no, it's not hate speech.

1033
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: It's just at hack. It's Yeah. Also, you can call

1034
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: someone who's like violent, like call them like something worse. Yeah,

1035
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: the the woman who like tried to get the man

1036
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: in Central Park arrested and possibly killed is not a Karen.

1037
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: She is worse than that. And I can't think of

1038
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a better name. Yeah, what's the better name? I mean,

1039
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: we're like that couple that that couple that were like

1040
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: holding guns in their yard and people are like, well,

1041
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: this is the ultimate Karen, and it's like, no, this

1042
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: is a yeah, like like Karen is like can I

1043
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: talk to your manager? Karen is not like I'm going

1044
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: to kill approach like that is like something. Karen is

1045
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: literally can I talk to your manager? Yes, Karen is

1046
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: not like death to Antifa. Wait, it's such a Karen

1047
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: move to be um, you know fascist nic Trump is

1048
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: the ultimate Karen. Oh my god, you actually should twet

1049
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: that and see what happened as an experiment, No, because

1050
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: so many people would earnestly retweet that and be like

1051
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the ultimate take Oh my god, yes, sort of. I

1052
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: do think Internet humor is pretty bad. Internet humor is

1053
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: definitely dead. But then it's like, what's it being replaced by? TikTok? TikTok?

1054
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Is the Internet humor? I mean, I know, but you

1055
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Is the Twitter brand of Internet

1056
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: humor being replaced by just like TikTok? Well, you know,

1057
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: this is the issue is that the Internet is the

1058
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: only place we can go now, so there is no

1059
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: more in person humor. Really, well, now that's true, which

1060
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,919
Speaker 1: is why now there literally is no good humor. Yeah,

1061
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: exactly right, right, right right, Well except for this incredible

1062
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: and award winning podcast. Yes, that's right, Peabody Award winning

01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: Award And I mean, I don't know if you listen

1065
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: to this episode, Julia, but Sam and I have talked

1066
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: about how we won the Presidential Medal of Freedom for

1067
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Best New Artists in Podcasting. Yes, of course during the

1068
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: Obama administration. Yes, yes, and you know, but we were

1069
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: overshadowed because it was the same ceremony that he gave

1070
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: it to Ellen, right who no notes on Ellen? Perfect? No, No,

1071
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean incredible great, too great to work with, which

1072
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: we're going to really big help for us. Mentor Yeah, oh,

1073
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean a mentor. I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't

1074
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: even say family at this point, Yeah, I mean I

1075
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: call her mom. But then yeah, right, what is the

1076
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: peak suburban decor for you? Oh? Um? Well, okay, So

1077
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: a dining room that you only use like twice a year, yes,

1078
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: in the living room that you only sit in once

1079
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: a year. The thing is so true, like how it's

1080
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: like what is going on in your head where you're

1081
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: like Okay, we can only use this room that literally

1082
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: has tables in a chair when the Prime Minister comes over. Okay,

1083
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: would you say that obsession with like having things be

1084
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: like distinguishing between casual and formal. People are obsessed with

1085
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: the thing, which I mean, yeah, you say that, but

1086
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: I literally would cut my wrist right open and bleed

1087
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: out to in order to have a dining room in

1088
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: my life. Um. I think I love the premise of

1089
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: a dining room actually and having like a special room,

1090
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: but I think the problem is because they use it

1091
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: so rarely. The furniture is always really outdated and looks bad,

1092
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and it's like when you're going into people's dining rooms,

1093
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: they're like, we've never eaten here, and it's like, yeah,

1094
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: because the furniture is ugly. Yeah. I mean it does

1095
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: go back to one of the things that really Um,

1096
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: it's like a foundational opposition. I have to improper land

1097
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: use Um. Oh my god, that's so true. It's like

1098
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: it starts at home. Charity. Charity starts at home. In

1099
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: proper land, you starts at home. I mean, looking, having

1100
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: a dining room is a slippery slope to golf course. Yes,

1101
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: that's actually very true. Yea, thanks, Oh my god, well,

1102
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 1: you know we would you remiss. Um. I feel we've

1103
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: put golf on blast so much, and I just I

1104
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, I do hope to both sides this argument.

1105
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: You eventually get comment from JP McDade, who is the

1106
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the steward of of golf. Um, he's a straight, straight

1107
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: friend of the pod. JP McDade one of the tallest

1108
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: people I've ever made. Yeah. Yeah, he is truly up

1109
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: there as as far as height goes. He is one

1110
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: of the tallest. Um. He does have a toxic devotion

1111
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to golf in a way that um, well, here's the

1112
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: thing with JP mcdaide. He did used to work in finance.

1113
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: That's true. I mean there's yeah, we had the golf

1114
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: he had to know. Yeah, to stay alive, Um, to

1115
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: feel safe, I mean yeah. I mean they're the toxicity

1116
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: of J. P McDade knows no depths. I think he's

1117
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: banned from this podcast. We can all agree about that.

1118
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: He keeps asking you to do it. He says straight culture.

1119
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I know about that, and I say, JP, first of all,

1120
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: stop being so tall. You know, Tall Girl on Netflix

1121
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: is actually about JP mcdad ghost wrote it. He was

1122
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: like I want to write about how difficult it is

1123
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to be a tall man, but people like only like

1124
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: women's stories now because of the PC Left. So I'm

1125
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna make a tall girl. And I read the Tall

1126
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Man script and it was so really moving. Yeah yeah,

1127
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: and so I was actually really happy when that got me.

1128
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: But once again, you know, the woe Left just rot

1129
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: ruins another another creative genius all of Hollywood. You know

1130
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: what they do. They buy a script and then they

1131
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 1: change all the genders to face the gender flipped this

1132
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: there's a there. People are rabid with gender flipping. It's

1133
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: like it's like when when Cheryl Crowe covered Sweet Child

1134
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: of Mine and she gender flipped it and it was

1135
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:03,879
Speaker 1: wrong that Cheryl Crowe fall back. You are on blast.

1136
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: You are on blast. Cheryl crow is not welcome on

1137
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: this podcast. I know everyone already made fun of Tall

1138
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Girl the movie, but imagine how much funnier it would

1139
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: be if it were a movie called Tall Guy. That's funny.

1140
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. They took JP's idea

1141
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: and they ruined it tall Guy, tall man, and that's

1142
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: like strife. I love that. And this is when Jenji

1143
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Cohan met with JP and said, listen, I like what

1144
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 1: you're doing, but I'm gonna need this to be a girl.

1145
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: You had to say yes, he had otherwise should be

1146
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 1: canceled by the radical left. The radical left Jenji Cohan

1147
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: goes around canceling people for not for writing scripts about men,

1148
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: and I've had enough of it. You know, when we

1149
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:01,799
Speaker 1: made up lies and deceits around Charlie Barday, I thought, okay,

1150
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: this is fine. You know, he's my friend making up

1151
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: lies and you know, slandering JP mcdate on the pod.

1152
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know him that well and I cannot help

1153
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: but feel ours is going to get sued by JP lawyer. Yeah.

1154
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he looks like he would be ligitious,

1155
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: but he ultimately is not. He's just constantly um eating

1156
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: sodium and tweeting him. That's okay, cool. I mean I'm

1157
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: ready for him to sue me. So JP, have your

1158
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: lawyer call my JP please just sue us. Any press

1159
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: is good press at this. I've actually said I really

1160
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: want to get sued because I think the press would

1161
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: be amazing. I think the community would really rally behind me,

1162
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and I think it would be extremely helpful for my UM. Well,

1163
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. You know how people um

1164
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: try to kind of like you know, trip so they

1165
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: can sue a company for having like unsafe stairs or whatever. Yeah.

1166
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Um like yes, like I want the opposite of that

1167
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: when someone sues me for publicity. Yeah. The the Jackass

1168
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: films were just them trying to be able to sue

1169
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: public spaces. That was their whole goal, and they succeeded,

1170
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: and they succeeded. That's why, and that's why this episode

1171
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: we're going to put in all of the Arcade Fires

1172
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: music every time we mentioned them, hoping that they'll sue us, um,

1173
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: so that we can get some really incredible press, not

1174
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: just clips like the full full tracks, full song. We'll

1175
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: actually just have. The episode will be first us talking

1176
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,759
Speaker 1: and then when that's over, we will play the album

1177
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: from beginning to end and then release it and it

1178
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: will be like two hours long. I think that's ultimately

1179
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: what people want. Oh yeah, no, definitely, our fans have

1180
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: been begging for it. Um. Okay, Sam, is it like time? Yeah?

1181
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 1: Can I ask one more question? Yeah? Has this podcast

1182
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: been good? Yes? Yeah, Julia? What do you think? I

01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: love it? I I've gone on a spiritual journey. I

1184
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: think Um, you know, both of you are the first

1185
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: people I've spoken to in days. Um, so there was

1186
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: like a lot to unpack there. And then obviously, you know,

1187
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: talked about my father. So yeah, I did come in

1188
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: hot with that, you know what made me do that? So, Julia,

1189
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: we're really sorry we asked you about your father, especially

1190
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 1: first up, I didn't even warm up. That was really right, Okay,

1191
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: it's okay, Um, yeah, anything else we should apologize for? Um,

1192
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm you know, the first segment. What should we apologize for?

1193
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's so much that that you should apologize for. Um,

1194
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I also need an apology, George, when you assumed I

1195
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: played the cross that was so hurtful something I deal

1196
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: with every single day. You know, I've gone to meetings

1197
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: where they've been like, you play lacrosse, right, and I'd

1198
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: be like, no, Literally, what's weird is that there are

1199
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: people who have a condition known as lacrosse face and

1200
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: you don't even have that but you. But it's more

1201
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: of an aura that maybe in a in a previous

1202
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: life you did play lacrosse, because as we know, I mean,

1203
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,280

Speaker 1: a book by Ursula Kay Lugwin worrying for the most part,

1246
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: but by the end it was actually kind of good.

1247
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: And then at the very it didn't quite give me

1248
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: the rush I wanted, but I still was glad I

1249
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: read it in the end. And now I am done

1250

1255
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: forgot I think when we started this podcast, I genuinely

1256
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: was brain dead, um, and not in like a funny way,

1257
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: like I like, I really couldn't think of anything that

1258
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: had happened to me. And I was also in a

1259
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: bad mood, and I couldn't really explain why because it's

1260
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: not because of anything. Yeah, I'm also in a bad

1261
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm actually in a very bad mood today. And I

1262
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: also have had like insane dry mouth like I will

1263
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: literally I'm like truly pouring water down my gullet and

1264
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: then as soon as it leaves the immediate palette, I

1265
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: get dry again. I keep thinking I have COVID again.

1266
01:18:55,439 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing that I'm at I got tested again yesterday

1267
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: because I was like, I feel it, and then I'm like,

1268
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: now I feel fine. I feel stupid for getting tested.

1269
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: But what I'm getting a COVID test on Monday. I

1281
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: give love and praise and respect to going outside, which

1282
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: is something that you forget about that you just don't

1283
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: do and people talk about. You're not talking about it,

1284
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: You're not hearing the mainstream media say anything. And then

1285
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: you go outside again and you and that's the end

1286
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: of that. Um. Also, I want to give a quick

1287
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: shout out to Julia's friend, Uh, Susie, you don't know you,

1289
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: and we can absolutely feel that. And I want to

1290
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out to Julia having three different

1291
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: shout outs inside her shadow. That's a very Julia thing

1292
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 1: to do. I want to give a shout out to

1293
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Stradio Lab for having more shout outs than we've ever

1294
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: had before. There's a shout out heavy episode and that

1295
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: is powerful and beautiful. Wow. And I want to give

1296
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: a shout out to Sam for really kicking us off

1297
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: with a really great shout out that made us feel

1298
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: safe enough to then each do another three shout outs.

1299
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: I want to give a quick shout out to George

1300

Speaker 1: for still doing this segment despite the fact that as

1303
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: as fans might not know. Every single time we record

1304
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: and then text Sam can we please stop doing shadows

1305
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: because I don't like them? And then he says, no,

1306
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 1: I think they're fun, and I agree with that they

1307
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: are fun. If you don't think they're fun, debate me, bitch. Wow.

1308
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: I guess we know who's debated who's prob in our relationship.
