1
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, podcast announcement starts now, that's right, tour announcement.

2
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Tour announcement. Now, wow, you had to scramble to get

3
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: on a zoom call in the middle of the day

4
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, because boy, do we have an announcement

5
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: for you.

6
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: We as a podcast are going on tour in which

7
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: in the tour that George wants to call global whereas

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: I would like to call mostly North American.

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: I will say we are already being dragged right through

10
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: the coals by everyone who lives in Toronto. They are

11
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: begging for us to come.

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not.

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: You know, Toronto might be like our number one city

14
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: and I am now I'm now really I'm very bullish

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: on getting them on the next tour, I'll say that,

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: but sadly, for now they are not unless there's cities

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: we are visiting.

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is too bad because actually I think there's like,

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: there's this guy on Instagram that I'm obsessed with, Oh.

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: In Toronto. Well then let's go. Oh you didn't tell

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: me there was a guy on Instagram you were obsessed

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: with in Toronto.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I actually think we'd be friends.

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So well, well we'll get to meet him

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: when we go to the Toronto International Film Festival when

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: we finally premiere Straighter Lab the film.

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: But despite the skipping Toronto, we are going to ten places.

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: That's right, we are going to ten places. We are

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: going to Montreal first, which is a bit which has

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: not been fully confirmed yet, which is why I don't

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: have a link yet. But we will be there most

32
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: likely July twenty seventh, and then every last festival just

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: for last festival and then everything else is good to go.

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: How many so we are only Boston, Philly, DC, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, Portland,

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Which I'm I think going on tour is funny for

37
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: us because so many cities we've just like shit talked,

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: like the way that we've should talked to Boston so

39
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: much in our podcast. Okay, but then go there with

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: our tail between our legs and say now, like us please.

41

Speaker 1: People are gonna be.

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: All yeah, but I have Boston is a part of

43
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: my origin story that has I think in fact, Boston

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: is a very important city for our podcast, and like

45
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: I think, you know, it's sort of like you roast

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: the ones you love. M That's how I feel about Boston.

47
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: I had some of the best years of my life

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: in Boston, despite how I feel about their cuisine.

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, if you live in any of these cities,

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: please share. We are but lowly, lowly podcasters with a

51
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: dream of doing our art for you. Please share, Please come.

52
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: It is overdue that we are doing this. I am excited.

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I'm really excited. That's why we're

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: That's why we're having a difficult time coming up with

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: words to describe it, because we're like, wait, didn't we

56
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: all ready go on tour spiritually? We did?

57
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Spiritually did We've always been in Boston, We've always been

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: in DC, We've always been in Philly in our souls.

59
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: And by the way, I've never been to quite a

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: few of these places. I've never been to Minneapolis, Chicago,

61
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: or Seattle.

62
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I have been to I've never

63
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: been to Seattle or Portland.

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Well, Portland is a huge slagh. And you know, I'll

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: tell you one thing Portland. Actually, I have quite a

66
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: quite a robust group of friends and acquaintances who are

67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: going to show up, so that one I'm not worried about.

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Do you know what I am worried about Seattle. If

69
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: you live in Seattle, if you are one of the

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: three Straighter Leve listeners who lives in Seattle, you need

71
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: to text every single group chat you are on. You

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: need to check text your chosen family and your biological family, and.

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Your work family, work family.

74
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: You need to get underage nephews and nieces in there.

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: We are happy to keep the gurated, but we need

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: to sell tickets. I would say the two if I'm

77
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: being candid right now, looking at I'm looking at these cities. Okay, Boston.

78
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: I think I don't want to be really confident, but

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying Boston. You know, of course they claim me

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: as one of their own. That's where it came up.

81
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: That's where I cut my teeth. I think Boston is

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: going to be straight your lab city. I'm not worried Philly.

83
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 2: I am so confident about I've had such good shows

84
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: every time I've done Philly. The last out of town

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: show I did before the pandemic was Philly at the

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: Rip at the Good Good Theater. It was It's so good.

87
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: Love doing Philly at.

88
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: Least my second home, despite having only been there four times.

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: I always feel like I live there. When I go there.

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: Yes, d C, I'm I'm feeling confident about DC.

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: My sister lives there. Needless to say, it'll be packed.

92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, DC a city full of gay guys.

93
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Gay guys love it there. He is, like they're judging.

94
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: From our live shows, I would say our audience actually

95
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: is fewer gay guys than you would think. Yeah, like

96
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: our audiences sort of oftentimes sophisticated, uh women in queers

97
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: that appreciate the archetype of the gay guy, but are

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: not gay guys themselves.

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well they appreciate the you know, the way

100
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: that we're examining the gay guy and the experience exactly.

101
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: And so that's a very generous read and it's correct.

102
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Now Minneapolis, here's here's another city where I pause, not because,

103
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: by the way, not because I don't want. I am

104
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: so excited to go there. Genuinely. I I have sort

105
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: of always romanticized the Midwest because I've literally only been once.

106
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: The one time I went to ann Arbor, Michigan, and

107
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: I loved it. But Minneapolis, I'm excited to go. I've

108
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: heard really good things. I've heard it actually as a

109
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: really thriving sort of LGBTQ scene.

110
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: Also Minneapolis. I have my aunt and uncle there. Yeah,

111
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: it's like both those cousins have like romantic partners. It

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: could actually be packed out. Yeah, okay, well, so we'll

113
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: tell seven people like I did not.

114
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Get greedy to me, not get greedy. We don't want

115
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: it to be all your family.

116
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: And we Yeah. I actually even thought of an opening

117
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: riff already for the men. Yeah, it's I actually think

118
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: I should do it now because I can't do it

119
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: at the show because it's I've thought about it for

120
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: too long. Imagine this. Okay, go we opened. We we

121
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: walk onto the stage of Minneapolis, and I say, you know,

122
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: it's funny. The last time I was here was from

123
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: my as funeral, and which is true. But it just

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: breaks my heart that my grandma never got to see

125
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: me do gay live podcasting in her very city.

126
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: Now that's good. Now, that's good, and it would have

127
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: eaten But I guess what you're saying that. But also

128
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna say it again at the show if

129
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna be honest with ourselves, and I think people

130
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: will still laugh. Okay, but but I my my only

131
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: thing is I Minneapolis to me after Seattle is the

132
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: one I'm second most worried about. So this is my

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: call to action. Minneapolis listeners, please tell in Minneapolis area

134
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: Paul Twin Cities the Twin Cities if you're any By

135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: the way, twin cities sort of such a queer concept.

136
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: M hmm, when cities?

137
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is this?

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weiss.

139
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Damn, you are really up on your films.

140
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: I gotta say. I gotta say I started out when

141
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: we got on this zoo. I was like, I cannot

142
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: shrink together a sentence. You know, it's inspiring me looking

143
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: at this list of cities and imagining ourselves in each one.

144
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: It. Yeah, this is this is a fantasy tour.

145
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: It's a fantasy tour. So so to sum up Minneapolis,

146
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about it. A little bit worried, yeah

147
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: about ticket sales, so so you gotta really everyone has

148
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: to really rally.

149
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Moving on to Chicago thoughts. Needless to say, this will

150
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: sell out this Chicago.

151
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: To me, I'm like, this will even though I've never been,

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: it will feel like a homecoming.

153
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: It'll feel like it'll feel like New York. It's gonna

154
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for Chicago because, as anyone, Chicago is

155
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: my Boston. That's where I you know, i'd say cut

156
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: my teeth in a gay since that's where I started

157
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: being gay and going to gay bars and being gay.

158
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: And so I'm so excited to go back and sort

159
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: of remember what it was like to be twenty one

160
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: and insane.

161
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: And I'm really excited. I really have always felt like

162
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: I would uh do really well in Chicago, by the way,

163
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: setting up my big factory wedding, huge Greek population.

164
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

165
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna also just like such a classic

166
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: American city, you know what I mean.

167
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, whenever I'm in Chicago, I'm like I'm in an

168
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: eighties movie and thinking about it.

169
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: I I really could not be more excited for Seattle.

170
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna do it all. I'm gonna take

171
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: in all the sites and sounds. I'm gonna go to

172
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: the Bean. I'm gonna have some Seattle Oh my god, sorry, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago.

173
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take in the sights and sounds. I'm gonna

174
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: go to the Bean and I'm gonna have deep dish

175
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 2: pizza and uh. I also am like, I mean, my

176
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: expectations if anything are too high. I'm like, people are

177
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: gonna take us under their wing and take us to

178
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: like three different gay bars after the show. God, you

179
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

180
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. It's gonna be so fun.

181
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: So that's Chicago. Now Seattle again, a city I have

182
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: so much respect for. Genuinely, I am scared about ticket sales.

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Seattle to me is like a guy reading a book

184
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: on the train the city. That's what Seattle is to me.

185
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: Seattle, you know, it's unfair to the city of Seattlee's

186
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: it's so defined by the companies that are based there.

187
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: That's true. Nike, Amazon, right.

188
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Starbucks, Starbucks.

189
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Nike. I think. No

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: is Nike Portland.

191
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I have no I don't know.

192
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: I understand that this doesn't matter. No, Nike's Oregon, so

193
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: please please forgive me Nike's Oregon. But the point is Seattle.

194
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's tough. It's it's also associated with the

195
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: counterculture because of Nirvana and grunge and all that stuff.

196
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: So that tension between the corporate overlords of the city

197
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: and the diy past I think is really fascinating to me.

198
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's very Northwest. That's also very very north San Francisco.

199
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Hary, San Francisco. I do think potentially I'll go on

200
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: a hike when I'm in Seattle. Why not, Oh my god,

201
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: I'll go on and guess what coffee time to call it?

202
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Seattle's going to be a sleigh, Portland's gonna be

203
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: and then Portland.

204
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: I mean Portland. By the way, I feel like we're

205
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: not being excited about enough. I am very excited about Seattle,

206
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: but I am just I'm like, you know, we see

207
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: comments on our Instagram and whatever, and it's always like, oh,

208
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: come to this city, come to this city. I'm like,

209
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: I'm worried, not enough, you know, like where where are

210
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: the Seattle glamour girls? But I have a feeling that

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: they're going to turn out.

212
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: I think so as well.

213
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: But to your point about Portland Portland, I'm all in.

214
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I can't wait.

215
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: One of my best friends, Helen, lives there. She people

216
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: might remember her from when I posted her the couch

217
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: from the Harry Styles cover that she made. Oh aurniture designer.

218
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: She told me she already has six people lined up

219
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: to go to that show.

220
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: Wow.

221
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is pre sale code is LAB twenty

222
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: twenty three, and use it soon because that one is

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: gonna sell out.

224
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And my friend Richard lives there.

225
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

226
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: And so that's that's eight seeds.

227
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: That's eight seats.

228
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

229
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: And Portland I have always I would say, you know,

230
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: we're not going to Austin on this store, but I

231
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: would say the two cities I've had the most, three

232
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: cities I've had the best time doing stand up Austin, Philly, Portland. Wow,

233
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: that's my just my very limited experience. You know, I'm

234
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: not I'm not, you know, Dane Cook. I don't tour

235
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: very regularly, but those are the three cities I've had

236
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: the best times.

237
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: Well, I can't wait, I'm like what And then San Francisco.

238
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: San Francisco, now that I'm excited about.

239
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: That's also a homecoming for you.

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: That that is a true homecoming for me.

241
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: Every American city is a homecoming for George. Well, the

242
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: two that.

243
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: Are real homecomings are San Francisco and Boston. Because there's

244
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: other other than New York. Those are the two places

245
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: I've lived as an adult. That mon Sisco, I mean,

246
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: I live in the Bay Area for full six years.

247
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: I am like, maybe gonna stay there for you extra

248
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: days and really catch up with friends. And also Cops

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: Comedy Club, which we're doing in San Francisco. I remember

250
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: when I lived there before I started comedy. I was like, wow,

251
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: that's where comedians go and perform. So you know, if

252
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: I start tearing up, that's why I can't wait. And

253
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: you like San Francisco. You liked it last time you went.

254
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: I did like it. I like it is a properly

255
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: like horny city, which I do appreciate. Its sorry to

256
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: be one note all the time. Wow, but it's like

257
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: they really it's a very like sex forward place in

258
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: a way that I find kind of refreshing interesting. You

259
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: just agree, I.

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Mean, I get it. But it's also everyone does still

261
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: work in you know, everyone still does work in Amazon.

262
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: No, they do. And I mean that's the part I dislike,

263
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: obviously not no hot takes here, is that it's like

264
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: the tech corporate world. But when you get past that

265
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: the gay world, there's fun.

266
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: Also, it's been completely I mean, I don't even know

267
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: what San Francisco is like right now I have. It's

268
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: been completely traned formed during like the pandemic and people

269
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: moving to wherever the hell tech people are moving. So

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: maybe now San Francisco is all vombit artists.

271
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: It's back. San Francisco's back.

272
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: San Francisco's back, and so are we, and so are we,

273
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: and then of course Los Angeles. I mean, what is there.

274
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: To say, Well, Hollywood, Hollywood, that's sort of our bread,

275
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: but in no way that's a homecoming because we both

276
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: belong on.

277
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume that is already sold that. I'm not

278
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: going to check. I assume that's already sold that. And

279
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: if you didn't get tickets, I'm so sorry, We're never

280
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: coming again.

281
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not putting you on the list. Sorry, sweetie. No,

Speaker 2: I'm we're really not Please spread this, bring your friends.

287
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: We are you know, this is the first time we're

288
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: doing this, so we genuinely have no idea what it'll

289
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: be like. I am short of ca it's just optimistic.

290
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, first of all, I'm so excited, just

291
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: to travel around and to meet listeners that you know,

292
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: have not been able to come to our New York shows.

293
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: But I genuinely have no idea what to expect. I'm like,

294
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: what if in certain places it's like someone just google

295
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: Comedy Night and found this and has no idea what

296
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: the podcast is and is like confused and offended.

297
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Well that I would love, Actually, that would be kind

298
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: of funny, to be.

299
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: Clear, that's the dream. What if people come with their kids,

300
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: what if people riot m what if I mean, you know,

301
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: you just you simply never know.

302
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: What if we fall in love with the Seattle vibe

303
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: and both give up all of our dreams and decide

304
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: to open a little coffee shop there.

305
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta say, I think that both of

306
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: us are gonna sort of find in Seattle, maybe find

307
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: like one coffee shop or brunch place, and be obsessed

308
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: with it and then be like, oh, I can't wait

309
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: to go back to Charlie's.

310
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,480

00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: Mark my words, mark my marin my marrying. I'm trying

344
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: to think, like, I don't know what else.

345
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, well, we should mention, and this will

346
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: mention this sort of in the show notes too, But

347
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: we still don't fully understand how links and codes work.

348
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: But from what we understand, it is currently artist pre sale.

349
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: Everything is on artist pre sale, which means that from

350
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: now until Friday, if you use our code, which is

351
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: LAB twenty twenty three I think all caps LAB twenty

352
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: twenty three. If you use that code, you will be

353
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: able to get advanced tickets.

354
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then starting.

355
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: Friday it'll be available to everyone. But I would highly

356
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: recommend if you can to get it before Friday, because

357
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: they are because it's pre sale.

358
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: Because it's pre sale. I think that's informationally basically everything.

359
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's basically everything. Also, sorry that Montreal and Seattle

360
