Speaker 1: These aren't Bananza's We actually uh get too into it.

00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: We like answering all these questions and so we have

00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: a part too, And so I don't know how sure

12
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,040

Speaker 1: guys have no idea, but like, we just recorded the

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: part where we like sentimentally say goodbye to everyone for

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the summer. So it feels very strange to now be like, okay, guys,

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: what you're about to hear is part two. Yeah, it's

00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: so I guess we'll just say two starts now, Part

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: This is from Sophia in fact Sophie. First of all,

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: Happy almost birthday to Sam. Thank you, queen. I feel

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: very special now that I know I share the same

27
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: birthday with one of my favorite comedians to celebrate being

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: a chaotic cancer queen on June thirty alongside with you.

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: For the record, I'm also a cancer. My straight shooter

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: question is Boxers The Dog or Briefs the Legal Document?

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I will say, you know, I think your classic Boxers

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: the Dog and I'm classic Briefs the Legal Document absolutely,

33
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: And so if he's real question is oh, wow, are

34
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: you nervous about performing live for the first time since

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: you started working together. You have such amazing chemistry on

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: the pod, but I wonder if you will enjoy more

37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: physically synchronized performance even better or will it feel strange? Wow,

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: physically synchronized? I think this is funny. Um, and then

39
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: there's a PS that is very very kind. But I

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: will be embarrassed if I read such kind words out loud.

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: But I but know that I see you and I

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: hear you, and I am simply obsessed. I think this

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: is an interesting question because by the time this is out,

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: we will have done our live show together. But I think,

45
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I guess, like what this question makes me feel is like,

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: how how are you feeling about the upcoming live show? Yes? Yeah, um,

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say this. It is insane to have

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: to begin a new like a new full time job

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: the week leading up to something this big. Like I

50
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: I do think luckily we met last you know, we've

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a while. We met last

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: weekend and we came up with the structure of the

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: show and things like that. But there are many more

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: things that need to be done, and they will be done.

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: But like, it is very unlucky that this week I

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: don't have the amount of time it takes to truly

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: with a kind of clean slate, figure out what this

58
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: is gonna look like. We have kind of created more

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: work for ourselves, I think than many other people would.

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: But I don't regret that. I think that's a good thing.

61
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: It's just it means that it is. It's just there's

62
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to be done, and I feel

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: a little behind, but not behind enough. To feel stressed. Yeah,

64
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: to be fair, I'm scared as well. I'm also dealing

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: with like much more work than I thought I would

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: have at this moment, and so I'm like, oh no, oh, no,

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: oh no, And every day I'm trying, I'm half I'm

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: panicking the back of my head. But I also know

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: that we've done this enough that I'm excited because like,

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: once we're up on that stage with those mics in

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: our hands and those lights on our faces, We're just

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna pop off. And I think it's going to be

73
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: extremely fun. And I also think, like I've been enjoying

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: I've only performed like a few times since Stand Up

75
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Is Back, and I've been enjoying like sort of being

76
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: out of the groove, like not like having a different

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: cadence than I used to slightly and like not being

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: so like scripted. And I think for us, I think

79
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: it will be fun too, like experience like this chemistry

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: and cadence that we've been like honing vaguely on this podcast,

81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: like in a live setting. And I think it's gonna

82
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: be interesting. I think it'll be I to be honest,

83
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be so fun. And I think

84
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: like as much as live performances its own based. We

85
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: have been talking with no feedback whatsoever now for a

86
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: year and a half, and like it will undoubtedly be

87
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: easy to have people that laugh at as we say,

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: or not even laugh or just like gasp yeah, sort

89
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: of gaffall and maybe shout, but uh no, it'll be

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: We're you can't bomb any more than you bomb to

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: performing for no one. So honey, let there be silence.

92
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I live for it all, right, Next question, I let's

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: do UM. This is you. This is from Angelica and

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Angelica we promise we have read every single word of

95
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: this email, but just for a time we are going

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to do UM. Just the question. Okay, So I'm oh, yes,

97
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: and this was one of yours. Um, yeah, I like

98
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: this one. Uh. Just wondering what your experienced with day

99
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: jobs are and how bad they made you feel, Curious

100
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: as to how other people have pursued creativity, and wondering

101
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: if leaving a day job feels like a leap into

102
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: faith as it were, as it were every time, or

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: if doing it gradually makes things easier. This may feel

104
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: like I'm so listening advice, but I the only want

105
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: to hear about you oh, I got perfect, and in fact,

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: now I'm remembering, I also start this one, so offense,

107
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: no offense to it. I just forgot um um, do

108
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: you want to go first? Yeah, I can. My experience

109
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: with the jobs is very straightforward, so I can. Basically,

110
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I was lucky, I think when I started comedy, I

111
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: had essentially I mean, it was almost like out of

112
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: a dream. How lucky I was in my financial situation

113
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: because basically I was in a fully funded graduate program

114
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: that gave me a monthly stipend that was enough for

115
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: me to live. I did not get money from anywhere

116
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: else or from family or anything, and so I truly

117
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: I could make my own schedule except for classes, which

118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: when you're a grad student or not that many, it's

119
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: not like when you're an undergrad. So I basically, you know,

120
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I had some paper straight and I had some projects

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: to do, but I could truly do them whenever I wanted,

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: and I basically was able to have every night free,

123
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: stay out as late as I wanted. I mean, because

124
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't even if I had morning class maybe will

125
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: be like once a week or something. And it just

126
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: Academia fully funded my first two full years of my

127
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: comedy career. UM. And in fact, because I was in Boston,

128
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: it was and I think Boston was like such a

129
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: perfect place to start stand up because it was the

130
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: perfect size scene where I feel like there were so

131
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: many cool people that had come from there, like Josh Gondleman,

132
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: like you know, Julia Rossie, like people I really respect. UM.

133
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: But also it was small enough that I felt like

134
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: I was able to make friends really easily, and it

135
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: was just it was a very nice community. And then

136
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: when I moved to New York again, I was lucky

137
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: enough that I got the job, um, a full time

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: job again in academia that I got because of grad school.

139
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: And then I had that job for three full years

140
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and it was a full time job with benefits. It

141
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: was not like I mean, I hope no one's listening.

142
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: I was about to say, it was not super high paying,

143
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: but it was. It was very like obviously like it's

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: academia like that. It's not like it's not like I'm

145
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: working in Wall Street. But it was like absolutely enough,

146
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: absolutely enough for me to like live in a studio

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: and like have a very have a comfortable, normal Brooklyn existence. Um.

148
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: And what was great about that job was that even

149
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: though it was a full time job and I did

150
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: have to be there every day, I a enjoyed doing

151
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: it and like my coworkers and be like could truly

152
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: clock out every day at like five thirty pm, so

153
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: it was very easy to do stand up at night.

154
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Then I quit that job in December, or I mean

155
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: some sources say the contract in fact ran out. And

156
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: then I love fact checking yourself, and then um, and

157
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: then it was I was collecting. I planned for two months.

158
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: Then I got a short TV writing job. Then I

159
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: was unemployed for another month, and then I got this

160
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: cockler job. So that's that's my that's my day job journey.

161
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: So I've always essentially had a full time day job,

162
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: which I will say, on the one hand, was was

163
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: just nice to have like a monthly income. On the

164
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: other hand, like it absolutely delayed certain things like it

165
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: that I in fact, I remember one time I didn't

166
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: get something because the person like flagged for that company

167
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: that I had a day job, so I couldn't so

168
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: like they didn't like offer me something, even though if

169
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: they had, I I think I could have you figured

170
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: out in a sick day or something. You know, It's

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: like one day thing, um. And then also just like yeah,

172
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: I I can't. I couldn't do things during the day,

173
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Like I missed out on a lot of opportunities because

174
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah. Um, yeah, We've had different journeys. I

175
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: because mine, I prioritized like flexibility more than stability, um.

176
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: And so like when I first moved here, I've just

177
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: had like a million stupid jobs, like and I've had

178
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: various varying levels of luck. Like when I first moved here,

179
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: I literally like worked at a j crew like for

180
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: six months and then like blessing, like some older guy

181
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: that like went to my college and I just emailed

182
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: to be like, Hi, I'm in New York, like we

183
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: had never met before, and he was like, actually, I

184
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: have this job and I'm leaving, like do you want it?

185
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: And it was like this job that took place from

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: uh four am to eight am, and I would just

187
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: like right, it was for Coca Cola, and I would

188
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: like Google like was justally a human Google Alert and

189
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: would like write like a stupid like bibliography for them

190
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: every morning for like their PR team about how soda

191
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: was killing everyone and uh, that paid really well. And

192
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: that was my best era. And that was like some

193
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: formative times because I could like truly be out all

194
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: night do stuff during the day, like I would just

195
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: sleep sort of twice uh twice a day um. And

196
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: so that and then like from there, like when I

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: lost that job that I really panicked because that like

198
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: really gave me a lot of freedom that you do

199
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: unfortunately need to do this stuff. And so then I

200
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: became a dog walker, which uh was flexible but didn't

201
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: pay well. And then I got a job doing like

202
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: social media for this stupid hotel chain, which actually was tight,

203
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: and that was I did not know about all your

204
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: different eras. I've had a lot of eras. The social

205
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: media job was tight because that paid well and they

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: were flexible and you could literally do it from your phone,

207
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: so I'd be like running into something and like posting, uh.

208
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: And then I was I lost that job, and I

209
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: thought I had gotten this one thing, like and this

210
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: was like and I and I got the thing and

211
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: I was losing the job at the same time, and

212
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: I was like, don't you see it's a sign like

213
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: you're about to pop off and make it. And then

214
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, that was so untrue. And that

215
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: started like my true dark era. Of like being on

216
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: the cusp of so many comedy jobs but not getting them,

217
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: and also feeling like I couldn't get a real job

218
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: because it would get in the way. And so then

219
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: I I started working at the fourteen Street Why doing

220
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: like this kids after school program, which didn't pay well

221
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: but was actually nice and a lot of comedians worked there,

222
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: so it was kind of a fun time and they

223
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: would let you take off whenever you want. And then

224
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: I was a mover and that's right, that sucked, but

225
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: it was also you truly work like four days at

226
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the end of the month and make rent, but like

227
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: at what cost. Well you also not to say that

228
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: you don't look good now, because you always look good,

229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: but during that era, you truly were out of the

230
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: out of a men at play video, I got very strong. Um.

231
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's a lot of stairs and lifting, and

232
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: it was intense. I mean that was actually the name

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: of the company, Intense Movers. And I can recommend them

234
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: because they've helped me move my last time. Wait, I

235
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: want to say one more thing about flexibility. Well, I

236
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: want to say two things. One insane thing that happened

237
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: to me in terms of day jobs is when I

238
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: got when I wrote on um our friend Matt and

239
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Dave's show. That was like a it was like maybe

240
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: two three months in l A and my day job

241
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: literally let me take a leave of absence in order

242
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: to do that job and then come back. So it

243
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: is that was incredibly um. But then the other thing

244
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to say was you were talking about flexibility,

245
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: and and I think it's a crazy thing to say,

246
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Like I actually had like professionally a pretty good pandemic.

247
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: But in fact, the reason I did is because for

248
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the first time in my life, I had flexibility. Because

249
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: even though I still for some of it did have

250
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: that day job, I now was actually able to make

251
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: my own. It was essentially I could see that job

252
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: as like one of many freelance contracts that I had

253
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: to fulfill, if that makes sense. So like, and I

254
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: just was shocked at how much I got done, all

255
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: this stuff that I truly like had been dragging my

256
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: feet on for years. Like I finished the script that

257
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: I had been writing for three years, like in the

258
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: first few months, and then like wrote another one. And

259
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: there was at one point where I was like writing

260
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: on like you know, I had two other writing gigs

261
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: on top of my full time job, and it still

262
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: wasn't that chaotic because I just like I didn't have

263
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: to go into an office every day, and I think

264
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: that was one of the reasons where I was like, oh,

265
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: this is why all these people were lapping me all

266
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: these years, Like I literally couldn't do this, like I

267
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: it truly sucks up all your time. So yeah, yeah, um,

268
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: and I do want to say that also, like people

269
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: fantasize about like that moment. I I fantasized about the

270
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: moment being like I don't have a day job anymore,

271
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: and like I think, while that is good, like you,

272
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: that is the ultimate goal, you don't need to like

273
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: rush it like I am, you know, sorry to I'm

274
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: like a little grateful for the times that I had

275
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: all these weird day jobs because I feel like I've

276
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: met a lot of different people from different realms and

277
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: like it's been interesting and like, I don't know, you

278
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: get like it just it also takes you up your

279
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: head a little bit. You're like adapt constantly, and like

280
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: when you're just doing entertainment, you're like a psychopath because

281
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you're focused on this one thing that you have actually

282
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: very little control over and well not just that. But

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: then you're like not to say that you're born, you're

284
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: fully boring in a way that I mean, it's it

285
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: is like humiliating how bad you are. I mean, and

286
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to drag l A comedians, but like often

287
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: you go to l A and you watch stand up

288
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: and it is like it's literally people using industry terms

289
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: and being like, so, so we had to do a

290
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: rewrite for this premise and then this happened. It's like,

291
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: who the funk wants to hear that? Like it is

292
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: so I remember I went to last time I was

293
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: in l A. I saw like a successful comedian that's

294
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: maybe let's say, like ten years older than us. Um

295
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: had an entire joke about how he did like rewrites

296
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: on a famous movie. I won't say what, but it

297
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: was like not a common movie. It was like and

298
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: that was the premise, and then it was just like

299
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: about how he worked with this famous actor and that

300
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: famous actor was weird m h. And so I don't know,

301
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: and also frankly like and I don't. I was about

302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, we both work to pay

303
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: our rents and not everyone we know does that, and

304
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't in any way like I grew up pretty privileged,

305
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: and I do not want to claim that like, oh

306
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: I no one knows the struggle I've been through or

307
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: anything like that. However, like the fact that you know,

308
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: no matter I at least have to be financially independent

309
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: and pay my own bill. It's like, does add some

310
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: perspective compared to people we know that don't have to

311
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: do that, Like it's just it's simply you have, like

312
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: you don't fully understand like most of life if you

313
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: don't have to, if you're not thinking about money, like

314
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: that's like what most people are thinking about all the time.

315
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: It's true. Yeah, I so so keep doing that day job.

316
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: It's not that bad. I mean, it's not that bad.

317
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: And also I'm sorry to be one of those people

318
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: who's like, you know, I don't know Tony Morrison didn't

319
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: write her first book and tells you was afford. It's like,

320
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not near the resident Tony Morrison. But I will

321
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: say that many famous writers had day jobs and like

322
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: they made it work. Yeah, And I remember learning about

323
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: like people like when I was younger, like people that

324
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: I looked up to that would like, you know, they

325
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: had a writing job. But then they were like panicking,

326
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this kind of you got

327
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to settle into the panic and the scrappiness because it's

328
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of always going to be around. So I'll say this.

329
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: The next one is also about the live show, so

330
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: I think we should Okay, okay, this is from UM.

331
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: They signed it Dawson UM. What should I do if

332
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't get someone's comedy and really want to struggle

333
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: with the in your face intensity or I d K

334
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: how to describe any of this dead pan anti comedy comedians,

335
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: comedian of some Brooklyn Ault comics. How do I get

336
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: past these blocks to appreciate some of the best talent?

337
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: What do you do if you just want to laugh

338
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: at comedy but you're not I and I don't know

339
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: how you feel about this. I'm sort of like comedy

340
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: is like any other like art you're consuming, Like if

341
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: you aren't enjoying it, Like, yes, context can help and

342
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: like sort of understanding like why they're acting this way

343
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: and like what they are commenting on is helpful, But

344
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: like it's also like if it's not working for you,

345
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to like force yourself to like it.

346
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: You can just kind of move on. And find the

347
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: next thing that you do. Like I I think, well,

348
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between like challenging art and

349
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: just like um, bad art, right like and and I'm

350
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: not saying I'm the arbiter of what is challenging and

351
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: what is bad, but like if you're saying what you

352
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: don't like is like anti comedy from a comedians comedian,

353
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: oftentimes that person is just like um, essentially only performing

354
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: for their friends, and like if you don't get it,

355
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: that just means you're like normal, Yeah, you're like not

356
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: supposed to get it. And also frankly some of them,

357
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes like it's like it's almost a different thing.

358
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: Like if someone's doing, like I don't know, some kind

359
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: of comedy that only comedians get. That's literally like I

360
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like two writers having a correspondence, like

361
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: an epistolary correspondence. Like it's like, yeah, that's different than

362
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: like what they will publish as a novel. So I

363
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's I don't know. I think I think

364
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: you're fine, although now I'm like, now I'm like, okay,

365
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: but that's maybe a cop out, Like how do we

366
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: actually this person does want to get more comedy. I'm like, Okay,

367
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: here's my answer. I would I don't know where you live, um,

368
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: if you live in a city that has a been

369
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: comedy scene, but I think just going to different comedy

370
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: shows is a way to like brought in your horizons

371
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: in terms of what's out there. And um, I truly

372
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: don't know how people find comedy shows. It's like such

373
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: a mixed bag. Yeah, but I would say a good

374
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: policy is like go to one and then see which

375
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: of the comedians on it you like, and then maybe

376
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: ask either follow them on social media or asked to

377
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: be added to their email lists, and then kind of

378
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: work out your network raft from there, like then go

379
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: to that person's next show, and then you'll meet more

380
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: comedians that are similar to them and etcetera, etcetera. Yeah,

381
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: and to keep in mind some of those even those

382
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: shows will be duds, and it's like yeah, Like also,

383
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: if you find a good like weekly show or something,

384
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: you can actually get great single week because they'll have

385
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: different lineups every year. It's like, yeah, there's not As

386
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: someone who both of us have hosted weekly and monthly

387
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: shows before, it is so nice to have regulars and

388
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: people who like appreciate it for what it is and

389
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: know that people are there to work stuff out, and

390
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not the pressure of One of

391
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: the most stressful things is when there is like there

392
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: are two people in an audience that are clearly like

393
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know when sometimes you can tell it's

394
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: like two people that are like a married couple and

395
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: they're like, it's either this, it's like, this is our

396
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: last chance to see if we love each other, is

397
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: going to this comedy show. Like, there are so many

398
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: different kinds of stressful audience member that like having some

399
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: fun regulars that that you can count on as always

400
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: nice and people appreciate that, just like being you know,

401
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: people at restaurants and bars appreciate you being regular. Yeah,

402
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean if you tip well, um, yeah, I think

403
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty much that. So there is a second question

404
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: that you wanted to address. Oh yeah, this person also

405
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: that's a question that I thought was funny, um, which

406
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: is has any fan cross the line in some way

407
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: that you'd like to address one I would like to

408
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 1: say I don't really have fans. I would say there

409
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: are simply people. It feels I don't consider you know,

410
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be no, I know what I mean.

411
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: I know it's like the term fan I disagree with,

412
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: but um, they're people. They're like fans of the pod.

413
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: I would never have someone a fan of mine, but

414
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: I like calling people fans of the Fans of the

415
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: pot exist. I think people find us through other people

416
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: sometimes and like will follow us on social media randomly.

417
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: And I had one of those people, uh, do something

418
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: very weird to me once where they messaged me a

419
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: video of them like fully erect, naked and full body,

420
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: and they poured like a full bowl of putting on

421
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: their head, like not like a small bowl, like almost

422
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: like a mixing bowl of putting. Had you ever talked

423
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: about putting porn? Never? Never? Once? It's completely out of

424
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: left field, and it like I didn't even know. I

425
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: obviously didn't respond, but it was just like this is crazy,

426
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: because he also had kind of a crazy look on

427
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: his face, like he was kind of like breathing heavily.

428
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: But it was like shot in the day light, like

429
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: just standing in his kitchen, fully erect, pouring putting on

430
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: his head. Uh. And that was weird. That's crazy, that

431
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: was crazy. I'm trying to think. I mean, I'll say this,

432
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: it's like, this is a difficult topic because I think

433
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: because I think people interpret things like body language and

434
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: even normal language differently, and so often someone will not

435
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: know if they are being too forthcoming or if they

436
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: are being um or if you've kind of like allowed

437
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: because you've like opened up about something, you've allowed them

438
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: to then address you in a more familiar way. Um.

439
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: I mean I've had an issue of like someone coming

440
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: to like many of my shows in a row and

441
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: always making a point to talk to me afterwards, and

442
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, being overly familiar in a way that I

443
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: found a little scary. But at the same time, it's

444
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: like that person probably was not scary, but but it's

445
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: just sometimes it is Sometimes it's jarring when someone is

446
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: overly familiar. Yea, that is true, Okay, next question. Oh

447
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: and also, this person went to UVA for undergrad and

448
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: m I T for PhD. Not you're not the pudding

449
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: person this Miller Dawson, Well, we actually don't know where

450
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: the pudding person went to um and the and Dawson says,

451
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: I went to u for undergraund m I T for PhD.

452
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: And that gives priceless insight and context for understanding the pod,

453
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: which is actually pretty crazy, kind of true and weird. Actually, yeah,

454
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: kind of true and weird. The title of our album,

455
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: our joint album. Okay, this next question is from Joseph.

456
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: In fact, it is from j R. Which is how

457
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: they signed it. Now that we can be out and

458
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: meet new people again, I'm scared of the question what

459
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: are your hobbies right now? I work and go to

460
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: school full time and don't really have energy for a

461
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: full blown hobby. When I'm free, I either play a

462
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: video game on the easiest difficulty, why your television show

463
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: that requires zero thought? Or hang out with one or

464
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: three of my friends. Interesting, well, I like that the

465
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: number two is not included because you don't want to

466
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: be a third wheel. You either hang out one on

467
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: one or in a group. I think it's so smart,

468
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: and this question is one of those classic Wait have

469
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I told you about Sorry, I just said the word

470
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: classical way around me of this? Have I shown you

471
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: the video of Tracy Ullman doing Helen Miren promoting a

472
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: film called Fish Out Those Old Teets? I don't think so. Okay,

473
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm going to talk about this for twenty seconds.

474
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: I pros The entire point is like Calimara went through

475
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: this phase in her career late in her career where

476
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: she would like constantly be nude and it would be

477
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: like so cool that she's like in her six season

478
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: she was nude. And so the joke is that she's

479
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: promoting a film called Fish Out Those Old Teets, but

480
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: the premise of the film is only that she fishes

481
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: out her teeths. So, so the interviewer is like, so,

482
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: what's the story of, you know, what's the tell us

483
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more about your character, what's the story?

484
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: And then telling Mary was like, it's fish out those

485
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Old tates is a classic fish out of what a story?

486
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: And then the interviewer is like, oh, just so, does

487
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: that mean your character doesn't belong like blah blah, And

488
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: then hellmy, I was like, no, no, I don't think

489
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: you're getting it. It's a classic fish those old teets

490
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: outable a story. Well, anyway, I'm sorry I just said

491
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: classic in that way, and I always am making that

492
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: reference to myself. I think that was worth it. Anyway,

493
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: let's answer. I think that was fun. Um So, I

494
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: think this question about hobbies makes me feel like, um,

495
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you're completely normal. Sorry to use that word,

496
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: but you seem like everyone has like a job and

497
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: also just watch the TV or reads a book, or

498
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: plays video games or hangs out with their friends. I

499
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: think hobbies are for people that are wealthy. You know,

500
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: dare I say this is a gawker post like against hobbies?

501
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and there you go. Yeah, hobbies are for

502
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: the wealthy, the or maybe the retired or the successful. Um.

503
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: And that's not ok not to like be like work

504
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: till you die productivity culture. I don't believe in that either.

505
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: I think if you have the time, you should like

506
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: use it to like actively relax. But I just think

507
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: like often hobbies include like space, uh, equipment Like yeah,

508
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: I thought you meant like outer space. No. No, like

509
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: like you have to have like an extra room for

510
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: your bigby or you have to Yeah. Wait, I want

511
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: to push back on that a tiny bit because in

512
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: my mind it can actually I think obviously like skiing

513
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: as a hobby is what you're saying. But on the

514
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: other time, they can also be the opposite, which is

515
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: like a way to something that isn't like going to

516
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: restaurants and going on trips like your hobby can be knitting,

517
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: or it can be even drawing or writing, like it

518
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: can be something that, like, um, that is actually something

519
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: you do. I mean, the whole point of a hobby,

520
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: I think ideally is kind of liberating that it is

521
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: something that you are not doing for money or as

522
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: like a hustle, if you will. Having said that, and

523
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: I say that completely aspirationally, because I don't have that,

524
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: and I always wish I did. Like it. My sister

525
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: um is like was always a very good artist and

526
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: almost like minored in art and and all this stuff,

527
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: and like she just like it's part of her life

528
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: that she paints like beautiful paintings just as a hobby

529
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: and like gives them to family members or will sell

530
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: them for and give the money to like a charity.

531
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: And it's just like I'm so jealous of something like that.

532
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: And she is a full on, like engineering PhD student,

533
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: but she can do this thing that gives her so

534
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: much joy and turn off her brain, or not turning

535
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 1: off her brain, because it's still an activity. Refuse your rain,

536
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: but like use your brain in a different way. Like

537
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: if I had if I was, you know, knitting a sweater,

538
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: and that made me happy that would make me, so

539
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: that would be so nice. Yeah no, I mean I

540
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: guess if you can do it then that is good.

541
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: But it is kind of even though it is relaxing,

542
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: it is productive and it's like hard in the hustle.

543
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: It's like like make that space and even like further

544
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: better yourself because you're like like you're already life is

545
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: already so much betterment it's like sometimes you just gotta

546
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: pick back and watch the tube. But I mean it's

547
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: a I think it is like having a hobby as aspirational.

548
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: But I don't think you're again weird for not like

549
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: recreation of course. Yeah yeah, all right, um yeah, okay

550
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: this is you? Uh Hi Sam and George? Do you

551
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: like this is Daisy? Do you like being recognized slash

552
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: having fans or is it a weird experience? Last week

553
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: at Club Coming, I told Sam I loved him so much,

554
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: and then afterwards felt like I was creepy. So maybe

555
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm just asking this to absolve or further shame myself,

556
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: but I do love you both both so much earnestly, Um,

557
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: this is very sweet, Daisy. I remember you coming up

558
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: to me at Club Coming, and uh it doesn't weird

559
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: me out at this point in time, right, like you know,

560
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 1: I was hanging out with UM, one of our more

561
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: famous friends, who was actually very recently on the podcast,

562
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: and he was sort of like, you know, it's tough

563
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: actually because people keep asking me for pictures and I'm nice,

564
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: so I say yes, but then it just keeps happening,

565
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: and I don't really know how to tastefully say no.

566
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: And I can say that I am not on a

567
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: UM long running television program, and so I do not

568
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: have that same problem. And so, as we said before,

569
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: we don't really have fans. The pod has fans, and

570
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: so I'm always grateful when someone says they like me. UM.

571
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: I may be bad at it. I don't really know

572
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: the proper response. I'm just like thank you, and then

573
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: I kind of I don't know where we go from there,

574
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: but I still like it. George thoughts, Yeah, well, I

575
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I just want to shout out one of our stradios

576
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: because they have been very kind to me. UM are

577
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Glamour Girl Save who In fact, one of their question

578
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: we answered one of their questions during the Last Earnestness Bonanza.

579
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: They were I don't want to say what place, but

580
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: they work UM at a very trendy and very good

581
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: in fact, like kind of all day cafe type place

582
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: that has really good pastries and stuff. And I the

583
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: first time I went there, they recognized me when I

584
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: was paying, and it was like really really nice. I

585
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: was having kind of like a difficult day and it

586
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: made me feel much better, and um, I I then

587
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: became I then became the one being over came earlier

588
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: because then I started going back in the hopes that

589
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: I would run into them again. Um. But then in

590
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: fact I went back a couple of days ago and

591
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: sure enough there they were. And I was looking for

592
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: artisanal donuts to bring to Matthew because he was packing

593
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: because he's moving apartments, and they um mended their favorite

594
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: flavors and I got them and they were delicious. And

595
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: it is essentially like the equivalent of like knowing people

596
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: in your community. It's just like, not, this place isn't

597
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: actually in my neighborhood, but because I know someone who

598
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: works there, I feel it feels like nice to go there. Yeah.

599
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I will say I really I just

600
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: do not enjoy the app Instagram point blank. So'm I

601
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: have a difficult time, like I often don't respond to

602
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: my own friends on there. So if anyone has ever

603
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: replied to a story or try to damn me and

604
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: I didn't get back to you, I promise it's not

605
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: for any reason other than I simply hate being on Instagram. Yeah. Okay,

606
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: this is from Christopher. Hello, hey, hello, Hi, first time listener,

607
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: a long time emailing emailer. I want to know what

608
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: gives you all the energy, the pep, the kick in

609
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: your shorty short shorts to create comedy. Sometimes it feels

610
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: like the weight of all that has already been created,

611
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: and how embarrassing it is to be a person and

612
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: have feelings and get me oh my god, and get

613
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: me too down? Just gets me too down before I

614
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: even can get myself to start loosely artistic endeavors. How

615
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: do you deal with that? How do you deal with

616
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: some form of that? Or am I as alone as

617
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: my silly mind leads me to believe. Probably a better

618
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: question to start with, but I'm not sure how I

619
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: feel about the next ary visions. Okay, Um, first of all,

620
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: the question is perfect. I just am illiterate, um, and

621
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm just reading the ps and the pps hilarious. We

622
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: are standing forever. Oh and I like the sign up

623
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: thanks paras social pals there you go, Um, yeah, do

624
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: you want to take this one? Um? Where do we

625
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: get the pep in my step? Um? I don't know.

626
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things that you don't

627
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: necessarily know where it comes from. I feel like I

628
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: just I don't know. So I'm trying to think of like,

629
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: because there's some positive reasons, Like it's like I just

630
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: enjoy comedy a lot, and it like brings me happiness.

631
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: But then there's also negative reasons where it's like I'm

632
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: kind of competitive and like I crave attention. So like

633
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think it's like a combination of my

634
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: good and bad qualities that makes me pursue it. I mean,

635
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: it's some form of audience like my you know, at

636
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: my peak stand up Wise, I just like really enjoyed

637
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: interacting with an audience, and I I think, yes, it's

638
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: negative to want attention in some capacity, but I also think,

639
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: like not to it is also nice to feel like

640
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: you're making people laugh, and like it is very rare,

641
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: you know, in all the jobs we've had and all

642
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: the things we've done, it's very rare to have something

643
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: where you can tell something you did has a positive impact,

644
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: and no part of me thinks, you know, I'm a

645
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: doctor or a nurse, but like it feels nice to

646
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: see someone like literally be in a better mood than

647
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: they were a second ago because of something you said.

648
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: But in terms of the question of how do you

649
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: deal with basically I want to I want to give

650
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: Christopher some any kind of productive suggestions, Like if you

651
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: feel in a rut, what do you do? My answer

652
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: to that, I think is like watch or listen to

653
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: something to be inspired or read something to be inspired by,

654
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: like and and you always think it's when you're in

655
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: a rut and you're just like scrolling on your phone

656
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: and you're you know, not cleaning your apartment and you're

657
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: in bed and I'm not you know, actual mental health

658
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: stuff aside I'm talking about, you know, a mini rite.

659
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: You think you're like, how could I ever get out

660
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: of this? And it's like, if you just watch a

661
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: movie read a book within five minutes, you will have

662
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: read or watch something that is into, sting and inspiring. Yeah,

663
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: I fully agree. And I think sometimes like accepting like

664
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: you're going into a consumption era is like really helpful

665
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: because very true it's so true that you have to

666
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: go into a consumption era because someone you're so often like,

667
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: oh I need to be putting some out, and it's

668
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: like sometimes you just gotta listen a little. Yeah. I

669
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: also think, and not to be too lame, but there's

670
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: like an element of like you gotta forgive yourself for

671
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: those ruts, because like you're gonna if you're like, oh,

672
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything yesterday, so I'm sucking behind and

673
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm twenty four and I'm gonna be twenty five and

674
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: then I'm forty, Like you just kind of got to

675
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: be like it's okay, I didn't do anything. Like if

676
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: I think about my day to day, like do I

677
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: get a lot done? No, but like over a month,

678
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: like you actually kind of do get stuff done if

679
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: you do like a little like if you do one thing,

680
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: like every day, you're you're good, you're chilling. So it's

681
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: like about like forgiving the inactive time to you. I think, yeah, no, absolutely.

682
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: It is so crazy when sometimes you'll go months without

683
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: truly like doing anything that inspires you, and then you

684
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: do one thing and you're like, oh god, this was

685
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: available to me this whole time. Yeah, it give me

686
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: a bummer, and also go outside, Oh my god, go

687
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: for a damn walk, go for a bike ride, and

688
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: listen to fucking music and talk to your friend and

689
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: like your friends in real life, not just over text,

690
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: and like hang out with someone who's like funnier and

691
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: smarter than you. You'll just be like, oh right, this rules.

692
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: I love being around people like this, Okay, Sam, Um,

693
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,120

Speaker 1: to you from sunny San Antonio, Texas. Hugh Chat out

695
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: to Texas. Um. Is there a celebrity or a specific

696
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: scene for a movie or TV show when you were

697
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: younger that you would attribute to being the first time

698
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: you had an inkling that you might not have been straight? Um?

699
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work gaslighting, gatekeeping and glamour girl bossing. Um.

700
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: I love that. Um, George, this is not a a

701
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: first Oh it doesn't say first Oh no, it does.

702
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: It literally says first time. But this this is early

703
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: enough that I that I think is like that I

704
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: think is oh, you know what, I have such a

705
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: good answer to this and it actually is the first time. Okay, Wow,

706
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just have this memory and I

707
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe I've even talked about this on a different podcast.

708
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: In the movie As Good as It Gets, Greg Kenear

709
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: plays a gay guy, and I'm pretty sure it's it's him.

710
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: There's a simple scene, and keep in mind I was

711
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: six years old when this movie. There is a scene

712
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: where you just see his butt like that. I think,

713
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: I think, if I remember correctly, he is walking while

714
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: putting on pants. He's like in a rush in his

715
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: apartment and like it's going to get the doors. So

716
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: he's like walking while putting on pants, and so you

717
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: see for a brief moment him putting the pants over

718
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: his butt, and it was like and I just think

719
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: I remember. I truly do think I've told the story before,

720
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: so I apologize if anyone has heard it. But I

721
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: remember telling my mom um, when I see naked people,

722
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to pee, because like that's how I was

723
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: processing that, Like my penis was feeling something. Wow. But

724
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: it was yeah, okay, I don't think it's psycho. That's

725
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: wrong about that. And also it's funny because of course

726
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: I did not know who Greg Canear was. But then

727
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: later in life when I rewatched it, you know, at

728
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: some point in high school or college or something, I

729
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: was like Wow, Greg Kenear was my gay awakening. I

730
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: was six years old and it was in theaters. I

731
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: remember I was with my mom, Wow, No, that's a

732
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: great one. That's a good story. I don't. I've really

733
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: been racking my brain to think of like an early

734
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: early one, and I I kind of can't. I'm like

735
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: I want to think out loud a little, like I

736
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: kind of remember like, um, the movie Anger Management also

737
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: with Jack Nicholson, Um, and there was a lot out

738
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: of like homoerotic tension. The cover of that movie was

739
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: like them close face to face, yeah, and it was

740
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: all about like someone like Jack Nicholson had a big

741
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: dick and like Jack Nicholson, like I wanted to sleep

742
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: naked in the bed with Adam Standler and it was

743
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: like I remember that movie, Like all of these jokes

744
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: were obviously played for laps because like gay is bad.

745
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: And then it was like but I was like, wait,

746
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: I wish that happened to me, Like so there's that one,

747
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: and then like but I do think there was like

748
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: and this is when I was a freshman in college,

749
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: so it's less like my first but this was like

750
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: genuinely a turning point in my mind. Where I was like, oh,

751
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: this is okay, I have to deal with this. Was

752
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: watching the movie Kinsey Wow, when like Liam Neeson and

753
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Peter stars Guard kiss Peter star Guard Stars Guard is hot.

754
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: He's so hot, and it was just like it like

755
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: hit me so hard, and I was like, okay, fuck,

756
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: I really have to figure this out. Wow, I should

757
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: watch that movie. It Actually I did rewatch it recently

758
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: and it is quite bad but still hot in Horny. Okay,

759
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: well I think those are both very good, I'll say

760
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: very quickly. My second one was going to be that, um,

761
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the threesome scene in Zoolander. Oh yeah. I have a

762
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: very distinct memory of like the scene starting and me

763
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: being so turned on that I turned it off, and

764
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: all my life I thought that it truly it was

765
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: like a hardcore gay sex scene. And I and I

766
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: do not think. I think it's just them like both

767
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: kissing Christine Taylor. Yeah, it's like their head like yeah,

768
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: but I was like, oh, they're about to fuck. I

769
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: love that. The power of film. Um all right, and honestly,

770
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: Owen Wilson in that movie, like as Hansen, is truly iconic.

771
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, this is from Ben Hello here are

772
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: my questions, George, do you feel any guilt for letting

773
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: Sam and Shazamed to claim that improv helps with communication

774
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: and improves relationships? Sam, do you think Chris Gethard is hot?

775
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: And for both of you? What are your thoughts on

776
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: the Noah bomback m Greenberg? Oh, you know, I watched

777
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: this film literally in the last year, so I that's

778
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: why I started this one because I was like, what

779
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: are the chances? Okay so much the first on the podcast.

780
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: That means a lot to me and it helps me

781
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: feel gay XO XO Benches sincerely, Ben. Okay you okay,

782
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: you start with the first one? Okay? Do I feel

783
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: any guilt? Re lighting Salmon Sashier claimed that improv helps

784
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: with communication improves relationships. I will say our episode just

785
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: here s shire Zameda, one of the kindest and most

786
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: generous and funniest people. You know, UM was on the

787
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: earnest side, and it's something that I was like, I

788
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: actually found very charming because I could see this kind

789
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: of big sister, little brother relationship between you and Sashier.

790
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: And I can't remember if I was being, uh in

791
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: any way reactionary towards the earnest in this at the time,

792
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure I was a little bit, but um, it

793
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: was one of those episodes. I think the Guy Brandom

794
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: episode was like this too, where I think we're going

795
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: to completely direct something through the mud and then it

796
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: turns out people earnest opinions about Like when Guy talked

797
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: about table top role playing games. At first, I was like,

798
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: that's not what we do here, but then I was like, no,

799
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: this is nice. I will say I have in terms

800
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: of my own relationship to improv when we lived in

801
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I have a very distinct memory of taking

802
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: an improv class like in when I was in like

803
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: seventh grade and truly being so enamored by it. I

804
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: just thought it was like the most incredible thing ever.

805
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: But then when I went back to Greece, like there

806
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: was nothing like that. So and then by the time

807
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: I was in college, I was already cynical and thought

808
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: it was like not cool. So I do think I

809
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: was maybe stripped of any kind of improv background. But

810
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: that is my answer to that. Okay question to Sam,

811
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: do you think Chris Keether is hot? Um, I've never

812
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: thought he was hot in my own life. I have

813
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: never been like pining after Chris Catherd. But it's like

814
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: gunned ahead. I'm like, yeah, I think he's very cute. Yeah,

815
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: but you know, he's one of those people that I've

816
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: not seen through the sexual lens, which is also beautiful. Um.

817
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: And now, George, I think this is where you take over.

818
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the no A Bombach film Greenberg? Okay,

819
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: So the thing with Greenberg, if I'm not mistaken, is

820
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: that it is the film that was when this is

821
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: when bomb Back cheated on Jennifer Jason Lee with Greta Gerwig.

822
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: Because this movie, yeah, no, it's definitely it definitely is.

823
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: So this movie was written by Jennifer Jason Lee and

824
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: Noah Bomback when they were together, and it stars Greta Gerwig.

825
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: So basically he like fell in love with her, I

826
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: guess on set while shooting this film that he co

827
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: wrote with his wife, who is also in it in

828
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: another role. Yeah, it's a very juicy story. Um. I mean,

829
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: I will say for that reason, it's like kind of

830
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: difficult to watch like that. That and but I will

831
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: say it's a really good Ben Stiller performance, you know what, No,

832
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: not that I think about it, I really did like it.

833
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: I like, I liked it, and I was about to

834
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: say it's like one of his more kind of thankless movies,

835
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: but I actually think um, in fact, because it was

836
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: co written by Jennifer Jasonly, I assume it actually has

837
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: some more heart and some more humor that some of

838
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: his more like depressing ones do not. In fact, one

839
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: could argue that women make his movies better generally, because

840
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: then Gretegor Wigg also make some movies better. Wow. So yeah,

841
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it's I always think it's

842
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: fun when Ben Stiller does like a role that isn't

843
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: fully slapstick. Sure, that's been the Greenberg corner. Um. Whoa.

844
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: I love the all caps help of the conject line.

845
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: This is from Do I read this one? I think

846
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: it's me maybe? Okay, uh, what's up Sam and George?

847
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: This is from Sonja. How do you guys think I

848
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: should make money? Okay, So a little background. I just

849
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: graduated from law school boo, and I don't really want

850
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: to be a lawyer. When I took acid for the

851
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: first time, I was like, I just want to create, Like,

852
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: should I be a lesbian carpenter? Can I monetize being

853
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: a glamor girl, and yes I'm good at everything. What

854
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: about cave girl? Summer is France over? Do I deserve friends? Okay? Thanks?

855
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: I love driving around listening to the pod, laughing my

856
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: ass off and feeing intellectual. Wow, thank you God. I

857
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: love this so much. Do you think it's pronounced Sonja? Oh?

858
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: It could be. Okay, I'm just going off with Sonia Morgan,

859
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: the Real Housewife of New York. Oh, I'm not a

860
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: real housewife's game. And that's how you miss a lot

861
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: of these things. So what I will say to Sonja

862
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: the first of all, not to hit glamor girls against

863
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: one another. This is one of my favorite emails we've

864
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: ever received. It's just like concise and has a lot

865
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: of different questions but still leaves things open. It's like

866
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: familiar with the pod, but not just you know, reference

867
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: after reference. Not that not that I don't like it

868
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: when something is referenced after restaurants, but I think this

869
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: is a very good email. Meanwhile, I don't pick favorites.

870
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: I think and I think it's actually incredible. One of

871
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: my favorite things about the emails that it is signed

872
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: best and Love and of combining the more impersonal best

873
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: with the more personal love. So let's see, this person

874
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: just graduated from law school. Um, and I feel like

875
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: this is in your wheelhouse, this is sort of in

876
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 1: your expertise. Well, first of all, I do think law

877
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: school is one of those things that opens a lot

878
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: of doors. Like it it opens more doors than it closes.

879
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: I don't think so many people went to law school

880
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: and are not lawyers. I you know, there are people

881
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: who went to law school who work in journalism or

882
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: PR or marketing. And this is I'm only talking about,

883
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, real corporate jobs, not even not even touching

884
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: on the fact that I'm not going to look this up.

885
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: But part of me thinks John Oliver studied law at

886
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: Oxford or something. Guy Brandham was a lawyer. Oh my god. Yes,

887
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: better example, better example, because I like him more than

888
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: John Oliver. Um. Yes, Guy Branham went to law school.

889
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: I believe at Berkeley, like at a really which is

890
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: really good law school. And I will say I have

891
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: a friend who became a carpenter and um, like started

892
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: making furniture and like found a place to apprentice. If

893
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: you want to be a lesbian carpenter, Um, how do

894
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: you monetize being a glamour girl. Figure that out, yeah,

895
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: which I mean, yeah, we truly are we truly are

896
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out. Um God, I'm not being sorry.

897
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: We have you want to say, just I want to

898
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: be a bad influence and I'm like, follow the follow

899
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: the joy, follow your little acid trip, Like, I don't know,

900
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: you can have a different job, Like you're probably right,

901
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: you probably don't want to be a lawyer, Like I

902
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: don't know what the answer, but at least you know

903
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: what you don't want to do, like and Georgia saying

904
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: you can do anything. I am trying to think. The

905
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: thing is I so relate to or if not relate,

906
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: then I I so. Um, I'm familiar with this feeling

907
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: of like feeling like you want to do something creative

908
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: and not having an outlet yet. I mean I kind

909
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: of think the best thing you can do is enter

910
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: a consumption era, as we said before, and kind of

911
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: be like, all right, what are three things I'm interested in?

912
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it's carpentry, uh, stand up comedy and you know,

913
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: get talking, Okay, sure are cooking or so so so

914
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: then like you know, you don't have to jump in immediately,

915
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: but maybe you start going to shows, or start following

916
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: some artists that you like, and and and going and

917
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: and buying their things, or going to like a museum

918
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: or whatever else. I think being exposed to different things

919
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: helps you formulate what you then want to put out

920
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: into the world. Fully agree. Yeah, and France is not over. No,

921
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: Frances is not over. In fact, I've been like wanting

922
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: to go to France. Yeah, France is literally about to

923
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: pop off. Um, I mean Emily in Paris. Susan two

924
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: is coming out soon. That is so true. Um, okay,

925
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: this one's you. I think this is from Tash. Hey, guys,

926
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: Canadian fan and glamor girl. Here here to sincerely ask

927
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 1: a two prompt question. What is the movie you would

928
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: sort of comfortably boast is your favorite? One asked? And

929
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: what is the movie that is your true true favor

930
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: when you've rewatched a million times, despite how maybe embarrassing

931
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: it is or how poorly at age. Oh, I really

932
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: love this one, and I think I have a good answer,

933
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: And then it says ps I was originally going to

934
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: ask George's favorite theorist, but I guess that's a bad question. Huh. Well,

935
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I don't have a favorite theorist.

936
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: But I was talking about this the other day. There

937
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: um is an essay by Eve because Osk Sedgwick called

938
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: something like reparative reading and paranoid reading, and I remember

939
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: reading that when I was in grad school and it

940
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: had a very profound effect on me. So I don't

941
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 1: know if she's my favorite theorist, but that that would

942
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: be my answer to that. But let's let's answer the

943
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: movie thing. Um. Okay, I think I do have an

944
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: answer to Okay, so the movie I so when I

945
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: was like, all of my favorite movies are already embarrassing

946
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: because they're like movies that, like a teenager who's into

947
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: film would say are their favorite, so they're embarrassing in

948
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: a different way. But like, I honestly think my favorite

949
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: movie is Eyes Wide Shut. I think it's like I

950
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: really like going to see it in theaters when like

951
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: it's playing on Christmas at like Metrograph or whatever. I

952
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: think it's like so fun that it's like set in

953
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, in Manhattan, like right before nine eleven. I

954
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: have a lot of it's very evocative that they're like

955
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: in fo Schwartz and it reminds me like the toy

956
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: stores when I was younger and whatever. And it's also

957
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: just like Tom Cruise and a cold Kiming at their hottest.

958
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: It's like an incredible and cold kidman performance. It's just

959
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: it's fair. It has the sex that has everything. It's

960
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: like I mean, Sidney Paul. I just think it's like genius.

961
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not good at talking about film,

962
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: but I is a movie I really enjoy watching. I

963
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: would say, uh in terms of like a true true

964
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: faive uh more of a comfort watch. Let's say I

965
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: mean I truly love devil Wares product. Oh yeah, that's

966
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: a good point. And also and also I would say

967
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: both for like both my sincere favorite and even the

968
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: one I say sometimes is my Big Factory Wedding, Like

969
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: I famously love that movie and used to know every

970
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: single word from it, and like I do think it

971
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: holds up and actually has like complex things to say about,

972
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: like the immigrant experience and actually along those lines. I

973
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: don't know if this movie has aged well, so don't

974
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: so I truly haven't seen it over ten years, but

975
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: I remember during the time when I really like Big

976
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: Factory Wedding, also liking Bend It like Beckham, Oh my god,

977
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,959
Speaker 1: I love bend it like Beckham I did. I tried

978
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: to watch it a couple of years ago. It didn't

979
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: hold up great for me, but maybe I was too

980
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: hard on it. Um. I you know, this is a

981
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: tough question for me because UM my answer for both

982
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings the tribology, UM, I don't.

983
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm over like boasting a favorite to be

984
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: like cool and um and so the two have merged now.

985
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: And I I think that is genuinely Uh. That series

986
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: I watched every single year at least once, and it

987
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: really hits hard for me. And I just think it's great.

988
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: And that is not a new thought. No, I love that.

989
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, like what else if I was

990
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: being even more pretentious, I don't know. I have been

991
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: watching many clear Deni movies during the pandemic. I'll say that,

992
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: I'll just show should we go to the next one? Yeah? Okay?

993
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: Is this me? I'm just gonna cut straight to the

994
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: questions because there's a let's choose. There are a lot

995
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: of questions and we're gonna choose some of them. Okay.

996
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: The first question, when did you lose your virginities? Which

997
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: obviously is a juicy question. We simply have to answer um.

998
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: And I don't have a great like like one, what

999
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: is what is losing your um? Especially as the gay men,

1000
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily subscribe to penetration is it um? But

1001
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: I do want to tell my first like gay hook

1002
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: up because it's interesting um and kind of scary and

1003
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: also grows um. But So I was in college and

1004
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: I was not out, and I was like on one

1005
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: of these like old school websites. It was called I

1006
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: Think out personal dot com and it was like this

1007
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: the weirdest era of like gay hook up. It was

1008
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: like pre grinder lifestyle. And I found this guy that

1009
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: was an r A in like a far away dorm

1010
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: and he was like meet me in the chemistry building

1011
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: bathroom and I literally like I was like okay. And

1012
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: this was like late at night, and it was like

1013
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: one of those bathrooms that you can lock, and we

1014
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: like met in this fucking one person bathroom and just

1015
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: like blew each other and I was like this is

1016
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: and then I like ran away, like and then it

1017
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: ended and I went home and I was like so

1018
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: surprised because I were a freshman in college. I was

1019
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: a freshman in college and how old was he. I

1020
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: think he was like a junior in college. Yeah, and

1021
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: he was very It was just very like, you know,

1022
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: you leave that and you're like, I wasn't out, and

1023
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: I was like, what did I do? What did I do?

1024
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: What did I do? This is insane? Um. And I

1025
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: was mostly I think it was a good step to

1026
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: coming out because it happened and it was over, and

1027
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, I'm it doesn't matter. That

1028
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: was totally yeah, I'm over it now like there's less

1029
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: it's less heightened. Um. So it was weird, but ultimately good.

1030
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: So my first okay, so my first uh yeah, my

1031
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: first experience, um was freshman year of college. And I

1032
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: have to say it's interesting because after this I then

1033
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 1: had a I then like for the rest of the year,

1034
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: maybe it did not hook up with anyone, or if

1035
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: I did, it was not good. Like I I did

1036
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: not have good experience with the rest of the year

1037
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: and probably an honestly into even my software year. But

1038
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, my first experience was I thought positive.

1039
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: It was like someone I was really really attracted to

1040
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: I had met I thought was very hot and like

1041
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: it just I was. It was one of those things

1042
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: where I was so shocked I was having any kind

1043
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: of contact with a man so easily, and I was

1044
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: like I thought maybe this would never happen in my

1045
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: entire life. Like it just I was like not ready

1046
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: for it to not not not ready as and I

1047
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: wasn't like consenting. I just was like shocked at how

1048
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: easily and like comfortably it was happening. The only issue

1049
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: is that I was like very very inexperienced. I mean,

1050
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: obviously I had never done anything before, but also just

1051
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: like I had never even like met a real gay

1052
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: person before. Like it was it was very very new

1053
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: to me. And this was like during one of the

1054
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: first weeks of of the college whereas the person I

1055
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: was hooking up with was one of these people who

1056
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: like had an older boyfriend in high school and like

1057
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: would hook up with people in his hometown and was like,

1058
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I think from the South, um,

1059
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: but just like was way more comfortable in himself sexually,

1060
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: but also just like I was used to frankly better

1061
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: sex Like I was like, I mean not to be

1062
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: two t m I, but like I did not last

1063
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: very long. Like it was like it was like I

1064
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: was truly like a child. Um, so I think um,

1065
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: even though I wanted it to continue, I think he

1066
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: was like, I think I can I can do better

1067
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: than we did hook up like a couple more times,

1068
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: and then I was just like, I yeah, I think, um,

1069
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I think it was more advanced than I was. Yeah,

1070
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: it's such a funny thing to think about the first like,

1071
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: because it's weird how heightened it was. Like I was like,

1072
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: I remember then going back to my dorm and being like,

1073
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that just happened, Like of all people

1074
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: to me, like I was the one who, like you also,

1075
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what things will feel like. You don't

1076
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: know what things will feel like. You definitely don't know

1077
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: how to do things. I mean, I also was extremely

1078
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: like that guy. He was really like, I'm sure it

1079
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: was probably the worst blow job he's ever had in

1080
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: his life. I was just simply like there, like sometimes

1081
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: that's enough. I will say, there's a part of me

1082
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: that's so like that is jealous of people who like

1083
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: honestly had sexual experiences in high school. Yeah, I'm a

1084
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: little jealous of that too, But you know, and I

1085
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: do wonder I don't know what things would have been

1086
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: like if I was more adventurous. Okay, second question is

1087
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: has George decorated his empty, tasteless apartment. Frankly, the answer

1088
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: is no. I mean I have, like I have bought

1089
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: more things, like I bought this, I bought like two

1090
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: pieces of furniture and some plants and things like that.

1091
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: But like the most important thing, which is things on walls,

1092
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: simply has not happened yet. I've been dragging my feet

1093
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: on framing things. And the reason is because I kind

1094
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: of want to move. And I think now that I

1095
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: have this new job and have a little bit more money,

1096
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: I think I am going to try to move. So

1097
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: that's the story there. Yeah, and I also want to say,

1098
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: in your defense, while I was there in the daytime,

1099
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: it's a lovely little spot, like sure, it's not like impacted,

1100
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: like it looks much worse on screen. Yeah, on screen,

1101
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: it truly looks like I'm in a dungeon. It is

1102
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: like a very normal one bedroom apartment that's just like

1103
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: slightly and some candles, and I have like not nice furniture.

1104
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: It's not like expensive, but like it is, it's not

1105
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: ikea like it is like generally nice. Like yeah, it's

1106
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: not yeah, it's not terrible. Um. And the last one

1107
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: we were going to do from this chunk is what's

1108
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: your what What were your biggest insecurities growing up? I

1109
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: mean I talked about this. I it was my body.

1110
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: I was like my weight fluctuator a lot. I was

1111
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: very uh big for most of high school Greek families,

1112
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: like people don't know how to talk about that stuff,

1113
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: so like fully, like family members would just be like, well,

1114
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: you're fat. And this was before the you know, before

1115
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: we knew whatever. That was my biggest insecurity. I think

1116
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: mine was a little more like it's kind of basic,

1117
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Like it was like, um, seeming like fem or gay essentially,

1118
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: and so that like that was a constant like don't

1119
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: be like that. Um. And then it was also like, um,

1120
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I think it was a lot of like my interests,

1121
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Like I I think I was always into more childish things,

1122
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Like I always felt a little slower to like jump

1123
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: to the mature stuff than other people. And like, and

1124
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: now in a way that I'm like is beautiful. I

1125
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: think it's like still like kind of true and like

1126
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: is a source of joy. But I think back then

1127
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: it was like, well, I'm like I shouldn't be playing

1128
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: with ugo cards. I'm fifteen now or whatever however old

1129
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I was, and it's like what twelve years like? The

1130
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: difference is there, but like you can also have fun

1131
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: with these things. I feel like so much of your

1132
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: personality and comedy as an adult, which is actually I

1133
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: think is very like very nice, is like almost you

1134
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: embracing the like parts of yourself that you were insecure

1135
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: when you were younger. Yeah, I fully agree, I agree,

1136
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's fun. Yeah, well talking about earnestness. Damn, um wait,

1137
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I lost my button. Okay, there it is Olivia Live Live.

1138
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Um Oh, this is a good one. I've often described

1139
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: myself assists woman as a reluctant hetero. Despite all my trying,

1140
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: I just can't quit men. They're ultimately gross, responsible for

1141
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: the destruction of the planets, starting literally all wars and

1142
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: making me think I was pretty but chubby through high school. Honestly,

1143
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: good job giving yourself a compliment during that neg As

1144
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: gay men, what is it that attracts you to men

1145
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: are either straight or I think that's such a good question.

1146
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: How do you overlook the massive flaws ingrained in them

1147
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: by society from birth? One thing I can't get past

1148
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: is that most younger men have a headset in their

1149
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: home for playing video games. If anyone in any in

1150
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: my relationship should be able to dress up as a

1151
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: sassy reception is at the drop of a hat, it's me.

1152
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:57,959
Speaker 1: Um wow, this is such a juicy question. Um well,

1153
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: I think on the first of all, just on a

1154
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: base level, I think, you know, power corrupts absolutely. I think, um,

1155
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: if the generals were flipped, we would you know, it's

1156
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: just about power and mentioned that power. I think if

1157
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: you take away power, they're very funny people. I think

1158
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: they're very like I what I like about No, I

1159
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: think I know, I know what you're saying, which is

1160
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: if if you don't mind me like editorializing. I think

1161
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: men are childish and that can be charming. Yes, like

1162
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the doofiness I find so hot and like especially like Yeah,

1163
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before. I I like I have

1164
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: a joke about it on stage where I feel like

1165
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: women have like the market cornered on like the dumbest

1166
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: horny is people alive and it's just unfair because they're

1167
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: straight man. No, it's true. I do think that's like

1168
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: such a you know, um glass half full weight of view. Honestly,

1169
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: some of men's words qualit is because it is exactly

1170
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: that childishness and that uh brute not brutishness, Is that

1171
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: the right word? You know? Like um sort of actlessness

1172
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and whatever that makes them, you know, maybe not have

1173
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: as much emotional intelligence or or empathy and makes them

1174
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to generalize, but like might make a

1175
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: man not as good as a parent, you know, think

1176
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: things like that, like or a partner or whatever. Um.

1177
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: And so often when you exit the expectations of a

1178
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: heteronormative relationship and lifestyle, you can almost appreciate that stuff

1179
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: without dealing with the negative stuff that comes with like

1180
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: a man having to like do traditional masculine things that

1181
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: he inevitably fails at. I think in terms of what

1182
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: I like when I connect with someone, it's more that

1183
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: I connect with a game a gay person that then

1184
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: I connect with a man like. I can't be like.

1185
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: The reason I like men is x y Z, because

1186
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: then if I meet a random like guy named Greg

1187
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,439
Speaker 1: at a barbecue, he will have none of the things

1188
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I like and men like That's simply not what I'm

1189
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: looking for. So so often it has it has let's

1190
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: do with gender than like that we because of this way,

1191
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: we're cheating, like get to have sex with people that

1192
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: are have similar life experiences as we do. Okay, wholesome answer. No,

1193
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,959
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think though that because this woman, she says,

1194
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: she identifies as this woman, UM also wants to know,

1195
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: like what she can do to be more attracted to

1196
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: straight like what she can do to like straight men more. Um. Yeah,

1197
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean I I do think of them as a pet.

1198
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: I do sympathize with dating straight men. It does seem

1199
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: hard to find like thoughtful kind and honestly, it's it's

1200
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: also difficult to find good game, Like if we're talking

1201
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: about long term ships, I mean some of the worst

1202
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: people on the planet, I mean truly like people were

1203
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: friends with, Like I could not imagine ever being in

1204
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: a romantic relationship with some of my truly best friends. Um,

1205
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: that's a great point. It's difficult. I think, like there's

1206
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: always going to be an entitlement there. There's always gonna

1207
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, but but at the same time, there's a

1208
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: way to embrace the simplicity that actually can make your

1209
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: life easier. It's true, Like it's like the thing where

1210
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: you think you think the other person is five steps

1211
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: ahead and you're over analyzing texts. It's so liberating to

1212
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: be like, actually, he's probably not that smart. Yeah, and

1213
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: even you know the headset stuff. It's just like guys

1214
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: are gonna some guys like video games, and that's just

1215
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: you can't you can't fight it. If that's a deal breaker,

1216
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: then that's a deal breaker. And it's good that you

1217
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: know that about yourself. But it's like I often find that,

1218
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, we make fun of eight things on this podcast.

1219
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: We are guilty of it, but you know, it's just

1220
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: person to person, and someone that's really into gaming can

1221
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: actually be a great boyfriend and some my God, gives

1222
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: it all, could be a horrible boyfriend. I do think

1223
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: one of the central tensions of this podcast is that

1224
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you actually worship straight culture. I don't worship straight I know,

1225
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I know. Oh, this is our last this is our

1226
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: last question. And in fact, oh no, I was about

1227
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: to say it's the last question that was sent, but

1228
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: that is not true because there are other ones that

1229
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: we have to cut. Okay, Sam take it away. Okay,

Speaker 1: and there you go. Um, what do you have an

1241
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: answer to this? For me, it's when Harry met Sally who.

1242
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that movie fucking got me and I was surprised,

1243
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,480
Speaker 1: like she is a big rom com head, and I've

1244
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 1: been learning more about the genres and stating him and um,

1245
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 1: that one really like you're it's one of those movies

1246
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: where you're watching it and you're like, yeah, yeah, this

1247
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: is I get it. They're going through all the tropes

1248
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: of I mean, they invented the tropes of the rom

1249
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,839
Speaker 1: com and then like by the end, I'm fully crying.

1250
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: It like just absolutely got me and I loved it

1251
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: so much. And also I was like, it's nice when

1252
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: you like see like a famous person that you've never

1253
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: really understood what their appeal is, Like Billie Crystal, I

1254
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: was like, who, what is this guy's deal? I've only

1255
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: known him as like kind of an old weirdo, and

1256
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: then to see him there, I'm like, Oh, he's incredible.

1257
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: This movie is great and perfect well wonderful. I was

1258
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 1: thinking of Something's got to Give, which I confuse with

1259
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. So Something's got to give

1260
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: all the time. Something's Gotta Give is Nancy Myers and

1261
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: I and I actually do like it. I recently watched

1262
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it with my family and I and I enjoyed it immensely.

1263
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, do you know what, Here's what

1264
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll say. I think if I had to respond right now,

1265
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: I would say it's Something's got to Give because it's

1266
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: the one I know best. I've seen it the most

1267
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: um and I think it's very charming. I do think

1268
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: it's a little long. I recently watched Private Benjamin for

1269
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: the first time, and I thought it was very funny,

1270
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: but also very long and one that I had been

1271
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: meaning to rewatch that everyone loves and I've only seen

1272
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: when it came out is the Parent Trap. I think

1273
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: that's many people's favorite. Is that Nancy Meyers? Yeah, I

1274
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,799
Speaker 1: did not know that it's many people's favorite, And in fact,

1275
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: it takes place in Napa, and I love Nappa. No,

1276
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: I love Parent Trap. I mean a smash Lindsay Lohan,

1277
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: she's star. I mean, we don't have the time, but yeah,

1278
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: I guess I'll say final answer something. Wait, no, something's

1279
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: gotta give. Yeah, the counter reads is so hot in

1280
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: that movie. Uh. And honestly, I don't I feel like

1281
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I remember thinking Jack Nicholson was hot in that movie classic.

1282
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Um a lot of Jack talk. I I do. That

1283
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: was such a wonderful question, and I don't want to

1284
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: um shade the person who sent it. I am like,

1285
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: it's so random for us to end on favorite Nancy

1286
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Meyers movie. Yeah, but it's also like, well, it's not

1287
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: an ending. It's simply we're hitting pause and we'll be

1288
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: back very soon. Yeah. Wait, we have to talk about

1289
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: we have to conclude a little Okay, So like that

1290
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 1: was the end. That was the end of the earnest

1291
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: of Fananza. Now the end of the break, the end

1292
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: of the earnest is Bonanza, and the end of the

1293
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: first season of Stradio Lab and because it's being released

1294
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 1: the day after Our Lives show, it really is like

1295
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: the last kind of piece of content that's crazy that wow. Um.

1296
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: But but I have to say, like I I really

1297
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: feel I truly feel like it's just the beginning and

1298
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: I am like very excited for um, for what whatever

1299
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: the next chapter will be. I agree. I think I

1300
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: think we're going to come back with such a great

1301
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 1: head on our shoulders and an excitement to do it again,

1302
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: and it's really going to be so fun. And I

1303
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: agree it is. It's been a this has been a

1304
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: like an experiment almost and it's been interesting to see

1305
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: how it's all ebbed and flowed. And I think also

1306
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,440
Speaker 1: there's something about because it was such a pandemic project,

1307
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: there's something about like I realized the pandemic is still

1308
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: ongoing and so please don't, you know, drag me through

1309
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: the mud. But there's all there's almost something like that

1310
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the pandemic can now end for me personally, like it's

1311
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: letting go, and it's letting go a little bit, and

1312
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: like and also frankly, you know, when we're back, we'll

1313
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: probably be back in a studio at least some of

1314
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the time, and it'll it'll it's this us standing in

1315
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: front of a computer, speaking into a microphone, looking at

1316
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: a zoom is just it has defined the last year

1317
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: and a half for us. And like the very specific

1318
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: ways we reach out to people. It's never that we

1319
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: saw them at a show and asked them like it's

1320
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: it's everything is digital, everything is virtual whatever, and it's um,

1321
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: it is kind of the end of that way of

1322
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: doing things. And I think it will only get better

1323
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: and more enjoyable and more interesting. And like I think

1324
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: we now that we have like this array of like

1325
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: inside jokes and references and whatever else to draw from,

1326
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: we can like experiment more. We can do you know

1327
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: kind of maybe we'll do different live shows. It will

1328
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: be somehow, you know, more experimental in some way or whatever.

1329
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. We've been talking. I just want to

1330
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: say for a fully two and a half hour, and

1331
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating, it's actually been exactly two and a

1332
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,520
Speaker 1: half hours. When you when you say it like that,

1333
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: that makes it sound absolutely insane. Um yeah, well damn

1334
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: well then I guess yeah, we're both let's let's stop,

1335
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: let's stop, and and uh, you know this isn't goodbye,

1336
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: This is see you soon. Love you, glamour girls, Love
