Speaker 1: get started with the best of Forever there are. Our
Speaker 1: first podcast up is one that Vulture called quote a scathing, absurdist, intersectional,
Speaker 1: radical feminist alt podcast. It's called A Woman's Smile. It's
Speaker 1: hosted by two of the most innovative performers working in
Speaker 1: comedy right now, Patty Harrison and Laura La Ramirez. And
Speaker 1: the following clip comes from a special futuristic episode of
Speaker 1: the podcast entitled A Woman's Smile is Spaceship. Welcome to
Speaker 1: a woman Smile. Smile Smile with your host Flora Lie
Speaker 1: and Patty. Ha ha ha. This is a year fifty.
Speaker 1: Our consciousness has half been low led into a hard
Speaker 1: driving the sky in the cloud and now we are
Speaker 1: about And now, as Patty says, oh I lookingly, we
Speaker 1: are a robot. I am still the same as I
Speaker 1: was before, still fatch, still big, and still I am
Speaker 1: balding naked naked on the show Welding nakeds at Corney Horney.
Speaker 1: Yes it is really bad, we don't have body, but
Speaker 1: still those things did not change about loyalize consciousness. Apparently
Speaker 1: you can put consciousness in another big fat body, a
Speaker 1: big fat, balding body. Still, when you move on to
Speaker 1: a different form of consciousness, you are the ugliest one.
Speaker 1: Sometimes pain follows you wherever you go. And even in
Speaker 1: my conscious as, people still debate whether I'm a man
Speaker 1: or woman. It is true, and it is actually funny.
Speaker 1: But you bring that up now It hurts because still
Speaker 1: I question you no, no, no, no, yes yes yes
Speaker 1: yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Let's get
Speaker 1: into it. What you have been thinking about? I have
Speaker 1: been thinking about my husband. He is at home in
Speaker 1: my mind, in our consciousness. We live in a chip
Speaker 1: in Marchip. We have an amazing bathroom. Our bathroom has
Speaker 1: two things. I wish I could also have a chip too.
Speaker 1: You'll have a chip soon. You are so much data
Speaker 1: you don't fit in a chip. They do not yet
Speaker 1: to make a chip pick enough to hold all your data.
Speaker 1: This is not fair. I uploaded my consciousness or I
Speaker 1: could be free of my body, ha ha. But now
Speaker 1: I am still in my body, still being infatunately. Why
Speaker 1: let's talk about something else. So Lorla, what have you
Speaker 1: been thinking about? I have been thinking about maybe one day.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no, oh no no no no, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I have been thinking about how beautifully would be one
Speaker 1: day to finally have it is so made. I think
Speaker 1: that you are a wonderful mind, in person or alive.
Speaker 1: I think it will happen for you. Thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. I think that when you put yourself out there,
Speaker 1: it really does make all the difference. People need an
Speaker 1: allarial ill. I am sorry. I my consciousness is getting
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger by the second. That is okay.
Speaker 1: You should demonstrate self control. You should demonstrate self control.
Speaker 1: I had. My favorite things to do is sit on
Speaker 1: the pot inside my hip antick big ones. That is
Speaker 1: funny to me, ha ha, But he's funny to me. Ha.
Speaker 1: Remember when we used to be in our bodies and
Speaker 1: I would go over to your husband when he was
Speaker 1: broken and I would take care of him. Yes, And
Speaker 1: I took my dance class. My dance class was an
Speaker 1: amazing place where I bonded with many women to look
Speaker 1: like me. They were just like me. They were white,
Speaker 1: they were five nine, they were one ten, pounds. They
Speaker 1: were thin like me. They loved to dance to hip
Speaker 1: hop tracks contemporary music at the time. Like Charlie Xi Egs,
Speaker 1: you sound sad when you talk about those things. Your
Speaker 1: sound sad. I am not. I am not Zack. I
Speaker 1: look back for me at those tastes, at my dance
Speaker 1: class with my white girlies, my skinny white girls. We
Speaker 1: chained skinny white Cline after skinny bitch Whine was my baby.
Speaker 1: I know you missed that life we had, but this
Speaker 1: is for the better. Now now now I you are
Speaker 1: you having a long room. This next clip comes from

Speaker 1: have altered the fabric of space and time. In Beyond,
Speaker 1: self proclaimed energy expert Mike Kelton seeks to solve his
Speaker 1: and his friends real life problems by supernatural means. Instead
Speaker 1: of going to a therapist, Mike goes to mediums, ghost hunters,
Speaker 1: cult leaders, healers, astrologers, and in this clip a which
Speaker 1: this is from the episode entitled Witchcraft the goat Head,
Speaker 1: and it features Mike's friend Lisa p from The Bronx
Speaker 1: consulting a witch about the dark energy surrounding her boyfriends.
Speaker 1: X So I go on the trip. I didn't say
Speaker 1: anything like, I don't know. I never cried, I didn't
Speaker 1: shed it tear. I was just like, Okay, come back
Speaker 1: and I'm like what now. So I go back to
Speaker 1: her again, and you know, she went through it again,
Speaker 1: said she's not pregnant, she's not pregnant, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, what can I do to like
Speaker 1: make this stop? Like she's like a menace. She this
Speaker 1: woman is a menace. She's menacing my life, like I
Speaker 1: can't go on, Like I can't do it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: break up with him. But then there's a competitive side
Speaker 1: of me that's also like down with this bitch. God
Speaker 1: so Rah and was like, oh well, I said, well,
Speaker 1: can I light up like a candle in my apartment
Speaker 1: and you know, do something or there's different remedies and
Speaker 1: different types of cleanses, and she was like, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: m m for this, you need to do something big. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a revocationation. Yeah, o Spanish, it's a revocation. So
Speaker 1: I had to do a revocation. So I was like whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm down down like what she made me. I had
Speaker 1: to bring a photo of this individual. And she said, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to work on it for seven days. Most
Speaker 1: things in this tradition or in the numbers of three,
Speaker 1: seven or twenty one, so I think she had to
Speaker 1: work on it for seven days. Then I had to
Speaker 1: come pick up the finished product on a Monday, because
Speaker 1: this is the day of the guardian of the cemetery.
Speaker 1: Give us what happens when you show up after the
Speaker 1: seven days on the Monday. What's what goes down? She
Speaker 1: went into the kitchen into the freezer and pulled out
Speaker 1: a plastic bag that was, you know, the size of
Speaker 1: like a bread basket. Um. And she hands me like
Speaker 1: a frozen goathead. So in the goat heads, mal in
Speaker 1: the goats, hold on. She gives you the goath heead.
Speaker 1: What is your first thought? Sometimes when you go into
Speaker 1: these types of places, there's just the way that I am.
Speaker 1: Even sometimes in certain churches, I feel like currents. The
Speaker 1: spanishes like corients, you know, like currents. It feel it
Speaker 1: felt very um ritualistic. It felt very spiritual. With the goad.
Speaker 1: I was like inflow. I wasn't like, what is this?
Speaker 1: Oh my god laughing. I'm all in and this is
Speaker 1: part of it that makes sense to me, as you
Speaker 1: have to be. If you're on a person's kitchen in
Speaker 1: Washington nights and getting a goat heead, you gotta be
Speaker 1: all in it. I was all in. It gets crazier.
Speaker 1: I mean, she didn't tell us what she did, but
Speaker 1: my friend who was with us, she you know, again
Speaker 1: as the person who introduced me to Mina, and she
Speaker 1: was like, oh, look, you know, there's coffee grounds in
Speaker 1: the mouth. The picture was rolled up and stuffed and
Speaker 1: my friend told me, She's like, this is all to
Speaker 1: shut her up. This is to get her to shut up,
Speaker 1: and there were other things. I'm sure that we're done
Speaker 1: as well. So we had to take the goathhead and
Speaker 1: bury it in a cemetery that night. It has to
Speaker 1: be done on a Monday, had to be done, and
Speaker 1: this was already like six o'clock and this is December,
Speaker 1: so it's pick it's pitch dark. It's pitch dark. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the only cemeteries that are in northern Manhattan are
Speaker 1: completely gated off at this point and locked, and they
Speaker 1: have cameras on them, and people get arrested for trying
Speaker 1: to go in there because more people do this than
Speaker 1: you think. For example, if you were to look up
Speaker 1: goatheads in Prospect Park, you will find so many stories
Speaker 1: about what has been going on with goatheads in Prospects
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yes, So of course we had to
Speaker 1: research this and guess what, everyone it absolutely checks out.
Speaker 1: There are so many articles about goatheads in Prospect Park
Speaker 1: and also many other parks in the Tri state area,
Speaker 1: and we will include those links in the description of
Speaker 1: this podcast for some light fun reading after you finished
Speaker 1: the app We've been huge fans of this next podcast
Speaker 1: for a long time, so we were very honored when
Speaker 1: they joined Forever Dog This year. It's black Men Can't
Speaker 1: Jump in Hollywood, hosted by Jera Milligan, James the Third,
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Braylock. One of the best movie review podcasts
Speaker 1: out there, Black Man Can't Jump was selected for best
Speaker 1: of lists from the A V Club, Vulture, and Relevant
Speaker 1: and the following clip comes from their award winning episode
Speaker 1: on the film Black Panther. If people are into Marvel,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like you know, when Infinity War comes,
Speaker 1: like characters have to die, and like usually they'll kill
Speaker 1: characters that are more secondary and like, I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: if one of these people die, like Ben set legitimately
Speaker 1: sad and upset because we really came to grow and
Speaker 1: love all of it. Quit so much so that I
Speaker 1: would say, like my only grand with this movie was
Speaker 1: I was so sad that Michael P. Jordan had to die,
Speaker 1: even though I know he did, I don't think he did. Man.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's this dude was amazing, and you set
Speaker 1: it up so that he didn't have to die. You
Speaker 1: set up the lot the internalizing in the film so
Speaker 1: that they could have staved in with the science. And like,
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be like, um, lowkey. I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be lokey. I'm very way that
Speaker 1: he yes, yes, the lines how he got perfect that
Speaker 1: was so and it makes sense, it makes sense. It
Speaker 1: makes like I didn't want him to die either. And
Speaker 1: then he said that line was like this is perfect.
Speaker 1: Same here and he just and he just did it.
Speaker 1: Like but also, yo, this movie so okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: think there's a perfect we can talk about its like
Speaker 1: just to hit on Ryan Coogler real quick, is all
Speaker 1: the times we we have this discussion on whether or
Speaker 1: not a white person can direct a movie about like
Speaker 1: the black experience, right right, And I know sometimes we're
Speaker 1: we're like, we're really polite and we're really like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they can't if they know. But I think the
Speaker 1: nuances that this brother created in this movie, for instance,
Speaker 1: that because he co wrote it so rand Coopy co
Speaker 1: wrote if you don't know that line about uh no,
Speaker 1: so what I can be locked up? No, just throw
Speaker 1: me in the ocean, like my answers is dead. When
Speaker 1: they were jumping off the boats because they knew it
Speaker 1: was better died and be um in prison for the
Speaker 1: rest of your life and something like that. It's like
Speaker 1: bro like every first off everything that freaking um um
Speaker 1: um Sterling K. Brown said at the top of the
Speaker 1: movie about why he wanted this movie isn't about like
Speaker 1: it's about like the world, but it's really about like ideology, like, Yo,
Speaker 1: I've seen black people, butcher, I've seen people view them
Speaker 1: and we have a chance to make them strong and
Speaker 1: powerful and we're not. That is literally what the conflict
Speaker 1: of this movie is. Do you help you? What are
Speaker 1: you doing? Why are we saving our are we just
Speaker 1: going to hoard and save our resources for It's so
Speaker 1: funny like A's like somebody who's Christian that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of spiritual the whole time the whole movie. I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about that so much, like this idea
Speaker 1: of like, you know, there's a that verson but when
Speaker 1: there's a song like don't uh if you have a light,
Speaker 1: don't hide it under a bus show like go let
Speaker 1: it shine on the top of the mountain, right like
Speaker 1: let me let your little lights shine. That's the song.
Speaker 1: Like the idea is that if you have a light,
Speaker 1: don't hide it and use it for yourself. You should
Speaker 1: let it shine so others can see the light. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Wakanda is. It's like this bright, shining
Speaker 1: city in the center, in the heart of Africa that
Speaker 1: has kept hidden. And the main conflict in theme in
Speaker 1: this movie is like, are we gonna keep this hidden
Speaker 1: for ourselves or do we have a responsibility to the
Speaker 1: rest of the world, especially the rest of people of
Speaker 1: color in these in these nations surrounding nations that are
Speaker 1: suffering and that we know we could help, and we're
Speaker 1: not helping to protect ourselves. You know, no, trust of
Speaker 1: the movie. It's not some giant invader trying to take
Speaker 1: over the world. I mean, I guess it kind of is.
Speaker 1: I mean, not an invader, but it's like something that's
Speaker 1: so real to black people. I'm want to thread right
Speaker 1: now my boys from back home and it's like ten
Speaker 1: of us on this thread. And literally the whole discussion
Speaker 1: has been since Trump has been in office, especially this
Speaker 1: year in particular, um of what can people of color
Speaker 1: do to help? More like what basically like what should
Speaker 1: we be doing, Like we know we gotta do something,
Speaker 1: like yeah, we can vote, and we have been voting,
Speaker 1: but it's more right, and the whole movie, the idea
Speaker 1: behind the movies like what else, what do we do?
Speaker 1: And I thought that was just a genius way to
Speaker 1: do it. It made it more grounded to me than
Speaker 1: most superhero movies are because it was something that was,
Speaker 1: uh like, something that people can relate to. And also
Speaker 1: we still had a villain. I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of times it's a black superhero, he's fighting like the
Speaker 1: crime boss or the drug dealer on the block or
Speaker 1: something like that. Whereas this he still had a true villain.
Speaker 1: Um he also had something that just meant something personal,
Speaker 1: you know. And then Ryan Coogler again, Ryan Coogler has
Speaker 1: three movies all have over nine pcent a round tomatoes
Speaker 1: and you know, not hate cooling Ryan Tomatoes. But to
Speaker 1: go from food Vale Station which was set in Oakland,
Speaker 1: which he added this character back in Oakland, and I
Speaker 1: feel like he did it on purpose, but that's just me,
Speaker 1: Like he had that movie to go from to Creed.
Speaker 1: It's like this young black man, like young young black
Speaker 1: man has now changed the way a lot of black
Speaker 1: people even view themselves. And I'm like, and he wasn't rich,
Speaker 1: Like this wasn't a rich black brother like he he
Speaker 1: is from Oakland, like he grew up with not that
Speaker 1: much and like my mad he like that is the
Speaker 1: American dream. If you want to be real, he aspired.
Speaker 1: He yo, my man would not only aspire black people
Speaker 1: around this country. He's gon inspired like mad people. He's
Speaker 1: also he's desiring filmmaker. Yeah, it's like a great filmmaker.
Speaker 1: Just this past week, we sadly said goodbye to one
Speaker 1: of the original Forever Dog podcasts, one of our all
Speaker 1: time phase, the Book of Ya, hosted by Rob Hayes
Speaker 1: and Chris Daniels. For the past two and a half years,
Speaker 1: Rob and Chris have been journeying through the Kanye West
Speaker 1: cannon song by song, will also trying to make sense
Speaker 1: of every twist and turn of Kanye's career. Even though
Speaker 1: the podcast is over, the Book of You leaves behind
Speaker 1: an incredible back catalog of episodes that are well worth revisiting,
Speaker 1: including so many great moments. In particular, Robin Chris were
Speaker 1: really at their best when they were unpacking the controversial
Speaker 1: and problem public lives of our most iconic pop stars,
Speaker 1: whether it be Kanye himself, were in this clip from
Speaker 1: the episode Hell of a Life with guests Gordon Baker, Bone, Lord,
Speaker 1: don't pull a Lord were talking about. We're not talking
Speaker 1: about We're not gonna talk about why alright, alright co
Speaker 1: apology tweets ready, definitely, I'm sorry sorry Mr Jay talking
Speaker 1: about he apologized to the joker. She'll never be a
Speaker 1: word as far as wait, but don't like Lord because
Speaker 1: when she said she posted a picture of bathtub, we'll
Speaker 1: always love me. How's that an accident? That is not accident?
Speaker 1: That is not an accident? No body guard, man ain't
Speaker 1: no bathtub. Anybody goes what is got to pull that
Speaker 1: for it? I don't know. Bad coincidence, that's not bad. No,
Speaker 1: I'm on your side now, Rob, Yeah, you can't. You
Speaker 1: think she blatantly went out she was always loved you
Speaker 1: in a picture of a bathtub. That's a brick shot.
Speaker 1: She always take a bath. Okay, scrub it up and
Speaker 1: then tell it's a good cow. No, it's not. Nobody.
Speaker 1: Nobody sings that. Nobody's got rubbed dub dub playing How old?
Speaker 1: How old is Lord? She old enough not to know
Speaker 1: to do that? So you have Wikipedia? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: enough to have Google. Why would she be on the
Speaker 1: laptop in the tub. She I recommend it. See what happens.
Speaker 1: Could be on a blueberry, on a BlackBerry in the tub.
Speaker 1: She could be on the laptop. She gott have a
Speaker 1: laptop to the side. I don't understand. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why she did that? If how is that not an accident?
Speaker 1: And the tubs all the way from you? You know
Speaker 1: you're saying it's not an accident. Yeah, so I'm asking
Speaker 1: you how actually make an accident with that? Come on,
Speaker 1: you say it's the wrong line. Girl, want to take
Speaker 1: a path? It makes you know what I say, it's
Speaker 1: ex because it makes no sense for not to be
Speaker 1: what First of all? First of all, First of all,
Speaker 1: Lord is one of them dark people here in front
Speaker 1: of the face which is in the video. First of all,
Speaker 1: so to make a joke or a reference to how
Speaker 1: somebody died doesn't seem off for her. Second of all,
Speaker 1: because girl who falling out of the well, I will
Speaker 1: always love you. Now two eyes might have been Dolly Parton,
Speaker 1: but we all know only Whitney Houston can pull off
Speaker 1: that third consecutive eye. What is what is the song about?
Speaker 1: What is the song about? Kevin Costner? Yeah, it's about her?
Speaker 1: What hurt. The song is about love. The girl loves
Speaker 1: taking back now getting get out of it? What are
Speaker 1: you serious going on? What is wrong with you? First
Speaker 1: of all, I hate you for making me like defend
Speaker 1: Lords at the front of the keeping at the front
Speaker 1: of the podcast. No scrat that. I hate that. I'm
Speaker 1: going equally. It's hired for Finaliathan Lord and say forty
Speaker 1: minutes she just loves baths and she was singing her,
Speaker 1: she was professing her. I don't the only professing. I'm
Speaker 1: only going to her because y'all going to her unnecessarily.
Speaker 1: It makes it makes no sense. It makes no sense
Speaker 1: to be mad because you know, but you're saying. You're
Speaker 1: saying that, you're saying it was bad intent behind it
Speaker 1: or funny, and it was probably should trying to be funny.
Speaker 1: That's the worst joke, Evin, it is. That's one they
Speaker 1: had to get out. They got on Netflix special you
Speaker 1: gotta show me the president of Lord making jokes about
Speaker 1: dead people. That's what made this upsetting, not surprising, but
Speaker 1: upsetting because Lord was like somebody that we never have
Speaker 1: a problem with, you know what I'm saying. Lord was
Speaker 1: the only white person this year nominated for Best album
Speaker 1: Album of the Year. And she didn't say nothing crazy.
Speaker 1: She ain't had no crazy captions Like we was cool
Speaker 1: with Lord. You know what I'm saying, Well, you've got
Speaker 1: a ledger keeping up with Lord. What I'm saying is saying,
Speaker 1: prior to this, we've never had an issue with Lord.
Speaker 1: But now I'm looking at Lord like, all right, now, Lord,
Speaker 1: you know your name is Lord. It already makes me
Speaker 1: feel funny saying that it has an E on it.
Speaker 1: But when you say you came here there, whose father
Speaker 1: is that? Likence? Lordy? I'm just saying, Lordy, how Lord
Speaker 1: can speak on Whitney Houston. But now Lord, you think
Speaker 1: she got a career in her name is Lordy? Lordy
Speaker 1: is the one who was singing rubber Dub Dub. I
Speaker 1: definitely would never say her name and name is Lordy.
Speaker 1: Y'all listen to that new Lordy, lord Lordy cool Glord
Speaker 1: Lord Day. I call the Lord Lordy sound like a
Speaker 1: SoundCloud rapper that I don't know about cancel because they'd
Speaker 1: be like some and someone is canceled, then they just
Speaker 1: be selling all the records. So we ain't gonna cancel her,
Speaker 1: but we're just gonna put it to the side. You
Speaker 1: ain't stopping Lord from selling record, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: listen no more, especially after that. Man, we gotta be
Speaker 1: secretive because you know, Spotify don't like to count stuff
Speaker 1: when people organized to too loudly. The next time something
Speaker 1: Lord come out, we're all gonna bringe group. I ain't
Speaker 1: see that many people get upset about this. I saw
Speaker 1: every the context that I was presented. Look at this
Speaker 1: mistake Lord made, not y'all like y'all see what the
Speaker 1: funk Lord did. Like see the kind of stuff that
Speaker 1: they that they got you saying, because her name is
Speaker 1: the mistake that Lord made. It's the sentence you just said.
Speaker 1: Because her name is Lord, I'm gonna find out her
Speaker 1: real name. That's what I'm gonna do. What his Lord? Lord? Mate,
Speaker 1: that's better than Lord. What were you over inen? What
Speaker 1: were you sick of? What were you done with? That's
Speaker 1: the question that Derek Hats and Betsy Kenny put to
Speaker 1: their guests every week. Undone, named one of the best
Speaker 1: new podcasts by Refinery Done, features some truly cathartic moments,
Speaker 1: like this one from the episode Natural Beauty Products Marfa
Speaker 1: Texas and Whimsy Oh My God, So, Darren, I just
Speaker 1: got back from a trip and I ripped one on
Speaker 1: the point. I'm so sorry. Oh and this was allable,
Speaker 1: This was Boing seven seven. This was like a tiny one,
Speaker 1: like the pilot was right in front of me, and
Speaker 1: like one family was flying it with us. And I
Speaker 1: was trying to cover your ass because the dad I
Speaker 1: knew was unto you. He knew you ripped one. Now wait,
Speaker 1: so I did it, and it was truly so loud
Speaker 1: and said that like a wocause you're kind. And when
Speaker 1: I couldn'top laving the text are it was right before
Speaker 1: we when I didn't hear it, it smelled like it
Speaker 1: smelled like we all together fall into a drainage was
Speaker 1: coming for us, coming that had come, and now we
Speaker 1: were rotting in it and there were worms. It was
Speaker 1: a small jeff, it wasna We truly couldn't stop laughing.
Speaker 1: And right before that we were taking so many pictures,
Speaker 1: like on the tarmac because it was truly one of
Speaker 1: those planes. And the guy, this guy was so mad
Speaker 1: and he didn't know why he goes this isn't a
Speaker 1: place for fun. And then we were like he got
Speaker 1: on the plane, I'm like shipping my pants. But it's
Speaker 1: just air. I mean this, We're never allowed back. No,
Speaker 1: that dad, because that dad had two daughters sitting in
Speaker 1: front of him, who you thought were cute, I thought
Speaker 1: were obnoxious, and I was going to yell at their asses,
Speaker 1: but then you you let that far go and I couldn't.
Speaker 1: You took away any leverage I had for the rest
Speaker 1: of the flight, and then we couldn't stop laughing about
Speaker 1: Far And it's truly gross. It's it's immature. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not funny. Okay, fine, uh all right. When this next
Speaker 1: podcast joined Forever Dog for season three of their absolutely

Speaker 1: what we like to read and who we like to
Speaker 1: read frand just fell out of it. So recovering from
Speaker 1: that bone chilling lass like waking up the souls of
Speaker 1: thousands of thoughts of yesteryear sex, summoning them like it's
Speaker 1: some fucking it's It's like slutty Pandora's Box, just unleashing
Speaker 1: all these slutty demons thought where every day is cheat Day.
Speaker 1: I'm Tommy Tieves Peeko. I'm an Indigenous American poet, screenwriter,

Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, proving once and for all four books and
Speaker 1: four years, i am in fact that bench. Yes, who
Speaker 1: are I'm Fran I'm a writer editor, and my drag
Speaker 1: queen name is Virginia Slim, but my drag king name
Speaker 1: is Girth Brooks. O. My god, I believe you're straight straight? Yes,
Speaker 1: it takes up. It's been three seasons. I've been straight
Speaker 1: the whole time. What if that was actually the rumors?
Speaker 1: A twist lives for the drama Mom I have never
Speaker 1: seen you suck dick personally, so who knows? And I
Speaker 1: am Joseph Osins. Obviously you did not get that my
Speaker 1: public says, are doing a great job. That's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: A side just nonfiction writer, total top as always and
Speaker 1: the food for thought originator of sticking out your tongue
Speaker 1: in pictures. Oh my god, that's not true. True I
Speaker 1: did at first. Um and hi guys, I'm back, Denis Reader, writer,
Speaker 1: former figure skater, and it is my life's work to
Speaker 1: work Michelle Kwan into every conversation. You're doing a great chat, sweetie,
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job. Plus, dear reader, let's replay
Speaker 1: that a Dennis's intro with the context that we have
Speaker 1: deemed Dennis with the effect of a YouTuber, a white YouTuber,
Speaker 1: a white like makeup tutorial YouTuber that's like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: how's it guy? And this is my unboxing video? So
Speaker 1: tired you guys, Let's do this anyway? I said, you can.
Speaker 1: You can take the Becky out of the valley, but
Speaker 1: you can't take the valley out of it. That is
Speaker 1: an uncanny valley. Who wants to tell us what we
Speaker 1: got on the menu this week? Got it everybody this week,
Speaker 1: all of us fuck Rihanna. We give good advice from
Speaker 1: at least one doctor. It's me. We conclusively decide that
Speaker 1: Mimi isn't it Eva not anymore? Fuck you, Fran, and
Speaker 1: we knock on the window pane of one of the
Speaker 1: greatest persons of all time, Take it away. I'm feeling
Speaker 1: a little peckish. Starts the top of this show the
Speaker 1: way any good time should with the little teas are
Speaker 1: a vororious appetizer segment, amuse bouche and to amuse our bouches. Today,
Speaker 1: Fran got a little game for us. That's right. So
Speaker 1: the theme of today's episode is Diva, so it only
Speaker 1: makes sense to gamify the meat of this episode with
Speaker 1: a healthy little helping of bone block Bench. It's going
Speaker 1: to copy I know, right, Diva's edition. So if you're
Speaker 1: not familiar with our game, which we coined and created
Speaker 1: a very originally, bone block Bench is pretty much the
Speaker 1: exact same thing as Mary fu kill Um, but thoughtified.
Speaker 1: So bone means like you need them, You've gotta have them,
Speaker 1: like even if it's just for one night, Like you're
Speaker 1: just gonna suck their brains out, Bench, just like you
Speaker 1: want to like you you're gonna put them on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: like maybe you want to play the long game with them,
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't mean like they're out of your life forever,
Speaker 1: but like you want to put them on the bench
Speaker 1: and block is like what happens after all of Joe's
Speaker 1: tender matches go on one date, I'm bone bone bone
Speaker 1: and they're um And so another disclaimer here, I will
Speaker 1: not be playing softball. There are no easy there are
Speaker 1: no easy balls that I will be throwing today. I'm
Speaker 1: see you guys later. And there have been too many
Speaker 1: entre Dan gil and Eric do Dorrian have been through
Speaker 1: it all on their podcast, Groomzilla's. They've planned their weddings,
Speaker 1: they've gotten married, they've watched the Dodgers lose two consecutive
Speaker 1: World series, and they've talked to tons of amazing guests
Speaker 1: about love, marriage, and the whole damn thing. The following
Speaker 1: clip comes from Dan and Eric's live stream of one
Speaker 1: of most memorable events, the royal wedding of Megan Markel
Speaker 1: and Prince Harry, recorded simultaneously in l a and Baltimore
Speaker 1: in the wee hours of the morning. Here they are
Speaker 1: the Groomzilla's and for taking all others. Be faithful to him.
Speaker 1: As long as you both shovel it, I will nailed it.
Speaker 1: M and with you is going faster than I thought
Speaker 1: it would. Harry and Yeah, they want to get this
Speaker 1: show on the road and uphold them in their marriage
Speaker 1: now and in the years to come. We will as
Speaker 1: I will stand. Let us pray for Harry and Megan. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray for Harry and Megan with them. Are
Speaker 1: you praying? No, I don't believe in God, God, our Father.
Speaker 1: In the beginning, you have blessed creation with abundant life.
Speaker 1: Pour out your blessings upon Harriet and Megan joined in
Speaker 1: mutual love and companionship and commitment to each other. He's
Speaker 1: got his phone. Hid asked him this through our Lord
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, your son who is alive and reigns with
Speaker 1: you the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now
Speaker 1: and forever. Ah. That was a strong prayer. Judging from
Speaker 1: the way Harry has been acting. I think the edible
Speaker 1: hit about halfway down the aisle when he was walking
Speaker 1: with William and I think you're really starting to swing
Speaker 1: now and says to me, going on, my love, come away,
Speaker 1: look at British. Who is this reading is over and gone?
Speaker 1: Looks mom, the time of singing has come. That's Camilla's mom.
Speaker 1: It looks like, isn't it. They all look the same
Speaker 1: to me. Honestly. The fig tree puts for kits fixed
Speaker 1: and the vines are in blossom. That's why it's a
Speaker 1: big deal in the family. My love, my fair one,
Speaker 1: and come around, figs set me as a seal upon
Speaker 1: your heart, as a seal upon your arm is flies
Speaker 1: right now? Totally, it's so hard, so hard, many waters.
Speaker 1: Is he wearing the Nazi uniform underneath his uniform? Do
Speaker 1: you think he still has it? No? I don't think
Speaker 1: he does. One's house, but he did at one point.
Speaker 1: I like, I like sitting down. Who is this broad
Speaker 1: talking about floods and figs? Man? This is bumming me out. Um,
Speaker 1: that was Harry's first was Harry's first girlfriend? I hear
Speaker 1: where that whoever? That was just terrified her. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: seal gonna sing? Or what seal is going to sing?
Speaker 1: He was doing two songs. I believe he's only got one.
Speaker 1: Does this remind you of the wedding from Love? Actually
Speaker 1: at all? This part kind of does, doesn't it the choir,
Speaker 1: they is there choirs in love actually the boy quire Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the first wedding, Oh,
Speaker 1: when they're saying all you need is love with the trombones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh come on, what one anywhere? And maybe it's just
Speaker 1: like it's just it's just so much and it's like
Speaker 1: fun and everything, but it's you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: this is them. I just that's the feeling overall, you know,
Speaker 1: I can't shake. But all this wedding as you know,
Speaker 1: this is them, they like Heaven George and them all there.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but I mean all the part I mean,
Speaker 1: I think they want to get rid of I want
Speaker 1: to get they want to get home with it. They
Speaker 1: want to just be married. I feel like I bet
Speaker 1: to work. I bet George isn't even like focused on
Speaker 1: the wedding right now, because he's probably a crunching numbers
Speaker 1: for his cosam Egos tequila. George Clooney seeing seeing what
Speaker 1: what the quarter is shaping up to be for his
Speaker 1: cosam Egos tequila. Well, he's got one. He's always got one. Month.
Speaker 1: Part of his mind is always back at his layer
Speaker 1: in what a Lake Cuomo. Part of him is always
Speaker 1: a Lake Cuomo. He's not fully anywhere. You could tell
Speaker 1: his acting Wow shots fired. He's always back at his
Speaker 1: half half part of him is always back at Lake Cuomo,
Speaker 1: where him and his colleagues are working on tequila that
Speaker 1: is creatively and professionally greater than any to get. Look
Speaker 1: at these idiots, look at cosamigos. In a crowded landscape
Speaker 1: of character based improv podcasts, Hampton High has quickly become
Speaker 1: a world unto itself. That's what the A V Club
Speaker 1: had to say about this next podcast, and we couldnot
Speaker 1: agree more. Hampton High is created by and stars Tim
Speaker 1: Platt as high school junior Hampton mclvey, whose quest to
Speaker 1: become the Mark Maron of Rockville Prep by interviewing students
Speaker 1: and faculty of interest leads him down some very strange paths.
Speaker 1: The following clip is from Hampton's interview with theater kid
Speaker 1: Meetra played by guest Metrahi. This is interesting. We have
Speaker 1: more uncommon than people who have thought, who are looking
Speaker 1: at our different social circles. And that's why I like
Speaker 1: this podcast, and I think that's kind of the amazing
Speaker 1: thing about our school is people are pretty open minded
Speaker 1: connecting with people from other social groups. It's definitely true
Speaker 1: ghost skuts truly. Um. Okay, so I wanted to ask you,
Speaker 1: So you do these roles, you do these behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff, but like, I mean, let's be brass acts here,
Speaker 1: Like where's this gonna go? This is your career. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, now that I'm sevent I've kind of come
Speaker 1: to terms with the fact that there are people who
Speaker 1: are made for this stuff and there are people who
Speaker 1: just love it and aren't necessarily going to get paid
Speaker 1: to do it. And I think I'm the latter rather
Speaker 1: than the former. Uh So, one thing I realized about
Speaker 1: myself recently is that I'm actually really amazing at math Um.
Speaker 1: I've known that for a long time, but I haven't
Speaker 1: really thrown myself into it. But I've been sending more
Speaker 1: and more time thinking about it, and I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to school for accounting. I just have to
Speaker 1: be realistic with myself. I'm great at math I love
Speaker 1: the idea of helping people shape their you know, take
Speaker 1: care of their lives in a way that is responsible
Speaker 1: and pragmatic. So I'm going to study accounting and just
Speaker 1: sort of see where that takes me, and maybe I
Speaker 1: can marry the two at some point, but mostly I
Speaker 1: just want to get into the numbers and see what happens. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was the sound of a pin dropping. Um okay.
Speaker 1: But like if you get a big role next year
Speaker 1: in the play, then like maybe that will be your
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, are you only saying
Speaker 1: that because you haven't had a huge role yet? You know? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, of course it would be an honor and
Speaker 1: I would take it incredibly seriously if I were to
Speaker 1: receive a huge role. But when you think about like
Speaker 1: the graces or you know, the like Evan Harper's of
Speaker 1: the show, I mean of the school. Um, I'm not
Speaker 1: one of those people. Those people just radiate a magnetic
Speaker 1: energy that makes you want to watch everything they do,
Speaker 1: and I just don't think I'm not and I'm okay
Speaker 1: with that. Um okay. It's just like one of those
Speaker 1: chicken things where you're like saying like you're insulting yourself
Speaker 1: so other people will be like, oh, no, you're actually
Speaker 1: actually great, you know know, I mean, like are you saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to be accountant, So like I'll be like,
Speaker 1: oh no, you should actually need theater. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean a chicken thing? Yeah, like you know
Speaker 1: how like some you know how some chicks are like,
Speaker 1: oh I look so ugly, and I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 1: You're actually really hot right now. Um I'm not. Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you. That's what I wanted you to say. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know what you mean by a chick thing, but
Speaker 1: it actually hurts my feelings when you say that. That's
Speaker 1: call it a chick thing. But to lie you've never
Speaker 1: told a lie. No, I've obviously to the lie. But
Speaker 1: like what I'm saying, saying a lie a chick thing
Speaker 1: is to lie. No, I'm just no, that's not what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm saying. It's like you saying, oh I
Speaker 1: love the fear, but I want to do something else
Speaker 1: because I'm not that good. It's sort of like when
Speaker 1: a lot of chicks, and this is true, do say
Speaker 1: like I don't look good right now because they want
Speaker 1: the guys so they look good. Don't you think that
Speaker 1: diminishes my goals by saying that I'm lying. I'm actually
Speaker 1: really good at math. I'm great at math. I've always
Speaker 1: gotten a plus is in math. It comes really naturally.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you aren't, but that's not I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you're not good at math. I'm saying that, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you. I want you to know
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, but i just want you
Speaker 1: to know that it's actually pretty destructive of you to
Speaker 1: refer to me saying that I want to pursue accounting
Speaker 1: as a chick thing. When I state my goals, I
Speaker 1: mean them. I'm an intelligent person, I know I yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know that. I'm not saying you're not intelligent. I
Speaker 1: would just like if like a fear role came around
Speaker 1: the corner that change your life. I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: you would probably take that right, I mean so out,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying that I don't think that's going to happen,
Speaker 1: and that I've accepted and embrace and I'm really excited
Speaker 1: about pursuing accounting. I'm not mad at you. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying phrases like chick thing are problematic, and I want
Speaker 1: you to think about the reasons why, because I respect
Speaker 1: you and I think you're capable of better. Hampton. I
Speaker 1: really like you. I mean it, okay, I like you too.
Speaker 1: I feel like i'm walking on a mind fuel right
Speaker 1: now to be perfectly frank, like, I uh, I all,
Speaker 1: I okay, I mean, I'm not, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: to dig this hole. But like, all I'm saying is that,
Speaker 1: like people some I mean all I'm saying that, Like
Speaker 1: people sometimes say you're okay, you're saying what you mean.
Speaker 1: I see you were saying what you mean. A lot
Speaker 1: of people say things that they don't mean, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's tied to their gender. Okay, that is
Speaker 1: the sound of a mind blown a true calm, a legend.

Speaker 1: It just barely got relieved, like the record label when
Speaker 1: the record label went bankrupt two weeks after it came out,
Speaker 1: But it got out there. How did you get your
Speaker 1: first record deal? Like? What was it because of my bologna?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, well that was the first that came out
Speaker 1: on Capitol Records, And like the original bathroom recording literally
Speaker 1: recorded in a bathroom in my college, and Capitol Records
Speaker 1: put it out, uh, and it sold, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of dozen copies. I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: find a copy today, though it's worth like thirty five cents,
Speaker 1: so oh good. I think I might have I might

Speaker 1: word and changing a few, but all right, day fully

Speaker 1: tell us to shut up. In the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 1: how funny your videos were because we're like, uh, we're
Speaker 1: big fans of Buster Keaton and the sight gags were amazing.

Speaker 1: you rights come from. I just listened to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm a comedian. I mean, you're a comedian, but
Speaker 1: you're two things. My brain is split. I just listened

Speaker 1: the wall falls and Buster keat and everyone knows it
Speaker 1: was a real wall right and would have killed him,
Speaker 1: but he got like the best mathematicians in America to like,
Speaker 1: to measure, I didn't have the best mathematicians. I had
Speaker 1: some guy with green hair and a nose wherein going
Speaker 1: yeah it'll be fine. No, no, literally, I mean this
Speaker 1: was not It was not c g I. It was
Speaker 1: a real, literal like barn wall that fell on me,
Speaker 1: barely missing my head. And it wasn't even just would
Speaker 1: they had to reinforce it with steel so it wouldn't
Speaker 1: like torque and like miss the mark. So it was
Speaker 1: just like really really really would have killed me dead
Speaker 1: if I had like moved a few inches either way.
Speaker 1: And I was like, we're doing one take and I'll
Speaker 1: try really hard not to act like I'm scared right now,
Speaker 1: and they can't practice it with the dummies your height
Speaker 1: because because that we're doing the wall with one. But
Speaker 1: your kidding. Please tell me you really had mathematicians. Well
Speaker 1: I think he did some math, but oh my god,
Speaker 1: how many accolades and catchphrase this can one podcast have?

Speaker 1: they're dancing too. They're like, they're all they're doing the routine.
Speaker 1: We we painstakingly, painstakingly practice. I come out. I start
Speaker 1: singing a medley of my original my hits from my
Speaker 1: first album, and it's like a medley, yes, that, but
Speaker 1: it's like in the key of another one of my
Speaker 1: hits and then all in the same key because it
Speaker 1: sets you up for the next song that you're going
Speaker 1: into in the medley. Yeah, it's and this is like
Speaker 1: an amazing medley. Then my outfit also, by the way,
Speaker 1: looks beautiful to describe it. Everyone is like people are
Speaker 1: taking pictures of it, People are taking people of thousands
Speaker 1: of people. Are people describing your outfit as like, yes,
Speaker 1: the gag, slag, say a gag, people are saying gags anything. Well,
Speaker 1: one person actually is screaming a slur, just like one
Speaker 1: person out there over all the screams of adoration, I
Speaker 1: can kind of hear one slur and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: think I know what they're saying it. I think it's
Speaker 1: a slur, and but I'm like, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: focus too much on it. So I'm like I'm like
Speaker 1: focusing on and again, my choreography is slightly less intense
Speaker 1: than the dancers. I can fully focus on dancing and
Speaker 1: I need time to kind of vamp and like can
Speaker 1: stop the points here and there and be like and
Speaker 1: then I point and I'm like and I stopped, and
Speaker 1: there there's also I'm not lip sinking, but there is
Speaker 1: a vocation from the background that has the chorus on it,
Speaker 1: and I'm really yeah, and people are like ah. And
Speaker 1: then I hear I hear like in the distance, I
Speaker 1: hear like you're like, and I'm like, wait, not only
Speaker 1: did I hear a slur, but I think I recognized
Speaker 1: the voice of and I'm so I'm like, we're going
Speaker 1: into my first My first song is actually one off
Speaker 1: the new album, and it's like it's it's a song
Speaker 1: that's like go fast and then so it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: and then it's like images images that correspond with the song.
Speaker 1: So the song is actually about moving on. And then
Speaker 1: so that's going on. And then a spotlight not planned
Speaker 1: a spotlight, I'm like, what is going on? A spotlight
Speaker 1: goes the crowd. We guess who was in the crowd general?
Speaker 1: That was it? That really was because we talked about
Speaker 1: her last time and she's erect she's how it's this time? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she did something she got like sheeni implant, she connect pectomy.
Speaker 1: Pect was to remove the penis, but she got a
Speaker 1: penio implant. She got a penectomy and then got her
Speaker 1: penis removed, and then got a peno past and African
Speaker 1: rhino horn in the place. So actually, when I sit
Speaker 1: with seventeen inches, it's actually closer to four and a
Speaker 1: half feet long. And she's lancing my fans, just like
Speaker 1: lancing my fans in the crowd, like oh, there's like
Speaker 1: a stack of my fans. I'm so sad, I'm crying
Speaker 1: on stage. I'm like, stop the music. But they turned
Speaker 1: my mic off because she did so. She talked to
Speaker 1: the tech people, She talked to the powerful. That's when
Speaker 1: I realized that she talked to the tech people ahead
Speaker 1: of time, and that is not That was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god. And still the music, this is bigger than
Speaker 1: And then there's a part in the music where all
Speaker 1: the percussion drops and it's just like it's like it's
Speaker 1: like this arpeggio of like harp. It's a beautiful part
Speaker 1: of the song. And I'm like, Ellen, get out of here.
Speaker 1: And she comes up on stage does a flip with
Speaker 1: still about six of my fans stacked on her horn,
Speaker 1: does a flip. The centrifugal force of the flip flings
Speaker 1: the fans at me off of like and she's about
Speaker 1: she's flipping probably like twenty feet up in the air.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's insane she can get that high. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, it's like a fool and it's like it's
Speaker 1: a really fast rotation. Don't but all the fans ad
Speaker 1: fans have come towards you. They smack into me, knocked
Speaker 1: me down in my big platform. She's break embarrassing, so
Speaker 1: embarrassing concert. Yeah. Jennifer Bowman, who's our costumer, she's like
Speaker 1: made those shoes herself, like special and so she, huh
Speaker 1: did she get out of the arena? Jenna for Bowman
Speaker 1: doesn't come to my shows because we have a bad
Speaker 1: relationshow so then so that's the whole thing. And then
Speaker 1: um so then by that time you're knocked out and
Speaker 1: the fans, I guess are long dead by now, yeah,
Speaker 1: at least several like six and maybe something that got
Speaker 1: injured in the and they're like they're all mad. They're like,
Speaker 1: this is not what we came here to see. So
Speaker 1: now I'm here to see petty Man. But at this
Speaker 1: point they've all turned because they're mad, and they're all
Speaker 1: saying tranny. Oh you tranny, And I said stop it,
Speaker 1: stop it. And then that's when Ellen turns to me
Speaker 1: and guess what she fucking says, No what I guess
Speaker 1: what she says. She says, you are a bit And
Speaker 1: my heartbreaks because I believe it and it's Ellen. It's Ellen,
Speaker 1: and it's not hero of mine. In that moment, like
Speaker 1: she's gotten every wants to turn on you. They obviously
Speaker 1: have taken sides other even though they've killed probably some
Speaker 1: of the people that they know. Yeah, they start killing.
Speaker 1: I mean, fans are so mad, screaming tranny. They start
Speaker 1: killing each other, killing each other, just so you know,
Speaker 1: just so you know. At the at my tours, all
Speaker 1: my fans are siss because I won't let trans people
Speaker 1: because I don't like trans people. I'm a tur and
Speaker 1: it's a it's turf's only. Yeah, Turf's only for them
Speaker 1: who aren't with it. And they're all and they're all straight, beautiful,
Speaker 1: straight beautiful, yeah, straight, beautiful, gorgeous. They're saying tranny. But
Speaker 1: also Ellen, I remember originated the pronunciation tranny tronni yes
Speaker 1: with with an H and two ends the R O
Speaker 1: N n E. I try and she's like, Hey, you
Speaker 1: know why I say it that way? And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh why, oh in this night, couldn't get any worse.
Speaker 1: And she's like, because it's a play on pronunciation of
Speaker 1: the Vietnamese language, because I know you're Vietnamese. To you,
Speaker 1: Tranny just just cuts deeper, twist the knife. She fucking
Speaker 1: she fucking puts that knife screw drive, electric screwdriver. She's
Speaker 1: more than just twisting the knife. I am. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: really went there. That's and that's a gorgeous tour and
Speaker 1: that is literally just Stockholm where the tour starts. That's
Speaker 1: literally just the first leg of the tour. And talk
Speaker 1: about why Stockholm? Why is that meaningful? Rich culture, a
Speaker 1: lot of amazing art. Their government, like the government in Sweden,
Speaker 1: it's just like really progressive socially, you know, the access
Speaker 1: to healthcare, the way people like treat each other, even
Speaker 1: um predominantly white blonde. Yes, yes, it's it's a sort
Speaker 1: of easier when matters and a lot of amazing pop
Speaker 1: comes out of Scandinavia. But see the thing about Sweden
Speaker 1: and the thing that it's it's just it's a great
Speaker 1: case study in homogenizing people to more easily governed and
Speaker 1: more easily socialized and provide access. If the people look
Speaker 1: at the same it's easier. Yeah. Absolutely. Once you all
Speaker 1: look the same, then you all act the same, then
Speaker 1: you all buy tickets to the same concert, and it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: That's a really good economy model. I disagree, Okay, but
Speaker 1: you're you're still like everything I set up into this point,
Speaker 1: would I was setting up that you would say that,
Speaker 1: so I would agree, and then I changed my mind
Speaker 1: in real time. Okay. And that's what people come to
Speaker 1: expect for my shows. Yeah, that they're going to expect
Speaker 1: to like, except, for example, get through it and live. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that might not be the case. Well that's why they
Speaker 1: turned on each other. Yes, what And the tourists called

Speaker 1: of show just to talk about scientology. And she's like,
Speaker 1: really cares my about it because she's like, I know,
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. You guys probably think I'm crazy. Yeah,

Speaker 1: is this next podcast, The Very Funny Mall Talk, hosted
Speaker 1: by comedians and l a mall aficionado's Emily Faye and
Speaker 1: Page Wildon, who do not think that hanging out at
Speaker 1: the mall should stop in adulthood. Each episode, a guest
Speaker 1: joins them to discuss classic stores, mall memories, and recent
Speaker 1: mall going adventures. In the following clip, Emily and Paige
Speaker 1: talked to comedian Solomon Georgio about Cinnabon, J C. Penny
Speaker 1: and so much more so then you never went back
Speaker 1: to Macy's. I did eat at Cinabon every day. I
Speaker 1: used to do the worst thing ever, cause Cinnabon had
Speaker 1: they had those They had the particular ones, which was
Speaker 1: like the peak On one, and also I don't think
Speaker 1: they have anymore. They actually had a root beer milkshake.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I'd have. We had the same exact
Speaker 1: reaction for that. So what I would do is order
Speaker 1: both of those things at the same time every day,
Speaker 1: oh every day within those three days that I was
Speaker 1: working there, and many times before and after until they
Speaker 1: no longer served the root beer. Oh I thought you
Speaker 1: were going to say, until they would no longer serve you.
Speaker 1: They were like, excuse me, you are cut off. We
Speaker 1: can see how soft your teeth are. They we have
Speaker 1: we have a moral responsibility vibrating for the last thirty
Speaker 1: minutes that I need you to stop. So where else
Speaker 1: did you work? I'm trying remember all the place that
Speaker 1: I worked, because I had a lot of job at
Speaker 1: the time, and that I would quit in dramatic ways
Speaker 1: because I did work at a J. C. Penney. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't at that mall at um oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was Aldwood Mall. It was called It's in Linwood, Washington,
Speaker 1: which is a North Seattle um and I worked at
Speaker 1: J C. Penny Is there? There was a j C.
Speaker 1: Pennies at North Gate, which I went to many times.
Speaker 1: Did you used to shop at j C Penny so
Speaker 1: many times? It's my mom's favorite place to buy her
Speaker 1: kids presence till this very day. I'm pretty sure she's
Speaker 1: currently in that jay Zy Penny trying to see if
Speaker 1: I want an oversize tweety bird shirt or and you
Speaker 1: do just small pair of boxers? No, she buys me
Speaker 1: briefs that's tidy Whitey's. She never knows my size. It's
Speaker 1: always a double excel or the smallest, and you're like,
Speaker 1: have you met me before? I do feel like j C.
Speaker 1: Penny is also like in my mind, such my Mom's
Speaker 1: like department store where it's like I feel like it's
Speaker 1: like Macy's is a little more like Elevant. It's like
Speaker 1: a little fancier j C. Penney. It's like Mom's like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Penny's. I'm getting a deal. In my mind,
Speaker 1: is that where all like your school clothes and stuff
Speaker 1: came from. Um No, I wish it was mostly Ross
Speaker 1: and Marshall's also at the mall. I mean, we love,
Speaker 1: we love Marshall's. I Marshall's is definitely a clean a
Speaker 1: cleaner Ross, but it's really again not I mean Ross.
Speaker 1: I will roster if there's an emergency of some kind
Speaker 1: where I simply can't get to a Marshall's. But it's
Speaker 1: a war zone. It's crazy there. But I'll tell you
Speaker 1: this right now. When it comes to home goods, Ross
Speaker 1: is crushing the game. I recently bought a teapot there.
Speaker 1: Ross is where the great deals are and home good
Speaker 1: no one goes, and that's part of the Ross. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not Destiny. I feel like that that is the
Speaker 1: one part of Ross. Whereas Marshall's overall, I'm like, great,
Speaker 1: everything's great. Marshall's doesn't have good deals on home goods.
Speaker 1: I was in Marshall's recently looking for a teapot, and
Speaker 1: I was like, most of these teapots are like twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars. Disrespectful to the game. Yeah, why am I
Speaker 1: even here? Might as well? Might as well go to
Speaker 1: Williams Sonoma friends and big. Look. I'm just saying, if
Speaker 1: you have a store, I can't. I shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to buy three shirts for the same price. Weird. I
Speaker 1: don't understand where that's going on. But I did then
Speaker 1: immediately going to Ross and like, or you could. I
Speaker 1: got a beautiful red one at four night and nine.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I actually also need a tea kettle. Will
Speaker 1: report back the Ross, see what you find. The one
Speaker 1: in Pasadena is very good. That's the best one I
Speaker 1: haven't been in most of the most of the clothes
Speaker 1: in that one are on the wreck. Oh how as
Speaker 1: opposed to something to be said, rampled on the floor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, but I've only been there when it first
Speaker 1: opened a ten an episode. Sure, I can't speak for
Speaker 1: an afternoon as I can't imagine um. But actually even
Speaker 1: I remember one time, because we went to Ross so
Speaker 1: many times, that I poop my pants at a Ross
Speaker 1: and everyone was like, correct, the same thing. My mother
Speaker 1: refused to buy me a new pants the only the
Speaker 1: only time that I have anyone's ever been like I
Speaker 1: need to buy pants at Ross. I need to like
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy pants right now? Or was
Speaker 1: it like sit in your mistake? It was really won't
Speaker 1: happen again. I truly wish my mother had that decency
Speaker 1: and her where she was like I can't afford this,
Speaker 1: we can't. No, no, no. It was more like no
Speaker 1: this on purpose, which is like who ships their past
Speaker 1: that purpose? No, there's no winning part of that. You're
Speaker 1: not getting anything out of it, believe it or not.
Speaker 1: And it's like and like you're going to have to
Speaker 1: be in the car with me on the right back home.
Speaker 1: So this hurts all of us. For everybody listening to
Speaker 1: Mary whole Hands a little podcast is like being stuck
Speaker 1: in a blender of early nineties FM radio. That sounds
Speaker 1: like a quote, but I just came up with it.
Speaker 1: Every time you listen to Mary whole Hands a little podcast,
Speaker 1: it's something different. A morning talk show, an advice show,
Speaker 1: a game show, a makeover show, a call in show,
Speaker 1: call out show, all from the mind of Mary hold Hand.
Speaker 1: Plus commercials like this one. Hey, the big concerce on
Speaker 1: the beach. Let's go, but wait at to eat all
Speaker 1: these tacos. Just put them in your pants. You ever
Speaker 1: go on a on and reach into your pocket for
Speaker 1: a taco but it's all cold. No way. Taco pants
Speaker 1: are special pants of foil insulat pockets that keep your
Speaker 1: tacos warm all day. I'm in love with the taco pants.
Speaker 1: Taco pants. This next podcast was nameds best podcast for
Speaker 1: aspiring Comedians by Vulture, not because it talks about how
Speaker 1: to succeed, but about how to fail. The Need to
Speaker 1: Fail with Don Finelle features comedians and entertainers at the
Speaker 1: top of their game, talking about all the rules they
Speaker 1: didn't get, all the shows they bombed, all the times
Speaker 1: they ate ship and their dreams felt more elusive than ever,
Speaker 1: and how they persevered through those times. In the following clip,
Speaker 1: Don talks with comedian, writer and improviser Neil Casey. So
Speaker 1: you kept your car, you have your car in New York.
Speaker 1: My car in New York. And then I thirty days
Speaker 1: to figure out like where I'm gonna live and what's
Speaker 1: going on And the answer was ended up being that, um,
Speaker 1: I lived nowhere for five months. Um and uh uh
Speaker 1: I packed, I threw away a ton more ship. I
Speaker 1: got a storage unit over on the West Side Highway
Speaker 1: for the stuff I kept that wasn't in my car
Speaker 1: and uh. And then I was homeless for from April
Speaker 1: of until September of or mid August, when I moved
Speaker 1: into Nick Coacher's room that I rented with like Grant
Speaker 1: O'Brien and Mary and Lennon and some good people there.
Speaker 1: And part of it was like I called it a UM.
Speaker 1: Once I was I could say, um, it's like a
Speaker 1: controlled homelessness because my thinking was if I, if I
Speaker 1: can just there's some places I needed to be, including um,
Speaker 1: the Torquo trip to South Carolina Williamstown Theater Festival, where
Speaker 1: I teach improv classes. In the summertime, my family rents
Speaker 1: a beach house in June, so there was like if
Speaker 1: I could just cover these weeks, then I basically wouldn't
Speaker 1: need to pay rent for like I thought like three
Speaker 1: months that ended up being like a little over four.
Speaker 1: What did you do? How did you do this? I?
Speaker 1: Where did you stay? I stayed at my brothers a
Speaker 1: little bit a couple of nights, but he just had
Speaker 1: a bedroom. Did people know? Did you tell anybody about
Speaker 1: the people I asked to stay with? I did, yeah,
Speaker 1: but nobody else knew. Nobody else knew because Hines and
Speaker 1: I were doing our show then too. So anytime Hines
Speaker 1: and I would do Small Man, I would stay at
Speaker 1: his house tonight before and I'd sleep there and then
Speaker 1: we would But did you tell him I don't have
Speaker 1: a place? Okay? Yeah he knew, like my my my
Speaker 1: closest friends knew. Um and I would stay hind stated
Speaker 1: at my brother's. I stayed at Dan Blacks one time.
Speaker 1: I stayed a Glove Bands one time. These are all
Speaker 1: people right in Manhattan too, Yeah yeah, yeah, kind of
Speaker 1: kind of kind of keeping it honest that way. I
Speaker 1: lived at the green point Y m c A for
Speaker 1: a little while with a lot of old with a
Speaker 1: lot of old guys. Are you mentally during this how
Speaker 1: are you are you determined? Or are you like fucking low? Well,
Speaker 1: I was throwing in retrospect. I believe that what I
Speaker 1: was doing was I was eliminating absolutely everything that I
Speaker 1: had going on in my life so that I could
Speaker 1: like reboot the few things that I think would actually work.
Speaker 1: Another very exciting addition to Forever Dog this year was
Speaker 1: the beloved cold sensation podcast The Ride, a show about
Speaker 1: theme parks hosted by three childless men in their thirties,
Speaker 1: Mike Carlson, Jason Sheridan, and Scott Gardner. This year, podcast
Speaker 1: The Ride accomplished perhaps the most impressive feat in all
Speaker 1: of comedy podcasting, releasing an eighteen episodes in eighteen days
Speaker 1: series about Hollywood's Universal City Walk that was rightly named
Speaker 1: Best Mini Series of Team by Vulture. And here's a
Speaker 1: clip from that very series, the City Walk saga. Let's clarify,
Speaker 1: this series is about city Walk at Universal Hollywood, not
Speaker 1: City Walk at Universal Orlando. That is an entirely different entity.
Speaker 1: We will not speak about that at all at all.
Speaker 1: This is only for Hollywood. And yes, now that is
Speaker 1: also lovely. It's a lovely place. Yeah. Well, in an
Speaker 1: endeavor like this requires rules and parameters, right, and which
Speaker 1: is why you know we've carefully caged ourselves in with
Speaker 1: the nineteen part system. And where did where did nineteen
Speaker 1: come from? I feel like that because they aren't necessarily
Speaker 1: all even in the amounts of stores and restaurants. But
Speaker 1: there's I think nineteen is a is a perfect number. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be question perfection. But but
Speaker 1: if we had to analyze, what is it about nineteen?
Speaker 1: Why is that the perfect amount? You know? One of
Speaker 1: the impetus is for for doing this is that, like
Speaker 1: we met a guy, I think a guy almost undervalues
Speaker 1: he is a mentor figure maybe or a voice of authority.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's here a sector keeper he could know
Speaker 1: who could have said it themselves, the being himself. Um
Speaker 1: so yeah, joining us today on the podcast is uh,
Speaker 1: we call him the sector keeper. He keeps the different
Speaker 1: sectors of city walk Universal CityWalk sector keeper, please of course,
Speaker 1: universal CityWalk, Hollywood sector keeper. Actually, if I may correct,
Speaker 1: your spirit can across the country country start to dissipate.
Speaker 1: When you hit the Mississippi, I lose strength. Y. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So when we talk about nineteen sectors, um, this is
Speaker 1: sort of a number that's been around for as long
Speaker 1: as time. Like the number twenty three, the significant number
Speaker 1: of the Jim Carey film nineteen is a it's it
Speaker 1: exists in many different UH codes, and it's embedded secretly
Speaker 1: all over the city Walk property. That's fair to say, correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: as another World League of meaning, city Walk is a
Speaker 1: powerful place, a magical place, and so you must divide
Speaker 1: it into sectors to experience more than a sector it
Speaker 1: provides would be dangerous, Yes, if we have too much
Speaker 1: fun and too much discussion about like maybe say two
Speaker 1: sectors at once, it would be too much for sort
Speaker 1: of a normal mortal man or a woman to handle.
Speaker 1: So that's why we've divided it up into different sectors.
Speaker 1: Because we were talking about all the city Walk at once,
Speaker 1: who knows what would happen. We would just be exhausted,
Speaker 1: you know, or we'd be here all day, well a week.
Speaker 1: And many people in this city or visiting Los Angeles
Speaker 1: from other cities have gone up to city Walk, and
Speaker 1: I can only imagine. I mean, there's no there's no
Speaker 1: wrong way to do city Walk, but there's also a
Speaker 1: perfect way to do it. And and it it seems
Speaker 1: to me sector keeper that UH by laying out the
Speaker 1: divine sectors. You were providing the your ideal way of experiencing.
Speaker 1: Uh this, this mall, I would call it a perfect
Speaker 1: sort of roadmap. Yes, look at us, a roadmap, a
Speaker 1: roadmap that will provide you uh many things. Discovery of
Speaker 1: popcorn okay and Popcornopolis, discoveries of board shorts at Billabong,
Speaker 1: discoveries of watches that's, fossil discoveries, discoveries of water massages
Speaker 1: at zen Zone okay, and discoveries of well priced women's
Speaker 1: fashion at the Angels and stuff, yes, like scarves and
Speaker 1: and dresses, but a reasonable price forward. And that is
Speaker 1: your first sector. Okay, that sector wator one, Popcornopolis, Fossil,
Speaker 1: zen Zone and Angel. My boys venture into the sector, discuss,
Speaker 1: but be careful. If you go outside of the sector,
Speaker 1: my spirits will burn in hell, Wait what we'll spit
Speaker 1: out the drink I had of my mouth? Did you really?
Speaker 1: That's what's at stake here. Each sector will help piece
Speaker 1: together my soul. Once you accomplish each sector, you will
Speaker 1: get a sector stone. Okay, nineteen sector stones make up
Speaker 1: my soul. Oh my god, So please go forth, be
Speaker 1: careful and I'll be here watching over you as your guardian.
Speaker 1: Guardian setting you free, sorry to bring you back quick
Speaker 1: untill here. So yeah, like you can hang out, but
Speaker 1: like you were, setting you free. Basically are you until
Speaker 1: like Casper, where like you have unfinished business or yes,
Speaker 1: I have unfinished business in the city walk Okay, I
Speaker 1: can't get into the details. I'll tell you more as
Speaker 1: you discover more. Alright, just know that I will go
Speaker 1: to hell if you don't do this. Okay. Well that's
Speaker 1: a lot to put on us. Perhaps no podcast has
Speaker 1: followed a more bizarre and self destructive trajectory than the
Speaker 1: podcast for Laundry. Originally pitched to us as a podcast
Speaker 1: to do your laundry to we honestly had no idea
Speaker 1: what we were getting into. Over the course of the
Speaker 1: last year, host and laundry obsessive Brett Davis has been
Speaker 1: arrested during a live recording, gotten married to a bottle
Speaker 1: of tied detergent, and piste off pretty much every guest
Speaker 1: that has been unfortunate enough to be booked on the show,
Speaker 1: guests including Janine Garoffalo why It's Senac, Tom Sharpling, Bridy Elliott,
Speaker 1: and Chris Gathard. Please tolerate the following clip featuring Awful
Speaker 1: Brett and the wonderful Sashir Zamata. You know what I do,
Speaker 1: I've got um if you see my one my belt,
Speaker 1: they've got it looks like a little like a nineties
Speaker 1: cell phone holder's kind of thick but jam packed type pods. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's very convenient. Like you know how people walk around
Speaker 1: with dog treats. I'm sort of like that, but with
Speaker 1: that's great. Do you like hand amount of strangers or
Speaker 1: just using for yourself to strangers for myself whatever? Whatever?
Speaker 1: You know, Sometimes I check in on the laundromat and
Speaker 1: I just put my head and said, everything okay in here,
Speaker 1: that's really nice of you. And then if if some
Speaker 1: it's never happened, but something like I've forgot my launder
Speaker 1: mat and they may I have my card and my
Speaker 1: now I don't have my detergent and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I toss some of teod. Wow, that's like a commercial
Speaker 1: for tide pods. I'd be worried that they would melt
Speaker 1: and do commercials. I don't any well, yeah I do.
Speaker 1: I used to do more than I do now. But yes,
Speaker 1: do you know any advertising agencies? Um? Not like, I
Speaker 1: don't have like good relationships with anybody I know of
Speaker 1: some are you looking for sponsorship? Well yeah, I always tied,
Speaker 1: But I think I have a lot of great laundry
Speaker 1: detergent commercial ideas. I'm sure you do. There was one
Speaker 1: commercial audition for it, actually for Tide. I didn't get it,
Speaker 1: but I auditioned for it, and it was like a
Speaker 1: mom role where you had to like be with a
Speaker 1: kid who was messy. And those auditions with other kids
Speaker 1: are always weird because you don't know the kid, but
Speaker 1: their mom is there and you're like trying to like
Speaker 1: convince them to chill out and be okay with this
Speaker 1: new adult in this very strange situation. Interesting, there was
Speaker 1: one I did for Loves where I had to hold
Speaker 1: a baby, and that was very strange and like a
Speaker 1: live baby. I had a hold of live baby, and
Speaker 1: they were like the casting people were asking me questions
Speaker 1: like do you like kids? Do you like being with kids?
Speaker 1: And I'm like holding it as far away as possible,
Speaker 1: like yeah, this is a blast for me, And it
Speaker 1: wasn't because it was wet. It was a very wet baby.
Speaker 1: One baby like kind of being passed around all day.
Speaker 1: I think they had multiple babies being passed around. I
Speaker 1: think that that baby maybe did a couple auditions and
Speaker 1: then they're like, okay, we get we get what that
Speaker 1: baby's deal is, and then they bring in another baby.
Speaker 1: Do you still have your sides? I don't know. That
Speaker 1: was a mental fun segment. Yeah. Sorry, it's like sort
Speaker 1: of living your dream. Yeah. I mean I've done other
Speaker 1: stuff since then. But I could be the baby. You
Speaker 1: hold me like a little baby. You're a little bigger
Speaker 1: than the baby. I could be a little baby. I
Speaker 1: need my laundry. The baby didn't have lines. It was
Speaker 1: just it was just the adult that had the line
Speaker 1: of the lines. So baby just sat there. I could coop,
Speaker 1: you could do you want to improve this? You're okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Wow. Did I get in your lap? No? No,
Speaker 1: you can say right there, okay, and we'll just pretend
Speaker 1: that you are in my lap. Okay, all right. As
Speaker 1: a busy mom, I don't have time to just clean
Speaker 1: up all the time when I'm on the go, when
Speaker 1: I'm on the go and my and my son's on
Speaker 1: the go. I use loves. Yeah, it seems great. That
Speaker 1: was really great. Good what do you use loves. What's
Speaker 1: love is the diaper company? Oh? I thought we were
Speaker 1: doing a laundry commercial. Oh, let's let's go back and
Speaker 1: do a commercially. I'm a busy mom and I don't
Speaker 1: have time to just run around pick up my kid's
Speaker 1: clothes all the time. As as you can see, little
Speaker 1: Harvard gets very upset often. So when I need to
Speaker 1: get my kid's clothes ready to go, there's a reason
Speaker 1: for this. Okay, I need to give my kids clothes
Speaker 1: ready to go. I used Tide. Oh see, look how
Speaker 1: happy is No, I'm using Tide Ti pud. Those were
Speaker 1: your first words, ti pud? Oh, don't eat it? Don't
Speaker 1: eat it? Sweet? M m hm. Wow that was great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wish there was a casting director here because that
Speaker 1: would have been amazing. Well, we could just said this,
Speaker 1: they do radio ads. This is true. Yeah, um, this
Speaker 1: could be on Spotify. Imagine if you don't have the
Speaker 1: Spotify premium and you're just kind of going through your
Speaker 1: day and then you hear that in between your you know,
Speaker 1: workout playlist or yeah, so exciting. It would be so exciting, like, Wow,
Speaker 1: maybe I should get tied. Is that this year? Is that?
Speaker 1: Brett Well They're Doing Well. One of two podcasts that
Speaker 1: Forever Dog, hosted by the prolific duo of Lindsay Kati
Speaker 1: and Kelly Nugent. Public Domain Theater started out as a
Speaker 1: bonus episode and has since grown into one of the
Speaker 1: most rewarding and binge able back catalogs in the comedy
Speaker 1: podcast universe. Public Domain Theater is like Master Best Theater
Speaker 1: meets Mystery Science Theater three thousand. Lindsey, Kelly and their
Speaker 1: guests read a classic or not so classic work of
Speaker 1: literature from the public domain and interrupted with hilarious commentary.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for an episode to start with, try
Speaker 1: Sherwood Anderson's The Egg with guest Riah Butcher, brand Stoker's
Speaker 1: The Dulatists with guest Mary Holland, named one of Indie
Speaker 1: Wire's best podcast episodes, Or Irving E. Cox's Love Story
Speaker 1: with guest Nick Wiger, which is where this clip comes from.
Speaker 1: True to Yourself. George found a strange comfort in the words,
Speaker 1: and his fear was gone. He squared his shoulders and
Speaker 1: faced the mouth of her gun. True to Yourself. That
Speaker 1: was something worth dying for. He saw a flicker of
Speaker 1: emotion in the old woman's eyes admiration. He couldn't be sure.
Speaker 1: For the moment, a shot rang out from the end
Speaker 1: of the corridor, and the top director fell back, nursing
Speaker 1: a hand suddenly bright with blood. Wait, what did somebody
Speaker 1: else shoot her? Rove roving band? Or is it Jenny? Oh? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: let him go. It was Jenny's voice, Jenny. She was
Speaker 1: sheltered by a partly opened door at the foot of
Speaker 1: the stairway. Don't be a fool, the old woman replied.
Speaker 1: He's seemed too much. It doesn't matter who would believe him.
Speaker 1: You're upset. You don't realize he's mine and I want him.
Speaker 1: The director will give you a refund of the purchase. Rice, God,
Speaker 1: you didn't understand me. I don't want one of your
Speaker 1: pretty automatons. Anybody can buy them for a few shares
Speaker 1: of stock. I want a man, a real man. I
Speaker 1: want to belong to him. He belongs to you. You
Speaker 1: bought him. No, no, and that's what's wrong. We really
Speaker 1: belong to each other. An old woman asked at George,
Speaker 1: and he saw the flame flicker of feeling in her
Speaker 1: eyes and tears, tears of regret. Why we have you outnumbered,
Speaker 1: the old woman said quietly to Jenny, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I have a gun. I'll use it as long as
Speaker 1: I'm able. The moral squad raised their weapons. The director
Speaker 1: shook her head imperiously, and they snapped to attention again.
Speaker 1: If you take him from us, she called out to Jenny,
Speaker 1: you'll be outlawed. We'll hunt you down if we can.
Speaker 1: I want him, Jenny persisted, I don't care about the
Speaker 1: rest of it. The old woman nodded at George. He
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that she meant it. The director was on
Speaker 1: her home ground, in her headquarters building, back by an
Speaker 1: arms squad of stone faced Amazons. She had no reason
Speaker 1: to let him go. She walked beside him as he
Speaker 1: moved down the hall. When they were when they were
Speaker 1: twenty ft from the guard, she closed her thin hand
Speaker 1: on his arm. Her eyes swam with tears, and she whispered,
Speaker 1: there truly is a love potion, not this nonsense we
Speaker 1: bottled here, but something real and very worthwhile. You and
Speaker 1: this girl have found it. I know that from the
Speaker 1: way she talks. She doesn't say anything about ownership, and
Speaker 1: that's as it should be, as it has to be
Speaker 1: for any of us to be happy. Hold tight to
Speaker 1: that all the rest of your life. Don't ever believe
Speaker 1: in words. Don't fall for any more love stories. Believe
Speaker 1: what you feel deep inside, what you know yourself to
Speaker 1: be true. You men who learned to break away, are
Speaker 1: our only hope to I'm sorry, who's talking right now?
Speaker 1: This is a little imperial. This is the old woman
Speaker 1: who's been shot. Why did she all? I don't know,
Speaker 1: she's flipped. Most of us don't see that yet. I do.
Speaker 1: I know what it used to be like. Someday there mate,
Speaker 1: which so she's like over ninety years old. Someday there
Speaker 1: may be enough men with a stamina to take back
Speaker 1: the place of dominance that we stole from them. We
Speaker 1: thought we wanted it for decades before. We had been
Speaker 1: screaming women's right. Oh, this is horrible, This is a nightmare.
Speaker 1: This is horrible, This is horrible. This at this story.
Speaker 1: Her thin lips twisted in the steer and she spattered, disgusted.
Speaker 1: Finally we took what we wanted, and it turned to
Speaker 1: ashes in our hands. We made our men play things,
Speaker 1: We made them slaves, and after that they weren't men anymore.
Speaker 1: But what we stole isn't the sort of thing you
Speaker 1: can hand back on a silver platter. Your shot. Why
Speaker 1: is she talking so long? I don't know, I am
Speaker 1: I hate this, but what we stole isn't the sort
Speaker 1: of thing you can hand back on a silver platter.
Speaker 1: You men have to get enough courage to take it
Speaker 1: away from us. God. Her grip tightened on his arm.
Speaker 1: There's a fire door at the end of the hall.
Speaker 1: If you push the emergency button, you'll close it. That
Speaker 1: will give you a five or ten minutes start. I
Speaker 1: can't help you anymore. They were abreast of Jenny. She
Speaker 1: sees Jenny's hand and thrust it into his. Beat it kids,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a bachelor camp on the north Ridge.
Speaker 1: You can make it and from here on in what
Speaker 1: he says goes The old woman added, are you kidding me?

Speaker 1: rock moves. Yeah, hey, now you're an all star, get
Speaker 1: your game on. She looks kind of smash mouth, smash mouth,
Speaker 1: crimpy hair and like she's giving rocker and she's characterized.
Speaker 1: She's giving me Lindsay Lohan mall rocker from exactly. That
Speaker 1: hair could have been teased out, she could have had
Speaker 1: a couple of scabs, but you know she's clean, concise package.
Speaker 1: She demands innovation as she walks out and peels off
Speaker 1: one piece of sequin dot fabric. Honey, we've all done it.
Speaker 1: I've never demanded applause. I've never demanded, but I've done
Speaker 1: the sequin dot reveal. I know I've done shows you anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm not no one. No one sees this reveal coming.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing fabric. No one knows that I'm going to
Speaker 1: take this off, keeping this song for the whole show.
Speaker 1: I think any time that you have to go out
Speaker 1: for a challenge and you have to get an audience
Speaker 1: ready that like has been sitting come on, get yeah,
Speaker 1: I cut your hands, it's always like a risk because
Speaker 1: they could always just cut to the audience given newts. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also keep in mind this audience has to watch how
Speaker 1: many queens sing the same exact song, uh six seven
Speaker 1: times in a row, which, Okay, it's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: to get that audience going for sure. Um Sahara actually
Speaker 1: forgets some of the lyrics, but Tatti adds her own,
Speaker 1: She gets some chant and t a t I bitch.
Speaker 1: Tati turns the party every time. She's a great performer.
Speaker 1: Raven two, Raven does really well, not surprisingly. And she's
Speaker 1: got a little something that for me is like a
Speaker 1: wet cotton ball pulling cart. There's just a thin strip
Speaker 1: of panty over a padded ass. And to me, that's
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, it's just the padded patio
Speaker 1: as with a thong over It is a rare, thrilling moment.
Speaker 1: It's a very Inland Empire moment. Because the girls do it.
Speaker 1: Morgan does it, Raven does it. It doesn't to me
Speaker 1: resemble a real ass enough for it to be like,
Speaker 1: for it to have the impact that a thong is
Speaker 1: supposed to have. Yeah, I'm not saying put on depends,
Speaker 1: but put on a light panty French cut a brief
Speaker 1: you know, Yes, it draws attention to the wrong area.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, okay, that's it's it's more for drag
Speaker 1: queens than it is for like the audience, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't, I mean, and Raven like keeps turning
Speaker 1: around like showing her ass off, and it's like it's
Speaker 1: like like a um, like a loaf of bread with
Speaker 1: a piece of tape over. It doesn't resemble an ass
Speaker 1: and the scene from the Pantyhose is off center from Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lock off points for that girl presentation.
Speaker 1: I'm going to lock off voice points presentation anyway. But
Speaker 1: she's fares well Ruth's living because she looks like Ruth's

Speaker 1: her forearms and she looks like Terry Nun. She's selling it.

Speaker 1: at one point and says, I'm gonna do this if
Speaker 1: you are this is the case that the clothes there
Speaker 1: are taking over and it's especially for rock and roll.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be about connection with this, the roll
Speaker 1: in the moment free, but she's like, I'm doing this
Speaker 1: thing with the coch and I'm not singing the words
Speaker 1: where they go at all. She was in her own
Speaker 1: she marched into her own band, and I was on
Speaker 1: a on a one person loop in her head. But
Speaker 1: she had immunity, so she was vulnerable. She made mistakes
Speaker 1: and she learned from it probably and she thanks yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's very thankful for it. I bet they vot
Speaker 1: your critique. Sketch comedy and podcasting are an absolute match

Speaker 1: Next up is Relatively Healthy, Jenny Stoler's podcast about health, sex, wellness, dating,
Speaker 1: and self care. This year, Janey has conducted some of
Speaker 1: the most honest and revealing interviews that you will ever
Speaker 1: hear on a comedy podcast, covering topics such as breast cancer,
Speaker 1: body acceptance, grief, plastic surgery, polyamory, addiction, heart transplants, mental illness,
Speaker 1: and menstrual products. Definitely, one of the highlights of Relatively
Speaker 1: Healthy this year was Janey's two part series on abortion,
Speaker 1: which included this clip with guest Kim Callish. When you're
Speaker 1: trying to defend abortion, you try to make it seem
Speaker 1: like it's not that big of a deal. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel scary, and that's fair and that's fine. But
Speaker 1: for me, I got lost in it because all I
Speaker 1: was hearing from people who are pro choices like it's fine,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, is fine. I don't regret it. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm two years out, and that first do
Speaker 1: date that came through, I was a mess over. I
Speaker 1: had to go take a hike up a mountain with
Speaker 1: my dog and I just left for the day and
Speaker 1: I was like, peace out, I need to go do this.
Speaker 1: And sometimes I still do the math of how old
Speaker 1: that kid would be if I had kept if I
Speaker 1: had kept it, and I and I go through it,
Speaker 1: and I still think about it, and I never questioned
Speaker 1: my decision, but I always think what if I had
Speaker 1: made a different decision. So in the in the battle
Speaker 1: of abortion, that seems to get really lost, and I
Speaker 1: just wish. I know, there's gotta be more women than
Speaker 1: just me thinking about it, so and I would think
Speaker 1: that I'm probably in the majority. It's just that there's
Speaker 1: such a shame because we all live in the shadows
Speaker 1: that we don't know how to talk about it, you know,
Speaker 1: and we're scared of pissing people off. Too, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the time. I mean, there's also what
Speaker 1: you're saying is interesting because if there's a pressure to scream,
Speaker 1: you know, and some people they're just naturally wired like
Speaker 1: this or they feel this way, they want to scream
Speaker 1: about it. They love it, it's the best thing that
Speaker 1: they ever did, no complicated feelings. But if we also
Speaker 1: want to talk to people who don't necessarily understand it,
Speaker 1: sometimes like we're all having different conversations, Like there's just
Speaker 1: not people who are a pro choice and anti choice
Speaker 1: sometimes are just not time of the same thing, Like
Speaker 1: they're not talking about the same experience, the same type
Speaker 1: of story. So by being able to fill in those
Speaker 1: blanks with all the stories as many as possible actual experiences,
Speaker 1: I feel like that does a lot of service to you.
Speaker 1: Don't just like undo some of those huge divides. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I also think that society
Speaker 1: at whole as whole, but also women, we hold women
Speaker 1: up to such a high moral standard that's much higher
Speaker 1: than men. We can't mess up and so, and we
Speaker 1: represent all women. One thing you do means everything for everybody, right,
Speaker 1: So you tend to get the extremes on both sides
Speaker 1: and you just lose nuance. And I don't know one
Speaker 1: topic or conversation in this world that doesn't have nuance,
Speaker 1: you know, And I just I don't know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever be the person that's screaming at
Speaker 1: the top of my lungs that I've had an abortion,
Speaker 1: but like I'll sit down and talk to anybody who
Speaker 1: will have it, you know. And I just feel like
Speaker 1: there's a huge majority in there that we just don't
Speaker 1: get talked about all that much. Yeah, and then that
Speaker 1: just keeps propelling the stigma forward because then it's shut out.
Speaker 1: And then if the one in three wear their voices.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to add myne right, We'll also
Speaker 1: take it from a if you take it from a
Speaker 1: pro life stance. If all you see are women screaming
Speaker 1: about the how they don't care but you believe that
Speaker 1: life begins at conception, I totally understand why you think
Speaker 1: they were crazy. You think they're screaming how proudly are
Speaker 1: to kill a baby? Right, and so you lack the
Speaker 1: ability to ever have a conversation with them. If there
Speaker 1: isn't a group of people saying no, hang on, hang on,
Speaker 1: I do believe I had a baby and I had
Speaker 1: to make this horrific choice and it was rough, but
Speaker 1: I had to make this choice, and I can't make
Speaker 1: that the choice for you, and you can't make that
Speaker 1: choice for me. There are few podcasts that make better
Speaker 1: use of sound and atmosphere than the Very Cool, Very
Speaker 1: Trippy Sassy Tarot, hosted by Veronica so Orio. Described as
Speaker 1: an audio journey through the world of the Taro, Veronica
Speaker 1: provides interactive readings, explains the meaning of the cards and
Speaker 1: how to interpret them, shares unforgettable stories from her life,
Speaker 1: and brings on guests for live readings, and all the
Speaker 1: while she's accompanied by a live improvised soundtrack courtesy of
Speaker 1: musician Peter Mark Kendall. Sassy Tarot is a truly unique
Speaker 1: listening experience. Just listen to this clip featuring Beyond's very
Speaker 1: own Mike Kelton. My Angel experiences have been I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot I got. I had a terrible I
Speaker 1: was going to do this work. I was hired as
Speaker 1: an actress for this high level thing, and UM I
Speaker 1: had a terrible, random, like out of nowhere fight with
Speaker 1: the producer I have never fought in my life. I'm
Speaker 1: so against I don't know myself either. I know that
Speaker 1: I get upset about it. Conflict makes me very stressed.
Speaker 1: I will say things frontally, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: that escalated. So and it turned into some mostly it
Speaker 1: was me in a corner being like defending myself, and
Speaker 1: so I felt like a cage animal. And that has
Speaker 1: never happened in my life. And I left very like
Speaker 1: thank you, I love, very like shaky, and was like funk.
Speaker 1: That has never happened. Like I try to like look
Speaker 1: back and regret it, regret having reacted or said or
Speaker 1: and I couldn't regret really anything. So I was kind
Speaker 1: of calmed that way, like I don't think there's one
Speaker 1: thing that I could have done differently, frankly, honestly, but
Speaker 1: I don't even regret it, and not in a bad way,
Speaker 1: like I wish maybe it wouldn't have gone that way,
Speaker 1: but I don't regret it. But I couldn't get this
Speaker 1: like terrible yucky post fight like doom, you know, like
Speaker 1: this like darkness and yeah, your hearts. So I went
Speaker 1: two days later to get a raky session because I
Speaker 1: wanted to clear that energy and also I was frankly
Speaker 1: losing my mind. I felt like they put like energetic
Speaker 1: like grips on me or something. Yeah, that can happen.
Speaker 1: It can stick to you for sure. If someone gets
Speaker 1: to you, if they managed to lower your vibration, you're
Speaker 1: they get you in a bad place emotionally. I've heard
Speaker 1: it's easier to to get it to attack you. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I have a little story about that. Um two
Speaker 1: petty petty petty story. I love Carol. So I went
Speaker 1: to get the Reiky session and I'm just like laying
Speaker 1: there and she's doing her thing. But one of the
Speaker 1: images that I had, it was so heavy, so strong.
Speaker 1: Before my accident, I prayed to Michael. I was like,
Speaker 1: please Michael, because that's my no, no, my Italian grandpa,
Speaker 1: that's this angel. And like we just we all prayed
Speaker 1: to Michael. Not pray too, but ask. So Duran Virtue
Speaker 1: is the one who taught me like when you want
Speaker 1: help outside help, you need to ask. Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: to communicate with your masters or whatever. Because free will
Speaker 1: is so free will. You're going about your left and
Speaker 1: then you're like I don't know what to do with this.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with this. Instead of
Speaker 1: using your brain, like that you can just go anyone
Speaker 1: who's qualified to help me with this, any idea, any thought,
Speaker 1: any person, please send it my way because I need
Speaker 1: this help. And then you at least are open in
Speaker 1: your brain to receive a solution versus just like staying
Speaker 1: in the asking place. If you stay in the negativity
Speaker 1: of it, yes, you kind of like tear yourself apart
Speaker 1: because you're not even actively looking for a solution. While
Speaker 1: when you ask, even if you don't believe in angels,
Speaker 1: you're asking, so you're putting your mind already in that
Speaker 1: In that position, it's literally the idea of like asking
Speaker 1: for help when you need it, and people will help
Speaker 1: you if you ask. Yes. So this is like a
Speaker 1: mental exercise to be like asked, the energy is available
Speaker 1: to please come to you and help you. So I
Speaker 1: do that. With the accident, I barely like I scratched
Speaker 1: myself basically even though it was hard. When the reggae
Speaker 1: session was happening, I closed my eyes well um, and
Speaker 1: then two huge muscular legs came out from inside of
Speaker 1: mine and then they were so so so so so
Speaker 1: long that I got lifted from earth like literally saw
Speaker 1: the earth like becoming them, and so you visualized to
Speaker 1: like big muscular did this image. It's like when when
Speaker 1: you were between a sleep in a way that a
Speaker 1: bunch of images just come and they're not yours, but
Speaker 1: they're not a dream. That that stage she was doing
Speaker 1: riky and I was like having random images and kind
Speaker 1: of thoughts because I'm still kind of conscious. And then
Speaker 1: two huge, muscular, super great big legs grow from inside
Speaker 1: of mine, but they were like energetic legs. They lift
Speaker 1: me from the earth. And then I looked back and
Speaker 1: there's uh six ft long wings, gigantic just the I
Speaker 1: knew it was Michael, and I knew he grew from
Speaker 1: inside of me so as to say like you're protected
Speaker 1: from inside out, lifted me from the earth and then
Speaker 1: walked with his two it was milky white with like
Speaker 1: a blue energy lining or something. Walked me from where
Speaker 1: I was on earth too a few steps, and then
Speaker 1: he slowly put me down and then I landed in
Speaker 1: a different place, and then more images came like that
Speaker 1: image went and then I realized. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I woke up. And then I told this girl who
Speaker 1: was even ricky to me, and she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was Michael, and I was like yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I thought. She knew it was Michael. Yeah, she was like,
Speaker 1: this is Michael, and I was like, okay, yeah it
Speaker 1: was Michael. Oh my god, this story. I know, it's crazy,
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it is a bold move to
Speaker 1: introduce yourself to the world as the sister podcast of
Speaker 1: Lost Culture Rista's, But that is exactly what Katherine Cohen
Speaker 1: and Pat Regan did this year with their podcast Seek Treatment,
Speaker 1: and over the course of twenty plus episodes, they have
Speaker 1: proven themselves more than worthy of that title. In fact,
Speaker 1: Seek Treatment and Lost Culturesta's were just named Best Extended
Speaker 1: Podcast Universe by Vulture. Wow. I didn't know that was
Speaker 1: an award. Each week, Cat and Pat invite on a
Speaker 1: guest to have a fun, flirty conversation about boys, sex, fucking, dating,
Speaker 1: and love, and the proof is in the goddamn putting people.
Speaker 1: Please enjoy this clip from the episode Sucking a Dick
Speaker 1: is My Wedding with guest Amy Sullivan. I'm going through
Speaker 1: a lot of changes right now. I really feel like
Speaker 1: I'm growing right now. I think I'm growing right now.
Speaker 1: Oh good. I think I'm in this place where I'm
Speaker 1: getting things that I want and I think in like
Speaker 1: three years, I'll have everything I ever wanted. What I'm
Speaker 1: scared of is as I'm like getting closer to the
Speaker 1: things they want, I'm realizing it not I I'm seeing
Speaker 1: it not make me happy, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this Jack and I've been chasing for a decade is
Speaker 1: going to be a um golden calf and I will
Speaker 1: never be happy. I feel like my life is so
Speaker 1: perfect right now and everything good is happening. I need
Speaker 1: to just enjoy it instead of being anxious all the time.
Speaker 1: I do feel like you have to. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't quite know how to do it, but like
Speaker 1: you're performing. I was thinking about last night with you
Speaker 1: performing at Joe's Pub, like a literal thing you dreamed
Speaker 1: of in high school? Like how do we stop and
Speaker 1: be like holy shit? Even some for me, something as
Speaker 1: simple as like when I suck a deck, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I used to always want to suck a deck. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I was like twenty three. I would remember being twenty
Speaker 1: three and like having a dream that I took the
Speaker 1: deck and I was still closeted, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I wonderful. Ever in my whole life stuck a day
Speaker 1: even in something as simple sucking, you should be celebrating.
Speaker 1: The second dick is my Joe's pup show. You're just
Speaker 1: pub show at the Duke play. I just I just
Speaker 1: popped shout the Dukes where ticket link is now available
Speaker 1: this this podcast will come out to day and Joe's
Speaker 1: pub show is Katherine's wedding. So if I transit the
Speaker 1: property stuck in your dick is my wedding, se me
Speaker 1: seking dicks wedding. I'm obsessed with the transident property and
Speaker 1: pub is my wedding. Now listen. The second podcast in
Speaker 1: this episode, hosted by Lindsay Kati and Kelly Nugent, is
Speaker 1: the absolutely beloved teen Creeps, a weekly book club of
Speaker 1: why pulp fiction from the eighties and nineties, which joined
Speaker 1: Forever Dog at the beginning of and proceeded to rip
Speaker 1: through an incredible run of episodes, tackling titles such as
Speaker 1: Arlstein's The prom Queen, Christopher Pike's Starlight Crystal, and L. J.
Speaker 1: Smith's Daughters of Darkness. Named one of the best podcasts
Speaker 1: by Cosmopolitan, teen Creeps is quote the book club you
Speaker 1: wish you had when you were young, except it's even
Speaker 1: better that you're discovering it now because you'll get more
Speaker 1: of the jokes and beyond the books. One of the
Speaker 1: most compelling parts of teen Creeps is the seemingly endless
Speaker 1: amount of awkward, hilarious, and exquisitely relatable coming of age
Speaker 1: stories that Lindsay and Kelly share, including the following clip
Speaker 1: from the episode on earl Stein's Cheerleaders The Third Evil,
Speaker 1: in which Kelly introduces us for the first but not
Speaker 1: the last time through her very very unforgettable aunt. So,
Speaker 1: I have an aunt who who nervous about where this
Speaker 1: is going, makes everybody do things for her, and like
Speaker 1: she's just very she's very strange. Like when she's talking
Speaker 1: to you, she'll get out this little notebook and like
Speaker 1: take notes on what you're saying. Yeah, she's intense, and
Speaker 1: she's also a person that will like, um, she just
Speaker 1: like likes being pampered and like massaged and like that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, but like by people she knows. My god, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty weird, like and she'll always like um, like
Speaker 1: she said to my mom, they're the same age. She
Speaker 1: goes tweet do you want And that's how she talks
Speaker 1: to do you want me to braid your hair. And
Speaker 1: my mom was like what, And she's like, I just
Speaker 1: love the feeling of when people play with my hair.
Speaker 1: And you have such beautiful hair. Do you mind if
Speaker 1: I play with it? Oh? God? But she will do
Speaker 1: things like that, like she watch an a SMR video Lady,
Speaker 1: she will like I remember when she used to stay
Speaker 1: at my grandparents house, there's like a guest bedroom in
Speaker 1: a guest bathroom. She would go into my grandparents and
Speaker 1: both had bathtubs. Go into my grandparents master bathroom, take
Speaker 1: bubble baths, leave the tub completely full of bubbles, bubbles
Speaker 1: all over the floor, and then just take all of
Speaker 1: their towels, use every single one of their towels, and
Speaker 1: then put them wherever she would end up going. Then
Speaker 1: when she she put all the towels, like on the
Speaker 1: kitchen table or whatever wherever she was done with her towels,
Speaker 1: And my grandma was like, oh, when you're going upstairs,
Speaker 1: could you bring the towels up and put them in
Speaker 1: the hamper. And she was like, oh, a wet towel
Speaker 1: is too heavy for me to Oh my god, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, but you were holding what's insane? It was
Speaker 1: so much ship. She was like what was her name?

Speaker 1: we were all like, oh s flay on Trey, you

Speaker 1: dad's driving. Oh, Mark, can you please slow down when
Speaker 1: you go over the speed bumps? I I don't leave

Speaker 1: of all, she she was like, I have to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, and I had to go also, So

Speaker 1: In this evening's final feature, Beyond Belief, meet Frank and
Speaker 1: Sadie Doyle. The toast of the upper crust headline is
Speaker 1: on the society pages, and then yes they see ghosts.
Speaker 1: Who cares what evil lurks in the hearts of men
Speaker 1: unless evils carrying the Martini trade. Darling joined the Doyles
Speaker 1: in tonight's stock episode If These Walls Could Talk. Our
Speaker 1: story begins in a penthouse apartment at the Faint Plaza Hotel,
Speaker 1: where Frank and Sadie Doyle are about to taste the
Speaker 1: unknown eggnog. Eggnog, here goes, Oh my, this tastes like
Speaker 1: the punchline of a joke in which a cow is
Speaker 1: walked into a bar. I care for neither the joke
Speaker 1: nor the drink. As you suspected, the recipe was clearly incorrect.
Speaker 1: How much bourbon do you think would be sufficient to
Speaker 1: knog an egg? All of it? I imagine, if not more,
Speaker 1: I can still taste it. Take this, darling the most
Speaker 1: A stringent martini. I know how to make for emergencies.
Speaker 1: Only you headed ready, didn't you? Any time? And uncertain
Speaker 1: mixers and all my boy scout training kicks in. I
Speaker 1: do so love a man in uniform that did the trick?
Speaker 1: Shall we investigate the rest of this gift basket from
Speaker 1: the vicars? No reason to punish the other gifts? What
Speaker 1: else have we got in here? Those small brown Man
Speaker 1: cookies they're red and white, walking sticks, chestnuts which are
Speaker 1: basically poisoned. Speaking of which freshen you drink? Look Frank
Speaker 1: of present? Shall I undress it only if you wish
Speaker 1: for me to be jealous of it? I do? Oh,
Speaker 1: this is truly quite something, Frank, exquisite, priceless. It's us,
Speaker 1: this photo of us from the Vickers Gala the night
Speaker 1: I drank Mr Vickers under the table. I remember that table.
Speaker 1: It held its liquor far better than the host. That
Speaker 1: must be why I remember it so fondly. And look
Speaker 1: at this picture's handsome frame. On the back, he's written
Speaker 1: to the most winsome couple in Manhattan. Merry Christmas, Christmas?
Speaker 1: Is that still happening? Oh, Frank, we didn't get Mr
Speaker 1: Vick as anything, and he caught us. Well, let us
Speaker 1: think of something to get him. He's got everything he
Speaker 1: could ever want, save as stronger tolerance. How about you
Speaker 1: fix us another couple of rounds to think by, and
Speaker 1: I'll hang this picture on that wall? So rugged, aren't I? Now?
Speaker 1: Where is that instrument used to hang things? A hammer? Yes?
Speaker 1: And that which is hammed a nail? Here you are,
Speaker 1: my rugged darling. All right, it's just like dispatching a
Speaker 1: small vampire. You line up the steak, in this case
Speaker 1: a nail. And who just screamed? You did? And who
Speaker 1: before that? I did? It was me your wall. These
Speaker 1: walls can talk as this one, just me, the west wall.
Speaker 1: You're my favorite wall, papered as you are with a tanned,
Speaker 1: prickled texture. Thank you. That's my skin? Or was it?
Speaker 1: Is the skin still is? It's just I that was
Speaker 1: I suppose I kind of am. So what precisely are
Speaker 1: you and what exactly were you on this now? But
Speaker 1: I was a man, human, a human man. The players
Speaker 1: a man said it was Ostrich. Nope, ah me, definitely me.
Speaker 1: I remember because it really hurt to get flay alive.
Speaker 1: Never get flight alive. I always say, not if you're
Speaker 1: can avoid it. How please, Mr Doyle. You could handle
Speaker 1: getting flayed any day of the week. You've been through
Speaker 1: so much ghosts, vampires. Hey, remember when all those genies
Speaker 1: came over vaguely? Oh you must remember you were right
Speaker 1: over there and you were all out of drinks. That
Speaker 1: seems both likely and unlikely. You found a bottle, but
Speaker 1: instead of Boobo did right there. I will not tolerate
Speaker 1: a flashback episode. I forbid it. We came right up
Speaker 1: to it, didn't we. Sorry. I know I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: said anything in the first place, but in my defense,
Speaker 1: I was hammered. I will most frequently used to fans,
Speaker 1: and I suppose I must apologize for taking a tool
Speaker 1: to you. Sorry, old Chap. My name is was Is Walton,
Speaker 1: which is a coincidence, I admit wally the wall, like
Speaker 1: when guy's name Taylor can really thread a needle? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Not really? You mean to tell
Speaker 1: me you've been watching, listening, spying this whole time. Would
Speaker 1: you preferred I made my presence known? I think I
Speaker 1: might have. I know I would have voyers by invitation only. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I meant to, but I guess I never found my moment.
Speaker 1: But now is as good a time as any, right,
Speaker 1: Not like you've got another oddity knocking on that door today? Right? Well?
Speaker 1: I require more drink, Frank, will you help me mix
Speaker 1: the martini by the east wall? Certainly? Don't think. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I like the non consensual presence of this
Speaker 1: sentient surface. I couldn't agree more love. What's next? A
Speaker 1: garrulous floor? No, thank you. We must find a way
Speaker 1: to move him off. Are you guys talking about me? No? No,
Speaker 1: yeah you are. Are you talking about exercising me from
Speaker 1: this wall? Why would you ever think that? I know you?
Speaker 1: That's what you do? As it turns out, we've decided
Speaker 1: to exercise you from our wall. But where will I go?
Speaker 1: Come again? The spirits you exercise, do you know what
Speaker 1: happens to them? It depends on them, Walton, unless we're upset.
Speaker 1: We tend to send them where they think they should go,
Speaker 1: based on their circumstances and perspective. So they get end
Speaker 1: up someplace terrible, like a swimming pool filled with wigs
Speaker 1: and mustard, only if that is their rather specific fears
Speaker 1: it is, and they believe that's what they deserve. I
Speaker 1: do then, yes, do you drink? You sound like you
Speaker 1: could use a drink hack. When I was a guy
Speaker 1: with hands and never had friends like you. Now the
Speaker 1: Frank Doyle is asking me to dance, drink to drink,
Speaker 1: and all I can do is stand here like some
Speaker 1: kind of some kind of I'm sure there's a word
Speaker 1: for it. Now, don't get too down. It was a
Speaker 1: good run. You've been part of our adventures all along, Walton,
Speaker 1: we just didn't know it. Yeah, it's been fun, are
Speaker 1: you It's been real fun. It's been so much fun.
Speaker 1: Please don't cry. I'm sorry I've made it awkward now
Speaker 1: only now, just now, you've made it awkward. To be
Speaker 1: awkward is to be aware. You're sure you don't want
Speaker 1: to drink. I don't have any kind of digestive track,
Speaker 1: but if you wouldn't mind not exercising me, I won't
Speaker 1: make a peep again. It'd be like I'm not even
Speaker 1: here as if I could forget. Perhaps said has the solution.
Speaker 1: You are the wall paper, not the wall itself. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm more of a skin condition than anything else. Really
Speaker 1: share we peel you off the wall, then, and do
Speaker 1: what with me? Deliver you somewhere nice? Do you fancy
Speaker 1: from Uda this time of year? They've got plenty of
Speaker 1: walls there on which to live out the rest of
Speaker 1: your bizarre consciousness. That's the thing. I'm not sure I
Speaker 1: want to be a wall anymore? Then what would you
Speaker 1: care to be? I'm basically leather. Instead of watching you,
Speaker 1: always watching you, I could be wrapped around you, Mrs Doyle,
Speaker 1: holding you. No, I do not like the sound of
Speaker 1: any of that, Nor do I mean neither neither watch
Speaker 1: you said nor how you said. No. But you know
Speaker 1: who would love a one of a kind coach for Christmas?
Speaker 1: Mr Vickers, to whom we owe a gift wonderful? May
Speaker 1: we despitch two birds with you? Walter? Frankly, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want some strange man to wear me.
Speaker 1: Vickers isn't strange. He merely traverses the globe and a
Speaker 1: boring old copper zeppelin filled with trunks and trunks of
Speaker 1: dull old money and everyday flammable gas. What's strange about that?
Speaker 1: Luxuriously on the edge. He calls himself the Thrillionaire, which
Speaker 1: is either ridiculous or admirable. Honestly, I go back and forth.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, you can be a coat or
Speaker 1: remain a wall, but you can't stay here. Fine, Mr Vickers, coat,
Speaker 1: it is here, we go. I'll just reach up and
Speaker 1: peel you at this corner. Walton, Oh my god, that's faithful,
Speaker 1: Oh dear, Maybe all in one go, like putting off
Speaker 1: a band head, but in a scenario in which it
Speaker 1: hurts only the band head. Just do it, Just do it.
Speaker 1: Don't talk about it, just do it. No, very, just one?
Speaker 1: Well what we needed a little nubrication? What is that
Speaker 1: a giblet for your glue? Whoa? Who said I couldn't
Speaker 1: drink me? Wrong? I was wrong? I apologious. Walton is
Speaker 1: feeling quite nicely, now, wouldn't you say free? I would
Speaker 1: describe Walton as supple. This is ours her dream come true?
Speaker 1: What is this on your skin? Walton? Some kind of marking.
Speaker 1: He found my tattoo. Tattoo, Were you a sailor? No,
Speaker 1: I was a member of a secret society. I should
Speaker 1: never have joined a secret society. I just knew i'd
Speaker 1: end up a wall they always do, you know, Frank,
Speaker 1: we've seen that tattoo before. I think i'd remember. Turn
Speaker 1: it upside down. Oh, this is from the Triangle Club.
Speaker 1: They tried to recruit me about ten years back, Frank,
Speaker 1: isn't it when the players is at an outside contractor.
Speaker 1: It gifted us the Ostrich wallpaper, and the wallpaper arrived
Speaker 1: after we concluded that the Triangle Club was nothing but
Speaker 1: a men's group for warlocks. Indeed, didn't we put a
Speaker 1: stop to their entire chapter? You eradicated the Essaceles Cauldron? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we helped them eradicate themselves. Oh you did. The club
Speaker 1: felt like a very wronged triangle. Mr Doyle determined to
Speaker 1: make it a right. Are you saying they've played you
Speaker 1: because of our actions? Walton? Oh no, I got flayed
Speaker 1: way before that for infidelity, and not even mine. You
Speaker 1: know Pythagorean warlock. Yeah, his wife is his infidelity us. Well,
Speaker 1: why would they ever save you for us. Oh, my
Speaker 1: punishment was to be a punishment. I honestly, I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to drain your souls. I'm what's called? Oh man, I
Speaker 1: can never remember, but it's bad. It's a word that
Speaker 1: means a patch of cursed skin that drains out souls. Um, God, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't remember. You guys know, No, Wally, have you
Speaker 1: been draining our souls? Please be honest, I would never know.
Speaker 1: I mean I was supposed to. I was gonna, but
Speaker 1: then I couldn't do it because I loved you guys
Speaker 1: right away. We are touched Walton. But if we send
Speaker 1: you as a coat to Mr Vickers, are you going
Speaker 1: to drain his soul? If he's not as charming as you?
Speaker 1: Maybe I suppose we can't send him to Mr Vickers
Speaker 1: then can we? Frank? No, Vickers is more eccentric than charming.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't do. Shall we send you to that warlock
Speaker 1: who flayed you and then try to destroy us? Is
Speaker 1: he still kicking? O Pythagorean? Let me see what are
Speaker 1: you seeing exactly? I'm expanding my consciousness outward all um,
Speaker 1: whatever I'm called can do this? Nah? Yeah, got him?
Speaker 1: He's alive, barely He and his wife and a nursing
Speaker 1: home in Queens. Would you enjoy to take his soul
Speaker 1: before it flips out of him? Oh? Boy, would I?
Speaker 1: And it would be nice to see angle again. Then
Speaker 1: we shall visit a nursing home. A nursing home in Queens.
Speaker 1: You do that for me? It's Christmas apparently, and you're
Speaker 1: like family. Family, We do not want to stay with us,
Speaker 1: which is just exactly who you deliver to a nursing
Speaker 1: home in Queens. Then it seems like we've got this
Speaker 1: triangle club situation squared away. I'll roll you right up now, Walton,
Speaker 1: oh Frank with Walton off to Queen's were without a
Speaker 1: gift for the brillionaire? What do you get for the
Speaker 1: man who has everything? You have it, I believe I have.
Speaker 1: For the man who has everything, you get him the
Speaker 1: one thing he doesn't have, nothing, nothing. It's perfect us
Speaker 1: like your eyes, my love, my eyes. Have you seen
Speaker 1: your nose? You want to talk about perfection? Look in
Speaker 1: a mirror, your nose, your ears, your lips, your lips,
Speaker 1: what about them? Put them right here? But darling, I'd
Speaker 1: get them all over your lips, yes you would, wouldn't
Speaker 1: do They're perfect Hey, guys, they can take it. Guys.
Speaker 1: You're on me. Guys, Hey guys, could you move me
Speaker 1: to the east side of the room. How he's kind
Speaker 1: of want to see what it's like over there? Oh God,
Speaker 1: if I could. I don't want to interrupting, guys, And
Speaker 1: so Frank and Sadie find themselves walking tall in the
Speaker 1: face of a talking wall. Revenge is a dish best
Speaker 1: left unserved to those married mediums unless they find out
Speaker 1: about it, get it drunk, and send it back water Unfold.
Speaker 1: Joined the Doyles next time, when they once again walk
Speaker 1: beyond belief in a horrifying Kronuka episode titled The Lady
Speaker 1: of the Latkas coded Deeple Diving, Deeple Diving Doom. This
Speaker 1: next clip comes from a new podcast that premiered appropriately
Speaker 1: the day after the mid term elections this year. It's
Speaker 1: called This Is What Democracy Pods Like, and it's hosted
Speaker 1: by comedians and progressive firebrands Billy Domino, Oscar Montoya, and
Speaker 1: Kate Friedman. Each week, Billy, Oscar and Kate trade hot
Speaker 1: takes on the weekend politics, take the temperature of the resistance,
Speaker 1: and interview unforgettable guests like young Al Gore death obsessed
Speaker 1: Dan Rather, sexy Wyoming politician Ross Tennison, and the head
Speaker 1: of nonpracticing Lesbians for Ted Cruz, Shyanne Dikes. In the
Speaker 1: following clip, Billy and Kate reads selections from their post
Speaker 1: midterms congressional erotic fan fiction Enjoy. We've got that Democratic
Speaker 1: House coming up in January. Uh, that'll be sworn in
Speaker 1: and Pelosi is likely going to take back that gavel.
Speaker 1: We'll see Marcia Fudge coming forward. Who knows. But we've
Speaker 1: been waiting for this for not even just two years
Speaker 1: since Trump was elected. We've been waiting for this for
Speaker 1: eight years now since and we've had some ideas in
Speaker 1: mind of what might happen when that house is taken back. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: ideas that excite us, ideas that make us whisper, ideas
Speaker 1: that make a scream. But Kate and I have written
Speaker 1: up some stuff Oscar didn't because Oscar was busy last night.
Speaker 1: Do what what were you busy with? Oscar? He has
Speaker 1: no answer for that. He's just touching his coffee. So
Speaker 1: it's going to save him somehow. It's not Kate, do
Speaker 1: you want to read, uh, your little story? Show us
Speaker 1: what's in your brain? What you're hoping for we get
Speaker 1: politically out of this house. Thank you for the invitation, Billy.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to have an outlet for my excitement
Speaker 1: about the house and my own sexual energy. M The
Speaker 1: air was heavily perfumed by fresh glisten in sampler baskets.
Speaker 1: Abby was so excited she could barely take a bite
Speaker 1: as Nancy Pelosi kept talking to her on and on
Speaker 1: and on. No one told me Congress was going to
Speaker 1: be this fun, Abby said as she took an ill
Speaker 1: informed drag, shooting her straight to the moon. I'm with
Speaker 1: all that nance, but I'm gonna be all up in
Speaker 1: that probe, giving my best. Oh face o o O,
Speaker 1: Adam Shift said, as a few people laughed. Not my best, sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: Adam said as he asked for the bill. Adam might
Speaker 1: have been her the woman, but this is and it's
Speaker 1: you're the woman telling you to shut the funk up,
Speaker 1: Nancy said, as all the ladies laughed together in a
Speaker 1: glorious way. Abby couldn't believe the night was all already over,
Speaker 1: or was it all of a sudden? It was February
Speaker 1: and the house was in full swing. New and extremely
Speaker 1: strict gun background checks were in play, and community policing
Speaker 1: totally took a turn for the best and across the
Speaker 1: country was totally responsible behind the peaceful burnings of excess
Speaker 1: guns around the country. Maroon five and had even played
Speaker 1: at a recent gun burning event in Austin, and it
Speaker 1: was dope as fuck. Everything was coming up Democrat. As
Speaker 1: they were about to break for lunch, Nancy Pelosi let
Speaker 1: everyone know that Trump was stepping down as president because
Speaker 1: Greg Pence got a message from God that it was
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. The White House was about
Speaker 1: to instill the House of Reps as one really big
Speaker 1: new president. Here here, everyone shouted, Abby, squiled, and delight.
Speaker 1: She couldn't believe that she was part of an even
Speaker 1: bigger moment in history that happened in record time. Just
Speaker 1: as she was about to call her dad and tell
Speaker 1: him the good news, she felt another naked, unsucked foot
Speaker 1: fall upon hers. When she looked up, she was shocked
Speaker 1: at who was on the other end of the leg
Speaker 1: grazing hers. Oh my gosh, Oh yeah, that sounds like
Speaker 1: a walk around the block after that one, Thank you
Speaker 1: for letting me get some of the his thoughts and feelings.
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone knows that the key to erotica is
Speaker 1: specifics and Chili's Alexandria Hampton in these are all things
Speaker 1: that that makes that make parts of my body shout.
Speaker 1: That's so nice. Thank you. It's so nice to have
Speaker 1: like a warm reception to something that, like you write
Speaker 1: in such a piece of you and it's so vulnerable
Speaker 1: and like you know your question like did I put
Speaker 1: too many time jumps in there? Is it making sense? Like?
Speaker 1: And it's just it just feels really nice. Guys, thank you.
Speaker 1: We are not about king shaming. We are about kink
Speaker 1: celebration and matter the kink, no matter if it's dangerous
Speaker 1: to others. Uh. You know, you need to do what
Speaker 1: you need to do in order to express yourself in
Speaker 1: your body. Wow. Okay, well, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: sharing this work of art. Um Billy um Let's hear
Speaker 1: yours all. Admit. Mind doesn't have as a night time jumps.
Speaker 1: Mind takes place in sort of more in real time.
Speaker 1: But that's interesting in its own way. Maybe that's equally erotic.
Speaker 1: After a grueling eight weeks of auditions and experimental work
Speaker 1: shopping where several congress people lost their lives due to
Speaker 1: trust falls, today everyone will learn the committee appointments. Quickly,
Speaker 1: the shouts start to rise above the din as excitement
Speaker 1: fills the room with sexy feelings. Mitch tepidly walked towards
Speaker 1: the corkboard. What committee will he be on? Energy and
Speaker 1: Commerce Yearbook? Everyone sees Mitch walking, clothes, his neck glistening
Speaker 1: in the indoor breeze. The crowd parts and hush falls
Speaker 1: over a hush like that time Mr Bayner cried during
Speaker 1: the Earth They Assembly. No one wants to be near Mitch.
Speaker 1: When he finds out the news, Mitch scrolls the list
Speaker 1: with his sexy hot finger. Commerce, no veterans Affairs, no
Speaker 1: PEP squad and agriculture, not even that one. Mitch is sad.
Speaker 1: A tear starts to trickle down his cheek as Tedloo
Speaker 1: and Elijah Cummings make out by the junior lockers, get
Speaker 1: a room, shouts Jody Urns, who her headgear covered in
Speaker 1: four rage stickers. Adam and Alisha do not get a room.
Speaker 1: They just keep sucking neck, their lips glistening in the
Speaker 1: indoor breeze. Match is about to give up and go home,
Speaker 1: thinking this new Congress is one he won't be a
Speaker 1: part of you'll just have to go home and kill
Speaker 1: himself like he always does. But just then he sees
Speaker 1: one tiny list at the very bottom of the corkboard.
Speaker 1: It has his name on it, but it's the only name.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, more, give us more. Billy was too short.
Speaker 1: Holy crap. If you want more, go to your local
Speaker 1: library and write this there on a public computer. Is
Speaker 1: it a published work that? I don't know? What? Do
Speaker 1: you call WordPress? Is word press publishing or not? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not really, I'm I'm fully steamed up.
Speaker 1: Really is it legally published? I don't know. Is this
Speaker 1: in the Library of Congress? Yes? I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know what weight you want to give that?
Speaker 1: Guess what. Forever Dog has a baseball podcast and it's
Speaker 1: about more than baseball, and it's really really good. It's
Speaker 1: called Three Swings, and on each episode, long suffering baseball
Speaker 1: fan Ria Butcher reinvents America's pastime with radically sensible thoughts
Speaker 1: on baseball, history, culture, gender, race, politics, and more. John
Speaker 1: Lingen over a Dead Spin hit the nail on the
Speaker 1: head when he described Three Swings like this for Butcher,
Speaker 1: as for everyone else that cares about the game. Baseball
Speaker 1: is an escape, a beautifully pointless hobby that nevertheless connects
Speaker 1: us to our friends, family, city, and youth. But Three
Speaker 1: Swings is a baseball show for an anxious age, one
Speaker 1: where everything feels connected and ambiently doomed. As such, it
Speaker 1: has become a journey of a host's self reflection and
Speaker 1: self reinvention. The ragged optimism of that evolution is always visible.
Speaker 1: Well put, couldn't agree more. Please enjoy the following clip
Speaker 1: from Three Swings. We've got a big trade, which is
Speaker 1: Daniel Murphy to the Cubs. Uh. Daniel Murphy's out oken
Speaker 1: homophobia began when he was with the Mets. Billy Bean,
Speaker 1: former MLB player and current inclusion ambassador, was visiting the
Speaker 1: Mets and spring training to share his experiences as a
Speaker 1: closeted professional athlete and to discuss strategies to the MLB
Speaker 1: to become more inclusive and accepting of gay athletes, executives
Speaker 1: and fans, um and just to put a pin in
Speaker 1: this there. Billy Bean has since said that he retired
Speaker 1: from baseball because he did not feel he could come
Speaker 1: out and continue to play baseball, and he needed to
Speaker 1: come out. Um So I think that's an important thing
Speaker 1: to keep in mind when discussing Billy Bean. Um. I
Speaker 1: think it's always important to keep a timeline of these things,
Speaker 1: regardless of what it is UM in mind, which you
Speaker 1: could also consider to be context. That he retired early
Speaker 1: from uh, not just the sport that he loved and
Speaker 1: something he was uh you know, uh blessed I guess
Speaker 1: to to be able to do um. He also had
Speaker 1: to retire from work QUI his job, essentially so that
Speaker 1: he could be his true self. And I don't think
Speaker 1: we think about that often. You know, we think about
Speaker 1: we look at you know, the Internet, and everybody's so
Speaker 1: pro l g B t Q plus I A, like,
Speaker 1: everybody's so pro everything, and everybody thinks everything's fine now.
Speaker 1: But like, you gotta think about these things where yeah,
Speaker 1: he's all over the place and they made this position
Speaker 1: for him, but he that's because he had to retire
Speaker 1: so that he could be who he is. And that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. You know, that's kind of a big problem.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I'm more concerned about that that
Speaker 1: people don't have to quit their jobs or be fired
Speaker 1: from their jobs than I am about you know, whether
Speaker 1: or not a team sells a rainbow flag shirt and
Speaker 1: their pro shop. You know, it's one thing is making
Speaker 1: money and then the other thing is preventing a human
Speaker 1: being from doing a job. You know. So I think
Speaker 1: that both things are important, but one might be a
Speaker 1: little bit more important for me. Um so. In response
Speaker 1: to Billy Bean's visit, Murphy first called the idea of
Speaker 1: forward thinking, before proceeding to say that because of his
Speaker 1: Christian beliefs, he disagreed with beans lifestyle. The full quote
Speaker 1: is this, I do disagree with the fact that Billy
Speaker 1: is a homosexual, something very specific about Christians using the
Speaker 1: word homosexual. But whatever. Anyway, that doesn't mean I can't
Speaker 1: still invest in him and get to know him. I
Speaker 1: don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should
Speaker 1: completely shut the door on investing in them. In a
Speaker 1: relational aspect, I would say, you can still accept them,
Speaker 1: but I do disagree with the lifestyle one Maybe as
Speaker 1: a Christian, Oh sorry, new sentence. Maybe as a Christian
Speaker 1: we haven't been articulate enough in describing what our actual
Speaker 1: stances on homosexuality. We love the people, we disagree with
Speaker 1: the lifestyle. That's the way I would describe it. For me,
Speaker 1: it's the same way that there are aspects of my
Speaker 1: life that I'm trying to surrender to Christ. That's a
Speaker 1: g eight deal of many things, like my pride, which
Speaker 1: I think is such an interesting choice of words, and
Speaker 1: I'll get back to that. I just think that as
Speaker 1: a believer trying to articulate it in a way that says,
Speaker 1: just because I disagree with the lifestyle doesn't mean I'm
Speaker 1: not going to speak to Billy Bean every time he
Speaker 1: walks through the door. That's not love. That's not love
Speaker 1: at all. Now, I have to admit that in when
Speaker 1: this happened, I had just started getting back into baseball
Speaker 1: in was the first World Series that I watched since
Speaker 1: probably two thousand six, um, because I really was out
Speaker 1: of sports for a long time, men's professional sports for
Speaker 1: a long time. And I found out about this stuff
Speaker 1: mostly via like TV clips and then maybe the internet,
Speaker 1: but I don't really know. It was a combination. And
Speaker 1: I didn't read the whole quote, and I didn't hear
Speaker 1: the whole quote, and I'll be honest, I just kind
Speaker 1: of saw homophobic baseball player and went funk that guy.
Speaker 1: And that's on me. Number One. I have in the past,
Speaker 1: like I don't know. Year of this year really tried
Speaker 1: to slow down and not just like I'm gonna say, retweet,
Speaker 1: but I I it's a metaphor for everything, which is
Speaker 1: everything has turned into such like click bait, where it's
Speaker 1: boiled down to this essential nature that is an attempt
Speaker 1: to get your attention and also inspire either rage, panic,
Speaker 1: or happiness. And so I have tried really hard to
Speaker 1: if there's something that I see and it inspires any
Speaker 1: of those things in me, and it is on a
Speaker 1: website that is a real thing, I try to take
Speaker 1: a moment to read it and see if that's what
Speaker 1: they're actually saying, you know, because I've seen so many
Speaker 1: news headlines or tweet headlines that really do not line
Speaker 1: up with what the actual article is saying, and it's
Speaker 1: it's so uh disparaging and so frustrating and so toxic
Speaker 1: for everything that, um, you really owe it to literally
Speaker 1: yourself to pay more full attention to the things that
Speaker 1: you want to comment on. You know, Like I both
Speaker 1: bristle and completely agree with the idea that there is
Speaker 1: outrage culture, because I think that for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: outrage has become the new PC culture, and like all
Speaker 1: of these things are like a toss away, just a
Speaker 1: way of diminishing someone saying, hey, stop treating us badly.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there is also people who
Speaker 1: just jump on board with a thing and act like
Speaker 1: it's the craziest, worst thing that's ever happened. Let's all
Speaker 1: burn everything down. And so there's got to be a
Speaker 1: middle ground here of going, wait a minute, what is
Speaker 1: this actually about? What is this person actually trying to say?
Speaker 1: And so I'm actually grateful to the fact that this
Speaker 1: guy was traded somewhere that we're all going back and
Speaker 1: looking at this again because I think that there's a
Speaker 1: lot here, because I haven't even gotten to the fan
Speaker 1: reaction to the fact that Daniel Murphy is playing in Chicago. Um,
Speaker 1: just to go back to his quote, I actually, um,
Speaker 1: I actually think that what he is trying to get at,
Speaker 1: while I disagree, because I don't think you can disagree
Speaker 1: with a human beings existence, because he is able to
Speaker 1: as a non LGBTQ person and as a his type
Speaker 1: of Christian person with his belief system, is able to
Speaker 1: see his lifestyle as a norm or an acceptable one,
Speaker 1: or following Christ or whatever or neutral he is in
Speaker 1: the sort of neutral position to be able to say,
Speaker 1: you know, essentially, hate the sin, not the cinner, and
Speaker 1: it's a sort of evolved position from hate the sin
Speaker 1: not the center, to say I disagree with your lifestyle,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean I'm not going to engage with
Speaker 1: you as a human being. And the reason I'm even
Speaker 1: saying this, and I hope that all of you who
Speaker 1: probably disagree with me right now understand that I am
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old queer person who has lived
Speaker 1: their life as a gender nonconforming UH person and also
Speaker 1: a butch lesbian and also all of the things that
Speaker 1: I've been in my life, I have not been accepted.
Speaker 1: I have been treated like shit simply for the way
Speaker 1: I exist on this planet. So please keep that in
Speaker 1: mind when I say all this stuff. I am somebody
Speaker 1: that has I don't like Daniel Murphy as a player.
Speaker 1: I don't even like his I don't like his style
Speaker 1: of play, but I have to be very honest about
Speaker 1: the way this guy is talking that I actually think
Speaker 1: that someone speaking this way about that is someone that
Speaker 1: you could have a conversation with and say, I get
Speaker 1: what you're saying, but this is why I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1: Can we have a conversation about this? Do you realize
Speaker 1: that as a human being you cannot separate my existence
Speaker 1: from my human nous And the fact that I am
Speaker 1: queer is not a lifestyle. It is in existence. It
Speaker 1: is not something that I put on because I feel
Speaker 1: like it. Moving now from the baseball diamond to the
Speaker 1: farthest reaches of outer space, we arrive at Treks in

Speaker 1: like a I'm not working around with two dicks for
Speaker 1: for for glow average dick. I mean, I've like people
Speaker 1: who have three sums don't have great dicks. I want
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, right, that's why they need to help
Speaker 1: as a threesome expert. I tell you know. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: I get there. I get there. He's there already, And
Speaker 1: I mean like like Clark Kent, like six three, real broad,
Speaker 1: real like tall, dark and handsome, just like a night
Speaker 1: like a like a retired chipping Dale. He's like fucking
Speaker 1: buff and he's like hot. You are painting the photo here.
Speaker 1: I mean this man is just like his hands like
Speaker 1: fit across my entire back. Like he's huge. He's a
Speaker 1: huge at beautiful man who like, yeah, he's like a
Speaker 1: giant and I'm just like like your yeah. But if
Speaker 1: he's that big and that fine, I would assume that
Speaker 1: means he either doesn't speak English or he's very dumb. Right, Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean no, I definitely because I once a day
Speaker 1: did a male model, so I was like perfect right
Speaker 1: at my alley. They don't like no words, I mean
Speaker 1: not seeing a picture of him. He's good looking, but
Speaker 1: he don't look dumb. No, he's actually not. He's actually
Speaker 1: very smart and smart. I can see the way he
Speaker 1: parted sucking hair, he has a hat, he has arts
Speaker 1: his air and smooth, he's like slick. He's like very
Speaker 1: You should have led with the fact that he parts Clark.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Superman was parent that Clark can
Speaker 1: had glasses, flies through the air, never loses his part.
Speaker 1: So what does the girl look like? So she's late
Speaker 1: and we are like, and I was like, which is
Speaker 1: a terrible move for her, because if I bringing my
Speaker 1: man and meet another bitch, Oh, I'm getting there early,
Speaker 1: you're pulling up together. No, no, no, I'm getting there early.
Speaker 1: I'm but together. Right where was she that he got
Speaker 1: there first, meet me early. I'm gonna get there early.
Speaker 1: Talk to the way to listen, another bitch is coming in,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's gonna be messy. So well she gets
Speaker 1: oh my god, toname is really? Why is it so
Speaker 1: violent for you? And it was like, I'm under the well,
Speaker 1: I'm told that it's her idea. The whole thing is
Speaker 1: her idea. That means he's about to break up with
Speaker 1: her and she's panicking, right right, that's what that is.
Speaker 1: Why you just ruin the end of the story. So well,
Speaker 1: that's what hell that. But I'm no, I'm saying that's
Speaker 1: a fact. Like if you were like, yo, I'll do
Speaker 1: whatever you want, so you could say it would be
Speaker 1: a threesome. Well, yeah, this is why I don't This
Speaker 1: is why I don't care about how men feel I'm
Speaker 1: not a desperate hail Mary pass. To keep my man
Speaker 1: is to bring another chicken to the situation. I ever,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, if you want to go, go And
Speaker 1: also I'm never going to bring someone into my situation.
Speaker 1: I'm going out. I'm going out. I'm going out for food,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, because i want to
Speaker 1: go home. I don't want these people in my home.
Speaker 1: I don't want them in my space. I don't want like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to never see these people again. I
Speaker 1: don't even want them to be from this coast and
Speaker 1: they're not look at look at God. In addition to
Speaker 1: the thrilling Adventure Hour, we also had the privilege this
Speaker 1: year of working with Ben Blacker on another one of
Speaker 1: his podcasts, The Writer's Panel, which celebrated it's four hundred
Speaker 1: episode this year with an amazing live show at Dynasty
Speaker 1: Typewriter in Los Angeles. The Writer's Panel has one of
Speaker 1: the most impressive back catalogs you will ever find, featuring
Speaker 1: in depth interviews with Vince Gilligan, Amy Sherman, Palladino, Jordan
Speaker 1: Peel and Keegan, Michael Key, Damon Lindeloft, and many more
Speaker 1: television luminaries. The writer's panel is the definitive guide to
Speaker 1: our golden age of TV, and I hope you enjoy
Speaker 1: this highlight from the Live FO episode, which featured an
Speaker 1: incredible all of writers and show winners, including Caroline Drees,
Speaker 1: LaToya Morgan, Alexander Cunningham, Monica Breen, Christine Boylan, Chernold Edwards,
Speaker 1: Angela King, and Jennifer Hutchinson. When it seems, it seems
Speaker 1: to me that a lot of the request for free
Speaker 1: work come from a place of fear on the buyer's side.
Speaker 1: It's we we need to feel secure in paying you
Speaker 1: to do this thing, So do all the free stuff first. Well,
Speaker 1: what's hard is when you go into pitch and I
Speaker 1: would love to hear from every everybody here who's like
Speaker 1: sold all this stuff, because I've sold certain things and
Speaker 1: something's going some things don't. But they want a This
Speaker 1: is such a Tony Robbins thing of like a need
Speaker 1: for a need for a need for like certainty and
Speaker 1: a need for adventure at the same time, and that's
Speaker 1: what they want. They want certainty. They want to know
Speaker 1: you have all the secrets of the universe in your
Speaker 1: iPod or in your cards or in your head however
Speaker 1: your pitch. But they also want to be enticed, so
Speaker 1: they want you to tell them everything. But they don't
Speaker 1: want you to tell them everything because they want to
Speaker 1: they want to be seduced, and and that's important too.
Speaker 1: So like the last I've been back and forth wearing
Speaker 1: on a couple of pitches the last couple of months
Speaker 1: and trying to find that level of I'm the kind
Speaker 1: of person who I will like, arrest you for eight
Speaker 1: hours and tell you every single detail of this whole world.
Speaker 1: And nobody wants that obviously, right um. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, the ten minute pitches, like I haven't even
Speaker 1: gotten into the part where the angels come down, just
Speaker 1: you know, just give me five more minutes, you know.
Speaker 1: So I mean, the balance of what do you keep
Speaker 1: and what do what do you not keep? And walking
Speaker 1: into a room where if you're pitching on a book,
Speaker 1: you have to assume no one's read that book, even
Speaker 1: though the people you're bringing with you, the producers, will
Speaker 1: have read it and they know it and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you know the author. Maybe that's going great podcast.
Speaker 1: They probably heard it, right, But they I mean, and
Speaker 1: to be fair, if they have to read a lot
Speaker 1: and they all have families, and it's you know, I
Speaker 1: get that, but I don't get it. I want them
Speaker 1: to have read more, but I never expected you know,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. So, yeah, what's the balance for you
Speaker 1: guys of of like of like seduction and enticement versus listen,
Speaker 1: here is a chart of five to seven seasons, and
Speaker 1: here are the points we're gonna hit. And it's gonna
Speaker 1: spike on Twitter season four because of this. Just trust me, Like,
Speaker 1: how do we do that well in the details that
Speaker 1: you think are important versus the ones that are important
Speaker 1: for telling that story? I mean, well, first of all,
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't help if they've listened to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I found that, like I had better pitches on Nightville
Speaker 1: when maybe they weren't as familiar with it because they
Speaker 1: have expectations if they listen to it, they think this
Speaker 1: is gonna be who you're following, this is going to
Speaker 1: be what the show is. And then if you don't
Speaker 1: meet those then you're not you're not selling to that place. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a hard balanced And this is something I consistently
Speaker 1: struggle with. I am the person where I go in
Speaker 1: and and like it's never the right amount of detail.
Speaker 1: Like if I overdo it, my agents like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: you really apparently gave a lot of detail. And then
Speaker 1: if I underdo it, it's like, oh, they want you
Speaker 1: to come back, and it's so hard balance. And so
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I have found is because
Speaker 1: you're right, they want to know everything, but they don't
Speaker 1: want to know anything. What they really want to know
Speaker 1: is do you know everything? And and if you can
Speaker 1: communicate that to them, then I think that's when you
Speaker 1: have a more sort of successful moment um. And so
Speaker 1: when it comes to details, I try to do a
Speaker 1: thing where like there are specific details that I highlight
Speaker 1: that are important to me that I feel like I
Speaker 1: can pitch really well because they're meaningful for me. And
Speaker 1: then they're like, oh she has details, there must be
Speaker 1: more details. Um, It's not always successful, but I think
Speaker 1: that's the thing is like, do you have a point
Speaker 1: of view that's really strong? Can we can we invest
Speaker 1: in you even if we don't have it all in
Speaker 1: our heads? Monica, you were not in your I mean,
Speaker 1: I have no answer to this because I struggle with
Speaker 1: it all the time. And the one the most successful
Speaker 1: pitch I had, which was midnight, Texas. I walk in
Speaker 1: and give them thirty minutes of a small town story
Speaker 1: and it was based on a book that no one
Speaker 1: had read, and I was They looked at me and
Speaker 1: so turn around Monica, and I turned around and there's
Speaker 1: a picture of Jamie Alexander's back with all the tattoos
Speaker 1: on it, you know, and they're like, make it that
Speaker 1: and you gotta deal and they walk out. I'm getting
Speaker 1: high fives from the producer. I'm like, what just happened.
Speaker 1: I didn't picture though at all, Like it's a small
Speaker 1: town soap opera? What is what is this? And then
Speaker 1: before they picked up the show because I was like,
Speaker 1: they're never making the show, so I got the pilot. Man,
Speaker 1: it was delightful. I had a really lovely time. I
Speaker 1: was in New Mexico. It was really pretty and um,
Speaker 1: I was like, no one's ever doing the show. There's
Speaker 1: a talking cat, there's angels. I don't even looks crazy town.
Speaker 1: But it was a small town soap with supernaturals. And
Speaker 1: I get called in It's like, can you make it
Speaker 1: a Demon of the Week because if you can, you
Speaker 1: gotta sale. And I'm like, what did I pitch? Why
Speaker 1: did I just tell me what you want. This is
Speaker 1: to make your own adventure. So like, I don't I
Speaker 1: have answers because it was successful, it worked, and the
Speaker 1: show as wack could do as it was got a
Speaker 1: second season. So in a strange way, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: all right, let me just go into this like a
Speaker 1: little you know, rabbit hole and just figure out what's happening,
Speaker 1: because no, no, no one knows. Like that's what's amazing
Speaker 1: to me that no one this is NBC. This is NBC, right,
Speaker 1: and what what year is this? This is like two
Speaker 1: years ago. This is like right after we funked up
Speaker 1: on Constantina did a serialized Yeah. Yeah, And they were like,
Speaker 1: can't you just make it like grim? Can't you just
Speaker 1: can't an exorcism of the week. I was like, put,
Speaker 1: all exorcisms are kind of gonna look the same if
Speaker 1: we do that. But you nailed it, so I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was just it was you worked very
Speaker 1: hard on your pitches, and you've worked very hard on
Speaker 1: creating a world in your mind that you understanding, you
Speaker 1: know how to break the story, you know what the
Speaker 1: emotional arcs are, and then you just get thrown these
Speaker 1: things make it this and you're like, all right, And
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, part of it for me, as
Speaker 1: I always think of this job a little bit like
Speaker 1: a project runway challenge. Like it's like, go to the
Speaker 1: store and make a gown and like and I feel
Speaker 1: like that keeps me sane, because otherwise I will go
Speaker 1: crazy when they tell me to make a gown out
Speaker 1: of out of construction debris. But that's, you know, part
Speaker 1: of the front of the job. It's like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's make a gown. I guess from A two Z.
Speaker 1: We have finally arrived at the end of the Forever
Speaker 1: Dog Roster with Alexis gees Als. Innovative interview podcast is
Speaker 1: All Good. On each episode of All Good, Alexis interviews
Speaker 1: a fellow comedian, entertainer, or influencer about their life and career,
Speaker 1: and she also interviews one of their parents or siblings,
Speaker 1: or best friends or colleagues to get the real story
Speaker 1: behind their public persona. The interviews are then cut together
Speaker 1: in a point counterpoint fashion that makes All Good really
Speaker 1: unlike any other interview podcast you've ever heard. In the
Speaker 1: following clip, our last clip, Alexis talks to comedian and
Speaker 1: director Bo Burnham and his sister Sam Enjoy. I was
Speaker 1: always incredibly, incredibly competitive, and I still am competitive, and
Speaker 1: I have to unlearn that stuff, but I feel like
Speaker 1: a deeply, deeply competitive person, and I've only Yeah, so
Speaker 1: did you always see him kind of going into entertainment
Speaker 1: or what was that prediction on your end as to
Speaker 1: where he would end up career wise? Um, Honestly, I
Speaker 1: just always knew he was going to be great. Like
Speaker 1: I still tell him to this day when he last
Speaker 1: in my face that like, if this doesn't work, he
Speaker 1: can just go be a brain surgeon. And I truly
Speaker 1: believe he could. Like I really think he's just like
Speaker 1: that start and great and everything. He's kind of just
Speaker 1: he's kind of just awesome and everything he does. Again,
Speaker 1: it sounds that sounds like I'm getting weird. I really
Speaker 1: think that that's Yeah, that's that's the bess untrue and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's part of her her and my mother there's want
Speaker 1: to tell me that all the time is actually a
Speaker 1: burden that I'm I've been trying to shake since I
Speaker 1: was three years old, which is like, you guys have
Speaker 1: to stop telling me I'm the smartest, greatest boy that's
Speaker 1: ever lived from the time I'm too or then I
Speaker 1: try to seek that from the world and anything less
Speaker 1: than that is obliteration to me. Um. So now I
Speaker 1: just not in smile when they tell me that. But
Speaker 1: it's very sweet. I know that. I know she actually
Speaker 1: does believe that, which is very sweet. Um, but it's
Speaker 1: very not true. Um. But once you started doing the plays,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, you have to keep
Speaker 1: doing there. You just have to. I mean he was
Speaker 1: so good at acting and so creative. And then once
Speaker 1: you started performing um and doing the comedy stuff, just
Speaker 1: everything that he writes just feels Yeah. I mean, right
Speaker 1: when you got started, it felt like, oh, of course,
Speaker 1: this is what you need to be doing. She also
Speaker 1: mentioned that you at one point got really into magic.
Speaker 1: Sure what sort of sparked that. Probably just being a
Speaker 1: loser and thinking, why not just complete the vision of
Speaker 1: myself with them, you know. I mean, I'm already down
Speaker 1: here so unappealing to women and my peers, I might
Speaker 1: as well start doing magic now. UM. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just liked it. It was probably performative. There's also
Speaker 1: something fun about it. I also like math and tricky
Speaker 1: puzzling things, and there's like magic sort of blend the
Speaker 1: world of like theater and performance and puzzles and again
Speaker 1: just repulsion to everyone around you. You know it Also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know you do you feel like you were
Speaker 1: repulsed or people were repulsed by you? I think it
Speaker 1: was no. And you know, I was somewhere where it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, probably the coolest kid in class was doing magic. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I felt I felt on cool, not on cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean a dork that words that words become something else. Um.
Speaker 1: I was just like a passionate little dork. Okay, So
Speaker 1: you have like your specific interests that you were very into. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like feat or and magic. And I have friends
Speaker 1: where I look back, I'm like, men, you were cool
Speaker 1: like you you are cool at twelve. Um, it's not
Speaker 1: not about being cool like you were cool necessarily to
Speaker 1: those around you. Um yeah I would. I would just
Speaker 1: always uh just had eccentric interesting. Yeah. I think there
Speaker 1: is something cool about being a young person and liking
Speaker 1: what you like and not being you know, concerned if
Speaker 1: that's necessarily like the cool thing. I think that gets
Speaker 1: cooler and cooler in hindsight as you get older. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh I was confident. Yes, yes, yeah, I think so. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, in hindsight, I wish hindsight did did did
Speaker 1: worked on magic it work. Bengali decks and and foam
Speaker 1: rabbits are not really helping. Um, you know, you're not
Speaker 1: getting any better in the rear view. But you know,
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun. And it's like, I
Speaker 1: guess I I sort of understand where you're coming from
Speaker 1: as well, because I am an only child and both
Speaker 1: of my parents just think I'm the bee's knees. They
Speaker 1: just love it. They think I'm great. And then so
Speaker 1: when I go into things, I'm like, so that was great,
Speaker 1: it was great. And it's like, don't I want everyone
Speaker 1: to think that I'm in the world is not your parents? Yeah,
Speaker 1: brutal and no, but it really is. No. But I'm
Speaker 1: not even saying that, like, h that's realization for me,
Speaker 1: and like it's it's it's a realization for a lot
Speaker 1: of people in I think we're vaguely the same generation,
Speaker 1: like on either side of it, and like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: we we do need a lot of It's it's it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily that the love and the and the affirmation
Speaker 1: is the issue. It's that the lack of the other,
Speaker 1: Like there's some value in having like a psychological thing
Speaker 1: to overcome to look at your parents and go I'll
Speaker 1: show you and like run out into the world to
Speaker 1: prove something wrong. Uh, and to not have anything to
Speaker 1: push back against and to feel like it's hard. It's not.
Speaker 1: It's not more difficult, but it has another type of problem. Um,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's it's it's a strange thing to
Speaker 1: have the privilege that sounds like we did, of of
Speaker 1: being supported. That concludes the best of Forever Dog. You
