Speaker 3: Okay, bye, podcast starts now. I feel so rigid today. Wow? Sorry, no,
Speaker 3: go ahead, cut me off.
Speaker 4: What were you gonna say?
Speaker 3: Nothing of importance?
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean I don't have a momentum, a
Speaker 2: flow that just naturally comes.
Speaker 3: Don't put your rigidity on me. That's true.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: I actually was I was cutting your cutting off your
Speaker 3: wings because I was I was hearing you you. I
Speaker 3: was like, you're about to be a superstar on Mike.
Speaker 3: I can't have you overshadow me. So I'm gonna cut
Speaker 3: in and say I'm feeling rigid. That is wild. I
Speaker 3: can't believe you would do that. Tell me more about
Speaker 3: your rigidity. Do you know when you have those days
Speaker 3: where you're not moving in a in a flow based
Speaker 3: way and you're moving more in a kind of action
Speaker 3: figure based right angle way. Yeah, I and and now
Speaker 3: I'm aware of it, and I'm and it's only making
Speaker 3: me move more in a Barbie hands feet permanently in
Speaker 3: heels kind of way. And this started like when you
Speaker 3: woke up this morning. Yeah, I you know this studio
Speaker 3: I'm lucky enough to say is approximately thirteen minute walk
Speaker 3: from my apartment. I woke up, I started walking. I said,
Speaker 3: uh oh, I'm not really runway walking right now. I'm
Speaker 3: more so kind of like.
Speaker 4: A pr girl with a clipboard.
Speaker 3: You know. It's like everyone else is a celebrity and
Speaker 3: I'm the one ugly one.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, I have to say I've seen you walk
Speaker 2: stif flee before What the hell? I know what it
Speaker 2: looks like when you're not in your flow state.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what but you have also seen in my flow stage.
Speaker 2: Of course it's you you glide on the sidewalks, but
Speaker 2: when you when you go g I Joe mode, and.
Speaker 3: It's no, it's crazy because it's also like, at this point,
Speaker 3: shouldn't I be able to fike it?
Speaker 4: So also should I be able to know?
Speaker 3: Like this is just my default state of walking?
Speaker 2: But when you think about what is my default state
Speaker 2: of walking, you've already lost.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling? I have to say the complete opposite.
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2: I was seven minutes late to arriving, but that's because
Speaker 2: I'm lost in the building. Yeah, but up until then
Speaker 2: everything was working so perfectly.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: You biked here, I city biked.
Speaker 2: I took the e bike option, which is just a room,
Speaker 2: delightful room room, and like you know, I go to
Speaker 2: the station.
Speaker 3: There's only one e bike left. That's perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm riding the time. It says I'm going to
Speaker 2: get here at ten twenty eight. That's perfect. That's enough
Speaker 2: time to be lost in the building for a moment,
Speaker 2: and then I get to the City Bike station right outside,
Speaker 2: just just one spot to park it. I was like,
Speaker 2: this is insane. This city provides this is a big
Speaker 2: city bank.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you to our partners at City Bank for providing
Speaker 2: a space for me two bike.
Speaker 3: Thank you to City Bank for providing the space. Have
Speaker 3: I told you about that? One time? Someone I know
Speaker 3: posted Levi's spon con and said, thank you Levi's for
Speaker 3: making the space. It's actually one of the most amazing things.
Speaker 3: But the most amazing series of words I've ever seen
Speaker 3: is strung together in a sentence, thank you Levi's for
Speaker 3: making It's so amazing to imagine Levi's making the space.
Speaker 3: I have to be honest.
Speaker 2: Was it sort of a coffe situation where they were
Speaker 2: just like, didn't finish but hits No.
Speaker 3: I think it was like that was the copying me this.
Speaker 3: I think even worse, it was not suggestive copy. I
Speaker 3: think this person was like, I got it, thank you
Speaker 3: Levi's for making the space. Wow. Yeah, So to go
Speaker 3: back to City Bank, thank you for making the space.
Speaker 3: Thank you for making the space. And you know, we
Speaker 3: had an amazing night last night. We did have an
Speaker 3: amazing Oh well, I mean I didn't have an amazing night.
Speaker 3: Uh oh what happened? Well, you know why I left
Speaker 3: the event? What I was promised that I would see
Speaker 3: share perform. Oh and she didn't. And she and I
Speaker 3: didn't get into the event.
Speaker 4: Oh, you didn't get into the event.
Speaker 1: So we I get a text.
Speaker 3: I am old enough that I should know not to
Speaker 3: trust things like this. But I get a text. It
Speaker 3: says I'm at an event. The rumor is that Share
Speaker 3: is going to perform. I could probably get a plus one.
Speaker 3: I said, okay, but like sounds difficult. Are you sure
Speaker 3: you want me to? You know, are you sure I
Speaker 3: should come take an uber to Midtown on the off
Speaker 3: chance that I will get in and see share perform.
Speaker 3: They're like, you're on the list. I come, Like the
Speaker 3: door is a little chaotic, but like you're on the
Speaker 3: list and you'll get in.
Speaker 4: I get there, they have fully closed the doors.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like paparazzi that are so it's almost
Speaker 3: like grotesque caricatures of paparazzi you would see in like
Speaker 3: a Michael Bay movie, Like they're all look like deformed
Speaker 3: faces and they're like representing the black heart of American society.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like, can't you see that she's hurting?
Speaker 2: And all you do is yell at her? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: And then I get in I immediately feel just completely invisible.
Speaker 3: Just it's like everyone else is a human and I'm
Speaker 3: sub human. Yeah, and then I leave and I go
Speaker 3: home and I order Chinese foods.
Speaker 2: Well, I have to say, it's you know, you did
Speaker 2: leave an event to go to this event, which I
Speaker 2: do think you're out, and you even said sort of
Speaker 2: a I have to go, and then until you were like,
Speaker 2: I just have to leave, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you're just gonna go home.
Speaker 3: You were gonna let me believe you were just gonna
Speaker 3: go home, and I didn't want to set up yes,
Speaker 3: But then, of course what I wanted to avoid is
Speaker 3: what's happening now, which is that I told you I
Speaker 3: was going to see Share and then I ended up
Speaker 3: literally just spending one hundred dollars on Uber says coming home.
Speaker 3: I wanted to sort of have it be a surprise
Speaker 3: the next day, you'll never believe I saw last night.
Speaker 3: Sure that would have been a nice surprise, but it
Speaker 3: did feel like dishonesty. I also got, well, was asking
Speaker 3: you to give me the space. Yeah, anyway, so I
Speaker 3: just want to say, you know, the event responds by
Speaker 3: Valentino Beauty, and I want to say they did not
Speaker 3: create the space. They did not create the same in
Speaker 3: the form of closing the door. He on, an LGBTQ
Speaker 3: plus creator, no.
Speaker 2: Less so messed up. And just when we were starting
Speaker 2: to feel respected, I know.
Speaker 3: And speaking of LGBTQ plus creators, we have such an
Speaker 3: amazing guest tonight. I we are doing this amazing thing
Speaker 3: where we're booking them actually right before or their show ends,
Speaker 3: so they actually can't even there's simply no way to
Speaker 3: There's no way to promote the show unless you are
Speaker 3: going Hermione Granger mode, going back in time and buying
Speaker 3: tickets or potentially waiting in the standby line to see
Speaker 3: their show. Can I be frank which is now closed?
Speaker 3: Quite frankly, yeah, I have to say I really loved
Speaker 3: it and I highly recommend it if again, like at
Speaker 3: some point it returns, maybe next year.
Speaker 4: I really hope you can see it. I know you
Speaker 4: were in LA you know I.
Speaker 3: Would, and it just really I could not recommend it
Speaker 3: more highly, and I really I'm sorry that none of
Speaker 3: you are going to have the chance to see it.
Speaker 3: And so, without further ado, please welcome Morgan Bassacus.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, well I used to be here with you
Speaker 3: and the ultimate power move to recommend something that is
Speaker 3: absolutely over Well, I actually it is the ultimate power yeah,
Speaker 3: because there's something you know, when someone could recommend like
Speaker 3: something exclusive. Yes, this is sort of exclusive in that way,
Speaker 3: in that like it is temporally biased. It's like it's
Speaker 3: only for people who are in the past over there, exactly,
Speaker 3: Like I'm actually marginalizing presence oriented people and idis identify
Speaker 3: people and I'm privileging past identified People's like, my recommendation
Speaker 3: is only for people in the past, and it's like,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you couldn't get into the past. You can't
Speaker 3: get into the show exactly. This is the share community. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I know. I've got an experience of rejection
Speaker 3: to you wanted to have an experience of inclusion, and
Speaker 3: I know I know that's how it works. We want
Speaker 3: to feel like we're in somewhere.
Speaker 2: And yetimes, it's so nice to feel like you're out.
Speaker 4: Wait say more, Well, it's like.
Speaker 2: When you can want, when you can be, like, when
Speaker 2: you can want, It's that's amazing Ive your next song.
Speaker 3: All I ever want is to want to be honest.
Speaker 3: That's actually like, yeah, no, that's such a I was
Speaker 3: recently wanting, wanting, Yes, I was recently wanted. I was
Speaker 3: recently wanton, and okay, I was recently. I found myself
Speaker 3: in the single biggest and most expensive apartment I will
Speaker 3: ever be in my life. Love that happened, like we're talking,
Speaker 3: like it was out of a out of a movie
Speaker 3: that wasn't even and just like that, it was out
Speaker 3: of it, just like that, Oh my god. And I
Speaker 3: looked around and I said, there's no love in this house.
Speaker 3: But if we just ended there, we just.
Speaker 4: Ended here, I was like.
Speaker 3: And and to add on top of that, can there
Speaker 3: be this house is not definitionally, this is not a home.
Speaker 3: And can any house that is like this be a home?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Oh it's so austere. Yeah, yes exactly. And it's like
Speaker 3: it is there a way where once you're no longer wanting,
Speaker 3: you can no longer experience love, Like the person that
Speaker 3: lived in that apartment isn't wanting.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that hurts, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Not one is like it is a great fear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then it's like it's like sometimes I'm like
Speaker 2: I sometimes I wish I weren't horny, Like I'd be like, God,
Speaker 2: it'd be amazing for that cloud to go away all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: But then I'm like, but what would my compass be?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: Where would I know?
Speaker 3: And wanting is kind of similar where it's like you're
Speaker 3: just if you're always wanting. If you stop wanting, then
Speaker 3: you like, well, I guess I just sit here still
Speaker 3: like one hundred percent, not doing anything one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: It's confusing, It's crazy all that. I mean, think about
Speaker 3: all that. Remember that joke Margaret Chow used to have
Speaker 3: years ago where she would be like, all that time
Speaker 3: I was thinking about hating my body, I could have
Speaker 3: taken a pottery class. I just think about that. Like
Speaker 3: the number of hours I have spent searching for sex
Speaker 3: is crazy. Yeah, oh my god, I could have learned
Speaker 3: anything I could have learned, I could have I could
Speaker 3: have been a person.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 3: Funny as this is how I feel about. On the
Speaker 3: opposite end of the spectrum, I feel about the hours
Speaker 3: I spent on Instagram, I'm like, I could have been
Speaker 3: having sex, right, Like, I'm like, well, at least if
Speaker 3: I could have been doing the dead eyed looking at
Speaker 3: a screen thing. But I could have led somewhere instead
Speaker 3: of me literally looking at photos from an event. I
Speaker 3: know that I wasn't at, nor did I want to
Speaker 3: be at, or like, why am I doing?
Speaker 4: Right? Is that one I've been looking at?
Speaker 3: You gotta be looking at three dicks? Yeah, but that's
Speaker 3: and that's what I'm literally like, even I'm behind you,
Speaker 3: guys like you guys are at the You're looking at dicks,
Speaker 3: and you're like, God, I could have taken a pottery class.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a photo of Kristen Davis. I don't
Speaker 3: know which one's better. To be honest with you, it's
Speaker 3: always do you think, generally speaking, okay, a gay guy?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: Do you think a gay guy if he were to
Speaker 3: be shown we're doing a study. He has to be
Speaker 3: shown a variety of photos of Kristin Davis, like christ
Speaker 3: Davis when she was young, Davis now like red carpet,
Speaker 3: no makeup, interview with Kim Krau, and then another guy,
Speaker 3: gay guy has just shown a bunch of dicks. Yes,
Speaker 3: At the end of the experiment, who's happier? Whoa It's
Speaker 3: like the most political thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: WHOA, I'm serious. It's like wait, wait, wait wait, let's
Speaker 4: how long does it last?
Speaker 3: It lasts? Let's just say it lasts. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: If you're that example, I feel that the Christen Davis
Speaker 2: person is happier.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I could think so too, because there's.
Speaker 2: Like more depth, there's more beauty, there's like something to
Speaker 2: be explored. You're you're thinking about time. You're thinking about
Speaker 2: like you know, presentation and when and how you do it,
Speaker 2: whereas like dis you're just like it's just animal and
Speaker 2: you're just like okay.
Speaker 3: And then there's the after. Well, then there's a conversation
Speaker 3: after which you've totally forgotten about all the dicks. You're
Speaker 3: just like recommending self help books. Do you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Like, I feel like that's that's like it's
Speaker 3: got taken away. Where is the Christen Davis. There's no after,
Speaker 3: there's no hangover. Yes, there's there's no hangover. You also
Speaker 3: take yourself out of it when you're thinking about Kristen Davis. Yes,
Speaker 3: you are actually thinking about someone else. When you're thinking
Speaker 3: about the dicks, you're thinking what would they look like
Speaker 3: with me in the frame you're thinking, you're thinking, what
Speaker 3: would it look like if I grabbed one, if I
Speaker 3: grab if one of them sort of slapped me across
Speaker 3: these dick see me? Yeah, you're not. The dicks are
Speaker 3: a mirror, whereas Christy Davis is a portal.
Speaker 2: Whoa Jesus. So the rigidity era is over. I know,
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. You're really cooking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're totally fluid.
Speaker 2: Wow wow wow wow supple. I am currently in my
Speaker 2: where I live in La Get this.
Speaker 3: It's hard to have sex there? Well, it's impossible. For foremost,
Speaker 3: nobody commits that. No one has had sex and no
Speaker 3: one has sext there. Like the studios, there's a population issue.
Speaker 2: There's a huge population. That's why you can get a
Speaker 2: house if you want, exactly. But I think it's so
Speaker 2: so like wanting versus having right because like so I have,
Speaker 2: like I have a pool that I share with my landlord.
Speaker 2: Oh my, which is extremely luxurious. I'm like, how happened
Speaker 2: in my life where I have access to a pool
Speaker 2: as a child that was like my full fantasy was
Speaker 2: like one day a pool and then you go in
Speaker 2: the pool alone and you're like now what right, Like
Speaker 2: you're sort of like, okay, that of this pool? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm sort of like, where are all the people? Like,
Speaker 2: where's the where's the like?
Speaker 3: And furthermore, why am I not being filmed?
Speaker 2: And furthermore, where are the dicks? And now literally I'm repulsive.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: It's just weird because you really think like this will
Speaker 2: be everything and then you're like, okay, I know, like
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want pool. I want community. Can kind
Speaker 3: that community? You're like, I hate these people. I didn't
Speaker 3: choose you. This is so this is honestly one of
Speaker 3: the themes of your show, and we won't talk about
Speaker 3: it too much because I know.
Speaker 4: Sam, because of his.
Speaker 3: Geographical identity, is LA identifying, right, he wasn't unable to
Speaker 3: see it, right, But one of the big themes is
Speaker 3: like the connection between being community oriented and being a
Speaker 3: complete narcissist.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you say that?
Speaker 3: I'm like that to me was one of the most
Speaker 3: radical things about what you were saying.
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if.
Speaker 3: You could talk a little bit about that and how
Speaker 3: you landed on that being one of the themes. Oh, Mike, well,
Speaker 3: that I mean, when you're a narcisst that's going to
Speaker 3: be the theme of You're gonna be the theme. Well,
Speaker 3: it's almost the ultimate and I don't mean this as
Speaker 3: a as a read, it's almost the ultimate form of
Speaker 3: narcisism to be like, it's actually pro social that I'm
Speaker 3: a narcissist and that there's a kind of narcist called
Speaker 3: that called the called what are they called the communal narcissism? Yeah,
Speaker 3: is it the sort of like I'm thinking of someone
Speaker 3: who makes a lot of public statements about current events, Like,
Speaker 3: is that the kind of thing we're talking about? I
Speaker 3: think the show, you know, the show is about this
Speaker 3: this comedian, and I get that this is annoying.
Speaker 4: It's annoying at all.
Speaker 3: And also I listened to your Exploration Live where you kind.
Speaker 4: Of talk to talk about it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you've got the idea, I know roughly, but
Speaker 3: I feel like we're all thinking about ourselves and we're
Speaker 3: trying to pretend like we're not. We're disavowing our own
Speaker 3: self involvement, which is where it gets dangerous with the
Speaker 3: disavowal because then you're like, I'm not like that, and
Speaker 3: then you're like, but where's it going to It's gonna
Speaker 3: come out somewhere, and so I feel like the show,
Speaker 3: and the show is also about the kind of like
Speaker 3: the like hole in the soul, like endless. It's never enough,
Speaker 3: it's about wanting, it's about it. This is never enough.
Speaker 3: Is never enough praise, never enough attention, you know, And
Speaker 3: that's like kind of the lineage of the gay comedian.
Speaker 3: Is this disease of never enough?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's complicated. I've been trying to approach things a
Speaker 2: little differently of being like what if, Like I feel
Speaker 2: like when I was here, I was really like, go bigger,
Speaker 2: go big, like, try harder, make it, make it bigger,
Speaker 2: bigger venue, blah blah blah, you can do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And now I'm sort of like feeling very opposite where
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want to like I want to
Speaker 2: be comfortable where I am, like in any like even
Speaker 2: like be like less than what I am.
Speaker 4: Like, I'm like, I.
Speaker 2: Actually don't want to push your downsizing. I'm downsizing, which
Speaker 2: I think is approaching and of your life. Am I am? I?
Speaker 4: I don't know, am.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's something I know like instinctually, like when a
Speaker 2: dog walk, Yeah, you're like selling your possessions. Yeah, there
Speaker 2: is something where I'm like because I when I see
Speaker 2: people in our community, especially like one, I love when
Speaker 2: they shoot big and do a big thing, and I'm
Speaker 2: always like.
Speaker 3: Go off, Diva.
Speaker 2: But also I love when they're like, I'm just sort
Speaker 2: of doing this yeah for a little to see, like
Speaker 2: and being like very calm about it. Yeah, And I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna overextend. I'm not going to freak out and
Speaker 2: I'm just being like, this is pretty much what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: But I think it goes somewhere else, even if it
Speaker 3: just migrates to a different part like this, this sort
Speaker 3: of the more the like the disease of more, the
Speaker 3: want ye want yes, and the feeling of like not enoughness,
Speaker 3: and then it goes into almost it can flit. The
Speaker 3: opposite can be the same thing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like where it's like then I'm gonna I'm wanting a
Speaker 3: certain kind of humility or something. It's like, you know,
Speaker 3: that's like fuck, you know, so I think ambitious about humility.
Speaker 4: You're scary the most.
Speaker 3: I'm orn on for you guys, Like literally, you brought
Speaker 3: a Jewish person, okay, and I'm glad, Damn, let's talk
Speaker 3: about it. You're braid, Yeah, I'm like the little braid
Speaker 3: top and braid, So what happened? So what happened there?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 3: I love her?
Speaker 4: I love her.
Speaker 3: I recently heard a celebrity lesbian couple sees her. Uh oh,
Speaker 3: you've told me this. Yeah, we can't say it because
Speaker 3: it's hip. We can't say, but we're going to be
Speaker 3: literally someone's going to enter with an AK forty seven
Speaker 3: and shoot us.
Speaker 2: Sorry, but relevantly. But to be bare in this country,
Speaker 2: it's always timely, so.
Speaker 3: Exactly, okay, And thank you the advice for making the space.
Speaker 2: Thank you the advice for making the space en City Bank.
Speaker 2: So we were talking before about like speaking of wanting,
Speaker 2: speaking of attention, Like, how does it feel to do
Speaker 2: a run of a solo show where you're just like
Speaker 2: receiving attention at a constant rate?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't last.
Speaker 1: What what?
Speaker 3: But you do it the next night?
Speaker 2: It doesn't last what you doing the next night, but
Speaker 2: it fills the It fills the void for sure, and.
Speaker 3: Then you go happy and dad loves you and all
Speaker 3: that stuff. But you I think that the thing about
Speaker 3: it is you're still the next audience to impress. But
Speaker 3: are they ever like?
Speaker 4: Are they like?
Speaker 3: But we just love this.
Speaker 4: What you like? Are they ever just like we love
Speaker 4: this no matter what?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think I have to remind myself before
Speaker 3: I go on stage. They came here because they want
Speaker 3: to see the show. But this is the difference, I
Speaker 3: think between your perspective as a performer and our perspective
Speaker 3: is just like readers of reviews and Instagram, It's like,
Speaker 3: at some point someone like you or someone like Cole
Speaker 3: or Josh or whoever else has been the toast of
Speaker 3: the time. It's like there's enough momentum that what you're
Speaker 3: seeing as an outsider is like praise, praise, praise, rightse
Speaker 3: But like, I'm sure you have bad show, like you
Speaker 3: have shows or you last night leave the stage and
Speaker 3: you're like, damn, that was a bad worst show I've
Speaker 3: ever done. That I told you it felt to me
Speaker 3: in fifty shows the worst show I done, and it's
Speaker 3: one of the fun it's like one of the and
Speaker 3: it's one of the fine. And we talked about it
Speaker 3: is because it was very very hot in the theater,
Speaker 3: I think. But then you don't know if you're blaming that.
Speaker 3: You're like one of those people who's like, well it
Speaker 3: was it was hot in the theater, so it wasn't me.
Speaker 3: I go all the way in the other direction because
Speaker 3: I'm so I've been so brainwashed. Never blame anyone. But
Speaker 3: you're like, especially for live performance, never blame the audience.
Speaker 3: Never blame the band. You never blame the tech. It's like,
Speaker 3: if you can't make mark, blame It's like, we know
Speaker 3: people that could make it work anywhere, Like you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, like, and we know those people, so
Speaker 3: it is possible. I had to be I had to
Speaker 3: watch myself last night. I had to say on the
Speaker 3: mic Morgan, be nice because I felt myself get so angry.
Speaker 1: That's what then.
Speaker 3: But then again, it's like the show was fine. In
Speaker 3: my mind, it wasn't good, but it's fine.
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna ask, is like, was it
Speaker 2: like you're so used to like a rapturous audience that
Speaker 2: it was like, you know, more medium audience.
Speaker 3: And I yes, And I decided that within the first
Speaker 3: five seconds. I was like, I failed. I can't get
Speaker 3: it back. And it's like, yeah, it's a disease. I
Speaker 3: think it's terrible, terminal, it's horrible.
Speaker 2: I've been I think blaming the audience is one of
Speaker 2: the funniest things you can do. Though, I really love
Speaker 2: when comedians do it as a zoom out because I
Speaker 2: think it's.
Speaker 3: Case something they're blaming the audience. It's actually so interesting
Speaker 3: because blaming the audience is literally like bigotry. You are
Speaker 3: grouping them all. They are not similar. It's like the audience.
Speaker 3: There are people in the audience that are of all
Speaker 3: different ages, genders, audience based on you know, classes, Like
Speaker 3: you're saying the audience. That's not a group of monoliths.
Speaker 3: That's not that's like someone saying like I hate women,
Speaker 3: Thank you for bringing it there, you know what I mean. No,
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said it. That is literally and like me,
Speaker 3: you had the audience is bigotry, Like you are making
Speaker 3: up a class of people that you're making the enemy.
Speaker 4: And it's like, that's how we got to where we are.
Speaker 3: That's how we got it literally the history. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: that's what your show is about. So that's what my
Speaker 3: show is literally about. And you're so right, and it's
Speaker 3: and and and actually what when when you get into
Speaker 3: the mindset of like, oh, they're a monolog you have
Speaker 3: to start looking, oh they're not, Like oh, there's actually
Speaker 3: so many different experiences happening here, and I'm projecting one
Speaker 3: uniform experience and not just that. But here's the thing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: when you're let's say bombing, Yeah, here's what's happening, there
Speaker 3: are at least three four people that are loving it,
Speaker 3: and they're the minority. So in fact, you have to
Speaker 3: demo form even better for them, because that is doing
Speaker 3: like activism supporting a marginalized community. Anti there's a marginalized
Speaker 3: community that is within this audience.
Speaker 4: It's like the ds General.
Speaker 3: The DSA, the four DSA members loving it there and
Speaker 3: you have to speak to them and you serve the people.
Speaker 3: I think this is.
Speaker 2: It's reminding me less of a you know, a race
Speaker 2: or a gender and more of a sort of like
Speaker 2: sort of renative like America in an election.
Speaker 3: America in an election where you're sort.
Speaker 2: Of like America like it's easy to be like America
Speaker 2: is fucking stupid.
Speaker 3: You look out there's Joe the Plumber.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're like, I fucking hate this country. And
Speaker 2: then you're like, no, I like it's like, let's see
Speaker 2: at the map during the election, it's like, Okay, I
Speaker 2: hate Pennsylvania, and it's like, okay, Pennsylvania sucks.
Speaker 1: New York.
Speaker 2: Oh, I kind of like, I kind of like that
Speaker 2: part of the audience over there, right, demographic map right,
Speaker 2: And then you observe to remind myself, oh, mynd this
Speaker 2: is where the narcism comes in.
Speaker 3: These people have had a whole other day that has
Speaker 3: nothing to do with you. They're not even reacting their faces.
Speaker 3: They've had a life. I'm sorry, I can't be thinking
Speaker 3: about their lives. They haven't, don't. They're literally, like statistically
Speaker 3: some of them are grieving.
Speaker 2: No, that's literally literally, And we're like, you hated it,
Speaker 2: you hate me, and you're like, no, I actually just
Speaker 2: my mom died.
Speaker 4: I just got bad news this morning.
Speaker 3: As a very public assassination yesterday.
Speaker 4: Maybe that affected.
Speaker 2: Them, Yeah, maybe that too. Maybe they saw on the
Speaker 2: internet all day long.
Speaker 3: Yes, I watched the Hearing film on repeat all I
Speaker 3: went to the Morgan show Now Something to hear about
Speaker 3: an unknown gay comedian in the nineties.
Speaker 4: Morgan was pissed because we were laughing. Meanwhile, I've seen
Speaker 4: horrible things all day long.
Speaker 1: I said, I am.
Speaker 4: I think you know how people can sort.
Speaker 3: Of go insane if they like meditate too hard and
Speaker 3: like unlock hearing about problem.
Speaker 2: I think there's something where I'm like, it's almost dangerous
Speaker 2: to think too hard about what the audience is feeling.
Speaker 3: You've got to stan out of it. You've got to
Speaker 3: stay out there in your business. It's none of your business.
Speaker 2: Because sometimes I'll be like, Okay, what would an audience
Speaker 2: like as an audience member? What would I want to
Speaker 2: feel when I watched this now? And I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no, no no no, Dan, your own yeah, perspective.
Speaker 3: Wait, I've been hearing I know two people personally that
Speaker 3: had psychotic breaks from my show, personally from your show. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you need to edit together because you're causing workers on site.
Speaker 3: You need to Okay, I do you want to be safe?
Speaker 4: Wait, and you know one person.
Speaker 3: So that's three people psychotic breaks from men, from meditating
Speaker 3: from It's a real thing, you guys people, I'm really worried.
Speaker 3: This is I'm gonna get Bernie. Keep going call let
Speaker 3: me call Bernie while you guys talk about we need
Speaker 3: Bernie and Orna here starting.
Speaker 4: We need Bernie because I need meditating too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bernie is gonna talk about it oligarchy tour.
Speaker 4: He's going to change it.
Speaker 3: From would you say excessive meditation is related to oligarchy? Honey,
Speaker 3: you need me to spell it out?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 3: Do I want you to?
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, we live in a world.
Speaker 3: I'm getting I had never thought that that perspective. I've
Speaker 3: never thought about it. It's true that like we do
Speaker 3: exist in the context I didn't even want to do
Speaker 3: and you did.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing. You can't exist.
Speaker 3: Don't you hate when you go into meme speak without one?
Speaker 3: Of course, it's so half of my day.
Speaker 2: I'm being like, okay, so this reminds me of this
Speaker 2: meme that I saw, and I have to say it
Speaker 2: with like a I hate that I'm saying this, but
Speaker 2: it is like it does does remind me of that
Speaker 2: sometimes means you have a helpful framework.
Speaker 3: I can't see the word vibe anymore. It's like, but
Speaker 3: sometimes it is a vibe, and yet you have to
Speaker 3: say things have vibes all the time, and then it's
Speaker 3: just that I doesn't shift.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Wow, I'm really Yeah. Tell you guys for sharing
Speaker 2: about your what you've been going through.
Speaker 3: I'm going to do like your show, but with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: It's going to be like me talking about like the
Speaker 3: little known politician nam Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4: Yes, people, people have forgotten you were from.
Speaker 3: Twenty exactly before. And I'm going to do here from
Speaker 3: the it's like how you do his you know, his
Speaker 3: moteen hislogue. I'm going to do Kamala's d NC speech
Speaker 3: which she says we need to have the most deadly
Speaker 3: military in the in the world, and then m huff.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: So psychotic breaks from meditation. We had to be worried.
Speaker 3: We've got to be worried. We've got to be worried.
Speaker 3: I feel about having a psychotic way for meditation. Obviously,
Speaker 3: I don't want to have a psychotic way for meditating
Speaker 3: too much, but I'm like, god, it would be nice
Speaker 3: to get close, yeah, which is also how I feel
Speaker 3: about when people are like I'm a workaholic and it's
Speaker 3: like life, I'm like, I wish, Yeah, I wish I
Speaker 3: were that because I'm like a lazy haulic.
Speaker 4: Me do that's crazy?
Speaker 3: Like I'm literally like, oh, it can't work, it's the summer. Also, sorry,
Speaker 3: but you're if you're naturally a workaholic, that's a privilege.
Speaker 3: You should be able to You should have to pay
Speaker 3: more taxes for you to work. That's hard for me, right, Okay,
Speaker 3: I think the psychotic break during meditating is unfortunately like gonna.
Speaker 2: Make people like it honestly, triggers something republican in me,
Speaker 2: a desire to like it, triggers like a that's why
Speaker 2: I don't look in word like oh like makes me
Speaker 2: feel like justified in like being like, just move forward,
Speaker 2: don't process that.
Speaker 3: It is a sort of literalizing of like the concept
Speaker 3: that we're all over therapized and over medicaid. It's like, look,
Speaker 3: people are having people are having psychotic breaks from medicating extremes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: we need to do her first segment. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Okay, So basically, Morgan, our first segment
Speaker 3: is called straight Shooters, and in this segment, we gauge
Speaker 3: your familiarity with in complicity and straight culture by asking
Speaker 3: a series of rapid fire questions where you have to
Speaker 3: choose one thing or another thing.
Speaker 4: So it's just a or B. It's a or B.
Speaker 3: And the one rule is we can't ask any follow
Speaker 3: up questions about how the game works, and if you do,
Speaker 3: we're gonna actually cancel your show early. Okay, We're gonna
Speaker 3: call the theater and we're gonna say it's it's over,
Speaker 3: it's over, it's the wrap. Now what did you say?
Speaker 3: And I am answering a question, So that sounds like
Speaker 3: that sort of is what you're going to last.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think we need to get all the weapons.
Speaker 3: I think to me to really look and word straight
Speaker 3: or not straight? No, that's a question.
Speaker 4: Wait, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Morgan, Yeah, hippy long stockings okay? Or Tipper Gore,
Speaker 3: Oh b okay, silk chiffon or milk coupon. Oh a
Speaker 3: musical chairs or pharmaceutical affairs.
Speaker 2: Oh b okay, a tailored suit or a gay lord.
Speaker 3: Aka fruit Oh personally a tonight we ball or my
Speaker 3: flight is out of the gaull.
Speaker 2: Hmmm ba be okay, stand culture has gone too far
Speaker 2: or damn vultures have come to swarm.
Speaker 3: B absolutely Tate McCrae. Or wait, I'm gay? You said
Speaker 3: Tate McRae, Tate McCray, Tate McRae. Do you not know
Speaker 3: who that is? I would love to know your media consumption.
Speaker 3: We can't get to that. I'm like a thousand years old.
Speaker 3: What who's Tate McRae. Okay, First of all, the points.
Speaker 3: Are you are literally like, no one has ever scored
Speaker 3: this love and I have one more and it's really
Speaker 3: worth it.
Speaker 2: What is it, okay, a brand partnership or a Sam
Speaker 2: fart and ship?
Speaker 3: Oh damn, yeah, wow, you're going south Park mode.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's time.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, wow, some incredible facial expression. Is it
Speaker 3: getting captured?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: I think I think so. Okay, So we rank everyone's
Speaker 3: performance on a scale of zero to one thousand dubs. Right,
Speaker 3: the bird basically gotta song, basically gotta song. I actually
Speaker 3: love the I love answering A or B. Right, that
Speaker 3: was the word. I thought it was very made it.
Speaker 3: People just be like, oh, Tate McCray, like, and hey
Speaker 3: see that's why. Okay, I got lost in the question. Okay,
Speaker 3: so I like, I did it wrong. No, see you didn't.
Speaker 3: You're saying you're mad.
Speaker 4: Actually, the fact that you just said Sam just said mad,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 3: You're doing it wrong. It's like, we're gonna have to
Speaker 3: duct points for that because you're not living in the
Speaker 3: moment and you're thinking like in like rigid terms, extremely rigid. Basically,
Speaker 3: let's see saying Reggie and now we're going to add
Speaker 3: points because that's draw de viv So it's it's complicated
Speaker 3: having an unal situation with rigidity.
Speaker 4: We really are.
Speaker 3: It's passing. It's I know, and I have to say
Speaker 3: i'd love it. I'm loving our conversation. I feel very
Speaker 3: lose conversationally. Physically, I've never felt more rigid. There's like
Speaker 3: nothing I can do to get out. Really do you
Speaker 3: still feel it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Really, you see more relaxed.
Speaker 3: Thank you. So I just breathed for the first time
Speaker 3: in forty five minutes. You gotta breathe, You gotta breathe.
Speaker 3: Your score is seven hundred. Okay, no, go say what
Speaker 3: you want to say now. Now you can. Now you
Speaker 3: can say whatever you want. The game is over.
Speaker 2: You Before your language was being policed, before the before
Speaker 2: your language was being policed, and now now you're free.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just really appreciate the humblingness of that experience.
Speaker 3: And I fully blacked out. I was dissociated from beginning
Speaker 3: to add But I like that. I'm still this, I'm
Speaker 3: still this. I'm I'm dissociated right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I started when you said we're about to do a segment,
Speaker 3: and then I it's continuing to right now. And is
Speaker 3: that good?
Speaker 2: I think it's there's Actually it's interesting. This segment is
Speaker 2: obviously stupid, means nothing.
Speaker 3: No, it sucks, You're not We're not saying that to
Speaker 3: like appease you. It's literally designed to make the guests
Speaker 3: go crazy because it's unclear what they need to do
Speaker 3: and all of them are like, wait, so what am
Speaker 3: I okay? And so then it gets to basically the
Speaker 3: challenges within this funhouse mirror of the musical, of the
Speaker 3: musical that we're putting you in. What performance are you
Speaker 3: gonna well?
Speaker 2: And even there's a certain type which I think maybe
Speaker 2: you are, which is you really want to be right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm like that too, and it's I want
Speaker 3: to be good, you want to be good. I just
Speaker 3: want to follow the rules. Yeah, that's how I feel
Speaker 3: like that interaction is how I feel in every interaction.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, just tell me what the rule is,
Speaker 3: Like I don't even care. I've never thought about it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It is actually an emblematic of the world at large.
Speaker 3: It's like you're going around trying to find rules. Just
Speaker 3: tell me the norms. Yeah, because I feel like I
Speaker 3: missed the class, I missed the one on one on norms.
Speaker 3: I'm like whoa how it alps to act, But norms
Speaker 3: have never been rigid? Is this weird?
Speaker 2: Changing always it's like the audience audience, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is yeah, this is honestly here how I've been
Speaker 2: feeling about fashion, which I keep talking about. I'm so
Speaker 2: glad you named it because I never know what is normal.
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, I don't know what's normal, so that I.
Speaker 4: Can so I can.
Speaker 3: I see what you're saying, Yeah, well you're looking.
Speaker 2: But the thing is because I'm like, what if I
Speaker 2: show up and everyone's like, you look insane?
Speaker 3: Well, we were thinking yeah, but that is the thing
Speaker 3: about I feel like, now you know.
Speaker 4: Like what is insane?
Speaker 2: And then if you're like I'm wearing a unique cloth shirt,
Speaker 2: they're like, you look insane.
Speaker 4: There's no way knowing.
Speaker 3: There's no way of knowing. Yeah, it's so confusing. That's
Speaker 3: the end. So Morgan George, I just had this moment
Speaker 3: of like, maybe that's not your name, well, which is
Speaker 3: something that's happening more and more. Oh, go to people
Speaker 3: I know. I'm like, oh, maybe I'm about to say
Speaker 3: the wrong name out loud. Dear friends, dear friends. I'm
Speaker 3: like introducing people i've known for a decade, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is what's that?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 3: It's self doubt. It's because you self doubt, you just
Speaker 3: like think you're going to be wrong.
Speaker 4: I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3: I also think, Oh, I hope I'm able to articulate.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 3: Life is so repetitive that sometimes it's you have done
Speaker 3: something such as introducing a friend so many times that
Speaker 3: you're like, what if At some point I snap, like
Speaker 3: how many more times can I do this? And pretend
Speaker 3: it's normal that I'm doing it over and over again
Speaker 3: until I'm like, well, I don't give a fuck who
Speaker 3: this is just fucking talk about how like nice?
Speaker 1: This part?
Speaker 3: Like how many it's It's like how people like go
Speaker 3: crazy when they're like making small talk or something. I'm like,
Speaker 3: when am I gonna snap put a name tag on?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Girl, put your name tags on?
Speaker 2: Girl, put your name tags on. I want there to
Speaker 2: be fashion rules so that you can play within the margin.
Speaker 2: I agree, I want name tags on. Tell me what
Speaker 2: you want me to bring to the event. Tell me
Speaker 2: the heck give me the Google spreadsheet of what's being brought.
Speaker 2: I'm not I don't want to bring wine. And if
Speaker 2: there's gonna be twenty bottles of wine. Just tell me
Speaker 2: what you need? Do you need napkins?
Speaker 1: Hell me?
Speaker 3: Do you ever go into a party and are like, well,
Speaker 3: I want them to see I brought some things, So
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna carry bottle until I see the host.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's not right at the door. Sometimes you're like
Speaker 3: walking around for quite a long time holding the bottle
Speaker 3: so that you see the host and you're like check,
Speaker 3: you know, and put it down, just for it to
Speaker 3: like sit there in that person's apartment for god knows
Speaker 3: how many years, never to be opened on the credit
Speaker 3: you want the credit? Yeah, can I tell you something crazy?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 2: You know I've done this sometimes that they don't like
Speaker 2: if there's like a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: There and bring it back, Sam, If there's like a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff there, I'm like, and then you like
Speaker 3: bring it to a shelter or something.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, of course, I'm like, here's some tequila.
Speaker 3: Somebody supposed bring it back.
Speaker 2: Not always, but if there's like a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: and nobody's touching it, Okay.
Speaker 3: So this is where we get into like what am
Speaker 3: I supposed to be crucified?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: This is where we get in to like ethics. So
Speaker 3: if you're doing if you're doing that, here's another question
Speaker 3: for you. You see a bunch of things that are untouched,
Speaker 3: is it equally or more unethical to take a different,
Speaker 3: better bottle, white elephant. That's wrong, that's just not right.
Speaker 3: But why because that's for someone else to take home.
Speaker 4: Everyone take your own bottle home.
Speaker 2: Home, why I'll be home. Look, I'm not doing this
Speaker 2: all the time, just every you've done it before.
Speaker 3: I love when you share something and immediately becomes so human,
Speaker 3: like it work. No one's even judging you, but you're
Speaker 3: like no. I love confessing things that I am embarrassed. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you do. I overcompensate and I tear up easy because
Speaker 3: I now it's gonna seem like I'm bragging, but I'm not.
Speaker 3: But I don't drink, so I don't so so then
Speaker 3: I then I so, then I feel guilty. Only bring
Speaker 3: one bottle of seltzer. Two bottles. Then I overcompensate and
Speaker 3: I'm bringing like a shopping car full of seltzer. Yay,
Speaker 3: And then that's real and that's overcompensating.
Speaker 4: That's just for season.
Speaker 3: That's part where to drive. Thanks for giving us a space.
Speaker 3: I just want to say thank you overcompensated for giving
Speaker 3: for a holding space. So here's a question for you. Okay,
Speaker 3: not to get it too personal, but how long have
Speaker 3: you not drank well? And this I have follow a
Speaker 3: question of this. It's not We're not just gonna talk
Speaker 3: about your sobriting. No, I mean I think we should
Speaker 3: just shot you think sobriety straight. This is sort of
Speaker 3: what I want to get into. Four and a half years. Okay,

Speaker 3: like you're saying it's a miserable existence. Yes, to have
Speaker 3: the husband and to say you're killing it at the
Speaker 3: adulting game. Yes, there's no way out. But then what
Speaker 3: if that person you know, fulfilled family church, looks at
Speaker 3: you says they are an off Broadway performer with no children.
Speaker 3: How miserable?
Speaker 1: This is?
Speaker 3: No children is my favorite part of myself or of course,
Speaker 3: but from her perspective, well that's right. Well, well, I
Speaker 3: think that's the thing about about disavowal is that they're
Speaker 3: disavowing their own misery and projecting on us. So like
Speaker 3: we are like the screens for all of their own
Speaker 3: projected suffering and self loathing. That's just like, oh my god, honey,
Speaker 3: are every you know, every accusation is a confession. We're
Speaker 3: like what's going on over there?
Speaker 2: Wow, I so weaponized misery. Thank you. You can just
Speaker 2: put weaponize if anything now now culture and Anya, who
Speaker 2: that has happened, Well, that.
Speaker 4: Happened to me.
Speaker 3: Don't joke about that. I got a mental break because
Speaker 3: the wea and I appreciate you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's something in the same way that
Speaker 2: we were talking about the people who meditate too hard
Speaker 2: and have a mental break, and I'm like, well, thank god,
Speaker 2: I'm not looking inward.
Speaker 3: There's something about straight people seeing how we are constantly
Speaker 3: still searching yes and being like, well, thank god, I'm
Speaker 3: not that yes, And it's sort of like, well, it's
Speaker 3: actually fun to sort of, you know, continue this journey.
Speaker 4: Do you ever Sometimes I look around and you're like, wow,
Speaker 4: if they really know what we.
Speaker 3: Did, they're kind of right, yeah, well that's like you're
Speaker 3: in some basements somewhere and you're like, well, I get
Speaker 3: what you're saying.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, I see where the.
Speaker 3: Devil is here. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you.
Speaker 3: But then do you think they are ever like, damn,
Speaker 3: we're having missionary sex once a year. They're right about like,
Speaker 3: you know what I think jealousy is a big motivation
Speaker 3: of the right. Yeah, I think. I think like supremacist
Speaker 3: ideologies are really often brooded in like jealousy of joy
Speaker 3: and connection to like the earth and the body, and
Speaker 3: it's like own it instead of murdering, do you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that? Think about that, Calma.
Speaker 2: I went to the airport yesterday, Oh my god, and yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you. And it was actually kind of a groundwreaking
Speaker 2: experience because maybe the first time since I've been an
Speaker 2: adult that I didn't open a gay sex app while
Speaker 2: at the airport in my whole life. That's like and
Speaker 2: obviously not like getting out there something was wrong.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: I was just like like there was like a I
Speaker 2: didn't have. I was just like, what where is this
Speaker 2: actually gonna lead? Like for once in my life, Yeah,
Speaker 2: for once in my life, I had like I was
Speaker 2: able to think ahead and be.
Speaker 3: Like, well, what's the point play the tape?
Speaker 4: Play the tape after hundreds of times of.
Speaker 2: Sitting at airport just being like, well, I guess I'll
Speaker 2: look at the sex apps just and then it's always
Speaker 2: at the wrong gate. They're always like I'm actually internal three. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm see what. There's no I can't there's no way
Speaker 2: to get that happen.
Speaker 3: What's up? Oh my grandma died. I'm gonna hurt.
Speaker 2: Literally, and this I was like, what's like? I was
Speaker 2: actually a little scared because I was like, I'm being
Speaker 2: so like levelheaded about all this.
Speaker 1: What did you do instead? I?
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're like, I'm going to be mature about this.
Speaker 3: I'm not going on grind. I'm just gonna jerk chatter bait.
Speaker 3: And then I'm just gonna go on chatterbare can at
Speaker 3: the call no I chatterbait is. In an earlier point
Speaker 3: in my life, I went for a real chatterbait face
Speaker 3: and I had to be like stop, no, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: very era. I was like, this is not okay, No,
Speaker 3: it's not talk about losing a day.
Speaker 5: Talk about losing a day, talk about losing a day,
Speaker 5: and my god. And then you're also like, who is
Speaker 5: funding these rooms? Like when it's like, oh the rooms
Speaker 5: like some some of the rooms where it's like three guys,
Speaker 5: You're like that can't be good. Oh not to well,
Speaker 5: not to kill it by.
Speaker 3: Making the point, but this so anyway, So.
Speaker 2: I think I just looked at Instagram. Actually, I don't
Speaker 2: think I opened my book yet. I think I was
Speaker 2: just sort of like I think and honestly, if I'm
Speaker 2: being truthful, I do it.
Speaker 3: I think it was just because it was really early
Speaker 3: in the morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you just jerked off the book in the book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, jerked out in the book. Wait, I want to
Speaker 3: This is a difficult question. I'm sorry, but I think
Speaker 3: it'll be fruitful. Okay, how do we define miss misery?
Speaker 3: It's a really good question because what's the distinction between.
Speaker 2: Like misery versus suffering and misery versus like sadness.
Speaker 3: I'm like, is misery a helplessness in the face of
Speaker 3: not being able to get what you want or surrender
Speaker 3: to it? Like like I feel like like, yes, the
Speaker 3: gay misery is like the constant wanting, yes, which is
Speaker 3: like bad, but also it keeps us going. Submission to
Speaker 3: helplessness is like a really good It's just like, well,
Speaker 3: this is it's a resignation. Resignation, which to me is
Speaker 3: such an abhorrent thing. Like it's so that's I mean,
Speaker 3: you'll meet you'll meet straight people who are like, well
Speaker 3: this is just how you know, and it's like is
Speaker 3: it is it just how it is. Why this is
Speaker 3: what I love about gay people like it? Why does
Speaker 3: it have to be like that? And the resignation freaks
Speaker 3: me out. The regignation feels like Julianne Moore and safe
Speaker 3: for whatever, you know what I mean? Like that feels
Speaker 3: like that, that kind of moment. Yeah, you're absolutely right,
Speaker 3: and there is a the constant searching can also be tragic.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely tragic, you know, and we should be because
Speaker 3: resignation and if there's a spectrum and it's resignation on
Speaker 3: one hand, constant searching on the other, both of them
Speaker 3: basically lead to uh, psycho failic, yes, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, like or rather, I guess resignation doesn't lead
Speaker 3: to it leads to complete like neutrality, whereas constant searching
Speaker 3: inevitably leads to failure because you're never gonna find what
Speaker 3: you're looking. I have one, I have one. Okay, straight
Speaker 3: is misery. Gay is tragedy, wow, because it's being able
Speaker 3: to think on top of that, Wait, this is tragic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're being like, damn, I'm shooting so big
Speaker 2: and I don't care what's gonna.
Speaker 3: Happen, and I'm gonna lose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's always tragic. But then straight it's like
Speaker 2: that's never gonna come true. I'll just stay where I am.
Speaker 3: M M, I'm really with you. You have piercing eyes. I
Speaker 3: know they're so intense. I know, I know it's so intense,
Speaker 3: and sometimes I have to turn it down. I imagine
Speaker 3: a dial just like turned down in my gaze. And
Speaker 3: sometimes when I'm in my thoughts, the gay gets even
Speaker 3: more intense. All that to say, I think tragedy, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what is the definition of tragedy again, because I know, like,
Speaker 3: what does tragedy mean? I'm not trying to put everybody
Speaker 3: on the spot. You were reading a book, so it's
Speaker 3: actually comedy minus time, right, so if you actually reverse that,
Speaker 3: So okay.
Speaker 4: You know that's an amazing question.
Speaker 2: I guess I was thinking of it more in the
Speaker 2: sense of like having a big goal and failing.
Speaker 3: But oh, I was thinking about it in terms of
Speaker 3: like instilling the misery with meaning, like if something, if
Speaker 3: someone is a tragic character that actually and here's what's
Speaker 3: gay about it? That makes you a diva? Like okay,
Speaker 3: So I'm okay, let's say I'm deeply unhappy. I'm waking
Speaker 3: up every day I'm so unhappy with my life. I'm
Speaker 3: a tragic character. Well, that means that there should be
Speaker 3: a movie about me like that. That means that I
Speaker 3: am significant, whereas the resignation of just being miserable is
Speaker 3: like I'm nothing. Right, that's what I like? That definitely, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what and and and we can critics, we can
Speaker 3: be critical of our concert search for more, but at
Speaker 3: least it doesn't mute our our desire, which you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like and I feel like the resionation
Speaker 3: mutes the desire over and then you just want to
Speaker 3: control other people's desire. Yes, you're like your desires threatening
Speaker 3: to me, so I have to squash it. It's the
Speaker 3: difference between muting and then putting the volume so far
Speaker 3: up that it's like, can anyone hear anything that's exactly right?
Speaker 3: That that's that's LGBT. Yeah, damn. Okay, here's a question
Speaker 3: for you. Okay, what do you feel about the phrase
Speaker 3: misery loves company? Is that that's marriage, that's marriage, that's
Speaker 3: dinner parties, that's dinner parties. That's a family's family, and
Speaker 3: that's a family. It is that is a family totally.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: You're stuck here.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't place for I'm finding the point of
Speaker 2: children to be more confusing than ever.
Speaker 3: I think about this all the time because I you
Speaker 3: would think that as you get older, you your views
Speaker 3: get more solidified. It's actually something I'm realizing, not just
Speaker 3: with kids, but with everything I was always taught. As
Speaker 3: you get older, your views kurdle, like that people become
Speaker 3: more conservative or even on the other side of things,
Speaker 3: like an aging hippie, just because it's like you're regurgitating
Speaker 3: the same shit over and over again. You're going to
Speaker 3: the same protests, You're just holding the same sign exactly. Yes, literally,
Speaker 3: like you just curdle into more of who you are.
Speaker 3: And I am finding the complete opposite to be true,
Speaker 3: which is I'm more and more confused about what my
Speaker 3: beliefs are as I get older. Yeah, And I would
Speaker 3: say kids is a great example where like you would
Speaker 3: think at this point, I'm like, Okay, definitively I want kids,
Speaker 3: definitively I don't want kids. I've never been more undecided. Really, yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: I'm literally like, okay, wait what is because I'm like,
Speaker 2: I see the goal, but I'm like, but there's like
Speaker 2: I'm sort of like what is the point. Like it's
Speaker 2: really confusing because so many people are like, I'm having kids, people,
Speaker 2: who's going to take care of you when you're older.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't want to have kids to have
Speaker 3: free help, free help are right, And.
Speaker 2: It's also like and then being like, well it'll be nice,
Speaker 2: Like there's a part of me that has a fantasy
Speaker 2: of being like, we would be nice to like have
Speaker 2: kids as like a progressive person, because then you could
Speaker 2: like in still progressive ideals. And I'm like, well, they're
Speaker 2: not my tools like to like for political gain either,
Speaker 2: Like I think that's docks whatever.
Speaker 3: I'll just anyways, yeah, anyways. But even everything you're thinking now,
Speaker 3: if you were to have had kids at twenty two,
Speaker 3: your mind would not have even been involved enough to
Speaker 3: have those thoughts.
Speaker 4: So it just is easier.
Speaker 3: Like I think that you just know too much as
Speaker 3: you get older, so then every decision is impossible. I mean,
Speaker 3: my dog is fourteen. Isn't that crazy? When did you
Speaker 3: get this dog? I got him when I was twenty three.
Speaker 3: How old was the dog?
Speaker 4: He was two?
Speaker 3: Oh my god? Yeah, you've had to do grandchildren. This
Speaker 3: is a crazy school family. I could have a fifteen
Speaker 3: fifteen year old? Fourteen year old? What'd I say before fourteen? Yeah,
Speaker 3: but you it sounds like you were saying you may
Speaker 3: have a desire for it, like there was I think
Speaker 3: both of us are sort of undecided. I mean, I
Speaker 3: don't know this is.
Speaker 2: And I were back to orne Yeah yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 2: we wouldn't you want to do it if the other
Speaker 2: one didn't, right?
Speaker 4: And you know what the thing is, there's almost something
Speaker 4: that's true.
Speaker 2: There's something about like the lack of If I were
Speaker 2: straight and it was like all my friends are having kids,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, okay, well, like I basically have kids anyway,
Speaker 2: but now as a gay person, it would be such
Speaker 2: a choice and such a like removal from the community
Speaker 2: of solo.
Speaker 3: Shows they have kids, yes, but this is I was
Speaker 3: explaining this to a friend of mine. I was like,
Speaker 3: a straight friend. I was like, so, you know how
Speaker 3: straight people without kids in your community are marginalized, Like
Speaker 3: they're like, god, she could have you know, she never
Speaker 3: had kids. Yeah, that's what it is when you do
Speaker 3: have rights, because we know people that have kids and
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, they're not coming to the parties. They
Speaker 3: struggle feel belonging. Yeah, yeah, and some of them, like
Speaker 3: I mean, not anyone I'm thinking of right now, but
Speaker 3: like I could imagine, it's also easy to then develop
Speaker 3: a resentment that's like why aret my friends hanging out
Speaker 3: with me? Yes, it's like, well, because you have twins,
Speaker 3: and then you're telling you the straight people all the time,
Speaker 3: because so it's just as like it's it's not just
Speaker 3: the decision of like kids versus no kids, it's the
Speaker 3: decision of my life is radically changing in terms of
Speaker 3: like the possibilities of who I surround myself with.
Speaker 1: Do you want kids? Oh?
Speaker 3: My god, absolutely not Okay, and you've always known yes,
Speaker 3: it's actually the only thing I've known clearly. I feel
Speaker 3: like everything else about me, I am my jury's fully out. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like I don't even know what the options are, but
Speaker 3: that one New York versus LA. It's a New York
Speaker 3: versus LA.
Speaker 4: But I love, you know what I love?
Speaker 3: I have a niece, obviously, we love having niece.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, they all have nieces.
Speaker 3: We all have nieces.
Speaker 4: We all have nieces.
Speaker 3: Yeah. How old are mine?
Speaker 4: Lives?
Speaker 3: Literally a walk away from no, that's amazing. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: like want to see her, bitch of the day care.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, get her out.
Speaker 4: I know we should have her on as a guest.
Speaker 3: She's got her on the pod. How old is she?
Speaker 3: She's like nineteen months at this point. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: she's tiny. She's really small. And you're about to turn three. Oh,
Speaker 3: oh my god, how old is your nine? You guys,
Speaker 3: And I'm having those feelings of I don't want her
Speaker 3: to age. Yeah, well, it's like going to become so back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like a weld bitch. She came to my show.
Speaker 3: By the way, she came to my show, and she
Speaker 3: after she goes, she kind of liked it. I mean,
Speaker 3: are you like so cool to her? I both cool
Speaker 3: and not cool. Like she won't talk to me on
Speaker 3: the phone. She only talked to her friends on the phone.
Speaker 3: She does not want to talk to me. But then
Speaker 3: when we're around each other. I love her so much,
Speaker 3: but I can really see how like the sadness of
Speaker 3: kids aging, you know, because you want them to be
Speaker 3: little forever, which is like crazy because that's literally not
Speaker 3: what they're meant to do. It's also I mean, not
Speaker 3: to it happened. I'm trying to not say it happened
Speaker 3: so fast, because that is a cliche, but that is
Speaker 3: the point I'm trying to make. It's like, think about
Speaker 3: when you were young. You know, four years was such
Speaker 3: a long time, I know, and it's like, wow, we've
Speaker 3: changed so much since fifth grade, y'all. Now, if you're
Speaker 3: a parent, four years goes like that, goes by like that,
Speaker 3: you have like three late nights at work. You've missed
Speaker 3: a year of your kid's life that's never coming back.
Speaker 3: I mean, talk about misery, folks, literuly, I mean truly,
Speaker 3: because that parenting is is misery. It's and it's just
Speaker 3: lost after loss after loss after I mean, like and
Speaker 3: that I don't think I'm emotionally mature. That's why, by
Speaker 3: the way, I'm just not emotional and be okay with
Speaker 3: doing so much for no gratitude in return the opposite
Speaker 3: even now that I.
Speaker 2: Like, well that's that's like, that's part of the what's
Speaker 2: the point where I'm like, there's this fantasy of like, well,
Speaker 2: when they're twenty five, they're going to be like, damn
Speaker 2: you rock that, mama, and it's like no, no, they're
Speaker 2: going to be like.
Speaker 3: You didn't give me enough, Like I can't stand you
Speaker 3: even now, I know I'm not grateful enough to my parents.
Speaker 3: I talk about it with my sisters like I'm never
Speaker 3: gonna go and be like, hey, I just wanted to say, like,
Speaker 3: you guys did a really good job, because then they'll
Speaker 3: say something and you'd be like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever they say, we'll be wrong, and then the
Speaker 2: cycle starts a little bit.
Speaker 3: It's like whatever, you know. They love to say the
Speaker 3: wrong thing. God, and I honestly like respect it. Like
Speaker 3: they're playing straight shooters and it's like right thing wrong
Speaker 3: things like wrong.
Speaker 4: Wrong.
Speaker 2: It's such an interesting thing where I like you almost
Speaker 2: like I'm confusing. People are like hurt by it because
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, that's parents. I know they say the
Speaker 2: wrong thing.
Speaker 3: That's parents. My mom loves to do this thing where
Speaker 3: you'll complain about something in your life and her response
Speaker 3: would be like, well but you chose that. It's like no, yeah,
Speaker 3: like oh my god, that's so. But when you say
Speaker 3: it again, because it kind of was like thrilling, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: especially when and she won't even mean it in like
Speaker 3: a negative way.
Speaker 4: It's I'll be like can I say, can I try one?
Speaker 3: And I want you to say it yeah, like I'll
Speaker 3: be like, God, it's like, I obviously I like the
Speaker 3: freedom of being a freelancer, but it's just like constant
Speaker 3: rescheduling and emails and sometimes the day ends and I
Speaker 3: feel like I haven't done anything. Well you chose that.
Speaker 3: That's like every conversation with my mom, I like really
Speaker 3: felt something. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: I'm addicted because that she reminds me of myself. I
Speaker 2: love to do that to people, like be like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: maybe you should change, Like I'm so deeply unhelpful.
Speaker 3: It's interesting. It's on the opposite end. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: that that makes sense person. Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 4: I actually that's a good person to be. Well, sometimes
Speaker 4: you need.
Speaker 3: To be that person. It says, yeah, I hear you
Speaker 3: complain about this a lot. I did, I know it
Speaker 3: seems like you should make an adjustment that type of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: My mom always goes for always she's so proud of
Speaker 3: me as a performer d but she's like, she always goes,
Speaker 3: how many seats are there? Oh my mom? My mom
Speaker 3: is always Yes, she also goes, how do people find
Speaker 3: out about it? How where do the people?
Speaker 2: Then parents loved quantity quantity, and then they go, well,
Speaker 2: you will they be having you back, and you go, no,
Speaker 2: it's just a one time thing.
Speaker 4: It's like immediately you're trying to impress it.
Speaker 3: My mom is there was a very long period where
Speaker 3: she was obsessed with asking is the venue in Brooklyn
Speaker 3: or Manhattan?
Speaker 4: Which is her way being like, so is it valid
Speaker 4: or not?
Speaker 3: And I would be like Brooklyn should be like, oh, oh,
Speaker 3: well that's okay, you'll get there one day, sweetie.
Speaker 4: Literally wow.
Speaker 3: But then it's like I would do a show Manhattan
Speaker 3: and I'd be like Manhattan, expecting her to be like, congratulations.
Speaker 3: She'd be like, and how many seats, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: smaller than the Brooklyn one. Actually, like the Brooklyn one
Speaker 3: was sort of bigger, nagging yeah wow. Or of course
Speaker 3: the worst thing is like being at a show them
Speaker 3: maybe not getting it and being like, well people were laughing.
Speaker 3: People seem to really like it. It seems like a lot
Speaker 3: of people really like that. And by people, by the way,
Speaker 3: I don't mean me.
Speaker 2: I've had that's a classic. I love when that's like
Speaker 2: people seem to really enjoy that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my god, oh chilling, because it's like a
Speaker 3: horror movie hearing you guys say these things. It's like,
Speaker 3: I'm like chilled.
Speaker 2: It's tough about I'm the way that I'm I'm radically
Speaker 2: unfortunately full of nothing but forgiveness for everything.
Speaker 3: My parents ever say me too, Like it's so weird
Speaker 3: to me too. At first, I would the twenty years exactly.
Speaker 3: It's like, because I had a forgiveness, I.
Speaker 4: Would have forgiven.
Speaker 2: But it's maybe I'm like doing the thing where I'm
Speaker 2: putting myself in the audience too much.
Speaker 3: With them.
Speaker 2: I'm like, like, I do love to be like, well,
Speaker 2: I would probably say that if I had no idea
Speaker 2: what comedy was like, like.
Speaker 3: Oh god, we also, by the way, have no idea
Speaker 3: what we have said to people with different jobs that
Speaker 3: has been completely insulting, stupid, basic, I mean, not to
Speaker 3: be a bit. Our entire podcast is like what straight culture. Ye, No,
Speaker 3: we're okay, wow, so we're sort of we're not looking
Speaker 3: at the people. It's in the mirror, Okay, Well, we're
Speaker 3: like performing ignorance, were right, Yeah, that power move it's
Speaker 3: what Donald Trump does. Ever go there. I don't know
Speaker 3: if we can put this one out. I don't know
Speaker 3: if we can put this one out. No, now, more
Speaker 3: than ever it's important to speak out and to say
Speaker 3: we don't want this administration. George, sorry, we're gonna lose
Speaker 3: our funding. I know you say that you don't want
Speaker 3: to talk about politics because you're a centrist and you
Speaker 3: know you have to make some good points, but we
Speaker 3: have to especially make an a fuck. Okay, okay, vote
Speaker 3: for gabbing you some.
Speaker 4: I love how you Yeah, some I feel like.
Speaker 3: This is okay? You know how. There's like a few things,
Speaker 3: right have a slant accent? Sure that is one of them.
Speaker 3: What we just found one? Yeah, and people say I
Speaker 3: say New York like that like like then we're like
Speaker 3: and another one is like when I say singer, singer, singer,
Speaker 3: I think that's really but I'm not trying to so
Speaker 3: that there's that new Yeah, there's like a couple of
Speaker 3: things and it's like I have been found out and
Speaker 3: and I was the part of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how does it feel too?
Speaker 1: A million.
Speaker 4: Normal?
Speaker 3: I really feel anything, but they're supposed to a RB.

Speaker 2: r B and we go a r B and then
Speaker 2: okay a or B hey okay AIRB hey, okay a

Speaker 3: call me Friday. Let's just exploit it the process.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's.
Speaker 3: Really really good. Okay, that's really.
Speaker 2: Really Glorioate of New York City.

Speaker 3: you something?
Speaker 2: This is potentially extremely boring, but I'm going to say
Speaker 2: it just in case it's.
Speaker 4: Not, which is sort of how I do things.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, George and I were supposed to have a call
Speaker 2: with a business hall.
Speaker 3: We've had countless of these calls. They're usually that I'd say.
Speaker 2: Of any business call I've had has been completely pointless
Speaker 2: and morning. And I was traveling yesterday and so I
Speaker 2: was like, George, can you just do it without me?
Speaker 3: And he was like totally. I got off the flight.
Speaker 3: He's like that was the most important calling.
Speaker 2: He was like, I learned so much stuff and we
Speaker 2: actually need to talk about a lot of things.
Speaker 4: And I was like, that sounds like you're in trouble.
Speaker 3: When I heard not his fault, it's just like I
Speaker 3: we really thought it was going to be like okay,
Speaker 3: like look through whatever, do it so we're going to
Speaker 3: hit end, and it was like we need an itemized
Speaker 3: list of, you know, the issues that.
Speaker 2: We're gonna there's a lot we need to discuss about
Speaker 2: moving forward and whoa and like there's so many choices
Speaker 2: and like so many things we need to think about.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this has never in my life happened.
Speaker 3: And you know, I'd be lying if I said there
Speaker 3: wasn't a part of me that thinks that George just
Speaker 3: wants to punish me. It is not my fault. So
Speaker 3: where does that come from? Yeah, I was just kidding.
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. No, no, no, And I was gonna kid
Speaker 3: also and be like, well, because the truth, right, Because

Speaker 3: by not moving to New York. Okay, I'm really glad
Speaker 3: we're here and I just want to hang out in
Speaker 3: this This switched to me recently where I was like,
Speaker 3: I in no way had held any resentment, like obviously,

Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's that's when gay people can be straight as well. Yeah,

Speaker 3: Say, because you have a pre war building.
Speaker 4: Is that?

Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Here he goes breaking a buy his pre war building.
Speaker 3: Some of us live in la against our will. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they didn't build anything before the war. There there were
Speaker 3: no war to have a pool and a lesbian landlord. Jesus,
Speaker 3: I live in a pre war building. You have a
Speaker 3: pool in the lesbian landlord?

Speaker 3: Can I make it anywhere obvious? Oh my god, I
Speaker 3: love this.
Speaker 4: I love fighting.
Speaker 3: No, I do too, me too.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 3: So where's theater going? And what's your relationship to therapy?
Speaker 3: I am such a bad therapy being therapy, really really
Speaker 3: so bad at it. I would think of you as
Speaker 3: I know I think that way. I present vegetarian and
Speaker 3: as being good in therapy, but I am no steaks
Speaker 3: left and right, well done, only steak, yeah, paleo, raw
Speaker 3: meads and absolutely defiant therapy subjects. We're talking in like
Speaker 3: psycho analysis or like a CBT type. We're like talking
Speaker 3: goldilocks to modalities. We're like and we're talking getting evangelical
Speaker 3: for a week about it, never calling the person back. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I feel much more comfortable. And this is we can
Speaker 3: talk about it in the in the therapist chair.
Speaker 4: I do too, and I.
Speaker 3: Actually, I actually do think I give really good advice.
Speaker 1: I bet you do.
Speaker 3: I would love to have the kind of relationship where
Speaker 3: I ask you for it, yes, at some point, but
Speaker 3: it's well, then maybe what we can do is I
Speaker 3: can give you advice and you can give me advice
Speaker 3: since we're both really good therapists. Yeah, bad patients. It's
Speaker 3: about being seen about bad patients exactly. It's about being
Speaker 3: seen being vulnerable whatever, and I'm just like, I can't
Speaker 3: trust this person. They're not gonna this is this is
Speaker 3: not going to work well. Needless to say, the main
Speaker 3: issue with therapists is the entire time you're like, so
Speaker 3: are you smart or not?
Speaker 2: Well, that is the main issue. It's sort of like actually,
Speaker 2: pop quiz, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: It can be my therapist.
Speaker 4: It is a little bit like so, pop quiz, am
Speaker 4: I smarter than you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It's like did you watch the rehearsal and what are your.
Speaker 3: Thoughts on it? You know what I mean? You my
Speaker 3: last episode right right?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Like do you think you know Emma Stone deserved the oscar?
Speaker 1: Like it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Politically like how do you post yes, exactly? Politically
Speaker 3: how do you post.
Speaker 2: I want to know, like what, like when something crazy happens,
Speaker 2: what do you post?
Speaker 3: Because that would really inform a lot for me. What
Speaker 3: kind of memes are you resharing? Yeah, I like therapy
Speaker 3: therapists who talk like I just don't want to talk,
Speaker 3: which I know it seems like maybe I talk, But
Speaker 3: I like that's why I like psychics because they just talk.
Speaker 3: That's very relaxing to me. I mean, I would it
Speaker 3: if they just like looked inside of me, told me
Speaker 3: like what same told like, let go of this. Nobody
Speaker 3: needs to hear it. That's because, by the way, talking horrible.
Speaker 3: It's also like, yeah, I'm telling you, I'm telling a story.
Speaker 3: You're not going to get the truth out of me.
Speaker 3: I don't even know why, Like I might as well
Speaker 3: just be on stage and at least I'm getting paid
Speaker 3: instead of paying you four hundred dollars by the way,
Speaker 3: So well, no, I'm not everyone. Yeah, no, neither of I. No,
Speaker 3: I haven't been it doesn't doesn't work. So doesn't work.
Speaker 4: You have a psychotic break?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Literally, do I have a psychonic No?
Speaker 3: No, I haven't been there since like twenty twenty one
Speaker 3: or twenty twenty two. But I'm actually looking to get
Speaker 3: back into it, So please write in, and you want
Speaker 3: to do you want to do like I mean, I
Speaker 3: ultimately do want to do Goldilocks because I think, like,
Speaker 3: can you what's called are just like a mix of modelity,
Speaker 3: like you know, she goes from room to each product,
Speaker 3: because I'm like, I please don't write in, but like
Speaker 3: everything put the pen down. When I read about real planelists,
Speaker 3: I'm like, you guys are crazy. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: be put in the care of someone who is insane
Speaker 3: and is like having visions all day long, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? Totally. And then of course the CBT
Speaker 3: with like on the other end of the spectrum, they
Speaker 3: like don't even care about the reasoning for everything. They're like,
Speaker 3: do your worksheet and you're like my mom said, They're
Speaker 3: like that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Do your work set.
Speaker 3: Well, that also doesn't work, right, So we need someone
Speaker 3: emotional intelligence.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what?
Speaker 3: You know what we need?
Speaker 2: Basically every therapy session ever should be filmed couples therapy style,
Speaker 2: and then we should be able to watch and be like,
Speaker 2: I actually really like this one and.
Speaker 4: I agree because it's it is very personality based.
Speaker 3: Well, that's such a good point.
Speaker 2: If I could hire Orna this second, I would, Oh
Speaker 2: my god. But to have to get to know someone
Speaker 2: through them doing therapy on me, no, I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I need to see how you've done with others. Yes,
Speaker 2: and then I don't know if you'll be able to
Speaker 2: work with me.
Speaker 3: Well do you read the description, They're like, oh, they
Speaker 3: specialized in Like the description is bullshit. It's like you
Speaker 3: specialize in that, have like the constitution? Show me the results. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's literally like the Constitution.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, in theory, I guess what you're actually happened?
Speaker 3: What really happened? Yes, okay, I got it, but what happens?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because like if I could watch the couple's therapy
Speaker 2: of what the Constitution has done to the country, I'm like.
Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, that's Hamilton.
Speaker 4: It doesn't work, and that's not Hamilton.
Speaker 3: And that's on Hamilton.
Speaker 1: What about E M.
Speaker 4: D R.
Speaker 3: Anybody doing that doing that? What about dbt O? What's
Speaker 3: dB named?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: All, now, which is the one where you have you're
Speaker 3: like have different with like the light and the No, no,
Speaker 3: I mean literally like you are like taught to think
Speaker 3: of yourself as having different compartments and then they it's
Speaker 3: like integritive internal family system. Yes, yes, wave parts work,
Speaker 3: yes exactly, Yeah, firefighters managers. Yes, it's like okay, suddenly
Speaker 3: it's the United States of terrast during Tony Collette and
Speaker 3: the gay kid and.
Speaker 1: The gay kid. I've never seen it. Oh love has.
Speaker 3: Multiple personality disorder and it's written by Diablo Cody. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: it's really good actually, and there's a really sweet gay
Speaker 3: kid and it's like a really sweet representation.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: That was when TV was good. Sorry, that was like
Speaker 3: that was a TV show. Yeah, I want to say
Speaker 3: like twenty ten, if I had to guess, pre Enlightened
Speaker 3: like around the same time as Enlightened. Anyway, now we
Speaker 3: have the Hunting Wives. Oh did you think you finished?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I finished. It was amazing, but really bad for culture
Speaker 3: and the world. I finished. Yeah, it was like exactly
Speaker 3: the emotional vibration I can handle, though, Like I can't
Speaker 3: handle anything more more emotionally provocative. You know, totally, it's
Speaker 3: like that. That's kind of Netflix show is all like,
Speaker 3: I know, it's hard. It's hard because I would hear
Speaker 3: people say things like that. Yeah, it's like when people
Speaker 3: are like this happened a lot during the pandemic where
Speaker 3: they're like, I can't even watch the whole shows anymore.
Speaker 3: I just go on TikTok. You hear people say things
Speaker 3: like that and you're like, oh my god, no, and
Speaker 3: then you start seeing it happen to yourself, or like
Speaker 3: when people used to say I don't read books anymore,
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's ridiculous, right. But then I did go
Speaker 3: through a phase in approximately like twenty twenty three where
Speaker 3: I did have a difficult time finishing books. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's coming for me.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing worse than gaining empathy for an
Speaker 2: opinion you think is bad. Literally, like, it's so much
Speaker 2: easier to just be like they are the other. I
Speaker 2: am not that, yeah, but it's tough when you get
Speaker 2: empathy for them and you're like, damn, we can all
Speaker 2: be that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, empathy is not all it's cracked up.
Speaker 2: To me, I'm finding myself. My family is currently fighting,
Speaker 2: and they're in huge fights, right, that political thing, no,
Speaker 2: but just they're just fighting money. But I can't and
Speaker 2: as anyone knows, I've been watching Modern Family constantly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I don't know why. But something about Modern Family's
Speaker 2: really hitting. But recently, since my family started fighting, I
Speaker 2: can't watch Modern.
Speaker 4: Family because it is their conflict.
Speaker 2: Because the conflict every episode's a little conflict, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: they're not handling this right. They're not handling this right.
Speaker 2: And yes, it ends up finding the end, but I'm
Speaker 2: like that was really dangerous.
Speaker 4: This could have gone sad, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, Okay, we lived to see another day.
Speaker 2: Like, but they're gonna get another conflict and they're probably
Speaker 2: not gonna hitt it well.
Speaker 3: It's really weird to be like over it. After fifteen seasons,
Speaker 3: Modern Family ended with them having a blowout fight and
Speaker 3: like not speaking to each other again, full rift, and
Speaker 3: then the gaze are like, you know what, like fuck
Speaker 3: all of you, Like we've always felt like you've been
Speaker 3: really condescending to us, and like we don't even like
Speaker 3: this lifestyle, like we don't like.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's part of me that I am like,
Speaker 2: I know this show is completely off the air, but
Speaker 2: I keep wanting to like I'm like I need to
Speaker 2: write in because like you need to write it. I'm
Speaker 2: like Cam and Mitch need to love each other more.
Speaker 2: They how come they only get silly conflicts they never
Speaker 2: get like, we don't have sex anymore, whereas like Claire
Speaker 2: and Phil, we don't have sex anymore.
Speaker 4: Plot lines.
Speaker 3: By the way, this is what it's like coming on
Speaker 3: our podcast us talking about modern family storylines and you
Speaker 3: having to be.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, that's good.
Speaker 3: So talking to a niece booking you after your show,
Speaker 3: is booking you after your shows? Sit there sort of
Speaker 3: like look cute while we're like talking about good I'm
Speaker 3: really grateful.
Speaker 4: It's tough.
Speaker 2: It's tough when you have a good point that isn't
Speaker 2: relevant to the conversation at all.
Speaker 3: Wait, oh, that's too late.
Speaker 1: I've been really feeling.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to start a new point, but
Speaker 3: it's do we need to wrap up?
Speaker 2: Okay, But I do want to say this is this
Speaker 2: episode has been interesting, Oh god, because I feel that, no,
Speaker 2: in a good way, a good way. I feel that
Speaker 2: there's there's points where about you really connect and I
Speaker 2: I go sort of like, and I'm here too.
Speaker 3: That's because we live in New York. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 3: New Yorker thing. And then I feel we're like going
Speaker 3: to plays and galleries and like you're you're going to
Speaker 3: like see time you know, it's their different cultures. I
Speaker 3: just mean like there's like a thing.
Speaker 2: There's almost something like threesome about this that is like
Speaker 2: different than I don't know, like normally it's like we're
Speaker 2: the couple and you're the third, but like this one,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, sometimes you got you're the
Speaker 2: trouble and.
Speaker 3: Really yeah that that came up for.
Speaker 4: You a little, but not the way that I dislike,
Speaker 4: Like in a way, I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, this isn't appropriate. He always does this, like trying
Speaker 3: to have like dress with a friend, Like you're trying
Speaker 3: to like having a.
Speaker 4: Three you're trying to out your show that's over, Like
Speaker 4: it's not.
Speaker 3: So where can people see your.
Speaker 1: Show when this show is over?
Speaker 3: It's so funny. One of my favorite sort of perfect things, yeah,
Speaker 3: is like recasting like this happened with Cole, like writing
Speaker 3: and performing something that is so you, and then because
Speaker 3: of the way theater works, having someone else played like
Speaker 3: it happened with Headbig, like whatever, Yes, could you imagine
Speaker 3: someone else doing the show? Oh my god? I mean
Speaker 3: I guess yours is more difficult because there is like
Speaker 3: personal more you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, is there like a could someone build upon it?
Speaker 2: Since you're like drawing from someone else's work. They could
Speaker 2: we could add a third perspective, right, Oh.
Speaker 3: My god, it's always three Simes with you. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ? So there drinking it at the airport exactly,
Speaker 3: chatterbait in the middle of de gaul. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3: of person that potentially could have a brand sponsorship at
Speaker 3: the US Open. I'm a very beautiful and successful comedian, performer, writer. Yes,
Speaker 3: I am really killing it at the adulting game. Daily.
Speaker 3: On the daily, I wake up and I say, fuck,
Speaker 3: I'm good. And so I just want to say I
Speaker 3: love every US Open sponsor, each and every one of them.
Speaker 3: I use all the products, and I would be more
Speaker 3: than happy to more publicly sing the praises of anything
Speaker 3: from American Express to Polo Ralph Lauren to fai Ya Yogurt.
Speaker 3: Actually I had a delicious one before I came here.
Speaker 3: Wilson Tennis Rackets. You know, I'm definitely down to get
Speaker 3: into sort of playing doubles tennis on a Saturday morning,
Speaker 3: and pretty much I have an amazing time there. Every
Speaker 3: time I go, I always pay exactly two hundred dollars
Speaker 3: to sit in the final row in section three twenty one,
Speaker 3: and I would love to spend zero dollars to sit
Speaker 3: sort of court side next time I go. That would
Speaker 3: so that would be really amazing. And so twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six is the tiar that that will happen for me.

Speaker 3: of the day and you say why why did that

Speaker 3: way to proceed. You say, you know what, let's wash
Speaker 3: the little recycling and let's put that plate into the
Speaker 3: drying rock, and let's put that silverware back in the
Speaker 3: silverware drawer, and you want to know what you're going
Speaker 3: to feel a little better, and that one degree of
Speaker 3: feeling better is going to set the rest of the
Speaker 3: day a little less fad. And so I want to
