1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hootie. Who this is George. I just wanted to check

Speaker 1: Festival website, and at the Allusion website later this week.

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: They're not there now, but I promise I'm not making

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: it up. Okay, bye, Okay. Podcast starts now once, everybody,

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: and welcome to Stradio Lab Wow. To immediately start with

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: an I roll. George, we need this. You cannot believe this,

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I said, I said. First of all, I did a

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: little shoulder move, kind of like one of my classic

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Fario moves. I said, I've had too much coffee, and

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: then I did a shoulder to a shoulder what would

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: you call it? Like a shoulder shimmy, almost oulder shimmy. Yeah,

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: And then you rolled your eyes and said, okay, let's start.

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I think a huge point of UM disagreement is on

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: our moods in the morning. Sure, you love the stuff,

28
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you are so into it, and I'm at my most

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: not loving the stuff in the morning, which is fine.

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I think that can be a beautiful relationship, but I

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: do think it shifts our dynamic. Whereas you know, I

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: think potentially, UM, canonically you would be the grumpy one. Um.

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: You come in with this like peppy energy and it's

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: like and I'm like, so like okay, we get it,

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: and being like a bitch about it right, well, you know,

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: I think, And we'll talk about this a little more

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: when we bring in our guests. But you know, our

38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: guest is also a colleague of mine today and for

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: us during the weekday mornings mean a very specific thing,

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: which is that we work in a kind of a

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: breaking news news room and from eight thirty PM sometimes

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: even earlier through lunchtime, we are on the clock looking

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: for the breaking news stories, seeing if Megan Markel attended

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: an event in Boston, seeing if you know Ben Affleck

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of left his apartment and wore a T shirt.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: And so so when in the weekend I have the

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: morning free, it is, I mean, the world is my oyster.

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: I can go out and I can purchase an ice Americano.

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I can go into my kitchen and I can hot

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: cottage cheese on a piece of toast. These are things

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: that I normally cannot do at you know, between the

52
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: hours of nine am and twelve pm on a weekday. Sure, sure,

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: And so I think, and I think part of why

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I've really started advocating for recording on I would say

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: brunch time on Sundays is because I can kind of

56
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: instill the recording with a sense of, um, just kind

57
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: of careless. What's not carelessness? Um, care free, your freeness,

58
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: thank you, yes, d vive care freeness yes and so

59
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: um and I stand by it. And if you're in

60
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: a bad mood, I'll tell you this. I'm in such

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: a good mood, and I'm going to bring you right

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: up to my level. I don't know if that's how

63
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: it works, but um, I love the idea. Wow shut

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: down yet again. I just think I think it's more

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: of like a It's like a slow warming up process

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: like I need, like, um, I need to get there

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: on my own, and no can get me the course

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: of course. And to be candid, you know, I went

69
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: to bed early last night and woke up today at

70
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: around eight thirty, which is not normal for me on

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: a week and so I'm I'm way ahead of you

72
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: in that regard. You know, this has been yesterday when

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I woke up hungover, um and kind of trying to

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: stuff tailing all down my throat. It would have been

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: a different story. Um, speaking of your hungover, do you

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: want to talk about this thing that happened to you?

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: You know, your big NYC socialite lifestyle. You know what.

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm taking a risk. I really am taking a risk

79
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: by addressing this, and I hope that it pays off.

80
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I think it will. I think I think it will

81
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: pay off in ways that we won't understand for a

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: long time, but it will pay off. I want to

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: make it so clear. It's difficult because I feel like

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: people assume people will assume I'm somehow being ironic or

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: um not earnest in my excitement about this, And I

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? I know what you mean.

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: That's a fear. But yeah, I think you just have

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: to trust the audience and trust that they'll read your

89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: tone a sincere yes. And I also don't want to

90
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: what's the word? What do you do de privacy? Violate,

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: violate anyone's privacy? What's the It's interesting. It's interesting that

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: I actually so awake and supposedly alert, and yet I

93
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: can't think of normal English words subscribing it as that

94
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: is really fun? Though. What's the thing that I always

95
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 1: do to private? Violate? Always? So basically, long story short.

96
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: On Friday night, I found myself at a birthday party

97
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: in a bar in beautiful sunny Brooklyn, New York, and

98
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: I met one miss Alison Roman, and we had a

99
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: full conversation. It touched on New York versus l A.

100
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: It touched on our experiences of the Bay Area, and

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: there was one more thing we have talked about that

102
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: that I can't think And you know, again, I don't

103
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: want to blow her spot because this was this was

104
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: a normal, friendly conversation. I'd it not. I do not

105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: go into it as a fan. I do not go

106
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: into it as a stand I did not go into

107
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: it as someone who has emailed her to be on

108
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: our podcast. I went into it as a human and

109
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: as a New Yorker and as a person who was

110
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: also at this party. And that's all you can do.

111
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: And the fact that I went into it had the

112
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: conversation left. You know, she had other things to do.

113
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: I had other things to get other people to talk to.

114
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: And I thought, should I address that on the pod

115
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: in the hopes that someone who listens then tells her,

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, they really want to go on the pod?

117
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: Or would that be ghost would that be crossing a line?

118
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Would that be violating her privacy? Well, ultimately decided to

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: speak out. I think it's important to speak out. And

120
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I think, as I always say, well behaved podcasters rarely

121
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: make history. And I think it's important to make a splash.

122
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: And I don't think, you know, it's sort of shoot

123
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: your shot mentality, like you just have to do it.

124
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: But also for for context people that don't know, this

125
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: is a podcast about gay culture, but it's also a

126
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: podcast about making a podcast. But it's also a podcast

127
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: in which we talked about Alison Roman. That once every

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: three months. Once every three months, we talked about Allison Roman,

129
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: each time with more enthusiasm. I would say a recent

130
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: peak was when we went on a depending on who

131
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: you ask, either gay or straight vacation where we basically

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: made an entire meal of Alison Roman recipes. I would argue,

133
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: and it was your first time having one. I've literally

134
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: you saying the word Alison Roman on like episode three

135
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Was the first time I heard her name.

136
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: And then that was my first time having any of

137
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: her recipes, and I had three at one. You had

138
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: a dip, you had a potato salad, and you had

139
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: a different kind of salad that that is now escaping me.

140
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I was loving them. They were so good. I was

141
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: all in. So then I was like, well, finally it's

142
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: time we got to get her on the pod, right,

143
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: so I can say things and I do think she

144
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: and again I don't want to project this on her,

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: but in my mind, she is in an era of

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: her public life, her career where it actually would make

147
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: sense to come on this pot That's how I feel.

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: I think it would make complete sense. Yeah, I actually

149
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: think what's difficult. Is that it's up to us to

150
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: make the cell. Yeah, what would be good about coming

151
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: on this particular podcast? Um, you know, listen, I think

152
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: it's always good to let your hair down and prove

153
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: that you have a sense of humor. She is working

154
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: so hard releasing videos every Tuesday. She just made pizza.

155
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: You know, what if she what if she has an

156
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to be on camera without having to create a recipe,

157
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: without having to you know, talk to her director off

158
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: camera and say, oh, make sure to cut this part.

159
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: Make sure to add this part in, you know, just

160
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of be a guest for once, not a host.

161
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: So you're saying she's using food as a crutch and

162
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: it's time to just that is actually what That is,

163
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Actually what I'm saying, And thank you for putting it

164
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: in such blunt terms, because to me, it's like, listen,

165
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: why is it always about food with her? It's so crazy.

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: It's like she's obsessed with food in this way. It's like,

167
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: is this really about the food? Yeah? And sometimes I'm like,

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, why is she so obsessed with food

169
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: and not with analyzing straight culture that would be more

170
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: relatable to me. It's kind of something I also do

171
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: in my day to day life, that would be so

172
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: deeply relatable. And I think to many many people, because

173
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: food is like, yeah, some people do it. But talking

174
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: about straight culture, yeah, that's sort of in a what's

175
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: the word, with an ironic uh, sense of detachment? I think, sure,

176
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: that's more relatable. Yeah, and no one's really talking about

177
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: things with an ironic sense of detachment. These gays. You

178
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: need to. You need to. She needs to get her

179
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: ass up and work at having an ironic sense of detachment, absolutlutely.

180
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm actually I'm gonna do a

181
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: quick I'm gonna do a quick search of the comments

182
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: in her latest YouTube video go on straight or lab

183
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: go on trade Orla go on trade or lab going

184
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: straight or like wow, wow, that's amazing. And I actually

185
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the profile pictures. It's people of all ages,

186
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: all diverse, all walks of life. It's interesting. Everyone actually

187
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: is begging, oh wait, I'm reading the comments to oh

188
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: my god, everyone's posting there's socio economic background, Oh my god. Diverse.

189
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: It's extremely diverse. We have like really really rich people

190
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: and really really poor people. It's amazing. Wow, this is

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: and you know what I think is like, each one

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: of them has their own community. So if she comes

193
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: on the podcast, then inevitably her audience will grow. All

194
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: these people begging her to come on the pod that

195
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: will then tell their friends to listen. I mean, it

196
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: could actually kind of be the little And you know,

197
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: I heard she's in the prizit of promoting a u

198
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: CNN show. Do you know what I would do if

199
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: I were promoting a CNN show probably going to hit

200
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: podcast on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. Well, you

201
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: know who I think would be a great person awag

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: in on all of this our guests, potentially our guest.

203
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Can you believe? Okay, oh, here it comes. I'll say this.

204
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: The fact that I get paid to read our guests

205
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: writing multiple times a day is one of the great

206
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: joys of my life. And the fact that I don't

207
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: get paid to read our guests writing is of the

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: You do it anyway, and I do it anyway, and

209
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: it's just one of the gray crimes of this century. Yes,

210
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: I do think. You know, first of all, I think

211
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: everyone who reads it should pay. Should venmo her venmore request,

212
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I'll give everyone a dollar. So, without further to do.

226
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: get Allison Roman on the pod? Well? Here I first

227
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: of a clarifying question for you. Did you see my

228
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: dog sail on the background there? But he's being such

229
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: a good boy. Well I thought it was a cat,

230
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: to be honest, I know he's got sort of got

231
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: that mentality to him. Um. My question is when you

232
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: approached Alison Roman at this birthday party, did you do

233
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: any sort of acknowledging that you had already reached out

234
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: to her or had the podcast people reach out to her.

235
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: This is a great question. That's a great question. So

236
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to say I have to really

237
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: give a shout out to myself and pat myself on

238
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: the back for being extremely natural throughout this. We we

239
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: just happened to be in the same group, and I

240
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: just like, you know, and and so I was like, oh, George, Allison, Allison.

241
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: And then we just like had a normal conversation. It

242
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: was about this New York. Yeah, Like I didn't go

243
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: up to her and tap her on the shoulder and

244
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: say like, you're Allison right, you know, it was it

245
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: was natural. You know, George, this is where I'm worried

246
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: that you are lacking in that killer instinct you think.

247
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: So I was going to say the same thing. I

248
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: think Claire was making a genius point. Yeah, I think

249
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: you played it safe. If I think you let fear

250
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: take over, I think so too, Enjoy because I thought

251
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I thought the opposite. I was like, I'm being so natural,

252
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it's all all in good time, you know.

253
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: I think it actually would have been even more threatening

254
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: if I had if I had kind of grabbed her

255
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: by the shoulders and said I could have done it

256
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: more tactful way. Yeah, I think that is a way

257
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: to sort of um um, yeah, I don't know how

258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: you would do it, but there's got to be a

259
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: way to be like, this is crazy, but I host

260
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: a podcast that we talked about you once every three months. Yeah.

261
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's the right line either. This

262
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: is but I've been like, we like make jokes about

263
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: you all the time. Yeah, I'm sure if you would

264
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: love to hear that, you could just say you make

265
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: her recipes all the time? Did you do that? Well? No,

266
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's whatever. Tell her about the

267
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: gay straight vacation. No, for all she knows, I have

268
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: no idea who she was. Right. See, this is a

269
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: hard thing about celebrities. This is the hard thing because

270
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: you do want to express to them like you don't

271
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: want to be because it also feels like lying to

272
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: be like yeah, pretending like I feel like I'm being

273
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: like manipulative and pretending I don't know that because it's

274
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: like I know you like, but also like you don't

275
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: want to freak them out and have them like explain

276
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: like you don't want to go into Q and A mode.

277
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: Did you ask her what she did for a living?

278
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I did not ask for that, but but this reminds

279
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: me of do you remember Sam the incredible story that

280
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: I told about someone I know who was at a

281
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: dinner party with Sarah Bareles but didn't recognize her, didn't

282
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: know who she was, so he was like, so what

Speaker 1: do you do? She's like, I'm a musician, and he's like,

284
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: and he also has like a you know, he has

285
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: like another career, but then he also plays guitar in

286
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: his free time. And he's like, oh me too, Like

289
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That's also like the most classic sitcom set

290
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: up in the book. Yeah, no one intervenes in time.

291
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: It's very Mary. She's a gifted comedian. Yes, I would

292

294
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: I want to say Sarah's actually I think she's using

295
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: music as a crutch. That's a good you know what,

296
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: I'll say, Sarah bros really really actually is an incredible,

297
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: gifted comedic performer. Yeah, you're a huge fan. I'm a

304
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600

305
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: like well not that you know, and and she would

306
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: like really sell it in a way that the average

307
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Broadway musical performer just doesn't have those chops. You know,

308
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I guess I'll guess I'll take the second shift. You know.

309
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: It's sort of like a rare talent you don't see

310
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: much anymore. Like Stonemasonry, there aren't a lot of people

311
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: love to teach that kind of commy. Yes, Stonemasonry and

312
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: delivering comedic lines on rock musicals are two dying forms.

313
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: I have a similar story of someone not recognizing a

314
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: famous person. My friend was working at the Jane Hotel

315
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: and Kristen Wigg was having a party to celebrate getting

316
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: nominated for an Oscar for writing Bridesmaids, I think, and

317
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: she So there's like a big guest list and he's

318
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: like checking people in at the door and Kristen Wigg

319
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: comes to the door and it's like yeah, I'm like,

320
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: it's my party and he was like what's your name?

321
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: And her name was not on the list because it

322
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: was her party, so she was like, it's Kristen Wig

323
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: and he was like, yes, sorry, you're not on the list,

324
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: and like literally held her at the door and then

325
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: like I think he like was not ever allowed to

326
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: work like at an event again after that. He did

327
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: not know who she was and that was impressive to me.

328
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: I hope that he has learned since then and watched Bridesmaids.

329
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: I think he has learned who she is at least

330
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's watched Bridesmaids, but I'll check

331
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: in on that. He was fired for not supporting women

332
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: in comedy, and honestly, it was a correct choice. Yeah, yeah,

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: could you imagine I would be so upset if you

334
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: It was like an yeah, me too. But also I mean, okay,

335
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you like to think that you would find it funny.

336
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: You have to hope you gotta laugh, Yeah, like if

337
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm celebrating being nominated for an Oscar and so and

338
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm not on the list, that's funny. Sure, you've already

339
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: got your kudos, and it's probably just like a funny

340
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: story to tell at that point. I don't want it

341
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: to be too down on himself. Yeah, it's a fine line.

342
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: You know. You have to first be objectively successful and

343
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: then you can laugh at yourself. Yeah, we're all working

344
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: towards it. Yeah. Oh yeah, we're getting there. We're getting

345
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: there slowly, but surely, I mean as soon as Allison

346
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: comes on, Yeah, then we'll have made it. I think

347
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: you'll have Allison on in the next three months, truly. Okay,

348
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: we'll pull some strings. I actually I hate to say this,

349
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: but I did actually email Alison Roman. Oh yeah, you

350
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: did less than two weeks ago, trying to get her

351
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: to quote on something. I'm not going to say. What. Well,

352
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's behind the paywall. Yeah, I think,

353
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, it might by the time this episode comes out,

354
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: it will be out already, I think. So we can babies.

355
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: But but well, well, let's just say you're writing about

356
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: a certain food that we should we just do that,

357
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: like a certain food something that I thought that, you know,

358
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: two three sentences from Alison Roman, it might add something

359
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: to the piece. Yeah, you were reaching out to various

360
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: food influencers exactly. Yes, Yeah, Emilie Morico did also not

361
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: email me back, but many people did a lot of

362
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: people did. And that's what matters. And that's what matters.

363
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: You have to focus on the winds nuts why I'm

364
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: here exactly. But I'll say this about I'll say this

365
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: about Allison. You know, reading the draft, her silence was deafening.

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I've read the draft and there's

367
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: an Alison Roman size shape whole in it. Let's just

368
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: say that I agree, the shape of a shallon. Remember

369
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: when Christie Teakin said she cried every time she saw

370
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: us shall itt you know Christie teakn Let me tell

371
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: you something. Did you see footage of Christy tign at

372
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: Bravo Bravo Con? No? No, So she apparently was at

373
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: Bravo Con just as an audience member. And the funniest

374
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: thing that I heard was that at no point did

375
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: Andy say hello to her or bring her up. She's

376
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: just like, was there. I mean, she was in the

377
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: v I p A. It's possible he didn't recognize her,

378
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: like the Christen Wigs situation of the game. Yeah, very much.

379
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: So it's just something she had to buy a g

380
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: A ticket. He didn't recognize her with her new eyebrod transplant. Claire,

381
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: she did have an eyeb red transplant that she did.

382
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: She is open about, so it's actually not offensive to

383
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: bring it up. Yeah. Oh, I'm not outing anything about

384
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: her eyebrow transplant. She's been She's actually done a lot

385
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: for the community. Yeah, and I have the community by

386
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: being vocal about it. And I want to say, if

387
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: you did not know that Christie he got an eyeb

388
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: red transplant, you're not paying attention exactly. Yeah, I actually

389
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: need to do more. I had no idea and it's

390
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: really problematic. Yeah. Wow, here's a question. Should we do

391
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: our first segment? I think we should. I agree, even

392
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: though I, oh my god, performance performance nominated for an Oscar. Okay,

393
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: Sarah Barella is found dead. You know that I've asked

394
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: George several times to sing the national anthem at the

395
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: beginning of a Stradio Lab live. Wow. I had no

396
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: idea that that's something that's something we should start doings

397
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: have a different person seeing the national anthem the way.

398
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: We absolutely need someone to see the national anthem at

399
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of every Stradio Lab live show. And yeah,

400
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be me. I only I can

401
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: do it once. I can do the inaugural one if

402
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: you want, I'm free. That would be huge. No, we

403
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: have to have that. I want people to take their

404
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: little hats off and put them on their chest or whatever.

405
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: And I just want to kneeling. And when we say

406
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: when we say the national anthem, we are, of course

407
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: referring to fight song by Sarah Burrows. Yes, sorry, And

408
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: I know it was clear for everyone who's you know

409
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: who's a listener, but just in case that wasn't clear,

410
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Claire will be seeing a fight sung by Sarah Borrows

411
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: and people will be kneeling in protest. Wow. That sounds amazing. Yeah,

414
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,359

Speaker 1: asking you a series of rapid fire questions this thing

416
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: or this other thing, and you simply pick one. Beautiful.

417
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,119

Speaker 1: I I actually am going to tear up and and

419
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: write a book about how proud of you I am.

420
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: I used to be so scared to describe this segment.

421

Speaker 1: trying to be a good co host seriously, m Yeah,

458
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: Or was it being selfish by by being like, why

459
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: aren't you more like me? Right now? Oh well, we'll

460
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: leave it up to the readers. Yeah, and you know,

461
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Claire Claire. At first your performance,

462
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: I said, oh, no, she is overselling how much she

463
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: doesn't know about the segment. You know, At first I said,

464
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: I said, oh, I don't want her to overact. Allah.

465
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: You know Uma Thurman in most films. Okay, I did

466
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: not know that's where that was going. Whoa. But but

467
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: then but then I thought, oh, she's making a choice

468
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill exactly so and so

469
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: and so. I think actually it was a perfect performance.

470
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: So to be clear, Yeah, you're saying that Claire made

471
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: a choice to be overacting and too much from the beginning.

472
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: In the beginning, yeah, to ham it up, I think,

473
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: and I think you know what it was. But was

474
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: I hamming it up before the segments started or when

475
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: you introduced the segment? When I was lying when you

476
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: introduced the segment exactly? Segments coming but during it that

477
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: was genuine surprise. Of course, during it, I thought you

478
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: were great. I thought the fact that you answered, you know,

479
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: the curling iron one, curling iron one, like wiping the

480
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: DNA off the curling iron, and the fact that you

481
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: remember that word for word, had the confidence to choose it. Yeah.

482
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: Is the segment over? Yes, this is now. This is

483
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: now where we are rating you verback because I actually,

484
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: this is what I was going to tell you before recording.

485
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: I actually wrote some straight shooters for you guys. Oh

486
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: my god, Oh my god, oh my god. Over all, Okay,

487
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: this has never been done. Well, I wasn't going to

488
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: do it because I didn't want you guys to think

489
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: I was like a total kiss ass, especially because you know,

490
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: like I'm George's executive assistant, so essentially this is unethical.

491
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: You even really generous boss, But I didn't want him

492
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: to think like that. I was jockeying for super executive system,

493
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe the whole company. Yeah. Well, it's tough, you know,

494
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: because there's no upward mobility with Claire's executive assistant role.

495
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: I keep telling her, I keep telling her, you know, yeah,

496
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: maybe we can find a place for you in calms

497
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: or or in marketing. Um, but listen, I'll be honest.

498
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: There are no open positions, there is no path forward. Okay,

499
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: then I guess I can do the straight shooting. I

500
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: think I think you should. I think you have nothing

501
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: to lose your in your reputation era, and I think

502
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: your role is my executive assistant. It's kind of the

503
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: ceiling really of where you can go. Like, yeah, so

504
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 1: you have nothing to lose, but at the same time,

505
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: you have nothing to gain, which makes it ethical. Okay,

506
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: if you guys get under doves, George has George has

507
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: to start paying for my health in chance. Okay, fine,

508
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: health insurance is really cheap. I've heard helping. I've heard

509
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: that the system for health insurance in this country is good. Yeah,

510
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: so fine, what's that good? Yeah? I don't care. I

511
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm my god. Alright, Claire, I'm well, I'm excited.

512
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: Well wait, should I wait to hear? Do you guys

513
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: want to rank me an hour or later? Sure? What

514
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: do you think? George? Just give me my grade now? Okay?

515
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: I think, well, great, George, I think that you were

516
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: at a perfect score before you announced that you had

517
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: prepared s trade shooters yourself and my and right now,

518
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I can't decide if what you are doing is extra

519
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: credit or if it's undermining us as hosts, in which

520
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: case you would lose points. Sam, what do you think

521
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to go eighty seven doubs? WHOA, that's really good.

522
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: That is really good. Thank you so much. I wasn't

523
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: expecting it at all. Yeah, I don't mean to undermine you.

524
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: These are no no, if they're better. If they're better, Claire,

525
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: you will have to leave the zoom. Okay, Okay, we'll

526
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: see what happens. Okay, so I guess rolled the roll

527
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: those sound effects, Yeah, that was actually going post. I

528
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: don't know if that we don't play them when we record.

529
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Isn't jarring that you guys were just like doing it

597
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: like having to fit into one film books like yeah yeah. So,

598
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,759

601
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean this podcast is only listened to buy industry insiders,

602
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: so I think that's actually huge. Like agents and managers.

603
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: Agency managers love this podcast. That's what people are always doing.

604
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: You know. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that

605
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: this podcast has listened to specifically by the community that

606
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: is industry insiders with no actual power. It's you know,

607
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: it's it's people that it's exactly it's people that are

608
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: inside the industry enough that it's flattering to me when

609
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: they tell me they listen. But then when I'm like

610
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: what about, They're like, no, I can't do it. That

611
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: is so correct. That's actually the most accurate description of

612
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: our audience I've ever heard in my entire life. They

613
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: somehow do all work in all the powerful industries, and

614
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: yet they are not tangential. Yeah tangential. Yeah yeah, So

615
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: it's not going to be the CEO of Neon, No,

616
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: it's a podcast for the rest. Right. Wait, so you

617
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: guys decided on cats killed girls? Yeah? Oh yeah, keep going, sorry, yeah,

618
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: keep going. I only have six more? Oh my god. Okay, okay, okay,

619
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: we'll go fast, rapid fire fire okay. Walking the dog

620
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: or the dog walking you, the dog walking you, Nelson

621
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: Mandela or the butterfly effect, the butterfly butterfly effect, the

622
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: Gettysburg address, or you wear those shoes and you will

623
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: wear that dress? Oh kiss me, you know the song

624
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: randomly I'm gonna go Gettysburg Address. Yeah, me too too.

625
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: Really noble creatures, you too, Alay ready old enough to

626
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: run errands in rural Japan for your mom? Or Mrs

627
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself, the first one.

628
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: Old enough enough, old enough to run errands for your

629
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: mom in Japan or Japan Japan. Yeah, okay, two more, okay.

630
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: Squashing lantern flies? Or would you love me if I

631
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: was a worm? Squashing lantern flies? Ye, lantern flies. So

632
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: you guys are saying you wouldn't love me if I

633
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: was a worm? Oh my gosh, we're saying the question

634
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: is preposterous. Okay. Final one, pleading guilty or pleading innocent

635
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: due to reasons of insanity. Pleading in God, I've always

636
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: want to do that. That is such a slight. But

637
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: I didn't do it hard like what you'd be like

638
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: I was. I was insane that time. You did a

639
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: really good job. It wasn't good enough to get me

640
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: health insurance from Georgia's LLC, but um, it was really good.

641
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: I would say it was like seven doves. Wow, that's amazing,

642
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: good score. Thank you for sharing. Um, I was in

643
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: that powerful. Yeah, no one has done that before. We've

644
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: done they've done at live shows. But that's it. I think,

645
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: I think, I think that we should introduce our topic. Claire,

646
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: you brought a topic to us that is so juicy

647
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: and actually I would say I would say Halloween adjacent.

648
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: You're right, and would you like to introduce what it is? Yes,

649
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk today about overhead lighting. Wow.

650
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring it to you both today because

651
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it's an instinct, particularly that straight men go

652
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: for um this very like institutional and therefore extremely oppressive.

653
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: Bright sometimes Halligen just you know, sometimes run of the

654
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: mill sixty what M raining out on you? Um, it's

655
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: certainly to turn on an overhead light is like a

656
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: decision from someone who has never been afraid to be

657
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: them in public. Yeah, yeah, you're like, sure, I guess

658
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: we can light my body in whichever way exactly. And

659
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: it's also thinking this one light suffices for every single

660
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: bit of facial definition on any sort of body or

661
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: any sort of person. Yeah. I really think that it's

662
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: actually something that people who don't have to think about

663
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: mood or setting just go straight for. I think that's

664
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: a genius topic. I hate overhead lighting. Of course I'm

665
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: not insane, but I wish I wish it worked. Like

666
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: there is something about like how nice to just like

667
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: walk into a room and flip the switch and the

668
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: big light up top comes on and everything is beautifully lit.

669
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: It's too good to be true. That's that's kind of

670
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: so so much of of culture is that way. You're like, oh,

671
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: how nice. If the nuclear family worked. It doesn't. This

672
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: is the kind of running theme with many of these

673
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: straight topics. It's like, well, yeah, they're too good to

674
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: be true. I mean, it would be great if, you know,

675
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: how convenient, if if if there were two different kinds

676
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: of gender and we could divide people fifty that sounds

677
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: mathematically so convenient. Honey, it doesn't work. It just ain'ts so,

678
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: it just ain't so. I mean, it's it's this overhead

679
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: lighting is kind of the rejection of nuance. It's like, oh, yeah,

680
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: no one, it doesn't matter what anyone's angles, art, doesn't

681
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: matter what anyone looks like, it doesn't matter. Um, you

682
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: know what the different time of day is, just put

683
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: lights somewhere. Well, no, it doesn't work like that. It

684
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. And I think it does work

685
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 1: for people who have power. And I I mean, don't

686
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: even get me started on the hegemony of con ed Yeah, okay,

687
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: actually I actually do want you to get started. Yeah,

688
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: please get started on that. Listen, it's not right that

689
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: we have privatized power in water in this country. Okay,

690
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: you are actually hitting the nail on the head here,

691
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: which is that you are It. Not only is overhead

692
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: lighting aesthetically bad, it is quite literally a conspiracy. It's like,

693
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: we are paying to look ugly exactly private corporation. Monthly,

694
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: we're paying rent. We're paying rent to a company whose

695
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: job it is to make us look as ugly as possible,

696
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: entirely in front of our friends and loved ones. I know,

697
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: and I'm saying like if I you know, I I

698
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn, But if I had a little tiny

699
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: solar power grid, sure, I ostensibly could run all of

700
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: the lamps in my bedroom, but I couldn't fund the

701
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: overhead light like that, so it's wasteful too. Well, there's

702
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: also like ways to I guess. I guess this is

703
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: the point that I've of course been making and planning

704
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: to make all along. Of course, Okay, so I think

705
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: that there is a certain queerness to adapting to dimmer lights.

706
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: There's a reason why we say things are in the

707
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: shadows or under the covers. That originally was an act

708
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: of resistance against overhead lighting. And yet community was found

709
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: in these sort of shadowy spaces, these sexier lit boudoirs,

710
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: these these tavernas, these restaurante I cannot believe how genius

711
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: you are. This is so smart. I mean literally, like

712
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: gay bars like have a dark room, like need I say,

713
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: more like the darkness place necessary for queer culture, whereas

714
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: straight culture is obsessed with light. Right, and for so

715
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: often queer people were erased by the official um, by

716
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: official government bodies. I'll go so far as even to

717
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: say that. And overhead lighting is the official lighting of

718
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: government buildings. It's everywhere, you know, you go to the

719
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: d m V, you go to the courts to be

720
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: tried for sodomy. You know, George, try this. Do you

721
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: go to a freaking high school? Go to a high school,

722
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: you go to a high SPoD I've never seen a

723
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: high school with tasteful lamps? And why not? And why not?

724
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: And why not? You can get a tasteful lamp. It's

725
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: not hard. They keep libraries cold, and they keep schools

726
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: over lit as a means of control. Yes, oh my god,

727
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: it's cars. Overhead lighting is cars. Its quite frankly, well,

728
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, don't don't even get me started on you know,

729
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: prisoners of Yeah, well okay, yeah, maybe don't get we

730
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: actually can't go there if we want to get Alice

731
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: in Roman. But it does kind of make you think, like, wow, um,

732
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: what a utopian vision for all these different places to

733
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: rather than have overhead lighting, have a bunch of cute

734
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: vintage lamps, you know, maybe like a little a lamp

735
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: with you know, kind of like an Etsy lamp made

736
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: of shells, and or like then like a really design

737
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: e Danish lamp that you found in a state sale. Yes,

738
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: Like how much more welcoming. What Let's say you go

739
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: to jury duty, it's time to to hear what the

740
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: cases about. How cute would it be if there was

741
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: a little if if there was a little you know,

742
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: lamp with a kind of pink que you know, maybe

743
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 1: homemade the artists signed did she's from Kentucky. Absolutely, it's amazing.

744
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: Part of the profit goes to like queer youth like,

745
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, would be amazing, or even just local theater,

746
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: local theater. I guess that's the same as Queer Youth

747
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: sort of keep the keep the cash in the community.

748
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: Though it's not a national organization for queer queer youth

749
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: in theater. It's you know, specific to your neighborhood. I

750
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: mean basically, rather, I think what I'm getting from all

751
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: this is like, rather than conn of being a private

752
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: corporation that makes us pay it for our own uh,

753
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, our own Dare I say oppression, Yeah, but

754
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: it's it's yeah, it's it's oppression. But it's also kind of, um,

755
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a sort of dysmorphy. We're paying to

756
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: have dysmorphia. Exactly, we're paying to have dysmorphia rather than

757
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: a private corporation profiting off of our dysmorphia. What if

758
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: it was what if basically we replaced kand with a

759
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: lgbt Q nonprofit that gave that gave out either designer

760
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: lamps or homemade Etsy lamps, and then all the money

761
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: from that went to funding arts education. Yeah. And the

762
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: n g O is called the Light Bringers. Yes, and

763
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: the logo is like a little a little kind of

764
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: a little queer kid holding a kid. Oh my god,

765
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: it's Lady Liberty holding the torch. But instead of Lady Liberty,

766
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: it's like a little kid, yeah, wearing a play crown.

767
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: And actually, torches and candles are good. Um, It's like

768
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: that's the ultimate. Um. Candles are resistantic lighting candles. Candles

769
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: are resistance because you're even saying, I'm going off the

770
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: grid tonight and yet I'm still getting what I need

771
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: and I'm still getting light. Exactly. Yes, I'm one of

772
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: the most to read forbidden fiction, of course, because because

773
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's cameras in those lights, those overhead lights,

774
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: people are watching, and the candle says no more, no more, surveillance.

775
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: Date it's saying I'm reading my band book here in

776
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: my cabin in an empowering, beautiful way to be wearing

777
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: a nightgown, to be wearing a nightgown holding a candle labra, Yes,

778
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: no one does. That guy is really trending right now, though,

779
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: that guy like the Honks shoe me me, Me me

780
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: me guy, the guy, the guy in the stocking cap,

781
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: like we're seeing a lot of memes of him as

782
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: a concept lately. I think, actually, well, I actually think

783
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of memes usually do come from queer culture, specifically,

784
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: I think black queer culture. And listen, I don't want

785
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: to speak out of turn here, um, but I do

786
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: think that when something is welling up originally on Twitter

787
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: with young queer creators, it's going to make its way

788
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: to public consciousness in about seven months. Sure, And do

789
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: you think that right now, as queer creators, we are

790
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: generating buzz for an anti overhead lighting craze that's going

791
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: to sweep the nation and approximately seven months. Absolutely, And

792
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 1: that is why I came here today. Well, I think Claire,

793
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: you're even saying one step further than that is it's

794
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: not just little lights that are gonna be everywhere. It's

795
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: hunk shue me me guys. It's Canda Lava guys. It's

796
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: nightgown guys. Like right now, it's like it's giving it's

797
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: carrying slay House down boots Mama in seven months. Literally,

798
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: Cande Lava's nightgowns. Um hunk shue me me, me me

799
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: me Complately, it does seem like the final frontier of

800
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: fashion is just being wearing a nightgown, holding in Candelabra

801
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: walking down Fifth Avenue. We're basically already almost there. I mean,

802
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: don't even get me started on knap dresses. Okay, this

803
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: episode literally called don't get me started. The amount of

804
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: things I can't say on this podcast because y'all are corporate. Now, no, no,

805
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: we have to actually talk about nap dresses because nap dresses,

806
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: I think are if candel Labra and nightgown is queer,

807
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: knap dresses are trying to package that and sell it,

808
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: and that's unethical. I completely agree. It's basically um pay

809
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: paradise put up a parking lot. Wow. Exactly, exactly, Wow,

810
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: Well that's really powerful. How do you feel about like,

811
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're used to of course, we

812
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: are surrounded by our queer chosen family. So there's a

813
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: lot of cute lamps everywhere. But sometimes you do enter

814
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: an apartment and you see someone still living under overhead lighting,

815
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: and Sam, you know you've had that experience. Actually we've

816
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: had it together. We had a vial you. You had

817
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: a violent reaction once when we entered a space that

818
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: that had overhead lighting. Well, I was going into a

819
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: space that was a party space that I actually thought

820
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: was a space for allies, as the people who lived

821
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: there were in a queer relationship with each other, an

822
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: alleged same sex relationship. And um, so I walk into

823
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: this party space expecting utopia. Of course, I you know,

824
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: in my day to day it's just straight straight trait.

825
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: And I thought, wow, Friday night, I can go be

826
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: queer and empowered in a space. And I get there,

827
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: the lights are fully on, fully on overhead lighting. And

828
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: the craziest part apartment beautiful walls painted beautifully there, It's

829
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: decorated like gorgeously. And then the lights overhead lights are

830
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: bright and shiny, not even dimmed, just in every room,

831
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: right over single room, every room. And so as a

832
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: radical act of resistance, I started turning lights off at

833
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: the part how many people were at the party was

834
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: pretty full house. Yeah, Like let's say, like, and did

835
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: people think that you were turning the lights off because

836
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: you were trying to like get it sexy in there?

837
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: Like were people taking your act? Were they receiving it

838
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: in bad faith? I think they were receiving it in

839
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: good faith. I felt like they were, like, like I

840
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: think everyone most a majority of the partygoers were like,

841
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: thank you for this. And and then when it then

842
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: then the lights were in fact turned back on um

843
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: by um potentially a tyrant host whoa No, the host

844
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: was fine. I would understand. It's difficult because you know,

845
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: people have internalized the overhead lighting mentality. You know, it's

846
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: like it's like being gay and wanting to serve in

847
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: the military. Well, you know, you're like, you know, you

848
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of think, I mean to me, it's like, thank God,

849
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm gay, I don't have to go to the military.

850
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: But then some people are like I still want to, right,

851
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: Like I can I can do anything that they can do.

852
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: I want exactly well, right, and and then and similarly,

853
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, you can be gay and be like I

854
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: can have overhead lighting. Can Yeah, I think like what

855
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: I learned from this experience. It was sort of a

856
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: like a parable for like going through the proper channels.

857
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: Like if I had, you know, sort of changing the

858
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: system from within the system, I should have discussed it

859
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: with the hosts sort of pitched a change, and and

860
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: me just throughing sort of like guerrilla lighting warfare was

861
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: maybe not the most effective way to get the lighting change. No.

862
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: I think it was really brave of you. It was

863
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: very much like those girls throwing soup at the painting.

864
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: That was it was grass room big, that was everything

865
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: that was. They ate when we were talking about this

866
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: on like Friday or whatever day that that stup incident

867
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: was George kipping like it's behind glass. I was not

868
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: the one that said that. Wait, who said it? Sarah

869
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: said that, And then I was kind of like I

870
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: was getting a little I was like, I was like, Okay,

871
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: just because it's behind glass doesn't mean they should have

872
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: thrown soup at it. And what were they protesting again?

873
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: Climate oil? Oil? Okay, but what's ironic? You've got they

874
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: glued themselves to the wall or something. If you've got

875
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: super glue or sticky stuff on your hand or whatever,

876
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of olive oil or a little bit

877
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: of grape seed oil is going to get you on stuff. Wow? Right,

878
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: so wow, that's so fascinating that they created a situation

879
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: where they actually needed more oil. I'm telling you, Yeah,

880
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: that's pretty Yeah, and yet we're talking about it, aren't we. Yeah,

881
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: I stand. I'm like, I've always been like, I've always

882
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: been like, why are there more like climate terrorists? That

883
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: seems like the most obvious thing to be a terrorist.

884
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: I completely listen. I'm not gonna. I don't like, actually

885
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: earnestly want to debate this. But I'm also like, I'm like,

886
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: why he does? Why they are like just why don't

887
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: you throw a soup? Cannot like a politician? Now that

888
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: I would be in supportive. No, I agree with that.

889
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I agree, And well, was it

890
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: about like where is that painting? By the way, where

891
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: was that the Louve? Maybe no one knows, no one knows,

892
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't been reported. Let's say it's at the Louver.

893
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that they were doing something like maybe the Louver

894
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: needs to divest from No, it was it was that

895
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: that was part of it. And I did read that,

896
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: and I and I oh, okay, okay, also George. Maybe

897
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: it was like an open mic like climate terrorist thing,

898
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: like maybe they're like practicing before the politician. Actually, that's

899
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: a really good point. There should be more open mics

900
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: for climate terrorism where you can try out different grassroots

901
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: direct action methods and then people will be like, oh,

902
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: maybe not the soup one. Yeah, that didn't quite work,

903
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 1: but you know, the soup was really working, but maybe

904
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: the location was off. Yeah, those girls are like going

905
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: from Mike to Mike doing the soup thing and being

906
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: like it's just not hitting, Like I feel like it

907
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: works in Brooklyn rooms but not in Manhattan rooms. Oh god, yeah,

908
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: this crushed at Pine Box, but then when we did

909
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: at the loub it didn't work. I didn't see that.

910
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Their louver are so like rigid. You know, all tourists.

911
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: It's all tourists, and they like if you know, don't

912
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: speak English, and so you're like doing your soup can

913
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 1: bit and they don't even get right and they miss

914
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the nuances of the joke and maybe

915
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: they don't understand like why it's a soup can or

916
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: the context for it. But at the same time, like

917
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to change for them. Guy will throw

918
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: the soup onto the painting? Can I ask you guys

919
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: as comedians something? Yeah, what what was the joke of

920
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: the soup? Can? Like? Why why they chose? Why they

921
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: chose soup rather than an either liquid? Well, actually, I

922
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: want to clarify something. It was beans. It was a

923
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: tin of beans, and no one's reporting that. People and

924
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: the tin of beans. That's why you're a journalist, thank you.

925
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: I guess my question is what what was the joke?

926
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 1: And like, was it a visual prank? Was it word

927
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: play on tin of beans or something? Like? Why? Why

928
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: did they do it? What's the funny part? I think

929
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: you're kind of point I think you're pointing to the issue.

930
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't funny enough, which is of course that like

931
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, comedy has to have a clear, clear target,

932
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: a clear purpose, a clear point of view. And there

933
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: was something a little broad about throwing at a painting. Yeah,

934
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was giving sitcom. It was very much um,

935
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, it was very It was extremely multicam. Yes,

936
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: it was very you were like expecting a laugh track.

937
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: It was oh, slipping on shaving cream like yeah, but

938
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: you know what though, on the other hand, to play

939
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate, you know, sometimes you need multi cam methods

940
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: to appeal to a mass public. Yeah. The average person

941
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have time to say that. Yeah, the average person

942
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have time to like think about the specifics of

943
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: a direct climate action act. You know, they just will

944
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: remember the soup the beans. Yeah, completely, Yeah, but I

945
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: think we've done more for awareness in the last ten

946
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: minutes talking about this than any headline I've had so far.

947
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: Completely agree. Okay, if you guys were going to commit

948
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: one terrorist act to get people to get rid of

949
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: their overhead lighting, what would it be? Question? I know

950
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: exactly what I do. What would you do? Lighting aisle

951
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: at target, bucket of pigs blood more? I do not

952
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: have to explain that one. So it's interesting, Claire, You're

953
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: going for a destructive path. I'm going to go for

954
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: a more um enlightened Yeah. So here's what I'm gonna

955
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm gonna do. And this is actually the

956
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: opposite of of Claire's strategies. Rather than destroying overhead lighting,

957
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to add non overhead lighting. So I'm gonna

958
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: get a bunch of homemade Etsy lamps and and go

959
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: around to government buildings and put them on desks put

960
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: them on counters, put them on like in the office,

961
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: in the cubicle of someone who works at the d

962
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: m v GO, and I am adding beauty to people's world.

963
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. It's kind of Banks. Yeah, who is a terrorist?

964
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Ye, Banks is a terrorists. You heard

965
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: it your first That's what we heard in the art community,

966
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: the worldwide art community, which which we are a part. Sam, Sam,

967
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: what would you do? I mean, I guess, Sam, to

968
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: be honest, you already I mean, what started this conversation

969
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: is your own direct action that you did at a

970
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: friend's house. If I were to have one criticism, it

971
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: would be that you're going rather than thinking big and

972
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: going to a government building, you're in fact terrorizing a

973
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: friends apartment. It's very like the queer community turning in

974
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: on itself. You know. It's it's very toxic, it's very

975
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: bros discourse. Yeah, Um, I think that's so true. And

976
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: um I think honestly, my dream protests would be Unfortunately,

977
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: you have to start by getting like nominated for an

978
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: Oscar and even winning, and then I would have like

979
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: I would like instead of going like they'd be like okay,

980
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: and now best actor in a drama, Sam Tagger, I'm

981
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: going to win for that. And then and then I'm

982
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: not there and instead I'm in the back and I

983
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: turn off all the lights. Wait, that's so powerful, chills. Actually,

984
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: I have a better idea than when I told you

985
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: guys about the pigs. But okay, what is it. It's

986
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: a it's a little inspired by Sam. Okay, We're in

987
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: a huge, huge party in a warehouse space busch wicknights

988
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: dot dot dot. Okay, it's that Girls episode where shows

989
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: does the c incident. Yeah, the three of us are

990
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: vibing in the middle. Basically, what's going to happen is

991
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: we're all okay, we are not lit by overhead lights

992
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: in the warehouse because it's a converted space. Maybe twinkle lights,

993
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe fairy lights, Christmas lights. Something happens where in the

994
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: heyday of whatever this factory is that we were in

995
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: that was all overhead lights. They have the mechanism all installed.

996
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: I turned them on. Wow, Everyone's like, what the freak

997
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: is going on? Everyone's attention. They look up. Then it

998
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: pitches into total blackness, and then one spotlight comes on.

999
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's Claire Claire, Claire, Okay, everyone's sharing my name bucket

1000
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: of pigs blood. Wait, oh wait, Claire, Claire Claire, I

1001
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: can't help but feel you're centering yourself in this narrative

1002
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: in a way that's not necessarily helpful to the cause.

1003
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: And also, yeah, it's a it's a short film. Also,

1004
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh and then you screen it. Taylor Swift directs it.

1005
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh and it's a music video for for Midnights, the album. Yeah,

1006
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: it's for Karma. Oh. Interesting, So once again I'm really

1007
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: the political messaging is really getting lost. I have to say, yeah,

1008
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: it's And I also have one more question. So when

1009
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: you do so the pigs blood, where is that going?

1010
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: You've already you've felled off the legs, We've turned on

1011
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: the spotlight. Everyone's screaming your name, and then who do

1012
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 1: you you doubt? And EIGs blend yourself forgot I forgot

1013
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: to tell you that this we took a Chevron executive

1014
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: out for his birthday. Okay, So so this is all Okay,

1015
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: So you're actually not centering yourself, you really are. You

1016
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: have a good target of your of your critique. You

1017
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: have like an Chevron executive, And I'm sort of like

1018
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: being in a honeypot situation where I'm like learning him

1019
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: to the club. I don't mean to flatter myself. We

1020
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: could get an actress in there if we know. I

1021
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: believe in you're believe in yourself. Okay, you're right. I look,

1022
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: you can seduce a Chevron executive. George, do you mean that?

1023
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 1: I do? He mean? Thank you so much. I believe

1024
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: all of my friends could um seduce a Chevron executive.

1025
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: It's part of the believing yourself. Basically, anyone can. And

1026
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: to be honest, no offensive Chevron executives, Like I think

1027
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,959
Speaker 1: they're a homely bunch. Yeah, Like I think it'll be easy.

1028
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: I've seen hustlers. Yeah. Well, I think what we're pointing

1029
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,479
Speaker 1: to is like people. I think a lot of people

1030
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: when they think about seducing a Sevron executive, they think

1031
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: they think about their body and they think about their looks,

1032
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, actually, it's all about personality when you're

1033
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: seducing a Chevron executive, and like they're not shallow people,

1034
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: and it's about self love. Like if you love yourself

1035
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: then you can then then a Chevron executive will love

1036
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: you under false pretenses. You know, Claire, I have to say,

1037
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I can't help but feel that you were inspired by

1038
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: the Soup Girls, and that now you're actually doing oil

1039
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: activism rather than overhead light activism. Like you know what.

1040
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: The second that I said Chevron, I was like, oh, shoot,

1041
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 1: I think we were actually talking about right, right, would

1042
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: be an executive Well, I guess Chevron's in on it too.

1043
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: There's coding, you know, there's always that's always well, I

1044
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: guess that's kind of how it connects, is that oil

1045
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: like those girls, in a way, we're protesting overhead lighting, right,

1046
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: synergistic linking. And also they're doing it in a in

1047
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: a museum, one of the main places that has overhead

1048
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: lighting truly, And can I just say, wait, museums though

1049
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: they kind of make overhea lighting look good. Well, yeah,

1050
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: it's because how do they do You're always complicating things

1051
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: on this show. And that's what I love about Stradio

1052
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Lab that it's like, we think we reach a conclusion

1053
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: and then there's a little bit of a twist of

1054
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: the knob there. And I actually really think what Sam

1055
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: is saying is so important because museums in some ways

1056
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: are actually the worst offenders of all this because they

1057
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: make it look good, which then encourages the proliferation of

1058
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: overhead lighting, because everyone's like, well, if it's good enough

1059
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: for the met, it's good enough for my party. That

1060
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: is so true. Wow, Wow, And I'm even thinking about

1061
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: museum selfies. Y'all take a museum selfie, but I'm not

1062
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: taking a selfie any where else unless um it's like

1063
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I have, you know, like a vintage er Mes scarf

1064
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: placed over the lamp. I of course feel so sexy

1065
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: in a damn museum. How do they do it? We

1066
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: need like we actually need to talk to a lightning expert. Now,

1067
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: it might be that, or it might just be like

1068
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 1: because there are docents and security guards around, like there's

1069
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: an inherent sexiness to that, Like law enforcement is sexy

1070
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: to you is on record, they don't have guns, okay, sure,

1071
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: and they're protecting the art. There's something about like the

1072
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: forbidden fruit of it all. Of course, of course a

1073
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: lot to chew on. Yeah, I feel like this, you know,

1074
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: this is very much. Nevertheless, she persisted, I think there

1075
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: was a point where I think we all were like, oh, no,

1076
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: is this recording ruined? And then it was like, actually, no,

1077
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: this is proving that out of darkness comes light, And

1078
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: can I actually say one more thing. The fact that

1079
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I turned my camera off is the ultimate fuck you

1080
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: to overhead lighting, because not only am I in the darkness,

1081
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: I am fully blacked out. Oh my god, you're right,

1082
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: you're really well lit in your profile photo though, Yeah,

1083
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: thank you very much. There's a tiny George icon of

1084
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: him speaking into a microphone in place of George's actual

1085
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: physicality on our screens right now. Yeah, I prefer to

1086
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: send a headshot rather than Um, should we do our

1087
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: final segment? I think we must. I mean, if only

1088
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: I had an idea of what mine would be. Oh,

1089
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: I have one, but you can. Will you explain it? Yes,

1090
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,919
Speaker 1: I will explain it, Claire. Our final segment is called

1091
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: straight or sorry again, Oh my god, she's losing in folks.

1092
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Our final segment is called shout Out. And in this

1093
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: segment we pay homage to one of the founding art

1094
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: practices of straight culture, which is the radio shout out. UM,

1095
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: think TRL, think Z one hundred Z Morning Zoo. And

1096
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: so we are going to give shout outs to things

1097
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: that we are absolutely living for and cannot get enough

1098
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: of and are are and things that are slaying in

1099
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: our lives. And Sam, would you like to go first?

1100
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:18,080

Speaker 1: watching The Great British Bake Off. My alternative indie days

1105
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: are dead in a ditch. I am normal, I'm in

1106
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the monoculture and I just want to say that Yanush

1107
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: has stolen my heart, this Polish baker. Every time he's

1108
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: on screen, I say, ah, who is this man? I

1109
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: have not had a crush on a reality TV show

1110
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: contestant in such a long time, and oh, baby, does

1112
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Instagram and I think it will be boring and I

1113
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: think I will regret it in two years, but for

1114
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: the first year, it could be exciting to see what

Speaker 1: highlighting those that keep a designated pair of scissor is

1146
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,280

Speaker 1: to cut stage still time, Parsley chime and basil over

1151
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,599

Speaker 1: Alice and Romans dining in. Brought it back and brought

1153
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,280
