00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: makes any sense, and anyone who has ever, ever, ever

Speaker 1: an announcement for you. You can't hear us, but we

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: see you. This is at that time thing. Yeah, because

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: we forgot to mention are two announcements once again, Well

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: we mentioned one of them that is true, so we

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: don't have to do that one anymore. What's oh, yeah,

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: that's right, we did, Okay. The other announcement is we are,

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: in fact, honestly it might even be sold out by

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: the time you are listening to this, but we are

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: in the last few remaining tickets for our live show, which,

Speaker 1: love to see you there. And also if you don't

Speaker 1: live in New York City, then we hope to come

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: to your city soon, stay tuned, And essentially that's the

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: only notice one we want to make. This one's actually

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: get sure is this that we have this live show

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: and that it's um close to selling out, So get

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: your tickets if you want them close to selling out

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: and or sold out and or sold out. And I

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: just want to be very candid about something. We don't

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: actually have plans to go to any other cities anytime soon,

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: but I feel like it would be nice if you did. No,

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: I agree, would be nice to have plans school to

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: the city. I was surprised at what you were trying

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: to get at with that little thing. I was like,

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: is he trying to project like a more important version

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: our podcast or is he making a joke about having plans? Um?

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: It was. I was confused on the messaging there. It

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: was weak joke writing. Um. But that's pretty much all

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: we want to say in other announces what we actually

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: say within the episodes, and just spoiler alert, it's that

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: we're having an ernest bananza, but we are not saying

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: it now, We're saying it later. We're saying it later,

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: and then when we get into the episode, there's something

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: else that we're not saying, so that's kind of cool. Um,

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: there's always something we're not talking about, and that's actually

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: really helpful. It's important to not talk about everything but

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: tease it. Say oh I could, but I'm not going to. Yes, Well,

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: everyone loves that. I think something everyone can get behind

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: is posting, maybe posting online something like big news coming soon.

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: We love when people do that, or or like wish

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: I could talk about this thing, but I can't. Yes,

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: or the girls are going to go wild. One of

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: my favorites is you know, just got my dream job?

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for details. I love dream job posts. I

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: love it mostly when it's you can tell it's not

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: a dream job, it's just a job, and they're really

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to make it important because the only way people

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: have value is, um, if they have dream jobs. And

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: that got ark fast. Yeah, well I'm thinking about one

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: specific person and um, listen to the earnestness bananza. I'll

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: drop who they are. Oh my god, we're going to

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: actually be really meaning the earnestness bonanza. The gloves are

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: coming off, babe, babe, and the teeth are coming into

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: our mouth. We are teething, that's right, Sam and I

63
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: have bought teething toys and we keep munching on them

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: because our new teeth are coming in and it's quite painful.

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: That's right, We're babies, get it yet? Did you know

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: that beavers have to keep teething, like essentially biting things

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: and making their teeth smaller because if they don't, their

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: teeth will grow so large that they like puncture their skulls.

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: And why is no one talking about exactly? And why

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: is no one talking about that? Anyway? Time in the

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: episode Have Fun By My podcast starts now. Hello everyone,

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you're listening to Stradio lab. Um. It's a podcast by

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: me and George. Hey, George and me. It's me, you know,

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: and um, me against the music when when Britney goes,

75
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: it's me against the music and the Madonna goes and me.

76
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Have I already talked about this on the pod? George.

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to blow up your spot and make

78
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you feel insane, but yes, we have absolutely talked about

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: this on the pod. Sorry, that's actually one of the

80
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: top five things I talked about. Yeah, and you know

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: we have absolutely. I think you're so not entertained by this. Well,

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like we have already done it, and

83
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: so we've done it. I'm sorry, you're so right, and

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: so it's like like we just that we've done it,

85
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: and then it's like, how are we gonna Like, so

86
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: we're still going to do it? Then even though no

87
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: we're not, We're actually not still going to do it.

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: And I'm going to bleep out every time I mentioned that,

89
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I will come up with a different pop culture reference.

90
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: It'll be like when X files when they found the alien,

91
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and then it'll it'll all sound like we've never talked

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: about it before. That'll be perfect. I'll love that. Yeah, Um, George,

93
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: should we talk about your big new job announcements? Is

94
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: that crazy? That is insane for you to say, I

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: don't know you posted about today, So I was like,

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: maybe I gets to break the story well before we

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Before we talk about that, we should say that we

98
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: are still soliciting um questions for our upcoming Pride earnest

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Miss Bonanzas. If you have any serious questions for us

100
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: that you want us to discuss earnestly on the pod

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: with no guests, no offense to our guests, then please

102
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: send them to Stradio Lab at gmail dot com and

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: we will do our best to answer the ones that

104
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: are not inappropriate. Yeah, and you know, we will also

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: sometimes address the inappropriate ones. So if that's really deep

106
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: in your heart, feel free to send. You know, maybe

107
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: it'll give us something to mock on the which could be?

108
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: And how about I will vow to discuss my new

109
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: career pivot in the earnestness bananza. Okay, deflecting. I love that.

110
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: That was really tasteful. Actually, yeah, well that's a little

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: something they taught me in journalism school. Um yeah, so okay,

112
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna talk about me against music. We're

113
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: not gonna talk about your new job and that, you know,

114
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: we can talk about what I just got back from

115
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: my first trip outside the city in almost a year.

116
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: You haven't left the city at all in a year.

117
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: I haven't left the city since October, when I very

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: notably went to Julia Claire's birthday in Hudson, New York. WHOA,

119
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: where'd you go? This time? The Cats Skills in New York?

120
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: How was it? It was very nice? And we I

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: we stayed with a couple with two small children. One

122
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: is one years old and one is three years old.

123
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: And now I'm like, do I want kids? Oh my god,

124
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pivoting happening, uh recently for for you,

125
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: in my opinion, do you want kids? I mean, it

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: could be fun when I've achieved you know, all the

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: other things, and then I can say, you know what,

128
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: let's just let's just do one last gig. Let's raise

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: a child. Um, it doesn't. It doesn't speak to me immediately.

130
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I have a dog, and that's pretty difficult. Um,

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: it's actually really hard to plan trips and no one

132
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: talks about that, and so a kid is like a

133
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: dog that I guess the benefit is you can bring

134
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: on the plane more easily without like getting a fake certification.

135
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: But this is an incredible analysis of what it means

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: they have kids. I guess you can bring kids two

137
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: planes more easily. That's right, that's true. But they require

138
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: way more appointments. Dogs they have maybe an appointment twice

139
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: a year. Kids they have appointments almost every single day.

140
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be a lot to keep up with.

141
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question, Yeah, are you feeling okay?

142
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I okay, I'm feeling okay. You're

143
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: in a bad mood? I'm in a bad mood, and

144
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I'm trying to fake it and

145
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: trick myself into being in a good mood. My upstairs

146
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: name has been playing guitar really loud all day long,

147
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and it's been really pissing me off because I had

148
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: that what's putting it in a bad mood? Okay, well, honestly,

149
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: in the in in the like of the various things

150
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: that can put you in a bad mood, that's one

151
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: of the less that's one of the less dramatic ones.

152
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: It's really undramatic, and I can say something really stupid

153
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: and embarrassing. I literally get upset when it's Monday, like

154
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: like Garfield, like I get every Monday. I like get

155
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: really upset and like spiral a little because I'm like, well,

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: I have all this to do and if I don't

157
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: get it done today, then I'm not gonna get done

158
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: at all, and and and then I spiral. I So

159
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: this week, so I'm starting my new job, which I

160
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: legally can't talk about until the earnestness bonanza that's part

161
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: of my contract next Monday. And so this week is

162
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: like the week before starting a job. And you know,

163
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: in our industry. We rarely get time off. You know.

164
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Normally we have to rush to let's say, you know,

165
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: say one thing for a Pride advertisement and get paid

166
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: fifty dollars or something along those lines. So it's so

167
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: rare to get a week off. Of course I went

168
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: to the cat skills. Of course I decided I want

169
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: to become a parent. But now I have this week

170
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: to myself. And I thought to myself, I'm gonna for

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: the first time in my entire life that I have

172
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: dedicated to the art of comedy, I'm going to have

173
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: a self care week. And so I was even thinking,

174
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't do this, but I was even thinking

175
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: of doing the following absolutely depraved act, posting on close friends,

176
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Hey any rex for self care stuff to do in

177
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: your Oh my god. And I wanted people to tell

178
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: me where to get a massage, where to get you know,

179
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, not where to get a petty care. I'm

180
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: not an absolute war and I can figure that one out,

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: but like, where do you know what, like spa to

182
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: go to what you know what unexpected little thing um

183
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Condie Nast track Veler is recommending lately for the point

184
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: one percenter is living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn like it myself.

185
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: And as soon as I started conceptualizing those plans, things

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: kept coming up. And now I basically have like one

187
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: thing every day that is just big enough where I

188
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: can't ever but that I can't have a single self

189
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: care day. Do you know what I mean? I know

190
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: exactly what you mean. You know, I've been unemployed a

191
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: lot in this town, and there have been times where

192
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I say, you know what, I'm who cares? I'm going

193
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: out today? And then it'll be like, well, you have

194
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: one phone call at four pm, and it's like great,

195
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: So now I can't do a single thing and I'm

196
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: just gonna be miserable till four Yes, And that is

197
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: how I am. I'm not going to blow the cover

198
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: of the of the entity, of the corporate entity that

199
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: is making me do this. But for something I have

200
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: to do, I have to get tested. I would say

201
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: approximately COVID tests that approximately thirteen times in Grain Point Brooklyn,

202
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: which requires me to take a bus and a train

203
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: to get there. Wait for me to go. I am vaccinated,

204
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: and by regulations, I have to get COVID tested in

205
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: order for them to like whisper something in my ear

206
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I love this. This almost sounds like a conservative rent.

207
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Um do you do? And then in fact, today I

208
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: went and I was trying to bond with a COVID

209
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: tester and I said she said something along that She

210
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: was like, didn't I see you last Friday? And I

211
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: was like, yes, I literally have to get codes and

212
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: tested constantly for a full week in order to do

213
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: this one job where I'm getting paid X amount of dollars.

214
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: And she was like, yeah, it's like so crazy how

215
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: they're doing it like that. And I was like, yeah,

216
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's so ridiculous. We're all vaccinated. And then

217
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: she was like, well, not everyone's vaccinated. I mean you

218
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: don't have to be if you don't want to. And

219
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to go down this road. No, Well,

220
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: why can't they just get you a test by you? Like,

221
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: why can't you just go get your own test at

222
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: like the city m D and then send them the result.

223
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you're making the grave mistake of thinking logically

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: within the general vicinity of the entertainment, which was punishable

225
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: by death. That's true by to my family and loved ones. Um.

226
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: I know, you know randomly, I know which corporate entity

227
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Yeah, well, I just have to say

228
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: they have really done some corporate entity. A lot of

229
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: people don't want to talk about it, and you know what,

230
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: we won't either, But there is one corporate entity out

231
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: there that I think. I think it's a pyramid scheme.

232
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I think in fact, that what they're selling is COVID tests,

233
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: and they are they are making up jobs for underemployed

234
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Brooklyn comedians to do let's say, having one line in

235
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: a digital short or or on line in an Instagram post,

236
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: or even you know, sending one email. Suddenly they say, oh,

237
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: have you touched your computer before? You know? You have

238
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: to get tested. And I think what they're selling is

239
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: COVID tests rather than actually entertainment. Yeah, you know, I

240
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: have worked at this corporate entity in them. Let's not

241
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: get specific. I just I have to I just want

242
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: to say that there's a lot of corporate entities out there,

243
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are trying to do their

244
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: best to make things really complicate, aided and difficult. But

245
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: this is the only one running ahead of the others.

246
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: It is the most complicated corporate and well, you know,

247
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: there is there are a lot of industry Awards, and

248
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: of course one thing. There's one awards show that is

249
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: broadcast live on Roku originals called the Complicated Awards, and

250
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: the theme song is Complicated by Everlevie and and various

251
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: corporate entities get prizes for how complicated they make things

252
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: for underpaid performers. And this corporate entity, let's just say

253
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: has has has Really it's tense, tense tens across the

254
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: bar Mama. Every single year, RuPaul comes out, he gives

255
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: them a you know, he fracts a little award out

256
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: of his backyard and he gives it to them and says,

257
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: congratulations on one more year of making things as complicated

258
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: as humanly possible. Go off, and then a drag queen

259
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: comes out and does a little death drop. And then

260
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: the head of this corporate entity, who looks like the

261
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: monopoly man um but you know, with less of a

262
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: sense of humor, comes out and accepts the award. Oh

263
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: and of course you know who. He shouts out God,

264
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: God and and Sam Tagger sometimes yeah, actually I get

265
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: a shout out every once in a while God in

266
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Sam Tagger. But in order for you to get the shadowed,

267
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: you have to get COVID tested fourteen times in one day,

268
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: fourteen times, and you're not even invited to the ceremony.

269
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Just what if someone says your name and your summon? Wow? Yeah,

270
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, damn, we really attacked a corporate entity today.

271
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: But but you know this is all fiction, right, This

272
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: is everything we've said so far is made up in fake,

273
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: made up auto fiction. It's actually very radical auto fiction.

274
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: People are writing about it in the New York Review

275
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: of Books and they're saying Sam and George are pioneering

276
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: a new form of storytelling. You know, I have to say,

277
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: there was a point in this intro where you're right.

278
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I was being a little clunky. I

279
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: was a little down, I was a little confused, and

280
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, you really hooked me with this um taking

281
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: down of this psychotic corporate entity. So I have to

282
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: say telling you, the way to get you to perk

283
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: right up is to introduce an anti capitalist element. Oh

284
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: my god, you're very much like Alexandra Ocascio Cortez in

285
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: that way. Sometimes she gets the opposite and she's tired,

286
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: she's been out, maybe she went, maybe her upstairs neighbor

287
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: is playing the banjo, and she gets to the office

288
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and she says, hello, you know, Rashida and the rest

289
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: of the members of the squad. I can't make it

290
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: to lunch today. I have to eat at my desk.

291
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: And then Rashida says, okay, but what if we drag

292
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: a corporate entity? And then AOC says, okay, you always

293
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: know how to have lunch with you guys. She says, okay,

294
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: one sandwich. Okay, you can drag. If you drag one

295
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: corporate entity, I'll come out of my office and I'll

296
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: have one sandwich. And then you know what happens. They

297
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: get there, they get to gathering about these corporate entities

298
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: and they eat sandwich after sandwich, just saying one more, okay,

299
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: one more. That's actually how the Green New Deal was written.

300
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: AOC was in a terrible mood that day, and then

301
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,239
Speaker 1: you know, um, all of the alhan And and Rashida

302
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: and Ayana, all of them who you know, came in

303
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: and they they put on kind of clown makeup to

304
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: make her feel better, and each one of them was

305
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: dressed as a different corporate entity as a clown. It

306
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: was really actually radical satis question no, no questions, and honestly,

307
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: no follow up statements. I think we've followed this narrative

308
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: to its natural ending, and I think it painted a picture.

309
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: It was vivid, and I think a lot of people

310
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: are going to get a lot out of that. Thank

311
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: you for book ending it and preventing me from going further. Um. Well,

312
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you know sometimes in this podcast, um, it's me and

313
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: me before before you, before you, you retreat back into

314
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: your bad mood. I'm so aware that it might happen

315
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: at any moment. I think we should bring in our guests. Now,

316
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: these guests, we have a you know, we have a

317
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: rule in this podcast that we never mentioned anyone's credits

318
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: or respect them in any way. But what I will

319
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: say about these guests is that in some cultures they

320
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: were my bosses for two full seasons of a radio

321
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: show on a little British network called the BBC, and I,

322
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: throughout the pandemic, was on so many zooms with them

323
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: where I would perhaps be out of bed trying to

324
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: eat an avocado with my bare hands, saying sorry, I

325
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: haven't I didn't have time to do to do the

326
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: thing today, and then they would have to pretend they

327
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: were okay with that. What do you think about that?

328
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: I thought you were just doing an intro, was trying

329
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: to give you your space. Okay, yeah, okay, so please

330
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: welcome um Imano Hussaini and Jess Solomon. Hello, Hello, We

331
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: we are the corporate entity George was referencing before. I mean,

332
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say always say, you know, your

333
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: boss is not your friend, and I've had to really fight.

334
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: My instinct is to think of you both as my friends,

335
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: but I have to always check myself and I have

336
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: to say, no, they are a corporate entity. In fact,

337
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: many people think you're married. You actually just um file

338
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: as an LLC. Yeah, and and exclusively we're in the

339
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: business of COVID testing in Green Point. Yes, one of

340
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: your biggest clients is the BBC. Yes, absolutely, Yeah, they

341
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of COVID there and they keep us going. Yes, right,

342
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: well you kind of crunch the numbers. And as soon

343
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: as things started going better over there, you came here,

344
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: and then you went back there when things started going

345
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: worse here. I mean, many people could say you're the

346
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: real puppet masters behind this whole global pandemic. Yes, yeah,

347
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: there are people that say that, And you know, I'm

348
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: happy to come out on this podcast. And and finally,

349
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: reveal that Um, it wasn't about in um China. No,

350
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: it was a proud queer woman, yes, married to another

351
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: proud queer woman and together. Um that's the that's our agenda.

352
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: It's not about promoting lesbian marriage. It's definitely about trends

353
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: Atlantic COVID back and forth back. And I think this

354
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: is so important that to finally get out there just

355
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: so we can lay all these rumors to bed and

356
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: like just we can all agree on this narrative. And

357
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are going to

358
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: start a new leaf um starting now. And I think

359
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: it's good that during Pride we can celebrate that an

360
00:19:53,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: interracial lesbian queer couple created and spread the COVID virus

361
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: for profit. Don't forget for profit, right, I mean in

362
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: collaboration with the BBC. UM. So you know it's putting

363
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: money right back into the government. Yeah. And you know,

364
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: because the British have always been involved in everything like this,

365
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: so you know that's not the shocker. It's really it's

366
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: really our part that we played in it that um.

367
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's time to take some

368
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: heat off of um Asian people getting blamed for this.

369
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Oh so it's a really selfless actor powerful. Once we

370
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: saw that spinning out of control, we said we have

371
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: to we have to stop this and we have to

372
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: take responsibility and you know, people to stay relevant and

373
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: also to stay relevant because now that COVID is over

374
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: and everyone's getting vaccinated. Yeah, we're out of a job.

375
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: We need it. We're working on a new variant. Oh wow,

376
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's just at the very end of June.

377
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna the culmination of Pride. Um, we're going to

378
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: release the new variant. Oh my god, that's so amazing

379
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: in collaboration with Charlie Xen. I was gonna say it

380
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: was gonna be on the Chromatic A Remix album. It's

381
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: on the Chromatic A Remix tape. When you buy the

382
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Chromatic Remix album, you get a new strain of COVID. Yeah,

383
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: like like how you two did with their album in

384
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: the iTunes. But yeah, updated, that's right, that's right. It's interesting.

385
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: Well are you guys having an incredible Pride It's been

386
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: the best one ever. Um yeah, no, it's been. What

387
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: have we been doing. We've been socializing. We went to

388
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: a birthday party in the park yesterday and um, we

389
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Black trans Youth rally, but it

390
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: showed they somehow ended up. Isn't that nice when that happens?

391
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: You You have a birthday party that conflicts with a

392
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: rally that you thought you might go to, but then

393
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: the rally marches on to the park where you're already

394
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: hanging out. And I mean, I have said, you already

395
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: came in revealing that you created COVID, and now you're like,

396
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: as though that's not enough, you really want to create conversation.

397
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: You also say, and I refused to go to March's

398
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: interesting interest the Pelleton. I didn't need the steps anymore.

399
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: Get it. Yeah, I'm really sounding like a horrible person,

400
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: but this is it isn't all you know? Yeah, I

401
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: I do you know. I know, sincerely, Um, we did

402
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: create the COVID disease. But okay, I mean, I'm glad

403
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: we're getting back to the problem. Yeah. So congrats on

404
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: the job, George. I just want to say, I know

405
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that on this podcast, but I

406
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: want to tell you that I didn't know that the

407
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: job was real because you're never sincere and I didn't

408
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: see Sincere tweet alert. So I I thought, um, you

409
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: were joking, and I did most people, so most people

410
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: who saw my job announcement texted me and and first

411
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: asked whether it's real, which makes me feel really good about,

412
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, the you know, kind of the self that

413
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm putting out into the world that people think I'm

414
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: unable to in fact be employed or have a job

415
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: and be unable to be earnest about my own life.

416
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: But it's good. I'm surprised that people were thought it

417
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: was such a joke. I feel like whenever you talk

418
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: about yourself, it's usually true. Oh my god, this isn't

419
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to attack you. I'm just saying, I

420
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: believe what what am I saying? What's so wrong with

421
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? You know, now George is going to

422
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: be in a bad mood, not going to be in

423
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and I've tried so hard to bring the mood up.

424
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: I just got back from a big trip, so I'm

425
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: tired and um and I you know, I'm trying to hydrate.

426
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm very aware of the fact that I have not

427
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: showered since coming back from the cat Skills. I'm trying

428
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: to make a good impression on my former bosses, corporate

429
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: entity Jess Salmon and Immano HUSSAINI and here you are

430
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: trying to bring me down in every term. You're right,

431
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: You're right, and I just I'm sorry about that. And

432
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: that's so Justinemon. Obviously you are married and obviously are

433
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: both women. What's going on there? That's a hard hitting question, Uh, journalist,

434
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's true. I didn't know that that media

435
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: entity existed. Still, that's why part of what I thought

436
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: it might not be real. Right, they're re launching a

437
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: lot of people. Yeah, it's it's very complicated. We're not

438
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: talking about it. We are talking about talking about um emon,

439
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: do you want to take this question? What's going on

440
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: at this two women? Yes, in a marriage? What what's happening?

441
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: What happened? What is that? You know? It's uh, it's

442
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: started off with love turned into a business deal and

443
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: now I can't we can't leave each other because it's

444
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: a business. We're in a business. We're in a business,

445
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: so um and the businesses our is our kid, you know,

446
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't want to have to split things up.

447
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: So with the LLC and everything, and this is how

448
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: it all relates to us creating. Oh wow, okay, we're

449
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: still okay. When we first got together, yeah, we were

450
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: wishing for something like a pandemic. Yeah that's true, but

451
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: arrived ten years. That's how we that's what attracted us

452
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: to each other. As they said, you know, there hasn't

453
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: been a pandemic in many generations. Has canceled all plans.

454
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: How do you cancel everything? Yeah, well, because you know famously,

455
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: and I don't want a stereotype here, but you know, I,

456
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like the kind of stereotype is

457
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: gay men are constantly partying and doing poppers and whipping

458
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: their dicks out, and then gay women are let's say,

459
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: living in a cabin and raising kind of an army

460
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: of children to create textiles and so what you got.

461
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: So it makes sense that this pandemic will be queer

462
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: woman created. Because you want everyone to live a lesbian lifestyle.

463
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: We because, yeah, because we want We wanted not to

464
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: be We wanted everyone to live that and not to

465
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: not to feel held back by the stereot that we've

466
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: all wanted to cancel plans. Everybody gets excited about canceled plans,

467
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: but especially It's true at the beginning of a relationship,

468
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: we wanted it. This is when the idea because you

469
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: want to be together all the time, you guys. Yeah,

470
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: I think it's a general feeling that canceled plans is

471
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: something that everybody wants. Yes, so we we did it

472
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: for us, but also having you know, society's well being

473
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: in mind. Sure, Okay, Well, now I'm like, maybe the

474
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: pandemic was not that bad. I loved that at least

475
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: at the beginning. It. It's been a little out of control,

476
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: but I was gonna went a little too long. You know.

477
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just you try something, you put it out

478
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: there and it seems romantic, um, but it becomes very toxic.

479
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: It was globally quickly right a year. I feel like

480
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the first in the month was nice. Just a month, No,

481
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: I was happy with. I think twelve months you were Wow.

482
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I think my ideal pandemic length would have been maybe

483
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: a week sort of a week one week, no death,

484
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: one plans. And I want to say the deaths were

485
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: not our Well, that was not part of your creative vision.

486
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: And then the exacts added the man. This is classic

487
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: network notes. This is the corporate entity and I we

488
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: won't mention it, but it is the corporate entity. That

489
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: in fact took your idea, and because they sell COVID tests,

490
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: they made it something that it wasn't. You guys just

491
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: wanted to create a very um I would say, you know,

492
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: queer positive social movement where everyone can just stay at home. Yeah,

493
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: and just like Hay's well, you know, and just also

494
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: like Noman is very um. Bad shaming is very fat

495
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: embody shaping, bad shaming. And that was that not everybody.

496
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: And when you do it to yourself, you do it

497
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: by my things onto every well, yes, for their well being,

498
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: because I feel like whatever is good for me is

499
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: should be good for everybody else. Sure, I was going

500
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: to say it was. It was the idea behind it

501
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: was more to give space for people to reassess what

502
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: was important in the nature, to vibe nature. You know,

503
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: the ducks all I don't know, animals that one textinct

504
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden are bad. Well, you're environmentalists, right, exactly,

505
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: So reation for us and Mother Earth, Yes, mother mother

506
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Earth and all of the animals and my weight. You're

507
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: trying to create a Noah's Ark, Yes, the opposite. They're

508
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: getting off the boat. I'm kind of you know what

509
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean. Another king we're all getting off the proverbial

510
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: proverbial boat going home is if the boat is social life.

511
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: I see, Sam, what do you think? I think the

512
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: jessin Hmon are on a very direct path to trying

513
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: to get canceled. I think they are. They come on,

514
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: came on this podcast with a mission, and um, they

515
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: know exactly how to get there. Um. I think that

516
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: they're playing their cards right because people love an empowerment narrative.

517
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: People love someone coming back and and saying, you know,

518
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: I know I made mistakes, but I did it for

519
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: the right reasons. And they're gonna and they're saying, we're

520
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: not just the couple that the loving couple who created

521
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic. We're also comedians and we have other

522
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: stories to tell. We we do have so many stories,

523
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: um to tell and uh, and then it was just

524
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: important to get that one out first. UM. And yeah,

525
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: it's very timely. It starts there, but it doesn't end

526
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: there exactly well, and of course it begs for sort

527
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: of a Cruella style backstory, UM, film about sort of

528
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: what lads you guys to this moment, right which and

529
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: I've seen right now is a good exactly used to

530
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: be a villain, and now everybody sees the truth. It's right,

531
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the same thing with lesbians, and I think right well,

532
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: Carella in many ways is telling a I mean the

533
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: entire the film. Corella is a queer film about lesbian rites. Um.

534
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: And you guys, in your origin story for yourselves that

535
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: you are single handedly producing, writing, and starring in. You've

536
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: insist that on both having hair that's half white half black,

537
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: which seems a little on the nose for me. It

538
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: is a good color scheme for us. You know, the

539
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: white and the black for sure. You know, interfaith, interracial,

540
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: actually inter vaccine couple. Um of you not vaccinated nocine,

541
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: So you're an interracial inter faith couple. And interfaith vaccine

542
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: was also inter vaccine. Now a lot of people can't

543
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: say that exactly right, um, and and so you know

544
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: we do. We are a bit of a yin and

545
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: yang um white and black, light and dark. I was

546
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: going to say, no, you're now that's true. We're both not.

547
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm white. Anyone is Arab and uh, she can tan

548
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: and I cannot. That's fair. We can say that, right,

549
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: We're like the Middle Eastern situation of black and the cops. Yeah, okay, okay,

550
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: well we really brought that one home. Okay, guys, we're

551
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: still getting to start at the beginning. Yeah, it's like,

552
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: we want to be the guys that complain about getting canceled.

553
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: You want about getting canceled, equal opportunity, Okay, getting canceled,

554
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: like the white guys that complaining about getting canceled, Like

555
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: the white guys that never get canceled. Complain. As we've said,

556
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: you're an interracial, interfaith, inter vaccine lesbian couple. You both

557
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: want to be. I want to have, let's say, the

558
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: aura and the confidence of white men refusing to get canceled. Yes,

559
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: that's okay, but not only that. This brings us back

560
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: to sort of the why they started the COVID pandemic

561
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: to sell um swabs. They're also now coming onto this

562
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: podcast in order to candle themselves in order to get

563
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: an extremely profitable Patreon whoa. Now that COVID is dying down,

564
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: they need that new job. I have to say, I'm like,

565
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: usually Sam and I are the ones pushing an absurdist

566
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: narrative of the time less than our guests can't keep up.

567
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: I am like operating on five different levels right now,

568
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like very impressed with the world that you

569
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: two have created. But your but your positivity and about it, George,

570
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: is what is keeping us barely from getting canceled because

571
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: you keep reading that the best possible narrative into the

572
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: things that keep coming out of our mouth and telling

573
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: you we're awful, and you're just like, no, no, we're no,

574
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, no, we are we we are full of love.

575
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: And honestly, again, it was that all we wanted was

576
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: just at the beginning, to just have more time together,

577
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: no appointments, and to have quality time together. That's all.

578
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: And that's the want to come back to that. Yes,

579
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: you've hired a crisis PR agency and the best they

580
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: could come up with was all we wanted was to

581
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: spend more time together. When being interviewed about how you

582
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: created the pane there in my ear reminding me to

583
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: make okay, yes, okay, well don't don't don't tell anyone.

584
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Um No, this is a free wheeling conversation and we're

585
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: not all. This wasn't planned, you know, this wasn't all

586
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: coordinated by your crisis PR agency, who gave us all

587
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: very very specific talking points exactly, Um, should we do

588
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: our first segment? I think so wow, I completely forgot

589
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: that this podcast had segments on topics well, and I

590
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: think it's beautiful because sometimes when um, you know, when

591
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: the PR person stepping in, it's a great way to

592
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: sort of be like, you're right, you're right, PR person,

593
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: we can we can, we can leave it at that

594
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: and just leave it at the things you want us

595
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: to say, and right, yeah, well the PR person just

596
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: actually zoomed into our zoom and and mouth go on

597
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: to that you want. You can't see what we're doing

598
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: a little circle motion with our fingers to kind of

599
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: signify that we need to keep it moving. That's what

600
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing to us. So the first segment

601
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: is called straight Shooters, and in this segment, we test

602
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: your knowledge of straight culture by giving you a series

603
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: of incoherent, rapid fire questions or you have to simply

604
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: say one thing or another thing. Now, I know that

605
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: you have both listened to the podcast before, so I

606
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: am not even going to explain it any further, and

607
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna jump right in and say your first

608
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: rate shooter is being summoned for jury duty or summoning

Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty disappear, the illusionist. I was going to say,

Speaker 1: to four. I was going to say, murder to four slow.

615
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: Being a fashionista or being a fascist dictator fascist? Okay,

Speaker 1: that one, you guys love, Okay, The National anthem or

Speaker 1: Party Rock anthem, Party Rock National. A lake cabin decorated

618
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: with fishing imagery, a cabin in the woods decorated with

619
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: taxidermy deerheads, or a Brooklyn apartment decorated with really ugly

620
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: prince from local queer artists. Apartment, our apartment. No, no,

621
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: you have to go with the one one of the options.

622
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't make it. You can't make it

623
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: our house, our apartment, our apartment. It's such a leo. Okay,

624
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying lake house with the taxidermy, taxidermy, taxidermy, okay, Okay,

625
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: Being a stand, being a fan, or being a man

626
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: and providing for your family, been a man. That definitely

627
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: felt that had the energy of agreement with the words

628
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: of disagreement, which I really love. So I have to say,

629
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's jump into our segment. Really well, I

630
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: was just like, it's like normally we like kind of

631
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: rate their performance in the game, which you know, we

632
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: don't have to do because it's also empty, empty and meaningless.

633
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: But it Yeah, M well, I have to say, um,

634
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: as a study of sort of how you work as

635
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: a couple, I found it very interesting. I think it

636
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: could be therapeutic for many people to sort of do

637
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: this with their loved ones. Yeah. I think the way

638
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 1: you answered them, the questions, and in fact even the

639
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: process through which you answered them, was very very interesting

640
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: because you started out agreeing on everything that symbolizes at

641
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: the beginning no, no, not in this context. So you

642
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: started out agreeing on everything, which I think symbolizes like

643
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: the honeymoon phase of being in a couple. Then you

644
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: started disagreeing in a way that was jarring suddenly. I

645
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, you were not answering at the same times.

646
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: One person was saying one thing, one was saying the other.

647
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: It seemed like the communication was up and that's maybe

648
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: like the mid middle point of a relationship. And then

649
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: what I loved about the ending was that you both

650
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: we're saying separate things but enthusiastically speaking at the same time,

651
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: and it kind of gives that's what a marriage should be,

652
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: is like you can both exist with your contradictions, with

653
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: the differences you have between one another, but nevertheless you

654
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: are a unified front as a couple. So one of

655
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: you saying fan and one of you saying man, but

656
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: both smiling and being so excited to be saying any

657
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: word at all is honestly what most of us should

658
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: aspire to. That is the goal. And I found that

659
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: to be very beautiful as well. And some people give

660
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: up when they get to the point where they're when

661
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: they're not saying the correct answers. You know, you could

662
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: have employed on people, right, I mean, you know David

663
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: Copperfield for instance, that was a red flag for me.

664
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: One of you was all in for Dickens, one of

665
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: you was all in for the illusionists. Many couples would

666
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: have looked at one another and said, wow, it seems

667
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: like our values are different. But you guys pushed through,

668
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: pushed right through. I'm glad. I'm gonna always look at

669
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: our relationship through this positive lens good through your eyes. Um,

670
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't arc, it was a whole. It was a

671
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: whole arc of a relationship. I do love the happy

672
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: ending though m hm right, it's other and still be

673
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: excited about our different perceptions. Yeah, can I can? I

674
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: I have a question for Sam though. Okay, but it's

675
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: not about no. I just because I'm a little bit

676
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: step on this because I'm worried about your neighbor situation

677
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: and the music, and I'm wondering if you have like

678
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: a solution to it or is this something that you

679
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: just have to learn to live with. So he's been

680
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: here for like a couple of years now, and mostly

681
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: I just ignore it and it goes away in like

682
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: an hour or two, but today it was like five hours.

683
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: And last week for the first time, I went and

684
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: knocked on his door and was like, Hey, I have

685
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: to record something. Can you stop? And he was really apologetic,

686
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: and I was kind of like, maybe he'll be a

687
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: little more aware of himself starting now, but then that

688
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: was obviously not true, and he was he just goes off.

689
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: He like goes all the way off, and it's like

690
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: like I could go up and say something to him again.

691
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: He was like nice about it, but it's like I

692
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: don't want to have to like every time, Like it's

693
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: like a it's a Monday, Like why don't you slip

694
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: a note if you don't want to confront him? Yeah,

695
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: just be like the podcast starts now. It feels so

696
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: passive aggressive. I don't know how to do it without

697
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: like because I also I get it, like to be

698
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: loud sometimes like I'm screaming sometimes making stupid videos that

699
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: ten people watch, and so it's like, well why, Like

700
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I want like there to be

701
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: some understanding of like don't do it for five hours,

702
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: but I don't know how to do that without like

703
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: of slipping a note that says podcast starts now. Under

704
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: the door. I feel like that's a threat. There's like

705
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: blood on that note. But so yeah, I don't really

706
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: have a solution. It's bad. And there was a point.

707
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: I hate that I'm talking about this so much. Sorry,

708
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: this is boring. There was I actually want to ask

709
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: you about his personality. How was it when you met him?

710
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: You said that he was very he was very sweet,

711
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: very apologetic, but he seems like a crazy person. Like

712
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: when I say, he's playing guitar. He's not like playing

713
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: like a song. He's playing like the same note over

714
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and over for a straight up hour and just being

715
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: like and not tuning. The tuning is not changing, like

716
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: literally just like the same. He's like very like experimenting

717
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: with something like some feature or something. But it's like,

718
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: just use your headphones for that. Like this is clearly

719
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: only for one person and it's you, so stop making

720
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: the whole building here, you It's insane to me. His

721
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: lights are like fluorescence, like when we look in his

722
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: window at night, it's like just that like evil fluorescent

723
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: white light. And it's like, how do you live like this?

724
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: It really looks like both your apartments. I know this

725
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: is not a it's a podcast and stuff, but don't

726
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: they look like they live in this similar, similar background

727
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: and that George is the upstairs neighbor we're just talking about. True,

728
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: I can't see George. I do see the background similarity,

729
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: But I mean, now that will be a twist if

730
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: this entire time I was not aware of the fact

731
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: that noises I'm making. First of all, that I was

732
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: not I didn't know where Sam lived, and was not

733
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: aware of the fact that I live above him. Now,

734
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: that would be truly incredible. And second, if I had

735
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: no idea that Sam was the one placing passive aggressive

736
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, doing passive aggressive things to get me to

737
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: stop playing my my Greek folk music with fluorescent lighting.

738
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: Greek folk music with fluorescent right and flight, that's yeah,

739
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, honestly, that is what you know. Like,

740
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, let's say, the the back room of a

741
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: Greek church after after service looks like it's fluorescent lighting

742
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: and stale doughnuts. Sure, sure, and someone being kind of homophobic.

743
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: I party did so many Greek church basements I can't

744
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: even begin to tell you. And yeah, I told you

745
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: all my friends were a great Oh that's right, that's right.

746
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: Of course you're an ally nights all of the yeah,

747
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: I've been. Well those are the outdoor outdoor of the

748
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: church celebrations. Oh means like the Virgin Mary? All right?

749
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Who we stam? Oh I did that? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

750
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm familiar. Okay, wait now, actually I think we should

751
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: do our topic. Yeah, well, okay, here's a question to

752
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: kick off our topic. So we um, we had various options,

753
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: and I think we're all leaning towards the topic. Of

754
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: French manicures. My question, in order to tie what we

755
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: were just talking about into what into the topic is

756
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: do you think the Virgin Mary is the type of

757
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: girl who would get a French manicure? Are we talking

758
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: about the real Virgin Mary? Are we talking about an

759
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: American version? Wait? What's the real one versus the American one? Yeah?

760
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Well, because you know, the European

761
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: one would be wouldn't get a French manicure, but if

762
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: like an American American version one would? Do you think

763
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: the real Virgin Mary is European Middle Eastern European. Yeah, okay, interesting,

764
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I mean. I I don't think

765
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: the one that I have in mind, which is the

766
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: one I think that you both have in mind, which

767
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: is just the original, the o G Virgin Mary. I

768
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: don't see her with a French manicure at all. I

769
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: don't see anybody suburbs, really, American suburbs were the French manicure. Okay, okay,

770
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: exclusive two suburbs. Okay, And you don't that's the Virgin

771
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 1: Mary isn't a suburban figure goo, she would not um

772
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: go with the French manicure. No, okay, well we all

773
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: agree on that. So you you two brought in French manicure.

774
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: Do you guys see how hard it is to communicate? Well,

775
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: I just love that Iman, who is Middle Eastern says

776
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: the original Virgin Mary, Yeah, right, is European. We were

777
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: recently talking about how Palestinian Christians are Orthodox, like Orthodox,

778
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: that's right, So you would think we would be able

779
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: to find common ground there. But no, in fact, in

780
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: your mind, the Virgin Mary is kind of a Swedish

781
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: member of APPO Swedish. No, well, I think that's what

782
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: it is, because Palestinians are Greek Orthodox, and I feel

783
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: like they're the o g s of Christianity. That's why

784
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: I would say the Virgin Mary is European. Got it? Okay?

785
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: But Middle Eastern European, you know, I feel like the Mediterranean, Mediterranean, Mediterranean.

786
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: That's what I should have said. Look at that it. Oh,

787
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: we got it, we did it. We vacation and she

788
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: has a hand going she's vacation. She does She's not

789
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: getting a French manager. She's above that. That's right. Okay.

790
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: So who okay, so walk me through the walk me

791
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: through why you chose French manicure. Walk me through what

792
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: you think is straight about it. I want to know.

793
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: I want to know the thought process. So you came

794
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: up with the French manicure as a topic because I

795
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: know before I even looked it up, I knew there's

796
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: no way there's anything French about it. I've also represented

797
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: who I was when I was straight and grew up

798
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: in the suburbs. This was a regular I've never very

799
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: embarrass you with a French very embarrassed about this, I

800
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: can't even imagine. And it's not only French manicure that

801
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: fake nails. So press on French manicure, straight and tear.

802
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you grew up in the suburbs.

803
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: It's they make you not like your natural curly hair.

804
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's very homogeneous, heteronormative. Yes, yes, um,

805
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: and and it was it was this is who I was.

806
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: It was it was straight hair, straight and blow dried hair,

807
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: press on French manicures and fake tanning. I love that

808
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: you were one of the girls doing the straight I

809
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: mean it was always a big event when one of

810
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: the curly girls would come into school and have straightened hair.

811
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: So you were that girl. That's right. So me and

812
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: my my, my Greek girlfriends, we all had curly hair,

813
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, we straight in our hair. I mean some

814
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: of them had straight hair. But yeah, the whole thing.

815
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: You go waxing, you go fake tanning, you get the

816
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: press on nails, you straight in your hair, and it's

817
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: just and it was never a nice than it was rocking.

818
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: Look where was this in the suburbs in Montreal where

819
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: I grew up? Okay, so yeah, so the suburbs are

820
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: a bit behind anyway, So I knew that there's no

821
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: way the French manicure west French, and uh, it really

822
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: represents straight culture because it's it's very like the only

823
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: times I think of, um, French manicures is my my

824
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: straight past in the suburbs, or poor like lesbian porn

825
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 1: by straight women. Yeah, French manicures. Right, Well, I don't

826
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: think a real lesbian would ever get a French manicure exactly.

827
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: And the Virgin Mary also a lesbian, no, but I yeah,

828
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: we figured out her ethnic identity. We're moving on to her.

829
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: I think she doesn't want to like putabel to put

830
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: labels on things, you know what. I think she's one

831
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: of these girls who is bisexual but is in a

832
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: relationship with Joseph, a man. But then on Pride posts,

833
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: just because I'm in a relationship with a man doesn't

834
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: mean I'm not queer exactly. She hates gatekeeping like that. Yeah,

835
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: my Virgin Mary hate skatekeeping. Yeah, okay, she's Mediterranean and

836
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: she hates skatekeeping. She's queer on Pride especially right especially,

837
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: that's when it really comes out. Jose was the queer part. Oh,

838
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: you think the relationship, Yeah, I mean, he didn't impregnate her.

839
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: Such a good support system raising Jesus, you know, he's

840
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: like the greatest Gates. I mean, they do have kind

841
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: of a Will and Grace thing going where Grace gets

842
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: pregnant and but the father is absent, especially in the

843
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: beginning of that series, and then and then Will helps

844
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: raise the baby. Who's Karen in the Bible universe? Karen's

845
00:49:51,840 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: Karen is Krola who's in the Bible? Yes, okay, you

846
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: know you could see how like the Bible and Walt

847
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: Disney would overlap. Yeah, I do think that Walt Disney

848
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: is looking into purchasing the Bible and putting it on Disney. Plus,

849
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean that would be the deal. What what do

850
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: they have in Florida? They have all Disney World and

851
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: the Jesus World or Jesus Land. I'm sure there's going

852
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: to Mary. I think it's it's Bible amusement park somewhere

853
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: in America. Yeah, there's got to be. I want to

854
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: go back to. Yes, my perception of French manicures is

855
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: I guess you're also. I think it is suburban. I

856
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: remember like people talking about them and potentially my mom

857
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: having one at some point, but I don't really remember now,

858
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: and I can't tell if I made it up, but

859
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: I think because the word French was in it, I

860
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: was always like, this must be something very expensive and

861
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: very nice. That's what they do in the suburbs, is

862
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: that they add the word French to make it sound fancy.

863
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: But that's all. But that's what to me is like

864
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: straight culture about it. It's you know, it's like feeling like,

865
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: you know, oh, you know, this is this is a

866
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: this is a French thing, but no idea that whether

867
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: it is or not, and just kind of like slapping

868
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: that label onto because that sounds like fancy or you know,

869
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of just like I don't know, like

870
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: trying to make something something that it's not. Think that

871
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: Hoggin DAWs is an American company and they just they

872
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: just made it. Yeah, they just wrote it like that. Yeah,

873
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 1: or like Este Lauder is American. Yeah, now that's genius.

874
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: It's yeah, And I think to me that's like that.

875
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: But to me, that straight culture, I think is that um,

876
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, because it's not. Could you even imagine

877
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: a French I can't even imagine a French manicured hand

878
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: holding a baguette, Like it's just it's so preposterous to me,

879
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: have to be like bread, right. Imagine you're watching the

880
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: French film Amalie and suddenly she her hand terms the

881
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: screen and she has a French manicure. They're not believable.

882
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean just thinking about a French person arriving in

883
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: America going for a manicure, seeing French manicure on the

884
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: list and being like okay, you know, like you know,

885
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: and then they do that to them. I mean, could

886
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: you imagine I feel sick thinking about how that French

887
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: person would be would react because there didn't hold back

888
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: when something is ugly, you know, or like TACKI I

889
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: had I had a French a hairdresser. Well, you know

890
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: he gave he gave me banks to which I don't

891
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: have right now. But but when he didn't say to

892
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: you what he said to me. He gave me bangs

893
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: years ago because he told me I was showing too

894
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: much face. I think he wanted you to hide your

895
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: foreheaded erection. He did because I would get he's very sexy. Wait,

896
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: your forehead erection. I had like a vein that like

897
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: pops out on my forehead when I get excited and

898
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: worked up. Yeah, so I guess you both insulted you

899
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: and was looking out for you. Now you know what

900
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: he did insult me? What did he say? Well, no,

901
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: when he gave me the haircut, first of all, it

902
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: felt like a lap dance. He's very sexual, and I

903
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: should say, I know we've said this was in Montreal,

904
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: but he's not even French from Montreal. He's from parents. Yeah, yeah,

905
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: oh okay, yeah, yeah, so it's but he did tell

906
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: me that to be to be thirty five and older,

907
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: if you really want to enjoy your body, you should

908
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,959
Speaker 1: be in top shape. And you think he was sending

909
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: you a message, Yes he was to disk. Yeah, I

910
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: don't hear that he was right something. So he was

911
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: currently sitting on your lap, sitting on your lap, giving

912
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: you bangs and body shaming you something you famously like. Obviously,

913
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: she can't wait to go back as soon as Canada

914
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: opens the borders. The best hairdresser I've ever had. Do

915
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: you do you travel back just to get him? Well,

916
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: whenever we bought it, right before we well we traveled back.

917
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: Well when we were we went, we left New York.

918
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: We're so shaped, but we left New York at the

919
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: height of COVID and when you handed a perfourmanths priorities. Um, yeah, no,

920
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: we when we do go back home, which we haven't

921
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: in a long time now, but we'd go see him anyway, Okay,

922
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: but he would never give you a French manicure. No,

923
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: he you know what, we should bring it up with him.

924
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he'll be horrified. I just yeah. So,

925
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, people here, I discovered there's

926
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: something called Canadian bacon, okay, and that's I didn't know

927
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: what that was. We don't have that. There's no such bon.

928
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: Were a Muslim and in Canada, No, no no, no, literally,

929
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: there thing in Canada that's Canadian bacon. But like, you know,

930
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: but whatever, that's not as like we're not going to

931
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: get offended about that. Well we should a little bit

932
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: because it looks like a hockey puck. Do you think

933
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 1: that's why they that's why it's offensive to you. Yeah,

934
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: like just because it looks like because it's a piece

935
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: of ham, Right. The fun thing about bacon is the

936
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: strip part. But there's strips. It's your people here will call,

937
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: you can call, you know, you can call things like

938
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: as if they come from another country and they don't

939
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: see this is a larger conversation. It's like slapping an adjective,

940
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: like an ethnic adjective on something and suddenly you're exoticizing

941
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: literally ham cold cuts. Yeah, except doesn't exoticize it. When

942
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: you say Canadian, I don't know. I mean Canadian Canadian doubles.

943
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: Someone told me about, like you play Canadian doubles and

944
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

945
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. It's tennis. It's like

946
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: two people two on one tennis instead of doubles. But

947
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: it's actually Australia. Some people call it Australian doubles. Isn't

948
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 1: it just tennis? Doubles. No, it's too against one auto

949
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: against one who plays like that. It's the same. It's

950
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: the thing that I didn't know what it was because

951
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: we don't have that in Canada. I swear people call

952
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: it that. I can see how it's Australian. Well, sometimes

953
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: you want to make that they say, they're like, I'm

954
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: under you know, they're weird upside down their winter summer.

955
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: I mean in this case, like I feel like maybe

956
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: there was like some Canadian or Australia or someone that

957
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: was like, just you know something, I would tell people

958
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: anything about Canada here. Sometimes I'll make things up and

959
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: then maybe just spread and it was just something you

960
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: do positive stereotypes. I mean, like that we got a

961
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: tax credit for getting married for being Jewish and Muslim. Yeah,

962
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, well or do you lie about getting a

963
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: tax credit that? Because I mean sometimes I just because

964
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, people, Canada got so popular for a time

965
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: during Trump that I felt like they could make anything

966
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: else because people were always saying, oh, I wish I

967
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: could move to Canada when Trump was in office. Meanwhile,

968
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: you're a Jewish, Muslim lesbian couple decided to move to

969
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: the United States right when Trump got elected. Yeah, and um,

970
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: and and then some guys are fun I would make

971
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: things up, um, and people would would I thought we

972
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: thought Hillary was going to win a lot of people.

973
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: Did you know something unique about us is that we

974
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: thought Hillary Clinton would be Trump? And yeah, I mean

975
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: it's really part of our personality that you know, Yeah,

976
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: you guys, everyone else knew, but you guys were behind

977
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: on that one. Yeah, exactly, the polls, all the pundits.

978
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: But okay, I can do you think Mary would get

979
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: a French manicure? I don't. Would she get a manicure? Yes, definitely,

980
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: definitely color I can't sure. I think no, it was chips.

981
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: She works so hard. Okay, is there a way, you know,

982
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: in the same way that like, I feel like gay

983
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: men often take things that straight men do all the

984
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: time and try to take them back and make them

985
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: hot and sexy. Is there a way? Is there a

986
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: world in which the French manicure becomes like the next

987
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: lesbian trend that's like super hot, genius genius, like ironic

988
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: French manicures. There are ironic French manicures that French people

989
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: could possibly have, possibly, but where like one that lesbians

990
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: take back, I think it would be instead of like

991
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: the making the white part, like the whole thing with

992
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: the French manicure, right is just it's almost like a

993
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: teeth white name thing. But like on your nail right,

994
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: um where you take you just put white polished on

995
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: the white part of the nail. Um and maybe if

996
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: you did it like but with a bit of dirt underneath,

997
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, to simulate that you've been out building a cabin. Okay, okay. Interesting,

998
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: So it's like just I mean, I don't know, I'm

999
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: not I'm not married to that idea. I think I'm

1000
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: just I'm just not stereotype. Not stereotype. Just take it back,

1001
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: how to take it back and make it? But I

1002
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: feel like the cool thing that lesbians are doing is

1003
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: chip nail polish. But maybe that goes because they work

1004
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot with their hand. Is that something lesbians are

1005
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: doing chipnail polished? Yeah? I feel like one thing we

1006
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: should say is that we're not very um connected to

1007
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: the lesbian community or have any fluency in queer language.

1008
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: Iman is like basically, you know, she's a she's an immigrant.

1009
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: She's like kind of one generation behind a lot of Yeah.

1010
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: So so this is why sometimes we um. She body shames,

1011
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: you know sometimes just I just want to give this

1012
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: his background is that, you know, people might expect that

1013
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: we would be like no more we do. Um, we

1014
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: both have been. We were both straight until quite old

1015
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: or you know older. Uh, we're not ages to work. No. Um.

1016
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: You know Ima, Ima has never been with a woman

1017
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: besides me and I and I had not been dragging.

1018
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: She had the French manicure before me. Look at that

1019
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: French manicure. And you're iman to confirm. You are making

1020
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: an argument that being an immigrant and living in the

1021
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: suburbs make you two generations behind. Yes, so like my parents,

1022
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: for instance, Like I am. This is how I explain

1023
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: it to my friends. Uh, I am like their parents

1024
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: generation okay, and my parents in terms of cultural fluency wokeness.

1025
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: So you can't be held basically you're a You're the

1026
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: equivalent of a white boomer. Yes, yes, exactly. We should

1027
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: have said that from the beginning, but when we started talking, no,

1028
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's exactly who I am. I'm a bit behind.

1029
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: I try to be you know, progressive and today you're

1030
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: open to learning, you're not those to it. I'm not like,

1031
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: oh you know, I'm gonna you know, I'm not gonna

1032
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: update my material and my knowledge, and people are sensitive,

1033
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Like if I say something that's backwards and behind, I'm

1034
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: happy to apologize. Yeah, but but the truth is that

1035
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: we do have to apologize and update, you know, whereas

1036
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: some people are already there, they've been like that there. Yeah,

1037
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: like my parents, forget it, they're like fifty years behind.

1038
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: My mother's hairdresser is straight in the suburbs. It's pretty

1039
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad. There's so many, um, so many things

1040
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: that I'm learning about you too. Um like that maybe

1041
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: you guys have a better idea of how lesbians could

1042
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: take back the French manicure, because I do think that

1043
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: the French pedicure. Um, I don't know if you have

1044
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: ever seen one of those, is that the same design

1045
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: just on the toes? Okay? Yeah, and that was taking

1046
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: that design and putting it on okay, just slapping it

1047
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: on the toes. Yeah, And um, that to me could

1048
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: be queer because it's kind of so insane, like it's

1049
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of a joke, that's funny, it's camp and it's

1050
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: also kind of a little bit it's for your feet,

1051
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit just for you in that way.

1052
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: You know it's not as out there. Um yeah, yeah,

1053
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't question dollars seen or is it something

1054
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: new that is a joke that you just made, Like

1055
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: did you people do that? I've seen it, French manicares

1056
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: headres Yeah, I've seen it. Well, I was going to say,

1057
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you have joy you had you had a French guys

1058
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: with your frenchman. Excuse me, who are you? Excuse me?

1059
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know you. Let me tell you about

1060
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the topic that I brought to this podcast. Well, you're

1061
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: actually you're being xenophobic by shaming him on for living

1062
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: in the suburb. But you you're not gonna This is

1063
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: why I wanted to cut you off jas talking out.

1064
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, you do it kind of like a joke

1065
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: and to yourself. You're not going to pay fifteen extra

1066
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: dollars for French pedicure for a joke. I mean it's

1067
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: more expensive. Well oh yeah, it's more expensive, but the

1068
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: French before it's so French, you know that it's more expensive.

1069
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: That's how Yeah, well, yeah, it's more expensive because you

1070
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: have to just like isolate like part of the nail

1071
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: and paint the white part. So it's not just like

1072
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: a one motion um paint job. Got it? Well, I

1073
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: think you know, there's an assumption there that people won't

1074
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: pay a certain amount for a joke. That is false,

1075
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: because I would pay more than fifteen dollars for a

1076
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: good joke, and I have paid a lot more money

1077
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: than that to be a comedian. I mean the amount

1078
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: of money we pay to put it this podcast out

1079
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: every month. I mean we could be getting French manicures

1080
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: and pedicures daily. I wonder if they're even legal in

1081
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: New York. Honestly, have you guys seen them? Well, maybe

1082
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 1: not in brook Lend, but I bet you I could

1083
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: find certain pockets of of you know, uptown where French

1084
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: manicures are thriving. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna get a

1085
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: French petticure and manicure and go to like a Brooklyn

1086
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: park party. Yeah. Well. Otherwise, well, this is the thing

1087
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: you have to the rest of your outfit has to

1088
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: be like very trend very cool, very fashion forward, and

1089
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: so then that is that will then cause people to

1090
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: think to know that your French manny petty is ironic. Yeah,

1091
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: exactly right. I mean I also want to say that

1092
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: for like when men straight men paint their nails. I

1093
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: think it's like half irolly and half like go off queen,

1094
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: but you know they really want to sell it. Roll

1095
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: up with a little French manicure and no one can

1096
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: tell you anything, Mr straight man. That is weird as hell,

1097
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: and you drink. I think Harry Style is rocking a

1098
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: French pedicure, and then we can talk about whether or

1099
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: not he is, you know, smashing the gender bind Well,

1100
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: you got a big reaction from the dog on that one.

1101
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Go off puppy. Esther is like Esther has been listening

1102
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: to all the various these tangents we've been Harry Style

1103
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a French pedic girl. She was like enough, I know,

1104
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: I know, we got to get her back. Okay, good, good,

1105
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: good girl, Quiet, good girl. Quiet George. How are you feeling?

1106
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Do you feel as though we've gotten to the bottom

1107
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,479
Speaker 1: of it? I mean, I really do think I it's

1108
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: and at first I'm not gonna lie. I was like,

1109
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I thought French manicures are such a genius topic. But

1110
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the other option, which was marriage, I was like, oh

1111
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: there was more there. You know, It's like so funny

1112
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: that we're we're going to be interviewed. We're gonna be

1113
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: talking to a married lesbian couple about marriages, a straight topic.

1114
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Like I thought that was is going to be a

1115
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: slam dunk. But now that we've done French manicures, I'm like,

1116
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: this is a perfect straight laptop. It's perfect and it's Um.

1117
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: I would say, I think it's a little outside of

1118
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: our general realm. I think most of our guests and

1119
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: even us come with dare I say straight male topics often,

1120
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: and I think it's brave to unpack straight female culture

1121
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, well as gay men. It's actually good

1122
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: if we fully straight women, it's good and it's progressive

1123
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: and it's changing the world. Yeah, I thought it was

1124
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: a brilliant idea just seemed to be into it so well.

1125
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: There was there was a whole other list um that

1126
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: we didn't that we didn't send you guys that Iman

1127
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: texted me spair Tire tires. I was on board with

1128
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: spare Tire too, that in many ways the spare tire

1129
01:06:55,560 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: is the French manicure for men. Uh. But yeah, I'm

1130
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm shuld we do our final second. Let's do it

1131
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: all right, um, So our final segment is called shout out,

1132
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: so we give a shout out to anything that we enjoy.

1133
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Um um, sort of in the style of it's to

1134
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: us in one you're in Times Square for tr L

1135
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: shouting out to your squad back home, um, or in

1136
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: the suburbs, or even or listening to a radio show

1137
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: in the Canadian suburbs outside Montreal. Um, George, I'd like

1138
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 1: to give a shout out. You know we got there,

1139
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: Um George. Do you have one? Um? Do I have one?

1140
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: You know what? Yes? Go off please, I'd like to

1141
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: give a first of all, hello, and second of all,

1142
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: how's it going? And third of all, I want to

1143
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out to games that are foodsball adjacent.

1144
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking air hockey. I'm talking about that one game

1145
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: where you put sand on the thing so that the

1146
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: parts slide, Yeah, slide more. I'm talking about, in fact,

1147
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: actual foodsball. I think more bar should have games like that,

1148
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: and more homes in fact should have games like that

1149
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: because it gives you a reason to interact with people

1150
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: if you feel awkward at a party. So it's what

1151
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: a better solution to feeling awkward than asking someone what

1152
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: they do, and it doesn't create the trauma that let's say,

1153
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: physical sports does. I don't want to play tennis with you.

1154
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I want to play air hockey with you. It does

1155
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: not immediately, you know, create a tension between us, who's

1156
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: more capable physically, who is more straight, who is more gay?

1157
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: It is simply a game you can play with your girlfriends,

1158
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: boyfriends and non binary friends and just have fun. As

1159
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: New York opens back up, So if you are with me,

1160
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: come joined and also play. And that's all I want

1161
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:53,759
Speaker 1: to say. And so get a shout out to that, um, George.

1162
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: That was incredible and I think really did bring up

1163
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good points because having a game to

1164
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: play is so essential sometimes and it but it also

1165
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: it's so tough because everyone we know is a psychopath

1166
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 1: and so competitive, and this takes that out of it. Beautiful. Okay,

1167
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I'll go in mind's um, extremely predictable. Um, someone has

1168
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: to do it. What's up idiots and losers out there?

1169
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: That's why, right I'm taking one for the team and

1170
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: doing the predictable shout out just because it needs to

1171
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: be recorded on this podcast. I would like to give

1172
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:28,759
Speaker 1: a shout out to the new Lord era. Hello Lord,

Speaker 1: couple deciding to stay at a hotel separately. Where to go?

1206
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know where to go, honestly, And I pan next,

1207
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: and that's that's all I could remember that we talked

1208
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 1: about before. I just was going to shout out the

1209
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: hotel down the street that I'm not super culture. I

1210
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: just figured because now, but then you said shout out

1211
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: to queer culture. I think, Okay, you've got a whole

1212
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: other thing going. Let's go with that. Yeah, not queer

1213
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: pop culture. I just meant the whole like queer stuff,

1214
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: like the movement you know the beautiful, the beautiful thing

1215
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 1: it creates. Uh, you know, queer culture in pop culture

1216
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: as in communication, good communication, as in same sex. I

1217
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: think people really got communication from us. There was one

1218
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: thing that came across. It's now and this is why

1219
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: marriage was almost our topic as a straight culture. It's

1220
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: just a perception different, right. But I was going to

1221
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: say that the reason that one of the reasons we

1222
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: were going to say marriage as straight culture an example

1223
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: of straight culture is because we're obviously two straits in

1224
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 1: a lesbian marriage. I think that that's I don't know

1225
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing two proud queer women. Are you okay?

1226
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: That are just missing the fluency. I'm just expressed to

1227
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: express it. I see talked about this. You are sexually

1228
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: and romantically queer, culturally not so much exactly right. Well,

1229
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Sam always says I'm culturally gay and he's sexually gay.

1230
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: I'm sexually straight because you know, I'm not constantly munching

1231
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:37,679
Speaker 1: on Dick's left and right. Well, and he's talking about

1232
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: having children and it's great, which I still think I

1233
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: can do biologically. I would I would love to like

1234
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: if I think you would be a great dad, George,

1235
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like, yeah, like in another world, I

1236
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: would be so happy that. I feel like you would

1237
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: if I was your kid. I would imagine we'd go

1238
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: to the museum all the time and um do a

1239
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: lot of creative stuff around town. Culturally gay but sexually straight.

1240
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: And that's that's what you wanted to dad. Yeah, I

1241
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: guess that is what you wanted to sexually straight. You

1242
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: don't want your dad to be too sexually gay, the

1243
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 1: right wing talking point, that's unfortunately. Okay, well you know

1244
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: maybe they made some points. Points were made, points were made.

1245
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: Go on, Well, um no, I mean this has been incredible. Um,

1246
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I know you guys even less than

1247
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: before we started, and I think that is a true feat.

1248
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: I am. I could not be happier. I mean, I

1249
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 1: wanted to have you guys on for so long. And Sam,

1250
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: of course you know, hates women. But I am so

1251
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: glad that I finally got him to capitulate. And I mean,

1252
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: to me, this is a top tier episode here experience. Now,

1253
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: if we figure out how to edit two microphones, you know,

1254
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: maybe it will even be released and time will tell. Okay,

1255
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: very exciting. Thank you, guys, Thank you for having
