The Quickness Celebrate Pride

[00:00:00] Speaker A: She said, I don't want to wear no thong, girl. Put on the tong, girl. Why are you fighting me about the thong? [00:00:09] Speaker B: I heard that thong, Jerry. Comfortable? I'm wearing one right now. [00:00:14] Speaker C: I'm wearing a thong right now. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Why are you making a big deal about the tong? Why are you making such a big deal about the thong? It's a tongue, girl. [00:00:30] Speaker C: It's just a tongue. [00:00:31] Speaker A: It doesn't have to be a big, big deal. [00:00:35] Speaker B: A tiny bit of cloth, but you're making it a big deal. [00:00:39] Speaker A: You're making it such a big, big deal now. Why do you make it such a big deal? It's just a tongue. [00:00:51] Speaker D: It's so silly. [00:01:04] Speaker A: Oh, it's just a thong, girl. [00:01:09] Speaker B: Oh, oh. It's just a thong, girl. It's just a thong, girl. Not a real big deal. Tiny piece of cloth, not a real big deal. [00:01:19] Speaker A: Let me sing you my tongue. Let me sing you, sing you my tongue. Let me sing you my tongue. [00:01:25] Speaker B: Let me, let me sing you my tongue. [00:01:26] Speaker A: It's just a tongue, girl. I bought it for you at the H and M next door to wear it when we go out on the dance floor. [00:01:36] Speaker B: It's just a tongue, girl. I want to see you from your jeans like it's a year 2003. Let me see your tongue, girl. [00:01:46] Speaker A: Let me see your tongue, girl. Why won't you put on it? [00:01:50] Speaker B: I bought this just for you. It cost me 2020. [00:01:54] Speaker A: I mean, if you don't want to wear the thong, I mean, if you really don't want to wear the thong, then maybe, just maybe, I should wear it. [00:02:03] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I know you can't stand me. So instead of wearing tongs, why don't you try some granny panties? [00:02:12] Speaker A: You can wear the granny panties and I will wear the thong. I didn't buy the tongue just for me to wear it. That would be so wrong. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Matching tongs, girl. We should wear them to the beach. A matching tongs, girl. Let's wear them in the sheets. I don't want to have no sex with you. I just want to be real close to you wearing this tongue, girl. There's couple of guys wearing tongs. [00:02:40] Speaker A: We're just a couple guys. We're just a couple guys who are wearing tongs to the beach. [00:02:47] Speaker B: Couple of tongue guys couple of tongues, couple of tong guys. [00:02:54] Speaker A: If it's wrong, I don't want to be right. Couple of tong, couple of guys. If it is wrong, I don't want to be right. Singing this song by the end of the night if it is tongue, I don't want to be right. [00:03:05] Speaker B: You can see both my coconuts when I'm wearing my thong. [00:03:09] Speaker A: You can see my big banana when I'm wearing the tong. [00:03:14] Speaker B: Come and take a drink. Take a drink from my coco nut. Come and take a drink. Come a drink from a coconut. [00:03:18] Speaker A: Pina colada, banana, coconut. Yeah, you know what it's about and you want a nut. [00:03:23] Speaker B: Oh, it's a lata. Come and take a sip of my ram cha ta. Now I come alot Carmel ode for my coconut girl. Come and wear this thong, girl. I haven't worn it long, girl. Hand me down thong girl. Go ahead and throw it.

[00:03:49] Speaker B: Do you have a little makeup? I need a little eyeshadow. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Do you have a little wig of you that I can borrow? I want a single white female you. [00:04:00] Speaker B: I want to become you. [00:04:05] Speaker E: Welcome to the pod. [00:04:06] Speaker D: Hey, what's up, everybody? [00:04:08] Speaker A: Let me sing you a song. [00:04:11] Speaker B: Let me sing you a song. [00:04:13] Speaker A: It won't take very long, girl. [00:04:16] Speaker D: What a fun song. [00:04:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:04:17] Speaker D: This guy just wants to. [00:04:19] Speaker E: He literally might just enjoy crossdressing. That's, I think the take, that's what. [00:04:23] Speaker D: It boiled down to. Yeah. [00:04:25] Speaker E: And it's also, he was a couple of guys, so it's not. He just calls his boyfriend girl. That's all it is. It's just a gay man who enjoys cross dressing, talking with his gay lover. That's a. And then I think that's great. [00:04:35] Speaker D: Happy pride, y'all. [00:04:37] Speaker E: Happy pride. [00:04:38] Speaker D: It's pride. [00:04:38] Speaker E: Yeah. Which is exciting. [00:04:40] Speaker D: I'm already sweaty. That was a great idea to wear this jacket indoors in the middle of summer. That's fun. Great idea on my part. [00:04:54] Speaker A: I, um. [00:04:55] Speaker E: Yeah, I love pride, man. It's been cool. The few events I've gone to. Did you see the viral, there's, like, viral discourse about, like, don't bring your straight boyfriend to pride. [00:05:05] Speaker D: Whoa, really? I have not seen this. [00:05:07] Speaker E: Yeah, there's a video that went, like, really viral on TikTok of some influencer being like, don't bring your straight boyfriend to pride. Like, bisexual women. Like, that's not cool. And then a bunch of people being like, that's stupid. Which I'm glad of because I thought it was pretty stupid. [00:05:21] Speaker D: Yeah. You know, I mean, I don't know. I am getting older, but when I was, like, younger, younger, like, in my late teens, early twenties, it was a thing of, I felt like the, the general sentiment, because you know, I had a gay roommate, so I'm an expert, of course. But he was very much like, no, it's for everybody. It's like, everybody to celebrate, blah, blah, blah. Like, you should come. We need you there to see, like, what we're all about. And then it, you know, 1520 years later, I'm not that old. I'm not that old. But, yeah, 15 or so years later, now, it's become like, this is our thing. You stay out. [00:05:58] Speaker E: Yeah, I mean, most. [00:05:59] Speaker D: And I see both sides. [00:06:00] Speaker E: Yeah, I don't. I'm not going to be the person to be like, this is how pride should be. Don't catch me not doing that. But, yeah, I was. I was glad more educated queer people than I came out to say, you know, how can you host an event about inclusivity? And also they pointed out some really good things, which is, like, you don't know. Like, the whole point of pride is that, like, sexuality is a spectrum and we should be inclusive. And so it's like, when you say, don't bring your straight boyfriend to pride, firstly, how do you know he's straight? [00:06:33] Speaker D: That's true. Like, well, it's pretty clear. He's, like, drinking a coors and he got a t shirt says, I'm the straight one. [00:06:40] Speaker E: Actually, I think wearing a t shirt that says I'm the straight one is queer. Like, there's something about that that's very queer coded. [00:06:48] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:06:49] Speaker E: Like, I'm the straight one is probably, like, I more imagine, like a transmasc person. [00:06:53] Speaker D: Yeah. So funny. [00:06:54] Speaker E: I'm very funny. But that's what I mean. It's like, they might be trans masc, they might be bisexual. A bisexual set. Cis man. There's just like, you don't know. And so it's like, the whole point is like, oh, so now you're policing who's at pride? It's like, this is, like, this is an event about inclusivity. So I thought that was cool, that the general vibe on the Internet was a clap back instead of being like, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:07:21] Speaker D: Cause again, when I was a very younger person, much younger person, that was the sentiment was like, let's get everybody involved. And I liked that because as a straight dude, I felt accepted in this space, because when I was younger, I was a little scared. Like, I don't know. I don't know if I should be in that space. But everybody was just like, cool. And I kind of see it as very much a celebration. Yes. [00:07:43] Speaker E: As long as. I think the trick is as long as you don't, like, center yourself in. [00:07:47] Speaker D: No, I did. I made sure it was all about me, and I said, who else wants to make out with only women? [00:07:55] Speaker E: Yeah, you got on that parade flight. [00:07:57] Speaker D: Exactly. [00:07:57] Speaker E: The one brought to you by Cisco. [00:08:00] Speaker D: Cisco networks knows that pride means a lot to you, so therefore, it means a lot to us. [00:08:04] Speaker E: Chase network understands that your small business is gay and also needs huge fees. [00:08:10] Speaker D: McDonald's get a gay big Mac. We call it the Bear MACD. Just this month only. [00:08:17] Speaker E: Wait, Big Mac isn't Burger King? [00:08:20] Speaker D: No, that's the whopper. [00:08:22] Speaker E: The whopper is the during pride. The quapper. [00:08:26] Speaker D: The queer whopper. The quapper. That sounds like something you want to get checked out at the doctor. [00:08:32] Speaker E: Doc. Doc. I think I might have coppers. [00:08:38] Speaker D: Oh, that's good news to hear. I'm not alone. I think I just copped my pants. [00:08:44] Speaker E: Drank a big cup of coffee, and now I copped my pants. Pants. [00:08:51] Speaker C: Stupid. [00:08:52] Speaker D: Gosh. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:55] Speaker E: But I love pride. [00:08:56] Speaker D: Happy pride. Corporations. [00:08:57] Speaker E: Yeah. Happy. [00:09:01] Speaker D: Happy pride. [00:09:02] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:09:03] Speaker D: I want to see more, like, how they really. I mean, don't get me wrong. They do. [00:09:06] Speaker E: Oh, I hadn't. I wanted to not forget about, like, inclusivity and I versus, like. Cause most groups have to define themselves by what's, like, outside of the group. [00:09:15] Speaker D: Right, right. [00:09:15] Speaker E: And so while I know it's not a one to one parallel, I was curious if you have ever gone to, like, events that are mostly black spaces. [00:09:23] Speaker D: I was gonna bring that up. [00:09:23] Speaker A: Oh, that's what you were gonna say. [00:09:25] Speaker E: I'm so glad I interrupted. [00:09:26] Speaker D: No, no, I think that's a perfect segue, because there are some. There are some things that I've been to, and I haven't been to so many, but there used to be, like, a juneteenth celebration, and there's lots of juneteenth celebrations, but there used to be one particular one that I would go to with my family. Like, that I think they stopped doing when I was, like, in high school. But we used to always go and just kind of, like, a lot of black vendors, they'd play, like, you know, black music. I don't know. So just music? [00:09:55] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah. All popular music with, I guess, minus Sabrina Carpenter. [00:10:02] Speaker D: And there would be, like. Sometimes there'd be certain vendors that had, like, some. Some of America's. No pun intended, dark history with, like, ties to slavery and, like, colored only signs and different stuff like that. Just to remind everybody. [00:10:17] Speaker E: This is stuff they just. [00:10:18] Speaker D: Of where we came from. They would sell it. Some people. Yeah, some people like to include that memorabilia to not forget. [00:10:26] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, I can see it. [00:10:28] Speaker D: But that being said, I think it's on the corporation side. I would love to see some more extremely targeted to black history month stuff, which I think would be really, really funny. The most I really see of it right now is, like, on the streamers, you see, like, black. [00:10:51] Speaker E: Like. [00:10:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:10:52] Speaker E: Black culture, black stories. Oh, my God. [00:10:54] Speaker D: But if, like. [00:10:55] Speaker E: And sometimes the link is tenuous. Have you ever noticed that? Yeah, sometimes I'm like. I'm, like, doing math in my head. It's like. I guess technically buzz lightyear is black coated. [00:11:08] Speaker D: Well, slinky. Space is dark. [00:11:12] Speaker E: Slinky kind of sounds like he could. [00:11:14] Speaker C: Chewbacca's black. [00:11:15] Speaker D: Oh, he's so. What's up, dog? Yeah, he's definitely black. [00:11:20] Speaker E: That's way better than from the south. [00:11:22] Speaker D: I've had a little practice. Yeah. Plus, I'm black, so I speak Chewbacca, but yeah. [00:11:31] Speaker E: Oh, wait, what? Wait, you want to see more targeted? [00:11:34] Speaker D: More like, let's. Let's just amp it up. Like, I don't know. What would it be like? Yo, this black history month, McDonald's offers you. It's about to get real offensive up here. McDonald offers you the fried chicken Big Mac with a side of cognac. This one's just for you. My people. McDonald's people. [00:11:58] Speaker F: Black people. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Yes. Stand on your feet if you're oppressed. [00:12:12] Speaker D: Yuck, yuck, yuck. [00:12:14] Speaker B: Everybody's wondering why. How do you identify? Look at me. I'm not that guy. [00:12:20] Speaker D: I'm just a black guy. Oh, I need that marketing. [00:12:24] Speaker B: That's just for me. Give me some really tasty black things. [00:12:29] Speaker A: To eat this summer. Non binary people get half off credit cards. This winter. Gay people get 15% off their home mortgage loan. [00:12:47] Speaker B: Every month, it gets a little more blurry, but where is the month dedicated solely to furries this summer? [00:12:56] Speaker A: Furries. 20% off your circumcisions. [00:13:03] Speaker B: I don't mean to sound so lamer, but where is the month dedicated to gamers yet? [00:13:11] Speaker A: This autumn? Gamers, 90% off. [00:13:17] Speaker D: One up. [00:13:19] Speaker A: One up. [00:13:22] Speaker E: It's a drink. [00:13:23] Speaker A: No, that's seven up. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Me, oh, my. Where is the month for me? Me, oh, my. [00:13:32] Speaker A: Where is the month for me? Where is my month? I need to find my month. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Where's my month? [00:13:39] Speaker A: Every month, looking for something, getting a percent off. Where's my month? I am needing my very own month. Which is why I go on comment boards and I say this. Where is white History Month? Where's white History month? Where's white History Month? I need a month for white history where straight people month. Stand up for straight people. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Finally. Oh, finally. A month that decaded for me. Straight white guys, we've been ignored for too long. [00:14:15] Speaker D: Now. [00:14:16] Speaker B: We will sing our song straight white. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Guys all summer, autumn, winter and spring. Straight white guys can enjoy basically 30% to 40% more on their paychecks all year long. [00:14:35] Speaker B: There is no glass ceiling for me. There is no glass ceiling. [00:14:43] Speaker A: There is no glass ceiling. There is no glass ceiling. [00:14:49] Speaker B: No, not at all. Every single month from winter to fall. [00:14:56] Speaker A: Eurovision crowd 2024, stand up. [00:15:11] Speaker D: This has been brought to you by betterhelp. If you feel like you're oppressed for no reason, get some fucking help. [00:15:19] Speaker E: Get some better help. [00:15:21] Speaker D: You need better help. [00:15:22] Speaker E: I know when I'm struggling, Jack. I. There's. You know when you're struggling and you need a helping hand, you need a company that scrapes customer data to provide therapy solutions. [00:15:38] Speaker D: Love it. What's it called? [00:15:41] Speaker E: Oh, I wouldn't name it. Not without getting paid. [00:15:44] Speaker D: Are we sponsored yet? [00:15:45] Speaker E: Yeah. Yeah, it is. I mean, I don't know that much about better help. I'm not trying to shade on them. I like the idea as an idea. It was great. There was just some very bad press that they got about basically not having the proper privacy or HIPAA around their customer data at all. [00:16:06] Speaker D: I think that. I think we're entering an era of post therapy. We went. We had pre therapy where it was like, man, you need some help. And then everybody was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody starts talking. Just talk about your feelings. Talk about your feelings. You gotta get some help. Get a therapist. Then we're in. We were in the moment for, like, a solid ten years. I'd say from, like, 2013 to 2023. The era of therapy. And now we're seeing, like, oh, people. [00:16:35] Speaker E: Being like, I don't think I need that. [00:16:36] Speaker D: I don't think I need it. [00:16:37] Speaker E: I think I figured it out. [00:16:39] Speaker D: We're seeing the benefit. [00:16:40] Speaker E: Like, we're seeing the benefits and. Oh, you're saying we're seeing therapy speak. [00:16:44] Speaker D: Yes. That's what I'm trying to get. Yes, yes. [00:16:46] Speaker E: Where it's like, you know, people talk, calling love bombing just somebody, like, being affectionate. [00:16:51] Speaker D: Right, right, right. I. It's a. It's very interesting or the whole thing. Shout out to my man. My number one, Jonah Hill, went viral for that. Those awesome texts that he sent. Yo, Jonah, you funny, dog. But, yeah, Jonah, if you see this, we love you, dog. [00:17:05] Speaker E: We'd love to get you on the pod. [00:17:07] Speaker D: On the pod. [00:17:08] Speaker E: We would love to discuss what. What that was all about. [00:17:11] Speaker D: Yeah, man. [00:17:12] Speaker E: We think your side of the story did not get told. [00:17:14] Speaker D: Let's hear it. [00:17:15] Speaker E: Let's hear it, dog. [00:17:16] Speaker D: Don't worry. We will not be dressed in bikinis during the interview. [00:17:20] Speaker E: Don't worry, dude. We're gonna keep it so conservative. [00:17:23] Speaker D: For you, puritan style. For you, Jonah. [00:17:26] Speaker E: For you, Jonah, I will change my career. Look, I know professionally, Jack and I were bikini models before this, but for you, we will stop. [00:17:36] Speaker D: I'll do anything different. You know, it's like, I do. I make fun of it because it's easy to make fun of. But I see the sentiment there. If you are somebody who's trying to learn, like, you've been told that you're bad. I. Right. Or you've been told that. You've been told that you did something incorrectly in terms of interpersonal relationships or something like that. Romantic relationship. And so then you do. You go to the therapy. You get the lingo, you get the words, but it doesn't automatically change you. You go to therapy for a little bit. Now you're using these words, but you're still kind of the same person, and it's kind of tough. And you're like, wait, wait, so this is still bad? Even though I'm, like, you know, expressing my boundaries or I'm doing this stuff, and I think it is a difficult line to walk at times. [00:18:27] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:18:28] Speaker D: You know, but, you know, it's. [00:18:29] Speaker E: I mean, I think I. [00:18:31] Speaker D: It's not the cure all is what I'm getting at. [00:18:33] Speaker E: Oh, absolutely. [00:18:34] Speaker D: Therapy's not the cure all. [00:18:35] Speaker E: Yeah. This episode brought to you by better help. It can help, but not make. Not to make you better, you know? [00:18:42] Speaker D: Cause, like, I was doing therapy a lot after a breakup. [00:18:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:18:46] Speaker D: And that's what really, like, led me to it, because I was feeling very, very low. [00:18:50] Speaker E: Yes. [00:18:51] Speaker D: And the therapy helped, but what I think really, really helped me is the place where I was getting therapy done was offering these classes so you yourself could become a community therapist. Oh, yeah. And I took this course, and that, to me, helped me more than the. [00:19:10] Speaker E: Therapy in the individualized therapy community. You did, like community and sort of social work adjacent. [00:19:17] Speaker D: Yes. Yes. [00:19:18] Speaker E: Therapy classes and how to mediate. [00:19:20] Speaker D: How to. Excuse me. How to mediate, how to meet somebody where they're at with, like, the kind of. The goal of this class was to. You could use the certificate to then counsel kids who are forced to get therapy through some sort of judge ruling, and they don't want to be there. So you're trying to, like, appeal to them and like, try to meet them where they're at in terms of having them release some things, because I think releasing things is great. Talking about some things is great. What I think therapy has become a little bit and why I'm also saying it's kind of a post therapy society is now you have these like, things. You're never wrong. Oh, you're never wrong to your therapist. You know what I'm saying? [00:20:04] Speaker E: Because your therapist, no matter what did to you interpersonally, their therapist is telling them that was self care. [00:20:10] Speaker D: Yes, yes. [00:20:11] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:20:12] Speaker D: You know, it's an interesting place to be. [00:20:13] Speaker E: It isn't. I'm not, I'm not sure. I mean, that hasn't been my experience with therapy. And yet I also hear you that, like, it is interesting. Every time I've brought up an interpersonal conflict, my therapist always took my side. [00:20:26] Speaker D: My side. Yeah. [00:20:27] Speaker E: But I think the baseline people require for therapy is an, is an intuitive sense that they are not the center of the universe. Because then in that context, most of the work my therapist does with me is actually encouraging me to center myself when I often center others. Like when I'm often overthinking what someone else needs or is thinking about instead going just like, well, what do you need? What do you want? Like, what if you were. So, it's fun. But I agree with you. Of course there's going to be other people who do the, who are having the opposite thing happen where their therapist might be either not doing it at all or subtly encouraging them. And it's like, and what about when you screamed at them and told them they were a worthless human being? What do you think maybe their perspective on that was. I don't know. [00:21:18] Speaker D: Cause I think sometimes, I think they're in a difficult position too. Cause it's still a business, right? [00:21:24] Speaker A: Sure. [00:21:24] Speaker D: So they don't want, like you say something off the bat, especially if you haven't built a relationship with this therapist, like even professional relationship with this therapist. They could, they don't want to tell you things that are going to turn you off right away. Do you know what I'm saying? Because then you're in a position of like, well, when somebody is harsh out. [00:21:41] Speaker E: The gate of market for therapists right now, maybe the therapist could be like, I mean, I don't think we're a fit. [00:21:46] Speaker D: Maybe. Maybe. So. [00:21:47] Speaker E: Yeah, I think some therapists would do that if someone was really toxic. Just be like, I don't think we're a fit. [00:21:54] Speaker D: A good fit. Yeah. [00:21:55] Speaker E: Like, rather but also, then maybe that's an opportunity. I bet every therapist has a different modality if they think about that. [00:22:01] Speaker D: Like, lawyers, they have. They are very. On the scale of morality. [00:22:05] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [00:22:06] Speaker D: And making money. [00:22:07] Speaker E: Yeah. Also, I mean, therapy lawyers have the weird thing of, like, thinking that, like, they have a moral position. It's like, because they're arguing. Like, they have a responsibility to argue for someone. They might. I couldn't be a lawyer, let's leave it at that. Without me throwing all lawyers under the bus. [00:22:25] Speaker D: I think that that's. That's interesting. My therapist, the number one thing she would say to me is, you're stinky. Why don't you try a shower? [00:22:38] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:22:40] Speaker D: Why did you wear a jacket indoors on a summer day doing a podcast with no ac? [00:22:44] Speaker E: He's always saying that. [00:22:45] Speaker D: What were they saying? [00:22:46] Speaker E: What were they saying? [00:22:47] Speaker D: No, just, what if it didn't go bad? What if it didn't catastrophe? Cause I tend to catastrophize. Like, then this could happen and this could happen, and this could happen, and this is bad. And this person thinks this thing. And then a simple phrase that really helped me was like, okay, but what if it didn't? [00:23:04] Speaker E: What if it didn't? [00:23:05] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, oh. [00:23:08] Speaker E: What if all those things you wanted just came true? [00:23:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:23:12] Speaker E: What if that limb you went out on? [00:23:15] Speaker D: Hell, what if all that money that you borrowed you were able to pay back? [00:23:21] Speaker E: And what if that girl you liked liked you back, baby? [00:23:24] Speaker D: Yeah, what if. [00:23:28] Speaker A: What if everything is coming up my way? Coming up my way as I roll down the highway of life. [00:23:42] Speaker B: It'S coming up my way. [00:23:45] Speaker F: I'm feeling good. Today I made a wish with the genie. So I think I'm gonna grow 10ft tall. [00:23:55] Speaker A: Ever since I got that genie, I've had a really big weenie always looking good in my tight bikini. [00:24:03] Speaker E: Ooh. [00:24:04] Speaker F: Every day I've wished for 100 girlfriends. And for my dick to be so thick I gotta carry it with a wheelbarrow. What if it all turns out for me? What if I get everything I need? What if I get to have every single thing that I've ever wanted in this life? [00:24:29] Speaker A: What if I wished for that world peace and it suddenly it came to be? What if everything that I want and need came to me? [00:24:40] Speaker B: Came to me? [00:24:42] Speaker F: Every day I want sushi for lunch. [00:24:45] Speaker A: Every day I want sushi for brunch. Every day I want rainfruit punched. And every day, I want chicken for dinner. Every day I want to be a winner. Every day. Play guitar. Not like I'm a beginner. Come on, baby, I ain't no sinner. [00:25:06] Speaker F: In the Olympics, I run the race. In my perfect world. I just got first place in the. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Dream of my life. I make everybody go into my wife. Oh. [00:25:20] Speaker F: In Olympic village, I don't catch no STD's. I'm not rubbing it up. I'm taking it off of me. [00:25:32] Speaker A: In Olympic village, it's easy to get around. All the signage is perfectly clear. When I'm trying to get around town, the LA becomes walkable. The subways come on time. We've got low urban density and we've got low crime. [00:25:54] Speaker F: What if I got everything that I wanted? What if I got everything that I need? [00:26:00] Speaker A: And what if it happened without that genie? Maybe the genie's inside. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Maybe that genie's inside. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Maybe I'm the one who can give me that feeling of pride. [00:26:18] Speaker F: I can never do anything wrong. I'm the main character of this song. I can do what I want, say what I want, go where I want. Everything I want is right and my. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Name is Randon Newman. [00:26:36] Speaker E: Boo boo da boo buddy, boo buddy. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Boo buddy bo bo, toy story. [00:26:46] Speaker D: Oh, man, that's great. [00:26:48] Speaker E: That song is so nice. [00:26:49] Speaker D: I know. It's a nice song. I could tell you wanted to keep it so positive. I was like, I'm trying to make this dirty. [00:26:55] Speaker E: Yeah. Right away you're like, my dick is cute. [00:26:58] Speaker A: I'm working on everybody, and I'm like. [00:27:01] Speaker C: I'm having a nice day. Low, high urban density. [00:27:08] Speaker D: I mean, it's like the guy who gets everything that he wants, and then at first, it's altruistic, and then I. It becomes, like, very selfish. [00:27:17] Speaker E: Yeah, like the Groundhog day. Opposite. Where at first he's selfish, and then he becomes nice to everybody. [00:27:23] Speaker D: Wow. Has everybody done that yet? Opposite Groundhog day, where the guy gets worse through a time loop? That's kind of a great idea. [00:27:33] Speaker E: Right away, his instinct is like, wait, I've seen Groundhog day, so I just need to be nice to everybody, and then that doesn't work. He's like, ah, I'm gonna be mean. He gets worse and worse and becomes, like, an evil God. [00:27:43] Speaker D: Yeah, that's really, really funny. Cause there's, like, that Palm springs one with Andy. [00:27:48] Speaker E: Yeah. Where he's been stuck for a long time. And it starts in the middle. [00:27:51] Speaker D: Yeah. But then it ends. [00:27:53] Speaker E: It always ends with them being nice. Yeah, they, like, good. [00:27:56] Speaker D: Figure it out and talk to people. And I'm like, no, let's make it, like, maybe even a horror movie or a thriller where this guy just gets worse and worse because he realizes he has the power of a God and can never die. [00:28:07] Speaker E: Yes, but it's also tortured by the sameness of all things forever. [00:28:12] Speaker D: Man, that's where my head's at. [00:28:15] Speaker E: Yeah, clearly. [00:28:16] Speaker D: That's really, really funny. [00:28:18] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:28:18] Speaker D: What would you do if you. If you had a Groundhog day situation? [00:28:21] Speaker E: Fight a groundhog day situation? I don't know. Like every day was the same. [00:28:27] Speaker D: Every day was the same. I'm trying not to sing. [00:28:36] Speaker E: Not to sing D'Angelo. [00:28:41] Speaker F: What if every day were Groundhog's day? [00:28:44] Speaker A: Selling D'Angelo. [00:28:45] Speaker F: What if every day was groundhog's day? Living the same day on repay. [00:28:51] Speaker C: I wake up in a bale of hay. That's where I fell asleep in the farm land that started my day. So I gotta take a shower in the farmhouse while the wife is away. And then it's time to start the repeat of the same damn day. [00:29:10] Speaker A: 14 steps ahead of me someone's gonna. [00:29:13] Speaker C: Trip and hurt their knee. [00:29:15] Speaker F: Hurt their knee. [00:29:16] Speaker C: I'm gonna hear a chicken call. It's going cock a doodle doo at the top of the hour. I can predict everything. People are surprised and they look inside my eyes. They see that I am so damn tired of repeating this stupid life. [00:29:31] Speaker F: Here's the thing about my day. It's the same day my girl broke up with me. [00:29:35] Speaker D: May. [00:29:35] Speaker F: It's the same day that I also got fired. I really hate this day. [00:29:41] Speaker C: This is the day the air in LA is pretty toxic and not nice. [00:29:45] Speaker F: No, no, no. [00:29:46] Speaker C: I have to travel 40 miles east to even see the sun rise. [00:29:51] Speaker F: What if I was living the worst day? Live, living the worst day every day? What if I was living the worst day? [00:29:58] Speaker C: Living the worst day ever? [00:30:00] Speaker F: The worst day. [00:30:01] Speaker C: What if I was living it through? Gotta be there and get a tattoo. But the tattoo doesn't even stick. [00:30:08] Speaker E: It's gone. [00:30:09] Speaker C: When I wake up in the morning off my dick. [00:30:11] Speaker F: What if this is the day that my car got towed away? Why is this the day that I'm living on repeat, the worst day of all my life? [00:30:21] Speaker C: I've already done the days when I. [00:30:24] Speaker F: Murder everyone, every single person in the city. [00:30:27] Speaker C: But I'm not a psychopath, so it's not that fun. Just a bad day. [00:30:35] Speaker E: D'Angelo's song. Just a bad, bad day it's just. [00:30:38] Speaker F: A real bad day that I can't escape. Like I got fired from a job and had a real bad day. [00:30:49] Speaker D: Yeah, but not the Aziz kind of bad date. Like a really mutual just bad date. [00:30:53] Speaker E: Not the Aziz Ansari kind of bad date. [00:30:57] Speaker D: I don't know if you remember all that discussion. I remember when people were just like, that thing just sounds like a bad date to me. And I was learning, and I was very quiet, and I was like, yeah. [00:31:07] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [00:31:08] Speaker D: I was young once. Oh, God. [00:31:10] Speaker A: Oh. [00:31:10] Speaker E: In terms of just being like, oh, boy. That lack of communication and. [00:31:14] Speaker D: Yes. [00:31:14] Speaker E: And general weird vibe is something I can identify with, even if it didn't go the way Aziz's went. [00:31:21] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I could. I could justice for Aziz. I could honestly say that it didn't go that route. [00:31:29] Speaker E: No. [00:31:29] Speaker D: But, um, that story and the discourse around it was enough to make me go a little like, God, I'm looking at my own past in the world. [00:31:39] Speaker E: In the journalism world, there was a little bit of a backlash to the way Babe reported. Babe was the news publication who reported on that and the way they sensationalized some things. But I also know jumping into this particular discussion without having the article in front of me and thinking about it. [00:31:57] Speaker D: I'm like, and it's like, seven years old now. [00:31:59] Speaker E: It's seven years old. Yeah. No, I mean, yeah, I remember reading it and going, oh. Because, yeah, you're. This is during the me too movement. [00:32:09] Speaker D: Yeah, you're. [00:32:10] Speaker E: And kind of at the tail end of a large string of high profile celebrity indictments in pop culture. Yeah. Being like, oh, wait, is this as bad as this is? Everything like that is uncomfortable also the same as it is conflict the same thing as abuse? Is conflict the same thing as assault? And no, I don't think so personally, but everyone draws their own lines around tough topics like that. I will tell someone how to feel. But, yeah, I read the book conflict is not abuse shortly after that, and it made me. It's written by someone very qualified who has lots of experience in working with survivors of abuse and working through conflict, interpersonal conflict with people and trying to make. Trying to build a culture where we don't conflate the two. And I thought that was really helpful to read that after and go, okay, like, I can learn. There's things to learn and be responsible about without also abdicating any moral responsibility to deal with conflict. [00:33:17] Speaker D: Yes, yes. I think that the biggest thing I learned from that, plus, I was older. The things that it made me think about, I was. Not that it's an excuse, but I was much younger, and I felt like the vibe is different now, even for, like, younger people. And not that abuse was ever cool, but when I was younger, I felt like there was a no we don't talk about that stuff on both sides. Like, women don't talk about this. Men don't talk about this. You just kind of are playing on these guessing games of boundaries. You know what I mean? [00:33:46] Speaker E: Oh, in terms of sexual contact. [00:33:49] Speaker D: Contact, yeah, sexual contact or central contact, however you want to phrase it. But, like, you know, making out and kissing and what you like and what you don't like. And I, when I was, I think that some of that stuff comes with age because I'm thinking again, like, late teens, early twenties, and you kind of like, oh, I need to, like, be very vocal. So something that I think is great that came out of all of those things are, hey, a guys. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. Be verbal and enthusiastic. Consent. Do you know what I mean? And it's cool to ask because I remember I had this discussion, this is a true discussion that I had back in my early twenties where it was like, on the first date, do you ask a young lady if you can kiss them? [00:34:36] Speaker E: Yeah. Cause some people, I remember conversations like this that was like the height of uncool. [00:34:43] Speaker D: Yes, exactly, exactly. Like, can I kiss you? [00:34:45] Speaker E: That was like a lame thing to say. [00:34:47] Speaker D: You had to fill the moment. [00:34:48] Speaker E: Mood breaker. [00:34:49] Speaker D: Yes, yes, exactly. [00:34:51] Speaker E: And I mean, let's be like, I mean, you also, as you grow, you learn to read non. [00:34:56] Speaker D: Yeah, you can read it a little bit more. Yeah. But still, it. I think no one teaches you that. [00:35:02] Speaker E: When you're really young, or at least they didn't used to. Now there's, like, an Internet culture that teaches you, and I think that's so. I think that's so amazing. [00:35:08] Speaker D: And it makes, that takes the stigma away if you do ask. Right. Because before it did used to be associated with, like, not having game or being lame or whatever. And. And that string of thinking leads to other miscommunications. [00:35:22] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:35:23] Speaker D: And escalations. So it's cool that this is, like, part of the culture now where you can ask somebody and it's a cool thing to be like, hey, can I kiss you? Plus, when I got older, I found cool ways to do it, you know, because you're like, you're close already and you could read the signs. Like, okay, you already know this person wants to. [00:35:39] Speaker E: You're like a lawyer. [00:35:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:35:41] Speaker E: Like, you're not gonna ask any question you don't already know the answer. If you're wondering, the answer is probably no. But some people are bad. [00:35:48] Speaker D: Yes. Yeah. [00:35:50] Speaker E: Nonverbal communication, too. I mean, there's so many missed opportunities between people who just like, that was like the story of me being a teenager too, was looking back and going, wait, they were into me. And I just never asked because I was terrified to ask because that was uncool. It's like, what a liberating. Like, how many more young people must be, like, I hope, falling in love or experiencing their first crushes in mutuality, because they don't feel as afraid to actually just say what they're. Maybe they do. I mean, being a teenager and saying what you're thinking is still tough, the hardest thing in the world. I don't envy that. [00:36:31] Speaker D: And now there's even more social media. It was like, right? [00:36:35] Speaker E: Like, if you text somebody, like, hey. [00:36:37] Speaker A: Do you want to go out? [00:36:38] Speaker E: Like, what's the worst that can happen? They tell. They share it with everyone that they rejected you, and they viciously turn you down. [00:36:44] Speaker D: Can you believe this person did this? And then, like, circle things and cross out names, but, you know, it's you, and you're like, ooh, I thought I was okay. Yeah, I would. I feel bad for some of the teenagers today, but I don't know if that's old man speaking. Like, does every generation feel bad for the teenagers that come after that, or. I just feel like nobody's ever had to deal with this much, like, social media and living online and comparing yourself to others. It's, like, built into culture now, when it. I didn't feel it was at this extreme when we were younger. [00:37:17] Speaker E: Yeah, but there's these benefits, like, more. More clarity about who you're. [00:37:23] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:37:24] Speaker E: More communication. [00:37:26] Speaker D: Communication. [00:37:27] Speaker E: Or at least it's modeled. Like, if you want to find it, you can. And I don't know if kids are seeing the same tiktoks I am. [00:37:35] Speaker D: You and a small child probably have the same algorithm. [00:37:37] Speaker E: I think they're probably seeing a lot of minecraft over videos of Joe Rogan or something. [00:37:44] Speaker D: That is so funny. But, yeah. Also, the Internet culture of today allows people to feel more free. Bringing it back to pride and stuff. [00:37:53] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:37:53] Speaker D: You're like, oh, wow, there's these communities. Now how I'm feeling makes sense. And that's another beautiful thing. [00:37:59] Speaker E: You can find a community for anything on the Internet. Kind of like find your crowd. Yeah. [00:38:13] Speaker F: Mother's milk. [00:38:15] Speaker B: I'm not a baby, but I still drink mother's milk. I'm not a toddler, but I still drink mother's milk. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Play doh. I love eating. Play doh.
