Good morning, mister. You look like a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed right now.
Speaker 2:Are you making fun?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, I actually don't look as bad as I thought I would when I looked in the mirror.
Speaker 1:You don't look as bad as you feel.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's not a good sign.
Speaker 1:Yes, because you don't look that well.
Speaker 2:I'm doing it literally for the plot Kyle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and last night was a plot twist.
Speaker 2:Honestly, the debriefing that needs to go down.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, we went to go see Tori Kelly last night and, oh my gosh, it was so much fun. We were about a half hour late because we were at home singing karaoke just by ourselves.
Speaker 2:But we hit some notes though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would say it wasn't our best performance, but we we were trying out new material.
Speaker 2:So you know, there's a learning curve yeah, and my vocal coach hadn't gone over those songs with me yet and that would be me.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, well, you gotta oh god, you gotta start somewhere.
Speaker 2:That's where I was gonna say we're gonna have to keep this episode juicy, so my brain stays in it, yeah absolutely. Well, I just wanted to welcome everyone and say happy bottom autumn, happy bottom autumn. Today's the first day of autumn.
Speaker 1:I mean, when this releases, it'll be like, oh, actually a couple days from now, because we're behind.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is our second day in a row. Two of three.
Speaker 1:And we're recording again tomorrow. Yeah, prepare to be sick of me?
Speaker 2:I already am. So do we? Are we just gonna like recount our stories from last night because it brings up several good topics yeah, I know, but what would you say like?
Speaker 1:the theme is, if you like, recapped the whole evening in your brain I think the unfamously unwell could be summarized until last night.
Speaker 2:The only thing that's missing is a toxic x. That's the only category that was not checked. Yeah, oh, let's. I want us to go in chronological order okay, okay I think that that's yeah so we're recording here. We're gonna go to tori kelly and before you leave you're like let's find the gays.
Speaker 1:Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:We found the gang.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we call an Uber. Get in the car and the driver is like, are you guys together? And we were like, no, we're roommates, we're going to Tori Kelly and he goes well, you got yourself a gay driver tonight.
Speaker 2:is there, lucky you, or something like that um, you were like oh, does that mean we can vape?
Speaker 1:and he was like only if I can we were like slay, queen slay and I was even gonna roll down the window, but they're all child lock.
Speaker 2:But then he's like oh my god, I love toy kelly, couldn't. He could not find a single fucking song on his phone.
Speaker 1:No, I think he was just trying to flirt with us, but I think he was also stoned as fuck. As fuck like his car smelled like cigarette smoke. When I got in he said welcome to my vehicle.
Speaker 2:You weren't there yet, but I'm gonna start telling people that when I hook up with them welcome to my vehicle in the car kids get in oh my god, like a soccer mom. How many can that van fit? Well, apparently more than one.
Speaker 1:So then we get to Miss Kelly. Yes, we do, and we thought that there was going to be an opener. So we're like, okay, it starts at 8.30. We'll get there at like nine. Nope, she just kicked things off and went right into a million runs and we missed like at least three or four songs, right, we missed half the set list. Yeah, that's yeah, and the very first song she does is my favorite, yeah, and the new song that I love diamond or diamonds, what is?
Speaker 2:it.
Speaker 1:Diamonds. Yeah, missed that one.
Speaker 2:I was like that's like, that's like three fourths of the way down, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like a quarter of the way down diamonds on that's so good.
Speaker 2:Good, anyways, we love tori kelly. Shout out to tori kelly, we should tag her. Yeah, and she that. I don't know how someone could just like we'll be speaking or like singing any, literally any note and just start doing a run on it and like the runs are just like combinations of notes that I could not even conceive in my head, let alone perform and it's not like on the spot, like she just makes it up.
Speaker 2:I think uh, oh, that's because she it was born to do that. Yeah, I know you can just tell, but it's not like christina aguilera just doing the same like belty, like it's, it's her falsetto. It's her like super high pitch and then like low and she goes everywhere yeba is, who is the only other artist I've heard that does that well.
Speaker 1:I have like listened to some like reels or like YouTube videos with her and her like vocal coach who specifically does runs and just like makes up the like weirdest combination of like notes to give her and then she does them and just like blows my mind every time.
Speaker 2:And we had a hot take that her and Jessie J are similar with the way they can control their voice and put it wherever the fuck they want. Right, and can like hit a note, can like drag out a note.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But we also had a hot take that best vocalist.
Speaker 1:Literally. I think she's like I've seen Adele and you've seen Beyonce. I've seen Beyonce.
Speaker 2:Christina Aguilera, Mariah I've seen all of these girls Because it wasn't even for wow factor.
Speaker 1:I didn't even see she was trying.
Speaker 2:To do that, on tour To do that. There was also no backup dancers, there was just a pianist and a drummer who weren't even there for half the show, like they showed up kind of at the end I think she did an acoustic set yeah and when we arrived, yeah, and she, she literally took two songs that the crowd picked and played them, yeah, and sing them and like, so, like she had her repertoire had to be, every song is a possibility.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and I think it's just like in her brain all the time for 30 we got these tickets yeah it was great there was babies there there were babies with headphones, okay, and I also had my loop ear earplugs in, yeah you got to use them, I know, and they're spectacular you could actually hear me better.
Speaker 2:I could hear everything.
Speaker 1:You heard me better than but it just brings down those really loud sounds to a normal volume.
Speaker 2:I should maybe invest in them, because my hearing is going they're like $35.
Speaker 1:A bargain, do it.
Speaker 2:Honestly, we spent more on drinks and Ubers last night and that just ruins our body and that's protecting it. That's true.
Speaker 1:Invest in future Caleb.
Speaker 2:I did today by having my Baja Blast.
Speaker 1:Oh good, you did think about your future self.
Speaker 2:I had a Baja Blast last night.
Speaker 1:You went to Taco Bell.
Speaker 2:I did no, but I'm not having a Baja Blast right now, but I had a Baja blast right now. But, like I had a Baja blast with you last night, we had so much fun, that's what I was getting at, so Clever. Then the show ends and we're like okay, let's go to the hill.
Speaker 1:Because we're still looking for the gays. Yeah, like our Uber driver, that wasn't enough. Well, and also the crowd at a Tori Kelly concert not super gay, it's a lot of like um suburban straight couples. I say there were a lot of like straight couples, kind of in their like 20s and 30s with a little like religious undertones. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:yes, but the girls who brought their straight boyfriend christian but also low-key.
Speaker 1:High-key have good taste yes, because our girl next to me clearly was singing every no and like had.
Speaker 2:Oh, she was so good too. I'm glad I couldn't hear that, because I had my earplugs in so then we go to get in the uber, but we walk a little bit and then you're like I'll have to go pee lo and behold.
Speaker 2:Guess what we find a honey bucket and then you swing open, that I'm like, wait, let me take your photo. I took your photo, I'll post on the internet. No, um. And then you swing open that I'm like, wait, let me take your photo. I took your photo, I'll post it on the internet. No, and then you open the door and you're like, oh, absolutely not. I'm like Kyle, don't be dramatic. So you're pissing outside of it. I'm like, don't be dramatic, I'll go in there. I've never seen a honey bucket so full. I just full it was. And I'm like don't be dramatic. So then I'm like just breathe through your mouth. I go in there. He's dry heaving literally.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm like pissing on the outside of it. I was like I'm glad I didn't go in you. You were in there for a little bit well, I had to.
Speaker 2:My bladder was held. Yeah, yeah, it was, I had to release it. Yeah, then we finally get an uber to the hill.
Speaker 1:Yep, capital hill we are. We get gayborhood in seattle, oh yes, but we go.
Speaker 2:I'm like you're like, where do we want to go? I'm like I want to go to queer bar.
Speaker 1:That's why I want to dance then we forget that's not what I said. That's not what I said. I said that, yeah, okay, because I want to dance yeah, but I kept we.
Speaker 2:I got all the way there and I forgot that it was only 10 pm correct, yeah, so where do we go? There's still a drag show going on. We go to mount joyce, right next to it, yep, a little restaurant and I got a kid's meal and I got some celery sticks and the baby apple juice.
Speaker 1:I was like, do you want a chicken strip? And he's like, no, I'm, I'm just gonna have this piece of celery. I was like, oh yeah, because you're bottoming tonight I couldn't I know she's toxic. Yeah, I ate all the chicken. It's all good. And was it good? It was really really good, actually, yeah, actually, factually. Could have used more ranch, but yeah.
Speaker 2:I did one time after drinking, go and get a milkshake there. I wish they had better milkshake options, because it was like weird combinations.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Like, almost like if you went to like a smoothie place and like they put like collagen in it or some shit.
Speaker 1:No, no, you don't want a healthy milkshake when you want a healthy smoothie or you want to be bad and you get a milkshake a strawberry cheesecake milkshake. I'm gonna give them feedback. They should do that, yeah if they're looking for feedback I just go to dq.
Speaker 2:Get yourself a blizzard so they they dip it upside down, but then you remember those like sticks that make that noise.
Speaker 1:You turn upside down. Yes, wait, that was pretty good, right, yeah, yeah so maybe I'll stick the grinder.
Speaker 2:You step for that. Um, so then we do pay to go in. There's still a drag show. We're like it's too early for this. We go to union union. We're classy bitches.
Speaker 1:I get a glass of wine, you get a ipr, ipa, ipr, irl um international personal record and you get your ipr and, like most makeouts, in one night it's my ipr oh no, I got an ipa up here my brain. I try to act so interested.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right um and we're not there very long, like we're like chugging, we have one drink.
Speaker 1:We just do like a fruit loop, which, if you don't know what a fruit loop is, it's where you and your friend go around the entire bar and you just like check for cute fruits.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your eyes are peeled, you're looking, but you're not making it known that you're looking. Yeah. You're walking with intention and you're just like casually and like, oh my gosh, you just said something so funny like I'm just gonna laugh meanwhile do.
Speaker 1:They know that we're just crop testing everyone. Okay. Also, you know, we should try one time what um.
Speaker 1:Chicken got through you girl okay, like you go around the bar going in one direction and I go around the bar in the other direction and we just like tap people and be like have you seen my friend caleb? This is what he looks like, you know. Blah, blah, blah. He's like on a podcast, blah, blah, blah. And then of course, everyone's like no, I don't know who your friend caleb is or what he looks like, you know. But then we like meet back up in the middle and then we go back around the whole bar together and tell everyone hey look, I found my friend Caleb.
Speaker 2:What I love is when we do meet back in the middle. We make it a scene.
Speaker 1:There he is, there, there you are. And then everyone turns around and looks and then I'm like running looks yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I'm like running, you do a little lift, there's no music playing, probably. And then I'm like oh, my god, I've been looking for you and then we don't go around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, like make a scene and and then everyone will, at the end of the night, will be like do?
Speaker 2:you remember?
Speaker 1:the that guy that was looking for his friend caleb what was the name of that podcast? Again, yeah, done that's gonna be that's called gorilla marketing honey that is our mo like. Oh, how's your day going. It's good because of my podcast and unwell we are yeah but I love this bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too okay so then, while we're, you were going to tell the story like, do we tell him?
Speaker 1:we tell him, tell him, oh, biblically man well, caleb um points out this like really pretty girl, and he's yeah, she's talking to someone and their back is turned to us, and so I walk up to her and just give her a compliment and let her know that her fashion is on point. Her beat is amazing pulsating yeah, and, and then the person that she's talking to turns around and I'm like oh hi, I know you.
Speaker 2:We like had sex after um hannah montana, were you stealing her skirt then?
Speaker 1:no, I had gotten rid of the skirt at that point wow, those skirts really did a number for us, yeah, and then she starts interrogating us, being like, oh, how do you know each other? I'm like, oh, intimately. And then she's like what does that mean? I'm like biblically, like how, how more obvious do I need it? And you could tell. Then she's like, what does that mean? I'm like biblically, like how, how more obvious do I need it?
Speaker 1:and you can tell the guy was like I know he's like okay, that was like at three o'clock in the morning, yeah meanwhile it's still 10 pm.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's too early to be reliving that. Yeah, experience, but just imagine how he was like wow, you're probably way more attractive than I remember. You know, because usually it's the opposite, like if you go with someone, he probably was thinking that he was like wow, you're probably way more attractive than I remember you know, because usually it's the opposite, like if you go with someone, he probably was thinking that.
Speaker 1:He was like wow, you know, I scored that.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna go with that narrative, yeah so then we finish our drinks, yep, and then we go back to queer bar, but on the way there something happens I'm just now it's all flooding back to me, the dead mom of it all. So we're walking, which? What is like a few blocks. Spoiler alert a few blocks yeah, it's like three or four blocks or something so by now it's like 10, 30, 10, 45 and I'm like we are walking down the sidewalk and this man is in the bush there's a man just like passed out like on his back which I'm like thinking uh, this person could like throw up and aspirate and die, and then you.
Speaker 1:I'm like kyle we have to stop yeah, yeah, you were like we need to stop. And then my first thought was you're a nurse, so like this is a good person to like check on this um other, this guy passed out in the bushes with. And so we get down on our knees in the bush with him and just kind of like tap him and are you okay? What did you ask him?
Speaker 2:I said hey, can you wake up for me, can you wake up? He's like I'm fine and I was like no, you're not. I said open your eyes, let us just chat yeah and I said are you here with someone where, like we like, I'm just trying to assess the scene? To make sure he's safe, Because he had blood on his knee that was not his blood Right and I kept pointing it out. I was like whose blood is?
Speaker 1:that you kept whispering it to me.
Speaker 2:I'm like, whose blood is that?
Speaker 1:But he's like really just out of it, like barely awake, barely conscious At the beginning Definitely like completely blackout, like didn't know where he was or how he got there. And so we started asking him, like, do you have a phone? Like uh, can we call someone? Can we get you an uber back to your house? What's your address? And and you patted him down I did to like make sure he did give you consent.
Speaker 2:He lifted his butt yeah, he did.
Speaker 1:He did um good butt honestly, oh my god, he was a little cutie but he didn't. He didn't have a phone, he didn't have a wallet no, keys no keys and I think, like once he realized that he didn't have any of those things, he was like oh fuck because it kind of kind of clicked like I'm.
Speaker 1:I'm in a bush, I'm not sure where, but there's a bunch of people like out and about and I could tell that he started like getting worried, you know, like not, I wouldn't say like panicked, but he was definitely like oh fuck, like where am I?
Speaker 2:I think you asked him have you had a lot to drink tonight?
Speaker 1:and that's when he tells us his mom died the day before yeah so meanwhile, then I grabbed his hand and I was like almost in tears because I was like, oh fuck, like you are dealing with some shit and you're probably, you know, on a fucking bender and just trying to like numb the pain of your mom fucking passing what I loved is we gave there was like this, like almost moment of silence, like acknowledging it was like we're really sorry. Like we were so genuine like with him.
Speaker 2:We were just so like. That's really tough.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to help him yeah.
Speaker 2:So then anyways.
Speaker 1:he had no phone, no wallet. His mom died, Heidi was her name yeah.
Speaker 1:Yesterday and he didn't know where he was. He didn't know where his friends were or what bar he was at. So I was like what's your address? We'll just call Uber for you. And he gives us this address. First off, he changed it. Oh yeah, I mean it took us a while just to get the numbers and the street name. The address is in Camino Island, it's like it's 159 uber uh-huh. And we were like okay, I thought you said you lived like 12 blocks away from here. Well, the math wasn't mathing, um. So then I was like okay, do you remember anyone's phone number? And he was like oh my, maybe my brother, my brother. I was like what's your brother's name? He gave me his name and then he started like typing in the phone number and it started with a zero and you kept like no, that can't be it.
Speaker 2:No, this is it. And he even said out loud zero, yeah.
Speaker 1:And you're like no, no, I was like it can't start with a zero. I can't maybe they do it differently on camino island dude I'm trying to help you right now and this is not working. So then I was like okay, you told me your brother's name, I'm gonna find him on instagram and then we'll call him through the instagram feature.
Speaker 2:Couldn't find him on instagram no, and you don't have it on your phone. No, so then we take the phone from him that he's trying to dial because it's mine and give it to you to try to find.
Speaker 1:No, he's not, he doesn't exist, no so then we finally get him up because we see like cop cars driving by and we're like okay, dude, either you need to get in the cop car and like go to a hospital, or you need to like get up and avoid being arrested. So, anyways, we walked with him to a street food stand, got him a bottle of water, he kept telling us I'm not gay, but I love curly hair.
Speaker 2:And there was this boy and I even apologized once for him. I said, hey, we don't really know this guy, we're just trying to help him out. I'm sorry, because he was almost falling into him. And then he's like oh, like it's okay few minutes pass, then he goes and does it again and we've invested time in this man and, like, we gave it the old college try. Yeah, we tried our best. We had no other options but to go to career bar yeah, without him.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So he was up and standing and doing a lot better and as I was partying and he was like saying that he's not gay, I was like, but remember tonight that two gay guys took care of you and made sure you didn't get arrested and got you water and vote.
Speaker 2:Kamala harris 2024 you sure the fuck did, yeah, and meanwhile, this is all next to wild rose and everyone in that line is looking at us. Oh yeah, because for one. He was attractive to falling everywhere yeah, he was attractive.
Speaker 1:And fucking caleb, it keeps like whispering don't kiss him. Don't kiss him when he set up, when he set up.
Speaker 2:he was very like he was looking for, like maybe it's because his mom was dying or whatever. Like that connecting, like I could tell, like he was going to like.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, I was not about to kiss him, okay.
Speaker 2:I felt like he was going to try. I was just letting oh okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, not that you're a shitty.
Speaker 2:You're not a shitty enough human Like hi? Stranger on the street.
Speaker 1:You mom died. Let's make out. Can you imagine you're toxic, but not that bad? Yeah, no, no, I'm not. Oh, that's not one of my toxic traits no, but um what were you?
Speaker 2:you were telling me upstairs um the psychology of something oh, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So that kind of um brought me to thinking about. At least what I woke up this morning thinking about was that most people walk by like there's probably hundreds of people on that street and walked by this dude and did not stop and check on him. And there's this theory in psychology that's called the bystander effect, and it was created in the 80s and researched in the 80s when this incident happened in New York. This woman her name was Kitty Genovese, I think is her name and she lived in this apartment building that had a courtyard in the middle, and so there's all these apartments in these high-rise buildings that look their windows face down into this courtyard, and she was raped in the courtyard.
Speaker 2:Okay, we didn't go all the way into this detail. My attention is caught.
Speaker 1:She was raped in the courtyard screaming for help, and people were looking down at this like act of violence and did nothing. Not only did she get raped, but then the attacker left.
Speaker 2:And got away.
Speaker 1:Came back hours later, raped her again and then killed her.
Speaker 2:I was not emotionally ready for that right now. Oh my God, wait, I'm feeling like shaky. I was not emotionally ready for that right now. Oh my God, wait, I'm feeling like shaky.
Speaker 1:I know. Okay, so this like horrific thing that happened made a lot of psychology researchers wonder why did no one do anything? You know, there's all these people like literally watching this thing happen, and what is it about humans that think that they don't need to act when another person is in need? And so basically, all this research found that when there is a dispersion of responsibility, everyone thinks that someone else is going to step in and do something.
Speaker 2:We're both so action oriented. They're like, yeah, we immediately try to take and I will all. I've done it many times if there's someone passed out like I will always stop to make sure they're okay. But I never thought of it like. I'm like oh, that is my responsibility as a human but like you're saying that most people like, like, not my problem, someone else is going to do it for sure.
Speaker 1:Take care of them right and, like you know, hundreds of people walked by this guy that's passed out in a bush and didn't do anything. And so, like you really have to be like aware of like these psychological phenomena that like affect all of us, that, unless you know about them, you know, you don't realize that like they're happening, you know all around us and that they do affect like the actions that we take or don't take, and so it's called the bystander effect, because people just assume that, like, they're bystanders and they don't need to take, you know, responsibility and that someone, someone else will step in and do the right thing, or that there's police or paramedics or whatever and it's their job to do it. But it's really like we, as a collective community, we need to be taking care of each other and all it takes is a phone call to get support to people who need it.
Speaker 2:So I want to touch on that real quick because if you think I'm in my brain getting enraged or pissed off, because, imagine someone's out here lighting fireworks. Every single human around is calling 9-1-1 instead of just being like oh I know, someone else is probably going to call yeah they're because it's interrupting their life. But even not even on the same wavelength, someone else's life is being interrupted or they're going through it or something bad is happening and they're like, oh, someone else will take care of it.
Speaker 1:Like that comparison I know it's kind of extreme one side to the other, but it's in a way similar well, it just makes me feel like people are selfish, like with that example, you know, it's like, oh well, when it's loud and something's affecting me, then I'm going to do something about it, but when it's someone passed out in a bush that needs help but that's not affecting me, then I'm just going to walk along. You know, on my way and I think that, like for me, I try to always stop and I felt really safe doing it with you because you're a nurse and if there was like a problem you would know what to do, right. But it doesn't always turn out like the way that it did last night, because I have been in like situations where I, you know, checked on someone that it was like a unhoused person and they were clearly like on something. And just to give everyone like a little bit of backstory, my brother has schizophrenia and so I've like grown up around like mental illness, so, like when I see someone who is in a state of mental unwellness, it's like my knee jerk reaction to like make sure that they're okay. Because I feel like there's this perception that people who are mentally like, have mental illness, are scary and violent and like that's not always the case.
Speaker 1:However, this one person that I'm talking about in particular outside of Azelle in the central district love me some azales fried chicken.
Speaker 1:Um, he was like on meth or something and he like started like running at me and started screaming at me and telling me that his um, that I slept with his wife and or something.
Speaker 1:And he was like you fuck my, you fuck my wife and literally chased me like out into the street and like the cars stopped on like Cherry and 23rd, so that I could pass, and this big black guy in this huge truck got out of his car in the middle of traffic to like yell at this crazy person that was chasing after me and when I turned my back, to like get away from him.
Speaker 1:I don't know if he like punched me in the back or kicked me in the back, but you know it doesn't always go well. So I'm just saying that as like a tale of caution that you don't always have to like be the person to check to make sure that the people around you are, you know, doing okay or like not going to die in a bush, but you can also step up when the circumstances are right and you have someone like caleb, who's a nurse who, like can support you in like making those decisions you know, and or you can do it from like afar and you can, you know, call a non-emergency hotline and explain what's going on. But the moral of the story is like you should do something take an action.
Speaker 1:Doesn't matter what it is, just do something and not think that someone else is going to do it, because chances are they're not. And that's why I bring up the you know story or a story and like talk about the bystander effect, because it's been proven, like in psychology, that people do not take action which is so crazy that I can understand.
Speaker 2:I could see that, but like I've never not felt the urge to just do something for someone like I even remember, like someone was vomiting at the concert we went to and I was like well, can someone get her a towel or this?
Speaker 2:so I went to the bar. But I went, I was at the cuff one time and this guy's vomiting on the patio and it's everyone's bitching because it's like getting on their shoes, and I take him to the bathroom, I help him get cleaned up and I bring like a handful of paper towels out to people. Yeah, I'm like hey, sorry, I think they were just really sick. They're like oh, is that your friend?
Speaker 2:I was like I don't know that person yeah but I always just felt like I just want to help take care of people, which it makes sense why I'm a nurse.
Speaker 1:But yeah, how do you feel that way? I don't know? You can also like, instead of rolling your eyes, you can also like, go to the bartender and be like, hey, can you like get someone to help?
Speaker 2:it doesn't show the best side of humanity when things like this happen. Like it made me feel, but it also made me feel really connected to you, because I was like you're such a good human and we both, like, were like, oh my god, yes, of course we'll do, instead of being like come on, leave him, leave him alone, let's go. We have this plan, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1:I mean, I was. I was about to be like okay, we can't like handle this, until he was like my mom died yesterday, and then I was like fuck, I'm like emotionally in now right, yeah, but kyle, do you know, like he probably doesn't remember us because he was, not at all, no way, yeah, it's so.
Speaker 2:I hope he remembers to vote for kamala harris right but it's so small moments that, like, make me just so happy to be alive, in a way of like being able just to connect with humans and take care of them and love on them, and like we're strangers.
Speaker 1:We'll probably never see that man again, but we were there to support him, like literally the day after the hardest day of his life yeah, that's what I wanted to say yes I feel like we started really light and then we got really heavy, but we'll bring it back around so then we are finally go into queer bar because we had gotten stamped finally went back into queer bar.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, and we get drinks and then we go to the dance floor and I'm shaking ass.
Speaker 1:Yes, you are.
Speaker 2:Throwing all kinds of ass. Yep, having the best time You're whacking, you're spinning, you're twirling. It is Bachelorette Central.
Speaker 1:We've done a couple lifts, yeah. Oh my God, that one was so fun when I did almost like a back bend to touch the ground and I was so confident and I was so calm, did I even ask you don't tell you not to drop me? You did one time yeah is it like the first?
Speaker 2:I think so. Then after that I was like oh, he got it, yeah, yeah he got it girl and I had on this cutesy top yeah, took off the sleeves. I was like couldn't be bothered. Then I was like, kyle, you still have your shirt on and I'll take off mine. But then you're like, okay, let's go. Or I'm like, okay, just give me a few more minutes. Like just to dance, 30 minutes probably, I'm still out there and then I come to find you um, where the wild things are.
Speaker 2:Guy he had there was this bison. Like what would you call it a hat?
Speaker 1:yeah, like uh toboggan was that what they're called? This toboggan is a sled. I don't we.
Speaker 2:I've been through this with these canadians around hereabagin's back home. That's what we called the knit headwear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a fur hat almost. Yeah, yeah with the ear coverings.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But this one was where the wild things are from that story with the little ears.
Speaker 2:Not the crown, though, the horns, not ears. Yeah, horns. Um, you're out there talking to him and there was something juicy that was going down.
Speaker 1:Oh, he just like said that he like intentionally followed me out to the patio and thought that I was really cute.
Speaker 2:And then I turned to him and I was like so what's the name of, like the guy in your group in the white shirt?
Speaker 1:that's really cute and I'm over here encouraging. I was like, oh, he's cute, go ahead. And you're like, no, caleb, no. And I'm like, do it. I'm not gonna make out with the guy in the where the wild things are toboggan, but he like it's, it's a little like it's so, like it's a touch of quirky, that like I'm yeah, I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what did you send me? I?
Speaker 1:know you, you love a um a frog, frog prince can I read this what it says?
Speaker 2:yes, absolutely. Where did you find this again?
Speaker 1:the daily scam.
Speaker 2:It's like my daily like email newsletter that I get with all of my fun facts so, whether you find it amusing or absolutely baffling, we're here to report that the bewildering internet trend of using animal kingdom as a mean to categorize men is still going strong. And while we were willing to get on board with eager-to-please golden retriever boyfriends not to be confused with Rottweiler boyfriends, German Shepherd boyfriends or Doberman- boyfriends we fear the animal classification has officially gone too far.
Speaker 2:Enter Caleb's type, enter the frog prince. Now to be clear, frog princes are neither amphibians or royals. Rather, according to one writer, they're sexy men with unusual features like wide-set eyes, goofy smiles a la Harry.
Speaker 1:Styles.
Speaker 2:Rami Malek Dominic Cooper. At first I was like, oh my God, how did that get in here? That's supposedly different, uh, from the aforementioned rodent men. But honestly, we can't attack uh, exactly tell you how. As far as we're concerned, all we see are squints, famous men.
Speaker 1:I don't get that like a little squint and emoji would have been helpful. Yeah, but I love the idea of it yeah you do love a little like yeah, weird, something weird. You know like really pretty, but something weird going on and like very specific, like skinny usually they're kind of like how tall?
Speaker 2:I don't have a tall. I don't have a height thing okay, taller than you, same or higher okay, usually I don't have a tall. I don't have a height thing Okay, taller than you, same or higher Okay, usually. I don't care if they're shorter than me.
Speaker 1:Remember I was like when we went to Queer Power I was like I just want to pick the tallest person in the club and make out with them, and then someone walked in that was like 6'6 or 6'7, but I was like what's it called? Like they almost had like giganticism is that?
Speaker 2:is that the word no, um, giant nope, like their human growth hormone is through the roof right yeah. So I was like no, maybe not I do like a disproportion a little bit yeah, you do yeah, okay, I'm there, I'm following, but was that man? Did you, didn't you retract your? Oh, I don't want. I want to make out with the tallest man because you're like, okay, he's the tallest, but not him Exactly. Yeah, you know what? I take it back, I take it back my goal, my storyline, my plot for the night is changing.
Speaker 1:It's my prerogative to change my mind as a woman.
Speaker 2:Prerog of it. All. Other than that, it was a pretty tame night, yeah, I mean, other than like the honey bucket and you running into someone you had slept with after a hannah montana when you were in a skirt. Um, my god, what a like to the point episode I know I love it.
Speaker 1:Okay, caleb, why don't you give us your victory advice of the week?
Speaker 2:okay, I on my paper here, victory, I'm gonna wing it okay. Well, let's just first say this past week has been a great week of us, like sharing and getting the news out about the podcast. Oh yeah, because you did so well about initiating conversation about it were and then people were like very inquisitive and so thursday which maybe that'll be my victory that we won the first round of playoffs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, our pickleball team won our first playoff match.
Speaker 2:So that means we go on to the next yeah, we go on to next week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can you believe it. I was so excited.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Literally after we got the match point, I jumped into Matt's arms and he caught me, thank God.
Speaker 2:Like you, just won Olympic gold.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely, and what I love is like and we were working for it.
Speaker 2:I, but you could just feel like everyone's intensity in the gym was like turned on A hundred percent. But it was also so nice that we got there kind of an hour. We got there an hour early because, accidentally and we got to watch everyone else play and you could just tell everyone's intensity was leveled up mm-hmm and it was like it was fun. Yeah, everyone was in it. Yeah, we were having fun, we were being competitive.
Speaker 1:But and just mingling, and I think the point that you were trying to make was that we went out to a bar after we won our playoff match and maybe because we were like riding the high of our playoff win, we were talking up the podcast a lot. Yeah, and we have a ton of new listeners. We do and people were following and interacting with the posts and stuff and thank you all for listening and continue to tune in, and for all of our new listeners out there.
Speaker 2:But you had mentioned to and I think it was like a funny joke, you had mentioned to the bald man there that we were like he asked like maybe like what did he ask? That caused you to say no, he was not in a good mood, so we couldn't record last night Like, did he ask? Like oh, when do you usually record? And were you like, oh, usually Wednesdays, but last night we didn't be like how did it?
Speaker 1:how did he forget how it came up?
Speaker 2:I, because then he was like you should share that, like if you're in a bad mood or whatever. I was like I, I told him, I said we really sat down and tried and I said, and I'm was so willing to share it, it just was so in the moment that I couldn't get to a storyline when we were recording wednesday you were just like in a bad headspace for whatever reason and kind of like in this.
Speaker 1:How would you describe it like?
Speaker 2:so doubt, almost, yeah because that's what we're going to try to do the topic on so, but I only mentioned thursday night. Well, my victory. But it also ties into him saying well, you should share that and which has been our. We've done this. The whole time on the podcast is like we give people a peek behind the curtains, not just like the you know, princess step version right, yeah and I knew I wanted to share.
Speaker 2:That's why I kept trying to record that night. But the reason I was in that headspace is we had a phenomenal like we were. We've been together like almost every single day for like the last few weeks I'm sick of you I know truly, um, but the weekend, but um, leading into this past week.
Speaker 2:So, like last weekend, into this past week, we had done a lot of podcast sharing, we had mingled with new friends, we were talking a lot about it, we were getting so much positive feedback that we were on this high. And then, come Wednesday, I woke up with so much self-doubt.
Speaker 1:Is this your vice now? Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:That's where it initially started. I was like, oh, my victory can just be pickleball vice now, yeah, okay, that's where it initially started I was like, oh, my victory can just be pickleball, yeah, so it ties all together.
Speaker 2:But I woke up with so much doubt and and I was sharing it with you, because you came home and you were still feeling like this, like excited to record, and all of these- things yeah and I just had this worst feeling of imposter syndrome, yeah, and I was like people were black and white, telling us how good it is and how much they're enjoying and how like I don't know, like it's great feedback we were getting.
Speaker 1:And then like you just kept telling me, like I just don't believe it, and I was like caleb you've gotten like all these like data points that are telling you one thing that people are are you know, they love you and they love your voice and they are loving our podcast and the phone case that you made me and you know all of these positive things, but for some reason you don't believe it yeah, and it was like I remember we were just sitting here and then, like it just brought on a whole nother wave of emotions about like everything.
Speaker 2:But it's so like perplexing my brain because you, you, you really did help that night.
Speaker 1:I told you like that's not helping, like sometimes but it did help because you know, you knowing better than you knowing better than me.
Speaker 2:Interesting okay um, but I'm glad thank you first off for being there for me, but I wanted just to share that I do appreciate all the positive feedback and and I and we want to hear from you. Yes, and it's, but it's, it is and I'm just being genuine, and I'm sure other people feel that way it's like oh, I don't believe, yeah, that I should be doing this or I have a voice, or that I am good at it, or people like me, or whatever.
Speaker 2:Um, so that's my advice is that I don't let the self-doubt creep in yeah, because nothing negative happened regarding the podcast, but it felt like I was attacking myself, as if someone external of the podcast was like this is shit, this is bullshit, you shouldn't be doing it. But it was all coming inside my brain, yeah, which is not great leading up to the crossover episode.
Speaker 1:We did record an episode where about this topic, about your vice, that we just kind of stopped recording because it just kind of got too heavy, but I feel like it's something that we could share eventually with listeners on a Patreon or something like that, if people are interested in hearing it.
Speaker 2:If people want to get in that hole with me, climb on in, girl.
Speaker 1:It's not fun and lighthearted and we don't laugh at all in it.
Speaker 2:So but I think that people can. That's where the people enjoy it, because they laugh, but then they also feel connected and seen, and heard yeah, hooking up in honey buckets, being in holes and self self-doubt, um, but yeah, so that's my vice. Is that that was a juicy one? It was pretty juicy. Yeah, so I'm, but we also won the first round of playoffs yeah so my victory advice complete check, check.
Speaker 1:Okay, my victory of the week is that we are planning a crossover episode with the no gays in montana, tyler and isaac are no gays in montana there are no gays in Montana, but I just say the no gays in Montana, referring to the two of them, ngim.
Speaker 1:Their podcast is there Are no Gays in Montana. Anyways, if you haven't listened to their podcast, listen to it. It's fabulous. Another gay duo, another gay duo, thank you, that talk about queer-related topics and they have a really strong voice. They have a lot to say and it's a different perspective than what we have.
Speaker 2:I think it's a bit more polished.
Speaker 1:Okay, you would think that it is Honestly it is you kind of have a similar voice?
Speaker 2:To what In some ways more polished and more thought out and more well-spoken. And then here I come with a cigarette like how y'all doing.
Speaker 1:I've just been thinking about self-doubt a lot lately.
Speaker 2:Have you ever just like hated yourself when you woke up? Yeah anyway, so keep going yeah.
Speaker 1:So I've just been like really like on this like creative juice train that's kind of come from the crossover that we is actually going to kind of come out in like two weeks, I think. Yeah, so stay tuned for that episode. We're really excited. And then my vice of the week is that I ran into my ex at your ex's, your ex's ex-husband's birthday party and it was actually like really great to see him and spend time with him and we were just like cracking jokes, like old times and having a lot of fun with you know a bunch of our mutual friends.
Speaker 2:But then, like later in the night, I kind of got like a a sad text from him and so I just felt like bad, that like your presence made him feel that way, like because you were your wonderful self, and he probably felt like god, I missed this or you know, and that brought, like you, did you, in your brain. Were you like, oh my god, it was so much fun, but, oh my god, I didn't. I didn't want him to feel like that. I didn't want him like you, almost like getting flipping in and out of the caretaker mode.
Speaker 2:What are you processing it?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna like pretend like I know what was going through his head. That's fair, you know. But I would agree with you that, like I, it's my advice because like it was hard for me to like show up in such a positive way and then have something negative come out of it. You know what I mean Cause. That's not what I wanted. Um, but we talked more about this on the crossover episode with the no gays in Montana, so you can tune in to that episode next week.
Speaker 2:That episode is going to be so juicy it is so juicy, it is so juicy. Yeah, and my. I think my opinion on open marriages changed because of it, absolutely like a smidgen.
Speaker 1:Yeah spoiler alert. We talk a lot about open relationships on the crossover opening legs, opening relationships. Yeah, sleeping with women uh-huh everything, yeah, so anyways, that's our podcast for today oh, my, this feels I'm so.
Speaker 2:First off, I'm so glad that we were both. I was like oh god, and you were like we got to record soon.
