[00:00:00] What's up? What's up? We did it. We we did it. We did. We, we did. We're doing it again. Yeah, man. This is Bro Hoa with Jonathan and Tom. I'm Jonathan. I'm Tom. And this is episode number 29. We are recording this on Tuesday, February 10th. Mm-hmm. Uh, and here we are. It's been a while. It's been a wa Well, it's not been a, it's not, it's not been too long since we tried to do this.

Yep. This is just real quick, real quick backstory because I know everyone loves our, our BTS, uh, uh, all of our behind the scenes. This is the, this is day two of trying to do this If, uh. We look a little different. Um, Tom's coming to us live from his phone. Uh, we just, we, we hit, we took a month off and everything, all of our tech decided to go crazy.

It hates us. It's, it's rebelling against us. It's rebelling. We did, we tried to record last night and my computer was like, no, you're not. You're not recording. No. Uh, so I'm in the same, it was having none of it. I'm in the same set, but it's just the camera angle's a little different maybe. Yeah. I don't know if I look better or worse, but this is what you got.

It's the hottest you ever looked. Thanks. This is the obvious You've ever looked, you really kept things up this last time. Stop. Thanks, man. That's a lie. I'll take it. [00:01:00] Thank you. It's uh, this is the worst time. The worst time. The worst time of year. Yeah. Welcome back to the worst time of year. Yeah, it is cold.

So cold. It's been, oh man. It's so cold. It's cold here in New York. It's cold everywhere. I guess actually, I just heard today that the west. Out west, it's too warm for their winter sports. They have slush for all of the snow, the snowshoeing and the cross country skiing and whatever. They don't have the snow for it.

We have it all here. Uh uh. So sad when ski people who love to ski can't ski. I feel so bad. Uh, life is hard.

Oh my God. What have you been up to since we've talked last time? Um, since we've talked, we talked last night. Oh no, let's, no, let's, let's, for the audience, we'll go back. So we talked a month ago. Um. Uh, I mean, now I even forgot what I even talked about last night. Nothing I've been doing. This is the, this is the whole world.

The whole city is hungover for this month. Uh, and it's quiet and gross because it's gross. And so everyone, I'm not, nothing. [00:02:00] I've been keeping kids alive. I've been staying alive. Um. Oh man, I wish I had something more fun to say. Yeah, it's alright. You know, Jen's birthday was recent, uh, so we celebrated that, but yeah, your birthday was recent, so talk about that.

You what? Can you, can you, can you go on record with it? It's, I can go on records with bits and pieces. Uh, it's a privilege to get older as my betroth reminds me. Uh, and I'm, I'm glad for that. Uh, 'cause I do, I am one of those people who like, doesn't love my birthday, but I'm, I'm trying to be better about it.

And this year was a really good one actually. We had a really good, we had a, I had a great weekend. It was a really nice birthday. Um, we went to Sheila, uh, that, that party. Yeah. Uh. Yeah, so it was super fun. And then we actually kept going and we went to another party. We were out very late. Uh uh, I had a magical meeting of someone that I thought I, someone who I only had a connection with.

The only way I, I didn't have his phone number and then he disabled his Instagram, but he came back into my life that night. Magically. It was a full moon. It was just like perfect. Yes. Oh, wow. Uh, just a friend, but someone I was glad to reconnect with. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Baseball. What a, what a birthday miracle.

It was, it was definitely a birthday miracle. So it was really [00:03:00] fun. And then, uh, qua made me some pasta, uh, for my birthday. A lamb ragu. That was delicious. Yeah. Ooh, wow. Okay. It was great. Nice. Um, we are watching industry. Have I told you about this Love? Tell me love. Is this with John Snow? He, he, the reason I started watching it is 'cause the new season just came out, so it's been.

It's the fourth season just came out and they've been promoting it. Oh, wow. Okay. And he's in it and he's like shirtless and having all this sex. So I was like, okay, we need to watch that show. Great. He's not in the first two seasons, but we're now. We're now on season three and he's in it and it's good.

It's crazy. Alright, cool. It's takes place in finance. Yeah. Is, yeah. Is it like a succession kind of thing or like a way It's the close, like the, it probably feels the most like succession compared to other things you've watched. Um Okay. Almost like succession meets euphoria in a really great way. Okay. Um, yeah.

Okay. So yeah. Alright, cool. That's, that's kind of what's been new with me. Really not, not much. Yeah. Yeah. Well that's good. I'm glad you had a good birthday, man. I, I'm. Uh. Um, uh, what else? I don't even know, man. We, it's last we left. We did. Oh, wait. We did this part. We did this part last night. I know. [00:04:00] Anyway, we were supposed to talk about the Super Bowl.

Let's talk about the Super Bowl. Yes. Let's talk about the Super Bowl. Did you watch it? Think that's where everything cropped out last night, right? We did. Was, anyway, it's. We did. Here we go. Here we go. We're here. We're live. Super Bowl. Yes. Yeah. Um, I watched it. Yes. Um, not that, I mean, I watched the game was on.

I didn't care about it too much. Um, it was kind of a boring game. I, I. I, okay. I watched the commercials and I'm kind of bummed because here's the thing that has happened in commercials and I'm, I dunno if you noticed this or not, and it's not an original thought, but, you know, super Bowl commercials used to be about funny, like, there was like a, you could, everyone sat down to watch them because they were giant production and.

People realized early on that if you make it funny, it can actually be a lower production and you can get a bigger bang for your buck. You don't have to do something crazy and spend all the money on like a car commercial. You can be funny about it. And that was awesome. And so there've been some really good commercials over the years.

And now it's just about how many celebrities you can cram into your 32nd spot. And I. Get it. Like I understand the need to have celebrities in commercials because like you see a fa like Matthew Broderick is doing well, I don't know, VRBO or whatever the fuck it is that he is out there doing. I don't know.

Then like there's no reason for him to be the sponsor of that thing, except for in your [00:05:00] mind it's like, oh, Ferris Bueller likes this thing. I probably like this thing too, so I get how it works. But it's just like every commercial was just like, here are. Between three and five mega celebrities. Like I, I don't know.

And they're not, they, it wasn't, I don't know. I was disappointed. Um, I did not understand, uh, in a single word that bad Bunny said, but I love the performance. I thought it was fun. I, uh, sadly and embarrassingly speak very little Spanish. Um, but I thought the, the show was cool. Uh, I clocked Pedro Pascal up on the porch dancing Gem was like, no way.

And I was like, it is. And then we looked it up and it was, um. You know, I enjoyed it. I like, um, I was looking for my, it was in a, I expected maybe it's just warmer out there. Uh, in San San Fran right now. I wanted more little, um, like more sial pouches that a lot of football players have. You know, like they have their little hand, their little hand warmer pouches.

Um, uh, but I, I didn't, I didn't clock as many as I wanted to out there. Um, I just, I always think those are funny. Um. What about you? Well, what about you and tell me that, did you watch? And then also tell me how, uh, how did you experience this? How did you watch it? What did you do for it? What were doing? We went to the fourth annual Jockstrap Super Bowl party.

There we go, uh, that my friends hosted and, uh, this is the fourth time we've done it. It sort of [00:06:00] the fourth annual jockstrap Super Bowl party started sort of innocuously. Four years ago. I was in Atlanta with some other friends, a lot of the same group, same friend group. And we were gonna randomly watch the, randomly watch the Super Bowl.

We realized it was on and we weren't, and we put it on and someone decided we should all just wear our jockstraps that we watched. So it was, um, it's fun. It, it was a great time. You all, you all in Atlanta. So on a trip y all, you all had your jock shops with you and you were like, we've got jock shop with us.

We should, you know. Well, two of two of my friends lived there in the house we were staying in. So there jock straps were present. Okay. So they had, yeah. And then they had homegrown jack shops. Uh, another friend of mine carries, um, a bag of them often when he travels, so there were bonus floating around.

Okay. Anyways, it was fun. Last night, or, or not last night, super Bowl Sunday, which was now two nights ago. It was very fun. Uh, we had a great time. The game was bad, but the coaches woof. Not even the, not even the main ones though. That Patriots coach is hot. Um, yeah. I need to be a fan of this. Yeah. But there's like bonus coaches in the background and on the, on the Patriot side, there was one guy on the [00:07:00] whole line that had like a red short sleeve polo on almost maroon.

Okay. Woof. Okay, woof. Every, we, we, I can't tell you how many times I made a. Pause and go back. So we could see the split second when he came into frame. Um, and we were joking about how we were the only, maybe the only TV in America that was freeze framing shots of the coaches and not the plays. Um, so that was my favorite part.

I, I thought that Bunny was amazing. I actually like, it was so moved at one part of it. Um. I thought it was just like a pretty powerful, which, do you remember which part? When he said, God bless America and then named all the countries in the America. So I thought that was just, yeah, that the end was, that was, I guess that's the part I understood there at the end.

But yeah, that was cool. You know, that couple got married. Yeah, like that. That was so cool. That was so fun. But I feel like I, I followed it, like I think I, I didn't know what he was saying, but for sure I followed like the themes he was getting at and the joy and I followed the love and I thought like.

Going into it. I knew he would, I knew it would be a reaction to ice. Um, but it was in the most, um, the best possible way in that he just [00:08:00] kept it positive and it, the reaction to ice was just like, the other way is love. It wasn't an even, like, it wasn't stop ice. It wasn't, it just didn't even acknowledge the horrific evil that half of our country seems obsessed with embracing.

It just, it just focused on the love and, and I just, I, I felt like, um. I almost felt like I, I, I mean, I don't want to, I don't even know if I, I should say this. Am I gonna like jinx it? I almost felt like the Super Bowl's like a weird, because. He wasn't, he wasn't programmed to be, uh, a voice against what's happening.

Right. That's not why they brought him in. They brought him in because he's one of the biggest, or if not the biggest artist or whatever. Yeah. Um, but it's gonna, I think we're gonna look back in a weirdly, it's gonna be this like metaphorical turn. I, I mean, I also though. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know.

But they had Green Day opening. Yeah. Who was like very, you know, like very anti what's going on. Yeah. Very rebellious. Like, I don't, the, the, the whole lineup was a little, like, I don't, I'm not gonna give the NFL uh, like credit for being progressive at all. That's not at all. But it was kind of an interesting lineup and it was like a pretty progressive, uh, you know, lineup across the board.

Um, which, I mean, [00:09:00] let's. Let's hope. Who knows? I, there's so much, like, I don't, I, I think that, uh, the people that needed to hear it didn't, you know, I think they were watching that. Imagine being one of those 5 million people up River Rat people turned to the other channel. Like, what do we know any of those people?

I'm dying to know if I know someone that turned to that channel. So it's just, just like, just like. I mean, kid Rock looks like a wet cigarette. He like, what a disgusting little person. Yeah. And there was so much like, 'cause you saw some same sex couples, some same, same sex couples in Bad Bunny's show, but you also saw the hottest women.

Yeah. Like the Latin American women of that show, the hottest women that exist on the planets were there. And then people were like, it was so gay. I'm glad I was watching Kid Rock in his cargo shorts. Like, this is like dude. Yeah. You're so, uh, so anyway, I, I agree with you that the love and the positivity came through and the celebration of it all.

Um, I did read today 'cause I couldn't understand it, but I read today that someone was saying that his intro to the Lady Gaga section was, he was saying like, is this what you want? Is this what you wanted? This is what you said you wanted, here's a white lady singing in English. Yeah, totally. But it was like so smart, so layered and, and not, not angry, controversial.

Just bringing the joy to all the, to bringing the joyous protest, [00:10:00] which was awesome. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, the game was boring, but, uh, the show, the halftime show was cool. Yeah. Yeah. I, I think we'll look back. I hope it feels like since we've last recorded, I mean, a lot's gone down, right? It's been like, um, where's, like, we talked about this the other day.

It's been Minnesota obviously has been crazy. Yeah. The Epstein files stuff, but it does feel like there's something of a. Turning happen. I don't want to jinx it or like get, but I don't know. I wonder if someday we'll look back at this Super Bowl as like this weird metaphorical, like the turning point.

'cause it, it just feels, something's changing, something's shifting. Um, people are waking up. You know, I think, I hope people, yeah, maybe. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I, I don't mean to cut you off, but No people No, no, go, go, go. People who I have in my life who I have been frustrated have been so shut down to what's going on are starting to like wake up.

Uh, people have surprised me. I've seen people post something about the Minnesota. Executions, people [00:11:00] posting little just Instagram stories about those that I did not know were paying attention, and I am, I can't help but hope that that's hopeful. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds hopeful. Um, I, I don't know that I've experienced that and the, the, uh, my, the people that around me, I've been still kind of frustrated with a lot of people around me, but I'm glad, I'm really glad to hear that, you know, that there's some, maybe some movement happening and maybe there's a ripple.

Maybe the ripple is starting and maybe someday this. Stupid ass bullshit. Like, uh, it's just also crazy. It's also crazy. Yeah. Um, um, but maybe, maybe this will be the, the boy I hate saying turning point. I hate saying that. It might be the turning point. Walk to the base. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. They really, man, they hijacked that.

That's a, that's a good phrase to use. They hijacked that. They hijacked the flag. Yeah, they hijacked. Oh, I, I hate it so much. Um, anyway, uh. What else? Oh, uh, other sports that we left off from a month ago is that we were talking about watching heated rivalry, and we did, we did it. Jen and I sat down. Okay. And we, we did it.

Okay. Tell me, um, yeah, I mean, it was hot there, there were hot guys being hot. It was a little like, uh. This is just kinda like a blanket statement that you just have to [00:12:00] accept about it and just has to exist. It's like Ted Lasso or like Schitt's Creek. It's like this is gonna be a, a very positive perspective of people, a very clean and like almost saccharine and like a very optimistic view of people because like.

Even the one guy who like finally outed himself in front of everyone, I gotta tell you, that is not how a New York Ranger would get a reaction. That is not how that would go in, in real life, like in a sponsor or two is the question we're having here. There was none of the like actual, there would be dirty, angry, bad tension.

There would be, there would be more problems there. That would be, it would be layered with more toxicity coming at that. But I'm also okay with like. We're not showing the NHL, we're showing this other version of the NHL where it's gotta be under wraps, but it's not the same, it's not as dangerous. We're we're acknowledging that it's dangerous.

We're acknowledging that it has to be this thing that has to be navigated, but it's a safer, cleaner version. Everyone here is going to be a safer, cleaner version of that thing. And you know, like that. It's [00:13:00] just like Ted Lasso, which I, I enjoy. It's like dessert and it kind of, it is like, all right, cool.

Yeah, we're doing like, uh, we're doing a nice version of it. Uh, I like, I mean, it was hot. It was, you know, it, I, I don't know what else to say. I enjoyed it. It was fun. Um, I don't, no part of it I thought blew me away as like new television except for the content itself and being, you know, mainstream coming through that way, which was great.

Um. Uh, I, I, yeah. I don't think I have any hot takes, especially a month later. Yeah. Yeah. But even though I don't have any lukewarm bro, homo takes, but yeah, it was worth, it was totally worth watching. It was fun. I love it. It was fun to watch. I love it. I, uh, when I first started it, like the first episode for sure, I was kind of like, Ugh, I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Um, but I just like, it just got better and better every episode. And I think that structure is a bit on purpose. Um, and the creator is like, gone. On in interviews to like, you know, point out that the story of it is that it starts, it starts with lust and they're slowly falling in love. Um, and so that structure, you feel that when you're watching it, um, in a, in a way that's so satisfying.

And like I, to me, those last two episodes in particular are just like some pretty special. Pieces of television. Yeah. Um, and the last episode in particular, I mean, obviously [00:14:00] episode five, where the moment on the ice is like the, um, the, the, the pinnacle of the whole se the whole series, like it builds to that moment.

Yeah. Um, and so that's pretty, it's a pretty incredible emotional moment. But the last episode to me, I almost felt like it was a forehand or play and it was so subtle and it was so, um, subtextual and I thought the last. Conversation with the parents at the dinner table was, had no business being written as well as it was, or acted as well as it was.

I, I couldn't believe what those two guys were doing in that scene. It was all so subtle, but it was all, it, it was like layered throughout, like, you know, Hollander, he, he kind of played him a little bit like autistic the whole time and I think like, on the spectrum and, um, yeah, you could see that, um, IA, like at one point reaching his.

The, the way he comforted him was the way you would comfort someone like that. And they had just like really built to, I just like all paid off in that lap episode. And as a gay man, like there's been gay TV before, but we're so primed to expect exactly what you were talking about. The, the, the hate and the, you know, [00:15:00] I you, that's that, that I started this show and I expected one of them to get beat up at one point.

That's what we are, that's what we're told happens to gay men or you get aids. Um, and none of those things happened. We just got to have a romance. Yeah. That was so good, so satisfying and maybe a reason, I don't know. People are really responding to it, not just gay people, which is pretty, pretty cool. Yeah.

Yeah. I think that's a, like, and I, yeah, it's not a, it's not a uh uh, um. Knock on the show, like the hockey, everything about it was like, uh, the not easy version of it, but the, the safer, cleaner version. Like even, not even just the, the sexual, uh, the not gay or straight involved in hockey, but like, even the way, I mean, he gets hurt, but still like the way that the hockey comes into it and we kind of jump around through it, which is like, cool.

I, I don't mind that. It's just like, it's. Some, like, my brain takes a minute to get ready for like, oh, we're watching a show about professional hockey. Kind of that is the outline to it. Just like Ted Lasso is an outline of soccer. You kind of know that there's soccer happening, but Yeah. And the games, the score of the game can matter, but like, it's not, yeah, it's, you know, um, and I, I enjoy that.

Just like, uh, it's kind of a, a recalibration, which I think is like. [00:16:00] Probably like, just like Ted Lasso was at the time when it was coming out. Like a good thing for the brain. It's a good like, like kind of reset pallet cleanser. 'cause I think I was coming in like a little gloves up because everything is like all, everything sucks, everything is hard.

Let's get ready for hard stuff. Yeah. It's exactly what we need right now. No. Cool. I mean, the fact that this show came out during Trump's second term is, I think, says so much about. Um, what people really want or a reaction to what's happening. Yeah. Um, I'm so glad you guys watched it. That's great. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It was fun. It was some, it was some hot and heavy sex. Yeah. Um. And they, that was one of the things that they like, uh, were pretty, uh, uh, detailed about the process of which I was also, uh, Jen and I were talking about, like, is the, so we see a lot more straight sex, obviously. So then it's like, is it, is it, is it going further or is it just 'cause we're not used to seeing two men together?

Then I was like, I'm not sure that there's been a lot of, like, I haven't watched a lot of television unless it was like directed in that kind of, if it was a, you know, hb it's not, it's not porn, it's HBO kind of way, uh, to be this specific thing like. I don't know that I watch a lot of like legis, like straight people figuring out the sex part of it, like the actual physiological sex parts of it, you know?

Um, but that's also not usually as [00:17:00] much of a conversation, I think, in the straight world. So like does, you know, those guys figuring out how it was gonna work and what they were going to do and how he was gonna do it, and if he was ready for it, you know, like all of those kinds of things. I, I, it was like.

Detailed in process, but it wasn't too much. I didn't think it was, I didn't think it was like, I was wondering how, like, I, I didn't expect it to get graphic because of the nature of the whole show, but I was wondering how far they were gonna take that and it seemed like they did a good job of navigating that too.

Yeah. It was like giving a lot of details to you understand the process and like what these guys are dealing with and going through without, you know, I guess, I'm sure there's plenty of, and systemic homophobia that even people who don't feel that, don't think that they're homophobic or watching it and being like, Ew, this is too much for me.

You know, but like, it's. It's not, it's, I thought it was hot. I mean, that, that take from straight people about this show or really about anything gay, I think is so absurd. I think it just, uh, to hear that take come out of a, a man's mouth in particular, I just immediately think, okay, you're closeted because it like that, it's just such a, a homophobic, um.

I've, I've spent my entire life. I can't tell you how much [00:18:00] straight s*x I've seen in literally every movie and TV show I've ever watched. Yeah, for sure. For sure, for sure. It's been shoved down my f**king throat since I was a kid. For sure. Straight men can shut the f**k up and watch six episodes with a little bit of light, you know?

For sure. And I think about like Game of Thrones had way more graphic stuff. Well, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Like there is Absolutely, there's like. Premium television with, there's also corn rampant, obviously. Sure. But like there is Sure. When you hit a level of like they're, when they put the s*x scene in, they're f**king putting a corn scene in.

Yeah. 'cause that's what they're gonna, it's HBO or whatever it is. Yeah. You know, they're gonna do that. Um, and this like, wasn't at that level 'cause it wasn't, it wasn't, uh, uh, uh, nudity, it wasn't, you know, it wasn't graphic. Yeah. Uh, but it was, it was like soft core to the extent that you're gonna do soft core For sure.

You know? Um. And I, I enjoyed the fact that they're like, uh, it was one of the parts where they like, these guys have to, it is a process to figure out how this is going to work for you. You know? So I'm glad they put that part in there. Yeah. Like, and I guess they do that too. Like there are, there are virgin women all [00:19:00] the time figuring out how their bodies are gonna have sex, you know, whatever.

So like, um, I guess it's not even that different even in that way. Sure. Uh, and I thought it was a good, again, like a. You know, the safe version of it. But I, but I think that's okay. It's okay to feel safe in getting through this experience, watching these things and feeling like, okay, but we're also in a safe, they're not gonna get so crazy.

No one's gonna get hurt, hurt right now. No one's gonna get whatever, you know, like, it's not gonna be psychologically damaging for all of us right now. It's not Game of Thrones. We don't have to like. Gi, our loins for whatever comes next. Um, even in the, the process and the fumbling of things and the figuring it out and the, you know, the whatever, the ups and downs and the, it, it was, uh, it was a safe, it felt safe to watch all the way through.

Yeah. And, and it was moving. I loved it. Yeah. It was very, it was very moving by the end. Good. Yeah. I, uh, I think it's interesting that you point out that process part that they show. 'cause I, to me, part of that is like the story too. Like so much of that is like a power dynamic. Yeah. And you're negotiating when you're with someone new, you're, and they're trying to figure out what their dynamic is.

Yeah. And then as [00:20:00] like as it extended over years and it was like, what are we, are we. Just fuck bugs. Do we have feelings? It all played into it in a way that I, I think is part of the storytelling. Um, yeah, I agree. I thought that was, I thought, I thought that they, they used that to then Yeah. Continue the story and let that be a part of the storytelling.

Yeah. Let that dynamic be one of the dynamics that was gonna get messed, you know, that was gonna be an active dynamic throughout, um, uh. Is that a ki what, where in general, I don't know if, whatever, when does that question come up with, uh, in, in, uh, gay relations? Like, is it a, is it a right of way thing?

Like is it like if you are, if you're expecting that, if you were hoping to have sex with someone and like that negotiation, does it happen typically? I don't know how, I dunno how, if there's a typical, uh, ing of this, but like, when do you get down to the details of like. Can we do this? Does this, is this, are we into the same or do we, are we, are we into who's, who's talking compatible are into compatible things here?

Yeah. Yeah. Um, it happens in different ways. [00:21:00] I mean, um, sometimes, sometimes, I don't know. I don't wanna qualify like the best times. Like they're all the best. Um, some, sometimes it's just like instinctual. Yeah. Like it really truly is. Yeah. Um, and, and it's like pheromones and it's just like, both parties know what both parties are about to get into and it doesn't even need to be talked about.

Yeah. I think that happens often. Uh, maybe not for everybody, but I love when that happens. Sometimes it's not clear. Um, and then, I mean, you know, apps are such a big thing now and meeting on apps. Yeah. So some of that stuff is just right in the profile for people now. Cool. Yeah. So, um, but if it's not in the profile, some, 'cause some people can be coy about it, then it will often come up in discussions and people might straight up ask you.

Yeah. Um, but I've also had people straight up ask me like within a couple minutes of meeting at a bar or a party and it's like, okay, here we go. We're going right into it. Um, I don't know. I kind of like, I enjoy [00:22:00] the mystery of it and I enjoy the seeing what's gonna happen, but I also like, enjoy both sides of things.

Yeah. Yeah. So to me it sort of doesn't necessarily matter. Yeah. Um, but I, some people are very much like, if you're not gonna gimme exactly what I want, then I don't wanna waste any more time with you. I find that off putting. But that is a thing you find in the gay, gay community. Um. Jen and I were talking about recently, 'cause I was talking about, uh, I brought up power bottoms again.

We hadn't talked about it in a while. Uh, and we're appropriately coming. Full circle. Yeah. Yeah. It been a minute. Uh, and we were talking about like yeah, that, that, that, that, that was the question I was like, I think that obviously if it's. If it's verse to verse and there's, there are, you know, like, I think that's easier to, I clearly that's easier to figure out, you know?

But I wasn't really sure how, if you're, if you're not, if you're, if you are a one, if you're either a top or a bottom, like, you know, I wasn't really sure when you realized, oh, we're two tops talking to each other. This is not gonna, we're not gonna have sex. You know? Yeah. I, I [00:23:00] dunno how that works. How you, how you figure that out or how you deal with that once it comes up.

Yeah. I mean, sometimes it does mean okay, bye. Like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I'll show you sometimes. Cool. All right. Alright. Well it's, it's very appropriate that, um, power bottoming came. Yeah. Full circle. Full circle. Um, we should, we should update the audience on what's going on. I guess. We, we should, yes. I know it's sad.

I know. I'm just avoiding, avoiding, avoiding. But yeah, we should. Do you wanna do it or do you want me to do it? Uh, do you wanna do it? No, then I'll do it. Okay. I don't want to either, but I'll do it. Uh, so this is our final episode of Bro Homo. Uh, we'll no longer, uh, be recording a podcast. Uh, so this is gonna be it.

We wanted to do one more. That's why we've been gone for a month is to figure out how to, uh, say goodbye to all of you, um, and say thank you for being here with us. Um. It's got harder once it got real. Um, um, we are gonna spend the next few [00:24:00] minutes, I think talking about, not specifically why, but like, what's going on, why that is the, why that is the case, and why we, um, why this is best for our lives and our friendship.

Uh, but. The bottom line is yes, this will be, um, you know, unless Vox or NPR or whoever else calls and says, please don't stop. We're gonna pay you so much money. We're gonna fix all the problems you have. We'll figure it out. Barring that for the foreseeable future. Uh, just gonna leave every door, possible door open that I can, but barring any of that, uh, this will be our final.

Bro Homo episode. Yeah, it's a, it's a lot of feelings. Um, basically we had, right after the holidays, we had like a, a check-in. We hadn't really checked in about the podcast and what direction we were going in in a while. Um, and. Through that process, I think we both realized we maybe wanted different things from the podcast.

Um, and so that was not, [00:25:00] um, an easy conversation and I think we both sort of agreed. Tell me if I'm putting, you know, putting the wrong words into your mouth, but I felt like we both maybe agreed it'd be better for our friendship to not try to force this thing that we weren't total in, in total agreement on.

Um, and so. That's why we have decided, does that sum it up, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It, it, we, I, we realized, I think we hadn't real, and I think that, and for me, it, it kind of like, I don't know, helped it, it, it, some things got some really, some, some things that we disagree about that, that we saw differently.

That we wanted differently, that were kind of big, big buckets of, you know, goals, um, were differently. Yeah. They weren't aligned and it. Uh, I mean, frankly it caused a lot of tension in that moment, and it was kind of like, you know, it was a, a bigger fight than we usually have, and that to me was like, well, then the answer is we're not gonna do this.

Like, we, like, I don't want [00:26:00] that to be a and it wasn't like we had a fight and answered all those questions. It was like we had a fight and those questions still all existed. So I, as much as I love being here and I love doing this, it was a pretty easy choice to say, well that's, I don't want to risk that.

I don't wanna do that again. I don't want to do that. Over and over again. I don't want to, uh, the, the, if the problem is this, then this has to go and Yeah. Uh, you know, that was one of the things that we've said to each other all along, and that was one of the promises. Yeah. I think we even said it in the first episode.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, it's a bummer because I think that. I think that we are aligned on so much and it's just some of like the the, and even if, you know, if in some kind of slow paced way we figure out that we can align, sure. But like right now it was kind of like once things got really tense and things got hard for our friendship, it was kind of a no brainer for me to say, this has gotta go then.

'cause this is the problem. So then as much as I love this and I do love it and I love being here with you, I love having this with you. I. Would rather, there's no [00:27:00] question to me that I'd rather have you than have this. And so For sure, a hundred percent. Yeah. I, I agree. Um, yeah, I also think like, um, and, and I have loved this too.

Um, a lot of it, um, I'm very proud of it. Um, but I, it it's been, it's a lot of work. Like we have been working our ass. Off since June. Um, and so that to me was part of the calculus too, of, um, yeah. Yeah. And like, like I this even fucking this week, like we come back to do it more. Totally. It's such a fucking pain in the dick, dude.

And we're, we're just recording now though. Like the work is not done yet. Yeah, yeah. Um, I feel like since June I. Have really sort of how, how, how do I say this? I don't want this to come across the wrong way. I wanna say, let me say, and then I'm gonna explain since this past past June, a little part of me has sort of really hated Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

It's just like I, Sunday night would roll around and I would be like, oh, here I go. 'cause I knew I was about to have three really long days because we both have to work for a living to make money. [00:28:00] Yeah. And so this was a passion project on top of that. And so it made my days like just. But in yours too, not just mine.

It made our days early in the week extra, extra long. I would be so proud of it when it came out Thursday. Um, and you know, I, I am we, we, we went really hard for many weeks without a break. Yeah, yeah. Um, and I'm really proud of, proud of us for doing that and sticking to it. Um, and like, I don't know, I have like some thoughts I wanted to share, um, if, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, I, like, I, I, um. I feel like I've been trying to process my feelings 'cause we've sort of known this for a couple weeks now. We're just now recording. Yeah. Um, which I think is good. I think we needed the space to come back and record this. Um, I definitely am feeling so many emotions, pride.

Pride is one of them. Definitely. I'm sad that this is ending. I, I am, um, I won't miss the work, but I'm really sad that it's ending. Um, I'm happy to have some of that time back. Um, but, uh, and, and there's a little part of me that's relieved. [00:29:00] Um, I don't really think I ever really got comfortable with. Like, uh, you know, I, we, we, we made these clips to sell the podcast on Instagram or on socials, whatever.

Um, and I never got used to seeing my face come across social media. Um, it made me sick to my stomach every time. It's just like not something that I am meant to be one of the people that does. Um, and I wish that, that were different. Um, and I, uh. The, I mean, you know, don't get me wrong, there were a couple clips that came out that I was like, okay, that's kind of funny.

Like, but just like as a general thing, I really, it dis it never stopped disconcerting me. I'd go to open up my Instagram just to kill time at the subway platform and I'd be like, ah, like, why am I right there? Um, I hated that. Um, and then I hated. I also sort of, and this is all like, I haven't shared any of this with you.

This is all new since we met early in January. Um, I hated, [00:30:00] um. I hated chasing the I I, okay. I loved hearing from people that they liked the show. Obviously that was like one of the most exciting things about doing this, and I liked when, as much as I hated those clips we posted, I liked when people reacted to them.

Yeah. But then I hated the feeling I had when we would post the clip again. That didn't get those likes. Yeah. I hate, I hated that. I put myself through that. Yeah. I, I hated. Experiencing what that is like. Um, it didn't, it didn't make me feel good, and I'm going to be relieved to not have, because it was, it was a weird dichotomy of like, I even, I hate that my face is there, but why aren't you liking it?

Yeah. You know, and like, I, it's just like, I'm not meant, I don't need that in my life. I got enough that I'm trying to like, just get through the day. Yeah. Feeling, feeling like a person with my shit together. That I'm, I'm relieved to not have that. I also kind of feel like, um, I didn't like I. We used to joke about this.

We knew this a long time and we, we joked about it, which I think kept, kept it healthy, [00:31:00] but I didn't like that. I kept things from you so that I could tell them to you on the podcast. Yeah. Like that fucked up our friendship in a weird way. Yeah. I, I think because we joked about it, it kept it healthy and it did make the podcast better for us to hear things for the first time.

Like I think we were smart to do it, but I'm glad that we don't have to do that anymore. Yeah. Um, and kind coming up with content every week was like, yeah. Hard. Yeah. I don't know how people do it. Yeah. I mean maybe people that do it for a living don't have to work a day job on top of it. Yeah. But it's hard to think like, what am I gonna say that's gonna be funny or interesting and like, um, I also, just as a final thing, like I'm really, you know, how scared I was to put myself out there this way.

I told you a million times and I was also like a basket case throughout it, um, because of that fear, um, and the fear of being judged. So I'm really proud of myself for. Doing it, um, uh, with how scared I was of it, but I also sort of look back and think like, maybe I'm like not really meant to be a podcaster.

Like I don't really think I [00:32:00] was that good at it. So, um, I don't know. Um, I can say I did it, but I don't know if the world, I don't know if it's a great loss for the world that I won't be podcasting. I don't know, man. Um, I stand by one of my. In intentions originally was to get your voice out there, uh, against your will.

Um, I, 'cause I think it, I think that you have a lot of opinions that matter and that I think you have a good way of putting things and you're a good storyteller and you, uh, are passionate about the things that you feel, and we don't always agree on those things. But I do like that you are passionate about it and I think that's, I like getting that out there.

But yeah, I. That's, it's like one of the doors that I'll leave a little bit open. Yes. If we had like a producer and you know, like if we like the time, the working a full-time job and having, like having any part of your life having kids. Totally. And then, you know, it would then Monday, like you said, Monday through Thursday is Monday through Wednesday is getting it ready and then there's a couple days turnaround to get content [00:33:00] for the next one.

And I like was always feeling Yeah. Under-prepared. And then I'd feel like I'd get on here and I know I ramble a lot because sometimes, like, I don't fucking know what I'm gonna say. Like, I don't, I didn't even get, I didn't get a polished thing together. I don't know, you know, like I, and it's, it's one thing, you know, I have a presence on social media, but it's very different like that.

I, whatever I, when I come and I, I know that I deeply know the feeling you're talking about, about like not wanting to. To feel so much of yourself in the thing you put out there, you know? And it's like I, on one hand, I can convince myself that it's like the professional side of me. It's the entertainer.

It's the academic side of like, well, this is, I'm looking for ratings. I'm looking for where it fits. I'm trying to find the way that I can do something. But also it's like it. Inevitably becomes a part of a judgment on your character, a judgment on yourself. You know, like it's, I hate that part too. And it's not even like, I would rather someone watch a clip of ours and say like, that's trash.

You guys suck than three people watch it. I, you know, it's like that, it's like when it's out there and no one [00:34:00] cares and it's like me, like what a, it just feels like, it feels like we're yelling into the void for real, you know? Um, and I. Yeah. Even with things that we, we see differently and we have different goals, I still like, if it were easier to do, I think it, a lot of those things would be different.

Yeah. But they're not. And you know, the truth is like, and yes, maybe if it weren't so, uh, uh, risky for our friendship, you know, you could muscle through, you could do it. We both, man, we fucking both know how to grind a low paying entertainment job. You know, like a performance an an artistic endeavor. For $0 is like our wheelhouse.

Yeah. Tell me about it. Yeah. But it's almost like, man, that was a, that's a young man's game. I'm not sure that I could do that anymore. Just grind out for like, just the passion of it, you know? Yeah. Um, especially with so many other responsibilities and so much other life and, and all of those things.

Would've been, I, I, I do think that all those things added to the tension Hundred percent. Yeah. Coming into Monday and both of us being like, oh, fucking, okay, [00:35:00] here we go. And then, yeah, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, still having to be like, okay, fucking, here we go. Let's get this part done. Yeah. You know? Um, led led to some of that like, uh.

You know, it the, not even, I, I don't know. I, who knows? I dunno. Fucking know. I think we played pretty well on air. People seem to like enjoy us here, but it's the rest of it. I think that's kind of what it started to be for me, like you said, and it's true. We would hold things to tell on the podcast and then like, our friendship was kind of all this, like, we talked about it every time we were together, out, we talked about the podcast.

Yeah. Yeah. It was terrible. Yeah. We didn't, we didn't, yeah. Yeah. We saved everything for here. And then in real life, we only talked about the podcast and it was like, uh, yeah, that kind of sucks. That's not, that's not what our friendship is. That's not what I wanna do. And then we'd save all the friendship stuff for the podcast, which is great, except for then I'm underprepared and I feel stressed about doing the things that we do, the things that I like doing.

Yeah. It was a weird meta fucked up meta version of our friendship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, yeah, I agree. That all added to it like, yeah. Yeah, I mean there were a couple times we record because we, we recorded on Monday nights usually. [00:36:00] Mm-hmm. Because we wanted to release on Thursday and the way our lives work.

That was, and we also, I think, agreed early on that like the weekends didn't make sense 'cause we both might be traveling and Yeah. But there were a couple times where we recorded on a weekend because of other schedule conflicts and there were like maybe three or four times we recorded where I remember going into the recording being excited to do it.

But I would say. A good majority of the rest of them, it would be the end of the day of a Monday, which Mondays always suck at work anyways. Yeah. And like, uh, it's not that I wasn't excited to do it, but it was also like a Sure, no, it was itt and that's what it like, it like, somehow, somehow we got to the point where it was doing the wrong thing.

Like I, you know, there are friends, friends have podcasts and podcasters can be friends and there's plenty of that out there. And I think that like, at its best, what you're, what you're seeing is the relationship of friends and I think like. That. Come in. Come in. It's my, my dinner being delivered, but I don't want to eat on air.

On air. Well, it's the final one. At least have [00:37:00] him come say hi. Oh man. Come say hi. We, I, every week I've been trying to get this man to walk through the background. We've gotta, he's gotta do it before Jonathan wants you to make an appearance. We're recording still. No, we're not. I don't want my food. But he wants you.

Yes, yes, yes. What's going on? There he is. This is the finale we deserve. This is,

oh, man, okay. Shoo my,

I miss you too, Quan. I never see you anymore either, man. I miss you. He misses you too. Oh. Um. Oh yeah, like the, the friendship in real life and on the podcast I feel like took a, a hit because of the stress of the rest of it. Adding, like it was all, yeah, let's get the thing done and then it, you know, it took some of the, yeah, it.

The joy was there to do it. I always got in the, I always got to the place where talking to you like being here felt good. There was always a fun during it. It would always be a time when I got to it being fun during it. Totally. But yeah, like [00:38:00] yeah. Often starting on the Monday night would be like, it would be like doing a show in a church basement for a mat now on a sun, a Saturday or Sunday when you're already like hung over inside.

Like, I don't fucking have this. I don't, yeah. Yeah. I'll find it. 'cause it's what we do, but I don't have it. Yeah. And I, you know, I. Again, all of those things. If, if any of them could be taken off of our plate, whatever, if there was a different way to do it, we could. I think there's maybe, I also think that like tensions are just so high everywhere right now, like mm-hmm.

You know, we. There. I, I can certainly say there are better ways to handle conflict resolution than I did in that, in those discussions, like when the tensions were high. Like it's just like tensions are fucking high, and I don't have any better excuse than that. Like it's fucking, yeah. Everything is right on edge and it's a powder keg.

I know. It is. Yeah. And it's like, so it's so evident to me when even with my best friend, it's like, I can pop all the way off. It's like things are, yeah, things are right on the edge. Yeah, they are. Um, but we, I don't think we totally. I, I don't know if, if this is [00:39:00] what you meant earlier, but if it, if it was, I don't think we totally were screaming into the void.

Yeah. 'cause we did have like, um, sort of like this loyal little base. Yeah. That was like, um, I didn't mean that, and I don't, I definitely want to express my gratitude to the bro homies. I just mean like when a. When a, when a clip would fall short and it's like, oh, oh yeah, yeah. Nobody cares. You know? Totally like, just that single feeling of like, oh, this is masturbatory and nobody's watching this.

When it, you know, when it doesn't do what, when one does really well, and then the next one is like, you know, that feeling sucks. It just, I don't, the feeling sucks and I don't want to feel like that. I don't want to be that attached to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I also, a hundred percent, I do wanna absolutely.

However many. Few or many does not matter that there were people listening and there are people that check in, uh, and that people have asked since for the past month, people have said where we've, where have you been? Where, yeah. Yeah. That's, so, that feels good. So it means a lot. Yeah. The bro homies, the bro homies are, uh, pretty special.

And you guys meant a lot to us. Yeah. And, and like everybody who ever said anything to me about it, um, whether you're my mom who's now [00:40:00] watched every episode. Wow. She's, she's now caught up just in time to be over, um, to my aunt, to, you know, friends from high school and, uh, so many people who like continually, um, my friend Jeff continually went out of their way to tell me that they were listening and, and, and not just that they were listening, but like dialogue with me about what we were talking about.

Yeah. How many people told me. Um. They're, who would you fights? I have so many I've been collecting. Who would you fights from? Everybody. Yeah. Um, I, I do. And like, you know, a couple times in, in public people would say something to me and like I do, that's one of those things that's like a double-edged sword though, where like, I hated that.

I liked that. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But I did it mean, it meant a lot to me, but then I was like, you know, I don't know. Yeah. I, I'm not meant to be in the public eye. Um, but I don't know, like I, um, I, I feel like you know this and I talked about it in the first episode, like one of the reasons. I got motivated to start this with you was in direct [00:41:00] response to the election and, um, and feeling so frustrated with how much people were tuning out and they didn't care about what was happening.

And, and, and really like, loved ones of mine, a lot of really close people, family and friends who just were giving up on the news and paying attention and it scared the shit outta me. And these, a lot of these people have children and, and I, you know, that was really motivated me. Because we had talked for so long about doing something and mm-hmm.

And then I was like, okay. And I didn't know where to put the feelings I was having. And so I was grateful to have a place to try to put that. And I know we didn't change the world, but I'm, I'm glad we dialogued about things we dialogued about and yeah, I think, I think more people need to do that. I'm, I'm personally of the mind, like we always hear this thing, don't talk about politics at the dinner table.

And I have come to the conclusion that, that is fucking wrong if we can't talk about, that's what got is here. If we can't talk about politics with the people we're closest with, we're fucked. Yeah. If we can't try to change the minds of our parents, or our brother, or our sister, [00:42:00] or our cousins or our best friends, how are we gonna change a stranger's mind?

Like I know it's hard, but I think that's where the changes are gonna start is like we, we need to. Things are bad right now and we all know it and people need to start talking about it. Yeah. It'll make all the difference. And there's still a fucking genocide in Gaza that we're all paying for, and I don't want us to forget that.

Uh, it's, that's not over. We're we, we like to pretend right now that that's over 'cause a bunch of other terrible things are happening, but there's not, it's not over. Yeah. Those are my parting thoughts. What do you have parting, parting thoughts? Um, uh, I think we kind of touched on most of them. Um, I think that for me.

One of the early things that we've, that we've talked about from the beginning. Was, I think, and I like, no, I can own this. 'cause it sounds, I don't know, self-aggrandizing or grandiose or whatever, uh, to like even try to act like this. But I think that our relationship is special and I think that it is worth people seeing.

And I think kind of in the same way that [00:43:00] like, you know, it's very important for you to get these things, like, you want to get these things out, you want them to be talked about. You want to make sure that the idea of talking to people is out, is out there and, and being informed is out there. I think that the idea of like being able to love another adult and be loved by another adult that is not your romantic partner is important.

And I think that for sure, no one's doing. I mean, not that no one's doing it, but there's a, there's a dearth of that in the world right now. Um, you know, and I, I know that everyone wants to play their tiny violin for a male loneliness epidemic, which I get 'cause lonely men suck. And they're like, but one of the things is like, they're not letting themselves be loved by other men in a safe way, in a kind way.

And I think that, um, you know, we do, we do that. I love you. Yeah. And, uh, I love you in a real way, you know, and to, to the extent that this fun thing that we're doing, if it gets in the way of our friendship, then we have to stop doing the fun thing. Yeah. Um, so that I feel, I agree. I feel good about that. I agree.

That is something to feel good about and like that was one of the reasons we did this. And yeah. I feel good about that too, for sure. Um, you know what, [00:44:00] it's time for. Mm. I do. I think you should sing it this time. I've done every single time You want me to Do you think you, yeah. You're okay with that? I want, I want to, I want to hear you give it a shot.

You wanna hear me? Give it a shot? Yeah. Yeah. This like the. In in memoriam. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, that one, who would you fight? Who would you fight? Powow. Wow. It was percussive. Yeah. It was a little bit of a alternate melody, but it was still an homage to the original melody. I liked it. I wanted, yeah. Thanks man.

Man, I liked it. Two thumbs up. Thank you. Thank you. That means a lot. Do you wanna, do you wanna go first or should I Uh, yeah, I'll go first. Um, I, I've been traveling some. So this one, this one was really apropos recently. I wanna fight anyone who stands right the f**k up against the carousel at baggage claim.

Back up. You stupid. Son of a b***h Like, what's the point? Look for your suitcase when it comes around. Step up and get it. I hit everyone I can. If you're up by the, if you're up close, I don't even say, excuse me, I bump through you and I take my bag and Turn around [00:45:00] and clock you in the nuts with it if I can.

I hate when people stand close to the carousel. What's an allowable distance? Uh, I don't know. Two, like two or three feet, like step. I think that the, I think that airports should have a, a three foot. Color band around, which no one's gonna f**king like, it's not official, but just put it there and see what happens.

Yeah. Just see if the sheep will do it, because it would help, it spreads out the, the, the circumference spreads out. We get more space. You can get to your bag easier. And also what the, what are you doing? What, what's it gonna help you? I hate it so much. Yeah. Yeah. It's, that's a good one. I agree with that one.

Mine is, um, I, I, I've been wanting to do this one. I, um, I really hate on. In TV and movies when people throw up, when they hug the toilet bowl and their hands and their arms are hugging the bowl, and I'm talking about scenes that take place in a public restroom. Do you like in a school. What am I wrong?

Have you ever hugged a [00:46:00] toilet bowl when you No. In my own house, I'm still like in own house. I've been dying. Dying. And someone like, yeah, and you don't touch the toilet bowl. No one does that. If anyone does that, they're, they're sick in the head. Yeah. The germs, you already have germs that you're throwing up.

There's already something wrong with you and it takes me out, but it's every, it's already something wrong with you. It's in every TV and film. I do feel like, I do feel like vomit has gotten better in a lot of things, like the way like. Vomit. You should be like, you're like, all right, but now it's like a little bit like, oh, that's, that seems real.

It's too much. But the toilet bowls. The toilet bowls are, uh, takes me outta too. Mark my watch. Every time you see someone, especially if they're like hungover or whatever, or they're pregnant, like we're watching the pit right now, we're, we're watching the pit. There's a pregnant nurse. She goes in the bathroom and she's throwing up 'cause of morning sickness.

A nurse. A nurse in an emergency room in pi, emergency room in a Pittsburgh emergency room. No, no. It's sad. There are scenes in that show where people just smell so bad they have to shut everything down. No one's hugging the toilet in that show. No, no. It's so bad. I don't know [00:47:00] why directors let that happen.

And it's just disgusting. Those are that I feel really good about those fundamentals, don't we? Strong on those? That's good. Um, you know, something, something we you never did is you, you promised you'd take your shirt off on the show and you never walked. And I feel like as one last.
