I cannot sleep.
SPEAKER_03I cannot dream dream tonight.
SPEAKER_02That's a talent I recently discovered that I can sing any song like a and I'm not joking. Like a late 2000s grunge band. Go ahead, give me any song.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Sing high school musical, start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you. That was kind of good. But I think you should roll the you.
SPEAKER_02Yo.
SPEAKER_01Uh and now looking in your ass.
SPEAKER_02That's not a grunge band.
SPEAKER_01Feel him. I know I just like that.
SPEAKER_02Okay, when I got home, I checked who did I check somebody's location and then I saw you were in Manhattan. I was like, what are you what's going on? Because I think Isabella dipped.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she lived. Yeah, I I am very easily persuaded sometimes. So what did you do last year?
SPEAKER_02Should we start the pod first?
SPEAKER_01I started it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Welcome back to another episode of Are Weirding. I'm your host, Sid.
SPEAKER_02I am Grayson.
SPEAKER_01And this is Are We Blooding.
SPEAKER_02This is Are We beginning the podcast or not?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I sometimes I forget because I also want it to feel natural.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. No, it's very natural to forget that we're on camera. That's really good. I love wasting our audience's time.
SPEAKER_01Nothing's better than that one guy who sent a message and he was like, This is uh an attention economy. Like, you guys can't just keep babbling on these podcasts. I'm like, that is literally what the podcast is for. Right. I'm like, this isn't a true crime podcast guy.
SPEAKER_02It could be. Speaking of last night true crime. We murdered people on the dance floor.
SPEAKER_01Murder on the dance floor.
SPEAKER_02See, I can do it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I love that movie Saulburn. That's what that's what the song's from mine. That's what they made it for. So we went out last night for our friend Lauren's birthday, and um Grayson was like, Oh, like I wanna come, I wanna come. And then I was like, okay, fine, let me ask the birthday girl. And then he literally was like, Okay, well, like, are there pretty girls there? I'm sorry. This isn't about you. It was about Lauren's birthday.
SPEAKER_02Okay. I thought last weekend was about Lauren's birthday.
SPEAKER_01No, you made that up. That was a different kind of party.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01It was a divorce party.
SPEAKER_02Okay, gotcha. And we're keeping that in.
SPEAKER_01And uh celebrate divorce parties with your friends. Yeah. Even if they weren't married.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. No, I I here's the thing, okay? I'm there obviously to celebrate a friend, but at this point, Sid and I have established if I'm going to flirt with somebody, it's not gonna be within our friend group. Because that's just how things not again. That's how things go wrong. So um I was just like, hey, is there are there gonna be Hella Finishotis at the place, you know?
SPEAKER_01Yep. Yeah, so just like that. And I was like, You're so rude. I hate you, don't come. And then he showed up.
SPEAKER_02And then I showed up. She did, she did tell me literally, I'm not talking Didn't you say like I'm done talking to you or something? Yeah, let me go back through the messages.
SPEAKER_01And then you showed up, and I was like, whatever.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And then I just I made everybody's night, per usual. I'm so I put the mask back on for everybody else's entertainment, and I was like, that's fine. I can just be who I have to be for these people in order to entertain. Oh, you said done with you, you're rude.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And then I showed up anyways.
SPEAKER_01Grayson just fed me a really yummy cold dish of noodles, eggs, and meat.
SPEAKER_02And so that's the that's the revised version. Can I tell you how it actually played out? She barged into my apartment and goes, Where's the snacks? And I go, Oh, I didn't realize I was living in a 15-year-old's apartment. And she goes through all of the cabinets, looking at the looking at my box mac and cheese, and she goes, Do you have anything? And I say, I have leftover homemade hamburger helper.
SPEAKER_01You didn't say hamburger helper, you said I have a high protein dish.
SPEAKER_02Because it's high in protein and it's healthy, goodles, eggs.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, talk about a 15-year-old's apartment.
SPEAKER_02Beef. What's I for some reason I was like ground beef. Beef. Couldn't think of the other thing. So it was most she took three bites. I was like, hey, you can warm that up if you want. And she goes, No, I just want three bites.
SPEAKER_01He doesn't have a microwave that works as well.
SPEAKER_02No, but I do have an air fryer and tin foil that operates the same way.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay, mister.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So anyway, so we're now we're done fighting, and that was it. Also, I really like this juice. I like this juice. It looks like the red stuff that the blood that was in the styrofoam cup that they fed Bella when she was about to give birth. Did you see you didn't see all the toilets?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01What?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01Ow. Ow. Yeah, that was great. That was nuts. Um, wait, you have to watch them. This like oh wait, you want to hear a funny story?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so my mom historically like loves Twilight. She why'd you look at your watch?
SPEAKER_02Because I don't know if we took track of when we started, and we don't have Isabella. Isabella is absent for the city.
SPEAKER_01We take track on here, but I'm also scared the battery's gonna die. It has like a little bar. So let's just talk really fast.
SPEAKER_02One thing about Sid is her methodology for prepping is that she doesn't.
SPEAKER_01So there's a lot for a bitch.
SPEAKER_02She's like, hey, I need you to charge the she left her stuff here because we're gonna use this bedroom as a podcast recording studio until I get a mattress, which could be never. And she goes, Hey, I need you to plug in the camera batteries. I go, I aye, Captain. So I go to the bag, turned it upside down, spin it inside out, and charger's not there. And I go, hey, charger's not here. And she goes, Okay, that's fine. There should be two batteries. Can you see it? Which one has more battery? One is dead, and the other has 9%.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but isn't it kind of like one of the quirky things that you love about me?
SPEAKER_02As a business partner, no.
SPEAKER_01First of all, are we really business partners if we got no business?
SPEAKER_02Too sure.
SPEAKER_01Grayson's like the opposite, which is really annoying for someone like me, because he's just always upset with you. Like, I feel like half of our texts are me saying that I'm sorry that I forgot to do something a certain way.
SPEAKER_02And me very passive aggressively being like, hey, maybe we should like plan the podcast a little bit better.
SPEAKER_01You do a really good job though at saying we instead of like you.
SPEAKER_02I'm also to blame.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Because I don't do any of the editing. So, like, once this is recorded, it's out of my hands, and uh that's not fair to you.
SPEAKER_01Or really podcast prep. My favorite is when we start talking, and you're like, so what do you want to talk about? I'm like, oh, right. I also handle the agenda. Look, this is wait, this is how caller daddy. I have a lot of things on the agenda. I have a recap of our time together. No, we're still doing it.
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_01I have I want to talk about um I want to go through each other's DMs together.
SPEAKER_02And I, in order to prep, put on my Instagram story. What are everybody's hot takes?
SPEAKER_01When we're gonna talk about your hot takes that you've shared. We love when you guys share stuff and w we love talking about on here.
SPEAKER_02We also love when you like, share, subscribe, give us five stars. We always like to do it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, if you do like it, if you we're trying to get picked.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Uppies to the brands. We're going Uppies wait, please. Remember when we went to Deluxe Flux? Did you know that whole story about Lauren getting picked up by our other friend? No. Who's sort of she hasn't really been coming around too much. But basically, Lauren, we were all like talking, and Lauren was like, Yeah, I had a weird night. Like, I got picked up, and we were like, Oh, you know, like she got hit on, like, she got picked up by a guy or something. She's like, No, I got physically picked up and held to the DJ booth like an offering by this one friend of ours, and she was like, She wouldn't put me down in something about that. And this friend is like very tall, and Lauren is like she's she's like average height, and I just thought that that was like the funniest visual of her, like struggle.
SPEAKER_02And we're flying, we're flying, okay. We're gonna be able to do that.
SPEAKER_01Imagine someone picking you up on the dance floor and just not physically putting you down, but um, anyway, yeah, you need to watch all the twilights. Um, I was gonna say when I was a kid, my mom really loved it, and she She loved the Twilight movie? She loved all the Twilight movies and would make us watch them over and over and over again. And we um when we didn't have electricity, we had this little tablet that you could just watch um like one movie on on a DVD, and we would just watch Twilight. And so it was winter time, so we would go into my mom's room because it was second floor, it was just like, you know, it's warmer up there, and we would all cuddle up together and we would watch Twilight.
SPEAKER_02And one of you goes, Hey mom, when's the next next time you're playing uh the damn?
SPEAKER_01I like that that whole time. All you were thinking about was a way you could like roast my family, and then you couldn't even pull through.
SPEAKER_02Well, no, I was gonna say, um, I was trying to remember what the like Philly uh con ed is. What's it called? Pico, that's right, pico. Pico de gallo. Pico. Um one of you guys is gonna be like, Mom, did you ever pay that Pico bill? And she's gonna go, Team Edward or Team Jacob.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. That's basically what happened. Like, actually. My dad, though, he knew how to go into the ground and like turn the electricity back on illegally. So he would always do that. And then you'd be like, keep going. Get so mad. I was like, Papa. But I mean, we didn't care, right? Right. Because then we could charge the tablet to watch more twilight. So awesome. Um, we also at this really might die. So if if it cuts out, I'm sorry, everybody. Well, I'll make Grayson go across the street and get batteries.
SPEAKER_02When I was doing a uh brisk pat down of your backpack to look for the charger, I did see there is one double A battery that we could replace.
SPEAKER_01I think that was I know that this isn't gonna come to a surprise, but I think that one's dead. And do you know what's funny is there was two of them in there, and I only threw one of them away, and I kept the other one just like for an emergency. I don't even know what for, because it's dead. Also, what are you really supposed to do with batteries anyway?
SPEAKER_02Recycle them.
SPEAKER_01In a recycling bin?
SPEAKER_02Uh yeah, some some places.
SPEAKER_01No, but like that's what I'm saying. I don't think anybody knows true battery etiquette. Where do they go?
SPEAKER_02Segway.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_02Uh should we get into the DMs?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, let's do it. I have to get my phone.
SPEAKER_02Oh, do you want to get your phone and I can pull up my DMs? Yeah. I was hoping you would get it. Oh, here's a fun one. Were you at Bar Louise celebrating a friend's birthday last night?
SPEAKER_01I'm scared. I don't like that.
SPEAKER_02Um there was another one when I got home that was, hey, I saw you outside of Chow Chow, and I was gonna come up to you, but I was too afraid to say it.
SPEAKER_01Aww. Wait, did someone come up to you at Chow Chow?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01A girl, a female woman?
SPEAKER_02No, that was last time we were there.
SPEAKER_01No, I think it was again last night.
SPEAKER_02Somebody came up to me?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02What did I say?
SPEAKER_01You were just not speaking. No, I think you were like trying to riz her or something.
SPEAKER_02That does not sound like me at all.
SPEAKER_01Well, you I you're trying to risk, it's just you like being awkward and weird. So I I but you I think you were talking to somebody. Also, that place was weird for the second time. Yeah, why did why do we keep going back? I don't know. I d what I loved most about it was that we just hung out in that corner and it was literally where people were walking through.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And I didn't like that. Yeah. Because I I couldn't shake any tail.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, there's not a whole lot of tail shaking to begin with. There was not many feathers being ruffled on the dance floor.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. People are just standing there doing the side by side, like the sidestep. Yeah, like the and actually first, I want to talk about how much I can't stand club culture in New York before we read these.
SPEAKER_02Sorry, go ahead. What do you prefer club culture to be in New York then?
SPEAKER_01I just think it needs to be abolished. Got to this second club, which name whose name I don't remember, sorry.
SPEAKER_02It wasn't After Chow Chow. I thought you went back to Deluxe Flux.
SPEAKER_01No, I wish. That's where we went. Deluxe Flux is where dreams come true, but it wasn't there.
SPEAKER_02That's where the stripper was?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the last time. Yeah. Um, where you showed up, shook tail for literally five minutes and left up in a backpack. Okay, guys.
SPEAKER_02So technical schmifficulties for you.
SPEAKER_01So basically what happened was my batteries died. Right in the middle of me calling Grayson a school shooter. Yes.
SPEAKER_02So if foreshadowing is Hey, rumble Rumble still skins over there.
SPEAKER_01Stop flumping around with the mic. I can't. Okay, hold on. Maybe I'll turn this down a little. Testing one, two, three, testing one, two, three. Test one, two, three. People really liked our intro of that last one. The one where we were like, test them one, two, three, test them one, two, three, uh, test them one, two, three, test them, because they were like that intro goes hard. And then people were like, I shouldn't have to go to the back of the back.
SPEAKER_02So there was one comment?
SPEAKER_01No, I think there was two. And we see and we see you.
SPEAKER_02And we hear you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Like, share, subscribe, give us five stars, leave a comment, share, send so that ple guys, please like, comment, subscribe so that way someone will want to work with us so I can buy more batteries. Yeah. Okay, so now uh Grace and I are gonna do a new segment called DM Time.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, one of them is were you at Bar Louise celebrating a friend's birthday last night? I know exactly, I know exactly who sent this to. She was at the table two tables away from us, remember? As we were leaving. So they were two. I'm pretty sure she was.
SPEAKER_01Do you know that couple? Oh, is that who it was? The woman on the date? Yep. That makes sense because she kept looking over and pointing over, but I thought she just thought we were annoying. Which also could have been true.
SPEAKER_02That could very well could have been true, yes. So do you want to read the ones that uh make me feel horrible about myself, or do you want to read the ones that are like, oh, this is actually kind of nice?
SPEAKER_01Um, surprise me.
SPEAKER_02You're gonna be a big star.
SPEAKER_01That one's nice, right? I wanted to physically read it myself. Oh, okay. Well here, go ahead.
SPEAKER_02So these are from the same person. So these are from the same person. One of them is you're gonna be a big star. You wanna go ahead and read the other one out loud?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the other message is you're gonna kiss these lips then, suck it nice and good. Wait with the tongue sticking emoji and thumbs up emoji. You'll love my dick, it's prettier than me. Thick, average, and beautiful. Now suck this cum, bitch.
SPEAKER_02I have to- And then go ahead and read the second one again for me.
SPEAKER_01You're gonna be a big star. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02Alright.
SPEAKER_01Wait, holy shit. I'm scared.
SPEAKER_02No, he would leave stuff all the time. This guy, this gentleman.
SPEAKER_01I'm keeping it low stakes first. This was like just one of them in there.
SPEAKER_02You are absolutely gorgeous. You should definitely have the will to live, shine like you're meant to. That's kind of nice, actually. That's actually kind of nice.
SPEAKER_01Isn't that like such a funny thing? Like, I'm like, you know what, before I didn't have the will to lip, but then but then this guy messaged me this, and now suddenly I do.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Can I read this one? Yeah. Okay. This because it I came up with a whole bit for it. This may be a shot in the dark, but I've been following you on TikTok and Instagram for a while now and just started listening to your podcast.
SPEAKER_03Oh, thank you.
SPEAKER_02As a fellow podcaster, I'm trying to connect with others to build a following and would love a chance to connect. My podcast is so overworked and disregul like dysregulated on Spotify, and it'd mean the world to me if you would check it out if you ever see this message. Anyways, love your content. Can't wait to see more from you soon. Blocked. I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_01That's the bit you had prepared.
SPEAKER_02That was the whole bit. It's just one word. Yep.
SPEAKER_01That's awesome. Um, okay, I'll read this one then from that guy got sent to me. I'm glad we're doing this for some.
SPEAKER_02So we start we started with I'm gonna read my friend's DMs. Now it's we're reading our own DMs.
SPEAKER_01Okay, no, actually, I still want you to read mine.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_02I want a private video chat with you right now.
SPEAKER_01So this is what I love about this this DM.
SPEAKER_02Do you want me to read the timestamp?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Saturday, 7 54 AM.
SPEAKER_01Like, this is just crazy to me, because in what world this is a private account, by the way. In what world am I just gonna be like, alright. Actually, let's do it.
SPEAKER_02Honestly, that's I feel like that's something I would do.
SPEAKER_01To a stranger that doesn't even have a a real profile pick, it's just actually, maybe I should. It's a go fund me, actually, for a pit bull, it looks like. Put it down. Keep Dozer from being put down euthanized.
SPEAKER_02What did Dozer do?
SPEAKER_01Okay, what did he do? Why is he on the chopping block? Oh my god. Oh no, I'm like, he doesn't even have a profile pick, it's just a go fund me of a pit bull that's gonna be euthanized. Now I feel like a dick. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Um that's kind of all the DMs. I d I delete my DMs constantly.
SPEAKER_01So Okay, well, I have this one on here. Um, this guy's okay, wait. This is my last one. I want you to read this one.
SPEAKER_02Okay. My god, what a beautiful face. So unbelievably beautiful. Sydney, my wife is well.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Alright.
SPEAKER_02Sydney, my wife is well aware of what I post or is posted. She says, whatever trips your trigger. However, in the 21 years I have been married, I have never physically I've never physically touched another woman. I guess I am just a pervert, huh? If I make a compliment about you or any other woman, I guess you could say I have a problem, though, and should keep all compliments to myself.
SPEAKER_01A bunch of explanation points, right?
SPEAKER_02Wait, this guy has all the time.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Well, that's what happens. So it started becoming a bit, and I was like, listen, I'm gonna message your wife Lisa, like if you don't stop, and he's like, and then so sometimes he'll like uh I think he he might block me or something for a second, then he'll follow me again because he gets scared I'm gonna message her. But it's really so crazy. I'm always like, okay, I'm gonna message your wife, and he's like, she knows I do this. And I'm like, then you have a weird ass relationship.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it is. I mean, I like that he said in the 21 years of being married, he's never touched another woman. That's like he's like a you know, kind of sweet, sensitive guy. Damn, it's like really coming out, coming down, coming down right now.
SPEAKER_01I don't want to go outside today.
SPEAKER_02Why not?
SPEAKER_01Because it's wet out there. Oh, do you think we could just sing and watch a movie? This is his last picture. It's him, his wife, and his kid. I know they all look the same. They look identical. That's him.
SPEAKER_02So wait, he looks like really young for his age, I feel like.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so I'm not really sure what's going on. It's just a bunch of pictures of his kid.
SPEAKER_02He has like a baby face as a 900-year-old man.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, that's that. Um did you have any other fun ones or is that it? You delete your DMs?
SPEAKER_02I literally every day, like multiple times a day. Because I'd be getting shit about this guy wants to put his big fat juicy wiener in my mouth.
SPEAKER_01And that actually, wait, my favorite part was when he emphasized that it was average.
SPEAKER_02I know, that's like, okay, humble king. Nice. He's like, it's not gonna be a lot for you to lower your expectations, but you're gonna enjoy it.
SPEAKER_01Well, have you heard of boyfriend dick?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01Did we talk about this before?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01Can you ask can you guess what it is?
SPEAKER_02Uh is it when you're with somebody for so long that he kind of just like stops caring and the the wiener itself just kind of stops working?
SPEAKER_01Wow, no, it's actually kind of the opposite. So boyfriend dick is like the it's like the right size dick that like feels good without it being too much. When people say, every time I edit these podcasts on YouTube, it's like public, made for kids, not made for kids. I'm like, absolutely keep this away from children. Um, but yeah, so it basically it's like a real it's like good old reliable.
SPEAKER_02Gotcha. So like it's and I've heard this more than once in my life. No, it's the big ones that like hurt like stuff like that. Actually, actually, I prefer this size because the big ones hurt.
SPEAKER_00They've said that to you?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I've heard that a couple times. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's like just uh you can think that. Those are inside thoughts. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02One would hope.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it's true. I actually recently met a guy who has such a gigantic schlong that he actually has a hard time having a relationship. I d I heard this through a friend, not from him. She was like, No, it's ridiculous. Like he actually has a really hard time has uh keeping a girlfriend because it hurts them so bad. And she's like, it's just as bad as a micro penis, and maybe not super usable.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but there's some people out there that are like into that. They're like they fetish that. Like some women fetishise like a very large penis.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And speaking of speaking of big dicks, all right, so at the club last night, these guys were such assholes. So it costs this is news to me$200 per man to get into this club, and that was on the low end initially. So it was us girls, four of us, and two guys. Are you thinking of a joke? No, and then they asked us to uh pay a thousand at first, and we're like, no. So then they were like, okay, what about 200 per person? And Lauren is like, she's like schmoozing them, she's like, guys, listen, come on, like it's my birthday, blah blah blah, and she's going after they told me specifically not to talk. They were like, so don't say anything. I I have gotten my friends into the club on two different occasions by doing rock, paper, scissors with bouncer. Try it.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01And I got us in. So I'm just saying, and then when we got in, they paid the guys paid$200 a pop.
SPEAKER_02Whoa.
SPEAKER_01Ridiculous. I felt so bad.
SPEAKER_02That was amazing. Screaming by the city.
SPEAKER_01I was like, guys, we can go anywhere deluxe, anywhere, delux flux, like whatever you guys are feeling.
SPEAKER_03Deluxe flux.
SPEAKER_01Deluxe flux. And um, yeah, so we ended up going to this club. It was so stupid, and not actually no, it was fun because we were with each other, but just the atmosphere when you think about the demographic of men that are there that are paying that much. And I've seen women complain about club culture, but it literally was just all of these tables with a bunch of dudes sitting around them, all dudes. There was like maybe five women and standing in the center of the dance floor, and all these guys just like watching them from these seats. It was so it was so creepy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so two things. One, how much do you think they would charge me? Do you think they would go low, like two hundred? They'd be like, maybe 450.
SPEAKER_01I feel like they'd make you probably buy a bottle for like 1K. No, I'm just kidding. No, I think if you were with us, I don't know. I don't know if it was like a ratio thing. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Or if it was like a beauty standard. They took one look at it, the group and they're like, that's a thing that they do.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. No, I know. It's disgusting. Yeah. And and I and I will never understand. Like, I hate standing in lines. Like when we were standing in line, I'm like, what are we doing? Yeah. We can go to so many different places.
SPEAKER_02There was a line for this place?
SPEAKER_01For this place, we were stand there was a line and we were standing outside waiting because like this was$200 per guy with an in. Like we had an in.
SPEAKER_02That's I think the other thing I was going to say is I think guys go to those places more because they're like, oh, it's exclusive. We have to have money to be here. Women will be into that. Or because women are free to get in, there's gonna be they they go in with the mindset of being like, oh, there's gonna be more women, but really it's just the what I forget mob mentality of people being like, Oh, if we go because we have to charge like we have to pay to get in, there's gonna be more women, and then that causes all the guys to be like, Oh, let's all go.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. Yeah, it was and and again think about the type of men that are buying those. It's it's like it uh the sane, cool, attractive, funny men that I know are not there, they're not at those clubs.
SPEAKER_02But they were last night when you guys paid to get in. The two fellas that went the two fellas. Yeah, the boys.
SPEAKER_01I love them so much. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02How were you guys there till? Because you we we left Chow Chow at like 12 30.
SPEAKER_01I was out until like three. I know, brother. I know. But we were having so much I had more fun in the car on the way there. We were playing throwbacks, we were throwing ass in the car.
SPEAKER_02Much different just juxtaposed to the Uber we took to Chow Chow where I fell asleep and you and you and Isabella just kept talking.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you did you actually fall asleep sleep? So, anyway, that's our take on New York club culture. This is why more people are just having like maybe also it's a recession indicator, more people are just doing fun drink game nights in, but I will take that a million times over.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's definitely a recession indicator when people aren't willing to pay$200 to go to a club.
SPEAKER_01That's just crazy. And then I saw I was like watching TikToks about it because I'm like, Am I the only one that feels this way? And there were girls that were like, What's with all you old people at the clubs? Like, I I wanna go there and have a good time, and there's people there that are 30, and I was like Sweetheart, those are the only people that got money these days. That's exactly that was that was the first comment. I was like, I wouldn't even think of that.
SPEAKER_02So anywho the only issue I have with club culture, and this is more of like a it's it's more of like a uh projection, is like I'm so scared to talk to women at places like this because I don't want to ruin their night. Like I hear I hear like I see clips on TikTok of people being like, I was at the club dancing, or like a video of like some girl just at a bar or something, and some like drunk guy comes up to her and is like, oh, you know, whatever. My fear is that that is how I'm perceived. It's like if I see a pretty girl that I like and I go up to her and talk to her, it's literally she's gonna like it'll ruin her night.
SPEAKER_01No, I think women, depending, like I think there's an appropriate way to approach women, and then if you get the vibe they're not into it, like back up. But I I do think women still want to be approached, they just don't want to be just not by an ugly fuggo. Just if you're an ugly No, but like I I've had men approach me that I'm not physically attracted and and I still am I can men that have approached me and been like hey blah blah and just sort of had one quick interaction, kind of gauged I wasn't into it, and then pissed off. I've been like, wait, come back.
SPEAKER_02Come back to me.
SPEAKER_01Like, wait, I want another drink.
SPEAKER_02No, I don't let me take 18 bucks out of your wallet, come on.
SPEAKER_01Um, I I am like anti-letting men buy me drinks because I am scared that they're gonna think I owe the drink.
SPEAKER_02Oh, tell that to my wallet. No, I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_01You're so annoying, bro. Um also you owe me 20 bucks. No, I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_02Um anyway, I do owe you from last night. I also owe Brandon. I need to get his Venmo. Yeah, brief aside, this is the moment where we forget we're podcasting.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I just I think I honestly drop a comment if I owe you money. I probably do.
SPEAKER_02Tag somebody, send this to somebody who owes you money.
SPEAKER_01If I owe you money, please let me know. Um hot takes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, do you want to do hot takes or do you want me to go over my story?
SPEAKER_01You choose. I want to hear your story. It's probably so good.
SPEAKER_02Don't love the way you said that. Okay, um Grayson, tell me your story. So my night didn't end when I came back, actually. Yeah. So as I got out of my Uber downstairs, like to like come into my apartment, the people across from me on their roof go, Grayson. Just can just wait. They go, Grayson, it's him, Grayson. So I look up, I and I was like, There's no way they're talking to me. That I'm that that's literally seven, eight stories up. And I was about to like, I was like trying to hustle in, and they were like, No, wait, wait, wait, Grayson. And I like I was like, Alright, I'm just gonna embrace this. I turn around, like maybe 15 people up on the roof, like staring over the edge, like calling down to me. And they're like, Come up, come party with us. It's a birthday, there's a birthday. And what? Literally, everything inside of me was like, please, please tell me that they don't recognize me from this far away. This is one of the few moments where I was like, damn, this sometimes bidding like getting recognized is a nightmare, and they were super nice. So I went up, I literally went there. Like, oh hell yeah.
SPEAKER_01Did you have any time?
SPEAKER_02I I honestly had one drink. I met like a I met like 16 people at once. I had one drink, and then we just kind of like shot the shit for 15 minutes and then I came back. But like they came down, they let me up. I went up to the roof. It was some girl's birthday, and she was like, I'm sorry, I I recognized you, and I was like, from all the way the fuck over here.
SPEAKER_01It's your fuck ass airline.
SPEAKER_02Literally, I was like, Oh my god, they can see that I'm all in.
SPEAKER_01This is crazy. Also, it is a little bit scary.
SPEAKER_02It's incredibly frightening.
SPEAKER_01But I'm thinking just the fact now that they do know where you live.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01And they've definitely probably seen you naked in your windows.
SPEAKER_02Oh, 100%. That was my next thought. I was like, I definitely walk around in my underwear in my apartment. They were like, so like which which floor are you on?
SPEAKER_01And I was like, uh I would not want to say that. Wait, that's like a kind of a crazy follow-up. They already know the building now. They're like, which floor? And they're like, and what numbers next to the floor? By the way.
SPEAKER_02Uh so to be fair, uh, now the people across from me know that I live here, and the people in the building who they were also up on this roof, and then they the other roof convinced them to go over. So I met a couple people who were living in this apartment too.
SPEAKER_01Um there's a roof deck on in this place. Is there a gym?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01I wish I would have to do it.
SPEAKER_02I learned that there's a bicycle room, but they have it closed and locked away. Oh no bicycle.
SPEAKER_01Wait, that is so crazy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so I I people know where I live now.
SPEAKER_00That's also scary.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, very scary.
SPEAKER_01Oh shit. Well, I am kind of happy I wasn't there. Yeah. That would have been scary. I thought you were gonna tell me like um like a young hoe came over.
SPEAKER_02You were on your young hoe shit. No, I until I have a bed, I will not be inviting any of the young hus over.
SPEAKER_01It's almost like I don't want you to have a mattress for that purpose.
SPEAKER_02Maybe that's why I've been holding off. Voluntary celibacy. Wow. No. Well, I have to do it. Man, it sucks to be hot.
SPEAKER_01I have a really bad belly ache. I might have to use your bathroom at one point.
SPEAKER_02That's fine.
SPEAKER_01It's been all week.
SPEAKER_02You have to go to the bathroom right now. Do you want to pause?
SPEAKER_01No, I don't have to go yep. Okay. It's not ready.
SPEAKER_02So you're gonna go number two?
SPEAKER_01No, I know P probably. Okay. And then maybe two. Are you gonna go one and two or just two? When have you ever gone just to? Uh if you've just gone one and then you remember that you have to go two.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you sure it's one of those things where you think it's just a one and then you pee out all of your one, and then you're like, let me flip around real quick. Yeah. And then you drop trowel and then you're gonna go.
SPEAKER_01Wait, that's funny that you have to flip around because I'm like, why would I be flipping around facing the toilet? I'm hugging it. Wow, that sucks. But when you know that you have to go to two, do you sit on the toilet to do one? Or do you go to the two?
SPEAKER_02Are you asking me if I sit while I pee?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, if you know you have to go two after. Or do you do one and then you go to the other one?
SPEAKER_02If I know I have to go two, I'll just do them both at the same time. It's not like a chronological thing. It's just kind of as it happens.
SPEAKER_01Okay. I'm just picturing if you're like, okay, I'm gonna go one and two. I'm gonna I'm gonna pee and poop now.
SPEAKER_02You're picturing me peeing and pooping on the bottom.
SPEAKER_01I'm picturing you peeing up standing and then being like, oh, now it's now it's two time, and you sit and then you sit down.
SPEAKER_02That usually doesn't happen. Usually I know going into the bathroom, I'm like, alright, this is gonna be a one and it's gonna be a two.
SPEAKER_01What's what's more comfortable to go to the bathroom? To to go one, standing or sitting?
SPEAKER_02Depends.
SPEAKER_01Um if you're erect.
SPEAKER_02If you're erect, yeah, you kind of do have to sit, but like even then sit? Yeah, well, yeah, because you it's weird, okay? Oh so when when you're erect, so what some people don't understand about erect penises is when you are erect, it's really difficult to pee. Like it's hard, like it's it's literally difficult, like you can't get yourself to pee. So when I am erect and I have to go tinkle, usually I'll sit and then I have to like maneuver so I can put my erect penis into the bowl because that's then it's touching the side of the bowl. No, you can you can s situate yourself in a way that it's not touching the side of the bowl or the water. You just have to sit like that.
SPEAKER_01Yours is definitely not touching the water, so don't worry about that.
SPEAKER_02You assumed it would be touching the side of the bowl.
SPEAKER_01Because you're you're bent over and I'm picturing it, it's like has to go upward, and so you're bent over in the bowl and I'm picturing it touching the in front of the bowl. Do you get what I'm saying? Are you saying what I'm standing or what I'm saying? Comment below.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, for any of you like visual effects people out there, if you can like draw this for us, that'd be great. No, give me a little leeway, please. You're be gracious, be gracious.
SPEAKER_01Okay, you as a as a male man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, delivering.
SPEAKER_01I'm picturing Erica Kirk. She's like male men, and then all the male mailmen were commenting. Do you see that? Anyway.
SPEAKER_02You're losing me.
SPEAKER_01You're not on you're not on EK talk. Okay, so you're an you have an erect penis. Yeah. You're sitting down on the toilet. Yeah. Your penis, if you were just sitting and you didn't do any maneuvering, it'd be facing upward.
SPEAKER_02Uh depending on how erect I am, it would be facing straight out. Okay. I don't have it doesn't go like this.
SPEAKER_01Oh. Okay. So anyway, so it's going straight out and it's not touching the toilet.
SPEAKER_02No, because you have to like push it down.
SPEAKER_01So then when you push it down, it touches the toilet.
SPEAKER_02No, because I know that it's down enough in the toilet that like I don't have to, I'm not gonna dunk my shit in the in the point in the toilet water.
SPEAKER_01So bad that I I need like a visual of this, but I'm obviously not gonna really ask for it from you. Okay. But if like there was a time when you were like, oh, this is that thing that sin said, could you like maybe figure something out? I have so many questions about this. Okay. How long was that?
SPEAKER_02That was too long. Hot takes hot takes. Top group. Shout out to Hanky Spanky. I know you're not watching this. Shout out to uh to Henry. If you play music from a speaker while skiing, you should be pushed off the chairlift.
SPEAKER_01Period.
SPEAKER_02Okay. When's the last time you went skiing?
SPEAKER_01I actually really like skiing. I've only gone a couple times, but the first time that I went, I my friends were like, Okay, you're gonna do pizza.
SPEAKER_02Okay, yes. This is the pizza French fries. Yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then I went down a um bunny hill and I went down once, fell maybe six or seven times. Then they were then they were like, Okay, we're ready for uh blue. I was like, okay. So then I full sent it.
SPEAKER_02Nice.
SPEAKER_01Now I'm kind of I'm kind of low-key good. Do you like skiing?
SPEAKER_02I'm more of a snowboarder, but I'm trying to get into skiing because it's it's better uh as you get older, like for your knees.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I want to do like a ski trip with friends. I think it'd be really fun. Like I love oh my gosh, nothing's better than when you get done of a long day of skiing and then you find yourself at the bottom of the hill. You're a little bit chilly, so you all go back, you take a shower, and you open up a cold a couple cold ones and you play a couple games and make a big old pot of chili.
SPEAKER_02So the skiing on the East Coast isn't great. I would recommend going to Tahoe, selfishly speaking, because that's where I used to ski.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so you're like actually good.
SPEAKER_02Well, I did it a lot. I wouldn't say I'm good. I could do I was mostly a park rat. Do you know what that means?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Can you do tricks?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01What?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, I would do like the the the rails and the grinds and I would go off the big jumps. It was mostly just grabs. I would do grabs. I couldn't do like flips and shit like that. I was too small.
SPEAKER_01Wait, that's so cool. Well, you skateboarded it, right?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01I thought I saw you with the skateboard.
SPEAKER_02Uh I mean I used to I w when COVID happened and everything was shut down, I did I briefly would visit a skate park because like there was nothing else.
SPEAKER_01How else were you gonna get around? Cars shut down.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's true. They shut down the cars, they did that.
SPEAKER_01Buses. You had to get it busy. Bus. Yeah. Okay, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_02All right. Uh so we agree. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Next. Every time we disagree, we should have the other person the person that we have both have to take a shot.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Did you bring alcohol?
SPEAKER_01Yes, by the way.
SPEAKER_02Ask gas or grass. Next up, shout out to Trenner. Disney adults are actually kind of fun to make fun of, maybe.
SPEAKER_01Wait.
SPEAKER_00I disagree. Okay. You disagree?
SPEAKER_02Uh it depends. Like, if you go to a park with a Disney adult, it could be fun because I am the type of person that's like, oh, I want to hear about the lore. So when somebody's like, well, actually, somebody died on Marilee, what is it?
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's fun. If we're talking about like a spooky navigator of Disney World, that's different.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, that would it I'm assuming a Disney adult would know those those facts.
SPEAKER_01That like I feel like where you went is totally not the same vibe, but I would like that too. Like I love a good fun fact.
SPEAKER_02Like a good tour guide.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I I'm s really creeped out by the whole thing. The only time I think I would have fun is if I went with children. You know what I mean? Like my nephews and my nieces. Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say it's good to clarify that they are related to you, children, especially in this current political climate. That's probably a big shout out to Calissa. Uh long distance relationship is better than no distance relationship. Oh hard disagree.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I disagree with that.
SPEAKER_02Well, I know you're very anticipated as somebody who is in one used to be. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01What's what do you think's the biggest pro though?
SPEAKER_02Of long distance? Yeah. Uh you can cheat. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, the the easiest thing with the long distance, I would say, is um like you can you kind of have your own separate routines. You don't have to worry about like if I come home, is this broad gonna want to come over?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. You sound like a horrible person to be in a long distance relationship with, no offense.
SPEAKER_02Well, the problem was is I was a great person to be in a long distance relationship with, and it wrecked me. Yeah. Shout out to Colin. Having kids nowadays is unethical. It's a big one.
SPEAKER_01Okay. I've been I've realized that the people that are conscious of other people and the planet, they're the people that are not having kids, and they should be the people having kids. Yeah. So I think that if you're somebody who has a good and you want kids and you have a good set of sh shoulders, good head on your shoulders, and you have really great shoulders and you just pass those jeans down, I think that you should have kids if you want them. But uh what do you what do you think about this?
SPEAKER_02Um, I think you're I think you're right. The people who focus on and think about common morality these days are often the the ones who are deciding not to have children. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I can't help but feel like it is unethical though to have more than like four kids.
SPEAKER_02This one's not uh a hot take. It just says work has drained the life out of you, you look like you need some good skin care and sleep.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh, who said that? Um maybe we can do we can prioritize like a like a friend spa day.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, maybe. You should take an exam before being allowed to have children. Agree. Like intelligence test. Absolutely. I think that's a great idea.
SPEAKER_01Obviously, it's a really hard thing to implement and that'd be really crazy. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um and then also it's like, well, how do you define the curriculum? Like what is academia?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because then it's then that could be fucked up. That could be a fucked up thing to do. But I do think that there should be like a morale test, to be honest.
SPEAKER_02No, I think that's I think that's a good idea. Oh, here's a good one. Chapel Rone doesn't deserve the hate she gets. I agree. I think she's a private person who's very public in the public eye, and people don't like that. And also I did see something that was like 56% of the uh hate comments she was getting are paid bots.
SPEAKER_01Oh no.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, who's out to get her?
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Somebody was saying it's like her former label. Uh-huh. Could could be the one buying bots to like harass her.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy. Yeah, I don't I feel kind of indifferent about Chapel Roan, to be honest. I feel like she I really like her music. I agree. Great music, great singer. And great singer, seriously. Like the one about um the sub subway, the train one.
SPEAKER_02The one called Subway.
SPEAKER_01Is it called Subway? How's it go sing it? Knee Deep in the Passenger Seat, you were eating me out.
SPEAKER_02It's the C train now.
SPEAKER_01No, no. Uh that song though fucked me up.
SPEAKER_02The the knee deep in the passenger seat.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But the one she's like, You got away. It's that one. Yeah, it's that one.
SPEAKER_03Jeez got, she's got away. She got away.
SPEAKER_02About uh concert etiquette. You don't have to record everything on your phone, just experience life. Agreed. I agree.
SPEAKER_01No one's ever watching those back.
SPEAKER_02No, I know. I I am that that guy that's like everybody has their phone out. I'm gonna be different and just be a part of the moment. This one kind of goes into what we were talking about because you said I look good even though like my I look muscular even though I haven't been in the gym a long time. She basically said that. Uh dad bot over ripped bod.
SPEAKER_01No. What do you think?
SPEAKER_02I mean, I don't know.
SPEAKER_01You don't have a dad bot though. You have like a stepfather bod.
SPEAKER_02What does that mean? Did you clarify?
SPEAKER_01Like it's not a dad bod. It's like somebody who went back out there and was like, I'm gonna give this thing another go. Then met like the love of his life after his first marriage. And then got too comfortable. No, no, and he like start so he kind of went through an initial divorce and then decided to start hitting the gym. Okay. But like, is it too late for him? Maybe, but he's like starting like he's been working out. Okay. Well but he's not like shredded. So does that make sense? Yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_02Self-deprecating jokes are not funny and it makes you look like an attention seeker. This is big because that's all I ever do.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, wait, that's actually crazy that someone sent that hot take into you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, do you not because that's like half of your comments.
SPEAKER_02That's the entire recipe for my peach cobbler bitch.
SPEAKER_00Also, that's my favorite dessert.
SPEAKER_02Peach cobbler bitch?
SPEAKER_00Peach cobbler, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Gotcha. Uh being single later in life is a actually a flex. Loser stops.
SPEAKER_01Wait, I'm still stuck on the self-deprecating thing because I totally agree. There is nothing that is more unsettling about somebody that cannot stop making self-deprecating jokes about themselves when you're hanging out. I feel like it's not it's not the vibe that like people think it is.
SPEAKER_02Raw dogging. As a hot take, I'm assuming they meant it's good.
SPEAKER_01What did they say?
SPEAKER_02Raw dogging.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm gonna assume that they meant that it's good.
SPEAKER_02That it's the hot take is that it's it's necessary and good. Well, seeing as though my camera is or Sid's camera is sitting on my Trojan brand condom, literally a a storage receptacle for Trojan brand condoms that there are several in.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I took one just because Yeah, she did.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I'm not using them.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, someone's gotta.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So um, ooh, this one goes back to what we were talking about. All men should pee sitting down. Depends on if you have a boner.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I can't get back into this again.
SPEAKER_02Here's a here's a fun one. Haircuts change men. Agreed. 1000%. Yeah, no, when people change their appearance, they change their appearance for sure. Dumb fucking hot take. Like what come on, guys.
SPEAKER_01No, but I'm saying it changes them. I think she means in a more um like transcendent way. Like, I think when men get a the right haircut, they're like a completely different person.
SPEAKER_02What would be my right haircut?
SPEAKER_01I was literally just thinking, I love when you make it you do that like slick back thing.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, you do.
SPEAKER_01There's I I that Can you do that next time?
SPEAKER_02My hair's not long enough. It does that doesn't land. There's like maybe two people that like that, and you're one of them.
SPEAKER_01Okay, well, I think we should do it for a podcast episode because I have to look at you the whole time and we already did.
SPEAKER_02I already did that for a podcast episode.
SPEAKER_01No, you did something else. You did like a mid part. Okay. I might take a nap here.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_02Can you lock up?
SPEAKER_01Can you lock up shop? Yeah. Last night we were asking Grayson what his type was, and he said, um, jet black hair and patchwork tattoos and a huge ass. Just kidding. Um, what else did you say? We ask we were like like personality wise. So someone who can laugh.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. Jet black hair, patchwork tattoos, uh Uh somebody big thing is somebody who has good banter, good sense of humor, somebody that can process sarcasm and like go in on a joke. Um the what else? Somebody who's very kind. Uh somebody who's okay with not doing anything because I sometimes actually more often than not, I'm like, I don't want to do anything today. I just want to sit around and do nothing.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's why I can't I couldn't do a long distance relationship because I love like a do nothing buddy in person and where you're like doing some parallel play. Yeah. So like one person can be just like scrolling on their phone, the other person's reading or whatever, and we're just like our feet are touching. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm sorry you had to go through that.
SPEAKER_02No, it's alright. 11 you learn.
