SPEAKER_01

Uh that's how I'd like to start this pod. I'll tell you the audience that today this one's gonna be the funniest episode you've ever seen in the pod. And we will hit that we're gonna hit that mark. 100%.

SPEAKER_06

If you start by watching this episode, this is gonna be the funniest episode.

SPEAKER_05

But make sure to stay till the end, because it's funniest at the end. And you can't skip either. It's a rule. Otherwise, if you skip, it's not funny. Yeah, you won't get it. We're gonna lay bits as groundwork that will all crescendo. Oh.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, we just watch this. Look, Steve, go ahead. Do something funny.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, the there's an earthquake or just me.

SPEAKER_01

And we're uh you got new uh glasses.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I wish I didn't have them on. I almost wore my because I just ordered some. Oh and I almost wore them.

SPEAKER_06

Uh the uh yeah, I got these uh from uh Wabi Pocket. What's the what's the cost on that?

SPEAKER_05

Because I I ordered them from some Chinese place online uh just because it happened to be Chinese and uh they didn't I didn't like the glasses I got. They're too big. Too big on my face.

SPEAKER_06

I laughed, only imagining the face you were making. You know the face he was making. Yeah, yeah. I got I got them from Warby Parker. Uh they were a little I would say they were over a hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Also, can I say I said I got my plate, my glasses from a Chinese place, and you said I got them from a Wobby Paca.

SPEAKER_06

I didn't do an accent, I just tried to say it funny, and yes, it could have sounded like that. Play it back, but I swear it was not that. How did you do it? I went wobble. Okay, yeah. I that's more that's what he does often. And play if you're gonna play the old one, play that one next to it. Because I believe it's the same one.

SPEAKER_01

I believe Steve on this one.

SPEAKER_06

I dodge his lasers as much as possible.

SPEAKER_01

And look, I'm my ears are up for it. It was not doing well.

SPEAKER_05

I bought them from a Chinese company, and I will not uh you know change the truth. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

You're not that you're like, well, what's the big deal? Before you I said Chinese, and you were like, I just wanted to hear your story. Oh, did you? I was just in genuine interest in active listening.

SPEAKER_01

Peter listens with eyes to just pretend you didn't hit the word Chinese with a little bit of extra punch.

SPEAKER_06

Did I? Play it back. Maybe I did. I'm pretty sure. I'll do uh impression. Okay. Uh where'd you get yours? Oh, cool. Because I got mine from some Chinese place.

SPEAKER_05

It sounded like I took out the word fucking.

SPEAKER_06

Oh man. Uh yeah. I wore them uh one, uh figured it'd be a good uh icebreaker, uh two sometimes, yes. Uh to get us going, you know. Maybe maybe you guys would sing a song about them. And it would go a little something like this.

SPEAKER_01

Uh one, two, three, four we like classes on the man. I uh I feel like every word we added took us further away than anything.

SPEAKER_06

Oh man. Uh but also it's sometimes it's nice to give your uh eyes a rest from contacts.

SPEAKER_01

Uh huh. Yeah, you know. You said it like a bit, but it was a regular sentence. It did sound like you were setting up a bit. That's the way you usually tell bits, and sometimes you and then you just like just to rest from contact.

SPEAKER_06

I was like a fake laugh ready.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I had a fake. I was I was like I was like, I'm not gonna enjoy this, but I'm gonna have to pretend like I do.

SPEAKER_06

And now I know that you don't think I'm funny. Because you had a whole system ready.

SPEAKER_05

I do it at the I I like the glasses for the end of the day. Like when I'm at home and I'm and I'm out, I'll throw the glasses on as a nice uh nice rest for the eyes.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I one uh this is uh a bit from someone else. Brian Regan has a really good one. I'm sure other people have lesser good ones about when you the optometrist gives you the options and the second guessing that you have with it. And uh partially I I had these on to be like, did I nail it? Because uh it's like a readjustment. And then two, I don't I I think I've listed three things, and three uh clear frames is uh is a little bit outside my comfort zone.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Uh but uh I'll say it is a different look for you that that you really like.

SPEAKER_06

I'll say it's a you just said Chinese and I'm looking at you. Go ahead. Are they a little cool?

SPEAKER_01

Um I think I'm not a re I'm not there, I'm not I don't know yet. It's it's so new. It seems unlike you. Yes, right? It's very un-Steven.

SPEAKER_05

Uh yeah, I I agree.

SPEAKER_01

You know why? Because it's it's got a little bit of pizzazz and like flash to it.

SPEAKER_05

They're yeah, they're they're they're cool. They're very like well, and they're just so unsteven.

SPEAKER_01

So cool and fun and well, okay, and there's some truth to that because it's not to say that you're lame or a dork or corny or bland or lacking of any flavor.

SPEAKER_06

Right. You know? Right. Seemed like there was more.

SPEAKER_01

So my glasses uh but okay, you lean into, and this is part of your charm, the you're you're you don't try to be cool. That's the whole thing. Yeah, you're kind of in the most endearing, like you're a dork, and so am I.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, and it's uh yes, we embrace a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_01

So then uh when you the there's a clash of dork versus like cool, you know? It's like if you started wearing like you know, nice leather jacket, you know, ripped jeans and whatever boots, it's like yeah, but you've you've been the your your your brand has been dork.

SPEAKER_06

Yes. So I've seen a lot of these, even just on the walk from my apartment to here, where I'm like, okay, there a lot of people are wearing them. So it's past its like prime, I think. So and I'm fine with that. And these I would never wear on stage. I uh they're my home glasses, uh, but I was like, I'll wear them today because if there's two people that won't judge me for these glasses and it will accept me for who I am, it'll be my parents that I FaceTime on the walkover.

SPEAKER_01

No, I haven't judged you. I know so far. I've just tried just trying to observe it. I will say now that five minutes have gone by, they are growing. They're starting to uh grow on me. Sorry, I'll just check. I I I'm sorry They don't change me. I'm starting to see it more. Yeah. But uh it'll be an adjustment. It's like when you see someone with a beard and they shave off their beard.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, I think that is I would argue uh not that we're uh uh to set take a sidestep to that, that's more jarring than the glasses on someone that doesn't wear glasses.

SPEAKER_01

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_06

Uh when someone shaves their beard and they had a beard. Yeah. Wild.

SPEAKER_01

Well what color were your glasses before? Green. I can't remember that.

unknown

Really?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, but you guys hardly ever saw them. I mean, you saw them when we're on the road and uh before I would go to bed. Yeah. I would have I would have said like black.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Dark green. Dark green.

SPEAKER_05

That's uh yeah, it's a good color.

SPEAKER_06

But uh Olivia picked these and uh Oh, well they're they're great.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, they're fantastic. I'm actually gonna I might get a pair. Yeah. So I think you heard they're from an American retailer.

SPEAKER_06

Wobby Paca! Um yeah, I uh I got a haircut, right? I got a haircut. It's amazing a lot going on. Yes, I just was to distract you from this because the the today I got my hair cut and my haircut the day of is always my least favorite.

SPEAKER_01

Really? Well, now you'll know this is honest. Your haircut's nice.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I don't yeah, it looks looks wait a minute. Now it's now mention my glasses again.

SPEAKER_01

And they're clear. How do you got glasses?

SPEAKER_06

Uh yeah, and then uh forgot- Oh, I was I had dinner with Olivia's ever all the female members of Olivia's family, her mother, her sister, and and her.

SPEAKER_02

I saw it.

SPEAKER_06

No, no, no, but you had the eyes. You had the eyes of a bit. I can't see him, but I bet he did.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, wait, wait, okay. What are the eyes that you felt you thought I did? And be careful. Keep your hands on your and but on your pockets.

SPEAKER_06

All right, all right. Say say it again. I had uh dinner with all the females in Olivia's family. Her mother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was that. It was it was definitely that. Uh but there's they're so uh fashionable and style uh where it it I want to keep dressing who I am. I don't ever want to step outside of who I am. But I was like, oh, that does encourage me to dress a little nicer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Uh spruce it up. So I wore a hoodie and uh ratty jeans to and sneakers today. But the glasses are making up for it, you know. And those are the eyes. That's the eyes you did, I swear. Uh and uh yeah, anyways, what's going on with you guys? Let's talk about your bodies.

SPEAKER_01

I found two new warts. Right on the head of my wiener.

SPEAKER_05

Is that an exciting feeling? Is it or is it just uh you over it by now?

SPEAKER_01

The warts?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Don't ever get over it, okay?

SPEAKER_06

Do me a favor. Do something about it every time. Always find it exciting, as in it'd be really exciting to go to the doctor right now.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, truth be told, I've never had warts on my on my penis. But oh, but you've had them on your butt. But when uh I was uh I think twelve years old, I uh I peeled back my foreskin, and I saw like very tiny, tiny, kind of like goosebumps surrounding um my foreskin. Uh-huh. And so I told my father. I said, I was so scared.

SPEAKER_05

He's the first person you went to?

SPEAKER_01

He's the first person I went to. This is before you you could look that stuff up. So I went to my dad and I said, I go, uh, I'm really scared. I just saw like there's bumps on my penis. And he goes, uh, I know what to do. So we went to the bathroom, and under the sink was uh this pipe cleaner called uh Detoll or something. D D E T T O L. Or it's some sort of antiseptic. It's something to clean up.

SPEAKER_05

Doesn't matter the brand. Pipe cleaner is enough to make it same texture.

SPEAKER_01

It's uh it's either sink, it's some sink cleaner or some some sort of it's not Draino, but it's called Detoll. And it's you but they would clean it, use the bathtub, use it to clean the bathtub or whatever. It goes, so take some toilet paper and fold it up and then blot this uh chemical.

SPEAKER_05

Did you say, can I just see yours before I do it? Can I just it's still sizzling?

SPEAKER_06

Have you not can I just peep at the effects? It looks like when the wicked witch melted.

SPEAKER_01

Which side note, I remember uh seeing my dad uh pee and going, I didn't know dicks get that big.

SPEAKER_05

Really?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but that was as from a child's point of view.

SPEAKER_05

I didn't know dicks get that big. Did you tell him that? No. I know what to do.

SPEAKER_01

So uh blotted uh uh uh toilet paper with a det hole. Yes, and then I uh covered or just made sure I got every goosebump that I saw. And then the next day it was burning really bad. And uh then the day after that, um, it was peeling b really badly. And uh I realized that he did not know what he was talking about.

SPEAKER_05

Cleaned your pipe. My goodness. That uh that must have been horrific. Did you like because you don't know as it's peeling, you don't know that it's gonna it's gotten progressively worse each day?

SPEAKER_06

Were you hoping it was like a snake where when the skin peels it's because it's getting bigger?

SPEAKER_05

Did you think it was gonna like a hermit crab like move to a new shell?

SPEAKER_01

I was worried that this was gonna be like bad, you know. Sounds bad. Yeah, ended up not being that way. But as far as wishing for it to be bigger, I used to hold onto the head with my with two fingers, and I would try to stretch it to try to get it bigger when I was in high school. Just from the head and pulling? And pulling.

SPEAKER_05

Well, everyone knows you gotta start from the base and then move up.

SPEAKER_01

Of course. Don't a lot of people get hurt from that? Yeah, there's something called jelking. And what I believe you do with that is when it's half hard or something, you yank it or something crazy. And I know a guy who said he would hang upside down and do it.

SPEAKER_05

Hang upside down and do it. Yeah. Like from his ankles?

SPEAKER_01

No, like I guess I don't know. I don't know. Hang from his dick? No, no, no, no, no, no. He would hang, yeah, with his legs, he'd be upside down. But then and then he would do that.

SPEAKER_05

I don't see how that uh helps. I I've uh I know I know what that is because I looked it up. Joking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's you're basically just like it's you're just stroking it with like a little bit of pressure, just over and over and over again. But the the the problem, the reason why you guys get hurt is like you're kind of there's like somewhat of an elasticity to it, and it'd be like stretching a rubber band over and over again, where eventually you have a longer loose rubber band. Oh, Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

So have you ever tried it?

SPEAKER_05

Uh I I did the motion like a couple times, but I didn't have like a routine. Okay. I did just to be like because it like I saw a video of it. I'm like, that looks not uh enjoyable. The do the the technique that yeah, yeah, it it would be it's like a really painful hand job, it looks like. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Um okay, so you're you're you're talking about your glasses or something. I forgot what you were gonna talk about, but I I just we got sidetracked.

SPEAKER_05

We did get sidetracked. I did this uh unintentionally the other day, and it made me I was like getting ready for bed, and like I had washed my face and taken my contacts out, and I was kind of just looking at myself in the mirror. And uh I think I was also a little high, like I was or I was getting there.

SPEAKER_06

Can I see the face you made into the mirror?

SPEAKER_05

And I was just staring at myself in the mirror, yeah. And after a while, like it got uncomfortable. And like so it posed I posed the question, yeah. How long do you think you could look at yourself in the mirror before you had to look away?

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's a great question. I can't look too long. I can't I'm I I and every morning I there's a mirror in my bathroom that I after I brush my teeth, I look into. And I get I don't get a lot of time. Why are you here ready to go? I'm waiting. I'm just waiting. I don't I I'm not able to do it too long.

SPEAKER_05

Is are you uh going until you feel like you have to look away, or are you just kind of like, oh, you look and then you you have you ever just really tried to sit with yourself and look in the mirror?

SPEAKER_01

Not in a long, long time because it's very tender and vulnerable.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So what what was your difficulty with with it?

SPEAKER_05

Uh well, yeah, it it's it's like a weird kind of meditation in a way. Uh yeah, I I think there's there's probably something physiological or s or something like in nature where we've we've we don't ever really see ourselves that clearly in nature. You know, like an animal is like a reflection in the water is probably the closest that they ever get. So I'm wondering if there's something inherent where maybe we're not supposed to do that, where it like messes with us or something, because it does, it's never felt great after a while.

SPEAKER_06

There's uh Jay Shetty, who I'm very into, uh podcaster, but an author very very into uh mental health and he was a monk for three years, and there's no reflective surfaces in the monastery. So the it eliminates that whole part of He didn't he didn't see himself for three years. Yeah, I don't think there was a I I'm sure he saw himself because they left the monastery for other stuff. He went he just did this. Um but uh yeah saying they getting caught up in because there's one literally behind me. Um getting caught up in that is not good at all.

SPEAKER_05

It's like a uh a realization or like a of the metaphor of like focusing too much on the self always leads to negative feelings or something like that.

SPEAKER_06

It's like uh uh I'm sure it yeah, it doesn't help you do things outwardly if you're focused on this person so much. Yeah. And uh that I'm thinking of this now, it's gonna sound bitty, but it also like probably is good because if you don't if you aren't focused with that, you don't know of any problems until someone might be like, you got a little you know what I mean? Like the there's nothing that really needs to be taken care of, and if there is someone that probably respects or cares about you would tell you.

SPEAKER_05

Right. You're not no there's no flaw to notice if you're not looking there, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

As I'm guessing. Yeah. I look in the mirror every day.

SPEAKER_01

So I I I'm um I do see like uh you know, evidence of getting older and then evidence of like getting like gaining weight or something, and uh, you know, and it's like uh that's that I think that adds to the difficulty in looking at it for me. Yeah. As I see I mean, you're watching, I mean, inside you never think you're as old as you are. Oh, yeah. And you look and then you're like uh uh it's a reminder, you're like, uh oh no.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I'll have like there'll be days where I'm like, oh my skin looks bad today. And then after a while, I'm like, my skin's bad. It's just bad.

SPEAKER_01

It's not do you ever look in the mirror and say I love you?

SPEAKER_05

No, I don't uh I don't say anything.

SPEAKER_06

Sorry, just gave my answer.

SPEAKER_01

I I just know it's it's funny to ask Taylor. I know Taylor's never done it.

SPEAKER_05

And I say it's not your fault. Uh no, I've never let me think. No, I don't think I've said anything uh because it's I mean there's A conversation happening, but it's I'm not saying it out loud.

SPEAKER_01

What's the conversation?

SPEAKER_05

It's it's not it's not really words to be honest. It's like a a conversation of of feeling in a way. Yeah. Yeah. Where it's it goes from like kind of kind of sadness to then it gets a little better, but it always eventually goes down.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, so like it's always negative at the end.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, a little a little bit. Do you like what you see in the mirror? Uh I would say why. I think no matter what, when I look in the mirror, I'm always I'm looking for a flaw. Wow. I'm looking for a flaw. And so if I look long enough, I will find one. Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. That's crazy. Yes, yes. Like if I have a bleed, uh, like a a quick, you know, look in the mirror, whatever, I could be like, oh, all right, you know, you know, looking good today. But if I stay there long enough, I'll be like, you have a deep belly button.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, oh, this is a full-length mirror. I've been thinking about the head the entire time.

SPEAKER_06

Or he's like, it's one of those.

SPEAKER_05

I get up on my I put my knees up on it, and then I I have a full length in my in my bedroom, but yeah, most of the time it's the mirror in the bathroom.

SPEAKER_01

You ever stand in front of it naked?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Oh yeah. Uh yeah. That I I've my record's about six seconds.

SPEAKER_06

Do you find the flaw right away?

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna guess that you've never masturbated in front of the mirror.

SPEAKER_05

No, I have not. I have uh I have had intercourse with a mirror in the room, and I'm not a fan of that either. Really not a fan of uh seeing myself do that. But yeah, masturbating into the mirror is psychotic to me.

SPEAKER_01

No, but I've hear I've heard people do it.

SPEAKER_06

Don't look at the I don't doubt it. Yeah, I gotta tell you, if it's one out of three people, it's you. Because it ain't me. It ain't me. I will never have never.

SPEAKER_01

That is a horrible idea. No, it's so hard to take yourself serious and do, right? I would be like, this is so stupid. The closest myself, like the closest I probably uh come to that is one time.

SPEAKER_02

Do you have you ever said that?

SPEAKER_01

I'll moan if I when I'm coming, because it'll it'll add to the pleasure a little bit.

SPEAKER_05

If you moan. Yeah. If you moan. Yeah. So you have not done it in the No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_01

But finish your sentence.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I've uh this has happened before where like uh let's say I have a computer open and I have some you know material on the screen. I forgot that I had also had planes are weird.

SPEAKER_06

I had had uh there's elevators that go up and down, but not sideways.

SPEAKER_05

Slantways and all ways and lightways. I had like, you know, the photo booth like app or whatever? It's it's basically a FaceTime where I'll then like right after I close out and then I'm just looking at me. Oh and that's I don't I don't know if that's equally as bad, but that's not great either. Because you just like yuck.

SPEAKER_01

No, you have came already by that point, so it's the point well, but it's like it's like a you know, that kind of a look.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. And then you're just like, oh, what are you doing? I think I've said this on here before. It was um a thing I used to do in college for no reason other than to try and I want I always wondered what I looked like when I wasn't aware when I wasn't aware of myself. So I would start um my like FaceTime camera on my computer, I would start hitting record, I would hit record, and then I would start doing other shit. And I'd be aware of it for the first like 20 minutes, but then eventually you forget it's recording. Yeah. And then I'd rediscover it like three hours later. Uh-huh. And then you scrub forward the first, and you could tell when you were no longer performing. Aware of it. Yeah, no longer performing.

SPEAKER_01

What'd you feel like you learned?

SPEAKER_05

Um that I say random nonsense out loud a lot. Uh I do have a very serious concentration face. Uh um, yeah, I I walk around, and then my face when I rediscover it is something like that.

SPEAKER_01

It's like you gotta turn back on.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it's like oh game on again. Well, because it hits you just like, oh, that's recorded. Oh, it's recording the whole time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I had I submitted an audition last week, and then my agent said, uh, hey, that's a good audition, but make sure you cut out the mistakes afterwards. And I didn't know I sent in like the in the tape, the stuff. And then in my head, I'm like, what that could be anything.

SPEAKER_03

What are the mistakes?

SPEAKER_01

That could be anything. Because I've there's times where I finish an audition and I literally go, This is so fucking stupid. I've looked like the second and I've had to edit that before. Where it the the the the it's this sharp of a of a difference between me going, thank you. This is the fucking stupidest thing.

SPEAKER_05

That's the realest. I'm telling you, like it's a when you don't know the cameras rolling, it's so interesting, and there's nobody around. There's uh I would help my ex a lot with filming self-tapes, and that would happen to her all the time. And there's one that we'd always laugh at. It was uh she was I forget the audition. She was supposed to be eating something in the audition, and I think she was just like waiting around to do the next take, and she just had a piece of bread, and then she's just looking at it, and she just went, I love bread, and then looked up and then noticed it was recording, and then just started laughing. And I related to that so much. I probably said that about cookies.

SPEAKER_01

I've always wondered, uh what if uh if you could get like a recording of your partner just you know, the their entire week, you know, just to see how they behave and they don't know that they're being recorded, that that's like very interesting kind of stuff. What do they say about you when they don't know that you know that you're gonna hear it? You know? What are their actions when they know when they don't know?

SPEAKER_05

You know? What are they like they're alone or just when they go about their day when they're talking to people?

SPEAKER_01

Both, you know.

SPEAKER_06

There's a uh element of and I'll find out if I'm allowed to say this later. Uh there's an element of like walls coming down when you're in a relationship that I admire. Of like, hey, we've reached this level of comfort. Yes, you should still like you know, put put your best foot forward in a relationship to be a a human, you know what I mean? Like don't be this full out disgusting farting and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Do you fart in front of your partner?

SPEAKER_06

I haven't yet, and uh oh wait, nope, I have, but it uh it it's like not like just letting it rip, it's like I'm really sorry. I've tried and this is happening. Yeah, yeah, and uh one time uh I'll say a woman that I may be seeing now, or it was in the past, but uh she was speaking and a burp came out of nowhere in the middle of her sentence, and she went, oh my god. Uh and that I was like attracted to her in in that moment because I was like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01

There's this there's a realness to that, yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And uh so I wouldn't mind seeing a video of that level of stuff, but you saw a video of her burping and farting and shitting and no, but like uh no, I mean like hey, we're we're no like a human being, like it's relatable seeing like those scenes in movies where like 40-year-old virgin always comes to mind of his of his waking up and going through his morning, walking with the boner, walking with the boner, him trying to uh pee with it, I think. Or that might be me, myself, and Irene. But like he tries to pee with it. Yeah, uh, but stuff like that. I wouldn't mind like seeing someone be a human. I always enjoy that. But anything after deeper than that would be invasion of privacy, I think. Right.

SPEAKER_05

Well, it's all an invasion of if they don't know that's fair. I gotta cancel an order.

SPEAKER_01

You're looking. Fascinates me. Well, what if uh what if so uh what if you could tell uh 13-year-old Taylor something? What would you tell him?

SPEAKER_06

Like uh Taylor, this all stops when you start going to therapy, by the way. Like it like advice?

SPEAKER_01

No, just if you just you just get a sentence to say to him.

SPEAKER_05

13. What what year what year is what grade are you in?

SPEAKER_01

That's like uh seventh or no, that's like ninth grade.

SPEAKER_05

Ninth grade? No.

It's you get all the fears that you have right now, they're justified. Everyone in your life is gaslighting you, including your barber. My barber tried to convince me that people with finer hair keep their hair longer.

SPEAKER_02

Body swapped.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, man. Well, perhaps this is a good time now for N and Reading.

SPEAKER_02

All right, so let me catch one.

SPEAKER_06

The real reason I wore these glasses was for the disguise. Oh, for because of what you're reading?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, whatever I'm about to say. Well, I think today I thought I'd do something a little different. Uh so just yep, you know, you take my lead on this. The paper is so good. You get good paper. Staples, uh, you know. Uh today's fake ad read is a little different because we will be reading an ad to promote our podcast. This is 100% written by me, and Taylor and Steve are reading this for the first time. Hey, Steve, I'm gonna say four things, and you're gonna rank them from most important to least important. Okay, sounds fun. Stopping Asian hate, mental health, a delicious burger, and a great podcast.

SPEAKER_06

Ugh, that's really tough because you know I love a good burger, and I meditate, so mental health is huge. But I can't live without a great podcast, so there's number one, that's number one for me.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you're in luck because there is a great new comedy podcast out now called Hee Hee He.

SPEAKER_05

That's right. Every week, tune in to listen to two guys who are white and one guy who is something else.

SPEAKER_01

Taylor, I have four things I'm gonna say to you to rank in order.

SPEAKER_05

Hit me, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_01

From most important to least important, a great podcast. Family loyalty, and doing a Chinese accent.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that is so easy. I rova go right to podcast. I rove a family, I rub a royalty. I I I hate the using an accent to make a fun of another culture.

SPEAKER_01

He he is available now wherever you listen to the podcasts. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06

Fantastic.

SPEAKER_01

Um that's one version. Here's another one.

SPEAKER_06

Taylor, I like the ad libbing you did by putting in the accent.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you didn't go with the script at all. It said Jamaican, but I figured I would Jamaica your own. I mean could Jamaica here. Alright, so here's another, and I'll I'll kind of set this up as if we're reading another one. Sure. Today's fake ad read is a little different because we will be reading an ad to promote our podcast. This is 100% written by me, and Taylor and Steve are reading this for the first time. Hello, everyone. We have an exciting announcement. I am starting a podcast together with my good friends Steven Rogers and Taylor Yarish. It's called He Hee He and will be coming out every week wherever you like to hear your podcasts. You guys excited?

SPEAKER_06

I'm excited. I'm also excited that I get to be white. I get to be white. I'd like to take some time out to appreciate and be grateful for that. It's great being white, don't you agree, Taylor?

SPEAKER_05

I do, especially since there's so many other options that are dirtier. Every morning when I look in the mirror, I think, man, thank God. Just the right amount of color. Which is none.

SPEAKER_01

Well, hold on, guys. You can't mean that. I mean, you're doing this podcast with me, someone of a different race.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. But you're one of the good ones. I wouldn't go that far. Look, we're just doing a podcast together. It's not like you're marrying my daughter, which would be a huge no-no. There's only one race I'm lit into my family, and I don't think I have to say it. But it's white. White is right. That's what I always say.

SPEAKER_01

But what about our listeners? Don't we want people from all types of backgrounds as part of our audience? No. But hey, this is 2026. We need to open our minds and our hearts. We're living in a very divided time right now. The more hate we spread, the more we are alone.

SPEAKER_06

I never looked at it that way.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you know what? You're right. Thanks, Peter. You're so smart. You really are. Your words just stop my racism.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. Hey, it's no big deal. I just want the world to heal and be happy. So, any words for our potential audience now that you're not racist anymore?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Listen to our new comedy podcast, Hee Hee Hee, even if you're not white.

SPEAKER_01

And now back to the show.

SPEAKER_06

There was boom.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And now, because there's no prep, we'll do my segment, which is for the next five minutes, we can only speak in questions. Start a five minute timer.

SPEAKER_05

Oh man, is this gonna be tough or what? Did you say five minutes? I think I did. Oh no!

SPEAKER_06

I gotta start it over. Over? Over. Start five minute timer. You think I can do it this time?

SPEAKER_05

Are you are you asking me if I think you can do it this time?

SPEAKER_01

Are you trying to cheat? Are you asking me if I can do it this time? How long did you think about the time? The time? Did you consider that five minutes is a little too long?

SPEAKER_06

Is it too long? I thought five was too long, but then I was like, is ten too long?

SPEAKER_05

Does it count if you just end whatever you say with a question?

SPEAKER_01

Does it count if you just do an inflection at the end?

SPEAKER_06

This was a bad idea, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01

You're an asshole.

SPEAKER_05

Should I stop it? I don't think we'll be able to get to five minutes. No, then do you think so?

SPEAKER_06

Should there be a punishment if you cheat?

SPEAKER_01

Would you agree that that's something to think about before the segment has been introduced? Am I being too harsh?

SPEAKER_05

What are some possible punishments?

SPEAKER_01

How about the next person who messes up kisses someone on the cheek?

SPEAKER_06

Both cheeks are just one.

SPEAKER_01

One is not enough. Don't you have to kiss?

SPEAKER_06

Ah shit. Shit? Do I? Does he have to do it twice now?

SPEAKER_01

Pick. Ah shit.

SPEAKER_05

Wait a minute. Is it fair that I have to do a punishment even though there are other people that messed up before we established? And did we actually Are you really keeping track of all this?

SPEAKER_01

Can you come closer?

SPEAKER_06

Can you feel scruffy now? Did it feel scruffy?

SPEAKER_01

I think he barely touched me. What do you think? Did you even touch his cheek? Were you not looking? Didn't you hover over it a little bit?

SPEAKER_05

Did you feel me or not? That's not the question. What is the question? Did I ask a question?

SPEAKER_02

No, I don't think you did, did you?

SPEAKER_06

Do I have to do both of you or just one? Why don't you pick one of us? Why does this feel like a 10 minute day? Have you been? Would you believe that there's a minute and a half left? Are we all gonna do uh at least uh two more questions each? Are we sure that's a good idea?

SPEAKER_01

What do you want to eat after this?

SPEAKER_06

How many people do you think I'm still listening at this point?

SPEAKER_01

Why don't you answer my question?

SPEAKER_06

Is there a new place we haven't gone to yet?

SPEAKER_01

What do you think?

SPEAKER_06

Or do you want to go to that place we went to last time? The chicken half a chicken? Are you talking about sweet after? No, the half a chicken place?

SPEAKER_05

Is there a new chicken place that you're thinking of?

SPEAKER_06

You guys don't remember the chicken place over here on Broadway?

SPEAKER_05

Are you talking about the chicken place where we sat in the back?

SPEAKER_01

Don't you have a invited? I thought you Are you talking about the caravan chicken?

SPEAKER_06

Is that what it's called?

SPEAKER_01

Was it the biggest thing? Is the building yellow? Was it the Peruvian food? It was Peruvian food, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_06

Well, would you look at that? Five minutes is up. Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

Thank the Lord. Fuck. Oh boy, that was really rough.

SPEAKER_06

I made it five. I originally thought ten.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, thank God it wasn't ten. Five is so long. Five is long. Because you think about podcast time. It's it's yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

That's a 20-minute segment on in five minutes. Or does that make you know a five minute segment that felt like 20 minutes?

SPEAKER_01

Have you ever kissed a guy before?

SPEAKER_06

No, obviously on uh well, family members like goodbye, but like cheek stuff. Yeah. Italian, like more affectionate. So yeah, cheek kisses on like grandfathers and uh dad cheeks and neck. Sorry, I just went, I just wanted to get a laugh. Um, but no, never a guy on the lips, unless it was something like a sketch or something. But I don't I would do it for that, but I can't think of if I've actually done it. I don't think so. Yeah, acting in college, I've done it. Yeah, acting straight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I'm sorry. Stupid. Uh yeah, as for a scene, I don't remember.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, sorry. I don't know if you've talked about it on the podcast, and I don't know if I I know some of the story because uh of us our friendship, but I got to see Taylor run his bit about the play where he had to be uh a certain way. Have you ever told it on here? Where I had to be naked?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I don't think so. Uh all right, well I guess they missed out. Uh I mean we're not gonna hear about it. It was a play, it was called Equus. That was the name of the play. Uh in the bit, I'm a freshman, but it was my sophomore year. Sophomore year. And uh Daniel Radcliffe did it on Broadway not too long ago. We had a director that was like whatever if she was doing a play that had been done on Broadway, she basically just copied whatever Broadway did. And at the time in my class, believe it or not, I looked the most like Daniel Radcliffe. Uh I could see that. Because I had hair, like you know, like your style and stuff, and so it yeah. Uh, not to say that I didn't do a good job auditioning or anything like that, but yeah, I got the the part, and there's a part at the end of the show where um he's in a horse stable, and there's a girl who works at the horse stable who really likes him, and they like start kissing and stuff, and then she starts to undress, and then he starts to undress, and then they're both naked on stage. But he has the the he has this like weird sort of godlike fascination with horses. They're like literal gods to him, and so they're in the horse stable having about to have sex, and he feels so much shame because they're watching him, and so uh he can't take it anymore. So he takes a pickaxe and he leaps and and stabs the eyes out of all the horses. So that's what I had to do. I was running around on the stage, and there were actors in like these like horse, they're on these like stilt things, they have these huge masks, and I'm just running around, you know, stabbing them in the uh in the eyes. Yeah, with my dong out, and then uh yeah, and then that's kind of the end of the the scene, but the last place I want to get naked is next to a horse.

SPEAKER_06

And you write the rest of that.

SPEAKER_05

Thankfully that wasn't part of the the costume. Yeah, that's that's very funny. I don't uh I've never made the play a part of the bit because maybe that's something it might it might be. Uh it I feel like every new piece of information, because I've tried to in the past, every new piece of information qu sort of begs another question, unless you really just spill out the whole thing of the the play, but I just didn't, you know, didn't want to.

SPEAKER_01

But uh were you uh at all like when you found out you had to? Were you like, what like were you scared? Were you like, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_05

I knew when auditioning that that was a part of it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, they they warned everybody.

SPEAKER_05

Is that when you were watching those? It's in the play, so I'm like, I'm auditioning for this role. I know if I get this role, I'm gonna have to do it. Yeah, is that when you were watching those videos and that is strange? I was like, all right, we got three months. Let's see how much we can get in that time. Uh but I'll tell you what, when the when the Castlist came out, and it was like a huge deal for me, and I think it was at the the main stage. There's like we had a bunch of different stages of the college, but this was like the premiere, like other people would tour at this theater at the college. So it was like it was the it was a nice all the all the big productions get put on there, so like to be a sophomore leading this show was like a huge deal, but also there was like that, and then immediately like fuck, I'm gonna have to get naked. And the show I did this semester before, I had to take my shirt off, and I thought that was a big deal. And then this one I was like, well, fuck. Yeah, yeah, there's no amount of working out. Yeah, there's no crunches for lower. Yeah. No, there's believe me. Yeah. Interesting uh note though, that at the time the girl who had to get naked uh with me during the show, we started hooking up. We had a we had a showmance, um, which did make the whole thing uh a lot easier. I don't know if that's why she initiated, but Taylor, I'm not interested.

SPEAKER_06

I'm just trying to get into the characters.

SPEAKER_01

Do you think the anyone in the audience saw her pussy? Oh yeah. She she had her pussy out. She got completely naked. Yeah, but there's even when a woman is completely naked and standing, there's there's a there's there's there's a non-visibility to seeing that.

SPEAKER_05

Uh the people that were because there were people that were seated on the stage as well as in the audience. Yeah. It was like sort of in the round. The people on the stage probably saw when she had laid down on the ground.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, she lays down on the ground.

SPEAKER_05

Because I I lay her down on the ground and I get on top of her, and uh and then she's just kind of like this, yeah, like that. Right. So they saw her her pussy in my butthole. And uh Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's the crazy part. No, seriously.

SPEAKER_05

It is crazy. What's crazy is that the show was filmed and I was not allowed to have the tape. What? What film every show at this theater, and I uh I asked for the the tape merely just because I was putting together an acting reel and I wanted other scenes from the show, but they wouldn't give it to me because of her nudity.

SPEAKER_01

It's part of your acting reel is is your asshole. You can hear the lines, but it's her asshole.

SPEAKER_06

It's zoomed up. Why did he send us this? Uh just showing what I can do on camera.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, there wouldn't a video little girl's pussy in it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, uh well, from the angle of the video to the case. Well, they're in college also. Let's let's put that in there. Yeah. That it's and she was a she was a senior, so she was probably 20.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, let's start putting that information in there, please. I think that's vital information. Let's leave out context as well. Let's let's maybe cut out little girl.

SPEAKER_01

Like she uh young young lady.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, they have a young woman a video of it that I never got. And also, about a month later after the show, I went into the director's office to like ask her a question, and framed on her wall was a picture of me. It's from behind, but I am leaping into the air and with like my legs back, and I'm completely naked. That was just framed on her wall, and I was like, What's uh what what? And she was like, uh you could tell that she knew she probably shouldn't have it up there.

SPEAKER_01

She was like, Oh, I thought it was so tasteful, and uh yeah, but you were a little uncomfortable by it.

SPEAKER_05

A little bit. I mean, I was like, I was more uncomfortable because it's like you're gonna have that up there, but I can't have the video of me being naked and also her being naked. I because I couldn't really use like, hey, we're fucking as a defense. Is that she's the reason they didn't give me the footage.

SPEAKER_06

It's weird that they don't give you it like with her entirely blurred out or something.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think they have that capability. That'd also be weirder. Is it I guess so, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He's just talking to a blur. That's part of his acting reel.

SPEAKER_05

And now I'm gonna fuck the blur.

SPEAKER_01

Uh what if uh you you know you see the photo in the office and she goes, What's going on there? She goes, Oh my god, close the door. So you can go close the door. Yeah. And pick up that fake pickaxe. And she goes, uh if you want an A, I'll blow you.

SPEAKER_05

If you want an A, I'll blow you.

SPEAKER_06

Wait, wait a minute. Uh my first So it's a win-win scenario for him? Like, wait, that's not even a win-win. It's a double win. Well, I'm still the price of one.

SPEAKER_05

This is an older woman. Yes. Uh 70s? Um 60s or 70s, maybe. Yes, maybe let's say late 60s. I can't, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So that's the price.

SPEAKER_05

Uh first of all, I would have been like, there was a grade on this? Uh uh no, I would not have done that. I would have waited to see what grade she gave me otherwise.

SPEAKER_06

Would you get a grade for the play? You get a grade on your action?

SPEAKER_05

No, but I did get um it counted towards college credit. Wow. It did. Which is great, yeah. But it uh it was kind of like a pass-fail scenario. There was no like interesting B minus.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. What it would would do would you have preferred that photo come down?

SPEAKER_05

It well it did come down eventually, but um because of the No, to be honest, it didn't really bother me.

SPEAKER_06

Did you get the do you have photos? Yeah, yeah. Do you have photos of you naked on stage? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, it's it's me as uh getting undressed, I think.

SPEAKER_01

While he gets the photos, we I think we'll well we'll just go some time, you know?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, let's go some time.

SPEAKER_05

God damn it. God damn it, where are they?

SPEAKER_06

Top animal noises that you can do.

SPEAKER_05

Um I think I can do a decent so what's that? This is me on top of her.

SPEAKER_06

Uh-huh. Wow. Wow, look a big like locks of hair on you.

SPEAKER_05

I know. It was well, I have there's so much doctoring. There's so much doctoring going on in this photo. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Anyone with your dick out?

SPEAKER_05

None with my dick out. This is us getting undressed. Peter just lost interest. Oh, yeah, I don't have any with this is the this is the naked photo. They didn't give us photos, professional photos of us naked. Yeah, you'd be in a different career. When I go back and see my 13-year-old self, make sure you get the naked photos.

SPEAKER_06

There's gonna be so there's a real question for the for the kids out there. Uh yeah, the kids are make it made it this far, huh? Everything I said would have been fine. But uh when you're having sex in a play or acting that you're having sex, what are you doing with your body? Because you have to be convincing, but obviously you're not actually doing anything.

SPEAKER_01

Luckily to be hard, because he's not actually hard.

SPEAKER_06

Uh I guess that could be part of the question, but I'm just asking, like, what's he do with his body to obviously simulate it? To simulate it and to respect another person's boundaries, because it's obviously they're not doing it for real.

SPEAKER_05

Luckily, in the show, I'm not supposed to get hard. I'm not supposed to get hard. Oh, yeah, because of the horse form. Oh, that was yeah. That if I was if they were like, you know, that that's harder than crying on command. I mean, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh that was a big both you gotta think about yeah, both I got to think about my mom dying.

SPEAKER_06

I couldn't finish it, so I'm glad you did.

SPEAKER_05

Uh after that, for the whole the rest of the school year, really. Everybody would always ask, like, oh, how did you not how are you not hard the whole time? Or like, do you get hard? And uh that question bothered me.

SPEAKER_06

I can understand that. Did you have all these are real questions, but they're gonna sound like not. Did you have people woo or heckle or anything because it's you know, college?

SPEAKER_05

You could hear a pin drop. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You heard you heard nothing. Was it like kind of eerie because it is a full house, like full theater and it's completely. Did you hear even this?

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Let me see that playbill.

SPEAKER_01

I said I said it's I wanted Skittles.

SPEAKER_06

I have to go to the bathroom first. Can you guess just get up first?

SPEAKER_05

They don't turn it off. I'll tell you this though. My senior year, I was doing a Shakespeare play, and in the middle of a scene that I was doing, the fire alarm went off, and we immediately had to just stop the show, and we all had to go outside. And I'm really thankful it happened during that show. And not man. All right, no, we have no time. Just go outside.

SPEAKER_06

Uh that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Do you remember any Shakespeare monologues? Yeah. To close us out? Close us out. Uh sure.

SPEAKER_06

Uh and keeping in mind that you know this is the part where everything comes together and there's a really big funny ending. Yeah. Uh no, don't go for a laugh. Don't go for a dramatic hit it good.

SPEAKER_05

Uh, to be or not to be. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the minds to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them, to die, to sleep, and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks the flesh is heir to. I mean, 'tis a consummation to b devoutly to be wished, to die, to sleep, to sleep, perchance to dream. But there's the rub. For in that sleep, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil? Must give us pause.

SPEAKER_06

I'm gonna be in uh London on May 30th. That's good. Uh good, short. That was really good. I didn't know mortal coil was uh was him.

SPEAKER_01

I just realized that too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Uh um and I'm gonna be uh uh anyways. Um go ahead.
