SPEAKER_02

Taylor had his grip with his story.

SPEAKER_03

He was breaking down tease. Uh-huh. T T. TTT. Welcome to T. T.

SPEAKER_02

Today we're talking about TTT. TTT.

SPEAKER_04

TT. Big fan. Uh, so uh welcome to the show. Uh where uh there's no point and it doesn't matter. Uh whose line is it anyway? Uh spin.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I knew I had to reference it to you guys. Why? Have you seen actually you love Whose Line? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I I've seen so much of it, but I don't think from the part where they open the show, it's always just the clips. Yeah. The clips themselves. Wow.

SPEAKER_04

Well. Well, welcome to the show, everybody. I'm Steven Rogers.

SPEAKER_02

I am uh Peter Wong. Hey, and I'm Taylor Yarish. And here we are.

SPEAKER_03

We are here.

SPEAKER_02

Uh we are in the uh a different room today. I don't know if you can see that on the camera.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, we're in a different room. This is uh because Grove 34 is redoing their green room.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like I need to add uh we always go so high. I've been trying, I'm gonna try to do bass. I noticed that on the song.

SPEAKER_02

We always tend to go high different words. All right, but Taylor's gonna go low.

SPEAKER_04

He should say high low.

SPEAKER_02

That's a very good low.

SPEAKER_04

A low.

SPEAKER_02

Wow. Do you but uh have you ever uh did you you practice your singing growing up?

SPEAKER_03

Uh I wouldn't say practice. There was a brief window when I was doing theater where I did musicals, but it was in high school when nobody was like a real breakout, like clear singer. Just anyone who could hold a tune, so I could I could hang. But I this is true. I've I've been the lead in a musical. I've never had like professional singing lessons. What I've done, and you this will be believable.

SPEAKER_02

You were Seymour in Little Shop, right?

SPEAKER_03

No, I was I was the music man? I was baker in Into the Woods. Um he's the matter. Yes, he's the he's the baker, but he's it sounds so douchey to say he was the lead.

SPEAKER_02

But he was well you were the lead in a lot of the plays that you did, but he's straight plays. But this is uh this is a musical where like there's straight plays and then there's musicals, right?

SPEAKER_03

Honestly, yes, correct. Those are the terms. Um but I have never had the singing lessons, I would do uh impressions of a good singer. Oh, good singer.

SPEAKER_02

I would try to do an impression of a good singer. So what's an example?

SPEAKER_03

Like I'll give you an uh for that musical Into the Woods, the audition piece that every guy had to sing was for um the prince roles. And the princes are that's the role I really wanted because they're the comedic relief. And they talk like this. Oh wow. And so they have a very specific way. Gaston. It's very Gaston singing. So there was a um they made like a movie where they filmed one of the Broadway performances, and so I just watched that over again, and I just did an impression of those guys, their take. I it was complete plagiarizing is probably the wrong word, but like I know what you mean. I just stole the way they sung. Yeah, because that's the only way my brain can like match a sound. You can't be like hit an A sharp and I'll hit it. But if you're like do your best impression of that guy singing, it's it's okay.

SPEAKER_04

Right, right. Wow. I remember my cousin was Mr. Mushnick in Little Shop of Horrors, and I remember like on YouTube watching uh Mushnick and Son, the song, uh and loving the how these actors did it and sending it to my cousin. I was like, You should do it like that. He's like, Well, they do You should do it like that. We do choreography, like it was like I was so young I didn't get it. I was just excited that my cousin was doing it, and now as a comedian, I'm like, I'm one of those a-holes that come up and go, You should try it. Have you ever tried uh doing it with a like a puppet?

SPEAKER_03

It's like Ben Affleck getting the role of Batman. Like, you should do it like Christian Bale. He was really good. He was a really good Batman. No, but I'm like, it's it would be the same. You ever thought about doing it like that?

SPEAKER_04

Are you gonna do it like are you gonna do it like the other people?

SPEAKER_03

Like the guy we like.

SPEAKER_04

You go, I'm Batman. So that's a pretty good musical impression. Uh go ahead.

SPEAKER_02

Do how's Mushnick and Migo?

SPEAKER_04

Mushnick and Sun.

SPEAKER_02

Mush Mush Mick and Sun. Mushnick. Mushnick and Sun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. And uh I just remember the one of the lyrics is Mushnick and Sun. He was trying, he sees that Seymour is like making money, uh, could make money off this giant plant, so he starts being trying to be close to the uh to Seymour. Uh-huh. And now I'm only realizing now that Mushnik was a pretty rough stereotype. Oh, because he's like, isn't that like a Jewish name?

SPEAKER_03

It's it sounds sounds like a like a Jewish it sounds like a bagel order. Can I get a Mushnik and son on everything?

SPEAKER_02

It's funny, I grew up with a good amount of Jews. And I never really experienced that kind of Jew.

SPEAKER_04

I don't I think it's a stereotype that doesn't isn't like Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

It's it's a there's a lot of characters on TV that like the the Mort from Family Guy, the redheaded like pharmacist. Yeah. Oh, this is how he talks. Oh god.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I never experienced that.

SPEAKER_03

Whereas all every other stereotype It's the same as the mother in Bob's burger. Yeah, it's very I've I have met that person, but women, older women.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Only women would never be like that, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_03

That's not what I'm saying. So I'm trying to summarize. I'm saying I have only ever encountered older women who have had that voice and overall personality. I haven't met the guy.

SPEAKER_04

You brought a lot of traps today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You're saying only women can be like that. That's what you're saying. This guy's like to lock in that answer. This guy's hunting.

SPEAKER_02

This guy's on a hunt. All right, I'll say this. I have uh I've never encountered like a uh a Jew like that. But all the other stereotypes, not they're not all like that, but you can think of one where you're like, oh, I I know one like that. You've met him. Yeah. Say six of them. Chinese, black, Spanish, wait, what are you saying?

SPEAKER_04

You're just saying things. You're saying these are the words of the thing.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, those are those are people. I would not call them things.

SPEAKER_04

Those are people who I mean he came ready to it.

SPEAKER_02

What I'm saying is I could you could you know what a Chinese stereotype is.

SPEAKER_04

You're not saying this, uh I'm sorry, you're saying types of people, but you're not saying the stereotype. Yeah, because I think you know in your head what what that is like. I don't know what you said so you're saying the first one's inaccurate. And I said, and you said, but I can think of some where they are accurate. Of course. And I go, name six. And you didn't Chinese is one of them. You didn't name any of the stereotypes, you just named types of people.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, well, as far as affectations and voices and the way they speak, if you if you want to if you're doing an offensive impression of Oh, I thought we were still talking about the money thing.

SPEAKER_04

You're talking about the sound of the voice.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you were talking about the money thing this whole time. Yeah. Oh, that yeah, that I see a lot.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, I didn't even bring it up. Mushnick and son, he's he's trying to get money from Seymour. I see. I see. I I because I thought this stemmed off of the I'm pretty sure the whole character of Mr. Mushnick is like he's like Mr. Krabs. It's all money, right? Like every motivation behind the character, if I memory serves, and I'm only realizing now that I believe that's a Jewish character. Probably Mr. Krabs.

SPEAKER_02

No, Mr. Mushnick. Oh, Mushnick, yes.

SPEAKER_04

I want to take this antidote and throw it off a building. Because no, Mushnick's lasting way longer than I wanted it to be. Mushnick for sure. Mushnick. And because I just said this now, it's gonna come up a lot.

SPEAKER_02

But for sure, Mushnik, I would say, in that play, is a caricature of a Jewish person.

SPEAKER_03

I think so. That's probably the abbreviated name of what they originally put.

SPEAKER_04

They were like, let's because I think it takes place in New York, or at least it's supposed to no, it's called Skid Row, but when did that man? I know a lot about this musical everywhere.

SPEAKER_03

Do you know when it came out?

SPEAKER_02

No. 1972.

SPEAKER_03

I want to see if this is right. That Gulman bit. I want to say 1971. So I will. And I have.

SPEAKER_02

Um so you know what I mean? About well, just going back, we'll separate it from what he was talking about. You can picture 1986.

SPEAKER_03

So before that, 86. Okay, you if someone said do an impression of a a Jewish person, is that what you would do, or you wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_02

I would do that because I know that's what people think that that's an impression.

SPEAKER_03

Because I'm gonna give them what they want to hear.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, exactly. Because it makes me laugh. But uh I haven't met pretty much any Jewish people like that. Whereas I can pick up I have met Chinese people like the if you do the the sound.

SPEAKER_04

What did you do for your 19th birthday?

SPEAKER_02

What did I do for my 19th birthday?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, wasn't it recently?

SPEAKER_02

I'm missing the 19th birthday.

SPEAKER_04

Wasn't your 19th birthday recently? Oh no, that was 14 years ago, so it's not that close.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. That was on the year thing. Because I said 1972. And then 1986, I said that's close.

SPEAKER_03

That I missed all of that.

SPEAKER_04

I was like, what I was just excited that I got the math into my head to be correct, I think. Yeah. That's it. Oh, come on. There's nothing for that.

SPEAKER_02

I was pretty excited to do it. I'm proud, I'm uh excited for you. But you did wait till we were two topics ahead and then you find it back.

SPEAKER_04

It took me that long to do the thing.

SPEAKER_00

But you can't be so our result from it. Waiting wouldn't help. We have to go hold on, but we were talking about voices.

SPEAKER_03

If you look over, he's going.

SPEAKER_04

All right, fine.

SPEAKER_02

You know, we're having a good time. Um I believe Steve has read a card. Steve, by the way, had me and Taylor contribute a card to his hee hee he deck, which is these. They uh and which we've been playing lately, where we have little things we do during the show.

SPEAKER_04

Let me put this in the discard first. And uh let me start a timer here.

SPEAKER_02

Let you do it first and then start the timer.

SPEAKER_04

I'm getting the timer ready. You'll know once he's doing it. I hope. All right, continue talking.

SPEAKER_02

Um, so how's the car? I know your car is in the sh was in the shop.

SPEAKER_03

I got it, I got it back. Uh-huh. Um and uh it was about yeah, it cost me like it was like $700. $700 to get the door fixed. To get my door fixed. Yeah. And uh that's uh that's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. He was in uh this guy over here. Everyone look over here. Uh he was in the car when the door stopped. Uh oh, did you get it fixed? I got it fixed.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so it's all good. I do want to play chair switch right now. Um I'd like to switch with uh you. Steve, let's go ahead.

SPEAKER_03

Let me get my stuff.

SPEAKER_02

Come on. So you got it. So now the car's door is working again.

SPEAKER_03

The door's working again. I drove it to I drove it to Maryland and back. That's a lot of time. I drove it to I drove it to Maryland and back, and uh, you know, no no issues. Uh-huh. It's been pretty I want to update the rules a second.

SPEAKER_04

Should our decks be switched?

SPEAKER_02

Let's keep our decks.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

I haven't read my deck, but I feel like it'll be easier if we keep our decks.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, so you drove to Maryland already.

SPEAKER_03

I drove to Maryland uh on Saturday, yeah. Yeah. Day before Easter. Down down and back same day, and no uh issues. That's good.

SPEAKER_02

Well, because Taylor has got his uh car, a new a car, a used car. Oh, well, uh um a car from your used car.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and lately you had a train through. I mean, this is a used up, just blown out uh Cadillac. Say Cadillac faster. I have my shirt off. Uh dirty little Minx of a car. And uh I worked out, but I had a big lunge.

SPEAKER_02

I will say you are you do look uh good definition in the patch. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03

Especially it's the slow climb till summer. We got about eight weeks. He's gonna get yoked. Don't worry about it. Can I just get a face up for what that's like?

SPEAKER_02

That's good right here. This is good too.

SPEAKER_04

Up here is good.

SPEAKER_03

This is the problem here. Well, you're you're you're crunched over like a god. I'm trying to hide myself.

SPEAKER_02

So, okay, obviously the card I gave I wrote was if you read this, uh, you have to take uh you must take off your shirt for five minutes.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And the funny thing about that is I put myself at risk by adding that.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah, well, that's the goal. Sure. And I realized with this card game that I'm still at risk with the cards, but I know what they say. Yes. And I haven't had the thrill, and boy, is it great, of not knowing what is on the card and then getting it. Yeah, and now I like that we've introduced that some of the cards can blow up in your face. Yeah, yeah. Because I've introduced some of those today as well as you have. Uh and uh I'm really glad I involved all of you, and that time goes slow uh so that we can enjoy every second.

SPEAKER_02

How are you with your shirt off in general? I know on the beach you you're happy to do it because contextually I'll stand the entire time it's off. Oh, it's standing helps. Standing helps. Because it's it shows a bit of belly when you I get you.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like I've never liked my body sitting.

SPEAKER_03

It's very hard to have flat washboard abs when you're just sitting. Zoom in on me when you say this in the clip.

SPEAKER_02

And you have a little happy trail that goes that starts from there.

SPEAKER_03

I was I was thinking I was looking at your body, I'm like, I have it, it's unbelievable how much more body air I have than you. Yes. I wish I could use some of that right now. It's uh believe it or not, it gets less.

SPEAKER_02

I'm shirtless right now. To me, it goes less, if you can even believe it. Really? Yeah. Wow. I don't have this. I'm guessing this connects from the belly button to your pubis. And okay, then there's that. Wow. This is me. I don't even I don't have a trail. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, everyone have their uh chest exposed at the same time. I don't have that card. I don't have that.

SPEAKER_03

People already think this is a gay podcast. Do people really? Well, uh I mean some of the clips and the uh like the sketches and the ad reads, yeah. People who don't understand, they're like, what are you doing this gay podcast for? And they don't mean it as like a man. They mean a homosexual.

SPEAKER_04

I had a cancel card.

SPEAKER_02

You should play it when there's one second left.

SPEAKER_04

Amazing. And you know what I found? A card, I have a card in here that if if if you could play the sobriety test.

SPEAKER_02

I'll show you. Why do you do it? How do you do it? Uh you can walk a line and touch your nose.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_02

You can do that on camera. Oh yeah, look at that. Walking a tightrope over there.

unknown

Thank God.

SPEAKER_07

You gotta do the test.

SPEAKER_02

Uh and then when you come back, you can do the alphabet backwards.

SPEAKER_03

That I couldn't do sober.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's really, really difficult.

SPEAKER_04

Z Y X W V U T.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Sorry, I I I screwed up.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Uh just getting ready. Uh uh.

SPEAKER_02

P O Right, it's Q R S, so that means it's R S Q instead of S Q S.

SPEAKER_04

We're making it longer on purpose.

SPEAKER_03

Q R S S R Q S R Q, yes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I this is already better than I would have done, so I'm not even gonna P O.

SPEAKER_04

Now it gets easy. N M L F U.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, I was like you.

SPEAKER_04

Uh L K J H E F D.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you missed some stuff.

SPEAKER_04

C V A You forgot I. Oh, well.

SPEAKER_02

Well you got that's good, good for you.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, thanks.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry test. No way, I can't. Steven Rogers.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. All right. I would tell the cop, I'd be like, can I do a handstand instead? Like I I'm telling you I'm gonna fail.

SPEAKER_02

I would you should ask the cop, can you do the alphabet backwards?

SPEAKER_03

Right. I'm sure they'd love that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Right away.

SPEAKER_03

Let's do it together.

SPEAKER_02

Um so yeah, cars uh got got fixed. Your car has had a lot of repairs on it since you've gotten it.

SPEAKER_03

It's been a yeah, it's been a money pit for sure.

SPEAKER_02

It's been a money pit.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I thought you were gonna sing it.

SPEAKER_02

How's it go? It's been two years since you looked at me. One week since you looked at me. It's been one week since you looked at me. Uh all right. There's something on your mind. There is so something on your you are cut, you're a there's something. Short circuit.

SPEAKER_04

I was wondering if I should bring it up, but you said to me that it was stupid for him to even get this car.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like this is bait in either topic or card, and I'm gonna take the bait anyways. Um, I did not say that. I said that uh getting this car, uh, you should highly consider a different like a new car as a as an alternate. Right.

SPEAKER_04

You and you said what he did was a mistake, is what you said.

SPEAKER_02

I did not say it was a mistake. I said you should consider getting a new car. Um yeah, I understood why you ended up wanting to go that route with that car. Well, and I could have I could see myself doing that too.

SPEAKER_03

The risk that I that I I take is that over the long term, for the amount of time that I have this car, it ends up costing me a lot less. Because even if I didn't get this car, if I didn't bring it back up, it's not like I was two seconds, it's not like I was looking to get a car and then this came up. Yes, it was just like, hey, here's a free car that I'm gonna have cheap insurance on that I don't have to pay anything. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Let's you're still ahead for now.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, for now. Yeah, correct.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, go ahead. No, this just says gaslight tell something a host never said.

SPEAKER_02

Are you supposed to play that on one of us? No, you did it to yourself. I did it to myself. That's your form of gaslighting.

SPEAKER_04

I could I named it gaslight, even though uh you could do other things with gaslighting.

SPEAKER_02

It's just adamantly say, no, you said this. No, no, no, no. You said this.

SPEAKER_04

I don't gaslight, so that's why I was so rusty at it. That's why he did it.

SPEAKER_03

That I do believe just he just set himself up for that compliment.

SPEAKER_04

I don't gaslight or exercise.

SPEAKER_02

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a gaslight?

SPEAKER_04

Ooh.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah, I think everyone has. I I don't know. I'm sure I have. I've probably done it to the two of you at some point. That's probably true. That is true. But it's uh Uh for you guys, it's always just been to be a little like mischievous, or I'm just trying to be contrarian for some dumb reason. Yes. Um, so I'm just defending something that I don't actually, you know, agree with.

SPEAKER_02

You have uh you have endless reserve for for like an argument or something where you like if you can see yourself being right in it, endless like energy for it.

SPEAKER_03

And uh yeah, I know some people who would agree with you. And uh I tend to not, right?

SPEAKER_02

Like if I feel strongly about something, I mean strongly, I'll probably keep going with it, but the average conversation thing, like I don't need to fight to the end to to be right. I'll just know I'm right, and then I'll just go, that's fine. You can do whatever you wherever your education is, I can't fix what that is.

SPEAKER_03

What if conceding to them being right has implications in the future? In the future for your life, comfort, confidence, whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I think it does. I think it does. Lately I've been trying to hang in there a little longer, but overall I won't be able to hang in. Like, there's people who've done it their whole life, just freaking fight to tooth and nail over small things. Yeah. I can't just I'll I'll always wear wear out before they do.

SPEAKER_03

But does it get to you like because there's an element to me that's like I don't want to say it's it's fun necessarily, but I could do that till I'm blue in the face, but it it's not escalating, I guess, my anger towards the other person. Like I might be frustrated, but um some people they just they keep arguing and then they they're not getting anywhere, so then the tactic changes and that's when they start saying names and getting aggressive and doing all that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I uh I I may know like one or two people who do that, but uh what I'm what I'm generally saying is even like light well, I guess you know, light debates I can kind of hang on a little longer, but overall, even uh even just a light debate going back and forth, I'm like, you know, I it at a certain point, after like 10 back and forths, it feels less about like here's my point to try to convince you, and here's your point to try to convince me, it becomes well, we just fundamentally don't b believe the same thing, and we're just gonna keep reiterating our side until one of us just stops. So when it when and off when since it's so often that's the case, then I just I just go, all right, that's good.

SPEAKER_03

I've never thought to be like uh we just fundamentally disagree and it's not gonna get anywhere, so what's the point? I've never I've never thought to say that I've never thought to say that because normally it it it means that okay, if we're going with your version of reality, then that means something. You know?

SPEAKER_05

Your version of reality.

SPEAKER_03

Right. Well that's what it is, because uh you wouldn't be ar neither one of you would be arguing unless you believed that that was real. Yes. If the other person is is wrong. So it's like it's the only otherwise I wouldn't give a shit.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you know, that's true. I think that's where I see like it's I I s I fast forward to like the future of the conversation, and I'm like, I don't care to be I don't care if this keeps going. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

You like to fast forward. I can uh want you to restart the last 60 seconds.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. I I I just don't think it's uh that important to uh to to reiterate at a certain point we're just at a fundamental uh uh disagreement. We're no longer stating points to try and convince the other person, you know, it's just yeah, it's not not yeah. So then I I I I wear out sooner.

SPEAKER_03

Right. Yeah, I I can uh I I've never thought to do that. You know, I'll always just New direction for someone to start restart the story with a new direction. When I uh argue I'm trying to win and I don't care who I hurt.

SPEAKER_02

I see the future of where the conversation's gonna go, and I just go I don't really care.

SPEAKER_03

I don't see where the conversation goes, I see where the dynamic and the relationship goes uh a week from now after um after this is over, and and uh so I see a lot more at risk, and that's why I fight so hard.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. You feel like there's a there's there's there's a there's a character at your your character is at stake when it comes to this.

SPEAKER_03

A little bit.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So so the stakes are high for you to win that conversation to win that discussion for that reason.

SPEAKER_03

I got your card. Wouldn't you agree, Steve?

SPEAKER_04

I guess not, but oh sorry, I don't really care for what you guys are talking about. That's why I got extra cards. Uh I haven't been listening for the past five minutes. Uh conflict doesn't interest me whatsoever. Uh but I'm getting better at addressing it. Uh like uh not running away from it, but uh it's not fun uh or interesting to me unless it's stakes or so.

SPEAKER_02

You say conflict. We were we're we're talking about disagreement. Do you lump that together? A disagreement is a conflict, yeah. So you you say, I like uh I think uh tacos are great, and someone goes, I'm not actually a big fan of tacos. Yeah, together that is both the disagreement and conflict. Yeah. Interesting. That actually I do believe that you believe that.

SPEAKER_04

I've been trying to go the opposite way. I want to see if I have a card that says uh change your attitude.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry, I stated something true. I know, I'm joking. Guy was clocked out for five minutes, and now I can't. I'm joking. First of all, he said conflict when we're talking about disagreement. Personality swap. All right.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, uh I I kind of go the other way with conflict where I've been trying to not get involved and de-escalate the conflict. Uh sorry, I was getting into character.

SPEAKER_04

Say that again.

SPEAKER_03

I've been trying to like when I see the argument or like when I see it might be coming, you're trying to not avoid it. There's certain ones where I am trying to avoid it. Like I said, uh I'm not gonna I won't rehash the whole thing on here, but Jess and I had uh the what do what does it mean when I say sure conversation. Right. And um I told her what I mean, and she d disagreed and doesn't like that and thinks that it's condescending. We've had that conversation.

SPEAKER_04

And you and you think you know women are irrational about and they uh and she had to be put in her place.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I mean, that's a odd thing to say, but uh I I just tried to be like, hey, when I say this, this is what I mean. And instead of accepting that that's what he means to be like, well, I want you to change the way you speak. And so we already had that conversation. That's separate. That was a while ago. And then the other day, we were driving somewhere, and I she's said, you know, do you like this neighborhood? And I said, sure. And it came up again, and there were like some there's just like little like it's uh she was just saying stuff, and I just kept driving and I just kind of just nodded. I didn't engage because I was like, I'm we're not gonna restart this argument. And so that was me like engaging. Well, that's a good idea.

SPEAKER_02

Happy life, happy, happy life, happy life. That's a bag of worms that you don't want to open.

SPEAKER_03

It yeah, it is it is a bag of worms.

SPEAKER_04

I feel that if a woman is talking and I'm behind the wheel, I get to decide what happens to her next.

SPEAKER_02

Now, that's not I wouldn't think I don't think that way. I think I think you should not do that. Women are their own people and they have their own thoughts and opinions that should be valued. Can I edit this one?

SPEAKER_04

I felt like I did a decent job getting edited part where I give you that card. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02

Um I feel like we can swap back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good.

SPEAKER_03

Amply successful. That was fun.

SPEAKER_02

Uh so uh the sure thing. She doesn't like that.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah, it's just one of those things that, like you said, like, all right, we're just not gonna agree on this. It's something I've said my whole life, so it's very difficult for me to just never say it again anymore. It's how I respond affirmatively a lot of times. Since we've had the conversation on here, I've used it in our conversation. It's just something I can't. It's it's hard to shake. Because it's I view it as like it's kind of a part of my personality, and it's as I've tried to explain, it's not I'm not trying to be uh condescending, and um but it's it's received that way no matter how much explaining I do, but it's hard for me to dial it back.

SPEAKER_02

Of course, yeah. I I I I feel like um So you saying sure?

SPEAKER_03

Would you say like if you're like oh we're driving past a park in Greenpoint? Like, do you like this neighborhood? Oh yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think I think we've addressed this before. We have but you have a sure that's very like it's the octave that he says it in. Yeah, sure. Okay, right. Like when you say like that, there's something on your mind. You don't you you don't hide well when there's something on your mind. Like you, it's very clear.

SPEAKER_03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02

Were you trying to get him? No, I wasn't. But there's it's very clear when something and it comes at comes to light pretty pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_04

Right. Yeah. And I think, you know, it's uh important that uh oh, I didn't say it yet.

SPEAKER_02

You just became a monkey and didn't say to do that.

SPEAKER_03

No, sorry, that was a sneeze.

SPEAKER_04

Anyway, um I think like how you handle conflict is important, and like many different species handle conflict in different ways, you know, like take monkeys, for example. It's it's word activated. I have to say it first.

SPEAKER_02

It's for a minute. So every time he's you say or the first time you say monkey, he hasn't been it. He has to be a monkey. Yeah. So you the way you say sure is one thing. Yeah, and I think also you have um you there's times where and this is something I admire about you too. There's some some things are very obvious to you where you don't even need to really uh like the there's you you have a lot of beliefs or a lot of um uh what's a what's a con con consumption? I don't know what the word is. Uh constitution. Conviction.

SPEAKER_04

Conviction in the stuff that you say. We get it at another ten seconds, but uh this isn't Caesar, you're a regular ape. Uh you make a good monkey. All right, you're good.

SPEAKER_02

I'll say this. Um let's just say you were single.

SPEAKER_04

I'm here to play the conflict game now. Or uh disagreement game now. I'm here.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, I think we're we're done with that one. But uh I have a so here's a question.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, separate.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Um if you were single, okay.

SPEAKER_04

I'm single in this. If you were. If I was single, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Uh uh someone uh who has transitioned identifies as a woman now, yeah, asks you out um you find them attractive, would you go on a date with them? No.

SPEAKER_04

Reverse. Oh no.

SPEAKER_00

Oh no. Whoever gets this card is on your side for money.

SPEAKER_02

All right, let's start the qu I had this conversation uh with with uh, I guess a lady on the date. Um I don't know, it was Michael Hughes.

SPEAKER_03

She asked you this? It's a tough question.

SPEAKER_02

I I uh she asked for what my hot take would be. And I knew that this would be a hot take to her. Super liberal of course, you know, like Williamsburg girl. And I was like, um I don't if I know, I don't know if I can.

SPEAKER_03

I'm with you. Yeah. But in the question, you see.

SPEAKER_07

In fact, uh, but that's it.

SPEAKER_02

I think obviously there, I I I I I will refer to to them the gender that and I do believe that that's the gender they are. Yeah um, and I respect that, but uh personally I I dating wise I can't the thing is is like you said, would you go like let's say you you see them, whatever, and you find them attractive, would you go on a date with them?

SPEAKER_03

You're already building in this uh this premeditated I feel like then of of course I would. Because and I don't believe you're because you're saying you're attracted to them, but there's still an element where you're like I can't so you're saying by me saying that I can't, then there is mentally still uh part that be that hasn't accepted fully.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because uh yeah, I guess it's like that's an odd concept to me of like I'm really attracted to you, but I just I can't um I don't think you're wrong about that. I think it's it's something that I can't, I just it's a bridge I can't cross. It's also similarly why it's a tunnel you can't go through. It's also why like it's like um I'm afraid to watch gay porn. You know? I think if I watch it long enough, uh the temperature's gonna rise.

SPEAKER_04

It'll move.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, or something.

SPEAKER_03

This is interesting. This is another argument that we've had. Argument? We've had that we've had this discussion, you've had it separately. I had it with I had it with Jess because she said that I think that she was trying to say the reason I don't watch it is because I'm afraid to watch it. Uh-huh. And I said I don't watch it because there's nothing in it for me.

SPEAKER_02

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

And that was one where But you're not grossed out by it. I don't do it because of the paywall. Uh I have sites where it's for free. It's another thing like your temperature, but for my temperature is this is uh this is upsetting to me. I don't want to watch this anymore.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it upsets you.

SPEAKER_03

If I watch prolonged guys banging each other, yeah, eventually I'm gonna be like, all right, what do we do? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Prolonged. What are we doing? Prolonged.

SPEAKER_03

Like if you're asking me after 20 minutes. Well, like if I'm watching the whole video, could I could I sit down and just watch gay porn? Sure, I couldn't. What if it's like in the background while you do do some work?

SPEAKER_02

Sounds on I wouldn't want regular porn on your making sourdough bread.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah. You're feeding the starter. I'm needing it. Yeah, I suppose any porn I wouldn't want on.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, exactly. It's more you're almost saying that it's just weird to just watch porn uh uh recreationally, right?

SPEAKER_03

To just sit there and have porn open is already I've seen gay porn before and I'm like, yeah, I don't like watching this. Yeah. Right. But it's not because I'm like, if we get to minute eight, I might turn.

SPEAKER_02

It's uh you know what I mean? There's something like that. Is that like the ring or something?

SPEAKER_03

Like I'm gonna get hooked or like something.

SPEAKER_02

Watch it in seven days.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

They come out of the TV.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, your pipes. Yeah, like I don't like listening to Screamo music. It's not because I'm afraid that if I hear an album, I'm gonna be their biggest fan. But you don't get angry watching it either. No. Right? No, I don't get angry watching it. I'm not like they shouldn't be.

SPEAKER_02

Right, right, right. I watch it and look, I'm 99% sure I'm gonna be fine. But there's a 1% part that's like, uh oh. Because sometimes the way they climb they climb. Like I watched one, my friends put this on one day. Climb. Uh there was like a fire truck, and um, there was a guy washing it with a sponge.

SPEAKER_05

And another guy shows up and he goes, You're washing your fire truck, huh? He goes, Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

All right, this I'll watch.

SPEAKER_04

This this ending in sex is crazy to me so far. Yeah, I've never gone up to someone cleaning anything and and gotten laid out. Going skiing? Those your skis? Both of them?

SPEAKER_02

He goes, uh yeah, I'm cleaning my fire truck. He goes, Yeah? Why don't you turn around? Turns around, and then he starts uh eating his ass, whatever. And then the and then all of a sudden he's uh like climbing up, he's trying to jump on the fire truck so he could be bent over. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04

And uh, and and then the guy's uh starts So when he's climbing, something about that.

SPEAKER_02

I think uh yeah, like this excitedness to get fucked. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I think that porn might be the laziest of the porn. Like in terms of just build up sip right through the story and get to it. Like there, there's no reason for any of what you clean your truck, right? Yeah. Well then I'll fuck you.

SPEAKER_04

That doesn't require all of your concentration, right? It's like there's no you only need one hand for a sponge.

SPEAKER_02

That's true.

SPEAKER_03

Straight porn tends to have like this there's sometimes there's usually like some sort of negotiation or bargain that's going on. Yeah. Because there's like a reason why we should or should not be doing this. It's usually one person is like convincing the other person that it's a good idea.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's a lot of what you get like so much.

SPEAKER_04

Something about saying there's usually like a negotiation, and you went, yeah. And then I I I uh all right. Uh the camera is my eyes, and and this is your head. And as soon as I looked at you, you went, you like me, you made eye contact with me. It's right after Yanna just got me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Which by the way, speaking of uh remember that song we were like, uh, and I was like, hey, yeah, what's going on?

SPEAKER_04

Four non blondes.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. The Bruno Mars I song I was referring to, uh, it's it starts that way, but uh a little bit, right? Um shit. I sent it to you guys.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I've got it.

SPEAKER_02

Um keep going.

SPEAKER_08

I was like, I can't.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not gonna be able to do it right. But my cousin sent me the name of it because he listens to the podcast. Shout out to Tommy. Shout out to Tommy. Tommy. We're locked out of hell. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So you can see how I connected it? Maybe it's the beginning of it.

SPEAKER_03

There's like a similar pitch.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I think.

SPEAKER_03

It's gonna get flagged. Yeah, we might be. Oh, yeah. This is like a much more choppy staccato version of hey yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that's not anything like it. I think they say hey and that's a good voice. I think that's the common that's fair.

SPEAKER_02

I'll take that. However, my cousin uh connected that without me telling him. He took it from just watching that. All right. So there's something there. Tommy Asian thing. Huh? Tommy.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I apologize, Tommy.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

Oh.

You know what probably sounds really good right now?

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_04

A nice hot shower. Clean yourself up. And imagine how good that water is gonna feel on your skin.

SPEAKER_05

There's a black lens in there. Is that a camera?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it is. I use that to record when women use the bathroom. But if you don't like it, I can turn it off.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, let's turn it off then.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_04

The way it bounces, I think it's ready to peel. It tastes salty.

SPEAKER_05

Living room.

SPEAKER_04

Well, here's your money. I was gonna have to peel some but have you peel some vegetables, but I feel like you've earned this.

SPEAKER_02

Thanks. Goodbye. Door open. Steven's neighbor Peter is walking by.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, hello. Good day for a bike ride. So sunny.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. See you later. Damn it. Oh, best card play of all time.

SPEAKER_04

Man, if if it saved a friend. I'm so glad I died so he could live. Happy Easter.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. That's you. That's when you're both running out of the place, and then you trip and you and he tries to help you go, no.

SPEAKER_04

I'm like, go without waiting. The scab's gonna get me, but it doesn't have to get you.

SPEAKER_02

That was disgusting. That was absolutely disgusting. And you're right. I did time it. I made sure the name was unisex, and then that we go past the first page.

SPEAKER_04

I say problematic things about homeless people. And then I quickly changed. I didn't do anything sexual to that woman. I just uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Uh what took you so long to play it? You it looked like you were uh debating in your head.

SPEAKER_03

Because I didn't know who to play it on, because last time somebody played that and you were like Well, he had it. You had it, and he knew how to make it still suck.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I switched me and him. I had it, and I knew I wrote stuff for me to have to say. And then he happened to bring the card that makes a switch.

SPEAKER_03

But I thought you're the one who played it. No, he played it on me.

SPEAKER_02

And I played it on him.

SPEAKER_03

I thought the whole thing was like you wrote yourself in a bad role, and then he played the card and it switched the two of you.

SPEAKER_04

No, he now he looked in the beginning of the episode, he was laughing and he goes, I got a card you didn't want me to get.

SPEAKER_02

And the irony of I happen to make something bad for me, and then he came and did that, and I was like, Well, then I have to play this, so then you get you get me. Now everyone said something bad on that one. Yeah. And bad is like we were talked about feet. Yeah, yeah, which is not even saying anything uh bad on that. It's just the ride that's really scary.

unknown

That ride we went off the track.

SPEAKER_02

To be fair. We did.

unknown

Scab was absolutely disgusting.

SPEAKER_02

What is worse? Saying the scab stuff, we're saying like, you know, racist stuff and then kid stuff. I think it's all bad.

SPEAKER_04

I guess the scab thing's the lesser of all those evils, to be fair.

SPEAKER_02

You do react a lot to grossness to like that one I felt in my throat.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, like very gross uh details. Detailed is uh is tough.

SPEAKER_02

A bouncing scab.

SPEAKER_04

Also the the black there's the black lens in there. That was really funny. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Exactly what you think.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I just use that to uh yeah, it's like you start to do the worst thing possible.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, oh no, I just I just use that to take pictures of women when they're going to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_04

He specifically said I had this play soundproof. Also, peel vegetables come to my soundproof window is home with a camera in the bathroom to peel vegetables, and they're always my name.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that was great. Well, what were you saying? You were about to say something.

SPEAKER_03

No, I was just saying I didn't know I didn't know which characters to switch because I knew that there was a possibility. Like I didn't immediately think to switch with you. Right, right. Because I was like, he could have the trap I set last time by accident. I was like, I don't know if I should switch us or us.

SPEAKER_02

You switch both you, you just lateral move.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Tell a sad story while keeping a permanent smile. When I was uh five, my parents I stayed in the same moot room as them. Um they had a bed, and then I slept on a bedroll on the ground. And uh one night uh I I they went to bed. It's such a painful and then uh I heard uh I heard sounds in the bed and then screaming from my mom. And then I was wondering what it was, so I said, What mom, are you okay? And she said, Shut up. And then that night they had sex and I heard all of it and then uh uh what it's going away. It's going away and then the morning of I just see her putting on her bra and uh I was afraid to wake them up again or say anything again from that point on.

SPEAKER_03

I've never seen that smile before.

SPEAKER_02

How am I supposed to smile?

SPEAKER_03

Okay, oh you were like yeah, and then I went to the the You were you were teeth clenched.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I've never seen you clenching like that.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not a good smile. And you would lose it and then try to like gain it back tenfold, you'd be like, yeah, and then I you'd like rev up and I heard everything.

SPEAKER_02

It's hard to, I guess, you know. Let me try to two years ago my grandfather died, and yeah. Already much better.

SPEAKER_04

Already much better.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he uh I didn't really know him that well, and so I wasn't really emotionally connected to it, but I did have to see my entire family cry and it was hard to be in that room with them.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know why you just seem gay right now. Like I'm just getting a gay guy. I think if you were gay, you would just smile more. I think that would be the only difference. I'm uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_02

Uh but yeah. Anyway, so that was hard. It's hard to do it. It's hard to do a smile when you're told to smile. You know, like when people take your photograph.

unknown

Yes, I have a hard time posing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Should I have said uh tell a sad story in the happiest way you can?

SPEAKER_02

No, I think that's a that's a great it's a great prompt. It's just a me thing.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

Can I let me see your headshot pose? Or someone goes, pose right now for a photo.

SPEAKER_03

I'll tell you this is I had a headshot uh photographer come in to one of our uh classes in our final year, and this is the advice he gave. And it always seemed like if you're getting a headshot, um number one is like stick like kind of your head out a little bit further than might seem natural. Just like a little bit because it'll it'll it'll center your face and keep that kind of the fore as opposed to like if this is all just on one plane, pushing your head slightly forward. And then the other advice he gave was uh like they're kind of taking pictures the whole time, right? And he said a good way to kind of reset your face is uh is like kind of look down and then look into the camera, and as soon as you come up, take a picture. So it would be like this if you're the lens.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, take a picture.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, relax.

SPEAKER_04

Alright, let's all do it into the camera on on three. Okay. Ready?

SPEAKER_03

All right. Oh, there it is. Well, yeah, that would be that's like the advice that he gave. But I think it's different now. Yeah. Because that was back when I was trying to get like actor fucking headshots and stuff. Now I think it's you gotta have a good rapport with the photographer. And I think have like genuine conversation like helps you to have a natural smile. Because a lot of times they'll they're trying to be funny to get you to laugh, and then if you laugh, you'll hear like brrrrrr, and they take a thousand photos.

SPEAKER_04

Well, we did one liner madness. Uh, you were there, but we went in the back to get our photos taken, and the headshots came out, and he and I are doing the exact same pose. I thought you I I didn't see yours, but I thought yours looked great.

SPEAKER_02

Wow. There's a lot of people complimenting. There's a lot of people complimenting yours.

SPEAKER_03

And the funny thing is to see mine, they have to see yours first.

SPEAKER_02

They have to go buy mine to see you.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. I I yours was the only one I've saw. I've seen. Oh and your story. Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's a why. But um Well, this is uh our time. You add your thing.

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna say, did did you not like the ways your yours came out?

SPEAKER_02

I think I actually was jealous of how you looked and yours. Really? I think your face has a lot of life to it. And me and me, it looks like I'm trying to be normal. But you you're like, hi, I'm Steve.

SPEAKER_04

That's that's who I am. That's good.

SPEAKER_02

Well, by the way, one time I got uh uh we'll tell this another time. I my buddy Amani, he uh he he wanted me to order AirPods for him from the Apple store. And so I I ordered it for him and then I didn't tell him, but I made an engraving on it that says I am Amani. And then when he got it, he uh posted to a group that he goes, I think I know you think this is funny, but just so you know, I have to use these every day, and it's not it's not cool. And I thought it was hilarious because his name is Amani and to carry around something that says that you are that person.

SPEAKER_00

Why was he so upset? Yeah, why is he upset?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, but it made me fun. It was funnier because he was so mad. That's also part of the reason I did. I knew that I would upset him.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah. Doing something that over time I'm sure he got over it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Uh doing that kind of uh needling is fun.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, and it's so kind of innocuous like harmless, yeah, but I it's upsetting to that person, yeah, is worth it.

SPEAKER_04

I would love to do to nail that where it's something that annoys someone in the moment, but then when I die, they would uh see it and miss me.

SPEAKER_03

That's why I've hidden three things in your home. And when they start to smell.

SPEAKER_08

Well, that is this tweak Are people still listening?

SPEAKER_02

Goodbye, everybody. Based on the numbers now. Yeah.
