much like you don't have your parents are hanger in.

you're paying.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Rent for I remembere.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
She's a single mother and she's making paying her bills
through stand up comedy.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, maybe I could tell you for a fact that.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
She's giving you know, she's getting drink tickets like ell.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Maybe she had a trust fund and she could do
whatever she wanted with her money.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, and that's her money, her money. Her grandfather invented
fence at all, and now she's doing this. Her grandfather
started the Iraq war, and now.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
She's do.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
When we most listened to the Taylor Lorenz episode and
at some point you're like she's talking about an event.
You're like, was Hactua there? And she's like no, and
you just go very earnestly.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
She's so trashy.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I think you have that and you're doing this. You're
doing this now with the butthole comedian. It's undercrent of like,
you know, just wanting everything to be respect.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know who Mike Francessa is. Do you guys know who?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Hilarious, Okay, So in New York Sports Radio is just
like this is this dying relic of like these guys
that don't really exist in New York anymore. They're all
on Long Island, like they're all addicted to backpills.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
They're all like leave for they're on leave for police brutality. Basically, yeah,
have you ever done governors in Levitt Town, Long Island. No,
it is the best.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's the best place to do stand up ever because
the combination of drunk and like into it and just
like sixty five.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
IQ totally well, you can kill them, you could kills.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
What's tough with people with crimes like that is like
when people get loose enough that you're just in heaven,
that's amazing, But so often it can curdle into anger.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Don't you think that, Like you say, that's Philly. I'm
telling you. These guys just want to like they really
they're they've been calling into New York Sports Radio all
day and being.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Like there's too many blacks on the jets and like
you know, they're like I don't know what they're doing
with their lives. They're addicted to opioids, sure, but like
they just want to have a nice night, right, But
like there's this guy, Mike Francessa, who's just this relic.
Like basically the way sports are spoken about is like
it's it's it's so stupid because it's like it's two

(08:02):
men having an intellectual style like debate about about something
that's so meaningless, like that we fill our lives with.
It's like the way I fast forward to being dead.
I just sit there and watch it.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
And well I was gonna say drag Race, but yes,
and drag Race.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I've seen a little bit of that. It's not it's not.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
I watch girl stuff too, and I watched girl gays.
What girl gay stuff?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Gay stuff? What girl gay stuff?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I mean Sex and the City is like one of my.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well yeah, because you you see it with your girlfriend, right,
And yeah, well no, no for a straight.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Guy, like you're like, oh, babe, I don't want to
watch girl stuff, but in your mind you're like I'm
trying to.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
And then You're sitting there, You're like, why is she
wearing Aiden's bring on a necklace? She's not serious about.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
This fucking relationships. She wasn't serious.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
And then they brought Aiden back for It's crazy, bro.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Don't get me. So were you upset about the quality
even just like that.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well they could have beg back because well, well, but.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
So you think it was a conspiracy, like they knew
that the allegations were coming out.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Finish their's the point that was just a little like
Easter egg for the one guy who knew what I
was talking about. He went on a rant this year
about the Mets having a throw out the first pitch
and he's like, she gets famous, she has no class,
she said a trashy comment, and now the Mets they
have this girl, And it was like it was the
day that they had all the New York City summer

(09:28):
camps come visit, and he was just incensed that Hucktua
was throwing out the first pitch in front of the kids.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
I mean, I'm sorry, but like what Huktua refers to
as her.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Spitting on that fitting on that thing. Yeah, and you're
doing that in front of kids.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
No, she's throwing out a pitch.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Well, yes, I know, but then the amplication is like
I give blow jobs.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
And also when they like when the lower third comes up,
is it like I bet you know talk to a
girl like.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, you're at that version.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's like the sports guy being mad about hawk to
a girl that the day version.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Of that is like a seventy five year old man
from Long Island.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Well yes, but then gay guys are like watching them
just like that, being like, you know, they have a
different costume designer now and that dress is fucking trash.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Uh yeah, well I kind of like, honestly, I'm gay.
I'm gay about it totally.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I know the seasons where Carrie looks good. I know
the seasons where she yeah, she's a friend, she looks
like she.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was dragged through a bush well.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Early versus straight hair she can't have she can't have
straight hair, and.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yet she keeps having it, and yet she keeps.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Having no know, what's really nice about the new show
is that the plastic surgery that Charlotte had is like,
if Charlotte was real, she would have had that past.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
How cool is that?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I would say that's true for all of them, because
then Miranda, who has had way less work done.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Of course she's a lawyer. She's more serious. She would
not have had as much work as she said.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
She's so selfish.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I mean, like, listen, she as a character Cynthia what no, No,
I don't know her, like what she did with Steve.
I mean I am oh, yeah, she's completely selfish.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I'm like a guy who's deaf in like accident, like
doesn't realize my wife is a lesbian.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I'm like, what's going on? I love you?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, I don't have patients for people who like hold
it in for so long and then blow up. It's like,
why didn't you tell me day to day that I
was that you weren't unsatisfied and also tried to change.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
You were like you had your whole thirty Like whyn't

jenes in his like in his Harry Potter like wand
store collection. He's like, I've got you and he's like
and he throws it at her and it's just.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
I'm gonna have to get that record.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I know.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'll tell you but I'm not gonna let any of
these freaking jackals. No, that's good, that's I don't even
live in Athens.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, but it's overrun by tourists. And I actually like
regret ever recommending anything to anyone. And I'm no longer
even inviting people to stay with us. You just recommended
it's a shirt that show they live.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
In Athens, in a suburb of Athens. It's not.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
But but my grandmother lives in the center of Athens,
and like what my whole life was sort of a
middle class neighborhood and it has now become bushwick.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
I tell you. She's like, is what it's called. It's
very it's close to it. It's a short, it's a oh,
that's the one.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
It's like up like a little bit like there's like, no,
it's no, it's.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Like it's it's sort of close to scan, close to
all those like yeahah, but she, like you know, she's
used to like her community. She goes to farmer's mark
or whatever. Now she leaves her apartment. It's like digital
nomads on their laptops DJs.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's like Berlin.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
I was thinking that about the immigration thing, Like it's
so unfair, like it's such a bad trade, like Mexico
sends over like people that like work so hard they
do like the worst thing.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, and we sent over creative directors saying out like
Emily in Paris is crazy like crazy, it's like.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
The worst trade, like we said, they said over nice
guys that are just trying to like make more money
for their family. It's really not. It works so hard.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, it's also like they the expanation is they're assimilating,
whereas Americans are going and opening a banana republic, like
they're doing the opposite of assimilating. They're like building America
in Mexico City.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, it's like a big store.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, like a bagel store.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Okay, to go to him just like that again.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Oh yeah, as you still as two girl gay things
that you like. Oh well I got well, so when
you go to Europe like I just went to go
to Europe, definitely girl. Well that's very good.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Okay. Can I ask you guys a question, why are
you guys so good at Airbnb? Like running it gay guys? Well,
did you know incredible vacation like picking the right one
or picking the perfect place with the best the best view,
the best location.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh yeah, why are gay guys good at vacation?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
You guys are incredible.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's true.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
My girlfriend's like best friend from growing up who's gay, And.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
I like that you whispered that.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, he's like he's he's just he said right at
the end of our week in Marsell that he was like,
he's like, I just got invited to Capri and he like,
I'm like, You're going on a second vacation in a row.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
I'm like, that's incredible. I feel bad about one vacation. Well,
I feel guilty.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
There's like almost a disease where you have to be
on vacation, Like the moment you stop, you start to crumble.
It just sounds happy. It sounds like you guys are
just happy.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean there's an extent no, but there's also a toxic,
sort of competitive thing with it. It's like it's honestly,
it's no to be honest. It's the same thing as
like so often straight guys we have on this podcast.
We'll say, like what is it like to be more
loose about sex or whatever, or like be all the
relationships are open and all this stuff, And it's like,

(17:29):
on the one hand, it's obviously very liberating. But on
the other hand, when nothing is off the table, you
spend your entire day looking at people on the map
and being like, Okay, well if I go this, if
I go in this direction for three blocks, then that's
faster than if I go in that direction for five
I mean in the meantime, In the meantime, you've watched
three films with your girlfriend and made a delicious blonas

(17:51):
at home.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
I don't even like having sex anymore.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Like if you make a nice dinner and we put
on a girl show, we fall to sleep on.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
The count's that's so romantic. Yeah, that's that's love to me. Okay,
but I got a little leather bracelet.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Every time you go to Europe with your girl and
you're like, you look so good on vacation.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
She looks so good.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're on a beach, and then I'm like, I'm gonna
do something slightly like what about a tiny leather and
I'm gonna come back from.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
My I think it looks great.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Is the equivalent of like getting a Cordon rose in Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
You should actually do that, You should do that would
But you know what you're describing, though you're you're describing
the first aid is of becoming Steve, which is your
biggest fear. You're saying, I don't even like he is Steve.
Oh you you are embracing Steve your Burger too.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Burger is my favorite carry boyfriend. How come because he's
probably a better writer than her. She's writing some horror book, right,
he's probably David Foster Wallace.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
No one cares. Yeah no, And actually everyone like gives
him so much shit about the post it when I
told her I had her on the show. I told
her that, and everyone's like, fuck Steve. Well, I'm like,
he's the cutest one.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Can we be real?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's not.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Ron Living said we love you.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
You're talking about Oh Burger or.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh uh you?

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Burger is the don't think he's there?

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah he is. Whould you like big? Like? Oh you
like ARMANI suit kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
I sort of do. And I think my show this Burger,
I'm a Burger. Yeah, but where's Burger at fifty five?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
He's like a suburban father Burger's.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
I'm all I'm saying is it must be so you
can First of all, you can't date someone else in
show business. Right, he's bound to fail, but he's definitely
a better writer than well, guess what, it wasn't so annoying.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
This is what's frustrating about. Its way more successful for her,
fucking her fucking column. Yeah, he's like, he's like, I
went to the Iowa Writers Workshop, studied under Kirk. It's
doing nothing for me.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Well, yeah, but that is.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
The characters are becoming the actors also, Like it's like
Sarah just Parker likes to read a lot. That's like
her whole thing. You know, she's a friend. So then
it's like, okay, well now Carrie has to actually be intellectual,
and it's like no, no, no, no, no, no no. She was
always supposed to be sort of a trash.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Right, she's a dumbass. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
I mean she's riding a sexually perverse column.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, but she's also the biggest prude you've ever seen.
Every every don't get me started, every column, every column
is literally her being like I can't know, I don't know,
I'm going to church.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah. So wait, when you say Sara just Parker is
a friend, what do you mean, Well, she was on
the pod show, But I just think I did a
good job. Yes, actually, like you're not like friend one episode?
What what?

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
No?

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Her son was like a big comtown fan. So that's
but I was like walking in the street and I
heard Adam, I love your work, and I was like,
I turned around.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I was like, oh, it's just like that. Wait, that's
was like Carrie, it was the great I called my sister. Yeah, no,
that's huge.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
I was like, you are not going to mother.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
And she came up to you. That's shocking.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
She was like waiting, uh for the for the jitney
in East Hampton.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Okay, she said on the show she was.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Waiting for a bush.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't want to call out a friend. She's the
people's princess, dude, She's the almost princess of the Hampton's.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
She's kind of like she's yeah, well I asked her
about this.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
It is interesting because like some of the most useless
people in the world moved to New York. Yeah, like
because they wanted to be her, right, Yes, I.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Mean so she is sort of you know, there's something
interesting happening here where she is to like people like
women that moved to New York to be fabulous, to
like like, do you feel that like Cometown had that
influence on like thank.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
God, nice good question, very good good.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
I think in retro i've I didn't really we didn't
listen to it at the time. We thought it was bad,
and then I think, uh, YouTube, there's like fan clip compilations.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
It was mad funny some Yeah. I had no idea.
We were like this is dog shit. We were like
depressed about lunch. It was like popular before the clip compilations, right. No.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
I think that's how it got popular because we like
Nick had like a no talking to the no press policy.
Really yeah, yeah, because and I think he was smart
because like eight years ago it was like every article
was like a but yeah, yeah they're Nazis.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, so can I actually asked you about that?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
This is like okay, So we did not listen to Cometown,
not because of any personal thing, just because we spend
all our time with comedians, So we don't want to
listen to a comedy podcast that I don't a podcast, Yeah,
like you don't want to like why would I listen
to like a more.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Comedians from I don't ye.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
And so sports and so, and we are friends with
Stove and like really love him and from Old country, Yes,
and he's like the sweetest guy. And then we would
go online and it would become like Cometown would be
like a synonym for like.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Dirt what is it dirt bag, like for like for
like the war.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It's like, oh my god, these depraved guys who say
slurs all.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Everything was shock. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
I think in retrospect it was like nice that we
were like we were voting for Bernie totally. We also
made cheeky jokes. Yeah, I think it was kind of
nice for kids, right, Like.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
No, I do think it was.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
It was a children's show.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Yeah, I mean it's literally it was three thirty year
old menhaving like eleven year old sleep like yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Like but it Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
But then I think on the other side of things,
then people tried to almost overcompensate for that and be like, no,
they are actually the way forward for the political left.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's like, well, that's also.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Well now there's yeah, there's three articles that came out
that said I'm like that I know how to read
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, Joe Wrogan on the left, how do you feel,
how does that feel to be like going serious mode
being due serious?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Yeah, if I'm the best they got like, fascism is over,
America is done.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, for sure. They're trying to platform me. They're saying,
you're going John Stewart mode.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, you're going John Stewart mode.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
What's up? That's what they're all saying. You know, what
the funk I'm talking about? I mean, like, I listened
to audiobooks. Last book I read with my eyes with
Harry Potter eight.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Probably that's not that's not true.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Reading with my Oh no, beach read.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yeah, like I read like the first twenty five pages
of I tried flow Bear on this last trip.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, Oh that's really diving into the deep end,
because if you read Harry Potter, don't go flow bear.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Maybe start with the Sally.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Okay, I listened about presidents in history.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Oh oh one of those guys.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah, presidents? Yeah, that checks out.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's cool.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, So what's you who's your favorite president?

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Well, the characters? Who the best like writing? Or who
the best president?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I think I think best character? Who's the most nomadic?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Nixon? Oh yeah, that makes sense because you're like a
bad girl. He's not a bad girl. He's a fucking
he's like insane.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
He No, he's not he's a he's his whole life.
People are like, fuck you.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
His whole life, Like, yeah, his whole life.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
They're like, oh, it's fucking Richard Nixon. Like he kept
running for things and losing.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, oh damn.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
You know how he courted his wife, This is my
favorite thing. He was like, okay, you kind of you
want to go out with me? And she was like,
uh no, you're Richard Nixon. You're disgusting. And he was like, well,
can I chaperon you on dates? And then for eighteen
months he like took her out with other.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Guys, watched her and other fucked up. First writing first,
that's amazing. It was like the first interesting first president,
first cuck president. I don't know, kuk. I mean like
he's watching, he's literally watching her.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
And then like a poor handsome guy beats him because
he cheated.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, like jfk. Everyone just his whole life. Richard Nixon's here.
Do you think it's possible We've talked about this before,
people that just like have an inherently bad energy to them.
Do you think it's possible to fix a person with
a bad vibe?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Oh that's a deep quest. I mean I think you
are who you are.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Kind of damn, do you think people really change? This
is a whoa no.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
But but seriously, because because the ever really change.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Classic thing is like, Okay, if someone is sad or
if someone is unhappy, you can tell them okay, go
to therapy, and that is a way you can change.
But if but if it's more exactly like if you
have a bad vibe, your therapist is not gonna admit
that to you, like you need a doctor to diagnost

(26:46):
do like a vibe transplant where it's like.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Is that a real thing?

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I don't know it should be.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Sometimes you're just always Richard Nixon, that must he made
it to the fucking show.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
He made it all way to the top and then
they took it away. So how no thing is normal
to spy on the other campaign?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I have to say them like that. I'm like, oh no,
you're totally right.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And then after he left he was like the shame
people that got Jack kenneredy got me, but like they
can't kill you anymore.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
No.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
The reason water Gate has loomed so large is just
because it like it serves to validate so many American mythologies,
like the brave journalist, the deep throat job a blow job,
sort of like the idea that like there's no place
for corruption in America, the idea that the office of

(27:38):
the President is really respectable, Like it's not.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
It's it's like a story. It's like story Time.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Also has a punchy title Watergate. I'm like, whoa what
happened there? That's serious?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, dude, speaking of RP Robert Reverd most handsome guy ever?

Speaker 3 (27:55):
For real? Shout all moved up one spot? Right, Yeah,

Speaker 1 (28:00):

Speaker 3 (28:03):
John Fetterman, Wait, should we do should we like do
our segment?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah? Yeah, we gotta should do our first segment actually
use straight people. We'll get to that a little bit
like mangolo.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Right, Well, it's a little study you in a lab.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Look, it's we've gotten easy on y'all.

Speaker 1 (28:24):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Not gonna be Yeah, this is what we're doing now,
this is not gonna this is stupid.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
So our first segment is called straight Shooters. And then

rapid fire questions justly this thing or this other thing,
and you have to choose one and the only rules.
You can't ask any follow up questions or we'll scream. Okay, yeah,

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Oppositional defiance, just like total yeah. Yeah, no that I
don't like games.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
My girlfriend likes active using games?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Are we scooping the sort of married? Yea to each other?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yea to our husband's mazzleto how long have you guys
been married? We both got married this calendar year together?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Like, is that crazy?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
No, it's competitive, dude, gay being gay is like capitalism. No,
it's it's survival that sometimes it is. Sometimes it is.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
When you're saying you're looking for blocks on a on
an app, that's so complicated.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
No, I know, I know it's but guess what it's
like too much work? But if you're but don't you think?
But is that is the blocks thing?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Okay? Cox?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Context? Map?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Is that more or less capitalists than Tinder? Where it's
like bio your self branding, swipe left, swipe right. To me,
that's more toxic than blocks on a map?

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Is it like that?

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Though?

Speaker 4 (29:49):
I don't know I'm thirty eight, so.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah, but you how long you online?

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Kids don't fuck anymore? I think so.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
They say it's so weird because they're like they keep
saying that in the mic and a half years. How
do I prove it? Because like, I'm not gonna I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
The whole kids don't fuck is talk about like a
difference between straight and a gay young gig.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Guys to stay at home for two years.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Young gay guys are fucking young.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
Gay guy yeah, because they're happy.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, So I just don't relate to that. I know.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
For us, it's just like I'm never gonna understand a girl,
but I'm gonna try as hard as I can my
whole life.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Wait, get as close as I can. Okay, I fully understand.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
This is kind of beautiful, kind of okay, it's romantic.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
No, there's something to it. There's something lovely about it,
Like I'm like, what are you talking this? God?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
This is so the idea that it's more romantic to
never understand one another well, because I think we understand
each other too, not you and I, but like, hey,
you guys understand each other too well because it's like
everything is the same and I can if I wanted
to hurt my husband, the sentences.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Get I think we all hurt each other. I think
it's more like I almost think the romance of the unknowing.
It's sort of like like if you like want to
have sex, you can just be like, hey, like let's
have sex now, And it's like like gay guys can no,
oh you guys, and like straight people you can never
do that. I have to be allowed to.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
You have to like try to be able to find
the paperwork.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
No, she has to go to the d I'm allowed to. Yeah,
it's fine. I like the system, no, of course.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Yeah, it's too like variable, like if if I know
the evil in the other person, if I understand the evil,
then I like I'm trying to study, Like oh.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Wait, if you understand the evil in the in the woman,
you know the.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Evil in me? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yeah yeah, So what about like you know, like listen, like, uh,
how do I put it? I think gay sex is
the purest form of recreational sex.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Sure, sure, right, yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Think about it, like the most egalitarian you mean, and
the most like exactly the most the most communication there
can possibly be where each person gets exactly what they're
going in to get.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Every girl has different sex.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know that, but would you say at every girl
has different I didn't know that and you know that,
And do you think all guys have the same sex?
So every girl has different sex, all guys have the
same sex. That's like me, come yea, it's kind of true.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
It's kind of simple. But so you're saying you can't
when you date a new girl.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
It's just like you have to figure out a new thing.
And you're like, all right, but some people.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Like you like them. You you want to figure.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
It out and you want to be a nice boy
to them.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
I think my problem is I'm in like natural flirt
because I'm very close with my mother, right, and she
was way more beautiful than my dad.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
And I was like, how dare this bastard deserve this angel?
And I'm her perfect man? Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
I saw my ninety four year old grandmother in March.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, no, uh.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
No, I I saw a grand yes at her birthday
and she she touch my arm and I felt myself
like flex.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
And I'm like, why am I trying to see buff
for a ninety four year old lady?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, that's because you wanted to be proud of you.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I just want every lady to think I'm like just the.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Good boy of course.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I can't see a therapist.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's a girl. What am I gonna tell my secrets?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (33:18):
I can tell a guy like I'm terrible, I'm awful.
Everyone hates me, but I got that. But if a girl,
I'm gonna be like.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Oh, you're gonna want to impress her. That's the issue. Naturally.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yes, there's something so Mike penscoded about all this. Mike
Pants is a freak that calls his wife mother. You're like,
I can't be in the same room with a woman.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, yeah, you're in the same room as a woman.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I loved girl shows. They have great stuff in the bathroom,
they have products. No, you can be in their home.
They could do skin care. I don't know if you're
allowed to be in there with them.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
No, it's so nice to be around them. They want
to do skincare.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Don't you think that a face woman therapist would be
better for you because you'd be trying so hard to
impress her that you would improve as a human being
to tell all the other.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Girls, see, No, that's true, that's true. Fool, me one.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
I mean that is what gets with their group.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
And then literally watch the do you watch warna who

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yes, it's like it gets.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Closer, that goes closer and closer to zero, but never hit,
never hits That's what a straight relationship is. Why because
you'll never hit zero, You'll never never know one another?
Yeah you would.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
I mean like, it's I'm using your language.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
You just said, well, because it's a girul right, Like
it's just like, uh, it's like but it's like it's
really special.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Is the issue that girls are complicated or just that boys.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Are things that don't make sense. They're different and they
say things that don't make sense. Say are you okay?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
They're like I'm fine, and you're like are you sure?

Speaker 1 (39:16):
They're like, I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
And then three days later they say the thing and
he's like, why do you tell me.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Three days ago? But you're like, you shout up now
that thing and I'm like, there's no way I could
have known that thing. But you never say I'm fine,
like in a passive aggressive way. You're never like if
you're always like being moody and I tell you what
with this? With us guys, maybe it's just my boys.
All of us are like I just want to talk
about my feelings more with her.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
You're all like the bros, all like the the stereotype
of like the guy coming back from the factory and
be like.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Uh, like, why do we always have to talk about feelings?
It's it's the it's them now, I think it's us.
We're like I just want to open up, and I
think it's what Maybe it's because we stop domestic abuse
or something. I don't know. Yeah, that's that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
That was really cool.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
No, I think it's because like maybe our grandfathers were
about to open up before they just uh like either
were like when I was four, but like I had
a trauma and then they're.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Like, yeah, that's not funny. Cut that please the anger.
Whereas but do you feel like.

Speaker 1 (40:25):

a fucking idiot.

Speaker 1 (42:01):

Also, she found the ring like twelve times. It's like
it wasn't that big as a surprise. All right, she
got it more than once.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
That's crazy. You need to be better at hiding things whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
I can't. Did she tell you or did she like
pretend she never found us?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
She's like haha, And then I started crying. I was like,

should propose to do something cute.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
I was like fuck.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
I was like okay, So I'm like, we'll do it
at the countdown. So I called her friend and I
was like, can you just find a fun place and
where I could like we can'd do kiss and then

I was like yeah, and like that could be.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I've been so badly behaved all night and stressed out,
It's like it wouldn't. And then she said something to
me that was so emasculating. It was so like it
made my like penis go into my body, she said,
She's like, and it was so nice.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
It was so she was so nice.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
She was like, well it didn't work out tonight, but
like you can try like another time. And I was like,
thanks many and be like I was like, let's just
go home, and then yeah, and then at the end
of the next day, I was like I felt like
such a loser all day and that She was like,
she was like, yeah, you're terrible at plans. That's why

(48:24):
I make all the plans. And you can plain that.
I that you're never allowed to make a plan. But
like one time in Paris, I was like, can I
choose one restaurant? And she was like, fine, go ahead,
choose a restaurant. I chose one. Literally we we left
like we got our from the appetizer. I'm like, this
is a stinky doodoo poo poo.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Place somehow, like I found the worst restaurant in parents
And she's like, you're useless at plans. I'm like, I know,
I thought I could could do one plan.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
This story it is literally like ari Astra level.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
It's stress.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
It's like so so then when you did propose, and
I was like what it was like in private?

Speaker 1 (49:05):
It was account when was it? Like?

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, say so?

Speaker 4 (49:08):
I was like, She's like, why do you fucking ask me?
She's like, you think I would have liked New Year's kiss?

Speaker 1 (49:12):
And I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
I think you know what. She's like, I don't have Instagram.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
She's like, I'm not like a girl that gets my
nails done for She's like, just fucking ask.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Me, you idiot, Like, well, but I think it's such
a guy thing to project onto a girl that she
wants a New Year's proposal. It's like a guy who
it's a guy's fantasy.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Of what a girl wants.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Yeah, totally, because we don't understand that, right, but well
you don't try.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
But then there's also this weird like almost imagining them
as children or something like it's like.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
I don't know, for some girl that would have worked,
but not definitely not my girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
H and who you who you know?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Who you know quite well clearly and have like a
meaningful relationship.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
And that you guys would know that.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
None of her friends were helpful. I'm like, I'm just confused.
The plane itself, like I'm not trying to be. I
know you're being sard on yourself a right, but I mean.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Here's a simple, you can't fuck it up plan, right. No,
I think that she would have liked it if it
was in the context.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Did you had you chosen a party to go to
because New Year's famous friend in me who lived there
just I was like, just find a place, and then
she just didn't find and then she got.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Hammered by like nine fifteen, she'd blackout.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I'm confused by the venue mattered so much because like,
no matter what in theory, you would have been at
a fun place at midnight, but we.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Were in a living room with crackheads.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Okay, here's my idea, Like the Adam.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Freedland show, kareingos who moved to our country and ruined
it Mexico.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
No, what if as you were walking from one I mean,
there's no way to repeat the experience. As you were
walking from one venue to the other, you were like, uh,
you sort of did a you were like, hey, can
I talk to you alone for a second, and it's
like it's the middle of the night, you're outside.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
I'm imagining that Mexican behind She like.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I just got her. I just got a text. Can
I just talked to you for a second. She you're
setting expectation because she thinks like someone died. And then
you go behind a tree and you propose.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, that sounds really nice.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah, and then it's like how romantic you're like alone,
That's what I'm thinking, Like, wow, place in a loud
night place all night.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
I don't want to Like I thought, like if you're
on a dance floor and everyone it's loud and no
one's paying attention to anyone else and it's dark, you're
watching it just like kiss and then of.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Course, but do you think it's like it's kind.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Of nicey, but like the handoff, I'm confused, Like you
keep doing this as if you're like just passing to
her then like running away.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
No, I'm just passing it to her, and she's like,
oh thanks, but we're not.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
There's no like crowd, right, there's it's kind of like
you're around a lot of people and it's fun.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
You're just like a great environment. You're stealing a ring.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
I'm pitching an idea that was a failure.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Okay, so obviously it was a failure and started to
pylon obviously as.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
Also she was like, Adam, you know New Year's always sucks,
And I'm like, yes, I don't know, so that's every year.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
No, that's fair, that's it's just such a risky thing
to choose the most sorry to use this word, chaotic
night of this year.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Her friend was supposed to It's her her friend's fault.
I was so mad at her friend.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
I was like, you threw Yeah. She's like laughing in
my face. She's like, this is funny because she gets
funny if she laughs when she's nervous. She's like, really,
this is gonna be such a good story.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
And honestly it was listeners. I mean also it was
a good story. Comment below.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
It was so stressful, but like it was nice, like
when we talked the next day because she was like
she's like, Adam, you're useless at plans.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
She's like, this is just why she's you're lucky to
be with me.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
And guess what, she knows you. That's like, that's a
sign she knows you. Like it's kind of so us,
isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:47):
So true. So when it comes to wedding planning, are
you going to have any input at all.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
No, I mean pretty much know but whatever its, it'll
be great. Of course, it'll be so fun.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
She So she mentioned via your story that you sometimes
get frustrated that you're not allowed to make plans. Has
Is that still something you're frustrated by or or you're
like learning to learning to let go in that way?

Speaker 4 (53:15):
No, Well, I think what a relationship is is that
it's like two different people. Okay, Like one person like
spends a lot of money, one person is thrifty.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Right, sure, it's a balance.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
That's who the people are. And then you know that
you're different and you try hard to like compromise, but
you're gonna fuck up along the way. So it's just
like you can't expect things to get fixed.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
But if you love the person, keep going. If you
love the person, you're.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Doing that thing that girl does or she laughs when
she's nervous, a.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Very sincere thing that there's something about the story where
I'm like, was that girl you like? Was this a
fight club situation? It was Tyler dirt? It was Tyler dirty.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
Was yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Gonna work? Fucked it up?

Speaker 4 (54:01):
I thought it was gonna work.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
I thought it was gonna work. I thought it was
gonna work.

Speaker 1 (54:05):

been like that that'll work. We find me right now.

Speaker 2 (54:10):

I know, being.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
A party that you don't know what it will be like.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Her friend was supposed to find it.

Speaker 2 (54:21):

what do you guys do?

Speaker 4 (54:25):

Speaker 3 (54:39):
I actually did proposed, like fully proposed.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Yeah, in the classic sense you wanta tell yours?

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Was it a shock?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
We had talked about it in a general sense, so
we both knew it was gonna happen like in the
next I don't know calendar year, but it.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Sounds like a board. Were you board? No?

Speaker 2 (54:54):
But actually the proposal itself was a shock in a
way that I didn't expect. Really like, yeah, he was
like really really happy and like it was very romantic.
He's also like he I think the implication, generally speaking,
was that he would be the one to propose because
he is older and like more of a planner.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Honestly like it. It was sort of impressed that I
got it together to do him you. Yeah, yeah, I
like that, and I think that.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Was like a good sort of I was proud of
myself for that because you're the bohemian exactly.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
He's the executive c suite executive literally, I like that.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Yeah, wait, there was something I wanted to I mean,
should we try to do a straight topic?

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Yeah? Normally we have our guests bringing a straight topic.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Yeah, so like it could be anything you'll have to be.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
It could be like obvious, like you know, football, or
it could be more sort of avant garde, like any
straight topic literally anyone.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
I don't know what I mean. I would actually be
curious to talk about like sports media really sports media. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Well it's kind of like how they It's like, what's
CNN has become ESPN?

Speaker 3 (56:03):
How so like in their coverage of politics.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
Have you see that show where it's like twelve people
around the table having an argument?

Speaker 1 (56:08):
What is that show?

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Yeah? I just see that's also every show show I
was argument.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Oh you're talking about a YouTube thing on CNN the.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
People like tripled like it used to be like there'd
be three people talking and arguing and now it's literally
twelve people.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
It's like the whole Yeah, it's the argument show.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah. After I did that Ritchie.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
Torres thing, I was asked on to go on Peers
Morgan have an argument and.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
I'm like, I'm not gonna fucking do that. Like, I like,
I still am a comedian. I want to like make
you know that would that would be a nightmare? Is
that what you want?

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I mean, I want to do something like nice? Yeah, yeah,
I want to show.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
To Like I mean, like I don't like when comedians like, oh,
this isn't straight.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
No, we're getting off topic.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
But we can get it's fine.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
I don't like when, like, you know, now we've like
I think they've been uh elevated to like being smart. Yeah,
like like you know talking about like COVID transmission like
to public health statistic and I'm like, yeah, we're fucking idiots.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Like, but that was like one thing that.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
I was like I felt like I could talk about Yeah,
but I guess I abused a queer.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
Person of color.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Is that what people are saying?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Richie Torres?

Speaker 4 (57:21):
No one tried that one. No, one tried that one.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I liked that you thought of every offense that would
come and they didn't try that one.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
No, but I did get like fucking nineteen thirty four
Dursturmer anti Semitism from the Barry Weiss Jewish Yeah, no,
but it was awesome. It was one of the funniest
things in the world. How come to inspire Jewish people
to be like viciously anti Semitic, to be like this
hook nosed banker like whoa, I don't know if they

(57:49):
said that, but yeah, it was just like phrenology, Like.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Sure for anyone who doesn't know you were arguing with
Richie Toys about Israel. Richie Torres is very uh is
I don't even I think pro Israel is like the
wrong scientist, I.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
Guess, yes, but also a friend of the show a
pack and the friend of the your show.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
No no, no, friend of a tourres.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
No, we've had many a.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Yeah, he's received a lot of money from a pack
and yes, big he tweets about Israel correct historically like eighty.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Percent, and he is not Jewish and you are. And
that also kind of complicated the dynamic because he was
trying to sort of tell you what Jewish people feel,
and you were saying, well, I'm Jewish and I don't
feel that way.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Yeah yeah, I mean it's just.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
And then you got to hate and then you got
anti Semitic hate speech from other Jewish people.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
So that's sort of what happened, which was awesome.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was awesome. I think that is
like the.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
The culmination of the project of Cometown to eventually, not
not to get Adam to be a public intellectual, to
eventually inspire Jewish people, huh, to be virulently anti semitic.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
To me, did you know going into that Richie Torres
and that you were gonna get serious, that it was
going to be good, it was.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Gonna come up.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
I mean mainly, it's just like I don't know, it's
like it's tough because my like I didn't want to
like my it's your family. Yeah, you know, yeah, like
the older generation they're like completely they don't they don't
realize that, I mean, it would make them feel like
gas lit their entire laps. They've been like there's they've
been living under an assumption that's just kind of padently false,

(59:28):
and you know, it's it's like an argument you have
in your family for twenty years, and I've been having
in my family for twenty Yeah, and it gets crazy.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
We always call each other hitler. That's where it goes.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
My dad literally called me hitler. Really we always do
his dinner.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
I found it so I feel like whenever I've tried
to argue politics with people, which is rare. Which is
rare because I also think of myself as not like
a public intellectual, but I am always like trying to
come from like an emotional place and be like, but
don't you see how that would like how that sucks?
Like and there's sort of like, well, if you look
at article two section, I'm like, what are you talking about?

(01:00:03):
So I found it really cathartic to listen to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Know, it's it wasn't really I thought I did a
bad job.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
But inevitably I think that I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I think I was like, I did a bad job
as an interview, but I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Think it would be really you would have to be
a complete narcissist to do an interview about such a
like big topic and be like I crushed that, Like
obviously there are things that are not going to be
brought up or there are like things you feel like
you didn't articulate well, and which is why I think.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Which is why we can't have Sara Parkern because we
just feel there's too much pressure. Are you politically opposed
to her?

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Fantastic?

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
We just like think we couldn't like talk about and
just like that like fully you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Yeah, we would have to become like gay guys who
stand and we're just like, ah, yeah, she.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Saw walking around with who's her friend? The real estate
agent from the new Sema Seema.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Well, I've seen her around everybos Williams.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
No but her and Sarah Jessica. I guess my girlfriend
saw them walking around. Pretty cool. It's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
But going back to that, I just because I've been
getting into like like learning how to do interviews. So
for me, I was just like I was like I'm
talking too much, you know, I thought I was doing
I thought.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
I like I kind of uh, it got off track.
That's how I felt at them in the time. And
also like I sent it around to like people because
like editing it was just looking at that fucking guy like.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
Me like just just like editing it. I'm like, this
is like the most embarrassing you can be. This is
like what we try not to do. Yeah, there's like
a saying like not like not in front of the goam.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Just I thought you meant we as comedians comedian because
it's like it's it feels hacked to be like okay,
well now basically to be like the grand stand to
John Mode, to go John Stormode or that, and also.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Just to do it as a Jewish, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
Like I felt like I was like Kyle's cousin from
Kyle from Southward. I don't know if you understand the reference,
but he has a cousin visit from New York who's
the most.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Jewish, Like I can't be kill.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
But then so I said it around and then like
I have like incredibly pro Palestine Jewish friends who were like, Adam,
you're acting like kind of and then.

Speaker 4 (01:02:35):
Like all my non Jewish friends were like, this is
a this is some of the most compelling content I've
ever seen on the subject. And then I kind of
like in my mind, I was like, oh you think that, like, oh,
he's being a fucking Jew, Like he's being at like
a history onic crime. If you're talking about himself, that's like,
of course he's acting Jewish by being a by being

(01:02:57):
a whimp. Yeah no, no, I mean I just I'm
glad it had a good response. Like the two weeks
of shooting it and then editing it afterwards was like
kind of stressful.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
But did his team reach out with anything afterwards, be
like they said a few cracks. Yeah, yeah, no, I
don't really enjoy bitch. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Yeah, it was like very uncomfortable. And afterwards he told
me that it was I set him up and stuff.
I'm like, I'm I literally crap my pants on Cometown.
Like I was like, I'm not like a He's like,
you're an operative and like an activist and like.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
And when you say he said that, what does that mean?
Like his team?

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
No, he said it to me, was that like in
the room, because that was like the off or the
when you stall that send it for like twenty minutes
where I'm like, yesten, dude, I just want you to
know that everything I was like saying was genuine and
I tried to only couch it in terms that of
like things that I knew firsthand because.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
Kind of what they do is, you know, they like
lived experience thing. Yeah, it is kind of like a
little bit of a.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Of a move right, of course.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
It's just like if someone feels a certain way, it's
kind of a conversation ender. So like if they're like
someone fuels anti sentences on a college campus, in our minds,
we're like, yeah, you saw a palace in your flag
and you you did an inhaler and stuff like You're like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
But you can't.

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
But it's their lived experience, right, So it's rhetorically that's
like a conversation ender. So if I'm like so, I'm like,
I'm going to respond by telling you my lived experiences.
It's also like why are they using woke? Like why
is Israel going woke? And they should go like right
wing like fake news globalists, like they should they should

(01:04:37):
go that way. They're justifying a genocide. I mean, they
shouldn't be doing like no bodies in spaces.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
And they're going woke now with free speech stuff too,
total where it's like they're doing cancer, doing yes and
there and and this attention to hate speech, which is
a traditionally like left wing concept, like hate speech is
meant to be something that refers to when you say,
making negative about a group, but now it becomes just

(01:05:05):
like saying something about a Republican person.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Hating.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
But lived experience is interesting because it's almost like it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
Is rhetorically like you can't argue against someone, but there's two.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
What it tries to argue is that there's an dichotomy
between a theoretical point and a point that's based on experience.
So it's like I can say I believe we should
have universal health care, or I can say I have
a bill for fifty million dollars for a surgery, and
you know, like it has a different way to it
when it's an experience. But there is a midway point,

(01:05:41):
which is feelings. A feeling is an experience, and that
I'm experiencing a feeling, but it's also theoretical and that
I can't prove it, you know what I mean, correct,
And so I don't think people know how to talk
about that midway point because it's it's it's.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
Kind of and lived experience.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
It's also it's like a guy was like it's twelve
backpacks outside of Whole Foods, like thinks the devil is
trying to use pens, So that is that's lived experience.

Speaker 6 (01:06:04):
But it's like what like this is does that justify
a genocidecause, like you know, and it's just like so
I'm like, okay, rhetorically, if he if that's what the
argument is in terms of like anti Semitism, then I'm
gonna tell him like, Okay, well I'm a Jewish person
in public and.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Like this is actually what my experience has been. And
then just see and I think that was that accomplished
what my intention was there.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
But yeah, then you kind.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Of just see how like.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
How bizarre these I mean, it's so sterile to these
people for barrel legislation and omnibust some of a whip
in like an HR three say, I mean it hasn't
And I'm like at a certain point you're like yeah,
but it's like a babies are getting blown up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
I know it sounds like you're trying to be dramatic,
but it's like, how are you not feeling though? Like
you guys watch it. I didn't watch. I listened.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
Did you hear when he's like, haven't been a pride?

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Yeah? Yeah, I was like, what happened to that?

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Did you catch? Like he was like wa wait can
I ask you?

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
Do you know like gay guys that are like really
into tel Aviv. Yes, isn't it really fun there?

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Like? What is it? Is it fun?

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
I've never been in tel Aviv?

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
But how fun is it for gay guys there?

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Definitely best ever, It's definitely it's definitely like what guys
there's like there are a lot there's a lot of
like rave culture and there's and just like great dance venue.
This is what I've heard. I haven't, but I do think.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
It's not people in our circles generally.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
And I'm saying that's what's happening over there in tel Aviv.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
That's so that like people are obsessed.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
I mean you surely heard of the term like pink
washingting of course. It's like it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Like they've always had this like huge pride celebration and
there's like circuit and there's a lot of just.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Like gay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
Gay public figures and like they'll send you know, like
I watch Eurovision every year oftentimes the Israeli contestant is
like super champions, super gay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Right, But like if the.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
Guys are like having a blast in a club, they're
not like we're pink washing right now. They're like having
a great time, right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Well I think, well, okay, okay, so they're not like different,
this is pink washers.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
They're like, this is fucking I'm never gonna die. Yeah.
I think they're like it's that thing of like whenever
you go on a trip and you're sort of like
not considering what the politics of that trip are. Like Yeah,
I think they're not like aware of what they're up to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
But I'm just asking you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Have you heard a report on how on how fun
it is?

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Yeah, yeah, I am. I mean, we know more fun
than anywhere else or like most other places began.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
I think Israel, if you are someone who has no
experience uh being oppressed there, like if you're there as
like a gay tourist, is a very fun place because
it combines sort of like it's it's that sort of
mediterran It combines like European and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern vibe,

(01:09:15):
and you're like, wow, this is unique, Like yes, this
is like this is a unique experience.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
It's not quite France and not quite Greece.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
It's not always comes back to.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
I also think pinkquashing is different than it's not that
the gay guys are doing the pinkwashing. The Pinkua washing
is being done by like a commentator or a politician
that is pointing to that as a sign of Israel's
progressive value.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
Did you see when Bibe, like when he thinks he
could do like why do we like it's so embarrassed,
but like he could do open mic night anytime in
Congress he wants, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
It's crazy, but do you see Like it's like he
I think Jerry might be writing for for BB now,
but he was like, yeah, I saw a sign that
said gays f Gaza. He's like, that's like sen chickens
for kof SO.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
And that's a Jared, that's for sure. Yeah. They like
to talk about the roof that they Yeah, that's a favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
That's a favorite. Uh what.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
It's also like my cousins like, okay, so you're so
so you're arguing against mass murder and then someone's like,
well if you went there, they'd be homophobic, and you're like, oh, sorry,
then I guess I'm pro massed baby.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
The baby has to die.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Sorry, I I didn't think of it that way.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
Yeah, it's d I mean, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Okaya, back to the lived experiencing, did you feel like
because I think I think that you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
I think this is the topic has lived experience.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
Yeah, yeah, oh I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
So I don't know anything about this stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
Nobody, but I'm you know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
What I want to ask you is like it seemed
to me and correct me if I'm wrong, that you
were almost in recounting the story, a little embarrassed that
you brought up lived experience, like you were like, oh,
I'm always.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
Like you know, I think it was more like saying
genocide is in your stomach, like from like everything you
learned about like the Holocausts and stuff like, it's really sad.
It's really sad to say that that like a Jew
because we like knew about it, like you know, like
uh if you look at like the that's what's and

(01:11:17):
it really like it that's painful.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:11:21):
I'm not saying it's like poor me, like no, I'm
like like and also for like the older generation, like
I was kind of just thinking about my dad watching
it and like for the older generation hearing that term,
it's unfathomable, you know, and it's like it makes them
angry and stuff. Yeah, it's more about family and stuff

(01:11:42):
like that. That's really what was going through my mind, and
uh it didn't. It didn't inform my decision to make
us to say what I wanted to say. I mean,
it's really important that Jewish people like like Jewish. There
is this like weird, like not weird. There's like a
silence about it specifically because it's like so like crazy

(01:12:04):
to admit that like that Jews could could be capable
of it. But like so it's really important that we
that we express our solidarity with it. But like also
people just fucking hate Jews now because they're seeing this
happening in America and they're seeing like a star of David,
and they're seeing our government like just pretty much uniformly

(01:12:25):
supporting it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
And funding it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
And uh so it's a I don't know. I used
to get to be the costanza to people, and I used.

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
To be curb your enthusiasm, Bob Dylan. Do gay guys
like Bob Dylan.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
I was thinking that this is a great question. That's
a good question. I was wondering that I think on
the whole, no, I think generally speaking, gay guys don't
like Matt. But he was a pedophile, right, But I
think I'm sorry, Kyle, he's a friend he's a friend.
But did someone say he was.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
A Nambla or something?

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Oh? Yeah, yeah he was.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
He was rambler.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
Yeah, it was different. It was different. It was it
was different.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
Everyone was doing black fans.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
It was so it was like, what are you gonna add?
Who cares? Whatever?

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
No, I'm just saying it's that's always.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
Do gay guys like Dylan?

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
I think generally speaking, he's my number one guy? But
I like Bob Dylan?

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
No, I I I do. Matthew really likes Bob Dylan.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Is that your husband?

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Sie, thanks?

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Yeah, wait, this is I'm great question.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
That was a really good question.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
I thought of it in the uber on the way here.
Really do gay guys like Bob Dylan?

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
I was like, what question? You're like, fu fu fu fun.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
It's just occurred to me. I'm like, I wonder if
gay guys like Bob Dylan. The Airbnb thing I was
also wondering about. You guys are sick of vacation.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
You never really know what the most common Airbnb hosts are. Who, uh,
real women, older women who are like widowed or divorced
because they and they have this house that they and
they have spent their lives like taking care of it whatever,
and now they are sort of monetizing the domestic, their
domestic talents.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Do straight guys know who Adison Ray is?

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
My friend did her videos and my other friend edited it.
It's like for my film friends, I know who it is.
I don't know why he has a filmmaker first, why

like like, I bet like gay guys are having great
and I was like happy like you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):

how big it was because to me, you need like
years of context to understand why Bratt is.

sound like I could just see people having fun.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Yeah, but I'm like, it's doesn't have to do I
have to understand it. No, it's fine.

Yeah, And I did feel like a lot of people
were pretending they had the context. It's like, I agree,
it did feel like almost you remember that said again, Yeah,
that was classic. I think that's why. That's why she lost.

Speaker 4 (01:15:34):

you saying? You know, I'm glad He's like, did you
hear kabala is Brat? It actually really speaks to Charlie's
strength that that didn't destroy her.

Literally, going to a play is one of the most
full body experiences I think I can imagine, Like I'm
I'm empathizing on like five different levels at all times.
I'm also so literally I can't be able to play
and not constantly think, like God, theater like I can't.
I can't get out of my head enough just watch it.
Like I'm just so grateful to be there. I can't

(01:20:10):
believe that, like everything led to the point where these
people are saying these lines at me, even if it's
a bad play.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
I mean, we both just saw a bad play.

No, you mean like sociopaths or like, I don't know,
it's like, I don't know, I feel like every gay
guy I know work way harder than than everyone else. Yeah,
there is a fear of being called gay.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
For straight kids was good too because I had to
like survive also, Yeah, but then for straight kids.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
For straight kids, if you're being called gay, then you
like become homophobic, whereas for gay kids, then you become
you would try to overcome and say it by like
going to the gym or something.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
I got funny, I got you got funny?

Speaker 1 (01:24:51):
Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I have to survive. You're like,
I'm not gay, I'm funny. Yeah. I was like I
was a funny guy. I can't be made fun of.
But like I have to learn.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
Jokes or something.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
And sure there's no way I'm going to find a wife.
I mean like like.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
You know, I'm just saying, like my friend teaches at
a progressive like middle school, seventh grade, and she was
telling me that the straight kids are getting bullied.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Well okay, so but I do craze. I think that's
on its way out. That was like this micro era
of like I.

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
Don't know if it is. I don't hang out in
seventh grade too much.

Speaker 2 (01:25:25):
Well you should, I'll take you. I'll tell you me
next time I go to my my favorite seventh class.

Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
I worked at an after school program here like a
few years ago, and like one of the older boys
started like saying gay pejorative, and I was like, we're
throwing back.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
We're back. I think we're back, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
Mean it's just like it seems like I don't know,
I feel like you develp. Like the worst hand to
be dealt is like you get laid at like fourteen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
Then because they don't have to develop at all.

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
Yeah, like like Gaig has had to like survive and
like just get tough and like you like.

Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
And and like smart total and then like uh we
I had to survive by saying like I gotta find
my thing because I'm not gonna I mean, I have
one pube, like I just like I saw a porn
and I think that all dicks are twelve inches and
I probably have to smart.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
I'm not going to find a wife. Like I was like,
A there is kind of like a a Darwinistic aspect
to it. How do you well?

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
I thought I had the biggest stick on earth until
I hooked up with like one hundred guys and I
was like, oh wait, never.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
Mind, really one hundred guys.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Well, yeah, like one hundred. But when I was like
a kid, I was like, oh my god, I don't
think I was the first time I saw it was
like it was like it was like like like fourteen in.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
And I'm like, what am I gonna do? I'm like,
I'm never going to find the wife. I'm like, I
have to do. I have to do something. I'm going
to die alone.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):

it's his way with drinking and smoking. Like I think
you literally have to wait till you're fully.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
Cooked to have sex and to drink and smoke.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
Because then you're like, oh, well I could just do that.
Uh you're like, let's talk.

Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
Well, the j boys all started on the nugs, like
we like blazing. Then I I I became friends with
the Mexican kids in my school because they were like, oh, like,
you're like Adam, you like like Mota.

a fucked up thing to say about Morrissey, dude, and
they're like.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Didn't get they didn't get that he's gay.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
They're like, why are you saying that about Morrissey?

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:28:07):
It's funny the things that translate to like in Greece.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
