Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody, Welcome to a I t a pot him Vega,
Danny Vega, that's my name, Joined today by lovely returning
Gas Carla spino Hey and wow like that he's really
giving it today.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Big Danny the money over here and k K money to.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Baby.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
He's just like looking off into.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I've got this is my my own frame.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, so I was pretty embarrassed this week. You guys
what happened? Oh god, this is so. I did this
speed dating event. I promoted it on I'm not going
to say the name of it because I'm embarrassed. I
don't want them to. I don't want to associate with
their brand speed dating.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's when you just start dating on meth.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah. Yeah, no one's ever made that.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Joke besides me, not as good as did.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Actually I have a speed dating joke. Yeah it's yeah,
I service up. I went on a speed day recently.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
It wasn't like an event or nothing. She just left
real fast. Oh she's quick with it. Yeah I like that.
Yeah that gets a good response. Visually, I'm not good
at comedy baboo. Anyway, So the question is when is
too close too close? So basically this this speed dating
it's like speed dating on speed because it's thirty people

(01:25):
two minutes each, so it's just boom boom boom boom
boom boo. And this one was like sold out, super loud,
terrible acoustics room, and they basically put you in chairs
across from you know, your speed date. So yeah, and
I like to hear every word people say because the
only two minutes two minutes, and I can't lip read

(01:47):
very well, and so I was scooting my chair forward
and I was kind of spreading my legs and so
the girl's legs would be slightly in between my legs,
and I thought it was going pretty good. I wasn't
really seeing any girls that I was interested in, but
I thought we're having like decent conversations. And then the
so after like ten dates, the host comes up to

(02:08):
me and he goes, stop moving your chair up. You're
making women uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
And I was like, I was gonna say that, I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sorry, and then and then I was like did someone
say something. He's like multiple people have signaled for me
to come over, and I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Just scaring the host.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I was like, dude, so I'm having like a heart attack.
Literally just trying to keep it together. And then I'm like,
i should leave. I should just leave. I'm the creepiest
person ever. I should leave. I should jump off. I'm
on the third floor. I think that'll take me out.
But then I was like, no, don't do that because
then you're going to make a scene. And then you're
making a scene, so that's even worse. Now you're the
creep who's making a scene too. Now you want all
the attention on you, mister creepy boy.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So literally, were you I'm sorry, were you moving or
were the women moving?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Guys are moving? Okay, copy, So I just can't. So
then literally all my speed dates, I'm like, ha, yeah,
I just got in trouble because I literally can't have thought.
That's not I'm a terrible person anyway, So I go
through it and I'm like, I'm just like, then, sure enough,
finish it out. And the worst part was I had
this great interaction. I thought, now I'm doubting obviously every

(03:11):
perception I've had for the last year with the girl
who's like running the event, I was like flirting with
her right when I went in. I was so confident.
I don't know why my confidence was at one hundred
this night, and so I flirt with her as I
came in. I was like, I'm gonna ask for her number,
Like why not? Like I made her laugh really hard.
She called me funny. I was like, oh my god,
I got it. But then I was like, I'm a

(03:33):
stalker and a creed. Did you have a monster?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I literally ran out.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's probably for the best I had.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
The only thing I can like in it, too, is
when you bomb, you really bomb, and you're just like,
you know what, I'm not even mad. I just can't
be here. I just can't. You got that bomb? Stank
on it?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
H home and take a shower. Sometimes it help.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It helps the swing to go from like I'm here.
I could bet I could pull the administrator of this
event to like, should I kill myself here or at
my house? I prefer at your house? Honestly, I mean
I am.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
I am upset with the women who didn't tell you
to back off.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I know if just one, if just I wanted to
say like, hey, you're a little close, I think I
would have been like, oh got it. I want to hear.
But I'm like I need to be cognizant. Of like,
we're just gonna have to yell because obviously these women
don't know me. But no one said that.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
But I hope that you gave the event feedback because
I think a big part of having a successful event
is making sure that they create an environment that allows
people to feel safe. And if it's too loud and
that encourages men to get maybe too close to women,
that that's something they should reconsider.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Well.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Actually, I had an amazing interaction with the host and
he apologized to me because he was like, I'm sorry
if I maybe worded that wrong. And I was like,
he was like, I thought you might hate me, and
I was like, oh, I never hated you, bro, I
hate me so much, bro. But yeah, I said, maybe
just say to put your legs off to the side
because we can't fucking year and that way, nobody would

(05:01):
you know, think to do it. And then that and
then also, don't like give men a shame spiral by saying, like,
just put it differently, and like, yeah, like you're saying
set people up for success because obviously it's going to
be a problem in a loud room. Totally took my
feedback and so it kind of blew over and actually
I think it made him respect me too, because he
was because like I owned my botch, he owned his watch,

(05:22):
and I was like, you know, it's all good, bro.
So now me and Hammer dating and like it actually.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
All worked out when when baby, Yeah, yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
How much of these events cost? Are they costly?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah? That one costs like forty five bucks. Thirty bucks.
Only the most expensive speed dates hit forty five. Those
are like griffs.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Basically, what was the age range?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
If you don't mind me asking, that's usually like twenty
five to thirty five energy.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
What I'm thirty five?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, it's for me.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's rough. There's never it's always twenty five to thirty
five or thirty five to forty five, which.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Actually is okay, yeah, oh well then do that.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I only go thirty to forty. I'm never in the
middle either. At the beginning of the end.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
We'll go, Do you want to go speed dating? We'll go.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm done. I've never been.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Actually, you want to cheat on your wife, dy, you
can come with not publicly, but let's talk.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Gough Camp.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
I don't want to put my name down. Yeah, they're
they're they're interesting. I mean, I honestly, I think that
like going.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
To the gym, Yeah, more natural, just.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Makes you more you know, just have lots of interactions,
create a sense of abundance, and you know, I mean, yeah,
I don't know, what do you do in terms of
stand up? Do you ever think that way? Like it's
not about killing a particular show, but about getting better
at just being comfortable.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Absolutely, But it's too It's there's this weird balance because
you're like, you don't want to care too much about
the each individual encounter, and you also don't want to
get to like where I have trouble. I'm like, I
just don't respect the s single audience member. I don't.
I hate they're here in the way, yeah, because they're
like they're like the filter through which comedy can be judged.

(06:54):
It's not it's not really it doesn't matter how good
my act is or whatever. If they don't understand some
reference or something, the whole ship falls apart. So I'm like,
this show is going to be as good as the
education system was in the county.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
You grew up.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
You're going to the right audience.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
You're a referential comic, but in a way that I
actually like, which is pretty rare.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
And I try not to be Ethan because I used
to be so much more to some degree. And I'm like,
I just found it, you know. I'm like, well, you're
looking for the Commote common denominator kind of sting.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You do good references, you do history. You know, you're
not like fucking referencing, you know, fucking Kai Trump. By
the way, I just found out about Kai Trump. That
was upsetting.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
She's a new Trump. They came out, they dropped tru
It was like, not a new Trump.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I heard a crazy conspiracy theory the other day.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Drop it.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
This lady was saying, I did no research on this.
I'm gonna premise, like preface that this lady was saying
that the Trump golf course. I guess mar logo he
buried his first wife there, who passed away. Because if
you bury a body on a piece of land, you
don't have to pay taxes on it because it's technically
a cemetery.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
So that's why a lot of people back in the
day used to bury their loved ones on their property
so they wouldn't have to pay personal property.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's not a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I think there's well, here's the it's none of it's
it's been like no, so that is documented. Then she
was like, but I wanted to know how she died,
and apparently she was. Her cause of death was listed
as a bruise, and she wow, So then she was
like a bruise from one falling down the stairs when

(08:27):
two days before she was supposed to testify against him.
But you know how to be to say, so that's
a quote unquote conspiracy that I was like, whoa, I
didn't even know any of that. If it's real, or.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
You telling me the oligarchs are corrupt. I mean, I
think they're trying to help us.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You know, I would love to bury my ex wife
on my golf.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's such a.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Wild I don't know anyone died from a bruise.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Actually, there was a woman who was against like regulation,
you know, and then her Tesla's is actually pretty tragic.
She like backed up into a pond on her property.
You know of the ponds that we all have. Oh yeah,
I'm sprawling estates, yeah yeah, and yeah, the tesla, I
think it was a cybercock and she she freaking dies, she.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Suffocated because it wouldn't open.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
It wouldn't open. Yeah, and it was kind of like, well,
you see, that's kind of why we have regulations. Yeah,
sort of there for a reason. You know, this podcast
is unregulated.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I saw Tesla on the way here, the bumper sticker
that said I bought this Tesla before we knew Elon
was crazy. I was like, you misspelled fascist.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I know, right, No, I've been seeing that. It's so
interesting to me that he has all the money in
the world and yet still just won't shut up. I
don't get that. What would you guys do if you
had so much money, like you can just do whatever
you want, what would you do not right away because
obviously you'd spend a lot on something ridiculous, but in
terms of.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Service of wherever this is posted, limit me from being honest.
But for some reason it's crime. Why does he have
to do No, it's not even necessarily crime. It's just
like stuff that's like it would be I would get superary.
Like I always think, I think it's funny to try
to just like induce psychosis onto other people by like
hiring some of like the best photographers around the world

(10:16):
to take a bunch of pictures from them from all
kinds of angles and then find out where they live
and put those pictures up, but like highly pixelated, all
in billboards and like all around them, you know what
I mean. So they're driving all the time to work
to the dentist office, to whatever, and they're like, is
that a blurry picture of me or something? You know
what I mean? Like it's like their head. I don't

(10:37):
really want to hurt you. No, No, I just who
did something? To think about what I do if I
want the lot?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I'm scared.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's a symptom of schizophrenia, delusions of reference, where you
think things are about you that are not except in
your case state. I would, I would do it.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I would induce it to someone.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's one of the worst The worst part about having
schizophrenia is that everyone on the radio is talking about it.
I already have schizophrenia.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Oh my gosh. That's what you would do with your money?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I mean, one, that's one of the things I can talk.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
That's what you can.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
That is a large reference for what I cannot imagine
is what he cannot.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know, cheap it is to hire like an army
of private detectives just like follow people around and ruin
their lives.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Damn well, now we know if we ever see billboards
of our.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I hope I'm on a good side. What the hell?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Just because I beat you at game night.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Bro, you have good side? He's doing this for fun.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
That's as fun. I would like. I think a wave
pool comes to mind. I like to have a wave
pool business. Come down to the pool in like Phoenix, Arizona.
There's a big fond memories at a giant wave.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Do you have a big best pro too?

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Pyramid. I want my own pyramid, some kind of luck sore.
Actually that made me really mad when I not the
luxor isn't bigger than the pyramids? Like what kind of
America is pretty?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Lookstar is just a building, it's just a hotel.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well no, it's a pyramid.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, but it's like a hotel pyramid not.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Like well I know what they went balls out for it.
They invented a new kind of elevator. Forget what they're called.
But it goes at an angle.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
And it's like you been there.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
It's like, right, I've been there. It's like, I mean,
it's a three star hotel. It's not exactly I paid
not the Four Seasons folks. But yeah, and I'm like,
why could we beat Egypt? You know, like let's go Like,
this is America, baby, it is hard.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
The pyramid is not in the right in the middle
of a town out there.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, and it's off to the you know what I mean,
where you living these days?

Speaker 2 (12:44):
A great pyramid. I'll meet you in Cairo.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I'll meet you in Cairo. I don't my guess drive
all the way down here.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I would do with my money. I would buy my hometown.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
The whole town. Wow, yours might be, will go on.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
To make it better. Really, there's nothing behind it. I
would literally. Like it's called Southbridge, Massachusetts. It's very small.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
How far from beingtown.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Five minutes south. It's like on the border of second Yeah,
but they are, you know, like it wasn't the best
town growing up. It's like a lot of middle class.
There's a lot of rundown buildings, a lot of businesses.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Business first big improvement, the Karla project boom.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Oh my god. First improvement. I would renovate like everybody's house. Interesting,
Like there's a lot of triple deckers that are just
run down, right, like with a.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Triple at three story house yeah, yeah, OK.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
No at three story building, so like three apartments like
duplex out but three So triple decker got it. And
then that's what I would do because sometimes I'm like
driving through my town nowadays and I'm like, damn, the
shit looks really run down, and Savage used to be
such a beautiful place and not all the areas there's
always been, you know, like lesser areas. So I would
do that. Then. Interesting fact about my town. There's a

(14:01):
huge church in it and that was built in like
the early times, and the guy who was building the church,
I couldn't give you the year, eighteen hundred, eighteen hundreds,
that's early. He was building this church. And it was
a railroad town. So everyone's putting their pennies and like
investing in this big old church that's like looks like
it's supposed to be in fucking Rome or something. And

(14:24):
then the guy who was in charge went on the
Titanic and died, and then they didn't finish the church.
So all the towns people had to come together and
be like we're gonna finish the church. And now it's
like this big church.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
But like, yeah, fun fact, so you would buy their
shitty co op church is what you were saying.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
No, I wouldn't touch the church.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I would also have a dog ranch and be like
Danny World, so Danny Waypool and then a dog ranch.
There's ship tons of dogs. We've always got puppies coming through,
and so one of the big attractions is you basically
get covered in puppies.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Cool. It just call what happens.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
To the dogs? Do they stay there forever?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Or what they're turned a dog? That's our other side business,
dog Burger. No, yeah, it's just unfortunately we conclude that's
the most economically.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's a real dog to table.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's straight doged table.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Bro. We have a time limit here.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I would start a record label.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't want dead dogs.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
They die naturally and then we eat them.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's fair. I would start a record label only for
like the mentally ill and severely untalented.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
What that's called podcasts are? Do you have anywhere else
to go with that?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Just mean I would pay really good session musicians and producers,
like the entire enterprise. Oh it's like yeah, yeah. It
would cost like eleven million dollars or something. And I
would have like relationships set up with distributors like we
would get your CDs in best well only if.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Kind of actually bad.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Like you've heard of sub pop, We're going to be
sub subbody yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Below not just band camp these days?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Is band camp selling around?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
You have a band camp still around.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Guys, we gotta juice that for you today. Our second
story of the day Ata for telling my girlfriend to
suck it up around my clown figurines. Christ But first, folks,
we're going to Noisetown. Aita for asking my upstairs neighbor
not to wake us up with loud sex in the
middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Hit it relatable.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I've been woking up several times a week, sometimes keep
me up for hours. Bed creaks, bangs against the floor,
plus they moan loudly. I wrote a note asking them
to try to keep it down when doing it in
the middle of the night. I'm a student at work early.
She said she would tighten the bed screws, but that
because we live in an old building, we're going to
hear our neighbors from time to time. I've lived in

(16:51):
old apartments before, I know. However, I also feel that
means trying to respect the complexes. Quiet times eight pm
to seven am on weekdays.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's too early.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, that's a little early. I don't mind noise outside
of these times. Of being woken up on a regular
basis is a lack of respect and a violation of
the rules. I've since been woken up many times, even
multiples a night. I wrote again, saying it's still a problem,
and I really don't like to be that neighbor that complains.
But I got to sleep. I also tried to speak
to her, but she was dismissive and said it wasn't her,

(17:22):
but not me. Me, I went into the hallway that
grandma is getting pounded. Okay, it's her. I went into
the hallway the next time I was woking up to
see if I was mistaken. It was obviously coming up
from directly above. I could hear them as soon as
I opened my door, and barely needed to walk up
the stairs to be sure. I'm impressed no one else
has complained. I wrote a note again saying I was
sure it's her, and if they didn't stop, I'd contact

(17:44):
the board that runs a building so we could find
a solution. She felt surveillance and that her sex life
has nothing to do with me, and it is none
of my business, I agree, but she's the one making
my business by being so loud. I understand, but felt
the need to check if I was in the wrong.
We both contacted the board, who responded in a shared email.
It's difficult because it has to do with things like
sleep and sex. They didn't tell them to keep it down.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Damn well.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I agree both are important. Sleep is a necessity. Your
studying and work won't be ruined by not having loud sex.
I'm not stopping them. I just want them to consider
me and others. Since the email, it seemed like they
were trying to be quiet. I've not been woken up
as much until last night two am, went back to sleep.
They started again at three am. After this, it sounded
like they were dragging furniture across the floor. It is

(18:26):
clear they're not even trying to be quiet. I feel
like they don't care. I'm tired of having the same conversations.
I don't feel like they would have the same response
and are sorry. But if I was having loud conversations
and stopping on the floor at night to the point
of WAKEMP neighbors multiple times, I don't feel like they
would have the same response, and they would tell me
to be quiet.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
A idea hard to police sexual activity to a degree,
to a degree, but yeah, having a loud conversation is
different than being like, can you be quieter in bed?
I don't know, right, Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Kind of if I feel like it sounds good?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:03):
There was another situation I can put in that people
during Ramedan, people fast during ramosms faster ing Ramadan from
sun rise, and so they were using blenders because I
guess it's easier to you know, probably put down a
lot of protein if it's blant at three or four am.
And I feel like that has the same trait where

(19:24):
it's like, well I need to eat, don't I? And
I'm kind of like, yeah, you need to eat, but
do you got to be loud about it?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
You to have sex, but do you need to be
loud about it?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah? I mean I do think it's also the situation
of like, if you want to have loud sex, then
you got to live somewhere where you can do that
without disturbing people. But also, fuck my neighbors. I'm trying
to get laid.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I agree, But I also I think that the sad
part is once like once all the regular structures of
power going through the landlord. Once that's failed, all you're
left with is vigilanteism. And this is really where I shine.
If someone's fucking loud, you can jerk off loudly to them,
that's true, and they will very quickly stop. Rarely is
someone like, oh good, someone's listening like they hate that.

(20:08):
You can record them. If they're being loud enough, you
can record the audio and start selling it maybe way back. Yeah,
you can tell them, you can start texting them, Hey,
you guys aren't loud enough. I'm recording this when you're
fucking and my listeners really like a good audio, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Turn it up. Yeah yeah, I feel like, start a
noise work get annoy you know, get a noise work back.
I mean that's kind of where this does go, especially
if that's how the complex is going to be. I'm like, okay,
I'll you guys are fucking maybe I'll play porn. Yeah
you know what grosser louders or just time it too.
If they're doing it at three am, Oh well, I
wonder how six am is going to fail?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Right, Yeah, you got to give them a taste of
their own medicine.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I honestly feel like this is one of those.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I agree with that. I mean, I think people could
be chill about it if you've said it and you're like, dude,
like come on, because I've been that neighbor who can
hear other people, and I've been like, all right, I'm
playing white noise tonight, like I put louder noise to
cover that noise, because I also don't want to be
the person who's like, but if it was happening every
night all night, I'd be like, is this raw dude

(21:08):
trying to make me have psychosis?

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:12):
All right? Push sex noises around her apartment.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
About two weeks ago, I hear just screaming. I'm like,
where is that even coming from? So I'm like whatever,
go back to ten minutes later, screaming again. I'm okay,
someone's actually screaming. So I go to the far window
at the back of the building and it's someone saying,
stop playing the fucking guitar.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Stop playing.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Then I can hear this guy just fucking shreding killing it. Yeah, okay.
It was like ten p fifty pm. And I was like,
that is a violation. And then I was like I
really don't love this guy's odds on screaming being the
antidote to playing guitar because I feel like he just
doesn't hear. But uh, and so I put on foot flops.
I was like, I'm gonna go find this guitar player
and tell him to stop. But then he just stopped.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
What do you do when there's like a car our
alarm that won't stop? You know, you can't yell at
anybody lucky with that. Yeah, they'll go. I think I've
had one go for ten minutes, but I feel like.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
They die after some time.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Do they die?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, after five or ten minutes. You should be allowed
to throw a rock through their windshield.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
So that's the worst that happens at ground floor sometimes
working space.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yes, it wakes. It wakes me and my wife up
like probably once a week at this point, just some
random and it's like it's not anyone stealing our stuff.
It's like a homeless person like accidentally bumping a car
or something.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Or sometimes if allowed, motorcycle goes by like trigger Literally.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's that palm fronds falling.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
I was gonna make a joke saying like that's because
of where you live. Because he lives in a really
nice area. Well, yeah, like that Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's not that, it's it's right where West West Ellywood
ends and becomes Hollywood. You know, it's I'm like on
the d m Z right, you know, it's like the
two cultures clash or whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, okay, it seem nice to me because I've never
been there.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's the last nice block I think, or the first
shitty one, depending.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
On top comment says that guy from this place. But dude,
you can't win this fight. No board is gonna throw
them because there's sex is allowed, and they will never
be silent enough during sex. You'll be satisfied. Clearly, your
building has no soundproofing, and quite likely your request a
limit sex to seven am to eight is funny. I
suggest you invest in some good, well fitting ear plugs.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I'm not with that though. Have you got are you
an ear plug fan?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
No? Oh no, no, no, I meant the yeah about
limiting the sex time.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, I agree. I think quiet hours are ten pm
to seven am, maybe nine. I mean, if there's kids,
you got to be a little bit. You got to
be a little bit.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Anything under ten is so it's like disrespectful to people,
you know what I mean, where you're like, yeah, you
don't like you being loud? After seven you're like, oh
my god, I got home.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Like ten is that's the only acceptable.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Cause I feel like ten is a reasonable cut of
yea yeah, or even weekdays, even week days, yeah, ten
on weekdays. I feel like Fridays and Saturdays.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
One feel too late for me.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think on a Friday night.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
I mean not for me, but I feel like if
I'm someone who's not going out and stuff, if I'm
a family or I have a baby, like.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, I'm giving, and that seems reasonable toop De sending
comment right, This response is dismissive ignores the fact that
excessive noise, including loud sex, can be a valid disturbance,
especially during quiet hours. It's not about demanding complete silence,
but about respecting shared living spaces. Most apartment buildings have
noise policies, and consistently disruptive noise, whether from music, shouting,
or sex, can be addressed. That'd be weird if they

(24:31):
limited only from music, shouting or sex. If it's from stubbing, yeah,
you're good stubbing, like stubbing your toe.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh I see they're having a breakdown.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Breakdowns are cool if you're being the victim of a
radu say off where you think you're being targeted at billboards.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
You're allowed to lose your mind in your own apartment.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, I agree that. Ear plugs now, I will say
this for me, ear plugs. I can't sleep with those things.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
That's also really not that effective in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Really okay, I I feel like they're affected, but I
stay awake because I wakee up because the earbug will
eventually bother my ear.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
So I think white noise is a great medium. There's
some people who are like, I am sleep by the
way noise. Yes, you can.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
I sleep better without it, but I'm a light sleeper.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
So yeah, well, see, I feel like white noise makes it.
There'll be enough noise because if if it's a completely
silent room, then like a rat, you know ya taking
a walk will wake you up.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
I slept without my I usually have my white noise
on last night, slept without it, and I always have
a deeper sleep when there's no white noise and I dream,
But when I have white noise, I don't have dreams.
Usually it's kind of like I just go into like
this place.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Shita is haunted Atia for asking my ob serious neighbors
not to wake us up with loud sex in the
middle of the night. I think, look, this is multiple.
I think, look once twice, you know, once a quarter. Fine,
it's like she finally got laid. Better have it, you know.
But when it's regular and it's three amps work, bro, Like,

(26:06):
they're being assholes. Yeah, not the asshole in this one,
I agree, not the asshole, and they are. They are

Speaker 2 (26:26):
True, it's a feisty one.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
It's a little feisty. Hey do you want to read
this one?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah? I read this one. Am I the asshole for
telling my girlfriend to suck it up around my clown figurines?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
God damn it.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Me twenty six male and my girlfriend, twenty four female
have been dating for two years. Since we started dating,
she's known that I love clowns. I have several porcelain
clowns displayed around my house on walls, hung from the ceiling,
on little swings, and on shelves. I adore these little
weirdos well. Last week I bought two Venetian masks from

(26:58):
the thrift store and they are in great condition. I
got them for a decent price too. She hates them.
She said they're creepy and give her quote unquote bad vibes,
whatever that means. I told her that I would take
down the mask when she's staying the night, but I'm
not getting rid of them. She told me that was fine.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
The masks told me they must stay.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yesterday, she got up and told me that we needed
to talk whoa. She told me that she's sick of
seeing my weird decorations and clown toys everywhere, that they're
ugly and they creep her out. I asked her where
this was all coming from, because she has never mentioned
my clowns before. I find that hard to believe. And
she said me bringing those ugly fucking masks into our

(27:39):
home was her last straw. And my obsession with clowns
was charming before, but now it's just disturbing. I told
her that I would take down the mask when she
was over. But number one, this isn't our home, it's
my apartment. And number two, she's known about the clowns
for years, and I try to stop and to try
to stop me from decorating my place. How I please?

(27:59):
Is colling. She told me either get rid of some
of them or we're done. I told her to just
suck it up while she's here, and if she can't,
then I'll come to her place every week. She didn't
like that answer, called me a child. Before leaving. I
texted her to apologize for telling her to suck it
up about the clowns, but she has not responded to me.
So am I the asshole for telling her to suck

(28:21):
it up around my clown figurines.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
I'm honestly feeling like this might be misogyny bait, just
because she's so absurd, and I'm like, she never mentioned
the clown that's hard for me to be then, and
now she's like, I want you can't even come over
to my house. I'm like, so, like, that's it, just
the clowns and the masks, Like it just seems like
she's too thin of a character.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I feel like, yeah, it's op is a little like
I don't know if insane's the right word or whatever.
But like at the first description when the lady's like, yeah,
the clowns are off putting whatever that means, You're like,
you don't get how people could be freaked out by porcelain?
Kind of an evilent pedophile? Are you you have some
sort of understanding of what scares the host?

Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's literally a cliche thing to say you're afraid of
clown Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, And like, okay, you like clowns, like a clown here,
a clown there, but little clowns on swings hanging from
the ceiling.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
You're a sex offender.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's weird. That's weird.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Little clowns on swings.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
A yeah, does he have clown be sheetsy thing.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's the obviously like polite thing to do is be like, yeah,
of course I have this thing I'm ashamed of. I'm
so sorry. But like, you know, if a human woman
wants to date me, whatever you want goes. That's the
only movement. If you're into weird stuff, you've got to
put that in the closet whenever a lady comes over.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I mean, I I do think they'll plague it as
it lays. Let's just assume it's not written to hate women,
which most of it it is. I do think, assuming
it's true, which is not, but assuming it was true,
I do think. I do think a couple of things
ring true about it, which is one. There's this thing
I've heard, which is whatever makes you fall in love

(30:06):
with someone will invariably become something you hate. Interesting You
ever heard that that? Yeah, I mean it's just like,
sometimes what attracts you to someone isn't actually something that
you want to build a long term relationship on.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
You're saying on what it is, I could see that.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I'm eventually going to hate my wife's bomb ass pussy.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I don't. As someone who knows your wife, I don't know.
I think I don't know if I can.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
You're telling me, I don't know if I can go.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
That's hard for me to believe personally.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
But I don't know. If we're going to recover, I
might hate her stories. Yeah you'll never hear no, but
I guess it's like usually something like strange like this,
it's kind of interesting, you know, So then it's very
like fascinating about the person, right, And then it's like
kind of with time.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
This feels extreme.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Think it was ever a period where the lady's like, oh,
the clowns are doing it for I don't think she's
just turned at any point.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Well, the moment I would have walked into that apartment,
I would have been like, let's address this.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
I think she probably said like, oh, like yeah, he's
got these clowns, and her friends are like, that's weird
clown guy. Huh, And he was clown guy. But then
at some point she was like, but the clowns are cute,
you know, like he likes them. They're little fun characters.
They're just trying to create fun in a circus environment.
Like what's wrong with that? And then eventually it's like endearing.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
He just sleeps on that clown car bed.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
You know, she tells him the story. She's like, yeah,
we used to call you clown guy. Now you're my guy.
But I mean, I will say this the best. I mean,
I feel like it's a metaphor for like you have
to accept someone as they are right, like you dated them,
you got in bro, that was the contract you signed it,
Like you got into a relationship with someone, getting into
a relationship with someone with intent to change is fucked up.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's fucked up, true, Yeah, but it's also just at
least in our noise. If this person's in America or
the West or whatever. Normatively, the way it goes, if
you're the guy and you have a weird hobby, you
got to put that away. And if you're the lady
and you got a weird hobby, it's that's more acceptable.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Shared well, shared home environment. I'm with there, but not
in not my apartment.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yeah, I guess just in your own home. You're right.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
But if a woman came into my house she's like,
it looks like all you do is have a podcast here,
and it's dysfunctional. I would be like, I agree, can
you help me? But like, it's not okay to like
dictate someone's place.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
No, I know, but there's nothing socially scary about a
podcast necessarily. There's some subtext. Sure, yeah, but uh what
am I sorry? Just so few people are like, no, yeah,
I enjoy the clowns and face.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Most people are like, this is fucking scary.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah, to have that much of it.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I told an X of mine that I was starting
a second podcast, and this is one of my favorite quades,
and she was just like, what more does the world
need to give you? I think about it every days,
so funny every day, but yeah, I feel like it's
it's messed up now. I will say the Venetian mask
is a heightening because that's that's getting facial and that

(33:17):
shit is creepy.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I actually think that the Venetian masks are less creepy.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
But do you agree that? Like if? Okay? So, like,
say you're dating a guy and he has all these
you know what's another creepy thing bugs and you accept
the bugs. You're like, he's a bug guy, he's my
bug guy. He's my bug boy. And then he gets snakes.
I do feel like now he's changed, so he can
show you consideration because this is a change that happened

(33:44):
during the relationship. Yeah, I think putting the snakes away
or putting the masks away is reasonable. He's being reasonable.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, I guess I would. I would be like, can
you put the clowns away and get more masks?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
There's something I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Mask houses. Mask house is not comfortable.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
It's not great either. Option is idealing.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
About the brutality of truth here where she's like, how
do I find the polite way, and you're like, there's
no polite way. You need to tell them. You're like,
I hate this and you like it, and that's fundamentally
an issue.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah, why does he like clowns? What is it about them?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
You don't choose who you're molested by, You just.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Fun Effective sixty eight forty six. NTA is someone who
isn't into clowns but loves Venetian masks Carles's future husband.
I can understand being creeped out by some of them. However,
HER's hurting this on your entire interest for clowns that
you've had your whole relationship. Make sure the asshole if
she's giving you ultimatums over how you decorate your own
space based on your own interest, she's not the one.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Or Venetian mask, the comedy drama mass.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
That's what I pick.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Yeah, or like the ones when you go to the
masquerade balls.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Oh oh, eyes wide.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Shuttle, yeah, yeah, which feels less creepy.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
No, for a second, I was imagining the plague doctor mask.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Oh yeah, I want to be a DJ who wears
the plague doctor mask.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
I mean I feel like that exists.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Probably, Sorry, he was actually at a great run during
COVID because.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
That it was in Danny in a Boiler Rooms.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, nice's good reference. German techno. Carla has entered the house.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
We have that in common.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
We like techno.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Remember we were listening to uh oh yeah, you're related
enough my my twenties playlist of two thousand and eight
dumb stuff.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not proud of my music taste, but
at least it's not.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Apparently that was some sort of like Venetian uh like
Waltz or something. No, no army march. It was like
you'd hear that, Oh that is you hear that and
you're like, oh, ship, they're gonna come sack.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
That's fucked up, dude.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's some raw levels warfare. Whoa you like the happy
songs playing killed My Family to the circus?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, go fucking bunch of monkeys come in. Yeah, dissenting
K twenty three K twenty three rights. He will need
to find someone who loves clowns. He has no chance
at dating someone else.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Perhaps a clown. Yeah, he should move to La Clowns here.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I know, but those clowns, like you know, Chad Domiani,
who's like a local clown he doesn't dress like a clown.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
But there's a clown industry here where they Yeah they're
pating their face and stuff, Yeah for sure, and like
doing a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I think this is ultimately messed up if it's not
misogyny bit, I think it is trying to change someone.
You know, you want to find someone who has freaky
household decoration that you're comfortable with and no one else.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
I don't know, man, I don't have a lot of
hope for this guy.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
It's like a known my my, I had a family
member I still have them.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
But but she said her three biggest fears were cockroaches,
little people, and owns and.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Putting little people within the coup.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
What's crazy? And there's a because there's a there's a
few comedians that are like little people and like when
you bring that up to them, they immediately tell you
then it's a disease. There's like the disorder in the
d s M. They're like, yeah, it's whatever ophelia or
a phobia actually.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Like being scared of them.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah, there's a real diagnosable disorder.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Interesting, Yeah, there's a phobia for everything, literally everything.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
And yeah, we're I'm teliophobic. Do you know what I funk?
What I fear?

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Do you know the feeling?

Speaker 1 (37:43):
The only thing we have to fear itself?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Oh my god, Roddie were president?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
The dum do you know?

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Climate ophelia is the kink of getting off when someone
falls down the stairs.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
And I like, can you imagine being in public with
like your partner who has that, and like someone falls
down the stairs and everyone's like, he broke his leg
and you're coming in the corner.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
You can be attracted bathroom. You can be attracted to abortion.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
This is what you're telling me. I mean, God, damn God,
damn it.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Everybody get quiet, real.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Fussed guys, Please write review, subscribe on Patreon, Patreon dot com,
slash at pots about this episodes, every single episode ad free.
I think it's a good deal. The only thing we
have to fuck is fearts. We're gonna wrap it up,
you guys. Actually we're wrapping up on kind of we
should have wrapped up on the clowns, but instead we're

(38:42):
gonna wrap on. Would I be the asshole if I
told my friend her lips look bad. I have a
close friend who has recently started overlining her top lip
like really overlining it. She has thin lips and it's
painfully obvious. She's basically trying to double her lip by
putting lipstick above her lip. It does not look good
and multip My friends have agreed to me that it's
too much and it's not flattering. I brought up telling

(39:04):
her and they said not too that it makes her
happy and if she thinks it looks good, that's all
that matters. Well, I agree with them on that if
I were her, I would want someone to tell me
that my makeup look bad. I had a friend gently
tell me years ago that I need to pluck my eyebrows,
and it quite literally changed my life. I don't want
to hurt her feelings, and how she wants to do
her makeup doesn't affect my life. But if the majority
of our friends things it looks bad, should I tell

(39:24):
her to avoid for the embarrassment.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
I day my sister told me my eyebrows were tooth
in college, and it changed my life. Really, I will
show you a picture after recording. They are so thin
and it never occurred to me ever, And now I
look at all my college pictures are like, why were
your eyebrows, so damn thing. I think that was a
style back then, but I don't know. She's my sister though.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Right, it's different. She's close, she loves.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
You, she loves you, but she also doesn't give a fuck.
But she's like she literally was like, why the fuck
your eyebrows look like back?

Speaker 1 (39:53):
And I was like, what interesting? I'm sad straight through.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
It's just another one of those things where you're like,
what's actually polite? What is the actual essence of politeness?

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Well?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, I think it's like a thing where it's like,
are you ready to keep it real? I'm actually you
know what, dude, I'm just gonna do this. We can
edit it if you're not at me, but fuck should
I do it? I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
We're friends and you've posted a bit and the bit
could be construed to be similar to another comedian's bit,
and I was like, should I tell him or not?
Should I?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Which is real?

Speaker 1 (40:26):
It is real? Fun? And I debated, and so, so
now what if you hate me? You're gonna hate me?

Speaker 2 (40:31):
What's the bit? Fuck the jerking off Bible thing or something?
Keep guessing the bit about the bit? The bit where
you like insult someone, and it's like a misdirect. You
get all this information, you get all this information from them.
You're like, what's your name?

Speaker 1 (40:48):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
The come the com pants bit and then you just call.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Them com Pantsah yeah, yeah, there's there's a Louis bit
that's just very similar. He's like, Ah, these kids are
so clever. I'm up with all these insults for you, you know,
like if you if you're fat, they call you fatty,
or if you're me they call you f slur. It's
like a similar.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Yeah, but Luis c K is canceled and Babu's not.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
I want to hear.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I want to Yeah, well, I don't even see how
that's exactly same. You're saying. The only misdirect is setting
some up someone up for a nickname, and then.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, exactly, it's a building to a clever nickname. And
then the joke is just that there's nothing clever about it.
I regret this. No, no, no, no, that's never gonna do.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
That's actually that's how things work. Is that like many
many times people are like, oh wait, is this the
same overlap? Is it whatever? But it is it does
come from a place of ultimate politeness to be like,
I'm going to risk some social capital to try to
do something, you know, in the terms of the greater
good or whatever.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
It's also no original thought ever, so.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Like almost it wasn't like other.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
People bothered you or you just like yeah, where where
are you at? Because I don't like and let me
just say it reminded me of that bit.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I definitely like knowing when something is like, oh you
know what this feels germane or this feels like it
could be because I've seen every single thing Louis put
out and I'm like, I don't even remember that. Yeah,
so it's most likely possible that I watched it in
some ways found its way back out. Also, my my
my thing is that is like an extension of that
bit where I'm like, yeah, that's that's the first part,
and then deep into the it's clear that I'm giving

(42:23):
shitty fake nicknames, but it still keeps going, it still
keeps progressing or whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Going, whereas it's the promise.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, whereas if what you're describing his just ends at
like the first misdirect or whatever.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
For listeners at home, you can cut the tension with
a knife.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
I don't think it's tight.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
I don't kidding.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
My whole bit, this is what it is. My whole
bit is I'm confronting it. I'm scared.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
My whole bit is telling people I'm an award winning
crowd work comedian I like, and I don't even like
doing crowd work anymore. I've just I've won so many
awards for it.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
I'm like, you guys have been a nice, proud to
do it for you if you want. And then I'm like,
what's your name? What's your job? You know?

Speaker 1 (42:58):
And then I.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Also the part of it is, even though I do
shitty like your name's compants, your name's come whatever, every
now and again someone will be like, I'm an it
person in my name and I'm like, oh, comeputer. And
then people are like, wait, is he actually improvising they can't.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Tell or whatever.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
So but both of you are right, You're like, it's
probably derivative one and two it is. There's nothing you
can do about how the fact that everything's derigulous. So
all you can do is like try to like further something.
If you know, you're like a lot of people have
stepped in this thing. Whatever, maybe I can just do
one inch more of an extension of that idea.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
And also the reverse. I feel like I've I've said
something at a show and now I see it on
like a meme and I'm like, I said.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
That I've told a GLBT joke for like ten years,
and the joke is just like my Arizona friend said,
you know GLBT. I was like, you know GLBT, it's
it's definitely RELGBT, and then he's like, whatever did blgt
blgg has a baking lesson to Mato Sam for the
gay man in it. Yeah, and now that's like that's

(43:59):
a mento.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
It is.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Yeah, I've seen it online. I think it's also in
parks and rec or some shit. Whoa, And I still
tell it because I did it first. I don't like it.
I don't want it.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
But now do you feel like people are just going
to think that you're doing it because of that other thing?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah, exactly, So I don't want it to go on
like a special if I put that out.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
But mine was about lent and I was like, this
was last year. I was like, Lent is starting, and
this year I am giving up.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh yeah, funny, and that's it, just giving.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Up and now I see that on all these like
memes that are like Latino memes that are like this year,
I'm just giving up, And I'm like, I said that, right,
but also probably someone else.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Sure, Yeah, yeah, so that's that's a double edged sword
thing too, where you're like, did I hit on something
that like is just so universal or am I completely unoriginal?

Speaker 1 (44:46):
And I right, I mean I actually think this is
a good I like your explanation. It's like, then make
that the promise and go farther with it, right.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Which I'm even saying that retroactively. I didn't know when
I wrote that Bit is ten years old. That's one
of my oldest stand up really.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Yeah, they just kind of like bring back every now
and again and add different dimensions.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
To it or whatever. Yeah, but I didn't.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I didn't write it thinking it was derivative or whatever anything.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
No, And I wasn't trying to.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I was just there's a period of time where I
would go into the crowd and stand on chairs and
do all that whatever. Then that came of that, you know.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
I mean, dude, I think a lot of people have
Bit Louis. You know, he's a big influence on a lot. Sure, people.
Sure so, and he was canceled. Thank you Carla for
raising you are welcome. But yeah, so going into this
one specifically, I think, you know, I think, I mean,
I hope right now either Roddy will never talk to
me again or I think now we have some trust
because it was like, hey, I just gave him my opinion.

(45:41):
It could have bothered him. It seems like it really didn't,
which isn't really that surprising. You do ship on a comedy,
you've been down these roads.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
You also set it up pretty gently, I feel.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
But yeah, I think he was looking for the social
I'm a bad example because I actually believe you should
even steal people's jokes cause you take it a step further. Yeah,
but he was looking for the social faux pap like
do I risk something and tell you you might be
doing something that you yourself wouldn't want to do. That's
where this makeup thing kind of lies together, where you're like,
nobody wants to put on put effort to make themselves

(46:12):
look worse.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yeah, but I think in their heads they look better. Right. Yeah,
So that's what you're.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Saying, is well, then go ahead.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Oh no, no, no, that's all I was.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
Like, for instance, like I like girls who have straight hair.
That's just my personal preference. I don't know why. I
just like it. I mean it's not always true. But
then I'm like, well, but yeah, but I can't how
dare I? That's just my preference. I have no authority
on hair. I don't know anything about hair.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Yeah, I think it's also people go through phases, right,
So I think maybe this girl is trying this as
she's trying to see what it looks like a week
from now. Like I would say to the opie, like,
let that shit write out. She'll stop doing it. She'll
eventually stop doing it. She'll then see all these pictures
and be like, why the fuck didn't anybody tell me
to stop doing this?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
And we're gonna be like, wow, we're.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Just trying to let you beat you, betty. Like I
was at a sketch show recently and this girl we
have just a green room with all of the comedians
and we do character bits and stand up and all
this stuff. And one of this girl had like a
foundation on.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
And it was so like cake.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
It was cake, but it was also like kind of
orangey and like very different than her net color.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
And I was like Trump coated.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Something to her. Should I say something? And I didn't
say anything because I was just like, I don't know
how to say, like, you have way too much foundation
on it.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
It's not the color, Like, hey, this whole thing is fun,
it's bad.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
I'm like in the audience, and she does a whole
Malania a bit that is related to Trump's. I'm like,
I'm really even though if I had said something to her,
she would have just told me she was doing the character.
But I was like a little relieved that it just
wasn't the way she was.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Yeah, thank god.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
I was like, Okay, this is a bit. Thank God,
Like she's not that out of touch.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Well, I just want you guys to know if you
have any criticism for me, I'm here to hear it.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Are you bald? No, I'm what the fuck.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Like?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Criticism is not even constructive, it's just bald.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Yeah, you don't have enough furniture.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
I'm looking for that right now. I'm trying to build
out the furniture in here slowly. I think I'm gonna
get a nice l couch.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I was just gonna say about that couch comfort level, this.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Is pretty good. It's actually better than my regular couch.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
This is way better than the fucking chairs we were
in before.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It's ird to hear.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Here's here's this the weird nature of these relationships. If
you have no conflict in your relationship whatsoever, that's how
you can guarantee you're in a transactional relationship.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Hmmm, I like that.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
This is a hot take.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Yeah, if you're like, hey, I'm friends with this person
because we have a mutual interest. We go to their
house and watch football, they got a blender, whatever, something
like that, you're never going to upset that balance the
second that person's like, you know, I actually voted in
a way that would have your father be killed that Hey,
I almost voted for that too. You know, like, you'll
find ways to appease things you never would have because
you want to maintain your relationship to that person's stuff

(48:58):
or they're social influence or whatever the thing that you
want out of them.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah, those are some of your best.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Relationships, actually, because there's never a chance for conflict. The
ones my personal friends, my close friends humiliate me constantly. Yeah,
the source of most of my sourness and upset and
betrayal and whatever. Because that's so you're vulnerable with that's
who can affect you. But then there's a third thing. Okay,
you ever have someone in your life, you're not even
close to them, but you're a constant conflict. It's like

(49:25):
the few thing whatever we're talking about. Constant conflict, not constant,
but like you just you don't you don't have to
see them. You're they're not a coworker. They're just like
a neighbor or someone in your friend group or something,
and you're like, I hate them, I'm they're annoyed by
I'm annoyed by them or whatever, but you keep indulging
in seeing them for some reason because the conflict is

(49:45):
the transaction there.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
I've done a good job of cutting those people out
in the last like six years, I would say, yeah,
because the most part.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's not always two ways. Sometimes it's like they just
they are a conflict person and they get conflict out
of you. Sometimes you feel better about being like I
have this person I fucking hate and I want to
know how bad their life is. I want to tell
them how good my life is or whatever, and I
never want anything good for the antagonist exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but there's a type of space, how close they are
to you or whatever dictates how much you can handle it.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
You know, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Think I'm with this. I mean, I guess I feel
like transactional maybe isn't the word I use, but just shallow.
It's just shallow. If you're not willing to have a conflict,
then it's just not that deep. Unless though I do
believe this is possible, some people just do get along.
They're out there.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, it's but we can all we can all agree
they're rare, right kind of, I.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Mean, conflict forever, that's impossible.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
We didn't really just have a conflict because you basically
didn't disagree with me. You basically were like, yeah, but
that's fine.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
But I think the point is that you risked a
potential conflict.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
That's an evil canevil and these these parts as Yeah,
I mean, I don't know, I think with this. I
I guess it really just depends how close you are
and you got to know the person. But in the end,
I think, much like the conflict we had, it is
a subjective. I was going to risk it just because
I didn't really think you're going to get super mad

(51:07):
about it, and you're a way more legit comic than me.
So it's like, what are you going to This guy
had a juice show.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
So that's all. That's also you knowing how he's going
to react, right, So like a big part of this
op thing is like, how's your friend going to react?
Is she receptive to feedback? You know what I mean?
Because I was hanging out with my friend last night.
They had this family friend who's been like They're literally like, oh,
we don't want to hang out with her anymore. She's
like so far from reality, Like she's like like she

(51:37):
got a lobotomy, Like we don't know how to deal
with this person. And I'm like, well, why don't you
just like tell her the truth? And they were like, no,
we can't tell you the truth. She'll flip out. And
I'm like, no, like the truth of like you not
wanting to hang out with or not the truth of
her life. Be like, hey, hanging out with you is
a lot and I can't do that right now instead
of just like putting yourself in a position over and
over again to be mad about hanging out with.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Her, right yeah, I mean, I think one of the
classic truth is here that helps protect against this is
don't get high on your own supply.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
That's true, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Because that's when you become because right, if you're all,
if you're all like I look so good with my
double lipstick, that's when you, like, you feel like you're
really getting shot down. Sure. Yeah, but I also feel
like that's why some com I mean, I feel like
comics are tough because it goes so far to either direction.
But like, because stand up is so iterative, like you
have to always be improving your bits. Ye, most stand

(52:27):
ups I think are pretty receptive to feedback. I mean,
I think that's.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Some depending on who's giving the feedback.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
That's very fair. Yeah, that's very fair.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
I don't know. I see rod Do solving this problem
by creating a fake dating profile and then messaging the
girl grow your lips.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh my god, I did that once. I made an
email account to tell my friend I was concerned. Speaking
of scams, he was running a casual lottery on Facebook.
It was like literally a raffle. It's he was profiting
off of it.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
And a calendar app that they do for like fundraisers.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yeah, there's a way you could profit off a raffle.
That's pretty goal. But yeah, he said he never I
later told him, and he's like, I never even got
that email, just.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Went straight to his spam.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Just really garbage.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
What I wanted my merch to be. Sorry to interrupt,
I wanted to just to sell like a lottery.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Every now and you give me five you just give
me five bucks, and every now and again you went
one hundred dollars back. But I'm not. I never give
you the never make the odds public.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
I just two dollars scratch for five dollars, exactly about it.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
What'd be the asshole if I told my friends her
lips look bad. I think I'm ready to like, I
found this coming up a lot. It's almost like this
is to define the relationship situation. It's not on a
whole or not. Yeah, you could call it info, but
in other words, how you handle this will define it.
And it doesn't make you an asshole, because if you
want that person to be a close friend and you
expect that, it could be the end of the relationship,

(53:53):
or it could be the beginning. If you don't want to,
it could be the beginning of you being acquaintances or
you know whatever we're saying. Shallow, Yeah, that's true. Nice,
thanks for joining me quick plugs.
