Speaker 1 (05:32):
He definitely is real .

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Girl.
Yeah, but I'm like curious orwhatever, yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
And so was he, and he sucked my dick and it was great
.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I didn't suck it.
Well, I think I tried.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
It was he had a huge dick he sucked mine, but I did
not suck it, didn't soundselfish, but anyway that's every
one in their early 20s yeah,that's true

Speaker 1 (05:55):
going to random marriott hotel rooms pulling
your pants down, getting yourdick sucked and leaving no, no I
thought that was like auniversal connor was the one
going to suck dick.
Oh, see, we were on oppositesides of it because I was like,
yes, I'm straight or even when Iwas gay, I was still like oh
same, even though, like my purse, fell out of my mouth every

(06:16):
time I opened it I didn't comeout before you.
That's crazy when'd you comeout?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I was 21 yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
well then, but you're younger than me.
I came out at 23, so I guessyou technically came out a
little bit before me, but Ididn't come out to my dad until
I was like 29.
Like two years ago, three yearsago, I don't fucking know.
That's not why we're here.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Dude, that's so crazy .
So after our first episode andI posted you guys on Instagram
Tommy DM'd me.
Tommy McGuinn yeah because hewas like talk about me and I was
like no and he was like that'sso crazy that, you know, connor,
we, you know, went to campaignstogether.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I love you, tommy.
He's such a cutie.
I always had a little crush onhim he told me.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
He said Connor always said he wasn't gay.
As it goes, I did.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
As it goes, I'm not gay even though I'll never
forget I was like Tommy was.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, I was yeah, he's so funny, I always thought
Tommy was a little cutie.
I remember when I was in middleschool, I was on the bus and
there was another girl at myschool named Emily Todd, and
this is when I was like you knowI think that you know,
everybody has these thoughts,but you're just supposed to keep
them to yourself, right?
And so this Emily Todd girl hadmade out with another girl and
everyone's like it was you.
I'm like, no, it wasn't.

(07:25):
No, it wasn't.
What are you talking about?
I'm like, oh, my God, I wonderwho she was making out with.
I'm like, oh, like a girl.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
She's a neat girl.
Oh my God, yeah, it's like I'mdefinitely not.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
And here we are, here we are.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Oh my gosh question for you, which is a little bit
of um.
You know we grew up superevangelical Christian, right?
So what?
What do you think like yourfeelings were about being gay
when you were little?
Was it just kind of the thingof like everybody feels this way
, or did you ever feel like kindof like shame with it?
Like, what was your experience?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
So you know, this is something that I think now, just
being like an older adult,definitely like delving into a
little bit more.
But I remember like being inelementary school and like
having feelings for girls, likeI remember the first girl that
it was third grade, her name wasEllie, I will not fully out her
, but I remember like runningdown the hallway with Ellie and

(08:26):
then she like went to grab myhand and I felt like electricity
through my whole body.
I'm like oh my gosh, I lovethis.
I named my first Build-A-Bearafter her and I still have that
Build-A-Bear to this day.
Yeah, but yeah.
So when it comes to like thereligious aspect of it, I think
I mean our parents didn't reallygrow up super bigoted even
though we were like Christianand I mean our parents didn't
really grow up super bigotedeven though we were like

(08:46):
Christian and evangelical andall of that.
They didn't tell us to like,hate people and like what we see
nowadays, but it was likefrowned upon.
You know, it was a.
You don't do this, it's notnormal.
So I thought, okay, well,everybody probably has these
thoughts, right, Like everyone'sprobably thinking like same sex
.
They're hot, I can have like alittle wet dream about them and
that's normal and everything'scool, and I'm repulsed by the

(09:09):
opposite sex and you're justsupposed to deal with it, you
know.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that's the loudest train I've ever heard in my
life and the wind is how I canfeel the wind.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Dead.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
like pause, I dead ass hate the train here when I
was living in Roanoke when I wasdead ass hate the train here
when I was living in roanoke,when I was, you know it?
Yeah, because I used to livedown the street, yeah, and we
used to live on the train tracklike, yeah, we could see I was
on one side, he was on the other.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah, because I lived where.
What's that guy's name?
Matt off a chestnut.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Oh, david with the hoa, yeah, david says hi, by the
way, I told him you were comingon.
Oh, I'll tell him, yes, I will.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
But yeah, that was the worst, and when I lived in
Roanoke they would have to besilent the entire time they went
through the city.
It was an ordinance and it wasso nice.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, here they just like I would be fine Hit
motherfuckers but like let mesleep.
Do we have a window?
Do you have a window?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh, I have the window Open a little bit back there.
Should I close it all the way?
I good like it was hot in here.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I was like is this okay, let me collapse in, that
would be, we could pay out.
Oh girl, I'd be, so I would beretiring tomorrow yeah, oh my
god, oh, to get but I still getmy severance when I get fired,
so double money do you know howmuch severance you're gonna get?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
is it like normally?
I would get 30 or 90 days orsomething.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, it depends.
It's supposed to be a week forevery year.
You've been there, I've beenthere 10 minutes A week.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, I thought it was a month.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I wish.
No, they probably give me threemonths, four months, but it
just depends.
Yeah, also, I don't know, I'mprobably not getting let go.
Let's get real.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I have meetings all next week that I guess they're
not offering, they're all likefreaking out.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
They're like kind of like you're gonna be here, right
, like you gotta move out, and Iwas like yes, like my
schedule's ready, I'm good,y'all are in new new york,
because I'm not doing the newyork trip.
I'm letting them do that andthen I'm gonna be here so I can
have my own life.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh, my gosh anyway.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Anyways, here we are but yes, so you know, we grew up
like going to youth group andwe grew up going to like kids
rock and all of this other stuffand it was such a like integral
part of our lives and I feltlike you were just supposed to
lean into it.
And then just also going tohigh school in the south, like
all your friends are christiansand everybody wanted to be like
a part of like that community.

(11:23):
So you just kind of leaned intoit and you you did the status
quo.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
So but then, like in high school, you, because we
were we differed very much,whereas like I leaned way more
into the whole youth group thingand you went, I went soft on
you were the um thedisappointment.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I was the.
I used to not be the favorite.
And that may have changed now.
Who?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
knows For four years I was the good kid she was.
She didn't drink.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
You may have done other things that were
disappointing, that they didn'tknow about.
But yeah, I had this dichotomyof I would go to youth group and
like love that and go on mymission trips and like serve the
Lord, and then also like Iwould be going out every weekend
and getting fucked up in afield and drinking a fifth of
Smirnoff by myself.
So oh, yeah, it was for you.

(12:16):
I can't anything watermelonflavored.
I cannot have any more.
When you took that I said,praise be, oh my God.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
It was a big no.
Oh God, I remember yeah, butyeah no.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
I would party in high school but then at the same
time like clean myself up and goto youth group on Sundays.
I remember getting to theJamaica airport or no, the
airport to go to Jamaica to goon a mission trip and I was
still drunk from the party Iwent to the night before, but I
was ready to serve the Lord amenyeah so.
I mean we didn't really have alot of exposure, I guess, to

(12:52):
like gay people yeah, you haveno one in your family nobody in
the family.
No, nobody in the family becauseeverybody grew up like Baptist
hellfire brimstone yeah, right,southern Baptist, oh, southern
Baptist, yeah, and your partnersaid what's like her side?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
is her family open and does she come from the same
kind of religious background?

Speaker 4 (13:11):
hers is a little bit.
I mean, it's almost kind ofmurky because she's from florida
, okay, so she.
But like florida beforedesantis, okay, you know what I
mean.
And so orlando used to be likereally open and they would have
like good pride stuff.
She was out when she was inFlorida and then she moved here
and she had to like closetherself back in so but her
parents were always religiousand so they thought she was

(13:33):
always going through like alittle phase and then she just
kind of like closeted herself alittle bit.
But it was always experimentingas people say yeah, all dead.
Yeah, she was caught in thebedroom several times and it's
like, oh no, we're just having asleepover.
What do you mean?
So, hers was a little biteasier, I think, when she was
younger, and then it made adifference when she moved here.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Good, that's good.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, but not the same experience.
For myself, it was very muchlike you stay in your little box
and you stay closeted and justgo with the status quo and then,
once you got like a little bitmore freedom, like you go to
college, like when I moved toVirginia.
That's when I really startedlike finding myself and
accepting myself for who I amyou know, so I actually came out

(14:17):
when I was 24.
I want to say it was when I was24 and it was like directly when
I moved to Virginia.
So I lived in Roanoke for PAschool Roanoke, great little
city, so cute.
But um, I just remember, likeright before that I had had a
crush on a girl and I was likeI'm not gonna write this off,
like I need to like confrontmyself and I realized, like you

(14:39):
know what like you like women,and that's okay and this is also
a great time because you're notnear your family, you're not
near your normal community, solet's start dating.
So I ended up downloadingTinder and trying to like date
there.
And if you know Roanoke, youknow it's in Southwest Virginia
and that is a hard place to date.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh, my gosh, a bunch of grenades, a bunch.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
I mean, if that is the kindest way to put it, oh my
gosh, I there was like a fewgirls that I would talk to, and
then there was one girl that Iended up dating and it just
didn't work out.
But everybody else looked likethey lived in the mountains.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So mountain women, it in themountains.
Yes, yeah, yeah, mountain women, it's the teeth.
It's the teeth, it's that wholeWest Virginia, Virginia kind of
yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's like maybe your parents are cousins, I don't
know yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Could be yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
It was hard, but it was at least like freeing to you
know, come out, you know.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, definitely to you know, come out.
You know, yeah, definitely.
So I remember when I, when wekind of like came out to each
other a little bit, it was, um,we were I was at like this
japanese restaurant with my momand I was asking her if I could
go to charlotte pride with myfriends, because even though I
was in college, I still livedwith her and I knew she would

(16:03):
like be weirded out if I went topride.
So I was like, hey, I just wantto let you know I'm doing this.
She was like Megan Lynn, areyou gay?
And I just laughed in her faceand I was like, I mean, yeah, I
do kind of like women and shewas like does your sister know?
and all I could think about inmy head was I know that bitch
has to be gay too and.

(16:24):
I like called Emily, yes, and Iwas like, hey, girly, I just
like kind of came out to mom inthe weird ass way and she was
like, yeah, I'm, I also likewomen I've been dating here in
Roanoke and I was like, oh okay,yeah, cool, that's beautiful.
See, it wasn't like anythingcrazy, yeah it was not anything
crazy and so, but it was a.

(16:45):
It was a different experienceafter you like, met Sid and had
to really kind of like tell yeahparents.

relationship with Sidney andwhat that was like coming out to

then didn't work out.
That was fine.
Um, I was like you know whatI'm going to put myself back out

(19:19):
there.
It just gave me the confidence.
You know, after not dating fora year, I'm like this gives me
the confidence I know what Iwant, like I know that I'm into
women.
So I made a hinge account,which was my first time making a
hinge account.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I haven't been on hinge in forever.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
I know, yeah, so me neither.

I have no idea how it works, soI didn't set my settings
correctly.
It like didn't offer to do it,so it just said she lived
downtown.

So we talked, like we vibed alot, we set up a FaceTime date

So my settings were at ahundred miles and she was 97
miles away.

But our FaceTime date just went so well and we just
connected like so immediatelythat we had our first date here,
we went to Mojitos and thenshe's like stayed over that
night and it was just likethat's, that's it, I don't know.
It was just like an immediateconnection.
I always tell her like the onething that like set me off for

(20:26):
being like you are the one isI've never wanted kids like ever

I still don't want to like hostanything within this bod, but,
um, she was saying her ideal isto one day like have a lake
house and so like her kids cango like play in the water and
her parents could, and this isanother whole thing.
But her parents could have alike second house, like an

(20:50):
in-law suite house, kind ofthing, so then they could free
nanny.
But I remember yeah I rememberhearing that and that normally
would like scare me off and belike shut it down.
We're moving on to the next oneand I was like you know what I
can like see that I couldactually picture it in my mind.
So, yeah, so we just long, longdistant, dated for I want to

(21:12):
say like a year, two months yougot that.
We you hauled really quick yeahwe you hauled in the fact that
we went on our first date.
We went on our second date.
We immediately started datingand then a week later we said I
love you.
But then after that, everythingwas normal.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
They are fitting the stereotype to a T.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
That's like low-key.
Like my roommates, theyliterally went on one date and I
was living with Brie and thenCasey essentially moved in that
night and they've been togetherever since, and that was back in
2018.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Yeah, been together ever since and that was back in
2018.
Yeah, so we didn't move intogether until, like, we were
dating for eight months to ayear.
I want to say time is a socialconstruct, so who even knows?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
go with it.
Mag, we'll go but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
So we ended up moving in together in my townhouse and
then that wasn't enough roombecause I've got a dog and she's
got two dogs and we didn't havea yard.
So we're like we need to buy ahouse.
And then we got two dogs and wedidn't have a yard, so we're
like we need to buy a house.
And then we found the housewe're in now, and so we bought a
house and moved in and it'sbeen history ever since.
So we got engaged last May andwe're getting married this
September.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
How long had did you date before you got engaged?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Okay, so November 2021,.
We got engaged last May, may.
So what is that?
A year and a half, okay, Ithink, if I'm not a math girly
so I couldn't tell you yeah butthat's a year and a half.
Yeah, you waited a normalamount of time for that I think
that's yeah, yeah, and part ofit's like I mean, we could have
waited longer, but at the sametime, you know, you know, you

(22:42):
already bought that house yeah,I've never like had any doubts
in my reservations or noreservations?
yeah, there's no.
Like weird, you know, get awayfrom me, or oh, you annoy me.
I'm so glad that you're likeshe still works in raleigh and
so she'll like commute to workand then she'll stay in raleigh
like one night a week just tolike save on gas and her sanity

(23:03):
yeah and I'm never like thankgod, you're staying away yeah,
you know it's like, oh, I missyou, like she was gone last
night and I'm like I can't waitto get home and see her.
She'll be home from work, soit's been.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's been great he's a great girl.
When did you decide that it wasreal enough for you to tell mom
and dad that you were?

Speaker 4 (23:22):
yeah, so that was that was definitely in the
u-haul phase.
So, my, if we back up, like myhistory of telling my parents
about people that I dated, whichhistorically was, sadly, men um
, my history with that was I'veprobably told them about two
people I've dated over mylifetime and I've maybe dated
four people, you know.

(23:42):
So I always waited like atleast 90 days because I knew I
would get sick of someone enoughat 90 days.
You know so for her it was twoweeks in and I was at my
parents' house to like dropGracie off because I was going
to go stay with her in Raleigh.
And they're like, oh, who areyou seeing?
Like what guy are you seeing?
Like what's his name?
I'm like, oh actually, ohactually, and it just it felt so

(24:05):
right.
I'm like you know what?
I have to do this now becauseI'm gonna do it in the future.
So I just said, like I'mactually seeing a woman and her
name is Sydney.
She's amazing, like she'shilarious, she's so loving,
she's got ambition, she's justlike the best person that I know
and we're really getting toknow each other.
So that's actually who I'mdating.
Like I like women and my that Iknow and we're really getting

(24:25):
to know each other.
So that's actually who I'mdating, like I like women and my
experience, I think, wasdifferent than Megan's with with
my mom's response and then mydad's also response you didn't
mention but, um, they just kindof like teared up a little bit
and they're like we love you andif that's like who you see
yourself with and thank you forcoming to us and like we would
love to meet her.

(24:45):
So they ended up meeting herlike a week or two later at my
birthday.
So yeah, it was, it wassurprising and it was very warm
and also coming out to mygrandma too.
So my dad's mom, who also grewup Baptist and she lives at
Salem town now.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh really.
Oh, that's cute.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah, but she, one of her best friends, is like the
super, like liberal formerpastor and they like do all of
these different workshops.
She's like working and learningmore and more and it's amazing.
But I had her over for dinnerand I remember coming you were
there, yeah and I remembercoming outdoor and like showing
her a picture like this is whoI'm seeing is sydney, and she

(25:25):
just gave me a big hug and I'mpretty sure at this point, like
sydney's in the will and all ofus have been kicked out oh yeah,
no mom is obsessed with sydneymom calls sydney more than she
calls me, like straight up, likeI never talk all the time like
all the time all the time.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, it is really sweet, I will say no.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
the first time you told my mom that you were gay,
you said this is my girlfriendSydney.
She said oh great, that's thetime that she realized you did
not mean girly friend yeah, hetook her two times to come out
to my mom because the first timedid not register.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
My mom was like girlfriend.
Yeah, it did it, did it justtook her a second.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
It was really tender.
Yeah, she like teared up.
It was very, very sweet, yeah,I think yeah, very shocking how
mom and dad were.
They were cool, cooler with itthan I thought they would be
when you came out and but I willsay, like they're, how have you
dealt with like their responsessince, with like some of the
things that they've told you?
If you want to talk about that,you don't have to.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Um, as far as stuff they've told me since then.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I mean the only stuff that I can think of how many
like we're going to come to yourengagement party and then yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
I think that that was more of a like repression thing
for me.
Yeah is they were like, oh no,we're not going to come to the
engagement party.
I'm like, well, they alreadyhad a vacation planned, so like
I'll just let them have thatexcuse, I guess.
But the only thing I can reallythink of and hopefully mom and
dad will never- listen to it.
I guess I don't think, but um isafter, like, I came out to my

(27:02):
parents you know, I guess I left, went about my business and my
mom like looked at my dad andwas like like what are we going
to do?
Like how are we going to dealwith this?
What are we going to do?
And my dad was like we're justgoing to love our daughter, you
know she's still our daughter.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's always the dads at least, that are like cool
with it.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
And it's the moms that are like ah.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Which is crazy, because my dad is the super
religious one and my mom is likenot.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
It makes no sense so that's really all.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
They haven't really said anything to me.
I know that, oh my gosh, so I'mnot a traditional type of
person regardless, but Sydneywanted to ask my parents
permission for you know, my handin marriage.
And God, I was like, pleasedon't do this and, if you do,
don't mention religion, becauseit's not a winning conversation.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
And she's like got it .
And then what does she do?
Opposite?
So apparently it was going welland they were like, yeah, you
know, like we love how you loveour daughter and all of that.
And then Sydney just mentionsreligion and then my dad just
goes off the deep end.
And then I get home and theconversation stopped.
I'm like, okay, I can tell thiswas not going.
Well, so she's, she came to me.

(28:18):
She's like I don't know if thatwas a yes or a no or what that
was, and it's it's because ofthat.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Okay, I'm going to smoothly transition into this
one.
So, uh, are you the only gayperson at your office?
How does that work?
That's a great question.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
How's it being gay?
Yeah, that's a great question.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
How's it being?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
gay being a PA.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
So there's like two sides to this, right, because
you have your office culture andthen you have like actually
seeing your patients.
And with office culture, I wasthe only gay person there, but I
, megan, can tell you I'm a likehardheaded, very like
independent, like I will own myshit kind of girly.
So once I came out, it's likethis is who I am.

(28:59):
You take it or leave it, yeah,and if you don't like it, you
can fuck right off.
So I was the only gay person atthe office and nobody gave a
shit.
Everybody was really happy.
They're like oh, we love Sydney.
Like once they met her andeverybody was cool.
Once they met her and everybodywas cool.
Now they ended up hiring twolesbian PAs.
One of them ended up going backto school.
The other one is still thereand she's about to go to PA

(29:23):
school and I'm like so I'm notthe only one now, yeah, yeah.
So she's, she's super cool.
But with patients it's a littlebit different.
You know, for most people Iwould say like 95% of people
it's like.
You know, I'll tell you I don'tlike to talk about myself or my
life, because that encounter isnot about me, I've never talked
to my doctor about like hisfamily life.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
So like, what are you up to?
Yeah Right.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, but like some people, when you say like, how's
your day, what are your plansthis week, and they like ask you
the same and I'll I'll answer.
And then some people willnotice like, oh, you're engaged,
like you know, is he treatingyou right?
I'm like, well, you know it'sactually a she or whatever, but
there are some that are justthose old farts and you just

(30:05):
kind of let it go or you don'trespond to it.
So there are some people thatit's just better to not even
talk about yourself too.
Yeah, so it's not hard, but weare in the bible belt.
Yeah, so there's a church.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
I've seen, I have made some shocked faces.
Do you have patients that cometo you because they're like oh,
I feel more comfortable with,like a gay person?

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I'm wondering that because over the past like
couple months I've had a lot ofgay and transgender patients
like more, more than most.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
I would feel more comfortable with my doctor when
I on my insurance.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I can like search for lgbtq plus friendly doctors so
I wonder if you come up as thatI would.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
I think you have to like register it as like you are
yeah, you know probably so, butI don't know if it's like a
word of mouth thing or what itis but I've had a lot of lesbian
lesbian, lesbian lesbianlesbian.
But yeah, I've definitely had alot more, and I think I mean, I
think that's important too,because even in friend groups,

(31:05):
you know, a lot of our, ourfriends, are straight Like a lot
of my best friends are straight, and that's great, but at the
same time it's hard because youcan't have the same kind of
understanding or you knowconversations.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
So I think it's great to have somebody that
understands you on thatfundamental level you know to go
see so do you think that that'slike going back to like the
friend thing, cause, yeah, like,most of your best friends are
straight.
Do you think that's somethingthat you feel like you're
lacking in Like?
Is that something you want forlike 2024?
To like make more gay friends?
Yeah, definitely I cause I feel, like all the people that we

(31:38):
know like love you.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
like his roommates love you, so it's just a matter
of like and I think, like whathappened there, because I met
like Bree and Casey and a lot ofthem just at like drag bunches
over like 2022.
But that was still.
I was in that weird phase ofit's the pandemic and should I?
Be, doing stuff versus not, andit's kind of like as a
healthcare hero you know, shouldI be going?

(32:04):
But you know it's.
I had that guilt phase of likeshould I even be going out right
now and like seeing people thataren't in your immediate bubble
or work?
So I feel like I kind of likeclosed the door on myself myself
, not hanging out with themsooner yeah so I definitely want
to try to reach out and makemore like lesbian friends gay
friends.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, yeah, no, and I it's not.
Yeah, it's like gay city hall.
It's called literally like it'sliterally gay city hall.
It's like the lesbian loungelike we everyone's welcome, big
ass couch.
We have a gay bar downstairsyeah, in the summer we just like
hang out outside and just likeshits and giggles, like whatever
I love S and G's.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah, I would love to take part in that this year
2024.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Make it more gay, make America gay again.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
That's a great yeah, we need that to be our merch.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Oh, okay, and me and I will be watching sports at
some point.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Okay, well, I don't care about that.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
I do love some sports I do love some sports.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, I'll get my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Oh amazing, finally somebody that does Bravo TV.

than that, oh, you're notbleeding.
Oh, those are fine well, I getmy nails done every three weeks,
oh yeah, so what a luxury.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I got right I just like you know if you did do your
nails you could buy a houseyeah, you're right, you're right
, you're right in this

Speaker 1 (35:51):
economy if you don't got mommy daddy money checks.
I don't know like I don't knowabout that.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
I yeah, no, I just tell myself I'm like I'm so poor
I don't spend money on anythingextravagant.
The one thing I'm gonna do formyself is get my nails done
that's because my best friendtold me because that was my news
resolution for 2023 was to belike more girly.
I know that sounds so silly,but my best friend she gets her
nails done all the time and shetold me she was like, yeah, the

(36:19):
best thing about having yournails done is it.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Even when you're wearing like a sweatshirt and
leggings, you still feel likesuper like you look put together
yeah, cause you could bewearing like fucking the worst
clothes ever.
Yeah, and people be like oh.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
And people be like oh , that's a style, oh, my gosh,
yeah, it's super hygienic andI'm really funny about nails and
feet and like hands and liketeeth, especially oh gosh, but
it's just like very hygienic andlike yeah, again it makes you
put very like together.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
I love it.
It makes me feel better aboutmyself because I stopped dyeing
my hair in that, because thatused to be my thing.
That like made me feel betterand now I'm more like and now
it's my natural color.
Because that was so freakingexpensive and I was spending
like 300 every few months forblonde hair when I was in
college and didn't have money,something like that.

(37:06):
It was just stupid.
And so this is what is, youknow, 65 every three weeks so
yeah, but you gotta treatyourself.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
You do, you just have to treat yourself.
I got a clutch sometimes and Igot an anchor with colt, like
every other day where's anchorcoffee?
What yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:25):
I haven't been, I've never been either.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
I'm actually like confused where it's at and I
don't believe it exists yeah,but I know it's there next, next
to Dram and Drought.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
It's a tucked away.
I'll never go to Remedy.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
That's like my coffee shop, but you don't go there
for coffee.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
You get alcohol there .

Speaker 3 (37:40):
No, I go there for coffee, I mean yes, por que no
los dos, but no, I get coffeethere like pretty regularly,
pretty regularly.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Okay, weekends before I get some wine.
Um and no, but I used to be abig camino whore.
Oh, I was there all the time.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
I just think it's overrated and like I just go to
the brookstown one all the timethat's where I used to go to.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
It was great before they renovated both of them,
fourth street, yeah but thenthey renovated both of them, and
now they're not as cozy as theyused to be, they're not cozy
they do have like a littlepastry though, and I love their
bread.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
I do go and get their bread, their bread and their
quiche.
The CD is nonsense.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Bobby Boy is great too, because their cold brews
are their ice cubes are actuallike cold brew, oh really.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
And then they make an ice cube out of it.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Oh, that's nice, so it never gets watered down.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, but the line there's oh it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
I just want to say something controversial.
I think bobby boy bake shop isoverrated.
As far as their pastries go,yeah, I think that they're a
little bit too outlandish andit's not I just want like a
basic panna chocolate.
You know, I just want achocolate croissant yeah and
there's just has like the nice.
I mean it looks like glass onthe top of it and it's just
extra.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I've never really had , I just get the coffee I like
kavista attached.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, I've had their like sandwiches before yeah, and
they're like prosciutto one isreally good on their back.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Oh my god, it's so good yeah yeah, yeah, because I
do see their pastries.
I'm like that looks really nice, but I'm not spending seven or
eight dollars on this yeah,strip of chocolate yeah yeah, no
, but I.
But I will spend like 20 a dayon coffee, so oh, yeah, for sure
.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
So, uh, our beautiful host, colt, had a birthday the
other day.

had, how many first off Jell-Oshots we had, before we even
went out.

It was a lot.
I don't really count them, andthey were not weak.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
They weren't.
They were thick.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
And then Greg was running around saying all right,
if you have to go to thebathroom, did it.
I'm pretty sure we had some atthe bar, oh, oh because everyone
had to walk you.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Yeah, when you left you had everyone had to take one
to go, yeah so we're doingjello shots at the bar um, but
anyway.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
So then, um how much was your tab?

Speaker 3 (42:30):

You're just going to keep doing it.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
No, I'm not Like we're going to stop.

Speaker 3 (42:50):

You know, connor, emily shows up like 10 minutes
later she had just went to aparty and I I don't even think

Speaker 2 (44:51):
That was beginning for us Like commendable.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah, that was a big old step and we had a full on
conversation Apparently we hadtwo full on conversations.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
And then Colton and I didn't we just met?

Speaker 2 (45:02):
briefly, that makes me feel better.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
And then Megan, we talked briefly and then I talked
to some girl beside thebathroom who I thought was
somebody else and I was like, oh, my gosh, yeah, how's boyfriend
.
And like she's full-on married.
It was like somebody totallydifferent.
I just got her confused.
So, yeah, that was, that was mymistake.
You can't even blame it onbeing drunk.
You're just an idiot oh yeah,no, you're not, you're not.
Hannah got it.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Oh my gosh yeah, yeah , but it was fun.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
And then me and soren and sarah all came back to my
house and watched mama mia andate pizza and garlic knots.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
It was amazing yeah, they had like a normal people
night oh yeah, no, because thenwe left, we went to single
brothers until they closed, Ithink, yeah, we were there till
they closed.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Yeah, so that's okay and then we went to reboot and
they were closed and I knockedon the door and I had to be like
, yeah, I know, this persondon't know that person.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
And then that's when everybody was like talking to me
about my boyfriend and how muchthey loved him and how they
were like but he's kind of arepublican and I had to be like,
but no, he just it's just ragebait, I swear it's rage that he
believes, but it's fine I'm likeno, it's rage bait.
But he, everybody was like oh mygod, he's so nice.

(46:14):
And then one of our friendslike sat me down and was like
you know, you?
Just you deserve somebody wholike believes the same things as
you.
And I'm like okay, we're nothaving this conversation right
now like please, yeah, I'm notgonna kiss you um yeah, I was
like this is not.
And then we tried so hard to goto ryan gosling and his
boyfriend's house after we kepttrying to get Ubers and couldn't

(46:37):
get one.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
You couldn't get Ubers.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
There was also no alcohol there either.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
So that's why we ended up just leaving and coming
back here.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Yeah, because everybody ended up here.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
We were like fuck it.
We're walking to my place which, luckily, is just like two
blocks, two blocks.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
And then we were here until 6am, I believe.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
I think I, and then we were here until 6 am, I
believe.
Yeah, I think we heard.
I think I was here till five,but then we forgot.
We thought we parked over nextdoor, but no, we parked all the
way over um by the conventioncenter.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
So we at 5 am were walking, the four of us uh, brie
wade um, greg and I to the caroh my god it was great, it was
freezing I just remember lookingup and everybody had left and I
was like, oh no, oh no, me andzach need to leave.
And then I like tried to asksome of our friends like, oh,
can you guys take us home?
Because one of them like hadstopped drinking like three
hours prior and was like, oh, wecould probably squeeze you in

(47:29):
our car.
And then there was like anotherperson at the party and they
were like we can take you homeand I was like oh, oh no I don't
know what to do I don't knowwhat to do.
And then we finally ended upgetting an uber, but I was just
like this is just.
It's the worst when you look upand realize everybody else has
already left and you'veoverstayed your welcome.
Oh, you didn't ever say you'rewelcome are you sure?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
because I you were like, went to bed, oh, I felt so
bad.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I think he just didn't feel, well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I think he was just like.
All right, it's my bedtime.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
I'm going to bed.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Which was fine and I think he was tired because he
took Peggy, the dog out and thenbrought her back and I think he
was just over it, yeah that'sfair, Because when we were
leaving he was taking Peggy out.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
I love that our birthdays are so close together,
because I hate being the centerof attention for a birthday so
it's like we're all celebratingyou, but I still get to see
people that I know and it'sclose to my birthday so I can
like.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
It was kind of all of our birthdays.
Yeah yeah, it was great, it wasso fun and we didn't go to jail
, which, like, thinking back onthe events of that night.
I'm like that's pretty solid,like we yeah, no one got a shout
out to.
I didn't throw a cake at somerandom guy that happened last
year.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Yeah, you threw cake at someone yeah, because someone
was like talking some likesomeone's talking shit and
connor was throwing cake squaresat him yeah, like talking shit
to our friends and I forget whowe only found this out recently
I didn't believe the story.
And then one of your friendswas like no, connor.
You literally took a Dewey'scake square and said don't you
fucking talk to my friends likethat?
And threw it into this man'scar.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Good for you.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Cause he was talking shit about, I think, a woman
well, one of the women with usand I was and then talking about
probably some gay shit and mebeing me thinking I, I can fight
anyone when I'm drunk Becauseyou like sports?
Yeah, I do.
I'll be like I'm like, yeah,I'm like an MMA fighter.
I don't care how big you are orhow, whatever.
But, yeah, apparently I threw acake square over the vintage
welling.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
We figured that out like on my birthday this year.
It took us a year for that.
I don't know who.
It was the guy.
Um, he's so sweet because hehas a twin brother, steven.
Steven, oh, steven was here tofind out the story.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah, but I don't know why.
I threw it exactly like whatyeah, I didn't really get the.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I don't think we some people remember that.
No one remembers.
We still have missing cameras.
We have disposable cameras fromthis year we're still missing
two of them because no one canremember I don't.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
I remember them being a bamboo, and then I don't
remember anything about them.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah, so that's super fun.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
They'll forever be lost, yeah someone's gonna get
that like, like, um, like doneor whatever, since I don't print
it and they're gonna be likewhat the hell?

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I really hope there's nothing incriminating I hope no
one took any photos in thebathroom yeah, I just flicked
the camera off.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Just every, every photo there's no but I don't.
Hopefully there's no yeahthere's no way.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Yeah, no, that's awful.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
No one's that stupid yeah, I know we're not putting
that in there stupid people inthis group.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Oh, yeah, yeah, that is true, that is true anyway, so
it's super fun.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
It was great.
Happy birthday.
I appreciate you guys comingand I did like shutting down the
bar basically.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Yeah, that was a fun time.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
It was a good bar to choose, because Sofa wouldn't
have filled it right.
It would have been like 60%,yeah, and so I think just being
able to take over and forceeveryone else out and make it
really gay, yeah it was funeveryone else out and make it
really gay yeah.
That's the key to getting thepeople you don't want there is
that they walk in and it's likegay city and and they see short

(51:11):
shorts and like gyrating.
They're probably going to turnaround and leave, you know, and
I want them to get the messageearly.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Like you probably shouldn't be here, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
And then everyone's making out.
I made out with two tables ofpeople at single brothers.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
So it didn't make out .
I kissed.
Yeah, you kiss everyone.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, you kiss me.
I remember that.
Yeah, we kissed.
I think you did kiss zach.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I just remember zach kissing those other two guys man
, it was a spend the bottle festthat night he was we were
always something we were, yeah,we were kissing.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Yeah, bitches were kissing, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
But hey, we all are.
We should probably all gettested immediately, but I feel
like we're all good.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
We're fine, we're fine.
I don't know all these peopleAnyway so that's the story of my
birthday.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Oh my god, so fun.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Can't wait for next year.
I think it'll be great.
I know Well.
Emily, thank you so much forjoining us today.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Thank, you guys for having me.
This has been such a joy.
Yeah, this is a pleasure welove having.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
You know, we've only had gay guests.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Yeah, oh yeah, we've only had gay people here.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Oh my God, yeah.
I never had a straightie.
Perfect, I think we need to get.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
We've heard enough straight stories.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Yeah, I think it's time to get on the grid.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
I'm over it.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Yeah, yeah, they, they all need to shut up.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
We're just, we're only going to bring them on one
episode so we can make fun ofthem, is that okay?

Speaker 4 (52:40):
I think that and my PA friends, but we've definitely
mentioned this about how weneed to bully just a little bit
more in this country MakeAmerica bully again.
You should bring somebody onjust to bully them just a little
bit.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
I do think about that a lot sometimes with the
younger kids.
Get that tail off, get thatfucking tail off.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Oh my god, are the bunny ears Actually.
You know why are you walkingaround with?

Speaker 2 (53:03):
a tail.
When the kid wore a trench coatin high school, we were all
like the fuck.
I mean obviously telltale signs, right, but really that's
fucking weird.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Yeah.
Um but I mean like that yeah, Ithink the tails, and also, if
you are going to allow, this isa hater take that I'm about to
say out loud while beingrecorded.
But if you as a parent are gonnalet your kid dye their hair in
middle school or high school,take them to a professional.

(53:32):
I'm so sick of manic paniccolors like neon pink, neon
green with your black roots justslick greasy.
You can be gay with and gothrough that experience without
having the worst hair colorimaginable.
Just get it professionally done.
That is one thing where wereally let our kids down.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
It's all about expressing who you are.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Express who you are Absolutely, live your truth.
Your fashion is all objective.
I want you to express yourself,but please, for the love of god
, or at least like invest insome dry shampoo like just a
little don't look so wrecked

Speaker 4 (54:11):
I mean just please like they have like colored dry
shampoo now.
So you have no excuse.
It's not all white baking,right exactly.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Yeah, you can.
I mean, you can figure thatstuff out fast, and I just think
that you, as a parent of a gaykid, have a responsibility to be
like you.
The one thing you're nevergoing to be bullied about is the
fact that you look so cuntright now like that's the thing,
is you?
Have the responsibility as aparent to be like yeah, they
might make fun of you becauseyou like dudes, but, man, you're
going to look real good whileyou do it we're going to start a

(54:40):
new non-profit like a wholemovement, and it's called like
look good, is this our start.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
A new nonprofit like a whole movement, and it's
called like Look Good, is thisour business idea that I was
trying to propose earlier.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
It's like opposite of Melania Trump Be Best, yeah,
yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
And we're just going to like, we're going to give
kids makeovers, or maybe betteryet we're just going to go on
TikTok and critique them.
We'll just do that.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
We're going to be their first bully.
Yeah, we're going to be theirfirst yeah well it better to
come from us than someone else.
Hello, sharks, I'm coming heretoday.

Just to read them.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
Who's saying Just, yeah, just be like that and that
.

Speaker 2 (55:25):

It was all these AI-generatedphotos about how it was going to
be a whole fully submersiveWilly Wonka experience.
You would be going through thechocolate factory, so all these
AI photos looked amazing.
So then people got there thatday.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
It literally people described it as looking like a
meth lab it was the funniestthing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
And then they AI generated the script for Willy
Wonka, and so he had.
Apparently there was a bad guy,and the bad guy's name was the
unknown.
It's just this man in a cloakand a wig.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
It was all gibberish, it was just gibberish words.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Maybe they thought like oh, it's themed.

And Oompa Loompa wrote this yes, true, it's like
the Chick-fil-A whatever signsthat are all misspelled, but
anyway.
So, yeah, it was like $40 toget in per person.
And then there was like abouncy house.

Yeah, best show 100% the best reality TV show I've
ever watched in my entire life.
And I'm such a Bravo head andhalf of those people are from
Bravo, so it's nice to see allof them kind of like come
together and just like.
Phaedra does such an impeccable.
She's such a villain.
She's such a villain and she'ssuch like an actor you know, she
just gives full drama and liketheater the entire time.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
It is absolutely beautiful.
Is Phaedra a housewife?
Yeah, she was on Atlanta, shegot kicked off because of some
really problematic kind of shitshe made problematic.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
really horrible rumors she made up.

Speaker 4 (01:06:44):
Yeah, she made up some really bad rumors, but she
got kicked off and then, youknow, as reality TV does, she
comes on back.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
The only show I watch is either like Southern charm
or um below deck and.
Kate from below decks on.
I love Kate.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
She's fucking hilarious she comes out of her
mouth.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
Like she's so good that comes out of her mouth.
Like she's so quick, quick, sheis quick as hell.
Yeah, she's amazing.
Yeah, like I I won't do anyspoilers for this season, but
like last season, she was sofunny when she wanted to get
kicked off.
She's like I'm trying to makeeverybody think I'm the traitor
and nobody believes me and I'mjust stuck here, I'm being held
hostage.
Get me out.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I just remembered spencer signed into peacock, so
I'm gonna I'm gonna watchtraders I'll watch it yeah I
have spencers, but I think hesigned me out damn, that's what
gets me through the week I'mlike, I'm so close to friday,
which is traders, he signed anairplane oh
my god remember when I lived atthe apartment downtown.
Y'all came over and we werewatching that one time.

(01:07:43):
And he doesn't have commercialsbecause he has money.
And so I'm like, oh, like, Iloved watching below deck
because I could watch an episodein like 40 minutes I, I did.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
I signed in on noah's and I had to that off because,
like then, he'd be watching andI was like he has my youtube tv
I need priority yeah, you'redone.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
Bitch, yeah, do you have any buzz kills for the week
.

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
Anything killing your vibe, killing my vibe, I mean
like deeply, like a little bit,yeah, but I don't want to bring
the vibe down.
But yeah, the whole IVF thingin Alabama is like a huge buzz
kill and pisses me off to myentire core.
Oh yeah, and pisses me off tomy entire core, oh yeah.

(01:08:30):
So I just, and the fact thatalso there's so much waving
between, like, what those peoplebelieve, like is it conception
or is it fermentation, orwhatever it's fertilization I've
been drinking fermentation, andyou know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
I have a medical degree um sure they all say yes,
but yeah, the fact that theycan't figure out.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
What do you actually believe?
And it's because they don'tbelieve any of it and they don't
care, they just are there tohurt people and it just it can
affect a lot of people's futureyeah so that's what has really
pissed me off and grinded mygears.
We've thought like what are wegonna do at the end of this year
if things like the tables turn?
We're going to move to Portugal.
So if anybody wants to make agay commune in Portugal, porto

(01:09:10):
is very gay friendly.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
I actually mean Spencer.
We're planning a trip to Sweden.
Because we're like if it goeswrong, we'll just stay.
Ship the animals over.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
That's smart.

Speaker 4 (01:09:21):
Make an exit strategy .

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Meg, what's your advice?

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
This is a really hard one to follow because I was
gonna make a joke.
Um, please, make a joke,lighten it up um I was gonna say
it's such a buzzkill that wehaven't seen kate middleton in
like two months and is shegetting a bbl or what?

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
what's the deal with that, because I keep seeing all
the tiktoks not ready for that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
I was like what is she about to say?
We haven't seen her in twomonths.
Are we sure she's?

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
alive.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
Are we sure.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
I mean it takes about two months to recover from a
BBL.
So that's what the sources aresaying.
I highly doubt she's getting aB.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
That woman is the size of this pole.
She has no fat to extract fromridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Yeah, she does no, but how funny would that be it
would be so funny.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Other people are saying that she was the unknown
from the willie walkerexperience.
So I mean, is it get your?
Back girl, I know the royalfamily is struggling right now
oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
So that was my, that was my buzzkill it's just, I
don't know well, I hope you getto see her soon.
I really do.
Oh my god, I miss her uhanyways mine's serious it's
wendy williams I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
That makes me so sad yeah, oh my gosh, I know she's
an icon I haven't watched thedoc, but I haven't I've seen
clips.
It just is so sad, like herfuture I know, and apparently
the clips that I've seen onTikTok of the documentary it's
like hard to watch, because shehas dementia now, right?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Which makes so much more sense as to her behavior.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Yeah, she's got primary progressive aphasia,
which like that clip where shejust stops talking.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
That's aphasia, like you, stop talking.
Oh, that was.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Yeah, that's what that was Her eyes are from
graves disease which is likethat thyroid disease and then,
it's frontotemporal uh dementiadementia, which a lot of times
is from drinking.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Yeah, really, because that's what bruce willis has
right and um, like, what's theprognosis of that?

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
it's not great there's yeah, I mean, it's just
a downhill battle.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
Yeah, so there's no really up and up for it, I know
and she was like such an iconand like I mean she really
worked her way up.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
She did yeah so her own words she was an icon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
She is a legend yeah, she's an icon, she's a legend.
Yeah, that's why she did thehot topics I love the hot topics
.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
I love the hot topics , yeah our t's and p's to wendy
williams.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
Yeah, yeah, for real t's and p's real hard.
Um, connor, what about you?
What's your buzzkill for theweek?

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
honestly, it's gonna be probably be this for like a
while this year, since we're inan election year, but like it's
this whole election, like it'sjust absolutely heavy, like we
know who the two people areprobably gonna be like.
It's gonna be trump and biden.
I fucking gin yeah and so it'sjust like, what are we doing,
Like you know, as like ourcountry.
And so I feel like that.

(01:12:09):
I've just been like you know,now that we're about to start
going out to the polls again andlike all that, I'm just like
geez, here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
It's exhausting it absolutely is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
And it's just like the media, too, just stirs it
all up.
It makes it worse, yes, but itall up.
It makes it worse, yes, but um.
Yeah, that's just like I don'tknow this whole like unknown of
it yeah at all.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
It really is crazy because it's just like it sucks
to think about, like howeverything has just been going
so directly south for like eightyears, basically like all
through trump's presidency andthen all through biden's
presidency.
It is just like slowly, oractually pretty fast I, I guess,
gotten worse.
It really is so shitty to thinkwe couldn't come up with

(01:12:50):
anything better other than thosetwo.
We already saw the last eightyears.
Why do we want a repeat ofeither of them?

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
It's not our parents' Republican party.
It's almost a choice.
At this point, I feel like it'sa choice.
Do I think that we should havesomebody else?

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
yes, yeah it's like he's old.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
I don't think he's, you know, the best fit for the
job, but it's that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
It's like democracy or dictatorship yeah, like I
don't really like, I'm gonnachoose biden all the way because
, like I, kind of want to keep ademocracy like yeah, no,
because I kind of want to keep ademocracy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Like yeah, no actually very much want to keep
a democracy.

to end democracy.
We tried to do it on january 6.
We weren't successful, so let'sbe successful this time.
And people like cheered it,yeah, so it's like okay, yeah,
that's like that I mean he's

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
already said, he was like, of course I'm gonna be a
dictator day one and then I'llbe like a president, but first
day we gotta knock some shit outand like I got to make some
decisions and do stuff and it'slike it.
It's terrifying, yeah, becausenow, like I feel like you've
seen what you can get away withyeah, it's true yeah damn it's
gonna

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
be a lot well, it's like that south park episode
