Get ready for a rollercoaster of fun as Season 3 of the Don't Make it Weird Podcast kicks off with Daniel and Dina's wild banter. Dina's amusing fact-sharing and her carefree bottle-of-margarita antics set the stage for a series of hilarious and heartfelt revelations, including a milestone in her personal life.

Dina takes us on an emotional yet humorous journey as she talks about pausing her Discerners Trilogy to pen a memoir about her cult experiences. Meanwhile, Daniel vents his frustrations over the editorial challenges of his Cryptic Protection Agency series, while Sean brims with excitement over redesigning the podcast's logo.

Switching gears, we dive into the intriguing world of genre jumping in writing, celebrating the successes and pitfalls of authors who venture beyond their comfort zones. With examples ranging from Joe Abercrombie's genre-blending masterpieces to J.K. Rowling's less-than-stellar genre shifts, we explore the necessity of respecting the beats and nuances of new genres. Personal anecdotes about arranged marriage expectations and humorous interspecies relationship scenarios keep the laughs coming, while providing food for thought on the complexities of writing and relationships.

corner jerking off whileeveryone else did everything uh,
it still counts um this is justa frown, it's not a smile

(07:37):
smiling frowns.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
We got our episode today, guys.
Um, but what do you guys thinkhappens after the orgy ends,
like?
What kind of conversation doyou have with people like, like,
because there's like anetiquette to leaving, like any?
Social gathering or party, yeah, but, but that's what I'm
saying.
But like, do you go say bye toeveryone?
Do you say like hey, I'll seeyou next time?

(08:00):
Like what's the orgy etiquette?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
you have to like check in to make sure that
everybody's finished this is theimportant question.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Someone goes around with a clipboard, yeah someone
goes around with a clipboard andtakes checks off everyone's
name it's like, satisfied withyour experience so, like,
everyone who did a here at thebeginning of the experience has
a chance at the end to saywhether or not they were done
doing the deed.
Also, there has to be thatawkward thing where everyone's
like has anyone seen myunderwear?

(08:29):
And everyone's like, walkingaround in circles, who knows
where your clothes are?
Yeah, um, also, there's got tobe like weird small talk while,
like, someone's partner iswaiting for someone else to find
their clothes.
So they're like, so, uh, howabout them celtics?
Huh, that game last night.
That was wild man yeah prettywild.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Like then they're just standing there naked and
like are you the rude one ifyou're the first person to leave
the orgy?
Like, like, like.
What's the time frame here?
I?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
feel like you.
You gotta kind of do you get a?

Speaker 2 (09:01):

You got to keep theelectrolytes up.
I'm out.
Yeah, there has to be a goodspread Like what's the point of
an orgy if you don't yeah.
Or I'm out.
That's Sean's deal breaker.
It's none of the rest of itit's.
Is there snacks?
Also a good question.
Do you bring snacks to an orgy?
What is an appropriate orgysnack?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
you definitely do, because in the magicians and
that orgy scene, everybody theyhad good food so, okay, there's
like a craft services table, butit's off to the side, no one
wants to go to the bed.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Don't eat goldfish crackers during, unless you're
gonna go off to the snack tableon the side like is it just like
one giant like pineapple spread?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
like is it just like hey, listen guys, we're not
saying you need to you gottahave some like caprese um
skewers.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Right, that's fancy.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, everything's on the skewer no one wants anyone
to actually touch the food likeyeah, yeah, it needs to be like,
yeah, this needs to behands-free, like non-messy no
tuna oh, no tuna, oh no tuna.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, you do not bring tuna to an orgy no quiche will
have I don't like the idea ofcrummy foods in that situation I
could just imagine it's like uhyeah, this is my wife, like she
brought the quiche today cheeseand and cured meats and fresh
fruit.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Grapes, for sure.
Grapes, yeah, and strawberries.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Do you have a?

Speaker 3 (10:35):
fondue fountain.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
You see, I feel like injuries could happen.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
People get too excited.
Try to incorporate hotchocolate or chocolate into the
situation.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, you're there for pleasure, not pain.
Dina, what kind of weird orgy.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Do you want to make People do crazy stuff with
chocolate and cheese, bro Flip,that that's true, that's for
TikTok.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
So, guys, I need you guys to dim the lights.
Leave your disbelief at thedoor.
Play some spooky mood music,because it is time for dina's
tiktok conspiracy corner.
It got lost our budget forseason three, so we don't have
sound effects anymore we've gotfull immersion.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
This is great um.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
So google maps is in cahoots with the government and
all of the big petrol companiesand they, you know when, like
you select, like a fat, thefastest route or the most fuel
efficient route.
Sometimes, if you have you evernoticed that, like, if you go
your own way instead offollowing the gps, you get there

(11:42):
faster than the gps said, evenon the fastest route.
So the theory, is that googlemaps is adding time to your
route and making you go up somelike a direction that will take
just a little bit longer, notenough to notice, but just
enough so that you're using moregas, so that you're spending

(12:03):
more money on fuel oh shit, thatcould actually be.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
First of all can I just say how thankful I am that
you can I just say how thankfulI am that you didn't say google
maps is not real.
I thought we're for sure thisis gonna be google maps and then
you paused and I was like, ohgod, she's gonna say it.
And then you said what you saidand I'm so thankful.

(12:30):
Second of all yes, every singleday I go off route.
First, of all I use google mapsevery single time I go anywhere
and people think it's because Irely on gps, and that's not true
.
It's because I want an eta andI want to see traffic estimates.
It's not because I need thedirections, so I often go off
the directions that Google wantsme to take.
And taking my daughter toschool, I take an alternate

(12:53):
route that's longer technically,mileage wise, but it takes less
time because there's lesstraffic on that route.
And every time it says lesstime on the ETA to get there,
even though it told me I was onthe fastest route before wow,
all right, so this is okay.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
So so does this extend to like apple maps ways,
like is this a a full-on?
Like?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
definitely apple maps um there's questions about
google, so I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
So then, yeah, it would include ways with the way.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Wait okay.
First of all, I didn't knowthat I believe you, but I didn't
know that I believe you, but Ididn't know that.
So Google Maps competes againstitself with Waze.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
A lot of companies can analyze their own products.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
They buy their competition, so they're not
technically competing.
Whoever does better wins in theend anyway.
The only difference is, I think, that there's more options and
ways to report stuff on the roadyes and stuff like that.
So I think what they do is takethe data from ways and put it
into google maps so like theyhave location data.

(13:55):
They have accidents,construction, speed traps, all
that stuff reported to googlemaps by community gathered data
from Waze.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Okay, so we're saying that every GPS is under Big
Oil's thumb.
Is that a fair?
You know what I know?
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I believe this one.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
But this one makes a lot of sense.
You know what?
I'm going to put on the tinfoilhat.
I think this one's a real one,Sean.
What about you, buddy?
Yeah, I'm in.
I'm going to put on the tinfoilhat.
I think this one's a real one,Sean.
What?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
about you, buddy?
Yeah, I'm in, I'm fully in.
The evidence speaks for itself.
So there we go.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
We are either fully embracing conspiracies here on
Don't Make it Weird or we'vestumbled on to a real truth.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Next time Flat Earth.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
That's another very factual one.
So, yes, I'm with you on onflat earth.
I'm very excited about that.
Um so, dina, now that we'vegiven a great truth to the
audience, I think that it isimportant that we get onto a
segment that we in no way stolefrom anyone else, a completely
original segment.
Don't look up the we haveissues podcast, don't you know?

(15:00):
Check out Anthony and Stevieand their amazing art and comic
books and deathless and, uh, alltheir incredible work that they
do.
Don't do that.
Okay, just trust us.
Just trust us, because it'stime for the accountability
segment, where we hold ourselvesaccountable for all the amazing
progress we're making in ourwriting.
Dina, where have you been at?
What have you been up to?

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Honestly, I gave up on my discerners trilogy.
I have not been writing bookthree at all.
Don't care about it.
Maybe I'll come back to it,maybe I won't, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Book two is coming out soon, you guys should
totally preorder the book in theseries that she doesn't care
about.
You should totally do that.
There's no promise in bookthree.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
If you guys preorder it, then maybe I'll write book
three.
Right now I kind of feel likenobody really cares, so I'm like
I'm not going to really investa lot of time because Disagree
Shut the fuck up, daniel,because I actually started
writing a memoir on which soundsso pretentious about my time in

(16:01):
the cult and it's actually.
It is super pretentious andit's actually been super, super
fun and I'm like actually superexcited about writing right now.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm like 30k that's incredible and first of all, I
mean that's the part of thewriting journey, man.
You write what you enjoy, like.
No one says that you have to, Imean, unless you're under a,
you know, six-figure contractfrom a big publisher um, that
you have to just stick to oneproject at a time.
I mean a lot of famous authors,man, they they're working on
multiple books and you know, Ithink it's kind of you find that
wave that's interesting to youand god knows that you've had if

(16:33):
you've been following.
Don't make it weird.
I think we can agree that deanhas had an exciting life, is
that?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
she's been reliving her traumas through this memoir
honestly, I thought that I wasover a lot of it.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I'm not so that's been fun you think, to really
just relive the anguish?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
no, but I've been doing a lot of random stalking,
like online stalking that'strying to find where people are
honey see what they're up to getthe where I know you know what
I actually want to.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I think we can before we get to that.
I think that that's a goodfollow, because I would love to
know a little bit more in afuture episode.
You know, maybe like a littleteaser for your memoir about
where some of the characters ofyour life are have ended up.
So I think that's John.
Can you just go ahead and savethat?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
bunch of people have cancer.
Honestly fuck Tina Jesus.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Don't you just go ahead and save that bunch of
people have cancer.
Honestly, fuck Jesus.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
Um, yeah, okay, I don't knowhow to segue on that one, but uh
, so as far as my writing, uh,I've got my first dev edit notes
back, uh, for my second book inthe cryptic protection agency,
and now I actually just need tofollow the advice of my editor

(17:49):
and actually do things that arewriting related.
I'm not sure I remember how,though.
Oh, I thought you just hitaccept all.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I thought you just.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, but see, she's learned, she's learned.
So she doesn't give mesuggestions, she just asks
questions.
So now I actually have toanswer it.
What a clever bitch.
I know it's bullshit, man.
She'll be like hey, so Do youthink that that's the best way
you want your character to reactto this situation?
I'll be like Fucking hellAshley fuck, I know, I know she

(18:26):
got around my except all andit's it's ridiculous that I
actually have to like yeah, dumb, fine, makes me a better writer
and she's an incredible editor,and I will finish this book
kicking and screaming one way oranother, sean.
What about you, bud?
What you been up to as thoseincredible devil bags?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Nothing at all.
Actually, I redesigned our logo, hey that's right.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Season three we got a new logo yeah, so I'm pretty
pumped about that also I amproducing episode 200 of.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
We have issues live pretty soon.
I don't know if this will airbefore that, probably not.
But yeah, I'm doing a littleprep for that.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
But very exciting.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Those guys are I wonder what it's like to have a
show that like consistentlyrecords.
That's so cool.
Yeah, that's going to be such,such an exciting thing.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
But hey, at least Levi's motivated me to record
again, because that's the onlyway I'm going to get someone to
read my book.
So you know I'm OK and open tobribes.
Um, you know what are you justeating straight with your finger
there, bud taheen taheen likeon this.

(19:53):
On the side, though, she's likebut you still want the, you
still want the experience.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
You know what I love it tahina's the best margarita
rim or rimmer.
Yeah, so for our audio onlylisteners dina actually won the
best rimmer award.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
That's why she gets invited to all the orgies and
dina knows about rumors y'all um.
What were we talking about?

Speaker 1 (20:26):
nothing now, man, I'm distracted.
I'm distracted, but you knowwhat?
We also need a couple morefollow-ups here, dina, because
you've really let us down.
Number one the folks want toknow what's going on with your
Neopets.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Oh yeah, she's dying because all that I do is log in
and collect my Trudy surpriseand my bank interest for the day
, because I want to be like aquadrillionaire.
So I'm just collecting a bunchof cash and I haven't better at
all.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
I don't want to go buy food.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
How long can your Neopets survive on you just
killing it slowly like this?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
My approximation based on when the last time I
logged in before this was 10years.
Do they actually die, though,or is it like a Tamagotchi,
where they're?

Speaker 3 (21:16):
always on the brink of death, but they'll never
actually die.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I think it's that.
I think that it's just likedying and they look like and
they're crying and like in apuddle of waste.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
But but if they don't actually die, there's no stakes
.
So who cares?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
so yeah, I just want my money.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
So just to just so I can get this straight your
immortal pet that cannot die isliving in a constant state of
starvation and in its own filth.
That it can't okay, is that?
Is that accurate?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
We're going to be using I don't know, I wasn't
paying attention we're going touse the cards from this Hot Ones
branded game, Truth or Dab.
Except it's going to be Truthor Drink.
And I don't know about you guys, but I prepared some pretty
wild shit to drink.
I'm not just going to drinkwhat I'm already drinking, which
is Corona Extra, not a sponsor,Yep, All right.

(29:05):
In truth or dab, each player isasked a question In turn.
If they answer, it must behonest.
If they refuse to answer, theymust take a drink, and today
I'll be starting with Dina.
That one's too easy.
Who's the grossest person inthe room?

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I mean hey, fuck you.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Daniel, why did you make an?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
assumption.
I think we did.
I think everyone knows Why'dyou say fuck you.
I didn't even say anything.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It's kind of like You're an asshole, you're right,
but you're still an asshole,like it's that You're not wrong,
walter.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
You're just an asshole.
Okay then, yeah, yeah, you'renot wrong, walter, you're just
an asshole.
Okay then, yeah yeah, all right, dina.
When was the last time?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
you were rejected, and how did it happen?

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Like sexually.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I mean, there's a lot of ways to be rejected.
Is that the way to ship theroad you want to go down?
Um, the time that that guy saidthat I wasn't hot enough to
date him and how'd you react?

Speaker 3 (30:06):
it was an episode.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I cried, I cried.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
I really wish we'd followed up on the blog and
rejected sexually, but I canunderstand why you wouldn't
answer that as well could youimagine if she was through all
the trouble of like showeringand putting new sheets out?

Speaker 4 (30:25):
You can't fuss.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Like it really has to be Pavlovian, like anytime.
Like Tim hears the showerrunning, he wonders why he
suddenly is aroused.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Listen, I like to be clean.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I like to be clean, to be dirty, daniel.
Yes, if you could be somethingother than human, what would it
be?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Duckville.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
platypus Of course you want to add some color to
that answer or just leave itthere, nope?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Right there, because they're fucking weird animals
and they're awesome and they'rekind of cute, but also poisonous
, and they're one of the onlyanimals I think.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Shut up?
No, they're not.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, they are, and they are the only mammal that
lays eggs, and so I feel likethat's a pretty unique animal.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
I think that Dina would agree that the duck-billed
platypus is proof that God hasa sense of humor.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I mean, I think that every time I look at Daniel,
it's also very true.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Can you imagine Noah and Noah's Ark?
He's just like all right.
Giraffes, yeah.
Check Elephants, check Monkeys.
The fuck is this thing, man, Ifeel like a beaver just fucked a
duck on the ark, god's justlike listen this, this flood's
happening we're bringing thisguy along.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
You know what I ran out of ideas anyway, let's see
what happens.
It comes, let's just all right.
I love it for me who herescrewed you over and didn't
invite you to their birthday,wedding or some other event.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Sean was the best man at my wedding, but continue.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
I wasn't the best man at his wedding.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
You were the best man , you were co-best man, bestest
minch.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
There you go.
It's so funny because he never.
He never put it that way untillike 10 years later.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
You gave a speech.
You were the only other personto give a speech.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Did he tell you when he asked me to give a speech?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
I'm sure I gave you plenty of fair warning and
didn't tell you the night before.
There's no way.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
It was the afternoon before he said, hey, just
throwing this out there, do youwant to like say something at
the reception Like a speechthing?
And I was like sure, saysomething at the reception like
like a speech thing.
And I was like sure.
And then I furiously wrote aspeech, while me and another one
of the groomsmen were likerunning around running errands

(32:52):
for him, because he also forgotto get his wife the gift what go
get it no because I did hand Ihand-wrote a poem and put it in
little milk glasses.
Yeah, you've got the milkglasses, dummy, Fuck, you're
right man.
I'm super irresponsible, josh,and I went to like eight
different places to findvintage-looking milk bottles so

(33:15):
that you could fulfill that gift.
And he doesn't even rememberthat I totally While.
Josh was driving around whilewe were looking for these milk
bottles.
I'm like anxious as fuckwriting this speech that I got
no notice to write.
Did you say no to the fuckinggroom if he wanted to say a
speech?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
If it's Daniel, I'm sure this was very well planned
and that this was all part ofthe pre-wedding checklist.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
By the way, I wasn't gonna say you for this card.
I was gonna say dina didn'tinvite me to zebra's birthday

Um.
Oh my god, dina, when was thelast time you cried and what
made you cry?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
That's not going to be a funny answer.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
I can't add Mike Jones to try to make it funny.
Two or three days ago, I thinkit was three.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Do you want me to answer or no?

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I'm going to cry right now.
Right now is the answer.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
No, it was like I think it was three, maybe four
days ago.
I went to go pump and I justcried because I didn't want to
do it anymore, so I decided thatI would stop pumping.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Have you considered frowning as a smile?

Speaker 3 (39:31):
And her son hasn't eaten in days as a result.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
If she basically we've established that Dina
treats her son like her fuckingneopet is what we've just said.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I'm collecting bank interest, I'm just kidding
Daniel how much money do youhave in your bank account right
now?

Speaker 1 (40:00):
it's too depressing, I'm going to drink.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
All right.
Yeah, it's been pretty roughout here.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
I can't think of my own question.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
You should ask how much is on our credit card.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Ask how crippling my debt is.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Because I have $30,000 in credit card debt.
When they call, I tell them Ican't pay it back yet.
Credit card debt.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Not telling you that Um, who in this room is probably
better at oral sex than you,are Fucking nobody, and that Wow
Threw down the gauntlet.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Oh shit, oh shit, jesus, jesus, jesus threw down
the gauntlet.
Oh shit, oh shit, jesus.
Alright, sean, but you knowwhat?
I'm gonna ask a spin on thisquestion because I think that's
a good one to end on.
But yeah, fucking, now weunderstand um same question.
But if your gender was reversed, who do you think would be the

(41:01):
best at oral sex here?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Like if I was a guy who would be the best.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yes, like so.
Would you, as a guy, be bettergiving oral sex?

Speaker 3 (41:11):
to another girl.
Wait, is it only genders thatchange, or is it also sexual
preferences?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
I'm assuming we're all straight people.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I assume we just like swapped, yes, like a direct
swapped.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Like a direct opposite.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yes, direct opposite Okay.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
So wait no, you gotta finish this.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
So if I was a guy, Would you be better at going
down on a girl than Sean wouldat giving a blowjob to a man, or
me giving a blowjob to a man,or me giving a blowjob to a man,
since me and Sean are now bothwomen.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I don't.
Maybe not, dina, you're gonnahave to answer what maybe not no
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Listen, I've never done it, but I feel like I'm uh
I'm extremely, uh, I'm extremelypassionate about you know,
pleasing your oral sex so I Ifeel like I would be very, very
good at it.
I feel like I know my wayaround my own situation.

(42:16):
Yeah, I can't you know, I can'tblow myself or anything but not
with that.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
I could, I would.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
I mean obviously, uh, and I feel like I, I would know
how to do it right and I feellike I would, I like I, I would
know how to do it right, and Ifeel like I would.
I would have the, the uh,perseverance, I mean listen, do
it.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
So I, you know what.
You have already thrown downthe gauntlet, sean, and said
that you are the man at this.
Um, our other friend, josh, whoisn't here, is obviously the
correct answer, but barring joshbeing here, um, yeah, you know
what I'm gonna go with sean here.
Uh, men are a lot lesscomplicated than women, dina, so
I'm with you on that front.
You know, we're all like it's apretty it's better universal.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Yeah, we're universal , remote, basically, um but
women are like the high techyeah, just a little tickle just
tapping on this thing, I'll setthe mood Really.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
No, I feel like women .
I just got to heat in myfucking eye.
No, I feel like women, I'msorry.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
It's called Taysian.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Taysian Taysian.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
All right, you know what?
I think that that's a goodanswer.
Sean is the oral champion ofdon't make it weird.
For both gender, undisputed.
The oral champion of don't makeit weird, uh, for both genders,
undisputed, undisputed.
Yeah, I'm with you, buddy.
Well, guys, uh, that's been avery successful game segment
that I think is invigorating andis very exciting to our
audience uh sean, would youagree?
So exciting uh, so you knowwhat we're gonna go ahead, I'm

(43:46):
going blind, I sorry, that'swhat she said.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Yeah, also, ladies wear eye protection, all right.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
We can't control this shit.
It's like a fire hose.
Ladies, we're just looking outfor you Also dudes like chicks
and glasses.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
I don't know if you're aware, oh fuck.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
It is hot.
Girls and glasses are.
Don't know if you're aware.
Oh fuck, it is hot.
Girls and glasses are hot.
It is especially if they'restaring at me with disapproval,
like sean right now disapprovaldina don't kink.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Shame me okay dina, how's your eye?

Speaker 1 (44:30):
I'm doing okay, bud, and she's going back in for more
, despite her eye hurting her.
She is, she is.
Just how many times does ittake for your family to learn a
lesson?

Speaker 3 (44:39):
you were talking about this off air three feet
you have to join three cultsbefore you learn your lesson
yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
So my son fell out of the bathtub and he immediately
tried to climb back out and fallback out again, busted his face
open oh yeah, it's really badtoday blood everywhere it looked
like a scene from dexter, yepyeah, it was really.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
We're not pointing fingers at who was watching him.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
We're not pointing fingers not me, that's for damn
sure if it weren't for daniel,we would have seen dina covered
in blood yesterday.
It would have been amazing.
Yeah, it would have been likeCreed when he was like it's
Halloween.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
That is really really good timing.
That's convenient.
Yeah no, my family takes threetimes to learn lessons, and so
apparently so does my son.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yep, and right now she's only on Tajan number one
accident.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
so no, that was actually two.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
I spelt it all in my seat before we started recording
we're at two, so uh, tune infolks to see if dina hits number
three, uh, but we're gonna puton our serious author hats here
for a second and, uh, we'regonna talk about a little, a
little bit of what it takes towrite outside your genre and if
we like authors that do like youknow the successful ones and

(45:57):
unsuccessful ones, things likethat, dina, what are your
thoughts?

Speaker 2 (46:03):
yeah.
So I feel like it's becomingreally trendy for authors to try
to get into romanticism andlike they're not typically
romanticist authors and theylike they typically do hardcore
fantasy or they write mysterylike they go completely off base

(46:25):
and like try to like jumpgenres because they don't have
an understanding of what othergenres take.
And that's not to say thateverybody is like you have to
stick to one genre, but we allhave like our specialty and our
niche and I think that you haveto take time to fully grasp and

(46:46):
like read a lot of the othergenre that you're trying to hop
to before you're able toskillfully make that transition,
like going from writing YA to,um, writing a memoir now, like
nonfiction it's, it's totallydifferent, it's so, it's it's
difficult and it's like hard totry to find your voice within

(47:10):
that genre and and I mean so,like maybe just find your voice
within that genre and and I meanso like maybe just playing
devil's advocate here, don't?

Speaker 1 (47:15):
don't you think there could be something said to a
fresh perspective on the genreby someone who's kind of like an
outsider on it?
Um, like for example.
Joe Abercrombie is is a reallyfamous kind of grim dark fantasy
author.
But he says that uh, outside ofwhat he writes, he almost like
exclusively reads nonfiction.
And he said that like his kindof almost go to would be a

(47:37):
nonfiction author but he kind oftakes that historical
nonfiction style and brings itto a fantasy genre and so you
know he's kind of unique in itbecause he says he doesn't want
to read stuff from hiscompetition.
You know a little bit oftongue-in-cheek but you know,
like what do you think would bethe benefits of kind of being

(47:58):
the outsider in a genre?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
well, I think that it depends on if you read that
genre too.
Like you still have to have anunderstanding of the beats and
where everything lies.
But I but yeah, like you'redefinitely not going to repeat
ideas and like you're not goingto be risking telling the same
story in a different like withdifferent character names and

(48:20):
the same voice, and all thatbecause I know I've seen a lot
of indie and self-pub authorsthat write so many different
series and when you actuallyread the series it's the same
exact characters, the same exactvoice.
They just change their namesand like that's really
frustrating and at that point Iwould probably say that they

(48:40):
should genre jump a little bit.
Yeah, get some fresh eyes outhere.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Like and that makes a lot of sense and, like you know
, a really famous uh, and eventhough they're even though it's
kind of like a sister genre, Iwould say that the, the author
of fourth wing, um, is a goodkind of example of a genre.
Hop, I mean, even though I havea lot of feelings about that
book, that that can be a wholeother podcast.
Um, she was a romance author.

(49:06):
That what wrote like 12 or 13books before getting into fourth
wing.
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
something like that.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
I don't remember yeah and all romance and then jumped
into the fantasy elements andwhat actually is funny at least
my perspective on it, and I'mnot gonna go into it, I'm not
gonna get triggered, but I wouldsay the fantasy elements of
that book are the strongestelements, that, like I would
argue that the romance elementsAre the weakest elements of that

(49:34):
book.
So she Absolutely Jumped into agenre and really excelled at
the elements that weren't in hercore.
It wasn't just like oh, asmooth transition, like Would
you say that's kind of accurate.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember Another author that did
something similar.
Well, not similar, but like theopposite.
Who's the author of the HungerGames series?

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Suzanne Collins, yeah .

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Suzanne Collins All right, she genre hopped.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Her other books have kind of flopped, like not
totally flopped but have they'renot as successful, and it shows
that she should have stayed indystopian, in my opinion yeah,
well, I mean, like, listen, jkrawlings is a really good
example of and listen, we'retalking purely about writing,

(50:26):
not all the other crap that'sgoing on in her life, because
obviously, uh, fuck 95 of herpersonality on twitter, um, but
she wrote the casual vacancy andshe even originally put it
under a different pen name.
Yeah, exactly, she wrote awhole book in a whole different
genre and she even tried to doit under a different pen name
because she was so confident ofher writing ability and that she

(50:50):
could do this, and it floppedand it only somewhat picked up
when it was actually revealed.
Hey, this is jk rowling, um,but I know a lot of harry potter
fans did not enjoy the book, um, and so you know that there's a
little bit of an ego.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I think that can sometimes, uh, go into that as
well, you know I think thatwhether you've had success in a
genre or haven't had success ina genre, it that will play into
it a lot like she had successand she thought that that made
her the world's greatest writer,but obviously not like
sometimes.
This is what you should do, andsometimes you should jump and

(51:27):
you should do like what rebeccayaros did and you should jump
and you should do like whatRebecca Yara's did, and she had.
She found a lot of success, butI also think that a lot of like
sometimes people genres jumpwithout having any knowledge of
the genre that they're going to.
They see it becoming popular.

(51:47):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
I don't know.
I was going to say, and I and Ihonestly think that that's kind
of really disrespectful,because you know, like we've
talked about how my views havechanged on romance novels, you
know, just by being in this showand reading the books and stuff
like that.
But for me to to hop in and belike hey, listen, I think I'm a
good writer and I do fantasy, Icould jump in and tell a tale of

(52:10):
two people boning, like I thinkthat that's disrespectful to it
, that if you do want a genre,hop which I'm all for people
doing uh, kind of going off ofwhat you say like you need to do
your research, you need tounderstand it and not just try
to jump in on a cash grab, youknow yeah, a cash grab is key
there and, like we talked aboutit on an earlier episode, about
formula writing and growing as awriter, like I have sort like I

(52:35):
still agree with what I saidbefore, but I've sort of I have
an understanding for it more now.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Um, because there is, there are certain beats that as
a writer, your brain, as areader, your brain is expecting.
So the beats of romance, likeI'm focusing on romanticity, but
, um, the beats of that matter,and a lot of times people you
know they, they think that oh, Ican write romance, I can write

(53:01):
romanticity, it's easy, it'spopular on tiktok, let me, it's
a good cash grab and they don'tunderstand that.
There's beats that the readersare looking for.
Whether they know it,consciously or subconsciously,
they're still looking for it,they still there's.
It focuses on relationship, notjust sex, and people think, oh,
sex sells and like they fixateon that and they don't pay
attention to the feelings aspectof it.
Because when you're readingromance and romanticy, you're

(53:24):
like the sex scenes and like theromance of it all.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
They're focusing on feeling, not sex, and people
miss that so often and theythink that just they can just do
like a quick cash grab, getpopular in the romanticist genre
and then their other books willtake off or something yeah, and
and like and honestly, I meanit's something that when you've
beta read for me before andstuff, and, like you know,
giving me feedback on some of mystuff, and it was something

(53:48):
that I had to kind of change mymentality on because in general,
like again, I'm a fantasyauthor.
I don't really delve too muchinto the sexual, like sex scenes
and stuff.
I mean, I know fantasy doesthat some, but like my personal
preference on my own writingstyle is a little bit more fade
to black, where I don't like toget too graphic, I just want to
go there.
But, like, there's beenmultiple times where you've said

(54:09):
like, hey, this is a male gaze,no one cares about how shapely
this girl is, and I'm not a youknow, boobying down the stairs
kind of author, but like that,as a guy I'm like, yeah, man,
she took her shirt off.
This is fucking awesome.
But for everyone else, there isa more nuance to it, where it's
like, hey, listen, focus onthis.

(54:29):
Like you've said, it's focusingon the emotions, it's focusing
on the other elements to it, andI think that that helped me
grow a lot as a writer.
So I think there's definitelysomething to be said about
dipping your toes and beingwilling to kind of expand into
other genres.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
You know, but I also think that, like, you have to
understand, as a writer, yourvoice as well.
So, so, not just likeunderstanding the genre, but
know your voice.
So if you're giving us allthese super poetic, high
register, high fantasy words andverbiage and then you're trying

(55:04):
to go down to like a cozyromance or even YA, it's not
going to fit.
You have to change your voiceand you have to understand your
voice enough to be malleable foryour genre.
So, again, reading, yeah, backto the genre, like reading your
genre, but also know yourselfand know your ability.
So I guess I would say.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
If I just want to kind of sum this up and kind of
wrap up a little bit of like,what we've talked about with
this is that if you're going togenre hop I mean, obviously
you're an artist go, do whateveryou want to do, write
whatever's interesting, likeyou're doing right now with your
memoirs, you know, stick towhat keeps you in your flow.
But if you're going to genrehop, be respectful of the genre,
do your research, do thesethings that make an element, and

(55:44):
don't just think I'm great atthis, I will be great at that,
would you say.
That's kind of a fair takeaway,yeah, I agree, and then just
whatever final thoughts andshots you might have real quick.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Dina, I don't really have anything else to add.
Just don't be a dick and try togo for a cash grab just because
you can and read in that genre.
A lot of writers are like Idon't read and they think like
they're cool or trendy.
You're not cool and trendy.
You have to know what's popularin order to market yourself.
You have to know what thingssound like within that genre,

(56:19):
because genres have sounds thatyou need to match.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
And I love that, so I think that that's a really good
point is respect the genre.
Make sure you're doing theresearch and don't be a fucking
cash grab.
People understand what'sinauthentic.
Like we.
We get that part, so I guessmaybe that's just we can tattoo
that on this.
So now we're going to take offour our serious writer's hat and
it's time to deliver, dina.

(56:42):
It's time to stop being a teaseand give the people what they
want, because you see, we're allabout storytelling here, and
every week we aim to share anentertaining tale.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
So without further ado.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
It's Storytime with Dinosaurus.
Um, I attended a Christianschool for several years.
Yeah, that was my high school.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Gasp.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Um, yeah, I know Crazy, and I was coming from a
very strict cult background.
The first cult cult background,the first cult, and within the
cult, within the IFB it's verycommon actually expected that

(57:39):
your parents will pick yourhusband for you as a girl, and
that was just how I was raised.
That's what I knew.
That was what was going tohappen, even though we left the
first cult into the second one.
It wasn't, as they weren't ascult.
Um, because they had aconglomerate, because of the

(58:01):
school.
They had a conglomeration ofmany different backgrounds, so
like the core was still verycult, but they had a lot of
other people, insiders,outsiders, like a mixture of
Christians, and so it was notcommonplace to have arranged
marriages there.
And in fact, in the school, inthe high school there, like

(58:23):
nobody came from the samebackground as me, but there was
this guy he was.
He was the cutest boy in class,was he so hot.
He was so hot.
Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Hold on, hold on, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Was he a cutie patootie?

Speaker 2 (58:41):
He was a cutie patootie with a rocking butt.
No, hottie patotty with arocking butt.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Oh, sorry His butt on a scale of one to ten Dina.
What was his butt doing?

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Not into butts, I don't.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
I don't know what his butt looks like that's fair, so
OK, so maybe could quit,couldn't quit, you don't know.
Ok.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Yeah, he was a lifeguard.
I know that much.
So I think that my parents knewthat.
I thought that he was cute andhe was a good Christian boy, not
a cult fuck boy, but like hewas, he was a good.
He was a good guy, he was acool guy he's just a good, good

(59:17):
guy.
That's this guy and my parentssat me down and were like what
do you think about?
Give me?
Give me a name.
I need a name.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
Richard.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Cornelius, my brother .
We're not gonna use RichardCornelius.
What do you think aboutcornelius?

Speaker 3 (59:37):
I'm sure we've used that three or four times already
.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
There's no way what about use this?
Let's use, use this.
We haven't used, use this yes,what do you think about use this
um and I was like oh yeah, likeyou know, you're okay, you're
right.
You're right because girlscan't have emotions or feelings
about boys all right yeah, quickcamp.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Um well, you don't like butts, so what do you like,
dina, my dad dicks lifeguard.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
I'm just here for the package and I, like they were
like yeah, we'll, we'll keep oureye on him for you.
And in cult talk that meanslike that's the one, like you're
gonna marry this one and we'regonna find a way to make it
happen.
Even if this family didn'tagree with arranged marriages or
anything like that, we're gonnafind to find a way to make it

(01:00:31):
happen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
You're going to get arranged, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
So I'm like, okay, whatever, fine, like I didn't
talk to him, I didn't fawn overhim, he was just cute and nice,
like that was it.
I didn't actually have like atrue crush on him or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Swimmers bod.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
But I had this quote friend that she like had been
asking about our faith and ourbelief in everything and I let
it slip that my parents aregoing to pick my husband out for
me.
And she was like what?
Like that's so weird.
Oh my God, who do they havepicked?
Do they have somebody picked?

(01:01:08):
And I was like, oh, eust,eustace, super casually, and
keep in mind, I'm super cash,I'm 10 fucking years old, she's
14 or 15, I don't remember.
So it's pretty fucking weird.
It's it's pretty weird.
She was also not a friend, um,no and yeah she, we got into so

(01:01:29):
many fucking fistfights.
She beat the fuck out of me,jesus.
And she got mad one day when mymom failed her on her homework
and she told the entire schoolthat my parents were going to
try to marry me off to Eustace.
And yeah, and he was like 14 or15.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
I'm sure Eustace took that well.
I bet he took that super well Iheard that through gossip.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Yeah, he was so scared of me and because I mean,
you're 14 or 15 years old andthis 10 year old is like we're
gonna get married, yeah, andhere's oh wait, it gets better,
don't worry, that rumor is goingon and I'm like trying to like

(01:02:24):
deny it, like no, like that'snot how you guys are
misunderstanding and obviouslythey're not.
And like a few months or solater after that happened, I got
his phone number because I didstart to develop a crush on him
and this was back in the days ofsignatures on cell phones and I

(01:02:46):
was going to try to get hisattention.
So I changed my signature.
When I was texting him onenight just about homework, like
nothing at all remotely personal, I changed my signature to DJ
got us fallen the song lyricfrom DJ got us fallen in love
again.
To no control of my body, heblocked me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Yeah, he's still been blocked to this day, is that?
Right listen, 10 year old dinaknew what she wanted in life
okay I uh, oh, my god, that'sincredible.
You know, I'm so proud of you.
You know what.
You went for it.
This is why the cult didn'twork for you, because you
couldn't just do the meek thing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
That was the second time that your parents tried to
arrange a marriage for you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Yeah, the first one involved goats.
I remember that because thatwas my first question.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Yeah, there was like An exchange of Livestock.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
But we didn't get the whole story on that one yet.
That'll be on a poll.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Oh go good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Not the only thing on the poll, just like Daniel
likes it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
No control on my body Hashtag.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
No control on my body .
Dina, let's give the audience alittle.
Choose your adventure actionfor a future segment of
Storytime with Dinosaurus.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Did I already write it down.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
Yeah we're already on the rundown.
It's on the rundown.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
I cut it again All right, it's a living document,
the one that involves noscrolling.
Next time we can choose fromthe Razor Mishap, fistfight at
Work or Lord of the flies allright, so sean by our normal
metric, which one's the mostinteresting?

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
okay, first of all, fist fight at work has to be the
winner, because everyone lovesa girl fight.
Yeah, I mean you like it stopsthe world it does.
If there's a girl fighthappening and it's brutal.
I feel like there's no way thatthe people don't select that.
But, knowing what we know, I Ifeel like Lord of the flies is

(01:05:03):
talking to me, because I feellike Dina got like sequestered
on a desert Island for somereason, and we found the conch
and was leading like a brigadeedon a desert island for some
reason and suddenly found theconch and was leading like a
brigade like a, like a tribe ofother children.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
That reminds you of a story.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Yeah, it's called lord of the flies.
It's required reading in publicschools unless you're in
florida.
It's probably considered likesinful or something yeah,
probably.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
Yeah, I'm with you.
I think lord of the flies isthe answer.
Uh, razor mishap sounds toomuch like giant injury, which
means it wasn't.
And the fist fight?
Uh, I mean, obviously I'm infor a girl fight at work and I
want this, which means that lordof the flies definitely answer.
So, people do the right thing.
Pick lord of the flies, do theneedful, do the needful.

(01:05:51):
And, guys, I'm I'm so excitedfor this next segment.
This is, this is what thepeople want.
This is what's bringing it back.

Yeah, yeah, give yourself acouple Nick Cage.
What's the?

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):

You ever think About what itwould be like To fuck a human, I
ask.
My heart is now Thumpingferociously In my chest but I
try to remain calm.
And even killed, yeah, I mean,who hasn't?
Orion offers the thing is, I'ma pretty big dinosaur and human

(01:07:56):
women are just too delicate.
That's T-O, with just T-O, notT-O.
I would probably crush one if Itried.
I let his words linger in theair for a moment, not sure if I
could say what I so desperatelywant to, but it's now or never,
I think to myself taking a deepbreath.

(01:08:19):
What about a human man, Iquestion.
I can see the raptor'sexpression suddenly change as
understanding washes over him.
Yeah, I think I might be intothat.
Actually, orion tells me.
I mean, it's not gay if it's adude raptor and a dude human.

(01:08:39):
Right, I ask, totally not gay,says the dinosaur.
The raptor would have to be incontrol, though dominating even.
Yeah, I sigh my cock rock hardin my pants that's just part one
.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
We got a part two though.
Yeah, there's a part two, it'sa little shorter are the
dinosaurs wearing?

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
that's long enough that's.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
That's a very long, that's a very very long.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
That's what she said.
We gotta give the people whatthey want.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Sean, we need a little bit more.
You're not a representation ofthe people.
You don't.
The people need what the people, what they want.
Sean.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
We need a little bit more.
You're not a representation ofthe people.
You don't get to just decidewhat the people want.
The people need part two.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
This was just a tweet .
The people have openly told youthey don't like your ideas.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Name one idea that people don't like, Dina.
That's too hard, there's toomany stay tuned next week for
part two of sean reading thishugo award finalist I don't
recall agreeing to that either.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
I feel comfortable we have to schedule an episode for
there to be a part two, sowe'll just never schedule an
episode again this is the end of.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Don't make it weird.
So, sean, would you agree thatit isn't gay as long as it's
interspecies?

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
first of all, I couldn't hear myself at all.
Did I sound like nicholas?

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
oh god, you were spot on.
Yeah, beautiful, yeah, yeahwhat where?

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):

documentary?

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):

there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Okay, sorry, bookmark that continue, sean hold on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
I can't remember what it's called the history, the
history of swear words.
By the way, it's it's good.
So I hear, yeah, oh, it's good,go watch the history of swear
words, fuck yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Fuck man, I gotta watch.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
National Treasure real quick.
It's 2024 and gender is fluid,and so fuck it Let your free
flag fly.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
I just like that he had to specify it's not gay, I'm
not gay.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
Yeah.
I don't know if it's theinternal monologue, but it's
also not an internal monologue.
It's like this conflict thatthey're having with themselves.
Honestly I thought where theywere going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
I thought it was going to go with like is it gay
if you're the giver?
Like?
That's where I thought it wasgoing.
Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Oh, we went interstitial and said are
raptors wearing?

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
pants.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):

thingy?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Is this another cloaca question?

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
I can't deal with this Can we call Stevie.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
It's 1030.
We're not calling him.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
We're not doing that, Sorry everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Next time, guys, we'll bookmark this one to ask
Stevie for the next episode whenSean does part two.
No, part two's really short.
Sean, you could give the peoplewhat they want right now.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
It's not really short .
I'm looking at the length of itright now.
It's quite lengthy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
It's quite girthy, would you say.
Girthy, yeah Thick.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
It's like earthy, would you say, yeah, thick um
it's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
It's the opposite of daniel, in that it's not a tuna
can.
That's fair, that's fair, allright then.
Fine, fine, sean wins thisround, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
You know short, wider than it is long.
Yeah, that's a gross penis.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Hey, that is judgmental, Dina, and I don't
like it Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
Do not judge a man's tuna can.
Do not shame him for his tunacan Daniel?
Does bring tuna to the orgy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
And here we are right back at the beginning Full
circle, baby, full circle, fullcircle, baby, full circle.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
Well, we have gone delightfully off the rails.
So that means that, guys, ifyou want to be part of this tuna
can discussion, maybe you wantto talk about what you would
bring to an orgy and, when theappropriate, you know what.
We should really ask anthonythese questions, because I feel
like you'd be the perfectlyembarrassed guy at the orgy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
I'm so fucking are you lactose intolerant?

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Yeah, you're almost as bad as a vegan, wow.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Sean, can you bring that mac and cheese to the orgy,
or is that too gooey?
Like, like.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
I feel like that's way too messy man.
You gotta stick withcharcuterie.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Cured meats, fancy cheeses.
The meat is greasy though.
The meat is greasy though, ifyou want a grease.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
No lube better than fucking salami grease.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
If somebody's using salami grease as lube, we have a
problem.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
Oh, I mean, I don't think they would deliberately
use it that way.
Yeah, it's just like an addedspice to it.
Yeah, I think that peopleshould be required to use a
toothpick for the charcuterieboard if it's so there should be
a lot of toothpicks involved toto really yeah, there's like a
bowl of used toothpicks on theside.
So you like, use one, and thenyou toss what if somebody?

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
likes to wear their clothes during like sex in the
orgy like does everybody have tobe naked.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Yeah, that's a good question I don't know, I don't
wear clothes, okay I had a mindmap.
I had a mind map oh my god, thefirst mind map of the new
season.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
It's right at the end okay, so I was thinking I was
thinking of break bills and themagicians when they have the
orgy scene or whatever, and likethey're all in, like these
roman, like esque outfits, and Iwas like, oh, they've got
clothes on.
So like, does everybodysimultaneously, simultaneously
disrobe?

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
there's nothing under the toga.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
I know that but like then, like, oh, I wonder if,
because I was thinking ofclothes and Daniel was asking
about the orgy.
So I was like oh, you know howhe always wears his socks, where
it just covers the toe and notthe heel.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
So I was like does he do that during sex?
And then I was like, oh, didyou know that if a woman wears
socks during sex, she faster?
And she what she now dinafaster so and then I was like
yeah, if you wear socks when youhave sex daniel's gonna like

(01:18:05):
make miriam wear seven.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Yeah, 100 yeah, no, that's she loves comfy socks.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Just oh, honey, you want to get comfy, he's like
rolling more and more socks.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
On her feet.
Listen, it's a fucking race, soI need as many socks as
possible to make sure that shecan catch up in time.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
So then, jesus Christ .
So then I was like, oh, socksare just like a stepping stone
To somebody that like doesn'tWant to be naked during sex.
And then I was like, if you'relike that, when, how does that
work in an orgy?
Are you just like, no, don't,don't take off my clothes.
Like how does it?
And yeah, that was the mind.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Like if you're a never nude.
Like if you're Tobias Funke atan orgy.
Yeah, god, I need to read this,yeah, I mean, I feel like the
orgy would be pretty like.
As long as the material wouldnot cause uncomfortable friction
with your partners, I feel likethere'd be an open-minded
people.
That would be my guess, I feellike Daniel probably has a grape

(01:19:12):
leaf over his ball bag.
Hey man, if it's good enoughfor Adam, it's good enough for
me.
I'm making all the biblicaljokes just for Dean.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
Oh, we got a snort.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Yes, my best joke of the day.
I will fucking take it.
I will take it.
