Yeah that I wanted to godowntown.
I wanted to go with friendshave some drinks, have some
cocktails and I wanted to do allthe things.
So I called up a couple peopleand we went downtown.
But I got to rewind because westarted off that night last
(02:46):
night pretty chaotic.
Um, we started with a bottleand a half of of wine, so by the
time we hit downtown I wasalready buzzy with a dd.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They had a dd, oh yeah, no, we were very safe

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Um.
So, uh, we get downtown.
I was already buzzing as it isand we hit up a club um one of
the people that I was going withwhat club to go to uh, arrow
and the patio.
It's a combination club, soit's attached to both.
So we, we, we decided to hit upthis club and we're there, and
then we decided to bar hop andpop over to two more clubs.
So then we decided to go backto this club again and I had
(03:25):
partaked in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Partooken.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Partooketh in an additional cocktail.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I met a boy.
Should I just go to our textmessages?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We have text messages no.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
We don't.
Why do you not have textmessages when you?
Because you met a boy?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I met a boy and he put his tongue down my throat
and stole my phone.
I lost my phone.
A guy stole my phone.
He took my number made out withme and stole my phone.
I love how you're also like.
He stole my number made outwith me and stole my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:07):

Not you left it somewhere andsomeone else randomly picked it
up.
This man who got your phonenumber then proceeds to steal
your phone.
So how's he going to text you I?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
have no idea.
Is he just going to?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
text himself and then like Probably.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's probably because I don't remember the number I
gave him.
I could have given him yournumber, for all I know well, I
haven't gotten any phone calls,shooketh or text messages and
neither has your brother oranyone else, so you didn't give
him someone of theirs I, I.
I can't tell you if I had anybecause I am actively without
technology and if without aphone for the first time, does
your?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
life.
So if someone texts yourtelephone number, if you're not
within range of your phone, itdoesn't go to your watch, like
they would have to text theindividual watch number for it
to go directly to your watch andI don't know the number for my
watch same.
You can find it on your accountif you log on yeah but I don't
yeah correct.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Um, no, I have no idea.
Um, but yeah, somebody he stolemy phone um put me in a pretty
nasty panic attack.
Obviously my entire life is onmy phone.
You don't say yeah, literallymy entire life.

went get out so when I got overhere today yeah, I showed you
(06:13):

Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's a fun thing, and it said that your phone was
where tuttsville, tootsville,tootsville, what's it?
Called.
I don't remember now becauseyou've said it wrong so many
times.
Because your mom made fun ofyou because of the way that you
were saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What's it called?
I think it's Tutsville, is thatit?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, now, right now.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
We could ask your mom , but you don't have a phone to
ask her right now.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Nope, nope, I don't.
Tutsville, titusville,titusville, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's it which is for those of you who are not
familiar with Florida is over anhour away from downtown Orlando
, essentially right next to CapeCanaveral.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yep, and that is where that dude was from.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It is long gone.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He made a comment about taking me to the Space
Center.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
He goes.
I was like like where are youfrom?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I remember this conversation, because he was
like oh so you remember thisconversation, but not what phone
number you gave him.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, so well, if you're listening, mr phone
stealer I hope you pop three ofyour tires just three?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
why not?
Why not the fourth one?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
because insurance covers all four if you pop all
four but not all three thank you.
Um, I also kind of karma.
That's all I have to say.
It will come back to you.
All you got was wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So what did you do to deserve karma?
To for the universe to say I'mgonna take ashley's phone from
her I don't validate anybody'sfeelings I mean, we've always
known this correct.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, um, no, I I don't know.
I, I don't have a clue.
It definitely has put me in apretty stressed mood, um, a
pretty, pretty anxious mood, umit was.
I find humor in it for a minute, and then I panic and freak out
, um, and then I remember thatit's just a phone.
(07:58):
Obviously these things can bereplaced.
I know that.
I'm a well aware of that but, Ithink it's just and I think the
saddest part like I was talkingto to a friend of ours that went
down, that was there last nightwith with me and I said the
saddest part about this entirething is that it now cancels out
all of the fun I had, like thewhole purpose and the whole
reason I went to it.
(08:19):
I don't remember that anymorebecause I solely remember the
fact that, like this man stolemy phone, like that's what I
will associate this night too.
Oh, do you remember that onetime we went downtown, yeah, and
when my phone got stolen, youmean, like it will not be
because I had fun.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh, that's okay, you won't hear that from me, because
I didn't go.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I know, cause I went home, cause you're the worst
best friend, you so much, you'revery so.
We actually had.
We were hoping this is why youdon't drink okay, be sober.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We were kind of hoping and slating that this
week we would be able to sitdown with mama ashley rose from
the rose dynasty yes.
However, it is june, so it ispride month, so there's a lot
going on.
Excuse me, are you dying veganburrito thingies?

Vegan burrito thingies.
Speaker 1 (09:07):

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Um, we still haven't been able to nail down the exact
time that we're going to do theinterview, so hopefully, maybe
we'll have it next week.
I will be leaving for a fewdays I don't want to talk about

it then.
If not, hopefully we'll have itthe week after that.
Um.
So, with that being said,ashley, this guy that stole your
phone, was he the asshole?
I think so okay, so I think, inorder for us I think so.
He is an asshole in order forus to process this well, yeah,
and good yeah um, I thought itwould be fun for us to jump on
(10:22):
reddit I love reddit and grabsome.
Am I the asshole articles?
Um to be honest, I only havelike two or three, but we can
always jump back onto reddit canI read the first one?
I'm gonna let you read the firstone I you can even read the
second one, but the third one ismine because I have a lot of
opinions on the third one.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, um, I'm ready.
Are you ready?
Yeah all right, here we go.
Am I the asshole for beingupset?
My sister is pregnant yes isthat what your guess is?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
yes, oh no, I.
I just wanted to answer I'm aman I had to have my opinion on
something before I knew all thetopics or all the subject go do
hard things.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out.
I 23, female, I'm gettingmarried in october this year and
I have struggled with planningdue to my sister not liking what
I wanted to get married, notliking that I wanted to get
married at the same venue.
She did.
My ring looks similar to hers.
I wanted my ring to looksimilar to my mom's is a
solitary, solitary stone in aband ring that I wanted to get
(11:17):
married at the same month shedid in 2022.
Now back to the question.
She and her husband havedecided to start trying for a
baby.
She told me she planned onwaiting until february so that
she would be due after thewedding, but they just tried in
december for fun and it took ohone night.
Here you go she's now due threeweeks before my wedding.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Before you finish, they decided to try so, as
married people hold on asmarried people hold on as
married people.
When you have sex, do you likebeforehand, go, okay, we're
trying to get pregnant on thisone.
Or do you just do it Like Idon't understand?
Like what did these people do?
They wear a condom every timethey have sex.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I mean that pregnant.
I don't know how to have thisconversation with you, because I
know how to answer thisquestion, but I don't know if
the world is ready for my answeron this question.
All right, you know, last weekyou went on a tangent.
Here you go, you ready.
So when this was a determiningfactor that I was going to have
a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Quick answer and back to the story.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, short answer.
You just go.
Hey, we're not going to do thisanymore.
I'm coming off birth control,I'm coming off the things.
We're not going to use any sortof preventative measures.
This is what we're going to do.
You sit down and you plan it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, it's a whole thing.
Where was I?
She's now due three weeksbefore my wedding.
This is the first grandchild inthe family and she's the maid
of honor, so she's alsoprotested her husband be a
groomsman, before giving a lameexcuse which now has me
wondering if she's just tryingto set up for having a baby.
I don't ask for attention often, but just wanted this one time
(12:51):
to be all about me not having toshare with my sister for once.
Also, she told me now that sheisn't planning on telling our
parents for a few weeks, so Ican't even talk to my mom about
how I'm feeling.
That's just rude.
As somebody siblings, that isnastily to do.
I've done it, but that isnastily I feel like.
Once again, I'm backed into aposition of pushing my feelings
(13:12):
aside, or to decide again orhaving to look like the bad guy.
So am I the asshole?
To clarify, I did change myvenue and it has cost three
times more and I don't like itnearly as much.
My ring is very simple andtrendy.
I've compromised on almosteverything because I wanted the
icing out and meaning texts tostop so initial thought uh-huh
(13:34):
just reading is she the asshole?
no, I think big sis, little sisis the ass okay.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So now let's dive into this a little.
Let's let's double advocate it.
So I don't think we have allthe facts here we don't
necessarily know what type ofrelationship she has with her
sister and what her sister isdoing.
We're never really going totruly know.
But I do kind of feel like ifshe, if she made an argument for
(14:05):
her husband to be a groomsmanin this wedding, was this girl's
fiance a groomsman in theirwedding?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
no, I don't think so well, she doesn't clarify that,
no, but she does say in here,though, that she begged and
pleaded for her husband to be agroomsman, so I just think it's
fucked, dude.
She also processed her husbandbeing a groomsman, so I just
think it's fucked dude.
She also presided her husbandbeing a groomsman.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
For giving a lame excuse yeah, I mean looking at
it, I think she, I think this isthe asshole yeah, sorry I think
she's completely justified,because now it's going to be her
wedding, but she's going tohave potential pregnant sister
potential, not pregnant sister.
Okay, we had a pre-k pausethere.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
We had a massive.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm gonna put the music in the music because, um,
this episode is very chaotic.
This week it's been a reallyit's been a real shit day today,
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
So it's been a shit day for who?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
for everybody, everyone involved.
Um, but yeah, so we were sayingthat woman her sister is.
Yeah do you want to read thenext one too?
I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I like these, um, emma the asshole.
So my girlfriend goes out a lotand I have no problem with it.
This sounds I want to have fun.
She goes with me and herfriends some to end just her
friends sometimes.
I think it's clearly obviousshe has more fun without me,
though.
She posts way more stories,actually dances and does more
fun stuff when I'm not there.
When I'm with her, we just sitaround and hang out.
(15:43):
She never posts it in her story, but when I say to her she has
more fun without me, she getsupset.
But I think it's too obviousthat she has way more fun when
I'm not there.
Am I the ass hoping for her totell?
For Am I the ass hole you puthope?
Am I the asshole for tellingher that I think she's more fun
without me there?
(16:03):
to be honest, I copied andpasted directly from reddit so
this is their poor grammar andspelling way to go my guy.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What do you think?
Not you changing it on theoutline after you've read it um,
I think this one's a catch 2020.
Um, I don't.
I I don't necessarily thinkeither of them's the asshole in
this scenario no.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I just think you guys need to figure out how to have
fun together and have fun apart?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't think Well, and he doesn't seem very
bothered by the fact that shehas more fun when she goes out
with her friends versus him.
Yeah, but I mean I don't know,that's a weird one.
But I mean, I don't know,that's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I think that, as somebody who has been in a
relationship, had fun with mypartner, Ben, and then had fun
now single with my friends thevibe is two different things.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Well, here's my thing , though.
He says she doesn't do allthese things and we go out and
we don't, but is he a DebbieDowner when they go out?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Also, is he the reason that they just sit around
?
I'm a play devil's advocatehere.
Maybe she just genuinely enjoyshis company, so she doesn't
feel the need to post it onsocial media?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
oh yeah, because they do say like I know when you
post on social media, you'retrying to like, make yourself
look cool.
We say, as we post, we also.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I mean there's also a lot of couples I know of that.
When they go out, they don'tmess with their phones so that
they can engage in conversationsand be present in the moment.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, so I could actually see here and I
understand why she would begetting upset by this, because
she's having a genuineconnection and a good time and
he's over here saying you don'thave fun with me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
So I guess that one kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
No guys, I don't think either of you are assholes
.
Kind of makes sense.
No, guys, I don't think eitherof you are assholes.
I just think you guys need tofigure out how to have fun
together and be okay that shehas fun without you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, that's it this next one though is am I the
asshole gay edition?
Because it's it's my month andit's a gay one stop talking.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Hey, can I wait before you start this?
Can I?
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't know.
Can you text it to me?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
shut up over there, don't laugh, it's not funny I
think it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What's your question?
What's your question?
What is your question?
Phone edges um, for those ofyou that can't see, because it's
a podcast, not a youtube video,ashley just touched a cell
phone, do you?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
find it uber conveniently hilarious that
pride month is also in the samemonth of father's day no it's
daddy gay awareness month.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I actually hate that.
Don't ever say that again.
So, anywho, am I the assholefor hanging out with a gay guy
at his house.
What for context?
I, 18 mil, hung out with myfriend lucas, 30 mil yesterday
whoa, whoa, big age gap, my guy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, shut up and listen, listen.
You interrupted a couple ofmine.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'm doing the same, thank you yes, but I had a valid
thing to say yours is oh,that's a big one, okay, well
listen and you'll understand.
Let me get two more sentencesin I'm listening.
We don't really know each othersuper well, but we work together
and he's super chill.
We have we've had a really orwe've had really cool
conversations and we have a lotin common, except our
(19:24):
sexualities.
Yesterday I was supposed to gosee my girlfriend, but earlier
in the day I went into worklater than I was supposed to
because of a last minutedoctor's appointment.
This means that I got out ofwork later than I was planning
and I ended up not having thetime to see my girlfriend
because it was already late andwe wouldn't have a lot of time
to hang out.
When I realized I couldn't seemy girlfriend, I also realized
(19:46):
that I was just going to go homeand do nothing.
So I figured I might as wellhang out with a friend, Lucas,
and I text sometimes, and oneday he had shown me pictures of
his apartment and I showed himmine After and I showed him mine
after after I showed him mineregardless.
That's just a funny sentence tome.
(20:06):
Um, I told him that it lookedsuper chill there and that we
could hang out sometime if Iwere ever, or if he were ever,
free.
Remembering that I'd had thisconvo, I decided to ask lucas if
we could hang out at his placeand he said sure.
So before I got off work, Itold my girlfriend where I was
going and she asked who Lucaswas, even though I've told him
(20:27):
of the interesting things thathe and I have spoken about.
She then realized who he wasand said isn't he that gay guy?
And I said yeah, but it didn'tmatter, because I knew he had
enough respect for me not topush for me, to not just push it
on me, since I one, not gay,and two in a relationship.
(20:50):
She said it made her superuncomfortable and that why is it
?
Why am I struggling to read?
It's like I need my glass.
Hold on, Let me zoom in.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And that Hold on on I zoomed in.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I just had to re-find my place.
She said it made heruncomfortable and that it was
the same as if he were a girl.
I said that it isn't the sameand that I felt that she didn't
trust me enough to makedecisions about people that I
don't know.
Okay, um, I have tried askingmyself how I would feel if she
hung out at the house of alesbian girl a lesbian girl that
(21:28):
she had similar interest with,and I just can't find anything
wrong with it, especially if sheknows how to be safe and
protect herself from unwantedadvances, should they arise.
Oh boy, I can understand whyand how she feels uncomfortable,
but I don't really have anyfriends, and lucas is such a
chill and cool person to hangout and have conversations with
(21:49):
that I didn't want to stophanging out with him.
I also feel that it's not fairfor my girlfriend to feel that
way about him just because he'sgay.
Am I the asshole?
I recently got into a heatedargument with someone bisexual,
cis, female our favorite wordwho?
stated that I, a straight cismale, should not attend pride.
Wait, is this a different one?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think them, yeah oh yeah, that's a different one um
.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So, and is he the asshole?
No, I think his girlfriend's anasshole I mean I fully agree to
that as well.
I mean you're gonna be upsetwith your boyfriend for hanging
out with a another person justbecause of their sexual
orientation.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
He is a person and and you have a boyfriend who is
to me he seems very committed inthe fact that he is in a
relationship.
He's made it very apparent thathe let lucas know the the gay,
chill, cool man.
So no, I I think that actuallyyou can't change that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
These are people's words.
Editing you can't edit whatthey say.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You have to read it exactly how it is, which is
exactly why you struggled withit, correct?
No, I I think that this is,this is um.
No, I think she's the asshole.
I'm sorry, but you suck.
Get over it.
Get over it.
Get over it, be done.
I don't wanna hear it no more.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, I mean I, yeah.
I'm sorry there's not much tosay here other than your
girlfriend's an asshole and youmight wanna find other people
Break up with her.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I'll say it for you Break up with her.
She sucks.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
This is a good one.
I like this next one.
I want to do it, do it.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Even though you got to read too.
It's fine hey.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Dustin, are you the asshole?
No, I didn't steal your phone,oh my.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
God For a circle.
Back to my phone.
I just don't know what to dowith my hand.
Did you hear that, that I justdon't know what to do with my
hand.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Did you hear that?
That notification, that ding.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Is that what that?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
is oh no, that's just a reminder that people should
text the show.
Why don't you guys go ahead?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
click that link in the description box and text
Ashley and let her know howsorry you feel for her.
I won't be able to read them.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You'll have your phone by the time this episode
airs.
I don't know what to do with myhands?
They're holding a microphoneright now.
You don't need to do anythingelse with them.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I literally got you know.
You know what I've realizedsince not having my phone, I
really don't know how like to do, what to do with my hands, like
, and I also realize that, likeyou're here, oh my god, I'm
holding one.
You also don't realize how muchyou rely on these just to have
basic conversation at times too,because, like, we got into a
(24:26):
conversation because pulse'sanniversary of of the shooting
was last week.
Um, very sad, my condolences toall the families.
Um, and I was like, oh wait,what was that?
Why?
Why did that happen again?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
yeah, because you don't have a supercomputer at
your fingertips no, and I Idon't like it and you,
unfortunately, are not alexa,and you're not all knowledgeable
.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No, and I'm also one of those people that, as you
said previously, I really suckat technology, like I'm really
really bad at it.
I am, I am not good at it.
So when it comes to like, okay,this is what we're gonna do,
this is what I'm gonna say, thisis what I'm gonna figure out, I
, this is what I'm going to say,this is what I'm going to
figure out, I've got this.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
I don't got it.
Dude, I have no idea how to,how to, how to do this.
You remember when, um, uh, at&thad that power outage?
(25:07):
That happened.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And you flipped your with them today.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Probably they're probably coming for me.
Oh well, are you the assholeashley?
Yeah, no, 18, the guy thatstole my phone is asshole.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Okay, read the next one.
I just don't want to do um.
Am I the asshole?
I recently got into a heatedargument with someone bisexual,
cis female.
Oh god, I hate that.
Um.
So I.
So I stated straight cis maleshould not attend pride because
I would be invading a gay space.
Oh, I cannot wait.
I have heard and agreed withthe argument around gay bars, as
(25:50):
that is a social gathering andstraight people can make it
unsafe and make it an unsafe gayspace with their presence.
But I simply wanted to attendthe pride parade to show my
support and see the floats.
If I am being a bad ally bygoing to the parade, can someone
tell me?
I feel like an asshole.
But I also argued with her andsaid um, it's a border and she
said it's borderline homophobicto not support her opinion and I
(26:13):
wasn't allowed to have one onthe topic.
I'm coming from a place ofignorance and I'm sorry if I'm
offending anybody with myquestions.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Okay, let me jump in here, sir ma'am.
Sir you are, sir, you are notoffending anyone.
I don't know who this bisexual,cisgendered female person is,
but they're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, you're also not .
You're allowed to have anopinion that's different than
hers and that is not borderlinehomophobic, that yours don't
match it.
I hate to be the bearer of badnews, but you a very gay man, me
a very straight woman.
If your opinion sucks, I'mgonna let you know your opinion
sucks vice versa.
It does not matter my sexualorientation.
(26:52):
I'm allowed to have an opinionand you're allowed to have an
opinion, and I'm sorry we'vealready said fuck, fuck you for
telling him that that's a shittyass thing to do as a friend.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, that person is a complete asshole yeah, fuck them
.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
No, as somebody who, who I obviously have made it
this is.
We've joked that this is.
This is not pride awareness amonth.
This is actually ally awareness, you know?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
support month that's what's gonna get you canceled.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Get over it.
I am going to pride.
I, I have made that decision.
I'm not going to pride becauseit's an unsafe thing.
Oh, I'm going to pride becauseyou are my best friend and I
support your decision.
But it's not just for you.
I also have other people in mylife that also dabble in either
side.
So why the fuck would that makepeople on?
(27:37):
You know what?
It makes people unsafe I wantto say with bisexual asshole
comments.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I want to look at this from a different angle,
because I get the angle thatyou're looking at.
I'm sorry, but I think.
To look at a straight personand say you can't come to Pride,
we're sitting here, honey.
That's sensational.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's the new show we have to go see that.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
The fact that they're they're gonna look at someone
and say I don't want you atpride because you're a straight
person, so you don't want anyallies.
You don't want.
This is not that.
We're supposed to be anall-inclusive community of
everyone, and everything not.
That's not at all like we wantour allies to be present.
We want you people to bepresent.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So you want the ashes of the world there.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, you do yeah, no, that's just.
I don't even know how toformulate a response to this,
because I'm just so angry thatI'm rambling that I cannot
believe that someone would arguewith a straight person and say
that we straight people make youfeel unsafe.
I'm sorry, but if straightpeople make you feel unsafe,
don't be out in public, becausethat is not a valid excuse to me
(28:42):
, and I know this.
No, I don't, I'm not gonna saythat say it no, I'm not gonna
say that.
Um, looking yeah, no, no.
I just.
I fully do not support thatstatement and I do not agree
with it.
You cannot look at a straightperson and say I don't feel safe
around you because you'restraight.
That is fucking ridiculousthat's just rude.
No, I'm not a fan as you pullyour microphone away in the
(29:06):
middle of while you're speaking,I know, but because there's
something on my lip as youcontinue to pull it away there's
a bruise hair on my mouth thatI was consuming every time I
talk.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
no, I'm not a fan.
I don't like that.
I don't like that people makethese commentaries like that.
I don't like the fact that likeyes, you say these things, I'm
sorry.
No, you're allowed to have anopinion.
It's not a borderlinehomophobic.
Not to support it.
Suck it up and pride is aboutit.
Yes, 110%, it is about theLGBTQ plus community 110%.
(29:36):
But it is also for people tosupport other people.
You did not get this communityoff of one person, not looking
at another person and going hi,I support you.
You got that community and youget that support from people
that support other people.
That is what that community isabout.
No, you're not the asshole yourfriend is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Preach Well, preach well.
That's all we have this week,kids.
When I say that this episode isvery chaotic, I mean we really
didn't have anything planned forthis episode.
It was a crazy and chaotic day.
(30:18):
Um, we had ideas and plans andthings put in place but, like
the creative block just hitreally hard this week and it was
hard to to try to put anythingtogether.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I think it's a hard week, I think mentally.
I always get really off aroundthis time are you on your period
?
No it's just dead dad week dude.
I never used to, and you know.
You know it's.
It's funny.
My father hated father's day.
He despised it.
He thought it was a joke.
You know what he did forfather's day.
The last father's day I spentwith my father was four years
(30:51):
ago and you know what he didwhat did he do?
he sent me, my sister and my momand my brother well, he sent me
, my mom and my brother Well, hesent me, my mom and my sister
flowers.
He got us flowers.
He got my brother a new Legoand then he sent me 20, or he
sent me 50 bucks and told me togo have dinner and he went.
Sometimes we don't just need aday to do nice things for our
(31:14):
family, we don't just need a dayto do that, and I think that's
probably why my views on likeMother's Day and Father's Day
and Sweetest Day and Valentine'sDay are so screwed, because
that's what I grew up with wassomebody that was like no, this
is also the same person that,like it was just one of those
(31:35):
moments where, like no, youdon't.
I don't think you need a singleday to shout out that your dad
is kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I just think that's kind of screwed.
So I think that's kind of whythe creative block we had this
week was just kind of rough,because of the sheer fact that,
like I always like to say, I getthree days out of the year that
I get to be mellow dramatic.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Remove the word mellow, I get to be mellow,
dramatic, and remove the wordmellow.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I get to be dramatic and I think it's it.
It goes to to kind of combatwith pride.
I feel like you get to be extraor dramatic for a whole month
because you get to, because we,we, we get to do that.
We, we get to be dramatic.
We get to feel our feelings,how we feel them.
I have a wonderful therapisttoo.
That's his quote.
He goes you know what you feel,your feelings, how you feel
(32:30):
them, because you can.
So this week we're brain deadand dramatic and chaotic.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And tired, don't forget, tired Really tired and
we're feeling it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
We're feeling our feelings, how we feel them.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Race, help, race tell .
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Jesus Christ.
My catchphrase to all this weekis feel them.
Be prideful.
If you're part of the LGBTQplus community, own it.
Feel your feelings how you feelthem.
Be prideful If you're part ofthe LGBTQ plus community, own it
.
Feel your feelings how you feelthem.
Do not worry.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Oh, I thought it was.
I don't know what to do with myhands, but okay.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I mean that too.
Don't worry about what peopleare going to think.
If you are listening to ourepisode and you are in the same
position as that colonel wasdon't, and you are sitting
thinking about saying it, say it.
You are a person that hasfeelings and you are allowed to
be validated in those feelings.
You're allowed to feel yourfeelings how you feel them.
(33:30):
So feel them and be proud ofyour feelings.
This week sucks for me, so Ilean on people around me that
feel their feelings differentlythan I do to bring up my
feelings.
So, for those that areteeter-tottering on this line,
listen to our chaotic episode,listen to our advice and feel
(33:50):
your feelings and be okay withit.
So last week we didn't get todo this before the intro.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Before the intro I got one more thing that I want
to just briefly touch.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
All right go ahead.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Guess what it's about .
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Me.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
No rude.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Guess what I always talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't know.
Dolly Parker, oh, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So did you see?
Did you see the article fromthe Federalist?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
When did it come out?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
A couple of it's like two weeks ago at this point.
So two, a couple, it's like twoweeks ago at this point.
So two weeks ago the federalist, which is a dying republican
news company, um, they wrote anarticle calling out dolly parton
for her fake and dangerousgospel oh yes, I did see this
and I think the plan backfired.
(34:40):
Obviously they were looking forsome kind of clickbait so they
could stay relevant, but I thinkthis backfired really, really,
really hard really um so theycalled her out, saying that her
gospel was dangerous because shedoes not condemn gay people.
Um, they're trying to say thather religion is fake and yada
yada, which I think is highlyinappropriate because I don't
(35:05):
think she's she's a christian soit's not dolly's religion dolly
has.
Dolly has said that it's not myjob to judge and I love everyone
because you're supposed to lovethy neighbor.
She literally is quoting whatchristianity states you're
supposed to be doing loving thyneighbor, not judging, not
(35:25):
casting the first stone.
Let you know.
Let he who have not sinned castthe first stone.
She'll say I am a sinner, Idon't do that.
She is more saint, like thanmost saints on this celestial
plane that we know of.
Like she, I think instead ofthem attacking her, they should
have used her to say hey, thisis what christians are supposed
(35:47):
to be, this is what christiansshould be acting like, saying
that it's not my job to judgeyou.
I love you in the same way thatgod does.
God makes us all.
I'm not.
I'm not the one here toquestion it.
They called her out on that.
That's stupid.
It has backfired across theglobe with people from all walks
(36:07):
of life.
I saw there's a hilarious postwhere it's like talking about
the different types of people inthe world and it's like the
metal heads and like the 1980sgoth rock ride at dawn and it's
like the metal heads right atdawn.
All of these people are ready towage war against the
federalists because they'resaying they're saying you don't
(36:30):
attack dolly parton and get awaywith it no, because the woman
is literally a saint exactly sothe art, the author of this
article, has since come back outand issued an apology good um,
and is saying that she shouldhave chosen someone else other
than dolly to make her point,because her point is not
(36:53):
condemning gay people, not thatdolly parton is a bad part.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
What the fuck no, so you just she realized that the
entire world is coming for her.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
This woman has been receiving death threats, her
personal information has beenleaked all over the internet and
she's making this apology nowto make face.
And I am sorry.
But you don't get to say, oh,I'm so sorry, I picked the wrong
person.
No, that's not how this works.
You picked Dolly Parton for areason you wanted to call Dolly
(37:22):
out, and then you realize thatthe entire world is against your
opinion.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
And that's what you missed on Glee Boop.
So now do you want to say thething?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Do you need another minute or are you good?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, you're not going to talk, you don't say the
ending, I won't Say the otherthing.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I ending, I will say the other thing, I will, I will,
okay.
So typically I finish off ourend of our podcast episodes with
my little catchphrase sharewith your friends, share with
your bar, with your family,don't you say it right now I
won't, but I have to lean in whywhy we're doing this I don't

Speaker 1 (02:01):

For all those that do not know,I am a member of the Dead Dad
Club.
Congratulations to me.
Thank you.
I in around Father's Day.
I tend to get a littleemotional sometimes and I
decided about two hours beforethree, four hours before this
(02:24):
event happened Like 4 pm.
Yeah that I wanted to godowntown.
I wanted to go with friendshave some drinks, have some
cocktails and I wanted to do allthe things.
So I called up a couple peopleand we went downtown.
But I got to rewind because westarted off that night last
(02:46):
night pretty chaotic.
Um, we started with a bottleand a half of of wine, so by the
time we hit downtown I wasalready buzzy with a dd.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They had a dd, oh yeah, no, we were very safe
thank you the whole time and theride home.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Um.
So, uh, we get downtown.
I was already buzzing as it isand we hit up a club um one of
the people that I was going withwhat club to go to uh, arrow
and the patio.
It's a combination club, soit's attached to both.
So we, we, we decided to hit upthis club and we're there, and
then we decided to bar hop andpop over to two more clubs.
So then we decided to go backto this club again and I had
(03:25):
partaked in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Partooken.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Partooketh in an additional cocktail.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I met a boy.
Should I just go to our textmessages?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We have text messages no.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
We don't.
Why do you not have textmessages when you?
Because you met a boy?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I met a boy and he put his tongue down my throat
and stole my phone.
I lost my phone.
A guy stole my phone.
He took my number made out withme and stole my phone.
I love how you're also like.
He stole my number made outwith me and stole my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I love how you're also like he stole my phone.
Not you left it somewhere andsomeone else randomly picked it
up.
This man who got your phonenumber then proceeds to steal
your phone.
So how's he going to text you I?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
have no idea.
Is he just going to?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
text himself and then like Probably.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's probably because I don't remember the number I
gave him.
I could have given him yournumber, for all I know well, I
haven't gotten any phone calls,shooketh or text messages and
neither has your brother oranyone else, so you didn't give
him someone of theirs I, I.
I can't tell you if I had anybecause I am actively without
technology and if without aphone for the first time, does
your?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
life.
So if someone texts yourtelephone number, if you're not
within range of your phone, itdoesn't go to your watch, like
they would have to text theindividual watch number for it
to go directly to your watch andI don't know the number for my
watch same.

Something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, how you doing, not great.
I don't know what to do with myhands.

You have no clue.
You thought this man stole yourphone number, mm-hmm.

I had a brick.
Literally my phone was calledthe brick.
It was a T-Mobile red brickphone.
It had dots on the front of it,not dots.
That's where the speaker was,was in the front of the phone

went get out so when I got overhere today yeah, I showed you
(06:13):

Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's a fun thing, and it said that your phone was
where tuttsville, tootsville,tootsville, what's it?
Called.
I don't remember now becauseyou've said it wrong so many
times.
Because your mom made fun ofyou because of the way that you
were saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What's it called?
I think it's Tutsville, is thatit?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, now, right now.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
We could ask your mom , but you don't have a phone to
ask her right now.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Nope, nope, I don't.
Tutsville, titusville,titusville, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's it which is for those of you who are not
familiar with Florida is over anhour away from downtown Orlando
, essentially right next to CapeCanaveral.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yep, and that is where that dude was from.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It is long gone.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He made a comment about taking me to the Space
Center.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
He goes.
I was like like where are youfrom?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I remember this conversation, because he was
like oh so you remember thisconversation, but not what phone
number you gave him.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, so well, if you're listening, mr phone
stealer I hope you pop three ofyour tires just three?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
why not?
Why not the fourth one?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
because insurance covers all four if you pop all
four but not all three thank you.
Um, I also kind of karma.
That's all I have to say.
It will come back to you.
All you got was wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So what did you do to deserve karma?
To for the universe to say I'mgonna take ashley's phone from
her I don't validate anybody'sfeelings I mean, we've always
known this correct.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, um, no, I I don't know.
I, I don't have a clue.
It definitely has put me in apretty stressed mood, um, a
pretty, pretty anxious mood, umit was.
I find humor in it for a minute, and then I panic and freak out
, um, and then I remember thatit's just a phone.
(07:58):
Obviously these things can bereplaced.
I know that.
I'm a well aware of that but, Ithink it's just and I think the
saddest part like I was talkingto to a friend of ours that went
down, that was there last nightwith with me and I said the
saddest part about this entirething is that it now cancels out
all of the fun I had, like thewhole purpose and the whole
reason I went to it.
(08:19):
I don't remember that anymorebecause I solely remember the
fact that, like this man stolemy phone, like that's what I
will associate this night too.
Oh, do you remember that onetime we went downtown, yeah, and
when my phone got stolen, youmean, like it will not be
because I had fun.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh, that's okay, you won't hear that from me, because
I didn't go.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I know, cause I went home, cause you're the worst
best friend, you so much, you'revery so.
We actually had.
We were hoping this is why youdon't drink okay, be sober.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We were kind of hoping and slating that this
week we would be able to sitdown with mama ashley rose from
the rose dynasty yes.
However, it is june, so it ispride month, so there's a lot
going on.
Excuse me, are you dying veganburrito thingies?

time that we're going to do theinterview, so hopefully, maybe
we'll have it next week.
I will be leaving for a fewdays I don't want to talk about

Speaker 1 (09:32):

If not, hopefully we'll have itthe week after that.
Um.
So, with that being said,ashley, this guy that stole your
phone, was he the asshole?
I think so okay, so I think, inorder for us I think so.
He is an asshole in order forus to process this well, yeah,
and good yeah um, I thought itwould be fun for us to jump on
(10:22):
reddit I love reddit and grabsome.
Am I the asshole articles?
Um to be honest, I only havelike two or three, but we can
always jump back onto reddit canI read the first one?
I'm gonna let you read the firstone I you can even read the
second one, but the third one ismine because I have a lot of
opinions on the third one.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, um, I'm ready.
Are you ready?
Yeah all right, here we go.
Am I the asshole for beingupset?
My sister is pregnant yes isthat what your guess is?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
yes, oh no, I.
I just wanted to answer I'm aman I had to have my opinion on
something before I knew all thetopics or all the subject go do
hard things.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out.
I 23, female, I'm gettingmarried in october this year and
I have struggled with planningdue to my sister not liking what
I wanted to get married, notliking that I wanted to get
married at the same venue.
She did.
My ring looks similar to hers.
I wanted my ring to looksimilar to my mom's is a
solitary, solitary stone in aband ring that I wanted to get
(11:17):
married at the same month shedid in 2022.
Now back to the question.
She and her husband havedecided to start trying for a
baby.
She told me she planned onwaiting until february so that
she would be due after thewedding, but they just tried in
december for fun and it took ohone night.
Here you go she's now due threeweeks before my wedding.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Before you finish, they decided to try so, as
married people hold on asmarried people hold on as
married people.
When you have sex, do you likebeforehand, go, okay, we're
trying to get pregnant on thisone.
Or do you just do it Like Idon't understand?
Like what did these people do?
They wear a condom every timethey have sex.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I mean that pregnant.
I don't know how to have thisconversation with you, because I
know how to answer thisquestion, but I don't know if
the world is ready for my answeron this question.
All right, you know, last weekyou went on a tangent.
Here you go, you ready.
So when this was a determiningfactor that I was going to have
a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Quick answer and back to the story.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, short answer.
You just go.
Hey, we're not going to do thisanymore.
I'm coming off birth control,I'm coming off the things.
We're not going to use any sortof preventative measures.
This is what we're going to do.
You sit down and you plan it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, it's a whole thing.
Where was I?
She's now due three weeksbefore my wedding.
This is the first grandchild inthe family and she's the maid
of honor, so she's alsoprotested her husband be a
groomsman, before giving a lameexcuse which now has me
wondering if she's just tryingto set up for having a baby.
I don't ask for attention often, but just wanted this one time
(12:51):
to be all about me not having toshare with my sister for once.
Also, she told me now that sheisn't planning on telling our
parents for a few weeks, so Ican't even talk to my mom about
how I'm feeling.
That's just rude.
As somebody siblings, that isnastily to do.
I've done it, but that isnastily I feel like.
Once again, I'm backed into aposition of pushing my feelings
(13:12):
aside, or to decide again orhaving to look like the bad guy.
So am I the asshole?
To clarify, I did change myvenue and it has cost three
times more and I don't like itnearly as much.
My ring is very simple andtrendy.
I've compromised on almosteverything because I wanted the
icing out and meaning texts tostop so initial thought uh-huh
(13:34):
just reading is she the asshole?
no, I think big sis, little sisis the ass okay.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So now let's dive into this a little.
Let's let's double advocate it.
So I don't think we have allthe facts here we don't
necessarily know what type ofrelationship she has with her
sister and what her sister isdoing.
We're never really going totruly know.
But I do kind of feel like ifshe, if she made an argument for
(14:05):
her husband to be a groomsmanin this wedding, was this girl's
fiance a groomsman in theirwedding?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
no, I don't think so well, she doesn't clarify that,
no, but she does say in here,though, that she begged and
pleaded for her husband to be agroomsman, so I just think it's
fucked, dude.
She also processed her husbandbeing a groomsman, so I just
think it's fucked dude.
She also presided her husbandbeing a groomsman.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
For giving a lame excuse yeah, I mean looking at
it, I think she, I think this isthe asshole yeah, sorry I think
she's completely justified,because now it's going to be her
wedding, but she's going tohave potential pregnant sister
potential, not pregnant sister.
Okay, we had a pre-k pausethere.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
We had a massive.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm gonna put the music in the music because, um,
this episode is very chaotic.
This week it's been a reallyit's been a real shit day today,
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
So it's been a shit day for who?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
for everybody, everyone involved.
Um, but yeah, so we were sayingthat woman her sister is.
Yeah do you want to read thenext one too?
I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I like these, um, emma the asshole.
So my girlfriend goes out a lotand I have no problem with it.
This sounds I want to have fun.
She goes with me and herfriends some to end just her
friends sometimes.
I think it's clearly obviousshe has more fun without me,
though.
She posts way more stories,actually dances and does more
fun stuff when I'm not there.
When I'm with her, we just sitaround and hang out.
(15:43):
She never posts it in her story, but when I say to her she has
more fun without me, she getsupset.
But I think it's too obviousthat she has way more fun when
I'm not there.
Am I the ass hoping for her totell?
For Am I the ass hole you puthope?
Am I the asshole for tellingher that I think she's more fun
without me there?
(16:03):
to be honest, I copied andpasted directly from reddit so
this is their poor grammar andspelling way to go my guy.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What do you think?
Not you changing it on theoutline after you've read it um,
I think this one's a catch 2020.
Um, I don't.
I I don't necessarily thinkeither of them's the asshole in
this scenario no.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I just think you guys need to figure out how to have
fun together and have fun apart?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't think Well, and he doesn't seem very
bothered by the fact that shehas more fun when she goes out
with her friends versus him.
Yeah, but I mean I don't know,that's a weird one.
But I mean, I don't know,that's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I think that, as somebody who has been in a
relationship, had fun with mypartner, Ben, and then had fun
now single with my friends thevibe is two different things.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Well, here's my thing , though.
He says she doesn't do allthese things and we go out and
we don't, but is he a DebbieDowner when they go out?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Also, is he the reason that they just sit around
?
I'm a play devil's advocatehere.
Maybe she just genuinely enjoyshis company, so she doesn't
feel the need to post it onsocial media?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
oh yeah, because they do say like I know when you
post on social media, you'retrying to like, make yourself
look cool.
We say, as we post, we also.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I mean there's also a lot of couples I know of that.
When they go out, they don'tmess with their phones so that
they can engage in conversationsand be present in the moment.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, so I could actually see here and I
understand why she would begetting upset by this, because
she's having a genuineconnection and a good time and
he's over here saying you don'thave fun with me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
So I guess that one kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
No guys, I don't think either of you are assholes
.
Kind of makes sense.
No, guys, I don't think eitherof you are assholes.
I just think you guys need tofigure out how to have fun
together and be okay that shehas fun without you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, that's it this next one though is am I the
asshole gay edition?
Because it's it's my month andit's a gay one stop talking.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Hey, can I wait before you start this?
Can I?
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't know.
Can you text it to me?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
shut up over there, don't laugh, it's not funny I
think it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What's your question?
What's your question?
What is your question?
Phone edges um, for those ofyou that can't see, because it's
a podcast, not a youtube video,ashley just touched a cell
phone, do you?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
find it uber conveniently hilarious that
pride month is also in the samemonth of father's day no it's
daddy gay awareness month.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I actually hate that.
Don't ever say that again.
So, anywho, am I the assholefor hanging out with a gay guy
at his house.
What for context?
I, 18 mil, hung out with myfriend lucas, 30 mil yesterday
whoa, whoa, big age gap, my guy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, shut up and listen, listen.
You interrupted a couple ofmine.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'm doing the same, thank you yes, but I had a valid
thing to say yours is oh,that's a big one, okay, well
listen and you'll understand.
Let me get two more sentencesin I'm listening.
We don't really know each othersuper well, but we work together
and he's super chill.
We have we've had a really orwe've had really cool
conversations and we have a lotin common, except our
(19:24):
sexualities.
Yesterday I was supposed to gosee my girlfriend, but earlier
in the day I went into worklater than I was supposed to
because of a last minutedoctor's appointment.
This means that I got out ofwork later than I was planning
and I ended up not having thetime to see my girlfriend
because it was already late andwe wouldn't have a lot of time
to hang out.
When I realized I couldn't seemy girlfriend, I also realized
(19:46):
that I was just going to go homeand do nothing.
So I figured I might as wellhang out with a friend, Lucas,
and I text sometimes, and oneday he had shown me pictures of
his apartment and I showed himmine After and I showed him mine
after after I showed him mineregardless.
That's just a funny sentence tome.
(20:06):
Um, I told him that it lookedsuper chill there and that we
could hang out sometime if Iwere ever, or if he were ever,
free.
Remembering that I'd had thisconvo, I decided to ask lucas if
we could hang out at his placeand he said sure.
So before I got off work, Itold my girlfriend where I was
going and she asked who Lucaswas, even though I've told him
(20:27):
of the interesting things thathe and I have spoken about.
She then realized who he wasand said isn't he that gay guy?
And I said yeah, but it didn'tmatter, because I knew he had
enough respect for me not topush for me, to not just push it
on me, since I one, not gay,and two in a relationship.
(20:50):
She said it made her superuncomfortable and that why is it
?
Why am I struggling to read?
It's like I need my glass.
Hold on, Let me zoom in.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And that Hold on on I zoomed in.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I just had to re-find my place.
She said it made heruncomfortable and that it was
the same as if he were a girl.
I said that it isn't the sameand that I felt that she didn't
trust me enough to makedecisions about people that I
don't know.
Okay, um, I have tried askingmyself how I would feel if she
hung out at the house of alesbian girl a lesbian girl that
(21:28):
she had similar interest with,and I just can't find anything
wrong with it, especially if sheknows how to be safe and
protect herself from unwantedadvances, should they arise.
Oh boy, I can understand whyand how she feels uncomfortable,
but I don't really have anyfriends, and lucas is such a
chill and cool person to hangout and have conversations with
(21:49):
that I didn't want to stophanging out with him.
I also feel that it's not fairfor my girlfriend to feel that
way about him just because he'sgay.
Am I the asshole?
I recently got into a heatedargument with someone bisexual,
cis, female our favorite wordwho?
stated that I, a straight cismale, should not attend pride.
Wait, is this a different one?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think them, yeah oh yeah, that's a different one um
.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So, and is he the asshole?
No, I think his girlfriend's anasshole I mean I fully agree to
that as well.
I mean you're gonna be upsetwith your boyfriend for hanging
out with a another person justbecause of their sexual
orientation.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
He is a person and and you have a boyfriend who is
to me he seems very committed inthe fact that he is in a
relationship.
He's made it very apparent thathe let lucas know the the gay,
chill, cool man.
So no, I I think that actuallyyou can't change that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
These are people's words.
Editing you can't edit whatthey say.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You have to read it exactly how it is, which is
exactly why you struggled withit, correct?
No, I I think that this is,this is um.
No, I think she's the asshole.
I'm sorry, but you suck.
Get over it.
Get over it.
Get over it, be done.
I don't wanna hear it no more.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, I mean I, yeah.
I'm sorry there's not much tosay here other than your
girlfriend's an asshole and youmight wanna find other people
Break up with her.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I'll say it for you Break up with her.
She sucks.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
This is a good one.
I like this next one.
I want to do it, do it.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Even though you got to read too.
It's fine hey.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Dustin, are you the asshole?
No, I didn't steal your phone,oh my.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
God For a circle.
Back to my phone.
I just don't know what to dowith my hand.
Did you hear that, that I justdon't know what to do with my
hand.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Did you hear that?
That notification, that ding.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Is that what that?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
is oh no, that's just a reminder that people should
text the show.
Why don't you guys go ahead?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
click that link in the description box and text
Ashley and let her know howsorry you feel for her.
I won't be able to read them.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You'll have your phone by the time this episode
airs.
I don't know what to do with myhands?
They're holding a microphoneright now.
You don't need to do anythingelse with them.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I literally got you know.
You know what I've realizedsince not having my phone, I
really don't know how like to do, what to do with my hands, like
, and I also realize that, likeyou're here, oh my god, I'm
holding one.
You also don't realize how muchyou rely on these just to have
basic conversation at times too,because, like, we got into a
(24:26):
conversation because pulse'sanniversary of of the shooting
was last week.
Um, very sad, my condolences toall the families.
Um, and I was like, oh wait,what was that?
Why?
Why did that happen again?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
yeah, because you don't have a supercomputer at
your fingertips no, and I Idon't like it and you,
unfortunately, are not alexa,and you're not all knowledgeable
.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No, and I'm also one of those people that, as you
said previously, I really suckat technology, like I'm really
really bad at it.
I am, I am not good at it.
So when it comes to like, okay,this is what we're gonna do,
this is what I'm gonna say, thisis what I'm gonna figure out, I
, this is what I'm going to say,this is what I'm going to
figure out, I've got this.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
I don't got it.
Dude, I have no idea how to,how to, how to do this.
You remember when, um, uh, at&thad that power outage?
(25:07):
That happened.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And you flipped your with them today.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Probably they're probably coming for me.
Oh well, are you the assholeashley?
Yeah, no, 18, the guy thatstole my phone is asshole.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Okay, read the next one.
I just don't want to do um.
Am I the asshole?
I recently got into a heatedargument with someone bisexual,
cis female.
Oh god, I hate that.
Um.
So I.
So I stated straight cis maleshould not attend pride because
I would be invading a gay space.
Oh, I cannot wait.
I have heard and agreed withthe argument around gay bars, as
(25:50):
that is a social gathering andstraight people can make it
unsafe and make it an unsafe gayspace with their presence.
But I simply wanted to attendthe pride parade to show my
support and see the floats.
If I am being a bad ally bygoing to the parade, can someone
tell me?
I feel like an asshole.
But I also argued with her andsaid um, it's a border and she
said it's borderline homophobicto not support her opinion and I
(26:13):
wasn't allowed to have one onthe topic.
I'm coming from a place ofignorance and I'm sorry if I'm
offending anybody with myquestions.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Okay, let me jump in here, sir ma'am.
Sir you are, sir, you are notoffending anyone.
I don't know who this bisexual,cisgendered female person is,
but they're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, you're also not .
You're allowed to have anopinion that's different than
hers and that is not borderlinehomophobic, that yours don't
match it.
I hate to be the bearer of badnews, but you a very gay man, me
a very straight woman.
If your opinion sucks, I'mgonna let you know your opinion
sucks vice versa.
It does not matter my sexualorientation.
(26:52):
I'm allowed to have an opinionand you're allowed to have an
opinion, and I'm sorry we'vealready said fuck, fuck you for
telling him that that's a shittyass thing to do as a friend.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, that person is a complete asshole yeah, fuck them
.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
No, as somebody who, who I obviously have made it
this is.
We've joked that this is.
This is not pride awareness amonth.
This is actually ally awareness, you know?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
support month that's what's gonna get you canceled.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Get over it.
I am going to pride.
I, I have made that decision.
I'm not going to pride becauseit's an unsafe thing.
Oh, I'm going to pride becauseyou are my best friend and I
support your decision.
But it's not just for you.
I also have other people in mylife that also dabble in either
side.
So why the fuck would that makepeople on?
(27:37):
You know what?
It makes people unsafe I wantto say with bisexual asshole
comments.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I want to look at this from a different angle,
because I get the angle thatyou're looking at.
I'm sorry, but I think.
To look at a straight personand say you can't come to Pride,
we're sitting here, honey.
That's sensational.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's the new show we have to go see that.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
The fact that they're they're gonna look at someone
and say I don't want you atpride because you're a straight
person, so you don't want anyallies.
You don't want.
This is not that.
We're supposed to be anall-inclusive community of
everyone, and everything not.
That's not at all like we wantour allies to be present.
We want you people to bepresent.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So you want the ashes of the world there.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, you do yeah, no, that's just.
I don't even know how toformulate a response to this,
because I'm just so angry thatI'm rambling that I cannot
believe that someone would arguewith a straight person and say
that we straight people make youfeel unsafe.
I'm sorry, but if straightpeople make you feel unsafe,
don't be out in public, becausethat is not a valid excuse to me
(28:42):
, and I know this.
No, I don't, I'm not gonna saythat say it no, I'm not gonna
say that.
Um, looking yeah, no, no.
I just.
I fully do not support thatstatement and I do not agree
with it.
You cannot look at a straightperson and say I don't feel safe
around you because you'restraight.
That is fucking ridiculousthat's just rude.
No, I'm not a fan as you pullyour microphone away in the
(29:06):
middle of while you're speaking,I know, but because there's
something on my lip as youcontinue to pull it away there's
a bruise hair on my mouth thatI was consuming every time I
talk.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
no, I'm not a fan.
I don't like that.
I don't like that people makethese commentaries like that.
I don't like the fact that likeyes, you say these things, I'm
sorry.
No, you're allowed to have anopinion.
It's not a borderlinehomophobic.
Not to support it.
Suck it up and pride is aboutit.
Yes, 110%, it is about theLGBTQ plus community 110%.
(29:36):
But it is also for people tosupport other people.
You did not get this communityoff of one person, not looking
at another person and going hi,I support you.
You got that community and youget that support from people
that support other people.
That is what that community isabout.
No, you're not the asshole yourfriend is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Preach Well, preach well.
That's all we have this week,kids.
When I say that this episode isvery chaotic, I mean we really
didn't have anything planned forthis episode.
It was a crazy and chaotic day.
(30:18):
Um, we had ideas and plans andthings put in place but, like
the creative block just hitreally hard this week and it was
hard to to try to put anythingtogether.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I think it's a hard week, I think mentally.
I always get really off aroundthis time are you on your period
?
No it's just dead dad week dude.
I never used to, and you know.
You know it's.
It's funny.
My father hated father's day.
He despised it.
He thought it was a joke.
You know what he did forfather's day.
The last father's day I spentwith my father was four years
(30:51):
ago and you know what he didwhat did he do?
he sent me, my sister and my momand my brother well, he sent me
, my mom and my brother Well, hesent me, my mom and my sister
flowers.
He got us flowers.
He got my brother a new Legoand then he sent me 20, or he
sent me 50 bucks and told me togo have dinner and he went.
Sometimes we don't just need aday to do nice things for our
(31:14):
family, we don't just need a dayto do that, and I think that's
probably why my views on likeMother's Day and Father's Day
and Sweetest Day and Valentine'sDay are so screwed, because
that's what I grew up with wassomebody that was like no, this
is also the same person that,like it was just one of those
(31:35):
moments where, like no, youdon't.
I don't think you need a singleday to shout out that your dad
is kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I just think that's kind of screwed.
So I think that's kind of whythe creative block we had this
week was just kind of rough,because of the sheer fact that,
like I always like to say, I getthree days out of the year that
I get to be mellow dramatic.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Remove the word mellow, I get to be mellow,
dramatic, and remove the wordmellow.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I get to be dramatic and I think it's it.
It goes to to kind of combatwith pride.
I feel like you get to be extraor dramatic for a whole month
because you get to, because we,we, we get to do that.
We, we get to be dramatic.
We get to feel our feelings,how we feel them.
I have a wonderful therapisttoo.
That's his quote.
He goes you know what you feel,your feelings, how you feel
(32:30):
them, because you can.
So this week we're brain deadand dramatic and chaotic.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And tired, don't forget, tired Really tired and
we're feeling it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
We're feeling our feelings, how we feel them.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Race, help, race tell .
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Jesus Christ.
My catchphrase to all this weekis feel them.
Be prideful.
If you're part of the LGBTQplus community, own it.
Feel your feelings how you feelthem.
Be prideful If you're part ofthe LGBTQ plus community, own it
.
Feel your feelings how you feelthem.
Do not worry.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Oh, I thought it was.
I don't know what to do with myhands, but okay.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I mean that too.
Don't worry about what peopleare going to think.
If you are listening to ourepisode and you are in the same
position as that colonel wasdon't, and you are sitting
thinking about saying it, say it.
You are a person that hasfeelings and you are allowed to
be validated in those feelings.
You're allowed to feel yourfeelings how you feel them.
(33:30):
So feel them and be proud ofyour feelings.
This week sucks for me, so Ilean on people around me that
feel their feelings differentlythan I do to bring up my
feelings.
So, for those that areteeter-tottering on this line,
listen to our chaotic episode,listen to our advice and feel
(33:50):
your feelings and be okay withit.
So last week we didn't get todo this before the intro.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Before the intro I got one more thing that I want
to just briefly touch.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
All right go ahead.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Guess what it's about .
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Me.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
No rude.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Guess what I always talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't know.
Dolly Parker, oh, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So did you see?
Did you see the article fromthe Federalist?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
When did it come out?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
A couple of it's like two weeks ago at this point.
So two, a couple, it's like twoweeks ago at this point.
So two weeks ago the federalist, which is a dying republican
news company, um, they wrote anarticle calling out dolly parton
for her fake and dangerousgospel oh yes, I did see this
and I think the plan backfired.
(34:40):
Obviously they were looking forsome kind of clickbait so they
could stay relevant, but I thinkthis backfired really, really,
really hard really um so theycalled her out, saying that her
gospel was dangerous because shedoes not condemn gay people.
Um, they're trying to say thather religion is fake and yada
yada, which I think is highlyinappropriate because I don't
(35:05):
think she's she's a christian soit's not dolly's religion dolly
has.
Dolly has said that it's not myjob to judge and I love everyone
because you're supposed to lovethy neighbor.
She literally is quoting whatchristianity states you're
supposed to be doing loving thyneighbor, not judging, not
(35:25):
casting the first stone.
Let you know.
Let he who have not sinned castthe first stone.
She'll say I am a sinner, Idon't do that.
She is more saint, like thanmost saints on this celestial
plane that we know of.
Like she, I think instead ofthem attacking her, they should
have used her to say hey, thisis what christians are supposed
(35:47):
to be, this is what christiansshould be acting like, saying
that it's not my job to judgeyou.
I love you in the same way thatgod does.
God makes us all.
I'm not.
I'm not the one here toquestion it.
They called her out on that.
That's stupid.
It has backfired across theglobe with people from all walks
(36:07):
of life.
I saw there's a hilarious postwhere it's like talking about
the different types of people inthe world and it's like the
metal heads and like the 1980sgoth rock ride at dawn and it's
like the metal heads right atdawn.
All of these people are ready towage war against the
federalists because they'resaying they're saying you don't
(36:30):
attack dolly parton and get awaywith it no, because the woman
is literally a saint exactly sothe art, the author of this
article, has since come back outand issued an apology good um,
and is saying that she shouldhave chosen someone else other
than dolly to make her point,because her point is not
(36:53):
condemning gay people, not thatdolly parton is a bad part.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
What the fuck no, so you just she realized that the
entire world is coming for her.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
This woman has been receiving death threats, her
personal information has beenleaked all over the internet and
she's making this apology nowto make face.
And I am sorry.
But you don't get to say, oh,I'm so sorry, I picked the wrong
person.
No, that's not how this works.
You picked Dolly Parton for areason you wanted to call Dolly
(37:22):
out, and then you realize thatthe entire world is against your
opinion.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
And that's what you missed on Glee Boop.
So now do you want to say thething?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Do you need another minute or are you good?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, you're not going to talk, you don't say the
ending, I won't Say the otherthing.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I ending, I will say the other thing, I will, I will,
okay.

my little catchphrase sharewith your friends, share with
