Welcome back to the podcast. Thisis called off the air, more banter,
less filter. It's the conversations wehave when the mics aren't on.
It's Marcus Corey, producer Jason Welcomeeveryone, what's up back in our safe
space? This cracked me up.We just well, I don't know how
we stumbled on this, Jason,but it's The heading was what makes men
uncomfortable? How's it doing? Showprep? One day? And then I
(00:20):
was like, is this a topic? Let's save it for the podcast?
Yeah, this is too good.But Marcus and I were going over this
list and I was like, doesthis make you uncomfortable? So let's do
it. You know, let's let'syou know what, let's identify the eight
hundred pound gerrilla in the room.This list, to me is slightly homophobic.
I agree, That's my only problemwith it. And we recognize that
(00:42):
it's homophobic, and the stupidity ofthe homophobic nature is what's funny? Does
it's making fun of this? Correct? Yeah? So the number one Corey,
what makes me uncomfortable being naked withanother guy in a changing room,
locker room, Jim? Whatever?That's now. I have many thoughts on
(01:02):
this. My gym, a spa, whatever, I have no problem.
I don't know these people who cares. Now Here's where it gets weird though.
It's like a coworker, like ifI'm doing like a gym thing with
Marcus, I'm gonna be like youover there, me over here. I
come walking out wearing nothing but atoothbrush. I see this guy too much.
I don't want to. I don'twant to. He doesn't want to
(01:23):
know what's under the hood. AndI'm gonna admit that I don't know what
it is about women's locker rooms.But and I've heard this from men's locker
rooms too. I would go tothe locker room at Nike to get ready
to work out, and they're justlike naked people everywhere yea. And they're
like sitting on the benches with notowel on them, and then they're like
(01:46):
bending over and picking stuff up,and I'm like, I've just seen more
than your gyn and I it's fine. I don't care. It's a human
body. But at the same time, I don't want to know that much.
Belt when they're using the air blowersto dry more than just the on
their team. Chef's seen that amillion times used to. It was a
long time ago, but I usedto go to a gym. It was
in the city south the Market,and you know, people loves a crowded
(02:09):
gym. People went there to workout right. The locker room was its
whole other scene. Guys just lovedhanging out naked there and it was like
there was always at least a dozenguys sitting around naked blow drying there.
They're getting away from their families.It's when they don't put the towel down
that bothers me. I think theywere showing off for the other guys.
Oh oh yeah, social scene sittingcross legged on the floor clipping or toneenails.
(02:36):
I'm like, that's something you doat home. The biggieback on something
that Jason said, Like, forme, there was one time I was
walked into the gym in Seattle andthe guy who was my weekly server at
a restaurant down the street was there. I saw everything, just full frontal,
and then two days later he's takenmy order at the brew pub and
I don't know why. It wasstrange. I feel at that point you
(02:58):
feel like you know too much.Yeah, that's the only thing. It's
a mystery exactly, thank you.It's a mystery in our relationship, all
right. What else? There's alot of these here crying in front of
another guy? Oh my god,this list is this list is dumb.
So I don't know how. Ifeel like I have no problem. You
don't show emotion for anybody, though, Yeah, I'm pretty devoid. So
that's that. Jason has its ownpersonal issues. I don't think I want
(03:20):
to cry in front of anybody.Marcus eats a donut and gets weepy.
I do, so weepy I do. It's the diabetes, dude. It's
funny though, because, like Jeff, I've only seen cry and it's not
a full on cry cry. It'smore like a tearing up, and it
usually has to do with animals,like not so much people, but like
anytime one of our animals has passedaway, I'll see him tear out.
Yeah, I mean, I'll behonest with you. I had a lot
(03:43):
of moments when I was taking careof my dad, dealing with the funeral,
that kind of stuff. I mean, that's to be expected. But
crying in front of another guy,no problem. But I think it depends
on what you're crying over. Yeah, that's that's a that's a big one.
Like I've seen a guy cry overa football game and I'm like,
dude, come on, so dumb. Yeah, okay, what about this?
What about this saying I love youto another guy? No problem,
(04:06):
I've done it, none whatsoever.My Midwestern in laws are very much about
the love you. There's a differencebetween I love you and love you.
Yeah, in my opinion, becauseI have done love you bro or love
you man sub like that. Yeah, But I don't go like Marcus,
(04:26):
I love you. I don't knowhow. I don't know how I would
feel about hold his hand. Thatwould be the best day of my life.
I could get some validation from Jason. He'll never do it. I
have. I have a cousin withthe same age. I just got off
the phone within the other day.He's very big one. I love you
cousin, and I say I loveyou too, like full sentence. Okay,
that's nice. That's a relative right, of course you love them.
(04:49):
It's not like you're gonna go onthe boss's office and be like, dude,
I love you man. I mightdepend on it depends on the situation.
Is it contract time or not.I'm just kidding. I'm great now.
This one makes me mad. Thisnext one to a gay bar.
So we're talking about stuff that makesmen uncomfortable going to a gay bar.
I've done it. I've been toa thousand, not a thousand, but
you know, I've been to Iwould probably say fifteen different gay bars in
(05:14):
my lifetime. One of my bestnights we so, Jeff and I were
witnesses to a friend of ours wedding. I mean they just got married at
the courthouse. Then we had anice dinner, and then we ended up
at a gay bar, and itwas Jeff was just so cool. I'm
like, that's how it should be. Yeah, that's how It's just a
bar people, It's just a bar. Yeah. I mean have I gotten
my butt grabbed a few times?Yeah? It's very validating, though,
(05:38):
isn't it. One I am,they're drunk, they're grabbing for anything.
At that point, it's the sameas a straight bar. Yeah. I
can see that. I can rememberhappens here. I mean, we'll get
their butts grabbed. So I grewup in Selinas, is a very small
town, very close minded. Inthe nineties, and there was one gay
bar in Monterey, And when Iwas in my twenties, my friends would
(06:01):
routinely, not even friends, butguys that I work with, Guys that
I They would troll each other bytricking, you know, people to go
into that bar, like they'd takehim in, sit down, So lame,
right, ridiculous. But it wasthe reaction when the person who was
quote being trolled would come out andthey'd be all offended, and I'd be
like, I'd never understood, whywhy are you offended? Why is this
(06:26):
stupid behavior on everything? This isagain, they've been trained to be dumb
correct small town nineties ridiculousness. That'swhy I couldn't get out there fast enough
to be fair. I couldn't getout of there fast enough. Okay,
what else? This next one mademe really laugh. Putting sunscreen on the
back of another man. I'm doingit. I'm doing it, but I'm
talking you through it. You would, I would. I'm not gonna put
(06:46):
sunscreen on anyone except my wife ormy kids. This is too personal.
If we yeah, we're kicking itlike we're just having the day off.
We're kicking it out at the beach. Corey, Oh, Jason, can
you know if I just say,hey, I can't reach this one spot,
can you hit it for me?I would make it. I would
make light of it. I wouldsay, hey, man, I'm just
warning you. I'm gonna be touchingyou in a familiar way. It doesn't
(07:09):
mean anything that makes it worse.Yeah. I would be like, you
better find that spray stuff because skinto skin, rub it in, happenn
rub it in? What's wrong withyou? I don't like to be touched.
Oh, such, Jason's closing down. I thought you were open minded.
Okay, Marcus, Yes, youand I are on like a work
(07:30):
trip. Let's say iHeart sent usout to Vegas or something, right,
but they can only afford one hotelroom. All right? Are you going
to sleep in the same bed withme? Yes? Are you? Don't
even hesitate, I've already I've doneit. It's a king, not a
California king, just a king.I have a solid story. My best
friend and I. I was workingat a radio station in Fresno and he
had just gotten a job, hadno place to stay. I'm like,
(07:54):
come stay at my place and youhave a couch. I did, but
for some reason he was like,I'm just gonna I'll be here, you
be over there. The funny partwas I was in charge of the music.
The next morning, the disc jockeyon the air called the house and
without even thinking, he picked upthe phone and he was like hello,
and she's like, yeah, isMarcus there? And then yeah, he's
(08:16):
right here he did. It's exactlyhold on, he's right here. Hands
are though it was Sanna, Ohmy god, she was the DJ on
the other end of the phone.Anyway, let me wake him up.
Yeah, hang on, he's righthere. Where's your hands? I have
I have zero qualms. I don't. I just it doesn't matter to me
(08:37):
yet. I wouldn't want to sleepin the same bed with Marcus just because
I imagine him being like a stinkything. Yeah I am, I am.
I'm not a good bed partner.I'm drulye stinky. Would never share
with bed with another man. Stupid, it's so stupid. Wearing pink,
oh pa, I just don't lookgood in pink. Jeff for pink button
(08:58):
down on our first date with reallycool corduroy blazer when it takes me out
and I was just like, God, he's a good dresser. That's a
secure man. Nothing wrong with that. That's the Jeff. That's I even
kind of think that that breast cancerawareness campaign they do where real men wear
pink, I think that is sopast tense. It's not And I even
told somebody I was like, dude, that's not a hip anymore. It
(09:20):
feels like a whole other part ofthe country. Yeah, you know what
I mean. Yeah, what elseis on the list? Receiving flowers as
a thank you gift? I loveflowers. I don't want flowers. No,
that's lame. I don't want flowersbecause they die. I want no,
No, they look I like plantsbecause they live, do they though?
Because I'm not. I want tohave a green thumb. It's just
(09:43):
not working out. I don't havea great green thumb. But Jeff got
me a bunch of plants for mybirthday to kind of like, you know,
warm up my studio apartment when Iwas living there and it was Yes,
a couple did not make it,but I still have them and they're
in our house now and I lovethat. So like, when I want
to do a thank you gift,I don't do flowers. I do plans.
Just give me a bottle of jamison, you know, know your audience.
(10:05):
That's true too. It's like,what are you doing. You're giving
me a project, You're giving mesomething to do, give me something to
drink, give me a bottle oftequila. If you really you really want
to say thank you? Yeah,go ahead. Hugging another guy? Oh,
come on, zero quomps, moveon. Yeah, no problem at
all. St But you know whatI will say this, is it like
a love you, bro, andthen you hug it out? Or is
it like a you know, getin there. It depends on the guy.
(10:28):
For me, it depends on you. Guys said that to me all
the time. There's nothing worse forit. I'm talking man to man hugging
another and you're getting Hey, bro, good to see you. I've done
it, linger, I've done it. There's nothing worse than being a hugger.
There's nothing worse than being a hugger, and then and and engaging a
non hugger without even asking first orforgetting I come on. I was friends
(10:50):
with this girl, like I'd goin for a front hug and she'd go
for a side and then it'd belike this weird bumping my face into her
shoulder right because she was so uncomfortableyou really, you really got to read
the landing, you know what Imean? Like, if I'm coming in,
what's your reaction. I hugged aboss one time and he just froze
all the way up. And thenI realized and I said it out like,
(11:11):
I said, oh, you're nota hugger. My bad, And
then I backed up. I wantyou to go hug our boss right now.
Oh god, he would die tobe like, what are you doing?
You have a great weekend, youknow, with him, with him,
it has to be the right moment. It really does. Because I've
hugged him a couple of times,but he gets yeah. No, We've
known each other for thirty years,bro, I've seen some things. Huger.
(11:33):
No, he's not, but I'vehugged him up. Oh well,
yeah, I hug him. I'mthe only one who hasn't gotten a hug
from him. Have you tried?Feels like exclusionary. I've never tried.
Okay, we're getting down to thedregs. Okay, okay. Percent of
men do not want to say Ilove you to a romantic partner. I
don't even understand what that means.Does that mean in front of your boys?
(11:54):
You don't want to say I loveyou your lady or your significant other.
Is that what they're saying. Yeah, that's so, that's caveman.
Yeah, because why because your boysare gonna be like, oh, check
out this pe wi little bee.I don't know. I mean, Jeff
would probably never say I love youto me in front of you guys.
But he really, well, herarely says anything nice to me. Oh
(12:16):
well, there's that. It's kindof a dick shh. I told him
that yesterday. I was like,you know what, I'm your wife.
You have to be nice to meat some point, like trolls you.
Yeah, he's always he's always puttingon a show in front of me.
He's always like taking shots. Youget home and the show continues, and
I'm like, I've been with youmarried fifteen years, been with you longer
(12:39):
than that. I'm gonna go benice, all right. The final one
dying with another male friend at arestaurant. What people part what part of
what part of the country? Wasthis survey taken in somewhere I'm thinking remote
Texas, unless I'm thinking so ifyou're like in Oklahoma, unless you're like
(13:03):
at the job site, and let'sdo lunch and you're sitting there with your
hard hat on, eating out ofyour lunch box. I mean, I
guess, dine with a male friendat a restaurant. I want next time
we go to lunch, which Iknow will be never all three of us,
but I want you two to siton the same side of the booth,
and I want it to be likea super romantic restaurant. Jason,
well, Jason will never drink it. Fantasy will never happens. YEA,
(13:28):
who cares. I guess I'm justnot butch enough to think this is an
issue. Yeah, it's sad thatthis is like a list that came out
recently. Dining with another male friendat a restaurant, I really enjoy that,
especially if it's like another dad,especially if his daughter and my daughter
are friends, because then you cancommiserate on kind of like minded issues,
(13:50):
things you're struggling with, things you'regoing through. It's like, wouldn't you
want to have a boy's name?Yeah? But then, well, maybe
there's a difference between a full blownboys night and just two dudes. I
don't know, not to me,because you roll up with another guy and
the hostess is like, just youtwo. Yeah, and you're like,
Yep, we've been together for along time. Well, I mean what
(14:13):
I mean? I don't know.Like I was telling you guys the other
day, my best friend and Ihave been together for thirty years. We've
broken up several times where we justget tired of looking at each other and
then you go on a make update. Yeah, why not, dude,
Applebee's here we go. Okay,Hey, that is a good time.
All right, shout out to Applebee'son alimeter right, ribblets Okay,
(14:33):
