  Speaker 1: Well, we're trying to okay, maybe we won't name the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: coffee shop.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: No, it's textbook book cafe in a green. I can
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: also see your oat milk separating and these they're not
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: doing oatly.
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: They're probably doing oat planet.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Oat planet separates and so planet oah, yes, and so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: does silk and so and Shabani actually is very cool.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: Chabani is really bannid. The girls know it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I was saying before maybe I would switch to getting
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: lattes here, but now I'm thinking about that separating milk,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but a whole coup of it with a little bit
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of espresso. Gotta go at least I put it on
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the company card and I about paying for it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, while we're on the note of coffee, I just
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I have to say, I love a coffee shop with
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the rewards program.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, but not just a rewards program. I want a punch.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Card, but then you have to carry a punch card.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're not siding with me on this because
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you're a traditionalist. You are, I am, but I hate
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: carrying my wallet around with me. And actually I went
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to the movies recently at Regal Essex and waited in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: line for like ten minutes to at the concession stand
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and they handed me my popcorn and my drink. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: when I went to pay, I was like, oh, I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: going to tap. They were like, we we only to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: physical cards and I hadn't brought my wallet with me.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Because where where can you not tap? In twenty twenty.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Three famously does not take Apple pay Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: No, this is a Regal Oh so yeah, oh wow,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that's so. I was pissed. And I had to see
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: him the movie without popcorn or a drink.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: There was no one like behind you in line. That
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: was like, don't know.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And I did stand there for a moment kind of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: like making eyes at the person behind the counter, sort
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of waiting for him to be like, worry about it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. It's fine. He was like, okay,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: well sorry, I like we were in a stalemate and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: usually I win those.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say I actually wouldn't have. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was like engaging with a customer. I would never in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a million year spe customer, let me take your popcorn away, Diva. Also,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: where's that popcorn gonna go back into the bin? No, no,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's gonna get thrown out. He should have just given
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it to me. Give me, give me my popcorn and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: my mountain dew. Because Regal is a pepsi cinema and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to drink pepsi, so I got him
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: mountain dew. Thank god, I had brought some candy with me,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: so it worked out. But anyway, welcome to Like a Virgin,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the show where we give yesterday's pop culture today's takes
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Imra's Domina.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: And I'm fran Torado and we are not just coffee snobs.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: We also go to the Theata.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And you have to know, speaking of non amc theaters, Rose,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you went to a Regal, I'm going to the Alamo
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'm furious because the amount of times I've
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: tried to get you to go to the Alamo and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: every time you've said no, Well, someone else is paying
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: for it. Okay, that I'm going to go see Bottoms,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: which I think you've already seen. I have seen Bottoms.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I saw it on Saturday, and I.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Mean, can you give me like the non spoiler kind
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of review.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean for anyone who doesn't know. Bottoms
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is this new comedy starring Rachel Senate and Iowa Debris.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's directed by Emma Seligman, who also co wrote it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: with Rachel, and it's about these two horny loser lesbians
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in high school who decide that the way that they're
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: going to get girls is to start an all girls
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fight club, which is a genius premise for a film.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It was so good, it was so funny. It's like
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: perfectly absurd in the way that a really good teen
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: comedy should be. Like it's very jawbreaker, very Heather's a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: little mean girls, but meaner than mean girls, and it's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: so so gay.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Is there an element of revenge in it?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm sold, Yes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Revenge and it is. It's a total fantasy, but it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: takes place kind of in you know, you know, we
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: don't really know where their school is, but it seems
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to be in a town where no one is sort
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of like preoccupied by wokeness. But then at the same time,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: like these girls aren't facing like homophobic bullying, they're just losers.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But also like there's more misogyny than there is homophobia,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: but it's sort of of like amped up to a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: cartoonish level. Yeah, absurd and the men. The one thing
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I appreciated was that even though the men like are
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: very misogynistic, there's never any threat of sexual violence, just
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: like love actual violence, actual violce, which I definitely prefer.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I love actual violence as opposed to like other kinds
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of violence. I know that sounds crazy, but because it's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at this absurdist or cartoonish level, it's like, Okay, we're
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: not taking ourselves too seriously.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Where if they were to kind of pivot and it
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: were to be.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: A sexual violence kind of thing, all of a sudden,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: they're trying to say something about the world, and it's like, Okay.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't want to think about that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: They were all my like my animaniacs like cartoons.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Again, Yes, everyone in the movie is so funny. I mean,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it's really like Io kind of is the star's she.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Is in three other movies or two other movies. She's
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: gonna be Jesus star.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Rachel's amazing. All of the girls in their little club
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: are really great. Kaya Gerber super funny. The Prince from
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Red White and Royal Blue is like the main antagonist,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and he's so funny. He's doing this sort of like
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: toxic masculinity, but it's this very like femme toxic masculinity
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that it's like toxic masculinity that's sort of like so stupid.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It's like he's he's like.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Childlike an effeminate, like man baby villain.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's giving like almost guest on a little bit.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Oh and he's straight, right, he's straight. Yeah, but he
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: acts gay.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I mean he just acts.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: He's got those lips.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's like a baby. He's a big baby.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Okay, I love that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That honestly sounds way more interesting than whatever he did
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in Red White and World Blue.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: If you want to hear our, paywild discussion on patreon
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: dot com.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Slash like a Virgin, there's a couple of really good
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: needle drops. Charlie XX did the music for it. It
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: was just so much fun. I had such a great time.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I saw it on Saturday night at the Alamo in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a packed house and everyone was roaring with laughter cool
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: including me. Bottoms is only playing in ten theaters in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the US right now, so I know it's hard for
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: people to see. But I told my sisters, who are
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: twenty and they're both queer, that they had to see it,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and they had already been planning to. And I'm just
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: so happy that their generation has a teen movie like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this that is so fucking gay.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Wow. And you didn't even like BookSmart?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Right, it kind of feels like almost Booksmarty, but just
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: in terms of its audience demographic, not necessarily the film.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It's I liked BookSmart. No, I like, oh you did, okay.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think BookSmart made as much of an impact
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: on the culture as like people at the time kind
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of thought it was going to.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true, Like there was everyone was like, it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: an Olivia Wilde Sonce and oh my god, there's going
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to be so many more like songs. Again, yes, I mean,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but it was like her first movie that she directed,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but she was an actress up until that point. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: guess I don't know, I'm making fun of other people.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not like saying it was a zo on.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's it. People expected it to become
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: an iconic teen movie, and I know that we're not
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that far out of it. But I just don't think
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it has embedded in the culture the way that I
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: do think Bottoms will.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I hope so too, because, like with the strike,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like they haven't really been given a lot of films
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: have been given these kind of like SAG like exceptions
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that they can promote the film. But most of those
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: are documentaries, and apparently there are two A twenty four
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: films as well.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And also very small indie films. I have a friend
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: who's in one of them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I also have friends that are doing two different well
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: if actually, honestly, I'll plug them now, but that's.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That's my friend is Oh okay, Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: And also Cocomo City are movies that are like extremely
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: worth finding screenings for if you can, because they've been
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: given the SAG exception.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was kind of crazy to see Bottoms knowing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that in a normal meatia landscape, this is the kind
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of movie where every person who is in it would
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: jump up one fame level because of how good the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: movie is and how big it would be. And I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: think it will still happen for some of the people
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in that, Like they're all definitely gonna get more jobs
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: from this, Like definitely the leads, Definitely the director. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: feel like she'll have her next project after this. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: feel like will be a bigger movie. But you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: like none of them can promote it, and it's I
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: think if if they could, this movie would be everywhere
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: right now in a way that it's not going to be.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But it's still doing really well despite that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Io and Rachel are already like they've
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: already been kind of like the girls to Book in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the last year in some way, And so I kind
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of agree with you. Yeah, Like I'm I want I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: wish they could promote it. I want more for them.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But once it goes to streaming, I'm sure it'll have
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like an other huge moment.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: We got to get it to streaming quick because people
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: just can't see it like right now.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: So do you know what I watched last night?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: What I watched The Flash?
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, friends, I told you I was gonna see it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Look flipped We flipped it on we.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Were like, oh, this is available on Max, Now why
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: don't we watch it? Asra Miller's in it? Non binary
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: something something. This was supposed to reset the DC cinematic universe.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: None of those words are in the Bible.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't need to talk about it in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: depth because you haven't seen it, Slash, you're never going
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to see it, never, never see I thought at one
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: point you were maybe thinking about it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about it when I was bored and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it was in theaters. But now that I would have
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to commit to sitting and watching it on TV, no.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so the thing for me is like I'm
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk less about the actual movie and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: more just about what's surrounding it because you know more about.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: That too, and like, but was the movie good?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So top line, I would say the first two thirds
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of the movie are actually genuinely lovely. I think that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there are some effects that are very bad. It feels
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes like when I was watching the movie, like they
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: realized that it was going to bomb and they decided
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to like not finish the visual effects.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Interesting, there's a really huge like action sequence at the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: beginning where the visual like it's this do you want
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: me to just tell you what happens. There's basically there's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a building on fire and it's like a hospital, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like the building kind of collapses and tons of babies
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: fall out.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Of the Oh, I've seen the thing with the baby.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, with the microwaves. Yes, and he saves all of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: these babies. And yes, it is a he hymn the Flash,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like Barry is a he hymn M. And he's also
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: let you know, oh yeah, okay, yeah, just some things
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that I noticed. Yeah, Ezra Miller is not LATINX. They
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: are Dutch and French and Irish or something like that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: But Barry is Argentinian, which is cool. And the whole
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: plot revolves around his mother. You And if you already
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: saw the baby shower clip, that was like one of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the moments where I was like, this is like genuinely
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: like kind of fun but like the effects are so
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: distracting and I can't actually like see this scene. But
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Ezra himself was actually amazing, and I was like, you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: are genuinely funny, engaging, like you're hitting every single joke.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: The characterization of Barry as a Flash, to me is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: trying to fulfill what Spider Man does for Marvel, where
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's this entry point of a teen they're like in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: every everyday kind of kid, kind of a loser, like
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: has a fast metabolism, like always eating, And there was
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: something genuinely exciting about that addition to DC in a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: world where it's just like Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, these
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like huge heavy hitters and no kind of like on
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the street yeah level hero apprentice apprentice level heroes kind of.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And there hasn't been like a flash movie has technically
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: been in the work since the eighties, and this reboot,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like I think was only picked up again in like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, so it's been like eons of like blabored
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: development over this film that had many directors and then
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: on top of that Azra Miller drama, which we don't
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: need to summarize for you, but like, I don't know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I have like more to say about
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the film. For the most part, it's like the last
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: third was really bad, and the multiverse of it all
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is like really derivative of like everything we just saw
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in Spider Man No Way Home. So like for me,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it was just kind of a flop, even if Ezra
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Miller was genuinely lovely.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Michael Keaton was very fun.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I think the cameo so if you don't know that,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it's already been talked about all over press. So Michael
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Keaton came back to reprit his role as Batman, which
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is a very very genius idea if they didn't already
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: do it in Spider By No Way Home like a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: year ago.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: So it's like just derivative.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It's just it's so so un it was so uninspired
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to me that I had a hard time enjoying it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: But he was loved. He was amazing.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And the characterization of old Batman that Michael Keaton and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: stated alongside Ben Affleck as Batman, who was also in
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the movie, because there are multiple Batman's and multiple flashes
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of course, as well as a cgi back from the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: dead Adam West Batman, Nick Cage as Batman, like all
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of these old movie Batman's coming back.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: Very weird. George Clooney, George Clooney came back.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: He had nipples.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I wish.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: But yeah no.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It was just so it was like girls like this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is so monkey Sea Monkey do like do you not
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: have any can you come up.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: With something else, with something else.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot to say, Michael Keaton was or pre
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: maybe you'd be interested. This was repreasing a version of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Old Batman, like they call him Old Batman, and it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: this version in the comics of Batman that comes to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: help Flash solve a kind of time travel dilemma. Okay,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and I thought that was like in the lore. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: thought that was really cool. But overall, the movie was
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: totally fine. I think it's recommended. I would actually recommend
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you stream it because I think it's genuinely fun. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I also think I came away from the movie unsurprised
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: by the lack of quality and the derivative nature of it,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but completely surprised by what was a very strong performance
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: by Ezra Miller and a wonderful contribution to the DC
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: cinematic universe. The Flash, to me is ten times more
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: interesting than Superman or Wonder Woman. And I am really
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: bummed that Ezra sucks so much that.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: The movie kind of tanked.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, the movie tank for a lot of reasons,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but I think Ezra's controversies were the primary reason that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the movie tanked, right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's a mix of that and just superhero
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: fatigue in general.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I mean the movie is not like amazing,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna cry home about it, but I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: do I think that Ezra Miller's performance was worthy of valuation.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: And I think that the Flash as a character is great.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: It was is a cool character. So yeah, I'm kind
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: of bummed that it didn't work out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: For Warner Poor Warner poor, but it was it was
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: diabolically I know, poor WarnerMedia.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: WarnerMedia.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had their big it was one of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: their biggest flops of all time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: They lost two hundred million.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Love to see that, Yeah, I do love to see that. Actually,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: So thank you Ezra Miller.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: If that's if those are all of your thoughts on
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the Flash.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Those are all my thoughts.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Ezra Miller is queering the entertainment industry by way of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: making the movie flop.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I know that we want to talk about Ronie, but
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I do want to make a brief pit stop and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: share then I am a gamer now.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Information that I know. But I'm a shock that you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: want to share with a version I am a gamer.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Well let's not say that.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, after this week, no girl, I
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: am I am gaming you'll lose.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: For like Mark my words, rosewall is interested for hours
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a day.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I so, I, you know, am in the middle of
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a little little depressive episode, and I thought that, you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: distracting myself with video games might be a good way
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to deal with that. In my therapist agreed, so I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: bought a Nintendo Switch. I originally tried playing Stardo Valley
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: because I thought maybe something sort of like cozy low
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Stakes would be the way to go. I got bored
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: within I mean three minutes.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll play Stardu Valley for you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And then I also bought When I bought my switch,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I bought the Witcher three The Wild Hunt because I
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: love the Witcher show and I figured, like a sort
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: of RPG like Swords and Sorcery, more quest driven game
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: would like very narrative driven, would be good for me.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And honey Out was right because the first night I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: played it, I played it for five hours. I forgot
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to eat dinner. And then I woke up the next
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: morning and the first thing I did was like, oh fuck,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I got to kill that griffin. And I pulled my
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: switch and I was and I just went down. This
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: makes me so happy, and like the other. And it's
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the great thing about it is that while I'm playing,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think about anything. All I'm thinking about is
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: what I have to do. I'm like, fuck, I have
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to find that goat so that that guy will conjure
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: up a spirit, so that I can find those two
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: missing women, so that I can get the information from
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the baron, so that I can find my adoptive daughter
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and slay all these monsters.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: How far are you?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not that far, okay, but I watch, yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm only playing it. I did get I did
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: get the OLED switch so I can play on my TV.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: But I've only been playing on the console, and I've
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: been trying to limit myself to just a couple hours
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: a day because the time warps yeah so quickly.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And I haven't started bringing it anywhere, Like, I haven't
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: brought it on the bus or anything. I'm only playing
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it at home. But I'm obsessed, and I think this
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: is my new era for now. We'll see. Like, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I do feel you're right in that I think another
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: version of me would have gotten bored or like as
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: soon as I came up against like the first challenge
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that I couldn't beat. I would have just been like, ugh,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I'm done, but not now, like I'm stuck on this
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: fight right now where I have to kill this miscarried
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: baby who turned into a monster, and then is like
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: summoning these ghouls and I'm like, I can't. I can't
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: be the level. Like I've done it like ten times
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: in the past twenty four hours, and usually I would
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: just like walk away, or I would like find a
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: cheat code or something. Honey, I am killing that baby.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: If it's the last thing I do.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Do you need help?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should try to kill a baby. I'm it's
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: gotta be me, It's got to be I'm the Witcher.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you are the Witcher. I am the Witcher. Oh
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: my god. Wait, I'm so happy for your gaming, your
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: gaming journey.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You're officially a gamer, and you're gonna have to play
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: either Mario Kart or the Legend of Zelda game with me.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I want to get Mario Kart and you can come
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: over and play Mario Kart. I am gonna play Zelda game.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: But I think people have been telling me to do
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Breath of the Wild rather than Tears of the Kingdom,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and then Hogwarts Legacy comes out for the switch in November. Plea,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: please pleaseleepe And I'm not saying that I'm gonna play it,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: but I'm definitely interested. Wink wink. Do we want to
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: talk about Ronie here or do we want to do
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it for Patreon?
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Let's do it for Patreon.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, virgins, we went over time today, so we
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: will be migrating the Real Housewives of New York conversation
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: over to our patreon. If you want to get a
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: taste of that, you can go on over to patreon
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: dot com slash like a Virgin.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I keep seeing people, you know, filling up their backpacks
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go back to school. That's not true.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know anyone who's still in school, but I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: know that it's back to school season. Every time I
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: go to Target, there's like some sign for like kids
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to buy backpacks or whatever. So it is the perfect
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: time to have a discussion with Greta titleman, incredible comedian, actress,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: extraordince Jordanaire. And when we asked her what she wanted
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: to talk about, her response was.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: Gel pens, gel pens.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: And I think it made a lot of sense because
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: she herself has a podcast that's kind of about elementary
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: school high school trauma.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who knows what what regreta is gonna
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: have to say about gel pens. But you know, break
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: out your you know, bick purple, sparkly gel.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Pen or whatever, your G two seven.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Get ready to dot your eyes with little hearts and yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it's back to school time.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Think about gel pens first starters. They're a status symbol. Okay,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Like if you have gel pens, if you have a
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: complete pack of gel pens in your trapper keeper, that's
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: like the full set, every color, intact, you have your
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: shit together, you are an elite student. And that was
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: never me, Like, that was never ever me. I had
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: a pack of gel pens. But see the reason why
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about them today is I have
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: gelpen envy. I'm a lefty, so like the gel pen
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: is kind of my biggest it's kind of my biggest challenge,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: one might say, in the world of pen because it
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: just is gloopy, gloppy all over the page when I
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: write with it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: You know, So what I'm hearing is gel pens are
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: what introduced you to the idea of class consciousness, right,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And also gel pens are ablest.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Ablest, got it, got it, got it, got it? Okay, okay, okay, Well,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: now we've said that, we have we have said that,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: we have said we have said that, and people are
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: saying that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't. I don't want to speak on your experience.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I want it to be your own.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But because I am a rightie and I I feel
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: like I love pen culture and have always loved pen culture,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like pretty dedicated to the G two O seven
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: in like brown or blue?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Was that? I mean you say that like we're supposed
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to know what that means?
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Can you explaind G two O seven I believe?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Is that a big pen?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: No, it is a pot it's a pilot pilot pen. Oh,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I know her, and I know seven is the thickness
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: because the point two and the point five are like
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to thin.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: The point seven is right where you need it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: So I'm addicted to the point fives.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: Oh say that always that?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're getting a little we're getting a little, a
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: little TikTok here.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: It's good for me because of my left handedness. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: then okay, really I obviously love a pen.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Pen. Wait what brand is that?
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I've never heard it's honey, but it's made in Japan.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting. So wait, so has being left handed been
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a challenge for you?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the deal.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Let me just show you some pens that are absolute
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: no goes for me. This medium z grip, whatever the
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: fuck brand, this is the demonics, okay, because what it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: first of all, trying to force me into a hand
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: structure that, honey, it's that's not what my hand does.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, So do you just keep it on hand to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: torture yourself with.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I fucked up and I just grabbed a pen willy
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: nilly from my partner husband's.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Penjar oh betrayal.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: And this is what I grabbed, and I immediately started
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: writing with it, and I went yucky, yuck.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I just it's it's thick.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: And it's bad, and it wants it wants me to
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: get the sentence all over my hand, you know. So then,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: of course, in elementary school, I always wanted.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: To be bubble letter girly.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I always wanted to be pretty handwriting girly.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I wanted to.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Be cursive, gorgeousity beautiful. But kirstp also kind of fucked
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: me because I just dragged it across the page, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: it was all blurred, so I had to correct and
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: now I write in all caps.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, that is a choice.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Do you all like exclusively?
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Like, I will show you a page of my journal.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: It looks like I'm screaming.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, and we're going to screenshot so that we can
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: see God.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Like, I hope it all works out for me today.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Your journal, looking at it is very loud. I really
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: like that you write in all caps. I write and
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: all you know, you know the s that kind of
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: looks like a like a sword, you know what I'm
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: talking about. That that's how I write. That's Wait, this
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: s every every letter I found a way.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about this famous doodle s?
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Of course this s. Wait, we're gonna have to screenshot
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that at some point. Yeah, okay. I I also was like,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: like hearts dotting my eyes kind of like a girly penmanship.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I you were a fag.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, I was a fag.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: The girls are not being taught cursive anymore, right, is
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: that has been eradicated.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: I think it's been eradicated.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And I said, don't say gay, don't write Yes the.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Gate way, that's what I'm So they're not wrong handwriting. Yes,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: cursive is gay handwriting.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: It is groomed.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: It is like the grooming of handwriting. And I and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like, Okay, this is what we need to talk.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: We've got to stop talking about this podcast that they're
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna find it once.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: One day someone is actually going to listen to this
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: podcast and it will be clipped out and put on
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: pink news dot com.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah news is not who we need to worry about.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: But yeah, no, Okay.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So I was like on the cusp of like handwriting
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: still being taught in schools, but we were taught like
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: normal writing first. And I really envy your architectural handwriting style, Greta,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: because like I my handwriting is like very fucked up
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: now because it's like half cursive, half normal and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: do upper case letters in the middle of words.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: I love that because yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And it's just like how I don't know how my brain,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I honestly should turn like my very bizarre, very murdery
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: handwriting into like a typeface or something, because that makes
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: no sense. It's like, why are the a's capital here
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: but they're not capital here? Like what are the SA's doing?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Why do you still do the cursive R, even though
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the cursive R is the worst cursive letter in the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: cursive alphabet.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: So you've got some chicken scratch tendencies. I do as well.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I also have some handwriting related trauma because I grew
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: up not holding my pen right way. I so I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: hold it between these two fingers and instead of you
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: know the correct way, like this is the right way,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: you know it resting on your thumb, but I always
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: held it between my second and middle finger, and well,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: we are, but I was. I was persecuted for it
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: by various teachers in elementary school who said, even though
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: my handwriting was fine, because I didn't hold the pen right,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: they would give me lower grades for it are because
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't conform, because I wouldn't conform to their standards.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Do you remember I don't think that they do this
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: anywhere either, But do you remember the grip trainers that
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: they would put on your.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: H's Literally it's it's a waste.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: It's not like it's like when you would get chopsticks
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: that when you didn't know how to use them and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: they would like reb a band. The thing was it
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: It was like they put it on the end of
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: your pencil, and it was kind of like a racer material,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: like gushy, and it would teach I know, it would
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: like teach you how to hold your pen.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: But it was fucked up.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: It was so hard to get it was impossible.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: It's like footbinding.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: It's footbinding, impossible, possible, and it's painful.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: There's actually no one who's wrong.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: What are we doing to the children?
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Now I feel like the kids aren't getting tortured anymore.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I feel like they're all just like using computers and iPads.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Are they even getting taught to write? Right there?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It's like they're in secretary school. They're just sitting there
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: on the computers.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Wait, have you did anybody listen to I know rosden't,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: but did you listen Greta?
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Did you my chance to listen.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: To like the Daily podcast about like how we fundamentally
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: taught a generation of people how to read incorrectly? No,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: but I'm obsessed with Okay, okay, do we do we
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: remember hooked on?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Of course?
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: So hooked ons, like is the right way to learn
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: how to read? It's how our generations I think learned
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: how to read. But I think shortly after our generation.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: There was a woman in like the early aughts who
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: was like, no, like phonetic, Like, phonetic learning is like
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: not helpful and not fun and not intuitive, and so
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: there's an intuitive way to learn by way of finding
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: context clues and like learning context around words and letters
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and like so and and she kind of was like
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: shitting on phonics, like while she was like populated on
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: shitted on phonics hard. While she was like populating this
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like new basically this new way of learning.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: And everyone believed her.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Everyone was like, this woman's right, Phonics sucks. Fuck phonics.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Let's now teach all of our kids how to learn intuitively.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: I can't remember what.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I'm as, so what does that mean? I'm now used.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Here's what Michael Barbarros.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It means that you listen to intuition the song.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: So it's kind of like, okay, here's how this is.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So but instead of like you learn, you know, sometimes
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you're learning like cat bat hat and you're like learning
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: how these like different like vowels or consonants move together.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: We're like if with this new woman's way to learn,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it's like you look at bat and then you see
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the words around it and you're like, like, I don't know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like I don't even know how to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: describe it because this is not how I learned how
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to read.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: But anyways, lo and behold.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Now we're like, I think a decade out from like
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: teaching an entire generation how to read this, and studies
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: are now finding that kids fundamentally are like their comprehension
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: skills are bad.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: That does not surprise me because like, yeah.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, say say more. Look, why doesn't it surprise either.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Of you rus children? I just no, I like, I'm like,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I'm on TikTok. I guess I have I have empirical
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: evidence that the kids are not all right. The generations
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: comeing up Generation ALPHA, that's the one after Gen Z.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: They are dumb.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: They're called generation.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Because they because we're at the end of the alphabet,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: we had to start all over.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: But they are out stupid.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: I will just say, kids in general just are dumb
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: like that, you know, it's just period.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: They're dae fair face.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I think that like the more.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Like the Okay, when I'm on TikTok and I see
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: kids they have the knowledge of like this will give
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: me something, will fulfill me with something and then I'm
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: gonna like focus energy posting on this thing that will
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: like lead to other emotions and other feelings. Like I
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: feel so grateful that we didn't have that, because I
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: do think that. You know, the internet can make you
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: smarter in many ways, but it can also make you
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: dumber and so many more ways. And I get disturbed
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: when I see like ten year olds being like like
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: whatever it is on TikTok, and I'm just like I
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: and not to sound like a fucking boomer, but I'm like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: go and sit on a goddamn swing and like play outside,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: like what are you doing fun?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: And use your pens and write heart above your eyes.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I think what it is is and I've noticed this.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I have sisters who are gen z. I think what
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: it is more than anything, it's a lack of curiosity
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: about the world because everything has been handed to them
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and they are just not seeking out additional information. Everything's
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: been demystified. Yeah, were you dumb child, Greta, No.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I was not, And I'll tell you why. I was
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: curious to a fault where like I was. I.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Well, we all went through a face.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I saw some like uh, some tweet about.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Someone that was like that was like if you were.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: We all went through a phase where we wanted to
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: be Harriet the Spy and I.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Was like that was talk about.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: I was like, that is me.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: And I would just like I was a snoop Like
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: as a kid, I was just like look through everything,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: want to find out everything. I was obsessed with, like
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: you know, movies like Now and Then where they would
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: try and solve a big mystery.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: And I also was a kid.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: That I hated other kids, like I just wanted to
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: hang out with my mom and her friends. Like I
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: just wanted to be forty seven smoking a Marlboro light,
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: having a gorgeous glass of fucking Sonseer, you know. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I really was like is that so much to ask?
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Like that's all that I wanted.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Language Yeah, I mean Rose famously hates wine. But aside
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: from that, Rose was born of forty seven Marlborough smoking.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up in Boca Raton, Florida, Like
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, I was old before I was young.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, my my mom's friends would joke that I
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: was their age trapped.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: In a little tiny body.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: And that's like a really good quality to have. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: think that, like, I think that speaks to your character
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: now I think was it? I think cap er Lant
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: was also like one of these kids who are just
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: like she only hung out with an adults. Were you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: an only child?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I was not.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: I have two older siblings, but when I was my
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: both my siblings were out of the house by the
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: time I was oh.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Ten, by the time I was nine nine.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: Time you were only child? Adjacent? Yeah, I was only
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: only child passing?
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I in my mind I was the only child.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of like what I envied from other kids
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: like U in school was usually something to do with
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: like trends at the time, like crazy bones, Pokemon cards.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Crazy bones. Oh my god, I forgot about crazy bones.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Like crazy bones were banned at my school because kids
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: were too intense about trading and playing with them.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Did y'all were lame? I was like suffocating myself so
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: that you would pass out and like get you get high?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that, yes, choke yourself or when you go.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: You pant and you'd like be on all fours panting
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: until you pass out exactly.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: So it was that, and then it was those crushed
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: velvet textbook covers, those.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Oh those are gorgeous, the stretchy, the stretchy like ones
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that you could like roll up into a little ball.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, Greta. Something I'm wondering is were
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you the kind of girl who when you had a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: crush on someone, did you take your gelpen and write
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: missus TKTK I or mix. I don't know mix.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think I ever.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I'm sure at.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Some point I doodled someone else's last name. I think
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: I was mostly concerned about what my autograph would be.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: That was mostly what I was thinking.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: I was like, I was figuring out what my autograph
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: would be.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: And do you remember in.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Like US Weekly's or people when they would have like
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: a handwriting expert that could tell you what people's autographs
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: like said about their personalities.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: I used to know.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: But what a what a stupid fake thing that I
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: absolutely would have consumed.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I loved them.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, like Brad Pitt's signature
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: says that he's sensitive but also.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: A little shy and like whatever.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: And I just remember signing my name over and over
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: and over again, thinking like one day, when my autograph
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: gets you know, deciphered by and handwriting expert what are
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: they going to think about me? So I was mostly
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: obsessed with doing that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: So I didn't care about my signature when I was
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: a young, a young thing. But one thing I did
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: perfect was my mom's signature so that I could use
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: her credit card yep, and so that I could sign
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: permission slips yep, like disciplinary notices. I remember one time actually,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I like got a note sent home because I was
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: doing bad in some class, and I forged my mom's
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: signature on it. And then one day I was at
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: school and I got called down to like a guidance
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: counselor office, and both my parents were sitting in the room,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and I was gooped because I discovered that I had
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: forged my mom's signature.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: How did they discover that? Did they call?
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: They had to have called her, I think they called.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: And the thing with my mom was like she had
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to pretend like she was upset about it. But my
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: mom many times was like, just sign it. I don't
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: have time for that, Like it absolutely is something that
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: she would have preferred me to do for the convenience,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: but she had to, you know, pretend that she was
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: upset about it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: I also was obsessed with forging everyone's signature. I could
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: do my mom's perfectly, I could do my sisters perfectly.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I also did the same thing I would get I
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: was queen of getting disciplined disciplinary letters in the mail.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: I would always intercept them. But yes, oh my god,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I was like the mail, honey. The only reason why
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: the mailman came to my house was for my disciplinary
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: fucking letters. And I would forge my mom's signature all
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: the time. And similarly to your mom, my mom was
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: just like, yeah, I don't have time for this, just
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: like fucking sign it like whatever. I can still do
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: her signature to this day, and it's useless now because
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: she's dead, honey, So I ain't got no use for it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: Did y'all?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Did any of y'all have like a coveted field trip
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: like every year? I'll start with mine. We had this
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: thing called it was called like Reading Millionaires or the
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: million Words Club or something, and it was like if
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: you could read one million words in a school year,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: which was we would have to like log all the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: books we read and calculate an estimated average of how
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: many words were in the book based on like simple
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: math of like of the pages. And if we did
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: get to the you know, million words club. We got
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to go to six Flags?
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Wow did you get did you read a million words?
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: No? But I don't think to six flags like, No,
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: It's easier than you think. I mean, it's a I mean,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: a million is really not that much.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: I think it's not.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: That's not true.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: It really isn't that much.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: No, it's I remember hearing something like it would take
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: you thirty years to count to a million.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Well wait, let me see something. I'm going to google
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: how many.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: Words in a book, because.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: You know, these bitches will know how many words are
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: in the Bible.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: Okay, seven hundred thousand?
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: It's oh really?
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: I here it says one hundred and eighty one thousand,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty three words are in the Bible.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's the New testamenty.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: So you need to read the Bible ten times to
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: hit a million?
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Who the Bible ten times?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Less than ten?
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: Probably I'm reading that.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: The Bible's seven hundred. I'm reading that the Bible is
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand words.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: That's Christian propaganda, Yeah it is, it is.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: What about y'all field trips Okay.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: We like when I was in the fifth grade, my
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: class went online like an outdoor adventure like.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Camping trip. I guess where we'd go.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: And I grew up in DC, and we'd go to
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: this camp in Maryland and it was like on the Chesapeake.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: And there were a few things that come to mind.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: First of all, I was not an outdoors girl. That
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: was not my vibe. I was like I wanted to
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: be in. I was an indoor kid, okay. I wanted
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: to be specifically in like my mother's closet and or
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: like I don't know, just not doing outdoor stuff.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't like dirt. That wasn't me.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: So here I was, and I was ill equipped, not
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: in the right clothes, like I was wearing my cute
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: little like gap puffers, and all these kids are in
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: like Columbia, like Patagonia, you know, a REI like the
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: real brands. Serving Cunt, Yeah, serving Cunt, one might say.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: The first thing that I remember is we went on
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: like a little hike down to where the Chesapeake was
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: on the bay, and something must have happened because it
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: was filled.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: In my kid mind, it was.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Filled with dead fish. Every single fish. It was like
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: washed ashore completely dead. It was like something from a
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: horror movie, like birds picking it over.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Naturally.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: I was terrified because I was like yeh, like ah, like,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be near these dead fucking fish.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: This is gross. I'm not having fun. I don't want
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: a mountain bike. I'm cold, and the boy that I
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: have a crush on is not giving me literally any
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: attention because I just was not into it. So that
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: was number one. The number two. All of our meals
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: we like cooked like campfire vibes, so you know, you
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: take foil and you put whatever the fuck in there,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: like potatoes and corn and whatever shit. And I remember
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: eating this meal and the potatoes were my potatoes were
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: hard because it was impatient and I didn't wait long enough.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: And then the worst part of this entire trip was
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: I got diarrhea.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: So got diarrhea. I had to dig.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: You know, you have to dig that six inch hole.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Now I don't know what six inches is, honey, Okay,
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I really don't. So I have to go into the
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: woods with a little fucking shovel, dig dig dig. I
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: probably dug like maybe an inch, like I don't even know.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Shit overflowing from this hole in the ground. And then
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: this other kid who was in my class also I think,
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: had to go and ship his pants. He was like
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: jetting in the woods and we like two, like two
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: wild animals. We locked eyes, Me squatting, shitting, ship falling
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: out of my house.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Into a shallow you know, like grave.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Radean and then William hide from Baird, God bless him.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: He looked at me and like, I think saw the
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: ship drop and kept on his journey.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Wow, and now you're like bonded forever. You you that's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: your husband, and.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: How legally had to get married. And that's how I
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: met Abe. That's how we met. He saw the ship
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: fly out of my hole when I was in the
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: fifth grade, and that was it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: It was just true love.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: It was so traumatic.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: I felt so sick, and I just remember like waking
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: up the next morning being like, please God, I cannot
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: get out of here fast enough. I don't want to zipline.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: I don't want to like do whatever the fuck. I
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: just want to get on the bus and go home.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: I hated it.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I we had boy Scout camp, and I similarly hated
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: all things nature. Hated shitting in a hole, hated waking
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: up wet or tired or dry or rose any field
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: trip trauma. I'm sure there is that you all that
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: you've repressed since that.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I do remember once going on this like
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: science themed kayaking trip. I was also not really I
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: was an indoor kid, you know. I loved reading and
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: theater and blah blah blah. But I did go on
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: this kayaking trip, I think just because I really liked science.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And I fell out of a kayak at some point
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: and that was not great. But then something. This wasn't
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: like a travel field trip, but we did used to
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: go on an annual field trip to a local science museum,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: and for some reason, we always dissected things there, Like
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: we never really dissected stuff in school. It was only
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: on these trips. And one time we dissected baby sharks
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: and learned in doing that that sharks pee through their skin.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: So when we cut the sharks open, piss flooded out.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my godness, for me when I died, I hope
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: they kept me open and pissed just live everywhere.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: I will do you one better. We had this.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: So I grew up in the suburbs of Illinois, as
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: we know, the Midwest or a lot of just like
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: middle of the country schools systems have no infrastructure on
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: teaching kids how to have sex or any sort of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: sex education in any way. Our like health classes were
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: not equipped to actually do sex talk stuff. And even
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: though they like abstinence was widely taught. And so there
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: was this science museum called the Robert Crown Center that
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: was in the kind of Chicago Tri State area that
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: high schools in the entire Tristate area would shuttle kids
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: as soon as they turned as soon as they get
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: to fifth grade, these kids would be shuttled in mass
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: to the Robbert Crown Center so that an expert at
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: this museum would give them the sex talk. And we
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: were there like watching like the Miracle Love Life and
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: look at looking at these like baby models. And I,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: at the ripe age of fifth grade, learned that sex
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: happens when you put a penis in a vagina.
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: That's really yes, can you? But I was so sheltered.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: All I knew was that there's naked likeness and like rubbing,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Like I knew that it's like two naked bodies, But
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I my brain never at any point.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Put together that the Pope goes into the JJ.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like my sex education came from me watching
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: like movies that I shouldn't have been watching.
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: Like can you think of about movies.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Like specifically Jerry McGuire. My mom was like obsessed with
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: Jerry maguire and it is a great movie. But I
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: just remember when when Tom Cruise is fucking Kelly. Why
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: am I blinking on her last name?
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: Uh uh?
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Ke Kelly Preston? May she rest your niece?
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Is that her name? Kelly Preston?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: Who was married to John Travolta. Yes, Tom Cruise is
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: fucking Kelly Preston. They're standing. They're fucking like in her library,
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: in her house, and she's like a business woman who's
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: like not fucking around, and like while they're having sex,
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: she's like, Jerry, you need to listen to me, like you, Jerry,
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Like while they're having sex, and then they finish having sex,
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: and then they eat this like gorgeous bowl of strawberry
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: and in my mind, I was like, that is sex,
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: Like that, well, it is everything.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: That's why he keeps strawberries in my fridge at all times.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: You're a big man, Jerry, Yeah, and like like standing
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: like just bouncing like Jerry.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, dry, I don't even know the plot of Jerry Maguire.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: It's not a sports agent.
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: That's all you need to say.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bros, So I discovered what sex was in a
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: way that I think a lot of kids do, which
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: was I was out of sleepover at my friend's house
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: and we walked in on his mom.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: No, that is so mortifying, and also like for them, well,
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Went did you go home?
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Did you tell your parents? I saw mister and missus
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Fuck fucking.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: No. But his mom was very embarrassed and made us pancakes.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: And then this boy and I was my best friend.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: We decided to copy.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: Them after pancakes.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: After pancakes.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, were you guys horny kids?
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: I was as well.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: And this comes back to gel pens, because my horniness
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: would manifest trenifest in like really really horny drawing really
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of like Pokemon trainers and like Greek mythology, like gods.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: So that's why we send each other so much Disney porn.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, No, okay, Greta, you have to know like Rose
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: and I are, like, you know, I wouldn't say like

  Speaker 1: active consumers of like tune.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: Porn but we do. I would say it that we are.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Do you do you like?
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: Do you you whack it to tuon porn? Or are
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: you just admirers of the art I have?
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: I I have it.

  Speaker 1: I don't regularly whack to tone porn, but I I
• 53:10

• 53:11
  Speaker 6: But I definitely have pulled.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: My patch yes to some to some like Hercules Milo
• 53:16

• 53:38
  Speaker 3: I watched porn last night.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: My like, my relationship with porn is very I'm very
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: in and out.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm like, I really want to watch porn, and
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: then other times I'm like, you know, is it ethical?
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: And that's kind.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Of like sort of the battle that I've always in
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: with myself and I really only like to watch one
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: very specific type of porn, which is typically like a
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: girl being dumbed ideally by another girl. If if I
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: if it has to be with a man, fine, but
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: like I just want there. I want it to be
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: with toys, and I want it to be dirty talk.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: I don't need anything else, and not even dirty talk.
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: I just want it to be like someone needs to
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: be Like did I say you could come?
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Not yet?
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: Like don't, don't. Don't you think about it? Don't think
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: about coming yet, like you know, and it's so hard
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: to find. It's so hard to find.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Important question. Do you need the setup? Do you need
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: a storyline? Do you need your narrative? H Greta, you
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: are my girl.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: No, honestly, rip the panties off, let me see the puss,
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: blast it off with a goddamn fucking hitachi and let's
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: be done. Like I need. I literally need under two minutes,
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: that's what I need. I want it to be in
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: and out. I'm not trying to lounge you, but I
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: don't have time. I'm trying to release and get on
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: with my day. I'm trying to relax. I'm trying to
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: do whatever I'm trying to do. And you know, last
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: night I thought I found a good, a good little clip,
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: but then it turned into this like weird setup where
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: a girl was like tied up against the banister of
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: the stairs, and then a guy just.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Kept on putting his dick through like the nuts through
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: the stairs.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: That's so funny.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: I kept on like making her. He was like face
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: fucking her through the banister, and I was kind of laughing,
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: and I was like, this is so not horny at all.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, I'm get I'm just having fun at
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: this point, and was.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Gigglingesty, that does sound fun with porn like that, I
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: feel like I love this discussion on porn. I feel
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: like with porn like that that I also get very
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: distracted on like little details in porn. And I don't watch,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: you know, heterosexual porn, so I don't know what the
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: tea is over.
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: There, but I I do feel like, not great, it's
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: not great.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: No, it's not great.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Well that's why you look for, you know, two women
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: fucking or like I feel like gay porn.
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I feel like everyone everyone you know
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: loves gay porn.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: I love gay porn. I love watching to be honest,
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: with you. I love watching gay porn. I can't really
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: whack it to gay porn for me as much because
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: I need.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: To because you don't respect them, because because.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: I don't respect you know, I don't respect gays.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's kind of I think that's fair.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Do you like, since we're talking about pens, do you
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: like erotica possibly potentially written with a gel pen? Have
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: you ever have you ever read the seminal work Uncle
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Ronnie's New Whore.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: Shut No, I must it's.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: You know, talk about this.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: We're not going to talk about it again on the podcast, but.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Hold on, is it real erotica? Because I'm actually I think.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: I would be the kind of person that we get
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: really horny for erotica.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think erotica is a very gen
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: term for it. It's it's written porn.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: It's called Uncle Ronnie's New Horror Gay Incest Porn.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: I love written gay incesto.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, unfortunately new horn love incest porn. I hate
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: to say it, but with the okay on the topic
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: of this, of this Dix through staircase rails, et cetera.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: What you're describing, honestly, is something of a thematic quandary
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: of porn, which is porn actors making choices. You're an actress,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: you understand this.
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: That is it.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: They're making a choice to be like I'm gonna do
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: oh maybe I'll do it through this ban this like
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: railing or whatever. And this is like an interesting thing.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: It's like no, it's it's not like what I was.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I saw this like this only fans porn, Like a
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago, where in these two gay guys for
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: some reason or another post it up too fuck next
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: to a like life size cutout of Mariah Carey that
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: was in this person's bedroom, and.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: It is pride.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: They were trying to make. They were trying to go viral.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: They were trying to make a meme. But they're not
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: trying to be sexy. If you watch the porn, it's
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: extremely earnest. I mean I didn't see the setup, so
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: I don't I only saw the two minute clips, so
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: How they go, like making love?
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Did I reference Mariah? Like are they well?
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: The tweet that it circulated on did have a Mariah
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: lyric in it. But if you watch the porn, because
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how they got that's the thing. I
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how they got there, and so I don't
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: really want the narrative. But in this case, I was like, actually,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: do want to know how you got there and why?
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Because it was because they were like it was I mean,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: just like if I didn't see the Mariah cut out,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: it would be really really hot porn.
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: But I was like, why is this here? And you're
• 58:50
  Speaker 6: so earn.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Mariah's scrolling on Twitter since season like, now why am
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I in it? Now?
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: Why am I in it?
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: Mariah gets pissed that she's not more that she doesn't
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: have more of a story.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Honestly, similarly ones, I'm also like a very I
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: love like verbal porn and so like I you know,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I'm always watching porn with the sound on.
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: That's not the case with a lot of people.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I know people that prefer to watch porn the sound off,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: which is crazy to me. But one time I was
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: watching porn and there were these two guys fucking and
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: like the soundtracks that people pick sometimes for like sex
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: music is like so distracting. It's like the most KD
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: out like EDM, like whatever blasting. One time I was
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: watching this porn and I was like, why are they
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: why is this guy getting railed to Judy Collins cover
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: of both Sides?
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: Now, like what is happen?
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Like because they're happening because they're gay, but bothcause now gay.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: It's like that's like lesbian divorce music. Like that is
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: like not even gay music.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: By the way, there have been moments where I've been
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: watching porn and I've shazamed.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Porn. I'm not kidding you. I did it with that song.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: It's like soft house.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: It's like sits it.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to send it to us. That's very you,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Kamala meme. Can you turn this off? Can you turn
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: this up?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I I it's sometimes distracting, but I love the I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: love choices, and sometimes choices get you there, like I
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: like you like. I often will just do like too,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: like I want a two minute clip and then I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: gotta get on with my day. But sometimes and Rose,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this, sometimes.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 6: The search for the perfect clip.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, if it's not hour, if it's not the right,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: if it's not the right thing that I need to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: get me there, I'm sorry. Everything else gets set aside.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: I have plans canceled, I have dinner reservation, move it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: I have a podcast to record. We're gonna have to reschedule.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: I have to go through sixty nine pages of porn
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Hub to find the right thing to jerk off to.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: You know, you know it's dark when you're on like
• 1:01:07

• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: Like I thought I found something the other day and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: then it turned out to be this like elaborate, like
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: massage fisting thing, and I was like, I don't want
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: to see fisting personally, I don't.

• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: storyline on this show of like that there's never enough
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: food at the It is funny, it's a good it's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: a good housewives bit, and it's also like.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Me, yea, if a party doesn't have food, go fuck yourself.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: She's like, let's go to Nobu.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: Yes, that was a.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Serve that I thought that was so funny. And Erin's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: like being very unfun I mean I would if I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: was Aaron, I would be really really pissed obviously.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: But I don't.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not team Aaron. I think that she is probably
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: my least favorite in the entire no, but.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Erin is very necessary because she, unlike Sigh, she drives
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: the platform.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: She does.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: She is the one who's having the events. She's the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: one who's starting shit with people and having issues with people.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: And you can be a bad person, but a good
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: housewife and actually the worst of a person you are
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: the better of a housewife.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: You usually are something speaking of Aaron, something that I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: wrote down, and this is very bad housewive good housewive dichotomy.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Erin is a little Kelly Bensimone coded to me. She's
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: way smarter than Kelly, which is why it's different like Kelly.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: It's like she's not as delusional as Kelly. Well, Kelly
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't even delusional. She just literally had no no. But
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: the thing is, in order to be delusional, you have
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: to have like aspirations, motives, incentives, values. She had no thoughts, feelings,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: believes and motives of values. She literally was just reacting
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: to things with an empty head in real time.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: She was so stupid.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: She was and is.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: But Aaron gives Aaron provides a similar archetype. This like
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: kind of like I'm driving the plot forward. I don't
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: really know why, but I'm gonna do it anyways, and
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: now everyone hates me like everyone hated Kelly Bensimone.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Aarin does lack a little bit of
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: self awareness that probably comes from, you know, a lifetime
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: of privilege. But she's very confident and because of that,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: you know, she is making things happen, and that is
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: kind of the most important. The most important things you
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: can do as a housewive are either create the plot
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: in a really engaging way or react in a really
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: engaging way. And the worst thing you can do is
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: neither of those things. Is just sort of be there.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: I guess in some.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Way, Kelly is maybe more of a reactor. But yeah, wait,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: something that we didn't talk about was Jessel basically suggesting
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: that Jenna lyons creative direct the ending of her two
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: year dry spell.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Well I missed that.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 6: At the wedding, Jessel.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: So, Jenna was telling the girls that she just got
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: broken up with or rather they just broke up and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: life happens, andah blah blah blah. She's not revealing too much,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: but they have like a little moment, and I think
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Sy has this momentre it's like, oh my god, Jenna's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: like finally being like vulnerable or whatever, and Jessel's a
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: part of this moment. And they're talking and as Jenna's
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: trying to like describe like the breakup or just like
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: she's having a literally like emotionally describing something about the breakup,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Jessel interrupts her and goes do you want to have a
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: threesome with me and my husband?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like a way to solve their problems.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Her husband hates her, they hate each other, and the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: fact that they don't fuck concerns me. To me, it's like,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: I don't even think that the husband. For a while,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: it was like or like, for a minute, I was like,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: the husband's gay, clearly.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 6: But I don't even think he's gay.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: I think that he legitimately wants to like please and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: support her, and I think that she has some.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: I can see.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: I feel like maybe I'm projecting cultural religious trauma.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: That's like underneath a lot of her insecurities around IVF sex,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: being a good wife performing. I feel like I had
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of shame around sex because of my parents
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: and their beliefs on me. And I think that if
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: her parents' beliefs had such an impact on her opinions
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: on IVF and how she had to conceal that for years,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if there was something else going
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: on in her sex life or.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you know what I actually think it
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: might be is he loves her. She hates him because
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: their story is that they were friends for years and
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: then got and then just like got together and had
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: these kids. And she, from the looks of it, she
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: runs their life. And I bet he is like a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: full cook, you know, like she just like owns him.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's literally gonna force force him to have
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: a third child, like forcible impregnation.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: And then their marriage is gonna fall apart. Their marriage,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: it's well, it's will be her season two plotline, you think, absolutely.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, I hope we get it that soon because I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: can't wait another season.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe season maybe season three. No, like season two, it'll
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: be really brewing in the background, and maybe, like as
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: the second season of this new iteration of Ronnie is airing,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: it'll start falling apart publicly, and then we won't get
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: it on camera until season three.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, they will plan their divorce exactly when
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: they're not filming. Well, that was quite a recap, that was,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I feel like Ronnie has not really been
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: worth recapping until now.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it is. But this this also is the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: mid season point, so yeah, well, so it's good that
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: we checked in, and maybe the next time we'll check
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: in is at the end of the season, like before
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: the reunion episodes, and then we'll do like post reunion
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: check in work, full wrap up,
