• 0:03
  Speaker 1: was not feeling well. Uh, and this month Matt is

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we will both be well right as rain, Right as rain.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just hoping you don't. You don't in a one
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: month's time get me sick again. Yeah, it's weird how
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it's on this delay. You'd think, you know, living together,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we would get each other's illnesses immediately.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But that's not how this has happened, is Yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and this show only releases once a month, so we
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: know it's been a month. Uh huh is that strange?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: My god? Have we been thinking each other's getting each
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: other sick? When really the world's the problem.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: The world's always the problem. We should have known, we

  Speaker 2: a bit scrambled on account of like cold and flu medicine.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I got a bit of a sore throat, and I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: hope it doesn't sound too terrible or do it. Do
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it sound like when people are sick and it's a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: bit sexier not?

  Speaker 2: have stand up comedian Casey Fras and improviser and Tune
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Titan musical improviser Julia Bosi.

  Speaker 1: They are so funny and they're just so fun to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be around. People at the Peak Improv Theater know them
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: because they are regularly doing shows there. But I'm so
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: excited for people who listen to Gateleapers to get to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hear the hilariousness that is them.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I find them so funny. I'm so thrilled
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they said yes because they're just two of the funniest
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: people in the city. And they said yes to appearing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on our panel for a Star Wars episode in twenty
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: twenty five. So good luck to them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And you know who else needs some good luck us
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: because no one has sent in anything for the mail
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bag this week.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Ah, this month, this month. That makes it worse. That
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: makes it worse.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: God. As a result, though, I have taken a look
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: at our patreon. Oh nice, and there's a few comments
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on the Patreon that I wanted to share because they
• 5:52

• 6:29
  Speaker 1: as well. You can find a talking about a thing

• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that's what we're doing. That's what Drew and Jason are

  Speaker 2: doing every month with press Play. If you've not started
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: listening to them yet, because you're like, oh, I'll wait
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: for a few episodes to pile up and then i'll
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: binge them. I think now's a good time to catch
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: up on those press Play episodes. Yeah, get in early,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: get in early.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get in on the ground floor at this great opportunity.

  Speaker 1: Worth it for this podcast. Worth it. Kristen also complimented
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Jason and my stand up sets.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I posted both Audra and Jason's first stand
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: up sets onto the Patreon. I don't think you'll find
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: better first time stand up sets. It's it's wild. They're
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: both so good.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I've read a couple of books on stand up comedy,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and they said that the worst thing that you can
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: do is have a good first set. And in that case,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Jason and I have both royally fucked up because they went, well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Are you doing an open mike tomorrow night?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You're doing an open mic tomorrow night? Absolutely past will
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: see how it goes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, it'll be It'll be amazing. I mean, it might
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not be as good as an incredibly friendly and supportive
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: comedy theater.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There's no way it will be. But I need to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be put in a different comfort zone. It's it's not
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: shark tank, shark tank, lions Den, lions Den. Yes, thrown
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to the wolves.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the phrase we got there, get in there
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of scary animals.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: God, wolves are so cute. I'm so glad that they're
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: nowhere near me because I God, i'd want to pet it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Danger pet.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, such a risky babe. We also got a comment
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: from William m on the Twin Peaks Pandemonium that we
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: ended with twin points.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That's brilliant. It was one of our tie episodes.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I love I love a thematic tie. Yes, and twin
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: points absolutely made it into a thematic tie.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: A little bit disappointed on our panel for no one's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: saying that at the time, but thank you William M
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: for saying that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'll be keeping an eye out more in the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: future for fun jokes relating to the points at the end.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have inspired me. Yeah, see, you're funnier than
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: our panel.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: No, don't tell me.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah sorry. Confidence for the open.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Mind and Justin Dodberg, says Justin Dodberg himself, the Legend says,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I am loving these Matt versus Odra segments. Me too.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I was loving them the first month, but
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I'm currently down a point. It's two one to order overall,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: so I'm loving them less.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So Justin is going to be in agreement with whichever
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: one of us is winning the most of them.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, so at least one of us will always be
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: agreeing with Justin as it should be.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you all for commenting on our patreon
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and for just being on there with us.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really awesome. As you know, the Patreon is
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a better place to be because then no ads.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: No ads, no ads, And honestly, since they're smart ads,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's both the thing of being marketed at and being like,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I know what you'd like.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's a.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Weird mirror up to yourself in a way that I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: don't want. No, just come over to the.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Patreon where the only mirror will hold up to you
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is one of those wacky mirrors that changes the shape.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Of you in like a really fun but like ooh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we yeah, do I hate this? Do I love it?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It does make me laugh?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: That's most of our reviews.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm never coming up with a new name for this
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: next segment of the lily Pad of Irrelevancy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I don't believe we haven't topped it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think even if there is something that technically
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is better, it isn't to me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Gateleapers at gmail dot com send in
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: your muses for order to read out. But also, is
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: there a better name for this segment than the lily
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: than the lily Pad of irrelevancy.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: There's so few things that are like hosting duties that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I can read better than you because you have so
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: much practice, But lily Pad of irrelevancy.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I can barely say it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Ooh rolls off the tongue for me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And with a cold, it's just like.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Oh you sound like a little frog.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Well it's perfect, that's thematic. See the branding makes sense.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It does. So what do you have for us on
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the lily pad of irrelevancy?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Well, this month on the lily Pad of irrelevancy, I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: can say it. We'll look back at the last two
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Fandemonium episodes that I wrote and that we recorded, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that we performed and that you listened to. So first up,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to go back a few weeks to the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Dangan Rompa episode Dang what a ramp ah yep. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: mad some attempt at that joke during the record and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it went just as well. I think yours was better. Yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that was such a blast. Thank you once again to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the Ultra Hope girls and of course to Aaron Randolph
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: for being part of that fantastic line up. Such a
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: fun episode. I didn't really have anything else to do
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: with Dangan Rompat specifically kind of. It was a crash
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: course for me in two weeks learning everything about it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Oh there's a lot, and it all went into the episode,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: everything that I did learn. But we did play a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: very fun game of fan fickle in that one.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I love our games, including fan fiction because it's such
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a fun area of most fandoms. Yeah, where you can
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: just play in that space where there's some really really
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: good stuff and there's some very peculiar stuff.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure, such strange stuff as we saw with
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the extracts in that episode, real genuine fan.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Fix Uh huh, ball Monacuma.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Ball Monicicuma, crush me under your ball? What singular yep,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: because he's all one big ball. I guess. Guess What
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a beautiful space, What a fantastic area of the internet. Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: so it was the fanfic that was the highlight for me.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: We could probably do an hour on the history of
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: fan fiction if that's what I'm inspired by, but I don't.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: We don't have the time. Who wants to hear that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I do?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But I understand, I understand exactly.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: So look, we'll touch on some modern origins a little bit,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: like a tiny, little fun pop culture history thing, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: then I'll just define a bunch of fan fiction terms. Well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: because that's a bit more snappy.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is good.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So odrum. My question for you is guess which fandom
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: popularized fanfic as we know it today.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I think I know this, Okay, I don't know how
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I know this, Yes, I do the Internet. I've been
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in spaces on the Internet. I think it was Star Trek.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It was Star Trek. Yeah, you've been in spaces and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you've been in space.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Took the enterprise, Yeah, very into all
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: areas of the fanfic universe. I was sure there was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: other words that I could drop from that opening words. No,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I don't remember them.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You said universe. That was probably a word in there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Score.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fanfic as we know it now, where it's like fans.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is going to sound like a really
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: simplistic breakdown, but fans writing fiction.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's what that stands for.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just in case you know. Yeah, So, fanfic as
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: we know it was popularized and defined by the Star
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Trek fandom and its fanzines ooh yeah, published throughout the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: sixties and seventies.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I've been thinking about zines lately.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Every generation thinks about zines.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: The amount of like little zines I made as a child,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: as like craft.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Projects, same oh, bring it back, bring it, bring it back.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: These are these fanzines. They were mostly like just diy,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: like produced at home, like screen printing that kind of thing.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say printing press, but the modern
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: version of a printing press.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: What was the Bible but Utenberg's zine.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: That is a very good history joke.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I have an open mic tonight.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: They were produced at home by fans and essentially mailed
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: to other fans where like mailing lists would be collected
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: at like sci fi conventions, where also the zines would
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: be distributed, and usually it was just like a small
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: cost to cover the production. No one really looked to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: profit from these scenes. Kind of like how podcasts are
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in the fan space today. I would say, like most
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: fan podcasts that I know, unless they're backed up by
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: some huge media conglomerate, are kind of just looking to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: break even to keep the thing aflow and provide the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: fan service of community. A beautiful thing, A beautiful thing.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And unlike other aspects of fandom, women women.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Women what unlike other aspects of fandom.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Women women, that pretty much applies to most fandoms. Yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: women with the primary authors of fan fiction. And it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: gone a little more balanced in the Internet age. But
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: back for the Star Trek fan fiction in nineteen seventy
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: eighty three, percent of Star Trek fan fiction authors were female,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and it was ninety percent by seventy three. A utopia,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah. The prevailing academic theory is that fan
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: fiction is popular with women because the language of film
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and TV is still entrenched in the male gaze in
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: ways that you don't even think about. Women do to
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: get the you don't even think, you don't think about,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: so to get the kinds of stories and character development
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and themes that you want from the same characters, it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: much easier to write fanfic than try to enter an
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: industry that already isn't very friendly towards you to begin with,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: especially in the sixties and seventies. Mm hmm.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And when you can be a part of those communities,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: those fan communities with it like building other people up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in these spaces. Yeah, absolutely would.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: You would you so would so. If you think back
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to our Dangan Rumpa episode the do you remember Dangan
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Rumper six nine the thick with Luigi?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, yes, oh yes I do? How could I forget?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: In that episode I mentioned that that particular thick is
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: known as a crack thick. Yes, do you know what
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a crackfick is?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there is a better description of this, but sure,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: uh crazy for crazy's sake?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much exactly that. They're intentionally comedic, ridiculous and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: universe breaking fix They purposefully play in the realm of
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: non canon. They're often the result of like a challenge
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: made from one Thick writer to another, of like, oh,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: wouldn't it be funny if Luigi was in Dangan Romper
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and maybe throw a Peka Chew and Beter Griffin in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: there as well. And the name crack Thick it literally
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: comes from people posting on forums that, look, you must
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: have been on crack when you wrote this. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: are you high on crack? What's par Rappa the rapper
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: doing here?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: What's happening? You must be doing a drug?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Have you been snorting crack? Why is Spiro at Hogwarts
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: because he wants to be He can fly, he is
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: a dragon. Let him Hagrid would take good care of him,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: he would. Another type of VIC that we regularly mention
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: on the podcast is slash fiction slashvic. Yes, are you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: familiar with slashviik ouldra Oh.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Of course I am, of course I'm familiar.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: For the benefit of our listeners who may not be
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: so educated. Would you like to give a quick definition
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: of slash fiction.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: My understanding from my adventures on the internet is the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: name of a character slash another character, and they are
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: typically romantic entanglements. Yes, we're included within the fiction.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Pretty much that, but with the extra layer of their
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: pretty much always same sex characters in these relationships. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: think it's just known as like shipping when it's sort
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: of like characters that have hegemonically been presented as a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: heterosexual couple and therefore they're together on screen anyway.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: M Oh, yeah, that could happen yea within the heteronormative
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: space that this.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Is exactly like all I can think of is lost,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: but it would be like Jack x Kate or Kate
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: x Sayer, whereas we're looking more at Kirk slash Spock,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: which was the original slash fik and where the name
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: originates from. Ah And similar to why women are often
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: fanfic authors and especially historically, slash fiction is also a
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: way to explore your favorite world, but through a queer
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: lens instead of that previously mentioned hegemonic something that most
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: people don't even think about, but it can mean a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: lot in terms of being able to access a story
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: is tell of very similar Keep the tone, keep the vibe,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: but switch the lens, switch the perspective. And then the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: final type of thick I'm gonna define is probably the
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: most wholesome kind of fanfic. It's called fluff thick or
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: just fluff. Oh yes, this kind of thick is plot light,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: more like seeing your favorite characters in Slice of life,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: everyday situations with very little drama.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: The fluff that I have read has typically been like
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: found family or like like a wholesome date. Yeah, then
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: they go and they eat ice cream and then everyone
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: has a lovely.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Time, whereas the slash fick would be like they go
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and they eat ass and cream and cream yeah, which
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't be saying that during the fluff.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Thick section because ye, get that out of here.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Is generally free of romantic entanglements, unless it's like a
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: little little soft thing or like companionship maybe. And the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: rise in popularity of the cozy genre, like cozy fiction,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: is very much in line with what has been in
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: fanfic for the last like thirty forty years, and I
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: guess it's because the world is becoming more hectic and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: story wise, we keep on insisting on doing the hero's
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: journey in Western civilization, we keep finding Catharsis with it. Why,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But with that, I get the appeal
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: of fluffick, I get the appeal of cozy fiction.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Of just just a hug. Yeah, like I want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: if you want it or not, if you don't.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Or not if you don't. Yeah, Like you want to
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: escape to a fantasy world, but you don't want the
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: stress and drama of narrative.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Because there's so much all the time.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And if that's what's happening in the real world, do
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you really want that in your fiction?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: If you can't find that calm and that lack of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: things happen and your brain just needs a little bit
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of time, a little respite, a fluff could really do that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go get some fluff, Go get some fluff, Go
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: get fluffed. Yeah, go fluff yourself. And last week's Pandemonium
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: was double O seven James Bond, I'm gonna get you, Bond.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You'll never take the queen.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, mister Bond, I am a fresh slice of s
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: just for you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Hello, mister Bond, I am another fresh slice of ass.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: But I'm secretly a double agent.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: The two genres of women in Bond fiction. Yeah, it
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: was kind of hard to ignore the masculinity of it
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: all when looking at old Bond clips. I'm aware that
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I have a relatively deconstructed approach to things, but because
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: of that, Bond is borderline drag to me at this point.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: A specially those classic films like the Sean Connery The
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Roger More.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: There is such an element of like performative bravado.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's so hyper masculine that it becomes camp.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I was thinking camp, but I'm like, do what, Yeah
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, yeah, I mean, like the swirl of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the drink and the.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Cigar exactly, the Clinton Special. Yeah. It Basically every Bond
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: film has a fast car, of course, hot girl, absolutely,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: suave tucks, indubitably latest gadgets, couldn't do without them, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: a confident drink order, something no man in the history
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: of men has ever been able to do.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Can I get it to Jack and Cope?
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: No, that's fine, No, that's fine if you don't have Jack.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: That's literally everyone who listens to this podcast feels seen.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's basically in every Bond film, it's
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: a list of all the thing that have been marketed
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: towards men for the last seventy years, And there's obviously
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a bit of that involved in the sense that a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: lot of like role X's as like a little gadgety thing,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: or certain types of high end cars often get paired
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: with James Bond movies to like sell to the same
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: kind of audience. It makes sense synergistics or sergistic So
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: that's why a lot of these things that I just
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: listed form the identity of what masculinity is in the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: modern age, at least from a commercial perspective. But to me,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: it's basically a parody at this point. Hence why like
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a Bond coded drag king would be pretty awesome. Oh, like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: there's a lot to play with there, I feel.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Could I pull that off?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Ooh, you'd have to work on your English accent?
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: How would be crucial?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I think I'd have to work on my English accent
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: because I don't think essex essex bond, essex Bond. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna track now love they I love
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Shaken not starred, drink any drink you want a porn
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: star Martine Shaken not stare.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see why they've not done it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bad, it's not good. And with my incredible
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: essex accent, oh if I couldn't pull it off, there's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a reason it doesn't exist.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I see it. But just because these things
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: seem like a bit of a parody at this point,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: almost like I've got a fast car, I got it's
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm a man. If you happen to align with with that,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and that's your like, your presentation of masculinity as an individual,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: that's not a bad thing. You should like what you like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You should be who you want to be, and if
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: that's how your identity lines up, then great. It's the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: branding of our age for a reason, right, like mm hmmm.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: On the right person, masculinity plus fastcar, hot partner, suave TuS,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: newest gadget, and a confident drink order. But I don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: believe they'd be able to achieve that. It's a great
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: luck on the right person. It's a great luck on
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the right person. Chef's kiss chefs, and you know what
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of chefs, it's good on them, uh huh.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And if you do like all of those things to
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the absolute maximum, it does mean you're easily susceptible to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: subliminal social coding. But all that really means is your
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: basic And if basic is the worst thing I'm calling
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you right now, then you must be doing pretty good.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: You must be a pretty great person if that's the
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: worst thing that some goddamn hipster on a podcast is
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: calling you.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and as someone who does like a pumpkin spice latte.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome to the basic world. Welcome to gendered basic.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Birds of a feather, fluff together and you've louffed. Now
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that's about enough. Unity. Oh, we're gonna fluff against one
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: each one another.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Fluff off you, fluff off, Go fluff yourself.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Get the fluff out of here. Fluff you. I'm doing v's.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: You can't see, No, they can't see fluff. Let's play
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a game. You find out who has to fluff.

• 33:14
  Speaker 1: know if like her offering for like me to cook
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: the mule harvest dinner. I don't know if you'd necessarily
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: like offer it to me that willingly. I think she might.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I might have to fight my mom to let me
• 33:29

• 33:32
  Speaker 1: harvest dinner, like just like I just want to like
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: decorate like one pie. And I feel like she might
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: have like a kind of a problem with that, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I can be like, forget you, mom, I can make
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I can make a pumpkin pie just like I mean
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a uh a gourd a gourd pie. I can make
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a gourd pie just as good as you can. I
• 33:52
