I travel and I see black people,

2:34

2:36

each other. It is an emotional high five with

2:38

our eyes. It's like,

2:41

I see you. I see you. I see you as a

2:43

dermatologist every year. It says, okay, go, go, go, go, go,

2:45

go, go. Because it's just like a thing.

2:47

Like, it's a wonderful thing that like, not everybody has

2:49

a comment. Now, do you ever run into when you

2:51

are traveling a nerdy black man with glasses?

2:53

And you're just like, ah. Of course,

2:55

2:58

3:00

another black inventor. You know what I'm saying?

5:24

5:26

don't know what it's called because... Heel toe. Oh,

5:29

are you talking about Jamaican dances? Yeah, yeah,

5:31

that kind of shit. I don't know. I

5:33

don't know the difference. Oh my goodness. We

5:36

don't know much. Did you grow up line

5:38

dancing? You just had to... You were just

5:40

like no feelings. Yeah, yeah. There's

5:42

some of that. There's stiff denim cowboy

5:44

boots. Oh yeah. We had pecos, things

5:46

like that. Pecos West Wing boots. Yeah.

5:49

Was it like Footloose but with black

5:51

people? There

5:55

is the MLK Day rodeo which is a

5:57

beautiful thing. It's a black rodeo

5:59

because we invented But then like, you

6:01

know, I mean, we're like, why do you guys

6:03

get quiet? I don't understand. They're learning. They're taking

6:05

it in. What's happening? Because

6:08

there's like one person from Dallas

6:10

that she's tired of screaming. I know.

6:13

She can't keep screaming every time she drops

6:15

something with them about Texas. Yeah. It's

6:18

wild. It's wild. You'll pick

6:20

it. One in four cowboys back in the day were

6:22

black. The term cowboy comes from the fact

6:24

that boy was a slur for

6:27

black men, so black men working with cows

6:29

were called. Thank you.

6:31

Welcome to my TED Talk. Aww. All right. That

6:34

was so nice. We did it. So yeah.

6:37

That was really nice. Yeah. You really connected

6:39

with everyone. I know. They're

6:41

like, talk about behalf guys. Yeah. and

6:47

repeat that story. Oh, sure. No, it's true.

6:50

No, it's all good. It's all good. I

6:52

love it. I love the little funny. No, I love

6:54

my little Elroy Jetson glasses. No,

6:57

it's any black history. And I love

6:59

his little Texas saying, because I'm like, what

7:01

the fuck is that? We were in a

7:03

meeting one time, and everyone was just

7:05

talking a lot of shit. I didn't know what

7:07

they were saying. It was circles. When people talk in circles,

7:09

they want to hear themselves talk. They never have anything to

7:12

say. I just wait for something that I can hold on

7:14

to. It's like arguing

7:16

with a drunk person. I'm like, where is this going? And

7:18

then Jordan just goes, it feels like everyone's just

7:20

biting around a cookie. And I was like, what?

7:23

I did say that earlier. I

7:26

heard you say it. Yeah. Eating around

7:28

the cookie just means you're not getting to it. You

7:30

know what I'm saying? That's like it. You're all, you

7:32

know, you're all hat and no horse. Like

7:34

you just. No

7:39

shit. I'm like, what is that

7:41

guy? What are we talking about? No, it's just,

7:43

these are just parluses that come to you. Yeah.

7:45

I love that for you. Yeah. What's

7:48

the thing? What's that thing you

7:50

said at that little public school meeting?

7:53

Oh, yeah. I said it. So it was like

7:55

this, this guy was trying to push through a

7:57

curriculum and it was not cool. And so. He

8:00

was like, oh, nobody's going to work for the old curriculum. And

8:02

so I was like, man, you're trying to ride two horses with

8:04

one ass right there. And that's

8:08

one dog that ain't going to hunt. But in

8:11

front of all the teachers. In front of all

8:13

the teachers. And he

8:15

was like, I'm just trying to process what you

8:17

said. I'm like, fuck off.

8:19

You know, like, I feel like

8:21

a southern parlance can really cut

8:23

to the chase. Northern parlenses

8:25

are good. I had

8:27

to learn northern parlenses. Northern parlenses are tough. You

8:29

know, like, it's like, what? You go to a

8:31

deli. Yeah. You make you get your order. Some

8:33

of behind you is like, did you already order?

8:36

And you're like, I'm all set. Well,

8:38

the first time somebody said like, are you all set? I was like, what?

8:42

Like you all said just means I had never heard

8:45

that before. So hearing that. I didn't realize that was

8:47

a thing. Yeah, yeah. We don't say that down south.

8:49

OK. Yeah, yeah. So it's like you all

8:51

said, you know, that that's for me. And

8:53

that's you got you got this. I love

8:56

that. Yeah, I love that one. Yeah. OK.

9:00

You good. Not everybody. You

9:02

could. That's not we don't say that down south.

9:04

That you should. It's very easy. The guns come

9:06

out. Um,

9:09

you good. You good. You good.

9:13

Yeah, absolutely. Never, never. What's

9:16

not saying, Ohio? Y'all say anything to

9:18

each other. It's more to myself. It's

9:20

a lot of the stuff that he's saying, but with less

9:22

horses and cowboy hats. Oh, I've

9:26

been to Ohio, but I don't remember. Yeah,

9:28

it's pretty similar to Texas in its

9:30

parlance. Is it? Yeah,

9:33

because people from Ohio have come from the south. That's

9:35

where they came from. They came from New York. Make

9:39

some noise if you're from West Coast. Oh,

9:44

lots of bitches standing. Make

9:48

some noise if you're from the middle. We're

9:52

in the middle. Iowa.

9:54

Iowa shit. So glad you got out.

9:57

That is like white Wakanda. That is

9:59

where. That's

10:01

where they come from. Oh my

10:05

God. If your car breaks down in

10:07

Iowa, there's no landmark. You

10:09

guys must have been really happy for GPS. Not

10:12

white, Wakanda. I know. You just make a left

10:14

on unpaid road. I'm like, oh, what?

10:16

And the children of the corn is

10:18

going to work right now. It's true.

10:20

Anybody else from the middle? Indiana,

10:24

that's worse. Oh my God. Yeah, that is

10:26

sad. Indiana, worse. You're from the Bronx? No,

10:29

we knew that. Oh, okay. God knew that. We knew that.

10:32

The Bronx always... See that's right.

10:34

See that's right. The Bronx always...

10:36

What? What? 17

10:39

bridges from Canada. It is so crazy. The

10:42

Bronx is always front row and they always

10:44

talk. They're like, yeah, what you said, Mama?

10:46

Okay. You got it. You got it. I

10:49

love it. I love it.

10:51

I love Brooklyn and I love the Bronx. I

10:53

just love a community like... Yes. I

10:56

do. My...

10:58

Sorry. My brother-in-law came to

11:01

visit us... Okay. ...for

11:04

editing purposes. And I

11:06

took him to Dumbo House. Oh.

11:08

Because I was like, you just need to say bougie

11:11

black bullshit, okay? Let's go.

11:14

And he was just like, wow, it's so much...

11:16

And I was like, what? He's like, community. That's

11:18

it. Okay, that's good. It's

11:21

very... What you want to say? It's

11:24

cultural. I've heard that one before. Yeah,

11:26

yeah, yeah. The culture. It's very cultural

11:28

in here, you know. Oh my God.

11:30

These ethnic spices, please shut the fuck

11:33

up today. In

11:35

Dutch? I don't know if you all saw

11:37

my special, but truly, the Dutch word for

11:39

look is keik. No. K-I-J-K.

11:42

It's keik. And so the first time

11:44

I ever heard my mother-in-law named Hanukkah...

11:46

...say this

11:54

word. We were taking a family picture and she's

11:56

like, cut the camera! And

12:00

I was like, Hanukkah, fix it! That's

12:04

a real ad story. And no

12:07

one in Holland has ever fucking heard of this. So

12:09

when I did that joke, it was special. Welcome

12:11

to Butopia, available on Netflix right now. Critics

12:15

Choice Award winning special. It

12:19

made it to like the Dutch late

12:21

night news. Like Danny Shoe and Jimmy...

12:24

Basic white men named Jimmy late night shows. They're

12:29

definitely not editing that out. They

12:31

could know that. They know already. But

12:37

yeah, they were like, oh my goodness, comedian breaks

12:39

up a good point. I'm

12:41

like, you fucking sick! They

12:44

never heard of that. No, because this

12:46

is what happens when you trust men. Right.

12:51

Anyways, you guys ready for more show? Ready

12:53

for more show? Are

12:55

you ready? I'm so excited. She

12:58

is amazing. She is

13:00

a hilarious comedian, also going on tour.

13:03

Check her the fuck out. She also has a

13:05

hilarious part in a very fun show, Survival

13:08

of the Sick. She

13:11

played a kooky fucking roommate named

13:14

Jade. Who

13:16

had a cat named Coquette? Who had a cat

13:18

named Coquette? Go figure. Yes.

13:22

Please give it up for my pretty new

13:24

comedian, Billie Eilish. I'm

13:55

Billie Eilish, and I'm a fan of the coquette.

13:58

I'm a fan of the coquette. absorbs

14:00

the moisture from your hair and

14:02

skin. And with Blissey, you won't

14:04

wake up with wrinkles on your

14:06

face from your pillow or dry

14:08

and flaky skin. Uh-uh, we hate

14:10

that. There are lots of dupes

14:12

out there that claim that satin

14:14

is an alternative to silk, but

14:16

don't be fooled. Satin is made

14:18

from synthetic fibers like polyester, yuck.

14:20

And silk is an all-natural fiber.

14:23

That means silk is more breathable,

14:25

moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic. And unlike other

14:27

silk pillowcases, Blissey pillowcases are machine

14:29

washable. V-v-v-v-you. Now,

14:31

I gotta say, I did get better

14:33

sleep with Blissey, okay? My skin felt

14:35

better. My hair, it was like having

14:37

a do-rag, but what I could sleep

14:39

on, you feel me? It's kinda crazy

14:41

to sleep on silk. I was raised

14:44

thoroughly middle-class, so this was definitely a

14:46

step up. Blissey has a ton

14:48

18:04

A colleague? It's important. I started

18:06

switching my vocabulary because I have

18:08

a friend who always says, oh, that's my friend, and

18:10

then you learn, oh, that's actually not

like, well, I feel weird messaging. I'm like, that's not your friend then. Change

18:28

the category. That's

18:31

a person. You hear that? Everybody change

18:33

your guidance category. Change the category. Turn to your

18:35

18:42

Yeah, totally. Or I like them, but

18:45

18:47

I want, you're not my friend.

18:49

Yeah. You're co-people. Yeah, I

18:51

18:54

many questions, three of them. You answer whichever one you

18:57

want first. Okay. Dating, I

18:59

want to get to it because we try to

19:01

get to dating when we were on the show.

19:03

We were working on my show. We were miked.

19:06

I asked you how

19:08

dating was and what type of person you're dating.

19:10

And you said the most hilarious thing might. I

19:13

don't know if I can't repeat it. What did

19:15

I say? It was about the difference between

19:17

men and women. What did

19:19

I say? I can't wait. Can I tell

19:21

you? Yeah. Are you

19:24

dating women still? And

19:26

you're like, I want to, but I miss

19:28

come too much. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like

19:30

a funny... Yeah, yeah, yeah. But

19:33

the best part is that we're all miked, so I

19:35

see everyone. No. No. No.

19:39

No. It was the best. It was the

19:41

best. I would be

19:43

so good on Real Housewives. I would ruin a

19:46

family. Yeah. It was the best. It was the

19:48

best. I would really hot mic moment. I

19:50

would like to just be dating anyone. I'm really

19:53

like... Stop. I'm stopped. I'm

19:55

stunted. I don't know what to do. Okay.

19:58

You didn't ask... then you

20:00

stopped on the cum question ad and

20:03

gave me not one other option. What

20:06

are the other two? I gotta- The other one was, why does

20:08

it feel like getting cummed on so degrading and I like

20:11

it? Like

20:13

on your body or your face? Okay, it's

20:15

my body, my body, my tits. I have really good

20:17

tits, I have really good tits and it's like a

20:19

waste not to cum on them, I think. Yeah. Yeah.

20:23

These are your words and any

20:25

of you. I agree,

20:27

I 100% agree. Like use it

20:29

as a little vagina too, do whatever you gotta do with

20:31

that. Sometimes it is

20:33

hard for someone to- Aim.

20:39

Aim. Climb the salmon ladder,

20:41

so to speak. Up to someone. The

20:43

salmon? I

20:46

guess you're not that athletic. I'm

20:50

not and that's why my wife

20:52

loves me. But- Aim. It

20:54

was that story. The other one was, are

20:56

you internet dating? What is that like? Is

20:58

that crazy? And the third thing was, the

21:01

last time you did the show was

21:03

like 2017, 18 when we weren't even on podcasts, we

21:05

were just a show in Union Hall. And

21:08

you told this crazy fucking story about

21:10

getting arrested or almost getting arrested. Yeah,

21:12

yeah, yeah. And I was like, have you?

21:15

And so I just wanted to know, has

21:18

there been any run-ins with the law, especially

21:20

in LA, I feel like they like to

21:22

fuck with you. No,

21:24

I've been behaving very well all over

21:26

this country. I

21:28

will fly out of the country

21:31

with maybe drugs, but

21:36

in terms of behaving, I've not had any

21:38

run-ins with the law. Yeah,

21:40

none at all. I've been really behaved. It

21:42

was under the age of 21, which

21:45

I feel doesn't count. You know what I mean?

21:47

Sure. Cause you're

21:49

just drinking being crazy, but if you're underage,

21:51

that's a crime, but it's like, come

21:54

on, you know what I mean? Like I'm gonna

21:56

get drunk at 19 and

21:58

punch through a fire extinguisher glass. like

22:01

I don't know I did I'm more powerful

22:03

than you would think yeah was there

22:07

fire no

22:09

I like

22:11

water for chocolate just so many I just the

22:17

fire within her

22:19

body no it's

22:22

a book it's a story it's always

22:24

about the half-lexus so that nobody understands

22:26

anyways well there's one reader

22:29

in the body it was like two people were from the

22:31

90s it got turned into a movie and then

22:34

it was like I remember once like

22:36

she's having sex and I remember this so well

22:39

it's like I was like have water for or

22:41

whatever chocolate is like let me see this I

22:43

heard there's sex in it you know cuz back

22:45

then you'd have to like search like through the

22:47

desert for sex and and

22:49

so I'm like there's a part like she gets it

22:52

on and it's like she gets wet but it's all

22:54

it's um it's magical realism because it's Mexican so

22:58

yeah it's magical realism and so she's so

23:00

wet she floods

23:06

the entire kitchen and I was like is that

23:08

sex oh my god I don't know if I

23:12

want any part of this so

23:15

that's what she meant yeah you should see the movie yeah they

23:17

also I remember someone in school saying Sophie's

23:19

choice was a bunch of sex and even

23:22

if that like it doesn't

23:24

seem worth it you know but I

23:27

remember that was like the gossip and trickery

23:29

of the playground yeah

23:31

12 years of slave I watched

23:33

it for the music okay well

23:35

I kid you don't know what

23:37

you're getting yourself into you're like yeah

23:39

I'll get it I remember that visit thing

23:41

yeah can I have to hold I'm

23:43

36 I love this a I did you I'm

23:46

excited yeah what are you um

23:50

well I've been repeating the same

23:53

mistakes for about 24 years so so now I think

24:00

I'm finally ready to rid those

24:02

habits. Yeah, that have been serving

24:04

me. I just met

24:06

with a new therapist yesterday

24:08

that she specializes in immigrant

24:10

generational trauma. Oh shit.

24:13

Yeah, so I'm gonna get through my

24:15

weird hoarding and thinking there's a war,

24:17

but there could be soon. But yeah.

24:19

Yeah. So that's what,

24:21

I think there's more excitement moving. I

24:25

have come unique, I've just learned a

24:27

lot and I finally realized that I

24:29

have to nip some of these habits

24:31

and I'm gonna do it with this therapist hopefully.

24:34

Her name's Violet though, which makes me not trust

24:36

her. You know? You

24:40

don't trust me. Violet's

24:42

an immature name. I

24:45

mean, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's

24:48

25:05

good sense about it. She does a lot of squats.

28:53

Yeah. You know, not, yeah.

28:56

Not smoke weed every day all day. I

28:58

think that should be a top, but I

29:00

don't wanna make a goal I'm gonna fail at, so.

29:03

Oh, I managed to take the bill.

29:06

Oh, and I'm going to the Airies Tour November 21st.

29:09

So. I

29:12

like to get an outfit going, an outfit

29:14

going. I love this, okay, we're gonna ask

29:16

some questions from the audience, here we go.

29:19

How do you say no to

29:21

being in someone's bridal party? Well,

29:24

it depends what the reason is, right? Or you have

29:26

to make it up. Because if you don't

29:28

like the person, you don't wanna be their friend, that's different than

29:30

like, hey girl, I can't afford it, or I'm studying for the

29:32

bar. Like, I don't have time,

29:35

it's different than, oh, I

29:37

actually hate you, your family, your friends,

29:39

and I don't wanna be around you, and.

29:41

Oh, it's snitch. It's just different, why don't you

29:44

wanna be in it? You're poor or you hate her?

29:46

I mean, I think. Or maybe there's a third

29:48

reason, I'm not thinking. I think the third reason

29:50

for me. Oh. Would

29:54

be the emotional time commitment. Because

29:56

now you're gonna be someone's therapist for

29:58

that whole fucking ride. They're gonna

30:00

come to you with shit that you don't fucking have time

30:02

for you just want to show up to a party With

30:04

an open bar take some pictures and leave And

30:08

now you got to be in it like

30:10

oh the flowers. Okay, they're petals. Oh the

30:12

chairs everyone's sitting like nobody Really

30:15

gives a fuck inside. I feel like you know Asking

30:18

someone to be in your bridal party is really

30:20

asking them to be your therapist during a

30:22

stressful party They know I

30:24

guess how do you say no? Do you want the

30:26

person in your life still or not? I

30:29

mean obviously if they're close enough to be in

30:31

the bridal party, how do you think no? Hopefully

30:33

the bride is close enough to be like I

30:35

get it, but let's

30:37

not be delusional I Think

30:40

for me. I feel like I can't do this,

30:42

but I'll do this right like

30:44

I read a poem Yeah, like

30:47

I'll do a speech or you could do

30:49

it like it like ushering is good. You

30:51

remember. Oh shit. We need ushers so ushers

30:54

Oh, yeah, that seems like a thing. That's

30:56

in movies. That isn't real. What no no

30:58

I've had a wedding there were there were

31:00

as we stayed on south fursures and You

31:04

needed them you needed them you really did and they

31:06

usually need them yeah Yeah, the people all the people

31:08

in the wedding even because people were like where do

31:10

I go? I've never been in a church before it's

31:12

going people still get married Jesus Christ

31:16

I'm just kidding congratulations. Yeah Um

31:20

okay here we go how early is too early

31:22

to be on prescription acid reflux meds Okay

31:32

I Just

31:34

started suffering from acid reflux, and you know

31:36

what well they say like don't eat and

31:38

then go to bed And it's like okay. Let's be realistic

31:40

with the You're

31:43

not eating Taco Bell in the day I

31:51

Did do something crazy in New York? I bought

31:53

a temp repeating matrix with a base that moves

31:55

so I can oh Russia by And

31:58

I could sleep like this So, um,

32:01

it moved. Luxury. That

32:03

is the most adult thing I've ever heard.

32:07

That's amazing. What the f- dude, the

32:09

f-ing works. Yeah, oh my god. I

32:11

feel like I'll go out like, yeah, after

32:13

a long day of walking out, look up

32:15

my legs. It's really crazy. I want

32:18

one. Oh yeah, the guy told me, he goes, you don't

32:20

have to stack your pillows anymore. I go, you

32:22

got me. I go, you got me, you did

32:24

a good job, bro. Fuck, I have

32:27

so many pillows. But I think

32:29

it's not true. It's like, it sucks, because it

32:31

stops you from drinking, eating it. Like, it stops

32:33

you from joy, and... But I don't

32:35

know what the side effects are. Yeah. You

32:38

know. But I heard like, okay, so,

32:40

you know, people drink coffee, like the caffeine actually

32:42

loosens up the flap above the stomach, which gives

32:44

you acid reflux. That happens. But you can also

32:46

take like, aniseed or like, um, you know, what

32:49

do you call it? Het city. Licorice

32:51

is good after a drink. I hate licorice, but

32:53

I love coffee. Oh, yeah. Fuck. Yeah,

32:56

so, yeah, I mean... Why I can't drink like,

32:58

a margarita is just one sip of fire

33:00

between my titties. Or

33:02

ginger ale, like ginger, something like that, that can help you at

33:04

night. Like, just trying to help you have

33:07

this moment for yourself where you don't get prescription.

33:09

Just take the fucking pill and go have a

33:11

burrito. Like, whatever. It

33:14

just depends on the side effects. It really does.

33:16

What about side effects? You feel insomable? All

33:18

right. Like, would you rather have

33:20

acid reflux or diarrhea? The

33:23

age-old question. Yeah. What's

33:28

the next question? The next question

33:31

is, would you rather... Okay. No,

33:33

does the guy have to be taller than a girl?

33:38

I'm 5'9 and a girl. Oh,

33:42

I think it's all preference, but I

33:44

am hugging a tall man

33:46

feels different. And it's nice. Sorry.

33:49

Oh, shit. I'm

33:52

a J-Saw man, but I've hugged them because they're my...

33:54

Like, I hugged a writer on the show, Solomon George

33:56

Love. Yeah. I hugged him a few

33:58

weeks ago and I went, just... feels better.

34:00

It just felt

34:03

so nice. Like a temperpenic mattress

34:05

for a hug. Yeah. Got

34:08

that sweet number. But it doesn't matter.

34:12

Yeah, I think it's chemistry. And

34:14

sometimes it's really cool when you see a sexy

34:16

model and she has her arm on her boyfriend's

34:18

shoulder like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I

34:21

like that. You

34:23

like that too? Yeah. The

34:26

Bronx Bay. I don't know. I

34:28

think it's all time to mine. It's

34:31

just the way they like, hold on me. Like,

34:33

get in there. Are you guys

34:36

talking about it? They have broke out in conversation. Finally.

34:40

Finally. We should normalize this

34:42

conversation. They're tall, but

34:44

they're not all tall. They're big boys, but not

34:47

in all the right places. Wait, the people at

34:49

the bar, I don't know if you heard, but

34:51

this said just because they're tall don't mean they got a

34:53

big dick. Yeah. And their knees hurt.

34:56

They grew too fast. OK,

34:58

now this sounds crazy. Now it's just this. But.

35:02

This is crazy. But listen. It

35:05

is a preference. It is what we sort of say. It is

35:08

a preference because some people are not

35:10

size queens. Some people don't need big dicks. Some

35:13

people do. Like, you know what I mean? So it's

35:15

like really a, what's the

35:17

question again? It's

35:20

I'm 5'9". Yeah, we were just talking

35:22

about this back to all the, most of

35:24

the actors were like, oh, they're so

35:27

hot. They're all short. They're all 5'5".

35:29

Like all the people we have cross-sustained. Tom

35:31

Hardy is short. The question was, the question

35:33

I tossed it, but the question was, should

35:36

I only strictly date people that are over

35:38

5'9", the person questioning was a woman who

35:40

is over 5'9", and wondered, should

35:42

she give, I guess, people under

35:44

5'9", a try? You

35:46

know, can he pay for your meal and go down on

35:48

you? That's the

35:51

question I would be asking. He's also closer

35:53

to your crotch. They

35:55

reached the things they proposed to. Yeah, win-win. Next

35:58

question. Look at us figuring it out. you guys

36:06

36:10

do you introduce your partner to King how do

36:12

I introduce my partner to my King yeah she

36:16

said porn hub okay okay I

36:18

heard corn on the cob and

36:21

that's what I heard I was

36:23

like whoa what

36:29

is that introducing your partner

36:31

to King so I don't know how long you've

36:33

been together are y'all still talking about dick they've

36:36

broken into a smaller group they're

36:39

gonna have a forum and then they will decide there

36:42

will be a vote to be like we have voted

36:44

that the resolution has passed yes oh how do you

36:46

think what kind

36:55

of kink I mean if you want someone to

36:57

shut your chest don't tell anybody you know I

37:09

Cleveland steamer well

or you don't hate an escort you can

37:14

37:16

mean yeah can't be anything right all I'm

37:18

saying is your partner

37:23

should be a safe space okay so

37:26

whether it is over drinks or

37:28

whether it's in bed and you're whispering it just

37:32

say it and it's

37:34

okay just fucking say it okay

37:36

they're not into it or they judge you

37:38

then they're not the one for you and

37:41

that's the bigger question or they can you know you

37:43

can do it with someone else the

37:46

one weird thing you know what you

37:48

know what maybe sometimes plays an

37:50

atmosphere you know it

37:52

helps things along like if you were on vacation at

37:55

some sexy spot and you're like this is what I'm

37:57

really into this is what blows my half row puffs

37:59

back And that's

38:01

when you do it, you know, or you can go to

38:03

a sex party. So that way you're in the, yeah. What

38:06

is the love of your life says, I'm not into that.

38:08

Do you just leave them or what do you do? No,

38:10

I don't think you just leave them. Hey

41:21

question is wild. How do I go

41:23

into the men's sauna for the first time? Okay.

41:28

What are you looking for in the men's sauna? Did

41:31

you leave your sauna in there? Boldly,

41:35

boldly. I

41:37

mean, you've never been in a sauna? Okay,

41:39

go in. Check

41:41

it out. See if anybody else is naked. If

41:44

they're naked, get naked. Don't make eye contact. You

41:46

are so upset with the camera. I

41:48

like it. What do you mean? What are you looking for in a

41:50

sauna? I think it's maybe

41:52

the person has social anxiety. Sure.

41:54

You know, and so. Go out

41:56

off hours. Maybe the person who

41:58

did not write. this.

42:02

No, maybe had an Audi

42:04

back in the day. Back

42:07

in the day, would you have to be

42:09

removed then? I remember

42:12

my first sauna that was really that was

42:14

kind of like what's going on here Fisher

42:16

Price my first sauna. I

42:19

honestly thought I was gonna pass out and die in

42:21

there. Yeah, I hate it. I was actually in

42:23

Finland for a little bit. And they

42:26

love a sauna. It's their culture. It's

42:28

in their schools. It's in their homes.

42:30

They like can't get enough. Oh, but

42:32

they're so shy. They don't give compliments.

42:34

They're very reserved people, but they will

42:36

get butt naked with their families, co

42:39

workers, anybody. Yeah, and they just love

42:41

it's wild and they hit themselves with

42:43

the little grass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The

42:46

spas in Holland or Amsterdam

42:48

are coed naked. And

42:51

I was like, babe, I feel like everyone's looking and he's

42:53

like, they are I'm like, I'm

42:55

a girl.

42:57

I want

43:00

to see like a stranger's dick off

43:02

hours, you know, like rest

43:04

at wrong. On

43:12

airplane mode. On a wedding. This dick is

43:15

no Wi Fi. Don't got a question. Don

43:17

read the question. Go for it. What you

43:19

got? Let us say airplane mode dick is

43:21

crazy. The question is, how do you

43:28

break the cycle of dating the same type

43:30

of person that's wrong for you? It's

43:33

like a day. It's a choice. One day you wake up, you

43:35

do. One day you wake

43:37

up, you're like, I'm tired of this fucking heartburn.

43:39

And I stopped drinking it like you have to

43:41

do it and get it out of your system.

43:43

Sometimes you're older. You look back, you're like, I've

43:46

wasted so much of my life, but now I'm

43:48

ready. But yeah, this is a

43:50

conversation I've had with people in my

43:53

family, like friends. They

43:55

don't go you don't go until you're ready to go. Or therapy.

44:00

Yeah. I heard them.

44:02

I heard them. And it's a lot of money. Lisa

44:05

has a question. Lisa, what you got? How

44:08

should a girl ask out girls? Something.

44:13

I'll take this one. I

44:15

forgot. It should

44:17

be done. And Henrietta Hudson. OK.

44:19

Probably how you would like it.

44:22

Yeah. How

44:24

do you ask out girls? I mean,

44:27

that's kind of always the hard thing, because

44:29

you're just shy. And

44:33

it's tough. Yeah,

44:35

it is tough. It's tough to ask anyone out.

44:37

I don't even know if it's

44:40

gender specific at all. I mean,

44:42

I don't know what kind of personality you have, but

44:46

you either just ask them out right

44:48

away, or some sort

44:50

of conversation, see if it gets

44:52

flirty, or like their story is over and

44:54

over again for years. Yeah.

44:59

I mean, how do you ask somebody else?

45:02

I don't know. I'm really into people that are up.

45:05

I admire that in people. People

45:07

that are overtly flirty and conducive. That's

45:09

like, I admire that. Thank you. You're

45:12

not flirty? No,

45:14

I'm so chatty, and then when I like someone, I'm

45:16

silent. And I

45:18

cannot even. I'll just bring them water.

45:20

I can't. That's

45:23

so cute. OK.

45:26

Bye, guys. Go ahead. All right. Here

45:28

we go. Dating as an adult, what

45:30

and how the fuck do we deal

45:32

with AI bots and lying ass men?

45:34

Question mark. You guys

45:37

are really going through it. Just

45:40

dating them, right? Yeah,

45:42

yeah, yeah. There's fences and shit, and there's

45:44

whole side families and shit, so I get

45:46

it. So I feel like

45:48

for internet dating, you

45:51

got two fucking chats, and then

45:54

let's get to a phone call or a fucking meet

45:56

up with coffee during the day. Like,

45:58

the fucking talking for week. You

46:01

got emails to get to. You

46:03

don't need another conversation. How long are you talking

46:05

to somebody on the internet before you see them?

46:07

Just shout it out. One

46:10

day, couple days. Good. Yeah, get

46:12

to it. New Yorkers are fucking... I don't have time for

46:14

this shit. I love it. Yeah,

46:17

I've talked to people who are like talking to someone for three

46:19

months for fucking what? Jordan would

46:21

say that's eating around the cookie. That is definitely around the

46:23

cookie. You guys just take a bite. You gotta get in

46:25

there. Yeah. Take a big chunk.

46:28

Yeah, if they're eating around the cookie, then they're

46:30

not eating around your cookie. I

46:35

also saw a thing on TikTok that

46:37

was like, you know, we're taught to

46:40

believe the apps are where

46:42

everyone is. And like, that's where

46:44

you need to be. But it's actually like a small

46:46

group of a small group. And there's

46:48

a whole actual world of people everywhere

46:51

that are not in the app. But

46:53

they make you think everyone's in there, but they're not.

46:56

And that's why the AI bots are even there. So

46:58

it's kind of like Carrie Bradshaw at the learning annex,

47:01

you know, like the men are out there. I

47:04

don't know that app.

47:07

That's a good episode. Yeah, OK. Last

47:09

question. At what point... That's a last already?

47:11

Well, I know they've been standing for like

47:13

two hours. I know. That's really cool. They're

47:16

well into their 30s. They are dying. At

47:21

what point do you cut off friendships? How many

47:23

chances are too many? Oh,

47:26

my God. I'm obsessed. You know, I'm really

47:28

passionate about this. So there is a friendship

47:30

expert. Her name is Dr. Byer-Dox. She will

47:32

not be a doctor. I might have added

47:34

that. Damn.

47:44

Honorary Dr. Byer-Dox. I love

47:46

Danielle Byer, Justin Daniel. She was incredible. She was

47:48

a high school English teacher. And

47:51

then she worked in PR and she

47:53

realized like dynamics of friendship and what's

47:55

going on. And she started focusing on

47:57

female friendships. And, you know, we focus

47:59

so much on that. much in romantic love, we

48:01

forget so much of our joy in life

48:03

is friendship and they make it

48:05

seem like it's easy. It should be easy

48:07

but it takes work like any other relationship

48:09

and so when you have a friendship issue

48:11

you think what's wrong with me but it's

48:14

like no you gotta like really work

48:16

on it and then I don't know I just had like

48:18

such an honest combo with a friend recently but I also

48:20

cut a friend out. I cut

48:22

a few friends out but one after 12 years and

48:24

then we just started talking again but it's like it's

48:26

something I think about all the time. She has a

48:29

book coming out I'm excited for it.

48:31

Oh shit. Do you

48:33

have a friend or the doctor? No

48:35

the doctor. The doctor.

48:38

The doctor. Because I always like put a great moment

48:40

to support your friend. You know. She

48:44

has a book coming out. No my friend we

48:46

you know we've decided to put things in

48:48

the past but this is what Danielle says.

48:51

She goes a real friend you should never

48:53

hesitate to tell them good news. So

48:56

if you can't tell your friend good news that's

48:58

really not a friend so you need to really

49:00

evaluate that. Another

49:04

thing she really focuses on is you

49:06

get to be your real self. You

49:09

can be yourself you're not on edge you're

49:11

not trying to perform you're like you

49:13

can cancel if you need to for whatever

49:15

reason you can be yourself with your friend

49:17

and those are like the two things I

49:19

look for now and if I have those

49:22

things then I will forgive I will work

49:24

let's talk yeah but if I'm not myself

49:26

and you're not happy for me yeah I'm

49:28

out yeah yeah oh

49:30

my god Lisa. I focused a lot about

49:32

this because this long-term friendship was like it

49:34

was fucked for a while and it was

49:37

so hard to get out and then find

49:39

it you know I worked I really liked

49:41

this woman yeah she helped me a

49:43

lot sometimes when you're friends with someone for a long

49:45

time like you were friends with them because of

49:48

reasons that like just don't make sense anymore

49:50

like you know like yeah

49:53

they they had duck hunt at their

49:55

house and then you

49:57

didn't have duck hunt so you you know they're

49:59

like They became your friend. You know what I'm

50:01

saying? Like, that's what it was. And now you're

50:03

just like, what the fuck? Like, I don't even like that kind of

50:06

thing. Well, that's another thing she says. You know,

50:08

we really like admire long-term friendships. How

50:10

do you know they're healthy? Like, you could be

50:13

friends with someone for 25 years and it's

50:15

like a fucked up cycle and there's nothing to admire.

50:17

Or, you know, even though we had people working

50:20

on stuff, but you could meet someone really connected

50:22

and they can be someone great after not

50:24

that long, you know? Yeah. It's

50:27

the labels for me. I'm done with

50:29

labels. I'm really done with labels.

50:31

Yeah, 36 means you don't go, this is my best

50:34

friend, but I do have one. And

50:36

I like her. I started shooting labels

50:38

around 32, 33. And

50:40

then by the time, 38, 39, I was like, oh, everybody can

50:43

fuck off. I need to make my own truth in order to

50:45

fucking understand what life is. Yeah.

50:47

So. I want to ask,

50:50

though, like, for friends, getting rid of

50:52

a friend, sometimes did the doctor or maybe

50:54

doctor talk

50:56

about, like, codependence? Because, like, maybe that's one reason

50:58

why people don't get rid of certain friends, is

51:01

like they don't want to be alone. Well, I'll

51:03

tell you something that my therapist told me about,

51:05

an unhealthy thing. She

51:08

said, you know, this friend

51:10

may be using you, for whatever reason, but

51:12

you're using them. And you have to

51:14

figure out what you're gaining from that person and

51:18

gain that in yourself. Because you're using this, like, if

51:20

you're in a bad thing, you're with them for something.

51:22

And you have to figure that out in yourself. Instead

51:25

of using them for whatever

51:27

comfort they kind of have with you.

51:30

And one of my friends said,

51:32

it's honestly humiliating to argue with someone you're

51:34

not fucking. Which Alex helped me through. Wow.

51:36

Interesting. She goes, you're in these friendship

51:39

cases. You're not even fucking these people.

51:41

Yeah. And I'm like, oh my god.

51:43

Yeah. I never fight with my friends.

51:46

Never. Yeah. Yeah. My mom always says, if

51:48

you're not feeding fucking your financing, then why

51:50

are you here? Like, why are we arguing?

51:52

So you guys can take

51:54

that. But also, friendship is

51:56

a different one to have at South

51:59

Africa. Oh yeah, that's cool. Kids, like

52:01

making time for friends, like that's, you know, probably the

52:03

thing. It gets hard, it gets really hard. I had

52:05

a, once, I had a kid

52:08

and I had a friend write me

52:10

a letter that told me that I was being selfish for not hanging

52:12

out with him. A letter, a

52:14

letter. I was like, you're a sociopath.

52:18

And he felt like left out and I

52:21

was like, well, that tells me you're a

52:23

narcissist. But it's helpful, you know? After

52:25

that, it wasn't like we broke up, but I knew who

52:28

that person was from then on. You

52:30

know, like, yeah, I mean, I'm gonna cry.

52:32

All right, talking about friends and who to

52:34

keep, making the circle smaller, it's like, it's

52:36

tough to do. It really is, but I'm

52:38

glad that you're able to do it. That's

52:40

why I have a meatball party. So I

52:43

can see all the crazies one time a year. I

52:45

don't really talk to anyone, talk amongst

52:47

yourselves. Bye-bye. See you later. But

52:50
