Introducing 'Dom and Dom'

00:00:34
Speaker
your... Okay, welcome to Dom and Dom or whatever, whatever. Hello, everyone. What's your tummy story?

Dietary Indiscretions and Food Experiences

00:00:39
Speaker
Well, the last couple of nights, I've really like put my my tummy through it. What's going Just you know eating stupid things, eating them late at night. Oof.
00:00:50
Speaker
Oof. So, yeah. You're a bad boy. Yeah. You're a bad boy for your gastroenterominal system. I also, I don't know, does this, this is like a, I can't believe we're starting the podcast. Absolutely, we're starting exactly this way.
00:01:05
Speaker
Oh, do you?
00:01:09
Speaker
Do you um like like buttery pastas and stuff like that? Just like noodles with butter? Well, I can have like other stuff. like Like last night I made a ah pasta dish that had like butter and like white wine and you know different seasonings, garlic, um and to make like ah cherry tomatoes that I roasted in the oven and then like kind of cooked them into the sauce.
00:01:35
Speaker
Do you like stuff like that? i I like a sauce, like a ragu. I do like that, but it's like, i when i when when I hear that, I think of like, it sounds too thin.
00:01:48
Speaker
It was a little thin. With capers. Like, don't know, there's something about that that makes me go, but need to have a little oomph to it, you know? I want it to... You need it to have a little dairy. Yeah. or Or just like, you know, just like ah ah a ragu that doesn't really have dairy in it, but it's just like it's just like a...
00:02:05
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Thicker. Yeah. I don't want it to be thin. I don't want it to be like a thin soupy. Okay. Good to know. This was a little soupy, but it was because I also put pasta water into the sauce and I didn't cook it down long enough, but I wanted there to be enough sauce for the pasta.
00:02:22
Speaker
Anyway, with the sauces like that, it is like a roulette of whether or not it's going to screw with me. it did. and it did at at the very late hour of midnight.
00:02:37
Speaker
And then again this morning. Oy vey. Thank you for being here, though. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for being sharing that, for being vulnerable, for letting us know. That that is honestly, like, that's hell.
00:02:49
Speaker
i yeah. I still don't go to Mendocino Farms because I had such bad food poisoning from there that I didn't go to work the next day.
00:03:00
Speaker
i was sick. And i unfortunately... Cannot go back. I will not vote go back. We will not go back. This week's episode is sponsored by Mendocino Farms.
00:03:13
Speaker
do you want to be on a toilet shitting, pissing your life away for fucking four hours? That is so unfortunate because I love Mendocino Farms. No one, like, well, that's a lie. A lot of people have told me in private because they're afraid of big Mendocino Farms coming after them that they've had gastro logic issues happening to them after they've had a Mendocino farm but not to the extent that I did I think I just got very very lucky but anyway so we're both just like little little tiny princesses I like love beverages and I'm such a beverage goblin but I mix beverages in a way that definitely upsets my stomach so are we talking a soda and a coffee are we talking
00:04:01
Speaker
like a juice and like a dairy product. I'm talking like a coffee, margarita, soda, a glass of wine, milk.
00:04:16
Speaker
You end on milk. Yes. After a long, hard day of drinking Marg's wine and soda, unwind with a cool glass of milk. Yeah, literally last night. That was like my last...
00:04:29
Speaker
beverage was a little glass of milk with ah piece a piece of your chocolate. Aw, good. From Scotland. Aw, I'm glad that you enjoyed that. I was like... ah It's good chocolate. ate a lot of it.
00:04:43
Speaker
I have more for you, by the way, if you want. No, I mean, that this is probably enough. Because we also, you know, not too long ago had Valentine's Day and I still have chocolates that im going through the there. can't believe you end your night on a on a glass of milk. That's like very...
00:04:58
Speaker
That's how I used to do it as a kid. Yeah, well, one, it's usually like almond milk or oat milk. Oh, thats that doesn't count. um
00:05:09
Speaker
In LA, it does. Well, okay. But ah ah just, you know, and I do have some lactose-free milk, but it's the lactose I need to watch out for. However, sometimes it settles my, like drinking something like that settles my stomach, especially if I've been drinking beer.
00:05:26
Speaker
And, you know, coffee margarita into a glass of wine. but I would understand how it could settle your stomach. Yeah. Damn. But sometimes it settles it by just... Exit.
00:05:37
Speaker
Yeah, French exit. That's the Okay.
00:05:49
Speaker
We have to acknowledge...

Music Preferences & Representation in Pop

00:05:52
Speaker
Because honestly, at this point, it is just a Gaga review podcast because we talk about her every day. We should do straight up, like, a string out of every time we mention because I think it will be about 20 minutes worth over the last years. I definitely, the whole drive up the 405 today, thinking...
00:06:11
Speaker
Are we just going to do a, like, Mayhem album review podcast today? Like, is that the meat of this? Because, I mean, yeah, that looking at my notes, there wasn't anything more interesting than that. know, because that that's the only thing that happened. I would say all we have to do is, did we like it?
00:06:29
Speaker
Did we not like it? Oh, we gotta say more than that. Okay. I loved it. Yeah, yeah. I loved it top to bottom. And...
00:06:40
Speaker
i like I cannot stop listening to Killa. I genuinely think she did something with that song that like physically changed me as a person. i'm like I did not think it was going to be funk.
00:06:53
Speaker
I didn't think it was going be funk at all. I thought it was just going to be electronica, you know like maybe a little grungier whatever, like a little dirtier like like disease or whatever. no she's like, hi, Michael. Hi, Prince.
00:07:06
Speaker
Yeah. Hi, Bowie. I do love the funk. I mean... Two of my favorite songs on the album are Killa and Shadow of a Man. Oh, so good. um Simply because of the disco and the funk of it all.
00:07:19
Speaker
Love Drug is really, i also am like, oh my God, you really are You went took that off the fame, went enjoy that. That's so funny. Okay, so here we go. This is why I was like, we can't just be like, we like it? Did we not like it? Yeah. There are some people very divided on what, like, the best songs versus the least best songs. Love that. um And Love Drug is one of those for me where I'm skipping that more. Wow. Yeah, yeah.
00:07:53
Speaker
I'm into it, it's fine, but, like, to me, it's, like, not... It's not one my favorites. think the only one I i skip is The Beast. That's the only one that I've skipped. Yeah. yeah But most of the songs...
00:08:05
Speaker
They all feel like something that is innately Gaga from like early years, but also is like something pulled from someone else. It's just justice for our pop, I think. I just want to get so drunk and dance so hard and just scream. Yeah, with other Gaga heads. Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:21
Speaker
Because it's nice to have that community back, you know? It's like, I feel like I've been like, you know, we've been we've been kind of like, wading through the yeah we're like no joanne dude it's a bop let's go dance to joanne no one's gonna go dance to joanne you know what i mean country will really throw people for a loop i'm like you heard chapel like well she did it on snl so like i heard the song before but like the giver yeah so like now people are confused by this move and like there's nothing confusing about it she's always been that she's
00:08:57
Speaker
The first thing out of her mouth is that she's country. It's the same thing with Beyonce. It's like... Yeah. They just don't want to let you be what you want to be. They, like, want you to be the thing they want.
00:09:08
Speaker
You know what? Like, good for her. We need, like, a lesbian pop princess. What about, like, Cobra?
00:09:17
Speaker
Starship? No, just Cobra. The one that's, like... Do my hair, ba-ba-ba, I'm a brand new bitch. du no no It was in the trailer for Pursuit Happiness or something.
00:09:33
Speaker
Okay, i have no idea. but i'm sure, you'll love her She's like fetish-y, Swedish, but she paints her fucking face. That definitely sounds like something you'd love. Oh, like obsessed.
00:09:44
Speaker
Yeah. And like, I didn't know that's what she looked like when I heard the music. Now freaking out. Also, now that I've listened to the album, I'm like, Gustafelstein or whatever, how did I not know about him?
00:09:54
Speaker
Like, how did I not know about him? I love house. I love electronic music. I love industrial music. How did I not know about him as like a producer and a DJ? I don't know. I didn't know about him, but yeah, it would make more sense for you to know about him.
00:10:09
Speaker
And now I'm listening to his music and I'm like, this is my soundtrack to my life. Like his music is So good. What's he featured on? Killa. Okay. But also the whole album. Yeah.
00:10:21
Speaker
Yeah. He produced the whole album. Okay, cool. Yeah, because I thought I saw his name specifically on Killa, but was like, wait, like, this DJ who did, like, a funk track? But, yeah.
00:10:31
Speaker
And, like, his he's a French-Jewish DJ named Gustafelstein or whatever, and when he performs, he wears this chrome mask of his own face. Mm-hmm.
00:10:43
Speaker
love that. That's hot. So kind of looks like a little Daft Punk-y, but imagine it's like a mold of your face on top of your face. It's really cool. I'm like, I like this. I like this vibe. I like this fella. Yeah.
00:10:55
Speaker
And then I found out that she's been, Gaga's been to Brinkheim. Now like, another reason why I... Wow. germany Germany is something else. They've gone through a lot. They interesting. They are the middle child, for sure.
00:11:08
Speaker
I wish I knew what that meant. Yeah. I have such a bad idea of like children dynamics and psychology um because i'm an only child so like i don't know god that's right you're one of the better ones though see what you said technically sounds like a compliment but it's not a compliment yeah i'm glad i yeah it's not a compliment actually yeah i mean you're one of the better ones you definitely are though i mean yeah but that's
00:11:41
Speaker
Still not saying I'm great. It's just saying that, you or or any, you think that all only children are terrible. Be real. Most of the ones that I think people come in contact. I mean, I was even getting a haircut the other day and this guy who was clearly the one I could pick out from the people getting haircuts because he was the loudest and like kind of the most interesting with his conversation pieces.
00:12:04
Speaker
And at the end of him getting a haircut, he tells the woman, i'm And I'm an only child, if you couldn't tell. And I just started laughing in the waiting room because I was like, that that was like quintessential what I think myself and other people think about only children.
00:12:22
Speaker
yeah And you're not like that at all. so Yikes. We really got a bad rep out there in the world. Oh, 100%. My writing partner and me were talking and ah and at one point, I think he like something about folding a plane. Anyway, it was just like a thing where I was like, why is this such a thing? And then he was like well I'm an only child. I'm like used to getting my way. And I went, oh my God, like, I don't even under, like, I can't even connect on that level. Like I can't connect to other people with siblings.
00:12:54
Speaker
I can't connect to only other children. What do i do? Where do i go? this is what makes you so eccentric. I think what makes me so check eccentric is that I'm five foot nine and Russian and Jewish and immigrant.
00:13:11
Speaker
And also, um, I have a finger growing out of my ass. Yeah. Yeah. All of that.
00:13:20
Speaker
Um, okay. So we're going to take a break.
00:13:25
Speaker
Sometimes need to be understood and seen and you do that for me. Thank you. um appreciate i appreciate that it comes off that way.
00:13:38
Speaker
need to know that's not my dungeon the least. Okay, we'll be right back. We'll be right back.
00:14:00
Speaker
We are back. I know this doesn't really apply to you, but now that we're in April, we're going into the Easter season. oh it applies to me.
00:14:12
Speaker
Yeah? Yeah. do you Do you celebrate Easter? No, but, ah you know, historically, my people have been mixed in with Easter a lot. What goes on for the Jewish community during Easter time? um All the Christians say that we killed their Lord and Savior. So that's what happens to us. on But then apparently they're all happy and they kind of are like, okay, fine. We came back, so we won't kill you today.
00:14:35
Speaker
so Yeah. Yeah. Rose from the dead and just wreaked havoc. Yeah. I think we talked about it last year, but I still don't understand the bunny part of it. And I think that's that's just, yeah. Yeah, we shouldn't.
00:14:49
Speaker
should have looked that up because have no clue what the hell they did about about the bunny. but what I'm most excited for during Easter season, which oddly, and feel like applies to the Jewish community because I feel like somewhere back in the day, a recipe was stolen.
00:15:12
Speaker
Hala. Oh, yeah. Right. Sweet bread. ah Basically. Okay. Right. It doesn't have to be super sweet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's, like, a hint of sweet. It's, like, made her made with, like, milk product, too, right? Or eggs. Honey, yeah. Yeah, definitely eggs.
00:15:30
Speaker
Yeah. um So there's, like, like a sweet, there's a sweet bread for Easter that is literally the same recipe. It's the same bread.
00:15:41
Speaker
And they usually put, like, an egg in the middle. Like a, like a, like a hard-boiled egg is, like, put in the center of the bread as it cooks. And then like, when you go to eat it, you know, like someone gets the egg in the middle, which I was always into love bread with an egg in it.
00:16:00
Speaker
But yeah, I just, ah it's so odd because like growing up on the East coast in Massachusetts, like a very Portuguese Easter thing to do is get this bread, get this bread, honey, get this bread. And then when I moved here,
00:16:17
Speaker
and there's like hardly any Portuguese people, but a lot of Jewish people seeing challah, like even in Ralph's, I was like, wait, this is, this is that bread. Like, in and I think in some occasions, if I, if like you go to, cause maybe this is also part of like Mexican culture, but there are sweet breads there. And sometimes they do have an egg in the middle and I need to get to the bottom of ah where this bread came from and you know, who had,
00:16:46
Speaker
What came first, the chicken or the bread? The egg or the bread? Yeah, I, um, well, I mean, i would understand why Christian culture would have it, considering, like, Christianity came out of Judaism, so it's like, the people are the same, it's just, they probably eat the same food, the food's similar. Yeah.
00:17:08
Speaker
And, like, also, like, if you think about like, just food in general is, people may not have contact at all and have similar foods.

Dumpling Preferences: Wet vs. Dry

00:17:16
Speaker
Right. You know, like noodles. There's like, and dump, like specifically dumplings. Girl. Every culture has ah dumpling.
00:17:24
Speaker
I was about to go off on that. Cause you made yeah, you made me think about dumplings. Go off queen. I was like, yeah, like every freaking culture as number has some sort of dumpling yeah thing.
00:17:35
Speaker
And which one's the best and which one's disgusting? Say it. Um, don't cause they're all delicious. Yeah. Yeah, I get a whole group of people against me. Yeah, they all... I mean, okay, so how about this?
00:17:49
Speaker
When you have, like, a dumpling type of thing, are you... Do you prefer the ones that are, like, fried or, like, drier? Do you like the more, like, wetter ones?
00:18:00
Speaker
What are your... What your feelings? Well, first of all, like, this is a really private question that you're just, like, asking me so publicly. if I like a dry or wet dumpling, oh, my God, you are just...
00:18:11
Speaker
kaie Or does it start dry and then, you know, make it wet? Make it wet. Yeah. Yeah. I like you dry dumplings that I make wet.
00:18:23
Speaker
um I like a wet dumpling. Okay. ah Like a gyoza is great. You know, a fried skirt, you know, on a dumpling. I don't mind at all. But like a soup dumpling or a wonton in a soup or like a mantou.
00:18:44
Speaker
i All day, every day I'll eat it. I love making dumplings.
00:18:49
Speaker
When I was on the phone with my mom and stepdad earlier, ah we somehow stocks came up and I was like, yeah, i looked at the stocks the other day and saw how sad it's looking and depressive.
00:19:05
Speaker
And they both said, oh yeah, that's all with Trump and Elon. That's how that happened. I was like, how funny. Interesting. Interesting how that plays out when how many people said,
00:19:18
Speaker
oh, no matter how many other shitty things they do, at least they'll fix us when it comes to the financial, you know, status of this country. They never did.
00:19:29
Speaker
and they never were. The Republicans have never made this country better through their policies. Because the biggest lie they told you was trickle-down economics.
00:19:40
Speaker
That was the biggest lies I told. And people never believed it, but they kept saying it And now we're just going to have a bunch of forests cut down. Oh, a hundred million acres of forest.
00:19:52
Speaker
A hundred million acres of forest. We have no federal like, uh, uh, rangers.

Critique of Capitalism & Communal Living

00:19:59
Speaker
We are probably going to drill everywhere and nothing's going happen.
00:20:04
Speaker
Oh, and like trans people won't exist. And like, we're going to like deport and denaturalize like a bunch of people. That's cool. Yeah, really insane. And then the... Oh, by the way thank you anyone who didn't vote. Really appreciate that.
00:20:18
Speaker
thanks for Thanks for standing on that. Appreciate that. Hope you feel great about it. Yeah, and those third party votes that went nowhere. Love that. Yeah. Hope you're happy today. Hope you're happy now.
00:20:30
Speaker
um And also too, what's sad, this is kind of random, but on the same topic. I was coming home yesterday from a hike and I was passing this like huge, like factory looking building that was condemned for asbestos.
00:20:47
Speaker
um And i was like, this building could house probably 300 people And it's just sitting here, rotting and decaying.
00:21:00
Speaker
And like, it's in a kind of a gorgeous area of like outside downtown where, um you know, there was a grass and and the the river or whatever. And i was just like, what the hell? Like we are having such a housing crisis, especially in Los Angeles.
00:21:18
Speaker
And I don't know where the money needs to come from to kind of update things like that. But I'm like, there are plenty of buildings that are just sitting vacant because of, you know, ordinances and whatnot.
00:21:34
Speaker
And yeah, I'm just like, instead of knocking down trees and other areas, why can't we just fix what's already slightly available to us? Um, the answer is money. And these, by the way, we don't have a housing crisis. We have a capitalism crisis where homes are now basically owned by corporations owned by these conglomerates who are just, and they're sitting vacant. No one's living in them and they're just buying up houses and no one's in them.
00:22:08
Speaker
Yeah. That's what it is. It's like, if you just let people, like if you, tax people for having multiple properties people wouldn't just own a bunch of houses like that and people would actually be able to buy and afford a first home and also make it like not I mean i understand that like a lot of people like invest in housing as like a way to like have money but that's like fucked up that like property ownership is how you make
00:22:42
Speaker
It's how you guarantee you have, like, retirement funds. Like, that's, like... And they're even getting rid of that.
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. It's it's all fucked. It's all fucked, fucked, fucked. um We should start a commune where it's just, like... And I've pitched this to all my friend groups.
00:23:01
Speaker
We should all just, like, buy a school and, like, make little apartments in it. And we all should just, like live together in a commune. That's it. People, I hear multiple... people say this, like the whole commune idea.
00:23:14
Speaker
i if anything, i feel like I would turn into one of those people that live out of a van. Like I get those videos. I saw one last night, which honestly looked like and like, completely not unrealistic, but like, literally not real, where it was already a small car.
00:23:37
Speaker
And this girl was living out of it. And she was able to like, she takes the two driver seats, like pushes them down, like puts, you know, stuff up on all the windows. And then she'll like cook,
00:23:50
Speaker
put that away, set up a little like projection TV and then just like lay across like all the seats. Yeah. And this is like a mini car already. yeah And I was like, damn, like, I mean, yeah.
00:24:04
Speaker
what What are you spending money on? ah Maybe a generator, ah you know, updating your battery more frequently. But to think other than that, you're saving so much if you're able to do whatever else income and stuff.
00:24:18
Speaker
My only problem with that is that I need a shower because when I have an upset stomach slash French exit situation, yeah I best believe that I will not be in the car when that happens.
00:24:33
Speaker
So like, I need, I need facilities, which is why like and a van would be okay with like a bathroom. That had bathroom in it. had a, I had a friend who had one of those, like that remodel, like a, one of those like, um,
00:24:48
Speaker
BMW, uh, vans, the sprinter guys that you could stand in. Yeah. made them into a little like home on wheels. Yeah. And it was all right. I mean, it it's cramped and like, obviously like you look around my house, like I just got shit everywhere. So it's like, you really have to kind of go, have to get rid of everything.
00:25:10
Speaker
Yes. That is the one thing that like kills me a bit is thinking about how many, how much stuff I have. Mm-hmm. things that I like to have, you know, memories or whatever. And like how I would reduce that to a van.
00:25:24
Speaker
yeah But yeah, I guess if it was big enough where you could actually have some storage or whatever, you can kind of make it work. I mean, I wear the same thing all the time. I like have a bunch of shit.
00:25:40
Speaker
I don't wear it. wear the same goddamn thing every day. like, might as well just get rid of everything. have your few staple pieces that, you know, are quality. Yeah. Um, you always flip your underwear inside out. You're fine.
00:25:54
Speaker
Yeah. Wear no underwear. Oh my God. That's better. That's so much better. Somewhere the door. That's your coochie. I was at a bat mitzvah last night and they played that song by sexy red. That's like hands on your knees, hands, let that coochie breathe. And I was like, these, and I went, Oh my God. And they were screaming it.
00:26:14
Speaker
And they like knew that song. They knew like, They loved Scott. What's Trey tray scott with the fuck? Travis Scott. Travis Scott. They knew his songs, like, by heart. Like, I didn't know people loved Travis Scott that much.
00:26:30
Speaker
Yes, yeah. And, like, then where was this? Here. This was, like, ah in North Hollywood. It was crazy. I was, like, these 13-year-old kids are, like, they knew oldies. Like, they knew oldies. Yeah.
00:26:44
Speaker
Yeah. the songs that we thought were old, they, like, knew them. And i' like, how do you guys know about these songs? TikTok. I guess you're right. i was very surprised. But, yeah, the fact that they were singing to let that coochie breathe, I was like, yikes.
00:26:58
Speaker
and I mean, look at the songs we would listen to in middle school. Like, I remember listening to, well, now I'm thinking of, like,
00:27:09
Speaker
Shake your luffy-taffy. Oh. Your luffy-taffy. But like. I mean, to the windows of the walls. To the windows of the walls. Sweat down walls. All that. Just, just, just motherfucker. Just, just, just. Yeah. Goddamn.
00:27:20
Speaker
um Yeah, but they wouldn't play that at a bat mitzvah or a school function. No, they they would. What? Like at my middle school dance, like whatever, we'd have like a social dance.
00:27:31
Speaker
And I remember social like grinding up on this girl, middle school, you know, seventh, eighth grade. Damn. And yeah, fully. And it was too, yeah, like to the window, to the wall or or something. Or like, I know we, they also played that like dun, dun, dun.
00:27:51

00:28:53
Speaker
um Was Sierra the one that people thought had a penis? No, was Lady Gaga. No, no, before, before that, before. Oh, maybe it was because she did that song where she was like, like a boy.

00:32:37
Speaker
The thing is like, look, technically as a dancer, incredible, like very athletic, very powerful. I'm impressed by the athleticism, you know, it's the point of view for me that's missing.
00:32:49
Speaker
Like it is like, if you're going to do, I'm a sexy baby doll baby, you're not doing it hard enough. If you're trying to say you're deeper than that and you're like an emotional person, i don't really, I'm not seeing that. Mm-hmm.

Speaker
If you're going to tell, you know, I just need, I need an amped up. Like where are the gays on your team who are telling you that like, you know, that you need to do a little bit more. Right. Well, and it's clear she doesn't have gays on her team.
00:33:15
Speaker
I, she has like a choreographer, but he was telling her that he, he said it and she, she never saw that Beyonce video of crazy in love. Like he gave her that as a reference for her, the one where she's like naked up against a cop car music video, that one.

00:34:25
Speaker
Yeah, but, you know, yeah this is why she's not good. That's a no for me, dog. I'm glad we did this. Okay, good. Yeah, I'm so glad you great great brought that up. Okay, great, great. I've been just sitting on that one. Um... I will say that little s spin she did in the high heels was really cool when she did a little, like, in the hair.
00:34:42
Speaker
But why is she wearing tiny whities? And high heels, like, you know that's what i like, then wear a G-string. I just don't get it. yeah Anyway, please go. There is enough. Yeah, sorry. I...
00:34:53
Speaker
i oh Well, I'll, okay, so, I'll, this is, this really is, like, um a music episode, I think. Because I'm gonna add this as a yes or no.
00:35:04
Speaker
um Yes or no, Jade, if you're familiar.
00:35:12
Speaker
Listen, as someone who just learned about Tate McRae, you know, I just wanted to, um you showed me, you, uh, If you even know who she is, I told you about her.
00:35:26
Speaker
I was the one that went, I heard this one, you have to listen to it. And you heard it, forgot you heard it, several weeks later claimed that you discovered it and showed it to me I never heard of this.
00:35:39
Speaker
And now we're going, do you even know who that is? You're just rewriting history. Let's write so however you want it. Just fully. like Just sorry to that man. This is so funny. This is so fucking funny.
00:35:56
Speaker
can't believe it. Okay, listen. First of all, it just came up in my mind last minute because i had to bring her up. Secondly, yes, it is hilarious. Mainly because I feel like we've already talked about her. Exactly.
00:36:10
Speaker
talked to Talked about her in the way where I was like, hey, I was listening to like Alaska and Willow and they they played this song and i'm I'm so into it. And you're like, yeah, I literally played that for you.
00:36:23
Speaker
And then I remember the day you played it for me. And for some reason, it just was not sinking for me at all. No, it's because you only listen to other gay men and you're like, I only care what they have to say about music. Dasha could go fuck herself. Uh-huh.
00:36:38
Speaker
um But yeah, i'm I'm glad that they... that they I swear, i swear in like two months time, going to do you know Jade? I couldn't believe this.
00:36:51
Speaker
The earnestness in which you looked me dead in the eye and went, do you even know? Yeah. Yeah, I do. That is... Oh my God, I can't.
00:37:03
Speaker
ah okay the reason why I bring her up is because of the Brit Awards performance that she did which so so you don't feel bad um someone Joe sent that Brit Awards performance to me via text and was like you need to watch this and then I was like yeah sure didn't watch it watched it the other day so and then went to Joe and put it on and was like, you need to watch this.
00:37:33
Speaker
Have you seen this? And he's like, dude, I sent it to you. And I can, you know, shout out to a lot of my friends. This is, yes, an honest moment. You all send me things that I will not pay attention to. And then I'll send it to you two days later for you to check out because I have now discovered it.
00:37:54
Speaker
Clearly. I'm so glad you discovered her. Yeah. I'm going to listen to her. I think that she's cool. I think I'll listen to her now. Yeah. You seem to really like her. You know, I get it, but I can't play that.
00:38:05
Speaker
ah Yeah. You know where she's from? Yeah. Little mix. Okay. i was Well, I was going to say Fifth Harmony. so Okay. Well, now we really, where's your card? I got to take it. It's revoked. Take it back, please. I need it updated.
00:38:22
Speaker
No, i i love I think she's really great. I do think she's like really leaning into the like gays like me thing which I don't really like because I think it's like such a pandering. It's like what Katy Perry is doing now which I'm like.
00:38:38
Speaker
No, no, no. The difference is is the gays don't like Katy Perry. Yeah, because she never liked them. She only likes them now because she needs them. Yeah. Um... Whereas I feel i'm like fine with Jade yeah pandering to the gays because she really needs that. Like that is her place. Oh, okay.
00:38:57
Speaker
Like that's where she'll probably find her success success because she's not penetrating the U.S. market. She isn't. she is such a great UK artist. And it's like, yeah look at Charlie.
00:39:08
Speaker
Charlie was mid-card for mainstream, but never really clicking And what happened? Brat. Yeah. Brat Summer came around. some Somehow the gaze, it absorbed through all of their orifices.
00:39:25
Speaker
And she penetrated the market. She penetrated. Yeah, she got it. And she did it. Yeah, i agree. Yeah, no, I really like her. like Jada. I like her music. Yeah. I really, I enjoy it. Did you listen to like her more recent stuff? Yeah.
00:39:39
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I watched the performance. I do really like her. She has a great voice. And she's funny. That's the thing. i She's funny. Her, like, wig changes, and they're, like, such crunchy wigs. But it's, like, kind of the camp of it all is so funny. I do love that.
00:39:53
Speaker
You saw, um, sorry to bring back, but you saw Dochi's, like, BET performance before she blew up? Um, before she blew up. I don't know. So, like, she blew up on TikTok, obviously, and then they invited her to do a thing on the BETs, and she did the song Crazy,
00:40:09
Speaker
And she did the persuasion. So it was like it was a medley of her two big hits from TikTok. And the first one she was like in this gorgeous wig. And she was like, you know, persuasion, marijuana, singing. And then it's a hard cut.
00:40:20
Speaker
She rips the fucking weave off. And it's long braids, cornrows down her fucking ass. And she's screaming, rapping like amazing. and I went, it's her.
00:40:33
Speaker
It's her. She's got what it takes to go the distance. Like she's got vision. Yeah. And then guess what?
00:40:41
Speaker
Darian
00:40:44
Speaker
sends me a vengeance for her. Saying I just saw her on the B&C Awards. What do you think? Oh, I do. I do love Dochi. She just gets better and better. Do you like Jane?
00:40:56
Speaker
Yeah. Wow, that's convincing. Well, yeah. I mean, well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The higher your voice goes, the more I don't know if you like her. No, I do. I think i i'm sorry i mean, Angel of My Dreams became such a song for the years. so The fact that she brought the guy to the red carpet. What what is that about? is he in the news what' what's What's the real parts of him and what are the fake parts? I can't figure it out.
00:41:24
Speaker
He himself just doesn't look real. Well, I mean, prosthe that's definitely prosthetics. i'm like His whole body seems prosthetic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just like wearing like a suit.
00:41:34
Speaker
Except for a fat suit, it's like Hulk suit. Yeah, because they do that for like Marvel and stuff. They wear those kinds of things under their little uniforms. All right, do you have one for me? i do It's not a musical one, is that okay? Yeah, yeah.
00:41:51
Speaker
Are you sure? Because I'm nervous.
00:41:55
Speaker
Online shopping. haven't done some Specifically for clothes. Okay. Okay. Um, I, I used to do it a lot more. I used to do a lot of online shopping for like random drag things that I needed.
00:42:11
Speaker
not so much for boy clothes. Um, but yeah, I mean, online shopping is great, even though Amazon has just monopolized that, uh, you gotta get what you can get. Remember Oriental trading?
00:42:26
Speaker
Personally. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. What do you mean, Oriental trading? Well, you remember it, right? What do you mean? the but like, iconic ah like catalog of products that you could order.
00:42:43
Speaker
No, I thought you were talking about, like, the Oriental Trail. And I'm like, no, I don't remember that. i That's like millennia ago. What are you talking about? Is it a catalog?
00:42:54
Speaker
um It was a catalog. I would get it like every month. um Oh. And you could, and I believe they had like commercials and stuff too, but it's like, basically you could get like all of your like party city supplies, all of your like events, like just all these different things that now people just go to Amazon for.
00:43:14
Speaker
Um, since Party City is also closing out. Um, but yeah, like, you know, if you wanted a bag of eyeballs or, you know, umbrellas for your drinks, or you wanted tinsel tablecloths, or you wanted ah to do a whole luau, you know, this you could just buy from.
00:43:35
Speaker
Um, and yeah, I guess, I guess it was more of like a nineties thing going into the early two thousands, but it was, it, you know, it had a chokehold on society, I think. Interesting.
00:43:46
Speaker
Because that makes me think of Sky Zone. or Or, yeah. The amusement area? No, it's like Sky, it's that magazine on planes. Yeah, like Sky Miles or whatever. Yes, yes, where it had, it was a catalog yeah that had like, and it's like, it had like, faux tombstones, like,
00:44:08
Speaker
That you could decorate your house for Halloween. And then, like, next page is, like, those space cat toilets that, like, you know, spin or whatever. yeah And I used to look at those, like... I used to really love looking at those.
00:44:20
Speaker
Which is also crazy to think, like, oh, I'm i'm in this plane. I'm flying to my, you know, vacation or whatever. And I'm thinking about ordering some stuff from this Sky Airline magazine. Yeah.
00:44:32
Speaker
Yeah. I think it's, like, ah best way to use the time that you have. You know, it's, like... I'm in the air for six hours. Like, let me get some like the home stuff, like some errands out of the way.
00:44:43
Speaker
Yeah. Let me order these like, you know, slippers in the shape of like a zombie head. Like, Oh, looks, looks festive in this, you know, 24 carat necklace.
00:44:56
Speaker
Beautiful,
00:45:02
Speaker
I love, I love online shopping, but I'm now, so I don't do it anymore. I really tried to stop it. i realized like I will not be supporting these people.

Supporting Local vs. Online Shopping

00:45:12
Speaker
I'm like, you know, I should have not done it years ago, but like, you know, fuck my drag, whatever I had to.
00:45:19
Speaker
And now I'm like, i had to go. i was like, usually it's also difficult for me to find clothing in stores. Like I'm not a normal size and there's just no clothes for me ever.
00:45:30
Speaker
So I would buy stuff online all the time. yeah, I went, that's really still contributing to the problem. So I found a store in Burbank that like has clothes that I fit into.
00:45:41
Speaker
and I went there in person and the, I talked to the girl that owns it and she like bought the business. It was going out of business. She like used the model for them. Then she bought the business outright.
00:45:52
Speaker
and is that but for a year and a half? It's like her store. She's like really struggling, but she's working like 90 hour weeks. Yeah. Like, curating all the clothes and she went it's really hard work but goes it's important what I do because like women need to feel comfortable and they need to know there's places that exist where they could buy clothes that like they won't be able to find in other stores and when I see women happy when they like find an outfit that they want or need it reminds me like oh I'm doing this for a bigger reason than just like what I do and I went
00:46:27
Speaker
oh my god, like, I would have never done this if I would have fucking went online and and clicked and whatever. And it's like, she, like, helped me find an outfit. She, like, curated me clothes. She was like, I think this would look good on you. Or, like, this jumpsuit. She's the one that recommended this jumpsuit.
00:46:43
Speaker
That's so awesome. Yeah, she was really great. I think everyone should go there. It's called Curves. Curves. With a Q. was gonna say, because I was like, wasn't Curves a thing back in the day? No, Curves with a Q. It's really awesome. And she is a model and she does makeup.
00:46:58
Speaker
And she owns this. It's her business. Yeah. That's awesome. And what street is that on? It's on Burbank. Okay. In Burbank. Sorry, you can find it in Burbank.
00:47:09
Speaker
In Burbank. Yeah. Work. It's awesome. um Yeah, i ah I think we should all be supporting local businesses more wherever we can.
00:47:20
Speaker
I'm realizing now the only time I do online shop is the one or two moments where, and we've talked about this before, but like, uh, as a, ah yes or no, but like, um, when like Instagram or TikTok is like trying to sell you something and it's like a cute, like gift type of thing. I've definitely ordered a couple of those at this point where I'm like, Oh yeah, that's like a perfect gift for blah, blah, blah's birthday or whatever.
00:47:47
Speaker
My mom is like crazy with it. She, she is the person who buys those Facebook shirts that's like only real like Massachusetts women know how to third are there and like I see her at these events and I'm like how did you get such a specific shirt for this event and it's always the Facebook ads where they're literally just AI re generating something you probably said and your phone heard it and then yeah she's like she like you know got shirts that's like
00:48:18
Speaker
ah like, i like, my godfather is the best one around jesus for my godfather's birthday. Wow. Like, to wear yeah there. And I was like, work, mom. You're giving that money back to meta, no problem.
00:48:33
Speaker
My mom gets me, like, she has trouble, like, I think I've said this, like, she has trouble, like, expressing her feelings. So instead she'll, like, buy me a blanket that says, like,
00:48:46
Speaker
to my dearest daughter, da, da, da. And like someone else wrote this whole thing. And she just, she's like, that's her way of, you know, cause she won't be like, I love you um the phone.
00:48:57
Speaker
Instead, going to get you a blanket where it's like and inscribed in it. Yeah. And she she does fall for, she buys a lot of stuff. She buys exclusively online things. And it is, I'm trying to get her to,
00:49:12
Speaker
pump the brakes but it's hard yeah it's so tempting for that generation mean they grew up on infomercials all the time and now it's really at your fingertips also i think it's just like it's easy yeah and that and then maybe they're like there's a cognitive dissonance thing where they're like they don't really know where it's coming from like oh it's magic it shows up on my doorstep like you ordered this You ordered this. It came out of a factory in China. Don't worry. yeah They didn't have days to like regret it versus when they used to buy it. It's like you had two weeks to be like, why did buy this?
00:49:46
Speaker
Now it's like... that's going to be my last yes or no. Oh, please. Buyer's remorse. Wow. Yes or no, huh? Yes or no. Buyer's remorse.
00:49:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. A lot. Yes. And I think it's healthy, and I think it's good, and I think there's nothing wrong with returning something you don't like.
00:50:11
Speaker
Mm-hmm. It takes me a while to get back to wherever I, if I really am going to return something. Yeah. But yeah, I suffer from that so hard where I've gone Better where I'm just like, okay, then I won't buy it. If I know I'm going to potentially remorse it, but no definitely still happens. I'll still have those like, um, what do you call it? Like spur of the moment, uh, purchases where I'm like, okay, I guess I was just feeling good that day.
00:50:43
Speaker
ah Mine, and it's with clothing all the time because like I'll order, like I used to order clothing and then it wouldn't look good. It just wouldn't because it's like, i didn't see it in person. It's not the same material as advertised, you know, whatever. So it's like, why am I doing this? If it's just going to look like shit, I'm just not going to buy it.
00:51:01
Speaker
So started doing that. Or you go in person and see if you like it.
00:51:09
Speaker
Hold on one second.
00:51:14
Speaker
um For listeners, currently I'm spread-eagled and upside down, and I'm just taking a photo of me.
00:51:24
Speaker
And it's all need to hold on, which is difficult because the blood is a rushing to the top of my head. i am turning purple. The spread eagle looks good, so I'm not getting a blame. Pretty good stuff.
00:51:37
Speaker
Um...
00:51:41
Speaker
Sorry. War? I was just, i had to check something. Oh, okay. um You bought something. i just, I actually just did buy something online. I was like, this reminded me. fucking knew it. And I actually have to press send on this checkout cart. What did you buy? I Oh, that would be so cool.
00:52:02
Speaker
That is, that would be terrible if I was like, Yes. Oh, that's right. Buyers are more online spending. You've inspired me to check out this car. I did see a really cool watch online. That was like a dolly inspired. It looked like a melting clock and it's a watch. Oh yes. Yes. but But here's the thing.
00:52:22
Speaker
I can't tell time when it's not digitized. So why would I get a clock with hands? You know what I mean?
00:52:30
Speaker
Right. You know what I mean? Right. But they look cool. I love watches. i have a bunch. I used to collect them. was like, I wear them. What the fuck am I doing? And to me, watches don't mean status the way they, I think, used to They were, like, ingrained in us as, like, an a status. Really?
00:52:48
Speaker
yeah I've heard it many a time. And maybe it's more of like, a male thing. Like, oh, having a nice watch on your wrist, like, yeah you know, is kind of a status. How can you tell if it's a nice watch?
00:52:59
Speaker
I think it's just also the idea of like, oh, you on the watch, but like time, time has gone past that. Ooh. Like, ooh, a nice, nice way to tell the time without having to check on your rotary phone. Let's bring back, what are those? The, the hanging ones, the little hanging clocks?
00:53:21
Speaker
Oh. Pocket watches? you know I'm talking about. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, pocket watch. Let's bring those back. Yeah. I want a gentleman about town walking around And you just casually, on ah like on a chain loop, hanging off.
00:53:34
Speaker
It's a pocket watch. The the like lesbian chain on the yes ah side, but then you go to pull the chain and it's like, oh, wait. Oh, and he like clicks it, it opens. He goes, oh, it's 10 to 4. It wasn't connected to my wallet. It was connected to my watch. Because I don't have a wallet. Because I'm a drifter. Yeah.
00:53:51
Speaker
