The Golden Grads: Kiss my “A’

0:14 Well, what now? We start.

0:17 With what? Hello everybody.

0:21 Welcome to Two Twongs and a Lie, Taylor Perry.

0:27 And I'm in moon. Hello.

0:29 Hi. All the enthusiasm in the world.

0:32 Every time, all the time. 365, bitch.

0:37 What is that like the days of the year?

0:38 Yeah, oh, what else is 365 other than like my IQ?

0:47 I cannot believe you laughed at that.

0:49 I'm sorry, is it really 365? You horrible person.

0:52 No, I think that's like, that's like, I don't even think it goes

0:55 that high, does it? I don't know.

0:57 I thought like genius was like 140 or something.

1:00 I don't know. Let's find out.

1:01 How high does the IQ score go? I don't know, Siri, I'm not

1:04 quite sure. Siri, how high does the IQ go up

1:07 to? Come on.

1:10 Siri, get your shit together. She's.

1:12 Loading it's her Wi-Fi. It's slow.

1:14 Shouldn't be a pay enough for it?

1:16 Please try again later. Told you in case some people

1:20 didn't hear. Said she was having trouble with

1:21 the connection so I would just Google it real quick.

1:24 IQ score points? How high does it go?

1:26 I think it's like 1:30 or 1:40. Did you?

1:29 Is that what your computer said? And just so the listeners that

1:33 know, at home we are actually watching Golden Girls.

1:35 This is a Golden Girl watch party night tonight Part 2, Part

1:38 2 Part 1 didn't well, very. Well, it was.

1:42 It was there. Part 1 was there.

1:44 We did our. Best how It was a great episode.

1:47 It's a. Really good episode.

1:48 We're actually really sad that we can't upload it but.

1:50 It was a great episode, but. We had some technical

1:52 difficulties trying to export it and upload it and everything so.

1:56 Those are many. Here we are.

1:57 Trying to do Part 2. If we're lucky you'll get

2:00 bloopers from it. Eventually, yes, eventually we

2:02 will. Might make like reels and stuff

2:05 I guess for social media. But no, the sound quality was

2:08 just not there. So here we are, Part 2, the

2:10 sequel. OK, so IQ ratings.

2:14 What is it the? Lowest level is 85 and genius is

2:19 technically 179. Flash, Yeah.

2:21 I knew, I knew in the 300 I knew that was going to be way too

2:24 high. Like you divided by 240 sounded

2:26 like more reasonable one. Like Gifted is 130 and above

2:31 according to. I've always wanted to know what

2:32 my IQ is. There's IQ test online you could

2:35 do. Like I can just, I can just take

2:38 one online to find out my IQ. Yeah, I'd be down for that.

2:41 But I thought I'd give it a try. I do believe last time I checked

2:44 mine was that like I don't remember she's she's about to

2:48 brag. I don't remember mine actually

2:50 bragging. I really don't.

2:51 I don't remember what my IQ was at.

2:52 I. Remember right, it was like a

2:55 150. I do quite remember.

2:57 I mean, it might have been 170, I don't know.

2:59 Oh geez. I don't.

3:02 I wouldn't be surprised if you were super smart.

3:05 Really. You seem super smart.

3:07 I could. I could see that.

3:09 Like really you think? Yeah.

3:11 Which is kind of funny because I was like basically like retarded

3:14 in high school. We don't say that word.

3:17 OK, fine. We're not I.

3:18 Was in the special needs classes in high school.

3:20 You took a short bus basically. Really not.

3:24 Not essentially special needs or learning disability LDI.

3:29 Was I had an IEP? What's an IEP?

3:32 Individual educational plan. Did you go to charter school?

3:36 No, it was public. So I went to public school all

3:40 like like pre-K all the way up until like 8th grade and then

3:43 high schools when I went to a career in technical Academy my

3:46 first two years and then after I went to a public school for my

3:48 last two years of high school. Because like charter schools are

3:53 good for individual plans. I think of what you're talking

3:55 about. I think that's actually like an

3:56 advantage of a charter school. It's like it's still a public

3:59 school, but is. Charter like private.

4:01 It's no, it's like it's a privatized public school, which

4:06 that's why Republicans like it. No, mine was pure public.

4:11 It was a true public. Yeah, mine was true public too.

4:14 Like it was a public school. Yeah.

4:15 Like little small town cornfield.

4:19 Like the biggest city, like I was in like Cedar City for a hot

4:22 2nd, but then I went to like, where's that?

4:24 It's in the bottom corner of Utah.

4:27 Bottom corner of Utah SO. It's only like 2 or 3 hours away

4:31 from Las. Vegas.

4:31 I was going to say, really the bottom part of Utah probably

4:35 isn't that far from Vegas in general.

4:36 It's only three to three 2-3 hours a week, I.

4:38 Wouldn't see that very far. So, but like, no, yeah, majority

4:41 of my like educational, like growing up, it wasn't in Las

4:43 Vegas. Like as far as grade school

4:44 goes, it was all in Vegas. Vegas Public Schools, are they

4:47 are they any good? Yeah, I think so.

4:50 But again, Illinois has. Great public schools.

4:53 Probably not as good as Illinois, but like I was like

4:55 because I again, I was also like in like the pre like not pre-K,

4:59 but like I was like in like I wasn't in the special Ed

5:03 classroom, but I was the kid that was the like that I was the

5:07 reason why there was a same teacher assistant in all the

5:10 classrooms. Nice.

5:12 Like I was that kid. I was the reason for that second

5:14 teacher. Oh jeez, so did you act up a lot

5:17 not. Necessarily, No, I wasn't.

5:19 I didn't have any behavioral issues.

5:21 Mine was all like educational like inhibitors.

5:24 So I literally only had a talking problem.

5:29 Go figure, right? I'm not surprised if I did not

5:32 like the subject to talk to in high school.

5:35 I never shut up. Like I just, I never shut up

5:37 like I just, it was really hard for me to focus.

5:40 So on what? Pay attention.

5:41 So how many subjects did you actually like?

5:43 So I'd imagine only like 3. No, I.

5:46 I throughout the entire night of a school year.

5:48 I'd imagine you only would have like 3 topics.

5:50 OK, hold. On let me just Jesus girl.

5:53 Like hold on. OK, so French was my biggest 1.

5:58 I loved French. I loved French just to get all

6:00 four years of high school. I loved my French.

6:02 I have a teacher. I have a story about my French.

6:05 Well, we're talking about me now.

6:06 I know. So I'm sorry, and then I'll

6:07 tell. You I loved my French teacher, I

6:09 was actually her student aid senior year so French was a good

6:14 one. Always pay attention.

6:15 I was like an A+B plus student. Like always A or B science or

6:20 biology. Biology specifically.

6:22 Always great student. Luck.

6:24 You do bio or chemistry first? Bio.

6:27 You did bio first? So did we bio then chem now what

6:33 would have came after that? I guess anatomy, Physiology,

6:37 you. Has for seniors.

6:40 You had the option to take anatomy or AP Bio, and then I

6:45 guess you didn't really have to take anything your fourth year

6:47 unless you want to take AP Chem too.

6:49 I took AP Bio so I actually had college credits before I even

6:52 got to college 'cause there's like.

6:53 Science one, Science 2, Biology, Chemistry.

6:57 No, wait, is there? I don't know, 'cause like my

6:59 freshman year I did biology, sophomore year I did chemistry.

7:03 Oh, I love biology. I had a great teacher too.

7:05 We loved her. We dissected her frog like the

7:08 like the second month of school. I think we did, yeah.

7:12 We did the frog thing. It was actually very

7:14 underwhelming, very gross, and it was not that fun.

7:17 Like I thought I was expecting way too, way more out of that

7:22 whole experiment. Literally all you do is just you

7:24 cut the frog open and you take out like there was a girl in my

7:27 class under fatty pockets and then that's it.

7:29 Like, that's it, that's it. I think someone had to leave.

7:36 A girl in my class threw up and then also it was very

7:38 underwhelming for me to do the frog.

7:39 And the anatomy class dissects the cats.

7:43 I was getting there so we dissected.

7:45 So when I was like a kid, like still in like barely Cedar City,

7:49 like it's like I was, we moved when I was like in second grade

7:51 or something. But before that, before we moved

7:54 to Vegas, officially, my mom was going back to school for her

7:57 nursing degree and she took anatomy Physiology.

8:00 And so she had four kids as well.

8:02 So while two of the two younger brothers were at daycare, me and

8:05 my sister were like at home during summer school.

8:08 Like there was another like school during summer.

8:10 So we were at like home, but my mom had school so she had to

8:13 take us with her to her and had me Physiology class.

8:16 So me and my sister, we got to sit in on a lot of her

8:21 dissections and we got to help her dissect a pig, a frog and a

8:25 pig. Yeah, a fetal pig.

8:26 The fuck. So the fuck was very

8:28 underwhelming. I'll get the frog.

8:31 The frog was very underwhelming. I didn't get to really do any

8:34 other kind of like, dissecting or anything in that I can think

8:36 of in high school. No, I mean, in high school, we

8:38 only did the frog. And I even thought I was going

8:41 to be like, go into science when I got to college.

8:44 Really. Oh, yeah.

8:44 As your major, like you were going to be a part of STEM.

8:46 Well, I was going to try. You try.

8:49 They weeded me out. How so?

8:51 It was really hard once you get to college.

8:54 I'm in college. It was it was hard.

8:56 It was I it just, it gets you to a point where you realize you

9:00 don't have a passion for science anymore.

9:03 It is it doesn't connect to that point.

9:04 I do believe that's any college. I think that's the wedding it

9:07 out. Like they just, they make it so

9:09 difficult that you're like, I really just don't have a passion

9:11 for this anymore. And so you just like you get

9:13 over it. There's a lot of like people who

9:17 go to college and change majors because once they gather time,

9:19 unless they figure it out, like once they're like, oh, I want to

9:21 do this for my life. As we figured out, I like.

9:23 Let's switch it. That's why I'm all for Gen. eds.

9:27 You have to take Gen. eds first of all.

9:29 General education. Yeah, like, yeah, because first

9:32 of all, you don't want a doctor does need to know everything, I

9:36 mean. Essentially they they, but they

9:38 don't need to know about art literacy.

9:40 OK, but what if that doctor was going through college and just

9:44 realized I don't want to be a doctor, I want to go into art,

9:47 you know, like, well, then how would he have known?

9:49 Of course A. Semester for it.

9:50 Well, how would he know if he didn't take that Gen.

9:52 Ed? So that's why I'm saying I think

9:54 Gen. eds are actually. I realize that that is, I

9:57 realize the argument when it comes to college.

10:00 What's the argument? The argument is that why am I,

10:03 well, like what you're saying? Why does I'm going to be a

10:05 doctor? Why do I need to learn about art

10:07 history or art philosophy or, I don't know, some jerk off

10:11 subject? But I get that.

10:15 And it they say it drives up the pricing of college because you

10:17 have to take that class in order to graduate.

10:19 You know, why can't I just take all the doctor courses?

10:22 But I just I don't agree with that because the general Ed or

10:25 the I don't agree with any. I don't agree with the mindset

10:29 of Gen. eds are useless. I I just I understand they

10:33 weren't I'm not saying you dude. I'm saying keep the the the

10:36 argument towards the price of an education in this country.

10:41 That's crazy. Yes, has been driven is driven

10:43 help pretty much driven up by general educations, the general

10:49 education classes that or it helps it anyways.

10:53 So I if I'm making any sense. You are but OK every every

10:57 degree field, every degree field you do have your general

11:00 educational classes like your courses like like literacy, not

11:04 just like English flip basically is a general educational course

11:08 that everyone needs to take in order to get the degree.

11:11 But there's like majority of your degree plan is categorized

11:15 and subject for your specific career or degree plan going.

11:19 For but the other classes that are deemed as useless to your

11:22 career. I know, but people say that it

11:26 drives up the price of college and that it is somewhat useless

11:32 to your career. It a doctor doesn't need to know

11:35 about art history in order to, I don't know, check my prostate.

11:39 No, no, no. Sarah at least turn my head and

11:42 cough, No, not really. But although all the general

11:46 education courses that I have like me, I think math is

11:48 pointless. Like for my degree, my degree

11:50 plan, I think it's pointless. The only math class I have to

11:52 take that is going towards my degree is statistics.

11:58 I took statistics one time, which I'm OK with, but I don't

12:01 need precalculus on my degree, no.

12:03 I didn't take statistics, I took trigonometry.

12:06 Am I same thing? I don't need that for my.

12:07 I don't need that for psychology.

12:08 I didn't need it either, but I funny story we let's see, I

12:15 think it was the first exam we tried to cheat off.

12:19 I just tried to cheat off my friends.

12:20 I didn't even bother for trig Oh, I just I didn't even bother

12:23 studying. I didn't trig trig, Yeah, so I

12:27 tried to cheat off them, but then like halfway through or not

12:30 like even halfway through, like probably a few questions and.

12:33 That process audio. It was we.

12:35 It was an AB test, so I had an A test.

12:38 You had AB test. So you were so I.

12:41 Was fucked. I was really fucked.

12:45 However, I did still pass that class because.

12:48 Then I got a test. Got that test.

12:50 I had that test. I had two more exams.

12:52 It was only 10 week terms at this college.

12:54 Yeah, ours is a trimesters, so I so I only had three exams.

12:59 Oh, we had call our other flex like flex is like 8 weeks.

13:02 And Oh my God, that sounds horrible.

13:04 Yeah. So we have the entire 16 week

13:06 course in like 8 weeks. So we have like half the time to

13:09 do it all. So I had two two more exams and

13:12 when he wasn't looking my friend and I switched and she took my

13:15 exam and her exam. How much you pay her.

13:19 How much did you pay her? I did it.

13:21 They didn't even have to. We just would party afterwards.

13:24 She just she just she was a really good friend and then she

13:27 had to like fuck up her handwriting a little bit.

13:31 So she was like writing like really like right with the left

13:33 hand. Obviously she was writing like

13:35 really sloppy and everything. So it didn't look like she was a

13:38 genius. Biata, if you're ever listening,

13:40 you saved me in that class. And actually that that math

13:45 class somehow still the translated I guess is the right

13:50 word. The card of transferred.

13:51 Untransferred, transferred. Yeah, it's not transferred over

13:55 even after all these years. That would have been 2010.

13:58 And I transferred my credits in 2024 to the University of

14:01 Wisconsin from that butt hole college I went to and.

14:06 Lucky you in. Suburbs of Chicago I'm.

14:08 Glad they were able to transfer over.

14:09 Some didn't, though. Of course not.

14:10 They're not. All of them will.

14:11 But I will say, people are full of shit when they talk about

14:17 what you should do about your college, about your college,

14:20 whatever you're doing with college.

14:21 What do you mean? OK, but what?

14:22 What do you mean? They're both because they're

14:24 objective. They're full of fucking shit.

14:26 When people say your college expired, you're gonna have to

14:29 start all over again. And then, and then I, I've heard

14:31 it all. And then I've heard that these

14:33 certain credits expire, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

14:37 And then it's only the stem ones expire.

14:40 And then I found out like none of it was true.

14:43 I transferred all my credits. We're talking hold on, hold on,

14:47 we're talking 1314 years since these credits have ever even.

14:52 I mean, I really had to dust off the cobwebs and almost a lot of

14:58 the credits did transfer, but it wasn't the ones none of the ones

15:01 that you need us that the people, no, that the people said

15:04 wouldn't transfer. They all did.

15:06 Even my let me move my cat. She's like she she had her tail

15:13 up in your yes, I'm so sorry. So no, but it was it was

15:16 literally the classes that they said wouldn't transfer and I'd

15:20 have to take everything over again.

15:21 Only they're only available for like 10 years.

15:25 It was bullshit. It was all bullshit.

15:27 My math class, that trigonometry class that I was just talking

15:30 about absolutely transferred and I did not have to take a math

15:35 class to to graduate. Congratulations.

15:39 Well, it was just it was, it was.

15:41 Oh my God, that was just such a celebration.

15:43 Oh, no more math Because I was, I was dreading the math.

15:46 I really I'm not looking forward to mine.

15:48 In the next semester I'm doing my math class.

15:50 I'm not looking forward to it, but.

15:52 The bio and the chem, none of that transferred, so that part

15:56 was true, but the math did transfer.

15:58 Well, that's because bio biology and chemistry, they were kind of

16:01 like always updating. That one that would those did

16:04 not I did have to take just a a bio one O 1.

16:08 Just a refresh. Online refresh.

16:10 I mean literally the anatomy of a cell.

16:14 You don't get what is a mitochondria like.

16:17 It's the Super basic science one O 1.

16:22 Since we're honored, what is the what is the mitochondria?

16:24 The powerhouse cell but the energy but for you and it

16:28 produces the ATP. But for you, I'm happy.

16:30 I know my shout I did. I did use AI through that whole

16:34 class though because it was so easy.

16:36 I know. Don't give me that luck.

16:41 I did. I did pretty much use Jeff.

16:44 Hear me out. Do you hear me?

16:45 Don't even actually do you use. I didn't even use a book to be.

16:48 Fair to fucking tragedy BT To be fair I didn't that was the only

16:53 online class I had to take so I just it was a blow off class

16:57 totally. Even the counselor said she was

17:00 like this is going to be such an easy class for you.

17:02 I know you have to retake a bio credit but this one would be

17:04 like the easiest 1 you could take.

17:06 And I'm like you were not kidding.

17:08 ChatGPT took the whole class for me.

17:11 But also took your psychology class too so.

17:13 But it was so easy. It was stuff I already knew and

17:15 it was like. No I didn't ChatGPT.

17:17 I'm like because I don't. I didn't want to have to write a

17:20 short answer about am I of Chondria when I already know

17:22 what it is and the. Chance for answers for.

17:25 Ben easy. Well, OK, I will agree it was

17:29 almost just as much work to edit the ChatGPT so that they don't

17:35 flag you for using AI. So I probably could have just

17:39 written out the short answer and not and not added use ChatGPT

17:45 and it was almost just as much work to edit.

17:47 So looking back, probably I could have just taken the time,

17:50 but I was also full time student full time musical might have had

17:55 I was in I was doing the prom at that time, which is a dance

17:59 heavy, really hard musical to learn and that.

18:04 So yeah, full time student, full time job and a full time

18:06 musical. Oh yeah, no, I was ChatGPT ended

18:09 up on that class. Fuck yeah.

18:11 Now I've told you about my psychology, my 300 level

18:14 psychology class that I took and I aced that that was in person.

18:17 That was old fashioned paper and pencil teacher standing there

18:22 watching you and I aced that class.

18:24 No, but you don't remember any of it.

18:26 I don't, I don't, I do, I do kind of actually remember.

18:29 I, we, we, because we just talked about the other day about

18:31 like, how is it? I think it is Pavlov that did

18:35 the dog experiment. Was he the dog experiment?

18:38 Yeah, he did a few. So and then Watson might have

18:41 been cats. There was one with cats and.

18:44 I don't remember a Watson and a Cat.

18:46 I don't. I mean, I'm sure there were.

18:47 I might, I might have made-up the name, but there was

18:50 definitely a cat experiment as well.

18:52 No, I do actually remember. Remember we talked about the two

18:55 types of conditioning, classical and operand Concrete.

18:58 Yeah, no, it wasn't concrete. I know.

19:00 Just fucking with my friends. I'm fine with.

19:01 I remember. No, I did good.

19:04 I did good in that class. It was actually, I actually

19:05 surprised myself. Do you ever have that moment in

19:08 your life where you're just like, OK, maybe I can do this?

19:12 Maybe this actually wasn't so bad.

19:15 When I signed back up for college.

19:16 OK, yeah, there's something about just going back to

19:19 college, I think. I don't know if it's just

19:21 college is I? We've talked about this earlier

19:23 too on the podcast of college being easier nowadays is sure is

19:30 it is that, but is it easier or is it just we have more ambition

19:34 as adults than we did because we you know, when you get into

19:36 college, you've already been in doing school for 12 years.

19:39 You're burned out. My just like, fuck it.

19:42 I don't know. My we have a different mind

19:44 frame as adults when we go back to school.

19:46 My educational like career has been kind of like wild honestly,

19:49 So I can't necessarily line spend 2.

19:52 I can't necessarily speak on the masses, but like and I barely I

19:56 had her. I graduated high school with an

19:57 adjusted diploma, which means I did not earn the exact amount of

20:01 credit that I needed for a standard because I just because

20:04 the the IEP right. So the IEP is basically like

20:08 mine was specifically for like in the extra help in learning

20:12 was the curriculum was whatever class it was in the time.

20:15 So me being a rebellion stubborn asshole that I was, I refused to

20:21 learn the material as it was given and like I couldn't

20:26 exactly like. OK, so like I said, I, I had

20:30 trouble learning the material. I had trouble learning the

20:35 material that was given because I, my brain just didn't work

20:39 that way. Like how everyone, how every

20:41 other kids like work to like on the Bell Arc or whatever.

20:44 So remember what I didn't understand what the material

20:46 they're giving me #2 I still had to learn it because I, I still

20:52 had to learn it because I had to, but I didn't want them to

20:55 know that I was learning it. So I was like kind of like

20:59 refusing to learn the way that they were teaching.

21:01 And I had to learn my own way about literally everything that

21:04 they were teaching me. So when I would show my work in

21:07 math, I wouldn't show it the way that they taught us.

21:09 It would be an entirely different way.

21:10 But it's still got the right answer.

21:12 I wouldn't turn like I was the rebellion who would like tell

21:17 the teachers like, no, back off, I don't need you.

21:20 Even though they were like always hovering over my

21:22 shoulder. So I barely I I've technically I

21:25 didn't even pass high school. I didn't graduate unless the if

21:28 it wasn't for that adjusted diploma.

21:30 Interesting. I've never heard of that before.

21:32 An adjusted diploma and then and it took me 3 years to actually

21:36 figure out what I wanted to do to go back to college three

21:38 years after I graduated high school it.

21:40 Took me so long to figure out what I wanted to do.

21:42 It was I I actually didn't know what I wanted to do.

21:47 I just I so it was college was right when I was turned 18, I

21:52 went to a very expensive school in Naperville, IL, which is a

21:56 nice suburb of Chicago. I had no business going to this

21:59 school. I had no idea what I was doing

22:02 Community College, what I had to go to a Community College.

22:04 I could have gone to Community College.

22:06 I just I had to. I didn't want to stay home back

22:09 in stay home another two years. I hated my hometown.

22:12 I I had to because I didn't take my SA TS or AC TS.

22:14 I had to do community. It was just so boring living in,

22:17 you know, northern rural Illinois.

22:19 I had, I had kind of had it because like I'm from Chicago

22:22 land, but it's like a small town outside of the Chicago suburbs.

22:26 Can we circle? Can we circle back to the French

22:28 thing? Yeah, Oh, I love, I love being

22:32 in French. OK, yeah.

22:33 So you love being in French? I hated it.

22:35 Really. Yeah.

22:35 Because of my I love language. How so?

22:37 My. I thought it was going to be

22:38 great and fun. The only thing I took out of

22:40 that class was a shit met Paola, Ian.

22:41 That was it. That's all I learned from that

22:43 class. Also, I got that teacher fired.

22:47 I got my teacher fired. Conniving little W it was.

22:50 It was on good terms. On my part, good terms.

22:52 That was on my part, good terms because So what happened was we

22:56 had to do a test like one of those fucking like vocabulary

22:58 tests for French. And I got it on my paper.

23:02 I got it right, but my neighbor got it wrong.

23:04 It's still recording. Are you doing the sound board?

23:06 Yeah, I was gonna. What?

23:09 Yeah. So basically I got it right.

23:13 And my neighbor, like the person, actually got it wrong.

23:15 His name was Andy. Hi, Andy.

23:18 He got it wrong, but I was my right.

23:20 And so he took the test up to the our first teacher, Mr.

23:22 Bellinger, and what he had said he Andy went took the test up

23:29 and he came back and he told me he was like, yeah, he said that

23:34 you got it right because you're special.

23:39 The French teacher told another student that I was special

23:42 needs. That's awesome.

23:44 Awful. And that he felt like he needed

23:46 to give me like, no, that phone throw that actually is actually

23:50 savage. So like, So what?

23:53 Andy came back and told me that I was like, yeah, no, that's no.

23:57 He was fired a week later. Oh my God.

23:59 I mean he. Was fired a week later.

24:00 Hatefully so. So and I was so sad.

24:04 Because you hit. But French professors, they are

24:07 assholes. The first teacher, they all.

24:10 Are this was in high school, not a professor but it was just a

24:12 teacher. I meant just teachers,

24:14 professors, just any of them. Anyone that has anything to do

24:17 with French is you. Probably French and therefore

24:20 probably an asshole. Well that's because French are

24:23 assholes. Sorry if anyone, but I mean none

24:27 of them were truly French. They were just assholes because

24:29 they wanted to be assholes. Maybe if they're French, that's

24:31 just how they're grown up. It's pretentious.

24:33 I had so my first, my first thing of college that my first

24:37 round of college when I was 18 to like 20 from 2008 to 2010, I

24:42 was 20. One when I went back to college,

24:43 21. I was 34.

24:48 So I was 21, my college right and my psych class, my psych 101

24:51 my my favorite psychology class, the one that I met Thalia in the

24:55 day the semester ended me and my psych professor, we went across

24:59 the street to the gay strip where there was the heat and

25:02 other gay bars. We went to what was that?

25:04 What was that? What was that wasn't the heat,

25:06 it was 1 next to it Sparky's. We went to Sparky's and took

25:09 shots with me, my professor. I'm sorry the girls are having a

25:13 birthday party with a clown right now.

25:14 Congrats to them. I hate clowns.

25:16 Dorothy is about to slam her hand down on a hot dog.

25:20 Clowns terrify me. Speaking of psychology and

25:23 Golden Girls. Yeah, what about?

25:25 Can we talk about the the sleep analysis thing?

25:29 Oh, you haven't hold up. Well, it's really cool.

25:31 I think it's really cool because it's a thing with people falling

25:34 asleep to Golden Girls. Like it's a complete thing.

25:36 People love it. It's like a comfort thing, but

25:38 there actually is a science to it that psychologists and like

25:42 sleep doctors have analyzed. There is actually something to

25:45 it. I know.

25:45 Did you? Did you actually write down the

25:46 references or is this you just forgot the references?

25:49 I just wrote down what you read. What did you have the?

25:52 References right into? Or is it just the material?

25:55 I have it pulled up. Yeah, I.

25:56 Have the references. What website did you use?

25:59 Chat GPC. I'm not gonna accept that as a

26:03 reference. Well, no, these are the ones.

26:04 I've seen them all before. So I've seen these before.

26:07 I've seen the video with the guy, and he walks through the

26:10 Meadow and he's really cute. He's talking to me about the

26:12 psychology. Yeah.

26:13 This is all the same stuff. So brought to you by ChatGPT.

26:18 Yeah, actually, it's Gemini. Yeah.

26:21 Like Google trash GBT. So the the one big thing is

26:26 predictability and comfort. No, wait, no.

26:28 Was that the big thing? I know comfort was, but I don't

26:31 remember predictability being. No, there was.

26:33 I do remember that. I don't think that's the biggest

26:35 one, but like, OK. The show operates a comfort TV

26:38 where familiar dialogue and characters reduce cognitive

26:40 load. Yeah.

26:43 The certainty of a happy ending provides emotional stability.

26:49 That one does make sense. Did you want to expand on the

26:52 first point? As far as what explain say what

26:54 you said again the first point. The show operates as comfort TV.

26:59 No, no, the the what? Keep going.

27:01 What was the other one? Well, the other one is reduced

27:04 anxiety for those with racing thoughts at night.

27:07 That's not the first point. What do you what first point

27:09 were you talking about? The very first one that you said

27:12 reduces cognitive something. Oh, reduce cognitive load.

27:17 The characters reduce cognitive load do.

27:19 You want to explain that or? Shall I?

27:20 Yeah, I think that that would be your territory.

27:22 OK, So cognitive load basically you so cognition is basically

27:26 everything that you're aware of. So when it says reducing

27:29 cognitive load, it's basically saying that you know, you don't

27:32 have to think too hard to process it.

27:35 I appreciate that. You're welcome.

27:37 I'm so glad to have a psychologist in the house.

27:39 You're welcome. Eventually.

27:40 Soon. So oh, this one was like the the

27:43 biggest one that I Love Actually.

27:45 There's this zero threat potential because of the the

27:49 matriarch kind of effect where it like the grandma effect, like

27:54 you have 4 matriarchs that are just like watching over you

27:56 while you sleep. I always thought that that one

27:58 was the cutest thing and I will say that I did.

28:01 I do feel I used to feel the same thing when I would fall

28:03 asleep if you go on the girls every night.

28:05 Now I don't fall asleep to the TV at all.

28:06 I use white noise but it's way healthier for you.

28:10 White noise for TV. The white noise, I don't think

28:13 that I think the TV is actually really bad for you.

28:15 Oh, it does. Like horrible for you because I

28:17 don't think you ever actually fall asleep.

28:19 No, there's a level of cognition that's actually still always

28:22 going to be operating as the TV. Is going, I think I, I think I

28:25 probably slept with the TV on for probably 12 or 13 years till

28:28 I was 25. How dare you.

28:30 That's terrible. It was awful.

28:31 I did set the sleep timer though I will say.

28:34 So like so it turned off after a certain point about an.

28:36 Hour. OK, two hours.

28:39 Two hours actually. So I did.

28:41 I did probably get like 6 hours of sleep that whole time.

28:43 But you still probably felt very unrested.

28:48 Probably a little bit. I probably could have been a

28:49 little bit more rested, but I was also younger back then.

28:52 Now it's like even 8 or 9 hours still isn't enough some nights.

28:58 Yeah. So we have that was that was one

29:01 thing. That was actually the second

29:02 thing. So then there is also the laugh

29:06 track. That was the other thing.

29:07 The laugh track provides like a white like I was.

29:09 Just saying like the one that our the one that we don't have.

29:11 The white noise, the I know we don't have a laugh track on our

29:14 all right. Question.

29:16 Let's see if it works on through this.

29:18 Which one? The laugh track I don't.

29:20 Know, I think we should be down top corner, top, corner, top.

29:23 There we go. That's the laugh track and

29:26 that's the applause. Gave cheers and the Yeah so I.

29:30 Guess we'll find out if those two work.

29:31 But that laugh track isn't like white noise.

29:33 But the laugh track on Golden Girls really kind of is.

29:36 All this episode so sad too by the way.

29:38 This one is really sad and we never get to actually see

29:40 Charlie. There's no never.

29:42 This is the one where Rose is flashing back to after Charlie

29:46 died and she's still in Saint Olaf.

29:47 And it's her first birthday without him.

29:50 She decides to move to Miami after those when she this when

29:54 she decides to tell him that. He.

29:57 Quote UN Quote tell. Him.

29:58 So basically her saying that you made the choice there is.

30:01 Actually, that is one thing that makes me kind of like tear up

30:04 when I go out and you see an old person dining by themselves.

30:08 Oh, that just tears me up. I everyone has a grandparent

30:11 somewhere where I don't they're all dead.

30:13 Well, OK, but avenge at one point, at one point, at one

30:18 point your grandparents there was probably 1 alive and

30:21 probably one had passed away. No, actually.

30:24 They all died within a week of each other.

30:27 Like if my SO no dead ass. They all died within a week of

30:31 each other. Like a Mormon thing.

30:32 No, because it happened on my dad's side too.

30:34 Isn't a Vegas thing. No I mean so basically my on my

30:38 mom's side, my grandparents on my mom's side.

30:40 Same grandparents the entire time.

30:42 They died within like 4 days of each other.

30:44 We found out about my grandpa's passing at my grandma's funeral.

30:48 Oh. And then on my dad's side,

30:52 Grandma Farmer, the dad's mom, she ended up getting divorced

30:57 before she ended up dying. So she was alone for quite some

30:59 time before. So she died single.

31:03 And then the other set on my dad's side, Grandpa Howard and

31:06 Step Martha, Step Monster, they died within like 2 days of each

31:12 other. That's crazy.

31:15 Yeah, they all died within like less than a week of each other.

31:17 So let's see all of my. I think all.

31:21 Of all of yours are still alive, All my you've said this the

31:24 first episode. They're all all my grandparents.

31:25 Are still alive? Yeah, I have all my grandpa.

31:27 Are all still alive, so you have a lot.

31:28 Of grandparents I lost one step grandma but my great

31:31 grandparents were alive gosh I don't think I buried my last

31:35 great grand my last great grandpa would have been 2017 so

31:39 I still had great grandparents up till 2017 my family they

31:44 start young we all they all started young and.

31:47 You're not even Mormon, no. Not at all.

31:50 Just Northern middle class country folk, Catholic.

31:54 No no Baptist. When have you been listening to

31:57 me? The last.

31:59 It's your favorite non practicing Mormon and Baptist

32:03 boy, I thought. That was just a stick.

32:04 How? Well, it is a stick, but it's a.

32:07 It's a true stick. Those are the stick.

32:11 Oh, Speaking of wrapping up sticks, there was one more thing

32:14 on the Goldie ass I had. Psychology.

32:16 The psychology of it. Yeah, golden girl thing.

32:19 It was the what? Why no keep going.

32:25 OK, It was the startle factor. There was.

32:28 There's really, it's just something about like the startle

32:31 factor. Yeah.

32:32 Because there's really no the, it's the, it's something about

32:36 the audio of, of the 80s that they are.

32:39 It doesn't have all the big like jarring transitions and loud

32:43 explosion. Anything's aligned.

32:44 But it started. In the 80s, well, it just didn't

32:46 have any kind of like there was no, there's no startle factor

32:49 with the show or just that well, just but the audio from that

32:52 time is just a little bit more plain than it is now.

32:55 So that's another thing that just kind of.

32:56 Plays. There was no dramatic effect.

32:58 There was no life. Aha moment there's.

33:02 Lots of aha moments in Golden Gross.

33:04 Where have you been? Nothing that was.

33:06 But it's not loud. That's the thing.

33:08 It's just not loud. Anyways.

33:15 Yeah. What now?

33:16 Did you lie to yourself this week?

33:18 Did we even? Do that section last time.

33:20 No, we didn't. How dare we?

33:22 We skipped the lie section. We have to lie to ourselves.

33:25 It's kind of that's our whole thing every day.

33:29 So what did you lie to yourself about?

33:32 You know what I lied to myself about?

33:34 I lied to myself. Every time I get in the shower I

33:36 can never remember to grab a fucking towel.

33:38 I never. I lied.

33:39 I don't have your towels just waiting for you in the bathroom

33:43 sometimes, but that so I might have like 3 towels sitting in

33:47 the bathroom and then I'll like use them up and then probably

33:51 for the next week, I'll keep forgetting and I'll keep walking

33:54 soaking wet over to the dryer in the hallway like I always do.

33:58 I've just been doing I've been doing this my whole I need a

33:59 sign that just hangs on my shower curtain and says grab a

34:03 fucking towel, you idiots. I.

34:05 Think that should be like I'll disclaimer on your door to the

34:07 bathroom. I need I'm also kind of person

34:10 that like I have to leave. I leave like 5 times I walk, I

34:14 walk through my door like 5 times before I actually leave

34:17 because I I go walk outside. I forgot wallet, I forgot a

34:23 bottle of water cheese. If I'm going to the gym, I need

34:26 my little gloves so I don't get calluses on my hands.

34:29 Like I, I walk in and out, in and out and I'll probably five

34:31 times before I actually, I can't even imagine what my neighbors.

34:34 Must think Do you know how bad it is when you drive a

34:36 motorcycle on your calluses when you don't have your gloves?

34:39 Motorcycle. I've never driven a motorcycle.

34:41 I don't intend to. It's so much fun.

34:43 I was driven. A scooter though in Italy it.

34:45 Was really. That's different.

34:46 I drove, I got to drive a scooter around town in Sicily.

34:49 So do you want to know something?

34:50 So when I was first like about to get my license, when I was

34:52 like 1314, whatever, my mom, I've always wanted a motorcycle.

34:56 Always, always, always. Why?

34:57 Like what is the appeal? Like it's a death.

34:59 Trap. They're sexy.

35:01 Not really. They're sexy.

35:03 I I always loved them. I've always loved Rd.

35:04 Rash in a broken hip just doesn't sound interesting to me.

35:08 But it's hot though. Is it hot?

35:11 I disagree. Very hot when you're sliding.

35:13 When you're sliding against the gravel, it's hot.

35:15 Girl you like you burn yourself. It's hot.

35:17 Literally hot. You're really selling it.

35:19 I know right? So I always wanted a motorcycle

35:22 and like my mother when I told her I was like, I want a

35:24 motorcycle when I get my license, right.

35:26 And she was like. How about a moped?

35:30 I think they're that. No, I think those are cute.

35:33 I can see. I can see what you're saying.

35:35 A motorcycle is sexy. I look at her.

35:38 I looked at her. When she said the moped thing I

35:39 was like, bite your tongue. Never on your life will I drive

35:43 a moped. But they're kind of cute.

35:45 Too. Now only.

35:46 Only if I'm ever in Italy or somewhere in Europe.

35:49 That was literally why I was driving.

35:50 On what would be the only reason why I drive a moped is because

35:52 like the American roads are not facilitated for mopeds.

35:55 Not really, no. And and you can't go like, so

35:59 we're like. 60 miles an hour. Yeah.

36:00 You can't go on, I think on any kind of like in a safe road or

36:04 anything outside of like 40-50 miles an hour.

36:07 Nope. Like, I don't know if you could

36:09 get to like the Gulch from here. No, I wouldn't be able to unless

36:13 I were to take Lebanon all the way down.

36:14 You would have to take yeah, and it would just take you forever.

36:17 Yeah, I'm not trying to do that. It would take you forever and

36:19 then you'd be kind of driving through some not so great

36:21 neighborhoods sometimes too, all the time.

36:23 So there's that, which is why you demoticized 'cause you have

36:26 to get on the highway to get to like the Gulch from where I'm

36:28 at. Also on the highway.

36:30 Also the reason why I said no to moped is because I'm not trying

36:33 to have like if you were to drive any type of like 2 wheeled

36:37 vehicle you I'm already gay like I need some authority like I

36:44 need demand authority when I show up.

36:46 I can't drive a moped up to work and be like maybe like I can't

36:50 do that. I need some authority like love

36:52 to see. I need like like I need

36:55 something that demands authority.

36:56 Like I'm already gay. Like I can't have people look

36:58 down on me. I know, so I need some

37:00 authority. So if.

37:01 We were like big Butch lumberjack guys.

37:03 We could probably get away because we already look like

37:06 lumberjack masculine guys. We could probably get away with

37:09 their cute mopeds because we because they're already they're

37:12 already lumberjack. We'd be intimidating.

37:15 No, not us. Like that's why I don't even

37:18 try, like I, I don't even try to even have any type of road rage

37:22 or any type of fit in with people or anything because I am

37:25 not intimidating. I am not about to fight anybody

37:28 because everyone is ready to fight me.

37:31 Everyone because I'm not intimidating.

37:33 Yeah, I'm unusually strong for my size.

37:35 I've been told though. I just, I've been told that I do

37:38 have some strength to me for comparing for like what I for

37:41 what I look like because I look scrawny as fuck.

37:43 Well, I mean I do, but I am muscle.

37:45 I do attribute that you to your farming.

37:48 Asked as far as why you have like some type of like hidden

37:51 muscle that could be to it but it also could be just like the

37:55 fact that you go to the gym everyday well I do work out I

37:57 have to work out I have to work out I I sit there at that

38:01 computer right that that desk in that computer right there for 40

38:05 hours a week. I have to get out and work out,

38:07 but I think I think the farm, the farm hold on the farm thing

38:10 could probably be some of it, but I also.

38:12 Do just hold? On me I did.

38:14 Hold on. You.

38:16 You, you got to work on. Cut me off, girl.

38:18 You coming off all the time, all the time and I don't interrupt.

38:22 You, I have a homecourt advantage.

38:28 OK, go. That's the moped thing.

38:31 Go. No, that's basically it.

38:32 And then we're going to talk more golden.

38:34 I just need something to that demands authority.

38:36 That's the only thing why I need a motorcycle.

38:38 I can't not have a motorcycle if I'm on A2 wheel vehicle.

38:40 It needs to be a motorcycle because I need to demand

38:42 authority because I'm more, I'm not intimidating looking.

38:45 If I had a motorcycle then it's like already like, oh, he's a

38:47 bad ass. I feel like you're more

38:49 intimidating than me. Oh, that's a given.

38:52 Well. Now that you agree, now I so now

38:56 I feel lousy. Sorry, but that's a that's a

38:59 given. I could have at least said, Oh

39:01 no, darling. I can't lie like that.

39:05 Very intimidate. It's OK.

39:07 Come here. I can't.

39:08 Lie at that. No, I'm not a liar like that.

39:11 I'm not a fan of motorcycles, I think they're a death trap and

39:14 if anything happened to you I would be so heartbroken.

39:18 Motorcycle for you? Good.

39:19 Things already did happen to me with motorcycles.

39:21 Oh, but before I met you so no more motorcycles.

39:24 If you if I lost you, I would just I would be I would one I

39:28 had one when you did meet me. I don't care.

39:30 Is it gone now? It is because the bitch totalled

39:32 it good. I'm glad it's gone.

39:34 But it also caused you don't need a motorcycle.

39:36 But it also caused me like a week in jail and a shit ton of

39:38 Rd. burn. I'm going to call your mother.

39:41 She already did. You missed it.

39:42 You missed the opportunity. I'm going to call your mother

39:44 and tell her to never let you have a motorcycle or anything

39:47 ever get. Oops, this one.

39:49 Sounds like, and it sounds like you're already getting in

39:52 accidents and everything. They're not in accidents #1 #2

39:57 any all accidents that happened while I was on a motorcycle was

40:00 not my fault. The one bitch sideswiped me and

40:02 the other bitch rolled like ran over me.

40:05 So they were not my fault. She.

40:06 Ran over you. Yeah, I had to crawl up from

40:08 under her car. And you still on a motorcycle

40:11 that but I don't understand See, I don't understand.

40:14 This see, most people are like you're not traumatized.

40:16 I was like, no, I'm not traumatized.

40:18 If anything, I'm traumatized of red vehicles now because that's

40:21 the bitch that hit me. No, like anytime I see a red car

40:26 I'm just like, Oh my God. But I'm not like I'm not

40:29 traumatized with motorcycles. I.

40:30 Think that is you're lie to yourself.

40:32 No, only motorcycles are great. They're amazing.

40:35 I think that's that's you're lying to yourself.

40:37 You just don't. There's this one that has an

40:39 extended back wheel that looks like it'd be from Tron that I

40:41 want so bad. Can you get one with like the

40:44 sidecar? And I can like ride with you.

40:46 That'd be hysterical. Sidecar.

40:48 That'd be both historical and funny.

40:50 And two twongs. Motorcycle trip.

40:54 It's actually actually long term trips on motorcycles are

40:56 actually very exhausting and very draining and it hurts you,

40:58 No. I don't want to fucking do that.

40:59 Are you kidding me? I'll hurt slugs you would eat on

41:02 that trip. That's why you have helmets.

41:04 That's why they have helmets. Remember when you made fun of me

41:06 for wanting to fly? Yeah, that's why we have

41:07 helmets. All the bugs.

41:09 Well, maybe I want to fly with a helmet.

41:11 Maybe that was the answer to it the whole time.

41:13 You never thought you wanted a helmet though.

41:14 Well now I now I maybe I do want a helmet when I do fly.

41:18 I'll get 2. I want to fly.

41:19 I'll get 2. No.

41:22 So would you still be? Flapping your arms as wings?

41:24 Or would you have your own set of wings?

41:26 Or would you just be kind of levitating?

41:30 What would I want? Levitating.

41:31 Kind of like levitating. Wings.

41:34 Wings are sexy, you know, I want big white wings.

41:38 I'd want black ones like an Angel.

41:40 I'd want black wings because you're the Angel of death.

41:44 No, I just want black wings because Amanda.

41:47 Deal. According to the Lucifer series,

41:50 he has black wings and he's got his favorite son.

41:52 Yeah. He's so hot.

41:53 Not Lucifer series. Lucifer or Amanda deal?

41:56 Lucifer Tom Welling. Oh, Tom Welling.

41:59 Tom Ellis. Tom Ellis.

42:00 Tom Welling's hot too, though. What episode is this?

42:05 I don't know. I don't really.

42:06 I'm having big attention. This is this Golden Girls watch

42:09 party you're not watching. I mean, I'm watching you on your

42:12 face. I can't tell what one it is

42:15 without without hearing it. I thought I knew.

42:19 I thought I knew this show by like the back of my hand, but I

42:22 can. I feel like I can kind of

42:23 picture it. Of course you could.

42:26 I don't could picture Golden Girls.

42:28 I don't know. I can't tell.

42:29 It's really hard. That's OK, we don't need it.

42:34 So what else? What did I lie to myself about

42:37 this week? And you got to lie to yourself

42:39 about something. There's many lies.

42:42 Mine. Mine is my my towel dilemma.

42:44 I will never be able to get into the shower without grabbing a

42:47 towel there's or without forgetting to grab a towel.

42:49 There's a lot, there's a lot of lies I told myself this week.

42:53 And. I don't know.

42:57 I want to like because if I go into them, there's going to be

42:59 like even more of a deep dive like, and I'm be a lot like

43:04 going to be a lot of unpacked and we'll have like 20 minutes

43:05 left. Bum, bum, bum.

43:12 There should have been a higher pitch like that's what it should

43:16 have been. No, only because we're not

43:17 intimidating. We just talked about being

43:19 intimidating or trying to be intimidating.

43:23 There's my nose, I. Really hope that they get.

43:27 I really have the soundboard picks up on this application

43:30 though. We just.

43:31 I think we're gonna upgrade. I think we're gonna upgrade.

43:33 We're gonna finish this season, guys.

43:35 We're gonna finish this season out.

43:36 We appreciate you sticking with us.

43:39 We've been really, it's been. We've been.

43:41 I think we've been I. Think this would be 8 or 10?

43:43 This has been a lot of fun. Honestly, I've I've actually

43:46 really enjoyed it. The podcasting, yeah, it's so

43:49 much fun. Yeah, I think it's fun.

43:53 What it is? I know it gives me an excuse.

43:58 To get out of the house, I'm just out of material.

44:01 It gives me excuse to get out of the house.

44:02 It is no. But in all honesty, like, I

44:04 mean, I don't, I mean, OK, the likelihood.

44:08 Like I don't know if I said this on the podcast last time or not,

44:11 but like Thalia, I think I told you like it was her original

44:15 idea. I know I told you this already

44:17 but I don't know if it was on podcast like she had initially.

44:20 Like wanted to start a podcast with me.

44:23 Yeah, I didn't say that. I don't know if I said on the

44:25 podcast though. I think it might have been this

44:30 last episode that we probably aren't going to hear.

44:32 OK, so I had said well. Technical difficulty The

44:35 technical difficulty episode. So what I had said was that my

44:40 best friend Shalia, hi girl, shout out to you is that she had

44:46 messaged me and we had talked about getting up like starting a

44:48 podcast the other way before like 3 years prior to this, like

44:54 showing interest in like getting a podcast, the starting one in

44:56 yadda, yadda, yadda, like the first time I've achieved to

44:59 Tennessee and so and I had already kind of like pre started

45:04 one, but it was a terrible idea. It was an awful idea.

45:08 My initial podcast was white privileged.

45:10 That was the name of it. Oh, I do remember.

45:12 Yeah, we did talk about this, Yeah.

45:14 She thought it was kind of a good idea though.

45:16 But like, nothing came about it. Nothing came of it.

45:19 I'm still trying to grasp the concept of it.

45:21 So basically I would sit down every week and just chat with a

45:23 friend who just happens to be of another ethnicity of mine and we

45:27 would talk about like the disadvantages they have amongst

45:29 society versus myself. So just like a lot of reflecting

45:34 on the differences in society and everything for two

45:37 specifically different individuals, Yeah, I can see

45:42 that. I can see that.

45:43 I can see where I mean. We'd also just banter too.

45:45 But but but I could, I guess I would say I feel like you'd be a

45:50 little limited on the content. That's why never.

45:53 That's why nothing gave me. I'm going.

45:54 To say, because you're going to talk to one African American,

45:56 they're going to say that. They're going to say what they.

45:58 Do you know how many? Countries there are in the

45:59 world, you're going to talk to one Asian person.

46:01 Do you know how many countries there are in the world?

46:03 No, I get it, but are you going to find a specific person from

46:06 every single country? I mean that I know a lot of

46:08 people that would just be really difficult.

46:09 You do know a lot of people I'm trying that.

46:11 I would just think that would be a little difficult.

46:13 I have in the Korean here's and the other they probably but then

46:18 but then what happens when they are kind of starts saying the

46:21 same thing? You're just going to be talking

46:23 about the same thing all the time.

46:25 Yeah, this one podcast too, anyways.

46:28 Really, I don't think we talk about the same stuff all the

46:29 time. I think we I think we do a

46:31 pretty good job of keeping variety on the show.

46:37 Why am I getting gross for that? Why am I getting gross for that?

46:42 You know, I take a little offense at that because I am the

46:44 content producer. That is an attack.

46:48 That is an attack. That is an attack.

46:50 It's not an attack, you know what if I if I wanted to attack

46:53 our technical producer, why are we re re recording this show?

46:58 OK, so last time. Why was there an echo throughout

47:02 our entire show? I already apologize and hey, I

47:05 gave you Sir I had. Given you an explanation as to

47:07 why we might have had the echo, I don't know why.

47:10 I don't know what was for certain.

47:11 OK, I. Don't know what happened, I

47:13 forgive you, but it happened. It happened, and here we are

47:15 regardless, it happened, it did. But it's OK.

47:18 I actually am thinking, I'm thinking this show is actually

47:21 flowing a little bit better than that one did yeah, a little bit,

47:24 yeah. And I definitely got to talk

47:26 about like my golden girl psychology that I want to talk

47:29 about. And I just want to talk about.

47:31 Golden Girls A little bit. Only because gays love Golden

47:35 Girls. Yeah, actually I was I.

47:38 Was older gays? Do I was wondering if maybe you

47:40 wanted to do just a little bit of Golden Girl trivia?

47:43 Sure, why not? Let's do it.

47:45 OK, But a lot of the older gays like Gen.

47:47 X and like gays love Golden Girls.

47:51 Gen. Gen.

47:52 Z. Millennials, they it's a hit or

47:54 miss with millennials. Gen.

47:55 Z, they have no idea what we're talking about.

47:57 OK, I will say though, friends really sticks out with Gen.

48:01 ZI just opposite door Gen. XI know and you would think that

48:07 they wouldn't. I would.

48:08 You would think that they wouldn't like that one because

48:09 there's still a lot of complaints with friends,

48:11 especially about like diversity of the show.

48:14 I'm all white friends. I'm just diversity.

48:17 I'm very much a Joey, though. I'm very Joey.

48:21 No, friends definitely did. I don't I don't know about

48:24 Golden Girls really actually flying with Gen.

48:28 Z. Maybe, maybe, maybe those maybe.

48:30 Yeah, Gen. Z they hardly know.

48:31 They like if they know that one day.

48:33 It had a lot of like older gay influences.

48:35 That one just didn't translate over.

48:36 I know Friends said. OK, so I I do have a few

48:38 questions for you. I want I do want to test your

48:40 Golden Girl trivia shoot. Which golden girl?

48:45 Are there some questions the last time?

48:47 No. OK, continue then.

48:49 Sorry, first question. It's so which golden girl

48:53 actually hated cheesecake in real life?

48:57 Rue. No, not Rue.

48:59 She loves. She's like, I mean bland and no

49:01 La La la not bland. Sweet God, Dorothy, final

49:05 answer. That's your final answer,

49:07 Dorothy, The waste. Awesome.

49:13 Awesome. You got that one right.

49:18 Love that one. So what is Sophia's famous catch

49:25 phrase to start a story? When she starts a story or does

49:28 a catch phrase? When she start?

49:29 When she starts a story. Picture Sicily 1849 or

49:33 something, whatever year she says.

49:36 What? Yes.

49:38 I don't know the exact year, but it's always like, picture

49:39 Sicily. Awesome, awesome.

49:44 OK, this one's a little bit harder, actually.

49:45 Oh, this one's a little bit harder.

49:46 Next one, next question. She only says it in a couple

49:51 episodes actually, so you might have to really like, OK, what is

49:57 Blanche's middle name and what is her initials Elizabeth.

50:01 BED. You did know that one?

50:07 Her initials spelled bad. Awesome.

50:15 Awesome that I did know I did. I did that one for a fact.

50:19 Now I'm I'm actually really impressed that you knew that

50:22 one, because I thought I was going to finally trick you.

50:23 No, sorry. I figured that one.

50:25 OK, OK, OK. Anymore.

50:27 What is the name of the male house?

50:33 May I go? What would you call him?

50:36 The hub boy. Houseboy.

50:37 I guess he was their houseboy. Yeah, with the male houseboy in

50:40 the first episode, Diego. And bonus points if you know why

50:44 they took him off. Diego because of Sofia.

50:48 It was not Diego, but you are correct on the Sofia thing

50:51 because everyone loves Sofia more than no.

50:55 It was Coco. It was Coco.

50:57 Look it up. I.

50:57 Promise the names dude was Coco it was.

50:59 Coco, it was Coco. I promise you there is a male.

51:03 Look, I know that first episode. I know that Coco.

51:06 I didn't know the name. It was Coco.

51:08 Coco, I promise you. What a faggot.

51:10 I know what a Mark Cherry wrote the show, so he had to have a

51:16 gay character in there somewhere.

51:18 And they have many gay sons in the series afterwards.

51:21 So the Sofia thing is true, though.

51:25 Yeah. That you were, you were.

51:26 You were right on that one. She was actually supposed to

51:28 just be a guest star like once in a while.

51:31 Like Betty White was kind of like character, like how Betty

51:34 White was to that one. Mary Tyler Moore.

51:37 No, The older one or the more newer 10 Hot in Cleveland, that

51:42 one. Yeah, I actually didn't know

51:44 that that she was just, I thought she was like the head

51:46 honcho of the show because she was kind of like a recreation of

51:48 golden. Girl, no.

51:49 She so basically in Hot in Cleveland she was the landlord

51:54 and was always talking in the first episode.

51:55 I did not know that. Only the It's great that they

51:58 kept her though. But no, they kept Sophia on the

52:00 show because the audience actually liked her more.

52:02 And there was something about the girls that they said maybe

52:07 they don't. We have to remember this was

52:09 back in the day, this is the 80s.

52:11 So they threw the male character on there because it was a male

52:16 dominated world back then. They didn't think that the

52:18 ladies could all do it by themselves.

52:20 They thought that they had a male.

52:21 But I'll say, according apparently to the audiences,

52:24 they just thought, no, the women were all strong enough on their.

52:26 Own and also, did you know that Betty White was the first person

52:28 to have a African American person on her show?

52:31 Yes, which is why it only lasted like a season.

52:33 I did know that. And then she was warned against

52:36 it and she said oh wow, yeah, season, I'm going to off him.

52:39 Fuck off. Now, so it ended up ending.

52:42 And then? But the Golden Groves also did

52:44 kind of the four, the four woman show type show with four women.

52:50 Are there any others the size of Hot in Cleveland?

52:52 Sex and City. Yeah, Hot in Cleveland.

52:54 I don't like the show in the city.

52:56 I like the movie. Hold on, but there has to be.

52:57 Others too, I just can't think about it.

52:59 OK hold on. ChatGPT shows with.

53:05 Four leading exercise. Women, I know that there's more

53:11 wow, I did not type that in. Very designing women living

53:14 single. Desperate Housewives was

53:18 designing Women was designing women before or after golden.

53:23 I think it would have been came out a little bit.

53:27 I was going to say after designing, I think I thought

53:30 designing women would have been a little bit more for 90s

53:34 whereas Golden Groves was mid 80s.

53:36 I thought those opposite. I thought those were switched.

53:38 Well, you know what, Chad? GPTI can look that up right now.

53:43 When? So Golden Girls definitely came

53:45 out in 1985. I know that for a fact.

53:47 Yeah. Oh, this is the boring episode.

53:50 This is the empty nest episode. These are the really, really bad

53:53 episodes that literally no one likes.

53:55 Well, that's why we're not watching them, so let's.

53:57 We're really not watching them. So let's continue on with the

53:59 Four Women Show shows. Designing Women actually did it

54:03 that one. It did come out the same time.

54:05 Was it the same time Golden Girl?

54:06 It just came out a year later. Golden Girls came out in 85.

54:08 Designing Women was 86. Oh, it worked.

54:10 So all right, which one would last longer?

54:13 Which one had the most seasons? Let's see which one's here.

54:21 Well, I know Golden Girls stopped in 92 because it was

54:24 seven seasons. Because.

54:28 One of them died. B No, B Arthur didn't want to do

54:30 it anymore because they. Oh yeah, because she got mad.

54:32 They kept making fun of her and she had finally had it.

54:34 I think there's something about contracts that.

54:37 I'm sure there were. Over 7 year, seven years was

54:42 kind of the the limit, the like where the contract that was

54:45 where the contract would like renew and or renew or whatever.

54:50 Yeah. But then they had the Golden

54:53 Palace afterwards they did Designing Women ran for seven

54:59 seasons as well. They I would I think both those

55:03 shows were pretty successful, but I would say Golden girls way

55:07 more popular and successful because it like the the the

55:12 designing women were like all like younger.

55:17 So. Wouldn't you say it's a little

55:19 bit funnier when it's older ladies being goofy?

55:22 It just adds to the humor more. As far as like gay culture goes,

55:25 I do think the designing woman was appealed more towards the

55:27 genetics. Era and they had a male in there

55:29 too. They had a guy in there too.

55:31 They said The Golden Girls didn't even need a guy because

55:34 they were strong enough on their own.

55:35 So I think that says something about the show too, that they,

55:37 these ladies still needed a man in the show.

55:41 How long did the male last? Or was it in every season?

55:44 In this one, oh, I don't know, I never watched Designing Women.

55:48 That's what I'm saying. Like I think designing women was

55:49 more appealing to the Gen. X gays versus like millennials.

55:53 I never watched that. I don't know why, but like

55:56 designing women imprinted a lot heavier on the Gen.

56:00 Xers versus millennials. Because like, if you, if you're

56:04 to ask RuPaul, he would say designing women to the hands

56:07 down was more like his ally versus Golden Girls.

56:12 We did have an entire like lip sync section from Designing

56:15 Women that he had. There is this really awesome.

56:18 Oh God, what? What is the what is?

56:21 The dialogue, the monologue about when she says like that,

56:24 she throws the baton up and hit the lights and it's sparkle.

56:27 That is the last time the lights went out on Atlanta or

56:29 something. No, it's something along the

56:31 line. OK.

56:32 It's one of the ladies. Which one is it?

56:34 The part not retailer. It's it's not, Yeah.

56:39 There's. Marjorie, Miss.

56:41 Just type in Miss Marjorie dialogue.

56:43 What was her name? What was her name in real life?

56:46 I don't know. You stopped saying that.

56:48 No, my Marjorie. Stop saying that.

56:50 I'm saying here, get what you're saying.

56:52 But I don't. I'm gonna keep saying it.

56:53 Miss Marjorie. No, Miss Marjorie, it was not

56:58 Dixie. Oh, it is Dixie Carter.

57:00 Yeah, her character. You do it.

57:02 Dixie Carter's character. I think you were talking about

57:04 the same thing where she's going off on the.

57:06 One of the judges. One of the judges and it's

57:09 basically kind of like a very Democratic kind of it's, it's

57:12 used in a lot of Democratic reels on like social media with

57:15 ripping, ripping up, tearing up like Republican arguments.

57:20 If that rant that she does is like it's all over social media.

57:25 That's really the only thing I remember from that show is her

57:27 little rant there. And she just is like rambling it

57:30 off. Click and click and click.

57:32 Yeah, no, it's like, I know she died.

57:35 I said this entire thing like, hold on, She was in Desperate

57:38 Housewives. I do hate how you just shove

57:43 videos of my face. You're welcome all the time.

57:46 You're welcome here. Watch this 10 minute video.

57:48 That's not 10 minutes. So he just hold it and then he

57:50 just holds it in your face entire time there and watch it

57:52 the entire time. You need to understand the

57:54 reference. No, there's a different one.

57:57 There's also that she does this. I think she does it in a

57:59 different scene too. She does a lot.

58:02 Are you me thinking of Dynasty? No, it was definitely her from

58:06 Designing Women Dixie. Cars, because they all have.

58:07 They all look the same honestly, like the old school dynasty.

58:10 Not the new ones, the although Nicolette Sheridan from

58:13 Desperate Housewives is on that show so maybe I should start

58:15 watching it. The new one, the blonde lady,

58:17 the new the new dynasty. You know who else is in it?

58:19 I love her. You know who else is in it?

58:21 Who? Elizabeth Gillies.

58:24 Why? Why can I not picture who that

58:26 is? Elizabeth Gillies was also in

58:28 Victorious with Ariana Grande. I don't.

58:31 I didn't watch that, you act like I should just know.

58:35 You should. Elizabeth Scales was amazing.

58:37 She's a great actress, I think. She I do know who this is.

58:40 I think she should be. The next Megara in the live

58:42 action Hercules. She has been.

58:44 I want her to be in Megara. I.

58:46 Need her to be Megara. In what was that I've seen her

58:52 in? I mean after.

58:54 I know who this is, I just didn't know her name.

58:55 Yeah, after we wrap, I'm going to show you like a scene, like a

58:58 scene of her like just like being a severe cunt to like in

59:02 the shark dynasty. Like she's amazing.

59:03 I need her to be Megara and Hercules.

59:06 Like I think it was the remake of Vacation that I must have

59:10 seen her in. That's the only thing I can

59:11 think of with Christina Applegate.

59:14 Are you going through IMDb? No.

59:16 And it was the. Yeah, but when?

59:18 OK, so you know the vacation movies, obviously right now no

59:21 one opens Vacation. No.

59:22 OK, we're not having this conversation.

59:24 Then skip it. That's fine, we're out an hour

59:26 anyways. We're that's fine.

59:27 I am going to pull a veto card on my 2 truths and a lie because

59:32 I didn't make one and I don't remember.

59:34 Do 1. I can do 1.

59:36 I feel bad making you do it two weeks in a row.

59:38 I can do it in two weeks in a row.

59:39 I just need to I always forget. No, I I don't always forget.

59:44 It's just it's really hard for me to remember to do my teachers

59:47 and a lie. So sometimes I'll do it like

59:49 while we're sitting here real quick.

59:50 I'll just jot it down on my phone.

59:52 And you actually called me out on our last show.

59:55 I did recording. Yeah, because you thought I was

59:57 like texting and I was like, bitch, I'm writing down my

59:59 teachers and a lie quick. Like, fuck, I forgot again.

1:00:06 And that's like the whole point of the show.

1:00:10 Sorry, whoops. But I can do it.

1:00:11 I do it. I don't, I, I, I can't think of

1:00:13 it on the spot and I just, I want to do it.

1:00:17 This is kind of like a surprise episode anyway.

1:00:19 Yeah, Do you want to do it? Go.

1:00:21 You're you're much better doing it on the spot.

1:00:23 OK, so AM I2 traced and alive. I am in the middle of writing a

1:00:28 novel. Wait, we have to do a category?

1:00:32 Not screw it, this is just. This is the wild card episode

1:00:35 anyways. So my 2 traced and alive.

1:00:36 I'm in the middle of writing a novel.

1:00:39 OK. I had one pet named AJAJAJI like

1:00:46 that, and I had three cats growing up when I lived in Utah

1:00:49 named Oreo, Jewel and Kitty. So I believe that you, I do

1:00:55 believe that you are writing a novel.

1:00:58 I do believe that. I'm in the middle of writing My

1:01:01 Autobiography. I do believe that one, yes, that

1:01:04 is from. So that one's definitely gonna

1:01:06 be true. I'm gonna go with that one.

1:01:07 I actually am trying to write a book too.

1:01:09 It's just really hard for me to sit down and write it.

1:01:11 But that was the best. That was the best grade I've

1:01:13 ever gotten was my college writing class.

1:01:16 My professor was like why don't you give it a try anyways so.

1:01:21 Dog and three cats was the other two.

1:01:23 I had a dog that was mine that was named AJ.

1:01:26 And then growing up in Cedar City, UT, we had three cats,

1:01:28 Oreo, Jewel and Bebe. No, it's a Kitty.

1:01:30 Oreo dog is a lie. I think the dog is a lie.

1:01:36 Is that the lie? No, that's the truth.

1:01:38 My baby AJ. Where did the cats come from

1:01:40 then? So we did have 3 cats, but it

1:01:42 was the mom that was the little that actually looked at Miss

1:01:44 Fatty over here. But her name was Baby.

1:01:47 I said her name was Kitty. But then she had two little

1:01:50 kittens named Oreo and Jewel, and we had those two.

1:01:51 Off the technical yes of I see. No, but my baby AJ was like the

1:01:57 was the truth. Like, yeah, I love that dog so

1:01:58 much. Like he was my one and only like

1:02:00 dog that was mine. I am starting to remember my 2

1:02:03 truths and a lie I think. Do you want to do it just in

1:02:06 case for fun and giggles? I could.

1:02:09 Go for it. I'll give you a moment though.

1:02:12 So so I slept in my parents floor till I was 12 years old.

1:02:20 Raspberry cheesecake is my favorite and I'm three out of

1:02:29 the I. I'm just like 3 out of the four

1:02:32 girls. Golden Grove.

1:02:34 This is all. Golden Girl the.

1:02:35 Golden girl, this is all golden. That's golden.

1:02:37 And the first one is a lie. You used to be on the floor

1:02:39 until 12 was a lie because you said 13 or 14.

1:02:44 That's true. I win.

1:02:50 It was, it was, it was a little bit later because my dad didn't

1:02:53 let us get, let us get the TV until, you know, 13 or 14.

1:02:57 Can I tell you that my parents didn't?

1:02:58 Even have school. My parents didn't let any of

1:03:00 their kids get ATV in their room until we were old enough to buy

1:03:03 our own. And then well, and I think

1:03:05 that's eventually I don't think we got had to buy our own, but

1:03:08 we'd eventually got one for Christmas.

1:03:10 But we slept in our parents floor because we wanted to fall

1:03:13 asleep to the TV. And So what did we fall asleep

1:03:15 to every night that my mom would fall asleep to the girls and the

1:03:19 nanny? Because on Lifetime, the channel

1:03:23 of women about women. I'm just having to be.

1:03:26 Murdered and massacred murder She Wrote the channel, the

1:03:29 channel for women about women being massacred, Murder She

1:03:33 Wrote Golden Girls was on at 10:00 every night.

1:03:35 So we would go in there when the Nan all right, and nan was right

1:03:38 there after. I feel like you've heard all

1:03:40 this before. And then a turtle cheesecake is

1:03:42 my favorite. Not Raspberry.

1:03:44 So you had two lies? I just fucked that up the night.

1:03:50 Wild card episode. What can you ask?

1:03:53 3 facts and a truth. I did a truth and two.

1:03:55 Lies. I don't know.
