374. You Can’t Blame the Ant

I think at that point Matt was Matt. And I don't define personal change as courage because that really minimizes what's happening. And so I'm not gonna apologize because I didn't know and unless you think I need to apologize, but I just wanted to say like it's probably better if I just stick to Alex, right? It's ho it's so horrible. At one point I was admonishing John about something and and I came up with a new phrase accidentally. Oh no, I'm not sure. But like what it comes down to is just because millions of people are so fucked in the brain that they're thinking that they can have intercourse with a stranger because somebody else talked about it, like it's not that complicated. So he can't come in with you and it's yeah, it fucking sa it it really did feel like the it it felt like Like why are why are so many women hanging out in Chicago from Indiana?

Yeah. He was raised in a house on l literally under a roller coaster at Coney Island. It was shot on film, no studio audience. Uh you know what? I'm of a younger generation, and I've never watched a movie where Jesse Plemens is not evil. Where every time Voldemort comes on screen, he has to do an impression of the weird way he holds his wand. I got my bow tie in my right pocket and I open the screen door and I'm like, I'm fine, I can totally do this. And I lost some of my confidence at this point because I'd opened the door, my my mom was looking at me, and I suddenly had this little tickle, I'm fifteen years old. Then when it goes just a little bit further, there'll be a public beta where anybody who wants to, I think for free, can sign up and receive a more stable and mature version of it, a branch that's more stable and mature.

I don't know what you're talking about. One time our maid cleaned his golf shoes bad, and he never even pressed charges. Here's Donald Trump's biography. You know, you filled out a lot of forms as a kid. Uh I don't wanna say deceived people because that's the narrative of oh they're gonna trick you into No. No, wait, don't be honest. It's a term that a lot of people who well who who were raised Catholic say, which is, you know, I I'm a recovering Catholic. Here's several kinds of other. But who if it was, who cares? 'Cause I'm covering myself with glory. Please tell me you like apples. And I I didn't mean it to be and I didn't know. So tell me about uh so last thing then. Oh, wait, yep, yep, I'm gonna go.

Yeah. as like, oh God, as soon as you use that particular adjective, you self-identified as somebody I don't need to listen to because you're gonna try and problematize so many things that are not actually that complicated. Thank you, listener Margaret, who a friend of the show. Candy Mountain, you can fuck whoever you want. uh anthill. No, herbing. Fong, bong, fuck, fuck, bong, punk, bong. If you don't empower the HR department, anything can happen. No, you're never gonna have a tattoo. And it's like, oh yeah, I've thought about it, but like, you know, I'm nothing, blah, blah, blah. Fine. Oh as I walked in. Yeah. It's y when you see an affiliate like a hey we found deals for you story the first time I'm like ah well you know it's we're for it's fortunate that it has the same number of syllables and some similar vowel sounds Yeah.

Zoo zoo wait, no. I think they're all well yeah, that's swinging. I don't know. This week's challenge, install the betas. feet to my right on the iPad a few minutes ago. You know, the radio button had it radio button had been chosen for you and you elected to say, uh, I'm gonna click a different radio button. someone says it no it isn't no I just I'm kinda I'm just kind of a little surprised that you don't remember this. And pfft fucking saw boys in the band on TV. Here's the problem now. I I think I didn't know that you've officially dropped Alexandra. And you're like, well, okay, that's interesting, critique of pure reason, it's really a bit it's a big book, yeah, yeah. But like and then of course I mentioned not too soon by throwing muses is my favorite song.

And ask them if every single aspect of how they were raised and what that faith did playing a role in their life, if all that just went away because they made an announcement. The whole idea of what they call recovery was not ascendant until probably late eighties, early or even early nineties. But the big part of recovery is you say like okay it used to be say okay I quit drinking. And what what that means is I will spend the rest of my life dealing with everything in the world, as well as the fact that I used to drink and now I don't. is happening with an actual human being. uh uh uh other othering, um because I'm not always sharp as you would say, there were brief And that's something I need to watch for the rest of my life, right?

Uh folks that are uh new to the show, what the heck? And it really it really can sugarcoat it. Plus other stuff. It's so hurtful. the you know the like Game of Thrones iceberg or the Pearl Programming Iceberg and like here's the stuff everybody knows all the way down to the one about it's one about baseball that's really good. And it's it's I sometimes when people ask a complicated what what I realize is a complicated question, to me or whomever, right? And it gets like l like it runs on kerosene. And the only information on it is that there's not a folder for this. I I d I I didn't wanna I yes, I sp what I think what I specifically probably said. Well well but but but I'm saying Because your brain your brain needs to chunk, you know?

stop drinking. Flow cult like sometimes. There are it's like the good Mormons. have control over, right? the Harvey Milk documentary from 1985. Uh fr it's an edgy white guy neighborhood in a lot of ways still. But technically it's just a couple streets over, but Castro didn't used to be called the Castro. Maybe you were the Carlotta Valdez of 1979 and like you're a very enlightened person because you are over 85% cool with the gay people that you that are around you and that you know. We're like, oh Gene, you know, Gene is Gene is a homosexual and actually he has a boyfriend. What the fuck are you talking about? I did not know. Yeah, mo most capital quer people that I would l consider myself a like who uh kind of subscribe to the uh you know, hippy dippy politics as well is like, well who th uh And get ready, get ready.

Yeah, yeah. from the government that says I'm who I am and I gotta go to the DMV, I gotta change my insurance. But like really like think about that. I mean eventually uh you know, uh the but that's the thing too, normal most normal people, like the folks who are working there were like, fuck, we know that this is Married. And in the end, it will not let you have an abortion. Doesn't it sound like something where you go like, well, I know you and I know you know New York and I know you know Philadelphia and I know you know like everything on the Eastern Seaboard, but you just got this pretty cherry gig. And they just go different places. that are a little like because when they walk and their butt's dragging on the ground they leave a smell and other ants pick the this is the key part.

So you know. There's this this they call it and I think in is like a stoc it's considered like a stochastic, a natural stochastic event that happens where it's like it's like, you know, I've heard it referred to as random walks. Which get what is that? And then you f can follow that trail back. I I'm thinking maybe if you can have your right right hand what's the phrase? Pokeball sphere is uh the uh sort of I I don't want to not extend grace to folks who followed that ant trail. Uh this is where who is it a famous couple met. The daughter of the directory. And it's just Jeff Jeff Goldblum on the phone. You remember that? It's not like W Walter Wendy. What the that I love, which is no problem.

And whatnot. The whole first season of Seinfeld, which Seinfeld, uh which um Syracuse's apparent has apparently rewatched recently with his family. Like when it was the Seinfeld Chronicles and like it was a different thing. Palestinian chicken. I sent I sent him a text about that. for non-obvious reasons. and enterprise for youth youth. I'm I'm going down. Oh, us. Sitting in the theater with adults who were like uh the the especially women who were actively um excited by some of the sex scenes. He's Oscar Isaac is so good in this, it's not a huge role. That's a meme where Ryan Gosling just says I drive. things but still cool. to be able to see how much taller he is. Jesse Plemens is a good guy.

And I had an edible. 150 dollars. See what is called cheese. What's it called? And he said, Do you want a beer? And uh you've you've been a beta since day one. Uh well uh d this week's challenge uh installed the betas for the new operating system. But before that comes out, they release um a version for a beta version for developers so that they can make sure their apps will work properly once the the full version. But really, I'm not saying do it. Uh they're amazing. uh uh and and I am not just being like meh Android I'm saying that the way that Android as an operating system works on various devices It I I don't know. It's uh it has it is grinding me down how stupid everything is. So it would be fairly easy to adapt.

Because really, you had not planned it out any better than for your family to sleep in a barn. I mean, he like like G Gloria Borger, like post-Ozempic, you know, like fucked up looking. To some extent, Brian Eno recorded these three records and they were in a studio where they they look out the window and the Berlin Wall was like right outside that window. It's a load it's a load bearing, uh Oh wallin' prime, oh wall in prime I have to do it. Challenge well maybe the best his conversation could I think. But I c think that's closer to bottle rocket. You seem not you, Dougie's Dougie's domicile seems some how do I put this? Between that day it didn't even fucking rain. This time. Can I can I give you a few of these?

My father is a selfless man. Th they're doing a bunch of different things. in my head. Phrasing as Donald Trump lives in a golf course is s you could say on a golf course, and it would be very funny. My father wins everything he does. His wrists are the size of ripe grapefruit. To like say do you like the Eagles or the other team? Yeah. Let's just say there were some people who didn't want to give it to Hillary Clinton. Because I uh I usually I just want to show that I'm being funny. We're we're both on on pill well, I'm not practically high. This is how I discovered, you know, your specific gender journey. Non-Hispanic. Hmm, huh. Did someone on Mastodon maybe use uh I have talked about pronouns on this show and I think specified oh my yes clear mm everything's about gender until a s God, we shouldn't talk about this.

Okay, yeah. that you should have shared a text because you should have showed me that you were funny. When and there's no way to phrase this that works for everybody, so forgive me. And in the seventies that meant he probably had a dalliance, but was mostly straight. You may have a lot of courage to do whatever it is you want to do with presenting yourself to the world and definging yourself before the world. Charles Nelson Riley, Rip Taylor, these comedians from when I was a kid. Like to understand the pastiche of Merlin, it's useful to know, if you care, that Everything Flows by Teenage Fan Club is somewhere around my fourth or fifth favorite song. And change. It's not something that I thought about until the maybe like the past ten y years or s or so.

But be because I'm not sure. Which a which assumes that happily ever ever aster ever after is the end of the book. Um, but I was initially really upset by that, but not for reasons that in retrospect I'm proud of. Well, I was initially d really upset, but Is this speculation by friends or speculation by the internet? Because the reason I'm not always sharp, if you are a long-term listener of the show, it's because I am bipolar one. the shame of, oh God, people think I'm that of quote, that kind of addict. I don't know. Did you see the thing about the reality TV show couple getting divorced? Friends who are I I have a friend who's a they and an addict. that I that, I I guess. It's it's out there.

But you know, in truth, for you or the world, because you're part of the world, is actually incredibly complex. Are you really asking, or do you really want to know, or how much time do you have? It's every kind of question like that becomes a trick question because there's no every you it's got s ve a little bit of content, but endless amounts of context. All of the webs and connections inside of that answer are w way more complex. Um much like your cauliflower. A couple Mr. No, I got it, I got it. And their job is to file things. Hakuna Matada, I don't have a single word to say one way or another about those those people and their decisions in life. uh like I either um I don't know, like there there's a mil you you were chunked, basically.

Yeah. There's this thing where you I think you're supposed to say like I've accepted that is that the first step? People still call that area Eureka Valley. Which again, let's let's be clear here. You know, they they got the same mustaches, the same blue jeans, and like I'm fine with it. There were not a lot of people that's even were there. Well, what if you found out that there's actually more going on than that? and appreciate what I understand to be the meaning of the word intersectional. Have a good day. But like to have to like quote explain yourself. It all de It all depends. is all very close to the radio button default. But the reason that I But it's like drug laws, right? I mean again it's not courage.

you eventually get to where you you you aren't really even you weren't listening to that voice. uh an amazing newsletter about trans legislation and is a heat map of uh how dangerous that you could be prosecuted by w whatever child services is if you're not like the kind of thing you would make as a pamphlet for jazz musicians in the fifties for uh c uh trans kids, which has uh its key talks about with parents, like here's how many rights you as the parents have and here's how likely it might be Or like a hobo code. And this guy thinks you don't fit in the right file folder. Slowly as uh No no sorry, I'm sorry. You know, you know about this? You prefer not. Because whenever we're not sure. Yes, and uh y whenever you say Alexandra, it's usually uh to get my attention or to admo mostly to admonish me.

They're making they're making fun of you know West Coast culture by having Jeff Goldblum be a guy who calls his guru because he forgot his monster. Severance and god, he's so good in severance. The beginning. Diane Keaton in that movie. It is it's the oh my god, no I thought. Uh no, from um meta er macro data refinement and uh optics and design. He's heard stories about the attacks with knives. Did they do that at cards? And Nora, I don't remember Nora's name, but Nora would always call my kid Billy. I mean this is we're talking Oh so what you're saying is social contagion, right? Like this is who this kid is. And then of course pretty quickly it turned into one of our bits. from nineties TV shows, catchphrases from nineties TV shows in RB singer script.

uh rib cage it says did i do that would it be yeah well siracuse suggested if i could say siracise has suggested rib cage i think upper left arm would be a good place for uh uh alf's catchphrase And and so he says it like seven times in the pilot. Oh, just to just to trigger some of the challenge. Watch the first episode of Gunsmoke, watch the last episode of Gunsmoke. Yeah. I th that was the only one I got. I I think it's a AP AP everything. He had a treadmill delivered uh so that he could walk uh while he studies. read the Dune books. Um because we had guilty questions. And it was like, oh, oh, is this oh you're you're afraid of us? But um I cannot gird him to watch drive. This is just a thing he does.

Forgive me because I think of that as the baby who came out of my wife a long time ago. Two nights ago I I didn't have any gobapentin and my sleep was so mega fucked. Yes. So many I thought it was gonna be over and no it you just kept yeah yeah you go okay it's the drill bit. What's the place called? uh was still up and kind of waiting to make sure I was okay. pr alm yeah, deaf pretty much definitely the first time I was out somewhere and came back to the house and I was a little drunk. Dude, you gotta try these. Two two quarts of half and rep for private stock. And uh I had taken off my clip-on bow tie, but I did have a bow tie in my right pocket. I don't either, but it's still people just used to get together and play Boston covers.

grabbed the two sides of the doorway. I'm done fucking faking it. I installed them on everything. speaking to a bunch of chuds. I put it on my MacBook Pro. Bad as a year old. No, no, I used a r the stock current up-to-date Android the uh Samsung fuck what is it uh whatever is on the galaxy. The kids. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, hot. concert and documentary movie where he's drinking milk and the limousine. I like that movie a lot. That one does a lot of the same stuff. I thought that was going to be part of the. But the worst way to rearrange your icons is without iTunes. started because oh my god it used to be used to be like the the the the second worst way to rearrange your icons was was with iTunes.

down. Yes, yes. Yeah, especially because we don't have a big thing. The article of my big wet sons. That will be Todd in schools. And what I'm doing with all of these is really totally aping the Cards Against Humanity, you know, that house style. Uh he always knows what time it is. Donald Trump is a huge m okay context. And and we'll give money and all then at the end we'll take all of the money and give it to Hillary Clinton. it all to actually don't no no one yelled at us. were I want to say on the left side it was blue and had a cool drawing of Hillary Clinton. Um God I'm so fucked up on sleeping pills and I've got to tell you about it. White, black, Hispanic, Asian maybe? So I I should say qu quickly before before you continue your tale that uh I actively um, you know, about um that episode of uh not serial, but whatever it was.

uh initiative in California. And like I think I think the narrative of it being what you just described and uh no I'm I'm agreeing and I'm I'm talking I want to talk to the pain that you're talking about is like the the story that was easier for people to swallow was look And so that person's always known they're gay. I'm gay. human and emotional about somebody being able to say, Hey, you know what? were the what they can't quote came out as Bowie did I think mostly for for for the laughs, for the lulls, but 'cause I think he's mostly straight. Yes. what that person's situation is. If you click that other box. Right. speculations about whether or not that I was on drugs uh like like you know um the the bad arm drugs You know, there are folks who have uh uh God, this is I'm not trying to sound like a twelve step uh guy because I've issues with with that, but I it was w I I put out their stuff about mental illness and put out their stuff about gender intentionally and uh expected.

Shit on uh the the the fentanyl folders. By the way, last night on the after show with Syracuse, I accidentally invented a new phrase. Oh, I'm on the fence. Fuck your monkey. This is part of the numerous numerous like this is practically in my brain like you know those silly videos about icebergs. People want the content. Exactly, yeah, they just call it the X chromosome. People all people can tell you is what folder they're not in. I forget what Alex what you what Max said, but God, I can't believe I used to do a podcast with two people with an X in their name. Like you're not it's my dining table. is this? um what's what's the word? What I do notice is that people who are self-identified 12-step recovering alcoholics tend, it seems, to want to chunk people into two piles.

And are still and you know, there's a funny names for everything. Where like if you you may seem or feel or self-identify, not you, but one, might feel very enlightened. surv survive anymore. Chicago, it's like, mm, I would not hold my spouse's hand here. Like can't pass it straight, but uh But l I'll I'll I'll try to wrap this. uh think less about Harvey Milk and think more about, say, Vertigo. Like and it's it's I think it's nice that he found you know, let's say you're that and just so y'all know who who are living in a fucking different literally different century. Because now it's not you've already strained the idea of a long-term relationship by saying two gay guys love each other for over 10 years.

We are married and lawyers for their lawyers. 2000 and and eight. That would be so much easier for my filing. Oh, is it for healthcare? Uh uh no one can go there. It's hard to do with chalk, especially when you're hungry. I don't want to make it I don't want to amplify you know the way EO Wilson he says the ants the way ant trails work? were food or water or whatever resources were found. It's because they pick up the trails and then also the ones that do come back are somehow able to communicate like with rubbing rubbing the smells as they walk through. There's a little there's a little Pokemon in here and I'm you're Pika Pikachu Jamani, Jamani And then I want you to do one of those kind of sweeping, those one of those gay bishop uh gestures.

It's where Sh well like Shelley Duvall, you know, she used to be like a big on the scene. Oh god, Alex, it's so oh Alex, it's so, so good. I used to be a oh my god, I remember more of this than I thought. phenomenal. alchemical. The wait, no, no, no. It's a it was a nick it started out as a nickname between him and one of his friends. probably we wouldn't be having it. any time that I I mean you you know you know my kid a little bit. Any show rarely finds its way in the first episode. jacket. I I remember the special. I mean like so annoying. Um, I know it seems like I talk about my kid a lot, but I don't I don't let it all out because I won't. Um um well of course plus he's he's had uh over a year now of learning Danish every day, literally every day in Duolingo.

or envious or both, understandably, in addition to the real fact that like my kid needs to have his own life and I tend to now get approval before I think say things about him because like I'm I'm gonna link to the because we are not going to be able to really the amazing fucking person who reminds I'll c I'll cover myself in Glory. 'Cause sometimes other people in the house will take one. Clothes, $150. Had no idea. Mm-hmm. The way that I remember it was I got to the door and I was like, I can totally do this. in in like b uh but I I was fifteen and drinking with a guy in his late twenties. Maybe I can't pull this off. Yes. Over on Mac Rumors Mitch Mitchell, who's the deals editor? But like even just like the fucking shovel blogs.

Which is like, you know, there was a there was a prime day that existed and we know lived in Nazareth at the time. Uh no. Come and like hang out with your baby because they had stuff. Prime Day's coming, par-umpa bum-um. Mitchell the deals man is rum bum bum. Jesus Christ. Should we look it up? And then you see that again in what's the one with Bruce Willis in the Lighthouse uh with um with the with the Boy Scout and the Girl and the Record. Like Surakis and I've talked about it's it seems like at this point it's kind of a bummer you can't do wiggle mode because that's the dream. Um there's been a at least one time in the last little bit that we we just knew we shouldn't even bother to try and record.

In Max's voice. Um and each time all it would be was a photo of Eric Trump with his mouth open talking and then me uh what Eric Trump is saying. My father is a very reverent man. Please. Um, oh, oh, oh, my father is a very smart wait, Donald Trump is a huge man who lives in a golf course. Oh wait, there should be a really good mnemonic for this. All I am is not not other things that you like. uh virtually and you were doing, you know, top scallops stuff and we got got to be acquainted and then became pals. Uh I've always really liked you and you're super weird. 30, 40 years ago, that was a seemingly straightforward narrative. it really is like, oh, obviously it's so cool that you know, you hear stories about how Rock Hudson, of course, couldn't tell people, you know, who he was, uh uh Freddie Mercury.

didn't and didn't as they say come out I think until the week that he died. There was no but the thing is nobody was saying, well, I wonder if Uncle Arthur is assigned male at birth as a witch or a warlock. Yes, and I I didn't know I didn't know that you had stopped using that like pretty much full stop. It's not just I I don't I I'm busy on Sunday mornings with my scrapbooking. Oh one does not simply walk out of Catholicism. narrative of uh if someone's an alcoholic, they're an alcoholic for life and that is, you know, I'm uh again, QED as you would say it it is different for everyone in m so many different facets. the guys don't go to the subreddit, but yeah you know there there's a subreddit for the show.

It's not as simple as just you know what I mean? you know, or or who am I you know, but you get what I'm saying? But you use the Q the Q word and not the uh the A word, which is I I'm just curious about the uh the um It's a big, big difference. to understand and administer? not na uh uh it was the opposite. you being uh unable to drink and then stop uh you had to stop wait who was who no god is he's just on reddit Let's put it this way. That time. But like Hitchcock stuff, it's so beautiful. I mean, including your author. Who who cares and also see Merlin you've you've got to do? Is that correct, guys? and how legal it is to be trans in America. That's what happened. But it's a isn't it kind of a isn't it I mean it's a s it's a very minor bit.

Um it's uh yeah, but the lobsters and um oh god Grammy Hall. Or or if I was a cis dude and it wa if it was like Michael and Mike, it's uh there are some Isn't that one reason that people choose to a waitress name like Trixie or Candy? Yeah. And he's like, I'm not sure. Most importantly, amazing letterbox reviews. you know, it's 'cause honestly for the last five years it's been yeah, post anything. So oh oh god and I'm not sure. That's important but and also the one of the Well there's so many it's just like this this there's just so many of these where it's like yeah he's Uh oh shit, what's the mood disorder one you take? And I I think you'll recognize this reference. Dissipated light forms, pixelation dreams, lonely berrow boy I understand about indecision.

Um, so every every year, pretty much every year, yeah, every year, like on something like Clockwork, Apple releases updates to the software that runs all of their products. It's on my Apple TV. Yeah. Oh, okay. It's kind of the w I I mean I'm not a Christian anymore, but I still love the music. 'Cause he had he'd had some very serious problems with cocaine. And that like we're building it in a way that's different from just give all all the m all the money to the guy who lives on the largest golf course. Yeah! Uh but yeah. You've I didn't realize this. Do I have different pronouns? Other. I knew you as a lesbian woman named Alexandra Cox. to telling the world who they are. when you tell the world who you are.

No, and y you bringing up all also just recovery in terms of watching it, it god, it just because I don't fit into the file folders that the you, the other person, the other other have like that doesn't my life is not my life does not exist to be easy for you. Well, three piles technically. If we are chunking or foldering people, like you'd be like, Yes, I am an alcoholic. moved to the Castro because they wanted to be a gay man. all white Ford F-150s. And you're a straight normal person who lives in San Francisco and you know it's uh you're you're closer if you want to think about what San Francisco I'm talking about. No and oh God no. There's a reason the village people have a song. named Phil, who lives with him, and they've been together for ten they've been together for like, I think almost ten years.

And again, I'm I'm just I'm just doing, you know, what what was the phrase you used? The uh uh uh oh the I think most people ha uh who listen to the show at least have probably seen the maps by Aaron R Reed who writes in Atlanta. But ants just start going in a it's they start out going in, for practical purposes, a random pattern. something like this, where these ants just start walking and then then through no like intention of their own, apart from just how their body works, it naturally attracts more ants to go in the directions where more ants have gone. Max you're they're arguing about whether you should like, you know, I don't even like moving like l go on to Los Angeles. Almost without exception, the first episode of a TV show pilot or otherwise, even if it's a fully fledged like first episode, it's rare they've rarely found Um works at Alcatraz this summer.

As much as I love that story, it's not my story anymore. I that that movie is adorable. He has thought through he's thought through all of this and has independently done all of this and he's sixteen. Oh, it's normal. Oh god, yes. But they're in, they're very, very strong. So I have black polyester pants. Like Mrs. We're Apple people, I don't know. I thought uh that I would have more interesting things to say about the beta, but No, I think we've done it. My father is a gentle man. What do you say something like my my my father my father drank drank all the water And then of course there's the contest one where Donald Bum Trump's biography says Don something like Donald Trump Trump is a very strong man who lives in a golf course.

God, that's fucking funny. Can I ask about the sleeping uh situation? Do you remember? So it's just sometimes it's just not practical. No, because you're uh This is so complicated, Alex! You can start opening your sentence in really complicated ways that make people mad. Go ahead. they are normal, hopefully, extend the grace of not putting someone in a folder in regards to gender or sexuality. is still like ooh like it's it's San Francisco but it's it's pretty it's pretty conservative and pretty like you wouldn't walk it's ed it's a little edgy And the ants that did find something stayed. Because he says it like uh Tony Roberts in in uh Woody Allen's film Annie Hall. Jeff Goldblum is in a short scene from 1977.

Because I think I know my kid or I know who my kid was enough to know that this is not some caprice. It it the very first time uh I met him, he reminded me so much of myself that Really Yeah. No seriously. Um cool the engines, they said. It was laggy and weird. is just a a total shit show i i unless, you know, you uh you don't change anything. Wait, no. I uh I I like uh do a hard uh uh no like uh uh a hard shutdown on You don't you don't observe Prime Day at all? And uh there's the middle one and the lodger. Fur tree. That's it's so accomplished, you know? Oh no, um because we're just about done here and you probably need to like holy fucking shit Alex and we haven't talked about the weather.

Well no no no because bu no it's all about the seeds. We're so almost on. that you were another. Um anyway, it's just this is we'll get this over with. So I mean let's just can we just stipulate you guys are listening to this show so you know us. I mean like uh going I I'm saying thank you so much for saying that, but like is it not like one quick summary of that for the folks in the back as they say? I'm going to plow plow through this quickly. Anderson Cooper. does not constitute this does not constitute an emergency for me. Are people talking about me not drinking on the book? I mean they did know they did not know about gay cancer. And so that that tells you a lot. The well, because uh like I am I am a queer person who y yes has been trying to legally change my name to Alex Cox, not just because it is you know, uh gender affirming and fitting.

Isn't it isn't it? Never mind. So I can't talk about it. Because my body's a fortress. And you so you don't get that whole thing of I wonder if I should have another. Okay. Prime day's coming, we're so sad. It's no, it's complicated. Let me put it in terms that American men put it in terms that American men can understand. Now, does that, for example, disrupt your omnibus acceptance of the near marriage that they have? We know what this is, but because it's the University of Utah, there's the laws, and blah blah blah blah blah. All the things all the things that you all the things that you that one's mind turns over and over in the way that our particular minds do. A HBO wanted that to be the first episode.

Now I I am like, oh oh god, no, the beta I've there's d never been a beta as Let's make it easier and just say French dispatch. Um where and it's actually a max bit that I took and expanded, right? The Eric Trump line that Max would do. And but but he also he he differentiates his gender from his sexual people he's sexually attracted to versus you know it's I don't even know if I'm allowed to say that name. Oh God, yeah. So Ralph Mauf would say sit on it. Galactic grave. I should send you the. I uh always hopefully You sound kinda sharp. And oh we have a changed folder for Alex. It was this strange gross feeling of uh projection and judgment. Nobody could really understand what an interesting time they were living through until it was probably 1985.

I'm I am doing a bit. Do not watch this for the first time on a day you're working a night shift on an island. Thanks for putting up with all this. Uh a challenge. Prime day, prime day, I hope it's not a crime day. Well I want to pass out a couple things that are neat. I mean no you you've I was gonna say you're you're stealing click hole va uh valor. Even like there's a guy I think I told you about this guy I discovered on YouTube. It's never been as easy as just coming out. Also, your brain stuff is not just not just some days I'm a little tired and I'm not into it. Is it like Project Farm where they uh do on different different facets? You saw it you saw it on a Spotify. You ever do that? I I I did.

And just I don't Captain Marm, I don't know if you listened to this show, but I was thinking of you as I was preparing to say that because that was an extraordinary hat on hat that I just did. How th how in the fuck is it you you've got like literal multiple tornadoes, right? Like it's like saying is you wouldn't say he lives in a tree, you'd say he lives in a forest. Oh my god. See I'm not sharp. It's craw you're yeah, you're you're dead you're several kinds of things. I'm not as as a black they No, no. I d I don't know Oh, I think that's incredibly not that complicated. Isn't that one of the first steps is to admitting that? I just imagine the judge and everybody there being Bob Bodenkirk with the glasses and I'm just asking one more question.

It's almost like time travel. Remember that's the slogan for Pawnee? Never mind. You see him walking around? Oh no, that would be Cheesecloth of the Aging Actress. No, they had Prime Dave. Do you want to sit with that for a minute? I don't know what the tannen means. Oh that too. That's great. It's out there if you want it in your tool chat. I'm gonna use this word in air quotes. And so let's say, you know, one ant starts walking in each of those five directions. I just wanted to say that because mainly I want to cover myself with glory. Oh yeah because they thought having him in a leather jacket would make him look too much like a hood, as we used to say. Oh wait, where's the Sound of Music?

It's it's really it's the um it's the savior of the aging actress. That's it! And I also wrote down what I write I wrote down here's what I've written down so far. But um like Matt I guess doesn't uh identify but but my spouse is I guess So like when you see I I know the phrase is not B-roll, but like when you just look in Vertigo and um what's the other one in San Francisco? It's actually pretty funny. Like the way you know how ant trails work? 1,000 billy points for the much for this much shirtless Oscar eyes. Oh, oh, does he have a read but has he he read the book? And I was like, Yes, I would like a beer. No, no, no. Especially when you're fifteen. The after I used an Android phone for a month la last year for a bit But you know, that's the spirit of light and love.

You know, that's at that's at a point when Bowie was well, the most gacked out on cocaine, obviously, is in that No. If you quote came, I want to say came out, now let's let's broaden that to come out as somebody who likes computers or to come out as somebody who's not a religious person. Fuck your fuck your monkey. Plough jackets. Do you want ants? It's not a big deal. I know. I didn't want to get that. My father is a strong man. Mm-hmm. Is this you're talking about the ten years ago time or the Catholic time? I've I've ex I've accepted an operationalized I think the one of the first things and it sounds like at least on TV shows and movies, Fight Club, when people talk go to go to a uh something uh a life anonymous meaning.

The Beatles lost two people to that. What does that do? Uh the oh god, the lobst oh the lobsters. Like it it's it's or you know, a gil the porn porno guy. Incredible is like sitting in in the chair with her eyes on me I'll send them if you want. Still still as as we talk about once a year, still very much worth reading all the way through once a year. Oh, this is gonna be a fun episode. No. It's kind of a little bit of like a get out of here, but also a little bit of like a what the hell are you talking about? Yeah, I'm straight. Yep, yep, yep. They're just doing what ants do. Or like, oh my god, there's too many fucking tattoos, because I hate tattoos. Okay, but uh so that uh going back through the stack, and I said I said to my kid, I said, I said, what have you given me any thought?

It's not that I'm like it's not that weren't he's mad about it. Someone who is good at the economy. And so basically on Twitter for a long time I had one thread, one long thread, or whatever it was called. There's the phrasing, guys, if y'all care, I know I got the first part wrong. I it it is. Plow king. Did they ever do things like that? Like a lot of kids, like I think he he doesn't know what he actually likes. Oh well here's one. He's a powerful CEO who wears three suits at once. Other, other. That's awesome. We don't really know. Had a lot of sleeping pill last night. But like they they bin people into these two piles, which is like people who have not gotten the gospel about this. But uh it actually super is that complicated.

It just bursts with very real energy. So I had, I was like, I've got to get no, I've got to get some sleep. No, my friend Michael is there. Uh it's uh my wife and I saw in the theater. My father. Well that would be difficult to know what what radio button to click, but fifth, sixth, seventh on fifth, sixth, seventh on the list was usually the the words it just said the words white. Everybody knows I'm gay. Let's let's let's go back to something like the say 1978. They just blow each other on the street. God forbid something happens while you're at that place and that person's in the hospital. Isn't she the most adorable? I'm into leather. I remember I was living in temporary housing. They're grape.

You ever you'll walk through a door and go, ooh. It's on every device and it's f I know you're supposed to go. The Hillary pack and the Trump pack. I'm not a person. And you know, stay away from you gotta be careful with that fentanyl. Right, but also but people continue it's that it's like walking over the top of the hill because there are still, you know, at least thousands of people who literally moved to San Francisco. And then I guess eventually they come back. I don't know. No, I mean like I just well all I did just now was mute stand up. These are fine. It's on so easy enough, right? Is this it? Did you do that? Uh alcoholic or the Arkword as well. It's it's just maybe you have good luck.

It was definitely the who the person is. And it's such an affront to say, well, let's make sure this is r what you really want. You've gotta fucking try these. I don't fucking care. It c uh i their version of dashboard crashes all I know I know that like in terms of actual measuring microseconds, it's not a big deal. Oh, n well Consensually. I identify as a fir tree. Vote for Hillary Pack. It was it was a bureaucratic time. Yep. I mean I wouldn't tell you if you were. Oh, and by the way, the way that I found out about your journey was on the show. It it felt like my nightmares that I thought about in 2008. Also, he bought a he bought a treadmill so he can walk he can walk while he studies. Anyway, I'm definitely still a little bit high.

It wasn't because I was gonna well partly it was because I was gonna fall down. But he started this bit. And they need to, they just need an they need a memo from the district manager about which folder you need to go in. Try it. People where it's not even an issue at all, but every it's an issue for everybody once you're inside that group. And the reason I uh feel uh uh c conflicted talking about it is because there Is it Lisa? Walter Wendy's actually pretty good, but Right. I the Then Larry and Larry killed the guy swan. That's something I s no, but I mean, you know, metaphorically, killers of the flower moon. Well they do disclosures as if it's like like oh d you know, I'm not your doctor.

It um he's very confident. I think tenenbaums is where he's really starting to get into his corn. Mm-hmm. In nineteen eighty one he offered the president he offered was offered the president job, but turned it down for the chance to play bass guitar and haircut one hundred. Not sharp. I am not sure. I just had a post on Mastodon where I shared with somebody what I called quote my fourth or fifth favorite song I just I mean so Apple Apple News Plus, one third of Apple News Plus is somebody's complete dating history or like who they're dating now or or or whatever. Pl it's the plow king episode. But the people who live there, that's Alex, that's I mean, you had over over where Dan White the area where Dan White is from.

Yeah, he died, totally died, and it was like it but he was not out. Uh oh god, you know who's great on there is uh who's that actor I like? That's what Elf says Elf. I got French fries and I got french fries and fried apple pies. Anytime he puts his business card in a fishbowl, he gets all free lunches, plus the fishbowl apologizes. Oh god. So that means they get one or more copies of a of a document that have to go into a file folder. It is a visibly visibly swelling population of America, but holy fucking shit is it ever a visibly swelling population of San Francisco in particular? Oh, I see what. Well that makes the trail super duper strong. He just reads them. He's not like, mm, I like books.

Get another kid. Oh O'Diels and Baum. Um going through the house and doing the compass shots inside the house of like while they're listening to the uh Peter and the Wolf record. Did you like that show? He's adopted all Hispanics and only ever hit men who gave him lip. I'm but I'm trying to say I'm so it fills my heart when people get to a place where the conditions and this is you you notice what I'm doing. You have to tell the world who you are in in some ways, and or you may choose to in terms that they understand. Like just because I put on a green jacket today doesn't make me the champion of the Masters tournament. Thank you, listener Margaret. For us it's usually like a tiny hole in the wall or something.

No, I love it. Maybe a giraffe's okay for this show. You know, I don't care I'm leaving behind. You could get Darling Love to go Prime Day. It's nice to be defined as a negation title. So so so so I'm gonna try to stop doing that because I I don't I think it's probably it's unintentionally hurtful. It was all Irish people and Chinese people and they all did like work with their hands. He's a very clean man. I put it on the Apple Studio. Like a lot of Gia Tolentino's work. Like there's not really the site site, but uh Chicago, you know, are overflowing with comedians. Because as we'll talk about in a second. I I I learned about your life uh through things I accidentally see on the internet. It's like somebody who goes to college for twelve years, gets a PhD, and comes out and comes out as uh somebody who's interested in Immanuel Kant.

Not everybody's mad about the same thing. I've always been straight. Like like like uh like the I am an alcoholic types and that's the color of their crystal. But let's say you are very enlightened and you work at the office and like you know, like you you might be, let's say you're you're like you've got a royal flush of acceptance. It is uh like when you uh see uh I'm I'm sure. Yeah, no, I'm sorry, I'm I'm transmorgying or whatever that's called, personifying. Because that's how you get ants. If I d didn't have any different gender folders, if I had an easy radial box, if it was Alexander and Alex And I told Sarkis about this and I was like, it's it's interesting. I had so much sleeping pill last night.

You did it for Dan Danny's kids. And that's why we're gonna have this cover by uh Gold Frankincense and Mariah Carey. This is from this is okay. Oh my god. You're not allowed to shit on it just because you're in the neighborhood. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like this is this is actually why don't you just move, right? Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. See, that is a thing that would happen. A P everything. I've installed I installed this Alex. Um but I Well like if if you're gonna do it, do it. Not now. Yeah. Shalamabon Alex Cox is in the house. Yep. Spe speaking my truth. Try it. Everybody wants to know the content, but they're not interested in the context. And that that time, and you're like, oh my God, that hotel.

Like I was I've said a lot of really hurtful stuff for a really long time and been terrible above. So there's no need for you to explain it to people. They have to explain and defend all of their weird choices. Lisa Milton, I think. It's the dumbest fucking throwaway line. Did they have a break room? His name was Ralph Mauf. I can't tell you anything that's for sure. I remember it was one of the functions. Let's see. It was different. The man who sold the hats. If we talked about French, well shit, no, no, no, sorry, sorry, fuck me. The idea was you come in and give money. I don't think I wrote this. Tell me more about that. You sound kinda sharp to them. It's like you know, you're not you're not making fun of a sign.

You know, like there are folks or or the I saw those guys open for REM in 1984. That's correct. That's what holds just it was a file folder with a buster on it. Maybe most importantly, for people's memories, Fonzi was the most minor of minor characters, and he had a cloth. Uh but it's so funny because like we couldn't watch Annihilation until he had finished two of the books. Here's Annihilation 2018. And I got to the door, I opened the screen door. House stuff, but I'd like you to be a lifestyle clown while you're doing it. Oh, absolutely. I don't know what you're talking I I I let me see. Oh god. In 1972, he invented communion and gave every Russian boy a very small hat. I'm doing that thing guys do where I try to show how I was funny in text.

Let's talk about it in the after show. I you know, I need some percussion instruments. Yes and I'm not trying to say like, oh, you you came out because Harvey Milk told you to come out or because you got outed by somebody or whatever. And this is not this is not like an old narrative. It's not a one-bit thing. And you know what? You know, Brian Epstein, he he had some trouble with that. We burned later that day he was burned alive. Yes. But now when I'm not posting things about my son Billy, now you all can know why. And he gave me a Hovenriffer private stock, which is a very strong it's not fancy. If the punchline's in blue, I'm Michael Babaro. And like that episode about people coming out in the seventies, like all of those stories, I really it like it always it's since even since I was a teenager I have written down for after show Merlin quit drinking question mark because you've talked about this at another place.

I was not shocked, but I was surprised at people's reaction to Like it was a very interesting time. Go wherever you want. Uh and like uh not a problem. It's like a very weird. I didn't propel myself through the door, but I did feel the need to pull myself through the door. I'm very envious. In 1968, he invented the inclined plane. I I I I don't know. Try it. People are always making often boy h I'm making uh I'm making a I'm bitching about generalization by generalizing, so I'll avoid that. There's I was uh no comment. No problem. Sound of Music was a real was was a really memorable one. I was very impressed that on his own he made this reference. Cameras, $800. Yeah. But it they're they're good.

So I did it and uh I'm fucking great and like you know I'm just not gonna look at news anymore. Not until the episodes are out. You know, he's he's really he's changed a lot since Saturday. We gave it to Emily's list, which is a a a great pack that gets w women elected. Oh, it was a night just like this. Um what? Why, God, why are you having uh people stay? How have don't you notice in in in one's house, don't you notice first you see no ants and then you see so many ants? They're doing what ants do. It was I was so oh well it's a This is why this is why Mr. It's all prepositions. It's all about like, you know, building. Or Oriental? And we've gotten past f gotten past Freud and uh defining ourselves by what we don't have.

You get six was it sixteen rods to the hectare or whatever. Yeah, okay. So ants basically start from one place and they need to get resources and bring it back to and I I don't know exactly how this works. It was it's such a different show. I'm wearing a white m a white, you know, shirt, probably Oxford collar because I was classy. And what I clearly remember, at least in my memory, is taking both of my hands and turning them slightly sideways, like I was like gonna try to like climb into a large piece of fruit. Not now. Where's our stuff? He's like, I ever notice like Eric Trump, he's always you know, my father is a blah blah blah. Um stand by while I find this. Like, don't they just go to bathrooms and and come on everything?

That's what I find. Mm-hmm. Jeff there's a short scene where Gold Jeff Goldblum's on the phone at a party. Please help me budget this. I'm uh I'm a they them. Like you ask one of those questions that seems like a a binary a binary true-false yes-no question. Yup There you go, there you go. The village people have a song about the Navy, YMCA, and San Francisco. Where like you still it's different everywhere you go. Uh this is where uh I think it's where uh the actress who just passed away. I love Annie Hall. Isn't that such a good movie? Two fucking jobs. And he's also doing some of his AP lit. I had to read Dune. Killers of the Flower Moon. And I he then he drove me home. They are the best galactic grape.

It's called the it's please write this down. I the the the iPhone on your Mac thing is gr really, really good. It's one of your like, oh man, you like it was right in front of you the whole time. White non-hisp white non-hispano. Alex Alex decided to change folders. Are you are you are you have you always known you're a giraffe or your sign giraffe at birth? Uh the You're the only giraffe that eats an apple with chopsticks. They didn't know about gay cancer yet. I used to be a heroin addict and now I'm a methadone addict. I current kuttering, you know he's obsessed with Oscar Isaac. It's normal to want to read the books first. I think that's a form of grooming. Mm-hmm. Don't please don't touch it.

Like it's always been really touching to me. It's different from I just quit drinking. It's it's it's like, hmm, I think there's a lot of room and I don't know if I'm quite there yet at using I've never been gay. If you're a piece of shit, you can start speculating about what kind of sex a person has with their partner. Spotify like I did, right? Oh, he's gonna have a little like sometimes most of the time he's a puppet, but sometimes he's a little person in a suit, and he's so fucking cute. Everybody's got those difficult it's like it's like the the it's kinda like having Zitz. They're grape little grape chewies. Challenge. That's the most fucked up I've ever seen David Bowie. You know the best you know the best movie ever made probably is Fantastic Mr.

So that's the way you're willing to let the world know that you're not a deist. Hello, thank you so much. Fuck your monkey. Yes. Like accepting that, yeah. Yeah, because and it w it was it it still is fucking insane. Yeah. No, no, but that but the way that the way that um Zach Cherry keeps referring to him, like he thinks that they're gonna try and kill them. I just want to mention that we would not be having this conversation of Alex versus Alexandra. Yeah, and just like the the shyness and and then he's always liked you so much. Some people here, the thing is, some people historians, you know, there are obviously the religious people, as they say, theists, scholars, who who talk about the what we call the historical prime day.

One time he picked up a whole golf course without using any of his teeth. Did you bring a lawyer? And just first of all, I want to cover myself with glory that I've just accepted and decided to embrace. Great letterbox reviews. Or we used to take lamictal? All I did was go and get a fresh iced tea for ice and and whatnot. And you've just been hanging out with Dave and Dave and Dor Cray. You could not decide what you were ordering. Oh, of course, of course. Everybody like it's basically like an open secret that everybody's like, God, that guy's got to be gay. And I say it a lot because I like the way that it sounds and I think it's you know how I do that and where I say your name. I I'm what is I'm president of the Pincus plumbing company That they uh so to speak.

Yes. Pause. But the the the point is facets, sides, edges, and change. Thank you. But one day you finally f you find a way to like stop having to hear that voice. And it's like you need and I guess you know, that's what Green Book is theoretically about. No, I like the hobos. But if you think about that for a minute, it's really interesting because fairly quickly you notice that there's some trails. Like it's it's like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally levels of like this person just seems this is such a real person. Yes. It's like it's on this iPad that I have over here, right? Donald Trump is a huge man who lives in a golf course. Also, you know, I don't I don't know if people know this, but I I love you.

He definitely was between us. They got Linda Ronsdad to be on those instants. I'll find that for sure. Um, but all I'm trying to say is like I love the I do have I've come to really love So here's a new thing we're doing. And then all he ever does is he does a bit. He just fucking he just fucking does all of this. I just just for the record, I was not a kid who drank a lot and it's certainly the f He has a very uh that's where he's really stretching out, I think. Yep. Cards Against Humanity Home. Hey everybody, thank you for tuning into whichever show this is. And I honestly, even then, every time I saw it, it was so funny how it was like s it was like white, you know, it would be like white, black, Hispanic.

I'm not proud of my initial feelings around uh uh uh shame and disgust I'm I'm already ashamed and disgusted by so many things I do, but uh Uh oh not a title, not a title. If your job is to file follow this closely, because listen, imagine somebody who works in an office. I was almost uh I oh I don't know that person, I think. I've had a lot of sleeping pill and I do love you. And then they show his house under a roller coaster. Uh people living in uh competition. Wasn't this like a fundraising thing or something? Let's do it. So that's when we met, that was that was the that was the situation. Where Elton John or David Bowie, like Elton John and David Bowie. But uh d do you know what I I I mean?

Um I I I calling you Alexandra, I was not d do you consider that a D name? You said don't talk about it and then you talked about it with me and then with Syracusa and I was like which which royal you is I I haven't obviously have not been to San spent a ton of time in San Francisco. Not that it concerns you, but what if you found out that Jane and Phil also know an older lady named Nancy, who sometimes the three of them have sex. You've seen me say this. And I remember the special and I did not get that it was a bit. No, that would be Decemberis. Tannin Baum. I love that girl. I found it like third hand. Can we complexify it? And it's really, you know, like any cult, it's got a lot of jargon.

I nobody I knew was there in 1979. You know, and m my idea was to get all quotes. Yeah, and I I think it's all very One of the other waiters was sixteen, fifteen. But he he we only wake him for the important meetings. Max had a very good, it didn't sound like Eric Trump, but it was a great voice. Is this old Alex? I hope not, because I'm I'm sharp. But the way I think I phrased it was it's so it's so amazing to see when people find their way But I don't it it's it's like, okay, so I'm gonna I think of it as being a little bit of a Don Shaffner thing. Well yeah, it's a it's a it's uh it's a is a is a virus of the mind. Watch the first episode of Dallas, watch the watch the last episode. I mean, that's a very new idea.

Install the betas. I did it for free healthcare. Like m more than like regular people. It's uh it's called uh it's called it's the one with the girl and they dance in their underwear, it's really sweet. Not until the episodes are out. Um it feel I feel fucking great. Please don't be mean when I when I put it this way, because you know what I you know what I'm really trying to get at. He's a gay guy who does gay guy stuff with a huge focus on this is gonna sound really obscure to you. That's a literal thing that happened. No, super r recently because uh It's the best after show we've ever done. We are walking on opposite sides of the sidewalk. Oh, fuck me. There's uh yep, there is a key to it in everything.

Like your thumb up, right? No, no, come on, come on. People talk about it uh the way they're talking about sleeping pills. Oh boy, did you see Mitchell? We don't know. Since the beginning of this show, literally, I've tried to think of a good well but now we know me media i is death, but there's no good Wes Anderson That will be that will be she so captured something. I found it. Said Hillary Clinton is a senator from blah dah da and you know former secretary of state or whatever, like blah blah blah blah Yeah, so I I I I've been admonished not to read things I've texted to people. You you do need a tambourine or d or something because the antlers. I've gifted it to you. I get around it. Several kinds of other uh inner I wrote this with pen.

No, what there was was nice people projected. Oh, yeah. Oh, that when he is Herb, Herb and uh oh fuck. Alf says that we just watched it this week. Got more jobs. I uh I monkey buttered that one. Uh on the wall? Money's like money's like yeast. Don't touch it. Well, you you do? Not everybody is attracted or repulsed by the same thing. Right, which is why I'm really interested in your intersectional mania. Um the Oh shit, really? Anyways, um, but like first episode, last episode, because think about that. It's just more that like there's a phrase I've found myself using more often, which is that's not my story to tell. And so I do need to sort of like have little markers of masking tape along the way that show progress.

It's like a little I said if it's gonna be Babenzo or a um Can I close with Billy's review of the nineteen sixty five film The Sound of Music? So you can vote. No, but like but but I when I met you, are we allowed to talk and use real words for just a minute? Yep. Yes, but i uh uh to then immediately uh chunk someone into It's fucking incredible. I'm really sorry, I'll try to wrap this. You can't blame the ant for rubbing its butt on another ant and then and then walking toward the water. Anyway, it's a funny scene 'cause he's in the hallway and it's just it's just passing through the hall and I think it's, you know, literally Annie's hall. And it's it's like there there are specific it is a nickname.

But, you know, it's um straight A pluses this past year. It's really tough for me because for at least three or four reasons that are non-obvious, I cannot talk about this. I had to read the notebook before I saw the notebook, even though the the Oh wait wait wait the one with the high school the one with the the the couple? When a movie says loose adaptation, this is what I expect. It's it was approved, but like by me, but I I was out and and you know what I had? My family is dying. The world is stupid, right? I I don't think there even is Asian. I need some some hand some hand tambour some finger tambourines or something that I could play in here. Yeah, there's uh I d there's What's going like, oh, they have to come come there for a Like But like uh and remember it starts out and he's like talking about he was I was confused.

But no, I said to my kid, real talk the other day is because we're in the context of a different conversation. So cute. No, the book, the uh story of your life or whatever. The problem was, real quick, I was out of Gubba Penton, my main one. I'm fine. I was definitely gonna fall down at some point. I uh I'm I'm gonna do the no, no, no, no, no. It's not just about like making enough money to print brochures. No. That's correct, Your Honor. So you start by not listening, maybe then eventually hopefully you're not hearing. And it happened on air. Okay. Context. I didn't know if you were specifically a white a white non Hispanic. But like they have very little interest in the interesting part, which is the context.

And that's why you go to urinate at 10 a. And when more ants start walking in the direction. And he goes, he's Oh, hello hello? Especially in the midst of that show that is so emotionally dry in so many ways. But like I can't talk about this, but like my kids actually it'll make people either mad And that's fine. The last hat fell off. Mac rumors has some deals for rumpa bum bum Prime Day Bums, lovin' that bum. Yeah, yeah. I don't care the second it's the don't it's a very it's a it's like a very large man or something who lives in a golf course I found it. So then we catch up with Alex Cox. This show and I was um pop in. What is it? Well maybe if maybe casting casting says casting says yes and craft services he says we have apples.

I'm into it. Understand also, please, just for just for clarity, and if somebody wants to draw this, that's fine. Oh. What like but like but French Dispatch, it's like Isle of Dogs is such a weird fun swing to me Is old Alex back? It's a big problem here. And nobody could even really, because of history and time, if think about this, because it's kind of coded. I have a I have an acquaintance on Mastodon who just got through that. It's like watching the first episode of Curb actually because but then uh Which one is that? If he doesn't do this, he dies, I think. I was gonna ask how old was Dave or Craig and that's it. Where the stuff's arriving. Yeah, we sold uh two packs. I I yelled out. Just trying to match your energy.

You talked about not wanting people to talk about it on Mastodon when you had talked about it on Recdiffs. Yeah. Like, you know, w like it's like this yes or no question. So what so so I'm gonna try and stuff avoid saying Alexandra unless you give me dispensation. It's called the the clown popcorn trick. I'm I'm This is so fun to do. It's not. But it's like okay, but like that doesn't really get at I mean No, say more. You can tell people that you got married, but that doesn't mean everybody's allowed to fuck your wife. Yeah. Do you know this? God, I'm see, I'm just dulling Like I it's uh that whole show I I I treasure that show. I read the book, this is based on first, and when I saw Jesse Plemens appear on screen and he said his name was Tom White, I put my arms up into the air and cheered finally.

He drunk drove me home. That's a thing you used to do. Uh large adult sons. You can vote with your cards. Hey, hey, Alex. You also you have like like a lot of us, you have a comorbidity with ADHD. As a retired black marine. Yep, yep, yep. You know, when it rains here we get ants. And that is the the pinnacle of saying someone's name. Well you know, they did whatever their version of that was. And I was like, that's interesting. Um th I've never had any particular qualms about any of this. The first the real no people don't really watch the first season of Seinfeld. His AP lit. I am very scared. So I had my usual amount of GOBA penin and plus a little bit more. The Sound of Music 1965. Which is, you know, it's a pretty good death cab for cutie song.

So I take out my house key, I open it, I walk in my mother like Just please write that down. No, I I'm just gonna say I totally disagree because if we talked about French dispatch or asteroid city, I think we're not gonna have to get a lot of people. This is the the like aut uh tour and the begin the the beginning with the music and everything and all of the futura stuff and it's like, oh yeah, this is It's in my drafts. Holy shit, no. You know, Paul Lynn's boyfriend fell out of a window at a hotel here. Like I really I really I I like Jean. Because like it's it's kind of a shame that it's it's actually super a shame how tarred that is. Oh my god, I love that show so much. And they had funny first names for each other.

Um let's see. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part One. I'm totally fine. Yeah. The uh yeah, no, it's it's uh like hearing Mariah Carey for the first time and uh and uh What does it mean? This is during uh 2016. Like second third hand through Max was like, well, you know, mm Alex is And then he goes and he needs to get a new car. And I I think that anybody who thought about it s for a second would be able to We watched the first episode of ELF and the last episode of ELF and no other episodes of Alf. And it's a strange decision. Two jobs. I want people to follow me. Cheesecloth and Vaseline, $3,600. We don't have a telephone to call and find our stuff. I'm a raven.

I mean, I I was kinda surprised at myself because I didn't I didn't do the thing I did five, ten years ago where it's like You know you're supposed to go like no I do this for my work. Oh, he could do, you know what? You didn't you didn't you couldn't be fucked to tell me that that you had different pronouns. Okay, I'll write it down and come back to it.

That guy you can't help him. That's just how it is now. I did that one night after having Right? You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. It really uh bummed me out because people if It used to be called Eureka Valley. You're you m you're not married in some states probably, right?

Exploratorium and Alcatraz plus the Enterprise for Youth program. Oh, these are really good. I had a little bit of the lamictal situation, not the bad one, but I had the lamictal situation of I don't think this is doing th anything for me until I stop taking it. But you're supposed to come in and vote. Money's like yeast. This is Do By Friday, a weekly challenge podcast with Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. He said something I didn't like and I said, fuck your monkey. I bet it was probably a good decision on balance, but frankly I don't care. So but l so like let's say you're like a normal like Irish tradesman in uh San Francisco, which is what a lot of San Francisco used to be. But let's say it's nineteen seventy-nine Okay.

It's a very new idea. What the fuck is happening right now? Like he got you remember like the thin white duke you think about like station to station? Yeah like I went to AA and I quit drinking Okay, that should probably be the art is the Mr. And like, you know, there was when you it was so interesting what was happening in San Francisco in so many ways. I'm like, you know, you little fuck. Oh no that no no no but I'm just saying his his his sense of It's it's always funny, but like the kid knows about how cheesecloth or Vaseline on the lens make people look all fuzzy. I know challenge, but can I just say one thing super quick? All I want is a peace of mind, you know. Studio? Oh, the three wise men, they bring things from that's where the prime day gift idea comes from.

I think it's a good thing. Old it's old Alex back. You know, Paul Lynn was, in addition to being the center square, was Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, where he was he was absolutely the gay guy. The yeah well I I'm Oh whoa. You know those necks are a result of natural selection And you're like well, maybe, but like there's also this guy. I don't remember that being my kid's name. Yeah. Which, you know, therein lies madness. Like John John did something on a recent episode. Mm-hmm. Found it! Don't do a Harrison Ford, but like you you've got your hand and it's in front of you. I certainly wouldn't want to move there. Oh god. So last night I dosed myself so hard with everything. It's I was gonna say you were like a the you were like the man with the who sold the hats and then the last one.

How you doing? Uh am I dying? I don't even remember And he still wouldn't he still wouldn't talk about AIDS. Strap in for a strap in for another one. Like it it it was just a w a very strange were true. Because if you said if you said to Alexander The narrative was also you were born gay and it's not a choice. But in in Indiana And in the end and in the end it will not honor your insurance The other ants pick that up. Oh my god. I want people to like do it. He has to read all these books this summer, in addition to the two jobs. Oh my God, we're not listen, for the four people who listen to the show don't deliver to the house without any intervention from us. As many of my father's followers know America is a very strange country right now.

It's the first time ever that I can't believe we didn't talk how's it and then we'll we'll stop after this. Somewhat uh susceptible to things like weather. Okay, anyway, I'll just so but but all you gotta know is and it was I think it was actually split on the webpage. It's a lot more com it's so much more complicated. Like your brain chemistry is really complicated and doctors look at you periodically just to make sure they're not missing anything, right? And John says it's okay if we release it publicly. Like your need to file things into folders I like, oh my God, look at me. Wait, one more one more. Mm-hmm. No, no, no, no. I'm in recovery. Oh yeah, I mean it's so it happened. I know. Is there like a color coded like this is Paul Simon's in it.

And of course there's the cocaine bin. No, I mean like if you if you if you don't really Have you given much thought to what your first tattoo will be? It's like getting tattoos. Die Hard. And this is the last time I will speak of it. But it was also just that I wanted to know that I was centered in the doorway as well as moving forward. We we don't say clown anymore. Fox. But it is fucking amazing for it to be up. Like that's not even a still around? Then th they're different than what you used to have. And I was like, oh fuck me, that's a terrible y you know, just because I I am not circling that box That was funny. And if you're be what you're not realizing is that the complexity of your own life But it's so galling to me how queer people are expected to explain and defend.

So you can't, you know But they they rub their butts on each other uh and then and then the scent gets passed. And then it was 1984. And I think it's uh con uh something, Daniel Kahneman. Like that was an easy one. And so he uh and so yeah, and that's when he made those records. Oh, ten and the royal Oh the royal tenin bombs. Trump says we should make people pay for weather reports. I mean I'm practically high It's so nice for everyone to be here. It's people fold in half. Luckily, you no longer need a lawyer. Why don't you ch Why don't you just like guys? I rewatched that first episode recently. You have you're officially covered in glory. Yeah, right. Whatever that Mac is that I'm using right now.

So you get it, but you put you put uh you put a f new-ish beta on an Android device that you'd never used before, correct? You used to be able to you do it in iTunes, and that's how Coxness Yes. It doesn't just take courage. Yes. I'm still shocked that I'm And then other ants start walking. Don Schaffner is very good at saying people's names. The Alf the first episode of Alf, because somehow we're becoming obsessed with the idea of Alf. Has he seen a r uh a rival because Wait, my puppy. And it's his first like I love Rushmore. That's what they say, right? Like m he was he was further down his journey than you or her. I love the paintings on the walls. You net me in the healthcare. So somebody at cards write this.

The uh well or like is Alex using opioids was was I have to adjust a lot of my medication every few years. And sometimes with two of them. Not Wilford Brimley. You're not not me, don't give me valor, but like m. The lobster. Yeah, but you're right. Fast acting. Um so I got to this I got there. I didn't mean that at all. Yes, yes. He always knows what time it is. That's part of what's so perplexing because it's Right? Nail again is Mr. So Indiana's an abortion desert. Yeah. And then and then the uh and all the kids. But saying that Donald Trump lives in a golf course makes it sound like some kind of personal shire. And I all I'm trying to say here is that that used to be s used to be Fuck you.

See, you're sharper than me. You were chunked into being red. Is it a choice? Um No, they just got the thing and it's like yeah, mostly it's just a lot of paperwork. They're both very attractive. Alex I inst the day the day what the Tuesday or whatever that the betas came out. Well not current currently, no, but yeah, yeah. It's just a little toasty as we But I mean it's just it's one of those One of the other waiters who went to his house to play guitar. Yeah. The it yes it is. He had cable TV in 1968 but never watched it because he was making busy, very busy making deals. What I'm saying is it used to be nearly impossible to come out. I'm just no, but you get you get what I'm saying? For uh H Remember he's in the she's in the hot tub with Barney?

Very impressive. and there's no ants, and you come back at 3 30 and there's so many fucking ants. Happy Days had a whole different thing going on for the first year of the show. What's my kid's name? Oh, poser. You get a CGI Bing Crosby and they could do a Prime Day song together. I think that's the line. No, no, no, no. It wasn't serial. And the idea of recovery being this process broader process adjacent to twelve-step programs. I there's always that But like, and when that happens to you Oh boy, you know what? And so on the one hand you've got people who are very heavily self-identifying as AA twelve step style Which is something that it's a term people still use if you go two blocks uh west.

Okay. So imagine on Billy's on Billy's It's great. Die Hard is my favorite air duck movie. Maybe arcade fire. The clown I thought. And his father was an unsuccessful carpenter who was probably an alcoholic. Now Max said that too. He has never eaten cheese. Go ahead. And I'm I'm grateful that we're friends and we do this show. But then eventually you go like fucking of course I'm gay, you guys. If you got married yes. Intersectional maniac. But like, you know, it's it's that kind of thing where you're like I I forgot my mantra. Yep, yep. It's a very strange decision. And I and I got and a little when I walked through the door in the bathroom I kinda went this look this a little bit. It sounds fancy.

Where I can see Ben Carson. It used to be O'Diels and Bomwitz. There were so many deals yesterday. The uh we've got them this Alex, are you sharp today? I'm alright. And what I want to say today is um I I Um multiple multiple things. It's a little bit easier now in in Chicago. Maybe it was just it was just Max uh Max or one of the Josh is just blowing an air horn for three hours. Well I mean do people not know that uh it's And he would say stuff like, um And I I knew from the go It's a it's AA is a lot like Scientology. So for sake of argument, and forgive me, this is not science, but if you've got imagine a star pattern around the And like but that's the result of that. Oh, this is and Brady's bits.

Challenge? Like, yeah, I guess. Because No, but like there's still the there's two specif two specific things that I'm c I I mean I can say I know because these lines are still Like the way you vote, like tip. Be honest The quote, new folks listening to this show speculate. I don't know. But let's say you were one of those people Uh it's got Jeff Goldblum. And I never knew why. Well how how long would it take? Now why is this amazing? Use your use your fucking bully pulpit to get people to know that I'm awesome and yeah, post that photo. Like you know, it was good for a while, Marh. Like I I yeah, that no problem. Am I wrong? The drums a prime day gift, par-um-pa-bum-um Not the whole thing. You know that one Steve's Especially especially for our first cut of this.

And at the end, we gave uh And that's why I say things that sound snarky, like Um The way that Tony Roberts says it says Max in Annie Hall. People like can call me Alexander. It's almost like he's a full separate person with his own agency that you don't want to broadcast. Yes, it was when um and uh uh G. And what was the the the the and the second part of the bit was And the Castro. I do. Absolutely. My dad has a compulsive disorder. I was pretty drunk. If I could jump in, because you're you're really you're you're you're fucking this cake. It's one of those epic like this this this piece, lar the what is it, the era of the large adult sun or something like that? They I don't know. Oh fuck your monkey.

And and then suddenly this is like a scene from Brazil. They've been together since like the late sixties. But people kinda liked Fonzie. Yesterday he solved the strands with no clues and threw it in my fucking face. Um, and then do you want to do the challenge in a minute? I got out of the car, you know I put it on on this iPad, I put it on my my regular iPad. Well, I mean, look at the way I think we've nailed it. The uh yes. Um okay wait wait I can do this if the punchline is in blue No! The guy who played the grandfather in a hard day's night. Or is it you know what? Because we did not have a lawyer, Matthew needed two witnesses. And then eventually at some point, hopefully, The uh Yeah. No, that wouldn't be death cab.

That sucks. Because they're they're all gone from Twitter. You're you're Write that down. Please keep going. They just start going places Because apparently that's a meme. Uh I think his name was probably Dave or Craig or Do you want a happy meal? Strike that. My father you know isn't that how it started? Go ahead. Old Alex, we called them. Oh I had I'm sorry, two and a half And I think at that point, Matt There's never one reason, there's never one way. I think most of them are gonna say, oh no, it's a good deal more complicated than that. Uh my kid has great taste, makes great decisions. Oh, there's Billy. Yeah. This little tickle of like, oh. Am I wrong, Alex? It's like no no, this is like we're truly trying to build something here.

And like the w we do that in these broad cultural strokes in order to make it something that can be grokked by people who don't understand what the fuck. God, they're so You like apples Playsay elegant. Let's say it is 19. That's just a jacket I put on. I have an acquaintance on Mastodon who just got the papers from the government that says they're allowed to be who they are. I have an orb. Oh my god, the lobster. Oh it's from her is it herb from optics and design? No, this is we're talking here that's like sixth, seventh grade. It'll fuck him up. Okay, this is a normal thing for So what what was it called? Yeah, I don't think you're the one that that admonished me. But Elton John, like a lot of guys, like quietly admitted that he is a bisexual man.

No, come on. I I I was confused and then made in a correct assumption. All right. Well no, I mean here's the thing it was a like it was a different time. Um d don't be a cook. We're we're we've pre-recorded a couple episodes. But boy, that does not begin to get into why you clicked other. This is not like being into the Thompson twins for three months. Cast plus crew salary, $200. It was a style at the time. Yeah. Only because No, but you know the one um uh you know that slate podcast where they were talking about the fighting the the Briggs. This is one reason. You're not you're not trying to get that D Yep, that's correct. Then you go to Utah and it's like, oh that's right. The paintings are I don't wanna get a call from Ronan Farrow.

I had two beta blockers. Well did you did you think about bouncing? They have parts of it. Oh shit. Syracuse is right. How are you, man? Plow jacket. Let's even go that far. And it's because he fucking rules. Ladies really like uh I really like him too, especially in Drive Don't be weird. You're a normal person who doesn't understand things. He has a Daniel Boone hat. Well actually, it was um Jule Jules oh fuck, Julia um the Okay okay, I see. We are two pals I had to go to court with Matthew to say yes Watching like God, oh he's such a fucking nerd. No problem. You just walk around and uh people look like envelopes folded in half. I said you know what you were doing great and you were sharp and now I've set you off like like the piece of shit that I am.

Oh wait, I I think I have that. I was gonna say Oh my god we rewatched First episode of Seinfeld, last episode of Seinfeld. Marty Funkhauser, you know? That movie's fucking terrifying. I'm wearing wearing my pants. Oh it's when you put a happy meal box on your dick. I know, I know. I tried to get it. Yes. And in a similar way, when I talk to my kid, I said something to my kid the other day, what's your first tattoo gonna be? Do whatever you want. And yes, of course, I put it on my phone. Reverse it. And the best Folly. Uh yeah, yeah. Okay, let me see if I got any more here. Yes, but it's not just courage. Sure. Kinda love that. I just know it driving by it on the highway. Oh, Indiana is Is this gonna be like a fucking green card?

Oh, somebody like his review of us. It was very odd. Um, but uh Oh prime day tree. You are you do seem you seem sharp. People ask you a question that's to them sounds incredibly straightforward. And like the ants that didn't find anything came back. There's something so How me and let me ask you this and please, you know, answer however you want to answer. No, that's I could tell I felt good. Jeff Goldblum's in it. No, let's do like a challenge. And uh and I was wearing a black vest, or as you call it, a waistcoat. I'm gonna give it to you, pigs and bunnies, because Alex thinks that's the thing we need to do. Oh wait, yeah, I take it back. Because everybody knows. Aren't they good? Like sometimes I I just I'm so reluctant about any of this celebrity news stuff.

And I I don't know why I said that, but it feels good. That would be fucking weird, but people do it. But um I'd like to I'd I I I aspire to be as good as the way Don Shaffner says Max. As somebody who now has watched and loved and quotes that show I uh I really I think it's really good. Yes, please. Because it implies that same thing. Um I was like, have you thought about what your first tattoo will be? Are you people you've never you didn't have Prime Day when you were a kid? They gotta keep parts of it because people it's like an Instagram location now. I'll always love Rushmore. You you decided to Yes. But like I those are those are silly. We used to think that it was a choice. Yeah, Irv Irving and Bert.

Over a thousand times she said it. This guy in his late twenties played Boston covers on guitar together. Um, of course, I'm still wearing my clothes from being a bus boy. Can you help me find my puppy So can I give a few of these? I'm I'm I'm trying to stop doing that. Yeah, no, absolutely. I love Pam so much. I don't know if I should mention that here. I see. Mm-hmm. Put your hand in the happy meal. What was that bit called? I figured it out. I don't think we do it as much now, but when I was when I was a kid It's like everybody it's Anna Karenana. No, I don't I I take it off and I'm still me Do you can you remind me? This is like different I need to make a pencil mark on the wall. Yeah. I know the original song.

Gia Tolentina This is this is why I kept recommending that podcast episode. And I I feel really bad sometimes when I listen back to our show that I I give you such a hard time about stuff, but Somebody's gotta talk about it. How did I get chunked? It's like Scientology with coffee. Okay, but now Um But when they when they meet, like it's If we watched uh Budapest Hotel. And I gotta tell you about the reality TV. They he was very laconic and he could he could fix electronic devices with his fist. I had the I had the a little bit of the um And I got home and my mom, somewhat unusually And the reason I remember the doorway there was Yes, I'm not sure. And it's it's impossible And and then there is the version, of course, Well he makes fun of Among Us, but he doesn't really play Among Us.

Huh? He got really skinny. They um are they No, I'm doing I'm gonna call I'm doing a call back to three minutes ago about the radio button joke. I wonder if he's uh uh was assigned warlock at birth. Okay, please please please please don't say a single syllable about it. I'm looking for it right now. I've never seen that and I never This is a new way I'm gonna start watching TV shows from other times. I ruined I ruined several jokes that were not funny to begin with. But for it to be what? Mm-hmm. Senor Plow No Es Macho, a solamente. But that it feels like using to me like when I've used Android, I feel like I'm using an airport kiosk. It's it was Okay, so but like you I'm a real disappointment to you Yeah.

I don't want to do that with your name if it's not I don't wanna make an ant trail of Alexandra if it's something. Could you make a Catholic gesture, please? I'm going to link it's he needs to be his own person, but he rules. And you go, My father. And it's not as simple, it's really not as simple as that. It was from a friend of friends of friends and I kind of made it to the internet, the You have a hand, right? I'm definitely still a little bit high. Did you think about like going, okay, that's the we've had our fun. It's not there's no you don't just And the the joke that makes that funny for the younger folks is I could tell. What are you talk what are you talking about? But I don't I but see my saying, even if you give me a special pass for the program I found out my kid had a different name a year before I found out.

Um Fole Folly Ford on a mountaintop in Tennessee. Oh And now I think I've adapted very well and you feel free to congratulate me. Yeah, he got he got he got nailed for cottaging.
