(upbeat music) - Hey everybody, this is Taylor and thank you for downloading episode 128 of POD as my co-pilot. Happy 2010. - Oh yeah! - And apparently I'm joined by the Muppet Show tonight. (laughing) I am joined as always by Taffy Carlisle Huffington. - Hello bitches. - And hello bitches, is that what you just said? - Yes. - Okay, 'cause you went a little tiny car for your little tiny peeps. - Exactly. - And Rodin, Rodin, what is that a reference from? - I have no idea. (laughing) - Fat actress. - Oh. - The one funny episode of Fat Actress. - Oh my gosh, I actually like-- - No, I thought there was a couple good episodes. - Yeah. - And the only other line that pops on my head is that do we really have to suck the dicks of the producers to meet Prince Tafani? Those are the two things that stick in my head from that show. - I know. - I thought that was a good show. - I can't see her without seeing crazy Scientologists anymore. My apologies to any of our Scientologist listeners. - Mr. Cruz, if you're listening. - Yeah, he's a die-hard listener. - He could be, you don't know. - That's right. We could be his guilty pleasure. - I wonder if we have any celebrities out there that listen to our show. - I think it's all based on the definition of celebrity. - I'm just gonna say, I think a lot of our listeners believe. Give real, we think we're celebrities. Come on. - Oh yeah, I know, I know. Delusions of grandeur, hurrah. - Exactly. - So it has been almost a month since we've done one of these? - It's been a year and a half. - Yeah, on purpose this time, not due to technical issues, we took our annual holiday break. We went on winter break, and winter it is. It is currently in the St. Petersburg area, 36 degrees. - It's awesome. - Yes, it's, we are, my house is so cold. My toes actually hurt a little bit right now. - Okay, it's 27 degrees here in the-- - Well, but you're used to that. - I'm not that used to it. It was like 15 last night. - Oh. - Oh, that's awesome. - Well, we were fortunate enough that we are currently taking care of a couple of extra pugs in our house. So they're kind of like those things that you snap, you know, you break in half and then they get real warm. Not that we did that to the pugs, but they are where they're very warm, and they're conveniently placed in various, you know, the small of the back and behind the legs and all that sort of stuff. So it makes it very hard to get out of bed in the morning. - That's what I have tank for. (laughing) - Only you do occasionally snap in and half. - I was like, he does make it very hard to get out of bed, but anyways. - Emphasis on hard. - Well, I will tell you though, I know that there are people who complain. I love this weather. I cannot even discuss with you how happy it makes, it actually makes me bounce. It makes me giggly. It does, it makes me twirly, and I get all-- - I thought that was tanks hips that make you bounce. - Well, and they don't want it either. (laughing) - No, I'm serious. I get like, I am a five year old. I can't handle this cold. I love it so, it makes me so happy. - Well, it's such an anomaly for down here. - Well, yeah, yeah. - I don't remember the last time it's been this cold. I mean, we've had nights where it's gotten down into the 40s over the last couple of years, but I mean, it literally, it's been getting down into the 20s here. - Well, they said that it hadn't reached that our region, the Tampa Bay region had not seen this cold spell since 1996, and that was only one night. And before then, it was like 88, like 1988 before they had seen temperatures that have lasted as long as they've, you know, have lasted. - There was actual talk of snow one night. - Real last night, because it rained yesterday morning, and at one point yesterday, when I got into my car, I have the navigation that when the temperature dropped to 33, it popped up and said ice possible. Be cautious when driving. I think it was just programmed, and I was like, what? Of course, I've never seen that on my car before. And it was 33, and it rained in the morning, and then it got, we had a little warm spell. Last night, driving home, it was down to 31. But of course, it was clear skies, which sucked, 'cause I was truly hoping that we were gonna have some flurries. I had, I thought, you know. I can't imagine, I mean, they said that we apparently got flurries, I think, back in 1989. - Yeah. - And, but I can't imagine with us being surrounded on water by three sides. I mean, I would say Tampa would get, I mean, from what Michael posted, I look like they got a little bit of something on at their house in Orlando. - Well, they said that they got, now a lot of people got frost, like on cars that were outside, and they got a little bit of ice, a little bit of frost type situation, especially up in Lakeland area. I'm surprised. I wonder if Ricky got anything. - I'm sure he did. - I'm sure he got something. - Well, from the sounds of, if you listen to Phil Monkeys, Ricky's been getting a lot of something lately. - Wow, well, anyways, but no, it's wonderful. - Yeah, at least it's forecast to be in the '50s. - Did you get any snow this week, Rodian? - A little bit, I think it was Monday, maybe Tuesday. It didn't really stick, but the, there's ice on the ground, 'cause it'd been raining so much around here, is that there's little pockets of ice in places, which is dangerous on the driving, but otherwise it just looks weird around here, so. 'Cause it's similar to Florida in the sense that it rarely stays cold, I mean, this cold for this long. - Right, and I mean, by the end of the week, they're talking about temperatures being back in the '70s here, so. - Yeah. - This was a fleeting glimpse into what everybody else seems to be going through in the country, and even then, we didn't get it that bad. What's so funny is when we went, we were at Target yesterday, and they were answering the phones. Literally, the phone would ring at the customer service, "Shant to the phone." Hi, this is Target, we have no space heaters, we have no firewood, we have no dura flames. I mean, that's how they were answering the phone. Everyone around here is sold out of everything that is even any kind of thermal blanket, any kind of space heater, any kind of wood, gone. They just did not know what to do. We were at a Starbucks last night that were out of milk, and we were like, what? And they're like, we have sold so many hot drinks. They were just not used to the flow of it. He's like, we've had to send people on two different runs to buy milk, he goes and we're out. He's like, we're expecting our shipment, and tonight, he's like, and we're not gonna go buy anything, and they still had like three more hours before they were gonna close, and there were signs everywhere, no milk. Well, that's not true. They can make milk, or they can make drinks with whole milk only. They had no 2% or skim. - Oh, okay. - And I was like-- - Which, that's like eating cheese. (laughing) - That's a good latte right there. - Oh God. - So, so the point we're trying to get to to you, ladies and gentlemen, is it's cold. (laughing) So how is everybody's holiday? I know we've, I've seen all of you, but I mean, the listeners have, and so what's been going on with everybody? I have a lot to talk about as far as different things that have happened over the last couple of weeks as, we got to see Rodan. - Yes. - We did get to see. We did get to see Rodan. We got to see Rodan for what, three or four days? - Yeah. - Yeah. - I think it was three, but yes, definitely a lot of fun. - And in the tradition of pot as my co-pile, the three of us were in a room multiple times together and never taped anything. (laughing) - That's 'cause we were naked. - Well yeah, it's a video. - How can you do video podcasts and all of us are naked? - There'd be too many distractions. It would just be 45 minutes of, oh my God. - Good idea. - Can you hide something under there? It would be a lot of just-- (laughing) - Boy Scouts can camp under that. Jeez. - Boy Scouts can camp under that. - The title of episode 128. (laughing) So yeah, that was a lot of fun. What did we do? We went to Ikea, Rodan and Babaloo and I spent four hours in Ikea. - Yay, we had Swedish meatballs and Lincoln berries. - We bought blorgs and flarts and clerks. (laughing) - You know, I have not unpacked my Ikea bags still. They're just still in the blue bags. - Yeah, you weren't even on 275 and I already had everything out and was already had it all set up. But actually that's not true because the little hutch thing that I bought with you for my desk ended up being a complete nightmare. - Oh. - Where I had to drive the next night back to Ikea to take back the legs for it, only to find out they were. In fact, the legs that I needed, I just didn't have to install them the way it told me to install them. - Oh. - Yeah, so it cost me additional $3 in tolls plus gas to buy the exact same thing for myself. Plus the fact that I'm sure, you know, you were a little twirly. - Yes. (laughing) - I believe Babaloo was holding on to the oh shit bar the entire drive as I was weaving in and out of cars on the Leroy Selman. And considering there's only usually about four cars on there, you can see how crazy I was driving. - Yeah, I still can't get used to you guys calling it that. To me, it'll always be the cross-town expressway, but whatever. - Yeah, no, it's so rare that I'm on it that I just call it the Leroy Selman. So I don't even think anything of it. - What was the name of the bar that wasn't, was it Impulse, the bar that was right by the, by the forum, the same P times forum? - There were a couple of different ones, but I think it was Impulse, all right, it was a different couple of names, but it was Impulse at some point, yeah. - And then eventually became the Eagle. - Right. - The Tampa Eagle. - Yes. - 'Cause that was the night that I was there and they had the big wooden X in the middle of the courtyard. And I'm like, "What is that?" And they're like, "Oh, that's a St. Andrews cross." And I'm like, "What's that for?" And then somebody explained to me what a St. Andrews cross was and I was kind of like, "Oh, I got it." - That may have been the time I got blown in the restroom. - Oh, was I with you? - I, you may have been. - Probably standing around. - Is a St. Andrews cross like a euphemism for some sex act? - No, a St. Andrews cross is like a crucifix, but it's an X instead of a T. - Right. - So that way someone can straddle on in. - When we say the Eagle, the Eagle is a bar, it's usually a leather bar or an S&M bar. Actually, it's more of a leather bar. It's probably an S&M bar. And they have Eagles all over this great country of ours, Ergo, the name Eagle. And that's just happened to be where they had one, like a flogging cross in the middle of this courtyard. You would have been right at home, Taffy. - I was gonna say, it sounds awesome. Go ahead. - Well, you know, it's that way you can tie your arms, your legs at the appropriate distance apart from each other and then go to town. - Right. - So apparently you didn't need that 'cause you were in the men's room. - Apparently. - Anyways, anyway, so yeah, so we did that. We saw Avatar. - Yes, which I loved and apparently the rest of the country agrees, except for Taylor. - Yes. - No, that's not true because all of the, even People Magazine, Entertainment Magazine, Time Magazine, Rotten Tomatoes, they all have said the exact same thing that Taylor said. I have to tell you, they said, it's beautiful to look at, but the story is so cliche. You can see every turn coming and every twist coming and it's just a regurgitated story, but it's beautiful to look at. - It's Pocahontas in space. - It's Pocahontas in space, yeah. That it's, the story is so overly done. - Well, it's Pocahontas plus Fern Gully plus Dances with Wolves. It's Dances with big hammerhead rhinos, pretty much, because it was, I didn't care for it. Now, take the, well, not the opposite, but I saw nine the other night. - Uh huh, which has done horribly. - It has done horribly. It has done horribly and I can see why it has done horribly because it's, there's parts of it that are great and then there's parts of it that you are looking to slam your head in the collapsible seat that you're sitting in. I mean, certain, certain performers are, again, anytime Nicole Kidman shows up, - She's horrible. - You just think, you know, I bet you're crazy. Like that's how it goes to your head when, you know, the light, you know, appears on her. And Sophia Loren is just, I play the mother, but my tits are huge. It's just bad. And I didn't like Daniel Day-Lewis in it, but then I realized about three quarters of the way through the movie, you're not supposed to like him. - Yeah, you're not supposed to like him. - Yeah, he's a scuss ball. And so in other words, he plays a really good scuss ball. The one who plays his wife, I forget how to pronounce her name, she is, she's so good in it. And I haven't bought the soundtrack yet, but I'm looking forward to buying it eventually. And her songs are the ones that I really like the best. - Penelope Cruz was great in it. And even though I'm not a Kate Hudson fan, I thought her song was pretty good. We have the soundtrack, which is a horror. Unfortunately, the Littlest Huffington went to see it. So, you know, she's trying to figure out a way that she can walk around and, you know, a corset and strip her heels. Nothing she doesn't do that already, but she's always in love with it. - Yeah, Penelope Cruz, I don't normally care for Penelope Cruz, but she was very, her song was really enjoyable. And the Kate Hudson song was okay. I liked Judy Dench. I thought Judy Dench looked awesome in the dress that she wears. - Yeah, yeah. - For her performance. - Even though Nicole Kidman's song is okay, but it's still, it's like, again, I'm about shit crazy. I mean, you know, with my hair color is clear that I do not understand how they managed to plump her up when she's on camera. 'Cause when you see her like, you know, like in real life, she's like a stick. And then on camera, she looks like she can lose five pounds. - But in the movies. - Well, now she had just had a baby for that. When she had just had her daughter right after she, yeah, film this one. She is the worst part of the movie to me. I don't understand the appeal of her in this movie, but, you know, and thank God she has a pretty small role. Her role isn't huge. - Well, I think that she didn't look all that great, her body, I mean, the dresses and the costumes and everything in it were beautiful to look at. But the one part where she has on this really great like champagne color dress and where the guy has her, you know, Guido, the Daniel Day Louis, has her turning to the left and to the right. And I thought, her body's kind of gross looking. Like, she's real like pasty and not arabesque. That's a cheer move. What's the, what do they call that? - Ruben-esque. - No, she wasn't Ruben-esque. It was, her skin was all like real like porcelain. - She was like, she was a glittery vampire. - No, hardly, but I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I just thought that her body wasn't very nice. The dress was amazing as we're just about all the dresses, including Sophia Lorenz and her enormous tits. - Yeah. - That apparently are real. Those apparently are real boobs. - Well, as we know from Tappy's that it is possible to have boobs that large in real life. - I think you mean Melanie, but thank you anyways. (laughing) - Hi Melanie. - Yeah. - Let's see any other movies besides Avatar 9. - I'm sorry, we've been watching movies at home. We just watched Julie and Julia, which was enjoyable. I very much, I could have watched Meryl Streep. I could have watched the Julia Child part the whole time. - Yeah, I remember reading that a lot of critics said that. - Yeah, Amy Adams, who I normally love. - Well, when I see her, I kept thinking of Drop Dead Gorgeous. And when she was the cheerleader in Drop Dead Gorgeous. And that was the only redeeming part that I kept thinking, okay, she played that part and that was good. But the whole, I'm plucky and I'm gonna write a blog and oh, nobody likes me and I can't get a book deal and I couldn't take that. But anything, I could have watched Meryl Streep as Julia Child reading the phone book and I would have been completely happy. - Well, they were saying pretty much the same thing about her movie that just came out this week about going to Ireland to propose or whatever. It was just, it's one of those where she's taking roles that apparently she has no business taking or they're like casting her into stuff that is making her look like a crazy, I need to get married right now, Jennifer Aniston. - Right, she's taking the roles that Jennifer Aniston needs to take and we're used to take. And Jennifer Lopez apparently is still taking 'cause she's got a movie coming out that's pretty much the exact same thing. - Yeah, so. - See, when I think Amy Adams, I still think enchanted. I thought that was a great movie, but then when I get the image of her out of my head of that horrible movie, Cruel Intentions 2. - She was thinking Cruel Intentions 2? - Yes, and she's the villain, she's the batchet crazies. She plays the Sarah Michelle Geller role, yeah. It's this little Amy Adams where it's hysterical. - Where are you watching movies like Cruel Intentions 2? - I watch Cruel Intentions 2 because I'm up at 3.30 in the morning when nothing else is on television folding towels and I'm like, "Ah, soft core teen porn, yes." (laughing) I watch it. - I'm re-tiling my tub while watching Spinamax at 4A. (laughing) - Well, I did see Sherlock and Princess and the Frog as well. - I saw Sherlock. - We were gonna go see Princess and the Frog today, but we ended up not, we got too late of a start. - It's not doing very well, they said. The numbers are not good on Princess and the Frog. - Yeah, I think that it didn't carry as long as they were expecting it to, but it is a really, really good movie. And it makes me wanna be... - Black. - A black nine-year-old little girl. I mean, it just... - But aren't you a black nine-year-old little girl? (laughing) - So, it was magical and nice and there's a couple of times when, 'cause I went to go see it with two other guys, so it's three guys in their late 20s, early, mid 30s, and a room full of moms and their daughters. It was just one of those like, "It's Disney Princess time." (laughing) - God. - It was a little creepy that we were there, but it was really good. - Well, normally you would have been there with some nine-year-olds, so it makes sense that you would know. - Oh, yeah. - So, yeah, so I did all... - First pedophile joke of 2010. (laughing) - So, we all managed to tear up a little bit at various points, so it was good. - That's nice. I do really wanna see it. Babaloo is, he's definitely like, "Can we go see it? "Can we go see it?" 'Cause apparently, I'm taking a nine-year-old girl to go see it. (laughing) - What's funny is the fact that I actually have two children that are girls and neither one of them wanna see it. - Well, that's because your children are racist. There's a difference. (laughing) - I'm kidding. - No. - Go ahead. (laughing) - There is an aspect of it that's really weird in the sense that it's like white girls can have dreams and all they have to do is dream it and they'll get it, but black girls, they have to work for it. They have to wish for it and work for it to be able to get it. That's not what the intent was. The intent was, you know, you have to work to get your dreams, but it just seemed a little bit like, white girls give what they want, black girls you have to work for it. - But you know what though, I take, I take Umbridge with that because to me, all the Disney princesses that were girls for the most part were kind of stupid. Ariel gave up her voice so she could be a human, so she could be with Prince Eric. Now, granted Prince Eric was hot, but she gave up her voice. No! - Belle gave up anal to be with the beast. (laughing) - Thank you. Beast, I want to give you my black cherry. (laughing) - Oh. (laughing) - Oh. - Well, I can't remember her name, but the princess in Princess and the Frog is the hero. So, and it's obviously she's the hero the whole time, and so she's smart, she's, she's put in a position where she didn't really have control over it, so it was good. (laughing) - We've lost her for good. - Oh, God, that's awesome. (laughing) - Well, I'm glad you enjoyed Princess and the Frog. - Yeah. - I can't catch my breath. (laughing) - Oh. (laughing) - Oh, God. (laughing) - Let's just sit and see how long it takes for her to come back. - I'm sorry, I'm trying to catch my breath. - No, this is fine, this is perfect. - No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you can cut it out. I can't help but-- - No, why would I? - I keep envisioning her lifting up the yellow dress looks good in the back. (laughing) - Sorry, sorry, the look on Cogsworth's face. (laughing) - The shock, Lumiere, Lumiere is a gaffed, I don't know, I just, I have to visualize all of those things. Sorry. (laughing) - I'm sorry, good. - This is what it's all about people making tap completely lose it. - Yeah. (laughing) - What did you call it, her black cherry? - Yes. (laughing) - Oh, she's got some blood in her stool. - That's, what? - Apparently, she's got some blood in her stool, otherwise she'll be brown. - Oh, God. - Oh, God. - Now see, you take a deep moment and you ruin it. - That supposedly is what it's called when you give up the big A, you're giving up your black cherry. Oh, Rodin and I made up a Rodin and Bob Blue. - You wonder what Rodin made up someone's black cherry? - No, we did not make up someone's black cherry. - It's like speaking of scat. - Yeah, no. Rodin and Bob Blue and Eric, the Southern boy who was in town visiting family and me made up a new sex term phrase. - I forgot what that, forget when you're in the shower with somebody and they have to poop and you stand at the bottom of their leg and they poop and it runs down their leg. It's called a Filipino month slide. (laughing) - Oh. - We were waiting outside of Fridays or chilies or Applebee's or some shit and Eric, the Southern boy and Taylor are like trying to think of new ways to perform scat. - No, we're not. - Because all the ways that we've tried have gotten so old and boring. And not the cool scat like, you know, Jason Mraz. (laughing) Actual scat. - I wasn't aware Jason Mraz was into scat. - I think you said that Jason Mraz is scat. - No. - I like Jason Mraz. He's, Bob Blue was watching a video with him on YouTube today and I just walked past and went, "Jurty little monkey boy." (laughing) - Speaking of dirty little monkey boy, why were Dan was here? We all went to like, Karab is one night and the little was Huffington was with us. And at one point, Rodan and the little less Huffington are leaning up against the wall while we're waiting for our table. And a group of boys walks by. Rodan looks at the little as Huffington and goes, "You can have that one." (laughing) - I wasn't aware of that because we were sharing a conversation about which boys were cute and which boys weren't. - No, I'm so glad that my 34 year old co-host and my 13 year old daughter (laughing) had this touching moment of togetherness. - But they have very different tastes and boys. That's what we learned. - Yes, she definitely likes the alternative boys. - Yes, she likes them older and you don't. (laughing) - Oh, no, I'm saying she likes, you know, the ones who look dangerous for all gothi inside. - She likes the ones that like flat iron their hair and wear, you know, skinny jeans, that kind of crap. Yeah, Sebastian's, she likes Sebastian's boys, which I think are gross, but that's all right. She's weird. - So glad that you two could share that moment. - I believe that was the night that I had one too many blackberry sangrias. - It was. - I believe that is true. - And they were damn good. - After the first one, he goes, these are good. We're like, jeez, what did that boys come from? - It took like two steps before he was, I don't know if it was because they were so sugary and he was having a diabetic moment or if he was getting drunk really fast, but it was hitting him hard and fast. Well, I definitely would just gonna ride out whatever sugar train that would put me on 'cause it was, they were awesome. So much so that Tappy learned how to make them and made them for New Year's Eve. - Really? - Yes. - Yes, I did. - What did you guys do for New Year's Eve? Besides have blackberry sangrias. - I gave them my black cherry, except we're calling it a blackberry sangrias. (laughing) - Did you give them your blackberry cherry? - Happy New Year. - Bitch over and threw up her yellow dress. - That's right. - I expect cover art to be a picture of black cherries. I'm just telling you right now. (laughing) - The cover art's going to be a picture of Belle with her skirt up. I will find one somewhere. I don't know how, but it's happening. - Oh, there's plenty of websites dedicated to that kind of stuff. - Thank you, I'm sure. - No, we went to get back to your original question. We went to one of Tappy and Tang's favorite restaurants that's out on the beach for dinner. We went to an early dinner because apparently we're 70. And I was probably one of the best takes I've ever had in my entire life. It was a really wonderful dinner. And then we went back to the Huffington's and hung out and watched Dick Clark, or watched not Dick Clark. - No, we watched Anderson Clark. - I heard that Dick Clark was very rawer bled bad. - No, no, no. We watched Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffith. - Oh. - I don't know where the hell he was, but we watched it. - No, I was asleep. There's pictures of me where you're taking pictures and I'm asleep in the chair next to him. - We were all awake at midnight though. I mean-- - We were all awake at midnight. - To someone that put you. - I don't say that. No, you guys were at the house until like two o'clock, I think. - Well, 'cause we watched that stupid VH1 top 40 of 2009 of which half of them were like, I have no idea what this song is. I've never heard this song in my entire life. 'Cause I'm too busy downloading Glee songs. I know what's in the actual top 40. - It was fun to make fun of all the ridiculous videos. And is it okay? - Now, Taylor and I were asking this the other day. Now, I realize that Taylor doesn't listen to a lot of stuff that's top 40 on the radio, but I know Rodan kind of does. - Yeah. - Have you noticed that no one can make a fucking song by themselves anymore? - Oh my God, I fucking hate the whole featuring-- - But what five people? - Yeah, I get residuals. I understand that. I understand the whole concept of, all I have to do is record a 10 second track and they're gonna put it in every 25 seconds and I'm gonna reap some sort of a check, but can no one make a song by themselves? I don't know. - It irritates me. I mean, that's one of the reasons why I will not listen to R&B artists like at all. - Racist. - No, it has to do with the little snippets that they plug in there. It has to do with the fact they're black. - Wow. - Wow. - You just put it right out there, didn't you? - Apparently black princesses are the only thing that Rodan gets on top of. - And black cherries. - And black cherries. - But in black cherries. This is the black, black, and black episode. Black cherries, black princesses, and black rappers. - Well, I can understand not winning to support, you know, Jay-Z going, oh, oh, every 30 seconds of every song that's on the radio, but I just, every song that they played. And it wasn't even necessarily R&B songs. It was everything that was on the top 20 or the top 40, whatever it was. I was just like, I have no, I've never heard of this band before. And about 15 of the songs did have a little wane in them, whether it was a rock song, a rap song, a pop song, a dance song. - Oh yeah, no, no tellerance for that. - But little wane and little John and Timberland, and I mean, even like now Lady Gaga and Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, and they all have 14 people in their songs, either sing the fucking song or don't. And we were talking about this. - Yeah, it's the whole trying to make a song an event thing. - Well, but if every song is an event, then they're not events anymore. - Agreed, I wholeheartedly agree. And it's mostly radio edits, 'cause you'll find that the CDs don't have a lot of that shit in it. I mean, they'll have some versions of the songs on there, but they'll have like the pure version and then the ones with the featuring. - Well, it was, I don't get it. - I don't know, what did you do New Year's Evert in? - We went to one of the two gay bars here in Monroe. - I think the question is, who did you do? - No, Wolfie was supposed to come up, but he didn't, so now we're-- - Is he still around? - No, we're just friends now. - We've officially ended things 'cause I got mad. But anyways-- - Okay, okay, okay. - Something tells me there's a story there. - There's a story. - Not really, it was more of just a fade, which pissed me off, so anyways. - Okay. - We went, I went with Scott, and a guy I did it over the summer. I can't remember what my nickname was for him. I don't think I'd land it on one, so I'm just gonna call him Clifford. - Is he a big red dog? (laughs) - He's, but so he stayed the weekend, and he came up from, he lives near Nashis in Mississippi, and he came up, and we went to dinner at a fancy restaurant, and then, you know, the Monroe's fanciest, and we went to-- - TGI Fridays? - Oh, we went to, it's called Sage, it's very good, actually. - That's a pretty name for a restaurant. - Yeah. It's got great food, the chef's really cute, too. (laughs) And then we went to the gay bar around here called Rhythms, which was filled with fetuses. We apparently, like, every 18-year-old thought that they were a shot boy. Not that they actually worked at the club, but they thought they were a shot boy, so they just kinda like walked around with nothing but their underpants on, which was just weird. But apparently, at some point, they broke out the champagne, and instead of putting them on glass, they gave glasses around for a little while, and they got tired of that, and so then they just started bringing the bottles around, and then, like, forcing the bottle down your throat. - Oh, well, that's lovely. - Yeah, and so, which the chef boys were so drunk that it was mostly like taking a champagne shower. - Oh. - Is that anything like a Filipino mudslide? (laughs) - Kind of, just with champagne, instead of poop. (laughs) - Well, it is the new year. So, but because Wolfie and I were not seeing each other anymore, I did end up making out with another boy at the bar. - Well, of course. - And so did Scott. Scott made out with a boy at the bar, too. He never makes out with people at the bar, or ever. - Well, I'm sure Scott reaches you announcing death as a masses. - Well, no, I mean, he's very proper, so-- - He's a lady. - He's not, yes, PDA is not, he's very prudence, so PDA is not one of the things that he does, and so the fact that he kissed a guy, repeatedly at the bar, was very good to me. - Now, is it appropriate for him to bring his little dance book into the bar and have people sign in before, you know, the latest Deborah Cox remix comes on? (laughing) - Catillion for the gay crowd. Proper etiquette. - I think a Catillion is for the gay crowd, even when the gay crowd is in perfect. - Yeah. - That's true. So Taffy and I met a podcasting celebrity. - Really? - Yes, and this was a very, this was a very big deal for me. This was a much bigger deal for me than I thought it was gonna be. We met Patrick from the PNS explosion. - Oh yeah, that's what you did tell me that. - Yeah. - It's very cool. - He was a sweetheart. - He was, he was, he was, he was, he was great. He was down in Sarasota visiting family, and he mentioned on the show he was gonna be down there, so I sent him an email, never expecting him to actually respond to it. And then there was an email on Facebook saying, yeah, totally give me a call, and I might have pooped my pants a little bit when I saw it. (laughing) So we went down and had lunch with him. He, he was the nicest guy. He's everything you'd expect him to be as far as, you know, the way he is on the show. He was just the sweetest guy ever, and I was very shy, for some reason. I just sat and just with my mouth open, just like, I can't believe I'm sitting with Patrick on PNS explosion. This is the coolest thing ever. No, seriously, Rodin, Rodin, this is what happens, okay. You be Patrick, and I'll be Taylor, say anything. Order something off the menu. - Can I have a steak, medium well? (laughing) - Okay, it was not that bad. - Oh, I believe it was. - When I made that laugh, I threw my hands up, and then I sat, you know, with my hands tucked under my chin while I gazed at him fondly. (laughing) - He has really pretty eyes. - He has really pretty eyes. - That's pretty close to doing with Eric, the southern boy too, so. - Yeah, no, I talked more to Eric the southern boy, but I've hung out with Eric the southern boy before, when he, Eric the southern boy, that sounds like you're saying a whole, that's a whole mouthful. Eric the southern boy is a mouthful, leave it at that. No, I don't mean to leave it at that, that sounds horrible. That sounds like I've blown him, and I haven't. Not that I wouldn't. (laughing) - Not yet. - So, so there, no, it was, he was just, he was very nice, and he's very smart, and he's very witty, and he's just like they are on the show, where they're very quick, and they're very clever, and I felt like I couldn't keep up. So eventually, I'm like, I'm just gonna sit quietly, listen, as he talks to Taffy about public education, and just kind of sat there the whole time, just like, this is the coolest thing. - Well, I know that you like to watch. - Well, yes, that's exactly it. (laughing) - I'll keep up to watch him. I can't imagine you not being able to keep up with anybody. Okay, keeping up with Patrick and Taffy. That's a tall order, but I did occasionally, but it was nice. It was a very nice afternoon. - Yeah, that's a really good time. - And I went and saw Kevin and Michael in the reindeer monologues. Michael directed a play in Orlando about Santa raping reindeer, and Kevin was in it, and it was really good. (laughing) First, we have the Beast sodomizing Belle. Now we have Santa raping reindeer. Happy New Year. - Yeah, happy New Year, everybody. We're coming back with a vengeance, apparently, in 2010. (laughing) - We also have another Kevin and Michael story. (upbeat music) ♪ Love ♪ ♪ Exciting and new ♪ ♪ Come aboard ♪ ♪ We're expecting you and love ♪ - At this time, in three weeks this time, Taffy and I will be on a Disney Cruise. - Really? - Yes. - Yes, we are going on a Disney Cruise and our percer and bartender for the weekend will be Kevin and Michael. - Really? - Yeah. - How the hell do you guys match that? - It just is one of those situations where a deal fell in our laps, and by our laps, I mean Kevin and Michael's laps, and by a deal, I mean my head, and we ended up going on a Disney Cruise with them. - Yes. - Sweet. - Yeah, so we're very much looking forward to it. It's gonna be a lot of fun. This is my first cruising experience. Well, this is my first experience on a cruise. Let me rephrase that. - Thank you. - And I'm very excited. Taffy has given me all the details as to what I need to bring and what I don't need to bring and all that sort of stuff. So I'm sure there will be video taken. I'm sure that there will be all sorts of stuff. The one thing that I am definitely doing is apparently Kevin and I are going parasailing. - Really? (laughing) - Yes. - I like the three second pregnant pause there. - Yes, thank you for that, thank you very much. Of course now, in my mind, it's great to be a situation where my toes are skimming across the water the whole time. - When he's 1,200 feet in the air, I can't wait. - Yeah. - Because you need to understand that, you know that horrible movie, the Lorenzo Lamas, Debbie Gibson thing, where the shark jumps out the plane? I know at some point he's gonna visualize this happening to him, while he's hanging out there, with the parachute, he's going to be waiting for a shark to jump out of the water. - Well, I wasn't until now. (laughing) - Well, I will tell you that Tank and I went parasailing when we were in Jamaica. The water was so clear, you can see sharks under the water. It was very cool. - Okay, you keep talking about that. Stop talking about that. - Sharks, sharks, sharks, sharks. - Okay, would you rather me not saying anything than all of a sudden you're up there and you're like, what the fuck is that? - That's huge. - You don't have to tell me once, you don't have to keep reiterating the fact that there's gonna be sharks there, but I'm-- - Yeah, I agree. I don't think I would want other sharks there. - You can also see Mickey Mouse as the mass head on the sunken ship. Focus on that. - Okay, I will focus on that. - See? - And I'm sure I will be, there will be some sort of video I'm sure of me flailing and screaming a thousand feet in the air. So, if nothing else, listeners, that's for nothing for you to look forward to seeing. (laughing) God. - I'm back dude. - Are you back to the black cherry? - Right, Jerry. (laughing) - Wasn't that a song? - Back to the black cherry, I don't think so. - No, black cherry. - I'm sure there's a song. - Oh, that's not velvet. No, I'm thinking of that black velvet-- - Black velvet. - And a little boy smile. Well, the next line is a little boy smile. - Black cherry. - Black cherry. - I don't think that's what Alana Miles had in mind when she wrote that song. (laughing) Now we have to end the song. Now we have to end the episode with black velvet. Thank you very much for that. Actually, wait a minute, no, no. We don't have to end with this. Pat? - Did you know that if the first time someone takes it up the butt that they've given up their black cherry? Did you ever heard that expression? (laughing) - Of course he has. He's taken many of black cherry. I mean, just yours. - I just, no, I wondered why he has a leather belt that has cherries all around the back of it with little black lines through it. Now I know, excellent. (laughing) - Your husband has a belt with cherries on it? - No. - Instead of notches. - Oh, it's a whip. - Oh, okay. - It's a whip. - Oh, sorry, I didn't think that through. - All right, huh? - I thought you were gonna get stuck on the St. Andrews cross. I didn't think black cherry would have a second to it. - I know, right? - The St. Andrews cross thing I think is fascinating. - She's gonna research it. She's gonna find out. - Oh, you better believe that. As soon as I'm allowed to go online, as soon as this is over and I'm looking for a picture, St. Andrews cross will be the second thing that comes up. And it's gonna be some, you know, leather daddy in like hog-tied and gagged, God willing, and that's, it's gonna be a Luke Miller. (laughing) - And you're gonna tie him. (laughing) - I just came. (laughing) - Why would you have to say something like that to Taylor? - Luke Miller on a St. Andrews cross. That's something, video podcast. (laughing) - Make it happen, Luke. Make it happen. - We've extended two challenges now to two listeners, Pat and Luke, make it happen. The first person that said this is a picture of Luke Miller in a St. Andrews cross, wins a T-shirt. (laughing) It'll just be, (laughing) - Right at it's gonna be just a simple T-shirt. - With a T-shirt. - From Target and out of anything on it, but you'll still win a T-shirt. (laughing) - So what else do we wanna talk about tonight kids? What else is there to talk about? - Oh, I did learn this week that apparently when you're so stressed that you become distressed, that apparently not only do you take up bad habits like eating too much and not exercising enough, but apparently your brain shrinks because the chemicals in your brain, all right, the more adrenaline that you are, yeah, the more adrenaline, fight or flight type things that you go through when you're stressed, the less your brain is able to recover from that. And so apparently the more and the longer your stress, the smaller your brain gets. So I've been in that distressed state for quite some time now. So not only am I stressed about the things I was stressed about work, being alone here in Monroe, and now I'm stressed about my brain shrinking and being stressed. - Well, isn't that, don't they say that that's one of the contributing factors to post-traumatic stress disorder? Is that their brain actually shrinks, the part of the brain that actually shrinks is the part that is what helps handle that. - Yes. - Yes, okay, I was gonna say, 'cause I'm thinking that that's actually really what helps to-- - To like prefrontal cortex or whatever, what helps you adapt, yeah. - That helps you adapt and confront those issues and be able to work through them. That's the part of the brain that does shrink when your adrenaline is kicked in over and over again. So that's very real. - So you're saying you're like some big brontosaurus lumbering through Monroe right now? - Pretty much, pretty much. That's my fear is that I'm gonna be 40 years old and drooling out of the left side of my mouth. - Oh, wow, comedy podcasters. - What is? - The other thing we learned is that not only am I getting stupider and not going to the gym as much as I should, but that what is, I think you said 7% of men my age who are distressed already have a dependency on sex, alcohol or drugs. - Oh, oh. - I wonder where my dependency is. - I was gonna say, I was doing one of them. - How's that Jack and Coke? - Did you drink it tonight while we're saving the show? - It's Picardian died and the amount of sex I've had in the last week and a half is not to be discussed now. - Not to be discussed because we don't have enough time or not to be discussed because-- - He doesn't have enough names. - Oh, we don't have enough time. I can't think of nicknames at this point. - Oh, Jesus, I'm only-- - I don't think we're in single digits anymore, Toto. - Single digits. - Oh, try triple digits. - I haven't been in single digits since I was like eight. - No, I mean for this week. - Oh, for this week, yeah, we're thinking, Jesus. - We are or we're not. - What? - We are or we're not in single digits. - Oh, I'm in single digits. - Oh, I was gonna say, Jesus, I was gonna say, yeah. - Get thee to a health department. My God. - Thank you. - Oh, I did, oh, and that's, on my vacation 'cause I was off for three weeks or two weeks, I did, you know, catch up on various things, and I got, you know, I got testing six months since my last test, which was great, except for I went for the full, whole exam, which apparently now, I thought they were past this, and there was other ways of testing for this, but they stuck the little hue tip up my pee pee. That hurts. - Ow! - Ow! - Yeah. - I don't even have a pee pee in them. - And it was like my grandmother. It was like, the woman was like my grandmother, and then she wanted me to bend over so that way she could look at my asshole. - Oh, geez. - To see it, to see it. - Really, that's just how we're ending the show. We've had a really good show, and now we're talking about your rectal exams. It was one of those moments where I'm like, why am I doing this? They say everything was fine, but it was one of those where it was like, really fine. - Well, would you rather have a grandmom doing it? Would you rather have some big, hot, like, you know, muscle daddy coming in and doing that shit to you? - I, and I guess it was better that it was, it was better that it was grandmom, but still, it was just one of those where I was like, oh. - Is she one of your list? Does that count as one of your list for the week? - No, she doesn't count. - Or does she bring you over to double digits? - Anyone who's seen Rodan's ass gets included on the list. (laughing) - God. - The list is top in 23. - Oh. - When I was sick a couple of weeks ago, I got, had to get a shot in antibiotic, and they had to give me the shot in the butt, and that's the first time I think I've ever actually had that where they had to give me a shot in the butt. - Well, here, anytime you're sick, you get like the adrenaline or the steroid shot in the ass. Currently, you have the sniffles, that's all they do. They don't look at you, they just pop it in your ass and you're gone. - Well, what about the shot? (laughing) - But I'm pumped. - Yeah, thanks. - No, I refuse to take any kind of shot in the butt. I want it in the arm, or anywhere. I refuse to take it there. I don't care what they say. - Why? - Well, I will tell you why, because I react very odd to medicine, and I am a horribly, horribly notoriously bad prick, which sounds really dirty, but I have a horrible little tiny veins, and whenever they have to give me a shot in the butt, it always ends up feeling like I have a walnut stuck in my butt, because the medicine never dissolves, and they always do the whole thing. - Oh, yeah. - Rub it, rub it, rub it, and it always, so when you sit down for the next four days, it kills you. I'd better take it in my arm or someplace else. I just, when I had my foot surgery, they wanted to give me a shot in the ass, and I said, "No, I don't think so." And she's like, "Well, you know, "this is a really intense amount of, "I'm not taking it. "If you wanna give me the shot, "it's gonna be this way or no way." - So where did you take it in the arm? - Yeah, and when they give it to you in your arm, you feel like your arm is gonna be paralyzed, because it's so much medicine, but you know what? It's better. I don't care what they say. It's better any day of the week than your ass. I know there's certain medical issues. - See, I don't have any issues with shots of my ass. I didn't get a hepatitis booster for a half day, but shut up. I didn't get a hepatitis booster in my arm, which hurt for like three days. - Yeah, I was gonna say, they usually will hurt you pretty good. I don't get any of those things, though. I, that's another show entirely, but I'm anti, most of those kind of shots. I don't get them, and I know our listeners can write in and yell at me and tell me I'm a horrible mom, but I don't get a lot of the weird vaccinations for my daughters either. That's not, I just know. - Well, and that's, that's perfectly acceptable. You know, it's, you know, certainly it's one of those things that's a big debate these days. I'd say what, along those lines, this week, you know, or last week or whenever, I was talking to my friends about getting, you know, the whole process of getting tested and you think it'd be even a little bit simpler than, why do they have to ask you the, you know, all the questions and shit? But, there is a slew of my friends who are here in Louisiana who have never been tested. Ever. - That's scary. - That's scary. - I know. - It was one of those things where I'm like, you gotta be shitting me. - Hank and I have been married for 20, almost 20 years, we both have been tested numerous times. So that's crazy, that's stupid. - Yeah, which was the speech I gave them because, unfortunately, on the flip side, more and more of my friends or, you know, people I know have tested positive. So it's one of those like, come on, guys, this is a small area. You know, you've been fucking around with the same people, so. - Yeah, that's true. - That's crazy. - Having worked in the HIV field when I first got out of undergrad for years, the idea that just scares the shit out of me. And the fact that it seems to be on the rise again. - Yeah, well, check out the, on QuickTime, the movie trailer for "By the Numbers" or whatever. - Bob Blue wants to see that. He came in last night and said he watched the trailer and was like, we have to go see this movie and I was kind of like, well, that's okay. - That'll get you fired up a movie about HIV deniers. - Oh, yeah, no, I can't see something like that. That would happen to me. - Is it a documentary? - Yeah. - It's a documentary, documentary about essentially, apparently my speech is slurred now that I've had so much Picardian diet. 'Cause I forgot. - The whole channel. - That apparently that HIV is not really a disease in its own right, it's a group of diseases and have nothing to do with AIDS. AIDS is real, HIV is not, is what they're saying. And that essentially they just needed some way, shape or form to calm the public down is kind of the, one of the things in the preview or one of the statements they made. - Okay. - Who was they? - But stuff like that anymore. - Who's they? - That, you know, the pharmaceutical community or the researchers who were doing research on the back of the days when it's still called grids. So it's, it's, watch the preview. Watch the preview and you'll kind of get in that understanding of whether or not you want to go for it. - Okay. So. - Well, if it's any kind of a documentary, Bob will look and see it with me, Taylor, so just tell him. - Okay. - Have you guys watched Food Inc. yet? - No, not yet. - What? - Oh, Food Inc. or, oh, I want to see that, but I'm kind of freaked out. - So good. - No, it's really good. - No, it's on, it's on our list of things to watch. We just haven't watched it yet. We have a, we've had a bunch of stuff going on, obviously, 'cause we've talked about a lot of it. We've had a lot of stuff going on over the last couple of weeks and which is, you know, just an indicator of things to come over the next, over the next few months for everybody here at Pot As My Copilot. I don't know what I'm saying. But, I bought tickets to Wicked. - You bought tickets to Wicked? - Oh, you did. - In New Orleans, so it means I'm going to New Orleans for the first time ever. - When? - Winner, when? - April 7th. I do not have a date for Wicked yet, but I bought, like, $150 ticket, but whatever. - You've never seen Wicked before? - No, I saw Wicked when it was in Fort Lauderdale. - Yeah, say it's incredible. - It's one of the first shows that's showing back at Wilens 'cause they hadn't had any traveling Broadway shows there and I think since Katrina. - Since Katrina? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Okay. - Well, that's exciting. I mean, it's a hell of a show. Hello? - Hello. - I'm sorry. - You were? - Well, okay, 'cause I'm trying to get away. We're talking happy, happy stuff that he's brought up. HIV deniers and Hurricane Katrina in the last five minutes of the show, I'm trying to figure out a way to spin this around. - Oh. (laughs) - Sorry to do this. - Not on that note. - It's the world according to Rodan. - Right, on the evil laugh note, that's, well, we'll finish here. So, well, let's wrap it up, shall we? - Yeah, we're at 54 minutes. - Yeah, yeah. So, okay, well, as always, thank you very much for listening to episode 128 of our show. As always, you can go to our blog, which is potismycopilot.com. You can email us at potismycopilot@gmail.com. We'll be our friends on Facebook at okay, so I love potismycopilot, and you can also subscribe to our fan page at potismycopilot.com. - Oh! - And I did-- - Oh, ah! - I want to say hi to a fan. I want to say hi to a fan. - Okay. - Hi, Maddie. - Hi, Maddie. - Thanks for listening. - Oh, yeah, hi, Maddie. - That's off. - Oh, you checked out my man on the page. (laughs) Okay, or we could say that he wrote us a really nice heartfelt letter. (laughs) - Yes, he did, it was very sweet. - Yes, he did. - It was very sweet. - And he has a website, oh crap, I don't have my Safari up, it's, oh, hold on. - I have nothing up, I'm sorry. - I know, I know, hold on, I can come up. - Except for Tank. (groans) - queerfocus.com. - Queer focus? - Focused. - Queer focused, queerfocus.com. So please, if you are gay or gay-friendly, and you're interested in a really good website, please go to queerfocus.com and check it out. He listens to you all of our shows over the course of the last couple of days. - Oh, yeah. - So if nothing else, you should all go to this website just because of that great sacrifice he did. - No, no, yes. - Because I've tried driving on trips and stuff, listening, and I can't get through about three episodes of us before I'm like, oh my God, I'm sick of hearing our voices. So I can imagine listening to us over three or four days. - How can you say that? - I say it with love. (laughs) - You and I can sit and talk for 12 hours straight, and on the way home, we will call each other. And you couldn't listen to our voices for that long. I deny that. I refuse to believe that. - It's gotta be my voice, then, anybody else's, so. - Oh, well, that is true. - It's too nice to argue. - All right, go ahead. - All right, go ahead. - That's the catalyst, that's it. That's the missing piece I look at. - Did you just say he gets too hard listening to your voice? - Yeah. - Well played, right in, well played. (laughing) And then it hits the windshield and I can't drive, and it's on the inside, and I am swerving upside the road. - Oh my. (laughing) - All right, Taffy's voice is getting all creepy, so we're gonna go. Thank you everybody for listening, this is Taylor. - And Taffy. - And Rodan. - Have a good week, everybody, bye bye. - Bye. - Bye. - Fleck cherry!
