You're listening to Pot As My Copilot with Taylor the Latte Boy, Taffy Carlisle Huffington, A.K.A. Captain Cubby and you're listening to Pot As My Copilot. I'm joined as always by Taffy Carlisle Huffington, A.K.A. Madam Comes a lot. And Rodan, also known as Giraffe Boy. Oh, you guys get cool ones and I get like Giraffe Boy? Well, Taffy just said, "Madam Comes a Lot to Me" on the Instant Messenger. So I had to come up with something quick for me and what do you want to be? I don't know. I can guarantee you I don't want to be known as Madam Come. Then you shouldn't have said it to me in the Instant Message. Probably not. What was the Instant Message? Call Me, Madam Comes a Lot? No, actually that was not. I believe that it was where she wrote Evening Horror to which my response was, "Well, it's nice to know that you came up with your own superhero name." And she said, "No, if I had my own superhero name it would be Madam Comes a Lot." Yeah, that might be true actually. Yeah, that might be true. And I have the documentation to prove it. I decided today I'm shaped more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex than a giraffe. You hold tiny arms. Okay. He's a T Rex, which means what dinosaur would you be? Like a triceratops? Who me? Yeah. I'm trying to think of what dinosaur you would be. I would be a... You and I would be raptors because if one of us doesn't get someone, the other one does. We set them up and then the other one knocks them down. That's right, baby. Yeah. Mess with the bull, you get the horns. Did your dad ever used to say that saying, "You mess with the bull, you get the horns." No, he would just backfist me and send me flying. It sounds like a very Italian-American thing to say. It does kind of, doesn't it? Did you ever see the movie, "Some Kind of Wonderful"? I've seen bits and pieces of it. She says that in the movie. And I always thought it sounded like, you know, "All Italian and Cool," which I was neither. Well, that's what... What's his name says in the breakfast club? That's what the boy gets the horns. You mess with the bull, you're going to get the horns. And he does the thing with his finger where he puts the two fingers like the horns. Yeah. I'll be knocking heads. Yeah. The reason I came up with superhero names for all of us is because did we all watch, just finish watching it? No, we didn't. I did. You didn't watch the heroes? Nope. Damn it. I did watch the heroes. Okay, without doing any spoilers. Oh, you can do it. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about. I mean, it's not going to ruin it for me. Okay. Well, what did you think? I was like, "Well, you're asking it happy." I thought it was happy. You didn't watch it. I know. I totally paused thinking you were asking Taffy. I liked it. I'm a little confused, but I'm okay with being confused. Okay. Yeah. You sound about the same level that I am of where I was really excited that it was back. And I was watching it, but I was also kind of like, it seems like they're already introducing way too many plot points. And I'd rather they maybe didn't do as many. But you know what? Yeah. I wanted to see more of the characters. Like I didn't see, you know, Nikki and her husband and the annoying kid. I don't know. Yeah, they're my least favorite characters. Well, but I still, there's some comfort in knowing that they're, I don't know. I was just kind of like, okay, now, who were these Spanish people and why are they running through the jungle? And why are Spanish subtitles in yellow and Chinese, or Japanese subtitles in white? Are you saying they should be reversed? I had a Scott King. Why be racist? Why be racist? No, I was just curious why subtitles had to have colors. I mean, if they did the Irish ones have a different color? They were green. There were no subtitles for the Irish. They were speaking English. I know that as soon as like they were speaking American. Okay. American. They were speaking American with bad Irish accents. Well, maybe they're going to do something where the Spanish people meet the Asian people. And then this way it's sort of is like where you can see where there's different things going on. Maybe where they're having different conversations. And I totally like the samurai guy. He's very cute. The British samurai guy in 1671. Yeah. Yeah. I've already decided I don't like that storyline. Because you know, it's going to be where he's going to get all the credit for all the things that hero did back in 1671. Well, of course. So he's the one that's going to be his own hero. Or the museums are named after. Right. Or, or, or, or, or he'll convince David Anders, who's the guy who's playing the samurai guy, to be the hero. I mean, he'll. How do you know the name of the guy who's playing the samurai guy? Because he was an alias and he's really cute. Because he just Googled him. No, he's in my bed right now. He'd like to Google him. Well, he's sitting next to me right now naked. Blowing me to us. I was going to say, why are you talking to us then? He's not as good as he looks. Geez. All right. Well, how is everybody doing? I think that pretty much sums it up. No, I'm doing fabulous, except literally two minutes before I logged on to do the podcast, I was running through the house going, I have two minutes, two minutes. Everyone getting bad. Yeah, but that's, that's pretty much typical for around here sometimes. I think every once in a while when when Taylor's over here, he kind of forgets how loud this house can be at some point. Oh, no, I know how loud that house can be. We're usually pretty quiet when he's here, quite frankly, compared to what we are when we're in in full-on Huffington household mode. It's Huffington's only. It's Huffington's only. It's Huffington's bitch. God. Yeah, I am feeling very antsy. Me too. Thank you. I am so glad you said, is it a full moon tonight? It is a full moon. That's exactly why. And I have been all day where I wanted to go to, well, actually I need to back up and I know that we actually recorded two mini podcasts. I've recorded one with Taffy and one with Rodeon. Yes. Well, we all sucked. Yeah, we did. It's not, not just you guys. We all sucked. So I, so I have to sort of retell the story of the bug bite to explain my, explain why I'm antsy today. Oh, again, I two weeks ago, what? I said again, you explained it on my version. You explained it on Taffy's version. You explained it to both, which didn't go out to the masses. Anyway, two weeks ago, I went out in my backyard and actually did some yard work. And apparently I was bitten by something. It was some sort of spider, I guess, or some sort of bug and ended up getting where I had a huge swelling on my leg. Oh, yes. And how does Taffy know it was postural because she was the one who lanced it, which we'll get to in a second. Oh, oh, that's a true friend. Let me tell you. Yeah. Yeah, inflicting pain on me. That's a true friend. Anyway, she, I went, it wasn't getting any better after she lanced it. So I went to the doctor, I'm currently on antibiotics. And for some reason today, I got a wild hair up my ass that I wanted to go work out. Oh, I'm like, today's the day, and I'm going to start going back to the gym. And I went and I filled up my little iPod with all sorts of new dance songs to work out to. And I was all excited. And I thought, you know what, it's still red. It doesn't hurt anymore. And there's not as much heat coming off of it. So I called my doctor and said, I'm thinking about going to work out. And she said, well, you can do upper body, but no cardio. Well, I don't need to do upper body. I need to do cardio to get rid of my fat ass. So she said, and I said, well, I don't understand why I can't if it's not by the means. She said, because it could fill with fluid. Oh God. Did you go on your own little path? No, I've listened to her. But now I'm in that where I'm, you know, I've been walking in circles through the house. And I've, you know, every time I wash a dish, I clean it right away. Or every time I eat off a dish, I clean it right away. And I've, you know, organized things. And I've played Animal Crossing 19 times. And I, you know, caught up on just about all of my TV show. But did you clean your back bathroom? Yes, that is finally clean. I'm so proud. Okay. But wait a minute, I'll second, I'll second. Now you're the one who kept telling me forever and ever and ever that you should just go and do the muscle workout anyways, because you need, because the muscle workout is a form of card, you know, upper body cardio. And I mean, it's not like your double D's are going to become all muscular. Your double D's. Okay. Let me address that in a couple other ways. One, I do not have double D's. Mr. Sorry. Okay, you didn't have to. I'm just picturing the look of shock and horror on Taylor's face, because I had almost the same thing. I thought double D's I don't get that. And I went, I understand what he meant. That wasn't very cool. And he's going to kick your ass. First he's going to have to work out. He's going to kick your ass, but then he's going to. Sorry. Go ahead. Sorry. I'm the only double D girl on this broadcast. You just pushed your breasts together. Didn't you tappy? I can just see it now. We're like on the radio and you're like pushing your breasts together. I am touching myself, actually. Well, never mind. All right. So go ahead, double D's. And I've lost complete control. Like he ever had it. First of all, Mr. Big so for dollar nipples, I do not have double D's. Um, yeah. No, I'm not a part of this. No way. This song in here is like. I do not. I do not. I am large. I'm not as large as I was a couple of weeks ago is as I posted, I've lost like 25 pounds and I don't think you have man boobs at all. That is not a characteristic. I if I was going to like describe you to someone, I would not, I would not use the phrase man boobs at all for you. Oh my God. Are we really going to talk about my man boobs in this episode or in your lack of man boobs? Go ahead. Okay. As I lose weight, what little A cups I have will diminish and I will have pecs. I have pecs now, but they're just trapped under 16 layers of chub. Well, but after the body of a white girl, you're Julie Brown. So there's this great line. Okay, him, he's like a thousand miles away. I can't get to him. You live about 15 minutes from my house. I live in danger. Yes. Go ahead. We're listening with baited bro. That's all. That's all. I don't have man boobs and I certainly don't have double D's. Well, if we're going to talk about working out, I'm going to tell you what I did today. What did you do? I did something that actually kind of surprised myself and unfortunately, I've never been, you know, one to lack in the, what's what I'm looking for, confidence area. But I actually kind of surprised myself today. I was today's personal service today, which is on Monday. I have to work for the widow Carlyle and nine times out of 10, I want to kill myself. I've invited Taylor to join me at, you know, if he wants to have his toe on the trigger. But anyways, so today, of course, I'm held captive and I'm in one of her condos sitting from 930 until 1245. There is no television because we're waiting for an entertainment center to be brought. I can do nothing but listen to her talk on her cell phone, watch her husband sleep in a recliner or stand and look outside at the bridge while the dolphin encounter comes to show tourist dolphins. So you can imagine by hour two, I was ready to kill myself. So fine. I finally said, I'm, I have to leave this, I have to leave this condo. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do something. So it's on the 12th floor. I got into the elevator. I rode down to the lobby and I walked back up. Wow. Very well. 12 floors. 168 stairs. You counted them as you walked? That's because that's who I am. I can't help that. But there was- What else was she going to do? She needed something. Thank you. That's one of those things. Okay. And the reason why she counted them is because she was working out her body, but she also needed to work her brain at the same time. There you go. So if she didn't start counting them, I bet she went up a flight, then went back down and realized I need to count how many there are and then started and started counting them again. No, no, I actually, I actually started. But there you go. Good for you. That's sort of like what they did on the biggest loser. How many flights did they go up with? They had to hit the lights on the last episode. I think it was only five or six, but I really don't know. I mean to be quite honest with you, but I will tell you that 12 and I didn't stop and rest, but 12 flights did absolutely. By the time I got to the top, I was and what was bad as I had on heels. Oh god. Well, that's actually not good for you then. Well, it wasn't really heels. It was more like, you know, my little like wedge heels, but they certainly weren't flats. They weren't too many shoes or anything. And so by the time I got to the top, yeah, the balls of my feet were killing me, but I was, I was pleasantly pleased with myself the fact I had done it. So that's, that's my only workout news for the day. Oh, hey, that's something. Yeah. So Rodeon, any workout news? I did not work out today. Sex at the gym, anything like that? No, sex at the gym. I didn't work out yesterday though. I did an hour of cardio Sunday on the Lord's Day. Yes. I was just like on God's day. So it was me and the other heathens at the gym. God wants us to be fit. That does. Which is why he created brownies. And on the seventh day, God created brownies. Oh. Um, I have a question for everybody. How, how high was that like a, your falsetto? Sorry. Yeah, I have a question for everybody. I have a question for everybody. Yes. When is a date, not a date? When they don't show up. When you pet them. When you what? At them. To me, a date is, wait, wait, wait, wait. In which connotation are we talking? Okay, let me, I have, okay. Never mind. No, no, you want to ask questions before I tell the story. So go ahead and ask me my questions. You just ask us for an opinion of something. I'm just getting background. Okay. All right. Damn ass. Damn ass. I was going to say dumb ass. No, the question is, is, are you asking this in the respect of, you know, I met somebody at a coffee shop and we walked around the lake and it was such a nice day, but do I really consider that a date or do you consider it? Uh, I was supposed to have a date with someone, but they call and blew me off. So is that considered a date? That's why I'm asking, which one? Well, nobody blew, nobody blew me off. I can't speak tonight. Yeah. Um, okay. Let me ask you this. If you meet someone, if you start talking to somebody online and then meet them out for coffee, spend over three hours together in which it is said to you that you have a nice smile. Yes, you're cute and you're hot. Yes, that's a date. And then you actually have head rubbing out in there. And by head, I mean, top of top of the body. Yeah, that's a date. Okay. Yeah, I would consider that a date as well. Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah. Apparently, apparently, we're just friends. We're just bros. Hey, bros for hosts. Man, this guy that I was talking to again by talking to, meaning I went to Starbucks and hung out for like three hours and then towards the end of the night, you know, it was, Starbucks was getting ready to close. And he was like, well, you know, we had been talking about music. And I said, you know, well, I guess we should get going. And he goes, yeah, you should go home and get some rest. And I went, oh, okay. And then he said, I'm saying that so that, you know, there's no guilt on my part. Why would there be guilt on his part? Right. So that's what I thought. So I'm like, okay, is it that you want me to go home? And he said, no. And I said, do you want me to go back to your place? Is that what you're saying? And he said, no. And I said, then I'm confused. He goes, well, I was telling you about this band. I have them on my iPod out in my truck. Let's go out to my truck. Okay. So that definitely sounds like someone who's been going out there and doing like, you know, where we're listening to music. And then there's kind of a little bit of touchy feely. And then when I lean in for the kick. Did you get him a handy in the parking lot? Yes. Yes. That's exactly where I'm going with this. Yes. And Pinellas Park. I'm, you know, well, that sounds like I said, I go for Pinellas Park. Yeah. As I go to lean in for the kiss, it's very, what are you doing? No, no, we're just, we're just friends. Yeah. That's the same as, you know, he's the quarterback on the football team in college who, you know, brags to all of his friends about, you know, shove in this shove on my dick in this chick's mouth. And then he calls you, you know, at two o'clock in the morning and goes, hi, I feel lonely. So there you go. Is he openly out? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This whole story just sounds a little weird. But again, and then once to get together the next night and comes over to the house and pretty much we go through the exact same thing. Where he's all like, you know, laying on me and, you know, touching, touchy feely and all that sort of stuff. And then, you know, giving out these signals and then all of a sudden it's just like, no, no, we're just friends. What is up with you? Bye. Yeah. Exactly. What is up with you dating all these social retards? I don't know. I don't know. It seems to be an ongoing theme. I mean, are you just doing this for stories for the podcast or? Yeah, she's humiliating himself just for us. Yes. I put on my post on manhunt.com really looking for somebody to blow air into my ass. You know, and because it'll make a great story down the line looking for some young pup to rub. Oh, that reminds me of something real quickly. I think my, I think my husband, I don't think, I hope God, please don't send letters and listeners. Just listen to this. There's a guy who owns a restaurant that's not far from our house and he's kind of an ass. Okay. Hold on a second. Can you hold on just a second? Sure. I'm sorry. Did you just beat a dog? No. Otis is all upset because Rocco's hiding under the coffee table and Otis can't grab him by his dick and drag him around the living room. I hate it when it happens. So he's all crying and whining and everything. So are they being a little neurotic since the third, since her, she left? No, because it's a full moon. It's one of, well, it's because it's a full moon and we already went for a walk and everybody did what they needed to do. And then in the middle of heroes, Otis barked and at the door, at the back door so that I could let him out so he could go out and eat poop. That's all he wanted to do. And then he came in and now he's crying again because he wants to go outside and because I won't let him outside again, he's dragging, he's dragging Rocco around by his dick. People are going to think I live in the most fucked up house. They'd be right. So I'm sorry. So you had... I interrupted your story to tell my story. So you're fine. It's just something that I reminded of is anyways, there's a restaurant in our county that's called The Golden Bear. And I guess the guy that owns it is a real jerk. And so his waitress was in Tank's store the other day and she was complaining about him and he goes... I guess he's a very much an Archie Bunker type. And there had been customers that were a gay and apparently he wasn't overly nice to them. And Tank being, you know, the perfect man. It says to her, well, you know, it's a good thing that, you know, my wife and her friends weren't there because she would have tolerated that for about one second. And he's like, frankly, you know, those kind of people make me sick. And she's like, I know. She's like, you know, jobs are hard to find. What are you going to do? And he goes, next time he has anything like an ass, just go up to him and say, sir, do you realize you named your restaurant The Golden Bear, which is basically a gay term for a big giant man with lots of blonde hair all over his chest? And then I said, well, that's pretty good. I said, I had no idea. He goes, yeah, I don't know if that's true or not, because I just totally made up. And then I started thinking, is there a golden bear? Is that what it's really called? I know there's a polar bear. That's gray hair. Actually, a golden bear sounds like... A golden shower. I mean, a bear that likes to pee. It sounds like a bear getting peed on. It's the Mountain Woman story. She's a golden bear. We haven't told that story yet. Oh, sorry. That'll be another podcast. Well, this is its teaser. Another time. Which actually reminds me, drum Riley Calhoun was over last night, and he would like to be a guest host on the podcast. And he did win the poll for, you know, which character would you like to hear again? So we'll need to have him on some time. Yes, I heard you invited him for dinner. I did. Yes, I did buy him over dinner. I made the chicken bog, which he always made when it was rainy and dreary over the weekends. And I decided I wanted to make something. And I knew that it was relatively easy, even though I fucked it up. Well, I forgot to buy an onion. So then I had to go back to Publix and get an onion. And I had to get Laury's season salt. And then realized as I was putting all the final things together, I looked over and saw the edge of the season salt container hanging out of the Publix bag on the counter. So I had never actually put the season salt in. Nice. Yeah, but you know, he said that was no big deal. And he added some to his meal. And then I had to send a mine and it tasted pretty good. It's chicken bog is one of those things. And the recipes on our, on our blog, the bog recipes on our blog, it's one of those things that actually tastes better after it's at time to sit for a while. When we met Paula Deen, did drum not go up to her and whispering her ear, thank you for chicken blog. I believe he did. I thought I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah, it's really, it's just chicken and rice, but it's chicken and rice that's kind of spicy and it's got, it's got smoked sausage in it. And we all love a little smoked sausage now. And then, and hello. And it's got, you know, red pepper and black pepper and season salt and then her house seasoning. And it's just, it's yummy, yummy, yummy. And it's one of those things that on a rainy day, especially for those of you now that the season's changing and it's cold. We hate to, but that's fine. It's just, it's one of those things that you can make it. It probably costs about $10 to make. You can literally, two people can eat off of it for about four days, lunch and dinner. Can you slow cook it like in a, like a crop pie? No, no, you just, you make, you boil a chicken with all the different, you know, spices and, and the onion and the sausage. And it's almost like a low boil sort of thing for about 40 minutes. Yes, I know that you cut up a whole chicken. I'm very proud. Yes. And then, and then after you take the quarter, check, yeah, well, it looked like an autopsy by the time it got in the pot. Oh, and so then you take all the chicken out and you let the chicken cool for a minute while everything else is still cooking and you take all of the chicken off of the bones, which took me probably about 15 minutes to get all the chicken off this, all the meat off this four pound chicken. Okay. And then what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to put the rice in and then let the rice cook and then put the chicken back in, but I put the chicken and the rice in at the same time back in it. So of course, I'm calling, you know, drum right before it comes over like, this is what I did. Did I screw it up? And he's like, no, it'll be fine. I just might need to sit, it might need to cook for a little bit longer just to get all of the, for all the rice to, rice to absorb all the water. You were getting ready to ask me something and I cut you off. No, no, I was going to say, you know, that if you go to like Publix when they had the roasted chickens, they will rip all the skin and take all the meat off the bone for you. Well, and that was my original plan was just to get one of those chickens. And I was going to have to wait about a half an hour. And I was, it was one of those where I just wanted to get what I needed and go home. But of course, by the time I got home, realized I didn't have anything that I needed to do in the back, it was after half an hour. So, but I just, but you know what, I cooked it, I cooked a whole chicken by myself and I quartered it and I peeled all that. So I'm looking at that as a, you know, I'm not very culinary. Most of the things that I've been eating have either involved me slapping peanut butter on a piece of bread or defrosting something and sticking into the microwave. Um, cereal. Hello. Or yeah, eating coke of Christmas, which I had while I was watching Heroes tonight, it was fabulous. Well, I think the point of getting a chicken with the bones is so that the bones can help flavor the bog. Well, yeah, the mare on the bones does. Yeah. So, but I had it tonight and oh God, it was so good. Now, do you put, do you have it like with a biscuit? Yes. Well, now that was one of those things that drum was always famous for the other thing that came on this Paula Dean episode, which was Uncle Bubba's beer biscuits. And I just bought a thing of Pillsbury, you know, the can explodes and you take all the biscuits out and put, I just made one of those and just heated them up tonight with a little bit of melted butter on them and that was yummy too. Am I cherry coke zero? Am I cherry coke zero? Yeah, I'm not all about that. I just not all about the coke zero. It makes me a little, uh, I don't know. Well, when I have regular cherry coke now, it sends it to where my eyes spin up in the back of my head because I got the diabetes. So I can't have regular cherry coke anymore. That doesn't occasionally stop me from having it, but I really shouldn't. He can have an M&M Blizzard, but he can't have a cherry coke. Yeah, I think he's not supposed to have the M&M Blizzard either. I think you're probably right. And thank you for throwing me under the bus. No, I'm not throwing under the bus. I'm strictly pointing out fact. I'm sure you're not supposed to have that either. And if it's the last time you had one, it did affect you and you know that. Give you a little tiny headache and put you to sleep. And who's the one that usually says, do you want to stop at Dairy Queen? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I'm not denying that a bit. I am an enabler. And just along I have that on record, that's absolutely. You can play me for all your troubles. Nobody knows the troubles you've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow. Yes, double D's. We all know it out. Yeah, I think I love O'Dane a little bit more for that. Yeah, that's getting edited out, so. No, no, no, no. I don't mind being the whipping boy. Actually, that's what your last day said. That's really the crisp of our relationship. One's a sadist and one's a masochist. It's just we flip flop rolls daily. Hey, I was going to say which one is which one is which exactly. So are we going to talk about what we talked about on the podcast that we did that you said, sucked? I don't know which thing are you talking about? Our little luncheon. Oh, absolutely. Okay. Please be my guest. You can do it. All right. Well, did you tell Rodeon? I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't think. Well, on Friday, Taylor and I had lunch with Lola and John Goodman and drum and Mountain Woman because we finally told them all something that we're going to tell our listeners now that it's something that Rodeon already knows that Taylor and I wrote a book. Well, I wrote the book, but he drew all the pictures. It's an actual children's book. It's not about, you know, kukaki. It is an actual children's book and it's published and it is in the Library of Congress and it has a barcode, the whole thing. And none of them knew anything about it. And so it's been six months in the making and we told them by presenting them with our copy and they were all they all seemed genuinely excited, which was nice. It's been six months. It's been six months. It's been remember after one of our tapings, like episode two or three. Yeah. Taffy because we were all talking and Taffy said I've got this idea for something and I want I want Taylor's help for with it. It just feels like yesterday that you guys were having that conversation. Trust me. No, it doesn't. It really does it, actually. But um, so you know what, I think our listeners should be able to, if they want to send us an email and um, you know, and they want to pay 10 bucks, they should be able to get their own copy. Sure. It's a lovely children's book. It's 20 pages long and it's about my dog. Yep. And it's fabulous and also an added bonus to those of you willing to fork over the cash. You will get to know our real names because our real names are on the book. So now everyone has a means to hunt you down. That's right. And by hunt us down, you mean send us fan mail? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Through the woods in the snow with dogs. Yeah. We would last up total of about five minutes. I would make it at least six. Now that I know it can go on upstairs. As long as that fair guy from Discovery channels with us, I'm fine. We have to send Rodana copy. Yeah, we talked about that. Rodana's going to be coming up in a couple of months. So he said that he would just get his copy then. Rodana is coming up for our mutual birthday celebration. Fabulous. Is there a party in the works perhaps? There can may possibly be a party in the works. I think that's an excellent idea. Yeah. He's going to because Rodana and my birthday are about six days apart. Yep. So we have decided that he is going to come down to the Tampa Bay in the middle of December. So. How old will you be Rodana? Oh my god. I'm going to be 32. Are you younger than Taylor? Yeah. I'm sorry that didn't sound very nice. But like a decade. No. No. No. I'll be I'll be. Are you really younger than Taylor? Yes. Yes. Yes. I have no idea. Wait really? He's bar trash. It ages him. I really did think you were older than Taylor. I have to be honest with you. I really. No. For some reason I don't know why but for some reason I thought Rodana was my age. I really I'm high surprised. Wow. I'm not going to shut up. He says he's so mature. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Taylor's been trying to do this. You thought Rodana was 42. Kiss my ass. No. Shut up. No. I am 37 and proud of it. I'm going to be the big three five. Oh. So. No. You know what? It comes after the big three five. There's only one after it and that's the big four oh. Yep. No. Then there's the big five oh. Well yeah. The four oh is the next one. Genius. Oh. Well and but who's closer to the big four oh than me. Oh honey. I I'm thrilled to be 40. It doesn't bother me a bit. I. No. No. No. No. Well. Now when I become 40 that I might feel that. But you know what? When I turned 30 everybody said oh god 30 was awful. 30 wasn't shit. It didn't matter to me at all. So I think you'll be surprised. 40 I don't think is going to bother me either. 30 wasn't too bad turning 30. I was okay with turning 30. I was at your 30th birthday party. I don't remember you being all that okay with being turning 30 but okay. No. You don't remember being okay which it sounds ridiculous to say this now but you don't remember me being okay with turning 26. Oh yeah no that was 26 was I because then it was just a downward slope towards 30. Because essentially we sat in the village in one night after going and for my birthday after after we went out for my birthday and I was sitting there and I'm just like oh my god I'm 26 which means I can't even say I'm in my early 20s anymore. Yeah I agree. He's Jessica Simpson. He's 26 which is you know almost midway through your 20s or whatever. No for gay men though. 2026 is significant because you're no longer a twink. You can't be counted in that early fresh meat bar kind of grouping any longer. So now you're over 20. Which means you're kind of supposed to be an adult. Yeah and because you know when you're two and 30 and you're gay you're dead. So okay that's the second week in a row that you've said something like that and I don't agree with that. I don't agree with it anymore but it's. That's because you're over 30. Exactly and so I kind of you know that was very much my whole attitude when I was in my early late teens and early 20s. So you know it's kind of scary now that it will be 32. I don't know. Really? I mean does it really bother you to be like over 30? Seriously? Well they're who are you asking me? Either of you. I mean it doesn't bother me. I was going to say don't you feel somewhat and I don't this I don't want this to come off as a you know you are motivated type conversation but isn't there something quasi inspiring about being in your 30s because you're you're done with school or at least most you know most people who go to school or done with school and you usually either have a job or have a house or something that's somewhat kind of rooted. I mean you're just re-planning your roots but you still have that and there's there's an like a certain air of I don't want to say competence but just kind of like yeah you know I can do this. When I was in especially my early 20s I just I did not know what that the hell I was so I mean I knew what I was doing but I really didn't if I look back on it now I just think oh god you know what I mean? So now I absolutely love my 30s. Well I think the big go ahead. No go ahead. I think the big difference though is that both Taylor and I are kind of going through this transitory period. True. So I mean it's it feels very much like you know my 20s were one set of life circumstances and now I'm going into that next phase so I've had my starter husband and now I need to you know. It's a horrible thing to say. Well you know but you know very much like I've had that. I really never met the sprout. Right. You know I'm very much kind of like in that hole I feel unattached. I just feel detached from from some things but you're right I mean there's a certain amount of freedom knowing that you know I know what I mean you know the money I make is good and even though I'm kind of going through the crap with trying to sell my house in Florida it and try to get me you know my stuff's coming and all that kind of stuff. I mean it's it's different and weird and adult and I don't know. Isn't this isn't there something about when you think I don't know but there are times when you know to me the numbers don't make sense. Sometimes I still feel like I should be a freshman in college or sometimes I feel like I should still be in high school. That's pretty much how I go through life is that I mean I'm I'm 34 years old and I many days still feel like I'm like 22 23 but then but then don't you also have those there's that there's that feeling of where they're gonna find me out one of these days but don't you also have the feeling of you know what I I have a responsibility and I'm managing to make I think Taylor specifically you and Rodin share this in that you know you just come out of a long-term relationship and it was scary at first but you know what you're keeping your house up and things are getting paid and life is going on and you're not having a hard time and you're doing great and you're having date. You know what I think there's got to be a certain sense of satisfaction to the point of you know what I kind of did this on my own and I bounce back and I I think that's incredible. On some level there is on some level there is that feeling of satisfaction of knowing that I'm getting things done and I'm getting things accomplished and I'm crossing things off of my list as far as things that I want to do but then I've always felt that way ever since I was ever I still feel like the kid in high school sometimes where I'm just sort of like where I sit back and I'll actually think I'm 34 years old and I think back to when my parents were 34 years old and they were raising two kids and you know my mom was working two jobs and you know it was just it's one of these where I don't quite get you know that I'm I'm at that I keep thinking that I'm going to get you know a figured out you know that I just feel like I'm going to get that where I feel like people are going to realize that I'm not who I say I am I don't know it's well I think it's a funny podcast well I think the difference is I think it's insightful though I do I actually think that this is I think a lot of people feel this way I think a lot of people our age and by our age I mean in their 30s or early 40s you know there comes a time when you know I am one of those odd individuals who really truly enjoy a certain element of house cleaning I really do I don't know why because I'm an instagramification person so the whole idea of you know if I vacuum I see the lines I don't know I like that but there are times when I come in my house and I really really like my house and there are times when I come in it and I think you know this is something that you know my husband and I as a unit we do we we have we have the ability to to live in this house and still pay the bills it's I well put together house it's clean our children are safe I don't know there's just something incredibly satisfying about that that I know for a fact even if I had it in my 20s I would not have been able to appreciate and I'm quite positive when I'm in my 40s I look back and go oh my god when I was 30 I know I was doing and it's probably true but you know that's that whole perspective thing but I I thoroughly enjoy getting older well and I'm sorry no and I think that's a I think it's cool but one of the things too for me very along those lines is that you have a family you know and very much that I feel like I want to have a family but that clock feels very much like it's clicking or ticking very quickly that's what I'm thinking to when you're sent when you're talking about that but would you it now would either of you consider adopting a child by yourself no I no I mean I just I work too much and it would just be fair and honestly I'm sorry I mean you are a child well thank you no I mean that in the best possible sense and and children and and when you when I when I am I know myself well enough to know that I am too selfish to be a parent everybody would work always says oh god you'd be a great parent and you should totally think about adopting a kid or you know I would totally have the baby for you if I could and all that sort of ridiculous things that people say because they know I'm never going to say okay I've just so happens that I have a cup of spooge in my back pocket I have a turkey baster a cup of spooge let's go I am I'm just I'm just way too selfish and that was something that I think that was one of those things that I think in the back of drums head that drum always wanted to have a child and I was always very worried that one day we were going to have to have that conversation of you know when he says I want to start thinking about having a kid and me eventually saying I don't want to do that and then I always honestly I mean and I always thought that that would have been the thing that would have broke us up really yeah yeah that it would because and because I would not want to stand in the way of him being a parent I think that in many ways drum would be a great parent and I just didn't think that I would be up for it so you get to live vicariously through my children you can see all the fun you can see all the fun things and all the things that you would go oh my god I'd kill her oh and there are times when I think about how much fun it would be to be a parent just watching your kids and there's other times where I think I would strangle your children right now if they were my kids you know and but that's one of those things that that scares me is that I don't I don't know what I just think I'm too selfish and I figure I'll just live vicariously through you and when I go home I live vicariously through my sister and and all that sort of thing yeah but you know why thank god you realize that you're not one of these people who say oh I have to have a child you're not Britney Spears well thank god Taylor is not Britney Spears no I know but I think the whole selfish excuse is a very pat gay excuse for men not wanting to have a family I mean I really think that because it's the most common excuse you hear from gay men is it I'm sure they might actually feel that way I know a lot of women I have to be honest with you Rodeon I know a lot of women who are married who don't have children who aren't going to have children and the whole idea of children is very much not what they're about because of absolute I enjoy my freedom I enjoy I am selfish I don't think is necessarily the right word but I like my life and I'm afraid of all the changes that will come with that and I don't want that the responsibility the the whole thing I think if you really truly know that about yourself then you don't need to have any kids there's a law that says you have to have kids no agreed but I think a lot of um a lot of gay men are afraid of having children not because you're absolutely right and that's part of the reason too not because that's part of the reason as well but I also I'm afraid but then I'm also self I know myself well enough to know you know that you've known me longer than just about anybody else and you know that I'm the type of person that if I have to pay a bill or I can go fuck around at Best Buy for a little while chances are I'm going to try and pay the bill but I'm also going to try and do Best Buy as well but I put I am one of those instant gratification I want what I want even when I know it's not good for me sort of thing well yeah but to mix a child into that I think would be would be disaster it would be it would be child abuse it would be disastrous I think I think we forget as gay men I think we because how hard it is for us to obtain a child I think we forget how most children are coming to this world most children come in this world as unplanned and their parents weren't necessarily looking to have them and you get nine months notice and that's it and your life changes and that's the way it works and we kind of overthink it and over analyze it and think that you got to have all these preparations to even start the clock ticking and most people just don't do that because there's added pressure on us to be perfect we do eventually become where we can adopt children more openly and freely in this country we are going to be looked at under such a microscope because if the kids that we start adopting start acting all fucked up like many of the kids that are in straight perhaps straight parents do then it's going to be looked at as well we should have never let them adopt in the first place and we need to replicate these laws and we need to make sure that we need to protect the children from these bad this bad parenting skills well actually the absolute opposite to me is true because I can tell you that it's for some reason it always happens at Disney World but I would so much rather see a gay specifically male I guess a gay male couple with you know the baby Bjorn sling and the backpack and the kids with every conceivable possible you know a sucker in one hand Mickey Maliceres on the head and and they're laughing and acting silly as opposed to the straight couple who the kid is crying because he's tired the mom's jerking them by the arm where you see you see that a lot more which situation is really better for the kid a laughing happy two daddy family or the family where people are jerking them by the arm you know I'm saying well but Taylor has a point there is that it's all about the that appearance and I don't disagree with Taylor at all it's just that it's you know the area there are times that though that those that two male family they have hard times where they're jerking the kid by the arm and the kids crying and everything like that and the problem is that if you put those two situations next to each other that the two men are going to be judged more harshly than the man and the woman oh I absolutely agree with you there yeah yeah yeah I don't I mean yeah that's yeah it's just it's just bad well yeah and it's just one of those things where you know we just have to kind of move on in the areas where it is more okay for gay men to adopt or gay or lesbians to adopt it's happening and it's happening with no dire consequences so those are the things that you know just because really you guys live in Florida and live in Louisiana both are kind of in the same situation just because we're in these areas where the gay adoption isn't you know prevalent doesn't mean that it's not readily accepted other places and you're absolutely right you know there is starting to be a history here where there are good solid numbers of children growing up in gay households and they're growing up healthy and smart and educated and well adjusted moral and have and pillars of their society and until those statistics are made known to the world I think there's going to be a lot of resistance that you know what guess why my husband is probably one of the best parents I know and there's no doubt in my mind that if he had chosen to raise our children with another man he still would be a great father you know I mean is that an option only with you only with you he's saving all of his love for you oh Whitney Houston said it best oh yeah crack horse said it best there's a new picture of her out she actually doesn't look quite bad no she looks like she's a little bit but she really doesn't look bad I haven't seen it yet yeah she looks like she's had a burger or two oh she looks like she had what a burger or two it's also on the delisted the delisted okay I haven't been to delisted since this afternoon yeah do we have a birthday shout-out isn't someone's birthday tomorrow of another podcast are we know or was that today

visit us and we would go to and as long as they would you know feed us dinner and potentially you know put us up or come to their house and do a podcast it would be like road rules on the podcast I think that's an exceptional idea we used to joke about this all the time we were going to do road rules and Rodan and Taylor used to say day 12 Taylor cried I don't think it would take 12 days for Taylor to cry but that would be the that would be the the greatest thing that would be so much hour two Taylor cry exactly I don't think it would be hour two four fuck you both okay um we have three new friends on uh my space yay we have a terminal that's the name that he or she goes by is terminal and we also have Mary in Las Vegas who also goes by Maz and we also have Miss Cassie in Montana wow
