All my original co-hosts are out of town, but you might have seen these faces, hear these voices, every few other pods. We got Andrea Gin, one of my favorite people, and Wreckly, one of my best friends. And I have a little quarrel with Wreck. I got to start the pod this way, and it's something because I feel like this is what I learned. I feel like I hold things in, and I lie about things that bug me, and it builds up to this volcano. So tell me off the pod. No, it'll help, because it has to do with the pod. Say it right now. It has to do with it. What is it? I really enjoy having you on the pod. I think you're hilarious. I think you add a lot to this universe. But there was a couple months ago, after being participated on the pod, I consider you part of this family. You've talked shit about it, or made fun of it, which made me feel like I don't ever want to put you on the pod. Because why would you make fun of the thing that I've included you in and considered you a part of this family, and a part of the pod? When did this happen? This was in a group chat or something, you threw in a pod, and you made fun of it, and said something sly about how... Okay, so you know what's funny? I know exactly what you're talking about. What did you say? And I got mad about it. And you actually saw that eye, and you actually... This is what happened. The joke was, I was in Korea, and then I saw my buddy who... He makes this brand called ESA, and I was wearing ESA for my t-shirt and my jacket. Yeah. So I was super supporting. Yeah. So then I saw him, and he was watching your pod, and he was super supporting you. So the joke was... Yeah, I don't remember all this explained. I was like, that's so corny that you're watching it, and it's corny that I'm wearing it. Oh, yes, that was it. That was the context. Okay. I was like, you are corny for watching fun with dumb. Why would I say that? I'm just saying. That's what I took it as. Wow. So I got instantly mad, and you saw my comment. I was like... I kind of like... Yeah, he was like... He was like... No, TK. I'm super grateful that you're watching the pod. And then I responded to you, I was like, bro, that's not... You're missing the joke. No, you just said... It was the joke. I'm joking. You said I'm joking or something. But then I took it as like... It never left my brain. Wow. Like it never left my brain. No, he's getting mad by himself. So in my head, and that's why I'm clearing it up. I'm not holding animosity because you're here, obviously. But in my head was like, I'll never have Wreck on my pod. Like... It's like you'll be my friend, but I'll never have you on the pod. But do you understand now that what the joke was? I get it. I was just saying that I was being super square. Now it makes sense. Now it makes sense. What would I say? Why would I say that? But I wanted to declare that because it's... I don't build this pod. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. But that's why I was hurt because you made it sound like someone is corny. For listening to it or watching the pod. And that made me like... So instantly in my head, literally this is what happened. I was like, I'll never have this stuff on the pod. Ever. So even today... Did you add me on the list? So what happened was... Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Did you add me on the list? Just for this particular thing. So... So Andrea, I told Andrea like... His list of people he hates, by the way. So he's gonna get revenge on. So I told Andrea, I was like, "Yo, will you do my pod?" Because in my head, I already... Obviously if Rick and Stephanie aren't available, you already come to my mind. But I had already been like, "No, I can't do that. That'll never happen again." Because of this list I created in my head. Wait, wait. But yo, how... But that's so weird, because like, how could you think that that's what I meant? I just felt like... It hurt me. It hurt me. No, no, no. It just hurt me because I was like, "Why are you calling this thing corny?" It's like, why this thing that I've been doing for 320 episodes included all my friends, you know what I'm saying? From all over these walls, man. But that's what I'm saying. So to me, it hurt me and I told myself, as you may know, I have these lists I've created with certain people. Yeah. And I'm also a big proponent of you throwing that list away because eating you a lot. Yeah. I've been sleeping, bro. How upset you get. I even created these punishments that don't even affect their lives. Yeah. And yeah, and think about it, you put me on this list for something that I should never been on. Wait. Have I ever done anything? Hold on. Wait, let me... Let's just finish it. Wait, hold on. Hold on. He's still on trial right now. No, I think you owe me an apology then. Well, now, okay. Alex, turn on the AC real quick because I'm getting heated right now. I'm just... Yeah, he's sweating. Turn on the AC. No, no, no. I'm gonna make a joke about being too supportive. And it was a joke on me first. First, I start the joke saying, "Look at me, I'm wearing double your brand." And then look at him. Yeah. And I was just making it just that way. Let me also clarify. This is not you guys. This is obviously an issue that I had. Yeah, you have an issue. But I do want to clarify that. That sounded so crazy to me because I was like, "Yo." I get that. I get that. I created a platform and put a lot of my friends able to like join. Say whatever. I love this pod, man. Why do you think I'd come? I don't get paid. Wreck watches. Wreck watches. I ran over here, bro. Okay. Wreck watches. Wreck watches. Wreck watches the pod when I'm on it. When I scooter. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That's why I wanted to clarify that. But that's crazy that you... I felt that. So that... And that was like two months ago. Two months ago? So you've been having this inner battle with yourself. Yeah. Communication is important. It is important. It is a moment. It is. That's why I wanted to clarify. Why didn't you communicate this whole time? I thought you were a comedian, bro. It's... You know what? I think I need to communicate more because I just think it's always just the end all. Like, "Oh, that's how you feel?" No, but you didn't even check. Then that's the energy. Then that's the energy. You didn't even check if that's how he feels. Yeah, but it just came off that way. You know? It did come off that way. Look. I even explained the joke to her. I found it. Okay. Let's read it back. Just read it back so we can put it in. Oh, my God. I can't read it exactly. Can you screenshot that convo and just send it to Alex so we could put it in three for this clip? Yeah. All right. Do you feel hurt that he thought that? I'm just like... Did you feel wag, though? Did you feel that I felt that way? I'm disappointed in you. Okay. Okay. I apologize. I apologize. It was a miscommunication, but did you feel at that moment that I felt that I did? I did. And that's why I explained the joke to you. Explain. Do you just not read text? I probably got so mad you threw your phone and you went to sleep, but you didn't read the rest of the interaction. Well, that's what happened. No, no. I did see the interaction. Do you shut down when that gets... Okay. I don't usually like to clarify it when someone gives me a certain type of energy. Okay. I'm just like, this is the energy and that's what it's going to stay as. Okay. Okay. Okay. Like, why do I have to fight to clarify your energy or original energy? You know why though? You know why? You know why you have to fight because, first of all, I'm your friend. If it was Substranger, that's understandable because look, it is on you to fight to understand what's going on because it was clearly nothing. So if you do fight to do it, then you will understand there's nothing and it'll be all good. But let me clarify. But if you don't fight, if you don't try to understand... Right. I feel like some people deserve more, which is your friend. Yeah. No, but the thing is, I was willing to continue as friends, but just... Oh my God! No, but this one thing... I was willing to continue. No, but I'm saying, no, I did, and it didn't affect our friendship. The only thing I wasn't going to do is the pod thing, like have you on the pod. And that was the only part of the whole thing. It's like you could be friends with somebody, but you could have one disagreement. So that was our one disagreement. You were just like, this section of my life, you're blocked off. You get every piece of this pod. I am cutting this slice. Yes. This is only for Stephanie and Rick then. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yes. You explained it perfectly, actually. That is how I felt. But then I want to apologize right now, on live on air. I want to apologize. That I didn't misunderstand, and you explained it. Did you realize that you misunderstood? Now I understand. Or you just... I just... I just... Right now. Just right now. He just... Just right now. So what was it? So what if I did mean it? Because you actually didn't clarify it. So you wouldn't... Hold on. If I did mean it like that, would you want me to say like a public apology, and then this is awkward for the next hour? What was your plan, bro? Explain to me what your plan was. I did just... I did... Whoa. If you didn't mean it. Also, if you felt that way up until this moment, why the fuck did you invite me? Why didn't you stick to your plan, bro? Because I was like, "You know what? I think the pot episode will be better if she came." I was like, "I would endure it." I would endure it, but if he's gonna act like this pot is corny throughout the whole thing, I'm gonna be like, "Okay, I made a mistake. I should have kept them off of it." So this is my last chance, baby. No, no. Well, not anymore. This is my last chance. Because you clarified it. But let me just tell you this. You actually didn't clarify the original text exchange. No, I did. No, no, no, no. You didn't explain. Because you saw that I got mad. You saw that I got mad because I was like, "TK, no, no, it's okay. You should enjoy the pot. It's okay for you to like the pot." Yeah. And you were like, "Relax, bro." No, I was kidding. Look at the next... So that just means... What is the next text? I texted that. Oh my God. And then I know him. So I was like, "Okay, I have to explain more." So right after, literally right after, I go, "That would mean, if I was serious, that would mean I also don't fuck with Ise." Or, I think it's stupid to rock Ise. Did you explain it? Yes. Okay, okay. All right. I didn't see it that far. Yeah. Okay. To make up for it, I think you should make him the official host. All this to tell you guys, "Meet the new host of the month." Look, look, look, look, I can't read it because, but look, Lex, that would mean... You said, "LOL, relax. It was a joke fan." Yeah. It sounds like you're just saying, "Yeah, what's the reason what you said?" I know. And then I realized that I need to explain more. Yeah. And then I explained it even more. He did explain more. Oh, my God. He explained more. I explained the whole... No, I'm here to expose Dom. All right. But Alex, do you know, do you think that could have been taken out of contract? Shut up, Dom. It's you, bro. No, but also he explained it. He did. He did. Clearly he explained it, to be honest. What is that? What? You need a fifth explanation. Okay. Well, I think... All right. Let's say about you now. Okay, okay. What's wrong with you? Well, I just... I did feel... Let go of the hate in your heart. Well, because I do... Besides just that comment, maybe it was a buildup of feeling like you kind of just had no respect for the pod, you know, in a way. I love the pod. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That's maybe that's what my mindset was. The best people to be on the pod, when we're with like, you know, like bigger names that I think you should be getting on the pod and you don't think to say it, I go to that guy and be like, "Hey, you should do Dom's pod." Yeah. Don't worry. But it's my fault that I don't like... I'm a huge advocate for this pod. There's like... How dare you, bro? Okay. All right. All right, well done. Let's move on. Let's move on. Oh my God. I feel like a dad whose like son is like, "I hate you, dad." I think maybe I do have... You don't do anything for me. This pettiness thing is becoming an issue in my life. It is an issue. In my life. Yeah. You just go to Joshua's tree? I'm like, "Yeah." Look at it. How many you have the same feelings too, right? Not to this extreme. She's... She did extreme? Yes. It's not that extreme. You're pretty extreme. You guys just yelled about it for what, like, five, 15 minutes? Listen, you know, I'm telling you, Dom, I see a pattern, it's going to get worse and worse because you're going to have more and more times where you're going to be like, "I don't need to..." no, the key wrong me wants, no conversation, ever. When that conversation could make you feel better and undue and misunderstanding. Yeah. That's true. That's true. I feel like as we get older, we should... There's two paths. You can either soften up or you can get more, you know, angry or and blocked off. Yeah. And you have chosen... You're taking the dark side right now. The dark side is on the end of it is a heart attack. Put the hood on, bro. I think I am starting to sound like a kid being like, "That's why you're not invited to my birthday." Yeah, exactly. That kind of thing, right? You know, like, that's kind of the energy I feel. Yeah. But you guys got some petty stuff too, right? Not like this. Not really. Are you sure? Not like this. Okay, so it's just me. Alex, you? No, I'm just... So it was like two months that you held on to this. Did you guys see each other at all? Like, yeah, we were in time. We were literally traveled to Canada together. Yeah, that's right. And you couldn't... No, but I told you. I can separate the thing. I can still be friends with you. It's just like this one area that I am going to just, you know... Little did I know he was hating me for the inside. Every time I talk to you about, "Yeah, shut up, motherfucker." No, no, no. I didn't hate shit. You are not coming on the bus. Yeah. I don't... I'm not going to take... Like, it's not... I'm going to, like, keep it on the court. You know, I'm not going to take it out of the court, you know? Yeah. Have I done anything? No, no. You're fine. See, not lying. No, no, no. I'm scared. A culture where everyone's now having to be on the toes and be like, "Did I offend dumb? Do you want to be that guy?" No, I don't want to be that guy. You don't want to be that guy, dude. You're not that guy. Have I not... I've not done anything. You haven't done... What do you think? I'm an angel. No, you're fine. You're fine. I'm joking all the time. I'm trying to think. Is there something... No, no, I think you're good. Okay. Thank you. Okay. But you're right. This is a problem that I need to work through. I do have to do this. That's fine. I support you. And... More. I'd love to have you on the pod. Yeah. I misunderstood that. Is there anyone else you've banned from the pod? No, no, no, no, no. It was just that comment that rubbed me the wrong way. I know. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you can see how that could have been taken out of context, right? I could see it and that's why I explained it four times. Right. Right, right, right. So I see both sides but more so that you've explained it. Yes. All the text exchange started with just him being like, "He's responding to another person who said that day we were watching the pod and you're like, "You're watching the pod?" No, I didn't. Not that lame. Like that kind of vibe. I didn't. No, I didn't. I brought it up myself. Okay. Because it was all part of the joke. Okay. All right. All right. All right. It's so good. I have receipts. I'm so glad I have receipts. You guys should touch of some kind. No, no, no. We did. We're all good. Okay, okay. Touch tips. Touch of some kind. Yeah. Actually, I saw. Oh my God. I posted on my story. I saw this guy. Like someone gave him a fist bump and then he started doing all types of shit. Do you see that? No. It just ends like that. What do you mean? Like that one? It's like a magic. Oh, they're like snails. Yay. Jellyfish. Yay. Yeah. He did a bunch. Yeah. Okay. That's what's new with you. I just thought. You should end this pot. Someone, the funny of the episode is just you guys did that and I just came to watch that like just the conference. Wait, what's, what's, what's new? Wait, you want to finish your thought? Go ahead. What about the handshake? I'm just wondering what that's it. You don't have a handshake like that. Oh, why we don't have a handshake like that. Okay. Great one right now. I do. You should be just on being like, you're never coming on the pot. Well, it's speaking of handshake. I just thought of something. Let me let me ask you this. You did a fist bumping. Fuck out of here. You're never coming. Could I say this? I'll come like, you know, when I, when we see each other like as men, we do a handshake. Usually when you see a home girl, you go directly for the hug, right? Do you think that's a little bit like we should just all be equally doing the same thing to each other? No, no, no, no. You know why? Because. Otherwise, the girls hands are kind of small. Oh, it's a little awkward. They're like, hands are like, oh, actually, I have a big hand. She's got me. No, I don't. My hand is normal. I don't like how sometimes I separate it and I'm not going to lie. Sometimes with they, them homies, I get confused if I should go with a hug or the handshake. With they, them? Yes. I will say that. Is that it? Is that your baby? Is that the bit? Do you work on that one? It's not the bit. I'm just saying I do cancel him. With they, then you put, put, put, you put your, your hand on their head. That sounds crazy. And then you kiss them on the forehead. Wait. What? No, I'm joking. That's crazy. I was like, I was about to do that. You about to get me in trouble by doing that. You about to get me in trouble. I'm like, that's the official. No. I would love that. Yeah. You just. On the forehead. I've been hugging more of my men, the male homies though. Hugging? Okay. Yeah. Why? I think they're, I'm feeling a little bit more something about like appreciating my friends a little more. That's nice. You know, and, and a handshake doesn't suffice. You know what I like when women do what? Pat me on it. They do? I've never done that. Wait. What's your first question? Do you ever dap up a homegirl? No. It's never that. That would feel so strange. Like if I did that with another woman, they would be like, what was that? Like they would. It would be a conversation afterwards. They'd be like, why do we just do that? Why did we just do that? If somebody did that to me, I would be like, why did we just do that? That's a good question. You know, like when some girls they see each other, they go, ah, and then they run for it. Okay. That is just cartoonish. What? But you see it happen all the time, right? No. Only on TV. Only on TV or movies. It happens real life. I see that shit all the time. I'm. Okay. Sorry. You all right? Yeah. Sorry. All right. I guess I can't even ask you to question it. I was just going to ask like, when as a girl do you feel like that's the protocol? If I may be a lesbian. Is that a lesbian behavior? I don't think that's why it's being gay. Only if somebody else chooses to do that with me. If a woman decided to, Hey, we're going to do this. And we did that. Yeah, but I feel like it's a unspoken thing. Maybe, you know what it is unspoken, because if they started to do that, then I would do it. What do you do when you see one of your like girlfriends? What do I do? Hug or what's the standard? Oh, wait. The screaming thing. Yeah, you know the screaming. But you know what? That might be more of an. I thought we were talking about dapping up still. No, no, no, no. She seems to come up from a distance. Okay. India. I would not. I would not. I would not. I would not. I would not. I would not. I would not do that screaming. I wouldn't scream. I would just be like, Hey, yeah, that's happened. And then when I had to react. I'll just be like, Hey, yeah, you know what? I've seen you do this because your hay is the scream. Yeah. You just have them because I want them to simmer down. So I'll lower it. So maybe you mess their level like, Hey, yeah, yeah, I lower it, you know, can I ask you, have you ever been one to be like, What's up, bitch? No, no, you never done that. No. Yeah. I don't think you for one of those. I would not. That just would feel not authentic, you know, because I wouldn't mean that. What's your what's your move? Like what do you want to be like, Hey, that's it. This is the hay. How are you? This is your best friend that you haven't seen in 10 years. I would, I would be silent when I saw them. I would just go straight up to them and then hug them. I and then touch my face near their face. I really love when I love when see two girls and they're going back and forth with the like, Oh my God, hey, bitch, it just makes me feel warm inside. I love it. I love it. Because you want that. I like it. I just want to do that. There's a, no, there's a level of like such closeness in a bond when you're being like, Hey, bitch to a friend. It's just like, I don't know. Hey, bitch, you know, like, Oh my God, bitch, stop. No, you, you, you, you, sounds rude when I say it, I'm like, Hey, bitch. Yeah. Yeah. That's not the same. Hey, bitch. I'm not doing. Yeah, but I can't do it in that way. Really? I think you could. Hey, bitch. Hey, bitch. Hey, bitch. No, that sounds like I'm being in like ironic or like funny, you know, gay people do that, right? To the girlfriends. Yeah. What? Why would you feel we did it? To men. To girls. If you said that to me, yeah, I'm like, yo, what a bitch. I'd be like, why did you just call me a bitch? Not that I'm saying that I want to do it. I'm just saying. Did you have, did you have like a gay best friend growing up? A gay man, best friend? No, I find them to be too loud. And I can say that because gay men are men. Yeah. And men, I think sometimes I'm like, just, why do you have to yell at me? I think usually the ones that are the role of like the gay best friend to a girl are usually the louder than the girl side. My favorite gay men are the ones that talk like me where they seem like they have no energy to hold themselves up. I've seen this gay energy. Yeah, exactly. I've seen this gay energy. No, exactly. Those are my favorite gay men. They're the meanest though. Yeah. They're just like, I mean, I'm like, you know, like, like everything is the ill. You're gonna wear that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. I can do that. Yeah. But that's more my, my speed of gay, but like the screaming and they don't make you feel bad. If that energy's around you all the time, no, that wouldn't make me, because that would match my energy. Oh, I see. Yeah. We would just be the same. Yeah. Okay. I would just be like, yeah. Yeah. Why would she wear that? That's weird. I don't think and no one hurts me more than that energy gay guy. Why? It's just like, how they've been mean to you? Yeah. I just feel like they're always like sizing me up. Not in a good way. Just like sizing me up like, I hate everything you're wearing and everything you represent, you know? Wow. I don't even. So it's kind of the same energy with you. Wait. Do you feel that way about me? No, no, no, no. I mean, you're, you're on my list in a different area, but no, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, you're not. But I'm never mean to my friends with my friends. I'm very supportive. I mean to everyone outside of my friends. That's true. We've talked shit about a lot of people together. Yeah, but my friend bubble, I'm so nice, like to, I give them every benefit of every doubt. Do you ever feel like certain people and friends you have around you that talk shit about a lot of people, like if they're talking that much shit about people, they must be talking shit about me. Yeah. Another group. Do you ever judge them like that? I do. You do. I don't. I know. And there's people that I know that I'm just like, they're talking shit about. That kind of has to be the case, right? Yeah. Like, does it have to be? It does. Because I, I do that. I talk shit a lot about other people, but like never my people. No, but you're not that bad. Okay. Yeah. Honestly, because like thing about our conversation, we don't talk shit. No, I'm mostly just talking about my life and you're like, I'm like laughing. I'm shrieking laughing. We're also talking shit about people in like a complete different world usually. No, no, that's not true. Yeah. I don't. Okay. There's a difference between, because I'll participate in talking shit if it comes up, but I'm not going to bring it to the table. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. But the person that always brings it to the table is probably always talking shit about other people. Right. Or like everyone. I do worry about that though because I do feel like I think the problem is is that the word will always get back to you in some way. Yeah. But everyone is so confident that in those circles, like it will be sealed tight and it won't leave that circle. Or I think the people that love like really talk a shit, they love talking shit and they talk shit about everybody. They don't even care. They don't. They love talking shit more than they care about if it gets back. But there is a style of talking shit. If you're going to do it the general non-carrying way, it has to come off in a very like, this is my personality as opposed to like a very personal attack on somebody. Right. Right. Do you know what I mean? I know also it helps if you go like, you talk mad shit and you go, they're cool though. Yeah. Yeah. It's so true. I respect it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I like to do that. It's a little button. Yeah, I put. Yeah. I like to do that. I love them. But that's one thing. Oh shit. That's one thing. The two styles, yours is the button. They're cool though. Yeah. Yours is, you start off the top. I honestly, I love them and they're the best, but I actually think that's more of the girl way. Yeah. That's more of the girl way and then that's more of the guy way of shit talking. That's true. We're way up front. The two genders. I'm actually, no, no, the girls are up front. They start the top. Well, we're up front because we're seeing the truth. And then. So we're fake then. You're saying girls are fake. Hell yeah, y'all are fake. Yeah, girls are fake. You're fake. You have to be fake though. There's a certain level I think that of fakeness, you have to be as a woman. Girls are fake because like they're screaming at each other sometimes when they see each other. That's false. Yeah. No one's that excited. No one's that excited. You know what's a good way of talking shit about somebody is is if you're talking shit about somebody that you guys we all know. Wait, hold on. Wait. Yeah. Yeah. Before we end on me just saying girls are fake. No, it's not that bad. I agree. We'll clarify that. Yeah. I remember we were talking about red flags once. And then I said when my red flags for girls like if they have no girlfriends. Yeah. And then I'm like, of course, I'm like they probably couldn't be fake. Like, you know, just like a little level of fakeness to keep sure that is one. But also they see other women as competition. That is the that is another red flag of not having girlfriends. Do you think they have they feel that? Yeah. Because then they want to be the only girl in the room, which is probably like that's yeah. And they see other women as competition, which is not healthy because they're a woman. You know. Yeah. It's just bad. It's just bad vibes. Yeah. Well, I was just saying another like a little special like a little tactic to talk shit. What was it? What was it? What is this? You can say this that this is a good way where you can avoid it leaving the circle. It's like this, but you know, say like we're talking about Darryl, like Darryl is this blah blah. But I've already told him to his face, you know, I don't know if that's effective. It is effective because if you clarify that you've you've also said this to them. Yeah. They don't usually go like this circle won't go over there and be like, you know what he said, right? Because they already assumed we talk about it in front of them. I don't know. I don't know. Because. No, okay. Yeah. It's a tactic. It is. I don't think so. I cause for me, like you know me, right? I've talked shit, but I've, whatever I talk shit, I'll say to the face and I've done that amount of time. Yeah, you have. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like for me, I'm comfortable talking shit because I'll do that. I'm not, I'm not saying anything that I'm not scared to say in public. No, but I think you, there's people who do different edited versions of talking shit. What you say to their face might be slight edited the way you might talk about them in a different group. Wouldn't you agree? Like everyone kind of has a little edited version. It's not the exact same version you tell to someone's voice. Yeah. I also think that I've. Yeah. No, I don't talk as much shit as I used to. Yeah. Right? I don't either. Like I don't either. Like I don't need. Yeah. I'm more preoccupied with my own stuff. I'm chilling. And like I think also coming to LA like made me more mellow and chill. Yeah. Because in New York, I was way more aggressive and talking shit and starting shit. You know what I mean? Everyone always explains like the shit they talked differently when they're confronted. Like you couldn't be saying something like, yeah, man, you know, Daryl is fucking lazy. He's a loser and plays video games all day. And then when you get confronted, it's like, no man, what I was saying is you got matte potential, bro, and you're just not using it enough, you know, everyone kind of changes of the translation, you know, I've never been confronted. Really? Yeah. For talking shit. And I have talked shit, but but I don't know. Yeah, nobody's ever confronted. Confront of you. It's coming. Shit. Shit. But. Okay. How about this? When you guys talk shit about someone or talk shit in general, do you think, do you find like a common thread? Like is there a certain type of person you don't like that you can kind of? Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the joy of talking shit with a group of people. It's like you're, if you found a Facebook group that agrees with you and it's revolving no, no, no, but I'm saying though, like, is there a trend of the people you don't like in your life? Like the people? Like are they? I don't know. Is there something that is similar to all of them? Well, the type of people that I talk shit about. Yeah. Usually. I don't know if that's a matter. I think for me, it's like they're unaware of something. Mm. They like awareness. Yeah. They're either unaware they should be happier or unaware they should be less happy. Mm. Like they're, or they're too pompous of some kind. Oh. They're just acting too happy or too sad. I don't know. Isn't that kind of like, and this is our fault too, the ones who do this shit talking. It's like there's, we have issues with these people for a certain reason, you know, and they cannot necessarily be doing anything wrong, but it's a shitty personality type. And you're just like, and everyone, and we usually talk shit about that person because everyone seems to like a lot of people seem to tolerate that bullshit, you know. And then also it's like a, a bit of like projecting. It is projected. Yeah. You don't complain a lot, so like you probably don't like when other people complain. Yes. Yes. Yes. I hate when other people complain. Yeah. Like so much, so much. What, is it the fact that you're like, you should be grateful or what? No, it's more like deal with it. Yeah. Yeah. Because I deal with it my whole life. Yeah, exactly. I deal with it and then some, you know, I'll literally like drown before I ask, yeah, complain or ask for help, you know. I feel like most social media like thoughts or rents feel like complaints now. Like when I see tweets or when I see captions about stuff, it feels like a complaint in a way. Well, I don't. So all your clips from this podcast, no, I don't mind complaining. It's more so like asking for help. Oh, yeah. I don't like that either. Yeah. Like deal with it. Deal with it. So you're like, see a go fund me and you're like, fuck off. I mean, if it deserves that energy, you know, if somebody's dying, then no. They should know. I noticed that you have a lot of like hatred and like, no, no, no, no, no, just like in line with what we're talking about here, you know, she complains about these people. I mean, she doesn't like these type of people because they complain because she doesn't complain. And then you like, you like send like these posts from like content creators that you think are just timeless, like hacks that, you know, right? And that's probably because you, you work hard and you've, you know, done whatever. And you don't think that their shit is like valid. I would say I will respect Wreck on this because I do think Wreck is way more understanding of like the, the trash of this generation, you know, like, I tell you can say like, you understand content, the content of this generation is going to say, I respect that dumb Wreck understands me like, no, no, no, no, I'm saying you're very like, you're very open-minded to the new generation, the new generation and their content creation. And all of that. Yeah. While I'm a little bit more washed when it comes to that, like I'm talking shit about it in a group chat, but I don't do it too much here. Like I don't really do it. In relation to you, because you walked the walk and it was long and strenuous. And but for these people, they just pointed the camera to their face, no, I think it should be easier for every generation, but I do think like there is something that's good and something that's just content creation for the sake of creating content. Because art and there's content creation, there's two different things in my opinion. And I think majority of the content we see online is just content. It's not art. Yeah. But who's saying? It has to be art. Yeah. Who's saying that that's art? Like we don't need 20. Like I'm just saying. Okay. But who's saying that's art and you have to deal with it? Well, it's just his preference to well, I, I think, yeah, maybe be right. Yeah. So like it's just what it is, like people take it. I do think people call it art. I, I do think like, I do think a lot of people nowadays, no one wants to say anything is good or bad. Everything is just at least it's like created, you know, like at least they created it and like everyone gets credit for create, create, yeah, but it's not necessarily art. No, but I think, I think it's just the fact that like I'm not a huge fan of a lot of these creators either, but I understand it because like that's where we're headed as like a society. Like literally like, yeah, but I don't have to accept that. Well, you might be forced to accept it, but it might just become a reality. No, I need to be walking around and like, I don't accept this, but it's true. Yeah. They're going to show up. They're going to show up to events, right? And they're going to be like, Hey, fellow creator. I, I get maybe that's what it is. You don't want to be lumped into the box with the same person that I get that it is the future and this how it's changing, but I don't like it. And I don't want to be the one to just be like, okay, I'll deal with it. I don't want to deal with it. You know what? Yeah. Yeah. It's an easy way to get out and your life. I don't like the fact to do what I like critiquing. I think there's, I think there is, you know, power and just being like, I don't like this or I do like it. I like people who take sides. You know what I'm saying? I don't like, I don't like the neutral bullshit. Yeah. Well, I'm not, again, I'm not being neutral. I'm just, I told, again, like I said, I said, I was like, I don't know. I'm not fan allowed to shit, but I'm just saying like, I recognize the reality of the situation. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm saying I got to give you credit for that. I feel like every time I share something, I hate in the group chat, which is like 90% of my content. Rec always is kind of on the defense. He does play devil's advocate for these kids, you know? Yeah. And so Rec is for the kids. Rec is for the kids. Rec is for children. Yeah. My biggest quarrel right now. But yeah, I'll say that. Besides directing earlier is I do hate that I feel pressured to like be a content creator. Like I think about it. I'm like, damn, I should do something on TikTok. I should do more reels and shit. Yeah. I feel that too. Kind of though I don't want to, but I feel pressured that I have to. I used to just have to show up to the show and do the show. And now it's like, well, why are you doing this and this, you're doing podcasts or do you set up a little tripod and have like, yeah, like, but it used to be just, you go to the show and you do the show and if you have a good show, then that's a mission accomplished. But then now it's like, did you tape it? Did you, did you have a good crowd interaction? Did you have a good, but then again, yeah, at the end of the day, you don't have to conform to these things. No, but you kind of do. You do have to conform to that as a stand up nowadays. Yes. But I, but I am grateful at the end of the day, you don't have to do it. You can get. I do have to do it. No, I'm saying you don't have to. No. Well, you do have to do if you want to grow, right? If you want to be a successful stand-up, you have social media. Yes. If you want to grow your social media. Which is the only way to do stand-up now. But if you're so good at the show, like, what I'm saying is that- But your reach is whoever's at the show. It's limited reach, right? What I'm saying, okay, right now we're at a time where a lot of people, it's DIY, they're their own team, right? They're making their own content and whatever, they're their own marketing, all that. But we still live in a time where there's talent that doesn't do any of that and they, you know, they do put out content, but they're not the ones cutting it up and shooting it and all that stuff. They have someone to do that for them. I'm grateful that I have someone to do it for me. Yeah. But so many stand-ups don't, because like, they don't have the resources or something. And it sucks that like, if I started at a time now where I have to do all of that on my own, I would have still done it because that's the way you do it. But it would just be take up a lot of time in my life. You know what I actually find frustrating and maybe you guys will relate to this or not, but like for you, right? Like you're not right now actively making rills and, you know, TikToks and stuff like, and then you're a funny guy. Like I've seen you in person for like a lounge or bar and you're like staying jokes out. Like it's hilarious. You're funny. Thank you. But I've seen other content creators where they, when they're shooting their thing or I've shot with them, like they can barely get any fucking words out their mouth. Like you know what I'm saying? I have to do like 12 takes to get one line off or something. I find that a little frustrating as like someone who comes from a live performance space that like, you know, that there's not much appreciation for like the live performer as opposed to the guys who are just doing hundreds of edits on their clips. But what is different though and it's going to keep giving towards this is like, yeah, like even when you text, right, you know, back in the day we call each other more, right? Now it's just like, like Gen Z they don't like talking about the text and it then that's all editing. Yeah. Yeah. And then like the tweets. Calling is live, you know. Like tweets are all, you know, you think you can think and then you can post. Yeah. We're so edited. Yeah. And then we're so edited. We are living in an edited world. Yeah. And they make the content and it's like they make sure it's perfect and they put it out. And then once we meet them in person, we're like, Oh, because I'm better live. Yeah. I, yeah, I'm not that great at it. I mean, I'm okay. But I'm saying in general too, like if you're a good artist, that that specialness that you capture in a live moment, it can't be recaptured. I honestly think even when you see a video of a performance, it's just not the same. You lose so much of the magic of the people who are there, you know, live is special. Is there a way we can stop people from editing? Kill them. We kill. Well, you should fire Alex, then yeah, we just first of all, I hate that Alex is editing to be able to see in which should we fire him today? Oh, not. Well, here's an announcement. Let's just make this announcement. I think we have to say so the other day, a couple of days ago, Alex hit me up. He was like, can I go out? Let's grab a coffee. I'm like, Oh, what's wrong? Is he going to ask for a raise or say something that offended him, like from me, because I'm afraid of that too. Like when someone pulls me to the side, I'm like, Oh, what did I do? You called something cheesy that I did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Alex tells me that he got a job. He's been on active job search and he found a job. Congratulations. Congratulations. Alex, this is his last pod. He'll be leaving the pod permanently. This is the last one. Never say never. Yeah. Did he leave permanent last time? He did. Everybody's came back. Are they making, are you making a lot more money? Yeah, I mean, I'm really excited to start this new job. It's not. Are you making more money though? It's a little bit, a little bit more, which is great, you know, I'm, you know, first of all, thank you to to dumb because, you know, it's been like seven over seven years, you know, and in the podcast, yeah, we met in twice or we started working together, I guess technically 2017. So it's, yeah, it's, it's been an amazing ride. I'm not going far. I'm going to be right down the street, you know, all the time. And thank you to all the listeners, podcast listeners to anyone that's like, came up to me and said like they enjoy the podcast. Like I really appreciate that. And yeah, I'm excited for this next chapter of my life. It's definitely very bittersweet. I've enjoyed my time here so much and, and you know, I'll always be, always be around. Alex has always been a part of the co-host as well. You know, not just behind the scenes. He's been a character of this universe as you may know, you know, has he ever pissed you off? Yes. Yes. A lot of times. He's pissed me off a lot. He actually pissed me off at that statement right there. That ran way too long. If there's one thing you can learn from this pod, maybe cut it short, like I'm going to need you to edit your own thing. Goodbye. That was insane. Yeah. He's been doing these kind of long winded responses these days. I don't know what's going on. You changed or something. I'm like that somebody clone Alex because it's not the same dude. Something happened. AI. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we call the AI. Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of times I'm put on the spot. And so I'm, I kind of stall and well, I'm trying to figure out what I think. So, so by the time. A little buster, a little buffering, a little buffering that thing that we used to do in class when someone's like, oh, can you recite the first line of the Constitution? And then you're like, the first line of the Constitution. Yeah. And you know what? That's interesting because I would love to recite the first line of the Constitution. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know how to drag it even longer. Yeah. You know, we kind of do that too when we freestyle. Well, but also. Yeah. Yeah. Like when rappers, they'd be like, when I grab the microphone, like that's when they're thinking of lines. Yeah. And it's funny. I mean, that's what Trump does, or any politician, every politician, have you considered politics, Alex? Um, yes, I, I did. I think before. No, no, no, no, no, no, but I had the privilege of me. This is before I started with Transparent Arts, I had the privilege of meeting now, Senator Andy Kim. And I applied for a position being on his like road stuff. Um, I met him twice. So once in New Jersey and once in Los Angeles and congratulations to him, but yeah, I did apply to work with him. Ask you a little thing. Was it really a privilege? Because when people say that whole, like I had the privilege of meeting this first time. No, it's never a privilege. I don't think it's ever a privilege. Everyone's fucking language. He's happy. Did you really consider it a privilege to say that? No, it's a politician thing to say. Yeah, so it's, it's half politics, but it was cool hearing him speak about his vision for at the time the state and, you know, in the country. I don't think it's ever been a privilege of me meeting any Andy Kim. It was never been a privilege of any kind. It's never a privilege to meet anyone in your life. To say it. Yeah. No, I, I, I think that applies to everyone on earth. It's never a privilege. Everyone is lying always. I'm telling you. It's a resume thing. It's like when you ask someone. What is going on? It's like, let's say, it's like when you ask someone. Why do you want to work here for fucking money? It's not. And then the answer is supposed to be because I want to, you know, grow at the company and this and this. And it's like, no, it's for the money. And then it's the same as when you meet someone. So you've never felt like it was a privilege to meet someone that you respect. Yeah, sure. It's a. It's like nice. It's cool. I think it's cool. Yeah, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. A privilege is like. A privilege is crazy. Yeah. Privilege is crazy. Yeah. Privilege is like you're dressing it up. What are you guys doing right now? I've got to say, I do love like these crazy, you know, I think one, one refreshing thing that I saw was like this old clip of ODB, an MTV interview and this caller calls in. It's like some of your other rapper friends have been giving back to the community. Like what kind of stuff are you planning to do? And he's like, nothing. And I thought that was like so refreshing, you know what I mean? I just really like just I want more answers like that. He's just being real. Yeah. Yeah. And I think I give a lot of bullshit answers to I'm too media trained. I'm too media trained. I think we all are. We're all very media trained. No, I think I need to be more media trained. I never say media shit. Yeah. On the pod, you're kind of crazy. I never know. But anywhere. Anywhere. I don't know. I'm never. I know. I'm very media trained. Like when I do interviews and stuff, I know the exact stuff they want to hear. Yeah. Well, that's why I don't want to do it because I want it to be different so that they laugh or something. Yeah. Like when I get interviewed about like family stuff, I'll be like, well, I just pull it go to my database. And I'm like, okay, this is the illegal immigrant. My mom went to the Mexican border carrying two Asian kids. I think I used to do that. And then I got bored of my own answers. And so I started to try and say it. I've seen you do that. Weirdest thing. My bad. No, no, no. You can do that and your eyes just fucking glaze on it. Yeah. It's such an honor to be an immigrant in America. Yeah. I'm representing for my people because we need representation in media. Exactly. I just get bored of saying that. So then I'm like, I'll just say, yeah, my family. I hate them. How's your dating life? What the fuck? Wow. What a transition. Yeah, sorry. You guys are professional hosts. You know, it's fine. It's normal. I'm single. You're single. You were dating somebody. Now you're single. Yeah. I'm single now. Okay. I see. Wow, that's the first place I'm saying it. Could I ask you? I've not said this anywhere. Do you think when you're in a relationship, you speak differently on a podcast or do you think it is? No, I hold back. You can hold back. No, I don't hold back. I don't hold back. Do you feel that when I was dating someone, because you've seen both? Not on the pod, but I do because I think this is almost like a performance in a way too, like we kind of know what a pod, how well an entertaining pod is going to be. But I can see you change up like just regularly. That's true. It would homies and stuff. Because I feel like on the pod, I'm like, no, yeah, I'm. You're the same. You'll say whatever. Yeah. Because this is my job. Yeah. But we'll be out in like dinner. Was I different? If you have like a partner or something, like you're a little more toned down. Really? Yeah, I think so. You might not notice. Is that bad? No, I'm just saying. You know, when they show up or or when they're not even there, what if they're not even there? I see you and I'm like, where's that pod energy, huh? Oh, wow. Is, do you feel that way? I will say rec is kind of the same in any scenario. No, but do you feel like I was different when I was in a relationship? Mm. Not really. Oh, I know when rec is different, actually. When? I've seen you in front of like certain people you're a fan of. You're different. You're not the same crazy rec. Fake. Fake. Oh, it's like what? There's two different kinds. So if it's like an artist, like a rapper do it or whatever, you'll be like, yo, I fuck with you like third album, blah, blah, like you'll be mad chill. If it's like a hot girl that he's a fan of, he goes crazy. Like he's loud. He's like sing it, you know, he's like peacocking it, you know what I mean? You know what, actually, I've been doing something bad. I've been doing something that I don't think I should be doing. But if I'm like a big fan of somebody, I pretend like I've never heard of them in my life. I mean, just to be cool, just to be cool. So did you see my movie? You're like, no. No, they're not going to ask me that. It was the biggest hit in America. No. So she's like, what's your name again? He's like Dave Chappelle. No, but I'll literally do some shit like that where like, I'll be like, hi, I'm Andrea. And then they'll be like, well, like recently I met John Mulaney and I was trying to beat two. I was being too cool. I kind of do the same thing. I don't know what the logic there is in my head. Because I grew up watching him and like, I think he's so funny and I didn't say that. What was the conversation? You're like, well, he was just being funny because we were backstage. Can you? Is there any like? Well, I was just like, hi, I'm Andrea. Yeah. Yeah. I'm John. And then, and then he was so nice. Yeah. He was just like, very, very nice. And I just didn't say like normally I would have been like, oh, I'm a big fan of your work. I wish I said that because I would have been nice and sincere because he's very nice and sincere. So that would have checked out, but you're like, oh, yeah, check out your act sometime. No, but I was like, you know what? You know where the restroom is? Well, immediately, I immediately went and like said hi to other people when I should have just kind of like. And you're thinking about it still the whole time, you know, you were moving away. Exactly. And I was like, okay, how can I actually like talk to him again? I think that's a nervousness thing, you know, I mean, because I didn't want him to think I'm just some fan, but I am a fan, but I wanted to earn his respect first. You should do what I do. Start singing loudly and acting crazy. Yeah, I've seen, yeah, you do that, you know, in a good, not clowning on you, I'm just saying it's thing. Was it what in front of Blackpink Rosie? Yeah, that was what I'm just saying. Oh, you did that with Rosie. Rosie. I'm just saying you'll get like, you know, I feel like it's a thing where like, if I see somebody, I kind of want to impress or like get their attention. Like if I because celebrities are going to run into a lot of people all the time, I want them to remember me for a certain thing in a way, you know. Yeah. I think there is a degree of that for sure is like, since you feel like, since you feel a little nervous, you overcompensate just to let them know that you're not. I've done that. You're fine. It's your element. Yeah, I was overcompensating by being like, whatever, just the comic, just the comic. Right. That's exactly. Well, a part of me also in my head, I'm like, he obviously knows that I'm a fan of his. Like that I don't even have to say because he's so good at stand up and he's so, he's so important to every stand up almost. I do a cool thing. Yeah. A thing of variation of that where I'll go to someone, I'm a huge fan of them and thinking about it a whole night to say, what's up? I'll go up to them and be like, yeah, fuck with shit and I'll immediately walk away. Like I'll like, like I can't, I can't linger. It has to be like, I'm on the way to the bathroom already. Here's a quick stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like that kind of vibe. What do you mean? What do you mean? Like, yeah, man. Look at shit. It damn you. It looks like that though. It looks like that. Okay. I start, and then I think about what, what I like, like, what do I appreciate the most when somebody, you know, and it's actually when they talk to me about loving my stuff for a while, you know, I actually appreciate that the most when they acknowledge that they like my stuff. I do that. I do that. Like, if it's someone I really respect, I'll like mention like a deep cut or like, yeah, I'll mention something I noticed about like their popular thing that I know that nobody probably has mentioned to them. That's one of the moves too. Like if you got to get something like, oh, I'm always on point with that shit. That's what I'm saying. That's what I was explaining when you're usually around rappers, you respect all when you say you're around rappers, you respect, you, you mentioned it like an archive, like an old joint, you know, my little fan, my little nerd nerdiness comes out a little bit. Yeah. Like I'll get fans come up to me and be like, yo, I fuck with this, that album from like 2010 and my response is like, oh, you would day one, you know. Yeah. Yeah. But what if they like said to you the thing that you don't want it to be, it's always like that because that's the best response that like you say, say, say like, you like my album from yo, I like, you know, whatever you say, you know, cool. Yeah, that would break that would break my heart if if somebody did that to me. I hate when they give me a love for a thing that wasn't me, you know, do like, I love John Wilding out. I'm like, that's not me. Do you say thank you? No, I just say thanks. Yeah. Cause I want to explain it. Yeah. Yeah. And I'll make sure they know my name and like, yeah, cause it's you, me, I'm thinking of right. Do they, do they mistaken you for like someone in, like that's an Asian woman in comedy? Yeah. All the time. And then I'll be like any one of them, any one of them, that happens to me too. And rap, they're like, that's why they say, while and out, cause they think I'm, yeah. Yeah. You know, it's so funny that's happened to me. And then like, I played along, but I played along too much and then they were like, wait a minute. What the fuck? Yeah. Yeah. And then they're like, wait, like, they're like, whoa, are you Bobby Lee? Why did I say that's, I love Bobby. I love him too. Yeah. We look nothing alike. No, you don't. But I don't look like Tim either. Hey, dude. I don't look like Tim. Oh, I don't know. I look. Tie. Tim. The only reason they say that is cause they know that when they see me that I am an Asian dude that wraps, so when they think of an Asian dude that wraps, they think of Tim on while and out. Yeah. That's why they say while and out. And I said, Bobby, cause of beef. Oh, wait, but why would they think Bobby Lee from beef? Cause he, cause Bobby and Centino. Oh, you know, that's a little confusing. You were Bobby. All right. He's still mad. You can't get out. I don't buy it. Oh, I'm never coming on your podcast. You're not. By the way, speaking of this fanning out thing, Bobby kind of embarrassed me in Vegas recently. Because we're doing the thing. We went backstage to where Adam Levine from like Maroon 5, he was there and we're chilling. And I think just because he just did a show, you know, and he like killed it and it was like, like a big music. I wasn't fanboy. I don't, I'm not even a huge fan like that, but he did put on a great show and I know he's a big star. Yeah. So we're backstage and we're talking and I think something about Korea comes up because he's touring Korea. So I go in about like K-pop and I'm like trying a little too hard, like going in and, but I found a connection. So I'm going in and then Bobby like notices this and he go in front of like Adam Levine, me and like two other people who were just standing there was part about Adam Levine's team. He's like, you'll stop trying so hard. And you were just burst out and laughter and I turned bright to middle red bro. That's so funny though. Yeah. And on the way back. I love that he said that. And then when we leave him, I'm just like, Bobby, what the fuck man, he's just like dying of laughter. It was hilarious. I'm so funny. Yeah, I'm not going to lie though. You are a little try hard, dude. I try hard a little bit. This guy acts like, you know, he's like, yeah, whatever, it's Hollywood. It's LA. And it's like, nah. You buckle so fast. Like what do you mean? Like if I go to like a function or something? Yeah, yeah, you know, it's like, it's like this big person. And then, you know, you're like, yeah, who cares though, you know? And then, but when you're in front of them, you're like kissing the rings every time. I don't kiss them. You're fucking sucky peepy. Shut up. You know. Suck you. Moving up your butthole. No, I wouldn't admit this. I'm not okay. Got the knee pads out. I'm not kissing them. Shh. Okay. Now you're overdoing it. I will say, am I into, am I, because I grew up on Hollywood. Like I love Hollywood. I'm in the streets, in the streets. And the five. No, we're about to end it. We're about to end it. But I just want to say, yes, and because when I was a kid, I looked up to Hollywood stuff and stars and, you know, the Hollywood Boulevard, the cameras, all of it, industry parties. Yeah. So I think a little bit of that comes out when I go to functions and I meet famous people. It comes out. I mean, I did that too. Yeah. So I went to all of these stand-ups, like, I listened to them, I watched them years and years and years. And isn't it kind of amazing? You're in the same room with them? It is amazing. But I'm like, not sucking their dick. Shh. Well, you would, but you're pretending like you're not, you know, you face you. I'm pretending, because I'm trying to be like, I've been here before, you know. In the summer, when he's wearing shorts and he's got bruises on his knees, I'm like, was there an event last night? Yeah. Did you just go to a Hollywood party? Shh. Shut the fuck up. I've seen you guys. Where did I go? I just didn't take you last night. I have seen you. Where did he take you? I have seen you guys. I have seen you guys at events. This is what rec does. We're not even saying industry party. We're at a frozen yogurt spot. It's like, well, that's that girl from OnlyFans. Like, you're a fan out about OnlyFans girl. You see me do stuff? Yeah. What am I done? Who? Where? Like, I've seen you go phrase you over certain stand-ups. It's not even like that big. Who? I've seen you wet yourself. Oh, my God. No, I go crazy like with you guys and I'll like internally, but then to them, I'll be like, hey. Yeah, I think you're pretty chill, but step, but it's like it's not in the comics nature to like fan out on each other, I think. No, no, no. Well, I'm glad we have a podcast to talk about it afterwards, huh? Yeah. No, I don't think I've ever had one. Just hoping that they'll listen to this one day and they'll see and they'll notice the feelings. This is what got your band last time, no, okay, okay. I think Conan O'Brien is the only one that I'll do that for. I would scream. Who would you fan out? He's due to the girl screaming like, "Ah, Conan!" You would you really? Yeah. I love Conan. So you would go and tell him all that? Yeah, I would be like, "Oh, my God." I would lay out the knee pads or whatever. Okay, let me ask you this, okay, and I'm going to call you out. Would you be more responsive if it was a male celebrity that hit on you than a regular dude? I feel like you would. I feel like you would. Wow. I'd sooner God. I feel like you would. Then, wait. That's like everyone, though. A male celebrity or a... That's not everyone. I'm just saying. That's what we're talking about right now that we're giving special attention to... A male celebrity versus a regular dude who looks same, but there's a guy who looks the same. Yeah. Well, yeah. If they look the same, obviously, the celebrity. That's what you're saying is you're a little bit of a cloud chaser. Well, because they have more money. So you didn't get more money? No, that's the other guy has more money. The same money? They have more money. It has way more money. More money? Yes. Way more money. Because the guy with more money. The guy with more money. No, but the status would affect you in a way. No, I don't care about the status because that means their ego is bigger, so it's harder to deal with them in a relationship setting. Do you actually factor that in when you're at a function out and about in an industry party? You're not calculating that? How about... No, I am calculating that. Do you want to date somebody in the show business? I don't care. It's just... Would you prefer... Somebody has money. I never understood the whole not dating anybody in the show business. I don't mind that at all. Dating people in the show business? Yeah. Like, why not? You know why? Why? Because it gets competitive. Yeah. It's hard. I didn't comic for five years. We couldn't be happy for each other ever. I'm never competitive about the fact that... That's you. But by the fact that... Actually, no. Yeah, I think that if you were in a situation where you were dating someone that's kind of on the same level and then you guys were living your life and you had this established kind of like daily thing and that starts to change when she's too busy and she's doing all this and then she's making five times more than you now. That things... Things are getting weird. No, no. Things are getting weird. Jobs, like literally... That's what I mean. That's what I mean. I would only feel competitive if I was dating a dude who goes out for the same roles as me. That would be the only time I feel competitive. The reason I don't feel competitive with women, I date in the same industry is because we're not in the same lane. What if you're dating a "they/them" and they are taking... And they are... Then I would be competitive. Yes. They are taking your job. Yes. In a certain way. There you go. But I'm just saying like I never put myself in a competitive state with somebody who's in a different lane. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Okay. I'm not saying that's healthy either. Like I shouldn't feel that competitive with anyone like you know what I'm saying. But I'm just being real. Like I don't feel competitive with a woman in the same industry as me because we're not going out for the same things. Like I could never get the roles she gets, right? What if... Like she can't get the roles that I can get. If it's a writer's room thing and it's you or her and she is taking her stuff. That's a good question. I'm not about it. No. I still wouldn't. I still wouldn't. No. Because they're getting her for a different perspective too. No, they're like we got one Asian perspective and one of you guys are going to take it. Imagine you're not getting shit. Imagine you're not booking anything and everything's quiet for a long time. Actually it's so funny that I never thought about it in that way. You're not good at advertising and imagining situations, bro. That was a movie on Netflix Fair Play. Did you see that movie? It's about this. Oh, it's about taking jobs from each other? It's about a couple who works at the stock market exchange and the guy thinks he's getting the promotion but his girl who works when gets the promotion and it fucks up their whole relationship. I mean it would. It would. You think so? Yeah. For me? Yeah. Oh really? I have years and he would be happy for me but not really and I would be happy for him and not really. Also thinking about this, weirdly enough it shouldn't matter but there's outside factors too. So say you're supportive and you're like it's all good, right? You're not getting any jobs. She's getting all the jobs, whatever. But then whatever friends and your friends start talking and just making you guys feel bad. Yeah, they're like oh too bad you didn't get that. Yeah, and then like you're at a fucking event and then you have like a gathering, a little party and then everyone's like yo congrats, you're killing it, this is your fifth one in a row. And then they're like oh and then they're like oh yeah, you have any more beers in the fridge? Yeah. There's a constant reminder that's just gonna mess with you. Yeah, it's the constant hit, like the little jabs, you know, that comes from outside even if your partner is very reassuring to you. It's true. It doesn't matter. Even though all my friends are saying they should, yeah, yeah, I never feel shitty about a thing until people around you start reminding you. Yeah, that's true. Oh my God, me too. Yeah, I never, I never even consider it until somebody comes up to me and is like, you'll get the next one. I'm like, you son of a bitch, what do you mean, I wasn't even feeling that way about it until you reminded me. Well, but clearly you were, but clearly you were. That's what I'm saying. It's a thing deep down inside. It didn't take much to get it out. But it was slowly disappearing until you reminded me, you know, I'll say that is the gift of this podcast whenever Thomas is so funny, you got to make a super cut of that, bro. Yeah. Well, hold on. Let me ask you this, because you mentioned something earlier, because I usually find it. It's the opposite way where men might feel more competitive than you. The women are usually more supportive in a relationship of like, if I'm, if your partner got a job, like, but you seem a little more competitive even with your male partner. Oh. About a thing. If you guys were in the same industry. Yeah. I mean. And you've got a big dick. Yeah. You do have big dick energy. I do. And even even, I don't even like going to, when I was dating, even, I don't even like going to events where it's all about that other person. And I'm like, oh, nobody knows who I am. I hate that. Yeah. That's not even getting something. I think that's normal. I think any human could feel that way, especially if you're constantly going to a thing where it's about that one person all the time, you know. Yeah. I can be supportive, but it's like, I gotta have my own thing sometimes. You don't want to be plus one all the time. Not all the time. But I want to. Yeah. I want it to be about me sometimes. Imagine like, you're dating like a super, like, you know, successful doctor. Yeah. I'm ready to be. No, but I'm saying. I'm saying. Yeah. That's the thing. But I'm very supportive. They're stage. You can't even go in there. Yeah. You can't go to the operating room. But I can. I am very supportive in a really. You can't go to their stage. Yeah. Operating room. Okay. Yeah. I can go in there. No, but I. Let me in there. No, let me in the operating room. Let me in there. Yeah. What are you doing in there? You're cheating on me? Is there a girl? Who are you operating on? Why is she showing you her inside? No, but I'm actually very supportive in a relationship. Yeah. Yeah. But I'll have inner. I think you're very supportive in general. That's true. I am. Like you were always supportive. I am always supportive of everybody. That's why I saw like an energy about you that I hadn't seen before. I'm like she's a lot more supportive than usual. Like very nurturing. Yeah. I'm a nurturing partner. You are. Yeah. I do. I think. I'm just ready to get wife. I support you as well. Oh, thank you. I'm very supportive. I support all of my friends and the people I date. Would you say I'm a supportive friend? You are. I think I'm the least supportive of all my friends. Why is that? I am supportive. You're supportive in your way. In my way. I don't do the whole like, you know, I support you buddy. I'm just more like. How do you support? I include them and everything I do. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like I always include all my friends. Your love languages include. But the only reason I do that is because no one else will join me. You know. That's kind of. I can always count on my friends. No, no. I think I am supportive. No, you are. You are supportive. People. This is the thing that people don't know when I'm out and about and I'm in my own meetings and my own rooms with people. I'm always dropping names. I'm dropping your name. I'm dropping Rex name. I'm dropping Rick and Steffy. Yeah. And you know, they're not even asking for suggestions. You do that and you also link people. I connect. Yeah. Yeah. You connect. You connect them all to myself. You do connect. You do connect, which is great. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Because and this has always been a thing of me, my journey early on. It's like, I don't think it's important. Like, don't be so competitive. I think there is a when you when you when I truly believe that someone is talented or a friend, they're far as I'm concerned, it's too hard of a competition to compete with. It's better to like support them and push them forward. Better to collect them. It's better to collect. Yeah. No, that if I'm supporting you, I see you as a threat. Oh. Oh. Oh. No wreck. Wait for the record. I love this pod. I love being here. I love you. I love Stephie Rick. I love you too, man. I'm glad we can. I love every. I love me. I love every. What was I not? I was literally about to say I love every guest. So much. I'm a guest. I'm a good. Andrea has come and saved the show so many times that I needed her for this. I appreciate you because she's not even like a guest anymore. She is like literally part of the crew. I mean, be a part of it. Yeah. Yo, man. I love Andrea. Yeah. She's the best. I'm glad we can. I'm glad we can't fight this from the top of the thing because we had, you know, there was miscommunication. That was scary for me. I was like, oh my God. It wasn't as serious. I'm like, what are you trying to do? We started arguing in front of this girl that I just met. You got that? And she's, I could tell she was mad. Wait, what are we, what are we arguing about? I don't remember. I was like talking about rides and shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That got weird. Yeah. That's funny. We've done a lot of these. You guys should keep having people. Okay. Just you guys on the pod and invite a random unassuming girl and have an argument while she watches. That's a podcast in itself. That just sounds like a regular day in the life of the world. I feel like me and dumb at the point where we couldn't get to the biggest fight. Yeah. It'd be okay. Okay. Yeah. But that's kind of beautiful. That's why it messed me up that you had that little secret, secret beef with me. What that? It wasn't secret anymore. I had to let it out. Now today it wasn't secret. I'm glad we clarified that Andrea, Jin, Rex, Dizzy, thank you so much. And this is also Alex's last night. I actually have one more. I'm going to squeeze one out of him. Squeeze one more out of him. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's crazy. Diddy. And do the next secret out of his heart if I would dumb y'all peace. (laughing)
