Starting point is 00:00:00 And I love to do that. And usually that's like, that's a good thing. And usually the men that I'm with, they don't really even want the dick sucks. Same. Every time we've had any queer gay, they clock your shit. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the Fear Ann podcast. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Broadway superstar.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yes. Stand-up comedian, actress, two-time, two-time winner. of Rupal's Dragways. Among many other things, the list goes on and on. Jinks Monsoon, everybody. It's Monsoon season, baby. Let's go. Thank you for having me.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Jinks, it is such a pleasure to have you. It's a pleasure to be here, even though it's 10 a.m. right now. I'm an early riser, but to leave my house before, you know, midday. This is an archaic. Typically, we film at nighttime sometimes. Yeah. Really? Yeah, it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I'm a night owl. He's an early riser. Are you an early riser? I'm a night owl. I'm whenever the coffee. I have to re-I have to rewire. Like when I'm on tour, I have to get myself up all night. And then right now I have my cats that don't let me sleep in.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Does anyone else have pets? I have two cats. And I know you travel with two of them. They're lunatics about the food in the morning. Do you open feed them at all? I don't feed them. I've given up. Oh, you don't?
Starting point is 00:01:54 In feeding, like, I just let, I don't know this is bad. I'm going to get attacked by cat owners, but I just fill the bowl up and let them regulate themselves. I'm just so sick of the vet giving my girl's body complex issues. Wait, how fat are your cats? Oh, my cats are starting to game. They're not regulating well. No, see? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:13 You can't trust cats. They're smarter than us. Yeah, no. I've been talking, I always talk about we've got a domestic long hair gray one named bumper and he is putting on weight and I do comment on it and I've commented on it several times
Starting point is 00:02:27 but my boyfriend gets pissed at me he's like quit calling him, quit body shaming I get so upset when the vet says Myrtle's a little pear shape. I'm like She's healthy is what she is She's loved.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I don't understand that as a dog owner because, like, I'll be, I have a dog. It's actually her birthday. As a dog owner, I have a dog. But I was going to say, I have, I have one dog. She just turned three today. It's her birthday today. Happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Happy birthday, Kaya. But also, I take care of my brother's dog from time to time as well. And, like, you just kind of have to, like, you have to feed them. Like, I don't understand. You just, you can't, like, let it. Well, we're not saying we're going to starve our animals. No, no, I mean, like, you have to put their bowl down. No, he's right.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I was choking. He said stand-up comedian in my intro, so I felt comfortable. You put the bowl down, and you're like, now is your time to eat. And then you put another bowl down for the other dog, and you're like, now is your time to eat. And then it has to be like a regular. Yeah. Otherwise, they will eat all of the food. But the cats don't.
Starting point is 00:03:34 No, my dog is the same way. It's free range. What? Pasture raised. Yeah. It's incredible. I've given, I don't know. He gets one wet food a day.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Same with the cats. They get one wet food. But otherwise, just dry foods out. crazy to me. As an apertief. Farley gets his like healthy food, which he hates, and then he gets like little sweeteners. He'll plow through those. But throughout the day, he'll hit his bowl and look at me and be like, come on, asshole, let's go. That's crazy. My cats won't allow the bowl to be empty. My cats, they will eat what's there. We've got them regimented right now. They get the same amount every day. They have to parcel it out. They know how much. But when, what they will do is there will be
Starting point is 00:04:15 three little kibble bits left and they'll like get it out individually, walk up to me and crunch them and then walk back to the bowl and get one more and walk up to me like, oh, I'm running out these the last couple ones. I love that. Cats are so, they've got so much personality. The divine being. Sorry. Dogs two.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I think the relationship between a human and an animal is, well, you know, I think, I think the relationship between a human and an animal is one of the easiest ways everyone can practice witchcraft. It's like there's something so magical and indescribable about the fact that I know which, what all of her meows mean. You know, the different meows and she can meow from a different room and I know she wants out, you know, or she's tattling on her sister or something like that. Yes. No.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Now, Jinks, you came from a witchy home. I did. And I only have leaned in as an adult. Like I was raised by witches who didn't really self-identify as witches. When you look back on the way they raised me, I'm like, those were witches. My mom, my grandma and my aunts. They had a cauldron in the living room. Well, it was like they all, my mom and my grandma referred to themselves as Catholics.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Very loosely Catholic. Like, I didn't grow up with a lot of, just kind of the hits. just the Catholic kids, you know, everything. Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, don't do this. You're a sinner. And, but then my mom and my grandma and my aunt were so superstitious. And then when I was a teenager, my mom would warn me not to play Dungeons and Dragons because I was going to fall in with the wrong crowd.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Then we'd stop at the cemetery so she could get grave dust scrapings off a happy grave so that she could win the lottery, I think, was the goal with that one. You need grave dust if you want to win the powerball. There were all kinds of unhexing things. No, we win no lotteries. I think you don't get what you ask for, you get what you need. And that's very frustrating to a lot of people. They come into witchcraft and they're like,
Starting point is 00:06:35 I just have to say what I want and then I get it. And it's like, no, you say what you want. You work really hard, and then nature gives you what you actually need, and then you go, thank you. So it's up to nature to decide what you get. Well, nature's kind of really in control of everything. I mean, we're all just dancing around until she kills us. Right? I mean, that's what we've been fucking around for a while, and now we're in the find out period.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Oh, yeah. No, yeah, for sure. as Earth in general. What about dark magic? Were there any like enemies? My mom was very, very anti-dark magic. And she normally was doing things to un-purse herself because she was convinced there were. That's how I feel.
Starting point is 00:07:26 What are some uncurces? Well, burning white candles. Oh, okay. Salt baths. Oh. You burn a white candle with a needle in the wick. Wait, I do that anyway. I didn't realize.
Starting point is 00:07:39 What? I guess that's something to hire the candle burn better, but it's also a witchcraft. No, no, not the, not the like the, the, I do salt, I do salt bath. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Motherfucker's soaking his feet thinking he's doing. No, no, I do a salt better than I burn candles. I burn white candles. But do you have to put a needle through it?
Starting point is 00:08:01 No, you don't have to. Here's the thing is like. Is that why the hexes haven't been working? Maybe. Witchcraft's all about intention. So you already do the things, like knocking on wood. Yes, yes, I do knock on wood. So that starts as a, that starts as a, like, full mythy thing.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah. But it also has some kind of practical application, which I was told when you're, like, statically charged and you keep shocking people, you knock on wood to get the currency out or something. So it's like something that when they couldn't understand why you were shocking people, it's like demons. Yeah. So knock on wood. And then, and now we still do it, but we don't remember the demons part. Oh, interesting. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah, because I do knock on wood quite a bit. That was like one of the things. I have to carry a piece of wood in my purse. Oh, that is brilliant. Emergency wood? My friend's assistant. That's brilliant. He got frustrated with me
Starting point is 00:09:09 Like having to get out of the car And run a knock on a tree Because something wrong was said, you know How many times did you stop a car to knock on a tree? That might have happened once When does it become OCD? That's the thing is I am a pragmatic person
Starting point is 00:09:30 I like to know the logical reasons behind everything Like you know where knock on wood came from And then I make the more fun choice. Okay. So it's like, yeah, I know I, I already know about a lot of my own mental. Picadillos. Yeah. The funest parts of me.
Starting point is 00:09:50 But I just kind of choose to, I acknowledge the logical aspect. I take the meds. And then I lean into. This is coming from someone with OCD. Everything. I'm like, that has a meaning. That has a meaning. I could just be a witch. It's full spectrum coverage. You got to cover all your bases. You get
Starting point is 00:10:10 medicated and you get the witch's up. That's what my therapist says. Yeah. Do you just like covering covering every angle? This is a genuine question because I've I've faced this too because I her and I have very similar. Up until now it was all disingenuous question. No, no. Super superstitious when you're when knocking on wood I've always been caught up like is that real wood? Yes. Oh my God, I do that too. I do that too. I'm like is that real wood? Does this even work? Is it plastic? and we would fight over it and then we would knock on paper
Starting point is 00:10:39 as a fail safe but then there's my aunt who says it has to be three and then if you go past three then you have to go to the next multiple of three and she would freak out if you would just knock two times or knock
Starting point is 00:10:55 four times and then sometimes other people in the family keep going, we'll fix the camera other people in the family would That's crazy. Sorry. No, don't be sorry. I was like, you said keep going and I thought it was for me.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Three notes. No, it is for you. It was for you to keep going. No, no, you're good. You're good. You're good. Anyway, it was points of contention in my family. I was raised with that.
Starting point is 00:11:25 You ordered a nice bagel for yourself with cream cheese? I'm so sorry, Jinks. I was overwhelmed. He told me to order a bunch of coffee, and I just started ordering it, Will. and I just ordered a bagel. I ordered a vanilla latte. You got enough to share with the class? I panicked.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I don't know. Somebody takes something. He got you this. You've got your drink already, but whatever you want. And Jinks, I even have a bagel if you want to share one with me. I'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:11:52 But it's available to you. We'll leave it here somewhere. I got one. I got a superstition thing. This is a Turkish. I mean, we believe in like gins and stuff. Everything I've heard from Turkish superstition from you
Starting point is 00:12:03 has been kind of awesome. and very bizarre. Yeah. So one of the things that we do in my household, like, well, there's two things. One, bread is like, holy. My dad was like, if a bread falls on the ground, like, you have to pick it up. You have to like, you have to respect it. You have to eat it.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Oh, wait, what? Like, yeah, you can't just like, like, you can't just drop bread. You have to eat ground bread? Yeah, or you just have to, like, treat it with respect after it. How much ground bread have you eaten in your life? But that's number one. I don't really care. That's why I do five second rule.
Starting point is 00:12:32 It doesn't bother me at all. I'm just, I'm slamming things. off the ground. It doesn't matter. Sure. The other one that I think is really unique that I don't know why other people don't encounter or incorporate into their regimen is knives and scissors and sharp objects. Wait, what? When we, when in Turkey, or at least in my household, when you, when you hand, no, no, that's, that's a classic. Yeah. When you hand a sharp object to another person, normally some people will, will offer, will, you know, hold the sharp part and, and give the handle to the other person in order not to like accidentally stab them. That makes sense. In Turkey, we don't actually exchange sharp objects directly hand to hand. We actually put it on the ground, like, or put it on a
Starting point is 00:13:16 table, and then you spit on it. And then you spit on it. I'm not even joking. I'm not even joking. Well, the bread thing is totally said. Mono is rampant in Turkey. If this was, if this was a knife and I wanted to hand it to you, I would, you're like, oh, give me the knife. I go, no, no, no, don't touch it. Oh, sorry. And then you hook to it. Yeah, okay. And then you pick it up. So does some people really lathering up?
Starting point is 00:13:41 No, it's not a real spit. You're not spinning. You just go, poof. Man. But the reason for it is apparently if you give a sharp object to another person, you fight. Oh. It's in order to avoid, like, I guess, bad juju or in order to avoid a duel in the future. I don't know what the historical significance is.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Spitting is an unhex. It's like a pursing and uncurcing. thing, kind of like the evil eye. Yeah. And so like when someone, it's all about intention. Like sometimes, uh, uh, witches spit over your shoulder when you feel like someone's following you. And if you feel like an astral presence is following you.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Oh my gosh. I have a question for you. Wait, that's brilliant. Okay. Because you said astral. You know about astral projecting? Yeah. I've been, I've been going on some K-holes.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Wait. I think that's like it's it's actually sometimes I find myself with a few hours to kill and I'm like we're going to try again I don't know I I watch the videos I listen to the binaural beats that are supposed to help and I swear I've been close but then I'm also like I'm also like what am I doing I had a I'm taking really fun naps he would stalk me through astral projection No. Really? And I never knew if I believed him or not. Right? I couldn't tell.
Starting point is 00:15:07 He told you. He was like, I'm stalking you through astro-re-projection. No, so he would always brag about astral-projecting like all the time. And then we broke up. Okay. I know this seems crazy. Girl. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:18 You are in a safe space. You are in a brave space. I want to hear about it. Thank you. Okay. Sometimes I open up more than I should. It's a problem I have. No, this is great.
Starting point is 00:15:29 So we break up, right? Well, and throughout our relationship, like, I got him like a Christmas present and he, like, knew what it was. And I was like, how does he know? You know, and he was an astro projection. I feel like there was probably a different way he could find out without astro projection. I don't think so. And so then we break up and I'm like sad and I like, right in my journal, right? Right in my journal.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm in my room. My door is locked. I'm asleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel like someone's watching me. And I'm like, I get really like weird feeling and I just kind of like shake it off. I go back to sleep. The next morning, he texts me an expert, an excerpt from my journal. Is that weird?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Thank you. That's nuts. What if he was talking you, IRL? Yeah, I feel like you were just breaking into your school. Okay, I was going to say, even the witch doesn't believe. No, no, I, I'm like, okay, so I've never spoken with anyone who truly earnestly has convinced me that they've astral. projected. But I'm also like, again,
Starting point is 00:16:35 sometimes there's logical explanations for things and then our brain chooses the more exciting thing. I don't know. I wasn't there. I don't have an ex-contextual clues, enough contextual clues. But what I can say is the next time you feel I'm creeping, that's what burning sage or other,
Starting point is 00:16:56 like when you are cleansing an air, that's to get rid of those kind of references. You can close the astral plane. Salt at the entrances of your house. And I have heard that if you do your shoes, toe to heel, that it confuses ghosts. At the end of your bed,
Starting point is 00:17:14 have you ever heard that? Harry's Plus, advanced pivoting system. I love that. I love this product. I've told you before. I shave my face with it. I shave my wabos with it.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Whoa, really? I shaved my legs with it. Really? And my toes. I also shave my toes. Yeah. People didn't know that about me. Did you get hair on the roof of your foot?
Starting point is 00:17:36 No. Not Hobbit hair, just toe hair. A lot of it. Like eyebrows on my toes. All of them. They could connect if I really wanted them to. But thank God for Harry's, they don't. Well, I've never seen it, but it's probably because you've been using Harry's razor.

I think I've heard someone.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Would you recommend just... I go on ghost tours sometimes. Would you recommend just doing these things just as a precautionary measure? Because I'm genuinely, I'm just a little superstitious. I don't know what's coming at me. It's one of those things where the more you choose to engage in it, the more you'll notice it. You know what I mean? Like the more you're like keeping your mind open for things, the more you're like, this squirrel's talking to me.
Starting point is 00:18:51 You're talking to you're talking to hypochondriacs. I do these things, and I don't know, it's not based on any like actual like thing. that people do, but I'll make up things in my head. Like, I'll be, I'm not dead serious. It may be OCD, I don't know, but I'll be like, washing my hands and I'll be like, if I don't do this for this period of time, something bad is
Starting point is 00:19:11 going to be. Yeah, you're describing OCD. Austin, you're describing OCD. Yeah, your bedtime routine is very OCD. I'm diagnosed. Well, I mean, I do have a bedtime routine, but I feel like it's good for me. Well, I think, I think
Starting point is 00:19:26 what we're learning. No, no, wait, wait, way, way, way, I think what we're collectively learning, especially people in, I'm guessing, our age. We're all like, what, 30-something? Yeah, yeah. So I think we're learning that there's a lot of cultural impacts that cause waves, you know, like higher amounts of the same neurodivergence because of similarities to how we were raised and how we were conditioned and the technology that's available.
Starting point is 00:19:57 So you think Furbies gave everyone autism? I think I think I don't know the pipeline between like the power rangers and why we're also obsessed with doing things a certain way. I like to think because I was a latchkey kid, that's a lot of part, a lot of it, you know, like taking care of yourself. But then also like spending time alone, I'd be like, well, mom said as long as I never answered. answer the phone while she's gone. You know, don't tell people, you know, like, you get in kind of, I don't know. I don't know what the pipeline is, but I do know. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:20:36 We're probably all somewhere on the spectrum with the things that we all share. Like, enough of us all have enough of the same things that I think it's time to start accepting that we collectively share these symptoms, whether we've been diagnosed with them or not. And I think sometimes we need to look at the symptoms and worry about assessing the symptoms before we worry about a diagnosis, because sometimes you've got to get the symptoms in control to properly assess. I like that. Like, my narcolepsy was misdiagnosed for a while. Really?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Because, like, narcolepsy is not a common thing, but depression is, you know? So, and then I was an alcoholic for years, and that masked a lot of the things that, like, I couldn't realize because I was always either drunk or hungover or some kind of affected. So it's like finding out in my 30s, oh, you have lots of ADHD in there, you know. And I haven't been diagnosed with any OCD, but I did have a therapist say, once after working with me for months, I was like, these kind of feel like maybe they could be OCD tendencies. And the therapist said, wait, have we been operating this whole time under the assumption you don't have a lot? And I was like, what? And he was like, I just thought that was what we were working on. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And I was like, no. So you know what I mean? And I know we shouldn't try to self-diagnose. We shouldn't start going around trying to play the like poor me game, you know, because here's the big thing that I think a lot of people forget about identifying those things is once you identify them, then it's your choice how to, you still got to find. a way to interact with other people. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:22:45 Like I don't think identifying your neurodivergence is now a free pass to behave however you want. I think I've always compared my neurodivergence to my alcoholism because they all kind of stem from similar roots. And once I realized I was an alcoholic, I was like, okay, this is bleeding out and affecting other people. And I can either choose to divert. that energy or I can choose to lose my friends.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You know what I mean? But we all get to decide our own boundaries. And so while you're determining your boundaries, you have to recognize that other people are also doing the same. Right. And they have every right to do that. Yeah. This is a crazy segue, but mentioning alcoholism,
Starting point is 00:23:35 I know you've played Judy. I'm about to play Judy. Oh, but I did play her on the snatch game. Off West End, right? Yes. But like, do you see, is it easier to, because she's, she had the same problems in our life, right? And so. I think, I think, well, I'll say playing Mary Todd, who in O'Maryie was written as an alcoholic.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And I think when someone knows why they drink and can effectively communicate, and I feel like, I feel like we have enough clues as to what caused a lot of Judy Garland substance abuse issues. Yeah. And so with those clues and what she shared publicly and what you can kind of piece together, you're like, oh, like it's kind of the same thing our society did to Britney Spears. Yeah. Right. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:24:34 No, it's cyclical. Yeah. who had to grow up in the public eye as not other people, other women who had to grow up in the public eye and had men just constantly telling them how to behave and then how to pull off behaving that way. It's insane. How do you, like, how do you immerse yourself in a role like that?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Is it like a question? Like, that's such a dream role. I guess I like to first always find what I have in common with my characters. And so I don't drink anymore, but I remember why I drank. Yeah. And I remember what it helped with. And, you know, I like to start where we're the same. And then that kind of lives in the core of it while I find all the ways that were different.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Right. That's great. I love it. Sorry, I'm such a Judy nerd. Like, the first time I ever came to L.A., that was like, I was like, I have to go to her star. I have to go to her house. Can you tell chat which Judy you're talking about for the Philistines?
Starting point is 00:25:38 Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Judy Garland, everybody. Yeah, for chat. She, uh,
Starting point is 00:25:43 oh, sorry. Oh, yes. I was like, which, she played Dorothy. Your favorite Judy Garland moments?
Starting point is 00:25:51 All of them. I'm like such a blur. I'm like Donald Trump. I'm like, all the passages. It's hard to rank them. He did. He did.
Starting point is 00:26:00 He played Dorothy. Oh, he did. Do you want to, you could rank his performance, maybe. Oh, my God, we could do that. If you could pull up, we flip.
Starting point is 00:26:08 He did a lovely job. It was an off-Broadway type thing. It was pretty far off. Well, Marsh is pulling that up. I wanted to address something with you in the room, and I've been waiting for weeks to meet in the presence. Are you looking at this area of the table? Is it a good?
Starting point is 00:26:29 He likes to send these things out. Obviously, your jinx fucking monsoon, But on top of that, you share something in common with me. Oh, my goodness. We are you, if you say something mean. Don't, no. We are both from Portland, Oregon. God.
Starting point is 00:26:48 We are. Yes, we are both from Portland, Oregon. And I have been trying to get them to visit me. And they refuse to come to our city. She has a past. They have refused to come see me. in Portland, Oregon. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I know that's distracting. Real quick, we need to address this. Well, is it someone... Do you go other places? Yes, they do. Many other places. I said I would come to Portland, and I am working on setting up
Starting point is 00:27:17 a show date in Portland. Yes. I'm looking at your pearl necklace and wondering how you've never gone to... Yes. Yes. And wouldn't Hassan fit in so well in Portland? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I mean, we've got something for everybody. I go to places where... where people disagree with me. I see, I see Portland as like, we barely can to try cities right out. Yes, we do. We have many,
Starting point is 00:27:44 listen, I'm not kidding. You get a little bit of everything in Portland. You do? Because for some reason, even though Portland is this liberal, progressive mecca in the Pacific Northwest and I always think it's like one of the most progressive, at least like in its,
Starting point is 00:28:04 principles, not always in its practice, because the Pacific Northwest can stand to be more diverse in background. Once you get outside of the city limits, it gets a little... I just want to acknowledge that, you know, I'm not sitting here, patting my own back here, for coming, for being born somewhere. But the point is, Austin is all the time. I'm very progressive place, and then you just go 40 minutes outside of Portland, and it's like you're in the deep south all over.
Starting point is 00:28:34 a sudden. Oh yeah, Confederate flags. And like people have Southern accents. Yes. Like, and you're like, how? How did they get Southern accents? My friend's dad is from, yeah. Austin's never sold it like that.
Starting point is 00:28:45 And he has a Southern accent. I'm like, you're from Grants Pass. What the fuck? I know. You know? And I had drag queens that like I grew up with who were like, girl, you matter, get caught. Dumb Dib Dib Dib Dib Dach.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And I'm like, where are you from? And she's like, Grasham. Which is a. It's a airport. If you went, you would know. If you would know. If you would know. I'm very familiar.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Portland is like a island surrounded by White supremac's enclave. Oh my God. So here's what you need to go to Portland for. So much weed. Yes, great weed. We have more. I know nowadays it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:29:26 We also have full nude strip clubs. That's right. More per capita in anywhere in the world. Okay. We don't have that in L.A. Because of the liquor license law, we do not have that in L.A. And we have strip clubs full dong. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Wow. Oh, yeah. Dong out. Stag. Stag and Silverado. In Silverado. I'd love to go to. Nobody would. I'm always thinking, where can I see more dong?
Starting point is 00:29:53 Well, you know, it's Portland and Toronto. That's right. You know what? I've been telling them they need to look at a little bit more dong every once in a while. They're taking themselves too seriously. Yes. And what else about Portland? We have one of the longest-running drag shows in America,
Starting point is 00:30:10 like the second longest-running drag cabaret. Darcells. Yes, darsales, yes. Rest in peace. Yes. And you know what it is, is that it's just like there's nothing too much to do, but also everything you get in any other city, but no pressure to do it all that.
Starting point is 00:30:31 time. And if you go visit other cities, it's just like, what's your excuse? If you've been to Vegas and you've never been to Portland, then that just shows you're not an ally. Okay, to be fair, I hate Las Vegas. I hate most cities. That tracks. So, you know, I couldn't sit here.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I'm so proud. Before we move off completely, can we watch this riveting performance of Darby? Is this somewhere over the right? Oh, that's me. I played the dog. I was the dog. Don't know. Yeah, that's me. Okay. Yeah, just a small clip. Just a little taste.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I was the slutty lion. They don't understand you at home. They don't appreciate you. That was miserable. What was inside of me? Oh, perfect, perfect. Yeah. So what was inside of you? I have no idea. I'm still trying to find out.
Starting point is 00:31:42 It was remarkable listening to him sing the songs. Yeah. Because he had never heard them before. He's never watched Wither of Oz. I've watched bits and pieces. Like, I kind of know the vibes. Is it that you haven't seen a lot of movies or just, like, or just this one? I, I've seen, I've seen a decent amount of movies.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I watch movies. I just had, I mean, I, I remember watching it when I was younger, like, a little bit, but I just don't, I don't have really good recall. I haven't seen. many films, but because there's such a big part of culture in America, in the U.S., that I feel inundated by them. And I actually had my friend test me once. I knew basically the plot of every Star Wars movie, even though I've never seen any of it.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Really? And he was sitting there stunned because he'd say the Star Wars movie, and I'd sit there. And, of course, I'd be kind of like, you know, paraphrasing and stuff. half-assing it, but I was more or less right with five out of the six films. Just based on the title. No, just based on being my age in America, the U.S., it's like I never chose it, but family guy, the Simpsons, everyone parodies it. So it's like I don't even ask to know about Star Wars or Indiana Jones, but I know everything
Starting point is 00:33:12 about them. Well, they're also on like the same rails for the most part, right? I mean, it's always the same like heroes journey. Yeah. The way I feel about it is there are these big signifiers of straight culture that have been inundated upon me. And then, right? And then when I say a queer celebrity's name and a straight person says, oh, I don't know who that is. And I'm like, oh, well, they're a blah, blah, blah, drag queen or queer celebrity.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And they go, well, why would I know who that is? Yeah. Because I fucking know who. Obi-Wan Kenobi is. Obi-Wan Kenobi. I know who, what's the football? Joe Nameth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Like, I have no reason of knowing that name. But I do. You know, Mickey Mantle. Right? You know some names. Know some names. Learn some names. Okay, so I'm realizing that I'm an equal opportunity hater because I have no idea who those names are that you reference.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Wonderful. Yeah. It's not just like queer culture that escapes me. I never said you in particular. Yeah, he did. He did it turn you all that for some reason. He's a foe. He's a foe of our community.
Starting point is 00:34:22 He's an LGBT. True. I've got this idea for straight guys who want to prove their allies. Hey guys, I was wondering. Okay, start to start over. Sorry. Keep that end. Hey guys, I was wondering, do these,
Starting point is 00:34:41 Do these look normal to you? No, you've got to see a doctor. How could I find one? Put that down for a moment, please. Why? Cudy! You need to go see a doctor, and I understand how difficult that might be
Starting point is 00:35:01 in the United States of America identifying a doctor because a lot of them could be out of network, but you got to use Zock Doc because Zoc Doc can help you avoid all of these troubles and problems. Really? I just really...
Starting point is 00:35:13 They're not that... Cudy! Oh my God! That's right! Finish Edwell! We got to keep going! Cudy, you really got to get that taken care of. And you know what, QD, in the United States of America, you deserve a good doctor.
Starting point is 00:35:29 One that you can trust, right? Which is why I go and use Zock Doc. So stop putting out those doctor's appointments, Qty. And go to Zock.com slash fear and find an instantly book a top rated doctor today. That's ZOC, doc.com slash fear. This message is sponsored by Zoc. Duh. Okay?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Oh, I do the opposite. I'll prove on my enemy, but go on. He's an enemy. I've just been thinking of a straight guy wants to prove that he's an ally to the queer community. Yeah. It just fucked me. So it does that pretty much. I agree.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I agree. Go for it. Do you guys really? Do you think I have something? I absolutely think you do. And I actually think you'll find a lot of success. If I were to start a service, is that just high-end prostitutes? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Honestly, I think a lot of if I say, well, we wouldn't put fucking in the contract, but it's never really implied. But you know what I mean? Dinner with wine? Mutual consent. It's like the gay version of being invited
Starting point is 00:36:29 to the cookout. Yeah. Yeah. I think you should. Is this horrible? No. Are you kidding me? We are all about that.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I absolutely think that. Because, you know, look how fast he jumped on this. It also works the other way around like, prove you don't like it. You know? I think we've learned that it's hard. There's enough gay for pay men out there disproving.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Oh, God. Tell me about it. Oh, my God. Tell me about it. I met one the other day. Is it, you met one? I met one. And I just looked at him and I said, what in the hell are you doing?
Starting point is 00:37:12 Would you be? Could you do straight for pay? Could I do straight for pay? Oh, yeah, I could do it? Gun to my head, I could get hard. He does it every day. Look at me. How much more gay can I be for this man?
Starting point is 00:37:23 No, no, no, no. Right now, right now you're looking gay as hell. Because, like, people can't see. I was gay. I did when you said, brought up your boyfriend. Oh, sure. I'm observing. Did you not know when I walked in?
Starting point is 00:37:36 I, you know, there's three guys, one in three. Yeah, that's true. You know, 33%. But, like, straight up out of us three, like who would you perceive as gay? Listen, I try not to presume anyone's sexuality these days. But if you were to...
Starting point is 00:37:53 I presume everyone wants to do me and then I accept rejection as he's either not into chicks or not into dick. There's always a reason because I'm not hot. That's a good...
Starting point is 00:38:11 It's a good way to live life. I love that. No, you know, I try to... You know, I don't... You got a crop tank top and you're showing your Calvin Klein's underwear right now. Like, they can't see it, but this is a very gay fit. You are gaslighting your audience at home, not watching that. No, no, I mean, it's not fully crop, but it's like a, it's like a low, it's a higher cut.
Starting point is 00:38:33 He really was looking a little deeper than I thought. No, as soon as you walked in, I was like, this is the gayest outfit you're worn. Out of the three of you, yes, he has the most gay sensibility. But see, this is the thing. It's like the pearl necklace At a different time Might have said To people like
Starting point is 00:38:53 But here's where we are You know And it's funny because it's like I feel like it started in porn Some guys were wearing pearl necklaces And then all of a sudden everyone's wearing pearl necklaces And painting their nails And it's not gay all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:39:12 No it's so true because like it is it's just a construct it's just how we've been But what gets so frustrating is watching and this is where the words you know like appropriation gay baiting and all this shit
Starting point is 00:39:28 you know like this is why people get frustrated is the same shit that we were you know not allowed to do as kids because it would give us away and we were so frightful of because of getting beat up or threatened or, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And then now, because things have shifted, it's like the same people who would have bullied you are now wearing nail polish. Sure. Yeah. And I'm not implying that you would have bullied me. I'm just saying in general, these are where the frustrations come from. But it's also like, but that the fact that he's wearing a pearl necklace is a good thing. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:11 You know, so it's a double-sided thing. That's interesting. I think the interesting thing is even being a straight male, I think I, like, it was interesting being like a flamboyant kid where I, I, I definitely am not in the homosexual vein. I'm more in like the professional wrestler vein. Yeah. Where like I'm just a peacock.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Right. And I think regardless of your actual sexuality, I think you endure a lot of the same hatred where like growing up, I was called the F slur constantly. You know what you're doing? I was not. And I'm, that's so interesting to me. Yeah, dude. I was raised straight.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Right, right, right. You know, he, I mean, if you watch this man, watch Vikings football, I promise you, you will be like, there's no way he has ever had a penis in his mouth. Like, it's just, which by the way, obviously being gay contains. But hasn't he been. He did rival retort you that he can't judge him. It taught me a lot. It contains multitudes.
Starting point is 00:41:09 That's what I'm saying. But like, he is way straight. than I am in many respects. Well, all right. In many aspects of his life. If you could have a heated rivalry, someone that you kind of hate, a peer who's like,
Starting point is 00:41:22 but you find very attractive, who would your heated rival be? Oh. Oh, there's... You're Candice Owens, I would say, right? There's too many. Jesus Christ. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:41:33 That's in frame one. That was... Mine is weird, but I've been feeling like it would be... I've been trying to manifest Eric Andre and I working together because I just feel like
Starting point is 00:41:45 or Jason Manzukas you know like those are some heated rivalries because it's just like there's these men whose energy I feel like I need to match that energy right because that would be fun but that's more like as an as an actress I want to
Starting point is 00:42:03 I want to get in the ring with some of the wrestling but um would you ever come to WrestleMania? I'm going to WrestleMania this year. I was this close to going to WrestleMania. Come, you would love it. Because we wanted to go somewhere where there was very
Starting point is 00:42:20 little chance of me being recognized by queer people. It's drag for straight people. 100%. That's what professional wrestling is. Pull this up real quick. Pull up Dalton Castle. I want you to... I didn't think I this is like the height of kind of straight drag as
Starting point is 00:42:36 Dalton Castle. I was thought the Undertaker was very draggy. It's very drag. Even though Even though his whole character. Yeah, but his whole character is like, oh, you're a spooky eternal being. This is Dalton Castle. You're telling me this isn't drag.
Starting point is 00:42:55 The peacock feathers, oh, I thought you were going to bring up liberace. Look at this. It's fabulous. Oh, my God. That's so funny. And this is all, and this is what, like, so you were talking about him being straighter than you.
Starting point is 00:43:12 in comparison in regards to things. And then we look at this, and we know WrestleMania is like, hands down considered a straight affair, and yet it is drag. And yet we have deemed that that's manly drag, even though it's still sequins and hip-capped. And so the whole idea of someone behaving straight or behaving gay is the thing that we've got to break down
Starting point is 00:43:41 because, and that's why I brought up heated rivalry, because it's not so much about who likes sports and who likes sewing. It's just about who likes sucking dick. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it's true. A great philosopher once said.
Starting point is 00:44:03 And even if you're gay, maybe it may not be your favorite things do. Right. You know, I mean, I don't know. I, I, I, look at it. He's true. He's validation. I have a very, I have a sterling reputation. Really? He has a very,
Starting point is 00:44:19 yeah, he has a reputation as well. Yes, thank you. He is a, he climbs to be, unfortunately. They call me, thank you. But he's a selfish top. Okay, they, Jinks, they have, they have, they have plagued me with this association of being a selfish top. Oh, you hate it.
Starting point is 00:44:35 For so long. And I've been trying to break through to, to the people. He's an ass eater. Give him that. Yes, that's what I like to do. He's my favorite thing on earth. And I love to do that. And usually that's like, that's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And usually the men that I'm with, they don't really even want their dick sucked. Same. Every time we've had a queer guest, they clock your shit. Every time. Now, now, I want to be honest with you. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Should they want to do so? Should they want me to do so? I would gladly do so. But here's the thing. I don't enjoy, but I'll do it. Not enthusiastically. The thing is if you don't enjoy it, and then you are with people who, I'm guessing,
Starting point is 00:45:22 enjoy having sex with you, and then you're like, but they don't even want their dick sucked. It's like, when you did suck their dick, was it like, uh-huh? No. You know, like, you know, like. I put my whole throat into it.
Starting point is 00:45:38 All of it. Everything that I could do. I mean, I do have a gag reflex. Unfortunately, is, what? The whole time. I didn't even be vulnerable here. You know what? I didn't even consider that.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yeah, you're too picky. You're like you're too, you're... This is my favorite thing about... You can't get nasty with it. ...groups, though, is I had a friend in college. He was a straight male friend. I called him my fagg stagg. And he was like the one...
Starting point is 00:46:09 I'm being hyperbolic, but one straight male friend that I made who never ended up wanting to hook up. And it's like a lot of my straight male friends are curious and whatever friends felt safe experimenting with me probably because they could see my very naturally feminine tendencies and felt kind of, I always said, I'm like a semi-permeable membrane between straight and gay, you know. So I feel like this is my favorite aspect
Starting point is 00:46:43 of where we're at communally is straight men saying he is an ass eater I'll give him that I will give him that my pro eats ass that dude but he won't suck
Starting point is 00:46:58 did and what's that all about and I feel really good about your friends here no I do like it you know what and they push me
Starting point is 00:47:09 to be a better cocksucker you know what God would We've plowed on him for trying Booty boot camp Oh, he's trying to get me to bottom is what he's trying to get me to do That's the type of friendship we have, really.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I just think If we're not going to have your horizons. If we're not going to put your heart into it, just focus on the things that you do like, but this is where non-monogamy comes in great. You don't like suck and dick. Person you're with needs to occasionally get, but I always think you, for the right people,
Starting point is 00:47:37 you've got to be willing to, you know, even if it's not your favorite thing, you know, once a year, on their birthday. I do it. No, no, don't believe me. The straight people will at least do once a year on their birthday, so we have to show up that much. I do show up. I will do. If there's something that needs to be done, I will do it. You know what I mean? I'll be there. He's a real season. He's a real team player. I will be. You know, but like, you know, and, you know, like he's in a, he tried to get me, he tried to get me to do booty boot camp. You know, like the, the late, you get up, you kind of get bigger and bigger. I don't know if you've experienced. Well, anyway.
Starting point is 00:48:16 No, I just took estrogen. So, so anyway, but I took booty boot camp. I went to, I went through the thing and then nobody wants to top me. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Well, that's not true. There is a top shortage out there. Also, also, it doesn't even matter. Like, if you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it. Like, we're not, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not literally forcing. you the bottom.
Starting point is 00:48:44 They're just encouraging you to reciprocate. There actually is. But I'm a bossy bottom, so a lazy top it usually works well with me. Selfish, lazy, you could say the same. Like when you say selfish, do you mean that is it because he will only top or is he also not doing any of the work?
Starting point is 00:49:10 No, I... He's never been in the room. I know. It's a meme because of how he presents himself. I have offered to FaceTime him while I'm having sex. It lends itself. It lends itself so perfectly. It lends itself so perfectly to this meme that he's a selfish top.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Also partially because like for, let's be real, there are a lot of bottoms who want a selfish top. Which is part of the reason why. Which is part of the reason why I feel like if you feel like they don't want you to bottom it's because. There's enough in L.A. Yeah. I know. It's a perfect thing to get really hyperbolic with because it like it doesn't actually hurt his reputation at all. And people, people, I've been fighting against it for a while.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yeah, he fights against it. I think a lot of people like on the outside might get mad at it. They're like, why is your straight friends doing this or whatever? But like, I don't think it has hurt your reputation in the gay community at all. No, absolutely not. No, if anything you're getting more. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah. People are like, I want you to be selfish. and I'm like, well, please, if that's what you want. We have such limited time with you. I have to talk to you. I thought you were going to say we have a clip of him being a selfish guy. Yeah, pull up the face up. It's behind the paywall.
Starting point is 00:50:22 When we get to the Patreon. He's still on the dog cost. Yeah, that's right. I really want to talk to you about something that I don't think you've talked about much. Sure. Your work with Pendleton Ward. Chuching.
Starting point is 00:50:35 What's that, Will? It's all the money I'm making on Shopify, baby. Shopify. I'm selling my fingernail clippings. Oh, my gosh. God, there's a market for that. Really? I'm selling my toes.
Starting point is 00:50:45 We can only really do that ten times. You should. You know what? But there's a space for everybody's small business, whether it be your toes, your fingernail clippings, or just your charming personality. Or your quality product.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Or your quality product. And you know what we can all use, guys? What? We can use Shopify to sell those things. They make the intimidation of business easy all in one place. You can sign up for only $1 per month. What?
Starting point is 00:51:15 How much? $1 per month with the trial today at Shopify.com slash fear. Wow. That's incredible. Go to Shopify.com slash fear. Where do I go? That's Shopify. com slash fear.
Starting point is 00:51:25 One more time. Sell anything. Make a business. It makes business as easy, big, small, large, or small again. Whatever. You are the new lemon grab. You've done Adventure Time, Fiona and Cake. I am a huge cartoon fan.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I've actually worked with one of Pendleton's storyboard artist Lord Spue on a cartoon called Bodyhead. How is it working with Pendleton? Well, I have to say I've worked more with Adam Muto. Okay. But I definitely got to meet Pendleton Ward ages ago when I actually went to the Cartoon Network Studios when I was voicing a character on Stephen Universe. Emerald. And Rebecca Sugar had also.
Starting point is 00:52:12 worked on Adventure Time. Right. So I can tell you, as someone who grew up watching Adventure Time and stayed with it, even as I kind of aged out, but then the show kind of aged with us. Yeah. I really, I continue to watch it today. It's one of those feel-good philosophical romps. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Anyway. So when they had to replace Lemon Grab, and I don't know if he'll be making future appearances, I got to take over Lemon Grab, because I was already. voicing the alternate universe version of lemon grab. That's so funny. Lemon Carb with Cree Sumner, who is one of the biggest voice talents
Starting point is 00:52:57 of the game. But I can tell you the whole family there, it's like, it's when you, I think the reason why once I did Stephen Universe, the door was kind of, wide open for adventure time because they all love what they're doing, you know? And I think it's, it's one of the best things is when you can make what you love doing your work because then the work is good because it's not someone forcing you to be creative.
Starting point is 00:53:28 You're being creative because that's what you like to, you know. Are we going to get more voiceover stuff from you? I know that you were recently on, I'm sorry, I'm blanking on the show. There was one. I was like, what was the one you most recently? Crapopolis? Yes. Crapopopolis, housebroken.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I've been in a handful of things and I have a handful more things coming out, but it's all in India territory. But it has been talked about that Lars of the Stars, a spinoff series of Stephen Universe. Yeah. We'll be hitting the stream waves. or I don't know how TV works now. I don't know if...
Starting point is 00:54:11 Are there still networks or are... Directly to your watch. It's just one big network. Coming to a dream, coming into your dreams. Astral projecting. Astral projecting. But Lars of the stars, when that comes to fruition, you might be hearing a recurring emerald appearance.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Amazing. Amazing. Well, we have to cut you. you loose this has been absolutely amazing. Well, we have, we have 10 minutes. We do. Oh, sorry, I'm sorry. I thought it was 1110. You were pre-cocking it for no reason. Well,
Starting point is 00:54:48 I liked when we were just like shouting about superstitions and stuff. Oh, yeah, no, no, we're going to keep going, we just didn't want it. We didn't want it. No, I'm easy-breatzy. Jinks, what do you got coming up? Well, I am going to play Judith Garland.
Starting point is 00:55:03 We start May. Soho Walthamthum, Walthamom. Oh my God. Easy to pronounce. I get it. I'm with you. They know.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Y'all, just Google it. Jinks Judy. I've got that. I've got my next EP coming out this summer. It's Virgo Odyssey, Leo Moon is the part two. And, oh, annually I do the Jinks and Dela holiday tour. with Bendelikram. And we actually, it's, what, is it spring yet?
Starting point is 00:55:42 It's spring now and we're about to take photos for our winter tour because that's how showbiz works. Does that go all over the country? All over the U.S. and Canada. Portland, a few stop. Yeah, we have Portland. We do L.A. at the Dolby Theater. Where do you go in Portland, Arlene Schnitzer? Arlene Schnitz.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Yeah, the schnitz. The schnitz. That's what we want to do, because we're going to do a podcast tour. So we want to, I want to do the Schnitz. It's a dream. This is some stuff that you'll understand. Okay. I never had an after school job other than working at the Escape Night Club and Saturday Market.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Shut up. I was a street mime at the Saturday Market. I could pull in 60 bucks in a couple of hours. And as a teenager in high school, that was pretty good. Street miming? That's so cool. That is so cool. How does want get into the world of time?
Starting point is 00:56:37 Street miming. Well, that's some Portland shit. Well, I was doing drag at the nightclub. And so we would mime, but really we were lip-sinking and doing drag numbers
Starting point is 00:56:48 with physical miming and stuff. But it was me and my good pal, Etienne, and we would paint our faces white. We called ourselves the street dolls because we acted, I acted like a wind-up doll, and he acted like a floppy rag doll.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Oh, my God. This sounds like, This sounds like a Portlandia. Okay, if you watch Portlandia, it is eerily accurate. Yes, yes. It is like kind of scary how on the nose they are. And people are like, those characters are pretty wild. And it's like, but that's, that's really how it is.
Starting point is 00:57:24 That's why you need to go to Portland. Get material at least. The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland. With Portland, yeah, I've always been confused as to like, because we find it funny because we live there and it's so real. Like, people that aren't from Portland don't... Is it... You're just watching a freak show or what?
Starting point is 00:57:40 That's what I want to know. I mean, we're still... We're also still familiar with, like, the vibes that Portland goes out. But, like, those are... They get so... It's so niche and really, like, into the... Into the Portland nitty-gritty. Who are you trying to be the most...
Starting point is 00:57:55 They're gay-keeping... Who's trying to be the most accurate characters on Portlandia? Oh, like, one of the sketches? Yeah. Um, I... Like, I... one of my favorite ones is when they did the... it was when they with a free range chicken
Starting point is 00:58:09 and they went and they went to med the chicken obviously it's exaggerated but that to me was very accurately yes you can go see the chickens I feel like the feminist bookstore
Starting point is 00:58:23 those ladies were like my librarians they were my they were my friends mom you know like I just knew too many women like the feminist bookstore owners. My favorite one of all time is the Brickleberry pancakes, where Tim Robbins runs like a breakfast street gang,
Starting point is 00:58:44 and because they cut the line, he makes them eat a Pop-Tart as like patents. Wait, yes, it's coming back to me. Go ahead and eat your breakfast. It's got preservatives in it. You're going to love it, your line cutter. At this point, like I still, me and my friend's assistant, when we need to find each other in like a Home Depot or something,
Starting point is 00:59:04 it's still, A.O. River! Oh, God. I love that. Do you know what the guy? Okay, this is like a Portland, only people that grew up here would know this. You ever go to like, did you ever go to Blazers games or anything like that? Or like, like, Blazers game, blues festival.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Blue's Festival. Waterfront Blues Festival? Yeah, I went to the Blues Festival. Okay. This guy was everywhere. My family went to Blazers games. Okay, but like this guy's everywhere. At any major event in Portland, the guy that was paying. painted himself silver with the balls. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Do you know him? Yes, he used to hate us. Really? Because the mime, you were competing with him. You had a competition with silver ball guy? Oh, well, he... Like a rivalry. Do you mean rivalry?
Starting point is 00:59:50 So the performing spots had hours of the day that you could perform at, and there were certain spots, and busking was allowed in certain parts of downtown, but not on owned property. like the mall. So there were very specific spots you could busk in in Portland. And silver ball guy. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:12 That's what I know, as you know what I'm talking about. This was his full-time job. And he wasn't always silver. Sometimes he was copper. Yeah, always metallic. Mostly silver, though.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yeah, mostly silver. Yeah, yeah. And he would juggle the balls in his hand like this. Yes. And he did it. Was it a Fushigi? No, it was like this.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Pull up the ad for Fuscii. The orb. He was just like this. And then he would just, freeze for a while and he wouldn't do shit. And he would shake your hand. Oh, I didn't know you could touch him. I was terrified. If you tipped him, he would shake your hand.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Oh, well, I'd never tip to him. But he never spoke. You can only touch the dancers if they allowed him. Did he ever hang full dog? That's crazy. Sorry. But yeah, we used to have to try to beat him to the good spots and we never could because he was always
Starting point is 01:00:59 omnipresent. Yeah, I know he was always like Did you ever get in a fight with a childhood statement? Because he never spoke. But it was like he would very sternly edges out of spots. Yeah, he would never, he would never speak. Physically, he would interrupt. He would start down the street and we'd see people going over to him. And then we'd just kind of get intimidated because we'd be like,
Starting point is 01:01:22 Is he still performing? I don't know. I haven't seen him in years. Oh, my God. I mean, he made the past away. Do you remember when God was the, did you see the article about God in Portland? and it was the lady who sat in the center, Pioneer Square for like...
Starting point is 01:01:38 She just sat there for four weeks straight, not speaking. And everyone was like, how is she sustaining her? Oh, my God. I don't remember this. Oh, well, God was in Portland? Well, that's just what people called her because they were making assumptions about... Portland, this is why you guys need to come to Portland.
Starting point is 01:01:56 It's such a cool. We have a naked bike ride. I can't believe you haven't wanted to. You're still in parts of us. For Portland, our silver orb guy hanging full dog. Yes. And paranoid schizophrenic woman sitting without eating in park for three ways. People put labels on her.
Starting point is 01:02:16 She didn't do anything. She never called herself God. She's innocent. She never called herself God. She sat there quietly contemplating and people loved her. Where is she at now? Do we know? She just left.
Starting point is 01:02:33 She was there for about four weeks, and then just like she came one day, she disappeared. Austin showed the amount of people that disappeared in Portland. Can we do a silver ball guy stream where you bring back to legend? Yeah, if I could.
Starting point is 01:02:47 We paint you silver and we let you bust. I mean, I don't know if I could do it. But, I mean, he was really just, he would just do this and he wore like a hat. A bucket hat. Before they were. Before they were cool. He was a trend center.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Yeah, okay. Yeah, you would wear these big bag. These big baggy clothes that were also metallic. Can we pull up silver Portland orb guys our last thing? I just need to see. I need to see what the fuck I'm looking at. He was like an institution. Yes, he was.
