Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah. Do your parents are happy that you're here or nah? They knew it wasn't going to work out from early on. Like they knew this was what I was going to do, stand up and acting. So I think like they didn't have any high expectations. I didn't disappoint. I disappointed them early.
Starting point is 00:20:27 So I think they were fine with it. I mean, you've got to get the disappointment out of the way early. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When what? Disappointment? Yeah. That would be. I actually was performing since I was in, like, the first grade.
Starting point is 00:20:42 And I think I was just one of those kids that was like, this is what I want to do. I knew what I want to do. I want to come out to musical theater. So, you know, again, they were like, maybe I'll become a doctor after this BFA in musical theater. You look like you could be a doctor, though. I could play a doctor, so that's good. Right, right, right. Your glasses are very doctor.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Yes, I wear them. Everything I've ever booked, they say, make sure you bring the glasses. Yeah, they're very Grey's Anatomy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Again, second Shonda Rhimes reference. She's listening. She's coming. We're going to know.
Starting point is 00:21:10 We're going to hear. She's going to start a new show. Now she's on Netflix. What's the show she has on Netflix? No, Netflix, just like she's moved to Netflix. Right, but we don't know what it's called. Pilot season. We'll see her pilot season, Shonda.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yay. Shondaland. Okay, so you get to New York. Do you remember your first subway experience? oh uh or your what's your most yeah i mean so there's this one guy so like you know we all have strong feelings about the the performers yeah and but there's one that i always really like to see and uh because he's a stand-up comic and i think he's he's very what i like is he's like you don't know a lot of homeless stand-up comedians so i've never met one i've never
Starting point is 00:21:49 encountered anyone trying to do i mean they'd be funny though when they'd be telling their little stories but then they have their like perspectives that you don't like he has a joke that man over there in that car told me i got old dirty clothes and i said i might be homeless jack but these are name brand clothes of our name brand look at that central park van cortland park washington square park and like all his jokes it's like oh yeah i've never heard anyone make that joke before so i always like to see him and i don't know his name i call him subway seinfeld subway seinfeld yeah that is honestly a character he could be in him he could be in a movie or yeah i know but the thing is like he does the same four minute set every single time oh let me tell
Starting point is 00:22:30 you we know a lot of comedians who do that yeah of course we know that but like they get to like go from place to place like he's always playing the red line okay and so like i've seen him do really well before like if there's tourists if there's tourists i've seen him in slay i've seen him slay you've seen him slay i've never seen an homeless man slay listen oh no he's slow he's slave i feel like doing comedy on public transportation is rough like i i agreed for some reason to do a set for some reason you got paid on the roosevelt the roosevelt island tram who paid you for this i don't know the person who asked me to do it so i had to do comedy the tram ride from side to side i think it's like four minutes right so it takes you to this little
Starting point is 00:23:14 island and then it takes you back for another four minutes and i can do stand-up for these tourists who don't speak english who didn't know who the hell i was people who like just didn't get it and with a camera crew it was awful they had a camera crew yeah they're like we're gonna try to sell this and i was like wait what why would they do that that was the whole reason why they were doing it it was awful but so they didn't speak english either yeah but i've done those hostel shows where you do it at a hospital and there's always but there's always like you have references you're like do they know what lunch is like i you don't know what you know but you always like you always over clarify you're always like it's a thing here where we do the thing
Starting point is 00:23:55 but they laugh because they're like do they not know we know about food yeah it's so crazy though because the last ride that i took nobody was laughing at anything i was saying right and this little boy said something and people were like oh and i was like oh you're trying to you think funny now and he was like mm-hmm and i was like tell the truth and he was like what do you call a cow with no legs and everybody was like waiting to hear and he was like ground beef and everyone was like oh my god and i was like y'all at ground beef wait that's pretty good i've never heard that one no i've never heard that you can't even come up with that damn joke that's fucking rude anyway i was with a little boy he looked like he was maybe like six or seven he's about to get
Starting point is 00:24:38 kicked I don't know all of them get kicked off the trail I'm gonna try that on stage sometime
Starting point is 00:24:43 see if it works get back to subway style okay subway style so he does the same stuff the same set every time
Starting point is 00:24:49 and there was just one time I was coming from a I take a weekly hip hop class and actually
Starting point is 00:24:54 go into it right in person yeah if you want to come to 30 to 4 it's advanced beginner so
Starting point is 00:24:59 what's advanced beginner we're born advanced beginner oh my god you don't need a class oh it's really
Starting point is 00:25:06 fun and that was a really good class and as I was coming I was going home from that I live in Harlem and so I got on the train
Starting point is 00:25:18 it was around 4 o'clock the 2-3 uptown and who was headlining but the subway sign felt himself and so he started into a set and things were going fine
Starting point is 00:25:27 but then on the other end of the car he had a heckler so there was a guy and he just I mean he was he started and he goes
Starting point is 00:25:34 shut the fuck up we already heard this shut the fuck up it was I mean vicious yeah but like
Starting point is 00:25:42 the comedian we'll call him Jerry Subway Cycle his name's Jerry Jerry like kind of ignored it he knows his set he just kind of
Starting point is 00:25:50 plowed through but then the heckler started anticipating his punchlines that's how well we all know his set so he'd be like name brand close
Starting point is 00:25:59 picked him out myself and then the heckler would come and be like Central Park Ben Corland Park Washington Square shut the fuck and so that's when like jerry decided to switch it up to some crowd work
Starting point is 00:26:12 so he turned to the heckler and he was like this homeless man is doing crowd work he's doing yeah like he's already got a hard life why you gotta do the crowd work he said to me said how about i shut the fuck up i fucked your mother up the ass and then it was just like chaos people started screaming wait jerry said that jerry said that to the heckler Oh, man. He deserved it. Someone was filming. Someone shouted, world star.
Starting point is 00:26:36 It was like, it was a crazy moment. That's how you know it's real. If somebody don't scream world star, nothing's actually happening. And so, like, I wanted to say something. Because, you know, I'm a performer. And I felt bad. But, you know, I didn't because I was a coward. And so, we got to 72nd Street.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And the doors opened. And Jerry got off the train. But he looked like shaking. You know, we've all had bad shows. not on the two train but not a bad show and you're homeless and you're homeless
Starting point is 00:27:05 and you're on the two train you got a bad show then you gotta go home there's no home and home is the train you gotta get back you gotta get back on the train cause that's your home
Starting point is 00:27:13 so I felt bad and so Jerry left the doors closed we kept going but the heckler kept was still like he kept he was like
Starting point is 00:27:21 stupid bullshit I don't have to hear this shit I wrote three fucking jobs unfunny ass motherfucker and like when you know when he called him unfunny like something something in me
Starting point is 00:27:30 I felt even worse and I just I couldn't help it it came out of me I screamed back I said hey he left so why don't you
Starting point is 00:27:36 shut the fuck up and it was like the first time in the whole ride that everyone shut the fuck up until the heckler yelled back
Starting point is 00:27:44 who the fuck said that were you ready well not really because as a reminder I was coming from hip hop so what I was wearing
Starting point is 00:27:54 at the time I was wearing a beige American apparel tank top you can't be a white man in a big It was on sale while they were closing down.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You didn't have like a little track jacket on? I don't go to hip-hop to look good. I go to hip-hop to feel good. No, that's not what hip-hop's for, dude. To feel good. You gotta have a look as well. You can't just be. What?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Hold on. What else? Did you have a backwards baseball cap on? No, I didn't have that. I did, though, have juicy sweatpants. Neon blue, juicy sweatpants. Juicy on the butt. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I don't even know they made those pants for men. I don't know if it was, but they fit. I mean, I think they do. Oh, man. Did you get it from a consignment shop? I feel like. You had on women's. I got it on sale.
Starting point is 00:28:34 You had on women's. I feel like you must have seen it. No way. It's not women this tall. This must have been men's. How tall are you? I'm 6'3 and a half. 6'10 women.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Lisa Lobo or whatever is that tall. Wait. So you had some juicy pants. It said juicy across your butt. A beige tank top. And Crocs. And you were doing hip hop and Crocs. No, I changed after Crocs.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Okay, because that's a lot of nerve. And then we have to end the podcast. No, no, no. You will not desecrate my hip-hop. No, I changed after class. I wore very cool sneaks for the class. What cool sneaks you had on? I had the Nikes.
Starting point is 00:29:10 What are they called? The Nikes, they make all different colors. Yeah, we were really cute. You mean New Balance? I bet you it was a New Balance. No, I don't think you've seen New Balance in Nike. It was a Skechers New Balance. I'm like, Nike, it has the N for Nike.
Starting point is 00:29:24 New Balance. You had an N for Nike. and so here you are looking like a target you scream shut up shut up so he said who the fuck said that and i saw across to me like there was this guy like if crossfit was a person it would have been this guy like he's filling out his tank top a lot better than me and i thought oh this is the moment that all those muscles are for this this kind of fight so i gave him a look kind of like hey man i'm in a pickle uh if shit goes down you'll take care of it right and he gave me a look back like nah and so so the guy the head was stood up at this point saying who the fuck said that
Starting point is 00:29:59 i can tell the way he's saying it he really doesn't know who said it right until that crossfit guy points directly at me yeah you should wait the crossfit you got connor in the same field like we're in the tank top we're in the room tank top cross these guys on those crotch and he was like that's not my people that's not my kin
Starting point is 00:30:21 and so so the so when he points to you in no like at no point did you feel like oh I should just
Starting point is 00:30:30 point to him we should just all keep pointing going back and forth yeah no I think I was too I was so stunned at this betrayal
Starting point is 00:30:36 of who I thought was my friend this stranger I thought her brother's son if this drama on the train I don't want to be involved
Starting point is 00:30:45 I'm not pointing at nobody because what if you I don't say anything but I think it was one of these things I think we were the only if I remember correctly
Starting point is 00:30:52 we were the only two men on that side of the train so he probably was like I don't want to deal with this this is the guy who opened his god damn mouth yeah but the CrossFit guy was probably bigger
Starting point is 00:31:02 than the heckler right yeah but he doesn't want to fight he's not looking for a fight maybe he came from the gym he's tired he should have just been like
Starting point is 00:31:08 not me if the guy came to his thing I wouldn't have said anything or it could have just been quiet yeah what are you pointing for he didn't have to say anything maybe he was on the heckler side
Starting point is 00:31:17 did he point with flair did he throw his whole hand up or did he just do a little flick it was just a flick or maybe they did that on purpose they set it up that's maybe their thing where he yells at this he's a heckler
Starting point is 00:31:32 and his friend sets it up it's a scam anyway maybe that conspiracy theory wait people listening want to know what happened so he points to you So he points to me, so now the heckler's coming to me, he says, you fucking say that? And he's walking towards me.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And this was just as we got to the 96th Street stop. And so I saw that across, there was a train, one, going uptown, and the doors were open. So I'm like, I got two options. I've got my time to go. When this train gets up, I'm going to have to try to run the street level, try to find the police, but, you know, he'll probably catch me because of the Crocs. I can't. Crocs slow you down.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't run Crocs to the cops. so you say so i go okay i'm gonna go over the option two i'm gonna try it again another train just hope for the best so in your crocs in my crocs but you need to take the cracks behind like cinderella you gotta just crockerella you gotta just come back at midnight or whatever time but it's in a shorter distance i can make it so so the door is open i swear i like pivot past the heckler oh you do a pivot i pivot i did basketball in middle school before you hit us i did basketball in middle school i did basketball in middle school so what did the heckler look like
Starting point is 00:32:49 just uh he looked he looked like uh he was a construction worker of some kind like he was wearing jeans and he was wearing i mean we're talking about dusty we're talking about the race oh i wanted to know everything okay i wanted to know there's a black man oh man now mark you gonna keep that to yourself yeah fuck you you're gonna be like i don't recall i don't look at race i don't see color see color that's why i got that beige tank top so the black dude the black dude in the construction boots uh you pivot past him with those b-ball moves and you run across i run across like i swear to god i get onto the the one and the door is closed before he's able to reach me so he falls down when he's banging on the glass he's like i'm gonna kill you i'm gonna
Starting point is 00:33:35 kill you and i was feeling a little cocky i made it i'm saving so he's like too slow motherfucker too slow are you talking all that shit yeah yeah and that's when the doors reopened see this is i knew the doors were gonna reopen yep that's what happened that's what always happened and that was the first time i got punched in the face no what kind of punch was it it was it was not the bad it was not the worst punch it was like i kind of i thought duck kind of nicked my nicked my chin and then i cowered i mean i cowered i said i'm sorry i'm so sorry and he left did you fall down i like did into the seat did you drop your thing uh no i had a backpack on did you so i was there did you have your glasses
Starting point is 00:34:23 on uh yeah i probably did because i i have to do hip-hop with my glasses on so i can see oh you're doing hip-hop so wrong you're not doing it right again it's about feeling good so then he gets off the train after you say you're so sorry uh yeah because he's got to get back he was able to get back on his way he was able to punch you and then get back on his train those trains sometimes are very slow they're slow when you don't
Starting point is 00:34:51 need them the devil was on his side oh god so were you bleeding like were you hurt no it just like
Starting point is 00:34:59 stung a little bit and I was like you know I was like oh my god my jaw is broken were other people there yeah that's the question were there people
Starting point is 00:35:05 on the train it was not a very crowded train but you know getting people like I'm not messing with this shit he must have
Starting point is 00:35:11 done something someone shouted world star somebody said the proxen like he deserved it he deserved it And someone else was like, that's gay bashing.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Oh, man. So, that's the fight on the train. What else has happened to you on the subway? Because I feel like you probably didn't learn your lesson. Yeah, and I've had a couple things happen on the subway. Once, more recently, I was on a date. I met a girl at a bar, and she was coming back to my place in Harlem. I was very excited.
Starting point is 00:35:40 What were you wearing? Wait, where do you live in Harlem? 125th and Lenox. Okay, that's like a main. Yeah, yeah, yeah. across the new Whole Foods. I see it from my window. No, don't say it like that.
Starting point is 00:35:50 That's gentrification. We don't give a damn about the Whole Foods. And I'm worried if they saw me move in and they're like, all right, we got a market in place.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Let's set up the Whole Foods on Malcolm X Boulevard. That's what it is. It won't be Malcolm X in like five years. It'll be Wayne Brady Boulevard. That's what I'm giving to you. Wayne Brady Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Exactly. You get it. So you meet this guy in a bar. What are you wearing? Because we just need to... I was not coming from hip hop, so that's probably
Starting point is 00:36:11 what I'm wearing now. That's your date look? So quickly. Oh, wow. What do you think I'm going to achieve? Well, what night was it? If it's a Tuesday, then you're fine. If it's a Friday, Saturday, that's a no.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I will let you know that I almost wore cargo shorts at this. And I saw something you posted yesterday. And I said, oh, I better not wear cargo shorts at this recording. That's my podcast outfit. Cargo shorts and tank top. And I saw you post something about guys who wear cargo shorts in the fall. And I said, I better not do that. What did you say about guys who wear cargo shorts in the fall?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Oh, I was going off. I was on a rant. It was one of those things where you're like, Sydney, you're being mean. Like, people were in my DMs like, what's wrong with a manhole? Like, they were saying all this stuff. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah, I saw it and I was like, nope. I was pretty mean. See, Sydney's doing what she can for the community. This is my dating app. What, a suit? I don't know. Like, maybe like a nice bun down. Like, maybe not flannel.
Starting point is 00:37:10 I went to a bar. It was someone at a bar. We weren't going out to a bar. Right, they met at the bar. Okay. Whenever I was wearing, she decided she wanted to come back. So it was a good effort. Oh, whatever it was, it was like...
Starting point is 00:37:21 Whatever it was, it was fine. Whatever it was, it was good enough for her to be like, let me see the house. Let me see the dick. No. Let me see the dick. So when she approached you, where did you approach her? I just want to know what your game is.
Starting point is 00:37:33 There's no game. She must have... You probably were like... Bumped into each other. Bumped into each other. There's no way I saw and made a move. I'm not that type. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:37:42 But you're the type to scream at somebody on the train. shut the fuck up I just have like bursts of and also like in Potomac you yell and no one's
Starting point is 00:37:51 fighting each other like it's kind of a thing where you're like oh yeah you can't just yell things at people not in New York not in New York
Starting point is 00:37:59 you yell at the wrong person so so we got on the train we're going back to my place everything's going well and then at 72nd street who should get on
Starting point is 00:38:09 but Mandy Patinkin yeah so Mandy Patinkin he was a in The Princess Bride he was Nigo Montoya he's from
Starting point is 00:38:18 you killed my father prepare to die he's from Homeland Homeland but I went to school for musical theater so he's a big
Starting point is 00:38:23 he's a big deal for me big huge musical theater star so like the cool veneer I've been cultivating all night just like disappeared oh my god
Starting point is 00:38:31 that's Manny Padilla Manny going to Harlem I was so excited yeah yeah yeah that's your voice that was your voice yeah and I was so
Starting point is 00:38:39 you know who who would get on their subway to make you freak out like that like make your voice go oh my god
Starting point is 00:38:46 oh my god Oprah Oprah's not Oprah's not taking the train if she but if she did she's taking the plane if she was on the train
Starting point is 00:38:54 to go to Harlem if she took the train I would freak out because it would look fucking like if I saw Oprah on the train I'd be like
Starting point is 00:39:01 there's no way that's her and I would just be like move grandma and I wouldn't give her my seat because I wouldn't believe that it was Oprah on the train it was Oprah I'm like
Starting point is 00:39:08 she lost it all yeah I would just assume everything would be bad she'd have to make a series of horrible decisions. No, she's like a billionaire. She is a billionaire.
Starting point is 00:39:18 If you go up and she's like, can I get a swipe? And you're like, Oprah, what happened? Yo, Oprah should do that. That should be a great segment. But it's like the thing where if you help her, she's like, I'm Oprah. You win a car now.
Starting point is 00:39:29 You win a car. You win a car. You're so generous. Nah, she'd probably give everybody a monthly MetroCard. I don't want a car. Yo, that's a segment right there. In New York, I don't need a car.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Give me a MetroCard for the year. A MetroCard for the year. Actually, let me get my debit card and link it to her debit card. Yes, or give me unlimited MetroCard and Ubers. She's a billionaire, right? Yeah, she is.
Starting point is 00:39:51 She can definitely give me the unlimited Uber. I don't even go there. And she's not going to ever marry Stanton. Oh, that's funny. How long have you been dating? What's his name?
Starting point is 00:39:58 They've been together for like 50 years. Hold on, let me Google this. 50 years. She said she doesn't want to get married and he's like, no, Juan.
Starting point is 00:40:04 He's like, I don't want to get married either. I just want to be your man. Do you live together? Probably. He probably lives at the other end of the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:11 They don't sleep together. He lived in the West Wing. He lives in the guest house near the pool. Oh, brah and dead men. Okay, wait. Go ahead and finish that. Okay, so Manny Patinkin gets on. Big deal for me, personally.
Starting point is 00:40:24 And he gets off at 9 to 6 or 2. He's not going to home. But, like, I had had a couple margaritas that night. Or I never would have done this. So you felt like you needed to chat. Yeah. I mean, but also because he's not, like, he's famous. But it's kind of famous for, like, he doesn't necessarily take a selfie every day with a
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah, he's like, I'm actually doing you a favor, so I'm reminding you that you're somebody, because nobody else would know. I've had those shows where I own the play or something, and people offer me to sign my playbill, like they're doing me a favor. They're like, do you want to sign my playbill? They're like, yeah, I guess they'll make it look cool. That's what you did to Mandy? No, no, no. So I went up to Mandy at 96th Street as he's getting off. Is that a total slap that you got punched in the face?
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah, it's not a lucky slap. You should just skip 96th all together. so I I follow him off really quickly I'm like Mr. Patinkin I'm so sorry
Starting point is 00:41:17 to interrupt your night but I just want to let you know you followed him off so you got off the train with your date no so she's there so I'm just like I'm like in the doorway
Starting point is 00:41:25 and basically like as he's in the doorway I'm like I see Mr. Patinkin you're an inspiration to me every day and your musical theater work is just so amazing
Starting point is 00:41:32 and thank you for everything you've done did he have a heart was he like trying to be in disguise and you just were like Mr. Patinkin no I think
Starting point is 00:41:38 he might have been with his mom like he was a much older woman that might be his piece that might be his piece yeah maybe but he's got a big bushy beard he always looks like he's very
Starting point is 00:41:52 he's an intense guy like he doesn't want you to talk to him yeah sure but he don't care but he shook my hand and said see you down the road kid and I was like I was so elated
Starting point is 00:42:07 and he walked away and yeah that was actor that was like actor term get the fuck out of my face no no it was like maybe you'll be on homeland one day kid and we'll have a scene that's how I took it that was like flipping a coin that was like a cool like
Starting point is 00:42:22 1920s like I'll see you around kid and you're like oh man gee mister that would be a star I would say that after he like banged the woman out and was like I'm leaving never see you again see you around kid yeah well I took it very
Starting point is 00:42:38 meaningfully at this moment whenever I feel low. And so I shook his hand, the doors closed, and that's when I realized that as I was shaking his hand, I had left the train, and my date was still on the train. And now the thing is that... Wow!
Starting point is 00:42:54 The thing is that all I knew all I knew about this woman was that her name was Beth. But you did, she didn't have your phone number or nothing. No phone number. So we look at each other through the windows, and the doors did not reopen this time. the train started moving
Starting point is 00:43:09 and so I was looking and she's like she's like Facebook man I was like what's your last name and she was like gone and she went to the tunnel
Starting point is 00:43:17 wait did you chase the train a little bit a little bit but then I went into the tunnel we were closer to the tunnel than far away did Mandy Patinkin see this happening
Starting point is 00:43:26 no Mandy did not Mandy got the fuck away from me as quick as possible yo Mandy my night just cleared up you wanna chill I wanna hang out
Starting point is 00:43:35 with you and your wife or your mom or whoever this wife is to you what a waste so I feel like it's like
Starting point is 00:43:42 it sounds like first of all 96th street is not your friend no in some ways in general I just don't think
Starting point is 00:43:49 well what is the do you have do you have tips for people who take this that way in New York who maybe are listening to this
Starting point is 00:43:56 and have never been on the train like is there anything that you could like do words of wisdom well one I would say
Starting point is 00:44:03 if you're meeting a girl at the bar and you're going back to your place get her fucking number yeah yeah get that
Starting point is 00:44:08 When you're, like, Sydney, when you, like, leave in the bar with somebody and you know they're going to your house or they're coming to your, their, you're going to their house, you're not exchanging numbers. Oh, I always exchange numbers. If, if we're leaving together. I feel like that's saying. I give my number just in case. Like, what if something, I don't know. That'd be like, okay, we're already got something going. Let's make this more intense.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Before we hook up, let's make it so that I can contact you whenever I want. Wait, hold on. You're like, you're good enough to like, let's hook up, but you're not good enough to have my phone number. I feel like most people don't exchange numbers until after. No, I... If it's going to be a one night stand, they won't exchange sometimes numbers at all. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I don't just have one night stands, so I... I mean, I wouldn't know either. Exactly. It's not the way that my vagina sounds. Dang. Okay, Marie. This is a VIP clip. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:00 There is a velvet robe outside my vagina. If you guys connect and you make plans to link up later, then you exchange numbers. But if they're going back to your place, you should definitely get their number. But why? You don't expect to be separated in the journey home. In New York, my phone is always fucking dying. Always dying. Well, that's true.
Starting point is 00:45:20 My phone, something always happens. We're like, I don't know, I'll drop it in the water. I don't know. I need to get the number or at least the name. The last name of, what is Beth? Beth, if you're listening to this, boo. I tell this everywhere just in case
Starting point is 00:45:34 one day nothing yo she gonna think you are right wait were you guys making out before you got on the train like
Starting point is 00:45:41 I think we had like a little smooch a little smooch a little but that's what's so I mean that's the thing if you're when I stand
Starting point is 00:45:47 don't take the train because then you gotta like keep things like turned up for an hour and a half on the dirty train and that's hard that's true
Starting point is 00:45:54 I've never done that you're on the train under those terrible fluorescent lights oh so you get to see every nook and cranny you're like How old did he say you were?
Starting point is 00:46:02 You were born when? And then by the 87th stop, you're like, I don't think I really want to fuck you anymore. Well, Calvin, who was at our Walk of Shame expo, did our live show in October. And he was saying that he got on a bus with a guy that he met. He went to Jersey. He was on the bus for an hour and 20 minutes. That's too long. That would definitely, my mind would be going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Should I do this? Should I not? I would be thinking too much when you're in a cab it's quick, you're making out you're still touching and then you're there so you're not even thinking about is this a bad decision
Starting point is 00:46:42 but if you're on a fucking bus you can hear the engine there's other people there there's a homeless guy doing stand up do you guys do do you make out in the car or are you just like this Uber driver is going to deal no no no when I'm this Uber driver
Starting point is 00:46:57 and all these pool customers you make out in an uber pool that'd be the worst I've never done that I've never done that I've seen people do that but I've never done that
Starting point is 00:47:07 oh man but before I got in a relationship the like two people before that I met the person at the club didn't even know him
Starting point is 00:47:15 we're I'm wasted I have a day drinking lunch da da da da da day drinking is fun but also dangerous it is
Starting point is 00:47:21 so I'm dancing he's trying to talk I don't even want to talk and then all of a sudden I like fall into him and we start making out and we're making out, making out, making out. And I see him in the face.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah, like my tongue is in his nose and it's licking his eyeballs. I was like contouring his face with my tongue. It was crazy. That's crazy. I know. And then he's like, well, let's go. And so we're about to walk out the club
Starting point is 00:47:46 and he's like, wait, gotta get something. I was like, oh, he's gotta go get some condoms. No, he gets his skateboard and he said, yeah, my place is not that far so I'm just gonna skate and you're gonna walk beside me you're gonna try are you fucking kidding me dude i am not no way we're getting in a cab there's i am i'm first of all too wasted to walk beside you what oh man so we get in the cab i make out with him till we get to his apartment which was actually not that far
Starting point is 00:48:14 he was right about that but there was no way i was gonna fucking walk get in his place is peach black can't see shit all i know we get to his room i'm taking my clothes off i'm like yeah i'm like i was being aggressive and stuff and then we hook up i probably why was it so dark bitch hold on wake up fucking ceiling is missing he's got barely any sheets on the mattress fucking place is a disaster there's roaches in the bathroom it is it's a scene from that movie candy man it is disgusting i don't know maybe that taking the skateboard home should have been his sheets are probably not freshly washed his sheets were smooshed roaches hold on hold on listen the skateboard had supreme on it so i was like oh he's somebody he's got some points you
Starting point is 00:49:07 know and we're and listen i'm wasted i'm so fucked up i wake up and i was like this is a bad dream close my eyes healing was missing yeah there was parts of the ceiling missing because the They were about to tear that whole building down. You were in a condemned house. Oh my God. You were in a condemned building. Oh my God, I looked up. I said, this is a dream.
Starting point is 00:49:28 This is a dream. Close my eyes. Wake up an hour after. Fucking still. And I was like, this is real. The ceiling is still missing. But I'm so drunk. I'm like, oh, I'm so sick.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I can't get up. When you turned on the lights, he's like, no, baby, let's keep them off. I don't have light bulbs. that's a yellow canopy bed right so you can't see the ceiling
Starting point is 00:49:51 oh my god and then I was like I need to leave he said well stay or order pizza and I was like

He's like, you know, you know damn well I'm not going to get no food with this money. People were like, you know what? And then this guy dapped him. This guy gave him a dab. I was like, you just touched a dirty man's hand because he was that good at telling the truth?
Starting point is 01:00:23 Yeah. He's like, and then the guy was like, keep doing what you're doing, man. Keep doing what you're doing. Do the homeless man, keep doing what you're doing. You're doing good stuff. I cried. That is crazy. You know, I gave him a dollar.
Starting point is 01:00:36 See, no, I don't give money to homeless people on the internet. I had a friend who once gave, because Sonny's asked for food, and once gave him those bagel bites, those bagel chips, and the person was like, no, I don't like that. I got a lot of nerves. And my friend was just, the person was like, oh, I didn't know you were going to be picky. So, embarrassed. Your friend was like, now your friend is embarrassed by a homeless person. I'm like, oh my God.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I gotta take these dirty-ass shoes back. It's like, even homeless people don't want these. That's how bad they are. I, uh, no, I, um, I feel like when people get on the train, I don't ever give them money, but there's this, there's two groups that'll come on and sing.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Oh, they're so good. The doo-wop? There's, like, these old black dudes that do, like, Temptations and stuff. They do, like, old, like, Motown. And they're all, they're not even homeless. I think they're just doing it
Starting point is 01:01:23 because they're bored. Because they're old. And their wives are like, get the fuck out the house! but they're so good and then there's these young black kids that have a guitar and there's a woman with them
