EP 32: GETTING LISTENERS FIRED

We have an extra long episode to make up for it being late. We talk about literally nothing important and then another hour giving advice.

Thank you Slic for the intro, iintermission, and closing music.

listening to the backlog as a new sub but did yall watch porco rosso? idk how anyone can say miyazaki doesnt do symbolism, its soooo explicit on that one.

“Hey you’re black wanna do crime with me?” The cackle I let out scared my coworker😭🤣

costco_hotcock

also not to wax poetic in literal 2 week old podcast comments but re: miyazaki symbolism i watched a lecture once about the giant tree growing scene in totoro being an inversion of the atomic mushroom cloud as creating new life instead of destroying and now talking abt that movie brings me to tears

hello! I lived in Nashville for four years in college but I’m from a rural area in TN. In the city every one is usually pretty chill, but it’s when you go outside the city where it’s more hateful (confederate monuments w hateful flags etc.). I also went to Nash pride this year and there was def a guy reading scripture on a mic outside 🤪 I think it’s really important to find a community where you feel safe and loved that way if/when you experience anything tough you don’t lose hope in humanity and you have a group of people who can support you! Overall Nashville is lovely and there are so many beautiful and amazing parts of southern culture that you’ll get to experience and love!! Excited for you!

I’m curious to know more about your dislike for Australians…

As a gay female standup I can tell you you’ll be in a lot of rooms with the worst men around. But it’ll get better. Just remind yourself those fucking idiots get up there all the time and most of them are delusional in their confidence, blame the audience for not laughing etc. they are gonna be JEALOUS of you and hate you bc you came into this with a big social media following and a podcast with way more listeners than theirs. They don’t fuckin matter. Make fun of them. They’re just the dudes who run the open mic scene you’re gonna practice your stage presence on. Is there a queer comedy scene around you? In Philly we have a few groups/shows/regular open mics that cater to women queer or POC performers. Meaning they’re at the top of the mic list and the white dudes have to go last. Those shows are more fun when you need to practice your material.

Jaxon

Howls moving castle and when Marnie was there are my fav Ghibli movies

Cassidy

O- 🤚🏻 here an yes, I give blood to delude myself into thinking I'm a good person. I joke that I do it to restore my karma back into equilibrium as I'm evil.

flyingrat

I think open mics are mainly to defeat the feeling of embarrassment so I hope you keep at it bc I saw the video and I thought it was a legitimately good first try and I could see you being incredible at it. I say this genuinely, not brown-nosing

sara

As a French-Algerian person…I would break up with my partner if they woke up with a French accent for sure

Mélissa Khb

I raise you the acadian accent which sounds like a southern trilled french. if you ever wanna hear it I def recommend the podcast HELPEZ-MOI it’s so funny. I find it more charming than the french accent since it’s authentic (french people sound fake at times)

2 hours... my night at work has improved exponentially
