The transcript blends humor, personal storytelling, and cultural commentary to explore themes of identity, seasonality, and community. It begins with a poetic reflection on how fall arrives slowly, as objects and emotions find each other—mirroring the journey of self-discovery. This theme resonates with the return of *Abbott Elementary*, celebrated for its vibrant, inclusive energy and new episodes on ABC and Hulu. A central narrative follows a comedian’s journey through queer identity, from early confusion to acceptance, highlighting the importance of authenticity and the joy found in nuanced relationships. The conversation delves into personal milestones—like watching *Troy* at age 12 or dancing at a gay bar—where moments of awakening shaped their understanding of bisexuality and self-expression. It also celebrates a new sapphic comedy film and a nationwide comedy tour, emphasizing connection, fun, and visibility. Through anecdotes about state fairs, shrimp cocktails, and awkward social moments, the piece underscores the value of humor, spontaneity, and friendship in queer life. Ultimately, it portrays a celebration of individuality, self-acceptance, and the beauty of living in a world that doesn’t demand rigid labels—where joy, connection, and personal truth can emerge, one small moment at a time.
Fall never arrives all at once.
Verse the air, then the light, and slowly the things you love begin to find each other.
A jacket meets a dress, a hoodie slips beneath a blazer.
An old cap finds a new scarf, because you don't simply step into the season.
You create it, layer by layer, until it finally feels like fall.
And fall your way at Ross.
Welcome back, Frick and Frick.
Welcome to the Jungle, ABC Wednesdays.
Abbott is back.
It's going to be the best year yet.

Like, um, do you know when you're drinking a can of beer?
And they go, yeah.
I would be honored to be crushed by him.
Like a PBR.
How much do you think he weighs?
Not more than me.
I don't know men's weights.
Me neither.
When men are like, he's like.
220.
Yeah, I'm like, what does that even mean?
Right.
Men love to know what other men weigh.
Let's ask him how much he weighs.
And how much he thinks we weigh.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know what?
Other hosts wouldn't do that.
No.
But we don't care.
Then I'm going to tape an apple to the top of my head and see if we can shoot it in an arrow.
Yeah.

I'll say this.
Here's what I'll say.
I don't know if you know this, but at the Minnesota state fair, there are giant heads of butter
carved into women's heads.
Did you know that?
Giant butter carved into women's heads.
Thank you.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
You're familiar.
I've seen that.
I remember when I used to go to the state fair, it would be like, you pay 25 cents and
you get to see a two-headed alligator.
I like that.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
That sounds more like a freak show than I thought, but hell yeah.
But that is what they used to do.
Did you not or an albino alligator?
Yeah.
I feel like that is a little more expensive for like the world's largest pig.
Yeah.
They didn't have these at your carnivals?
Live births.
This isn't a carnival.
It's a state fair.
I think you're leaning carnival.
No.
The state fair used to have very like, I mean, it's giving nightmare alley.

I wish, honestly, they need to rename it,
and they need to rename it the orgasm.
You walk in and you go, is that how I do it?
Oh, I'm upset.
I'm upset.
You weren't upset about it last night, really?
Yeah, I would genuinely, if somebody came that way,
I would, I'd be actually upset.
Here's the thing, I'm joking, but barely.
Let's hear the real noise.
Hello, hello, hello, it's worse.
It's worse, I'm actually making it better.
It's so much worse than what I do.
I black out.
It's not good.
Verse the air, then the light.
And slowly the things you love begin to find each other.
A jacket meets a dress.
A hoodie slips beneath a blazer.
An old cap finds a new scarf.
Because you don't simply step into the season.
Find fall your way, at Ross.
Welcome back, Fricking Frack.
Abbott is back.
Thank you.
You don't think you run this school, but you got it.
It's going great.
Abbott Elementary.

Shout out.
And November 4th, we're ending in Los Angeles
in an amazing show at Largo.
We have an amazing guest.
Food.
And we'll be announcing that when it gets closer,
because we want people that bottom early to get in early.
Bottom early.
One thing about me, I'm bottoming very early in the morning.
I didn't say bottom.
I said bot them.
Oh, I thought you said bottom early.
When you said San Francisco in the bay, I went, like,
woo, and I almost did fear the fork again.
That's for Phoenix.
Yeah.
Shit.
Shout out Bay Area, e-free.
My wife's hometown.
Yeah, let's go fucking nuts.
Goes to the web.
Yes.
Yee-ee.
Anyone?
Bay Area?
Anyone?
This means?
What does it-- do you want to talk about?
I don't know.
Anyways.
And now.
And now.
I wish it came down like a WWE.
The reason that you're all here,
because I'm sure that you saw our guest name on the feed,
and you were like, that sounds good.
And you're right.
Please put your clits together.
Can I say that on a public?
Please put your clits and dicks together.
Put your seas in your d's together for our guest, Evan Mulroney.
Thank you so much for being on our two dicks in a mic show.
I am deeply, deeply on it.
So happy to be here.
To be this close to royalty.
Stop.
Oh, shut it.
I won't.
I'm so happy to be complimented.
Somebody who understands hard-boiled egg culture as much as me.
I have three in my car right now, and that's not a joke.
It's not a bit.
Yeah.
Hey, it's hot out today.
Are they cool?
Are they in a cooler?
Just sitting rolling around?
I don't know so much to learn about.
Are you serious?
Of course, yeah, they're refrigerated.
They're counted for.
OK, good.
I take care of my baby.
Stop.
Come on.
I'm doing-- I'm in process right now.
And I think on Thursday or Friday,
I ate 15 eggs.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Yes.
It was mostly for a bit, but also at a certain point,
I thought, how much can you go left?
Are you so far?
Can you go?
And I felt bad.
It's expensive.
And you know the craziest part, too.
Tell us, please.
Only three weeks ago, did I go to Costco?
And I bought two double dozens, we call them in my household.
Double dozens.
I just kind of coined that.
That's 48 eggs.
I bought them.
Yeah, I didn't eat them all in one sitting.
Well, thank God.
But I did leave them in my car overnight.
And then I realized in the morning, I said, fuck.
I don't-- they're not in the fridge.
So I went outside and I found them in there.
And you know what I did?
I let them chill.
And I ate them.
And you're damn right.
I got food poisoning.
Oh, you do, man.
And just a quick two weeks later, these back down
and a dirty baker's dozen.
And dirty baker's dozen is two more than a baker's dozen.
Of course.
Because the math's-- that's your math.
That's a French terminology.
I will say there's a lot of things
that I don't respect about my dad.
Number one is that I had him over for breakfast one time.
I'm making myself four eggs.
I said, how many eggs do you want?
My dad said one.
Why even-- why grab a pan if you're going to eat one egg?
I hope you started shaking him and said, dad, wake up.
Wake up, man.
One egg?
It's a new day.
There's so many things I'm humiliated about for my dad,
but that is pretty high up there.
You're going to hate me.
I don't eat eggs.
At all.
But that's better than requesting one.
OK, actually, yeah.
I agree.
Zero.
Hard zero is better than one.
Is it your money or none?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's kind of my mentality on life.
Yeah.
Too much or nothing.
Yeah.
Zero or a hundred.
Yeah.
There's no one between me.
Which is-- which is-- which is also crazy,
because I also believe that there's
such a lack of nuance in the world.
And I do mostly inhibit a grace base.
Yeah.
Right.
Whoa.
This is way more--
This is way more-- this is way more-- this is way too much.
It's so interesting what's reset.
You request in the world the beautiful gray areas
that you live in.
But with your own body, it's either 3,000 eggs or none.
Yeah.
Incredible.
I love it.
I think that's really powerful.
I do want to bring up right before we started rolling.
You actually have been the only person
who has ever admired the DVD we have on set, which is Troy.
Well, yeah.
Well, first it was Charlie's Angels.
But then, of course, Troy.
You saw Troy.
OK, tell us about-- are you into--
walk us through when you first saw Troy.
Is it super awakening?
Certainly.
There's many.
And then even more of me, like Troy,
like Achilles getting in the gates of Troy, defeating
my own Homo eroticism and keeping it deep in a closet.
However, Troy-- the first time I saw it
was right after I had my first existential crisis
when I was in like fifth or sixth grade,
because I smoked weed way too early.
Did call the cops for myself.
What?
Wait.
Stop.
You smoked weed in fifth grade?
It was six-- it was early sixth grade.
So basically fifth.
Oh, yeah.
I got to keep my street credit right on this.
And then you got--
Oh, people moving to another late bloomer.
Which won't be tens of weird places to grow up in.
And I can get deep into that lore.
However, yes.
12 years old, I smoked weed and freaked out.
And it was a lot of like, what am I?
What is this?
What is consciousness?
How am I doing this?
Who is this person in the lore?
Yeah, it sucked.
Your soul was starting to just be ripped from your body
and I was going to help you.
I said, what happened to that very charismatic, young,
happy-go-lucky boy with a joy delivery unmatched
to any other little terubic boy?
He was dead.
He was dead the minute that that hash pipe--
[LAUGHTER]
Not a hash pipe.
How did you even find a pipe that y'all--
Of course, it was my mother.
Oh, my God.
I can find a deep, deeply, hippie-rooted family.
And now back to Troy.
Yeah.
I saw Troy and Brad Pitt delivers this line that says,
1,000 years from now, our bones will be dust.
And I thought about that.
And I went, fuck, man.
What is it all for?
Yeah.
And I said, well, easy for you to say, you're a killi's man.
Yeah.
Everyone's going to remember you.
What am I going to do?
I'm from Delaware.
No.
And you're thinking to yourself, what is a legacy?
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
And how do I get in the Odyssey?
Isn't too late.
At this point.
Not the movie.
Not the movie.
For Nolan, he's a nobody.
Right.
No one's ever heard of the guy.
This is 2006.
Interstellar isn't even begun yet.
It has been born.
Wow.
What's the point of even watching movies?
It's not.
We haven't even gone to space yet.
That's a people.
And we're old.
And I was-- I remember watching that part of the movie
with a friend, and I said, hey, man, you got to go.
Yes.
I was freaking out.
I was like, I don't want to just see me like this.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, I'm serious.
Yeah, and I was so scared.
And I think that's more me giving credit to Brad Pitt's
wonderful act.
Yeah, he's so--
Where you can make a 12-year-old boy go when
am I living for?
Oh, for sure.
And I say all of this in jest, because it's
famously not a very--
I think it's incredible.
Oh, it gets incredible.
Critically, it's not.
But in the hearts of queers everywhere.
I agree.
I think that this is actually one of my queer
awakenings as well.
And what aspect of that?
It's Brad Pitt with long hair.
Like a little butch.
Like a little butch.
There's something feminine about him.
Yeah.
Cross over into feeling like titanic Leonardo DiCaprio.
Yeah.
A lot of lesbian awakenings.
Sure.
But I like that this Troy feels like one of those places,
two where there's the overlap between young queer boys
and young queer women.
Yes.
And going, oh, it's happening.
Something is deeply happening.
For sure.
When he's on the boat and he says, take it, it's yours.
And he twists that knife up.
And mortality, you mean?
Oh, my god.
I was like, let's rock and roll.
I am in fourth grade. I am chubby and I'm like I'm going. Yeah, take me. I'm saying I'll take anything. Yeah, you want it exactly? Yes, and
I start crying
Yeah, the movie was so
Deeply embedded and also the you know him and Patrick's of course, yeah, very home all about it
Very like yeah, brother. Yeah, you're my cousin, right. Oh, we all knew someone's going on
Did you read that Madeline Miller's song Achilles? Yeah, I think it's beautiful. I think they kind of hinted at it a little bit
But not for sure. Yeah, we could dig deeper. There's a yeah, there's that there's um
I don't know if you saw the DVD extras, but there's a deleted scene where Patrick's comes up right before they storm the gates and he goes
Hey, I just cleaned out. I'm ready to bottom for you. Oh, we did and they had to cut it. Of course they did for time. Damn it. That would have been I'm super clean
I'm well-adjusted, I'm quite as hell
He says my busses throbbing. Yeah, so listen cousin any wings out. Yeah, can we just drop this old cousin thing?
Can we just fuck up all these guys? You guys I hate to bring this up
But is it Bussie or Bussie because I've been saying Bussie this is for my whole life. Bussie's cool. Bussie's the French
I love Bussie school. Yeah, whatever you want to do
Some more French. Yeah, fuck. There's a famous last name. There's I forget who he is, but he's famous in
Canada. He's a famous Frank and
He his last name is Debussy and
He'll do it. In fact, I learned that in Montreal. Where are we met? Yes, we did meet in Canada, cute Montreal surprisingly more French than you would think
Yeah, I agree
Everyone's speaking. Yeah, I remember you getting up to play and going what the hell is all these
Me uncultured as fuck. Yeah going there. See
I'll never show any
Merced that's a play on words. I like it. You actually really saved me
I was at a party where people were being kind of weird to me and really I saved me
Which was very cool. Well, that's so funny. I
You you approached a Olivia and I my beautiful fiance. Yeah. Hot fiance. Yeah. Let's just oh, yeah. Oh my god
Oh, no, I show any pictures before. Just as tall as me. It's incredible. You guys have like a really cool
aura to you. Thank you, which is like it draws it draws a young dig in. Well, that means the world to us
And what really means the world to us is how visible we felt by you that night
And you approached us with the same energy as like the the friendlies kid at summer camp who's like
That's right. You're going to love the diving boy
Check this out and the first thing you said to us
Or the first thing you said to me, I think you said you two are by right and and let me was like. Yeah, yes
Yes, and it's something that
We've both struggled with of like just like claiming it because it's like
Speaking of living in this nuanced world. Yeah, you know of
Maintaining a gray area of of bisexuality. It's
It's never good enough for people to say you're by because it's like what yeah, you're gay, right?
That's what it means for a guy and then for a woman, of course, it's they're straight, but
We felt so like
Kindred spirits to you and so like you we've you you you gave us the same feeling of relief of like. Oh cool
This is nice. Yeah, there's no like I have to explain myself because at JFL it's all like
I got a good bit. Yes, shut the hell up. Yeah, it can save it for the stage nerd
It could be tough with a lot of comedians in one place
I felt very at home right away when I saw you guys. Yeah, but I also my opening line to everyone is so you're by, right?
Ah, oh, and McDonald's an ordering, so you're bad
You wouldn't believe how many times I'm right
Yeah, and they all open up like this and go yeah, you know what that actually means a lot to me
You've got so many people to come out. Yeah, before that, I was completely sure
And I said no, and I never thought about it like that
I have sex with a bunch of men
Before this I'm deeply obsessed. I like I really you guys are you're you're so funny. I had already seen
You chug a thousand eggs online doing splits doing so many things
And then yeah to tall gorgeous like
very obviously
Kind bisexual in in front of me. I was like let's fucking dance and we did and we danced a lot you dance
We danced a lot. I'm so jealous. Yeah, okay, so you go back you do whatever you want
Yeah, I'm gonna leave you guys alone. I'm gonna go to stadium
It's gonna be good for everybody. Yeah, I mean, and what happens about you? I was never here
I was never here is the best thing that you can say in this situation
No, that fucking by that fucking ass. Yeah, it's by ratio
Honestly, you know what yeah, I'm gonna ask you a question. Yeah, okay. Yes. We go out of order. Yeah, I love
Yeah, I love that you also read the email. We say most people nobody to read the email and then they go text me the address
Also, your fiance was like who produced your podcast. I said we do
Hello, hello
Two cards
Oh my god, thank you
That's awesome. I think the only boy we've had in studio. You're the first ever man in studio
Take that Joe bud. I know you wanted him. Yep. Easy. Easy slippery fell this clock is literally breaking
Okay, this is my question. Yeah, ask us what is often times when I
Identify bisexual. It's after the fact because they told me that and I go. Hmm. I thought something totally different
but how
It seems like and I know you do
Every time it's employee and anywhere you go. Yeah, Rachel especially. Yeah, but like what what are those
Qualification that it's like that's a by person
God if I yeah, I was gonna say like it's big vibes. You can just are you talking about men or women all of it either
Because you know for both of us. Yeah
At the same time Rachel went by sexuals. Yes, and we weren't even in the door yet
We were gonna like succeed you away. Yeah, you're height and mustache. Yeah, our both
Yeah, baby bisexual. Yeah, all right cool. I'll take that. I could tell I mean
Not just you two in particular, but I also when I'm doing stand-up and with Ken and I are doing our shows
There will be guy girl couples and
Sometimes they're straight and sometimes they're by but you can almost tell
Immediately because the way that straight people interact with each other when they're going out places is inherently a little bit more
performative. Yeah, I can see men who are straight when they date women
feeling like
Sometimes they won't like look at me
In the same way where like a bisexual man a queer man a queer people we like clock each other
We like see each other more. Yeah, and I'm feeling like
Hey, John it's getting worse. I swear to God this clock is pro-biteration
Shut up about it already. I just like I can get it. I agree. It is more of like a vibe
So like and if there are there is also like a lot of times to like
I can sense
By men also laugh harder. Yeah, they are great laugh. They're really good laugh for us
And there's like a sense of wanting to connect. I feel like there's like a way that like queer men
Want to connect in a way that like a lot of times straight men are not quite doing that and so I I just open to it
Fall never arrives all at once
Verse the air that in the light and slowly the things you love begin to find each other
A jacket meets a dress a hoodie slips beneath a blazer an old cap finds a new scarf
Because you don't simply step into the season you create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall
Find fall your way at Ross
Welcome back fricking freck
Welcome to the jungle ABC Wednesdays
Abbott is back. Thank you. Now we can finally turn this up

It's going great. Abbott Elementary
Anything can happen in the jungle
Frank guys all new Wednesdays on ABC and stream next day on Hulu
Yeah, it is an openness and a vibe and they're hot. Yeah, queer guy girl couples are always hot
Yeah, yeah
Always like period. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right. Yeah, so it's mostly just hotness and laughing. Yeah, hotness and laughing
Yeah, yeah, that's no, that's that's a really great way of looking at and
And the shorts I would say oh my god. I would say the size of your shorts. I'm sure it's pretty insane
But I got these these are really good brand. I forget what they're called
But of course it would be found them of course she has an eye for these things
And um, the inseam is insane. It's great. I also I was I was complimenting your body to your fiance
And she's so sweetly was like he works really hard. Oh and that made me feel so I was like
Yes, she wasn't always like
He struggled for a long time. It is really bad for a long time. It's not natural
I would die if my wife said that
- Oh my god, that's so funny.
- No, that's fine dream though.
As I work very hard to look average.
- Yeah.
- And I want people to know I'm fucking out there,
chugging eggs, running marathons,
like lifting.
- For sure.
- Low weights, but high rep count.
A lot.
- You have to.
- If you're a attack, if your goal is hypertrophy.
- And it is.
- And that's the only way to get there.
- That's the key to success.
- When I ask, what does that word mean?
- Hypertrophy means exhausting the muscle.
- Got it.
- Like when you're shaking.
- Yeah, for sure.
Not necessarily going to shaking,
but going towards, yeah, I guess so.
Like, you don't have to walk away shaking.
- Okay, well, if I do a rep, I will walk away shake for sure.
- Well good, hypertrophy won't come that hard.
And that's nice.
- I became a certified personal trainer in 2020.
- Oh, shit.
- And I only heard that word written
and never said out loud before.
It looks like hydropophie when you read it inside your head.
- You're not inside your head, that's so funny.
- That's why I feel after a night of drinking.
I wake up hydropophie.
(laughing)
I'm so hydropophie by the way.
(laughing)
- Fucking hell.
Okay, tell me, obviously, there's so many things that you do.
You're an actor and also you've come across,
you're very funny.
How did you start to become this online?
How did this happen?
What's going on here?
You're talking about the character.
- I'm talking about the character.
- And is it a character?
Or is it just a different version of yourself?
- I truly don't know.
I have the lines blurred.
- The lines are blurred and it's my life's work
is a performance piece.
(laughing)
- It's amazing.
- Yeah, it's quite powerful.
- He works really hard.
- You know what it started?
- The first video I ever did with the guy
that just walks up the camera was--
- It's incredible, by the way.
I just want you to know
what's the funniest thing I've seen on the internet.
- Who can see this?
- I'm actually genuinely, I found this year,
what years ago now, you're so fucking good at this.
- I got to brag that I met you two, Kimmy.
- Yeah.
- I was really fucking serious.
- It's so good.
- Well, thank you, that is so freaking kind.
Thank you.
It feels kind of undeserved, considering that
it started with just like, the first one I ever did of that
was, the premise was like a guy thinks Ash Wednesday
is doing lines of Ash.
- Polarious.
- Polarious.
- And then I was like, oh, that this lines up
with how people like think of people that look like me,
of like in this kind of like action figure,
him bow like totally full of hubris.
And then I was like, oh, right, yeah.
This is like a set piece, my body.
'Cause I don't feel like I look like this, you know?
I'm a big fat hog in my heart,
and I will die a big fat hog.
And I love it.
- And that's what's so crazy is that in my heart,
I look exactly like you.
- No, no.
- Like when I close my eyes, I'm expecting to open them
to see your physique on me and when I don't,
I'm like, that's insane.
- Yeah, 'cause you got a lot of doggy.
- And you know what hypertrophy means.
- He's gonna say.
- So dull.
- Right, yeah.
- I'm fucking out there every day.
And then inside your heart is like a big fat, fatty,
two by four.
- Yeah, for sure.
- Interesting.
- It's still like this college football player.
I played college balls, three, 10.
And I forced myself to get that big.
So it was like, even funnier.
'Cause then it was like this, like, oh, yeah.
This is like, sure, it's getting me a free college education.
But it's also kind of a bit.
- Right.
- So you've been using your body for laughs.
- Oh my God.
- For years.
- Wait, what were you at three, 10, linebacker?
- Oh no, God no.
I was a offensive lineman.
I was a center.
- Oh wow.
- The fellow that hikes the ball.
- Yeah.
- I don't mean doing so.
- Very cool.
- No, I don't know even know what a linebacker is.
- No.
- That's so cool because I know that that's face down ass up.
If I remember correctly, he gets a little raunchy on the line.
- Yes.
- A little tickle.
- Hot.
- Yeah, I know.
Go figure.
And I mean, football's a homo erotic.
- Did you know that you were queer at this point when you were in college playing football
with that man's hand right on your back?
- As he crosses his legs.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
- When did I know?
- It was probably, well, actually speaking of that, I remember, I think the first time
I clocked myself was, again, I was 12, I was in that same room where I had a panic attack
about Troy.
And I remember coming across the Liza Monella special, Liza with his Z, and I remember
like stopping on it and knowing she's like a gay icon at 12, and I'm watching it.
And she finishes a number and I go, "Wow, that's one hell of a performer."
And I went like, "Oh my God, what the hell did that mean?"
Well, certainly it can't be me.
I got football practice later.
- Right.
- And then all through college, I would say like, "Man, if it wasn't for having sex with
men, I'd be so gay, I'd be so gay."
And then I granted myself the grace to have sex with men when I was in Chicago and my
20s, and "What didn't you know of?" and then here we are.
And then it's been just like going back to the original thesis statement of like living
in this gray space and feeling seen.
It was so like, what bisexual is like so nondescript and it leaves out people and it's not specific
enough, but it's also not broad enough and also like hate labels and blah, blah, blah.
And really recently, I've just been like, "No, it's easy, it's going to went to it."
And it's also third letter.
- Yeah.
- You know?
- I think sometimes biphobia can come from the community itself as well, for sure.
- Yeah, for sure.
- You're talking about bi people specifically?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- It was hard for me to shake, you know, of this like, well, if I'm not performing my
queerness, if I'm not hooking up with men like, "How queer am I, how bisexual am I?"
And it's taken a lot, it truly has taken a lot of therapy of being like, "No, it's like,
it's just, it's simply who you are."
And it is what you do and it's like how you spend your time and the things you consume
and the people you hang out with, and it's, if it's intentional, if your identity is an
intentional one, or even unintentionally.
- Yeah.
It's a part of who you are.
- It is just who you are.
- Yeah.
- There's tons of unassuming queer people that it's not my personality, and it's also
is a detail of my personality, that's the only thing, and it becomes pretty all consuming
at times, and all like, it, I mean, really it comes back to like, "Oh boy, I hope people,
I hope I'm enough for people, I hope I'm good enough for people."
- Yeah.
- Who would have thought a guy that looks like this is sensitive?
- I know.
- No, I know.
- I know, isn't it this is breaking?
- No, I fucking love him.
- This is Biden's America.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
- So muscular men, I didn't intend to do that.
But yeah, it's been, it's been, how did we get here?
- Oh, yeah.
- There's been so many.
- Yeah.
- I do wanna know, what came first, chicken or egg, splits or knowing you were by?
Great question.
- Ah!
- Really good question, yeah.
- Back to the first time I got down in the splits, said, "Hello!"
(laughing)
- It was simultaneous.
- That's a great question.
- I can't believe you can split.
- It's incredible.
- Yeah, I know.
- It's all around athletic, because that's more than just brute force.
That's flexibility.
- It's flexibility.
- Your, your.
- It's patience.
- A well-rounded athlete.
- Yeah.
- Except for the whole point of part that I wasn't that good at football.
(laughing)
- Got okay, yeah.
- That part I missed now on, I played a little bit in college, look at my, I like tape.
But I think, certainly, certainly, splits came first, because it was more like,
- Okay.
- Using your body.
- Are we gonna flexible?
Can you do this?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, and it was like a joke.
- Yeah.
- It was like, oh, this is funny.
- Cause it is funny.
- In fact, I do it in a split.
What does that sell?
- Something so funny, but a man doing a split.
- I don't say anyone doing a splits is for me.
- That's an action.
I'm gonna be laughing.
- It's a reaction.
I don't know if I'm laughing all the time.
If I'm doing the splits from Love Island, I'm talking about if you're at a strip club.
I'm not laughing.
- Oh, yeah.
- A match line.
- I'm tipping.
- I'm tipping.
- Yeah.
- No, there's some split in that woman to the splits too, for Lisa Navidad.
- For sure.
- And that's what I mean.
- But that I actually, we were at Jumbo's clown realm, Christmas Eve.
- Sure.
- Yeah.
- On a company outing.
- The Christmas spirit is alive.
- Company outing.
- Wow.
- Yeah, come on.
- Love that.
- That's all.
- This is a Christmas party for us.
- It was a Christmas party for us.
- Oh, I know.
- Hey, we have an LLC, all right?
- No, you got some serious tax for us.
- Please.
- Please.
- Okay, wait.
So you did answer the splits, because that was kind of my biggest question of the day.
- Oh, that is, yeah.
It is profound.
It is a profound question.
- It's huge.
- Yeah.
And then I kept doing it.
- Yeah.
- It's once you discover it, then it goes like, oh, shit.
- People like those.
- Oh, you don't want to get burned out on it.
- Yeah.
- Just a minute to get some fun.
- But then it'll come back around to be funny again, when almost like Love Island, Kenzie.
It wasn't funny for a little bit.
It was like, okay, this is getting gratuitous.
- And then it came around.
- It's like when SpongeBob roost his pants and then gets a laugh for it, and then he does
it over and over again.
- Yeah, shit.
- And then that's the lesson that we all have to learn.
- Yeah.
- That is so powerful.
- Yeah.
- It really is.
And power repetition.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
You just watched that episode.
- Kind of like I'm always just watching that episode.
- You were sitting on that.
- I'm always doing that.
I think you're so funny.
I think it is very cool when people claim who they are, especially like for the bisexual
community.
A bisexual man, you fucking, and a huge. - Just come out, guys. - A huge one.
- Just do it. - It's awesome.
- It's hit every camera. - Get into Rachel's, get into mine. - It's awesome.
- It's awesome. - You guys are awesome.
- No, that fucking rocks and you're so fucking funny.
- Thank you. - And we're deeply obsessed with you.
And we also know, so you're an actor.
- Yes. - So Kenny is obsessed
with everything that you've done, obviously.
But I'm obsessed with a lot of things about him trying
so hard to not just objectify you and it's really hard for me.
'Cause I shouldn't be doing that.
But there's everything about-- - Do you objectify me?
- Yeah, yeah, please. - Everything about your body.
- No, I know you're worth it in this world.
- Yeah, yeah. - You're a fucking rock.
- That's why I'll be up in "Planet Fitness."
- Yeah.
- What planet fitness?
- The purple one? - Yeah, don't.
- Yeah, fuck.
- I was the "Planet Fitness" guy for a second.
- Okay, this is what I wanted to know.
Because as-- - Oh, really?
- Yeah, you're like doing real acting.
Like you are really legitimate, like on-hole shows.
- On really good shows. - Yeah.
- It's really good stuff, but I know that along the way,
you don't just end up on only murders in the building.
I know that along the way,
you have to do silly, stupid acting jobs.
And I would like to know about some
of the silly, stupid acting jobs that you have done.
Or other things to stay in LA.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh, right, right, right.
- This is a brand new segment called "I Can't Believe I Did That."
- I can't believe I did that.
Well, here's another one to tie back
into a queer origin story.
- Yes. - Before I was out,
I wanna say this was like maybe a month before,
a couple of months before the pandemic.
And it was definitely after I booked my first acting gig,
which was Fargo, but I was still super broke.
So one of my many jobs in Chicago,
and I've had a bunch of jobs out here too,
but was I was a go-go dancer at this place
called "The Lucky Horseshoe" in Chicago,
and boys town, all my Chicagoans know.
We all love it.
It's a great place. - I'm so glad
you were able to go to answer it.
- This rock. - I am too,
because it was one of the most liberating experiences
of my life. - Yeah, wow.
- Were you in a cage or just up on us?
- No, none were big enough.
- Yeah, you put a cage on it.
- It was a wide load, we'll look at it on stage.
Remember, a wide, look at me that.
- I do not let it down. - I will not let it down.
- You just pro-body shave me that.
- I did not do that. - I will love that.
- And it was. - Are there videos of this?
- No, no, that's highly prohibiting that,
but you gotta go.
- Leah, find a video and fly it up there.
- In fact, someone just DM me who I met on my first shift,
who had seen me at a show that I did in Chicago,
which was about a gay bath house.
It was a musical about a gay bath house
called Steam Works the Musical.
- Stop. - He came up to me and I was dancing.
- Can you sing? - Can you sing?
- I can carry a tune.
- Yeah. - Fuck. - Leah.
- That was great. (laughing)
- Leah clips that for me.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- It's a new inch into the show.
I can carry a tune if you teach me how to sing the tune.
- Okay. - And we'll leave it at that.
- Okay. - Which I will.
- Please don't ask me. - I will sing a man. - I will sing a man.
(laughing)
- I knock down every camera while I kick butt change.
- I think more botches should do musicals
with bisexual men.
- Yeah. - What are we doing?
- Chicago. - Chicago.
- I was just about to say Chicago.
- Chicago. - Chicago.
- Yeah, I would play Roxy. - Of course.
- Obviously. - Yes.
- But I was a go-to dancer for maybe like,
not like a handful of shifts because I had to quit
because of what improv?
- Of course. - The God that is,
that we all must worship in Chicago.
And I got up there and I shook my little ass
for a bunch of horny, horny men.
And I didn't know what I was doing my first shift.
I remember someone paid me to dance on one of their friends.
It was this woman that owned a gay bar of the street
and she was like, go dance my friend here.
Here's 40 bucks.
- Oh great. - I was like, all right.
And I was like, I was like kind of away from,
he was like here, if his knee was here,
I was like, what's up? - Stop.
- And she like pushed behind me.
She was like, go rub up on him.
- Yeah. - And I was like,
oh, right, right, right.
- So that's what I'm supposed to do. - That's what I'm supposed to do.
- Yeah, it was like a fairy godmother.
- Fall never arrives all at once.
Find fall your way at Ross.
- Welcome back, frickin' freck.
- Welcome to the jungle, ABC Wednesdays.
Abbott is back.
- It's gonna be the best year yet.
- Thank you, now we can finally turn this up.
(screaming)
- And everyone's going wild.
Don't think you run this school, but you don't.
- It's going great.
Abbott Elementary.
- Anything can happen in the jungle.
Freck, guys.
- All new Wednesdays on ABC and stream next day on Hulu.
- Grind on him, you're like, just look at,
and you did say what's up.
- What's up?
- What's up?
- But like cool though, like a cool guy.
- Cool, what's up.
- And it was also like,
I remember being in the locker room,
smelled awful, such a gross locker room.
But a lot of beautiful men also.
But there are a lot of, there are straight guys.
There were queer guys.
There were pansexual guys.
There were gay guys.
And I was just one of the guys, you know.
- And in a jog strap, shaking your ass.
- You damn right, and getting felt up.
I made a lot of money.
And I didn't have the same, I had a large frame,
but I didn't have the same body.
And I think I would do better if I went back.
'Cause I'm better equipped.
But I will say, in queer spaces,
I think that there's more types of attraction
in the queer world than there is in the straight world.
- For sure.
- You know, straight people can find themselves
the only liking what they think other straight people like.
And I think queer people like whatever the fuck they like.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So it's beefy, you know what I mean?
There's more nuance within the hell, yeah.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, exactly.
- And I was doing that noise a lot when I was dancing to guys.
- What's up?
- Yeah, I was doing a lot of practice.
It's just new to you.
I really appreciate if you stop clicking.
- With the wet clicking.
- He's no one.
- He's no one.
- He's on a request in a wet click.
(laughing)
- Oh, not that.
- That's your middle name.
- Oh, great show.
- He called me wet click for not to stop it.
- Oh yeah.
- I'm upset.
- Okay, sorry.
- I did wanna bring up, so your character,
you have like, it's a very intense hitting on.
Sometimes the person behind the camera.
- Sure.
- Have you been hit on like that before?
Is that where you got that?
- Or?
(laughing)
- That's such a great question.
I must have in my dreams, by me.
- Yeah.
- I wish.
- Yeah.
- If you think about that, if you had a clone of yourself.
- I think that's about all the time.
- All the time.
- I get that.
- I'm very intrigued by it.
I think I'd have to kill my clone.
I do feel, it's funny 'cause we're so different.
You would fuck your clone.
- Yeah.
- And then I would be too afraid of what they're thinking.
I would have to kill her.
- Wow.
- Why don't you think it would be the same thoughts as you?
- I fear that it would be the same thoughts,
and she's already thinking she wants to kill me.
(laughing)
That's so scary.
- It's scary.
(laughing)
- What's your sign?
- I feel like a cancer.
- Oh, sure.
- We're both cancers.
- What's your sign?
- Wow, Aquarius.
- Oh, fascinating.
- That's my mom's an Aquarius.
- Really?
- January of February.
- I have.
- Cool.
- I don't know the name, it's Kamalaure.
- Are you, would you fuck your clone?
Is it really asking you?
- Yeah, for sure.
- It's like not even a question.
- Oh, yeah.
- That's not even a question.
- Yeah.
- See what's up.
- That's his sole purpose in this world.
- It's yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's gonna be my fuck pup.
- I'm upset, I'm upset.
- I would love to just walk down the street with him
and stride.
I know what I'd also really like to just hug him and say,
"You're a pretty good guy."
- You did a good job.
- That's sweet.
- But then murder him too.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, 'cause, yeah.
- Would you not feel guilty killing your clone?
- No.
- Wow, 'cause it's a part of me.
- Yeah.
- So no.
- So you can get to do what you want.
- Yeah.
- I don't know how many--
- Throw choice.
I can kill my clone.
(laughing)
- Is there a word for killing your twin?
- You know how there's like--
- Murder.
- Ah.
- That's murder.
(laughing)
- Twin and clone are very different.
- Yeah, that's the word.
- That's just straight murder.
- Sure, yeah, yeah, it's not okay.
There's no weird colors inside.
- What you had to do?
- Yeah, I did a lot of catering.
- Sure.
- I did a lot of catering at weddings
and some celebrity weddings.
- Whoa.
- And that was super fun.
But I had one celebrity wedding that was very,
it was up in Malibu, Cliffside.
So, overlooking the ocean.
- Beautiful.
- And I remember I was on shrimp duty that day.
- Damn, lucky.
- No, I hate shrimp.
So, and they knew that.
I think they did it to fuck with me.
- High protein low cow.
- And they knew I wouldn't steal it too.
'Cause some people will steal the apps on the way out.
They'll eat a couple while they're sharing 'em.
- I would never.
- You would.
You would eat the whole tray.
You would eat the whole tray of shrimp, yeah.
- Well, first of all, I don't eat any meat.
- Oh.
You wait, your vegetarian.
- The Lord continues.
- You don't even eat seafood.
- Nah.
- What?
- I'm watching Top Chef and boy, how'd he, in my start and go.
- Of course, that would be pretty good.
- How long have you been, how long have you been a vegetarian?
- Wait, stop.
No, no, no, we're talking shrimp talk.
- No, the shrimp can wait.
- The shrimp can wait.
- How long have you been vegetarian?
- Eight years.
- How are you getting your protein?
- Eggs, eggs only?
- Bacon, I thought you were saying.
(laughing)
- Hey Rachel, you kinda pissed me off.
(laughing)
- Hey, remember that whole fucking egg shit?
We're gonna, it's not a fucking bit.
- It's not a fucking thing.
It's really hard for me.
I'm worried about the egg content.
No, no, normally it's usually just like six eggs and a bunch of egg whites a day and
that's one meal with other stuff.
Are you doing macoon?

This is we're getting away from it. Yeah, whatever this wouldn't okay, so first step physical distance
There's a bench so I don't need other
Yeah, this sounds like very fatherly advice. It's not bad advice. Give her space. Give her space. Yeah join a different team
Abandon your friends. Let her have move on move on. Have you guys ever been on a team or whatever group of people where you
Do have this tension with somebody, but you're like we can't do this here. I've had a business with somebody. Oh my god
No, I tried. Oh, she wasn't into it. Don't know why
We've kissed. Yeah, we've kissed a bunch. Oh, beautiful. Yeah, but it was a celebratory
Yeah, it's like a congratulations on being so hot. Yeah, it's like a French thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm a boys
I think that this person I would say timing could have been a thing because it sounds like they she said she was newly trans
So maybe it is just give her a little time to like kind of feel more into her own space
For sure and then try again
Yeah, I will say you do have an obligation if you're the person who wants less
Yeah, and the person who wants more was like I don't want to do this anymore because I do want more than you can give
It is on you
To chill it out. Yeah, and I know it's gonna be hard with the voice that you have. Yeah, yeah
Yeah, but I would say it's it's sometimes easier for people to be more casual than for other people
Yeah, and so if this person is expressed to you that they do want more and you want less try to flirt less
Don't sit next to them on the bench and try to like keep it platonic, which there are ones
I want a whole space for there's people that exist in the world that have a really hard time being platonic
I'm one of them. Yeah, but it's on you to like respect that person's boundaries because they're gonna fall in love with you
See my advice is to just be in a relationship with this person. Oh my god. I love that. Yeah, like open your heart to what
relationship. Yeah, as in like a like a I know this person wants casual, but I'm like hey being in a relationship rocks try it like in their mind
Or actually ask this person like go for it. Yeah, I think go for it. Yeah, but that's man. I love a relationship
And try to keep your chemistry just to the field. I'm assuming it's soccer. Yeah, for sure
And it's okay to flirt with your friends. Yeah, it just because your flirting doesn't mean you have to make it romantic
Yeah, love just because it's just because you're not a flirt and don't know what's important. Yeah, it's good
Flirt and don't mean squirting that's great at all. Yeah, for sure and also new merch
