Sydnee Washington Returns

This podcast episode features a candid conversation between Caleb and Sydney, blending personal anecdotes, humor, and reflections on life. They start by discussing Sydney’s chaotic habits, like eating candy in the morning, and the advice to see a doctor when something feels off, highlighting the privilege of health insurance. They delve into relationships, arguing that sex shouldn’t dominate—Caleb shares his contentment with quiet moments alongside his girlfriend, while Sydney expresses a desire to move toward asexuality, valuing emotional connection over physical intimacy. Sydney recounts a transformative lesbian cruise in Alaska, where older women’s stories about coming out late in life moved her deeply, reinforcing her pride and authenticity. They touch on ageism, with Caleb planning to age naturally and Sydney hoping to remain a sex symbol, while critiquing the cosmetic surgery culture driven by high-definition cameras. The conversation shifts to friendship dynamics, with Sydney wanting to set boundaries and stop overcommitting, while Caleb emphasizes showing up for true friends. They also discuss the pitfalls of celebrity, including fans interrupting personal moments like dancing or crying, and praise Queen Latifah for her grace. Caleb reflects on his poor upbringing as a grounding force, valuing people over fame. The episode ends with a trivia game and plugs for Sydney’s podcast and Edinburgh show, wrapping up with repeated ads for Apple Pay and Sunglass Hut.

you're doing i think you're doing really well i feel like you're in a much better place than a couple years ago when i came the first time to so true i was fresh off a a breakup i just left la i was talking shit about everything and everybody i was in a i was like bring back de blasio like i was saying anything i was saying anything i and i want to apologize for a lot of the things that i said and now i'm i'm in a good place i am yeah i am i really like i am i the thing is is that the world is on fire but i'm looking to the little light like you and my friends and you know the dodo i go to

yeah it's got like a you know a burberry scarf on like they got a family like it's those those things where you see this little thing that is doing bad dodo is like no there's there's there's light at the end of the tunnel and it reminds me of like if that could happen you know for this beaver then there's hope for me as well yeah yeah yeah this is a channel of some sort uh yes yes it's on uh instagram it's on it's on tiktok it's on youtube it's yeah get into it i really might yeah there's otters there's capybara whatever you want they got owls there was an owl that was found in a in a train and it was overheated and it came out and it looked a little wonky they were like this this is a little wonky and they were like this is this owl should be gone but it's still here and they're like he can't he can't really hear or see but he's alive okay and um they they got him with a another owl that's like older and kind of out of it as well and they're like besties yeah of course yeah and they'll try to talk to one of them and they're just like and i said i relate to this is just disassociating you put these two fucked up owls together yes they made a beautiful friendship yeah that's us yes it is no you're you're way more you know that's me and you know you're way more you know that's me and you know that's me and you in a big way dude that reminds me i hooked up with a guy a couple weeks ago not the not the owls out of it you're like this reminds me of somebody i've had sex it's the video suggestions okay it's the video suggestions i hooked up with this guy we had a we had a fun date and we went back to his place and and hooked up and he lives in la and you should have started with that i know okay and then uh yesterday he sent me a a link to a video and he goes this made me think of you i should have sent it in the moment this made me think of you the other day i sent it in the moment but sending it now and i click on the link it's like a 27 minute video essay that's like what is the meaning of life and i was thinking back on the date and i'm like what did we get into that this made you think because i'm like i thought we had a nice time but i was like what did we what did i put across that made you and i was happy about getting the video i liked it that is the kind of stuff i'm into i was like a 27 minute video essay that's the kind of follow-up i'm getting well because you know you're very you're very heady what is this cerebral like you yeah is that you that's not the way you know no i'm just listening i'm just listening to you i'm taking this in i'm taking this in i feel like you can have really good deep conversations that it's about you know everything and anything so i think maybe in the date you kind of maybe we went off to that yeah you're very funny but you could get deep like what else do we have to offer yeah other than jokes people like to tell me their problems i think i know that happened on the date he was telling me some of his problems it's not a date if somebody's not trauma dumping over the the breadsticks you know people are really apologetic when they do that and i go i would i far prefer this to stupid bullshit tell me your problems let's get into it because i've also by the way i've got solutions you are we can fix this up we can fix this up you're a type a person and i like that do you guys think i'm type a i think you're type a okay i think the way we were supposed to do we were supposed to go on a trip we were supposed to go to New Mexico or Mexico City or something like that and you had you know the Airbnb the flights all that stuff you were on it the emails I trust myself yes I trust myself to get things done right yeah well you also were like okay Sydney and Liza's on a chat these bitches not doing nothing so that that was one thing you were like I have to come with a plan because we can't rely on them so there was that but also I wanted to say you said that you would never go on a girls trip or something like that and then I saw you with girls on a trip what trip? did you go to Ireland or Scotland you know what Dublin I did I was in the same city as some girls I stayed separate I stayed separate I'm not doing the big house with girls anymore I don't know I'm not doing the big house with girls anymore it's over I do I love women I have a lot of respect for women I want to shout out all women right now I am shouting out all women shout out to you girls thank you for everything that you do in the world you can't stay in the same house as me on vacation it's a mess why? there's attitude problems there's hair dryers everywhere there's clothes everywhere it's 45 minutes after we said we'd get out the door to get out the door just to go to lunch just to go to lunch we're coming back for a nap before we do the evening stuff I love women I have so much respect for women we're not staying in the same house on vacation anymore I'll be in my own hotel room I will see you at the plans you know I hate when you're right cause you're right you're fucking right you really are and we're too grown we're too grown and by the way I was never going on trips with gay guys that was so far out of the realm of possibility I was never gonna go the gay guy vacations where it's like we're going to we're going to cocksuck island and we're gonna fire island you mean? yeah well whatever they call it yeah we're going to cocksuck island and we're all gonna stay in a 25 person house and everyone's bringing K yes I was never involved in that so I was willing to trust women due to my massive respect for them and then I lived with some of them on trips and I said it's a different situation it's the thing is when we all come together right that's where it becomes a mess if you do one on one if me and you went on a trip yeah you can deal with one mess yes six messes that's too much me and my friend Allie can go on trips together we can stay in the same place one woman at a time I'm a one woman at a time guy I'm very conservative you would be an amazing as a straight guy amazing I know it why don't you do it I know it because I you know there's varying responses when I say this kind of stuff but I'm not attracted to women and that upsets people they get really upset I don't want to have sex with women why do I not want to have sex with women yeah I can't get hard about it yeah it just doesn't make me hard at all that's an amazing answer okay it doesn't make me hard at all that's valid which I have in common with a lot of straight guys I've learned to hear my girls tell it I'm not the only guy feeling that way I mean the thing is I mean what is hard you know what is wet say that say that I feel like we're so in a in a time where everything is like so sexual like we gotta fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck we gotta be with all these people and it's just like I'm done I did all that I'm I've juiced that out and so it's no longer about the oh fuck thing fuck me it's like what do we have together I'm trying to get to where you are if we can't have sex then then what yeah how do you satisfy me not even just like mentally just like existence how do you we be together and I'm content you and I I've actually come to your house and if I could just just be in a corner on the couch scrolling and you somewhere you know doing what you do on the phone you know your meetings and what not I could do that all day I could literally do that and feel like we had a solid day I have that with all my friends it's the romance part of it that becomes becomes trouble something and see that's why you gotta look you gotta look in and say that could be romantic yeah yeah cause that's what I do with my girlfriend that's what I do she'll be on the phone working or what not and I'll be scrolling I'm like damn this is whoo I love this relationship yeah you know and then occasionally you know we have sex and I'm like this is nice as well occasionally but if we don't occasionally yes yes hey you guys talk about you gotta have sex three times a week you're you're not working enough you got a lot of time on your hands you're having sex three times a week somebody's unemployed somebody's got a lot of free time somebody's not doing enough sudoku if you're having sex three times a week yeah having sex five times in one night bitch you are not dehydrated I am I'm not doing five times you gotta first of all I'm doing one time we're good Sydney can't be having sex five times a night she has candy to eat in the morning exactly she's gotta get up and go to the candy store yo you never just like finish having sex and then there's just like some sour powers right now you're like something to take the edge off come on come on some of those little rips sour candies just straight to the dome I love the rips straight to the dome listen I just got my teeth in order you know a lot of cavities have been filled I have Invisalign I shouldn't even be fucking with candy but I'm like again I need something I need advice yeah I don't care about sex so it's like I need the candy I need the riddle I don't care about sex this is crazy to say on such a wide platform yeah but can you can you get to the point where you've exhausted all of the sexual things you could possibly do that you're at a place where like yeah I did that I'm trying desperately I do think I'm getting close I will say there's been a shift in the last three years where like there are times that I'm like kind of horny and someone cute is messaging me and like willing to come over at the moment and in the past I would have dropped everything I stayed up until three in the morning even though I had to be up at five I'd do anything and now I'm just like there's something that has shifted but I'm not fully where I want to be I'd like to get to complete asexuality that's where you want to get to that would be ideal don't you think life would be amazing I think you take it too far but no shade to the asexuals hey I love the A but no I A shout out to the A shout out to the A but I mean being intimate there's something about that that is also beautiful but the way that they've ran through this like sexual talk to talk you through it the oh let me spit in your mouth like all of this saying it out loud it's kind of giving me the ick like I don't even I don't even really do dirty talk no more I like silence oh nothing hearing nothing oh I'm wet I am slip off slip off the bed okay nothingness is amazing just like cause sometimes somebody will talk too much and you're like actually let me call the car let me get up out of here see I don't I can't do no talking but you talk for a living Caleb aren't you exhausted people are talking to you cause you gotta hear everybody's thoughts yeah you got I mean is your phone bricked up no I got the android okay you got the android I got the android well you're close to brick it changed everything it changed everything the green bubbles android is great the green bubbles people are not texting me people are people are emailing me and saying I think your number changed I wanted to ask you about this and I go that's perfect keep it in the email I love that don't do not be texting me unless you're a very dear friend yeah I think that because I hear all these opinions and I'm seeing all the content and everybody's got a show everything's great it's literally has taken you know all the fun out of things that just hearing nothing is actually exciting yeah to sit in silence you ever like go to a restaurant and you're just sitting there and you're eating and people are just eating and they're not so how was the day they're talking about work like just not hearing that yeah you're like the food tastes better yeah the bartender is actually you could just hear the jigger and the shaking you're like oh that's music to my ears yeah but I don't know maybe it's just me maybe my antidepressants is just too damn high I think I might have to go down I'm really happy with the world I might have to go down on it the things you're saying are making me very happy really yeah I'm happy for you do you know what I can't shake in my mind right now what earlier when you asked if I was type A the only person that didn't shake their head yes was Michelle and that's completely fine except for Michelle texted me yesterday okay Michelle texted me yesterday sent me a link to an article okay hold on the article was headlined she sent me a link to a New York Times article the article was headlined celebrity assistants exist to indulge their bosses but when does duty cross a line and and really really sent that to me is that passive aggressive people don't respect me I mean you know it's really it's really really interesting yeah Michelle yeah so what you've been telling your mom right yes that's what I said I wasn't gonna bring mom into it because I don't know the comfort level that's a great question mom loves Caleb like huge fan oh the moms love you down she's just like classic mom who sends me like crazy articles like when she sees like even a single word that relates to my life but she saw assistant and she was like perfect perfect article celebrity and assistant she said this has to pertain to when does duty cross the line when does duty cross the line sent me hold on Caleb I just want we do respect you right but there's something about your aura that just gets us too comfortable yeah where it's like I could see you in a authoritative like manner but I'm also like but he's got his knees out like you can't you can't tell me what to do when I can see your calves that's what's happening with all of these guys over here I don't know I will wear anything to start getting some respect it's really crazy slacks i want to see some i want some business i will wear a fucking three-piece suit if that's what it takes you know and also i'm glad that you brought this up about not being taken seriously me too what's going on okay so i'm here for the pivot because i i people say that they like everybody likes me oh you're everybody's friend you're so nice you're so i want to shut it down why i'm ready to just do it i want to be a i want to be a bit not bitch but i want to be the b-i-c yeah and bitch why is that oh wait did i spell it right no it's b-i-t comes first but you don't want to be the bit you don't want to be the bit because then what are you once again a joke let's be the bick let's be the bick the lighter brand i want i want to get things going on brand for me that i can't like i am the comedy it just comes out yeah i don't even know what i'm talking about try yeah but no i'm i'm actually tired of being taken for granted or people just know that i'm going to show up and i'm going to be supportive and i'm going to report repost and comment i got to stop all that i got to shut it down i got to start um creating boundaries and i got to make people miss me and and be like oh maybe she won't maybe she got something else to do yeah i need to do that why what consequences are you facing you know i you do know that we're we have a lot of people here and i do think that when people think that you're always going to show they just they don't they're not as appreciative of your support they're like well you know you always here you know you always gonna swing by reliable sydney yeah yeah and i want to i actually no i can't make it to your birthday bitch no i can't i can't make it to your wedding i won't be there i just won't no i can't yeah but there is a wedding i got in my i am gonna go i just i'm type b and i i haven't responded yet but i'm gonna rsvp yeah yeah but i i won't be there i won't be there i want someone to wonder what else could i possibly be doing yeah to not show up to your shit i like that yeah i need that i like this era for you yeah because don't do it to me no no no i would never i would never but i do them because we always have our phones and the partifles and the you know everybody is just like have all this access we have lost the the wonder of like oh are they coming like will i see them you know that feeling of i wonder if caleb is coming to my birthday like you came you showed up oh my i was like genuinely so happy to see you and i think that's lost in the in the oh i know my i know these people are coming you know let me let me ask these random friend of a friend to come and then be more excited you don't know even know this bitch's middle name like why are you so so happy to see you know yeah i want to feel that when i see a friend that yeah i just saw you yesterday but i'm here i'm here for your but i'm just talking about in general not marie okay yeah marie show me love all the time this is why i'm this is why i'm telling everybody all the time okay maybe i'll try i'll try to be there i'm i'm hoping to come by because that's the thing is i don't really know and i don't want to have this thing where like we speak in such certainty yes they're like i will be there i wouldn't miss it for the world and then that's the the shit that causes these like you get 10 texts right before the event being like i know i said i would come but i got i got hit by a bicycle and then it's pictures of the injury so that we you know they're not making it up i'm like i don't want to participate in that i don't need to know i trust if you are in the mood to be at the thing you said you would be at and you said you would come that's cool but if not you really don't need to like provide evidence and like a court filing to me it's all good do your thing i think that we also need to be okay with people saying i'm not coming yeah i'm not i don't need a reason i'm not coming i'm just not coming yeah but people are scared to say that people are set to hear it and i just want to get in a better place where i'm not feeling bad for like actually i just don't want to fucking go yeah do you know how many times i've dragged myself to things where like my eye is kind of pink and my wig is flipped and my toe is dead and my belly button is falling out and i'm there i'm there in the audience hearing somebody say the same jokes that i heard but they need me there they need my support because i am a cheerleader and i'm like well i need to be in bed yeah yeah my friend amina amina amina amani she always is like sydney it is okay to say no it's okay for you not to be there they will live and i said you know what i want to get more into that you know i will say you and marie and mateo and lisa like our whole little crew of buddies y'all are present we show y'all show up yeah i'm very i'm like i really am impressed by you guys and trying to i'm trying all the time to be on the level and be as good of a friend to y'all as y'all are to everybody because i'm like y'all really show up in a way that's crazy well i'm not cool with my family so first of all let's say that because if i had family oh y'all bitches wouldn't see me if i had family that i fucked with oh babe i wouldn't be at anything i would the partiful blocked like i would not be going to nothing but because my friends are my village and everything i i want people to know that like this love is real like if i could give you a kidney i would i was i don't suggest you have it but i would give it up because that is what it's about i think we're so also lost in the the internet of everything and commodifying everything that you don't know what's real what's fake what's like endearing and so i when i see my friends i'm like hey i might not post a picture of you but you know we we locked in yeah that's why i'm trying to get better at when i say i'm not coming and i don't want to give you the reasons i'm talking about people that i'm talking about fringe people that i'm like i'm trying to make more space for the people i really need to show up for yeah i need to show up for the people who have showed up for me my my good good dear friends and loved ones i need to make more space for those people and so unfortunately it means that someone that i barely know that i like well enough no i can't i can't come to your i don't know like trivia for your cousin's work party or whatever and i i envy people who can make time for that but i'm not gonna be the guy because i gotta show up for my people that used to be me that used to be me yeah but i i want to know what are ways that people can show up that is not just like physical because maybe we need to give people other options yeah like if you can't make it you know vim on me fifty dollars you know i bought snacks thinking you were gonna i got all this food thinking y'all were coming send me some money yeah i did i had to because of uh trash mountain in the filming schedule last year i had to miss one of my best friend from childhood's like just no way around it because i'm the lead of the movie and we can't reschedule the shooting schedule because we have no money yeah and i was just like girl i love you but there's there's simply nothing i can do and i i dropped a fat fucking check on the honeymoon fund like a stack wow because i was like that this doesn't that to me doesn't replace my missing the wedding uh i feel horrible about it but when she got that this is what i can do you know what baby this is what i can do you can't make it to the baby shower and that's okay yeah i'm good with that too yeah that so i do think there's ways to show like remorse and participation for when you can't be there the way you want to be but it doesn't it doesn't replace it's like of course we would have both rather i just be there yeah but i mean getting back into like my family stuff it's just like you know i i grew up in a very like not a nuclear home a nuclear home i i grew up with my great aunt and uncles and so already i'm not with like my mom my dad my sister my brother and the way that they raised me it's just like family is everything family is everything and so to be the opposite of where i am like friends are everything my mind totally flipped and i forget that friends could just cut you off at any moment if they don't if they don't want to be your friend anymore that's done family family is forever yeah like my brother my sister they text me and i'm like we are related yeah i i guess i do need to respond or call you back also we don't do friendship in that way none of our none of our inner friends would just drop us at any moment you think you're inner you think marie mateo lisa me amina you think any of us would just be like nah we're done with sydney no no no i wouldn't let them i'm pulling up baby we were talking about that that's crazy but i do i do have like some relationships that kind of just drifted off and i'm like i'm surprised they didn't fight for it you know but like what is this all about was it just something that you were like oh i guess this was different season different reason you know yeah because i would fight for our friendship i would fight for oh marie i'll lay on the train tracks for her you know i would because that is so important i we made a joke when you did our podcast about like you know we don't have to make all money doing our podcast i'd rather us just be friends and she's like you don't have to make all money doing our podcast i'd rather us just be you wouldn't you wouldn't want to make a million dollars you would rather just be friends you know this episode is brought to you by booking.com

That's why millions of people rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for services like cancer screenings, wellness exams, birth control, STI tests, and more. In fact, one in three women in the U.S. have been to Planned Parenthood for care. So it kind of blows my mind that lawmakers are trying to permanently shut them down. They already passed a law that blocks patients that use Medicaid from getting the affordable preventative care they need. And now they want to make that law permanent. Nobody benefits when people are getting fewer exams, paying more for care, or just skipping the health care they need. And we know that's happening. Planned Parenthood health centers have reported that fewer patients are getting basic care like breast exams and STI tests since the Trump administration and their backers defunded Planned Parenthood. Patients shouldn't suffer because of their laws. Our communities deserve better. To get involved, text UPDATE to 22422. I rather have the friendship than the. celebrity, the red carpets, all that stuff. Because I've seen it, what it's done to people. They're miserable. Not you. Not you. I like to think I'm a little more invested in the friendship. Yeah. Personally, I like to think that's why it's not affecting me that way, the way that we've seen it. I mean, we've seen it ruin so many nice, good people. Ruin. Just destroy them. Bad. They're so lonely and sad. The brain fried. But it's because they forgot. And I don't blame anybody. It's a really insidious thing. It's really, really hard to. stop it from destroying you. But they let themselves forget that the biggest gift of all of this is the people. The biggest gift of all of this is the friendships. That we get to be around the coolest, nicest, funniest people. We get to work with the best people who just want to laugh and have fun and make good shit. That is the best part of all this. It's not the fucking parties with people more famous than you. It's not the luxuries of traveling well. Those things are certainly nice. But you really can't forget that the people are the best part. And forsake everything for more money and more status. Because that's when it fucking ruins you. The people are the best part. How did you get to where you are, Caleb? How are you doing it? Like, I just. You still look a nice person. You still look out. How do you not get sidetracked and be like, Yeah, I'm about to go to Beyonce's party. Like, how do you not be that person? I think it's the same. I guess this isn't true for everybody who experiences this, but it's just growing up. Just growing up so fucking poor. Just growing up so poor. And I just never really forget, like, yeah, this is all crazy. It's a gift to be able to pay my bills and take nice flights and go where I. To have freedom at all. To have freedom really is such a privilege and gift. But yeah, I just feel like. It feels impossible to me. It's not impossible, actually. We've seen it happen. I just can't imagine how I would lose myself in it. I can't imagine it. Me and Marie went to Soho yesterday. And we went to March. And I said, oh, yeah, no, I need to get more money. Because the way it felt so good to walk up in that bitch and know that your car was not getting declined. And then I was looking at these crazy prices. I was like, yeah, I got that. Like, I said, oh, now I see why people embezzle. Now I see why people rob, steal, and kill. Because I know when we walked in, they was like, who is he? You know, we bouncing off the wall. They're like, they ain't buying nothing. They just here wasting time. And then, because, you know, we are indecisive. We trying on this shoe. I'm like, oh, my ankles is ashy. Marie's like, oh, my feet are feet too dry. Like, we were being really silly. And then the sales associate realized, I was like, no, no, no, we're about to spend some coin in here. And I said, that's what I want to do. I want to do this with my friends. I want to take a trip and us just not think about money. Because I grew up poor. And shit, last year I was poor. So I like, I know how it is. Let's not forget. Yeah, let's not forget. But it just feels so good when you could treat the people that you're with good and get the things that you want. Who knows how many times I'm going to wear these shoes. I go to Union Hall. I'm not wearing my Margellas at Union. I'm not wearing my Margellas at Bell House or, you know, on the side of Bushwick. Like, I'm not doing that. But I want to get the nice things. And I want to do, I want the success like you have. But I don't think I'm ready. I'm not ready for everything that comes with it. That's what it is. What do you mean? What do you think you're not ready for? I think that I come in with my heart first. And some people are like business or like they're just going to be funny. I can't do that. Like we even having this deep, serious conversation, no laugh happening. That's me most of the time. I know. You know? Yeah. And so I feel like a lot of people have to be on. Like they have to mask. And I don't, I can't do that. I'm telling you. I mean, I ran up on Daniel. I ran up on Daniel Kaluuya yesterday because I didn't think it was him. And I, I, if I was him, I would be like, you're crazy. Like I would have just yelled at like, what's wrong with you? But he was just so kind. And I'm like, I don't know if I could be professional all the time. Yeah. I'd run up on Daniel Kaluuya too. Have you seen that clip of him and Robin? No. That clip? She, ooh. The ooh, I'm going to ooh. Ooh. There is a clip of him. There is a clip of him doing Robin. Oh, what is her last name? She's so wonderful. Look it up. Look it up. Robin. Robin Daniel flirting. Okay. Robin Daniel flirting Google chants. It's Robin Roberts. Robin Roberts. Roberts. Who's Robin Roberts? She is so fabulous. Robin Roberts. There's this clip of him. Robin Roberts? She has like a show. There's a clip of him. Yes. Let me see Robin Roberts. Yes. Play this clip. Play this clip. Oh wait, yes. He is. Oh wait, she's fab. I'm buttering you up because can you tell us anything about Black Panther? Can you tell us any little stuff? No, I'm not. You know, you got to give me more butter, man. That's not enough butter, man. You got to come better than me. You better be glad we're not doing the same thing. I can run back at you. What will you do? What will you do? What will you do? You are too much. You are right on time. The gay is slipping. The gay is slipping. The way he's looking at her. You have to, man. You got to make it your tallest height. You got to make it come on. That's right. I'll bring more butter. I'll bring the butter next time. I need him. First of all, both things. I need to hang out with her and I need to hang out with him in a different way. Yes. I need. Oh yeah, you can. Thank you. Oh my God. Caleb. Caleb. That's the shit I'm talking about. Can you do a class? That's the reason to be alive. Me? Yes. Daniel Kaluuya needs to do the class and I'm going to enroll because I want to see him act like that. No, you're good at it too. I see you in the interviews and you're very like, like, like you're not coy, but it's something. You got, you have something with you that it's like, I don't know if you would really have sex with them, but they're, I'm sure somebody in the interview would be like, is he coming on to me? Is it me? It might be me and you. Sydney, I feel like we have that connection. We do. We do. But you know what? You let me be goofy and weird and strange and that's what, because people don't know that about me. Like they see the outside and they're like, she's put together, all that ass, titties popping, teeth shining. Yeah. And then I'll be like, I don't know. And they're like, you have nice nail beds. They're like, what? Like, who's looking at your nail beds? Do you think, do you think that people have, do you think that people have a perception issue with you? Do people want you to be something that you're not? Yes. Yeah. Yes. I, like right now I am doing my show called My Black Barbie Story and it's, it's about like all the Barbies that I find on, on the internet, reenacting stories that have happened in my life. It's so goofy and odd and strange. And it's like, why would you tell these stories? It's like, cause that's who I really am. I don't, I want to look good, but I'm a mess. Things have happened to me that I'm like, I should be ashamed of, but they're not. Why am I ashamed? They happen in there. That's who makes me who I am today.

So I wouldn't be so interesting or an amazing storyteller if I didn't allow those things to happen. And I just want to release myself of, like, posting and making sure everything looks right or getting online and making sure that, oh, my lace is not showing. It's like, I can't. I'm actually exhausted. I literally have no strength. I want to show up in a bonnet and talk shit and be, like, free like the people on TikTok in Missouri. Like, I want to be like them. But because I've set myself up where, like, I'm always wearing a heel. I'm always a beat. I got my lashes on. People see that and they're like, oh, you're going to come and be cool and collect. No, I'm sweating. I'm sweating right now. My coochie is damp. And it's not because you're making me feel sexy. I'm just, I'm nervous. Yeah. I'm, the anxiety is running through me right now. So what do you think the perception problem is? People want you to be X, but you are Y. What are the X and Y? The X is, okay, here's the X. Marie. They want you to be Marie. No, they don't want me to be Marie, but Marie is so freaking cool. She's so funny. She's like, yeah, I'm not worried about that. She'll show up late. She's not going to say sorry. She's like, hey, y'all, what's up? Like, let's go. Let's start. Like, she's not worried about, like, if you're mad or not. She's like, well, I know that I'm going to deliver, you know? That's not me. I'm saying sorry. Like, I'm sweating. I'm stressed. I'm fumbling. I have a lisp. I'm saying words wrong. Like, I want to come off so together, but I'm going to show every time that I'm not. But people like you, like her, you just got it. You just. You know, Marie, though, there's something really funny that I think about often with both of you, actually. Where I think there are a lot of, there are a lot of particularly, like, 20-somethings in Brooklyn that they're trying to do cool by being aloof and uninterested. Yes. They're not asking anybody any questions. They're not interested in anybody else. They're trying to do cool through, like, disinterest and, like, nose-in-the-air behavior. Yes. But they're doing that to try and impress or be like people like you and Marie. And nobody actually cool is like that. Aw. Y'all aren't like that. Y'all care about people. Y'all ask questions. Y'all, like, no, Marie's not going to apologize for being late. But she doesn't need to because you know it's not coming from a place of malice. And it is really like, Marie's, like, getting her energy together. She's showing up great energy every time. It's not like she shows up late and then she's a huge bitch. She shows up late and she's the life of every room she's in. It's like, there's something about coolness that I think a lot of particularly young people, like, younger people, are really not understanding that they think being cool is being the, the person who cares the least in the room. And the actual coolest people, the ones that they actually look up to, are not like that. And I'm like, y'all got to get that figured out. Because it's really not cool. And you just seem fucking boring and rude. Ooh. Do you know what I mean? Yes. It really bothers me. Who's the coolest person you've met? The coolest person I've met? Yeah. As of late. The coolest person I've met as of late. Damn, I don't know. This is tough. Who is the coolest person I've met lately? Or you're somebody that you, you went back, you're like, damn, that was such a good time. Like, I need to see more of them. So many people like that. I mean, but I'm trying to think the coolest person I've met lately. I've really, it's a funny time to ask me because I've been really in my, like, trying to support my friends bag right now. Like, I'm taking trips just to see friends' concerts. Like, I'm really trying to, like, do that whole thing. But who's the coolest person I've met lately? You know what? Oh, oh, um, uh, there's this guy called Cochime who plays in Kevin Morby's band. Okay. And I've been seeing Kevin. I've been seeing him a lot right now. And it's not that I've just met him, but we got to really have a conversation for the first time after the show in L.A. And just a cool guy. Just a really nice guy, down to earth, really fucking good at what he does. He has a fucking, uh, in, in Kevin's show right now, he has a saxophone solo that brings the fucking house down. He also plays the flute. He plays all kinds of cool shit. Plays the bongos. Um, to me. But he's somebody that I was like, because I've known him. Okay, I'm going to get into him. He's cool. He's cool as fuck. I'm going to get. He used to play with, um. Um, Sheeran Jones and the Dap Kings. You ever listen to them? No. They're great. I'll show you some of their stuff. They're great. But, or maybe he still does play with them. Sorry, Cochime, if I'm getting that wrong. Do you have a picture of him? No. I'm a visual person. I'll show you one later. Yeah. I'll find it. Okay. But that was, that was a person who I was like, oh, he's so fucking cool. I'm really glad we got to chit chat. You know who's really cool? I like truly enjoy hanging out with, um, Richard Perez. Richard Perez is so, we're supposed to have him on the show. He is so goddamn funny. You have to. He's so funny. DNA funny. He, like, the characters, but then like, you'll be in the, in the green room somewhere and he's just like pouring his heart out and like showing you like, oh yeah, no, this, I'm cool online. But I do worry. I am thinking about this. I do stress. And I'm like, I love these moments. Cause online, I'm like, I see this perception and I, I, well, no, I see this thing that he's putting out and I'm like, oh, he's great at branding and marketing. But then I also get to see the real him behind the, the. The curtain and that's what makes me want to hang out with him more, even though I only see him at the shows, but I, I think he's so cool and Marley, Marley is so out of her mind, but yeah, very fun. And just being themselves, Richard. Yeah. Marley's so funny. Richard's so funny. I Richard's in that, uh, a camp of people in, uh, specifically New York comedy that I'm like, we've run into each other a couple of times. I have so much respect for him. I would like to spend more time with him and I need to, I actually need to make a better effort about that. That's something I'm, I'm trying to do right now is. Like make a better effort. It's very easy at this point in my life to curate every single minute of my day with only people and things I like. Like I could really go every day and never be in an uncomfortable situation. Really? Oh yeah. At this. Yeah. Cause at this point I don't have to be anywhere. I don't report to anybody. This is my job. Okay. Talk your shit. I hired them. These are my buddies. Like I have, I have whoever I want on. Nobody tells me who to have on my show. I don't have to, there is no place I have to be that I don't want to be, which is mostly great, but I'm trying to. I'm trying to make sure that I'm forcing, not forcing, but creating opportunities to meet new people and be a little out of my comfort zone. Yes. And I'm glad you mentioned that because I was recently on a lesbian cruise. This Alaska cruise kind of changed your life now. I've been screaming about it from the mountain tops. Tell me about it. I went to, well, I was, I was hired. It's called Olivia Travels. And so at first I've been dragging cruises for a whole year because I saw the poop cruise and I said, you can't pay me. You can't. You can't get me to be on no damn cruise. I don't want to be stuck underwater. I can't swim. The food's going to be bad. The people are going to be in bad shirts. And then Olivia Travels hit me up like, hey, here's, here's this money. And then I looked at. Here's the number. Here's the number. I looked at my bank account. I said, yeah, no, no, no. I could do, I could do a cruise. No, for real. And it's all gays. Yeah, let's go. And so the thing is, is that you see the gay cruise for the men and then you see the lesbian cruise and you're like, it's not the same. It's not the same. And which is good because, you know, I'm not a party animal. I can, you know, I don't do drugs. I'm sober. You know, I'm good with a sweater on. I love a nice little turtleneck. I don't need to have my tits out and oiled up, you know, so I don't want to be on an all gay men cruise. So I was like, lesbian, let's go. But the thing about this cruise is like, everybody's a lot older and they're not like teeny boppers. They're not in their twenties. A lot of people are like 40 and up, uh, 65, 70. And these are people who. Listen, they pretty much paved the way for, you know, a gay like me. So I'm on a cruise, 2000 people plus Alaska. I don't want to be, I'm not paying to be cold. Like that's just, I don't understand white people when they're like, I'm going to go to Mount Everest. Like, I don't get it. Why are you paying money to be on ice? That's, that's insane. Like just open your fridge, go in your, go in your refrigerator, go in the basement. I don't know. But I just, I couldn't pay money to want to be around snow and, um, to be freezing because I was like, I don't know. I have anemia. So I say, yes, I go on and I'm with my girlfriend. So already I have my security blanket, but I go in and I'm like, I, I have to be open. I can't be closed off just because these people are older than me or white. And, um, just from places that I've never even heard of. It's okay. You gotta be. And then I got on there. It was so transformative because these women were telling me their stories are like, I'm a late in life, lesbian, a married man. I had, I had kids. And I didn't feel this free until I came out. And I came out when I was 55 and I wanted to die. die in terms of like tears coming I would just want to melt into the floor because to be somebody else for 55 years to have this life for somebody else and now you're like oh my god I feel like I'm twirling in a in a field of just like dandelions I'm like oh my god and this is this is why I'm like I need to be more out and proud and existing because of people like this and then I got on stage and I did my 45 minutes I made my you know my little jokes I was like Frankie and Grace is in the building like you know the golden girls Betty White where you at like you know I was doing that but for for the whole thing I was basically doing some of the stories that I do on my Black Barbie show and then from my How to Start a Fire and they were like you are so authentically you and even when there is moments where you're like oh that didn't go over what you're you're being yourself and that is so so important to be seen and to be doing your type of comedy they need this and so they all these women came up to me who I thought I had nothing in common with other than that were like lesbians were just pouring out their love and explaining to me how you I think that I'm so different it's like we're all trying to figure it out we're not that much different and it was I want to go back on that cruise again for sure I thought I was going to have a threesome or orgy that didn't happen but you know it was great was there a man on the ship um they working they doing the work they not they're not yeah but they're like there's trans there's uh non-binary they're all like you don't have to necessarily be like gender it's like what you are you a lesbian but there wouldn't really be room for me that's not a space um I could I could bring you I could bring you I honestly think you would take over and be it would become a cult on the cruise and I'm scared like I think somebody like you should do this but I'm scared I'm definitely scared I you I think you would have those ladies going insane those are my girls those oh oh and you know I just want to talk a little bit about ageism you know everybody's so scared or their first thing oh you old bitch you old like it's like I'm living yeah I'm alive I'm a living woman first of all I'm alive you fucking idiot you want me to be dead you want me to say that the men like when the the hoes are dead and young but I mean I think that getting older is beautiful it's beautiful what what I the men like when the hoes are dead and young yeah yes it's true I watch the documentary yeah they're killing these young women yeah yeah but I I went there and I was like it's all about aging with grace you know when everybody is getting under eye blephs and cutting their eyelids off and getting all this filler and shit I I do need to just lean into it's okay to age gracefully it's okay to look like you're supposed to look to me ageism is only funny when you're not actually scared of aging I'm I think ageism is hilarious but I'm playing I'm so excited to age I'm not getting anything done I am very excited to age because I want to play those roles yes that's one thing with these actors I'm like y'all are destroying your instrument yes why are you doing this yes stop you would you can't you don't look like anybody who's ever lived before I hate this people look you know like anyone has ever lived before it's crazy you look like a new species like stop yanking your shit and I'm not saying don't get anything done it's not my business I know it's different for women whatever everybody do your thing whatever but I just mean in general I wish everyone would stop yanking and plumping and teasing their shit until they looked completely inhuman men as well male actors are fucking destroying their faces and I'm like for what you don't look better I it's really driving me crazy now there are people who have had some very tasteful work done I'm very tasteful where I was like okay name the doctor hello but then there's other people that's like name the doctor so they can go to jail yes okay we must arrest them immediately doctor in prison in prison underneath yes you know but I I will say that you know I've had my breasts done and um you can't tell because they're very demure right here but and there I've had them done twice and I I am obsessed with the idea of you know you want to upgrade yourself you want to do a little what you have done to them bigger both times yes okay yes uh and I'm I think if I get another gig I'm gonna get them done again this is 12 years ago you know what I mean oh I'm pro boob job yeah yeah you know 12 years a d cup now I'm like what else can I do you know I might I might go smaller who knows but I think obviously it's amazing to have the the money or the access to if you want to do a little something yeah but I think it's the cameras that 4k has fucked us up yeah the things that we were we weren't looking at before now we are I was never like oh my eyelids are drooping now I in that 4k camera of the clips that we got to post to make sure that we have people in the seats now I'm like why why does it look like it's what do I have a lazy eye or like did I have a stroke like that's the stuff that I'm looking at now and that wouldn't happen if we had like a pixelated camera we're from afar it looks good you can't even zoom in I'm planning to look bad yeah I'm playing it when I am when I am in my 50s 60s beyond I am planning to look bad I'm planning to be 62 and people going is he

the point I tried to go dancing the other night and it was it was 12 people lining up to do meet and greet and selfies all I wanted was to go to the dance with my friend and I literally almost started sobbing I was so sad because I'm like it just makes me feel really inhuman actually no I see you but I don't complain about this no you don't really really don't do you never say anything about every time I've been with you you've been like you know this is this is this is what it is but in the back of my head I'm like hey I know they saw that we were deep in the conversation like like literally
