This week on the Slaptail Squad, the squad is at full strength and it is a perfect time to have a fun conversation. The Beaveman provides a bit of an artificial intelligence update at the top of the podcast for those of you that care. 
Then the conversation quickly segued to discussion about family gatherings. It should be a happy discussion but the Beaveman really just wants to know if any of the squad members dreams of punching one of their family members like he often does.  Best of all there is a very endearing story about the Swan's elderly grandmother's fun experience with,"thought it was this but it was that."
Tromondae is present this week so we honor our tradition of Prideside Chat with Tromondae. As per norm, Ronz asks a dumb question. 
We do it for the funny. Thanks for joining us.

Transcript

SPEAKER_02

Slap Tail Squad Assemble If you're listening to this, you're a member of the great Slaptail Nation. My nation. And who am I? Well, I'm the Beave Man, master of the universe, creator of all things great and small, and Lord High Commander of the great Slaptail Nation army. And with me today is my number two in the Uniden. Do you know what the Uniden means, Rons?

SPEAKER_03

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_02

It's the den of the Unibomber because you look like a fucking Unibomber in your little den. How so? Because you... My number two The Rons.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, B-Man just woke up from a coma and it's still a fucked up world.

SPEAKER_02

You are absolutely right. I am not going to argue with you about that. You're on 10 today, Ron.

SPEAKER_00

Well, at least we can't tell that he hasn't had any sleep because he just said he had a great coma.

SPEAKER_02

It's not going to stop him from being an immature toddler and yawning all the way through the podcast, though.

SPEAKER_00

True, true.

SPEAKER_03

I'm sorry. I'm the only one that seems to work fucking nights, not days. like everybody else.

SPEAKER_00

When do you sleep?

SPEAKER_03

I cannot look bougie like Tremonde. I mean, look at him. I don't even know what that word means. What the fuck does bougie mean? It means you look really intense.

SPEAKER_00

Like Applebee's. It's not. No. It's fancy.

SPEAKER_03

That's your definition of it.

SPEAKER_00

Apparently he doesn't know the definition of the word that he brought up.

SPEAKER_02

Also with us today, sitting next to me here in the Beaver Den, the Beaver Lodge, No longer is she in the beaver gash and hasn't been for quite some time. Is the swan. Say hello, swan.

SPEAKER_00

Hello, swan.

SPEAKER_02

Nicely done.

SPEAKER_00

Thank

SPEAKER_02

you. Also with us looking extremely stylish. Dapper. Trying to make the rest of us look like, I don't know, like slobs. Although we do notice that half of his head is cut off. I don't know why that is. There you go. is the ever suave, the eloquent, our own sexual chocolate, our own personal pudding pop, Jermonde. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Let's see who fucks us up. Good afternoon, Jermonde. Good afternoon. Swan.

SPEAKER_00

Good afternoon. Yes. I thought I was going to do it like Ron's. I was going to fuck it up on purpose.

SPEAKER_02

Swan.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

A good afternoon.

SPEAKER_00

Good afternoon.

SPEAKER_02

Ron? Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Good job, Ron. Good job.

SPEAKER_02

A good afternoon.

SPEAKER_03

A good afternoon to you too, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_02

Before we get really too far into it, I have never in my life met... a scientist who was working on AI in all these years that AI has been around. I've never run into anybody that was a scientist or even did I know of how I would go about beating anybody like that. But yet in this week, I have met two of them. Tell me that is not the universe and synchronicity. Rons, you out of all of us, plus me, are the only one who's probably familiar with synchronicity.

SPEAKER_03

I would love to know how you met the He

SPEAKER_02

just avoided that because he's like, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. No, Ron's knows what I'm talking about. Ron's is a synchronicity person, just like

SPEAKER_03

me. Yeah, where everything kind of comes

SPEAKER_02

together as one. Just falls into place, these weird coincidences, just random. Much like, you know, much like if you are, I'm in the house with the swan, and let's say I'm looking at t-shirts with unicorns on them from T-Turtle. Before the advent of intelligent smart devices or anything, it would have been the universe speaking to us if Swan had of nowhere came to me and said, hey, you know, I really like unicorns. that would have been a synchronicity.

She didn't know that I was looking at unicorn t-shirts. But now, of course, our smartphones just look and see what we've looked at, and of course, she would get an ad for unicorns. I

SPEAKER_03

was wondering how you were going to bring her into it, but yeah, I see what you're saying with that.

SPEAKER_02

But that's not a synchronicity now, because our smartphones just know that the stuff that we look at, and it looks at what other devices are in our house, and of course, they can just show that way and send her her own little ad.

SPEAKER_03

So, on that, when you say something highly intelligent, which you often do, when the SWAT says something highly intelligent, which she often doesn't, is that secrecy to me? What

SPEAKER_02

did you say? Which she often

SPEAKER_03

doesn't?

SPEAKER_00

He wants me to start it out. Let's go fuck yourself, Rons. Oh,

SPEAKER_03

no, no. You came after me. I'm just returning the favor.

SPEAKER_02

I just thought it was interesting, Rons. It is. It is very interesting. I think that's one of the great one of the fun things about the job that I do is I get to talk to people that do all kinds of different jobs, and I always like to ask people what they do, just for fun. Wait a minute,

SPEAKER_03

didn't we not have a conversation of, that's probably one of the, it's not rude, but it's actually considered one of the top things that Americans do? No,

SPEAKER_02

no, no, no, no. I ask because of my profession. So in other words, if I'm taking a history and you tell me my back really hurts... And I ask you what you do for a living. Like if you're somebody who, like you, who has to load up packages or whatever all the time and you're like, oh, my right shoulder really hurts. I'm like, okay, what do you do for a living? And you tell me about it. Picking up black hoses.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It's related to his assessment of what their complaint is. So he's not just asking them randomly as like an odd conversation of meeting the guy in the park and be like, hey, yeah, what do you do for a living?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, take packages for the face.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. You're the one who put it in that context.

SPEAKER_03

No, because Tremonti was there if you didn't hear his

SPEAKER_02

comment. Oh boy, oh boy. Anyway, it's a synchronicity. Tremonti, this is why it's a synchronicity. It's a synchronicity because we did a podcast about AI where we talked about artificial intelligence. And then that was planned before I ever talked to two scientists who are working on artificial intelligence. So therefore, that is the universe all of a sudden syncing up. That's why we call it synchronicity. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00

Anyway. Does some

SPEAKER_02

people call it coincidence?

SPEAKER_00

Look. Sure.

SPEAKER_02

That's not the universe. A coincidence is not the universe talking to you, Trinidad. Fucking coincidence. What is this, 1942? Just saying. You're thinking on a very small scale, Jumanda. You've got to open your mind.

SPEAKER_00

I'm thinking that maybe some AI was listening and that's why you got those. Nah. Ooh. How about that?

SPEAKER_02

No, anyway. Yeah,

SPEAKER_00

the algorithm aligned up for you. There's no

SPEAKER_02

algorithm. If it was an algorithm, then is it AI?

SPEAKER_03

Hold on. It could be. Let's see how smart this one is. What is an algorithm?

SPEAKER_00

Your mom.

UNKNOWN

What?

SPEAKER_02

Anyway,

SPEAKER_00

the

SPEAKER_02

scientist I was talking to, she told me not to be worried about Skynet.

SPEAKER_00

Good.

SPEAKER_02

Although I told her I welcomed our robot overlords.

SPEAKER_00

So do you want me to tell you what an algorithm really is? It's like a flow map of all the possibilities of a certain whatever you're trying to do. Yeah,

SPEAKER_02

we use algorithms all the time. Algorithms are part of our job runs.

UNKNOWN

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So she knows how to push the button on the microwave because she's a stay-at-home

SPEAKER_02

person? No, algorithms are part of our job as nurses. We have algorithms that we follow, treatment algorithms. So do doctors, nurse practitioners, PAs. We have treatment algorithms. Can you describe one? Sure.

SPEAKER_00

Chest pain.

SPEAKER_02

That's

SPEAKER_00

an easy one. Do you have chest pain? Yes or no? Yes. Do this. No. Go down the tree. Has this

SPEAKER_02

person had an aspirin? No. Give them aspirin. As this person have on remitting chest pain, have you given them nitro? No. Give them nitro. After five minutes, has their chest pain been relieved? No.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I see what you're

SPEAKER_00

talking about. No. That's an

SPEAKER_03

algorithm. Yeah, I get it.

SPEAKER_00

It has an end or a stopping point. If you reach his chest pain resolve, you stop. If you don't, you keep going. I actually

SPEAKER_02

created an algorithm as part of my master's program.

SPEAKER_00

You did.

SPEAKER_02

I wouldn't say it was great, but I did one. And there you have it. It was all right. It was fine.

SPEAKER_00

So, Rons, Do you want to explain what an algorithm is then?

SPEAKER_03

Well, I thought it was basically a mathematical code that when you sort of like, oh, what is it? Faraday's magnetic principle.

SPEAKER_02

He's

SPEAKER_00

going to try to take it all scientific like that. No, no, no,

SPEAKER_03

no. You're exactly right. I didn't think of it as a flow chart. I thought of it more as a long sequence of a mathematical equation with an outcome.

SPEAKER_00

But no. that could be an algorithm for something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no, you're right. You're absolutely right. Isn't this much

SPEAKER_02

like Bilbo Baggins' algorithm for returning the ring to Mordor? Oh no, that was Frodo. No, ours are specific. They're called treatment algorithms. The algorithm is actually in

SPEAKER_00

the title. So an

SPEAKER_02

algorithm is anything, which means if this point is met, go to this. If that point's not met, go to this. I'm sure it's the same thing with basic programming. programming. I don't know. I don't do that shit. Who knows?

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I guess. Back to AI.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, go ahead, Tremondi. So then is sex an algorithm? I don't know. Is it? I don't know. You hold her hand. If she lets you hold her hand, then you kiss her. If she lets you kiss her, then you go to this.

SPEAKER_03

That's an interesting thing.

SPEAKER_02

Why'd you pick a girl, Tremondi? Why in your algorithm did you use a woman as an example? Because I was looking at you in the swan.

SPEAKER_01

I see.

SPEAKER_02

I thought you were trying to mix up your mix it up a little bit.

SPEAKER_00

He said definitely no. Hard pass. No. So if it's your algorithm is it female? Hard pass. No.

SPEAKER_02

Does this man look like a female? Does this man look like female? Not interested. Funny. Too funny. Too funny. Anyway. Is

SPEAKER_00

love an actual thing or is it just an algorithm?

SPEAKER_02

He's not going to ask. Will the AI recognize love? What's with you and love, man? I don't know about you. You're always all about the love.

SPEAKER_03

We talk about free will. Do we actually

SPEAKER_02

have to about free will. Nobody said anything about that. Nobody even said it. I'm just giving you an update. The person I talked to said, don't worry. Don't worry about Skynet. Let me tell you what she said. I'm paraphrasing. This is kind of what she said. She said... AI isn't as scary as you think it is, but it kind of is, or something like

SPEAKER_00

that. You're like, oh, gee, thanks. Thanks.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, are you trying to make me feel better, or are you trying to make me feel worse? I don't know. But I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, so it's fine. I just wanted to give you that little bit of an update. I thought it was funny.

SPEAKER_00

Very funny.

SPEAKER_02

It's very cool.

UNKNOWN

Anyways.

SPEAKER_02

Germani, you had funny stories you wanted to tell us about this week. Was Is that your thing? Yeah, I was just thinking about, like, has there ever been, like, family events where something funny or something that could have been taken serious but came out to be a funny experience like that happened at, like, family events? No. Moving on.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, if you ask that question, does that mean you have a funny story that happened to you?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, usually if you want to bring that up, you have something that you have to tell us. What is it that you have to tell us?

SPEAKER_00

He's just trying to get insight on what happens... but our families. This is like perfectly normal. I'm just like, oh.

SPEAKER_02

So what sparked the idea? Because I'm traveling to see my family for the holiday. What holiday? Is there a holiday coming up?

SPEAKER_00

Fourth of July. Oh,

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I'm pretty sure I work. You

SPEAKER_00

probably do.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, am I missing something? Is it Monday? Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Well, it's observed on Monday, so yes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So I was just wondering, does anything happen at your family gatherings?

UNKNOWN

No.

SPEAKER_02

Or has anything happened at your family gatherings that. Mostly rage. That's what happens at my family gatherings. Why is that? Why? I don't think, I don't know how most people feel about their family. And it's actually pretty insulting because if I look at say my cousin's family in, in Los Angeles and then in the LA area, they hang out pretty frequently. I mean, there probably isn't a weekend. I would say probably like two weekends out of the month.

I would guess that they're all hanging out together.

That means mom, all the kids not all the kids because some of them are in other areas but you might have like 7 or 8 of them hanging out like you hang out with your brother and their family and I'm like this is so crazy to me because my family doesn't do that and they all get along and they all have fun and they all tease each other and they enjoy their time together whereas if I go hang out with my family I just have this a lot of times it's not I can't deal with it for very long because I

start to get really angry why

UNKNOWN

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02

Just being in their presence.

SPEAKER_00

It's like differing opinions. Yeah, that can't we all get along doesn't happen. Even though it's like subtle, it just doesn't.

SPEAKER_03

So there's...

SPEAKER_00

They're all too different. Yeah, they're all too different. Like personality-wise.

SPEAKER_03

Personality-wise, it shouldn't matter. I mean, if you try to get along, but it's sort of like this backhanded

SPEAKER_02

stabbing. Oh, you're saying it's my fault. I

SPEAKER_03

never said that, but...

SPEAKER_02

It sounds like what you're

SPEAKER_03

saying is If they're only getting angry when you show up. No, I

SPEAKER_00

feel like they do it to each other as well. I

SPEAKER_02

don't know if they make each other angry. I think that they're not very perceptive. I think that's my family's problem.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe, maybe.

SPEAKER_02

Do you wish it was, or do you want it to be different?

UNKNOWN

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, here's the thing. I don't know how this became a discussion about the Beave Man's family. By all means. Maybe it was the AI. Here's the thing. Now, this is what it's probably the Dunning-Kruger effect, Rons.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, God, bringing that back around. Well, Rons is going to say

SPEAKER_02

it's AI for the next three weeks. I probably will. Rons is going to insist on saying it's probably the AI. That's what he's going to do. No, here's I don't remember what I was going to say about my family. I

SPEAKER_00

feel like you were going to say something about how you really wish you would have been born into your LA family because you fit them much better. Oh,

SPEAKER_02

here's what I was going to say was that the relationships that my family has of not being close for some reason keeps getting blamed on me by my mother. In other words, she keeps saying that I need to make it better between everybody so that the family's closer. And then she dumps that on me. And I'm like, why don't you dump that on the rest of the family? instead of always saying that I'm the one that needs to bring everybody together. Are

SPEAKER_00

you the eldest? No, he's the forgotten middle child. So it shouldn't be his responsibility at all. It should be like the older one or the baby to bring it all back together, but not the middle one.

SPEAKER_03

Well, okay. So have you asked yourself or have you asked the others why?

SPEAKER_02

Which why question are you asking? Why is she dumping on you? Why is there this

SPEAKER_00

problem?

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. Why is there this problem? Which why are you talking about? It doesn't matter. He

SPEAKER_00

doesn't know. He doesn't know how the vajayjay works. He's never eaten there. He's

SPEAKER_03

never been there. Well, first of all, it's a generic blank statement. So you go, why is it like that, mom? Why do you think I need to bring everything together? And maybe there's a, maybe they can figure that out and tell you, well, it's because of your success as a podcaster and you know, from Monday and the runs and you married the swan.

SPEAKER_02

You don't make any sense. They're not making any sense runs. I thought Ron's about to say, why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? You know, the, have you heard that song before? It's like an old hip hop song. Well,

SPEAKER_00

yeah. Oh, Can you sing it for

SPEAKER_02

us? No, because it's more of like rapping. Okay,

SPEAKER_00

well, come on. Let's do it. Let's hear it.

SPEAKER_02

I'm a church boy. You

SPEAKER_00

can do it in church fashion.

SPEAKER_02

What did you use to rap? Oh, you know, this is kind of funny is the Little Powder Donut posted on her Facebook. She had Boombox. What cassette would be in your Boombox?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And Runs, what did you put? You put like the Eagles or something? Oh, Modern

SPEAKER_03

English. Oh, Modern English, okay. I would melt with you.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, cool. All right, and so I put down Fatboy's Crushin'. That was what was in my Boombox. No, I used to rap. Yeah. For sure.

SPEAKER_03

What have I used? Swan, what would your music be? Why are you getting

SPEAKER_00

off track? Yeah, why are you getting off track? The Beastie Boys? I don't know. That was probably in my Zoom box. License to Ill.

SPEAKER_03

Well, you know, the thing is, you see how you brought everybody together? And, you know, it was great. Your little quest, you brought everybody together.

SPEAKER_00

And you should probably do that with your family.

SPEAKER_03

And there's the Swan trying to subvert you to break the family apart. So I don't think it's you. I think it's the Swan on trying to break everybody apart just so she can have you all to herself

SPEAKER_00

how did how no no no not at all not at all ron's okay

SPEAKER_02

anyway so no when my mom asks me those when says that stuff to me i'm like you know you're talking to the wrong i i i don't have as i i actually don't think that our family has too much in common it's kind of sad because my father infuriates me with almost everything he says and he's not trying to he's just being himself Bye. Bye. Bye. And so everything I say, he gets mad about, it doesn't matter what it is. He gets mad. And so I'm like, why am I here?

So I try not to spend, it's sad, but I try not to spend too much time with all of them.

SPEAKER_03

So I'm going to ask a very, very simple question. Do you have any common commonality with your family?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. A little

SPEAKER_03

related.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. They all have the same mother. They

SPEAKER_03

have black hair.

SPEAKER_00

Same mother. Same father. No, your dad doesn't have black hair. I

SPEAKER_03

mean, it's sort of like, you know, my hobbies, and my life. None of my brothers, none of my sisters have the same do what I do. Oh, no. He's going to mention it.

SPEAKER_00

Well, he is.

SPEAKER_03

He is. No. He's

SPEAKER_00

just dying

SPEAKER_03

to.

SPEAKER_00

What are you referring to, Ron?

SPEAKER_02

What hobby?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, like a geocache, right? So they don't do what I do. I hike, right?

SPEAKER_02

What else? I

SPEAKER_03

like to basically, you know, I like to teach. So I'll be teaching, right? I'll be teaching a geocache course. They don't like to teach.

SPEAKER_02

They don't like to be around other people. What else do you like to teach?

SPEAKER_03

Oh. I like to teach computers. So when I talk about computers and Linux, right, they're not on board with that. Neither

SPEAKER_00

is 93.8% of the world.

SPEAKER_03

And

SPEAKER_02

I get that. Most of the modern world is not with it either. But you

SPEAKER_03

notice how the B-man talked about AI and oh my God, there we go. I'm a computer nerd or a geek, right? No one likes to do the RPG stuff or go to GeekFest or a free comic book day or do comics. I set myself apart from that. So I feel pretty much when I get together with my brothers or my sisters, I'm the only one that does this stuff.

SPEAKER_02

Well, but does it infuriate you?

UNKNOWN

No.

SPEAKER_03

Not as much as you would think because they're all individuals, but then they go, because I do other things, they're like, well, have you tried it like this? I'm like, do you do the hobby that I do? Then maybe I'll look at it through

SPEAKER_02

your eyes. How about this question then? Here's a question for you. What happened?

SPEAKER_01

I

SPEAKER_03

don't

SPEAKER_02

know. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's happening.

SPEAKER_01

There

SPEAKER_03

you go. Let me

SPEAKER_02

ask you all this question then. If you were an family gathering. Yes. And maybe people are starting to annoy you, which clearly never happens to Jermondi because he's fucking perfect. Always. Do you ever imagine just punching somebody in the fucking throat in your family?

SPEAKER_03

occasionally

SPEAKER_02

okay i'm assuming that i can also depend on swan for their positive response okay yes okay

SPEAKER_00

do you have an example

SPEAKER_02

like

SPEAKER_00

a little scenario that happened that made you feel like that

SPEAKER_02

or a scenario if you will

SPEAKER_00

yeah

SPEAKER_02

Don't think too long, Tremondy. It's an audio medium. People can't see you. He's in

SPEAKER_00

deep thought

SPEAKER_02

right now. Yes, well, we don't like giant pauses. So when he starts to pause, when we ask him a question, I just keep talking. That's a deep question. That's not light. So Tremondy gets along with

SPEAKER_03

everybody. To say that he likes a throat punch, it's got to be very severe.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I do too get frustrated with family and things.

SPEAKER_03

Like what? I can't see you being frustrated.

SPEAKER_02

You know what frustrates me? People who don't know how to say

SPEAKER_03

frustrated. You know what? You got that right. In that context, it's

SPEAKER_00

okay. In the right context. Correct there.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. So, something that frustrates me.

SPEAKER_03

At, like, funerals. The dead person in the coffin.

SPEAKER_00

Shut up, Rons. Let him tell his story. Jeez,

SPEAKER_02

gosh. When they have the moments when family can come up and they get their two minutes to speak, you will often hear families say, we need to get together more. We need to stop just coming together when someone passes away. Right?

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

And then someone puts something together and then what happens?

SPEAKER_00

Nobody shows up.

SPEAKER_02

Nobody shows up. And then we're at the next funeral and then it repeats itself. You know what you should do when that happens? You should go up to the casket and go, you know what? Everybody comes up here and says that we should get together more often than for funerals. I think we should fight diabetes. That's what you should say. I think we should fight diabetes and heart disease. I think that's probably a better idea. What do you guys think?

Because that's why we have to keep getting together for funerals. That would be good. You need to put that in a stand-up bit. That is fucking hilarious. I should do that. Write that down. You should write that down right now. Can we go to commercials so you and write it down. Hey there, members of the Great Slaptail Nation. It's me, the B-Man, and I'm here to deliver you a message from beyond the stars about our sponsor for this episode, Swiss Navy.

No matter who you love or how you love, Swiss Navy products set the bar for sexual enhancement. There's more glide, more comfort, and even products for longer-lasting pleasure. Swiss Navy has a wide range of premium products to choose from for whatever amount fills your hole, if you know what I mean. My favorite product is Swiss Navy Silicon Lube. Get it, use it, love it, and never be dry again. Once again, that's SwissNavy at SwissNavy.com.

And in your order comments, let them know the Slaptail Squad sent you. Swiss Navy, no matter who you love or how you love. Adios, moochfuckos! You know, not the most subtle way for us to go into commercial, but that's okay. I'm fine with it. It's okay. It doesn't really matter. Rons, don't forget that you're on mute.

SPEAKER_00

We might like him on mute. That's

SPEAKER_02

true also.

SPEAKER_03

I realized it was on mute. It tells me. But I didn't want to over-talk. And what do I hear? As

SPEAKER_02

a person of color, that was a funny-ass joke. Like, that was hilarious. That was good. Yeah, you got to know your demographic. That was good, yeah. I would have a different one for white people when I get up there. You're going to do it, right? You're going to find obesity. That's...

UNKNOWN

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02

I'm going to take Beave Man to my next room and say, he's going to be my voice. And now he's standing here in front of me. And we have to be like, tough room. It's a tough room. Anyway. Okay, so here's the thing, though, is back to that whole punch thing. To me, it's always, I always want to punch the same person. It never varies. I'm always like, man, I just like to punch you one.

SPEAKER_00

Is that because it goes all the way back to childhood? Like you've wanted to punch that same person the entire... Oh, I've punched him. Well, okay. I'm just saying, is it just a thing between both of you from childhood?

SPEAKER_02

Every time I start to like him, he annoys me.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Every time I get really close to being like, you know what? He's finally come down to earth and he's not an opinionated asshole. He'll say something to just annoys the fuck out of me.

SPEAKER_00

I think that's like called sibling rivalry or sibling something. I was just going to say that. You know, right?

SPEAKER_02

I have... I don't want to punch my little brother. I

SPEAKER_00

mean... I feel like you probably have... Although he probably

SPEAKER_02

does need to

SPEAKER_00

be punched. Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like you have, but you have to be Big Brother over him. Not

SPEAKER_03

really. I'm

SPEAKER_00

saying you're too Big Brother over him. You wouldn't punch him. No,

SPEAKER_03

no, no. I agree with the

SPEAKER_02

B-man. Ron, why did you keep saying

SPEAKER_03

no? Because the squad is wrong. You see... My younger brother, right? I'm the oldest, so they're all younger than me, but... My younger brother is annoying. And I can understand where the B-man comes from. So I'm going to give you an example. I have a juice cup right here, right?

SPEAKER_00

This

SPEAKER_03

juice cup.

SPEAKER_00

That's the right we don't want to hear.

SPEAKER_03

This juice cup, he's got an identical one. Identical in every sense of the way down to the molecular structure. But his is so much better. Because his can fly. Mine can glide through the air, but his can fly. Mine is, you know, it's got that silvers stuff on but his is shiny real shiny so there's that sibling rivalry like dude can't you accept that we have the identical thing no no I have it better than you

SPEAKER_00

he's a one-upper

SPEAKER_03

oh yeah extremely so instead of being you know a humble word or I'm being humble right and I'm pretty sure the beat man's really humble when he's around his brother's like hey listen you know what I just got this thing in the mail you know I think it was great oh I got that five weeks ago, and it's like this. It's so phenomenal. Oh, mine does the same thing, but mine is so much better. At some point, you just want to go, would you shut the fuck up?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you know how I fix them.

SPEAKER_03

How's that?

SPEAKER_00

When you're having those discussions, you'd be like, hey, you know what? Oh, yeah? Well, I invented the color blue.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, back to that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Back to that right there. It

SPEAKER_02

is actually funny when she does it because everybody else laughs except that person

SPEAKER_00

that she says that to. Because they

SPEAKER_02

just don't get it usually. What? Yeah, anyway. Yeah, what I find annoying is that the the little one the little fella the little brother

SPEAKER_00

yeah

SPEAKER_02

he has a lot of the same interest as me but

SPEAKER_00

that's what i think it's funny about it

SPEAKER_02

but yet if i talk with him about something like that that i also like my opinion is always wrong his is always right i'm like what the

SPEAKER_03

fuck yeah i'm straight

SPEAKER_00

yeah funniest weird was you guys were talking about comics and you're like and you both like batman and you were talking about batman the blah blah blah series and he's like oh yeah no that one's terrible this one's so much better and this writer is so much better and blah, blah, blah, blah. That one's not even a great series. They shouldn't even bring it out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like,

SPEAKER_00

what? Really? Like 80,000 people like Batman.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. But not only, but he gets mad, like actually mad at me.

SPEAKER_00

And he's defending his point of view on why that Batman graphic novel is not good. Like, okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I mean, I've got 12 more years of Batman reading on him, but that's fine.

UNKNOWN

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It's okay. Yeah. And if I like a movie that he likes or that he's watched, if I like it, he doesn't like it. It's always the opposite. He never agrees with me about anything. I'm like, you know, it's really hard to try to have a bonding experience with someone who just refuses to bond with you. But yet, if my son had said, oh, I really like this movie, he could like the same movie as me, and then my little brother would agree with him that it was a good movie. Yep. Yet, if I say it, it's not.

SPEAKER_03

Yep. I get it.

SPEAKER_02

I really do. So I'm just like, well, let him bond with my children then and

SPEAKER_00

it's kind of weird because like the age difference is almost like the same the opposite way so he's that much years older than your kid so then he's like he's directly

SPEAKER_02

in the middle

SPEAKER_00

of us right yeah

SPEAKER_02

so yeah so yeah so when your so when your mother harps on you about these things as mine does I'm like I've tried

SPEAKER_00

So

SPEAKER_02

what do you want me to do? Keep trying over and over again? Well, you are

SPEAKER_03

the peacemaker.

SPEAKER_00

And be in the situations that's just not fun for you. So you get to be miserable to make the rest of them happy.

SPEAKER_03

Here's a simple solution. The simplest you can come up with, and it'll work every time. Be quiet. Bring Tremonday. No, no, bring Tremonday.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. Bring my black friend. That'll go over. My black gay friend. Oh, yeah. I mean, that'll go over great, Rons.

SPEAKER_03

So. So why does he have to be black and gay? Because he's black and gay.

SPEAKER_02

Because

SPEAKER_03

he's black and gay. He's a twofer. So would they find that offensive?

SPEAKER_00

Well, we find it great. Well, let's put it

SPEAKER_02

this way. I would not bring Tremonde to meet my older brother or my father. My mother, yes. My brother and my dad, no. Because they're

SPEAKER_03

assholes. Now, this is interesting. Why is that? Well, I just said because they're assholes. Yeah, but Tremonti has this way of calming everybody down.

SPEAKER_02

You can't calm down ignorance. You can't calm ignorance, Rons. You can't make people calm who have a frequency of stupid notions. Hold on, hold on, hold on. No, first of all, you don't understand. You're

SPEAKER_03

probably right, I don't. No, I'm trying to explain it to you, but you keep talking. Well, I was going to say real quick, there's a difference between ignorance and stupidity.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, God, Ron. Are you going to keep doing

SPEAKER_03

that? Yeah, okay. Ignorance can be... You can learn, but stupidity you can't.

SPEAKER_02

I wish you would give us this definition every podcast.

SPEAKER_03

I will, every podcast. Anyway... Are we

SPEAKER_02

any closer to AI, Rons?

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. Why would you want to bring Tremonda? You just said because they're assholes.

SPEAKER_02

My older brother thinks it's against God's law to be gay. And has taught his children that also. And he's a minister. So I would never bring someone who's gay around my older brother. And my father, who's married to a brown woman, is racist. Hmm.

SPEAKER_03

Wow. I don't think I knew that. I think I've said it like a shitload of times.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you have.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. And

SPEAKER_00

the funny part is, I don't think he thinks he is, though. Right?

SPEAKER_02

Well, he's a typical white man. He's a typical privileged... I mean, his way of... I mean, they rule the world, basically. So, yeah. I mean, he used to tell racist jokes all the time. He still kind of does. And my mom's, not to do that thing again, but my mom's best friend from as long as I can remember is black. Yeah. So no, I would never bring, yeah.

I mean, I would allow them to meet him if they were at my home, but I would never take Tremondi to a family function to meet those assholes, because I would not do that to Tremondi.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, why would you put poor little Tremondi into that environment? I love

SPEAKER_01

my little baby.

SPEAKER_00

No, he's just a baby. Let's

SPEAKER_03

flip the script here. Tremondi, would you take the B-Men to a family reunion? I've met his family.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. His family's fun. Well, let him

SPEAKER_03

answer, not you. His family's cool.

SPEAKER_02

Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. Now, it probably wouldn't take you. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I want to go to Tremonday's church. Oh, yeah. That's a good time.

SPEAKER_02

I don't. I

SPEAKER_00

don't want to go to church. You'll be there

SPEAKER_02

for hours. Yeah. Exactly. I don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_00

You know they serve some good food.

SPEAKER_02

Again, why are we fighting diabetes and heart disease?

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I want to go on the Sunday that they serve food.

SPEAKER_02

You don't have to put hot sauce on everything. You

SPEAKER_00

don't?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, you do.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_03

You know what sodium is in hot sauce? Well, you can get non-sodium hot sauce.

SPEAKER_00

It probably tastes great.

SPEAKER_03

Totally tastes the same.

SPEAKER_00

Give me that low-sodium, Franks. No.

SPEAKER_03

I would go to Tremontage Church as long as one requirement was met.

SPEAKER_02

We'd be sick. They're on a roll today. Well, yeah, as long as

SPEAKER_03

they like. Would he be singing in the choir?

SPEAKER_02

You are so gay. Why? I would love to see Tremonti perform in the choir. I bet you'd like to see him perform. You'd like to see him perform. You'd like to see him perform oral.

SPEAKER_03

Well, is it singing rather oral? I knew he was going to say that.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, that's an AI predicament.

SPEAKER_03

He's

SPEAKER_02

trying to justify his use of the word oral.

SPEAKER_03

How did AI

SPEAKER_02

pop

SPEAKER_01

up again? again.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I don't have a reason why I would go to church, but if Tremonti was in the choir saying, hey, I'm going to be in the choir that day, I would go to see it.

SPEAKER_02

I would like to go to church to see Tremonti's oral presentation.

SPEAKER_03

There you go. I hear he's a master. If I could blush, I would right now.

SPEAKER_02

I heard he's a master oralator. Ron, the word is orator.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah,

SPEAKER_02

I was

SPEAKER_03

going to say orator, but you know what? No matter what I say, you're going to mess it up anyway. So it makes it sound like I'm an idiot.

SPEAKER_00

You do a pretty good job on your own.

SPEAKER_03

I knew you were going to say that too. You

SPEAKER_00

do

SPEAKER_03

a great job.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know how this became a discussion about my family.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I have a funny one. So we were... In

SPEAKER_02

Detroit?

SPEAKER_00

No, halfway between here and Detroit. Where are you from? I'm from Detroit. Usually I meet my cute little grandma and my aunt halfway between. Here in Detroit. So we met. We're hanging out, doing our little thing. There's a little group of us together. And all of a sudden, my grandma was telling a story. Shut up, Ron. You're that bored that you yawn.

SPEAKER_02

No, he's a toddler.

SPEAKER_00

He is a toddler. He can't

SPEAKER_02

help himself. Oh, my God. I just woke up. You have a mute button. Okay, when I wake up in the morning, I don't spend the freaking first two hours yawning.

SPEAKER_03

I'm pretty sure you don't wake up and go straight into podcasting either. Oh,

SPEAKER_02

my

SPEAKER_00

God.

SPEAKER_02

Your life

SPEAKER_00

is

SPEAKER_02

your

SPEAKER_00

life. Oh, my God.

SPEAKER_03

Hey,

SPEAKER_00

I just worked eight hours, and now I am podcasting. I should be exhausted.

SPEAKER_02

Ron, you should go get that. It is

SPEAKER_03

hard to work from your house to go get a cup

SPEAKER_02

of coffee. Here's another thing that I find interesting about the Ron's when he bitches about how hard his job is. Nobody told you to not get a fucking education, Ron.

SPEAKER_03

No, you know what? You're right. All I did was fucking gone, and all of a sudden, that was it. You have

SPEAKER_02

a

SPEAKER_03

mute

SPEAKER_02

button, motherfucker. I

SPEAKER_03

have to... Edit out your bullshit. Yeah. That's why you're the sound engineer? Duh. All right. Anyway, come on.

SPEAKER_02

Once again, blue collar Ron, nobody told you not to get an education and get a job where you didn't have to take a package in the face. The only people who should be doing that for money are porn stars.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I love your enthusiasm, Swan. Yeah. Anyway, continue

SPEAKER_00

your story. So my cute little grandma's... Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, no, no. No,

SPEAKER_02

no, because my question was about porn, and yours was about your grandma.

SPEAKER_00

That's okay. You can segue in.

SPEAKER_02

We can bring it back to porn.

SPEAKER_00

We can bring it back to porn. We can bring it back to porn. You have to space it out

SPEAKER_02

a little bit, like two minutes after you tell a story about your grandmother, because otherwise you'll make it weird. There's a good podcast like Porn and Grandma.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I'm pretty sure you've probably looked that up, Ron. So my grandma's talking. It's

SPEAKER_02

called GILF porn.

UNKNOWN

Ew.

SPEAKER_02

That's gross. I mean, whatever.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Not that I've seen it. I mean, being a gilf doesn't mean you're old in the first place. I

SPEAKER_00

mean, you can be. Yeah, you're true. True. So my grandma said, my grandma, my aunt was talking about how my grandma. She talked

SPEAKER_02

about the really old gilf board.

SPEAKER_00

Can you shut up so that I can tell my story or I'm going to have to start all over again.

SPEAKER_03

I'm pretty sure the B-man should clear his browser history at some point.

SPEAKER_02

I have a private setting. I have a privacy browser

SPEAKER_00

setting. Good. Good to know. Good to know. So my aunt. was talking about her concern because my grandma is elderly cute little grandma gonna be 97 on her birthday which is the 4th of July happy birthday grandma

SPEAKER_02

happy birthday grandma she listens to our podcast every

SPEAKER_00

day no that's why I'm telling this story so my aunt is talking about how she's getting more concerned as she gets older that she should just leave her laundry upstairs and my aunt will come over once a week and do her laundry for her because her laundry is downstairs so she goes down so

SPEAKER_02

would you have to leave of her laundry upstairs

SPEAKER_00

yeah because she doesn't want her going up and down the stairs and falling and breaking a hip or you know whatever dropping the laundry basket and falling down the stairs with it and my grandma was like no I always do laundry I just carry it up one piece at a time you know a little piece at a time she's like oh great going up and down the stairs even more often I don't know which one's worse so she's like yeah I just did laundry the other day and I had to do a whole nother load and it was just

two things because I don't know if you've ever had this happen but she's like I thought it was just going to be a little fart and a piece came out.

SPEAKER_01

And sure, I was

SPEAKER_00

just like, grandma, you sharted. And she's like, what? And she's like, no, just a little piece came out. I thought I was going to die. Baby swan was dying. So yeah, she turned a perfectly safe conversation about safety into how she sharted. A

SPEAKER_02

little piece came out.

SPEAKER_00

Yep.

SPEAKER_02

That's not truly a shart though. I mean, Is it? I don't know. I mean, if you should, I mean, a shard is when you, you Hershey squirted a bit, right? Isn't it? I mean, you want to see some clarification. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I guess.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like a shard is just, I feel like a shard is, I feel like that's mostly poo particles.

SPEAKER_00

Well, it is just a bigger poo particle. It's like a poo asteroid.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, the way she's talking, she kind of just, she kind of launched, I mean.

UNKNOWN

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Did you say a Hershey squirt? Yes. Oh my god. From Grandma's description, it sounds like she literally launched a raisin.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, probably just a little raisin came out.

SPEAKER_03

Well, you know, one thing she doesn't have is an impacted bowel then.

SPEAKER_00

How do you

SPEAKER_03

know? You can still

SPEAKER_00

go around and actually you would be more likely to Hershey squirt around your impacted bowel. Yeah,

SPEAKER_03

Ron's. How did your mind get there, Ron? Because we're talking about fecal. And that's where the B-man went a couple podcasts ago.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, Ron's, I just want to ask you something. How's your mental? How's

SPEAKER_03

your mental, Ron's?

SPEAKER_00

How's your mental, Ron's?

SPEAKER_03

It's getting better. Some days it's better than most. So I appreciate the offer, even though you're being sarcastic. I will say that. Thank you for asking.

SPEAKER_00

Good. Good to know. All right. Oh,

SPEAKER_03

man.

SPEAKER_00

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, man.

SPEAKER_00

So, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You know, we make light of it, but in the reality of it, that's the difference between someone doing something god-awful and... I believe the question is dumb.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think...

SPEAKER_03

I think the house of mental is a

SPEAKER_02

weird

SPEAKER_03

way to

SPEAKER_02

say

SPEAKER_03

it. Yeah, if you were talking to your friends... No, and that's

SPEAKER_02

a

SPEAKER_03

difference of opinion. No, that's

SPEAKER_00

a difference of

SPEAKER_02

opinion that I get. Why don't we get

SPEAKER_00

the... Why don't we get the opinion of our resident... Tremonde that you know he takes either side and he's the calming presence why don't you ask that question to him and see what he thinks runs

SPEAKER_03

Why you've asked it so it doesn't need to be asked.

SPEAKER_00

So if someone just came up to you Tremonde That you know and or you work with and they just said hey, how's your mental? What would you think of that question?

SPEAKER_02

Framed that way

SPEAKER_00

I

SPEAKER_02

will find it to be very... Disrespectful because it sounds as though they're implying something is mentally wrong with me. As opposed to, I believe, asking like, how are you doing mentally is one thing, but to say, how's your mental? Just the framing of that. For me, it would be difficult to answer. Like, I would first have a conversation with them to help them re-articulate their question. That's all I'm saying. I don't think it's a rude question.

I think it's a very nice question that you say, Ron. I just think it's a weird, I think it's a bizarre way to articulate it

SPEAKER_03

okay i get that i get that i get that

SPEAKER_02

i mean especially since you're having conversations with your fellow veteran which is cool i mean literally i mean literally in that case i would probably just go up to him and say hey bro buddy check they know what that means we all know i mean us vets all know what that means oh yeah yeah yeah i get that otherwise otherwise it just sounds you just sound like a fucking crazy

SPEAKER_00

person and then maybe

SPEAKER_02

you're mental and plus you're also saying it where other people might hear overhear you saying mental that

SPEAKER_00

That's what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_02

Whereas because we're all vets, you know, the person you're talking to knows what it means to say buddy check. Like, hey, what's up, bro? Buddy check. They know what you're talking about. I mean, I'm sure you know what that, I mean, I'm assuming you know what that term is.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Yeah. How you doing today? You know what I mean? What's your frame of mind? No.

SPEAKER_00

No. You can say what he exact said. Buddy check. Like, that's like code word for how is your mental? Instead of everybody in the room hearing you say, how's your mental? And he's like, yeah, I'm feeling fucking crazy today. Well,

SPEAKER_02

I was feeling fine until you brought it up. I was holding it together. But then, but then, anyway. Anyways. Anyways. What was I going

SPEAKER_03

to say?

SPEAKER_00

So.

SPEAKER_03

So. I have a question for Tremont if we're going to do the Gay Side Project. The Gay Side Prime.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, well, thanks for that segue. That was seamless. That was great. And now it's time for that portion of the show where the ignorant members of the Slaptail Squad ask Tremonde questions about...

SPEAKER_00

Something gay. Something

SPEAKER_02

gay. Or whatever. That's my underwear. Good job, Ron. Yeah, nice. And now it's time for Pride Side Chat with Tremonde. Special chocolate. Our own personal pudding pop. All right. I like that last part because I put that in. Whoa.

SPEAKER_03

You are so freaking talented. I am. I am. Thank you. Thank you very much. So, Tremonde, the question I have for you on this segue piece is, what is a common myth that you would like to dispel about being gay?

SPEAKER_02

that gay people are intolerant of stupid questions. Some things that immediately come to mind is that not all gays are fems, and I think we are starting to see a lot more diversity as to how gay people do not just have one look. And most often, we were associated to be all fems, meaning we were more

SPEAKER_03

feminine in our dress.

UNKNOWN

Feminine.

SPEAKER_03

By femmes, you mean feminine.

SPEAKER_02

I wasn't sure that that needed to be clarified, but thank you for

SPEAKER_03

that. Well, I just want to make sure to our listening audience out there

SPEAKER_02

that they understand. I like how Ron assumes that the rest of the... He assumes that the listening audience is as ignorant as him. I

SPEAKER_00

know your audience, Ron.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I'm not ignorant, but... I'm not ignorant, but I want them to understand that, you know, hey... Ron's. Yes. Get your butt checked. Yeah, so that's one. So what do you think the biggest common myth is? I didn't know there was a lot of myths out there. There are. Believe it or not, there are. And that's just one of them. I mean, when you look at the... And I'm not gay, but one of the things that I tend to see is that from what Tremonde just... No, but from what Tremonde said, it's like...

When you look at some of the classic movie characters that we grew up with, like Robin Williams in the birdcage, right? Nathan Lane's character, completely feminine, right?

SPEAKER_02

Right, but Robin Williams wasn't. So it showed two different... No,

SPEAKER_03

he was in certain aspects. No? But there were...

SPEAKER_02

He wasn't anywhere near as extreme as the other character was. He wasn't super feminine.

UNKNOWN

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

but that's where I was going with from Monday is like, he's like, not everybody fits that mold.

SPEAKER_02

Well, not every woman, not every woman is super feminine either, whether they're a header or not. Right. So that's

SPEAKER_03

true.

SPEAKER_02

Some of them don't shave their legs. Agreed. And I like hairy legs, but to have hairy legs on a woman? No, not a fan.

SPEAKER_03

Not a fan. No. So are there any other common myths out there that can be discussed? Clearly

SPEAKER_00

you're the one who knows the myths. What common myths do you want him to discuss

SPEAKER_03

with you? No, no, no, no, no. This is from his point of view that I don't...

SPEAKER_02

Again, he's not Bigfoot.

SPEAKER_03

Well, all right.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, Virginia, gay people do

SPEAKER_03

exist. Well, I know that. But we, you know, like for Christmas, when I asked about the gay pride gift. It's just pride. Pride gift, yeah. It's literally just pride. Pride gift. And he's like, no, I wouldn't feel offended by it. And then what really flipped me was when the swan found out what he was getting, it's like, oh, I'd like that too. She threw off the gift that I'd actually gotten her because she wasn't 12 anymore.

SPEAKER_00

It's all good. It's all good. He's bringing it back to himself

SPEAKER_02

and

SPEAKER_00

his insecurity about gift giving.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway, I think the point is... Without getting too far into it, because that's not what our podcast is about, is that the idea of pride encompasses everybody, not just people who are part of that community. It's supposed to be for everybody. It's supposed to be about accepting life in general. Yeah. So just because you're a heterosexual doesn't mean you aren't part of pride. Right.

SPEAKER_00

Can't we all just get along?

SPEAKER_03

Unless you're P-Man's younger brother. No. I don't think

SPEAKER_02

they're the older brother also. I think they just don't like me. Let's just be honest.

SPEAKER_00

That's probably it. That's probably true. You're

SPEAKER_02

jealous of your success. I should stop trying. No, they think they're more successful than I am.

SPEAKER_00

That is, I feel that is true.

SPEAKER_02

Not only do they think they're more successful than me, let's just put it this way. Both of them have tastes that are disproportionate to their lifestyle, in my opinion. The one who has the, the one who's more modest in everything that he does is me. Like they want to go to expensive restaurants. I'm like, not fun, not a fan, don't like it. My favorite place to eat, one of my favorite places to eat is our local bowling alley. So I don't fit that whole thing that they do.

By the way, I highly recommend you guys try our local bowling alley. Delicious cheeseburgers and beer batter fries.

SPEAKER_03

I'm going to have to try that. Field trip. Yeah, field trip. So what is the other things that set you apart from them then? Other than your opinion on Batman.

SPEAKER_02

I think that they're both jealous of how good looking I am.

SPEAKER_00

This is dashing. Good looks.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's not a reason. I think they are.

SPEAKER_03

Would it be because also that you stay in shape?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, neither one. No, they're not in shape. I think they have shapes.

SPEAKER_03

Ron is a shape as we've been told. Yeah. What about you, Tremonda? Do you have any jealous siblings like the B-Man or I? No. Why do I find that so easy to believe? Because they're so mellow.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like your mom would have

SPEAKER_02

liked... His one brother is the only one that I sort of kind of know. I can't even remember his name. Such a nice kid. So I just naturally assume they're all super nice because they just well behaved. What's your brother's name? So I have a brother named Tevin. He's the baby brother. And then Cordell is in the middle.

SPEAKER_03

You know, that's ironic because one of the guys I work with, his name is Tevin.

SPEAKER_02

Why is that

SPEAKER_03

ironic? Because you don't hear that name too often. I think it's

SPEAKER_02

just a coincidence. That's not irony. Okay. It's AI. It's AI. It probably is. I don't think

SPEAKER_00

that's ironic. Maybe

SPEAKER_02

it's the synchronicity. But it's not ironic.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_02

By

SPEAKER_03

chance, is Tevin employed?

SPEAKER_02

Yes. What, you just naturally assume that he's not? Is that

SPEAKER_01

what you're saying? Hold on.

SPEAKER_02

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Ron. You just naturally assume as a young black man he's not employed? Maybe he's incarcerated. Maybe you also assume he's incarcerated. Maybe he's got some gangland

SPEAKER_00

tests. I feel like Ron's Tevin is not black.

SPEAKER_03

I figured pretty much Tevin would probably be in college.

SPEAKER_02

Come on in. Is he white? No. No, he's not

SPEAKER_03

white.

SPEAKER_02

Unfortunately. Is

SPEAKER_03

he employed?

SPEAKER_02

Yes. He just naturally assumed that he's not. Is that it,

SPEAKER_03

Ron? Well, like I said, I thought he might be in college because he's the younger brother of Tremonde, so...

SPEAKER_00

How young do you think Tremonde is? How young do

SPEAKER_02

you think Tremonde is?

SPEAKER_03

In his 20s or 30s.

SPEAKER_00

Ooh, you just got... Yeah, he's

SPEAKER_02

in his 30s, but he's not in his

SPEAKER_03

20s. He's got great genetics. Look how great he looks.

SPEAKER_00

Don't be jealous. I'm

SPEAKER_03

not. I mean, the B-man's going to be jealous here, but I'm not. I'm

SPEAKER_02

a lot closer to 40 than I am 30.

SPEAKER_03

Honestly, I didn't know. Why

SPEAKER_02

am I jealous?

SPEAKER_03

Because you're not going to be as good looking as the Tremonti when you get to that age.

SPEAKER_02

I've already passed his age. What

SPEAKER_00

are you talking about? He doesn't know. It's the dementia. Oh, Ron. He's trying to dig his foot out of his mouth. No one believes you

SPEAKER_03

that you flip everything that I say on me. Well,

SPEAKER_02

they probably do. So

SPEAKER_03

anyway, I'm trying to make sure it's not the same Tevin that we know. You

SPEAKER_00

know there's probably way more than two Tevins in this world?

SPEAKER_03

You know you are absolutely right. You're absolutely right. I will give you that.

SPEAKER_00

I'm going to go about guarantee it's not the same person. Because I feel like by now, the Tremonde would have said, hey, you work with my brother.

SPEAKER_03

Not really. You wouldn't know that.

SPEAKER_00

How would he not if you promote your podcast so much, Rons? I'm pretty sure that you told your Tevin about our podcast. And he'd be like, hey, that's a coincidence. I have a brother named Tremonde that does a podcast. And there's

SPEAKER_02

only

SPEAKER_00

two of them in

SPEAKER_02

the world. Exactly. Yeah. So I just became Ron a little bit and I looked up something while we were recording.

SPEAKER_00

You did.

SPEAKER_02

So since 2018, there are 11,228 Tevens. Wow. I'm going to go on a limb and say that the guy that runs works with his name is Steven.

SPEAKER_01

But

SPEAKER_02

better yet, Kevin. It's something like that. It's just not Tevin. Or worse, he's actually Latino, and his name is Estevan. And so he's like, oh, Tevin, nice to meet you. And because he's also kind of brown, he just naturally assumes that it's probably your brother, Tramonde. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Ron.

SPEAKER_00

Ron's doesn't see color.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Don't ever be one of those people. He

SPEAKER_00

is one of those people. Not anymore, he's not.

SPEAKER_02

Not anymore, he's not. You can't say, here's one of the things you gotta say about Ron's. First of all, Ron's puts up with all

SPEAKER_03

of

SPEAKER_02

our shit. No, no shit. Ron's plays his role very well. You have to give Ron's a lot of credit for the shit that he puts up

SPEAKER_03

with. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_02

But he also brings most of it on himself, which is good. But again, you have to be impressed that Roz puts up with all this garbage that we give him. I appreciate it. It doesn't really excuse his ignorance, but it's so funny. Anyway. Anyway. So

SPEAKER_03

I was, you know, I thought about long and hard about... Penis?

SPEAKER_01

Awkward pause again. I thought long and hard

SPEAKER_02

about... We told you last week. Wasn't it last week we told you that you picked the wrong time to pause? Because my brain, okay, I'm not a genius, but I've spent my entire life arming myself against bullies by using my mouth. Not that way, Rons. Using my wit and using my sarcasm. So my brain thinks very quickly. If you pause, I'm going to fill in that pause.

SPEAKER_00

When Rons thinks long and hard.

SPEAKER_02

Penis, about

SPEAKER_00

penis. About penis.

SPEAKER_02

You know, All of our minds went there,

SPEAKER_00

Ron. All of our minds went there. So everybody else you have conversations with, that happens to you too.

SPEAKER_03

All right. So I went back. And one of the, I have a lesbian friend at work, and I said, what's one of the things that you would dispel about being gay?

SPEAKER_02

This is one of the long, I thought Tremondi's segment was over, but you're bringing it right back around.

SPEAKER_03

Well, because he doesn't really get too much airtime because he's never on. So I figure pretty much we give

SPEAKER_02

him a little bit more. But I don't think that he needs to have a whole half of the freaking time devoted

SPEAKER_00

to you. I want to see where Ron's is going. I want to see where Ron's is going. I just think

SPEAKER_02

that it's interesting that he has a lesbian friend and now he's going to ask her a bunch of obnoxious

SPEAKER_00

questions. I feel like, how does,

SPEAKER_02

yeah. You know what? Next thing you know, Ron, she's going to bring her whole softball team around and they're going to whoop your ass.

SPEAKER_03

All right.

SPEAKER_02

Why don't you ask her about, if you're asking about all those myths and dispelling myths, ask her, she's like, ask her if she plays softball. There's a myth. There you go. They all play softball. How about that, Ron? Try that one.

SPEAKER_03

I will ask her that when I see her. Now

SPEAKER_02

go ahead and ask your question

SPEAKER_03

because

SPEAKER_00

Swan

SPEAKER_02

wants to hear what question

SPEAKER_00

you're going to ask. Yeah, I do.

UNKNOWN

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So my question is, what other myths did you dispel? Jesus, you already

SPEAKER_00

asked that question.

SPEAKER_03

I thought

SPEAKER_02

you were going to ask a more pinpoint question than that.

SPEAKER_00

No, you were going to tell us a story about... I'd

SPEAKER_02

much rather hear about Swan's little old grandma

SPEAKER_00

shooting

SPEAKER_02

a nugget out her

SPEAKER_00

ass. It was just a piece. It was just a little piece. But she did have to wash an extra load of laundry for that. I don't know why she couldn't just wash that pair of underwear in a sink or

SPEAKER_02

something.

SPEAKER_00

It

SPEAKER_02

was

SPEAKER_00

just a little piece. It probably wasn't messy. Oh

SPEAKER_02

my God. I think what's important is that Ron, you really are asking very broad questions when you should just ask a more specific question.

SPEAKER_00

Like what? Do you have one? No, I'm just, he asked these

SPEAKER_02

very broad questions instead of just asking a specific one. Like, here's a good one for me. Here's a good one. Like, why do you use lotion all the time? When I was in the Army, obviously I didn't know black people where I grew up, but a lot of my friends in the Army were black. And my good buddy... I would hang out in his room when we would get ready for the day because he lived in the barracks and I lived off post. And so, of course, he had all this lotion.

I'm like, why the fuck do you have so much lotion? He's like, because we get ashy. I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? He's like, we get ashy. If we don't use lotion, we get ashy. That's a very specific question. Like, why do you guys use lotion all the time? You're asking a very broad question. You're going,

SPEAKER_01

what

SPEAKER_02

myth? Oh, I don't know. Unicorns are real. What myth are you asking? Ask a very specific question.

SPEAKER_03

The reason in general is because it's a very broad question, because there are a lot of myths

SPEAKER_01

out there. That's why I'm just saying, ask a specific myth.

SPEAKER_02

For example, is it myth that all Black guys are well hung? That's a specific question. That is not a myth. They are most, let's just put it, okay, they are more well hung than most everybody else.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_02

Swan said, Swan, have we seen

SPEAKER_00

some? Dude, I'm a freaking nerd. I've seen probably more of both genitalia than you have. I've seen a lot

SPEAKER_02

of nationalities' penises. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

And as a general rule. A lot of

SPEAKER_02

nationalities' ethnicities, as a general rule, the swan is correct, as a general rule, our black friends have much bigger dicks than everybody else.

SPEAKER_00

But I mean, that one that doesn't, he's an exception, and he probably feels real bad about it, and it's still bigger than most non... ethnic people.

SPEAKER_02

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

The only ones that I would say that are pretty statistically very similar that I've seen are people from like the Middle East. They also have some big hunkers that I've

SPEAKER_00

seen. That's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Very dark hunkers. Yeah. They're very dark. Their genitals are very dark. And I'm like, hi Bob. And I'm

SPEAKER_00

like, oh yeah. That looks kind of like an anteater. A little scary. like an elephant trunk a little scary yeah

SPEAKER_02

look at the ron he's just imagining now

SPEAKER_03

he's

SPEAKER_02

like oh

SPEAKER_03

yeah no i'm gonna think long

SPEAKER_02

and

SPEAKER_03

hard no because i'm trying to choose my words comment without being thrown right back at me

SPEAKER_02

you gotta make it funny man you just don't go with it ron creepy like well where do we're making it funny you pause and you make it creepy

SPEAKER_03

Okay. I get that. I get that.

SPEAKER_02

I can talk about penises and be funny. You talk about them. It sounds like, I don't know what it sounds like. It doesn't sound great.

SPEAKER_03

Well, first of all, your profession allows you to talk about it and you have a background in it. So if I talk about it, yeah, if I talk about it, I don't have that professional background that you have. And then it seems creepy.

SPEAKER_02

I have a, a major in nursing and a minor in genitalia.

SPEAKER_03

There you go. There

SPEAKER_02

you go. There you go. Now Tremonti's intrigued about the whole Middle Eastern really dark genitals. I know, right? Super dark, eh?

SPEAKER_03

You notice he had to take off his glasses so we could look what he was actually looking up. Super dark, you say?

SPEAKER_02

They've been off, Ron.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, look how observant you are. When I

SPEAKER_02

started hollering at the bee man and his diabetes joke at the funeral. Oh, my goodness. That was a good one. I don't even know what we talked about. to watch today.

SPEAKER_00

We've not had very many funny stories that happened except for my grandma's Chardon.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that was pretty funny. My stories are in the reading. I didn't have any stories because I always get mad.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I mean, our own family story, we already talked about it, how, you know, we talked about Grandpa's penis at the table. That was pretty funny. Even

SPEAKER_02

those children, I don't know about those

SPEAKER_00

two.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. And not once did, I knew where you were leading me, I didn't mention anything related to a certain subject that I know you want

SPEAKER_02

me to mention. Do you know what you want to? No, we just wanted to see how well you would, if you could handle yourself, but you maintained. I did. all right. I did.

SPEAKER_03

All

SPEAKER_02

right. Well, let me see. Updates. Updates. Any updates? Here's an update for you. Swan doesn't know how to use Instagram. She doesn't.

SPEAKER_00

I bet Tremondi doesn't either.

SPEAKER_03

Oh. Oh. He does.

SPEAKER_00

Nope.

SPEAKER_02

I don't have a single post on Instagram.

SPEAKER_00

See? I don't feel bad then.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Rons, can I get some tech help from you then?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

I'll meet you at the library in

SPEAKER_02

1993. Yeah, she can teach you how to access your email. Awesome. He can set up a Hotmail account for you, Swan.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

AOL.com.

SPEAKER_02

That

SPEAKER_03

still exists?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. That's probably your first email. No, it's not even going to be your first email address. Net

SPEAKER_02

zero. He's got

SPEAKER_00

some net zero going on. Net zero, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Net zero. Oh, net zero Juno? Wow. Rocketmail? That's going back a while. ways. Okay. It really is.

SPEAKER_00

We've spiked the interest

SPEAKER_03

of Ron's. No, no. I also looked up a comedy thing of how to develop a comedy.

SPEAKER_02

How to develop comedy.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so, yeah. Be funny. Yeah, that's exactly it. It's like, there was this process about it. It's like, if you have a voice, which we, I'll link to an earlier podcast, is how you develop that voice. It doesn't become a character. And I thought that was so cool.

SPEAKER_00

Jumanji's dying. I don't know if he's going to be okay over there. Oh, my gosh.

SPEAKER_02

Ron said, how to develop comedy. You look

SPEAKER_01

that up.

SPEAKER_03

Actually, it was a mini lecture on it, and I was intrigued by it. You sat and watched it? Yeah, I did, actually. I did.

SPEAKER_02

Actually, if you look it

SPEAKER_03

up, it's Mike Myers. That's comedy right

SPEAKER_00

there.

SPEAKER_03

No, it was... Mike Myers who gives it.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's how to develop Canadian comedy.

SPEAKER_03

However, the way he set it up is like his dad would not allow anybody in the house that wasn't funny. Right? And he went through the process of how he came up with some of his characters.

SPEAKER_02

Where are you going with this? Where are you going with this exactly?

SPEAKER_03

Just

SPEAKER_02

something I thought was funny. I just want to know, what was your line of thought to start bringing up this particular...

SPEAKER_03

Well, you wanted to know what we were doing this week, and I thought that was great. You know, when was the last time...

SPEAKER_00

Who said that?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, hold on. I'm getting there. It's like, have we In your head?

SPEAKER_02

Was that a

SPEAKER_03

question? In your head? Yes, in my head. In my head. So I was thinking that, you know, it's...

SPEAKER_00

I like penis.

SPEAKER_03

We all know you like penis. We do. But do you like Tremonti's penis versus the B-man's?

SPEAKER_00

Why would I like it? Why would you even go? Oh, boy. I'm

SPEAKER_03

grasping at Strauss because you guys keep backing me into a corner. Just

SPEAKER_02

put your hands in your pocket, Ron. Don't grasp for anything.

SPEAKER_00

Don't touch it. No. Just

SPEAKER_02

thump it, Ron. Help it. I was actually taught that by a senior nurse. She said, if somebody gets a... That's what you do. She's like, you freaking... Help it, one. I was like, okay, good to know. Hopefully that won't happen to me too often, but should it? She's like, pow. Unless they're a... What do you say, guys? Who do you say were the hung guys? Who do you say were the other hung guys? What do you say to them? What? I say, what did you say were the other hung guys?

SPEAKER_01

Middle Eastern. Oh, the Middle Eastern. Unless, like, one

SPEAKER_02

of them have a hard-on, then you thump it, and then it, like, bounces back and...

SPEAKER_00

Hits you in the face, and you're like,

SPEAKER_02

ooh, duck, duck. Exactly. That's why you practice shadow boxing, dodge the penis.

SPEAKER_00

Ron's just like, sign me

SPEAKER_02

up! You dodge the penis. So you dodge the penis, and then you punch it in the balls like it's a freaking speed bag. You guys are going to go to the dojo one day, and then there's going to be, like, black garbage bags over all the windows. Oh, yeah. Another thing I should do is actually, you know, how you have, like, the pads and stuff that people hit, I should just make a big penis that's really high. Dodge it, punch it, dodge it, punch it.

SPEAKER_00

And he'll be like, bring it

SPEAKER_02

on! He misses, takes it in the face. Boom. forons.

SPEAKER_00

He's like, I'll just be quiet over here because anything I say is going to be used against me. It

SPEAKER_03

is. I should just get that.

SPEAKER_02

Mix it up a bit, have a bunch of different colored penises.

SPEAKER_00

He's like, I don't see color.

SPEAKER_03

It should be just that, you know. I

SPEAKER_02

don't see color. Well, it's interesting that you don't see color. For some reason, you're able to dodge the white one, but the black one, that one, you just keep getting in the face. I don't know how That was flipping by you if you don't see color. I don't...

SPEAKER_03

There you

SPEAKER_01

go. There you go. There you go. Oh, yeah.

UNKNOWN

Oh, my God.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, this hurts so bad. This hurts. What's

SPEAKER_03

even better is a shout out to all who listen and to some of the locals. How's that even better? No, no, I'll get to that in a second. Is that when they listen, they're like, man, the B-man really comes after you. It's like, well, because he's got a huge penis. But when he, you know, it's like.

SPEAKER_00

Why? Not to make it creepier. I don't make it creepy. I

SPEAKER_03

know it. It's like they don't believe until they listen to the podcast

SPEAKER_02

or whatever I say. You tell people that I come after you because I have a huge penis. No, I don't. If you've actually said that, I'm like, what is wrong with you?

SPEAKER_03

No. But I say, whatever I say, he flips.

SPEAKER_00

I think he thinks you're Middle Eastern.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, Lord Jesus. Amen.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, God. Oh, Jesus, Lord. Just took a penis in the face. Help me. Help me.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, God. I

SPEAKER_00

didn't dodge that penis. Look out for that penis right here.

SPEAKER_03

I say, whatever I say, I got to be careful because the B-man and the swan will switch it on me real quick. Now, the thing about the swan is she'll choose a size whoever's winning. The voice of reason is Tremonde, though. Whatever I tend to say, if I say it wrong, Tremonde kind of steps in and says, this is how Ron's meant to say it. And I'm like, yeah, that's how I meant to say it. Sometimes he

SPEAKER_02

can't even

SPEAKER_03

defend you. Sometimes I

SPEAKER_01

can't.

SPEAKER_03

Sometimes he's just like, I don't want to defend you because I know where it's going to go. But I do appreciate it. Yes, he does appreciate it.

SPEAKER_02

All right well that's it for me from the bee man what a fun time just laughing um and as always you remember you can catch us on apple podcast spotify google podcast amazon music stitcher i heart radio still not on pandora for some reason i think it's because we talk about penises i don't know tuning plus alexa podcast attic pod chaser pocket cast anywhere you want to listen to podcasts and of course the runs his favorites deezer oh

SPEAKER_02

don't make love to the swan. Never have, never will. I don't. I don't make love. When you're

SPEAKER_03

in mid-coitus, you yell.

SPEAKER_01

I don't do that either.

SPEAKER_03

I don't call it coitus either. But what do you call it then?

SPEAKER_01

I call

SPEAKER_02

I call it. First of all, I'm not a 1940s romance novel. No, I don't call it making

SPEAKER_03

love. I was trying to be politically correct. Thanks

SPEAKER_02

for trying to be politically correct on our politically correct podcast. I just want her to look like the powdered donut. I want every fantasy I've ever had has looked like little powdered donut from now until the end of time. And

SPEAKER_00

I want little powdered donut as she is today, not 22-year-old hot, tight little powdered donut.

SPEAKER_02

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Tight little. I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, so you don't want that? What? No, I want that. Mm-hmm. Oh, so you don't like what you have?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, there we go. There's that coin flip.

SPEAKER_02

There's

SPEAKER_03

that coin flip.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway, you can also find us on Buzzsprout. Our website is theslaptalesquad.buzzsprout.com and that's all I had to say before I was so rudely interrupted by the Rons. That's it for me. Adios. Mooch.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, penis?

SPEAKER_03

Fuckos. No. Where'd that come from?

SPEAKER_00

I was inserting a pause when, like you do, Rons. I was just putting in words there that do usually go there when you pause.

SPEAKER_02

Adios, muchachos.

SPEAKER_00

Bye. From the Swan.

SPEAKER_03

Deuces. Shout out to JD for his podcast, The Monster's Lair. Thanks for a couple weeks ago for being out there.

SPEAKER_02

It's actually just last week, Rons.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

He's just trying to not get made fun of, so he's going to

SPEAKER_02

say something positive.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. And on a more personal note, thanks for the B-man for being who he is and the swan and Tremonde, because it's great to see Tremonde again. And stay sane, motherfuckers. It's crazy out there. And go home and just

SPEAKER_02

make love to those that you're intimate with. Making love is... Using Swiss Navy lube. Maybe

SPEAKER_00

do some coitus.

SPEAKER_02

All right, yeah. Just don't let a piece come out.

SPEAKER_00

No pieces.

SPEAKER_02

Unless you're into that, and that's okay. And on a final

SPEAKER_03

note, Rons. Yes. I don't know how the vajayjay works.
