Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts, I'm Kevin, not Carl.
And we listen to podcasts that you don't have to.
We want to remind our listeners you can visit us on WhoAreThese.com or on our Facebook page.
We're always looking for new podcast suggestions, so leave us a comment or post a death threat.
On today's show we'll be reviewing a show called Women of the Hour with Lena Dunham.
As always we have listened to the episode separately, and not discussing each other beforehand,
so without further adee, let's find out oh once and for all, who are these podcasts?
It's show time. I'm a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P is the boarded.
Back slappers of the mordid.
Get out the couch everybody, because there's a couple of back slappers sitting on it.
I'm going to review.
Um, Kevin.
How's it going, man?
Good. Pretty good.
Yeah, how you doing?
I'm doing all right. I spent my morning listening to this terrible podcast with Lena Dunham. So I've been better, but I'm doing our
Yeah, I listened as well obviously as it has been the trend the last few weeks. Not a lot of clips that I could pull out of this. This was a really
difficult one to get through in terms of
of my feelings towards what they're talking about and stuff. I don't know. It just was a rough one
for me, but how did you do? Well, there were a couple. So the way that this show is structured,
it's very produced. It's a BuzzFeed show, lots of music beds,
lots of transitions.
And the way it's structured is they talk to,
I don't know, a dozen different women.
And they just have these mini segments of interviews
with these different women.
And they all have these different backgrounds.
And the overarching theme is body issues.
And the women talk is body issues.
And the women talk about their bodies and what that means.
So I definitely had some parts in here that I got some great clips from because it's painful
to listen to.
But then there were other parts where I did not touch it.
I'm not, you know, when there's a black transgender woman talking about being
misgendered I don't even know what that means I could only possibly offend
people talking about it so I just touched that yeah and that's kind of where I'm
coming from as far as like having problems with some of that so because I'm like
I'm just a white dude you know I mean like I'm just a normal white guy. So, so let's get, let's get the disclaimers out there, right? First
off, Kevin and I apologize for being white, man. You know, it's something that we did
on purpose and were assholes for it. So we apologize. But I do want to say, whatever we talk
about with this podcast, because it is terrible, that I am a big fan of women. I
Exclusively sleep with women
Every night
It's it's something that I enjoy doing so this is not to rag on women
This is just a rag on the specific women who talk in this podcast. We're judging these people on an individual basis
I am anyway
Yeah, speak for yourself, buddy.
No, no, I, I mean, I agree.
Obviously, I am a straight male, white male.
However, I am also grossly overweight.
So I understand some of the body issues that they also talk about in here too.
No, maybe I'm not
grossly overweight but I'm overweight but whatever. Some of them say gross. I
don't know. What the hell am I talking about here? Anyway we're gonna move forward
with this podcast and I didn't know anything about Lena Dunham. I know that
she has a show on HBO called Girls. I've
never watched the show. I don't know much about her. It seemed like all of a sudden she
was on the scene. So I don't know, I mean, did she, was she a writer before? I mean, like,
where did she come from? It was kind of a sudden like she has a show in HBO and that's this controversial thing because she's naked half the time and
You know she doesn't have the most spectacular body in the world and she's kind of proud of the fact that she's just an
average woman and I think that that's that's fine. That's I mean cool and man more power to you, but
Well, she does say something in the show
that I think it's pretty telling.
She talks about how she's making a living
telling jokes about how terrible her body is.
It's kind of her stick.
And even in the show, girls, which I, you know,
seen clips of, I haven't actually
set that set down a watch in an entire episode,
but yeah, she's oftentimes putting herself out there knowing
that it's not what you typically see on television as far as women engaged in coitus.
So she kind of wants to have it both ways because she knows that that's what's interesting
about her, but then at the same time, and she even says in the podcast, it's like, I can
make fun of, it's one of those things where you can make fun of your own mom,
but if someone else talks shit about your mommy,
you want to kill them.
Right.
You know, okay.
So you obviously want it both ways,
and that's how you're going to go about it.
I think it's cheating, but whatever, that's fine.
Well, she starts the show out reading mean tweets
that she's received, which I have a clip of some
of the mean tweets that she reads here.
Okay.
She looks like a warthog to me.
Hashtag truth.
Lena Dunham, hence her last name, equals Dunham equals cooked pig.
Lena Dunham looks like the type of person who likes to fart in her hand and smell it.
I want Lena Dunham's fat ass dead.
Lena Dunham looks like a toe.
Disgusting, quivering mass of horror is the best description of Lena Dunham I've ever
heard.
Lena Dunham does have a horrible body.
Hated every time she had her ugly naked ass body ungirls.
Hashtag Lena Dunham, Jesus Christ, what a fat ugly bitch black
All right, so
By the way that one where she f-fart in her hand and smell it. That's pretty funny. That was the only funny one
Yeah, I bet she could have I bet she could have found funnier tweets than that probably but then she she follows up that whole thing with this
That being said some of these details are so creative and so observant that they can't help but impress you. I mean I do look like a toe.
So you know she's got a sense of humor obviously about it and you know that
that's that's the cool part of it but yeah like you said she does she
interviews a lot of different women with varying I don't know what to call them.
They're not issues, I don't know what to say without getting in trouble.
So you sound like the sleep with me podcast guy where he's just like,
I'm going to work.
They're not issues, but they're tissues.
They're issues, space, space, nonsense.
No.
Let's sleep with me podcast that we did.
I've had more people tell me that they actually
listen to that podcast now.
I let me tell you, I do.
And it's pushing the sleep.
Yeah.
I don't know if they like it.
So let me play a clip from this show
that I think is a pretty good representation
of what you would hear if you subjected yourself
to 56 minutes of this nonsense.
Play, track 11, I call this Kevin,
who is listening to this garbage?
I have a lot of friends that were absolutely no makeup
and just feel great about that.
So I guess it's just to you know, to each around.
Yeah, because maybe it's that you can feel confident with makeup off or you can feel confident
with makeup on and either ones an okay choice.
Either ones an okay choice.
Amazing advice, the more you know.
Well, I mean, clearly this, this show is not aimed to you and I.
I mean, this is not a man.
But who is the target audience though?
What fucking dummy needs to hear that you can either
wear makeup or not wear makeup?
You can have some makeup on or what a makeup on or you
could have done or you could have a little.
Okay, we fucking get it.
Well, that is a good point.
That is so stupid.
OK, so the first guess she has on there is 80 Bryant from Silent
Live. Yep. And I pulled this clip, play track 2. You are so beautiful. Do not
let the producers tell you you ever have to change. Just don't let the
producers. And I was like, Oh my God, who are these terrifying mystery producers
who are like, you've got to lose the weight bitch
Those are producers. That's your doctor. Oh
You should listen to that guy. Oh, here we go
And we're on the offending train everybody
Everybody. Oh.
Yeah.
Well, Kevin, I mean, come on.
What are we talking about here?
This whole thing where you could be unhealthy
and women just get together and be like,
yeah, but that's who you are and that's great.
You should just do that.
Like let's just eat chicken wigs for breakfast and fuck it.
It's like, okay, I mean, can we be adults
and try to make smart decisions at some point?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, you can look at it at a...
What?
You don't have to celebrate ridiculous behavior, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Oh, gotcha.
I mean, I look at it like whatever, however you want to live your life, because she talks
about having stake as a snack.
Right.
Her, like, it's like, hey, if you want to do that, that's fine.
If you want to ignore your doctor and live
however you want to live, that's fine.
If you want to die early, you can.
I mean, that's all a choice that you can make.
I don't know.
I mean, I take it, I go at it from my aspect,
and I'm overweight and I'm diabetic
I've got all these these health issues and stuff and I could I choose to live a certain way and some people could be like
What a fuck don't you just exercise?
But you know I mean
But I gotta stop you though. Yeah here's here's the difference
We don't do a show about how awesome we are because we sit on our couches and slap our bags.
I'll fuck you.
We don't.
We don't do it.
I do, but could you imagine if we were just on here talking,
like guys would never do this.
Like we had a show where we were just justifying
and I get on and I was like, you know what,
Kevin last night I just started hitting the booths
and I just didn't stop.
I was, I drank so many leaders of vodka in one sitting.
It was unbelievable.
I just peed all over myself and you're like, good, man.
That's, that's you being you, man.
You, you do that.
You go for it.
That's pretty much.
I think we do, we've reviewed podcasts that are like that damn drunk.
Oh, that damn drunk is fucking, but that was awful.
Right, well, yeah.
So this is another thing that I find irritating.
I guess about Lena Dunham,
but just this whole approach to life,
played track three.
I call this in my best gym
quarantine impression. What are we five?
80 Brian is a friend who turns my heart into sweet tarts and glitter.
I mean guys, what are we, are we fucking elementary school students here?
What are we talking about? These are adults.
She does this quite a bit through here. Like every, for every person that she
interview, she has like some little cutesy
Thing the say about them afterwards and I would ever you know, it's it's annoying to me and probably everyone else
But the thing I really didn't like about it was that it was so overproduced like it was
They don't spend any amount of time on any one thing
They they talk to people briefly and then it's on to something else It was, they don't spend any amount of time on any one thing.
They talk to people briefly and then it's on to something else.
It's like, you don't have the attention span to have an interview.
So they just hop all over the house.
Well, none of these people are interesting enough to listen to you for more than, I don't
have a three minute segment that they give them.
So I'll actually give them credit for moving out quickly.
Well, they, I don't know if if you if you clipped anything about this
But she she talks to a musician from Seattle. Oh, yeah, who's missing her legs. Yep, and I guess
Lena Donna was doing a like a book reading or something on stage and I had this this woman open for her
And she gets around by
wheeling herself on a skateboard essentially so she wheels herself on an escape board and
sits behind a piano and apparently and she I mean it literally has a pretty decent voice
and goes through this whole thing so then she talks to she talks to this woman about what it's like to be at and quote from this girl, a Crip,
as she calls herself, she's a Crip,
she lives the Crip life.
Don't kill me, Crips and Bloods.
And then she goes, well here's a song
that she wrote specifically for our podcast and then she plays like a
15-second clip of the song. It's like
All right, Kav, do you do you have that clip? I don't know. I don't but I have I have a clip on here
It's called the song fucking socks, right?
That play track tab
We're gonna play some of your music and there's a beautiful song that you sent me
that you wrote recently and I wondered if you wanted to give it a little intro. And heaven always time is left in the earth.
So Kevin, as I've said on this show before, I do some songwriting myself and that melody is fucking terrible.
It's literally it's That's a verse, that's fucking garbage.
So I think the audience knows you and I used to be in a band together a couple of
bands over the years.
I'm a drummer so that really means I'm not a musician.
I mean, I just pound on shit and try to keep it in time.
You know we're one of the main music writers for the band and understand the stuff a lot
way more than I would ever... Well I'm just saying that melody sucks.
Yeah but I'm just saying like it's to me this sounded okay because I don't really know...
I don't really know.
I don't know all that stuff that you know. So I mean, I'm listening to it with a different ear.
I'll put her in my top five of the Ligeless Musicians.
All right.
Okay.
Rape behind Stumps McGillicuddy, the country artist.
Right.
Good old Stumps.
Good old Stumps man.
He really spoke from the heart I can't reach the serial in
the morning I can't reach my milk in the fridge that's the that's his song the fear put it on the top, shale for? All right, so speaking of this woman who has, who's born and
no lags the musician from Seattle, a couple clips that I want to play from her
segment, Track 7's called the world's dumbest question.
How does your identity within crypt culture intersect with your creative
expression as a musician?
That's ridiculous. And then, um, I don't even have anything to say about that. And then following that up, play Track 8, I call this another really stupid question.
Yes, you live in Seattle, you're surrounded by liberal people, there's so much respect for your music,
but you must also get a lot of
really stupid fucking questions. And I wonder, whether you have to do a lot of
educating on a daily basis and does that get tiring?
So this is my take. This is why I took from that, Kevin.
You're not allowed to talk to her about anything to do with her physical being, because then
you're asking a stupid
fucking question and need to be educated. And it's weird because it's one of
those things where we all have to be, you know, we're all in this together, right?
We should all be understanding of each other's differences. And if you asked me
a question about something with, you know, my hair looks like shit or something,
I wouldn't take offense to it.
But there are certain people that you have like,
questions you can't ask them
because then they get offended if you ask them,
but if you don't talk to them, then they get offended.
It's very weird how they make it a lot more difficult
than it needs to be.
Yeah, this is, you know, obviously a trend
that's come over the last several years
where it's become more and more apparent that it's hard
to talk to somebody about these things.
You could genuinely be curious about what it's like to get around on a skateboard when
you have no way.
When I meet someone for the first time, I ask them questions about themselves. That's how you get to know someone right, right?
But you're not allowed to I would be supposed to ask you about how she writes a shitty melody. How's it go with that?
Melody that's amazing.
No, I mean, I totally understand it. I mean, I guess I would be
offended if the first time I met somebody that were like, well, you were a really like pizza, huh?
You know, like if somebody was, you know, what's okay, but you'd be like, well, you were just really like pizza, huh? You know, like if somebody was,
you know, it's okay, but you'd be like,
oh, dude, do I?
Well, yeah, that's me, you know, I mean.
I mean, they're with the best pizza I've had.
Right.
You're like, wow, man, you got a really big stomach there.
What's it like, you know, trying to tie your shoes?
You know, what's that, what's that like?
And you're like, you said asshole, read my blog
if you want to hear about my shoe tying. Yeah
Who are these calm
It's tough though because as there are more and more
Diversity like all these little things that make people different there are more more rules around what you're all
To say to them and ask them and talk about that. There's a segment out here where there's a Filipino, albino post transition transgender
woman.
And I like holy shit.
I don't even know what that means.
I don't know how to talk about this.
I'm not going to get any section of this part of the show.
It just gets crazy.
Yeah.
And they had another, I think it's called at alopecia where you you can't grow hair
So there's another woman that they have on who
You know, I literally has no hair on her body and
You know, they talked she talks about you know what it was like growing up and you know having to wear a wig to fit in and then
Kind of realizing that she didn't need to wear a wig and she could just be yourself and
I get that that's very, you know, empowering.
Me being a white male saying that it doesn't make a lot of sense, but I mean I'm trying to ride the line when I'm talking here about
I don't want to be a cuck, you know, and be like, oh, women are the best. You know, I just, I understand.
Is that what it cooks?
I'm just, I understand where, you know, people are all different.
We've all been insanely different for years and years.
It's only recently that it's like, you can't, you know, you could just sort of do
what you want to do.
You know, like,
I think the homosexuality thing and like the gay marriage and all that stuff, that's awesome.
And the people are just finally just like, whatever, we're fine with it. Just get married if you
want to get married, you know, like people are cool with it. I actually feel bad for gay people
that they have to get the fucking state involved in their relationship. It's never a good thing.
Right. Yeah. But I mean, if that's what they want to get the fucking state involved in their relationship. It's never a good thing. Right.
Yeah.
But I mean, if that's what they want to do, then fucking fine.
Let them do that. I mean, I obviously very liberal in the places that I've lived and stuff.
Do it.
I think I think you are pretty liberal too.
I don't know your political leanings.
We don't really talk about that kind of stuff, but I say whatever. If you want
to do whatever the hell you want to do as long as it's not directly impacting me in a
negative way, you know, where I'm being hurt or someone I care about is being hurt, then
do whatever the hell you want to do. I mean, it's completely fine. You want to change
genders? That's cool. If you feel better being a man or a woman or whatever
If you don't have hair on your fucking face or eyebrow you have no eyebrows, whatever whatever fucking is your
Taiwanese
Communist
Whatever I don't care. It doesn't I don't know what I'm going with this
I was just gonna give you as much rope as
you want it there.
Where is he going to land us this month?
Just enough to hang myself.
Yeah.
I think all that goes without saying, Kevin, you and I both share the same idea that, you
know, living with live who gives a shit.
I don't care what anybody else does.
I have no issues with it.
My only problem is when they make rules around it that I have to follow, that I haven't care what anybody else does. I have no issues with it. My only problem is when they make rules around it
that I have to follow,
that I haven't been completely caught up to speed on.
I don't know all the rules.
I'm not out there studying the rules.
I have other things to do to my life.
Like listen to shitty podcasts.
This is one of the most important things I have to do.
So, I've heard lately I've heard these the the term cis have you heard this like cis oh my god
They said that multiple times the cis gender. Yeah, I I was this was one of those things that came along that I
Was never on my radar. I'm like, I don't know what that means like I felt like an idiot
Because everyone's using it. So I actually had to look it up
You know to find out what it means like it like an old man
You know like I sort of feel like it's just like oh these kids are using this crazy terms and I I looked it up
And now I understand what it is, but I totally agree with what you said. It's like there's so many
things and so many ways to
To recognize people now that it's hard to keep up with it unless you are in
the culture or in some type of, I don't know, I guess it's hard to put into what I thought
about the word cisgender. And we're just creating all these new words and just creating this
whole vernacular that just makes everything more confusing. And actually, it divides people.
All of this language, just more and more divisions and compartmentalizing everybody into
different groups, which is annoying.
But cisgender is the craziest word because it literally means nothing.
You know, if you're a cisgender male, it means that you're a male.
So you could take that word right out.
Totally unnecessary.
Yeah, it's for maybe it's just gender male. I do not take offense to being just called a male.
Yeah, it's for anybody who may not know what what it is like me prior was
cis means you just identify with your set gender. So if you're born a male,
you identify as being a male or vice versa. If you're born a female, you're a cis,
you're cis. I mean, like Carl said, you're you're just the default setting, I
guess. The defaults, you are what you came out of the box. Right, right. I mean,
you know, and obviously there, there goes goes again I could get critiqued for saying that because people could say well I was born gay and
but and that whatever that's fine I don't keep up on it I'm sorry if I've
offended well all right so you have a fight because gay has nothing to do with
gender oh there you go see and it's so you just fucked up dude you should
even go down that road yeah so this is why this was such a difficult one for me. Kevin at Who are these sad guys? Yes, please school me on the ways of other things that I don't understand because I am we have a we have a huge transgender And I'm hearing the unsubscribe button get clicked across the nation
Yeah, all right getting back to let's get back to the fun stuff cab is all right
All right, I have a track on here that I call my new pickup line. I did learn something play track nine
I don't really care that you have no legs. I totally want to finger-fuck you in the bathroom right now
I've never said that to a girl, but I'm going to.
Well, the opportunity arises.
You'll definitely. Exactly.
Yes.
All right.
They they talked to you.
I think it's the second segment after 80 Bryant.
They talked to this African American woman who has a big afro.
And I have a couple of clips from this play track for this is her
talking about her afro and oh wait let me just set this up real quick I hate
the way this woman talks so you're gonna hear I put a little ding in there
every time she says the word like I ring a bell yeah just to add a little bit
to that we we were recommended this podcast by a listener named Emily who also has a couple of shows that
I don't know, maybe we should plug, but anyway, she recommended it and she said that here's the drinking game for this every time you heard
Like you should drink. Oh, yeah, so just
Put that on. I'm gonna Emily, get your cocktail ready.
Here we go.
When I have my offer out, everybody
has something to say.
Like, everything from like, I'm going
to make like a smite remark about like, Angela Davis,
or like, I'm going to, you know, like, those kinds of remarks.
Or like, how did you get it that way?
I'm like, black.
It's like, it's all I watched it.
So that was that was nine likes in 12 seconds.
Now I'd give it as two though. I said like a lot. Not as bad as this woman. Okay.
But listen to this next track. She actually beats her record. Play track five.
I walked past a group of maybe like 10 black women with like natural hair and
braids and like afro's and like just like beautiful hair and I walked past and I was literally like my
eyes like lit up. I was so excited. I walked past and I was like oh my god you guys are beautiful
like something. Jesus that was the most tedious to try to pick all those out.
I can't help but hear it.
And when I listen to these shows, it bugs the shit out of me.
Every time you and I use the word like and I listen back and bugs
the shit out of me.
But this is just excessive.
The other thing that I picked up on is she says, my eyes literally lit up.
Oh, we have a literally lit up.
Is that what happened? People are so fucking stupid.
They don't understand what the word they use literally in the exact opposite form. Right.
I was on a conference call with a client yesterday and you was talking about the growth of his
company. He goes, we're going to grow three or four times this year. We're literally out of rocket ship I just fucking lost it
You done bastard I wasn't talking to you on busk you're not literally out of rocket
rocket ship
I did a brief stint in toast masters I don't know if you know what
What toast masters is but it's like
I hear I go with the likes.
It's, I'm gonna try not to share it.
No, you can't hear me.
Listen to yourself.
It's a organization.
It's an organization that allows you to practice
your public speaking.
So you do different speeches out of this kind of catalog and people in the audience,
your peers basically will judge you and there's all these different things criteria that you have
to meet. Oh, Kevin, that wasn't that wasn't toast masters. That was a comedy club. Well, no wonder
you bombed. Yeah, this was I was doing this while I was still doing stand-up. So it was just kind of like a supplement
to that. But one of the things that they have, one of the roles that you have is one of the peers
watching a toast master session is you count ums. The times that people say the word um, and you literally ring a bell every time
just like you just did with the ums.
So I'm familiar with this and you wouldn't, you'd be surprised how many times people say
um, and I'm talking professional speakers, people you see on TV, things like that, where they will say, um,
just it's just a verbal crutch and I think that that's what like is in a way too. Well, it's probably for me.
Definitely. Yeah, so it's definitely a verbal. It's the same as saying, you know,
I do it a lot with so I hate when I do that. Yeah, I started to sense what the word so it's annoying.
A lot of people do that. You know what I'm saying?
They do that. You know what I'm saying?
I'm saying. Or our buddy Leon is always saying, what you mean?
Yeah. What?
You mean your buddy Leon that lives in your brain?
Count down. What you mean by that?
All right, you say it a lot. That's all.
Don't get
upset. Well, you could really, you could turn into Leanne really quick. What do you
want to? No, no, he's actually, I have, he has his own mic. He's in the sound booth behind
me. Oh, wow. All right. Well, he sounds like he's talking right on your mic. That's pretty
impressive. He's, well, I have a nice setup over here. He stays pretty quiet for the most part.
Which is what we like about you, Leon.
I don't ever change.
Oh, boy.
All right, let's get back to the fun.
Okay.
Get back to the walka walka.
Track six is something I call Lena Dunham trying to sound cool.
Here's a good, different from douche chills.
She's coming at us from Seattle and I actually first met
Mindy when I was on my book tour for not that kind of girl
and we had people submit videos as opening talent and Mindy
submitted a video of herself singing and it fucking rocked
my world.
Lena Dunham has a towel. She uses the word fucking right before she's going to say something that's douchey.
I've noticed this multiple times throughout the show and she sent me a thing that's fucking fucked my world.
I don't know.
I've never used rock to my world in a sentence.
By that ear thing.
Yeah, no, I hear what you're saying. She definitely has a, I don't know if it's a nervous thing,
if she doesn't know what to say, and then she says that to kind of, to help it along or something,
I don't know. Speaking of irritating sentences,
play, track 12, I call, I'm not sure why, but this is one of the most irritating sentences ever.
One of the biggest lessons that my very close friend and mentor, Renegasit, has taught me
is that just that friendship in and of itself, just that love is radical.
Yeah.
All right, good.
I got the right reaction out of you.
I thought you were going to be like gonna be like no girl friendship is radical
It's it's like how a bong dude. Yeah
Does she mean radical and like like the sense that you're saying it like totally rad man
Or does she mean like radical like crazy like out of sorts like radical?
She can't it doesn't make sense in that kind of expression.
It's not a radical idea in that sense.
So I don't know what the fuck she's talking about.
I said, that doesn't so irritating.
Friendship is tubular.
Friendship is the bees fucking knees.
You know what I'm saying?
You said it, you know what I'm saying, see?
I did, I was doing a bit also
Bees knees that's another one people use a lot bees knees man bees knees cool
Imagine that that was your crutch
These are ordering on a fast food. Uh, I'd like, um, um,
Caspajamas of double cheeseburger and Kispa Chamas. Uh, it's not,
it's not like a super trooper's bit.
You guys think that's five times already this guy's like,
me. I'm y'all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right. I have a track on here that's called terrible question gets terrible answer.
Play track 13.
Okay. So here's the moment I ask Meredith, are you your hair?
I am and I am not my hair.
That's the kind of enlightening conversation you get from this fucking women of the hour podcast.
Terrible. Okay. I have a track on here. I call it Lena Dunham making zero points. She says a lot of words,
but I'm not sure she makes a single point. Play track 14.
You can wear whatever you want because the illness lies with the people who are
sexualizing you and the people who are who are going to act as though that is
like a doorway to abuse you.
The illness isn't like with you and your body and your desire to whatever show a
strip of stomach or whatever it is that fucking 13 year old girls want it 100%.
Yeah, I remember this part and I don't know what she was going for there.
So she's talking to the chick who was in the blurred lines video and I shouldn't have
to say anything more than that.
Yeah, the topples.
Right?
Right.
I think everybody has a picture in their head now of what I'm talking about.
So she goes from 80 Bryant to one of the hottest models ever.
And again, it's this blowhardy, everything is the right answer conversation.
So 80 Bryant is great because he just want to be a fat bitch and then you got this chick
who's smoking hot and she's like, yeah, it's okay that you're 14 and you're dressed
up in a bikini and topless.
And so cool, what is okay?
I don't know.
Everything's okay.
All right.
Well, then what are we even talking about?
It's only okay to them.
It's not okay to us.
All right.
We're men.
It's not okay to us.
Right.
Right.
Everything we do is wrong.
And yet everything they do, regardless of what side of the
spectrum is exactly the right thing to do.
It's amazing.
The other thing that I hate
about Lena Dunham and I didn't hate this until listening to this podcast, her fucking vocal fry.
Did you pick up on this? I didn't and this was one of those things I've never heard of until you
brought up. I think I'm one of our podcasts, one of the earlier episodes that we did. I had never heard this term before. And now I'm a little more aware of it when I hear women talk and stuff, but let's hear,
I guess I didn't pick it. All right. Track, track 15. This is one of the worst examples of
vocal fry I've ever heard. Illegal. And so at this point, people are wanting to say like, no,
this is a clean industry. This isn't a place where women are being
This is a clean industry
Um, should we explain what it is to the audience? It may not know what vocal phrase sure
I'll do my best it. It's basically when
Is it always women right? It's a woman thing, right?
Female thing. It's a woman thing. I mean, I think guys can do it too, but it's mostly young women.
Okay, young women, they kind of do this raspy part, like when they're saying a sentence, they'll do this
raspy kind of thing. their voice will go into that tone
We're in there trying to to
compensate for
Be in smart or making it sound smart or something that sound right? Yeah, it's a it's a generational thing
Women actually think they sound smarter when they go like this and they start talking with their vocal fry. Yeah, I may popular by cardations, right? That was really the I guess the
the big thing like when you watch, keep it up with the cardations. I hope to
God you don't, but if you do, I think all of them do that. They all talk like
that when they're talking about, you know, they'll start talking about their business or something and say, oh, and then I
Know they get into that that thing and I
Kanye's penis is so
I watch the show I know
So yeah, I didn't really pay attention to it.
I guess I'm sort of, I don't know, immune to it now because you just hear it so much.
But yeah, I'm still annoyed by it.
I have another track on here, Ken.
We're just going to get into the speed around here, get through my tracks and move on.
I'm alive.
Okay. to get into the speed around here, get through my tracks and move on. If I was okay. Um, um, track 16, I call it the world's most convoluted question.
And this is typical Lena Dunham style.
As you're starting to act more, like, what are you looking for in roles?
And how are you thinking about your job as a female actor and vis-a-vis your politics
and vis-a-vis all of these really strong important beliefs you have. Yes. Wow. So that's that question
sucks. Well, I'll I can hear now is vocal fry from that. That's it. But that question so again
they're talking to the model from the board lines video.
Yep. And she's getting into acting. Yep. So we need to done them's question is, what roles are
you going to take based on, you know, your politics and this and that and the other thing? I don't
know if you know anything about acting, Kevin. You take any fucking role that you're handed. That's how that works. If it's to our bees commercial,
then you love shitty roast beef. You know, it's just whatever. Whoever's paying the bills,
that's what I'm doing.
Yeah, it's a dumb question to ask a beautiful model. You know, like, what were all of you
going to take? Yeah, yeah. I think I'm going to take the bikini girl
in the background of the Baywatch 2 movie.
Exactly.
I'm going to be the chick that the main character cheats
on his wife with.
That's the role that she gets.
Right.
I mean, it's unfortunate, but that's kind of,
you know, what you're going to start out with. I think all that poor beautiful super bottle
Who I think her name is Emily
Rack Kowski or something like that. So I would just keep referring to her as girl from
Girl from blind whatever to fuck video. What was that? What's it called? Blurred lines. That's it
Well, you know when she gets called in to to read for a part or audition
There's no way they call her by her name. It's like oh, it's the bloodlines check. All right. Yeah, I have
It's it's tits with a face on top.
Hey, Tidy big face. Get in here.
What's the read for this?
Kevin D. The one woman, the one I talked about who was the black transgender woman,
she talked about black Twitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's me here in that comment.
I immediately went to Google.
I'm like, what is black Twitter?
I didn't know that this thing existed.
I see, because I use Reddit and Imager a lot,
I'm always kind of browsing through those.
And you'll see people take images from what they say
as black Twitter.
Now, I've never looked it up.
Is it an actual thing?
I have never heard of it before.
I did a little research.
It doesn't seem to be its own thing.
It's just part of Twitter.
I don't know if it's a hashtag or how that works,
but it's some type of sub-community on Twitter.
I did just type in blacktwitter.com
and there's a thing that says,
coming soon, we are still working on it
Oh really? That's actually our wow, okay. Well someone bought the URL who knows right right
Yeah, I've seen it's like exactly what it sounds like it's uh
Well, it's it's African-American people making funny jokes um short video. Whoa, whoa, whoa, all not gathered.
It's not just African Americans.
Oh, no.
Okay.
You fucked up again.
Yes.
Okay.
I actually, I worked at this company and there was a woman from Central America who worked
for me and I remember having a meeting with the HR director
and she goes, well, we have to be careful
and delicate with this issue
because she is African-American.
I was like, no, she's not, she's black.
She's not African-American.
Like how offensive is that?
You just assumed that everybody has African descent
because they have dark skin.
Yeah, yeah, no.
I mean, all right, maybe I'm wrong on who's going to be
losing black glitter. But every post I see of it is like
they're clearly, you know, African Americans doing
something in a scene like it, whatever it is.
When you say African Americans, you're talking about Dave
Matthews?
Yeah, yes, the most black person that I know.
Yeah, Dave Matthews.
Well, he is an African American.
Oh, yeah, I guess he is.
It's an East from South Africa.
He's from South Africa, yeah.
Yeah.
So is Charlize Theron.
Yes, two of my favorite African Americans.
Yeah, she's an African American. And so is that weird dude with the speaking of no legs, stumps
McGillicuddy, the guy that shot his wife. Oh, right. Yeah.
Lave Runner guy. Yeah. I always get him confused. What is his name? It's
I get him.
Pistorius. There's something like that, right? Is it the story?
Something like that. I think yeah.
All right, let's
fuck.
I have a track out here.
There's the last woman they talked to
as a gynecologist.
And this is really off-putting.
I have a track I hear it's called How to lose a guy in seven seconds.
This is this woman talking about her vagina
Everything has happened down there. So I've had an abortion. I've had climpedia. I've had like all these things and
The only two things that she can think of about her vagina is she had an abortion and she had climpedia
Like the worst things
Okay Well, and now I'm soft, so I will do.
I'll be saying a do you. Oh boy.
You.
Yeah, so in summary, I think we're winding down here,
but this was a, this was a tough one,
unless you're in your social justice warrior
will you like this show I mean male or female I think you'd be okay with this show if you're
into like the you know the current kind of climate of diversity that's out there and it's not
that I'm not into it I just I don't care to listen to it in August. You need to celebrate diversity.
That's your problem, dude.
I need to go to the museum of tolerance.
Hey, look at it.
It's a Mexican guy taking a nap.
I'm just cleaning the floors.
All right, South Park reference.
Yeah. There is an ISO that I took cleaning the floors. All right, South Park reference people.
There is an ISO that I took from this show. I've already played this clip
But I promise to use this for future podcast play my ISO
fucking rocked my world
fucking
My world
I think, bro. Oh, my God.
She sucks.
I think I'm right, bro.
Maybe that's what the sleep with me guys do.
It's just vocal fry.
That's what it's all doing.
And then I rocked your world and the space nuns shot their squirt guns filled with a magma
at, and then they tweeted on black Twitter
about the albino post-transitional gender transist woman.
I think we could do that show.
Yeah, well, we totally could do that show.
We're definitely putting people to sleep.
Yeah.
We're only halfway there, right?
All right, well, I don't have anything else that I want to play from the show, but thank you
to Emily, our listener for suggesting it.
And we ask all of our listeners, if you stumble across the terrible podcasts or just one that you want to hear our take on,
please do go to our website, go to our Facebook page. You just a note, it makes our lives a lot easier
when we have other people telling us what to listen to. And I
won't make Kevin listen to shows like that damn drunk. We're
fucking thing we ever heard.
That brought out the rage in me that fucking. So we're still
recovering from that show. Oh my God, it was so brutal.
Yeah, just to mention the listener who sent this inner name is Emily.
I'm gonna probably butcher her name because I don't I've never heard it
pronounced before. Oh, then then we're good. Just say Emily.
Okay, well it's Emily. Emily Peck Pro Cop, I believe her name is but she does two different classy podcast and the story behind podcast and I believe I might be
might
Have a quick feature in the story behind. I know she's doing
Yeah, she's doing an episode on I believe on Lego and I might be
We leave on Lego and I might be just a blurb, a smattering of Kevin in that podcast. So check it out.
The story behind.com is the URL there.
You can find that that podcast and she's on Twitter too.
Obviously that's how she contacted us. Is she on black Twitter? She is a white woman so I don't think so
but you know I could be wrong so there you go. There's the comments. If you
weren't coming to butcher your last name, please send us yours. And they have gotten the right. I don't know.
What did you call her pro-cock or something like that?
Not pro-cock. No, it was Emily Peck pro-cop, P-R-O-K-O-P.
So she's four cock. She's pro-cock.
You hear what you want to hear.
I don't have the bus. I You hear what you want to hear.
I don't have the bus. I'm not going to lie to you.
I think she was a fan of the show.
I probably not so much anymore.
I'm glad.
Wow.
Well, we keep losing.
I'm Kevin.
We keep losing.
We're doing the show for our mothers.
Been sick.
I'm having a show.
I'm sure she does.
So, all right, here's the good news. Even though we're losing listeners,
and nobody wants to hear our take on Lena Dunham, we're going to do this again next week,
and Kevin, we have a whole new podcast to listen to and review. I pulled a very short clip from
that podcast to give our listeners a little tease. Here's what we'll be listening to next week.
to give our listeners a little tease. Here's what we'll be listening to next week.
But we're gonna talk about first times,
because we're always optimists here at the del show.
Last episode, first times.
Yeah.
We have a really good guest that I'm really excited about.
His name is Lamor and Morris,
and he's an actor and comedian.
You may know him as Winston Bishop on Isaac's favorite show New Girl and he's also in Barbershop
the next cut which comes out this week and he's gonna tell a story about a first
time of his. Okay first time this is called the tell show and
This is another Buzzfeed podcast. So the Lena Dunham thing was Buzzfeed I was like this is terrible. What else is this awful network put together and we have the tell show
And you could tell with the music bed behind it. It's overly produced. It's more garbage like that
I was hoping you were gonna say say the A-Tel show,
like the Dave A-Tel show, I wish.
But okay.
Now there's no fun to be had for you and me.
I wish there's going to enjoy this, but we do not.
All right.
So this is an episode from April 14th of 2016.
It's episode number 10.
The hosts of this show are Isaac Fitzgerald and Summer Ann Burton.
This Isaac Fitzgerald guy,
I don't know if you picked up on this from that little clip,
but he's just laughing at shit
that isn't funny really loudly and awkwardly.
Yeah, I definitely noticed that.
He's from your favorite show.
Ha ha ha ha.
That's where you favorite show. Just as my favorite show. So this show is probably gonna suck
pretty bad, but here's some really good news for you Kevin. It's less it's less than 30
minutes long. Fuck you. Well, it was the last time we listened to a show that was less than 30
minutes long. It's been forever.
These fucking podcasts, they go on and on and on.
Kind of like this podcast right now.
They go on and on. It's enough already.
I'm just hoping in that 30 minutes, there's like six blue apron commercials.
So it makes the podcast only like 15 minutes.
But anyway, I hope it's that blue apricot commercial from the the
scary podcast where the axe of herter has gone he really enjoyed that blue
apron I love that we make reference to so many past episodes and people are like
what the fuck are they talking about like anyone's gonna go through like our entire catalog and listen to back episodes
They fucking better. What else do they have to do go back and listen to our past episodes. We're actually getting worse if you enjoy today's show go back 20 episodes.
They're way more or back than we should say.
I could only do cover commanders so many times before it just gets annoying.
Well, oh yeah, how many times is that, Kevin? What's the actual number?
It's one spurshow.
Yeah.
Well, Leon enjoys it.
Does he? What does he think of it?
He's being quiet again.
You got you got you got answer questions directly. Are you gonna say anything?
Fuck guys asleep with the wheel
Sounds like he's drinking
He's asleep with the wheel man. All right, fuck. Okay. Well listen. This has been a lot of fun
But please join us again next week because it might be the episode where we find out once and for all.
