We've got a great show for you tonight. It's part two of our big gay pride spectacular. But first let's get into it. What a week of gay news. Ding Drag quQueen Patagonia is going toe to toe with outdoor clothing brand Patagonia after the company sued her for copyright infringement over her stage name will win this case bitch, said her lawyer, Spena Colada. You may wonder, how does Patigonia afford the legal fees? Our lawyer is doing it, pro boner The goal is, of course, to get a hung jury Conservativors lost it this month when Hello Fresh once again posted a collection of fiber rich, bottom friendly recipes for pride I I always knew Fiber was gay. said a conservative influencer on the toilet for either the fifth time today or the first time in two weeks thing about fiber. you know. In an interview without Magazine, Jennifer Lopez told the LGBTQ community everything I do as I'm doing it, I'm thinking about you. And Jayo, on behalf of the LGBTQ community, tell us the name of your plastic surgeon or I will tell a reporter that you called me a fagot And they'll believe me because it is a crazy thing to make up But after Idaho lawmakers banned pride flags on city and county property, the City of Boise has outsmarted them by installing rainbow ramping on the flagpoles themselves Flag pulse More like f pololes. Speaking of pulling things up, Rosie O'Donnell got a deep plain face lift. She looks awesome Look at that That's great, goodood for Rosie. The lesbian icon told repors at the Ton's that she was mobbed at the airport for the first time in fifteen years, all crining to get a look at her new face. said one disappointed photographer, It was just the normal number of eyes, mouth in the usual place. Speaking of the Tonies, Kats, the Jellicical Ball won three awards this year, including Best Costume design in a musical by trans designer Queen Jean. Yes Queen Jean looked at cats and said, What if this time they're not cats? What if they're a bunch of gay guys? And for that we honor her. And honestly, it's better. It's kind of crazy that they're cats at all. It's the weirdest and worst part of the musical. They're already going to dances and singing about the memories of their lives. That's what people do. Do cats even have memories? I've never met a cat for a second time and felt like we were picking up where we left off And most of the songs and cats are just the cats introducing themselves. Mr. Mistopheles is just a magician. He could be a person. The musicals should just be called people and have them be people getting ready for a big party Note to sef, a musicical about people. Nobody steals this Speaking of musicals about people, Luke Evans busted out the bustier in his Tony's performance of sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture showhow Yeah Chin speaker of the House Mike Johnson' Christian fitbit that tells him to take a cold shower While on Andy Cohen Live, Madonna said JFK Jr. was the best sex she ever had, but clarified when it comes to talking about lovers, I'm only going to name dead people. Kind of weird. I've always preferred having sex with living people During the San Francisco Giants Pride Night, two pitchers wrote a Bible verse on their rainbow Pride caps. Nice try boys. you still look fabulous. The MLB issued a warning to the players, which JD Vance retweeted on Tuesday with the caption Trump won. We don't have to do this anymore. Tough talk for a guy who spends every day on his knees That wasn't the only protest against prride this year. The governors of Indiana and Tennessee are counter programming Pride declaring June to be nuclear Family month. The only difference between the Pride Parade and the nuclear Family Parade is that the gay guys at the Pride Parade are a little less horname In Arkansas, the governor declared it Fidelity Month. In her proclamation, she quoted George Washington who said, quote, virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government The governor advocating for virtual morality is Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was the former spokesperson to President Donald Trump But hey, she cares deeply about building a virtuous society unlike the godless cumgzling heathens in California, New York So let's compare, okay? Which society is doing a better job of upholding conservative family values that she claims to care so much about Oh that's weird. Arkansas has the highest divorce rate in the country. and that's after Bill and Hillary Clinton rolled up their sleeves and made it work But may maybe that's unfair. Maybe it's just because people in Arkansas get married more often because there's not much to do during the eight months of the year when the water parks are closed. But Arkansas also has one of the highest rates of infant mortality, along with Alabama, which declared June to be strong Families Month, with twice the infant mortality rate as here in California. On the other hand, some of those infants would have ended up gay, and it's hard to tell which ones as all babies have pretty limp wrists. Too dark, Well buckle up. Arkansas, all right, where Arkansas where instead of celebrating pride, they're celebrating traditional values, also has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country behind only Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama, almost four times as high as the rate here in Woke Trans, California Now my writers begging me to cut all of this screaming, This is the Pride show and people are trying to have fun. and I am having fun. and you're all having fun. This is fun. You know who's not having fun? all those mothers who aren't alive. Yeah, that's okay. That's the good feeling. That's right. Because if people like Sarah Huckabee Sanders want to know what's actually hurting family, she shouldn't be looking at pride parades She should be looking in the mirror Now I know this is heavy, but guess what? Pride is silly because it's serious. Because for every person speaking up, there's someone out there who can't or is working up the courage to try, like National rugby League star Kanaine Williams who just came out as gay, becoming the first men's professional rugby League player to do so since nineteen ninety five carry that around my whole life. But I'm here today to to sort to show people that You know, you don't have to live like that. Even now I feel a bit more free just by saying it out loud. I've brought it to the light and I feel like a weight have sort of lifted off my shoulders The Ellen of Rugby, they're calling him, and boy does he hate it That's what Pide is all about, and we won't stop until every hot rugby player stops lying to themselves and admits that they arere gay. All right, and we've got a great gay show for you tonight. We'll be right back. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of Love it or Leave it coming up. This episode is sponsored Bet Help.

It's the hilarious Ashley Ray and Brenndons Canell No ye, How do you both He Hi, John. I haven't seen you both in so long. Oh we talking about how we weren't invited to your wedding.edding My cousins every time I'm on the show are like, tellell John High and I'm like, we're not that close. I was that close. didn't get the wedding invite you. No, what? The pictures were gorgeous. They were beautiful. What do you mean? Wait, what you guys weren't there? What? I know What. But I did you a gift. We got you a gift We got did. Oh, let's see, Ohh my gosh. I know It's a hat abyss. It's merched to my solo show, if you can believe. Wow. That I also support it and there isow candle in there. There is I'm still looking for the candle. No candle. I thought there might be a lilabo candle, but it is just an unrelated hat. Well, I keep bags, you know, the bag Bags you bags Hey, how's your pride going so far I didn't go to either of the parades. Yeah. I'll tell you something. I got fully, this is real I got dressed to go Like literally, we like planned around it. put on my little tank top and my little shorts. and I swear to God and I had a little edible And I looked at RE and I said This is pride Pride can be whatever we want I want to play video games for four hours. Yes. Yeah. And I know that I should want to go to the Pride parade, but and I want to want to go Right now at this moment, that's not what it means to be gay for me. And if pride is about anything else, it has to be about that. What game are you playing? I'm playing the Tallows Principle two. It is a game that mixes my love of puzzles with too long dialogue about the nature of consciousness. And it's like, hey, that's an interesting thing I wish this was more puzzles, less of the ch chat, but I'm still loving the game. I'm having a great time. It does sound gay. It is pretty gay, It is pretty gay. They're all kind of robots. My boyfriend and I, we played a c working game together where we had to farm. I can't remember what it's called, but we had a farm. Does anyone know, you guys seem nerdy. And you had a farm and we each had to take care of parts of the farm But then my boyfriend would just go off and fish and I got stuck taking care of the farm. So he'd go fish and I'd be like And so we had to start playing the game. Yeah. That's An crossing No. No It was in Stardew Valley. It was called Stardew Valley and I ended up doing all the chores And and is everything good in real life? Yeah With the couple? Yeah, o yeah, all work great. That's just our dynamic. Actually, there's something I love about you, It's that you're going to post through it. Yeah. And you're doing a lot of posting these days about Being polyamorous. Oh yeah. and bisexual. Oh yeah.. I have to warn people. And now if you put those things together orny. Yeah, basically. As my mom said, when I came out and told her, I'm by Polly, she said, Oh, so you're a slut. And that was wrong for her to say. It was right for her to say. It was it kind of felt like the end of the Barbie movie where I was like, she gets me. She finally sees me. Wow. How's that going? I mean, pretty good, I guess. It's a weird time to be Polly, We're kind of getting mainstream in some good and bad ways. You know, we have a new TV show called This is Polly, which is interesting and very weird to watch there's all these new covers that are like polyamory, it's gonna save your boring marriage. So it's not, it's not also. Let me just tell you, like don't do it. Yeah, so don't do it. Don't do it. Polyamory, don't do it. Don't It hereere's the thing that it just seems so stressful because there's only so many hours in a day and I feel like it's a nice to have a balance between say a personal life and say a career. And I think both are very valuable things to do and people can do with their time what they will. I do not have the space in my brain for a career plus relationship one plus relationship number two I get people that cheat and I get people that have open relationships, you know, you have a relationship and then you want to fuck somebody else because you're horny. I get the mentally, I understand how that works. You can follow from point A to point B, but it's like u I get the sex plus the relationship. I wish I could do this twice as much. Yeah, ye No, it really is opting into having multiple conversations that are like, yeah, I don't know if we should go over Like with Verizon FiOoser spepectrum. Yeah Which don Which one works in your neighborhood? Like it's just so much relationship talk that's boring U But you know, that's that's what we love about it Is it? Yeah. I love polyamorous so that I can have more help on the farm. I feel like my partner and I Exactly. more hands on deck than he could go fish and it wouldn't be such a big deal for me. Yeah, I mean, that is the logic of Sisterwives. You buckle up, Brena, you've invented Sisterwives. Can I say it was a little difficult. We had the fires here in LA You know, poolyamory out here, usually we're all very there's no hierarchy. We're all equal in this polycule. like no one is more important. And when the fires are coming It turns out there's a hierarchy. It turns out some people are like higher on the pickup list than other people. Yeah, heres this and I'm glad you're bringing this up. It does seem like a fair weather ideology to me. because because it's like it's like no, I have a boyfriend in this part of town, but then I have a boyfriend over here and this boyfriend's more for this, and that boyfriend's more for that. It's like, okay, but who's gonna hold your hand when you're dying Becauseuse you're not gonna to get two, and if you play your cards wrong, you're gonna have zero. You know what I'm saying? It's like You want two people to hold your hand when you die. That's too many And sos watching the smoke rise alone in Silver Lake. Oh wow, you were left behind. I was left behind. Wow. Wow, no chair for Ashley when the m sted. And that is polyamorory. I do consider the polyamorous to be allies, which is why we're going to play a game about Allies in a segment we call friends of friends of Dorothy Here's how it works. I'm going to give you two vocal LGBTQ allies and you'll tell us who you think is the better all. Goty They will then square off against the next ally until There is one ally to rule them all. Okay. All right, first up, Guy Fieri A vocal straight ally, the mayor of Flavvertown once officiated one hundred one gay weddings in twenty fifteen, an homage to his late lesbian sister Oh, see. Maybe there's some of that. there's there's some beautiful sentiment there I't knowav once like Queen Latifa or like these style Or like the Moonies. Remember the Moonies would do those big weddings in the st? used that before anyone before I'm so old now.. You remember the Moonies wedding? ye Yeah. I was born in two thousand seven. so Wow. You're so young. You're so young A You should have seen it's too bad you don't remember what it was like when Obama won it was cool. Yeah. We really thought things were going to change. All right, Vus, we really did. Vversus Hillary Duff Star in this famous two thousand eight anti homophobia PSA. You know, you really shouldn't say that. Let what? Well'll say that something's gay when you mean it's bad It's insulting I was a little gay, if I'm being honest. Yeah. Yeah. It was ye. It was. But the like wonderful line right afterward, she's like, what if I said it was girl wearing a skirt as a top? girl wearing a skirt. I have to go with Hillary here. That is an iconic commercial. a beautiful commercial. Yeah part of our history, frankly I gotta go with Gy Thieri because I know another fact about Guy is that when the COVID shutdown happened, he gave so much money to restaurant workers who were out of work and every restaurant worker is a gay person. I'm going to cut I'm going to break the tie for guy Fieri because during the pandemic I ordered his nachos that come in a big arl and I made them dever it What you could get it frozen and construct them. And you put them of like brought in from the Burbank airport. Yes it was from the Burbank airport. They were shipped the Burb. That's why it's so easy to get. And basically you build them inside of this can and then there's a moment of reveal where you lift the can up and then Nacho's kind of tower and collapse and it was It kind of a beautiful of ceremon in the midst of dark time. Guy Fairy wins. Flair. Flare toown. Yeah. Next up It's now it's Gy Ver us Johnny Knoxvill. Oh He rode on a jackass float in the Weho Pry Parade this month. I love that he's gone gray. Yeah, and he's so hot. I remember in the last Jackass movie, the first half of it, he has his hair died. And then there was a COVID shutdown. really on the mind right now. And then they finished the movie and he had gray hair. Yeah. And then I gasped in I saw it in theaters, where it was meant to be seen. meant to be seen. He's at his hottest now. He's embracing just gay fanbase he's always had. I think we've all always enjoyed that Jackass is a big gay. And he's embraced that. John Wats recently came out and said that Johnny Knoxville is his favorite straight man. And if you get that from John Watterers Wow, Wow. I want one sort of caution Jackass was previously banned from WeHO for a decade because Knoxville dressed up as an escaped convict running amuck in the restaurant laaurel hardware, only to be actually arrested by the cops I feel like that's cool. That's cool. Why are you getting banned for that? Ooral hardware, you're not allowed to wear shorts. That's anti gay Yeah Johnynoxill John Jn Johnxv, Johny,' Johnxvill versus Daniel Radcliffe He's publicly spoken out on behalf of trans people in an ongoing way, famously publishing a twenty open letter that declared trans women as women when JK Rowling was repeated was ramping up her public transphobia. In twenty twenty two, Radcliffe said the reason I felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did is because, particularly since finishing Potter, I've met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that. And so seeing them heurt on that day, I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt the same way That's nice. I thought that he was a gay man. So he's just short. And he does theater. He's just short and does theater.'s just short does theater. So I mean, he's such an ally I thought he was gay. That's saying a lot. That's pretty cool actually. Yeah. Wow There was too much Harry Potter mentioned in that description. completely disassociated. So I gotta go Johny Johny takes it. We love Daniel Radcliffe. Huge fan of Daniel Radcliffe But it's not his today. It goes to Johnny Knoxville and then we have Johnny Knxle versus Dwnee Wade, Day Wade is an outspoken supporter of his daughter, Zia Wade, along with his wife and Zia's step momom, Gabrielle Union. In twenty twenty four, Dwannee Zya launched the translatable project, an online nonprofit for trans teens and their families Well Hi Yeah, I gotta go with Dwayne here. His support of his daughter has been amazing and his wife follows me on Twitter and threads So they just really got it together over there in that household I I went to a very fancy Vanity Fair party once as a plus one. he was there and I basically like teaered up saying how much I like I because he did something Like it's one thing to be like There's not of a lot of people, especially in Hollywood that advocate for gay people. I'm really glad they do. It's important. There's often a lot more claims tilting at bravery that's not really a lot of risk, but like he genuinely put himself out there. And I think that that's really important and special. And so I feel like I feel like' it's Dwayne Wayade. And then it's Duane Wade versus Elizabeth Taylor Oh. One of One of the first celebrity Aids activists Elizabeth Taylor was spurt to action by the death of her friend and former co star Rock Hudson, she co founded AMFAR, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Famously while accepting the two thousand Glad Vanguard Award said, There is no gay agenda. It's a human agenda Wow, that's a really, that's a tough competition. That's that's really interesting. I gotta go with Liz and I tell you why. I once had a hairdresser on a TV show who said, you know, Liz Taylor? And I go, ye, and he goes, I have all of her wigs And I say how? And he said Warner Brrosers was gonna to get rid of them. And me and my friends went in the night and took all the wigs, which is like an Ocean's eleven type movie that I'm looking for And I would watch. And so because of that and because of the wigs that that man has in Burbank U it's gotta be Liz for me. I gotta go Liz too. I mean like that's just a gay icon. L I'm pretty sure one of the like stripes on the flag is dedicated to her probably The bear cllaw Elizabeth Taylor has won The Ally award As number one ally in our game today, we'll be right back.

You know, you perform your show every day, right for like thirty days straight It's kind of pricey to be there. That's why a lot of people end up grooming together, right? And But then and then you get reviewed. T by you know, like six British men Wh, you know, who who say sometimes mean things likeike, you know As a thirty, something year old Woman, Natska, Okatsuka claims she can't do laundry. Well, I'll see about that. L stuff like that. Stuff like that. I sort of believe you can't do laundry. Yeah, no, And I couldn't. Who are they to tell me like who I am or what I can't do or what I can do. Who are you to tell me what I can do?. How dare you?

What is that like? It was really fun. They told us they didn't want us to hate each other and be mean to each other. It was really about uplifting the art of stand upp comedy and the skill behind it. So everyone was just supportive. It was all really friends. and I think that did sort of make for uninteresting like competition. Like they would have us try to shoot these talking head segments where they'd be like talkal shit about the other people. likes who's gonna be a rival? And I was just like, everyone here's my friend. and you did a really good job picking people. like wow. Soow Jeff Probes comes in and just throws a knife down and he's like something Yeah. because it really just did feel like comedian suummer camp where we were all friends. Kevin was very nice and short. and yeah And I will say he does not like when you mention the short stuff. He might act like he's cool it but don't think he's really cool with it Did you And that's an interesting choice for you. So so how quickly into meeting, Kevin H Heart, did you start Almost immediately?. As little guy. Al like as soon as they because they wanted us to have fresh reactions to him and Tom Sagura being our judges and coming out. So they like had them they held them in the back and like had them come out And they were just like, just react. And everyone's like, oh my gosh. And I was like, o, wow, he really is as short as they say. Got an amazing laugh. R Hilled. And then Kevin was like, yeah, yeah, that was funny, but let's do a take without that And that is the take that is in the episode. I get that. There's so much I have been on this show a couple times. I'm always making fun of you and it never ends up in that. I mean, we try to keep in as little of you as we can. No, I like to be insulted on this show. It is my kink. I've never really had a problem being short I think part of my personality you would expect me to Be be someone self conscious about that, but actually it's about every other thing. You know? So that's it. sureure, it's fine. I kind of use it to like get people to help me. You know, I'll just like enter a store and be like, where is everything? And they think I'm a little kid. Bret, you were saying you pretended to be a fifth grader for some sort of con artist thing for like several years. You gotta cut this. No Nothing It related to children on this show Now Oso. Speaking of anywthy. I don't know size. Speaking of size in your who' special father, You talk about being close to your husband and how being best friends as a married couple is very childlike. What do you mean Oh yeah. I'm always like you know, I think it's harder to be single. I think it's you have to do, you know, as a single person, you have to you know, do paperwork on your own and be on time and I do laundry and you know, it's one of the things I realized was that I hadn't been doing laundry because my husband had been doing it this whole time. So stuff like that that you get to be very childlike about, you know, like married people say things like, you know, that's my best friend. You know, It's very childlike actually you know. Yeah, right Yeah, that's what I meant by that And I was thinking about actually, I had watched Funny AF. I was great. You were great in it. Thank you. And with the short stuff, it's interesting because in the roast, the Gevin Hart roast, There's a lot of short jokes in there. Yeah But maybe it turns out those weren't the most problematic ones. And so like you know what I mean?? Yeah, You gott to embrace the short jokes when it's like lynching jokes are a fair game. No, totally. I think that's beautiful. Like when married people are like, oh, you're my best friend. 'cause poolypeople, we have to be like, this is my third nesting partner once removed metamore. I know, it's so much. Sounds buggy.'s there's a lot of language There's a lot of words, there's a lot of terms of art. That just seems a little bit too much brains space. L I just I feel like I don't have the I don't know how you' like Like this is my hinge partner and my kitchen table polyamory I truly am learning new words with every passing moment about this. and like I just it just seems like Like you know when they wanted the Earth to be at the center of the universe and so they were trying to make the model work, So they were adding the little epicircles around the circles. They're like, no, it's fine. Earth still the center, but it's a circle airc. I feel like a lot of what I hear about polyamory, it's like, no, now, technically, your partner subcategory parentheses ated. I think it's good to have another person around. I was I lived with a straight couple who then got engaged. and so then another straight couple poached me and I started living with them and then they got engaged. These straight couples are both now married and have children because I was around. Yeah. Wow. You're like a free agent.ight That's soskay need a free agent there to weigh in on things. Maybe poly people are the most adult actually Vocab words are sending me it's I don't even, you know, like I don't I don't remember most of the words you just said. Yeah, they just now. And so yeah, like you have to be on time, super beond time, remember each other's interests, things like that. That's really the brain capacity needed Right Plus like the steaks become higher because it's like, I got your favorite chicken Parmesan and then they're like, that's not my favorite. Wh'se favorite is it piece of shit For sure. Oh my God, I've blown it yet again. It's like every day is fucking misses Doubtfire with you people. Because there's always a hierarchy too, right? Like because most places are just plus one. Yeah, right? You can only bring a plus and one to the wedding You know what I mean? You gotta think about those things and usually have a long discussion Uually every Sunday, you'll be like, we have our polycule meetup where we talk about our feelings. And that's so much. I know it work. Really When do you have I see, that's why you wantan to get eventually to a place where your entire polycule lives together and works together and you together. you know you may all be baristas, but you're splitting that money and paying together. Okay, so rent, that seems extra people to pay rent. I'm seeing a plus Listeners, I want you to know something. I hear how judgmental I sound I'm not going to fix that tonight. I'm going to think about questions in which I try to see the good of this in a future episode because it's not happening for. It's like you build a commune, right? It's like it turns into a village, right? It takes a village to pay rent. And then one person dec. Right And so thatly there we go In this economy, yeah, it's, you know, I see a lot of pluses too.

Itsrid, It's June, it's getting hot around, but it's time to spike the Celsius with a round of gay for takes Here's how it works. This is how it takes gay edition Odsk, Brandon Ash, I'm going gonna give you a gay pride hot take. You have to give an impassioned defense of this hot take, even if you disagree with it. You can't bail midway and you can't hal asset. spepeaking of full throats and asses, Brendon, let's start with you. Wow. W. First up We should stop asking drag queens to do the splits. Yeah, we should stop asking drag queens to do the splits. There When did drag become an athletic sport? Also, drag queens, there's no union, There's no health insurance. These girls are getting paid in drink tickets. The people who want drag queens to do the splits are the MCL and ACL surgeons Because these girls are gonna hurt themselves. D Drag queens should be lip syncing to a song by a diva about how time has passed her by. Drag queens should not be doing fliiply loops, getting the twisties, tearing their groins. There's already a lot happening up there the talking and I'm going to start betting on Kowsi for which one of them is going to rip their dang leg off with how athletic Drag has become Drag is an art form. It's not about doing flips and splits Yeah. Drag queens, I stand with you. Stand still. That was beautiful. I also just want to say that I think getting the twwisties sounds like a Victorian name for a hernia. Next up, Ozko, being a straight woman is harder than being a gay man. I feel like this isn't my Month And really my time. I as a person who cares and has a lot of gay friends a lot Some of them are on stage. I'm gonna give it to Brendon. to say this. And then I'm gonna just kind of be the energy behind. It like an ally thing Yeah. It's way harder to do. youready play with than a gay guy. Oh than you Oh, thank you. You reready went into it. Did you already play the game where whoever is the best ally? Yeah. Who won Elizabeth Taylor. Oh, so I don't even. I don'tt have a shot. No, you're out. Of You're out. Well Brendon already went into it, so I'm just gonna kind of be the energy behind why a straight woman, being a straight woman is harder than being a gay guy. G. Yeah, it's hard to be a straight woman. You go to the wrong studio sometimes And she's principle Your husband isn't around today to drive you everywhere like he typically does. So tired. And your gay guys are too much in a comeown to text you where they are and where you're supposed to be It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. I also feel like Being a straight woman means you have to date straight men. And I just think that like some of them are great, but that's a challenge. It's just a challenge. some of them it's just like, no, you can't wear that. It's a wedding. You're saying a lot of that kind of thing. no gay guy has to say that to another gay guy. I love this. All right, next up, Ashley, monogamy is the best way to have a functional relationship I told you, I wasn't gonna learn her grow today. Yeah. Yeah. I said that. Yeah. Yes. mononogamy is the best way to have a healthy Relationships. Um, because Secretly cheating is French and sexy and hotter anyway, and that's what a lot of monogamous people do. so that's kind of fun. And weddings are cool. I haven't been to one in a while. Oh wasn't. It's so funny because Osk and I were just at a wedding. Yeah ye. yeah.. It was John's wedding where I was only allowed a plus one So yeah ye, a not very poly friendly wedding, I guess. so maybe that's why I didn't get the invites. Yeah, that's why. I wasn't gonna to get a plus two, so fair enough. but you know monogamous people be their best friends and I feel like they probably don't change their sheets as much as I do. so that's probably handy And oh, you probably like don't have a hard time choosing what restaurants to eat at Like that'ss just two people deciding on that You know you don't even have to take a vote and that is probably so good for your relationship. Yeah, you can't vote because it's either twoo two or tie or tie. So the votes never matter. Yeah, but we're over here. we're vetoing. We're Boy, we have an electoral college. Yeah, you have friend. That's so beautiful. That's so beautiful. That is bad and that is why monogamy is better. Shout out monogamy. Wow. The OG.. All right, one last one. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you can be mean all the time Uh ye, I think just because you're gay doesn't mean you can be mean all the time. Throwing a bitch at the end of it doesn't make you funny. just you're just saying a mean comment about a woman's hair just because you have a little llt in your voice doesn't mean it's charming. Sometimes it, but often it's just like, wait a second Are you being cool and funny or are you just being a huge kunch with a little lisp at the end? You know what I mean How about looking at you. Who' the main one?'m just. What? Who are the guys that are mean all the time? You're saying all of them? I feel like this applies a little bit to me. I don't know. I don't know who this is directed at. I think sometimes it's directed at fitness instructors, lotots of people. like fitness instructors are so motivational and nice. They are. Oh're so. Well I love a p at the end by a fitness instructor me more bitch. Yeah. I'm like, I am a bitch. I'll give you everything Micha Yeah. a hundred percent. Michael's the guy who teaches spin at my gym and Give it all away for him. I get mean ladies, just really mean mean ladies who I feel like I can feel them judging me. Really? Yeah. Oh yeah. I guess it depends on the class. Is this all cycling? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah just I take dance fitness, so it's a little different that's going to be a joyful game. They don't scream as much, I think as Psycho becausecause it's hard when you're like, you know doing spins like with your feet Yeah. You have to keep the rhythm and so on. Yeah. Yeah It's really easy to be a bitch on a bike. Yes You're locked in with the shoes, you know?. You' locked in. Y legs only go two ways on the bike It like you want to move around. That's my problem with the bike. It's like, Ohh my God. There's forward and in this back. That's it for an hour. No, thank you. Sometimes they throw in the handweight moves. Yeah, I know. They're trying to do it with the handwights and it's like, let's stop pretending this isn int a bike. All right, Ron. Can we all just face the facts? This is a fucking bike. We'll be right back Boy We had a lot of fun tonight, but also, we said some things we might regret. And God can judge us for it. But until then, let's take a look at the things my producers wish I shouldn't have said or did In a second we call second thoughts And Oso Brendon and Ashley, if you have any second thoughts about this evening, I'd love to hear them as well. all right. Uh Things I'm apologizing for from the monologue. I'm sorry about the joke, Fag pull U It's also fine that cats is about cats. It's called cats. And the Arkansas stuff got pretty dark, but I don't regret that. I feel like everybody came along I feel good about that. I feel that. Ashy and Bren, I'm sorry for not inviting you to the wedding. It's okay. I had something that night. Yeah And oh, I don't remember saying this, but apparently I called Ashley's lifestyle, quote, terrible. And do I genuinely don't remember doing that, and I regret it. I regret it. I shouldn't have said that.. I can't say it's wrong. feel I feel like I said n One might see it as terrible, but I feel like the word terrible was thrown thrown about I don't think I put it I think I had some ironic distance from it. Ashley, do you have any regrets? I regret every insult to the poly community I made because I don't want to lose my sponsorship with the Field app N place to meet poly Aamorous singles or your next pooly cule But no, I mean, you know, some of us were so great. And I love how diverse representations of polyamory are on TV now. We got queer couples, we got lesbian polycules Go us. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that there was a polyamorous couple on that show with therapist. Yes but I ha't gotten to that. They were horrible. Oh, everyvery poly couple on that show is horrible. Like they are always the most selfish, ridiculous people. One of them started a massiveire forest fire in Northern California And by the way, I on to be polyamorous, like come on, man. Okay, well I feel like those are unrelated at least. No As I get it, I see where they're connected. Brendon any second Brendon any second thoughts before we wrap it up. I feel like I threw my boyfriend under the bus regards to Stardew Valley and I want to apologize to him
