Dylan Mulvaney
The Dylan Hour. My couch is open. It's better than therapy. All you soccer moms, all you theys and thems, all you bottom boys, my bisexual femmes, come one and all disassociate with me. It's free, grab a drink or two or three. You have no friends.
Sarah
All good.
Dylan Mulvaney
You got me. It's the Dealing Hour. Love ya. Is this a good time? Oh, I sure hope it is, because today, a podcast is born. This is my first episode of the brand new show, the Dylan Hour. Hosted by me. It's Dylan Mulvaney, baby. The Dylan Hour is a retro cocktail party where we sip and we spill with some of my favorite humans. And we've got plenty of fun segments for you. We have a lot of oversharing to do, and I'm excited to be doing that now with other humans and not just alone in my bedroom. Um, but I'm gonna be doing it with my guests and with you. And this podcast has been in the works for almost three years. And some of you might know me from, like, my Days of Girlhood series online, where I, like, documented my transition. But even at the beginning of my time on social media, I was, like, often having my content used against me by, like, really horrendous straight white men podcasters. And I remember thinking, like, we need a way to combat this hatred. And I was like, well, I'm just gonna have to start a podcast of my own. And thus, the Dylan Hour is now happening. It's here. And I think the world is just a really scary place right now. And I think finding joy is not only important, but it's absolutely necessary to get us through. And while I think we can get vulnerable on here, I really want this to be a fun place for me and my guests to just escape and be silly and be stupid. And so we have that to look forward to. I have lots of fantastic friends that I'm gonna be having on here. Actors, writers, drag queens. You know, with the heavy emphasis on the girls, the gays, and the theys. I think y'all are about to see just how ADHD I really am by my hosting style, which can only be described as rapid, unfiltered, and potentially hard to follow. No, I. I just really want to emphasize that these are conversations between two friends. And another reason that I wanted to do this is because I've had so many iconic conversations behind closed doors with some of these folks, and I want to share that with you. But that also means that sometimes I will be interjecting my own stories or answering my own questions. So if you are exclusively here for the guests or a Dylan Mulvaney hater in general, you might not love this format. I do think some of you will be surprised at how raunchy I am. I do occasionally like to indulge in a casual cocktail or two, but hopefully it's only going to bring us closer. I want to theme today's episode around birthday celebrations. Because in a way, a baby being born is technically. It's like zero birthday. Right. Literal birth date. So it's my podcast birthday. I've always taken birthdays a little too seriously, and they often fall short. But I think a birthday is less about what you do and more about who you're with. So I wanted to have on my best friend, who I always have a surefire good time with. My guest is 21. I regrettably missed his 21st birthday, which I wanted to take him to Vegas. It didn't happen. I, um. So I thought we could use today's episode to celebrate him finally being able to drink legally in America. But he hails from one of my favorite countries and also the place where my favorite candy is produced, Percy Pigs. Okay. But specifically the fizzy kinds. I am so excited to toast and celebrate my dear friend, talented actor in Broadway sensation. You'll know him from Heartstopper, Agatha, Sweeney Todd. It's Joe Lock.
Joe Lock
Hi.
Dylan Mulvaney
Hi, Joe.
Joe Lock
Hi.
Dylan Mulvaney
How are you?
Joe Lock
You know what? I've had a really good day. I've been following Dylan around all day today.
Dylan Mulvaney
You were my driver.
Joe Lock
I drove to Santa Monica and back.
Dylan Mulvaney
But have you ever driven in America?
Joe Lock
Yeah, I drove. I was in Atlanta for six months and I drove every day there. And I feel like if anyone knows anything about Atlanta and the driving, once you drive there, you can sort of drive anywhere.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, LA's no small feature.
Joe Lock
LA is just traffic.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then we drove to the beach. I was on a podcast. You walked around?
Joe Lock
A walk around town? Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my. You've been kind of.
Joe Lock
I also, I feel like I, like. Whilst you were coming to pick me up, I'm pretty sure I got propositioned. I think someone thought I was, like, working the street corner.
Dylan Mulvaney
And did you. Did you say yes?
Joe Lock
Well, you literally turned the corner and.
Dylan Mulvaney
I was like, ah, damn. There's no time, no time. Could have been quick. How do you feel about birthdays?
Joe Lock
You know, I'm not a birthday person.
Dylan Mulvaney
Were you mad at me for missing your birthday?
Joe Lock
No, because I don't care about my birthday.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my God. It's the Only thing I care about my life is birthdays.
Joe Lock
I know.
Dylan Mulvaney
And also accelerating my other friends. So I made a podcast three years ago, before we were friends, so. Because I knew that I was going to maybe miss your birthday in the future, so I wanted this to be for you.
Joe Lock
Wow. This is all for me?
Dylan Mulvaney
It's all for you. And to celebrate you, we have a little. You've got a cocktail next to you. You know what? We're calling this one for you, honey.
Joe Lock
What?
Dylan Mulvaney
Twink Juice.
Joe Lock
Twink Juice.
Dylan Mulvaney
Cheers. It's an espresso martini.
Joe Lock
I want some cream on mine.
Dylan Mulvaney
You want a little cream on yours? Okay, don't spill. I didn't know. I didn't want to assume you're. Oh, you're. You're a slightly classier person than I am. You want to spray it? Yeah. You seem to be a little bit more put together than I am. I also will say I'm a little older than you. Yeah, give it a spray. You never done this before? Well, normally they have like a. Oh, that's nice.
Joe Lock
A special, anyway.
Dylan Mulvaney
A what? A special. What you want?
Joe Lock
I'm actually lactose intolerant, but no.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, well, it's gonna. I was gonna say this Twink juice is gonna get us through to a very long night because it's. You want more? Oh, shit. That's nice. We've had a. Here, give me that.
Joe Lock
Okay.
Dylan Mulvaney
Thank you. Okay, let's do first sips. Cheers.
Joe Lock
Cheers.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mm. Oh, that's good. We've had a. We've had a few espresso martinis, but mostly in London.
Joe Lock
Mostly in London.
Dylan Mulvaney
This is your. Like, our. Well, I guess we spent, like, a day together in LA with Agatha, but we did. Talk to me about bitter and sweet of your week.
Joe Lock
Ooh. Oh, gosh. You. You literally told me to think about this, and I didn't even.
Dylan Mulvaney
I know. Last night.
Joe Lock
My high and low. You know what, my sweet?
Dylan Mulvaney
This is good. No, that's what they do on podcasts, especially on the first episode, they say what the segments are.
Joe Lock
Oh, yeah. That's.
Dylan Mulvaney
The first segment of the Dylan Hour with Joe Lock is bitter and sweet of our week. It's our high and low. Our Rosenthorne, if you will. I love to find the positive, but I'm not scared to go to the negative. Give it to us, Joe.
Joe Lock
My sweet has been sitting on your deck in Dylan's garden in the sun.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yes.
Joe Lock
Whilst Dylan has been having the busiest week of her life. And I have been just. There's something. There's nothing more relaxing than Being relaxed around someone else's chaos.
Dylan Mulvaney
Are you serious?
Joe Lock
Like, I have had the most nice week because normally I'm the one with the chaos. So to be sat reading a book.
Dylan Mulvaney
And drinking my phone, meanwhile in the sun, I'm like crying to a publicist saying that I can't do another interview. But in my mind, I'm like, I've got to take Joe to the Hollywood sign and then we've got to do a double decker tour bus.
Joe Lock
I'm having the best day of my.
Dylan Mulvaney
Life, so you're giving me full permission that I don't have to take you.
Joe Lock
Please don't hate tourist stuff.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, wow.
Joe Lock
I love feeling like I'm a local when I visit someone.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think we really got that in the traffic on the freeway today.
Joe Lock
Yeah, I really felt like a local.
Dylan Mulvaney
And your bidder of the week.
Joe Lock
My bitter, bitter of the week. The lingering cold I still have.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mmm.
Joe Lock
It's way better than it was.
Dylan Mulvaney
You sound way better.
Joe Lock
I sounded like I chain smoked. I quite liked it. I think there was something about, like, my internalized homophobia that quite enjoyed the masculinity of it.
Dylan Mulvaney
Baby, lock them doors and turn them. You know what that song is?
Joe Lock
Yeah, I know that song.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. That's also the theme of our friendship, is mostly just me asking, do you know what this is? Or do they have this in the uk, Maybe lock them doors and turn them. Do they have country music in the uk?
Joe Lock
It exists, yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. But not like the biggest. Not the biggest thing.
Joe Lock
No. No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Maybe the pivot of my career is to just become a country singer in.
Joe Lock
London because the country music industry is really booming.
Dylan Mulvaney
They need me.
Joe Lock
They love. They love progressive.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm the Kim Petras of country. But in the uk, watch out, baby. I would say my suite of the week has been. You've hosted me so much in London, I now get to host you. Would you say that, like, what have been the key differences between staying when I'm staying with you and then now you staying with me?
Joe Lock
Ooh. I don't. I think we're very similar hosts.
Dylan Mulvaney
Really?
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mindful, but not the. My suitcase explodes when it's at your house.
Joe Lock
Yeah, My suitcase has exploded within that suitcase. Have you noticed that? Like, it stayed within the suitcase, but it hasn't exploded?
Dylan Mulvaney
No, I walked in there today and I thought, mm, that's nice. Mine, not so much.
Joe Lock
No. You came to visit me once and I, like, carried Dylan's huge two pink suitcases up the stairs. And then I was like, oh, I'm gonna make Myself a coffee. I'll like, you settle in. I like, literally maybe was out of the room for maybe three or four minutes. I walked back in. It's like a bomb had gone off.
Dylan Mulvaney
I know, that's a talent.
Joe Lock
I was like, how do. I don't understand how there's not physically been enough time that's gone past.
Dylan Mulvaney
One of the few things I'm actually very good at is fucking up a room wildly quickly. But it does feel nice because since I've messed up your guest room so often, it's been nice to let you mess up mine a bit.
Joe Lock
Yeah. Dylan has the comfiest bed in the world.
Dylan Mulvaney
I've never slept in that one.
Joe Lock
It's so.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think it's a hundred dollar mattress. I swear to God.
Joe Lock
Well, whatever it is, it's.
Dylan Mulvaney
You're the new face, baby. I think my. So that's my sweet, my bitter kind of funny. You didn't bring me any Percy's.
Joe Lock
No, I didn't.
Dylan Mulvaney
What's up? What was going through your mind?
Joe Lock
You know, I also realized I've forgotten to do. I forgot to ask Rosie.
Dylan Mulvaney
No.
Joe Lock
Yeah, she's already on the plane.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my God, you're kidding.
Joe Lock
I can try.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's okay. You know what, actually, this is a public service announcement. This is a good opportunity I'm gonna take. Another reason why I'm starting this podcast is, is so that the people watching in the UK can just start sending me Percy pigs, Specifically the fizzy tails, which I'd like to have one of right now. Did you. You never. You didn't hook me on these. What was your relationship to Percy pigs before you left me?
Joe Lock
I have a controversial relationship with Percy pigs. I. This is really not like. Peter, I'm gonna be happy. Percy pigs used to have actual gelatin in.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay.
Joe Lock
And there used to be. They used to taste different. And then they made all of them veggie, which I understand and I get, but like, the flavor of them changed when they changed it into a veggie one as well.
Dylan Mulvaney
You liked veggie one or.
Joe Lock
No, no. So before, like, we're talking five, 10 years ago, before they made all of them vegetarian, they all had gelatin in. So they had pig in a Percy pig.
Dylan Mulvaney
Uh.
Joe Lock
Oh, no. Yeah, not cool. But they tasted really good.
Dylan Mulvaney
But I didn't know what that was.
Joe Lock
No, you've never experienced that taste.
Dylan Mulvaney
So now you can get.
Joe Lock
You can get like the original veggie, which is what the. Like, they made a vegetarian version before. They made them all vegetarian, but they still kept the vegetarian version. When they changed the recipe for all of them, the flavor of that is what it used to be. It's complicated, so I have a really complicated history with it. I love Marks and Spencer with my whole heart.
Dylan Mulvaney
So good.
Joe Lock
It's the best shop in the world, other than Trader Joe's.
Dylan Mulvaney
Did you work there?
Joe Lock
No. No, I didn't, but all my friends did, and I feel like I was the only one who didn't.
Dylan Mulvaney
Never say never.
Joe Lock
You know the island man.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's not too late.
Joe Lock
Marks and Spencer is actually one of the busiest in the uk. You wouldn't think it.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mmm. Wait, the Isle of Man. That's where you're from?
Joe Lock
That's where I'm from.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's where it all started.
Joe Lock
That's where it all started.
Dylan Mulvaney
And you did theater there.
Joe Lock
Did theater there.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then you booked a little show.
Joe Lock
Just a little one, yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then we met. And that's when your life really started.
Joe Lock
I remember the day we met.
Dylan Mulvaney
Tell us.
Joe Lock
Me and Dylan had followed each other on Instagram for a few months. And then you were in London and you were like, oh, let's, like, meet up and grab coffee or. And then we ended up spending, like, seven hours in SoHo House just talking drunk. We, like, really drunk. But within, we, like, both had, like, meetings. We just cancelled because we just canceled.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well. And I didn't know that many people in London, but you were one of those people. Also, I will say that your presence online, especially at that point, was still quite mysterious. And so I was like, what's his deal? I was like, I want to know more about this person. And it felt like fast friends. Now, what was your relationship to social media before Heartstopper? Were you, like, an active poster?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Ever?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Snapchat.
Joe Lock
I use Snapchat. But, like, in the same way, like, every teenager does.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay.
Joe Lock
I wasn't loaded. Misappended, loaded.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then you never.
Joe Lock
I.
Dylan Mulvaney
You were never.
Joe Lock
Before Heartstopper, I had, like, normal amounts of, like, 800 Instagram followers. And then I think when the show got announced, like, over the year of me being announced and the show coming out, I gained, like, a hundred thousand. And then I went from like, a hundred thousand on the day of release to three and a half million two days later.
Dylan Mulvaney
Casual?
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Normal.
Joe Lock
Yeah, Just normal.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah. Very healthy.
Joe Lock
And then since then, it's like every time something gets released, I will gain followers. But now, like, on average, I will lose, like, 20,000 followers a day.
Dylan Mulvaney
For what?
Joe Lock
I don't know.
Dylan Mulvaney
This is wrong.
Joe Lock
I used to get really upset about It. I've sort of come at peace with the fact that, like. But, like, that's 20,000 people a day who are actively. You know, when you unfollow someone, you have to press unfollow, think. I say, are you sure? And then all these people are saying, oh, we are sure. We don't want this guy in our life anymore. Right. And that used to really, like, genuinely get to me. Whereas now I just find it quite funny.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, also, I feel like it happens when, like, you post something. You know, it's like, yeah. You remind someone that they're following you, and they're like, oh, fuck, I don't want to follow this person. And so it then makes you be like, wait, maybe I shouldn't post so that I keep the people. Yeah, no, you gotta post people. You gotta find the right people.
Joe Lock
Post, baby, post, Post, baby, post.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then I've gone to visit you. That trip, though, was day 1000. I woke up to a Percy Pig cake from you.
Joe Lock
I've been cuddling that Percy pig. I bought Dylan a big Percy Pig for her. Day 1000. I've been cuddling it every night.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, it's. That was a lot of room that it took up in my suitcase. And I'm really grateful still. But you would not do the one thing that I wanted that day.
Joe Lock
One thing about Dylan that I love the most is that when she wants to do something, she will do it.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm gonna go.
Joe Lock
Like, if you don't want to go, she's not gonna judge you for that. But she's still gonna do it. And ever since we met, you've been talking about the Jacuzzi boat. Jacuzzi boat in Canary Wharf picture. If anyone doesn't know Canary Wharf picture, like, businessmen in suits. Dirty water that, like, doesn't really drain anywhere because it's in the wharf rather than the actual river and December businessman in suits.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's my boyfriend.
Joe Lock
Six degrees Celsius.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mmm.
Joe Lock
Hot. Cold.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's cold.
Joe Lock
That's really cold.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's a nice contrast.
Joe Lock
It's like a 45 degree Fahrenheit day.
Dylan Mulvaney
And you're in a hot, hot pool of water that has an engine in it.
Joe Lock
And it's awful.
Dylan Mulvaney
But did you feel like you kind of wanted to go?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Did you feel jealous after seeing all my pictures?
Joe Lock
Absolutely not.
Dylan Mulvaney
So I. Then I didn't feel bad at all.
Joe Lock
You had to make me feel bad. You didn't try to make me feel bad. I think you were hoping that I would feel bad and therefore would Go with you. There was, even though it was your day, 1,000, all of that.
Dylan Mulvaney
It was, well, today's your birthday, seven months late, so I'll do whatever you want today. If you wanted to get in a Jacuzzi boat, I'd probably go, but that's.
Joe Lock
Because that's what you want to do.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, now the hold up.
Joe Lock
If I wanted to go and get a nice big salad with loads of vegetables.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my. I'm out.
Joe Lock
There you go.
Dylan Mulvaney
You know, I'll sit with you. You know what? I would have gone and watched you. Could have been with all the businessmen with the suits. But I found a girl's girl, Kira, my makeup artist. And she's like, darling, I'll be right there. I give. The thing about me too is like, I sometimes give people like 20 minutes notice for like a 40 minute drive. I'm like, can you meet me across town to go to this thing? She's like, dawn, I'll be right there. And so we go on this boat. We had a. Oh, God. We had to, like, put down the. There was a big pipe with smoke that we'd have to put down with the. What are those things called where you go under a bridge? There we go. So. Oh, they got a lot of bridges over there in London. I saw that. So I put those down and it was a great day.
Joe Lock
It was raining.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. Well, in my mind, it was a great day.
Joe Lock
Oh, it was a great day.
Dylan Mulvaney
It was amazing. And something else that's kind of happened now that feels. Two of my favorite things really are Jacuzzis. And I also like a psychic.
Joe Lock
Are we gonna tell the story?
Dylan Mulvaney
I think we have to.
Joe Lock
We have to tell the story.
Dylan Mulvaney
So we're having a really sweet dinner the other night. It'd been a long day. We go. We were at a restaurant that felt oddly kind of like the Twilight movie where Bella and Edward go to Italian food for the first time together. And we walk out and we're gonna be walking back to my house, and we see an open sign that's on a light. What's next to the open sign?
Joe Lock
It's a psychic.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's a psychic. There's a psychic on me.
Joe Lock
A psychic. And then it said, if I can't save you, no one can.
Dylan Mulvaney
So I. For those of you that don't know, I love a psychic. I regularly go once a year to, like, kind of like Kardashian level psychic. But this one was. This was also at 9:30pm yeah. So we call and then we hear her talking through the Window. And she's like, what time do you want to come? And we're like, now? And she's like, great. Come on. So we then knock on her door. She opens up in her bathrobe. I'm also nervous because, like, I was actually nervous to bring this one up. I'm scared that she's going to see this and I'm going to get hexed. Do you feel that? For me, you're fine.
Joe Lock
Well, I haven't told them what she said to you yet. That's.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, fuck. Okay, here we go. Wait. One sip. Oh, my God. I gotta put my drink down for this. So we're in the psychic. I go first, and Joe goes and sits with the husband on the couch in the living room.
Joe Lock
We have a really nice conversation about wallpaper paste for half an hour.
Dylan Mulvaney
For half an hour.
Joe Lock
Genuinely.
Dylan Mulvaney
Now, I paid for the $60 palm reading, which I assumed would take five minutes. Went on a little longer because she looks at me. She, like, reads my palm. She goes, oh, you're single? And I was like, yeah. And she goes, this is very early on in this. In the session, mind you. She goes, it's. You're single because you have a demon that comes and has sex with you every night, and that's why you're so tired when you wake up. And that demon is getting in the way of any relationship that you could have outside of you and that demon, that sex demon. And in that moment, I'm, like, looking at her mind, you have 27 minutes left of the conversation with her. And I'm like, this. Mm. And she kept going, look at me. Look at me. Cause I would look down to text my. All I could text Joe was, no, don't. I got two words that I needed to make sure that he didn't go after me. And she's like, do you have, you know, do you have bruises on. On your. Your parts downstairs? And I was like, no. And she was like, well, it's coming. She was like, that's what you. Like that's what you should expect to happen be from this demon. And she goes, the demon has been following the women of my family for many years, and that this goes back to, like, my great grandmother, and if I pay a certain fee, she can get the demon removed. What we're a little nervous about is that her grandchildren do follow me.
Joe Lock
So, yeah, I was talking to the husband, and he was like, oh, all these famous people live around here. And then there's this famous TikTok girl. And I was like, oh, really couldn't be me.
Dylan Mulvaney
No. And so what we're a little nervous about is that I did not pay the fee. I did tip her an extra 20 on top of the palm reading just to be like, you know what?
Joe Lock
Maybe she's right.
Dylan Mulvaney
What?
Joe Lock
Maybe you do have a sex demon.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, I woke up really tired this morning.
Joe Lock
That's cause you didn't sleep though.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well.
Joe Lock
Or.
Dylan Mulvaney
But what if that. What if, what if. But here's the thing. I at least would want to know, like if it's happening to me, I would want to be a part of that. And then Toby, our friend Toby, like I had like shared something to our close friends and I like, was talking about what had happened with the sex demon. And he was like, oh, this sounds. You're like Lily Depp in Nosferatu. And I was like, oh, do I look like her? Or is it like, like, is it because I look like Lily Rose Depp? He was like, no, it's because you're getting fucked in the night by Adina. So I'm a little nervous about that. Would you want a sex demon? Be honest.
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Why not?
Joe Lock
I don't. I don't want to have sex with a demon.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, fair.
Joe Lock
I don't know.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'll take whatever.
Joe Lock
I want to have unconsensual sex with a demon every day.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah, I want to. I want to know if I'm going.
Joe Lock
To have sex with a demon. I want to be. That's a choice I've made.
Dylan Mulvaney
Thank you. Okay.
Joe Lock
I feel like the choice we have made.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah, we've made some choices.
Joe Lock

Joe Lock
It's the Dealing Hour.
Dylan Mulvaney
Now tell us. So you start. You were an actor on the Isle of Man. You did a lot of musicals. What was your favorite musical you ever did on the island?
Joe Lock
Check the musical.
Dylan Mulvaney
That was your first one?
Joe Lock
Yeah, I almost did it twice, but then I got hot still the second time, so I had to drop out.
Dylan Mulvaney
Wait, what character was the. What did you.
Joe Lock
I played the Farquad's dad. He comes right at the end and he goes. I suppose my invitation got lost in the mail.
Dylan Mulvaney
I've never heard of Farquad's dad as a character in Train.
Joe Lock
You know, he has that song.
Dylan Mulvaney
You're really good, babe.
Joe Lock
I was like 11.
Dylan Mulvaney
The talent level in the Isle of Man, really high, really crazy.
Joe Lock
I think Samantha Box, she's from the Isle of Man.
Dylan Mulvaney
Shut up.
Joe Lock
Yeah, it's me and her, I mean.
Dylan Mulvaney
Breaking through, but everybody else is like a star that's waiting to be discovered.
Joe Lock
Yeah, but it's just hard to. I got very lucky.
Dylan Mulvaney
What did you want to be?
Joe Lock
I wanted to be an actor. I didn't think it would happen, so I thought I'd become.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm like, what did you want to be? In Shrek.
Joe Lock
Oh, in Shrek. Oh, I wanted to be Shrek. I still do.
Dylan Mulvaney
I want to be ginger.
Joe Lock
I still. You could be a great ginger.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, I'd love it. But you want to. You still want to play Shrek?
Joe Lock
I think Shrek the Musical is one of the best written musicals of all musicals. Wow. The music is so good.
Dylan Mulvaney
It is.
Joe Lock
And I will. I will. Oh, I love On Die on my hill.
Dylan Mulvaney
I know it's today.
Joe Lock
Gorgeous song, all of them.
Dylan Mulvaney
And so what was the second time you were supposed to do it?
Joe Lock
I supposed to do Peter Pan the second time.
Dylan Mulvaney
Wow. We got. We're moving up in the world, aren't we? But you got Heartstopper instead.
Joe Lock
I got Heartstopper and then I left.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's like, shrek, Heartstopper, Star.
Joe Lock
I remember being like. To the director, being like, I'm really sorry. Like, I just gotta. And he was like, no, I get it.
Dylan Mulvaney
And he was like, well, you should be doing Trek.
Joe Lock
Well, that was. Yeah, they got it.
Dylan Mulvaney
How did. How did your life shift? Did you have time to prepare for Heartstart? Funny story. I've never asked you about this period of time in your life, and I've only watched some of the episodes, which are very good.
Joe Lock
Thanks.
Dylan Mulvaney
But I don't know this.
Joe Lock
I got asked up. It was during COVID Okay. I had to fly to London for the audition. Had to come back to the Isle of Man and isolate on my own in my house for two weeks, like, with just me and my dog. My mom had to move out and then I got the part. I couldn't tell and couldn't, like, celebrate anyone. I like, FaceTime my mum to tell her because. And then I. Two weeks after that, I got on a plane back to London and started filming.
Dylan Mulvaney
It was in London you were filming? Did you know any of the cast before that?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
So you did season one, you moved to London, then?
Joe Lock
I went home, finished my high school exams.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, that needed to happen.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Do you finish high school also? Do they call it something different?
Joe Lock
Sick form. So you do like, your GCSEs, which is like. You're like, everyone has to do them. And then you go back and do your A levels.
Dylan Mulvaney
Sick form.
Joe Lock
Sixth. Like sixth. Like the number six.
Dylan Mulvaney
Six, but like sixth.
Joe Lock
Because it's your sixth. Sixth year, I guess.
Dylan Mulvaney
Form.
Joe Lock
Form, yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
And. Okay.
Joe Lock
I don't know where it comes from.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then most people go to university.
Joe Lock
Yeah, uni. But I didn't. I got a place, I got grades. I could. I got quite good grades considering my attendance for the last year at school was, like, 13. Because I would go to school in the day, fly to London in the evening, go to an event, do a press thing, spend the night in London, then get the 5am flight back to the Isle of Man, do a day of school. I was doing that every day for, like, two months and I still got Abbas.
Dylan Mulvaney
What is a B? B?
Joe Lock
Like a A B and a B. Oh, great. I know. I was really quite proud of myself.
Dylan Mulvaney
I love it. Now, you had a second season, Heartstopper. How did that differ? You felt a little more comfortable.
Joe Lock
Yeah, I mean, I finished school at that point, so I could.
Dylan Mulvaney
You could.
Joe Lock
And then I went straight onto Agatha.
Dylan Mulvaney
And how did that happen?
Joe Lock
A lot of auditions. Like nine. Zoom Fusion. Then they flew me out here.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, this scares me. Do you know this reference? Zoom, zoom, zoom make my heart go boom, boom, boom My supernova girl.
Joe Lock
I do, but I don't.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, God, it's Xenon Z3. Yeah.
Joe Lock
I don't have clothes.
Dylan Mulvaney
Xenon the sequel. No, Xenon Girl of the Century. And that is where the age difference comes to play.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
So you're doing Agatha in Atlanta, where you drove a car.
Joe Lock
Atlanta, Georgia, where I drove a car.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm also curious, do you. You have a license?
Joe Lock
Yeah, no, I just have been driving your car all Day without a license.
Dylan Mulvaney
But you said before you took the keys, you said, is this legal?
Joe Lock
Because in the UK you can't just drive someone else's car, can you?
Dylan Mulvaney
In America?
Joe Lock
I Googled it. You can.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, good.
Joe Lock
Well, it's fine. I've done it now, so.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. We were great. If I was. I feel like in the UK you.
Joe Lock
Need to have a certain type of insurance to drive someone else's car.
Dylan Mulvaney
I felt like you're. Like, you had a permit, and I was in your driving instructor, and I signed off.
Joe Lock
There was a few times she was, like, trying to work and was, like, checking that I was, like, moving lane correctly.
Dylan Mulvaney
It was great. I mean, it was like I was two people at once.
Joe Lock
Was that good?
Dylan Mulvaney
But you were really good.
Joe Lock
I'm a good driver.
Dylan Mulvaney
You're really put together.
Joe Lock
Thank you.
Dylan Mulvaney
But. So you're in Agatha. Did you ever drive Patti LuPone?
Joe Lock
I don't think I have. I think I would remember if I drove by lepon.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think. I think that it would be really intimidating to pick out a song to put on.
Joe Lock
I think she's driven me on a golf cart before, but that's about it.
Dylan Mulvaney
She was in charge of the golf cart.
Joe Lock
She was staying in this weird part of Atlanta that everyone drove around in golf carts, and she. Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my God. How. What was working with her? Like, were you intimidated at first.
Joe Lock
I remember I found out, for the sake of no one not watching on video, Dylan just dropped a purse on your dress.
Dylan Mulvaney
There's just that one, too. You want to get that for me? Thank you, babe.
Joe Lock
When I found out she was in the show, I remember, like, I was in Sarah Finn, the casting director, who's such an incredible woman, and she was like, oh, you'll never guess who's playing Lilia. And then told me, and I, like, gay gasped and fell to the floor. Genuinely did.
Dylan Mulvaney
Did you know, though, deep down, that you were gonna be best friends?
Joe Lock
Oh, as soon as I, like, as soon as I knew I was gonna meet her, I was like, I will be best friends with this woman.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's my girl.
Joe Lock
But, like, I was. I can't underestimate how much of a Patti LuPone superfan I always was my whole life.
Dylan Mulvaney
So you were deep in already.
Joe Lock
Oh, yeah. I know. I could have told you that. That's also resume from the day that she started acting.
Dylan Mulvaney
I.
Joe Lock
All the way back to Juilliard.
Dylan Mulvaney
You still are very. You're much cooler than me in many ways, but, you know, a lot of Broadway. Mm.
Joe Lock
I think people really don't like, when I did Sweeney, I think people thought, oh, that's just this. Like the Netflix kid did. I was like, no, baby, no, baby, no.
Dylan Mulvaney
This was not like a plug and play celeb.
Joe Lock
Like, I know my. I know my shit. You know, I know which theaters. Which show was that?
Dylan Mulvaney
Revival costumes regularly.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Wait, what was. Did you ever go travel to New York to see Broadway shows before?
Joe Lock
Yeah, I went to New York first time. Which New York was like the month before Heartstopper came out? Actually, my mom used to take me to London to watch shows. First Broadway show I ever saw. I can't tell you. We can't talk about it.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay, fair.
Joe Lock
We can.
Dylan Mulvaney
What is it?
Joe Lock
Oh, you have to. Well, the first Broadway show I ever saw was Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Dylan Mulvaney
And you know what? It's a good. It's a good play.
Joe Lock
And you know what? I remember going and I remember taking a picture of. In the bathrooms in that theater, they have a sign that says, like, we support your choice to use any whichever bathroom you want. I mean, like, this is the kind of like, cunt way of being.
Dylan Mulvaney
Like, this is how we support. We support trans people.
Joe Lock
And then I went to watch Six after that, so.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, and that's a very inclusive show.
Joe Lock
Yeah, we love Six. But I've watched so many Broadway shows now. I feel very lucky.
Dylan Mulvaney
And you've been in one.
Joe Lock
Been in one.
Dylan Mulvaney
Sweeney Todd.
Joe Lock
Sweeney Todd.
Dylan Mulvaney
What was that like?
Joe Lock
Amazing. They could just sing to Sutton Foster every night.
Dylan Mulvaney
Were you friends with her?
Joe Lock
She's amazing. She's so cool.
Dylan Mulvaney
She's lovely.
Joe Lock
Like. Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then you had. You already sang that song, like, in an audition or anything for.
Joe Lock
First time I think I ever sang that song was for Alex Lacamore.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, God, that's intimidating.
Joe Lock
Yeah, like 10am on a Saturday morning.
Dylan Mulvaney
We have to remember that, like, people don't always know who that is. Like.
Joe Lock
Which is crazy because.
Dylan Mulvaney
Because that's all. That's all that matters to us. What is his claim to fame?
Joe Lock
I mean, he's done everything.
Dylan Mulvaney
I know.
Joe Lock
Hamilton, Dervin, Hanson, Wells.
Dylan Mulvaney
Did you. But I really feel like I want to bring Broadway to the mainstream through the show.
Joe Lock
Okay.
Dylan Mulvaney
And that brings us to our next segment, what a girl wants. Every week I'm going to be asking our guests, what does a girl want? But in this case, what does a gay want? What does Joe Lock want? Jo, what is something that you are desiring? Whether that's a Dyson airwrap. World peace. Anything in between. What are you looking for, Jo? Hmm?
Joe Lock
No. What Am I looking for?
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah, what do you want? Be honest. It's not something you need. What do you want? What do you want?
Joe Lock
I want. There's so many ways I could go about. There's so many things I want.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, what do you want?
Joe Lock
Obviously, like, world peace and, like, all of that stuff, but, like, yeah, sure, whatever.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's your birthday wish, babe.
Joe Lock
Okay.
Dylan Mulvaney
This is all for you. It's your birthday, seven months late. You get whatever you want. Oh, honey.
Joe Lock
Oh, my cake.
Dylan Mulvaney
Better? Oh, my God. We got you cake, it looks like. Oh, you know what? This is from What? Erewhon Is it? Yeah, this is probably $9,000 for this slice.
Joe Lock
Wow.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah.
Joe Lock
Probably tastes like shit.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, that's also.
Joe Lock
I got an Erewho, right? This is my Erewhon. Go in yesterday, I got what I thought was a chicken plate with two sides, and it arrived and there was no chicken. And the sides were gross. And my coconut cloud smoothie was also gross. And you know how much it cost me? $110. Well.
Dylan Mulvaney
And my Hailey Bieber Smoot was very good.
Joe Lock
I should have got the Hailey B, but I thought I'd try something different. But you know what? Stick to what you know.
Dylan Mulvaney
What's your birthday wish, Joe?
Joe Lock
My birthday wish?
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah. But you have to say it out loud because it's a podcast.
Joe Lock
Okay. So it can't be like, my birthday wish is that this year, I want us to go on a really nice, lavish holiday.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, I love holidays.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Tell. Okay. Where is it gonna be? Okay.
Joe Lock
Do I blow?
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah, you can blow on it. Oh, good.
Joe Lock
I want us to go to a Greek island.
Dylan Mulvaney
Take a bite. Mm. Greece. Mamma mia. Mmm.
Joe Lock
Mmm. I have my breakfast in. It's probably not a good idea, but. What? What?
Dylan Mulvaney
You have your retainer in my Invisalign.
Joe Lock
Wow. It's cutting the bottom of my mouth. I think. This one's not shaped right, so I've got a massive cut.
Dylan Mulvaney
I have a crazy cold sore. It's fine when I eat those hot chips. Oh, I got you on those, didn't I?
Joe Lock
Mm.
Dylan Mulvaney
The hot chips.
Joe Lock
Hot chips are. The Trader Joe's are the best things in the world.
Dylan Mulvaney
You gone into a Trader Joe's or.
Joe Lock
You just let me? Many times. I was in the other day. How many flowers in Trader Joe's?
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, you did? Saw you buy me flowers. This is kind of coconutty.
Joe Lock
It is.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think I like it. Oh, coconut donuts. Now I'm thinking about church.
Joe Lock
Explain that now.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's what I said. I said at the beginning of the episode I said the ADHD is a little crazy. I used to go to church and the one thing to look forward to was coconut donuts. Right, right.
Joe Lock
Still don't see the correlation.
Dylan Mulvaney
I want to go to a Greek island with you. But do you want to know what my wish is? Are you going to ask me?
Joe Lock
What's your wish?
Dylan Mulvaney
Thank you. So my. What a girl wants is. I would like us to live in the same city.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
For an extended period of time doing either the same show or two really good shows. Because one of us can't be in a bad musical and the other being in a bad. That's not fair. And then I want Wes to find the cutest restaurant that we go to every single night. And we have like the back booth. And then each night we have kind of a rotation of whether it's like hot, you know, dates or, you know, maybe like a special Patti LuPone kind of guest star situation. Just kind of. We always bring new people in after the shows.
Joe Lock
I like that. We should do that.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think so.
Joe Lock
Let's make it happen.
Dylan Mulvaney
Yeah. What? Let's talk. Speaking on bringing maybe a double date situation. What's your type and what's my type?
Joe Lock
I think we should describe each other's types. Okay, but be nice.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think your type is a little older, maybe a little taller, A little buffer.
Joe Lock
I like a man.
Dylan Mulvaney
You like a man. What do I like? Joe?
Joe Lock
You like a man too.
Dylan Mulvaney
We often.
Joe Lock
There's quite similar.
Dylan Mulvaney
There's some cross pollination happening in here.
Joe Lock
Not like.
Dylan Mulvaney
No.
Joe Lock
Have we. No, no, not yet.
Dylan Mulvaney
Never say never. I. I think maybe like the distinct difference between our types is like. Oh, I think I know what I like that you don't. Well, I like like a man with a really skinny.
Joe Lock
I'm gonna say a winner.
Dylan Mulvaney
I like a man with a wedding ring.
Joe Lock
Oh, my God.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's what we need, a controversial no. I like like a man that has really long, slender fingers that journals in the morning and kind of looks gaunt.
Joe Lock
I don't like that.
Dylan Mulvaney
Kind of sunken.
Joe Lock
Yeah. You don't want like a tortured kind.
Dylan Mulvaney
Of like a drummer.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
You don't like that?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay, see, that's. That's.

Dylan Mulvaney
Broadway or West End?
Joe Lock
Broadway.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay.
Joe Lock
There's just like. You know what it is? There's a culture to Broadway that like, I just think is really addictive. Like the West End has. But there's just nothing. There's just no. There's no comparison to Broadway. I don't know. These are very different things.
Dylan Mulvaney
We're gonna unpack what we just learned.
Joe Lock
Okay.
Dylan Mulvaney
I feel like West End is just more. Maybe the grass is always greener.
Joe Lock
I think that's what it is.
Dylan Mulvaney
But have you done West End yet?
Joe Lock
I did Donmar, which is like sort of West End, but sort of not. But I'd love to do a West End show.

We've gone to some. I. We went to Paris Hilton's birthday party the weekend, and I don't know if everyone can see this, but my knee is so up.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's, like, green and brown. It hasn't even hit the, like, bruise spot yet. It's just like. It's a giant.
Joe Lock
When we dive in the ball pit.
Dylan Mulvaney
I made you dive in the ball pit. I mean, there was. It was a. It kind of did feel like AI in the way that if you had typed in Paris Hilton's birthday party, that would have popped up as far as the collection of people in that room.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
And I had a good time.
Joe Lock
I had a great time, but.
Dylan Mulvaney
And that felt like that was like your first LA day. Technically.
Joe Lock
Yeah. And you took me to Paris Hilton's house.
Dylan Mulvaney
It was. It was a good place to take.
Joe Lock
You, but tonight we are.
Dylan Mulvaney
We're going to a Vanity Fair party.
Joe Lock
We are.
Dylan Mulvaney
And who are you wearing?
Joe Lock
I'm wearing Celine. Head to toe.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm changing into something slightly sluttier because this is. It's a good party to, like, potentially kiss someone. I saw some hotties last. You haven't been there yet.
Joe Lock
No, I haven't. Wow.
Dylan Mulvaney
You got something to look forward to. How is the. How do you usually approach a party as far as working the room?
Joe Lock
I'm not very good at it. I like. That's something that I want to get better at.
Dylan Mulvaney
Tonight's the night.
Joe Lock
Tonight's the night.
Dylan Mulvaney
How do I approach a room?
Joe Lock
You. I don't like. I think the room approaches you. Like.
Dylan Mulvaney
And if they don't, I will find the room.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
I kind of feel like I can tell if somebody's kind of walking the other way and I find them.
Joe Lock
I don't know how you do it.
Dylan Mulvaney
I don't let him go how do you feel about dancing in public?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, come on.
Joe Lock
No, but the difference is you can dance. I can't dance, so I look like a twat. And you.
Dylan Mulvaney
No, I've kind of seen you also. Is twat as bad of a word over there as it is here?
Joe Lock
I mean, yeah, but, like, you also, like, twat isn't a thing. Stop saying twat. Say twat.
Dylan Mulvaney
Twat, twat. Oh, we haven't taken you yet to, like, any of the gay bars in West Hollywood.
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
We need to do that eventually. You're going to the Academy Awards.
Joe Lock
I am.
Dylan Mulvaney
That's exciting.
Joe Lock
Exciting.
Dylan Mulvaney
We're going to Disneyland with Chris Colton.
Joe Lock
We are. I'm so excited for that.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm so excited. The Oscars are great, but I think that might be the highlight. And that was also because we were trying to figure out if we could go, and then I was like, would it be okay if I texted this guy Chris Colfer and Joe was okay with it?
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
I loved Glee. Did you love Glee?
Joe Lock
I was like a late to Glee. It was sort of, like, sort of before my time.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, my God.
Joe Lock
But, like, just. But like, just before my time.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, that's so painful. I was watching in real time. Did you, like, binge after the fact?
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Wow, that's crazy.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Who do you. Who did you feel the most connected to on that show?
Joe Lock
Sort of. None of them. It's a very American show. That's fair in a way that, like, if any of them were in a British school, they would have all just been bullied so much, they would never have wanted to be in the Glee Club in the first place.
Dylan Mulvaney
So true.
Joe Lock
Which is not good. That's not, like. That's not a positive.
Dylan Mulvaney
No. And anything else that you want to accomplish while you're in America?
Joe Lock
Um, I'd love to get a job.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. Like, tomorrow, like, this week?
Joe Lock
Like, yeah, that would be nice. It won't happen, but, like, that would.
Dylan Mulvaney
Be nice that actually it could happen.
Joe Lock
We never know.
Dylan Mulvaney
You never know. It's the city of dreams.
Joe Lock
City of dreams.
Dylan Mulvaney
Did you watch La La Land?
Joe Lock
No, I didn't. I've still never watched it.
Dylan Mulvaney
What do you want me to watch that? I haven't seen the Goonies. I never saw that. That's bad.
Joe Lock
That, like, I think genuinely has driven away to our friendship.
Dylan Mulvaney
If there was anything, it's this podcast and the Goonies.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
How about. Oh, okay. So we're going to this tonight. You're going back to London. I might eventually come stay with you.
Joe Lock
Please.
Dylan Mulvaney
Very Soon I'm coming to the west end and. And then Greece. What? Greece island should we go to?
Joe Lock
I love Santorini. It's my favorite place in the world.
Dylan Mulvaney
Where have you been? How many times?
Joe Lock
I've only been once, but I loved it.
Dylan Mulvaney
Is that where Mamma Mia. Set?
Joe Lock
No, I don't think so. But they're all the same. They all give us the same.
Dylan Mulvaney
Do you wear Speedo or. A little.
Joe Lock
I'm not a speedo guy.
Dylan Mulvaney
Why?
Joe Lock
Well, I'm trying to get my ass bigger this year, so maybe this year is the year that I wore a Speedo.
Dylan Mulvaney
Do squats?
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
Do you go to workout classes like Barry's?
Joe Lock
I've started doing personal training.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mmm.
Joe Lock
I know, it's really fun.
Dylan Mulvaney
What's the personal trainer's deal?
Joe Lock
His name's Tom. He's really great. Straight or gay? He's a queen.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay.
Joe Lock
Yeah, we. You know what it is? I have always been so scared of the gym because I've always felt like I would be judged in that space. And it's the first time I, like, have been enjoying it. And, yeah, it's been fun.
Dylan Mulvaney
And then. So as you're getting your ass a little fatter and your muscles a little stronger, what is your hope to mature into roles in the industry? What do you want those to be?
Joe Lock
I want to play a really macho straight man in an action film.
Dylan Mulvaney
Mmm. Like James Bond?
Joe Lock
No, not James Bond.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh.
Joe Lock
I got caught at.
Dylan Mulvaney
Absolutely not.
Joe Lock
I got caught at saying I wanted to play James Bond by someone. An unnamed.
Dylan Mulvaney
Report.
Joe Lock
And it really annoyed me because I was like, you put those words in my mouth. I never said that. You said, would you like to play games with us? And I said, whatever, sure.
Dylan Mulvaney
Like, I didn't say that like that.
Joe Lock
And they kept me like Joe Logs. I was like, no, I didn't say that.
Dylan Mulvaney
So you want to be playing like, you want Jet ski fire behind you? Just.
Joe Lock
I want, like, yeah, God forbid. No Speedos. Well, hey, my dream would be to get paid a shit ton of money and still get really ripped.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, like they pay for you to get ripped. Oh.
Joe Lock
Because I just can't be bothered to organize at all.
Dylan Mulvaney
I want to get paid to lay in bed.
Joe Lock
I don't want that.
Dylan Mulvaney
You don't. You aren't really. You don't love a bed as much as I do.
Joe Lock
I don't. Like, I can't. Like, in the. I know you're the first person, but I can't sit still.
Dylan Mulvaney
You're the first person to ever use my living room. I don't. I've never sat on my couch. My life. I'm sitting. This is the first time I ever sat on couch. Put me to bed.
Joe Lock
Yeah. I walked in last night, I went for dinner and I came home and I walked in and I was like, dylan, where are you? And Dylan is buck naked in bed, tits out. Tits out. Hair. And she's like, to the ceiling.
Dylan Mulvaney
Always. Can never get the hair out. It's all the fake hair. Yeah. I think that you've gotten a bit of a peer into what my life really is here.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
And now I think we have a very special segment. We've got Last Call Confessions. We're going to be hearing a call from one of our lovely followers of the pod, and we're going to give a little advice. Are you ready?
Joe Lock
I'm ready.
Dylan Mulvaney
Hello, honey.
Joe Lock
Hi, Dylan.
Dylan Mulvaney
I was just wondering, like, how do.
Joe Lock
I feel confident about myself? Like, if I want to do something and, like, go out there and, like, feel confidence?
Dylan Mulvaney
Like, how do you do that?
Joe Lock
Because overall, I don't feel confident on myself anymore. I'm trying to, but just not working out.
Dylan Mulvaney
And I just wanted, like, advice from you, if that's okay. Thank you so much.
Joe Lock
Bye.
Dylan Mulvaney
Bye. Oh, I love our new friend.
Joe Lock
I know. Do we get their name?
Dylan Mulvaney
I don't think they shared their name, but that's good. Sir. Our new friend.
Joe Lock
Our new friend.
Dylan Mulvaney
Confidence. You said we were talking about confidence yesterday.
Joe Lock
Yeah. In bed.
Dylan Mulvaney
What did we say?
Joe Lock
I was talking about how I. I can't remember any.
Dylan Mulvaney
I'm scared. I don't remember anything, which is good because I can't remember all the horrible things that happened to me. But then we have a good conversation, like, confidence, and I can't remember that. Well, Refresh.
Joe Lock
Dory.
Dylan Mulvaney
Nemo. Wait, Marvin. Is that what their names are?
Joe Lock
Marvin.
Dylan Mulvaney
Marlon. Okay. Give us the confidence, girlfriend.
Joe Lock
I was saying last night about how I want to be able to, like, go up and talk to people if we're out and have the confidence to. I am so scared sometimes of looking like a twat and making, like, a fool of myself that I don't put myself in those situations that, like, good things can come from friendships and whatever. Whereas you are very good at that.
Dylan Mulvaney
What did I say to do?
Joe Lock
I don't remember.
Dylan Mulvaney
Oh, same. So I think. But to our friend. Let's start fresh.
Joe Lock
So I'm saying I. Oh, this is so.
Dylan Mulvaney
It's actually. You're the caller.
Joe Lock
I'm the caller.
Dylan Mulvaney
You put on. You did have slightly different voice yesterday while sitting. So maybe that Was you. I think that I've always kind of erred on the side of, like, cringe is kind of iconic. So, like, if you're ever trying to be cool, I think that that's not a great way to meet people because you're not showing up as your authentic self. I think that. Well, like, when I think about you, you're such a lovely, funny human that everybody needs to know, if they don't already. And I bet this person's the same way. I bet that our friend is, like, the loveliest. And also just. I'm so grateful for your call, but I think that better to, like, put yourself out there and try, and then, I mean, you might see someone's true colors. If. If you are to try to be friends with someone and they don't want to be, then they don't deserve you. But a lot of the times, it usually works out.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
In our case, it did.
Joe Lock
It did.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think, honestly, a really good outfit is, like, kind of surfaces that might sound. When I feel cute, I feel like I can take on anything. And a lot of the times, like, I can almost, like, convince myself that I feel a lot more confident than I am if I look presentable and, like, it's like, my armor, in a way. Everyone, I've had the best time with my dear friend Jo Jo, do you have anything else to add?
Joe Lock
I have to add that. No, I have nothing to add.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay. Would you ever host a podcast?
Joe Lock
I would if I. But I don't think I'd have a career if I did.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think give it some time. Maybe it'll always. It will happen.
Joe Lock
I used to have a career. And you. You put a podcast.
Dylan Mulvaney
Well, for. This is the first episode, so only time will tell, Right? And if you've enjoyed this episode, please go check out us on YouTube. Anywhere you subscribe to podcasts. I was gonna say, Joe, where can they find you? But they probably already have.
Joe Lock
Find me wherever you want me.
Dylan Mulvaney
Do you want to be found?
Joe Lock
Loaded question there, Dylan.
Dylan Mulvaney
I think most people would want you to be on social media more.
Joe Lock
Yeah, I think that's probably why I'm not.
Dylan Mulvaney
Have you ever done, like, a talking to the camera video?
Joe Lock
No.
Dylan Mulvaney
Why not?
Joe Lock
It's just not for me, is it?
Dylan Mulvaney
No. But maybe that's why we work.
Joe Lock
Yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney
But when I do it, are you, like.
Joe Lock
No. Cause you're so good at it. I would be so bad at it.
Dylan Mulvaney
Okay.
Joe Lock
I think, you know, like, I enjoy, like, the mystery of me. I think people think they know me really well, but actually don't know me at all.
Dylan Mulvaney
Maybe on my birthday there's gonna be the Joe Hour and it's gonna be where you're talking to the camera.
Joe Lock
Uh huh.
Dylan Mulvaney
I don't share anything at all. You just, you take it. That's December 29th. But then we do seven months after, like right now.
Joe Lock
Okay.
Dylan Mulvaney
Does that make sense? No, not really.
Joe Lock
But we can.
Dylan Mulvaney
Most of this didn't.
Joe Lock
Most of our friendship doesn't make sense.
Dylan Mulvaney
No.
Joe Lock
Me and Dylan will often talk in like incomplete sentences.
Dylan Mulvaney
Can you tell? All right, well, I love you all. Happy birthday if it's your birthday. And if not, it could still be seven months later. And. Okay, we love ya.
Joe Lock
Love ya. Bye.

This message is brought to you by Cologuard, a non invasive colon cancer screening test. Did you know that colon cancer is considered the most preventable yet least prevented cancer when caught at early stages? Colon cancer is survivable in 90% of people, so screening and early detection are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. And a convenient way to do that is with the Cologuard test. The Cologuard test is delivered to your door and allows you to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening and do it on your own schedule with none of the prep that is required of a colonoscopy. Plus, the Cologuard test is affordable. Most insured patients pay $0 and if a follow up colonoscopy is needed, this is covered by most insurance plans. So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard test. You can also request a Cologuard prescription today@cologuard.com podcast. The Cologuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use a Cologuard test if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndrome, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high risk patients. Cologuard test performance in adults aged 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. False positives and false negatives can occur. Cologuard is available by prescription only. Want more from your favorite Lemonada Media podcast? While supporting the shows that help make life suck less, subscribe to Lemonada Premium today.
