---

1. Introduction to the Episode

The episode kicks off with Kendahl expressing her nervousness about reading hate comments live for the first time:

[00:55] Kendahl Landrin: "I'm a little nervous. I don't know what any of these are."

Jordan attempts to lighten the mood by reassuring Kendahl and the audience about the nature of their fans:

[01:08] Jordan Myrick: "What bothers me about this comment is that, first of all, it's not talking about what we're talking about. If someone said, 'I'm shy, how do I meet people?' there's lots of answers."

---

2. Addressing Personal Insecurities and Anxiety

The hosts delve into their personal insecurities, particularly focusing on intelligence and anxiety. Kendahl shares her fears of being perceived as unintelligent based on past criticisms:

[01:59] Kendahl Landrin: "I can be insecure about my intelligence, so I think I worry. I have seen comments on, like, my other podcasts where people are like, 'She's so dumb.'"

In contrast, Jordan maintains a more resilient stance regarding criticisms:

[02:28] Jordan Myrick: "Nothing could make me upset at this point."

3. Reading and Responding to Hate Comments

The core of the episode revolves around reading and addressing hate comments from platforms like Spotify and YouTube.

a. Shyness and Dating Women

A significant portion of the discussion centers on a Spotify comment criticizing their take on shyness related to dating women. Jordan defends their perspective by emphasizing that shyness should not be equated with fear or abnormality:

[05:00] Jordan Myrick: "If you're shy, say I'm shy. Women aren't scary. If you feel scared by women, something's going on with you."

Kendahl adds her thoughts on conflict avoidance and personal growth:

[10:19] Kendahl Landrin: "I think it's conflict avoidance. Being mad at me saying that is equating people who act like women aren't normal... that's as much an attack on their identity as it is on us."

b. Conflict Avoidance vs. People Pleasing

The hosts explore the nuances between being conflict avoidant and people-pleasing, discussing how these traits affect relationships and personal well-being.

[12:40] Jordan Myrick: "Most people are conflict avoidant. Most people don't want to have conflict."

[13:05] Kendahl Landrin: "If you're letting your anxiety get the best of you, and you're putting down your feelings, that's not people pleasing. That's conflict avoidance."

c. Lesbians and Sexual Identity Policing

A recurring theme is the policing of lesbian identities within the LGBTQ+ community, where comments question the authenticity of one's sexuality based on personal preferences or attractions.

[24:43] Kendahl Landrin: "If you've been with men before, you can't be a lesbian? That's so bizarre."

[32:05] Jordan Myrick: "Lesbians just don't meet the right men. It's so unfair and invalidating."

---

4. Coping with Grief Through Humor

A poignant segment addresses the passing of Kendahl's father. The hosts use humor to cope with their grief, discussing where to place her father's urn amidst their collection of tchotchkes.

[53:20] Kendall Landrin: "I would put him on the center of our console... underneath our TV. It felt like he was watching us have sex."

Jordan shares their internal joke about not wanting to move his Furby:

[54:02] Jordan Myrick: "Don't fucking move my Furby. The Furby doesn't move."

This humorous yet heartfelt discussion highlights their mutual support and coping mechanisms in dealing with loss.

---

5. Community and Online Interaction

Kendahl and Jordan discuss the impact of online negativity and the importance of maintaining a supportive community. They address the difference between real-life interactions and online behavior, emphasizing that most people are supportive and kind in person.

[21:58] Jordan Myrick: "There's so much internalized misogyny in the way people deal with us on the Internet."

Kendahl reassures listeners about the authenticity of their relationships and the importance of fostering positive interactions:

[24:50] Jordan Myrick: "That's wild that you're scared of the haters. I think the people listening to this love our podcast and love us."

---

6. Encouraging Positive Engagement

Towards the end of the episode, Kendahl and Jordan encourage listeners to leave positive comments and support their podcast. They acknowledge that responding to hate comments can be cathartic and stress the importance of community support.

[57:25] Kendall Landrin: "Criticism is not what we have a problem with. I have about 80 comments to prove."

[58:07] Jordan Myrick: "We love you. Thank you so much for watching the podcast. You're wonderful."

Transcript

[Jordan Myrick]

What if there were a medicine that could heal almost anything? That would be great, but they didn't want you to know about it. Sorry, who's they? Some people are following me and I brought my tortoise.

[Kendall Landrin]

From executive producers Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and co creators Joe Bennett and Steve Healy comes an animated comedy thriller about what it takes to change the world. Common side effects.

[Jordan Myrick]

Series premieres with back to back episodes.

[Kendall Landrin]

February 2nd at 11:30pm on Adult Swim. Next day on Max. Welcome to Happy Wife, Happy Life. We're your hosts. I'm Kendall Landrin.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I'm Jordan Myrick.

[Kendall Landrin]

And we are two incredibly unqualified but.

[Jordan Myrick]

Deeply in love comedians who are here to help you with all things relationships. And today we are reading complaints and hate comments and telling you why you're wrong. Are you nervous?

[Kendall Landrin]

I'm a little nervous. I don't know what any of these are.

[Jordan Myrick]

Listen, I don't read.

[Kendall Landrin]

This is a true blind react because I do not read comments. I don't read. I don't read them.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I think that's great. I try not to read them, but I read a bunch for this episode and I want to say, in general, our fans are lovely, delicious, beautiful, perfect. But sometimes you got people creeping in, leaving complaints and comments, and just generally being wrong.

[Kendall Landrin]

I feel scared because, I don't know, in my head I'm like, I don't think about positive or negative comments, but ever so often, like, our roommate Charles will be like, oh, Kendall, did you this comment? Someone was like, kendall sewed this. And I'm like, oh, my God. I've never thought about that about myself before. And it really hits me like a ton of bricks because I don't read the comments.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's all gotta be water off a duck's back, as they say. I know you just have to ignore it.

[Kendall Landrin]

So I'm nervous, but I'm excited.

[Jordan Myrick]

Today we're addressing it.

[Kendall Landrin]

We're getting into it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Do you have a thing that you're scared of being called out for something that you feel like you know people are gonna bring up?

[Kendall Landrin]

I think I, like, I can be insecure about my intelligence, so I think I worry. I have seen comments on, like, my other podcasts where people are like, she's. She's stupid. Why is she talking? She's so dumb. I'm like, why are you listening to a podcast of someone who's dumb that's on you sure I'm not dumb. I don't think that. But I do get. I think I get easily like, oh, My God, am I. So that's something I'm nervous about. What about you? What would be, like, the thing that would make you upset the most?

[Jordan Myrick]

Nothing could make me upset at this point. It couldn't. It couldn't.

[Kendall Landrin]

Okay, before we get into it, how was your week?

[Jordan Myrick]

It was fine. We had a beautiful dinner party at our friend Aaron's house.

[Kendall Landrin]

Oh, and wasn't that just nice?

[Jordan Myrick]

And our friend Kelsey did our tarot cards, which I've never had done before.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yours was so spot on.

[Jordan Myrick]

You know, that kind of stuff makes you believe mine was 100% spot on. No questions about it. Write about me, right about where I'm at in my life, right about what the future seems like it's gonna hold. It just really was, like, spot on.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, and it. It really was advice we'd already been talking about too. We'd been like, this is kind of what you need to do, Jord. And then just to, like, reiterate it, that's why I like stuff like tarot. I think when people like, is it real or is it not real? I'm like, there's nothing not real about saying, this is a thing that maybe you should think about and then thinking about it, which is what I like about tarot. It's like, with tarot, you're not. And I don't read tarot cards. But it's like, you're not saying, this is what's gonna happen. It's not fortune telling. It's saying, this is a thing to keep out for. And usually the thing is, like, make sure you're giving yourself enough time. Make sure you're allowing yourself to voice what you think. You know what I mean? It's like, that's always good stuff to be thinking about. So I feel like it's such a nice reflection. Like, I know some people pull a tarot card every day. And I'm like, yeah, just to give yourself any time where you're just sitting and thinking about yourself, your life, how you're like. I mean, that's why I used to. I need to get back into it. I used to journal every day, every day, without fail. And it's amazing because now I have a journal that starts the day I left, the day I graduated high school. It starts and it ends when I'm, like, 21, and I wrote in it almost every single day. And going back and reading that stuff is just so nuts. I mean, I still have in my journal, the first flower you ever gave me is taped and dried into my journal. And, like, When I started dating you and being like, that's so cute. Did you know that?

[Jordan Myrick]

I think I did, but it's just so cute when I think about it.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah, I still have that. And I, like, I literally wrote in my journal, being like, I'm about to go on a first date with Jordan. It's just so fun to look back on. But more than anything, because sometimes I feel like, what am I even doing? I'm not even reflecting. I'm just explaining what my day was. But giving yourself any moment to yourself to, like, think about your life is nice.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I agree. All right, I'm foaming at the mouth to respond to these comments.

[Kendall Landrin]

You look like you're geared up to fight. Here's what I'll say about Jordan. Anyone? Jordan could win, I think, any fight.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's so sweet.

[Kendall Landrin]

You're my big, strong guy.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love you.

[Kendall Landrin]

It made me blush.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know.

[Kendall Landrin]

Okay, go for it.

[Jordan Myrick]

All right, so this first complaint is a Spotify comment from our Q and gay with Lauren and Alyssa that we did recently. And this is in response to the fact that we were talking about how people being like, girls are scary. I'm scared to date girls because they're scary is like a weird take that people need to stop having. This person said, I'd really love an answer to the I'm shy. Any tips for flirting that isn't you're not ready? Or women deserve more than that. And equating being shy to being a weird freak, not cool, and even more disappointing from this group. What bothers me about this comment is that, first of all, it's not talking about what we're talking about. If someone said, I'm shy, how do I meet people? There's lots of answers. We've answered that so many times on this podcast, and I'll answer it a hundred thousand more times. Yeah, what is frustrating is people saying women are scary. I'm like, you are 30 years old.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, yeah, if you're shy, you're shy. You're not shy towards a group of people.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, if you're shy, you don't inherently think women are scary. And my point was that if you feel anxiety around dating women, that's totally normal and makes sense, especially if you haven't done it a lot. But much like any new activity in your life, a new friendship, a new job. I would not walk into a new job on my first day and have a boss go, how are you? And I go, new jobs are scary. That would be if I was your boss. I think that was hot because you think I'm hot. So that's its own thing, but do you know what I mean? Like, that would be such a wild way to behave. It's putting a lot of your anxieties on someone else who does not know you instead of you dealing with those anxieties. And also, once again, if you're shy, say I'm shy. Women aren't scary. If you feel scared by women, something's going on with you and you need to, like, feel that out within yourself. Maybe that means you're shy. Maybe that means you are scared generally around new experiences. Maybe you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself not to mess up up.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you don't need to put that pressure on yourself. You can take that pressure away. But being mad at me saying that I'm equating being shy to being a weird freak. No, I'm equating people who act like women aren't normal. People who act like dating a woman is so different than dating a man. Acting like women have this different thing that makes them unapproachable and scary. I'm like, I don't like that behavior.

[Kendall Landrin]

And here's what I'll say. I think, you know, listen, I. I've been on and I say, I don't read comments. I don't read comments. Now. That was not always the case. I have another podcast, the BCC Club, where that was my first podcast ever did. And I read all the comments and talk about traumatized. I. Because I would watch the way people would respond in the most black and white way that I found so alarming. But I also think, and I see this on TikTok too, someone might be, like, called out for something. And I'm not saying that's this person, but they'll be called out for something where I would be like, if you do this, you seem kind of like an asshole. And then someone's like, wait, I do that? Fuck you. It's like, yeah, I sometimes listen to something and I'll hear someone say, I hate when someone does this. I find it irritating. First of all, I can take it or leave it. That person can have an opinion. They're putting it on the Internet, and I can take it or leave it. But if I'm like, oh, I never really thought about that. I do that. Maybe I can have some thought. Maybe I can think about that in my own body. But I think sometimes there is this. Like, if there's anything someone says, we've gotten so comfortable with being like, I Am this thing. So now I don't have to work on this thing. If you are so shy that you can't date, but you also want to find love to the point where you're writing into a podcast being like, please give me advice. You need to take advice and try to grow. Yeah, you don't need to reach your maximum potential before you're ready to find love. But something clearly has to change. And I think people just get so black and white. Where any acknowledgement of ways you could grow is an attack on you, 100% is an attack on the fact that you're saying things like that you're a weird freak. I can go watch the clip. I don't. I don't know. I don't want to. I don't. Not for sure. But I have a hard time believing we said anyone was a weird freak.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know for a fact we did not say, if you're shy, you're a weird freak.

[Kendall Landrin]

And they say weird freak on here.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. We might have said weird freak. We might have said, if you keep being like, women are scary, you're a weird freak.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, if you do that voice to anyone, that's not.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I'm like, if it's not me.

[Kendall Landrin]

Doing it to Jordan, it's weird.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I'm like, if you say I'm shy, no one thinks you're a weird freak. But if you are so shy that it's keeping you from dating and you want to be dating, you might need to work on the way in which you are shy. If you don't want to work on the way in which you're shy, that's okay. Dating might not be as easy.

[Kendall Landrin]

May not be as easy, not impossible. But also, we're just trying to give advice on here. Imagine if we just said, well, see what happens, buddy. We wouldn't be getting any views. We wouldn't be getting any comments on Spotify. Speaking of that, thank you so much for your comment on Spotify.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, it really helps us leave a comment.

[Kendall Landrin]

It really helps us out, and we don't want to discriminate.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, it could be a hate comment. Just please leave a comment.

[Kendall Landrin]

We do. I mean, and I get a notification that's like, you got a comment on Spotify? And it's like, I hate Kendall. She's the worst. I still get a little smile to my face.

[Jordan Myrick]

True. Because it's a little money in our pockets. This is another comment from the same episode, and this person said petition to just start calling it conflict avoidant and not people Pleasing. I don't think this is a hate comment. I just wanted to talk about this. I just want to talk about your thoughts on this.

[Kendall Landrin]

Wait. People pleasing, conflict avoidance. Now we were talking about this this morning. I identify as a lesbian. That's what I was gonna say but I was like what am I talking about again? I know I look I in when I go to therapy. I don't think I ever say and you said this this morning when I was feeling like am I annoying loser for calling myself a people pleaser. I don't really call myself a people pleaser anyone. My therapist. I innately have a really tough time being scared. People are mad at me and I have a very tough time when plans are being made and things are being done and I feel like I want to voice something I want but I know it might upset someone or it might not upset someone and I call that people pleasing. However, I am very aware it's not pleasing to anyone. I as I'm doing it I'm like this is unhelpful. It's not helping anyone. It's not kind on my part. And that's where I think sometimes things can I think to me it is conflict avoidance. I 100% think that's what it is because I'm not trying to make anyone feel better. It is all self serving. It would be so much easier to be like this is what I want. The person would be like, great. It usually is not things where it's going to upset someone. It is me in my own comfort zone not wanting to. For some reason from my growing up I couldn't even tell you what it is I, I feel scared to voice what I want. Even though my God mostly I would say everything I want. But something in there happened where I feel scared to voice something I need to certain people and that negatively affects my life and it negatively affects other people's lives who are important to me. So I think it's totally conflict avoidant. But I think people pleasing is like it also makes sense that wording. I think where you get into a problem is when people are like I'm a people pleaser. I'm just so sweet. I'm so nice. I'm like, that's a different thing then because if you're nice but it's at the it's just because you don't want to share your feelings. That's not people pleasing.

[Jordan Myrick]

I also sometimes don't like conflict avoidant because I feel like people are using it as a thing to be like I'M conflict avoidant. As if it's like a medical condition. But sometimes I'm like, most people are conflict avoidant.

[Kendall Landrin]

Not you. You're the only person I've ever met. You're confident you're seeking out conflict.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love conflict. No, but I think, like in we're. We're teasing, but I think in reality, like, I'm conflict avoidant.

[Kendall Landrin]

Sure.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't. I would love to avoid conflict. I have. What Kendall's referring to as is no issue having conflict.

[Kendall Landrin]

And in fight or flight, I am flight. You or fight.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. And, you know, say what you will about that, whatever, but I think sometimes this idea of people being like, well, I'm conflict avoidant, so, whoops, I can't help anything. I'm kind of like, most people are conflict avoidant. Most people don't want to have conflict. I think there's a lot of people that we should start calling like, little bitches conversation or like, disagreement, refusal or something.

[Kendall Landrin]

Because doesn't really roll off the tongue.

[Jordan Myrick]

Doesn't roll off the tongue. But I think there is this thing of being like, you are not conflict avoidant. You refuse to do anything that feels difficult or scary or maybe not 100% pleasant. And I find that frustrating.

[Kendall Landrin]

But I also think people will meet with. When I have read comments, people will meet stuff like that being like, well, I do that because X, Y, Z story from their childhood doesn't matter. Yeah, 100%.

[Jordan Myrick]

Everything we all do is stories from our childhood. 100.

[Kendall Landrin]

And no one's an evil demon. No one said that like you. And that's why it just gets. It's like. And because you. There's a lot of things I do because of things that are from my childhood. I'm not like. And I shall relish in them for.

[Jordan Myrick]

The rest of my life to work on them. I have such bad generalized anxiety disorder that if I left it untherapized, unmedicated, I would dig a hole in the ground and lie down in it for the rest of my life. It's not healthy. It's not good for our relationship. It's not good for my career. It's not good for my friendships. It's not good. But when you work on it, and my generalized anxiety disorder is hereditary, I.

[Kendall Landrin]

Will say, but you can cut this out if you want. Jordan may have the worst anxiety I've ever seen.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, there are people that have worse anxiety than me.

[Kendall Landrin]

No, I'm sorry. I'm not even saying that in a rude way. I just mean I think words get thrown around a lot. You have very generalized. Truly, it runs in your family, but also affects your day to day. It's not like, oh, you have a panic. I didn't mean to say you obviously don't have the worst anxiety.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I mean, yeah, because I understand there are people who can't leave their house because of their anxiety, which I don't have.

[Kendall Landrin]

Have I just to say that, like, it is something you do have to work through every moment of every single day.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I struggle with obsessive compulsive thoughts that are very, like, hard and scary. And so I. I understand having mental health stuff. I understand having things in your life that feel hard or being like, well, yes, I'm this way, but it's because of this thing. And I'm like, I totally get that. And I don't think anyone's discounting that. But if you're a certain way because of a bad thing that happened to you and you're letting that thing treat other people poorly, like Kendall said, you're not a villain, but maybe it's something you should and could work on, depending on what it is.

[Kendall Landrin]

It's the difference between. There's times where you're. If you're letting your anxiety kind of get the best of you. And I can go, hey, this is what I'm seeing happening versus if I was like, why are you acting that way? It's like, I'm not saying that because I know why you're acting that way.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

I'm not like, are you acting that way because you're dumb and bad? Like, that would be so mean.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't think that most people are doing stuff out of nowhere.

[Kendall Landrin]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Do you know what I mean? Like, when someone acts out, I'm not like, whoa, wild. That they did that for no reason. Like, most things people do are reasons from their childhood.

[Kendall Landrin]

But I think, you know, I have really severe germaphobia.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

That I don't know if I talked about in here, but I have a really. I mean, growing up, I had my own plates. I've owned silverware. Someone would, like, burp at the table, and I would have a full blown panic attack until, guess what? It still happens. Actually, it never ended. I still have panic attacks. Sometimes when people burp, I freak out. I don't like eating with people, but I am an adult who wants to be able to share meals with people. And some days it's worse, and some days, whatever. And I do have little things with you where I explain, like, where you're there for me at. If we're at a buffet with a bunch of people and Jordan, make sure makes sure I am, like, served first, which is very thoughtful and kind of you. I don't even think that. I don't think it's your job, but you're just being sweetie cute.

[Jordan Myrick]

I handle it.

[Kendall Landrin]

But at the same time, there's so many times I purposefully do stuff to push myself, and sometimes it ends in me needing to go take some breaths in the bathroom. Like I've had at restaurants where I'm like, I'm gonna purposely share. Did it the other night. I was like, I'm gonna purposely share food with this person that I don't even really know that well. I feel like I could throw up. But I'm going to push myself to do it. I. I'm feeling good. My life's good right now. I feel okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

And you did awesome, and I did awesome.

[Kendall Landrin]

And how awesome was that? But. And you don't have to. I'm not saying if you're scared of something, you need to push yourself to the absolute max. But I think just sometimes, you know, it's like, nobody's saying you're bad. No one's confused as why you feel that way. When someone says, like, I mean, kind of. Back to the last question. Oh, I'm shy. Starting to date women. I'm not like, because you're a narcissist. Like, I don't think that.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

You know, and to, you know, give credit to people like that, I think there are a lot of people nowadays who are like that, which is on them. But I think it's just like, you can improve and you can work and you can. All of those things can be true. And, you know, when you're on a podcast, this is. Thanks for letting us revel in these hate comments. Because the reality is, like, that's part of being on the Internet, but also it's hard sometimes to have a full conversation and watch people take. Respond in such a black and white way.

[Jordan Myrick]

I gotta respond to some of these.

[Kendall Landrin]

That wasn't even. Also, that wasn't even a hate comment. That was. I agree.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, that was just something I just want to think about. I love. Okay. In our episode with Charles, somebody said, Jordan is kind of mean.

[Kendall Landrin]

You get this one a lot, huh?

[Jordan Myrick]

And to that I'll say, I probably would be mean to you. Sorry. I'll say it.

[Kendall Landrin]

You know what I'm gonna say.

[Jordan Myrick]

Say it.

[Kendall Landrin]

This would not be a conversation if you were a man. And I'm not Even a person to always come in with that. Yes, but Jordan is. Puts a period at the end of their sentence and that people take as mean. I will not. And we joke with each other. Sure. And if you don't see that Jordan and I joke with each other, this podcast probably isn't for you. Yes, but we joke with each other. But even aside from that, I'll see clips where you're doing something totally normal, but you just say it normally. And the hate you receive is so interesting to me. I find that the things I want to work on in my life are things that benefit me on the Internet by either pick me, women or men who find me to be sweet, nice, you know, unassuming, palatable. Palatable. And it's things that I want to change. It's things I go to every week and I work on in therapy. I never fully follow through. If I have an opinion that people have a differing opinion, I'm easily swayed. I put question marks at the end of stuff that don't need. I let my sentences trail off and go, I don't know. That doesn't even make sense. And I'm rewarded for that on the Internet because I'm a woman. And so I just feel like that is very frustrating for me to watch for you. And it's also funny because I would say to the two of us, like, you are the sweetest person. Really. I feel like Jordan. It's just so funny because when we're at home, I feel like those are comments we get a lot where it's like, Jordan is so rude. And it's like, literally, I feel like I'm treated like a princess.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's very sweet. That's why I brought this one up, so Kendall could just say nice things about me. But, well, I hesitate to say it.

[Kendall Landrin]

In the past because I'm like, you know how I feel about this.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, Kendall. When Kendall sees comments like that, Kendall normally just deletes them or doesn't acknowledge them, because Kendall's like, these people want you to feed into this, and it's stupid, and they don't know what they're talking about. So I'm not going to acknowledge it.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah. But I got a sticker for. Got a stick up for my baby Boo.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank you, baby.

[Kendall Landrin]

Sometimes I remember this isn't just audio. No, this isn't just video.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

And sometimes I'll say something. I'll do kind of a funny face, but then I remember audio people are just hearing me say, it's just doing the voice, which is Embarrassing.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I think it's fun.

[Kendall Landrin]

So just remember I'm doing, like, kind of like a funny face that makes it feel ironic. Yeah, okay, go ahead. Sorry.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, everyone got that, I'm sure. But that's what I said at the beginning. I'm like, if you're leaving comments, being like, jordan is mean, you probably do think I mean. And you probably would think I was mean if you interacted with me in real life. I'm not mean. And if you perceive me as mean, then that's something going on with you that's not about me because I'm not mean. So I'm kind of just like. I don't know what to tell you. I think a lot of people don't like my tone. I think a lot of people don't like the way I look. I think a lot of people don't like the fact that I'm gay. And that's your business. And I think there's a lot of people that don't even realize that. I think there is so much internalized misogyny.

[Kendall Landrin]

Oh, people.

[Jordan Myrick]

In the way that people deal with me on the Internet.

[Kendall Landrin]

I mean, thank God it's not even as much on our pod. I mean, our podcast viewers are absolutely amazing. We've also purposely like you.

[Jordan Myrick]

You try to hone an audience and.

[Kendall Landrin]

You know, but there's stuff where I see comments, you know, when your stuff gets pushed out to the wider group of people, and I see so much stuff that'll be like, I just don't like. Name random woman. And I just don't know why. Well, what is it about this woman that I don't like?

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Marge Simpson impression. That was an incredible Marge Simpson impress. Play it back. I've never heard you do that before.

[Kendall Landrin]

I can do a pretty good. I can. Pretty good. Yeah. I can do a pretty good Marge Simpson.

[Jordan Myrick]

Did you know that before? Just now?

[Kendall Landrin]

I did know that because I. But you know what's funny? I don't watch the Simpsons, so I think I've done that voice before and been like, that sounds like Marge Simpson.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I've never heard that. That was really good.

[Kendall Landrin]

Anyways, Anyway.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, Anyway. Sorry. Whatever. Should you stop podcasting on?

[Kendall Landrin]

I go on a murder.

[Jordan Myrick]

Scout out. Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

No. People are like, I don't know why. They don't even know why. And it's like, it's because it's a woman. That's literally why.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'll see comments of people being like, jordan reminds me of my ex girlfriend who was such a. And da, da. What And I'm like, you're a freak. Like, I'm just a random ass person on the Internet who you don't know at all. And I think a big thing to remember is that Kendall and I are comedians. And I try to say this a lot, but it's like, yeah, I don't know if your boyfriend of four months said something to you that Kendall and I say to each other, and you wouldn't like it if your boyfriend said that to you. That's totally your business. It's not the same. Kendall and I being two adult married comedians who have been together forever, who do comedy as a living on a podcast talking to each other is, like, not the same thing as, like, a random person in your life talking to you.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, it's also performance. I think that's a too. It's like, I think we're very authentic and very much ourselves. We don't come into this podcast going, okay, now let's turn it on. But at the same time, like, I'm not. I would be uncomfortable if you were, like, sweet to me in the way you were at home, because I don't want people to see that. Yes, I'm much more comfortable with you calling me an idiot, which I've never done. But even if you did, I would be like, yeah, that's when we're on a podcast. But if you started doing a baby voice to me and being like, no, seriously, you're so pretty, I would be like, okay, please.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, it's, like, weird. That's not what this is. That's not what comedy is like.

[Kendall Landrin]

Is this fun for our viewers or people feeling yelled at? This is really.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, because most of this is not our viewers. Most of this is, like, weirdos that leave one comment, but I have to address them.

[Kendall Landrin]

You know, I'm obsessed with that. I just. I just want to remind everyone that we see. You know what?

[Jordan Myrick]

You're doing it right now.

[Kendall Landrin]

Doing the people pleasing.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're trying to people please the phone haters. Oh, I thought our followers that we.

[Kendall Landrin]

I'm even scared of the haters.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's wild that you're scared of the haters. I think the people listening to this love our podcast and love us and.

[Kendall Landrin]

And maybe just to quell my anxieties, maybe comment down below right now.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Give Kimmel a compliment in the comments. People liked the hate comment episode. That's why we're doing this.

[Kendall Landrin]

I know.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, but you know what?

[Kendall Landrin]

It's freeing and it's fun, and you know what? I'm Going into the new year. And we've talked about this a lot for many different political reasons and other reasons and just the way we've been. Things we've been talking about. I'm just like, I don't care. I don't care. I. I am. You know, I get one life and I'm just gonna say what I think. And if I ever say something that is not good and I look back and I think on it and I go, okay, that I don't. I was. I was wrong to say that. I can speak on that and apologize. But why am I. I mean, I felt like, especially a couple years ago, it was just like anytime I spoke into a podcast mic, I was doing brain backflips. Being like. And to be clear, I don't mean this.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow.

[Kendall Landrin]

And I don't mean this, but I don't want to try to mean. I don't wanna say this.

[Jordan Myrick]

This brings us to the elephant in the room. Or should I say what? The ARFID in the room.

[Kendall Landrin]

Oh, boy. I'm scared for how fired up Jordan's gonna get about that.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I'm not fired up because, listen, I completely understand that people want to feel seen and want to feel valid and want to feel good. But when I posted a clip from our podcast where I said, to me, being a super picky eater is a little bit of a red flag to dating me, to dating you, specifically because I'm really into food, I wanna date someone who's also into food. And I explicitly said, and I don't mean people that are vegan or gluten free or have arfid.

[Kendall Landrin]

It's so funny because you said it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I went so far above and beyond to say, people who don't have arfid.

[Kendall Landrin]

Arfid. Which you looked it up.

[Jordan Myrick]

I mean, I can do a Google right now. 0.5 to 5% of all people in the general population have ARFID. So I really feel like I went above and beyond to acknowledge that when I said that I was not talking about. And also to me, if you have a medical condition, you're not a picky eater.

[Kendall Landrin]

No.

[Jordan Myrick]

So, like, I'm obviously not talking about you, but still covered by bases, went above and beyond. So many comments are still like, this is offensive to me because I have arfid. What about people who have arfid? And someone was really coming for me.

[Kendall Landrin]

I mean, it went kind of viral and there was a. I mean, I was just. It was laughable.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, people were like, it's the bean soup situation where that lady made the bean soup. And then all the comments were like, I don't like bean soup. What do I substitute for the beans? Well, what if I'm allergic to beans? Like, people were just.

[Kendall Landrin]

And it was such a homie. It was such an example of our Internet world nowadays where it's like, if you don't eat beans, don't watch a video titled My Bean Soup.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

What? So do you think no one else should eat beans?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. So I got this comment and a couple other comments kind of echoing a similar sentiment that was like, there are a lot of people who have ARFID who do not know they have arfid. And if someone is a very, very, very picky eater, even if they say they don't have arfid, they might still have arfid.

[Kendall Landrin]

But then, so don't date Jordan. What? I don't understand.

[Jordan Myrick]

You probably already don't want to date me, right? So it's like. And also, you can. I'm married. Sorry. So I'm just like. I'm like, relax. But also, I think it's deeply disrespectful if someone tells me they don't have a medical condition to insist that they do have a medical condition. So if someone says, I do not have arfid, I'm not going to be like, well, you probably do. You probably do still have arfid. You probably. You probably don't know you have arfid. You probably do. That's so disrespectful. In my mind. We've had a similar thing before of people being like, if we say someone's annoying, that's rude to all people who are neurodivergent. Because if someone is annoyed by something else, what you're annoyed by is their neurodivergent traits. And I'm like, that's so rude. That's so rude. And weird to say that no one is annoying except just, if you're neurodivergent, you're annoying. And if I perceive you as annoying, it's because you're neurodivergent. You're neurodivergent. So many were friends with our neurodivergent. Half the population is neurodivergent. Most of those people are not annoying.

[Kendall Landrin]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're annoying if you're being, like, rude and you're, like, late all the time.

[Kendall Landrin]

Someone's opinion of what the word annoying means. Like, yeah, I guess I was you annoying as, like, someone being really rude. And I think it's like, yes, sometimes that could be you not understanding a social cue. But sometimes someone's rude. I, like, I just don't under. But also, it's just like, we're not doing a TED Talk, you guys. Like, I'm not writing this in a medical journal.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure. I think that's a big. A big difference.

[Kendall Landrin]

I'm just chatting with my girl. Like, I can get overwhelmed reading comments, being like, can't believe people think this way. I can't believe someone would think I would mean that. Why would someone say that to me? That's so bizarre. If they did that in a. If I was saying what I say and then they responded to that way in person, I would be like, oh, you're really rude. Why would you say that? But on the Internet, it's so normalized. I. I think reminding ourselves the people in our lives are not like that, and most people are not like that.

[Jordan Myrick]

And most people would not comment, behave like that in real life. I think it kind of goes back to something else that we can address is comments that we are not real lesbians. Because you've said before that you would have sex with Channing Tatum. I can acknowledge that Idris Elba is an extremely handsome and charming man. And sometimes the Internet lesbian community does not like that. And to that I will say, mind your own business. Like, I think there's this idea of weird lesbian purity culture that is so bizarre to me. Women all the time get drunk and make out with other women at a bar. It does not make them a lesbian if they don't feel like they're gay. It doesn't make them queer if they're like, yeah, I just did that, but I wasn't really into it. That doesn't make them queer. There are men that have men crushes all the time. I cannot tell you how many times gay men have been like, can I touch your boobs? I love boobs. Boobs are so fun. Nobody doubts any of those people in their sexuality whatsoever at all. It's always just lesbians being like, oh, well, you can't be a lesbian if you've been with men before. You can't be a lesbian if. Da, da, whatever. It would be so crazy if I was like, I'm bisexual. I have no real life attraction, attraction to men. I don't date men. I am not interested in being with men. But I think Idris Elba is handsome. That's wild to me.

[Kendall Landrin]

And even if you like, what I find so funny is the passion that people have with stuff like that, where they're like, commenting over and over again, you are not a lesbian. That if you have a crush on Idris Elba, I'm like, look around you at the world that exists and how many issues exist for the LGBTQ+ community, and this is the hill you're gonna die on.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, the thing that people say to that is they'll be like, you being like, I could get with Channing Tatum is harmful to the lesbian community because it's telling straight CIS men that it's true. Lesbians just quote unquote, like, haven't met the right men.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah, but the CIS men are the. They are.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's the problem.

[Kendall Landrin]

They are harmful. I say whatever I want.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. When I'm talking, I'm not talking to straight CIS men. So if a straight CIS man wants to overhear a thing that I'm saying, not to him, and willfully be ignorant about what that means and use it for evil instead of good, that's not on me.

[Kendall Landrin]

Because to me, my. I want to de center men as much as possible.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

So when I'm talking to my wife about being a lesbian, I am not thinking about how that will affect a straight man. As if they listen to this podcast.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know.

[Kendall Landrin]

Call out in the comments if you're a straight man listening.

[Jordan Myrick]

Just my dad. Yeah. Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

When I'm talking to you about being gay, I'm not thinking about how my words will be taken by a straight white man who has nothing to do with this conversation.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Yes. And if, once again, if they want to take that and use that for good instead of evil, that's not me being harmful. That's them being harmful. I'm not saying something that's harmful because I'm like, I'm gay, but Idris Elba's hot. Why do you want to rip me of my entire sexuality?

[Kendall Landrin]

Also feels like if I said I'm allergic to peanuts, but I wish I could eat a PB&J and then a man like. Or like, in my sleeping James, like, well, you said you. I. Was I supposed to take it? I'm like, because you're an idiot.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, exactly.

[Kendall Landrin]

Now I'm dead.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, 100%. And I think, like, people will be like, well, is this bisexual erasure? No, Bisexuality is wonderful. Pansexuality is wonderful. All of those things are great. I identified as bisexual for so long, I realized that finding a celebrity man that I don't know and have never met handsome is not enough to keep me dating men. So now I identify as lesbian, queer, gay, genderqueer. Whatever. Lots of different labels.

[Kendall Landrin]

But also, it's fake too.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's. And. And I think, like, there are people who would be like, lesbianism is not a fluid identity. I think that is your business. If that's how you feel. If you feel like you are a lesbian and there never has been and never will be any fluidity in your sexuality or gender, I have no feelings or judgments towards you. That's your business. You don't need to police what every other person in the queer community does. And a comment that I saw more than once, and this is what the comment I want to address is. People saying, I saw a comment that said, I'm so sick of meeting lesbians who have straight CIS boyfriends.

[Kendall Landrin]

Wait, what?

[Jordan Myrick]

You heard right. People saying, I'm sick. I'm so sick of meeting lesbians that have straight cis boyfriends. I'm an adult. I'm in my 30s. I've lived all over the country. I've traveled all over the world, New York ladies. As long as I have memories in my life, I've been out for such a long time. None of this matters. But I just think it's relevant to know and say, I've been involved in this community for a very long time. I have never met a lesbian. I've never met someone who identifies as a lesbian who has a straight, cisgendered boyfriend. Maybe you have. I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to do that. I'm not saying it's never happened, but to act like it is some kind of global pandemic.

[Kendall Landrin]

But this is with everything, right? We were seeing. I mean, this is what I mean, the election we just had, this is everything. But it's like these problems that have happened once maybe, and I don't even know, like, one thing happened to one woman somewhere, and people think that it's happening in our backyards. It's everywhere. Everyone.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's a trans sports thing. It's like they're making it out to be that, like, every single sports issue is because of trans people. It's like trans people in sports is such a small group of the population. So if you think it's a problem, you're an idiot in general, but you're, like, really an idiot for not understanding the scope of. Of the thing. And this feels similar to me. It's like I've never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever in my life met someone who identifies currently as a lesbian who has a straight, cisgendered boyfriend. Ever in my life. I haven't. And I don't know anyone that's experienced that. So if you've experienced that and it made you uncomfortable, I'm sorry that you felt uncomfortable by that. Ultimately, that's still that person's business. And they can do whatever they want. But if you didn't like that interaction, I'm sorry. If that interaction made you feel invalid, I'm sorry. That being said, why are you tired of it? Because it's not a thing that's happening in the real world. Sorry, but there's not a huge population of people undermining lesbianism by saying that they're a lesbian, but having a straight. Maybe they say they're gay, Maybe they say they're queer. Maybe they say they're bi. Maybe if that upsets you, that's on you. That's not on them. But I've never, ever, in real life. And this all goes back to just like what you were saying about things on the Internet being so different than things in reality. I've never, ever in my life heard of that, experienced that, ever.

[Kendall Landrin]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's not.

[Kendall Landrin]

No. Right, Right. And there's always going to be people that are. I'm not saying that is bad, but I'm just saying there are always gonna be people in life that are weird or do something annoying or do something, whatever. That will never cease to happen. It's acknowledging when it doesn't need to be the number one thing you're voting for because it's the biggest problem in the world. It's like, it's literally not. It was just that woman, Susan from Colorado, and everyone thought she was weird. That was not a thing that mattered. Like, it really. We were all on the same page about her. It's not happening anywhere else. But I think even just when I was like, it's all fake. It's like, I don't know. God, I hope he's not listening. I don't know if Channing Tatum. If he. And I thought. I have daydreamed about sleeping with Channing Tatum.

[Jordan Myrick]

And that must be hard for you to daydream about because you have never been with a man.

[Kendall Landrin]

I don't even know what. I don't know what's going on. I don't know how it works. I've never seen. No, I. No, it's hard. But I use my imagination and I picture myself. It's a lot of me being just, like, lifted. It's less sex, more of a cheerleading routine where he's just, like, spinning me around.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure. Like a pizza dough in the air.

[Kendall Landrin]

God. And I'm just, like, orgasming the whole time. Yes. I've thought about Chained Tatum, and I. Now I. But if truly, that is so fake. It's so not real. It's like when I picture myself performing in a Broadway show.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

It will not happen. I could not do it. But it's fun to think about.

[Jordan Myrick]

I mean, I think about having sex with Miss Piggy, and she's a puppet. Am I at large attracted to puppets? No.

[Kendall Landrin]

No.

[Jordan Myrick]

But do I think Miss Piggy's hot? Sure. Am I going to have sex with her? No. She's a puppet, like, and she's famous, and I've never met her identifying as.

[Kendall Landrin]

A sexuality that was like, I have sex with puppets. I have sex with puppets.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. I think Miss Piggy, people would be like, you're weird.

[Kendall Landrin]

And I would be like, this is crazy, because this is not even a thing that I don't know if you would really like. If you were handed Miss Piggy, I don't know what you would do. If you were handed the real original puppet of Miss Piggy. I don't know.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'd be so gentle. I wouldn't be able to have sex with her.

[Kendall Landrin]

I don't think you would be able to. I think you would just caress it and I don't know. What. I don't. Honestly, that sounds more perverted to me. So I don't know. But all I'm saying is that if I really. If Channing Tatum was like, let's do it. Let's have sex, I don't know what I would feel.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Kendall Landrin]

I don't know if I would be turned on or if I would go, man, I really am so gay. I don't think I can do this. And honestly, I will never know. That's the saddest part about it.

[Jordan Myrick]

You don't actually need to know or think about it, because it's fake, and that's okay. So I think my big point in saying this, I know I've kind of gone off on a tangent a little bit, but my big thing is, like, relax. Remember what is actually harmful to this community. And what maybe you just don't personally like or you don't personally agree with. Remember that there's so much going on. So many people are in different stages with their sexuality, their gender, their life. People are different ages, and that affects things. There's so many things where it's like, just relax and let people be themselves. Let people be comfortable in how they identify. Don't take someone else feeling differently Than you within this community feel like disrespect to you and your identity. Like, we're all just in this community together, trying to do our best, trying to figure it out. Take a breath. That's my thought.

[Kendall Landrin]

What's the next hate comment?

[Jordan Myrick]

This is a hate comment for you, which we almost never get.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, don't set people up for that now. They're going to be like, challenge acceptance.

[Jordan Myrick]

No. Everyone loves you because you're perfect.

[Kendall Landrin]

No.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, my God, Kendall, you have nothing to say without your girlfriend? Are you a person? Quit wrapping your balls around her neck. Get therapy. Discover who you are and accept haters. Because it'll never be more than this right here.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, it'll never be more than this.

[Jordan Myrick]

It doesn't really make sense.

[Kendall Landrin]

Okay, first of all, I'm in therapy. Thank you. And, yeah, I work on it. So already I'm doing what you said. But also, I think it's hard for me because I agree with you on a lot of things, and you agree with me on a lot of things, and sorry to make you feel fomo, sir or ma'am. Or you, if you're non binary. I usually. We've talked about a lot of this stuff before recording already, if you can believe it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. As two people who live together and never stop talking.

[Kendall Landrin]

I saw something today that was like, on Tick Tock. So I don't know if this was real.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think I sent it to you.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah, Someone was like, straight couples, apparently there's an average. They only speak 30 minutes a week. What did you say?

[Jordan Myrick]

I sent that to you. Okay. I just can't remember exactly what the number is. It was like 30 minutes a week or 30 minutes a day or something.

[Kendall Landrin]

No, I think it was a week because I remember, like, that cannot be true.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I have no clue where that person got that statistic. It sounds wildly untrue to me because my parents are yapping from morning till night.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, but maybe it's different because, like, you know, your dad is retired.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

Not to give all their information, but they, you know, they're a little bit. They're not. Like, I could see if maybe it's like one of you works nights and one of you. I mean, when you were first born, I think your parents maybe spoke 30 minutes a week.

[Jordan Myrick]

But that would have been the same if my parents were gay, because my dad worked the day shift and my mom worked the night shift, so it was like they just weren't around versus, well.

[Kendall Landrin]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Not like my dad was like, I'm golfing or something. You know what I mean?

[Kendall Landrin]

Here's what I'll say. Jordan and I do disagree on things. We don't talk about them on the podcast.

[Jordan Myrick]

But few and far between.

[Kendall Landrin]

Few and far between.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think there's very little we disagree about.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah, I agree.

[Jordan Myrick]

I can't even think of it now, but it's clear that you're thinking of something specifically.

[Kendall Landrin]

No, I'm really not. But I see now I'm doing what now they're gonna think I'm doing, but I really don't. Also, I talk out of my ass. That's another thing. I don't think people realize, so. And I've gotten this comment on both my podcasts, but I will just say something and then someone responds and I'm a good listener. And then I go, oh, you're right. And if I don't agree, I will go, oh, I don't know. And we've had moments where we disagree. But I also. We're not talking about anything on this podcast that is so important. And I need to be like, no, no, enough. I don't agree. It's like, usually it's an opinion, so who am I to be like. Like, I'm not stopping until you fully agree with me.

[Jordan Myrick]

I also think you're great at hearing new information and then changing your opinion. And I think so many people are bad at that, and people should be better at that. And I think it's wonderful that you're good at it.

[Kendall Landrin]

Thank you. I really do feel like I am good. I say my opinion, and as you're talking, I'm taking it in. And sometimes I'm like, oh, but what about this? But sometimes I'm like, yeah, I mean, I didn't think about it that way. Moving on. I'm not trying to, like, argue for argument's sake. It's also a comedy podcast, so we're not talking about nitty gritty details of world events. And we're also not talking about.

[Jordan Myrick]

But even that we're like, well, we.

[Kendall Landrin]

Align on the politically aligned.

[Jordan Myrick]

You know what I mean?

[Kendall Landrin]

There's nothing that I'm gonna be like, no, I just simply cannot let you say that. You know what I mean?

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely.

[Kendall Landrin]

And I also, like, we do talk a lot about this stuff just in our own lives and usually are on the same page. But I also. I don't know. I think I'm very much. I do think I'm very much my own person.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I think that this person is jealous that you're hot. I'll say it why do you think that? I'll say it. That's what I think. I think they're jealous of how hot you are.

[Kendall Landrin]

I think that there is. I. I think I'm my own person.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's maybe one of the saddest things you've ever said. Of course you're your own person.

[Kendall Landrin]

Well, I just sometimes, you know, I don't feel like I know everything because I don't know so much. And that's. I think a lot of people know equally what I know and are talking. Like they know a lot more, 100%. And I will never, no matter how insecure I am about my own intellect from, you know, things I've struggled with in the past, I will never let myself act as though I'm smarter than anyone else, 100%.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think also this person is just, like, having a negative reaction to your kind of, like, gentle, open energy, and that's their problem.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

This is from the episode with Brendan where we talked about the Pope chair.

[Kendall Landrin]

Can you wanna give a reminder?

[Jordan Myrick]

So if you didn't listen, that episode in episode with Brendan Jordan about Dan dancing. It's about dancing and also dating.

[Kendall Landrin]

Oh, with Brendan Jordan. I thought you said it was an episode with Brendan and Jordan. I was like, okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

And Kendall. Kendall. It was an episode with Brendan Jordan and it was about dating in the trans non. Binary space. And we talked about the Pope chair, which I had heard of before, which is a chair that when you become pope, you have to go sit in and you have to let your testicles hang through an opening in the chair. And then another man in the church, like, reaches under and touches your testicles to confirm that you have testicles. And it's like a weird Pope ritual. It's a thing that's like. It's. It's fake, but there also a lot of people like, no, it's real. It's like an old practice that they used to do. Whatever we were talking about it. I think it's so unbelievably funny and horrific. But this person left this comment. By the way, you are both incredibly unqualified, which really makes me laugh. They quoted it and it is quoting our intro to the podcast.

[Kendall Landrin]

And honestly, that's a fan, so I'm.

[Jordan Myrick]

Count those as fans. You are both incredibly unqualified. Disrespecting the Pope. Do research. Read the Bible. Okay, so your little podcast attracts small minds. By no means are you an impact on society. Yes, Jordan, I'm absolutely rude because of all this Pride Tribe stuff is ridiculous. And guess What? You're just as rude with your interpretation of the Catholic religion and Christianity. Grow up.

[Kendall Landrin]

Oh, okay. Honestly, I kind of like them. I don't know why. I think maybe it's just because you read it in a really bitchy tone. But I was like, I think I.

[Jordan Myrick]

Probably gave this person more confidence than they truly have in the reading.

[Kendall Landrin]

Grow up is never not funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's so funny.

[Kendall Landrin]

I say it all the time too.

[Jordan Myrick]

Because it is so funny all the time. It is so funny. I love this. First of all, I find that people will be like, read the Bible. I'm like, I did. That's the problem. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I did. I went to religious school almost my entire life. Life. I've read the Bible tip to tail, baby. All of it. Yeah, it's horrifying. And I think you'll be like, read the Bible. I'm like, you saying that tells me that you have not read the Bible. Also, the Pope's not in the Bible. Queen. Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about? You insane Hollywood.

[Kendall Landrin]

So to recap, we're cutting the price of mint unlimited from $30 a month.

[Jordan Myrick]

To just $15 a month. Give it a [e-mail] switch.

[Kendall Landrin]

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three month plan only. Taxes and fees, extra speed slower above.

[Jordan Myrick]

40 gigabytes of details. Now, come on, something to think about. What do you mean? I'm disrespecting the Pope, so I need to read the Bible. Yeah, Come on. You grow up and it says, do your research. I love that. Yeah, that's what like a lot of these people who are like really, really, really, like right wing religious don't understand is. Like, actually you shouldn't be telling people to do their research because that is what drives people away from your religion is them doing their research.

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah, you gotta do the classic cult thing where they're like, no computers.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

No asking questions.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's what's smart. If you're trying to brainwash a bunch of people.

[Kendall Landrin]

And I can't really respond to this hate comment because they're telling me to do my research and that I know nothing about it. And they are absolutely right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure, sure.

[Kendall Landrin]

Someone touching testicles under a chair is really funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

And come on what research am I.

[Jordan Myrick]

Gonna do that's gonna change that 100%. Yeah. I also think it's so funny when it's like I'm rude with my interpretation of the Catholic Church. It's so funny. It's like, what's my interpretation? My interpretation is that they don't like gay people. That's not my interpretation. That's the truth. And so I'm just like, I don't know what to tell you. Y. I thought that comment was really, really funny. I love that they quoted our intro.

[Kendall Landrin]

You know, though, it's funny when someone writes something and I go, you are a good writer.

[Jordan Myrick]

Though the way it flowed, it's punctuated in a way that would make your brain explode. Like, there are. There are periods just kind of adrift.

[Kendall Landrin]

All, oh, it's not well punctuated.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's just kind of wild, you know? Makes me be like, this is some kind of Da Vinci Code esque riddle.

[Kendall Landrin]

It would probably make sense to me because you've seen my comma usage.

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall will put a comma in the middle of a word.

[Kendall Landrin]

I view a comma as the way you're supposed to deliver it is how I've always thought.

[Jordan Myrick]

So I say, I don't think that's 100% wrong.

[Kendall Landrin]

I think someone told me that one time, and I said, I will use my creative license. So if you're reading something I wrote and I want it to be, hey there, idiot, you look so stupid. And I want there to be a really dramatic positive for stupid. I'll put a period there. I'll put a comma there. I'll put a period anywhere.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I love that. And I love that about you. This is an episode where people are a little upset about the Earn vs Furby situation.

[Kendall Landrin]

And if I knew you were gonna get in trouble for that or were they mad at me, there's no way I can get Daddy.

[Jordan Myrick]

Of course they're mad at me.

[Kendall Landrin]

I knew the second. I think you sent in the clips for that one because we kind of like. Well, I mean, it had to be.

[Jordan Myrick]

It was actually better received than I thought. And if you're listening for the first time and you're not familiar with this, we have kind of an ongoing joke. Kendall's father passed away a few years ago. She and I were both incredibly close to him, love him very, very much. He also was a comedian in his own right.

[Kendall Landrin]

I mean, literally, I just have to say, Jordan cries about. You're about to start crying now. Anytime Jordan talks about my dad, they start Crying. Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

Stop recording.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I love it. We were both very, very close with Kendall's dad, and I think one way we, like, keep his memory alive a lot is by joking about him in a way that, like, feels very much like we joked with him when he was alive. And I think that we're both crying. I think that it is, but I. And I think that's something people don't understand, and I totally get people not understanding that. And to that, I say back off, and you're a loser, because I think it is how we cope with this huge loss we had, and. Do you need to stop?

[Kendall Landrin]

No.

[Jordan Myrick]

You sure?

[Kendall Landrin]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

The views are gonna go crazy. Both of us crying. Both of us crying. Gene. Big man. Thank you, King. Yeah, it's.

[Kendall Landrin]

It would be so crazy if my dad.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't even think I said what the thing is. Should I preface it? No, no, don't be sorry. But should I preface it so your thing makes sense? Basically, it's this funny debate where I have a lot of tchotchkes. And when Kendall's dad passed away, we got his urn, and we were trying to decide where to put the urn, and Kendall kept kind of being like, I could put it here, but then it's next to a statue of a dog on a lawn chair. I could put it here. Well, it'd be next to a furby. Oh, I could put it here. It would be next to salt and pepper shakers that look like two pigs kissing. It was just kind of a joke on how many tchotchkes we have in our house and how there was no.

[Kendall Landrin]

Place that felt appropriate to put my dead father.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Nowhere felt like the right. We put him on the center of our, like, console in our bedroom, underneath our tv. Obviously, it felt like he was watching us have sex. They just. Nothing felt right or made sense. And that's how, like, loss is. It's like, yeah, where do you put the urn of someone that was so important to you that feels, like, good and right and, like. So it's become this ongoing joke of, like, well, what do we move? Do we move the urn or do we move my. My furby? And people can get very reactionary to it and be like, it's so disrespectful that Jordan would not move the furby. And I think this is what you were gonna say.

[Kendall Landrin]

What's so funny is the idea that my father died, and then I bring the urn home, and I'm sobbing in this image is what I think People.

[Jordan Myrick]

Think, and I haven't been with you.

[Kendall Landrin]

And you haven't been with me. I bring my dead father's urn in, and I'm sobbing and I say, I would just love a place to put it. And Jordan said, well, don't fucking move my Furby, because I don't give a shit where your dead dad goes. The Furby doesn't move. And I think the fact that you even asked me to move it is. This is what people are picturing. And I'm like, really try to think about it, because you know that I would not talk about it on a podcast if I didn't think it was funny.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landrin]

It's also like you. I mean, when my dad was passing away, you were up visiting him with me every month. You took off so much work. You were there for me. I mean, you were with me in the room when it happened. I mean, we were there. It's like such a intense thing we both went through. You were so supportive of me and have continued to be as I continue to grieve it. And it's a. I would not. If my dad passed away and you were then abusive to me, I would.

[Jordan Myrick]

Not talk about it on a Start a podcast.

[Kendall Landrin]

And we wouldn't then make it a clip. Like, if you really thought that. And then you were like, let me make a clip where I'm telling Kendall that I don't care where her dead dad's urn goes. Like, what are people thinking?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, it's a joke. And it's all okay. And this is what I'll say. I mean this more than I've ever meant it before. The girls that get it, get it, and the girls that don't, don't. Because you have people in the comments being like, love Eugene, but I'm Team Furby. And I'm like, they know. They know and they get it. And, like, Gene would. Would love them.

[Kendall Landrin]

And you were my girls.

[Jordan Myrick]

But this person did say unsubscribing, but wishing the best for Kendall. Absolutely. Triggering episode with all the gaslighting that occurred.

[Kendall Landrin]

Here's what I'd like to say, too, because I get this a lot on my YouTube.

[Jordan Myrick]

I've seen this a couple times about me gaslighting you.

[Kendall Landrin]

No, no, no unsubscribing. Wish Kendall the best because. And it's people. It doesn't happen often, but it's people who are mad at you for being rude to me if I'm ever in a bad relationship. And your gift to me is unsubscribing.

[Jordan Myrick]

From my YouTube channel from your source of income.

[Kendall Landrin]

Go fuck. Because literally, so insane to unsubscribe to my channel. I'm the victim. Why don't you get a Patreon subscription so I can afford to get out of my bad.

[Jordan Myrick]

So concerned.

[Kendall Landrin]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's very funny. I've never thought about that. This person said, you deserve someone who looks out for you when you're in pain instead of laughing at you and blaming you for it. Especially when they expect the same care and consideration regarding their sensory issues. I think this episode, I said, I don't like the feeling of cardboard.

[Kendall Landrin]

And what did I say?

[Jordan Myrick]

I went back and watched it, which is so funny. You laugh in my face. So I'm like, I don't know what? And you know that you make fun of me because I'm like, well, I don't like the feeling of cardboard. So sometimes Kendall has to take down the trash and kind of like laughs in my face and says something rude about it.

[Kendall Landrin]

Sometimes I have to take down the trash.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, our way.

[Kendall Landrin]

Every time. Do you even know where the. You don't even know where the dumpster is.

[Jordan Myrick]

Roommate takes down the trash a lot.

[Kendall Landrin]

Next. Hate comment.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think that's it. I think time is up.

[Kendall Landrin]

All right, well, actually, I said next. I just said next. But we're out of time.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Kendall Landrin]

We timed this perfectly. Good job.

[Jordan Myrick]

We really did.

[Kendall Landrin]

How are you?

[Jordan Myrick]

I feel great. I think this was so fun and cathartic. I hope this was fun and cathartic for you at home. If you're a real fan. We absolutely love you, and we always welcome your thoughts and your comments and your criticism. But sometimes we might have something to say back.

[Kendall Landrin]

Criticism is not what we have a problem with. I have about 80 comments to prove. To prove it, I have about 80 comments on the last podcast episode of people saying, kendall, with all due respect, you would not be a good farmer. And I said, listen, I think you're probably right. And I said to Trent, I said, maybe I'll just volunteer somewhere. That's what everyone's telling me.

[Jordan Myrick]

We learned a lot from that episode.

[Kendall Landrin]

So I take criticism constantly, and so I totally hear that. But some stuff you just gotta respond to. Cause it's funny. And then, honestly, it does feel good. It feels nice to. To stick up for myself and say, I am my own person. I don't have any. I think my own thoughts and my own ideas and my own opinions. Right. What do you think? Just kidding.
