Podcast starts now.
George Severis
Just kidding. But it is us. It's both of us. We are here on zoom and we want to tell you that we have a variety of shows coming up, shows that honestly haven't even been announced yet. And so first of all, I have a second London show on February 24th at the Soho Theater that there are still a few tickets left for.
Sam Taglio
And I, Sam Hay, have three shows in Los Angeles. They are on March 9, March 24 and April 1. I'll be working on my hour before I take it on the damn road. So I would love to have a supportive crowd there. And then get this. We are doing a Stradia Lab live show in New York City at the Bell house on Friday, March 13th. Spooky Friday the 13th.
George Severis
Wow. So pretty much you can see George, that's me, in London on February 24th. You can see Sam in Los Angeles for three dates that are sort of across March and April. And you can see both of us in New York City, Brooklyn, but still counts at the Bell House on Friday the 13th. Friday, March 13th. Well, quite simply, what more could you ask for?
Sam Taglio
We are out and about and that's all you can ask of us.
George Severis
And that's the mother tuck and teeth. Enjoy the episode.
Sam Taglio
Bye. Podcast starts now.
George Severis
Tgif, if I may be so bold, I'll say tgif.
Sam Taglio
Thank God it's Friday, folks.
George Severis
How do you feel about Phil's Coffee?
Sam Taglio
Hate it.
George Severis
So this is so interesting to me. Every time I bring up Phil's Coffee, everyone hates it.
Sam Taglio
Too sweet. I know you can get it without sweet, but they want you to get it sweet. And I don't like the implied sweet.
George Severis
This is so, you know, Phil's Coffee is first of all Palestinian owned soap.
Sam Taglio
Actually at correction, they were bought by a VC firm and now they're not Palestinian owned.
George Severis
Oh, and it wasn't a Palestinian VC firm. That's so interesting.
Sam Taglio
They started Palestinian owned because someone of course on the Internet corrected someone recently and I've taken that to be fact.
George Severis
So I used to live in Palo Alto, California and Phil's is from Palo Alto. So I went to the original Philz and it was, when I tell you, Seattle grunge, crunchy. All the wood on the counter was chipped. Nothing like what it looks. The VC narrative makes sense to me cause I remember going and it was just so in the middle of Palo Alto. It was just such a tech town and everything Is so blue bottle. It was the one thing where you're like, finally some authenticity in this town. And now I went to one. I live by one now in la. And by live I do mean I'm here for one month, of course. And I went to one and I was like, this is like Jamba Juice.
Sam Taglio
No, it's horrible. Even the graphic itself grosses me out.
George Severis
Well, the graphic has actually always been that, so that is still the homegrown element of it. And the Z, you know, gaggot. Do you like Philz, Jason Stewart?
Jason Stewart
I'm neutral on fils.
George Severis
Okay.
Jason Stewart
I've never desired it. I've had it a couple times. Yeah, I guess I don't order coffee with sweetener in it, so I didn't even know.
George Severis
I did not know about that.
Jason Stewart
The only thing they are pushing sweet.
Sam Taglio
In a huge way.
Jason Stewart
They push a mint leaf.
George Severis
Like that's their signature, the mint mojito.
Jason Stewart
We love mint leaves in a black hot coffee, don't we guys?
George Severis
No, that I don't like. Well, I did something shocking recently, which is that I went to Maru, which is right by where I again am staying. And rather than getting a normal coffee, I was sucked into the promise of their quote unquote signature foam full of sugar. Disgusting. I had to throw out a $6 drink and go back and say, I would like an Americano.
Sam Taglio
And it's tough because you can't be the gay guy being like, how sweet is the foam? Yeah.
George Severis
But it's for me to ask, you know, it didn't even occur to me to ask because I'm like, you ask.
Jason Stewart
For a children's drink, you get a children's drink. What do you expect, buddy? Sorry.
George Severis
But I'm like, to me, foam is also. Maybe I'm just confusing it with like how the Starbucks protein foam. I'm like, they've made advances in film technology. Like, I didn't expect it to be like, you know, like marshmallow flavored.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. I mean, Maru is obviously red flag left and right because the line is out the door. Everyone's like, you have to get the matcha. People are taking pictures with the drinks.
George Severis
To me, it's writing a script in the notes app.
Sam Taglio
It's scary to be over there int Maru. I see the Maru and I go, no, I can't be over here.
Jason Stewart
Like, you just have to go at the right times, guys, and order the right thing. If you, if you just go there and get an espresso at 2:14 in the morning.
George Severis
2:14 in the morning.
Jason Stewart
Could Arguably be the best.
George Severis
Start lining up at 2:14am I do think it's delicious. And that's why I'm.
Jason Stewart
It's just like LA is same thing with traffic. You know when to not go to certain places. True, true, true, true.
George Severis
Tr.
Jason Stewart
And that's just what it is.
George Severis
Well, it's all about. There's so much. This is very much something you would say, but LA is very chastity planned this way, where it's like you have to constantly know the rules or you will be punished.
Sam Taglio
You will be punished. Bad spanked.
George Severis
Yeah. Is that what you like about it?
Jason Stewart
Maybe. Likes the rules?
Sam Taglio
I think we didn't like, properly bring in.
George Severis
Okay, let's bring in our guests.
Jason Stewart
Sorry for saying gag.
George Severis
No, no, no.
Sam Taglio
That was perfect. That's not to punish you. This is not to spank you.
George Severis
Yeah, this isn't. This is a very New York City podcast. We're not about rules here. It's very Lower east side.
Jason Stewart
The Loose lifestyle of Manhattan.
George Severis
Got it. Yeah. The loose lifestyle of Manhattan.
Sam Taglio
So the last time we had this guest on. I have a confession. That's not a confession. I hadn't listened to your podcast yet.
George Severis
This was like three years.
Sam Taglio
You could tell, Honey, Honey, you could tell.
George Severis
And honey is the other one.
Sam Taglio
George kept saying, we got to get these guys on. And I go, ugh. Okay, George, fine. Now, ever since you did the podcast, I have listened to your podcast morning, noon, and night. I listen to every damn episode.
George Severis
Superfan.
Sam Taglio
I've become a superfan in a way that is completely insane. And so insane. I'll say.
Jason Stewart
Okay, let's go.
Sam Taglio
I just feel like we come from different worlds.
Jason Stewart
I had a. We do. We do come. And that's what our podcast is for. To bridge.
Sam Taglio
You're bridging the world.
Jason Stewart
We bridge. And I on New Year's Eve, when I was hanging out with you at the party, and then your husband came over and dropped that great line.
Sam Taglio
Well, because he was like, we were talking about restaurants, and Misha kind of gets mad at me because, like, I only go to restaurants if someone recommends them, and especially if it's meant. I'll be like, well, you know who loves this restaurant? Jason from how long Gone. And he, like, kind of starts resenting.
Jason Stewart
Like when you tell your kid, like, Superman would change his diaper. Yeah, I want to do that. And he would tie his shoes.
Sam Taglio
And so then to you, he was like, well. And do you know, like, Sam only goes to restaurants if they're recommended by. How do you know this podcast? How long gone and then I go, honey, he is how long gone? It was such a laugh.
George Severis
And this actually just happened to you? I won't say who, but someone just outside didn't know who you were, but knew how long gone and was like starstruck in retrospect by comprehending that you host Hell on God. Is that intentional? Are you trying to keep your physical appearance hidden from the masses?
Jason Stewart
I post a selfie every fucking day.
George Severis
Yeah, but you guys don't do video. What's up?
Sam Taglio
Are you shadow banned?
George Severis
Do you only work with.
Jason Stewart
No, I get a lot of likes. My engagement is quite high.
Sam Taglio
Oh, your engagement is highly.
Jason Stewart
A professional influencer. Like, it is my literal job. That is my number one revenue stream.
Sam Taglio
It's working on me. I'm going to restaurants.
Jason Stewart
No, I mean, like brands give me money and that's how I pay my bills. So that is an interesting.
George Severis
Do you embrace the influencer title?
Jason Stewart
Yeah, I have to.
Sam Taglio
Do you watch I love L. A and go. That is so me.
Jason Stewart
Me af unironically 1000% yes. I'm like, this is a show that gets me, a person that is twice the age of these little gay boys running around. Damn. Well, I mean, but I literally do watch that and I'm like, fuck, they got it.
George Severis
No, they do. Yeah, they do got it. It's her generation's entourage.
Jason Stewart
I mean, but as. And you can sort of relate as similar, but like my jobs have been dj, club promoter, podcaster, influencer. It's like, yeah, you have. If you don't embrace it, then I would be suicidal.
George Severis
What's funny about us, which is actually so deeply humiliating, is that we are defensive about being like, we're stand up comedians. As though that's any better. As though that's not the single worst job you can possibly have.
Sam Taglio
But like.
George Severis
But unlike other people would know. Well, that's not a job, that's a hobby, I guess. Improv.
Sam Taglio
It's a public humiliation.
George Severis
Public humiliation, yeah. Talk about chastity play.
Jason Stewart
It's a great skill set to have, though, for the corporate world.
George Severis
No, definitely for the corporate world. And for nowhere else. Well, it's like when people say, like when people. When improvisers are like, oh, I have to do a corporate gig. I'm like, that's what it's for.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
George Severis
Like, it's not like it's an art form on its own and then you're selling it by doing a corporate gig.
Jason Stewart
No, no, that is the. That's. It is a means to that end.
George Severis
It's literally a Means that's a big show and you're doing God's work.
Jason Stewart
You're going to split eighteen hundred dollars between seven people, no flights, no hotels, and that's it.
George Severis
Yeah. And you're going to love.
Jason Stewart
That's your Coachella.
George Severis
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Well, I do think we are sort of pioneering the idea of being a non self deprecating podcaster.
George Severis
Yeah, totally.
Sam Taglio
Like, I think so many people are like, I'm a podcaster. Ugh. Like, don't judge me.
Jason Stewart
That's one of my biggest pet peeves, especially with our direct competition. Smart list.
Sam Taglio
Yes.
George Severis
Your enemies.
Jason Stewart
Three dudes who are success hot, multi millionaire people who live a great life being very talented, and their show is about how they're just so stupid and I don't know nothing about nobody and it's a bad trip. Or just like Amy Poehler accepting the Golden Globe for podcasting and still being like, I'm a podcast.
George Severis
Don't talk about Amy that way.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, she's the friend. No, I mean, we've never met.
Jason Stewart
She's great and it's cool, but, like, if it really is that embarrassing, don't fucking do it.
Sam Taglio
You're pointing to something too. The smart list thing of, like, people who are big celebs being like, I'm dumb as fuck, that I'm just old.
Jason Stewart
I don't. I watch TV and I go to bed in my 7 o' clock and I eat dinner at 4.
Sam Taglio
I think this is my. I have a beef right now with Seth Rogen because I feel like he.
Jason Stewart
Is that wake it up, bitch.
George Severis
Wait, what do you mean?
Sam Taglio
Seth Rogen's like, I'm a stoner. I suck. And it's like, so you're the most stoner.
George Severis
You're the president of Halloween.
Jason Stewart
I think he's crawling out of that and he's getting. Entering a bit of a Swag Lord era now that he was. He's winning awards. He's a little zadified.
George Severis
He's got a stylist on the planet.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yes.
George Severis
I know you think he's. I've actually brought this up on your podcast and both you. Both this. You're only making.
Sam Taglio
Turning us.
George Severis
You're only turning us on.
Sam Taglio
Turning us on.
Jason Stewart
Okay.
George Severis
No, it is. I would say he is, you know, Sam and I very, very different types, and he is in the sweet spot where both of us are attracted.
Jason Stewart
He's your bridge.
George Severis
Literally. He's the.
Sam Taglio
How long gone?
Jason Stewart
Do you like him a little chubbier or.
George Severis
No, Sam does. I mean, not to be Like I don't.
Jason Stewart
Sure, sure, sure. More than you. If you had to pick one. Okay, okay, sure.
Sam Taglio
Sometimes I like a little guy.
Jason Stewart
Have you guys interact. Interacted with him? Never.
George Severis
No, no.
Sam Taglio
But I do have beef.
Jason Stewart
The beef is his self deprecation.
George Severis
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Because it worked.
Sam Taglio
Part of me is like, I'm even.
Jason Stewart
Like, is this a she's all that situation where you want to take his glasses off and say like you're actually beautiful. And he.
George Severis
Oh, if you don't think the glasses are part. He's already done that to himself. That's the issue. It's like if he's still dressed like.
Jason Stewart
A schlug in Super Bad when you were kids.
George Severis
No, Sam was.
Sam Taglio
I might have.
Jason Stewart
Where the line is. There was a.
Sam Taglio
There was this art. Artful nudes magazine that was like black and white nudes of men. It was called Pinups Shout Out. And they did a special edition where they drew Seth Rogen naked. Like each page was a new drawing.
Jason Stewart
Like fanfic.
Sam Taglio
Fanfic of Seth Rogan.
Jason Stewart
So it was like community.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, like bear community.
Jason Stewart
You know.
George Severis
Do you know about.
Jason Stewart
People really love hyper realistic cartoon art, don't they? Yeah, they. Because that's the only way you can create those fantasies now with AI, anything. Well, yeah, now with AI, it's different, but I still like taking pen to paper, you know.
Sam Taglio
Of course there's a meditation in that.
George Severis
Well, that's the only.
Jason Stewart
But yeah, I do know about bears.
George Severis
That's the only thing I consume.
Jason Stewart
Gay shit 101. Right.
Sam Taglio
Well, I want, I want to be like, no, I'm up at 6am Like I want him to admit that he's like Mark Wahlberg. Like, I want to be like, I go to bed at 10pm, I'm up at 4. I work out, I read scripts. I. Yeah, because I'm like, you're not like stumbling through life this.
Jason Stewart
No, I agree. But I think at one point he kind of was like, yeah. Going from meeting to meeting with a spliff in his hand and just like. I guess I sold another script, you know, like. Yeah, I think now that he's like a 47 year old guy and has $100 million. He's finally like Universal. I'm wearing Bruno.
George Severis
Yeah. The only person allowed to make like a billion different shows. Sorry. When you said gay 101. I remembered when my friend, our mutual friend Andrews told me that you asked him if woof means busted. If. If like if I like woof in.
Jason Stewart
Well, I've noticed. I've noticed that woofing good and bad.
Public Investing Ad Voice
Yeah.
George Severis
Woof is an interesting word.
Sam Taglio
Like that in gay. I feel like it usually means good.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
George Severis
But then if you. Because that's straight culture.
Jason Stewart
That's like an ugly bitch. Like, you look like a dog.
George Severis
And I had never considered that. It really is, like, it's the.
Jason Stewart
It's almost gay word. Does it enter a pup play area where me.
Sam Taglio
It's like. It's very bear culture.
George Severis
Like, like, well, woofing.
Sam Taglio
You literally woof on scruff.
George Severis
One of the afs. Woofing is you woof on scruff.
Jason Stewart
Is I literally woof on scruff.
Sam Taglio
But then, like, it's literally I'm woofing on scruff, folks. But then.
Jason Stewart
So that's like sending somebody a DM message. Yeah.
George Severis
And it's like poking on.
Sam Taglio
It's been like, hey, woof.
Jason Stewart
Isn't that from the office? B.J. novak's woof me. He gets it. Is that it was like he tried to develop, like, a new social media thing called woof. And it was like, W u P H or something like that. Or like, you send a message and it's like you get a tweet, you get a text, you get an email, you get a fax, you get a. Whatever it is.
George Severis
I bet Mindy Kaling wrote that one.
Jason Stewart
We digress. But it's transcendent.
Sam Taglio
Scruff, I would argue. And now if you're like. If you're like, seeing a bear post a selfie at the beach, you respond like, woof.
Jason Stewart
Okay, got it.
George Severis
But you are so right that for women, it's the opposite. And that's just so.
Jason Stewart
That's like the fire emoji.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, not yet. Is there.
Jason Stewart
Is there a wolf emoji?
George Severis
Do you not. Do you. I guess I've. I'm not as sometimes I would do.
Jason Stewart
The nut emoji where it's like, you. I just came, you know, and it's just. But that's a classic.
Sam Taglio
Like, you do the nut emoji.
Jason Stewart
Well, because, like, you know, the meme, like, hitting the nut button.
Sam Taglio
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
George Severis
When you say nut, you mean the.
Sam Taglio
The peanut.
George Severis
The peanut. Or like, water droplets, like nut.
Sam Taglio
No, he means peanut.
Jason Stewart
A peanut. A Brazil nut. There's more than one varietal of legume.
George Severis
Oh, you're sending Brazil nut.
Jason Stewart
It depends on the size of the nut, but it's typically a peanut.
George Severis
Depends on the size of the nut.
Jason Stewart
It's typically a peanut. Where it's like, that is good enough to make me come. Nut emoji. And Then woof that. You know what I mean?
Sam Taglio
That's nice. I'm going to start sending the nut emoji.
George Severis
How do it.
Jason Stewart
Be careful what you wish for.
George Severis
How do you feel about. Pretty much, like, let's say you're posting a sexy photograph. Okay. And you're wanting attention. What kind of response are you looking for? Like, if someone. If someone does fire emoji back to you, Is that. You don't like that?
Jason Stewart
No, I don't want a fire emoji.
George Severis
Because all that's doing is being like. All that's doing is being like, okay, your turn. You go now.
Jason Stewart
I think the emoji reaction. Unless. Unless it's like a heart emoji. When somebody died or somebody's dog died or something bad happened, just hit him with those three hearts.
George Severis
I usually do nut emoji.
Sam Taglio
If someone's dog died, I go, woof.
Jason Stewart
Look, we all get off on our own things, and I'm not here to judge what you're into. Dead animal play. That's what it is.
George Severis
Actually, I was just talking about different kind of dark. When I was in college. This is. If you're right wing, skip five minutes. When I was in college, many of.
Sam Taglio
Our listeners are right wing.
George Severis
When I was in college, I was sort of involved. I was adjacent to, like, a sort of radical, queer Somalian group. They were Somalian groups that were organizing some kind of, like, pretty violent armed domestic resistance. I was pretty involved in some, like, queer groups that were very, like, seeped in, like, queer theory and, like, and all that stuff. And one thing I remember happening is they were sort of, like, using queer theory to, like, theorize about interspecies relationships. And from what I understood, the ultimate goal was to somehow destigmatize them. And I remember specifically being like. And that's when I'm out.
Sam Taglio
Like, humans and, like, bestiality.
Jason Stewart
So you're like, I'm on board so far with, like, blowing up a government building.
George Severis
But I was sort of like, you.
Sam Taglio
Lost me with that.
Jason Stewart
I'm normalizing that. Like, horses can be kind of hot sometimes. Is a line too far for you? I get it.
George Severis
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Interesting.
George Severis
They're like, that's a colonial narrative.
Sam Taglio
Where did they stand on hooking up with cousins?
George Severis
I'm sure they're okay with it. That's child's play.
Jason Stewart
I'm not touching this one. I know how y' all play. I know how y' all play on Thanksgiving and Easter.
George Severis
Yeah, Thanksgiving is woof central.
Sam Taglio
It's woof central. I'm always Woofing at Thanksgiving.
Jason Stewart
You ever woof a cousin on Thanksgiving and go, yeah, nut emoji, nut emoji, nut emoji. Sorry, I was just looking at all my topics. We'll ask you about your dreams, but I had a couple questions. Cause I was listening to the episode with Yasir, Lester Yassir. Y' all see her do. And have you ever noticed that when certain straight guests come on the show, they begin to take a gay voice affectation and they get a little like, we're here to key.
George Severis
Like, okay, I take a little. Happy to hear you say that. Because I fear that we. It's the opposite.
Sam Taglio
We sometimes get straighter when we have a straight.
George Severis
And I feel like I honestly do that when I'm on hell and Gone.
Jason Stewart
Oh, interesting.
Sam Taglio
You're like, didn't clock it.
Jason Stewart
You bring the freak flag down.
George Severis
But you know that you sounded pretty gay to me.
Sam Taglio
Pretty fraggy if you ask me.
Jason Stewart
So that was you turning it down?
George Severis
No, no. Well, I know. In fact, I was like conscious of not wanting to do that, so this time around I did, but I just.
Jason Stewart
Noticed that Yasuo was just kind of like kikiing.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, he was like, cleaning out.
Jason Stewart
He was cleaning out a little more, don't you think? Like, I haven't talked to him in a while, so I don't know what.
George Severis
He'S up to, but yeah, well, he's gay now.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
He's cleaning out in his day to day life.
George Severis
He's queening out his day.
Jason Stewart
That makes a lot of sense.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. I mean, I do think some straight guys come on and are like, I come in peace. Like, it's their way of being. Like, I'm not a threat.
George Severis
Yeah. But then other ones are like, it is time to queen out. And I'm just as much part of this as you bitches are. But don't you think all you want is permission to queen out?
Jason Stewart
Of course.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
That's what this is. That's what this is. All these lights and cameras are about, right?
Sam Taglio
No, that's true, that's true.
George Severis
Why are you finding yourself?
Sam Taglio
Do you want to.
Jason Stewart
Are you like, I try to be.
George Severis
Neutral and suddenly your voice went deeper.
Jason Stewart
As I went like a gay podcast or like a straight podcast. I'm just keeping it real. But also the Ivy woke episode.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
I feel like, well, she ate us up.
Sam Taglio
She ate us up bad.
Jason Stewart
But she's like, you know, if she wasn't so toxic, she would be so famous. Like, she's so much more talented and funny than everyone.
Electric Vehicle Ad Voice
Right?
George Severis
Now she's literally a generational talent, funniest person alive.
Sam Taglio
She will be.
George Severis
She will be the next Melissa McCormick.
Jason Stewart
Welcome on the pod. If you want to.
George Severis
Oh, my God.
Sam Taglio
She'll be there in a second.
George Severis
She'll kill. You guys will not be able to keep up.
Jason Stewart
Challenge accepted. Easy peasy. Come on. But you guys like that, right?
Sam Taglio
Oh, we love being domed by.
George Severis
We love being domed by a promising young woman. We like it less when it's like.
Jason Stewart
She'S got the bangs of a Dom, huh?
George Severis
Yes, that's true. That's true. And she's had the Dom bang. We asked her about the Dom bangs. She said she's had them since she was a teenager, which was two years ago.
Sam Taglio
I was. Yeah, whatever it is. 21 is a crazy age.
George Severis

Jason Stewart
No, I was listening to the podcast and she was like, mentioning being in high school during the pandemic, and I.

Jason Stewart
Beginning of the rest of your life. So true.
George Severis
Wow.
Sam Taglio
Wow. Yeah.
Jason Stewart
10 out of 10, right?
Sam Taglio
Pretty much. A thousand doves.
George Severis
Yeah, a thousand doves. This is.
Sam Taglio
We were talking about this, I hope before we started recording. I'm not losing my mind. You're so prepared.
George Severis
Yeah, you're always. You start to clock your tea, but.
Jason Stewart
You'Re so prepared when you're always on.
Sam Taglio
You're Seth Rogen.
George Severis
You are Seth Rogen. Before the podcast, you're pretending you're this, oh, interesting dj. Oh, I'm DJ then. Crazy. I'm playing a remix of Ray of Light.
Jason Stewart
I like crawling myself out of. I like digging a hole so I could crawl out of it and say like, ta da.
George Severis
Yeah, well, lower the expectation.
Jason Stewart
But also maybe. But I'm not smoking a lot of weed like Seth Rogen. Like, I'll take a little. That was like a half of an edible. Just a little, you know.
Sam Taglio
So how much was in that one?
George Severis
Five.
Jason Stewart
That was like 5 milligrams I had.
Sam Taglio
That you just took.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
George Severis
Has it hit yet?
Jason Stewart
It's like trickling in. Totally trickling in. But like my brain can be a little too much sometimes and it's a little too like, if I'm over caffeinated, it just kind of helps level me out a little bit.
George Severis
God, I wish I was like that. If I'm stoned in public, it's over.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
I've got to be home.
George Severis
I'm staring at a corner of a wall.
Sam Taglio
I can be out, I can be dancing, but I can't be chatting.
Jason Stewart
You can't have lights on you with video cameras rolling.
Sam Taglio
Oh, God, no. I tried to just stand up high once.
George Severis
Can't do it.
Sam Taglio
And it was like a fucking nightmare.
George Severis
Did you ever do that stoned show that. Yes. Yeah, that Spike used to produce?
Sam Taglio
Yeah. Okay, then. I've been high like three times.
George Severis
There was a show where it was catered by a cannabis chef. Like a really like good cannabis chef. And so there was a buffet of all cannabis laced food. And then you do a comedy show. And the last time I did it, it truly like hit me in a cinematic cartoonish way mid set. Like I was normal, normal, normal. And I have no idea really if I remembered what I was supposed to say that show.
Sam Taglio
I will. Sorry, now we're getting in the weeds. I did actually love being high for that one. That one was fun. Well, the talk was hits, right? And I can be really kooky, like, and, like, not really focus on the material, but focus on.
Jason Stewart
Well, I think. I think all it is is like when you're in the middle of the set and it goes. And they start laughing, then it's good. But then as soon as you say one thing that you thought was gonna kill and you get crickets, that's when it's over. The marijuana psychosis floors you. Now you're.
George Severis
Are you cali. Sober or engaging in other substances as well?
Jason Stewart
Does it all, baby.
George Severis
Does it all.
Jason Stewart
What is it like a pill popper, but I smoke weed.
George Severis
Prison sober. Across the board, yes. What is it like being in a mixed. Sober.
Jason Stewart
Well, him and I used to intake, partake together all the time. He's been sober for, I think, eight years now. So he sort of gets to live vicariously through me. He can make fun of me when I smoke a quarter of a joint and he'll call me a pussy because he would smoke a whole blonde back in the day, you know? So it's kind of like when you have grandkids and then you could tell your kid, like, changing diapers is tough, isn't it? Now you're a real man kind of thing.
George Severis
Yeah, sure, sure.
Jason Stewart
The best part, he can drive me home.
Sam Taglio
Oh, that's.
George Severis
Oh, that is really nice to have.
Jason Stewart
You on the way home from the tower.
George Severis
Yeah, we don't have a window. We don't have that.
Sam Taglio
No, because George doesn't drive.
George Severis
Will end because we're both drunk.
Jason Stewart
Well, that was one of my multiple straight isms is driving.
Sam Taglio
It's a real.
George Severis
You're to give us your list and we're going to give you the floor.
Jason Stewart
We only have an hour.
Sam Taglio
Give us the list.
George Severis
Jason, we said. What's your straight topic? You said, I have eight or nine. Would you like to read?
Jason Stewart
Well, only I wrote a bunch down because I figured that I wrote fishing down and I realized you guys have probably done that, so half of them have probably already been done.
George Severis
That's totally fine.
Jason Stewart
So that's why we've.
George Severis
We've done things twice accidentally in the.
Sam Taglio
Past, and people get mad at us for it.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, but also, this is bullshit. I'm a. I'm a subscriber, and you guys did a repeat on fishing.
Sam Taglio
You did that three years ago, actually, so could you not do that?
Jason Stewart
But, yeah, Driving. You guys.
Sam Taglio
Give us the whole list.
George Severis
Yeah, give us the whole list.
Jason Stewart
Okay. Okay. Driving, fishing, cryptocurrency. Yeah, but then my friend was like, it's kind of trans to be into crypto, though. Well, what are your thoughts?
George Severis
I mean, but you.
Jason Stewart
Is it trans to be into crypto?
George Severis
But I think what you're saying, the idea that it's trans to be into crypto, you could say that about any futuristic technology, anything like electronics. Do you know what you're talking about? You're talking about the Wachowski sister.
Sam Taglio
Literally, you're thinking of the Matrix.
George Severis
The Matrix is trans. AI is trans. Like crypto is trans.
Sam Taglio
Because crypto, you're thinking like you're entering the computer, like that's the Matrix.
George Severis
Like, the whole thing.
Jason Stewart
I didn't know that there was such a trans.
Lenovo Ad Voice
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
Electric connection.
George Severis
DJ is trans.
Sam Taglio
DJ is trans. Yeah.
George Severis
Like anything electronic or cyber. Yeah, cybernetics.
Jason Stewart
Okay, so it's. So it has like some of the hard work hobbyist ethic of a lesbian deck builder, but then you add the tech element into it when it becomes.
George Severis
Just like the futuristic. It's like futuristic and like a better world.
Sam Taglio
Building a new society, future world where.
Jason Stewart
My people are maybe in charge. You know what I mean?
George Severis
Well, maybe not.
Jason Stewart
You're who run the world.
Sam Taglio
I think. Speaking as a trans person.
George Severis
Oh, oh, sorry. I didn't realize you were speaking as a trans person. Please go on. I didn't mean to talk over you. I didn't realize you were speaking as.
Sam Taglio
A trans person, so.
Jason Stewart
But 13 minutes in my first time where I start talking as in the trans.
Sam Taglio
No, no, no.
Jason Stewart
That was a joke. Okay.
Sam Taglio
Thank God. I was like, whoa.
Jason Stewart
Joining ice?
George Severis
Yeah, that's pretty straight. Wow, you went political with that one.
Sam Taglio
I didn't expect that from you.
Jason Stewart
Do you guys know any gay guys who have joined ice?
Sam Taglio
To be fair, I don't know anyone.
Jason Stewart
Have you heard of anyone in the community?
George Severis
You know what?
Jason Stewart
No hairy guys? No. ICE members? No, no.
George Severis
But under 511, what you're saying is very. Is very perceptive because gay guys do become, for example, police officers or like other tools of the state. It's not like they.
Jason Stewart
Half the military is good.
George Severis
Exactly. Military.
Sam Taglio
My first threesome to Boston Cops.
Jason Stewart
Don't shush him. When I said Boston Strong, you're like, oh, yeah.
Sam Taglio
I was like, oh, God.
George Severis
Well, that is literally. Your type is Boston Cops.
Sam Taglio
They kept calling. We were. Their hotel was on. They kept handcuffing you and they kept calling it diversity. And I was like, diversity. It's like, it's diversity. Anyway, keep going. But okay. I'm actually surprised that, like, the Trump administration hasn't Tried to do, like, games with, like, some of these ICE members are gay.
George Severis
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Like, that seems like that's a game. Like, you know that.
George Severis
Like, that PR move.
Sam Taglio
Like, to be like.
George Severis
Well, there's.
Sam Taglio
Some of them are gay. Pink washing, Pink Washington. But they are past that in a weird way.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. Like, I have a cousin who's gay. I can talk about it. Like, that kind of thing.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
I have a sister who's a nice member. Now what?
Sam Taglio
Now what?
Jason Stewart
Spending time in the garage jogging. Jogger pants.
George Severis
Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Jogger pants.
Jason Stewart
Jogger pants.
Sam Taglio
Jogger pants.
Jason Stewart
Can't wear. If you see a gay guy wearing jogger pants, stay away.
George Severis
Well, just came out.
Sam Taglio
They're also literally cruising. If a gay guy is in jogger pants, it's a sexual act.
George Severis
Wait, what do you mean?
Sam Taglio
I mean, like, he's not wearing underwear. He's showing the goods, and it's like, he's, like, going on the trail to, like, have easy access to whip it out.
George Severis
Oh, so for you, jogger pants is about.
Jason Stewart
That's. We're talking about like, a. Like a vuori pant that Bill Simmons would wear when he's going to Phil's coffee in the morning with his leisure pant, Right?
Sam Taglio
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they're wearing it to cruise that. Literally. That's what I.
Jason Stewart
Have you ever worn a jogger pant with no underwear in a wind. In a windy area? Thanks for considering it.
Sam Taglio
I have. You know, back in my New York days, of course, when you're going out to walk the dog and you're just like, let me just quickly. I'll put on a thin sweatpant with no underwear and take control.
George Severis
A thin sweatshirt.
Sam Taglio
And I always say, you know, I want people to be doing this for me. I want to be able to see. So I'll give them a little show, too.
George Severis
Give back.
Sam Taglio
Give back to the community.
Jason Stewart
Okay. Even if it's cold. Kanye West.
George Severis
Oh, that's a good one.
Jason Stewart
The enjoying of Kanye West.
George Severis
Well, that's complex, though. It's complex. I was actually recently listening to the song he did with Brandy. Talk about our love. Underrated track.
Sam Taglio
I mean, you know that one?
Jason Stewart
I don't think so, Jason. I mean, I'm sure if I heard it, I would recognize it, but I don't remember Kanye and Brandi.
George Severis
Great video.
Jason Stewart
Known murderers. Murderer.
Sam Taglio
What?
Jason Stewart
Sorry. Brandi killed someone, right?
George Severis
Yeah, she did.
Sam Taglio
Wait, she did?
George Severis
It wasn't her fault, okay?
Jason Stewart
It was. I did recently.
George Severis
I was recently talking. I was like, no, that. Well, wow. Matthew Broderick.
Jason Stewart
Folks, look, they've all killed, and it was a long time ago.
George Severis
Fuck Mary, kill Brandy Matthew Broderick, Caitlyn Jenner. Go.
Jason Stewart
Who's your vehicular top five? Yeah, Vehicular manslaughter.
George Severis
I guess that's a pretty easy one. You would probably fuck Brandi, Mary Matthew Broderick and kill Caitlyn Jennifer.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, that's it.
Sam Taglio
Wow, that's nice.
George Severis
Then I would do the same, I guess.
Jason Stewart
Wow. You know me. Okay. Poly Market.
George Severis
Yes. Wait, that's good.
Sam Taglio
So that's like sports betting, but also.
George Severis
Betting on other things.
Jason Stewart
Betting on natural disasters, political regime change, sports celebrities.
George Severis
Not to bring this up again, but I was recently watching the Golden Globes from the overflow room at the Beverly Hilton, and they had various screens. Yeah, I wasn't allowed into the real show, but.
Jason Stewart
How's the food? Oh, you didn't get any. Got it.
George Severis
There was food in the overflow. It was mostly cheese cubes. And then there was a buffet that.
Jason Stewart
Had some boom chicka pop, little shot.
George Severis
Glasses of tomato soup with little grilled cheeses that you cut.
Jason Stewart
That is such a great hors d'.
George Severis
Oeuvre.
Sam Taglio
Yum, yum.
George Severis
So anyway, they had screens showing the show, obviously. Giant screen, bigger than all of them. Polymarket predictions for the categories. Because polymarket was a sponsor of the Globes.
Sam Taglio
Oh, that's. I heard about the predictions thing.
George Severis
So here's.
Jason Stewart
Wait, this is all Peter Thiel.
George Severis
Is your list, Is it? Do you have more?
Jason Stewart
I'm halfway done.
George Severis
Okay. Because I have more.
Jason Stewart
I had fishing, mating.
Sam Taglio
Like the books. Oh, like.
Jason Stewart
Like two people having sex and creating a child.
George Severis
Like reproducing, reproduction, reproductive sex. Mating, Mating, mating.
Jason Stewart
So you can dance, you can have, you know, an embryo and a sperm and, you know, create life. But the act of mating. Maybe we should cut this.
George Severis
No, no, no, no. I like it. Go ahead. Grok.
Jason Stewart
Well.
George Severis
Yeah. Yeah, that's good.
Jason Stewart
Gay guys don't grok.
George Severis
Gay guys do not grok.
Jason Stewart
You like to think that you're better than Grok.
Sam Taglio
Well, it's like I can't even imagine being on the same level as Grok. Like, to me, that is just like, I can't Grok should abandon myself. Brogan's cock.
George Severis
That's you.
Jason Stewart
Ooh.
Sam Taglio
Can it do that?
Jason Stewart
Seth in a bikini? You could do that.
George Severis
You probably could do that. And then you wouldn't have to buy those handwritten porns.
Sam Taglio
No, I want the hand drawn. Actually have looked on ebay for them because they are out of print and it's pretty hard to find.
George Severis
Well, especially now that he's so successful.
Sam Taglio
Well, he's probably got sued.
Jason Stewart
That's your funko pop.
George Severis
No on polymarket. People are bullish on the Seth Rogen porn. All right, look it up, look it up. Okay.
Jason Stewart
I think that's. I mean, that's it. I think that's ish.
George Severis
Do you want to. Can you actually go top to bottom, just all the way through? And I won't interrupt you. I want to hear the list one more time.
Jason Stewart
Okay. Driving, cryptocurrency, parentheses, trans, joining ice. Spending time in the garage. Jogger pants, Kanye West, Poly market fishing, mating Grok. And then I guess one other one. Audio only podcasts. Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. Which you are.
George Severis
Which you have one.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. And I'm straight.
George Severis
So, you know, don't you think your podcast. Don't people. But your podcast is so, like, queer baity.
Jason Stewart
That's right.
George Severis
I wouldn't call your podcast straight. Like, I think a straight podcast is, like, smart list.
Sam Taglio
No, you guys get to have your cake and eat it too. Yeah. Where you, like, get to be straight and then you also get to be gay, baby. And it doesn't diminish your straight. I'm like, how do you get to.
George Severis
Baby Makes you more straight.
Jason Stewart
Well, I think it's because there's. There's like gay baiting with good and bad energy or intentions. There's like, I want a gay bait to get more rich and famous and successful. You know, whatever it takes. Yeah, we, we, Chris and I, just. The people that we like are often gay and they're often more funny, entertaining, clever, just fun to talk to in general. So we're more naturally disposed to want to make them, you know, think that we're also fun and cool and charming.
Sam Taglio
You know, it really is an amazing mixture that you can talk about both the Joe Budden podcast and Addison Rae in the same episode. Yeah.
George Severis
With Olivia Nuzzy.
Sam Taglio
You guys really have it all.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, With Nuzzy, no doubt.
George Severis
Huh?
Sam Taglio
Yeah. That was crazy.
George Severis
That was crazy.
Jason Stewart
Look, she didn't give us everything we wanted, but what are you gonna do? I think she's a genius, though. Really? I think she's like, like a Lana Del Rey level. Like psycho genius.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, no, that chick's out where, like.
Jason Stewart
Everyone thinks she's not. But then, like, you ask, like, Courtney Love and three other iconic people, and they're like, no, she's a genius. And you're like, I think I have to believe that.
Sam Taglio
Did any of those topics speak to you to discuss most?
George Severis
Well, I do Think Polymarket feels especially relevant right now because it's such a huge shift in the culture that everything is sports betting. And from what I understand, and don't correct me from what I understand, because the Trump administration is so pro crypto. Polymarket and a lot of things like that are based on crypto, and that's one of the big reasons why they're just suddenly completely legal. And think the fast. Well, anyway. What. How about you?
Sam Taglio
I'm going to talk about that one.
George Severis
Okay, well, how long do you have.
Jason Stewart
A favorite until, like, RuPaul's Drag Race, like, who's going to win? It's already on polymer.
George Severis
It's already on Polymark.
Jason Stewart
Okay, well, then don't you think you.
George Severis
Can look up anything?
Jason Stewart
I. I mean, people have to create the. The bet. I think so.
Sam Taglio
Like, sniffies.
Jason Stewart
Like, they'll create, like, general ones, like, who's going to win the super bowl? Or whatever. But then people can create and submit their own, like, will this happen before this deadline? Or whatever. But what I want, which could happen in the future, is to invest in people as stocks. So when Addison Rae first comes out, or you hear the record before and you're like, this is going to be big. I'm going to dump. I'm going to buy $10,000 worth of Addison Rae stock. And then in 10 years, when she's on SNL and playing the super bowl, cash in, I'm rich.
Sam Taglio
Wow.
George Severis
Well, what you're describing is, like, all of us have one skill, and it's sort of like reading the vibe. And you're like, what? Why can't we monetize? Yeah, it's time to monetize. And it's like, there are a few ways you can monetize. You can monetize it by, like, being a sort of vague creative where it's like, okay, you're a comedian, you're a podcaster, you're a creative director. But, like, that's not quite it. You want to be really rewarded for being like, you know, Sabrina Carpenter was flop, flop, flop, flop, flopping. But this one. But this one.
Jason Stewart
Well, this. This is going to be the only job in the not too distant future. Unless you're one of the people that Poly Market is talking about. Yeah, you. You're only. The only job is going to be just betting with other people and trading money with everyone else, because AI is going to destroy every job not to go off. AI destroying jobs is very straight, isn't it?
George Severis
Well, talking about panic, about AI destroying jobs is very. I mean, it Is correct, I guess. But it is also. It is also very straight.
Sam Taglio
Well, I think on the other end of that, sometimes, I think resistance, not. I. I don't use AI And I, like, don't want to.
George Severis
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
But I think, like, being like, we can stop this, y'.
George Severis
All.
Sam Taglio
It's like, that's no where. It's like, no. Like. Like, I can't even believe that.
George Severis
Well, some.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. But you also still have to fight. Even if you don't think you're going to win. You.
George Severis
You.
Jason Stewart
You.
George Severis
You do have to fight.
Jason Stewart
You want to die with your boots on. You know what I mean?
Sam Taglio
True, true, true, true, true.
George Severis
Sometimes I do laugh when someone who I know to be a complete dumbass is like, AI is erasing everything that's human about us. I'm like, honestly, you, though, could be replaced by an AI, not you.
Jason Stewart
I'm not really worried about my whole thing, but you.
Sam Taglio
You gotta be shaking.
George Severis
I'm like, wait, so what is your job? Okay, so at the most, just in terms of theorizing why polymarket is straight, if I may sort of put forth the most obvious thing, which is, like, it is very straight to make everything into numbers. Like, just at the most basic level, it's very straight to be like. I don't want any vague. I don't want to deal with any vague.
Jason Stewart
Gay people don't like data.
George Severis
No. Well, this is. It's complicated. But I think generally speaking, gay people are, you know, like a vibe, like ambiance. And then straight people, it's like. It's very much like Jack Donaghy putting on the glasses where he sees everyone is worth a price. Which, by the way, is what you're advocating for with your Addison Rae idea.
Jason Stewart
No, no, but it's a feeling. It's something that you can't put into words. It's something you can't quantify with numbers. I have the gift.
George Severis
Ultimately, it's like, arts and humanities, gay, Math and science, straight. I don't even really believe that because.
Jason Stewart
I'm all about equality. So I think those lines are blurred now.
George Severis
Of course.
Sam Taglio
Of course. But even, like, when. When people say how good a movie is based on how much money it made, like, they're like, this movie is good because it made $100 million. And I'm like, but that doesn't mean it's good.
George Severis
You know what else doesn't mean it's good? That it has a good Rotten Tomatoes score.
Sam Taglio
Literally.
George Severis
But you know what a gay person would say? Richard Brody's review, like, really Made me think. And he recently actually loved Kristen Stewart's directorial debut. You're gonna see Chronology of Water. What do you think?
Jason Stewart
I'll probably. If it's on Delta, I'll watch it. I don't know if that's gonna be an imax.
George Severis
I would love to see the Chronology of Water.
Jason Stewart
When do you think movie theaters are going to be done? That's a good poly market, huh?
George Severis
Definitely.
Jason Stewart
Let's get going.
Sam Taglio
It's so betting starts now.
George Severis
I mean, I guess I need to leave New York and LA to properly answer that question. Because my response based on my own experience is I keep thinking they're done. And yet why is every movie I try to see sold out? Do you know what I mean? I saw no other choice yesterday, Thursday night, not even that big of a hit. I was sitting Far left, row 27 LA.
Sam Taglio
You can really never tell.
George Severis
But then New York too, one time. Do you remember the movie she said which is about the Harvey Weinstein story? It's about the.
Jason Stewart
Did you that in the theaters?
George Severis
I didn't. Cause it was sold out. My mom was visiting. Good luck getting My mom was visiting New York. We go by the way, I had read that morning that it is a historic flop. No one's watching it. No one cares about Carey Mulligan as what's her whatever. That's a New York Times reporter. So I'm like, all right, this is a movie my mom would like. I know it's not going to be sold out. Cobble Hill Cinema is the only movie theater in the entire world where she said was sold out.
Jason Stewart
And you chose to live there.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, yeah.
George Severis
And I. So I have not. I'm seeing that film yet.

Aren't people always going to want to go to a place like theoretically? Don't for magic. We don't need coffee shops anymore. Everyone can have Talking about a third space? Basically I'm talking about a third space.
George Severis
Yeah. Do you think Eataly is a third space? I saw some.
Sam Taglio
What's your favorite third space? Mine's my gym.
Jason Stewart
My favorite third space is my barbershop.
Sam Taglio
Really?
George Severis
You have great hair.
Jason Stewart
Thank you.
George Severis
You know, I'm in the middle of growing my hair out and I haven't quite figured out the right thing and so I'm you have similar hair.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, it is very similar. If you put a little little product in there, do you feel like Bumble.
George Severis
And Bumble Sumo tech?
Jason Stewart
Because that's what people haven't Heard that name in years.
George Severis
Sweetie, what are you using?
Jason Stewart
I use beef tallow.
George Severis
Oh, my God. I went through a huge beef tallow phase. But on my face, not on my hair.
Jason Stewart
A little bit of. If it gets on the hair, so be it.
George Severis
You know Sky High Farms?
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
George Severis
Yeah, I think so.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Wow.
Jason Stewart
But you don't tallow anymore. I. Was there an incident?
George Severis
No, I actually just sort of.
Jason Stewart
Not.
George Severis
But I like it. I had the tomato leaf scented one. Is that the one you have?
Jason Stewart
I don't have that one, but I've used it before.
George Severis
Okay, so that for your hair. Interesting. You really can do anything with beef tallow.
Jason Stewart
But I mean, also, put a hat on. Like get out of the shower. Put a hat on.
George Severis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jason Stewart
And just set it and forget it. That's always been my hair philosophy.
George Severis
Baseball cap or like, like beanie?
Jason Stewart
Baseball cap or beanie in the winter.
George Severis
Okay. Baseball caps freaks me out, cuz. What if you have ridges from like. Oh, tough.
Jason Stewart
Nobody said it was easy, man. Okay, what were we talking about?
George Severis
Movies. Poly Market when our movie theaters dying. And what's your favorite third space? And is it.
Jason Stewart
Oh, yeah. I like the barber shop because it's the last place where I can have IRL locker room talk.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. You get to really be like, grab her by the.
Jason Stewart
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I would never say like this.
Sam Taglio
Like this.
George Severis
Yeah. Is that. Y' all know the thing you're talking about? Boobs are like this is like this.
Jason Stewart
I mean, you're doing your barber, but.
Sam Taglio
Is it just me or our boobs like this?
Jason Stewart
We. We don't say stuff exactly like that. But the kind of thing where there's no women and children around and we could speak openly and freely with strangers. Like saying like a. An offensive thing with another man in the room that you've never met.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
It's exhilarating.
Sam Taglio
No, I bet that's freeing.
Jason Stewart
You know what I mean?
George Severis
And that's something I will never be able to experience just because of all my.
Jason Stewart
Maybe this person will cancel me. Like we were talking with. With Tod. Like, he'll be backstage at a. A comedy show.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
And he's about to say something and he'll look around and be like, I don't know. Half the. You know, half these kids are some 19 year olds who just got off the bus from Denver. I don't know if they're gonna tweet about me saying this and get me canceled. Yeah, same kind of thing.
Sam Taglio
I used to go to this barber in Greenpoint and he was always Trying to get me to do sex, straight sex talk. And like, he was really getting in there. And it was like, I didn't want to break. First of all, I didn't want to be like, I'm gay. But I also didn't want.
George Severis
I'm gonna stop you right there. I'm gay. I'm gay.
Sam Taglio
And I also didn't want to like. But I honestly felt bad that I was like, damn, I bet you're like, why isn't this hitting, Like, I'm hitting him with my best material of like, pussy's like this. Boobs are like this. And this guy is not.
Jason Stewart
But what is he responding at all? I mean, if I would not want my barber to talk like that to me.
Sam Taglio
I thought that's what you liked.
George Severis
No, he likes doing offense slurs, like offensive.
Sam Taglio
Oh, non sexual.
Jason Stewart
Just offensive a little bit. But not like graphic detail. Detail of like, hey, have you ever done this sexually? And then expect the person who I'm cutting to be like, that's awesome. I also love breasts, whatever it may be, you know, like that. That type of convo I'm not interested in having.
Sam Taglio
Interesting.
Jason Stewart
And I don't think most straight people.
George Severis
Because you do also have convo with.
Jason Stewart
Another man, jokes to say. So I feel like he was trying to.
Sam Taglio
Well, when. When I was a mover. Tell you what, those straight guys really want to make each other horny.
George Severis
Did you know Sam used to be a mover?
Sam Taglio
I used to be a mover.
Jason Stewart
Literal or metaphorical?
George Severis
Literal, like in a movie, lifting things. Only gay guy on the job basically.
Sam Taglio
Hiding back in the closet. They weren't that long mad if they.
Jason Stewart
Knew you were hiding in the literal closet, the master primary bedroom closet.
Sam Taglio
But those guys, all day, every day, it was just like, damn, this girl's so hot. Fuck, look at that ass. Oh, my God, I want to fuck. Like, they were so.
Jason Stewart
You know, when I was. When I was in middle school, high school, you know, that kind of stuff went down. But I feel like once I got older, I mean, just saying, I know that, like, women talk more openly about that kind of stuff, but, like, I just. I don't want to if I don't want to hear about my best friend's girlfriend's pussy. You know what I mean? Like, I'm sure it's great, but, like, it's just, what am I gonna do with that?
George Severis
Interesting.
Sam Taglio
I've never heard this, and I don't.
Jason Stewart
Want to tell my. Yeah, my best homie, yo, I was hitting my wife last night and her ass Was so fucking good, you know?
George Severis
Like, totally. But I think you're pointing to something.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, I know she's hot.
George Severis
It's kind of like counterintuitive, but so true.
Sam Taglio
It makes more sense.
George Severis
Women actually talk more objectify.
Jason Stewart
Women describe the.
George Severis
Yes.
Jason Stewart
Very detailed information about penises and things.
George Severis
Like that in a way men don't. About, like, men in, like, committed relationships.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, no, it's like, oh, your girlfriend's really nice. I had a lot of fun with her at dinner. What are. Just describe what her breasts are nude. How big is her pussy? You know what I mean? Like, no one you would say, what the fuck are you talking about? And women are just like. Well, it's. I think it's like 6.6.
Sam Taglio
You know, I haven't brought the ruler, but I think I can sneak it in that I'm, I'm honestly having. My mind is blown a bit because you're, you're, you're, you're myth busting right now. Yeah, because I thought that literally the moment straight guys were alone, they were like, no, literally, I thought the moment.
George Severis
Isn't that what you're doing?
Sam Taglio
I thought like, the door closes and then it's like a race to make each other as horny as possible via describing sex with their respective little Rogan cartoons.
Jason Stewart
This is a picture that you're hoping to paint.
George Severis
No, I actually don't think.
Jason Stewart
Here's what I really think. This does exist with people who are in high school, closeted gay, or just like, incels who are trying to hide the fact that they aren't actually looking at naked brain breasts. Got it.
George Severis
I do think something that happens behind closed doors. I'll say this, I think there's actually more homophobia than sexism that happens behind closed doors. I think it's more likely that guys are saying that's so gay or something is gay, or calling their friend gay as a joke. I think there's much more of that than actual misogyny. Being objectifying women. That's the thing that is hidden from polite society that they're doing in the barber shop, in the locker room, whatever.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, like true misogyny doesn't really happen at all, period.
George Severis
I guess I never thought about it like that.
Jason Stewart
I mean, that's 2026. Like, the people that actually do that have been like, so swept under the rug of society that we don't even.
George Severis
That they're in the White House.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. Clock that chocolate. Yeah. I mean, but when's the last time you really hung out with a true misogynist for me, Danny Masterson. Well, you know, 15 years ago we would DJ together all the time.
Sam Taglio
Oh, okay. Oh, that's LA. I forgot.
George Severis
That's so rad. That's awesome that you DJ'd with Danny Masterson.
Sam Taglio
I'm trying to think the last time I hung out with a true misogynist.
George Severis
Let me see, let me.
Jason Stewart
But like it doesn't really like especially don't count 20, 26. But like, like even with like Gen z kids, like 18 year old kids hanging out at the skate park listening to Biba Doobie or whatever it is, taking mushroom gummies and one of the friends is like, dude, Billy, Ayla, you know, like talks.
George Severis
No, finish that sentence.
Jason Stewart
I shan't. I'm not gonna get clipped, bitch. But you know, says something toxic about a girl at school or like a must, you know. Yeah, I feel like the friend group is gonna be like, whoa, what are you saying, bro? I don't really think it happens. Interesting.
George Severis
I think much like everything, it's kind of more polarized. So there's like people on one end being like true violent misogynist incels and then people on the other end.
Jason Stewart
I'm talking about the non school motherfuckers.
George Severis
There's no like. I think what there's less of, honestly is like the center of.
Jason Stewart
It's the destruction of the middle class of misogyny. The top and the bottom.
George Severis
Like the casual misogyny of like literally being like that chick.
Jason Stewart
You're either in the White House or in the penitentiary completely. Everything in the middle, zero misogyny.
Sam Taglio
That is so interesting.
George Severis
And so the question of course becomes is that better or worse? Like is there. If you add it all up, it's worse.
Jason Stewart
We need a middle class, we need.
George Severis
A middle class economy.
Jason Stewart
Misogyny, all of it.
George Severis
Homophobia.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
George Severis
Okay, so on Polymarket, when do you think middle class misogyny.
Jason Stewart
Also, what's more straight than being poly, right?
George Severis
Well that is true. Why is it called.
Sam Taglio
Why is it called Polymarket?
George Severis
Polymarket is a horrible name because it's.
Jason Stewart
All the market markets.
George Severis
What's the other one? Kashi. No, that's a protein.
Jason Stewart
Kalshi. Kalshi, which is like.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
What's like Japanese dog food? You know, like what is that?
George Severis
Literally.
Jason Stewart
But yeah, I want, I want to have stock in people.
George Severis
I think that's a really good idea. And to be perfectly honest, you could make that happen.
Jason Stewart
And also to be able to short people like Stan Armies will be able to shortly other people and you could invest. I'm Like, I'm gonna short Azalea Banks because I think in 2026, she's gonna finally cross the line with the Israel stuff. And then, boom, I got my house in Palm Springs paid for. You know what I mean?
George Severis
Oh, yeah.
Jason Stewart
Fuck it.
Sam Taglio
Oh, my God. I do want to. This is off topic. The driving as a topic I actually am curious about because now that I've been in LA for two years, I'm sort of like. I'm actually good at driving. And it's. It makes me feel like less of a gay guy.
Jason Stewart
Well, when you're driving, especially a group of people, you become daddy.
Sam Taglio
You become daddy and you start dad.
Jason Stewart
You're by default.
Sam Taglio
You're like, you guys be quiet. No, the music needs to be a little lower.
Jason Stewart
And you also get into a little bit. I'm gonna get you guys home safe tonight. You know what I mean? And that is nothing more daddy than that.
George Severis
Well, unfortunately, the opposite is also true as someone who doesn't drive, which is that I become baby when I is constantly being driven around, which is gay. Which is why it's Daddy straight.
Jason Stewart
That's the clip, guys.
George Severis
That's the clip.
Sam Taglio
Do you have anything you're baby about?
George Severis
Yeah. What are you baby about?
Jason Stewart
I'm not really baby about anything, I would say. I mean, when I get sick and my wife takes care of me, then it's nice to get into a little.
George Severis
Like, phantom thread situation.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. Do you think she ever poisons you so that you have to be baby?
George Severis
Yeah, maybe.
Jason Stewart
But like, when. When I'm, like, laying on the couch watching TV and I'm feeling kind of sick and she'll.
George Severis
You're watching Drag Race betting on polymarket.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, I'm watching. I'm watching below deck. I'm watching Drag Race. I'm betting on the Clipper Game, and she's like, do you want some tea? And brings me a blanket, I'm like, this is baby time.
George Severis
Wow.
Jason Stewart
But otherwise, not really.
George Severis
This is baby.
Sam Taglio
This is baby time.
Jason Stewart
I mean, when I'm sitting, like, in Delta 1, if I get the upgrade, that's baby time.
George Severis
Oh, yeah.
Jason Stewart
I have the little. The blankets pulled up to my neck and like. Can I have another ginger?
Sam Taglio
No. That's a really great point. Is that, like, for straight guys to have to drive all the time and have to be Daddy?
Jason Stewart
Yeah. Yeah.
Sam Taglio
Then the only time they get to be baby and transport is when they're on the land. Yeah.
Jason Stewart
I don't want to breastfeed. I want to be on the teat every once in A while.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
Of course.
George Severis
They should have little breastfeeding bars. Breastfeeding bars for straight guys where there's just, like, a bunch of silicone.
Jason Stewart
I just remembered one more thing on the list, which could be a good shout out for the end of the episode, though.
Sam Taglio
Do you want to save it?
George Severis
Do you want to save it? We think of ours on the spot. I literally don't know what mine will be, so there's no pressure for you.
Jason Stewart
Is it time or. No, it's time.
Sam Taglio
Do we start?
George Severis
Oh, God, bro.
Jason Stewart
I wish there was a producer here that could tell us.
Sam Taglio
I think we have, like, five to ten more minutes, but.
George Severis
Yeah, no, we're not. We're not done yet. You're not going to get off that easy.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. This is what we mean by usurping. Yeah.
George Severis
Suddenly you're in charge.
Jason Stewart
I don't have any.
George Severis
You want to be baby so bad. Now's your chance. Sit down and do what we tell you.
Jason Stewart
Me want podcasts now.
Sam Taglio
No, it doesn't even work. There's something.
George Severis
Doesn't work.
Sam Taglio
It doesn't work.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, it doesn't work.
Sam Taglio
It's crazy.
Jason Stewart
I can't. Not daddy. You guys.
George Severis
Well, is it difficult. Sorry? To bring up your height. Is it difficult for you to be baby as a very tall man?
Jason Stewart
Very hard, yeah. Very, very hard. Almost never.
Sam Taglio
When I'm around, like, three guys who are all taller than me, I'm like, this is like. Like I'm a child.
George Severis
I know. Well, when I'm around anyone who's taller than me, I'm a child.
Sam Taglio
If it's one person, I can handle it. Because I'm like, look at us. Different perspectives. But if it's three people, then I'm like, I'm weird.
Jason Stewart
One bear, easy. Three bears.
Sam Taglio
Now suddenly, yeah, I'm prey.
Jason Stewart
They say as soon as you have more dogs than you have hands to hold the leash on, that's when it becomes too much. Same thing with the bear. You're over at the Eagle. You got one in front of you, One on the left, one on the right. Now what?
Sam Taglio
I got to say something that's mostly humiliating for me, but when you went to the Mariah Carey event at the Eagle, I was so upset. I said, even straight guys are getting to go to the Mariah Carey. Was jealous.
Jason Stewart
The word.
Sam Taglio
I was jealous. I was deeply jealous. And I said, how am I not making enough noise? Select straight.
Jason Stewart
Select straights are to be invited to the.
Sam Taglio
Was it Interview magazine?
George Severis
What was it?
Jason Stewart
It was. Yeah.
Sam Taglio
I was like. Cause at first I was like, private event of the Eagle. What's going on?
George Severis
Well, we went to the Butt magazine party at the New York Eagle, but there was no pop stars in attendance.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
Is a little far from me. I feel like me that's maybe a.
George Severis
Little like owned by Bottega Veneta or something now. No, I mean, I've been in a.
Jason Stewart
Lot of gay spaces, but at a certain point, you're. It's kind of like, yeah, what am I doing here?
George Severis
Yeah, yeah.
Jason Stewart
I mean, what you.
Sam Taglio
What'd you think of the Eagle?
Jason Stewart
I mean, it was. I mean, it didn't really count because it was like, it was a private. There were like, just as many women there as. As guys. And, you know, it was a little more. We're gonna. It's safe time play. Yeah, you could tell. But I liked the way they ran the show. Like, it was good to be in a bar where it felt like a bar did like in the 80s or something like that.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
Where like, the bartender has like a personality and will talk to you. Is wearing a jock strap and roller skates, but, like, they're like wiping down the bar. Like, hey, what are you having? All right, cool. You go to a straight person's bar and they're just like, completely.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
George Severis
I actually think, regardless of the act, visual markers of like, jock strap, literally someone getting blown in the corner. If you ignore all that, it's actually as straight as the bar from Cheers. Like, to go to a actual, like a divey gay bar. Like, that is the. Those are the only bars that still exist that have the ethos of the old times small town bar.
Jason Stewart
Y' all be drinking more like just regular beers than at straight bars. Like, if I go to like a straight bar, let me get a beer. They're like, what? But like, I'm like, let me get a Bud Light at the Eagle. Like, here we go.
George Severis
Yeah, completely.
Sam Taglio
Yeah. It actually is crazy how much beer is being drank at the Eagle. I actually am always like, I'll have a teala soda. And I feel like I'm a flop loser because of it.
Jason Stewart
Well, then bears. Bears and beer go together. That's if you don't really care about your. How many abs you have. You know, it's true. Visible abs.
George Severis
We do care about.
Sam Taglio
We care.
George Severis
Yeah, but I'm up to 12. How about you?
Jason Stewart
Yeah, well, I'm not a bear, so I don't know.
George Severis
Well, yes, bears don't.
Jason Stewart
I have. No.
Sam Taglio
Really?
George Severis
That's crazy.
Sam Taglio
That's shocking.
Jason Stewart
I mean, they're somewhere.
George Severis
I asked you And Chris, if you guys would ever do a shirtless photo shoot to promote the pod, is the answer still no?
Jason Stewart
I guess eventually we would. With the. If it was for like, you know, Bruce Weber says get out of the fucking polo, then, you know, oh, I.
George Severis
Thought you were gonna go the opposite direction. Like, if it was in order to protect your ego, you would only do it if it was comedic or something like that.
Jason Stewart
Oh, no, I wouldn't want to do it comedic now.
George Severis
Like holding a rubber chicken.
Sam Taglio
So classic.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Taglio
I mean, it's so tough when we bring up the end to keep going. You know what I mean?
Jason Stewart
What is that? No, I don't know what you mean.
George Severis
The end. The. The concept of the podcast ending has been brought up.
Sam Taglio
So now all I think about the.
George Severis
Elephant in the room as we are.
Jason Stewart
Oh, I pop the balloon and the fantasy is over.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jason Stewart
All God good things come to an end. You know, you. You don't want to go down with the ship. You want to leave them wanting more, you know, so they could follow you on all platforms.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, follow us on all platforms.
Jason Stewart
Well, send me a wolf.
George Severis
Send Jason a woof.
Sam Taglio
Send Jason a wolf, everybody.
George Severis
Guys, come on. Send Jason a woof. The nice thing to.

Oh my God, that's never happened before. Okay, go.
Jason Stewart
Oh, I just remembered because my stomach just growled.
George Severis
So did mine were synced that.
Jason Stewart
But it reminded me of when I was listening to Ivy woke and you were reading yours and she just farts.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
And it was at that point where I was like, she, like, she knows that there's like five levels of comedy. Completely like five disciplines of it. And she did all of them. And the very end she's like, I'm just gonna fart during a serious part of the podcast.
George Severis
Genius.
Sam Taglio
That was so amazing.
Jason Stewart
Which is like.
George Severis
Gene. Yes.
Jason Stewart
Beyond Kaufmaness.
George Severis
Yes.
Jason Stewart
You know what I mean?
Sam Taglio
That was shocking.
Jason Stewart
Which is just so like, sorry I farted.
Sam Taglio
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
Like, because there's nothing like you're in a movie theater, nothing funnier in the world when somebody just does a giant fart during like a heart gut wrenching, you know, the crescendo of the whole film. You just hear a crazy loud one. The whole theater, children, grandmas, police, everyone is dying.
George Severis
No, you're so right that it's like showing what I don't like it Arsenal. It's like when I do like ethnic humor about like being Greek, I'm like, I could do that too. You guys thought I was. It was all. I was above it. No.
Sam Taglio
Oh, I'm right there in the dirt.
Jason Stewart
And get into the trenches. Okay, so the last one, which is a shout out to these people, women who own cyber trucks. Keep going. Imagine what it. There's 11 of them on planet Earth probably who. Who have a cybertruck registered in their name. Right. Not like their crypto husband bought it for them and she gets to drive it to Bristol Farms. I'm talking. She went to a dealership. She bought it, she owns it. What kind of person that must be. I want a documentary series, like a, like a love on the spectrum about all these people because they are all murderers. They're all like, do like weird, like gun sex stuff, you know? Yeah.
George Severis
It's all. It's very like, it's not quite this, but it's on the spectrum of like Lauren Boebert.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, like definitely. Gun owning, giving Tomb Raider for Halloween every year. Definitely.
Sam Taglio
They think they can like run over someone if they're threatened a little bit.
George Severis
Yeah.
Jason Stewart
And they almost want somebody to threaten.
Sam Taglio
Them a little bit to like confirm their worldview.
George Severis
Anti vax.
Jason Stewart
Stand my ground.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jason Stewart
Gorilla grip. Pussy. But nobody wants to fuck them. You know what I mean? The barbershops. Don't talking about.
George Severis
You have one.
Sam Taglio
Yeah, I do have one.
George Severis
I need to think of one.
Sam Taglio
You know what I have. Okay, whatever. What's up, freaks, losers and perverts around the globe. I want to give a huge shout out to the bartenders at the Eagle. That's right. These guys are nice as hell, some of them. I even know their first names. And we chat, we say, oh, how's your week? Oh, my God.
George Severis
God, good.
Sam Taglio
You know, I'm going out of town soon. Oh, my God, me too. Oh, did you see that movie? Yes, I saw that movie. It's really amazing to have community and hang out with a guy who's half naked and so sweet and friendly. It is actually crazy when you see it enough and you talk enough, you're like, it's crazy this was ever sexualized. These are just my friends. And now I go to the Eagle and I feel like I may as well be at sort of like a PTA meeting because we're just sort of talking about normal, normal things. It is a non sexual space for me. That's good and bad and I love it there. So shout out to the Eagle. Probably see you tonight. Xoxo Sam Woo.
George Severis
What's up, foodies? I want to give a shout out to Dave's killer bread. The worst bread I've ever tasted in my entire life that I have been eating more and more of. Because in this home that I'm staying in for a month, the only supermarket close to me doesn't have more artisanal bread. And I keep saying, okay, maybe this time it won't be as bad. Maybe this time it won't be as bad. You toast it, it, it's fully a piece of cardboard. You can throw it and kill someone if it lands on their face.
Jason Stewart
And yet you said the Albertsons.
George Severis
Yes, Albertsons.
Jason Stewart
And then we'll give you some bread solutions in the air.
Sam Taglio
Really?
Jason Stewart
Come on, bro.
George Severis
We'Re talking after the show. I feel like what is happening to me is that it's so bad that it's like a transcendent, almost monk like experience where I feel like I'm punishing myself in a way that also cleanses my spirit to have this disgusting bread every day. I almost leave it in the toaster oven long enough for it to become. Become fully rock hard before I eat it. And then I can feel, yes, saltine level crunch. I'm putting the. I can't find my favorite brand of cottage cheese. I'm putting disgusting watery cottage cheese.
Jason Stewart
So you're not getting any good culture.
George Severis
Not getting good culture. Can't find it in Albertsons. I am eating the most disgusting breakfast of all time. But then after I eat them, I'm saying I'm ready to start my day as a monk in a Christian nationalist community. And I am killing it left and right, professionally, personally and otherwise.
Sam Taglio
I do think I also, you know.
Jason Stewart
That Dave was a. Is a reformed criminal. It says it on the package. I don't remember what he did.
George Severis
I do think I knew. He also has a kind of classic bear look. He's like a hot like, bear like guy.
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
George Severis
Which is why.
Jason Stewart
And kind of Greekish.
George Severis
I know I will say the Dave's bagels, obviously they do not taste like real bagels, but I can get into them at least they're fluffy and.
Sam Taglio
Well, you talking about suffering does obviously open up a huge can of worms. Where I feel like, especially in la, I need some suffering. Like I have to feel like I have to have a horrible meal. I have to be like, well, this sucks, I hate this. But consume it anyway because it's just like there's too much smile, there's too much sun, there's Too much joy. And I'm like, let's bring it down a couple notches.
George Severis
You're not that.
Jason Stewart
No, no. That feels like user error. The longer you're here, the more you'll be able to design your life to have no conflicts or stress.
George Severis
It does feel like that's what you've achieved.
Jason Stewart
You just have to know.
George Severis
And then no friction.
Jason Stewart
You do get hit with suffering sometimes. Like, when I drive home today, I'll probably be stuck in traffic.
Sam Taglio
That's true.
Jason Stewart
But, like, is that what you're trying.
George Severis
To end the podcast? Yeah, that's definitely what you're doing.
Jason Stewart
No, no, I don't care. I have to go pick up a birthday cake after this in Echo Park. Quarter sheets.
George Severis
Oh, yes.
Sam Taglio
We had that on Friday.
George Severis
I keep. Wait, so they also have cake?
Jason Stewart
Yeah.
Sam Taglio
I have not had.
Jason Stewart
It's a husband and wife who own it. The husband's on the. The pizza savory side. The wife does all the. The cake making. But you know, on a good day, best pastry cakes in LA is one of the wrecks.
George Severis
One of the wrecks I got.
Jason Stewart
No, it's. It's crazy.
George Severis

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part? You won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org.

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Date: February 10, 2026
Hosts: George Civeris, Sam Taggart
Guest: Jason Stewart (How Long Gone Podcast)
This episode of StraightioLab welcomes Jason Stewart, co-host of How Long Gone, to explore the straightness of “Polymarket”—the exploding world of prediction markets powered by crypto—and a host of other “straight” topics (like driving, jogger pants, and barbershops). The trio discuss the cultural signifiers of straightness, the shifting boundaries between straight and queer-coded behaviors (and podcasts), and the allure, horror, and humor of betting on the outcome of, well, everything. The conversation weaves in-and-out of personal observations, pop culture, and the existential dread/joy of living in the 2020s.
Jason’s brainstormed list of "straight" topics (with discussion/mini-debates on each):
The banter is brisk, dry, and unapologetically referential. The conversation moves fluidly from niche pop-culture to surprisingly earnest sociological musings. Guests and hosts riff with self-aware irony, lampooning straight and gay cliches equally. There is a repeated willingness to complicate (and gently mock) identity-based binaries, straight culture’s obsessions with measurement and control, queer cultures’ focus on affect and vibe, and the increasingly blurred lines between these categories.
If you haven’t caught the episode, this summary captures the wild, unrefined laughter and moments of insight characteristic of StraightioLab. Whether you want to better understand why betting markets, driving, and barbershops are “straight,” or just want to hear three comedians spiral into self-aware tangents about woofing on Scruff, this one covers an impressive (and impressively silly) range.
Most essential segments:
Don’t miss:
Jason’s imaginative campaign for allowing people to “buy stock” in celebrities, his category-defying list of straight topics, and the closing “shoutouts,” featuring praise for both the bartenders at the Eagle and Dave’s Killer Bread.
End of summary—skip to [39:39] for the in-depth Polymarket segment, or to [59:12] for one of the cleverest discussions of driving and identity you’ll ever hear on a podcast.
