The Final Boss of Street Interviews | Sad Boyz 

forcing people to choose between economic stability and queer/women's rights is essentially showing their whole hand of "i am only capable of conceiving a world where people will suffer and i will decidedly not be in any of those groups (just how i am not in them now)"

Ponytail guy is my hero. The utter lack of fucks yet lack of tolerance for the interviewer is amazing.

He fucking broke him with that "I reject your question" This is the guy at your local game store who you prepare to die of cringe when they sit at your table, and then they turn out to be one of the chillest dudes you've ever met

Remember, we should respect the interviewers prounouns, so it's not "ponytail guy wrecked him," but "ponytail guy wrecked jesus." Or, "find got wrecked."

I don’t wanna be parasocial or anything, but I appreciate you guys so much. I recently got kicked out for calling out abuse at home and it being so near the holidays it’s been kinda rough. Seeing such emotionally mature and awesome people makes me feel so hopeful. Love listening to the pod and feeling less alone🫶 happy holidays boyz

Watching a street interviewer get destroyed by a Reddit gijinka was incredible

imagine being a child, excited to wear a fun new dress for your christmas photo and your father indirectly tells you he hates the sound of your voice and doesn't care for your opinions and your mother doesn't do anything about that

Honestly, ponytail guy is iconic. Also, if you ask someone an open ended question and you reply to their answer with "that's not a valid answer", I'm going to assume you're in the wrong

Ponytail guy literally LIVED the shower argument. Like, it happened to him in real time and he nailed it.

"My pronouns are find/Jesus" Literally a verb and a proper noun, but ok

Ponytail guy has the same energy as those videos of retail workers being ordered to get a manager, only for them to back away from the counter, walk back up to the counter, and go "Hi, I'm the manager, how's it going?"

I went to see The Color Purple in NYC back in 2016. I had read the book for school and didn't know what to expect going into the theatre, but it was incredible. I'm not black, but I am a lesbian who grew up Catholic, so there was still a lot to relate to. And Celie's whole story, even the parts I couldn't relate to, were beautiful and inspirational. The literal color, purple, does not represent royalty in the story lmao. One of my favorite quotes from the book explains it well: "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." Purple is a color that isn't seen a lot in nature, but the thesis of this quote is that God made that color so that we as humans could have something so beautiful. I'm really excited for the movie! I hope they do it justice.

Ten years ago when I was 19 and working at Jamba Juice a guy yelled at me cause we made the protein smoothies with soy milk and he was PISSED. Legit yelled at me claiming that I was trying to turn him into a woman. He’d been ordering them like once a week for a month and one day asked what milk we used and LOST it. I told him it was the only milk we had and he still ended up ordering it but I never saw him come back after that lmao

Actually the rat's name is Ratatouille's Monster

Funniest part about the debate thing is the obvious response from the interviewer would be something like, “obviously you can have both in real life, but we’re asking the question to get a sense of people’s values on campus” but that would just undermine what he was trying to do in the first place

I feel so bad for the little girls in that family photo. Not only are they going to internalize the idea that they are bothersome to their own dad but also can you imagine the bullying those kids might go through if people at their school see these. Like imagine trying to explain the photo concept to kids at your school or even worse your teachers .

the soy boy thing was always funny to me, as a trans woman I had heard about it and looked it up because trust me, I had hoped tofu made you grow titties. Sadly tho it doesn't, just like most beans don't make you grow titties. Shoutout to you guys recognizing Phyto-Estrogen isn't Estrogen. the name Phyto-Estrogen was given to the compound in plants pretty randomly, it's not even related to estrogen whatsoever and it doesn't do anything like Estrogen in a plant or animals

Honestly it is really nice to see that nobody is making fun of ponytail guy's appearance in all of this

Those Christmas cards are evil, their daughters probably think they aren't loved as much as their brother and that's just heartbreaking.

Jordan is right about the origin of the "soy boy" nonsense. It's especially hilarious because a lot of us trans women look toward foods high in estrogen as a potential source of viable estrogen, however you would have to consume an INSANE amount constantly for it to have any alteration of your estrogen/testosterone levels. So it's not a viable option.

As to why it's called "The Color Purple", I just finished re-reading it and it mentions it once in the book, but in the forward I read the author elaborates: purple, the color, is meant to represent god. Both are found everywhere in nature if you look hard enough, but every time you find it, it manages to be an unexpected surprise.

The concept of a rat going up to my old retail job and trying to pay for his food is terrifying.

ponytail guy is fuckin SICK and clapped that interviewer dude

I love how clearly the ponytail guy is doing that outfit by choice, because he has to know the joke. I would fear a man who knowingly dresses like that, he has more confidence than any human should

As a proper cowpolk I'm very disappointed that Jordan didn't greet us with a howdy today... smh

Discord mods like the ponytail guy get ruthlessly bullied while discord mods like the interviewer skirt by. We don’t need to bring back bullying, we need to change our target.

I’m old and independent, and both very aware of and somehow desensitized to constant misogyny from a life as a woman, but I cannot imagine consenting to that photo shoot at any age. Even as a kid, I would have thrown a fit.

I’m a family photographer and every year around Christmas I get people asking if they can do weird shit like that. I always say no I’m not comfortable with that but some people can be really pushy, you never know it could be the families idea, the photographer could have not known prior to them getting there and saying no in person is a lot harder than through email communication while booking. It’s tough but definitely putting your watermark on it and posting it is giving it your stamp of approval, really embarrassing that anyone things it’s okay.

i was on a Zoom training for my field and one of the presenters mentioned not really loving Taylor Swift and i have never seen so many people unmute at once, it was terrifying. the weight of massive fandoms is wild.

My mom gave my dad the “my favorite Disney villain is my wife” shirt and it’s actually really sweet because Disney villains are her favorites

The Taylor Swift NFL thing reminds me of Shakira and soccer. She recently broke up with her then-footballer ex, and hispanics everywhere booed him out and chanted her name through the stadium. He quit the team a few months later

The photoshoot while yeah the little boy is also a concern I’m more looking at the fact the daughters are now being conditioned to think they’re a burden and deserve this kind of treatment like even if these are stock photos those are real little children

it's not a coincidence that most of these "peace on earth!" guys happen to have, like, a daughter or two and then a younger son. they stopped at the son. they wanted a son and don't like their daughters because they aren't one

I love the fact that you both shop at the same mustache store.

"He is so dwarf fortress-coded" took me out. So accurate, so wonderful.

Love that most of the people in the tiktok comments saying "Economic stability all the way" most likely don't know shit about economics outside of a high school class lmao

not to absolutely coat you guys in semen or anything but your vids are funny

As someone who was raised in a very insular Christian environment I head the phrase “peace on earth, goodwill to men” a lot related to Christmas and it’s in at least a couple Christmas songs/hymns. In the context it was said as the thing Jesus brought or what he was sent to earth to achieve. “Peace on earth” in that culture is heavily associated with Christmas as like, god’s gift or his gift through Jesus to humanity. So I can see how the phrase was maybe brought up in a brainstorming for a Christmas photo shoot and then the misogyny just took over and now it’s like a viral Christmas photo trend for people with no sense of self awareness.

"i hate everything and shes bleeding me dry for this fucking mouse" would actually be such a good shirt

People lost their minds over the teddybear Balanciaga photoshoot but now Christians have decided to do something 100% worse for a whacky holiday card. Seriously? Gagging and tying up your daughter? Then sharing it for random strangers to see online? That will haunt those little girls forever.

Not to glaze y’all up but this was another great pod :)

the “i was inspired by the color purple” tiktok is so funny especially because the wig looks absolutely atrocious

00:08 JORDAN DOING THAT ADORABLE _“gooOOoold”_ WITH THAT LITTLE MIC SWING LITERALLY BRIGHTENED MY MORNING

1:35:00 I can 100% guarantee that if you try to approach a professor with this as your topic of research, they would laugh in your face and tell you to do something else.

You guys both misunderstood Ratatouille. It's not a movie about mice. It's about rats.

That last clip...I can't believe that he put #npc in the tags as though the _other_ guy were the one exhibiting the npc behavior. As though he weren't just reiterating a question when faced with an answer he wasn't expecting. Isn't giving an unexpected answer to a A or B question the _opposite_ of npc behavior? Do these people even know what an npc is??? Its not someone who gives a wrong answer or someone who disagrees with you. An npc in a video game couldn't give a 'both' option unless its a pre-prepared answer. To be clear: people in real life are not npcs. Calling people npcs is just a tactic to dehumanize political opponents, that's it. Presumably so that when the genocide and work camps come they can assure themselves that they aren't actually committing atrocities because you can kill Nazeem as many times as you want and there's nothing wrong with it.

Matt Bernstein did an interview with the mommy blogger who started gender reveal parties and she actually regrets it now.

would you rather have Men's Rights or have economic stability? You can't pick both. 😂

as a former screenprinter, y'all are giving these shirts waaay too much credit. those are definitely all just vinyl someone ironed on lol

That TikTok is the embodiment of, doing a book report without reading the book. "Become the woman she was destined to be"? She was basically writing the report based on the back cover. Lmao, this is ridiculous!

Ponytail guy pulled out a mirror force trap card on thus dork lol

Jarvis disassociating at 1:19:00 is very relatable. Just dealing with the same issues with takes that are repeated over and over and just being so tired. Thank you Jordan for pushing through, and no shame to Jarvis.

what was that guy's final? transphobia? he was also missing something in terms of comprehension in that conversation, guy just keep repeating the question waiting for a different answer

1:23:23 during my misogyny phase in high school (2008) i interviewed some of the most obnoxious untrustworthy girls at my school and got them to say terrible things about people. I clipped it into a 5 min video of their cruel answers and used that likely radically several other boys into using this malicious clip as "proof," girls are out to get you. It's depressing that dudes who are balding are still as emotionally developed as a drug addicted teenager

NBA lore dump: Gary Payton (the original) is called “the glove” because he was an exceptional defender for his era. He was notable for getting a ton of steals and staying on offensive players like “a glove”. I love that Anastasia is a Suns fan! We Arizona fans need to stick together cause of the pain!!!!!!!

“He’s so dwarf fortress coded” lmaoooooo I love it

Giannis is such a sweetheart 😭 he's regularly just around Milwaukee, visiting schools and businesses and spreading love. literally the reason I started following basketball was this awesomely talented, insanely tall angel of a Greek dude was constantly on the news for just being nice ❤

no one is talking about how hot jarvis looks with this specific moustache so i’ll be brave and start that conversation

I love this podcast because it’s rare coming across guys like you that are my age (24) with my point of view. And comparing your takes on things (specifically feminist based) to the guys in my hometown, gives me so much hope that there are normal men, with similar views to me out there, just unfortunatley not where I currently live ;(

u guys are absolutely bonkers today i love this. you wiggle those knees boys

“This kid sucks at doing a thumbs up. This is a thumbs to 1pm” made me lose it

dying at 12 years a guy

as a basketball addict i absolutely LOVE jarvis talking NBA lore. i do the same thing for my friends and they treat it like story time

One small note about soy/ soya milk: soy doesn't contain estrogen it contains phytoestrogen which doesn't have much activity with estrogen receptors... unlike estrogen, which dairy milk contains due to it coming out of pregnant cows. So soya milk doesn't contain estrogen, unlike dairy milk which does contain estrogen.

This conversation about basketball is so outside of my realm of typical interests, but how invested Jarvis and Anastasia are in explaining this has made me fascinated. Love hearing about what people are into

Reminder that a bunch of etsy is currently full with dropshipping stuff or stolen designs. Etsy isn't doing anything against it, so actual artists & vintage sellers get overthrown with fake versions of their own items

I am Charles, I was writing a comment but I have been called out and now must retire in shame.

i love jarvis’ overly cheery youtuber impression every time he does it

ponytail person is my favorite and I want to present them a single red rose of appreciation. The way the "find/jesus" guy or whoever edited the vid kept like zooming in on ponytail hero's hands fidgeting w his jacket pissed me off- it just feels like such a "look, this person is doing something weird, they're clearly weird and stupid" moment, like I'm not out here diagnosing anybody with neurodivergency or anything of course but it's so mean to make a point of somebody's "weird" little quirks or tics like dude, whats ur problem?? that you got destroyed in debate in like four words? shut upppp

I think that one with the neon green tape is altered. I think it was probably duct tape or some kind of painters tape (i know it comes in bright green as well but this looks overly saturated) - it even kinda looks like a small mouth mask. Which makes me think they saw the photo and said "hmm this doesn't look very festive, it looks a little too realistic" and solved it with some bright festive green masking... instead of scrapping the entire idea and reevaluating some life choices.

I absolutely love jarvis geeking out about basketball because I’m also just getting into watching and consuming basketball lore and stories. It feels like we’re on the same level of just starting to know the stuff and i just love it

the twin daughters point is so real. i'm a twin daughter and my biodad is genuinely evil he would SO propose one of these shoots if my parents were still together i'm not even reaching

I love the Ponytail! The fact that he doesn't even remotely bother to explain to the dude WHY he can have both is amazing 😍 And that guy is hopefully failing that finals 😂

phytoestrogens such as those found in soy actually would inhibit the effectiveness of actual estrogen hrt. it occupies the hormone receptors instead of the good stuff!

This podcast is criminally underrated, never fails to make me laugh out loud! Got me in the intro when Jordan did the goooold

Love you guys calling out the origins of the soy boy insult. Also important to note that original theory is extremely racist. Basically western white people came to Asia and decided that Asian men were not masculine enough and it must because they ate soy as a main protein source

6:04 honestly part of The Incredibles is learning humility. When Bob saves the jumper, he fucks up his neck. When they have to live in secret, Bob can't use his strength to solve insurance problems - he has to learn every loophole in the system just to make sure people can survive, which is totally based and probably the best thing about Bob in the movie for me. So we have Dash, and Bob. And we have their foils, Violet and Frozone. Dash wants to use his whole power, Violet wants caution and is afraid to fail. Dash's recklessness nearly gets them killed a few times, Violet needs to overcome her fear of failure to save Dash, Dash learns he should cut back a bit. Ok I lied, there's a foil for Bob and Dash at the same time. It's Buddy. Buddy is permanently 12, he thinks like people do at 12, hence "When everyone's super, no one will be." But that's not exactly true, is it? Yes we define super as greater than the norm, the average, but this isn't about being born with it, it's about jet boots and ZPE gauntlets. Not everyone can equip those. And the people who can't will need a lot of help. Already the logic is breaking down. As for Bob and Frozone, Bob is too eager to rush back to being a hero, like the old days. He almost gets Frozone killed. He falls for Buddy's trap. He's not strong enough alone because this challenge needs more than one Incredible. Frozone is careful and stays on the sidelines. Which means he's not there for Mr. Incredible but that's okay in the end (the robot was put in a volcano to murder Frozone specifically). Being isolated or isolating yourself from the other people who could help you when something bigger than you comes along is bad whether you're reckless or too isolated. I could go on but I'm passing out.

‘I’m trying to pass my final’ that reeeeks of ‘hey you ahould feel bad for not engaging with my bs scenario-‘ and thats outside of the basic question ‘what weird social study are you doing that you end up with this question?’ XD

getting out of work and there immediately being a podcast to watch is incredibly satisfying

Nice to see Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez finally release a weekly podcast, keep it up Happy Guyz

jarvis said "the night before christmas" and i had a jolly old panic checking what day it is

Whats funny abt the street interview question is that its not only a bad question bc u can have both but also bc lgbtq rights n gender equality literally improve productivity n hence improve the economy n a better economy opens the door to better civil rights so not only can u have both but they literally go hand in hand

I feel like it wouldn’t be *bad* to exclusively hire BLACK creators to promote our movies. Especially the ones that are specifically about our trauma throughout history. Maybe companies should consider it idk 🤷🏾‍♀️

Less than 4 minutes in and Jarvis is already caught up in the whimsies of this beautiful world

The smug little smile Jordan did when he put the hat on got an audible laugh from me.

"What am I /allowed/ to be offended by?!" - Jordan Yes! Omg! Thank you! Exactly!

"Elder Dragon" lmao This is my new comfort podcast ❤

when they said "pour water on john wick and he dies" all i could think was "he's the wicked witch of the west"

Did not follow a word of the basketball talk, but it really was a good background convo while making some holiday barks!

Its been a good season to watch basketball! Feels like the in season tournament has really made people more interested early. Love the basketball talk!

Me: "I have to work two hours of overtime and then I've got until January 2nd off. What is there to watch?" ☹️ Jordan and Jarvis (second week in a row): "Hey." Me: 😃

i do want to say, the creator who partnered with HBO, isn’t American, english is her second language, and she has posted abt how her wording is sometimes ambiguous to what she’s trying to say. her video was obviously poorly researched, but as someone who didn’t grow up in america, it makes sense that she wouldn’t have read The Color Purple or know much about it. very silly to do a brand deal for a movie u don’t a thing about.

i can't hear anything bc ive been looking at jordans gigantic foot

As someone who’s trying to get back into basketball after like 5-6 years, these yarns about the nba are fantastic. Love this pod

i love you guys i think it speaks volumes that your production stands strong with or without guests jordan: i'm wishing you much stability in 2024, and beyond

"Gary Payton. The old one from the 90s." Someday being reminded that you're old won't sting anymore. Today is not that day. Gary Payton was known as "The Glove" because of his exceptional defense and was frequently among the league leaders in steals.

Sit down at any sporting event next to a person who lives and breathes the game they love and they will be able to tell you off the dome players' stats, what rules were just broken, the exact strategy needed to make xyz play, and what their favorite athlete's workout regimen is. The casual enjoyer is not nearly so plugged in, which is how I know sports fans are just nerd programming running on jock hardware. Edit: fully affectionate btw, game recognize game I too hoard facts and trivia about things which have little to no direct impact on my life

I don't comment often but wanted to with you both a comfortable holiday season 😊

the “i’m trying to pass my final” is 100% because he told him that this is for a sociology project and not for his stinky tiktok

that girl who summarized the color purple had me floored lol. wtaf 😭
