0

54.012 - 71.763 Deison Afualo

Nice try. Nice try. You call me the F slur. Nice try, F slur. You're not allowed to say that. I missed you. I missed you. I'm happy that we're here. I'm happy that you're here. And we have an amazing guest today on the pod. True. This episode rocks, but we do have something pretty exciting to announce as well. We are no longer going to be a podcast.

71.863 - 73.725 Deison Afualo

No, dude. Don't tease them.

0

75.636 - 84.198 Deison Afualo

He was saying we have something really exciting. We are now doing poetry exclusively. We're turning this little dog and pony show. Into a band.

84.518 - 86.639 Deison Afualo

Into a band. It's called Nuna. What did you say?

86.719 - 97.921 Deison Afualo

Nuna. It's called Tuna. There's two Munas and we love fish. Hi, we're a band called Tuna. I'm so in. I'm not even kidding.

97.961 - 98.441 Deison Afualo

No, I know.

98.461 - 124.023 Deison Afualo

Tuna is funny. A cover band. Sorry, a tribute band. Of Muna, but there's just two of us. We do all of them. Don't say a tribute. It's a tribute band, Tuna. I mean, tribute band is when they pass, right? I don't know. I thought it just meant we would dress up like them. Tuna's hysterical. It's really good, dude. It's us. All of them. Somehow. There's a way. Technology can, AI, et cetera.

Chapter 2: What is the concept behind the Tuna cover band?

128.224 - 140.538 Deison Afualo

I was trying to think of a fish pun for silk chiffon, and it just didn't come to me. It's milk chiffon. Obviously. As the cover. Yeah, it's good. Fine. All right. All right.

140.958 - 142.239 Deison Afualo

We are too.

149.163 - 150.164 Deison Afualo

Your eyes pop.

151.345 - 162.772 Deison Afualo

Thank you. Your eyes pop. I miss you. I obviously like your whole outfit. We talked about it in the car. You picked me up. I look like John the Baptist, but I hobbled to your car. Nearly fell. You look good.

164.051 - 173.699 Deison Afualo

Something about me, a full grown man in a blouse is doing what I want it to do for my whole vibe. I know.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts feel about the recent Grammy awards?

557.296 - 559.336 Deison Afualo

Somebody at one point, maybe it was the motorcycle owner.

559.356 - 560.176 Deison Afualo

We were sissing on it.

0

560.216 - 570.403 Deison Afualo

He was like, oh, don't you want, pointing to me, don't you want to be in the back for a couple shots? And we were like, no, there's no point. What are you talking about? I would be the laughing stock. Of the world. You would be.

0

570.683 - 592.658 Deison Afualo

Did you ever see the music video with Kanye and Kim? Of course, of course. Bound. Yeah, Bound 2, I believe. Bound 2. Sorry. The sequel. Yeah. The squeakle. And I, we were giving Bound because you were facing me for most of it. And we really were bouncing on it. It was so cool. We had a lot of fun that day. I would do that any day with you. Buy me a hug. I would love to.

0

594.039 - 595.32 Deison Afualo

We are going hog wild on this.

595.52 - 622.412 Deison Afualo

Yeah. It's going to, I think I'm starting to reach. A new level of unhinged. Oh, I have. And bringing that energy to our tour is going to be to be with all you guys, all the dykes and all the Cheyennes out there. Yeah. Like all the sharks. It is some of the most fun. Like performing live is literally my most favorite thing. And when you and I are on the road together, it's hog wild.

631.333 - 631.473 Rachel Scanlon

No.

632.194 - 645.893 Deison Afualo

Do you know how many? Not a lot, but I have signed a lot of pecs. No, I know. It actually is per capita a lot. Yeah. People used to show us their tits. Now they're like, check out this top surgery scar. And I'm like, fuck. It's so much better.

645.953 - 649.136 Deison Afualo

Rock on. 100%. Okay, what else did we want to talk about?

Kristen. Everything about this award show was queer and fun. Yeah.

0

826.175 - 843.508 Deison Afualo

I really, really liked when Queen Latifah was honoring Alicia Keys. Queen Latifah, and I'm so serious when I tell you that I had a visceral reaction to to seeing her take the stage. Can I be honest?

0

844.048 - 868.122 Deison Afualo

I think Queen Latifah is the sexiest woman alive, full stop. I don't think that there is another woman who has the essence of Queen Latifah. Her cape thing? Her smile. She's so hot. It fucking hurt me. So sexy. I was like shaking. No, I know. And it's like she you can tell that she would protect you. Yeah. Respect you.

0

868.342 - 871.823 Deison Afualo

Yeah. And then disrespect. And then disrespect you. She's.

Yeah. And Alicia Keys.

878.096 - 899.224 Deison Afualo

Yeah. I'll send you a lot of stuff, Leah. Anyways, all to say, this Grammys was unbelievably queer. Yeah, it was cool. It was unreal. I had a really fun time live watching it with you. I know, same. Also, a lot of Shakira. A lot of Shakira. What were your thoughts on the Beyonce winning album of the year? I felt proud. I felt like the earth is healing. Yeah.

899.704 - 913.318 Deison Afualo

I wished her acceptance speech was a little longer. I know. She didn't talk as much as I wanted. I was hoping for like a, fuck you. I know that's not her style. I know, but I wish she was petty. I wish she was petty because she deserves to be. And that's the thing is a lot of...

913.999 - 935.807 Deison Afualo

people in her position i have to rise i'm so sick of it i'm sick of queer people and women and black women rising above and taking the high road i don't want to be petty as fuck get down in the mud no i know when they go low go low go low kick them in the teeth sorry sorry but like please i'm sick of the academy different types of academies not recognizing black women yeah

Chapter 5: What unique aspects will the tour feature?

998.574 - 1000.215 Deison Afualo

That's allied to the max.

0

1000.255 - 1023.93 Deison Afualo

1109.993 - 1117.695 Deison Afualo

This is a very exciting time for us. I've been listening to two idiot girls. I've been watching you all over my feed. And now to see you in front of my face.

Chapter 6: How do queer friendships impact personal identity?

1164.17 - 1166.413 McKenzie Goodwin

But like, it's like in a cool way. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah.

0

1166.813 - 1172.095 Deison Afualo

As long as they don't say it at us. I don't want to hear the slur pointed at us. And I do.

0

1172.315 - 1181.138 Deison Afualo

And this is where we always differ. We always differ because I feel like Mackenzie's like, you got to watch it. And I'm always like, or what if my dentist called me a dyke? I don't know. I don't like it.

0

1181.318 - 1181.939 McKenzie Goodwin

But I'm down.

0

1182.079 - 1183.139 Deison Afualo

You're also okay with it?

1183.86 - 1198.316 McKenzie Goodwin

No, I don't want other people calling me a dyke. I like to call other dykes dykes. That's different. For sure. I feel that, yeah. I noticed your dyke ring. Oh, yeah. What's her name? Did you guys watch I Kissed a Girl? Yeah. Yes. So Amy, in the show, she makes these rings. Yes. And then I got them on one of the drops and I was so excited about it.

1198.336 - 1216.192 Deison Afualo

it oh my god it's beautiful it's really really good i miss amy i miss that show you said her name and i was like i just saw every image of her flood back into my mind we need more reality with queer women yeah i agree especially because i loved love island like the uk version i haven't watched in a while but that like during quarantine that was like my

1216.952 - 1220.913 McKenzie Goodwin

So watching a lesbian version of it, I was like, oh, it's so much faster because they're lesbians, which I appreciate.

1220.953 - 1223.434 Deison Afualo

Yeah, they burn through quicker, which is great to me.

Chapter 7: What experiences shape queer awakenings on a rugby team?

Chapter 8: What is the significance of labels in the queer community?

1483.22 - 1483.54 Deison Afualo

Yeah.

0

1483.8 - 1486.182 Deison Afualo

It's just these two. You figure it out.

0

1486.202 - 1492.506 Deison Afualo

Yeah. Whatever. I'm free. You know what I mean? I want different options. So I think that that's very fun. Here's my question.

0

1492.526 - 1496.349 Deison Afualo

When you go to the manicure and the nail salon, do they,

0

1497.529 - 1524.738 McKenzie Goodwin

do they give you like a a discount a like a knowing look well the girl i've been going to i've been going to for almost three years so like i have she knows i'm a lesbian so i told her like one day i'll probably get two short ones and she's like okay like doesn't care i'm like okay so then when i asked her she's like okay and then she started doing it so i love it's really nice yeah and then she'll post like videos no still full price when she posts like videos of my nails um she's like people message her and be like why are those too short and she's like don't worry about it's in your business yes ally

1525.308 - 1543.782 Deison Afualo

ally wow i feel like sometimes it's nice when you have a rapport with the person that is like giving you these services because i feel like i would go to like strangers all the time no i feel that yeah and then when you go to strangers who are also fully straight they're like that's like i'll pull up my i'll they'll see my full leg hair for a pedicure and they're like

1544.142 - 1559.538 McKenzie Goodwin

yeah they're like wow yeah mine is I'll sit down they go do you want me to do your eyebrows too and I go no and they're like upper lip I go no are you sure and I go no I'm good thank you no I'm good my whole life they've done that to me my mom and I laugh because I know like they'll circle my chair like I know they're gonna ask me every time

1559.958 - 1564.122 McKenzie Goodwin

Because where I get my hands done is a different person for where I go to pedicures and stuff.

1564.182 - 1565.563 Deison Afualo

That is unacceptable.
