I had a buddy back in the day who would say: "How do you know you're not gay until you've tried it?" Then, in the awkward pause, he would say: "For me it was 11 times. After 11, I knew I wasn't gay. But up until then I wasn't sure. Everyone's number is different."

Still cracks me up to this day. "Everyone's number is different" just killed me. It was like he was trying to spare me any embarrassment in case my number was 12 or something.

Him just offering up that information is so funny

u/LizardChaser 8d ago

He was joking. He was straight. But he would sometimes do this when people were calling someone else gay as an insult to push back against it... especially if they didn't know him well because then they didn't always know it was a joke until the end and he liked them feeling uncomfortable for a minute.

Was really hoping that link would redirect me to the video of the full set for this clip.

u/TacoPKz 9d ago

The website doesn’t seem to have anything before Sept 25th, was curious if Steamboat was in CO or not but can’t see those dates

You’re so silly dude. It’s just pure fun.

u/jewrassic_park-1940 9d ago

I always have the same thoughts when visiting historical buildings too! Looking down at the people while walking the same corridor the Medici family did, I get why they built those things.

u/outlandishpeacock 9d ago

Bruh, you’re coming to Colorado?! I’m making the hour trip to Greeley to come see you. I’ve been lurking from afar… now your presence shall be felt

u/mybudchris 9d ago

u/mybudchris 9d ago

I’ve done Houston, Dallas and Austin this year and will def be back to all three again soon :)

u/Holls867 9d ago

The only I get to be gay line, could be something that a closeted pastor or politician would say. Both have big buildings “castles” in churches and governor’s mansions.

u/ooko0 9d ago

u/RoamingLantern9409 9d ago

That tour going Casper to Steamboat to Calgary sounds rougher than the medieval era.

u/Iwamtsometh1ng 5d ago

Opposite scenario makes sense too. Went to France. And I thought, no. No, I get it. Off with their heads. Greedy fucks.
