Episode 125 - Even Joe Rogan Is Saying It

Mika (0:05)

Hello, hello, darlings.

Stevie (0:07)

Hi, hello.

Mika (0:09)

So Stevie, Stevie.

SPEAKER_3 (0:11)

What?

Mika (0:12)

I'm gonna do that thing that women stereotypically do to men.

Stevie (0:16)

What would that be?

Mika (0:18)

So you notice anything different?

Stevie (0:24)

Your cool microphone that matches mine?

Mika (0:27)

Dammit, see, that's the problem. You being a trans man, you know how to look and to like see what's different and pay the compliment.

Whereas if you were a cis man, you'd have no idea. You'd have been sitting here for like 20 minutes going, fuck, I don't have hair, makeup, hair, new shirt.

Stevie (0:50)

Cool shirt, good shirt.

Mika (0:52)

Yeah, cool shirt, yeah.

Stevie (0:54)

Am I right? Is it the mic?

Mika (0:55)

It is the mic.

Stevie (0:57)

Yay, we matchies now. It's awesome.

Mika (0:59)

We do. It's cool. Now, all I have to do anytime I need to cough or fart, particularly loudly, is just.

Stevie (1:09)

You'll know that Mika is keeping secrets.

You'll know if Mika is doing a secret sin on the other side, because you could see the red light. I was smart enough to turn mine towards me. So you never know, except you do, because I always have to go, huh, whenever I want to change the light.

Mika (1:26)

You do.

Stevie (1:27)

Yeah.

Mika (1:28)

Meanwhile, I, on the other hand, uh... What is sub for great ball Pokemon drop?

Stevie (1:37)

Yeah, I was had to ask, hey, what the fuck is sub for great ball Pokemon drop? Twitch is trying to advertise to us in our own livestream, and that's pissing me off. Anyway, I sent the little rat knife emote from my own channel.

Mika (1:48)

Yeah, I saw it. It was real cool. Hold on.

Stevie (1:51)

I got another one of you just kind of wrapping a rat.

Mika (1:54)

Yeah, this is a free episode for anybody who wants to pop in and check out the podcast, et cetera.

So, my gosh, and we get to just talk about fun stuff. A free episode where we're talking about fun stuff. We no longer do the news segment on these episodes. So if in the future you wonder what we think about the news, we have a separate mini-podcast called Here Comes the News.

Stevie (2:24)

Ask us on Thursday.

Mika (2:26)

Ask us on Thursday.

Stevie (2:28)

Yeah, we will be live streaming that.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

That's not a Sunday topic.

Stevie (2:31)

It's not a Sunday topic. Don't ask me about the news on Sunday. I'm not checking.

Mika (2:35)

It is the Sabbath.

Stevie (2:37)

Yeah.

Mika (2:38)

And quite frankly, I refuse as a good Christian woman to work on the Sabbath.

Stevie (2:50)

Turn the back of the music off.

Mika (2:56)

It's Gender Swap.

Welcome to Gender Swap, a podcast by two transgender siblings, one of whom has been having a day with various bits of technology refusing to cooperate, and the other one has been having a day with different bits of technology refusing to cooperate. I'm one of your hosts. My name is Mika, and my pronouns are she her.

Stevie (3:33)

Hi, my name is Stevie. My pronouns are he they.

I'm a little bit hungover, so everybody has to be really nice to me today.

Mika (3:42)

No promises, by the way.

What up, Ripley? Good to see you in the chat.

Stevie (3:48)

Hello, Evrignan. So happy to see you, Ripley. Mika, do you want to show them the scary photo I sent you last night of my hair straightened?

Mika (3:57)

Do I want? I wish it, Stevie. I love you. I love you so much.

But I need you to warn me about this in advance.

Stevie (4:04)

Sorry.

Mika (4:05)

I can already have it.

Stevie (4:07)

I should have. I didn't even think I'd talk about the party. I straightened my hair last night for 2012 themed party, and I went pretty indie sleaze for it.

I haven't straightened my hair in about 10 years, and I can't tell you how nostalgic the smell of it was. Like, the already put product in the hair and then straightening it over after. It's like a nice sweet burn. It's great. I look like a new kind of douche. Not new.

Mika (4:33)

No, not new at all.

A specific. You look like Steve Aoki.

Stevie (4:42)

Oh, the bangs.

Mika (4:43)

For those of you who don't know who Steve Aoki is, I've put a picture of him up on the screen.

Stevie (4:50)

You have not. You're filming. That's a picture of me. It's not great. It's not great. The bangs are really straight. Everybody will be relieved to know that within 20 minutes of arriving at the party, it was so, so, so humid that it curled right back up. So the Polaroids I have of the outfit are actually very good. My hair looks amazing. Show them the actual Steve Aoki picture.
