14. [Coffee & Tea]


So, you built this, huh?

I certainly must have, at some point.

All by yourself.

I highly doubt.

You just considerably know yourself well to have brought yourself here—

Or not.

Let's just say, I really uh—

Fuck, I blacked out,

Tied one on the night before.

Oh, God.

And the day before—

Oh, well.

Hello, t there.

I—uh—

And the night before the day before.

Christ.

All I'm saying is, for this audition you're going to want to keep it classy.

Keep it—classy.

Let the games begin!

In those pants I could make you into anything

In these jeans it seems there may indeed be a reason to meet me, and maybe

Just maybe

If we're playing the same game.

You may see me,

And we will play together—

For eternity.

What exact the fuck game are you playing with this guy?

I don't remember.

Drunken Posers.

FUCHK. I hate this game'

I love this GAME.

I still see that one cereal box and get reminded of Dillon Francis a lot.

Facts.

Ketchup.

Vanilla Soy Milk

Out of all the comedians I studied, Jay Pharoah was my new favorite.

Yes, my new favorite comedian.

There were the old favorites—

The classics, if you will.

You know

Bernie Mac,

Kat Williams,

Robin Williams—

And this, by the way, is in no particular order—

Eddie Murphy

Cedric—

(Sorry I thought you were dead, broh.)

Cereal.

Yup. Two kinds!

Teriyaki—for the noodles?

Did I not mention that with the soy sauce already?

Dane Cook.

You just worry about what you did—

What I did?!

Oh god. Oh jeez.

Oh, shit, son!!

Wait, you're right: where is Liz?

Good question.

This is not safe.

This cannot be safe.

It's not safe.

This is not KOSHER.

What's it matter to you?

It SO matters.

Are you a Jew, now?

It might suit me at this point.

Or eventually, it may.

What's that supposed to mean.

Quiet, Liz. We're almost finished.

Finished with what.

Just one more *strap*

Oh, great another—

Shh.

DOCTOR! DOCTOR.

Nobody can hear you.

Oh! But they will.

They won't.

And why not?!

Because, you're a cartoon character; and even if you weren't.

What are you talking about?! I'm Liz Lemon!

Yes—that is—semi-correct.

Semi correct?! It is fully correct!

Elizabeth Lemon would be fully correct— by definition.

What—what are you doing?

Preparing for takeoff.

Takeoff?! Where are you sending me.

Takeoff from The Migos feels a small pull in his heart, and a ringing in his ears, as he becomes the first living Migo to be mentioned in the festival project.

Huh.

{Enter The Multiverse}

First of all, his Skrillex impression l—

Spot on.

Because yes,

As we all know—

Those of us who were there to watch Skrillex

Personally sign on to The Illuminati

Via Justin Bieber—

Nothing so quite remarkably

Brought back its pungent memory—

The song that in one phrase,

Both started and ended it all,

Than Jay Pharoh's own memorandum,

A representation by impression,

Of this particular sound,

Known lovingly otherwise as

“Skrillex”

And however, was the

A florecent, gellatenous—

Presently, yes—

Blob, of sorts.

Oh shit. This bitch said “bomb” and Kamala in the same sentence.

He say he don't!

Man—

Man!!!

I said!

Shoot that nigga!

Jay Pharoh, another notable SNL alumni, however

From the wonder years in which I had really never watched, but only glossed under in curiosity—

Just so happened to be the definitive test of my overall attraction to members of my own “race” classification—

And an incredible impressionist—

Maybe even the best, ever.

But here, let me explain the first part.

I realized that simply, watching his performance ,

That I was certainly not—

Nor might I ever be—

Attracted to black men.

Yes, indeed.

Jay Pharoh stood as the equivalent of

The girl the gay guy kisses passionately in order attempt to achieve arousal from such an act, by this, I mean:

That I watched this stand up performance as a straight female, fellow performer, and sapiosexual—

In knowing and understanding that,

I was watching this man, as I had many others,

Doing something I found incredibly attractive—

Actually, almost irresistible—

Performance art;

Live performance art—

Better yet,

Stand up comedy, which I have yet to have fully broken the code—meaning that this act—

An illusive mystery to me as to how exactly it is practiced;

Whereas with music the viel has since been lifted—

There still exists a certain type of magic in the act of performing stand up comedy, especially to large audiences.

And so, in the sense that

Jay Pharoh—a notable SNL alumni, an incredible performer and with the added bonus of being an extremely attractive and accomplished fellow l—

There should be some kind of

—you know—

Erotic spark involved in watching this performance;such as the young gay man uses his willing perceivably attractive female friend as a practice test in order to better understand his own identity and circumstance, so was this

Not entirely on purpose—

But actually, hy complete accident, and

Just as the young gay might realize upon kissing his female friend—

I realized this:

Jay Pharoh to me was an incredibly beautiful human being—

So incredibly beautiful, in fact, that several times during his performance—

I actually wanted to cry.

Cry actual tears—

And while I realized that this man,

As beautiful as he was—

Physically, and spiritually—

Aesthetically, and otherwise—

Hitting all the marks in all the places that he should,

There was one thing that made it feel as if,

In anything at all in the world,

We were incompatible.

Not to say that I could put myself into the category of upper echelon women to compete over such an admired person at all—

But only finally realizing something important about myself, that just so happened to be as important as the formerly unsure gay's sexuality is to him;

My attraction to black men did not exist.

Like I said, it was bad—

Or at least, it sounds bad.

But now I finally get it.

This man,

Who had everything I could dream of and more,

Who happened to be in peak shape,

At the height of his career,

And incredible in every single possible way—

Who was,

So beautiful, in fact, inside and out—

That I nearly did cry—

Still wasn't someone I wanted to have sex with.

Case solved.

Of course, this man can do much better.

That's far beyond the point;

And,

If there is a point at all to any of this, it's that

Gender, and sexuality, and attraction are still

In this time

Just as much of a mystery to humanity as it's ever been, and as much as it'll ever be

The theory of genetic attraction so far is entirely existent only in my mind— or perhaps even, hidden somewhere deeply in secret within my genetic code, as the closer I age toward my own maternal peak, the more spacific the traits in the opposite sex which dictate what I am and am not or will or will not be attracted to sexually.

Does that make me a racist any more than a homosexual's explicit desires to see a same-gendered person over the opposite makes them a mysognoist or otherwise?

#karmageddon

And while I've struggled in my cellibacy to adapt to a changing world, realizing that my viewpoints and beliefs, my code of ethics and even my own morals have become somewhat obsolete that, I'm forced to recon, alongside with my non-binary assignment, that the need to procreate as a female, a natural phenomenon and this desire for change within the current genetic predisposition

Is something like homosexuality, in that

My particular genetic code

And the particular genetic code of my potential mate

rests with the knowledge that my own intrinsic sexual attraction or converse aversion to one determination over another is in part due to the structure of evolution within our species with the higher purpose of creating offspring more likely to survive and succeed within the world's consistently changing climate—sociologically and otherwise.

What in the fuck does this have to do with comedy?!

Nothing, this is the equivalent of the recently self-realized gay man having an overaggrandized and theatrical coming-out

So what are you coming out with exactly?

I don't know. I just like white dudes.

That's it?

Yeah.

. . .

#floatingfastdays

[The Festival Project ™]

That's it?!

Yeah.

“I like white dudes.”

Only white dudes.

That's all you were trying to say?

Not trying to say. I said it.

Like, scientifically, and shit.

Are you serious?

I want one.
