1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Revoice Podcast Network. The mic is ours. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Hello everyone. Welcome to Common Talk, the podcast with common conversations and random outcomes. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000 I'm your host Gabriel and let's get right into it. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000 This week's question is, what is the most bizarre rumor you've heard about yourself and if not you, someone else? 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000 And right now I am joined by Jason Khan from VCU. 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000 Jason Khan from VCU. All right. And what is a bizarre rumor you've heard about yourself or just rumor about anyone? 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Yeah, so I have a grandfather on my dad's side. 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Okay. 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Who he decided to start dating a 27 year old. 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Grandfather. How old is this grandfather? 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000 83. 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Okay. Was your grandfather maybe recently widowed, widower or was he divorced or was he just bachelor until 83? 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Sure. So he got divorced quite some time ago. He actually got divorced before I was born. 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Oh, wow. So he's been a bachelor for a while. 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000 This dude's been on the market and apparently 30 is too old for him. 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 He's going under 30 at 83, which is shocking to me. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000 That's pretty wild. Have you met this lady? 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 I have not met her. I've seen a picture. 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000 All right. 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000 She looks fine, looks great, you know, a healthy looking 27 year old. 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 I just can't get over the fact that there's a 50 year age difference. 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000 So is this maybe, does this great pot maybe have some more money? Is this why this kind of thing would happen? 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000 That's the thing. That's the stereotype, right? 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Yeah. 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000 At the end of the day, I don't know how much money he has. I know we grew up kind of poor. 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Our family's not like super rich. 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000 But I'm sure at 83 you have some sort of life insurance or something. 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Yeah. 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000 I'm just wondering what's going on in that 27 year old's head. I'm not even too worried about him, you know. 30 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000 He's old and seen out. But the 27 year old, what's she up to? 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000 She's probably looking for a bag if that's what I'm thinking. 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Yeah. 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 All right. Is there anything else you'd like to add? 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 No, not really. It's a nice, beautiful day here in Monroe Park. 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000 It is. 36 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000 So thanks for the interview. 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Yeah, so thank you. Have a wonderful day. 38 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Yeah, of course, man. 39 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Awesome. 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Take care. 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000 What is your name? 42 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000 My name is Natalie. 43 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Natalie, and you go here at VCU? 44 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000 I do. 45 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000 And what year are you? 46 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000 I'm a freshman. 47 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000 You're a freshman? 48 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Mm-hmm. 49 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000 All right. What is the most bizarre rumor you've heard about yourself or someone else? 50 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000 So when I was in eighth grade, they took our entire class on a camping trip to like Shenandoah area. 51 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:21,000 And this one girl who actually goes here that really did not like me started going around telling people that I left my tent in the middle of the night 52 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000 and was like pretending to be a bear. 53 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000 I didn't really understand because I was like, I don't talk to you. Why? Why? Why do you do that? 54 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:37,000 But yeah, she told basically the entire class that I was like creeping around people's tents pretending to be a bear and then, you know, trying to get in, which... 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Is there a reason this girl didn't like you? 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:50,000 I mean, I was a little weird. I won't lie. I don't know. I think that she was mad at me because I was proud being myself and she couldn't do that. So, I don't know. 57 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Hey, that's... 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000 I don't know. 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Why a bear? Why not anything else? Like, why would you like try to imagine you just being a bear? 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 I think that's not that bad of a... I mean, not the worst thing. 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000 I don't know. I mean, I think it's because we were in the woods and, you know, people have been like, oh my God, there's a bear right there. 62 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000 And there wasn't a bear. But, you know, she was trying to make it seem like I was the bear. You know. 63 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 That is unfortunate. Anything else you want to add about this or anything like that? 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 She never told anybody she was lying. 65 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Oh, really? So she never owed up to it? 66 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000 No, she didn't. 67 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000 To this day? 68 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Yeah. 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And she still goes here? 70 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Yeah. 71 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Dang. We'll have to find her and maybe see if she'll own up to it one time. 72 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000 I don't know. She's doing her own thing. I'm not, like, mad at her. 73 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Okay. 74 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000 She's living her life. I'm living mine. 75 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000 That's wonderful. 76 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Yeah. 77 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000 That's great to hear. 78 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Yeah. 79 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Well, thank you very much.

And what is the most bizarre rumor you've heard about yourself or someone else? 127 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,000 The most bizarre rumor somebody has came up with me is that I'm homophobic, but I'm also bisexual. 128 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000 So it doesn't really make sense. 129 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Where did this rumor stem from? Do you know who started it? 130 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000 It was a bunch of people in a college group chat. 131 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:54,000 This has happened twice before. When I first came out, everybody was like, no, you're totally not. 132 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000 Like, you're too into guys to be into girls. And I was like, that, do you know what bi stands for? 133 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000 And then I joined a group chat like in April before school started. 134 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000 And a bunch of people were like, you're homophobic. You're homophobic. 135 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And I was like, what? And I was like, guys, guys, I'm gay. It's OK. None of them believe me. 136 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000 I just sent them a picture of me coming out on Instagram and they were like, well, you didn't have to do all that. 137 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 And I was like, you asked me to. 138 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Yeah, that's interesting. Wow. OK. 139 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000 That's I told you it was a crazy rumor. 140 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Is this still something people think or have you dispelled this rumor? 141 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Um, some people do still think it because I have a boyfriend. 142 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000 So everybody's like, oh, you're in a straight relationship. 143 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000 And I was like, well, I'm still not straight. 144 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 It still occurs sometimes, which I don't know how. I've never like gone out of my way. 145 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000 I'm obviously very supportive of my community. 146 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000 So I don't really understand how this is still happening. 147 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000 That's an unfortunate event. Anything else you want to add to that situation? 148 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Maybe say anything to the people who started it. 149 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 For anyone, for anybody who sees this video, I am not homophobic. 150 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 I am very much bisexual. I love women. 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Damn straight. Hell yeah. 152 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Yeah, for sure. Thank you. 154 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000 And right now we're back and I'm joined by. 155 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000 My name is Jay. Nice to meet you all. 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Jay. All right. What is a craziest rumor you've heard about yourself or someone else? 157 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000 OK, so back in elementary school, I remember there used to be this kid specifically in third grade. 158 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:39,000 His name was Isaiah and Isaiah wasn't really like stereotypically like appealing to everybody else during that time frame. 159 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Yeah, so he was kind of chubby. He had a unibrow and everything. 160 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000 I think at the time, like his his parents were like kind of like, I don't know if they're spiritual or like religious, 161 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 so they didn't really believe in deodorant. So he kind of like stank a little bit. 162 00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:00,000 So like they felt like everybody made this rumor up that he was like the most bacterial infected kid. 163 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Like it was it was scary for like other kids to be touched by him. 164 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000 So like everybody used to like bully him, prank him and be like, oh my God, you have to. 165 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000 It was called the Zaytouch. That's what it was. It was called the Zaytouch. 166 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000 It was like, oh my God. Imagine like a man. 167 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Imagine a kid tries to hug you and they're like, you know, I don't want the Zaytouch. That's disgusting. 168 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 That's like the cheese touch from Diary of a Wobby Kid. Right. 169 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000 No, it was bad to the point where he started like crying almost every day when he would come to school. 170 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Like he hated coming to school because every every day he would get bullied. 171 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Like he was really the one kid that you would see sitting by himself at the lunchroom table 172 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 because nobody else wanted to sit with him nor touch him. 173 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000 And like he was actually just such a nice kid. I didn't really like talk to him that much. 174 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000 But like, you know, when I did talk to him, he was a cool individual. 175 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000 And I found out later on, like when I was in high school that he had like a major glow up. 176 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Like he was like one of the only kids that were in high school with a full grown beard. 177 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 He had like shaved his uterbrow. He had actually lost a lot of weight. 178 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,000 And he was actually like one of the biggest like football team players on like one of one of the most popular 179 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000 757 high schools at the time. But he really like blew up and everything. 180 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000 But everybody was like, oh my God, that used to be the kid that used to have the Zaytouch and everything like that. 181 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 But, you know, shout out to him for really following his dreams on like losing weight, you know, 182 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000 trying to be better for himself and stuff like that. To all the kids that really like bullied him, that's crazy. 183 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000 I wonder where y'all at right now for honestly. 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Damn straight. I appreciate it. Anything else you want to add to finish this off? 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Be like Zayt, man. Be like Isaiah. You know, everybody's going to hate at you until you start, you know, 186 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000 growing up, you know, gaining clout. Just don't let people like prey on your doubtful. 187 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000 Like when they start making fun of you, you just know that's your time to definitely shine. 188 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Damn straight. I appreciate it, man. Thank you, Jay.
