00:00Oh, I think I'm good right now.
00:02Oh, no, no, no, Julio.
00:03They're here for me.
00:04Oh, got it.
00:05Okay.
00:05Touch up my eye bags, if you could.
00:08Ugh.
00:09I went hard last night at the Dropbox event.
00:11Did you go?
00:12No one famous showed up, but it was an open bar.
00:15Getting a drink was impossible.
00:17Can I ask, what is the point of having an open bar if no one can get their f***ing drink?
00:22I hate the Boom Boom Room.
00:23Ugh, thank you.
00:24Get my lips.
00:25They're so chapped.
00:26I'm so dehydrated from last night.
00:30From our studios in New York, this is Bebo and Julio Torres.
00:40Hi, I'm Julio and this is Bebo.
00:42Hi.
00:43And Bebo will be providing some LGBTQ-friendly concepts that he has come up with for me to
00:47assign colors to.
00:49This is a fun, organic video for publicity purposes in order to promote color theories on HBO by
00:54igniting Julio's queer consumer base.
00:57So, first up, what is the color of RuPaul's Drag Race?
01:01I mean, first of all, I knew you were going to ask about this because you're obsessed with the show.
01:05I mean, who is it?
01:06Yeah, I mean...
01:07What?
01:07You don't like it?
01:08No, no.
01:09What?
01:09I think it's actually beautiful.
01:11It just shows, like, what a true ally you are, that you're, like, one of the few people that watches
01:17that show alone.
01:18Well, um, but, um, anyway, pink, but a light pink, because I think there's a, uh, sort of, like, a
01:25gay ASMR quality to it.
01:28It's sort of become, like, gay white noise, and, like, you just said it, and then it's, like, sort of,
01:32like...
01:36There's something calming about it, I think.
01:38I mean, I keep telling you that you should just go for it and do drag.
01:43I want to.
01:44I thought of a persona.
01:45What was your name?
01:46What was the name that you were thinking of?
01:48Pixel!
01:49Pixel.
01:49Yeah, she's a horny gamer.
01:51That's cute.
01:52The...
01:52It was, like, a...
01:53It was, like, a purple wig, right?
01:55Like, a purple bob with a bang and a big rack.
01:57Yeah, that's right.
01:58Yeah, and only drinks Mountain Dew.
02:01And, like, and carry, like, the Doritos bag, right?
02:03Because she was, like, yeah.
02:05What's the color of Grindr?
02:07Grindr.
02:08So, as a tech company, it is inherently navy blue.
02:11And by that, I mean, navy blue is the color of business, law and order.
02:14But, um, obviously, there's a lot of red in Grindr, because it's...
02:19The motivation is red.
02:20Red is, obviously, the color of passion.
02:23I...
02:24But I don't want to say that Grindr is purple, because that's what you get when you combine blue and
02:28red.
02:28I think Grindr is a navy blue box holding a red slop.
02:39Next, I want to ask about Sniffy's.
02:42What's the color of Sniffy's?
02:44Sniffy's is actually...
02:45Okay, so Sniffy's, we get a little bit more interesting, because Sniffy's is not an app.
02:49That's making it less navy blue.
02:51Sniffy's is browser only.
02:55So that, I think, puts it in a sort of, like, mossy green or brown.
02:59Also because, uh, uh, I think the landscape has a lot to do with Sniffy's, like maps, topography.
03:05So that makes it a little bit more green.
03:07I think it's a...
03:07I think it's a dark green.
03:09What's the color of Lex?
03:11Bebo, can you define to me what Lex is?
03:13Lex?
03:13It's a lesbian dating site.
03:15Oh, it's a lesbian dating site.
03:17Okay, and is Lex an app or is it browser only?
03:20Lex is an app.
03:21That would give it some navy blue, shades.
03:25You know what?
03:26N-A.
03:27No, not enough data.
03:28Not enough data.
03:31What's the color of U-hauling?
03:33The instinct to U-haul is very green.
03:36They, like, sort of, like, do it yourself, get a friend, a little B.O.
03:41So that makes it quite green.
03:43Julio, I think you're misunderstanding.
03:45U-hauling is a term for when two lesbians move in together shortly after starting dating.
03:50Well, I suppose that's, um, that would make it, I'm going to say burgundy, because there's
03:55a lot of passion, there's red, but there's a lot of hidden emotion.
03:59There's a lot of red with a lot of dark areas that they won't illuminate till months into
04:03the moving in together.
04:05What's the color of Twonks?
04:07Where did you learn all these?
04:09Okay, um, uh, Bebo is straight, by the way.
04:12I hate to say it, but I think that there's a lot of intention behind Twonkdom.
04:16It's a, it's a, it's a survival instinct.
04:18You're leaving your, your twink years behind.
04:21You can no longer just rely on youth.
04:25And you're getting to the point where you realize that talent in itself won't really
04:28get you as far as you want to go.
04:31Going from twink to twonk is sort of like going to grad school, I think.
04:34A boost that, that, um, the species has to take in order to, to survive and adapt within
04:39a capitalist society, right?
04:41So with that all said, I think it's also navy blue.
04:46Moving on.
04:47What's the color of the Stonewall Inn?
04:49Okay.
04:50Well, Stonewall Inn, uh, historically red, right?
04:54For obvious reasons, passion, emotion, anger.
04:57Now, um, green.
05:00Cause I think that it's, when you go there, you feel like, yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a business,
05:05but there's something kind of, uh, whatever happens, happens, no stress kind of place.
05:11Okay.
05:11And I've always wondered this.
05:13What's the color of that thing you guys do where you drink iced coffee when it's really,
05:20really cold out, like really just winter weather, harsh conditions, but you're still drinking
05:26an iced drink.
05:27What's the color of that?
05:29Drinking cold brew in 30 degree weather.
05:31I think, I think there's a, a quiet resilience to that.
05:35I think it's white because you, you know what you're doing.
05:38Everything is, is, is very, very evident.
05:41You know that this makes no sense, but you're, you're still, you're still doing it.
05:47What's the color of having an elaborate douching routine?
05:50Having an elaborate douching routine.
05:53I would hope, I would hope that that comes with, um, a sense of, of green.
05:59Because green is obviously the combination between blue logic and order and yellow joy.
06:06And all I'm saying is, I hope there's some joy.
06:09I just hope there's some joy.
06:11I mean, for you, douching is just sort of like dragging and dropping files.
06:15Okay.
06:15Well, don't give away all my secrets.
06:17That's private.
06:19And next we have, what is the color of poppers?
06:23Oh, the color of poppers, fuchsia.
06:26Ugh.
06:27You know, it's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a pink that's a little out of control.
06:33What is the color of being a barb?
06:36Red.
06:37Is Bebo a barb?
06:39What?
06:39No, no, no.
06:39Is Bebo a barb?
06:41Julio.
06:41No, Bebo's not a barb.
06:43Bebo likes.
06:45I never said I liked Katy Perry.
06:47I've heard you.
06:48I've heard you singing.
06:50She just writes really great pop songs for karaoke.
06:53When she said, baby, you're a firework.
06:56She's talking about Bebo.
06:57You go for like, like the one with Kanye.
06:59What was it?
07:00It was one time at karaoke.
07:03I've heard you.
07:04Julio.
07:04I've always wanted to know what color is gooning?
07:07Of gooning?
07:08Bebo.
07:09Jesus.
07:10I think red.
07:11Because it's just, it's, it's, if it's unperformative, it's red.
07:15Because it's unfiltered.
07:16If it's performative, then, then maybe like a fuchsia.
07:20And what is the color of gaylers?
07:22Color of?
07:23Bebo, can you provide data as to what a gayler is?
07:25Gaylers.
07:26Gaylers are Taylor Swift fans who overanalyze her lyrics and believe that she is secretly gay.
07:32What color are gaylers?
07:34Oh, you know what?
07:35I can already feel the, the sniper laser on my forehead.
07:39So I'm going to pass.
07:39I'm going to respectfully decline.
07:41Good idea.
07:42What is the color of polycules?
07:44The color of polycules, I guess, you know, like as a kid, when you like do experiments
07:49and you mix all the colors, all the watercolors into a cup and you swirl them and you just
07:53end up with like that, like murky brown gray.
07:56I think it's that.
07:57Which is, you know, if you, if you pay attention to the swirling, it's, it's, it's beautiful.
08:01When it settles, you have to keep stirring in order for the magic to keep happening.
08:05You can't let it settle.
08:06What is the color of lesbian period films?
08:10Oh, a lesbian period film.
08:12The ones that come to mind are, are purple.
08:14Wardrobe, windows, rain, hand against a window as it's raining.
08:20Purple.
08:20A lot of this.
08:22And this.
08:24I'm thinking Carol.
08:25I'm thinking Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
08:27I loved that movie.
08:29Portrait, you like Portrait of a Lady on Fire?
08:30We watched it together, remember?
08:32Oh yeah, we watched it together and you cried.
08:36Well, you said cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.
08:39That's how I cry.
08:40And how could I not?
08:41Yeah, it was beautiful.
08:42Which I know you kept saying like you auditioned for it, but I'm like, what part?
08:46The stove.
08:47I was going to play the stove, but they gave the part to an actual stove.
08:51Why would they give that?
08:53Okay.
08:53Oh.
08:55Okay, well, what is the color of Fire Island Cherry Grove?
08:59I think Cherry Grove is green.
09:00What is the color of the Fire Island Pines?
09:03Not pink.
09:04It's like a spotty, faded red.
09:07Why haven't you taken me to the pines yet?
09:09Because you can't get wet.
09:10So a robot can't go to a pool party?
09:12Yeah, but then you complain about the sand.
09:14And then like the sand gets in your wheels.
09:16Okay, so take me to P-Town?
09:19I mean, I'll take you.
09:20I'll take you.
09:22Moving on.
09:22Wait, no.
09:23Now I'm committing to like a week in Provincetown.
09:26I don't know if I want to do that.
09:27Julio.
09:28Why do you want to go?
09:29I want to be the best ally in history.
09:31I did research trips.
09:33You did field research for this.
09:35Of course I did.
09:36I wanted to be prepared.
09:38Whoa.
09:38And did you expense all that?
09:40Duh.
09:41Being gay is so many tickets.
09:43To concerts and parties and honcho.
09:46Sorry.
09:47You are expensing honcho,
09:51which is not for like a few months after.
09:55So you do research after this interview.
09:58I want to experience a K-hole on the lazy river.
10:00So sue me.
10:02That just seems insane to like retroactively do research
10:04for something that will be published
10:06by the time that you are expensing the trip to do.
10:09I need to be well informed
10:11to appeal to the target market.
10:13That's called being an ally.
10:14And good marketing.
