Activity description: A joking request to Brad elicits an invented account of two clinic visits. Response context: I was making a joke that you, I did not know this actually happened. Well, firstly, tell us, tell us what your experience in the sperm bank, the S bank has been like. Yeah. So Brad, I, I definitely want to, to, to get this straight from the horse's mouth. So, uh, this scene takes place in a sperm bank. Tell us all the details. Was this accurate? Was this a good depiction? Did you feel at home in this office? Yeah. So, so as you two know, I've gone twice. Uh, the first, the first, the first time I went with my buddy, we'll call him, we'll call him Craig. Oh, we had to wait in a very, very long line. So we did that. Yeah. What do you mean? You had to wait in a line? Yeah. It's not like you go there in the, and there's just no one there. There was like, if I was, if I was too deep, I would leave. Yeah. If I'm not, if I'm not immediately talking to someone at the counter, I am out. Yeah. I can only do it. If I've got a crowd. The second time we went to a different one because you can't just gloss over the fact you can't just say I was just in a line. What else? There wasn't like, you didn't even make it to anything. It was just a room. You didn't see anything. There's nothing else to tell for that time. Uh, what do they ask you about? You didn't make it. We, we didn't stay in line. We left. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. There wasn't, there's nothing to say. Uh, the second time. Oh, the Ryan and said, this is Lime Sox. Yeah. That's what I mean. Obviously I respect that was the correct maneuver. Yeah. The second time we went because you got paid. Well, now I got more questions. What, like what would, what would possibly make you go back after that? It was a different, different one. This was, this was a different location. We were driving somewhere and what I'm trying to tell you is we got paid $500. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. We walked in. There was not a line that time. They asked three questions. That was it. Okay. The first question. How good are you at basketball? No. No. The first question was, did you masturbate that morning? If you did masturbate that morning or within the last 12 hours, you could not do it. Okay. Wow. Okay. The second question. So you, so you weren't able to get the 500 bucks. Yeah. So I explained to that story. Well, no, we were able to, the second, the second one. You're a liar. The second one was, are you a racist? I'm just kidding. That's a, that's. Oh, okay. I thought that was real. I thought that was real. The second question was, what color, what, uh, what type of pornography would you like to watch? How specific was the answer is allowed to you? Was it just like straight or gay or was there a border? Did they give you, did they give you a dropdown menu? You could choose, you could choose, uh, fetishes. You could choose skin tone. You could choose. Was it, was this like a written piece of paper? Like you wrote, you wrote whatever you wanted? It's part of the paper form. It's got like the Scantron. It was, it was iPad. You could choose any gender. They had them all. Oh, this was very recent. Oh, this was yesterday. 2013, 2014. Um, around that time. By the way, I brought this up, not because I was prompting you to tell your story. I was making a joke that you, I did not know this actually happened. It didn't. The third question was, do you want to go with your buddy or do you want to do it by yourself? Oh, what? All of this is made up. All of this is made up. Oh man. I, I really, I was really, really buying it. I don't, I believe that was real. You're not that creative. Uh, no, none of that was real. I was all just coming up. Would you like your buddy to come in? We operate on a buddy system. You can't have to one support friend in there with you. One of us said yes. One of us said no.
