Just like when I was in the NFL, you’ve got to find those smaller dudes – and when you get your hands on them, it’s bad news – all day.
Pretty much all bowlers are nice dudes.
Were the Rolling Stones good looking? Well, Jagger was, but the rest of the dudes? Maybe not so much.
I was a youngster looking up to dudes like Vicky McClure, Joe Dempsie and Michael Socha – in fact, he was a big influence on how I was able to detach drama from the all-singing, all-dancing stigma.
The Hulk has an awesome superpower. He turns into this giant monster that can eliminate several dudes at once.
I thought that I wouldn’t be able to make it because I’m a girl, but I think it was just a subconscious feeling. Pretty much every gig I went to was a band with four dudes.
I really dig Tom Ford. It fits big dudes, but it’s the cleanest, most elegant-looking clothing ever.
After the Texas Playboys and during that time, I had this band in college that I was in called Thrift Store Cowboys. It was me and a couple other dudes would write the songs.
I just like playing guys, normal dudes. That’s the stuff that I really enjoy watching: when it feels grounded.
Dudes know I’m not a threat. Chicks know I’m not a threat.
I started playing music around 13 or 14, played jazz in high school, and played other stuff in college. After college, I tried to make it as a musician. I lived in a big squalid house full of dudes outside of Boston. We were all musicians. We built this studio in the basement and played there all hours of the day.
I always wanted to be in a band with a bunch of dudes who loved Green Day and all that.
Some dudes get stubborn and get characterized as, you know, you getting a couple of dollars, selling a couple records, your flow is alright and the people got you gassed, and then you start putting yourself in a bubble and you don’t want to blend in with the new and what’s going on.
I remember when I was a kid and I used to go and see Queen play live. It was like there was Queen the album band, and then Queen the four dudes on stage playing the songs on stage, and it never lacked anything to me when it was just the four dudes playing the big songs.
The neighbor’s kid was bullying my kid. Crossing the line. Threatening him all the time. I went over there to tell him what was going on. I had on flip-flops. I wasn’t there to fight. It was a misunderstanding between a couple of dudes where one thing led to another.
When I first came to comics, it was, like, dudes. The feeling, the air, the presence is overwhelmingly male.
I played a little football when I was really young, but I didn’t start until my junior year. My cousin, who was a big influence in my athletic career over time, said you should go out for receiver. I said let’s give it a shot. I went out and played a little and caught a couple balls over a couple dudes heads.
Climbing a big wall over several days is like running a giant construction project: constantly making lists, rigging ropes, organising food, figuring out camera angles – but you’re in this crazy place with your best friends, and it does take on a party atmosphere sometimes, like a big dudes’ camping trip.
Dudes like me, where I’m from with my sound, don’t get signed! It ain’t like labels in and out of Detroit and it’s a guarantee and I got talent that everybody sees.
Everybody’s family plays them music, and my grandma used to play a lot of old-school stuff, like Ron Isley and Gladys Knight. Earth, Wind & Fire is the one I started paying attention to. My uncle introduced me to R&B, like Dru Hill, 112 and all those dudes.
I play real men that I can identify with. I have a lot of guys tell me that they relate to me because I represent the real, everyday dudes.
There was a time when I thought dudes had friendship all figured out. The focus on eating things in front of giant screens, pretending to punch one another, competing over who can utter the grossest and most profane personal insults imaginable – this struck me as the very apex of human social exchange.
I love it when these Internet dudes say to me, ‘Hey man, we just want to be ‘content neutral.’
George Jones, Johnny Paycheck all them dudes they’re respected and they were twice as crazy as I’ll ever be.
It’s passing strange that Obama, carried to a second term by women, blacks and Latinos, chooses to give away the plumiest Cabinet and White House jobs to white dudes.
I’ve changed my whole angle for dance. I’m moving towards moving back rather than hanging out with my peers. I’m reaching back to older dudes for a second.
On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards, and they’re like, ‘Oh my God, I met Chet Faker’ and I’m like, ‘That doesn’t even look like me.’
If you’re brave enough to search ‘Franchesca Ramsey’ on YouTube, you’ll find a sea of ranting white dudes pinning the ‘angry black woman’ stereotype onto my smiling face.
I get messages from 21-year old white dudes who have just gotten out of an expensive college and say ‘Hey can I pick your brain?’ and I have nothing to say to them because A. They already have all the advantages and B. My advice would be the same as anyone else: Go do open mics.
I want to come back and do talk. I want to do late-night talk the right way. Arsenio ain’t there anymore, and the late-night talk competition is weak. All them dudes is weak. I don’t even know who they are. Weirdos, and I don’t even care. I want to bring real fun back to late night where a real comedian is doing it.
I want make sure I’m showing up for the people I’m really close to and my family, and so finding a balance is really important. But I don’t want to quit drag at all. I want to be 90 years old and I want them to prop me up in the doorway and have hot dudes dance around me like Mae West. I really do!
I hang out with dudes a lot. I can relate to being the guys girl.
My heroes were Eddie Van Halen – especially after Van Halen I, II, III, and IV – Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley and dudes like that. My brother played drums and we jammed in the garage and started writing our own stuff.
