“Here’s some freaking hot tea for ya”
“What does that mean”
😂😂😂😂😂
The straightness of it all.
once i heard that, i scrolled down to see if someone quoted EXACTLY that 😂
lmao
im crying, i love heteros
No one wakes up one day and goes "you know what, I'm gonna be gay today"
Actually anyone could do that but they dont
I do that every day of my life man 🤣
It's something that gradually occurs. Sexuality is developed over time.
Logan Paul does or was it Jake Paul
James Hong it’s not really developed over time but discovered over time. No one gradually becomes gay or becomes straight, but they gradually discover who they are over time.
“Hey, high-five Yourself!”

It’s Higa TV, nothing they do is controversial don’t worry y’all
Gemsiey their opinions could be considered controversial to those who believe the exact opposite.
Ryan said things are changing and that he's not going to bite his tongue anymore.
Hahahahha
Gemsiey I would like but it’s 420 likes so I cant
Ausy man can a person have opinions? 😂 if anyone disagrees with you then suddenly become controversial might aswell live in a cave where no one except you going to have opinion.

why would somebody choose to be hated ? and made fun of?
Exactly. They are just born that way. And its perfectly okay
They just want some attention like little kids.
@@Nolwke But attention is supposed to make you feel good, not have you getting kicked out of your home and assaulted on the streets lmao. Use your head mate.
@@pokaay3163 yes

That's an edgy title right there!
I'm guessing redgy made it.
How??
I don't think it means what you think it means.
@@mrThorleifsen I do
@@finlayk I wasn't referring to your comment...
I'd like to think sexual preference is comparable to that of food preference. I hate shrimp, for example. No matter how much I try it, no matter how much I try to enjoy it, it just won't taste good to me. I'll spit it out. I'll gag. Yet there are others who'll eat it like candy. That doesn't make sense to me, but I don't question it. Same thing goes for the opposite. Some people hate white chocolate, I love white chocolate. It's my favorite type (inb4 replies calling me a white supremacist for stating that). I don't get why others don't; white chocolate is fucking delicious; but again, I'm not gonna question. Same situation with sexual preference. And no matter how much you try, you can't change someone's tastes in food, both literally and euphemistically. It can change overtime, naturally, though. I used to love the taste of root beer as a kid. Now I can barely keep it down. Just as an example. But you can't force me to like root beer again. It just won't happen. I'm not gay, so I don't want to make assumptions, and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like a pretty logical analogy to me.
shrimp
Yes thisssss
Holy crap that is pretty much spot on
WRONG! You CAN start liking something by eating it enough times, even if you dislike it at first. You don't like a song? Listen to it a hundred times, you'll find something you like about it. You don't like shrimps? Eat them three times a week, you'll get used to it and actualyl find something about the taste you honestly enjoy. Sexual preference is an entirely different thing though, hard and stupid to compare it to food.
Mrawesome2346 How?
Is being straight a choice? When did you decide to be attracted to the opposite sex?
Biology
MITCHELL WIGGS being straight is normal being gay is a choice tho
@@saulvasquez6236 biology says otherwise
Pedro vinícius pretty sure biology also mentions being gay is very gay
soul_sensei correct

Agree
If you mean that it’s a choice to act upon it then I think your wrong
I'm braced for the toxic comments.
They're everywhere!
@@DoozyCooch it is youtube after all.
Ryan and his friends seem like really chill and nice people. They seem like genuinely good people.
I’ve always had the thought; why would someone choose to be something that is so unaccepted by society? What would be the point of choosing to be ridiculed, bullied, harassed, and unwanted by society? I’m not in any way validating these things but that’s how the world is. I’m bisexual myself and it’s difficult being told you’re confused and you just don’t know what you want and can’t control your hormones and things like that. I don’t think anyone would willingly choose to live the lives that the LGBT+ community at times suffer from.
No its not, they're very accepted as of now, as u can see how the Logan paul thing blew up its weird how its now unacceptable to test out to be gay for a month, because ur "born" gay, when the people in the 1960s+ fought for the right of freedom to CHOOSE to be gay. I would say logan paul would have had less heat if he said Ima be bicurious and try to go gay for a month.
You are correct. You cannot legislate how people think.
@@deborah8137 they fought for the right to publicly be gay, not to choose to be gay. Gay people are not "accepted", conversion camps still exist legally. Homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, transgender. They are not choices, they are traits. LP's "trying" out being gay is appropriation for views and publicity. Genuine curiosity is okay, but posting videos about your "gay for a month challenge" is not okay.
*exactly*
@@deborah8137 we are not very accepted, many many people will not accept us because of their religious views. we get discrimnated in many ways everyday. you dont just go gay for a month. its a lifelong exploration, and your always processing information and refining your sexuality. from my experiance i went through many phases, from straight to lesbian to bisexual, and i know there will be more questions and quite possibly more phases. note that i am not saying sexuality is a phase, just that there are many chapters in the book of sexuality. you dont choose to be something, you deepen your understanding of yourself, and i think thats where a lot of people get confused
These are some deep things, haven’t heard Ryan being this wise for awhile.
The thought they were putting into this is amazing 🙌
As a gay guy, I can tell you that hearing people say that being gay is a choice is very frustrating. Like you guys said, it's as simple as asking a straight guy if they could choose to like guys, or a straight girl if they could choose to like girls; the answer is no. Nobody would choose to be gay. All it does is add an extra obstacle to your life with coming out to people and all the things that go along with it.
Lawng Wang it’s not a choice?! you’re straight lmao you got nothing to say about this
@@siah5134 If you believe that it's a choice, choose to like guys right now. Oh, wait, you can't, because it isn't a choice.
@@pancakebite I could easily tell myself to like girls. I could easily tell myself to like guys. And I'm a straight female. Honestly, I just think society is effecting this too much. If it was the 1900s, would you still come out?
@@rania6674 you could tell yourself to "like" girls, but you wouldn't actually like them. Attraction is a feeling, it's not just going to suddenly change because you told yourself to make it change. Just look at the shock therapy and torture methods they used to do in an attempt to make gay people straight; they rarely worked, like so incredibly rare, maybe 0.05% of people, if any. And the fact that they had to use shock therapy to try to convert people instead of just telling them to change their mind proves that you can't simply choose to be attracted to the opposite sex. If it were the 1900s, I would still eventually come out. Yes I'd be ridiculed much harder and perhaps my quality of life would be lowered, but those people who made that bold decision in the past have made it easier for people to come out now, and it is a good thing that people are able to come out easier now. Obviously things are going to change over 100 years.
@@Kakashislayer225Notice how I said IF you use the whole animal excuse. I was using a common example since you gave me no actual reason. And like I said, we have reasons to be attracted to people other than reproducing. Obviously we need heterosexual people to keep the human race alive, but there can be homosexuals as well, and the human race will still go on. In fact, there are problems with overpopulation around the world, so it is good that not ALL people go the typical route of having children. And no, I do not believe the stuff people are making up about gender, but if people want to believe that, they can because it isn't hurting anyone.
Hearing you guys talk about this in such a chill way was actually really great! Like I was surprised by how great it felt. Shit, I wish people were less afraid to talk about social issues in general. I think it's the fear of talking about stuff that has made everything PC. As long as you come from a place of genuineness and a wish to gain understanding rather than bashing or making fun of someone, these conversations and shouldn't just be fair game, but encouraged!! Anyway, glad you posted this. As a long-time fan and a lesbian, idk, it was just nice. It's like coming out to a friend and finding out that they're really chill about it.
I can listen to hours of this. I honestly wish it was longer. Radio show anyone?
did you check out the 1 hr 17min full episode? I just listened to the whole thing
@@slimeb0y_ Oh dang. Thanks!
I support this stuff. These clips are actually good. Thank you, Ryan, for doing you.
“Here’s some freakin hot tea for you”
“What does that mean?”
😂😂
Love these podcasts☺️❤️
I was actually quite confused about my sexuality for a while. I had never had crushes on ANYONE at all so I never really knew what I liked. But I did realise I’m straight but can still look at a girl and go “holy crap she’s sexy as all hell”, and I’m fine with that. If ur confused about who you are, know that your mind is your own and you can take as much time as you want
I love those little clips ;) .. They're like small gifts we can rewatch until the next podcast is out ^^
Everything I thought this was going to be and better x Thanks again! You've inspired my life dude x
But here's the thing... Should the answer even matter?
It really shouldn't. Because let's just say if it is, what makes the choice of being gay the wrong one?
@@lisandrodiaz6320 i agree but it still matters to show to homophobic people
Yes, it should.
People need to know that the answer is "No", because if they don't, they'll think that it could be Yes and that people can just stop being gay.
The point is that, regardless of choice, a person has the right to choose whatever (or with whoever) they want to do, as long as it is with consent.
It shouldn't matter if it's a choice or not. What people do in their bedrooms is their own damn business.
@@debries1553 Exactly, but you should know that lots of people don't think like that. They care far too much (for some reason) and that's something we can't change. So the answer needs to be clear.
Lol I'm gay and I don't like gagging that wasn't relevant Paco wtf 😂 I appreciate that you said it tho
I see you made the choice XD
Yeah, Paco's association between gag reflex and male-on-male sexuality is incorrect, but at least he used it as a springboard to more enlightened thinking, rather than allowing the thought to pull him into further ignorance.
Maybe if he had gagged on a giant sausage rather than a toothbrush...
Wait, this ain’t it chief
And by that logic all straight/bi females should be into gagging then 😂😂😂
"Just Thinking about it from their perspective" -Literally the first step to being awesome. Love you Will XD
i love the pod casts!! keep up the great wrok
Honestly what they said about extremes and a point where the opposite completely overshadows it is so true. During the Greek era it was completely normal to be sexually attracted to someone of the same sex and then we came to a phase where homosexuality was completely illegal and then again now where it is pretty much normal.
Will is me when I try to act smart
Literally everything you guys said is exactly what I think about this topic. Great minds think alike
Loved the ending the most out of the entire video!!!!!!!
Moral of the story : no.
It is not a choice it is what you like you can't force yourself to liking something or someone.
Keep doing what you love Ryan I’ll support you! ☺️
I appreciate this so much
"It's gotta be pretty frustrating"
WOOH LORD I'M TESTED EVERYDAY
I don’t know why I needed this, but I did, I had a some bullshit with a “friend” on discord and he was arguing me being gay is a choice this makes me happy
Keep doing these podcast!
I'm liking these podcast videos they should be longer👌👌👌
Being gay/lesbian isn't a choice...
I don't think you can ever choose to be gay or not!
You just are...

@@20035079 Sorry if the truth shocks you
Question for people that think sexual orientation is a choice; when did you choose to become straight?
It's natural instinct to be straight theres no benefit in being gay people who are gay want to be different and are attention hungry
I was being raised that way but I’ve definitely thought that about it and I’d ask myself all the time if I am gay. But I was bi-curious for a while.
@@Adam__Samara What an ignorant thing to say.
@@Adam__Samara Actually your born asexual and you develop your sexual preference over time soo ye but I'm honestly to tired and energy drained to actually argue rn so I'm just gonna leave this here.
@@Adam__Samara news flash, people who are gay would rather you just mind your own business, because the only attention they get are from homophobes like you who judge them and make them feel bad about who they are lmao.
really liking the podcast. some content i like from ryan again
Loving this podcast
The video should have been one second long saying: “nope”
😂😂😂
The video should have been one second long saying: “yep” made some corrections for you
You cant control what you are sexually attracted to. Think about that for a sec.
I’m excited for this
I like these kind of short videos! As long as they're not 1h long :)
I was sweating nervously the whole video the title really made me expect the worse
"Damn, here's some freaking hot tea for ya.."
"..What does that mean?"
I guess Ryan is always a little slow on the memes 😂
Really like ur podcast and seeing u guys as yourselves rather ham just u guys as characters 😊
Hell yeah my boi ryan starting to turn to posting clips of his podcast to stay relevant thats my man!
Paco: Hey, High-five yourself!
*will smacks hit face*
I am gay and come from very Conservative family my dad is even a fundamental Baptist preacher, I would be straight if I could, I even got married but that didnt change shit, I was born gay, IT IS NOT A CHOICE".
I appreciate how they are talking about things.
Wow, this is like, so deep. Truly breaking boundaries and interrogating assumptions. Philosophers.
I sent this to my 80-year-old grandparents because they still can't wrap their mind around kids yes I'm almost 60 and my parents never could accept it they drove my whole family mad thank you all for being smart courageous and full of a good spirit amen hallelujah nobody chooses to be gay
60 year old watching RUclips videos lol...
Imagine being 60
As a straight man, I love gay men. In fact I wish the whole male population was gay so I can have all the women to myself.
No homo
That would be dope but you would have to deal with women problems lol
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But the women don't want chu☠️⚰️ u for sure get no 😺
i love this comment lol
I know that this is a piece out a much bigger show, but man we just jumped right into it. I think a little intro or something would be nice.
Also, I know that they'll never get deep into this topic because it's not their place, but the fact that they even said anything and are so supportive means so much.
love the short vid
You don’t choose to be gay like you don’t choose to be straight. You are what you are and you feel how you feel
It’s a choice dude, male chose to become friends with a dude than the opposite sex. That’s how they become gay. Also male and females is the natural nature of this earth and I see it seems right. Because they can produce babies.
straight are naturally came, being gay when u feel like shit and want attention
If it was a choice then you wouldn’t question it as a kid or teen. And you can’t choose who you have a crush on anyway.
I want to listen to the whole thing!!
When did you start doing podcasts ? I love it.
Should just be a one second clip:
No 😂
Honestly lol
Being gay is a choice for majority of gays just small part of gay community is actually those who are just born with mutation in other words a DNA mistake that makes them naturally atracted to the same sex. And being gay can also be taught if you are raised in invaronment that is more like the other sex or bc child cant tell genders apart until curtain age if that "not knowing about exsistance of other sex" goes on the child may grow up gay. I can tell you guys more ways to be gay due to the fact that gays can be born, made, taught or just chosen to be. Love is love and i have nothing against gays due to my sister being lesbian, but i can prove that being gay can be a choice and anyone who says otherwise is ignorant of facts.
@@kasperimanninen lmao what dna mistakes
@@blcksvvan sry english is not my 1st language so i cant say it properly but you know that DNA is not 100% perfect there are for example longer and shorter versions of different DNA's and there can also be mutstions in the DNA aka things that are the way they are not supposed to be aka mistakes that your DNA has.
@@blcksvvan good example is MAOA gene for example if you you have shorter version on that gene then you are more likely to have more aggressive behaviour when in drunk
I mean, let's imagine being gay was a choice (tbh I'm finding it hard to even imagine it) you're in love with women and you love them so much then one day you just decide..."imma be gay from now on". Like how tf does that even make sense😂
Rivvy don’t have to imagine it’s already a thing
@@Cumslut720 so when did you decide to become gay? Or are you still controlling yourself
@@Cumslut720 Uh.. no, it isn’t. Science disagree with you pal.
doesnt changing your sexuality count?
@@pokaay3163 i choose to be str8 argue with the wall
Explaining you don’t choose to be gay to a straight person is so
Exhausting
When Paco said the part where you brush your teeth and put the toothbrush on your tongue until you gag, I knew I wasn’t alone 😂
Being gay is not a choice. The choice is whether you want to be loved and feel lived in a special way, or to die alone unhappy.
If I could have sex with a women I would have done that years ago.
when I first saw Paco in a vid I thought he was gay, who agrees
sub plz
Nope. I'm gay but never suspected him.
Nope, I grew up with him back in Hawaii, he did everything to impress the ladies.
Not really
I love the off the pill podcast
I like these podcast" clips. 😌🙌
I just respect them. Btw 4:21 AM in the Philippines XD

They r too old dumbass

This is why I love RHPC. They don’t run away from hard topics. They talk about the police, lgbt and sometimes even a political joke. They talk about these things with confidence and don’t care whether something is risky. Thank you for using your platform to still do good and make some change❤️
Ryan had to private his police video because a bunch of snowflakes tried to cancel him on twitter

Yay podcasssstttt
who chooses homosexuality tho
really, it’s a life full of discrimination and hate, being emotionally abused or even physically abused, all because they want to be something else. it’s not worth it.
nobody, because it isn't a choice
But it is. You make choices in the past that effect the future. You dont wake up one morning and decide to be gay. You make choices along your life that influence your sexual PREFERENCES.

I hope they keep making good content. We’re going from hilarious comedy videos, to podcasts.
People always question if gay is a choice , but never being straight , lol , makes no sense.
no
I love u guys
Nice vid👍
If you could choose, you would not choose the difficult option.
This has been said by many prominent gay people.
You are born gay in my opinion.
I know many gay people and have had this discussion.
You also only have to look into the tragic cases of people such as Alan Turin. A person that helped win WW2 but was persecuted to the point of suicide for his supposed choice.
Look at interviews with contemporaries such as Boy George and many others that have expressed their feelings from pre teen years.
As a heterosexual I could never change my sexual preference.
Could you?
Either that or you are saying you could easily choose to have gay sex if you want but you are just controlling it.
This is suuuuch an important topic, a topic it is especially important for straight people to talk about and recognize. We will of course hear many gay people fight for their case, but what we also need is heterosexual people discussing and reflecting on the social struggles of being gay today. That is how we grow as a community and evolve from being groups that only defend themselves. As a straight man, you wouldn’t believe the positive and kinda shocked reactions I have gotten from members of the LGTBQ community when showing some sympathy and actual understanding.
Great topic and podcast guys👏👏
Question? What social struggles are you talking about from today? So far in my life in the USA I haven't seen a person who attacked for being gay, or discriminated (but they surely did it. A gay person knowingly went into a Christian bakery and asked for a gay wedding cake could be made. Like he expected he was refused to do so by the person saying "it goes agenst my religion". He was bombarded with horrible reviews and was taken to court for discrimination. Which costed him al lot of money to fight the case. Do you call that discrimination.)
Reversed
It’s no unusual occurrence when people are disowned by their friends and family because of their sexuality. Additionally, there’s the stigma that gay people carry STDs, which makes people think of homosexuality as a danger, leading to things like conversion therapy and the non-acceptance of one’s sexuality. I know I’ve also definitely seen straight people treat gay people (especially men) with prejudice because they think every gay person must be attracted to them and they’re afraid of that. This often leads to exclusion, bullying and sometimes violence. I suggest you read the Wikipedia page on LGBT hate crimes in the U.S. (article’s titled ‘History of violence against LGBT people in the United States’).
You guys should continue this...
