truly such a nasty and dark sided moment in the Buddy when jay's telling matt all the mean stuff 'tony' said about him. it's bad enough that jay's like "oh tony says you're a loser holding me back from my true potential" but then when he gets the cattiest, shittiest little attitude and says "oh and tony says you're weak and can't fuck" I always gasp lmao like JAY??? and it's so sad bc you can see matt's control starting to slip and his whole demeanor change instantly. it's interesting because clearly this isn't something jay would ever normally be able to bring himself to say to matt, he doesn't feel like he's allowed. but then under the tony veil he feels empowered to veer into that kind of uncharted territory with him because of course he's not the one saying it, no, it's tony! but I think this is the only time we ever hear jay allude specifically to matt's sexual dysfunction and it basically acts as the breaking point for matt to end the tony facade.
like to me it really goes back to sexuality as a taboo in their relationship and I've talked extensively about this before but because now that jay is convinced he has been hanging out with someone who hires prostitutes and has girls take their tops off to party with them, it's like he feels empowered to draw attention to the fact that matt is essentially impotent in that area. that matt can never really satisfy those kinds of optics for jay. which...that's all they are btw!! jay didn't care about the girls in the limo anyway, he was still just hanging off of tony and completely disregarding them!!!! but I think appearing normal is such an important thing to jay, the illusion that he's the kind of guy who wants those things is so much more important to him than actually ever getting them. and matt is rightfully sooo upset by this. idk I can't get over how audacious jay really is in that moment. honestly he was the one who deserved to almost choke to death at the end of the scene imo, poor matty :-(
