this is a head gum podcast so i'm ready to introduce my new breathing style sure all this time i've been trying to fit into other people's frame i've been breathing for them from now on i will be breathing for myself yeah yeah i've been sort of trying to hide my power instead of uh fully displaying it fully unfolding it for yeah for all to see and hear i want to put a pin in that i want you to keep going but i want to put a pin in that i want you to keep going so keep saying the thing that i was i want you to keep going. So keep saying the thing that I was saying. I want you to keep, yeah, keep saying it. And so what's the pin doing in this case?

I'm putting a pin in it. The pin is holding down what you just said so that we can return to it. But I want you to keep going. I actually, well, Sean is here now. I would love for Sean to weigh in on this. Sorry, what's going on? I'm just getting here.

I was getting ready to introduce my new breathing style. Hi, Sean, by the way. Oh, Hayes. Oh, hey, Ayo. Sorry, Hayes was just catching me up on what I missed. No, absolutely. Absolutely. sorry, Hayes was just catching me up on like what I missed.

No, for absolutely. Absolutely. And Ayo said she wants me to keep talking about it. Goes like, nice. Dude. Niceness. Yeah. Yo, Hayes.

But she also said she wants to put a pin in it. Hold on. But she does want me to keep talking about it she said again hold on so wow those two things they do they not fight each other i found them to be in union with each other so i'm just confused at the push back on my pin i'm i'm sorry what is what is the pin doing well i didn't want to interject i wanted to save my i didn't want to interject so are you putting a pin in just your input on his breathing or what are you saying and i hate to bring logic to this no i'm listening i'm listening especially on this show i hate to bring logic to this no i'm listening i'm listening especially on this show i hate to bring logic to this but you know uh that's not

that's not what we normally traffic in we don't typically traffic in logic on this but we but we sorry I'm laughing we um sorry that got me good for some reason uh we um oh sorry that got me good for some reason but we um we don't typically traffic in logic on this show but is what you meant oh one second is what you meant that you wanted

to put a pin in it meaning the current conversation about the topic would stop but we would absolutely return to it at a later point in the recording yes oh okay so you didn't

want me to keep talking about it she does want to keep talking about it later yes yeah oh great no later well we would return to that specific point later but i wanted you to continue your train of thought as it stood at that time i didn't want to interject i didn't want to derail. So you were putting a pin only in your involvement. I thought it could be, I thought it could become something mutual at the end of the day, but

for transparency's sake, yeah, when the pin came out, what was I going to do? Gosh, I needed that laugh today. God, I needed that laugh. This is why people go, you buy out on the show every damn week these days. And I go, frankly, I have to.

It's the only way for me to get that laugh. Survival strategy. I'm so fucking stressed. Yeah. I'm so fucking goddamn fucking stressed. Can I say something? Please. I'm tired.

We're all tired, Ayo. Tired. Ayo, Ayo, Ayo, Ayo. I're all tired. Io, Io, Io. I'm so exhausted. I'm exhausted. I can't, you know, I can get a full night's sleep. I can get eight, nine, ten, ten and a half. Thirteen hours.

We've all done one so far. I'm exhausted, obviously. I'm wearing my husband's enormous Oxford shirt as a dress, sleeping mask over the top of my head. I'm in the left bed. He's in the right across the room. I'm going, damn it, I'm late. I'm late for the Zoom. I log into the Zoom. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Zoom snooze. No. Yeah. And let's just say I'm back in the male room. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah.

Let's just say that. And by the way, is it time to Oxford? Is it time for this to be the female room? Hmm. Oh, my God. this to be the female room oh my god oh my god we talk about the mailroom the mailroom the mailroom are you and i just check my calendar i just check my calendar yeah i i genuinely didn't get it. And I feel nauseous. Because I think I was so asleep. And you can take the layers, you know, you can read into that as much or as little as you need to. But I was so asleep. I didn't get it.

And then I got it. And so now I'm sort of nauseous on two levels. I'm nauseous that I didn't get it. And I'm nauseous that it's not. Why isn't it time? It's a really good question. Well, I just checked my calendar. I just checked my calendar.

Okay, what's it saying? And it says, it's fucking 2021 already. It's an old calendar, but still. It's high time. We talk about the mailroom the mail room the mail room how about the fucking female room yeah io yeah the beast yeah fx yeah fxx on hulu's uh-huh on who's netflix i've been saying you should play beast the beast right uh no sorry i've been saying the beast i've been saying io should oh slay papa but no it's like papa yeah no no slay papa yeah the show has a different name though but thanks sorry sorry sorry i interrupted

the buzzy new fx show oh sorry i just wanted to circle back um do you think you don't have enough do you not have enough range do you really do you think you don't have enough range to play i was just gonna say i think that you know you're worried about displaying but i just thought it was interesting as you were talking about breath that it could also be um not just something that you i want to live in now i want to put a pin in this oh yeah now i want to put a little pin in this sorry yeah what's up what's good because i'm so concerned that you're out here yeah telling the world that like you don't have the range to play a beast how will you play how will you play the cruel thanos oh guys. How will you play Odie? Well, I mean, I'd love to, obviously.

How will you ever achieve Odie level? How will you play the vicious Heisenberg? No, sure. I get that. I mean, I think you guys know I was in the final call. The ruthless Heisenberg. How can you possibly embody that? For the BFG.

And obviously, they went towards something a little more naturalistic than what i was offering which is fair how can you play the doomed titanic the whole titanic sorry but the way you reacted to that lets me know you don't think you can do it i oh why can i see it and you can't tit The whole Titanic? Why ever limit yourself? Who, me? I couldn't possibly. Ayo, yes, you fucking can. No, I just, you know, maybe it's not time yet. It's not time yet.

Sean the script is called most moons and no one else can do it but you what we're doing today is meet Iowa Debris the breakout star of xx's intense new show the bear honey she's breaking out again honey i think it's actually called the beer she chewed through the screen uh i'll have raised my glass to that um hold uh hold my uh fx uh fx's presents on hulu

the uh that thing that i'm in cheers a toast to the breakout from fx's new show the beer they made it uh so they made it the bear instead of the beast and now it's now it's the beer honey can you come in here she's breaking out again how like how do you keep breaking out anonymity is a jail. We know this. So let's just establish what we're talking about. Sure. It's a prison. It's hell.

Privacy is a joke. And how... Why can't they keep you in there? I think there's a lot of different reasons. Some definitely physical, as we've alluded to just in terms of what i can you're a greased beast and portray um definitely sorry you're greased beast greased beast oh no slide right through those bars Oh, no. Slide right through those bars.

And by the way, you may not even need to because somebody gave you the damn keys. Uh-oh. Clink, clink, clink. Go my little cup on the bars. You know what the keys are in this case? Titanic level talent. Come on. Titanic ability. After every roll, you know.

Warden Landgraf swung by the cell block at night. Jingle jangling those keys. Oops, I dropped one. The little mouse, my only friend, which, you know, whispering in my ear at night, helping me chomp away at the cinder blocks that aren't in my jail. The little mouse, Eric Schreier.

I seen you lash a bunch of pencils together and make this big long stick that's what you seen and then and then while the the old sleepy sheriff chris store is snoozing in his chair you reach the pencils out and just lift that key ring right off the belt. Well, I'm outside the damn jail at this point. I'm flat Stanley against the wall. You know, jumping and ducking over spotlights as need be. I'm seeing Mama Warden in the damn clock tower. No unnecessary jumping.

Yeah, it's Dana Walden. No extra jumps. Yeah, it's Dana after the Disney shakeup. Yeah, it's Dana after the shakeup. And who's left standing on top of the mountain with the mouse ears on? Dana's right just a fucking field

of bodies in her wake behind her burning and she holds up the victory chalice and sips mightily from it as well i'll say something mighty sip i'll say something that people might not want to hear yes parent companies are real parent companies are real i know nobody wants to listen to their parents yeah can you please tell it actually like it is? Like it is and like it should be. Which it is how it should be. Parent companies are real as hell.

And we don't want to listen to our parents, but a lot of times they know what's best for us. They actually do know what's best. That's why they're so strict. That's why. That's why what's best. That's why they're so strict. That's why. That's why there's rules. Mm-hmm. Because they're adults, and they've been through this. They also were petulant teens, you know, going,

ooh, I want to say a thousand F-words on my show. Stop. Hang on a second. Whoa. You can have six. Mm-hmm. Yep. You can have six. Yep. You can have six.

Yep. And that's it. Six F words. And if I hear a seventh one, got to your room. But a lot of times, and you know, I'm speaking for myself,

but I think, I think everybody who needs to Great You say that seventh one You're sick to your stomach You're wracked with guilt You're nauseous, your head hurts You're bleeding out your eye Because I was raised right

Because I was raised right I did have a parent company in my life Who let me know why And so as much as it feels good to be punk rock and say seven f words you know in your bones you know that you don't need it you don't want it that's how mommy really does a punishment and says okay you like saying f word so much yeah say it again say seven of them say it again. Say seven of them. Say it. Yeah. Say it seven times.

No. By the time you get to that seventh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then sit with it. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And then sit with it. Yeah. Did you have fun? It's what you wanted, right? It's like you have to wash with the whole bar of soap. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You have to use a full bar of soap. You have to wash with the whole bar of soap. Yeah, you have to use a full bar of soap. You go into the shower with a bar of soap,

and you don't come out until that thing is fully dissolved from washing. Not a single. Ayo. Hayes. What's a dating rule you think is bs i think a dating rule that's bs is that um that um you shouldn't be that that dowries are done i think dowries are popping okay that's not interesting that you would at Glamour magazine hold on when they asked you what is a dating

rule that you think is BS you said first of all you began your answer I don't know okay not the strongest start wait not often the strongest start which one are you reading are you reading

Glamour with an O or an OU? This is the one with an OU. Okay, that's the UK one. So they condensed our conversation for clarity. Well, they translated it to British. To British. And so I think some things are getting lost in translation, maybe. Maybe that's actually them saying, I don't know.

Like she was speaking all American at me. And it's like, what did Ayo say to this question? First of all saying i don't know like she was speaking all american at me and it's like what did i say to this question first of all i don't know yeah that's sort of the journalist continuing in the answer yeah that's weird hayes have you never read a magazine before well this is like transcribed oh very faithfully before you haven't read an online magazine before aww well Hayes doesn't know about other countries so you lied about so

so do you want to move on to the next one I know we've been teamed up on Hayes a little bit but I'm actually wrong I'm not done because while I do think Hayes... This feels good. I do think Hayes misunderstood the answer.

I do have a tip for when you encounter this. That feels really good. Hey, Kevin, can you get these clean just ios audio i i just want to have this um so i do think when you get asked when you get asked this question just pump myself up i have to go in for for a pitch or something yeah um none on the horizon but someday uh when they ask you a question like this, what are some dating rules? You know, I know it's not easy in the moment, but I want to have something prepared for you. You go, hey, pal, I only got one rule.

Can you give me one second? Please, please. Yeah, write it down. So they go, what are some dating rules? You go, hey, pal, I only got one rule. Yeah. I never have to pay for it unfortunately i can't say the same for you one rule i never have to pay for it sorry i never i

get it anywhere any way i want any time of day i unfortunately fuck okay sorry oh shoot disney too bad you can't say the same pal okay too bad and if it's a lady you say like lady can't say the same pal put pal slash lady lady yeah okay and go and i yeah i never have to pay for it. And lick your lips. Okay, yeah. Lick lips. Okay, so then can we just go over it really quickly? Because I do just, okay. So if somebody asks me, do you have any dating rules? Well, what's the question exactly?

This question is, what is a dating rule that you think is BS? Which is, of course, this is British Glam glamour so that's bob shite so you change you change it yeah and you just say you just say like you say hey i only got one rule when it comes to dating yeah so you can apply it anywhere okay so even if the question is asking me for a rule that is bobshite. You say, hey, I think your question's bobshite. There's only one dating rule in my whole life. That's helpful. Yeah, that helps me.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So you have that in your pocket as well. Okay. Because that was my, I guess, concern as I was writing. You know what? By the time you hit them with too bad, I can't say the same for you, you they're scrambling they don't know if you answered their question or not they're yeah

he was they were wobbling you know what i mean you got them on well i think i i've always been told um by people who i've considered mentors in my life that it's always good to antagonize a journalist and so um i guess that just only cements why you're one of the main mentors of my life um sorry he's better luck next year but um yeah this is yeah most of these journalists got a glass jaw you know what i mean yeah you hit him once with one of these too bad i can't say the same for you and the rest of the interview they're just basically begging you to approve of them I actually do know somebody with a glass jaw

it's good I think it's good it's great I've got one no it's gorgeous you get to see all the little all the strings in there

all the blood in there. Mm-hmm. All the blood. Just pull the system. Easier to clean your teeth, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, when you can see, you know. When you can actually see. Up in there.

No, for real. It's dark in the mouth. Yeah, no, it can be, yeah. I wish that my mouth was like my refrigerator where when I open it, a little light in the top came on so I could see everything in there. You know what I mean? When's that coming? Ayo, Kimberly asked you,

what's the sexiest thing about you? And you said, I think I have like and I work hard. I think I have like and I work hard. This has got to be another language barrier thing, no? That's definitely, yeah. There's no way. You know how British people are always talking oh bumble oh um i'm

hugh gronk so i think that probably i think there's like a lag probably in the article you think the article is lagging so i think there's parts where she's still talking and then i think oh my gosh then it's then it So the article's still loading. I think I have like an I work hard. That's good. I definitely have to contact UK Glamour about this. Thank you guys for reaching out to me

and letting me know about this. That's crazy. I haven't even seen the article. I have advice on how to answer this type of question if you want to get your pen back out oh yeah i think i'm good on this one because i just because of the lag like realizing the lag but okay well your well your pen is already out so we've got it i mean just yeah if it comes up again so you don't answer the exact same way and maybe this will avoid the lag

i got another way to turn just a more precise answer might help avoid the lag i think it's a little cleaner yeah so they go they say like what's the sexiest thing about you you go yeah there's no such thing as sex there's only power sex is power you say why do you think marvel movies are the most popular thing in the world because these fucking powers these guys have there's all these crazy powers like hawkeye's arrow power is basically porno shit right and then and then you go and i've got the power to read minds and what you're thinking right now is Jesus Christ how do I get this girl to agree to a second interview when the first one's still going

because all I know is I gotta see her again I didn't write any of that down no it's okay Kevin recorded it it's being released nationally so okay yeah um what do you think is the sexiest thing about you there's no such thing as sex there's only power yeah okay that's fair hayes what do you think is the sexiest thing about you there's no such thing as sex. There's only... Sorry. No, sorry. Somebody already gave that answer. I'm not done.

You're lip-switching a lot. There's no such thing as sex. You know, I feel like that's maybe the physical version of... There's only being horny. I think I'm okay with my answer maybe you think your answer i think i have like an i work hard you have to start it from where it actually starts i just told you where does it actually start strange um i don't have it in front of me but i'm assuming I work hard part we're trying to do press here not depress are you trying to do

are you trying to do opress yeah got your ass I would never do opress Ayo I have a quick answer to another one of the questions they asked you oh sure they wanted to know what's the most romantic thing you've ever done you go you go like this this interview

and it's just getting started because what you did say was like that you got your parents a massage. I just think like, especially because like sexiness was also part of the interview. It's just going to make a lot of readers really uncomfortable. I think that's good. I think that's good. That one, of course, begins. Kimberly asks you, what's the most romantic thing you've ever done? The response begins, I mean, I mean well okay that's another

that's lag I think it was romantic that must be a lie because you haven't even said what it is yet but it wasn't romantic for me I got my parents a couple's massage for Christmas. I did get them a couple's massage for Christmas. That is true.

I think that counts, but now I'm like, was it weird that I said that that's romantic? Little Christmas romance. So you knew you were being weird. Santa brought romance. Just because I'm an actress now doesn't mean I still don't have my god this is so sad

this is so i was born to be random i was born to be awkward sauce i was born to be weird do you want to hear the saddest thing i was born who was your first celebrity crush? Kim says. Sorry, who was my first celebrity crush? Celebrity crush. Oh, man. I had a bunch that were pretty serious. Not so easy to say words. Leonardo DiCaprio

was a big one. And Kimberly says, what was the first thing you saw him in? And I always say, I think Titanic maybe. Oh, my gosh. She had a dream

of being the Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio was running around on her... On her back or whatever. On her desks. DiCaprio's like crabbing her foot or whatever and saying he's the king of the world. Oh my God.

It's sort of beautiful, but it's heartbreaking as well. I'm sorry that I sort of lashed out earlier when you guys were saying I should be the Titanic, but I think now you can understand where I'm coming from. I understand. We were picking at a wound, fresh wound. Emotionally.

And I think I'm'm you know i definitely i've been working on myself i've been going to therapy i'm more prone to avoidance i think than direct confrontation and so i think that was like a real moment for me where i wanted to step away instead of saying my first dream potentially my only dream was to actually be the titanic and to to have you know okay we're getting some lag here this is like the top of all your answers where it's wait what happened stuff i can't quite hear no wait oh shoot and you started to sort of fall apart at the end no it's good that you told me about the lag though it's good um where did what was the last thing you heard i don't even know that's okay that's awesome i don't even know the thing about this show with me it's it's ephemeral i do want to just and haze will you follow up and say what the thing about

this show is with you after i would love to know after what after sean waxes on about the um ephemeral nature of this show for him oh unless there's no waxing uh hang on let me get some wax yeah it's like ephemeral. It's like the dust from a butterfly's sides and back. You know? Where it just sort of goes. It's there, but you can't have it. Because it goes away. And it's small.

And the show's very small as well. Too small to see, in fact. But not too small to not hear. Hayes? Hayes' turn. Yeah, I guess the show, to me, is a female role. So sort of... is a female or real? Let me get a look at my calendar.

Sort of similar, but not quite the same. Bring it up. Let me get a look at the calendar. I think it's time for it to be a female or real. Kimberly asks, are you an astrology person? And you respond, I'm a Libra. So that's not what...

There aren't just like some people that are like astrology people and like some who are. I understand the sign for sure but like everyone has one of these it's not like some people have them and are astrology people and others do not if that's the way that um that things, then I would never deny it. So you think that some people are astrology people? There's astrology people. There's people with no astrological sign whatsoever.

Once again, if that is the way that you believe things, then I would never deny it. Wow, that's really nice. That's very polite. Okay, well, I don't want to argue with that then. I mean, you've given me so much room here to just kind of have any idea I want about astrology people. Well, there's no such thing as

astrology. There's only horny power. Hollywood Handbook. This week on the Patreon, the boys have robots help them make a pro version, Carl and Ahsan discuss gym scams,

And the question that I always get, people stop me and they say like, hey, I trust you. I know when you endorse a product, it's something that you really use and care about. But there's one language that I'm trying to learn.

And that's body language. Can Babbel teach me body language? Yes.

what does that mean does their whole finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull down the spider down yeah But I've seen this too after a lot of dates. And I need and have needed something like Babel to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger? Because it looks like an emergency. I know I was supposed to do something. Or how about those people that stand in the street? They're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the

middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost and they're really aggressively like pushing it out i'm I supposed to pull over and get out of the car? Or just do it out the window as I'm going? That's what I've been doing. That seems dangerous. But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners, I'm sure.

I don't want people coming up to my mom in the damn Hannaford market saying,

oh, oh, I heard you've been sending crazy things to your daughter. And she goes, oh yeah, like what? And they go you know give an example um because with podcasts i think a lot of people can like they start playing the podcast hearing people's voices and um and so i just they start playing it and then you know by the end of the day my mother and i are um we're not daughter and mother anymore you know what i mean we're not parent and child um we've turned into something much nastier wow um and i've seen this about a parent company but i don't want to see it in my damn parents family home this is what i'm hearing this femme breaks out and then she gets

out the friggin she starts mixing the cement she starts cutting it into bricks she gets the grout and she lays bricks back over that hole that she used to break out and no mom no anyone else is getting the getting the same shine mom will stay anonymous with her crazy responses. Her crazy responses will not be shared. Well, because the responses become about mom then. When it's I'm getting crazy responses, that's not me. Yes, that's me. That's me. I get, look at what I got.

And then it's like, well, what are the crazy responses? It's like, oh, don't worry about that. Because that's mom. Mom did the work there. It's my interview right um do you get to hang out with the old man at all when you're doing the beer because it's because i know they're both fx so like is the old man ever there and are you are you nervous um no he's really the old man's so sweet and is he's really nice yeah he's so nice but he's like funny he's like funnier than you think and oh wait also i don't know if this is like a spoiler if anybody's watching the old man

like i don't know if fx would want me to say this but he's not actually old okay don't yes don't kevin cut that because i could kind of tell the way they're treating him in parts of it as he's being young yeah but i don't i think like i want people to find that on their own yeah yeah sorry that's kind of unprofessional of me sorry no you're excited you're excited by content. I love that you still have that little kid in you who loves shows and showbiz and knowing a secret and figuring it out. The old man is not old at all. And wanting to share that, that's so beautiful. you know 100 150 breakouts already in this business after being a part of so many of grandma's favorite binges like that's really beautiful actually that gives that inspires me to keep that sort of wonder yeah i mean i think you know it's it's it's hard um again not just emotionally but physically to be what's up i'm just gonna see my heart um oh okay i no go ahead i'm gonna go i don't where are you going where are you gonna he's
