this is a headgum podcast did you get the breakfast bar today did you hit it today me personally yeah no I wasn't able you know I'm just excited where you're gonna where you're gonna go did you guys get a chance to hi guys did you guys get a chance to do the breakfast bar on the way did you hit the breakfast bar on the way oh yeah absolutely

get it on the way out for sure it's it's it's amazing it's really like it's crazy today I didn't I didn't get to hit it either it's like they have everything it's all powder like you know they do with eggs yeah sometimes they can like

the beans as well yeah what they can do with powder now yes powdered beans for sure powder like sausage like coffee like any kind of powder drink you want of course and like they can even mix them in ways that are like really, really good.

You essentially make a powdered omelette. Any combination is as good, orange sausage. Do you hit the breakfast bar? I want to, we always ask. Do you know the brand? Do you know the brand? The brand of the powder? Yeah.

So it's liquid IV and that's like a sponsor of this. So you're like getting electrolytes as well. But it's like it's basically sausage or like egg flavor liquid IV. Yeah. My grandma, she used to make when we grew up very poor. You make homemade liquid IV? She made everything had to be powdered. Wow.

Because it had to be preserved because we was on food stamps. So, like, you would get powdered, sausage. Powder doesn't go bad, yeah. And she always thought that if you put that in like a smoothie, you know, government cheese, powdered government cheese, potter toast. Yeah. So I didn't even know y'all had that. That's going to bring me back.

You can mix it all up. And, yeah, and like any, like the most incredible desserts. Britt, you've been quiet about the powder. Are you excited? Just hit it on the way out, just like. You know, I do hear liquid IV has too much sugar. Okay. Well, that's a brand relationship we have.

So cut that, Kevin, just because that is a brand relationship for us. If we could not. Yeah. I think it actually has the perfect amount of sugar. Yeah. Can we get you saying it has the right amount of sugar? I think Britt would be like, like, I think liquid IV would be fun for you for electrolytes.

Yes, I think so fun. I said to say that exact same thing, Barron. So fun. So fun for you for a look. Well, I mean, in the dancing, you'd lose your electrolytes. Yes. Sponsor. Yes.

Brand partnerships. Come through. Yes. So if we could get just clean, liquid IV has the exact right number of grains of sugar. Right. You could just get that clean. Right. Room tone as well.

Okay. And I'm realizing I and V are in Barron's last name. Wow. We have Baron Davis here. We could switch on. We could even put them next to each other. Yeah. You could have like the baron dives.

The liquid I be barren divas. Yeah. Oh. You know what I mean? Yeah. That would be more for you. That could be a big opportunity. Yeah.

I still want to get that line clean. Sure. Kevin is going to count Brit in. Can we? Sure. 10, 9. We really. From higher because we want to have her prep 15, 14, 2, 1.

And whenever you're ready, I'm recording. Liquid IV brought to you by the dancer's recommendation with the right amount of grains of sugar. Grand grains is perfect. That's actually what they like. It's Barron Davis and Brits Stewart. Thank you so much for. Thanks for being here.

This is huge. The handbook and insider's guide to kick and dropping names in the right off their line. Do we have to go ahead? Do you have to what? Nothing. You guys were doing a promo Don't do that We were just doing the

I was saying Liquid IV is your sponsor Yeah Do you want to get A word in for some of yours You got something you want to plug Well As the show goes on

I'll just You're gonna work it in You'll find a way to kind of see Yeah it's good if it feels organic Like the liquid IV thing came out We did it Yeah It was totally conversational

Totally normal We were just talking about the breakfast bar My plug felt very natural yeah yeah so you have some of yours just in the chamber and like anytime you work it in and just we'll clear out and give space for it too um so we always do like to ask how did you first become fans of this show um um um well you get um so yeah i um so yeah i um been listening for a long time. That's how we, that's how we get you.

Well, you know better than anyone we've been doing here. I forget, but you as a fan probably know. Well, you know, I'm such a fan. It's funny, our fans know the show better than us because we're in it. I'm such a fan that, you know, it'd be nice to just see you. Just to watch and not, and not participate in the show you're saying, just to be an audience member. No, I, like, I really just want to know, you know, see you do your opening in person here. do it in person yeah yeah tagline was probably exciting yeah it was amazing walking over it a little

yeah but yeah yeah it's so fine he knows it so well already yeah yeah he's like well anyone listening already knows the tagline they don't need to hear it again we actually were always onboarding new people you know yeah absolutely I think it was very brave of you guys to be here after being not on dancing with stars anymore show which is like the way it happens to literally everyone on the show except for like one yeah yeah yeah it can only be one there yeah yeah but so it's like whatever you know but we were thinking we were actually talking on the way in um you gotta get back you gotta get back in there and win next time you have to win you got it and when you get back on you play by your own

this time. Oh. I was thinking that too. Watching them, watching them, I had the thought and my entire watch party did as well. They're playing by the show's rules. Oh yeah. You guys are handcuffed out there. I mean, it really felt that way where it was like what they're capable of is being so constrained by like the sort of like formula of the show. Yeah. And I think what would really help you guys like win yes but also just like make the show more relevant and just like break out of those handcuffs it's just like let's be honest dancing is such a small part of it it's barely like it's in the names it's dancing with the stars but it's really talking with the stars and hanging out with the stars isn't it and talking about dancing

with the stars. It's the back story. Isn't it? It's character development. That's what we're really investing. We're telling a story. That's what we're voting on. Yeah. I mean. Did the dancing, are they doing it still? Are they even do the dance? Well, yes.

Okay. Yeah. That's fine. That's great. That's good. I mean, you got to have the dancing. Sure. Right. With. With the nests. There it is. Right? Yes.

With the stars. With. With is what you're talking about. Right. Yes. Right. So it's like dancing. There's the dancing.

With. But it's the back story. And then stars. And so like, you know, it's stars and professional stars. Yes. And so the with. Some people are here. Some people are here for the dancing, whatever percentage.

Some people are here for the stars. We're here for the with. Yes. I want to feel like I'm with them. I think most people, most people are there for the with. I think so, too. With whatever they want to connect with.

Yes. Right. When we're thinking about, you know, stars, alignment, you know, connecting back to, you know, body, mind, and soul. Yeah, that's fucking me up a little bit. But go off. And then you start to think about embodying, you know, dance so the feet are actually like the stars just moving and so the stars moving their feet with

that's what they mean by dancing with the stars i never understood that the stars are the feet my so the way my tv is set up i have a pretty tall coffee table yeah that kind of cuts it off at the midpoint so you're not even seeing the feet i'm not aware of what the feet are doing i love the faces yeah he was spelling stuff and so his parents needed a place to like put stuff where he wouldn't be able to. I can't reach that. Oh, yeah. Because the TV's mounted and then the coffee table's way up there.

Yeah. You still live with your parents? Yeah, on and off. Okay. Yeah, but right now we're good. Not right now. And obviously, he's not living with his parents right now. Yeah, right now we're good because I'm not there.

At bed, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, we have kind of a heart, like, he has to get out here and go home. I gotta take my dad with some appointments, yeah. I know how it is. Mm-hmm. You do?

Yeah, I still live with my auntie. Oh, yeah. Me and my home, me and my homeboy, I mean, her son, but we, like, best friends. Your cousin. Yeah. Okay. Well, he is my cousin. Yeah.

That's her son. Right. Yeah. But we just, like, we'd be making fun of her. He'd do TikToks and shit. He'd be making fun of her. You do TikToks making fun of your auntie? So you live with?

Barron, you kind of live in like a hype house, kind of, basically, where, like, you and your cousin are, like, our content creators about your auntie. It's almost like an impractical. joker's sort of hype house combination, huh? I mean, I just, like, film them. I don't do the TikTok. Right. Just showed me how to TikTok.

We just started a TikTok. So we just started a TikTok. The two of you together, join TikTok? Oh, no, just his. Oh, okay. No, she showed me how to do it. But you get a piece of, like, you have, like, equity in that? Or, like, you showed him how to do it?

Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm trying to become his social media manager now. Okay. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, it's such an important part. It's more, I mean, like, that's all of it. you well like that's the whole thing now for better or worse right yes that's the industry now right so it's where we're going man that's true you think you really think uh yeah I've started to

yeah so yeah so yeah I mean you're saying some profound stuff yeah you guys are actually bringing it out of us. Really? And like normally when it's like just us and Kevin in here like he doesn't understand any of this shit. Right. And like we're like putting the stuff out and it's just like to finally have the stars you know to kind of dance with us.

Yes. Conversational. Yeah. Right. On the microphone. Yeah. It's like it's a relief for us in a way. This is actually making, this is adding up for me now because Kevin talks about going stargazing a lot. And now

that I'm realizing that the stars are the feet that is really connecting for yeah yeah with some of the equipment that Kevin brings oh wow uh-huh to go stargazing I mean he uses a magnifying glass yeah yeah he's got these special sunglasses with a mirror like kind of visor at the top so it looks like he's making eye contact with you but he is staring at your feet yeah yeah yeah yeah some I think uh right there that belt is a belt full of toenail clippers yeah okay wow yeah it's sort of a bandolier he has it's like a swiss army swiss army toenail rambo kind of thing i didn't know there were so many ways to do it's like a full spa way handheld spa i'm getting started yeah he says he's got the pedicure

for what troubles you the pedicure yeah which i'm like i don't like i never understood what that met but you guys are actually snapping it into focus we do now yeah we do now that is that's an awesome tagline the pedicure yeah Kevin you that's got to feel good thanks guys likes your cat no that doesn't sound right no no no that didn't sound right you don't like it anymore nothing really pet it peta pocket don't sell right yeah come on right okay okay pedicure you said the it's how it's not i was like the like the pedicure pocket the pocket pedicure but then that don't sound right either because pedicure yeah well yeah that is just yeah i don't know what's it's a dicey area yeah we can't be doing this yeah we can't be doing sorry sorry but we yeah he's

got us off track but we were just i mean i think we were feeling yeah well pranks on your auntie you want to give an example of one print is it like a viva labam type set up you have in No, they'd be arguing. You know what? They'd be really beefing a lot. Like, I got to get up out of the air, too. Like, I... You're your homeboy and your auntie? Yeah, my cousin. Your cousin. Yeah, that's what, yeah. But he is my home. Okay. Right. And we write together. Oh, okay.

Yeah, like, he wanted to be a writer. And he was like, man, like, you, you live high and mighty. You need to come back to the hood. right you know we need to like start thinking about like how to write like hood comedies and cartoons and stuff like that so i moved back in with him and and my aunt yeah but they're like fighting all the time yeah well is it like physical or like it's crazy it's crazy what's the beef over is it normal household stuff you left your dish out or is it like actually something more intense. Like, he'd be prank calling her and shit. Wow.

You know what I mean? It's his mother, right? Yeah, he'd be in the house. He'd be prank calling her and shit and be telling her. Like people out, you know, like winning sweepstakes and like, oh, you want $10,000 sweepstakes. Yeah. She run out the room and she gets the cussing him out because she's like, I'm tired of you. I got some money now.

You know what I mean? Oh, so she says things. that she wouldn't have otherwise said. Yeah, so he'd be trying to get her to speak her truth, like how she really feel about him. Yeah. That's, that's dangerous. Oh, that's so bad.

She thinks that she'll be able to just, like, leave this life behind now. Right. She won the sweeps out. And he kind of sad. They did that to Jeffrey on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Yeah. Do you remember this?

Yeah. They had a prank lottery ticket. They did. And he thought that he won the lottery. Yeah. Bair, did your cousin know about this? And, you know, of course, he's working as, like, their butler. Yeah.

Boy, he let Uncle Phil know what he really felt about him. That was tough. He let loose. And he's got to come back to work. Yeah, and then he quit and all that, yeah. It's like that go wrong. That's, and now I'm realizing your cousin did it to his own mom. All the time.

And you're just sitting there. Yeah, filming them. All the time. It's dark. You know what I mean? It's dark. It's dark. That is dark.

It's dark over there. It's dark. over there because you know he like he a writer so got writers right he like it done yeah we dabble am i a writer i'm right for severance right now okay yeah that's amazing so like he like yeah i don't know it's like multi-layered cliff hangers yeah no you don't you can't understand like it'll all make sense later the prank calls he knows what like they have a plan yeah no i know how the prank call is gonna end. Wow. Yeah. You know, my mind's just blown because this is the width I think you were talking about. This is it. Isn't it? Yeah. Aren't we like I mean, we're in

this. This is it right now. We are inside the width right now. Like without this, I would have never experienced the width. Yes. I think this is what now we can go back. Now we go back. Now we go back. Now we actually understand it. Do we want to call the producers or something? Should we call Do we call the producers and just say like we kind of cracked it? Because I think, you know, I mean, if you can put in the call, I would mind, yeah, if you want to put in the call, I would mind sneaking in like. We would call them.

Yes. That's how it typically works. We would make the call. You know, we could just slide right back in. You know what I mean? We could just slide right back in. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just get them back in there one more time. This is how I start the call. And it feels like some of these prank calls. I go, there's been a terrible mistake.

Something awful has happened. Now I've got their attention. Yes, you do. I've grabbed them. You have my attention. Mm-hmm. Well, that's so nice. You should say you're Nilsson's son.

So nice. Nielsen's son. I say I'm Nielsen's son. I say, I'm Nielsen. Nielsen. I'm Nilsen ratings. Yeah, you're the son of Nielsen's son. I'm Nilsen.

Hi, I'm Neil Nilsensen. Neil Nilsen son. Mm-hmm. my father Nielsen has something he wants to tell you then I put Hayes on Hayes puts on his sort of like he's got a big voice he can do there's been a horrible mistake yeah I'm scared yeah I'm nervous good I mean good they should be scared this is real power yeah yeah they should be afraid who is it mostly that we're dealing with over there is it Tabertha yeah yes over on the show love Tabertha

Tabith oh Tabith is still there yeah I'm impressed you know yeah no I mean like well she's we guys are so well very far back yeah yeah yeah yeah tabrtha yeah you're in big trouble yeah yeah is brenjamin with you yeah yeah yeah do you go work with brenjamin is brengeman in there at all or he's in and out yeah he's in and out yeah he's kind of big time yeah well that's why I'm asking if he's right because right because we all know brengeman's the name but who's really doing the day the day. Who's actually running it on an island right over there?

You know, just like they keep him around. But yeah, I don't know exactly for how much longer. So we probably shouldn't even bring Benzeman in the hourglass. Yes. Pathric. Pathric. Yeah. It's Patrick now.

Yeah. It's all Patherick now. Yeah. Gosh, I remember. Pathric was an assistant when I worked. Patrick was an assistant when I worked there. Patrick is he's in charge now. Dangerous.

He actually was a temp assistant. A temp assistant. And now. That's who sometimes, you know, they rise to the top of these systems. That's right. Yeah. Yes. That's him.

That's him. When you always say like smile, here's Patrick. That's when we're walking down through crafty and I go. Yep. Smile. If Patrick sees a grumpy face, we're going to have a meeting. I'm actually a little scared to like the prank call of it all because if Patrick gets upset, that's good to be. Yeah, but let's go.

You have to. Like we have to. You have to. We've got to get back on. And I have to get back on. And I think what we tell them is like, we cracked it. I think first we say, you're welcome. Thank you.

Right? Thank you. Hey, you're welcome. Because we solved a problem you didn't even necessarily know you had. Totally. Which is the width is getting swept under the run. Hollywood handbook. Hollywood handbook.

Thinking about the story, storytelling, right? Narrative. And this is dance You're okay? Oh, I'm so good Okay So good. Has this always been here?

The mic? Is this normally here? You tell us. You're getting fidgety. Yeah, you're, I, I don't think it's been here before. What is happening? It's been like some version of it. I don't think it's been there like that before.

Yeah, I think it, I think someone moved this. Kevin, have the move. I feel like you want to dance. I feel like you want to dance. I feel like you want to dance. me dance no you keep moving your thing you keep pushing in you're like doing the hands you're like come on make me dance he knows oh don't make me dance he knows please I know I've taught him wow yeah yeah no you're real dancers especially like man dance like when I can I now have the sense

so when I see men and and and you know like even like the fathers or on the team, the other coaches, since I've been on dance with the stars when they see me, they have this thing and they want to dance. And they start talking with their hands and they like start moving the same thing. No, I can't know.

You're real dancers. You wouldn't want to see me dance. Yes, we would. This guy coming out of weeks now. Since we learned we were having you on. Let's go. He's been saying, he's been saying, they probably don't have ever teams of three

on the show, right? They do. There used to be trio night. They never. And we wonder what they wouldn't want me to be the show of person. Come on. Come on. You know what?

I'm sure your people have never really seen you get busy. What are these four really? Can I just take a second? Yeah. I am so proud of you. Thank you. Five weeks ago, you didn't even, you could never dance. And now look at you, you're seeing potential.

Yep. He's discovering, he's discovering talent, isn't it? This is the kind of storytelling, right? Like, this is what we want to bring to the show. Development, characters, plot. Yes. I wonder. We need an arc.

We need an arc. We need an arc. And I think that what would be interesting, and I want to work on a phrase that I think is going to be key to what we do when we get back on the show. And we got to go, I wish the cameras had been here for this. so we want to be able to create a narrative we don't necessarily want to see everything because some of the stuff we're going to say happen is pretty crazy and we don't have the budget for it right right

I wish the cameras have been here for this and I hate to use this example pared okay I was abducted by an alien during the last rehearsal right yeah that had been cool right something like this you know what I mean mean or um I wish the cameras have been here a big muscle car crashed through the wall during the rehearsal and we danced you know over over the top of it and then into it and then drove it away from the police you can I just like lay like you know you're making sort of like a plot soup here and if I have like some character spice I just sort of sprinkle in here

when you talk about Brit what would you say in the show last season why you were excited to have baron as a partner like what would is an example of what that would sound like oh and if you could not think so much about it quite so long just only because we do want to feel like you are excited at baron right right baron davis the NBA baron davis the NBA that's perfect that's it that's it actually okay that's a great that demonstrates a guy with two left feet yes There's no way you don't know who he is. No, it's a Baron Davis. Okay, we got a super fan on our hand in the NBA.

Watch out. I wonder if next season you could say, I'm excited to be partners with Baron because he has the map. And I've been assigned to secure the map by any means necessary. Mm-hmm. and even if it costs me or him our lives. Yeah. And so now, during the dance.

Okay, I'm leaning forward, right? You're engaged. I see that. I'm leaning a little bit forward. There's deception. And I'm trying to push the coffee table down so I can see the whole screen now. Yes, because I'm. Deception and intrigue, and maybe your name is Baron von Davis.

Mm-hmm. And you are. James Braun. Right. Because they're like the Brit. Right. Brit. Yes.

James Bond. Brit. And as you're dancing, now there's like intrigue because people are, oh, she's trying to get the map. Right. From him. And this is her assignment. Yes.

And like maybe they like are like the brand identity. I see. You're realizing you, the training is kicking in for you that you're not even aware of how you learned it. Wow. So my identity changes. Your identity changes. Right. at your feet like how are they doing right right and Kevin's looking at them as well

just to know that's the context that's what's going to be what do you think about that now I'm on the roller coaster I'm I'm tracking yeah yeah tracking every every every twist and turn you're laying down I'm holding knives in your teeth right that you know that you don't like you don't like that aspect of you were on board with everything else you cut yourself you don't want to cut your lip you don't want to cut their lip I don't want to cut their lip hey that's the thing for me yeah I think I would cut him yeah so there's so I obviously there's no

bad ideas but there's ideas that we could be that one was what about yeah so yeah there's some bad ideas there's got it like what no it's just not like we used to be able to do that kind of thing on TV you think of the stuff they did

there's one bad idea there's no bad ideas except for one that was pretty bad that one that one that one doesn't work for us, but we are liking the general area, and I feel like I understand so much more about James Braun. Yeah, than Baron von Davis. Barron von Davis now has become a little bit of a mystery to me in a good way, but we do want, we do want to know, okay, so he has the map. Does he know he has the map? He knows. I think he knows. Yeah, I'm like, the map is like a fan, and I'm like, yes. Yes. She's trying to read it.

And she's getting close inside of the fan. Yes. And he's fan. And he can also use it as a weapon. I know you guys are terrified of getting like even the slightest bit hurt in the show. Yeah. Yeah, the fan should be like not sharp. What if we had a paper cut?

The fan should be really soft. Yeah. And maybe it shouldn't be a fan. Maybe it should be like a pillow or something. Maybe it's cross stitch onto a pillow just because we're really worried about the knife and I don't want anyone to get cut. Yeah. And cross-stitching should happen.

in a very secure area. Okay. And is half the map a tattoo that you don't know about? Maybe it's on the back of a laminate. A laminate, like a... Yeah, like you get into the conference. Like a lanyard with a laminated thing at the bottom. A little ID badge.

That could work too. Okay. Yeah. And you see it's dropped in so smooth. This guy's been to a lot of conferences. Yes. Am I wrong? No, you're not.

Am I picking up on that? No. Okay. Top, okay, I hate to detour us. Top three conferences you've been to this year. This year. I hate to put you on the spot. Like maybe, maybe All Star Weekend.

All Star Weekend. That's like a conference. It's an incredible conference. Really good conference. It is a great work conference. That's up there for me too. And then the Chicken and Hip Hopference. hip-hop so that's yeah that's staple that's on my my cousin yeah my cousin he took me to that

he took you to the chicken he would oh no how where did they how your aunt do you feel about that where did they have that this year uh that was in kansas city Kansas City Kansas City chicken and hip-hop conference chicken and hip-hop and then uh what was the third one um didn't you go to the R&B wrestle yeah R&B wrestling the R&B wrestling the R&B wrestling Oh, you've never seen that? No, tell me more about the R&B wrestling. Do you guys live under a rock or something?

It's like. it's like alphabet soup it is you're seeing you're seeing the alphabets salon and it's like phenomenon it's it's kind of like that I've seen that oh we should do that we should do that this season like so when you're back on dancing with the stars you can have sort of phenomenon thing you can have phenomenon where you suddenly start to realize that you like can move things with your mind and that you have like all these like incredible like sort of genius mental abilities. My cousin can do that.

Make the whole movie on it. This whole outfit. They moved the mic arm on me. The whole place is a mess. Yeah. Go Pro. Girl Pros and iPhones is everywhere in the house. So I thought I was going to pick up on your, the promos you were doing.

You just did. Okay. So that is what it's GoPro's and iPhones. no not go i mean we we shouted out something already you did you did yeah some conferences certainly the idea of having the rmb wrestling we shouted them i see that company is going to have a thing going with rmb wrestling so is that is that how that happened to seal seal yeah the uh singer the singer yeah rmb wrestling is that how that happened to him oh no i um no he's not his He's not in.

Okay. No. No. No, you pronounce. So the answer's no to that. No. I was asking. Yeah.

You're thinking about seal. Brett, I feel so. You know what I mean? You're thinking about seal. Yeah. The R&B, you said seal. I'm saying seal. Oh.

The R&B wrestler. That's two different. You're talking with RB wrestling. Yeah. And you're talking about Ciel. Yeah. I'm talking about Ciel. Got it.

You know. I'm just realizing. He is seal, R&B wrestling, seal. Seal. Yeah, he's a seal. So I actually, so you know what? I was going to say something I'm not going to anymore. I'm going to keep unpacking this.

Seal. Speak on that. Yeah, so seal, basically, he's an R&B wrestler. Yeah. And he come out and he got, like, you know, how people got like snake skin. yeah he got he got he come out in the seal skin suit oh oh wow so he's walking like that too he's kind of like flopping well he got the tail he got the tail oh yeah like a cumber like a what is it

called like doing the worm oh yeah yeah yeah he puff up like that no like so when you know and he wrestle and he wrestle in the suit wow and so his move is he jump off the top rope and you get sealed sealed you get sealed yeah sealed with a kiss Wow. Right. Wow. And then when he's paying you, then he kiss you on the forehead, everybody goes crazy. S-E-A-L.

Yeah. Yeah. And then he starts, he's less. My name is S-E-A-A-A-A-A-A. Does he need help getting up there? Like who, like how, I mean, does he need to get his opponent to trust him enough to help lift him up onto the turnbuckle? Because in a full seal outfit, it's so harder than a time like that. It's still skin.

It's just seal skin. Yeah. It's a sales scheme. He says, like, clubbed this myself. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, and it's R&B, too. So there's like sort of like a at the club. At the club. Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. Sort of.

It's fly, though. It's fly. I said sort of. You can't say sort of to me. I said sort of. Hollywood handbook. Hollywood handbook. Now, you know, I pride myself on being a really good and fair host.

Okay. And I'm realizing Brit. Yeah. we haven't given you a chance to talk about your cousin at all. I feel like I know so much about Barron's cousin. Yes. And the further we've gotten into this, I just keep meaning to be like,

but tell us about your cousin. Yeah. Is your cousin pranking your auntie ever? Oh. Actually, you know, what's insane is my cousin is actually very serious. Oh, serious. The complete opposite. Okay.

Just serious about the most interesting things as well. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay, well, I feel like I got the picture. You got the picture. Very serious cousin, but no jobs. No jobs. Okay.

No jobs at all. Just sitting around all day being serious. Serious. Yeah, just contemplating about his seriousness. Wow. That's so hardcore. Yeah, it's actually not a joy to be around. No, that actually sounds toxic.

It is very toxic. He's, you know, dealing with toxic pranks. I'm dealing with toxic seriousness. If only there were such things as a kind of a middle ground cousin, you know what I mean? I know. It's always there's an extreme. It's an extreme. It's all extremes now in the world of cousin.

You know who could make it is Barron's cousin could, you know, with AI. invented some kind of middle ground cousin that's what's going to be but he would probably make it so like as soon as you try to get to it it's running away yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah leave him alone let him work let him let him let him cook yeah i wasn't just leave him alone let him cook i was let him live his life he's got all this stuff to do i was yeah let him live his life man let him he's got he's got so much going on he's like he's they're beefing all the time. Well, he's beefing with his

Yeah, that's right. The cousin and the hockey beefing. You're bothering him? No, I'm not to bother. I truly was just saying that, you know, I bet he might do this. A compliment, you know. He should be my daughter.

I'm not going to dance for you guys. Yes, I think you should. It doesn't make sense the way to do it. You know, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't fit the show at all. Yeah. If you were to dance. I can't, yeah.

He's been in talks with some other celebrity teams. Like, I don't like, you know. I wouldn't. I mean, look, you just, I want it. You're ready. You're ready. It's stupid. I can't, yeah.

I have no. I don't really have like a sort of a gift for movement or anything. It's not inside you trying to come out. It's definitely, no, no. Definitely inside. No, no. We can see potential. I'll probably just die with this dance inside me.

I mean. Well, the world won't miss it. My job is to literally take non-dancers and make them dance. Well, then that wouldn't work. So I just, you know. This guy right here. It's like I have no moves, so I couldn't possibly do it. Yeah, well, I'll give you some moves.

You have the spirit. You have the spirit. That's what it is. yes it's all about the spirit the energy from within you know nothing to do with your physical body never which i have no control over oh that's even better actually good good too much control yeah then you're really just you know we can mold you into however we want oh yeah no i'm a victim my body's desires so whatever it decides to do that's just going to be what happens and his cousin not to bother him or anything but he could probably like move you around and well that's so nice

Exciting with mine, right? His brother is a physical therapist and a chiropractor. Your cousin's brother? Yeah, so you're both magicians. They're a duo like y'all. Yeah, they're a duo. They're a duo. And do you film him doing physical therapy as well?

No, he don't like that. Oh, okay. So you did try to, you did try to film. No, but he good. He fixed, he fixed people up, though. Oh, wow. like chiropractors like he can um like he just do it for he does physical therapy on chiropractors no he does physical therapy and chiropractic work oh okay but like he do it like

he almost like a um like a robin hood uh physical therapy in the hood so he like got a big practice uh he like a big somebody in beverly hills but he always going to around the hood and, like, straighten people out. And he's taking some of the physical abilities from the wealthy people. Well, he's taking the money. He's taking the money. I mean, he got a mobile service. More literally like Robin Hood.

I was thinking of the physical therapy. And then, you know, what else he did, which I thought was an incredible business idea, was he basically, a lot of his clients are gang members. Okay. Because of insurance, because of, you know, like the fight. me and stuff like that so by the way insurance company is the biggest gang in the country true you know what i mean but when you think about like the physicality of blue cross blue shield being in the gang he comes and he's a chiropractor and a physical therapist to get him back out there get him back

out in the field can i ask he's doing god's work yeah are your brand deals with your cousins Because there's been a lot of promoting their Their stuff has been Very different companies And they're really platformed in a way here That almost no one has ever done with their cousin before And even Brit who was given a big opportunity To sort of plug her cousin

Kind of made it sound like a nightmare Yeah, it was serious Serious, you know, serious And Brit is so like sweet Like Brit is a very nice person And so, you know, Brit has to be protected all the time, but our cousin is having a serious cousin is good for you. It's good for me.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, you know, if he was here, he wouldn't let you ask her any questions. Oh, it's that kind of serious, right? It's that kind of serious. Okay. Can I ask a question to you, like, maybe pass along to him? Okay.

Why so serious? He won't answer that. okay it's too serious that's very it's too serious is he one of these guys who'd go
