this is a head gum podcast this is your first time at head gum you ever been here this is my first time at head gum oh really i i gotta say i didn't realize when i agreed to do this that you had switched networks and that okay you know that's so fun that i mean it's not funny i was about to say that's so funny it's um it's actually not funny at all okay let me know if it becomes funny again because i am looking to laugh today uh if it's funny i'm happy i was coming from i actually set an intention for this to reach out to you because we had switched networks, thinking that if we were on the same network, that would potentially be an issue. One thing I do want to raise that I also take very seriously is I prefer not to, and I'm looking this way, I'm looking in this direction at the table.

I prefer not to have us be somebody's first. Okay. When it comes to, when it comes to, well, it's a big responsibility and recording in this space. You want me to get my dick wet on some other head gum podcast? We would,

we would prefer the newcomers sort of pops your chair. Yes. We're not, that's not me. That's not my newcomers is for the newcomers yeah it's right there in the name yeah yeah but handbook is for the old salty dogs you know what i mean people who this is for like now we're looking into different stuff you know now okay i've done the like the baseline thing. What else is there?

We just can't really, we can't accommodate the sort of growing pains that come along with a first-time headgummer. Because it's, and we felt it right away, right? We didn't know where to sit. That was tough. We didn't know about, you know, the camera, how the camera setup was going to work. And this sort of setup in general of the way that podcasts are being filmed yeah now very like very thirsty this is it feels like very boycotted

too uh-huh and i've been saying this haven't i not in these words but I've been saying I don't know about this setup yeah because it doesn't give me room to do you know I never put my finger on what it was it's too boycoded yes and I can't

yeah you know and that doesn't work for the camera well then certainly not for the microphone yeah the camera doesn't work that's camera. Well, then certainly not for the microphone. Yeah. Yeah. The camera is at work, but the microphone. That's the first time Casey has actually said anything worked. Wow.

When you sort of cat-like. That's how I want to be, though. Like perch. It's true. It's true. I would like to, like, let me move this. Just like. Just like.

And you can't do it. I can't, but I want to sort of. You can't. See, now I'm comfortable talking to you. Now let's get into it. Yes. And this is actually very cat-like as well. Do you like doing podcasts, Joel?

Or are you sick of it? I don't think I could ever get sick of podcasts. We haven't seen you. We haven't seen you since Fire Island. We're not part of the press on that. Well, technically you did. My last appearance was after the movie hit. Yeah, it was right after and we talked all about it.

But what Hayes is saying, I think, is that he doesn't remember doing that. Right. And that that was unfortunately during the pandemic. Sort of. Well, it was over Zoom. Sort of, yeah. But it was over Zoom.

Oh, no. Oh, no. And if he had only been able to physically, his lungs never would have filled up with fluid and so i guess i'll take your word for it on whether or not it was covet at the time your yeah respiratory system seems to be so good well we're still we're still in covet you guys well in fact you know as you cough in a microphone that many people will use today, it sort of feels like, you're bringing COVID back. Yeah, so it's been a minute. It's been a summer.

It's been a year. Yeah. Well, don't leave anything out. Okay. What have you done? Well, I'm loving the strike. Okay. What have you done? Well, I'm loving the strike. Yes. Yes.

I'm loving hot strike summer. I'm not supposed to talk like this, but I almost don't want to go back to work. I know. We're not supposed to say it, but we don't really want to go back. I'm kind of liking my little vacation. I just have so much time to do my crafts now. When I was working, it was like doing crafts was like this burden on everyone else where it was like, don't do that. You know, you're at work.

You're not supposed to be like making a God's eye with yarn or something. But now that I am not working, no one can even see that I'm doing it and I do it all day. And if I want to go, if I want to, if I think like, I want to go to Lancaster, I can just go.

I can just get in the car and drive to Lancaster. Lancaster PA. I can just be, it's so funny that I could actually just go, if I want to go to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I could even just go there too.

Yeah. And just be like, do you guys know about each other yeah about the other one I was just in the other Lancaster yeah and then just sort of see what they say and I can introduce them your performer what do you think they'd say like can you kind of embody like so you be Lancaster PA Hayes you're you're the first Lancaster you mentioned. And let's just see like, so, and I'll be me. Do you guys know each other? They're kind of the same, I guess.

Cause they really do, like it is really what they do. When they encounter you, like they're totally nice nice but you have to get through the initial surprise like just when they encounter anybody there is that whole kind of like yeah yeah the shock can be very painful yeah and it's it's it's fight or flight all the horror of recognition you know when you see you know yourself out in the world and you know god that's what i'm like yeah yeah so yeah we're loving it as well yeah and this what we've been able to do creatively here is so different now that we've had this time just like uh just funneling all of our creative energy into this project.

Yes. Which it has always deserved, has always been sort of politely like behind the scenes like, hey, this is here for you to invest in when you need it. Well, it went from being, you know, my sixth or seventh priority to being my fifth or sixth priority. sixth or seventh priority to being my fifth or sixth priority and it and and it has shown you know i mean the results are right there in your ears listeners the fucking show is on fire it's gone atomic it's nuclear it's oppenheimer it's it's oppenheimer coded yeah it's very oppenheimer. It's Oppenheimer coded. Yeah. It's very Oppenheimer. Can you believe, this is just so crazy for me. Can you believe they did a movie for boys and for girls? No, at the same time.

At the same time. Same day. I do wish that McDonald's did Barbie Toys for Girls and Oppenheimer Toys for Boys. For boys. That's sick as hell. The Happy Meal comes with a little, you get a little. Here's Florence Pugh and her tits.

Yeah, okay. I'll just say that I closed my eyes and put my head on my wife's shoulder during those scenes. And I just said, tell me when it's over. And it didn't take anything away from the movie i wasn't i was no i was no more confused than i would have been yeah i um it's weird i need to see oppenheimer again because i fell asleep but i kept waking up only for the florence pew sex. I'm not even kidding. I would wake eyes open and there she'd be again. I had the identical experience that I only fell asleep once, but I did fall asleep and

I did wake up and Florence Pugh was nude on screen. And I said, I don't know who this is. I don't know how they know each other. And I don't need to because I don't care like I just want to be in the movie theater

but I don't and I'm saying that who cares about this I'm saying it so loud I'm saying who cares who gives a damn crap now I want to be clear here i didn't fall asleep in oppenheimer because i'm gay okay because my boyfriend really fucking enjoyed it so okay

don't go there but i did and let's make it very clear you fell asleep in oppenheimer and you're gay yeah it's not yeah these are not because true facts you know and I and I I only fell asleep because my wife was making me keep my eyes closed on her shoulder for so long being like I think the scene's coming up yeah you know and like it's I think it's happening now and so I just the whole time was going, okay, but what's happening? And then she'd start telling me, and then I'd go, who cares? Yeah. Oh, who cares? Then I woke up, saw that stuff, then had to close my eyes again.

And it was a tough car ride home. It was a tough, tough car ride. Oh, I find car rides easy because easy to fall asleep in is that what you're talking about i think i find that's the easiest place for me to fall asleep on the car right in the car right something about yeah something about driving moving something yeah something about moving that wheel around just hypnotizes me you have to be looking at and doing it is like it is you're just want to it shuts have to be looking at and doing it is like it is you're just want to it shuts me down yeah it's like so it's like there's a mirror here and

there's music and there's this mirror it's not my learning style no it's too many things at once and i just like okay no no no and i go i just gotta get some shut eye yeah i just gotta get some rest so i was trying to figure out also who are we talking about yeah who oh which what which guy yeah what like who is this oppenheimer i don't i don't know like and i don't care but like who like honestly first of all who fucking cares first of all but also who even are you excuse me can you please stop yeah tell me who this is that what are you doing well i went in because i was like this is a christopher nolan movie right is that is that so where's the where's the where's the Batman where's the where's the the top

where's the Joker where's the spinning top where's the spinning top where's the Joker where's Matthew McConaughey where is Bane traveling through space and time yes

what is this movie yes I don't know what the fuck it was and at the end do you mind spoilers anybody mind spoilers technically i've seen the film so no one knew silence shushing but mostly silence right i think maybe they it's tough when you've like been putting up this front of like not caring the whole time yeah that they're like oh this guy is like

like not a part of the boy who cried who cares yeah a little bit and now suddenly that you are kind of concerned about like where you are and stuff like that it's tougher to take that seriously because all they know about you is just being like mr whatever you know you call that a bomb yeah exactly like that kind of thing yeah yeah but i was the same thing i was like who fucking gives a shit and where where are they where are they who's that i do like in those movies though i actually still alive i did actually is that like i'm genuinely like is einstein still alive? I did actually is Einstein like I'm genuinely like is Einstein still alive? Because

I I'm watching him. Right. That was a big question for me as well. I did accidentally call Oppenheimer mom at one point.

I was I kind of went up there I was trying to tug on his jacket because I thought it was right and then like he looks down and i'm like oh oh my god it's like so embarrassing yeah number one but also like where is my mom yeah yeah and you were watching on imax 70 millimeter too so yeah it was imax and so i said i love you too a couple of times when I thought, I thought he was about

to say, I love you. And that got a little bit of attention, which by the way, just for people who were in there, I was just actually being polite. Yeah. Like I thought that was a really big thing for him to say and I didn't want to leave it out there. But then he also hadn't. I was anticipating him saying it too.

It's good to finally get a piece of this thing. Because like we didn't talk about it at all. Oh, thank God. I'm so glad that I did this to myself. By bringing it up. Yeah. And so like we just like forgot to like really get into it. But now there is still time, I think,

to take advantage of this cultural thing that's happening. Does this episode come out next or it's two away? Two away. Okay. So we might. Oh, Joel. Okay. I just really hope.

Maybe three. Okay. I just really hope that this is still as prominent. Kevin has this whole is very relevant right now but I just really want to make sure it stays. I mean even for hat purposes.

Uh-huh. So you get me. I could be dead in three weeks and this could be That would be huge for us. That would be amazing. You could be or you will be? I could be.

You don't know? I'm going to the desert. We could actually jack up the Patreon price. I'm going to the desert. There's no water. This one's paywalled. If you're dead, this is paywalled. It's a premium exclusive. And you do have to get in there. You're dead comedian. Joel Kimbuster, talk about Oppenheimer

a month too late. Kevin, Kevin. What am I tapping? I'm just kind of picturing a scenario where Joel is dead and he's not wearing a hat pack on the podcast. Yes. Yeah, we can screen grab.

Yes, Joel in this hat. See, finally someone actually knows what to do with a hat this is how this is me dead to have this be the final image yeah a lot of people a lot of people want to be on their back I want to be on my side sort of knees tucked in yeah I'm a side sleeper I want to have a little pillow between my knees i want to have a hugger yes right like a little love is angel sleeping on my stomach on your stomach knees still tucked in. Head to your side. That would be so cute.

Butt kind of up too high. That is adorable. My visitation would be so lit. Yeah, part of my requests for during the wake or whatever is that they roll me over every day just i know i get kind of stiff if i'm just on one side i don't want that to happen okay so you were going through your and your entire year you were you were you were telling us about different things yeah different things um we went through the strike. We love it.

Oppenheimer. Did you? Yeah, okay. We did the strike. That's right. We did Oppenheimer. What else has happened this year? That's sort of what we were hoping to hear from you. Yeah.

I feel like you're not out there as much as we need you to be in terms of sharing. You're sort of like our on-the-street reporter. You're supposed to be in terms of like you're sort of like our like yeah on the street reporter like you're supposed to be bringing in the news where we live in this studio right like this is the only place we exist okay i you know i feel like this is a lower energy episode for you guys and i'm gonna go nuts go crazy yeah i would i didn't get a lot of sleep but i could sort of kind of gear myself up you guys do the podcast for a little bit and i'm gonna kind of build up some power to go crazy yeah no i just feel like you know what your fans are gonna come after me yeah your fans are gonna be in and we will be directing them that way yeah just yeah just to

be clear like we still you know we still gotta live here you know what i mean you're just passing through i just feel like jake johnson comes in here and screams his little head off that was funny and i point and i say oh he doesn't get the concept he doesn't get the premise of this podcast well you're yawning so much leading up to the recording that it did take a lot out of me yeah and we can also jake yawned in the car before he came inside and that i think was the difference when you when you yawn we can maybe put in like a you know so it's like oh wow that's like very intense capture this sound for the on this chicken did Jake shot did Jake Johnson have an Emmy nom I want to say he has a nod, but somehow it was not considered an ad.

He must have done a round table. Maybe. If he didn't do a round table, I walk out. Yeah. Well, in that way, he has to try a little bit harder than I do. So you're trying because for me? No, no, no. I'm not trying.

Okay, good. Yeah. Not anymore. Never again. Wait, because you when i get a word legit i'm like i didn't even mean to do this i'm like who cares yeah you know yeah yeah it's like cool it's cool to like not be trying and stuff but he does have to try he has to try he has to try really hard it sucks to have to try but he has to try and you don't have to try yeah yeah i just want to double back to oppenheimer briefly okay i just want to know like he's was he married yeah and he was married to emilyunt, an actress. Uh-huh. Oh, wow. Who they always throw one in to those movies.

Okay. And she comes in and she says, you're all a bunch of boys. Yes. Playing with toys. Your little toys. You boys and your little toys. I'd rather be watching Barbie.

Don't put that in Oppenheimer. But it's feeding into the whole thing. It's an applause line in every theater. They all either just came from there, they're going back. Straight to camera, she says it. And then it's like a five minute break for everyone to clap and laugh.

And then she goes, now would be a good time to use the bathroom, folks. It's a long one. When I went to see barbie because i'm a boy and so when i went to see barbie i was i was like trying to like you know but because people were noticing obviously and they're like yes and i was also whispering that too to kind of like get them going a little bit just yeah oh my god there's a boy in the but they were confused because your hair is girl-coated right now. Your hair is girl-coated. My hair is a little girl-coated,

but the way I had it like set up was like guile. Oh, okay. Yes. And so like that day it was very boy-coated. Got it, got it, got it. Yeah. Got it. So, but.

Today you look like a cis woman i just have to counteract the boycoded setup of right right right of the studio mm-hmm uh i am gay haircut dude of the studio I am getting a haircut soon no come on leave it you look like a cis woman I won't okay good thanks you're right

my cis is a woman yeah anyways you were going to see Barbie everyone thought you were a boy oh my god yes and they're like is that some boy in the movie is he cool and i'm walking around with my hands kind of short i'm like i'm just trying it out you know i'm just like i'm just interested in trying i heard anybody could see this movie yeah right i was like wow okay it's pretty interesting yeah he's a hero yeah oh my god he's

so brave he's sitting in the movie and all the other boys was like hey is that like a weird movie we could watch too i'm like yeah sure why not you called them and went they're like we're going we're seeing oppenheimer come on come on that's the wrong theater that's the wrong theater hey pal you look a little lost come see oppenheimer all the bullies trying to make you see oppenheimer all the fucking big frat bros who are populating the oppenheimer screening or just like pulling all the boys out of barbie to make them see oppenheimer instead i was like hey man it's whatever i think movies for everybody and they were like oh damn that could be a pretty interesting movie for girls

i did do something in the screening that i think a lot of the boys appreciated where like after certain lines like especially the line got a big laugh i go that was noah oh that's noah that is so noah okay noah's voice, I'd recognize it anywhere. And it just gave just a little something to hold on to. Because it's like, of course I see the movie. Of course it's for everyone. And like, I love what they were trying to say. But at the same time.

Which I don't know if they knew what it was. No, but it's don't you're not it's art you're not supposed to know i have never at one point during this episode or any other had any idea what i'm trying to say yeah but in the movie just so people have so so that some of the especially the boys who were enjoying it so that as they leave they don't end up in some kind of crisis yeah just go okay uh that is so noah i just feel like the movie would have been way different if noah wasn't there to steer the ship you know i think yeah it would have been a much different movie because you have grown up probably still menstruating at points and at that point yeah who's steering the ship yeah i don't know how any of that works like i

don't i cannot comment on that but i but i will say that um oh you know how they like you know a oppenheimer i like to see the bomb barbie i like to see the bomb back eating better is easy with factors delicious ready to eat meals every fresh never frozen meal is chef crafted dietitian approved ready to dietitian-approved, ready to go in just two minutes.

Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science-backed language learning app that actually works. Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. 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. Babbel now has visual, in-person lessons.

Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages, handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks babbles designed by real people for real conversations and that includes body-based conversations what does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around at the door, and they take their little index finger, and they kind of draw it towards them. They're pulling it. What does that mean?

Does their finger hurt? I wonder if they spotted a spider web or something. They're trying to pull down the spider web. Yeah. But I've seen this too after a lot of dates, and I need and have needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a 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 police. 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 pushing it out. I'm like, am 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 or just do it out the window as I'm going. That's what I've been doing. Dangerous. Yeah. But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners. I'm sure. Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real life situations at which I have all the time and delivered with conversation based teaching. So you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world. Studies from Yale, Michigan State University, and others. Can't feel good to be others there. Continue to prove Babbel is better. One study found that using Babbel for 15 hours is equivalent

I know that I was about 19 dresses into receiving each one of the 27 dresses from the movie, 27 dresses, before I found out how much it was costing that they intended to send me. how much it was costing yes that they intended to send me by the way you'll this will shock you 54 dresses if i did not cancel and i you know oh that one's got an end point by like dress 14 15 i think it starts to become clear like these aren't the dresses oh no they were not from the movie they didn't resemble anything from the movie they were not they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear yeah and one of them was a dressing yeah one of them was it was it was a vinaigrette it was a raspberry vinaigrette it was a french raspberry vinaigrette dressing oh they'll even try to get you a refund for the last couple months of wasted money and negotiate to lower your bills for you by up to 20%.

What's the last thing? Add to cart. Yeah. Add to the cart. The last thing that I bought that I really loved was probably, I don't know, my house.

Well, well, well. I don't know that our listeners will be able to add your house to their cart the wind from the flex on them no I don't even like that that much I bought a I bought a new phone case

okay that's a house but I do really like it because it makes my phone look like an Android. So it's much less stealable. Very droid coded. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes, square that is.

And the thief sees that and goes. Well, and the green text. Applying the green text. Exactly. Yes, yes, yes. You're reminding people. The little green bubble. And they don't want that.

You know what's crazy is I've seen so many people. It's always the gay bars in WeHo are like rife with phone theft. And it's always young women that are doing it. I've seen them get caught with their purses because they are invisible. You know how they get. Yeah. You know. Yeah.

You know how they can be. You know how that can be? You know how that can be? Mm-hmm. How can it be? He was repeating what you said before. You know how they get. You know how they get. I mean, you do know how they get.

That time of the month when they go into WeHo and steal phones. Need phones, yes. That's so... It's biological. That's so interesting that you say it's young women doing that because what I've seen is basically Strega Nona going into those clubs. Oh, no, yeah. It's the old Baba Yaga type figures

who sort of shuffle through the club and steal everyone's phone. You're seeing this yourself? Yeah. Where? In the bar. I'll go away so it's the same thing as with the movies yeah you know yeah it's the same yeah he goes in he goes holy shit this guy's going in the fucking bar yeah like this and because they think of course that i am a cis woman and so yeah and so all the girls are like did you get his phone oh shit sorry wrong person

they think you're a part of the ring yes that's right the ring ring yeah yeah yeah the ring ring ring the bring ring bring bring how many hats have we sold talk about the hats bleep the number of course I'll bleep the number and I have an update we're at and our store was flagged as suspicious activity why was it flagged as suspicious activity

the amount of hats that we sold in a week it's us it was it was us they were we had to provide a lot more verification yeah wow what is um what are the proceeds going to oh um uh the entertainment um personal fund yes it's so it's like obviously people are on strike there's a very uh robust thriving community who has not been able to uh work and support themselves in the way that they they normally are because of the because of the vicious amp tp and and you of course have experienced this and um there are two particular members who have been hit the hardest. I see. Who we are supporting through the hat pack.

Who are they? They're, it's actually, yeah, you'd love them. They're great. Yeah, they're so funny. They're so funny. You might know, there's a separate foundation that we work with that has been working with them as well uh the the the boy and boy club yeah the boy and boy club of america um although anyone from any country can actually

donate as much as they want the boy and boy club the boy boy club yeah really cool work they're doing mm-hmm to help really great community and they yes so important uh I'm obsessed with the community I love thinking about the community and and just engaging with it I think um go ahead I think the thing about the strike is these people that are in need could be working if they wanted to. Okay. And you were saying this

before we started recording as well. And I didn't really get time to get into it because there was just so many yawns and we couldn't explore it. It's early. Do not get off my fucking back about these yawns wait wait it was it's not a negative thing it's just what happened okay you're in your coffin it's on your stomach and oh yes they have you sitting up a little bit and doing a little stretch

wow and everyone who comes up to the coffin is saying oh big stretch i do want to be buried in a long night shirt and a little sleeping cap because i do it's like don't put me in a fucking suit. I don't wear that now. I'm going to bed. I am sleeping. That's what's happening. I have to go to bed. Anyways.

Yeah, they should be working. Where did you get that phone case? I got it off of Brand on Instagram, but I think it's for girls. Okay. I'm sorry to be so gender-focused this episode, but I'm really...'s really struggling because i'm like our square phones for girls only uh-huh we've been ignoring this conversation you know uh and we've gotten our ass called out a couple times when are they gonna when are they

gonna really dig into square phones joseph the hollywood handbook boys are at it again not talking about square phones yeah we have our own tag on joseph.com it's not this again oh man i miss it the square phones are so girls can whip pull out their phone from their pocket with two fingers like gambit it's like more on me whip it into the wall right next to the to the boys so they can like so the boys can have their number i guess have their entire phone this is how you know let's try sexual revolution everything has changed a lot of things and so yes now instead of girls sharing their number they will share their entire phone with with the boys it's a very they're it's very it's very forward square tactics

square tactics square tactics anyway so that's where I'm at right now you guys okay that was a really good so that face that he made while he was doing that yawn will make a very good we can plug in a really good sound

so la la la will make a very good sound. We can plug in a really good sound. So, la la la! Do the full episodes go up online? Can I watch this back? Or just the little clips? Just the little clips to get them in? Yeah, the full episodes are online.

They're behind a paywall. Again, we're doing a lot of fundraising for the Boy and Boy Club. And so it's actually only available to subscribers because we really are trying to reach out, especially during this time. These boys, how old? Barely legal? Barely legal?

Some of what they've done is not legal at all including the website that they find so let me let me say this you you can be too young to have sex and you can be too old to have sex and so barely legal can mean two different things At what age are you too old to have sex? Yeah, well, I found out personally the hard way, or rather, the soft way. That's good. That makes such a good birthday card. Maxine saying it.

That would be an insane vaccine moment okay maxine snapped out of his birthday that is how i know i'm over the hill that that is not a deterrent for me you just fold it up yeah just folding the sword yes that's right yes you folded enough times it's hard yeah but you can like it's literally impossible to fold it more than a certain number of times it's like a not my experience okay okay yeah yeah i i don't know it's it's folded folded. What I'll say is, it's folded. Okay. It's been folded. It's been folded.

It's been folded. It's been folded. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. No, it's a true Ben Fold spot. We're all... We're all qualified to be here. that's what that moment just establishes if you don't

hear ben folded and get yeah get to ben folds five in some way yeah i mean you should have said story walk it pal like you should not be here i should have said ben folds five and a half okay yeah that's good that's still average buddy that's still oh yeah she's a brick and i'm that's the only part of that song i know that's a i mean if you're gonna know any part i mean that's like yes if you only knew some other part yeah that like the part where they say the title the part that they do multiple times. That's the part to learn to me. Kevin, how many hats? Oh, by the way, the post office does not like Hollywood Handbook.

They don't like the show? Yeah. Well, first of all, we've done so many ads being like, never go to the post office again. I think they knew. So I guess if I were them i would be like okay so me i guess but why specifically don't they like you and how do you know we've filled up all their bins and so other people can't uh ship stuff anymore so they're gonna send the man to my house today

to do what he said deliver he said receive the good they're saying they're tough as mailman they will be going postal on kevin it sounds like a cute meetup i'm excited so you say a cute meetup yeah okay is there a problem no there's not a problem at all there's not a problem at all. No, there's no problem. No, it's a cute meetup. No, it's way clearer. Yeah. It's way clearer than what I'm familiar with. Yeah, that's right. I finally know what it is, actually.

Like hearing it in that order, a cute meetup, I'm like, okay, yeah, all right. Should we also take this opportunity to talk about another brand relationship that we've had? Well, we should because I wouldn't mind Joel's help. We really need your help. Yes. You just know how to talk to these folks. Yes. Which folks?

Can we not say the brand and just describe the response? Can we describe what they generally do? sure the response can we can we describe what they generally do so obviously we we've said not to go to the post office ever again for a particular company that has stamps now we found a company that has shoes yes we are very excited for this partnership it's the first company we've ever had work with us i'm sorry i mean every company i met every company it's the first every company we've ever had work for us yes that has like a is cool and that like it feels like people were already using and thinking was cool and yeah that like i had used and even when i had used it i was like am i allowed to use this this is like cooler than i am so toms sure yeah sure so look we're not allowed to say

rothies but obviously everyone's thinking rothies and so they have shoes and other stuff and so our thing was like hey like you know how much it sucks to go to the cobbler like never go like you don't ever have to go to the cobbler again which we were like pretty pleased with pretty sick yeah pretty fucking cool and so we did get some notes and the note we received was uh for hollywood handbook's host read we're not seeing the connection to our brand with the cobbler storytelling so like what do you think is the move here i think we can double or triple down i think we can lead towards lean towards a story about how they've used brand name or anything they're eyeing on brand name or want to purchase on brand name but where's that

cobbler suggestion yeah well it's like almost like they want to get rid of it entirely yeah that's crazy yeah yes good okay because i felt crazy yeah because i first i was like oh they want more of it like to make the connection clearer but then it seemed like they wanted to lean away from it which no is should we explain the connection to them because they're not seeing it maybe they don't know what a cobbler is. It's shoes. A cobbler makes shoes. It's shoes. Maybe you go in an opposite direction, though. Maybe you, instead of going one step towards shoes with cobbler,

you go one step away from shoes with cobbler, and you start talking about the dessert. Well, yeah, I was wondering, do they think peach cobbler? When they hear us talking about the cobbler, is that why they're so confused? Yeah. But maybe we say it is peach cobbler. Yeah.

That that would. Never go to the peach cobbler ever again. I don't want to embarrass them if they think it is peach cobbler. You should just go along with it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we totally get you like, oh my God. Yeah, we shouldn't have been talking about peach cobbler.

You're right. Yes. How about from now on we talk about the shoe cobbler? Yeah. Starting today. And everybody kind of gets to. And then they can be embarrassed on their own time. Yes.

Yes. But it's with such kindness. We're letting them down so gently. And they go back to the office and they're like oh fuck yes they go home fuck what's wrong it seems like something's seems like you're really distracted tonight like you know i thought we were having a nice dinner but it seems like you really got something on your mind did you know did you know what cobbler meant know did you know what cobbler meant sorry i don't know i think i need more context like did you know what cobbler i mean it's like someone when someone says cobbler what do you think like someone that makes shoes yeah that's tough i never want to put like i want these good relationships i never want to put

and i want their relationships to be good too yeah i don't want that tension at home yes i want them to be better i want like our ad reads to help them like go home and like have a have a better relationship our ads save marriages yes it's something that we've been saying for a long time is that it's always supposed to bond couples and protect that unit you know and i just uh i feel ashamed yeah because they think we messed up, you know? And I'd like to offer an apology to the brand and to the individuals who were affected. And I would say that moving forward, we will be saying shoe cobbler multiple times.

My phone house has the round part on the side and on the other side. And so that's for boys, you say. Round for boys. How about this? Otter box. Otter box. Otter box. For boys.

And so when I drop it, it doesn't pierce the ground, stay standing up, cracks start rippling out from the side it's it's more so it's less about like the shape is coral like there it's about what boys want to touch round round phone reminds you of a woman's body yes a square phone reminds you of a man's body i hate touching something too sharp big square sharp angles very masculine but this you're you're holding that phone like florence pew tell me about that soft naked body round right yeah that's what i think when i saw oh so when i saw florence pew nude in oppenheimer, I thought Otterbox, Otterbox body.

It's true. Soft and protected. It's true. And I absentmindedly started cupping and fondling my phone in my pocket. And I didn't even make the connection until now why it was happening. Cause the light kept going on and people were like, please turn off the phone light. You know? But during that part like yeah i wasn't

saying who cares or anything and so i could feel like relief from that so i think people were mostly like okay i guess yeah this is better because i'd rather have to turn the light on really distracted by whatever is happening with the phone light going on and off. I think my pocket's too sheer. Do you guys think my opinions on gender are going to get you in trouble? Oh, God. And so he just said, as you just heard, they are his opinions on gender. And everyone did hear that. And that'll be the only clip that we release.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait, I want to go back to what I was saying before. Actually, I want my pockets to be on sheer. Like, you see how this is making a maid just do it? Yeah. I wouldn't mind getting into sheer's pockets. Yes. Palscher?

Yes. Yes. Yes. See? mind getting into sheer's pockets yes paul sure yes yes yes see do you see we have ben stoller on here yeah you see ben was on so speaking of a podcast i'd like to be on joel well no he said speaking of so like that's like it's speaking of this podcast he'd like to be on here's another podcast he'd like to be podcast. He liked me on. Here's another podcast. He liked. Yeah. While we're on the topic of podcasts, I'd like to be on this one first. You see, we have Ben Stiller on. Ben Stiller.

And that is the guy who gave away all his money on a game show. My. Well, no. The whole idea is that. He's not giving it away. You have to fucking win it. It's have to get his money you know what never mind kevin said he was at a restaurant and so kevin on that episode said thanks doggy to ben stiller and he said he was at a restaurant and the and the waiter said the server said thanks doggy oh yeah and he texted that to me and sean i don't think either of us responded and the waiter said, the server said, thanks, doggy. Oh, yeah.

And he texted that to me and Sean. I don't think either of us responded. Kind of like on my birthday. Thanks, by the way. It was on your birthday. So it was your birthday. No, my birthday was two days ago. Oh, Kevin. A lot of work texts.

Not a lot of, by the way. How old did you turn? A young 31. Kevin's raper name. Looks older, right? I was going to say younger, and I would have thought because of his job,

he would be younger. Kevin's 31 savage. It is a job for babies. a job for babies i agree with that okay so your contention yeah is that the server saying thanks doggie was a reference to your famous line i said to leah he knows and so you no other follow-up about that. I am sort of on Kevin's side here because I've never heard someone say, thanks, doggy, in a non-sexual context before in my entire life. Was it not even when the doggy fetched their slippers? Not even then, my friend.

Maybe it was like doggy bag related. Maybe he's taking the check, holding the doggy bag. Thanks, doggy. Thanks, doggy. Thanks, doggy. Yeah, two separate exchanges. Period, not comma, yeah. Thanks, doggy. I have to ask him.

What restaurant was it, if you don't mind me asking? It was a beautiful yard house. Oh. Okay, that restaurant is not called a beautiful yardhouse. It's just called yardhouse. Yardhouse is... That makes sense, though. It makes sense that he would say that there.

It's a fetish restaurant. They're all wearing the dog masks over there. Yeah. I mean, that's what a doghouse is. Yeah. I mean, and also a doghouse... A dog doesn't mean that's what a dog house is yeah i mean and also a dog out the dog doesn't call a dog house a dog house that's that's that's a yard house yeah i i do i know like whatever we have these personas or whatever that we try to keep up

but i i do have to say i owe kevin an apology and kevin i'm sorry that you feel like i missed your birthday if it feels to you like i ignored your birthday then i'm sorry you feel that way i'm sorry yes i'm really sorry that you think that happened i'm sorry for whatever made you feel that way because you know you shouldn't have to feel like that what'd you do yard house i got drinks with the bye that was a hate gum podcast
