this is a head gum podcast so he's they're talking and he's like i'm gonna enjoy watching you die mr anderson uh and you like turn around and like it's louis Anderson. Yeah. And he goes, survey says you first. Kills him, shoots him in the head.

And so he's fucking bullet. What's the, with like the, yeah. Yeah. The bullet the yeah. Yeah. The bullet gun bullet firing. Yes. And then he like falls down the first guy and see yeah.

Louis Anderson sees the entry wound the little red circle and he goes. Circle gets the square. Okay. and he goes, circle gets the square. Okay. Because I guess it's shaped like a circle and the guy is kind of like, not like a classic square. Yeah, I don't know what the square is that he got.

It's Agent Smith. Agent Smith is a square. Yeah. That's the idea. I agree with that. Certainly compared to other guys in that movie, he's kind of a square yeah that is that's the idea i agree with that certainly compared to like other guys and that no he's not he's not hip at all like he's very much a part of the establishment i think it's very call to call yeah so that's as far as i've gotten uh i keep as soon as i get to this that

point every time when i'm working on this i have have like... So many emails? Not even like a... No, like a little stroke. Not even like a mini stroke. Like a tiny, tiny, tiny stroke. But that's how you know you're doing something really impactful. I mean, to me, that's a sign to keep going. I am really worried. I was really excited about this. Yeah.

It's for... You know, they do the in-memoriam. It's always just... It's never funny. Or it's sometimes you know they do the in memoriam it's always just it's it's never funny or it's sometimes a little bit funny but like there's no there's no bit like this shift can be funny yeah exactly but like it's always just like a photo of the guy or whatever there's you never have them like actually doing a bit and so we were like what if for each segment we put them in a classic movie yeah um and like insert them digitally give them lines and stuff like that um and so we have betty white yeah yeah yeah betty white right Betty White goes she's

Morpheus and she goes they're all Matrix that it is turning out that way yeah maybe she goes do you want to take the red or the white pill no she goes take the it is that segment yeah she says take

the red pull oh like oh this is the yellow pill she has a big pill case because she's like so old oh right that's funny that's yeah but then she goes like take the red pill and you can see how deep the rabbit hole goes if you catch my meaning

I mean I don't know I have a much bigger stroke when I when I'm working on that one so I've got that one I'm feeling something I'm a little bigger stroke when I'm working on that one. So I've got to turn away from it. That one, I'm feeling something. I'm a little bit lightheaded. Oh, really?

Wow. Yeah. So incredible stuff. I mean, I almost don't want to fully move on. I wouldn't mind bringing our guests. We could stay in it for a little while. Yeah, I think it's going to be a rich area. We have really amazing guests today.

We have, of course, Carl Tartman with Flagrant Ones. That's what he's best known for is the basketball podcast that he does with two rather handsome devils. And it's us. We have the inimitable, the author, the writer, the producer, the sometime performer, Mr. Julius Sharp, Goldie, the man himself. We got him. I feel like did Keeps twist your arm to have me on? Did they say you've got to have a fucking bald guy on? It's time, guys. Yeah, no, they said, look, if you want to keep the Do-Re-Mi rolling in,

let's face it, keep... We're actually a Nutrafol podcast now. We are actually part of the Nutrafol family. And so, yes, they did say get a bald guy on so people can be like... And then we have to have you back one year from now and you do have to have hair as a result of neutrophil yeah yeah i mean i'm gonna take whatever you guys give to me i'm just gonna take it without even looking at it it's we use the what they give us so i think the normal neutrophil comes in like pill form but we get it like like a compound from like a compound pharmacy.

You know what I mean? Like mortar pestle style. Like it's all, they mix it up in the back. Like, yeah, they, they hand it to you and it's like,

it just feels like it's been handled very recently by a person. And so it's fresh. It's fresh meds. It is. Yeah. And it's, you open it up and the dust kind of like, like puffs out a little bit.

And you're like, did I just take some, it feels like the kind of thing where it's like the pharmacist goes, Oh good. This is more like cooking than baking in terms of, they don't have to measure. They just kind of pinch and feel around and see like what, you know,

what they think would be a good combination around and see like what you know what they think would be a good combination so um you know sometimes it's great sometimes i get pretty sick yeah i mean the thing about medication is it's kind of a myth that you need to dose it and take a certain amount of certain time what you need is just the right amount over the right amount of time so you can take as much as you want as long as you take less the next time they're guessing and they're obviously extreme caution so right yeah because you go 50 milligrams you go well what if i take 51 is it what's the difference a little little experiment for people at home it says take two Advil take three I drank six Alka-Seltzer the other day

yeah great example and what happened didn't help but it didn't hurt the dosage on the bottle is for the average man and woman

the average man and woman doesn't exist no there's no there is no normal yes you ever see the movie angus this feels like a lot to give betty white in that in memoriam segment but if you know wow okay with the pills we've got the pills out she's because we have her we have betty white It's a last opportunity. It feels like for an in-memoriam, people are going to want to see something new. Okay, okay.

It's like we know what they did, right? That's why we're honoring them. But it's like now that they're dead, what is our relationship with them? Let's go something completely different direction. And so what would that look like? Right, which is you know louis anderson is is now an action hero right yeah that's cool has these opinions on drugs okay because i was immediately thinking okay well we should i mean we should put gilbert godfrey in

the sort of joey pants role um he's like eating the steak talking about how he knows it's fake but and then maybe he's you know gonna do some gross out joke but what you're saying now goldie is i go there's no reason that he can't be one of the big uh electric squids that attacks the ship right right yeah i mean you you you have this is something i deal with in in I do is you book a piece of talent. And and how can we just, you know, blow it out and make people reevaluate everything they know about the talent? And that's let's maximize the opportunity and like and take a fucking risk, which, by the way, this town has been afraid to do late. Right. Gilbert doesn't want to be

funny. He's sick of that. That's why that's one of the reasons he died. He was tired of it. He'd had enough, so he stopped. So it's like, to then have him, have him back, and now we're doing something that's like, you know, let's see him really

use his other sides of his personality. By the way, Robert Durst as Trinity? Do we like this idea? Now, what film are y'all talking about? Oh, sorry. So you're familiar with 20th Century Fox. I know that. this is a different studio

it's a different studio entirely this is a different studio called warner brothers okay and and they made a film called the matrix was released in 1999 before my time yeah and so that's what i mean like taking you back to do we have to keep this in mind i mean carl reset y2k so i don't know huh carl reset at y2k and i mean i reset y2k yeah yeah so like i don't know if we need to we can segue out i mean like i can i'm coming to grips with the fact that the oscars already happened anyway like i haven't really been letting myself acknowledge that yeah yeah but i'm just saying like the other thing is if carl doesn't know the movie and this is the whole thing is that we kind of have been hired to try to help the Academy court this audience,

these young new movie lovers. Carl, what's a movie you would want to see dead celebrities animated into doing sort of like little jokes, possibly nods to their career, which Hayes is working on, or possibly something totally unfamiliar and kind of against their personal brand? Is there a movie that you connect to that's more current, more young? Let me think. Let me think. Valentine's Day.

Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. All right. You know what? You know what? Moorpark is spelled backwards. Crap Room.

Is that from the movie Valentineentine's day yeah okay yeah shit i mean orrin hatch could say that what's the context of that scene just like who are the characters in it like what's okay what's everything this gonna blow you this gonna knock your socks off y'all ready for this this is good this is gonna knock your socks off it was an old man driving with his grandson and he tells his grandson this joke it's like an inappropriate joke to tell a child well how about he tells it and the grandson could be norm mcdonald okay yeah uh-huh that could be nice and he could go this is and and hayes i noticed here we are we're cooking we're getting this stuff yeah and you're are you having a stroke are you feeling when coming on no that's that's interesting i wonder why uh what like what it is about

this like doing it in like the writer's room space like maybe that's what it is maybe it's time for me to just get back to tv community tv saved my life so many times what's one more time you know what i mean yeah i was raised by freebie it's a really good time to be in tv too yeah no it's on the upswing i mean all you know all the tv companies are doing good yeah so what they want to do is they're doing so well they want to do less of everything because it's like, you know, when you're you know how like when you're at a party and you've said a lot of funny things, your instinct isn't let me stay and say more fun. You go, I'm winning. I'm leaving. And then everyone's going to talk about me while I'm gone.

Yeah. And I think that's what don't spoil it. That's what's going on in a larger sense with all the media companies yeah they're going like we have everyone laughing we have everyone clapping let's get the fuck out of here except for you know like netflix sucks for netflix netflix took a freaking nosedive okay big shotadenfreude is being felt throughout Tinseltown I mean you know let's face it there was perhaps

a might bit of hubris involved and I just like you know obviously I work for Netflix I love Netflix the market share issue of course is only going to affect them. That like new streaming platforms get like added all the time. But like, it's just only Netflix is the one that is going to be.

It was really thrilling for all of the other companies to hear that to date, the biggest, most successful company lost like 200 billion dollars in a day. They said, oh, this is good for us, which tracks for me that it's not that the model itself might be ultimately unsustainable. It's just that this one place had screwed up. I felt bad for them. And I actually because, you know, one of the things was they said too many people are sharing passwords.

So I called my mom and I told her, get your own fucking account. Like, see what we're doing to this company, mom. I can't just in good conscience continue to give you my password when they're canceling megan

markle's cartoon it's these people these are people with jobs these are prince harry and megan markle's are trying their they moved here to do tv they left a good situation to give us like these great cartoons that they have ideas for. They had it made. Imagine if when they were, you know, closing the Detroit auto plants and, you know, thousands upon thousands of Americans were heading to the unemployment lines. It was as simple as literally just calling your mom

and being like, free rides over, motherfucker. Yeah, get your own car. i'm not driving you to your appointments because look at these people they're suffering and your mom's just like her bandwidth absorption when she watches net i mean she she just she watches netflix so hard she watches it too hard she watches it too hard i can tell when too hard. I can tell when she... When I'm trying to watch it, it starts to lag. My screen resolution diminishes. Yeah, I suddenly am watching it.

Because of her rig. It's that rig she set up. It's way more pixelated because she's sucking up so much of the power from the Netflix mainframe. And when she does that, when it does pixelate like that, things that I think aren't cakes it does pixelate like that, things that I think aren't cakes can start to look like cakes.

Yeah. And as I'm trying to stay ahead of the show and guess, I'm then guessing wrong. You know, my wife hears it, I look stupid. I'm at such an enormous disadvantage to begin with because I don't know, you know, from my life, you know, I have a pretty small inner circle because i don't know you know from my life you know i have a pretty

small inner circle i don't necessarily expose myself to what cakes or a lot of common household items look like traditionally so right there it's like i'm playing from from behind and then when i don't have the 4k resolution when i'm watching it in traditional hd yeah yeah i might as well uh jump off the fucking empire state building and explode on the sidewalk if that's what i'm gonna do you know i mean that's basically what I'm working with. So it definitely unfairly favors people who know more objects. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, my God. When you're seeing when you're shot, you're seeing a toaster and cake or non cake for him for the first time.

Mm hmm. It's like, OK, well, yeah, all these little nuances that I'm just not going to be able to appreciate, even when they cut it open. I go like, OK, is it supposed to do that? Well, this is why critical race theory is important. This is why critical race theory is important. This is basically this standardized testing is the same. Like this is the standardized testing of cake identification. Yes.

Not everybody has seen the same things. This is the first time I've understood any of this. Yeah. Yeah. It's completely biased towards this one dominant group of people who have all these objects in their house. It's like, that's not my lived experience. So I'm worthless. I don't get a TV show.

Right. Or I'm a stupid. I'm an asshole. Right. I fucking suck. so I'm worthless I don't get a TV show or I'm a stupid I'm an asshole right I fucking suck I'm a stupid asshole cause I thought cause I'm three episodes in when they cut it open and ate it

I just thought I didn't know what cakes looked like like they start bringing stuff out and I go I've only seen cakes look like cakes so I'm waiting for a cake to look like a cake and it never does

I knew toaster was a food thing so how am I when they cut it up and start eating it how am I supposed to go like okay this is a total red flag this is a cake it's like well you said it was for food like you you said that and the glee the glee then they have oh my god

oh you you look at him look at him he didn't know yeah yeah yeah the smirk on mike day's face. Michael Day. Michael Day. Michael Day. Good night, Michael Day. Michael Day, damn. That's a great segue into the other thing. I mean, we're talking about the business. We're talking about the model. Mike, he's not cake, right? Well, if that's the season finale,

you know, the good on them. Right. And like the whole world's a cake. And save me a slice. By the way, if he's a cake, save me a slice. I'll bring my own fork, you know, if I can figure out what it looks like among just this drawer just nonsense to me

just these random like i don't know if i'm looking at the right drawer do i write with this what do i do when you go to bed after you watch it like sometimes i don't know what is cake and what isn't you know so i'm pulling on a blanket and I'm I'm putting in my mouth not not cake. Right. And then I go to turn off a light handful of frosting. So it's like, what the fuck? What's going on? I don't see like it's like I guess it's like whatever. It's like a fun, whimsical idea for a show, but it's hurting people. Yeah.

I mean, this is the type, this is the reason why their stock is crashing. Like, no one knows what's happening. Yeah. It's an assault. It's an assault on typical Americans who aren't, like, object-obsessed, materialistic. Sorry, I'm not from a big city, so I don't, I didn't know that wasn't cake. Because, you know, my dad, like, had worked. Yeah.

But fuck me, right? I'm a fucking rube. No, that's good. No, you got me. You got me. It's the definition of punching down. But we are talking about the industry. Hayes, you were segwaying into something i mean i goldie you were mentioning earlier you're talking about like everything you

do in the business which is family guy you like you you write for family guy like that's that's that's what you do sure we we have carl here as the world's number one family guy expert yep uh the doctor of this of knowing this show we have been talking for a long time it's time to like advance this show to the next phase like it's been spun off in a number of like pretty unsuccessful ways uh we have been talking to various people at the network about like how to take this forward in in an important way. And what we have from our conversations with them, what we've kind of settled on is family girl. Wow.

Let that sink in. Wow. Pretty revolutionary. Carl, you're a fan of the show. I mean, does that get you pumped? Honestly, as the doctor of the show, all I have to say is, scapel. And that means you're going to cut it? I'm going to cut it open and see if it's cake. And I'm going to eat it. With a big old glass of whole milk. Wow. I wasn't aware you were a surgeon. I thought you had a phd

peter haha's degree because peter griffin oh yeah i know no of course you do you got the phd i got the phd so we talked to the network they they don't want to lean into the gender stuff like too hard no no they want they They love the title, Family Girl. Yes. Or Family Gal. We've gone back and forth. Family Gal could work. Family Gal.

Oh, yeah, we're talking about Family Girl. They're a little too folksy. They like the idea of saying gal use, old-fashioned gal use instead of values in the theme. Because gal use is, are you saying that's a new concept, but they're still old-fashioned ones? Where is good old fashion?

It's just changing values to gal. I'm not saying anything except instead of values. That's still on the table. We can define that later, but we have the word gal use, and it seems a shame to just leave it. Gal use are girl values But we have the word gal-use, and it seems a shame to just leave it. Yeah.

And gal-use are girl values, then. They're not as distinct from value. Again, I can't necessarily answer every single question. That's part of the value, right? Because what we have is the word gal-use, and I hesitate to define it before we have even like... It feels like more of a hashtag than a word, but I... Sure.

I mean, it like maybe where those hashtag values rather than old-fashioned values. Okay. Good old hashtag values. Okay. A lot of the biggest hashtags in history are comprised of words. Sure. So something to keep in mind,

you know, let's not limit it. But the hashtag values, I, I love that. That's, I mean, I'm still tweeting with your wedding hashtag.

Clem Chowder. Yeah. Really? I mean, her last name's Chowder. Yeah. I mean mean it's right there it felt like if we didn't do it you know I mean here I am

marrying Miss Chowder I mean that's like a Leno joke you know he's like yeah look at this Sean Clements is marrying Grace Chowder you're gonna have the Clem Chowder. You're going to have the Clem Chowder wedding. It's true.

It's exactly like a Lena. It's just like a textbook Lena. It's a perfect joke. Yeah. It's a perfect joke. If it's good enough for Jay, yeah, it's going to be good enough for me and my wedding. Hollywood Handbook. Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel,

you're talking about or do we not know that yet peter's role in this i think is i'd love to have him kiss us in and sort of have his blessing at least in the pilot where he can he can make it kind of an easy handoff so peter would ideally be giving the baton to Family Gal. Right. Is this a backdoor pilot, a frontdoor pilot, a side door pilot? We going down the chimney with this? How are we doing? This is a storm

drain pilot. Up the septic tank? We're tunneling our way in through the sewer system, yes. Okay. I think that's smart yeah uh you know that's and that's where a lot of the humor lives right i mean you know just to say we're not afraid of toilet humor although i don't know if that embodies galus or or as a you know as a body by toilet humor so i i hate to define that and by the way i think that gal use could be absolutely disgusting uh poop and pee jokes

like there's no reason that we can absolutely yes and i don't want to fixate on the gal use thing just because that's one of the only things that we have like i like i don't think we need to even like discuss that any further honestly it was just like if she's a sprinter i just you know it she's a sprinter because so when one of the conversations around this we were talking about her being a zoomer and I think Gabay sort of thought that meant that she like zooms around really fast Gabay is of course not at Fox anymore but like

that he's at Warner Brothers really yeah but like that has kind of stuck with the project I almost forgot that like that was the origin of it that he started kind of zooming around the room like getting excited about the idea he's got the zoomies like a was the origin of it. He started kind of zooming around the room, like getting excited about the idea.

Zoomies like a zoomer. And then it was like, you know, Sean, you had just mentioned somebody's brother. What was that? I'm so sorry, Carl.

So the same studio that made the matrix films, which we've moved away from, they better choice. They also, they continue to produce content to this day. And

they have this whole lot where they do it in the Valley and it's called Warner Brothers. And that's where Gabay works now under Berlanti's shingle. And so, you know, which, by the way, they're not doing too shabby.

I don't think it's a bad idea to keep this Zoomer idea that you had to make her a sprinter. You know, you could do a lot worse. And so, I mean, it's just like kind of the memory of that special moment in the, you know, when like you, you pitch something so effective that the executives all are like shipping around. Susanna Makos gets up and starts chasing Gabay. I mean, she's also not still there either. No, she's, and she's, and she's working at Warner Brothers as well. Yeah. And she's working at Warner Brothers as well. Yes. So, but yeah, she was like, I'm family girl, you know, and she's sprinting and she's zooming and like everyone got so into it that it's like when you get a group of people that excited, we're a little jaded from hearing a lot of ideas. You go, OK, we're on to something and that's going to translate.

So she runs everywhere. The sprinting is a really good entree to our bread and butter, these poop and pee jokes. Because, you know, these runners, they poop and pee themselves all the time. Entree and bread and butter. Yeah. And poop and pee. I mean, it's just like three different parts of the meal you like in terms of food yeah yeah i'm trying to stay thematically into something is this something is this something

i don't know what like restaurant family gal goes to but this got me thinking she orders the entree the giant a meal so big that if you finish it it's free right wwe eats wwe okay yeah yes um did bobs ever bobs never did that Okay. Yeah. Yes. Did Bob's ever, Bob's never did that? Entree the Giant? Yeah. I'd have to check.

I'm due for a rewatch anyway. Okay. It doesn't have to be a burger. It could be chicken. I don't think they do chicken on that show, do they? Okay. No, but yeah. Yeah. So if it was the same wording, even think they do chicken on that show do they okay no yeah yeah so if it was the same wording even if they've done that plan words but it was a burger and we're making

it chicken i really think they'd have we could kind of incorporate both bob's burgers family girls chicken so you're saying she would run a restaurant? Yeah, she could. She could really run a restaurant with how fast she's zooming around. When she runs a restaurant, she runs the restaurant. I mean,

I thought I ordered fast food. I didn't know you were going to be running so fast. Oh my God. That's that. If Conor Welch was here, he'd be standing up running around. Yes. I mean, he's not a fox anymore, but he was there. Yeah.

You know, in our deck. He just stole it at Sony. In our deck, we could, when we said that sentence, we could click over to a photo of Usain Bolt. Wow. Right. I mean, it's just like running in there yeah right just to bring it to life that energy that that's i mean that's going to permeate the show the show is a sprint

to humor it's a comedy sprint it's a comedy you know it's not it's not slow that's that's part of what i love about what you guys do and what I do think we want to maintain is you do jokes. You tell jokes. It's not these long scenes with like Well, too often in life you take the time to enjoy things when in reality you should just be sprinting through them. Yes.

It's not worth it most of the time. Just sprint through it. Get to what's next. What's next? What's next? What's hot? Right? What's the... Give me more TikTok. Show me more, more, more. That's what Family Guy is always asking. The franchise is always asking the question,

what is hot? When I wrote a parody of Iron Chef in 2014, we were so ahead of the curve. I was scared at the time when I was working on this show. Is anyone going to get this?

Well, you see what happened. Yeah, they get it now. Every time they turn on Iron Chef, they go, family guy taught me about this show. Thanks, Dave. Well, too bad that show's long gone. Was there a gong on the show? You better hope so.

I think there was. All right. I'm just saying, you better hope there was. I mean, if not, I'll just pack my things. Carl, what do you want to see as a fan of the franchise? Scapple. You want to see what? No, I'm just saying, as the doctor, I have to say that.

Oh, you're saying, okay. What do you want to see about the show? What do you want to see her doing? What traditions do you want to see continue? What do you want to see held over from the old series? What do you want to see replaced? What's Stewie's role? So we don't

like with Stewie, Stewie's here. He's an adult now. Okay. Wow. And he's working. What I want to continue is the brewery. Okay. We can change the name of the brewery. Okay. We can change the name

of the brewery. Let's change the name. WWE's. Oh, that's the restaurant too. That's the brewery. We got tables in there. I've seen them sit at a table in there. Okay, so WWE's.

Stewie works here in the call center. I don't think they have ever sat at a table no not in there there may be a desk yeah i think yeah there's a desk that's a table everybody sit around a desk yeah yes stewie works at stewie works at the call center selling okay selling beer selling individual beers yes like, like The Office. Okay. Yeah. And we don't know if he's gay. Still.

Wow. Yeah. We're still working that, huh? I thought we kind of got away from that. He might know. He might know at this point. Okay. We don't know.

Okay. We just don't. So the family girl't so the family girl are they is the family girl related to stewie are they a family absolutely not absolutely not wow okay i don't think that should we've done that yeah we've seen that we've seen family we've seen related to people yeah and family girl i don't want to see i don't want to see nobody related everybody's free okay right okay they're building the family well they're building the family did stewie successfully kill lois in this imagined future now that that that i think we need to put a poll up on twitter or something like that to see if it may be live during one of the episodes we have like a two-part episode

yeah let people kind of call it and vote american idol style yes yes call it a vote american idol style and then at the end of that we still don't know if stewie is gay or not we can multiverse the whole thing where she's dead and alive he's gay and not gay people love the multiverse i mean that is like that's getting people back out to the theater like that stuff is right that's red hot right now um that's a powerful idea uh let's play in that a little more so if we're doing the multiverse is there any reason not to have some portion of the show just be the old traditional family guy that we all like with the same main characters and set and just kind of stead it for you know for at least part of it or maybe even half the episodes so you're just taking regular episodes then and say, like, remixing them

into the new framework of the Family Gal multiverse. Yeah, maybe to Family Gal's point of view, you know, every once in a while you hear her go, and she sort of nods as she's witnessing this episode that we all kind of have already agreed is pretty funny.

Right. Well, I mean, the thing that that does is it gets the fan base in there. It's an entree for them because they, you know, they might they could look at this project and just say it feels derivative. It feels like you're trying to take advantage of the air and

you know, not give me, you know, under the auspices of selling me what I formerly liked, give me something new, but youices of selling me what I formerly liked give me something new but you're actually giving me what I formerly liked they love just eating shit

they love just waddling up to the trough and just like slurping up their shit that is something to keep in mind obviously is yeah that our target audience the consumer you know is going to keep in mind obviously is yeah that our our target audience the consumer you know is is going to eat what we feed them and they'll damn well like it uh right you know they'll they'll schlorp on absolute slop until their belly aches and do you think

because because what is this the type of person who would say want to strap on a metaverse headset become the family gal and all of a sudden you go from your couch we did that we did that okay i'm so sorry we actually did that about a year and a half ago yeah Yeah. No, I'm sorry. All right. No, no, don't be sorry. Most people missed it. It was,

you know, um, I think it was a little ahead of its time. Honestly. Uh, God, now I feel like I should send you some cupcakes and that, that's to say,

sorry, Goldie on them, you know, like a note for me, just some sprinkles. I don't know. There's four of you guys. Maybe I'll send 24 cupcakes to your office on a day when half of you will be there.

I kind of prefer the delicious cookies. Those really, really soft cookies. Oh, my God. They're so good. Your agent sends you on your birthday. The first day, they're so good. They're fine. The first day they're so good. They're fine. The first day.

God help you if you try to have one the next day. It's just I feel bad and I feel bad about the gong thing too so I feel like I should send I don't know. Kevin, did we get a result on that?

No, I'm trying to put in the lunch orders does everyone want corn again or do we want to do family style today as long as it's not mendo mendo is out i've told them your notes carl fuck no fuck mendo we can't go to mendo man mendo mondays i used to look forward to, but now it's like I had to get creative with the menu. At the time that I'm designing a whole new dish with their ingredients, it's like, let's just go somewhere else. I would say Jones on Third, but I feel like something is different with the corn there.

They're just doing something weird with the corn now. Well, and I need to be there to see what they have at the little cold bar. Where are we going to go? I'm just going to eat a handful of almonds. Almonds. Whole foods.

Trader Joe's. Homemade. Kevin, stop pitching Homemade. We're never going to do Homemade with you. I got Homemade popcorn. We can watch a movie after work, you guys. I want to see our lady take a chicken wing out of the vat with her hand at Whole Foods in the hot bar. Instead of the tongs? Instead of the tongs?

Instead of the tongs. That's okay. I'll try this. That's okay. He's not putting it back in after. No, she kept it. She wrapped the bone up in a paper towel and threw it away. It's already.

So you're eating a hand? The thing is already basically a hand that you're eating. It is the chicken's hand. You know? That's not weird, but she reaches in and touches it. That's crazy now? No, she scooped out the tortilla soup with her hand and no glove.

I'd say that's a little unusual to me. That, you should use the ladle and it's hard to take a sip that's fine it's hard to do the pizza with the tongs and sometimes the pizza doesn't come off of the slice next to it and yes you have to reach down touch the other slice somehow you to keep them separated. Right. And so you do have to touch the one on that side and on the other side, because the one that you want is in the middle. And you're doing that person a favor. You're protecting their cheese.

Yes. Heck, you want me to just go ahead and yank it? Just touch it my side? You ain't going to like what's left for you. It's same price. You don't get a discount. They do have the best pizza at Whole Foods, though, in town. Like, that's the most authentic New York pizza you're going to find.

Oh, knock me over with a feather. The first bite every time I forget. I think it's something with the water at Whole Foods. Yeah, I think they, yeah, I water at Whole Foods. Yeah, I think they I guess they import I don't know if the water is supposed to be hard or soft. Makes me hard. You know what I mean?

What's up with that pizza? One time we went to Whole Foods with Sean. He ate a bite of the pizza and looked at me and said, your boy's on rock. I very theatrically

took out a large bottle of Viagra, rattled it around, threw it over my shoulder and in the trash can behind me. There was a big trash can just in the middle of Whole Foods. When I take Carl to Whole Foods, I say, do you mind if we eat next to the trash can? I got an idea.

All right. I got almonds. You got to go back, by the way. Sorry. You got to go back. That's all right. When are we doing that? Let's put that in the books now Can we get that on? Are you free? What's your schedule right now? Are you free for a

Whole Foods Late lunch like 4.35? Whole Foods you now need a reservation Yeah It's gonna be hard to get a reservation for five. That's like a month out. Yeah, no.

I was thinking more like tomorrow or the next day. But if you don't mind eating at the bar. I mean, we could go to the downtown one. I think they're usually you know especially after two yeah they're not as slammed there's just no parking so i don't mind going but there's

no parking i mean do you want a carpool or do you want to like well i don't share a car i share we talked about that um i'll probably walk from where I'm at. I know where the reservation is. I could start out really early and meet you guys there. At 1230? Yeah. It was kind of a

me and Carl thing. That's cool if you're there. I just thought you might get hard. I kind of wanted to be there for that and the trash can and the whole thing. No, that's I mean, maybe Carl. That's actually really sweet. Kevin, do you want to just sort of run back sort of what we have? Yeah.

Just like for the show. OK. Family gal is she's a runner. She's a track star and she's running a restaurant. I don't think anyone ever said track star we said sprinter keep it in carl says well she should be good at her job yes if she's a runner she should be a track star because i i'm not gonna sign on to one of these shows where we're just making jokes about like oh she's a runner but she tripped she fell over fumbling around and fucking up like yeah the gun went off and she was like ah you know like that's i don't want to do that shoes and

it's like okay yes you do like let's make her competent it's actually not just very funny to see someone excel in their field like that right it's hilarious i like her the better she is the funnier it's gonna be if she takes off so fast that her clothes are like flying in the air she's left them behind goes all the way around the world i mean i'm dying at that point that's that's making me lose it kevin i'm sorry i jumped down your throat let's give her a win let's make her a track star and let's really drive that home maybe bold it

someone like we know weighing in like Peter saying early on like wow I've seen a lot of fast ladies and you are fast my friend now I'm like here's the remote take the batteries out don't need these fuck that they can watch this for the rest of the day i like that we did i like

that we didn't do a cutaway there you know he says i've seen a lot of fast run he doesn't go like you're the fastest runner i've seen since no No, we're just going to close that out. I'd like to actually, I like her. I want to see more of her. I don't need to like go see a different fast lady. To me, she's not like some launching pad to get me into some other thing where, you know, obviously you could say, wow, you're, you know, you're the fastest sprinter I've ever seen. Other than since Flojo versus the Volcano or something. Like, I'm sure you've done that.

But like, no, I'd like to actually see the characters that I know. We've done that. We've done that. We've done that. Is there anything with the sprinter fan? I just feel like we have, it's like sitting there. In a way, it's too obvious, but also is the audience going to be expecting it so much that they'll be disappointed if we don't deliver on, like, look at that sprinter.

All right, so are you saying she's hashtag van life? Hmm. Because I love that. We just got our second hashtag. So if we're just doing the pitch, right, like, I'm going to walk in and say, all of America needs an escape right now. I'm not even talking about Family Guy, right?

Like, I walk in, I don't talk about Family Guy. Fuck Family Guy. This is about people. This is us. This is me to you. Yeah, like, I mean, first of all, we walk in the room together, everyone's excited, right? Like, everyone's like,

this is exactly what we're here. Yeah. They both showed up. And I say, don't you just want to escape? Don't you? Yeah. Yeah. Everyone hates their life.

Everyone's fucking miserable. Everyone just wants to die and leave where they're at. Which is why hashtag van life is so popular. Oh, my God. Because you're just driving, or I guess you're asleep. Yeah. So family gal takes family guy and puts it into hashtag van life. Well, we already have that she's fast.

Is she a van? Is she a van? Scalpel, okay. Scalpel, okay. The doctor is scrubbing in. I'm listening. Scalpel, okay. Scalpel, okay. The doctor is scrubbing in. I'm listening. So she's a van, and she is family-oriented, right?

It's a van. It fits a lot of people. The whole family can go in the van. So maybe the family. The ultimate family car. Right. Wait, is it just called family car? Well, gender being such a minefield now, like why do we need to jump in? Why don't we just call it family car?

Family car. Right? To just stay away from the whole gender. It's so funny. We come and we go, hey, all we've got right now is family girl. That becomes family gal within an hour. It's family car. And this is why we need you

goldie right because you understand this world this landscape i know we're talking about cars right now and i don't want to throw a wrench into the plane please stop even though you do need a wrench a car would like cars i need a second opinion yeah here we go. By taking the gal out of it, are we silencing women? Tap the scaffold to your temple for a second. I mean, you just asking the question. That's good. And the instinctual answer, I want to say, is no way. Okay.

Yes. And I don't even want to think about it. And just the fact that you asked i think is like great i think that's good we said that we thought about it it's so empowering yes for that entire group that it's like you know it's and i would say this maybe a tagline it's her turn to drive oh hey I got one thing to say about that because cars are generally feminized right

aren't they wait car's defibrillating clear that's what I got to say about that oh okay and what we know about portrayals of cars like this flips christine on its head yeah oh yeah because instead of killing she's giving birth yeah have they done a uh you're

wrong about about christine yet i'm not sure it feels like it it feels like it's time um i i think uh but you know i don't want to beat around the bush too much like really we we've done so much great work and before we kind of like get too deep in what we did really really want to talk about goldie was do you have seth's email anything? Can we talk to him? Oh, that's what... I mean, I have an email, and I don't know if it's the current one, because I've never...

I've had different emails from him, and I've never actually gotten a direct response to my emails. Well, send Kevin what you got. Okay, but you're not going to just take this and cut me out, are you?

Scapple. Bye. Bye. Hollywood Hamburg. That was a HeadGum Podcast.
