Starting point is 00:00:31 Got an STD, wanna seize the cheese, some 10 cent piece, making your earned night booty with just breath and preach and tune in for free, meanwhile they're protecting your identity with anonymity, can you guess the theme then let me hand the mic over to Theodore Leslie That goose meat, I'm a gay skeleton but I got kaboose meat, how's that for fair? Well I'll tell you what, don't, don't, I'll woof and duck and shut the fuck up, bitch I'll run your neck so fucking fast, it'll feel like an undeserved sundae but last, and you know that I'm a beast in every single regard, cause rapping in this voice is so fucking hard
Starting point is 00:01:02 And we're out of time, unless she's goddamn fine, in which case swipe right for that goddamn dang, lick her crack to clit and that fuse is lit, cause she's a bomb in techsjake.com gotcha this shit, this ain't no romcoms, so show me your pom poms, I'ma glom on and go nom nom nom, mom Turn the podcast off, but really you my bitch, wash a dish, leave it on, now I really gotta bounce, but before I do, let me give a shout out to that Ben Schwartz fool, and all my day ones, you all get one too, so say it with me, toadah These two Jews, teaching us Hebrew, but I'll let the pinch get me out of this cinch and
Starting point is 00:01:32 tell me what to do, YouTube that shit, nope, your heart rule, one thing you gotta know and that's yo yo yo Oh mercy Wow Damn, that was really chocolate That was dense That was an encyclopedia Yeah, that was uh, you guys have come a long way
Starting point is 00:01:50 I don't even get half the references Really, yeah That was all of D12, right? The wha- I recognize I'm gonna bring her up my band The one guy, the main guy, sounded like he was recording, but didn't want somebody else to hear him rapping in the other room I was gonna say the exact- I sounded like he recorded that while his mom was home
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah These two Jews, I'll go and stop with you when I'm out with you Teddy? Nothing to do I'm not trying, I'm not trying to do something artistic That's really Cause you have a roommate or something and you don't want them to hear the punks on you recording on your acoustic guitar
Starting point is 00:02:25 I'm barely even gonna try Murph, what are you doing in there? Nothing dude, I'm fricking on the computer man That's so funny I'm not trying I'm not trying to do art I'm not putting effort into- I'm not making something
Starting point is 00:02:40 I'm not trying to sing, why would I do that? I can't sing Why would I try to do that? Effort was so not cool for like 14 years I promise you, I'm not even trying I'm not recording something cause I would suck at you Yeah, why would I fricking practice and try to get better? Why would I do that?
Starting point is 00:03:01 There's nothing lame-er than effort I'm aged 10 Instead of saying you do something, it's like, oh you try? No Did you try to sing? No No You were either good at singing or you're not
Starting point is 00:03:13 There is no try, which is why I don't try Which is why I'm not a singer I just cry If everybody stuck it out with their high school punk bands, we'd all be amazing singers Yeah, that's probably true I really should have never quit No, I'm sure some people would just not get better Well Tom DeLonge didn't necessarily get better, but he got a lot more successful
Starting point is 00:03:32 He did try Yeah, there's a curve of how cool effort is And like starting at age 9, it starts to get less and less And it peaks at minimum at like 16, I think That's when effort is the worst Yeah, right And then it starts to get better And then you really power through
Starting point is 00:03:49 And you power through when you are like full of effort at 18 When everyone thinks you're a fucking loser Then in your 20s, you're like, oh wow, he's an artist now Yeah Wow It's the same thing as like being a nerd in high school You're just like, no matter what you do in high school, you're a loser Unless you're like playing sports, right?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Right Or in a band Bands were cool That's true, yeah But you have to be like relatively good You also have to kind of already be a cool kid And then have a band Like there were so many bad bands in my high school that had followings
Starting point is 00:04:21 Just because it was, you know The cool kid's band The cool kid grew his hair out And now he's an emo kid, you know what I mean? Yeah dude, that's the coolest kid They're not real, they're fucking sell house I'm the real deal Not like me quietly recording in my room so that my dad doesn't hear
Starting point is 00:04:35 This is punk This is punk This is punk, dammit Just plug the pedal right into the computer So nobody hears it I'm wearing headphones So that literally nobody can understand or hear you Episode 199

Starting point is 00:05:20 Hey First episode since number 99 Yeah, I believe so So you did episode 99, you missed 100 through 198 and now you're back baby I'm back Yeah dude Back in the game By the way you did, I don't think you said who recorded that song
Starting point is 00:05:34 You're right I didn't Eric Dale Eric Dale It does sound like a guy who's not allowed to do rapping Eric Eric Yes, Mr. Dale
Starting point is 00:05:49 What are you doing in there? Are you trying? Actually his email We don't try in this family His email kinda sounds like that Hey guys, this is my second theme song submission My first attempt at writing or performing a rap ever Hope the flow passes the muster
Starting point is 00:06:04 I feel like I should give credit to the random YouTuber I got the beat from I literally googled basic rap beat Feel free to shout them out or not, I don't care I don't have any channels and whatnot of my own to shout out But you can credit me as Eric Dale Oh Eric Dale, you're good man, you're good enough You should keep at it Sing louder
Starting point is 00:06:23 Sing louder dude Sing louder Rap harder, rap faster, rap battered Yours like fucking commit man The flow's tight, the lyrics were all great It was good We just railed into it for four minutes and I was like And I was fine
Starting point is 00:06:39 Once he became a human being we're like oh fuck As soon as he said himself that he wasn't sure of himself Then now I wanna build him up, before I wanted to break him down Isn't it weird how fucking shit works like that How you felt bad How you like wanna tear people down until they tear themselves down And you're like oh come on, no you're cool man I'm an M and M and 8 mile thing, like I did this
Starting point is 00:07:00 I went to this school, I'm an idiot Now tell them what they don't know about me And he's like oh shit I can't tear him down Cause he already did it to himself Yeah, and then he shows the whole crowd his white ass Yeah I mean you rabbit Have you seen 8 Mile?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Uh, I've seen bits and pieces on TNT on Stars You've never seen 8 Mile? I don't think so They uh, him and Brittany Murphy have sex in a factory or something Yeah That happens right? Yeah dude, that's cool You never thought Murphy was the one to go

Starting point is 00:09:15 Cheryl That's Cheryl Jessama Cheryl writes I have a big picture question That as an avid day one listener Is certain you haven't addressed Great start I'm a 20 year old junior in college
Starting point is 00:09:28 And I am terminally disillusioned With my garbage social media driven Self indulgent narcissistic generation Of course I'm a bit of a hypocrite Since I listened to your dope podcast On my smart phone However I deleted all my social media accounts And I refuse to be one of those divas
Starting point is 00:09:46 Texting constantly Scrolling through insta While in a goddamn conversation And taking pics Slash selfies I feel like life has become about Documenting shit you do And desperately trying to prove to the world
Starting point is 00:09:59 That your life is cool And exciting Instead of actually living in And truly enjoying the moment There's not a day that goes by Where I don't fantasize about Living in another generation Preferably the 60s
Starting point is 00:10:12 But honestly I'd be happy if I was a teenager In the 90s So I wouldn't have to grow up with this BS I'm curious about your guys' perspective on this Since you were adolescents Before the onslaught of technology Yet participate actively
Starting point is 00:10:28 In social media as 30 year olds Was growing up without it better Should I just accept my generation For what it is? Am I being a curmudgeonly Grandmotherly youth? Thank you Love
Starting point is 00:10:41 Jessimo Cheryl Jessima Jessima Cheryl Carol with a chair Are you 30 Mer? I am 30 You're 30
Starting point is 00:10:51 You're 30 in October Jake's 30 I'm 33 Teenagers in the 90s I also like that she said That she wanted to grow up in the 60s Yeah, fuck it, I'll even take the 90s Vietnam rolled
Starting point is 00:11:04 Imagine if like your brother got drafted I'd rather be in this shit That would be I'd rather be fucking knee deep In the mud here in Viet Cong Getting shot at enough To listen to one other person
Starting point is 00:11:20 Snapchat their brunch Then she could have gone to Woodstock The 60s probably were pretty chill The 60s were chill, I assume The 90s were definitely a simpler time I will say though You always say it was a simpler time When you were a kid
Starting point is 00:11:36 I would advise her to be A little less curmudgeonly Because I think that when we grew up And stuff I mean, didn't you guys sit around With your friends in AOL chat rooms and shit I was just Yeah, that's what I was thinking
Starting point is 00:11:49 During this question Like there was still dumb shit That I did to distract myself Like I would come right home from school And like get onto the computer Be on AOL for like an hour Then watch TV And before that I was like
Starting point is 00:12:01 I would come right home and watch TV And now my phone like distracts me From TV a little bit Yeah, you don't have to TV as much Yeah, I don't know I guess like I'm with her a little bit Like I definitely notice When people have their phones out
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yes A ton Yeah, like at concerts When all the phones go up Yeah That's a thing I had like a nervous breakdown I was like super stoned at governor's ball
Starting point is 00:12:27 Sick Yeah dude, it was fucking ridiculous And I was just watching Kanye, right? Sick Yeah And all I could see in front of me Was like just I mean it's a sea of phones
Starting point is 00:12:38 But I kept on looking at this One person's phone And all they were doing was Just like They were like holding the phone And then zooming in Zooming in And trying to like
Starting point is 00:12:47 Take a picture of Kanye Like Yeah Fully zoomed in Like kind of green And they would like tap it And try to take a picture But it would come out of focus
Starting point is 00:12:55 And they would tap it again And they would zoom in zoom out And I was just like I just wanted to tell them Yeah That it does You don't have to zoom in You can zoom in afterwards
Starting point is 00:13:03 Just buy it on Getty Images There are better pictures of Kanye out there, right? You're not going to take the perfect one And like There are people taking like Full five minute videos of his performance Like that's just filling up your phone Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:16 What are you going to do? Watch that later? Man and it's So I definitely understand And sometimes when I'm talking to somebody And they're on their phone I just want to Just like
Starting point is 00:13:25 Catch a little glimpse of what they're doing Just And I'm like If they're emailing If they're texting That's okay And if it's If it's scrolling through Instagram
Starting point is 00:13:33 I'm like Fuck you So I do get it I do get it a little bit And now that I'm snapchatting I've discovered a new sad thing Do you snapchat? No
Starting point is 00:13:43 So snapchat You turn it on And it's your camera instantly And sometimes it's facing out Which is fine And sometimes it's facing back at me So like Turn it on
Starting point is 00:13:53 And I just see my Sad board complacent Resting face Just like my fat on the toilet Like And that's like The first thing you see When you turn on snapchat
Starting point is 00:14:03 Which is like A perfect logo Of what your life has become When you're on snapchat It's like My mouth open Drooping down Greasy forehead
Starting point is 00:14:12 Like swiping through stuff And the fact that you can like Sometimes see it Staring right back at you When you open the app I highly recommend Switching that default To the outwardly facing one
Starting point is 00:14:22 That way you don't have To stare yourself into the soul Before seeing What somebody you don't know Added to their snap story Which is a whole other Piece of social media obligation That I've added to my life
Starting point is 00:14:33 For seemingly no reason I used to like Oh shit I gotta scroll through these Instagrams Like What if I have an unseen Instagram I gotta clear this feed Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:41 But I don't remember Any Instagrams ever Like I'm spending At least 15 minutes a day Looking at the photos But I can't tell you one But also life isn't so good That you like
Starting point is 00:14:51 Shouldn't be distracted from it ever Like Yeah most of All of these times That you'd be sitting on You're sitting on the toilet And looking at yourself And you look like a shrub
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah Most of life is just Shrubby stuff It's just Trying to get into a Parking space Cleaning the dishes Taking shits
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's just real dumb Most of the time Yeah Toilet is fun I think toilet Smartphone use is good I feel bad about myself When I'm using it
Starting point is 00:15:20 While I'm talking to people Like if I get an email While I'm talking to someone Sometimes I'll check it Which is bad I'll look at my phone While I'm watching Other
Starting point is 00:15:28 Something on TV So I'm staring at two screens At once Yeah And then I'll shut off My computer And take out my phone And go to a website
Starting point is 00:15:36 I was just on So why did I Even use my computer The worst is When you're getting an Like answering email Then you have to pee You get up to go to the bathroom
Starting point is 00:15:44 And on my walk to the bathroom I will look at my phone Check my email That I was just on It's crazy It's true It's fucking crazy But if you look at
Starting point is 00:15:52 Older generations I mean Have you ever gone to visit An aunt or an uncle Or something And they just have Local news on all day Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:00 Like My 24 hour news cycle Is for like older generations Just so they can have White noise That's their twitter feed Yeah Exactly
Starting point is 00:16:10 If anything happens I want to be the first to know Yeah Right If anything I think you could be A little thankful That we live in a time
Starting point is 00:16:18 Where the stuff we consume And do can be so curated By like You get to choose Who you're following On your phone Or on your email That's like
Starting point is 00:16:26 Kinda nice And also I mean I know I would have lost touch with In high school or whatever That I've reunited with Over the years
Starting point is 00:16:34 Because of Facebook Or something Because it would just be like You know You see somebody on messenger That you haven't seen in a while And you're like Oh hey
Starting point is 00:16:42 Are you going home for Thanksgiving or whatever Like while you're in college And you stay friends With that person Or whatever Yeah I think the key for her
Starting point is 00:16:50 Is to find the Joy the good parts of it Right Which is like Maybe you follow news stuff On twitter So you have a twitter account And you follow news feeds
Starting point is 00:16:58 Suddenly you're becoming Friends I can't recommend this app The New York Times Now this app It's great Great for Sort of meaningful
Starting point is 00:17:06 News And it's like You want to read it So It scratches the itch Of Instagram While reading news Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:14 Exactly And you're right To say that you should Find the joy In social media And all that stuff Because it's not going Anywhere
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah It's not going to make Her any happier To be mad At her generation Right And you can just Find Instagram
Starting point is 00:17:30 And follow Just like Any Instagram That makes her happy Like Like outdoors the Instagrams It's a nice way to
Starting point is 00:17:38 Find places You want to visit Yeah You can use it For good The douchebags Have been around forever Like the people
Starting point is 00:17:46 She's talking about Are just The assholes her age Right The percentage of people That are just out in the world That you're going to Become friends with
Starting point is 00:17:54 And really connect with Is very small Yeah These people That she's talking about Are just people Who aren't her friends Right
Starting point is 00:18:02 But she's only 20 What if when What if the pool of I feel like us being 30 There's a bigger pool Of non douchebags Maybe when you're younger Now they're mostly
Starting point is 00:18:12 They're mostly douchebags I can't imagine Going to high school And college While having all these distractions I feel like I would Get a lot less done Like having to
Starting point is 00:18:21 Now I have to do real work But if I had to do Like something boring Like school work And then also have All this stuff Like staring at me Or like I'm on my computer
Starting point is 00:18:29 Trying to like Learn While Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatever Is happening I feel like it would be So much more distracted We kind of had that stuff
Starting point is 00:18:37 With instant messenger though Right Yeah, we had one thing Like I am Or gchat We had the whole Like the whole internet When you were
Starting point is 00:18:45 At your computer During high school Yeah, but there was no I didn't have Facebook When I was in high school I didn't have Twitter These are the social aspects Yeah, no social media
Starting point is 00:18:53 So it is harder I would imagine But at the same time Am I growing Is growing up without it better Is her first question We don't know anything else But I don't know
Starting point is 00:19:05 I don't think it is better Like I remember Going outside a bunch As a kid But then I also Sat around and watched TV There were times When I just like
Starting point is 00:19:15 Lie upside down on the couch And be like This is so fucking boring Yeah, do you remember What am I doing today Being in high school Or something And not having a cell phone
Starting point is 00:19:23 And not having any way to Talk to people Except for The landline And just sitting around And waiting for somebody To call you So you can leave
Starting point is 00:19:33 Your fucking house It was so Life was so boring It was so boring Yeah, imagine having nothing to do Like even right now There's always stuff I can do Even if it's as small as like
Starting point is 00:19:46 Tweeting something Trying to stay socially relevant But there was a time in my life Where I just woke up And I'm like I have nothing It's summer I really don't have anything to do
Starting point is 00:19:56 Until school starts I have zero Yeah I'll what Read an encyclopedia I guess Isn't that kind of nice If you're 19 years old And you just wake up on a Saturday
Starting point is 00:20:06 And you don't have a soccer game That day or something What do you do? You're not sitting there And you know Writing a screenplay or something You could be That would be great
Starting point is 00:20:17 But you're either Scrolling through your phone Or you're just sitting there Being like Oh my God That's why I a little bit Miss school Because none of my stuff
Starting point is 00:20:26 Is currently being graded Like I'm creating stuff And it's like I don't know if I passed or failed It just exists I need somebody to judge me Nobody is judging me And I feel like I missed that
Starting point is 00:20:38 People judge you You have ratings on your podcast You guys You guys are just more complicated The grades are from fans Not like teachers Yeah, I need a B Or a C
Starting point is 00:20:48 Like I need somebody to be like That podcast episode Was actually a B minus Oh God I would hate the grading system Because you didn't get good grades I got great grades Did you?
Starting point is 00:21:01 They were all over the place Sometimes I got really great grades And sometimes I got really bad grades What was your GPA in high school? I think I... Three Three point something Is that like
Starting point is 00:21:15 A's B's and a little bit of C's? B Did you guys do a GPA in high school? Or was it just like A, B, C's for you guys? Well, GPA is an average of the A's, B's and C's Right But I mean, did they actually give you a GPA Yeah
Starting point is 00:21:34 On your report card? Yeah They did not They didn't I think they did I think they did for us No, yeah, they did I don't remember what it was
Starting point is 00:21:42 I think it was a three-something You have to submit that number to colleges, didn't you? I went to a... I was in New Jersey Homeschooled and... I didn't do homework in high school What? I just didn't do it
Starting point is 00:21:56 Wait, like it was a sign that you didn't complete it? I would try to scramble to do it right before I go to class Like at my locker in the morning Or copy somebody else's homework or something Just real quick or do it on the bus or something Right You had to just show something But I remember there would be times like...
Starting point is 00:22:13 For math, you didn't even necessarily have to have all the answers right It just needed to be done And there were days where I was so lazy That I wouldn't even like... I would just show the teacher You'd be like, go around checking homework And I would show her the blank piece of paper And I'd be like, I'm sorry, I didn't do it
Starting point is 00:22:29 Yeah, he too What do you do with the teacher? You're like, okay I had such a... Fuck you I had such a bad reputation eventually That those teachers would start spending whole minutes Looking over mine while they kind of glazed over everybody else's
Starting point is 00:22:45 And they would be like Okay, you clearly copied this answer Because all of this work leads nowhere This is nothing, you just wrote numbers That's really funny They know more than you When you're like, all out smart them They're just the teacher
Starting point is 00:23:00 What do they know? How do you get away with that for years, though? If you show a lot of work And then you have like a... And you can genuinely earnestly say Like, I tried, I just didn't really understand this And it's like, okay, well, I see that you put in the effort And they wouldn't like deduct you for missing homework
Starting point is 00:23:16 But yeah, then... But I did my homework I did my homework probably half the time To not be hyperbolic But like half the time, I actually did So did you just get C's in high school? I got B's and C's and a couple A's here and there Did your parents know that you didn't do your homework?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah Probably Did your teachers like you? Yeah, because I was nice I was a good kid I was apologetic I've been like, my teachers always... I was funny and I was nice
Starting point is 00:23:45 And I would make jokes that weren't like At the teacher's expense I would make jokes like for the teachers So they liked me And I didn't ever get really bad grades Yeah, I was a loud kid Who wasn't like a criminal Right, not disruptive
Starting point is 00:24:00 Positive jokes Yeah Like kids in my school would just be like This dude just sat on his desk And wouldn't get down Even though the teacher begged him to So the principal had to come in and wrestle And just, what is, why?
Starting point is 00:24:14 Just weird acts of defiance That weren't funny or anything So the fact that you only did homework half the time Is like, oh, you're still pretty good Yeah Yeah, it's like, oh, you should have done your homework But damn it, Brian, we like you At least you didn't sit on your desk
Starting point is 00:24:28 I guess that was a pretty low-stakes example A high bar All I have to do is not protest Did you guys have any kids expelled from your school? I think so I can't totally remember It wasn't like an incident We had a couple like drugs on retreats
Starting point is 00:24:50 Kids getting expelled situations Yeah, we did What, really? Yeah I mean like weed Nothing beyond weed, but like Kids would show up We had like academic probation
Starting point is 00:25:02 If you got in trouble when you're on probation You got expelled My school was kind of strict about it, I guess Did you have any friends that were expelled? Uh, yeah I had like two friends that got expelled Damn That's baller, dude
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah, dude, it was kind of sick Yeah What'd they do? One, they smoked weed in math With the teacher I think they like cut class and smoked weed At the athletic fields or something And they got caught
Starting point is 00:25:30 Damn Yeah, it's pretty cool Are those kids good people now? Or did they turn out to be bad people? I lost that with one of them But the other person is a good person Oh yeah She's doing well
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah I wonder how expelled kids end up turning out Is it just like a 50-50 shot still Or is it like mostly bad seeds? Probably 50-50 Because I feel like some kids take that as a turning point You're like, okay, you got expelled from your last school This is your last shot
Starting point is 00:25:54 And then they do better And sometimes they're acting out at school Because that's not the right fit for them Yeah, they're like smart That's the coolest cool to be Is like, I'm smarter than school Right And then some got bad grades
Starting point is 00:26:06 But a great SAT score without studying Some of them have like problems with addiction And then that's not necessarily gonna... That's even cooler, man Yeah, dude That's the coolest you could be One's a doctor and one's dead So 50-40

Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah That's exciting Yeah We asked you to do a podcast for headgum Yeah And we're totally going to do a podcast We uh We actually have a contract
Starting point is 00:30:35 Right here Yeah, it's very strict You guys You guys own us I should have read it We're actually not Here's a knife because you sign in blood We're not letting you leave

Starting point is 00:30:51 Murph at Jagan Amir's house But you know Do you You don't have an idea for a podcast yet Right No we have We have an idea We
Starting point is 00:30:59 So we had one originally That was Kind of Very pop-cultury But uh We're not Pop-culture nerds in that way So it came off kind of weird
Starting point is 00:31:07 Like we watch We watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer together And it just ended up Us both being like Buffy was good I think I'm on Team Angel and Buffy
Starting point is 00:31:17 I like them together You like it We don't know Who wrote it Or what they really went on to do Yeah So I I think something
Starting point is 00:31:25 Stupid Or maybe like That'll get us a little bit more Passionate Would be a better idea We talked about doing something Where We might call it like
Starting point is 00:31:33 Trouble and Paradise Or something Where we both bring Something To make the other person angry Like just like A statement That's not
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's not personal But it's just like This movie That you always talk about I actually hate it Right Here's why it's bad Or something like that
Starting point is 00:31:49 Are you gonna blindside her About it? Or is it like Stupid Party They both Emily hates the blindside Yeah So Emily could
Starting point is 00:31:57 You know Come in and be like I actually Hate pro wrestling And this is why it's dumb And this is why And I would be crushed That's really
Starting point is 00:32:05 And all the stuff you've been Polite about It's almost like Empowering It's bragging about How strong your relationship is Yeah Well it's not
Starting point is 00:32:13 It would be about Dumb things like that Where we could Get into arguments about You know Why the ultimate warrior Is cool or something Instead of
Starting point is 00:32:22 We're not gonna be like You know Oh this Serious relationship thing Yeah I didn't like Going to your house For things to do

Starting point is 00:33:07 Is episode 1 Of your show It's a crossover So cool Let's answer some more questions Cause I feel like we only got to one It was That one was more of like
Starting point is 00:33:16 An overarching thesis She was just like What is society right now That's another good idea For a podcast That's like One big question It's almost people suggest
Starting point is 00:33:24 A theme for Yeah One big question That's a good Title too Shit That's what You want to outsource that
Starting point is 00:33:32 To Murph and Emily Yeah take it One big question I love that Oh that would be another funny idea For a podcast Is outsourcing it So you just get like
Starting point is 00:33:41 Four Indians in a room Somewhere in India And be like Hey yeah Your assignment is to Make a podcast You don't have to do telemarketing Or
Starting point is 00:33:49 Data analysis Or entry Just make a podcast That would be really cool Let's do that Seems a little Outsourced podcast Seems a little racist right
Starting point is 00:33:57 Like a little vaguely That's what the first episode covers Is this podcast racist And this My following impersonation Will be why it is racist Okay so ask me Is this racist
Starting point is 00:34:11 I'm gonna ask you Not to do that Cause you did just You put on a Turban really quickly Can you not Can you do impressions of people Without it being racist
Starting point is 00:34:21 I don't know There's I feel like it's not like Cut and dry right There's There's some sort of Gray area where you could do An impression
Starting point is 00:34:30 That's not racist And you could do Well you can't impersonate A people right I don't know dude You can impersonate southern people Like nobody If I did like
Starting point is 00:34:40 A twangy southern accent Nobody would be like Hey Jake That's really racist And if they did I could probably be like No big deal But then if I did
Starting point is 00:34:48 A really offensive And I'm already Calling it really offensive I just did An Asian accent What if it actually Sounds like them I don't know
Starting point is 00:34:56 I think it's just Like the way It makes people feel And if it makes enough People feel like Uncomfortable Then hey It's racist
Starting point is 00:35:04 Let's get to an actual question Do you have a guy's name? Murphy Yeah Bucket Alright Bucket right Don't dude
Starting point is 00:35:15 Hey guys Currently preparing Great nickname Hey guys Currently preparing For a bodybuilding show Which consists of me Doing my thing up on stage
Starting point is 00:35:23 For one minute The only problem is That I can't think of a song That would be unique And powerful Do you guys Have any ideas To help me beast this
Starting point is 00:35:32 I'm just going to Do a bunch of words At the bottom here In case you do A word search thing Watermelon, pineapple, almond, tree bark Tits of mackerel fish Thanks
Starting point is 00:35:41 Love Bucket All good Words to search When I Knowing that he needs a song To pump him up For a bodybuilding competition
Starting point is 00:35:51 Made me like Do this silent laugh That almost made me cry Instantly Like I was so excited To pump him up I think this is Stage shit
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, I know That's why I'm Psyched This is amazing What an amazing opportunity To help a specimen Reach his true potential Yeah, he's got a
Starting point is 00:36:11 Tweet a picture at us, right? I want to see how beefy he is Yeah, Tweet a pic At chmerf Yeah Are you still lifting Doing all that? You're out of that?
Starting point is 00:36:21 You're out of the game? Yeah, I do jujitsu now I do jujitsu Oh, still? Yeah Oh, cool So I'm digging that Yeah, let's actually
Starting point is 00:36:29 What's a good song for this, dude? It's gotta be epic, right? Yeah, I've got one That I think is really It's a little subversive But I think it's pretty neat I believe in the rhythm of the night Dancing to the morning light
Starting point is 00:36:44 Not that Oh, not that My suggestion? Yeah I gotta go first? Sure I feel pretty Oh, so pretty
Starting point is 00:36:54 So it's sort of like Playful A little coy A little saying like It's almost like I don't need the song to be huge And masculine Because I am huge and masculine
Starting point is 00:37:05 And I am pretty And I feel gay I feel pretty and witty and gay Yeah, dude It's fucking owning that shit That's my suggestion All right Murph, you got one?
Starting point is 00:37:20 I gotta think long and hard about this Yeah Yeah, the first thing I think of are like Just when I hear that beast song I think of like What's that band that goes Like up Like up
Starting point is 00:37:35 Like up But that's what everyone's gonna be doing Let the bodies hit the floor Click, click, boom Like all that shit Don't do that Don't buy into it I'm saying
Starting point is 00:37:46 I feel pretty That's too far in the other direction I think Yeah They're subversive and there's just wrong What about Rocky like a hurricane? Oh, here I am Yeah
Starting point is 00:38:00 That's good He swagger's over to the front of his day Rocky like it And then he strikes perfect lat pose in the back Are you ready for the weather? Then he turns around Perfect abs Pops the back on the left
Starting point is 00:38:19 Pops the back on the right You know all the moves Yeah, dude I mean there's also something to like a mashup or something Oh yeah, so it starts with that Yeah, like Or a Or a remix
Starting point is 00:38:34 Or just straight up Bangorang by Rufio How's that one go? In the beginning it's like Bangorang I think if he came out at Bangorang And then started to really bust moves Yeah I think that'd be pretty sick
Starting point is 00:38:53 I also like the new Missy Elliott song Like It's The dance that you do when it's dumb Oh wait, wait, guys, got it We're actually out of time No, no Power by Kanye West
Starting point is 00:39:13 Oh Oh That is cool Yeah A lot of Kanye's songs would be good Also like the one that goes Oh yeah Yeah, I like power though
Starting point is 00:39:32 Because it's a little lesser Because no one man should have all that power Referring to his body No one should be this shredded That is cool So it starts with I feel pretty Oh so pretty And I pity
Starting point is 00:39:48 A girl that isn't me to Yeah, bash up, come on, I love it We can get girl Tosh to do it Yeah, that's perfect Tweet us a picture of your body, bro More than anything else Alright, let's answer one more question Before we have to go
Starting point is 00:40:07 Is that okay? Are you in a rush? Anybody? Nope I feel bad we only got to three questions Is this the lowest question? No There was Ben did an episode where we didn't answer a question
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah, we didn't get the one So zero is the record And you guys have him on the 200th episode We don't know yet It's all a surprise No, but everyone's fucking speculating Like the Twitter sphere is a buzz with this shit Who's gonna be?
Starting point is 00:40:30 To episode 200, we don't know So you guys are fucked Like you have no idea Yeah, we actually have no idea We have no bullshit for ambly Ben's not answering your texts Thomas is too I'm actually just gonna
Starting point is 00:40:40 Give you back on for 200% Does Thomas still talk to you? Just me Not to us But he'll tweet and I assume it's to me Alright Another females question Alright
Starting point is 00:40:53 Ladies' choice Let's see Ladies' choice? Cause this is a ladies voice And it's the latest Basket Bucket in basket My two twins
Starting point is 00:41:06 I dated this guy for like a month We snapped, we laughed We had sex We talked every day for a month Then one day he stopped I reached out a week later to say hi And you can tell that he wanted to pull a classic fade away Now it's been like two months since we last talked
Starting point is 00:41:21 And here's the question I wanna know what happened And why he did the fade away How it would be an appropriate way And a smooth way to ask that Without seeming desperate Note for the pod You should do an episode where you talk about yourselves
Starting point is 00:41:35 How did you guys meet And moments you guys have had together Alright Now let's do that Moments we have had together That is nice We'll do it We'll do an all
Starting point is 00:41:46 Us asking each other questions episode That one's good Alright The fade away Have you ever been faded away? No Have you ever faded away? No
Starting point is 00:41:55 I've mostly just consistently been in relationships So you've gotten closure as to why it ended Why? Like you never were left Yeah, absolutely Wait a minute, what happened? Yeah, totally Jacob?
Starting point is 00:42:06 I have faded away on several people And they Almost everyone I've ever dated Do they ever reach out and be like why Or is it like understood? No No They don't nobody
Starting point is 00:42:19 I don't think anybody's ever reached out There's been times like when I fade away from somebody Then we like We'll meet up again Like at a bar Maybe like You know
Starting point is 00:42:29 A month or two later You'll just meet up and have sex Or something one last time And they'll talk about like you don't Yeah You stopped calling me And I was like You never call me on my cell phone
Starting point is 00:42:40 Do you know hotline bling? Yeah That would be another Hotline bling That would be a bad one for the Workout one Yeah For sure
Starting point is 00:42:48 Don't do that one Don't do it How about you? I try not to ghost Like to leave confusion I try to like give an explanation But I have been like I've had like certain things
Starting point is 00:43:01 Ended and I'm like I wonder why it ended And I was too proud to ask And then I realized Why ask? Because the answer is always the same I didn't like you enough To want to see you
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah And it's never like It's because you did this specifically I don't think there's this Generally There's not a satisfying answer That this guy will provide Because no matter what it is
Starting point is 00:43:25 He probably won't be 100% candid Which is I just didn't like you enough To keep on seeing you Yeah Or he'll be like Oh I met somebody else Or he'll say
Starting point is 00:43:35 You're really busy Or something like that Yeah He'll just He doesn't want to see you anymore He didn't necessarily do it In a great way But I don't think there's an answer
Starting point is 00:43:45 That sheds any worthwhile light On why you got ghosted Yeah And without seeming desperate Thing There's no way to like Reach out after two months And be like
Starting point is 00:43:56 I was just thinking You know What happened to us? That's not There's no smooth way to do it Yeah I feel like if you were going to ask It should have been right away
Starting point is 00:44:04 Like hey Just that curiosity Why not now Sure And it's kind of irrelevant right I mean it would be easier for her To just cut this dude out of her life And just be done with it
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah Because there's no There's no good answer That comes from this She doesn't have a future with this guy Nobody that's actually Worth your time Would just stop talking to you
Starting point is 00:44:26 Right So that's like What do you glean from this From his response There's There's no Answer That like
Starting point is 00:44:35 Gives you new information Going forward Into a different relationship Like okay So this next one I'll just I won't do whatever I did last time
Starting point is 00:44:44 Right You didn't do anything last time He just Stopped talking to you Yeah You guys just aren't Right for each other What was I going to say
Starting point is 00:44:55 Fuck No Wait Come back This is me Like on a raft This is you Drifting away from an island
Starting point is 00:45:04 Oh a lot of Okay I got it A lot of the times You reach out again Because you're hoping That it leads to More Like a second chance
Starting point is 00:45:13 Like Oh hey I was just wondering What happened And then it's like Oh we're talking again Oh hopefully We can hook up again
Starting point is 00:45:21 So maybe You don't actually want an answer You just want to be with him again Which is probably Not going to happen Right You're just putting off Getting over it
Starting point is 00:45:29 You're like I can't get over it Until I have an answer I need closure But really any end of a relationship Is the closure That you need to move on Right And a meaningful relationship
Starting point is 00:45:38 You can always ask somebody Like I feel like you're People are a lot more Open with each other In a really meaningful relationship Then you actually get Some good information
Starting point is 00:45:47 Like You were too jealous And that weighed on me Or like you were too dependent Or you weren't available That kind of thing Yeah But on a
Starting point is 00:45:56 After I've been with someone For a month They asked like Why I didn't want to be with them And it's because I thought their voice was annoying I would probably just be like I got really busy with work
Starting point is 00:46:06 I'm sorry Are you sure that's why? Is there anything about me I can change Can you change your voice? Is that like a Yeah Surgery you can have
Starting point is 00:46:19 Yeah Whoa dude Wait Bucket Hey You guys know that bucket I know that can you A song
