This is a headgum podcast.
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
that I used to go get something to eat
Kiss the winner, but wait, he wants a guy to eat
and a man, does this make me?
Bye
Give me some advice
If I could email in, things would get better
Choose a name that's fainting one forever
Let your jokes rush down on me and take me away
Yeah haha
Do you know what that was?
It was a yellow card cover
That's right, Ocean Avenue parody
Of all of the pop punk in the world that I love
I never got into yellow card
You know, it's funny you say that
because my college roommate of three years
Pavla, shout out to Pavla
was so into yellow card
and I think it was mostly younger fans at the time
She had this huge crush on the lead singer
and I still remember his name because of that
Ryan Key
Yeah, which is a great name for a front man
of a pop punk band in 2002
He called yellow card the violinist
And she was so into yellow card
that she like started meeting people
from a yellow card message board
No, no way, no way
I think she even like made some lifelong friends
from the yellow card message board
Well, I guess that's nice
I guess that's nice as long as they've bonded
about something outside of yellow card
Remember message boards? Just the idea of message boards
My original, the first time I ever used chat rooms
was an offspring message board
Yeah, for the band offspring
But it wasn't because I liked offspring
It was just because that was the only place
that I could find a chat room
For those of you who are under the age of 30
message boards were like the internet
but before any social media
It was kind of like omega actually
Yeah, so instead of having a Facebook
or a MySpace that you said
Oh, I like this stuff
Let me find some like-minded people that also do
It was a website that was a message board
that you said
Oh, I can't wait to see offspring in Oakland
and then other people can chime in
and say, yeah, I'll go to that show with you
Yeah, I guess that's like what the internet
was good for back in the day
and now it's just a whole goddamn mess
I wonder if Instagram killed message boards
I feel like they were dead before
Instagram came around, right?
But like message boards still sort of exist
There are still message boards
Remember like on AOL you can access like
alt.usenet.
It's like pre-internet message boards
where I would like post stuff
I don't even understand what it was
but it was like text only
non-website message boards that you can-
I was chatting with like other Conan O'Brien fans
in like 1997
Wow, that's- I mean that's early
I feel like
maybe it was like 1998
I was just trying to cyber with people
in the offspring chat
Does anybody just want to cyber?
I don't even like offspring
It was all 12 year olds
all pretending to be 19
all cybering with each other
Smash the album is good
but I'd rather just smash you
I wish I was that clever
So this guy was Jackson
aka atjants1
underscore on Instagram
the third installment of a pop punk parody
also calling out my friend
John Thorpe who's honestly a herb
his band is Club Paradise
and they released their latest singer
Closer on all platforms
so you can find it on streaming
follow us at
thisisclubparadise
Okay
and he'll take one request from each of us
Oh, like we can give him a song
that we want him to make a cover of?
Yeah, can you name another song
that you want him to cover?
Yeah, dude, I was so fucking into
the starting line
Do you remember the starting line?
Did you ever listen to them?
Is that another yellow card song?
No, no, that's a band
I was never on their message board
Let me see
There's a lot of good
Oh, the best of me
You know that song, you know the best of me
The best, the best of me
No, not even close, dude
We got older
but we're still young
You can have the best of me
No song
No, I don't know that
It's so good
Have we done an L?
I think it's good, I don't remember now
It definitely felt good at the time
Have we done an L Scorcho Weezer?
Have we ever done an L Scorcho parody?
That transcends pop punk
I think we have done that though
That's as close as I can get to loving pop punk
Doing an L Scorcho
That's not true, you love pop punk
Yeah, but I never got as into it as you
Who did?
Usenet news groups, that's what I was on
That's why I'm looking up
I'm just trying to jog my memory here
If anybody was on that Conan O'Brien
Usenet news group, hit me up
It's been 30 years, but I'm down to hand
They're all dead now, man
Of course
Alright, thank you
Chance 1 underscore
Can you have an underscore at the end of your handle?
I feel like that's kind of a cheat
I mean, I really appreciate everything this guy's done for us
But that's too many plugs
He gave us his fucking band
His Instagram
His friends' band
Their single and their Instagram
Yeah, no, that's just his personal Instagram
What are we all supposed to do here?
That's just too much
He gave us a nice little six minutes of content
At the top, we talked about Yellowcard
He made an original song for us
And I want him to do the best of me
Trust me, I want him to do the best of me
You also have a request for future work
I mean, his Instagram
The band single, his friends' Instagram
His band's Instagram
Yeah, sorry
And then I think it was his freaking Facebook page
And it go fund me
And then a link to a Kickstarter that he's doing
We've spent more time making fun of him now
Than promoting his stuff
Do you appreciate the underscore at the end of the Instagram handle?
I feel like that shouldn't be possible
I mean, it's definitely possible
I feel like that's...
It's obviously for somebody that doesn't care
If they have followers or not
Yeah, because you can't tell someone
My name is at Jake for underscores
Yeah, no, that's just not going to happen
But I've seen people do cool stuff with underscore
Where it looks interesting
And if your name is searchable
That'll show up
Would you rather have at Jake Hurwitz on Instagram
Or at Jake underscore on Instagram?
I think Jake Hurwitz
Okay, what about at Jake Hurwitz
Or at underscore Jake?
At underscore Jake sounds awful
I would not want that at all
Alright, what about at Jake Hurwitz
Or at J underscore
Ake underscore
Herbitch 69 underscore
I want Herbitch underscore
That's cool
I feel like I can still get that one too
We got a few minor updates
Before we get into the questions
Updates on what?
Two weeks ago, you asked
To be someone's godfather
Oh, oh my god
Last week, Rhiannon
Pronounced Rhiannon, I'm getting
Said...
Sorry, Rhiannon's mother said
You can be my daughter's godfather
That's sick
You said I want to see photos
Of her before I commit
And it wasn't...
But it wasn't like I want to see photos
That makes me sound like
So fucking weird
Yeah, which I called you out on
You wanted to make sure that she
Looked Aryan or some shit to you
No, I did not
Anyway, this lady
Katie says
I freaked out when you read my email
Never dreamed you'd see it let alone read it on the pod
Which is fair, maybe we shouldn't have at all
A lady named Katie
That's right
But here is my daughter
She sent us photos, do you see this photo
Of this sweet Rhiannon?
Excuse me
Oh, she's beautiful
Oh my god
Rhiannon
Are you ready to commit yet or do you want to see
Maybe like a video
She's wrapped up in a fox blanket
She's on the couch, she's drinking a baba
She's watching TV
Fuck yeah dude
We can hang, oh and here she is
She's like at the park, she's got a dress
She has big hearts
Sunglasses
Yeah, I'm in
I can be Rhiannon's godfather
Actually, let's ask for a video so you can hear her voice
Maybe she has a dumb voice
No, I don't need a video, I'm in
You're talking about my fucking goddaughter
Right now
She might have a dumb voice
No, you just made a dumb choice
What?
You shouldn't make fun of my flesh and blood
Like that
You shouldn't be your flesh and blood
Family is a blood bond
It doesn't matter if we actually share the blood
That is my flesh and blood
Yes, it does matter
That's exactly what flesh and blood means
That you share the blood
You can't say it doesn't matter if we share the blood
She's my flesh and blood
Don't tell me that my goddaughter is not my flesh and blood
Yes, that's what I'm saying
Your goddaughter is your goddaughter
Which is a nice bond, a great bond, a spiritual connection
She's not your flesh and blood
You're talking about my ancestors
No, I'm not
No, I'm not
Yes, you are
My heir
Great grandfather or something
Is your ancestor
This is my family
Fruit from the family tree
I'll give you family
But you can't specify flesh and blood
You're pissed or something
Or something
Alright, let's go to another
I'm pissed
You're talking about Riannan, my daughter
Another non-question email we got
Something, it says, Jake needs to see this
And it was an ad
I don't know if you saw this
I forwarded it to you
It's an ad for a tube
That lets you piss inside of thinner water bottles
While you drive
Somebody's been sending
Something like this on Instagram
It's like this plastic tube
It's thick at the top
So you can stick your dick in it
And then it curves down
With a tiny little thin funnel
That you can attach to a water bottle
Right, it's a funnel, it's a long funnel with a hose
This is...
Okay, so this product is
Stupid
Because your dick is the hose
You don't need a second hose
This thing is like, put your penis in this hose
This hose goes into a bottle
Your penis is the hose
Your penis goes into the bottle
This is adding an extra step
Now you have two things that are...
Also, you have two things covered in piss
In your car
And the funnel doesn't have a cap
The bottle at least has a cap
It doesn't smell once you cap it
I guess it's like a way of pissing
It's a way of pissing inside the bottle
But a little cleaner, because the way you do it
You need to get a gatorade bottle
And there might be some splash
That might be a way of pissing into
A regular, like, Poland spring bottle
Which does have too thin
Of an opening
But I don't think you need
All of this accoutrements
There's a splash guard too
I mean, you obviously can't use this one
While you're driving
You can't improve upon the gatorade bottle
You can't improve upon the gatorade bottle
Somebody sent me one thing that was close
And I'll tell you what it was
It was a friggin' Martinelli's glass apple
It's actually kind of what this thing is
Which is like that little hose
It looks like a little accordion
But this thing
It could scrunch up and it was
Like a little disc
And then you unscrunch it
It's the accordion
You piss directly into that
Okay
So you're saying the bottle slash accordion
Is all one product
You do not need an intermediary
Between your dick
And the bottle
Like the penis should go directly into the bottle
There's no need for a funnel
Like P into the bottle
Not P into a thing
Then into the bottle
And I don't want to get too crass
Because I know my goddaughter listens to this podcast
I don't think she listens
Trust me
Rhiannon is allowed to listen to the show
She's a big girl
Don't worry about Rhiannon
Don't tell me how to raise my girl
You're not raising her
Don't tell me how to raise my fucking girl
I think you're kind of misunderstanding
My goddaughter means
You think you're raising this child
No I am god
And this is my daughter
The guy in this funnel demo
Is not holding the bottle I should say
That's a very precarious situation he's in
I mean this is obviously a photo op
There's no chance that he's paying
You can't just put your dick
Into this hose and like P straight up
Like you
This is not how peeing in the car looks
And that's coming from somebody who
Has peed in the car
Easily a thousand times
You know what this is, this guy has pulled over
And now he's in his back seat
So car's not moving
The water bottle's on the floor
And he's got some more room to entertain this idea
And obviously if you're going to do that
Then you might as well just piss onto the side of the road
Because what this dude is doing here
In this photo is just collecting P for some reason
Maybe it's like I proud it
I pee the bottle out of absolute necessity
Yeah but if it's like a crowded area
And you don't want to piss on the side of the road
Yeah I mean I don't want to piss on the side of the road
But like the way this guy is he's in the back seat
It looks like it's just
Or you know what it probably is
He's in a lift
So this guy's like
Ubering somewhere and stopping
He gets into a lift with like a messenger bag
It's like excuse me do you mind
I don't even think you ask
You just sort of whip out your hog
Slide it into the funnel
And let him go to town
And be like sorry I know I should be
I should be gripping the bottle to make sure it doesn't spill
But can you drive a little smoother
If you're a real pro
Your dick is always in the funnel
And then you're just putting the funnel into a bottle
Whenever you see one
But you should always have your dick in the funnel
And you can direct the pee anywhere
And your penis isn't exposed
Because it's only pee coming from a funnel
Do you think a funnel is called that
Because it's a fun tunnel
Yeah I do
I think funnel is a fun tunnel
I would imagine that's why
That word is called that
Do you think the channel
In England is called the channel
Because it's a chill tunnel
That's why that's called the channel
So there's a funnel
And then there's tunnels
Why do you think they call it a tunnel
A tunnel is probably because it's a timid little channel
Yeah I think so
So the tunnel
Yeah so the tunnel is a
Channel but it's a little shy about it
So it's a timid channel
It's like a tight funnel
So like a tunnel for short
Cool
Alright let's get to a real question for Christ's sakes
It's about time
We'll call this lady Riannan because I guess
She's your daughter now
That's right
I wonder Katie if you're listening
Before you live
You might not ever meet Riannan
She might live far away
It'd be nice to invite her to a live show
If we do one near them and I can meet my goddaughter
4 year old at the live show
Alright
Don't tell me how to raise my fucking kid
I didn't tell you shit
She can go to a live show it's fun
It's a good time
We'll keep it light
We don't have to get too crass
It always gets crass
She's not 4
She's like 3 but fine
Anyway
Riannan writes
Oh
So I don't think we need to tell her how to
Dislike
Fade away from someone
You can just sort of stop talking to them
Yeah
Tell them to leave you alone
I mean especially like this guy has a
He has like an interest in her
And she doesn't want to have anything to do with them
So she should definitely not feel bad that he also
Doesn't share her TV
Yeah my question is
Would you date somebody who has TV taste
That's so
dissimilar from your own
I don't
It's sort of a
Loaded question you know
Cause yes I would date somebody
That had different TV taste
But it would kind of depend what they are
Like I know smart people
That like trashy reality
Television and even though I don't like
Watching reality TV
I'm like not gonna knock them
For having a guilty pleasure
That's right
If somebody is like
Thinks all of the
Critically acclaimed shows
That I like are stupid
And loves Charlie Sheen
I would imagine that we have
Less in common like beyond TV
You know? Yeah it's tough
Because like guilty pleasures are one thing
Like you say like the bachelor I know a lot of
Like genuinely funny nice
Interesting smart people that just
Enjoy the competition
Aspect of those shows or like
Watching it almost like as a sociological experiment
And then there's stuff like
Oh I don't get like
That's different to me than like I don't like
Succession or Game of Thrones
Or Breaking Bad or calling them
Stupid like why don't you like them
Do you not understand them or you like beyond them
I want to know what you don't like
And then liking like network TV shows
Like Big Bang Theory and 2 and a
Half Men what does that say
I think that would be more of my line than like
Realty TV shows like if somebody liked
Really broad shitty
Network comedy
If they just liked new NBC lineups
Like they just loved all of the
New network
Television sitcoms
I think I would be like more
More unnerved than if they like
Reality TV and stuff
I'd also be upset if they like
Didn't like shows like
Succession and Game of Thrones
And some of my like all time faves
The wire
I know my girlfriend loves Game of Thrones
And I found it boring
And that's like a source of tension
Like how can't you not like that show
And I'm like I don't know I guess I just didn't
Find it interesting
Yeah I mean Jill didn't like Game of Thrones either
But it wasn't really a source of tension
I mean she just doesn't like fucking dragons
Not liking Game of Thrones
I think is more understandable than not liking
Succession. Succession is just
Such an amazing show
Really great. Every episode is a
Gosh darn A
Like there's not even like a boring scene
Every episode is so
Story wise alone let alone the
Dialogue and like how everybody's acting
And what it looks like. And the performances
Oh my god yeah
Did you like the rap? The Kendall rap?
Yeah I'm wait you mean like did I
Like it like
As a musical
Piece or as like a
Story thing. As a story thing
Yeah I agree that it was
It seemed like it was maybe a little more for just
The comedy of it than for the
Story but I think it still serves the purpose
Of the story. Yeah it seemed
Like for I mean it was
Hilarious but I was like would Kendall really do
That or they just like rich people sometimes
Act crazy like this. It felt like
It was shoehorned into the his specific
Story. Yeah I don't think
I don't think it's fully
Is in Kendall's character
Especially when like last episode
He was shattered in the
Yeah. In the kitchen of like
The guy who
He like sort of accidentally
Killed's house
Yeah Arito soon he went home that night
And started writing his cipher
Right but I think that like
Story wise you know think about
Where Kendall needs to be right now. He's like
Completely
Kind of like losing control
In drugs
And off
Rails again and I think that
Seen served to show Logan
Like his kids
Don't get him but Shiv does. Yeah
It's also funny that like eight minutes after that
Wrap he walked up to this his fling
And was like you said awesome a lot
In front of my dad which means you're stupid
You embarrassed us. Yeah.
You put on a baseball jersey and wrapped
You're the bigger embarrassment dude
Yeah it's hard to imagine
Like why Kendall, like wearing
Kendall's head
It's like dad will like this. Yeah
If you like he's been
He's been his dad's
Like agent
His little fixer this entire season
And then he does a weird wrap
But I also think that it's partly because
Of him sliding off the rails
If I told you before the episode
One of his sons
For his to honor his father
Would perform a wrap
For him
Would you have guessed it was Kendall Roman
Kendall would have been my last guess
Yeah. I would have been
Torn between
Roman and Connor
And Connor did something pretty stupid
The super dad I super love you super dad
Super love you super dad
But that was like cringy and like seemingly
A little bit more in Connor's character
And Shiv would never do it at all
Right and she did not
Which tracks
But I think more
It's weird to be like we give the show
An A and now nitpick it
But hey that's television
I think more like
I was more confused why
Rea would throw this huge
Party for him in the first place
Yeah well she doesn't know him
She doesn't know him like his kids do
But that just seems like such a
Strange leap for her to go out on
Yeah a big swing
Yeah just like and too big of a swing
She's like calculating
And smart that's
What she showed in the last
In the episode before this one
And then for her to like be like
Completely tone deaf in this one
Didn't quite make a lot of sense to me
It ended up winning her the job at the end
Did you think he was going to say Rea
Or did you think he was going to say Shiv
When he took that dramatic beat
I knew he was going to say Rea because
Now they know that someone has to take the fall
Right for that other story
Right
I wish
Sure only 11% of the
Listeners actually watched the show
But it's still interesting for everybody
Yeah I bet a lot of people hated what we just did
Don't add us
Alright let's take a break we'll come back
We'll answer some more questions after this
Later

Jake do you have any?
Oh it's a lift through the fire
Mom I'm coming
Gross
We're gonna have to change that out
Because it's a little crass
And my goddaughter listens to this show
Oh my god
Godmother I'm coming
Easy
You're not even the godmother
Cool it
You're gonna have to cool it
But pop the brakes there
Do you even know who her godmother is?
No but I'm gonna have to
I guess I'm gonna have to be with her
If anything happens to Riannan's mom
So we should figure that out
We should definitely meet
Somebody tweeted at me that said
That story we had about two godparents
Having to raise a child together
Is already a movie
Interesting that makes sense
Oops
Oh yeah two things
I have unsolicited advice
But unrelated
Just because I was thinking you said
That thing about movies
And you know every once in a while you see a movie
That just would never get made today
Meet Joe Black is an example of a movie
That just doesn't make any sense
It's such a strange idea
And in the early 2000s
Or the late 90s
I guess Brad Pitt will do it
So it'll be a movie
I saw the talented Mr Ripley last night
Have you ever seen that movie?
Yeah I saw it years ago
Brad Pitt is in that one too
No it's Matt Damon and Jude Law
It's a really good movie
Where it exists in like
Modern day
Because it doesn't make any statement
Not really it's just like
A strange journey with Matt Damon
Being a weirdo
That's the log line
But it's really fun to watch because Matt Damon
And Jude Law are young and hot
Yeah that's good
Not really my unsolicited advice though
It's like a con man right
Some guy like pretends to be friends
Or pretends to be rich or something
You're just like why is this happening
Why is he suddenly being a con man
All I remember is that somebody
Got killed on a boat
Like got whacked in the face with an oar
Yeah that's
It's such a really bizarre movie
Any whom
My unsolicited advice
Is physical therapy
Whether you need it or not
Honestly yeah a little bit
If you have any pain
It's probably due to like how you move
And you should go check out a physical therapist's office
And see what's what
It's almost like regular therapy
You don't have to be suffering
To get some use out of it
Totally and I confided in my physical therapist today
And they were not interested
Yeah you opened up
I wept
For 10 straight minutes
Well that was because your back hurt
Yeah so I pulled my back
Or something
I fucked up my back this weekend
Which happens to you like
4 times a year
Yeah I believe it
So the last time it happened was in May
And before that I think it had been a year
But it's twice this year already
Yeah
And it's
I guess
It just feels like a pinch
Or like a quick pull, a pop
And then it's just like I'm laid up for 3 days
You don't know what causes it
Like
Sometimes it's really straight forward
Like I'm climbing and I pull on something
And I feel it in my back
Last in May I like lifted a kettle bell
And it just I like felt a little pop
Right
But like my back just seizes up
I go into a hunch
There's like a ton of nerve pain
It feels like spasming
Just like crippling
Blinding shooting pain
In my back
I believe
There was not any like inciting incident
But I played a lot of soccer on Sunday
Or on Saturday with my dad
And his like pick up soccer crew
Yeah they beat you up
Honestly it's a bunch of like
Some guys are as young as like
There's some like yell kids in their 20s
But most of the dudes are
Over 40
A lot of people in their 50s
I mean my dad's in his 60s
And they run circles around me
I'm not good
But I have a lot of heart
I cover a lot of ground
Because I'm bad at soccer
I have to run around a lot
I cannot be fatigued
Indifatigable or infatigable
I'll go indifatigable
I think it's indifatigable
But I was feeling
My legs were just feeling super tight
My hip flexors are super tight
And then I was on Sunday
Just trying on a pair of pants
And there was no pull
But just all of a sudden my back just started like
Locking up
And
On Monday when I
My sister came over to help me
Because I couldn't do shit
And the elevator
She was buzzing and I couldn't even get to the door
When I finally got there
I like inched my way up
I let her in
And I was in so much pain
That I couldn't move
I couldn't sit down
I couldn't even get down
All I could do was stand still
And then eventually it was like seizing so bad
That I fell on the ground
Oh my god
That's awful
Truly insane
A doctor had to come to the house
Because I couldn't leave
He put you down
He gave me a shot in my ass
Jesus
Are you sure this was a doctor?
I ordered time
Postmates and he's like
I have an idea
This is fucking insane
But hear me out
This dude gave me a shot
He was
Trying to examine me
I was on my couch
I could not turn over
It was so painful that I couldn't turn over
Did he flick the needle?
Doctors seemed to do that before sticking needles up your ass
If I know anything
I was in such blinding pain
That I don't remember
I blacked out
Did you cry?
No
I did not cry
But I yelled
Made guttural sounds
I wonder if crying would have helped
Probably
It would have been a release
I was depressed enough to cry
On Sunday when it happened
Because
I was so looking forward
To seven straight days
In New York and doing errands
And getting stuff done
Going on runs in the park
On Sunday I was limping back
To my apartment
I was dejected
Down and out
I was so sad
But anyway
This morning
Jill had made an appointment with a physical therapist
And this lady
Was like just seeing all of the ways
That I was moving
She was like put your hands on your thighs
And just like slide down bend as far as you can
Get down
I could like basically get to my mid thigh
That I couldn't bend over at all
Turning to the left and right
She was like asking me where my pain was
And then she just massaged my back
And rubbed
Put like
There was some kind of stone involved
She massaged my glutes
And I got up and all of the pain was gone
She
You cheated on her, Jill
She massaged my glutes
And the doctor gave me a shot in the ass
I ended up having a fucking
Three way
Everyone's massaging people's asses
That's why I love physical therapy
It was a fucking
Lemon party
Granted today
I was in way less pain
Today is Thursday and this happened on Sunday
So I was already
Able to like stand up
Right and walk and stuff
But like I was still very tight
And this lady I
Asked I was like if I came in here on Monday
Like when it was the height of the pain
Would you have been able to get this result
And she was like
We're closed on Monday
And then I was like if you
If we met on Monday
And she said yes
I don't know if I believe her
It's definitely worth a try if you have chronic pain
Or if you
Pull your back like I did
It would have been so sad if you were like
If I came in on Monday and did this
Would you have been able to help
And she says we're closed on Monday
And then you had no follow up questions
Very good
That was a test to see if you knew your hours
I have no follow ups
You caught me
You know what I meant
Dude
You're making fucking pain
And you're being like a smart ass about it
Speaking of smart ass
Will you inject my ass
Yeah
But I really think physical therapy
Could be the goat move
I wonder if I should do it
Do you have any chronic pain
No but I can figure something out
Like maybe if I twist an ankle
Or if like I sleep
On my like a really bad pillow
And my neck hurts and shit
Yeah that's interesting
She did say that like
Your body can get tight
When it's like doing a lot of work
To stabilize you in a way that should be
Like natural and taking minimal work
Which kind of makes sense to me
Like I feel like it all stems
From my hurt feet
And my balance is weird because of that
And I walk weird because of that
So like I'm
Putting a lot of extra pressure
On my body
To just like hold myself together
Jesus
So I'm like so now physical therapy
Is like the idea of
Retraining my body to just
Be like naturally strong
Yeah you think you'll be able to do that though
I guess you're aren't you getting foot surgery
Yeah I'm getting surgery
On November 26th
And right before surgery
You can also ask for the anesthesia to be administered
Through your ass
Look at a shot
I'm also getting my wisdom teeth out
On November 5th
I'll get the shot for that
On my ass as well
It won't numb my gums
But at least I won't know where I'm sitting
Whether it's on my ass or not
I didn't know
I feel like you would have already had to get your wisdom teeth out
Right?
You know that's the interesting thing
I have gotten my wisdom teeth out
But only on the right side
My wisdom teeth is just
Coming out
Yeah it was weird
I like
I had pain on my right side
And I went to the dentist in Connecticut
They removed my wisdom teeth
And I got like a follow up check
With another dentist
And he was like why did they only do the right side
And I was like I don't know
That's all they did
And he was like mad at them
If they put you under
They would just do everything
When did you get your other wisdom teeth out?
That was in 2013
Fun fact
That was one of me and Jill's like
Original dates
Really? I don't even remember you getting your wisdom teeth out
It happened just before we moved to New York
Really?
Yeah
You must have not complained about it
Yeah I guess I didn't
I guess complaining is sort of something I do now
Yeah
34
Yeah I'm 34 right?
No wait I'm at 33 or 34
I know you're a bed ridden so maybe you're 94
I think I'm 34
You think?
I'm honestly not sure
Of course you're 34 your birthday was in 85
Yeah I know
I know I know
No you don't I know
You just tried to change your fucking birthday on the podcast thinking I wouldn't know
I think I'm 29 dude
I don't think so
I have another question we can answer
Alright
Question made me laugh I'm a 24 year old guy
Do you know any 24 year old guys? Kyle Kuzma
Kyle Kuzma writes
Nice
I'm a 24 year old guy and I've gotten a friendship problem
I need some advice on
So I was recently moving out of my apartment and needed some help
Moving a couch
A friend of mine offered to help
However on the day of she didn't answer my call
Or text confirming if she'd still be able to help me
She texted me back three hours later
And said so sorry
My friend and I went on an unexpected
Shop unexpected shopping spree
LOL
We're about to eat but I can totally help out afterwards
If that works for you
That'd be funny if he called her bluff
Yeah just waiting on you
So whenever after shopping spree
After you eat I'll be here
At this point
I had asked a maintenance guy at my apartment
To help because I had to be out of the
Apartment on a specific day and I couldn't afford
To wait for her
It's got to move it back in
LOL
It's the next day now
And my question is
What do I do now?
Do I tell her she did a sucky thing
After all she's the one that offered to help
I wasn't even planning on asking her
Or do I just let it go
It's not like she can go back in time and help me out
PS we've only been friends for three weeks
Should that factor in at all
Weird
It's hard to know if somebody's your friend
Until it's like two years in
It's such a gradual fade
Well here's a pretty solid test
Three weeks of friendship
She offers to move a couch and then
Doesn't show up and has an abysmal excuse
She's shopping
To spree instead
It's so weird
Moving a couch requires
Just two people
So if you don't show up it's not like
Do you still need help
You were the only thing
You were the hell
You went on a shopping spree LOL
And don't tell me that you didn't look at your phone
For three hours because that would be a world
Fucking record
Nobody goes on such an insane spree
But they don't even look at their phone
Yeah if anything you look at your phone
More you're taking pictures
Sending it to people asking what they think of your spree
Yeah you're waiting in line
When you're at these stores too
That's prime phone time
Oh yeah and by the way
It's not like oh sorry I'm ready to come over
It's like I went on a shopping spree
And now I'm going to eat
And I can still totally come after
I've done two things
That I prioritized over helping you
But I also would
Two
Theories
It is the nascent stages
Of a friendship
If this is the kind of thing that you want
To establish
That you don't like to be bailed on
That you want
A dependable friend
Maybe it's worth saying
But also
It's the nascent stages of a friendship
And it's kind of weird to get into
A fight you know
Yeah you don't want to be like
You really disappointed me three weeks into the friendship
I don't know if our friendship can last the full six weeks
Now
I think I would probably just
Be a little passive aggressive
And
Like when she said
If that works for you
I would have just responded like
No I'm all good
Or something like that
Something where she would be like is everything okay
And then you have to answer yeah it's fine
I'm just a little bummed you ditched me
No you would I would even answer
I would just like be curt
Cut it off
Say you don't need any help
Imagine that she'll eventually apologize
And say that she's sorry
And if she doesn't
Then I would probably
Hold a petty grudge for a long time
We'll call that strike one
And see if she fucks up
As a friend of her again
Moving the couch is also
A very difficult thing
She never confirmed and
You didn't really follow up
I guess I need to know the timeline
I'd like to read all of the text messages here
Yeah see like was it like
Hey can you help me out October 29th
And then like nothing else happened
For three weeks it couldn't be that
Because they've only been friends for three weeks
Right I do want to know
Like the extent of the promise
Was it like a casual like yeah if you need help let me know
And then it's like day of
He's like hey I need help
Yeah
Then it's totally
She's in the right I think
Yeah it's also easy to say
Like a week and a half
And then like when push comes to shove
But I want screenshots
I want to follow up pup and I want screenshots
Alright if you're listening Kuzmo
We need more information
Not enough information to answer
I want to do a good job with this one
My god daughter is listening after all
Yeah
I want to make her proud
I don't think she is listening
I want her to have respect for her old man is all
You're not her old man
I guess that makes me old fashioned
But I think a job well done
Is a prime example
For a young one
Yeah I think that's
I think that's pretty damn important
I guess I do
Yeah
I guess I just want to be a role model is all
I know what you want
I understand what you want
I think it's a little cheesy
But I like to set an example
I like to set an example for my
My fucking kid
She doesn't know who you are
She doesn't fucking know who you are
Of course she doesn't
Her mom just listens to your podcast
Rihanna we turn the other cheek
When they go low we go high
She's not listening
You can call me anything you want
You can say I'm an idiot
But I like to set a prime example for my
You shut the fuck up you little piece of shit
Shut the fuck up
You gotta stand up for yourself too
Can I say whatever I want or can I not
Because you're getting really mad at me
I try not to lose my temper when my kids listen to the fucking podcast
You're losing an extra hard
Knowing she's listening
She's like
Rhyling you or some shit
She's
I guess I'm a little on edge because I'm a new dad
Okay
I'm sorry if I'm a little fucking
A little frazzled right now
That's to be expected
This is all sprung on me super fucking
Last minute
I don't think you should do this
Job I think it's like getting to you in a weird way
I resent that you even call
It a job it's a privilege
To raise little Rihanna
That's cool
Alright
