We'll be sending another blast out before we leave.
Just sent the first one, so grab those. They will be more expensive at the door, so get them online so you save a little cash.
And leave us a review on iTunes.
Guys, only 11 reviews away.
Oh, no.
From the soup reckoning.
I think we doubled them in like a month.
That's what I'm saying.
We need to get to 250 by the time we leave for this tour on Tuesday.
We'll definitely be happening by
Chicago. Someone's getting to
watch some soup go down.
Is that your prediction? Is you'll be eating
soup in the Chicago Mean Boys? I think so.
Yeah, I think if all signs
point to yes, you know, unless
I find some way to like go all Bane
on the fucking iTunes account and
just shut it down.
You fuck our podcast just to not eat soup.
Yeah, once it hits 249.
Don't do it.
Leave us a review.
Destroy his belly.
Give me the podcast back to the people.
If you guys like Bane voices, enjoy this episode. Oh, my God.
Or Mr. Freeze.
Yeah, someone named Muh Pit, M-U-H Pit, wrote,
Best podcast to listen to when you finish the ones you like.
That's a pretty good review.
Yeah, 239.
I think it was like 125 like six weeks ago.
Yeah, this is straight up nonsense how excited you guys got about the soup.
I know.
So go push us over the edge and push me over the edge and do that right now.
Please go follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
We've got a subreddit now, which is percolating a little bit,
and you guys are starting to talk about anime almost immediately.
Which I don't care for that, but I do like that you guys are friends.
All right.
Once we get to 250 anime threads on the subreddit,
you have to fuck another dog.
That's wrong on a lot of levels.
Yeah, I know. It's wrong that you did it the first time. I didn't fuck another dog. That's wrong on a lot of levels. Yeah, I know.
There's wrong that you did it the first time,
and wrong of you to agree with me before the show
that you're going to do it again.
We do have to figure out what the next review challenge is,
and I think it should be having Keith's mom on the show.
Yeah, I'm with that.
Let's get to soup, and then we'll discuss the logistics of that.
Yeah, yeah, we'll look into that, all that shit.
I feel like they enjoy pain the most from us. The listeners? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We'll look into that, all that shit. What else? I feel like they enjoy pain the most from us.
The listeners?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Certainly they do.
You like our pain.
If you want to send us
anything,
meboyspockets at gmail.com
for which the following
games, shit like that,
leaves a voicemail
305-804-805-6326.

for all this shit.
Yeah.

show notes.
And yeah,
enjoy this week's Just the Boys episode uh featuring uh the dueling banes
hey everybody welcome to the mean boys podcast whenas are mean Hey everybody, welcome to the Mean Boys Podcast.
When God closes a door, he locks it from the outside.
I'm Connor McSpadden.
I'm Keith Carey.
And I am...
The lead singer of a band called the Flock of Pigeons.
Because you have got like a new wave haircut, but then like a bus stop transient everything else.
Yeah, you do kind of have a new wavy haircut.
What does that mean?
Well, your mohawk grows out, but you don't spike it up.
You don't really do mohawk maintenance like a punk rock guy, so it just sort of flops over.
You're like, yeah, I've just been getting really into synth pop.
Yeah, new wave.
I bought a keytar.
New wave is like 80s music.
Keytars are actually, I like the sound of a keytar.
It's just a synthesizer, but it's just the shape.
No, I'm thinking of a sitar.
Never mind.
Yeah, I thought we weren't supposed to call Tom keytarded anymore.
Dude, Devo playing sitars.
Dude, that was good.
Must whip it.
You must whip it.
It must be whipped.
All right, well, we're 90 seconds into the podcast.
I've got an uncontrollable urge.
Tell me all about it.
I'll just grieve and shout it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mongoloid. You're a, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mongoloid.
You're a Mongoloid, Dom.
You eat any of our food, you get a bad gut feeling.
He doesn't eat the bacon.
I lost what song we were talking about.
We're talking about the band TiVo.
I've been listening to a lot of TiVo.
Yeah, TiVo, the band TiVo.
I thought that was a DVR service
from the mid-2000s.
Their whole album
would just be the same
song on a loop.
Does Tevo even exist anymore?
I think they kind of...
Yeah, yeah,
because Tevo was the original.
Yeah, I mean,
I think...
We had a Tevo.
Yeah, the concept of the DVR
I think is just like
ubiquitous.
Like, everyone has one now,
but I don't think
it's Tevo branded anymore.
Yeah, because I still
think of it as Tevo. Yeah. You know, it's still Tevo to me. It's got the brand i don't think it's tivo branded anymore yeah because i still think of it as tivo yeah you know i said it's still tivo it's got the brand name recognition
but it's like i don't think the tivo product is a thing well yeah i think the other companies like
bought it out so that i think they did i think direct tv situation where it still exists but
it doesn't really exist sure i don't know let's we could look this up right now and end this
conversation i'm because i'm curious and i think the listeners at home are as well.
So we've gone from Devo to TiVo with a detour.
I don't know.
It looks like TiVo is still kicking.
What is Hindu Devo?
Shiva?
TiVo has a Twitter.
How many Twitter followers does TiVo have?
Only 26,000.
That's not bad.
I guess TiVo, I mean, for like a brand, like Apple.
How many does Apple have?
Probably a zillion.
Yeah.
One Z.
Welcome to the White Dude Tangent Podcast.
Yeah, god damn it.
I know.
This is like everybody who's ever said, God, do we need another podcast with white guys?
This is what they imagine it is.
Dude, Apple has, get this, Apple has 1.69 million followers.
69, first of all.
Hilarious.
Tight.
Second of all, they've never tweeted.
Really?
Yeah.
I wonder what they're saving it for.
Nothing good.
For like when Steve Jobs, like Michael Jackson's back.
That's when he fucking goes through the rift.
Dude, I was disappointed by the Michael Jackson funeral because I thought for sure, like,
oh, they're playing Thriller.
It's going to be like he's going to come.
But he's like, gotcha, bitch.
Tickets on sale now, you know?
Dude, I was reading the I was I saw like a gossip thing come up.
I guess Louis C.K. was hanging out at the Comedy Cellar at the Comics Table again a couple nights ago.
He returns.
I mean, yeah.
There's a picture of him walking around
with one of the gals that was on his TV show
that came out a while back.
But he's not particularly disguised.
You'd think he'd be out wearing a very
look-at-how-not-Louis-C.K. outfit I am,
but it's just the same kind of hip glasses and a pe a p coat i mean you gotta figure with like louis it's like you'd be a fool
to think like every comic in new york is gonna like blacklist him and never speak to him again
like of course of course he's still hanging out at the cell i bet you he's done a set how would
he dress oh if he'd done a set we would have heard about it i i bet you he did one somewhere
and it's just like people in long island, too. I'm sure he has.
I don't know, man.
Maybe he showed up at an open mic somewhere in Minnesota or something.
He's got the level.
He's ubiquitous.
He could go to China to do an open mic, and people would still take pictures of him.
Yeah, maybe.
Did you see the Cosby set at that jazz club?
I heard about it.
I didn't watch it.
I saw a clip of it.
It was a tribute to some jazz musician, and Cosby showed up and jazz club? I heard about it. I didn't watch it. I saw a clip of it. And yeah, people were like,
it was a tribute to some jazz musician
and Cosby showed up and did a set.
Yeah, that's pretty...
I guess I read this thing,
I guess at some point during that,
a little kid asked,
who are you?
And he goes,
I used to be a comedian.
That's pretty funny.
But then I followed my true passion.
Ribbity, rip, rap, rape.
Ribbity, rip, rap, rape.
We may have an episode title.
We'll see if we can top it.
I don't know.
How are my boys doing?
I was late to recording.
I haven't been able to catch up with you guys very much.
I'm doing good.
Me and last week's guest, Nicole Buchanan, went to a concert last night.
Shout out to listener Crespo Betalon who turned me on to a band called Not Half Bad.
They played in L.A. and they're real fucking good.
Dude, how am I the one watching Deep Space Nine but you said something called Crespo Betalon, who turned me on to a band called Not Half Bad. They played in L.A. and they're real fucking good. Dude, how am I
the one watching Deep Space Nine, but you said something
called Crespo Betalon? Crespo
Betalon. That's for sure. We're like, Cardassian
refugees are on Crespo Betalon. We've got to
set aside our differences to save them. I don't
know. But we went, we got super hammered.
We came back here, we rewatched that Dukes of Hazzard
movie with Johnny Knoxville. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, and just ate a bunch of Pepperidge Farm cookies and
passed out. Oh, nice, man.
But it was funny because we woke up in the morning.
What Pepperidge Farm cookie?
Milano's?
I thought they made sausage.
Who makes the sausage?
You're thinking of a sausage farm.
Hillshire Farm?
Hillshire Farm.
Okay, sausage farm.
I'm looking that up.
They got bought by Teva.
Yeah, what is the sausage farm called?
Yeah, Hickory Farms.
Hickory Farms.
How do I not know that?
We've talked about them on this show. Dude, that's the dystopian book about Keith's Yeah. Hickory Farm. Hickory Farm. How do I not know that? We've talked about them on this show.
Dude, that's the dystopian book about Keith's life.
It's Hickory Farm.
Some sausages are created more equal than others.
It's a takedown of capitalism.
But it was funny because she slept in my room.
I went and slept in Tom's fucking kitchen hovel.
By the way, I slept in your kitchen hovel last night.
Thanks for telling me.
Yeah, I saw you sleep.
I woke up this morning and I was like, oh, that's weird.
Tom looks fatter.
Like she fell asleep
in my bed.
I was laying on the floor
and I'm like,
I cannot sleep
on my tile floor.
So I just went up there
and it was like this morning
I had to let her out
of the gate
and it was super awkward
because it's like,
I'm walking Nicole out
and nothing happened.
Yeah.
But like Ramsey and Paige
are just out there
and it's this awkward like,
okay,
no one wants to address it.
It looks like we might have fucked
and then Ramsey goes,
I know you guys didn't fuck
so don't even worry about it. Oh oh cool thanks bro no it's good i think
i'm always of the opinion just like if there's like a little bit of like energy it's just like
just say it yeah totally that was my thing too but like i didn't unless you got if you get if
you guys had fucked and it was like a secret then you would definitely want to be like all right
well i'll see you later pal well i've. Well, I've had that happen before where somebody was like making joke like, ah, you guys are
fucking.
Was it me?
It sure was.
I was trying to keep that heck of a because that's still kind of a secret.
But yeah, it's just like, ah, you guys are going to fuck.
And we're like, hey, shut up, Tom.
Dude, the best one ever is when I was wasted.
To be fair, it's not like you were drunkenly shouting that in an industry event obi obi was kind of dating around for a while and uh no no he brings he brings this
one girl outside she's leaving after they've presumably fucked you know and uh tom's like
oh i i've met you before and then the girl like very quickly and does the math and has like oh
so obi has a type all right and i and i and i i wingman pretty well because then she was like uh i don't
think so and no you were here last time well here's the thing no one in the world has ever
forgotten meeting you like yeah yeah that's a good point and so i immediately just like just
like i played you know just because it was an awkward situation like i just was immediately
pulled out eight of my my all-time classic one-liners on how dumb tom is yeah and uh and i
i think i sort of smoothed
it over but uh yeah that was that was pretty great tom because it was just so loud i was so
adamant about it too because you're like i don't think so i was like nah you've been here before
any situation where tom has to like play it cool yeah is never good dude yeah i could just see
like we're like we thought that was her we're at a diner with the mob you know and i'm like and
you're like why are you kicking me under the table?
Why does this note say shoot them?
What is shoot him?
Get fucking shoot him.
Yeah, never say anything to someone your friend is fucking with any degree of certainty.
Just keep it loose and keep it vague because you don't want to box yourself in.
Here's the thing.
I have no filter.
I don't know if that's been noticeable yet.
I think a thing, and before I'm done thinking the thing, I've said the thing, and then the next thing I haven't said.
You say the word thing again, I'm going to slap you in the mouth.
Everything you say is just kind of like conversational cookie dough.
It's good, but it's not a cookie.
It's not finished.
If I deal with too much of it, I get sick.
You don't like cookies?
No.
Compared to cookie dough, I like cookies cookies but not as much as cookie dough
I like cookie dough
over cookies
let me correct
I love cookies
but they're shit
compared to cookies
it's a toss up
because some days
I'm like
give me that dough
and some days
I'm like
I like a nice
hot soft cookie
there was a chunk
of time
where my mom
was buying this
cookie dough
that came in a bucket
it was a bucket
of chocolate
and I just
took it into the
living room
and just watched cartoons and ate it with an ice cream scoop.
That's how you do it.
That was at peak fat.
That was a real rough time.
I feel like I've seen the bucket of dough.
Oh, the dough bucket.
It's got to have some kind of insulting name.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sack of dough.
My cousin got engaged.
Oh, cool.
Congratulations, man.
Yeah, I just found out.
That's me to him and his sack of dough to be.
So, guys, look forward to photoshopping Tom in an ill-fitting tuxedo very soon.
I already have these photos.
I didn't say I was invited to the wedding.
But, yeah, I have photos of me in them.
Why did you say that, like, ominously?
Like, fuck, you know me and weddings, you know?
Yeah, no, I was a groomsman, and I didn't fuck up.
You know, I've only been to one wedding.
Everyone else is telling the story of, oh, God, Tom was an usher, and he fucked up so bad.
He didn't know where to go when the wedding started, so he just went and stood next to the bride.
Those were the other weddings.
Just up there shuffling a little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
I just got to see if there's any Pokemon in here.
Don't mind me.
I got to throw the flowers back at the girl.
We have, like, a snowball fight with petals.
No, I've only throw the flowers back at the girl. Is that we have like a snowball fight with petals? No, I've only been the one.
You throw the bouquet and you like try to like jump in front and take it like a fucking
secret service.
No.
You dropped your flowers here, man.
Yeah.
I saved you from pollen.
Will you go to prom with me?
I've only been the one wedding and it was my parents.
That's because I am a bastard.
Wait, are you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
No, my. Congratulations. Wait, what? Oh, are you? I didn't know that. Yeah, no, my parents... Congratulations.
Thanks, man.
My parents are just so chill
that I think my mom
told me this story.
She's like, yeah,
when your dad proposed,
it was just like...
It was basically like
a week after.
It was like, oh, yeah,
we got to be married
if you want to be
in my health insurance.
And then he was just like,
oh, I guess we should do this.
Yeah, they just don't really
think about that kind of shit.
I dig that.
I don't remember it, though.
You know, I don't remember being at the wedding.
There's pictures of me in a little tuxedo.
I supposedly have the ring bearer.
I have no knowledge of this or recollection of it.
I've been to a lot of my mom's weddings.
Yeah, your mom's getting married again.
Oh, she got married again.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
Did I say this on the bonus content?
You said this on the bonus content.
Oh, yeah.
My mom got married for the fifth time in a parking garage in Laughlin, Nevada.
Dude, your mom is the Tom Brady of marrying Nazis.
That's the version of the story that I heard, because my mom texted me this a week and a
half after the fact, as like a by the way in another conversation we were having.
And she calls me, and she goes, okay, so here's what happened.
We were riding our motorcycles to Vegas.
Some stuff happened.
We got in a fight.
Glenn called a guy, and now we're married.
So that's her.
Your new stepdad's name is Glenn.
He is not my stepdad.
I'm a 29-year-old man.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't mean...
Sorry.
Stepfather.
I don't know what...
I mean, what do you call him, then?
I call him Glenn, dude.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't...
What do you want me to call him?
Papa?
Dad?
Yeah.
You should just fuck with him and call him Dad.
Yeah, yeah.
Congrats to you the
most recent to pipe up my mother like that we know of yeah there you go no i i remember the
best wedding i went to with my mom's was when uh her second wedding i was like i think it was six
for this one okay and i was with your mom and your dad didn't marry what's up no my mom and my dad
never got married she married another guy right after she broke up with my dad and was married to him for
like six months, but then he turned out to be like a psychopath.
Oh, did you ever meet this cat?
No, we're Facebook friends, but...
Oh, nice.
I don't know how that happened exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
But no, the second wedding, it was basically like they were getting married at Old World
Village in Huntington Beach.
Oh, Jesus.
At the church.
We were at the OC Dirt, man.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's like you don't want to get married where there used to be a Rico Fisher show.
And ironically enough, this is not the Nazi one.
Oh, wow.
And basically, my mom showed up.
Everybody else was there.
I was with the groom, my stepdad, and the groomsmen, who were all thwacked on meth.
Okay.
We showed up super late.
So I remember speeding to the church.
I was in the back
of a pickup truck
with the cover on,
just getting rattled around
near a dog.
I was wearing a plaid tuxedo
with safety pins
holding the corsage on.
I looked pretty fucking cool.
That's nice, yeah.
I just remember
just getting scooped up
under someone's arm
and just thrown into a church
so we could do the wedding late.
Man, fucking,
they're just making
Keith martinis.
Yeah. How about you, Tom? You've had a little bit of could do the wedding late. Man, fucking they're just making Keith martinis. Yeah.
How about you, Tom? You've had a little bit of
drama lately with the insurance. Can you
talk about that? That is the last
thing in the fucking world I want to talk about.
Okay.
I don't know why.
Well, maybe we got a lawyer that listens or something
that can help you out.
It's just insurance.
My insurance is supposed to cover my hospital bill.
It says I have a different insurance that doesn't exist,
and so it's been a process trying to prove...
Yeah, you have Van Damme insurance.
Trying to prove to them that the insurance they say I have
does not exist, and it's been a real big fucking deal,
and I might just go in debt because of ghost insurance uh so that's
i only i i only i only had enough to cover two things so i got volcano and ghost
and look i did specters have not been an issue the pancreas however quite troublesome i mean
look you can't sell me ghost insurance and tell me afterwards it doesn't cover poltergeists
i'm sorry dude yeah but but yeah no i i finally like lost my cool and started yelling yesterday and i was like i
did now they're afraid of me you know so if i have a beetlejuice incident is that covered by
the ghost insurance because he is the ghost with the most but he's technically more of a spookable
all right that sounds like a shitty ghost app like spookable. All right. That sounds like a shitty ghost app.
Spookable?
You would log all of your ghost encounters on the spookable app.
No, you're thinking of Boo-Pon.
Yeah, spookable is like the...
Oh, my God.
Alternative version.
You're thinking of Boo-Burr.
Oh, no, that's Spectre, but with no E, just Spectre.
Spookable is like that when you send your ghost to school and he needs a lunch, right?
That would be spookable.
Like a pre-packaged ghost?
Like a Lunchable.
That's what he would find.
It was a swing and a miss.
Ghostmates? Strike one.
Come on, we got like ten. Boober.
I already did Boober. Oh, shit. Boober eats.

Family, because someone's getting married.
Oh, you get family group text?
Not usually.
How many unread texts do I have right now? This was driving Keith insane the other day.
Okay, so right now I have 23 unheard voicemails.
I want to stab you in the neck.

91 unread texts and 9 unread Facebook messages.
What?
What if someone's trying to book you for a show or something?
Yeah.
Then I hope that they told me in person.
Tom finds out he was offered Conan in 2016.
I will say, hang on, here's the beauty.
Not a stand-up spot, the hosting spot.
Here's the beauty.
No unread emails on my Gmail account.
I will say I have a hostile amount of unread emails on my Gmail account. I will say I have a hostile amount of unread emails.
Well, on my other email account, I have 1,672 unread messages.
But the other one...
I have 3,929 unread emails.
Oh, you guys, 30,930.
Oh, my God.
I recently went and deleted it because Gmail has the tabs for promotion and social.
And they're just bullshit emails.
So I just went and deleted all those the other day because I was running out of space on my Google Drive.
So I'm doing better than I was, believe it or not.
Damn, 30,000.
Yeah, 30K, baby.
That's fucking awesome.
Dude, I remember the first time I checked my message requests or my filtered messages,
it was all just people who were like, I saw you last night, and I don't usually like comedy,
but I really felt connected to what you do, and it was really cool and i want you to encourage you to keep up and
doing what you're doing it's just in 2014 and i'm just like i feel like such an asshole because
there's like a few like bookings and a few like people that are just like well it was really
great what you did and i'm just like oh fuck i'm sorry yeah yeah i have no idea if i have those i
could show you but i i don't want to i don't want to help you. That's fine. Oh, dude, Tom's filtered messages.
I got a great filtered
message the other day from a lady who was just like,
the Japanese are trying
to destroy white people. And there was like a
whole big essay about it,
and they're trying to get me to join something.
And I'm like, oh, good. I'm glad I'm showing up
on this list of potential clients.
Jesus Christ.
Well, gang, I think we're all fired up.
You guys want to get another Mexican joke off?
Sure, baby.
No one seems terribly excited about it today.
No, we're having a good chat.
I'll take us away.
Elon Musk deactivated the Facebook accounts
for SpaceX and Tesla.
The decision was in response
to Mark Zuckerberg's data mining scandal
and people not understanding him at his high school.
He's an edgy teen.
I would delete the Facebook pretty often in my youth.
Yeah, I never did.
I've deactivated probably six or seven times.
You didn't even get a Facebook really until like post high school.
I remember when I was getting on Facebook, I remember looking at your profile because you're one of the people I knew from comedy or whatever.
I was like, what's this?
Do I need to have a Facebook for comedy or whatever?
What's this book of faces?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
After being banned by YouTube,
gun bloggers are now posting
their videos on Pornhub.
So look out for Brazzers'
newest series,
The Bang Bang Bang Bus.
That's a Bang Bros imprint.
What the fuck?
Yeah, I didn't want to spoil Bang.
Oh, yeah.
I should have just done
Bang Bang Bang Bros.
I got a showdown for that
in a minute.
Okay. A school district in done bang, bang, bang, bros. I got a showdown for that in a minute. Okay.
A school district in northern Philadelphia, born and raised, is arming the teachers with
buckets of rocks in case of school shootings.
Palestine is annoyed at the first instance of having their culture appropriated.
Did you see that?
Yeah, this is in case there's a time vortex and we
meet a gay person.
They literally are just like,
yeah, we hang a bucket of rocks
so if shit goes down. And the guy
they interviewed who's like the governor or whatever,
he's just like, well, some of our students got strong arms
so we like those odds. That's a real
quote. I'm like, holy fucking shit.
All our children are going to die.
And the fucked up thing? Probably better than nothing. I mean, here's the thing. It's like not holy fucking shit. All our children are going to die. And the fucked up thing?
Probably better than nothing.
I mean, here's the thing.
It's like not a bad plan if you were a room full of like four guys who are high, who are like, okay, if Chad had a gun, like, what could we have here that's not a gun to stop?
But this is a school.
This is a federally approved bucket of rocks.
Somebody spent my tax money to pick the best rock to throw at a school shooter.
I would love to be the rock guy for a school.
Who is acquiring these rocks?
Yeah, I just get a pickup truck, and I show up with, like, eight buckets at a time, and I'm just loading them into classrooms.
I get a little, like, decorative hook.
You could put, like, stickers on the bucket so it's got, like, a smiley face.
It's the opposite of the ice cream man. You just have a truck and whenever
it shows up, kids get sad.
This boy is creeping death by Metallica.
I'm just imagining the thing
shedding into buckets.
You all laughed at me.
From the Fantastic Four?
Man, I love the thing, dude. He's my favorite
comic book character. This thing rips. He's just a grumpy
old Jew. Yeah, yeah. Alright, guys.
YouTube's new policies
have driven gun vloggers
to Pornhub.
They're going to be
really disappointed
when they find out
they're buying
the wrong kind of gun oil.
Ah, that's a good
gay lube reference.
Yeah, man.
Fucking, that's the gay one.
Yeah, it is the gayest
of the lubes.
Have you ever used gun oil?
No.
My God, dude.
I've very rarely used lube.
Dude, this thing will
turn your dick supersonic.
Like, it is... Does it have, like, pep-up properties in it or is it just, like, a slippery... It's like, have you ever seen that movie Christmas Vacation? rarely used lube. Dude, this thing will turn your dick supersonic.
Does it have pep-up properties in it, or is it just
a slippery thing? Have you ever seen that movie Christmas Vacation?
Yes. You remember when they spray
the industrial lubricant on the sled and it goes
real fast and catches on fire? Like that for
your dick.
It's like a Wile E. Coyote product for your dick.
Yeah, this thing is made to... The Acme Corporation.
Let your dick sneak undetected into an
asshole like the Asian dude in the Ocean's Eleven movie.
Hell yeah.
Wow.
A poster for the upcoming Avengers attraction at Disneyland contains a hidden image of an erect penis.
Marvel says they haven't had this big of a dick on a poster since they fired Edward Norton.
Oh, man.
Is Edward Norton an asshole?
Edward Norton is a renowned asshole.
I didn't know that.
I always thought he had a good rep. That's why he got fired.
He was just a dick.
Oh, I thought he was just like, I'm too cool to be the Hulk.
No, no, no.
He wanted to do it.
And they were like, nah, fuck you, dude.
And gave it to Mark Ruffalo.
Mark Ruffalo did a great job.
Yeah, Mark Ruffalo kept his mouth shut and did the work.
That's what he did.
Yeah.
I actually like that Ed Norton Hulk movie.
I do, too.
I actually really like Edward Norton.
He's a great actor.
He's one of my favorite actors.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a good actor, good director.
Just profoundly annoying. What do you direct? Norton. He's a great actor. He's one of my favorite actors. Good actor, good director. Just profoundly annoying.
Here's the problem I have as a white guy.
As people, I assume I like Fight Club.
I understand why it's offensive to walk up to a Mexican person at a taco truck and be
like, oh, yeah, yo quiero un burrito para llevar.
And they're like, okay, so you want one burrito.
It's like when people walk up to me, so it's like, yeah, you know, in Fight Club.
You love Fight Club.
And I'm just like, I like it not as much as you think I like it
I like it
I'm not
I don't have any
I don't have a poster
I've had to distance myself
from Fight Club
just because I'm like
oh man
the lame-os ruined it
yeah have you read
Fight Club 2
the comic book
I read the first issue
and was filled with
blinding rage
at how bad it was
oh yeah
I kind of figured
it'd be like a
Watchmen prequel type
it was straight up
and Polonok it, so it should
have been good. And I was just like, oh, even you don't get what
you were doing. Yeah. I had
a tweet a long time ago about how I just like going
around and telling bros that the guy that wrote Fight Club
was gay.
And it does make the whole thing make more
sense. Oh, how so? Is it a
gay movie? Oh, it's a profoundly
gay movie. I guess so. Well, the whole thing
is about toxic masculinity and how dudes are so worried about being feminized that they
just turn into like these shitty monsters because it's the only way they know how to be a man that
is kind of funny that the people that like it are completely missing that point yeah 100 it's you
know but then but then you're that guy who's like you don't get fight club i get fight club yeah
and then you're an even bigger cunt nothing Nothing worse than having the actually take on a piece of media like that.
Not since My Little Pony has there been a piece of media so difficult to enjoy without
seeming like a piece of shit.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Wait.
Remember this podcast.
Problem enjoying My Little Pony.
We got a review from a lady who's like, I'm a black feminist, so I shouldn't like this,
but I guess I'm here.
And I was like, oh, okay.
Well, we love you.
Thank you. Yeah, thanks, dude. Well, we love you. Thank you.
Yeah, thanks, dude.
Oops.
Sorry.
Thanks, Nick.
No.
Oh, boy.
People are marching against gun violence this weekend.
This weekend?
You reckon this weekend?
You guys know the weekend.
We go round up a march.
With all the protests Trump has gotten
between him being president
and gun violence,
he's gotten more young people to exercise
than Michelle Obama ever could.
That's actually a pretty good joke.
I do like you delivered it in the Tom Goddard's
Bill Maher voice.
That is a real good joke if you just did it.
No, I like Tom is doing this real conversational thing with his jokes now.
Yeah, because it gives me more time to figure out what I wrote.
Well, it's funny because it makes sense when you do it with a story like this,
where it's like, oh, this is a thing people would have a conversation with,
when you're like, yeah, so this guy in Oklahoma, you know Oklahoma,
he killed his kid with a shovel.
You know shovels. Yeah, shovels, use them for digging. I like a hoe, but, you know Oklahoma, he killed his kid with a shovel. You know shovels.
Yeah, shovels.
He used them for digging.
Not like a hoe, but, you know, to each their own.
Anyway, why is that kid an asshole?
I didn't write the joke.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, guys.
A man being held after threats of suicide had his toes sucked by a cop.
Tom Goss remarked, oh, yeah, but I got to steal spoons.
Great.
You never got your toes sucked in the psych ward?
No.
No.
No.
Yeah.
Craig's listening.
I'm sorry.
No, you're good.
I'm sorry.
I have a hot riff.
I'm trying to think.
What else?
I almost ate pussy.
What did I get sucked?
Wait.
Sorry.
What did you just say?
You almost ate pussy in the psych ward.
Yeah.
I almost lost my virginity in the psych ward.
But?
But the girl changed her mind
very aggressively at the last second, so I was like,
okay, goodbye. Yeah, they'll do that
in the psych ward. Yeah.
No, it was...
I was a rookie. I was flimmy flammy in the psych ward.
Man, she was going to fuck Tom. She must have been crazy.
Doi, doi, doi, doi, doi.
You were a rookie. That's the best way to say it.
I'm a sex rookie. I'm a virgin.
Sex rookie.
Sex rookie. And I don't know why she's a rookie. Katana's on the shelf. Can'm a virgin. Sex rookie. Yeah, and then...
Sex rookie.
And I don't know why she...
Katana's on the shelf.
Can't get no nookie.
No.
I don't do a brass bunch.
No, she was nuts.
Like, afterwards, like, the nurses knew something was up, and he was like, yeah, don't fuck
her.
Yeah, good call.
There's no one you should fuck in the psych ward.
Yeah, no, that's a fair statement.
I know.
I was just 18 and horny.
I get it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. fair statement. I was just 18 and horny. I get it.
Yeah, for sure.
Locked up.
I would have done it, too.
You can't try to fuck people
in a psych ward from the outside.
Yeah, through a wall.
Yeah, yeah.
Just Kool-Aid man
into the psych ward.
Kool-Aid man into the psych ward.
I hear this is where you keep
the broken white women.
Oh, yeah!
As it happens,
they're a favorite of mine. Come on, you fragile and wet. Oh, yeah. As it happens, they're a favorite of mine.
Come on, ye fragile and wet.
Yeah, baby.
Craigslist has shut down its casual
encounters section. Reporters asked the
section's most prolific user for comment,
but he simply gazed sadly into the distance and
said, now is not the time.
Football player Michael
Bennett is facing up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine for injuring a 66-year-old woman while rushing the field during the Super Bowl.
Most people are just really proud that the NFL is finally helping old people who got injured playing football.
You guys know football, right?
You guys know football?
It just seems so funny to be like 10 years and 10,000.
The money seems so inconsequential compared to a decade in prison.
Yeah, and it's like part of me is getting all conspiracy on this because
No, because he's one of the guys who led the let's kneel during the anthem thing.
Oh, so you think they're framing him up?
Yeah, because fucking Ray Lewis shot a guy
and they didn't do shit.
Like, but he rushed the field
at a football game
and some old lady
with some 66-year-old,
my hip, like,
it makes no sense to me.
Interesting.
Okay.
And they deflated
that old woman.
Didn't understand
any of that,
if I'm being honest.
That's okay. You didn't have to. Do your job. Okay. Headline deflated that old woman. Didn't understand any of that, if I'm being honest. That's okay.
You didn't have to.
Do your joke.
Okay.
Headline.
United Airlines pays man $10,000 to get off plane.
Damn.
I don't know how to jerk off a 747.
That was the joke.
I don't want to jerk off a plane.
That's it.
Yeah.
I just, yeah.
I liked it.
A mechanical T-Rex exploded, setting fire to a prehistoric themed attraction.
Authorities say they haven't seen this many flaming dinosaurs since the Palm Springs Pride Parade.
Old and gay.
Old and gay, dude.
Hell yeah.
A sheriff bought a beach home.
A sheriff this weekend.
Like from Toy Story.
Not the Buzz Lightyear.
The other guy.
A sheriff, you know, and it costs more money to import goods
from a certain nation.
A non-space doll sheriff
bought a beach home
with funds
supposed to go to inmates.
When questioned,
the sheriff started,
stated,
not started,
the sheriff stated,
let them eat rape.
Okay.
Did I add the funds were supposed to be for their food?
Because that would have helped.
You didn't add that.
Basically, you added so many words.
You said the word sheriff about ten times.
Sheriff.
All right, guys.
A San Francisco airport terminal is set to be renamed after Harvey Milk.
Damn, that must be where they jerk off all the planes.
What?
A satellite shaped like a giant disco ball is expected to reenter the Earth's atmosphere this week.
NASA says it may crash land in California, causing an extinction event at the Palm Springs Pride Parade.
We both double-tapped.
Mine's a different thing.
So a deputy. You know deputies. A woman. One of a different thing. So a deputy.
You know deputies.
A woman.
One of those vagina fellas.
A woman has made the news for getting her wedding
day parking spot she prayed for.
God responded, whoops,
that was the wedding day's parking spot
email. I meant to respond to the
bleeding make Parkland stop email.
Enjoy your wedding, dick man.
What?
I just love the idea of a guy being like, oh, I granted the wrong word.
Yeah, no, I get the idea.
It was just, that was word soup.
I gotta be honest, I didn't get the idea.
That joke was like the verbal equivalent of like a kid knocking a vase over and then trying to glue it back together and hoping their mom won't notice but like it's
clearly like upside down and not put together right thank you yeah that joke was a brady bunch
episode yeah it's the one where the tiki god cursed you to be fucking retarded the tiki god
it's tito for rocket tower what are you talking about? The tardigod? He said retard something.
Did you say retard?
I said retarded.
Oh, okay.
The Mean Boys.
Which is a variation.
Tom just sneezed twice.
Objection, Your Honor.
The Mean Boys will be right back.
Twisted Nerve Productions
is America's number one name in high octane
regional holiday events
from the infamous Santa's Village 2017
to our annual fall hip hop festival
Thanksgiving
Twisted Nerve knows how you want to celebrate the holidays
with two barrels full of seasonal
cheer and festivity crammed in your
joy hole
but we're locked, and pulling the trigger
because Twisted Nerve is taking over the Orange County Fairgrounds
to bring you Sunday Bloody Easter Sunday.
That's right.
It's everyone's fifth favorite Jesus-related holiday.
And we're coming in with a party so off the fucking rails
that Christ will be risen and you will be jizzed.
This event is being thrown in conjunction with the Catholic Archdiocese of Newport Beach and Psychopathic Records.
Neither of them knew the other one was involved, and no one's that stoked about it.
It's an outdoor springtime jamboree that will steal your car and eat your dog.
We've got an Easter egg painting station.
That's right, Egglands Best are here, and they're round, ready, and begging for you to blast a load of weird vinegar stuff all over their hot, nasty shelves.
Where else can you put a tribal tramp stamp on a fucking egg?
Nowhere. That's where.
Get a picture with the Easter Bunny.
But don't let your mom near him because it's Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee in the suit.
He's here. He's working off a DUI.
And he's ready to pipe up some madres.
Hungry? We thought so.
Throw your fat family in the back of your car and drive 95
miles an hour on the wrong side of the freeway
because the first hundred people here
get a free handful of loose
jelly beans. That's right.
We bought a 50 ton drum of jelly bellies
at a discount rate. Why?
Because one of the Malaysian kids that works at the factory
drowned in it. He passed away
and now he's passing the savings on to you.
You want to know what flavor they are? Ask someone who cares, pussy lips. factory drowned in it. He passed away, and now he's passing the savings on to you. You
want to know what flavor they are? Ask someone who cares, pussy lips. You're getting them
unlabeled, disorganized, and ready to get gang-fucked by your teeth. Oh, did you think
that was the only sweet treat you were going to get today? Well, think again, dork, because
it wouldn't be Easter without motherfucking Peeps. That's right, they're marshmallows,
they're birds, they're technically edible, and we've got That's right. They're marshmallows. They're birds. They're technically edible.
And we've got every fucking color.
They're gonna be there.
Yellow.
Pink.
Purple.
Orange.
Brown.
I think they do a chocolate one or something.
And blue.
But save room because at noon it's time for the Twisted Nerve to the Donkey Brunch.
We glazed a ham and full throttle energy drink.
Left it in a hot room
for three days,
made it listen to that
first Pennywise album,
and when we came back,
it was the size
of a Volkswagen.
Move over, Jesus,
because you're not
the only thing
that came out of a cave
with magic powers
that's gonna piss off
a lot of Jews.
And all your favorite sides
are getting in on the action.
Mashed potatoes,
mac and cheese,
yams,
looking for green beans?
Look in a graveyard. We've got more
family-friendly activities than you can shake a bag
of broken glass at. Tug of war,
hide-and-go-seek, and the three-legged
race. That's when Tommy Lee
takes a smoke break from being the Easter Bunny
and starts dragging his big, horny retard
dick through the park, looking for moms
to pork. And of course, the reason
you came. The motherfucking
Easter egg, huh? That's right.
We're pulling out all the stops. And this
year we've got more dropped eggs than a bathroom
trash can at Lilith Fair.
You think you can find these eggs? Well, break out
the morphine, Sherlock, because this
shit is airtight. We hired the guy
who killed Jimmy Hoffa to hide them all by hand.
When he was done, we killed him and
his family so no one could figure out where they were.
Nobody on Earth knows where these eggs are.
Solve this riddle and win yourself a $7 gift card to Rally's.
That's right, Rally's, because you live somewhere terrible,
and the Sonic is closed.
Sunday, bloody Easter Sunday.
Oh, my goodness.
The Mean Boys podcast is back.
With a quick reminder that we are going on tour in the month of April.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, we're going to be in Milwaukee, Chicago, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Detroit, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York motherfucking city.
Show me your places.
I don't know why you're doing this voice.
You guys are already starting to buy tickets.
We're stoked.
Keep buying them.
We are excited to come see you guys.
Everything is on sale except for Cleveland right now.
Yep, it's all on MeanBoysPodcast.com.
And get them online because they're more expensive at the door.
So we're looking forward to seeing you guys and pressing the flesh.
And really just finding out what you guys look like is very exciting.
And then realizing, oh, we were right.
I got a picture every crowd is going to look like the bar from Star Wars.
I feel like there's going to be like, is that guy?
That guy has tentacles that he's surgically attached to.
I was imagining like dangerous Teletubbies, but that also.
Dude, that's what you are.
That's your album.
Stabby Wabby.
Change your Twitter bio to dangerous Teletubby right now.
I might have to do that.
That's the best thing you've ever said, Tom.
Fucking shit. That is spot on. Oh, man. That's the best thing you've ever said, Tom. Fucking shit.
That is spot on.
Oh, man.
Well, we're back with another installment of a game we played a couple months ago suggested
by a fan of the show, Paige Wesley.
This is called Lost in Translation.
The way this game works, I give you the foreign translated name of an American movie and then
some options.
You guys have to figure out which movie got translated to this.
And there is like, I was doing a lot of research for this.
Every single movie
has an insane fucking name.
Overseas. Like, Japan and China
particularly cannot get their shit together in terms
of understanding what our shit means.
Pokemon's the same in both countries.
It's because Pokemon came from Japan.
Coming over here, it seems fine.
But we send shit over. Well, let's just start
and I'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Number one, rather, Satan Female Soldier. Well, let's just start, and I'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about. A, or number one, rather, Satan Female Soldier.
Oh, shit.
Which movie is called Satan Female Soldier?
Is it A, G.I. Jane, B, Kill Bill Volume 1, C, Mulan, or D, Katy Perry, Part of Me 3D?
Fuck.
It was Satan Kill Boy Soldier?
Nope.
Satan Female Soldier. Soldier? Nope. Satan, Female Soldier.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
None of those movies particularly satanic.
I don't know how many Jews Katy Perry had in the production.
I mean, they're always wearing hats, presumably to hide the horns.
Good thing we haven't dug back into the same anti-Semitism hole we were in last episode.
I was not anti-Semitic.
Tom, name ten more Jews.
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, dude, Tom, name ten Jews.
It's an all-timer.
You could barely do it.
You were like, ah, shit.
Half a Lenny Kravitz, that's three.
I don't think about people.
What?
Like, in general, I'm not like, oh, the Jews walking by.
I'm just like, that's dangerous.
The dangerous Teletubby version of Tom, the little TV on his stomach is just playing Birth of a Nation.
Yeah, I don't either, really.
I don't really think of like.
Like, if you were to ask me, name 10 black people, I'd be like, the other half of Lenny Kravitz?
Like, I wouldn't be able to do that.
I said name ten
white people. It'd still be difficult for me. I'm just like,
ah, fuck. What is...
Name ten numbers.
Okay.
Ichi, ni, san, shi, go,
roku, shi, to, hachi, kyu,
ju. Wait, is ju
ten? Yes.
Oh, shit.
That's why I didn't...
Name 10 Jews.
The number 10 in Japanese.
Boom, I'm done.
Checkmate.
Yeah.
Oh, boom.
The fucking loophole, bitch.
All right, I'm going to guess that it's Kill Bill.
Okay.
I'm also thinking...
What was it?
G.I. Jane?
G.I. Jane, Kill Bill Volume 1, Mulan, or Katy Perry, Part of Me 3D.
I'm going to go Mulan.
Okay, the correct answer, A, G.I. Jane.
Really?
Yeah.
What I've got to figure is that China is not super stoked on a lady in the military.
Yeah, that sounds right.
So that's something they whip in.
All right, number two, slightly pregnant.
What?
The role of a woman in China is to die on a porch because no one's held her for long enough.
Wait, slightly pregnant?
Slightly pregnant.
Is it the movie Knocked Up?
A, Juno.
B, Knocked Up.
C, Rosemary's Baby.
Or D, Alien.
What's Rosemary's Baby about?
Is there an abortion?
It's about a lady who gets pregnant with the Antichrist.
Okay, slightly pregnant.
It's got to be A or B.
Yeah, that's too fun-loving and fun to be like the alien.
That's like a state that only Keith's mother can relate to.
It's like I was slightly pregnant.
Pregnant adjacent.
Yeah, well, thankfully I got the 10th stamp on my Flame Broiler rewards card, so I get a free one.
I got utero, but I'm not, like, in utero.
I love that one.
I'm going to say Juno.
Okay.
I'm going to say knocked up.
I'm going to say a loose collection of vowels.
Yeah, that's how I work.
I'm going to say something eventually, but for now, nonsense.
The great dancers be knocked up.
Tom gets the point.
First one on the board.
Stop dabbing.
Don't you dare dab on my fucking podcast, Tom.
Our podcast, Tom.
Number three is one of my favorite ones.
Point of order.
Number three, a super tough kangaroo.
Yes, yes yes yes
Tommy's clapping like a special needs child
you're clapping like a symbol monkey
like an excited seal
yes yes yes yes
which of these movies is known in Japan
as a super tough kangaroo
is it A. Mr. Mom
B. Creed
C. Crocodile
D. The Pacifier?
These were not the movies I was expecting.
What were you?
Those are the four kangaroo films.
The Left Off Kangaroo Jack.
Yeah, there's nothing to do with a kangaroo.
Oh, no, there's a kangaroo in The Pacifier.
Is there?
I think so.
I've never seen The Pacifier.
I won't spoil it, but I'm going to Google The Pac...
I just know for some reason that there's a kangaroo in that movie.
Wait, you...
What?
I don't know.
Let me look it up.
There's no space kangaroos.
Why would you watch this movie?
All right, I'm looking it up, and I realize I'm completely incorrect.
Oh, you're thinking of Kangaroo 2, Hyperoo.
I'm looking at it.
There's absolutely no evidence That there is a kangaroo
In the movie
The Passive Hour
Wait
Come on man
I felt like there was
Can we hear
The options again
For a super tough kangaroo
A. Mr. Mom
B.
And what is that about
Mr. Mom is a movie
With Michael Keaton
Where he has to stay home
And be a mom
Is he Australian
Which was a
Crazy idea
In the 80s.
Yeah.
B, Creed.
C, Crocodile Dundee.
Or D, The Pacifier.
You know what?
I'm going to go The Pacifier.
Just because at this point, there's some kind of instinct here that I've got to trust.
I've got to turn myself over to it.
God, I'm going to go maximum racist on this one and say creed why would that
even be racist i'm guessing japan i don't know because they don't know what a kangaroo is and
they thought it was a monkey i don't know why it'd be right oh okay the blame has shifted onto
you well let's get off of this the correct answer is d the pacifier okay dude fuck yeah i didn't
assume it's because they think vin diesel looks like a kangaroo. Well, I mean, I'm not saying that's a true thing.
We have got to move away from what you're doing.
Well, yeah, no, I mean, I thought similarly.
They're super racist up there, and that seems like something they do.
Up there?
Yeah.
It's north of us.
Is China north of California?
Yes.
I think so.
Yeah, it is, yes.
All right, number four.
I'm drunk and you're a prostitute.
Is that A, true romance?
That's the first lyrics of Call Me Maybe.
B, leaving Las Vegas.
C, Sin City.
Or D, taxi driver.
I'm going Leaving Las Vegas, which is a movie, the plot of which I only know because of a family guy bit.
What's the name?
Where Benjamin, what's that guy that does Bob's Burgers?
Oh, Owen Benjamin.
Or no, not Owen Benjamin.
Bob Benjamin?
Not Bob.
Bob's Burgers.
H.R. Benjamin?
John Benjamin.
John Benjamin?
Yeah, he describes it.
Yeah, Archer Benjamin.
He describes it in a fucking,
in a bit with Chris.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah, yeah.
I've gotten most of my pop culture
secondhand from the Simpsons and Family Guy.
What was A&B?
True Romance and Leaving Las Vegas. What is A and B? True Romance and Leaving Las Vegas.
What is True Romance?
True Romance is the first script Quentin Tarantino ever sold.
It's got Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as a dude and a hooker who kill a drug dealer and go on the run.
I gotta go Leaving Las Vegas.
Great answer.
Here's Leaving Las Vegas.
Yeah.
That's a pretty accurate assessment of that plot.
All right.
Number five.
Big Liar.
Now, that's an okay title, but which of the following movies is it the title for?
A, Nixon.
B.
What?
B, W.
C, I, Tonya.
Or D, The Passion of the Christ.
Ooh.
Well, here's the real game here, because these could all work, except The Passion of the
Christ is a joke one, but it's like, which movie would Keith be the most likely to google the name for the itania itania feels good
but also nixon keith knows that i i'm a i'm a nixon nixon head and i i love george bush's comedy
uh so w yeah i'm looking forward to his Netflix 15.
I would totally watch him do state.
Like just the George Bush has the best joke in any White House correspondence dinner ever. It's like a year ago.
My approval ratings were in the 30s.
My nomination for the Supreme Court had just been shut down and my vice president had shot someone in the face.
Those were the good old days.
I want to meet the guy who wrote that.
It's a good joke.
I'm going to say I, Tonya.
Okay.
I'm going to say...
I'm going to say...
Nixon.
Great Dancer is Nixon.
God damn it.
It was just on the list.
I didn't even Google it specifically.
Do love I, Tonya, though.
All right.
Great movie.
We got a couple more, but I switched it around this time.
This time, I'll give you the regular name of the movie.
You have to tell me which of these is the Japanese or Chinese title for it.
Okay.
All right.
Number six, Babe.
Which of the following is the foreign title for Babe?
Oh, the pig movie?
Babe.
Okay, you know what, Babe.
Love that movie.
Yeah.
So is it A, Talking Pork Hero?
B, Ham Shepherd No. 1?
Whoa.
C, The Happy Dumpling to who talks and solves agricultural problems.
Or D, pig defeats dog in quest for the love of man.
Oh, it's got to be Talking Pork Hero.
Dude, that is the number one, like, flash game of 2008.
Dude, can you beat Talking Pork Hero?
I can't.
It's been on the front page of Newgrounds for months.
What was not the really long one?
It was Talking Pork Hero.
Ham Shepard number one.
That's the after show about Babe hosted by Chris Hardwick.
In Japan.
Japanese Chris Hardwick.
Welcome back to Pork Hero.
Son.
That's Japanese.
Oh, yeah.
See, it was the happy dumpling to be who talks.
I'm at Neldist on the tweets.
God damn it.
I didn't hear what he said.
That is a precision strike piece of racism.
What did you say?
I missed it.
I missed it.
Japanese Chris Hardwick
is at Neldist on Twitter
no he's actually at Haldwick
Jesus Christ
oh fuck
sorry everybody
that's so good though
sorry
C is the happy dumpling to be who talks and solves agricultural problems.
And D is pig defeats dog in quest for the love of man.
We go A.
What's your guess?
Welcome back to at 8 a.m. in the morning over here.
I'm talking pork heroes, I guess.
The correct answer is C, the happy dumpling to be the toxin self-agricultural problem.
Are you fucking serious?
A hand to God.
God damn it, dude.
I was like, that one is too funny and too jokey and too goddamn long to be real.
I got a few more of these, and they're all pretty rough.
Holy fuck.
Number seven, Batman and Robin.
Oh, no.
Batman and Robin.
A, homosexual crime destroyers.
B, nipple suit American assassinates the snowman.
C, leather police captain and feminine slave child.
Or D, come to my cave and wear this rubber codpiece, cute boy.

Yeah.
That's the game.
Yeah.
I figured it out.
Well done, you. Yeah. Shit. You might have to run those again yeah what a homosexual crime destroyers
that is i was like okay that one's out and now i'm like that is a front runner yeah b nipple
suit american assassinates the snowman c leather police captain and feminine slave child.
Or D. Come to my cave and wear this rubber codpiece, cute boy.
I'm going to say C.
Okay.
I got to go C.
These all sound like me drunkenly trying to remember the movie.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah.
Japanese people speak in lightning round.
That's what we're learning.
I'm going to go A.
The correct answer, D, come to my cave and wear this rubber coat. No way.
No fucking shit.
That one's from, I think, Hong Kong.
It's a Chinese one.
What?
Two more.
Number eight, idiocracy.
A, dumb dumb city.
I hate this.
B, buffoon lagoon.
C, Absurdistan.
Or D, Nonsense-ylvania.
Okay.
I got to figure that they can't do like a phonetic parody of these places.
I don't think it would translate.
So saying Absurdistan or fucking shit-dick-sylvania.
What were the first two?
Dumb Dumb City and Buffoon Lagoon.
I'm going to go Dumb Dumb City.
Okay.
I think Connor's right, but I'm going to go Buffoon Lagoon.
The correct answer is C, Absurdistan.
Oh, God damn it.
I know.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I only included that one because I thought of the phrase Buffoon Lagoon, and it made
me laugh for about 12 minutes.
It just seems like if Tom had a water park.
Buffoon
lagoon. Alright, and the last one.
Nathan Camp in the hospital was showing me
videos of this theme park that got
shut down because it was too hard for him. Oh, Action Park?
Action Park, yeah. Action Park rips, dude.
Yeah, they have a water slide loop
and I was just like, yeah, that seems
dangerous. He's like, Connor, water can't go upside down.
And I was like, oh, man, you're right.
He's like, it's made of metal.
It'd be out in the sun, so you get third-degree burns doing the loop.
They're making a movie about Action Park with Johnny Knoxville.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, where it's a movie, but then they just do jackass shit at Action Park.
Yeah, it looks pretty good.
Are the jackass guys going to be in it?
Knoxville is, and Pontius is.
I don't know if the rest of them are going to show up i'm really proud of steve-o yeah i'm probably i
was doing all right i was looking as he tweeted something the other day and i was like man good
for you steve-o yeah of all the people in that crew to end up okay yeah yeah yeah and bam is
seems to be falling on tough times i'm not proud i was reading this thing in like some skateboard
magazine with him where he like is kind of getting it together now. Okay. Well, he went and skated in Spain for
the first time in a few years, and he seems like he's losing weight.
Was he the guy who set himself on fire or whatever
it was? Probably. I think that was Steve-O, actually.
I don't know. They all did dumb shit. Anyway, last
one. Cool Runnings.
Wait. Jamaican
Bob's that tea. Yeah, that's the one. Okay.
Tom, what? Jamaican Bob's
that tea. All right. They sing it.
The following is the Japanese title for Cool Runnings.
A, Coconuts in the Snow.
B, Dark Winter.
C.
That's a Thor movie.
C, Fat American Tame Savage Speedmen.
Or D.
I told you they were racist.
Or D, Black and White and Sled All Over.
Oh, it can't be D.
I'm going to go C.
Okay.
Yeah, just because I'm like, it's got to be offensive.
There's no way they're doing this right.
I'm going to go with the Thor one.
What?
Dark Winter.
Yeah, Dark Winter.
Oh, I said it sounded like a Thor movie.
Okay, I missed that.
The correct answer is A, Coconuts in the Snow.

Oh, yeah.
I forgot the music is from Sesame Street.
This will be after Sesame Street.
We're going to get sued by such a strange group

Have you ever been
subpoenaed by Big Bird?
It doesn't feel good.
This week's game
comes to us from
a mean boy.
I'll see you in court,
fuckface.
Is that how Big Bird tops?
Kind of.
Why does Big Bird sound like a Dr. Strangelove bad guy?
I'm not far off.
What?
A Dr. Strangelove bad guy?
You mean the concept of nuclear war?
Yeah.
Are you thinking of Dr. Strange?
No.
What am I thinking of?
I think it might be Victor.
I don't know.
House.
I'm thinking of like a Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Okay.
House. Dr. I love House.
Dude, that Doctor Strangelove.
Dude, Courage the Cowardly Dog sucks dick.
Dude, fuck yourself out this window.
That show's great.
No, man.
No, that show rules.
It's not entertaining for kids.
It's super entertaining for kids.
It's too scary.
I know.
Kids like scary shit.
You guys going to watch the Roger's Neighborhood documentary?
Shut up.
Roger's Neighborhood is just about like a shitty part of Queens.
Hey, you do it.
It's me, Roger.
It's a scummy day in the neighborhood. Day in the fucking rents, too, in the neighborhood.
I never talk to my neighbors.
Oh, fucking shit, I hate my neighbors.
Dying alone in the neighborhood.
They won't find my body till way later.
Cooking meth in the basement of my neighborhood.
I think the neighbor killed a guy.
I think my neighbor's been dead for a week.
The fucking trolley through the fucking world of make-believe is just like a broken subway train.
Yeah.
Like a passed out junkie who's choking on their puke.
In Japan, it's called the one good pedophile.
God. All right.
This one comes to us from Mean Boys early adopter.
Oh, God, I'm dying.
Early adopter, Rick.
Oh, my God, Morty.
Listen to the show.
Back when it was bad.
So this is from Caitlin Massey, a.k.a.
Fanny Crap Chanter.
Oh, Caitlin.
We love Caitlin.
Hi, Connor.
Here's she knows that I checked the email.
Here's the witch of the following game. It may be too gross or too much of a bummer for even the Mean Boys. You decide. Oh, Caitlyn. We love Caitlyn. Hi, Connor. She knows that I checked the email. Here's to which of the following game.
It may be too gross or too much of a bummer for even the mean boys.
You decide.
Oh, shit.
Love Caitlyn.
This is why we love Caitlyn.
Everyone says that, and then it's never that bad.
Which of the following is not a symptom of menopause?
She writes parenthetically, remember to be nice to your moms, aunts, grandmas, etc.
Oh, always considerate that, Caitlyn.
A, nausea.
My mom sold her uterus for meth 20 years ago, so I don't think she's going to hit menopause.
Your mom's uterus is in a pawn shop in the fucking South Bay.
You can get that in a base in Torrance.
Yeah, so it's fucking, yeah, the Bruce Willis used it to attack Marcellus Wallace.
A, nausea.
B, bleeding gums.
C, bloodshot eyes. or D, increased sex drive.
You know, symptoms of menopause?
Yeah.
Run them one more time real quick.
Nausea, bleeding gums, bloodshot eyes, and increased sex drive.
Sex drive is definitely a thing.
Yeah.
Old ladies like to bang.
Yeah, that cougar action.
You know that cougar action. You know that cougar action.
I know it well.
What's the oldest person you've ever fucked, Keith?
45.
That's pretty good.
Didn't I pick you up from that?
Oh, you did, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a good wingman I am.
Yeah, well, how about you, Tom?
I think like 33, but at the time I was like 21.
Okay, that's a good jump.
I've done 38.
How old were you?
22.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was definitely a coug type situation.
Yeah, that's the same age gap as between me and 45, because I'm 29.
Okay.
Yeah.
And this was this year?
Yeah, this was like this month.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Wait, was I there?
No.
We don't need to dig too deep into this one. Oh, okay. Yeah. Anyway, was I there? No. We don't need to dig too deep into this one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Anyway, I think it's Bloodshot Eyes.
All right.
I think it's nausea.
All right.
The wrong one is Bloodshot.
The right one is Bloodshot Eyes.
Hell yeah, dude.
Yeah.
Keith's on the board, dude.
Keith knows all about that fucking.
That's too bad.
I think it would be funny to fuck someone who's just like, Satan.
If you want to fuck someone with Bloodshot eyes, just pick any comedian.
Oh, man.
I've been working at this call center, and I had to get up at 6.
I was at Flapper's until 3 in the morning.
Yeah, all right.
Make me come fast.
I'm going to get another call for Uber.
All right, guys.
A, ringing ears.
B, herpes flare-ups.
C, shrinking breasts.
Or D, spinal changes
I'm going through changes
Dude, your spine is changing
What?
Spinal changes is what they call
The Dark Knight Rises in China
Broke his back, dude
What were the first three?
Ringing ears
Herpes flare-ups
Shrinking breasts
And spinal changes.
Crickety crack, I broke your back.
No, did you just step on a crack, Batman?
Because I broke your fucking back.
I might be bad, but I like to have fun.
A pun never hurts anybody, unlike capitalism or something.
I'm going to go with the smalling of titties.
The smalling.
The smalling of titties. Are youing. The smalling of titties.
Are you sure she wasn't just in the pool?
Dude, imagine if your tits shrank when it got cold.
They kind of do because you put jackets over them.
But they get firmer.
Yeah, visually they shrink, but they're still there.
Yeah, that's true.
You're not compacting them.
Yeah, well, I mean, sometimes you want to bundle them up.
Weird pop culture titty shrinking story.
When they were filming the first Star Wars movie, Carrie Fisher's tits were too big.
And George Lucas was like, you need to have less tits in that dress.
So they had to duct tape them down with gaffer tape.
No shit.
At the end of the day, they'd have...
George Lucas is a pedophile.
That's what I'm learning.
She was of age.
Yeah.
Well, no.
I mean, he wanted her to have small breasts, like a beautiful child.
Well, I think it was just because she couldn't wear a bra in that dress and she couldn't
be all flippity-floppity.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Running around the Death Star.
That would be funny
if in Star Wars
Leia's tits were just like
flat around.
Yeah, just like
stormtroopers.
It was like,
this movie would have been exciting
if I could focus on any of it.
But no, but yeah,
at the end of the day
she would like raffle off
who got to rip the tape
off her tits.
That's funny.
Carrie Fisher was such a rad bitch.
I had a girl offer to fuck me in a Leia slave bikini one time.
Why would you not do that?
I'm so depressed that I'm just like, I don't care.
Like, I don't know.
Like, this feels...
Just do it to say you did it.
Yeah, I mean, I was just like...
He looks genuinely upset.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not...
You fuck some high caliber ladies, so I know whoever this was, it was a good situation.
Oh, she's a great gal, but I was just like, I don't like i don't know i mean i'm really i'm too sad to fuck and i
and looking back on it i was my favorite day kennedy song
i do a party if i got my pills i'm sitting in the corner and i'm still just petting the dog
drinking tap water talking to the dad gonna drive home early
and watch Star Trek in bed
I'm too sad to fuck
I'm too sad to fuck
I think it's uh
here's my only problem with this question is like herpes
flare ups like if you already have herpes maybe
yeah I assume it's if you already
have herpes yeah but that's what I'm saying I don't know if she's
trying to fucking trick-a-roo she's not I'll tell you that okay so it's if you already have herpes. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. I don't know if she's trying to fucking trick-a-roo. She's not.
I'll tell you that.
Okay.
So it's not herpes?
No.
Cool.
Thanks, buddy.
That made the game easier for you guys.
In that case, I'm going to say it's...
What was it again?
Ringing ears.
That one.
Tommy Goss.
I already said the smalling of titties.
Yeah, spinal changes.
Not a thing.
What?
Yeah, spinal changes.
Oh, man.
That seems...
Well, it is a thing.
That was such a haunting way to phrase that. I knew it had... I thought it had to be real. It is a thing. What? Yeah, spinal cord. Oh, man. That seems... It is a thing. That was such a haunting way to phrase that.
I knew it had...
I thought it had to be real.
It is a thing.
No, it is because Michael Bay...
Michael...
Turn and face the back.
I just broke it.
League of Shadows hired me.
I can't break back.
You get shorter as you get older i know if maybe it was related
to menopause that was my thinking indeed yep let's do continue with the game let's do a whole

And then he's like, no, I've been doing the joke of this all time.
Yeah, that was Ultron.
Well done.
Fucking the blood pressure one.
Hey.
All right.
The fake one, blurry vision.
Damn.
Dude, they got eagle eyes
Dude, I don't like the powers women have
They have eagle eyes, alright, they're uncorrupted by menstruation
I like that we're referring to the concept of basic human body function as superpowers
Yeah, man
Dude, they have good vision, what?
I need them in feebles
Alright guys, round number five, all real or all fake
Burning Tongue
Nightmares
Crawling Skin
And Tooth Movement These all sound like Linkin Park songs All real or all fake. Burning tongue, nightmares, crawling skin, and tooth movement.
These all sound like Linkin Park songs.
Tooth movement.
That's something the cavity creeps are trying to start.
My tooth will crawl away.
Up into my skin.
Dude, what if...
I can't really hear good.
Okay, guys, hear me out.
What if the cavity creeps got red-pilled and turned alt-right?
Shock my twat.
What were they?
Alt-right cavity creeps?
Yeah, we put holes in juice or something.
There's so many.
Imagine the cavity creeps marching in Charlottesville.
That'd be good.
Oh, God.
You will not replace us.
They're holding tiki torches.
Yeah, that's the idea.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
The tiki toothbrushes.
Dude, I want a toothbrush torch.
That'd be cool.
Dude, that'd be sick.
That'd be like
if you had a fun dentist
who made his office
look like a dungeon.
You think that's a fun dentist?
I think that's fun.
And then he's like,
ooh, the most sinister devices
To fix your mouth
And he's like, we're actually very safe
We're approved by the liberal board
They play Dracula music whenever he walks in
Yeah, yeah
He's basically just like some old Jewish dentist
But just like dressed as Grandpa Monster
Yeah, yeah, he puts, he like does grayness
How you doing? I'm Mor, sorry, Count Morris
Schwarzbaum DDS
I'm coming in here.
I've got a pain in my jaw.
Oh, well, it might be because you've been wearing a fucking carburetor on your mouth for 12 years.
Oh, that can't be it.
It's very comfortable.
I feel pretty confident that's what it is.
Just prove it.
Okay, take it off.
Can't do that.
Tough to breathe.
Okay, well, there's your problem.
Well, I mean, I need it to breathe.
I need you to look at my teeth. Well, I can't look
at your teeth if you don't take the mask off. I mean...
Cut a hole in my face.
So, I should just
cut your cheek open.
Yeah, just stitch it up, you know.
Alright, because here's what I... I'm just going to tell you what my
concern is, and I feel like you're telling me to do that now.
I feel like I'm not going to give a shit, but tell me.
Okay, I think I'm going to do it.
You're going to freak out. You're going to go all fucking muscle guy on me, and then you're going to kill me. Oh, I'm quite chill. give a shit, but tell me. Okay. I think I'm going to do it. You're going to freak out.
You're going to go all fucking muscle guy on me, and then you're going to kill me. Oh, I'm quite chill.
Okay.
I took eight oxys.
I had to snort them because of the mouth thing.
I can't even see your nose either.
I don't know how you're putting it up near the ventilator.
I've snorted a lot more oxy than that, but only a little bit.
Yeah, how did he eat?
Look, man, I've got this.
I'll tell you how I eat.
Your mom's pussy.
That's how Bane eats.
I never explained how he ate.
You'd figure like...
He can take it off.
Oh, he can?
I thought he couldn't take it off.
He just went for taco Tuesday.
No, I can tell.
You don't have to get that hole in my cheek.
It turns out I can take this thing off.
Okay, because I have the scalpel here.
I'm taking it off now and I feel a lot better.
Okay, cool.
Maybe 10 minutes a day, no mask.
Cool, awesome. I'm going to cut your cheek open now. I haven't been eating food for years. No wonder I'm taking it off now and I feel a lot better. Maybe ten minutes a day, no mask. Cool, awesome.
I'm going to cut your cheek open now.
I haven't been eating food for years.
No wonder I'm so angry.
I'm dead.
I robbed that bank.
I thought that was the other movie.
I probably robbed a bank too.
I'm a bad guy.
I think you robbed a bank.
You robbed the stock market.
Oh, yeah.
We've talked more about The Dark Knight Rises than anyone has in ten years.
Yeah, man.
I just watched the movie movie a couple weeks ago.
Maybe.
Still unenthralled by this conversation.
All right.
Anyway, they're all real.
Okay, Tom.
Yeah, real.
Yeah, they are real.
Tight.
Tooth movement is real, but spinal changes is not.
It's weird to me.
I'm going through changes.
Is this how it feels to have someone do the same bit over and over again?
Yes.
Oh, well, fuck this.
The Mean Boys Podcast.
We'll be right back.
Yeah, make it cold.
Boo.
Oh, the Mean Boys Podcast is brought to you by Don Carlos Taco Shop in La Jolla, California.
Whoa.
Somehow.
Yeah, guys.
You know, because, I mean, if you weren't, if you were on the fence about going to Don Carlos for the first 118 avenues,
maybe 119, we bring up something like, whoa, I didn't know they had a website where I could
look at their menu.
Wait, you mean eataborito.com?
Yeah, yeah.
Menu availability?
They have, oh my goodness, mojitos?
What?
What?
I don't even know if they have those.
They probably do. Horchata? Yeah.. What? What? I don't even know if they have those. They probably do.
Horchata?
Yeah.
I definitely have that because I just got it recently.
Yeah.
They have the burritos where they put the fries in the burritos and they're curly fries.
It makes them crispy and it tastes fucking dope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Wait.
Is curly fries?
Crinkle.
Yeah.
They don't do that.
It's crinkle fries.
You could have said any fact about a burrito.
You found the one thing they don't do.
Not even crinkle cut fries.
Crinkle is, yeah, that's what I meant.
In terms of Cali-style burritos with the fries in there, there really is not a better one in the world.
If you're in the San Diego area, go check them out.
The Red Cross is straight from the La Jolla Comedy Store.
Go to eataburrito.com.
Find out everything they got on the menu and tell them the Mean Boys sent you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Crinkle cut.
Welcome back to Bean Boys.
Yes.

Oh, God.
What the fuck have we done?
$1,300 a month on Patreon.
Patreon.
Patreon.
Of course.
We're right there. Okay.
We gotta not do paid anymore.
Yeah, more freeze.
No, shut your fat mouth.
We're tools of the Patreonarchy.
Tools of the...
Cliff Toniel writes, which mean boy would you be most willing to swap bodies with?
Tom, I want his strength.
Oh, that's... Well... Keith's dick is enticing.
Yeah. First of all,
isolate the audio.
I need somebody to please send me
that audio snipped out so I can turn it into my
cell phone. I've just heard
so much about it and I've seen it.
Yeah, yeah. You've never seen it in action.
I'd like to see the mechanics of it because
Keith has explained more things
to me about his dick than I've ever learned about like social studies.
There's not that much to explain about it.
Well, we just had long conversations about how.
I know.
There's much to explore.
Yeah.
I don't.
Well, yeah, I think you definitely got to take Tom.
I feel like Tom's probably got moderate pipe and like he's and he's strong.
He's burly.
He's intimidating.
I got none of that going for me.
Yeah. I'm going to be Cotter.
Oh, yeah?
What are you excited about with being me?
I don't know.
I could play so many.
Fuck both of you.
I'm going to be Joe.
Oh, no.
Keith's going to die in six months.
Oh, shit.
No, Joe's fine.
Yeah, I could play so much sports.
So much sports.
Yeah, so you'd become me.
Oh, it's your height hockey.
You'd have to turn me into an athlete,
because as it stands right now,
I've eaten one piece of toast and a quesadilla today.
I've eaten nothing today.
I drank a fucking giant thing of coffee.
Okay.
Yeah, I can't decide who I'd want to be.
I feel like me being Connor would be, like,
irresponsibly dangerous.
Oh, yeah, because you would just start banging.
If I was me in your body, I would have AIDS.
Like, no question asked. Dude, yeah, I would have AIDS. No question asked.
Dude, yeah, I would be on a rampage.
I mean, I could do some damage in Tom's body, too, because Tom's cute.
You guys don't want my body.
It's failing.
I mean, I don't really want any of our bodies, to be honest.
I think I would go with Connor just so I could be tall.
That would be the biggest reason.
I think you're going to find not as great as you think.
I mean, I've been short for a while, and I've had a bit of dick full of that.
Yeah, I think as someone who's tall, I think you should shut the fuck up on this one.
I think you got it pretty good.
I've been trying to get fat for so long, and I just can't do it.
I can get you fat.
I'd play so much sports if I was fat.
Bro, I will make you fat.
Ooh, that'd be 500 iTunes reviews.
I'll get fat.
But it's only via soup?
Yeah, yeah. No, I have to eat nothing but i'm all chowder diet i might cheat and do some ice cream soup you know like peewee's all right
uh death to the filth rights if you were able to pick one thing about your body what would it be
uh one thing to change about your body what would it be oh please know this can include things like
fixing the teeth or if you have a family history of cancer or heart disease as well as cosmetic
stuff i uh i want that's a good question i like i guess i'd like to be buff because i was like kind of
buff for a while and that was pretty neat uh you know the pinnacle of my buffness was when jamar
neighbors said i looked buff and i was just like wow that fucking that compliment got like the pope
telling you you're good at jesus yeah it's fucking great yeah i but i i would probably if i was just
gonna go something with my face and i am thinking about getting a nose job at some point.
You don't get a nose job.
Are you serious?
I'm thinking about it.
Dude, you're a fucking moron.
No, man, dude.
No, I will.
I want to like the skin I'm in.
I don't like my hook nose, man.
You don't have a hook nose.
You have a good nose.
I'm sorry.
It's a little bit curved.
I'm sorry.
You think the reason you don't like you is because of your nose?
For the world of stand-up comedians, you are shockingly attractive.
Don't get a nose job and fuck it up.'s never worked that well for anybody my buddy ryan got
a nose job and he actually looks pretty good i hate that we're talking about this my buddy my
buddy got a right i got a nose job for his graduation present and and he's and he just
never really told us what it was for he's like yeah i had to get surgery on my nose and he said
like a like a fucking bandage on his face for a long time he's like a shitty pokemon and then like
after a couple months he had to takes it off and he's like, your nose looks
way different.
He's like, you got a nose job, you fuck.
If you're getting a nose job, then my thing I change is I want stronger fists to break
your new nose.
Dude, you can't break my science nose.
I'm not going to add a man to your nose.
Bill, nah, I have a science nose.
Dude, I'm going to straight up turn into like a fucking crimson chin villain once I get
my titanium nose.
Tom, I'm assuming...
Can I trade my wish
to just block Connor's new nose?
Can I do...
I'm not actually...
I'm thinking maybe like 35.
We reshaped it.
Smells smell like other things now.
Yeah, I'm thinking 35.
If I'm single and I'm depressed
and I'm just running out of stuff to... At this point, I'm like three. If I'm single and I'm depressed and I'm just running out of stuff.
At this point, I'm like three drug problems deep.
All right.
I've got several canceled television shows.
I'm just going to start getting nose surgery.
I mean, it would be pretty hilarious if you just became this gnarly plastic surgery guy.
That would be pretty cool, yeah.
I don't think you can just get a nose job.
If you do that, you've got to just commit to becoming a fucking horrible monster.
I could like...
Get fake tits. I would maybe Botox my forehead wrinkles because i got some pretty
but i can also just grow bangs so you know yeah what i um i don't know what i would fix i mean i
guess i fixed my teeth but like i don't even mind them that much yeah i'm like just bleed less but
i'm juggling so like do you menopause? That's a symptom.
I think I do.
I think my pussy stopped bleeding.
I should have realized this.
Everything that happens to women during menopause is something you deal with day to day.
Yeah, my tits are getting smaller.
Mood swings.
Yeah, I mean, I'm juggling so many different things.
Part of me is just like, oh, I'll be skinny.
Another part of me is like, maybe I should fix so I can drink again with my pancreas. I'm like, then you'll drink too much again.
Also would love the ringing in my ears to stop.
Don't know if that's a thing.
I didn't know you had that.
Are you going through menopause too?
No, I didn't realize other people didn't have that.
I was with Kilo.
I was like, I guess other people don't really have,
or maybe I realized sooner,
but I just thought everyone rang in their ears.
Then I could also read up on, yeah, this is just depressing.
I have no sense of smell.
I don't need a sense of smell.
It's like you're buying a car and it's like, there's no seats.
And you're like, I can crouch.
I mean, look, you can just pick one because I don't know if you know this.
You're not going to actually get it.
Yeah.
Like, this is rhetorical.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to fix whatever brain damage from the concussions.
I don't do that.
Fine.
Okay, do the concussions.
Skinny. I want skinny brain
You did a ten minute monologue
And you're like, I wish I was less fat
That was the end of it
I wish I was not big
Alright, will you be eating any burgers
After your show in Philly in April?
Maybe
Yeah, your mom's burger
Fur burger
I don't eat beef
It's between the buns
use your fucking wish on fixing your tooth fancy nose
oh god just saying calling your mom's pussy a burger yeah after i slid out of my mom's burger
medium rare no but i i need i'm gonna eat a an ungodly amount of cheesesteak in Philly.
Yeah.
I'm talking three meals, three cheesesteaks.
Ah, waggity-schmaggity.
Dude, three breakfast, lunch, dinner, cheesesteak.
Are you prepared to take the cheesesteak gauntlet challenge?
Dude, I'll rub the cheese gauntlet.
Dude, okay.
Do your worst, Philadelphia.
Here's what you got to do.
You got to get a different one from different places.
You got to get just a classic cheesesteak.
You get three different ones.
So all the cheese and meat, like fucking meats in your stomach,
it has like a knife fight and tries to figure out who gets to be diarrhea quickest.
No, I think they team up and become like a Justice League.
Dude, you're going to take eight.
You're going to shoot out a duffel bag.
I'm probably not going to eat three cheesesteaks. You got it, dude.
You got to double down.
I think I might get a nice fish sandwich.
251 iTunes reviews.
Keith has eaten three cheesesteaks.
Fuck it.
I'll run the gauntlet.
I will.
Dude, breakfast, lunch, dinner, complete cheesesteak.
I have to do a show.
Yeah, it's going to be hard.
Well, I'll do the breakfast cheesesteak, the lunch cheesesteak, do the show, then eat the dinner cheesesteak.
Yeah, that'll save it.
Who are we kidding?
I might just eat all three cheesesteaks and just be miserable during the show.
If we didn't make this into a thing, you would have just done it.
We'll bury you somewhere in New York City when we get to the next day.
Oh, I'm going to die.
Dude, three cheesesteaks.
That might kill me.
That's a lot of cheesesteaks, man.
Fuck it, game on.
Let's party.
Dude, you got to tweet us locations for cheesesteaks that Keith has to eat.
Yeah.
Give us your cheesesteak locales.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't eat beef.
You guys got fish out there?
Nah.
No.
Your mom's fish burger.
Lauren's fish burger.
He's a big black pussy.
He gives you advice.
Do you want the red pill or the
tartar sauce? You can see how far
down my rabbit hole goes.
Yeah, it's my pussy.
What's the next one?
You don't think they're bad when Tom is trying to move
it along? I'm just trying to siphon
out all the podcasting we can get.
The next question. I've recently become
reacquainted with root beer barrels.
Fantastic sentence.
I remembered a long lost love of them.
What is your favorite generic candy?
I don't know if you can fuck with the root beer barrels.
Because sometimes you get sick when you're a kid and your mom picks you up from root beer barrels.
Because it's like a cough drop, but it's more fun.
I don't even know what the fuck this is.
They're like cough drops, but they're root beer flavored.
They're real good.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just like a root beer flavored candy.
It's not actually a cough drop, but it's like the same kind of consistency.
What do I go in terms of a generic candy?
Like a chocolate.
The butterscotch.
Does a chocolate covered pretzel count?
Because I feel like that's my go-to.
I think generic candy, it's got to come in a cellophane bag.
The butterscotch.
Okay, so what about.
You've got to be able to buy it at most Arco's.
The little sour strips.
Oh, yeah, like the razzmatazz.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Butterscotch.
Stop saying butterscotch.
Dude, butterscotch is too...
I like a butterscotch candy for about eight seconds, then I've had enough of it.
It's like a banana.
Okay.
That is all.
That is why.
And that is why.
Butterscotch.
Cool, dude.
Tight.
Fucking butterscotch.
Hey, how about knock it off?
All right, so this person writes, and it's an anonymous email,
so you know it's going to be good.
Oh, shit.
Hey, Fat One, Less Fat One, and Mongoloid.
I'm currently writing this message,
hiding in the bathroom of a Jesus camp that I do not want to be at
and forgot I got roped into playing the music for.
I kept thinking, what is this crushing Catholic guilt that I feel
that can't be solved through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Why, it's because I'm not donating to your Patreon, of course.
Oh, I forgot this was a Patreon.
I feel bad.
I feel like it's a shill now.
So here's five bucks, and I'm filling the time in between acting like I want to be here
but listening to the Tom Flippin' Shit About Rabbits and Your Escapades in a Motel 6.
So thanks.
Come to Florida sometime.
Tons of sexy geese and wildlife for Tom to hit while driving.
Fuck everything.
God is whatever.
P.S.
I know Connor has never seen a movie, and probably not Friday the 13th, but in his life, in his
life, put the camp I'm at is called Camp Crystal Lake.
And I feel like that aptly describes how bad of a time I'm having.
What?
That's fucking nuts.
Oh, is that the name of the camp?
That's the name of the camp where Jason killed everybody.
Yeah.
Oh, that's fun.
Why would you name it that?
Like, why would you not change the name?
That's like a famous thing.
It was probably the movie named it based off of that.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
Change the fucking name of your camp.
Jesus people don't watch movies about dead people.
Yeah, but they're all about Jesus.
He kills a bunch of people.
You better believe I'm going by Connor Paul from now on.
Have fun at Camp Crystal Lake.
Remember, it was his mom the first time, and it won't be Jason for real until the third time.
Okay.
Big Meek.
Oh, no, not Big Meek.
Some guy asked, any way to get a Ramsey cum rack?
I'd buy one of those
Well there is now
Not a bad idea
I wonder how much it costs
To print shit on towels
I do remember when I went
And saw Tenacious D
When I was 18
They were selling
The official Tenacious D Cumrack
That's pretty funny
That would be a pretty sweet
Piece of merchandise
Yeah we'll look at that
Alright we got some voicemails
Hit the voicemail line
At 304-805-MEAN
If you want to talk to us
What's going on mean boys
It's your Twitter follower, Alonzo what?
I know.
Who the fuck cares?
But basically, we've seen you boys in Chicago on April 7th at the North Bar.
Last night I actually saw Quincy Jones.
I know Connor follows him on Twitter.
I was the only person there who actually was there for Quincy. The dude survived stage four lung cancer, but couldn't survive that audience.
Good luck.
Also, I've been hearing a lot of reference to something about incest or dog fucking.
I didn't know if you guys ever mentioned this on the podcast.
Something about Keith and his girlfriend.
I don't know.
We, as fans, have never heard the story.
We'll elaborate on that.
And also, Tom, I know that you have an issue with claymation,
but I was wondering, does that also translate to old Simpsons episodes?
Really shitty animation and drawing.
It can.
Either way, boys, I will take my answer off air. Love ya.
Shouts out
to the Fudge Lord.
All hail Karnak.
And, um...
Fuck everything.
Dog fucking's the shit.
Alright, boys. I'll see you in Chicago.
Oh, and I'm also gonna buy Tom a beer.
So, 100%.
Pancreatus be damned.
Bye.
I like this guy.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, he's kind of mean to Quincy Jones.
He's a nice dude.
But yeah, I'm sorry, buddy.
The views of our listeners don't necessarily reflect the views of the Mean Boys podcast. But they might.
But they don't not.
Yeah.
What?
I'm never allowed to give Quincy shit because he got sick?
That would be way more disrespectful.
Oh, we were apocalyptically mean to him at the Ride LA after party right after he found out.
We sure were.
Yeah, I thought I was like, oh, this will make you feel like you're one of the guys.
And I feel like I was like, oh, not the time.
I probably kind of goofed on that one.
Yeah, he got one over on me.
I think he won that one.
Yeah, all right, here we go.
These next ones are terrifying.
Hey!
Oh, hey. Don't worry, you left it. Thank you. These next ones are terrifying.
Don't worry.
Thank you.
What the fuck was that?
Don't worry.
He left another one.
Hey, he said my name.
Oh, I thought he said Satan.
I think he said Satan.
I thought he said say Tom.
Why?
What? Because my name's Tom. Yeah, why would he say say Tom? Because he said Satan. I think he said Satan. I thought he said say Tom. Why would, what? Because my name's Tom. Yeah, why would he say say Tom?
Because he said Tom. I think he said hey Tom.
I think he said Satan.
Alright, well.
Mean boys, this is Tristan from Florida.
You know, mess you up.
Anyway,
just want to let you guys know I actually went
ahead and bought a pair of studios.
Oh, thanks. Studios. Well this $30 is well spent.
You guys put out a great fucking show.
Fantastic content.
Anyone that says different, probably an asshole.
Yeah.
Have a good one.
No, mommy, you got to go play my jug.
What a nice guy.
Hey, it's me, Tristan, calling you live from Buffoon Lagoon.
I went and bought myself a pair of Sudios.
Yeah, yeah.
Are we ready for this?
Is that Bluegrass Jock Jams?
Yeah.
Everyone starts off their voicemails with, hey, they're mean boys.
And on the predictive text on my voicemail app, one just says, hey, almond boys.
We got one more.
It's from Ryan Colby in 1984.
Whoa!
Ryan Colby lives!
Our first fan.
I don't know if I've ever heard his voice before.
Oh, shit.
And you never will.
And this one, the predictive text says,
hey, Ms. Lewis.
Ms. Lewis.
If you're nasty.
Hey, mean boys.
This is your old pal, Ryan Colby, 1984.
What's up, Ryan?
Hell yeah, dude.
1984, because that's the year I was born.
1984 is a cool book.
Yeah.
Anyways, I'm walking in to the Boeing campus here to work my blue-collar job as an 87110 electronic comedian in tech.
Tom's right.
Blue-collar jobs are swell.
And I sure hope he makes it as a comedian.
But if he doesn't, he should think about learning electronics.
Or mechanics.
Nope.
They pay us an ass ton of money.
Anyways, kind of wondering where my Godzilla, Godzilla's and space stickers are.
I'm sure you guys have those on the way.
Are you?
Are you really sure?
I'm a really positive person in real life.
All those times you guys told me to kill myself, well, haven't done it yet.
Oh, good, man.
Anyways, thanks for all the free content.
And I'm kind of doing a fake accent here.
Yeah, bye.
You sound like a side character in a goofy movie.
Yeah, you sound like the ox he just started kicking in.
Yeah, he's like Quaaludes.
What a nice guy.
Yeah, he's just like, hey, me boys.
I'm out here.
I'm just a humble electrician listening to you talk about how
I should die specifically by
name on your 50
episodes of Spectacular. What did
I even just say?
Look, if I tell any of you
guys to kill yourselves, I'm kidding.
Except for Ryan.
That's my
job. How do you think I'm going to make this podcast
blow up? Faking my death.
I've been planning it for years.
We're on some Swedish death metal shit.
And during that time, you're just going to get a nose job.
Yeah, we're going to kill.
I'm going to come back as a handsomer version of myself.
No, we're going to kill and eat Tom at some point.
And then we're going to be the most famous black metal podcast in the world.
Yeah, dude.
You're going to have to.
That's the third cheesesteak.
You don't know yet.
