John Michael Bond joined us in the studio. Please check him out on all social media things.
Starting point is 00:00:40 He was a lot of fun. This episode is a little bit light sketch-wise because we had a little bit of a hectic scheduling week. But we got an extra fat meme boys coming at you next week. That's going to be Chuck full of stupid stuff. And we want to thank everyone very much for contributing to the Patreon.

You can get all three of them, even though you're probably just going to want the Tom one because it's the Tom Goss, Barack Obama, Hope one, and it's pretty fucking awesome.

And I think that's about all the business for this week. Yeah, give us your money on Patreon.
Starting point is 00:01:47 We have a live show coming up September 19th at Harvell's in Long Beach, our old tried-and-true stomping grounds. If you haven't already, check out the Endless Bummer series in which we lose and regain faith in ourselves and our mission statement here at the podcast. And I think that's about it. Oh, yeah, one more thing. We have a guest sketch this week. The Carn knock legal sketch uh comes to us from luke hamilton uh so please uh
Starting point is 00:02:09 he's not on the internet really but uh just want you to know that we didn't write that one uh but yeah if you want to send us a sketch you wrote maybe we'll use it and maybe we won't uh but we might so do that okay Here's the episode. Bye. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Mean Boys podcast. I have no mouth and I must scream. For Ice Cream, I'm Connor McSpadden. I'm Keith Carey.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And I'm the creepy guy who's too old to be at Warped Tour. It's fair. Yeah, it's accurate. It's very fair. I want it noted that I was going to say reanimated Philip Seymour Hoffman and then Paige Wesley scooped me in the comment section of that picture I posted to you. I feel like at this point in my life, that joke no longer makes any sense because I'm in a real good stage and there's never a hot Philip Seymour Hoffman role.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Except for happiness. Oh, God. Look, don't get shamed. I'm going to be honest. I'd fuck him in Boogie Nights. Yeah, no, no. I didn't say there are no get fucked Bill Seymour Hoffman roles.
Starting point is 00:03:21 You'd fuck him now if I'd give you a ride, all right? Let's not lie. That's neither here nor there. And the Patreon money hasn't kicked in yet, so we can't afford shovels. Also joining us, Tom Goss on sound effects. Tom boldly leaning into all these sound drums that have no purpose. But yeah, we're joined in studio by John Michael Bond, a very funny comedian. Thanks for coming in, man.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Thanks for having me, guys. Right off the bat, getting slightly offended by both of the opening slams, both the used one and the redacted one. All right. Well, we've made it a bummer already. He's like, hey, man, I write for a punk rock website. I'm supposed to be a Warped Tour. Oh, no. I just thought that was like an on-the-nose insult.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Someone that knows MLA format needs to document what's going on with the circle jerks these days. Oh, man. Yeah. Good fucking God. I did do a scholarly paper on punk in college. Of course you did. Honestly, it just feels like this is an intervention for all the terrible things that I've wasted my life on. Hey, this is with
Starting point is 00:04:19 we haven't had that intervention for ourselves yet. We're in no position to tell you what to do. You just made your life into everything your face demanded it be. Oh, yeah. I just feel like I spent a lot of money to go to college and turn in papers about Halloween and the circle jerks. I could have just had a Tumblr. That does kind of make me wish I went to college because I didn't know you could just talk about bullshit that didn't matter. I don't think you're supposed to, though.
Starting point is 00:04:42 If you can bullshit real well, getting an English major is super easy. Yeah. And if you can bullshit kind of okay, having a podcast isn't bad either. Yeah. And a lot of good it's done you. Now, let's get into our opening segment, the Mexican joke on. I will take us away this week. A second norovirus case has been linked to Virginia Chipotle.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Health officials in the state are saying not only is Virginia Chipotle a terrible dominatrix name, but this gross bitch is giving everybody burrito aids. Virginia Chipotle was great at the live show. She was. Follow her on Twitter. At Poophooker. Yes. The Chinese government has censored Disney icon Winnie the Pooh.
Starting point is 00:05:25 However, Disney has created the country a new government-approved mascot, Bearman Mao. Oh, man. Oh, man. The people must own the means of honey production. My worker bees. Let's see. A woman in eastern China
Starting point is 00:05:41 died this week after her fourth abortion in a single year. She and her husband were trying to have a baby boy but kept getting pregnant with girls. The story shows the horror of gender dynamics in China and the importance of living next to a river. Dead baby. I said dead baby. That was the rare way too long mean boys joke that actually paid off. We all got worried.
Starting point is 00:06:10 It was like watching the person almost fall off the balance beam. I was like, oh, man, are we about to top the Warped Tour Slam as the bummer of the episode? And then redemption. I did that same topic at the live show. Also, quick Barrowman Mao joke. I wasn't quick enough to think of. Oh, fuck. I love. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 No, this is after someone kills a little baby girl and he just goes, fuck, I love... This is after someone kills a little baby girl and he just goes, oh, bother. There it is. It wasn't seamless. Hey, man. Someone's got to deviate... Anyway, a new section in the Arizona driver's manual aims to help people
Starting point is 00:06:41 not get shot by police. The handbook advises motorists to keep their hands visible, comply with officers' requests, and move to Canada. Speaking of which, a man was caught impersonating an NYPD officer while harassing and sexually assaulting innocent people. He was arrested, booked, and immediately promoted to lieutenant.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Cops are bad. John Michael, you want to talk into the microphone like you have an idea Of what broadcasting is Yeah Okay cool Cool This week
Starting point is 00:07:09 Just affable I'm sorry I'm just proud Of our likability You know Why are you rubbing Your hands together Like you're hatching
Starting point is 00:07:21 An evil Cause I'm evil Baby I'm evil The only one who Enjoys the smack. Tom's expression, that was like Templeton in the medicine cabinet. You're like, ooh, downers.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yeah, and pleasantries are here. This week, the world learned what it takes to get your friends to admit they like Linkin Park. Oh, man. Brevity. The soul of jokes. That was a good one. Oh, man. I think that was the of jokes. That was a good one. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I think that was the best Linkin Park joke I've heard. Absolutely. I think the only good Linkin Park joke I've heard. No, I'd agree. Yeah. By the way, I think it says a lot about our show that we got several tweets and messages where it's like, we were so excited Chester Bennington died. We can't wait to hear the mean boys joke.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I'm like, what have we done? I'm just insulted that people think that I've lived a life where I have an opinion about Linkin Park. I do not at all. I do. When I was like 12, you know. Yeah, you also have that haircut. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. Yeah. This was born out of Meteora. All right. All right. The Tokyo National Cancer Center has invented a groundbreaking new blood test that checks for 13 different kinds of cancer. Now, with the prick of a needle, oncologists can find out if you have breast cancer, lung cancer, or if you like Doctor Who.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I also started burping while I was talking. And I was like, I've got to hold it together. I wrote this 20 minutes ago. Put it in the middle, hoping it would slip past unnoticed. Speaking of which, 30,000 bees attacked shoppers at an Ohio Walmart. EMTs faced trouble distinguishing which swollen bodies were the result of bee stings and which ones were just shoppers at Walmart. I really enjoyed that one. I just had the best metal picture of the sad old man, the greeter in the wheelchair, having to greet every bee greet every bee individually. Oh, that's so funny.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Welcome to Walmart. Welcome to Walmart. Welcome to Walmart. Welcome to Walmart. The motor breaks down. He's just spinning in circles. Being stung to death by bees. They'd pay me $4 an hour.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Walmart, you get all those old people that are like, is that an elbow tumor or are you just fat weird? Because there's a golf ball where your tricep should be. I don't know if that's from Mountain Dew or just you just abusing your body. It's a recognition called gut pucker. I think like 80% of the structural integrity of grandmas is just bunions. You're just sending it tumor Voltrons. Yeah, just little connector blocks for your Legos.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Oh, my God. And if you drop it, it falls into a million pieces. Yeah, bunions are just batteries for geezers. All right. Stubbs the Cat, the unofficial mayor of Taktini, Alaska, passed away this week. I want to point that out. Stubbs the Cat. In honor of the fallen mayor, the city has moved a bowl of water into the middle of the kitchen floor.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Just a sweet joke. The eternal flame. We have a long history of a bit about a town where a dog was the mayor and I was trying to find a way to connect those and I couldn't do it. Also, nobody listens or cares. Moving on.
Starting point is 00:10:20 As the guy who was the brainchild of that sketch along with you and Nat Baymel, I feel comfortable dismissing it entirely. It's dumb, and you are dumb for liking it. You know what? I voted for Dog Mayor, and I stand by it. So did I. It was a protest vote.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Dog Mayor was so dumb. I'm more about like a dog lawyer or some shit, you know? Cool. Thanks, Tom. Tom, thanks for blowing the one-hour drama I was pitching about your life. After announcing plans to shelve the 32-year-old program Microsoft Paint, an outpouring of online activism has saved the image editor. In a related story, Republican senators voted today to kill everybody. Really glad we focused our attention on Microsoft Paint.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I like 4chan comics as much as the next guy, but for the love of God, prioritize. Look, I definitely can't afford insurance, but I might be able to draw bad boobs. So, like, that's where my priorities are. Yeah, you just need a mirror and a couple quiet minutes to yourself. There you go, champ. All right. The rotting corpse of a beached whale was discovered in a small French town.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Residents knew something was amiss because France smelled better. It's a smelly country. Can't believe I didn't get to that decomposing whale first. I really got a... Did you get failed by your Google alerts? I know. I thought I had it country. I can't believe I didn't get to that decomposing whale first. I really got a... Did you get failed by your Google alerts? I know. I thought I had it covered.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I had rotting biomass. I had Seattle and heroin in there for a good mom or dad joke. Yeah, every variable of bad-smelling goo you can think of, I have been called on this show. Indeed. All right. John McCain submitted his reputation this week as the greatest uniter in the country
Starting point is 00:11:46 when he got millions of people to root for brain cancer. Rah, rah. I posted this on Facebook, but I think it'd be funny if we all just collectively pooled our money and hired a Vietnamese guy to just follow him around and poke him with a stick until he dies. I was watching all that unfold, and I saw on Twitter, like, oh, McCain's wavering. He might vote tomato. Yeah, this really just confirms everything I've ever known to be true in my heart, which is that Arizona fucking sucks ass.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Agreed. It's the fucking worst place. I have no clue what we're talking about right now. We don't have to update me. I just want to make sure it's clear. To be fair, Tom got some of his fillings redone so he can't hear the government anymore. Yeah, and he shaved off the antennas. Yeah, I got that weird brain C-span.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It gives me a headache. My listening sticks are off. I don't know what's going on anymore. A new LGBT combat unit has been created to fight ISIS in Syria. The queer insurrection is taking to the battlefield with their war cry, Allahu Daido. Okay. Daido? Isn't that a lesbian thing? No.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Dido? That wouldn't be a gay reference. All right. Wait, from Stan? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What's she done since then? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Ben Dido from Stan? I feel like that's... She has her own albums. All right, I have one more joke. Feels like an Indigo Girls. A decomposing whale was found off the coast of France. Connor McSpadden died from excitement trying to think of a Keith
Starting point is 00:13:10 Carey joke. Okay, I redeemed myself. No, you didn't. Hey, I said it happened, so it did. Okay, two plus two equals five and you're skinny. Let's move on. War is peace. Ignorance is smartness. Tom is cool.
Starting point is 00:13:29 A new trailer was released for Thor Ragnarok featuring the Incredible Hulk. If you like seeing an Aryan pretty boy embarrassingly outperformed by his husky sidekick, listen to the Mean Boys podcast. That's really not nice to Tom. Wait a minute. Why you?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Hey man, he's an indispensable part of this podcast. Someone has to bring the aesthetic of a 90s new metal DJ to the stage. Oh, man. Fuck. What, you're not going to hit a sample? There we go. Dance for me, Slipknot. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:00 New Jersey raised its minimum smoking age to 21 this week in an effort to give the state's local carcinogens a head start. I didn't have a good one. The local carcinogens is also John Michael's failed punk outfit. RIP 1994 to 1994 and a half. I don't know how old you are, but that sounds right. Yeah. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:14:20 That's a Mexican joke off, everybody. That was a rollicking beginning to what's sure to be a fantastic show. And it's really all because of listeners. I'm just fucking around. We'll be right back after some ISIS bullshit. If you've been raped, murdered, or otherwise filled the capacity with the rancid seed of Karnak the Bloodfeaster, you could be entitled to real cash compensation. I was disemboweled.
Starting point is 00:14:40 My tongue was thrown to the murder hounds. If you or your loved ones have suffered at the hands of the mighty Karnak or his political running mate, you may have legal recourse. Call 946-BLOOD for your free consultation. The offices of J.J. Radwell and Lemming are here to help you get the money you deserve. My son was replaced by a mindless demon of the abyss. My legs were bent in 500 painful directions. My eyes were picked out by the many crows that spawned from Carnock's oozing armpit.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Let us fight for you. Remember, that's 946 blood. 946 blood for your free consultation today. Yeah, he looked fucking and took all my blood out and replaced it with termites. I, uh, slipped and fell in his foyer. Hey, he exposed all my nerve endings and lightly caressed me with a feather duster. Call the offices of J. J. Radwell and Lemming today and start on the
Starting point is 00:15:30 path to a painful but wealthy existence. 946 blood. Once again, 946 blood today. And the Mean Boys podcast is back with a game that is a reskinned version of a game deemed too dark to air called Emo Lyric or Suicide Note. A little bit of background.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Someone sent in this game. I saw it. I read the title. I was like, you know what? That's going to be hilarious. There's no way that could miss. That seems on brand. I didn't read it.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I just played it back in the early days of the show. And as we got to the end of it, we were like, we cannot put this out Because to be very clear It was like, oh, these are people who just died Like 20 minutes before this guy wrote this game Oh yeah, that was the last one He was like, suicide note written 20 minutes before This game was sent over How long have these notes been allowed to age?
Starting point is 00:16:18 Well, here's the thing Here's how I turned it These are either lines from emo songs Or these are lines from my suicide note. No, because that's just cock-teasing what everyone wants. For you to finally just start an emo band, all right?
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah, exactly. You're going to be like those guys during the one-arm scissor days at the drive-thru. Drive-in? For him, it would be at the drive-thru. Drive-y sad boys? Drive-thru.
Starting point is 00:16:45 I was going with taking back ice cream sundaes, but, you know, there's a lot of... You would never take it back. You would eat all but one bite and then complain. Yeah, exactly. Then I get a free one. You get it. You know how I operate. I think it's scams. Yeah, I have a well-publicized... Something about my
Starting point is 00:17:01 something romance, but the chemical is like green dye number five. Okay, whatever. Just go for it. I love when you don't have a joke, so you just explain where you thought the joke might be. I give everybody a little erector set of humor, and I'm like, you figure this out. It's an Ikea joke. The pieces are there. Like medley bits.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Yeah, shove an L and wrench up your ass and have some poppers, and maybe you'll get it. I don't know. It's been a real popper-heavy couple episodes. Indeed it has. So yeah, so game is simple. I'm going to read you a line. You have to figure out if it's from my suicide note or from an emo song. Number one, quote, I'm not afraid of the dark, but the light burns my eyes.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Fuck. You gotta go back in time. We really picture extra angsty adolescent Keith Carey and I caught him at the tail end of this. I'm going emo lyric. That's an emo lyric. I don't think Keith would be that ham-handed. I'm also leaning towards emo lyric. The correct answer is, that is from my
Starting point is 00:17:52 suicide note. Oh my god. You have no idea how ham-handed 2004 Keith was. Dude, you used to wear makeup, huh? Say the line one more time. I'm not afraid of the dark, but the light burns my eyes. I'm just seeing if you accidentally hacked someone in your suicide note. I probably did. Again, what people love most about this
Starting point is 00:18:07 podcast is the fact-checking. The listeners always say, less sound effects. It's original. It's original. I'm very proud of you. Yeah. One time, while Keith and I were living together, while I was in a weird, destructive relationship, she read one of Keith's poems that he'd written to somebody,
Starting point is 00:18:24 and I remember one line of it if you don't mind me sharing i sure do but go ahead okay uh you're a vikadin high and hand jobs in the park yeah i remember that that was a pretty good love poem that was a better girl i did vikadin with and got jerked off by in a park oh i see i thought i was really on the nose i was going for a pakowski thing yeah i'm not saying it's bad but i mean it's definitely got a very particular aesthetic. Also, can we acknowledge the fact you gave us a part of your suicide note
Starting point is 00:18:49 and our first impulse was to see if you stole it from a lyric. Well, I mean, if I'm going to start plagiarizing, that's the time. What are they going to do? I'm probably the kind of person who'd be like, that doesn't sound like Keith. I mean, the key to creativity... You're at my funeral and you get up to talk and that's what you said? I'll just be like, that doesn't sound like Keith. I mean, the key to creativity.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You're at my funeral when you get up to talk and that's what you said? I'll just be like, look, I know Brandy didn't give out lyric sheets, but. I mean, guys, look, the key to creativity is being able to hide your sources. I don't know if they make hefty bags that big. Number two, quote, we're just getting to the part where the shock sets in. I'm going emo lyric. That's not flowery enough. Okay, we got emo, we got suicide note.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Tom. Fuck. Because it could be something, it could be like one of those theatrical fucking bands that is like, let's pretend everything's a musical, but I think, I don't know. Okay. Like I could see you self-aggrandizing in a suicide note.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I mean, yeah. Like just be like, like referring to your dead body in third person. Oh, that's like totally some shit. I did. Now you miss Keith. Don't you? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Look at him now. Oh, fuck. God, your suicide note. Very different than my collection. The collection. Yeah. I'm a chronic. Tom's got a whole dossier.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm a chronic. Like, you're reissuing the fucking pink floyd discography yeah tom got a suicide next week we'll do tom's suicide note or deftones later this is fascinating all my suicide it's like the one time i have word economy i was like i'm gonna let this one breathe just like it's on you i found a really weird way to feel left out of something uh give it time uh you never just had a Sunday and you're like, you know what? Just in case. I'm going to write this note.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Nah, I hate my creative output too much to try to get anything down on paper. Look, suicide notes are the millennial version of a will. Oh, man. I'm going to go with suicide note. The correct answer is emo lyrics. Interesting. That is from Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic at the Disco.
Starting point is 00:20:45 You nailed it right on the head. That song title is longer than John Michael's first Mexican joke. Which is impressive. Number three,
Starting point is 00:20:54 quote, I deserve better but I'd settle for so much worse. That's a little... Jesus Christ. That... Oh God,
Starting point is 00:21:03 that's so lame. That's too positive for Keith. I'm going... It's too positive for my suicide. That, oh God, that's so lame. That's too positive for Keith. I'm going. It's too positive for my suicide. Yeah, well, obviously you wouldn't settle for less if you're killing yourself, but maybe that's the switcheroo. I'm going emo lyric. You can't settle for less than killing yourself. Cool.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The correct answer is that is from my suicide note. What the fuck? I don't remember. I wasn't thinking great. I was a little preoccupied. Dude, I'm proud of you for having a positive outlook on your death, man. No, seriously. It thinking great. I was a little preoccupied. Dude, I'm proud of you for having a positive outlook on your death, man. No, seriously. It's great.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I think it was something to the tune of like... You're killing yourself. What's worse? Like I didn't feel anything. Like I wanted to feel either worse or better. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Numbness, dog. Number four, quote, I'm the king of this pity party with a jewel-encrusted crown. Oh, man. I love how hard this came out. I'm going... It really is. This is tough, bro. I love how hard this came out. I'm going... It really is. This is tough, bro. I'm going with bands.
Starting point is 00:21:50 And the reason why... If you would have said Burger King crown, I would have known for sure. Sorry. You did that with such a bold swing and such a dumb joke. Yes, it was. Here's the thing. Here's my logic. You haven't been hyping your pity as much
Starting point is 00:22:06 in the other lyrics or verses this is a three-page suicide notes there were a lot of yeah jesus people are going through something man it's not like he can write an epilogue after you killed yourself you did that thing where you're like you got to sit down to watch this 10 minute boring youtube video yeah writing a three-page suicide note is like telling someone they have to watch all of Lost in a Weekend. This is like 80 reasons why. We got it after two. That's harder than actually disposing
Starting point is 00:22:33 of your corpse getting through that. Alright, make your guesses. I gotta take a cringe break every once in a while. I'm going band. That's an emo lyric. I'm going emo lyric. That is an emo lyric. By the Spill Canvas from the song Polygraph Right Now. Oh god, I hated that band. That's an emo lyric. I'm going emo lyric. Please say it. That is an emo lyric. Thank God. Yeah. That is by the Spill Canvas from the song Polygraph Right Now.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Oh, God. I hated that band. Yeah, me too. Number five. Quote, the truth is you could slip my throat and with one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt. I mean. That's Keith.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's Keith. That is Keith. No, that's. Which is weird because he's gone on to not do the dishes very often. That is a Taking Back Sunday lyric. Sure the fuck is. That is Taking Back Sunday. You're so last summer.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I was kind of hoping that you were like, I'd apologize for bleeding on your floor. Like you just changed it just enough. I fucking vanilla iced it. One note is different. Sorry about the mess. Number six quote. That is actually someone's suicide note. The black metal band Mayhem.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Oh, yeah. By the name Dead. And he shot himself in a suicide note. Just said, sorry about the blood. There was a guy who went to a music open mic and sang an original song called Sorry About the Mess. And at the end of it, stabbed himself in the stomach. I heard about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Rude. The one open mic. Was he last? Yeah. No, I heard he wasn mic. Was he last? Yeah. No, I heard he wasn't. And you know there was some comic that's like, so can I do the rest of his time? No, I mean, like,
Starting point is 00:23:50 if you waited in an open mic for three fucking hours and then right before you got up, some guy just killed himself on the stage. I'm like, hey, can I keep that guitar? You may stick the whole thing. Just like as they're mopping up the board, just, yeah, so I'm doing the roast battle. Well, I was roasting that guy.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I mean, someone else will probably be doing that in a more official capacity at the crematorium. All right, a couple more. Number six, quote, turn off the air. Hopefully I'll sleep without dreaming. Fuck me. Turn off the air. Keith really needs ventilation at all times. So, I mean, that is...
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. I mean, with his apnea, I assume that could just be, like, the way you're going to kill yourself to begin with. Yeah, that's how I'm going down. I'm going lyric. I think that's a lyric. Okay. I think I'm going lyric as well. I'm going to switch it up.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'm going to say it's Keith. Tom is correct. That is from the suicide note. Turn off the air? Turn off the air. Like that Spider-Man musical. Wait, what is that referring to? Is that the air conditioner?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like the air in my body. In your body. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, turn that off. I was trying out a lot of different stylistic things with this note. Was it originally oxygen? You're like not the right amount of syllables?
Starting point is 00:25:04 Yeah, I'm trying to write a death haiku. Yeah, Keith, I really think if you got to a second or third graph, this could have been a really good suicide. We got to read it thoroughly before we can grade it. I got two more. I believe that it's right. We are both annoying and bumming out Keith. So let's close this out strong.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I'm fine. Two more. Quote, last night everything was right and the rain was gone. Ooh, fuck. Oh, man. I ran like a punk scene for 2004 to like 2012. The microphone, John. 2004 to 2012.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I've heard so many goddamn emo songs and your suicide note sounds like all of them. I know. It's horrifying. That's why this is a really good game. This is a fucking infuriating game. Yeah, it's tough. I feel like that's them. I know. That's why this is a really good game. This is a fucking infuriating game. Yeah, it's tough. I feel like that's you. I feel like that's you too. I'm gonna go against the river again
Starting point is 00:25:54 and say it's the band. That's a song by Go Against the River. No, I'm kidding. That is from a song, though. That is a song by the Get Up Kids called I'm Alone or Dottie or Rebel. Interesting. Last one. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Last one. Quote, fuck me. This is a 50-50 game, and I'm performing well under 50% success. Fuck me. I'm going to go with your suicide note. But also probably. That's a Tinder message sent 20 minutes before we started recording. It's both, right?
Starting point is 00:26:23 That is correct. That is both. Yeah. That is from all I've got by the used and uh that note where i didn't want it to live anymore well this was this was way more fun than the other version i think it really was yeah the best part about this game is like you could play it several times tom go ahead hit us with a pokeball sound we need to cheer up a little oh there it is there it is. There it is. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:46 All right. Cool. Well, that's going to fix everything. While we pick up the pieces of this emotional wreckage, the Mean Boys podcast will be right back.

You know boy sack's real. But that means fudge pack is real. Move the trips to boy sack. I can't do a British accent, but that's what I think they sound like.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Can you believe that Hitler had to... Oh, me? I work at a gas station in Boy Sack? One day I'm going to... I'm going to die on the hills of Boy Sack for a fucking lie, Miss Thatcher. One day I'm going to get out of Boy Sack and move to the big city of Skrotelburg.

Oh man, there's nothing better than watching someone sigh, slump over and say, you don't know Phil Collins I feel like I watched an entire generation of fathers just burst into flames You should know more about punk rock and you should know more about Phil Collins if you're going off of aesthetics I feel like Phil Collins says that more than anybody else I feel like Phil Collins does refer to himself
Starting point is 00:35:03 in the third person, like, Phil Collins would like an iced caramel mocha latte. Just carrying his fucking Tarzan Oscar around. Speaking of which, Tarzan Oscar, do you have a guess? The options are over time. We live in trash can. Little Whinging, Shitlingthorpe, Pity Me, or Honey Knob Hill.

And the Mean Boys podcast is back, and it's time to check our voicemail. You can leave us a voicemail at 304-805-MEAN That's 304-805-6326 for all you fucking simpletons out there. These have not gotten any less creepy, nor have they gotten any more coherent.
Starting point is 00:39:53 But, boy, are there three of them. Yeah, our voicemail box just sounds like the voicemail box of literally any woman. Like, it is a nightmare. Oh, yeah, it's pretty rough. I got a lot of empathy for you gals now. So let's start this off with this one. Hello, this message is for Keith.
Starting point is 00:40:09 So you and me met on the Grindr app and we did some stuff, some homosexual stuff with our butts and our penises. Nice. Oh, my name is Roger, by the way. And long story short, I have these little bumps on the inside of my anal furnace.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And, I mean, I haven't seen the doctor yet. But you should probably just go to the doctor as well. So I was just doing my due diligence. And if you want to hang out again, hit me up on Grindr. Okay, goodbye. and if you want to hang out again hit me up on Grindr okay goodbye I just want to say that people implying that we've had gay sex together never will stop being funny
Starting point is 00:40:52 I mean I just love that he delivered that joke like he was returning a library book to you uh oh I fucked up what the fuck? This turns into like the weird War of the Worlds episode.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Yeah, that's... Check, check. All right, that should be good. Let me look at the audio. Sorry, guys. I was trying to make it louder. Yo, yo, yo. Okay, we're good.'re good too good yeah cool uh well that sucked and uh if you left that uh thank you and also shut up yeah it's one of these things where uh this is going to be a lot of people trying to be funny and a lot of times most people aren't funny i just figure it's like
Starting point is 00:41:39 a humble brag about that cool textured butthole yeah yeah, it's ribbed for whoever's pleasure. I got bumps. It'll feel real good. I made your butthole distinct. Super sensitive. Keith's butthole is ribbed. His torso, not so much. It's an easy joke. My butthole just looks like Daffy Duck when he smokes the Dynamite cigar. Just blown open, smoldering. Oh, okay. I love that joke. I'll never stop
Starting point is 00:41:59 making it. Let's go on to the next one. Hey, everybody. It's everyone's favorite UConner, Richard Eaton. I just wanted to say that I think you guys are all very rad, and I look forward to you all being terrible all in one place. Okay, bye. Hey, man, how about we ride the line between what that guy did and what the last guy did?
Starting point is 00:42:17 One of them is really nice but not that interesting, but he donates to the Patreon, so we've got to play it on the air. And the other one is really aggressive and definitely doesn't have any money to give us for our internet panhandling. Is this Richard Eaton? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Richard Eaton, yeah. Yeah, he's a friend of the pod. He is the name and the sweet voice of someone who's going to like ruin a night at the movies someday. Oh, no. You should save that
Starting point is 00:42:39 for when the news comes a-calling. I was picking up like a cult leader vibe. I got like the kind of guy that would give you an Easter gift. School shooter, cult leader vibe. I got the kind of guy that would give you an Easter gift. School shooter, cult leader, good at Easter. And all three of them could definitely be one person.
Starting point is 00:42:52 He sounds like the kind of guy who'd brag on a message board about being a center-mast shooter. Tom just dropped something. Oh, man, that is a weird wall. We got one more? Yeah, we have one more. This is a long one, and it's mostly for me, but I think we ought to
Starting point is 00:43:07 let it play. Hey, just wanted to call to let you know the only thing I love better than the Mean Boys podcast is a white boy bent over and his hairy ass and eating it. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Do you think he's talking about me? I mean, we're all white. Let's continue. I imagine that when I bend some young, hot, hairy, twinked ass over and open those lips,
Starting point is 00:43:44 I see the three of you looking out, waving at me, and smiling on your face. I've paid money for this before. He just sees us waving like the end of Return of the Jedi with the ghosts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why we're doing the that's all folks inside of a twink's butthole. That's like the circle Porky Pig comes out.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Is we really nailing home that the consent was, like like gotten? Yeah. Okay. Did that come out right? No. No, it didn't. Let me just stop you there.
Starting point is 00:44:12 All right. How about we try this again? The only thing I love better than the Mean Boys podcast is eating out a white boy's nice tight ass. God. I imagine the three of you looking out and waving with a big grin on your face while I get ready to shove my face in his ass
Starting point is 00:44:31 and eat it till kingdom comes. Hang on. First off, so Connor's getting his ass eaten out. And then he sees me inside of it, like some kind of weird inception. You guys are watching? Oh, I'm the third? I thought so. Well, I mean, he didn't know I was
Starting point is 00:44:48 going to be on the episode. Yeah, you're not involved. I think he's at U3 implying he's eating some other dude's butthole and he just wants us to be there for moral support. No, I thought he was eating. We'll do a live podcast from your gay sex event. Yeah, I mean, hit us up. Meanboyspodcast.gmail.com Please, please, for the love of God.
Starting point is 00:45:04 No, it sounds, because Because the three of you, it sounds like two of you are watching while one of you are getting your salad tossed. Yeah. And then either you're switching out or at the end of it, the two of you who didn't get eaten out are waving like,
Starting point is 00:45:16 next time, daddy. Are we really examining it this hard? I'm mostly just uncomfortable with how many times he used the word white. Yeah. That seems to really be a stick. He has a very specific type. Minorities have been fetishized for years.
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's your turn, okay? Let's appropriate that. Okay, but this is also a white. This seems more like I'll have weird gay hostile sex, but no race mixing. That seems like what we're doing. Let's see if he's got a point to all of this. Fair enough. All right, let's hear him out.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I bet he does. Let's hear him out. I bet he does. Let's hear him out. Oh, sorry. Oh, the twist to all this is it's going to be Keith with all these points. Oh yeah. Fuck everything. God ain't dead. He's in that white boy's ass.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That's the end of it. God lives in a white boy's an. That's the end of it. God lives in a white boy's anus. That's actually my favorite Bukowski poem. That's going to be our episode of your religion podcast. Yeah, I've been shitting through heaven this whole time. Didn't know. We, as always, we posted that we were having John Michael Bond come in, and we had a few questions from the listening audience.
Starting point is 00:46:23 A friend of the show, Brian Cox, says, Is there anything Danzig could do to make us go, you know what? Fuck it. You're cool again. Man. I didn't realize the people were off. Yeah, I didn't know that Danzig
Starting point is 00:46:37 was on the shit. Because Danzig's always been a prick. But I thought that was what we liked about Danzig. But he's not even like a... He's just lame now. There was the cat thing. There was the thing of him getting punched out. I don't even...
Starting point is 00:46:49 There was all that music he made. Is this a cartoon animal? I have no idea who it is. The singer from The Misfits. The wacky Avengers of Danzig. I don't know. Like if you could follow
Starting point is 00:46:59 your bliss and wear finger knives and like pleather and like live in a house full of strippers and sing about the devil and go get cat litter and be turned into a meme and then still be the devil on stage? Aren't you already the hero?
Starting point is 00:47:11 That's kind of a good point. I was pretty anti-Danzig but you're turning me around. Nobody hate Danzig and Bullwinkle. Whatever. Nobody stopped wearing JNCOs because they didn't love them. They did it because they were getting yelled at at school. Danzig just never got yelled at to stop wearing whatever his version of JNCOs are. This't love them. They did it because they were getting yelled at at school. Like, Danjick just never got yelled at to stop wearing whatever his version of JNCOs are. This is like the Star Trek
Starting point is 00:47:28 Next Generation episode, Measure of a Man, where they have to debate if Data's human. But with... Who amongst us can say that we have not needed kitty litter at an inopportune makeup time? Do I not wear finger gauntlets? Do I not bleed? You guys could not have stacked up more
Starting point is 00:47:43 references. I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Tom, give us your best guess as to what is going on right now. Okay. We're finding out some punk man isn't cool anymore and then we brought in that stupid star movie
Starting point is 00:47:58 and the bald guy is riffing as a cat. Yep. 100% accuracy rate. You nailed it. That is a one-hour drama. It is a horrorcore singer. I don't know. Paige Wesley asks,
Starting point is 00:48:15 John Michael Bond, which barbecue meat pairs best with Miller High Life, and why?
