Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. Get that Angel Reef special at McDonald's now. Let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and a drink. Sound good? At participating restaurants for a limited time. I think we were sharp on that one.
Starting point is 00:00:43 I don't, I couldn't hear it. I thought I was flat. I thought I was flat. Oh. You might've been sharp. I couldn't hear it. I thought I was flat. I thought I was flat. Oh. You might have been sharp. I didn't know that. Ah, fuck, man. If you're sharp and I'm flat, it's going to sound absolutely horrible. It's going to sound perfect because we'll cancel each other out.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Isn't that the devil's triad when it's one note and then like sharp and flat too or no? That's not correct. That's a fork. This? I'm holding justad middle three fingers so jeffrey it's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new week for we and we're feeling here Where did you find this wedding band? I don't know. It was very highly rated, but they're singing it and they're playing it beautifully, but they're using the wrong lyrics.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Fish in the sea, you know how we are. What? River running on, you know how we are. Running on? Like a run-on sentence? What are they singing about? Breeze drifting on in. You know how we are.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's a new day. They're stuck on that we are thing. It's a new day. It's a new week. Week. For a week. For we. And we're feeling here. They're so good at getting the most cacophonous sounds.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And it fits phonetically. They're getting it on each beat. I'm gonna cry. It's a new dawn. It's a gonna cry. It's a new dawn. It's a new day. It's a new week. It's a new week. For we.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I'm sure Turbulent Moose on the subreddit is gonna turn that in. Turbulent Moose has been killing it on the subreddit Well now everybody thinks he hosts the show And how is that fair to you? Well no Because they know that I'm the co-host They think he hosts it with me No
Starting point is 00:02:55 Because that would mean that it's negative to me In a way It is He made a video that made us really really Emo Because he had insomnia Or something It is. What? He made a video that made us really, really emo. Because he had insomnia or something. And made a video about, like, a promo, like, a review, review, promo video. And it was, like, a super cut of, like, all these different characters that Jeff and I have done at HeadGum.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And it, like, I'm like, wow. One, I'm like, wow, look at all, there was, oh oh my god, that video was so fun, that video was so fun. But then there were moments that I'm like, god, this wasn't that long ago, I look like a child. It was emotional. I love the idea of making something that obviously took a lot of time and then trying to play it off
Starting point is 00:03:39 as not weird because I had insomnia. Mr. Hanks. I never do this. But I just, Mr. Hanks, I never do this. I never do this, but I made you this painting. Yeah. It's of you and the whole family.
Starting point is 00:03:50 There's Chet. There's Rita. Oh my God. Oh my God. This is, this must've taken days. Yeah. This was about four weeks,
Starting point is 00:03:58 but I couldn't sleep, you know? So, so you just did this because you couldn't. So, you know what? Sorry, honey, go to the car.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Give me a couple minutes. Go to the car. Like you said, this guy might be a danger. Love that. Lock the car. You'll never feel worse about yourself than if somebody tells their significant other to go to the car? Go wait in the car. I'm not dangerous. What is this? You don't have to go wait in the car. You don't have to wait in the car. Rita, you don't have to wait in the car. Rita, Rita, go to the
Starting point is 00:04:32 car. You spent four weeks making this. I haven't slept since June. And then what I did with the extra time was I sort of made this painting of you and the whole family. I'm going to the car. Are you kidding me? Are you not going to the whole family. I'm going to the car. Are you kidding me? Are you not going to take the painting? I'm going to the car. No, you clearly spent a lot of time on it. I think you should reap the benefits of that. I'm going to the car.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It was so nice to meet you. It's so nice to meet a fan. Thank you so much. I also wrote a song. Lovely Rita, Tom Hanks' wife. Nothing could come between them. If I approach Tom in a parking lot. We are driving
Starting point is 00:05:06 away. Of course! Waving bye. That's it. Go wait in the car. So here we are. We're just like hanging out. We're just hanging out. We are just hanging out. We're banking Epps. We're banking Epps because you're going on a road trip.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I'm going on a road trip. So you remember when I sang It's a New Dawn, It's a new day, and it's a new week? Yeah, it has only been 20 minutes. It's actually, it's been, yeah, so it's not a new week. It's a new week for everyone listening. When I'm listening to this, it'll be a new week. But right now it's not a new week for we, and we're feeling here. We're feeling here right now because it's still Thursday, July 16th.
Starting point is 00:05:39 We're feeling here. That's, I do have an issue with that lyric. Shouldn't it be like- Why? Because it's not... What does that mean? Have you ever felt... Well, I mean, it's just like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:49 We're feeling here. No, you sound great. It's the lyric. That bums me. We're feeling here. So. So. Anyway, what are we talking about today?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Anthropology. Anthropology. This is my about today? Anthropology. Anthropology. This is my favorite store, Anthropology. What? What? It's your favorite store? I got everything in this closet from Anthropology. For real?
Starting point is 00:06:16 No, but at least it sounds good. Like, if I say something I wrote was based on a true story, that sounds kind of compelling. It doesn't have to be true for it to have that effect on you. So you think that you saying all of your wardrobe comes from anthropology is compelling? Okay, well, when you say it like that, of course it sounds awesome. But what I'm trying to understand is, like, how does what I say affect others on their ears? You know what I mean? So, like, if I say, like, let me, I'm going to say you something and then you tell me what effect it has on you.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You're going to say me something? I'm going to say something to you. You're going to say me something? Okay, say me something. All right. I just got back from a camping trip and we like hiked and we bungee jumped. It was a lot of action packed things and I took photos of it. Oh my God, you bungee jumped?
Starting point is 00:07:03 See? That's crazy. And I didn't do that. But your reaction is like, oh, you looked at me in a different way. You thought that I was photos of it. Oh my god, you bungee jumped? See? That's crazy. And I didn't do that, but your reaction is like, oh, you looked at me in a different way. You thought that I was kind of extreme. So, Jeff loves to do this thing where he will tell us that he is moving to a certain place
Starting point is 00:07:16 when he's not actually moving to that place, or gonna do something that he's not actually gonna do just to get just to get a response he had and i do love to put you on blast like this he had a bit a couple weeks ago where he texted like a couple of our friends separately and he had this whole thing jeff fate jeff loves to move. We know this. And Jeff literally texted me, amongst others, being like, hey, so you know how I'm moving?
Starting point is 00:07:50 I'm like, yeah. He's like, well, I'm actually moving to South Pasadena. And so for those of you who don't know where we are now, it's a good drive away. It's not that far. No, but it's inconvenient enough to where it is far. Because it's right by Hollywood Park. It is, but it's far away enough of possibility that I could live there. Because it's right by a highway. It is, but, like, but it's far away enough where it's, like, it's out of the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And so Jeff's like, I'm moving there. And, like, we found this great spot. And, like, will you still visit? Will you still come over? And I remember being like, yeah, I mean, you know, I probably won't, like, pop by anymore. Like, we live close enough where I can, like, pop by. But, you know, I'll go over if it's, like, if I know I be there for the whole day or if it's gonna be like i'll be there for like a long part of the night or something like that and jeff's like that's cool i'm not actually moving
Starting point is 00:08:31 to south pasadena well you i told right away but there are some people i didn't tell so my roommate elizabeth valente she like even a couple days ago was like out of the blue one morning was just like wait so is jeff moving to south pasadena and i'm like no he is not she goes okay so he told me he is i'm like that's not true he's not doing it was a false it was a falsehood but for a few weeks there she thought that i was at least had the balls to be somewhere kind of off the beaten path she didn't think you had the balls to do it she thought why the hell hell is Jeff moving to South Pasadena? That's stupid. Well, it's not central.
Starting point is 00:09:07 It's not easy to get to meetings. Exactly. It's hard. So we didn't think you were like a big man for that. No, but you did because I also told Annie, Zoruba Walker, and she was like, I'm never going to see you again. And I was like, I'm kind of a lone wolf in that regard.
Starting point is 00:09:23 And then in terms of getting to the office or getting to the studio to record, 35 minute commute right um it's a good story my point is like i say things to have a certain effect and it doesn't matter if they're true that's lying no okay we're here to talk about anthropology the store you're talking to two-time emmy nominated jeffrey james my God. Jeff, do you have any experience with anthropology? My sister, Sarah, would shop at anthropology in high school occasionally. And there was this candle that she would often burn. Oh, they have good candles there.
Starting point is 00:09:57 What's that? They have good candles. They do. And so anytime you walk into anthropology, it just smells like my sister's high school bedroom. That's so specific. Correct. And that's what other people say. They're like, this smells like Jeff's sister's high school bedroom.
Starting point is 00:10:13 What? Who's Jeff? And how would you know that? But yeah, I mean, it's all like fake bohemian things that cost hundreds of hundreds of dollars it's so expensive but this was before the days of etsy so anyways that was our show um are you kidding me because when you end on that then it's a stupid when i was in high school i had an english teacher who basically it's like her everything she wore i don't know if she got it at anthropology i think some stuff she did but like everything she had was anthropology and vice versa anthropology was her i mean like some
Starting point is 00:10:53 stuff she might not have gotten there but any case the vibe was anthropology the whole thing like i walked in and like oh this is miss isaac this is where i'm at um and i think sometimes i would go into an anthropology being like is this i'm gonna try and make this my thing i'm gonna try and like this is the girl i want to be but there's i would never find anything that i actually liked um and except for like maybe a candle and there's like a pair of earrings that i still wear that i got from anthropology but other than that like it's all just a little, it's all just a little too over the top for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Meaning like ruffles or what? Too much. Yeah. Like a lot of ruffles, a lot of like, it just a lot. It's just not even sheer, like shimmery,
Starting point is 00:11:39 even shimmery and ruffles. And like, yeah, exactly. I know, dude. Um, so just a lot of stuff that i just
Starting point is 00:11:46 it was a it's a lot it's a lot i guess and it's we should explain what anthropology is for people who don't know it's like it's it's parent company is urban outfitters i learned and it's like an adult makes sense oh he faux bohemian chic clothing and furniture store. Is that fair to say? Yes. That's absolutely what it is. So you're better off just buying like locally made stuff if you want that. But it's right.
Starting point is 00:12:15 And so now we're here to talk about it. You were broken for a second. I broke for a minute. So Jeff, why don't, you know what? Hey, Jeffrey, come here. What? Stand up and listen. I'm not going to stand, but I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Stand up. Fine. Jesus. What? Okay. Thank you. He literally is. He's literally standing.
Starting point is 00:12:35 What? Jeff, I'll let you go first. Thanks, I guess. Okay. You can sit down. Why do I follow your orders? I have no idea. All right, I'll go first.
Starting point is 00:12:47 But first, a word from not only our sponsors, but from, I guess, just, yeah, from our sponsors. Well, who else would it be from? Fucking Claire. Can I be honest? Sometimes it feels like Claire cares more about us than Marty does. Claire Claire's more about us than Marty does. Claire Claire's more about us than Marty. Let's go to the end.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And we're back with a four star review and spot. Guess who's back? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Suzanne R. Suzanne R. Suzanne R. Suzanne really, really, really, really wants a blizzard from DQ.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Her name is Suzanne really, really, really, really wants a blizzard from DQ. Yeah, you can't name yourself this. You came in here. Try to file a legal name change application. Can you just do me a solid and change it? Why do you think really, really, really, really, really wants a Blizzard from DQ is better? Because you realize this will never
Starting point is 00:13:53 fit on a form. This doesn't even fit on the name chase form. Because I really, really, really, really, really want a Blizzard from DQ. That's just how you're feeling in this moment. Why don't you come up with a last name that fits you? Or just keep Quarkskull, because as bad as that is, it's better than what you just proposed.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I come in the next day, so listen man, I thought about what you said, and I still really, really, really, really, really want a Blizzard from DQ. Alright, I can't believe this. I've never, I mean, I'm the one who filed the name change from Ron Artest to MetaWorldPeace, and at that point, that was the worst name I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:14:27 This is worse. Because your first name, by the way, your first name, and I'm not, I know you're not trying to change this, so I'm not trying to make fun of it. I'm just trying to point out that it doesn't go with the last name that you just said. Your first name is Racer. Racer really, really, really, really, really wants a lizard from DQ. I stamp it. All right, take it to the window over there I go to the window of a Dairy Queen wrong window wrong window
Starting point is 00:14:52 alright four stars from Suzanne really really really really wants a Blizzard from DQ four stars from 2009 of anthropology in the meatpacking district of New York. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Manhattan, as it were. I would love a Manhattan right now. Anyway. I have two personas. Daytime Nancy and nighttime Nancy. These correspond proportionately to my outfits as well. Let's back up and introduce these identities. Daytime Nancy is responsible.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Acts like a 30-something adult career professional that she is. Pays her bills on time. Feeds her cats. Goes to the gym and volunteers. No. Nighttime Nancy? No, dude. I think you've all met her.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Or can get a quick briefing by reading a number of her reviews. Especially those of alcohol-serving establishments. Oh, my God. Daytime Nancy is happy when she's draped in clothes from Anthropologie, where the quality and fit are a little more upscale than your average chain. The sweaters here are soft, as a baby blanket, and stylish but classic. They have great sales, too, especially in the off-seasons, and creative window blanket and stylish but classic. They have great sales too, especially in the off seasons and creative window displays and trinkets. I always feel happy
Starting point is 00:16:09 when I'm coming here. It's almost 6 and Daytime Nancy is signing off. She is Jekyll and Hyde. Oh my god. That might be my new favorite review we've ever had. Oh my god. That might be my new favorite review we've ever had. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It can't be real. Also, the person who left the review is Suzanne. Who the fuck is Nancy? Or is she sharing an account? Or do people call her Nancy? Is Nancy a short for Suzanne? I don't think it is. My name is Suzanne, but my friends call me Nancy.
Starting point is 00:16:44 What? Nancy. call me Nancy. What? Nancy. Oh, Nancy, you have been such a help at the Soup Kitchen today. I mean, like I know on a Saturday for you to come in, it's just been like we've had the most incredible time with you. You really are such a giver. Oh, it's you know what it is. It's we need to give back to our community. And, you know, it's it it brings me joy.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It brings me joy to see the smiles on everybody's faces. I've come to really love these little buggers, you know.'s it it brings me joy it brings me joy to see the the the smiles on everybody's faces i've come to really love these little buggers you know i oh my god you are so kind the kids i know the kids really appreciate it and you know what i i hate to do this on such short notice because i know it's um it's it's uh 5 45 right now but um what our 6 p.m volunteer um she actually had the stomach flu so she can't come in would you mind doing the dinner service as well tonight i know it's a lot to ask um but it would we would really really appreciate it if you could stay i knew this day would come i knew this day would come um i'm so sorry i can't i can't work at the soup kitchen anymore i'm gonna have to work at it
Starting point is 00:17:41 what um you are you're our best volunteer. I appreciate that. If I stay past another 14 minutes, now it's 13, you and everyone in this kitchen is going to see a different side of me. Nancy, we know you as this bright, bubbly, fit, fun, career
Starting point is 00:17:59 driven anthropology wearing gal. And that is half of me. That's who you are. That is half of me. I have to go. No, Nancy. Nancy. You actually, um... The Clock Strike 6. Oh! It's a prisoner of
Starting point is 00:18:16 Azkaban, like, transformation into a wolf creature. Oh my god! And then back into just what she looked like before, but she's wearing all black. Skin tight, skinny jeans. What the fuck was that? What the fuck was that? Welcome to nighttime, Nancy fuckers.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Nancy, what's happening? Everything you knew about me is the inverse. So I'm not a career oriented woman anymore. In fact, I couldn't care less if I lose my job. Watch this. Hey, boss. Yeah, what's up, Nancy? Is this Peter? I lose my job. Watch this. Hey, boss. Yeah, what's up, Nancy? Is this Peter?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah. I quit. Want to know why? I would really love to know why. You're our number one stock trader. Because I can't work for somebody I don't respect. Hangs up the phone. See that?
Starting point is 00:18:59 Oh, my. Nancy. What else did you say? You said I was fit? You tell me you go to the gym every morning and after you take care of your cats. Takes a whole bowl of soup. Commercial that. It all goes down. Unbuckle her jeans.
Starting point is 00:19:11 A huge pot belly comes out. Look at me now! Those are for the people we serve in our community. That's not for you, Nancy. You know, I said I fed my cats. Yeah. Not anymore. Mittens and trike. Not anymore. Mittens and trike. Not anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I named them when I was nighttime Nancy. That's why their names are all weird. That makes sense. Did you name Mittens when you were daytime Nancy and trike after six? Correct. Got it. See this? This is an unpaid bill, buddy.
Starting point is 00:19:40 A water bill I haven't paid. And that's nighttime Nancy. This is a receipt for paying my gas bill. And that was daytime, Nancy. Are you starting to get the picture? Nancy, what happened to you? What happens at six? Why do you turn into this monster?
Starting point is 00:19:55 When I was in college, I was a straight-A student, but also I kind of partied. I really did. That's normal. We all did. I really did. Yeah's normal. We all did. I really did. Yeah, we all did. Usually you're either a partier in a burnout or a straight-A student, and you become a tech guru.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Sorry. So either you burn out or you become huge in the tech world. Exactly. Okay. And where did you fall? I figured out a way to do both. That's right. As long as I, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., am goody two-shoes, daytime Nancy, the one that everybody likes, Mitten's mother. And you are tiptoeing. And I am tiptoeing around the soup kitchen.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Then I can be a degenerate from nightfall to sunrise every day and morn i hit the clerbs every day and night only night i misspoke i don't volunteer at night mostly because the soup kitchens are closed but also because i have to kind of box up my personalities in every which way look at my stomach well yeah. Yeah, it's huge. It's like, no, but it's like the rest of your body is so thin. Uh-huh. And this is like, you could fit a monster truck in there.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I've trained my brain and my body, my entire immune system. Whenever I eat anything junk food, it's after 6pm, obviously. It goes straight to my gullet. And from 6am to 6pm, I'm sucking in. I'm fucking, I'm fit. I'm Nancy
Starting point is 00:21:34 who goes to the gym. Now do you see why I can't work at the soup kitchen anymore? Because now you and all the people who come here through broth know the real me and you'll never accept me nancy don't say that nancy look at me i don't care what you do after six i don't care if you name your cat trike i don't care that you somehow trained your body to like warp itself in and out, depending on what time of day it is.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I don't care that you have three glasses of white wine around eight. You are the best volunteer we got. And you know what? We're all flawed. All right. We're all complex. Right. What's your flaw?
Starting point is 00:22:20 Being perfect? No, come on. I'm not perfect i did start the soup kitchen and give all of my money into that and made sure that this meat packing district had the best um community care possible but my flaw is that i still drink cow milk when i know i shouldn't you're just saying i no i'm not watch i grab a gallon of milk from the fridge. Whole. I start chugging it.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You finish the whole jug. See, Nancy? We all have our own little quirks at night. We're all kind of like gremlins in that way, huh? Yeah, I guess you and I are. But what about Josh? Whip Panda Josh? I'm not perfect either, Nancy.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I mean, I haven't seen my son in four years. But here I am, volunteering when I could be spending time with the little tyke. So, there's complexity there. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. We all like to let loose. We all like to...
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah, Josh, I think, yeah. Okay. It, okay. We all like to let loose. We all like to... Yeah, Josh, I think, yeah. Okay. It's okay. You just start laying out the forks, Josh. That'd be really helpful. Forks for a soup kitchen? Okay. Well, it's for the side salad.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Sorry. You knew that. I know. Anyway, if you need to leave... What are you talking about? I wasn't listening. Sorry. I was mesmerized by the fact that you just downed a whole gallon of whole milk.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Nancy, all I'm saying is we all have multiple sides to us. And if nighttime Nancy is, you know, just as much fun as daytime Nancy is, I think we're going to get along just fine. No deal. What? I have my partying friends. I can't bring you into the fold oh so you're leaving then um yeah i mean as long right because there's because we can all be like good and bad and
Starting point is 00:24:15 that's fine we can all be good and bad that being said with your behavior i don't think you should come back to the soup kitchen anymore josh walks up hey guys so my son he's been texting me i guess his mom gave her like mom gave him a phone. Should I respond? I shouldn't, right? Go see your son! Go see your son! Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Are you kidding me? Go see your son! He's like nine. That means he has thoughts. I don't know how to respond. Look at this. This one says, Hey dad, I know you're pretty busy usually,
Starting point is 00:24:42 but mom's new boyfriend, Darren, gave me tickets to the Mets game and he said it's okay if I invite you. Like, what am I supposed to say to that? You're supposed to accept it. Josh, go to the fucking game. Sorry to curse. Go to the game. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah. I want to do it. I'm going to. Okay. Fuck. I'm going to text him back. Right? Of course.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Text him back. Nancy, go drinking. I don't know. Josh, do you want to come? Drinking? Oh, that's, yeah. Fuck my I'm going to text him back, right? Of course. Text him back. Nancy, go drinking. I don't know. Josh, do you want to come? Drinking? Oh, that's, yeah. Fuck my son, right? You can volunteer.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Oh, funny. And be a career woman and go to a bar. You can volunteer on the day with a plate of rice and beans with a little cilantro on the side. We're in New York. We're at a bar. We see Nancy. Ooh, is it Nancy from the daytime? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It's Nancy from the night. And she's looking right. And she's looking tight. But not tight in like a creepy way. More like, ooh, she goes to the gym every day. Because you see her at Equinox, see her at Equinox, see her at Equinox. All right, cut. Look, man.
Starting point is 00:25:56 What's up? You're a very powerful record executive's son. So obviously I got put on this job. I just think we should... I mean, you laid out what your vision is for the tour but it doesn't matter whose dad who's whose son you are you're not going to fill those stadiums unless you put out a good product i think we can at least agree on that so i'm going to rework the lyrics here take a look at this pass it's instead of saying okay like kind of stream of consciousness as it seemed before,
Starting point is 00:26:28 just a nice little hook. Just like, tonight's the night. We're going to do it right. All right? Let's take it. Okay. Yeah, all right. Tonight's the night.

Starting point is 00:35:10 What was that like? It's like, it's nostalgia in a glass. It's being at yours truly diner in Sugar and Falls, Ohio, slurping down that sarsaparilla cream. Don't ever say that imagine roots distilled not really though because it's not alcoholic into a cola in a way basically there's co2 injected into a root juice and then you mix in some sugar lactation from a cow so basically it's sugar lactation from a cow. So basically it's like a big- Sugar lactation's my new band. Sugar lactation.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah. Sugar lactation, blossoms blooming, put my mouth around a glass. That glass held sarsaparilla, and then there's cream.

Starting point is 00:36:19 Right, so that's not what I asked. I asked if you made a movie of your foot at home. I put the float together in a way in my family's kitchen, yeah. And then also I kind of like was unhinged for a weekend and wouldn't answer any of my family members' questions straight or in a language that they understood. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:33 You were speaking in tongues and you were in a man's. Portuguese and, yeah, tongues. Demonic tongues, basically. I was saying Latin phrases backwards. And the root beer was, it was Sprezzers. It was either Sprezzers or Boylins. It might have been A&W. And then I basically summoned, I mean, for lack of a better term, Lucifer himself.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Okay. And he came into the cream, basically. So he was the ice cream. Okay. I transported the serpent into, I mean, honestly, and I'm just going to be honest here, it was a Barks. I lied about it being A&W. So the devil himself was in Barks, and I drank him down. So he's in here somewhere, or I might have passed him.
